OLDE TOWN ARVADA SALES TAX BY YEAR
$442,390
About 40 years ago, Olde Town Arvada had a few staple businesses, such as the Army Navy Surplus store and Rheinlander Bakery. But many storefronts in the city’s historic heart stood empty or showcased antiques, attracting few to wander its streets. The metaphorical tumbleweed blew down the road for decades, longtime residents say. But not anymore. “It is so exciting to witness the transformation of Olde Town, both in terms of energy and beauty,” said Maureen Phair, executive director of the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority. “Fifteen years ago, Olde Town was sleepy with just a few restaurants and no outdoor patios — and
plenty of available on-street parking spaces. Fast-forward to today and Olde Town is a destination for great restaurants, pubs and shopping. And it’s so pretty.” Business owners and city leaders credit a handful of factors in the area’s rebirth: a thriving mix of entrepreneurs, an influx of young professionals and families, and a series of infrastructure improvements to attract shoppers and residents. Cementing the ongoing boom, they say, is the construction of a transit hub that will service the commuter rail line that opens this fall and is spurring even more commercial growth, including the city’s first hotel. “There was a reason Olde Town had struggled for so long,” said Brandon Capps, head brewer at New Image Brewing Company, 5622 Yukon St., which opened in 2015. “Now, there are so many people here working to make Olde Town grow and wanting it to be crowded … I’m excited for what people are trying to do here.”

JEFFCO FAIR ALL SORTS OF FUN
Jeffco schools open doors to new year Supt. Dan McMinimee says district excited and looking forward to ‘positive start’ By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
From new playgrounds and schools to a new way to help creditdeficient students graduate, Jefferson County Schools have myriad new programs for its 86,000 students as they start the new school year. “There’s always that excitement about the start of the school year,” said Jefferson County School District Superintendent Dan McMinimee. “Who’s my teacher?

Lead may be in your child’s school
Jeffco district working to identify, fix trouble spots Staff report A majority of children returning to Jefferson County schools this week will be heading into buildings that have at least some water outlets testing higher for lead than the federal guidelines for water quality. To date, Jefferson County School District staff has tested 91 of its 155 schools. Tests have come back for 72 of those
schools. Of the 72, more than 2,700 water outlet samples tested below the Environmental Protection Agency’s “action level.” However most schools had at least a couple of high-lead locations, adding up to 233 high samples. The EPA states there is “no known safe level of lead.” It instituted regula-
tions in 1986 and more in 1991 that helped end the use of high-lead plumbing materials in all buildings. Diana Wilson, Jeffco’s chief communication officer, says the district intends to have all of the 115 district schools that were built before 1990 thoroughly tested by Aug. 18 — the first day of school for students. But not all test results will be back by then. Also, newer schools will still need to be tested,
though the odds of lead contamination there are much lower. Initial testing is costing the district $75,000. There is no estimate yet for what the cost to replace necessary plumbing might be. Local schools that have tested completely below 15 ppb for lead include Belmar, Devinny, Glennon, Hutchinson and Patterson Cottages elementaries in Lakewood; as well as Sheridan Green Elementary in Westminster. Here are three things to know for Jeffco families:

Becoming Saint Nick Arvada program trains on all aspects of the Santa tradition
By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com The list isn’t for naughty or nice. This one is for the jolly old elf reading it: How do you whiten your beard? How do you stay healthy through the yuletide season? How do you answer tough questions from the little ones on your lap? The answers were readily available at Santa University’s recent training session for more than 70 men who traveled from around the country to learn the ins and outs of the role. “When you see Santa at the mall, there
is so much more to them than just that,” said Judy Noerr, founder of the training that her company, Noerr Programs, hosts each year in Arvada. “Every aspect — from the look, what Santa says, how Santa acts — it’s so important. This is a tradition.” Santa University, in its ninth year, took place July 29 to Aug. 1 at the Arvada Fire Protection District’s training facility on Indiana Street. Training focuses on the history of the Santa experience and every aspect of the man that makes up the magic of Kris Kringle. Sessions include learning sign language, how to work with special needs children, understanding how NORAD tracks Santa on Christmas Eve and how to stay physically fit throughout the season.

Golden Fine Arts Festival Has Contributed to Golden’s Increased Home Values
Over my 14 years of selling real estate in Denver and Jefferson County I have observed a definite migratory arc extending from Denver’s Washington Park and REAL ESTATE Cherry Creek to HighTODAY lands, Berkeley, Applewood and ultimately Golden. Some people travel that arc slowly, moving first to northwest Denver, but others jump straight from Wash Park to Golden. I’m sure there are other migratory patterns one could identify, but By JIM SMITH, since my home and ® Realtor base of operations is in Golden, I have observed this pattern over any other. I suspect other agents have, too. I first heard the expression “popping the top” (referring to adding a second floor to a bungalow) in Cherry Creek and Wash Park, but we’re seeing it more and more in Golden now. Back in Cherry Creek and Wash Park, that process has been replaced with scraping and building townhomes. In addition, Golden has joined other cities in passing an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance, which allows a single-family home to have a separate living unit, such as above a garage, that can be rented out. I know of many Golden homeowners who have already taken advantage of that opportunity. The Cherry Creek Arts Festival has, I believe, played a role in making that part of Denver a cultural center, attracting home buyers and in-
creasing home values. Now I see the Golden Fine Arts Festival, which has its 26th edition this coming weekend, as doing the same for Golden. If you appreciate the fine arts — my personal favorite is sculpture — you probably are already planning to come to Golden this Saturday and/or Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It takes place, as in previous years, on that 4block stretch of 11th Street adjoining the Clear Creek History Park. I try never to miss this signature event sponsored by the Golden Chamber of Commerce. Golden’s festival is one of the largest and most prestigious juried art shows in the country, featuring over 130 artists from 20 states in painting, sculpture, mixed media, photography, ceramics, fiber, glass and jewelry. Live bands will be performing each day, and right across Clear Creek is the Golden Farmers Market on Saturday until 1 p.m. There will be numerous food vendors at the festival, and the full range of MillerCoors products, including its microbrews, will be available for washing down that food. More information about the Golden Fine Arts Festival and other chamber events can be found at www.GoldenChamber.org. Golden has a large number of museums and art galleries for such a small town — again within walking distance of Clear Creek. The Clear Creek History Park lies between the festival and the creek. Across the creek via a foot bridge is the Golden History Center, 923 10th Street. Admission is only $3! A block away in the other direction is the Astor House Museum, currently closed for renovation.
Price Reduced on Foothills Home Just West of Golden This 4-bedroom, 3-bath home at 30829 Robinson Hill Road is now only $485,000. Located on a flat lot just 20 minutes from downtown Golden, its many features include a high-end home theater and an oversized 3-car garage (not visible behind that tree). Take the narrated video tour at www.RobinsonHillHome.info, then call me for a private showing!
The Foothills Art Center is nearby on the corner of 15th Street and Washington Avenue, currently presenting a group exhibition of Fine Crafts, featuring outstanding American artists working in clay, fiber, glass, metal, and wood.
The Colorado School of Mines has a free Geology Museum, at 13th & Maple Streets. A favorite for many visitors is the representation of a uranium mine, complete with driller and crystal pocket. At 1213 Washington Avenue is the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, which presents 10 quilt exhibits a year, each with a unique and different style, history and theme. It’s dedicated to the preservation of quilts, and the continuation of the art of both traditional and contemporary quilt-making. Admission is $6, with discounts for seniors, children and students. At 710 10th Street is the American Mountaineering Center, which is home to the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum. It honors the achievements of mountaineers from America and around the world. Exhibits on climate, science, cultures and the humanities as they relate to mountains make your experience rich, exciting, and interactive. Admission is $5. Those are just the museums within walking distance of this weekend’s arts festival. Two miles east on 10th Street is the Colorado Railroad Museum at 17155 W. 44th Avenue where
you can “lose track of time.” Its 15-acre site is full of narrow and standard gauge locomotives and cars, plus more than 50,000 rare old photographs, papers and artifacts. The museum itself is a replica of an 1880-style masonry railroad depot. Personally, I’m drawn to the fantastic model railroad exhibit in the basement! Up 19th Street at the top of Lookout Mountain is Buffalo Bill’s Gravesite and Museum, which features exhibits exploring Buffalo Bill’s life and times, including Wild West show outfits and posters, Indian artifacts, and antique firearms. Admission is $5, with discounts for seniors and children. Golden has performing arts, too, including Miners Alley Playhouse, currently featuring a production of “Little Shop of Horrors.” Find more information at www.MinersAlley.com. All these attractions, anchored in a way by the annual Fine Arts Festival, have made Golden a cultural destination. That, in turn, has contributed, I’m sure, to the steady increase in home values in this special town we call home. It helps, of course, that the City of Golden, has an efficient, honest and well-run government. It’s noteworthy not only that home values did not decline during the “great recession” of 2008-2012, but that the city government did not have to cut back on its services. Indeed, it continued to give out small grants to citizens with good ideas or projects for improving their block or their neighborhood. I was impressed! While Golden Real Estate is pleased to provide real estate brokerage services in both Denver and Jefferson County, we are proud to call Golden our home, and look forward to seeing you this coming weekend at our respected arts festival. And if you feel a calling to move here, we’re ready to help your family travel that migratory arc toward Golden!

Having fun with the 4-H program Students shine at 2016 Jeffco Fair & Festival

This year, Bliss entered 13 animals in the 4-H show and won four awards. Photo by Christy Steadman with 4-H. The animals are exciting, Murphy said, but being in 4-H isn’t limited to animals. 4-H offers a wide variety of projects, everything from sewing and baking to robotics and rocketry to gardening and hiking. “I’m amazed at the depth of the volunteers,” Murphy said, “and how much the kids can learn.” Kennady Schneider, 10, of Golden has been in 4-H

for two years, but this is her first year showing. She brought one of her four chickens — a one-and-a-half year old female named Syke. Schneider believes the most important skills she has learned through 4-H is good public speaking, leadership and responsibility. But she just enjoys being with the animals and experiencing all the activities. “It’s just fun in general,” Schneider said.
15 Minutes from Denver
Walking into the event center, one was likely to hear the high-pitched gobble-gobble of a turkey or the low tones of a mooing cow. The odor wasn’t foul, but the smell of livestock filled the air. Cages on tables held rabbits, chickens, turkeys and roosters. Stalls kept pigs, goats, llamas, alpacas, cows and sheep from escaping. It was the local 4-H and Future Farmers of America members’ time to shine at the 2016 Jeffco Fair & Festival. “4-H is a great program,” said Audrey Bliss, 17. “You can do a project with any interest you have. There’s infinite opportunities.” Bliss, who will be a senior next year at Golden High School has been doing 4-H for nine years. This year, she entered 13 animals in the show — three market rabbits, six breeding rabbits, two market lambs and two fiber sheep. And with them, she won four awards — reserve champion senior showman for sheep, grand champion senior showman for rabbit, grand champion market rabbit and grand champion fiber sheep. The Olyowski family of six from Conifer came to the fair because it’s important to support the county they live in. But they came specifically for the 4-H because they love to see the animals — and their favorites are the chickens and the llamas. “It’s exciting to see the kids learn about how to raise an animal, treat an animal and show an animal,” said Robert Murphy of Lakewood. Murphy has three children in 4-H. Evelyn, 12, raises turkeys. Sam, 10, does cake-making. And Ellie, 6, is in the Cloverbuds program where she gets to do all different kinds of one-day projects just to be involved

A new county celebration took place Aug. 11-14 with the reimagined Jeffco Fair & Festival. The event took place at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 W. 6th Ave., Golden. The fair featured a variety of entertainment, vendors, live music and other spectator events. According to organizers, it was a success. “It was a great event,” said Dexter Foxworth, the new events coordinator for the fairgrounds. “I’m looking forward to continuing to work alongside community members on making this event a true Jeffco celebration each year.”

Seniors, youths come ‘Together’ in show Special musical performance raises funds and awareness Staff report The premise of the musical “Together” is that by uniting youths who feel isolated or unappreciated with seniors, who often feel the same, great things can happen. The musical — playing the Lakewood Cultural Center Aug. 19-28 — features a cast with an age range of 9 to 88 to explore that concept. But the idea isn’t just for the stage. The play doubles as a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization, Bessie’s Hope, which actually does bring together disenfranchised youth with nursing home seniors. “There’s that generational power of this, with these kids realizing these old
folks are cool,” said Linda Holloway, cofounder of Bessie’s Hope. Holloway, along with co-founders Sharron Brandrup and Marge Utne, founded the organization after seeing the conditions that the elderly, such as Holloway’s grandmother Bessie, had to endure in nursing homes. Now in its 22nd year, the organization helps find volunteers, trains them in how to have meaningful interactions with elders at all levels of cognitive functioning, and connects them with senior care facilities across the Denver metro area. The original musical “Together” was written by the Bessie’s Hope founders in 1994. It was last staged in 2001. The organization puts on a performance of it every few years to help raise money and awareness for its mission, said Holloway. Musical continues on Page 14

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”
Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer
Denver- Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain? Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake. Sounds crazy? Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life. When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again. Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state? Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy.
And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in theory exercising should help knee arthritis. But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs. Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes. Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out. You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either. What’s the answer? In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary. With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated. The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis. But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid
Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.
directly into your knee joint. This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many experts believe it helps lubricate the joint. Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain. And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with
less or no pain - specific exercises can be a tremendous help. That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain. This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results. So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse - you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse. And that’s the last thing you want to do. What are the two “smart moves?” If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic. If you are thinking about
giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technology such as fluoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections. Research shows that without fluoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work. If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 720-500-1045.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver
After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go. If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now. Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief. Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program. The SecretTo Success? The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy. Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating. This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment. And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed. What Is This Treatment? This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this... When you have knee arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.
This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most
Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”
Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of holistic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors. How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-
swered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief
Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours. If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain? So call 720-500-1045 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community.

impact graduation rates, decrease student dropout rates and further prepare students for college/career readiness. “Students come together on campus once a week to work together on projectbased learning, academic coursework and their required internship class,” Brown said, “which exposes our Targeted Actions to Graduation students to invaluable experiential learning experiences.” In general, virtual academies and blended learning benefits both students and teachers, Brown said. “Students appreciate learning in a blended environment because it allows them the flexibility to do school in an environment that is conducive to their personal needs,” he said. “Teachers find the ability to create individualized programming to meet the needs of all students valuable.”
• Westgate Elementary School is inaugurating its first new playground in about 20 years. “Up-to-date and safe equipment can make recess more engaging for the students,” an excited David Weiss, the principal, said. The playground has three new play structures and swings, and the basketball court has new backboards and hoops. And there also is a new outdoor classroom, where teachers can have class discussions or science lessons. The new playground, two years in the making, was a collaborative effort started by parents Wendi Strom and Amanda Karger. “The community got really exicted,” Weiss said. Parents, the school district, the City of Lakewood and Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) were all involved. Just under $200,000 was raised, including a $114,500 GOCO grant. “I really want the students to see that when many people come together to accomplish something big,” Weiss said, “it can be done.”
• Union hopes for continued collaborative relationship. The district’s teacher’s union is looking forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the school district and Board of Education to ensure every student has the school they deserve, said union president John Ford, a social studies teacher. “Educators are relieved to be returning to a situation where we feel respected as professionals and have a long-term negotiated agreement in place that will allow us to have a strong, collaborative voice in decisions at all levels of the district,” Ford said. “We will continue to focus on providing quality opportunities for all of our students to succeed.” Focus, he said, will be on attracting and retaining high-quality, experienced educators; addressing challenges related to K-12 funding in Colorado; and actualizing visions for schools and students developed in partnership with parents and other community stakeholders.
BY THE NUMBERS 86,000

Ready for the new school year? Ah, the first day of school. The day that kids await with dread, even as their parents prepare celebration dances. Well, except for parents of kindergartners, who burn through reams of Kleenex on this day. This day is the beginning of the answer to all the questions that have been festering for weeks in the minds of students and parents alike. Will I have any friends in my classes? Will the teacher be nice, mean, all business, inspiring or something in the middle? What if I forget my locker combination? And, exactly what is that thing on the wall outside room 240? With that in mind, I have a few questions of my own that I think the schools would do well to address as the school year begins. This election cycle has already reached new depths of ugliness and acrimony, and it still hasn’t gotten into full swing. Given all the disruptions that happened in the last two years, have the schools considered issuing new guidance for the coverage of and discussions regarding this election? In honor of the new Colorado Rockies affiliate in New Mexico, has the district considered giving the new school in Candelas the nickname “The Isotopes”? What? Is there some other reason it should be named that? Given that just about everything that happens in the schools now exists on Google, and given that in the last couple months, two major airlines had service disrupted by computer failures, has the district developed “Plan B” for if and when something hap-
pens to our computer system? There’s a new Harry Potter movie coming out in November. That’s not really a question — I just wanted to point that out. I’m sure the students are aware of it. There’s also a new Star Wars movie. Because it’s good to Michael Alcorn have things to look forward to. HITTING Given the sucHOME cess of “Hamilton” the musical, who are the schools contracting with to turn important historical events into musicals? Not that it’s that easy. But I’d be willing to bet, if you put 100 students in a room with American history books, and 100 students in another room with the soundtrack to “Hamilton,” the second group would come away with better recall of the events in question and a greater interest in learning more. That’s why I’m very optimistic about Doral Academy, with its arts integration curriculum. Has anybody gotten an answer yet to the question of where the new school boundary lines are going to be if the bond/mill passes this fall? Or fails? I know it’s hard to be precise, from the standpoint of the schools, when there are so many variables. But there
is a certain part of the population that will vote “no” if it thinks the schools are dodging the question. Just a couple hypothetical answers would do a lot to assuage that faction. Have the schools given any thought to how they’re going to handle things this year when a young man who “self-identifies” as a young lady decides he wants to compete at a girls’ sport, as happened this past spring in Alaska? For that matter, have the schools given thought to how they’re going to implement the Obama administration’s instruction that the schools must accommodate transgender people using the bathroom — and, assumedly, the locker room — of their choice this year? And what effect is this policy going to have on school trips? Are more schools going to — finally — begin thinking about imitating some of the elements of the programs that landed D’Evelyn and Jefferson Academy on Newsweek’s list of the top 500 schools in the country? And, last but certainly not least, this: There are going to be moments this year when our students achieve greatness, create beauty, discover insight, generate excitement, and genuinely leap towards their futures with the sort of naïve optimism that might change the world someday. Are you ready? Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His novels are available at MichaelJAlcorn.com
Sixth graders move will not improve education In a time when we are recovering from a recession, is it wise and financially savvy to move sixth graders to middle school? The $535 million bond that Jeffco school district will be asking for in November includes moving sixth graders to middle school with a price tag of $100 million. (If you include the interest payments, taxpayers will be paying much more for the move.) That is a lot of taxpayer dollars to add 70 classrooms in middle schools. Worse, the plan leaves 24 elementary schools with less than 300 students, a level at which those schools may have a hard time offering all of the choices that schools with higher student enrollment can offer. We love our small neighborhood schools, but at the same time this board has threatened to close schools with enrollment under 300 students. How can we support a plan which might place 24 elementary schools on the chopping block in the future? Don’t let those in favor of the nearly billion-dollar bond issue fool you into thinking that it is just for fixing and upgrading schools. Less than half of the $535 million price tag is allocated for said school improvements. Letters continues on Page 16

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The sidewalk to nowhere Now that widening McIntyre Street from 44th north to 54th Avenue is completed, it’s time to ask a couple questions. Why would a 6- foot-mile-long sidewalk be built exclusively in front of Coors properties with no practical use to the public while the children of the local elementary have no sidewalk? Walking for children from Fairmount Elementary east to the hundreds of newly built homes is extremely precarious with narrow, steep shoulders on either side of 50th Avenue. Is that the value our county commissioners along with a big, wealthy company have for our children? And why wasn’t the Coors employee entrance lined up with 48th Avenue? Now Coors has a quarter-million-dollar traffic light, likely compliments of taxpayers, less than 100 feet from 48th Avenue where residents have only a stop sign. Pretty clear who our Jeffco commissioners are working for. Isn’t there an election soon? Dan Hayes, Golden

He can’t praise himself enough. He brags about his power. He only bullies people he believes are weak, and he tells others that they should be scared. He unapologetically spews vulgarities on national TV. He calls other people – women, especially – coarse and degrading names. He professes selfdefense for his aggression toward those he perceives have slighted
him. He lies. Recognize this guy? Of course you do … it’s Chad from the recent installment of “The Bachelorette’ and the current season of “Bachelor in Paradise.” (Who did you think it was?) “The Chad,” as he is now known, alienated his housemates – who were also vying for Bachelorette JoJo’s favor – with his overt verbal and physical aggression. In fact, he threatened Jordan, the man JoJo would later
choose, with “When this is all over, do you think I can’t find you?” After hearing from her other suitors that The Chad was deceitful and dangerous, JoJo booted him from “The Bachelorette.” To others, though, The Chad has a certain bad-boy appeal that attracts certain people, so when he resurfaced on “Bachelor in Paradise,” some of the women were interested. Things got ugly fast. One woman, Lace, took a fancy to The Chad and he responded, but not before he and Daniel – one of The Chad’s supporters – had rated and degraded the women they had to choose from. Within hours, Lace, grew weary of The Chad’s boasting, his denigration, and his increased physical and verbal aggression. Although they had been hot and heavy and it seemed to be going well, when Lace decided that she had had enough, The Chad called her vile names, shoved her, and frightened the rest of the cast enough that they intervened. The Chad then turned his abuse on them, and during his tirade, he mocked a young woman for her physical appearance. She is missing much of her left arm. Doray continues on Page 15

A LOOK BACK Olde Town, as a commercial district, sits roughly between Allison Street on the east, 58th Avenue on the north, Wadsworth Boulevard on the east and the rail line on the south. Olde Wadsworth Boulevard runs through the district’s middle. In the heyday years of the 1940s and ‘50s, Olde Town was the hopping place to be. Established in 1870, decades before the city’s incorporation in 1904, the area was the only place to go for groceries, postal services or to socialize. Its popularity continued to grow and business such as Evans Drugs, Shelley’s drugstore, Tillers Flour Mill and Craig Frederic Chevrolet moved in, making it a useful destination for residents young and old. But as the city grew around it in the 1970s, the popularity of the once-bustling area declined. “There was so much growth on the outside of Olde Town Arvada at that time, and there was such a close community around, those areas had shopping areas to go to,” said Anita Marcussen of the Arvada Historical Society. “So there wasn’t any need to have a destination place in Olde Town.” TURNING OLDE TOWN AROUND Worried about the dying core, members of the Arvada City Council, city staff, Olde Town merchants and concerned residents began working on reversing the decline. Over the past 30 years, the city and the urban renewal authority redesigned

streetscapes and building facades, added vertical on-street parking, designated homes and businesses as historic sites, and built Arvada Square for festivals and events. “Olde Town has really gone through an evolutionary process,” said Ryan Stachelski, director of the Arvada Economic Development Association. “It’s been decades in the making.” In 1981, the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority — which uses rising property tax revenue to encourage redevelopment — began a concerted effort to improve the Olde Town area. When the authority began, it established an urban renewal area, including Olde Town proper, as well as many of the larger commercial lots along Wadsworth Boulevard to the south. Starting total property tax revenue for that area totaled about $1.65 million. At the end of the area’s 25-year urban renewal term in 2006, property tax revenue had risen to $6.21 million. Today, Olde Town proper is looking quite timeless, with tree-lined streetscapes in front of brick storefront fascades. Shoppers and diners mill along the sidewalks, checking out the wide varitety of shopping, food and

dining establishments. The newest arrivals include American-style restaurants, such as Steuben’s Arvada and Homegrown Tap and Dough, alongside specialty bars and brew pubs like Kline’s Beer Hall and New Image Brewing Company. The increased entrepreneurialism is drawing a younger population to Olde Town. According to Mary Fedje, owner of Light Rail Art Gallery on Grandview Avenue, and Karen Miller, president of the Historic Olde Town Merchants Association, more young professionals and families are moving in to take advantage of the area’s revitalized feel and attractive small-business marketplace. “We’re seeing more savvy business owners and entrepreneurs moving in with a proven concept and good business plan to make their business successful,” Miller said, adding that it takes the right mix of businesses to make an area thrive. “There’s a community feel now. We’re small, we’re local and we’re authentic.” Coupled with events like the Arvada Farmer’s Market and Harvest Festival — an annual hometown celebration with a parade and street fair — the area offers young professionals a nearby destination in which to dine and play instead of having to travel to downtown Denver. A LOOK AHEAD In the next months, public transit is set to make a major impact on the area. The G Line commuter rail will open this fall. With it, comes the Olde Town

WHAT IS URBAN RENEWAL? Urban renewal authorities are created with the goal of redeveloping neglected areas of a community through the use of tax increment financing — using rising property values to make area improvements, and providing incentives to land owners and developers to make larger project investments, which in turn should further increase property values. Transit Hub, sitting in the midst of Olde Town, which will add more than 600 parking spaces and a festival deck for the city. Across the tracks, the city’s first hotel, a Hilton Gardens Inn, will soon open near the Water Tower villas. And on the other side of the transit hub, the RTD parking lot at 55th Street and Wadsworth will eventually be developed as well — a 9-acre mixed use project estimated to cost $83 million to construct. For Fedje, the art gallery owner, the timing of the area’s rejuvenation and growth couldn’t be more perfect. “It’s like anything else, if you don’t move in the direction that allows you to transition, then there’s nowhere else for you to go but out,” she said. “Olde Town is continuing to move in the direction of change. You have the old and the new and it seems to be working well. Everybody is willing to listen, to change and to grow … And the change is fabulous.”

I’ve changed my whole identity looking like this with the long beard.”

Tyler Johnson of Lone Tree has had a beard since the age of 19. He has been growing his current beard for four years.
Nick Mischel was an elementary school teacher in New Mexico before changing careers and becoming a barber three years ago.
The local beardsman Men put style, masculinity on display with facial hair By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com
A
s an elementary school teacher in New Mexico, Nick Mischel had to keep a certain appearance. “In teaching, you have to be relatively conservative,” Mischel said. “I was able to have a goatee, but not a full-on beard.” Three years ago, he quit teaching and pursued his dream of being a barber — a traditional barber who performs straight-razor shaves and does it while looking the part. “I’ve changed my whole identity looking like this with the long beard,” said Mischel, who works at Freddy’s Barber Shop in Arvada. “If I could barber in the 1800s, I would be right there.”
FUN FACTS
• 55 percent of males worldwide have some kind of facial hair, according to the History Channel.
• The last president to wear a beard in office was Benjamin Harrison, who served from 1889-1893.
• A thick beard can help prevent skin cancer by providing 50 percent to 95 percent protection from harmful ultraviolet rays, according to a study by researchers at the University of Southern Queensland in Australia and published in the journal Radiation Protection Dosimetry.
• The beard of Norway’s Hans N. Langseth measured 17 feet 6 inches at the time of his death in 1927. Langseth holds the Guinness world record for longest beard, which was presented to the Smithsonian Institution in 1967.
Parker Mayor Mike Waid said he’s had facial hair since fifth grade and doesn’t like the way he looks without it. “If you think about it, societally, beards are one of the few masculine accessories that a man has to work with,” Waid said. “It’s fun.” Eric Lough, founder of Denver-

based The Famous Beard Oil Co., said while beards have become more common in recent years, especially in Colorado, they are far from a new trend. “Of course, there is an influx of beard-growing over the past few years, but to me, personally, beards are always around and they’re never
going to go away,” Lough said. “If you look throughout history, in every old picture you see, there is a man with a beard.” Attention grabber Mischel said his beard attracts business as well as attention. “Since I have this look, and I’m interested in having the same look as my clients, it kind of advertises for me,” he said. “Lots of times, I’ll be at the store and someone will ask me about my beard and I’ll tell them I’m a barber.” Tyler Johnson, of Lone Tree, said he’s grown facial hair for the majority of his adult life. He has been working on his current beard for four years. He routinely gets asked about his look. “You don’t normally go and randomly compliment people as they walk down the street, but people Beards continues on Page 13

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com In addition to being mayor of Parker, Mike Waid is founder of Extraordinary Beards, a local company that makes facial hair-care products. He started the company after making his own beard oils at home for himself and friends. “What I found, and it was a little disheartening, is that most products were either based on brand or smell,” Waid said. “There was Viking-brand oil and pirate oil and zombie baseball player. I’m not kidding you.” Waid said his oils are made with allnatural ingredients and are focused on hair health. Beard oils add shine, reduce dryness and moisturize skin and hair, the beardsmen say. A small amount can be brushed into a beard as part of a daily routine.
Eric Lough, who started Denverbased The Famous Beard Oil Co. six years ago, said beard oils are right for anyone with any type of skin. But it’s important to wait until your beard is dry before applying. “You don’t use a lot. You don’t want your beard and face to feel oily,” Lough said. “You use about a dime to a quartersize amount depending on the size of your beard.” Beard oils and other similar products have become more readily available in recent years. Beardsman say they are essential to healthy grooming and help combat the great enemy of facial hair — itch. “We have a guy in the Netherlands who is a professional Santa Claus,” Waid said. “He has a long white beard and he’ll buy 20 bottles at a time because his beard is his profession and he has to keep it healthy.”

The power of story comes through in songs What was the last song you heard that really told a story? Scrolling through the radio these days, the vast majority of songs are about feelings — usually love, or lack of — or songs addressing a particular person. None of this is bad, per se, but some of the most affecting songs bring the listener into a different world and tell a story. Clarke Reader Unfortunately, for those of us LINER who find ourselves NOTES in little turns of phrase or scenes from these oftenlong tracks, story songs appear to be falling by the wayside in a pop climate that prizes inclusivity over nuance and bland sentiments over real storytelling. There’s a transformative magic about the specificity of language and detail in what are now referred to as a story songs, more familiarly known as ballads, an art that traces its history to Medieval times. They foster connection between the musician and the listener, even if

randomly stop and compliment me on my beard as I’m walking,” Johnson said.” I’m used to it now, but when I’m with someone who isn’t used to the attention they’ll say to me, ‘Does this happen all the time?’ And I’m like, ‘pretty much.’ ” Brad Wann, of Highlands Ranch, has worn a beard for more than 20 years and advises if you go down the path of looking different, you should always expect the unexpected. “Just this year, I was in a crowded coliseum, when two women walking by just had to feel my beard,” Wann said. “One actually reached out and touched it without asking. I’ve had total strangers ask to take photos with me.” Lough, a self-described beardsman, said people treat him differently because of his facial hair. “I get called sir a lot,” Lough said. “There’s more respect.”
you’ve never experienced what the song is about. Consider songs like The Shangri-Las’ “The Leader of the Pack,” Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row,” Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue” or Eminem’s “Stan.” These kinds of songs have the power of empathy — allowing the listener to relate to an idea or emotion by avoiding generalities, and going deep. I started thinking about this while listening to Car Seat Headrest’s hilarious and heartbreaking “The Ballad of Costa Concordia” in the car on the way home from work. The 10-minute opus is from his 2016 album “Teens of Denial.” The Costa Concordia was an Italian cruise ship that sunk in 2012, claiming 32 lives. The Car Seat Headrest song doesn’t chronicle events leading to the crash — instead, it focuses on the many mistakes we make in our 20s as we try to figure out our lives. Singer Will Toledo details a litany of his mistakes — to emphasize how he is still learning. Check out the questions: How was I supposed to know how to ride a bike without hurting myself? How was I supposed to know how to make dinner for myself? How was I supposed to know how to hold a job? How was I supposed to remember to grab my backpack after I set it down to
A nice beard takes time: “You don’t want to look dirty. You don’t want to look unkempt and you don’t want to look like you just fell into a beard,” Waid said. “We get our hair cut for a reason. We trim our nails for a reason. You take vitamins and keep healthy for a reason. That should absolutely apply to your beard.”
Selection: Blind Pilot’s “And Then Like Lions,” released on ATO Records.
The result is as warm and invigorating as a blanket on a cool autumn day.
Review: Wistful and lilting, Blind Pilot’s third album is the perfect folk rock soundtrack for the end of summer and beginning of autumn. The group adds some lovely horn lines to its shimmering cascade of guitars and banjos.
Favorite song: “Which Side I’m On”
To feel the full force of song, a listener has to be engaged. play basketball? As the song goes on, Toledo starts identifying with the captain of the Costa Concordia, which is where the power of story kicks in. Toledo projects himself into the mind of someone who messed up royally, not because he was evil, but because he made a crucial error. How the hell was I supposed to steer this ship? It was an expensive mistake! he howls, before the song crashes into waves of
A lifestyle In Colorado, full beards are a common occurrence. “It fits with the lifestyle,” Waid said. “When I’m out in the elements in the winter time, it absolutely makes a difference and keeps your face warmer.” Waid notices an unspoken bond with many of the men with beards he comes across. “Sometimes,” he said, “it’s just a look.” Wann agreed that beards and the outdoor lifestyle go hand in hand. “The more I did mountain-themed events, the more I wanted to look the part,” Wann said. “From being a pack burro racer to reindeer wrangler, it just fit well.” In addition to being a good fit for the climate and character of the state, Lough said Colorado also offers a number of barbershops that know how to maintain and trim your beards because of their popularity. “I really don’t think I’ll shave it off completely,” Lough said. “There were times throughout the years that I trimmed it down pretty short, but I felt bad about it and grew it back.”
BEARD GROWING AND GROOMING TIPS Don’t wash your beard every day: “You still want to be clean,” Mike Waid said. “You can let the water run over it in the shower, but don’t get in there and scrub it with a bar of soap or shampoo or anything like that. It dries the heck out of the skin under your beard and beard hair itself.”

Trim judiciously: “Trimming is a delicate subject because people will get frustrated and go at it,” barber Nick Mischel said. “Really, what they need to do is just take bread crumbs off. If they ever come at you with a full-on clipper, that is probably not the person who should trim your beard.” For a long beard, let sideburns grow: “For people who really want to grow it long, it’s important not to trim too high up into the

This year’s show features a cast of 25 and a fourperson crew. “The 88-year-old happens to be my mother,” Holloway said, adding that grandmother Bessie made sure music, including piano lessons, was part of her family. The cast also includes performers of all skill levels, from an 82-year-old former Broadway performer to first-timers. A musical was an apt medium for spreading the organization’s message, since music therapy has been shown to be effective with brightening the moods of dementia patients, Holloway said, which is something she saw firsthand with her grandmother. “She’d take my little keyboard and plink out her favorite songs,” Holloway said. “I’d play them back to her and play a wrong note on purpose and she’d immediately notice.”

“When you’re in the chair and in the role, it’s non-stop,” said Ruth Rosenquist, chief Santa wrangler for Noerr Programs. “We want to give them the tools to perform at the highest level.” Added Noerr: “We teach them how to pose, what to say, what not to say, how to be with children. Being Santa is not just about sitting in a chair.” Santas at the training also enjoyed camaraderie and friendship with one another. “When you work at a mall, you don’t get to know other Santas, and here you do,” said Larry Branlett. “This is a wonderful group to learn how to be a better Santa from.” James Chammey is heading into his 34th season as Santa. He does it for a simple reason: “To bring peace, love and happiness to all the children of the world.”

Even Daniel urged him to get control of himself, but The Chad took a swing at his most loyal supporter. In the end, The Chad was asked to leave by the very people who had invited him on the show in the first place. His messy exit was rife with much cursing and braggadocio. The Chad did not go quietly, and, in fact, he returned uninvited to wreak more havoc before finally being removed. To this observer, the end with JoJo was way too long in coming, but she only knew The Chad that he himself wanted her to see. And though his bad behavior on “The Bachelorette” crossed even that show’s boundaries, he was propped up by the same franchise with his invitation to “Bachelor in Paradise.” Predictably, that went way wrong, way fast, and the show’s producers were forced to remove him, outside the normal
Bachelor-themed rose ceremonies. What did surprise me, though, was The Chad’s look of complete and sincere disbelief, and he looked around as though someone from the cast might defend him. Instead, they supported his ouster. OK, I admit that watching “The Bachelorette” is a guilty pleasure, and I further admit that I tuned into “Bachelor in Paradise” because I heard that The Chad had finally imploded. Like a train wreck, I couldn’t look away. Of course, these are just so-called reality shows where characters act badly and expect no repercussions. But sometimes the other people involved actually do force a reckoning and the offending player has to leave the field. Of course, all this is TV entertainment, a reality show. Such situations could never happen in real real-life … Or could they? Andrea Doray is a writer who sees the similarities between The Chad and The Donald as both amusing and frightening.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 15, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You sometimes go to extremes to prove a point. But this time, you won’t have to. Supporters are ready, falling over themselves to help you make your case. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Venus might be your ruling planet, but Mars is in the picture as well. So don’t be surprised if your romantic relationships are a bit rocky at this time. But they’ll soon smooth over. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Geminis might rush into romance and risk being wrong about someone rather than be left with no one. But this is one time when it’s wiser to be wary of where your heart takes you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) With all (or most) of those pesky problems behind you, take time for your family and friends. Travel aspects are favored, with long-distance journeys high on the list. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might have started to question the wisdom of being open with someone you hoped you could trust. But be assured you won’t be disappointed. You’ll soon hear good news. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You have a reputation for honesty and integrity, and that will help turn around a situation that was not only disappointing but also quite unfair. Good luck. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A happy event creates a closer tie with a family member who seemed hopelessly estranged. Positive aspects also dominate in important career matters.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your ruling planet, Pluto, helps you adjust to change. So, stop putting off that long-delayed move, and make it with the assurance that you’re doing the right thing. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You have a wonderful capacity to learn quickly and well. This will help you when you are faced with an opportunity to move on to a new path in life.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Good news: You suddenly find that you’re not facing that new challenge alone. You now have someone at your side, ready to offer whatever support you might need. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your versatility -- which is just one of those aspects of yourself that make you so special -- helps you adapt to the challenges of a new and exciting opportunity. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your sensitive nature picks up on the needs of others. But what about your desires? You need to take more time to assess what your goals are and, if necessary, redirect them. BORN THIS WEEK: You give your trust openly and easily. People find you easy to be with and enjoy your wit, your good sense, and your capacity to love and be loved. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Most importantly, how much of this huge bond is allocated to student improvement or programs to enhance student learning?! Zero. Vote “NO” on 3B, Jeffco’s $535 million bond package. Demand a facility plan that actually improves the schools our students attend and doesn’t waste so much on shuffling students around. Anne Warren, Littleton Voting NO on school bond I’m going to vote no on the school bond issue. I’ve already had my property taxes raised for this very purpose. So, now the teachers’ union-financed school board wants to raise my taxes a minimum of $150 a year for the next 20, yes, 20 years, for the bond and unlimited time on the mill levy increase. That’s a lot of money and time. This doesn’t include the normal Jeffco property taxes that I pay each year for the school district. The school board wants me and my family to ‘fill in the gap,” but who will fill the gap in my wallet over those years? That’s a lot of money over a long period of

The walking dead spotted at the park My family enjoys our local parks, open spaces and community centers such as the Arvada Center. My children love to play and enjoy nature in these spaces. Recently, I feel we are being taken over by zombies, or ‘the walking dead’ in these areas, playing “Pokemon Go!” These people are just walking around, necks bent down staring at their phones, hardly communicating with others. The modeling of screen addiction is by far the highest concern I have. Do these people realize that by getting this app that all of the information and data on their devices/phones are now shared with Google and the companies attached to them? What is happening to people? Is anyone else noticing this addiction to devices? These phone addicts are in the very spaces that we go to to get away from screens. I am so discouraged to see this in our community and basically, to humanity as a whole. It is embarrassing, concerning and disappointing. There’s nowhere else to go to have a screen-free outing.

Taking control can turn the tide In soccer, players who consistently seize possession of 50/50 balls give their teams the best shot to win
Heritage seniors Nate Reisler, left, and Sayan Mehrani battle for a 50/50 ball during an Eagles’ conditioning workout. Photo by Jim Benton
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com An exceptional striker, solid midfielder, steady defender and a good keeper are important for any successful boys soccer team. But the most valuable player is often the athlete who consistently wins or controls 50/50 balls, which allows his team to keep possession and many times, helps his team score goals and play good defense. A 50/50 ball is one in which two players from opposing teams approach a loose ball either on the ground or in the air, with both having an equal chance of getting the ball. A first touch is when a player makes first contact with the ball and tries to control it. “Winning 50/50s is a premier quality of every winning team,” Valor Christian coach Brian Schulz said. “From scoring off 50/50 set plays to winning balls in the run of play to caring if you win even a 50/50 throwin, it says something about your desire to achieve, win, compete and beat your opponent.” Players need anticipation, confidence and physicality to be successful on 50/50 balls. “Especially for good 50/50 players, it’s anticipating a ball before it’s played and understanding what could happen,” Heritage coach Adam Buseck said. “Then for the rest of them, it’s like basketball — boxing out and having some skill to get out of pressure.” Legend coach Jordan Ivey said challenging the second ball is most important. “We stress the importance of challenging the first 50/50 ball but don’t focus on it,” he said. “When you challenge a 50/50 ball it typically creates a second 50/50 ball, and we focus on surrounding the original 50/50 so that we can win the second ball.” ThunderRidge coach Jeremy Hayes said positioning is essential. “It is more important for players to be in good positioning defensively to create turnovers or create chances to win the
LOOKING AHEAD There will be 32 teams that qualify for the Class 3A, 4A and 5A state playoffs that begin Oct. 28. Last season, Heritage, Cherry Creek, state runner-up Mountain Vista and Arapahoe were among the teams that advanced to the quarterfinals. Semifinals are set for Nov. 9 with the state finals for all three classes scheduled for Nov. 12 at Dick’s Sports Goods Park in Commerce City.
ball,” Hayes said. “There are those opportunities to win 50/50 challenges, but they only really occur when a change in possession happens.”
“Ideally, we keep possession on offense and create opportunities to win the ball on defense. Playing small side games is the best way to simulate the idea of keeping the ball or winning it. Knowing when to step or when to engage an attacking player is a tough skill that requires timing, physicality and a bit of luck.” Heritage senior Nate Reisler has been skilled at competing for loose balls. “Winning a 50/50 ball is most important off our goalie’s kick,” Reisler said. “We just won possession and it’s a waste if you don’t win it right away. Obviously, we want to keep possession.” Keeping control of 50/50 balls can be tough. “For me, I kind of have to spot where I think the ball is going to go and get there before anybody else to the spot, and from
there I kind of have to get physical a little bit to make sure I’m in a better position...” Reisler said. “I have to physically go get the ball. I have to have that will to get the ball. “If I know I can’t get to it, I try to position myself at the best possible position to receive the second ball where it is going to rebound out to.” Reisler’s teammate, senior Shayan Mehrani, said players need to mix it up and not get pushed away from the 50/50 balls. “I just use my body,” Mehrani said. “I just go in just being strong and not backing away from the ball, using your arms and obviously not playing dirty. With a 50/50 it is not that hard not to foul as long as you are not tugging a jersey or holding onto someone’s shoulder and just jump straight up on air balls and use your body.”
Tall or small, talented setters a hit While there’s a movement toward finding girls with more height, it’s the skill that sets the pace By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com There has been a trend in girls high school volleyball toward having taller players as setters. Setters in volleyball are like the quarterback in football or the point guard in basketball. They run the offense and determine which of the attackers should be set for a hit. It used to be that smaller, quicker girls fit into the role of a setter, but coaches are now looking for taller athletes who are fast, quick and can beat the ball to the necessary spot on the court to set up teammates. And taller setters are able to more effectively attack on the front line. “In the perfect world, I would have a tall, left-handed setter,” Arapahoe coach Jordan Emily Wright said. “Since I cannot recruit at the high school level, I would take a setter that is difficult to read and smart on the court any day.” Jasmine Schmidt, a senior who plays at Chaparral, is what could be termed a perfect

setter. She is 6 feet 1 and is left-handed. “It helps to be taller, especially if you are running your offense from the front row just to have a bigger person up front,” Schmidt said. “When you’re taller, you can reach the ball at a high contact point. When you are taller, you can set your middle at a faster tempo. They are reaching about as tall as I am reaching so they can hit it out of my hand faster. The ball doesn’t have to travel as far to them since we are the same height.” Being left-handed is also a benefit. “The left hand is a huge advantage, especially when you are in the front row, you can attack the ball on the second contact without Volleyball continues on Page 22

Skill tough to master but yields big returns The way tennis players handle opponents’ serves is crucial in the outcome of matches
Cherry Creek doubles player Tyler Schoen returns a serve during a preseason workout. Photo by Jim Benton
By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com There isn’t much debate about the serve being the most important part of tennis. The importance of the return of a serve, however, can’t be overlooked. “Service return in general is one of the two most important assets of match play,” Cherry Creek boys tennis coach Art Quinn said. “The service is the first shot of the point and the return is the second shot of the point. “Maybe a generation ago, the biggest servers in the pro game dominated the rankings and dominated portions of the game. Nowdays, it’s not the biggest servers, it’s the most effective returning percentage of games won. So the return game has really taken a forefront — not to say that big
The 5A state tournament will be played Oct. 13-15 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver, with the 4A tourney held the same days in Pueblo.
servers can’t win.” It’s the same in high school tennis, where service return is tough to master. “One of the key factors about returning service is there is less time to react, there is less time to read the factors that will help determine where the ball is going,” Quinn said. “Read, process and

having the ball cross over your body,” said Schmidt, who is committed to play next season at Palm Beach Atlantic University. “It’s a lot more comfortable and faster for me to swing on second contact because the ball doesn’t have to cross to the right
execution are very compressed.” And, there’s a difference between service returns in singles and doubles. “For high school tennis, it is really important for a doubles team to have a great service return,” Castle View coach Joel Justice said. “If a team cannot keep it away from the ‘net’ guy
side on my body so it is faster and more natural. “Also if there is a stop jump to the middle of the floor, most setters kind of do that with their left hand, and your left hand is naturally stronger, so you don’t have to worry about missing it or tipping it to the wrong spot because you have more control and power.” Lauren Lowry, a junior at Castle View, also fits Wright’s model as a good — though not tall — setter because she is smart and deceptive.

Teams started practice Aug. 15 with many ladder matches to determine the varsity lineup. Matches start Aug. 18, with the regional state-qualifying tournaments scheduled for Oct. 5-8. Cherry Creek, the five-time defending Class 5A state champion, has to rebuild this season, especially since two of last season’s state finalists decided not to play this season.

they will not be in the point. “The opportunity to hit a cross-court return will get a team into the position of attack, and younger players struggle with that type of pressure.” Mountain Vista senior Hunter Hostelley was a state qualifier at No. 3 singles in 2015 but had to adjust his service returns after playing doubles the year before.
“Coaches want taller setters to compete with the taller hitters, but in my opinion I don’t think that necessarily matters,” Lowry said. “I’m like 5-foot-6, which is small for a setter. I feel like the most important thing is if you set your hitters and score points doing that.” It takes familiarity with the game and teammates to be a valuable setter, particularly amid chaotic rallies. “As a setter, you are involved every single play,” Lowry said. “The goal is to run a fast offense, to get your hitters in a
“Normally, if you watch the toss, you can tell where the server is going to hit the ball,” Hostelley said. “The players are really good at our level. They could go out wide or down the middle. Sometimes you don’t know. “It’s definitely a lot tougher to return in singles. In doubles they usually hit more of a spin serve. In singles, it is more of a flat serve and it’s coming a lot harder. You have to get ready a lot quicker. I always tell myself to do the same thing every time, split step and move forward.” Grant Smith, a Mountain Vista senior, was a state qualifier last season in No. 4 doubles. “In doubles, service return is a little different because you have to make sure you get it cross court and not float it where it can be cut off,” he said. “Just kind of a low cross-court ball is what’s good. “In singles, you can get away with just blocking it back. In doubles you kind of have to learn to stay in front and just get a low ball, maybe a little harder. Cross court is really the biggest thing. In singles you don’t have to worry so much about where to place it.”
one-on-one situation so they have more area to hit the ball, and I guess setting up your hitters so they have a chance to score points for the team. You definitely have to know your players. “In general, being a shorter setter, it’s better to run a faster offense to keep the ball along the net more rather than shooting it up high. That gives the other team less time to go block and gives your hitters more time. You have to run the plays and tell your hitters what you are running on every single play.”
KEEPING UP WITH LOCAL OLYMPIANS Mallory Pugh About Pugh: U.S. women’s soccer team, 2016 Mountain Vista graduate, Highlands Ranch resident, 18 years old. Rio update: Nursing an injured ankle, she replaced Megan Rapinoe in the 33rd minute and scored the second goal for the U.S. in the 45th minute of the 2-2 tie against Colombia Aug. 9. Pugh became the youngest player to score an Olympic goal for the United States. In the Aug. 12 quarterfinal match, she was helped off the field with an apparent ankle injury in the 114th minute of the match that ended in a 1-1 tie.

Rio update: She started in the midfield for her first Olympic start and she headed a corner kick over the goal in the 45th minute of the 2-2 tie with Colombia on Aug. 9.

The U.S. beat Brazil 24-12 in a placing semifinal and captured ninth place on Aug. 11 with a 24-12 victory over Spain.

She was 14th in the Aug. 11 semifinals of the 200-meter backstroke, an event in which she holds the world record, and didn’t qualify for the finals.
