Park floods for 2nd time
After the floods of 2013, park staff repaired damaged in a more durable way, so the hope is the damage from this year’s rains won’t be as bad. Photos by Clarke Reader
Timing of inundation is problem compared to fall event in 2013 By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com Recent rains, while not as sudden or dramatic as the storms of 2013, may end up having just as much, if not more, of an impact on Bear Creek Lake Park as the storms
from two years ago. According to Drew Sprafke, regional parks supervisor at the park, there are two major reasons for this, and they are both tied to the timing of the rains. The first is the fact that the 2013 rains happened at the end of the park’s busy season, when attendance begins
to drop anyway. The second is in 2013, the trees and plants were entering into their autumnal cycle and shutting down before the winter. Neither of these facts was the case this time. Bear Creek Lake Park is just getting started on its busiest time of
year, and now around half of its amenities are shut down, including most of the trail system. The parks flora is all in its flowering spring cycle, and the influx of water during this delicate time could be extremely detrimental to their Ellingboe continues on Page 15

HELLO
... My Name Is
Sociology faculty member at Red Rocks Community College By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com About me I’ve been teaching full-time for 15 years, and I’ve been at Red Rocks for four years. I also taught in Illinois and Michigan, where I am originally from. I was feeling a little isolated in Illinois, and Colorado is very similar to Michigan, minus the mountains. I’ve worked in a variety of careers, including nonprofits working with people with developmental disabilities, and I served in the military for three years as active duty, and then for years in the National Guard. My passion I wanted to focus on sociology in my
studies because I wanted to better understand the issues facing our society, and how we can overcome the challenges we face. I’ve learned a lot of things in my time, including that people are resilient. Many people think they are living just the same life as everyone else, but each individual’s lives and home lives have a lot of diversity. Sociology gives an awareness that things aren’t always what they seem, and you have to be willing to dig for the truth. In my free time . . . I like to travel and hike with my dog. I like being outside, even if it’s just around a campfire with good conversation. I enjoy nature and gardening. I’m proud of . . . Receiving the Endowed Teaching Chair is a tremendous honor and I’ll be able to use the financial piece for professional development. I’m hoping to use it to get to Africa for several weeks, maybe next year. I’d like to volunteer there and make some kind of contribution. I’m a big proponent of service learning, and as a sociologist I like the exposure to other societies. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to grow personally and professionally and give back. As the 2015-2017 Endowed Teaching Chair, Mattison receives a three-year salary enhancement of $5,000 a year along with $2,500 per year for professional development.

Lakewood recognized by DRCOG City receives gold awards in two categories By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The City of Lakewood came away with two gold awards from the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) for the city’s planning and resident health work. The city earned a gold in the Community Livability category for its Healthy Lakewood partnership between the city, the Consortium for Older Adult Wellness and Centura Health, and a gold in the Planning for Economic Development category for the Sheridan Station 20-Minute Neighborhood Implementation Strategy and Mountair Park Community Farm. “It’s unusual for a community to win two golds in one year, so this is something to shout about,” said Steve Erickson, division director for communications and marketing at DRCOG. “Lakewood has been very thoughtful and purposeful in its efforts on behalf of its residents.” Healthy Lakewood launched in 2013 and combines health education and active lifestyle opportunities with health coaching. The program is a great way to help residents stay independent as long as possible, said Allison Scheck, marketing and community relations manager with the city. Nearly 90 percent of the residents who have completed the Healthy Lakewood program have remained active in the city’s community health and wellness programs, according to information provided by the city. Erickson said the high success rate of participants is one of the reasons the program was recognized. The 20-Minute Neighborhood program was developed with the City of Denver to improve the area around the Sheridan Station along the W light rail line. The program focuses on enhancing the neighborhood around the Sheri-

Part of the plan became the Mountair Community Farm, which is gearing up for its second season as it offers a place for community members to grow their own plants and food. The farm is particularly designed to get local children involved and learning about sustainable farming. The city is pleased with the recognitions, and aims to keep working with DRCOG. “We want to keep exploring the kind of work we could do with DRCOG,” Scheck said. “Winning both those awards was a big night for us.”

You’ve Wondered About Electric Cars, Now Come Check Them Out
By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®
Regular readers of this column know of my commitment to electric cars. Over the past decade, Rita and I did what so many car buyers do, first buying a couple Toyota-made hybrids, then a Chevy Volt, and finally a Tesla Model S. Just last week we took delivery of a second Tesla, shown here, one of the all-wheel drive models with “Autopilot” technology. On any given day, you will find four electric cars in the Golden Real Estate parking lot, now that broker associate Carrie Lovingier has traded her Jeep for a Chevy Volt. Several of our other broker associates may make their next car an electric one, having experienced driving the Tesla and Volt. Golden Real Estate is fully committed to sustainability, and electric cars are a big part of that
commitment. Solar photovoltaics are another element of that commitment, and our 10 kW solar system has resulted in a monthly electric bill of under $100 even with our four EV charging stations. We’ll be adding additional solar panels over time as our EV “fleet” expands further. (We also offer free EV charging to the public.) This Saturday is an opportunity for you, too, to catch the electric vehicle bug. We are hosting in our parking lot on South Golden Road, the monthly gettogether of the Denver Electric Vehicle Council, of which we’re a sponsoring member. In addition to our four EV’s, you will find many other makes and models of electric vehicles. If you own a plug-in electric car, bring it to our “roundup.” With tens of thousands of EV miles under my belt in various vehicles, I’ve become a bit of a
resource on the topic. I have developed a 30minute PowerPoint presentation on the topic, which I deliver to service clubs and other audiences. I’ll be delivering that presentation next Wednesday, June 10th, at the JeffCo Innovators’ Workshop, 6:30-8:30 at Golden City Hall. If you have an organization where this presentation would be of interest, please invite me. This Saturday’s Electric Vehicle Roundup in our parking lot takes place from 2pm to dusk, during the monthly “Supercruise” event. Please come and see the EV’s and ask the owners about their operation. Many of us will be giving free rides. See you there!
Here Are Some of Golden Real Estate’s Other Sustainable Practices:
We accept block Styrofoam for recycling— bring it with you on Saturday! (must be white, clean and unprinted — no food containers or packing peanuts) Our office has “sun tunnels” (aka Solatubes) for daylighting, to reduce electrical lighting All our agents are Certified EcoBrokers Our building is “super insulated,” reducing our consumption of natural gas to under $50 per month during winter’s coldest
months.

Mountair Park Community Farm, run by Sprout City Farm, hosted a Family Fiesta event on May 30.
Green thumbs celebrate spring
By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com
On the first day of the season really edging into hot weather, children are playing on a hill of dirt as tall as their parents. Some are playing a kind of king or queen of the hill, others are working on building their own little hills out of the dirt. The dirt isn’t from a construction site, nor has it been piled up by the parents — it’s the soil that will provide food to many in just a few months. The Mountair Park Community Farm, 5620 W. 14th Ave., celebrated the beginning of its second summer season in Lakewood with a Family Farm Fiesta on May 30, and neighbors and community members were out with their children to learn about growing their own food and how to participate at the community farm. And to play in the dirt. Sprout City Farms, which runs the farm, aims to get community children and families involved in healthy eating and neighborhood participation in the coming months before the Harvest festival this autumn. “We’re excited to be here and continue doing all we can for the community,” said Laura Lavid, executive director of Sprout

City. Judging from the packed tents at the Family Farm Fiesta, where visitors could try salsa recipes made of locally grown food, sample smoothies blended by the children — via a stationary bike — the community is very invested in seeing this farm grow. As families visited with Sprout City staff, they learned about some of the summer offerings, including workshops and a summer camp for the children. By the season’s end, the work will pay off with food for neighbors and neighboring schools, with countless opportunities to learn about the rewarding world of farming throughout. Perhaps the tent with the most visitors was the first one when one walked into the farm, where children could take some soil and seeds home and start some growing of their own. Nearly every family in attendance could be seen walking back to their cars and homes with a little white bucket full of a season’s potential in their hand. And dirt.

Changes along city’s main drag celebrated
Embrace the Fax brings community together
QUOTABLES “We’ve been very deliberate and intentional in all the investments we’ve made to help bring us to a future of abundance and hope.” — Kathy Hodgson, city manager
By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com
West Colfax is excitedly embracing the change happening along the corridor, and the city of Lakewood called together some of the area’s top minds for its first Embrace the Fax transit-oriented development forum on May 27. The event was a chance to speak to community leaders, developers and residents about all the work going on along West Colfax, and how the future is being built by these team efforts. “Colfax is the soul of Lakewood, and it’s coming roaring back,” said Mayor Bob Murphy. “This is the result of deliberate planning and three factors: strategic investments, city investments and timing.” The day kicked off with presentations from various community leaders, like City Manager Kathy Hodgson, Deputy City Manager and Economic Development Director Nanette Neelan, and Comprehensive Planning and Research Manager Roger Wadnal. They highlighted the efforts and investments of the city to lay the groundwork for the expansion of Colfax and how partnerships are helping everyone. “We couldn’t do this without partnerships, and we’re always looking for new opportunities to work with people,” Neelan said. “Lakewood prides itself on being open for businesses, and we’re still learning about the community and what they want for the area.” Creatives like 40 West Arts Chairman Bill Marino, Colorado Creative Industries Director of Public Policy and Creative Districts Margaret Hunt and Artspace Senior Vice President for Consulting and Strategic Partnerships Wendy Holmes spoke about the impact of the corridor’s focus on the arts, and how this focus is giving new life to the area. “I promise we’ll do something special and spectacular here because you have people who are special and spectacular,”
“There have been profound differences taking place here, and in the next year people will see even greater transformation. It’s how we change people’s lives that makes the difference.” — Bill Marino, 40 West Arts chairman “We’re seeing young people coming in droves — it’s a movement that came from LoDo to Sloan’s Lake to Edgewater and now here, and we don’t have enough housing product for them.” — Carrie Mesch, Mesch Commercial Real Estate
Holmes said. “I think Lakewood has the opportunity here to redefine suburban life.” Finally, developers Charles Woolley and Jeff Temple gave updates on their new housing projects that will be springing up along the W Rail line, Zephyr Line Apartments and West Line Flats. The highlight came in the late morning, when all the aforementioned speakers were joined by Carrie Mesch, from Mesch Commercial Real Estate, and Mike Jacoby, from Broad Street Ventures, to hold a roundtable discussion and to take questions about the corridor. Questions ranged from what investors are looking for in communities to how resident involvement helps the process. Some of the most enlightening answers came in response to a question about the biggest challenge to development in the area. “Outside perception is a big one. This is one of the best places we’ve ever worked with, but it can be difficult to get big companies focused on Lakewood,” Jacoby said. “It takes risk takers and pioneers, as well as community support,” Mesch added. “People have to believe, and I really believe we’re at a tipping point.” For more information visit www.embracethefax.org.

RMCAD names new president Scheer brings 40 years of education experience By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com Dr. Sage Ann Scheer has been announced as the new president of the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. Prior to assuming the position at RMCAD, Scheer spent 15 years as vice president of strategic sales and operations for EDmin.com, an educational software development corporation based in San Diego. She was also a senior partner of The Learning Systems Group, an educational consulting firm, and vice president of university operations for the Apollo Group, where she helped to develop the online degree pro-
grams and delivery systems required to support more than 150,000 students, according to information provided by the college. We called Scheer to talk about her background, goals and challenges facing RMCAD. Tell us a little bit about your background. SS: I have a Ph.D. in organizational development with an emphasis in marketing and system design. I spent 40 years in K through Scheer 20 education and have been very involved in online education. What was the process like to be named president of RMCAD? SS: I’ve been on the RMCAD board of directors since 1992, and I was elected as board chair in 2014. We received the resignation of our current president (Dr. Maria Puzziferro), and the board unanimously
voted for me to step in. I served as the chairman of the academic affairs subcommittee since 2009, so I am very familiar with the academic offerings and policies and procedures. What are some of the issues you’d like to take on in your new role? SS: I keep hearing that RMCAD is the best-kept secret in arts education, and so I want to increase awareness and our visibility on a national level. I want to build on the foundation of our founder, Philip J. Steele, and offer programs that meet the emerging market needs. I want to look at programs that meet the needs of students who are already working — programs on demand. We have an excellent cadre of faculty, and I want to look at providing housing, career development and internships for both them and students. What are some of the biggest challenges facing the college?
SS: Our biggest challenge in the past has been marketing ourselves outside of the front range area and Colorado, but with the digital marketplace, we’ve gotten much better at that. Right now we’re working on maintaining and developing programs that are relevant to career and employment needs. Over the past two years we’ve increased enrollment around 50 percent, so we need to maintain and sustain that type of growth while holding on to our community feel. I also want us to extend our community into the Lakewood community. It’s the right time and right place for that. What is your favorite thing about RMCAD? SS: The passion and energy here is something I hold on to, and I hope every person I come in contact with feels that off of me. We’re a very open and transparent institution, and I look forward to seeing what our future needs will be.

soil and cover crop the area in rye grass and clover in the fall. This will all be turned in in the spring to help increase soil fertility. It will most likely be planted in Alfalfa (a nitrogen fixing legume and animal feed) for the 2016 growing season. The main challenge is preparing the ground for the corn maze.
The Action Center is in need of strong volunteers to pack, sort, move and stack in-kind donations. Volunteers must be able to consistently lift 20-40 pounds and must be able to start immediately. Volunteers shifts are available Monday through Saturday and are three to four hours long. This is a great volunteer project for retired men and women, community groups, businesses and high school students on summer vacation. Annually, The Action Center serves nearly 30,000 unduplicated individuals in need. For more information or to sign up, please contact Lorraine at 303-237-7704 or lorrainea@theactioncenterco.org.

Session of bipartisanship at Capitol The legislative session wrapped up on May 6. I was busy in the Capitol fighting for Colorado’s middle class. This session we had a split legislature, with Democrats controlling the House and Republicans controlling the Senate, but I was able to work across the aisle to pass some very important legislation that will move Colorado forward. As a small-business owner, I have worked hard to ensure we are making Colorado an attractive place to do business and passing policies that support Colorado’s small businesses. This session, one of the bipartisan bills that I sponsored ensures that our workforce is well trained to fill the jobs of the 21st century. My bill, which I sponsored with Rep. Jim Wilson, R-Salida, creates a postsecondary and workforce-readiness statewide coordinator to work with school districts, businesses, colleges and universities, and the Colorado Department of Education to develop programs and best practices to help high school students decide which postsecondary path is right for them. This bill passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support and was part of a broader package of bills to increase workforce readiness and attack lingering unemployment across the state.
Another biparState Rep. tisan bill I worked Tracy Kraft-Tharp on this session will bring revolutionary GUEST technology to ColoCOLUMN rado to help predict and prevent wildfires across the state. The technology has been developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder and combines advanced computer modeling with refined data sampling to give first responders up to 18 hours’ warning of where and when wildfires are likely to start and where they’ll go once they start. The system will allow our firefighters to be better prepared, keep our citizens safe, prevent property damage and reduce the likelihood of another devastating wildfire. This bill was signed by Gov. Hickenlooper on May 20. I was proud to sponsor a bill this session to increase access to quality mental health services. House Bill 1067, which is another bipartisan bill, requires that a licensed psychologist receive 40 hours of ongoing professional development every two-year license renewal cycle. This bill will ensure that psychologists in Colorado are able to provide accurate, quality care to their patients.
We’ve heard from our parents, teachers and schools about the need to balance the number of school tests with accountability in our schools. I passed a bill, with Sen. Andy Kerr, to reduce social studies testing from each year to every three years. The bill passed the House with unanimous support! The legislature also passed a bill reducing standardized testing by 40 hours over the course of a student’s K-12 career! It is an honor to serve as your state representative at the Capitol. I love to hear from you, my constituents, and I hope you can join me at my monthly town hall meetings or one of my monthly coffees. My town halls are the third Saturday of every month at the Standley Lake Library from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. My coffees are the fourth Thursday of every month from 8-9 a.m. at La Dolce Vita off of Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada and 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Panera in the Walnut Creek shopping center in Westminster. I hope you can make it! State Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp’s House District 29 includes Arvada and the Jefferson County portion of Westminster. She can be reached at 303-866-2950 or at Tracyforstaterep.com.

Everyone needs a little help sometimes I’m not good with stairs. Never have been, which can be somewhat of a dilemma because I have an irrational fear of elevators. On a first date once, I missed a step down to a lower level restaurant and rolled all the way to the bottom, nearly ending up in the hostess’ lap. I somehow tipped forward on an escalator in a London train station – an escalator! – and tumbled with my luggage down that mass of moving metal until someone at the top hit the emergency stop button. In just the last 10 years, I have broken each of my feet on stairs – one by sprinting up those in my home to silence a screaming teapot, and another by stepping wrong outside a restaurant on the very evening that I had committed to trekking in Nepal eight months later (my foot healed in time). So when I misjudged a wide stone step while on vacation recently and landed hard in my shorts and flip-flops, I wasn’t surprised. I wasn’t pleased, of course, but I wasn’t surprised. It’s what happened next that did surprise me. Nothing. Nothing happened. After pitching forward and landing awkwardly, I was sitting on that hard surface somewhat
dazed. Breakfasters on the deck beside me looked up, but no one moved or even did more than glance in my direction. The people at the closest table seemed to regard me with cool disdain. To be fair, none of the resort staff Andrea Doray had seen me – they would have been ALCHEMY over in a flash. Did these breakfast diners think I had already been enjoying some of those little umbrella drinks? (I hadn’t.) And even if I had, would that have made me unworthy of their help … or even their attention? As I sat there, bruised, bemused, and a bit stunned, a woman heading to the beach stopped and reached down her hand to help me up. She said “This happens to all of us.” Then she was off on her own way. Her words have stayed with me. Most, if not all, of us stumble sometimes. And we sometimes need a hand to help us back up. A mis-step on the stairs is certainly not the
only time I personally have needed help. And help usually arrived in one form or another, often in unexpected ways, to help me get back on my feet. So, I wonder now, how can I extend my own hand to someone in need? Who around me needs my assistance today? What can I do to help others back to their feet? Just a day or so after my spill, I saw a street person with a sign on a corner in Denver. I often donate to the cause when the spirit moves me, and that day the spirit spoke clearly. The sign read: “Everyone needs a little help sometimes.” I am blessed to have been able to hand some cash to this man, even as the light turned green and I moved off into my own life. Everyone needs a little help sometimes. Everyone does. It took a Good Samaritan in Mexico and a stranger on a street corner to remind me. Andrea Doray is a writer who prefers to stay on her feet, but is not optimistic about that. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray. com.

How do I help my child who has a severe mental illness? Editor’s Note: Readers are encouraged to send their mental health-related questions to Ask A Therapist. Please email questions to AskATherapist@CommunityReachCenter. org. Q: Do you have any good resources or helpful advice for a mother with a child who suffers from a severe mental illness? A: As a parent, you are faced with successes and challenges, joys and struggles, every single day. Certainly, caring for a child with a severe mental illness may add to the stress of parenting. Please know you are not alone. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that in the United States four million youth are impacted by a serious mental health condition that affects their functioning at home, school and with friends. If your child is struggling in any of these areas, there is help out there. For example, Community Reach Center serves children and their families through our Early Childhood Services program, our School-based Therapy programs, our Outpatient offices, and our In-home Resiliency Support Services team. Skilled, masters-level therapists can help your family develop coping skills to manage stress and to devise new strategies for helping your child succeed. Mental health centers such as ours offer parenting classes like Love & Logic as well as parenting support groups and individualized, one-on-one parenting support. Community Reach Center also knows that support is not just needed during the week; we offer weekend support through our Weekend Walk-In Clinic every Saturday and Sunday. Another great resource is our NAMI Friends & Family Support Group that meets the last Wednesday of every month from 7-9 p.m. at our Thornton administrative office. This is a great opportunity to learn from and share experiences with other people who have a friend or family member struggling with a mental illness. It’s important to remember that your child’s mental illness is only one component of who he/she is as a person. None of us are defined by any single component
but by a combination of our experiences, goals, struggles and ASK A Take THERAPIST achievements. time to reflect on your child: What are his/ her strengths? What does he/she enjoy? What makes him/her the special person you love? Next, consider what activities you enjoy doing together and try to find time to do those activities every day or week. Do you like reading together, going for bike rides or baking cookies? When you take opportunities to spend quality time together, even if it’s for only a few minutes, you build positive attachment with your child that supports emotional well-being for both of you. Lastly, we are best able to care for others when we take the time to care for ourselves, so what do you enjoy doing? What activities bring you a sense of calm or help relieve stress? Try to take some time for yourself everyday – even if it’s just for 10 minutes – to help lower your stress and feel more grounded. When you feel calm and supported, you are better able to care for your child through any challenge he/she might face. — Lauren Jassil, MSW, LCSW, Manager, Early Childhood Services, Community Reach Center

Bartholemew Vincent Hegarty September 17, 1924 – May 18, 2015
Bartholemew Vincent Hegarty, 90, of Lakewood CO, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2015 at his home with family present. Bart was born September 17, 1924 to John & Lillian Hegarty in Ballina Ireland. Bart was five years old when his family immigrated to America in 1929, settling in Skokie, Illinois a suburb of Chicago where he was raised. He attended the Niles Township High School and participated in football, baseball, basketball, student government and the Glee Club. In 1943 he served three years in the Army Air Force, during WW II as a Cryptographer, rank of Corporal primarily in New Guinea and received several medals including two Bronze Stars. After the war he attended and graduated from the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign, (Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity), with an Insurance degree as the founding President of the Illini Insurance Society. He began work as a Fireman’s Fund Special Agent in Iowa and after a couple of years later he relocated to beautiful Colorado. During this time he met his future wife Lucine Adele Ostmeyer whom he married in 1952 but who sadly passed away from cancer 1961. Soon after his marriage to Lucine, he chose to open his own business which later became Insurance of Denver, Inc. and later included his son Shawn celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2007. At one time the independent agency was one of the larger independent agenMALM
cies in the region. After his wife passed Bart’s mother Lillian came to Colorado to help raise his five young children, ranging in age from one year to seven years old. In 1989 Lillian passed away at the age of 91. Bart was also very fortunate to have known three beautiful and bright women over his many years after his wife Lucine passed away, which include Mary Morrell, Irma Jean Guire and later Wilma Long who also have all passed. To teach his children about commerce, in 1970 he purchased a 30 foot tall, 12 lanes, huge fiberglass commercial “Sky Slide”. His five children took turns operating the Sky Slide as a business during their summers from 1969 to 1982 at Lakeside Park, Colorado before they went off to college. Bart was known for his support of all things Lakewood/Jefferson County as a little league football assistant coach, the Chairman of the Jeff
County Education Accountability Commission and Lakewood on Parade celebrations (serving as the Grand Marshal one year) and several catholic charities. His “St. Patrick Day” parties were legendary for many years in Lakewood. Along with his passion for his family and business he was passionate about his lifelong golf game which he continued to play until age 89 at Lakewood Country Club. His accomplishments in golf included seven Holes in One. An Irishman through and through Bart was also known as an occasional self-styled Irish philosopher on the 19th hole after a game of golf where many of the world’s issues were debated. Survivors include (oldest to youngest) Sons: Shawn, Bryan (Stacy), Patrick (Kelly) and Brett (Brenda); Daughter: Shannon (Joseph); Grandsons: Jason Runung, Kris Runung, Bart, Ryley, Timothy, and Matthew; Granddaughters: Janine, Kimberly Badillo Warren, Nikki, Katie Renee, Cathleen Badillo, Katie and seven Great Grandchildren. A memorial “Celebration of Life” will be held Sunday June 7th at Lakewood Country Club in Lakewood at 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Flowers can be sent to the memorial celebration or in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lutheran Hospice, (Denver CO) and/ or the Grinnell VFW, (Grinnell KS).

Rich spiritual history still guides Jeffco seekers By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Inner peace is a treasure. That is one thing Abbot Tinh Man, a Buddhist monk, teaches at the Compassionate Dharma Cloud Monastery in Morrison. “If you don’t have inner peace,” he said, “everything else you have doesn’t matter.” Buddhism includes many paths, but Man said each path seeks to transform the things that cause pain and suffering, and to let go of afflictions to find that inner peace. Compassionate Dharma Cloud Monastery encompasses many Buddhist traditions, according to the 40-year-old Man, who has been a practicing monk for the past 25 years. Every month, both English and Vietnamese-speaking worshipers come to the monastery for a Day of Mindfulness. They spend seven hours meditating, chanting, doing yoga and learning the teachings of Buddha. The teachings help people “understand how Buddhism is related to everyday life,” Man said, “how it can change their habitual pattern.” Buddhism originated in the Indian subcontinent about 2,500 years ago. It stems from the teachings of the original Buddha, which were later compiled into scriptures known as sutras. Seven percent of the world’s population practices Buddhism, about 487 million people, according to Pew Research Center’s 2010 data. Almost 4 million people within the U.S. identify as Buddhist. China has the largest number of practicing Buddhists, with about 244 million people. In Lakewood, Sven Hillring has been practicing Buddhism for 32 years because of the changes he says he’s seen in his life as a Buddhist. “This gives me the wisdom and energy to keep creating value wherever I go,” Hillring said. Hillring is a member of Soka Gakkai International, which is a Buddhist network of 12 million people in 192 countries and territories in the world. There are about 100 Soka Gakkai centers in the U.S., including the Denver Buddhist Center, located near Colfax Avenue and Speer Boulevard, and more than 500 Soka Gakkai chapters. Hillring meets with the Lakewood district. Soka Gakkai members are Nichiren Buddhists, who teach that each person possesses “the courage, wisdom and compassion to face and surmount any of life’s challenges,” its website states. “It’s a practice of self-empowerment,” member Lauren Nelson said. The Lakewood district meets four times a month. The members study, share and discuss the teachings of Buddha, and how Buddhism can be applied to daily challenges in life. And they chant. “Rather than blame people, my surroundings or my health for my suffering,” Hillring said, “I chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and take responsibility for my situation.” The phrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo means devotion to the

A 13th-century Japanese priest named Nichiren “identified that the Lotus Sutra is the key to developing the Buddha nature,” according to the Soka Gakkai International’s website. There are many sutras in Buddhism, said Man, who teaches from a number of different ones at the monastery. He changes them around for his teachings so people can learn from different ones. But “the main things,” he said, are “to generate concentration and good merit.” Man teaches people to develop confidence in themselves, he said, and “explore themselves and see what brings them personal peace and happiness.” Chris Surposa lived at the Compassionate Dharma Cloud Monastery for a year, and during that time he developed many of the ideas for what would become his Noble Arts Project. “That’s where the foundation of my art was seeded,” he said. “My stay there influenced me to share the ideas (that) impacted me with the rest of the world.” Surposa, 33, a resident of unincorporated Jefferson County, said the project is meant to “inspire higher consciousness through symbology and illustration.” Buddhist ideas depicted in the art can include trusting in one’s own inner wisdom and bridging with the ethereal, for example. Not all of the line is traditionally Buddhist, but a lot of its art encompasses the ideas, Surposa said, such as interconnectedness and balance. As a global organization, Soka Gakkai’s ultimate goal, Nelson said, is to create world peace. It begins with inner happiness. “People are driven by the same need to be happy, no matter where you are,” Nelson said. “We have to believe we have the right to be happy. Becoming happy, as individuals, has a ripple effect.”

Union Station eateries gain global cred When Travel + Leisure magazine, a national consumer publication, recently posted its picks for the nine best train station restaurants, two Denver eateries were included in that prestigious short list, which included entries from New York, Penny Parker Hong Kong, Paris, London and Tokyo. MILE HIGH T+L lavished the LIFE love on Stoic & Genuine and Mercantile Dining & Provision in Denver’s revamped Union Station. Here’s what the magazine said about the local dining establishments: “When Denver’s Union Station reopened last year after extensive renovations, it brought with it a clutch of new — and worthy — restaurants. Stoic & Genuine, a seafood temple from Denver chef Jennifer Jasinski, commanded attention even before it opened. Between its raw bar, ‘seafood tower of power,’ and ‘surf in turf’ dish of big-eye tuna wrapped in New York strip steak, Stoic & Genuine won strong reviews and was even named one of 5280 magazine’s top 10 new Denver restaurants. “In a stroke of fortune, Denver Union Station’s remodel project actually yielded two highly regarded restaurant projects. Mercantile Dining & Provision, run by chef Alex Seidel, is one part casual restaurant and one part food market selling charcuterie, cheese, jam and more. The menu here offers a variety of pasta dishes such as squid ink bucatini, Spanish octopus a la plancha, a crispy half chicken, and family dinners like a bone-in 36-ounce rib-eye or roasted lamb shoulder, each served with a variety of sides. Mercantile, too, was named one of 5280 magazine’s best new restaurants in 2015.” While the recognition of this level of culinary prowess causes pride in Denver diners, it makes local restaurant pundit John Imbergamo downright delighted. “It seems that every time a national list of restaurants hits the web, Denver’s culinary community searches in vain for a representative, whether it’s Best Ice Cream, Best New Restaurant or Hot New Chef,” Imbergamo said. “In 25 years of working with Denver restaurants, this might be the first time that Denver scored two slots on an international top restaurant list. Are we finally winning a few converts to the Mile High culinary scene?” For the rest of the story, go to www. travelandleisure.com/slideshows/allaboard-for-the-coolest-train-station-restaurants.
Upstairs Circus opening in Landmark
Upstairs Circus, a social bar where people can create DIY art and design projects, will open its second metro-area location at The Landmark development between Jing and Masters Gallery in Greenwood Village. The first Denver location opened in LoDo in November 2013. The Landmark branch is expected to open in September. “The Landmark is the social center of the DTC area and we’re thrilled to welcome Upstairs Circus’ unique and fun concept to the community,” said Amy Cara, the partner at East West Partners overseeing The Landmark development. “Upstairs Circus has a loyal crowd of followers in downtown Denver and we think the social art experience will be a huge success at The Landmark.” While Upstairs Circus space at The Landmark will have a similar vibe to its LoDo sister, founders Matt and Kelly Johannsen will create new programming based on the neighborhood’s individual Parker continues on Page 11

Celebrity in Aurora
My former Denver Post colleague Kevin Coleman had an accidental close encounter of the celebrity kind recently at Starbucks on Parker Road and Iliff in Aurora. He said, “OK, I am sitting here drinking some tea while listening to the baseball game and these two ladies sit next to me. One of them looks like Jane Curtin. The other lady sees me and politely asks what I am listening to. I say the Rockies and the other woman asks how Tulo is playing? I couldn’t resist and tell her she looks like Jane Curtin. Her friend says, ‘That’s because she is Jane Curtin. She is my sisterin-law.’
Overheard
Eavesdropping on Facebook: “So, I’m 6-foot-2. My daughter just came to me in the kitchen wearing her three-inch pumps, and was pretty darn close to being eye to eye with her old man. She said, ‘Dad, I like the weather up here.’ BTW, she’s 14.” Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area. Parker also writes for Blacktie-Colorado.com.

Lakewood’s INSPIRE Arts Week runs from June 4 -14 and offers a vast swath of arts events for all ages. Courtesy photo
It’s all about art for 11 straight days Lakewood hosts fifth annual celebration of creative community By Clarke Reader
creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The fifth annual INSPIRE Arts Week Lakewood is back to celebrate the veritable cornucopia of arts benefiting the city. “It’s exciting that we’re at the point that we have followers who look forward to this week every year,” said arts programming curator Lorene Joos.
1
Eleven days of events: INSPIRE Arts Week runs from Thursday, June 4, to Sunday, June 14, with an array of free and discounted events presented by art and cultural organizations throughout the city. Nineteen organizations are participating this year by producing more than 30 events and exhibits during the week-and-a-half event.
2
New offerings: New to INSPIRE this year is Twigs and Twine, located in Belmar’s Block 7 Arts District, offering a workshop on June 10. Attendees will learn three finishes that can be used to fix up their furniture at a special discounted rate. Also new this year is the free Lamar Station Crossing Chalk Art Festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, at the residence at 6150 W. 13th Ave.

There will be a free opening reception for the Lakewood Arts Council’s exhibit “Tales of the Painted Cats” from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 4, and visitors can return for a free Sidewalk Art event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 6.

Group partnerships: One of the best things about INSPIRE is the way it encourages organizations to work together.

The galleries on Belmar’s Block 7 will be hosting a free Art Walk that coincides with Music on the Plaza.
5
Looking to the future: INSPIRE has grown steadily in pop ularity over the past half-decade, and organizers are already dreaming up ways to make next year’s event bigger and better, and to get more public participation. “We’ve been talking about this for a while and we’re thinking for next year having a competition for people to design our posters,” Joos said. “We want to do a bigger public art component next year.”

growth. “It’s a different world this time,” Sprafke said. “It’s going to be more than a month before things are back to any kind of normal.” Waters in the reservoir are about 40 feet above normal, and are somewhere between 5 to 10 feet below 2013 levels, according to Sprafke and Joe Maxwell, operations project manager with the Army Corps of Engineers. The corps owns the park and manages its dams to protect cities and residents downstream. “Bear Creek reservoir is operating exactly as it was designed to,” Maxwell said. “The whole reason it’s there is to protect Bear Creek and downtown.” Water resource engineers monitor the
water levels in the park and surrounding area to decide how much water can safely be released. Maxwell said around 500 cubic feet of water per second is currently being released. The reservoir, Bear Creek and Turkey Creek are filling faster than water is being released, and that’s causing the flooding. “We have target levels down in Denver we don’t like to exceed,” Maxwell sad. “We try to lower levels as soon as we can, but we also have to factor in future weather.” Until water levels lower, it’s unclear what kind of damage the park has sustained. After the 2013 floods, a lot of the damaged waterways were repaired in a better way, so Sprafke is hopeful the situation won’t be as bad. As far as the summer season is concerned, some events and schedules are being shuffled to accommodate the park’s current condition. Now it is a bit of a waiting game. “People are going to need to be patient as we move forward,” Sprafke said.
Union Continued from Page 1
asked those in attendance to text “SUFAS” to 95402 to show their support and stay up to date with union happenings, community walks and district news. The relationship between the school board and the teachers union has deteriorated since a new board majority was elected in late 2013. Since then, board opponents have cited a lack of transparency, accountability and respect from the majority as the cause behind teacher sick-outs, student protests, a failed 2014 teacher compensation negotiation, and a lawsuit. “I hope that Jeffco can stop doing what’s happening at DougCo — it’s not good for kids,” said Laura Eloe, a teacher at Thun-
derRidge High School in Douglas County whose children attend Jeffco schools. “We love our school, we’re at Normandy, and I’m here to support my teachers.” Currently the union is in talks with the district, negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. However, while the union says it continues to negotiate in good faith, it is also preparing its members for a possible strike, and sent out Strike FAQs on May 21 to all members. During the rally the speakers encouraged supporters to be active this summer, taking part in union events, spreading the word about the board’s actions, the impending election and repeatedly — to stand up against the board and stand up for students. “You’re amazing, you’re incredible, you’re going to do it — you’re going to take back our schools,” Reed said, as the audience chanted “Take back our schools!”

Rams win second title
Rams players bring their Class 4A baseball championship trophy to the fence so their fans can get a close look at it after Green Mountain won its second straight Class 4A state baseball championship on May 27 by edging LewisPalmer 4-0. Photos by Tom Munds
Green Mountain repeats as Class 4A state baseball champ By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Green Mountain team successfully defended its Class 4A baseball title and accepted its second championship trophy in a row, besting Lewis-Palmer 4-0 in the May 27 championship game. “After coming back from a first-round loss to win the title last year, we had to step up and prove we are the best 4A team in the state like we did today,” Rams coach Brad Madden said after the title game. “But it wasn’t easy, as we won four tournament games by one run. I told the guys there was nothing in the rule book saying we always had to win by one run. Today we swung the bats better. Once we got the lead, the feeling in the dugout was, let’s keep this going and win this title.” The Rams took the lead in the first inning when Reid Effrein scored Green Mountain’s first run on an RBI double by Talon Schaller. The team added to the lead in the third inning. Wyatt Featherstone singled and scored on an RBI double by Cole Shetterly. Schaller then tripled to score Shetterly to make the score 3-0. Schaller had three hits for the Rams, including a double and a triple, and he drove in two of his team’s runs Green Mountain scored its final run of the game in the fourth inning. Chase Upton doubled and scored on a fielder’s choice. Both teams played errorless defense. One difference was Green Mountain got eight timely hits while Rams pitcher
Josh Ramirez only gave up four hits, and two of them came in the first inning. The coach said he was a little shaky in the first inning when the Rangers got two men on base. But from then on, he was in control on the mound. Ramirez struck out five, gave up one walk and 10 of the 21 outs were on infield ground balls. “When we got out of the jam in the first inning, we knew he would get stronger and keep getting better,” the coach said. “I have all the confidence in the world in him when I hand him the ball and tell him to pitch for us.” Coach Madden said if he had to describe this team, he would say it is a group of competitors who never give up or worry about the situation. “They don’t worry about if it is the first inning or the seventh inning,” he said. “They just keep playing hard every time they go out on the field and that is why they are state champs.” He added that he hadn’t checked the record books, but he thinks Green Mountain may be the first Jefferson County school to win back-to-back state baseball championships. Ramierz had an ice pack on his pitching arm as he talked about the game and the season. “It was a great experience to be there today,” he said. “Getting to pitch the championship game means the world to me because not many people get to say they got to play in a state championship game much less get to say they were on the state championship team two years in a row.” He said he has four pitches and tries to move the pitches around to keep the
Green Mountain’s winning pitcher Josh Ramirez helped keep the Lewis-Palmer lineup off the scoreboard, leading to the Rams’ second straight state 4A title. batters guessing. Schaller had similar comments. “This is such an amazing feeling today to win a second championship in a row,” he said after the game. “I had a good day with the bat but that is be-
cause I listened to the coaches, relaxed and had fun. It felt great out there on the field today, and it is even a greater feeling to be part of this two-time championship team.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 1, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries self-esteem level is high, as is your impatience to see more action come your way in the workplace. Good news, Lamb: It could start to happen sooner than you think. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Changing things now could upset a lot of people. But if you feel you’re acting because you believe it’s the right thing to do, others will understand and even come to support you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A change of mind might not necessarily be a change of heart. You still want to go ahead with your plans, but you might see a better way to make them happen. So go for it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An old business dispute could re-emerge and possibly affect upcoming negotiations. Consider opening up the situation to include suggestions from others on both sides of the issue. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some Leos and Leonas might find it somewhat difficult to get their ideas accepted or even considered. But that’s only for a while. Things will soon return to the way you like them. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The pace seems to be slowing down from the hectic on-the-job run you recently enjoyed. But be assured that you’re still in the race to pick up new workplace-related goodies. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Seasonal changes create opportunities for busy Librans. However, be sure to balance your workload with your personal life so that you don’t overdo it on one end or the other. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A former critic could make a surprise turnaround and become a supporter. But if your Scorpion sense suspects a questionable motive, who are the rest of us to doubt it? SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Data on a new project seems less than dependable. But it might turn out to be just the opposite. Consult with someone who knows how you might best be able to check it out. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Capricorneans face many decisions this week, with the Sea Goat’s kids rating high on the consideration scale, especially regarding vacations and upcoming school matters.

And this week, you’ll have several chances to show off that gift for a very special person. Good luck.

By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The calendar may say it is baseball season, but it was all about football skills on May 30 as 15 teams took part in the Englewood Invitational 7-on-7 tournament and hog relays. On the gridiron, the focus was moving the football in the 7-on-7 competitions, which are all-passing, touch-football matches involving backs, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs. The 15 teams were divided into three pools of five teams each for round-robin competition. Based on pool play record, the top teams advanced to a tournament to determine the event champion. Fairview won the tournament. Golden was 2-2 in tournament play, beat Englewood in the opening round of the tournament, but lost in the quarterfinals to finish fifth in the final standings. Golden coach Tom Baker said the invitational was the first football competition against other schools this summer. “We have a good core of seniors and we just finished camp where we saw a lot of freshmen and sophomores,” the coach said during a break in tournament action. “I expect our team should be better than we were last year.” Baker said the Golden will be strong at the skill positions, and Trent Morris is back at quarterback this season after being sidelined for the last half of the season with a broken hand. “I feel great, and I think we will win some games this year,” the senior, who also plays baseball, said. “I am glad to be back on the field. I have been playing football forever, and I want to do what I can to get the Golden program back to where it was once upon a time.” Morris said that as the quarterback for a second season, he brings leadership to the team. “Quarterbacks have to bring leadership to the team,” he said “But leadership (alone) won’t help, because without skills the leadership doesn’t really matter.”
SPORTS ROUNDUP Baseball
Green Mountain 4, Lewis-Palmer 0 - Green Mountain became the first repeat Class 4A baseball state champion since Niwot in 2004-05 as the Rams shut out Lewis-Palmer at Metro State on May 27 to take the trophy. Talon Schaller went 3-for-3 at the plate and played the hero as he had a two-out, RBI double to plate the first run of the game in the bottom of the first and then smacked a two-out, RBI triple to put the Rams up 3-0 in the third inning. Cole Shetterly had an RBI double before Schaller’s triple in the third inning for Green Mountain, and the Rams scored the fourth run on a double play in the fourth inning. Josh Ramirez, the reigning Class 4A Player of the Year, took the win on the mound with a complete game, five-hit shutout. Green Mountain 2, D’Evelyn 1 - D’Evelyn’s season ended in heartbreaking fashion as league rival Green Mountain defeated the Jaguars on a game-winning passed ball in the bottom of the seventh inning in the semifinals of the Class 4A state baseball championship on May 26. D’Evelyn defeated Green Mountain in the regular season, a 3-1 win on the road on April 30. D’Evelyn put together a 22-3 season this year, with two of three losses coming in the state tournament, and finished as league runner-up behind Wheat Ridge after winning 11 games last season.
