Kidney donor emerges for teacher
Community, youths come together for educator in need
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com When doctors told Molly Wright to register for a kidney transplant waiting list, she didn’t waste any time. According to the National Kidney Foundation, the average wait time for a donor match is 3.6 years, though in some cases it can be much
longer. Wright didn’t need to wait nearly that long. After hearing of her need, many of her students at Prairie Crossing Elementary in Parker organized an awareness campaign in February. The “Help Molly Find a Kidney” project included fliers, T-shirts and bracelets that students made to spread the word. Other friends and family had been doing campaigns of their own, spreading the word in their neighborhoods and churches.
Ultimately, it was a friend of Wright’s mother who came forward and was found to be a match, but the search was a community effort. “I’m just blown away,” Wright said of her students’ campaign. “They’re not just thinking outside of the box, they’re thinking outside of themselves.” Wright suffered a series of complications, including seizures and a stroke, during the birth of her son, Nolan, in May 2015. As a result, she lost 90 Teacher continues on Page 13

Pine Lane students host fundraising carnival to address global problems By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ask any elementary school teacher and they will tell you that the last week of school can be a little bit chaotic. The fifthand sixth-grade classes at Pine Lane Elementary are no exception, but on May 31 they turned pandemonium into a chance to do some good. The classes, part of Pine Lane’s Discovery program
for gifted children, held their second annual Planet Protectors Carnival, three days before the end of the school year. As excited as they were to be free of tardy bells and homework, the students were just as enthusiastic about raising money to address global problems such as pollution, endangered animals and hunger. “Creativity and collaboration for the greater good, it’s a beautiful thing,” said Margaret Condron, a fourth- and fifthgrade teacher in the Discovery Program. All of the games were designed, built and tested by 42 Pine Lane continues on Page 13
South Metro Fire Rescue is the first fire district in Arapahoe and Douglas counties to activate two smartphone applications that firefighters hope will improve sudden cardiac arrest survival rates by alerting CPR-trained professionals and pinpointing medical equipment in the community. Once 911 is called for a patient experiencing sudden cardiac arrest in a public place, citizens who install the PulsePoint app on their smartphones will be alerted if they are within 400 meters of the patient. The PulsePoint AED app points users to the nearest automated external defibrillator, a portable device that sends an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm. App users also have the ability to place an AED’s location on a Apps continues on Page 12

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
MAEGAN WINEGAR Mother of two Coming home I’ve lived here for 20 years or two days, depending on how you look at it. I grew up in Elizabeth, then moved away. My husband and I lived in North Carolina, Elbert, and Littleton, and we just moved back into the house I grew up in with my father. We took over the basement, pretty much. There isn’t a lot different about the house, just newer appliances, but I think my father is glad to have his grandchildren around so he can get to know them and he likes having my husband around to fix things. Back to the … present We moved away in 2009 and returned this May. Coming back to this area, the biggest difference I’ve
noticed is the insane growth around here. Every time I go down any road I think “where are all of these people coming from?” Challenges of child rearing My daughter, Charlee, is 4 ½ and my son, Will, is 2. The hardest part of raising them is the constant competition between them for my attention. If he has something, she wants it and if she has something, he wants it. Let them do their thing We’re looking forward to the warm weather and sunshine and just getting the kids out into it this summer. Just going to the park, getting some sun and letting them play. I think free play is very important because it helps children develop their imaginations. It also helps them learn to be independent and how to entertain themselves if there’s nothing readily available for them to do.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
June 10, 2016
Candidates for county commissioner, District 3 Q&A with Lora Thomas
L
ora Thomas, 60, is a third-generation Coloradan who grew up in Denver. She’s lived in Highlands Ranch for 17 years and Douglas County for 25 years. She enjoys spending time with her family, including her 3-year-old granddaughter. Thomas was the Douglas County coroner from 2011-15. She was a major in the Colorado State Patrol for 26 years. She has a bachThomas elor’s degree in science and finance from Regis University, a master’s degree in business administration from Regis University, and an associate degree in applied science and criminal justice from Arapahoe Community College. She is president of A Night With the Coroner, a nonprofit organization for suicide prevention awareness. Why are you seeking this position? I am running for this county commissioner position so that Republican voters have the opportunity to cast their ballot for a true conservative with a proven record of not only talking the talk, but walking it as well. I’m not the party insider — I’m the candidate who is ready on day one to manage tax dollars wisely while ensuring government services are provided. Growth will be balanced so that the character of Douglas County does not change. And I will not accept federal grants that turn over local zoning decision-making authority to the federal government.
Q&A with Monica Wasden
M
What makes you the best person for the job? I am the best candidate for the county commissioner position because, as Douglas County coroner, I have proven that I know how to deliver necessary government services with less tax dollars. I am the only candidate in this race with an MBA and a finance degree. I’ve managed large public-sector budgets for years. This isn’t my first rodeo. As a major with the Colorado State Patrol, I worked collaboratively with other agencies to benefit our communities, and I’ve developed and implemented public policy. Finally, I am an independent thinker who will represent the interests of the citizens of Douglas County. I am not beholden to developers and elected officials who financed and endorsed my campaign.
onica Wasden, 48, has lived in Highlands Ranch for 21 years. She’s been a delegate for the Highlands Ranch Community Association for 16 years and served on the Steering Committee and as first treasurer for the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce for five years. She and her husband, Jeff, have been married for 29 years and have one Wasden son. Wasden has a pre-law degree and Paralegal Certificate from Butte College in northern California. She owned a construction finance company for 10 years. She now owns PROformance Apparel, which has been recognized as “Business of the Year” by the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce. She is a first-time candidate for public elected office.
What will your top two priorities be, if elected? Growth will continue to bring vibrant economic opportunities to Douglas County. I will manage that growth with balance so that updates for our transportation and other support systems are not just an afterthought. As the only candidate with an MBA and a finance degree, I will oversee the county’s finances to ensure taxpayer dollars are managed appropriately. I have the proven track record of being accountable to citizens. I will listen and depend on input from them as I represent their interests as a commissioner. I am honored for this opportunity to serve my community.
Why are you seeking this position? “You make a living by what you do, but you make a life by what you give” explains why my family works so hard at serving our community. We love Douglas County and want to ensure it continues to be a great place to live, work and raise a family. We need more servant leaders and more business people in office. I am pragmatic, work cooperatively with diverse groups of people and have a proven track record as a successful leader. I’m running to serve the people of Douglas County.
What makes you the best person for the job? First, I’m not a career politician. As a small business owner who has spent my career in the private sector, my focus has been on creating jobs and serving my community. My peers have consistently elected me to leadership roles in every organization I have been a part of because they knew that I want what is best for the community. My background in finance and construction management has prepared me to tackle our budget, water, open space and infrastructure needs. I am running to serve the residents of Douglas County, not to further a political agenda. What will your top two priorities be, if elected? Economic Development: Government doesn’t create jobs — the private sector does. It is the job of county government to get out of the way, to help companies get up and running, and to support those job creators. I will work to ensure government is fair, efficient and as minimally intrusive as possible to continue to foster strong economic growth and the county’s long-term financial stability. Growth Management: We expect to see another 100,000 residents moving into Douglas County. We need visionary planning that protects our resources, ensures reusable water supplies and efficient transportation infrastructure. We must ensure that development continues in the northern tier while protecting the beauty and heritage of southern Douglas County.

Parker gets new place for giving Bonfils Blood Center opens community donor facility
BONFILS COMMUNITY DONOR CENTER
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Giving back just got a lot more convenient for Parker residents. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 2, Bonfils Blood Center President and CEO Bryan Krueger said blood donation rates in Parker almost double the national average. The new community donor center, he said, is a way for Bonfils to reward that generosity with convenience. “The support we already have here is amazing,” Krueger said. “This is an ideal location for us.” Krueger added that the center is the first fixed site to open in the Denver metro area in 15 years. Janine Hopkins, field supervisor at the location, said blood donation is a way for people to do something that truly saves lives. Hopkins, who started working at Bonfils as a phlebotomist 15 years ago, said blood is always in demand. “We need people in here every day because somewhere there is a patient that needs it that’s going to use it,” Hopkins said. Ten years ago, Hays Padrnos was one of those patients. Padrnos began bleeding uncontrollably after the birth of her third daughter on June 14, 2006. Her organs began to shut down and doctors at Sky Ridge Medical Center had to give her 22 units of blood to save her life. Padrnos, who has lived in Parker for 18 years, became a Bonfils ambassador a year after the incident. In September of 2007, she helped repay the kindness that saved her life, organizing a blood drive
Where: 10259 S. Parker Road, Suite 104, Parker Hours: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays To donate: Appointments can be scheduled by calling 303-363-2300 or visiting bonfils.org. • The community donor center in Parker is the seventh in all of Colorado and the second in Douglas County. • Bonfils requires 3,000 donations a week to keep up with demand. • Donations tend to drop up to 20 percent during summer months as school blood drives subside and regular donors take vacations.
Bonfils Blood Center Ambassador Hays Padrnos addresses the attendees at the Bonfils community donor center in Parker on June 2. Padrnos received 22 units of blood after her last daughter’s birth and became an ambassador for the center just over a year later. Photo by Tom Skelley that received 22 units of blood, exactly the amount she needed a year before. “I’m forever grateful that I get to watch my daughter grow up and I’m forever grateful that I get to celebrate my daughter’s 10th birthday,” Padrnos said to the more than 70 guests at the event. “And it’s all because of blood donation.” Bruce Trautmann moved to Colorado in 1976 and started donating to Bonfils a couple of years afterward.

Relay for Life rolls into community American Cancer Society fundraisers will be in Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock and Littleton this summer By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The American Cancer Society will bring its Relay for Life to five locations in the south metro area this summer, with the first one taking place this weekend in Centennial. Some 150 participants are expected to spend the day walking the track at Eaglecrest High School in Centennial beginning at noon on June 11, said Therese Buccio, American Cancer Society community manager. The fundraising goal is $27,500. The next event will be on June 18 at Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch, where 500 people are expected to raise $100,000. On July 16, 300 people are expected to raise $60,000 at Tallman Meadow Park in Parker, and on July 25, 300 are expected to raise $20,000 at Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock. Finally, a Littleton event at Cornerstone Park on Aug. 5 should draw 100, with a fundraising goal of $20,000. The fundraising goals are based off of figures from previous years. Since the early 1990s, 1.5 million lives that would have been lost to cancer have been saved, Buccio said, and
today, two of three people diagnosed with cancer live five years or more. “When we first began the fight against cancer, it was pretty much a death sentence,” she said. Since its origin in Tacoma, Washington, in 1985, Relay for Life has become the world’s largest fundraising event fighting cancer, drawing 4 million participants to 6,000 events worldwide last year. Jyme Thomas, team ambassador for Relay for Life of Littleton, hopes to make volunteering for the cause a lifelong passion. Thomas began volunteering for Relay for Life in her Oklahoma hometown in high school and continued through college. After moving to Colorado, she didn’t do it for a couple of years, making this her first year back. “I have a blast when I’m at Relay for Life,” she said. “It’s about happiness and letting those people know that they’re not alone.” Thomas has had several friends and family members battle cancer. “Everybody has somebody they know who has suffered from cancer,” she said. Individuals and teams wishing to participate in the events can learn more at www.relayforlife.org.

said he began donating while he was in the military in 1966 for “a little time off” from physical exercises, but he continued because it saves lives, citing the statistic that a single donation can help up to three people. “It’s not just a financial donation, you’re really having an impact on real people, and it’s easy,” he said. “When you walk in (staff members) make you feel comfortable, and when you leave
you feel pretty good.” In his speech at the ceremony, Krueger said the two biggest reasons people cite when asked why they don’t donate blood is that they are never asked to do it and that the process is perceived as inconvenient. Padrnos addressed the convenience issue, saying the procedure takes less than an hour and can be scheduled to fit anyone’s calendar. As for Krueger’s first point, she said Bonfils’ mission is unique. “People would come down and give if they were asked, but blood donation doesn’t work that way,” she said. “When you need a blood donation, you need it now.”

Bike to Work Day gets people to sample commuting option Goal is to have first-time riders turn into regulars
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com For her daily commute, Katy Burley either walks or takes RTD’s Call-n-Ride to the nearest Light Rail Station at Belleview and I-25. Then she takes the train to downtown Denver. “If you try it,” she said, “you might like it and make it a new habit.” The sooner Denver starts acting like a big city — which means using more multimodal transportation — the better off it will be, said Burley, a Greenwood Village resident and public relations coordinator for Denver Regional Council of Governments. And that’s the hope behind Bike to Work Day — to encourage commuters to explore other ways of getting around. Way to Go, a transportation program of Denver Regional Council of Governments, coordinates the annual event to promote healthy lifestyle choices. National Bike Month is May but because of Colorado’s iffy spring weather, the occasion falls on the third Wednesday of June — that’s June 22 this year. DRCOG is a group of elected officials from 56 agencies that address regional issues and plan for the future. The council
Lauren Memarian, of Denver, designed this year’s Bike to Work Day poster. She rides an orange bike named “Clementine.” Photo courtesy of JR Goodwin
oversees several counties along the Front Range, including Arapahoe and Douglas. DRCOG’s three areas of focus are aging, regional planning and transportation. Last year, Bike to Work Day had 32,800 riders with an average bike ride of about nine miles, according to a DRCOG report. The event reduced daily carbon dioxide emissions by a quarter of 1 million pounds. Bike to Work Day isn’t a bike race — it’s a bike ride and a communal celebration. Stations will be set up across Denver for riders to rejuvenate, socialize and share their success. Last year, there were 243 stations, including breakfast stations in the morning, snack and water stations in the afternoon, and craft-beer stations at the end the day. “It’s a way of saying, ‘You biked so many miles so cheers to you,’” Burley said. Participants can register for free online at www.biketoworkday.us until June 22. The user-friendly website will map out a bike route from starting to ending point. It will also identify nearby stations. Registered participants are automatically entered to win prizes, including bike gear, sports packages and Red Rocks tickets. Participants can enter an additional sweepstakes for a cycling vacation for two along Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Bike to Work Day puts a fun spin on behavior modification, Burley said. “If commuters just try it,” she said, “they are more likely to stick with it.”

Lutheran High School celebrates success of its graduates
Photographer, restaurant and automotive shop owners recognized for support By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County Veterans Monument Foundation honored three area businessmen June 2 with awards for their contributions to the group. Jeff Drabing, co-owner of Rockyard American Grill & Brewing Company in Castle Rock, accepted the award for his business. “You’re always there for us, so we wanted to make sure that we recognize you,” foundation chairman Todd DeVoe said, adding that Rockyard donates beer to several of the foundation’s events. Also at the meeting, held in the conference room of the Douglas County Veteran’s Affairs office in Castle Rock, the first-ever Ambassador Award was given to John Manka of 1 Stop Auto in Castle Rock. “John has been involved with us since the beginning,” DeVoe said, pointing out that the Ambassador Award was established because of Manka. “John is a pillar of the community and we would certainly not be where we’re at today without John. Everywhere he goes, he brings

And he does it without batting an eye.” When accepting his plaque, Manka said what he does is not hard work, because the men and women who have served through the United States Armed Forces have already done the hard work. “I did not serve,” Manka told the group. “And I do appreciate the fact that you all served and continue to support those who have served.” Castle Rock photographer Nick Lucey was also given with the
Ambassador Award for his constant support of the foundation. “We wanted to thank Nick because his exquisite pictures (of the monument) that we’re allowed to use really add to what we have,” DeVoe said. “It adds to our credibility and our professionalism.” Lucey, a former Marine, said he can’t help but photograph the monument in downtown Castle Rock when he walks past it. “I love the monument,” he said. “I’ve been gravitated toward it since I got here.”

Lessons from a life well-lived This week I wanted to share a couple of lessons that I learned from Harry. Harry served our country in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years. When he retired from the Air Force, he worked for an insurance company for another 20 years and retired successfully from that company. At age 59, he started and built a very successful local insurance company of his own. And when he finally sold off that business he took a part time job at Home Depot just to keep busy and spend time with other people and helping other people. He also faithfully served his church as an usher and treasurer and volunteer for many projects and committees. Oh, and once a week Harry volunteered to serve meals to the homeless. Harry was my grandmother’s brother, so technically that made him my “great uncle.” He was a great uncle, a better man, a loving husband, and a man of faith who served God, our country, his fellow man, and the community. He was a special man who worked hard, loved much, and laughed often. He loved telling jokes and laughing at all the jokes others shared with him. Every time I called him or saw him he would have two or three jokes for every new one that I had prepared for him. His approach to balancing life and giving back was an incredible inspiration to me. My grandmother was the first one to ever make the comparison. I would lovingly tease her and she would always say, “You are just
like your Uncle Harry.” When I was a young boy I didn’t quite appreciate what that actually meant, but as I came to spend more time with Uncle Harry, it became a comparison and reference that I welcomed. For someone to say to me that I was just like my Uncle Michael Norton Harry was a badge I wore with honor and WINNING pride. And all I can WORDS hope and strive for is that as I live out the rest of my life I can have that same work ethic and spirit of love, laughter, giving back, and servanthood that he had. Unfortunately, Uncle Harry passed away last week after a very brief battle with brain cancer at the age of 85. And as I was flying back home here to Colorado after attending the funeral services I couldn’t help but think about all of the love, admiration, and comments made about my uncle. I know that happens at every memorial service as we all look for the good things to remember and hold on to about our closest friends and family. But as I watched the scrolling video loop of my uncle’s life and listened as people shared their stories, that same pride welled up inside
of me, and re-ignited a passion of who I want to be and what I want to do in this world. He was a difference maker in the lives of so many people and I hope to be a difference maker too. I have heard it said in several ways, but there will come a time in all of our lives where we will say one of two things, “I wish I had,” or “I am glad that I did.” If you are still reading this column, this is the part where you can take action and think of all the things that you are so glad that you did, and then make a list of all of the things you wish you had done and get busy making plans to do them. There is a difference maker in each and every one of us. Whether we do something little that makes a big difference in this world or we do something big that makes a little difference in our community or within our family, we can do something that positively impacts the lives of others. Are you just like my Uncle Harry? I’ll bet you have your own Uncle Harry and source of inspiration in your own life and I would love to hear all about that person at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can take a lesson from a life well lived, 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.

Who is really in charge at DCSD? After reading the recent article “Focus turns to Fagen’s Legacy, Successor,” we need to ask who is running our Douglas County schools? On May 17, douglascountyparents.com released audio of former Douglas County School Board Member Justin Williams addressing a group at a recent networking event. He stated, “I’ve come to the conclusion — and this is sort of the kick off to this movement- and I’m certainly not the only one — that if we go forward in the next election in 2017 without having a superintendent change, that we are going to lose.” On May 24, Superintendent Fagen resigned her position with Douglas County Schools. After shrugging off years of calls for her resignation from parents and staff, including the popular #firefagen created in 2013, less than two weeks after Williams began a movement to replace her, Dr. Fagen announced her resignation. The timing of these two events is extremely dubious. Who is this group and how was their “movement” to replace Dr. Fagen successful so quickly? Dr. Fagen is walking away from one of the largest superintendent contracts in the state. Just signed in 2015, her enviable contract was worth over $1.5 million and would have kept Dr. Fagen in Douglas County until 2020. Is our school district being run from a political strategy war room? Williams — who claimed hiring Dr. Fagen was his greatest accomplishment — did not suggest Dr. Fagen be replaced for the good of our students. He suggested she be replaced for the good of his candidates. We as a community need to reverse this group’s initiatives since we now know they were not meant to improve our children’s lives, but instead were meant to further political ambitions.

Seems like old times, but with a difference Bob Dylan turned 75 in May. It’s not time yet to be consumed with reflection about Dylan. He is still performing. I’ll get to that. The first Dylan song that sounded good to me was performed by Craig Marshall Smith someone else. I didn’t warm QUIET up to him until DESPERATION after I heard “It Ain’t Me Babe” in 1965, recorded by the Turtles. The Turtles were a Westchester, California, band led Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, who had been high school classmates. Volman was the chubby one. I saw him one night in a walk-up hamburger joint on Santa Monica Boulevard. The song is thought to be about Dylan’s ex-girlfriend, Suze Rotolo (1943- 2011). She’s the girl walking with Dylan on the cover of “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.” (About their first meeting, Dylan said, “I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She was the most erotic thing I had ever seen. Suddenly the air was full of banana leaves.”) Dylan allegedly wrote the chorus “no,
no, no” as a parody of the Beatles “yeah, yeah, yeah.” Life is not all Strawberry Fields, and maybe that’s part of the reason why I found comfort in Dylan’s asymmetrical and poetic songs, especially when I was in college. The lyrics are aimed at the upper half of your body, namely your head and your heart. What comes out today, most of it, is aimed at your lower half. It’s all dance music. You can’t hop and dance around to poetry, generally. But rap. Aha. There are home movies of toddlers sparking it up to rap songs. It doesn’t take much intelligence or any contemplation to appreciate today’s music. You just have to want to wiggle, and watch your favorite performers wiggle. And change costumes. There is no one left in Dylan’s tree. Well, there’s Leonard Cohen. Cohen is 81. There was a time when a songwriter’s words mattered. Here are some names: Hoagy Carmichael, John Prine, Woody Guthrie, Townes Van Zandt, Tim Buckley, Ian Tyson (Ian & Sylvia), Joan Baez. Smith continues on Page 11

Geddes: Fagen brought innovations, improvements to district Our Douglas County School District superintendent, Dr. Elizabeth Fagen, has been named the lone finalist in the school district in Humble, Texas. When Dr. Fagen came to the Douglas County School District a short six years ago, the board of directors provided her with direction to provide a blueprint for universal choice, implement pay-forperformance for teachers, and find more meaningful ways to account for how we improve student learning. Following this direction from the board, she has transformed our district into, perhaps, the finest in the country. She has implemented numerous innovations that have significantly improved the quality of education in our district and also recognized and supported the most critical role of the classroom teacher. Working within the requirements of SB 191’s reform of teacher evaluation, she has pioneered an evolving system of objective teacher evaluation paired with pay for performance as we directed, whereby teachers who are found to be soundly effective and highly effective are rewarded

Wasden the right choice for commissioner Monica Wasden is the right choice for Douglas County moving forward. She is a community volunteer, a business leader and knows Douglas County, having served as board chair on the Douglas County Fair Foundation, the Public Safety Advisory Committee and the Women’s Crisis Center. She is not a career politician and someone who is truly running to ensure the county remains the best place to live, work, play and raise your children. She has been endorsed by many elected officials in the area, not because she is an establishment insider, but because they have seen her work ethic, leadership skills and pragmatic nature. She has served as board treasurer for the chamber, owned and managed a construction finance company and is a current small business owner, so she understands finances and how important making sound, prudent fiscal decisions are for the families that call Douglas County home. Monica has met with county departments, toured the county, attended water summits, meet with homeowners and elected officials to learn about the issues, challenges and opportunities. Douglas County is a great place and a vote for Monica Wasden is a vote to continue to make our county the top county in the state and nation. Monica Wasden knows how important infrastructure, water resources, and managing growth is to our future. As Douglas County continues to grow, we need someone who understands the issues and will work cooperatively to help solve challenging and complex issues.

by receiving the lion’s share of any pay raises available to our teachers. As a result, Douglas County School District retains over 95 percent of all our teachers who are rated highly effective and over 89 percent Jim Geddes of our teachers who are rated effective. GUEST There are two lower categories COLUMN of performance, partially effective and ineffective. None of the teachers rated ineffective chose to return to our district, and only 63 percent of the teachers rated partially effective are returning to our district.

Jeff Wasden (husband of Monica Wasden) Highlands Ranch What’s happening to Parker? I’m disappointed in how many apartments have been built and are currently being built in Parker. We retired to Colorado in 2011 and chose Parker to buy a home to be away from the congestion of Highlands Ranch and Denver. Parker seemed like a small laid-back community with all the small horse ranches, etc. But Mayor Mike Waid and his city council have decided to create another Highlands Ranch and pack as many people in as they can for tax revenue. About a month ago we drove downtown to eat at the Texas Diner. As we approached the restaurant on Pikes Peak, we were shocked at the apartment building going up right at the sidewalk. There was no street parking available and to top it off, the Texas Diner was closed forever. I remember Mike Waid praising the new restaurant when it opened. Did the new apartments and lack of street parking cause them to close? Pikes Peak is no longer a quaint little street in downtown Parker. And those apartments will just add to the congestion. Traffic is awful and navigating Mainstreet is a nightmare. What happened, residents of Parker? Is the all-mighty dollar driving our mayor and city council? I’m glad their city sales tax increase was voted down last fall. We don’t want to become another Highlands Ranch. Let’s take back our “quaint” Parker!

quality teachers eager to work in our innovative district, and who have applied to us from across the country. For vacant teaching positions, we choose from over 30,000 new applicants each year. There are a number of additional innovations Elizabeth Fagen has brought us, such as a greater teacher and principal autonomy, including individual school curriculum discretion in concert with the districtwide “guaranteed and viable curriculum.” She has encouraged and supported schools that choose to engage their students in project-based, expeditionary or artful learning. There are exciting career-oriented high school projects such as the International Baccalaureate Program offered at some of our high schools, and innovations such as STEM, biotechnology and health science, and visual and performing arts academies at other high schools, such as Castle View High School. Along with a “choice in education”oriented board of directors, she has championed strategic partnerships with charter schools in Douglas County that

If you haven’t heard of Van Zandt, maybe you have heard of “Pancho & Lefty,” one of his songs. See if you can find Buckley singing “Pleasures of the Harbor.” I don’t know what to make of this. CNN’s Gene Seymour wrote, “After decades of rambling, raging, rocking and seemingly inexhaustible reinventing, the artist from Hibbing, Minnesota, born as Robert Zimmerman and known to us as Bob Dylan, is 75 years old, a walking diamond jubilee; still alive, still on the road, and coming soon to an arena or amphitheater near you to sing classic popular music.” Only it’s not Dylan’s popular music. It’s Frank Sinatra’s.
not only enhance educational options, but also efficiently addressed student population growth without increasing taxes. All this exciting innovation and improvement in education quality is already paying off handsomely, despite the short six-year history of this effort. Our graduation rates have increased to 90 percent. Not surprisingly, our high school students continue to perform exceptionally well on the ACT. In addition, participation on Advanced Placement tests is increasing. Our academic performance has improved to the point that the Colorado Department of Education has designated the district as “Accredited with Distinction” — the highest level of performance possible. Many thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Fagen for her fine service to our district and congratulations on a fine career, a career we expect to see expanded and enhanced by her future endeavors. Dr. Jim Geddes has been a member of the Douglas County School Board since 2013. It makes some sense. Sinatra’s best songs have the same kind of unsentimental melancholy. There won’t be much of an uproar. Dylan doesn’t stimulate that kind of reaction any more, like he did when he went from acoustic to electric. It’s simply another reinvention. There’s a Dylan song (“Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”) that refers to an elderly man who has lost control. “He built a fire on Main Street and shot it full of holes.” Dylan hasn’t lost control. Frank Sinatra was actually a perfect choice. I might think differently if he were singing Nancy Sinatra. Dylan will perform at Red Rocks on June 19.

Cycling festival miles of fun Elephant Rock event brings out participants of all ages, skill levels
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival ushers in the cycling season in Colorado every June. There were an estimated 6,000 participants June 5 for the 29th annual Elephant Rock that started and finished at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. Riders were on mountain and road bikes, recumbent and tandem bikes and other contraptions. Partakers of all ages could choose from one of five courses depending on their abilities. Many participants rode on either the 100-mile Century course or the 62-mile Metric Century over the rolling hills and countryside. There was also a 40-mile road course, a 27-mile gravel course and the 8-mile family course. “Since it started, it has essentially been sort of the every-man’s ride, so we have courses for everybody,” said Scot Harris, who has been the event director for all 29 years. “It’s always been kind of the kickoff to the season. “This year’s participation is almost identical to last year, which is going to be just a hair shy of 6,000, but we haven’t got the actual numbers of registrants from today (June 5). Our record year was in the mid-7,000s. It flattened out a little in the past five years but it is still the largest cycling event in the Rocky Mountain region. Our first year was 1,200 participants so it’s grown steadily.” Paula Dutenhoeffer, a Castle Rock
Riders head out of the starting gates at the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling festival at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on June 5. resident and Douglas County High School graduate, toured the family course with her husband Troy and children. She also drew a lot of attention because she was riding an Elliptigo bike, which combines the motion of an indoor elliptical trainer with the outdoor mobility of a traditional bike. “We got comments the whole course,” Troy Dutenhoeffer said. “Kids dragging behind would go `Wow, what was that?’ And then their dad was going, `We’ve got to get mom one of those.’ ” Plantar fasciitis forced Paula Dutenhoeffer to get an Elliptigo. “I used to run and I ended up with plantar fasciitis,” she said. “I’ve had it for two years now and running is done for

me. The Elliptigo still gives me that feeling of running, but with my aching feet it will let me keep up with my kids on their bikes. It’s kind of a nice hybrid for me.” Tom Danielson, a Longmont resident and Cinch Cycling owner who once finished eighth overall in the Tour de France, rode the 100-mile course at the Elephant Rock and said he has seen a change in cycling over the past few years. “The sport over the last years has grown a lot, but it is changing,” Danielson said. “Initially, it grew a lot in the racing and the race community and then there was this shift where it wasn’t the racers buying the bikes and participating in cycling. It ended up being that working person who has a job or owns a business or is a pretty high-level professional that is participating. “You really see it here at the Elephant Rock, where it’s 1,000 times bigger than the general race, but the cool thing is the mentality is the same. People love the challenge. You need a start line and finish line and then a goal in between it, and that’s what these people love. You have to be content with yourself and the challenge.” Danielson said Elephant Rock is an event that makes cycling special. “Whether it’s the time or a position or overall performance, you are always a champion when you cross the finish line, and that part of the sport is what makes cycling special,” he said. Harris saw a new generation, along with longtime participants, in this year’s Elephant Rock. “We probably have 2,000 people ride the 100-mile course, so it’s a real variety of riders,” he said. “We have people that rode that first year that have kids and now have been back on their bikes and jump in after 20 years. And we have people that have ridden every single one.”
map, add a business and upload photos for easy access. Both apps, products of the PulsePoint Foundation, are free. South Metro Fire expects survival rates to increase with the new technology because “community members have a desire to help one another,” said Eric Hurst, 911 operations manager and public information officer for South Metro Fire Rescue. Richard Price, of San Ramon, California, created the foundation in 2009 when he was fire chief for San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District. Price was off-duty at lunch in the San Fransisco Bay area and heard sirens in the distance. A man next door had gone into sudden cardiac arrest and died. He could’ve helped had he been alerted. “He thought, PulsePoint apps are ‘Everyone available in 28 locations has smartacross Colorado. Below phones are the South Metro nowadays Denver locations. — what if Castle Pines Greenwood there was Village something Centennial that could Cherry Hills Lone Tree alert us?’ “ Foxfield Roxborough said Shannon Smith, a PulsePoint media specialist. Today, about 75 percent of California uses PulsePoint. It’s in 26 states and 1,600 communities. There are 750,000 active users. As of last week, there were roughly 30 activations a day. Because of HIPAA laws and patient confidentiality, PulsePoint cannot track the number of lives saved. But the app’s success is seen in high-profile cases. Last year, country singer Shania Twain donated concert tickets to the Spokane, Washington, fire department. A man in the audience had sudden cardiac arrest and about 30 firefighters were able to find his exact row and seat from the PulsePoint app. The firefighters saved his life. Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the U.S. and accounts for an estimated 1,000 deaths per day, according to statistics. But only about onequarter of sudden cardiac arrest victims receive bystander CPR and even fewer receive an AED shock. The information on PulsePoint is available to South Metro Fire Rescue dispatchers, but several factors can slow response time, Hurst said. “Depending on many variables like weather and traffic, our firefighter EMTs and firefighter paramedics may take several minutes responding with lights and sirens to reach a cardiac arrest patient,” Hurst said. “When a cardiac arrest occurs in a public location our 911 dispatch center (MetCom) will automatically send a CPR Needed Alert to anyone who has downloaded the PulsePoint App and is within 400 meters of the person needing help.” And that could make all the difference.
HOW TO GET THE APP For PulsePoint CPR, download the PulsePoint Foundation smartphone application. • Click on the menu bar in the top left corner and select “Agencies.” • Type in South Metro Fire District and select “Follow.” • To receive notifications, select “Settings” from the menu bar. • Check all areas you want to be notified about. The first option is CPR. For Pulsepoint AED, download the PulsePoint AED app. • Allow the app to use your location. • It will pull up a map with nearby AEDs. • Click on the AED for location details. • To add an AED, click the “ADD” option in the lower right corner. • You will be asked to create a username and password. From there, you can set a location, add a business and upload photos so users know exactly where the AED is.

4-H youths kick off show season By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com June 4 was a big day in the world of Colorado 4-H livestock participants. The 36th annual June Show, held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock, welcomed 80 participants and even more animals. “It’s a great opportunity for them to bring their animals and get them out in a practice-type show setting,” said Brenda Kwang, 4-H extension agent for Douglas County.

percent of her kidney function. She receives dialysis three times a week. But doctors say she will eventually need a new kidney, and she was recently placed on a transplant list. “We were told within one or two days (of the birth) that she might not make it,” said Wright’s husband, Tom. “Her liver and her kidneys weren’t responding.” After giving birth, Wright spent the next six weeks in the intensive care unit at Sky Ridge Medical Center. It wasn’t until August that Tom, Molly and Nolan could go home together for the first time. The ups and downs of becoming parents, while adjusting to Molly’s health problems, have at times been overwhelming. But Tom said his wife has never despaired. “I don’t know how she does it,” Tom said. “It’d be so easy to say, ‘I don’t deserve this, woe is me,’ but never has she done that.” Wright’s positivity is appar-

fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders in the Discover program. Condron said they did extensive research on the causes they selected as well. And they did it as a team. “I’m so impressed with the creativity and the collaboration, the way they worked together,” Condron said. “The kids made it all from scratch.” The idea for the event came from the fifth and sixth grade led by Stephanie Kawamura last year. Kawamura and her students were studying earth science when they identified issues that affected the environment such as overfishing. Kawamura and her students combined the lesson with what they were learning about probability and statistics and decided to host a carnival to take their problem solving to a higher level. Approximately 550 students throughout the school were invited to purchase tickets for 25 cents apiece to play the games with all of the proceeds going to a selection of nonprofit groups. Ultimately, the tickets added up to a total of $1,100 that will be distributed to the Ecuador Earthquake Recovery Fund, the World
this school year when teachers presented them with what they thought was a hypothetical situation about kidney failure. When teachers told students the situation was, in fact, real and affected a teacher whom some of them had known since kindergarten, students immediately began thinking of ways to help.

Wildlife Fund, Stop Hunger Now, Feed My Starving Children, the ASPCA and 5 Gyres, a group that works to clean up pollution in the world’s oceans. Eleven-year-old sixth-grader Isabella Schneider and her team’s campaign is designed to help the Przewalski horse and Bengal tiger, both of which are endangered. Schneider volunteers with the World Wildlife Fund, which guided her choice of nonprofits to contribute to. “I am kind of biased because I work for them,” she said. Schneider said students conducted research, wrote an essay and created a video in addition to participating in the fun and games. “Starving children is a problem in our world,” said Kassandra Elliott, an 11-year-old sixth-grader. “I hope to make a change.” Elliott helped design the game “Flying Dice,” wherein dice and a numbered spinner are used together to award the player a specific number of erasers or Starburst candies. Elliott said her charity of choice is Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit that spends over 90 percent of its funds on food for impoverished children in more than 70 countries around the world. Elliott also volunteers for the group in her spare time. “I think it’s really fun, I really enjoy the looks on the kids’ faces when they win prizes and stuff,” said Elliott.

Bike to Work Day is June 22 The Town of Parker and Rocky Vista University are promoting Colorado’s Bike to Work Day with free food and gifts on June 22. The Town of Parker Breakfast Station, located at the Cherry Creek Trail under the E-470 over-

The Funky Brewster will provide complimentary coffee and Natural Grocers will offer nutrition bars and water. T-shirts will be given to the first 250 riders to visit the breakfast station.

a video they produced at an assembly of more than 300 third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders and more than 40 staff members, parents and Molly Wright’s family members. The highlight of the video is an interview with Wright, conducted by an off-camera student. The child asks about her life, her health issues and if all the health problems she’s gone through have been worth it. “It is totally worth it,” Wright said. “I get to see (Nolan’s) smiling face every day.” Just one day after the assembly, Wright got the call she thought would take years to receive. Holly Ross, a longtime friend of Molly Wright’s mother, had been going through the screening process since March. She was at the assembly, sitting with Wright’s family, as she watched student after student share their admiration for their teacher and their hope that she would find a donor. She said sitting in the audience, knowing that a plan was in the works, but unsure if they match would be successful, was nerveracking.
“You’re kind of sitting there and you’re loving what they’re doing but you’re so anxious,” Ross said. “My blood pressure must have gone up with all the waiting.” Wright is scheduled for transplant surgery June 20. On May 25, Wright went to Prairie Crossing to tell the students her search for a kidney was over. She said they took the news with a mixture of shock, disbelief and elation. Kimberly Bennett, a teacher at Prairie Crossing who was instrumental in helping organize the project, received an email from a student’s parent that night. “You have taught (my son) one of the greatest lessons he will ever learn in this life, the lesson of caring for others,” it read. Ross was impressed by the students’ work as well. She said she hopes they carry the lesson they learned from the experience throughout their lives. “They’re going to grow up with a whole different attitude towards” helping others, she said. “They can feel that they’re a part of helping their teacher get better.”
Xavier Pena, 11, didn’t have a preference for which nonprofit received the most funds from the carnival and he didn’t enjoy seeing players win either. “I like seeing people fail,” he said. His words sound harsh, but his reasoning is
shrewdly generous in a way only a fifthgrader could be. “Then they want to keep doing it so they spend more tickets and it sets off a chain reaction to make our world a better place.”

Finding time for family
Jasmyne Kettwick plays a board game with her daughter, Kingsley, 5, left, and her son, Cannon, 3. Kettwick, a family therapist, says it is crucial for working parents to find a daily routine in order to spend quality time with their children. Photos by Tom Skelley
Working parents face challenges to spend time with children
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Any working parent can relate to Tiffany Haynes. “It’s hard,” she said. “Balancing work and sports and all of that stuff. I feel like nine times out of 10 I’m just trying to make ends meet.” Like millions of Americans, Haynes works full time while raising her family. She runs her own housecleaning service in Parker and has three children, all of whom are involved in various sports outside of school. “I make time with my kids whenever I can,” she said, “but most of the time, that time is at sporting events.” She recently got engaged, but Haynes has been a single working parent for nine years. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, she’s among millions of mothers who support their families. In 2015, 70.8 percent of women in single-parent households worked full time. It would seem that having two parents in the home would decrease the strain on schedules and allow more time for families to be together, but data indicate that isn’t the case. In a 45-year study, the Pew Research Center found the number of families in which both parents work full time has increased from 31 percent to 46 percent between 1970 and 2015. Both parents work at least part time in 60.6 percent of all American families, according to whitehouse.gov. Parents in the Pew study also reported that more time on the job and less time at
home takes a toll on their ability to have meaningful family time. Approximately 40 percent of working mothers reported they spend too little time with their children, and 50 percent of working fathers said the same. Numbers indicate the problem is growing, but statistics don’t tell the whole story. “It definitely is getting worse,” said Jasmyne Kettwick,
a family therapist in Parker who’s seen an increase in parents who say they are too busy to spend enough time with their children. “People are working a lot harder to really get ahead. It takes much more to buy a home, to pay off student loan debt … we are working harder and longer.” Family continues on Page 15

The ‘Facebook Effect’ Other factors, like social media, contribute to the issue, Kettwick said. The “Facebook Effect,” she said, comes into play when a parent sees peers posting images that portray a successful work life paired with an ideal family life, regardless of whether or not that image is real. Kettwick says it’s important to remember that social media posts show only what the poster wants the world to see. But the effect can still be upsetting for a parent who struggles to balance work and family. “It can bring them down if they see others achieving something they aren’t able to achieve,” Kettwick said, “if they see something on social media like Facebook that they would like to do, but they feel it’s unattainable because they are too strapped for money or time or energy.” Haynes knows what Kettwick means. “I work full time and I see these moms posting things,” she said. “Part of me wants to say `What do these people do?’ How do they find time to make homemade cupcakes for their kid’s class when I barely have time to go to the grocery store and buy them for my kids’ classes?’ ” Another catalyst for stress among working parents is the idea that they have to be successful in every aspect of life. “The glorification of busy,” Kettwick said, leads many working parents to try too hard to have it all. “There are so many things to get right,” Kettwick said. “You have to have a nice home that’s put together like all the homes you see on HGTV, you have to be able to provide meals for your family that are healthy and presentable, you have to be able to have a job where you can sustain a certain lifestyle, and you have to be able to get your kids to all their activities.” Jennifer Winship doesn’t want to have it all. She just wants 20 minutes with her sons. Winship and her husband, Eric, share custody of her two sons, Brennan, 16, and Jakeb, 11, with her ex-husband. The alternating weeks that the boys spend with their father give her and Eric time to connect. But on the weeks the boys are with them in their Parker home, things can get hectic. Eric works 40 hours a week and Jennifer works between 40 and 50. Jakeb is involved in a computer club and swimming six days a week and Brennan is

‘Relax isn’t an option’ Audrey Beckman and her husband, Wade, each work full time and their children, 10-yearold Arika and 7-year-old Bear, participate in activities including soccer, swimming, baseball, band and fencing. “ ‘Relax’ isn’t an option,” she said. Beckman leaves for work early each morning, so her husband feeds the children breakfast and gets them to school. But the family tries to have dinner together most nights. Beckman says they live within their means, eating in instead of frequenting restaurants, and saving up for extras instead of charging them to a credit card. While they would like to take a vacation “to someplace that doesn’t rhyme with ‘Dakota,’ ” Beckman says she accepts that they will have to wait, at least until the kids are grown. Like many families, a lot of family time is spent at sporting
events. She feels like she and her husband do “pretty well” at being available for their children, but Beckman says the couple relies on friends and other neighborhood parents to fill in gaps in their family schedule. “We’ve discovered that it really takes a village to raise kids,” she said. Erin Jones and her husband, Adam, also have a village of family and friends to support them. Adam travels frequently, leaving Erin to hold down the fort with her 2-year-old son, Jack, during the day. She usually works evenings after the children are in bed. A marketing specialist, Jones says she’s grateful she can work from home, but ends up working a lot of late nights and weekends. She schedules her workload around the time she’s able to spend with her children, and she calls on her parents and friends for child care when she needs to catch up. “There’s never a dull moment,” Jones said.
you go.” Single-parent families like Haynes and her children face a tougher challenge to find family time, but Kettwick says quality is more important than quantity. After a long workday many single parents feel drained. They may not have enough down time to help with homework or read with them, but finding one simple thing to build a routine around can make all the difference to children, Kettwick says. “All kids crave having a routine,” she said. Finding one activity — setting the table, preparing dinner or even watching television together — can provide the “quality time piece” children and the parent can count on. “It helps both of them know
that this is something that will be done, each day,” she said. Kettwick says everyone’s idea of the perfect family routine or activity is different. What matters, she says is simply being together. “Kids just want to spend time with their parents,” she said. “They don’t need it to be perfect.” Haynes doesn’t need an expert to tell her that. She says she rarely eats dinner with her children and they spend an average of 10 hours a week together, mostly on weekends, “going from one sporting event to the next.” But she doesn’t complain. “I don’t feel like we’re missing out on good family time,” she said. “It’s just when you have working parents, this becomes your new normal.”
Two families share their daily routines
Jennifer Winship exercises with her son Jakeb, 11, at their home in Parker. Winship says she accepts that she will be tired until her sons are grown and move out of the house. on a robotics team, plays football and just landed a student internship at Lockheed Martin. “We try to do dinner together — that is the time we come around and ask `How was your day?’ and find out what’s going on the next day,” Jennifer said. “It’s kind of our time to regroup. Even if it’s only 20 minutes, we try to figure that out.” Despite family dinner being a priority, Eric and Jennifer say they still have “FFYN” or “fend-for-yourself-night” about once a week, when schedules and fatigue dictate an a la carte menu. Jennifer and Eric say their family doesn’t compare their situation to others on social media. They may not have the ideal life Kettwick says many families strive for, but they’re happy with the one they have. “This is life,” Jennifer said with a shrug. “As a parent, I accept the fact that for the next however many years I have with them, I’m going to be tired, and I’m OK with that. It is what it is and when you reach levels of acceptance in life and you realize that this is just part of it, it’s not such a burden.”
Making family time a priority Like many of her clients, Kettwick says she does creative scheduling and utilizes her parents. Her husband, Andy, is out of state four days a week and their calendar forces them to plan the time they will spend together. Making family time a priority is essential, Kettwick said, for parents to overcome the feeling that they just don’t have enough time to be with their children. And, she says, it’s something all families can do. A family dinner, going bowling or having a game night can provide the time a family needs to bond and connect, but Kettwick says it needs to be planned in advance so family members can look forward to it instead of looking back on it as a missed opportunity. “Create a couple of really strong goals for your family … something small to start with,” Kettwick said. “Make it attainable, and actually schedule it in … You can also have it be something more general, like saying `these are the five things I want us to do this summer,’ and then make sure you fit them in as

Don’t forget the music for summer fun For me, no other season goes with music like summer does. In Colorado, summer is peak concert season — hiking up Red Rocks to see world-class performers or finding your favorite local band playing on a local patio. All the pool parties, backyard barbecues and evening block parties call for tunes blasting out of a boom box. Summer is also when Americans take to the road, and the right music makes a long road trip a more transClarke Reader porting experience. To help give your LINER summer the best NOTES soundtrack possible, here are some album recommendations for various summertime scenarios. The first four picks are for the day and latter four for night, so you should be covered ‘round the clock. Backyard barbecues — Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment — “Surf” One of the best parts about summer is spending time outside with friends and family, and if you can add food to the mix, what could be better? Chicago’s Donnie Trumpet brings jazz, funk, R&B and hip-hop together in one
place, and the result is pure sonic sunshine. “Surf” is the album I play when I want to be happy. It captures in audio form what it feels like to laugh with your friends and shrug off the cares of the world for a little while. In short, it’s a summer afternoon. Roadtripping — Bob Seger — “Greatest Hits” With that gravelly voice and Detroit rock sound, Bob Seger’s music was made for the open road. Since travelers take to the roads en masse in the summer, that means Seger should be playing in every car as they hit the highway. My parents took my brother and I camping in the mountains a couple times every summer growing up, and Seger’s music was in consistent rotation during those trips. Songs like “Against the Wind” and “Like A Rock” are perfect matches for tires spinning and the country passing by the window. Pool day — Stan Getz and João Gilberto — “Getz/Gilberto” One of the most popular jazz albums of all time, saxophonist Stan Getz joined Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto and songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim to make music so sun-drenched it should come with sunscreen. Standards like “The Girl from Ipanema” are quintessential layout music, and the whole album is smooth and relaxing. It hits just the right notes for a day on the beach
CLaRkE’S aLBuM Of THE WEEk Selection: Tegan and Sara’s “Love You to Death,” released on Warner Brothers. Review: The brightest and most layered pop album of the year thus far, sisters Tegan and Sara Quin deliver wry social discourse over wildly danceable beats. All the songs are sharply written meditations on the messiness of adult relationships, and the whole album flies by at just around 31 minutes. You’ll want to hit play again as soon as it ends. Favorite song: “Boyfriend” Most romantic lyrics: “Now I wanna write a love song Even though you never ever ask me for one Write you a letter, send sweet poems Ask for forgiveness, tell you I was wrong.” -from “U-turn”
at Bear Creek Lake or your apartment complex pool. Stuck in traffic — The Hold Steady — “Boys and Girls in America” Summer can’t be all fun and games. Most of us have to work, and that means enduring some kind of commute in the
baking heat while enviously watching kids have fun. The right music can save any situation, and The Hold Steady’s mix of bar rock and Bruce Springsteen-style anthems makes the mundane seem epic. Even something as aggravating as traffic. Songs like “Stuck Between Stations” will have you raising your fists in jubilation, and “Southtown Girls” is a great singalong for hollering out your window. Trust me, I’ve done it. Block party — Carly Rae Jepsen — “E•MO•TION” Summer nights are the best part of the season — it cools down enough so gathering outside isn’t an invitation to sunstroke, and you have summer stars to watch. That feeling of freedom, of warmth and friendship that accompanies those great summer block parties, is joyously encapsulated in Carly Rae Jepsen’s “E•MO•TION.” The album captures everything great about pop — danceable rhythms, singalong-ready choruses and repeatability. Her music sounds great coming from a boom box and provides the perfect background tunes. You may just find yourself dancing to it. Evening at home — Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band — “The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Shuffle” Despite how much we may want it to Reader continues on Page 17

City parties — Kanye West — “Graduation” Certain music sounds better surrounded by city lights and the incessant hubbub of chatter — the kind of music you can play going down the 16th Street Mall on a busy Saturday night to keep you moving. Kanye West’s third album, “Graduation,” is his sleekest work and tailormade for blaring out of car windows in time with the pulsation of neon lights. It features party anthems like “Good Life” and “Stronger” as well as club bangers like “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and “Barry Bonds.” Electricity courses through this
In the car with friends — Japandroids — “Celebration Rock” If there’s a theme running through my selections, it’s that most of this music goes with spending time with friends. And that’s fitting, because summer, perhaps more than any other season, encourages spending time with others. Japandroids’ seminal “Celebration Rock” is the thunderous, epic soundtrack for car rides with friends. The kinds of rides full of memories of past adventures, plans for futures ones, and that honesty you can only have with the people who know you best.

Stampede rolls through Elizabeth Country music concert kicks off big weekend By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media The Memorial Day holiday may be the unofficial start to summer, but a stampede helps to draw the big crowds. The 52nd annual Elizabeth Stampede and Rodeo struck on June 2 with a Tracy Lawrence concert at Casey Jones Park. Charlie Burd, who has been a volunteer with the Ski-Hi Stampede Committee in Monte Vista for 40 years, worked as an adviser to the Elizabeth Stampede on the concert. He said that although the concert did not sell out, it was a success, especially for a first year. Lawrence primed the rodeo crowd for the three days of Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeos beginning the evening of June 3 with Xtreme Bull Riding, where 50 PRCA cowboys attempted eight seconds of mastery on bulls with names like Gator Face and Rough N Tumble. For those who didn’t get enough rodeo on that Friday evening, the Stampede offered three full rodeo performances over the weekend, the Family Day Rodeo and a Colorado Rodeo Legend performance on June 4, and the Red White & Blue Rodeo on the afternoon of June 5. Dances followed the evening rodeos. The Saturday-morning Stampede Parade on June 4 was also a hit for visitors old and new. “We’re fitted out with cowboy hats and boots, and we’re ready to roam,” said Mary Anne Follestad who moved to Parker from Norway with her family in March. According to Lea Anne Russell, community relations chair for the Stampede, the parade drew nearly a third more participants than last year. The string of antique cars and tractors, political candidates, bands and horses filled the entire town when the first of the 78 entrants returned to the start-finish point just as the last in line were setting out on the route. “Because of the weather we had more walking entrants, more people per entry,” Russell said. But concerts, dances and rodeos were not the only draws for crowds over the weekend. In addition to the Stampede, the Elizabeth Area Chamber of Commerce held its annual ElizaBash Street Fair and Carnival. New to ElizaBash this year was a full carnival including a Ferris wheel, a petting zoo and a bungee trampoline. “We get people in from Douglas County and from Limon,” said Claudia Henning of the Elizabeth Area Chamber of Commerce. “This is a very big event; the biggest weekend for Elizabeth.” “Yes, we have 500,000 people here,” joked Chamber of Commerce board member Jenny West. Though West’s jest may be slightly embellished, the Stampede Parade and ElizaBash swelled the population of Elizabeth to around four times normal, and one police officer’s estimate of the crowd during the parade and ElizaBash was 5,000 to 7,000.

The Elizabeth Area Chamber of Commerce added a four-day carnival to the list of activities over the weekend. The chamber added the carnival to complement the activities over the weekend as well as provide a familyfriendly alternative to the rodeo.

Local standouts take field for national team U.S. women’s soccer squad faces Japan in Commerce City By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mallory Pugh and Lindsey Horan, two local soccer standouts, highlighted the match — an exhibition game known as a friendly — between the national teams of the United States and Japan on June 4 before a sellout crowd at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. Horan, a Golden High School graduate and a second-half substitute, scored in the 89th minute as the U.S. overcame a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead. But, what appeared to be a comeback victory turned into a 3-3 tie against a disciplined, pressing, ballcontrol Japanese team. Japan, competing with only 10 players because captain Japanese captain Yuki Ogimi was ejected for a second yellow card, scored in stoppage time on a U.S. defensive breakdown to gain the tie. “It was awesome,” said Horan, who is nursing a hip injury but was OK to be among the 18 players on the roster. “You want to come into the game and impact it. For the team it was a great goal but in the grand scheme of things, we tied.” Pugh, who graduated May 18 from Mountain Vista high school, proved to be an 18-year-old that can compete with some of the world’s best players. She started and played the entire game. Pugh took a chip from Crystal Dunn, beat a Japanese defender, and then with good vision, found Alex Morgan with a quick pass. Morgan scored the first USA goal in the 27th minute and Pugh gained her team-leading sixth assist for the national team in 2016. In the 84th minute, Pugh was pulled down while chasing a loose ball, which set up a free kick. Morgan scored her second goal of the game to tie the score at 2-2.
After an assist to teammate Alex Morgan, Mallory Pugh celebrates the first United States goal of the game. At almost 30 minutes into the first half, Pugh passed to Morgan and Morgan hit the shot, putting the U.S. at a deficit of only one goal. This was Pugh’s sixth assist this season. Photo by Conner Davis “It was amazing,” Pugh said. “Knowing that we were playing a good opponent here and with my teammates around me and my friends and family was really cool.” Japan and the U.S. were finalists in the past two World Cups and the 2012 Olympics. Japan won the 2011 World Cup, while the U.S. claimed the 2012 Olympic and 2015 World Cup championships. That was part of the reason that the match sold out in a little more than 10 minutes and 18,572 fans witnessed the game, cheering almost every time the U.S. made a rush into the offensive zone. Morgan was amazed with Pugh and the crowd. “I feel like Mal is always Mal, the same every day,”
Morgan said. “She never looks nervous to me. She is always true to herself. I love that part of Mal. She always looks like she has a lot of confidence when she takes on other players. “I don’t know if we have ever sold out a game (as) quickly as we did with this game. The stadium was awesome and helped us get through that 2-0 deficit. I have to give credit to the fans.” Pugh and Horan were two of three Colorado youth players on the 24-player USA team that must be reduced to 18 for the Olympics, which begin Aug. 3 in Rio de Janeiro. With only 18 players allowed to suit up for the June 2 game, Valor Christian graduate and de-
fender Jaelene Hinkle was one of the six who did not play. Here is a look at the three Colorado players. Jaelene Hinkle Hinkle, 23, is a 2010 graduate of Valor Christian. She played youth soccer for Colorado Real, and has been part of the U.S. National program for the past six years. She played at Texas Tech and has been playing professional soccer for the Hinkle Western New York Flash. She made her debut on the U.S. Women’s National Team last October.
She is proud to be representing Colorado on a national platform. “Two clubs come to mine: Real Colorado and Rush Colorado soccer,” she said. “Even when I was younger, those were two big soccer clubs and the directors of both soccer clubs have really done a lot taking Colorado soccer to the next level, getting kids at a young age to start playing so that there is more time to develop and make them better soccer players. “It’s a really big step in the right direction. It says a lot about Colorado’s direction, dedication and commitment to soccer and developing world-class players.” Soccer continues on Page 24
Valor coach says goodbye after winning baseball title It’s nice to go out on top like Peyton Manning or John Elway after Super Bowl wins. While he’s not retiring, Valor Christian baseball coach Keith Wahl is leaving on top. Two days after his team won the Class 4A state baseball championship, Wahl announced he was resigning. Wahl told his team the morning of May 31 and later that day Valor Christian issued a news release stating that Wahl had accepted a job as athletic director at Briarwood Christian, a K-12 school in Birmingham, Alabama. “I want to thank everyone at Valor for my time over the past nine years,” Wahl said in the statement. Wahl was also an assistant athletic director at Valor. He has been at Valor since the school opened in 2007 and he leaves after compiling a 127-61 record with
six league baseball championships and one state title. “We are very thankful for the years of coaching, teaching and ministry that coach Wahl has given to our students at Valor Christian,” said Athletic Director Jim Benton Jamie Heiner in the same statement. “He OVERTIME has built a strong foundation for future success in the baseball program and we look forward to building on that foundation in the coming years.” New Mountain Vista AD Shawn Terry is the new athletic direc-
tor at Mountain Vista. Terry was the AD at Northridge High School in Greeley last year and takes over at Vista for Pat McCabe. Before assuming duties at Northridge, Terry was activities director at William Chrisman in Independence, Missouri, and was the AD/assistant principal at Leavenworth High School in Kansas. Lakewood resident in top 10 Lakewood resident Doug Wherry, who owns and operates Jake’s Academy junior elite golf school at the Lone Tree Golf Club, finished tied for sixth in the Colorado Senior Open June 1-3 at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club. Wherry, the 1981 state golf champion at Cherry Creek High School, had rounds of 69, 74 and 70 to finish with a 2-under par 211 total to win $1,700.
During the three rounds, the former All-American at Texas-El Paso had 12 birdies, 33 pars and nine bogeys. Four of the bogeys came during his 2-over-par second round. Help wanted sign at Arapahoe Arapahoe is looking for a new baseball coach. Luke Muller, an Arapahoe graduate, told athletic director Steve Sisler that the 2016 season would be his last as Warriors head coach because he wanted to spend more time with his family. In the past nine seasons, Arapahoe has gone 100-81 under Muller, 36. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968.

Lacrosse player honored Soccer Continued from Page 21
Munro takes award for all-around skills By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Colin Munro makes highlight-reel plays with his behindthe-back goals and passes, but his offensive skills aren’t only things that make him the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year. “He’s worked hard at putting that skill into his repertoire,” his dad and Mountain Vista coach Jamie Munro responded when asked about his son’s behind-the-back skill. “In lacrosse, most people don’t do that. It would be like in hockey if you switched hands all the time instead of using your backhand. It takes time to learn the skill and the confidence to use it. “Colin gets the notoriety for scoring goals, but for a nonfaceoff guy he was one of the leaders in ground balls on the team and he also played a lot on defense. He was one of our set defensive guys, and as an offensive player he is just a good versatile player that can do things in a lot of different ways.” Colin Munro, who perfected his behind-the-back abilities by practicing on a wooden board in his backyard as a youngster, was switched to a midfield position from attack this season, but that didn’t affect his offensive contributions. “The nice thing about it (behind-the-back passes and shots) is you can throw it a little later to a spot and kind of let
Mountain Vista’s Colin Munro is Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year. Photo by Paul DiSalvo people run after it,” explained Colin. “It’s hard to guard because a lot of people don’t see it coming.” Munro, a junior who has committed to play lacrosse at North Carolina, led the Douglas County League with 54 goals and 84 points. He was second among Class 5A players in goals and third with points for Mountain Vista, which finished the season 18-2 after a 5A semifinal playoff upset loss to Arapahoe. “It was a really fun season but a little disappointing finish
for us,” said Colin, who will again play box lacrosse most of the summer in British Columbia. “I would say I like attack better but the team needed me to play some defense, and I love playing defense because I love being out there. It was pretty fun to be able to play both and be able to shoot. “Box lacrosse is a tremendous help with my shooting, catching and finishing and toughness. It goes a long ways to make me a better field player.”
Lindsey Horan Horan, 22, graduated from Golden High School, but didn’t play prep soccer and instead played for the Colorado Rush. After graduation in 2012 she turned down an offer to play at the University of North Carolina and signed a professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Her conHoran tract with Paris Saint-Germain was terminated after three seasons so she could return to the United States and she signed with the Portland Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League in January. She was called up to the national team late in 2015. “It was probably one of the most difficult things I’ve done,” Horan said about signing a pro contract to play in Paris at a young age. “Playing overseas, playing in a new culture, and in the beginning just being away from home, were very difficult for me. “It just game me the experience at playing at a high level, being in a new country and learning things on my own. That was an experience you couldn’t get anywhere else. Going to college is new and different but going overseas was a whole new world. Then on the soccer side you are playing with so many international players and just learning from them and learning from all their experience gave me a lot.” Horan knows it will be tough to make the 18-player team for
June 10, 2016 the Rio Olympics. “Everyone here is competing for a spot and picking the roster will be semi soon,” she said. “Anytime I was training with Rush, my goal was to make the national team. Everything I did was to fulfill that dream I had.” Mallory Pugh Pugh, 18, elected not to play for Mountain Vista this spring and instead trained with the Real U16 boys Academy team. However, she was on the roster, sat on the Vista bench and supported the team. The Golden Eagles played in the state championship game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on May 18, falling 2-1 to Grandview. Pugh returned and got Pugh to play at the venue with the U.S. Women’s National Team with a chance to make the Olympic roster. “I didn’t play in the state championship and it was weird sitting on the sidelines,” she said. “Being here with the National Team had an impact and being in my hometown was special. “It was tough sitting on the sidelines for high school games. Sitting on the sidelines of any game is tough but in the back of my mind I was thinking about getting better and the best environment for me was with the boys academy team. That’s what I did to prepare me.” Pugh took a step toward earning a spot on the Olympic team with a solid game against Japan on June 2. “I always thought my freshman year about the 2016 Olympics,” she said. “I wondered if I could ever make that, I’m still wondering and driving to do that.”
Castle View athlete acclaimed Golf in spotlight for Heritage senior Mackin named Player of Year in girls soccer
Julie Mackin is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year. File photo
By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Honors keep piling up for Castle View soccer player Julie Mackin. She was tabbed as the Continental League Player of the Year. Gatorade named her as the Colorado Gatorade Girls Soccer Player of the Year. And, Colorado Community Media has selected Mackin as the South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year. Mackin, a 5-foot-4 senior who will play next season at Clemson University, helped the Sabercats compile a 10-7-0 record and advance into the Class 5A state playoffs. “Julie Mackin’s pace and skill while on the dribble is exceptional,” said Rock Canyon coach Mat Henbest. “She is the reason for nearly all of the Sabercats’ success.” Mackin, who maintained a 3.68 grade point average, played in 13 games for Castle View as a forward and scored 14 goals and had four assists for 33 points or an average of 2.5 points per game. She wound up her high school career with 50 goals and 23 assists while splitting her time with U.S. national soccer teams and track. She was the two-time defending Continental League long jump champion. Mackin was a member of the Under 18 United States Women’s National team that partici-
pated during March in Spain’s La Manga Tournament. She was a defender on the national team which confirms her versatility. Sabercats’ coach Mary White echoed Henbest’s comments about Mackin. “Julie was a key player in our offense,” White said. “She was one of the leading scorers in the
Continental League. The big thing about Julie is she is a total game changer. “She gets on the field and she can control the pace of the game. She’s so fast she can beat players on the run. She is tenacious, competitive and she was also one of the most coachable kids.”
Kempton skips tennis and wins south metro honors By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Heritage High School senior Joanna Kempton focused on golf this spring and proved that paying attention to one sport in the spring can be beneficial. Kempton divided her time and efforts in three previous years between golf and tennis, but this spring decided to abandon tennis. “This was the first year she focused solid on golf; as you could tell by her scores, she wasn’t splitting time between golf and tennis,” said Eagles coach Matt Kennan. “She shot between 71 and 79 in all the tournaments.” Kempton was named the Colorado Community Media Girls Golfer of the Year, and concentrating on one sport was an advantage that was noted when she added up strokes on the scorecard. “It helped me out a lot because I got to work in practice a lot more,” said Kempton. “It was a lot less stressful for me.
I wanted to become consistent all year. I wanted to practice it all but I spend more time on my short game.” Kempton was the medalKempton ist at the Class 5A Northern Regional qualifying tournament May 9 when she fired a 1-underpar 71 at the Ptarmigan Golf and Country Club. “That was my best round of the season,” she recalled. “I played pretty well. Everything was kind of working for me. I wasn’t thinking too much on what I was doing. I was just hitting the greens and I was making my putts.” Kempton was the top finisher among South Metro golfers at the 5A state tournament, which was held May 23-24 at Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora. She had back-to-back rounds of 79 and finished ninth with a 158 total. “I know I probably could have done better,” said Kempton, who will be attending Colorado State University in the fall but won’t play golf. “My goal was to make the top 10. I did that and was pretty happy.”
