Former Parker administrator named to Littleton post City fills three vacant leadership positions BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A former Parker town administrator who resigned last month has been appointed acting deputy city manager for Littleton.
Randy Young will begin his role in Littleton on June 12. Young replaces Mike Braaten, who resigned last month to accept the position of deputy executive director with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. “Randy will be able to Young hit the ground running,” City Manager Mark Relph
said. “He brings a wealth of experience in city management, including 20 years as a city manager and five years as an assistant city administrator.” Parker town spokeswoman Elise Penington said that members of town council accepted Young’s resignation on May 15, but said she was not certain whether the resignation was anticipated by town staff. Young was not present at the council’s public meeting that evening.

My mom has been working as a dental hygienist for 35 years. I have an older brother who lives in Denver and works in accounting. My family has been so supportive of me, but my grandma has always been my biggest cheerleader. There is no better feeling than when she tells me she is proud of me.

‘Her goal in life was ... to make somebody smile’ HOW YOU CAN HELP
BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rylie Guentensberger was a girl who always wanted to make other people smile. “Honestly, that was her goal in life, was always to make somebody smile,” Rylie’s father, Ziggy, said. Rylie, 12, and her mother Meghann were shopping at the RNK Running & Walking store at 13019 S. Parker Road on April 29 when a car crashed into the store soon after 3 p.m., injuring five others and leaving Rylie in a coma until her death on May 26. At their Castle Rock home on June 6, Guentensberger’s parents and brother, 11-year-old Tanner, took time to thank the community for the support they’ve received and to make their first public statements since the accident. “She was the one who always would smile at somebody or pull them along and say `have a great day,’ ” Meghann said. She told a story to illustrate her point. “I had a kid that Rylie went to school with come up to me and say `Mrs. G, she took time every day to say hi to me, every single day… and I started carrying her picture with me when she couldn’t finish seventh grade with me,’ ” Meghann said. Earlier in the day, Josh Hans, public information officer for the Parker Police Department, announced the department wouldn’t pursue charges against
The Guentensberger family is asking that donations in their daughter Rylie’s memory be made to three causes in lieu of flowers: • The Dumb Friends League and the Buddy Center • Books for a free community library at Festival Park • Items for goody bags for families of children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Hospital Colorado Meghann and Ziggy Guentensberger pause to reflect on their daughter Rylie’s life and memory at a press conference at their home in Castle Rock. Ziggy says they have been “lifted up” by the support they’ve received from the community. TOM SKELLEY the driver, citing a medical condition as causing the accident. Meghann and Ziggy said they’ve already forgiven the driver, just as they know their daughter would have. “There’s no hard feelings,” Ziggy said. “Accidents happen.” “We’ve realized that we have two choices,” Meghann said. “We can let it beat us down or learn from it and grow from it, and we know that’s exactly what Rylie would have wanted.” The outpouring of support the family has received “lifted the family up,” Ziggy said. There were neighbors who landscaped the family’s lawn, social media posts from around the world offering
comfort, even a woman who cut Ziggy’s hair earlier in the day, his first haircut since the day of the accident. “That’s been extremely powerful,” he said, “and I think that’s been one of the blessings that Rylie gave us that we didn’t realize until now.” Almost every day between the accident and Rylie’s death, Meghann posted updates on her daughter’s condition and observations on her own experience on Facebook. Meghann taught English at Aspen View Academy in Castle Rock — where Rylie was a seventh-grader — last year and will move to Castle View High School in the fall. She said writing has been therapy for her, and for Tanner,
The family is hosting a community gathering with food trucks, hikes and games in Rylie’s honor at Philip S. Miller Park, 1375 W. Plum Creek Parkway, Castle Rock, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on June 24. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to share. who began journaling after the accident. “It’s my way of keeping Rylie alive,” she said. “If anyone else happens to read those words and take something from them, that’s kind of awesome.” One of Meghann’s Facebook posts mentioned how, since the accident, she’s been taking more time to enjoy little moments she was too busy to appreciate before. “Those are things we will take and grow from,” Meghann said. “Hopefully, everyone can pause, take a minute to say `yes’ and have a memory instead of an argument.”

South Metro Fire Rescue sues urban renewal authority Fire district claims PAR ‘siphoning off’ tax dollars BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
South Metro Fire Rescue has filed a lawsuit against the Parker Authority for Reinvestment, alleging the urban renewal authority illegally diverted taxpayer funds to reimburse private investors and that it skirted legal requirements before using those funds for economic development projects. The suit was filed in Douglas County District Court in Castle Rock on June 5. It also names as defendants Douglas County Assessor Lisa Frizell and county Treasurer Diane Holbert. “The Parker Authority for Reinvestment is siphoning off money that is voter-approved for fire protection services. People in Parker shouldn’t have to choose between public safety and economic development,” South Metro Fire Chief Bob Baker said in a news release. The suit claims PAR did not incur debt or issue bonds before using taxincrement financing for economic projects, as required by Colorado law. The suit also alleges PAR used taxpayer dollars to reimburse a private developer for use taxes and excise taxes imposed by the town. State law doesn’t allow urban renewal authorities to reimburse private developers for taxes imposed by a municipality, the release states. Elise Penington, Parker’s communications director, issued the following statement via email: “We received a copy of the lawsuit against the Parker Authority for Reinvestment (on June 6) and it is currently under review,” she said. “We have no further comment at
‘The Parker Authority for Reinvestment is siphoning off money that is voterapproved for fire protection services.’ Bob Baker, South Metro Fire chief this time.” The suit alleges that South Metro has been deprived of more than $300,000 in lost revenue and estimates that over a 25-year span of PAR will lose more than $16 million. The lawsuit asks the district court to stop funds from going to the urban renewal authority. “We’ve tried for many years to negotiate an agreement to allow Parker to continue its economic development activities and maintain adequate funding for fire protection,” Baker said. “This is our only option at this point.” South Metro provides fire-protection services to Parker and numerous other nearby communities, including Centennial, Lone Tree and Castle Pines.
Martial arts studio employee arrested on sex charges STAFF REPORT

Commissioner, sheriff’s office differ on tax proposal T

c p a
Lora Thomas wants to restructure Justice Center tax to find money for roads and transportation
g
p c e o s
BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As a 2016 candidate for the Douglas County commissioner’s seat in District 3, Lora Thomas began floating a recommendation to restructure a longstanding tax that supports the county’s justice center. She wanted more money for roads and transportation projects and the Justice Center Fund was the pot to take it from, she said. Now as commissioner, Thomas remains steadfast in her belief that the fund has served its purpose. “The mission is accomplished,” she says emphatically. But the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office disagrees just as forcefully. Chief Deputy Tim Moore questions whether the proposal robs Peter to pay Paul. Sheriff Tony Spurlock and Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth say touching the Justice Center Fund would be a mistake. “It isn’t finished,” Spurlock says, referring to Thomas’ “mission-accomplished” platform. Why the tax should be restructured The Justice Center Fund, or the Justice Center Sales and Use Tax, is 0.43 percent of the county’s 1 percent sales tax. Voters agreed to implement the Justice Center Sales and Use Tax first in 1995 with a vision to pay for the construction, operation and maintenance of a new $41 million justice center in Castle Rock, which was completed in 1999. Voters extended the tax in 2007 for SEE TAX, P7
AMENDING A COUNTY TAX To amend an existing Douglas County tax, the county must follow a two-step process, County Attorney Lance Ingalls said. First, the board of commissioners must vote to send a proposed change to the voters. Then, the voters must approve the change or changes. “Any meeting to consider such a request must ‘at a minimum’ comply with Colorado open meetings laws,” Ingalls said in an email statement. “This issue is scheduled for a special business meeting and public notice will be provided accordingly.” Commissioners have scheduled a special business meeting at 5 p.m. on June 13 in the commissioners’ hearing room, 100 Third St. The board will hear from Commissioner Lora Thomas about her recommendation to amend the Justice Center Sales and Use Tax and also will hear from the public to gather opinions of the proposal.

continued operation and maintenance, plus capital needs of the justice center and related facilities. The remainder of the county sales tax goes to open space and roads. Throughout the years, the fund supported not only the construction of the county justice center but also multiple expansion projects and the construction of related facilities, such as the sheriff ’s substation in Highlands Ranch. Thomas believes it’s time for the county to consider reallocating about half of the fund to roads and transportation. “I know that there are roads that need to be fixed, there are bridges that need to be fixed,” Thomas said. “The county is responsible for storm water and, as we do more building, we need to control that storm water better.” She names the I-25 Gap as the biggest project needing county money. The Colorado Department of Transportation is in the process of finding money for a $300 million to $500 million project to improve a two-lane stretch of Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument. As for which county-owned roads and bridges need attention, Thomas says she wants to hear more from the public. But she also believes constituents want more east-west roads. “The number of roads we have like Ridgegate and Lincoln are pretty limited,” she said of the streets in Lone Tree. “It’s that kind of out-of-the-box thinking that I really want to hear from the citizens.” Thomas says her idea grew out from the “thousands” of voices she heard on the campaign trail, and through a survey she conducted before launching her campaign. In her survey, which polled likely Republican primary election voters in the county, 32 percent of 335 respondents named growth as their top priority and also mentioned traffic, infrastructure and water under that umbrella. She singled in on the Justice Center Fund, she says, because of her background in law enforcement and knowledge of running budgets. Thomas served for 26 years in the Colorado State Patrol as a captain and a major. She also served a four-year term as the Douglas County coroner from 2011-15. With a completed justice center, she says it’s again time to look at where those tax dollars should go.
Why the tax should stay the same A portion of the Justice Center Fund dedicated to capital needs will sunset in 2020. Thomas is proposing to reallocate that, plus some of the maintenance and operation funds to roads, as soon as possible and without waiting until 2020. Thomas says doing so would mean the county’s growth-related needs could receive nearly $14 million while the Justice Center Fund would still retain about $12 million. A change to the tax would require voter approval and a question on the November ballot. But sending a question to the voters first requires approval from the three-member Board of County Commissioners. Thomas will present her recommendation on June 13 to her fellow commissioners at a special business meeting, where they will also seek to gather
‘THE GAP’ ON I-25 Between Castle Rock and Monument runs a 17-mile, four-lane stretch of Interstate 25 that’s made a name for itself — although not for good reasons. “The Gap,” as it’s known, creates what local law enforcement have said is a hazardous bottleneck effect, presenting safety issues for travelers along the interstate. The Colorado Department of Transportation has been working to expedite getting the project ready for construction. The department hopes that shovels can hit the ground in 2019, but it must first find between $300 million and $500 million in funding.
BY THE NUMBERS Douglas County officials and commissioners are already working toward that goal: They have traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with the Colorado delegation and joined a coalition of leaders throughout the Front Range working to secure those dollars. At the time the coalition was announced in late April, Douglas County was unsure of how it would contribute financially. But board Chairman Roger Partridge has said the county is a ready and willing partner on the project. In addition to improving safety on that stretch, Douglas County officials also hope improving the roadway will act as an economic catalyst for the state.
‘I know that there are roads that need to be fixed, there are bridges that need to be fixed.’ Lora Thomas, Douglas County commissioner
‘The (road) issues that we have in Douglas County are federal issues and state issues.’ Tony Spurlock, Douglas County sheriff public input. Ultimately, she wants a question sent to voters in November. Commissioners Roger Partridge and David Weaver declined to comment on the proposal, saying they wanted to first hear what citizens have to say. But Spurlock knows where he stands. He says he’ll have no need for the sunsetting portion after 2020, but before then he has a list of projects he’s ready to pursue. Those include an expanded emergency operations center, a work-release facility or a combined dispatch center. At least one of those could be completed in the near future on the last vacant lot at the justice center, he said. He also maintains the justice center sales tax was never designed to pay for roads, and especially roads the county is not responsible for, such as the I-25 Gap. “The (road) issues that we have in Douglas County are federal issues and state issues,” Spurlock said. And although he’s no opponent to the county’s partnering on state or federal projects, or the basic desire to fix county roads, he’s protective of the Justice Center Fund. “The Justice Center Sales Tax has been a value to the citizens of Douglas County for 18 years,” he said. “We’re blessed. And I think the people should hear that.” He also notes that the tax doesn’t affect residents’ property tax. And, he said, between 60 percent and 65 percent of the sales tax revenue comes from
non-residents — which is the percentage of inmates in the jail who Spurlock says were non-residents but committed crimes in the county. Officials who proposed the Justice Center Sales and Use tax knew that developments such as the Outlets at Castle Rock and the growth of Highlands Ranch would change the county, Spurlock said. “The justice center sales tax is doing exactly what its original authors and those who voted for it suggested.” What citizens think Still, Thomas’ idea has landed well with some of her constituents. Peter Smith, who lives south of Castle Rock, is a business owner and retired truck driver who became acquainted with Thomas and her proposal during her campaign. He said he’s alarmed by multiple high-dollar projects supported by the Justice Center Fund and favors restructuring the tax. Smith pointed to the county’s approval of a new $6.8 million vehicle training facility for law enforcement, for which the county received a $3.3 million donation to cover about half the project budget. Moore said they expect the project to come in under budget, with a final impact on the Justice Center Fund of about $3 million. Commissioners also pledged more than $20 million for a regional crime lab beginning construction in northern Douglas County this summer. That will
• Since its initiation in 1996, the Justice Center Fund has generated more than $360 million in revenue. • The Douglas County Justice Center was completed in 1999 and cost approximately $41 million. • In 2006, an expansion project at the county justice center cost about $27 million. A later expansion beginning in 2012 and finishing in 2014 totaled $30 million. • A sheriff’s office substation constructed in Highlands Ranch cost $9.6 million. • A public safety radio tower expect to be completed this year will cost between $11 million and $12 million, including a $3 million contribution from the 911 Board. • Commissioner Lora Thomas’ recommendation to transfer 0.23 of the Justice Center Fund to roads and transportation would translate to about $43 million over the next three years, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office estimates. Sources: Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth and the Douglas County Assistant Director of Finance Martha Marshall be fully covered by the Justice Center Fund. Jay Jacobson of Castle Rock, who works in real estate investment, considers the spending by the Sheriff ’s Office to be “extravagant,” and points to the previous justice center expansions such as the medical unit and the parking garage. He’d rather see county roads resurfaced and expanded. Both Smith and Jacobson said growth has deepened the need for road and transportation spending, including partnering on the I-25 Gap. “I believe that those funds from 2018 to ‘20 could much better be used on infrastructure that the justice center,” Jacobson said. “I think the citizens would be better served.” But the fund has a loyal supporter in Pat Perlinger, who lives in northern unincorporated Douglas County. Perlinger served on the political action committee that got the tax on the ballot in 1995. He said he’d never been politically active before, but after touring the county jail and seeing its deteriorating conditions, he became involved. In watching the fund support projects like the joint regional crime lab, he says the county has made good investments with the tax dollars. “The only reason they can do that stuff is because of the taxes that we got passed,” he said. “I think they’ve been good stewards of the money.” Like Spurlock, Perlinger says the sunset due in 2020 would be an appropriate time to reallocate funds toward other uses, but taking away from maintenance and operation money is a mistake. While the funds for capital needs will sunset in 2020, the Justice Center Fund money dedicated to maintenance and operation was approved in perpetuity by voters in 2007. “The portion of it that’s suppose to stay with the sheriff ’s department should stay with it,” Perlinger said. “The people voted twice on that issue.”

Elementary students host conservation carnival for oceans BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It was sunny and dry outside Pine Lane Elementary on May 31, but the students within all had water on their minds. More than 500 students from third-, fourth- and fifth-grade classes at the school joined their efforts to organize “The Great Ocean Rescue Carnival,” designing games to raise awareness and funds for ocean conservation. “Most of the fish that are being killed off are dying from overfishing. We’re trying to raise money to stop it,” said fifth-grader Christian Dudnick, who created a version of the popular “Price Is Right” game “Plinko” with partner Graham Blocher. “If we keep this up, the human race could die off,” Blocher added. The idea began near the beginning of the school year with 18 students deciding they

To the (ocean) rescue wanted to help address issues including overfishing, endangered marine life, pollution and warming ocean temperatures threatening coral reefs. Thirty-five students designed carnival games with marine themes like “Save the Sea Stars” selling tickets for the chance to win candy and prizes while raising money for a higher, wetter purpose. “Mostly it raises awareness, so the kids will know about something important that’s going on in the world outside of Parker,” said third-grade teacher Jennifer Hall. “At first they were shocked at how pollution affects the ocean. They couldn’t believe the things they could do to help.” The young carnies’ collective efforts raised more than $1,800, which will be distributed among four ocean-focused nonprofits: Five Gyres, the World Wildlife Fund, Sea Shepherds and Ocean Conservancy. More information about the students’ work and the organizations they contributed to is available on the Great Ocean Rescue website at: sites.google.com/dcsdk12. org/plegreatoceanrescue/ home.

‘Move Over for Cody’ bill signed into law Measure increases penalty for not moving over for emergency vehicles
on Interstate 25 near Castle Rock in 2016, was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 1. The “Move Over for Cody” bill increases the penalty for failing to follow Colorado’s “Move Over” law, which requires drivers to slow down or change lanes when passing a stationary emergency vehicle or towing carrier. It was sponsored by state Rep. Polly Lawrence, RRoxborough Park, state Sen. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, and state Rep.
BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A bill named in honor of fallen Colorado State Trooper Cody Donahue, who was struck and killed
Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Steamboat Springs. The penalty was increased from a class A traffic offense to a class 1 misdemeanor — with fines ranging from $500 to $5,000 — if a driver causes bodily injury, and to a class 6 felony — which could include prison time and a fine of up to $100,000 — if a driver causes the death of another person. “Drivers, when you see law enforcement or emergency vehicles on
the sides of roadways, please slow down, move over and give them room to do their job and get home safely to their family,” Lawrence said in a news release. “We have seen the tragic result of drivers who failed to pay attention, and I hope the stiffer penalties in this new law serve as a potent reminder to move over for our law enforcement and first responders.” Senate Bill 229 will go into effect Sept. 1.

Summer tourism heats up in local communities Outdoor recreation a big draw across the metro area
IN DOUGLAS COUNTY A report from the Colorado Tourism Office shows visitors have a major impact on the Douglas County economy.
BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Tourism is a major industry in Colorado, with nearly 78 million visitors spending $19.1 billion in 2015, according to the Colorado Tourism Office. In the summer, outdoor recreation opportunities draw tourists by the thousands to locations throughout the metro area. This helps generate money for the economies of local cities and counties, as these visitors often patronize restaurants and retail locations near their primary destination. Consider these major draws, just to name a handful: In the west metro area, there are Red Rocks, Clear Creek, Green Mountain and Bear Creek Lake. The north metro area has the outdoor water recreation park Water World. And the south metro area boasts a trio of popular state parks: Castlewood Canyon, Chatfield and Roxborough. “It makes sense that people visiting our state want to be outside,” said
According to the Colorado Travel Impacts report, in 2015 the impact of overnight travelers in the county accounted for: • 2,813 jobs • $70.7 million in earnings • $280.4 million in travel spending

Jeffco Open Space covers more than 54,000 acres in Jefferson County and includes 29 regional parks and 236 miles of trail systems. In 2016, an estimated 2.4 million people visited Jeffco Open Space areas. “We call Jeffco the gateway to the Rockies,” Matthews said. “It’s really
easy for people to get outdoors and have a great experience.” Jeffco: A case in point With activities like hiking, biking, climbing, fishing, bird watching, horseback riding and camping available in Jeffco parks, Sam Bailey, president and CEO of the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation,
said it’s easy to see the outdoor recreation community in full swing. “The density you’ll feel definitely goes up in the summertime with people utilizing outdoor recreation and cultural amenities,” Bailey said. The world-renowned concert venue Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, just outside Golden, is also a big draw for tourism in Jeffco, Bailey said. “Red Rocks and the concert series that goes on there arguably pull a lot of activity and spending into the county 5 for people coming in to see a concert.” T The amphitheater not only hosts w large concerts, but in the summer it is b F c SEE TOURISM, P11

also home to several specialty events, including Yoga on the Rocks and Film on the Rocks. The music venue is also surrounded by 738 acres of Red Rocks Mountain Park, which includes hiking and biking trails along with geological wonders. The park is one of more than 10 mountain parks run by the City of Denver. With visitors from both in state and out of state, Bailey said that Jefferson County sees tourism dollars in a myriad of ways, including lodging, foods and gas. Tourist dollars not only help the local economy, Matthews said, it also helps maintain the open space parks because a half-cent sales tax goes back to Jeffco Open Space.
“Anybody spending money in the county is contributing to conserve land for generations to come,” Matthews said. The great outdoors Outdoor recreation companies also see a spike in business in the summer months. One company that does all its business during summer is Colorado Watersports, a water sport rental company located on the shore of Roxbourough Bay on Chatfield Reservoir inside the state park just southwest of Littleton. Boating is among the park’s most popular activities and the reservoir can be quite busy during the summer season, which runs May to September. Getting people on the water is Colorado Watersports sole purpose. “Our clientele is anybody
who wants to get outside,” said Audra Tromly, summer camp director at Colorado Watersports, which is run by its parent company Victoria Sailing School. Colorado Watersports opened last year with rentals of stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, sailboats and corcls — a popular new round boat for kids. This year, the company hopes to quadruple last year’s rentals, Tromly siad. “The ultimate goal is that all our equipment is out on the water.” In Castle Rock, Philip S. Miller Park is becoming a draw for not only Castle Rock residents but also outof-towners. The 320-acre park boasts 7.4 miles of nativesurface trail networks and a 200-step challenge hill. The park, which is run by the city, is also home to privately operated Castle
Rock Zip Line Tours — a zip line course with 10 lines stretched throughout the park’s ridgelines — and the privately operated Epic Adventure Tower, which allows users to scale a 40-foot climbing wall, zip and jump from a 40-foot platform or choose to free fall from a 70foot platform. The addition of the 2,000seat amphitheater last year is starting to attract bigger national acts in its second season of summer concerts. For example, multi-platinum country duo Thompson Square will perform at the amphitheater on June 10. ‘Busy all day long’ For Jean Gordon, director of the Arvada Visitors Center, celebrating classic outdoor recreation activities is a great way to bring vibrancy to a city. “Residents patronize the
business, but when you’re a tourist, you need to be busy all day long,” Gordon said. “That is valuable revenue for any city.” One way that the city of Arvada capitalizes on those tourism dollars is by hosting large events. The city hosts a springtime kite festival, but also an event called Sand in the City — a beach party featuring large sand sculptures at Ralston Park. The event draws 40 percent of its visitors from out of town, Gordon said. And with 6,000 people visiting Arvada each summer, the city needs to capitalize on that influx. “We hope that they drive through the town and check something else out, too,” Gordon said. “We want to ensure that we’re putting these businesses in the forefront, that the hotel is filled, and that these small businesses are seeing new faces.”

Parker 18-year-old starts own comic company
J
BY TOM SKELLEY | TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
ust before completing his high school home education, Richard Nyquist began a career in the resurgent field of comic books, with the modern twist of being published online. Nyquist will attend Cedarville University in Ohio in the fall to major in mechanical engineering, but he wouldn’t complain if his comic, MOST, takes off and he can turn his dream of telling stories through his art into a career. The comic can be found on Nyquist’s website: mostcomics. com.

How does your online comic compare to print comics? I did some of the character design and some of the layouts on paper with pencil, but I did the pages digitally on an iPad Pro using the app Procreate. I’ve released the cover and the first six or seven pages online so far. I’ve finished all of issue one, but it’s scheduled to be released one page per week. I have a plan to do
12 issues and then, hopefully, after that there will be enough demand to have it out in print. I’ve been checking Google Analytics to see how many views it’s getting. So far, the average is a little over 1,000 page views a week.
2
Comics have made a comeback. Did that affect your decision to go into the field?
It’s encouraging, but I think I would have done this even if people didn’t have that interest. I just love drawing superheroes. As far as my interest in comics goes, my dad has an extensive collection. I always just loved reading them and I’ve always loved drawing. As far as the revival of comic books, I haven’t read that many of the recent comic books since I’m more into the ‘60s and ‘70s, but I do really enjoy that there are people who didn’t even know who Dr. Strange was and now everybody likes him.

What is MOST about? The story’s about two teenage superheroes, Ion and Echo. Their idol, Safeguard, leaves suddenly. He’s been protecting the city for a long time, and one day they just kind of notice, “Hey, he’s not here anymore,” and they have to put up with all of the villains who come out of the woodwork. It’s them trying to be better superheroes, they’re not really sidekicks, but they’re definitely not A-listers in the superhero world. SEE NYQUIST, P16

Lutheran launches ‘fearless’ grads BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lutheran High School celebrated the accomplishments and character of the class of 2017 with a commencement ceremony at Southeast Christian Church in Parker on May 26. Principal David Ness sang the Class of 2017’s praises during his speech and offered advice with what he called his “high five” of guidelines: doing little things well, always getting up after setbacks, taking control of their attitude and effort, being bold in their faith and remembering that they are not alone. “Over the last four years, I have seen an intelligent, talented, creative, and athletic class continually serve others, perform, create and achieve on so many different levels,” Ness said. Valedictorian Stephanie Norris said her time at “LuHi” taught her to seek truth, and to have faith that God has a plan for each graduate at the ceremony. “Actively search for your answers and do not be close minded,” Norris said. “Gain perspective and remember that He has a plan for all of us.” Hannah Holm, another valedictorian who spoke at the com-

For too many young people, school days become cruel days
was in sixth grade the first time I heard about bullying. One of my classmates at Acacia Elementary in Fullerton, California, had a brother at the junior high school I would be attending the following year. “Chris” told me about “pantsing.” I had nightmares. However, he never mentioned slaps or punches. Mostly just humorous pranks. I think the humor in pranking is one-sided, and imbecilic. It turns out that nothing happened in junior high school. When I was a freshman in high school, the varsity quarterback knuckled my sternum for no apparent reason. There were others around when he did it. Maybe that was the point: Let
others know that you are the BMOC. It never occurred to me to bully a freshman when I became a senior. I left it for the dummies. There are always a few, aren’t there? I read an Associate Press article headlined “Sex crimes increase in schools; bullying persists.” I am not surprised. “One in five middle and high school students has complained of being bullied at school; and the number of reports of sexual assaults on college campuses has more than tripled over the past decade, according to a federal study. “The picture was bleaker for gay, lesbian, and bisexual students.” I haven’t done the research, but my guess is
S LETTER TO THE EDITOR Charting the wrong course? As the Douglas County School Board continues to approve more charters for next school year, is there a need? The district already has most curricular areas covered with the various charters and with limited growth forecast, are we fighting over students? Are neighborhood schools at risk of a decrease in enrollment with more charters are taking their students? Are charter schools at risk of attempting to lure students from one another? Are parents willing to risk boundary changes or school closures as their neighborhood school decreases in enrollment? Maybe it is time for the Board to take a step back on approving more char-

ters and wait for the impact study on charters to provide data on risks to the district. The excuse has been used that if they don’t approve, a charter will go to the state for approval and lose what little control they have. I contend making any new charter jump through hoops is not bad because it buys the district time to evaluate and will get a second chance for approval once it comes back from the state. Parents have to evaluate the risks on their school as district continues to approve charters. Parents need to voice concerns or suffer potential consequences they may not like to accept — but reality is around the corner. Dave Usechek Parker ERIN ADDENBROOKE Majors/Classified Manager

How we respond is the one thing we can truly control
ometimes situations or events occur that are completely outside of our control. We are living in a world surrounded by such situations and events every day, and unfortunately that means we are also inundated with news stories and opinions from every part of the globe. Some of the stories are extremely difficult and troubling, even heartbreaking. And others are very serious and need to have the immediate attention and focus of the world’s brightest and best to try and find a solution. And somewhere amidst the heartbreak and seriousness of certain situations, others find it necessary to point blame, find fault, or make fun of the situation or the person or people at the center of some of the most troubling events. There is an old saying that I find as a source of peace and balance as I watch the news, not knowing what is fake or real anymore, and as I sort through the opinions of others. And that saying goes like this, “We cannot control what happens to us, or what is happening around us, we can only control how we respond to what happens to us or around us.” It sure is easy to respond and jump on the bandwagon of something that seems to be funny at the time, that is until we find out that what we are laughing at or who we are laughing with is causing

If we truly found our balance and peace in knowing what it is that we can control, we would identify very quickly that we can control our own thoughts, our own actions, and follow our own belief system.

Colorado lawmakers showed true leadership this year
ommunities thrive when their leaders come together to support the crucial entities that make them strong— things like education, healthcare and transportation, among others. We place great trust in our elected officials to make decisions that strengthen and improve these key elements and, in turn, our communities. This legislative session, despite long hours, heated debates and numerous negotiations, we are incredibly pleased that our state leaders honored their commitment to community. This year, a state budget crisis threatened key community institutions, especially in rural areas. And on the last day of the state legislative session, the Colorado General Assembly gave final approval to a bill that is the key to solving this crisis.

ence between right and wrong, it would be so much easier to defend our minds, our hearts, and our spirit against the daily attacks of a system that seems bent on dragging us into conspiracy theories, drama, lies, bullying, corruption, and scandals. Disillusionment, or the art of illusion, has become perfected. Our only guard and defense mechanism is to become inspired, truly inspired to protect what it is we know to be true and not just react to what we see others doing and jumping on any and every bandwagon “just because” others are on it. As a matter of fact, most times bandwagons are already too overcrowded anyway. We would become just another rider. So maybe we are better served to do
GUEST COLUMN Heidi Baskfield
A bipartisan bill in both the Senate and the House with strong sponsorship from both rural and urban lawmakers, the legislation re-creates the state’s Hospital Provider Fee program in a separate fund, saving hospitals like Children’s Hospital Colorado from massive cuts, while honoring the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) by lowering the state revenue cap. The bill negates $528 million in planned cuts to Colorado hospitals and supports rural communities via investments in education and transportation, all without raising taxes. If Senate Bill 267 had failed, the Hospital Provider Fee would have continued to disrupt the state General Fund and hospitals would have continued to be slashed to
as Robert Frost wrote so prophetically in 1916 in his poem, “The Road Not Taken,” “... I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in the wood, and I - took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” The road less traveled by is our own belief system and not the belief system of a group or society. Have you traveled it yourself lately? Have you chosen to respond to what you know to be true instead of reacting to what you have seen others do or say? I would love to hear all about how you stay in control of what you know you can control at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we take the road less traveled by, it really will be a better than good week.

balance the budget, impacting hospitals across the state, causing some rural hospitals to close and patients to lose access to care. That’s not to say it was easy. Both political parties made major compromises to ultimately reach an agreement, demonstrating their resolve to put constituents first. We recognize the bill isn’t perfect. At Children’s Colorado, there are parts of SB-267 that wouldn’t be our preference, but we knew it was the answer to greater issues, and we appreciate that legislators on both sides of the aisle also recognized the greater good within the bill. The bill sponsors—Senators Jerry Sonnenberg and Lucia Guzman and Representatives KC Becker and Jon Becker—showed what leadership looks like, refusing to quit because they knew how high
the stakes were for their constituents. We also want to thank the Adams and Arapahoe County legislators who did right by Colorado in supporting SB-267: Senators Kevin Priola, Jack Tate, Nancy Todd and Rhonda Fields, and Representatives Dafna Michaelson-Jenet, Dominique Jackson and Mike Weissman. The collaboration it took to pass SB-267 should serve as a model of what can happen when leaders come together to support the communities they represent. As Colorado’s largest safety net healthcare provider for children, we thank these lawmakers for doing what’s right for kids and what’s right for Colorado.

(The Cincinnati Enquirer). Maybe you have seen the video. It’s heartbreaking. But it’s not a complete anomaly. Google: “bullied, commits suicide.” We pick on each other, and always have. Maybe there is a “survival of the fittest” explanation in there somewhere. And it’s not only boys being boys. It’s girls being girls too. Typically, I don’t have any answers. I have noticed that respect for others has taken a back seat to self-absorption, however. Have you ever observed a customer on the phone at the register? That’s an increment of bullying.

If little Johnny follows the news and has read about Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar, Bill Cosby, Bill O’Reilly, the Marines photo scandal and others, what might little Johnny think? “And crown thy good with brotherhood,” with occasional exceptions for harassment, homophobia and sexism. And then there is the internet. I’ll leave the role the internet plays in all of this to sociologists.

Where did the idea come from? My dad and I did a lot of brainstorming about ideas, but I got attached to the characters, even before I had the story with Safeguard. At the time I just called them Black and Silver, because those were the color of their costumes. I think it’s kind of a coming-of-age type story. They’re trying to be superheroes, but they’re not

What’s your favorite comic? I love SpiderMan, that’s always been my favorite especially when it was being written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita Sr. Those are done so well as character stories — I care about what happens to Peter Parker. Stan Lee could write a story and make it feel like it’s a really big deal, even if it’s just about a teenager going through his issues.

is the season — for grill scraping and sirloin marinating on patios throughout the state. But not for vegetarians, who often end up buying the same frozen veggie burger, not eating or not showing up at all to these meat-centralized social events. Andy Floyd, executive chef at Kitchen Table Cooking School in Greenwood Village, believes that an entire category of food is being ignored: vegetables. “When you start to put different vegetables on the grill, you have a whole new category to experiment with,” Floyd said. “Anything you pick up in the produce section can have a place on the grill.” Floyd has taught culinary arts for 18 years. He started teaching after working in the industry for 10 years, in three-star Michelin restaurants in France and Washington, D.C. Anything that can be cooked on the stove can be cooked on a grill, Floyd said. Grilling any food, Floyd said, gives it a distinguishable char from high-heat searing and generates a taste not found in any other cooking method. “You get this whole different flavor profile that you don’t get on the stove,” Floyd said. “You start to think of combining other vegetables as the main event.” Throughout his cooking career, Floyd’s experiments on the grill have led to some delicious discoveries. Here, he shares his favorite ways to grill veggies. Potatoes Cutting a potato in half, season it with oils and spices, then grill it on each side. If you lightly mash the potato into the grill, Floyd said, there will be more charred flavoring.
Portobello mushrooms These are a “no brainer” when it comes to grilling veggies, Floyd said. These mushrooms absorb liquids well, allowing them to hold endless flavors. Eggplants After salting slices of eggplant, Floyd adds olive oil and grills until the slices are charred on each side. This is one of his favorite vegetables to grill. Carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, beets When these veggies are grilled, their natural sugars create a caramelized char on the vegetable. Cut them into chunks. Sweet onions After peeling off the outer skin, cut the onion in half along the outer equator. Put powdered bouillon, vinegar, salt and pepper on the inside. Close up the onion and grill inside aluminum foil. For an extra kick, Floyd recommends sprinkling some miso paste in the onion.

A sunny stroll for seniors More than 100 walk for national fitness event BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The sun was shining and smiles were bright at the 9th annual Senior Stroll at O’Brien Park in Parker on May 31, hosted by the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department and the Hearing Rehab Center. “It’s nice. It’s not too far to walk, you get to see all of the services available (to seniors) and then you get a lovely breakfast,” said Mary Godbey, a Stroh Ranch resident, as she prepared for the walk. “It’s just a nice opportunity to get out and socialize,” added Susan Hooten, Godbey’s walking companion.
The event was part of the 24th annual National Senior Health and Fitness Day, a nationwide campaign to encourage seniors to participate in recreational activities in their communities. Many of the participants took two laps, for a distance of a mile, around the park, while some saved their strength for the SilverSneakers program, one of the other senior-centered activities put on by Parks and Recreation. Others include exercise programs organized by the Arthritis Foundation, Golden Yoga, Tai Chi, Aqua Aerobics, softball, basketball and pickleball programs. Hooten and Godbey haven’t taken the department up on any of the other programs yet, but they said they’ll be back next year for the stroll — and the breakfast. “It was lovely the first time we came out and it still is,” Godbey said.

Veggie burgers Floyd recommends chopping vegetables into fine pieces and mixing them with eggs and panko to create a veggie burger. Smoked veggies Fill a pocket of aluminum foil with woodchips that have been soaked in water for a few hours. Put the pocket with the woodchips inside the grill between the two burners to create a smoking process. Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes, asparagus, parsnips are also good vegetables to grill.
BALSAMIC GRILLED VEGETABLES Recipe from marlameridith.com
Garlic salt to taste
Total Time: 25 minutes
Smoked paprika to taste
Yield: 10 Cups
Black pepper to taste
2 Portobello mushrooms, cleaned and chopped into 1-inch pieces
Optional garnish
12 ounces green beans, trim ends and cut in half
Your favorite cheese
8 ounces cherry tomatoes 1 red onion, cut into bite-sized chunky pieces A handful of garlic cloves, skins removed A few splashes of olive oil A few splashes of balsamic vinegar
Fresh herbs Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Toss all chopped vegetables in a large bowl with enough oil and balsamic for an even thin coating. Put them in your grill basket. Grill with the lid closed for about 15-20 minutes until the veggies are slightly charred and cooked to your liking. Toss every few
minutes to ensure that they are not burning and they cook on all sides. Some tips: Feel free to experiment will all kinds of veggies. Just be sure to watch closely — denser ones will take longer to cook. If you find certain ones are quick grillers, then prepare your selections in batches. Use whatever you have on hand. Zucchini, asparagus, bell pepper, squash, etc., would be great, too. Chop vegetables so they are relatively similar sizes. Experiment with seasonings and sauces for different flavor combinations.

Taking it to the Xtreme BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Elizabeth Stampede kicked off its 53rd year with the Xtreme Bulls competition June 2, featuring 50 professional riders from all over the United States. It was the 30th year of the rodeo’s partnership with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, and the riders they brought to Casey Jones Park in Elizabeth didn’t disappoint the hundreds of spectators packing the stands. “I enjoyed it most this year,” said Kiowa resident Ellen Vanvorst, who has been coming to the Stampede for 19 of her 20 years. “The bars were set really high this year. It was the best I’ve seen, really.” Tyler Bingham, of Honeyville, Utah, walked away with first place in the competition with a score of 89.0, followed closely by Jeff Askey with 85.5 and Garrett Smith with 84.5. For Kiowa resident Joe Bernier, a former rider himself, the event brought back fond memories. “I wished I was down there,” Bernier said. “It made me miss it.” His daughter, Adison, a former mutton buster in her own right, reminded her father of some of the aches and pains he may have forgotten. “This hurts a lot less,” she said.

‘The atmosphere is changing around rodeo’ Tour gives Stampede attendees a look behind the chutes BY JODI HORNER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Upon entering the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo at Casey Jones Park, it was easy to see why the Stampede is considered one of the best familyfriendly Colorado events of the summer. On June 3, visitors were greeted with bouncy houses — $5 for an allday pass — games to try and food, in all its decadent glory, to consume. After passing the pens with sheep and steers, the arena beckoned with a speaker belting pop-music at a decibel level loud enough for the entire park to hear, but not so loud one couldn’t hear the person beside them. Experienced folks who bought their seats early got to sit in sections A-H, where the sun beat on their backs instead of their faces. Cowboy hats were abundant, not just in the chutes but in the stands, along with baseball caps and a few spray-bottle fans. Amid the cheers and excitement, a new record was set for the arena by Kelly Timberman of Casper, Wyoming, for bareback riding, scoring 87.5 points. For each of the rodeo competitions scheduled, a Behind-the-Chutes tour — which the Elizabeth Stampede began around 10 years ago — was hosted. The tour quite literally took attendees behind the chutes of the
rodeo, showing off its animals and explaining typical rodeo terminology, equipment and the processes involved with the logistics of each sport. Caylee Burns, wife of local rodeo bullfighter Cade Burns, led the tours. “The atmosphere is changing around rodeo,” Caylee Burns said. “We need to be proactive to change with the times. The tours are a new kind of thing to welcome people to our rodeo.” Rodeo royalty from the area walked with tourists and kept younger ones occupied as they played with the fringe on their chaps and tried on tiaras. According to Caylee Burns, there have been many newcomers to the rodeo in recent years. On the tours, when asked who had never been to a rodeo, nearly half the people raised their hands. One of the main focal points of the tour is showing how the animals are treated at rodeos. “There are 70 regulations alone in the PRCA documents just about the safety and well-being of the animals,” Caylee Burns said. The Stampede’s hospitable environment has made it an attraction for tourists traveling from abroad. When announcer Les Olhauser asked the crowd at the 2 p.m. rodeo if there were any out-of-country guests, people from Australia and Ireland raised their hands. Casey Jones Park Arena seats 2,166 occupants. Approximately 8,000 tickets were sold to the Stampede this year.

ElizaBash an all-around good time BY JODI HORNER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The charm of Old Town Elizabeth was the backdrop to the ElizaBash street fair on June 3. As many as 100 spots had been available for vendors, though an exact count of how many set up was not known.
Several food vendors enticed fairgoers to the large space dedicated to dining. A stand run by the American Legion took donations for their community outreach programs as Legion volunteers prepared food for hungry visitors. By noon, the Legion had served more than 300 burgers.

Ice cream, corn dogs, chili fries and cotton candy were among the fare on the menu. The ambiance at the event, which was sponsored by the Elizabeth Area Chamber of Commerce, seemed to inspire a good mood for those in attendance. Julie Ogle, of Castle Rock, broke into dance as she passed some speakers piping rhythmic music. A four-minute walk away was the carnival part of ElizaBash, which
offered kiddie rides in the midst of big-kid rides that whirled, spun and zoomed upside-down. The ElizaBash has become a tradition not just for the town but for many families, too. “We take our kids every year,” said Parker resident Nischa Johnson, who was there with her husband and two children. “It’s perfect,” she said, “because it’s not so huge you get lost but big enough to offer things to do.”

Saying a sorrowful goodbye to a maker of musical memories
ometimes it can be difficult to explain why the death of a musician, actor or writer affects us as much as it does. Nine times out of 10, the artist is a person we’ve never met, never shook hands LINER with, or heard NOTES directly address us. But we still feel like we know them, —or better, they know us — because of how their art seemed to capture something uniquely true about who we are. Maybe it’s a feeling we’ve always Clarke Reader had, but never put into words, or something we wanted to say, but never had the courage. When Gregg Allman, the voice and driving force behind the Allman Brothers for decades, died on May 27 at age 69, it felt like the death of someone I knew. Perhaps the biggest reason Allman’s death made me so sad is that he and his music remind me so much of my dad, who at 61 is one of Allman’s biggest fans. Like many people my age, I was introduced to the Allman Brothers because they were one of those musicians that seemed to be constantly blaring out of speakers wherever my dad happened to be.
Could’ve been the car stereo as my brother and I rode around as he ran errands, our home system as he’d do work around the house, or his headphones when he’d be reading on vacation. As much as we may not want to admit it, the music our parents played while we were growing up gets intermingled with our DNA, and it affects our taste. That’s just how it goes. No matter how cool we try to seem, like we discovered Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin or the Allman Brothers in our own way, somewhere back there our parents hit play on an album, cassette or CD and got us started. Of course, I came to appreciate Allman for my own reasons. There was something quintessentially southern about his voice — how it always sounded warm, even when Allman was growling or howling. His career as a keys player is vastly underrated, mostly because he surrounded himself by some of the best guitar players around, and that musical generosity said a lot about who he was as a man. As THE southern rock group, I always appreciated how the Allman Brothers embraced the best parts of their surroundings and rebelled against the worst. As writer Drew Millard wrote in his tribute to Allman for Noisey,
“Unlike Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band to which they are most often compared, the Allmans — a proudly multiracial group from the start — never flirted with Confederate imagery as a misguided symbol of southern rebellion against a wider world. Instead, they were southerners rebelling against the society that raised them.” But it was the personal connections to Allman’s music that made me a lifelong fan. Like the way that “Revival” is one of the all-time great road mixtape kickoff songs, or how few songs sound better than “Whipping Post” when you’ve just had a bad experience with a girlfriend. And if I had a crush on you, at some point you were going to get a mixtape with “Melissa” on it. It’s that perfect a love song. My favorite memories with Allman all involve seeing him live, sometimes with the whole family, but always with my dad. I remember one concert, years ago at Red Rocks, late in the season, and freezing rain started falling. Soaked and shivering, we eventually bailed early, but there were times during the performance when Allman and his band were really cooking, that you forgot all about the misery. That’s the power of truly great music. Gregg Allman made truly great
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Dan Auerbach’s “Waiting on a Song,” released on Nonesuch Records.
Review: It might surprise longtime listeners of The Black Keys to hear that Auerbach’s (the duo’s front man) second solo release is light on the blues and heavy on the 70’s alt-country vibes. What’s even more surprising is how well he takes country and soft rock sounds, and adds a shimmer that only a master craftsman is capable of. Add the fact that John Prine is a co-writer on the title track, and guitar legend Duane Eddy lends a lick or two, and you have an album that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Favorite song: “Never in My Wildest Dreams” Best song for a sunny morning: “Shine On Me”

Sebastian the bloodhound is empathetic envoy Retired show dog brings joy to seniors, helps in other ways
HOW TO GREET A DOG One of the trainings that Sebastian the bloodhound helps provide is how to greet a dog. Here are the steps:
BY JODI HORNER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Sebastian walks gently through the room of a resident at an Elbert County senior home as someone reaches out an arm to touch his lanky body. Several people edge closer toward him as his nose takes in the scents throughout the room. Twice a month, Sebastian serves as a Dog Joy ambassador, and with his owner, Marlene Groves, they visit several senior homes where the residents can pet him and reflect on some of their past pets. “He has regulars who expect their 10 minutes of time with him where they knead his surplus skin or touch his velvety ears,” said Groves, a retired business consultant and “bloodhound and purebred dog enthusiast.” “I enjoy the sport of dog showing, but I have an even greater passion for educating others on purebred dogs,” Groves said. She and her husband, David, began breeding bloodhounds after learning more about the breed. “We saw many breeders focusing on a winning show dog bloodhound versus a functional working bloodhound,” Marlene explained. “We felt that was wrong, and though we are not a big-time breeding kennel, we strive for a bloodhound which meets the American Kennel Club (AKC) breed standard but that is healthy in both body and mind so that I can do the job of trailing.” According to the AKC, “The purpose of a trailing trial is to certify the bloodhound’s abilities for trailing and correctly identifying a specific person in a field setting.” Sebastian’s successful career as a
1. There is a “magic question” before petting or touching a dog: “May I pet your dog?” 2. Sometimes an owner will say “no” if the dog is young or if the dog is a working service dog. For those, “no” absolutely means “no.” 3. Let the dog sniff you by extending your hand — palm down, fingers down. Smelling is how dogs process. 4. After that introduction, pet or scratch the dog. Most dogs love being rubbed under the chin.

He had photo shoots with Colorado Country Life and Vogue in New York City and has been blogged about by Martha Stewart. Although he is now a retired show dog at age 7 1/2, Sebastian is not done working. In addition to his role as a Dog Joy ambassador, Marlene takes him to libraries and schools to visit with kids and help teach them about bloodhounds. The Elizabeth Library is considering developing a monthly dog program in which Sebastian

would play a part. Sebastian also helps with dog show judges’ education and “meet the breed” demonstrations. “It is his sweet but willing nature that makes him good at this,” Marlene said. One of the key lessons Marlene uses Sebastian’s assistance with is how to greet a dog. Although the Groves own three bloodhounds, Sebastian could be called Marlene’s favorite. “Sebastian is different in that he is probably the most rock-solid dog — he’s been there, done that,” Marlene said. “He is also the most sensitive dog, a very emotional dog, so that makes him extra-special for both public education and therapy.”

5. Never put your face in the dog’s face or hover over the top of a dog. These gestures can be too intimidating for some dogs.

She has also appeared in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Gypsy,” and Horton Foote’s “The Old Friends,” as the stepmother in the TV series “Eight is Enough,” and has 16 albums plus other television and film credits. During the week before her Lone Tree appearance, Buckley has been leading a song interpretation and monologue workshop that helps young, and older, professionals prepare for auditions. This will be her sixth annual presentation and she teaches several times a year in New York. “It’s very intense,” she added. Auditors are welcome — for a fee. “I don’t critique.” In the fall, she will work on a new theater piece in New York, she said.

Elephant Rock riders find a wheel fun time

Annual cycling festival draws thousands to Castle Rock BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a beautiful Sunday morning, nearly 6,000 people went for a ride during the 30th annual Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. There were riders of all abilities and ages on different types of bikes at the June 4 event. The finish-line area sometimes became congested with riders taking pictures. One of the familiar refrains heard was “we did it.” Cyclists chose from among five courses to ride: the 100-mile, 62mile, 42-mile, 27-mile gravel and eight-mile family routes. Joe Smith, of Lone Tree, rode the 62-mile course in four hours, 31 minutes and 26 seconds, with an average speed of 13.4 mph. “It went really well,” he said. “I cut my time from last year and the reason I did that is I trained more. I rode a 100 miles just last week.
Highlands Ranch BikeSource employee Tony Valenti makes a quick repair on a rider’s shifter mechanism on June 4. Mechanics from BikeSource were up before dawn helping hundreds of riders make some last minute adjustments before race-time. “I like to ride. I have a stationary kinetic bike in the basement. I get on that and turn on the television. I ride for the exercise and health and to get ready for the MS150, which is the last weekend of June.” Sean Hanley, of Denver, put aside his mountain bike for a road cycle and also finished the 62-mile ride
in less than five hours. “It was a beautiful ride,” Hanley said. “I’ve been around Castle Rock for 20 years and never had ridden it. I just started road biking. I’ve been mountain biking my whole life.” SEE CYCLING, P32
A look in the rear-view reveals exciting moments
W
e don’t like to live in the past. But it’s time to take a look back on the 2016-17 school year for area sports teams. • Two highlights were the back-to-back dramatic state playoffs games of the Rock Canyon boys basketball team. OVERTIME Rock Canyon scored four points in the final five seconds to beat Grandview 4240 in a quarterfinal game. A steal and an ensuing follow tip-in of a missed layup in the final second sent the Jaguars into the semifinals, where the team lost on a free throw with 0.8 second Jim Benton remaining to eventual state champion Eaglecrest. • The Jefferson County 4A regular season basketball finale was remarkable and went two overtimes with D’Evelyn escaping with a 71-69 triumph over Golden. • Just watching Mountain Vista attempt to win the Class 5A title on the final day of the volleyball championships was tiring. Vista played eight sets in its final two pool matches and then the Golden Eagles had to win two, one-set playoffs before advancing to the semifinals. Mountain Vista beat Rock Canyon, 3-2, in the semifinals and led 3-1 in the finals against Fossil Ridge before fatigue took its toll. Vista lost the fifth-set tiebreaker to Fossil Ridge to end as state runner-up after playing 15 sets in one afternoon and evening. • It was hard to ignore the rare Continental League baseball chase. Going into the final day of the regular season, six teams were tied for first place. • Valor Christian captured five state titles. It appeared that last fall might be the season for payback as the Eagles football team started with a 1-3 record. However, after a narrow 10-7 semifinal win over Cherry Creek, the Eagles whipped Pomona 30-14 to win their seventh title in eight years. Ali Kilponen pitched Valor to its third straight 4A softball title and the boys lacrosse team captured its second straight state crown. The baseball team defended its 4A state title and the boys basketball took home the championship hardware after being the runner-up last year. • Cherry Creek won state titles in boys and girls tennis and boys lacrosse to give the Bruins 200 overall state titles in its history. • Pomona’s girls gymnastics and wrestling teams secured piggyback state championships. • Green Mountain was the 4A gymnastics winners. • The Lutheran boys won their fourth consecutive 3A track crown. • Mountain Vista’s girls soccer team didn’t look like champions early in the season but won two shootouts in the playoffs and went SEE BENTON, P32

Hard work pays off for Ponderosa senior Claire Cox is Girls Tennis Player of Year BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Ponderosa senior Claire Cox won the No. 2 singles championship at the Class 5A State High School Girls Tennis Championship held May 18-20 at the Gate Tennis Center in Denver. It was the way she won that title that was impressive and one of the reasons she has been selected as the 2017 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Tennis Player of the Year. Cox went three sets before defeating Natakue Slobeth of Arapahoe, 6-4 in the third, during the first-round state tournament match. In the semifinals, she was on the court for three and half hours before securing a 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 victory over Emma Eckenhausen of Denver East.

Challenging was a word that several riders used to describe their ride. Randy Gleason, of Parker, crossed the finish line seven hours after starting the century course. “I’ve been doing this for about 15 years and this is the third year with the new course,” he said. “It’s always fun just to push yourself and challenge yourself a little bit. And it’s a nice warmup for a lot of other rides I’m going to do this summer.” It was also challenging for Manisha Hira, of Commerce City, with her son Shivan in a child trailer during the family ride in which the Castle Rock Police Department escorted cyclists through construction downtown. Susan Gobbo, of Morrison, was accompanied by her young grandson Damien on a bike beside her. “I’ve done this one other time but this is my grandson’s first time,” she said. “I hope we are ready for this. We are trying to get him excited about biking and see what he can do as a youngster.” Everybody seemed excited to see and ask Everod Samuel, of Centennial, about his bike called the Ordinary, a high-wheeler. He rode it over the 62-mile course. One rider saw the bike

SWIMMER FROM PAGE 31
Media South Metro Boys Swimmer of the Year. “I have definitely improved as a swimmer,” he added. “I have more experience so I’ve learned to race a little bit smarter. Being a little bit older added a little more confidence. Everything has just kind of gone better since my freshman year. “I’m happy with the season. I was proud of our team. We came a long way.” Arapahoe coach Mike Richmond
Lexi Lee, A, Soph., Valor Christian Sara Stewart, MF, Sr., ThunderRidge Sidney Weigand, MF, Soph., Regis Jesuit Kennedy Mealhow, MF, Jr., Chaparral Meghan Gordon, MF, Jr., ThunderRidge Danni Malinski, MF, Jr., Valor Christian Brenna Knoll, MF, Sr., Castle View/Douglas County Elizabeth Posavad, D, Jr., Chaparral Katie Whittelsey, D, Sr., Regis Jesuit Kylie Provost, D, Sr., Valor Christian Isabella Guerrero, D, Jr., ThunderRidge
has enjoyed coaching and watching Eiber swim. “He’s elegant in the water,” said Richmond. “You can tell. There were a large number of coaches who came up to me and expressed to me how they enjoy watching him swim. We do too. He’s a hard worker. He’s a great leader and really stepped up this year as a senior. He’s way beyond just about anybody I’ve coached.” Eiber and his twin sister Laurel have signed to swim at Indiana University. “I guess I have a lot of improvement to go,” said Eiber. “I’m excited to go there and see what I can do.”

THEREFORE, Notice Is Hereby Given that on the first possible sale date (unless the sale is continued*) at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, July 12, 2017, at the Public Trustee’s office, 402 Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, Colorado, I will sell at public auction to the highest and best bidder for cash, the said real property and all interest of said Grantor(s), Grantor(s)’ heirs and assigns therein, for the purpose of paying the indebtedness provided in said Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust, plus attorneys’ fees, the expenses of sale and other items allowed by law, and will deliver to the purchaser a Certificate of Purchase, all as provided by law.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both.
