A bountiful feast for all Community harvest celebration touches on healthy food, farmers By Amy Woodward
awoodward@coloradocommuntiymedia.com It was a celebration of food and nourishment during the inaugural Golden Community Harvest on Sunday, Nov. 16. “It’s about coming together around a common theme of community and local healthy food,” said Bethany Thomas, deacon at Calvary Episcopal Church and director of Hunger Free Golden, which aims to increase access to healthy foods for all community members. “We’re thinking about the theme of nourishing not only our bodies but our community.” It also meant starting a conversation about food needs and food supply for all community members, and building relationships with people, organizations and local farmers to address those needs. “How can we as a community work together so that everyone has access to healthy, fresh, food,” Thomas said. One of Golden’s premiere food access services, the Golden Backpack Program, helped to pro-
mote the harvest. The program delivers a sack of food to children in need over the weekend during the school year and then takes off with its summer food program, the Snack `N Wagon. Director of the program, Peggy Halderman has already started preliminary discussions with residents about increasing access to food supply and is also working with Eileen Regan of GoFarm, an innovative co-op that aims for easier access to healthy local food through collaboration with local farmers. “We believe that every resident in Golden should have access to healthy food,” Halderman said about her collaboration with GoFarm. “I am seeing a possible additional future for our wonderful Snack `N Wagon that will do more than just feed lunches but actually help connect produce somehow with the neighborhoods.” Keynote speaker at the harvest, Steve Cochenour, farmer and owner of Clear Creek Organics in Wheat Ridge, gave an overview of the increasing disconnect in the U.S. between residents, their food and farmers. “If food in Golden is going to be better than our food industry — it has to come from our community,” Cochenour said. “It wasn’t too long ago when all of us knew farmers. Now, the current census shows that less than two percent of the U.S. population is involved with agriculture.”

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Record setting tax revenues shows a healthy spending economy for Golden, finance reports show. Revenue collected from the months of June, August and September show an 8 to 12 percent increase compared to last year. In September, for example, sales tax collections were up 12.1 percent or $146,195. Overall, Finance Director Jeff Hansen reported September revenue were up $679,823 or 7.6 percent year-to-date compared to 2013. So far, sales tax revenues exceeded the 2014 budget by 5.1 percent and downtown Golden is buzzing with business. “It’s doing very well,” Hansen said. “The vibrancy and the vitality of it is one thing but to just look at the revenues overall, is also very positive. The downtown area continues to improve year after year as far as revenue generation and sales tax revenue to the city.” August sales showed strong sales tax business within the city limits in areas such as Heritage Square including Martin Marietta Materials, downtown Golden and Golden Heights. “The Visit Golden committee is very pleased with the results, we recently changed up some of our media buying and marketing efforts and now we’re seeing positive returns,” said Jenifer Doane, community marketing manager at Visit Golden, a co-op marketing effort between the City of Golden and its merchants. Doane stated there are several factors contributing to the increase in tax revenue besides Visit Golden’s efforts, such as community events and community assets including outdoor recreation opportunities, and cultural attractions and museums with quality exhibits are attracting different populations and more people from the Denver area, she said. “More and more people are coming to Golden to enjoy our breweries and some of our newer restaurants,” Doane said. The only challenge now is keeping the momentum going. But Hansen said that while he can’t project what sales tax revenues will be in early 2015, he credits the state’s healthy economy as a positive influence on the city. “I think the basic message is just overall the economy in Colorado has improved,” he said.

Democrats suffer whiplash in vote tallies 1936 was last strong year for Adams County Republicans By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A lot of things have happened since 1936 — Hawaii and Alaska becoming states and the inventions of canned beer, color television and the Slinky, just to name a few. But prior to this month, Republicans doing really well in Adams County elections is something that had not happened in 78 years. “Before the Depression and the Franklin Roosevelt era, Adams County up until that point been a Republican county,” said longtime Republican Adams County politico and historian Bob Briggs. “The whole aspect of the Depression changed that and the Democrats have been in control since then.” Here’s a fact that really puts the election results from Nov. 4 into perspective: Until recently, a Chicago Cubs World Series appearance had been a more modern-day historical moment than there being a majority of Republicans holding elected offices in Adams County. That salt-in-the-wound reality is something county Democrats continue to ponder now that the votes from Nov. 4 have all been counted from an election where many Democrats lost races few thought were even possible to lose. “I never saw Democratic candidates out there doing anything, any sort of campaigning, and they took their wins for granted,” said Adams County Republican Party Chairman Gary Mikes. “We passed them up and by the time they realized it, they were done.” The results from Nov. 4 are striking: • Republican Beth Martinez-Humenik defeated former Democratic state Rep. Judy Solano for an open state Senate seat that had been held by term-limited Democrat Lois Tochtrop. The win gave Republicans a one-seat majority in the chamber. • Democratic state Rep. Jenise May — who sits on the Legislature’s important Joint Budget Committee and who easily won
her seat in 2012 — lost to JoAnn Windholz. What’s more stunning about May’s defeat is that Democrats considered her seat so safe, they pegged her to head an operation aimed at getting more D e m o c ra t s elected to the House. • Democratic Attorney General candidate Don Quick lost Adams County by four points to opponent Cynthia Coffman, who won the election. Quick is the former district attorney for Adams County. • Of the 32,222 Adams County voters who cast ballots in the 6th Congressional District race, they overwhelmingly supported Republican Congressman Mike Coffman over Andrew Romanoff by a margin of more than 11 points. • Republican candidates won two county commission seats and, for the first time since 1936, they will hold the offices of sheriff, assessor, treasurer and clerk and recorder at the same time. All of this in a county where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 26,000 registered voters, about a 10-point advantage. And Adams is a county that is right up a Democratic candidate’s alley — a diverse, blue-collar county where many middleclass workers and families reside. “Anytime you have losses like that it’s going to be alarming, sure,” said state Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio. “We’ll take a long look at the numbers and we’ll figure out where the next steps are.” But gleeful Republicans think they know exactly where Democrats went wrong in Adams County. “The ruling Democratic elites forgot about the middle class, forgot about the people who work for a living, and that’s the only way to explain what happened in Adams County,” said Republican Frank McNulty, a former state speaker of the House of Representatives.
Voters frustrated
Current House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, who is term-limited and who will not be returning to the House in January, said what happened in Adams County earlier this month “surprised” him, but that he also understands the challenges the county faces and why voters may have taken out their frustration on Democrats. “You look at the issues around Adams County, there’s a lot of working-class families,” he said. “The state is in an economic recovery, but it hasn’t impacted some communities across this state.” Ferrandino said Democrats have been effective in recent years in passing bills at the Legislature that would help middleclass families like those that live in Adams County. “We made higher education more affordable, child care assistance for families ...,” he said. “Those things need to be even more of a priority now.” State Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton survived the Republican wave, but barely. Salazar’s seat was widely considered to be safe, yet he only managed to eke out a 221-vote win over Republican Carol Beckler in a race that wasn’t decided until several days after Election Day. “I didn’t think it was going to be this close,” Salazar said. “I became nervous in September that I needed to do more in my district and we ran a very strong ground campaign, and thank God I did. I didn’t take my voters for granted.” Salazar doesn’t think the vote results were a referendum on Democratic policies, because he believes Democrats “have very good ground to stand on,” when it comes to legislative accomplishments that help middle-class families. Rather, Salazar chalks up the losses to a national Republican wave that resulted in Democrats losing the majority of statewide races, including U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, who was defeated by Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. “Cory Gardner ran one hell of a campaign,” Salazar said. “He spent an enormous amount of resources in my House district. I had the Cory Gardner war machine coming
at me.”
Not buying claims But Republicans think it’s awfully convenient for Democrats to chalk up the bad results to a one-year wave and think that everything will go back to normal in a couple of years. “They didn’t like what had been happening,” Martinez-Humenik said of Adams County voters who supported her candidacy. “They feel the loss of income in their houses. They keep hearing unemployment is down, but they’re not seeing it in their own families.” State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call also thinks that corruption cases involving elected county Democrats over the last few years also weighed heavily on frustrated voters’ minds. “Adams County rejected corruption and mismanagement in Democratic majorities,” Call said. “It’s pretty darn encouraging when we see the contrast in reform-minded Republicans running against Democrats at the county level.” To be sure, not all news was bad for Democrats following the Nov. 4 results. Statewide Democratic candidates running for secretary of state and treasurer performed better here than in many other parts of the state. And Adams voters supported Gov. John Hickenlooper and Udall. Still, the results were not good for Democrats overall. But, while county Republicans may be feeling good now, 2016 could be a whole other ballgame. More Democratic voters — especially minorities — cast ballots during a presidential year than in a midterm election. And will newly elected county Republicans hold on to their seats four years from now, without the potential benefit of a national Republican wave? And, as Mikes is fully aware, Republicans start each election in Adams County “as 10-point underdogs.” And Briggs said it’s too early to know what the results from earlier this month will mean in the long run. “Is it a one-time blip or is it a trend?” he said. “Only time will tell that.”

Foundation seeks to honor vets By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Seven tolls resonate for the fallen. In May, the Honor Bell will ring for the first time, symbolizing honor, dignity and respect for Colorado’s fallen veterans. “Honors are rituals, and military honors that are given is a ritual where they do things in a certain manner,” said Frank Griggs, founder of the Honor Bell Foundation. “What we wanted to do is come up with a way of honoring veterans beyond just taps, beyond just presenting the flag — a final toll, in honor of this in-
dividual.” A nonprofit organization, the Honor Bell Foundation seeks to recognize deceased veterans with a tolling ceremony at their funeral. After the presentation of the flag to the next of kin, the 35-second ceremony will consist of seven tolls, each with their own meaning: response, service, protection, defense, sacrifice, suffering and loss of life. “Honor, respect and dignity are really at the hallmark of what we’re doing,” said Michelle Mallin, the foundation’s director of communications. “This is really honoring our veterans at their final moments.” The bell ceremony, performed
Founder Frank Griggs stands among fallen veterans at the Fort Logan Cemetery. Courtesy photo upon request by the next of kin, will be available for any veteran’s funeral. Griggs said preference would be given to combat vets killed in action, and first responders. Along with the ceremony, the organization is also providing additional opportunities in the classroom for students to see a replica of the bell, and learn about the history, sacrifices and achievements Americans have made through their service in the
military. “The education opportunity we have with the bell is really fantastic,” Mallin said. “It gives us the opportunity to take the bell to different classrooms to show students … it’s just a special way to honor our fallen veterans.” Currently, the organization is seeking volunteer veterans and first responders to be a part of the “Guardians of the Bell,” who guard, protect and sound the bell during ceremonies, as well as

Happy Thanksgiving to Our Readers — We Have So Much to Be Grateful For
By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®
As a homeowner, a practicing Realtor and the owner of Golden Real Estate, I have much to be grateful for as we approach one of my favorite holidays. Although Colorado’s recovery from the “great recession” which started in 2008 is uneven, it has been strong, and one has to be grateful for that. We can be thankful that Colorado was not one of the “bubble” states like Nevada and California where home values had risen so fast and so far that they fell hard and far. With our modest year-to-year appreciation prior to 2008, our home values fell, but they did not plummet. So, yes, I am grateful first of all that Colorado, including Jefferson County, suffered less than other areas and has, overall, more than recovered from that recession. Beyond that, I am also grateful that Golden Real Estate, which was founded in 2007, was able to outlast that downturn and come out stronger than ever. At this writing, we now have nine excellent agents who work together well and have each been successful in their own right: Jim Swanson, Carrie Lovingier, Karon Hesse, Kristi Brunel, Mark Spencer, Suzi Nicholson, Leo Swoyer, Chuck Brown, and David Dlugasch. You can read more about each of them on our website.
Equally important, we now have an office manager, Kim Taylor, who recently obtained her own real estate license but solely for the purpose of being a more effective assistant to our agents and myself. She also functions as our transaction coordinator and HDR photographer. Her contributions to Golden Real Estate have been invaluable. I am also grateful for our clients who have helped to make Golden Real Estate one of the leading real estate brokerages in the county, selling over $35 million in real estate in 2013 and probably more than that in 2014. Every year has been better than the year before. In that regard, I have to thank Colorado Community Media for allowing me to advertise on page three in five of their local newspapers, and also the Denver Post, in which I have a full page ad for this column in every edition of YourHub serving Jefferson County and the foothills beyond. Because of the exposure I get through this advertising, my agents and I have been successful in attracting clients and in selling our listings, which we feature in this space. Last but definitely not least, I am grateful for my wife Rita and for my friends, especially those in the renewable energy community, who reinforce our sustainability efforts.
Climate Colorado Summit Was Productive I was honored to be one of the presenters at the Climate Colorado Summit held Nov. 15 & 16 at CU’s Boulder campus. My presentation had to do with hastening the adoption of electric vehicles as a way of reducing transportation’s contribution of CO2 pollution. I have posted a link to my presentation at www.JimSmithColumns.com if you would like to view it. My presentation led to the creation of a small working group which developed another PowerPoint presentation as part of a pilot project to convince business owners to install electric vehicle charging stations as an employee benefit. You can view that PowerPoint presentation on the same website. Other presenters, including my friend Steve Stevens, developed projects during the summit aimed at reducing sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the other sectors shown on this chart. You can read more about the summit’s accomplishments at www.ClimateColorado.org.

Lifeloc throws lifeline in marijuana testing Wheat Ridge company developing THC breathalyzer
DRUGGED DRIVING STATS In 2013 — before recreational marijuana legalization — the Colorado Department of Transportation recorded 36 drivers involved in fatal car accidents who tested positive for the drug. Those drivers represented 5.7 percent of all fatal accident drivers.
By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com When Amendment 64 passed many detractors voiced concerns about people driving while using marijuana and the risks that may present. Wheat Ridge’s Lifeloc Technologies aims to solve that problem by designing the first breathalyzer to detect marijuana on a person’s breath. “We watched the marijuana issue with interest and anticipated that something like this was going to be a necessity for law enforcement and others,” said Lifeloc president and CEO Barry Knott. “The problem is it’s almost impossible on the roadside to prove a driver has THC in their system.” The company is getting some funding
help in the form of $250,000 from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade to help develop the device. According to G. “Ravi” Ravishankar, executive vice president of Lifeloc, the trick is creating a device that detects only Delta-9 THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. “Our goal is to accelerate this and get it done quickly,” Ravishankar said. “The quandary is dealing with people who use it for medical reasons versus recreational.
Our approach is that we want to be able to detect it and then it’s up to city councils and legislatures to decide what the level of danger is.” State lawmakers passed a law stating the threshold for driving under the influence, similar to .08 blood alcohol content level, is five nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood. Knott said the only real way for law enforcement to test for THC currently is a blood test, but that takes a long time and is expensive. He said police are looking for a real-time, non-invasive way to test for the drug that will be supported in courts of law. Law enforcement is one of the top customers for this kind of device, but workplaces that may want to test their employees for the drug are also a potential customer base, according to Knott. “Since marijuana has been illegal for so long, there isn’t a lot of research on how it works on people’s systems,” Ravishankar said.
Mason Tvert, director of communications for the Marijuana Policy Project, said the group is in support of accurate testing for those pulled over on suspicion of driving with THC in their system. “We want to ensure that people are not driving impaired and those who are punished are proved to be impaired,” he said. The entirety of Lifeloc’s operations are in its Wheat Ridge location, and Knott and Ravishankar said that many of their 35 employees will work on the project at one point or another. At the same time they are working on the marijuana breathalyzer they’re fine tuning their alcohol breathalyzers for customers like the Wheat Ridge Police Department, Arapahoe House, and other state law enforcement offices. They also ship to 65 other countries. Lifeloc aims to have a prototype of the breathalyzer by late 2015 and a commercial version by 2016. For more information visit www.lifeloc. com.
Denver West Office Park sold HighBrook Investment makes $104 million purchase By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com As the Denver West shopping area celebrates its 20th anniversary, the 22-building Denver West Office Park has sold to HighBrook Investment Management LP.
The park, 1546 Cole Blvd., was recently purchased by the New York-based company for $104 million from Connexion Asset Group of Lakewood. Connexion purchased the site in 2001. “They’re (HighBrook) a terrific company that will bring a new management and investment to the park,” said Greg Stevinson, real estate developer and project lead. “People will be able to see the investment in the building exterior and interior upgrades.”
Stevinson said HighBrook would be focusing on leasing, but that the current tenants will be staying in place. He also said the company would be pursuing a more aggressive leasing strategy. During the Nov. 3 study session where Lakewood City Council received an update on the Denver West project, Stevinson said offices are a bit of a weak link in the area currently, but future development may change that. Work in the area is not done and Stevin-
sion said there is still a lot of development going on, including new apartments and the possibility of a new hotel. Shoppers will also see a Red Robin and Starbucks opening soon. The 6.6 million square-foot Denver West area — which includes Colorado Mills and National Renewable Energy Laboratories — brings in around $100 million a year in tax revenue and has created 9,189 jobs in the area, as well as 15,175 jobs across metro Denver.

Bouncing back from drought years Colorado is recovering from a serious four-year drought in the state’s primer upland bird regions. But thanks to the expanding public access areas now open to the public by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Division (CPW), there are opportunities. The pheasant season that opened Nov. 8 continues to the last day of January. The quail season ends either Jan. 4 or Jan. 31 depending the eastern county. The CPW has leased over 215,000 acres under its Walk-in area specifically for upland bird habitat in Eastern Colorado. A good starting point is to study the recent 2014-15 Eastern Plains Upland Forecast which offers helpful information about habitat conditions and bird numbers. The drought years of 2010-11-12-13 made a significant mark on bird hatching and survival we see today. The 2014 Eastern Colorado pheasant and quail surveys were down approximately 66-percent since 2012 and 44-percent from 2013. Surveys showed the lowest bird populations during this period since 2003.
CPW staff uses a variety of survey techniques and field observations to get a fix on bird production, numbers and survival. Call counts, crow counts, road side summer brood counts, moisture and food offering and mid-summer roadside bird numbers. The Eastern Plains Upland Forecast tells us that Northeast Colorado counties (Yuma, Phillips, Sedgwick, Logan, Washington, Morgan and eastern Weld Counties) are hosting slightly improved pheasant numbers than 2013. While encouraging, conditions are spotty, due to the record levels of
precipitation in some locations and minimal rain and snow in others. Both habitat and food sources vary as well from location to location. Hunting will be good on one section of land and a few miles either way may produce very few birds. The South Platte River drainage and State Wildlife Areas in Morgan, Washington, Logan and Sedgwick Counties show minimal quail numbers, while improved cover and food supply for pheasants. East Central Colorado (Southern Yuma, Kit Carson, Cheyenne, Kiowa Counties) are looking better for habitat and bird numbers than other eastern counties. Increase in precipitation and greater number of sprinkler irrigation systems account for more optimism. Hunters will find some exception to this were summer hail storms damaged crops. Extreme southeast Colorado (Baca and Prowers counties) drought more severely impacted pheasant numbers. Selected area habitat recovery has favored the quail popu-
lation with help from late quail hatches. CPW offer some suggestions during the Eastern Colorado region hunts. Sportsmen are urged to be sensitive to fire dangers when smoking or using camp fires. The CRP acreages are declining due to contracts expiring in 2014 and 2015 and program reductions by the Federal government. Corn and other crop harvest are not completed, so be sensitive to farming operations underway. Some of Kiowa County farmland accommodates light (snow) goose hunting and has less cover and habitat for pheasants or quail. To supplement the Forecast information go on line to learn more about Colorado pheasant and quail at http://cpw.state. co.us/thingstodo/Pages/Pheasant-Hunting. aspx. In addition there are over 215,000 walk-in access acres to hunt, 300 state wildlife areas and 42 state parks, all available to the public and sportsmen.

Considering the limitations of internal medicine “Internal Medicine: A Doctor’s Stories” by Terrence Holt 2014, Liveright $24.95 / $27.95 Canada 275 pages It took you awhile to get the hang of things. It’s always that way with a new job. Nobody’s born knowing how to work and learning to be proficient takes time, patience, and training. In the new book “Internal Medicine” by Terrence Holt, it also takes determination, exhaustion, and the knowledge that you can’t fix everything. Some stories simply can’t be told. On a March day during his intern year, when he and several dozen people were engaged in a cacophonous “roar and babble” at the nursing desk, Terrence Holt suddenly realized that no description would ever do justice to that which he’d been experiencing. It was “too manifold, too layered” to describe. In the month after graduation from
medical school, he decided to try anyhow. Though the memories are “hazy,” Holt recalls how asking for assistance from your attending was rumored to be a “sign of weakness,” even though there were times when the help would’ve been more than merely welcome. Even when nothing can be done, it’s easier when you do it with someone. Young interns learn to give bad news, which is nearly impossible to teach – especially when the answer to the question

“What next?” is “I don’t know.” It’s impossible to teach because sometimes, a doctor does know what’s next. Both parties do, in fact, but he “couldn’t say that either.” There were times for Holt when patients weren’t “playing by… rules” that demanded lucidity and a hospital stay with no problems. Of course, a lack of the former often made the patient blissfully, “eternally unaware” of his impending death, of which Holt admits he was “almost envious.” No matter how much training an intern gets, he has to learn by himself that there are choices nobody wants to make, but he must. He has to learn that lifesaving can be “a sorry gift I have to offer…” He eventually understands that first impressions don’t last; that a mask shouldn’t mask the personality beneath it; that death often does dual duty; that patients lie; and that, despite what anybody says, “you couldn’t count on second chances.” In the introduction of “Internal Medi-
cine,” author Terrence Holt muses about ethics and privacy when writing about patients. Because of those issues, he says, the patients in this book are factional “assemblages … compiled from multiple cases” made to “capture the essence of something too complex to be understood any other way.” Trust me: fact or fiction isn’t going to matter once you start this exquisite book of essays. You’ll be too wrapped up in living and dying, in exhaustion, fog, and the torment of both author and patient. Indeed, Holt is a poet in a white coat with a literary bedside manner that allows us to absorb the shock of his words as we simultaneously note the beauty of them. I carried this book around with me for three days because, once it’s started, it’s hard to let it go. If you’ve ever pondered your length between life and death, grab “Internal Medicine” and hang on.

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Jeffco Magistrate Receives Statewide Award
Jefferson County Magistrate Marianne M. Tims, of Colorado’s 1st Judicial District, was honored November 12 as one of three recipients of the 2014 Judicial Excellence Awards, hosted by the Colorado Judicial Institute (CJI). Marianne Tims is the 1st Judicial District’s Chief Magistrate and has received much acclaim for her work protecting children and trying to resolve family issues, a specialty that she proudly embraces as her life’s work. Prior to her 2004 swearing in in Jefferson County, Magistrate Tims had been a county attorney in both Jefferson and Arapahoe counties handling child protection cases. Also receiving the award were District Court Chief Judge Claude W. Appel of the 3rd Judicial District and County Court Judge Sabino E. Romano of the 17th Judicial District. The Judicial Excellence Awards formally recognize judicial excellence in Colorado and the annual event raises money in support of CJI’s Judicial Education Fund, which has provided $300,000 for Colorado Judicial Education since 2005.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor AMY WOODWARD Community Editor
Thankful for friends and family My oldest brother, Rob, has a facile mind, and is a really talented musician. In many ways, he was the perfect oldest brother, a “Greg Brady”-like influence. He set the bar really high for those of us who followed, but, in my experience, he was always willing to help us get over it. My next brother, Tom, was, in many ways, the anti-Greg Brady. He wasn’t a great student, loved heavy metal, worked on cars, and took his own path. But he has a great (and twisted) sense of humor, completed a two-year computer program in about 14 months, and is a masters-level chess player. My brother Rich was wild, probably ADD before there was ADD. But his work ethic was, and is, like nobody I’ve ever seen, and his commitment to the people and ideals he believes in is fierce and beyond questioning. My sister Barbe is the most gifted social animal I’ve ever known. She was popular without snootiness, the captain of the dance team in high school, but known and loved in every social circle, a trait that she maintains to this day. She knew what she wanted and set her own course without excluding anybody. My brother John is the golden child, and none deserve it more. A good student, an athlete, a musician, he earned an appointment to the Naval Academy, a commission as an officer, and has served his country with distinction. And through it all, he maintains his intellectual curiosity and his outgoing sense of humor. My sister Susie is unique among us. She is free-spirited, and lightly moves through ideas and dreams and goals as if the
ephemera of this earth weighs nothing on her. Her simple existence could easily be confused for triviality, if it weren’t for the passion with which she pursues life, and the easy joy and open love with which she interacts with her world. My “brother” Michael is brilliant and talented, probably the most gifted mind I’ve ever encountered. We’ve been friends since third grade, and he’s been alongside me for many important moments in my life. Our partnership through the years shaped me in ways I am only now beginning to fathom. My “brother” Matt is that friend that you’re not really sure you ever want to introduce a girlfriend to, if you know what I mean. But he also was the person who refused to let me take myself seriously when I was in danger of becoming an insufferable bore, who reminds me that fun is a good thing, and there’s not many other people I would trust to have my back in a bar fight more than him. My “brother” Todd is a force of nature. He made trumpet playing seem as natural as breathing, at a time when I approached it more like a cage match; he seemed to have life all figured out, when I was “discontent;” and he had an unshakable Faith
in God, while I doubted. But he was happy to walk alongside me while I was figuring things out, and, some day, should St. Peter admit me past the pearly gates, I fully expect to see Todd there, waiting for me. My brother “Jay” brought me in on a project years ago, and showed me the kind of discipline it takes to see a major project through to the end. My books would all be about 75 percent completed if it weren’t for his influence. At the same time, he deals with an incredibly difficult situation with greater grace and humor than I deal with hangnails, and he’s my first call in an emergency. My brother “Steven” is a warrior who has taken a terminal diagnosis and beaten it down for 11 years. He shares everything he has with us, and is very giving of his time and talents if it makes our lives better in any way. And, most importantly, my wife Sheryl is an inspiration. Her ambition and her drive are, frankly, exhausting sometimes, but she pushes me, every day, to be a better person, husband and father than my nature would make me. They say that, at a certain point, the influence of your parents and other adults wanes, and your family and your peer group become the most important movers in your life. This Thanksgiving, I am thankful beyond measure that I have had “brothers” who have been there for me, whose influence shaped the course of my life, and who show me the way to greater things. This day, give some thought to the people who have been there for you, too. And happy Thanksgiving
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Why is it important to offer STEM, engineering programs Schools offering STEM and engineering programs are becoming more common so we went to a classroom of the new Wheat Ridge tech program to ask why this is so important.
“A lot of students want to go into STEM-related fields and these classes give them a chance to see if they actually want to do the kind of work.” Jacqueline Pedlow, Wheat Ridge
“The classes are more hands on and lets students learn aspects of math and science, often in a projectbased environment.” Chuck Sprague, Wheat Ridge
“Technology has moved so far forward but you still need to be able to do it in person. These classes give students a chance to try it.” Doug Gallagher, Denver
“They give us an idea of if this is something we really want to do and teaches us new skills.” Andrew Miller, Wheat Ridge

The Transcript 9
November 27, 2014
What’s good about you? Editor’s Note: This is the first of a twopart series. Dear Neil: I am going to be 45, and I can’t seem to move past my issues. I basically feel I am not good enough. I was a baby when my parents divorced. My initial issues with not being good enough started when my father would say that he was coming to visit, and then not show. Of course, I would cry every time. I remember having constant feelings that if I wasn’t on my best behavior, my father wouldn’t want to see me. At age 4, my mother and I moved in with her parents. I knew my grandparents loved me, but no matter what I did, I was always getting in trouble and getting yelled at. When I was 7, my mother remarried. My stepfather was abusive, both emotionally and physically. I would be told almost on a daily basis that I was ugly and disgusting in one form or another. “Your face looks like a Mack truck hit it.” I was backhanded constantly, and kicked in the face for having hair hang in my eyes.
I was regularly told: “If you want some lovin’, you have to earn it.” I grew up in fear, and sometimes in pure terror. I was severely depressed by the age of 10, and wished daily that I had never been born. I also felt utterly abandoned by my mother. I picked men that didn’t love me. My first husband ignored me and wanted nothing to do with me — until he felt like it. My second husband was a narcissist just like my stepfather, and he cheated constantly. He made me feel exactly the same way I felt as a child—like an expendable, unlovable piece of garbage.
No matter what I try to do, I can’t lose how I feel about myself. Can you help? Feeling Very Low Self-Regard Dear Feeling Low: Although you can’t change your childhood or your past, you can assist yourself in feeling better about you. You do this by focusing more on your positives than on the negatives, because when you do so, you will recognize that you are more lovable and worthwhile than you are giving yourself credit for. In which situations have you demonstrated great social skills? What do you like about your appearance? When have you been a good friend? A good sibling? A good wife or girlfriend? A good “child” to your parents? A good mother? Where does your creativity show itself? What do you offer another person in a romantic relationship? When have you been courageous? With whom have you behaved with compassion or kindness? When have you acted with full honor and integrity? Are you able to act with light-heartedness, humor and playfulness?
If you were to look at what you do right, where you are kindhearted, generous and gracious, and what you respect about yourself, you will come to an appreciation that you are way more likable, lovable and valuable than you have been thinking. All I am suggesting is that you change your focus from what’s wrong about you — to what’s right about you, what’s good about you and what’s valuable about your words, actions and behaviors. I will continue this discussion about improving your self-esteem in next week’s column. Neil Rosenthal is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Westminster and Boulder, Colorado.

To maximize magic, minimize mayhem Here comes Hanukkah and here comes Christmas. Wait … first we get to enjoy Thanksgiving, don’t we? Studies show how much better retailers do when they begin promoting the holidays sooner. However, I wonder how we all do as consumers during the rush and crush of the holiday season. Do we focus on the magic or do we get swallowed up by the mayhem? I can’t think of a “Black Friday” in recent years where we didn’t see some type of news report where someone was trampled or where chaos erupted in an effort to make sure that people were first through the door and would be guaranteed a newly released game, toy or gadget. Our desire to “have what we want” instead of “wanting what we have” feeds the instant gratification demons within us. And sometimes the result is a demonstration of behavior that strips others of their dignity as we take out our anger and disappointment for not getting what we want when we want it on some very nice, unassuming and undeserving employee. Advertising and marketing, cause and effect, right? The ad agencies and marketing wizards do their jobs extremely well and drive the hype. In turn, that hype contributes to the mayhem. Again, companies will point to top line revenue and profitability that keeps them in business and gives them a stronger position that enables them to serve us better throughout the year. I totally get that, I guess I just wish we could find the right balance between the magic of the season and the
mayhem that comes along with it. Now there are many people who have figured this formula out. They have become adept at shopping throughout the year so that when the holiday season hits, they have no need to fight the crowds on “Black Friday” and for the following four or five weeks. There are others who have become masters of online shopping and have minimal need to compete or wait on line. And when I see how the online shoppers and early bird shoppers appear emotionally and attitudinally as compared to their frenzied counterpart shoppers, the calmness is discernible. Now shopping may only be a part of the mayhem. Others experience a real anxiety when it comes to the holidays. They have developed a perfectionist mentality and everything from the decorations, wrapping paper, the lights, the music, gifts, dinners, and parties must be absolutely perfect. And the dread that something might just be excellent or even average sets them off into their own despair. If we can just remember that mayhem is akin to panic as it can be our worst enemy. Instead, we can focus on the
fact that nothing is ever as bad as it seems and that all will be well. Magic. What if we focused on the magic? The magical moments found when we share a meal with our family and friends, the true magical feeling that comes as we volunteer to help others, the magic of giving instead of receiving. You see, pacing is everything when it comes to managing the magic and minimizing the mayhem that comes with the season. Are we participating at the pace that makes us feel comfortable, maybe even magical? Or are we the victim of the pace that has been created for us? Mayhem. The good news is that the choice is up to us regarding the pace and path that we choose. As Thanksgiving approaches I encourage you to give some consideration to what the upcoming season really means
to you, your family and your friends, and what your personal pace will be. Let’s enjoy this holiday for everything that it is meant to be, let it set the foundation of gratitude and appreciation in our hearts and minds so that when we have finished that last piece of pumpkin pie and sipped our final cup of coffee or cordial on Thanksgiving, we are mentally and spiritually prepared to enter the rest of the holiday season. So is it magic or mayhem for you? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we focus on the magic instead of the mayhem, it really will be a better than good holiday season.

KBCO disc is tradition for holidays
Miners Alley hosts song cycle for the holidays By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com One of the hallmarks of the holidays is the music — the way it weaves story and lyric, melody and harmony to move and inspire the listener. For their holiday production, Miners Alley Playhouse is eschewing the typical fare for a show that features four actors, three understudies and a group of musicians who guide audiences through a series of vignettes, each with a different musical message. The theater, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, is hosting “Songs For A New World” through Dec. 21. Performances are Thursdays Dec. 4, 11 and 18 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 16 and Dec. 7, at 6 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 30, Dec. 14 and 21, at 2:00 p.m. “New World,” written by Jason Robert Brown, is less a play than a song cycle, according to directors Brenda Billings and Mitch Samu. They said there are no spoken words outside the songs, which don’t constitute a cohesive story, but rather the story of a moment. “Most of these songs are about that moment in time when it seems like everything is perfect, and then it all falls apart,” Billings said. “They tell the story of difficult circumstances and how people deal with it.” The musical styles range from pop, gospel,
holiday and jazz in a series of songs all connected by the theme of that crucial moment. Some of the most wellknown numbers include “SurabayaSanta,” “Christmas Lullaby” and “Stars and the Moon.” Samu plays the piano throughout the show and said he has worked hard with the four actors to be able to tell their stories through the music. “I give them direction on how they should relate their story through their lyrics,” he said. “Almost anyone can sing, but if I don’t feel the story, it doesn’t matter.” The actors go through a variety of characters, from a young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams and a soulless marriage. “I don’t think the play gets done a lot because you need four powerhouse singers with the range to do all the different fields and genres,” Samu said. “It’s not a recital — it’s a bunch of stories.” Billings said this is one of the most difficult shows she’s ever directed, but the experimental nature of it has made it a lot of fun. When it comes to the sets, she said they’re making use of blank-slate platforms to project the scenery onto. This allows the show to use a variety of scenes without having to move anything.
Radio station 97.3 KBCO will give Colorado 18 more reasons to love KBCO Studio C on Dec. 6 with the release of its annual charity CD featuring 18 songs recorded live on the air from the Denver/ Boulder radio station’s performance studio. Each year, 97.3 KBCO compiles a select few of these recordings on the annual KBCO Studio C CD release. The limited-edition CD will be available beginning at 8 a.m. Dec. 6 at all Colorado Whole Foods Market locations. There will be a limit of two CDs per person and the collection will be sold for $12. Traditionally the annual CD release sells out in about one day, with eager KBCO Studio C fans lining up before sunrise. Proceeds from the sale of the KBCO Studio C Volume 26 CD will benefit the Food Bank of the Rockies and Boulder County AIDS Project.
Holiday box office opens
For the first time, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is opening a holiday box office in an off-premises storefront on First Avenue between Detroit and Clayton streets in Cherry Creek North. The temporary Cherry Creek pop-up store will do much more than sell tickets and gift certificates (with all handling fees waived). There will be a stage for free performances, free activities for kids and information about the wide variety of activities offered. The 4,000-square-foot space opened Nov. 21 and runs through Dec. 23. “We want to reinforce the idea that there are great things happening at the DCPA every day,” said Creative Director Rob Silk.

CWCG, Noeticus offer free workshop for parents By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com The holidays are a hectic time for everyone, with parents in particular trying to live up to all the expectations that come with the season. The Colorado Wellness Center for Girls (CWCG) and partner Noeticus Counseling Center and Training institute are offering a
free class for parents who want to learn to connect with their teenage daughters and female relatives during the holidays. The two-hour workshop will be 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9, at the CWCG, 3775 Chase St. in Wheat Ridge. “The holidays are a stressful time and many parents feel at a loss and helpless around the time,” said Andrea Philleo, founder of the CWCG. “We help girls all day long here, and we want to provide some direct strategies for parents about

Espresso Americano’s newest store, at 5322 DTC Blvd., No. 200, will be the first of five locations to open across Denver in the coming months and the company’s first foray into the United States. The new space is 1,550 square feet with approximately 50 indoor and outdoor seats, including a community table for business meetings, seating at the bar and lounge seating. Standard hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday; 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. “As we sought a location for our entry into the U.S, we recognized that the Denver coffee drinker is sophisticated and appreciates the independent companies that offer an authentic experience,” said David Kubena, director of North America for Espresso Americano. “Although this is our first store in the U.S., we have been in business for 80 years, our farm is still family-run and we grow 80 percent of our coffee, which we then roast ourselves.” The coffee shop also will offer a limited food menu with everything made fresh. For breakfast, customers can choose from a variety of breakfast burritos and quiche, while for lunch the selections will include several salads and homemade paninis. Fresh baked goods and dessert items will be available throughout the day as well.

Lutheran, St. Anthony lead hospital compact Aim to promote nutrition for patients, staff and visitors By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Two of Jefferson County’s largest hospital, Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge and St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood were recognized for their efforts to promote healthy living. The two hospitals joined the Colorado Health Hospital Compact and were hailed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) on Nov. 14 for electing to take part in a dedicated effort to improve nutrition for patients, families and staff at their hos-

pitals. “We are committed to making Colorado the healthiest state in the nation, said Dr. Larry Wolk, CDPHE executive director during the Nov. 14 event. “Working with hospital partners statewide to make sure their patients and families, visitors and staff have healthy food and drink choices is just one of the ways we are turning back the tide of obesity.” Compact members agree to promote healthy food and beverage options in cafeterias, vending machines, and patient menus, and support new moms with breastfeeding, according to provided information. The Compact hospitals choose programs to implement and are recognized for what they achieve within a comprehensive set of standards, including a healthy food and beverage program, new marketing programs and providing trained staff
members to help mothers breastfeed their babies in the hospital and refer them to lactation support services upon discharge. Corina Lindley, Mountains and North Denver Operating Group Vice President of Community Health and Values Integration at St. Anthony, said that working with the hospital’s food provider to bring healthy choices to patients was key to the program’s success. “When the food champion is the chef it makes the work a lot easier,” she said. “We’re happy to be one of the first hospitals to join the fight against sweetened beverages.” The compact allows the hospitals to work with state and local health departments and other Colorado hospitals to implement the best practices in hospital nutrition and breastfeeding support. “We feel strongly that Lutheran plays a leadership role in working to improve the
health of our community we serve and not only in caring for the sick,” said Grant Wicklund, Lutheran’s president and CEO, in a statement. “We’ve made terrific process with other programs, such as tobacco cessation and weight loss, and we know that sugary drinks contribute greatly to obesity in Colorado and across the country. This is another positive step we are taking toward improved health and wellness in our community.” The participating hospitals will continue to work on these issues moving forward, and are looking ahead to new growth and changes. “We’re very happy to be part of this group,” Lindley said. “We know that shifting this kinds of cultural norms is made up of more small steps than drastic.” For more information on the Colorado Hospital Compact go to www.colorado.gov/ cdphe/healthy-hospital-compact.
Seasonal beverages and treats will be served during the workshop and guests will also leave with takeaways to help families and their daughters thrive. The fully licensed CWCG was formed 11 months ago by Philleo, who has years of social work to her credit, to create a wellnessbased, day treatment program for girls between the ages of 12 to 21. Philleo said many of the girls they work with are strug-
gling with the pressures of everyday life. “I think there is a different way to help many of these girls and wanted to make a place that was a respite for them,” she said. At the CWCG, Philleo and her staff focus on “six domains of wellness” — nutritional, physical, educational, psychological, relational and emotional. “We want to bring in a lot of community experts and connect with the community,”
Philleo said. “I think we can develop a great

finds great joy in doing — especially at this time of the year.” Every child in classrooms visited by JCPL’s Traveling Children’s Library receives a book of their own at the end of the school year. Many of these children live in poverty and would have no access to books without the foundation. In addition, children who participate in the Library’s Summer Reading program receive a book as well. The foundation was able to gave away more than 15,000 books in 2014 thanks to community contributions. Natalie Martinez, executive director of the foundation, said the organization will also be participating in the coming Colo-
rado Gives Day on Dec. 9, because any contribution received on that day will be supplemented by funds from FirstBank. “We personally call everyone who donates to thank them and we’re hoping this is the best year-end campaign yet,” Martinez said. “We’re geared up to get books in as many kid’s hand as possible.” To make a donation, visit jeffcolibrary. org/donate, or mail your contribution to The Jefferson County Library Foundation, 10790 W. 50th Ave., Suite 200.

Youth encourage adults to be active voters By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com
More than 20 students from Kyffin Elementary stood on the corner of 6th Ave. and Arbutus Dr. to rally for Jeffco residents to vote on Monday, Nov. 3. From left to right; Charlotte Moran, 11 and Natalie Searls, 11 wave signs which caught the attention of many drivers who honked their horn in support. Photos by Amy Woodward derstand why we should vote.” “I think it’s great the kids are encouraged. It’s created a lot of great conversations because of this, at home,” said Kiffin parent Karen Kruse. Several students said they would vote when they turn 18. “Your decision matters,” May Knight, 11, said. Emily Calvert, 11, added, “Most countries don’t vote and it’s our right to vote so we should.” Nico Trilk, 11, pointed out one person’s vote may help break a tie between candidates. “It’s more about how do we encourage others to vote, why is it important — I’m hoping that carries forward in their life — that they are encouraged and understand why it’s important and register,” Collins said. By the end of the project, sixth-graders at Kyffin Elementary shared two messages for the adult population: if a person doesn’t vote, he or she shouldn’t complain. And the only vote that doesn’t count is the one that isn’t cast.

Collette Collins, a sixth-grade social studies teacher at Kyffin Elementary, saw to it her students fully grasped civics by teaching one of the most important responsibilities of citizenship — voting. Sixth-graders at Kyffin Elementary spent the last few weeks of the midterm election season preparing for a rally that took place Monday, Nov. 3 to remind Jeffco residents to get out and vote. “If people are not voting, not everyone is getting their say on who is going to be president or who is going to be the governor,” Cambell Thompson, 11 said. “So, it might not be fitting everybody’s need.” Introducing sixth-graders to civics concepts and political systems is part of the curriculum said Collins, who started teaching at Kyffin in early October. She previously taught in Michigan, where she conducted the same project. “Our goal for our project is to increase the number of registered voters,” Collins said. “I pose it as a problem and they came up with a solution.” The solution was to hold a rally near the Red Rocks College light rail station to remind drivers to vote as students waved signs. Jefferson County voter statistics from the Jeffco Clerk and Recorder’s office shows 418,914 registered voters in a county of about 536,095 residents, leaving 117,181 unregistered voters due to age or lack of interest. Inactive registered voters are 17.5 percent of the total voters or 73,538 people. “We’ve got lots of people that are registered that are not active voters,” Collins said. During class, Collins reviews Jefferson County’s election statistics with students to show the history of participating voters in primary and general elections. She then shows them what a ballot looks like and notes the importance of signing the ballot’s envelope for the vote to be counted. “I think the project is a really good way for us to share our opinion and to allow adults to know we know about the situation in voting,” Alice Sweeney, 12 said. “I think the project is really helping us to un-

DAWN’S BLuRB Stress? What Stress? According to Attitudes in the American Workplace VII (found on the American Institute of Stress website, www.Stress.org), 80% of workers feel stress on the job, nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress, and 42% say their coworkers need such help. It is my hope that your Golden Chamber of Commerce staff can help decrease the level of stress in your life by connecting you with resources you need, creating networking events that increase your client base (and social life!) and attracting new customers to you through referrals – in person, on-line at GoldenCOchamber.org, and in our 2015 printed directory out now. In the meanwhile, here are Dawn Smith’s Top 8 Ways to Reduce Stress: 1. Chew bubble gum. Blow bubbles. 2. Listen to disco music. 3. Make time to give those you love several bear hugs a day. 4. Write To Do lists so that you can feel elated when crossing off finished tasks. 5. Eat chocolate (this should probably be number one). 6. Make time to exercise. I may not move quickly some days, but at least I’m moving. 7. Make time for silent reflection whether it’s prayer, meditation or simply watching one of our breathtaking sunrises or sunsets. 8. Smile. Just grin ear to ear. Even when no one is looking.
Happy Holidays to you and yours! May 2015 be a prosperous, healthy, fun, adventure-filled year! All My Best, Dawn Smith dawn@goldenCOChamber.org | 303.279.3113

To maximize magic, minimize mayhem Here comes Hanukkah and here comes Christmas. Wait … first we get to enjoy Thanksgiving, don’t we? Studies show how much better retailers do when they begin promoting the holidays sooner. However, I wonder how we all do as consumers during the rush and crush of the holiday season. Do we focus on the magic or do we get swallowed up by the mayhem? I can’t think of a “Black Friday” in recent years where we didn’t see some type of news report where someone was trampled or where chaos erupted in an effort to make sure that people were first through the door and would be guaranteed a newly released game, toy or gadget. Our desire to “have what we want” instead of “wanting what we have” feeds the instant gratification demons within us. And sometimes the result is a demonstration of behavior that strips others of their dignity as we take out our anger and disappointment for not getting what we want when we want it on some very nice, unassuming and undeserving employee. Advertising and marketing, cause and effect, right? The ad agencies and marketing wizards do their jobs extremely well and drive the hype. In turn, that hype
contributes to the mayhem. Again, companies will point to top line revenue and profitability that keeps them in business and gives them a stronger position that enables them to serve us better throughout the year. I totally get that, I guess I just wish we could find the right balance between the magic of the season and the mayhem that comes along with it. Now there are many people who have figured this formula out. They have become adept at shopping throughout the year so that when the holiday season hits, they have no need to fight the crowds on “Black Friday” and for the following four or five weeks. There are others who have become masters of online shopping and have minimal need to compete or wait on line. And when I see how the online shop-
pers and early bird shoppers appear emotionally and attitudinally as compared to their frenzied counterpart shoppers, the calmness is discernible. Now shopping may only be a part of the mayhem. Others experience a real anxiety when it comes to the holidays. They have developed a perfectionist mentality and everything from the decorations, wrapping paper, the lights, the music, gifts, dinners, and parties must be absolutely perfect. And the dread that something might just be excellent or even average sets them off into their own despair. If we can just remember that mayhem is akin to panic as it can be our worst enemy. Instead, we can focus on the fact that nothing is ever as bad as it seems and that all will be well. Magic. What if we focused on the magic? The magical moments found when we share a meal with our family and friends, the true magical feeling that comes as we volunteer to help others, the magic of giving instead of receiving. You see, pacing is everything when it comes to managing the magic and minimizing the mayhem that comes with the season. Are we participating at the pace that makes us feel comfortable, maybe even magical? Or are
we the victim of the pace that has been created for us? Mayhem. The good news is that the choice is up to us regarding the pace and path that we choose. As Thanksgiving approaches I encourage you to give some consideration to what the upcoming season really means to you, your family and your friends, and what your personal pace will be. Let’s enjoy this holiday for everything that it is meant to be, let it set the foundation of gratitude and appreciation in our hearts and minds so that when we have finished that last piece of pumpkin pie and sipped our final cup of coffee or cordial on Thanksgiving, we are mentally and spiritually prepared to enter the rest of the holiday season. So is it magic or mayhem for you? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we focus on the magic instead of the mayhem, it really will be a better than good holiday season. Michael Norton is a Colorado resident, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Book explores law enforcement settings for blacks “Justice While Black” by Robbin Shipp, Esq. and Nick Chiles 2014, Bolden $14 / $17.50 Canada 160 pages You have the right to remain silent. But then, you already know that. You’ve seen it all your life on TV, read it in books, heard it in movies. It’s almost become a cliché. You have the right to remain silent, but you also have the right to speak up – which is precisely one of the things you don’t want to do if you’re arrested. In “Justice While Black” by Robbin Shipp, Esq. and Nick Chiles, you’ll learn why, among other things.
It is a sobering story — one in three young black men can expect to be jailed in his lifetime. The number of imprisoned African Americans is disproportionate to the number of jailed whites in this country. Ev-
eryone with dark skin knows about Driving While Black and Shopping While Black. And, of course, there are the headlines. The fact is that if you’re black – particularly if you’re a black male, Attorney Shipp says — you are vulnerable to being a potential suspect in a crime. It doesn’t matter who you are, who your father is, or even if you’re innocent: as soon as you’re put in the back of a police car, you’re probably going to jail. If that happens, the first thing to remember is to go against human nature and shut up. Be polite, answer questions succinctly, but don’t try to talk yourself out of anything. It won’t work; it could make
things worse. Know your constitutional rights, laws of search and seizure, and other rules, and teach them to your children. Shipp says that the Nation of Islam has proven the propriety of this: rarely does she see Muslim clients, in or out of jail. Know how to proceed when stopped while driving or walking. Learn to keep impulses in control when faced with arrest. Remember that the prison system is driven by economics. Don’t think that you can’t afford a private lawyer; talent doesn’t

November 27, 2014
Suicide prevention among youth We need to talk about suicide prevention. It affects all of us, including our children, teenagers and young adults. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 24 years nationally and claims the lives of about 4,600 teens each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s definitely a problem in Colorado. Studies done by Colorado State University in Fort Collins have shown that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for teens in Colorado – following only motor vehicle accidents. Every year in the United States 250,000 youth attempt suicide. Several factors increase the risk of suicidal behavior, such as having a history of previous suicide attempts or a family history of suicide. Other risk factors include a history of depression or other mental illness, substance abuse, a stressful life event, easy access to lethal methods and exposure to the suicidal behavior of others. Warning signs include talking about wanting to die or killing oneself, talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live, reckless behavior, sleeping too much or too little, substance use, looking for methods, and extreme mood swings. The problem with any list of suicidal warning signs is that many of the behaviors also describe typical adolescents. I’ve been working with adolescents for years, and it’s rare to find one who gets the right amount of sleep and doesn’t have mood swings. Teens often display reckless or impulsive behavior and they experiment with substances. “I want to die” or “Why don’t I just kill myself?” have become colloquialisms. During adolescence the brain is still developing in the areas that are responsible for executive functioning and reason. This begs the question, “How do you tell if a teen is suicidal or just being an adolescent?” It’s important to look at the severity and the combination of symptoms and if the behavior is out of the ordinary for the person. A drastic change in behavior may be a cause for concern. The next question that comes up is what to do when you think a teen is suicidal. Suicide is an uncomfortable topic for most and

it can feel awkward to talk about it. Some people believe that talking about suicide may make an individual feel worse and increase their thoughts of suicide, but studies show the opposite is true. Remaining calm and asking the question – “Are you thinking of killing yourself?” – often allows a teenager to feel less isolated and provides an opportunity for deeper discussion. Focus your concern on the teen’s well-being and avoid being accusatory. Simply listen and avoid being judgmental. Remind the individual that help is available. If a teenager discloses suicidal intentions, make sure to remove any means for self-harm and don’t leave the individual alone. Don’t swear to secrecy, but take action: Help from schools and community mental-health centers are available and should be sought immediately. Resources that are available include the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-TALK (8255) and Community Reach Center’s Crisis Hotline at (303) 853-3500. Community Reach Center also offers a youth module of Mental Health First Aid training, which teaches the signs, symptoms and behavior associated with various mental health conditions for youth ages 12 to 18 and how to assist someone experiencing a mental-health crisis. The next training is Nov. 11 in Northglenn. To register for this or another MHFA training, visit www.CommunityReachCenter.org or email MHFA@ CommunityReachCenter.org.

A HISTORIC CHASE
5A Jeffco hoops preview: Lakewood one of the best Ralston Valley expects another deep playoff run as well By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com 5A Jeffco was arguably the best league in the entire state last season as three of its teams made it all the way to the Sweet 16 of the state tournament. Two of those teams will return this season and battle it out for what could be a historic chase for the league. Lakewood (24-2, 16-0 in league last season) will enter the season as one of the top teams in the state, led by Mackenzie Forrest, who is already considered one of the best players in the state. Forrest guided the Tigers all the way to the Great 8 of the state tournament last season with a monster stat-line that included over 19 points and four steals per game. Forrest, and junior McKenna Bishop (11 points and 9.8 rebounds per game last season), will produce perhaps the most dynamic duo in the state in any classification this season. And Lakewood has a legitimate opportunity to compete for a state championship not only this season but over the next couple seasons. But while Lakewood has emerged as Jeffco’s best team last season, the leagues most consistent team over the past several seasons has been Ralston Valley. The Mustangs (20-6, 14-2 in league last season) were a really good team last year that ran into a buzz saw in Regis Jesuit in the playoffs. However, getting back to the Sweet 16 of
Lakewood junior Mackenzie Forrest is out to prove again this season she one of the state’s best players on one of the state’s best teams. Look for the Tigers to not only dominate 5A Jeffco this season but to make help her Tigers make a run at a state title. Photo by Dan Williams the state tournament is certainly realistic for Ralston Valley this season. The Mustangs lost a couple good players to graduation, but returning is one of the league’s best players — sophomore Ashley Van Sickle. Van Sickle averaged 12 points a
four rebounds per game as a freshman and many believe she has the talent and skill to dominate over the next few seasons. Ralston Valley and Lakewood should have a fantastic battle for 5A Jeffco this season with the winner of the league po-
Presenting the All-CCM Softball Team Honoring some of the state’s best hitters and pitchers By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com The fall season is over and it is time to reflect on some of the special athletes who helped make Jeffco again one of the best producers of softball talent in any league in the state. The annual All-Colorado Community Media Team honors the best individual prep efforts of the season. Congratulations to the following student athletes: Ariella Apodaca (Alameda); This junior was an offensive powerhouse producing 35 hits in 70 at bats good for a .500 season average. She also had five triples and will return next season as one of Jeffco’s best players. Denae Howes (Arvada); Just a freshman, Howes was the Bulldogs most potent bat the entire season with a stat line of .426 average, 17 RBIs and two home runs. Many are looking forward to her development over the next couple seasons. Jessi Kenney (Arvada West); The junior had huge production all season long with a stat line that consisted of a .442 average, 34 hits and four triples. Kenney will return next season as one of the league’s best hitters.
Brett Johnson (Bear Creek); A senior leader for her team, Johnson was also one of Jeffco’s biggest offensive forces with a stat line of .479 average, 23 hits and five doubles. Kelsey Marvel (D’Evelyn); The junior helped guide her Jaguars into the state tournament with a .471 average, 32 hits and 15 runs scored. Kristen Dunson (Golden); This junior was one of the biggest offensive producers in Jeffco this season producing a .515 average with 35 hits and 26 runs scored. And she could just be the single best offensive force in Jeffco next season. Camille Ostler (Green Mountain); An offensive superstar, this junior racked up monster numbers this season including a .481 average, 39 hits and 24 runs. Look out for her next season too. Daniela Caldera (Jefferson); This junior’s stat line is not an error, she really produced a .735 average and had 25 hits in just 34 at bats. She also has seven doubles, six triples and a pair of home runs. And if she went to a bigger school she would be a bigger star. Shelby Belloni (Lakewood); The senior leader had a big time season for the Tigers generating a .508 average, 32 hits and scored 22 runs. She will be missed by the program tremendously. Tori Randolph (Pomona); The senior pitcher who led the team with eight victories and
tentially being propelled deep into the playoffs. Bear Creek, Dakota Ridge and Columbine will push the Tigers and Mustangs this season but likely for only third, fourth and fifth place.

Rylie Strong (Ralston Valley); This junior pitcher was the Mustangs’ ace, winning eight games with a 2.75 earned run average. She was also a pretty good hitter too.

Apodaca headed to softball diamond at Metro Few have ever accomplished more in a Farmers’ uniform By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com WHEAT RIDGE - An all-time Farmer is preparing herself for greener pastures. Anacele Apodaca, a senior at Wheat Ridge, signed a letter of intent Wednesday to continue her softball career at Metro State University of Colorado. Perhaps the greatest softball player in the program’s rich history, over her four years Apodaca has proven herself as one of Colorado’s all-time best prep sluggers. Wheat Ridge fell in the semifinals of this year’s 4A state softball tournament but over her tenure Apodaca was a key factor in the Farmers’ 2011 and 2013 state championships teams. Moreover, Apodaca’s list of accolades and awards is second to none in the history of Wheat Ridge athletics. “Ana is really a special person not just a special player,” Wheat Ridge athletic director Nick DeSime one said. “She has done so much for not only Wheat Ridge athletics but for so many of her fellow students as well. We will definitely miss her.” Apodaca was just honored as a part of the CHSSA All-State First Team for the second time of her career, to go along with numerous first-team all-conference awards. In addition, she was selected to participate in the Colorado Coaches of Girls Sports 28th annual all-state softball team on Nov. 2. Also, a basketball player, a soccer player and even a wrestler, few have ever accomplished more athletically in Colorado prep
These two giant rings aren’t from the Elizabeth Taylor collection. They are actually the state softball championship rings which Apodaca helped deliver Wheat Ridge in 2011 and 2013. Photo by Dan Williams history than Apodaca. “I going to miss Wheat Ridge but I am also really excited about the future,” Apodaca said. “Metro has a great program and I hope I can have some of the same success there as I did here.” Apodaca accepted a scholarship that
will allow her to stay close to home but also compete at a high level collegiately. Moreover, Metro is currently undergoing construction of a new softball field and athletic complex. Even in a loss in her final high school softball game Apodaca singlehandedly
kept her Farmers alive as she hit two threerun home runs in a 8-6 loss to Frederick. Apodaca finished her senior season with an incredible stat-line consisting of a .432 average, 39 RBIs and eight home runs (including two grand slams).

4A Jeffco hoops preview: Green Mountain to dethrone D’Evelyn? But don’t sleep on rebuilt Golden this season as well By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com D’Evelyn hoops has been the class of 4A Jeffco for the past several seasons. But the graduation of the team’s top two players has left the rest of 4A Jeffco thinking this is the year the Jaguars take a step back. That leaves Green Mountain, Golden and Evergreen as three teams who look to have the goods to compete with D’Evelyn for a league title — and maybe more. The Rams (19-5, 12-2 in league last season) had every bit as good of a resume as the Jaguars did last season — except when the two teams met straight up. D’Evelyn beat Green Mountain twice last season — a 58-50 victory on Jan. 28 at D’Evelyn High School and a 31-30 victory two weeks later at Green Mountain. The Jaguars were simply a couple key possessions better last season. But that was last season. This season Green Mountain looks ripe to claim a league title behind some of the best young talent in Jeffco. Sophomore Delany Bernard was the league’s best freshman player last season averaging nearly 14 points per game and sophomore Hannah Hank is already one of the best “bigs” in the league. The duo will be complemented by Reilly West. This prep reporter predicts Green Mountain will be the winner of 4A Jeffco this season. But don’t count out Golden either. The Demons (13-12, 8-6 last season) lost their best player to graduation in Haley Blodgett, as well as five other seniors.
Last season Green Mountain frosh Danielle Lord was just one of multiple super-talented freshmen on the Rams’ roster. File photo
But Golden is also known for having one of the best team philosophies, and they could just surprise 4A Jeffco by finished as one of its top three teams. Senior’s Riley Sanders and Alex Ambrozic will be Golden’s new leaders and the
duo can get help from a strong supporting cast and a great young coach in Shea Scarlett. Also, don’t bury D’Evelyn just yet. The Jaguars (21-5, 13-1 last season) seem to be a basketball factory of annual talent.
Junior Lexi Reed will lead D’Evelyn this season with help from sophomore Payton Sampson. And even if the Jaguars do not win another league title, they will still be a top team not only in 4A Jeffco, but also in the state.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 24, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) While it seems that chaos is taking over, you get everything back to normal, even if it means being more than a little assertive with some people. Expect to hear more job-related news soon. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Expect to be able to move ahead with your workplace plans now that you have a good idea of what you might have to face. You also can anticipate a welcome change on the home front. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A quieter period settles in, giving you a chance to catch your breath, as well as allowing for more time to handle some important family matters. The arts dominate this weekend. Enjoy them. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) The frustrations of last week have pretty much played themselves out. You should find things going more smoothly, especially with those all-important personal matters. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Once again, you find a creative way to resolve a pesky problem in short order. However, a matter involving a possible breach of confidence might need a bit more time to check out. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Reuniting with an old friend could lead to the sharing of some great new experiences. But be careful you don’t find yourself once again being super-critical or overly judgmental. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You should be seeing some positive results following your move toward repairing that unraveling relationship. There might be some setbacks, but staying with it ultimately pays off. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Encouraging a friendlier environment in the home could go a long way to help dissipate anger and resolve problems, especially those affecting children. It won’t be easy, but you can do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A recent act of kindness is beginning to show some unexpected (but very welcome) results. On another note, expect to hear more about a possible move to another locale. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The good news is that the sure-footed Goat can rely on his or her skill to get around obstacles in the workplace. The notso-good news is that new impediments could turn up later. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A change of pace is welcome but also confusing. Before you make decisions one way or another, be sure you know precisely what it is you’re being asked to do. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Don’t fret if you don’t get the gratitude you think you’re owed for doing a nice thing for someone. There might be a good reason for that. In any event, what’s important is that you did it. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making the sort of wise decisions that ultimately shed new light on dark situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

state title. Ralston Valley, Arvada West and Lakewood all finished in the top half of the 5A Jeffco standings and all three teams also won playoff games. The Mustangs (18-8, 11-5 in league) proved to be one of 5A’s better teams last season as they won two playoff games before falling to Mountain Vista in the Sweet 16. This season Ralston Valley looks like a top ten team, led by 6-foot-9 junior Dallas Walton, and his eagle-like wingspan. Walton and senior Andrew Wingard will combine to make the Mustangs the toughest team in Jeffco this season — to go along with a strong supporting cast. Ralston Valley has all the makings this season of a team that could make a very deep playoff run. However, 5A Jeffco’s best individual player plays at Arvada West. Senior Thomas Neff returns along with his over 19 points per game average and this season it looks as though the Wildcats (15-10, 10-6 in league) have the goods to win a league title as well as a few playoff games. There is almost nothing that the 6-foot-5 Neff cannot do — he can shoot, pass and handle the ball as well as any player in the state. If Neff and fellow senior Jesse Porter can get high-level support from their role players, like Thomas’s brother Luke, who is a junior who averaged over 10 points per game himself last season, expect the Wildcats to be a force this season. But there is one more team in 5A Jeffco that might be flying under the radar in terms of teams who can finish in top three of the league standings — Lakewood. The Tigers (15-10, 9-7 in league) were streaky last season as they had a four- and six-game winning streak, mixed with a couple losing skids that cost them a top three finish in the league standings. However, Lakewood also lost several key seniors and the team will look much different than it did last season led by sophomore Kolton Peterson. How much and how quickly Peterson develops will dictate if the Tigers take that next forward or take a step back.

canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com As the district moves into the middle of the school year, the Jeffco Board of Education, with increasing student achievement at the forefront of their minds, decided to amend their current achievement goals. “We have two issues to resolve here,” said Board President, Ken Witt, “One is we have a few specific goals that have been met and we need to talk about how we want to do those, and I think we also have other proposals for goals on the table which we need to consider.” During their Nov. 20 conversation, the board of education discussed how they want to decrease the current remediation rate to 25 percent, and updated their goal of having third-grade advanced learning plan students increase to the 56-58 percentile in writing, 59-62 percentile in math and 57-59 percentile in reading. Along with these updates, the board discussed adding two new goals: increasing the eighth-grade algebra enrollment and achievement and increasing college and career readiness by increasing overall ACT scores. The board will create and vote on motions stemming from these proposals at their December meeting.

Center offers gifts for needy families By Crystal Anderson
canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Every child dreams of opening a present on Christmas morning, and one organization is striving to make that dream come true. The Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth (AWRSAY) Santa House kicks off its ninth season of giving on Dec. 3 in a new location and with 400 more children on its Christmas list. Temporarily located in the Arvada Plaza Shopping Center’s former theater just west of the AutoZone at 9460-B Ralston Road, the Santa House is expanding services to 17 area schools, helping more than 1,000 families have a brighter Christmas. “The poverty level and the homelessness in the metro continues to grow,” said Duane Youse, founder of Santa House. “The bottom line is they need help buying Christmas gifts so they can take care of their own livelihood.” Serving a selected group of schools in Arvada and Wheat Ridge, the program offers low-income families at those schools a way to obtain presents for their children who may not otherwise receive any. To qualify, families must bring their school’s voucher, a current form of identification and a piece of mail to verify their financial status. Following verification, families will be walked through the house by a personal shopper, or elf, who helps them pick out gifts for their child(ren). “For all the volunteers, when they help you with the bag and they (receiving families) say, ‘Thank you so much, we would have the Christmas we do without you,’ — it’s that satisfaction for me,” said Joel Folk a longstanding volunteer with the organization. During a visit to the Santa House, families will receive up to seven gifts per child including one big gift, a book, a game, coloring books and crayons, a hat, one pair of gloves, and stocking stuffers. Along with the gifts, families will receive some wrapping paper and Christmas decorations, as well as some infant and toddler clothes for those who need it. This year, organizers are seeking both cash and toy donations. Currently, the nonprofit is looking for new, unwrapped toys and gifts, especially board games, to give to every family in hopes they spend more time together this holiday season. Over the past eight years, the organization has served more than 6,576 families and 19,705 children. “It behooves the community to step up,” Youse said, “not only throughout the
