The Jefferson County Board of Education approved a raise of at least 2 percent for all teachers and staff as part of the $1 billion 2016-17 budget ratified at the June 2 meeting.

“What we did with the budget does reflect the priorities that we told the community we would implement when we were running,” said board President Ron Mitchell, referring to increasing compensation for all staff and hiring more mental health workers. But “I am saddened by the fact there are so many things that I dreamed we would do and hoped we would do, but we couldn’t do due to the funding restrictions placed on this budget.”

The approval comes after months of Board continues on Page 5

There was a time in the 1930s through 1950s when travelers on their way west to the mountains flooded West Colfax Avenue. To accommodate all those travelers, enterprising businesspeople opened up motels.

NEWS IN A HURRY A glimpse of the people in our community

ALICE COLES Lamar Station Crossing artist in residence About me …

I was born in England, but our family moved to American when I was nine years old, and we’ve lived here ever since.

I’ve been fascinated by art my whole life — my nana, dad and mom are all interested in art as well. My mom had an art room, and I used to spend so much time there painting and drawing.

I went to Colorado State University and got my degree there in painting and graphic design. After college I took some time off and traveled around Europe, and decided I wanted to get another degree, and so I started at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (RMCAD) two years ago, studying 3D animation.

Life as a professional artist I’ve worked as a professional artist for the past seven years. I did work for the Subeta virtual pet video game, part time as a graphic designer and as a freelance artist.

For people looking to get into art as career, there are two things you need — networking and confidence. Networking can be a struggle for a lot of artists, but is really important. And if you’re looking at jobs and one sounds interesting, go for it.

Be bold and confident.

As an artist you have to be self-motivated, and learn to create, even when you’re not inspired. It’s about setting a routine, practicing and sticking to it.

The artist in residence program I received an email about the artist

Alice Coles is the new artist in residence at Lamar Station Crossing. She is currently finishing up her degree at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, and does online art tutorials on her YouTube channel. Courtesy photo in residence program at Lamar Station Crossing, and thought it sounded perfect for me. At the time I was commuting from Fort Collins to RMCAD, and I’ve served as a resident assistant at CSU before, so I’ve always been interested in programming and doing stuff with the community. I went through the application process, and was selected for the program.

I moved in on May 7, and am starting to settle in. Everyone who lives at Lamar Station is so friendly.

As an artist in residence, I have to do community arts programming, which I’m excited about, because I do arts teaching on my YouTube channel. I firmly believe drawing doesn’t require talent — it takes hard work and practice. I’ve got programs planned at community events and my studio at Lamar Station.

Meeting the community I’m really excited to get involved with the community and open up the artistic opportunities. I want to get the community excited about art.

“Yes, But How Do I Find the Best Listing Agent?”

Now that you know what a listing agent can and should do for you, you’ll probably want to interview more than one agent, but before you set an appointment, I suggest you check out each candidate online. Don’t just Google their name — at www.REcolorado.com (the Denver MLS) search for the agent under the “Find Agent” tab. There you’ll not only be able to see the agent’s active and under contract listings, but also their sold listings going back a couple years. Click on “Map View” and see where they do most of their business. Is it in your area?

(When searching, remember that a “Dave” might be under “David” or a “Chuck” might be under “Charles,” etc.)

The best predictor of how an agent will market your listing is how they are marketing

their current listings and how they marketed their sold listings. You can click on the address of each listing to assess whether that agent enters a little or a lot of detail and the quality of their pictures and video, if any. Look for whether the agent provides the measurements and a description of each room in the house. If an agent enters that info, he or she is doing much more than is required, which is a good sign.

If there is any one quality which clients want to see in their agent, it is accessibility and responsiveness. Does the agent let most calls go into voicemail? Does the greeting say that calls received after 5 pm will be returned the next business day? Maybe that agent isn’t for you. Lastly, trust your “gut feeling” about any agent. If you have any kind of negative feeling, trust it — and interview another agent.

what tasks are you paying your listing agent to perform? The mandatory services required by the Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC) are spelled out in Section 5 of the listing agreement. They include presenting in a timely manner all offers, accounting for earnest money received, keeping you fully informed throughout any transaction, disclosing any material facts about the buyer known by the listing agent, and advising you to obtain expert advice on matters beyond the agent’s expertise, such as legal and tax matters.

Those are “uniform duties” of your listing agent, even when he or she functions as a “transaction broker,” which a listing agent must do when he has a client relationship with the buyer. If he does not have a client relationship with the buyer, then your agent has an obligation to promote your interests with “utmost good faith, loyalty and fidelity” and to share with you anything regarding the buyer which gives you a negotiating advantage, such as how desperate

the buyer is to find a home, etc.

Nothing else is required by the CREC, but here are tasks which you should reasonably expect a full-service listing agent to perform:  Assess the market and help you price your home to get the highest price for it  Put your home on the MLS and other online resources to maximize its exposure  Shoot quality photos and video as part of a comprehensive marketing plan  Help you prepare (“stage”) your home to show its best  Advise you of likely inspection issues and recommend trusted vendors to fix them  Install lockbox and engage showing service to manage showings and provide feedback  Evaluate and negotiate competing offers  Negotiate inspection demands  Negotiate when home appraises for less than contract purchase price  Guide you through the closing process

Soothing a traveling soul

By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com Lakewood recently tapped the restorative power of music to soothe the weary soul of lightrail travelers with its first Live at Light Rail performance.

“This was Mayor Adam Paul’s idea,” said Bill Marino, chair of the 40 West Arts District, which is hosting the performances. “He reached out and said he wanted to do something at the Lakewood-Wadsworth Light Rail station to set it apart, and thought music would be a good fit.”

The Lakewood-Wadsworth Station is the city’s signature light rail stop.

Rockley Music’s Youth Wind Ensemble, Big Band Theory, performed on the station’s plaza area on May 25. The group played classic movie songs like the themes from “Mission Impossible” and “The Pink Panther,” and jazz favorites like Miles Davis’ “So What.”

“I think it’s really cool they’re doing this,” said The Action Center’s Sally Reed, who stopped to listen to a performance. “It’s a great way to give these kids open-air performance experience.”

Ward 2 councilwoman Sharon Vincent was also on hand.

Live at Light Rail will continue from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays throughout the summer,

Support Our Troops pig roast The American Legion Post 21 invites the public to attend its annual pig roast, 3-10 p.m. June 11, at the American Legion Post 21, 500 Ninth St., in Golden.

To learn more, call 303-279-6200.

Bill Marino, chair of the 40 West Arts District, welcomes the Big Band Theory to the first ever Live at Light Rail performance. Photo by Clarke Reader with a variety of performers slated to appear, including local bands, choirs, ensembles and school groups.

“We want to offer unique experiences to both the community and these local groups,” said Melanie Stover, director at 40 West Arts Creative, as the band played on. “I just think it’s a super-cool experience for people who may not often get to see live music.”

As the Big Band Theory played, family members were joined in listening by disem-

barked riders. The children could look up from the sheet music to see plenty of phones pointed their way, as the light rail whooshed overhead.

The plan is to grow the program this first summer, and it’s possible food trucks and art vendors may join as Live at Light Rail grows.

As another group of light-rail riders descended the stairs to the performance, Stover got to the heart of the matter: “What better way to wind down after a long day than some live music?”

Jeffco schools approve new employee contracts

By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Collaboration was key in this year’s negotiating season between the Jefferson County School District and the unions representing teachers and educational support professionals, such as para-educators and bus drivers, leaders of the bargaining teams said.

On June 2, that collaboration was evident when the Jeffco school board unanimously approved contracts with the unions, giving each union compensation and benefit increases and agreeing to a five-year contract with teachers and a three-year pact with the support professionals.

“I am thankful that we had quality teams that wanted to work together to solve problems,” said Jeffco Superintendent Dan McMinimee. “With both negotiating agreements we had teams who came together to solve problems, looking forward to how can we come together to make the district the best that it can be.”

The past two negotiation sessions between the teachers’ union and district officials were contentious, marked by mediation sessions and the threat of a strike.

But this negotiating season, the district and the unions said they wanted to work in good faith and collaborate.

It took the educational support professionals a few weeks and the teachers’ union about three months to reach agreement.

“We are happy to be able to work with a board of education that wants to collaborate with educators and parents and do what is best for all students in Jeffco,” said John Ford, teacher and president of the Jefferson County Education Association, which represents 2,800 of the district’s 4,700 teachers.

JCEA CONTRACT KEY POINTS • The contract introduces a grid-salary system that gives raises based on educational degree, years of service and evaluation rating.

• All educators will be transitioned to a salary schedule and receive a 2.7 percent raise and one-time 2 percent stipend.

• Highly effective, effective and probationary teachers who receive a partially effective rating will receive a step increase to match placement on the grid. Any teacher with an ineffective rating, or a non-probationary teacher with partially effective or ineffective ratings, will not receive a raise.

• Educators with a highly effective or effective evaluation rating who did not receive a step increase will receive a onetime stipend in October.

• Elementary instrumental music was retained at all elementary schools • Contract length is five years, starting July 1 and running until Aug. 31, 2021.

• The district will increase retirement contributions by 0.5 percent.

Both unions bargained strongly for more compensation, something all parties agree is still not where it needs to be, based on research and a study performed by the district’s human resources team. This study showed Jeffco schools is not offering competitive contracts for educators and classified workers when compared to several neighboring districts, such as Boulder Valley, Cherry Creek, Littleton, Northglenn and Westminster. For example, a

newly-hired educator with a bachelor’s degree and seven years of experience would make $2,000 to $6,000 less than the above districts.

For the past two years, the district has been operating under a pay-for-performance compensation model designed by former board president Ken Witt. It raised the district’s starting salary to $38,000 and gave educators raises based off their evaluation rating each year.

For the 2016-2017 school year, all educators will be transitioned to a gridsalary schedule and receive a 2.7 percent raise and one-time 2 percent stipend.

Movement in the schedule is based on years of service, educational degree and effectiveness rating. Before 2014, the grid did not include the evaluation rating.

“As we begin to clean up the mess left behind by the board majority, we will continue to keep students at the center of everything we do,” Ford said. “We have developed a vision for the schools our students deserve and our focus will be on making that vision a reality in our community.”

The board majority of Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk were elected in 2013 on a conservative-focused agenda.

They were successfully recalled last November after two years of policy changes and contentious initiatives, such as the pay-for-performance plan. Under their tenure, state and district statistics showed an increase in teacher turnover.

Educational support professionals — which also include lunchroom staff, secretaries, maintenance workers and mailroom crew members — will receive raises based on level of experience and where they’re at in their careers. All will receive a 0.5 increase this fall. Jeffco Schools classified staff who received a step increase also will receive a 1.5 percent increase as a stipend in Octo-

JESPA CONTRACT KEY POINTS • Three new task forcees will address benefits, compensation andworkplace injuries.

• Workers employed by Jeffco schools with a satisfactory evaluation will receive a step increase and a one-time stipend of 1.5 percent in October.

• Entire JESPA salary schedule will receive an increase of 0.5 percent.

• Employees classified as contractors will receive a one-time 3.5 percent stipend in October.

• The district will increase retirement contributions by 0.5 percent.

ber. Contractors and those who did not receive a step increase will receive a 3.5 percent stipend in October.

“The business of school is a team effort and it’s time to be making up for lost ground,” said Lara Center, a paraprofessional and negotiating team member for the Jefferson County Educational Support Professional Association. “And JESPA feels with the settlement reached at the negotiating table this season we’re headed in the right direction.”

Board Member Susan Harmon agreed.

“You are amazing humans and you really do touch all of the students and families every day,” she said to educational support professionals. “We did the best we could do with what was there and we all have heard the sacrifices you made and how much you love your jobs.

And we wish we could do more than just show you with our words.”

Board explores options Miners Alley Playhouse “Come Play in the Alley” to pay for facilities

The Jefferson County Board of Education is expected to decide June 16 whether or not to ask voters this fall to help pay for projects included in the proposed $420 million facilities master plan.

“We haven’t decided what to do, but we will make a decision,” board President Ron Mitchell said.

Over the next week, the district will review feedback from 16 community meetings and compile options for the board to consider at its June 14 meeting.

At that meeting, the board will decide whether to put forth a bond or mill levy, or seek other funding options for projects in the plan, this November. That decision will be finalized at the board’s June 16

board discussions, community surveys and union negotiations. Along with the compensation increase, the board approved hiring full-time mental health employees, expanding clinic aide hours, increasing paraprofessional support and contract review administrator to work in the HR department on employee contracts.

“This is the very first time I’ve seen a budget come together so quickly,” Superintendent Dan McMinimee said. “It is because of all of the pieces of the system working together to make this budget work.”

Moving forward, the board said it would like to see more dollars given to compensation, security and emergency management, technology and to schools for Student Based Budgeting (SBB), a budgeting model adopted by the board majority to give each school more flexibility on how to best use funding.

“Doing a budget is probably one of the most important things an elected body does and it’s supposed to reflect the priorities we’d like to achieve,” board member Brad Rupert said. “I feel pretty good that it actually does reflect the values we were elected to implement and, honestly, it reflects the values of our citizens and what we really need to do to educate our kids.”

The budget is available for public review on the district’s website: www.jeffcopublicschools.org/finance

special meeting.

The changes proposed in the 2016 Jeffco facilities master plan affect each of the district’s 154 schools. They include closing seven schools, consolidating 10 elementary schools into five new buildings, moving 44 sixth grades into middle schools and modifying boundary lines to address overcrowding issues.

In early May, the school board asked district staff to explain the plan to the community.

“Our facilities people are taking that feedback and folding that into the Facilities Master Plan,” said Superintendent Dan McMinimee, who helped facilitate the community meetings with his executive staff. “We’ve definitely made a big attempt to reach out to the community and receive feedback on this plan.”

While it’s fairly common knowledge that Alzheimer’s disease robs people of their ability to remember, many other truths about the disease remain unknown, experts say.

For instance, many people are unaware that Alzheimer’s is a fatal disease, its symptoms extend further than memory loss and early diagnosis matters.

“Greater understanding is urgently needed given the dramatic impact of the disease,” said Linda Mitchell, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado. “Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. In Colorado alone, we are projecting a 37 percent jump in the number of people with Alzheimer’s by 2025, reaching 92,000.”

To improve the public’s understanding of the disease and to underscore the need for swift action, the Alzheimer’s Association is highlighting essential truths aimed at curbing common misconceptions about Alzheimer’s. These truths

include: Alzheimer’s disease is fatal There are no survivors. From 2000 to 2013, the number of Alzheimer’s deaths increased 71 percent, while deaths from other major diseases decreased. More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, including 67,000 in Colorado.

Alzheimer’s disease is not normal aging Alzheimer’s is a fatal and progressive disease that attacks the brain, killing nerve cells and tissue, affecting an individual’s ability to remember, think and plan. Brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s may begin 20 or more years before symptoms appear. Although age is the greatest known risk factor, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging.

Alzheimer’s is more than memory loss Many believe the disease only manifests itself through memory loss, when it may appear through a variety of signs and symptoms. However, since Alzheimer’s affects people in different ways, each person will experience symptoms and progress through the stages of Alzheimer’s differently. Experts from the Alzheimer’s Association have developed 10 key warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease Alzheimer’s continues on Page 17

ALZHEIMER’S AND BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, the Alzheimer’s Association is encouraging those touched by the disease to show their support by doing the following: • Participate June 20 in The Longest Day, a sunrise-to-sunset event to honor those facing Alzheimer’s disease with strength, heart and endurance.

• Join the Alzheimer’s Association in wearing purple throughout the month, especially June 20. Share photos of yourself, family, friends and coworkers wearing the movement’s signature color via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc., with the hashtag #ENDALZ. • Visit www.alz.org/co to uncover the critical truths about Alzheimer’s and why they matter.

VOICES

LOCAL

Blame presidential politics on Marvel Comics I’ve been watching this year’s election cycle in much the same manner I watch a car wreck: slightly detached, hoping everybody will be OK, but preparing to triage the survivors.

And, like a car wreck, with 100 percent certainty that there’s going to be a lot of lawyers in our future.

Really, I’ve tried to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing, a little perspective.

I mean, the country has survived a sitting vice president killing a man in a duel. It has survived a Civil War; the collapse of a political party known as the Whigs, which gave way to another party led by an obscure historical figure named Abraham Lincoln. It survived God knows how many alcoholics in the White House, not the least of which was Ulysses S. Grant, and it survived a number of catastrophic events in the 20th century. I believe it will survive a Trump-Hillary general election.

But, that said, it still baffles me how we arrived at this juncture, as a nation. With 300 million people, you’d think we could find a couple people whose defining characteristic wasn’t self interest.

And then, it hit me! It’s all because of Marvel Comics and movies.

Ask most women who the most interesting, most attractive member of the cast of the recent Marvel Studio movies is and I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts the top answer is split between any one of the main stars, and Loki, the God of Mischief, the bad guy,

played with relish

by Tom Hiddleston.

See, Loki makes being the overlooked, underappreciated, smartest-kid-in-theroom-just-trying-toget-Daddy’s-attention seem like the most fun in the world. Er, Asgard. Er, universe.

Plus, thanks to the Michael Alcorn casting choice, there’s HITTING the whole extremelyattractive-with-aHOME British-accent thing working for him.

In other words, Loki makes egotistical, self-interested, slightly insane and extremely dangerous COOL. Which explains how Trump got here.

But what about Hillary? She’s not a superhero, or a god, or a billionaire philanthropist genius playboy. So how did she get this close to the presidency? There’s this: she’s powerful, she’s Machiavellian, her behindthe-scenes maneuvers gave her an insurmountable advantage before the first real vote was ever cast, her presence has been looming over American politics for 16 years now, and she has resources to spare (some, obtained in ethically questionable ways)…

She’s Thanos!

Don’t know who Thanos is? Understandable. I had to ask my son a couple times

even what the guy’s name is for the purposes of this column. I just remember a gigantic, menacing, puppet master lurking in the shadows of three of the Marvel movies, pulling strings and waiting to claim dominion over the galaxy. And, yes, his schemes went awry once (though I don’t believe it had anything to do with a philandering husband), and we certainly haven’t seen the full extent of his role. He will come to the forefront very soon.

Politics always follows culture.

The more interesting our villains become, the easier it is for the culture to overlook peoples’ flaws, however significant, and consider their merits, however insane that may be. So, if you, like me, lament the condition of our body politic, I say blame Stan Lee and the Marvel Universe.

It’s certainly easier, and a lot more fun, than blaming ourselves.

Side note regarding last week’s column: Now we all know why I don’t make a living running the sports book out of Las Vegas.

Turns out a team playing with great joy is sufficient to overcome the will of one great player (especially if that player, inexplicably, doesn’t touch the ball in the last four minutes). But, you should learn this: Whenever I make a prediction, put money on the other team. Not that I encourage gambling…

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

With so many celebrity deaths recently, which one mattered most to you?

What is Sustainable Printing?

It’s the paper: Biodegradable, renewable, recycled, reusable.

It’s the ink: Soy based inks are used, reused then recycled.

It’s the plate: Process-free plates eliminate VOC’s and reduce water usage.

I think the main thing that they’re all so closely related. The whole drug, over-medicating thing, it’s kind of weird. I suppose the weirdest thing is that it’s like nobody knew, like with Michael Jackson and now Prince.

— Carrie Maniscalco, Denver

For me it would be Prince, because I graduated from high school in 1984, so his music was a big part of my high school years.

It’s sad that he overdosed on fentanyl.

— Anita Alexander, Columbus, Ga.

I’d say (Prince), just because of the music.

Ali’s death was a shame, but I really never kept up with boxing. And it wasn’t such a shock.

— Mark Alexander, Columbus, Ga.

It’s the press: Using cold-set presses reduces the amount of VOC’s put into the air.

It’s the location: Printed locally reducing shipping and postage costs, while saving gas, emissions and time.

On listening to my own advice Before Memorial Day, several of my colleagues shared their plans for the long weekend. One was off to the Canyonlands of Utah, another to North Dakota for fishing, and yet another was headed to the Great Sand Dunes National Monument in my old stomping grounds of the San Luis Valley. To this co-worker I warned, with an air of superior knowledge, “Take insect repellent – it’s tick season in the Sangre de Cristos.”

It was good advice. I know from school field trips, Girl Scout outings, and afterprom evenings that ticks are plentiful in southern Colorado in late May. Besides being just creepy, they can carry disease.

Plus, once they dig in, they are really hard to remove. So avoiding them in the first place is the best plan.

I also spent the holiday out of town, crawling around the mountains near Steamboat Springs, because I played two 18-hole rounds of extreme disc golf. I am

not a good thrower and although most of my own shots went uncontrollably off into the scrub brush, we all were ducking under branches, scrambling over rocks, and pushing overhanging foliage out of the way.

Andrea Doray You may have ALCHEMY guessed already where this is going.

The ticks are also plentiful in the northern Rocky Mountains this time of year. Before we even got back to our cars, one of my friends found a tick on his sleeve. My own words came back to me: “Take insect repellent – it’s tick season!”

To be fair, I had no idea we would be

playing disc golf at all, much less in the wild – and wildly remote – underbrush of Routt National Forest. I did have the good sense to change from sandals to tennis shoes, and to grab a visor and sunscreen.

Yet it never entered my mind to pick up some bug spray, even though I had been all too eager to advise others to do the same.

So, maybe you can guess what happened next. The following morning, I spotted a tick crawling down my shirt … a different shirt. I was seriously weirded out (to use specific language). I’m pretty nonchalant about possible disease, but the fact that this thing had somehow been hanging around overnight was quite unsettling. Why hadn’t I taken my own advice?

The reason I’m telling you all this is because it’s a good reminder for me — actually, for anyone who thinks we know what’s best … for someone else. I often

find myself pushing into other people’s conversations to share my opinions, even when unsolicited. I have felt pretty sure, recently, that I know the best place to vacation in Mexico, the best route to take downtown, and even what’s best to order in a restaurant because it’s what I like.

From the reactions I’ve received, though, some of the recipients of my proclamations might have been bemused, or even annoyed.

My opinions may be all well and good … for me. But for other people, maybe not so much. And, clearly, I didn’t consider the advice I gave out to be good enough for me. Lessons learned? Provide advice only when asked, and be sure it’s advice I would follow myself.

Andrea Doray is a writer who still believes that warning people about tick season is a good thing. Contact her at a.doray@ andreadoray.com.

A library is a local joyful place to take children The library is a great place to take grandchildren when providing childcare.

The visits are easy, inexpensive, and offer a fresh supply of books for the home stack. They provide an opportunity for adults and children to meet others with similar interests.

Libraries are providing so much more than books. Check out the mailer sent to your home or the information board at your library. Librarians more than ever are pairing reading with art, music, games, Lego engineering, reading to pets, science, math, economics, technology, contests, writing, storytelling, puppets, toys and imaginary play.

A bit of prep As with any activity, families can prepare children for good behavior and

practice before visiting. A library is a place LIFELONG to walk and use an LEARNING indoor voice because others are thinking and reading. It is a joyful place to explore, be friendly, share toys with others and greet librarians. Build it up as one of the most wonderful treasures in the community. It is, if you want children to be good readers and successful.

Take a short tour of the library. Notice displays. Introduce children to the library toys in the children’s section and play with them together. Then take a peek at books you want to encourage. Librarians will help you find sections of your favorite books.

Large storybooks and other fiction books are made up and organized by the

Esther Macalady

author’s last name. They have beautiful illustrations that are important to point out and discuss while reading.

Nonfiction books are factual and are arranged by numbers on their spines. Ask librarians to help find a topic and browse the shelves. Preschool children may like to look at the pictures of nonfiction books while adults explain what they are seeing.

Children often want to take out a favorite book repeatedly like an old familiar blanket. They often pretend to “read” these books to adults because they have them memorized. This behavior is one of the first signs that you are raising a reader.

Transition to home Leaving may be the tough part. About 20 minutes before departing start a transition time. Some adults point to a clock’s

OBITUARIES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Progress means respecting ‘spirit of the mountain’ Green Mountain, the mound of ancient aggregate stones west of Denver, which is sometimes green in the spring and predictably brown in the summer, has always been a stalwart of Lakewood landmarks representing “close-to-town” untamed lands that draw urban adventurers clambering over its face with hiking boots, furry four-legged companions and bike tires all year long.

In years past, very few ventured to Green Mountain to hike, much less bike or do anything else. At one point in its history, it was considered such a banal feature that it became a gunnery target for artillery practice from Camp George West in Golden. But more than a mound of rocks, the wide rolling flanks and ravines of Green Mountain were the wild lands of Lakewood, home to many animals from deer to coyotes and foxes.

For those young kids who lived in the shadow of the mountain, of which I was one, we saw it as an adventurous play-

minute hand to show the leaving time even though children can’t read it yet.

“Number one in a little while, it is time to put toys away so we can find them again.” When finished, state, “Number two we will check out our books. Number three we will have mac and cheese at home, and blueberries, your favorite.”

Here adults are helping make a transition from one great activity to another. If transition is difficult for a time, no worries, this has been seen and personally experienced before by many others.

ground allowing us to go into “the wild” while still making it home for dinner.

Today, like a military battle scene, the last of the mountains’ appendages are being overrun by the Army of Urban Sprawl. A heartbreaking consequence is the audible wailing of coyotes late in the night celebrating a hunting victory of some small prey is becoming less frequent as they and other wildlife are pushed to the outside fringes of our modern society.

“Progress” apparently cannot be stopped. There also cannot be any justifiable criticism from me since I, too, am an invader. We cannot expect the gate to be closed after us.

We are the guests, and our homage will be our mindfulness and gratitude to the spirit of our “mountain” by demanding good planning and well-designed communities. Let us not take without giving due respect in return.

Group invests in improving mental wellness Jeffco-based Community First Foundation to host grant event in September

By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com Donating money to untested ideas in their infancy is a big ask for many philanthropic organizations with limited funds.

Not long ago Noah Atencio, vice president of community impact at Community First Foundation, and Cheryl Haggstrom, executive vice president of Community First, were discussing this very problem.

“Usually, organizations like us give our money to evidence-based ideas, but we wanted to make an impact on ideas that aren’t proven — yet,” Atencio said.

“We also wanted to have more community engagement opportunities, and that led to an idea.”

Community First, an organization that helps connect nonprofits and donors, is hosting a large-scale pitch event to benefit the Innovators Society. The society is dedicated to improving mental wellness options for Coloradoans by investing in new mental health care ideas.

The event will be Sept. 30, at the Lakewood Cultural Center, and will put $500,000 in grant money in the hands of local leaders to donate to the organization they see fit.

Six organizations were selected by Community First last year to participate: Bright by Three, Clayton Early Learning, Project Helping, Carson J. Spencer Foundation, Im’Unique and CU-Denver, School of Public Affairs. All six have

more money for development.

“There will be around 250 audience members with around $1,800 to donate as they hear the pitches from these organizations,” Atencio said. “This is a pretty unprecedented approach to awarding money, and we’re excited about it.”

About 40 community leaders also will select one business to receive a grand prize of $50,000.

The organization decided to focus on mental wellness because of the lack of treatment options and to eliminate some of the stigma, Atencio said.

To help the organizations practice for their big pitch, Community First held a

“Participating in this event seemed like a great opportunity,” said Jared Wigdor, with Bright by Three. “We only have five minutes to make our pitch, so I’ve been working to communicate the important things the audience won’t hear elsewhere.”

The organizations still have three months to refine their approach, and while the event is new to almost all participants, it provides a chance to hear directly from the community.

“We come out of this process with real practice and feedback,” Widgor said. “Just getting that kind of feedback makes this a valuable experience.”

Jonathon Buschbacher, 36, of Golden, purchased his 1991 Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster in 2013. He bought it wrecked, and it took him about six months to complete the fix-up. One reason to have a motorcycle, he said, is to be able to work on it and become a better rider. Courtesy photos

The cycle of life Riders love freedom of two-wheel travel

Toni Buford has her picture taken on her dad’s 1994 Heritage Softail Harley Davidson on her wedding day on May 6, 2006. Buford’s dad, Bob Buford, who passed away mid-April of that year, was well-known in the biker community, she said. “It was a rough day,” Buford said, “but I felt like he was with me when (I) made that ride.”

here’s just something about being on a motorcycle. Riders like the open road, the freedom and the independence.

“No matter what,” said Jonathon Buschbacher of Golden, “whenever I’m on my bike, it’s a good day.”

Riding a motorcycle is not a new hobby — the bikes have been around since the mid1800s. Sylvester Howard Roper, an American, invented a two-cylinder, steam-powered velocipede in 1867. The first gas-engined motorcycle was invented by a German man, Gottlieb Daimler, in 1885. And the HarleyDavidson Motor Company was launched in 1903 by William Harley and brothers Arthur and Walter Davidson.

For many people, owning a motorcycle is a passion, interest and stress reliever, said Luke Porter, 22, who works at Sun Enterprises in Thornton, one of Colorado’s largest motorcycle dealerships.

Riding gives a lot of people freedom, he said. “You don’t have to focus on anything besides the

action.”

Porter has been in the industry for about five years and went to school for motorcycle technology. His dad, Dave Porter, is manager of Old World Bikes, a vintage motorcycle parts, service, restoration and sales shop in Golden that specializes in Triumph, BSA and Norton motorcycles.

Luke Porter started off riding bikes in his teens and developed an interest in repair through his dad. “It just kind of took off from there,” he said.

‘Buy, fix, ride and show’ People are catching on that it’s a “really fun hobby,” said Toni Buford of Golden, who owns three Harley-Davidsons. Motorcycles have grown in popularity among women and the younger generations, she said, and the “old-timers” are still riding.

“Usually, if it’s something you love, you’re never going to give it up,” Buford, 50, said.

Rohn Hyde, 67, of Lakewood taught himself how to ride a motorcycle when he was 11 years old.

“I was a paperboy,” he said, “and I had to have motorized conveyance because I got tired of pedaling.”

Don’t forget the music for summer fun

Clarke Reader

LINER NOTES

For me, no other season goes with music like summer does.

In Colorado, summer is peak concert season — hiking up Red Rocks to see world-class performers or finding your favorite local band playing on a local patio.

All the pool parties, backyard barbecues and evening block parties call for tunes blasting out of

a boom box.

Summer is also when Americans take to the road, and the right music makes a long road trip a more transporting experience.

To help give your summer the best soundtrack possible, here are some album recommendations for various summertime scenarios. The first four picks are for the day and latter four for night, so you should be covered ‘round the clock.

Backyard barbecues — Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment — “Surf” One of the best parts about summer is spending time outside with friends and family, and if you can add food to the mix, what could be better?

Chicago’s Donnie Trumpet brings jazz, funk, R&B and hip-hop together in one place, and the result is pure sonic sunshine.

“Surf” is the album I play when I want to be happy. It captures in audio form what it feels like to laugh with your friends and shrug off the cares of the world for a little while.

In short, it’s a summer afternoon.

Roadtripping — Bob Seger — “Greatest Hits” With that gravelly voice and Detroit rock sound, Bob Seger’s music was made for the open road. Since travelers take to the roads en masse in the summer, that means Seger

should be playing in every car as they hit the highway.

My parents took my brother and I camping in the mountains a couple times every summer growing up, and Seger’s music was in consistent rotation during those trips.

Songs like “Against the Wind” and “Like A Rock” are perfect matches for tires spinning and the country passing by the window.

Pool day — Stan Getz and João Gilberto — “Getz/Gilberto” One of the most popular jazz albums of all time, saxophonist Stan Getz joined Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto and songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim to make music so sun-drenched it should come with sunscreen.

Standards like “The Girl from Ipanema” are quintessential layout music, and the whole album is smooth and relaxing. It hits just the right notes for a day on the beach at Bear Creek Lake or your apartment complex pool.

Stuck in traffic — The Hold Steady — “Boys and Girls in America” Summer can’t be all fun and games.

Most of us have to work, and that means enduring some kind of commute in the baking heat while enviously watching kids have fun.

The right music can save any situation, and The Hold Steady’s mix of bar rock and Bruce Springsteen-style anthems makes the mundane seem epic. Even something as aggravating as traffic.

Songs like “Stuck Between Stations” will have you raising your fists in jubilation, and “Southtown Girls” is a great singalong for hollering out your window. Trust me, I’ve done it.

Block party — Carly Rae Jepsen — “E•MO•TION” Summer nights are the best part of the season — it cools down enough so gathering outside isn’t an invitation to sunstroke, and you have summer stars to watch.

That feeling of freedom, of warmth and friendship that accompanies those great

‘Failure is just quitting too soon’ That which does not kill me makes me stronger — Nietzsche Most of us have been taught that failure is the worst. A very bad thing to be avoided at all costs. The downside of this viewpoint is more stress, less creativity and lower self-esteem. Our entire education system is based upon the “right” answer — of which there is only one.

We’re cultured from a very young age that failure is bad: It means we don’t have the “right stuff” or we aren’t smart enough.

Many give up and quit because of this errant thinking. In reality, “failure” is just quitting too soon.

During my recovery from a severe brain injury, I failed often — hundreds of times a day. I never considered this to be a bad thing; it was all part of the process.

As my brain came back online I considered everything to be good. The ability to think and reason once again was terrific.

Even my “bad” days were good because I could once again tell the difference. This is when I realized it’s all good and everything we encounter can make us better, stronger and wiser.

I developed Business Aikido to share what I learned and help others become more effective and creative in their workplace and personal lives. Here are few key items that can be learned from “failure:” You’re doing something: Ideas are safe and flow through our minds throughout the day. To bring something into the physical world requires a commitment and numerous iterations and refinements. Trial and error. When embarking on a new endeavor you will

“fail,” oftentimes on a frequent basis.

Nothing was ever created perfectly the first time.

There are always improvements and new ideas. This is an integral part of life.

The only way to truly fail is to quit. Instead of viewing life as black/white, begin viewing it as a ceaseless spectrum of colors and opportunities. If it doesn’t work exactly as you envisioned, learn from the experience and improve upon it. Take the next step.

Everything is for your benefit: Failure is just success that stopped too soon. Develop the mindset that everything you encounter is helping you achieve your goal. The obvious little successes along the way are easy to accept and use as impetus to keep moving forward. It’s more unfamiliar to view those actions that don’t yield the desired results as positive. But they are. You just discovered something that didn’t work and with a little self-reflection and analysis can learn many new avenues to pursue in moving forward. Take a moment to look at what happened from a new viewpoint and begin anew.

Your personal power increases: When things don’t go exactly as envisioned, this helps you build your personal power and belief in yourself. You regain your center and stop listening to input from other naysayers. Everything you see in your life started out as an idea in someone’s mind. If you research the everyday items you see and use, you’ll Bott continues on Page 17

in one place, and wrings the romance out of every backyard observation. It turns every house into a story.

CLaRkE’S aLBuM Of THE WEEk Selection: Tegan and Sara’s “Love You to Death,” released on Warner Brothers.

Review: The brightest and most layered pop album of the year thus far, sisters Tegan and Sara Quin deliver wry social discourse over wildly danceable beats. All the songs are sharply written meditations on the messiness of adult relationships, and the whole album flies by at just around 31 minutes. You’ll want to hit play again as soon as it ends.

Favorite song: “Boyfriend” Most romantic lyrics: “Now I wanna write a love song Even though you never ever ask me for one Write you a letter, send sweet poems Ask for forgiveness, tell you I was wrong.”

-from “U-turn”

summer block parties, is joyously encapsulated in Carly Rae Jepsen’s “E•MO•TION.” The album captures everything great about pop — danceable rhythms, singalong-ready choruses and repeatability. Her music sounds great coming from a boom box and provides the perfect background tunes. You may just find yourself dancing to it.

Evening at home — Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band — “The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Shuffle” Despite how much we may want it to be otherwise, every summer night can’t be full of action and activity. Sometimes you’re just stuck at home, trying to stay cool and pass the time.

The Boss understands this better than most, and before he decided to escape the city on “Born to Run,” he made “The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle.” The album brims with stories about people stuck

City parties — Kanye West — “Graduation” Certain music sounds better surrounded by city lights and the incessant hubbub of chatter — the kind of music you can play going down the 16th Street Mall on a busy Saturday night to keep you moving.

Kanye West’s third album, “Graduation,” is his sleekest work and tailormade for blaring out of car windows in time with the pulsation of neon lights. It features party anthems like “Good Life” and “Stronger” as well as club bangers like “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and “Barry Bonds.” Electricity courses through this music, and it’ll run through you as well.

In the car with friends — Japandroids — “Celebration Rock” If there’s a theme running through my selections, it’s that most of this music goes with spending time with friends. And that’s fitting, because summer, perhaps more than any other season, encourages spending time with others.

Japandroids’ seminal “Celebration Rock” is the thunderous, epic soundtrack for car rides with friends. The kinds of rides full of memories of past adventures, plans for futures ones, and that honesty you can only have with the people who know you best.

“Remember saying things like ‘we’ll sleep when we’re dead’/And thinking this feeling was never gonna end,” asks singer Brian King in the song “Younger Us.” Feelings like this are the ones we chase all summer long — and catch all too briefly.

But there’s always next summer.

stuck with.

Hyde has owned probably 40 motorcycles through the years, he said, and currently owns 14 favorites. They’re primarily Triumphs — he has never owned a Harley-Davidson — and he has a particular fondness for Unit Triumphs between 1963 and 1970.

He will often take his bikes to shows so other people can learn about the vintage bikes.

“It’s a chance to share,” Hyde said.

“It’s not every day you see a vintage motorcycle on the city streets.”

Hyde has been “tinkering” with motorcycles since the late 1970s. For the past seven years, he has been involved with Old World Bikes.

“The whole experience has been something I’ve gravitated to,” Hyde said. “Buy, fix, ride and show. That, in a nutshell, is what I like to do.”

A family affair for many Buschbacher, 36, agrees that one of the biggest joys of owning a motorcycle is being able to work on it. He bought the bike he currently owns, a 1991 Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster, in 2013.

Buschbacher bought it wrecked, and it took him about six months to complete the fix-up.

Buschbacher prefers Harley-Davidsons because he likes the look of them and the ride they give. Plus, he added that his older half-brother and his dad always liked Harley-Davidsons.

“I grew up on the back of his,” Buschbacher said of his dad’s bike. He started riding on his own as a teenager.

“It’s kind of a family thing.”

Similarly, Buford’s dad got her and her sisters into riding motorcycles.

“He loved the fact that all his girls were riding,” Buford said. “A family that rides together, stays together.”

Buford’s dad, Bob Buford, died of cancer in mid-April of 2006. He was “quite a legend in the biker community,” she said. “Everyone knew him and

loved him. We lost the best one in the pack that day.”

Bob Buford’s bike, named Old No.7, a 1994 Heritage Softail Harley-Davidson, was also well-known. On her wedding day on May 6, 2006, Buford rode Old No.7 from the church to the wedding reception.

“It was a rough day,” she said, “but I felt like he was with me when (I) made that ride.”

One ride that Lakewood resident Zak Wagner, 25, does every year is the “Love Thy Chopper.” It takes place mid-July, he said, and is a charity ride that benefits Wilderness On Wheels, a volunteer-run nonprofit that provides access to nature for people with disabilities.

“It’s a cool organization,” Wagner said.

A lifestyle about people and fun Wagner has owned his motorcycle — a 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster — for six years. He has met a lot of people through owning a bike — many of whom he probably wouldn’t have if he didn’t ride, he said.

“The people who come along with it is my favorite part,” Wagner said.

Michele Veith also enjoys the people. “It’s kind of like an underground family,” she said.

Veith, 38, has been riding for about 20 years. She owns one motorcycle — a 1971 Yamaha CS3 — and four scooters. Veith has been part of an all-girl scooter club based in Denver called Mods ‘n Knockers for about 10 years.

“We work on our own bikes and hang out together,” she said. “We had been good friends for a long time, then just gave ourselves a name.”

Although based in Denver, one of the group’s default rides — which the girls do a lot, Veith said — is to Coors Brewery for a tour or the Buffalo Rose in Golden. She also attends scooter and motorcycle rallies.

Veith usually rides one of her scooters for short trips, but also has a lot of fun riding her motorcycle.

“It’s not just a mode of transportation,” she said. “It’s a lifestyle.”

Cool off this summer with watercolor exhibition Arvada displays almost 200 pieces from watercolor societies

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The best escape from the summer heat is water, and the Arvada Center is overflowing with talent during its diverse watercolor exhibition.

The Summer of Watercolor is on display at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Aug. 28. The show is comprised of the 41st Annual Western Federation of Watercolor Societies Exhibition, in the Main Gallery, and the 25th Annual Colorado Watercolor Society State Exhibition, in the Upper and Theatre Galleries.

The Summer of Watercolor exhibit has been in the works for about five years, according to exhibition coordinator Kristin Bueb, and features more than 195 paintings in its three galleries. The one rule is that all pieces must be watercolor or watermedia on paper.

“It’s very prestigious for these artists to be on display here at the center,” said Gene Youngmann, project manager with the Western Federation. “There is so much variety in our works — everything from stills and landscapes to florals and abstracts.”

The Western Federation Exhibition features the works of artists from the 12 Federation societies, including the Arizona Watercolor Association, Texas Watercolor Society and Watercolor Society of Oregon. There were 1,065 paintings entered by 517 artists, according to Youngmann. Juror Sterling Edwards selected 134 paintings for the exhibit.

“A lot of our artists enter the running for this show, but we have around 16 for whom this is their first exhibit,” Youngmann said. “A regional show like this is a benchmark for young artists as they move up in the art world.”

The 25th Annual Colorado Watercolor Society State Exhibition features about 65 paintings from some of the state’s

EVENTS AND EXHIBITION DISCUSSIONS Exhibition tour and discussion: Juror Sterling Edwards will lead a tour and discussion.

best watercolor artists. Gale Webb was the juror for this exhibition.

“We only do three or four shows a year, and this exhibit was open to any Colorado artist,” said Gary Nichols, co-chair of the Watercolor Society. “Any time you’re in a juried show, it’s a feather in the artist’s cap. And to be selected by jurors like this, it’s certainly validation.”

Estes Continued from Page 1

A few remnants of this travel culture remain on the avenue, but one of Colfax’s historic motels is reopening after more than 50 years of disuse.

The Estes Motel will open at its new home at the Lakewood Heritage Center, 801 S. Yarrow St., at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 11, as part of the Lakewood’s annual Rockin’ Block Party event. Visitors will be able to tour the motel and learn more about the era and Colfax.

“We opened our last building here at the Heritage Center in 2009, so this is a big deal for us,” said Jeffrey Murray, Heritage Center administrator. “It’s a very humble building, but if we didn’t save buildings like these, they would all be wrecked and we wouldn’t be able to show how our grandparents and great grandparents lived.”

The restoration has been in the works since 2010, when the motel was first moved to the Heritage Center, according to Caitlin Lewis, museum curator. The motel was donated to the Heritage Center by Michael

Bettmann, owner of Colorado Frame Company who remains the owner of the property that was once the site of the Estes Motel.

The Estes fits into the story of tourism and commerce along West Colfax Avenue in the 1950s that the Heritage Center tells, Lewis said.

“The Estes is really representative of the era,” she said. “It all ties together with our focus on the hub that Colfax was during the time.”

The two-room, two-carport motel, constructed in 1948-1949, was originally owned

by Clifford and Christine Estes, according to information provided by the city. It sat on their property on the south side of Colfax just east of Kipling in what was then a rural area of unincorporated Jefferson County. A night’s stay at the motel cost $4 to $8.

At this time, Colfax was a narrow, twolane avenue known as Highway 40, Murray explained. It hit its tourism peak in 1952 with 37 motels, as well as gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and other businesses.

“There was this window when train usage was declining and transcontinental flight wasn’t available to everyone yet,” Murray said, “and that’s when the car was king.”

A journey into the future that never was Colorado Railroad Museum to have inaugural steampunk event

allows creativity to thrive and whole story lines to emerge from one panoptic hinge — steam-powered.”

The idea for the Steampunk at the Station event came about in January. The museum intends to make it an annual event.

“Steampunk should bring out the fun and creative nature of this romantic and historic time period,” she said. “From palmsized mechanical toys to steam-driven machines as large as automobiles, gadgets are one of the creative aspects of the fans of steampunk.”

People are encouraged to bring a gadget or wear steampunk attire to the event. In fact, that is one of the best aspects of steampunk, Ghear said.

“Whether your style is the explorer, the tinkerer or neo-Victorian aesthete, steampunk attire encompasses all ages, professions and cultures into an imaginary voyage into the future that never was,” Ghear said.

Steampunk fashion generally includes goggles, gears, elaborate hats and corsets, she added.

Music for steampunk is all over the map, Bartels said, but for the Steampunk at the Station concert, live music will be performed by Colorado Springs band Hydrogen

The evening concert takes place from 6:30-9 p.m. and will feature a beer garden, food trucks and a performance by Hydrogen Skyline. Because the events are separate, the museum will close for a half hour between the daytime and evening events, but will reopen the gates at 5:30 p.m. for the concert.

The concert is a 21-and-over event. Tickets cost $20 each, and although people are encouraged to dress in steampunk attire, no costume discount is offered for the concert.

Tickets can be purchased at the door, but it is recommended to purchase tickets online in advance, as the event is limited to 300 ticketholders.

Skyline.

The band’s roots are in steampunk, husband and wife musicians Norman and Asher Hittle said. But nowadays, they are more commonly known for indie-pop/progressive rock styles.

“We really love the steampunk communities and playing for them,” Asher Hittle said. The performance will be a “return to something we really love.”

Hydrogen Skyline’s concert will be a two-hour set of a variety of their music.They will perform all the songs on their album, “PHOTOVOLTAIC,” which will be released later this summer.

The musicians are excited to play Steampunk at the Station, especially because of the railyard location.

“It’s incredibly unique,” Norman Hittle said. “We don’t have the opportunity to play a place like that very often.”

And, of course, daytime admission includes a ride on the museum’s Locomotive No. 491 — the largest operating steam locomotive in the Western hemisphere — which will be 88 years old on June 15.

Steampunk at the Station will “play into the creative nature of people,” Bartels said.

“Anything goes. It’s a chance to have fun.”

The Colorado Railroad Museum, 17155 W. 44th Ave. in Golden, is hosting two events on June 18 for its inaugural Steampunk at the Station. Entry to the events is sold separately.

Gizmos and gadgets and steam-powered mega-machines.

The Colorado Railroad Museum is inviting people to take a voyage to the fantastical world of steampunk at its first Steampunk at the Station on June 18.

“It seemed like a natural fit,” said Carolyn Bartels, event manager of the railroad museum in Golden. “Nothing is more symbolic (of) this fantastic phenomenon than the roaring of our big, beautiful locomotives.”

Steampunk is the subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th century industrial steam-powered machinery, Bartels said. It is thought to honor Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor who lived from 1856-1943.

Influences on steampunk include 19th century science-fiction authors such as Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” and “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” and H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” and “War of the Worlds.”

“Imaginary airships, mad scientists, adventure and corsets — all compiled into one theme,” said Danielle Ghear, the railroad museum’s resident steampunk expert and steampunk event expediter. “What’s not to love?”

The concept took off in the 1960s and 1970s with the cyberpunk culture when technology was emerging, Bartels said, and was coined steampunk as a variant of cyberpunk in the 1980s. Then there’re a variety of categories — Western steampunk, dieselpunk, clockworkpunk and Victorian steampunk, to name a few.

“Because steampunk is a world-encompassing theme set in an alternate universe, the possibilities are endless,” Ghear said. “It

Take a spin: Bike to Work Day June 22

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

TO FIND OUT MORE

Bike to Work Day has grown by leaps and bounds over the past several years, and organizers are expecting an even bigger turnout this year.

The free annual event falls on Wednesday, June 22, and will feature stations all over the metro area, contests and environmentally friendly fun.

“I love that for at least one day, the streets are more for people than for cars,” wrote Rachel Hultin, an officer with the Wheat Ridge Active Transportation Advisory Team, in an email interview. “The dynamic is different on Bike to Work Day. You can see the camaraderie as people on bikes congregate at stoplights and pass one another on the street.”

According to information provided

by Katy Burley, communications coordinator with the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Denver’s Bike to Work Day is the second-largest in the country, right behind San Francisco. Last year, 248 stations and events celebrated riders who collectively biked 603,613 miles. There were more than 32,000 participants last year, 37 percent of whom were first-timers.

“I did my first Bike to Work Day in 2009,” said Blake Feik, executive vice president of North Valley Bank in Thornton. “I was training for Ride the Rockies at the time, and thought it was a cool idea to bike to work and save gas.

I started doing it regularly and setting goals for myself.”

Throughout the day, businesses, organizations and local governments will

“We, of course, are encouraging all residents and businesses to participate as well as our employees,” wrote Stacie Oulton, Lakewood public information officer, in an email interview. “At the end of the day, Lakewood employees are also invited to join the public event of a group ride to the Westfax Brewery

that everyone should learn to recognize in themselves and others.

Alzheimer’s risks are higher among women, AfricanAmericans and Hispanics African-Americans are about twice as likely as whites to have Alzheimer’s or another dementia.

Hispanics are about 1 1/2 times as likely. Additionally, more than two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women.

Early detection matters More than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s disease, but only about half have been diagnosed. Additionally, 45 percent of seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or their caregivers are aware of the diagnosis. Diagnosis is often delayed due to low public awareness of the early signs and general misperceptions about Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Alzheimer’s cannot be prevented, but adopting healthy habits can reduce your risk of cognitive decline and contribute to brain health Staying mentally active, engaging in regular physical activity and eating a healthy diet benefits your body and your brain. There is also some evidence people may benefit from staying socially engaged with friends, family and the community.

become aware of the countless iterations it took to get it to its current design. This happened because the inventor maintained his vision and grew his personal power to keep moving forward, regardless of what others were saying. Self-belief is an extremely powerful force.

It’s all about the journey: The popular saying that life is what happens between your plans is so true. Having a goal is important because it gives your life direction and a sense of purpose. Without this vision you drift aimlessly, and typically have a feeling of being unful-

Alzheimer’s is the most expensive disease in the country It remains one of the most critical public health issues in America, costing taxpayers $18.3 million each hour.

The total national cost of caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is estimated at $236 billion a year, of which $160 billion is the cost to Medicare and Medicaid alone. As the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s grows, the total annual payments for health care, longterm care and hospice care for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias are projected to increase to more than $1 trillion in 2050.

Caregiving can become anyone’s reality The enormity of the Alzheimer’s crisis is felt not only by the more than 5 million people in the U.S. living with the disease today, but also by their more than 15 million caregivers, friends and family. According to the 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, it is estimated that 250,000 children and young adults between ages 8 and 18 provide help to someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. In addition, 23 percent of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia caregivers are “sandwich generation” caregivers — meaning that they care not only for an aging parent, but also for underage children.

The Alzheimer’s Association works with caregivers to enhance care and support for all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The central office in Denver and six Colorado regional offices around the state provide a full range of information and support for those affected and their caregivers.

Information about programs and services is also available through the association’s website at alz.org/co, and through the 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900. The association provides assistance to more than 310,000 callers KL-111.indd each year, offering translation services in more than 200 languages.

filled. Once your vision and purpose are established, you now have a sense of purpose. By sharing your gifts and talents you are contributing to improve life here on Planet Earth.

Same Thinking = Same Results: Einstein’s famous quote — “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results” — is so true.

If you aren’t happy with how your life is going you need to change your thinking. Only you have the power to do this. If you want to see evidence of your thinking, just look at how your life is working.

Are you happy and excited to start your day? Do you have a sense of purpose? Is there a song in your heart and dance in your step? If so,

keep thinking the thoughts you have and maintain your vision. You’re definitely on the right track.

If not, take a moment to reflect on what isn’t working to your desire and make the necessary changes. Write out a few new goals and read these many times throughout the day.

Give these new thoughts a lot of airtime until they become automatic.

There are always challenges when cycling, including motorists and lack of paths. But Way to Go, a regional partnership between the Denver Regional Council of Governments and a dedicated group of transportation management associations, has resources to help riders plan their routes.

“My biggest challenge as a rider is the 40 blocks I have to ride along Pecos Street,” said John Orr, an employee with the City of Thornton. “I like participating in Bike to Work Day and joining the party.”

The community, physical and emotional benefits of cycling are all among the reasons riders return year after year.

“When communities prioritize and support safe, connected options to walk and ride a bike, they are investing in the whole health of the community,” Hultin wrote. “Physical, mental, economic, environmental health are all tied to active transportation, and people feel more connected to the people and the places where they live, work and play.

Valor coach says goodbye after title

Jim Benton

OVERTIME

Mallory Pugh, forward for the United States women’s national soccer team, kicks a warm-up goal in preparation for the US vs.

Japan game. The game took place last Thursday in front of a sold out crowd at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. After some back and forth scoring, the game ended in a tie, 2-2. Photos by Conner Davis

Local standouts take field for national team U.S. women’s soccer squad faces Japan in Commerce City

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mallory Pugh and Lindsey Horan, two local soccer standouts, highlighted the match — an exhibition game known as a friendly — between the national teams of the United States and Japan on June 4 before a sellout crowd at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

Horan, a Golden High School graduate and a second-half substitute, scored in the 89th minute as the U.S. overcame a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead. But, what appeared to be a comeback victory turned into a 3-3 tie against a disciplined, pressing, ball-control Japanese team.

Japan, competing with only 10 players because captain Japanese captain Yuki Ogimi was ejected for a second yellow card, scored in stoppage time on a U.S. defensive breakdown to gain the tie.

“It was awesome,” said Horan, who is nursing a hip injury but was OK’d to be among the 18 players on the roster. “You want to come into the game and impact it. For the team it was a great goal but in the grand scheme of things, we tied.”

Pugh, who graduated May 18 from Mountain Vista high school, proved to be an 18-year-old that can compete with some of the world’s best players.

She started and played the entire game.

Pugh took a chip from Crystal Dunn, beat a Japanese defender, and then with good vision, found Alex Morgan with a quick pass. Morgan scored the first USA goal in the 27th minute and Pugh gained her team-leading sixth assist for the national team in 2016.

In the 84th minute, Pugh was pulled down while chasing a loose ball, which set up a free kick. Morgan scored her second goal of the game to tie the score at 2-2.

“It was amazing,” Pugh said. “Knowing that we were playing a good opponent

It’s nice to go out on top like Peyton Manning or John Elway after Super Bowl wins.

While he’s not retiring, Valor Christian baseball coach Keith Wahl is leaving on top.

Two days after his team won the Class 4A state baseball championship, Wahl announced he was

resigning.

Wahl told his team the morning of May 31 and later that day Valor Christian issued a news release stating that Wahl had accepted a job as athletic director at Briarwood Christian, a K-12 school in Birmingham, Alabama.

“I want to thank everyone at Valor for my time over the past nine years,” Wahl said in the statement.

Wahl was also an assistant athletic director at Valor. He has been at Valor since the school opened in 2007 and he leaves after compiling a 127-61 record with six league baseball championships and one state title.

“We are very thankful for the years of coaching, teaching and ministry that coach Wahl has given to our students at Valor Christian,” said Athletic Director Jamie Heiner in the same statement. “He has built a strong foundation for future success in the baseball program and we look forward to building on that foundation in the coming years.”

New Mountain Vista AD Shawn Terry is the new athletic director at Mountain Vista.

Terry was the AD at Northridge High School in Greeley last year and takes over at Vista for Pat McCabe.

Before assuming duties at Northridge, Terry was activities director at William Chrisman in Independence, Missouri, and was the AD/assistant principal at Leavenworth High School in Kansas.

After an assist to teammate Alex Morgan, Mallory Pugh celebrates the first United States goal of the game. At almost 30 minutes into the first half, Pugh passed to Morgan and Morgan hit the shot, putting the US at a deficit of only one goal. This was Pugh’s sixth assist this season. here and with my teammates around me and my friends and family was really cool.”

Japan and the U.S. were finalists in the past two World Cups and the 2012 Olympics. Japan won the 2011 World Cup, while the U.S. claimed the 2012 Olympic and 2015 World Cup championships.

That was part of the reason that the match sold out in a little more than 10 minutes and 18,572 fans witnessed the game, cheering almost every time the U.S. made a rush into the offensive zone.

Morgan was amazed with Pugh and the crowd.

“I feel like Mal is always Mal, the same every day,” Morgan said. “She never looks nervous to me. She is always true to herself. I love that part of Mal. She always looks like she has a lot of confidence when she takes on other players.

“I don’t know if we have ever sold out a game (as) quickly as we did with this game. The stadium was awesome and Soccer continues on Page 21

Lakewood resident in top 10 Lakewood resident Doug Wherry, who owns and operates Jake’s Academy junior elite golf school at the Lone Tree Golf Club, finished tied for sixth in the Colorado Senior Open June 1-3 at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club.

Wherry, the 1981 state golf champion at Cherry Creek High School, had rounds of 69, 74 and 70 to finish with a 2-under par 211 total to win $1,700.

During the three rounds, the former All-American at Texas-El Paso had 12 birdies, 33 pars and nine bogeys. Four of the bogeys came during his 2-over-par second round.

Help wanted sign at Arapahoe Arapahoe is looking for a new baseball coach.

Luke Muller, an Arapahoe graduate, told athletic director Steve Sisler that the 2016 season would be his last as Warriors head coach because he wanted to spend more time with his family.

In the past nine seasons, Arapahoe has gone 100-81 under Muller, 36.

helped us get through that 2-0 deficit. I have to give credit to the fans.”

Pugh and Horan were two of three Colorado youth players on the 24-player USA team that must be reduced to 18 for the Olympics, which begin Aug. 3 in Rio de Janeiro. With only 18 players allowed to suit up for the June 2 game, Valor Christian graduate and defender Jaelene Hinkle was one of the six who did not play.

Here is a look at the three Colorado players.

Jaelene Hinkle Hinkle, 23, is a 2010 graduate of Valor Christian. She played youth soccer for Colorado Real, and has been part of the U.S. National program for the past six years. She played at Texas Tech and has been playing professional soccer for the Western New York Flash. She made her debut on the U.S. Women’s National Team last October.

She is proud to be representing Colorado

on a national platform.

“Two clubs come to mine: Real Colorado and Rush Colorado soccer,” she said.

“Even when I was younger, those were two big soccer clubs and the directors of both soccer clubs have really done a lot taking Colorado soccer to the next level, getting kids at a young age to start playing so that there is more time to develop and make them better soccer players.

“It’s a really big step in the right direction. It says a lot about Colorado’s direction, dedication and commitment to soccer and developing world-class players.”

Lindsey Horan Horan, 22, graduated from Golden High School, but didn’t play prep soccer and instead played for the Colorado Rush.

After graduation in 2012 she turned down an offer to play at the University of North Carolina and signed a professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

Her contract with Paris Saint-Germain was terminated after three seasons so she could return to the United States and she signed with the Portland Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League in January.

She was called up to the national team late

in 2015.

“It was probably one of the most difficult things I’ve done,” Horan said about signing a pro contract to play in Paris at a young age. “Playing overseas, playing in a new culture, and in the beginning just being away from home, were very difficult for me.

“It just game me the experience at playing at a high level, being in a new country and learning things on my own. That was an experience you couldn’t get anywhere else. Going to college is new and different but going overseas was a whole new world.

Then on the soccer side you are playing with so many international players and just learning from them and learning from all their experience gave me a lot.”

Horan knows it will be tough to make the 18-player team for the Rio Olympics.

“Everyone here is competing for a spot and picking the roster will be semi soon,” she said. “Anytime I was training with Rush, my goal was to make the national team.

Everything I did was to fulfill that dream I had.”

Mallory Pugh Pugh, 18, elected not to play for Mountain Vista this spring and instead trained

with the Real U16 boys Academy team.

However, she was on the roster, sat on the Vista bench and supported the team.

The Golden Eagles played in the state championship game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on May 18, falling 2-1 to Grandview. Pugh returned and got to play at the venue with the U.S. Women’s National Team with a chance to make the Olympic roster.

“I didn’t play in the state championship and it was weird sitting on the sidelines,” she said. “Being here with the National Team had an impact and being in my hometown was special.

“It was tough sitting on the sidelines for high school games. Sitting on the sidelines of any game is tough but in the back of my mind I was thinking about getting better and the best environment for me was with the boys academy team. That’s what I did to prepare me.”

Pugh took a step toward earning a spot on the Olympic team with a solid game against Japan on June 2.

“I always thought my freshman year about the 2016 Olympics,” she said. “I wondered if I could ever make that, I’m still wondering and driving to do that.”
