An innovative first step Community First hosts first Innovators Society Pitch Showdown By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com It might be tempting to say Project Helping, founded by Justin Kruger, was the winner of The Innovators Society’s first Pitch Showdown on Sept. 30. After all, the organization did win the $50,000 grand prize, and brought in $80,703 in donations. But the real winner of the afternoon was mental wellness in the metro area, as the issue will receive increased attention from six innovative minds.
“We’re all here to focus on mental wellness because a thriving community is a healthy community,” said Amy Humble, member of the Innovators Society steering committee member and co-founder of HumbleBarlow Leadership. “There is going to be new faces, new ideas and new innovations in the field of mental wellness.” The Innovators Society is a new extension of the Community First Foundation, an organization that helps connect nonprofits and donors. Six organizations were selected by Community First to participate: Bright by Three, Clayton Early Learning, Project Helping, Carson J. Spencer Foundation, Im’Unique and CU-Denver, School of Public Affairs. All six have ideas to address the
challenges of mental wellness, but their ideas had not yet been tried. Each received an initial grant of $25,000 and nine months to develop ideas. The Pitch Showdown, held at the Lakewood Cultural Center, was the culmination of months of work with coaches and practicing for all six participants. 250 community members were invited and given $1,800 each from Community First to donate to the participant of their choice, after hearing a five-minute presentation from each. Community members were advised to not consider risk and instead think of which programs they found the most promising. Society continues on Page 8

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com If there’s one word to explain the longevity of Rockley Music Center, it’s adaptability. That’s what Liane Rockley believes. She and her husband, Tobin, are the third generation of Rockleys to operate the music education and instrument service business, which has evolved in many ways over the years. So it’s fitting that when Rockley hit its 70th anniversary in February, there wasn’t any celebration because it was in the process of another change. “At that time, we were doing a transition with our departments and some
Caroline Fuller, whose children attend Wheat Ridge High School, came away from a recent community forum about Jeffco Schools’ proposed bond and tax rate increase still searching for more information. “I’m looking for a reason to feel enthusiastic about 3A and 3B,” she said. “I want to support something for the schools, but I don’t have a warm and fuzzy about it yet.” With just six weeks until decision time, Fuller, like many residents, still are unsure about how to vote. Fewer than 20 people — many of whom were district employees — attended the Sept. 28 meeting at Wheat Ridge High School, the first of five fall community forums with the Jeffco Board of Education to discuss how the $33 million mill levy override and $535 million bond will enhance programming and opportunities for students. The bond is 3A and would provide funds for improvements and repairs to schools. The mill levy override is 3B and would provide funding to attract and retain teachers, mental health staff and help cover state funding gaps.

CALEB IZMIRIAN Bear Creek High School student and National Merit Scholar semifinalist
About me I was born at Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge and have lived in the Lakewood/Littleton area all of my life. I have traveled to Iceland with soccer, Germany with my German teacher, New Zealand with family, and will go to Japan this summer with band. My hobbies include parkour (at Apex Movement Center), running, volleyball, singing and clarinet. I’m with Boy Scouts of America Troop 814 in Lakewood, and recently completed my Eagle Scout Project, which was building and installing bat nurseries with my troop at Harriman Lake. I work part-time at the Littleton Mathnasium as a math tutor. My time at Bear Creek High School I play clarinet in the Wind Ensemble and tenor saxophone in Jazz Band. I sing in “Sounds,” the advanced mixed choir. Last year I was selected for All-State Band and AllState Choir. I ran varsity cross-country and JV track. In theater, I have had lead roles, and I’m an honor thespian. I’m currently playing the role of Linus in our fall show, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” I am very passionate about acting and performance, which has led me to join the Forensics team. Academically, I am fascinated by math and science, particularly chemistry. National Merit Scholar semifinalist I was really honored and excited to
Caleb Izmirian is a student at Bear Creek High School and was recently named a National Merit Scholar semifinalist. He is an actor, runner, musician and chemistry fan. Courtesy of Sharon Wunder, Conspire Design become a semifinalist, which I achieved by scoring well on the PSAT/NMSQT in the fall of 2015. I am proud to represent Bear Creek High School, since I truly believe in our excellent fine arts department and rigorous academic program. The next step in the process is to complete an application, including writing an essay, and get recommendations and transcripts sent. It’s actually a lot like the college application process. Looking to the future I plan to attend college next year, although I have not decided yet on my first-choice school. I plan to major in chemistry and potentially double-major in theater. I’d also like to keep up my study of German, spend a semester abroad, and continue to sing in choirs and play music in band. I wish I could say that the future doesn’t scare me at all, but I’m equally nervous and excited about what comes next.

The first Lakewood legislative group town hall of the 2016-17 session provided attendees an insight into questions they’ll see on the Nov. 8 General Election ballot. Sens. Cheri Jahn (D-22) and Andy Kerr (D-20) and Reps. Brittany Pettersen (D-28) and Max Tyler (D-23) were all on hand to participate in a discussion on the Jefferson County School bond and mill override (3A and 3B), open primary elections, constitutional amendments and medical aid in dying. Some of the measures didn’t have for and against representatives present. But here are two initiatives that did, and what the debate was like: Proposition 106 — A statutory measure that would give mentally competent, terminally ill people with six months or less to live a right to access Medical Aid-in-Dying medication. A patient must ask for the medication three times and two physicians must sign off before it can be prescribed. The medication must be self-administered. In favor — Rep. Lois Court (D-6) said a vote of the people seemed like the right move after a similar bill failed to make it through the legislature in 2015 and 2016. “I’ve seen polling saying 60 to 65 percent of Colorado wants this in place,” she said. “It is all about psychological and physical comfort at the end of life.” Opposed — Peggy O’Keefe spoke on behalf of the No on 106 organization. She said the propositionmultiple flaws, including the fact it does not require a physician

to be present at the time of medicine administration and doesn’t require either of the physicians who approve of the prescription to be experts in the disease the patient has. “We, as voters, don’t often get to vote on an initiative that is life or death,” she said. “Thirty states have seen similar initiatives and have rejected them.” Amendment 71 — Makes it more difficult to amend Colorado’s constitution. Amendments would need to collect signatures from 2 percent of registered voters in each of the state’s 35 Senate districts, and amendments would require 55 percent of the popular vote. Existing amendments could be repealed in whole or part with a 50 percent majority, but the 2 percent signature requirement would still apply. In favor — Pat Steadman (D 31) said it’s too easy to make a change to the state’s governing document. He said the fact that most amendment initiatives focus on getting the proper number of signatures only along the Front Range leaves the rest of the state out of the conversation. “I wish we treated the document with more respect,” he said. “I think people need to set their own agendas aside and ask themselves what should be the best policy to change the government for everyone.” Opposed — Becky Long, advocacy director of Conservation Colorado, said a wide swath of policy groups across the spectrum and state are opposed to the idea. She said one of the problems is that a single district could hold up an amendment, even if every other district was in favor of a measure. “Philosophically, this is an idea we really share, but digging into the initiative, there are problems,” she said. “This measure makes amending the Constitution prohibitively harder.”

Agents Claiming to Be ‘5280 Magazine Five-Star Professionals’ Are Bending the Truth By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® Denver’s 5280 magazine is noted for its reviews of restaurants, doctors, surgeons, dentists and other professionals. But one profession the magazine doesn’t rate is real estate agents. This may come as a surprise to you because of all the real estate agents, including Realtors, who boast that they have been named “FiveStar Professionals” by 5280 magazine. How can that be? Every September, this magazine publishes a multi-page advertising supplement from a Minnesota company which claims to have received consumer nominations for top real estate agents and mortgage brokers. They then solicit those agents for display ads ranging from 1/14th of a page ($445) to a full page ($4,695). That’s according to a 2012 price list. If you don’t pay for a display ad, they just list you with no contact information. Agents who buy the display ads get to write the copy themselves, without editing by the magazine.
Do You Have Our Smartphone App?
Our smartphone app, available for both iPhone and Android devices, lists over 50 categories of service providers who have been vetted by us or our clients. They do not pay to be on the app.
It’s a win-win for everyone except buyers and sellers. 1) The magazine gets to sell a large number of advertising pages without any production costs other than printing. 2) The Minnesota company makes a lot of money on the upsells (which also include plaques for your office and the right to use the Five Star logo in your advertising), and 3) the agent gets to claim he or she is a “5280 Five Star Professional.” I’ve been writing about this scheme since 2013, because I consider it unethical and possibly illegal for an agent to represent that he or she is an honoree of the magazine, when they merely appeared in a paid advertising supplement. It would be like me claiming to be a Denver Post columnist because this column appears in that newspaper. I would never do that. Instead, I only say that I write a column which is published in the Denver Post and in four weekly newspapers, including this one. What would you think if I named certain Realtors (who paid me lots of money) “Elite Realtors” and profiled them in a multi-page advertisement in the Denver Post, and let them promote themselves as “Denver Post Elite Realtors.” That’s no different than agents calling themselves “5280 Five-Star Professionals.” Those agents who are Realtors (members of a Realtor association) are, in my opinion, violating the Realtor Code of Ethics when they claim they were “named” a Five-Star Professional by

this highly respected city magazine which does name top doctors and surgeons. As you can imagine, the magazine expends considerable editorial resources in selecting those medical professionals before printing their names and writing their reviews. (The doctors and surgeons don’t write their reviews!) Those “Top Doctors” are profiled in the August issue, and it’s the main headline on that issue’s cover (left). By contrast, the September issue of 5280 (below) containing the Five-Star ad supplement doesn’t mention it on the cover or in the magazine’s table of contents, or even on the magazine’s website — because it’s only an ad! As a journalist, I’m upset that a magazine would permit an advertiser to trade on its name and reputation in this manner. I think advertisers should only say “As advertised in 5280 magazine.” Instead, you and I find agents promoting themselves as “5280 Magazine Five-Star Professional in 2012, 2013, 2014,
2015 and 2016!” or even “Named a Five-Star Professional by 5280 Magazine.” It’s simply a deception, a misrepresentation and a violation of the Realtor Code of Ethics. I have been complaining about this scheme since 2013 and no one has acted on it — except one Realtor who filed a Code of Ethics complaint, claiming I violated the provision of the Code which prohibits speaking ill of other Realtors. I was disappointed when the ethics panel found me guilty as charged!

Healthy food for healthy living Kaiser employees plant raspberry patches at community farm By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com In many ways, farming is about the future. One plants seeds, knowing growth may not be seen for many months. The City of Lakewood, Sprout City Farms and Kaiser Permanente looked to the future on Sept. 28, by hosting a volunteer day with Kaiser employees at the Mountair Park Community Farm. “It’s amazing to see what a community garden can do for the community,” said Mayor Adam Paul as he kicked off the day. “We’re grateful to you guys for coming out. What makes Lakewood great is partnerships like this.” About a dozen Kaiser employees spent the day at the park planting a new berry patch and painting a mural on one of the farm’s walls. The farm was started in 2014 as a part of the 20-minute neighborhood initiative, which is funded by the Denver Regional Council of Governments and focuses on enhancing the

program, and residents participate in workshops, schools programs and cooking demonstrations. “We’re in our third season at Mountair, and people are starting to feel
really welcome at our farm,” said Katie Huszcza, Sprout City’s Mountair Farm manager. “This is a long-term project for us, one we’ve been chipping away at for a while,” added Laura Lavid, Sprout City’s executive director. Under flawless blue skies, Kaiser employees stood out against the browning landscape in their neon green T-shirts. Half the employees handled the mural painting, the other had the chance to get dirt under their fingernails planting raspberry plants. The is the second autumn Kaiser has spent a volunteer day at the farm. Last year employees planted trees. “I’ve been with Kaiser for about four years, but this is the first time my schedule worked out to where I could participate,” said Jacob Wager, Kaiser’s government relations liaison. “It’s a great opportunity to spend a day out in the community.” The day is a win-win for everyone — the farm receives some care, and Kaiser gets to help the community firsthand. “Days like this really fit with our mission,” Wager said. “Healthy food is so important for healthy living.”
CRIME NEWS IN A HURRY Man found guilty of pimping 17-year-old A Jefferson County jury found Cravaughn Lacrae Maloy, 21, guilty of four counts of pimping a 17-year-old female. Following four days of trial, the jury found Maloy guilty of pimping of a child, patronizing a prostituted child, keeping a place of child prostitution and inducement of child prostitution, according to information provided by the 1st Judicial
District Attorney’s office. Maloy was arrested and charged by the district attorney’s Human Trafficking Unit for sex trafficking a girl between June 23 and July 1, 2014. Maloy met the runaway teen victim near a liquor store on West Colfax in Lakewood in June 2014, the news release stated. He took her to an apartment and gave her a place to
sleep. Maloy told her that she would have to prostitute for him to be able to stay with him. According to the release, photos were taken of the teen in lingerie and then posted to websites used to solicit men to have sex with the teen. Money from the customers was given to Maloy. Sentencing for Maloy has been set for Nov. 21.

JEFFCO COMMISSIONER RACE, DISTRICT 2
Incumbent wants to stay on track for reaching goals
Commissioner Casey Tighe running for re-election
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some people describe Casey Tighe as a non-politician politician. “He’s very personable,” said Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul. “He’s not just going to tell you what you want to hear. He’ll have a conversation. He’s always willing to discuss the pros and cons of an issue with anybody.” That, Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan added, is what makes him a “gifted politician.” Tighe is running in the November election to be re-elected as the county commissioner representing District 2, Tighe which encompasses the central part of Jefferson County. Tighe, a Democrat, is running against Frank Teunissen, a Republican who is an active in the Jeffco business community with a background in the banking and finance industry. Tighe’s main reason for running four years ago was to improve the county’s financial accountability, he said. And although he believes its financial position has improved, there’s still a lot of work to do. He would like to continue a number of initiatives he started in his first term, he said. Tighe said he also would like to continue working on conservation opportunities with the Jeffco sustainability commission and help coordinate a strong relationship between preservation of open space efforts and economic development. “You need the strong business community to acquire open space,” Tighe said, “and you need open space to attract businesses. Those two work hand-in-hand.” Tighe mentioned one accomplishment from his first term was supporting a pay increase for county employees. When he assumed the seat, employees — and particularly the sheriff’s deputies — were leaving because their pay was not competi-
tive, he said. The raise was modest, Tighe said, but enough to help retain employees. He also serves on the board for the Jefferson Center for Mental Health. Recently, he worked with the center and the district attorney’s office to launch a new housing assistance program that helps people, who meet certain criteria set by the mental health court, become stabilized so they can gain employment and become productive members of the community. Tighe said his biggest accomplishment was developing and maintaining good relationships with municipalities and other governmental jurisdictions. “The county and the many municipalities in Jeffco rely upon each other to have strong collaborative partnerships,” said Edgewater Mayor Kris Teegardin. Tighe “has a desire of forging relationships across the spectrum of Jefferson County. He has strong relationships everywhere.” Tighe, 56, has lived in Jefferson County since 1976. He is a graduate of Green Mountain High School. He earned a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder, then completed a law degree at Creighton University in Nebraska. He has been a small business owner, an attorney and, most recently, spent 24 years as the audit director for the Colorado Department of Transportation. Sloan describes Tighe as possessing a mix of “personality, education and experience” that serves him well in his position, along with being “an easygoing communicator.” “He knocks on doors, attends public events and connects with constituents,” Sloan said. No matter if the issue involves a citizen, business, jurisdiction or neighborhood group, Tighe says it is important to find a common ground with all the stakeholders. Then “move forward to a solution.” If re-elected, he says he will continue to work toward developing a good plan for the county as it grows, he said. “Jefferson County is so diverse in the people that live here,” Tighe said. “That’s what makes it so great.”

County challenger banking on business knowledge Republican Teunissen an active member of community By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Whether it be a small mom-andpop or a Fortune 500 company, Frank Teunissen understands business relations. Teunissen is running against incumbent Casey Tighe for the seat on the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners that represents District 2 — the central part of the county. If elected, one thing Teunissen will focus on is sensible economic growth in the county. “Jefferson County is competing with all the other counties in the metro area,” he said. “I want us to be the role Teunissen model for the entire state.” To do this, Teunissen plans on working to be attractive to new businesses that bring good jobs to the county and to increase employment opportunities with existing businesses. Teunissen has been in the banking and finance industry for 28 years. In his current role as business relationship manager at Centennial Bank and Trust in Golden, Teunissen sees the challenges businesses face every day, he said. Growth and development are inevitable in Jefferson County, Teunissen said, but residents also appreciate the amenities, specifically the open space. “We’ve got the world’s biggest playground in our backyards,” he said. “I want to make sure we protect it.” Teunissen, 51, has lived in Jefferson County for 28 years. He is active in the Morse Park Neighborhood Organization in Lakewood. His parents brought Teunissen to Morrison in 1977 and he graduated from Bear Creek High School. He then served four years in the Navy. Teunissen met his wife in Chicago while he was taking courses in economics, business management and accounting at William Rainer Harper College, Illinois. The two worked at the same banking institution. In 1999, the family moved back to
Colorado — specifically Jeffco — because Teunissen wanted his three sons to have the same opportunities he had growing up here. Teunissen cares for the betterment of the community, said Rick Enstrom, an executive with his family business, Enstrom Candies, who has known Teunissen for about five years. He has a great work ethic and compassion for others, he added. “He’s the kind of guy,” Enstrom said, “who, during a snowstorm, will help you dig your car out.” A county commissioner’s job is one of the hardest in America, said Enstrom, who was a Mesa County commissioner from 1978-1982. A commissioner has to be clued in to every aspect of the residents, he said. But because Teunissen is fiscally responsible and has a love for his community, he is a fine candidate for the seat, Enstrom said. Volunteering and giving back to the community is important, Teunissen said. He challenges his staff at Centennial Bank and Trust to volunteer somewhere for at least one hour a week. Teunissen was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Lakewood for three years before becoming charter president of the Kiwanis Club of Broomfield/North Metro when it formed in 2010. In 2008, he volunteered on the Jefferson County Economic Development Council, and in 2010, he was involved with the North Metro Governmental Affairs Committee. He completed The West Chamber’s Leadership Jefferson County program and teaches its city government day. Representing the Republican Party, he was first an area coordinator about six years ago, then became district captain for HD 23, which is the northern Lakewood area, for three years. For about 2 1/2 years, he was treasurer for the Jefferson County Republican Party, but recently stepped down so he could run for county commissioner. Two of Teunissen’s strongest attributes are delegating in a positive manner and taking the advice of others, said Andy Inhelder, a mortgage broker who has known Teunissen since 1999 when the two met in the banking industry. “He’s very open-minded,” Inhelder said. And “he’s got a passion for seeing the county grow, and how to make it better.”
“Jefferson County is competing with all the other counties in the metro area. I want us to be the role model for the entire state.”

The measures are on the Nov. 8 General Election ballot. Together, they would increase residential taxes by $49.44 a year for every $100,000 in home value. Non-residential properties would pay an additional $180.36 a year for every $100,000 of property value. “What we’re asking for is the ability to take control of our own destiny and get some stable funding,” said board member Brad Rupert, who was at the forum with board member Ali Lasell to provide information and answer questions. Some specific bond projects include classroom additions for middle schools related to the proposed shift of sixth grades from elementary to middle schools; and additions and renovations to gyms, weight rooms, turf fields and tennis courts at a number of high schools. “I’m a little concerned about where we’re going because we know there will be more cuts,” Lasell said, adding that Jeffco is one of 11 Denver-metro school districts seeking bond or mill levy money this fall. “I don’t want to think about the difficult decisions we’re going to have to make if the mill and bond does not pass.” Charter schools, which make up 10 percent of the school district, would also receive 10

Photo by Shanna Fortier percent of the funding for projects including renovations, additional parking, library additions and roof repair. Ongoing district needs addressed by the potential mill levy override include making up for reduced state funding, employee recruitment and retention, mental health support for schools, and security and emergency management. One-third of the mill levy override money will go toward attracting and retaining great teachers, Lasell said. “On average, our teachers are making about 19 percent less than teachers in our surrounding districts.” The reason for that, Lasell said, is because when the recession hit, teachers opted for a pay cut instead of reducing programming
at the schools or creating larger class sizes. “Those teachers decided they were not going to let the schools feel the pain,” Lasell said. “And the idea was that when times got better, we were going to make things right.” But teacher salary has not increased in Jeffco and the school district is seeing increasing turnover rates, Lasell said. In 2015, the teacher turnover rate for Jeffco Schools rose 6 percent over the past two years. “Our awesome veterans who are the people that trained our newbies and made them excellent teachers are leaving,” Lasell said. “But a lot of our teachers stayed because they are Jeffco-proud. There is something about Jeffco.”

“I think it’s a fun way to raise money, and it’s great there’s so much diversity in the room,” said Katie Heideman, who was invited to participate by her employer. “It’s really unique to have a collaborative approach to giving money.” The community members logged into Community First’s website after all the presentations were completed on their smartphones and donated in real time, and after about 15 minutes, the six innovators were able to see how much money they raised. About 40 community leaders were selected by Community First to work with the innovators throughout the process, and they decided who won the $50,000 grand prize based on overall growth and progress. “The idea of all this is one of
the most innovative approaches I’ve seen to identifying needs and finding solutions,” said Regina Huerter, a member of the “Core 40.” “I think Community First is really onto something with this community approach-building approach.” The approaches the innovators came up with to improve mental wellness was varied — Bright by Three offers daily parenting tips via text, the Carson J. Spencer Foundation wants to work with middle school students on suicide prevention, and Project Helping uses volunteering to combat
depression and anxiety. “It’s hard to put into words to be the grand prize winner,” Kruger said after the event. “We’re just three years old, so sometimes it’s difficult to know what works and what doesn’t. All six innovators will use the funds to expand their projects in new and exciting ways, but the money wasn’t the only benefit. “Getting to work with these coaches for the past nine months was so huge,” Kruger said. “Without their expertise and advice, none of this would have happened for any of us.”

Feeling all partied out I have only recently started to appreciate the degree to which smart people seem to be able to see around corners and into the future. For instance, if you go back a bit to a couple seasons of “The West Wing,” those writers had entire story lines related to candidates with hidden health issues and primary seasons that led to contentious conventions. Sound familiar? Or, for instance, take the following quotes (slightly altered to fit the vernacular) from a famous American, and see if they don’t ring true today. “One of the tools of Party to acquire power, on some issues, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other issue groups. You cannot guard yourselves too closely against the inflammatory nature of these lies.” “But it is easy to predict that different issue groups will go to any length to convince you that the natural and beneficial sense of unity that binds our country and its people together, and the strength we derive from it, is an illusion.” “The mischief of Party … serves always to distract public debate and weaken good government. It agitates the country with petty envy and alarmist extremism, stirs animosity of group against group, and breeds dissension and separatism. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.” I cannot read those lines without shaking my head at the degree to which our country has walked into this trap of Party. In fact,
my old friend Michael and I, whom I have written about before, have been bantering lately the idea of what it would take to break the power of the two major political parties. And, though we agree on almost nothing politically, we come together at the point of Michael Alcorn recognizing that party politics has left us in HITTING a dreadful mess as we HOME approach the November election. Consider that, according to public polling, neither Trump nor Hillary manage to crack the 50 percent mark on being suitable to be president. But, somehow, within the bifurcated camps that are the Democrats and the Republicans, these two managed to overwhelm the other aspirants for tribal leadership enough that, now, we, as a country, are stuck with two people, neither of whom most of us want to be sitting in the Oval Office. And, as if presidential politics weren’t discouraging enough, consider that over the last six months, both Democrat factions and Republican factions within the Congress have blocked legislation that would have provided more resources for the Veterans’ Administration. Resources that might have, oh, I don’t know, staffed the suicide help hot-
line so that one in three vets who call in don’t have to wait on hold. Talk about “weakening good government.” And you can’t even turn on football without being reminded that certain issue groups have made it a point to emphasize the ways in which we are not united. You want to know what I find particularly sad about these prophecies? That the source of them was the one man who was strong enough to shepherd the country through its birth, to supervise its efforts to recreate a more perfect union, to bring into existence the forms of government that we have today, and who, then, walked away from power when he could have claimed it for life. He knew no Party — he was simply American. Of course, I’m talking about George Washington, who put all these verses together in his Farewell Address. Our very first President warned us of just what has come to pass today. 220 years ago, this wise and incorruptible man saw what we have become. We’ve been warned: “The miseries which result eventually lead men to seek safety in the absolute power of one individual; and, sooner or later, the leader of one Party who is stronger than her or his opponents, will use this to seize everything, on the ruins of Public Liberty.” Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His novels are available at MichaelJAlcorn.com

Please keep in mind the following ground rules: • Limit your letter to 300 words or fewer. • Keep it polite: Do not resort to name calling or “mud slinging.” • Include a source for any information that is not common knowledge. We will not publish information that cannot easily be verified. • Submit your letter by 5 p.m. on Friday in order for it to appear in the following week’s newspaper.
• Only submit ideas and opinions that are your own — and in your own words. Colorado Community Media will not publish any letter that is clearly part of a letter-writing campaign. • Include your full name, address and phone number. We will only publish your name and city or town of residence, but all of the information requested is needed for us to verify you are who you say you are. • If you are submitting a letter to the editor related to the Nov. 8 election, do so by 5 p.m. Oct. 21. Thank you, and we look forward to your letters.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Walk or bike Having lived out of state for five years, and having recently moved back to Denver metro, the increase in traffic jams, air pollution and obesity over these last five years is obvious. I would like to point out some of the many advantages of walking, riding a bike and taking RTD or the train whenever possible, such as: Remaining fit and living longer with less disability. Decreased poverty and lower health insurance premiums (by avoiding early obesity-related illness and disability). Decreased horrible traffic
jams, fatal accidents and roadrage incidents. Maintenance of an environment that does not sicken or kill asthmatics and others with lung disease. Having more time to catch up on work (on the bus or train) rather than fight traffic. Doing your part to avoid contributing as much to global warming and consequent anticipated coastal refugee crisis. Saving money by not owning more cars per family or group of housemates than needed. Increased ability to be appealing as a mate by staying fit Letters continues on Page 11

via walking, running or biking to the train or bus. Alice Neumann Lakewood All for sixth-grade switch I was a public and private school teacher (mostly sixth grade) for 16 years and am now a Golden business owner in the field of education. I am also a Jeffco mom of a middle schooler and a fifth grader. In my experience as an educator and parent, sixth graders are very successful in the middle school setting. In fact, as a sixth-grade teacher for many years, I preferred having my students in a middle school setting because most 11-year-olds are ready to spread their wings, have multiple teachers and electives, take science daily, and learn to juggle the demands and rewards of middle school life. Yes, believe it or not, middle school can be rewarding! The key is for middle schools to ensure that sixth graders are treated differently than other middle schoolers! In my son’s Jeffco middle school, Bell, sixth graders were grouped together in a distinct part of the school to decrease travel time between classes and help them feel like they were part of the sixth-grade family. Sixth graders at Bell had lunch together and without any eighth graders. Another school in which I taught had a similar model and it worked beautifully. Sixth graders felt nurtured and safe when the school honored the fact that it is a transition year. I can confidently say that Jeffco parents and educators will enjoy having sixth graders in their middle schools for all of the reasons discussed above and more. I am thrilled that my daughter will go to sixth grade in a middle school and enjoy the same exciting year my son had. Additionally, I am grateful that my son will have had three full years at Bell growing into a knowledgeable and (mostly!) responsible teenager who is undoubtedly ready for high school.

Elle Skelton, Lakewood Presidential candidate debate We felt obligated to sit through the debate, instead of the more sophisticated Sonny and Cher re-run. The Donald missed the boat by not taking advantage of Hillary’s tax-the-rich manifesto (Is anybody working for poor man?). Hillary dragged out the decades-old pejorative, “trickle-down economics” to belittle Reagan’s supply-side economics, which nearly doubled federal revenue, while dramatically cutting taxes and leaving money for people to spend. Donald didn’t direct enough shouting toward outrageous corporation taxes, the reason for migration out of the U.S. All we got were embarrassing Hilliaryisms, aimed at the economically illiterate, and a restrained, ineffective Trump. Tom Graham, Arvada Jeffco bond an incredible opportunity This November, Jeffco voters have an incredible opportunity to make a significant difference for our great school system by voting yes on Jeffco Schools 3A & 3B. Jeffco Schools 3A, a mill levy override, will allow Jeffco to offer competitive salaries to attract and retain the best teachers, increase the safety and security of our students, fund a half-time counselor in all elementary schools, and prepare students for careers and college by expanding programs such as STEM, career and tech education, art, music, and PE. The bond, 3B, will upgrade safety and security in our buildings, make long overdue repairs and improvements to 110 schools, renovate or expand 45 schools, build four replacement schools, build three new schools in high growth areas, and ensure Jeffco students have access to current technology. 3B will support Jeffco’s plan to implement a 6-8 middle school configuration

Big fan for Perlmutter So, last week a letter writer from Arvada claimed there was some sort of “constitutional scorecard” out there that gave our Rep. Ed Perlmutter a low score for his votes on Obamacare, which Republican appointee Chief Justice Roberts said was constitutional, and on abortion, which we all know has been constitutional since the Supreme
Supporting 3A and 3B right thing to do I’m voting for the Yes on 3A and 3B campaign because I’m a mother and it’s the only ethical thing to do. Since the day we stepped into school in 2009, my child and 86,000 others have endured cuts to their education. The average school building in Jeffco is more than 45 years old. 110 elementary, middle and high school buildings will receive repairs and improvements long overdue including roofs, plumbing, electrical, lighting and mechanical; providing opportunities for students to learn in safe environments by extending the life of these schools and better utilization of facilities. Parents everywhere are paying fees that were unheard of when I was growing up. We’re selling cookie dough to fund basic necessities, an unstable and inequitable system for funding our public schools. As the parent of a middle schooler, I have to bring up the safety and security resources that are needed. Any parent with children in schools has heard of the drills our children learn, lockdown and lockout. This is our reality in 2016. Along with this comes inadequate funding and a conversation that needs to happen especially in Jeffco. Please consider this factor as an imperative need as we have an opportunity to make a difference with 3A and 3B. The district is committed to protecting their safety and security, and a review of the facilities has identified high priority safety needs at our schools that will be funded by 3A 3B. The cost of my favorite drink at Starbucks is $6.74. Taking care of all 86,000 students and more than 12 million square feet of by the buildings costs just $4.12 per month. As a mother and volunteer, I am asking that you join in voting Yes on 3A and 3B. Shawna Fritzler, Arvada/Golden

Trump and his tax returns Donald Trump’s taxes contain the information upon which he is basing his campaign — his claim to superior financial worth, knowledge and largess. The public needs to see the evidence! Hillary has released 39 years of her taxes. She has already had her emails extensively reviewed ... likewise, regarding Benghazi and the Clinton Foundation (“A” rating, higher than the Red Cross!) All claims against her have been investigated, mostly led by Republicans, with nothing prosecutable found on any of them! Donald’s tax returns (requested of all presidential candidates), have been under audit for 15 years — already a red flag! After we see those, a prosecutor needs to report on allegations about Trump “University” (including the “donation” made right before a prior case was dropped) and the Trump “charitable” Foundation! Only then will Donald Trump’s vetting be somewhat comparable to that of Hillary’s! His refusal to cooperate already tells me plenty! Ray Goodhart, Golden

Real men wear pink Campaign raises breast cancer awareness among men By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Breast cancer, a disease generally associated with women, also impacts the lives of many men: Raymond Mencini, a breast radiologist at St. Anthony Hospital, diagnosed his wife with breast cancer seven years ago. Denver resident John Dye’s wife was first diagnosed with breast cancer 25 years ago, just one month after the couple married. Highlands Ranch resident Marvin Kokes lost his mother to breast cancer when she was 62 years old. These men are part of a new Real Men Wear Pink campaign to bring awareness about breast cancer in the community of men and raise money for the American Cancer Society. This October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — 19 prominent men throughout Denver will sport the color pink every day as well as raise a minimum of $2,500 each. The money will go towards the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Oct. 23 and, ultimately, towards research on the disease. “It’s an important cause,” Mencini said, “until we eradicate it.” About one in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer — which means the cancer has grown into the body’s normal tissue — over the course of her lifetime, Breastcancer.org reports. In 2016, an estimated 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women, along with 61,000 new cases of non-invasive — also called in situ — breast cancer. This type of breast cancer stays within the milk ducts in the breast. Men are also at risk. In 2016, the American Cancer Society estimates about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men and about 440 men
will die from the disease. “It’s not just a women’s disease,” said Cristina Johnson, community manager of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. “Both men and women can be affected.” Mencini, medical director of St. Anthony Breast Center, saw a different, more personal side of breast cancer when his wife, Gail, battled it. She’s now a seven-year survivor. “It’s a passion for me that women get the best, most compassionate care they can,” said Mencini, who is also chairman of the Centura Health Physician Group board. A huge part of the fight against breast cancer is attitude and having a support system, Gail said. She spends a lot of time talking to patients. “You get this big ‘C’ diagnosis and it’s terrifying,” she said. “You don’t know what to do.” Mencini wears a pink tie every day, he said, so continuing it through the month of October will not be difficult. Dye, executive vice president and general counsel of Western Union, was 27 and newly married when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. The disease had spread to her lymph nodes and doctors gave her a 30 to 40 percent chance of survival. She’s been cancer-free for 25 years. The disease affected everything, from having kids to their quality of life, Dye said. The couple ended up using surrogate pregnancy to have children. “It’s a challenge for spouses as well,” Dye said. “People need advice — they need advocates.” Which is why it’s easy for him to support the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, he said. Kokes, senior vice president of industry and member services for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, is shopping to expand his pink wardrobe for the campaign, he said. He’s also considering painting his office pink. Kokes grew up on a ranch east of Sterling, about 128 miles from Denver. His mother died of breast cancer about 14 years ago. “She was the matriarch of the family,”

GOING PINK FOR OCTOBER
WHO’S INVOLVED?
In support of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, Colorado Community Media is going pink! Search this week’s paper and look for ads with pink ribbons. Each advertiser that displays a pink ribbon has made a special donation toward local breast cancer research. For more details on the pink ribbon promotion, please see the ad in this week’s paper. Colorado Community Media also will feature special editorial coverage throughout October to bring awareness about breast cancer and inspiration through the stories of people who have fought the disease. A portion of all pink ribbon sales will go toward breast cancer research. If you wish to show your support through a story idea, please contact Ann Healey at ahealey@coloradocommunitymedia.com or if you would like to make a financial donation to local breast cancer research, please contact Erin Addenbrooke at eddenbrooke@coloradocommunitymedia. com.
Other men involved in the campaign include Ben Higgins, ABC TV’s former Bachelor; Joe Woods, defensive backs coach of the Denver Broncos; and Jim Berry, program director at KOOL 105 radio station and a breast cancer survivor. There’s also Randy Savona, mountain states regional sales manager of Cigna Group Insurance; Scott Dishong, senior director of corporate partnerships for the American Cancer Society in the Rocky Mountain region; and Pete Casillas, president and publisher of the Denver Business Journal.
BREAST CANCER SCREENING GUIDELINES Breast cancer typically produces no symptoms when a tumor is small and most easily treated, the American Cancer Society says, which is why it’s so important for women to follow screening guidelines: • Women ages 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year.
Kokes said. “She raised six kids.” The research and effort it takes to find a cure for the disease requires money, he said. He saw the campaign as an opportunity to give back. “Cancer,” he said, “touches everyone — from all walks of life.”

• Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every two years. • And all women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any changes to a health care provider immediately.

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

Pumpkin is everywhere, from lattes to pies to bread By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com
M
any people may think of pumpkin-flavored drinks and food as nothing more than the seasonal fad that comes around each fall. For others it’s simply an exalted, or sensationalized, latte flavor. But not so fast. According to Denver-metro chef Jason Morse and Arvada nutritionist Jess Sorci, pumpkin has real benefits in both the kitchen and your diet. “It’s hardy, it’s durable, it’s a good fall flavor,” Morse said. Morse has worked as a chef for 22 years. He is currently a chef and grill expert with ACE Hardware and owns 5280 Culinary. Whether cooking a bread pudding, a pie, a cheesecake, or even making a blizzard, there’s always a good way to work it into a recipe, he said. Plus, there are many ways to cook with pumpkin that people don’t often think about. Pumpkin ravioli, gnocchi or fettuccine make for great dishes, he said. In Morse’s words, pumpkin is a flavor that crosses over nicely between sweet and savory. It can also be used in a stew or pasta recipe. “I think you could definitely use it year round,” he said. His advice when cooking is to be sure that canned pumpkin is 100 percent the real deal. Or, he said, purchase a small and firm pumpkin-pie pumpkin to split and roast.
FUN FACTS ABOUT PUMPKINS • In 2014, U.S. farmers produced 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins in the top six states. • The top six pumpkin-producing states are: Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and California. • The largest pumpkin pie ever made was 20 feet in diameter and weighed 3,699 pounds. Sources: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Guinness World Records “And,” he said, “don’t be afraid to experiment.” Pumpkin’s nutritional benefits are well worth it, said Sorci, a master nutrition therapist. Pumpkin is nutrient-dense, she said, meaning it is high in nutrients but low in calories. It’s also a great source of fiber, protein, antioxidants and vitamins A and C. “I think pumpkin often gets overlooked,” she said. Antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin protect the eyes from UV rays, while pumpkin’s potassium helps lower blood pressure. According to Sorci, 100 grams of pumpkin seeds is about 30 grams of protein. Back to cooking, Sorci has some tips of her own. “You can actually use pumpkin puree in place of butter and oil in baking,” she said.
Pumpkin cheesecake By chef Jason K. Morse, C.E.C., 5280 Culinary, LLC Crust 2 cups gingersnaps, crushed 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1 stick butter, melted 2 tablespoons hickory smoked salt In a medium mixing bowl, add the crushed gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and smoked salt. Mix well until all butter is absorbed by the crumbs. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch spring form pan with non-stick cooking spray. Press crumb mixture into bottom of pan. Filling 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese 1 can pumpkin puree 4 whole eggs 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup sour cream 1-1/2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons vanilla paste 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and allow to soften for 20 minutes. Using a hand mixer with paddles beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla paste and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth.

Pour cheesecake batter into the pan over the crust and allow the batter to settle. Place in the oven on the middle rack and cook for 45 minutes. Check the cheesecake, then continue to cook in 10-minute increments until done, approximately 60-75 minutes. Cheesecake should have a firm center with a slight amount of wiggle. Once the cheesecake is set, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes, and then top with smoked salt. Place in refrigerator to cool for at least four hours. Serve well chilled.

The not-so-scary Legend of Sleepy Hollow Miners Alley Children’s Theatre takes on Halloween classic
We spoke to Bell and Poling about why this is the perfect show for your children this Halloween season, and here’s what they had to say:
By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
It’s not scary —
Washington Irving’s classic story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” has been a Halloween favorite since it was first published in 1820. The story has been told in a variety of mediums during the nearly two centuries since it first scared readers, and the Miners Alley Children’s Theatre is bringing the legend back to its roots in its version. Written and directed by children’s theater director Rory Pierce, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” runs through Oct. 22 at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden. Performances are at 1 p.m. on Saturdays. “I’ve loved so many of the iterations of this story since I was a kid,” said Erin Bell, who plays Dame Knickerbocker and Dame Van Tassel in the show. “Rory’s take returns more of IF YOU GO Irving’s original plot to the story.” The play focuses on Ichabod Crane, an outsider WHAT: “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” who has come to Sleepy Hollow to teach, and finds WHERE: Miners Alley Playhouse himself in competition with Brom Bones for the 1224 Washington Ave. hand of Katrina Van Tassel. Things only get more WHEN: Through Oct. 22 complicated for Crane when he learns the town Saturdays - 1 p.m. legend of the Headless Horseman. “The cast is really flexible, which is a good fit for COST: $10 children’s theater,” said Kate Poling, who plays KaINFORMATION: 303-935-3044 or www. trina. “It’s a nice, easy take on a classic story and a minersalley.com great show to get ready for Halloween.”
“Rory has really told the story in a non-threatening way for young audiences,” Bell said. “No one is going to be scared by the appearance of the Headless Horseman.” The production has a “campfire” vibe, Poling added, that is spooky at most, but nothing that would upset younger audiences.
It’s funny — “There is some wonderful silliness built into the play,” Bell said. “It’s just a fun, lighthearted ghost story for kids, with some jokes in there just for parents.”
It’s interactive —

“There’s nothing like pulling a kid on stage to participate. It’s so much fun, and you never know what’s going to happen,” Poling said. “When kids are part of the theater, they get more into the story, and everyone has a blast.”
Blueberries: a super-hero super food This year marks the 100th anniversary of the first commercial harvest of domesticated blueberries. Little did we know this fruit, so tiny in stature, would gain worldwide popularity as the Super Hero of Super Foods, and even have a place in the White House kitchen garden. Today, more than 1 billion pounds of blueberries are produced annually on five continents, with the United States leading the way with 35 states supplying the crop. Heralded for their brain and heart-boosting benefits, people of all ages toss them into salads, stir them into sauces, sprinkle them on ice cream and eat them by the handful. These little blue dynamos have reached such an elite super food status because they are: • Low in fat – one cup serving has only 80 calories
• Full of dietary fiber – one serving provides about 14 percent of the daily fiber requirement • High in vitamin C – one serving delivers 25 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin C • Full of dietary fiber – one serving provides about 14 percent of the daily fiber requirement • An excellent source of manganese – plays an important role in bone development The power of the blueberry “Blueberries are one of the more potent foods in terms of protecting the brain,” stated Martha Clare Morris, ScD, a nutritional epidemiologist who codeveloped the MIND diet (blend of the Mediterranean and DASH diets).
According to a study from Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center, which found adhering to the MIND diet helped reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive degeneration, blueberries can also help prevent brain aging by 7 1/2 years. And take heart, blueberries, rich in antioxidants, can help reduce the buildup of “bad” LDL cholesterol in artery walls that contributes to cardiovascular disease and stroke. Studies conducted at the USDA Human Nutrition Center have found that blueberries rank No. 1 in antioxidant activity when compared with 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables. Picking the perfect blueberry Blueberries should be deep purpleblue to blue-black and feel firm, dry, plump and smooth-skinned to the touch.
Frozen, dried or fresh, blueberries’ nutritional value remains the same. Rinse them just before snacking and eat them within 10 days and be sure to keep them refrigerated. Blueberries have earned a well-deserved place in your daily diet for better health. For delicious recipes and tips for cooking, visit the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council.

Tigers host pink event, raise awareness Eleven teams join Lakewood for Oct. 1 gymnastics meet By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lakewood High School gymnasium buzzed with comments, cheers and a ton of pink decorations as a dozen teams took part in the Oct. 1 Think Pink Invitational Gymnastics Meet. Lakewood won the team title with a score of 177.1 and Cherry Creek was second with a score of 176.0. Amber Boll of Lakewood won the all-around competition with a score of 37.9. She also finished first in uneven parallel bars and in balance beam. Lakewood annually holds its Think Pink Invitational to raise awareness of breast cancer. There were pink decorations all around the gym and the Tiger gymnasts wore pink. The Think Pink meet at Lakewood always is special because long-time Tiger gymnastics coach Mary Beth Artemis is a breast cancer survivor. Artemis, now retired from coaching the Tigers, opened the meet with a reminder of how the Think Pink Invitational honors those who lost their battles with breast cancer and celebrates survivors. Before the meet started, new Tiger Coach Jamie Zeeman said this year Lakewood is a young team with only two seniors on the roster and half the 20 gymnasts are sophomores. A few are competing for the first time. Gymnasts continues on Page 28
KEEPING SCORE WITH... ASHLEY MADDEN Pomona three-sport athlete
I’m wondering if anybody can remember those pop quizzes that teachers and professors used to give near the end of class. It was then I realized that maybe I should have paid more attention. It’s time for a pop quiz for all casual high school football fans. Teams will start play this week in the new football alignments for all divisions and now is the time to test the recollection of these new leagues that are used for Jim Benton football only. So does OVERTIME anybody know which league Westminster will compete in? What about Legend, Ralston Valley, ThunderRidge, Arapahoe, Heritage or D’Evelyn? These league alignments will be in place again next season in the two-year cycle, but the conference placements could all be changed again, so short-term memory could be helpful. Westminster, by the way, plays in the Mount Antero League, Legend in Mount Lincoln, Ralston Valley in Mount Wilson, ThunderRidge in the Mount Cameron and Arapahoe in Mount Massive. Heritage is a member of the Class 4A Plains League and D’Evelyn and plays in the 2A Flatirons League. Class 5A has been reduced from 50 to 42 teams and the playoff field for 5A has been sliced to 16 teams. The computer-generated Ratings Performance Index will determine the nine playoff teams that are not league champions. A running quarterback Trey Windham was Cherry Creek’s running back but stepped up to take over as the quarterback after the Bruins’ starting and backup signal callers were injured. Windham figured in all the Bruins’ touchdowns in the 41-26 loss to Valor Christian on Sept. 29. He completed 10 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns and carried the ball 12 times for 98 yards and another score.

Alameda boys soccer begins league title defense Younger team attempting to improve upon last year’s performance By Dennis Pleuss Jeffco Public Schools LAKEWOOD — Alameda International’s quest for back-to-back Class 4A/3A Colorado 7 League boys soccer titles began Monday at Lakewood Memorial Field. The Pirates (4-3-2 overall, 1-0-0 in league) started its conference schedule with an impressive 9-2 victory over Weld Central (1-8, 0-1). Alameda had a threeheaded scoring monster with senior Brian Varela, junior Lodrigue Byamungo and sophomore Derik Gutierrez. The trio combined for eight goals and four assists against the Rebels from Keenesburg. “We’ve got some guys who can put it in the back of the net,” Alameda coach Steve Houwen said. “That is something we’ve been working on because when we started the season it was hard to come by goals.” The Pirates graduated six seniors from last year’s team. Houwen said all six were on the offensive side of the ball. Alameda had to find new personal to give the Pirates a scoring punch. Gutierrez got Alameda off to a quick start Monday with a pair of goals in the first four minutes. Both were assisted by Byamungo. Varela put in the Pirates’ third goal in the 23rd minute on an assist by Byamungo. Varela returned the favor a minute later assisting on Byamungo’s first goal. “We have to play strong and not let anything through,” Varela said of the desired style of play this season. “We need to keep shooting and making goals.” After taking a 4-0 halftime lead, the Pirates keeps things going with Gutierrez picking up his third and fourth goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half before taking a seat on the bench. Byamungo put in his second goal and Varela
Alameda International sophomore Derik Gutierrez (4) attempts to get his foot on the ball as Weld Central sophomore Pedro Guardado (8) closes in during the Pirates’ conference opener in the Colorado 7 League on Sept. 26. Gutierrez scored four goals in Alameda’s 9-2 victory at Lakewood Memorial Field. Photo by Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Public Schools scored on a penalty kick to make it an 8-0 lead in the 63rd minute. Alameda starting goalie Casey Pruitt got into the scoring mix with the Pirates’ final goal in the 73rd minute. Weld Central did prevent the shutout with goals from senior Sergio Gonzales and sophomore David Melendez late in the second half. “It’s nice to get into league and it’s nice to get healthy again,” said Houwen, who didn’t have the services of Byamungo for a few of games due to injury. “We played some quality opponents and that is what we need to do to get better for league.” This is Alameda’s third year playing in the Colorado 7. Houwen has made it a point to schedule some non-league games against former 4A Jeffco foes. Al-
ameda suffered a 2-0 loss to D’Evelyn and 1-0 defeat to Golden during a three-game losing streak the Pirates were able to snap Monday night. “Our goal is to go back-to-back,” Houwen said about the Pirates going 6-1 in the Colorado 7 League last year in winning the conference champions. “It’s not going to be easy. It’s a good league.” Fort Morgan and Skyview should be in the league mix. There are also some old 4A Jeffco foes who will challenge Alameda. Arvada and Conifer both moved out of the 4A Jeffco League for the next two-year cycle to play in the Colorado 7. “This is a league we can compete in,” Houwen said of the Colorado 7. “None of our kids play club soccer. That is a real
determinate when you have other schools who have club players who have been playing for a real long time.” Alameda was the No. 18 seed for the 4A state tournament last year after winning league. The Pirates suffered a 2-0 loss to Denver North in the opening round. “Last year was heartbreaking,” Varela said of Alameda’s state tournament loss. The Pirates continue their journey to a conference repeat when they hit the road to face Conifer Friday, and Fort Morgan on Oct. 11 Dennis Pleuss is a communication specialist for Jeffco Public Schools with a focus on athletics and activities.

“All the girls have some gymnastics training and we do have several girls who compete in gymnastics all year,” she said. “We work with our young gymnasts in practice to help them develop the techniques and improve their skill levels so they will more competitive as individuals and we will be more competitive as a team.” Zeeman knows Lakewood gymnastics well — she is a 2010 LHS graduate and was a Tiger gymnast. “I loved being coached by Mary Beth and I was honored when I was selected to take over the team when she retired,” she said. Tiger sophomore Paige Drewek said her parents put her in gymnastics at age 2, probably as a way to burn up energy. “I love the sport,” she said. “I enjoy the competition and my favorite event is floor exercise. I really love doing floor exercise because I sometimes feel like I am flying and I can show off my dancing ability.”

Heisman Watch Christian McCaffrey, the Stanford junior and Valor Christian graduate who was last season’s Heisman Trophy runner-up, is chasing Louisville sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson this season in the chase for college football’s most prestigious honor. In an ESPN experts Heisman watch poll of 10 voters, Jackson collected all 10 first-place votes. McCaffrey got all the second place votes. Jackson passed for 295 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals’ loss to Clemson on Oct. 1. He rushed for 162 yards and two scores, which gives him a combined 28 TDs that he has accounted for this season by passing or rushing. McCaffrey was held to 49 rushing and 30 receiving yards in a Sept. 30 loss to Washington. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

D’Evelyn handles Evergreen in 4A Jeffco softball action Jags finish league play this week By Dennis Pleuss Jeffco Public Schools DENVER — Eight was enough for D’Evelyn’s softball team Tuesday afternoon against rival Evergreen. The Jaguars (10-5 overall, 2-1 in Class 4A Jeffco) scored eight runs on seven hits while sending 11 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first inning. The big opening inning was all D’Evelyn needed offensively in an eventual 10-3 home victory over the Cougars (9-5, 1-2). “It was really nice how they attacked right away,” D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco said of the 8-run first. “Then we kind of cooled down, popped things up and was getting into easy outs. We’ve been trying to have complete games where we keep scoring.” D’Evelyn led off the game with four straight hits. Bailey Marvel, Angi Reed, Peyton Balbin and Sarah Dirks got the Jaguars rolling. Balbin went 3-for-4 with a pair of triples, a home run and four RBIs. She has proved how valuable young talent can be. Balbin tripled in the fourth and finished off the Jaguars’ scoring with a 2-run home run on a line-drive to left field in the bottom of the sixth inning to make the final score 10-3. “My expectations were just to help the team out,” D’Evelyn’s starting freshman catcher said. “This team is fun and I respect them. I wanted to get hits for them when they need it. I’m just pushing more.” Marvel provided a nice push also going 3-for-4 from the plate, which included a 3-run triple in her second atbat in the bottom of the first inning. “We came out with a lot of hits. We drove in a lot of runs,” Marvel said. “We always come out strong and then seem to flatten out.” After belting seven hits in the first inning, D’Evelyn took its foot off the accelerator. The Jaguars only had five hits
off Evergreen senior pitcher Katie Solis for the remainder of the game. The only runs for D’Evelyn after the first inning came on Baldin’s 2-run inside-the-park home run. “She (Balbin) crushed it,” Porreco said. “She doesn’t act like a freshman. She is aggressive and handles herself.” Evergreen did get on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth inning. The Cougars took advantage of three walks by D’Evelyn pitcher Jamie Lefevre in the inning. Solis picked up an RBI on a
groundout to first base. With only two automatic bids awarded to 4A Jeffco, it may very well be the case that D’Evelyn and Evergreen postseason dreams will be realized or crushed by RPI points. Half of the postseason field will be made up of atlarge bids to make the 32-team regional playoff field. “We’ve just got to win,” Porreco said of the playoff hopes. “I feel good so far. We want to go to the playoffs and prove something.”
Going into Tuesday’s game, D’Evelyn was 23rd in the RPI standings and Evergreen sat near the bubble at 30th. D’Evelyn closed its conference schedule against No. 4 Wheat Ridge (11-5, 2-1) Wednesday, for a shot at the league title.

product liquidation,” Liane said. “We’ve settled into our new approach and wanted to celebrate becoming Lakewood’s oldest retail business.” The business celebrated with a slew of sales in September and a 70th anniversary celebration on Sept. 30, during which longtime supporters and community leaders marked seven decades with champagne, dessert and, of course, music. “Rockley is truly a family business and has stayed that way its whole life,” said Bob Autobee, of the cultural resources firm Autobee & Autobee in Lakewood. “What is special about it is how the business has been able to anticipate a lot of different trends. It might do things that seem counterintuitive, but Rockley makes it a success.” And Rockley’s commitment to the community has inspired loyalty from Lakewood and customers, said Bill Marino, executive director of the Lakewood-West Colfax Business Improvement District. “Rockley really embodies the American entrepreneurial spirit,” he said. “It’s a remarkable story, a
remarkable family and a remarkable business.” The original location of Rockley in 1946 was Colfax and Wadsworth, less than a mile from its current location at 8555 W. Colfax Ave. Founders Melvin and Mildred Rockley — Tobin’s grandparents — sold washers and dryers in addition to print music, record players, and band and orchestral instruments. “In the ‘60s, they got rid of the appliances and embraced the growing record industry,” Liane said. “Thanks to performers like Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and Elvis Presley, they also decided to create a guitar department.” The advent of such new technology as eight-tracks and cassettes in the 1970s and 1980s caused secondgeneration Bob and Nina Rockley to start carrying print music and lessen recorded audio offerings. The store also started offering instrument instruction courses. “This year is also my 20th year at Rockley, and we added pianos and technology around that time,” Liane said. “In 2015, we liquidated the print music and bulk of guitar department, and now are primarily a service business.” Those services include piano repair, maintenance and moving, instrument repair and an expanded music education center.

Ten years ago, Tobin created the Rockley Family Foundation with a goal to provide music education to as many children as possible. “The store has always been philanthropic, and so the foundation was a way to expand that,” he said. “The original plan was to be a local group, but we expanded nationally pretty quickly.” The foundation provides scholarships and donates instruments to music programs and children in need. It has given nearly $20 million to various programs and schools all over the country. Recently, the organization started a partnership with the school system in Atlanta, in which Rockley provides instruments and music teachers to the school with the lowest test scores. The hope, Tobin said, is the school will see an improvement in its scores as a result of adding music. “If the program is successful, organizations with more money and reach than us might embrace the approach,” he said. “In this way we could have a much bigger reach.” Last March, the business also opened a Recital Hall for school orchestras and rental, often on a donation-only basis. “You’re going to see a lot of changes in the retail world in the next five to 10 years,” Liane said. “We’re still here and providing what people need. But we’re looking to the future.”
Liane and Tobin Rockley are the third generation of the family that has owned Rockley Music Center for 70 years. In the years the business has gone through many changes, but stayed in Lakewood.
