Food bank launches rebrand to reflect additional services, service areas

MY NAME IS

TOM SCRIVEN

Partner with RENEW Raising a family in a beautiful small town I grew up in a beautiful small town in western New York, and my wife and I wanted to raise our family in that type of setting. She is from here, so we moved to Golden in 2013 to be close to her parents and the mountains. I love the outdoors. On good days, I bike to work on a route that takes me off road on North Table Mountain, and on most Sundays, I try to get out and explore a new trail. My wife Dee and I are both lawyers and we met when we were both living in D.C. after completing law school. We got married in 2008, and we have a 2-year-old son and an 8-month-old daughter. RENEW I am a partner with RENEW, which is an impact investment and advisory firm that facilitates private investments in business in East Africa. Our main office is in Ethiopia, but my office is in downtown Golden next to Foothills Art Center. I work with entrepreneurs in Africa to help them secure capital to grow their companies and provide jobs to people in the poorest communities as a path out of poverty. The firm does a lot to support promising companies with training and management consulting. We believe that by investing capital and resources in great companies, we are enabling Ethiopians to strengthen their own economy and increase jobs and wages. We think this is a more effective way to alleviate poverty than through donations and charity. Feleg Tsegaye Last year, I connected with Feleg Tsegaye, an entrepreneur who was born in Littleton and grew up there, so we had that local connection. Feleg is the founder of Deliver

The Arvada Community Food Bank will now be known as Community Table BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tom Scriven, 39, is a partner with RENEW and is interested in having conversations with Golden residents about impact investing. COURTESY PHOTO Addis, which is Ethiopia’s first online restaurant delivery service in the capital city, Addis Ababa. His company is creating jobs for Ethiopian drivers and increasing sales for restaurants. I introduced Feleg’s plan for Deliver Addis expansion to the Impact Angel Network, which is one of the largest U.S.-based investor networks for Africa, and secured interest from the angels to invest in it. Making profit and changing the world Impact investors use their investment dollars not only to make profit, but also to create positive change in the world. I believe Golden has one of the country’s fastest growing and vibrant communities of impact investors in the U.S. — people really care about the types of companies they buy from and invest in. I’d love to see people exploring more ways that they can have part of their investment portfolio doing good here in Golden, or creating jobs, taking care of the environment and providing opportunities for men and women in Africa.

After 36 years of operation, The Arvada Community Food Bank is changing its name to Community Table. Leaders of the organizations say the change is to be more inclusive and reflect its coverage area outside of Arvada as well as the fact that they offer more than just food services. “The importance of doing this was that we are more than a food bank,” said Sandy Martin, executive director of Community Table. “We’ve become an organization involved in helping people at different stages in life.” The food bank, though it has held the city of Arvada in its name since inception actually services a 100 square mile area reaching into Wheat Ridge, Golden, Westminster and Edgewater. Leaders said calling the organization a food bank felt disingenuous with the addition of programs throughout the years. In addition to providing food services, the organization also facilitates GED classes, teachers people how to write resumes and gives them a hand up in their job search. “Many people come assuming that they will see a small, quant little building with a row of food and us giving out boxes,” said Randy Weinert, develop-

ment manager at Community Table. “But when they come, there’s so much more and it was time for our name to reflect that.” The new name, Community Table, came from working with a brand development company, Pure Brand, and talking with donors, staff, the board of directors and clients. “It was interesting because each group had a unique perspective,” said Jill Fellman, president of the board of directors. “But the compassion and how we interact with people is what came shining though. That needed to continue and whatever we did with rebranding, we needed to keep that identity.” So, the name Community Table and the tagline, “gather around” was born out of a deliberate though process. “We don’t mention any particular city or what we do, but we gather around this table and talk, eat, to grow,” Fellman said. “What we really liked about this is that the “table” is supporting the “community” in the logo. The rebrand is in a soft launch — sharing the new name with the community, printing stationary and new business cards. Over the next few months graphics on the trucks and signage at the building will change. Social media names and logos will slowly switch over as well as the website. The team is currently modifying the existing website to reflect changes. Eventually the organization will reveal a whole new website. Services will stay the same.

Suspects arrested in connection with multiple robberies STAFF REPORT

Lakewood police have arrested two men in connection with a string of robberies that began in July of last year at Lakewood King Soopers stores. According to a news release from Lakewood Police, Valentin Justin Arrastia, 36 and Kelen Hobbs Thomas Hobbs, 35, were arrested on suspicion of 11 counts of aggravated robbery. Two Lakewood King Soopers stores had been robbed nine times

since July, the news release stated, and the same men are suspected of two additional King Soopers robberies in Arvada, most recently on Jan. 28. Initially thought to be the work of a single robber, the crimes were featured in several Crime Stoppers segments and bulletins. During the investigation, detectives began to suspect a Arrastia second man as a participant and accessory in the numerous robberies, the release says. About two weeks ago, before the

identities of the alleged robbers were known, a Lakewood officer made a routine traffic stop of the two, which later proved to be critical in developing the two as suspects, the department stated in the release. Lakewood detectives obtained arrest warrants for the two suspects, and both were taken into custody Jan. 29 at a home in the 12600 block of Forest Drive in Thornton. Both were booked into the Adams County Jail and eventually will be transferred to the Jefferson County Jail. The District Attorney’s Office will file formal charges at a later time.

This Year’s Real Estate Commission Update Class Contains Several Surprises All Colorado real estate licensees are required to take a 4-hour annual update class, and, although the deadline for doing so is the end of the year, Golden Real Estate’s brokers take it as early in the year as possible. All 10 of us took the class on January 29th, and came away surprised at some of its content. What surprised us first of all was what the class said about recommending service providers and disclosing “affiliated business arrangements.” Many larger brokerages, such as Coldwell Banker and RE/MAX, have an ownership stake in mortgage companies and other related businesses, including title companies, inspection companies, and insurance companies. If the ownership stake is 1% or greater, that constitutes an “affiliated business arrangement,” and every client of those brokerages must be presented with a disclosure outlining those affiliations and the fact that the brokerages may profit when buyers or sellers engage any of those affiliated businesses. Before I created Golden Real Estate in 2007, I was a broker associate at two firms with affiliated businesses, and I dutifully provided the disclosure of affiliated businesses to my clients, but I found it ethically questionable that agents were encouraged to “capture” clients for these affiliated businesses. I became more concerned as it became clear to agents that those with the highest “capture rates” were rewarded with relocation and other referrals from our managing broker. For years I’ve known that the seller, not their listing agent, should select the title company

and that we should offer a list of no fewer than three title companies from which the seller may choose. I don’t have a problem with that. In this year’s update class, I learned that the list must be in alphabetical order. Okay, I can handle that, too. What surprised me was learning that if a brokerage has an affiliated title company, an agent needs only to disclose the affiliation using the state-approved disclosure form, but he/she does not have to provide the names of competing title companies. Wow! That pretty much guarantees that each agent’s buyers and sellers will use the affiliated title company and inspection company (since buyers and sellers are generally unfamiliar with such companies). And buyers who are renters, not homeowners, are likely to accept their agent’s recommendation of his brokerage’s mortgage company and insurance company because they don’t have an existing relationship with providers of those products/services. This shocked me because it’s so counterintuitive: a small brokerage with no affiliated businesses (and therefore no opportunity to benefit from such an arrangement) is required to provide clients with the names of three vendors of each and every product or service that might be needed during the course of a transaction. A brokerage with affiliated businesses, on the other hand (and which stands to benefit from the recommendation) is not required to provide the names of alternative vendors. A year ago, the Denver Post published the results of an investigation of 2,200 transactions showing that three-quarters of those big bro-

2 Golden Real Estate Agents Are Qualified Staging Experts David Dlugasch recently obtained certification and designation as a Home Staging Expert® from Center Stage Home, Inc. The course included all aspects of staging a home to sell, from utilizing the homeowners furnishings, to a vacant listing, and alternatives that fall in between. This is a huge added value that David brings to Golden Real Estate. He has already provided staging advice to several of our clients.

Susan Dixon is an American Lighting Association certified designer and has staged homes professionally for 10 years. She studied art and architecture in Europe and received her Bachelor of Arts in Design at Brigham Young University where her emphasis was in Interior Design. As a Realtor and as a designer, Susan is an expert in home décor and has a passion to serve her clients in both capacities..

kerages captured 90% or more of the title work for their affiliated title company. Another surprise for me was the expanded definition of “settlement service providers.” I had been under the impression that the term “settlement service providers” referred only to title companies, mortgage companies and other providers of services related to settlement, i.e. closing. In the update class, we were told that this term also applies to the following: ►Attorneys ►Inspectors ►Surveyors ►Contractors ►Home Warranty companies Brokers must now provide an alphabetical list of three providers in all of these categories. I am not allowed to share my own experience, gained from 15 years of observing the competence and professionalism of service providers in any of these categories. But if I enjoyed a 1% ownership interest in any of these categories, I could recommend just that one vendor, providing that I disclosed that ownership interest. It doesn’t seem right to me. According to the Real Estate Commission, this rule is designed “to provide transparency, accountability, and consumer protection through disclosure” and “to ensure consumers do not pay disproportionately high settlement costs.” These new rules, as defined by the Real Estate Commission, appear to stifle competition which tends to increase costs to the consumer. Maybe they should revisit the rules. How does exempting companies with affiliated businesses from offering the names of alternative service providers satisfy the commission’s stated goal? Agents working for a brokerage with affiliated business arrangements may be surprised to learn in this year’s update class that they must disclose in writing the existence of the affiliated business arrangement at the time the referral is made. In other words, simply having the clients sign the disclosure at the beginning of

their relationship is not sufficient. It must be disclosed again at the time any of those service providers are referred. If followed, this practice could help reduce that 90% capture rate reported by the Denver Post. Note: While the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) requires disclosure only when the transaction involves a federally insured loan, Colorado law requires disclosures in all transactions, including a cash sale or one without a federally insured loan. Perhaps the most shocking item in this year’s update class concerned the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA). If you purchase real estate from a foreign national without a Green Card, you, the buyer, are required to withhold 15% of the purchase price at closing and to forward that money to the IRS within 20 days of closing. You read that correctly, if you’re the buyer, it is your responsibility, and if you fail to do so, the IRS can come after you for the tax not withheld, plus interest and penalties! The buyer’s agent may also be held responsible but only up to the amount of any commission earned on the transaction. You’re only off the hook by getting a signed affidavit from the seller affirming that he/she is not a foreign national living abroad. And, as if putting the burden on the home buyer isn’t enough, this federal law states that the withholding is 15% of the entire purchase price, even though the seller will be responsible in the end for paying tax only on his/her capital gain. By the way, this requirement of the buyer to withhold the tax does not apply if the purchase price is $300,000 or less. In conclusion, I urge other real estate licensees to take the update class early in the year instead of waiting, as so many do, until November or December. Meanwhile, I hope this column is helpful to them, not just consumers. Note: We have a smartphone app that lists 100 service provides in 50 categories. Get it at www.clientlinkt.com/install/243.

Five years ago, the Denver area got one of its largest February winter storms on record, when 15.9 inches of snow fell between Feb. 2 and 4. Fast-forward to Feb. 26, 2015, and Denver set an all-time snowfall record of 22.2 inches, breaking the mark set in 1912. But in 2018, extended forecasts predict mostly dry conditions with only light, brief snowstorms for the next two weeks. The lack of snowfall has been especially disappointing for the skiers, snowboarders and snowshoers in the state, but it also leaves a lot of people concerned about the water supply. But it’s not as bad as one would think — water providers plan for years in advance for Colorado’s dry times. “Colorado is very dependent on Mother Nature for its water supply,” said Lisa Darling, executive director of the South Metro Water Supply Authority. “You always want to make sure you’re planning for no matter what Mother Nature hands you.” The South Metro Water Supply Authority is an umbrella organization with 13 water provider members that represent about half of Douglas County and about 10 percent of Arapahoe County. Currently, Denver Water’s reservoir system, which serves about 1.4 million people in the City of Denver and the surrounding suburbs, is 90 percent full, said Dave Bennett, the director of water resource strategy for Denver Water. Because of this, which can in part be attributed to the water conservation efforts of area residents, it’s unlikely there will be major water

restrictions come this summer, said Peter Goble, a research associate at the Colorado Climate Center, a recognized state climate office located in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. The center provides services and expertise related to Colorado’s climate. However, there is only a 30 percent chance of ending this snow season with above-average or average snowpack, Goble said. And it’s when the mark is missed for years on end that the shortfall becomes a problem, he added. There should be some level of concern, Goble said, “but it could be much worse.” One thing that people must keep in mind is that Colorado is a semiarid region, meaning it is not a wet area, but also not a desert, Bennett said. On average, the Denver area receives about 16 inches of precipitation a year. “This has been an unusual year because the amount of snow falling in different parts of the state has been inconsistent,” Bennett said. But “we’re watching it very closely and can respond as needed to any water shortages we’d be facing.” Precipitation in Colorado is valuable and variable, Darling said. This means there will be an element of uncertainty when predicting accumulation of precipitation, she added. But consumers should have confidence in their water provider, Darling said. “Water providers think about water year-round and for years in advance,” she said. They plan carefully “for that uncertain future.” Overall, according to the National Integrated Drought Information System, as of Jan. 30, about 99 percent of Colorado residents live in areas experiencing abnormally dry conditions. The remaining 1 percent — in a small section of Larimer County — live in the only area not in some degree of SEE DROUGHT, P7

Localworks changing executive directors Farewell Fisher, hello Lewis STAFF REPORT

For more than a decade now Britta Fisher has been a visible, and vocal booster for Wheat Ridge. As the Executive Director for the nonprofit organization Localworks — formerly called Wheat Ridge 2020 — Fisher has supported the community and economic vitality of the city. That now changes, as Fisher has been named executive director of mpowered, a finanFisher cial health nonprofit serving metro Denver and Colorado. Krista Lewis, former Director of Development at Jefferson Center for Mental Health, became Localworks new Executive Director on Jan. 16. Under Fisher Localworks received 2016 Nonprofit of the Year from the West Chamber, in recognition for the more than 50 communitybuilding events it hosts every year, as well as helping to revitalize commercial and residential properties around Wheat Ridge. Fisher herself was awarded 40 Under 40 by the Denver Business Journal in 2017. In a press release about the new position, Fisher said she started her career in Colorado serving basic services agencies and people in crisis. “I marvel at the skills and life lessons I learned from clients facing hunger and struggling to keep housing they couldn’t afford.

a drought. The driest areas are to the west and south of the Front Range. The South Platte Basin, which serves the Front Range from Douglas County northward, is at 85 percent of its average precipitation as of Jan. 19, Goble said. Although there may not be any water restrictions on consumer usage, there could be other environmental and recreational impacts attributed to the lack of snowfall, Goble said. These could include affecting river activities, such as kayaking or fly fishing because the rivers could be low, and a higher risk for fires. “Some years are going to be dry, and some years are going to be wet,” said Bart Miller, the director of the Healthy Rivers Program for Western Resource Advocates. “Having drier years like this one raises awareness and helps people take an incentive to water conservation.” it can also influence the Legisla-

excited to contribute to the capable team at mpowered coaching those facing financial difficulty with tools that aid their strengths and build financial security for their families,” Fisher said. The same press release quoted the mpowered board as being “pleased to have found an experienced executive director with understanding and appreciation for the mission of the organization. “Britta brings a unique skillset that fits exactly what mpowered was looking for in its next leader. We’re excited to have her on board as we take the organization to the next level,” said Christina Frantz, president of the mpowered board of directors. The organization’s mission is to empower people to transform their financial futures through financial coaching, financial education, and debt management programs. Since inception in 2001, mpowered has served more than 63,000 families in the Denver Metro Area and helped reduce more than $32 million in debt. Lewis, who has been with the county for eight years said she is enthusiastic about her new role with Localworks. “I look forward to connecting with the community and am thrilled to do my part to ensure the vitality, strength, and health of Wheat Ridge and its citizens now and into the future,” Lewis said. Localworks will host a public reception welcoming Lewis on Feb. 15 at Clancy’s Irish Pub from 4-6 p.m. If interested, please RSVP to reception@wearelocalworks.org by Feb. 12.

ture to try new things, Miller added. For example, he said, look at House Bill 16-1005, also known as the rain barrel bill. It was signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper in May 2016 and allows Colorado homeowners to collect a total capacity of 110 gallons of rainwater to use for outdoor purposes, such as gardening. “This new law will … connect people with their water usage more closely and encourage water conservation,” said Rep. Jessie Danielson, D-Golden, in a previous interview at the time of the bill singing. Danielson was one of the bill’s legislative sponsors. “In our state, when it comes to water, even small efforts like this will add up to help us protect our most precious resource,” Danielson said. Overall, people in Colorado have done a good job with being mindful of how much water they use, both indoors and outdoors, Darling said. And no matter if in a drought or not, it’s important use water wisely all the time, she added. “What you do today,” Darling said, “influences the amount of water that will be available in the future.”

Puma’s Corner 10 EASY STEPS Last month we discussed the importance of checking on building permits before listing your property, or before putting an offer on a home. This month I want to turn to the broader issue of preparing your home for sale. Here are 10 Easy Steps to ensure you get the most value for your home: Step 1: Improve your Landscaping You must have great curb appeal – Have you heard it’s the first impression that counts? It really does. Step 2: Do a “Home Wash,” Clean gutters and Windows and Remove Screens Step 3: Deep Clean the Interior… every room Step 4: Remove Clutter and Depersonalize Buyers want to envision their belongings in your home. Rent a storage unit or POD to store your knickknacks, photos, extra furniture, and other personal items. Step 5: Organize Closets and store out-of-season clothes elsewhere Step 6: Take Color Down a Notch… neutral color pallette Lime green may be your thing, but it may put off buyers who cannot envision it in a different light. Step 7: Do a Pre-listing Inspection and Make Key Repairs now Step 8: Get World Class Photography Done Your first showing will likely be on-line! Step 9: Get 1 Billion Eye Balls on your Listing with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty Syndication! My relationship with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty enables me to bring more home buyers to your listing. Our status as the only Colorado Brokerage to be awarded the CARTUS Platinum Excellence Award means having one of the most exclusive corporate relocation relationships in Colorado.

Annual homeless survey reveals an invisible side of society By Shanna Fortier, Clarke Reader, Christy Steadman and Glenn Wallace

very year in January, a small army of volunteers from churches, human services departments, nonprofits and law enforcement fan out into communities across the nation and conduct a pointin-time survey of their area’s homeless population. This time last year, 394 people were found spending the night in shelters, vehicles, or the streets of Jefferson County. By its nature, the homeless survey only acts as an incomplete snapshot of what the homeless population looks like on that one night. And by the nature of homelessness, with a population constantly in flux, it is difficult group to count. Current federal guidelines also do not count individuals temporarily staying in motels (unless paid for by a service provider), or couch surfing with friends as homeless. While many of those involved in the annual Point in Time (PIT) survey point out its many shortcoming, they also say it is the best

survey tool they have. The stakes are also high to still be as thorough as possible since regional, state and federal funding could be affected. “Our funding is determined by how many we can survey, which is stupid. Out here our population is scattered, hard to find,” said Kathryn Otten, Jefferson County’s director for the Division of Housing and Integration. “We’ve got 24 hours to survey 774 square miles ... we don’t even have time to start looking up in the mountains.” Next year Otten says the county will again petition to have a full week to survey.

Family Tree’s Housing Supervisor Linda Barringer leads the meeting, and divides the gathered people into three groups, headed toward the severe weather shelters — open tonight specifically for the count, despite the fact

that the evening low will only dip down to 37 degrees, and the ground is dry, downright pleasant conditions for this time of year. Be sure to get your team leader’s cell number, Barringer reminds the group before they head out.

STREETS FROM PAGE 8

As the adults and volunteer Chuck Adams get the tents set up, the halfdozen or so children play – the teenagers shoot hoops, and the young girls run around, visiting with each other, coloring, and scampering through the kitchen. In that kitchen, Kim Adams, Chuck’s wife, and Tina Stuckey, the shelter coordinator, are preparing a salad, getting the lasagna in the oven, as well as a turkey, stuffing and green beans. In the midst of it all, Aaron Durant is there. He helps a family with a tent, then is in the kitchen, answering questions from Stuckey and Kim, and then he’s trying wrangle a few of the children. “I’ve done all kinds of jobs over the years, but this is the hardest,” Durant said, taking a brief break in the kitchen. “I started out volunteering here cleaning the toilets, and Pastor James Fry asked if I wanted to take helping run the shelter on.” Durant was familiar with Fry and Mean Street, because he made use of the organization’s food pantry and cafe, as he himself is homeless by choice. “I’ve lived the kind of life that most people have, and I didn’t know anyone. I felt alone a lot,” he remembered. “But on the street, I feel like I’ve gotten to know a lot of great people. I know what they’re going through, and am trying to help.” Arvada Covenant Church Severe Weather Shelter — 6:50 p.m. PIT volunteers arrive at Arvada Covenant Church on Ward Road and find six volunteers from Faith Bible Chapel manning the shelter for the night. They set up pizza and salad for dinner and mini cupcakes for dessert. Five men and one woman arrive for dinner and a night of sleep indoors. Deloris Thomas, a case worker at Family Tree, is the survey team leader. “Personally, I’m hoping to find out about personal situations people are going though that are leading them into homelessness,” she said. But Thomas said she was worried that the unseasonably warm weather will skew the count on the low side as it did last year. “We need to show that this population exists. So, when the numbers are low — even though when know these people are there and we are servicing them, if the surveys don’t reflect that — then the money isn’t there.” Among the counted was Tyler Blane Croaker, 50, of Wheat Ridge. Croaker had been living on the streets for just over week. He lost his housing after a heroin overdose almost took his life. “I still can’t believe I’m in this situation, it’s one of my worst nightmares,” Croaker said. Croaker said that he broke his back and after six surgeries became highly addicted to pain medications. A year ago, he switched to heroin because it was cheaper and always available. “At first I said I needed it for my back,” Croaker said. “But it came to a point where it was more of an addiction. I lost control.”

Tina Stuckey, Mean Street Ministry’s shelter coordinator, plays with two children staying the night at the shelter on Jan. 29. Families are the only ones allowed to stay at the shelter. CLARKE READER means that volunteers are getting better at counting this population.

Mitch Pino, 34, was born and raised in Denver and currently lives in a cave in Jefferson County. He stayed at the Westwoods Community Church’s Severe Weather Shelter on Jan. 29 and was one of the Jefferson County residents facing homelessness counted in the Point-inTime survey. CHRISTY STEADMAN

THE 2017 PIT SURVEY To see the results of last year’s report, go to http://everyonecounts.mdhi.org/2017_ report Mean Street Ministry – 7:15 p.m. Dinner preparations are coming along nicely, and it smells delicious. PIT volunteers are speaking to family members for the annual survey. Some have been willing to speak, others refused. This is typical when dealing with people who face a lot of stigma and scorn from the more fortunate, said Morgan Wieziolowski, who works with the AmeriCorps VISTA program. “It’s extremely important to the county and the whole city to get this information,” Wieziolowski said. “While it may be just a snapshot of the homeless population, HUD (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) needs numbers to provide appropriate funding to programs to help the homeless.” The survey volunteers have “incentive packs,” which include donated items like water bottles, food, and other necessities. People received a pack whether they answered the questions or not. While it might be discouraging, Wieziolowski said she expects the number of homeless to go up this year, which is actually a good thing. It

Westwoods Community Church Severe Weather Shelter — 7:20 p.m. It seems as if there’s more and more people in this area facing homelessness, said Jacqui Daughery as she sat at a table with a list of names in front of her, waiting for the van to arrive with Westwoods Community Church’s guests for the evening. “But when they’re here,” she added, “they’re here to rest, be fed and safe.” Daughery, her husband Mike and two of three of their children were of the 10 volunteers at the church who helped cook a meal and prepare bedding for the church’s overnight guests. By 7 p.m., the guests arrived. Only four of the five guests that signed up to stay there have shown up. After the four men have checked in with Jacqui, they went into the large conjoining room to pick up bedding from one of Jacqui’s sons. “The value of volunteering with the Severe Weather Shelter Network is getting to see people as they deserve to be seen. Everybody has a name and a story that is not much different than our own,” said Aaron Doverspike, an overnight host at Westwoods. Once they had set up their bedding in their chosen place to sleep, the guests went to the far side of the room and made themselves a plate of food —chili, chicken noodle soup, baked potatoes, bread and mini cupcakes and cookies. “When it gets really cold, these folks could die,” Mike Daughery said. “Being able to come to a place that’s warm and safe could be life-saving.” The Severe Weather Shelter Network’ focus is to keep people alive, Jacqui Daughery added. “They’re seen, and they’re valued,” she said. Mean Street Ministry — 7:35 p.m. A small band gathers outside the shelter doors. It includes Pastor James Fry, the executive director of the ministry, and his constant companion Zeke the German shepard circles his legs, making occasional detours to those nearby, in hopes of a good petting. Otten is there, along with other members of the Mean Street organization: Todd Graber, Mandie Gallagher and Durant. As they wait, a family — man, woman and an elementary-aged boy — walk by on their way into the shelter,

pulling their belongings in scuffed luggage behind them. “It’s so early still, should we still go out?” Otten asks. “Nobody’s going to be settling down yet,” Graber, who is part of the ministry’s weekly street team, nods in agreement. Still, it’s PIT night, and Jeffco needs a more accurate count if it wants any additional funding. So the group piles into two vehicles and heads off to check the common congregation spots. The first location is a bust. “They do hide, that’s part of the game,” said Durant. “Can’t get a ticket if you don’t get caught.” He would know, having spent years on these same streets. But while everyone in the group is familiar with these streets, none of them are under the illusion that they are all safe. “Last time we went out a lady whipped a hammer at my head,” Otten says. “I kept the hammer.” Fry later confirms her story. “Yeah, she keeps the hammer on her desk now.” Westwoods Community Church Severe Weather Shelter — 8 p.m. Mitch Pino got his Pikachu hat last summer. “I was looking for a Denver Broncos hat, but they were out of season,” Pino said. “This was the best hat they had and it looks good on me. I like it.” But usually when it’s really cold outside, he’ll wear his Denver Broncos beanie. And on those nights, he goes to a severe weather shelter to avoid “freezing to death,” he said. Pino, 34, was born and raised in Denver and currently lives in a cave in Jefferson County. “I don’t plan on living there forever,” he said, adding he is currently attending school to earn his high school equivalency diploma. And he has a goal to pursue higher education — a bachelor’s degree in science, perhaps. Or maybe someday he’ll open a Mexican restaurant because enjoys cooking, Pino said as he ate a warm bowl of chili. Mean Street Ministry – 8:15 p.m. “It’s a feast tonight,” exclaimed Stuckey, as she surveyed the full spread for the evening. One child who is staying the night with her family at the shelter agrees – “It smells so good in here.” All the food Mean Street serves is donated – either purchased or handmade by volunteers. Another guest for the night sums it up best – “It’s like Thanksgiving tonight.” Before dinner is served, Chuck calls for a prayer, in which everyone forms a circle and holds hands. A few PIT volunteers remained in case any more families arrive, but it looks like about seven will be the total for the evening. The dinner experience is the same one might see in any cafeteria — People laughing, telling stories, stealing bites of each other’s food. Kim eventually gets to join her husband, eating with the night’s guests. “This is my favorite part – going out to eat with them,” she said. “You get SEE STREETS, P10

these people and get to know them.” Edgewater — 8:35 p.m. The truck has a sun shade up against the windshield, a rosary hanging in front. The back is almost full, and covered by tarps. Inside the cab a man and woman can be heard trying to shush a dog. The couple is homeless, sleeping in the truck for the foreseeable future, and, after a bit of conversation, agree to participate in the survey. The man, Eloy Morales, does most of the talking, and has a lot to say. “What kind of country is it where you can make minimum wage and not be able to afford a place to f***ing stay?!” he asks. According to Morales, his wife worked 27 years for the DMV. He served in the Army and put in more than two decades of work as a state employee. Still, bills mounted and their house was foreclosed on. “We’re not out here trashing anything,” Morales says, insisting they even pick up after their dog Cody. “We’re just out here surviving.” Colfax and Teller — 8:55 p.m. A guy dressed in unassuming clothes saunters past. A team member strikes up a conversation on the chance the man is homeless. He is, but doesn’t want to talk. “I’ve tried and tried and tried. Been

February 8, 2018F homeless since 2004. And that’s all I have to say about that,” he says as he walks off. At the nearby bus stop along Colfax a loud, drunk voice echoes across the parking lot. Two bundled shapes are visible on the bench. Graber approaches the pair first. “Who the f***k are you?” says the noisy one on the left. “My name is Todd. I’m just a guy.” “Well I’m just a f**king guy too!” he responds. The one on the right hunches lower in her coat, and doesn’t indicate even hearing Graber’s questions. She opens up more when approached later by the women on the street team, who manage to go through the survey with her. “She wasn’t unattractive, which is bad.” said Fry. “Good looking women don’t last long out here.” The Rising Church Day Shelter — Tuesday, 10:30 a.m. The day shelter at The Rising Church in Olde Town sees anywhere from 30-70 people needing services each day. Tuesday morning was no different as the downstairs bustled with men and women experiencing homelessness. Some bathed in the newly remodeled showers. Others drank coffee and ate breakfast. Some stocked up on snacks or food for the week. A few browsed the clothing racks in the gym. “Everything is going really well,” said Rebel Rodriguez, food bank and day shelter director at The Rising, adding that clothes and food are doSEE STREETS, P11

“Go ahead and take the (expletive) picture,” said the man, parked on the bus stop bench along Colfax the night of Jan. 29. He was clearly intoxicated, but not altogether unfriendly. “God bless you,” he said in parting. GLENN WALLACE

nated daily by the community. Rodriguez sat with a group at the table conducting PIT surveys. “I’m really impressed with how well it’s gone this year,” Rodriguez said of the surveys. “I feel like this year will be a little more accurate.” Rodriguez continued with saying she felt the survey last year didn’t reflect the true number of homeless. “I feel like a lot of even our folks were totally missed,” she said. One man who has taken advantage of services at The Rising to work toward gaining housing again is Norman Slyfox, 51. “The church has really helped me from day one,” he said. Slyfox became homeless shortly after his girlfriend was jailed for a repeat DUI. He couldn’t handle the bills on his own, so he put his belongings in storage and took to the streets while she spent a year in jail. “Well, the streets are a hard place,” Slyfox said matter of factly. “To go from living inside being comfortable to readjusting to what it takes to survive on the streets is quite a change.” Throughout his almost five months of homelessness, Slyfox continued to work as a master electrician. He saved every nickel and dime he could. Now, he says he’s weeks away from moving into a new apartment. Arvada Public Library — Tuesday, 12:25 p.m. Spaghetti and salad were on the menu for lunch at the library. Those experiencing homelessness were invited to visit the library to take the point in time survey and eat a meal in return. The event at the library was a new addition to the count this year. A similar event took place at the Belmar Library at the same time and at the Columbine Library the night before.

She also served as the PIT coordinator for the Jeffco libraries. The Arvada library, located across the street from The Rising and next to Olde Town Square, sees one of the highest rates of homelessness of all the Jeffco libraries. “This location faces unique challenges because serving the homeless community does also come with challenges,” Groene-Nieto said. “There’s more security incidents, more behavioral, more intoxication. But I think the staff here views that as an opportunity to and recommit to figure out how to end the problem of homelessness.” Russ Coley, a volunteer who works at the Jefferson Center for Mental Health, thought that providing lunch for homeless community helped bring people in to get surveyed. “I told them we’re trying to find out what services are needed and the best way to do that is talk to the people who need those services,” he said. “The homeless population here is now bigger than anyone wants to admit and most of us are one or two paychecks away from the same thing.” Coley said to him, the most important thing the community can do is to identify the homeless population as part of the community. “Look people in the eye,” Cooley said. “Rather than turn away in disgust, say ‘hi.’”

Similiarities between leading a city and leading a school Golden High’s sophomore student councilors lunch with Golden Mayor Sloan BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Being mayor is a part time job, said Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan during a luncheon with 10 Golden High School sophomores who make up part of the school’s student council. “Really, it’s more like a hobby,” Sloan added. “City council sets policy, and the city manager implements it. Ideally, you can have a full-time job, a family and be mayor.” Sloan met with the students on Jan. 31 in city council chambers in city hall. Julie Behrens, the assistant director for the Golden Civic Foundation, bought the Lunch with the Mayor package at the Golden Civic Foundation’s 42nd annual Gala & Auction on Nov. 11. She bought it with the intention of donating it to Golden High School’s sophomore student council members because her daughter is on the student council, she said. “This sounded like something that would tie into their leadership curriculum,” Behrens said. “They’re young, developing leaders in their school, and any tools they can learn from a strong community leader will only help them and their school community.”

Enzo Perri, a sophomore student councilor at Golden High School, listens as Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan leads conversation at a Lunch with the Mayor event on Jan. 31 at city hall. CHRISTY STEADMAN The mayor and the students discussed a variety of topics in the approximate hour they had together: how the City of Golden’s leadership works, tactics to get an entire community involved in civic responsibility and events and the similarities between what the student council struggles with and the similarities between what the city council struggles with. “Student council is trying to be a voice for everybody,” said student councilor Lucy Grylicki. “It was interesting to see how she deals with different people in the community, despite how they all differ from each other.” Fellow student councilor Cali Poulos agreed. “It’s cool how she emphasized that it’s important to take in account other

people’s perspectives to solve an issue when there’s not a right or wrong answer,” she said. Much of the discussion was led by the students’ questions for the mayor, but Sloan also asked the students some questions. “What are your challenges at Golden High School?” Sloan asked the students. And “how do you come up with solutions to them?” Sloan mentioned that one of the toughest issues she’s currently facing is that Golden wants to stay a small town, but is challenged with development and growth. “We want to stay small,” Sloan said, “but still grow and offer housing that can be affordable to families and young people.”

Student councilor Katja Behrens responded by saying that the high school faces a somewhat similar situation. “We’re so close to being a 5A school,” Katja Behrens said. “That would bring stature and a lot of good things, but it would also change our culture as a small, special school.” Sloan also brought up the discussion of allowing 16-and-17-year-olds the right to vote in local elections, because she wanted to hear the student leaders’ opinion. “Voting at a younger age would inspire more of the younger people to want to vote in the future,” said student councilor Lucy Goldman. Fellow student councilor Stella Schneider added that if students were able to vote, it would most likely empower them because they’d be involved in an important role of a community member. The student council’s mission is “to create school spirit and belongingness where it doesn’t exist and support it where it does,” the students said. So the things the mayor had to say about leadership was valuable and beneficial, they said. But “just her coming to meet and talk with us shows she cares about the schools and Golden’s younger population,” said student councilor Cassie Oberholtzer, adding this was not the first time she had met the mayor. “And she’s willing to do it multiple times — it’s not just a one-time thing.”

Jeffcon teaches students tech opportunities About 200 students attended the conference

Students got hands-on applications during break out sessions at the daylong tech conference.

Technology Trivia got about 200 Jefferson County high school students rowdy during lunch Jan. 31 at the first ever Jeffcon, technology conference held at the Jeffco schools building. “I’ve seen kids faces lighting up, lots of smiles and they’re really excited,” said Shawn Rhoades, director of IT service desk and client support at Jeffco Schools. Rhoades was one of 33 IT professionals and community partners presenting to students through breakout sessions at the all day conference. Her session focused on how IT support works in general and at Jeffco schools, and career paths in this field. “We work in education for a reason,” Rhoades said. “To have this opportunity to work with all these students is fantastic.” One student who was excited

PHOTOS BY SHANNA FORTIER to learn more about IT was Zack Valencia, senior at Green Mountain High School. Valencia said he was hoping that attending Jeffcon we help him decide what are of expertise he would like to pursue as a career. His classmate Gordon Pexton was in the same boat. “I know I really like working with computers,” Pexton said. “But I don’t know what I want to go into. I’m hoping this will help me find out what I want

to do.” At the conference, each student attended four breakout sessions of their choice. Topics ranged in topic including cyber security, networking, voicebots, computer repair, enterprise device management, web design and development, firewalls and women in IT. “We didn’t know what to expect,” said Brett Miller, chief information officer for Jeffco schools. “Students are staying engaged, they’re curious and

asking questions and that’s a big positive.” Another positive Miller said was that of the 200 students, 30 were girls. “That’s promising to see,” he said. “ You don’t see a lot of girls in technology and science.” For the first Jeffcon, all high schools in the district allowed 10 students to apply to attend the conference. After the initial application, some schools did not have anyone apply, so schools with additional interest were given more slots. Leah Lindblom, technology coordinator at Arvada West

High School, brought 17 students with her. Her hope was that students find their passion and be introduced to new things. “If we can find something that can change them today and help trigger something, ignite curiosity… who knows,” Lindblom said. “It’s been a super exciting day. The adults and students — having us all in the same room together has been really cool.” Miller said moving forward Jeffcon will be an annual event to give students opportunity to find a career path that suites them.

School district lays groundwork for budget Early direction is set for the March 5 special meeting

community members were broken into groups from discussion. “It was helpful for us to have heard those conversations and talk about it with small groups of people,” Rupert said. “I thought that feedback was more useful than some of the other strategies.” Board members agreed that the telephone town halls the district held last year felt like one-way conversations and that they would prefer a community outreach method that allowed back-and-forth dialog. “The whole point of having community engagement is to gather input and make decisions based on our voters and taxpayers,” Rupert said. Board member Ali Lassel agreed saying that the boards job is to be the “eyes and ears and voice for the community” and asked to be in

Jefferson County Public Schools is in the early phases of laying groundwork for the 2018/19 budget. During the month of February, the district will begin community engagement, negotiations with the unions and look at cabinet recommendations. The Jeffco Board of Education got an overview of the timeline in study session Feb. 1. Board member Brad Rupert pointed out to staff that for him, the most effective community engagement tool was two years ago, when

front of community members as much as possible during the engagement sessions. Four community engagement sessions will be scheduled throughout March and April. At the March 5 BOE meeting, the board will be asked to give staff early direction and feedback on the upcoming budget. Superintendent Dr. Jason Glass explained that this will be a high level budget overview with expectations around expenditures to orient around competing needs and seek feedback. Looking forward to the budget, Rupert reminded the board that there has been an emphasis on catching up on compensations for the past two years. “I think we kept faith with that, but we’ve been doing that at the

expense of addressing a lot of facility needs,” Rupert said. “Yes, it’s absolutely important to continue to remain competitive and compensate people that are actually getting the work done. But it’s also really important that the buildings people are doing work in are safe and functional. We can’t loose sight that we’ve been kicking that can down the road every year and at some point we need to start addressing those needs.” Based on the governor’s request, Jeffco is looking at an estimated $30 million increase to state funding with $3 million of that passing through to charters. Final direction for the budget will be sought in April with a proposed budget and public hearing on May 3. Final direction and adoption of the budget is tentatively set for June 7.

But truth became too elusive, too exclusive, too exhausting to pursue for so long. This week, I heard a marvelous quote on NPR, from the artist Clyfford Still, who said something along the lines of even truth being a lie in the wrong mouth. In a world of alternative facts, how prophetic was this? During my sabbatical, the word “balance” seemed unapologetically appropriate, but defining that balance was much harder. Sure, we can

To find better health, first find your happy place

love to laugh! There’s nothing like a good belly laugh with friends, family, and colleagues at work. The experience brings us closer together, and on bad days, helps bring us back into a positive frame of mind. Laughter is a universal experience, transcending language, TODAY’S cultures, and even SENIORS age, while also helping heal the mind, body, and spirit. Who knew that a chuckle or two could be so good for our health? Let’s start with the brain. College of William and Mary researchers found that Vickie Krudwig just before a person laughs, a ‘wave of electricity sweeps through’ the entire cerebral cortex, supporting a long-thought theory that humor can help improve cognitive functioning. The ability to laugh also helps protect against anxiety, depression and other mental health issues commonly experienced in later years. Dr. Lee Burk, an associate professor at Loma Linda University, has spent nearly three decades studying how laughter affects the body and even reduces stress. How? By preventing the release of stress hormones like cortisol, he reports. Levels of dopamine, the feel-good hormone, also increase,

which create a calm, less anxious state of being (Ah, yes, we all need to feel that inner Zen!). Those who can laugh and approach life with a positive attitude also have better resiliency and are better equipped to cope with stressful situations. Good for the Body A hearty har-har helps improve a person’s physiological functions. Blood vessel function, which increases the blood flow to the brain and the heart, is improved. The risk of heart attack and stroke is reduced by lowering blood pressure and increasing oxygen intake. A dose of laughter can also help prevent sickness and disease. T-cells and salivary immunoglobulin A released during a bout of laughter stimulate the body’s immune system. While laughter doesn’t replace the daily aerobic exercise needed for good heart health, a study of 20 participants by Dr. Michael Miller, a cardiologist at the University of Maryland, determined laughter creates the same effect as aerobic activity. Good for the Soul For those living with chronic or degenerative conditions, like Parkinson’s, cancer, Alzheimer’s or dementia, a study by Dr. Jean-Paul Bell of Australia’s Arts Health Institute found laughter may be useful medicine. The study tracked the “effects of live com-

edy on elderly nursing home patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s” and found that “participants were more positive and happier, while aggressive behaviors by the patients decreased for about 26 weeks after the program ended.” Surprisingly, while most of us enjoy and benefit from a good laugh throughout the day, there are those who experience distress from intense or forced laughter. Such therapy as ‘laugh yoga,” helps those individuals navigate the benefits of laughter safely. Sebastian Gendry, an expert in laughter for wellness, explains, “Ultimately, laughter is about breathing, and breathing is not a contraindication to life.” If you are considering programs like laugh therapies such as laugh yoga, always get the advice of your doctor first before starting this or any other exercise regimen. He

reminds everyone to, “Respect your limitations … avoid extremes … and if you laugh more, drink more water.” Laughter is a universal tool that can restore our sense of well-being. It’s a prescription for fun and it doesn’t cost us a penny. So, go ahead, watch a funny movie, share a joke or two, and laugh it up. In other words, find your happy place. Your body, mind, and soul will thank you for it.

ing myself of what else was essential. And there’s not a word for fixing that. What there is, though, is a recognition … a recognition that persistent world-weariness is a thief, a robber of contentment, of progress, of peace. And although I’ll never abandon my activism for what’s important to me, I can scale it back to an emotionally sustainable level. I can prioritize the important, the urgent, the obligatory, and the essential. And I can accept that to take care of others, I must take care of myself. So, even as I write this, I find that – as most essays do – this one has taken its own course, and, in the process, has defined my word and my focus for the year. I can. Andrea Doray is a writer who would love to hear what your word, your focus is. Let her know at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

A defiantly stubborn. old unhealthy imbalance. One that’s not going well! It’s time to grow together. Elder women’s hard earned political voices of wisdom are a precious commodity to be shared. Helps keep our country safer, if heeded. There’s a need to come together more powerfully focused on Equality & Unity than at any other time in history. Carolyn Antell, Golden Editor’s Note: The ‘Battle of the Sexes’ headline was written by us, not by Mr. Alcorn.

A negative state Watching the State of the Union address by President Trump was an eye opener regarding the state of society. No matter what your political belief, it would seem that you would want your country to prosper. I didn’t care for President Obama’s socialistic outlook, but I did not want him to fail. His failure would have been the failure of our country. As I watched the Democrats in the audience that night I was astounded by the looks of disgust and hatred even when the positive outcomes were mentioned. When he spoke about the lowest Black and Hispanic unemployment in history they did not applaud and continued the hateful stare. During the continued mentions of success in our country this

continued. Is the hatred of one man so great that these people want our country to fail so that they can feel vindicated? One cannot help but reflect on our city governments in the same way. Watching the cities of Jefferson County operate I have a good feeling about the planned outcomes. Yes, members may disagree ideologically, but most city council members want success no mater who has been elected. Hopefully this feeling will eventually translate into a successful national government as well. Our country cannot thrive the way it should with this continued emotional division.

percent renewable by 2020 for investorowned utilities and 20 percent for cooperative utilities. The renewable sector is not the only energy sector where Colorado is providing leadership. As the state’s population grows, natural gas drilling and exploration are bumping up against urban and suburban residential areas. Of course, Coloradans are concerned about this, and there has been significant progress in this area. In 2014, Colorado adopted rules for capturing methane and decreasing harmful carbon-based pollutants, rules that are now a national model not only in technical specifications but also in collaboration among environmental groups, the oil and gas industry, and regulators. Colorado’s work inspired other states to adopt similar methane standards. We offer to be a resource for the continued leadership in Colorado’s energy future, for policymakers,

west of the Mississippi River drilled into Florence soil in 1860, our state has become one of the top energy producers in the country while valuing our quality of life and environment. This didn’t happen by accident; it was the result of good policy enacted by the legislature, the voters, and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). In 2004, Colorado voters passed the Renewable Energy Requirement Initiative, the first voter-led statewide initiative of its kind. As of 2016, Colorado was ranked 10th in installed solar generation and was the seventh largest wind producing state. We’ve since increased the standard three times, and the current target is 30

companies leading the way, and our fellows Coloradans. Collectively, our group knows the science of solar panels, wind turbines and hydraulic fracturing equally as well as we know the regulatory environment, policy making, and electoral politics. We understand the public safety and national security implications of energy choices. We know the economics of Colorado’s energy industry (renewables, natural gas and fossil fuel), and that it employs over 270,000 of our neighbors and creating nearly $15 billion in economic impact. If energy was a poker game, Colorado has more cards to play than most states. Energy policy is complicated, but oversimplified rhetoric is not the answer. Coloradans are collaborative, innovative and cutting edge. The future of energy policy in our state cannot be a zero-sum game consisting of winners and losers. Let’s solve this evolving and complex issue within

city halls, the capitol, boardrooms and neighborhoods, where ideas can be discussed in transparent and public settings. We can balance economic growth and provide energy in a safe, efficient, affordable and most environmentally and socially sustainable way.

The Denver metro area has been growing at an unparalleled rate over the last few years, and all those new people have a few things in common — one of those things is, they’ve all got to eat. There’s an ever-expanding list of new, exciting restaurants to check out in the metro area (about 240 opened in 2017), and that’s in addition to an already deep bench of top-notch restaurants that longtime residents know about. Zagat recently awarded Denver the number 4 spot on its “Most Exciting Food Cities” As a way to both connect people with restaurants they’ve never tried before and spread the word about the depth and variety of the dining scene, Visit Denver created Denver Restaurant Week 14 years ago. And it’s become one of the most anticipated weeks of the year. “Both diners and restaurants really gear up for this week,”

People with disabilities have options for fitness Facilities aim to improve health of those who face exclusion

WHERE TO GO

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The energy at Pure Barre fitness was running high. Thumping music, grunts of exertion and the smell of sweat filled the air as fitness specialist Briget Russomanno led the workout class. “You can do it,” she said to the class. “Just one more set, let’s keep going!” Groans of protest were mixed with smiles of joy, as she eventually wrapped up the class with a cool-down session. “Wow. This is my new place. I’m coming here again,” said Casey Gunning, 34, who has Down syndrome and attended the exercise class at 5375 Landmark Place in Greenwood Village for the first time. Every client in the class had a disability of some sort, some mental and some physical. Pure Barre is one of the few places in the Denver metro area that offers workout classes for people with disabilities. Owners Briget and Scott Russomanno launched Barre Stars in early 2018 to help combat adult obesity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 36 percent of adults with disabilities are obese, versus 23 percent of adults without disabilities. Obesity can lead to various other health issues, including diabetes and heart disease. The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability says that the 50 million-plus Americans with disabilities, who are at greater risk for developing health problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle, are getting even less physical activity because of the numerous barriers they face in becoming physically active. “For many, they don’t know how or where to exercise,” said Kelly Bonner, an inclusion specialist with NCHPD. “Marketing material is not focused on this minority group, and to be honest, many fitness centers aren’t equipped to work with these individuals so they don’t know where to go that can create a plan that is appropriate for them.” The CDC also recommends that people with disabilities get regular physical activity. But historically, there have been few facilities to meet their needs, as well as various other factors that prevent healthy activity. “So few programs exist that offer safe and effective fitness programming in a way that educates and adapts to the specific needs of these individuals,” said Scott Russomanno. “Parents and caretakers are left to face this challenge alone without a community equipped to serve the health and fitness needs of their children.” Russomanno said attitude plays a big part in a successful fitness plan, and that people with special needs are often told they can’t do certain things.

OBESITY AND DISABILITIES • Obesity rates for adults with disabilities are approximately 57 percent higher than among adults without disabilities, which means about 36 percent of adults with disabilities are obese, compared with 23 percent of adults without disabilities. • In children with disabilities, obesity rates are approximately 38 percent higher than for children without disabilities, or 22 percent of children with disabilities are obese, compared to 16 percent of children without disabilities.

HOW EXERCISE HELPS Benefits of physical activity for people with disabilities include: • Improved cardiovascular fitness • Improved muscle fitness • Improved mental health • A better ability to do tasks of daily life Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “They’re either told they can’t, or assume they can’t be active,” he said. “The truth is, everyone can do a little something that’s good for them, and we are here to help them achieve what they can.” Trevor Wicken and his wife Misty, owners of RISE Movement Solutions in Englewood, have spent more than 10 years helping people stay physically active after becoming disabled or being diagnosed with a life-long condition, such as multiple sclerosis. According to Wicken, many people who are diagnosed with a disorder or receive an injury are prescribed a period of physical therapy that is helpful, but doesn’t foster an attitude of staying healthy after receiving a diagnosis. A regular fitness plan that fits into the new “normal” of their lives is seldom addressed by physicians. “A lot of times when they come to us, they’ve been told that nothing else can be done,” said Trevor Wicken, who began the medical fitness train-

Wicken said his goal is to bridge the gap between medical and fitness needs, and figure out the next steps after physical therapy. He works with clients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, strokes, osteoarthritis and brain injuries, and said attitude and accessibility are two barriers to fitness for those who have a disability or an injury. “General fitness plans don’t work for people with disabilities. They try to work out and get hurt, or never feel better or get better,” said Wicken. “Or they’re told they’re broken and just fall into a pattern of unhealthy habits. We’re intensely passionate about helping them feel better, because they are more than their disease.” Training sessions, such as those Wicken offers, are not always covered by insurance and are seldom promoted by health-care professionals. While Wicken does not accept insurance, clients can submit claims to their insurance providers for possible reimbursement. For those who attended the class at Pure Barre, getting physical was not only good for them, but they had a good time doing it. Dana Stehno, of Englewood, brought her 17-year-old son Luke to the workout class, and said it was a great experience and she hopes he will continue to attend.

Here are some of the facilities in the Denver area that provide physical fitness classes and activities for people with disabilities. • Metropolitan State University of Denver offers a variety of adaptive fitness programs that provide a safe, fun workout for people with disabilities. Classes are held at the Auraria Campus, 1198 11th St., Denver; more information: msudenver.edu/campusrec/ adaptivefitness/ • Denver Parks and Recreation has several programs and classes for people of all ages with disabilities of all ages. Programs are held throughout the Denver area; more information: www.denvergov.org/ content/denvergov/en/denver-parks-andrecreation/activities-programs/adaptiverecreation.html • The Thrive Center is a community resource center that provides parents with information on adaptive fitness programs at several locations along the Front Range for parents of children with disabilities; more information: www.thrivectr.org/disabilityrecreation-resources/ • RISE Movement Solutions, 750 West Hampden, Suite 200, Englewood, oﬀers medical fitness classes to help people with disabilities, injuries or recently diagnosed conditions; more information: www.facebook. com/TheMSGym/ • Pure Barre Fitness, 5375 Landmark Place, Suite 109, Greenwood Village, hosts workout classes for adults with disabilities through the Barre Stars program; more information: http://purebarre.com/codenver-greenwoodvillage/ “He never really wants to do anything like this. He’s apprehensive and not sure he can do what everybody else does,” Stehno said. “This is a nonintimidating environment and we’ll be back.

Jeffco Platoon starts detailing 50th reunion Vietnam vets aim to reunite on June 30 BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For a variety of reasons, many Vietnam veterans were reluctant to speak about their experiences in the controversial war. Many did not receive the warm welcome that veterans of previous wars did. Which is why the reunion efforts of the Jefferson County Platoon, spearheaded by Lakewood residents Joe Sleevi and Donald Emmot, are so important to the about 45 members of the platoon. “They deserve to come together and be celebrated,” Sleevi said. “For most of them, this will be the first real

welcome home they received.” Members of the platoon were sworn in together on June 28, 1968, and that’s why the pair wanted to host a 50-year get together for as many members of the platoon as possible on June 30. Through word of mouth, social media and the internet, Sleevi and Emmot, who were both platoon sergeants during basic training, worked to find the other platoon members to invite them and their families for the reunion. “So far, we’ve found all but two of the members,” Emmot said. “We’re not sure yet how many of them will want to actually come to the event, but we’ve had the chance to reconnect with a lot of these guys who we haven’t seen in 50 years.” Based on the information the pair have found, 38 members of the platoon are still living, and six have died. Only about five of the members moved out

of Colorado, Sleevi said. The rest scattered across the state. “I first heard about the reunion efforts through a friend from the time, who I actually joined the platoon with,” said Ron Rickard, who now lives down by Chatfield Reservoir. “I was surprised when I heard about it, because I’d never given that time much of a second thought.” Now that the bulk of the platoon members have been contacted, Sleevi and Emmot have moved on to planning the actual reunion. They’re still working on locations for a lunch and memorial bench dedication ceremony, and then perhaps a small dinner, just for platoon members and their families. “Right now, our big concern is raising money to help pay for the memorial bench and for the meals for all

the veterans who will be attending,” Sleevi said. “We’re trying to work with organizations and private residents to give these soldiers a fitting celebration.” As part of the planning for the reunion, Sleevi and Emmot reached out to local organizations and legislators like Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat in Colorado’s 7th District, for any help they can provide. The Jefferson County Platoon was unique, Sleevi and Emmot explained, because its members were allowed to join in the buddy system, which meant they would stay together all the way through basic training in Fort Bliss, Texas. Students from many Jeffco high schools were part of the platoon, and it gained some media attention at the time due to the fact it was made up entirely of county students. Sleevi remembers a big celebration with a congressman when the oath of enlistment was taken at the Westland Center. “After basic, we all went to separate divisions and locations, so we didn’t really stay in touch with each other afterward,” Rickard said. “I could’ve walked past most of these guys on the street, and wouldn’t have recognized them. But I’ve often wondered what happened to these guys.” G In a way, the reunion is a way to celebrate the different lives and expe- n riences of the members of the platoon a after their time in the service. “This is a unique opportunity for all n of us to get together and learn about M where our lives took us,” Sleevi said. “At the time, we were such kids, I don’t n a know how much we thought about what the other people were going n through. Now, we have a chance to M meet each other as people.”

Sunday March 25 12 - 4 p.m. Golden library staff gather around Bud and Kelley Rockhill, seated, during a bench dedication on Feb. 2 to commemorate their dog Mattie’s service to PAWS for Reading at the Golden Library. PAWS for Reading is a program that allows children to read aloud to a therapy animal to improve reading and communication skills. The Rockhills were involved with the program in California prior to their move to Golden, and were bringing Mattie, a Bernese mountain dog, to do it at the Golden Library for about two years before she died. It’s a great program, said Kelley Rockhill, adding that it makes a difference in the children — especially because it builds confidence. “Dogs will never judge,” she said. CHRISTY STEADMAN

Gathering for Gumm, thousands honor fallen deputy Mourners line streets, pack Lafayette church BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams County deputies were joined by law enforcement officers from across the state and thousands of well-wishers Feb. 2 to say goodbye to Sheriff ’s Deputy Heath Gumm, a man described as a witty prankster with a promising career in law enforcement. “One of the things that we are responsible for as police officers is to be able to combine the care and compassion of the guardian mindset with the warrior mindset,” Adams County Sheriff Michael McIntosh said to a huge crowd gathered for Gumm’s memorial service in Lafayette’s Flatirons Community Church. “I can’t think of somebody that taught us to do that better than Heath.” McIntosh was one of six current and former Adams County Sheriffs Office staff members to eulogize Gumm, 31, who was shot and killed by a suspect Jan. 24 in a backyard near the 8700 block of Edison Street in unincorporated Adams County. They recalled his playful nature, his guidance for new deputies, his seriousness for the job and his love for his wife, Natasha. Law enforcement, fire and emergen-

SHANNA FORTIER cy response personnel from around Colorado attended the service in the 4,600-seat church. The entire first floor of the venue was nearly filled and the balcony nearly half-filled. Gumm’s father, former West Metro Firefighter Jim Gumm, said he was proud to have such an honest, forthright son. Thousands of emergency vehicles from across Colorado came, filling the event parking lot. They were joined by five charter buses full of Adams County employees who attended the service

“We always tried to instill in you the values of honesty, integrity, strength and compassion,” the elder Gumm said. “But somewhere along the way, the student became the teacher. You soared high above us in all those aspects in life and you’ve always made us so proud.” He also read letters from Gumm’s wife and the fallen deputy’s mother, Becky. Gumm earned a black belt in taekwondo growing up, loved cherry sour ball candy, popcorn, the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and other car-

toon heroes, as well as real-life ones. “Heath knew he could usually get himself out of trouble by being cute and funny,” his father said. “He loved animals, loved hiding things in his grandmother’s hair without her knowing, teasing his sister at every turn and practicing ‘takedowns’ on his mom.” Gumm joined the Adams County Sheriffs Office in 2012, transferring in from the Cripple Creek Police Department. He started in the Adams County Detention Facility but transferred into the patrol division in 2013. Friend and fellow patrol Deputy Lonn Trail said he wasn’t finished. “He was looking forward later this year to promoting to senior deputy and when he made senior deputy, he had a plan,” Trail said. “He wanted to test for detective, and he told me he wanted to be part of the bomb squad because a lot of his friends, standing behind me today, had already transferred in.” Trail said he’d known Gumm for five years and counted him as one of his best friends. Trail, a member of the Adams County K9 unit, said he once confided in Gumm, telling him the command he used to make his dog Lex bark — loudly. From then on, Gumm never missed an opportunity to command the dog to bark right in Trail’s ear, usually while they were in parked in their patrol SEE DEPUTY, P25

Thousands cheer, wave in support of fallen deputy Flags, signs, horses and motorcycles crowd procession’s path BY SCOTT TAYLOR AND SHANNA FORTIER STAFF WRITERS

Outside of Deputy Heath Gumm’s funeral service on Feb, 2, thousands gathered to honor the fallen officer, starting at the several overpasses facing Interstate 25 between 104th Avenue and Highway 7 in Erie. Many waved and cheered as Gumm’s funeral procession passed. It met up with an escort from hundreds of motorcycle officers, who led it up Highway 7 east into Lafayette and followed by an estimated 2,000 police and emergency response vehicles from around the state. In Lafayette, the procession turned south to South Boulder Road for the final approach to the Flatiron’s Community Church. Thousands more lined the road beginning at 8 a.m., waving flags and signs in support of Gumm and police officers. That included members of the Colorado

State Sheriffs Posse Association, a team of mounted police on horseback from across the state. Posse member Brett Bailey, an Adams County deputy, said he has ridden with the group for 25 years. Many were civilians who wanted to show their support for the police. Gloria Grosso of Aurora said she wishes could have stopped the procession to hug every police officer in it. “They leave their families to take care of our families,” Grosso said. “We just want them to know we appreciate everything they do. And with everything happening to them, there is not enough we can do to support them.” Others have family members who work as police officers. “My husband is a police officer so we’re just here trying to show support,” said Krista Watts. Lennon Briggs, 10, Northglenn, said it hits close to home for him. “My dad’s a cop and it’s hard to think about if this would happen to him,” Briggs said. “I really just want to support everyone.” Gabriella Fallon, 22, an office manager from Longmont, agreed. “My boyfriend is a police officer in Colorado Springs, so it hits home for

For Joe Duran, 67, Thornton, who is retired from the U.S. Postal Service, it’s a matter of patriotism. “I served in the military,” Duran said. “My dad was a police sheriff in Colorado when I was younger and it just impressed me. I served in Vietnam and when I came back home, I’ve always been a patriot.”

cars waiting for a call for service. “He never failed. When we were done with our conversation and I had my window down, Heath would get Lex’s attention, work in the bark command and make him go crazy,” Trail said. “Then, he’d laugh and roll up his window so he didn’t have to hear it.” Another friend, Deputy Cole Cockrum, said he looked to Gumm for guidance. “He had an amazing sense of humor, was easygoing and always willing to help,” Cockrum said. He recalled that once, soon after Cockrum had joined the Adams County office, he and Gumm found themselves chasing someone in the dark. Cockrum lost sight of both Gumm and the man he was chasing but did find Gumm’s flashlight and it was pointing directly to where Gumm had gone. Cockrum said he was amazed and impressed that Gumm had left the flashlight as a clue to where he had gone. “I said to myself, this cop is so squared away he is leaving me breadcrumbs,” Cockrum said. He didn’t tell Gumm how impressed he was until days later. “He told me wasn’t leaving breadcrumbs,” Cockrum said. “He said he was running so hard he tripped over himself, fell to the ground and his entire duty belt exploded. He said that what I didn’t see was the radio and pistol magazines that were about five feet away from where the flashlight was.” Deputy Casey Overton, Gumm’s sergeant, said he looked at Gumm as a leader among patrol deputies. “I was able to put anyone with him

So McIntosh said he would give Gumm a posthumous promotion to detective. “When I have the honor of giving you Heath’s badge, I will also give you an honorary detective badge,” McIntosh said to Gumm’s family. “He will forever be in our hearts and on our minds. He will forever be with his shift and now, also, he will be forever with you detectives that worked so hard to make sure this case goes where it needs to go.”

My funny Valentine’s Day dilemma

K guys — Yes, I mean guys, men, fellows, dudes, whatever. You know who you are. Listen up. Valentine’s Day is this coming Wednesday, Feb. 14. Write it on your hand or something. Go shopping for a present this weekend. Whatever you do, AVENUE don’t forget about FLASHES it. If you think that goofy groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil is a prediction of what the weather is going to be like for a while, I’ve got news for you. If you forget Valentine’s Day, the weather is going to be pretty stormy in John Akal your relationship for the next six months. Now, for those of you who are single, and don’t have a romance going, Feb. 15th marks the day when it’s safe to start dating again. Why? Because from Christmas through Valentine’s Day it gets kind of awkward to by gifts and sign cards for someone you like a lot, aren’t in love with yet but don’t want to either jump the gun and say “I love you” too soon or look like an uncaring

cheapskate with a token gift. I guess you could just sign a card with “I really like you but I don’t know if you are a psycho or not yet.” Unless your love interest has a really good sense of humor, that’s probably not going to be a big hit. Ah, yes. Even though I am in a very happy relationship with my wife, there was a time … a long time … when I was a single guy on the prowl, dating or involved with lots of people and I pretty much became an expert on either dealing with or dodging Valentine’s Day through years of good and bad experiences. The worst was one where I took a new love interest out for a nice lunch at one of her favorite restaurants and we exchanged some gifts and cards. She got me a heart shaped box filled with Hershey’s Kisses and a sort of romantic card just signed with her name. Then after I paid the $75 lunch bill, she told me she didn’t think we should keep seeing each other and broke up with me. Yes, that was weird and awkward. Yes, I kept the gift and ate the candy. I’m not quite sure why. But hey … chocolate is chocolate. Now, sometimes knowledge is key but other times ignorance is bliss. When I write this column I like to add

a little something extra about holidays or key figures involved, things like a bit of history. So, I looked up the history of Valentine’s Day and why it was on Feb. 14. I was expecting some kind of love story or some fable involving little Cupids and arrows. Turns out it’s on that date because some Roman Emperor executed two guys, coincidentally named Valentine, but in different years. It also has to do with the Roman feast of Lupercalia which was kind of a bizarre fertility celebration 2000 years ago that was a rather extreme version of what Romans were famous for back then. Let’s just leave it at if that kind of thing happened nowadays, people would be going to prison. So much for adding a bit of history to enhance the romantic spirit of the occasion. So, here’s a couple of tips for having a successful Valentine’s Day. First, know what your partner likes and go there. When choosing a gift, go for what someone likes, not what someone needs. I have a good musician friend who had a girlfriend that played guitar and her amp was broken. For Valentine’s Day he fixed her amp. They aren’t together anymore. The second tip is always the option of going out to someplace special for

an incredible romantic dinner. Right here in Golden there are a couple of places that have rather spectacular offerings for the day. The Bridgewater Grill in the Golden Hotel has a special three course dinner with lots of fun extras like chocolate covered strawberries. Yes, I’ve seen those movies. This will be available from Feb. 10-14 and runs $58 per person or $69 with a wine pairing. Go to www.bridgewatergrill.com or call (303) 279-2010 for reservations. The second one is at Schnepf ’s Restaurant at Fossil Trace who are offering their terrific five course dinner on Feb. 14 that even comes with a complimentary Prosseco toast and runs $50 per person. No, I have no idea what Prosseco is but it sounds classy. Probably some kind of Champagne thing. You can find out more about that at www.hospitalitymanagementsource.com or by calling (303) 277-8756 for reservations.

But swimmers and divers will not be alone in being OVERTIME crowned champions this weekend. The Colorado High School Bowling Foundation’s team and individual state championships are Feb. 10-11 at Belleview Lanes, 4900 S. Federal Blvd., Englewood. Jim Benton Bowling is not sanctioned by the Colorado High School Activities Association, but 51 teams in five conferences and 287 bowlers compete during the season. It costs each bowler $60 for the 10-week season and sponsors are obtained to help with team fees. At the state tournament, scholarship money is awarded through the United States Bowling Congress’ SMART accounts. Bowlers on the top five teams, plus the leading five boys and girls individual finishers, earn scholarship awards. The boy and girl with the top averages will also get a scholarship award. James Hastings, of the Doherty Spartans Blue, had the season’s top average for the boys of 221, while Luna Ramirez of the Wheat Ridge coteam team and Hannah Perry of the Falcon Falcons 1 shared the best girls average of 185.

There are 16 teams from the Colorado Springs area and 13 from Grand Junction. Many of the teams are affiliated with schools and some teams are co-op, drawing bowlers from different schools. “We are struggling in the Denver area,” CHSBF President Victor Holt said. “Kids don’t think of it as a sport. One thing we are trying to do for next year is get a teacher at each school that is willing to start up a bowling club.” SEE BENTON, P32

Divers navigate twists and turns Athletes control their bodies, use their heads in unique ways BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Most high schools and colleges combine swimming and diving into one sport, and they are part of the same meets. But in reality, the two are more different than the same. “Truly, the only thing we have in common with swimmers is chlorinated water,” Arapahoe dive coach Jeff Smith said. “We are entirely separate sports.” Swimmers perform certain strokes and the athlete with the fastest time is the winner. Divers, meanwhile, have a set of dives with degrees of difficulty and are awarded scores by judges. “Swimmers have more patience,” said Susan Welch, an assistant diving coach who works with the teams in the Adams 12 Five Star district. “Divers have to face their fears more often.” Divers usually have separate practices and different coaches than athletes on the swim team. Divers often appear like placekickers in football, off to the side. “Outside of high school, diving is really a separate sport from swimming,” said Cherry Creek dive coach Grant Robinson. “It depends on the program. At Cherry Creek, we like to incorporate the team unity between the two different sports.” For divers, as with football kickers, there is also a high degree of pressure to perform. “Swimmers are better known, they

have more events,” said Ralston Valley freshman Izzy Gregersen, one of the state’s top divers. “We get like one time.” The pressure is not just to score well, but also to not get injured. “Out of all the sports, when you are sinking a last-second free throw or kicking a field goal, there is no risk involved in some of those activities,” Ralston Valley diving coach Kevin Sage said. “In diving, you can really mess yourself up if you lose your awareness of where you are at, you can really do some damage. It’s the same way with gymnastics.” Flipping the script The divers in Class 5A with the five highest scores so far this season

Ralston Valley freshman Izzy Gregersen has been diving for five years and is on a team with many inexperienced divers that are not club divers. “I don’t coach them but I really try to encourage them,” she said. COURTESY PHOTO are all former gymnasts. They are sophomore Ally Brown, who competes for Horizon; junior Franny Cable, of Arapahoe; senior Sam Tamborski, of the Douglas County/Castle View team; Gregersen; and sophomore Addie Perlmutter, of Cherry Creek. Many of the twists, turns and tucks of diving relate to gymnastics, but they do require some adjustments. “What it takes to be a good diver is you have to have good balance and be a little bit crazy,” Smith said. “You have to be a little crazy to go up there spinning, have good kinesthetic awareness to where you are upside down and twisting in the air. You have to know where your body is, as well as where every part of your body is, so you can manipulate it properly in

order to execute a good dive.” Perlmutter said diving “corresponds” to gymnastics, but there is at least one big difference. “You have to land on your head (in diving),” she said. “It took me a few months, but there are some things where I still have my old gymnastics habits. It took a few months to get used to landing on my head.” In top form The proper mechanics and mental approach are crucial in diving. Cable has set numerous school and pool diving records this season.

Valor edges Golden in top-10 girls basketball match-up BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — The reality was simple Feb. 2 at Golden High School. The loser of the Class 4A Jeffco League showdown between Golden and Valor Christian — both ranked in the top-10 of CHSAANow. com 4A girls basketball poll — would have an uphill battle to win the conference title. The winner on the other hand would still cling to hope of catching the Cougars (16-2, 9-1 in league) in the league standings. No. 7 Valor stayed in the hunt for the conference crown with a 43-42 road victory at No. 6 Golden. The chances of the Demons successfully defending their league title from last year might have been extinguished. “That was a great hardfought game by both teams,” Valor coach Jessika Caldwell said. “Golden is super talented with some incredible players. I’m really proud of our kids. They dug their heels in and made some big shots and got some big stops.” The Eagles (15-4, 8-2 in leagues) were able to sweep the season series against the Demons with the win. Golden (16-3, 7-3) suffered a 55-53 loss to Valor on the Eagles’ home

court just more than three weeks ago in their first conference meeting. Valor — 4A state champions in 2015 and 2016 — did pay a price in the victory over the Demons back on Jan. 10. Freshman sensation Kindyll Wetta suffered a seasonending knee injury. Wetta was averaging 13.4 points, 6.1 rebound, 5 steals and 4.8 steal per game through her first dozen games of her prep basketball career. “We have four incredible seniors in the program,” Caldwell said of her team that is 5-2 since the loss of Wetta. “They said we are going to put our heads down and continue to play.” Valor’s ability to shoot the 3-pointer successfully and take care of the ball in the closing minutes were key. Junior Sara Nealy was a perfect 3-for-3 from long distance for the Eagles on her way to a team-high 13 points. “My teammates executed the plays well,” said Nealy, who had a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left in the third quarter that gave the Eagles the lead for good. “That’s the only reason why I got those open shots.” Golden was led by senior Makena Prey. The 6-foot senior had 20 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.

“It really makes us come back and focus on what we are missing,” Prey said. “We aren’t moving as well on offense as we could be and our help defense isn’t where it should be. We are going to bring those to our next practice to get ready for our next big game.” Prey hit a 3-pointer with less than a second to play to cut the Eagles’ lead to 1-point, but there wasn’t enough time for the Demons to complete the comeback. Golden and Valor both get another shot against Evergreen. The Cougars took down the Demons and Eagles in their first league meetings to grab the 2-game cushion. Evergreen hosts Valor on Feb. 13 and Golden on Feb. 15. The Cougars did stumble on Saturday, Feb. 3, with a surprising 56-51 league loss to Littleton (10-9, 3-7) “Evergreen is obviously going to be a really big game, but we’ve got to focus on one game at a time,” Nealy said. “We’ve got to prepare well for D’Evelyn next week.” The Jaguars (12-6, 5-4) beat Valor 59-52 back on Jan. 12. Valor hosts D’Evelyn and Wheat Ridge this week. Golden is on the road this week against Standley Lake and Littleton.

man year, took a beginning diving class and has developed into one of best divers in the state. “It took me a long time to get the concept of landing on my head,” said Cable. “There is always room for major improvements. There’s always room for new dives.” Tamborski concedes it takes time to become a good diver and master the mental side of the sport. “You have to have drive, really want to work hard to get good and listen to your coach,” she said. “It takes a long time to learn. I’ve been diving for five years. I still have more things to learn. “It is absolutely a mental game. You really have to focus if you mess up a dive or it didn’t go the way you wanted. You have to focus and do better so you can make up for it.” Divers’ abilities and fearlessness garner them the appreciation of their teammates. Delaney Smith, no relation to coach Smith, is a senior swimmer at Arapahoe. She has committed to swim at UCLA and admits it has taken her a while to appreciate diving. “I don’t understand how they twist in the air,” she said. “I’ve basically only seen diving in high school.

The 2016-17 National Federation of State High School Associations’ participation report showed there were 2,835 boys teams with 30,054 bowlers and 2,821 girls teams with 26,588 participants. The total number of high school bowlers was 56,642. There are 24 states that sanction boys bowling, while girls bowling is certified in 27 states. All in the family McKay Vansickle and her younger sister Avery were going one-on-one on Jan. 30, but it wasn’t like it used to be in the backyard of their Castle Rock home. The sisters played against each other in a key Continental League basketball game in the Castle View gym, and at times they were matched against each other. McKay is a 5-foot-7 senior at Castle View, who has committed to play next season at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Avery is 5-10 freshman who plays for Regis Jesuit and has already drawn interest from schools like North Carolina. The sisters would sometimes exchange a brief word, and their parents, Brian and Tami, were able to watch both sisters play a high school game at the same time. “We were laughing about shots and

things,” McKay said. “Our parents were sitting up high and we would look at them at times.” Regis won 49-39. Avery scored a game-high 17 points, while McKay tallied 6 points. The sisters, who both wear No. 11, were starters. McKay is averaging 8.8 points a game and Avery 9.4 ppg.

With early start this season, flu hammers much of nation Experts unsure why strain similar to last year’s is hitting so many people BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES GUIDE

Sick with the flu? You’ve got a lot of company. The flu has continued to blanket the U.S., with only Hawaii being spared. In late January, one in 15 doctor visits were for symptoms of the flu. That’s the highest level since the swine flu pandemic in 2009. The government doesn’t track every flu case but comes up with estimates; one measure is how many people seek medical care for fever, cough, aches and other flu symptoms. Flu is widespread, with 39 states reporting high traffic to doctors in late January, up from 32. At this rate, by the end of the season somewhere around 34 million Americans will have gotten sick from the flu, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Jan. 26. Some good news: Hospital stays and deaths from the flu among the elderly so far haven’t been as high as in some other recent flu seasons. However, hospitalization rates for people 50 to 64 — baby boomers, mostly — has been unusually high, CDC officials said in the report, which covers the week ending Jan. 20. A New York pediatrician said her office has been busy but the kids with the flu haven’t been quite as sick as in the past. “For most of them, their symptoms are milder,” said Dr. Tiffany Knipe.

This year’s flu shot targets the strains that are making Americans sick, mostly the H3N2 flu virus. But exactly how well it is working won’t be known until next month. It’s the same main bug from last winter, when the flu season wasn’t so bad. It’s not clear why this season — with the same bug — is worse, some experts said. “That’s the kicker. This virus really doesn’t look that different from what we saw last year,” said Richard Webby, a flu researcher at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. It may be that many of the people getting sick this year managed to avoid infection last year. Or there may be some change in the virus that hasn’t been detected yet, said the CDC’s Dr. Dan Jernigan, in a call with reporters. Based on patterns from past seasons, it’s likely the flu season will start to wane soon, experts say. There are some places, like California, where the season already seems to be easing, CDC officials said. “If I was a betting man, I’d put money on it going down,” Webby said. “But I’ve lost money on bets before.” The season usually peaks in February, but this season started early and took off in December. Flu is a contagious respiratory illness. It can cause a miserable but relatively mild illness in many people, but more a more severe illness in others. Young children and the elderly are at greatest risk from flu and its complications. In a bad season, there are as many as 56,000 deaths connected to the flu. In the U.S., annual flu shots are recommended for everyone age 6 months or older. Last season, about 47 percent of Americans got vaccinated, accord-

ing to CDC figures. Jennifer Manton didn’t get a flu shot and got sick about three weeks ago, hit by high fever and body aches. She missed two days of work at a New

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
