TEACHERS PREPARE
VOLUME 92 | ISSUE 1
Although school officially started this week for most students, teachers began working in their classrooms the week before — decorating classrooms and hallways, developing lesson plans and brainstorming ways to provide the best learning environments for their students. To see what teachers were doing behind the scenes last week, turn to pages 6 and 7 for more stories and photos.

Vikings set sail
New year of school begins By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
There is a whole new horde of Vikings to contend with at Belmar Elementary, and teachers and parents couldn’t be happier about it. Students and their families were greeted with orange juice, bagels and a balloon archway on the first day of class, and everyone had a chance to greet friends, meet teachers and get a dozen photos or so taken. “Everyone is excited to be here,” said Principal Meredith Leighty as the crowds numbers quickly swelled. In the background Disney classics like (the very appropriate) “You’ve Got A Friend In Me,” provided the perfect soundtrack for the event. — Students As the children snacked on bagels, parents were busy — Staff combing their child’s hair one more time, adjusting — Teachers their collars and tucking in their shirts, all the while — Schools on ... marveling at how fast the time has passed. — Campuses “It’s kind of exciting, but I can’t believe he’s already in kindergarten,” said Phyllis Allen, who was there with grandson Degan, and her daughter Ashley Cummins. Degan said he was excited for school to start, and he wasn’t the only one — children eagerly asked to see their classrooms, and teachers were quickly surrounded by their new students as they held up signs with names and grades.

FIVE NEW PROGRAMS IN LAKEWOOD SCHOOLS Here are five of the many new programs in Lakewood schools for the 2015-16 school year: 1. Green Mountain High School now features an agriculture pathway, focusing on the growing field of urban agriculture. 2. Lakewood High School has a brand new band director, Bryce Melaragno, who wants to continue pushing a competitive group to new heights. 3. Bear Creek High School is launching its first lacrosse program. The first year will mainly be junior varsity, with the program expanding into varsity next year. 4. Belmar Elementary is refining its first watchdog program, in which parent volunteers help keep an eye on students and schoolgrounds. 5. South Lakewood Elementary is getting new choir classes through its vocal music program.
The teachers hugged students they’ve had in previous years, made them promise to come and visit, and caught up with their students’ favorite stories from the summer. Parents took the chance to ask some last minute questions and get to know the people who will be working so closely with their children for the next nine months. And in many cases, the parents hugged the teachers as well. As nine-o-clock drew near, parents moved over to the balloon archway, under which their students would pass before entering school for the first time of the year. “We gotta have some fun — this is it!” said third grade teacher Sue Becker, as she led her students through the arch. Parents had the chance to get one more hug and kiss from their children, and then stand and cheer as they passed into the building. And then the bell rang.
Council considers regulations for residential marijuana grows Goal to protect residents and stay constitutional By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lakewood City Council will consider two ordinances about residential marijuana grows after a study session on Aug. 17. The first of the two proposed ordi-
nances is an update that brings Lakewood’s criminal code to the same level as the state’s in several areas, including alcohol possession and marijuana. As city attorney Tim Cox explained it, the changes no longer cite possession of marijuana or marijuana paraphernalia by a person older than 21. The second — and more substantive — ordinance specifically focuses on residential grows and would propose the follow: marijuana plants would have to
be “cultivated, produced, processed and maintained” at a person’s primary residence and not outdoors or in detached structures (garages will be allowed, as long as they are attached); marijuana growing must be the secondary use of the home; the plants must be grown in an enclosed and locked space; each person in the residence (older than 21) may have up to six plants, but the total Council continues on Page 14
Wind power. Blood work. Infusion systems for interventional radiology and 3D metal printing — four radically different businesses in scientific and technical fields. But they share a common thread of innovation. Congressman Ed Perlmutter, D-Colorado, recently spent two days visiting four of his district’s most state-of-the-art companies to see how they work, the kinds of challenges they’re facing and what help they could Perlmutter benefit from. “The innovative piece of this is what I really wanted to focus on. There are a lot of really smart people here with some new ideas out there,” Perlmutter said. “We’re visiting an interesting group that has applications from medical and astronomy to energy and military.” PerlmutHeidi Hostetter, ter’s district vice president covers the west of Faustson and north metro areas, including Golden, Lakewood, Northglenn and Thornton. On Aug. 10 and 11, he visited Lakewood’s Primus Aerospace and Windpower and Terumo BCT, Arvada’s Faustson Tools and Westminster’s Surefire Medical. The businesses specialize in different fields — wind power systems, blood work, 3D metal printing and infusion systems for interventional radiology, respectively — but all are facing challenges related to employee attraction and retention, growth and public awareness. “This business is so competitive,” said Randy Brodsky, president of Primus Aerospace. “Our building here has a 42,000-square-foot capacity, and we’re going to need to find additional space.” Primus and Surefire employees spoke about challenges of competition with China. Surefire is also potentially facing some high taxes as part of the Affordable Care Act’s medical device tax. Alicia Svaldi, co-founder of Faustson, highlighted the benefit of Colorado Helps

Nurse at Lutheran Medical Center and Cochran Oncology Nursing Scholarship Award recipient About me I’m originally from Michigan, but I moved here 10 years ago. I was a travel nurse at the time, and on my first trip here, I met my husband. My job… I’ve been here (at Lutheran) for about eight years, and I absolutely love it here - I love the environment and the patients. I’ve been to every other hospital around here, and Lutheran just had the best fit. I am Oncology certified, so I work with Oncology patients, and am in charge on the 38-bed-unit that I work in during the nights. With these two roles I am able to keep in contact with my Oncology patients, which is great because they and their families are just amazing, and I manage things like making sure the patients are working with the right people. I’m a second pair of hands when other nurses need help, and any time of emergency situation is in my hands. I get to work with both patients and staff, and I am available to help mold nurses into the caregivers they want to be. In my free time. . . My husband and I have a two-yearold and four-year-old that we like to

I also like to run, hike, and just experience everything Colorado has to offer, because there is so much to do here. The best part of my job … I’m doing everything I love to do, but one thing I didn’t know going in is how much emotion nurses take home with them. I didn’t know the affect it would have on me personally, and I had to learn to step away, and leave work at work. The best part is the patients — their spirits and positive outlook in some horrible situations is inspiring. They can be so uplifting, and give us so much more than they know.

Why she is in the news With a passion for public education, Arvada mom Kim Johnson said she’s ready to serve on the Jefferson County Board of Education. “This is something that I’ve thought about for a long time — long before any of the current events started taking place,” she said. “I’m very passionate about public education and this just seemed like the right time.” Running for the District 3 seat at the board table, currently held by Jill Fellman who is not running again, Johnson said she’s wanted to do this for more than a decade. Public education is a deep value in her community and she says she’s ready for the next step in her community involvement About her Originally from California, Johnson and her husband moved to Jefferson County in 2003 because they liked the family values and strong schools. “I grew up with a strong sense that excellence in public education is really important and it’s the heart of the community.” Before becoming a stay-at-home mom 12 years ago, Johnson earned a college degree and worked as a commercial property manager. Brings to the table With a background in business, community service and as a mother, Johnson said she brings a neutral perspective to the board table. She said she likes to ask hard questions, consider all the information given and form a common-sense solution that’s best for students.
School Board Candidate Kim Johnson “I believe that every decision that we make has to come back to looking at whether that is the best decision for the students.” Johnson wants to have discussions with community members and staff around what they value, issues in the district, such as those surrounding facilities, and what they’d like to see from the school board. “I’m looking to be a little bit of a bridge builder,” Johnson said. “I have strong connections at our community school and I think I can continue those connections throughout the district as well.” Hobbies and other interests Johnson said she loves to hike with her Labradoodle Bromley, spend time with her family, read historical books and sew. She is also a volunteer with Girl Scouts, Moms International and at West Woods Elementary School, her children’s school. In her own words “I’m here because I care about making Jeffco the best district we can be.” “I treat everyone with kindness and respect, always.” “I really do think our community can come together. When you have a population this size, it’s hard for everyone to be happy all the time. But we can still work towards that and it’s important to try.”

Welcome to the great outdoors Patterson Head Start opens outdoor classroom By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Community leaders and Patterson Head Start employees and families celebrated the opening of the Patterson Nature Quest Outdoor Classroom on Aug. 14 in the sweltering sun with excitement and eagerness for the new school year. The outdoor classroom, 1480 S. Yarrow, features a garden and construction area, a gathering stage for students and water experiment apparatus. Bricks from the old city plaza and repurposed trees from the city’s forestry department were used in the construction. It is sponsored by the Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation, Qualistar Colorado, Colorado Construction Institute, Front Range Lumber, Colorado Garden Foundation, Columbine Kiwanis, Renewable Fiber, Ace Hardware of Jewell Square and Alameda Wholesale Nursery. Here are some highlights heard at the opening:
1
“Kids don’t play as much as they used to, and they learn so much when they play. They learn interpersonal skills and healthy activities. In the garden they will learn where healthy food comes from. There will be so many great outcomes from playing and learning about where they play.” — Lakewood Mayor Bob Murphy
2
“There is so much information about how being outdoors affects children’s behavior in a lot of ways, and healthy well-being has been connected to spending time with nature. There’s a calming effect for kids. We have an art, music and dramatic play area — the classroom has been designed to combine the outdoors with a quality preschool learning environment.” — Kathy Ireland, Head Start coordinator
3
“We have a relationship with Jefferson County for our youth construction program. The kids who work with us learn to build and get construction practice.” — Michael Smith, executive director of Colorado Construction Institute
4
“This was a perfect program for us —some of these kids didn’t have any construction skills when they came to us. Students worked from drawings to get the items preassembled and then they did some on-site work.” — Joe Carswell, lead construction instructor with Colorado Construction

Grand Lady rolls again Young and old line up to ride interurban car By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Once a year, Lakewood’s Grand Lady emerges from retirement to show visitors of all ages she’s still got it. And, boy, do the visitors come. Lakewood’s Intermountain Interurban Car No. 25, affectionately known as the Grand Lady, had a chance Aug. 8 to once again ferry several hundred visitors to see the 104-year-old car at its home in the Federal Center. The day was perfect for the ride — sunny and hot without being stiflingly so — and train enthusiasts of all ages lined up for the short ride on Car No. 25. Platte Valley Trolley operators — pressed white uniforms gleaming in the August sun — helped riders embark and disembark, and a few children got the chance to ring the bell on their way out.
Visitors also had the opportunity to learn more about the seven cars that ran the 13-mile DenverLakewood-Golden line from 1911 through 1950, as well as share their own memories. A makeshift exhibit, complete with artifacts, documents and maps, served as a guide for visitors who wanted to learn more about local train and rail car history. There are other voices that need to be heard, and Lakewood is working on recording eyewitness accounts. “We’re taking oral histories from folks who remember the line and cars,” said Jeff Murray, Lakewood Heritage Center administrator. “We want to be able to share memories with others down the line.” Residents with gray in their hair and wisdom in their eyes swapped stories about the line, the way trains used to run, and childhood memories of the rails as their grandchildren eagerly awaited their chance to make memories of their own. Dale, a Lakewood resident, was there because his 2-year-old daughter already loves trains. “She wants to go again,” he said, and gauging by the steady stream of visitors, she was far from the only one.

Advanced Manufacturing Program (CHAMP) in educating students for these kinds of technical fields. Nearly all the businesses work closely with community
colleges like Front Range and Red Rocks to find students who want hands-on learning experience. “We’re hoping the state will be able to help in some way with apprenticeship programs,” said Heidi Hostetter, vice president of Faustson. “Right now we’re doing all the participation we can.” The tour also supported the bipartisan “Make it in America” plan, which focuses
on creating high-wage, private-sector jobs, particularly in the manufacturing sector. “There is a demand for employees in these industries, and these businesses want good employees that they can keep,” Perlmutter said. “There are great opportunities for young people and those with experience. That’s what I like most — these jobs are both cutting-edge and
bring opportunity.” Perlmutter said he will take what he learned and find ways to craft it into ideas and legislation that can benefit not just these businesses, but others as well. “There are lots of opportunities for good jobs,” he said, “for interesting jobs, jobs that make a difference in the world, outer space and the neighborhood.”

‘We are thrilled to welcome the Class of 2028 as well as our new and returning teachers and staff. We are excited to partner with parents and our community to help educate Jeffco’s students, and look forward to a positive and productive school year.’ Dan McMinimee, Jeffco Schools superintendent
‘The kids are really the best job’ Jeffco teachers open classrooms to a new year By Crystal Anderson Canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valentina Lowitsch, a second-grade dual Spanish teacher at Arvada’s Foster Elementary School, has been planning for the start of school — which was Monday — since last May. “As a teacher, I think you have to look and see what will happen — I had to organize as much as I could and talk with my partner,” she said. “Everything has to be the same in both rooms (English and Spanish classrooms).” On Monday, teachers across Jefferson County walked into their classrooms with fresh perspectives, new technologies and first-day-of-school jitters — a clear sign the 2015-2016 school year was underway. “We are thrilled to welcome the Class of 2028 as well as our new and returning teachers and staff,” said Dan McMinimee, Jeffco Schools superintendent. “We are excited to partner with parents and our community to help educate Jeffco’s students, and look forward to a positive and productive school year.” Teachers began arriving officially on Aug. 10 to prepare for the first day of school on Aug. 17. But as several teachers pointed out, the work began long before they set foot in their classrooms. Painting. Crafts. Pinterest projects. Professional development. Meetings. “We’re getting the classes set up, having CTE (career and technical education) meetings and going through some development programs,” Scott Schnell, business teacher at Bear Creek High School, said last week. Buildings across the district also are implementing new programs. From a school-wide elementary STEM program to an agriculture pathway, Jeffco schools are launching into the school year with innovative, hands-on learning practices geared to prepare students for the 21st century. “We want them to enjoy being here,” Lowitsch said, “… to love learning and to
While their rooms are ready to go, teachers like Foster Elementary’s Sarah McMahon take time to decorate bulletin boards in the hallways of the Arvada school in the final days leading up to the start of classes. Photo by Crystal Anderson motivate them as much as we can.” Her fellow second- and third-grade dual-language teachers, Annie Bryson and Dahlia Hansen, agreed, excitedly talking about the hands-on experiences their students will have this year. “We want them to be in charge of their learning — we’re just the facilitators,” Bryson said. “It’s great,” Hansen said. “We, as teachers, are constantly working together — coming up with ideas, working on learning targets, job charts … But the kids are really the best job. There’s more stress, but it makes you so happy.” Her sentiment is echoed by many others throughout the district. “It’s the kids that make it worth it to keep coming back,” said Mary Fuller, a teacher of 26 years at Golden’s Kyffin Elementary School. Her fellow teacher Lisa Boehm added that while this first day back is one of many she’s experienced, she still looks forward to each school year. “This is my 31st year teaching,” she said. “And I still love it.”

SCHOOL SUPPLY EVENT

Volunteers distribute supplies at The Action Center’s annual school supply distribution event for Jefferson County students. Students last week received the needed supplies for their grade, and every student also was given a backpack courtesy of Cardel Homes, a Denver-area home builder.

In previous years, one backpack was provided per family, and parents had to determine which of their children needed it most. Thanks to a donation from the home-builder Cardel Homes, every student in need will receive his or her own backpack this year.

Coping techniques for back to school As you’re reading this, school is now kicking into gear. For some, this is a great adventure, an opportunity for collaboration, accomplishment, and discovery. But for many — dare I say, most? — it simply means the end of summer, the end of freedom, the end of self-determination. And, I think, some students might be a little bummed about it, too. So, in light of the difficulty some may be feeling about returning to school, I, here, today, offer a 12-step program to help teache ... er, students ... cope with returning to the routine of school life. 1. Admit that you are powerless to overcome the calendar. The sun progresses as it always has, and the change of the seasons is inevitable. Welcome back. 2. Believe that a power greater than yourself — perhaps, the Common Core curriculum — can restore all sanity to your life. Or, at least, provide some semblance of structure and purpose. 3. Make a decision to turn your will and your life over to your Princip ... er, teache ... er, personally established ambitious academic goals. 4. Take an inventory of your academic and extracurricular weaknesses. But, we don’t want to start the year on too much of a downer, so ... maybe just pick three, and stick to those. 5. Admit to a counselor and your lab
partner those weaknesses. Not, like, on day one or anything. Maybe about half way through the semester. 6. Become entirely ready for your tutor to remove those weaknesses entirely. 7. Humbly ask the College Board to remove all your shortMichael Alcorn comings. And any HITTING difficult references to Lincoln, Martin Luther HOME King, or anybody else who might screw up your AP Exam. 8. Make a list of all the assignments you expect to have botched or failed to turn in, and become willing to make them up. 9. Make up the work. Or, y’know, as some like to think of it, do it the first time. Wherever possible, before it’s actually due. 10. Continue to take a personal inventory of your academic progress, and take steps to correct your errors promptly. 11. Seek through study and contemplation to improve your conscious contact with Aristotle, Newton, and Shakespeare, hoping for deeper understanding of their will, purpose, and thought process. And, where that fails, do what students have always done:
pray. 12. Having achieved an academic awakening through these steps, take this message to students everywhere, and practice this in all your affairs. In the interest of fairness and balance, I have a similar 12-step program for the parents of school-age children who are returning to school this week. 1. Admit that you are powerless to change the calendar, that the seasons will continue to progress as they always have, and that your children returning to school is a good and normal thing. 2. Believe that it’s okay that the lengthy list of activities you had hoped to do with your children this summer was overly ambitious, and accept that your children will not be scarred that you didn’t make it to Adventure Golf and Raceway. 3. Make a decision to get your children to school on time with a minimum of drama and struggle, so that you may ... Steps 4-12: Return home and do a richly deserved happy dance.

His third novel, “Gameplan: Inside Hell, Inc.” is now available at MichaelJAlcorn.com.
The weekend of Aug. 15-16 brought a lot of people to Golden—whether for the Fine Arts Festival, shopping or simply to enjoy Clear Creek on a hot, summer day. Some summertime activities are beginning to wrap up, and there are some things people are going to miss.

Caregivers find their voices in storytelling With all the attention focused recently on the 70th anniversary of World War II events, I’ve also been reflecting on the war of my generation, Vietnam. When my sister and I visited the Vietnam memorial in Washington, D.C., last year, we located the names of people we knew on the Wall, and recalled the ongoing effects of this war on the people left behind. Wars in our most recent consciousness, of course, are Afghanistan and Iraq. Nearly all of us know someone who has been affected by these conflicts. (In fact, to call them “conflicts” is to understate their profound impacts.) For me, one of these people is Seth Brady Tucker. Tucker is an instructor at Lighthouse Writers Workshop, my second home. I’ve learned much about writing what’s real from Seth, an award-winning author and combat
veteran who served in Iraq. He uses his own experience “writing poetry at the bottom of a foxhole” to mentor those of us who want to write with such authenticity. Tucker is also a different kind of mentor. He leads writing workshops for caregivAndrea Doray ers of service members severely wounded with ALCHEMY physical or psychological damages. These veterans have survived injuries that change not only their own lives but also those of the people who care for them. As a workshop mentor, Tucker en-
courages participants to direct their oftenconflicted emotions onto the page, whether writing privately, for family and friends, or for larger audiences. Many participants are working on memoirs or essays, poetry, blogs, short fiction, novels, or screenplays. Programs such as Helen Deutsch Writing Workshops provide a much-needed opportunity for caregivers to tell these stories, as well as to connect with one another for camaraderie and support. Developed in 2011 as a program led by writing mentors specifically for caregivers, the Helen Deutsch Writing Workshops are a partnership of the Wounded Warriors Project and Writers Guild of America, East Foundation. Tucker participates as a mentor for these Doray continues on Page 9

Readers respond to recent relationship advice Dear Neil: You recently reprinted a letter from a woman who was wondering why she and her husband were no longer having sex. Of all the reasons you offered about why couples quit having sex, you ignored the issue of being physically limited. My husband was diagnosed with diabetes. Despite our best efforts and modern meds, our sex life has diminished over the last 10 years to nearly nothing. I wish there was more acknowledgment about this. It’s Not Our Fault in San Diego Dear San Diego: You’re right. I missed an important reason why people quit having sex. Thanks for correcting me. Dear Neil: In one of your recent newspaper articles, you wrote about a woman in an eight-year relationship who has broken up with a man five times. She said he has poor finances, he has had many relationships and he has been divorced. I think he should be seeing a psychotherapist — not her as you suggested — about what he is doing that make women leave him. Also, does she have a lot to lose financially? She may be better off alone. There Are Good Reasons to Not Marry in Denver
Neil Rosenthal
SOUND ADVICE
Dear Good Reasons: Although what you say may be true, it is also true that the woman you are referring to described the man as her “soul mate,” and said she wanted to devote herself to him without so much fear. Financial fears could easily be addressed with a prenuptial agreement, which is often what happens for people who marry later in life. But if he were doing things that would make a woman leave him, I think after eight years she would know, and she didn’t mention it.
Dear Neil: You recently wrote an article about a man who accused a woman of being manipulative, inappropriate and childish because she cried easily. The issue you didn’t mention was how boys have been socialized to not be cry-babies. Society does not expect its heroes to cry. As a man, I grew up trained to be stoical. Now I have to decon-
dition myself to accept situations where tears may be an important and appropriate response. I Don’t Cry Either in Wellington, New Zealand Dear Wellington: A man not crying himself is completely different from him being intolerant of a woman who does cry. Being a person is about having and expressing emotions. A man touched by emotions is not a cry-baby. He’s a human being, and he has feelings. Sometimes those feelings devastate us. Tears are one way people express their hurt and pain. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder, Colorado.

80 years later, Will Rogers is still remembered Aug. 15 will mark 80 years since Will Rogers, world-famous humorist, died in a plane crash in Alaska. But his memory lives on. In 1879, Will Rogers, who was part Cherokee Indian, was born Oologah, Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma). Young Will grew up with horses and cattle on his father’s ranch. Regarding his onequarter Cherokee blood, he later quipped, “My ancestors didn’t come on the Mayflower — they met the boat.” He also observed after growing up on the ranch, and later working on Texas cattle drives, “Every man has wanted to be cowboy. Why play Wall Street and die young when you can play cowboy and never die?” When I was a small girl, if someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I’d say, “A cowboy!” So Will Rogers and I do have something in common. Rogers’ down-to-earth remarks connect with me, maybe because I have rural

roots, growing up with livestock on my family’s property in Golden. Every day after school, I used to saddle up my horse and ride the trails around South Table Mountain. A computer and the Internet will never replace the visceral experience of interacting with livestock. Livestock connect us to the earth and to the bigger, deeper joyful world. I miss that
connection now. Horses and cattle helped form Will Rogers’ identity. With only a tenth-grade education, he once said, “Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.” Ha!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Ramey a person of integrity I have known Ramey Johnson who is running for Lakewood mayor around 12 years. She has integrity. As a reminder, Webster’s third definition of integrity is: “the quality of being of sound moral principles; uprightness, honesty, and sincerity.” She really cares about people. She
Isn’t that the truth? He cut to the chase of the matter. Rogers, after becoming known for his rope tricks, became famous as a vaudeville act, a national radio speaker, syndicated columnist and top movie star. One of his most well-known quotes is, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” Years after I performed my first comedy routine, Bud Friedman, impresario of the Improvisation Nightclub in Los Angeles, pulled me aside and bought me a drink. He said, “Mary, I think you are the female Will Rogers.” “Will Rogers?” I gasped. How could I, an attractive young woman in my late 20s, become the female Will Rogers? Wear a dress and twirl a rope? But 30 years later in 2014, the Kirkus reviewer of my memoir “You Fall Off, You Get Back On” compared my writing to that of Will Rogers! Here we go again!

writing workshops partly because of his military service in Iraq, but also because both veterans and caregivers talk of a sense of isolation, of being alone in their struggles. Tucker describes workshop participants who begin to tell their stories as “writing from their hearts, their courage, and their strength.” Most of us know about the connection between language, literature, and empathy, and there is scientific evidence that links such empathetic behavior with storytelling. For Seth Brady Tucker, such storytelling saves. Writing, he says, changed the trajectory of his own life after

his service as an airborne paratrooper in the Gulf. Tucker’s goal as a mentor – as he encounters participants time after time who remain upright, uplifted, and positive about the lives they now lead – is to help provide an avenue for sharing common experiences, expressing emotions they often keep bottled up, and discovering writing as a way to tell stories meaningful to them. For Tucker, mentoring these writers is his way of honoring the sacrifices of both the veterans and the caregivers, For your mentorship of all us with stories to tell – and especially caregivers for our wounded veterans who seek to find their voices – thank you, Seth.

I researched Rogers and discovered we were both born on Nov. 4. Weird! Rogers, a spokesman and humorist for his time, died in 1935 at the age of 56. What a loss to the nation. But his quotes and essays about life in America still ring true today. We haven’t changed much in terms of human nature. One of my favorite quotes by Rogers: “You can roam all over the world. But, after all, it’s what the people at home think of you that really counts.” The more I read, the more I wish we had Will Rogers alive today, making his humorous comments. But for now I’ll read and write about him. He’s quite an inspiration.

Action Center requests school supplies The Action Center’s annual School Supply Distribution serves more than 5,000 Jefferson County students with much needed supplies so they can be successful in the classroom. With standard school supplies running $93 per child, many struggling families face the frightening decision to cut into the utility bill or rent money to get their children ready for school. To support the ever-growing need for school supplies, the center asks the community to support the school supply drive. The community can drop off donations or make an online contribution through The Action Center’s GoFundMe campaign (gofundme.com/theactioncenter). The following items are most needed: notebook paper, spiral notebooks, two-pocket
folders, folders with brads, highlighters, scientific calculators, flash drives, colored pencils, markers, scissors, pencil erasers, pencil bags or boxes, backpacks, loose-leaf paper, and glue sticks. School Supply donations can be dropped off at The Action Center’s Receiving Dock, 8755 W. 14th Ave. Dock hours are weekdays, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to noon. Applications available for NPP program Applications are available for Lakewood’s Neighborhood Participation Program, which provides city grants to fund improvements in neighborhoods. During the 21 years of the program, it has helped pay for items such as sidewalk and bicycle path connections, picnic facilities and playgrounds at neighborhood parks, community gardens, artwork and more. A total of $160,000 is available for grants to neighborhoods in 2016. To be eligible, projects must provide a general benefit to the neighborhood and must be located on public property. A group representing the neighborhood must submit an application to the program. Project proposals compete directly with other proposals and are evaluated based on criteria including the benefit to the neighborhood, health and safety, compliance with the Lakewood Comprehensive Plan and the Community Resources Department’s Comprehensive Master Plan as well as neighborhood support and maintenance requirements. Lakewood City Council makes the final selection of the projects to receive grants. Applications and additional information are available at www.Lakewood.org/ NPP. The deadline to apply is Friday, Sept. 18. For more information, contact Holly Boehm at 303-987-7507 or holboe@lakewood.org.
Action Center in need of volunteers The Action Center needs strong volunteers to pack, sort, move and stack in-kind donations. Volunteers must be able to consistently lift 20 to 40 pounds and must be able to start immediately. Volunteers shifts are available Monday through Saturday and are three to four hours long. The Action Center serves nearly 30,000 individuals in need annually. For more information or to sign-up, please contact Lorraine at 303-237-7704 or lorrainea@theactioncenterco.org. Lakewood Heritage Center to participate in Blue Star Museums The Lakewood Heritage Center will serve the nation’s service members this summer as a 2015 Blue Star Museum, offering free museum admission to active duty military personnel and their families. The Blue Star program is a collaborative effort involving the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and more than 2,000 museums in all 50 states to offer free admission to museums from Memorial Day through Labor Day. This year’s Blue Star museums represent history, fine art, science, nature centers and children’s museums. The free admission program is available to any bearer of a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), a DD Form 1173 ID card, or a DD Form 1173-I ID card and up to five family members. This includes active duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard personnel as well as members of the National Guard and Reserve, U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and NOAA Commissioned Corps. The complete list of participating museums is available at www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums and has more than doubled since the first year of the initiative in 2010.

More focus goes toward making sure students have quality food By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com
O
n the first day of school, students across the Front Range sat down at their desks with their pencils, pens and notebooks, ready to learn. What you may not have know is that 41 percent — 369,673 of Colorado’s 889,006 students — possibly sat there hungry. Which greatly affects their ability to learn. “If you come to school hungry with no breakfast, you’re not thinking about math — you’re thinking about lunch coming up,” said Linda Stoll, executive director of food and nutrition for Jefferson County Schools. According to a 2014 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compilation of 65 studies, books and scholarly articles, not eating breakfast, skipping out on dairy, fruits and Because of new regulations vegetables, and in the Healthy Hunger-Free a lack of key Kids Act: nutrients have • Jell-O is not allowed in a direct link schools, unless fruit is to low student included. achievement.

Parker Garage doesn’t let food out of its sight Parker Garage is launching one of the largest farm-to-table operations in Colorado. In a partnership with Lone Star Ranch, located in nearby Elizabeth, Parker Garage is bringing fresh, local ingredients direct from ranch to restaurant with award-winning executive chef Duy Pham residing on the 1,000-acre ranch to help plant, grow and source ingredients for the restaurant. The Parker Garage menu will reflect the local farm cuisine, featuring as many fresh, seasonal ingredients as available and incorporating Pham’s 25-year, French-inspired culinary expertise. In addition to free-range cattle, the team is raising chickens and honeybees, fresh herbs for the kitchen and the bar, with plans to build a large greenhouse and add goats, ducks and quail to the ranch. “Our new farm-to-table experience will allow us to bring the best local ingredients to our customers and infuse Chef Pham’s passion for crafting an intentionbased menu with hand-selected seasonal ingredients brilliantly prepared,” said Brent Walker, operating owner of Parker Garage. “The partnership with Lone Star Ranch is a perfect match based on our culinary point of view and desire to bring fresh, authentic food and flavors to the dining experience.” Parker Garage was recently visited by the Food Network for an episode of “Carnival Cravings” airing Aug. 26, in which Pham prepares a six-pound tomahawk rib for host Anthony Anderson. For the month of August, Parker Garage will feature a single-serving bone-in short rib in celebration of the Food Network episode featuring Pham’s twist on the tomahawk rib. Limited quantities of the full sixpound tomahawk rib will be available for special order. The full Parker Garage menu features a selection of local meats, seafood and vegetarian entrees, many of which are prepared sous-vide (French for “under vacuum”) as part of Pham’s French cooking technique. In addition, his culinary
team delivers soups and sauces made from scratch, daily lunch and dinner selections from farm-fresh ingredients, with all butchering done in house. The menu rotates seasonally with daily features to reflect Penny Parker fresh sustainable MILE HIGH ingredients sourced from the ranch and LIFE other select purveyors. Lunch and dinner are served seven days a week with Sunday brunch and a personalized chef’s table dining experience. The restaurant also features a wide selection of artisanal cocktails, craft beer and a full wine list. Both the restaurant and Lone Star Ranch are available for private events. Parker Garage is located in the original “Parker Garage” building on Mainstreet built in 1916, which served as the Warhorse Inn restaurant for 30 years. After purchasing the building to launch Parker Garage, the owner/operator team repurposed the historic building, including many of the original materials.

A boutique indoor cycling studio, CycleBar unites riders of all ages and fitness levels by creating an unparalleled multi-sensor journey.

Concerns about the legality of right to entry were also discussed, and council directed staff to get more clarity on terms like “commercial buildings,” so regulations would be as clear as possible. “We’ve had about 10 to 12 complaints of large grows in the last 18 months, so it’s a little less than once a month,” said Police Chief Kevin Paletta. “I believe these regulations are getting at what is best for our community while remaining constitutional.”

Achieving good nutrition “There’s a lot of connection and more and more research every day coming out talking about nutrition and student achievement,” said Emily O’Winter, healthy schools coordinator with Jeffco Schools. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture enacted the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, which regulates funding and all food and nutrition provided in school meals. A specific set of guidelines, the act controls the amount of ingredients in each meal as well as increases the amount of nutrients schools must provide on a daily basis. Under the act, K-12 students must be served a minimum of 2 1/2 to 5 cups of fruit, and 3 3/4 to 5 cups of vegetables per week. Along with those requirements, students are also required to take a whole grain, meat or a meat alternative, SENIOR ACCOUNTANT and a carton of milkFUND with lunch every day.

While commercially made peanut butter is popular, foodies can also make their own homemade peanut butter. Rich in fiber and protein, peanut butter makes a healthy addition to any diet.

Court says baker can’t cite religion Faith not seen as justification for excluding gay customers
By Ivan Moreno Associated Press A Lakewood baker who would not make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple cannot cite his Christian beliefs in refusing them service because it would lead to discrimination, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled Aug. 13. The three-judge panel said in a 66-page ruling that Colorado’s anti-discrimination law does not prevent baker Jack Phillips from believing what he wants, but that if he wants his business open to the public, he is prohibited “from picking and choosing customers based on their sexual orientation.” The decision is the latest victory for gay couples, who have won similar cases in other states. Gay-rights supporters and religious-freedom advocates have passionately debated whether individuals can cite their beliefs as a basis for declining to participate in a same-sex wedding ceremony. And it is bound to get more heated after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized samesex marriage nationwide. That decision
makes the Colorado case “all the more urgent and all the more critical,” said Nicolle Martin, one of Phillips’ attorneys. His attorneys previously said they would consider appealing up to the nation’s high court, noting that more cases are likely to arise in which businesses’ religious convictions clash with gay rights. But any appeal first would go to the Colorado Supreme Court. “Jack simply exercised the long-cherished American freedom to decline to use his artistic talents to promote a message with which he disagrees,” said another of Phillips’ attorneys, Jeremy Tedesco, with the Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom. “The court is wrong to deny Jack his fundamental freedoms.” Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, declined to make a cake for Charlie Craig and David Mullins in 2012. They were married in Massachusetts but planned to celebrate in Colorado. Phillips has been facing fines if he kept refusing to make wedding cakes for gay couples, so his attorneys have said he stopped making them altogether. The baker has maintained that he has no problem serving gay people at his store but says that making a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding would violate his religious views.

What has your experience at Lutheran been like? I’ve worked with a lot of physicians on campus and taken up operations opportunities when I was able. As chief medical officer, I’ve taken more of a leadership role. The previous COO (Peggy Price) retired, and it was kind of a time of transition for us, so I ultimately expressed interest. I wanted to take on more of an operations role, while still working with departments like safety, cardiovascular and oncology, and with volunteers. What are you hoping to do in your new role? I want operations to think strategically and position us for success. Of course, we always need to be providing both high quality health care and the most efficient health care. I’m looking forward to working with my peers on these goals. We need to set up our clinicians to be successful at our hospital. What’s your favorite thing about Lutheran? I really like working with the other people we have here. It seems like everyone who comes here has a connection to the hospital. They will come with chest paints or whatever, and they start telling you about how they know the hospital. The patients and community feel really connected. I feel really confident in describing us as a unique space.

the Department of the Interior designated Red Rocks Park and the Mount Morrison Civilian Conservation Corps Camp as National Historic Landmarks. The designation recognizes the two for possessing exceptional value and quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. The City of Denver purchased the land in 1928, and continues to operate of the two sites as part of its Mountain Parks system. Denver Arts & Venues operates Red Rocks Amphitheatre. “Being awarded National Historic Landmark status is a great achievement, but this is particularly exciting because of the special place Red Rocks holds in the hearts of everyone who calls Colorado home,” Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said in a media release. “Not only is Red Rocks the jewel of our Mountain Parks System and the premier amphitheater in the country, it now holds a well-earned iconic status in the storied history of the United States.” Teen drivers’ education program comes to Golden Tire Rack Street Survival, a national nonprofit advanced teen drivers’ education program, is offering the program to teens 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Colorado State Patrol Track, 2054 Quaker St. in Golden.

Serving the greater good Volleyball teams benefit when players come up aces By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Academy’s Alexa Buis led Class 3A with 77 aces during the 2014 season. Courtesy photos
A VARIETY OF SERVES Types of volleyball serves, according to volleyball.about.com and other sources: Floater — This serve does not spin and is struck with a solid wrist. The serve moves in unpredictable ways, making it difficult to pass. A float serve catches the air and can move unexpectedly to the right or left. Topspin — The wrist is snapped forward, as when throwing, when making contact with the volleyball. This puts spin on the ball. This serve has a more predictable movement but can be hard to handle because of its quick speed. Jump serve — This serve utilizes a high toss that should be several feet in front of the server. The servers use more of an attack approach, jumping and striking the ball in the air. The extra motion allows the server to put more power on the ball, and this can make it a hard serve to handle. The drawback is the extra motion can force a higher incidence of errors. Most jump serves have topspin but it’s possible to jump-serve a floater.
It’s often stated that the serve is one volleyball skill in which the player has complete control. High school girls usually use float serves, topspin serves and jump serves, and teams can benefit if players have good command of these deliveries. “The serve is the most underused weapon in volleyball,” said Rob Graham, coach of Parker’s Ponderosa High School, the 2014 Continental League champion and Class 4A state finalist. “Most coaches will spend time and train offense and defense … but they don’t put their time into not only serving but telling girls where to serve it. The importance of a good server is huge because when you have a girl that can serve short and deep, can serve a topspin and a floater, then we can do whatever that will stretch the other team. “We make all of our kids jump serve. We think serving is that important. You can score so many more points than most people believe. It’s the quickest and easiest way to score a point. Serve a ball, get an ace and you didn’t have to do anything.” Jill Fitzpatrick said good serves helps her team remain competitive. She is the coach for The Academy, a Class 3A charter school in Westminster. “The most important battle in volleyball is the serve-serve-receive game,” she said. “No matter what level you play, from beginners all the way to Olympians, you must win that battle to come out on top. At times, we play teams that are taller or run a quick offense, but we are able to remain competitive because our serving game is so strong.” A player who is effective with a variety of serves gives a coach options. “I like the floater,” said Ponderosa senior Camille Smith. “It is easier than the topspin. Up-close serves I’m not very good at, but the deep ones I’m OK.” Alexa Buis, a senior at The Academy, set a school record and led Class 3A with 77 aces last season. She has an effective, powerful jump-float serve. “It’s taken me three or four years to become the server I am,” said the 5-foot6 Buis. “Having a good service game
helps the team out. I like to go deep …. I don’t feel any pressure. I just go back,
calm myself down and tell myself to get the ball in play and go from there.”
Talented keepers give teams a shot Prep soccer squads bank on player guarding goal By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Goalkeeper has evolved into a more dynamic position in today’s soccer. “The new modern goalkeeping — and I was a goalkeeper — the position has changed in the 20 years since I played,” said Adam Buseck, Heritage boys soccer coach. “It’s more athletic. You have to be able to use your feet and come farther out of the goal and be more a member of the team versus standing back there stopping shots. “For goalkeeping, you look for a lot of intangibles, things like being courageous, being calm under pressure, being able to deal with that pressure, somebody that is confident because there are a lot of decisions to make with the ball being played through or cross. One of the physical qualities you need is to have somebody that moves around.” Ralston Valley coach Kyle Kazemi echoed Buseck’s thoughts about how the responsibilities of a keeper have advanced. “It’s very different,” said Kazemi. “You have to have someone who can play at
“You have to have someone who can play at their feet. You don’t see a kid anymore like that big bull of a kid who will just pick up the ball and knock it 80 yards down the field. They have to be a great shot stopper, but they have to be able to keep it for you.”
Ralston Valley coach Kyle Kazemi
their feet. You don’t see a kid anymore like that big bull of a kid who will just pick up the ball and knock it 80 yards down the field. They have to be a great shot stopper, but they have to be able to keep it for you.” So what goes into making a stellar stopper in the modern game? Ponderosa coach Jim Engels said the development of a good keeper starts at an early age with plenty of training. “It just takes a lot of goalkeeper training at a young age,” he said. “It takes a lot of training at camps, one-on-one training with goalkeeper coaches. Goalkeepers have to have some athletic ability and
some height helps. And you need leadership out of them for sure.” Having a strong feel for the game and all positions on the pitch is crucial, Buseck said. “You want a leader and somebody that is cerebral, who can see the field and understands the game and articulates that to his teammates,” Buseck said. The Heritage coach has a versatile keeper in junior Jack Schulze, who split time last season in goal and also played basketball and lacrosse. Schulze, who has a 0.89 prep career goals against average, plays some as a defender during
club soccer. Schulze has played soccer since age 4. He enjoyed playing multiple positions, before focusing on keeper when he was 11. “Playing in the field definitely got my agility up,” Schulze said. “Just knowing how defenders feel about what they’re doing and how I can help them. I can tell them what to do because I’ve played the position before.” Arapahoe senior keeper James Conley was an All-Centennial League selection last season with a 1.3 goals-against average and 8.9 saves a game. He said he started out as a quiet freshman but learned over the years how important it is to communicate with other players. There’s something special about playing the position, he said, and he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. “Goalkeeper is kind of a unique thing,” he said, “and I’ve always felt such a love for that position.” With great passion comes great responsibility. Keepers know all eyes are on them when a shot is kicked their way. “The pressure of being a goalie is knowing that if everything fails, you’re the last person to be there,” Schulze said. “Then it’s all on you. If you fail, then the whole team looks at you.”

Raceday fun for Golden
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com The race this year is unique because it is the inaugural year for the women’s race. The women’s race will be a criterium race in downtown Golden beginning at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 23. The racers will continuously loop the course for one hour, after which it becomes a three-lap race with a sprint to the finish. Each lap of the course is about 1.3 miles. The official starting line for both USA Pro Challenge races will be just north of 13th Street and Washington Avenue. From there, the women will go right on 18th Street to Illinois Street, where they will take a right and proceed through the Colorado School of Mines campus to 14th Street. They will follow 14th Street to Arapahoe Street where they will make a sharp left turn. From Arapahoe Street, they will turn right onto 11th Street, and follow it back to Washington Avenue, where they will go right to the starting line.
Spectators can watch the race from the sidelines. Exact time has not been determined, but people will also have an opportunity to see the women’s awards ceremony, which will take place at the starting line. The men will race at 1:10 p.m. Aug. 23 starting in Golden, but their race will finish in Denver. The men have the same starting line as the women, but they will do a 4-mile climb up Lookout Mountain, loop through Golden, then race through Wheat Ridge and Lakewood en route to Civic Center Park in downtown Denver. People can watch the men race along the route in Golden, or on the switchbacks of Lookout Mountain. In addition to the races, the city has two additional activities planned. To kick things off, the Local Golden Festival will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Parfet Park at 10th Street and Washington Avenue. The festival will include a beer garden, food trucks and a USA Pro Challenge in-

The bronze statue that sits at 13th Street and Washington Avenue in downtown Golden commemorates the city’s role in the USA Pro Challenge. The statue by sculptor Jeffrey Burnham Rudolph came to the city in 2012. Photo by Christy Steadman
A nameless statue with a colorful history Cycling bronze connected to USA Pro Challenge history
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s easy to remember the impact the USA Pro Challenge has had on Golden: Just look at the bronze statue of a cyclist in the city’s downtown. But the statue has a story of its own. A prerequisite to be a host city for the 2011 USA Pro Challenge was that Golden had to have a commemorative piece of art in the city, said Dan Dwyer, co-chairman of the Challenge’s local organizing committee. So in 2012, the second year Golden was involved in the race, a large trailer brought a bronze statue by sculptor Jeffrey Burnham Rudolph, depicting a racing cyclist. Originally, the statue was modeled after former professional road racing cyclist Levi Leipheimer, winner of the inaugural USA Pro Challenge in 2011. Golden was a host for stage 7 of the race, and the course followed the same route as it does this year — a start in Golden, a climb up Lookout Mountain, then on to downtown Denver for a sprint finish. After the statue’s dedication, it spent some time in the public works department until the city decided on its permanent home at the northeast corner of 13th Street and Washington Avenue. “It’s appropriate for the statue to be where it is,” Dwyer said. Golden is known to have a large cycling community, Dwyer said. Every Saturday and Sunday, people will see a gathering of cyclists congregating on that corner, getting ready for a ride, usually up the breathtaking switchbacks of Lookout Mountain Road — a route also used several times by the USA Pro Challenge. In 2013, the only year the USA Pro Challenge did not come to Golden, Leipheimer was suspended for engaging in performance-enhancing drug use. The city decided it best to remove his name from the statue. The statue then became a generic USA Pro Challenge commemorative piece of art. Then, at some point the following year, a truck taking a turn too quickly crashed into the statue. It was shipped off for repairs. The statue was back in its place in time for the 2014 USA Pro Challenge when Golden was a pass-through city. The statue sits just south of the official start line for the 2015 USA Pro Challenge. Etched into the statue are the words “strength, dedication, discipline, determination.” The words, Dwyer said, personify what it takes to be a good cyclist.

August 20, 2015 For a finale, the Pro Challenge goes back to its roots. This route was the final stage of the first Pro Challenge in 2011 and introduced the world to the cycling crowds on the Front Range. After a short loop north of Golden the race will tackle its main obstacle of the day, the 4-mile climb of Lookout Mountain. Another quick pass of Golden and the race is screaming through Wheat Ridge and Lakewood en route to downtown Denver. Four laps of the familiar Denver circuit await, and Civic Center Park, City Park and 17th street will be treated to blazing speeds as the last prizes of the week are fought over tooth and nail.

People can gear up for race day at Peak Cycles, 1224 Washington Ave. The bike shop has 2015 USA Pro Challenge jerseys available for men and women, Dwyer said.
