Parker Cruisers raise record amount for charity Parker Task Force to receive more than $11,000 from annual car show BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Parker Cruisers raised $11,285 for the Parker Task Force in the group’s annual CarFest fundraising event June 10. The amount raised was the most ever in the event’s history. More than 130 cars, from classic bugs to Shelbys, lined the parking lot of the Parker Public Library on the final day of the Parker Days Festival in the club’s 10th annual event to raise money for charity. All proceeds from registration and sponsorships went to the Parker Task Force in what Jeni Mellott, coordinator of the event, said was the club’s biggest year yet. “Our goal was to surpass what we raised last year, which we did,” Mellott said. “It’s an organization we all believe in because we’re all just trying to do something good for the community.”

away from the Mainstreet site it had occupied in the past. “I think the momentum has built here over a year and the Parker Cruisers did a great job of getting out there and getting enthusiasm for the event,” said Diane Roth, public relations coordinator for the Parker Task Force. The Parker Task Force, like many charities, sees a dip in donations in
the summer time compared to the amount people donate during the holiday season. The Parker Cruisers CarFest has been one of the main cogs in helping the Parker Task Force operate. “Honestly, the task force could not survive and operate the way it does unless the people in the community supported us, and the Parker Cruisers supported us and we can’t thank them enough,” said Diane Roth, public affairs director for the Parker Task Force. The Parker Task Force is a nonprofit organization that provides short-term support for people who have hit financial troubles. No fee was charged for entrance, attracting scores of families and kids from the Parker Days Festival who ogled the club’s proud collection of classic and scrupulously maintained cars. Cars from classic Beetles to Chevrolet Impalas to race cars to even one with a caged turkey in the back for show made up the lineup. “We always tell people it doesn’t matter what you drive as long as you love it,” Mellott said.
Stonegate Village board denies prairie dog relocation petition A petition to relocate about 30 prairie dogs as an alternative to fumigation was denied BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Stonegate Village Metropolitan District board of directors officially denied the motion to relocate about 30 prairie dogs in the area June 20. The prairie dog colony was originally killed by a private exterminator, but some survived. The June 20 decision meant the extermination of the remaining prairie dogs. Prairie Protection Colorado, an activist group aiming to relocate the prairie dogs, filed a petition to move the prairie dogs to a private piece of land in Sedalia, the same location where a colony of Castle Rock prairie dogs were moved after a similar dispute in 2015. Now the activists are protesting the fumigation method used
to kill the prarie dogs. According to attendees of the June 20 meeting, the board said the prarie dogs would be killed using carbon monoxide, but instead the exterminator used the fumigant Fumitoxin. Stonegate Village Metro District officials declined to comment. Colorado Parks and Wildlife would have needed to approve the relocation of the prairie dogs because of the delicate environmental needs of the specific species of prairie dog. They denied the request based on a previous decisions regarding a situation with Castle Rock prairie dogs in 2015, which stated the move to the same Sedalia location was a one-time allowance. The prairie dogs in Stonegate Village are black-tailed prairie dogs and the proposed relocation spot was not part of the prairie dogs’ natural habitat, even though the relocated colony there now is of the same species. Deanna Meyer, director of Prairie Protection Colorado and owner of the land of the proposed relocation, said the colony there is thriving and would have been able to welcome more to the colony.

Renaissance Festival comes to life BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
T
he Colorado Renaissance Festival in Larkspur opened its doors for the second weekend this summer last weekend. The festival, inspired by the 16th century, boasts a village of permanent structures that come to life with hundreds of actors over the summer. The actors, portraying “merrymakers” living and working in the village, stay in character as they interact with guests of the festival. Shows and various acts take over seven stages throughout the day, entertaining large crowds.
Eventgoers also line up for elephant rides, enjoy jousting competitions, small rides and numerous other activities. Many people who attend carefully craft on-theme costumes to wear during their visit. On June 23, Gabie Chamness, of Westminster, wore a green, leafy ensemble complete with a staff of greenery. Chamness said she’s a regular at the festival and this year wore a costume inspired by her love of nature. “I come every year that I can,” she said. “I try to come every weekend.” The festival is held at 650 W. Perry Park Ave. and runs through Aug. 5. For more information, go to coloradorenaissance.com

School board reviews superintendent’s entry plan Thomas Tucker starts his role in Douglas County on July 1 BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As the start date for the new superintendent of the Douglas County School District approaches, members of the school board are in the process of reviewing an entry plan with goals and expectations for him. Thomas Tucker, superintendent of Princeton City Schools in Cincinnati, Ohio, since 2015, will start as superintendent in Tucker Douglas County on July 1. The school board selected Tucker in April, after a months-long, nationwide search. At a June 19 school board meeting, members discussed Tucker’s entry plan with him via speakerphone. Tucker has not yet relocated to Douglas County. Board member Kevin Leung raised questions about how Tucker will foster a relationship with the community. He pointed to 2010, when the former school board hired Elizabeth Fagen as superintendent. She introduced evaluation and salary systems that many people say spurred an exodus of quality educa-
tors from the district. “We had a disaster experience last time around,” Leung said to Tucker. “What will you do to ensure you’re here for the community?” Tucker’s entry plan outlines the “nonnegotiable” aspects of his role: Serve students by acting with integrity and honesty, remain focused on student success and academic achievement, explore opportunities to increase the district’s performance, model lifelong learning and professionalism, promote risk-taking and cultivate innovation. “It’s important that I personally know as many of our 68,000 students as possible,” Tucker said during the phone call. “It shouldn’t be a big surprise when I come into the building.” Tucker’s action plan is made up of four goals: create a structure to listen and learn about Douglas County School District; establish a strong working relationship with the board of education; study the district’s student-performance status and budget; and promote a culture of excellence with a focus on student achievement. Each goal has a list of bullet points detailing how the goal will be achieved, as well as a timeline of either 30, 60 or 90 days from Tucker’s start date. In the June 19 conversation, Tucker highlighted the board’s five end-statements, approved in March to serve as continuous goals for the school district. They include academic excellence, outstanding educators and staff, positive

Abe Laydon wins GOP primary for county commissioner Opponent Diane Holbert conceded race shortly after polls closed BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Abe Laydon has won the Republican primary election for District 1 Douglas County Commissioner over Diane Holbert — who’s currently serving in an interim position on the board. Holbert conceded to Laydon through a voicemail just after 7:30 p.m. June 26, when the first round of results were posted to the Colorado Secretary of State’s website, shortly after the polls closed at 7 p.m. “My goal was just to run a clean, positive campaign, focused on solutions,” Laydon said at a watch party June 26. “I’m thrilled that the people
of Douglas County acknowledged that.” Holbert, who previously served as the county treasurer, got a running start at the job and the party’s early favor in April when a Douglas County ReLaydon publican committee appointed her to fill a vacancy on the board of commissioners. Official results are not available until July 18, but as of 9 p.m. June 26, Laydon led the race with nearly 54 percent of the more than 33,600 ballots cast for commissioner. Laydon, an attorney from Lone Tree, will run against Democrat Mary Lynch in the general election. Lynch was uncontested in the Democratic primary. “I am grateful to have the opportunity to have served as treasurer and currently as commissioner,” said
Holbert, of Parker. The swearing-in of whoever wins the District 1 commissioner’s seat in November will take place in January. The historic election was the first open primary in Colorado, meaning unaffiliated voters could participate for the first time. As of June 1, Douglas County reported 48,853 registered Democrats, 107,147 registered Republicans and 87,576 unaffiliated voters. More than 3,800 voters were classified as “other.” Here’s a roundup of more contested Douglas County races. Clerk and Recorder Incumbent Merlin Klotz squared off with Bob Kennedy in the Republican primary. Klotz received 57 percent over Kennedy’s 43 percent. Klotz will face Carol Johnson, who ran uncontested in the Democratic primary, in the general election.
MORE RESULTS For results of statewide and congressional races, go to ColoradoCommunityMedia.com Klotz became the Douglas County clerk and recorder in 2014. Treasurer Dave Gill and Bob Muni were vying for the treasurer position on the Republican side. Gill prevailed with 61 percent of the vote. He’ll face Democrat Angie Hicks, who ran uncontested, in November. State House District 45 Incumbent state Rep. Patrick Neville, a Republican, will run against Democrat Danielle Kombo in the general election. Neville ran uncontested, and Kombo beat opponent Michael Hupp with 63 percent of the vote.

Leaders react to family separations on border White House rolled out, then halted, the policy of separating children BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Images of children in large cages created by chain-link metal fencing and a former Walmart-turnedmigrant shelter near the U.S. border with Mexico have turned attention to the Trump administration’s “zerotolerance” policy toward illegal entry into the country in recent weeks. But the administration reversed course — to an extent — with a June 20 executive order that aims to detain and hold migrant families together, instead of separating children from their families during the process. In the days leading up to that shift, a growing chorus of critics including Republican lawmakers decried the policy. “We support the administration’s efforts to enforce our immigration laws, but we cannot support implementation of a policy that results in the categorical forced separation of minor children from their parents,” said a letter written by 13 Republican senators, including Colorado’s
Cory Gardner, a Republican from Yuma, that was addressed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and released June 19. But with more than 2,300 children already separated from families in May and early June, the ripple effects — for families, Congress and DeGette the White House — will likely continue to reverberate. The practice began in April, when Sessions announced a zero-tolerance policy to prosecute as many border-crossing offenses as possible, national outlets reported. Coffman As a result, virtually all adults crossing the border are subject to criminal prosecution, with their children taken and placed in shelters. One such location is a former Walmart in Brownsville, Texas, with dorm-style bedrooms. It houses about 1,500 boys and had to act to expand its capacity in recent weeks, national outlets reported. A detention facility in nearby McAllen, Texas, one of the places where families are held together initially, uses a series of large chainlink cages where groups of people
sit in areas with small mats and “Mylar”-type thin, plastic blankets, the Associated Press and other outlets reported. Some migrants at certain entry points along the border can attempt to seek asylum — legal status for people who have been persecuted or fear persecution based on race or other characteristics — but even some asylum-seekers have been turned away and told facilities are too full for them, several outlets have reported. About 500 of the more than 2,300 children separated from families have been reunited, a Trump administration official told the Associated Press June 22, but it was unclear what the ongoing process to reunite families would be. A government hotline was set up to help parents locate children, but lawyers said some parents have been deported without their children, the New York Times reported June 17. Meanwhile, Colorado’s lawmakers and governor have weighed in on the policy: • “Americans of all political stripes have spoken out against this immoral policy. Yet the president and his administration continue to perpetuate falsehoods and blame others for their own cruelty,” said U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Denver, in a statement.
• “Tearing children from the arms of parents and then isolating them alone is antithetical to the America I grew up in, and to the America that I have many times fought to defend,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican from Aurora, in a tweeted statement. “This isn’t who we are.” • “Enough is enough. (Homeland Security) Secretary Nielsen should resign or be fired from her post,” U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, a Denver Democrat, said in a news release. “She has overseen an unprecedented humanitarian crisis ripping away thousands of young children from their parents without a clear path to reunification.” • “Despite days of lies and misdirection, it is clear President Trump had the authority to stop these inhumane practices all along,” said U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat from Arvada, in a statement. • The Trump administration’s “practice of separating children from their parents when arriving at the southern border is offensive to our core values as Coloradans and as a country,” an executive order signed June 18 by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper said. The order bars Colorado from using state resources to separate children from their parents or legal guardians on the sole ground of immigration status.

Board members cited inadequate programming to meet the needs of all students, including those with special needs, under enrollment across the district and an insufficient population as reasons. “A grave concern in the district is enrollment,” school board President David Ray said at the June 5 meeting. “We really have to make sure we are making wise decisions when we grow schools in our district.” The charter school would have been the second founded by Judy and Barry

About a dozen parents and children in matching black shirts with “Alexandria” written in yellow left a recent Douglas County School Board meeting in frustration. The STEM-inspired school they were representing was denied a charter application for the second time by the board of education. “It really brings a lot of technological innovation to students who are
“I just want to say how impressed I am with the support from the business community that you are able to muster. It is incredible,” board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said. “ I hope you can muster that support for existing schools.” The former school board first denied the school’s charter application in 2017. On May 29, Judy Brannberg submitted a revised application addressing six mandatory contingencies that weren’t met in the original application. “A charter school success depends on a diversity of support,” Brannberg said at the meeting. “ASI has parent commitment, support from community leaders, support from the business and industry community, and collaboration from higher-education leaders.”
Brannberg, who in 2011 opened STEM School and Academy in Highlands Ranch. The sought-after location for the middle and high school of Alexandria School of Innovation was 14 acres of land near Lucent Boulevard and C-470 in Highlands Ranch. Primary grades would have been served at a different location. If approved, the school would have eventually served 1,225 students in grades K-12. In addition to emphasizing the four major components of a STEM school — science, technology, engineering and math — the Alexandria School would have included the arts and athletics. Plans called for a unique campus made up of research labs driven by business and industry professionals. Board members liked the idea of a school collaborating with the business community.

Expect annual boom in lowbrow behavior
t doesn’t hurt to ask, but I know what you’re going to say. Wouldn’t it be nice if the Fourth of July came and went without any residential explosions? They’re illegal. They’re annoying. They’re inconsiderate. They negatively impact those who experience PTSD, those with pets (especially dogs), and those, like me, who consider them a juvenile form of entertainment. “Look, it blowed up.” It goes on every year because we’re entitled to do as we please, no matter how it might affect others. Americans are not widely known for being considerate. We take spray paint into national parks. Earlier this year, Delaware resident Michael Rohana was accused of breaking off a terracotta warrior’s thumb at Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute. On the way back to Delaware, Rohana allegedly bragged about sneaking into the exhibition and stealing the thumb. If you don’t consider either of
those a big deal, please move on to another column. Wouldn’t it be much nicer if everyone celebrated July Fourth with QUIET backyard gatherDESPERATION ings that maximized conversation and minimized skyrockets and mortar shells? Nah. When it comes to the Fourth, silence isn’t golden. Far from it. “It’s a tradition,” I’m told over and Craig Marshall over. Smith So is hazing. Hazing will never end as long as there are fraternities somewhere. Boys will be boys, you say? Ask your son who went through it. I am a wet blanket. A spoilsport. No doubt about it. Maybe I was raised wrong. I guess if something I were to do might bother someone, I wouldn’t do it. That’s why I don’t mow my lawn
at midnight, even though I am always up, and there’s plenty of lamp light. My neighborhood sounds like a war zone on the Fourth. Then, late, it goes quiet. Have there been times when I wanted to get out the mower? Absolutely. But, like I said, I was raised wrong. My father always said, “Be considerate of others.” It’s a lost cause. I heard a cell phone ring in church one day. I heard a cell phone ring in an art museum one day. If you don’t consider either of those a big deal, please move on to another column. I would leave the country and take the dog with me, throughout July — if I had the money. Then I wouldn’t know or care what anyone around here might do. Oh, I’d read about it, just like I do every year. Someone always gets killed or maimed. SEE SMITH, P13

he scene is a local coffee shop. It’s mid-afternoon and there are no customers in the shop. The three baristas are standing behind the counter looking at their telephone, texting or checking out social media. The store is spotless, the inventory re-stocked, bathrooms are clean, display cases arranged perfectly. The manager returns from running to the bank and sees the employees on their phones, heads down. How does the manager respond? The scene is the same, mid-afternoon and there are still no customers in the shop. The three baristas are still behind the WINNING counter preoccupied WORDS with their phones, but the store is in disarray, the floors need to be swept, the bathrooms are filthy, and the display cases are more than half empty. The manager returns from the bank and sees what’s going on, now Michael Norton how does the manager respond? We know that in the first scenario the manager was probably very good at setting expectations and communicating policy around use of cell phones at work. And the staff knew the rules. There were probably consequences outlined for people who were on their phones when there was work that still needed to be done. The staff felt good about the fact that they could use their phones when the store was quiet, and when all the work was 100 percent completed. Conversely, in the second scenario, which seems to happen more and more and frustrate managers and owners with increasing frequency, we would probably find that there was a “My way or the highway” management style, a lack of clearly articulated goals and expectations, and no enforced or reinforced

Of course, there are risks everywhere. I was at Altamont, hoping to hear the Jefferson Airplane. Or, as I said later, “I went to a riot and a concert broke out.” I don’t celebrate the Fourth of July. At least not with a pack of matches. I’m not sure what’s wrong with hamburgers and hot dogs and a vivid discussion about the moisture they found on Mars. I can hear the crickets, and your one word: “Boring.” Fireworks bore me. They are tedious and repetitious. They haven’t changed since I was a kid, and offer me no amusement. I’m not certain which is worse: Fourth of July fireworks or Christmas music in November. I can avoid one (to an extent) but not the other. When the Criblecoblis family down the street sets off a rocket, the harsh noise it makes is as much mine as it is theirs. And they don’t care.

consequences when it comes to keeping a clean shop filled with proper inventory and welldisplayed products. There is probably high turnover here as well, with employees and owners and managers becoming equally frustrated with one another. And this is not just happening in local coffee shops or retail environments, this is happening all over corporate America as well. So, we have to ask ourselves, which battle is it that we are choosing to fight? Is it the fact that we see our staff or team members with their heads down on their cell phone that bothers us? Or should we be asking if their work is 100 percent complete and have they already done more than they were asked to do? Again, if clear office policies
and procedures are communicated and enforced, these should be a non-issue. If consequences for being distracted during work and not meeting deadlines are carried out, these also become non-issues. And this is not only happening at the new employee or younger employee level. We are seeing more and more senior leaders and managers on their phones as well. It’s the way we are communicating in our world. Many of the CEOs and executives that I personally interact with prefer communicating via text. It’s faster and more efficient. The point is this, let’s not get so hung up on the person looking at their phones. Instead, let’s focus on their productivity, their contributions to the team or project, their attitude, and their overall performance. The battle we choose to fight should be based on these criteria, and not because someone has their head down. They could be texting a customer,
researching a problem, watching a quick work-related video, or keeping up with current events. And yes, they might be texting or on social media too, and as long as it’s not distracting others or impacting their performance, it shouldn’t be the battle we have to fight. So how about you? Does watching someone on their phone just get you all twisted up? Have you clarified your own policies around the use of phones and technology at work or at home? Either way, and as always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can set proper expectations and choose the right battlefields, it really will be a better than good week.

ndependence Day offers a wealth of options for those looking to see the night sky lit up with color and sound. One of the biggest celebrations has been held at Denver’s Civic Center Park for the last eight years, and this year’s is shaping up to be bigger than ever. On July 3, the free event features Chris Daniels and the Kings along
with the 101st Army Band of the Colorado National Guard. There will also be vendors, games and more. Produced by nonprofit Civic Center Conservancy with many partners, the evening ends with the longest rooftop fireworks finale in the concert’s history. The Denver City and County Building adds to the entertainment with a synchronized light show. “A National Historic Landmark, Denver’s Civic Center Park is the perfect place for a patriotic celebration that connects us as a community to both the past and present,” said Amanda Johnson, marketing coordinator with the Conservancy. “Having 100,000 people gathered together to take in the music, lights & fireworks in
such an urban setting is truly unique, and it’s an awe-inspiring experience.” Some of the biggest firework shows are also the longest running. Take Bandimere Speedway’s annual Fourth of July event, which has been around since its first “Family Festival” 20 years ago. “After three years the Family Festival was combined with another existing event, the `Jet Car Nationals,’” said John “Sporty” Bandimere III, general manager of the speedway. “Combining the two events brought together the best from both events making July 4 one of the largest attended races on our schedule.” SEE FIREWORKS, P16

ariety is the name of the game in the Lakewood Cultural Center’s newly announced LCC Presents 2018-2019 season. “We’re just a 320-seat theater, so every performance here is very intimate,” said Karyn Bocko, marketing and promotions supervisor with the city. “When you see a show here, you’re really going to feel like you’re connecting with the performer.” Beginning in September, the season will bring a range of performances, including music, dance and theater. It starts out on a Friday and Saturday, Sept. 28 and 29, with The Flying Karamazov Brothers, who bring juggling feats, laugh-out-loud comedy and wild theatrics to the stage.

October ends with Nobuntu, a five-member female a cappella ensemble that performs a fusion of Zimbabweanrooted music, Afro jazz, gospel and crossover music on Saturday, Oct. 27. There’s also the opportunity for audiences Clarke Reader to learn hands-on about the form with an African dance workshop led by two members of Nobuntu that afternoon. From there, Aquila Theatre presents “Frankenstein” on a Thursday and Friday, Nov. 8 and 9, then Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas on Saturday, Nov. 17, and the year ends with the return of Timothy P. and The Rocky Mountain Stocking Stuffers on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2.

‘Apple Store for sleep’ comes to Park Meadows Amerisleep’s shift from online to brick-and-mortar shows change in retail strategies BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A mattress store referred to as the “Apple Store for sleep” is coming to Park Meadows on June 23, and with it will come another example of the way retailers are changing the way they do business. Amerisleep, an online mattress retailer, will open a store in the mall as one of a string of the company’s first brick-and-mortar shops in its 12-year history. The store originally launched to compete with other mattress companies in what cofounder Joey Holt called a broken industry. “Most people looked at mattress salesmen as used car salesmen,” Holt said. “We felt there was a poor quality … logistics were a nightmare. For most companies, their motives weren’t the same as their customer’s.” Each Amerisleep store offers Dream Suites in their stores, which allows customers to nap for as long as they want on any of their five mattress types. The Dream Suites have plasma screen TVs to help cus-
Amerisleep, a new mattress retailer referred to as the “Apple Store for sleep,” is coming to Park Meadows mall June 23. The store provides Dream Suites, which allow customers to nap on a mattress for as long as they want. COURTESY PHOTO tomers fall asleep and plays educational videos about the importance of sleep. “We saw the opportunity to improve and add value to someone’s life,” Holt said. Amerisleep’s non-commissioned
“sleep ambassadors” work to educate customers on sleep rather than pushing price tags. The company initially started in physical stores, but quickly moved to online-only to eliminate much of the costs. Now they’re going back to brick-and-
mortar. So far, it’s worked. Amerisleep’s model takes many of the same lessons learned from the success of Warby Parker, the glasses retailer that thrived in a nearmonopolistic market by offering convenience to the customer. The founders of Warby Parker, Neil Blumenthal, Dave Gilboa, Andy Hunt and Jeff Raider, used a survey-based price point as an index for the price of all of its glasses, no single style more expensive than another. Amerisleep uses a similar tactic. Their family of five mattresses vary only in how they benefit different types of sleepers. “Depending on how good you can afford depends on how good of a mattress you get,” Holt said about the traditional mattress industry. “We offer choices to customers, but make sure we educate them on why.” Amerisleep’s move to a physical location is just one example of the growing number of entrepreneurs finding initial solace online without much of the overhead. Amerisleep asks customers to complete an extensive survey to point customers to the right type of mattress without much of a need for testing one out. Amerisleep began by sending mattresses through the mail for a trial of 100 days. SEE SLEEP, P19

Centennial Airport administration building to have community focus ‘The Hangar’ is planned to be gathering place, event venue BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Centennial Airport plans to construct a new administration building that will double as a community center for tenants and students, and as a place for events. The facility is expected to be complete in early 2020 and will sit in the northwest corner of the airport’s main parking lot on South Peoria Street, according to a news release by the airport. The new building will feature a work environment designed to promote creativity and collaboration, the
release said, and will include some retail space, an outdoor community plaza and meeting space for up to 200 people. “This new facility is an investment not only in the airport, but in our tenants, employees and the surrounding communities,” said Michael Fronapfel, director of planning for the airport, in the release. “For aviation students, it’s an investment in the next generation of aviators.” “The Hangar,” which will feature approximately 20,000 square feet of space, will be funded by the airport rather than local tax dollars, the release said. The airport’s director, Robert Olislagers, announced the new building May 25 at a 50th anniversary event for the airport that was headlined by SEE AIRPORT, P19

Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger at the Denver Marriott Tech Center. It will feature events like open houses with flight schools, Olislagers said. Centennial Airport is a general-aviation airport, which means it features flight training and medical evacuation, corporate charter, small cargo and recreational flights, among other uses — but commercialairline flights, like those on United or Southwest airlines, for example, are not part of the mix. It opened May 12, 1968, as Arapahoe County Airport and is owned and operated by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority, a governmental body. It is not located in the city of Centennial, which was formed long after the airport in 2001 — the airport changed its name to “Centennial” in 1984. The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial. It sits mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County, and it’s one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the country.
The Dream Suites in its newer locations — three in Arizona, its headquarters, and one in Austin, Texas — fill that void its online model lacked. But the suites, according to Holt, are meant more to teach customers rather than sell to them. The move from online to brick-and-mortar speaks to the general shift in the retail business itself. Retail is one of the largest business sectors in Lone Tree, and Park Meadows, the largest mall in Colorado, is one of the city’s biggest draws
for new businesses. With the influx of those businesses, old ones will need to adapt. “The tenant mix is shifting,” said Jeff Howell, director of economic development for the City of Lone Tree. “Though retail is changing so much, (Park Meadows is) able to attract the new and upcoming tenants that are now entering or shifting the market.” Another one of those retailers coming to Park Meadows is Amazon Books, the previously online-only bookstore that pushed several traditional brick-and-mortar bookstores like Barnes and Noble to the brink of bankruptcy. But according to Howell,
the emergence of online-first retailers has challenged other businesses to adapt newer methods in order to compete. Barnes and Noble, for example, now offers community events and wine tastings to attract customers. For brick-and-mortar stores, selling the shopping experience has become a means to sell a product. To Amerisleep, that means educating its customers rather than selling to them. And that goes for all retailers. “We have a heavy retail presence in Lone Tree,” Howell said, “and all of them are having to think about what the future means to them.”

Here comes the clown when a cowboy is down Winklepleck is handy with a barrel during tense times in rodeo arena BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
When a cowboy needs to be saved, when children need encouragement to read or when a crowd needs a laugh, only one man can deliver in the unique way that J.W. Winklepleck does. Winklepleck earned his last name at birth, not from rodeo clowning as some have assumed. J.W. doesn’t stand for John Wayne, like he wished it did, but for James Wayne — his parents wanted to put J.W. on the birth certificate to balance out the long last name, but the state of Colorado wouldn’t allow it. Rodeo clown Winklepleck, a father of three and husband to Elizabeth Stampede’s A/V tech, got his start at his family’s ranch. When he wasn’t tending to the bucking bulls and horses, he would assist in the arena and competed professionally. His father rode and competed as a rodeo cowboy, and Winklepleck hopped onto a bareback “bronc” just like his dad. One day, during a lull in the action, Winklepleck’s dad told him to go out there and entertain the crown since he acted like a clown all of his life
Barrel man and rodeo clown J.W. Winklepleck plays the funny man with his jokes but he was ready with his barrel to provide a safe haven for bull riders during the June 1, 2 and 3 Elizabeth Stampede. TOM MUNDS anyway. He traces pieces of his current costume back to his first day. For Halloween earlier that year, Winklepleck had dressed as The Riddler, a villain from the Batman comics, and still had the flashy costume. He painted question marks on his face,
The Care You Need. The Life You Want.
and still wears them proudly. The baggies he now wears are oversized Wrangler jeans cutoffs, held up with suspenders, and underneath are wild patterned tights. But with all of the silliness and jokes, Winklepleck is a hardened cowboy, risking his life in the arena each
time he goes out. He calls his barrel (padded inside and out) that sits in the middle of the arena “an island of safety” for him, other bullfighters and cowboys to either dive into or jump behind. “It can get pretty exciting in my barrel. There’s been some bulls that have taken me from one end of the arena to the other,” Winklepleck said. “It’s a dangerous sport, but it’s an adrenaline-rush type of deal. That’s part of why you like doing it.” The 42-year-old clown, who lives just north of Strasburg, said the Elizabeth Stampede is one of his favorite rodeos because it’s the most fun, but also because he once spotted a woman hanging advertising banners for her insurance company. “Back then she was like, `I have nothing to do with dating rodeo cowboys.’ And I said, `Well maybe you haven’t met the right one,’” Winklepleck remembers of meeting the woman he was bound to marry. He performs at about 40 to 50 rodeos each year, and even though his wife, Brenda, works sound and music at rodeos, their schedules often send them in two different directions. Their daughters are grown, and their son, whom Winklepleck calls his sidekick in the arena, just graduated from college and applied to the Colorado State Patrol Training Academy. SEE CLOWN, P32

Mountain Vista athlete is double honoree in baseball Sam Ireland gets nod as both pitcher and player of year
Mountain Vista junior Sam Ireland is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher and Player of the Year PAUL DISALVO slugging percentage. When he toed the rubber, Ireland was the state leader with two nohitters this season while compiling a 2.72 earned run average with 77 strikeouts in 72 innings pitched.
He and teammate Jack Liffrig tied for the league and state lead with 11 victories. Ireland has announced he is committed to attend and play baseball at the University of Minnesota.

Hali Sibilia said that while she also plays field hockey, girls lacrosse is her favorite sport. The senior was one of the top lacrosse players in the state and a team leader for the Cherry Creek Bruins, who finished second in state for the third time in the past three years. “I really like lacrosse,” the Bruins senior said in an interview near the end of the season. “I like the speed of the sport and I love our team.

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
One of the debates in baseball that has been around for a long time questions whether pitching or hitting is more vital for successful baseball teams. Good pitching is important, especially late in the season and during the playoffs. It is often said that decent hitting wins games but good pitching wins championships. Solid hitting is exciting, gives teams a chance for comeback victories, and wins are impossible unless a team scores runs. So this season, picking the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher and Player of the Year was easy, since Mountain Vista junior Sam Ireland was selected as the winner of both awards. Ireland, who also played third base, was outstanding as a hitter and reliable on the mound in helping the Golden Eagles win the Class 5A state championship. “Hitter, pitcher, he’s both,” said Vista coach Ron Quintana. “He is one of the best players in the state. He did it at the plate for us, he did it on the mound for us.” Ireland had a .400 batting average. He led the Continental League and was second in the state among 5A hitters with 11 homers. He was first in the league and state with 43 runs batted in and had a respectable .900

im Flanigan has a new job at Mountain Vista. He is now a maintenance man. No, not that kind of maintenance man. Flanigan, the tennis coach for the past 13 years at Vista, is the school’s new athletic director. He replaces Shawn Terry, who moved closer to home to become the AD at Rocky Mountain in Fort Collins. Flanigan taught his final social studies class last month and will take the reins of an established athletic program that already has won plenty of championship hardware to display. OVERTIME “Mountain Vista isn’t broken, we need to maintain,” said Flanigan, who plans to coach next season and transition out of coaching and hire a new coach. “Success has been here. The main Jim Benton reason is the coaching staff. Most of the coaches have been here 10-plus years. “I’m not going to do any overhauling, just maybe a little tweaking. I would like to upgrade the facilities a little bit. We have a lot of the original stuff from 18 years ago.” So Flanigan will have to polish up on his fundraising abilities, but one glance at the refurbished Vista tennis courts hints that Flanigan is the man for the job that he’s had his eye on for many, many years since he started teaching. Belarus bound Madison Hema, a 6-foot-2 senior-tobe at Castle View, has made the New Zealand U17 women’s basketball team that will be playing in Belarus. Hema has dual United States and New Zealand citizenship since her dad, Matt, the head girls coach at Castle View, was born and raised New Zealand before moving to the United States. Last season Hema averaged 8.6 points and 7.8 rebounds with 3.6 blocked shots a game for Castle View. She will be one of the trailblazers for New Zealand, which will be playing for the first time in a global FIBAage group event. Student athletes After each sports season the Les Schwab Academic Award winners for boys and girls athletic teams are announced.

When they’re not at the rodeo, Winklepeck manages his residential construction company, and Brenda runs an insurance agency. Their family has owned Lucky Strike Lanes, an eight-lane bowling alley, for nearly 30 years. They also own a cattle ranch. Winklepleck finds inspiration for his acts by drumming up old memories of rodeo clown greats and by putting a creative spin on pop culture, like having a horse pull him on a snowboard or the curling routine he started doing after watching the winter Olympics. Most of his attention, when he’s not being chased down by a bull, goes to the kids in the audience. “I guess you could say it’s a PG version of late-night comedy,” he said. For kids with special needs, he helps put on a rodeo with stick horses and a pretend rope prior to the real event, and he also rallies area kids to read in a program that gives free

Elizabeth Stampede tickets to those who reach their goal. He remembers during one rodeo a young girl riding a sheep during a mutton bustin’ event. She bonked heads with her woolly steed and looked up with a bloody nose. Winklepleck untied the bandanna he wore on his “baggies” and told her to keep it. “She made it a point to come back the next day with a brand new bandanna and signed it, and this is coming from the cutest little girl you’d ever seen,” Winklepleck said. And he continued to wear the bandanna proudly tied where the last one had been. Winklepleck has worked alongside pickup man Dwain Gilbert in the arena for close to 20 years, calling him, “A cowboy with a capital C.” “He’s good with the crowd and he’s a really good person.
