Commissioners block Hilltop subdivision County denies application to rezone land near Elbert County boundary By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County commissioners rejected an application to rezone property for a proposed housing development on Hilltop Road near the border of Douglas and Elbert counties. Commissioners Roger Partridge, David Weaver and Jill Repella all voted to deny the application, citing concerns over the proposed project’s compatibility with neighboring agricultural areas and its ad-
herence to the county’s Comprehensive Master Plan. “I feel that the county commissioners did their job and I’m very pleased with the outcome,” said Tina Huston, a Parker resident who led opposition to the rezoning plan. “This development was way off the mark from the get-go.” Huston was one of approximately 70 people who showed up for the hearing. Many brought signs displaying their opposition to the project, though Weaver, the board chairperson, asked them not to wave them. A total of 14 citizens spoke against the proposal, including a PowerPoint presentation by Huston and three other residents. Hilltop continues on Page 5

A statement released May 4 on the Town of Parker’s website stated the mayor and town council have decided to table the zoning project for the Pine Curve property east of downtown. No time limit has been set, but the statement said the project will be postponed for a limited duration. The process is designed to create Planned Development zoning for the land, allowing commercial development of the property. Many residents have voiced opposition to the rezoning, citing concerns over traffic, pedestrian safety and loss of the area’s unique character. The statement says the decision to postpone the process was made to give officials time to “review the comments, address potential concerns and incorporate appropriate responses in the final zoning.” According to the announcement, the postponement will also give the mayor and council time to evaluate financial Pine Curve continues on Page 5
DOWNTOWN DAY
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Martial arts instructor Eddie Afyoni begins each class by reciting the same mantra with his students: “To be a good person — knowledge in your mind — honesty in your heart — and to be a good friend.” The beginning of his classes are identical, like the level of respect and professionalism he shows all of his pupils. But he can be forgiven if one class holds a distinct place in his heart. Every Wednesday for the past three years, Afyoni has taught martial arts to students with special needs. They come to his Karate for Kids studio in Parker with different abilities and challenges. But Afyoni’s goal for each of them is the Karate continues on Page 5

A glimpse of the people in our community
ROBIN LUNT Mother, Washington, D.C., transplant Moving from metro to mountains The biggest change is suburbia, we lived in the city itself in Washington, D.C., so the biggest change is adapting to the suburbs, and the elevation. So far, I think we’ve adjusted. We had a choice with my job of moving to the Denver area or the Portland area, and we chose Denver because of the sun and the mountains. I worked in Portland one day where I swore that the sun never came up. In Colorado, everyone has their hat, their sunglasses and their water bottle at all times. We bought a house specifically so we can bike almost everywhere. We try to design our life to make a car unnecessary. We haven’t been fully successful at that, but we try. We’re really looking forward to the weather here. We’re looking forward to some camping and hiking. The best part of being a parent Just seeing their personalities emerge and getting an “inside view” into these little peoples’ lives is the most rewarding part of parenting for my husband and I.

Center to help families opens doors Douglas County announced the opening of the Family Resource Pavilion, a resource center for families with children facing a variety of challenges including housing and financial problems, behavioral issues, involvement with juvenile court, family conflict and drug use. In a press release, County Commissioner David Weaver said the center will “prove to be a valuable asset to the children and families in our communities, giving them a central place to access services.” Experts from different fields meet with family members to coordinate services with partners such as the Shiloh House, AllHealth Network, Synergy Addiction Research and Treatment Services and the Juvenile Assessment Center and local governmental agencies from Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The pavilion, located at 9700 E. Easter Lane in Centennial, is open 24/7. Appointments can be made by calling 720-2131400 but drop-ins are also welcome. PACE Center to host legislative open house State senators and representatives will be on hand to answer questions about upcoming legislation on May 19 from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the PACE Center. Sens. Mark Scheffel and Chris Holbert

and Reps. Kim Ransom and Polly Lawrence, all Republicans, will attend the meeting. The event will include a continental breakfast, question-and-answer session and a roundtable discussion of issues currently affecting legislation in Colorado. County urges emergency preparedness Officials in Douglas County are asking residents to register for an emergency notification system to alert them in the case of wildfires. The system, dubbed CODE RED, is designed to notify residents in the event of a wilfire and give them enough time to evacuate safely. Notifications are sent via email, text message or telephone call, according to individual preferences, and a TDD option is available for hearingimpaired registrants. Signing up for the alerts is free and all information given is kept confidential. More information on the program can be found at www.DouglasCountyCODERED. com. E-470 traffic increase among highest in U.S. Data collected in February showed an increase in the use of toll roads nationwide, and a double-digit increase in traffic on E-470. Motorists used the toll road 12.4 percent more in 2015 than in 2014, according to the study conducted by the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association. “One of the more interesting findings is that while the Northeast U.S. has the longest history with toll roads, 10 toll authorities in the South and West showed the largest increase in trips and transactions,” Patrick D. Jones, executive director and CEO of IBTTA, said in a press release. U.S. Department of Transportation data showed Americans drove 3.1 trillion miles in 2015, more than in any other year in U.S. history. “Despite often hearing and reading that people are driving less, the latest traffic volume numbers from the USDOT provide us with a reality check,” said Croft. “It’s clear that both traffic and travel are up.” Northwest Parkway in Broomfield saw a 13 percent increase in usage, according to the study.

Modern-day abolitionists fight for children
Rocky Vista University screens documentary on human trafficking
By Tom Skelley tskelley@colorado communitymedia.com Most Americans believe that slavery ended with Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. Todd Tueller told students assembled at Rocky Vista University that isn’t the case. Tueller was at the Parker school May 2 for an advanced screening of “The Abolitionists,” a documentary on human trafficking, a black-market trade that enslaves an estimated 2 million children worldwide. “Everybody wants to fix the problem, and it’s a fixable problem,” Tueller said. Tueller started the group Operation Underground Railroad with Tim Ballard, a former operative with the Central Intelligence Agency. The organization identifies traffickers and performs sting operations to rescue and relocate victims of child prostitution around the world. Tueller said OUR has already rescued 500 children and brought 150 traffickers to justice. The film shows footage of sting operations conducted by OUR as well as testimonials from victims. It’s easy to assume a documentary about such a disturbing topic would be too depressing to appeal to a wide audience. Tueller said former victims helped edit the film to ensure a balance between showing the horrors of human trafficking and the positive outcomes for the rescued victims.
Todd Tueller addresses students at Rocky Vista University in Parker before the screening of the film “The Abolitionists” on May 2. The documentary exposes the world of human trafficking and its child victims. Photo by Tom Skelley “It’s super sad, but it’s super inspirational,” Tueller said. Spencer Hill, president of the Rotary Community Corps of Rocky Vista University, said stopping human trafficking is a cause more people would get involved with if they knew about the problem. “It happens everywhere,” he said. Hill said he set up the screening to increase awareness of the problem, confident that once people in Parker heard about it they would get involved. “It’s such a big problem that good people everywhere just don’t know about.” “If we can save children from these horrible events, I just
think there’s no better cause out there,” he said. Hill said approximately 100 people showed up to the screening, donating $1,447 to OUR. The film opens on May 16, with the AMC Highlands Ranch 24 and the United Artists Greenwood Plaza 12 theaters participating. The film will play for English-speaking audiences in the United States and Canada before it is translated for audiences in Europe, Asia and other markets. Tueller said OUR’s work has already stemmed the tide of trafficking around the world, and he hopes greater exposure
will lead to greater results. He said a television series is in the works in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, and he added that many local governments have used OUR’s techniques to pursue rescue operations of their own. Getting the word out isn’t just a tool to recruit sponsors. Tueller said awareness of OUR’s work has a deterrent effect for perpetrators of human trafficking, and an inspirational effect for its victims. “We want to show the bad guys that we could be anyone they talk to,” Tueller said, “and we want to let the victims know that we’re coming.”

same: to take them to their fullest potential. “Some of them are more vocal than others, some of them like to talk and some don’t, but he pulls it out of all of them — that’s the best part of what he does,” said Jason Strong, an instructor at the studio. “Most schools don’t accept special-needs students because they see them as a distraction to the big classes. We like to have them here and then incorporate them into the main classes as well.” Afyoni and Strong want to expand the class to other Karate for Kids locations in Highlands Ranch and Littleton as word gets out and demand increases. Strong hopes to teach the classes at the other locations — and live up to Afyoni’s example. “A lot of people try to teach in a special needs class and they can’t do it,” Strong said. “He’s the best I’ve seen.” Parents of Afyoni’s students agree. They speak of Afyoni and the class with gratitude, admiration and praise. Maura Klene, whose daughter Rhianna leads the class in some routines, said Afyoni’s ability to appreciate each student’s abilities and needs ensures that each student succeeds. “He is incredible. What is going to work for (each student) is what he makes happen,” Klene said. “Each of the kids’ successes looks a little bit different, but he makes sure each kid has that success.” Rhianna was born 14 weeks premature. Throughout her life she’s had issues with anxiety, learning sequences and coordinating movement between the left and right sides of her body, challenges many of her classmates share. Afyoni’s class, Klene said, has helped Rhianna become more coordinated and more confident. Diane Triggs, whose 28-year-old son Paul is in the class, agreed with Klene that the class improves the students’ coordination and confidence, as well as giving them a chance to socialize. “They just love coming here, just to be together,” Triggs said. She said Paul, who has Down syndrome, likes the companionship and the exercise. Paul said his favorite part of class is using nunchakus. Calisthenics, nunchakus and strengthtraining exercises are all part of each session, in addition to practicing a sequence of self-defense maneuvers. With the exception of a few quick water breaks, the class is a no-nonsense 60-minute workout. In one exercise, Afyoni comes at each student, teasing “I’m going to punch your lights out” and forcing them to protect themselves. It may sound harsh, but Strong said Afyoni’s approach is part of the reason the students respond so well.

“He’s tough with them, that’s what I think they like so much,” Strong said. “Eddie doesn’t treat them with kid gloves just because of their special needs. I’ve talked to some of the parents before, they like that he challenges them … They’re earning their rank, just like all of our students do … There’s no special treatment for them.” The challenge the students face has to be real for their sense of accomplishment to be genuine, Afyoni said. As they progress in rank, achieving a new belt as they master new skills, he sees their pride and confidence grow. “Always they are being told you can’t do things,” Afyoni said. “This is the one thing that they do where they can see as they move up and they know: ‘I did this.’ ” Afyoni’s toughness is tempered with understanding. In each class, he has to strike a balance between pushing his students to improve and knowing when back off and add a dash of praise. “The most challenging part for me is to walk the thin line so they don’t get frustrated,” he said. “Sometimes when they feel frustrated, they just crash, and I feel like ‘Oh, my God, I pushed too hard maybe,’ so that’s the challenge, to push them just enough … To reinforce what they’ve learned, I have to find something correct in everything to build them up on that.” Understanding his students’ thresholds is key to Afyoni’s success, but Strong and the parents also point to his calm persistence. Teaching his students new moves may require repeating instructions, but Afyoni said it leads to a greater reward for them, and for him. “There are sometimes it takes once or twice, and sometimes it takes 100 times to show them something,” he said. “When they do it … it doesn’t matter. When they are doing it, for their own satisfaction, then I got paid.” And the learning goes both ways. The students teach him lessons more important than karate, Afyoni said. Teaching the class has changed his outlook on life, making him more aware of how his attitude affects the world around him. “It gave me a huge spectrum … to accept people for who they are, not who you expect them to be,” he said. “I have much more compassion for humanity, and, as old as I am, I appreciate you still see things.” Sue Jessen, whose daughter Ana has been in the class since it began, said the students’ success has more to do with that compassion than Afyoni’s mastery of martial arts. “He has taken every one of them from where they were to higher levels,” she said. “To see what he’s been able to do has been wonderful. She loves the class, she loves the forms. But mostly, she loves him.”
es the substantial public interest in the project and the fact that many people made their voices heard concerning the rezoning proposal. Any resident with further questions or concerns is asked to call the Community Development Department at 303-841-2332 or visit the Pine Curve project page at www.parker online.org/pinecurve.

Hilltop Continued from Page 1
The application was brought by 303 Investments LLC, a Parker-based company headed by resident Derrick Myers. Myers told the commission his only desire for the project was to sell affordable land to homeowners. Several calls made to the company’s telephone number were not answered. The property is located at the eastern edge of Douglas County, from Hilltop Road to the border of Elbert County. The proposal would have rezoned the land from agricultural use to residential use, distributing 56 parcels of land for a subdivision of homes. Proponents of the rezoning pointed to the Bandera subdivision, which stands adjacent to the Hilltop property on the western edge of Elbert County. C.J. Kirst of the Tahoe Consulting Group, who argued for rezoning on behalf of Myers, said the Bandera development would eventually be full to capacity, nullifying the issue of Hilltop’s residential use clashing with the neighboring land. Repella didn’t agree with that argument, stating that Bandera is currently struggling to succeed. She added that she couldn’t dismiss the idea that the Hilltop property didn’t comply with the use of the surrounding, primarily
agricultural, properties. “They made their decision,” Kirst said, declining to comment further on the board’s rejection of the application. Weaver and Partridge also voiced concerns over the compatibility of the proposed Hilltop development. Partridge added that he didn’t think the plan adhered to the spirit of the Douglas County Comprehensive Master Plan. Both Weaver and Partridge stated they had concerns over whether the character of the area had changed enough since being zoned for agriculture to justify adding more residential property. “I think this is fantastic,” said Olivia Carpenter, who lives in Franktown and spoke against the proposal. “I think this is a true victory for the people, the community and the county in general, and I think the commissioners are truly upholding the values of the community.” Huston said she has spent hundreds of hours fighting the development plan, and she is eager to get back to working on her farm. She said she hopes other concerned citizens in the area can get back to their own lives with this issue behind them. “I’m just thrilled with the 800-plus signatures that we had on our petitions and the citizens who showed up to the hearing and spoke about all of their concerns to preserve the community,” Huston said. “It’s just very heartwarming.”

Legend student’s efforts garner national award
Steiner was spurred to take action by mother’s experience
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Nicole Steiner knows the healing effect of board games. Steiner’s mother suffered a fall that affected her mobility for an extended period of time, and playing games became a source of fun and social contact for her mother during her convalescence. That experience led Steiner to develop “A Game for You” in 2014. The program has collected more than $40,000 worth of used board games, books and puzzles for donation to local hospitals, special-needs classrooms, veterans’ organizations, homeless shelters and assisted-living facilities in 15 municipalities across Colorado. “Games, books and puzzles help stimulate mental and social interaction which can lead to mental, emotional and physical healing,”
the Legend High School senior said. Her efforts earned her national recognition, as she and 100 other students from across the United States were honored at the 21st annual Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program on May 1. The event was held at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, hosted by award-winning actress Hilary Swank. Steiner received a silver medallion, a $1,000 prize and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. Steiner also began a project called “A Journal for You,” which provides journals for counseling offices in each of the nine high schools in Douglas County. Writing in the journals is intended to help students alleviate stress. Steiner said her experience benefiting from the kindness of volunteers during her mother’s recovery inspired her to look for ways to help others who are going through tough times. “Many people helped my family with meals, shopping and childcare,” Steiner said. “I am inspired by those who served us.”

Construction begins at Arapahoe and I-25 Crews start first phase for rebuilding of bridge By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Just as making omelets requires breaking eggs, relieving traffic congestion requires creating some gridlock. On May 9, construction crews began erecting concrete barriers, restriping traffic lanes and setting up temporary lighting near the Interstate 25/Arapahoe Road interchange as part of a long-term project to rebuild the intersection’s bridge. For the next several months, various northbound and southbound lanes will be closed and some ramp closures will occur from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays. Eastbound and westbound lanes on Arapahoe Road will also be closed occasionally between Syracuse Way/Spruce Street and Dayton Street from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays. Bob Wilson, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Transportation, said the project will alleviate congestion at the busy interchange. “This will provide better traffic flow and should be able to eliminate the backups that are notorious from Arapahoe Road onto the highway,” Wilson said. The $66 million project includes adding an additional lane on westbound Arapahoe Road from Yosemite Street to Greenwood Plaza Boulevard and creating three left turn lanes from the I-25 off-ramps. Other aspects of the plan are realigning the frontage road northeast of the interchange, building noise walls near the Arapahoe Road and Yosemite Street intersection and widening Yosemite Street from Yosemite Circle to Xanthia Street. CDOT is footing the largest part of the
Construction crews begin work at the Arapahoe Road/I-25 interchange in Centennial on May 6. The crews will perform preliminary tasks such as re-striping lanes for a few weeks before the larger project of bridge reconstruction begins. Photo by Tom Skelley bill, using $50.4 million in funds from a program called Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships, or RAMP. The remaining cost of the project is being split among Arapahoe County, the cities of Centennial and Greenwood Village, and the Southeast Public Improvement Metropolitan District. Construction will be “substantially completed by summer 2018,” according to CDOT. Dion Wolf, a server at the Gunther Toody’s restaurant at 9220 Arapahoe Road, isn’t excited about the increased congestion the project will bring. “It’s going to slow down our business,” Wolf said. Wolf’s co-worker, Skip Girten, only became aware of the project when he heard Wolf speaking about it. He said he understands it will alleviate traffic in the future, even if it complicates his com-
mute in the present. “I’m not exactly stoked about the traffic it’s going to cause,” Girten said, “but as long as it’s helping with traffic later, I guess it’s a good thing.” Wilson responded to Wolf’s concerns and said CDOT will use signage and information on its website to make drivers aware of changes to business access.
“We will never close off access to local businesses,” Wilson said. “We’re going to do whatever is possible to make people aware of changes to business access.” Sidewalks on the north and south side of Arapahoe Road will occasionally be closed but one route for pedestrians will remain open throughout construction. Business access in the area will be rerouted at times as the frontage road is rerouted but access will be maintained. CDOT advises motorists to take alternate routes and alternative transportation modes such as the light rail and local bus services to minimize the impact of the lane closures. Wilson also warns motorists to be prepared to slow down. Speed limits on I-25 will be reduced from 65 to 55 mph. “It sounds like a big project,” said Lauren Francis of Centennial. “That worries me. It’s a really busy intersection and it’s already a mess. Now I’m already thinking of other ways around it. I guess I’ll be taking Dry Creek now.” Wilson said he understands that residents aren’t thrilled about the congestion the orange cones and shifting lanes will bring, but he added that projects in busy areas are always a problem. “It’s a balancing act,” Wilson said. “We’re trading short-term pain for longterm gain … There are always going to be some pinch points. It’s the nature of the beast.”

Rescue and foster volunteers, such as Suzanne Lively, admire Cordova’s dedication to animals. “She single-handedly has saved so many dogs,” Lively said. “She’s my hero.” Animal rescues look to Colorado because of the Pet Animal Care Facilities Act, a “licensing and inspection program dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of those animals in pet-care facilities throughout Colorado,” according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture website.

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Peter Rork, a retired pilot and orthopedic surgeon, pursued an interest in rescue animals after his wife died four years ago. “I lost my appetite for medicine,” he said, “and I had a plane at the time.” He now transports “death row” dogs and cats from unwanted areas by plane every couple of weeks. His flights became so crowded with animal crates that he invested in a larger aircraft. He recently had a record transport. “This is the biggest response we’ve had so far,” Rork said. “It’s the biggest dog flight we’ve flown into Denver.” Rork, of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, flies for Dog is My Copilot, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), Wyoming-based organization committed to flying animals out of areas with unsafe shelters. On May 4, he flew a Cessna 208B with more than 75 cats and dogs from New Mexico and Texas to Centennial Airport. About 50 rescue and shelter volunteers waited with handmade signs, crates, playpens and open arms. Mercedes Cordova, founder of From Forgotten to Forever Rescue and Transport, works with Dog is My Copilot to move shelter animals from Roswell, New Mexico, to Colorado to save them from euthanization. “There’s a 90 percent euthanization rate,” she said. “Most don’t make it. So we transport every couple of weeks.” Cordova, of Colorado Springs, works closely with rescues through-

VOICES
LOCAL
Whole lotta shakin’ can yield results While recently working with a client, I was invited to participate in a planning session with the leadership team. Having worked with this particular client I had met several of the management staff already, but this was really the first session where the CEO would also be actively involved. As the session started, the CEO immediately began to challenge everyone’s thinking. And he did so in a professional manner, but was very direct and almost to the point of intimidating the management team to the point of shutting down their participation. He pushed each one to go deeper and provide the rationale behind their thinking, belief and position. He brought the meeting to a level of intensity that really shook up the room. And then the CEO finally looked around the room and applauded his team for their contributions, thanking them for sticking to their belief systems. He wasn’t challenging them and asking hard questions to try and break them or prove his seniority or dominance, he was simply shaking things up a bit to allow people to challenge their own thinking as well as the thinking and direction that the organization as a whole was headed towards. As we left the room at the end of the day, energy levels were high, confidence was through the roof, pride was abundant and alignment of expectations were achieved. What could have seemed like a meeting driven
by a dominant and ego-driven CEO actually turned out to be a brilliant move to push the team beyond the limits of everyone going along to get along or simply saying “yes” to whatever the CEO said or wanted. This resonated with me as I was watching a baseball game on televiMichael Norton sion the other night. It WINNING was a ho-hum game at best. The score was 0-0 WORDS through the sixth inning. As the cameramen showed the dugouts of both teams throughout the game, it appeared as though everyone was bored including the players and the managers. Even the crowd in the stadium looked like they would have rather been somewhere else. And then all of a sudden one of the managers started yelling something from the dugout at one of the umpires. It seemed to be about nothing and at first looked like it was just going to blow over and the game would go on. And then the coach left the dugout and angrily approached the umpire. You didn’t have to be a professional lip reader to know what he was saying and the body language was equally as
aggressive. And, as you can imagine, the manager was ejected from the game. He started an argument over nothing and got himself tossed out of the game. But what he did was shake up and wake up his team. They went on to score a few runs that inning, the opposing team scored a few runs in their turn at bat, the crowd got back into the game, and excitement and energy seemed to be renewed. What is going on in our own lives personally or professionally where maybe we have become a little stale, a little too routine or complacent? Is there something that we can do to challenge ourselves and those around us to go deeper? Is there someone or something that needs a little shake-up and wake-up in our lives? Have we surrounded ourselves with “yes” men and women who only tell us what we want to hear? And if so, how can we ever grow or expect to progress? How about you, is it time to shake things up a bit in some way or in some area of your life? If so, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can shake things up and wake up a little bit, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Study the impacts of fracking proposals With the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision preserving responsible energy development in the state, fringe activists will attempt one final Hail Mary aimed at amending the Colorado Constitution. Backers of four measures targeting oil and gas development in Colorado have begun collecting the 100,000 signatures necessary for them to appear on the November ballot. If successful, they would essentially eventuate with a patchwork of local regulations that would, in effect, ban fracking, undermine property rights and destabilize Colorado’s business environment. The claim is made that the backers are simply local citizens, merely concerned with protecting their communities. But in reality, their activities are being pushed by out-ofstate interests with an agenda quite unlike the citizens of Colorado who welcome the economic boom the oil and gas industry fuels in our state. Our three organizations, by strong contrast, are deeply rooted in Colorado. We are both local and statewide. Together we represent thousands of the great companies in Colorado who do business across the breadth of the Centennial State. We stand with Vital for Colorado in support of a collaborative, responsive and transparent regulatory system managed at the state level, not the confounding, contradictory one envisioned by some unseen special interest. While the proposed ballot measures are
written to appear reasonable, we wish to be clear: They are de facto bans on fracking. For example, Initiative GUEST 40 would grant unprecedented power to local govCOLUMN ernments to ban outright any business or industry they don’t like, regardless of state, federal or international law. Initiative 63 is written so broadly that it would potentially empower nearly anyone to drag another into court over an alleged crime against the environment. Initiative 75 would further politicize the oil and gas industry by granting local governments broad new regulatory powers that could imperil tens of thousands of jobs in a heartbeat. Initiative 78 would require oil and gas operators to create an incredible buffer zone (called a setback) of at least a half-mile from things like “open space” areas and intermittent streams. When you consider the lay of the land in some parts of the state it is clear that would mean a ban on fracking. These initiatives are best seen as blunt instruments aimed at hurting a vital Colorado industry. There is a better way. For starters, we need to let the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission continue implementing the recommendations made recently by the governor’s oil and gas task

force. The recommendations are the capstone of a great deal of bipartisan work done by members of the environmental community, elected officials and the oil and gas industry. Let’s give them a chance to work before considering additional changes. As the signature-gathering efforts move forward, we encourage readers to consider the impact these measures could have on Colorado, including the loss of: billions of dollars in economic activity, hundreds of millions in tax revenues and tens of thousands of jobs. We believe the best way to achieve economic prosperity and environmental conservation is through dialogue, collaboration and cooperation, as we’ve seen with the governor’s task force. Let’s work together to see that we continue this strong partnership. Robert Golden is president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Mike Kopp is the executive director of Colorado Concern, an alliance of top business executives with a mission of enhancing the Centennial State’s business climate. Jeff Wasden is president of the Colorado Business Roundtable, an advocate for proactive, pro-business legislation that strengthens the economy and allows businesses to grow and thrive in Colorado and the region. All three serve on the board of directors for Vital for Colorado, a coalition of business, civic and economic development leaders along with more than 56,000 Coloradans from across the state dedicated to supporting and promoting the benefits of energy production in Colorado.
A word of advice: Ditch the device
I counted. I had plenty of time — two hours — to count. Waiting for my flight at the San Francisco airport, I decided to count the number of people walking by me who were on the phone. My survey was Craig Marshall Smith limited to 100 adult QUIET types. It included DESPERATION travelers, pilots, flight attendants, security, housekeeping, shoe clerks and others. One was talking so loudly that I said, “If you talk any louder you won’t need a phone.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
She was talking too loudly to hear me. Another one ran smack dab into a floor to ceiling window, and kept right on talking. A woman bumped into me, did a waltz step spin and went — without apologizing — in the opposite direction, like Roy Riegels. Roy “Wrong Way” Riegels ran the wrong way with a fumble in the 1929 Rose Bowl. The number of people I counted who were on phones, talking or texting, may surprise you. In 2016, we are monkey see, monkey do. People follow like sheep. Lemmings to the cliff. Oblivious otters making calls instead of making eye contact. Myopic, self-absorbed, rude, inattentive, head-down pigeons, tapping away. (I wonder if babies born 100 years from now will have a downward tilt to the head at birth.)
Student applies learning to real life Grace Davis is concerned that so many great teachers have left and are leaving the district. Last week, Marsha Jaroch wondered if teachers were responsible for the protest, and I would say yes they were. A teacher, or several teachers, have taught Miss. Davis to stand for what she believes in, to act with integrity, and to use her education to make the world a better place...to learn today and lead tomorrow. I’m sure the teachers at her school taught her the 4 C’s, and I can clearly see she used three of them. She communicated her concern with others, collaborated with students to plan the protest, and

Return school district to its former prominence As I prepare to retire from teaching after 25 years in the Douglas County School District, it saddens me to see what has become of a district that was once the envy of the state. A casual examination of a recent issue of this newspaper confirms the depths to which the district has sunk. In one story, a lawsuit is challenging the latest permutation of DCSD’s voucher plan. In another, DCSD is about to become the only district in the state to arm school security personnel with semi-automatic long rifles. Another story says two school board members will be investigated after showing up unannounced at Ponderosa High School and subjecting a 15-year-old student to 90 minutes of intimidation — with no parent present — designed to pressure her to call off a scheduled student protest. In another story, DCSD has agreed to return over $2 million in state funding as a result of failing to schedule adequate instructional time for all full-time students during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. Finally, a host of letters to the editor express outrage over DCSD policies and the actions of board members, and call for
the resignation of two board members. I remember a time when the Douglas County School District never graced the pages of this newspaper other than for mundane developments such as district growth, school calendars, the openRick Young ing of new schools and high school athletics. GUEST This was a time when the school board and COLUMN central administration of this district focused not on ideological crusades but on providing a solid education to the youth of this county. This was a time when teachers and administrators were eager to come to Douglas County and happy to spend their careers here. This was a time when this district amassed an invaluable pool of talented, experienced professionals who were dedicated to educating our children. DCSD test scores and graduation rates regularly topped state rankings.
All that began to change after 2009 when a new school board pursued a new and controversial direction. Under Superintendent Liz Fagen’s administration, the district has implemented a “pay-for-performance” system that totally devalues experience and educational attainment and creates a caste system that values teachers of certain grades and subjects more highly than others. DCSD also put in place a new evaluation system that both ties the hands of administrators seeking to evaluate their teachers and encourages teachers to spend endless hours uploading documentation rather than engaging in productive pursuits like lesson planning, grading or communicating with parents. At the same time, the district has overwhelmed teachers with a steady stream of directives governing lesson planning, instruction and assessment. When teachers are required to mind their EUs and EQs, their WCOs and their GVCs, with every single lesson and assessment, education becomes stilted and lifeless, and educators face endless frustration. These district initiatives have sparked the exodus of some of the best teachers and administrators in the state, who have left
DCSD and taken their talents and experience to neighboring districts. Or, like me, they are unwilling to start over in another district, so they retire. The result: schools founder, and students face frustrated and at times inexperienced teachers. It becomes increasingly difficult, and sometimes impossible, to lure outside talent to this district. How did the school board president and vice president respond to this growing crisis? By holding an illegal meeting in which they attempted to bully a 15-year-old girl into silence. The April 19 board meeting made two things abundantly clear: 1) the Douglas County School Board is mired in dysfunction; and 2) two of its members, Meghann Silverthorn and Judith Reynolds, should resign immediately. If they refuse, perhaps it is time for a recall campaign. And then, once they have been replaced, the newly constituted school board should replace Superintendent Liz Fagen and return this once-proud school district to the business of education. Rick Young is a teacher at Daniel C. Oakes High School in Castle Rock.

Someone said, “An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.” And this. “The silent man is the best to listen to.” It’s a Japanese proverb. The ubiquity of phoning and texting in public is normal now. When was the last time that you saw a teenager without a phone in her hand? Failure for a teenager to phone or text leads to rumors, snickering, bullying and shaming. If I were to meet a woman whose existence strategies were not enabled by a mobile phone, I might ask for a short engagement. When I see someone on a phone coming toward me, I just stop and stand in the quiet desperation of hope that they will eventually notice me and veer. I am convinced that some of them are not making calls at all. And that they are pretending to make calls. To look cool. I was the only one in an elevator once who wasn’t on the phone, so I started to talk to a ham sandwich. “Hello. It’s me. Please come over tonight. With a shovel.

So let’s not blame the union or the teachers for what Miss Davis did, let’s celebrate this as evidence that she has had highly qualified teachers who have taught her how to think critically and empowered her to be an agent of change.

It’s highly fascinating, but it does little to make me want more of it. Perhaps if I traveled more often, I would become less observant, and less judgmental. When I do go out among the English, I am always dumbfounded by the ability of others to move around so efficiently, and so blindly. I think boom boxes were the start of it all. Remember? People got on buses with boom boxes. There was something called “boom box rage.” Now we have pods in our ears, shutting others out. Of the 100 adult types at the airport in San Francisco, 72 were on the phone. I picked up my suitcase at DIA and walked to the parking garage. No one was nearby. No one was on the phone. It was silent. I decided not to listen to music on the way home. I decided to listen to nothing. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

‘More than their mortgage’ Parents re-evaulate options as they struggle to afford rising child care costs By Mike DiFerdinando | mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com
J
an Wilusz is an occupational therapist and has four young children, twin 7-year-old boys and two girls, ages 6 and 3. “I can’t afford to work,” Wilusz said. “I want to work. I love my career, but it would cost me more to work and put the kids in child care than it does for me to stay home with them.” Wilusz, who lives in Highlands Ranch, estimates day care for the four children would cost $1,600 to $1,800 per month — all day for the youngest and after school for the older ones. “I looked for three years for a place,” Wilusz said, before deciding the expense wasn’t worth it. Wilusz’s struggle to find affordable child care is a familiar one as the cost of child care climbs due to the increased cost of supplies, insurance and need for longer and more flexible care times for working parents. According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 48 percent of working parents with at least one child younger than 6 say their children attend day care or preschool, while 45 percent say their kids are cared for by a family member when the parents are at work, and 16 percent rely on a nanny or babysitter. In Colorado, a married couple can expect infant center-based care costs to exceed 15 percent of their income. With two children, the figure rises to more than 26 percent, according to “Parents and the High Cost of Child Care: 2015 Report by Child Care Aware of America.” The average single parent pays more than 46 percent of his or her income for infant center-based care, according to the report. “For a lot of parents, by the time you add up the cost of food, insurance, child care and a mortgagee,” Wilusz said, “there isn’t anything left.”
COST OF CHILD CARE FOR COLORADO FAMILIES Annual cost of infant care: Center: $13,154 Home: $8,862 Annual cost of care for an infant and a 4-year-old: Center: $23,036 Home: $17,054 Infant cost in center vs. public college tuition in 2015: $13,154 vs. $9,487 Source: “Parents and the High Cost of Child Care: 2015 Report by Child Care Aware of America”
More than a mortgage payment In Colorado, the average annual cost of infant care is $13,154 at a child-care center and $8,862 at a home-care facility. A child-care center is a facility that is run out of a business location and typically has a larger staff and the ability to accommodate more children, while a home-care facility is run out of a home and generally has a smaller number of children. Both are licensed and regulated by the state. “It’s a big challenge for households in Colorado,” said Kantryn Harris, president of the Qualistar Colorado nonprofit organization that focuses on early education. “In some cases, people are spending up to 30 percent of their income on child care. For some, it’s more than their mortgage payment.” The increase in cost for child care is in
“
I think if work places could do more in the way of either helping with the cost or providing more on-site care, it would go a long way for people.” — Jan Wilusz, occupational therapist and mother of four who doesn’t work outside the home because of the high expense of day care
part the result of the need for additional staffing and longer, more flexible hours of operation to accommodate working parents, Harris said. Higher expenses for providers Amber Spear runs a home day care in Highlands Ranch. She said she tries to keep her prices lower than the big centers, but it’s a challenge. She has been in the business for 15 years. “I have to watch twice as many kids as I did 10 years ago to earn the same amount of money and keep my prices competitive,” Spear said. Spear can accommodate up to eight children per day and charges between $50 and $60 per day, depending on whether the child is potty trained. “The day care centers are not (raising prices on) people because they want to make more money,” Spear said. “Their costs and margins are not the same as they have been in the past.” Paula Williams, owner of Paula’s Precious Pumpkins home day care in Highlands Ranch, blames much of the rise in prices on the higher cost of licensing. “Child care these days is so different from child care 25 years ago,” she said. “It is much more regulated by the state —
CHILD CARE RESOURCES If you think you qualify for financial assistance in child care, contact the Colorado Department of Human Services to find resources.

She said she has invested heavily in her business, including buying special liability insurance specific to child care. And with the expectation that children should also be receiving the necessary educational enrichment before entering kindergarten, the costs for the right toys and supplies also contributes to higher expenses.

‘Pomp and Circumstance’ has worn out its welcome People will pull a Tevye from “Fiddler on the Roof” and shout “Tradition!” but “Pomp and Circumstance” has got to go. In the 115 years since Edward Elgar composed the march for the coronation of England’s King Edward VII, hasn’t there been another piece of music we can use in lieu of “Pomp’s” repetitious monotony? As a student or parent, Elgar’s march is one you’ll hear perhaps twice as a student at high Clarke Reader school and college graduations, and a LINER few more times as NOTES a parent, depending on how many children you have. But even then, I’m not sure anyone actually hears the tune: Students are focused on not tripping down stairs and too excited to concentrate; parents are too busy jockeying for a prime photo position or quietly sobbing into their Kleenex. But what about the teachers, who listen to it year after year? The band students who actively produce the music?
Costs Continued from Page 12
Stogsdill, for instance, brings in music teachers and other area-specific instructors. “As the cost of living goes up, so does ours,” Williams said. “The expense for the supplies, time and necessary art supplies to teach the children all they need to know before entering kindergarten is not cheap.” Affordability for parents But finding day care they can comfortably pay for is a constant battle for parents. A majority of parents with one or more children younger than 6 say it is very hard (29 percent) or somewhat hard (33 percent) to find affordable, high-quality child care in their community, according to the Pew study. And among parents in families in which both mother and father work full-time, 67 percent say it’s hard to find affordable, high-quality day care where they live.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Beyoncé’s “Lemonade,” released on Columbia/Parkwood records. Review: Queen Bey returns after three years of relative quiet with her most fiery, cohesive and personal album to date. Ostensibly an album about a relationship on the rocks, Beyoncé uses R&B, rock, country and funk to
And journalists — like me — who cover three or more graduations in a week? It’s time for a change. Even “Pomp’s” composer would agree. “I’ve a got a tune that will knock ‘em — knock ‘em flat,” Elgar wrote while working on the piece, according to a June 2015 article by The Guardian, one of England’s oldest newspapers. “Pomp and Circumstance” didn’t become associated with graduations until 1905, a May 2003 story on NPR reports, when it was played as a recessional as Elgar received an honorary doctorate from Yale. The work became a reliable source of income for Elgar, but “he came to tire of its jingoism and the fact it overshadowed everything else he wrote,” according to The Guardian.
Lee-Anne Strickoff of Parker, who has two young children, ages 4 and 9, knows that first-hand. As a working mother, she has often done whatever it takes to make arrangements for child care. “Fortunately, for our young family, I was able to work a lot of nights and weekends and relied on the figure-it-out method as needed in-between,” Strickoff said, who works in real estate. “I begged friends and used drop-in day care facilities across town depending on where I needed to work that day. Those run from $7 to $9 per kid, per hour— $2 extra if the kiddo is in diapers.” Strickoff finds the situation particularly frustrating because in New Zealand, where she’s from, the government provides 20 hours of free child care to families to subsidize early education. “It has been a bit of a struggle for us to find child care in the past 10 years,” she said. “It would have been nice to have help in getting formative-year education at a subsidy ... whether or not there were two working parents in the house. I cannot imagine how single parents do it. It is such a financial burden.”
I have to watch twice as many kids as I did 10 years ago to earn the same amount of money and keep my prices competitive.”

explore her identity and relationship to the world. An introspective, inspiring and invigorating masterwork. Favorite song: “All Night” Best song to soundtrack a truly epic argument: “Don’t Hurt Yourself”
I sympathize. Options are endless for a song to replace “Pomp and Circumstance.” And let’s not be afraid to have some fun with the challenge. Does the replacement need to have a repetitive melody that can be played over and over on a loop? How about Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue?” Or the classic rock staple “Smoke on the Water?” Imagine watching students try to navigate a choreographed number in their robes? There’s also always the option to include a little sense of humor. Walking down the aisle to ‘90s R&B star Mark Morrison’s smash “Return of the Mack” would do everyone about to sit through an hours-long ceremony some serious good. Certainly AC/DC’s classic “Highway to Hell” would provide much-needed belly
laughs before settling in for an emotional ceremony. For my money, the best replacement would be Bob Dylan’s incendiary “Like A Rolling Stone,” because it asks an important question: How does it feel? To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown. Every graduate must come to grips with reality on some level as their high school career ends. It’s simply inconceivable that Elgar’s song hasn’t been topped since he wrote it. Nor do I believe “Pomp and Circumstance” was supposed to be the graduation song for the rest of time. After all, life is about moving forward and embracing change. Graduates are doing it. Why can’t we? Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he congratulates all graduates, their friends and family on making it through “Pomp and Circumstance” at their ceremonies. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share the song you’d replace “Pomp and Circumstance” with at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Innovation on display at Denver art gallery CVA has two exhibits running at same time
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Radical Compliance” and “Wayfinding to Stability” are showing concurrently at the Center for Visual Art, Metro State University’s gallery in the Santa Fe Art District, through July 2. Art teachers share work that responds to the contemporary school climate. A statement by CVA, (which is listed online as the home for the Colorado Art Education Association) about the exhibit sets the tone: “The burden of teaching innovation and working within institutional compliance lands squarely on art educators. Artists traditionally break molds, betray expectations and respond to current events and art teachers are no exception. As teachers, they are challenged with developing space for radical ideation while complying with assessment and evaluation standards. In this exhibition, Colorado art educators explore the opposing forces inherent in their profession through art. “Radical Compliance: A local chapter of the National Art Association, Colorado Education Association, is the leading professional membership organization exclusively for visual arts educators in Colorado working to advance visual arts education with the intent to fulfill human potential and promote global understanding. Teachers will share work that responds to the current school climate.” Also exhibited at CVA: “Wayfinding to Sustainability. Theory Loves Practice is a Metropolitan State University-sponsored research group that brings art educators together monthly to cultivate contemporary arts practices in our classrooms.” Upcoming events: May 20, 6 p.m., Living Catalog. Artists share reflections on their latest work in a forum for discussion.

Parker landmark’s future unknown Owners of historic home seek sale that won’t end in razing By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com When James and Victoria Newcomb built their modest house in 1911, they couldn’t picture how the Town of Parker would develop and evolve around it. More than a century later, Parker continues to grow and change around the Newcomb House, but Wayland and Marsha Britt can’t envision the town without it. “I just wish some remembrance of her could still be around,” Marsha Britt said, referring to Victoria Newcomb, a pillar of the early Parker community. The Britts own the house and lot on 10965 Pikes Peak Drive, but as they approach retirement they’ve decided to sell it. They’ve had offers and were even under contract at one point, but they haven’t cashed in. The Britts said buyers who’ve approached them so far wanted to raze the house, and that isn’t in their plans. The Town of Parker designated the house a landmark in 2007. Victoria Newcomb worked in town as a teacher and served as the postmaster for 34 years, and Marsha Britt is convinced that a gate in the yard’s fence was installed just so Newcomb could have a direct path to her job at the old post office across the street. The Britts wrote a letter to the Parker Town Council, offering to sell the property to the town with the agreement that the house remain intact. They also offered to donate the house, apart from the lot, to be relocated to Preservation Park. Town Administrator Randy Young, a self-proclaimed history buff, said he hopes the house will remain on Pikes Peak Drive. He said the house adds to the “old town feel” of the area. But he added that the town’s budget doesn’t include money for buying the property, and
The historic Newcomb House stands at 10965 Pikes Peak Drive in downtown Parker. Town Administrator Randy Young says he hopes a buyer will emerge to keep the house and possibly repurpose it. Photo by Tom Skelley moving the house to Preservation Park is unlikely. Young acknowledged the work Marsha Britt has put into the house to keep it in good condition and the efforts she and her husband have taken to improve the landscaping. He said he has been putting the word out to prospective buyers, though none have been found yet. “I’d love to see it repurposed or have it as a historic property, or even if someone bought it who wants to live there,” Young said. “Of course, someone’s going to have to have money to make that happen.” Wayland Britt said he thinks the house is an opportunity for the town to take the lead in historical preservation, but he understands that the town government

follows the lead of its citizens. For him, the issue isn’t about fighting city hall, he just wants to make sure Parker doesn’t lose its history. “It’s not about winning or losing,” Wayland said, “it’s more about how to make sure that (the house is) an educational resource for the future … At this point, it could go either way.” Janice Truskolaski, president of the Parker Area Historical Society, also expressed concern about preserving the Newcomb house. She said it is up to Parker citizens to get involved to protect landmarks like the house from being lost forever. “As new development continues in Parker, we have to make a conscious ef-
fort to save structures that have been here longer than we have. Our old buildings help maintain a sense of permanency and heritage,” Truskolaski said in an email. “Community support is our best chance to save places that matter.” Wayland Britt envisions Boy Scouts and Brownies touring the house, the coal shed and the outhouse with wide-eyed wonder for the way people lived in the early 1900s. But he understands history will be made whether the house stays or goes. “Even if the house gets lost, there’s history in that too,” he said. “Yeah, but it would be better if it stayed,” Marsha Britt added. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.”

Gathering ‘seems like old times again’ Mother’s Day weekend event had B-17, World War II vets By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com It had been 70 years since Len Estrin had been aboard a B-17 bomber before he began volunteering with Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum last year. “It was a lot of fun,” he said of getting to fly after all those years. “A big thrill.” Estrin served as a ball turret gunner on a B-17, also known as the Flying Fortress, in 1944 and 1945, a position that saw him manning a machine gun on the underside of the massive bomber on missions over Europe. He was initially training to be a pilot after enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Forces out of Chicago. “I got through with primary (flight training) and they said they didn’t need pilots anymore, they needed gunners,” he said. Flight crews were voluntary positions, but he still wanted to fly. “You have a choice,” he was told. “You can be a gunner, a gunner, or a gunner.” Estrin, who lives in Aurora, was among several World War II aviation veterans in attendance at the Wings Over the Rockies Blue Star Weekend at Centennial Airport on Mother’s Day weekend, an event honoring mothers of veterans. The weekend also featured several World War II-era warplanes, including a B-17 bomber, much like the one Estrin flew on, operated by the Experimental Aircraft Association of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. “The Aluminum Overcast,” as EAA’s plane is called, is one of only 10 airworthy B-17s remaining of the more than 12,000 that were built. Unlike Estrin, the plane is not a combat veteran, having

The plane is one of only 10 airworthy B-17s left. Photos by Kyle Harding been built too late to see service in the war. “It’s just a great weekend,” Wings Over the Rockies spokeswoman Colleen Murphy said. Another veteran in attendance was former P-51 Mustang fighter pilot David Wilhelm, one of the few remaining fighter aces from World War II, an honor bestowed among pilots credited with five or more aerial victories. “I think it’s fun to come out here and hear all the noise of those old reciprocal engines,” said Wilhelm, who lives in Denver. “It seems like old times again.” Wilhelm flew over Italy and other parts of southern Europe in 1944, protecting B-17s en route to their targets. He praised the B-17 pilots and crews for their courage, noting that they could not deviate from their flight paths to avoid danger

Mustangs win at Coors Field Ponderosa tops Northglenn 11-4 in non-conference game By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Ponderosa’s baseball team took the lead for good with two runs in the second inning and added insurance runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to make the final score 11-4 as they won the May 3 non-conference game against Northglenn at Coors Field. “We are basically a veteran team. We are playing pretty well but we need to play more consistently as we head into the final three games of the season. Those are important games and will have an im-
pact on whether or not we get into the playoffs,” Mustangs coach Bob Maloney said. “Our hitting has been our strength but, at times, we don’t play defense as well as we should. But this is a good team and I think we can make some noise if we can work our way into the Class 4A playoffs.” Key moments The game was close early and the Mustangs held a 2-1 lead when they came to bat in the home half of the fourth inning. Ponderosa collected a trio of hits and scored three runs to increase the lead to 5-1. The Mustangs continued to swing the bat, scoring two runs in the fifth inning and putting the game out of reach with four runs in the sixth inning.
Key players/statistics Eight Mustangs batters combined for 13 hits. Thomas Green had three hits including a pair of doubles and drove in a run while teammate Dane Grounds had three hits, including a double, that drove in five runs. Austin Narro had a pair of hits while Ryder Ghidotti, Reece Hall, Nick Wilson, Joe Maxie and Blake Mattey each had a single. Phil Emmette was the starting pitcher for the Mustangs. He pitched six innings, gave up four hits and no earned runs and struck out three. Myles Hammond came on in relief, pitched one inning, and gave up two hits and one run. They said it Maloney said being able
to play a game at Coors Field made it a great day for the players. “The varsity kids got to experience playing on the big league field and the young kids got to enjoy the day as well,” the coach said. “We got all the seniors in the game and every player on the roster got to contribute to our win today.” Senior Dane Grounds smiles as he talked about the game and the experience of playing on the Coors Field diamond. “It was a good game all around for us as our team really played well,” he said. “I had a good day. I was really seeing the ball well. One atbat, I came up with the bases loaded and you have to clutch in that situation. So I buckled
down, focused and I was able to hit the ball hard to drive in some runs for us.” He said getting to play at Coors Field made it a great day for all the players and coaches. “It is such a great opportunity,” Grounds said. “For most of us, it is our last opportunity to play baseball at Coors Field. It was also great that our whole team played well and we got the W today.” Going forward The Mustangs must now wait to see if they get into the post-season playoffs. The win over Northglenn raised the Mustangs’ record to 7-10 overall and they were 3-6 in the league with two league games left in the regular season that ended May 9.
Three grapplers take down wrestling awards

OVERTIME
Two former Douglas County High School wrestling coaches and a Legacy standout were honored May 7 at the Marriott Hotel in Colorado Springs. Mike Allison, who was head coach at Douglas County for six years before moving to Grand Junction, received the Lifetime of Service award by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame - Colorado Chapter. Rich Fell, a 1970 Douglas County graduate and undefeated state champion, accepted the Dave DeGiacomo award for his service as a board member. Fell was an assistant coach for the Huskies for six seasons, including the 1991 state runner-up team. Legacy senior Ryan Deakin took
home the Dave Shultz High School Excellence Award. Deakin placed four consecutive years at the state tournament, was a three-time finalist and two-time state champion. He wrapped up his prep career with 177 wins, which included 123 pins. Area soccer teams headed to Boise There will be 11 Denver-area teams competing in the U.S. Youth Soccer Region IV Far West Championships June 20-26 in Boise, Idaho. These teams won the recent Youth Soccer Colorado State Championships and included eight Real Colorado teams from Centennial. The Real boys U12, U13, U14, U15, U16 and U17 teams will be
playing next month in Idaho, along with the U13 and U14 Real girls teams. The Colorado United U12 girls team from Littleton also will be playing in the Far West Championships.

finished sixth.

Creek senior seeks another title State tennis tournaments slated for May 12-14 By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek senior Gloria Son is back in the Class 5A state tennis tournament, but once again, anyone interested will have to check the brackets to find out where she will be playing. As a freshman, Son won the state title at No. 2 singles. She was third at No. 1 singles in 2014 and won the No. 3 singles championship last spring. She has assumed the No. 1 singles role this season for the Bruins. Kalyssa Hall, the No. 1 singles runnerup last year, decided not to play but has remained in school. Anshika Singh, the 2015 No. 2 singles champion as a freshman for Creek, transferred to Smoky Hill. “I’m back to the spot I was my sophomore year,” said Son, who will be playing tennis next season at Army. “It is a different feel just because I’m an upperclassman.
I have the responsibility to keep my team upbeat. Tennis wise it’s not that different. “I feel I’m playing pretty well right now. State is coming up and I’m prepared with my team.” Cherry Creek advanced 11 of 11 possible players and easily won the Region 1 state qualifying tournament May 4 and 5, which was held at Creek. Son didn’t lose a game in claiming the regional title with three wins. “At the beginning of the season because the team didn’t know each other well and we had never hit with each other, it was a different feel,” said Son. “Now that we are at the point where we are in the season, I’m really confident with my team and I know we will do well.” The Class 5A tournament is set for May 12-14 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver. The 4A tournament is set for Pueblo City Park the same days. Cherry Creek has won 19 consecutive state titles and 33 overall, but Fairview, Fossil Ridge and Mountain Vista appear to have teams with the talent to make a title run.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 9, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re the first sign in the Zodiac and like to take the lead wherever you go. But this time, you’d be wise to follow someone who has much to teach you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your adversary hasn’t given up trying to undermine you. Continue to stay cool -- someone in authority knows what’s happening. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Spring brings a positive aspect for relationships. Paired Twins grow closer, while the single set finds new romance -- perhaps with a Leo or Libra. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Wavering aspects this week mean weighing your words carefully to avoid misunderstandings. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You could soon be on a new career path in pursuit of those long-standing goals, but don’t cut any current ties until you’re sure you’re ready to make the change. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A former colleague wants to re-establish an old professional connection. It would be wise to make the contact, at least until you know what he or she is planning. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A relationship that survived some rocky moments could be facing a new challenge. Deal with the problem openly, honestly and without delay. Good luck.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A friend needs your kind and caring advice, but you need to know what he or she is hiding from you before you agree to get involved.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your circle of friends continues to widen. Expect to hear from someone in your past who hopes to re-establish your once-close relationship. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your aspects favor the arts. Indulge in whatever artistic expression you enjoy most. A workplace situation will, I’m pleased to say, continue to improve. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Warning! Your tendency to let things slide until the last minute could have a negative effect on a relationship that you hope can develop into something meaningful. BORN THIS WEEK: You are both emotional and sensible. You enjoy being with people. Good career choices include teaching, performing and the clergy. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
