Dozens of local officials, Westminster networkers and residents of Covenant Village of Colorado converged on the sunny first
day of June as Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law the Don’t Tax Grandma’s Meatloaf bill. House Bill 16-1187 aims to help Colorado retirement communities control costs for residents by maintaining the sales tax exemption for meals served to residents of retirement communities. It was sponsored by Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, and Sen. Chris Bill continues on Page 6
The Jefferson County Board of Education approved a raise of at least 2 percent for all teachers and staff as part of the $1 billion 2016-17 budget ratified at the June 2 meeting. “What we did with the budget does reflect the priorities that we told the community we would implement when we were running,” said board President Ron Mitchell, referring to increasing compensation for all staff and hiring more mental health workers. But “I am saddened by the fact there are so many things that I dreamed we would do and hoped we would do, but we couldn’t do due to the funding restrictions placed on this budget.” The approval comes after months of board discussions, community surveys and union negotiations. Along with the compensation increase, the board approved hiring full-time mental health employees, expanding clinic aide hours, increasing paraprofessional support and contract review administrator to work in the HR department on employee contracts. “This is the very first time I’ve seen a budget come together so quickly,” Superintendent Dan McMinimee said. “It is because of all of the pieces of the system Board continues on Page 5

By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com Donating money to untested ideas in their infancy is a big ask for many philanthropic organizations with limited funds. Not long ago Noah Atencio, vice president of community impact at Community First Foundation, and Cheryl Haggstrom, executive vice president of Community
First, were discussing this very problem. “Usually, organizations like us give our money to
evidence-based ideas, but we wanted to make an impact on ideas that aren’t proven — yet,” Atencio said. “We
also wanted to have more community engagement opportunities, and that led to an idea.” Community First, an organization that helps connect nonprofits and donors, is hosting a large-scale pitch event to benefit the Innovators Society. The society is dedicated to improving mental wellness options for Coloradoans by investing in new mental health care ideas. The event will be Sept. 30, at the Lakewood Cultural Center, and will put $500,000 in grant money in the hands of local leaders to donate to the organization they see fit. Donor continues on Page 6

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
ASHLEY SEASTONE Hope House GED program coordinator
About me I have always loved school and now, as an educator, I can express that love to others. I’m a Colorado native and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My sister and I were born and raised in Centennial, and now we are all still pretty close. My parents still live in Centennial, and my sister and her husband live in downtown Denver near me. Growing up I was pretty active and loved to play soccer, dance and run track and field. I was into all the sports in high school, and after graduation, it was no surprise what I decided to study — biomedical science and health and exercise. I obtained my bachelor’s degree along with
a master’s in public health from Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Finding my path While studying for my master’s I learned I had a passion in the education field, and a strong desire to help people overcome health disparities. I took a deeper look at the system and learned a lot of health aid doesn’t end up where it’s meant to go, and so when it came time to find a job a few things were a must for me. I wanted a job at a faith-based, transparent organization that has visible benefits for its clients. Hope House of Colorado was the perfect fit. In 2014, following graduation, I came across a GED coordinator job with Hope House while networking with Lisa Steven, Hope House’s executive director. Over coffee, we talked about my goals and aspirations for my career and she said, “You know, I might have a job for you.” A few weeks later I became the Hope House’s GED program coordinator and it’s been amazing. What I do Every day I work to organize tutors, GED practice tests, grocery shop, transport, counsel and lift up our girls. Our average participant in the program is a ninth-grader, and it’s hard. Getting your
GED isn’t a quick fix to not receiving your diploma — it takes months of hard work. We like to have our students work one-onone with tutors in three-hour class sessions eight times a week. This really helps them learn the material, ask questions in a safe environment and build relationships with tutors. Our goal is to not only help them graduate, but to help them realize their potential and abilities to go beyond that degree and seek their dreams. And this year, we’ve had 17 girls graduate and we anticipate we’ll have more than 20 graduate by the end of this year. In my free time Outside of work, I like to tutor through the Whiz Kids Tutoring. Once a week I play with elementary and middle school students and help them with reading and math assignments. When not tutoring or helping teen mothers obtain their degrees, I like to be outside. I love all the things Colorado has to offer — hiking, fishing and camping. I also love to travel and am looking forward to an Alaska trip this June. For me, life is education, and I hope to continue to pursue that lifelong passion, which is learning.

“Yes, But How Do I Find the Best Listing Agent?” Now that you know what a listing agent can and should do for you, you’ll probably want to interview more than one agent, but before you set an appointment, I suggest you check out each candidate online. Don’t just Google their name — at www.REcolorado.com (the Denver MLS) search for the agent under the “Find Agent” tab. There you’ll not only be able to see the agent’s active and under contract listings, but also their sold listings going back a couple years. Click on “Map View” and see where they do most of their business. Is it in your area? (When searching, remember that a “Dave” might be under “David” or a “Chuck” might be under “Charles,” etc.) The best predictor of how an agent will market your listing is how they are marketing
their current listings and how they marketed their sold listings. You can click on the address of each listing to assess whether that agent enters a little or a lot of detail and the quality of their pictures and video, if any. Look for whether the agent provides the measurements and a description of each room in the house. If an agent enters that info, he or she is doing much more than is required, which is a good sign. If there is any one quality which clients want to see in their agent, it is accessibility and responsiveness. Does the agent let most calls go into voicemail? Does the greeting say that calls received after 5 pm will be returned the next business day? Maybe that agent isn’t for you. Lastly, trust your “gut feeling” about any agent. If you have any kind of negative feeling, trust it — and interview another agent.
what tasks are you paying your listing agent to perform? The mandatory services required by the Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC) are spelled out in Section 5 of the listing agreement. They include presenting in a timely manner all offers, accounting for earnest money received, keeping you fully informed throughout any transaction, disclosing any material facts about the buyer known by the listing agent, and advising you to obtain expert advice on matters beyond the agent’s expertise, such as legal and tax matters. Those are “uniform duties” of your listing agent, even when he or she functions as a “transaction broker,” which a listing agent must do when he has a client relationship with the buyer. If he does not have a client relationship with the buyer, then your agent has an obligation to promote your interests with “utmost good faith, loyalty and fidelity” and to share with you anything regarding the buyer which gives you a negotiating advantage, such as how desperate
the buyer is to find a home, etc. Nothing else is required by the CREC, but here are tasks which you should reasonably expect a full-service listing agent to perform: Assess the market and help you price your home to get the highest price for it Put your home on the MLS and other online resources to maximize its exposure Shoot quality photos and video as part of a comprehensive marketing plan Help you prepare (“stage”) your home to show its best Advise you of likely inspection issues and recommend trusted vendors to fix them Install lockbox and engage showing service to manage showings and provide feedback Evaluate and negotiate competing offers Negotiate inspection demands Negotiate when home appraises for less than contract purchase price Guide you through the closing process

Friday fun on the farm By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com On a recent Friday evening, neighbors gathered to support local businesses, jam to live music and engage with one another in a communal meeting place called Star Acre Farms. “We wanted to bring the community together and we did some brainstorming and we came up with First Friday on the Farm,” said Becky Sharfenberg, the farm’s owner. “All we want to do is have people come out, and enjoy themselves on the farm.” And 100 people showed up June 3 to play with alpacas and dance to the sounds of Michael Furry and Friends, climb an Arvada Fire Protection District fire truck and purchase homegrown vegetables. “We didn’t know this existed, but it’s awesome,” said Loren Faye, a Denver resident and mother of two children playing with alpacas and clambering on the fire truck. “I love the idea of a community event, love the idea of a farm-to-table community farm and I love supporting the locals — we love our locals.” “Mom, I saw a computer in the fire truck!” shouted Faye’s son, Cooper Dressel, as he climbed down from the fire truck’s front seat. “You did? How cool.” The fire truck, she said, was a great addition to the event. Star Acre Farms is a small farm at 81st Avenue and Alkire Street adjacent Rose Roots Community Garden. The farm is part of a Community Supported Agriculture network. Friends, family and community members support the farm, harvesting vegetables, taking care of the chickens and managing the farmstand. The First Friday on the Farm event will take place the first Friday of every month through October.

And, in its second year, the event is growing in popularity, Scharfenberg said. “It’s great.” On this Friday, families enjoyed the tastes of homegrown vegetables and grass-fed meats in the form of tacos. Sitting on the front lawn, the crowd listened to a variety of performers sing original and popular music. Near the farmstand, businesses, community members, residents and a few Denver-metro nonprofits lined up booths to sell goods from handmade jewelry, alpaca fur blankets, scent burners and more. Several kids zoomed over to the alpaca booth,

where three young alpacas grazed in their cage. “It’s a llama-graffe,” said a young girl to her friends as they pet the animals. Laughing, she added, “It makes a weird sound, like ‘mmmmhrrhm.’ ” For Scharfenberg, seeing her neighbors come out to support not only the farm, but also the businesses and artists, meant she had accomplished her goal of creating community. Those in attendance, like Faye, couldn’t agree more. “It is,” she said, “all about community.”

Jeffco schools approve new employee contracts By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Collaboration was key in this year’s negotiating season between the Jefferson County School District and the unions representing teachers and educational support professionals, such as paraeducators and bus drivers, leaders of the bargaining teams said. On June 2, that collaboration was evident when the Jeffco school board unanimously approved contracts with the unions, giving each union compensation and benefit increases and agreeing to a five-year contract with teachers and a three-year pact with the support professionals. “I am thankful that we had quality teams that wanted to work together to solve problems,” said Jeffco Superintendent Dan McMinimee. “With both negotiating agreements we had teams who came together to solve problems, looking forward to how can we come together to make the district the best that it can be.” The past two negotiation sessions between the teachers’ union and district officials were contentious, marked by mediation sessions and the threat of a strike. But this negotiating season, the district and the unions said they wanted to work in good faith and collaborate. It took the educational support professionals a few weeks and the teachers’ union about three months to reach agreement. “We are happy to be able to work with a board of education that wants to collaborate with educators and parents and do what is best for all students in Jeffco,” said John Ford, teacher and president of the Jefferson County Education Association, which represents 2,800 of the district’s 4,700 teachers. Both unions bargained strongly for
JCEA CONTRACT KEY POINTS • The contract introduces a grid-salary system that gives raises based on educational degree, years of service and evaluation rating. • All educators will be transitioned to a salary schedule and receive a 2.7 percent raise and one-time 2 percent stipend. • Highly effective, effective and probationary teachers who receive a partially effective rating will receive a step increase to match placement on the grid. Any teacher with an ineffective rating, or a non-probationary teacher with partially effective or ineffective ratings, will not receive a raise. • Educators with a highly effective or effective evaluation rating who did not receive a step increase will receive a onetime stipend in October. • Elementary instrumental music was retained at all elementary schools • Contract length is five years, starting July 1 and running until Aug. 31, 2021. • The district will increase retirement contributions by 0.5 percent. more compensation, something all parties agree is still not where it needs to be, based on research and a study performed by the district’s human resources team. This study showed Jeffco schools is not offering competitive contracts for educators and classified workers when compared to several neighboring districts, such as Boulder Valley, Cherry Creek, Littleton, Northglenn and Westminster.
For example, a newly-hired educator with a bachelor’s degree and seven years of experience would make $2,000 to $6,000 less than the above districts. For the past two years, the district has been operating under a pay-for-performance compensation model designed by former board president Ken Witt. It raised the district’s starting salary to $38,000 and gave educators raises based off their evaluation rating each year. For the 2016-2017 school year, all educators will be transitioned to a grid-salary schedule and receive a 2.7 percent raise and one-time 2 percent stipend. Movement in the schedule is based on years of service, educational degree and effectiveness rating. Before 2014, the grid did not include the evaluation rating. “As we begin to clean up the mess left behind by the board majority, we will continue to keep students at the center of everything we do,” Ford said. “We have developed a vision for the schools our students deserve and our focus will be on making that vision a reality in our community.” The board majority of Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk were elected in 2013 on a conservative-focused agenda. They were successfully recalled last November after two years of policy changes and contentious initiatives, such as the pay-for-performance plan. Under their tenure, state and district statistics showed an increase in teacher turnover. Educational support professionals — which also include lunchroom staff, secretaries, maintenance workers and mailroom crew members — will receive raises based on level of experience and where they’re at in their careers. All will receive a 0.5 increase this fall. Jeffco Schools classified staff who received a step increase also will receive a 1.5 percent increase as a
JESPA CONTRACT KEY POINTS • Three new task forcees will address benefits, compensation andworkplace injuries. • Workers employed by Jeffco schools with a satisfactory evaluation will receive a step increase and a one-time stipend of 1.5 percent in October. • Entire JESPA salary schedule will receive an increase of 0.5 percent. • Employees classified as contractors will receive a one-time 3.5 percent stipend in October. • The district will increase retirement contributions by 0.5 percent. stipend in October. Contractors and those who did not receive a step increase will receive a 3.5 percent stipend in October. “The business of school is a team effort and it’s time to be making up for lost ground,” said Lara Center, a paraprofessional and negotiating team member for the Jefferson County Educational Support Professional Association. “And JESPA feels with the settlement reached at the negotiating table this season we’re headed in the right direction.” Board Member Susan Harmon agreed. “You are amazing humans and you really do touch all of the students and families every day,” she said to educational support professionals. “We did the best we could do with what was there and we all have heard the sacrifices you made and how much you love your jobs. And we wish we could do more than just show you with our words.”
School board explores options for paying for facilities After listening to community feedback, final decision expected by June 16 By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Jefferson County Board of Education is expected to decide June 16 whether or not to ask voters this fall to help pay for projects included in the proposed $420 million facilities master plan. “We haven’t decided what to do, but we will make a decision,” board President Ron Mitchell said. Over the next week, the district will

review feedback from 16 community meetings and compile options for the board to consider at its June 14 meeting. At that meeting, the board will decide whether to put forth a bond or mill levy, or seek other funding options for projects in the plan, this November. That decision will be finalized at the board’s June 16 special meeting. The changes proposed in the 2016 Jeffco facilities master plan affect each of the district’s 154 schools. They include closing seven schools, consolidating 10 elementary schools into five new buildings, moving 44 sixth grades into middle schools and modifying boundary lines to address overcrowding issues.
In early May, the school board asked district staff to explain the plan to the community. “Our facilities people are taking that feedback and folding that into the Facilities Master Plan,” said Superintendent Dan McMinimee, who helped facilitate the community meetings with his executive staff. “We’ve definitely made a big attempt to reach out to the community and receive feedback on this plan.” To review the plan, visit www.jeffcopublicschools.org/business/facil_ plan_design_const/master_plan/index. html. To read an earlier story, go to www. arvadapress.com/stories/Districts-planwould-consolidate-close-schools,212825?
Moving forward, the board said it would like to see more dollars given to compensation, security and emergency management, technology and to schools for Student Based Budgeting (SBB), a budgeting model adopted by the board majority to give each school more flex-
ibility on how to best use funding. “Doing a budget is probably one of the most important things an elected body does and it’s supposed to reflect the priorities we’d like to achieve,” board member Brad Rupert said. “I feel pretty good that it actually does reflect the val-

Holbert (R-Parker) and supported by LeadingAge Colorado, an organization that represents senior living and care providers. The bill addressed a Colorado Department of Revenue-proposed change to a long-time understanding of the law that meals served to residents in retirement communities are exempt from sales and use tax. “We said, `No, that’s not right. This is their home and you don’t get charged sales tax for food you eat at your home,’ ” KraftTharp said before the bill signing. “So, we did the bill. It had a lot of support in the legislature and, obviously, the governor supports it because he’s coming out here to Westminster to sign it.” The law creates several tax exemptions that address the sale, storage, use or consumption of food, food products, snacks, beverages and meals in retirement communities. Retirement communities include independent living, assisted living residences and nursing facilities. The exemption does not apply to meals served to guests or employees. “We are honored to have hosted the ceremonial bill signing,” said Kent Mulkey, executive director of Covenant Village of Colorado. “The ability to provide living options and care for our seniors is a priority for all of us.”

Hickenlooper praised Kraft-Tharp and other legislators who he said found — and fixed — problems. “The longer I’m around this job the more I appreciate how hard legislators work. You guys are lucky to have in Rep. Kraft-Tharp one of the very best, one of the
real leaders on our legislature,” Hickenlooper said. “I think (this bill) is a basic right and very good legislators find places where there’s inequality … and then they figure out how to fix it.” Alice Douthit, speaking to Kraft-Tharp before the bill-signing began, said she was
pleased with legislators’ efforts in passing the law. “I came here from a community in Florence … where we have (many) senior citizens,” she said. “They’re going to be glad to hear this bill has been signed. Good news.”
tal wellness, but their ideas had not yet been tried. Each received an initial grant of $25,000 and had nine months to develop ideas. On Sept. 30, they will share those ideas in the hopes of receiving more money for development. “There will be around 250 audience members with around $1,800 to donate as they hear the pitches from these organizations,” Atencio said. “This is a pretty unprecedented approach to awarding money, and we’re excited about it.”
About 40 community leaders also will select one business to receive a grand prize of $50,000. The organization decided to focus on mental wellness because of the lack of treatment options and to eliminate some of the stigma, Atencio said. To help the organizations practice for their big pitch, Community First held a “scrimmage” on May 17. “Participating in this event seemed like a great opportunity,” said Jared Wigdor, with Bright by Three. “We only
have five minutes to make our pitch, so I’ve been working to communicate the important things the audience won’t hear elsewhere.” The organizations still have three months to refine their approach, and while the event is new to almost all participants, it provides a chance to hear directly from the community. “We come out of this process with real practice and feedback,” Widgor said. “Just getting that kind of feedback makes this a valuable experience.”

5 things to know about rattlesnakes
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Summer is in full swing, which means most Coloradans are spending more time outdoors. Whether it’s a hike through Chatfield State Park, a bike ride along the High Line Canal, or a barbecue out back, wildlife encounters are inevitable. And snakes enjoy the warm sunshine as much as humans do. Laura Lacerte, a Highlands Ranch Metro District park ranger, teaches Nature EdVentures classes on the habitat, environment and benefits of snakes. Although most are harmless, the rattle snake is venomous and should be left alone. Below are five things to know about snakes this season. They tend to avoid human contact. Most of Colorado’s snakes are innocuous, including backyard dwellers like the common garter snake and bullsnake. But the prairie rattlesnake — characterized by green-and-brown coloring, key-hole shaped pupils, a triangular-shaped head and a rattle at the end of the tail — is venomous. The reptile tends to avoid humans and humans should return the favor. “If you see a rattlesnake, give it plenty of space,” said Lacerte. “Do not try to move it.” They can be found in almost all of Colorado’s ecosystems. During winter months, rattle snakes hibernate in outdoor dens, including rodent holes and rock piles. Rattlesnakes are active from spring to fall. Most sightings happen on summer mornings and evenings between temperatures of 50 to 80 degrees, Lacerte said. They spend most of their time basking in the sun on pavements or trails. Be aware of surroundings, especially on hiking trails. Know what wildlife inhabits the trail, stay on the trail and watch wildlife “respectfully from a distance,” said Lacerte.
There are state laws on the treatment of snakes. In Colorado, rattlesnakes may be legally killed if they pose a threat, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. All other snakes are classified as non-game wildlife, which includes more than 750 species that cannot be hunted, fished or trapped. Native cutthroat trout, bats, boreal toads, lynx, and blackfooted ferrets are non-game species. They are all protected by state law.
Warning signs. Rattle snakes will sound their tails as a warning sign. If an onlooker gets too close, they may elevate into an “S” shape. “A snake in this position is highly agitated and should absolutely not be approached,” according to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife report. Baby rattlesnakes are more dangerous because they do not know how to use their rattler and will strike first if disturbed. Adult snakes will bite as a last resort. If bitten, the victim should seek immediate medical treatment and try to remain as calm and still as possible, Lacerte said. Victims should not cover the wound with any type of bandage or suck the venom. Although rattlesnake bites are painful, they usually aren’t fatal for healthy adults, Colorado Parks and Wildlife says.
Eliminate potential dens. Simple adjustments to a property can prevent snake encounters. Homeowners should keep firewood covered in a box to eliminate dwelling spaces, says Colorado Parks and Wildlife. They should also avoid rows of large rocks in open, sunny areas, and trim vegetation where snakes could potentially hide. Rodents are a major food source for snakes. Homeowners should reduce the rodent population indoors and outdoors, and seal all entrances to crawl spaces and basements.

A journey into the future that never was Colorado Railroad Museum to have inaugural steampunk event By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gizmos and gadgets and steam-powered mega-machines. The Colorado Railroad Museum is
inviting people to take a voyage to the fantastical world of steampunk at its first Steampunk at the Station on June 18. “It seemed like a natural fit,” said Carolyn Bartels, event manager of the railroad museum in Golden. “Nothing is more symbolic (of ) this fantastic phenomenon than the roaring of our big, beautiful locomotives.” Steampunk is the subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic

designs inspired by 19th century industrial steam-powered machinery, Bartels said. It is thought to honor Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor who lived from 1856-1943. Influences on steampunk include 19th century science-fiction authors such as Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” and “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” and H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” and “War of the Worlds.” “Imaginary airships, mad scientists, adventure and corsets — all compiled into one theme,” said Danielle Ghear, the railroad museum’s resident steampunk expert and steampunk event expediter. “What’s not to love?” The concept took off in the 1960s and 1970s with the cyberpunk culture when technology was emerging, Bartels said, and was coined steampunk as a variant of cyberpunk in the 1980s. Then there’re a variety of categories — Western steampunk, dieselpunk, clockworkpunk and Victorian steampunk, to name a few. “Because steampunk is a worldencompassing theme set in an alternate universe, the possibilities are endless,” Ghear said. “It allows creativity to thrive and whole story lines to emerge from one panoptic hinge — steam-powered.” The idea for the Steampunk at the Station event came about in January. The museum intends to make it an annual event. “Steampunk should bring out the fun and creative nature of this romantic and Steam continues on Page 16

Blame presidential politics on Marvel Comics I’ve been watching this year’s election cycle in much the same manner I watch a car wreck: slightly detached, hoping everybody will be OK, but preparing to triage the survivors. And, like a car wreck, with 100 percent certainty that there’s going to be a lot of lawyers in our future. Really, I’ve tried to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing, a little perspective. I mean, the country has survived a sitting vice president killing a man in a duel. It has survived a Civil War; the collapse of a political party known as the Whigs, which gave way to another party led by an obscure historical figure named Abraham Lincoln. It survived God knows how many alcoholics in the White House, not the least of which was Ulysses S. Grant, and it survived a number of catastrophic events in the 20th century. I believe it will survive a Trump-Hillary general election. But, that said, it still baffles me how we arrived at this juncture, as a nation. With 300 million people, you’d think we could find a couple people whose defining characteristic wasn’t self interest. And then, it hit me! It’s all because of Marvel Comics and movies. Ask most women who the most interesting, most attractive member of the cast of the recent Marvel Studio movies is and I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts the top answer is split between any one of the main stars, and Loki, the God of Mischief, the bad guy,
played with relish by Tom Hiddleston. See, Loki makes being the overlooked, underappreciated, smartest-kid-in-theroom-just-trying-toget-Daddy’s-attention seem like the most fun in the world. Er, Asgard. Er, universe. Plus, thanks to the Michael Alcorn casting choice, there’s HITTING the whole extremelyattractive-with-aHOME British-accent thing working for him. In other words, Loki makes egotistical, self-interested, slightly insane and extremely dangerous COOL. Which explains how Trump got here. But what about Hillary? She’s not a superhero, or a god, or a billionaire philanthropist genius playboy. So how did she get this close to the presidency? There’s this: she’s powerful, she’s Machiavellian, her behindthe-scenes maneuvers gave her an insurmountable advantage before the first real vote was ever cast, her presence has been looming over American politics for 16 years now, and she has resources to spare (some, obtained in ethically questionable ways)… She’s Thanos! Don’t know who Thanos is? Understandable. I had to ask my son a couple times
even what the guy’s name is for the purposes of this column. I just remember a gigantic, menacing, puppet master lurking in the shadows of three of the Marvel movies, pulling strings and waiting to claim dominion over the galaxy. And, yes, his schemes went awry once (though I don’t believe it had anything to do with a philandering husband), and we certainly haven’t seen the full extent of his role. He will come to the forefront very soon. Politics always follows culture. The more interesting our villains become, the easier it is for the culture to overlook peoples’ flaws, however significant, and consider their merits, however insane that may be. So, if you, like me, lament the condition of our body politic, I say blame Stan Lee and the Marvel Universe. It’s certainly easier, and a lot more fun, than blaming ourselves. Side note regarding last week’s column: Now we all know why I don’t make a living running the sports book out of Las Vegas. Turns out a team playing with great joy is sufficient to overcome the will of one great player (especially if that player, inexplicably, doesn’t touch the ball in the last four minutes). But, you should learn this: Whenever I make a prediction, put money on the other team. Not that I encourage gambling… Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His novels are available at MichaelJAlcorn.com.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
With so many celebrity deaths recently, which one mattered most to you? What is Sustainable Printing? It’s the paper: Biodegradable, renewable, recycled, reusable. It’s the ink: Soy based inks are used, reused then recycled. It’s the plate: Process-free plates eliminate VOC’s and reduce water usage.
I think the main thing that they’re all so closely related. The whole drug, over-medicating thing, it’s kind of weird. I suppose the weirdest thing is that it’s like nobody knew, like with Michael Jackson and now Prince. — Carrie Maniscalco, Denver
For me it would be Prince, because I graduated from high school in 1984, so his music was a big part of my high school years. It’s sad that he overdosed on fentanyl. — Anita Alexander, Columbus, Ga.
I’d say (Prince), just because of the music. Ali’s death was a shame, but I really never kept up with boxing. And it wasn’t such a shock. — Mark Alexander, Columbus, Ga.
It’s the press: Using cold-set presses reduces the amount of VOC’s put into the air. It’s the location: Printed locally reducing shipping and postage costs, while saving gas, emissions and time.

On listening to my own advice Before Memorial Day, several of my colleagues shared their plans for the long weekend. One was off to the Canyonlands of Utah, another to North Dakota for fishing, and yet another was headed to the Great Sand Dunes National Monument in my old stomping grounds of the San Luis Valley. To this co-worker I warned, with an air of superior knowledge, “Take insect repellent – it’s tick season in the Sangre de Cristos.” It was good advice. I know from school field trips, Girl Scout outings, and afterprom evenings that ticks are plentiful in southern Colorado in late May. Besides being just creepy, they can carry disease. Plus, once they dig in, they are really hard to remove. So avoiding them in the first place is the best plan. I also spent the holiday out of town, crawling around the mountains near Steamboat Springs, because I played two 18-hole rounds of extreme disc golf. I am
not a good thrower and although most of my own shots went uncontrollably off into the scrub brush, we all were ducking under branches, scrambling over rocks, and pushing overhanging foliage out of the way. Andrea Doray You may have ALCHEMY guessed already where this is going. The ticks are also plentiful in the northern Rocky Mountains this time of year. Before we even got back to our cars, one of my friends found a tick on his sleeve. My own words came back to me: “Take insect repellent – it’s tick season!” To be fair, I had no idea we would be
playing disc golf at all, much less in the wild – and wildly remote – underbrush of Routt National Forest. I did have the good sense to change from sandals to tennis shoes, and to grab a visor and sunscreen. Yet it never entered my mind to pick up some bug spray, even though I had been all too eager to advise others to do the same. So, maybe you can guess what happened next. The following morning, I spotted a tick crawling down my shirt … a different shirt. I was seriously weirded out (to use specific language). I’m pretty nonchalant about possible disease, but the fact that this thing had somehow been hanging around overnight was quite unsettling. Why hadn’t I taken my own advice? The reason I’m telling you all this is because it’s a good reminder for me — actually, for anyone who thinks we know what’s best … for someone else. I often
find myself pushing into other people’s conversations to share my opinions, even when unsolicited. I have felt pretty sure, recently, that I know the best place to vacation in Mexico, the best route to take downtown, and even what’s best to order in a restaurant because it’s what I like. From the reactions I’ve received, though, some of the recipients of my proclamations might have been bemused, or even annoyed. My opinions may be all well and good … for me. But for other people, maybe not so much. And, clearly, I didn’t consider the advice I gave out to be good enough for me. Lessons learned? Provide advice only when asked, and be sure it’s advice I would follow myself. Andrea Doray is a writer who still believes that warning people about tick season is a good thing.

More understanding of Alzheimer’s ‘greatly needed’ Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month a chance to highlight ‘truths’ Staff report While it’s fairly common knowledge that Alzheimer’s disease robs people of their ability to remember, many other truths about the disease remain unknown, experts say. For instance, many people are unaware that Alzheimer’s is a fatal disease, its symptoms extend further than memory loss and early diagnosis matters. “Greater understanding is urgently needed given the dramatic impact of the disease,” said Linda Mitchell, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado. “Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. In Colorado alone, we are projecting a 37 percent jump in the number of people with Alzheimer’s by 2025, reaching 92,000.” To improve the public’s understanding of the disease and to underscore the need for swift action, the Alzheimer’s Association is highlighting essential truths aimed at curbing common misconceptions about Alzheimer’s. These truths include: Alzheimer’s disease is fatal There are no survivors. From 2000 to 2013, the number of Alzheimer’s deaths increased 71 percent, while deaths from other major diseases decreased. More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, including 67,000 in Colorado. Alzheimer’s disease is not normal aging Alzheimer’s is a fatal and progressive disease that attacks the brain, killing nerve cells and tissue, affecting an individual’s ability to remember, think and plan. Brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s may begin 20 or more years before symptoms appear. Although age is the greatest known risk factor, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. Alzheimer’s is more than memory loss Many believe the disease only manifests itself through memory loss, when it may appear through a variety of signs and symptoms. However, since Alzheimer’s affects people in different ways, each person will experience symptoms and progress through the stages of Alzheimer’s differently. Experts from the Alzheimer’s Association have developed 10 key warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease that everyone should learn to recognize in themselves and others.
Alzheimer’s risks are higher among women, African-Americans and Hispanics African-Americans are about twice as likely as whites to have Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Hispanics are about 1 1/2 times as likely. Additionally, more than two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women. Early detection matters More than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s disease, but only about half have been diagnosed. Additionally, 45 percent of seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or their caregivers are aware of the diagnosis. Diagnosis is often delayed due to low public awareness of the early signs and general misperceptions about Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Alzheimer’s cannot be prevented, but adopting healthy habits can reduce your risk of cognitive decline and contribute to brain health Staying mentally active, engaging in regular physical activity and eating a healthy diet benefits your body and your brain. There is also some evidence people may benefit from staying socially engaged with friends, family and the community. Alzheimer’s is the most expensive disease in the country It remains one of the most critical public health issues in America, costing taxpayers $18.3 million each hour. The total national cost of caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is estimated at $236 billion a year, of which $160 billion is the cost to Medicare and Medicaid alone. As the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s grows, the total annual payments for health care, long-term care and hospice care for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias are projected to increase to more than $1 trillion in 2050. Caregiving can become anyone’s reality The enormity of the Alzheimer’s crisis is felt not only by the more than 5 million people in the U.S. living with the disease today, but also by their more than 15 million caregivers, friends and family. According to the 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, it is estimated that 250,000 children and young adults between ages 8 and 18 provide help to someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. In addition, 23 percent of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia caregivers are “sandwich generation” caregivers — meaning that they care not only for an aging parent, but also for underage children. The Alzheimer’s Association works with caregivers to enhance care and support for all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The central office

here’s just something about being on a motorcycle. Riders like the open road, the freedom and the independence. “No matter what,” said Jonathon Buschbacher of Golden, “whenever I’m on my bike, it’s a good day.” Riding a motorcycle is not a new hobby — the bikes have been around since the mid-1800s. Sylvester Howard Roper, an American, invented a two-cylinder, steam-powered velocipede in 1867. The first gas-engined motorcycle was invented by a German man, Gottlieb Daimler, in 1885. And the Harley-Davidson Motor Company was launched in 1903 by William Harley and brothers Arthur and Walter Davidson. For many people, owning a motorcycle is a passion, interest and stress reliever, said Luke Porter, 22, who works at Sun Enterprises in Thornton, one of Colorado’s largest motorcycle dealerships. Riding gives a lot of people freedom, he said. “You don’t have to focus on anything besides the action.”
Porter has been in the industry for about five years and went to school for motorcycle technology. His dad, Dave Porter, is manager of Old World Bikes, a vintage
motorcycle parts, service, restoration and sales shop in Golden that specializes in Triumph, BSA and Norton motorcycles. Luke Porter started off riding
bikes in his teens and developed an interest in repair through his dad. “It just kind of took off from there,” he said. ‘Buy, fix, ride and show’ People are catching on that it’s a “really fun hobby,” said Toni Buford of Golden, who owns three Harley-Davidsons. Motorcycles have grown in popularity among women and the younger generations, she said, and the “old-timers” are still riding. “Usually, if it’s something you love, you’re never going to give it up,” Buford, 50, said. Rohn Hyde, 67, of Lakewood taught himself how to ride a motorcycle when he was 11 years old. “I was a paperboy,” he said, “and I had to have motorized conveyance because I got tired of pedaling.” And it’s something he has stuck with. Hyde has owned probably 40 motorcycles through the years, he said, and currently owns 14 favorites. They’re primarily Triumphs — he has never owned a HarleyDavidson — and he has a particular fondness for Unit Triumphs between 1963 and 1970. He will often take his bikes to shows so other people can learn about the vintage bikes. “It’s a chance to share,” Hyde Cycle continues on Page 13

Don’t forget the music for summer fun
Clarke Reader
LINER NOTES
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 transporting experience. To help give your summer the best 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

said. “It’s not every day you see a vintage motorcycle on the city streets.” Hyde has been “tinkering” with motorcycles since the late 1970s. For the past seven years, he has been involved with Old World Bikes. “The whole experience has been something I’ve gravitated to,” Hyde said. “Buy, fix, ride and show. That, in a nutshell, is what I like to do.” A family affair for many Buschbacher, 36, agrees that one of the biggest joys of owning a motorcycle is being able to work on it. He bought the bike he currently owns, a 1991 Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster, in 2013. Buschbacher bought it wrecked, and it took him about six months to complete the fix-up. Buschbacher prefers Harley-Davidsons because he likes the look of them and the ride they give. Plus, he added that his older half-brother and his dad always liked Harley-Davidsons. “I grew up on the back of his,” Buschbacher said of his dad’s bike. He started riding on his own as a teenager. “It’s kind of a family thing.” Similarly, Buford’s dad got her and her sisters into riding motorcycles. “He loved the fact that all his girls were riding,” Buford said. “A family that rides together, stays together.” Buford’s dad, Bob Buford, died of cancer in mid-April of 2006. He was “quite a legend in the biker community,” she said. “Everyone knew him and loved him. We lost the best one in the pack that day.” Bob Buford’s bike, named Old No.7, a 1994 Heritage Softail Harley-Davidson, was also well-known. On her wedding day on May 6, 2006, Buford rode Old
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 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
No.7 from the church to the wedding reception. “It was a rough day,” she said, “but I felt like he was with me when (I) made that ride.” One ride that Lakewood resident Zak Wagner, 25, does every year is the “Love Thy Chopper.” It takes place mid-July, he said, and is a charity ride that benefits Wilderness On Wheels, a volunteer-run nonprofit that provides access to nature for people with disabilities. “It’s a cool organization,” Wagner said. A lifestyle about people and fun Wagner has owned his motorcycle — a 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster — for six years. He has met a lot of people through owning a bike — many of whom he probably wouldn’t have if he didn’t ride, he said. “The people who come along with it is my favorite part,” Wagner said. Michele Veith also enjoys the people. “It’s kind of like an underground family,” she said. Veith, 38, has been riding for about 20 years. She owns one motorcycle — a 1971 Yamaha CS3 — and four scooters. Veith has been part of an all-girl scooter club based in Denver called Mods ‘n Knockers for about 10 years. “We work on our own bikes and hang out together,” she said. “We had been good friends for a long time, then just gave ourselves a name.” Although based in Denver, one of the group’s default rides — which the girls do a lot, Veith said — is to Coors Brewery for a tour or the Buffalo Rose in Golden. She also attends scooter and motorcycle rallies. Veith usually rides one of her scooters for short trips, but also has a lot of fun riding her motorcycle. “It’s not just a mode of transportation,” she said. “It’s a lifestyle.”
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”
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 be otherwise, every summer night can’t be full of action and activity. Sometimes you’re just stuck at home, trying to stay cool and pass the time. The Boss understands this better than most, and before he decided to escape the city on “Born to Run,” he made “The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle.” The album brims with stories about people

stuck in one place, and wrings the romance out of every backyard observation. It turns every house into a story. 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 music, and it’ll run through you as well. 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. “Remember saying things like ‘we’ll sleep when we’re dead’/And thinking this feeling was never gonna end,” asks singer Brian King in the song “Younger Us.” Feelings like this are the ones we chase all summer long — and catch all too briefly. But there’s always next summer. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week.

Cool off this summer with watercolor exhibition Arvada displays almost 200 pieces from watercolor societies
IF YOU GO WHAT: Summer of Watercolor exhibition
By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The best escape from the summer heat is water, and the Arvada Center is overflowing with talent during its diverse watercolor exhibition. The Summer of Watercolor is on display at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Aug. 28. The show is comprised of the 41st Annual Western Federation of Watercolor Societies Exhibition, in the Main Gallery, and the 25th Annual Colorado Watercolor Society State Exhibition, in the Upper and Theatre Galleries. The Summer of Watercolor exhibit has been in the works for about five years, according to exhibition coordinator Kristin Bueb, and features more than 195 paintings in its three galleries. The one rule is that all pieces must be watercolor or watermedia on paper. “It’s very prestigious for these artists to be on display here at the center,” said Gene Youngmann, project manager with the Western Federation. “There is so much variety in our works — everything from stills and landscapes to florals and abstracts.” The Western Federation Exhibition features the works of artists from the 12 Federation societies, including the Arizona Watercolor Association, Texas Watercolor Society and Watercolor Society of Oregon. There were 1,065 paintings entered by

EVENTS AND EXHIBITION DISCUSSIONS The Arvada Center hosts the Summer of Watercolor through Aug. 28. The show brings together the work of the 41st Annual Western Federation of Watercolor Societies Exhibition and the 25th Annual Colorado Watercolor Society State Exhibition. Courtesy image 517 artists, according to Youngmann. Juror Sterling Edwards selected 134 paintings for the exhibit. “A lot of our artists enter the running for this show, but we have around 16 for whom this is their first exhibit,” Youngmann said. “A regional show like this
is a benchmark for young artists as they move up in the art world.” The 25th Annual Colorado Watercolor Society State Exhibition features about 65 paintings from some of the state’s best watercolor artists. Gale Webb was the juror for this exhibition.
“We only do three or four shows a year, and this exhibit was open to any Colorado artist,” said Gary Nichols, co-chair of the Watercolor Society. “Any time you’re in a juried show, it’s a feather in the artist’s cap. And to be selected by jurors like this, it’s certainly validation.”
Exhibition tour and discussion: Juror Sterling Edwards will lead a tour and discussion. 2 - 3 p.m., Friday, June 10 Exhibition Discussions: Two exhibition discussions with artists featured in the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies and Annual Colorado Watercolor Society State exhibitions will be held at 11 a.m. on June 25 and 6:30 p.m. Aug. 4.

Take a spin: Bike to Work Day June 22
By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Bike to Work Day has grown by leaps and bounds over the past several years, and organizers are expecting an even bigger turnout this year. The free annual event falls on Wednesday, June 22, and will feature stations all over the metro area, contests and environmentally friendly fun. “I love that for at least one day, the streets are more for people than for cars,” wrote Rachel Hultin, an officer with the Wheat Ridge Active Transportation Advisory Team, in an email interview. “The dynamic is different on Bike to Work Day. You can see the camaraderie as people on bikes congregate at stoplights and pass one another on the street.” According to information provided by Katy Burley, communications coordinator with the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Denver’s Bike to Work
Day is the second-largest in the country, right behind San Francisco. Last year, 248 stations and events celebrated riders who collectively biked 603,613 miles. There were more than 32,000 participants last year, 37 percent of whom were firsttimers. “I did my first Bike to Work Day in 2009,” said Blake Feik, executive vice president of North Valley Bank in Thornton. “I was training for Ride the Rockies at the time, and thought it was a cool idea to bike to work and save gas. I started doing it regularly and setting goals for myself.” Throughout the day, businesses, organizations and local governments will be hosting stations to provide breakfast, rehydration and even parties. “We, of course, are encouraging all residents and businesses to participate as well as our employees,” wrote Stacie Oulton, Lakewood public information officer, in an email interview. “At the end of the day, Lakewood employees are also invited

to join the public event of a group ride to the Westfax Brewery in Lamar Station Plaza for after-work food and a drink. “ Westminster’s Butterfly Pavilion has hosted breakfast stations since 2012. Amy Yarger, horticulture director has witnessed firsthand the benefits of cycling. “The riders are so upbeat and appreciative,” Yarger wrote in an email interview. “Everyone who participates in Bike to Work Day makes the planet healthier for humans and, also, for important wildlife like pollinators.” There are always challenges when cycling, including motorists and lack of paths.

nership between the Denver Regional Council of Governments and a dedicated group of transportation management associations, has resources to help riders plan their routes. “My biggest challenge as a rider is the 40 blocks I have to ride along Pecos Street,” said John Orr, an employee with the City of Thornton. “I like participating in Bike to Work Day and joining the party.” The community, physical and emotional benefits of cycling are all among the reasons riders return year after year. “When communities prioritize and support safe, connected options to walk and ride a bike, they are investing in the whole health of the community,” Hultin wrote. “Physical, mental, economic, environmental health are all tied to active transportation, and people feel more connected to the people and the places where they live, work and play.

historic time period,” she said. “From palm-sized mechanical toys to steam-driven machines as large as automobiles, gadgets are one of the creative aspects of the fans of steampunk.” People are encouraged to bring a gadget or wear steampunk attire to the event. In fact, that is one of the best aspects of steampunk, Ghear said. “Whether your style is the explorer, the tinkerer or neo-Victorian aesthete, steampunk attire encompasses all ages, professions and cultures into an imaginary voyage into the future that never was,” Ghear said. Steampunk fashion generally includes goggles, gears, elaborate hats and corsets, she added. Music for steampunk is all over the map, Bartels said, but for the Steampunk at the Station concert, live music will be performed by Colorado Springs band Hydrogen Skyline.
The band’s roots are in steampunk, husband and wife musicians Norman and Asher Hittle said. But nowadays, they are more commonly known for indie-pop/progressive rock styles. “We really love the steampunk communities and playing for them,” Asher Hittle said. The performance will be a “return to something we really love.” Hydrogen Skyline’s concert will be a two-hour set of a variety of their music.They will perform all the songs on their album, “PHOTOVOLTAIC,” which will be released later this summer. The musicians are excited to play Steampunk at the Station, especially because of the railyard location. “It’s incredibly unique,” Norman Hittle said. “We don’t have the opportunity to play a place like that very often.” And, of course, daytime admission includes a ride on the museum’s Locomotive No. 491 — the largest operating steam locomotive in the Western hemisphere — which will be 88 years old on June 15. Steampunk at the Station will “play into the creative nature of people,” Bartels said. “Anything goes. It’s a chance to have fun.”
TROUBLE HEARING? HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? DIABETES?
IF YOU GO The Colorado Railroad Museum, 17155 W. 44th Ave. in Golden, is hosting two events on June 18 for its inaugural Steampunk at the Station. Entry to the events is sold separately. The daytime event takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will feature arts and crafts and a ride on Locomotive No. 491. There will be one food vendor, and people are welcome to bring picnic lunches. Cost is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, $5 for children and children under 2 are free, as are museum members. Anybody arriving in steampunk attire or with a gadget will receive 50 percent off the admission fee. Although weapons are sometimes part of steampunk costumes, no weapons of any kind — real or facsimile — are permitted. Entry tickets may be purchased online, however, the costume discount cannot be applied to online sales. If coming in costume, it is
recommended to purchase entry at the door. The evening concert takes place from 6:30-9 p.m. and will feature a beer garden, food trucks and a performance by Hydrogen Skyline. Because the events are separate, the museum will close for a half hour between the daytime and evening events, but will reopen the gates at 5:30 p.m. for the concert. The concert is a 21-and-over event. Tickets cost $20 each, and although people are encouraged to dress in steampunk attire, no costume discount is offered for the concert. Tickets can be purchased at the door, but it is recommended to purchase tickets online in advance, as the event is limited to 300 ticketholders.

Global Pandemics Concern over the recent spread of the mosquito-borne Zika virus has alarmed health officials throughout the world. While Zika itself is rarely a serious illness, the World Health Organization is studying whether the virus is causing an increase in serious birth defects and a rare neurological disease. The outbreak is focused in Central and South America, raising additional concerns about the upcoming summer Olympics in Brazil. Join Active Minds from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Thursday, June 16, as we seek to understand the current threats by examining both the science of how diseases spread as well as the history of pandemics.

Valor coach says goodbye after title
Jim Benton
OVERTIME
For the first time in their school’s history, and the first time in 22 years in the Jefferson County School District, the Pomona High School Boys Track and Field team won the Colorado State Track and Field Championship. The 13 boys on the varsity squad maintained a minimum 3.7 GPA and most participated in several sports alongside track and field. The Panther athletes were recognized for their achievement at the June 2 Jeffco Board of Education meeting. Photo by Crystal Anderson

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 Jamie Heiner in the same statement. “He 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 director 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.
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, ball-control 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’d 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

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.
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 US at a deficit of only one goal. This was Pugh’s sixth assist this season. Photo by Conner Davis

Water World opening for 37th season New attractions keep longtime tourist favorite years ahead of its time Staff report The community-owned Hyland Hills Water World opened for the 37th season of summer fun over Memorial Day weekend. Named as one of the Best Water Parks in America by the Travel Channel, Water World offers 50 attractions on a conveniently located 70-acre site in the North Metro region. Guests can soak up some rays, be lazy on the river or speed down
Aaron Gillett and daughter, Madason, 11, of Federal Heights, enjoy some opening day thrills May 28 at Water World. Guests were enthusiastic even if crowds were a little small due to temperatures in the low 70s. But the season is long and the park, now in its 38th year, expects the normal tens of thousands of visitors over the summer season. Photos by Stefan Brodsky
one of the many world-class water slide attractions. This year, the park is introducing two new attractions appealing to both the novice and more thrill-seeking swimmers. Cowabunga Beach and Turtle Bay will be put on public display during a grand opening ceremony June 8 and, along with Warp Speed, opened last year, mark the second and third new attractions in the last two years. Opened in 1979, Water World offers more than 12,500 feet of water slides, uses up to 2,500 inner tubes at a time and has for more than 37 years employed 20,000 local workers, including teens and youth.
Swimsuits, smiles and sunny skies were all part of Water World’s official opening day May 28 in Federal Heights.
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 6, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of possibilities begin to open up by midweek. Some seem more appealing than others. But wait for more facts to emerge later on before you consider which to choose. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bravo to the determined Bovine. While others might give up, you continue to search for answers. Expect your Taurean tenacity to begin paying off by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to consider stepping back from the task at hand for a while. This could help you get a better perspective on what you’ve done and what still needs to be done. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your keen Cancerian insight should help you determine whether a new offer is solid or just more fluff ‘n’ stuff. The clues are all there, waiting for you to find them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being ignored is difficult for any proud Leo or Leona. But pushing yourself back into the spotlight might be unwise. Instead, let things work themselves out at their own pace. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Trying to uncover a colleague’s secret under the pretext of showing concern is ill-advised. Control your curiosity in order to avoid raising resentment in the workplace.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Expect to hear good news about a loved one. Also, be prepared for some changes in several family relationships that could develop from this lucky turn of events. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprises are expected to accompany a number of changes that will continue through part of next week. At least one could involve a romantic situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might be upset by some of your critics. But most of your associates continue to have faith in your ability to get the job done, and done well.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace goal that suddenly seems out of reach is no problem for the sure-footed Goat, who moves steadily forward despite any obstacles placed in his or her way. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Uncertainty about who is right and who isn’t might keep you from making a clear-cut decision. Wait until you know more about what you’re being asked to decide. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful to keep your emotions in check when dealing with a demanding personal situation. You need to set an example of strength for others to follow. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an extraordinary ability to rally people to do their best. You would be a treasure as a teacher.

Soccer Continued from Page 19
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. “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 defender Jaelene Hinkle was one of the six who did not play. Here is a look at the three Colorado players.
Mallory Pugh, forward for the United States women’s national soccer team, kicks a warm-up goal in preparation for the US vs. Japan game. The game took place last Thursday in front of a sold out crowd at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. After some back and forth scoring, the game ended in a tie, 2-2. 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 Public Notice direction.
