Election security overseen by bipartisan teams Arapahoe County official provides insight into ballot-processing protocol

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not many elements of American politics are bipartisan anymore, but vote counting in Arapahoe County is.

Two-person teams, consisting of one Republican and one Democrat, are tasked with collecting and opening ballots, said Marissa Chamberlain, Arapahoe County’s deputy director of elections. Bipartisan teams are also responsible for making judgment calls on ballots when a voter fills out a ballot incorrectly.

Ahead of the Nov. 5 election, Chamberlain explained the votecounting process in a tour of the county election facility, near Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue in Littleton. Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez was scheduled to lead the Oct. 29 tour, but had to attend a rescheduled meeting, Chamberlain said.

Ballot security is a top priority, Chamberlain said.

“Every ballot box is sealed, with a signed chain of custody,” Chamberlain said. “I’ve never seen a seal that didn’t match up.”

While the majority of Arapahoe County’s ballots come in through 24hour drop boxes, those that are sent through the mail will be picked up by teams who travel to the U.S. Postal Service’s sorting facility in Commerce City, Chamberlain said.

Once ballots arrive, they undergo machine scanning that compares the signatures on the envelope to a

county database culled from previous ballots and public records.

“We have the machine’s tolerance set pretty high,” Chamberlain said.

“It typically only accepts about half of the signatures it encounters.”

The rest are checked by hand, Chamberlain said. Voters whose signatures can’t be verified will get a letter and email asking them to “cure” their ballot, requiring them to verify their identity with a copy of a photo ID. Voters have up to eight days after the election to fix their ballots.

Ballots are then opened by bipartisan teams and go on to computer scanners on a secure network that has no connection to the internet, Chamberlain said. Votes are accumulated on a server in a secure room with limited access and no connection to the outside world.

Ballots where the voter’s intent isn’t immediately clear, such as when someone crossed out one vote and

Doug Cohn, a temporary employee, opens ballots at Arapahoe County’s election facility on Oct. 29. wrote in another, or ballots with unclear marks, are “adjudicated” by bipartisan teams with oversight from supervisors, Chamberlain said.

Voters who are still wary about the security or legitimacy of vote counting can sign up to be “poll watchers,” Chamberlain said, which allows them to monitor activity at any of the county’s six voting centers, as well as inside the election facility. Those interested should contact political parties to sign up, she said.

The state’s voter registration database makes it extremely difficult for someone to vote twice, Chamberlain said.

“There are an incredible number of checks and balances in Colorado elections,” Chamberlain said. “Citizens can vote with confidence, and they can come watch us work, too.”

Tri-County Health Department declares youth vaping a crisis Board lays out steps to combat epidemic

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the state health department continues investigating vaping-related illnesses and doubles down on prevent-

ing tobacco use among youths, local health agencies are also taking action.

That includes the Tri-County Health Department, which serves roughly 1.5 million people in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Tri-County’s board on Oct. 15 adopted a resolution declaring youth vaping a crisis and laid out measures community members can take to combat the issue.

“Tri-County Health Department works to reduce the impact of tobacco by partnering with communities to provide tobacco prevention and cessation resources,” Executive Director John Douglas said in a statement. “We are expanding those evidence-based successes to fight our epidemic of youth vaping, including the recently recognized vaping associated acute lung disease.”

Douglas noted 27% of Colorado

youths report vaping.

Alison Reidmohr, the Tobacco Communications Strategist with the state health department, said that is more than twice the national average and the highest in the nation.

by Kathy Muni According to a recent survey of seniors, 80% were concerned about their ability to age in place, due to the cost. Sixty percent have less than $10,000 in savings (including investments and retirement plans), and debt among seniors has never been higher. Nearly half of homeowners ages 65–79 carry a mortgage.

In addition, seniors are living longer than previous generations.

All this adds up to a tough reality: funding longevity is hard.

However, there is a smart way to afford retirement, and live without a monthly mortgage payment: a home equity conversion mortgage, or HECM. To qualify for a government-insured HECM (reverse mortgage), at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 40–60% equity. A HECM eliminates your monthly mortgage payment, which can be a real burden if you’re on a fixed income. HECM

Pushing for a ‘united voice’ Cherry Creek School District has made array of efforts to stop student suicides

irst, a Cherry Creek High School freshman. Soon after, a senior at Creek.

Then, an Eaglecrest High School sophomore. This summer, a recent Grandview High School graduate, followed by a senior from that school. Each of these teenagers died by suicide this calendar year.

“It’s become something we’re too used to,” said Aidan Allis, a Cherry Creek High senior who tried to stoke conversations about suicide among his friends this year. “But it felt — last (school) year especially — out of our control. It was a wave that hit us, but before we could get up, another wave hit us.”

In response, the Cherry Creek

School District’s administration has put forth a cascade of changes aimed at preventing suicide and raising awareness about mental health in one of Colorado’s largest and highest-achieving school districts. It added two new directors of mental health. It assigned a mental health coordinator to each of the district’s six high school “feeder” regions to better help students who need it most. It’s expanding suicide prevention programming in its high schools.

“We felt like we needed to do something different and provide more support to our mental health team,” said Tony Poole, a 30-year veteran of the Cherry Creek district and an assistant superintendent. “And, thus, to our kids too.”

There are still more steps to take on the horizon: expanding a new, twice-weekly period of conversation at Cherry Creek High to other schools. Reaching parents about how to approach social media use and monitor their kids.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS HELP Suicide is preventable, the National Association of School Psychologists says.

Suicidal thoughts can be reduced with proper mental health support and treatment, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention says.

If you are in need of mental health help, call Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 — or text TALK to 38255 — to talk to a professional.

Certain factors are associated with risk of suicidal thoughts. These include, among others: • Mental illness, including depression, conduct disorders and substance abuse.

• Family stress or dysfunction.

• Situational crises, such as traumatic death of a loved one, physical or sexual abuse, or family violence.

Changes in behavior, appearance, thoughts or feelings can signal suicidal thinking, as does making final arrangements, writing a will or giving away prized possessions.

If you believe someone may be considering suicide, take the following actions: • Remain calm.

• Ask them directly if they are think-

ing about suicide.

• Focus on your concern for their wellbeing and avoid being accusatory.

• Listen; do not judge.

• Reassure them there is help and they will not feel like this forever.

• Do not leave them alone.

• Remove means for self-harm.

• Get help — tell a parent, teacher or school psychologist. Parents should seek help from school or outside mental health resources as soon as possible.

Cherry Creek School District offers resources to aid in conversations parents might have with students, at www. cherrycreekschools.org/Page/4167 and www.cherrycreekschools.org/ Page/4170.

The district encourages parents to contact its counseling office or mental health staff with any questions or concerns regarding their children, listing the phone numbers 720-886-1980 and 720-886-2280.

‘Pressure to succeed, be perfect’ High intelligence, large-school culture part of conversation in student well-being

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Aidan Allis started to feel that too many students experience isolation at Cherry Creek High School, the senior took action.

“I’m third-generation here — my nana and papa and my mom went to Cherry Creek,” Allis said. “So I have a kind of emotional attachment to the school, and so does my family. And when I see something I don’t like, I want to change it.”

Allis felt a lack of community at Creek, so he set up a meeting with the school’s principal, Ryan Silva, to push for change. The result was a schoolwide assembly to stand against suicide and come closer together.

It came on the heels of the second Cherry Creek High student dying by suicide in less than two months, near the end of March.

“One of my main concerns with Creek is there are a lot of cliques there,” said Allis, who worked with students and administration to buy wristbands for the school and told

them to wear Creek colors to the assembly.

They made the effort “to kind of unify and show that your identity isn’t in what group you belong to,” Allis said. “You’re a Creek student — we’re a family in that sense.”

A message like that can get lost in the shuffle of a sprawling district that includes about 55,000 students. The populations at Cherry Creek School District’s high schools amount to 2,000 at the smallest schools, with Cherry Creek High clocking in at 3,600.

“I think it is a challenge,” said Eric Zimmerman, one of the district’s six mental health coordinators. “I think it’s real difficult for teachers to build those relationships, deeper relationships, with kids.”

Some students feel invisible or lost in such large student bodies, said Zimmerman, whose position helps oversee mental health in the Grandview High School area.

“Those kids who don’t fit into a certain category or just can’t find that friend group, they feel disconnected,” Zimmerman said.

Mental health staff try to steer those students toward positive outlets and activities, said Zimmerman, who has spent 14 years in the district and is a school psychologist. Staff also encourage adults and other students

to say hello if they see kids sitting by themselves.

Rick Padilla, the father of Cherry Creek freshman Jack Padilla, who died by suicide in February, said school culture needs to change.

“The focus can’t be on the top athletes, the win-at-all-costs (mentality), because some of these kids don’t make the team,” Padilla said. Instead, the community also needs to shine a light on kids who don’t excel at athletics or academics, he continued.

Sources of pressure Cherry Creek High can give off a “suck it up, buttercup” attitude, said Allis, a former football player.

“Because of the rigorous courses people take, (feelings are) kind of tucked under the table because you don’t always have time for that emotion,” Allis said. “Which isn’t always a bad thing — homework and tests are welcome distractions.” But, he said, the focus on work can be stressful.

The district’s high-achieving environment — academically and athletically — could have a bearing on students’ mental health, but that pressure might not necessarily come from schools themselves, Zimmerman said.

“There’s also family pressure, striving to get scholarships and what have you,” Zimmerman said, adding that

kids compare themselves to others.

“And there are some high-achieving kids to compare themselves to. I think there are issues between the haves and the have-nots. Our buildings are pretty diverse, and there are kids on the spectrum in terms of financial resources, family resources.”

Local, publicized suicide deaths in roughly the past year have included students in the Eaglecrest, Grandview and Cherry Creek high school areas — along with students from Arapahoe High School in Littleton Public Schools — comprising the Greenwood Village, Centennial and south Aurora regions, which are generally affluent compared to other stretches of metro Denver.

But Tony Poole, a Cherry Creek district assistant superintendent, said high intelligence is a common theme among students who have recently died by suicide.

“I don’t think they’re all wealthy by any means, but they are highly intelligent,” Poole said.

The district this year is examining how to better take care of that demographic. “These students tend to have more anxiety,” Poole added.

“All the way through elementary and middle school, they’ve done really well, and they hit high school and they have some challenges — that is a shock to the system,” said Zimmerman, speaking generally about highly intelligent students.

Despite the suicide deaths in the south Denver metro area, suicide rates tend to be higher in more rural areas of Colorado, said Steve Nederveld, one of two new mental health directors for the Cherry Creek district. And Sarah Brummett, director of the Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention, said there could be factors that make certain deaths more likely to be covered by media and that lower-income communities have their own obstacles that SEE PRESSURE, P9

‘He was happy to be anybody’s friend’ Mom remembers Jackson Langford, emphasizes following own path

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Olivia Langford laughs when she looks back on one of the few times her son was challenging to deal with.

“He ran out of school in fourth or fifth grade because he was mad at a teacher. Worst thing he’d ever done,” Langford laughed. “He was a really good kid.”

During a math computer game, Jackson Langford had figured out how to give everyone unlimited points — much to the anger of his teacher, his mom said.

“He was very intelligent, probably too smart for his own good most of the time,” Olivia Langford said.

“Very caring and kind of quiet, but

could be really goofy and silly and really had a great sense of humor.”

The Eaglecrest High School student had his typical teen quirks: He loved memes. He always had a LaCroix beverage in his hand. He loved anything with bacon.

But he also had a knack for seeking out kids who didn’t fit in as well as others and making sure they knew he cared, Olivia Langford said.

“We had a family friend who had Asperger’s (syndrome), and he was much younger than Jackson, and he’d always tell everyone Jackson was his best friend,” Olivia Langford said. “Most kids in middle or high school would have been embarrassed by that, but Jackson, he was really happy to be anybody’s friend.”

Inwardly, Jackson struggled with seeing a lack of purpose in his future. The 16-year-old took his own life in April.

“He felt very pressured to always look for the next thing: think about

college, career, about having kids … ” Olivia Langford said. “I think he kind of just wanted to be a kid, you know?”

Suicide is complex, and there are usually multiple causes, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Jackson put his all into anything he enjoyed: playing trombone and piano, and gymnastics, which he did since early childhood.

“He’d want people to enjoy life and be happy, and just live their life,” Olivia Langford said. “Whatever that means for you, do it.

That’s what he would want people to know.”

Jackson knew his parents accepted him and didn’t have unreasonable expectations for him, Olivia Langford said, but all parents should say that to their kids more, she added.

Make sure they “know that they’re accepted,” Langford said, “for exactly who they are and exactly what they think.”

‘He always thought of others first’ Family remembers Jack Padilla as compassionate, even as a kid

His family and friends have made several efforts to raise awareness about suicide since his death.

UNITED FROM PAGE 6

But so far, the district has taken one especially visible swing at spreading the conversation: a four-minute video, produced by about 20 students from all Cherry Creek district high schools, that gives advice to parents about how to approach the topic of suicide and make a difference for a student who may be struggling. It amassed 7,388 views as of Sept. 25, three weeks after its YouTube release, and the count still climbs.

How effective the efforts will be is difficult to measure — it’s possible that students’ responses on school climate surveys, taken every other year, will reflect a change in how they feel. But Poole, who helps oversee mental health in the district, pointed to a more visceral metric.

Poole “The ultimate measure is, we don’t want to lose another kid,” Poole said. “We do not want to lose another kid to suicide.”

‘Desensitization’ In the first couple weeks of the school year that began in August, about 20 students — from kindergarteners to high school seniors — underwent assessments to determine their risk for suicide in the Grandview feeder area.

“I’d say that’s pretty common,” said Eric Zimmerman, the Grandview feeder’s mental health coordinator, comparing his area’s number of assessments to that of other feeders.

“And part of that, too, is (that) the high number of assessments is not necessarily a bad thing. It can also mean that kids are reporting it or adults are connecting.”

Over the years, the number of

When a student with mental disabilities invited fellow students to a birthday party in the fourth grade, Jack Padilla was the only kid who showed up.

“He said, ‘Mom, dad, that was the best thing I could have done,’ ” said Rick Padilla, his father.

That was one of Jack’s defining characteristics: “He always thought of others first,” Padilla said.

The stories pile up: After a student came out as gay in eighth grade and feared going to high school, Jack was the first to welcome and comfort him at Cherry Creek High School. Another peer, struggling with his mental health,

took home-schooling for a while and was terrified to return to school. Jack welcomed him back, too, Rick Padilla said.

Jack, a 15-year-old freshman, took his own life in February after dealing with bullying at school and on social media, and experiencing depression.

It was a loss that, along with another suicide death of a student of that school, elicited a walkout in April at Cherry Creek High, with some students wearing “#Jackstrong” shirts — Jack’s brother, John Padilla, carried a large, poster-board photo of Jack in the crowd.

About seven months later, his father sat at Village Greens Park — a stone’s throw away from the high school — and remembered how his son played lacrosse and little league football there throughout his childhood. A memorial bench for Jack sits along a park path now.

As a lacrosse goalie, Jack — who

played for Cherry Creek High — was arguably the best in his age group in Colorado, Rick Padilla said. The Colorado Mammoth, a box lacrosse team, honored Jack before a game in April, featuring a message from Denver Mayor Michael Hancock in support of the work by Jack’s friends and family to raise awareness about suicide.

Away from the high-profile attention, Rick Padilla still smiles at a video of Jack jumping into a bin of rubber balls at a store.

He was “a very compassionate, fun-loving kid,” Padilla said with a smile.

Jack’s brother wrote on a GoFundMe page for the family’s “Jackstrong” suicide prevention effort that the strength Jack showed on the lacrosse field also spilled over to his personal life.

“Jack’s altruism, empathy, and strength,” John Padilla wrote, “were evident in everything he did.”

State teen suicide rate up, but overall trend unclear

suicide assessments — where mental health staff discuss with a student how fleshed-out their suicidal thoughts are — has increased, according to Zimmerman. The staff work with parents to support those students or connect them to resources.

As of October, the total number of assessments this school year was 723 throughout the district, or 1.3% of Cherry Creek’s roughly 55,000 students.

Most result in a low risk rating, and some kids are assessed multiple times.

The assessments arise from reports of concern by students or adults — sometimes after a troubling social media post, Zimmerman said. Reports regarding suicide also come through Safe2Tell, an anonymous reporting tip line and online platform commonly used in school communities.

Looking through his 14 years in the

Cherry Creek district, Zimmerman, a school psychologist, says the upward trend in assessments is consistent districtwide.

“It is really difficult to determine the ‘why,’ “ Zimmerman said. “I think it is due to better identification of students who are struggling, better reporting systems such as Safe2Tell, more awareness on the part of peers and more acceptance of mental health issues (and) treatment.”

The rise also could be partly due to an increase in suicidal thoughts themselves, he said. Rates of reported teen depression have increased in recent years, according to national research.

And today’s generation grapples with a new challenge: social media, which presents problems older generations didn’t confront, said Rick Padilla, father of the Cherry Creek

freshman who died by suicide in February.

“What I saw in my day was, if you had an incident or problem or something at school, you got on the bus at 3:30, and you didn’t have to deal with it. If you had a beef with somebody, you take care of it the next day,” Padilla said. “Now, it’s 24/7, relentless.”

Fifteen-year-old Jack Padilla took his own life after students allegedly bullied him in person and on social media, according to his family. It was suggested that he use a device to take his own life, and students also threatened to “beat him up and bring a weapon,” his father said.

About six weeks later, another Cherry Creek High student died by suicide.

Walter Sykes couldn’t take it anymore.

“Snapchat is probably one of the worst. You post on your story and people watch, and it blows up,” said Sykes, who grew tired of seeing his peers circulating each other’s posts and “going at” each other. “Everybody’s story, there is something negative there. I don’t like that. I’m not used to seeing people always be negative.”

Sykes, a Smoky Hill High School senior, halted his social media activity. And when it comes to teenagers feeling the weight of social media, he’s not alone: Students’ experiences can range from feeling isolated to severe bullying.

Fifteen-year-old Jack Padilla, a Cherry Creek High School freshman, took his own life after students allegedly bullied him on social media, suggesting he kill himself and threatening use of a weapon, according to his family.

Another student in the Cherry Creek School District — 10-year-old Ashawnty Davis — died by suicide after a video of her fighting with a girl who had allegedly bullied her ended up on social media, her family told FOX31 Denver in 2017. Finding out the video had been posted further caused her pain, the family added.

Suicide is complex, and there are almost always multiple causes. That can include treatable mental illnesses, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

The “relentless” nature of people criticizing each other on social media is an issue young people today have to face, unlike their parents, said Rick Padilla, Jack Padilla’s father.

“Here, acceptance is No. 1 for these kids. When you start getting bombarded at 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning … it’s very different. You want to be

“In affluent communities, stressors are different than stressors in lower socioeconomic communities,” Brummett said. “Not that there’s an absence of stressors in either one — just that they look different.”

Students in higher-achieving school districts nationwide sound similar notes, Brummett said.

“There’s a lot of pressure on them in those communities to succeed and be perfect,” Brummett said. “And there’s that social perception that everyone else is perfect: ‘If I’m struggling, what’s wrong with me?’ ” ‘Just be a kid’ Jackson Langford, an Eaglecrest student who died by suicide this spring,

Sykes, who later resumed using social media to communicate with family, said students feel like social media can be an outlet, but he disagrees.

“It’s supposed to be another world — you’re supposed to be able to get away, but you can’t,” Sykes said. “The same people who treat you bad in school treat you bad in social media, and there’s no outlet, really.”

Cherry Creek schools have taught students about healthy social media use for years, said Tony Poole, an assistant superintendent for the school district.

“Our superintendent is very fond of saying that he has not bought a single student in the district their cellphone — except for one, his kid,” Poole said.

“Nor does he allow kids in the district to be on Snapchat at 2 a.m. We need help. We need parents to know what their kids are doing on social media.”

The district doesn’t have a large-

A mixed bag Concerning social media posts are among the factors that can lead to a referral for a suicide risk assessment, said Eric Zimmerman, one of the district’s six mental health coordinators.

That’s where mental health staff discuss with a student how fleshedout any suicidal thoughts may be and, later, work with them on coping strategies or other supports, as well as easing them back into the school environment if they’ve been hospitalized.

Although social media is a modern outlet for venting distress, what students say they’re struggling with hasn’t changed much throughout the years, said Zimmerman, whose position helps oversee mental health in the Grandview High School area.

“A lot (has) to do with relationships, whether it be with a boyfriend or girlfriend or a friend group,” Zimmerman said about what may have students down or depressed. “Some of it has to do with family life.”

There isn’t likely a direct link between using social media and having suicidal thoughts, said Sarah Brummett, director of the Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention. And social media can be effective as a platform on which to share experiences, find support and connect with others, she added.

Interactions that play out on social media can contribute to feeling like an outsider, Brummett said, “which could lead to thoughts of suicide, but I wouldn’t say there’s that causal link.

There’s a lot of things that can make us feel that way.”

One way social media negatively affects students is by throwing off their “sleep hygiene,” Brummett said.

“Young people’s need for sleep are

‘Just a phase’ Young people have other mental health challenges that find them on the other side of a generational line, too.

Often, adults reinforce a stigma about mental health that can be counterproductive.

Zimmerman points to a “lack of understanding or awareness from parents understanding mental health and dismissing it as just a phase — those kinds of things are still prominent,” he said. Some parents say students are “just trying to get attention,” Zimmerman added.

Padilla, the father, said he’s talked to many adults about how conversations surrounding suicide were different when they were teenagers.

“It was the family secret — you didn’t talk about it. Better you deal with it quietly,” Padilla said. “I think today, kids are very comfortable talking about it. The stressors are different today.”

Olivia Langford says her son, Jackson Langford — an Eaglecrest student who died by suicide this spring — struggled with finding meaning in thinking about his future. Langford feels that kind of phenomenon is happening at a younger age for people today.

“He’s definitely not the only kid I know of,” Langford said. “When I talked about this with a few friends who have teenagers, they said their kid is going through that (questioning), and they didn’t go through it when they were a teenager.”

The “existential crisis” that young adults might feel — like Langford said she did when she finished college — is easier to navigate when a person is older, she said.

“But I think the only thing that would have helped him maybe is if it was normal,” Langford said, “and if he knew it’s OK to slow down and it’s OK to say no to things.”

found a lack of purpose when thinking about his future, according to his mother.

“So he felt odd — people didn’t understand him,” Olivia Langford said. He “wasn’t interested in the daily grind, rat-race kind of thing.”

Suicide is complex and almost always has multiple causes, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Normalizing the idea that kids don’t have to be perfect or have their future figured out could help people like Jackson, she said, but “that’s something that’s systemic — you can’t just put up a poster at the school.”

Schools often receive blame for youth suicides, and that’s a natural human reaction, Brummett said.

“But when it comes to suicide, it’s not just a school issue — it’s a community issue. Placing the blame and onus on schools is unfair” and unrealistic, Brummett said, because schools have

so many problems to try to address.

“The community informs the school climate and vice versa,” Brummett said.

Langford wondered if identifying students as Brummett “gifted and talented” — a distinction based on cognitive testing — later in their school careers, rather than only when they’re younger, could help them. Her son took Advanced Placement classes but wasn’t identified as gifted, said Langford, who works in gifted education and teaches third grade in Denver Public Schools. Gifted students put pressure on themselves and often think about “really heavy things” such as existential crises, Langford said.

“I think the schools do a good job of mental health for general population,” Langford said. But “for the kids who are just flying under the radar …

they need something extra. They need people who understand that and can help them in the emotional load they carry.”

On a broader level, for Allis, the Cherry Creek High senior, it appears that teachers have become more understanding of personal struggles.

“Teachers, over the last (few years), will say if you had a hard night, if you have something going on in your family, let me know, and we can move an assignment back,” Allis said. “I definitely feel like teachers are becoming more aware and more active in that sense.”

Langford, 37, wishes students would have more of a chance to “just be a kid.”

“When I was in high school and middle school, it was OK to just hang out and not have to do so much homework or be in eight different sports,” Langford said. “If that’s what you want to do, that’s great, but if you’re not that kid, that’s OK.”

Suicide is complex and almost always has multiple causes, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. That can include mental illnesses, which are treatable, the foundation says.

The parents of some students who died requested that the students’ names not be used in this story, and Colorado Community Media was not able to get in contact with a parent of one student.

Amid this year’s losses, Allis, the Cherry Creek High senior who got involved with suicide prevention efforts, noticed the tone of his conversations with friends take a turn.

It “bothered me, mainly because it got to a point of desensitization that someone passed by suicide,” Allis said.

“I remember being with one of my buddies and I said, ‘Damn, another one.’ And I stopped myself and thought: They deserved way more than a sentence like that.”

It appears the district agrees. Near the time of the two Creek student deaths, administration on the district’s Suicide Prevention Task Force wanted to better reach parents regarding students’ mental health, according to Janise McNally, district wellness coordinator. Administration enlisted students from each of the district’s high schools to film, edit and speak in the four-minute public service announcement-style video about how to approach a student who may feel suicidal.

The task force was developed by McNally and other district staff in fall of the 2017-18 school year in response to a growing need for suicide prevention efforts in the state and school district, McNally said. On the task force, district mental health staff have examined different aspects of suicide and developed resources for schools and families.

The district hopes to keep the group of students who worked on the video meeting throughout the year and possibly to release another video to support students’ mental health, McNally said.

“I think that these young people around here, they talk about it amongst one another,” Padilla said. “It’s the stigma around it that adults have applied that’s the problem.”

In need of ‘united voice’ The decision — made near the end of last school year — to add two new mental health directors and one mental health coordinator in each of the district’s six feeder areas may help steer district policy. Previously, one coordinator and one director handled the entire district. The new positions began this school year.

Asked what changes he’d like to see in the district, Poole, the assistant superintendent, said the new positions “will bring that answer to us.”

“These folks need some time to dig into our systems and evaluate all the things we do for mental health and come up with a better path for a way forward,” Poole said. “I’m sure there will be some changes we need to make.”

Whatever comes next will build on what appears to be a thorough mental health support system.

Already, the district had three mental health professionals at each high

Friends of Jack Padilla make voices heard ‘Jackstrong’ group speaks in suicide awareness videos, plans next moves

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a Sunday afternoon just about a month into this school year, a handful of students sat together in a living room a few blocks from Cherry Creek High School.

But they weren’t cramming for tests: They gathered to continue their push to raise awareness after losing a friend to suicide.

“After Jack passed, a number of his friends called me — and I called a few of them,” said Rick Padilla, father of Creek student Jack Padilla, who died by suicide in February. “They said, `Mr. Padilla, what can we do?’ ” Under the name “Jackstrong,” the teens meet at Padilla’s home to brainstorm, and in early September, they sat watching the fruition of perhaps their most public effort yet: a set of public service announcement-style videos they contributed to.

“It was kind of scary, but it’s going to be really good,” said Olivia Heichel, a Cherry Creek High sophomore. “It was a lot of sharing our own story. I just shared a lot about losing Jack.”

The rough-cut footage of what

From left, Karsen Kramer, Gio Villagrana, Tessa Boettcher, Olivia Heichel, Lily Osborne, Brook Bennett and Sailor Ross, who meet under the name “#jackstrong,” sit Sept. 8 at the home of Jack Padilla’s father. They watched rough footage of what would become PSA-style videos about teen suicide, released Oct. 8, that students in the group contributed to.

ELLIS ARNOLD would become the PSAs launched Oct. 8 after a collaboration by the Colorado Offices of the Attorney General; Film, Television and Media; and Behavioral Health, along with other local mental health organizations.

The videos feature young people opening up about their struggles with mental health and suicide attempts, sharing information about resources and giving advice to parents.

LPS ALSO WORKING TO FIND SOLUTIONS The Littleton Public Schools community is mourning the death by suicide of an Arapahoe High School student, the subject of a letter sent to parents in late October.

LPS has seen suicides across recent years, including two just days apart from each other at Arapahoe High in fall 2018. In response, LPS has developed a variety of programs over the past several years. The district’s mental health resource program connects families with a network of more than 200 mental health care providers, according to LPS, and district’s foundation will even pay for services for families in need.

LPS has also welcomed a long-term study into the relationship between characteristics of communities and youth suicide. Dr. Anna Mueller, a professor of sociology from Indiana University, is leading the study, while her colleague Sarah Diefendorf is conducting a concurrent study in Mesa County on Colorado’s Western Slope. The study will be conducted over two school years, concluding in 2021.

Mueller is not being paid by LPS, though officials are glad the study is taking place, according to Nate Thompson, the district’s director of social, emotional and behavioral services. school, two at every middle school and one per elementary school, along with a full-time nurse in every school.

Two national programs to raise awareness about suicide — Sources of Strength and Signs of Suicide — have already been active in the district.

Sources of Strength enlists students to change norms about seeking help, and encourages kids to develop strengths — such as family support, positive friends, mentors and healthy activities — through conversations, presentations, and online messages or posters. The program began last year in some Cherry Creek high schools, and this year, the district is expanding it to all its high schools.

The Signs of Suicide program educates about depression, encourages students to seek help for themselves or others, and aims to reduce stigma surrounding mental illness. It has run at all middle and high schools in the district for about a decade.

As part of evaluating that program,

McNally said, district staff members met with teams from all Cherry Creek’s middle and high schools to ensure that all school staff are prepared to respond helpfully to concerns about mental health or suicide brought to them by students.

Even middle- and elementaryschoolers engage in social-emotional learning, focusing on decision-making strategies, coping skills and others such topics, said Steve Nederveld, one of the district’s two new mental health directors. This year, Cherry Creek is implementing Second Step — a program that builds those kinds of assets — districtwide for K-8 students.

But amid the firing-on-all-cylinders approach, one new initiative leans on something simpler: talking to each other.

At Cherry Creek High, a new period this school year called “advisory” is held Mondays and Wednesdays, where students can talk about their emotions and what’s on their mind.

see it and know when their kids are struggling,” Heichel said.

Padilla, the former director of housing in the Denver Office of Economic Development, is now in a role that’s brand new for the City of Denver: suicide prevention administrator. He’s hoping to help reach “teens through teens,” he said.

“We have to say,” Padilla said, “ ‘It’s OK to not be OK.’ ”

“The teacher is present; it’s a group discussion,” Allis said. Students can “let go a little bit, relax. If you have extra homework, you can get it done.

“When you’re going through Creek, a lot of things fluctuate — new kids, new teachers, new relationships,” said Allis, who said he’s seen positive responses to the new program from freshmen.

The district will expand it to all of its high schools next year. The period was implemented this fall at Endeavor Academy, the district’s alternative high school, too.

The group of students behind the district’s September mental health video are looking to use their voices again, too, to reach farther.

“I think a second video, a part two — a little longer — could go a long way,” said Walter Sykes, a Smoky Hill High School senior who participated in the first one. “It could really hit everybody.

But all the district’s efforts can’t fully address youth suicide on their own, said Superintendent Scott Siegfried, in a letter to the community posted on the district website.

It’s a “communitywide issue,” Siegfried wrote, urging people to open up conversations about suicide with those close to them. “More than ever, we need to create a united voice of understanding, compassion and strength.”

Padilla, sitting at a coffee shop just south of Cherry Creek High six months after his son died, echoed that sentiment.

“It’s not just the schools, not just law enforcement, not just families, not just therapists,” Padilla said. “It’s going to take communitywide solutions to deal with these issues.”

Case moves forward against mom accused of killing child A friend of Kelly Turner traveled to the courtroom from Texas

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Highlands Ranch woman who was recently charged with the murder of her daughter more than two years after the girl’s death appeared in a Douglas County courtroom Nov. 1 as a judge heard preliminary motions.

Kelly Turner, 41, was arrested Oct. 18 after a grand jury returned a 13-count indictment on charges that include murder, child abuse, theft and forgery.

The indictment said Turner Turner convinced doctors to stop treating her 7-year-old daughter, Olivia, whom Turner said was terminally ill, and within months, the girl died. An autopsy later showed the girl didn’t have many of the conditions her mother claimed, according to the indictment.

Ruby King, who traveled to the courtroom from her home in East Texas, used to go to church with Turner, she said.

“I just can’t comprehend it,” King said after the hearing.

King broke down in tears when Turner entered the courtroom in a red

inmate jumpsuit and handcuffs and stared at her throughout the hearing.

Turner’s daughter died in Denver Hospice care in August 2017 after a battle with what her mother said was intestinal failure and about a dozen other conditions. The indictment, released in October, revealed that many doctors didn’t believe Olivia was a terminal patient and that Turner was ignoring repeated recommendations from her daughter’s physicians.

During the hearing, Judge Jeffrey Holmes heard preliminary motions from the prosecution and the defense, and set a court date for Jan. 21.

In the courtroom, King wore a pink T-shirt from a Texas fundraiser with the words “Peace for Princess Olivia” on it. When Turner and her children were living in Texas, King and other friends did what they could to support Olivia through her illness, King said.

Looking back, King said there were signs something was amiss, including that no one was allowed to visit Olivia in the hospital and that Turner said she moved to Denver for better care for the child.

“I questioned her moving to Denver because Houston has a worldrenowned children’s hospital,” King said. “Why would you live somewhere else?”

King planned to return for the next hearing in January, she said.

“I know her soul, there’s something wrong with it,” King said. “She needs prayer.”

Ruby King, a family friend of Kelly Turner, the woman recently charged with killing her daughter, traveled to Douglas County from Texas to attend the hearing on Nov. 1.

Debunking myths about Financial Advisors I hate telling people what I do for a living. I know, that’s a strange statement. It seems putting a spin on tired titles is the thing to do these days to reinvent the wheel. We have Nelisha industry disrupters, Firestone online influencer’s, couples consciously uncoupling… I have failed to find a sexy way to say what it is I do. To be blunt- I am a Financial Planner and Advisor. I’m sure you already have a preconceived idea of what that means, which is why I hate telling people my profession. But your idea about what I do… it’s probably wrong.

This was reinforced for me when I was asked to speak to a business owner advisory board. After asking attendees what they wanted to hear, I was a bit surprised by the response.

They wanted to discuss the follow-

ing issues: • Brokers who want commissions vs looking out for their clients’ best interest • The lack of attention or analysis of individual goals • Not enough touch points for review throughout the year • Confusing shop talk and industry jargon • Lack of trust That led me to a question of my own: who are you all working with?

These questions seem to stem from a working relationship straight out of the Wolf of Wall Street movie. Unfortunately, for too many investors this is their experience.

In 2015 my industry was put on notice that the landscape was changing by way of the Fiduciary Rule proposed by the Obama administration. The rule was born out of the simple principal: You want to give financial advice, you’ve got to

put your client’s interests first. Makes sense, right? Seems like a no-brainer? But through many appeals, hearings, and delays, the fiduciary rule has yet to become law.

Even though not required, we choose to practice a fiduciary standard in our office which means we are morally obligated to put our clients’ best interest first. The investment advice you receive must be made using accurate and complete information.

We must disclose any conflicts of interest and use a “best execution” standard when trading your money.

This high standard also requires meeting with our clients at least once per year to review their portfolio and plan.

It is a high standard, but essential for anyone handling your money. If

your advisor is acting in a fiduciary capacity none of the concerns listed above should be on your mind. If they are- call me and we’ll talk.

Okay, okay, there’s no two ways about it

had writer’s block. I had no original ideas. I knew if the block lingered, I would revert, and harangue about the injustices being, like, done, like, to, like, the English language.

QUIET So I went to Jennifer and said, “Help DESPERATION me, please. Give me an idea, a topic, a subject, a theme,” and you know what she said?

She said, “Okay.”

I looked at those luminous periwinkles of hers and said, “Thank you, thank Craig Marshall you.”

If you have ever Smith wondered why we say “okay” — or “OK,” per The Associated Press Stylebook— you have

Jennifer to thank.

This one little word — or two letters — is said over and over, all day and all night, to express “assent, agreement, or acceptance.”

Why not “AC” instead, because most of us language historian types agree that “OK” stands for “all correct.”

Well, because language, she is a funny girl.

Have you ever wondered where “shampoo,” “tattoo,” and “barbecue” came from? I’ll save those for my next bout of writer’s block. Okay?

Some think “OK” comes from oblique thinking, and it’s a twist around of “oll korrect,” as an obvious witticism that wasn’t “all correct.”

And that it can be traced to the 19th century.

Right now, right this minute, there are abbreviations and acronyms that

might stay with us just as OK has.

For examples; “LOL” and “OMG,” neither of which you will see here, unless they are used facetiously.

That word “facetious” won me a prize.

Long before Turner Classic Movies, there was a Los Angeles television station that showed movies all day, and, unlike Turner, it was not commercial-free.

However, like Turner, there was a host, and he sometimes quizzed viewers.

One day, he asked for words in the English language that have all five vowels in order.

It turns out there are twenty-seven, but most of them (“travertinous”) rarely are used.

I called in “facetious” and won a six-pack of furniture polish.

Did I have furniture? When I was a

college student in the 1960s and the 1970s, my furniture was sometimes the floor.

I had cinder blocks and one by sixes for bookshelves. You don’t polish one by sixes.

But I had won, and that’s all that mattered. The host mentioned my name on the air.

“Greg Smith,” he said.

But I didn’t mind. I was okay with it.

Whenever I feel an “OK” coming on, I write “okay” instead.

For one very good reason: “OK” is the accepted abbreviation for “Oklahoma.” And if you have seen the play or the film or simply heard the soundtrack of the Rodgers and Hammerstein project, you know what I mean.

ow, there are six “f ” words in the title of this column. And I am sure you have noticed that they are slightly different from what some might think about when they consider the “f ” word.

If you are like WINNING others, you probably WORDS thought about “f ” words like faith, family, friends, fortune, fitness, fantastic, focused, fabulous, fortunate, freedom, forgiveness, fellowship, feelings, and a few other fresh and fulfilling words that foster fruitful friend- Michael Norton ships.

Not trying to tell anyone how to use the “f ” word, I am just trying to suggest there are so many other alternatives that may be an equally, or maybe an even more effective and fun way to make our point. Feelings often facilitate or fuel our desire to want to use the “f ” word, especially when we have been hurt or disappointed. I get it, and you are probably thinking the

same thing as me right now, that when we are hurt or disappointed, we immediately go to our “f ” words, forgiveness and freedom. Or phrased slightly differently, the freedom that comes with forgiveness.

Oh, that’s not what you were thinking? That’s OK too. There is always a first time for everything. Kind of like the first time I was asked to try cauliflower. I didn’t really care for it — as a matter of fact it was far from fantastic or fabulous, I thought it tasted foul. But then one day a chef had prepared it differently, presented it on the plate in a fresh and favorable way, and when I tasted it, I experienced a festive and flavorful meal that was truly phenomenal. Okay, so I cheated with the “ph” but you get the point right?

I often write about how important our word choices are and how they impact our attitude and our behaviors.

They influence how others perceive us and if we are not careful, our words can damage our reputation and our relationships. Our words can cause feelings of fear, failure, and fragility.

Be in the know to go Travel on I-70 west of the Denver metro area is the main focus for the new traction law because of the roadway’s dangerous driving conditions in winter weather. Here are numbers collected from October through December last year on I-70.

Number of times CDOT activated the traction law

Crashes Two plows make their way on C-470 in Highlands Ranch at about 1 p.m. during the Oct. 29 snowstorm. A new law now makes it illegal to pass working snowplows.

CHRISTY STEADMAN

Motorists should be aware of laws regarding traction, plows

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hile watching the snowfall can be relaxing and playing in it can be a lot of fun, driving in Colorado’s snowstorms can be less than desirable.

“We know it’s going to happen,” said Andrew Hogle, a public information officer with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the organization’s Winter Wise campaign.

“We’re going to get a snow event.”

There are two new laws Colorado drivers should be aware of when driving in snowy weather. One is the snowplow law, which affects all motorists statewide. It requires that drivers not pass working snowplows. The second is the passenger vehicle traction law, which primarily affects I-70 drivers — including ski resort destinations — west of the metro area.

Colorado’s traction law If winter weather driving conditions are bad enough, CDOT can implement an active traction law on any state highway. When active, there will be highway signage, or motorists can receive an alert by signing up through CDOT’s www.COtrip.org website.

When the traction law is active, it requires that all vehicles on state highways fit one of these categories: four-wheel/all-wheel drive; equipped with a traction device such as chains; or have snow tires or tires with mud and snow designation.

In addition, all tire tread must be at least 3/16 of an inch in depth.

“The deeper the tread, the better the

snow traction,” said John Tracey, owner of South Park Tire and Automotive Center in Littleton.

But that doesn’t mean everyone needs to replace their current snow tires to be able to get around this winter, Tracey said.

“Many tires are being thrown away before their lifespan,” Tracey added.

To make sure your tires aren’t being discarded before they’re worn, have them checked first to ensure they’re adequate for winter weather, Tracey said. Tires have a small notch, known as a wear bar, built in for selfchecking, Tracey said. But any tire shop can also measure the tread for those who are unfamiliar with doing it themselves and/or want an expert’s accuracy.

Tracey also recommends that everyone consult with a tire dealer to discuss what type of tire would meet their specific winter driving needs.

For example, Tracey services a lot of seniors who are retired, he said. They may only need a front-wheel-drive car with all-season tires, Tracey said, because they might be able to avoid driving in the snow and ice altogether by staying home during a storm and waiting until after the streets are plowed.

But on the other hand, there are skiand-snowboard enthusiasts who need to travel safely in the mountains every weekend.

“It would be crazy” and unsafe for them not to have their vehicle properly equipped for inclement weather, he said.

Additional precautions on I-70 CDOT states that “the I-70 mountain corridor is one of Colorado’s most highly traveled corridors … and the corridor is also frequently subject to dangerous winter weather driving conditions.”

This is why I-70 is being targeted for

the newest rules of Colorado’s traction law, Hogle said.

Beginning on Sept. 1 this year and continuing to May 31, 2020, the traction law will be active for all motorists traveling I-70 from Morrison to Dotsero.

This means that in this 126-mile stretch all winter, every vehicle must be traction law compliant as explained above, or be carrying chains, cables or an alternative traction device at all times.

“A single car spinout can cause a holdup for a couple hundred vehicles,” Hogle said. “We see accidents that could’ve been avoided happen all the time.”

If not compliant with the law, fines can range from $130 for just not being compliant — inadequate tread on snow tires and no alternate traction device, for example — to $650 if the non-compliancy caused a traffic event such as a crash.

Colorado State Patrol will be enforcing the law, Hogle said. For the first year, it will be a secondary offense, Hogle said, such as if you were pulled over for speeding and the state trooper found that the vehicle was additionally not in compliance with the law.

‘Bow to the Plow’ No matter what street you’re driving on, all motorists need to understand the new snowplow law. Being dubbed “Bow to the Plow,” it means simply: Don’t pass a working snowplow.

“If they’re out there doing their work,” Hogle said, “it means there’s icy and snowy conditions. A little patience goes a long way.”

If snowplows are not working, they’re just like any other vehicle, Hogle said, and it’s OK to pass them on the left. Drivers can recognize a working snowplow because its blue lights will be flashing, and often there will be two of them in tandem, Hogle said.

Spinouts or slideoffs

Mechanical issues

Hours of lane-blockage time these traffic/vehicle accidents caused “It may be an inconvenience” driving behind a slow-moving snowplow, Hogle said, “but a crash is a much worse inconvenience.”

Be smart: Plan ahead Other than knowing the laws, it’s “important to plan ahead and make sure your vehicle is ready for winter,” Hogle said.

CDOT has vehicle and safety checklists available for winter driving preparedness on its website.

A few of these include making sure windshield wipers, headlights and brakes are working properly, as well as having a flashlight and extra batteries; an extra set of warm clothes such as a coat, hat and mittens; water and non-perishable food; a first-aid kit; and jumper cables in case of an emergency.

“Hopefully you’ll never need them, but it’s better to be prepared,” Hogle said. “It’s not just mountain driving that can be hazardous. Be smart about being on the road.”

Party at post office marks stamp of approval Colorado and national historic registers add building to their rosters

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s 70-year-old post office at 5735 S. Prince St. will be celebrated from 1 to 3 p.m. on Nov. 9, and Historic Littleton Inc. is coordinating with the Littleton Post Office staff by inviting the community to join in.

Why? Because the 1939 red brick building has been nominated and accepted for the National Register of Historic Places and the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties — a special honor. Dedication and speakers are scheduled for 2 p.m., tours of the building will be available and refreshments are planned.

Readers may enjoy taking a harder look at this well-used public building that many of us visit frequently for stamps and to mail birthday and holiday gifts, family news and photos — and at times, returned shoes and other online orders that don’t fit properly.

It’s so familiar a part of the city of Littleton and our day-to-day lives that we perhaps haven’t paid attention to its details …

Historic Littleton Inc., which celebrates 30 years since the organization’s founding in honor of Littleton’s centennial year founding, recognized that the building is 70 years old and

showing some wear … HLI has worked for several years on gaining this recognition for the post office in the “Colonial Revival Style with a sidegable roof and a full basement,” as the application begins: “The Post Office Building, loading docks and parking areas cover half a city block. The building has an `L’-shaped addition added to the west and north sides. The 1962 addition matches the materials and Colonial Revival Style of the original 1939 portion,” wrote HLI President Gail Keeley, a professional historian, who speaks the language of the people at National Park Service who award such special designations when they deem a building worthy ...

The application continues: “The building is located in a prominent location in downtown Littleton on the northwest corner of West Alamo Street and South Prince Street.”

(Central to the charming downtown.)

“The Post Office faces east on South Prince, with the main entrance on the east side. The original portion has a side gable with copper standing seam roof with simple wood molded cornice with dentils, common bond brick walls and cast stone (cement) water table. A wood cupola is centered on the roofline above the main entrance.

All the wood windows are oversized twelve over twelve double-hung with simple cast stone sills and lintels.

The 1962 addition has a flat roof with parapet and simple cast stone cornice replicating the original cornice but without dentils. The interior lobby spaces of the original building

and the addition are finished using late 1950s modern materials. All the building materials and finishes are original to the two respective building periods, with the exception of a few minor changes in the post office box area.

A narrative follows, mentioning that prominent landmarks in the vicinity include the Littleton Main Street National Historic District, along with the locally listed Main Street Historic District. The other prominent historic building, which is located northwest in the same block, is the Littleton Town Hall, listed in the National Historic Register.

Historic Littleton Inc. board member Rick Cronenberger, a retired National Park Service architect who worked with this national program, has led the effort to have the post office designated — involving frequent paperwork and connections to a variety of individuals who have a say in the matter. He has happily ordered the appropriate bronze plaque, which the local postmaster will mount.

Recognition is in order for this special building — readers are urged to stop by on Saturday, Nov. 9 in the afternoon.

‘Sully’ to be presented with Spreading Wings award Wings Over the Rockies to honor Sullenberger for 10th anniversary of Miracle on the Hudson STAFF REPORT

Wings Over the Rockies will honor Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger as its 2019 Spreading Wings award recipient.

Sullenberger became internationally known on Jan. 15, 2009, when he and his crew safely guided US Airways Flight 1549 to an emergency water landing in New York City’s frigid Hudson River.

The Airbus A320’s two Sullenberger engines had lost thrust following a bird strike.

Sullenberger and his crew received international acclaim for their actions that day, including the passage of a Congressional resolution recognizing their bravery. Sullenberger was ranked second in TIME’s “Top 100

Most Influential Heroes and Icons of 2009” and was awarded the French Legion of Honour.

“Captain Sullenberger is the pinnacle of aviation excellence,” Wings Over the Rockies President and CEO Maj. Gen. John Barry, USAF (Ret), said in a news release. “His exceptional acts during Flight 1549, his leadership in transportation safety and a lifelong passion for flight are the cornerstones of aviation merit and we are thrilled to be honoring him with our annual award.”

The Spreading Wings Gala is planned for 6:30 p.m. Dec. 5 at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, Denver. The evening will feature a special presentation by Sullenberger, food and drinks, as well as a celebration of Wings Over the Rockies’ contributions to Colorado’s aerospace community.

“Wings Over the Rockies is an important part of shaping and encouraging the future aviators of our country,” Sullenberger said in the release.

“It is an honor to accept this award and support an organization so committed to educating and inspiring the next generation.”

Retiring mail carrier delivered letters and friendship Ken Cruzan receives warm tribute after 18 years on Littleton route

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ken Cruzan normally walks 15 miles a day. But on Oct. 27, he couldn’t go more than 5 feet without being stopped.

Cruzan, 66, will soon retire after 40 years as a mail carrier for the United States Postal Service, with the last 18 years on the same route in Littleton.

In the basement of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, in the heart of Cruzan’s mail route, dozens of his longtime customers wouldn’t let him move far without stopping him for hugs, handshakes and warm wishes.

“It’s just one of the best days I’ve ever had,” Cruzan said. “I’m just so humbled. This community has just gone overboard for me.”

The folks on Cruzan’s route feel the same about him.

“He’s everything you could ask from a mailman,” said Audrey Wenger, whose mail has passed through Cruzan’s hands for years.

“He’s reliable, he’s great with the neighborhood dogs, and he really cares about us,” Wenger said, remembering that Cruzan always made sure

Ken Cruzan, who will retire this spring after 40 years as a mail carrier, plays a farewell song with his bluegrass band, the Tuesday Night Boys, at a celebration in his honor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Littleton on Oct. 27. Cruzan, 66, said he looks forward to focusing on music and art.

DAVID GILBERT to check on her after her husband died several years ago.

“And we’re only now discovering how talented he really is,” Wenger said.

Staff at Holy Trinity only recently discovered that Cruzan is also the

mandolin player for bluegrass band The Tuesday Night Boys. The band played at Cruzan’s retirement celebration, part of the church’s annual Oktoberfest gathering.

“He’s a fixture of our daily lives, so it’s wonderful to get to celebrate

him like this,” sand Sonja Sandquist, the church’s youth and family pastor.

“He’s woven into the fabric of our world, and he’ll be very missed.”

Cruzan’s still got a few months on the job — his last day will come next spring — but he’s ready to hang up the mailbag. He said he’s eager to focus on music and painting.

Decades carrying mail have given him some insights on life, Cruzan said.

“You learn when someone’s grouchy, don’t respond with your own hostility,” Cruzan said. “Ask how they’re doing. Leave a bit of cheer.”

Mail carrying can be contemplative work.

“You have a lot of time to yourself — a lot of time to reflect on your life, or think about your family,” said Cruzan, a father of two.

Cruzan said as the years have gone by, he’s seen families experience birth and loss, and reached out to lonely people.

“Some people, I’m the only person they’ll see all day,” Cruzan said.

“Some folks will wait for me, just to have someone to say hello to.”

The demands on mail carriers keep increasing, Cruzan said, making it harder to take the time to connect with residents.

In the church basement, many of Cruzan’s well-wishers had one question for him: “See you Monday?”

“See you Monday,” Cruzan said.

A taste of Italy in Englewood Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bake opens its doors

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gaspare Licata grew up in a household where cooking and baking was the family business. The Sicily, Italy native left his country and family when he was only 13 to learn more about the family trade. He wanted to work with chocolate, learn how to bake wedding cakes and more — so he went out on an adventure.

Licata traveled throughout different parts of Europe learning the ins and outs of cooking and baking before eventually settling down in the United States in 1972. His adventure paid off and led to a career as a personal chef for the Los Angeles Rams, catering for the Kennedy family and ownership of restaurants and bakeries in areas including Italy, California, Pueblo and Aurora.

Now, Licata has his eyes set on South Broadway in downtown Englewood. With his daughter Vincenza Licata, and her boyfriend, Brian Meadows, the trio rebranded the Duffer Haus sports bar site into a fullblown Italian restaurant. The former Duffer Haus space is now Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bake, located at 3470 S. Broadway. The Italian restaurant

“I’ve opened up a few places that have been successful, and I think South Broadway has more potential than any place I’ve been. It just takes time,” said Gaspare, who is in charge of the kitchen.

At the front of the restaurant is a rooster statue. Gallo translates to rooster in Italian, and the animal is seen as a symbol of good luck in Italian culture, according to Meadows.

On the left side of the restaurant is a bakery and deli where customers

Vincenzo Pollio, a chef at Gallo Italian Supper Club, shows off a pizza. Every dish at the restaurant is made from scratch.

PHOTOS BY JOSEPH RIOS can pick up Italian sweets, meat and more.

Toward the back of the restaurant, behind the bar, is a dining room with authentic Italian decorations straight from Sicily.

“It’s family owned and family operated. All of the staff you see in here are friends and family of the owners,” said Meadows. “It’s very important for us to keep this as a mom and pop shop. We like that family feel,

that family vibe.”

As far as the menu goes, every dish is made from scratch. Meadows said one of the most popular items on the restaurant’s menu is the arancini — risotto stuffed with Bolognese and mozzarella or green chili and cheddar.

Other offerings from the restaurant include pastas, pizzas, calzones, lasagna and desserts.

Food, fund drive aims to help veterans and their families Donations will be accepted through Veterans Day STAFF REPORT

A food and fund drive that aims to bring awareness to food insecurity among families of veterans and military members is collecting donations through Veterans Day. According to a news release, one in five households served by a local food bank has at least one member who has served or is now serving in the U.S. military. Food insecurity means lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.

In the United States, food insecurity affects 1 in 8 people, according to the release. Food insecurity is a social determinant of health, which are conditions in people’s environments that can affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.

Last year, Humana partnered with Feeding America — the largest hunger-

relief organization in the United States — to stage a series of events that drove food donations and raised awareness of food insecurity with a focus on helping veterans. Food Bank of the Rockies is part of Feeding America’s network of food banks and has teamed up the Humana to partner for this year’s drive.

Nonperishable food will be collected through Nov. 11 at locations in the Denver area. In addition, monetary donations also are being accepted. Every $10 donation helps Food Bank of the Rockies provide 40 meals. Donations can be made at http://fbr.convio.net/goto/ humanafooddrive.

Food donations can be taken to: • Humana, 6300 S. Syracuse Way, Centennial • Morning Story Restaurant, 560 S. Holly St., Denver • Iora Primary Care locations in Arvada, 8175 N. Sheridan Blvd., Unit N; in Lakewood, 1692 Wadsworth Blvd.; and in south Jefferson County, 8246 W. Bowles Ave. For other locations, go to ioraprimarycare.com/practice-locator/

“If you go to Italy, you’re going to get overfed. They love to cook, and It’s very well shown within their meals,” said Meadows. “Our portions, they’re family style. They’re big.”

The restaurant is planning on having a rebranding party sometime in the middle of November that will include live performances. It’s open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays.

The 3400 block of South Broadway has seen some change this

year with new businesses like Brewability, a brewery that took over the Brew on Broadway location, and Zomo Asian + American Eatery joining the area.

S “We might just have to start calling these two blocks of Englewood ‘restaurant row.’ A place where you can enjoy cuisine from all over the world, sample the styles of various chefs and join our local celebrities at some of their favorite haunts,” said David Carroll, executive director for the S Greater Englewood Chamber of A Commerce.

Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bake is part of the chamber, an organization that promotes its business members and other Englewood businesses.

The lump at Lonesome Pine

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

henever it snows, a lump appears at the big hill at Lonesome Pine Park. The mound of snow sculpted by neighborhood kids is a famous launching pad for those who take their sleds out.

Over the course of a snow day, like the first one of the year called Oct. 30, the lump is shaped by butts on sleds using the extra foot of elevation to send them soaring for a moment as they descend into the bowl at the hill’s bottom.

The famous sledding hill in the Acres Green neighborhood, just west of Lone Tree city limits, is a spot where kids — some who come from as far as Parker — flock to for the best snow to ride down.

No one knows how the lump gets there every time, it just always is, always near the top third of the steepest part of the hill — just low enough to gain enough speed approaching it, but just close enough where it’s difficult to second guess and bail out.

As the lump is used and

Amanda Lewis gets air on the snow ramp at Lonesome Pine Park in Acres Green Oct. 30. molded by dozens of kids throughout the day, it begins to resemble more of a ramp.

The snow melts and freezes over and gets packed tighter with each passing sledder, making for faster lift-offs and longer hangtimes.

When the sledding is really good, a second ramp begins construction somewhere along the hill to handle the traffic, though it’s typically not as structurally sound as the original lump.

Colorado Community Media, a full service media company is looking to add to our team.

VAPING FROM PAGE 5

whose brains are still in development, is really a cause for concern,” she said.

The department is frequently asked why Colorado’s youth vaping rates are so high, Reidmohr said. One theory is that tobacco companies have historically used Colorado as a test market when pitching products.

“It’s possible that vaping products have been marketed more heavily and longer in Colorado than other states,” she said.

She added that Colorado is one of “only a handful of states” that don’t license tobacco retailers, and that social norms may contribute to the epidemic.

Vaping indoors wasn’t banned in Colorado until July, when an update to the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act went into effect.

Reidmohr said her department supports local agencies in addressing youth vaping through technical support in drafting polices and with grant dollars.

The Tri-County Health Department in its resolution detailed how community members can curb youth vaping: • School districts and schools should enforce tobacco-free policies. They should lean on restorative justice and alternatives to suspension, in order to keep students in school. Focus health education on life skills and decision making.

• Local governments should consider strong regulations on retailers. That could include licensing tobacco retail-

ers, raising the minimum legal sales age and banning the sale of flavored tobacco or nicotine products.

Reidmohr said 19 Colorado communities have raised the legal sales age from 18 to 21, and 26 communities have passed local retail licensing regulations.

Parents should educate themselves and talk to their children openly about vaping. Youths can speak to their peers about coping with stress in healthy ways.

While Reidmohr’s department works on preventions, other state officials are investigating vaping-related illnesses.

The public is urged against using any type of vaping product at this time, said Elyse Contreras, the state health department’s lead epidemiologist investigating Colorado’s cases in the outbreak.

There have been 11 reported cases of vaping-related illnesses in Colorado.

Nine of those placed people in the hospital. There are more than 600 cases nationally. Symptoms include shortness of breath, trouble breathing, chest pain, coughing, fatigue and fever.

Federal agencies are investigating the illness’ cause or causes, which remain unknown.

The state health department works with local communities to gather data on the outbreak, Contreras said. They urged health agencies and hospitals to look out for the illness and report any cases to the state department.

Contreras stressed anyone displaying symptoms should see their doctor.

“If they become sick, definitely hold on to the product for us to collect to send off for testing,” she said.

Warriors gain first-round win in OT Arapahoe came back from an early deficit against Rangeview

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

am Myers felt like he was involved in a rerun during Arapahoe’s first-round state soccer playoff game against Rangeview on Nov. 1 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Myers, a junior midfielder for the Warriors, took a pass from Liam Andersen and scored the game-winning goal with 5:39 to play in the overtime session to give Arapahoe a 2-1 victory and move the defending 5A state champions into the second round, which was scheduled for Nov. 6.

“I scored a goal in a similar spot in the past, so I just went for it and trusted that my guy would go for the ball — and he did,” said Myers. “It all worked out. I got a good pass that was on the money. Without the pass it wouldn’t have happened.”

Arapahoe, the 12th seed in the 32team state playoff bracket, fell behind No. 21 Rangeview, which grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first half.

Aiden Kirk tied the game for Arapahoe in the 59th minute and the Warriors’ offensive pressure paid off with Myers’ overtime goal.

“When Liam got that ball, I said this is it,” Warriors coach Mark Hampshire said about the decisive goal. “I knew it was going to be it. This was the best game I’ve seen him (Andersen) play all season and for Sam to finish it with that kind of composure, I knew it was going to happen.”

Rangeview’s first-half goal got the attention of Arapahoe.

“Once that happened, the guys said, ‘OK, that’s it, we are not conceding anything else,’” Hampshire said.

L

Arapahoe senior Garrett Lyles (18) attempts to get to the ball despite the efforts of Rangeview’s Christian Valdez (10) during the first round boys soccer state playoff game on Nov. 1 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. Arapahoe won 2-1 in overtime on a goal by Sam Myers.

JIM BENTON “This was the best team soccer we’ve seen with our offense in quite a while and that’s what you want in the playoffs. You want them to feel confident, even if some of the chances didn’t go our way, we were creating those chances and having the confidence to do some of that stuff. The finishes are going to happen.”

Myers expected a tough game in the first round.

“We realized that every game is going to be a fight,” said Myers. “There are no easy teams. Rank doesn’t matter. This year, everyone is beating everyone. You just have to come out with a positive attitude and do your best.”

Slew of south metro teams advance in soccer STAFF REPORT

Cherry Creek, the second-seeded team among the 32 in the boys Class 5A state soccer playoffs, advanced into the second round with a 4-0 victory over Fort Collins on Nov. 1.

The Bruins scored three times in the second half to secure the win over the 31st seeded Lambkins and moved into the second round, which was scheduled to be played Nov. 6.

Quarterfinals are set for Nov. 9, with the 5A semifinals on tap for Nov. 13 at Echo Park Stadium in Parker and the championship match scheduled for Nov. 15 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

on were defending state champion Arapahoe, Regis Jesuit, Grandview, Castle View and Rock Canyon.

Sam Myers’ overtime goal lifted Arapahoe, seeded 12th, to a 2-1 win over No. 21 Rangeview.

Regis Jesuit, the sixth seed, rolled to a 6-0 win over 27th seeded Bear Creek. Senior Luke Galan had three goals to spark the victory and Casey McCloskey had a goal and two assists for the Raiders.

Seventh-seeded Grandview, last season’s state runners-up, got a second half goal from Ivan Luna to eliminate No. 26 Poudre 1-0.

Castle View, the 10th seed, got goals from Cooper Landry and Tiernan Freiberger and posted a 2-0 win over

No. 23 Eaglecrest. Junior goalie Jackson Temme made seven saves in the win.

Rock Canyon, seeded 14th, advanced with a shootout win over 19th seeded Valor Christian. The teams ended 0-0 in regulation time and overtime, but the Jaguars won the shootout, 5-4.

Broomfield, the ninth seed, ended the season for No. 24 seed Douglas County, 3-1, and No. 28 Mountain Vista lost 3-2 in overtime at fifth seed Boulder.

In the Class 4A playoffs, Ponderosa and Littleton lost first-round matches.

Air Academy, seeded fifth, ousted No. 28 Ponderosa , 3-1, and top seeded Battle Mountain downed No. 32 Littleton 4-0.

utheran has announced it will have a varsity girls softball team that will compete next fall, and the move has led to discussions about next season’s playing status — mostly of one particular player.

Junior Katie Dack-Howell, a student at Lutheran, has played softball for Rock Canyon for the past three seasons and is one of the state’s best 5A players. But she played this season under a cloud of uncertainty regarding whether she can finish her OVERTIME prep softball career as a senior member of the Rock Canyon team, play 3A softball with a new Lutheran program or not play at all.

Lutheran didn’t have a softball program, so under state Jim Benton rule CRS 22-32-165.5, Dack-Howell could seek participation opportunities at a school in her school district of residence or her school district of attendance.

Dack-Howell, who has committed to play softball at Texas A&M and won the shot put and discus state championship last spring for Lutheran, lives in the Rock Canyon attendance area, and since Lutheran previously did not have a softball team, she played for the past three seasons at Rock Canyon.

The Colorado High School Activities Association follows state laws, so when Lutheran adds a softball program, then Dack-Howell and other students from Lutheran who might have played for other schools would be required by state law to return and play for Lutheran.

Rock Canyon softball coach Mike Desimone, Katie’s parents, CHSAA and Lutheran have had discussions.

Katie’s parents are planning to appeal.

Here’s what some of those involved had to say: “One of the problems we face is nobody wants to be negative toward CHSAA or put administrators in a tough position,” said Desimone.

“Nobody is looking to do that. The life we live today is complicated and there are circumstances that require us as adults to look a little deeper and understand the situation to give kids the best opportunity available to them.

Connection Project launches digital resource event Podcast series, resource list to support Denver metro emergency responder community STAFF REPORT

The Connection Project has launched a digital resource event.

“Everyday Brave” supports the emergency responder community though a series of real-life stories shared through podcasts and a list of support resources for emergency responders, according to a news release.

The Connection Project’s founder and president, Jason C. Hopcus, hosts eight Everyday Brave podcasts, featuring emergency responders, leadership and way-makers from the Denver metro emergency responder community.

Additionally, emergency responders will be connected to a digital resource list tailor-made for life needs of emergency responders. The list offers support resources in key areas that emergency responders might seek help: health, job, money and tribe.

The Connection Project’s mission is to create sustainable connections that meet people where they are. It takes a fresh approach by focusing on those who have turned their personal struggle around to champion for a community-driven cause.

“The present narrative about mental health is often perpetuated through sad, scary or traumatic events, which typically overlook individuals who are simply struggling with functional life issues. It’s time we offer a hand up and meet them where they are,” Hopcus said in the release.

For more information, contact Hopcus at ProjectJason@realpeoplereallife.org, 469-442-6426 or www.realpeoplereallife.org.

BENTON FROM PAGE 33

“It is unfortunate to put a kid in that position as a senior. I understand if you are a freshman, you might have to switch.

That’s a chance you take but you still have the lion’s share of your softball career in high school. Doing this to a senior — because it is unrealistic to expect her to play 3A because she is one of the best players in the country, let alone the state — asking that player to play at a lower level is not fair to the other players, it’s not fair for her. That’s why I feel an appeal process is necessary.”

Katie’s mother, Jamie, pointed out that Rock Canyon will lose six seniors and four starters off this season’s team and that they are not filing an appeal for an athletic advantage.

“We’re not trying to put Katie in a better situation,” said Katie’s mother “We’re just asking to finish what she started.”

CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green countered with two rebuttals and feels the focus and celebration should be on Lutheran for establishing a girls softball team.

“My answer is the state statutes are clear that if your school offers a program that you participate at that school, which I 100% agree with because you are a student first,” she said.

Her second reason is that all softball players who attend Lutheran should want to be a part of a grassroots start-up team, help establish a program and be a representative of their school.

Lutheran has hired former Chaparral assistant Glen Maestretti as its first head coach, and the school has no thoughts of demanding that Katie would not finish her softball career at Rock Canyon.

“We are not out to disrupt anything,” said Lutheran Athletic Director Mark Duitsman. “We simply want what’s best for our students while also making decisions about what’s best for our school.

“We do have a number of current students who play softball at other schools, and we have been and continue to be their biggest fans whether they are playing for Lutheran or for a different school. We are here to serve and support our students and community and that will always be a core value for us.”

Honor roll Each week, performances of south metro athletes and teams will be highlighted. This week’s performances were selected from games, matches and meets from Oct. 24-31.

Junior Kalen Shoemaker of Legend completed 21 of 40 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-34 football win over Doherty on Oct. 25. Senior Blake Rarog rushed for 103 yards and caught seven passes for 130 yards in the game.

Lutheran senior Payton Brgoch had 11 kills, a 64.7 kills percentage and a .529 hit percentage in a 3-0 volleyball sweep over St. Mary’s Academy on Oct. 24.

GRIT Sometimes it’s not the physical pain. It’s the mental challenge of facing it again. I’ve been there. So I know how Momo felt when he twisted his foot at soccer practice and then slammed it again at baseball. At Children’s Colorado, he had an elite recovery team and a custom-built plan to bring him back stronger than before. But only one person could get him back on the field, giving his all. Momo. And that takes grit.

Thanks for inspiring me, Momo.
