Living with marijuana next door A new ordinance aims to reduce number of plants allowed for home growth
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The home in the orderly Kentley Hills subdivision of Highlands Ranch — where the average sales price is $587,000 — looks like many others on the street, except for a few details: There are rarely cars in the driveway.
On garbage day, no trashcans are set out. The grass in the front yard is browning. Trucks visit in the middle of the night. And a smell of marijuana seeps from the house on Bentwood Circle into the neighborhood. “It’s unbearable,” said James, a neighbor who asked that his last name not be used because he said he fears for his family’s safety. “For my kids, it’s uncomfortable to play outside.” The home — about a half mile
from Heritage Elementary School — was reported to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in April because of the continuous odor and traffic in and out of the house. It is one of 20 homes in Douglas County reported to the sheriff’s office during the first five months of 2016 for complaints related to marijuana cultivation. “We have this going on in all parts of Douglas County — they aren’t confined to one area,” said Chief Deputy Steve Johnson of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

C-470 corridor in Highlands Ranch booming County planned for business expansion, residential development in area By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Brian Brewster, owner of NoNo’s Café, a Cajun-style restaurant on the north side of C-470 off West County Line Road, is preparing for an increase in business. He opened his restaurant about 10 years ago when the only other businesses in the area were Harley Davidson and Hampton Inn & Suites. There’s now multi-family
housing, a self-storage facility and an event center being built within walking distance. “Any kind of traffic is good,” he said. “We are excited for what this could do to business.” The mile-long corridor that straddles C-470 between Sante Fe Drive and Lucent Boulevard is booming. On the south side of the state highway near Lucent — adjacent to Plaza Drive — will be 285 apartments in a multi-family housing project called Solana. On the north side is the renovation of the existing Mike Ward car dealership. C-470 continues on Page 27
After being seizure-free for several years, 14-year old Benjamin Wann began suffering again last Thanksgiving Day. He subsequently had four more seizures in 14 days. Doctors, his mother said, wanted to put him back on powerful pharmaceutical drugs to treat his epilepsy. With her son soon to begin high school, Amber Wann hesitated to put Benjamin on drugs that included dangerous side effects like depression and suicidal tendencies. Instead, she turned to medical cannabis— specifically the non-psychoactive hemp oil extract called Charlotte’s Web. Students continues on Page 5

My summer job After the last big hailstorm, my family’s screens were damaged. We were going to take them to the hardware store but they said it would take four months to fix, so I decided I would give it a try. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, so I decided to make it a summer job for myself. I started going door to door and asking people. There was a lot of interest. How it works I go out on the weekends and knock on doors. Usually within a day or two I’ll get a call to come pick up some window screens. I repair the screens over the following week and then return them. For my window screens, cost de-
pends on size. Smaller screens are $10; larger ones are $15 to $20. It’s cheaper than the hardware stores and I still get a pretty good profit —so it’s a good deal. To fix the screens, I buy the parts online. I set up a little workshop in my backyard where I put it all together. The labor isn’t that intensive — it’s more about precision. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes per screen. My customers are happy with my work. They are glad they don’t have to go through the hardware store experience. And they can contact me whenever. I love… My Chihuahua. Her name is Fiona. Her teeth are all messed up, but she’s one of the most fun things in my life. She comes in my room every morning and jumps on my bed. She wakes me up so I can start fixing screens. If you have suggestions for My Name Is..., contact Alex DeWind at adewind@ coloradocommunitymedia.com
Erica Bullock-Jones calls herself a faithful Democrat. She’s voted in every election since her 18th birthday. At the Democratic county convention on March 19, Bullock-Jones won the majority vote out of five delegates vying for Douglas County Commissioner District 3, which covers Highlands Ranch. In November, she will face Republican Lora Thomas in the general election, an uphill battle in a county where Republicans outnumber Democrats more than 2-to-1. As of July 25, 47,434 Douglas County residents were registered as Democrats; 107,410 as Republicans; and 78,085 as other. Still, said Bette Davis, political campaign chair of the Douglas County Democrats, “Democrats continue to put out great candidates, like Erica BullockJones, who would not only offer a diverse perspective but would also represent others in the community — not just those who share the same political ideology.” If elected, Bullock-Jones, 44, said she would prioritize the county’s budget, traffic congestion, water conservation and growth management. “You need people who understand being fiscally responsible for a large sum of money,” she said, “and to understand day-to-day concerns for residents like traffic infrastructure, water and snow removal.” Born and raised in the Los Angeles
“
suburb of Duarte, California, BullockJones received a degree in hotel administration from Cornell University and traveled around the country working as a hotel appraiser for many years. She then completed law school at the University of California at Berkeley. Though she doesn’t practice law, going to Bullock-Jones law school was the biggest — and best — decision she’s made, Bullock-Jones said. “I’ve used my experience in every position I’ve had,” she said. “Being a lawyer is being an advocate.” Bullock-Jones and her husband, Sekou, moved to Denver in 2010 and Highlands Ranch in 2013. Their 11-yearold twins, Miles and Natalie, attend Roxborough Intermediate. Bullock-Jones was the program manager for workforce training at Arapahoe Community College’s Parker campus for more than five years, where she said she learned about curriculum, contracts, grants and government administration. “It was my job to go out and talk to business owners,” she said. “That’s when I learned a lot about Douglas County, the economy, what works and what doesn’t.” She’s now the program administrator of business development at Holland & Hart LLP, a Colorado-based law firm in downtown Denver with more than 200 attorneys in the area. All her varied experience has prepared her to be a county commissioner, Bullock-Jones said. “I’m collaborative by nature,” she said. “I love to work with others.”
I’ve used my experience in every position I’ve had.”

Freedom, safety steer helmet debate Fatality stats not enough to sway some riders By Tom Skelley tskelley@colorado communitymedia.com Brahm Bechtold rides a Harley-Davidson cruiser, a bike he says is made for taking it easy and enjoying the scenery. He and his wife and passenger, Dagmar, say new motorcyclists should wear helmets, but they feel safe without them because they take it slow. “The wind’s in your hair, you’re having fun and just kind of putting along. It’s nothing fast, no tight turns, it’s a lot slower, just enjoying the scenery,” said Bechtold, a Lone Tree resident who has been riding for 20 years. “I’m not looking to cut those corners or do that high acceleration.” In Colorado, where adults are not legally required to wear a helmet, emotions over whether to do so are riding high on both sides as the number of motorcyclist deaths increases. Those who wear them cite safety, while riders who don’t say it’s a matter of personal freedom. “You should definitely wear a helmet, but I don’t,” Bechtold said. “It’s my personal choice.” But the Bechtolds also know firsthand the risks of riding. Brahm Bechtold said a friend died about two years ago on her motorcycle when a car hit her from behind and she was thrown from the bike. He doesn’t think she was wearing a helmet. Head injury is the leading cause of death for motorcyclists, and nearly twothirds of the motorcyclists killed statewide in 2014 were not wearing a helmet, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. ‘Riskier to be on two wheels’ Helmets are nearly 40 percent effective in preventing motorcycle-crash deaths, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. But they are not mandatory gear for adults in most of the country. State law specifies that only riders 17 and younger are required to wear helmets, making Colorado one of 28 states with an

All riders must wear helmets in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Only three states — Illinois, Iowa and New Hampshire — have no helmet requirements at all. Motorcycle accident fatalities in the state have increased sharply in the last three years. According to CDOT, an all-time high of 105 people died in motorcycle crashes in 2015, up 11.7 percent from 2014 and 20 percent higher than 2013. The 2015 data is preliminary and it’s not entirely clear why fatalities are up, but it’s likely that
impaired driving, speeding and not wearing a helmet are factors, a CDOT spokesman said. To this point in 2016, there have been 58 motorcycle-crash deaths — including at least three in the south metro area — in Colorado, up 14 percent from this time in 2015, CDOT announced July 22. Of those killed, 34 were not wearing helmets. Russ Rader, spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, says helmets can make a difference in preventing many motorcycle-crash deaths.
“It’s riskier to be on two wheels than on four,” Rader said. “Wearing a helmet is the single most important thing a rider can do to reduce their risk of serious head injury or death in a crash. Helmets are very effective in preventing death.” Chris Kozuch, of Castle Rock, agrees with Rader. Kozuch is a motorcycle patrolman and leads the accident reconstruction team for the Parker Police Department. He rides Helmets continues on Page 36

Students
ABOUT THE POLICY Cannabis A student’s primary caregiver (parent, guardian or medical professional) may administer medical marijuana on school property, at a school-sponsored event, or on a school bus, in a non-smokeable form (these include oils administered through an eye dropper, wearable patches and tinctures) to the student who possesses a valid recommendation for medical marijuana.
Continued from Page 1
But when Wann and her husband, Brad, were reported to Child Protective Services on suspicion of abuse and neglect — after informing a school nurse Benjamin was using the extract — Wann began her campaign for a school policy to manage treatment for students using medical marijuana just as transparently as any other medical treatment would be handled. In July, that fight paid off. The Douglas Country Board of Education approved 6-0 on July 19 a policy aligned with state law that allows the administration of medical marijuana products, hemp oils and other cannabinoid products to qualified students on district property. “It opens the door for parents to no longer hide from any form of cannabis as medicine for students, pitting nurses against families or vice versa,” Wann said. The district estimates it has fewer than 40 students — out of its more than 67,000 — who will fall under the policy, which takes effect this school year, Health and Wellness Director Lisa Kantor said. Benjamin briefly addressed the board before the vote, thanking the community for its support and saying he “looked forward to starting high school in a few weeks with new hope.” “Our family has attended meetings, educated the district and we were heard,” said Wann, who credited Silverthorn, who was not at the July 19 meeting, and Vice President Judith Reynolds for helping to make the policy a reality. Board member David Ray complimented the Wann family, who live in Highlands Ranch, for their perseverance. “I’m really grateful that you have put a face to this issue,” Ray said. According to the policy, “a student’s primary caregiver (parent, guardian or medical professional) may administer medical marijuana on school property, at a school-sponsored event or on a school bus in a non-smokeable form to a student who posseses a valid recommendation for medical marijuana.” The parent or guardian will be solely responsible for providing the marijuana and written documentation describing the product, its administration and releasing the school from any liability, the policy says. This documentation will be kept as part of the student’s medical records. “It’s a good and appropriate thing,” Reynolds said. “And it gives everyone involved with these kinds of issues in our community the things that they are looking for and the protections that they need, so that our students can be in school and hopefully be more healthy.” In June, the governor signed House
The parent or guardian shall be solely responsible for providing the non-smokeable medical marijuana. The parent or guardian shall provide a written statement from the student’s physician specifically describing the product and method of administration, and releasing the school and district from any and all legal liability. This statement shall be maintained with the student’s school medical records.
Benjamin Wann, who has epilepsy, has been seizure-free since using Charlotte’s Web. Courtesy photo Bill 1373 into law, which states that school districts must provide reasonable accommodation for students who require medical cannabis. It also prohibits districts from disciplining students for being part of the state’s medical marijuana program. The bill received support from 91 out of 100 legislators at the state Capitol. The DCSD policy closely follows the new state law. “If you compare the statute with this policy, it tracks almost identically, including the language,” the school district’s attorney, Rob Ross, said. “…where we did go off is adding the language about hemp oil products, because that is not addressed in the statute and we wanted to make sure that is more clearly stated in our policy.” The district has also included a provision that says if federal authorities tell the district that funding would be impacted by the policy, it can be voided, Ross said. “I don’t foresee (any litigation),” he said. “This has been an effort over several years with people from across the state, and this is actually something that is happening across the country. The information that we are getting from those folks who have dealt more directly with the federal authorities is that they can’t come out and say this is awesome, but they won’t come down on schools or school districts for trying to do the best thing and not get in-between students, families and their medical care.” District officials said they are still working to implement the changes and will make more information and details
Sheriff ’s office warns of telephone scams Individuals 70 and older targeted Staff report In just one week, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office had seven cases filed involving phone scams, which are targeting adults 70 and older. According to Sgt. Jeffery Engel, that’s a 57 percent increase in that type of crime. Current phone scams include calls from individuals claiming to be either the IRS or the Douglas County Sheriff saying there is a warrant for their arrest. The victim is then directed to purchase about $500 in gift cards or iTunes cards and load them to a site. Another current scam is individuals calling with information about a virus
on the computer requesting the victim to allow them remote access to his or her computer. The sheriff’s office wants the community to know that it never makes calls saying a person has a warrant and needs to pay up, nor will the IRS. Additionally, payment by iTunes or other gift cards is not the money accepted by DCSO or the IRS. If payment is requested by gift card or money order, it is a scam, Engel said. The sheriff’s office said suspects often have foreign accents, will have personal information of the people they are calling and will become pushy if they do not get answers they want. The sheriff’s office warns that phone numbers and IP addresses can be faked and are not always traceable, and Engel encourages the receiver of these calls to ask questions to determine legitimacy.
The location of the administration of the medical marijuana shall be arranged in advance with the primary caregiver and the building administrator or designee so that the administration of the medical marijuana does not create a disruption to the educational environment. Following the administration of the medical marijuana, the primary caregiver shall immediately remove all the products from school property. Student possession, use, distribution, sale or being under the influence of cannabinoid products inconsistent with this policy may be considered a violation of board policy available to parents in coming weeks. It is not yet known if district nurses, medical professionals or administrators will undergo any additional training. “With the passage of this policy, we are now gathering key stakeholders to ensure solid plans and procedures are in place to best serve all of our students and families,” Kantor said. “We are hopeful that we will have some developments regarding the plans and procedures by mid-to-late August.” Since beginning treatment with
concerning drug and alcohol involvement by students or other board policy and may subject the student to disciplinary consequences, including suspension and / or expulsion. Hemp oils The parents or guardians of students who are administering hemp or CBD oils who do not meet the state’s definition of medical marijuana (currently CBD oil products with a THC level of 0.3 or less), shall provide a written statement signed by the parent or guardian specifically describing the product with sufficient information to determine the THC level of the product and the method of delivery. School responsibility The school or school personnel shall not administer, hold or store any medical marijuana, hemp oils, or cannabinoid products in any form. If the Federal Government demands that the district cease and desist execution of activities under this policy at the hazard of losing federal funding, the district will comply with the federal guidance immediately. District employees shall not be obligated under district policy for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect based solely on the parent or guardian administering medical marijuana, hemp oils or other cannabinoid products in compliance with this policy. Source: Douglas County School District cannabis, Benjamin has not only been seizure free, Wann said. He also has performed better in school, been more vocal in class and experienced myriad of other social and cognitive improvements. Wann hopes her son’s example will make it easier for other students in similar situations to come forward about the benefits of medical marijuana. “There are a lot of people still in hiding,” Wann said. “Hopefully, (the policy) will help to do away with the stigma.”

Marijuana Continued from Page 1
The number of complaints about marijuana cultivation in the county jumped from 24 in 2014 to 45 in 2015. This is one reason the sheriff’s office is working with the Douglas County Board of Commissioners to adopt an ordinance regulating marijuana grows in unincorporated parts of the county. The ordinance, which is scheduled for an Aug. 9 public hearing, focuses on several key areas: where marijuana can be grown; plant limits per home; a ban on compressed, flammable gas and flammable liquids; the smell or odor produced; and growing at a rental property. The key element, though, is the limit on the number of plants allowed at a single residence. “It’s something that will give us the opportunity to temper a situation that is grossly out of control right now,” Johnson said of the ordinance. In 2012, Colorado voters passed Amendment 64, which legalized marijuana for recreational use and homegrowing for adults 21 years of age and older. It allows an individual to grow six marijuana plants at a time in his or her home for personal use. But state medical marijuana laws, laid out in 2000 when Amendment 20 legalized the use of pot for medical reasons, allows a caregiver to grow up to 99 plants depending on the number

IF YOU GO
Number of plants allowed for medical and recreational use combined:
El Paso County Land Development Code: 12 per dwelling unit
Castle Rock Ordinance: Not specified
Jefferson County Zoning Resolution: 6 per person, 12 per residential property
What: Public hearing for a Douglas County ordinance regulating the growing, cultivating and processing of marijuana
Arapahoe Land Development Code: 6 per person; 12 per dwelling of patients and physician prescriptions, according to Mark Salley of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which regulates medical marijuana. As of May, Colorado had 106,066 active medical marijuana patients, and during that month 235 physicians recommended medical marijuana for active patients, according to data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Severe pain is the documented condition for 92.8 percent of patients. The ordinance being considered by Douglas County commissioners would cap the number of plants allowed at any state of maturity to 12 plants per household, whether the growing is done by patients, caregivers or for personal use. Loopholes in Colorado medical marijuana laws have allowed people to home-grow marijuana for illegal profit under the guise of medical use, Johnson said. This is an issue facing counties and municipalities throughout the state. “One of the frustrations for us as law enforcement is when we walk away from
DOUGLAS COUNTY COLORADO
When: 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9 Where: Commissioners’ Hearing Room, 100 Third St., Castle Rock
Source: Douglas County a basement that’s been converted into a grow operation and they’re hiding behind a medical marijuana card,” Johnson said. “Is there a chance that they’re harvesting it, packaging it and shipping it out of state for financial reward?” The ordinance, Johnson said, would lessen the chance of illegal grows in the county and make the community safer. “This is a public safety problem,” Johnson said, adding that when a grow house is converted haphazardly, it poses a risk to everyone in the area. A big risk is fire, which can occur if modifications have been made to the electrical system in the house, and if large amounts of chemicals or butane gas are used in confined spaces without proper ventilation, he said. This is often the case when processing hash oil from marijuana plants. Such a fire broke out July 25 in Nederland in a home where a mix of chemicals and fuel from hash oil sparked an explosion, according to the Nederland Fire Department. Other safety concerns, Johnson said, are risks of robbery and home invasion. “Where there’s illegal activity, there are illegal crimes that occur,” he said, adding that it also puts neighbors of those illegal operations at risk. Both Johnson and James mentioned a recent home invasion in Golden as an example. On the night of May 16, police say three male suspects knocked on the door of a home with the intent to steal drugs and $10,000. But they entered the wrong house and homeowner Jesse Swift, a middle school teacher, was stabbed during the encounter. “I don’t want that happening here,” James said. “There’s a constant fear fac-
tor. I’m always on the alert. My wife is constantly scared.” An initial investigation of the Kentley Hills marijuana grow operation showed that it is legal and in compliance, with paperwork allowing up to 99 plants to be grown for medical use, Johnson said. At the time of the check in April, the sheriff’s office reported 60 plants growing inside the house. It takes 90 days for a marijuana plant to grow to maturity, which depending on the strand and growing process can grow up to 6 feet, Johnson said. Each plant can produce a pound of marijuana. Johnson said he could not say when the medical marijuana permit for the home was issued because of medical privacy laws. According to hotpads.com, a rental website, the home was listed as a rental in February. In April, the first complaints were filed with the sheriff’s office. James has lived in Highlands Ranch since 2001 and the last four years with his family in their Kentley Hills home on a street filled with families and friendly neighbors. During the day, he rarely sees anyone at the “grow house,” James said. But in the middle of the night, trucks pull in with groups of people for a couple of hours, before speedily leaving the neighborhood. His 11-year-old daughter, who likes to swing in the front yard and take her cat out to play in the grass, said the smell coming from the home gives her a headache and a cough, which makes her not want to go outside anymore. “It makes me sick,” James said. “I never thought of the possibility of a grow operation in my neighborhood.”

Work for unity in time of division Now that most of us have survived mentally, emotionally and physically from the RNC and DNC outrageousness, we can settle in for a few more torturous months and finger-pointing propaganda and rhetoric from both sides as they claim to unite the divided on their way to the presidency. I know, I know, this is supposed to be a positive and motivational column. Hang in there with me as I will eventually get there, I promise. So wait, what? Are we really counting on either candidate to really and truly unite the divided amongst us? I mean, we can’t seem to find common ground on anything these days, can we? Sure there are the gatherings of protesters both passive and aggressive who seem to unite for certain causes or common beliefs, but as a whole, as a community, as a nation, will we ever be united again? Can we? Were we ever? For me, I am not counting on our current president or any future president of the United States to unify us as a country. There are just too many issues, too many conflicts, too many people with too many opinions to accomplish such an onerous task. And after all, isn’t our differences what makes the world go around? Opposites attract, so why can’t we all just get along anyway? What I am looking to the leadership of our great nation to do is to unify our broken healthcare, education and administration systems, to further unify us with our allies, to unify us with our military, and to unify our actions and our messaging to our enemies, that although divided on many things,
we are still the United States of America. History tells us that there has always been division. And one thing we know for certain is that history repeats itself. And we face threats of further division each and every day. We even have business strategies Michael Norton and personal agendas that rely on a “divide WINNING and conquer” apWORDS proach. Social media condemns us or lauds us for our opinions, but even as the rants go viral and support seems abundant, the attention of our followers and friends wane as they are attracted to the next viral post, feed or video. Our unity is attacked every day and from every angle. Just think of the families and friendships that you know who have been destroyed by sharing their opinions and thoughts through social media. So here is the positive and motivational message I promised. I hope it adds a little hope and encouragement in our divided unity. Where does unity start and how do we protect it? Unity starts from within. It starts from within ourselves, from within our hearts and minds, and from within our family. A person who cannot be divided from their belief system will never be compro-
mised or have their foundation broken. A heart and mind that are united, connected and stand firm against the attacks will not waver or fall victim to the last thing that they heard or propaganda that they read. And a family who stays united, even when they can agree to disagree on everything from politics to religion and everything in between, will never be torn apart. It’s the commitment to unity, not the enticement of division, that binds us. The path to division is easy, so easy. Bandwagons pick up more people along the way every day. Unity is hard, but the rewards far outweigh the brokenness and fallout of division. And unity starts with each and every one of us. To borrow an old saying, “We need to become the change we want to see.” So let’s let the leaders of our country lead us where they need to focus their attention and energy, and let us as individuals, as families and as a community lead ourselves and each other in the way of unity. How about you? Are you divided and conflicted from within? Is there division in your family or in your business? Is there something you can do to work toward unity in your own life? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can get past the enticement to division and make the commitment to unity, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Elders have wisdom if culture will listen up For young people and mature adults, meaning and purpose are, to a large degree, derived from accumulating, succeeding, building and protecting assets and families. This is entirely appropriate — it is the outward expression of human being. Anne As we enter our McGhee-Stinson senior years however, forms and strucLIVING AND the tures that captured interests as young AGING WELL our people and mature adults begin to fade. Many of the questions of our lives are asked and answered. So what happens to all this looking-forward energy in the later years as we grow into our 70s, 80s, 90s and even older? The preoccupations of the outward expression that consumed so much of our attention dissipates with age and as we age, our senior years offer us an opportunity to shift our attention inwardly, and to ask the more essential questions in life and, in so doing, open ourselves to the great potential of true wisdom. What legacy can I leave the world? What have I learned and how can I share that in a way that makes a difference? Notice how much our elders want to share? This is more than a need derived from loneliness. This is human imperative. Sharing our experiences, our learning, our wealth of knowledge, and our wisdom is a way of anchoring our learning and purpose for others to benefit. Aging continues on Page 11

If the shoe fits, put it on A journalist worth his weight in waffles, waffles. For example, I flip-flop on flipflops. Lately, I have been seeing too many feet. I see feet in airports, art museums, and in nice Craig Marshall Smith restaurants. QUIET Whatever happened to “No DESPERATION shoes, no service”? Flip-flops are not shoes. They are footwear, but they are not shoes. They’re not even slippers. Grandma, I don’t want to see your feet. On the other hand, he said, they embody 21st-century coolness, and cool is always good. It seems. I never wanted to see Emmett Kelly wearing flip-flops, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Megyn Kelly wearing flip-flops. I often go back and forth on a lot of things. That way I don’t lose half of my
audience every time I favor or oppose something. That’s not true, and you know it. I have strong convictions about almost everything. Like everyone else, I have thoughts about “Black Lives Matter,” but you’re not going to find out what they are, because I’d like to still have a column next week. I am opposed to residential fireworks on the Fourth. They upset dogs, some of us with PTSD, like veterans, and those of us who truly care about what goes into our ears. Residential fireworks are very disrespectful, but that’s Americans, because more is more. It’s why Christmas starts in October, and why the Super Bowl is no longer a football game. It’s an ungodly spectacle. I am against carry-on luggage and carry-on babies, chewing gum with your mouth open, ketchup on hot dogs, flavored coffee and the failure of the government to make a clear distinction between yams and sweet potatoes. No one can tell the difference, including grocers. Smith continues on Page 11

Owens steps down as chairman of Metro District board Former Metro District manager Jim Worley takes position By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rick Owens said working with the Highlands Ranch Metro District for the past 14 years has been rewarding.

There are sweet-tasting sweet potatoes that aren’t sweet potatoes. Just call sweet potatoes “yams.” Snap. I am not in the middle of the road about what is going on in Georgia. The KKK may be allowed to adopt a highway. The same clean-up program exists here in Colorado. The ACLU is suing on behalf of the KKK because “its rights had been violated” when the Georgia legislature initially denied the Klan’s request to put up highway signs. No one wants to have their rights violated, but acquiescing to a right-wing extremist organization is wrong in this instance. Politicians notoriously flip-flop, like freshly caught haddock. That’s what they do. They bait with one promise and switch to another promise, whenever it’s to their benefit. Some politicians even flip-flop on their own party. Look up “Mugwumps.”

But our Western culture does little to listen, to acknowledge or honor our elders. Instead we ignore, belittle or condescend to this group. We shut them away. We fear them, the discomfort of what they represent, and the fears that they reflect in us. If we cannot honor and revere our elders — the longest-lived amongst us — how does that ultimately reflect in the quality of all other relationships? Not only do we suffer the loss of the wisdom our elders offer as individuals, our entire culture suffers because we have lost communion with this group and with it lost access to the depth and meaning of life itself. With wisdom we learn from the experiences of those who have already lived it and understand that all history is nothing more than our stories combined to create THE STORY that moves us all forward in the cumulative evolutionary impulse of the universe.

Perhaps the most famous footwear flipflops were the ones worn by the Northwestern University women’s lacrosse team to the White House in 2005. It was actually a perfect confluence. Flipflops were worn to the birthplace, really, of flip-floppers. But later it became a very heartwarming story. It led to the creation of the Friends of Jacklyn Foundation. Some people have attractive feet, and some people have disturbing, gnarled, unattended toes and toenails. When I see bare feet going through airport security, I sometimes decline the in-flight meal. Some subjects invariably raise our ire. My ire can be raised at the drop of an annoying word. “Vibe” is in my dog house. “Unique” does not take a modifier (i.e., “very unique”).

necessary for the District to excel,” said Terry Nolan, the Metro District’s general manager. Jim Worley, who represents the northwest region, was elected chairman at the Metro District’s May 31 board meeting. In early May, he was re-elected for a two-year term on the board of directors. Worley has lived in the same Highlands Ranch home for more than 30 years. He was general manager of the Metro District for nine years and managed Colorado special districts for 27 years. He’s already proved to be an “excellent chairman,” Nolan said. Owens, who represents Highlands Ranch’s west-central region, also did an
“outstanding job as chairman ...,” Nolan said. Last September, with his youngest child starting her last year of college, Owens took a position with Sitel, a global telemarketing and outsourcing business. As vice president of infrastructure and operations, he is responsible for network, voice and desktop technology across 143 call centers. “I have staff all over the world and have traveled over 50,000 miles so far in 2016,” Owens said. After the May election and with two years left on his term, he said it was good timing to have a change in leadership. “That way I can still be on the board to support in any way possible,” he said.

durance. This enabled us to withstand the forces of World War II — which enabled us to create the great drives of the ‘50s (technological innovations!!) and ‘60s (civil rights!!) etc. If we understood and honored our experiences for what they taught us and how they helped us to grow as individuals and as communities, culturally we would have what author Matthew Kutz refers to as contextual intelligence. What that term means to me in part is that we have a different understanding of events when we can view within a greater context (a larger container if you will). When viewed within the larger context our experiences merge and become part of the overall flow of a living history. If we were to simply sit and listen deeply to the stories of those who have gone before us, wisdom arises. But we must listen for it. When all the symbols we aspire to are gone, it is there. When we have let go of the attachments to beauty, youth, wealth, fame, position, power and influence, we find it there and with it, we find that we are still deeply, beautifully, profoundly — human.

Hydration with a twist Cut calories and sugar with infused water By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com
T
he concept of infused water is easy — its simply fruits, vegetables or herbs soaked in pure water. The trend caught on in recent years. Supermarkets carry brands of it, such as Hint Water — 16 oz. of water with a splash of fruit. Whole Foods Market makes its own, which comes in plastic bottles filled with leafy greens and colorful fruits. There are even water bottles and pitchers specifically designed for the fad with a center compartment for fruits and veggies. For those that prefer flavored drinks to plain water, infused water is a healthy alternative packed with nutrients and some flavor.
Because water, medical experts say, is essential for good health. It makes up 60 percent of a person’s body weight, according to Mayo Clinic, an online nonprofit medical organization. “Every system in your body depends on water,” it says, “For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells, and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.” Lack of water can result in dehydration, which can cause decreased energy, headaches and fatigue, Mayo Clinic says. The general rule of thumb is to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. For those who don’t like drinking plain H2O, try adding a glass of infused water.
QUICK TIPS Infused water, also known as flavored water, is any combination of fruits, vegetables or herbs soaked in water. It’s a healthy, and more cost-friendly, alternative to bottled drinks sold at grocery stores. Below are some quick tips on how to make infused water from allrecipes, a foodfocused social network and magazine. On ingredients: Allrecipes says choose organic when possible. And be sure to wash produce and rinse herbs to remove chemicals and pesticides.
On water: Use cold or room temperature filtered water. Hot water will wilt produce and may compromise nutrients. On preparation: Softer fruits, such as oranges strawberries, can be sliced thick, thin, halved, or quartered. Harder fruits like apples should be sliced very thinly because they take longer to release flavors, allrecipes experts say. Crush herbs, such as rosemary or lemongrass, with a muddler or wooden spoon. Tear or crush leafy herbs, such as mint or basil.

RECIPES, IDEAS FOR MAKING DRINKS Vegetable-infused water Caylee Chacon, nutritional health coach for Natural Grocers at Town Center in Highlands Ranch, recommends using vegetables in infused water. “I try to veer away from sugar,” she said. “You get so much of it day in and day out.” Even though fruits are packed with nutrients, they get that sweet, tangy taste from natural sugar. For example, three ounces of pomegranate has 11.6 grams of sugar, according to The Daily Meal, a food and
drink network. Figs, grapes, mangos and cherries also have higher amounts of sugar. For those who prefer low-sugar and low-calorie infused water, vegetables are an alternative. Most vegetables are packed with nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folic acid, vitamin A, and vitamin C. And they are naturally low in fat and have zero cholesterol, the United States Department of Agriculture reports. Recipes continues on Page 13
On time and temperature: Infuse water at room temperature for no more than 2 hours and then put in the fridge to keep fresh.
Lemon, raspberry, rosemary
Cucumbers, citrus fruits, melons, and mint flavor water almost immediately. Apples, cinnamon, fresh ginger root, and rosemary need an overnight soak in the fridge.
Watermelon, honeydew, mint
After 24 hours, strain out the solid fruits, vegetables or herbs and refrigerate the infused water for up to 3 days.
Orange, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves
Allrecipes recommends the following flavor combos: Cucumber, lime, strawberry, mint
Orange, blueberry, basil Lime, ginger root, basil Cucumber, mint, jalapeno Lemon, thyme Pear, fennel Source: www.dish.allrecipes.com/freshideas-for-making-infused-water/

A few veggies to try: Beets Bell peppers Jalapenos Cucumbers Celery Carrots Lemon water Adding lemon to hot or cold water is a natural way to cleanse the body. Lemon has an antioxidant called d-limonene, which has been shown to activate detoxifying enzymes in the liver, according to Health Magazine. “These processes take compounds present in the liver that are toxic to cells and convert them to non-harmful or less harmful versions,” the health women’s magazine says. “These `toxins’ can range from caffeine to ibuprofen.” Lemon can also improve digestion and increase the absorption of minerals in the body. The fruit contains pectin, a soluble fiber that helps the drinker feel full, which can also help weight loss. The bitter taste of the nutrient-packed fruit can be toned down with honey or Stevia — a sugar substitute from plant leaves that is sold in most grocery stores. Coconut water Coconut water is low in calories, fat- and cholesterol-free and has more potassium than four bananas, according to WebMD, an online healthcare network.
Photo by Shutterstock It’s also very hydrating and has less calories, sodium and sugar than many sports drinks. Per ounce, most unflavored coconut water contains 5.45 calories, 1.3 grams sugar, 61 milligrams (mg) of potassium, and 5.45 mg of sodium, WebMD says. Gatorade, has 6.25 calories, 1.75 grams of sugar, 3.75 mg of potassium, and 13.75 mg of sodium, WebMD says. Coconut water has an acquired, semi-sweet taste. Highlands Ranch resident Caroline Gutierrez only likes the brand “Real Coconut Water,”
which comes in a green glass bottle. It’s sold at chain superstores, such as Wal-Mart. “It makes me feel better when I’m dehydrated,” Gutierrez said. Watermelon water Watermelon, a sweet summer favorite, has many vitamins and minerals, including potassium, B vitamins and vitamin A. Watermelon also contains antioxidants, including lycopene, which may help reduce the risk of some cancers, according to Livestrong, an online
website dedicated to a healthy lifestyle. And the fruit has l-citrulline, an amino effective in reducing muscle soreness in athletes. Watermelon water is easy to prepare and requires little time. Follow this simple recipe from the Food Network. Ingredients: 3 cups peeled, seeded watermelon, diced 1/2 cup sugar, or as needed Lime wedges, for garnish Directions: Puree the diced watermelon with 4 cups cold water in
DIY sports drinks It’s important to replenish electrolytes lost during a workout session, especially in the summer heat. For those who prefer sports drinks to water, there are natural alternatives without the sugar and calories. Daily Burn, a website with tools on how to live a healthier, happier and more active lifestyle, recommends several do-it-yourself recipes for the exercise devotee. Below is the recipe for a DIY electrolyte sports drink. Ingredients: 1/2 liter of ginger water — Cut one medium-sized ginger root into large coins and place into a large pot with 1 liter of water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes. Let the ginger water steep until cool. 1 liter of water Juice of 3 small lemons 1/2 tsp. sea salt Stevia — an alternative to sugar — to taste Directions: Mix all ingredients together into a large jar or pitcher and stir to combine. Refrigerate.

Royalty keeps Western tradition alive N Emily Wormington was named 2017 Douglas County Fair and Rodeo queen By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com For one Douglas County resident, the rodeo royalty program at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo is a way to keep the Western tradition alive in the county. “The county is growing and we’re losing our Western heritage because of all the development,” said Carrie Thompson, of Sedalia. “So, I think it’s great that we have rodeo royalty to represent Douglas County for what it was, the tradition it used to be, the heritage it holds and the promises of tomorrow.” Thompson is well acquainted with the royalty program. She was crowned the county’s first fair and rodeo queen in 1995 and this year, her daughter, Hanna, tried out to be princess. The Douglas County Rodeo Royalty program names four positions each year: the queen and her attendant and the princess and her attendant. Princess candidates range in age from 9 to 15 years old, while the queen candidates range from 16 to 22 years old. “These girls act as ambassadors for the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo and they go to over 60 appearances a year,” said Debbie Mills, director of the royalty program, adding that during the competition, participants are scored on not only their speaking skills and appearance, but also on their horsemanship knowledge and how they perform on horseback. After the singing of the national anthem July 30 at the Hometown Rodeo, the dozen 2017 queen and princess contestants took their place in the center arena for the anticipated coronation. Emily Wormington, 16, of Highlands
Shelby Schroeder was named the 2017 Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Princess. She was one of seven contestants. Ranch, was crowned 2017 Douglas County Fair and Rodeo queen and Megan Rayl was named queen attendant. Shelby Schroeder was crowned princess and Georgia Strimenos was named princess attendant. “I’m very excited,” said Wormington, who has also held the title of princess and princess attendant. “It means going around and getting to spread what the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo means to me. It’s getting to share the excitement and bring it to other people throughout the state.” For many participants, the contest helps them become more outgoing and share their sport of rodeo, Mills said. This year, Carrie Thompson watched her shy daughter who loves horses break out of her shell in her first contest. “It’s going to teach her poise, gracefulness and that losing is always an option,” Thompson said. “Hard work pays off in the end and you don’t give up, you keep trying.”

Traveling to the past without a time machine Renaissance Festival wraps up season Aug. 6-7 By Katie Pickrell Special to Colorado Community Media For 40 years, Larkspur has transcended time and space, taking guests back centuries with its annual Colorado Renaissance Festival. “The atmosphere just exudes fun,” said Wayne Keller, who has been coming to the festival for the past 10 years. “It truly gives you that feeling of the renaissance, like you’re really going back in time. It feels like you’re time traveling without actually time traveling.” Keller’s wife, Leash, a four-year visitor, agreed. “I love it here,” she said. “I especially love dressing up.” The festival, which opened June 11 and wraps up Aug. 6-7 with a Mardi Gras-style celebration, is home to more than 200 artisans, comedy acts, musicians, jousters and lords and ladies. Many in attendance July 30 were clearly
veterans of the celebration. Jacob Douglas has been coming for 19 years. “It gives me an excuse to get the kilt out,” Douglas said. “It’s something different to do.” Others, like Rebecca Gilliam, visiting for the second time, were relative newcomers. She first checked out the festival on friends’ recommendations. She fell in love with the culture. “My favorite part is probably the costumes and all the actors,” Gilliam said. “It’s a lot of different people coming together. There are people dressed like video game characters and there’s people dressed like mermaids and gypsies.” Gilliam’s friend, Samantha Pierce, attended her first renaissance fair seven years ago. “We were little kids then so we went because our parents went,” she said. “We come now because we love it here.” And there’s plenty for families to enjoy, from miniature horse rides, steed-shaped ziplines and a separate section with kids’ games and activities. “My family made me want to come,” Frank Ramirez said. “It’s a great way to spend time with them.”

New app takes Ranch residents on art tour Otocast pulls up a virtual map of nearby outdoor artwork
By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com This year’s Art Encounters — a yearlong outdoor sculpture exhibit in Douglas County— is now easier for Highlands Ranch residents to navigate thanks to a smartphone app called Otocast. The mobile application serves as a virtual tour guide. “It’s like having your own personal tour guide or friend telling you what you’re looking at,” said Eric Feinstein, the app’s founder. The guides direct the discovery of new and recommended points of interest in an area using GPS technology, said Jamie Noebel, director of community relations for the Highlands Ranch Community Association. When someone opens the Otocast app, Art Encounters sculptures in HIghlands Ranch will be listed as green dots on a virtual map. As of now, only the
sculptures in Highlands Ranch are active on the app. Each green dot pulls up a photo of a piece of art, a description, an audio recording by the artist and a set of directions. For example, Otocast-users near Southridge Recreation Center will see a bronze sculpture called Flutter-by created by artist Janene DiRico-Cable, of Castle Rock. During last year’s Art Encounters, she stood in front of her sculpture and passed out information on her piece. Now Otocast does that job. “This is going to be a great opportunity for people to learn about the artists they like,” DiRico-Cable said. “It makes a connection — it’s more personal.” Feinstein, of New York, launched Otocast in 2014 after traveling to Dallas, Texas, for work. He was inspired by a desire to learn more about what was around him, he said. “I passed by a building or two that had public art statues,” he said. “I’m sure there was a story but I didn’t know what it was. I
kept thinking there should be a way to find out.” Feinstein has a degree in electrical engineering and computer science. But instead of working behind the scenes, he said he wanted to create a tool that would help people. So he started Otocast, now active in more than 70 cities across the U.S. and Canada. “It’s technology,” he said, “but it’s for a purpose.” His favorite component of the app, he said, is the audio. “It’s really neat to hear that first-person connection with what they (the artists) are talking about.” He tells an artist to keep his or her recording less than three minutes so it doesn’t sound like a lecture. He also tells artists to avoid explaining the art so the viewer can interpret the piece. DiRico-Cable said the audio recording component was interesting. She chose to thank people for taking the time to stop by her piece. “My approach to public art,” she said, “is I want it to be friendly and interactive.”

Parade marks 88th year Horses, antique tractors and marching bands among popular participants By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com About 120 entries will make their way two miles down Littleton Boulevard and Main Street for Western Welcome Week’s 88th Grand Parade. The parade, on Aug. 20, is the only event that has been part of Western Welcome Week every year, Executive Director Cindy Hathaway said. “You’ve got people who are diehards,” Hathaway said. “They will be at the parade no matter what.” Parade-goers line the street 10 to 20 people deep to see the entries, she said. The parade begins at the intersection of Gallup Street and Littleton Boulevard at 10 a.m., kicking off with a flyover of antique airplanes. “That alerts people downtown that the parade is starting,” Hathaway said. The entries will wind down to the judging stand at the west end of Main Street before proceeding south along Rapp Street to Arapahoe Community College. “We try to stay within two hours,” Hathaway said. Among the parade’s larger entries are 13 high school marching bands, two pipe bands and the Westernaires horse drill team, which has 60 horses and riders and is a perennial favorite. “People love seeing the horses,” Ha-

ciation of Living History, with its military re-enactments, and the Front Range Antique Power Association, with antique tractors, as popular longtime participants. And not to be forgotten is Kroen-
ke Sports, which brings the mascots for the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Mammoth who will pose for pictures after the parade. Said Hathaway: “The kids love them.”
Family favorites return for Western Welcome Week Most attractions are return events By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Western Welcome Week returns to Littleton for the 88th year beginning next week, and most events will be familiar to longtime attendees. The celebration officially starts Friday, Aug. 12, with the Family Night Concert in the Park in Sterne Park, with fireworks and the Denver Municipal Band. “That’s our kickoff event,” said Cindy Hathaway, executive director of Western Welcome Week. The first night also features the Stanton Art Gallery opening reception at Town Hall Arts Center and the Littleton Lions

artists at the Depot Art Gallery, both of which run throughout the week. One event this year that hasn’t been part of Western Welcome Week in the past few years is Moonlight Golf at
Littleton Golf and Tennis Club, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 13. “We’re bringing it back this year — it’s a lot of fun,” Hathaway said. “The old favorites would certainly be the concert and fireworks, the Family Pancake Breakfast and the Taste of Western Welcome Week. And, certainly, Festival Day, which has a ton of events.” The pancake breakfast takes place Aug. 14 at Arapahoe Community College, and the Taste of Western Welcome Week and Silent Auction, featuring local restaurants and breweries, is Aug. 17 at Littleton Center. Festival Day is Saturday, Aug. 20, and includes the Littleton Firefighters’ Children’s Parade and the Grand Parade. Hathaway also cited the Littleton Elks Children’s Fishing Derby, at Geneva Lake and
Park, on Aug. 13 as a popular event, as well as the interactive tour of Colorado Center for the Blind on Aug. 18. Other events include the Live Trivia Challenge at Platte River Bar & Grill on Aug. 13, featuring Littleton-specific trivia; the Pancake Stampede 5K Run and Walk at Hudson Gardens and Event Center on Aug. 14; the Littleton Elks Custom Car Show on Aug. 14; Littleton Main Street Historic Tours on Aug. 18; and the Elks Hometown Pig Roast and Dance on Aug. 19. Western Welcome Week runs through Sunday, Aug. 21, closing out with the 64th Homecoming Luncheon at Littleton Museum, or “Old Timers’ Luncheon,” which Hathaway describes as a chance for longtime Littleton residents to “reminisce about the good old days.”

Salute to educators Western Welcome Week pays tribute to teachers past, present and future
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The theme of the 88th Western Welcome Week is “Salute to Educators,” and three parade grand marshals were chosen to honor the past, present and future of education. Kenneth Coddington, a former principal of several elementary schools in Littleton Public Schools between 1972 and 2000, represents the past. Current Littleton High School science teacher Michael Montgomery represents the present. And as a nod to the future is Hannah Sturdivant, a recent Arapahoe Communi-

ty College childhood education graduate and assistant teacher at Belle’s and Beau’s Academy at the Farm in Aurora. The board asked education faculty at ACC to recommend a recent graduate and unanimously chose Sturdivant, Western Welcome Week Executive Director Cindy Hathaway said. “We thought it was great to be able to choose three, because it was hard to choose one educator,” Hathaway said.

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

Hours at Highlands Ranch motor vehicle office change Staff will use new hours to prioritize title work Staff report As of Aug. 1, the Highlands Ranch motor vehicle office has new public service hours. The office, at 2223 W. Wildcat Reserve Parkway, next to Little Holly’s restaurant, will be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Douglas County Clerk and Recorder proposed the new office hours to ensure timely completion of title work, which establishes a person or business as the legal owner of a vehicle. “While the vehicle owner does not see or directly participate in the title work, it is a critical component of our service to them in support of their purchase or refinance, allowing for a timely registration of the vehicle in their name,” Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz said in a news release. About 3,000 motor vehicles per month are purchased or refinanced by Douglas
County residents, according to county officials. The Highlands Ranch motor vehicle office — which is the least-visited location of the county’s three motor vehicle locations — processes the title work for these vehicles. “To improve customer service for all motor vehicle customers at all of our locations, we consolidated all title work processing to the Highlands Ranch office… ,” Klotz said. The clerk and recorder’s office will be surveying customers between now and the end of the year to evaluate the shift in hours and receive feedback, said Douglas County spokesperson Wendy Holmes. A customer who prefers a face-to-face motor vehicle transaction after 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday can visit the Lone Tree office, at 9350 Heritage Hills Circle, or the Castle Rock office, at 301 Wilcox St. Both offices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some transactions may also be completed online at the Colorado Department of Revenue Division of Motor Vehicles or www.colorado.gov/dmv.

C-470 Continued from Page 1
Also on the north side — closer to County Line Road — is the expansion of the 55-and-older community, Verona, which has 500 attached homes and condos. Other projects along the corridor are in Littleton’s jurisdiction and include a storage facility, a Courtyard by Marriott hotel and additional multi-family housing. Jocelyn Mills, Littleton’s community development director, said she has seen an increase in development in the area north of C-470 near County Line Road and Sante Fe. “Several business that the city has worked with have said they were interested in that particular area because of convenient access, views and available land,” Mills said. Development of the Highlands Ranch portion, on the southeast side of County Line Road, county officials say, is part of Douglas County’s master plan. “The land use in the northern tier of Douglas County is led by a comprehensive land-use master plan — by design,” said Wendy Holmes, Douglas County’s director of public affairs. The county long anticipated the area would become an employment center for the community, said Steve Koster, the county’s assistant director of planning services. The area south of C-470 between Santa Fe and Lucent already includes the Wind Crest retirement community, several Highlands Ranch Metro District facilities and the Highlands Ranch Business Park — a commercial area that encompasses Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus, NOVA Home Loans and UDR, Inc., a property management company. The area north of the corridor
has become a hub for car dealerships, including Mike Ward Infiti and the newly opened Schomp MINI, BMW and Honda. Mike Ward Infiniti, which includes Infiniti, Maserati and Fiat, is under renovation. The 50,900-square-foot, three-floor facility is expected to reopen this August. Additional business, said Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce president Andrea LaRew, means new jobs and new customers coming to Highlands Ranch. “It’s always exciting to see business expansion and new business in the area,” she said. The boom in business and employment along the C-470 corridor calls for a variety of housing types, Douglas County officials said. “The current and pending employment opportunities in the area are driving demand for a variety of housing types — at a variety of price points — that the developers of Solana are looking to help meet,” Koster said. Solana broke ground in May. The development will not have residents move in until sometime next year, said Matt Williams, development review manager of the Douglas County Department of Public Works Engineering. The housing development will require minor reconstruction to the adjacent road, Plaza Drive. Plans call for additional turning lanes and a cul-de-sac. The expansion of Verona, the community that sits on the opposite side of C-470, is intended to help meet the growing demand of housing for seniors, Koster said. Kathy Neely, a Highlands Ranch resident of 23 years, relocated to Verona about a year ago. She downsized from a four-bedroom home in central Highlands Ranch to one bedroom in the 55-and-older community. Many of her neighbors, she said, moved to Verona to be

working on the lawn and maintaining the house,” said Neely, who has a grown son. “They want to come to a place, like Verona, that is care free.” For Williams, the commercial
and residential growth along the C-470 corridor just naturally fit together. “Douglas County, in my opinion,” he said, “is a popular place to live, too.”

New rule could affect pace of play
Dan Apol will be the lone U.S. ref among the 16 for beach volleyball at the Rio Olympics. Courtesy photo
Embracing an opportunity Castle Rock resident heads to Olympics as only U.S. beach volleyball referee By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock resident Dan Apol will be the only United States referee among the 16 who will officiate at the beach volleyball matches during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Apol, 44, who left for Rio Aug. 1, was not apprehensive about going to the seaside Brazilian city that has been plagued with adverse stories. The Summer Olympics officially opens Aug. 5. Those stories have included the Zika virus threat, plumbing and electric problems in Olympic Village housing and polluted Guanabara Bay. And, on June 30, body parts washed up near the beach volleyball stadium on Copacabana Beach. “I saw that they had found a leg by the stadium, and the next day I was reading the newspaper and saw they found eight burned bodies in New York City,” Apol said. “I would be more concerned to go to New York City.” Apol has visited Brazil 10 times and says the people are wonderful. “There are a lot of things that come in the media that are pretty
negative about the Games coming up, but I’m pretty sure they are going to handle everything perfectly,” he said. “I don’t have any concerns.” Apol, who makes a living as a fulltime volleyball referee, started refereeing volleyball matches when he was a student at Michigan. He works NCAA Division I games and Paralympic matches and has been a ref on the FIVB Beach Volleyball Tour since 1999. He also refereed the beach volleyball matches at the 2012 London Olympic Games. “The first Olympics I didn’t know what to expect,” Apol admitted. “It was the most stressful 19 days of my life. For the last two months I’ve been thinking about these 19 days that are coming up and know it’s going to be a pretty stressful time.” But experience helps, he said. “I know what to expect on a lot of levels and it’s not all fun. There’s a lot of meetings and a lot of details.” Plus, the spotlight could at times be focused on him during the beach volleyball action, which will take place Aug. 6-18. “It’s on TV in front of millions of people and if you screw up it’s pretty
obvious,” he said. “That’s really something you don’t want. You don’t want to talk about that in meetings …” Referreeing beach volleyball can be different than calling an indoor match. “Each has their own quirks,” said Apol. “Weather is a lot to deal with in beach volleyball. We’ll do six to seven matches some days on the big days of the tournament. It can be pretty hot. “Basically as far as the calling, the ball handling is what gets the fans involved — whether or not the bump (pass with both arms together) was hand-set cleanly or not. There seems to be a little contention with the fans. There are a lot of people hollering at you.” But the job is worth it. Apol figures he has logged more than a million airline miles and travels about 100,000 miles a year. “I get a lot of offers from people wanting to know if they can come along and carry bags,” he said. “I’m never going to be rich in money from this, but rich in experience. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s the best job I could possibly imagine.”
Valor Christian headlines TV schedule Area high school football teams get national, regional exposure By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian’s football team will be featured in four televised games this season, including two national broadcasts on ESPN. During ESPN’s Kickoff Weekend, Valor will host Saguaro, of Scottsdale, Arizona, in a 1:30 p.m. ESPN game Aug. 27. The Eagles will again be at home against Greater Atlanta Christian on Sept. 9, televised on ESPN2. Valor games against Pomona and Cherry Creek will be part of Altitude’s eight-game high school package. The full schedule has yet to be announced. Pomona, which lost to Valor in last season’s Class 5A state championship game, will play at Valor Sept. 23. Cherry Creek, which beat the Eagles two years ago in the state title game, will challenge Valor Sept. 29 at the Stutler Bowl
in Greenwood Village. The televised games bring attention not only to schools like Valor but also to Colorado sports as a whole. “More than anything, it draws attention to Colorado athletics,” Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner said. “There are so many schools that have done a wonderful job competing at a high level. Hopefully it brings a little attention to the state. It draws attention to our state when they are seeing our teams competing on national television. “For us, it is certainly a pleasure and honor to be asked to play on those stations. When you travel and wear some of your gear around, you are on vacation, it is interesting that there are quite a few folks that will recognize the Valor V — and probably this year more than any because of the publicity (Stanford running back) Christian McCaffrey receives for the Heisman race and the mention of Valor Christian.” The TV appearances won’t generate a big payday for the schools or school districts.
ESPN has a third party in Paragon Marketing of Skokie, Illinois, that handles all negotiations with participating schools. It has been reported that schools receive $1,000 for an ESPN game and $500 for a game that is shown on ESPN2. A spokesman from Altitude wouldn’t reveal what kind of check schools or school districts receive from playing games televised on the regional network, but he did say, “the schools are happy with it.” “The origination fees that these broadcast entities pay are to help with the expenses required of stadiums to get ready for the games or go back into district and school sports programs,” said Bert Borgmann, Colorado High School Activities assistant commissioner. Jefferson County Executive Director of Athletics and Activities Jim Thyfault said schools are not getting rich from playing TV games. “When one of our teams hosts a televised event, the money we receive goes to that school,” he said. “It isn’t much, believe me.”
The Colorado High School Activities Association, which stepped forward with pitch-count limitations last spring in high school baseball, is once again looking ahead as one of three states to experiment with a 40-second play clock in football this season. Indiana, Michigan and Colorado will use the experimental rule this season. Texas has been using a 40-second clock since 2014 and the rule is used by the NCAA. Once an offensive play is over and the ball is placed on the ground, the 40-second clock will start. No official will give a signal to mark the ball ready for play. This is a change from the 25-second-clock rule, in which an official would have Jim Benton to signal to start the clock after OVERTIME marking the ball ready for play. In a few circumstances, the 25-second clock will still be employed. For instance, after a penalty, a timeout, a measurement, a change of possession or a scoring play. According to CHSAA, the experimental rule could be in place for up to three seasons, but it could go in front of the National Federation of State High School Association football rules committee for adoption if enough states agree with the rule. The goal of the 40-second clock is to improve the flow of the game. Teams can play as fast or slow as they want. The rule change was announced by CHSAA July 29. Douglas County football coach Gene Hill and his staff gathered to talk about the change. They hope to get more clarification later this month. “We talked about this as a coaching staff for the first time yesterday (July 29),” he said. “Our first thought was actually practicing with a stopwatch to get a feel for the 40 seconds between plays. “It was nice in the past because you knew the play clock started when the referee blew the whistle for play. This could actually streamline consistency of the clock and actually quicken the pace of the game a little. Nothing wrong with more action for everybody involved.” ThunderRidge coach Joe Johnson prefers the 25-second rule. “It was an unnecessary change,” he said. The pitch-count rules to prevent overworked arms was a success last spring, except for a few cases. CHSAA is still working on way to better enforce the pitch limitations and finding ways to communicate to each team the official pitch counts. Hill believes the state needs to make adjustments if the 40-second play clock becomes permanent in Colorado. “If this is adopted, the state is going to have to mandate play clocks in the back of the end zones like other states to make it easier not just for the teams but for the referees as well,” he said. “If easy technology is available to help streamline a simple rule like this, why wouldn’t we take advantage of it?” Practice time Boys golf teams can begin formal practice Aug. 8 and all other fall sports teams can start practice Aug. 15. Tournament play for boys golf can start Aug. 11 with the first tennis matches set for Aug. 18 and softball games Aug. 19. On Aug. 20, all other sports can commence competition, with the exception of football, which starts Aug. 25. Coach of the year Pomona boys track coach Jim Donnel has been named Colorado Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Donnel’s team came together late last spring and surprised other contending teams with a strong effort to win the Class 5A state championship last May.

Athletic event a multi-generational affair South Suburban event offered a chance to swim, bike and run By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media
When the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District holds its annual Youth and Adult TRYathlons each year, it places the emphasis on completion rather than competition. This year’s event at the Cook Creek Pool in Lone Tree on July 30 drew more g than 150 participants and featured five age categories, allowing athletes of all levels to test their abilities in the threeevent race. Sarah Nielson, athletic coordinator for South Suburban, said there are so many competitive triathlons that the district has been offering the recreational TRYathlons to get people excited about trying one. “The TRYathlons are for people who want to try it for the first time and who might be intimidated by the open-water swim.”
“
Sekou and Natalie Jones team up for the four-mile bike ride. The daddy, daughter duo took advantage of the TRYathlon to spend time together. Photo by Rick Gustafson Nielson said. The event had plenty of lifeguards on hand and was open to competitors ranging from as young as 5 to adult. Each age group had its own distances and the only entry requirement, other than a $20
fee, was the participants’ ability to swim unaided in deep water. Highlands Ranch resident Sekou Jones took advantage of the opportunity to team up with his 11-year-old daughter Natalie. The father-
daughter duo had T-shirts printed for the race and rode a tandem bike in the four-mile bike ride. “This is an awesome thing that we can do together,” Sekou said as they exited the pool after the swim. “Everybody says they grow up so fast, so I’m savoring it.” Jodi Peterson, of Castle Pines, said she entered last year’s event and tries to do at least one a year as part of her fitness program. “This is a familyfriendly event,” Nielson said. “The kids can do their race, and the parents can do one as well.” In the week preceding the TRYathlons, South Suburban held a fiveday triathlon camp to help participants up to 12 years old train for the events and learn how to transition quickly from the swim to the ride and then to the run. Susan Williams, the first U.S. triathlete to win an Olympic medal, was a guest coach at the camp. Williams won the bronze at the 2004 games in Athens. According to Nielsen, the event is the second of three TRYathlons planned
This is an awesome thing that we can do together. Everybody says they grow up so fast, so I’m savoring it.”
— Sekou Jones, Highlands Ranch resident
by South Suburban Parks and Recreation this year. The first was held at the Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial on June 26, and the third is planned as an indoor race at Goodson this fall. The events at the indoor TRYathlon will
be held in reverse order, beginning with the run, followed by a stationary bike ride and finishing with the swim. More information about the TRYathlons is available at the SSPRD website at www.ssprd. org/tryathlon

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 1, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A misunderstanding tests the temperament of the sometimes headstrong Aries. Instead of blowing your top, take time for a pleasant diversion while things cool down. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A workplace problem could make the divine Bovine see red. But talk it out before you consider walking out. Some surprising facts emerge that change your earlier focus. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You face a choice between ignoring your uneasy feelings about your relationship with that special person and demanding explanations. A close friend offers wise counsel. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change you’d been hoping for carries an unexpected complication. Stay the course, and things will work themselves out. Be sure to make time for family and friends. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Aspects favor spending time with loved ones. On the job, new ideas are generally welcomed. But some demands for changes could cause problems. Be ready to defend your choices. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: That workplace problem is close to being resolved with results that should please everyone. Take time off to indulge your love of fun and games. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Most of the time you are the most unflappable person around. But be ready to be thrown off-balance in the nicest way when Cupid takes aim in your direction.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s not often when someone tries to “sting” the sharpwitted Scorpion. But it can happen. Continue to be skeptical about anything that seems too good to be true. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your strong sense of self-esteem helps you serve as a role model for someone who needs personal reassurances. Your efforts pay off in an unexpected way.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close considers revealing a painful secret. Withhold judgment. Instead, open your generous heart, and offer dollops of your love and understanding. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your talents as a peacemaker are called upon once more as an old problem re-emerges with new complications. Move cautiously in order to avoid falling into hidden traps. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your artistic side is enhanced with the reception given to your new project. Use this success as encouragement toward fulfilling your larger goals. BORN THIS WEEK: Your natural sense of leadership is combined with a deep sense of responsibility. People trust you to give them both guidance and understanding. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Helmets Continued from Page 4
a motorcycle on the job and rode one for pleasure until the birth of his son last year. He says he has always worn a helmet, on duty or off. “You’re more vulnerable on a motorcycle than you are in a car, that’s something that has to be taken into consideration,” Kozuch said. “Being a motorcycle rider personally, I wear the helmet for safety because I have a family and I have to be as safe as I can.” Kozuch added that faster, lighter performance bikes, also referred to as “sport bikes,” accelerate quickly and have more sensitive steering, leading to situations that riders sometimes can’t control. “Motorcycles can do three things very well: they can accelerate very well, they can turn very well and they can brake very well, just not all three of them at once,” he said. “A wild animal or even gravel in the roadway can cause that motorcycle to start acting in a way that you’re not expecting. And if you’re not ready for it, it can have very bad consequences.” The most ‘fragile part of the body’ Tommy Van Swearingen rides a performance bike and says he likes the speed and responsive controls. He also likes his helmet. “I’ve got a great physical therapist. He can fix everything I’ve got, except for one thing. If I hurt my head, he can’t fix that. It’s the most fragile part of the body,” said Van Swearingen, a Littleton resident. “Having crashed a few times and seeing what it’s

done to my helmet, it just solidifies the belief that it’s the most important part of my gear.” Van Swearingen has been riding for 30 years and says all of his friends who ride also wear helmets. Van Swearingen works with parts manager Doug Vickery at a motorcycle shop in Aurora. Vickery asked that the name of the shop not be used because helmet use is such a personal issue he didn’t want to offend any customers. Vickery is a Larkspur resident and retired professional American Motorcycle Association racer. He still rides a sport bike, but he’s traded the racetrack for the road. He once crashed on a bike at 160 mph, in addition to being hit by cars on two separate occasions. He says he “always” wears a helmet, just as his parents
HOW COMMON ARE HELMETS? Nationally, a little more than 60 percent of motorcyclists wear helmets that comply with federal standards, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. States that have universal helmet laws — all motorcyclists must wear them — see more than 80 percent of riders wear compliant helmets, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In states like
Colorado without such a law, on average, only slightly more than half of motorcyclists wear helmets. Data specific to Colorado is not available, a spokesman for the Colorado Department of Transportation said. “Whatever the number is, too few people are wearing helmets,” said Sam Cole, a communications manager for CDOT.
and his son do. “I feel naked without one,” Vickery said. “Even if I had a cruiser bike, I’d wear a helmet … Safety equipment is everything.” But Vickery said, as important to him as helmets are, “if someone doesn’t want to wear one, I support their freedom to choose.” For Englewood biker Steve Hall, not wearing a helmet is all about “getting the full effect” of seeing and hearing everything around him as he rides. “They’re just uncomfortable,” he said. “I just like the freedom. The wind in your hair ... A helmet is heavy, it’s cumbersome and you’re missing the full effect. You can’t hear what’s going on around you. Even with your mirrors and everything, it’s not the same as just being able to turn your head and see what’s there.” Everyone’s responsibility Brahm Bechtold says other drivers are a more dangerous variable than whether or not he’s wearing a helmet. “You have to watch everyone around you,” he said. “We do the speed limit and it’s relatively safe, but there’s always the problem of the people who are going to cut you off. You really have to watch how you ride because not everyone is concerned about motorcycles here in Colorado.” Kozuch, the police officer, agrees about the importance of awareness: “I think at the end of the day it’s the responsibility of everybody that’s on the road, whether you’re on the motorcycle or a bicycle or in a car, to watch the roadway for everybody that’s around you.” CDOT recently announced a safety campaign that will last through Labor Day. It is placing messages on social media, at gas stations and on radio stations asking motorists to “look twice for motorcycles.” Hall has a Harley-Davidson cruiser and has been riding for more than 20 years. He wore helmets when he rode dirt bikes as a boy but says he’s never worn a helmet on the road. He was in an accident several years ago and suffered a slew of broken bones, but the incident didn’t change his mind on the subject of helmets. He hasn’t been in any accidents since, and he credits his careful technique and awareness of other drivers for that. He respects the decision of others to wear a helmet, but it’s not for him. “You ride your way,” he said. “I’ll ride my way.”
BY THE NUMBERS $1.1 billion
— Amount that could have been saved if all motorcyclists in the U.S. had worn helmets in 2013

GROUP OPPOSES MANDATORY HELMET LAWS In 2014, a task force for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended universal helmet laws across the United States in an effort to reduce the rate of motorcyclists killed in crashes. The American Motorcyclist Association — which “since 1924 ... has protected the future of motorcycling and promoted the motorcycle lifestyle,” according to its website — said the recommendation was based on “faulty reasoning.” A statement from the AMA said the task force did not adequately determine if the fatal injury in each crash that was part of the study could have been prevented if the rider had been wearing a helmet. “The AMA has long advocated the voluntary use of helmets, but opposes mandates because helmets do nothing to reduce the likelihood of a crash,” the group said. “Helmet use alone is insufficient to ensure a motorcyclist’s safety. There is a broad range of additional voluntary measures that can be implemented to improve the skill of motorcycle operators, as well as reduce the frequency of situations where other vehicle operators are the cause of crashes that involve motorcyclists.”
