Park Meadows — ‘a magnet’ for growth Mall reaches 20th anniversary as major destination for retail By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Park Meadows mall was being built in the mid-1990s, some in the fledgling city of Lone Tree didn’t favor it — some didn’t even know what the massive structure near I-25 and County Line Road was going to be. “When I first moved here, I was signing my kids up for soccer and I was telling one of the other parents how I moved here for Park Meadows. She said, ‘It’s so beautiful. I love that building. How many seniors is

it going to house?’ ” said Pamela SchenckKelly, Park Meadows’ general manager for its 20-year existence. “I came back to the construction trailer the next day and said, ‘Folks, we have our work cut out for us.’ ” Sharon Van Ramshorst, one of Lone Tree’s first residents in the early 1980s, remembers that not everyone welcomed Park Meadows with open arms. “Despite the fact that there were huge signs on the site that said ‘future mall,’ people would say, ‘I didn’t know there was a mall there’ and ‘We don’t want that mall,’ ”said Van Ramshorst, who served on city council from 2004 to 2012. “It was a small number of people, but they were very vocal.” Mall continues on Page 6

Margie Schoedel’s daughter, Rebecca Yarberry, had proposed the idea of the two of them going on a volunteer trip with CURE International, a nonprofit organization that operates hospitals and programs in 29 developing countries around the world. Schoedel was skeptical at first — the trip was to Honduras, a Central American country with high rates of crime and violence. CURE continues on Page 11

HELLO

... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

DEANNA KORDES Owner of Ritzy Rover About me I grew up around Kansas City but have been in Colorado since the late ‘70s. I have a 10-year-old Shih Tzu named Ms. Cinder, after Cinderella. I have always loved animals so I decided to open Ritzy Rover in 2010. We moved here (34 W. Springer Drive, Highlands Ranch) from a location near the Safeway on Broadway last March. We have six groomers — all in-house. We take care of every kind of dog from Chihuahuas to St. Bernards. My U.S. Post Ofﬁce I used the U.S. Post Office in the cleaner’s next door here in the Highlands Ranch Shopping Center for about 27 years. The owner

retired in March 2015 and I missed having a location here, so I put in a bid, which I won. There was a lot of paperwork involved and I had to submit plans for the design — the space had to be at least 300 square feet. We are hoping for more space, which could happen early next year. Through the process, I met a lot of nice people from the post office. How my business has changed Ritzy Rover offers the same services and retail. At the post office, we mainly sell stamps and ship packages. We can send things certified, with returned receipt and overnight. This our fifth week in business and everyone seems really happy to have the location back. I plan to keep it for as long as I can — indefinitely. Prior to opening the post office, I had 40 hours of intense training with someone from the post office. There were a lot of forms — it was interesting, though. I’m still learning things every day. It’s also interesting talking to the customers. There are all kinds of neighborhood people coming in now — it’s very nice. If you have suggestions for My Name Is..., contact Alex DeWind at adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

New post ofﬁce location The U.S. Postal Service has a pop-up location in the Ritzy Rover Dog Spa at the Highlands Ranch Shopping Center, 34 Springer Drive. Veteran Postal Service contract workers run the new location, which is owned by Deanna Kordes. The hours are Monday through Saturday 8:30 a.m. through 5 p.m. The Highlands Ranch Post Office, 9609 S. University Blvd. near South Quebec Street, is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

rooms. Phase 2 includes regrading the field to improve drainage, renovating the irrigation system, widening the park’s interior trails to 8 feet, enhancing the entry area with new retaining walls and landscaping, resurfacing or repurposing the basketball court, improving access to the picnic areas and adding a drop-off area at the east end of the parking lot, according to the Metro District. Phase 2 is expected to start during late fall and be completed by spring 2017.

A resource for volunteer opportunities Volunteer Connect Douglas County is a project of the Partnership of Douglas County Governments — which includes members of Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Larkspur, Castle Pines, the Douglas County School District, Douglas County Libraries and the Highlands Ranch Metro District. The PDCG relies on volunteers to help with ongoing government functions and assist with programs and events. PDCG created the volunteer project to sustain a culture of volunteerism in Douglas County and a lifelong love of volunteering, volunteerconnectdc. org says. The Volunteer Connect DC website lets users create an account and search for volunteer opportunities within a specified area. The site also lets users request volunteers for an organization.

Waterton Canyon weekday closure Beginning Sept. 6, Waterton Canyon will be closed Mondays through Fridays through November while crews complete repairs to the High Line Canal diversion structure in the South Platte River. The canyon will be fully open to recreation on Saturdays and Sundays during this time. For hikers and bikers on the Colorado Trail, there will only be access to Waterton Canyon on the weekends. During the week, trail users should seek alternative access points, which can be found at www.coloradotrail.org/waterton. The High Line Canal diversion structure, built in 1870, helps direct flows into the pipe that carries water to the High Line Canal, when needed. During an inspection in 2015, engineers determined it needed to be replaced. Denver Water began work to repair the dam in February, but had to postpone construction when river levels became too high in April due to the spring runoff. The levels are now low enough in the river to allow work to continue. During this time, crews will also be working on a maintenance project at Strontia Springs Dam, as well as rehabilitating some of the pipes that run across the canyon trail.

Northridge Park renewal Northridge Park, at 8800 S. Broadway, is the oldest in Highlands Ranch. This year, the Metro District is improving the park in two phases. Phase 1 construction includes remodeling the 34-year-old bath-

Highlands Ranch financial firm celebrates 30 years Patricia Kummer’s company has grown with the community By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Patricia Kummer recalls life in Highlands Ranch 30 years ago. Highlands Ranch Parkway was nonexistent. Fields and cattle surrounded the small strip of Broadway between Plaza Drive and South Park. In 1986, there were only three neighborhoods and two office buildings, including one in which she started her financial firm. That firm, Kummer Financial Strategies, celebrates its 30th anniversary on Oct. 8. In those 30 years, Kummer has experienced the challenges of making her mark in a male-dominated industry. She’s had to adapt to the ever-changing technology. And she’s led her firm through three recessions. But most importantly, Kummer’s firm has grown alongside the Highlands Ranch community. “This is my home,” she said. “These people are my family.” Kummer, a certified public accountant, or CPA, and president of Kummer Financial Strategies, moved to Littleton from St. Louis in 1978. Soon after, she, her husband and their two sons settled in Highlands Ranch. “We wanted to move as soon as it was built to have that sense of community,” she said. Before becoming a CPA, Kummer managed a computer-supply company. She suggested that employees open up a 401(k) retirement plan and, soon after, she had lines of people outside her office door asking for advice. So she decided to become a CPA. The intensive process — which requires passing a test, getting a state license and knowing financial regulations — took about three years. She became certified in 1985. At the end of its first year in business,

Kummer Financial Strategies had about five clients. “It was frustrating at first,” she said. “I didn’t see a paycheck for years.” The 12-person financial planning firm now has about 450 clients and continues to thrive, Kummer said. As a CPA, Kummer provides financial planning to a client within his or her business, professional life and personal situation. A few areas she helps tackle include taxes, retirement, estate planning, elder-care expenses, insurance and inheritance. She’s had some of the same clients since her firm took off, she said. Some have referred their children to her. She sees all ages, from millennials to aging adults. “There are different phases in life,” she said, “and we help people prepare for those phases.” Cindy Murphy first met Kummer when she was in the life phase of caregiving for her parents. When Murphy’s mother and father — who were living in Florida at the time — became ill in 2004, she moved them into her Highlands Ranch home. Murphy needed guidance on her parent’s finances — her father was a retired doctor with some assets. He wasn’t bad with his money, she said, but he wasn’t good, either. So she connected with Kummer. “It was four years of tears because of the stress of my parents,” Murphy said. “For caregivers, it’s incredibly complicated but she got it — she understood.” A large part of Kummer’s job is to understand and navigate personal circumstances. Finances are an intimate topic, she said, and there is a lot of hand-holding involved. She sees clients at their best and worst moments — from losing a job to downsizing a home to planning for college. One thing is certain: “I know that I will always be in Highlands Ranch,” Kummer said. “And we will grow as it grows.”

Solutions to Santa Fe trafﬁc problems explored Interim Littleton city manager discusses Mineral intersection, other problem areas

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Littleton conducted its resident survey this spring, 48 percent of respondents listed traffic among the three most pressing concerns in the city, the most of any issue. Traffic was near the top of residents’ concerns in the 2012 and 2014 surveys as well. Interim City Manager Mark Relph, who is also Littleton’s public works director, said there may be some solutions to the city’s traffic woes. Relph, who says he has experience tackling traffic problems in his previous roles with Grand Junction and Shoreline, a Washington-state city near Seattle, was recently invited to participate in a “community conversation” hosted by the group Sunshine — a local-government watchdog — on traffic. One place that comes up in almost every conversation about traffic in Littleton is the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue. About 50,000 cars pass through the intersection on Santa Fe every day, and about half that many on Mineral, leaving long backups at the traffic signal. Relph said that the intersection would likely be graded as an “F” under Amercian Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials level of service standards, meaning frequent slowing. Growth that includes Sterling Ranch — a planned community in northwest Douglas County expected to house more than 30,000 residents in 20 years — and the potential development of property around the Mineral RTD station means traffic on both arterials is likely to increase. Relph said developer impact fees will not be adequate for offsetting the increase in traffic. Though Santa Fe is a state highway, Relph said the state can’t be looked to to solve the issue. “Nobody’s coming to the rescue,” he said. “CDOT is not going to come with a

Trafﬁc turns from northbound Santa Fe Drive onto westbound Mineral Avenue on a recent afternoon. The intersection, residents and city leaders say, is one of the biggest problem points when it comes to Littleton trafﬁc. Photo by Chris Rotar big bag of money and fix that intersection.” According to Relph, while the city would not be able to afford the kind of work needed to fix the intersection, federal grants could help. “We can solve that problem at Santa Fe and Mineral,” he said. “It takes a heck of a lot of dedication over time and a lot of partnerships.” Relph said the city would have to complete environmental reviews of the effect any work would have before applying for any grants. While smaller improvements to the area could include improving the intersections along Mineral to the west of Santa Fe to improve traffic flow, Relph

said that the ideal solution would be grade separation, with Santa Fe crossing over Mineral, much the way it does at Belleview. However, the train tracks could complicate that, he said. Carol Brzeczek, who helped gather the list of traffic concerns that Relph spoke about, said improving traffic flow on the west side of Mineral would be helpful across the board. “Any help on the west side should help the east side of Santa Fe,” said Brzeczek, a Littleton resident and a member of the Sunshine group. Other problem areas for traffic cited were the intersections of Santa Fe and Bowles Avenue and Mineral and Prince

Street, as well as several intersections near the Littleton Village development at Broadway and Dry Creek Road. Brzeczek’s biggest concern was Mineral and Prince, which she said could be helped by lengthening the turn lane for turning north on Prince. However, Relph says, future traffic improvements in Littleton will require the city to take funding maintenance of its infrastructure more seriously. For instance, he said that traffic signal progression could help alleviate some problems, but the city has outdated control systems. “I’m really concerned about the infrastructure,” Relph said.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce warns of new phone scam Callers claim to be EMTs in bid to get victims’ money Staff report Perpetrators are putting a new twist on an old scam, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office warns. During a new phone scam, residents are receiving phone call from a now disconnected number. The person on the other line indicates they are an EMT and the resident’s son was involved in an accident. The EMT hands the phone over

to another individual who requests a sum of money and is rather aggressive in their demand, officials said. “There is a level of extortion in that the caller will say someone is going to get hurt if the money isn’t produced,” said Jeffery Engel, of the sheriff’s office. “No money has been given, however, the citizens have been quite shaken.” The sheriff’s office gives the following tips for dealing with scammers: If a call such as an EMT scam are received, there is usually an associated telephone number. These are often fake numbers. Callers saying a son, daughter, signifi-

cant other, etc. has been involved in an accident will elicit an emotional response. Excuse yourself from the call and attempt contact with the significant other. You’re concerned with your loved one, not with the insurance process. If no contact is made with your loved one, call the number received back. Oftentimes the number will be disconnected or otherwise not in service — proof this was a scam. If contact is made, it’s now your turn to ask questions. It is suggested to ask the following questions: What is your name, agency, and identifier? Every fire agency or EMT will have a

name, agency, and specific identifier. Where is the location of the accident and the responding fire/rescue agencies? Oftentimes the scammers will not know the fire jurisdictions, giving wrong information, for example Denver Fire responding to an accident in Larkspur. What is the name and rank of the commanding officer on scene? What police agency is conducting the accident investigation? Why is an EMT concerned with a victim getting money? Isn’t an EMT’s concern about helping people and getting them medical care? Hang up.

Mall

Continued from Page 1

That isn’t the case anymore: The shopping center, one of the state’s most popular tourist destinations, has shaped what Lone Tree is today, city leaders say. Park Meadows Retail Resort, billing itself as a lifestyle center rather than a shopping mall, opened its doors on Aug. 30, 1996. Twenty years later, it has proved to be Lone Tree’s economic and community engine, largely responsible for spurring development of the city, both commercial and residential. Within its first year, Park Meadows opened 37 stores and restaurants new to the Denver metro area. It was home to more than $1 million in artwork commissioned from Colorado artists and boasted 66-foot-tall fireplaces, woodbeamed ceilings and comfy leather seating throughout its mountain-themed, elegantly-appointed two floors. The area surrounding Park Meadows became the focal point of business and discussion in the city, which had incorporated only a year before the mall’s opening with about 3,000 residents. Today, Lone Tree is a city of more than 13,000 people expected to grow to 31,000 residents by million – 2035. Meansquare feet of space while, Park occupied by Park Meadows has Meadows grown to more than 200 stores million— visits and restauto Park Meadows rants. Last each year year, it brought in nearly $11 – visits to million in sales Park Meadows each tax revenue for day the city. That accounted for – 47 percent of number of visitors Lone Tree’s to Park Meadows on total sales tax the Saturday before haul. Christmas “People are always asking Source: Park me about Park Meadows Meadows or telling me they were in Lone Tree at this store or that store or they had dinner somewhere near Park Meadows,” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said. “It’s really a gathering place for the community.” And without the benefit of the mall’s tax base, Lone Tree would be a totally different city, Van Ramhorst said. “It’s made Lone Tree what Lone Tree is today,” Van Ramshorst said. “It’s hard to understand why anyone could have opposed that.”

Engine for the business community Lone Tree was a small community of roughly a square mile when it was incorporated in 1995. Over the years, the city annexed surrounding property — including the mall in January 2007 — so that today the community covers 9.6 square miles, stretching from County Line Road in the north past RidgeGate Parkway nearly to Castle Pines in the south. The mall — which draws people from across Colorado as well as tourists visiting the metro area — created exposure Lone Tree didn’t previously have. “For a lot of folks, Park Meadows put Lone Tree on the map,” Millet said. “Our popularity in the early years was linked to the mall.” The partnership proved mutually beneficial. “It was the first major commercial development in the city of Lone Tree,” said city Economic Development Director Jeff Howell. Park Meadows now accounts for 1.5 million square feet of the city’s 3.6 million square feet of retail space and is the city’s largest source of sales tax revenue. “It has been a draw for investment in the area,” Howell said. “People appreciate it and proximity to Park Meadows is important for local businesses.” Lasinda Cranelli and her husband, Jim, own Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant at 10047 Park Meadows Drive, about two miles from the mall. She estimates that five or six of every 10 people who eat at their restaurant are

in the area because they were shopping at Park Meadows. “It brings people in — not just for us, but for all of the shops and restaurants in the area,” Cranelli said. “With its location off of I-25, people come from all over.” A recent survey by Visit Denver, a nonprofit group that markets the metro area, found Park Meadows to be one of the state’s top tourist destinations, ranking it eighth, a spot behind Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. “I come all the time to shop,” said Elizabeth Small of Denver, at Park Meadows on a recent day. “My friends and I come and have lunch almost every week. It’s a fun place to come hang out.” Friend Arielle Hornsby of Highlands Ranch agreed. The mall, she said, is the best place to shop locally because of its large selection. “They have all of my favorite places — you can find pretty much anything you’re looking for.” But Park Meadows’ economic impact also extends beyond the immediate shopping area, business leaders say. Bob Golden, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, points to the growth of the RidgeGate residential area in Lone Tree — about 3 1/2 miles from the mall along I-25 — and the surrounding areas near Parker as examples of the continued draw to the region. “Park Meadows was a magnet for business and growth 20 years ago,” Golden said, “and it still is today.” Evolving with the times Park Meadows opened with a commitment to be “experiential” and “experimental,” Schenck-Kelly said. “You might want a new shirt, but it’s unlikely that you need a new shirt,” she

Pamela Schenck-Kelly, Park Meadows general manager said. “Under those circumstances, the experience of shopping and having the kind of merchandise that people want has become more important than it even was 20 years ago.” The key to Park Meadows’ success over the years has been anticipating trends and reacting to them quickly, Schenck-Kelly said. “Twenty years ago, when we opened, if you could react to something in a 12- to 18-month period with what was happening on a trend, that was good. You would be able to ride that wave,” she said. “Ten years later, you needed to react in a six- to 12-month period. Five years after that, you had three months. Now, I swear we don’t even have three weeks.” When looking for new retailers, a certain amount of risk is involved. “Tesla, that was a risk,” Schenck-Kelly said. “ I can’t tell you how many people thought we were crazy for putting an electric car store in the shopping center. People would say to me: ‘How’s that going to work?’ ” Tesla was one of several new retailers to open in the past few years. Other recent additions include Lolli and Pops, an old-fashioned candy store, the outdoor clothing and equipment retailer L.L. Bean, and Wrangler, which sells jeans and Western wear. An Amazon store, which will sell its own tablets and reading devices, will open at Park Meadows in September. The future Continuing to evolve with the times will be key to Park Meadows’ success in the future, said Schenck-Kelly, who envisions Park Meadows also being a place where people can find things they simply can’t buy online.

They need the things to make their lives better, but I also think you are going to see nostalgia,” she said. “You’re going to see those things that people long for.” Fitness and health are also becoming increasingly popular, she said. “If I were going to predict anything, I would say that health, wellness and fitness will be an integral part of its own mall category,” Schenck-Kelly said. “It will be more than just a yoga pant. It will be things that come out of that type of lifestyle. You may have health coaching. People are going to be as passionate about their internal health as they are about their external appearance.” But regardless of how Park Meadows keeps people coming through its doors, city and community leaders say it will continue to be a major player in the growth and maturity of the city. “I see Park Meadows increasing in its value to the business and residential community in the years to come,” said Mary Martin, president of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “Its location could not be more ideal, with easy access off 470 and a wide variety of businesses and restaurants to enjoy. “It is,” she said, “a true destination, both for residents and for tourists.”

Ashleigh Wise and her father Corey speak about the Ambassadors of Compassion Leadership Program. Ashleigh completed the program while at Cimarron Middle School.

Program built on compassion, self-confidence Increased self-conﬁdence is beneﬁt of participation

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ashleigh Wise credits the Ambassadors of Compassion Leadership Program with bringing her a newfound confidence and making her feel more connected to her classmates. Wise is a 2016 graduate of the program at Cimarron Middle School in Parker. “Throughout the 13 weeks, I learned that I had more in common with the other students than I thought I did,” said Wise, now a freshman at Legend High School. “In my service project, our main goal was to inspire people and make them think positive, so we made a whole bunch of sticky notes with positive thoughts and sayings and put them all around the school. In the bathrooms, on the walls,

on doors, on books, and so when the kids came into school they saw it and it really made them happy.” The program has expanded, and it kicked off with a presentation at Castle Rock Middle School on Aug. 24. It will bring together seventh-grade students and adult mentors from the community to learn life skills and build self-confidence. The program aims to help students build “resiliency and the personal leadership skills to navigate and succeed through life’s inevitable challenges,” according to its website, aoclife.org. The program is designed to teach “the critical life principles that every person should know and incorporate into their life in order to reach their full potential.” Ashleigh Wise’s father, Corey, said he could see the effect the program had. “To see our daughter gain the confidence to get to know people and to take initiative and do something kind for others, I was impressed in how much she

gained confidence in who she was,” Corey Wise said. The 13 weeks of lessons will focus on RISE — responsibility, initiative, service and expectations — and include work with mentors, other students and a personal journal. In addition to Castle Rock Middle, the program will also be at Cimarron and Ranch View middle schools and Castle View High School. The leadership program is being used in schools in all 50 states, according to Dave Gamache, Ambassadors of Compassion development director. Jenny Clark, of Castle Rock, is one of the mentors for the program. She told students the mentors would be with them “every step of the way.” “We’re going to write in our journals. We’re going to share our thoughts and we’re so excited to be able to share it with you,” she said. “You’re extraordinary people and we want you to live out your dreams and be the very best you can be.

That makes our community better, our families better and it makes all of our lives better.” Garry Tedder, father of Ryan Tedder of pop rock band OneRepublic, is a supporter of the program and spoke to the students about his son’s journey in the music industry. “I don’t know what your definition of success is, but I describe it this way, the progressive realization of a worthwhile dream or goal,” said Tedder, of Colorado Springs. Former Olympic swimmer Chloe Sutton, who competed in the 2008 and 2012 games, spoke about overcoming challenges and goal setting, telling students to “create a road map to your dream.” “I guarantee things are not always going to go according to plan,” Sutton said. “They will rarely go exactly as you plan, and if you learn how to face that adversity with grace and confidence then you will be able to get through really anything that’s thrown at you.”

New roadway offers long-sought relief North Meadows Extension project is now complete By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Christine Nichols and Roger Felch aim to get on C-470 in Morrison by 6 a.m. every morning to drive to work at Castle View High School. At that hour, they can usually make the 40-mile drive from home to school in about 50 minutes, barring snow. On snowy days, they leave much earlier, sometimes before the district announces delays or cancellations. “Afternoons are always much slower,” Nichols said. “Usually a little over an hour, with congestion at Santa Fe and C-470.” That’s why the teachers — both of whom have been at Castle View for 10 years — have been eagerly awaiting the opening of the North Meadows Extension in Castle Rock. “It will cut off a good 10 to 15 minutes in the morning, and anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes in the afternoon,” Nichols said of their commute. The school district also plans on using the new road with up to five different buses daily, said Donna Grattino, direc-

now named Castle Rock Parkway/North Meadows Drive — is a new two-mile road connecting The Meadows to U.S. Highway 85 and Interstate 25. The project broke ground in October 2013 and is the Town of Castle Rock’s largest transportation project ever. The $85 million project is a public partnership among the town, Douglas County and the Colorado Department of Transportation. The three-year road project passed its final inspection Aug. 26 and was scheduled to open to the public before Sept. 1. The new road is expected to improve operations at the current Founders/

Meadows Parkway interchange with I-25 and the intersection of Meadows Parkway and U.S. 85. It will also provide a second northern access for residents on the west side of town. “The opening of Castle Rock Parkway and North Meadows has long been anticipated by Meadows residents,” said Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue, who lives in The Meadows. “The new interchange will alleviate much of the congestion residents experience during rush hour and on weekends around the outlet mall.” For the past three years, Castle Rock Town Council has designated the project the No. 1 transportation priority for the town. The original proposal was to build a road from The Meadows to U.S. 85 only. The project was expanded to include a connection to and new interchange with I-25, because Douglas County and CDOT were concerned about regional transportation issues. The U.S. 85 interchange is at Castlegate Drive, near the Outlets at Castle Rock and The Pines Apartments. Original plans included only the north ramps — a southbound off-ramp and a northbound on-ramp. However, to provide the most flexibility and access, the town secured funding to add the south ramps as well. With more growth anticipated, town council and the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners agreed in February to expand the portion between I-25 and U.S. 85 to four lanes. Other infrastructure has also been put in place for easier future expansions to the road, including lane widening and another bridge, said Bob Goebel, Castle Rock public works director. “We’re not only building a road for today’s traffic, but also thinking about what future needs are,” he said.

VOICES

LOCAL

Can we talk? No, really, can we talk? I am sure that this has never happened to you, but I know it has happened to me and at least a few other people that I know. What I am referring to is when an email or a text is misread, misinterpreted, or where tonality was added to the message where no tonality was intended. We all know what happens when these types of digital exchanges occur. People read something into the message and their feelings get hurt or they become angered and immediately the volley of texts and emails becomes terse and an unintentional consequence is the result. In some cases these communication exchanges have been so severe that they have strained or even ended friendships and have driven wedges between family members. Recently I found myself entangled in such a miscommunication web of frustration and turmoil. And with the very best of intent and frequent requests for a one-on-one call, the person who I was exchanging emails with just wanted to continue the battle of wits, words and wisdom via emails. The person I found myself in an unintended battle with is one of the nicest and sweetest people I have worked with for the past six years. So I went back and reread my initial email and all subsequent messages to see where she might have misunderstood my meaning or where something was lost in translation. Finding nothing in the trail of emails that I felt could have been misconstrued, I asked once again for a call. What I received was one more shot across the bow.

My request, “Can we talk?” apparently fell on a deaf keyboard. So I did the only thing I could, I called her. And we spoke. The outcome was far different and we were able to clear the air, accomplish the business task at hand, and preserve our friendship and Michael Norton working relationship. But how often is this WINNING happening? Too often. WORDS When I find myself in conversations with people around my age we frequently joke about what we did before mobile phones, devices and email. We went and visited our family and friends and we talked. Or we called them on the phone and shared the events of the day or the week. Either way, in person or over the telephone, as we spoke we could easily tell by their tone of voice if they were happy, sad, mad or hurt. And in any situation, most times nothing was lost in translation; it was actually abundantly clear. The digital age has created efficiencies and offers us access to information at our fingertips, and that is awesome. Unfortunately, it has also delivered that unintended consequence of relying upon and teaching us to communicate through an electronic platform

instead of person-to-person. Texts and emails have their place and do save us time. They are great for sending quick messages or requests or getting family updates in times of urgent and important matters. Using emoticons to send a quick “heart” or “flower” or happy face to a friend or loved one is great as an addition to showing our love, but it should never be used to replace that interpersonal connection and a live voice-to-voice or person-to-person conversation. Just imagine how wonderful you feel when you get that emoticon happy face or quick “I love you” or “just thinking about you” text. Now I ask you to think about and remember how much better it feels to actually receive a call from that same person who says, “Hey, I am running into a meeting, but before I do I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me and that I was thinking about you today.” Nothing lost in translation there. So how about you? Have you gotten into the habit of just relying on texts and emails to communicate or do you make it a point to have that personal interaction? Either way I would love to hear all about your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can talk instead of text, it really will be a better than good day.

Craig Marshall Smith

QUIET DESPERATION

I have a leaky roommate. That’s a discreet way of saying that my dachshund, 12, is urinating where he shouldn’t, like those Olympics swimmers. The vet tested him, I modified his diet, and we go for at least four walks a day when the weather is favorable to him, and that means no snow, rain, or even the ap-

proximation of a mist. If there is any of that, I will have something to clean up. The vet prescribed some pills, but they haven’t done much. The carpet has to go, but it would be foolish to make an expensive change like that in Smitty’s lifetime. The words “Smitty’s lifetime” are difficult to write. I have been on this street before. Maybe you have too. The simple beauty in the companionship of a dog makes the inevitable nearly impossible. I promised that I would not write a column when that time comes. You’ll know. If you haven’t been a caregiver late in a dog’s life, perhaps you have been with your mother or father. Or a grandparent. Hopefully not with a child, but there is that too. I have tried a number of things. I have done a lot of research, and that led to the changes in his diet. Someone recommended pads. You place them on the floor, and hope that your dog

Be smart when preparing for Medicare enrollment period For Medicare recipients, the time is fast approaching when you need to dust off and update your prescription list and evaluate whether your current coverage is still meeting your needs. The annual enrollment period for Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D (prescription drug) plans begin Oct. 15. This is a time when you can enroll, disenroll or change your coverage. Although new plan information for 2017 typically is not available until Oct. 1, start thinking about how well your coverage worked for you in 2016. For most people, changes you make from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 will be effective Jan. 1, 2017. Update your prescription list including name of medication, dosage and frequency. Talk to your doctor about your options. Do you need a brand name or will generic work as well for you? After you update your list (especially if not all of your medications are filled at the same pharmacy), talk to your pharmacist about possible duplications (more than one drug for the same purpose unintentionally being used together) or potentially harmful interactions between medications. Don’t forget to share a complete updated list with all of your doctors. It’s also a good idea to keep a current list in your wallet and give a copy to a spouse or other family member in case of an emergency. How you get your Medicare Part D prescription coverage depends on how you get your medical coverage. If you have original

Medicare, you get your prescription coverage by enrolling in a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan. If, however, you have a Medicare Advantage plan (or other Medicare managed care plan), you usually get your prescription Kimberly Latta coverage through plan, so you LIVING AND that won’t need a separate AGING WELL stand-alone prescription drug plan. Be advised that if you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and join a stand-alone Part D plan, you will be disenrolled from your Medicare Advantage plan and returned to original Medicare. If you are intentionally moving from a Medicare Advantage plan back to original Medicare, make sure you understand the consequences of doing so, as you may end up with substantial out-of-pocket costs. No matter if you get you prescriptions through a stand-alone plan or as part of a managed care plan, make sure that the plan will still be a good fit for you in 2017, as plan details and costs change from year to year.

In 2007, Schoedel gave in and promised her daughter she would accompany her on the next trip in 2009. But Yarberry — an EMT — was killed in a car accident on I-70 two months later. Schoedel did go to Honduras in 2009, but not for the reason she had once planned. She went for a dedication ceremony. The CURE International Hospital had named its children’s wing after Yarberry. In 2011, Schoedel took her first volunteer trip to Honduras. Everyone in her group, she said, had a story about her daughter. “She touched a lot of people’s lives,” said Schoedel, who recently retired as a learning specialist in Douglas County schools. After Yarberry’s death, Schoedel and her husband, Bob, started a nonprofit foundation called Becky’s Blessings to raise

Even if you don’t take any medications, don’t assume that the plan you have will still be the least expensive one next year.

aims for them. My dog and I are both humorists. I would find wet spots right next to the pads. Because of major back surgery, Smitty sometimes keeps right on walking while he urinates. The result is calligraphy. It’s both amusing and rather beautiful. And it can be lengthy. His record is 31 feet. I marked it with pebbles on the greenbelt sidewalk, and went back home and got a tape measure. By the time I returned, it had evaporated, so I don’t have any more evidence than my word, a little like the old man’s tale about his fish in “The Old Man and the Sea.” Smitty was adopted when he was 5, and I was already well into retirement. That meant that I could spend a lot of time with him.

And on Sept. 10, Becky’s Blessings is hosting its fifth annual “Run for One” 5K and 2K to raise money for CURE International. The fundraiser starts at 9 a.m. at Mountainview Community Christian Church, 40 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway at the Highlands Ranch Parkway and South Broadway intersection. The race is to remember Yarberry, spread awareness and raise money for CURE’s medical procedures, the Schoedels said. Yarberry, who was just shy of 28 at the time of the accident, had been taking trips with CURE International every two years since 2005. She aspired to be a physician’s assistant and had a love for babies. She came back from her first trip to Honduras a different person, Schoedel said. “She was happier — she found her purpose,” Schoedel said. CURE International formed in 1996 and

“Very needy,” they told me at the animal shelter. No kidding. They separate him at the animal lodge. He never learned how to play with his classmates. Like father like son. When he dampens the floor, he shows no signs of guilt. None. I think he just says, “Job done,” to himself, and moves on. At first it upset me. In fact, it angered me. He has a dog door, and he knows how to use it. He has a sufficient backyard. He’s not interested. Perhaps if I had a family or frequent gatherings, it would be a serious problem. I don’t. Otherwise, he is fine little German gentleman. Everything else he does contributes to a happier home. He doesn’t track in mud, for one thing, or drop dead rodents at my feet, chew on table legs, or swipe the remote. I am thankful that my leaky son and I have some good years ahead of us.

She made an appearance at her old stomping grounds for the Hometown Hero assembly, an effort to inspire kids to keep learning and never give up. “Whatever you want to be, if you can set your mind to it, it can happen,” Pugh said. “Believe in yourself throughout the process.”

CURE — which has about 1,500 employees worldwide serving in hospitals and clinics and 60 staff members in the U.S. — is entirely dependent on donations from individuals and organizations, said Paul Goldsmith, vice president of marketing. “The more folks who are aware,” he said, “the more we can heal.” About two weeks ago, the Schoedels volunteered with CURE International in Zambia, South Africa. They met many children with hydrocephalus — a condition of excess fluid in the brain that results in swelling of the head. They took thousands of photos on the trip to remember the experience and the patients. Schoedel said she loved rocking the babies — just as her daughter did. They carry on Yarberry’s legacy by helping others. “We still find out stories from people that knew her around the world,” Bob Schoedel said. “Wherever there was a need, she filled it.” For more on CURE International Visit www.cure.org.

Dogs bring comfort to patients Therapy animals brighten days in high-stress locations By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ob Carbone has owned four German shepherds, but he says something was different about Ziggy-Bob — he was gentler than the others from the beginning. “My wife said it would be a shame not to share him,” said Carbone, who lives in Elbert County. For more than seven years, Carbone and Ziggy have visited patients at Littleton Adventist Hospital. They are just one of 24 different owner/dog teams who make up the hospital’s therapy dog program. “People just love the animals,” said Catharine Bartley, the hospital’s volunteer services manager. Use of therapy dogs in hospitals began in New Jersey in the 1970s, according to Therapy Dogs International, under the guidance of registered nurse Elaine Smith. In addition to the Littleton Adventist program, its sister hospital in Castle Rock started a therapy dog program earlier this year. Valerie Ross, chief development officer of the Castle Rock Adventist Hospital Foundation, said the Angel Paws program has eight dogs. Parker Adventist hospital spokeswoman Rachel Robinson said the hospital is looking into starting a similar program. Patients and staff alike gushed over Ziggy as Carbone led him around the hospital and over to Mile High Oncology, where they visited cancer patients. “I’ve never seen this fail to bring

a smile to a person’s face,” said Jerry Mollendor of Centennial, who was accompanying his cousin, Jean Stark, on her appointment at Mile High. “I love animals,” Stark said. “I think most people do and I think it breaks up the stuff that’s going on around here.” Leaving the center for the day, Carbone talks about the smiles that spread across the faces of patients when they saw the 111-pound German Shepherd walk into the room. Doris Cruze said that a visit from a dog made a big difference for a relative of hers at Littleton Adventist recently. That dog was Gipper, a golden retriever, and he has been visiting the hospital for almost nine years alongside his owner, Jim Rudy, of Lone Tree. “I have so many stories of the wonderful people we’ve met,” Rudy said. Rudy’s adult children got Gipper for him as his own therapy dog while he was recovering from heart problems that nearly killed him. Gipper’s litter was training to be service dogs, but he had epilepsy and thus was unfit for that duty. He is Rudy’s third golden retriever. “I really love dogs, but Gipper is probably my closest one,” he said. When he found out about the program at Littleton Adventist, he applied to be part of it. He takes part in the program because it helps him bring joy to people who are facing tough situations, but he gets joy out of it as well. “It makes me feel so good,” he said. Rudy and Carbone tell similar stories about their experiences bringing their dogs to the hospital. They have

CRITERIA FOR THERAPY DOGS AT LITTLETON ADVENTIST While there are 24 owner/dog teams who visit patients at Littleton Adventist Hospital, becoming one isn’t easy, said Catharine Bartley, the hospital’s volunteer services manager.

Handlers must: • Be at least 21 years old

For starters, there is a waiting list just to be considered, due to the program’s popularity. In addition, dogs and owners alike must meet a few requirements.

Volunteers also must commit to visit at least twice per month. Bartley said the handler must pass a phone interview before being invited to the assessment.

Dogs must: • Be at least three years old

“They have to have a certain temperament to be in this program,” she said of the dogs.

• Complete a temperament approval test every year • Pass a veterinary exam and have up-todate vaccines

stories of sick children or terminal cancer patients who the nurses said cracked a smile for the first time in weeks upon seeing a dog in their hospital room. Bartley said the program has proven so popular that there is a waiting list for new teams. Zippy, Gipper and the rest of the dogs have to meet a set of criteria. They must be at least 3 years old. The owners are interviewed over the phone. They and their dogs then move onto an assessment that makes sure they can interact with patients and hospital staff. The dogs also must have a veterinary exam once a year. Once approved, the owners commit to visiting twice a month. “There’s a lot more to it than just getting a dog on a leash and walking through a hospital,” Rudy said.

• Pass a background check • Undergo hospital orientation

Bartley said that due the stringent requirements, the program has never had a behavioral incident.

IN MEMORY OF ZIGGY-BOB Ziggy-Bob, a German shepherd who spent seven years visiting patients at Littleton Adventist Hospital, died on Aug. 18 from a fast-spreading form of cancer, said his owner, Bob Carbone. Ziggy-Bob, Carbone’s fourth German shepherd, was 11 ½ years old. In addition to losing his beloved dog, Carbone is sad to no longer be able to volunteer in the hospital’s therapy dog program. Over the years, Ziggy-Bob and Carbone had visited countless patients. “I don’t know how many lives he touched,” Carbone said.

Seven musical days in London town When traveling, one of the easiest ways to bring a piece of home along is music. You can be in the most unfamiliar of places, surrounded by sounds, sights and smells that are all completely new, and still find familiar ground when your favorite song comes on. I learned this firsthand just a few weeks ago when I spent seven days exploring London, both with one of my best friends and on my own. Now, visiting a bustling metropolis like London isn’t the same thing as say, backpacking through the rain forests of Brazil, or wandering through the Himalayas. In London you’re perpetually around people, and by and large you’re seeing and hearing your own language. Still, there are times being lost in a sea of people, when you need to tune out the roar of the crowd to actually appreciate what’s around. One of the joys of my time across the pond was spending an afternoon getting lost between theold and new that defines so much of the city, while listening to some purposefully random music. I’ve discovered one of the best ways to provide myself with delightful surprises throughout the day is going with the shuffle option when pressing play on my

iPhone. This decision lead to some wonderfully soundtracked moments, like Bruce Springsteen’s “Streets of Fire” going along with afternoon tea, rapping along to Young Thug’s Clarke Reader chaotic yowls as I wandered through LINER Hatchard’s (LonNOTES don’s oldest bookstore), or missing someone special to Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic.” There’s something special about having British bands like The Who come up, and wondering if Pete Townshend walked the same alley you’ve stopped in. For the more social side of things, I found the adage of stopping to smell the roses good advice. Walking through the tube stations, the busy square or along the river, I stopped and listened to the street musicians there. Do so and you’re likely to hear songs you know, often with an interesting approach or flourish. My favorite music discovery the

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Frank Ocean’s “Blonde,” released on Boys Don’t Cry records. Review: Just like the man himself, “Blonde” deﬁes simple characterization. At times it’s avant garde R&B run through shoegaze aesthetics, but then it transforms into bedroom pop style hip-hop, which I didn’t even know was a thing. What it is throughout is the year’s loveliest and most contempla-

whole trip was Scarfes Bar, a little place in the Holborn neighborhood, designed like a library. It’s all dark woods, low lights, books everywhere, and most importantly, live music every night. Fittingly, the bands booked at Scarfes all take blues, soul and pop and drench them in the neon lights of jazz. Over the course of three separate visits, I saw the Nicola Emmanuel Trio bring an authentic take to jazz standards, the Nick and Kitty Duo injecting some playful swing into classics in jazz and the American songbook, and the Damien Flood Trio bring the house down with some killer covers. On my last night in London, the Damien Flood Trio provided the perfect

tive album. The whole thing feels like Ocean is whispering in your ear, and in that whisper, one can hear the inﬁnite. Favorite song (right now): “Ivy” Biggest gut punch turn of phrase: “I broke your heart last week/You’ll probably feel better by the weekend.” — From “Ivy”

score, covering favorite’s like Bob Marley’s “Waiting in Vain,” The Eagles’ “Desperado” and David Gray’s “Babylon.” It was hearing these well-loved songs performed in a new way that I was again reminded of the power of music. It can even make a place thousands of miles away feel like home. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week.

Scavenger hunt will return to Littleton History-themed event offers chance to win cash prizes

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Historic Littleton Inc.’s blue ribbonwinning entry in the Western Welcome Week Parade — with vintage vehicles filled with costumed characters — reminded parade viewers that the 2016 edition of the Historic Littleton Scavenger Hunt will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 10 in downtown Littleton. Town Hall Arts Center will again be headquarters, open at 10:30 a.m. for participants’ registration ($3 per ballot, as in 2015). Cash prizes will be checks for $350, $200, and three at $100, to be mailed to identified winners. (Bring ID with you.) Additional prize winners’ names will be drawn for awards provided by Downtown Littleton merchants. The hunt starts at 11 a.m. Ballots may be returned to Town Hall as soon as sleuths are finished with them. Families may then enjoy visiting downtown’s shops and restaurants until 3 p.m. Winners must be present at the drawing. Ballots will include a map of down-

town Littleton with 16 participating businesses; a small collection of photographs of architectural details to be identified; and clues to be solved by visiting 16 businesses recognized by signs on their doors. At these businesses, sleuths will find one of 16 historic photographs from the collection of the Littleton Museum. Each will have a letter on it and will relate to a clue on the ballot. The participant will mark the ballot with the letter identifying the clue. (The procedure will be explained when ballots are picked up.) Ballots are to be returned to Town Hall by or before 3 p.m., where they will be scanned for correctness. Correct ballots will go into a container and winners will be drawn and announced as soon as possible in Town Hall’s lobby. Dixieland jazz by Littleton’s Rootin’ Tootin’ Jazz Band will keep toes tapping while ballots are tallied. Some Downtown eating spots will have pictures of Town Hall for children to color in the week before the Scavenger Hunt day. They are copied from a Historic Littleton coloring book, originally printed by the Friends of the Library/Museum, that Historic Littleton Inc. will be republishing in the near future

The hunt starts at 11 a.m. Ballots may be returned to Town Hall as soon as sleuths are finished with them. Families may then enjoy visiting downtown’s shops and restaurants until 3 p.m. Winners must be present at the drawing.

Fairy tale coming to Lone Tree stage ‘Cinderella’ ballet displays skills of young dancers

IF YOU GO “Cinderella” will be performed at 6 p.m. on Sept. 3 and at noon and 5 p.m. on Sept. 4 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10025 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets cost $21 to $29 and can be purchased by calling 720509-1000 or at littletonyouthballet.org.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Set to Prokofiev’s lovely score, the much-loved tale of Cinderella and her Prince Charming will unfold on the mainstage at Lone Tree Arts Center on Sept. 3 and 4, as 60 dancers of the Littleton Youth Ballet, in association with the Littleton Ballet Academy, present “Cinderella.” The role of Cinderella is shared by three young dancers: 16-year-old Jenna Armstrong of Highlands Ranch, 16-year-old Alyssa Palazzo from Littleton and 15-yearold Madeline Ryner of Littleton. “The dancers all aspire to be professional dancers. The girls are very different in style and presentation as well as height. But being Cinderella is a dream come true for all of them and they graciously share the role,” said Alison Jaramillo, co-director of Littleton Ballet Academy.

Littleton Youth Ballet dancers in “Cinderella” prepare for some magic as the pumpkin becomes a beautiful carriage to take Cinderella to the ball to meet her prince — pulled by prancing horses instead of mice. Courtesy photo Jaramillo adds that “the Littleton Ballet Academy strives to present the most professional production possible. The company rents professional backdrops and also uses full sets, including a magnificent carriage that was previously used by Colorado Ballet. Dancers rehearse up to three times a week (with the youngest dancers only rehearsing once a week) in addition to their regular class schedule.”

Two guest artists will appear in the production. Colorado Ballet dancer Bryce Lee will reprise the role of the Prince and perennial favorite Scott Elliott will perform as the wicked Stepmother. Prokofiev wrote the music for “Cinderella” in 1940-44 and the ballet premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1945. There will be a meet-and-greet with the fairy-tale characters after every perfor-

mance so young audience members can see the ballerinas up close, Jaramillo added. The goal is to introduce young families to the arts in a friendly setting. A red carpet will greet young viewers outside the theater as a special welcome. Littleton Ballet Academy, in its new home at 1169 West Littleton Blvd., offers classes to students ranging from 18 months to adult. Ballet, pre-ballet, jazz, modern, tap, conditioning, physical theater and boys ballet are offered. The Littleton Youth Ballet Company is comprised of 70 young dancers who want to perform in the fulllength productions.

Form, function and funds Art for Horses show at PACE will beneﬁt equine charities By Tom Skelley tskelley@colorado communitymedia.com

Artist Jay Moore talks about his painting “Maternal Bond” at his Parker studio on Aug. 18. Moore painted the piece especially for the Art for Horses fundraiser at the PACE Center. Photo by Tom Skelley

IF YOU GO WHAT: “Art for Horses,” an exhibit featuring horse-themed artwork from more than 40 Colorado artists, as well as artists from around the United States and Canada. Proceeds from the show will beneﬁt Drifter’s Hearts of Hope and the Horse Protection League. WHERE: PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Avenue, Parker WHEN: Opening-night reception is 5:30 p.m. Sept. 15. Tickets are $100 and include dinner, drinks, the ﬁrst opportunity to purchase artwork, a silent auction and the chance to meet many of the artists. The public exhibit will run from Sept. 10 to Oct. 29.

Since 2010, Vicki Christensen has been combining her love of art and her love of horses, organizing an art exhibit to support equine charities. This September, the annual Art for Horses exhibit comes to Parker, and Christensen hopes to make a bigger impact for everyone involved. “We wanted something that would be a fantastic opportunity for the artists, for the beneficiaries and for the patrons,” Christensen said. “With each year it gets better.” The exhibit will run from Sept. 10 to Oct. 29 at the PACE Center. This year’s proceeds will go to the Horse Protection League, a Golden charity that rescues and nurtures horses to prepare them for adoption, and Drifter’s Hearts of Hope, an Elizabeth-based nonprofit that trains special needs children to work with horses rescued from the slaughterhouse. “I believe that people and horses have always had an

extremely strong connection, from centuries ago when people were painting them on walls and caves,” she said. “I think the art celebrates that connection.” Jay Moore, a Parker artist featured in the show, couldn’t agree more. “The horse is a beautiful combination of form and function; every artist knows that back to Leonardo da Vinci,” Moore said. “So to have the artists and the equine people come together makes a lot of sense.” Moore created his painting, “Maternal Bond,” specifically for the show. “I’ve done horses that were part of the subject matter,” he said. “But to really just make horses the focus was kind of a fun challenge.” Moore added that Parker is a great location for Art for Horses simply because so many people in the area have a connection to the animals. “I’ve lived here in Parker for 20 years, and the story was that there were more horses that lived here than people,” Moore said. “I think the fact that it’s an equine show is really smart.” Christensen said finding patrons that can afford to buy art featured in the shows has been a challenge in the past, but this year

she expects the show’s pricing to address that problem. Prices range from $200 to $3,000, giving most of Parker’s “horse people” an opportunity to increase their collection and help the charities involved. To that end, she also hopes the six-week show will have a strong opening, as more of that night’s sales will go directly to the charities. Artists keep 60 percent of the proceeds throughout the show, and the PACE Center will receive 20 percent, leaving the remaining 20 percent for expenses and the two nonprofits. On opening night, the PACE Center will forego its share. The combination of local charities, area artists and a central venue are all ideal, according to Christensen. “All of the pieces just fell into place,” she said. Erich Kirshner, a co-founder of Drifter’s Hearts of Hope, agreed. “We feel like we’re right in the middle of horse country here,” Kirshner said. “We feel like it’s an ideal place to be in terms of a horse rescue, and to have the PACE Center interested in hosting the fundraiser is just ideal … I’m certain that because of all of the pieces that are fitting together so well that we have a very bright future.”

New River Run gets juices flowing Recreational facilities offer good times in and near South Platte By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com About 125 invited guests gathered for the Aug. 25 official River Run Recreational Facility opening, while perhaps proof of the project’s success was the fact that there were dozens of children on the playground and dozens of enthusiasts surfing the South Platte River. The river amenities that made surfing possible drew a lot of attention. Garrett Dinnel came from Arvada to test his stand-up paddleboard in the whitewater created by one of the two chutes in the area. “This is just great and this kind of facility is long overdue,” he said as he waited his turn to go back into the whitewater. “This new facility is the latest amenity that is making the southwest area the place to go for fun adventure activities.” The Aug. 25 event culminated three years and a huge number of worker hours with the official opening ceremonies for River Run, the recreational facility located just north of Oxford Avenue along the banks and in the water of the South Platte River. “This is an amazing project,” said Dave Lee, Englewood open space manager. “It turned out even better than I expected. It has so many features I expect it will be very popular.” Nancy Doty, Arapahoe County commissioner, said during the River Run opening ceremonies the project is an example of great unified cooperation. She said the project became a reality through the efforts of the South Platte River Working Group. The group membership is made up of individuals representing Englewood, Sheridan, Littleton, Arapahoe

Children apparently like the facilities at the new nature-themed playground that is part of the River Run Recreational Facility. County, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and the Army Corps of Engineers. The group’s proposals are aimed at creating more recreational opportunities along the seven miles of the South Platte River that run through Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan. River Run is the first major project undertaken and includes a playground, pavilion, trailhead and restrooms set along the eastern bank of the river. Crews have transformed and beautified both banks of the river, and paved trails provide ADA access to the banks of the river, where the chutes create whitewater for tubers, boaters and surfers. Grants from Arapahoe County Open Space fund as well as money Englewood received from the open space fund and from lottery funds provided the roughly $800,000 needed to construct the trailhead. Another trailhead amenity was funded recently when Great Outdoors Colorado approved Sheri-

dan’s grant request for $350,000 to construct and equip the playground adjacent to the river. Bev Bradshaw, former Englewood mayor and member of the South Platte group, said the project was very beautiful. “It is a great project and a great amenity for the area,” she said. “We want to continue work on other projects along the Platte.” Other river amenity projects are planned or under construction. For example, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District applied for a Great Outdoors Colorado grant to construct a walking and running trail along the east bank of the river from Union to Oxford avenues. The estimated cost of the east-side trail is about $3.3 million. There are plans for bank enhancements along much of the seven-mile stretch as well as creation of a whitewater tubing and boating channel between West Union and West Oxford avenues. Smaller trailheads are planned at Union and Belleview avenues.

Official business proves challenging Colorado high school football games face a shortage of personnel in striped uniforms By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mark Usery started officiating high school football games in 1979 to earn

extra spending money when he was a student at Colorado State University. At that time, there were plenty of teachers, educators and young adults blowing whistles and throwing flags at Colorado high school football games. Times have changed, and now there is a shortage of officials to work the games. Reasons cited by those involved are a lack of interest among millennials, low pay, a rigorous time commitment

and high expectations. Usery, of Highlands Ranch, is still officiating, and he is the director of the Denver Football Officials Association. There are 16 area chapters of the Colorado Football Officials Association and Denver supplies officials for games in the geographical region framed by Castle Rock, Boulder, Limon and Gilpin County.

What is your favorite movie? “Dumb and Dumber” because I watched it growing up over and over with my family and it always makes me laugh.

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? Jessica Moore, pitcher for the Oregon Ducks. She was the first softball player I followed. Why do you participate in sports? I have a blast forming relationships with other girls, and it keeps me busy.

What is your favorite book? “Thirteen Reasons Why,” by Jay Asher. I read it this past summer. It is a great suspense novel. What are your plans for after high school graduation? I want to go to CSU to eventually join their OT program and become an occupational therapist. “Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area.

The players housed with host families for three nights and then six nights in student housing. The group played games against Japanese teams in Fukuoka, Japan, and visited cultural sites in the area, such as the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Jim Benton Memorial. OVERTIME Nine days were spent in Japan and since the return trip went through Hong Kong of the People’s Republic of China and the players spent three days visiting the attractions. “Our kids loved it,” McDougal said. “They really enjoyed the trip. It opened new cultures and new experiences.” McDougal hopes the respect the Japanese have for baseball sticks with the players for a while. Japanese players take off their caps and bow while talking to a coach and stand at attention during team meetings. If a Japanese player is walked during game, he lays down his bat instead of tossing it on his way to first base. “The dedication they have for baseball is incredible,” McDougal said. “The biggest thing was the culture of baseball and the respect they have for the game. “They work incredibly hard. The kids were saying, `We need to do this and that.’ ” Long way from home Senior setter Jasmine Schmidt has left her family to play volleyball this season at Chaparral. Schmidt’s family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, during the summer, but Jasmine, who will graduate early, came back to Colorado and is living with the family of teammate MaKenna Davis. “For sure I won’t stay past December, but will probably leave (for North Carolina) after the (volleyball) season,” said Schmidt, who plans to play at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida. Heating up the fall Legacy senior catcher Emily Taggart is off to a hot start to the softball season. In the Lightning’s first two games, she has gone 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and eight runs batted in. Legacy defeated Rock Canyon and Cherry Creek. ThunderRidge pitchers senior Emily Morris and junior Rachel Bean were exceptional in three opening wins. Morris allowed three hits, one run and struck of 10 on Aug. 24 in a five-inning win over Columbine and followed with a five-hit shutout over Grand Junction Central Aug. 27 when she fanned seven batters. Bean struck out five and was touched for only three hits in a 3-1 win over Fruita Monument Aug. 26. In Jefferson County 4A/5A golf after two rounds, Valor Christian and Lakewood have both charged out of the gates. Valor has four of the top eight golfers in average scores after tournaments at Deer Creek and Foothills in the 4A competition. Lakewood has three of the top six in the 5A tourneys at Deer Creek and Hyland Hills. Griffin Barela of Lakewood had a tworound average of 70.5 in the 5A tournaments followed by teammates Jack Castiglia at 74.5 and Grayden Wolfe at 75.5.

Valor aims to learn from tough test Arizona team defeats Eagles in nationally televised game By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman wants his team to be tested in non-league games. The Eagles, Colorado’s defending 5A state champion and top-ranked team in the CHSAA.com preseason poll, got a tough test in their season opener Aug. 27 against the Saguaro Sabercats in a game televised nationally in the ESPN Kickoff Classic. Saguaro, a team from Scottsdale, Arizona, that has won eight of the past 10 state titles, put on an impressive first-half showing and rolled to a 49-28 victory over the host Eagles. “We could schedule easier teams but we don’t do that,” Sherman said. “Playing the schedule we do will make us better. Adversity is something you must face to get better. I expect us to come back with renewed energy.” Key moments Saguaro scored on all five its first half possessions in grabbing a 35-14 halftime lead, but Valor tackled better in the second half and played better defense. The Eagles had all the momentum going their way. Valor pulled to within 35-21 and had the Sabercats backed up on their own 6-yard line after a Saguaro penalty to start the fourth quarter, but a roughing-the passer-infraction gave the visitors a first down. The Sabercats then completed an 89-yard scoring march to grab a threetouchdown advantage with 7:33 to play in the game. “We got a break,” Saguaro coach Jason Mohns said. “Valor let us off the hook with the roughing the passer.”

Valor Christian’s Noah Kuzma gets wrapped up by a Saguaro defender Aug. 27. Photo by Paul DiSalvo Key players/statistics The teams combined for 906 yards of total offense. Valor senior quarterback Dylan McCaffrey completed 18-of-24 passes for 205 yards, scored on an 11-yard run and caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Blake Stenstrom. He was the Eagles’ leading rusher with 58 yards on 13 carries. McCaffrey’s younger brother, sophomore Luke, did a little bit of everything.

He completed a pass for 21 yards, rushed four times for 32 yards, caught two passes for 13 yards, averaged 21 yards on two kickoff returns and made three tackles from his safety position. Mitch Howell was in on seven total tackles while defensive end Ben Kozan made six unassisted tackles for the Eagles, who held Saguaro to 105 yards in the second half after surrendering 385 in the first two quarters.

Saguaro junior quarterback Max Massingale connected on 10 of 11 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns. He ran 16 times for 178 yards and two more scores. Stone Mathews finished with 144 yards rushing and three TDs. They said it “We played terrible in the first half,” Valor continues on Page 31

Rock Canyon lacks stamina in opening loss Legacy collects 15 hits in 12-2 win over Jaguars By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon’s softball team is trying to get its stamina back and that could take a few more games. The Jaguars opened the season Aug. 24 at home but suffered a 12-2 nonleague loss to Legacy that ended after five innings. “I have a lot of girls who had some injuries over the summer so they didn’t play as much,” said Rock Canyon coach Debora Kortbawi. “They are coming back from not playing a lot of summer ball. We’re missing like 60 or 100 games for a lot of these girls. “Our third baseman is coming back from an ACL tear, our pitcher had some shoulder issues so she didn’t pitch much over the summer, our shortstop had knee problems and didn’t play much. We’re trying to get that game stamina back. It takes a little more than just the two weeks we’ve had them to work on it. You’ve got to get into game situations to build that game energy and work the mental aspect.” Key moments Legacy collected eight of its 15 hits in the fourth inning and scored eight runs to expand a 3-1 lead into an 11-1 advantage. Key players/statistics Lightning senior catcher Emily Taggert belted a two-run homer, a two-run double and an RBI single in going 3-for3 with five runs batted in. Sophomore Lauren Strathearan had three hits in four at-bats, including a double and triple, and sophomore pitcher Isabella Kelly allowed just one run and three hits in four innings.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 29, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The typically tidy Ram or Ewe might want to butt out until things are settled on the home front. But get involved and let your Ovine sense of order help restore domestic tranquility. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s flair for fine-tuning complicated fiscal dealings comes in handy when an unexpected financial problem arises. Stay with it until it’s resolved to your satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family aspects remain strong. There might be some unresolved difficulties, but continued attempts to smooth things over eventually prove to be successful. A major purchase looms. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A promise that was made but never kept suddenly re-emerges in your life. You now have to decide if you’re still interested in what it offers or if you’ve moved past it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Romance comes to unattached Leos and Leonas who have been waiting for Cupid to target them for far too long. Domestic purr-fection is also enhanced for paired Felines. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You need to take a much-needed break from that demanding project before too much energy-draining tension sets in. And don’t be ashamed to ask for help.

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) Change makes demands that you might find unwelcome at this time. But instead of concentrating on the short run, look toward potential benefits down the road. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You have a gift for reviving projects that seem beyond repair. Use that same ability to restore a relationship that seems to have turned from loving to lifeless. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Expect to be asked to use your combined wisdom and humor to resolve a problem. After all, folks not only value your advice, they also like how you give it.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Most people consider you solid and steady. But you also can be quite capricious (which is a Latin word for “describing the behavior of Goats”) when it suits your needs. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) People treat you as you wish to be treated. So if you want a change in your relationship, make it happen. Also expect someone to reveal some long-held secrets. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay with the decision you made, despite a sudden torrent of advice to the contrary from well-meaning people. Remember: You know your needs better than anyone. BORN THIS WEEK: You like things tidy, with no loose ends. You also enjoy research and would make an excellent investigative reporter or scientist. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
