Plans for leaf bridge move forward
One council member outvoted in quest to gather more input By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A pedestrian bridge with an 85-foottall metal leaf sculpture likely will become part of Lone Tree’s skyline by late 2016. Though City Council member Kim Monson wanted to delay approval of the project another month, the rest of the council voted June 16 to approve the $6.8 million span over Lincoln Avenue. The bridge would extend over Lin-
coln at Heritage Hills Circle, west of the Charles Schwab corporate campus and Bank of the West. It would connect to the Willow Creek Trail, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to get from city amenities like RidgeGate’s Lone Tree Arts Center and the under-construction Lone Tree Library to north-side gathering places like the Cook Creek Pool and Entertainment District. “This will really create a north-south trail through the entire city,” said John Cotten, public works director. “We (already) have east-west trials. It gives us sort of the grid system we like to create in streets.” Bridge continues on Page 9

The new citizens recited the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the national anthem. Some glanced at a placard with the lyrics, excited to participate in the song. Here’s a glimpse into the stories of three people who became citizens on June 8: • Madhu Kumar, a wife and mother of two, said she feels like her naturalization has opened a lot of doors. Originally from India, she married her husband, Sunil, who was studying for his doctorate in ecology at Colorado State University. The two had son Ayush, 8, and daughter Anika, 5, in the U.S. so they’d be American citizens. Kumar said she’s excited to be able to hold a government job, since it was impossible on a green card. “We’ve struggled a lot in the last 11 years, but now I’m really happy I know my children get to grow up here,” she said. “My husband and I both had a very different childhood in India and here, our children are going to have real access to learning every day. I’m hoping for a better future and to give back to the U.S. and country we come from. My heart is in both places.” • Camila Mitchell, who’s originally from Brazil and now resides in Denver with her husband and infant daughter, said it’s taken her since 2009 to formally become an American citizen. Everything had a time frame. Mitchell came to the U.S. on a visa while engaged to her husband, Charlie, and then obtained a green card for two years. But it wasn’t easy. So many things got messed up in the process, she said. “I know things are going to be much
A preliminary design for a new Lone Tree park shows a quarter-mile trail, open playing field and a potential site for a playground or picnic shelters. The city of Lone Tree will host a public meeting on the proposed park — which would be located at the intersection of Kimmer and Park Meadows drives — at 7 p.m. June 25 at the Lone Tree Civic Center, 8527 Lone Tree Parkway. The idea to spruce up the 7-acre, South Suburban Parks and Recreation-owned area near the Entertainment District is tied to the city’s long-held plans to redesign the commercial area. But South Suburban planner Chad Giron said the site cannot accommodate a wide range of uses because it is too small and is restricted by a detention pond. The amphitheater sketched there in a 2013 vision book of the Entertainment District area isn’t possible, he said. The detention pond could be used as a “non-programmable turf field,” Giron said. That means it would be maintained as an informal play area, but not used for scheduled games or league play. An existing trail that extends from Park Meadows Drive along the detention pond would be upgraded, and Giron suggested building a loop trail around the pond. Though the site has room for a small playground along Park Meadows Drive, Giron said it’s not ideal because of heavy traffic. The city also plans to extend Kimmer Drive into the Entertainment District, making the now three-way intersection a four-way intersection with a traffic signal. That also will increase traffic in the area. Instead of a playground, Giron suggested creating a gathering place with a shelter and benches. Council members had mixed reactions to the preliminary plan. “It is a little disappointing,” said Susan Squyer. “We see that big open space and think we want to use it all.” Mayor Jim Gunning said a simple park is still a major improvement. “Aesthetically, it just creates a much better look for Park Meadows Drive,” he said. “For me, it’s just kind of a big eyesore (now). We have two more apartment complexes coming in on that street, and quite a bit of office

New citizens embrace opportunity Naturalization rites held in Centennial By Taryn Walker
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com Bridgette Yeboah-Spaun had no idea she would fall in love with someone in the United States when she came here from Ghana to study nursing, she said. Four years later, she was elated to take pictures with her husband, Ben, shortly after becoming a U.S. citizen. She was among 50 immigrants to be naturalized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Centennial on June 8. Yeboah-Spaun recently earned her master’s degree in nursing from Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts. Now that she’s working as a nurse practitioner, she has goals of going back to Ghana and building a free clinic for her home village. “This has all been a long journey, but becoming an American citizen is just an extra bonus for me,” she said. “It’s really exciting and unbelievable at the same time. Now I have the opportunity to give and reach out more with my work.” Twenty-nine countries were represented at the ceremony, and for many it was on to the next step — registering to vote and applying for a U.S. passport. The room was filled with the new citizens and their friends and family, plus U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora), members of the Columbine Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution and television crews, among others.
Newly naturalized American citizen Madhu Kumar smiles as she poses for a photo with her husband Sunil and children Anika, left, and Ayush The ceremony was chosen for June, as it marks Immigration Heritage Month. It all started with a video titled “Faces of America” and a welcoming from Coffman, who represents the 6th Congressional District. “We welcome you to this country. God bless your families and the state of Colorado,” he said. Next, it was time for the immigrants to read the oath of allegiance with their right hands raised. A couple minutes later, it was done. The months — and, for some, years — of hard work to obtain their citizenship were over.

Graffiti leaves a mark Warm weather brings rise in vandalism at parks, trails
(graffiti),” he said. “The graffiti doesn’t even make sense; a lot of times it’s profanity, (obscene) drawings or just scribbles. We try to clean it up within a day or as fast as possible.”
By Taryn Walker
Keeping an eye out
twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com In less than 10 years, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District has seen more than 1,200 incidents of graffiti at its parks, trails and facilities, racking up $301,145 in damage. It’s a difficult problem to tackle and one that isn’t going away, said Dan Scheuerman, senior park ranger for South Suburban. “About 95 percent of this is just stupid stuff done by kids,” Scheuerman said. “I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing, but people have been doing this forever.” With summer’s warmer weather and longer days, incidents of graffiti are likely to rise, Scheuerman said. Highlands Ranch Metro District park ranger Kat Wentworth said she sees some sort of graffiti just about every other day. In the last year, she and her full-time staff of four have had to report at least 100 incidents to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
Cleaning up
Scheuerman has created a formula to determine the cost of graffiti removal, which sometimes has to be done on monument signs that cost $2,000. “It depends on the surface,” he said. “If it’s paintable, it’s 50 cents a square foot, if it’s worse, it can be up to $5 a square foot.” Often, a chemical application has to be used or a high-pressure power washer is needed, and with limited resources, it’s not easy, Scheuerman said. Metro district park rangers carry graffiti-removal packs in their trucks every day and have been trained to use a pressure washer, sandblaster and paint-removal chemicals, Wentworth said. “Our goal is to remove it immediately and not publicize it, because that’s what they want and we’re not going to let them win in the end,” she said. Playground equipment requires chemical use, and because of its porous texture, new paint won’t adhere. Eventually the property that’s damaged will have to be removed and replaced, costing thousands. A new playground normally costs upward of $50,000 in equipment alone, Scheuerman said. “Mothers with little kids don’t want to be subjected to
South Suburban encompasses 41 square miles in Lone Tree, west Centennial, Sheridan, Littleton and other nearby communities. Although no areas are immune, the Sheridan Skate Park is hit the most, Scheuerman said. However, the installation of three security cameras has made a big impact, he said. “It’s been curtailing,” he said. “There used to be a point in time where you counted on getting tagged there, and now it’s different. But, a lot of times they (cameras) break. I put replacements up. People shake them or even shoot them with a BB gun, so we put them up higher. They’re worth $8,000 each, so all we can really do is move them around.” Vandalism can take as little as 10 seconds using spray paint, markers or a pocketknife, adding to the difficulty of prevention. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ron Hanavan said the community plays a big role in keeping graffiti at bay. “The best thing we can do is to really rely heavily on the public,” he said. “Our philosophy in law is that we’re a part of the community and they are a part of us. We appreciate it when the community has eyes and ears and calls us if anyone sees something suspicious.” Castle Rock recently had an incident in which public outreach helped the police department catch suspected vandals. A total of 14 sites were tagged, inflicting $1,000 in property damage. A group of parents recognized their kids spray-painting a local park in surveillance video and immediately alerted the Castle Rock Police Department. “Caring for our town is a community effort,” said Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley. “We appreciate everyone who shared the videos, and we especially thank the parents who did the right thing, even though it was difficult.” Three suspects ages 14-17 are now awaiting a court date with possible charges of criminal mischief and trespass.
Crime and punishment
Hanavan said it’s hard to pinpoint what consequences vandals will have to face. It depends on whether they’re

Typically the person is charged with the crime, whether it be a felony or misdemeanor, and then, if convicted, ends up having to pay restitution for the cleanup of the public property. Sometimes juveniles may qualify for diversion and not have to go through court proceedings. Sometimes gang-related graffiti is suspected and forwarded to the investigation division, Hanavan said. The sheriff’s office doesn’t specifically keep track of graffiti incidents, as they’re put in the same category as criminal mischief, which includes things like breaking windows, Hanavan said. “It’s kind of the catch-all law for damaging anyone else’s property, and those numbers are high,” he said. “There’s no short answer to how we handle this, because it may very well be that we catch a suspect, and that suspect has actually vandalized 15 different places on top of what we caught him for.”

School officials explore meaning of survey TELL information offers good news, bad news By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District crunched some of the numbers on the 2015 state teachers’ survey, concluding there’s plenty of encouraging news, but
some areas that merit further study. The Teaching, Empowering, Leading & Learning, or TELL, survey is given every two years by the New Teacher Center. The questions to which Douglas County teachers gave the most negative response revolved around their evaluations. DCSD implemented a new, much more detailed evaluation process in 2012. About 70 percent of Douglas County teachers who responded don’t think the
process accurately identifies their effectiveness. About 60 percent don’t think the teacher evaluation process improves teachers’ instructional strategies. The evaluations scored more favorably on the survey in 2013 and 2011. For instance, in 2015, about 44 percent don’t think the evaluations are fair; in 2011, 13 percent felt they were unfair. Concerns about evaluations are re-

Goats take a bite out of fire danger The animals spent four days in a Castle Pines neighborhood By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com For four days, 275 goats made the Pine Ridge neighborhood of Castle Pines home. They hoofed, grazed and drank in the backyards of homes, drawing onlookers. “Everybody loves it. The kids are watching them,” said Arlene Armata, a Pine Ridge resident. “A woman who I’m friends with brought her 4- and 6-year-olds, and they were fascinated by it.” The herd was part of a new firemitigation strategy by the Pine Ridge Homeowners Association. Wildfires nearly reached the neighborhood in 2002. Since then, mitigation has been a priority for residents. The Pine Ridge HOA brought in a traditional fire-mitigation service that used heavy machinery in 2013, but the results weren’t what they had hoped for. “They couldn’t go everywhere. There’s 22 acres here and a lot of it is steep, especially in the back. The ma-

The weeds go back in the soil.” During a recent wildfire-protection seminar someone mentioned that goats could be used as an alternative, and Pine Ridge decided to give it a try. “In this case, we’re doing fire fuel mitigation so here went to take down the understory and remove all the fuel for the fire, so we’ll leave them in there a longer period of time to try and get most of the vegetation,” said Donnie Benz, one of the owners of Wyoming based Goat Green. The goats were fenced in on the 22-
acre property with an electric fence for the needed four days, where they ate the weeds and left the grass behind. Goats also offer an alternative to pesticide use. These goats took on a similar project in Roxborough last year and have done work throughout the Denver metro area. They also work on commercial properties. “The goats’ preference is to eat the weeds before the grass, so you’ll leave them in until they eat the seeds and weeds and then we’ll pull them out,” Benz said. “They never stop working. We say they irrigate and fertilize too, because they go to the bathroom.”

Car show revs up crowd By Taryn Walker

About 3,500 people crowded around 149 classic, collectible vehicles at the Highlands Ranch Community Association-sponsored Classic Car Show on June 20. Cars from all over the map were on display in the Cherry Hills Community Church south parking lot for several hours that Saturday. At noon, engines roared. “Every year at noon, we have a rev-off, where anyone who wants to participate can rev up their engines for the crowd,” said Jamie Noebel, HRCA community rela-
tions manager. “Some people come specifically to hear that.” The event was a showcase sponsored by the HRCA’s Culture Affairs Association with help from Highlands Ranch Hot Rodders. Noebel said the event wasn’t held for fundraising purposes, but that it will generate some money for the Cultural Affairs Association’s overall budget. “We’re kind of a well-known show in the south metro area. Every year we see a good handful of cars that we haven’t seen before, which makes for more of a variety for all of our attendees. The show brings in a different kind of demographic, and we love that,” Noebel said.

I’d like to see more data,” he said. Low marks on the evaluations aside, Douglas County teachers gave positive responses to most questions, including community support, their effectiveness as leaders, high professional standards to which they’re held, and the sense that their individual schools are good places to work and learn. Board member Meghann Silverthorn pointed out that teachers rate instructional practices high. Those include the ability to make instructional decisions and encouragement to try new things to improve instruction. Most also said the curriculum meets the students’ needs. “Statewide, the evaluation process is a conversation,” Silverthorn said. “People don’t necessarily believe it’s effective. When you delve into the rest of it, people feel good about the actual instructional
practices, things they’re doing within the buildings. So what steps might the district consider taking in terms of tying that together?” Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said the current evaluations are dramatically different from those of the past. “It’s a lot more time-consuming and rigorous than the instrument of the past. There’s no question about that,” she said. “It’s a lot more work, frankly, to have highquality evaluation and feedback systems. I think, statewide, teachers are feeling it’s been a burden. “We understand this is a learning curve. I think we’re really starting to get some momentum and understanding on it now we maybe didn’t have initially. We think this is our core function — to coach and support great teachers, so … we’re dedicated to doing it well (and) continuously improving it.” Reynolds said the district is monitoring the process and teachers’ response. “We have different opportunities to gather information and evidence; this is just one piece of the puzzle,” he said.

Looking for local ‘Faces Never Forgotten’ Woman seeks photos to match with names on Vietnam memorial
SEEKING HELP Janna Hoehn still needs photos of the following veterans from Arapahoe and Douglas counties:
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The random choice of one man’s name led Janna Hoehn on a journey to find thousands more. Gregory John Crossman. He was born on Aug. 9, 1941, and lived in Sturgis, Michigan. He was just 25 years old when he went missing on April 25, 1968, somewhere in Vietnam. He’s never been found. But his picture eventually was. Hoehn doesn’t know what drew her to his name on panel 52E, row 4 of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial while on vacation in Washington, D.C. She didn’t personally know anyone who was lost in that war, but it had raged on when she was in high school, and she wanted an etching to take home with her. “When I returned home, I decided to research Gregory and try to find his family,” she remembered. “In the event they were

never able to go to the wall, I would send them the etching, hoping they would share a photo with me of Gregory.” It took a while, but she finally found a college photo of him. Shortly thereafter, she heard about the “Faces Never Forgotten” project, which is working to find a photo of every single one of the 58,300 soldiers listed
on the memorial. Counting the one Hoehn sent of Crossman, they’ve collected some 40,000 so far. But Hoehn didn’t stop at just one. She first set out to find all 42 names from Maui, where she lives. That took about six months. Then she moved on to her where she grew up, in Hemet and San Jacinto, Calif., and found all
five from that area. Then she just kept going. “The response has been amazing,” she said. “I have collected over 1,300 photos since May 2013. With your help it will be more. … Putting a face with a name changes the whole dynamic of the wall. It keeps our fallen heroes’ memories alive and will honor them. Our heroes’ stories and sacrifice will never be forgotten.” Now she needs help from Colorado Community Media readers. She’s looking for 10 names from Arapahoe County and seven from Douglas County. Even just the name of the schools the person attended can help, she says, and any bit of information somebody might have can’t hurt. Once found, all the photos will be submitted to the “Wall of Faces” online memorial with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, as well as to the planned Education Center that is expected to be built adjacent to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. To submit a photo or for more information, email Hoehn at neverforgotten2014@ gmail.com. To see photos of lost and fallen soldiers that have already been collected, visit www.vvmf.org.

Sensory-friendly shows are goal of summit
Accommodations open world of performance to more viewers By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com “We have representatives from over 50 organizations from 20 communities,” said Lisa Rigsby Peterson happily as she opened the first area Sensory Summit on June 16 at Lone Tree Arts Center. “Let’s make Denver the most sensory-friendly city in America.” Among those present: Hudson Gardens, Denver Zoo, Mizel Arts Center, Denver Art Museum, Lakewood Cultural Center, Strings Music Festival, Colorado Symphony, Phamaly, Denver Center for Performing Arts, Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation, Community College of Aurora, Rialto Theater, Denver Botanic Gardens, Opera Colorado, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Douglas County Libraries, Starz Film Center and more. The meeting was designed to form a network in the area that could support each
other in making arts available to children and adults who needed a little special planning to make a performance or location comfortable. “It’s not that hard,” said co-chairman Bryce Alexander of Phamaly. He and Peterson mentioned several adjustments: Leave house lights on. Anticipate and soften triggers — sudden noises, flashing lights, loud music. Have a quiet place outside the auditorium that people can use. Give permission in advance to move around if they need to. “It’s not just for youth,” Alexander added. “Those people grow up.” (There will be a sensory-friendly performance of Phamaly’s “Cabaret,” which is not a suitable production for young children.) “Re-envision people of disability and give them a chance to focus on the productions you already have.” Barb Komdat of Developmental Pathways spoke of “community-centered boards formed over 50 years ago to keep people out of institutions …” She has helped Lone Tree Arts Center to bring in sensory-friendly programs. Sarah Metsch of the Autism Society spoke of tough experiences she had as a child and said she offers an “Autism 101” program to organizations. Alexander in-
vited her to help make Phamaly programs sensory-friendly. She is going to work with Denver Botanic Gardens in September. She invited the audience to check out the group’s “opening doors program.” Dr. Lucy Miller of the Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation (formed in 1972) spoke about children she helps and comfortable activities. Libraries are quiet. If creating visual arts, make it possible to keep their fingers clean, watch response to movement. They must feel secure. “Consult a sensory therapist when running a sensory-friendly event,” she said. The keynote speaker was Benjamin Endsley Klein, associate director of the 2015 Tony Award-winning “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” recent winner of several Tony Awards. Its central character is Christopher Boone. While his disorder is not specified, he shares the qualities of people on the autism spectrum, Klein said. At a sensory-friendly performance in New York, underwritten so tickets were $25, the audience was invited to discuss what was going on. Black walls and floor were devised to reflect the inside of Christopher’s head. Lighting and projections were adapted. Audience members were supplied with
stress balls to squeeze when tense. Their response was “powerful to see” and the actors were moved and want to repeat. “We’re hoping to do so when we’re on tour,” Klein said. For one third of the audience, it was the first show shared as a family and 91 percent hoped for more opportunities. The attendees moved into breakout groups, then reconvened for summaries. Questions included: What to do about opera since it’s loud by nature? How to prepare front of house staff? How many sensoryfriendly performances to stage? How to get underwriting for ticket prices? How early to announce? Douglas County librarians told of their enhanced story hour twice weekly at James Larue Highlands Ranch Library, with trained volunteers. Alexander said presenters were more anxious than anyone else. “There’s no blueprint that’s perfect since the spectrum is so broad … There will be unexpected occurrences.” Outcomes? Create a sensory-friendly Denver and on across the nation. Attendees were asked to sign up to be included in a sensory-friendly network as they left.

Change is inevitable, and that doesn’t help As Balzac said, “There goes another novel.” I am torn and Tattered. My favorite bookstore moved to Aspen Grove. Believe me, I am in mourning. Aspen Grove is on South Santa Fe Drive, which is Denver’s version of the Santa Monica Freeway. I try my best not to take Santa Fe. Now what do I do? I know I’ll go to the new Tattered Cover about half as often as I went to the one that was in Highlands Ranch. Maybe less than half of half as often. So then over lunch my best friend tells me that he will be the new dean of the College of Visual Arts and Design at the University of North Texas. The University of North Texas is in Denton. How often to you think I will get to Denton, Texas, in, oh, the next 10 years? But I couldn’t be happier for him. He has been the chairman of the art department at a local university for the past 15 years, through upper-administration changes, budget limitations and the metamorphosis of the school’s identity While chairing at one university, he received an elite MBA at another one. On behalf of his university, and the department’s art students, he traveled all over the place, in the United States, England, Italy, China, Cuba, places I have only seen in newsreels. So my British friend, who is brilliant, really,
when it comes to art administration, and brilliant when it comes to friendship, is leaving town. Aspen Grove isn’t as far away as Denton, but it will discourage me anyhow, mostly because of the energy it takes to drive anywhere. Craig Marshall Smith Drivers drive who don’t know how to QUIET DESPERATION drive. I know the sum of this: I will order books online, and I will have about 12 fewer lunches out each year. No one died, but losses can be major even if they are minor. I guess if I were more of a Buddhist I would see my bookstore’s move and my best friend’s departure to mean something profound, like “other doors will open.” It just doesn’t feel that way right now. My gyroscope is off. Right after I found out about the Tattered Cover, I went to a grocery store and spoke to the Brussels sprouts. I can’t stand Brussels sprouts. When I was growing up, it seemed like we moved about every 48 hours. I went to four different schools in four years. Dad said, “Pack your bags” all the time, and I
got used to it. I kept moving from place to place myself, in college and after that when I was hired to teach in three different states. But it got old. And now that I am older, I would rather that good things not change. They do though, don’t they? Continuity is more important to me now than it once was. But there are always Wiffle curves. Friends and family members move or die. Businesses move or die too. Nine Denver-area Safeways are closing. My favorite television program’s host retired. I haven’t watched a late-night talk show since Letterman left, and I don’t think I will anytime soon. I caught a few minutes of something one night, and the band looked like Earth, Wind & Fire. Some changes are predetermined. Obama will be gone in a year and a half. Anticipated changes are one thing. Yanking my bookstore was not. My best friend’s departure was inevitable. I knew that he was actively pursuing other opportunities, and that he would obtain one. Leave it to Lao Tzu: “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Can’t find right way while looking wrong way While working in Houston last week I found myself breaking one of my own rules: I caught myself looking down instead of up. I was visiting a client, and their building was located in a beautiful part of town and part of a very large corporate and retail complex. As I arrived early I had the taxi driver drop me off at the Westin hotel, which was right in the complex, so that I could take a call and work from their lobby before going to my meeting. When I left the hotel and walked to the building where I would meet with my clients, I became turned around and ended up walking in circles trying to find the right entrance where my meetings were being held. And by the time I was ready to leave at the end of the day I had completely lost my sense of direction as my internal GPS experienced a malfunction. Again, I was walking around with my head down and looking at the offices and storefronts trying to get my bearings. The result was that I once again traveled in a circle, ending up right where I started. As I lifted my head and my eyes toward the sky, I saw the giant Westin hotel standing right in front of me. All I had to do was look up.
And isn’t that just the case sometimes for all of us? I mean, we get so focused on a problem or situation that we find ourselves staring down or only looking for solutions that are immediately in our view. We get trapped going in circles trying to solve the same problem, circling the Michael Norton airport and never landing. We get confused and WINNING maybe even frustrated WORDS or lost. When all we have to do is to look up. Looking up for some people can be very hard. And for others looking up can have different meanings. Some may interpret looking up as staying positive, optimistic, upbeat and motivated. They may have dealt with a problem or situation and resolved things in a very positive manner so they see things as “looking up.” Or maybe some of us just see the potential for a turn-around, we see a light at the
end of our tunnel so we may say, “Things are looking up.” Now there are also some of us who will say looking up has a much deeper and more spiritual meaning. They may believe that when trouble surrounds them, or if they are confused, lost or frustrated that all they have to do is look up towards heaven to find the answers they seek. For me personally that is my belief, although I must admit that sometimes I get so caught up in the situation or problem that I try to fix it on my own or muscle my way through it, just as I did in Houston. Whereas had I practiced what I teach, I would have been looking up and would have seen my destination very clearly. How about you, are things looking up? Are you looking up? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we stop looking down and start looking up it really will be a better than good week.

Pet health: When is it time for hospice care? Hospice care, palliative care, end-of-life care — no matter how the phrase is turned, it rings with finality. For pet owners, the terminal diagnosis of a pet is fraught with conflicting emotions, confusing information, and confounding decisions that often are made within the walls of a veterinary clinic or hospital. For some people, this burden may be eased with the option of caring for a dying pet at home. When the goal of treatment begins to shift from curing an illness to providing comfort, pet owners may consider hospice care. Hospice care is meant for pets that have three months or less to live; it is not intended for chronic, non-terminal diseases. “Like the hospice model found in human medicine, pet hospice stems from the basic belief that death is not a medical failure. Rather, death is the normal and inevitable conclusion to life. The hospice philosophy teaches that, when all involved are properly prepared and guided, death can be experienced with dignity and compassion,” writes grief expert Laurel Lagoni on her Veterinary Wisdom website. Pet hospice is a philosophy that emphasizes pain management and end-of-life care for companion animals so they may live as fully as possible within the comfort of their own homes. For the pet’s family, hospice programs educate, prepare and provide support as people navigate the last phase of a pet’s life. The veterinary hospice team consists of the veterinarian

and trained staff who provide expertise in palliative care and pain control for terminally ill animals.
CSU’s Pet Hospice Program
Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences developed the nation’s first pet hospice program based in a veterinary teaching hospital through a partnership between the Argus Institute for Families and Veterinary Medicine and clinicians in the James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital. CSU’s Pet Hospice Program serves veterinarians and their patients within a 30-minute drive of Fort Collins. Student volunteers visit homes of terminally ill patients on a schedule created by the referring veterinarian. The hospice volunteers provide pain control and physical comfort, and assist with any prescribed therapies. A volunteer student case manager updates the referring veterinarian after each visit.
How does hospice work? • Patients must have a terminal illness with a short life expectancy. • Your veterinarian oversees the medical management of your pet’s illness, in partnership with a hospice team. • The hospice team provides basic nursing services, quality-of-life assessments, end-of-life arrangements and emotional support.
• Hospice acts as a liaison between the client and the veterinarian.
What standards apply to pet hospice? In response to the significant growth of pet hospice programs across the country, the American Veterinary Medical Association offers the following guidelines for veterinarians and potential hospice clients: • Pet hospice should be consistent with and offered within the context of veterinary practice. • The comfort of the animal must always be considered when veterinary hospice care is provided. • Veterinary hospice teams consist of veterinarians and staff trained in palliative care and pain control for terminally ill animals. • Family/household members must participate in the care of the animal patient at home. • Hospice requires commitment to the medical needs of the patient as well as the emotional needs of the client and family.
How do you find and choose a program? Ask your veterinarian if his or her practice offers hospice care. If not, ask for a referral to a hospice team, or browse the International Association of Animal Hospice and Palliative Care provider’s directory.

City leaders say the physical connection also will give the community a more cohesive, unified feel. They believe it will help ease any sense of division between RidgeGate, the still-building development south of Lincoln that was annexed into the city in 2000, and the older areas. About $3.5 million of the bridge’s cost will come from other entities, including South Suburban Parks and Recreation, Douglas County, the Park Meadows Metro District, Coventry Development and Omni Park Metropolitan District. Monson moved to approve funding to secure property needed for the project, but to hold off on a vote on all other aspects of the project to allow more community outreach. Her motion died for lack of a second. The city held four community

over there. Someplace for them to jog, to go at lunch, is worthwhile.” South Suburban likely will commit $500,000 to launch the project. “It might take $500,000 just to modify the infrastructure,” Giron said. “It might be $1.5 (million) to $2 million to provide some kind of park here we’d be proud of.” The council will decide whether to make a financial contribution toward the park’s creation. The city sets aside $250,000 annually to contribute toward a South Suburban project within the city limits.
easier now,” she said. “I can vote, I don’t have to stand in the immigration line at the airport, and I can get my passport. We’re traveling back home to Brazil next month to visit.” • Rasty Qader, who’s from Iraq, said he felt all types of emotions after the ceremony. “I came here be because of the situation in Iraq,” he said. “Over the last five years, I just realized I didn’t want to be there. I feel excited — this was nerve-racking. I’m glad to be able to vote and do more things. I’m going to apply for my passport right now. It was so hard to travel with an Iraqi passport, but now I can go to Europe like I’ve wanted.” He said he applied to be a U.S. citizen just a couple of months ago and that it wasn’t so bad. The test wasn’t hard, he said.
meetings, a business owners’ meeting, homeowners association and seniors’ luncheon presentations, and conducted a telephone town hall on the project. About 370 people attended a meeting or listened in on the town hall. Most indicated support for the pedestrian bridge, and most of those favored the leaf design over the simpler arch structure. Lone Tree resident Fred Hammer is among those who support the leaf bridge. “It’s going to be used much more than people think,” he said. “All in all, I think it’s a wonderful project for the city. It has to be done now or it’ll never be done. The land … is not going to be for sale forever. I think they accomplished their goal in coming up with something that’s functional but very attractive and doesn’t block the view of the mountains.” Hammer also praised the city’s community outreach and the proposed financing. “It’s really great we have at least three

It’s Lone Tree dollars being used for a Lone Tree project.” Monson doesn’t believe enough people know about the project or understand the financial implications. “I certainly understand the importance of connectivity and community,” she said. “My concerns were only 1 percent of the population has weighed in on this particular project. I feel we needed to have further study. “At the rate we’re spending money in Lone Tree, our capital reserves fund — which is at $8 million — is projected to go to $108,000 by 2018. Then it’ll start to build back up. If perhaps we would go into another economic downturn, those projections are going to change. I think people need to understand that.” Monson also noted Lone Tree residents pay taxes to almost all the other contributing entities.

the reserve may dip to about $108,000, but immediately builds back up in 2019 and 2020. It’s a conservative projection that doesn’t assume revenue increases or typical annual contributions from Park Meadows Metro District, Douglas County and other entities, he said. “The five-year capital plan is just that — a plan,” Hoffman said. “We look at it several times a year and can adjust it based on changing priorities or economic conditions.” Lone Tree will be spending a significant portion of its capital reserves in the next few years, Hoffman said, much of it toward the light rail extension. “In general terms, our capital reserve is our savings account for capital projects … so we have the money on hand to pay for big projects, such as the pedestrian bridge,” he said. “Projections show that being drawn down because we do have some major investments we’re making in the next few years. That’s the reason for the savings account, to use it for these types of projects so we don’t have to issue debt.”

W
hen those of us of a certain age think “family game night,” it might bring back memories of gathering around the dining-room table with the old standard equipment like tiddlywinks and dice, playing cards and Monopoly money. But these days, lots of families are gathering around the TV or laptop with Skylanders and Portals of Power, Wiis and amiibos. “Certain video games are good for kids,” said Matthew Herald, manager of the Buy Back Games store in Englewood. “I have 5-year-old twins and a 7-year-old, and we play Minecraft together. Sometimes they’re better at it than I am.” In Minecraft, players enter a world that’s basically a blank slate and must find and create ways to live in it. “It’s like building something out of Lego after you made and molded the plastic, and dyed it with plants that you grew yourself, and then going on an adventure inside it through forests and deserts while monsters are chasing you,” said Bec Oakley on the website www.minemum.com. “If you’re having a hard time understanding what the game’s all about, it might help to think of it less as a game and more as a toy.” Herald said it’s great for families to play together because it teaches about things like cooperation and engineering. “My children have learned to build some very cool things on that game, like structures and how far you can push things before they give,” he said. “And it’s definitely family time. Mommy even gets involved.” Jeff Kokx has a slightly different take. He’s owned Enchanted Grounds, a coffee and game shop in Highlands Ranch, for nine years and is in the process of opening one in Littleton. He doesn’t carry video games at all. “It’s one aspect I pull away from and do not encourage,” he said. “To me it’s about the face-to-face mentality, the social aspect.” Customer Alex Calderwood and his daughter, 8-year-old Addison, agree. “When I’m watching on TV, I don’t talk and I never listen,” said Addison. “And sometimes board games teach lessons about good sportsmanship.” Her dad said they play a lot of board games like Candyland, Yahtzee, Sorry and Operation. But they also enjoy Wii as a way to get up and get active, and the occasional game of Mario Kart. “It seems a little more interactive when you play board games,” he said. “They kind of zone out when they’re playing video games.”
In the beginning
The Mario Brothers franchise has been around since Alex Calderwood was a kid. At 42, he even remembers the first time he saw
LEARNING EXPERIENCES According to www.scholastic.com, playing games can teach social skills like: Communicating verbally Sharing Waiting Taking turns Enjoying interaction with others
Not your parents’
game night
Focusing “The message inherent in board games is never give up,” the website says. “Just when you feel despondent, you might hit the jackpot and ascend up high, if you stay in the game for just a few more moves.”
Pastimes change, but many classics are still popular
By Jennifer Smith | jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pong. It was the first-ever video game, in which you simply bounced a dot off the side of the TV screen in a very basic game of solo tennis, or against another player’s dot if you had two controllers. “It was cool being able to control something on TV, and it was another game I could beat my older brothers at,” he said. Things have come a long way since then, all the way to games like Skylander. In that game, you have actual little character figurines you place on a special “portal” that brings them to life on the screen, where you can manipulate them with controllers. “Just this morning, I had a guy come in with his son,” said Herald. “They picked up some Skylanders figures and a pizza from next door, and said they were going to have a guys’ night.” The traditional family game night has changed so much that even the concept of “family” can be different. Richard Hickman and Jacque Woods are part of a group of friends who met at Enchanted Grounds and now spend more time there than at home, they say. “We don’t have family close by, so they be-
came our family,” said Woods. “We’re always here, or we’re always texting. Some of them are considerably younger than us, so they became our kids.” They enjoy tabletop and role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons or Star Wars: Imperial Assault, and deck-building cards like Magic or Dominion. Hickman said such games are great for kids and families because they teach cooperation, build a competitive spirit and encourage critical thinking. “You have to be able to look at things and put things together, and it builds teamwork,” he said. “Games have gotten so you’re not playing against each other, you’re playing cooperatively against the game,” agreed Woods. “So you’re not turning brothers and sisters against each other.” The Gray family agrees. Dad Chris, 18-year-old Andrew, 14-year-old Claire and 9-year-old David visit Enchanted Grounds at least once a week. “It’s the only time we can all sit down at the same table and not argue,” said Claire Gray, playing the board game Catan with her

Well, most of them sit down together, anyway. David Gray sat at another table, absorbed in a video game on his laptop. Regardless, said his dad, it’s great to be able to all have a place they agree on. “It’s entertainment for the whole family, and they all have friends here,” he said.

Two Colorado wines receive ‘best’ awards The Colorado Wine Industry Development Board, part of the Colorado Department of Agriculture, has just announced the winners of the 2015 Governor’s Cup Wine Competition, which took place on May 16 and 17 at Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center. The only statewide winemaking competition exclusively for Colorado wines, this year’s competition drew 241 entries from 37 local wineries, and was judged by a panel of sommeliers, winemakers, writers and wine experts from around the country. “I think the wines this year show great balance and wonderful winemaking skills,” said judge and winemaker Warren Winiarski of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon from the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting. The 2015 Governor’s Cup “Best of Show” went to two wines, both made from Syrah. When the sweepstakes tasting was complete, Canyon Wind Cellars’ 2013 Anemoi Lips and Turquoise Mesa Winery’s 2013 Syrah were tied. The 15 judges preferred to name both wines as Best of Show rather than break the tie with a vote. Syrah is a red grape variety that originates from the Rhone region of France. The 2015 Governor’s Cup Case features the top 12 rated grape wines from the competition, but new this year is the special “niche” four-pack of cider, mead, fruit and flavored wines. “I’m excited to hear that our 2013 Anemoi Lips won Best of Show,” Jay Christianson said. “We’re quite humbled that one of our wines has been awarded Best of Show two years in a row!” Turquoise Mesa Winery, like Canyon Wind Cellars, placed two of its wines in the Governor’s Case Cup.

Located at 5380 S.

given the significant daytime crowd of the Denver Tech Center surrounded by upscale residential as well as evening entertainment options. We hope to provide a unique dining option for the wide variety of customers that frequent the area for lunch, dinner and weekends.”

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com ThunderRidge, led by all-tournament selections Troy Brady and Clay Verk, joined Regis Jesuit as the only undefeated teams in the Continental-Centennial League Challenge basketball tournament held June 17-19 at Heritage High School. For the second year in the 2-year-old tournament, the Continental League won the competition. The Continental League won 25 games; the Centennial garnered 24 victories. ThunderRidge and Regis led the way for Continental with six wins in six games. Heritage, Rock Canyon and Lakewood were 3-3; Legend and Mountain went Vista 2-4; and Chaparral was winless. Arapahoe was 3-3 for the Centennial League, and Cherry Creek went 2-4 in the tournament. Rangeview paced the Centennial League with a 5-1 record. Lakewood and Rangeview were invited to play in the three-day tournament as replacements for league schools that didn’t commit due to coaching changes. “Each game was very competitive,” said Heritage coach and tournament director Jentry Byleveld. “The great play, coaching and officiating made this tourney very successful. The leagues present different strengths against one another. The athleticism of the Centennial League versus the perimeter shooting of the Continental.” Basketball games in June provide a time for experimenting and getting to know more about the players who might play varsity basketball next season. Some of the teams in the Continental-Centennial challenge were missing key
players because of previous commitments. “What we do in the summer is look at different combinations, and we want the kids to play hard,” said Cherry Creek coach Mike Brookhart. “We want to find out the right combinations, find out what are the kids’ strengths and weaknesses, and what we think we need to work on as a team.” Byleveld hopes to inflate the tournament next June. “The tournament will continue next year, but may expand to 24 teams and involve both leagues in addition to the eight best teams in the state that year,” he said. “Those teams will be chosen by the league coaches and will be invitation only, continuing to make this the premier tourney in the state.”

Cherry Creek’s Jordyn Colter is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Track Athlete of the Year. In the spring, Colter won individual state championships in the 800- and 1,600-meter runs and was part of the state championship 4x800-meter relay team. Courtesy photo
After setting two state records while winning the 800-meter and 1,600-meter races at the state meet in May, Jordyn Colter of Cherry Creek High School has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Track Athlete of the Year. As a senior, Colter was the anchor of the Class 5A-winning 4-x-800-meter relay team, won her third consecutive state championship in the 800-meter in a Colorado record time of 2:04.56, and then claimed her third consecutive 1,600-meter title with another Colorado-best time of 4:46.22. Colter called her senior season “a dream come true.” “The state meet was absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to my high school career,” said Colter. “I was quite surprised with my times ... I knew I was fit, but I wasn’t sure what I was capable of. To walk away from high school with two state records is so surreal.”
Colter gives credit for her success to her coaches, teammates and parents. One of her biggest influences has been former Fairview star Melody Fairchild, one of the top milers in state history, and considered by many to be the best American high school female distance runner in history. Fairchild trains Colter and SOUTH METRO other runners. ATHLETES Colter said of OF THE YEAR Fairchild: “She taught me to never give up even in the hardest of times,” and said another of her personal coaches, Natalie Reyes, “has always believed in me and pushed me to new limits.” But her family is her No. 1 supporter, Colter said.

Greenlaw graduated in the spring from Rock Canyon High School, which does not have a girls lacrosse team, so she competed all four years for ThunderRidge . ThunderRidge coach Kelsi Goings understands how the goals can overshadow the rest of what Greenlaw brings to the field. “Kirstie obviously can rip shots, but she is so much more than that as a player,” Goings said. “She has the ability to really lead. She takes the time to get to know every player on the team individually and builds bonds. “(Her) type of leadership is so fundamental to having a successful team. Having an upperclassman say, ‘This is what I have been working for and I want you to join me!’ — it’s powerful and it made a huge impact on our team.” Greenlaw said the team leaders who came before her were a big influence.

Lutheran standout earns Steinmark Award Willis proved excellence in football, basketball, classroom
grade point average, passed for 1,927 yards, completed 59.6 percent of his passes, and helped Lutheran’s football team post a 10-1 record last season. He threw 25 touchdown passes and rushed for 255 yards and three TDs. He led the Lions’ 21-6 basketball team with a 17-point average, and he contributed 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. “I like basketball more,” said the 6-foot Willis. “Part of it is to avoid as many injuries as possible. Honestly I’ve just liked basketball more my whole life. Since I had the option and since basketball was an opportunity for me, I’d rather go this route because it’s more fun. I really did enjoy football, but basketball is my favorite sport.” Willis had to grind his way on the football field and basketball court after it was discovered in September of his junior year that he had a herniated disc. He missed the beginning of the 2013-14 basketball campaign. “I went in for three different procedures and had 10 total shots last season,” he explained. “Right now my back is all right. I still have nerve damage. “It’s taken a lot of time to get to where it’s at,” he added. “It still hurts, but it’s not nearly as bad as when it first happened. I couldn’t sit down or stand up. It’s like an activity recovery. If I weren’t playing sports and I was in my mid-30s, the way to recover would be to walk every day, stretch every day and do core exercises. So I do core exercises, stretch and walk every day.” Willis’ best senior moment off the athletic venues was easy to pinpoint. “The best moment was graduation,” he said. “It was a happy time. You are with your friends, you feel like you accomplished something, you know you tried the best you could and the results were good.”

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com A friend’s visit put James Willis’ senior year in perspective. Willis, who was a standout quarterback and the leading scorer on Lutheran’s basketball team, was named the winner of the Freddie Steinmark Award on June 13 at the All-State games in Alamosa. “I had a friend that came over to the school that I had grown up with, and that was the moment that I knew there were five seniors on the basketball team and they were all my closest friends,” recalled Willis. “I said, ‘This is my senior year and I’m going to enjoy myself because I’m going to be around my closest friends.’” The Steinmark Award is named after the former Wheat Ridge football, basketball and baseball player who went to the University of Texas to play football. He was a starting safety for the Longhorns, but following a 15-14 win over Arkansas on Dec. 6, 1969, in a matchup of the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation, a cancerous tumor was found in his thighbone and his leg was amputated. Steinmark stood on crutches on the Longhorns’ sideline 20 days later and watched Texas beat Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl to win the national championship. He died of cancer in 1971 at the age of 22 and has since become a symbol of courage; his story will soon be portrayed in a movie. Willis, who will play basketball next season at Western State, was the 46th male athlete to be honored with the Steinmark

The prerequisites to be nominated for the award include that the senior athlete play two sports, be All-State in one and at least All-Conference in the other, carry a 3.0 grade point average or above, and be active in school and community efforts. “I was really surprised to win,” admitted Willis, who was All-State in both football and basketball. “I didn’t think I was going to get it. I was really shocked. My head basketball coach (Ryan Bredow) told me I was nominated, and I started reading into what the award was all about, and I was like, wow, that was crazy. I went to the website and had to do a little research to make sure I knew what this was all about.” Willis, the Lions’ valedictorian with a 4.3

Colter Continued from Page 18
“I can always count on them to cheer for me during a race and be my biggest fans in everything in good and bad times,” she said. Colter’s sights are set on preparing for her summer race schedule and her collegiate career at the University of California at Berkley, where she plans to eventually pursue a degree in either exercise science or kinesiology.
Greenlaw Continued from Page 18
“When I was a freshman, I had a senior take me under her wing, make me feel accepted and appreciated. When I became a junior and senior, it was natural for me to show leadership because I experienced it personally, and I wanted to give my teammates the same respect.” Greenlaw’s stats jump off the page, as she scored 244 goals and piled up 64 assists in her ThunderRidge career, and are a big reason why she is headed to San Diego State University in the fall to continue her career. She will be joining former Arapahoe High School standout Chandler Ramsey on the Aztecs’ women’s lacrosse team. “I am going to miss Kirstie, but I think she has left a lasting legacy for the Grizzlies and the team is not going to forget that,” Goings said. Greenlaw left the team with some advice. “I told them lacrosse will be the best four years of your life; have no regrets and enjoy every moment from practice to team dinners to game days.”

EDG Monthly Breakfast: Exporting the Colorado Lifestyle: Local Manufacturers The Economic Development Group (EDG) of the South Metro Denver Chamber hosted its monthly breakfast meeting this past Friday, June 12th at 7 AM at the Chamber. The host and MC for the morning was Doug Tisdale of the South Metro Chamber, EVP Economic Development. Presentations included Jeff Popiel, CEO of Geotech Environmental Equipment and Michael Maloney, CEO of Kota Longboards. The morning’s topic was exporting the Colorado lifestyle and both
presenters touched on the important subject in regards to their companies in tandem with the Denver region. Jeff Popiel of Geotech spoke about how his family-run company is using technology to better the environment not only in Colorado, but on a worldwide scale. Geotech manufactures an extensive line of equipment for the environmental industry and are headquartered here in Denver. Michael Maloney of Kota talked to the audience about how his military background as a U.S. Navy Fighter
Pilot has given him the courage to ask “why not” when others ask “why.” This courageousness is intrinsic to Kota Longboards’ culture, a lifestyle company that creates apparel, accessories, and longboards crafted from Wisconson’s Hard Rock Maple wood. Kota is proud to manufacture their products right here in Colorado and consumers will find a “Made in USA” or “Made in Colorado” sticker on every longboard made. Final words were from EDG Chair Norman Stucker, introduced by Chamber CEO Bob Golden.
Norman proudly spoke of all the recent achievements of the Economic Development Group. Do not miss next month’s Women in Business Speaker Series meeting, in partner with the EDG, in which Shannon Block, CEO of the Denver Zoo, will be presenting. This breakfast will be on Friday, July 10th, at 7:30 AM. A huge thanks to all of the EDG members who attended last week’s meeting and we look forward to seeing you next month!

You have the right to request a trial by jury at the adjudicatory stage of this petition. You also have the right to legal representation at every stage of the proceedings by counsel of your own choosing, or if you are without sufficient financial means, appointment of counsel by the Court. Termination of your parent-child legal relationship to free your children for adoption is a possible remedy in this proceeding. If that remedy is pursued, you are entitled to a hearing before a Judge. You also have the right, if you are indigent, to have the Court appoint, at no expense to you, one expert witness of your own choosing at any hearing on the termination of your parent-child relationship. If you are a minor, you have the right to the appointment of a Guardian ad litem to represent your best interests. You have the right to have this matter heard by a district court judge rather than by the magistrate. You may waive that right, and in doing so, you will be bound by the findings and recommendations of the magistrate, subject to review as provided by sec. 19-1-108(5.5), C.R.S. 2014, and subsequently, to the right of appeal as provided by Colorado Appellate Rule 3.4.
