MY NAME IS

RON KIEFEL

President/general manager of Wheat Ridge Cyclery About me I was born in Lakewood, and my family moved to Wheat Ridge in 1975. I was 15. My wife Meegan and I have been married for 15 years. We have three children and one granddaughter. Everybody still lives nearby in Jefferson County, so we see each other often. Enhancing life through bikes My first bike race was when I was 16. It was a circuit race at the Denver Tech Center. I crashed 300 feet before the finish line, but I loved the sport so I stuck with it. I raced for 20 years — professional races in Europe. Most notable, the Tour of Italy, and I raced in the Tour de France seven times. I won multiple national titles and an Olympic bronze medal in 1984. I retired from racing when I was 35. It was just time for new challenges. My dad bought Wheat Ridge Cyclery in 1973 and ran it. Then, my brother-in-law Gil McCormick ran it for 14 years, and I took over in 2007. In the bike industry, we get to sell fun. Our passion is to enhance life through cycling. There’s no place like home I’m getting ready for a new bike race and music festival called the Colorado Classic, which took place Aug. 10-13. It went through Wheat Ridge on Saturday. I got to be a VIP driver, so I followed the

race, and shared insider race stories with VIP guests. The cycling community is very diverse. Cycling allows for all different sizes and shapes to enjoy it. There are a lot of physical benefits from cycling, too, because of the exercise, and mentally, it relieves a lot of stress. Also, you get to go to a lot of fun and exciting places. Especially here in Colorado — there’s a lot of places to explore. I’ve traveled the world. I lived in Italy, and also traveled throughout Western Europe. I’ve also been to China, Africa, Nepal and South America. But it’s always great to come home. We have so many great things here in Colorado.

Denver resident dies in tubing accident Mother dies while saving son in Clear Creek BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Denver mother died on Aug. 13 as she rescued her son from swift water in Clear Creek in Golden. Amber Raye Presson, 31, was pronounced dead on the scene. Her son, 11, was not physically injured. The mother and son entered Clear Creek on innertubes west of 6th Avenue shortly after 1 p.m. Golden Police report that the boy’s tube capsized and he was tossed into the water. Presson went after him, but the two were again swept downstream. Presson was able to resurface once and screamed for help, but was sucked back underwater. Golden Police report that Presson most likely hit her head on a rock at that time, and was knocked unconscious. The son started yelling for help and just east of 6th Avenue, bystanders were able to pull both mother and son out of the water. They started CPR on Presson until Golden Police and Park Rangers arrived shortly afterwards and continued to administer aid. Presson was declared dead on the scene. The county coroner will be examining the body to determine the exact cause of death. The son was uninjured, and staying with relatives. This marks the second tubing-related fatality on Clear Creek this year. On July 21, Claudia Cano, 48, of El Paso, Texas, died after a tubing accident in Clear Creek in Golden while on vacation in the area.

impact our commission. I think it’s only fair for agents to reduce their commission rate when they don’t have to share their commission. That way, sellers can share in the listing agent’s good fortune — the agent makes more total commission, the seller nets more in the sale of their home. This is what anyone should consider a win/win situation. But fairness also enters the picture when we are negotiating multiple offers from multiple agents. I feel it’s only fair to let every agent know exactly where their offer stands so that no one is blindsided in the process of obtaining the best offer for our sellers. That means letting each buyer’s agent know what your current highest offer is, so their buyer

has the opportunity to increase their offer. This is standard operating procedure at Golden Real Estate, and I am frequently thanked by agents for managing multiple offers in this manner. (This practice also addresses the Rotarian tenet of “building goodwill and better friendships.”) When a real estate transaction is conducted following the principles and practices I’ve outlined here, the end result is a sale which was beneficial to all parties. The agents of Golden Real Estate may not all be Rotarians, but I can say with confidence that we all practice the Four-Way Test in the way we deal with the public and our colleagues. To me, it’s the only way to be.

Golden Real Estate Receives National Recognition

America's Top 35 real estate firms based on service excellence are being honored for exceptional customer service satisfaction with a QE Award (pronounced "Quie") "that measures and independently verifies excellence in the delivery of the highest levels of customer satisfaction and service quality in real estate in North America," according to Quality Service Certification, Inc. (QSC), creators of the award. The 2017 QE Award recognizes the Top 5 Large Companies, the Top 10 Midsize Companies and the Top 20 Small Companies, spanning 22 states, from Florida to California and Minnesota to Texas, and includes some of the most respected independent and wellknown national and regional brand names.

Golden Fine Arts Festival

This annual event is happening in downtown Golden this Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 19-20. It rivals the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in the quality and diversity of artists — and usually has better weather!

Golden Real Estate, Inc. was named one of the top 20 small companies — one of only four brokerages in the state of Colorado to be so honored. The 2017 QE Award is based upon the results of an independent survey limited solely to buyers and sellers who were in a real estate transaction that actually closed with participating real estate companies from January through December 2016. Quality Service Certification, Inc. and Leading Research Corporation administer the survey process to ensure that every past customer is surveyed, preventing agents or the company from interference or influence in any way.

Kids get free backpacks from JFS BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

t was a dark and stormy day on Aug. 7, and the start of the last full week of summer for Jeffco students. Which meant families all over the county were getting the necessary supplies for a successful school year. But school supply shopping quickly adds up. As they have been all summer, Jewish Family Service stepped up to help, braving a steady rain to distribute free backpacks filled with school supplies at the Belmar Library to soaked, but excited families. “It’s raining and you’re still here,” exclaimed Mei Wang as she picked up backpacks for two sons. “It’s so cool you’re doing this.” All summer long, Jewish Family Service’s Lunchbox Express program has been offering free boxed lunches

Susie Cook has been a volunteer with Jewish Family Services for a long time, and as a teacher, she is more than familiar with the many needs students face. “Seeing all the kids and helping them pick out books to read is my favorite part of all this,” she said. “I also love meeting other volunteers.” As families debated which color backpack to go with — blue seemed to be the most popular choice — the rain intensified, but that didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s spirits.

Fed Center land sale on hold till October HUD to consider potential uses of the land BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The sale of 59 acres owned by the federal government at the Denver Federal Center has been further delayed until at least Oct. 16, following a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge William Martinez on Aug. 8. In his ruling, Martinez ordered the GSA to refrain from selling the property through the online auction or to “otherwise dispose of the Surplus Property before Oct. 16, 2017.” Chad Hutson with the General Service Administration (GSA) said the group would continue to take bids for the auction, but had no further comment.

The land auction had initially been scheduled to close on July 27, but that deadline was later moved back to Sept. 8. The ruling comes just two weeks after the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless filed an injunction against the GSA on July 25 in the U.S. District Court to temporarily block any sale by the federal government of the land until the GSA provides the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) all the details of the property, and gives HUD a chance to determine if the land could be used for homeless services, said Cathy Alderman, the coalition’s vice president of communications and public policy. “We are pleased that Judge Martinez agreed with us that HUD’s original determination and subsequent affirmation about the property’s ‘unsuitability’ for homelessness assistance had been arbitrary and capricious,” said

John Parvensky, President and CEO of the Coalition. “We believe that the only logical conclusion that HUD can make in light of the evidence provided by GSA and CCH is that the property be deemed ‘suitable’ for development to assist the homeless.” The injunction was filed under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which requires federal agencies to identify and make available surplus federal property, such as buildings and land, for use by states, local governments and nonprofit agencies to assist homeless people. Under the order, HUD has agreed to reopen a review of its determination of “unsuitability” of the property for use for homeless assistance based on information provided by GSA and the Coalition regarding the environmental condition of the site. According to information provided by the Coalition, under the terms outlined in a joint motion filed by the Coalition and the U.S. attorney’s office, HUD has agreed to provide a new determination of suitability within 30 days of receiving information from the GSA and the Coalition. HUD will have until Sept. 14 to reconsider its initial determination of unsuitability and issue a written notice of its decision to the Coalition and GSA. If HUD determines that the property is suitable for use to assist the homeless, the Coalition intends to request that the site be transferred to the Coalition to provide a range of

supportive housing, health, employment, and other supportive services for the homeless in Lakewood. “We look forward to working with GSA and HUD in righting the injustice that restricting access to this property would have created for thousands of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Denver Metro Area,” Parvensky said. “With housing costs rapidly rising throughout the metro area, and land costs going skyhigh, this land provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to develop needed affordable housing and services to meet the needs of homeless families and individuals.” The 59 acres are zoned Mixed-Use Core Transit (M-C-T), which allows for high density residential and retail. The land was originally intended for the City of Lakewood to take ownership of, in exchange for building a new laboratory for the Federal Center, which houses 28 agencies in 44 buildings. The agreement was first put forth in October 2015, but residents’ concern over a lack of information and time to do the necessary groundwork led to negotiations ending in January 2016. The online auction of the land began May 10. Bidders must make a deposit of $95,000 to show they are serious about taking ownership of the land. As of Aug. 11, seven bids on the land had been submitted with the highest bid at $6 million and the lowest at $700,000.

It appears that Bowen was not wearing a seatbelt, said Trooper Josh Lewis, a spokesman with the Colorado State Patrol.

A full house for LPD’s newest member 13-year-old battling cancer sworn in on Aug. 9 BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ever since 13-year-old Trevor Kling saw police officers on television, that’s what he wanted to do. “I want to help the community I like most, and make it a better place for kids,” Kling said. He got a head start on a career in law enforcement on Aug. 9 when, after 14 months of chemotherapy for brain cancer, Kling joined the Lakewood Police force in a special ceremony hosted by Chief Dan McCasky. “You have shown so much courage, valor and dignity, and those are all aspects of what makes a good officer,” McCasky said before swearing Kling in. “You are everything we honor, and we don’t want you to ever underestimate the impact you’ve had on all of our lives.” It was standing room only for the swearing in ceremony at the department’s training room, with members of the department and city staff filling the seats and lining the aisles. “They sent out an all staff email to city employees about the ceremony,” said Meghan Ruble, marketing and promotions coordinator with the city’s community resources department.

Lakewood Police Chief Dan McCasky swears in 13-year-old Trevor Kling as an honorary police officer during a ceremony on Aug. 9. Kling is battling an aggressive form of brain cancer, but has always wanted to be a police officer, so the city’s police department arranged a ceremony for him. PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER “So many people wanted to come watch.” About two years ago, Kling was diagnosed Anaplastic Astrocytoma, a cancer of the brain. In his 14 months of chemotherapy and 34 radiation treatments, he’s only missed one day of school and has maintained a 3.87 GPA.

Golden to feature art at its finest 27th annual art show takes place Aug. 19 and 20 BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three years ago, a young couple came up to watercolor artist Janet Nunn’s booth at the Golden Fine Arts

Maple and Arapahoe streets in historic downtown Golden. The festival will feature more than 130 artists from Colorado as well as out of state, who are juried in a number of media categories, including 2D art, photography, sculpture, glass, fiber art, mixed media, jewelry, painting and ceramics. Nunn, of Lookout Mountain, has participated in the Golden Fine Arts Festival 10 times, and last year, she won Best of Colorado. She will have a variety of paintings, notecards, bookmarks and limited edition prints available for purchase. “Viewing art is just an uplifting thing,” said Nunn, who teaches classes at Foothills Art Center and Arvada Center, in addition to in other states. But what makes Golden’s art show even more exciting, she said, is the variety of people it attracts — everyone from new students attending the Colorado School of Mines and their families, to locals who have been coming every year. “You just never know who you’re going to see and get to visit with at the Golden Fine Arts Festival,” Nunn said. Pam Caidin of Arvada, a jeweler for nearly 40 years, travels across the U.S. to participate in various art shows. This is the second year she will be bringing her jewelry to the Golden Fine Arts Festival. Last year, she won Best of Jewelry. Before she started making jewelry, she came across a book called “Africa Adorned,” which was all about the jewelry worn by African tribes. “It seemed to me that jewelry is such an expression of being human,” she said. “And it is still a way of selfexpression.” Caidin, who works with mixed metals, will have a number of contemporary pieces, including earrings, necklaces, broaches, rings and bracelets. This is the fifth consecutive year Jesse Crock of Golden will be participating, and again he will be doing some live painting. On Saturday, he is planning on painting Boulder’s Flat Irons on a 3-foot-by-5-foot canvas. “Live painting is fun because it offers opportunities to have conversations with people,” Crock said. “It really helps them (spectators) connect with the painting and the artwork that I do.” Crock paints with acrylics and will be bringing a variety of his paintings

HEAD GAMES FROM PAGE 10

Head Games is the brainchild of Victoria Merchant, a Lakewood entrepreneur who was looking for a new kind of family space. “I originally thought about some kind of escape room, but then started getting into virtual reality,” Merchant explained. “A lot of people are looking for this kind of gaming experience, but accessibility is hard, because the machinery costs a lot.” The way the virtual reality gaming experience works at Head Games is gamers put on headsets that take the player into a three dimensional world where they can pick from a range of games, including Richie’s Plank, Superhot and Rec Room. There are games for all levels of players — adventure, first person shooters, and even a job simulator.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

The business’ chief operation officer, Nathan Hostetler, got involved after falling in love with virtual reality after just one experience with it. He helped to build the computers that power the three headsets Head Games currently has. “The experience is best when you come with friends,” he said. “You get to travel to different worlds, not as a lone traveler, but by working together with people you like.” Gamers can rent a headset for $35 an hour, or can rent the entire facility for parties. And Merchant is already working toward getting more headsets and games for customers. Head Games is also expanding into family nights and tournaments. Business has been steady, and word is spreading about the immersive environments players can sample. “Come with the highest expectations,” Merchant said. “We’ll still blow them away.”

VOICES Charlottesville showed an ugly and deadly part of America

HITTING HOME

Michael Alcorn

Let me just start this column by saying this is not the column I thought I was going to be writing this week. In fact, I even have a very nice little fluffy column half-written sitting on my desktop. And then Saturday happened. So, in case you didn’t hear what happened in Virginia, a group of protesters were scheduled to march in opposition to the removal of a statue honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee; that group, whether by design or accident, had its numbers swelled by white nationalists, neoNazis and Ku Klux Klan members. Police were anticipating between 2,000 and 6,000 demonstrators. Of course, this spawned a counter-protest,

with entirely predictable results: violent clashes between the two groups. Eventually, a state of emergency was declared. And then, a neo-Nazi from Ohio decided to drive his car through a group of counter-protesters, killing one young lady. This is the ugliest face of America, circa 2017. The protests in Ferguson and Baltimore a few years ago were ugly, too, but they were somewhat anonymous and, at least, had proximal causes that made sense. This, on Saturday, was a small (Roger Simon, the columnist, did the math and places the total number of adherents to this ideology at less than onetenth of 1 percent of all Americans) but, oddly emboldened group of deviants, misfits and

repugnant humans feeling like it was okay to walk the streets and proudly proclaim their hateful ideology. And, for me, the worst part of it was that so many of these troglodytes claim Christianity as part of their justification. So, I thought I should take a moment and educate anybody out there who thinks Christianity and white supremacy — or ANY supremacy — go together. In the book of Matthew, chapter 23, Jesus tells his followers “The greatest among you will be your servant.” Or again, in chapter 20, Jesus says “So the SEE ALCORN, P13

The merits of an open mind on immigration ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

s part of my effort to nourish my political soul this summer, I’m diving deep into immigration, both legal and otherwise. Thanks to those of you who’ve sent your thoughts and showered me with links to explore. One of these led me to a piece in Time magazine about a new “merit-based” immigration bill – the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act,

or RAISE – that would screen visa applicants using a point system. The article summarized a quiz that favors people between the ages of 26 and 30 with a doctoral degree, high English proficiency and a job offer with a hefty salary. Applicants with the highest number of points would go the front of the visa line. I took the quiz. And if I hadn’t been lucky enough to have been SEE DORAY, P13

SOUND ADVICE

ere are the skills and attitudes that are components of maturity. If I am mature: 1. I exercise considered judgment before acting on something important. I control my emotions and impulses (anger, revenge, lust, vindictiveness, hopefulness, etc.) in order to make the wisest choice. I use my experience and knowledge to guide me in making prudent decisions. 2. I act with integrity, and I’m honest, reliable and trustworthy. I keep my promises. I do the things I say I hold in high regard, and I avoid the things I say I don’t respect. My behavior matches my values. 3. I have made peace with my past, and am far less controlled by it. 4. I am able to learn from mistakes, so I’m way less likely to repeat the same errors or misjudgments again. 5. I have the ability to contain my reactions and be in charge of my behaviors. That includes both what I say and what I do. 6. I am able to keep a solid sense of my self even when I

am strongly criticized or praised. I am less swayed by popular opinion or the judgments of others. 7. I believe and trust in myself. 8. I accept Neil Rosenthal responsibility for the predicaments I get into, and I accept responsibility for getting myself out of bad situations. I understand that I am not entitled to special treatment or to be pardoned for my unwise actions. 9. I have stick-to-it-ness. I keep my commitments and I do not give up on important tasks, goals or relationships until all options have been exhausted. 10. I am responsible for making sure that when I use the statement “I love you,” that my behaviors match those words. If I say “I love you,” I am declaring that your feelings and desires are important to me, and that you

last will be first, and the first will be last.” Anybody claiming a birthright to be at the front of any line will find themselves at the back of the really important lines, if you know what I mean. And, one more: Luke, chapter 14, Christ says again, in the context of a different parable, “whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Not a lot of room in there for “supremacy” of any kind. This isn’t meant as a theology lesson, and I certainly am not in the business of using this column to try to convert anybody. This is, quite simply, a reminder that Charlottesville has NOTHING to do with any form of Christianity. It is a repugnant, vile, and despicable way of seeing the world that has no place in our churches, and no place in society. This, by the way, should in no way be seen as an endorsement of the so-called “antifa” movement, the counter-protesters on Saturday. Adherents of that movement were heard chanting, at rallies around the country on

born in the great U.S. state of Colorado, I wouldn’t be able to get here now. Answers in the test are assigned point values, and successful applicants need at least 30 points. I started out badly — zero points for age. I do have a graduate degree, but not in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM), and I had to select U.S. bachelor’s degree for only six points. I consider myself fluent in English so I scored 12 points there, but zero points for salary under $80,000. I haven’t won a Nobel prize (yet) or any other major international award. I haven’t won any Olympic medals. And I don’t plan on investing more than $1.8 million foreign currency for a new commercial enterprise in the U.S. I scored 18 points total and I don’t qualify to apply for a visa to the U.S. Digesting this sobering fact also raised some questions. If such moves are designed to protect strong American employment, why do only people who will take away high-paying jobs get to come here? I’ve read that there is a shortage of engineers and science professionals, so to me, it seems more logical to increase STEM education access for our own young women and

Sunday night, “Cops and Klan, hand in hand.” This, too, is a vile disrespecting of people who put on a Kevlar vest, put their blue uniform on top of it, and then go out in the streets at night to get shot at so that you and I don’t. In fact, I tweeted a picture of a black cop, in full gear, standing guard over the rally on Saturday. Not pictured was the same cop throwing up his lunch at that particular assignment. Our society — our civic life — is starting to lose all of its civility. We stand on opposite sides of the fence and throw or tweet verbal bricks over that fence, and the media stands by and hypes it all. And, as it appears to the world that the fabric of our society is fraying at the edges and tearing at the seams, groups like the one on Saturday start to feel like it’s safe to walk in broad daylight. It’s not healthy. Our collective demons are winning the day, and we are in dire need of someone capable of summoning the better angels of our nature. And fast.

men. Another question I have is about conflicting statements surrounding low-skill, low-wage workers who come here, particularly for hotels and resorts, as well as agriculture. Some states such as California and South Carolina rely on migrant farm workers – as do parts of Colorado – yet these people are specifically excluded in certain immigration exemptions. This just doesn’t make sense to me, unless it’s a punitive measure to punish states like California for their social policies. If you have any research, thoughts or considerations, please send them my way. And then there are the refugees and asylum seekers. Every time I step into a nice, hot shower or crawl into my nice, cool bed in my nice, safe home, I try to imagine living instead in a tent on the dirt in the rain, or in a violenceravaged village, fearing for my life and the lives of my family. But, of course, I can’t. I wish I knew of – or could contribute to – a solution.

But if I act as if your purpose in our relationship is to satisfy my needs, then I will feel hurt and resentful anytime you don’t fulfill that role. This is why romantic love only works well for grown-ups. 11. I am actively pursuing my goals, and I have the ability to delay instant gratification so I can concentrate on keeping my eyes on the ball. I can better distinguish between what’s important and what isn’t. 12. I give at least as much as I take, especially in my important relationships. 13. I soothe/nurture myself in healthy life-affirming ways, and I avoid unhealthy habits or dependencies. 14. I am willing to continuously grow and learn. I am consistently recreating myself and/or evolving. I am not arrogant, because I understand that my life is and always has been a work in progress. 15.

Personal skills help kids prepare for return to school LIFELONG LEARNING Esther Macalady

hese are the weeks that children begin school, some for the first time. Besides backpacks and supplies, teachers hope young children will bring along a few more things when they scamper off to school. First and foremost children will know how to put on their listening ears to focus.Teachers often will sing songs, say rhymes, and do motions with children to train them. At home we can help prepare, practice, and later use the same words and motions. Families can praise them for listening. Good listeners also use their eyes to look at the teacher’s face or others when they are speaking. While volunteering at school, families can note these techniques. They will be very useful at home and everyone will be pulling in the same direction.

make the classroom more pleasant. After using the bathroom do children wash their hands well with soap to the birthday song or some other little ditty? According to health professionals, this one habit significantly reduces flu and colds. Scheduling at least 9-10 hours of sleep helps reduce end of week exhaustion. Reading or telling children a story in a soft voice and giving a gentle back rub helps. Avoiding technology before bedtime, especially those with blue light screens is important since they delay relaxation and sleep. In the morning add an extra 10 minutes to the time you think it will take to get ready to reduce stress. If adults are stressed, the children will show it.

need some time to wake up. The last resort might be a few pieces of cheese, pieces of apple, or good cereal in a little bag to eat on the way. Try to get some fluids in them, too like milk or water. Pack children a snack and lunch they will eat and include some protein and fruit. Encourage some vegetables and add water. It is a good fluid anytime instead of fruit or fruit- like juice. Physicians are concerned about the amount of grams of sugar children are consuming. Do preschool children know about raising their hands when they have a question? That is a good role playing activity at home. Speaking of hands, do they know to keep their hands off other children? All of these behaviors, skills, and good choices will come along with time and family help.

Asking for Help Families can teach little ones how to ask for bathroom time or a tissue for their nose politely and softly. Do children remember to flush and aim carefully? Those considerate skills

Chasing the

Apprenticeship gives aspiring chefs hands-on training BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

n the kitchen at West 29th Restaurant and Bar, Chris Johnson, 56, whips up intricately plated dishes and feels the heat as flames dance off the stove. He throws a meat-based pasta sauce in a pan as his mentor, chef Cory Matthews, handles another dish behind him. He places a portion of house-made pasta in the pan, then pours it all into a bowl. And the dish is complete. In the Denver metro area, you don’t need to try out for a Food Network show to be a bona fide chef. An apprenticeship program in the Denver, Boulder and Greeley areas prepares aspiring chefs for “the real world,” as one mentor chef said. For Johnson, 56, the program was the natural next step after a life of bouncing between different careers, including working as the maintenance director at a Georgia private school and running his own business, one that made statues and

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED The program runs for two years — September through mid-July for the first year and August to the end of July for the second year. Enrollment ends Aug. 28. Total tuition including books, uniforms, knife kits and food supplies is $6,750. Students need not have any prior restaurant experience, but must have a high school diploma or equivalent and be 17 or older. molds. “I always wanted to cook and open up a restaurant, basically,” said Johnson, who searched for a cooking program after being laid off from a previous job. A Lakewood resident from Savannah, Georgia, he cooked as a hobby for events like birthdays and wedding receptions, but never professionally. So Johnson decided to spice things up after hearing about the American Culinary Federation’s apprenticeship program. That organization’s local chapter, Colorado Chefs Association, oversees the program, which allows students to take two years of weekly classes at Metropolitan State University of Denver and to get real-world experience as an appren-

DID YOU KNOW? Students take one five-hour class per week and work 40plus hours in hands-on training the rest of the time. Students also take three online classes — sanitation, nutrition and management. An apprentice can make anywhere from $9.50 to $14.50 an hour starting pay. Some of the bigger locations that apprentices work at offer health benefits and vacation.

Most graduates pass the test for sous chef certification at the end of the program, said Christopher Moore, a mentor chef. Those who don’t pass still earn the certified culinarian title. Moore said most that get that certification go on to get their certified executive chef title. To register, call 303-222-0057 or email Monica Leonard, apprenticeship coordinator, at mleonard@acfcoloradochefs.org.

tice under a mentor chef at hotels, country clubs and restaurants in the area. “I looked at the price between Johnson and Wales and this,” Johnson said. “It’s affordable. You learn just as much.” The price can be a big difference — about $7,000 for

the apprenticeship compared to up to $60,000 for some culinary schools, said Christopher Moore, a mentor chef for the program. But the main draw is a gulf of difference in experience students get. They need none to apply and get paid for the hours they work.

• Colorado has had its apprenticeship program since the 1970s. • The ﬁrst American Culinary Federation Apprenticeship Program was started in the 1970s by the Pittsburgh chapter. Since then, it’s grown to 70 programs with more than 2,000 culinary apprentices in training across the country. And you’re never too old to reinvent yourself — Moore sees students from 19 to 50 years old. Apprentices “come from everywhere,” he said. One graduating this month is from Austin, Texas. Johnson’s nephew from out of state will join the program in September, too. Not just book learning An apprenticeship provides the hands-on learning that can’t be obtained in a classroom, said Matthews, Johnson’s mentor chef and the executive chef at West 29th Restaurant and Bar in Wheat Ridge. Students get “more technique, more basics,” Matthews said. “It also ensures that the person is dedicated to continuing in the industry. You get sous chef certification at the SEE APPRENTICE, P17

Kesha returns with songs of grace amid continuing struggles

ith the incredible abundance of music being released on any one of a dozen outlets every Friday, it can be difficult to get really excited about a new release. That wasn’t the case on Aug. 11, when pop star Kesha finally released her long-awaited album, LINER “Rainbow,” her first new release in five NOTES years. The fact that one of the best pop musicians of the decade is releasing something new is reason to cheer, but it’s especially heartening given her long road to get here. Clarke Reader In February 2016, I wrote about the #FreeKesha movement, a social media campaign supported by the likes of Adele and Taylor Swift to support the singer’s efforts to legally free herself from Kemosabe, a record label created and run by Dr. Luke. Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, is a record producer and songwriter, who Kesha alleges drugged and raped her when she was 18 years old and continued to sexually and verbally abuse her throughout their work

CHORUS TO KESHA’S “HYMN” “This is a hymn for the hymnless, kids with no religion Yeah, we keep on sinning, yeah, we keep on singing Flying down the highway, backseat of the Hyundai

Pull it to the front, let it run, we don’t valet Sorry if you’re starstruck, blame it on the stardust I know that I’m perfect, even though I’m f-d up

relationship. In 2014, Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, which included Sony as a codefendant, because the company owns Kemosabe. Dr. Luke and Sony countersued, alleging Kesha’s claims were false and a move by the singer to renegotiate her contract. As a result, she was unable to record any music or tour until the situation was resolved. Kesha filed a preliminary injunction in February 2015 so she could record outside of her contract with Sony and Kemosabe. In February 2016, New York Supreme Court Judge Shirley Kornreich ruled against Kesha, saying the injunction was an effort to “decimate a contract that was heavily negotiated and typical for the industry.” That means any attempts to make music had to be with Dr. Luke and Sony, and in the year and a half since I wrote that piece, there has been dispiritingly little progress made.

Hymn for the hymnless, don’t need no forgiveness ‘Cause if there’s a heaven, don’t care if we get in This is a hymn, hymn, hymn for how we live, live, live”

According to reporting by Joe Coscarelli in The New York Times, Kesha’s further contract claims were mostly rejected by courts or withdrawn, and Dr. Luke has filed a lawsuit for defamation and breach of contract. Kesha is in the process of appealing the decisions, but “Rainbow” was released by Kemosabe records. So Dr. Luke will in all likelihood make money off the release. And Kesha still owes his record company two more albums if nothing changes. But like any great artist, Kesha has taken her struggles and turned them into vibrant and vital music, making “Rainbow” the best album of her career so far. It demonstrates her astounding flexibility and range, and features appearances from Dolly Parton, soul group The Dap-King Horns, and Eagles of Death Metal. Although she doesn’t address her challenges explicitly, they’re all over songs like “Hymn”

and “Praying,” two of the album’s best songs. What really makes Kesha an artist worth rooting for is she’s using her music to inspire others who have had similar experiences. According to Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network statistics, one of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Kesha is making music for every person who has experienced this kind of violence, and everyone who wants to be a safe place for the people they love. It’s the kind of thing you want to stand up and cheer about, because chances are we all know someone affected by these kinds of crimes. In an interview on “Good Morning America” on Aug. 9, the singer fought back tears as she spoke about the album. “I think this record has quite literally saved my life,” she said. “I hope you guys like it, I hope you can hear it and I hope it helps people.” Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he cannot state this enough — stand with women. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com.

ECLIPSE EVENTS IN JEFFCO For much of the Jefferson County area, the Aug. 21 eclipse will start at 10:23 a.m. and end at 1:14 p.m. The peak of the eclipse, when 92 percent of the sun will be covered, will occur at 11:46 a.m. Jefferson County Public Libraries has already given out 5,000 eclipse glasses it had available. However, several locations are holding special viewing events. • Arvada Library, 7525 W. 57th Ave. | 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. • Belmar Library, 555 S. Allison Parkway | 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Great American Eclipse blocks the sun Aug. 21 BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s a mighty big fuss for what amounts to a shadow. The moon butts its way in between the Earth and the sun Aug. 21, casting its shadow across the continental U.S. from sea to sea. A cross-continental U.S. total eclipse like this hasn’t occurred since 1918. And the rare event comes with a special name: The Great American Eclipse. “That’s what they call it, because everyone in the United States will get to see something, at least a little bit of it,” said Damon Olsen, astronomy instructor at Littleon’s Arapahoe Community College. “Everyone in the U.S. will see it, plus Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. They’ll all see something.” Along the Front Range, the moon begins creeping over the sun at 10:23 a.m., covering more than 90 percent of the sun just before noon. By 1:23 p.m. the Great American Eclipse should have moved out of Colorado. Schools, libraries and parks across the Denver Metro area are hosting viewing events, complete with glasses, telescopes and crafts for kids. At Westminster’s campus of Front Range Community College, the school will have multiple filtered telescopes, eclipse glasses and other displays. “We will have a telescope, solar viewing glasses, pinhole cameras,” said Carla Wente, chair of the science department at Front Range Community College’s Westminster campus. “We may have astronomical binoculars, which are binoculars with special solar filters.”

• Golden Library, 1019 10th St, Golden | 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. • Lakewood Library, 10200 W 20th Ave. | 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. • Standley Lake, 8485 Kipling St. | 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

WANT TO KNOW MORE? For more information, NASA’s www.eclipse2017.nasa.gov page has links to science and eclipse trivia, an interactive map of the Aug. 21 Great American Eclipse and links to live video streams, smart phone apps and other resources. The path matters Like most professional sky watchers in Colorado, Wente said she won’t be anywhere around here when the eclipse begins. She’s headed north into the path of the deepest part of the shadow, total coverage of the sun by the moon. “Like millions of other people, I’m going to be at the eclipse,” Wente said. “Basically, everyone else here is going to Wyoming, so my husband I decided to go Nebraska. Either way works, but we didn’t want to get stuck on traffic on I-25.” Solar eclipses come in three varieties: total, annular and partial. A partial eclipse occurs when any part of the moon covers the sun, and that can happen as often as five times per year. Annular eclipse happen when the moon moves completely in front of the sun but, because of the moon’s elliptical orbit, it is too far from the Earth to completely block the sun. An annular eclipse results in a bright ring of sunlight around the moon. Total eclipses, like this one, are the rarest, typically occurring somewhere on Earth every 18 months or so. The Aug. 21 solar eclipse begins about 9:55 a.m. mountain time somewhere over the North Pacific Ocean, northwest of Hawaii and just east of the International Dateline. It makes landfall on U.S. soil at about 10:04 a.m. just west of Salem, Oregon, reaching totality — total

• Wheat Ridge, 5475 W 32nd Ave. | 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. The Jefferson County Open Space Nature and History Programs is

presenting an Education Station on the solar eclipse from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Aug. 21 at Deer Creek Canyon Park, 13896 Grizzly Drive, in Littleton. Educators will be available to answer questions and viewing glasses will be available to watch the eclipse. Education Stations are short, casual drop-by programs. No preregistration is required. Programs are limited by weather. For more information or weather updates, call the Lookout Mountain Nature Center at 720497-7600 The Colorado School of Mines is canceling classes from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 21, so students can watch the eclipse from the school’s IM fields in Golden.

GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE EVENTS The Great American Eclipse runs from about 10:20 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. across the Front Range, the maximum eclipse at about 11:45 a.m. and lasting for two or three minutes. Viewing events are free and open to the public unless noted otherwise. Anythink Library branches, Thornton The library’s branches at Huron Street, Wright Farms and York Street will host eclipse viewing parties with eclipse glasses, safe viewing technique discussions and crafts.

Viewing station will be set up near the Confluence Building with two telescopes and eclipse glasses.

Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Sante Fe Drive, Littleton A question-and-answer session with astronomy faculty begins at 11 a.m., along with video streams from other locations on the campus’ west lawn. Viewing stations will include filtered telescopes, pinhole cameras and eclipse glasses.

Denver Museum of Nature and Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver The museum will be giving away a limited number of eclipse glasses and selling them for $2.99 each when the free glasses are gone. Eclipse-themed events are scheduled throughout the day, including a NASA live-stream indoors, solar-scope viewings in Boettcher Plaza, family Eclipsercize in the studios, and crafts and story time in the Discovery Zone. Eclipse events are free with general museum admission.

blockage of the sun by the passing moon — at about 11:17 a.m mountain time there. From there, it follows a looping diagonal path southeast across the country’s midsection, through Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennesee and South Carolina. Eclipse totality comes closest to Colorado before noon. Casper, Wyoming, should go dark at 11:43 a.m.; Grand Island, Nebraska, at about 11:59 a.m. The total eclipse should last less than two minutes in each location. The eclipse finishes with the U.S. and leaves the continent at 2:10 p.m.

mountain time just north of Charleston, South Carolina. It’s completely finished at 2:55 p.m. mountain time out over the Atlantic Ocean. Those in the direct path will see the sun completely covered, all but a wispy ring. That is the sun’s chromosphere or atmosphere and seeing that is why eclipses matter to astronomers. “It’s one of the rare times you can actually view the sun’s atmosphere,” Wente said. “It’s one of the advantages of having a total eclipse. It’s the very lowest atmosphere, right above what we think of as the surface of the sun. It’s colored red

The school will have 1,000 solar eclipse glasses that viewers can borrow, several filtered telescopes, pinhole cameras for tracking the eclipse and displays about the science of eclipses. Regis University, 3333 Regis Blvd., Denver Individuals will all receive free eclipse glasses for viewing from the campus commons, while supplies last. Physics and astronomy faculty will have filtered telescopes to watch the eclipse and will be on hand to answer questions and lead activities. In case of bad weather, the campus will stream live NASA footage of the eclipse. but you can’t normally see it because the sun is so bright.” It’s also the most breathtaking for everyone because a 100 percent total eclipse is as different from anything else as night and day — quite literally, Wente said. Under totality, the sky goes dark and stars will be visible. A crescent sun Colorado is out of the path of totality and Wente said sky observers should not expect mid-day darkness here.

the sun; in Highland’s Ranch it’s about 92 percent. “The sun’s wattage, what we actually see, is about 1,300 to 1,400 watts per square meter,” she said. “A light bulb is 100 watts. So even 10 percent of the sun’s light will be a lot. I’m expecting it, personally, to be like a cloudy day.” There should still be quite a show. “I think the amazing thing will be just to see the sun as a crescent, to see the moon over on top of the

sun,” she said. The eclipse maximum will be over quickly, she said, finished here in minutes. “Part of the fun is the whole process, the moon moving in over the sun,” she said. “We won’t get that totality, but will get to follow along, up to that 90-plus percent.” And if you miss it, don’t worry. There will be another Great American Eclipse on Aug. 12, 2045 — and this time, Denver will be in the path of the totality. “It’s just like this one, but 200 miles to the south,” she said. “It’ll come right through the center of Colorado and we only have to wait another 28 years.” Artists of Colorado Ballet by Mike Watson © The Ballanchine Trust

end of the program.” A sous chef is the second-in-command chef in a kitchen. Most culinary schools don’t focus as much on practical knowledge these days, said Moore, executive chef at The Club at Ravenna, which is just south of Chatfield State Park. “A lot of times, I’ll interact with people, and they say they’ve never done (a certain cooking skill) before, whereas when I went to school, it was the exact opposite,” said Moore, who attended Scottsdale Culinary Institute in Arizona in the 1990s. Moore said he’s seen a shift toward those schools having a more theoretical focus in the past three years because they often lack an outlet, like a student café, for the food students would make. “It was explained to me early on in my career that chefs pass on their knowledge, and what used to be passed on generation to generation, father to son,” Moore said. “With culinary school, that doesn’t really happen anymore. So my responsibility is to pass it on to future chefs.” Students have written tests every week as well, Johnson said. The program provides 43 credit hours that are transferable to any community college in Colorado, said Sarah Beatty, a program spokesperson. But the bulk of working as an apprentice is being thrown into the fire, going through the full process of preparing dishes.

“Knife skills, sanitation, how to really stick to a recipe” and techniques like how to break down a chicken are some of what students learn on the job, Johnson said. “Just things that ... you wouldn’t think about at the house.” Time management, dishwashing and cleaning up are also part of the learning package, Johnson added, as the goal is to transition into restaurant jobs, some of which come where students worked as apprentices. “When you get into the real world, you have to (do food preparation),” Moore said. “If you go to an apprenticeship program, you learn what you need to know to actually cook.”

It’s Almost Here!

Learn from the veterans The people that get you there are experts who take you through every step — Matthews has been a chef and sous chef for years. Matthews graduated from the French Culinary Institute in New York, now called the International Culinary Center, and worked for Garden of the Gods Club in Colorado Springs and the Denver Country Club. As a young child, he’d climb onto his mother’s back to watch how she would cook. “My mom, a single mom ... she was just always a great cook,” Matthews said. Cooking “takes time, effort and love, and that’s what I’ve grown up with.” Now, he gets to pass that on, along with what he’s learned professionally. Under Matthews’ direction, Johnson is on his way to becoming a sous chef. “I would love to own my own restaurant, a small bistro type,” Johnson said. “But that’s a dream.”

Jeffco’s top golfers eye strong senior season BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — There is always room for improvement. That was the mentality Lakewood senior Jack Castiglia had during the off-season. Before beginning his senior campaign the three-time Class 5A boys golf state qualifier went through a grip and swing change. Despite finishing with a third straight top40 finish at the state tournament and another 5A Jeffco League all-conference selection, Castiglia knew it was time for a change. “I had always had a pretty unorthodox grip and swing,” Castiglia said during a practice at Fox Hollow Golf Course on Aug. 11. “It was just time to go more conventual, something I can be more consistent with going forward.” Castiglia worked hard last spring on his new grip and swing. He kept busy this summer with practice and playing tournaments to prepare for his final prep season on the links. The new grip and swing definitely worked for Castiglia at the AJGA WinCraft/McArthur Towel & Sports Future Legends tournament last month in Waukesha, Wis. Castiglia fired a tournamentbest final round of 68 to finish tied for third, just behind former Lakewood teammate Griffin Barela who is a freshman playing at the University of Wisconsin. Lakewood coach Alan Gonzales describes Castiglia’s new swing as “looking perfect right now” as the Tigers open up conference play Monday, Aug. 14, at Deer Creek Golf Course with the first of six Jeffco League tournaments this fall. “That was something we were pleased about. It is something that needed to change,” Gonzales said of Castiglia’s swing evolution. “It’s tough as a teenage kid to make a change. Making a grip change doesn’t sound like a big change, but we all know it’s a big change and commitment.” Another big change for Lakewood was the graduation of all-conference selections Barela, Grayden Wolfe and Max CampOberhauser. Lakewood is the three-time defending 5A Jeffco League team champion, but Gonzales knows it won’t be easy with the majority of his top players graduating last spring. “It’s going to be tough,” Gonzales said. “We lost a lot of good leadership and a lot of good talent. The good thing is these young kids learned from those players and we still have Jack to teach them as well.” One benefit for the Tigers is the fact that six of eight 5A Jeffco all-conference selections

Green Mountain senior Gabe Goodman chips in the rain during practice at Bear Creek Golf Club. DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS graduated. Ralston Valley senior Landon Thunell is the only other returning all-conference selection besides Castiglia. “It’s a challenge,” Gonzales said. “We like a challenge. We can’t be our best unless we are challenged through the whole season.” Castiglia is up for the challenge to heading into his final shot to make a solid run to a strong finish to his prep career. “I want to play a lot better than I have at state. Try to get into that top-5,” said Castiglia, who is hoping to play in college. He is making a visit to the University of Northern Colorado next week. “I know I have the capability to win it.” Class 4A Jeffco boys golf Green Mountain senior Gabe Goodman was as close as you can be from winning the 4A Jeffco League individual medalist title. A season-long duel with Evergreen’s Lenny Urbas ended with

Goodman just on the short end of the stick. Goodman and Urbas were deadlocked going into the final hole of the final Jeffco League tournament last fall. Urbas, who finished a shot ahead of Goodman at the state tournament too, sank a long birdie putt to win the individual medalist title by a single stroke. “That would be huge because last year I lost it with a 35-foot putt,” Goodman said of winning the 4A Jeffco individual medalist title this fall. “It would be awesome to finally get that. That’s pretty important to me.” Goodman spent a lot of time at his home course of Bear Creek Golf Club this summer, along with playing several tournaments. The highlight of Goodman’s summer was playing in a national junior tournament at the PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Florida. SEE GOLF, P27

ost of the young baseball players didn’t know anything about their coaches, but it really didn’t matter, r since the tutors were all former major t league baseball players. There were 125 youngsters f OVERTIME divided into age groups that took part in the Legends for F Youth clinic presented by S the Major League Baseball Players Association Alumni p Association on Aug. 4 at Lake- G wood’s All-Star Park. a One of the ex-big leaguers w on hand to show the young o players the fundamentals of R Jim Benton the game was Skip Jutze, a t 71-year-old resident of Highlands Ranch. Jutze, a Bayside, New York, native, spent all e or parts of six seasons in the major leagues as G primarily a catcher with St. Louis, Houston and t Seattle. He was the first player in Mariners his- t tory to hit a grand slam home run. L He played briefly for the Triple A Denver a Bears and liked the city enough to move to L Colorado. “I got here because of baseball,” Jutze said. o “I was here for two weeks when the Bears were G with the Houston organization. I was called up e right after that but when I was here I said, ‘This t is where I’m staying.’ I just fell in love with it.” o Other big leaguers at the event included former Aurora Hinkley standout Brian Fisher, c who pitched seven seasons in the major leagues,w and Mark Knudson, a Northglenn High School M grad, who was a pitcher for all or parts of eight n a seasons with four teams. a Jutze — who coached at Regis University and at the high school level at Jefferson, Wheat t Ridge, Colorado Academy and Columbine — says the game hasn’t changed. “Three outs, three strikes and four balls,” he said. “The thing that has changed is the physical ability of the people who participate. They are much bigger and stronger and the equipment is better. The actual playing of the game hasn’t changed. “While I played Little League, we played 12 games in the summer. When my son played, they also played 12 and tournaments and everything else. So he might have played 60 games in the summer. I don’t think it’s good for the individuals that participate, but coaches in high school want you to specialize in one sport. I’d rather see a kid play a sport in the fall, a sport in the winter and a sport in the spring where you can develop some other skills.” Fall sports season begins Summer vacation is over — although it seems these days that high school athletes have very few down days because of club and off-season training. Still, the fall sports season officially began Aug. 7 when boys golfers opened practice. All other fall sports could begin practice Aug. 14. Boys golfers can have their first tournament on Aug. 10. Boys tennis teams are allowed to open the competitive season Aug. 17 and girls softball Aug. 18. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

A world-class course for hardy cyclists Golden Gran Fondo takes place Aug. 27

IF YOU GO The Golden Gran Fondo begins at 8 a.m. Aug. 27 with a starting line located underneath the arch in downtown Golden on Washington Avenue. Finish will be at Parfet Park, located at 10th Street and Washington Avenue.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brian Baker, a cyclist from Vail, races recreationally all over the state throughout the summer. “I like having something to train for,” he said. So for Baker, the Golden Gran Fondo is an ideal way to spend a Sunday. A cycling road race that takes place beginning at 8 a.m. Aug. 27, the Golden Gran Fondo starts under the arch in downtown Golden. The race welcomes pros and amateurs, and offers three different course lengths. Racers also compete in timed sections set up along the course. “I really like the format,” said Baker, who will be racing in the Golden Gran Fondo this year for the second time. “For me, it’s more interesting than the typical charity race.” Last year, because of the Linking Lookout road construction project at Sixth Avenue and 19th Street, Lookout Mountain was not included on the race route. But this year, the Golden Gran Fondo will be the first event permitted to use the bridge that spans Sixth Avenue at the base of Lookout Mountain. “Not having Golden’s iconic roadcycling climb in last year’s edition was a big loss for the event,” said Marty Quinn, one of the event organizers. “We are super excited to be able to use Lookout Mountain Road again.” Baker has ridden Lookout Mountain a number of times, he said, and

Spectators are encouraged along the route. Those who would like to watch the race should visit the Golden Gran Fondo’s website to find the best places to cheer on riders. The community is also invited to a free finishing line party, 10 a.m. to about 4 p.m., as cyclists finish the race at Parfet Park. Industry vendors will be represented, and beer and food will be available for purchase. An awards ceremony will take place after the race. To learn more, visit www.gfncs.com. Golden Gran Fondo participants take off last year underneath the welcome arch in downtown Golden. This year, the bike race begins at 8 a.m. Aug. 27, with a finish at Parfet Park, located at 10th Street and Washington Avenue. COURTESY PHOTO is especially looking forward to it being included in the Gran Fondo. “It’s one of the best climbs in the Front Range,” he said, “because of its beauty and proximity to Denver.” In addition to Lookout Mountain, Jefferson County has completed all of its flood recovery road work along the race route this year, Quinn said, so “some of the less-than-ideal gravel road sections” have been eliminated from this year’s route. “All-in-all, the course should be the best it’s ever been,” Quinn said. “We’re looking forward to hosting the area’s most hardy cyclists to tackle this world-class course.” The Golden Gran Fondo provides

a participant with probably one of the highest levels of self-accomplishment than any other race, said Todd Thomford, a cyclist from Englewood. “One thing I like about the Gran Fondo is that it just keeps throwing it at you,” he said. “The climbs are steep and tough, and the descents are curvy and fast. If you’re a glutton for punishment, then this is the race for you.” But the challenge is all part of the fun, Thomford said. “And at the end, you get an overall group sense of camaraderie,” he said. “It gives all cyclists, novice to advanced, an opportunity to participate and have fun.”

good vibes going into the season. He believes he can finish the season with a scoring average under 72. At the end of the line is a likely fourth trip to the state tournament Oct. 2 and 3 that will be held at one of Goodman’s favorite courses. “I do like that Raccoon Creek course. I’ve had some good results there,” Goodman said. “It’s where I

actually qualified for state my freshman year. I shot an 81 at regionals. I have good memories out there.” Goodman is looking at a pair of colleges in California to continue his golf career — Chapman University and Loyola Marymount University. “He (Goodman) is very consistent any ways, but I think he just needs to keep that consistency up and keep
