MY NAME IS

SUSAN DAVIS

Counselor, teacher, director of student success at Early College of Arvada Counseling and taekwondo I think that student success means so many different things. My background is in counseling and taekwondo. I was the first P.E. teacher at Early College of Arvada — the only P.E. teacher for the first eight years. To me, student success is anything that helps a kid do great things here at Early College and after. Being such a unique school, we get to do things little different. The kids make my job. The kids and the staff — the staff is truly amazing. They are motivated to make a difference in the lives of these kids.

It’s a really great group of people.

Joining Early College When I graduated with my master’s

successful. And that really motivates me. I love working with the individual kids, learning who they are and getting to help them see what the possibilities are.

in counseling, I was just getting back into the workforce after raising my daughter. I bought my own embroidery company because I still wanted to be home a little. I went to sell some products to a group of people and talked to them about the school they were opening. I asked if they needed a part-time counselor and they did, so we chatted. And we chatted some more about taekwondo — they didn’t have a P.E. teacher. So, I started at Early College as a part-time counselor and taught taekwondo. I was destined to be here. Eleven years later, here I am and it’s been an interesting journey. But it’s been such a blessing.

Guiding student success I think there’s been a shift in what kids need now and the change of when we opened the school. It was a straight shot to four years of college.

It was cookie-cutter and easy. But I don’t think it’s that simple and easy anymore. It’s really getting to know who these kids are and the cost of education. There’s so many things

Susan Davis is the director of student success at Early College of Arvada. SHANNA FORTIER that these kids can do. And community college is the affordable thing for most of the kids. We really want kids to seek post-secondary education and I think we all have to shift in how we think about what makes a kid

Outside academics We’ve done some violence prevention with students and worked with the senior young ladies leaving for college. We were able to do some empowerment and prepare them to be safe. Alongside of that, we had a staff member talk to the boys about what it means to be safe and for all of them to make good choices, both boys and girls, and not put themselves in harms way. We’ve worked really well together as a team. Right now, our senior advisers are teaching students cooking and sewing. They will teach them how to change a tire and basic automotive skills. And the kids are so enthusiastic about it.

Serving Jeffco’s families by providing answers of a death Jeffco’s coroners are professional and dedicated

Often, it’s the coroner’s office that “conducts a person’s last medical evaluation,” said Dan Pruett, the chief deputy coroner. “We take pride in that it’s done properly.”

Some Home-Selling Advice Is No Longer Valid; Let’s Review the Literature...

On January 30th, Realtor.com published an article with the catchy headline, “That’s So 2018! The Most Outdated Home Selling Advice You Should Now Ignore.” I found it interesting to compare the author’s conclusions with my own opinions, many of which I have shared here before.

Here is the author’s list of outdated home-selling advice that should be ignored, along with my reaction to what she wrote: 1) Wait for spring to sell your house. I have written numerous times that winter can be the best time to sell a home, and it’s nice to see how other real estate writers have reached the same conclusion, albeit only recently. The writer for realtor.com made the same arguments I’ve been making for years — that there’s less competition for your home at this time of year, yet there are still a lot of active buyers.

2) Price your home high and leave room to negotiate. This, for sure, is not your best strategy in a seller’s market and even less so in a balanced market like we’re beginning to see in many areas. One agent she quoted in her article said it well: “If you’re not priced at the market, or at least very close, you’re not going to get that many people in the door to begin with. Price your property to sell.”

3) Sell your home as is. The writer said this may have been true in the nowfading seller’s market, but argues that today’s millennial buyers in particular want a home that doesn’t need any work done on it. I addressed the topic of what you should and should not do in last

2 New Listings Next Week

Debbi Hysmith has listed a 2bedroom, 2-bath condo at 5585 W. 76th Ave. for $250,000, with showings beginning next week. Meanwhile, Jim Smith has listed a 2-story home at 5055 Gladiola Way for $575,000, which will also go active next week.

Both listings will be featured in next week’s ad, and pictures and narrated video tours for both can be found before then at www.GRElistings.com.

week’s column, which you can read online at www.JimSmithColumns.com or www.GoldenREblog.com.

4) Amateur photos of your home are fine. The writer states that your smartphone pictures may have been all you needed during the seller’s market, but that you now need to invest in professional pictures. When it comes to high quality images, Golden Real Estate, throughout the seller’s market, used magazinequality HDR photos on all listings, so this comment doesn’t apply to us. However, the writer also promoted 3D tours of the home such as those using Matterport equipment, but I’m not a fan. At Golden Real Estate, we believe it’s much better to produce a narrated video tour of a property. We’ve been doing narrated video tours for a decade or more and continue to be surprised how few other brokers have adopted the practice. And the Osmo camera we recently purchased makes those videos even more professional-looking. It’s equivalent to using a movie-quality Steadicam!

5) Holding an open house is a must.

The writer says open houses only serve the broker and not the seller, but I disagree. You’ll notice that almost every listing we feature in this weekly ad mentions an open house. Since we price our listings to sell, these open houses serve to magnify buyer interest in our listings.

(Indeed, the listing I closed last Friday was to a buyer who came to our open house.) Open houses also fit into our strategy of not selling listings in less than 4 days. The idea is to put a listing on the MLS on Wednesday, advertise it on Thursday (with an open house), and to advise agents and buyers who submit early offers that the seller will wait until after the open house to choose the buyer. Using this strategy, prospective buyers typically bid up the price, which is an obvious benefit to our sellers. An example is last week’s sale of my Wheat Ridge listing for $561,000, which sold on that 4-day schedule for $36,000 over its listing price.

Holding open houses also fits into our thinking that you never know what will sell a house, so you try everything.

You Can Sell High/Buy Low and Stay in Colorado We Coloradans love where we live, and few of us would ever leave it for another place. Our climate appears to be responding less quickly than elsewhere to global climate change, which is, like it or not, yet another reason people are drawn here from other states. This steady influx of new residents necessarily raises local real estate prices.

But there are other beautiful places in Colorado which remain affordable and which are drawing metro area residents.

Last fall, a client sold their Arvada home for $385,000 and bought a bigger home on two acres in Cedaredge for only $230,500. Another friend of mine bought a 6-acre parcel with a home and two outbuildings in that same town for $270,000. If you don’t have to be in the metro area and like living in a quiet (and beautiful) rural community on the western slope, that town sounds like a great alternative.

Earlier last year, another client sold their Arvada home for $393,000 and bought a comparable home in Goodland, Kansas, for about half that price, using the net proceeds from their Arvada home to make the purchase. Now they own a home free and clear and are very happy.

It’s not Colorado, but it’s close!

I have a client who sold their Lakewood home for almost $600,000 and are

currently renting. They’re looking at lower-priced homes around the state and are ready to pounce when the right one pops up. Now that our MLS (REcolorado) serves much of Colorado, I set up a search for this client based on price per square foot under $200, and they are considering quite a few properties in nonmetro areas.

As more and more out-of-staters find the Denver metro area to be a desirable (and more climate-friendly) alternative to their current home, more and more current residents are looking to leave for greener and more affordable locales. This is a trend that is likely to increase over the coming months and years.

For years I have explained to metro area homeowners that they shouldn’t be afraid of high prices if they are buying and selling in the same market. If prices are high, they’ll probably sell high and buy high. If they’re low, they’ll sell low and buy low. (That was my experience in 2012 when I sold a home for less than I had paid for it but also bought my current home for a fraction of what it is worth now). Ideally of course, you’d like to sell in a high market and buy in a low one, something that is certainly possible for those who are willing to relocate. The good news is that you can find that lower market within Colorado.

CORONERS FROM PAGE 2

had about 1,200 death cases that they assumed jurisdiction on, Johnson said. Most of the cases they handle are medical related, versus criminal such as homicide, but the office does take care of both, Johnson said.

The deputy coroners are the information-gatherers, Pruett said. They respond to a death scene, gather any necessary evidence and write a coroner’s report. The report is then provided to Pruett, who reads it and then determines the next

steps, such as deciding if an autopsy need to be performed, for example.

The deputy coroners are also the ones who do the death notifications to the family, Johnson said. Often this is done by way of an in-person visit to the family’s home — no matter what time of day or night it is, he added.

“As coroner, I am here to advocate and be the voice of the decedent,” said Annette Cannon, who was sworn into office this January. “This team has been wonderful to work with. They’re professional and ethical, dedicated and committed. They do high-quality work.”

“We serve all the families of Jefferson County. We provide them with the answers to the cause and manner of death of their loved one.” — Gordon Johnson, senior investigator with the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office.

Where to Turn When Your Arvada Home Doesn’t Sell Arvada - If your home has just come off the market and hasn’t sold, don’t be discouraged.

The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market.

In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell?

Don’t risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a realtor, know

the right questions to ask to save you time and money.

Colorado teens celebrate diversity at conference In the wake of political and social tension, teens come together for respect, tolerance and unity

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen Teah Selkin, 18, started at Cherry Creek High as a freshman, she only knew one thing about the school — the common stereotype that Cherry Creek High School is a school for rich, white kids. As a Samoan and a firstgeneration American with a single mother, she didn’t fit the mold.

She thought that in order to fit in, she would have to make a fake persona. But by the end of her sophomore year, she had forced herself to get more involved and realized the school in Greenwood Village was anything but homogeneous.

That year, she found the Cherry Creek Diversity conference, an event designed for students to strategize on how to create a safe and welcoming learning environment across the state’s high schools and communities.

“This conference has helped me realize that in this world, there are voices that will try to tell us that certain people, certain identities don’t belong. That they aren’t valued,”

Teah Selkin and Zoe Siegel acted as conference co-chairs for the student-run diversity conference.

PHOTOS BY SHANNA FORTIER Selkin said at the 26th annual Cherry Creek Diversity Conference held Feb. 2. “But we are responsible for combating these false narratives.”

Selkin co-chaired this year’s event with Highlands Ranch student Zoe Siegal, 16.

Siegal said before joining the conference she had a difficult time expressing herself and showcasing her uniqueness.

“I used to live life feeling like I could only be myself in certain places,” she said. “I felt like I could only be Jewish at temple or only Chinese at home.”

More than 1,000 teenagers from

105 Colorado high schools and youth organizations throughout the state attended this year’s event, which was hosted by the Cherry Creek School District; organized by Youth Celebrate Diversity, a Denver-based nonprofit organization; and underwritten with a donation by RBC Wealth Management.

While most people associate the word “diversity” with ethnicity or race, the conference deals a wide range of topics, including cliques, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical and mental challenges, multicultural art and music, socioeconomic

on their own. We believe that through communication, collaboration and positive support, school environments can improve so that everyone is able to achieve, academically.”

The conference started in 1994 under the leadership of Janet Sammons, now chair of the board of directors for Youth Celebrate Diversity, when 18 schools gathered. Now the conference has grown into the largest diversity event for teenagers in Colorado.

Marcus McDavid, assistant principal at Cherry Creek High, was a member of the first diversity council.

He addressed students at this year’s conference telling them, “your voice matters — and my hope is that you walk away from today knowing that what you do matters.”

Throughout the day, student and adult participants broke out into discussion groups and workshops to address respect and diversity issues in their schools. Among the 42 workshops offered were “Left versus Right: Politics and Diversity,” focusing on providing students with skills and strategies for respectfully engaging others in political dialogue across difference.

Additional breakouts focused on religious diversity; sustaining youth activism; understanding immigrants and immigration; and youth homelessness.

Dakota Ridge High senior Jasmine Davis said last year was a hard year for her, but when she came to the conference, it was the first time she ever

felt like she was accepted, loved and understood.

This year, Davis was part of the student-run planning committee for the event and performed a spoken word piece titled, “In this body.”

“I got tired of people telling me that everything was wrong because of my identity — all my identities,” Davis said, explaining that as a bisexual, biracial woman, she is a triple minority.

“I wanted to say how angry I get every time there’s backlash about me fighting about my identities, my equality…

Every time I experience this I just want to tell them we’re all equal; we’re all beautiful; we’re all fighting for the same thing. The message is supposed to be empowerment — taking yourself from the victim to the person who fights.”

This is the first year the conference was planned solely by students.

GOLDEN GETS A LOT MORE GOLDEN

STAFF REPORT

Nearly 1,000 golden retrievers — accompanied by their humans — gathered in Golden to celebrate International Golden Retriever Day on Feb. 3. While serving as a tourism event for Golden, the gathering also brought awareness to the nonprofit, Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies, located at 15350 W. 72nd Ave. in Arvada.

The House approved a bill dealing with water conservation Jan. 28. This is the first bill Rep. Brianna Titone (D-Arvada) introduced this session and the first to pass the House.

“Water takes up a big part of the budget in most homeowners associations,” Titone said.“Our state is facing a drought so it’s critical that we are responsibly managing our water usage — especially in communities on the Front Range and in rural Colorado.”

HB19-1050 will help promote waterefficient landscaping on property subject to management by local supervisory entities. HB19-1050 passed the House on a vote of 54-19.

Even as Colorado and other western states suffer from drought and severe water shortages, members of homeowners associations, as well as residents of some metropolitan special districts, often pay exorbitant water bills to satisfy requirements in their bylaws. Bylaws can be written in such a way that makes changing them time-consuming, burdensome, and cost prohibitive for an association or district. Allowing homeowner associations and special district boards to modify their master landscaping plans will save water and lower costs.

The bill now goes to the Senate.

The House also passed two of Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp’s bills Jan. 28.

HB 19-1008 would permit more schools to apply for Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) grants for new or rebuilt Career and Technical Education (CTE) facilities. This bill would bring SHOP classes back to schools and is intended to provide opportunities for kids who want to go into alternative careers. The second bill, HB19-1044, would ensure behavioral health treatment for patients who lack the decision-making capacity at the time of admittance.

“Throughout my time at the legislature, I have made it a focus to make sure that we offer these career options for kids,” said Kraft-Tharp (D-Arvada.) “I grew up in a construction family and understand the importance of bringing these jobs to our students and making sure they have the skills to get ahead in life.”

Through HB19-1008, any CTE program approved by the Department of Education, such as agriculture, natural resources and energy, STEM, arts and design, skilled trades and technical sciences, health science, and education are careers that can request the BEST grant.

Both bills received unanimous approval by the House vote of 64-0. Both bills now go to the Senate.

Why Good Communication is the Key to Your Do you ever feel lost in translation? My youngest daughter is named Eden. She’s eight. A recent concon versation went somesome thing like this…

Me: What are you doing?

Eden: Nothing.

Me: Well, it doesn’t look like nothing. Why do you have all this stuff out?

Eden: I’m writing my invitations for my birthday party Me: OK, well, why did you say nothing?

Eden: I dunno.

Why is communicating so difficult? After all, it’s one of the first things we learn to do as infants after crawling, rolling over and eating. It’s a skill we’ve had a lot of time to master, but most of us are

really bad at it.

Communication is unavoidable.

As a business owner, no matter how large your company is, communication is a crucial factor in its success. A company where good communication is practiced tends to be very productive. For example, good communication tends to lead to:

1

Increased motivation / decreased frustration- When employees find they struggle to communicate with you or co-workers frustration can set in, causing a lack of motivation. Employees are more likely to ask for help or clarification when they fully understand a task at hand. Good communication, over time, creates a pattern of employee confidence and satisfaction with their job.

2

Increased Productivity- Clear communication with your employees enables them to better understand your wants and

Productive, well-informed employees are better able to complete tasks and objectives increasing productivity which drives the bottom-line.

Decreased MistakesPoor communication can lead to a lack of understanding the task at hand which leads to an increase in mistakes.

Fair Trade chocolates are perfect gift for Valentine’s Day ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

I

’m not a particular fan of chocolate overall, although, inexplicably, I am tempted by brownies and toffee. So I won’t be disappointed not to receive any chocolate candy for Valentine’s Day (okay, family?).

However, for those of you who will participate in the nearly $2 billion expenditure for an estimated 58 million pounds of Valentine’s chocolate this year, consider purchasing from Fair Trade and socially responsible distributors. The good news is that we can find premium Fair Trade chocolate just up the road at Chocolove in Boulder, which, as the company

notes, has the ideal climate for chocolate with its dry mountain air. (We can also find Chocolove in stores and online.)

Fair Trade is a global social initiative to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions. Fair Trade Campaigns, which bills itself as a “powerful grassroots movement,” reports that 70 percent of cocoa is produced by small-holder farmers in West Africa, primarily Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana. Indonesia, Brazil and Ecuador are also major cocoaproducing countries.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Falling short of the ideal A letter in the Jan. 17 edition called “Freedom of the Press” as something where “journalists accept to gather, confirm, reconfirm, and report on factual information that is vetted by a responsible editorial board.” I agree this was the previous American journalistic way our First Amendment created. But it no longer transpires as such to audiences. The idea that today’s press could be “held civilly liable for inaccuracies and criminally responsible for willful untruths,” and that “they do not deal in opinions,” was proven wholly erroneous during the Dr. King weekend with the Catholic schoolboy story. As most of our national media offered opinions,

Why is our national news media today agenda driven? They do not wait for confirmations or official statements, treating them as unnecessary for the sake of expediency. News outlets all enticed to rush to similar judgments epitomizes these heresies.

Gary Scofield, Arvada SEE LETTERS, P18

The organization notes that less than five percent of the world’s cocoa is produced according to Fair Trade standards, which bar child labor – there are an estimated 2.1 million child laborers on cocoa farms – and prohibit certain harmful chemicals. Fair Trade standards also help provide a framework for environmental sustainability by helping farmers invest in the future of their farms and communities.

Rub elbows and ideas with worthy peers

s iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens another …

Proverbs 27 I am working through a really remarkable book right now. Or, to be more precise, I am HITTING working through HOME a very good book right now about a remarkable group of friends who dubbed themselves “The Inklings.” You may have heard of a couple of them: they included Charles Williams, Michael Alcorn Owen Barfield, Warner Lewis, and a couple fellows named J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.

These friends worked together at Oxford for a period in the 1920s and 30s, and met regularly in some form or another for decades after that. They were linguists, and historians, a lawyer, scholars and poets. But, above all else, they were writers, who would meet together to work on ideas, thoughts, and their writing.

They would regularly grace each other with early drafts of what they were working on, and sit for hours giving each other feedback — often, brutally honest feedback.

And it wasn’t all congenial or like-minded. For a time, Lewis

and Barfield carried on a debate that the others dubbed “The Great War”. Keep in mind that these men had all served in or around World War I, so for them to grant to an intellectual debate the moniker “Great War,” it must have truly been a wild argument.

But, through this great friendship, these men produced some of the most interesting and lasting fiction of the 20th century. The works of Williams and Barfield are mostly relegated to the halls of academia, but, of course, “The Chronicles of Narnia” and “The Lord of the Rings” are among the most beloved and well-known works of fantasy the world has ever known.

As an aside, can you imagine how extraordinary it would have been to have been present the first time Tolkien — before he was Tolkien — started to read excerpts from “The Hobbit” to C.S. Lewis — before he was C.S. Lewis! I have a handful of historical moments that I would love to go back and be present for.

That meeting is now at the top of that list!

At any rate, it was through their critiques, and their challenging of each other, and their extraordinary friendships, that

DORAY FROM PAGE 12

The Fair Trade movement is certainly not without its detractors, but companies such as Chocolove have found that their customers request such ethical sourcing.

In fact, Nielson reports that 51 percent of specialty chocolate sales in 2017 came from products categorized as “clean labeled” with all-natural or non-GMO ingredients. Additionally, sales of chocolates that make claims about sustainability rose more than eight percent last year.

Beyond Fair Trade, of course, is simple social responsibility.

For example, Chocolove endeavors “to see that all people who work in the supply chain of Chocolove are ethically treated, properly compensated and have the opportunity to advance in life…”

Other distributors such as Green & Black’s commit to ethical sourcing standards based on International Labour Organisation Conventions and the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

The founder of Theo Chocolate recognized exploitation of the land and the people farming there, and now works to cham-

pion both.

Divine Chocolate says it’s the only Fair Trade chocolate company in the world that is co-owned by cocoa farmers, and notes that every bar funds projects that include women’s literacy, model farm programs and community building.

I wish I could advise you on which of these chocolate treats to try, but I really haven’t tasted them. Just a note, though: I’ve gifted Chocolove before, partly because of their cool packaging that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you’re like me, we don’t often stop to consider where our food comes from, but with more than 55 percent of us planning to purchase candy or chocolates for Valentine’s Day, it’s nice to know that we have options … options that, in addition to delighting the receivers, might just help other people halfway around the world.

By the way, those (sustainably produced) chocolate-dipped strawberries are on par with brownies and toffee … okay, family?

ALCORN FROM PAGE 12

these men pushed each other to become who they became and to create what they did. The giant intellects sharpened and polished the giant works of imaginations of the men in that room.

Everybody needs people like that in their lives. I believe that there is truth in the throwaway line from the needlessly violent movie “Man on Fire,” that “every man is an artist in their own way.” Some with food, some with words, some with music, some with their teaching, some with how they perform athletically. To do anything at a high level is to touch on the ability to be creative and to operate on an instinctive level. In other words, to be artistic.

But, I also believe it is true that, to ever touch on that level, one needs people around who challenge them, who push them, who disagree with them, and who see things just a little bit differently than they do.

It’s part of what worries me so much about our current culture, and, in particular, the culture around our institutions of higher learning. They are becoming echo chambers, afraid to let contrary opinions be expressed, and so terrified of being proved wrong that they would rather insulate themselves from any countervailing thoughts that they become rigid and dogmatic. And that, at a time when their clientele should be exposed to every thought, and challenged to defend every opinion.

If you have a group of friends who challenges you, who are your equals or betters, and whom you trust to be forthright, consider yourself blessed.

You will be better for it. And if you don’t, seek out a group like that. It will be worth the effort.

It is that humanity the Arvada Center aims to celebrate with its first production of 2019 — “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

“This is a story about people living in a crazy situation and the humanity they held on to,” said Darrow Klein, COMING plays Anne ATTRACTIONS who in the production.

“It’s a show people will go home and keep thinking about.”

“The Diary of Anne Frank” runs at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through May 17.

Performances Clarke Reader are at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays, 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Based on Wendy Kesselman’s 1997 adaptation of the 1955 Hollywood script, the show details 13-year-old Anne’s experiences hiding from the Nazis for two years in an attic with her family in occupied Amsterdam.

All of which she wrote about in her diary, which is one of the most important documents in human history.

“People shouldn’t come expecting it to be a lecture or all about the message. What’s important is that these people could be any of us,” said Larry Cahn, who plays Anne’s father, Otto Frank. “There’s a universality to this story and it’s an honor to play these people. It’s one I want to get exactly right.”

The actors and crew did research through books and documentaries and even spoke to a survivor, all to understand the times and people in the story. But all the preparation and rehearsals left out one crucial element — the audience.

“The show is an immersive experience that you get to share with other people,” said Emily Paton Davies, who plays Anne’s mother, Edith Frank. “With the stage set up, the audience is right there — you can actually see each other’s reactions to what’s happening. Which helps to foster the positive human connection this show is really about.”

If you’re a Denver-area old-timer, you might remember dialing 303-8444444 to hear the phone company’s time-and-temp line (though you probably didn’t dial the area code back then).

The line is back in service these days, thanks to John Lochridge, a Texas telecom worker. Since 2011, Lochridge has been steadily buying up and reinstating old timeand-temperature lines around the country. He’s up to several hundred numbers, spread among nearly every state. Lochridge’s Denver line gets about a thousand calls a month, he said.

His music is a groovy ray of light that is practically scientifically designed to be played in a car with the windows down.

Survey measures homelessness in Arvada Point in Time survey occurs nationwide the last 10 days in January

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The day shelter at The Rising Church in Olde Town Arvada was buzzing the afternoon of Jan. 29 with men and women seeking showers, a meal and a place to shelter from the freezing temperatures.

The scene is typical for the church, which provides services for people experiencing homelessness in Arvada.

About 50 people a day visit the space.

But what was special about that day, was the Point in Time survey.

In Jefferson County, 577 people were recorded living in a homeless situation. That’s almost 200 more people than the 2017 count recorded.

However, those that work with homeless populations believe that the 2018 count was actually low because of the warm temperatures.

This year, the metro area saw below freezing temperatures triggering the Severe Weather Shelter Network to be activated and around 30 single men and women sheltering the night of the count at Arvada Vinyard, one of three host churches for the network in Arvada.

“The whole thing seems a lot smoother than previous years,” Denver metro Stephen Byers, pasarea Point in tor of the The Rising Time survey Church, said about the reports for previous years Point in Time survey. are available “My guess is they will at Everyone- not count all of them, counts.mdhi. but they will get a good number.” org At the day shelter run at the church, Byers sees a lot of new faces each week. But he says it’s not so much that the number of people experiencing homelessness is going up, but that they are seeing turnover.

“We do see more homeless working and because they are working, they are getting themselves motels on cold nights,” Byers said. “We do see people getting off the streets and we do see people getting some help.”

One of those people is Devin Ramsey, 26, who has experiences homelessness off and on for the past six years.

“Everyone has a different story,” Ramsey said. “Homelessness isn’t just drugs. It isn’t just drinking. It isn’t just mental health. It’s literally not having a place.

“My own story is a little bit of drinking, a little bit of mental health, a little bit of just not having a lot of responsibility growing up.”

Ramsey currently has a job and

“It’s very difficult to go from surviving to living,” he said. “I’m very much still in survival mode. I’m in a better place than I was a few years ago. And in a few years, I’m sure I’ll be in a better place than I am now.”

Ramsey said that getting himself out of homelessness is a process, and “not just a snap of your fingers.”

“It’s hard work and it’s much harder than people can imagine,” he said.

Ramsey said it was important for him to come to The Rising for the count because of the lack of resources available to people experiencing homelessness in Jefferson County.

“My experience with homeless resources has been there are a lot of resources for specific groups and people, but I have never fit criteria for those,” Ramsey said. “I don’t think Arvada and Jefferson County has really taken into account what the population really looks like and how little resource there actually are.”

For the annual survey, The Rising partnered with the Arvada Library, which is located across the street to provide additional services, food and bus passes to those who participated.

Annual survey of homeless done over a snowy 24 hours

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Every year in January, volunteers from churches, human services departments, nonprofits and law enforcement fan out into communities across the Denver metro area, and the nation conduct a point-in-time (PIT) survey of their area’s homeless population.

For a 24-hour period, these volun-

teers visit shelters, human service offices and the streets to find and interview as many homeless individuals as possible. The standardized survey form, available in mobile phone app form this year, covers basic demographic information, but also tries to get to the factors behind someone’s experience with homelessness.

Community and police team up to ‘make a difference in someone’s life’ Wheat Ridge Police Department involved with PIT for third year

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In Wheat Ridge, 16 people — from sundown on Jan. 28 to sundown on Jan. 29 — perused the community to conduct an annual Point in Time survey.

“It’s important to have an accurate count of what homelessness looks like in our community,” said Sgt. Jamie Watson, “so we can more effectively serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness.”

While the Wheat Ridge Police Department has always had some involvement with the survey, Watson said, this is the third year for it to be

SURVEY FROM PAGE 16

The survey subjects were asked about if they had mental health concerns, if they used drugs or if they were fleeing domestic violence.

In 2018, Metro Denver counted 5,317 total people experiencing homelessness, with 1,308 of those people counted staying outside in places like tents, vehicles, parks or underpasses.

The 2018 survey identified 577 homeless in Jefferson County. More than half were parents with at least one child in their care.

The results from this year’s survey won’t be available for a few months.

The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development requires communities that receive grants and federal funding to conduct the PIT survey, to help gather comparative data of the entire nation.

“All that information has a local impact as well,” said Linda Barringer, the county coordinator for the survey.

She said area agencies and nonprofits all use the survey data for grant writing and planning purposes.

Some 52 volunteers helped conduct

involved at this level.

For the past three years, Watson led the effort to organize volunteers to conduct the survey and hand out sack lunches and socks to the people experiencing homelessness that they encounter.

“To me, it’s a great opportunity for our officers and community members to team up and help make a difference in someone’s life,” Watson said.

It’s important to be involved with the community, and the Wheat Ridge Police Department offers a lot of volunteer opportunities for its employees, said Amanda Schweda and Jen Clay who both are records management specialists for the Wheat Ridge Police Department.

“I like the camaraderie you get from doing these types of volunteer activities with your coworkers,” Clay said.

“And any time you can lend a helping hand, it’s for the better good.”

Schweda agreed. this year’s survey in Jeffco, Barringer said.

By its nature, the homeless survey only acts as an incomplete snapshot of what the homeless population looks like on one night. To make the survey more accurate, many communities, including Jeffco, hold magnet events, offering shelter, food and supplies to those living on the streets, to hopefully gather more of them in specific locations. There were more than a dozen such magnet events across the metro area, according to the Metro Denver Housing Initiative, which organizes the survey for the area.

One factor that has a large effect on how many homeless come to shelters, and as such how many are counted in the survey results is weather. Last year’s count was on a mild night, especially compared to this year’s weather where temperatures were below freezing and it was snowing.

“If nothing else, I’m glad we were able to get some people out of the cold for a little bit,” Barringer said, about the magnet event at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Lakewood, where a chicken dinner, and ARC-donated clothing were available.

“Especially working on the police side,” Schweda said. Volunteering “makes things more personable for the community and provides a face for the department. There needs to be more of the positive interaction with the community, and this is a great way to accomplish that.”

Seven police department volunteers were trained to conduct the survey and they were paired with an officer on Jan. 28 to conduct the survey that evening.

Wheat Ridge police officers typically encounter people experiencing homelessness daily, but it was “tough go trying to find people” on Jan. 28, said Officer Brian Gross, one of the officers participating in the PIT survey. He believed this was partly because of the cold weather that night, and guessed that most had found shelter somewhere other than the streets.

However, Gross and his PIT volun-

“Having that freedom to just participate in what is happening in the space makes it the perfect location

teer did encounter two people who accepted the sack lunch and participated in the survey, he said.

“We do care about the populations we serve,” Gross said. “This is just the tip of the iceberg of being able to help the homeless population, rather than just telling them to move along.”

Earlier that day, Watson; Judy Maxfield, a Jeffco resident who is retired and has been volunteering with the Wheat Ridge Police Department since 2014; Schweda; and Clay spent part of the afternoon making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to pack in the sack lunches along with an orange and other snacks.

“You’ve gotta give back to your community,” Maxfield said. And “I enjoy working with the people who are experiencing homelessness because you learn a lot. Homelessness is not just about not wanting to work — it’s about surviving an unfortunate event in their life.” for a service like this.”

Reading said hosting an event during the Point in Time count also allows staff to build relationships with people who are at the library on a regular basis that might not normally engage in conversation.

The partnership between The Rising and the library was one of many throughout the county to ensure a more accurate count of people experiencing homelessness.

Missed a march In your Jan. 24, edition of the Arvada Press, you have a nicely written 2-page spread on the Jan. 19 Womxn’s March. I appreciated reading about this, but it does make me wonder why there is no mention in the paper of another women’s march that was held on Jan. 12, which is of equal importance and interest to women.

The annual Celebrate Life March was held at the state capital and attended by thousands of women and men who came to express their respect for the most fundamental right — the right to life. Two different marches, two different perspectives, but both very important to women and men alike.

In all fairness to your readers, it would be nice to see the Arvada Press report on both perspectives. Coverage of the Celebrate Life March can be read at Denvercatholic.org.

Thank you for hearing my concern.

Linda Engel, Arvada Say no to trash monopoly At first glance the idea of one truck per area sounds enticing. However, it is competition that causes price reductions, not a monopoly. We have some small providers that do an excellent job at a fair price. I would not like to see them put out of business by the creation of a monopoly. We all know what happens when govern-

Free enterprise is the stuff our country was built on. Why should be put the brakes on “free enterprise.”

What happens if you are unhappy with your trash collector? You would have no where to go for a change of provider.

Adding another layer of socialism to our city is not the way for the future. Was everyone happy with AT&T when it was the only provider of phone service? Hardly!

Perhaps there is a better way to go here, suggestions!

William F Hineser, Arvada Against the sex ed bill Colorado House Bill 19-1032 on human sexuality must never become law. Arvada citizens should be contacting their representatives and senators imploring them to vote against it.

The bill moves sex education from the realm of natural biological factors to sociological indoctrination.

From the fourth grade, it requires teaching lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender relational sexuality as normative, equal to heterosexual relationships.

It forbids religious or sectarian based sex education. That alone could force heterosexuality and heterosexual relationships within marriage out of the course of sex education because, even though heterosexuality has been the norm for millennia, it could be attacked as religiously

based.

1032 not only precludes “abstinence only” sex education, but requires abstinence sex education not be the “…primary or sole acceptable preventive method available to students.”

This restricts the ability of schools to choose their own sex education content. Schools have a choice not to teach any sex education, but if they do, they must meet the requirements of this social engineering bill. There are no other options.

HB19-1032 also requires abortion to be taught on the same plane as choosing life.

With what will we be filling the minds and mores of our children?

The end of the bill has a safety clause: “The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.”

Indeed, for the safety, health and peace of our children, HB19-1032 must be defeated.

Jim Morgan, Arvada What about the other side Andrea Doray’s piece in the Jan. 24 edition sounds like she’s stumping for office for the Democrat party.

She goes on about current or past elected or appointed officials spending hundred of thousands of dollars on personal travel flying on United States Air Force planes. She targets Pence, Price and Pruitt. Damn those Republicans. She conveniently omits

naming Democrats that also abused personal travel. Democrat Leon Panetta (Sec of Defense Under Obama) racked up over $800,000 in personal travel expenses flying home to California each weekend and stated that he had no intention of stopping the flights. Democrat Eric Holder (Attorney General under Obama) took 31 personal vacation trips in Air Force planes and ran up a tab of $697,525.20 over four years, Joe Biden (Vice President under Obama) flew in Air Force II to his niece’s wedding. Joe had a full complement of armored vehicles, Secret Service personnel and pilots for a few hour event, (Syracuse. co, 6-24-14).

Doray states that she is willing to contribute to special programs, research, environmental issues, roads and bridges and other ethical governmental programs. Please don’t leave the readers hanging, name a few of those ethical programs. Could they be: late term abortions, higher taxes, supervised injection sites for illegal heroin/ cocaine/ meth users and give away programs, e.g., cell phones, etc.

Finally, she writes “there are also even legitimate government expenses that I don’t want my taxes to fund.” What does this even mean? Does this include the United States Military, NASA, Police Departments and Prisons. Let’s not forget Border Security.

I know, I took everything out of context.

Standley Lake Library and Arvada Fire partner for community knitting challenge The drive runs Feb. 10 to March 10 STAFF REPORT

Jefferson County Standley Lake Library’s Yarn and Needle Arts Group is inviting the community to join in a knitting challenge to assist the Arvada Fire Department by contributing items for those in need. People can participate by making or donating knitted newborn beanies, blankets, stuffed animals, mittens, hats and scarves, and animals, or the supplies to make them.

Items can be dropped off at the Standley Lake Library from Feb. 10 to March 10. Arvada Fire will be doing a ceremonial pickup of collected items on Thursday, March 7, during the Yarn and Needle

Arts group’s monthly meeting at Standley Lake Library. Desired yarn types include chenille and baby soft. Gentle materials like fleece and flannel are also needed for constructing baby hats.

Arvada Fire Battalion Chief Deanna Harrington says there is always a need for knitted materials, particularly during the winter.

“As you can imagine, the fire department handles a wide variety of situations,” Harrington said. “Our rigs always carry a supply of knitted items like hats, blankets and mittens so that we have them at the ready when an emergency arises.”

Harrington said that in the past, the department has purchased beanies for babies they have helped deliver or transport to the hospital following a home birth.

“The library’s Yarn and Needle Art’s

group is so happy to be partnering with the Arvada Fire Department,” said group coordinator Neila Achter. “We look forward to promoting and fulfilling this community need. We appreciate the library for being a vehicle to make it happen and we appreciate the members of the public who join us in this effort.”

Standley Lake Library’s Yarn and Needle Arts group began in 2014 and meets on the first Thursday of each month from 5:30-8 p.m.. The informal group is composed of all skill levels and works under the guidance of Achter. Its most recent major community-knitting event was in 2018 when the public joined group members in creating baby knits for Warm Hearts, Warm Babies, an Arvada-based charity. In 2016, it supported the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center in Lakewood by making or collecting over 120 chemo caps.

RTD partners with Uber for trip planning STAFF REPORT

A partnership announced Jan. 31 between the Regional Transportation District and the mobility platform Uber allows Denver riders to see and consider transit routes presented in the Uber app.

Establishing partnerships with providers such as Uber enables the transit agency to best meet the needs, demands and expectations of a growing population at a time when the industry is in a state of change, Dave Genova, RTD CEO and general manager, said in a news release.

“Our customers want their trips to be as seamless as possible, and a collaboration like this one allows them to plan for travel from end to end, including additional first mile and last mile options,” Genova said in the release.

“RTD is pleased to work with Uber as we present riders with additional,

complementary options to most efficiently reach their destination.”

To access transit information within the app, riders enter a destination and select the “transit” option to see available transit routes, real-time schedules, and walking directions to and from transit stations.

No. 1 Pomona putting the pieces together Unfortunately, she knows knee woes

ARVADA — Claiming the Class 5A Jeffco League wrestling title has been a regular occurrence for Pomona over the past 15 years.

The Panthers won nine straight conference crowns from 2005-2013.

Pomona wrapped up its fourth league title Jan. 31 at Arvada West High School. The Panthers defeated rival A-West 60-22 to flex their dominance in 5A Jeffco.

“You always want to win this dual because you never want to lose to your rival,” said Pomona freshman Roman Cruz, who pinned Arvada West’s Anthony Stack in the third pe-

riod to take the victory at 160 pounds.

“It’s my first year in high school, but I’m pretty excited from watching these teams wrestle since I was six.”

A-West actually prevented Pomona for even a longer league title streak.

The Wildcats took back-to-back conference crowns in 2014 and 2015.

Pomona reeled off six straight wins to start the dual against A-West with Daniel Cardenas (126), Kenny Perez (132), Brandon Taylor (138), Gage Bernall (152) and Cruz (160) all picking up victories by fall or technical fall.

Senior Theorius Robison (145) took a win by forfeit with the Wildcats not having a wrestler at his weight class.

Robison has dealt with injuries on the football field and wrestling mat this

season. He is attempting to enter the select group of becoming a four-time individual state champ.

Only 21 Colorado wrestlers has accomplished that feat and he would becoming the first Pomona wrestler to do it.

The Panthers have been No. 1 in Tim Yount’s On the Mat rankings all season with some solid returning talent and a handful of promising freshmen. However, injuries has prevented Pomona from being a full-strength.

“We are doing good as a team, but we are still missing some pieces,” Cruz said.

Standout Performers Maddy Hubych, Lakewood High School The six-foot senior helped lift the Tigers over Jeffco foes Columbine, with a 21-point and 12 rebound performance on Feb. 2. Lakewood came away with the 52-49 league win.

Darius Padilla, Green Mountain The sophomore put in some work during a physical win against D’Evelyn, 56-43 on Jan. 30. Padilla had 10 points on the night with only two field goals, thanks to multiple trips to the charity stripe. He also pitched in 9 rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Ben Mclaughlin, Golden The Golden boys suffered a tough road loss 59-54 against league foes Evergreen on Feb 2. Mclaughlin, a junior, helped keep the Demons in the game with his trio of three pointers. He ended the game with 10 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

Jasmine Morales, Arvada The junior was her team’s lead scorer in a thrilling triple-overtime loss versus Englewood on Feb. 1.

She had 13 points and 11 rebounds in the eventual 43-38 loss.

nybody who needs to know how to handle frustration should talk with Valor Christian sophomore Kindyll Wetta. The 5-foot-9 point guard had to overcome adversity last season and has been frustrated again this season.

I recently resumed bowling after three decades and get aggravated each OVERTIME time I have a pocket hit and stick a 10pin. However, that is nothing compared to the frustrations that Wetta has faced.

Her freshman season was curtailed on Jan. 9, 2018 Jim Benton when she suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus on her left knee. Then after an impressive comeback this season, she tore the ACL on her right knee on December 19, 2018 less than a year after the first injury.

Wetta, who has committed to play basketball at the University of Colorado where her mother Val (Johnson) Wetta played for two seasons, has once again seen her role change this season from being a standout player to leading cheers on the bench.

“It’s definitely hard watching all your teammates play without you and you can’t even run,” she said. “It was a lot harder the first time that it happened. This time around it is a lot easier because I’ve been through it.

I’ve got used to cheering on the team.

“I know ACL tears are more common for girls than guys. My dad (Rob) had an ACL tear and my mom tore both of hers. I don’t know if it necessarily is passed down to have weak knees in my genes or whatever. I had never even thought about it before my first one.”

Support from family and friends is helping Wetta’s recoveries.

“There were so many times when I would just recline and ‘why did this happen to me,’” she admitted. “When I’m going through this there are times when it doesn’t seem like I’m going through it and I’m going to wake up.

“My dad sends me a whole bunch of quotes on Twitter and they are motivational quotes. He’s a huge part of how I get through this. He constantly reminds me of what I’m working towards, my goals and everything I want.

“Instead of something that sets me back, it is going to be something that helps me get stronger,” Wetta continued. “I can work on my arm muscles, my touch, I can work on my shooting.

He turns it into a very positive thing.

That really helps.”

Wheat Ridge boys closing in on first league title since 2007 Farmer Fab Five striking the right chord

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — The five starters for Wheat Ridge’s boys basketball team has earned a nickname.

How does — Farmers Fab Five — sound?

Seniors Julian Claussen, Blair McVicker, Zeke Van Tuyl, along with juniors Dominic Bronk and Alex Morales have brought the right mix of talent this season. Nearly all five are averaging double-digit points and have the Farmers in position to win their first conference title in 12 years.

“They are just so unselfish, sometimes to our demise. They will overpass trying to get someone else the shot,” Wheat Ridge coach Tommy Dowd said of the Farmers Fab Five.

“They just play well together and it’s a nice blend of kids. They like to play and get after it.”

Wheat Ridge’s 76-49 road victory Feb. 2 against Littleton pushed the Farmers’ winning streak to six games and extended their lead in the Class 4A Jeffco League to two games over rival Golden.

The Demons (10-9, 6-2 in league) lost to Evergreen on Saturday, giving the Farmers (16-3, 8-0) a bit of a cushion with four conference games remaining. Despite having a little more margin of error, Wheat Ridge would love to complete a 12-0 league record.

“We should run it,” said Bronk of the final conference stretch. “To win a league title for the first time in 11 years would be fun.”

Wheat Ridge — No. 10 in the Class 4A boys basketball CHSAANow.com rankings — claimed its last conference crown back in 2007, winning the Jeffco 11 League when the Farmers were in the 5A classification.

“We’ll just use the old adage ‘one game at a time,’” said Dowd, who has headed the Farmers’ basketball program of more than two decades. “We know what lies ahead. We aren’t afraid to talk about it or say it. We are trying to make it fun, put it out there and go get it.”

POMONA FROM PAGE 22

A new piece for the Panthers this season was featured in the closest match of the night against A-West.

Freshman Elijah Olguin faced AWest senior Mitchell Romero in the 106-pound match. Olguin is ranked No. 2 and Romero came in No. 3.

“It was a good match,” Olguin said after his 6-0 victory. “I did start off a little slow. I just have to work off the whistle quicker, but for the most part I felt good. There was high energy.”

Olguin was consistent scoring two points in each period. It was first meeting of the season between Olguin and Romero, who just missed placing at state last season.

Wheat Ridge’s sixth straight victory put the Farmers two games up on rival Golden for the Class 4A Jeffco League title with four conference games remaining.

The Farmers got the road victory Saturday afternoon thanks to a dominating effort in the third quarter.

Wheat Ridge led by a dozen points at halftime, but really got some separation scoring 28 points in the third quarter.

“We wanted to turn it up on defense and turn that into offense, share the ball on the (fast) break and get some buckets,” McVicker said of the third quarter. “We have a lot of guys who can score so its tough to cover once we all get going.”

Van Tuyl — Wheat Ridge’s 6-foot-10 big man — scored six points in the paint in the opening two minutes of the quarter. Bronk and McVicker combined for 17 points in the third quarter.

Claussen finished it off in fashion with a 3-pointer in the closing seconds to put the Farmers up 60-36 heading to the final quarter.

“We are a great passing team,” said Bronk, who finished with a game-high 18 points. “We get the ball to everybody.”

McVicker (16 points), Van Tuyl (11 points) and Morales (11 points) all fin-

ished in double digits. Morales poured in nine points in the first quarter hitting a trio of 3-pointer in the same corner in front of Littleton’s bench.

“At least two or three guys really going each night for us. We just have that type of team,” said McVicker, Wheat Ridge’s point guard. “I just like to find people and get them the ball where they like to score.”

Wheat Ridge wraps up its string of six straight road games next week.

The Farmers face Standley Lake (Feb. 6) and D’Evelyn (Feb. 8) before finally returning to The Barn to finish the regular season against Evergreen (Feb. 12) and Golden (Feb. 14). All games are scheduled for 7 p.m. starts.

“It’s a good test,” Dowd said of the 6-game string of road games. “I’ve told them in the playoffs you could play them all on the road. We are well-tested and played some good teams on the road.”

“I just go through the same mindset as another other match,” Olguin said of facing another highly ranked wrestler. “You just have to stay composed. For me, I just stay focused on my technique and keeping my moves tight.”

A-West did take four individual wins during its senior night. Mike Kacay (170), Elijah Olson (195) and Justin Lepke (285) got victories at the heavier weights. Junior Dylan Kruse (113) got an impressive 13-1 victory over Pomona’s Jacob Judd.

“Going in I always have the mindset that I can beat anybody. I can’t be scare of anybody,” said Kruse, who is ranked No. 4 at 113 pounds. “I try not to look at what a kid has done or who he has beat. So far this season that has been working out for me.”

Kruse comes into the final few

weeks before regionals (Feb. 15-16) and state (Feb. 21-23) with confidence after placing sixth at 113 pounds down at Pepsi Center. He also knows what needs to be done to make it higher on the podium.

“There is definitely a little more work I can get done,” Kruse said. “I need to get my stamina where I need it to be. I need to be out here running every day. I plan on using these next three weeks on getting that done and getting where I need to be.”

A-West and Pomona both travel to Grand Junction for the 5A Region 1 tournament at Fruita-Monument High School in two weeks.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Some unsettling facts about a past situation could come to light. And while you’d love to deal with it immediately, it’s best to get more information to support your case.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A straightforward approach to a baffling situation is best. Don’t allow yourself to be drawn into an already messy mass of tangles and lies. Deal with it and move on.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t be discouraged or deterred by a colleague’s negative opinion about your ideas. It could actually prove to be helpful when you get around to finalizing your plan.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Ignore that sudden attack of “modesty,” and step up to claim the credit you’ve so rightly earned. Remember: A lot of people are proud of you and want to share in your achievement.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A financial “deal” that seems to be just right for you Leos and Leonas could be grounded more in gossamer than substance. Get an expert’s advice to help you check it out.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Don’t ignore that suddenly cool or even rude attitude from someone close to you. Asking for an explanation could reveal a misunderstanding you were completely unaware of.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Unless you have sound knowledge, and not just an opinion, it’s best not to step into a family dispute involving a legal matter, regardless of whom you support. Leave that to the lawyers.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An awkward situation presents the usually socially savvy Scorpian with a problem. But a courteous and considerate approach soon helps clear the air and ease communication.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A calmer, less-tense atmosphere prevails through much of the week, allowing you to restore your energy levels before tackling a new challenge coming up by week’s end.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your approach to helping with a friend or family member’s problem could boomerang unless you take time to explain your method and how and why it (usually!) works.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Someone who gave you a lot of grief might ask for a chance for the two of you to make a fresh start. You need to weigh the sincerity of the request carefully before giving your answer.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Too much fantasizing about an upcoming decision could affect your judgment. Better to make your choices based on what you know now rather than on what you might learn later.

Skip the will power — it’s Girl Scout Cookie time Much-anticipated yearly sweets sales run through March 10

ages. The two expect that they’ll do some door-to-door sales together and For more information on Girl Scout booth sales with Cookie sales, visit their individual www.girlscoutsof- troops.

“I like talking to colorado.org. people, and I like trying to get people to buy the cookies,” Camryn Petitt said. “And I like planning what to do with the money.”

For the past few years, 15-year-old Makayla Kinard of Arvada has come close to meeting her goal of 2,000 boxes.

“This year,” she said, “I’m going to hit that goal.”

Kinard has been a Girl Scout for nine years and will use this year’s cookie money to attend Girl Scout Camp, as well as use a portion of it to fund her Gold Award project — she hopes to host her inaugural golf tournament, which become an annual event, this summer to benefit people who have Type 1 diabetes.

Rhianna Dains, 14, of Westminster has been a Girl Scout for 10 years and she and her troop of eight will be using their cookie sales money to pay for a troop trip to the Bahamas to scubadive.

It started last year when the girls in the troop decided they wanted to get scuba certified, Dains said. They did that, she said, and now they’re saving for the diving trip in the Bahamas in 2020.

Cookie sales “is a fun experience for the whole troop because it’s something we can all get involved with,” Dains said. “We’re a team, and our troop can accomplish it together.”

The Petitt sisters, Camryn, 10, front, and Reagan 13, both Girl Scouts in Highlands Ranch, expect they will be doing some doorto-door cookie sales together and booth cookie sales with their troops.

Girl Scout Cookies went on sale on Feb. 3 and will continue through March 10.

HOW TO GET COOKIES

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From saving for an island vacation to purchasing new uniforms, Girl Scouts have big plans for their cookie sales money.

“Girl Scouts is all about being girlled,” said Darby Petitt of Highlands Ranch, a troop leader for nine years who has two daughters in Girl Scouts.

“It’s always fun to see how and what they choose their Girl Scout experience to look like.”

The Girl Scout Cookies Program helps girls develop five lifelong skills — goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

“Girl Scout Cookie time is all about teaching girls lifelong business skills,” said Stephanie Foote, president and CEO of Girl Scouts of Colorado, in a press release. “The proceeds from these girl-led businesses go to fund all the adventures you get to have as a Girl Scout.”

Reagan Petitt, 13, has been a Girl Scout for nine years. She enjoys cookie sales because she gets to meet new people, but also because it teaches her self-confidence, to accept the answer no when people don’t want to buy cookies and to set goals for herself.

She and her sister Camryn Petitt, 10, who has been a Girl Scout for six years, each have a goal to sell 350 pack-

Want cookies? Here’s how …

Girl Scouts across Colorado will be selling cookies from Feb. 3 to March 10.

Girl Scouts will be going door-todoor, but consumers can also purchase cookies from booths set up in front of major retail and grocery stores. The Cookie Locator, online or mobile app, can help people find local booth sales locations. Sales can also be done online through the Digital Cookie, but to purchase cookies online, you need an invite to shop on a Girl Scout’s personal Digital Cookie website.

This year’s selection of cookies is Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Do-Si-Dos, Savannah Smiles and a limited quantity of S’mores and Toffee-tastics.

All Girl Scout cookies contain zero

grams of trans fat per serving, Thin Mints are vegan, Do-Si-Dos and Trefoils have no hydrogenated oils and Toffee-tastics are gluten-free. More information about Girl Scout Cookie ingredients can be found at www. littlebrownie.com.

S’mores and Toffee-tastic sell for $5 a package and all other varieties cost $4 a package.

Consumers can also purchase a package of cookies to donate to the individual Girl Scouts troops’ hometown hero. Each Girl Scout troop chooses a hometown hero — any local nonprofit organization or uniformed personnel — to honor by donating packages of Girl Scout cookies. The troops choose their hometown hero prior to cookie sales beginning, so to participate, remember to ask about the Hometown Heroes/Gift of Caring program.
