SEE DOG PARK, P3

The sentiment at a community meeting was overwhelmingly in favor of the Evergreen Park & Recreation District moving forward with creating an off-leash dog park inMuchEvergreen.ofthe audience of more than 100 at a Sept. 1 meeting applauded loudly when Betsy Rich, founder of Friends of Evergreen Dog Park, said it’s been ﬁve years since Jeffco Open Space closed the Elk Meadow dog park, and the organization was willing to help EPRD in every way it could to open a new one.However, a neighbor of the proposed 36-acre parcel east of Fillius Park said EPRD had not provided adjacent property owners information, especially concerning trafﬁc and environmental issues, such as whether dog waste would contaminate their wells. He said Fillius Park already experiences issues with dog waste and off-leash dogs where they’re not supposed to be, and the proposed dog park would exacerbate the problems. A few others felt EPRD was moving too slowly in opening a dog park,

Motivators. Educators. Workers. More than 75 residents in the Evergreen, Elk Creek and InterCanyon fire districts have stepped up to be what are called community ambassadors, finding ways to motivate their neighbors to mitigate their properties to be more prepared in case of wildfire. The fire departments always are looking for more people to step up to become ambassadors.While each community ambassador has a different reason for getting involved in the program, all agree about the necessity of the grassroots efforts to mitigate private property. Evergreen and Conifer are considered the No. 1 location for a catastrophic wildfire in the country. It’s not if a wildfire will take place; it’sWithwhen.government agencies such as Denver Mountain Parks and Jeffco Open Space making mitigation a priority on their properties in the foothills, and grant funding from a variety of sources helping pave the way, it’s time for homeowners to step up, too. To aid homeowners, the fire departments have crews dedicated to chipping slash and staff members performing two types of home assessments: short defensible-

Community comments Karen Morales, a FEDP board member, noted that the neighbors’ concerns needed to be addressed, so their fears are allayed. “(An off-leash dog park) is a community asset that we are trying to bring back to Evergreen,” she said. “We want this to be a win-win for all.”Another speaker was concerned that with the low number of memberships, many in Evergreen including new residents would never be able to use the dog park. Speakers agreed that dog parks are social experiences as much for the dog owners as for the canines, something that has been missing since the Elk Meadow dog park closed.

FROM PAGE 1 DOG PARK

The Evergreen Park & Recreation District is considering operating an o -leash dog park in Evergreen. BY DEB HURLEY BROBST suggesting the rec district could immediately create a temporary dog park on two acres in Buchanan Park.EPRD plans to get public feedback in the next several weeks, and the EPRD board is expected to vote at its Sept. 27 meeting on whether to move forward with creating a dog park. The proposal According to EPRD staff, Jeffco Open Space has offered EPRD up to $1 million to purchase the privately owned parcel and up to $200,000 for construction costs. The area would be entirely fenced with a buffer area between the dog park and neighboringOfhomes.the36 acres, about 25 acres would be accessible to hikers and dogs. The property is east of both Fillius Park and the Xcel Energy substation on the north side of Evergreen Parkway. EPRD Executive Director Cory Vander Veen explained that the initial proposal would be to offer 300 family memberships costing $150 yearly for the first dog and an additional $50 yearly for a second dog. Cameras would be at the entrance, and members would have fobs or another way to access the dog park. The number of memberships likely would increase, and EPRD would create a lottery or first-comefirst-served system to sell the memberships.Revenue would pay for a park ranger who would spend about 60% of his or her time patrolling the dog park. The three trails planned on the property also would be ADA accessible.Atfirst,35 to 40 parking spots would be located along the access road into the dog park. Users would access the park by turning north at the traffic light by the Evergreen King Soopers and driving past Fillius Park and the Xcel substation. Waste disposal stations would be located throughout the park, and paid staff would empty and restock stations, with regular cleanup events by volunteers. EPRD would monitor cleanliness, erosion, weeds, trail surfaces and the entryway. If all goes well at the dog park, EPRD could eventually add a shelter, restroom, picnic tables, parking lot and more trails. If the dog park failed, the land would revert to other recreational activities. If the EPRD board authorizes moving forward with the dog park, it would need to follow Jeffco Planning & Zoning procedures, starting with the required community meeting, potentially in October or November. If EPRD gets county commissioner approval, then it would plan to make improvements to the property in the spring.

Motivating residents Ambassadors said they hope residents understand the need for mitigation, but they still get a variety of responses. Some don’t understand what needs to be done, believe mitigation means cutting down all trees, which isn’t the case, can’t do the work themselves or can’t afford to have the work done. Some ambassadors orchestrate community mitigation days where everyone gets together to help other property owners, chipping days where homeowners put their slash by the side of the road for chipping, and in Conifer, one ambassador had a slash train where residents with pickup trucks and trailers move along roads to collect slash. Some ambassadors host community meetings, have tables are community gatherings, present information at homeowners association meetings, erect signs along roads or simply talk one-on-one with neighbors.Leonoted that he speaks to many newer residents here who are willing to learn and start mitigation. What works for him is cutting slash and limbing trees on his own property because neighbors see him and want to know more. “A lot of people are surprised they can keep a lot of trees between five and 30 feet from their homes, but they need to consider limbing up trees and raking out pine needles to help keep them from catching fire,” McKenna said. On many properties, the idea is to look for more low-hanging fruit because starting some mitigation somewhere is better than not starting anywhere. That is the message that Jess Moore, Evergreen Fire/ Rescue’s reduction risk coordinator, brings to groups regularly. Moore reminds homeowners that they can start with something simple like clearing pine needles from around the house and from gutters. Maintaining a five-foot noncombustible zone around the home isSheimportant.emphasizes this point as she works with ambassadors and hopes to recruit more volunteers — one from each neighborhood in Evergreen — to become part of ambassadors plan-unit groups to help get the wildfire-mitigation word out. “Fire will happen,” Moore said. “It’s our responsibility to create an environment on our properties, so fire can move through without destroying it.”

ing.“They are willing to dedicate time to bring these services to their communities,” McConnaughey said. “We appreciate everything they do.” The fire departments equip the ambassadors with information they can impart to other homeowners about the importance of mitigation and how to do it. Why they’re ambassadors Byrne McKenna, the ambassador for the North Turkey Creek area in the Evergreen Fire Protection District, was an ambassador before they were called ambassadors. He also is an Evergreen volunteer firefighter, so helping his neighbors perform fire-mitigation work is vital. When neighbors band together, they can get a lot done. McKenna said of the 400 homes in his plan unit, he figures 15% have completed mitigation while 70% have started.

Being an ambassador takes time, they said, but it’s a labor of love. Some ambassadors create a team to help cover all of the neighborhoods in their plan unit. Homeowners associations also help because they have contact information for members.“(Ambassadors) are the face of their community and a good link between their community and the fire districts,” said Kelleigh McConnaughey, wildfire mitigation specialist for Inter-Canyon and Elk Creek fire departments. “They provide a voice for the community and can bring issues to us. They are essentially motivators, finding other motivated people to essentially come to a community-wide goal of mitigation, which is really what the wildland division is striving toward when it comes to wildfire and community safety.”Shenoted that the volunteer hours the ambassadors put in are amaz-

For Al Leo, who moved to Silver Ranch South in Conifer in 2019, the pandemic gave him time to learn about wildfire mitigation and forest health.“Being an ambassador seemed to me like a good mix of things,” Leo said. “It’s a way to give back to the community, something that is worthwhile and making an impact where we live. Then the other part of it is a belief or a passion that if we can get neighbors motivated and work together and chip away at the stone, we can make a difference. If communities band together, we can make a difference in lowering the risk.”Heather McGaughey and Elizabeth Campbell became ambassadors for the Swede Gulch and El Rancho area after attending a meeting at Evergreen Fire/Rescue. They say their idea is to start small, beginning with the residents on their road and then expanding to other roads and neighborhoods.ForMcGaughey, preparing the area in case of wildfire is important because she lost a home in a wildfire in California in 2017, and she wants to make sure area residents don’t go through the same horrible tragedy. Campbell, who has lived in Evergreen since 1994, remembers how terrifying the Buffalo Creek Fire was.Shirley Johnson, the ambassador for Silver Ranch in Conifer, explained that this was a critical time for the area regarding wildfire prevention.“Somany don’t understand why this is important and what needs to be done,” she said. “We need to educate and work together to make a difference.”

A little collaboration has helped a Conifer neighborhood tackle wildfireThat’smitigation.whyThe Homestead neighborhood has created HEAT — Homestead Emergency Action Team — to encourage neighbors to do the work to make their homes less susceptible to wildfire. Earlier this summer, HEAT worked with CORE Electric to get some of the slash chipped. CORE volunteers brought a truck and chipper on a Saturday, and moved from home to home — 29 in all —around The Homestead to get rid of slash piles. “We have found the biggest challenge is getting rid of the slash,” said Jackie White, who organized the wood-chipping event. “We reached out to CORE to help, and there was no hesitation. They said they were here to help. It’s really impressive.”Whitesaid having a slash-chipping day helped create momentum to get the work done in the neighborhood.MikeKaine with CORE Electric said he and his staff were happy to volunteer to do the work and glad the staff was creating relationships with neighbors. He hopes CORE will be able to do more chipping work, noting that wildfire is a concern for the electric company as it is for residents.Thegoal of HEAT is to improve safety awareness for the subdiviproperties, and it was convenient to said. “We don’t want that happening

The foothills are awash in piles and piles of slash, and Jefferson County is thrilled to take care of them.Jeffco’s SLASH — Sustainable Lands and Safer Homes — program collects and chips slash from residents and takes it to a Denver company called A1 Organics that dyes and sells it. The changes in this year’s slash program are making it wildly successful, according to Jeffco’s Matt Robbins, who is in charge of the “Weprogram.haveseen resounding response, particularly in Evergreen and Conifer,” Robbins said. “We are seeing just a tremendous outpouring of people (dropping off slash), and that shows they get it. They understand the importance of wildfire mitigation, and the slash program is working.”Inpastyears, slash drop-offs were on weekends and the drop-off locations changed each week. This year, slash drop-off is available generally Thursday through Sunday, and the location remains the same several weeks in a row. This year, the program is running 23 weeks, and in the first 10 weeks, Robbins said, nearly 5 million pounds of slash have been dropped off. In all of 2021, Jeffco collected about 7 million pounds of slash. Robbins said people have been patient when they have had to wait in line, and they have followed the rules such as not bringing pine needles or other debris in plastic bags.Jefferson Conservation District workers are at the drop-off site, and Jeffco employees drive the slash down the hill. It costs $20 per load. In early August, drop-off was on Settlers Drive along U.S. 285, and workers there said the lot became so full of slash by Sunday that sometimes they had to close early. “Jeffco is not making a profit, but from where we are sitting, the benefit is the removal of wooded debris off of the foothills and getting it repurposed,” Robbins said.

Horner’s promotion to assistant principal will leave CHS without a learning specialist. He will continue to teach two study skills classes in addition to taking on assistant principal responsibilities including managing school testing and discipline.“I’mgoing to keep these classes and ensure those kids are supported until we ﬁgure out a way to support them better, and that’s going to be an ongoing conversation,” Horner said.

Conifer High School principal Wesley Paxton left the school Sept. 6 to become an interim community superintendent with Jeffco Public Schools.Paxton accepted the position at the end of August, resulting in changes to school administration.

Current assistant principal Gregory Manier has become interim principal, and CHS learning specialist Bradley Horner has become the school’s interim assistant principal.

“It’s deﬁnitely difﬁcult,” Paxton said of the changes. “I knew there would be a shock factor to it all when I found I got the job, but I try to reduce the anxiety because the administrative people I have coming in are great people, and they’re going to do a great job.”

Paxton has been the principal at CHS for nine years, and he replaced Mike Musick, who also left CHS in 2013 to work at the district ofﬁce. Paxton intends to remain active in the community by attending CHS sporting events and graduation this year.Asa Jeffco community superintendent, he will be responsible for training principals around the district on how to best support their schools.AsCHS administration adjusts to the new positions, there will be what Horner describes as a “trickle-down process,” in which the former administrator works with his successor during this transition period. “I appreciate all the kind words and concern that people are sharing with me, but we’re in a good place,” PaxtonManiersaid.has been an assistant principal at CHS for 10 years, working closely with Paxton.

ess than a week after I was part of a team that was chosen to provide federal lobbying services to the City of Aurora, Mayor Paul Tauer delivered his State of the City address. I woke up the next morning to Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News headlines that he’d used the speech to assail U.S. Sens. Hank Brown and Ben Campbell for not doing enough for Aurora. Before I’d had time to set up meetings with the senators’ staffs about how to work together, we were inSen.crisis.Brown was in Colorado. We scheduled a meeting for him and Tauer the next day. Tauer unrepentantly told him Aurora residents were fed up with getting less attention than people from Denver and as mayor it was his job to express their frustration. Even though Brown had never heard that message directly from Aurora ofﬁcials before, at the end of the meeting he apologized.Assoonas I got back to my car, I called my Washington-based colleague and said, “There’s something special about this guy.”

Paul Tauer fundamentally changed Aurora and its role and inﬂuence in the Denver metropolitan area and Colorado. Aurora is a better place for his service, and I was lucky to have had a front-row seat as his lobbyist for most of his term.

DONNA REARDON Marketing dreardon@coloradocommunitymedia.comConsultant

Paul Tauer passed last month at the age of 86. He was elected to Aurora City Council in 1979 and was mayor from 1987 until 2003. Throughout his tenure, he worked doggedly to improve things for Aurora and its people and to demand respect for Colorado’s third largest city. He never held back when he thought he or his city weren’t given their due. His disagreements with the Aurora Sentinel often led him to say, “I got a paper today. I need to line my birdcage.” His fights with Denver Mayor Wellington Webb were legendary. After Webb announced that he’d brokered a deal to allow the Nuggets and Avalanche to leave McNichols Arena for the to-be-built Pepsi Center, Tauer began a press conference the next day by opening and drinking a can of Coke.When a Washington official who was clearly unprepared for a meeting with us and Congressman Bob Beauprez left his office, Tauer succinctly said, “All hat, no cattle.”Themain reason Aurora retained us was to defend Fitzsimons Army Medical Center from closure. After congressional elections in 1994, it became obvious we would not succeed.Tauerdeftly continued the fight in public while beginning a behind-the-scenes effort to move the University of Colorado Medical School and Hospital to the site after the Army left. The relationships he developed with CU and Pentagon officials were instrumental to make it happen. He was largely responsible for turning the loss of Fitzsimons from an economic disaster to a remarkable economic-development victory to benefit Aurora and its residents for the foreseeable future.

Let’s also not forget the COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed at least 6.46 million people worldwide and sickened 597 million. That pandemic shows no sign of ending as the virus continues to evolve new variants. Meanwhile, the new global health emergency of monkeypox has been declared. And polio, once eliminated in this country, is back, thanks to people who aren’t vaccinated. What about America’s social fabric? According to a poll taken this summer by the New York Times, a majority of Americans surveyed now believe that our political system is too divided to solve the nation’s problems. The non-proﬁt Gun Violence Archive has documented 429 mass shootings so far this year in America, with “mass shootings” deﬁned as at least four people killed orMeanwhile,injured. the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade has led to a rapid and stark division of the country into states that permit abortions versus those that outlaw it. Republicans and Democrats increasingly live in separate media universes, with both sides concerned about the possibility of a civil war. I admit this is a staggering list of “damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale,” but I’m not ready to declare myself a citizen of the post-apocalypse. We don’t have to live there. Instead, let’s accept that humanity and the whole planet are “apocalypse-adjacent.” The apocalypse is before us and we can see it clearly. But the world is not yet ruined.Human beings do have this redeeming and also infuriating trait: We are at our most creative and cooperative when it is almost too late. We can — we must — pull each other back from the brink. To fail is to condemn our children to live in the hellscape of a dystopian video game. As they will tell you, that is no place to be.

ROMBERGGREG Columnist VOICES

Just about every video game, young adult novel and buzzworthy streaming series agree that we need to prepare for a post-apocalyptic world. Up ahead, around a sharp curve or off a cliff, it is waiting—The Apocalypse. Maybe not “the complete final destruction of the world,” but certainly “an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale,” to quote the two definitions in the Oxford Online Dictionary. Not yet, but soon. This has me wondering: How will we know when we move from pre- to post-apocalypse? This summer, my hometown in southern Oregon was crushed under a heat dome, sweltering in triple-digit temperatures. A fire across the state line ignited and within 24 hours exploded to become California’s largest wildfire this year soThefar. two mountain lakes that provide water to our valley orchards and vineyards are at 2% and 6% full, that is, 98% and 94% empty. Last year, an even more severe heat dome pushed temperatures in normally cool Seattle and Portland to record-shattering levels, wildfires burned more than a million acres in Oregon and 2000-year-old giant sequoias perished in fires of unprecedented severity in California’s Sierra watermajortheColoradohasAtoxicrecorded,theGreatingextremesNevada.Catastrophicarebecom-normal.TheSaltLakeisatlowestleveleverspawningduststorms.mega-droughtshriveledtheRiver,withbeginningofcutbacksindeliveriesto Arizona and Nevada. Elsewhere in the West, flooding devastated Yellowstone National Park in June, collapsing roads and leading to the evacuation of over 10,000 visitors. Widening our view, Dallas is currently inundated with what is described as a “1,000-year” flooding event, following similar flooding disasters in Las Vegas, St. Louis and Kentucky earlier this summer. Across the Atlantic, Europe was scorched by the highest temperatures ever recorded this summer, triggering massive wildfires, the collapse of a glacier in Italy and over 10,000 heat-related deaths. India, China and Japan experienced record heat waves this year. I could go on, but no doubt you have read the news, too, about climate-caused apocalyptic events. Closely related is the global extinction crisis, with over a million species at risk by the end of this century.

If you were anything like me, you read Anne of Green Gables at least once growing up. It is one of the most ubiquitous Englishlanguage classics, beloved by both parents and teachers. For any girl who liked to read and had even the slightest desire to write her own stories one day, being compared to the heroine was inevitable, and many of the series’ scenes, quotes, and motifs have become instantly recognizable hallmarks of popular culture.

The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery , 1926

One potential downside of a series and character achieving that kind of worldwide, lasting popularity is that such success tends to overshadow an author’s other works. This has been the case for L. M. Montgomery, whose books written with an older audience in mind tend to be much less well known than her Anne books. On the other hand, this can make for an exciting moment of discovery when one happens upon a previously-unheard-of entry in a beloved author’s bibliography.TheBlueCastle contains several themes and elements which will be familiar to fans of Anne, including a protagonist whose di cult life is brightened by her lively imagination, comedic interludes centered on the meddling of older generations, and the deft weaving of heavy subject matter into what is essentially a lighthearted story. However, there is also plenty of new ground broken, making for a book that should appeal not only to lifelong Montgomery fans, but to rst-time readers of her work as well.

Elizabeth Edwards has found what she calls the holy grail of antiques. She acquired a 214-piece set of Enoch Woods Castles china — a very rare ﬁnd — from Humphrey History On Aug. 26, she and her mom, Katherine Gorshow, drove to the museum to wrap and box up the china to take “I’m going to love it like a member of my family,” Edwards said. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime ﬁnd.” Edwards and others visited the museum to pick up the items they purchased online as the museum, which closed thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, is liquidating

Finding joy in dinnerware

CONIFER – Hoping to sample the true flavor of the American frontier, Antoine and Antoinette rented a cabin among the pines. What the leasing agent neglected to tell the French couple is that a neighboring forest-dweller, Maverick, is over-fond of drink and vehemently opposed to short-term rentals in his neck of the woods. On the night of Aug. 12, Antoine and Antoinette heard a ruckus outside. Antoine went outside to discover Maverick spinning his truck tires in the gravel driveway and approached to see if he could assist. Maverick leapt from his vehicle and gave Antoine a two-fisted howdy. “You have no right to be here!” screamed Maverick, wading in. “Leave now!” Thing is, Maverick is an American of below-average size and stature, while Antoine is a veritable Bastille of a man. Antoine instantly and easily threw a restraining hold on Maverick and yelled for Antoinette to notify the gendarmerie. When responding deputies remarked on the marks on Maverick’s mug. Antoine explained, with interpretive help from Antoinette, that he’d been forced to sock the wildly thrashing Maverick a couple of times to settle him down. As bon chance would have it, Antoinette caught most of the action on her cell phone, which recorded Antoine pleading with Maverick, in French, to surrender peacefully, and saying “I’m sorry!” to him, in English, with each blow. Deputies noted in their report that Antoine is a very congenial person, that he clearly struck Maverick in self-defense only, and that he’d obviously pulled his punches since “a man of his size…could have seriously hurt or even killed” Maverick with fists alone. Antoine and Antoinette refused to press charges against Maverick, saying “he’s just drunk” and they “don’t want him to get in trouble.” Maverick didn’t choose to pursue charges against Antione at that time, vowing to settle the Frenchman’s hash later “in civil court.” Alms reduction ASPEN PARK – The scene was grim. It was the afternoon of Aug. 8, and the outdoor table where the panhandler sat was covered with his blood, his face masked in gore that continued to pour from the gash on top of his head. As paramedics treated his injury, Panhandler told deputies he’d barely begun strumming his ukulele for cashrich passersby when the property manager told him he’d have to move on. Panhandler did move on, and then moved back, at which point Manager’s exhortations became more forceful. Piecing together competing testimonies and a smattering of witness statements, officers surmised that the confrontation had turned violent, that Panhandler got the worst of it, and that Manager had likely crossed the line into harassment. Panhandler further accused Manager of stealing his phone, a charge Manager denied and for which deputies could find no evidence. Manager was issued a summons for harassment, and Panhandler finally moved on. Tension headache EVERGREEN – We’ve all been there. While grocery shopping on Aug. 7, Gallant rounded a corner to find Goofus and his cart parked in the middle of the aisle. When Goofus made no move to clear the road, Gallant “tried to squeeze past him,” brushing up against Goofus with his own cart in passing. Furious at the uninvited contact, Goofus “cut me off” and “pushed me with both hands” and “hit me in the shoulder,” Gallant said. It was Gallant’s turn to be furious, and he followed Goofus into the parking lot and wrote down his license plate number. Upon reflection, however, Gallant asked that officers give Goofus a pass, saying the man’s pathetic public petulance was probably “due to COVID tensions.” Deputies cleared the case.

If your Estate Plans don’t accommodate your new family members, they may do nothing but complicate things further.

How can we improve and prepare our Estate Plans to care for everyone?

Sincerely, Beth Blended Family Dear Beth Blended Family, Congratulations on your new marriage! Additions like that can be exciting and lead to a long and happy life together. However, there are certainly things we need to take into consideration when it comes to blended family. Blended families can cause worry and difﬁculty when it comes to passing on your Estate. This includes unintended inheritance, unintended disinheritance, confusion, and even ﬁghting amongst families. All of these things are easily avoidable with proper planning! When bringing children to a new marriage, spouses should always talk about what their expectations are, and how they want their Estates to pass. Leaving behind old Estate Plans (both a Will and Trust) without any revisions, can result in things such as an ex-spouse inheriting, or a new spouse (and their children) being disinherited. Of course, this is only a short list of what can happen. You will want to make sure that your Estate Plans are updated to accommodate everyone in your happy new family. The list below includes just a few things you may want to change or amend:

Wood riddance KITTREDGE – Although long dead and bone dry, the ponderosa was a beauty, 65 feet tall and standing straight at attention. And when it ﬁnally blew down not long ago, the property owner couldn’t wait to “make a beam out of it.” Thing was, when he went to re-survey the toppled titan on Aug. 9, all that was left were sad little piles of sawdust and one big lost opportunity. Deputies investigating the disappearance chatted up a neighbor who recalled hearing “a chainsaw cutting wood” on the complainant’s property a couple of weeks prior, and had looked out to see a man he thought he recognized as a mutual acquaintance loading pieces of the pine into the back of his blue pickup truck. The complainant asked deputies to charge Mutual Acquaintance with theft. Under questioning, Mutual Acquaintance told deputies he has plenty of his own trees to cut down if it’s wood he wants, that he doesn’t own a blue pickup truck, and that if he had that much ﬁreplace fodder stacked in his yard the deputies would already know it. Deputies let the case lie where it fell.

Conifer boys soccer is back, and in winning their ﬁrst four games of the season, the Lobos have already beaten their previous season’s record, which was a crushing 1-13-1. With the strong 6-0 win against Wideﬁeld Aug. 20, the 3-2 overtime win against Alameda Aug. 24, the 1-0 win over Englewood on Aug. 30 and the 9-0 win on Sept. 1 against Weld Central, the team is looking forward to a strong season.

Grant Kirklin jumps into the air above all the Alameda players in an attempt to head the ball as it’s served across the ﬁeld.

BY AMELIA HOBGOOD AND ELLIE CHASE CONIFER HIGH SCHOOL

While Kirklin may be a great player, as the saying goes, there is no “I” in “team.” Every player has developed and grown over the past couple of years. Conifer started with an incredibly young team and had very few victories, but the hard work is paying off as the team ages and“Thisimproves.isthebeauty of taking young players and having a progressive program and still continuing to develop,” Wooldridge said. “Staying with the program just shows that we can turn things around and become stronger and stronger.”

Conifer soccer makes a comeback

“It’s always about playoffs, and this year I think we have a chance,” Wooldridge said.

Junior Michael Loebe looks to strike the ball upﬁeld. Loebe was fouled in the last 3 minutes of the second half and had to come out of the game due to his injury but contributed greatly to Conifer during the time he played.

“I think it’s gonna be one of the best seasons we’ve had in a while, so hopefully we will make it to playoffs,” senior Maddox Rife said. The Lobos started the game against Alameda in a 3-4-3 formation but were matched fairly well. Neither team could maintain possession throughout the first half, but there were various shots on goal for bothAfterteams.ahard battle, 24 minutes in, Rife managed to find the back of the net, putting the Lobos into a 1-0 lead. However, their intensity dropped off after they scored the first goal. Alameda took advantage of the relaxed play and scored a goal 11 minutes later, tying the game at halftime.“Westarted slow. We weren’t finding feet and playing as dynamic, and we didn’t do our high press as we needed to,” said coach Jason Wooldridge.Duringhalftime, Wooldridge talked to the players about increasing their energy and getting back into this game. With various fouls, injuries and a missed penalty from Alameda in the second half, the game was still tied. It took another Alameda goal to turn the team back on. With only nine minutes left after Alameda’s goal, Conifer was forced to give everything it had to level the game. Its intensity built up multiple plays until Grant Kirklin scored with two minutes left in the game. Using the momentum, junior Dak Reynolds scored off a rebound from the keeper with only 38 seconds left in the match, putting Conifer ahead. But due to an offsides call, the ref took back the goal, sending the two teams into an extra 10 minutes of overtime to determine the victor. With everything on the line, the intensity was high. After fighting long and hard, Conifer managed to get its well-earned goal, when Rife scored his fourth goal of the season with only 2:34 remaining. “We always turn things back around at overtime. We reacted appropriately and kept the high pressure,” Wooldridge said. With such a tough season last year, things finally seem to be turning around for Conifer. Its improvement is partially due to senior Grant Kirklin, who returned to play with Conifer this season after playing for the competitive club Real over the past few years to be scouted for college. However, Kirklin wanted to return home to the Conifer team for his senior year. Kirklin has exceptional skills on the ball and good recognition of space.

The Lobos have high hopes for the rest of the season. Their main goal is to make it to playoffs. Though it will be challenging, the team has the drive to win.

Sophomores Rhoan Bruneau and Tagg Reynolds smile in victory as their team walks o the ﬁeld. “It was a good game, really exciting, especially towards the end,” Bruneau said.

“It’s different coming back to Conifer and playing high school with the different play styles, but it’s deﬁnitely a lot better. It’s a lot more down-to-earth playing here than at a big club,” Kirklin said.

At Mango House in Aurora, such sentiment could not better describe the mission of P.J. Parmar, who began the organization in 2014 to provide resources — primarily low-cost health care — to refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants. It also serves as a marketplace, with a grocery store and several vendors preparing and selling fresh-made food from their home countries.“Mangoes are from everywhere our patients come from, but they are not from the U.S.,” said Parmar, whose family immigrated from India, where mangoes are cherished and abundant.

Parmar said he chose the name Mango House because he wanted something “tasty and fun” that paid homage to his patients and patrons. He said he sees people from a broad swath of countries and regions, including Nepal, Burma, Somalia, Iraq, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Ethiopia.

Some who come to Mango House do so for space to start their business. Currently, it is home to five small food stalls:

MANGO, P13 LOCAL LIFE

Urban Burma, known for its rice noodle bowls, curry and samosas; Jasmine Syrian Food, with cumin and lemon flavored hummus and chicken; Odaa Ethiopian Restaurant, providing an abundance of flavorful meats and vegetables; Nepali Mountain Kitchen, serving up warm curry and momo; and Golden Sky Sushi, which offers a fusion of Japenese and other Asian cuisines.“All my tenants are my patients,” Parmar said. “I like to SEE

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For many, mangoes are defined by bright colors, aromatic flavor and embodiment of the sunsoaked tropics. But for some Denver-area business owners, the fruit is also a sense of identity, cultural connection and one’s openness to the new. From a refugee resource center offering an array of dinein cuisines to a dessert bar fusing traditional Hong Kong sweets with Western styles, the mango serves as a token of the wider world for a land-locked metropolitan area.

Symbol for a mission For Marc Corona, who runs Mango Tree Coffee in Englewood, mangoes serve as a form of expression for the business’ larger mission.Abranch of MANNA Worldwide — a global nonproﬁt network that works with organizations in 50 countries — all proceeds from Mango Tree go back into MANNA’s efforts to ﬁght global poverty, which include building schools and food centers and expanding access to water, education and job opportunities.

The dessert bar, offering roughly 30 meals and 20 drinks, imbues the sweet and citruslike flavors of mango into nearly all its cuisine. The signature dessert is modeled after a traditional Hong Kong favorite and consists of mango ice cream, fresh fruit, juice and soba — edible starch pearls that Kuo said have been eaten “way, way, way before boba.”

A vegetable plate — served at Odaa Ethiopian Restaurant — consisting of lentils curry, carrots, cabbage, potatoes, beets and salad served with injera bread.

Mangoes, Kuo said, are “in every corner of Hong Kong,” and that dessert, in particular, is a beloved treat.

Emma Mo, a co-owner of Mango Mango in Denver, presents a plate of sticky rice and fresh mango at the store Aug. 23.

“A lot of people like mango and I think it’s a perfect fit (for our shop),” Kuo said.

FROM PAGE 12 MANGO

The shop also serves flavors for other desserts that include matcha, durian and taro.

Mango Mango offers a pallet of other sweet treats, some of which are inspired by more Western foods such as a layered crepe cake with mango cream filling or fresh-baked waffles drizzled with chocolate and cold mango chunks.

For business owner Robert Kuo, who co-owns Mango Mango Desserts in Denver, bringing customers the tastes of Asia drove him to open his shop. “I think people like to come to try new things,” said Kuo, who opened the store in 2019 alongside his business partner, Emma Mo.Founded in Flushing, New York, Mango Mango has since been franchised to several locations across the U.S. Kuo, who immigrated from Taiwan at age 5, said he fell in love with the business after first trying it in Flushing and sought to open one in Denver because, at the time, he saw no “truly Asian dessert places.”

Canyon Courier 13September 8, 2022 think what we do is unique.”

Siri Tan, who began serving Burmese cuisine from his stall — Urban Burma — in 2019, said without Mango House “we wouldn’t exist.” Tan said he “wanted to introduce Burmese cuisine into the Denver area” and, through a patchwork of cooking education that included recipe books, online videos and tips from the Burmese community, he made that dream a reality. “I love Asian food, all kinds of Asian food,” Tan said. “When I hear that people like our food, that’s what makes me happy.” For Parmar, he hopes the food of Mango House can offer an invitation for Coloradans to explore something new and build relations with their immigrant neighbors. “I’d like to think we aren’t just preaching to the choir, with our restaurant-goers already loving refugees,” Parmar said. “I do think, occasionally, someone — adult or even a child — who has doubts towards foreigners is brought as part of a group, and their eyes are opened a bit when they are here. At least their mouths, or palates, are opened.”

And it’s not just mango that’s on the menu.

Some of these come in the form of warm dishes, popular during the winter, Kao said. Others, such as bright green durian pancake rolls and purple-powdered taro cakes, present a unique and inviting option for customers — though these desserts are more subtle and savory compared with the reliable sweetness of the mango counterparts.

Corona said the coffee shop’s name harkens to a MANNA trip in 2002 when community members gathered under a mango tree in Kenya to discuss anti-poverty programs for the area.“As we’ve built Mango Tree, that’s the mindset that we have, creating a space where everybody feels welcome and can be a part of something bigger than themselves,” Corona said.Opened in June 2021, Mango Tree roasts its coffee in-house and offers a reliable cafe menu complete with espresso-based drinks, chai and teas.But one standout item is the mango shot, a blend of mango chunks, keﬁr — a fermented dairy product — and spices. “I think one of the main aspects that drives what we do is this sort of passion and drive to have fun,” Corona said. “Having a mango shot was just another way to create that experience forPeoplepeople.”are at the heart of Mango Tree’s ethos, Corona said, and outside of providing assistance to global poverty-ﬁghting efforts, the business also strives to be an advocate locally.Mango Tree partners with area churches and other organizations to provide packed lunches to Englewood Schools students, a complement to the district’s free and reduced lunch program.“We want to be an asset to the community,” Corona said, adding that the coffee shop also serves as a gathering space, much as its namesake mango tree did 20 years ago. “It’s cool to see the community have the same mindset as we do of ‘hey, we like to do things together.’”

The list provides key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health, which helps lower risk of heart diseases, stroke and other major health problems. In unveiling the 2022 list, the AHA had some new items and guidance for others, including new suggestions for diet and adding sleep. The Life’s Essential 8 list if comprised of two major areas –Health behaviors and health factors.

4. GET HEALTHY SLEEP – Sleep is a new addition to the Essential 8 list in 2022. It is estimated that adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Children require more through nighttime rest and naps.

By Thelma Grimes Colorado Community Media

The Essential 8 list includes:

1. EAT BETTER – According to the AHA, Americans should aim for an overall healthy eating pattern that includes whole foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, nuts, seeds and cooking non-tropical oils such as olive and canola.

2. BE MORE ACTIVE – Adults should get 2.5 hours of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. Kids should have 60 minutes every day, including play and structured activities.

A chieving optimal heart health in the U.S. is not looking promising as Americans continue to lose ground. According to a recent study published by the American College of Cardiology, or ACC, only 6.8% of American adults have achieved optimal heart health. It breaks down ﬁ ve key areas that affect heart health:• sugar Blood pressure disease

TIPS TO A HEART-HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

The study, done in conjunction with the American Heart Association, analyzed data from a National Health and SEE HEART HEALTH, P5

8. MANAGE BLOOD PRESSURE – Keeping blood pressure within acceptable ranges can keep a person healthier longer. Levels less than 120/80 are optimal. High blood pressure is deﬁned as 130-139 for the top number and 80-89 for the bottom number. To learn more about the American Heart Association’s recommendations for maintaining a healthy heart and lifestyle, visit the website at heart.org.Toﬁndout what your heart score is currently, visit mlc.heart.org.

7. MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR – Most of the food American eat turns into glucose, which is the sugar that the body uses as energy.

Even as more information and education is coming along to redevelop guidelines to achieve optimal heart health, Park said busy people are struggling to meet all ﬁ ve key areas. When it comes to diet, Park said Americans are busy and constantly on the go. That means more fast, easy food.

• Health and repairing skin cells, tissues and blood vessels

To get what is considered by medical professionals as a “healthy” night’s sleep, it is recommended that adults get between seven and nine hours. Children require more at 10 to 16 hours per day with night and naptime.

The result of a lack of sleep is not just tired people, it is now being associated with poor hearth health. According to AHA, poor sleep can put a person at higher risk for:

Diet and exercise

• Cardiovascular disease

“It is hard to just tell someone to stop doing something they have formed a habit to,” he said. “Instead of just stopping, I encourage people to just start cutting back, taking less.”

A marathon, not a sprint Park said a common disconnect between doctor and patient is people thinking they have to change lifestyle and everything they are eating and doing all at once.

Park said this mentality leads to failure because a person cannot make lifestyle changes in only a day.

FROM PAGE 4 HEART HEALTH

When it comes to exercise, Park says it is important to take small steps towards achieving big goals. A person can take short walks and runs that will help lead up to exercise and ﬁ tness goals over a short period of time. Park said people often say they do not have time for exercise, which he stresses cannot be completely true.

Park said one of the common struggles between patient and doctor is getting on a realistic plan both can live“Aswith.aphysician, in general, you can tell your patients to do something but it comes down to if they will listen.”

• Depression • Elevated blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels • Obesity On the other hand, putting a priority on getting enough rest, according to the AHA, can help with:

• Having a stronger immune system•Improving mood and energy

Every year, the AHA updates what is known as Life’s Essential 8, which are key measures for improving and maintaining heart health. Making the 2022 list for the ﬁ rst time is sleep, which Park said should be considered as Americans grow more tired.

Instead, Park said people should listen to their doctors and start implementing the recommendations slowly.

“Everyone has some time somewhere,” he said. “I waste plenty of time when I think about it.”

Vermont was ranked as the nation’s unhealthiest sleep state. Pennsylvania was ranked on the opposite end of the list as the nation’s healthiest sleep state.

• Better brain function

A constant on the heart health lists from multiple organizations is healthy eating and exercise.The AHA stresses that developing a healthy eating pattern can increase heart health. Besides eating smaller portions in general, the AHA recommends a heavy dose of vegetables and fruits every day, along with limiting sweetened drinks, alcohol and sodium.Avoiding trans-fat is also recommended.When it comes to his patients, Park said diet is a constant discussion for patients suffering from heart disease and having other issues.The second continuous discussion is exercise. According to the AHA, adults should get a weekly total of at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity.

According to a recent study released by countingsheep.net, Colorado is one of the states struggling to get enough sleep, ranking 23rd. The study was created through analyzing county health rankings and Google search data. Some of the data to rank each state is based on how many people attempt to treat insomnia with medications.Accordingto the study, overall, in the past year, 30% of Coloradans have not got sufﬁ cient sleep each night, which is over 1.7 million adults. Based on Google search data, it was found that these insufﬁ cient sleepers have searched for sleep medication online 203,760 times over the past year. This indicated 11% of Coloradans who suffer from insomnia treat the condition with sleep medication, ranking the state’s residents as the 23rd unhealthiest sleepers in America.

“We are on the go and eating out a lot more,” he said. “That also translates to not having enough time for exercise and we are not getting enough sleep.” Sleep a newer key factor

“Sleep is highly important, but I have to admit, even doctors have a lack of sleep,” Park said. “Being well rested makes a huge difference. It is associated with sleep apnea and obesity. Everything, when it comes to the heart, is really interconnected. It also just allows the body to reset.”

• Cognitive decline and dementia

When it comes to eating, Park said this is one of the biggest struggles in making lifestyle changes. When a person is used to the fast-food line every day, taking small steps to realign habits is important.

Nutrition Examination Survey of more than 55,000 U.S. adults over the age of 20 from 1999 to 2018. The data revealed that many Americans meet at least one of the ﬁ ve identiﬁ ed risk factors, leading to potential risk for heart attack or heart failure, stroke or other associated complications such as Type 2 diabetes.Dr. Jeffrey Park, a cardiologist with Aurora Denver Cardiology at The Medical Center of Aurora, said the study results are eye-opening.“Americain general has been experiencing a decline in optimal heart health for some time,” Park said. “It may be surprising but it is also a matter of what we know now compared to what we knew from the past. We learn more as these risk factors are included in the equation.”

Geva said parents can create down time by encouraging a child to just go to the grocery store for a bit, go for a calm, relaxing walk or even stress the importance of play time. “It’s important to do activities that have no real objectives,” Geva said. “Helping to give the child a connection and letting them know they are OK.” While managing activities and time for elementary students is easier, Geva said overseeing how much high schoolers are relaxing and destressing can be more of a challenge.Gevasaid regular communication and encouragement is important for teenagers. For parents, cutting a child a break is also important, Geva said. “If a child is really wanting to shift, change or quit an activity – listen to them,” Geva said. “Allow them to adjust to do what is really best for them.”

“It is important in that child/parent relationship to establish a routine,” she said. “Make it a habit to keep hanging out and doing things together. Do not get into a habit of only talking to them when there is a problem.”

Geva said other students worry differently. These are the students who may not have had a bad year last year but worry about the unknown, stressing about what could happen and thinking the“Itworst.isnot uncommon to have a student have more anxiety by creating things that could go wrong and really thinking the worst in their minds,” Geva said. For these students, Geva said it’s important to communicate with children and talk them through the created anxiety. Emphasize that the horrible things they are imagining in their minds are likely never going to become reality. These days, students are worried about grades and meeting expectations. They worry about doing well in athletics and participating in various programs. As pressures mount, Geva said a student can stay stressed out and anxious throughout the school year.

By nature, Geva said girls are encouraged and naturally tend to express themselves and show emotion. “Boys are a little more tricky,” she said. “It is really a societal thing, and every age is different. It is always important to check in and ask questions regularly.”Forany child, Geva said parents should grow concerned if a child is suddenly displaying different character traits or having abrupt changes in mood.Having an established relationship will help parents identify and react when children are struggling.

As the school year continues, Geva said parents should also promote structured schedules, regular bedtimes and push for good hygiene and eating habits.Through communication, reasonable expectations and check-ins, Geva said stress and anxiety cannot be completely eliminated for students, but it can be dealt with regularly. Parents can be proactiveallyear

When it comes to grades and expectations, Geva said parents should keep up with children and have set standards and expectations. However, she recommended only checking grades sporadically to keep tabs on a student rather than“Childrendaily. really do want independence,” Geva said. “But for parents, checking grades sporadically, doing routine check-ins with teachers and keeping in touch with other parents can keep you informed about your child.”

“When you hear news, confront (your child),” Geva said. “Tell them the news you have heard from other parents.”

Geva said throughout the year, parents should often work toward doing mental health check-ins with both elementary and high-school level children. Working on time management skills and helping to manage required down time can also help relieve pressure and anxiety students feel today.

Having relationships with other parents is beneﬁcial, Geva said, because children often leave out details about the day. Having other parents talking and telling each other what is going on can help in keeping tabs on the daily activities of the class.

It is common when a new school year rolls around for students to be anxious and nervous, but experts agree that stress and worry can continue as the ﬁrst days turn into weeks andDr.months.AnatGeva, a clinical psychologist with the HealthONE Behavioral Health & Wellness Center, said the beginning of a school year can come with a variety of nerves.Some students may be worried that bad things from the previous year will happen again this year.

Geva said as students are getting more adjusted to the school year, parents can help stave off some anxiety by talking things out, stressing that something that happened during fall or winter break last year may not happen again this year. A bad grade from a class last year doesn’t mean it will happen again this year.

A child’s gender is also a factor in how much parents should be checking in with their children.

It may not be widely known that women face unique risk factors for stroke throughout their lifetime. Things like pregnancy, preeclampsia and chronic stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure, a leading cause of Cardiovascularstroke.disease, including stroke, is the leading cause of death among women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and 1 in 5 women will have a stroke. However, a large majority of strokes can be prevented.Caringfor yourself by understanding your risk factors can help reduce your risk for stroke and provide a better quality of life. Start managing your stroke risk with these tips from the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association: Monitor Your Blood Pressure

FAMILY FEATURES

The ﬁrst step you can take in reducing your risk for stroke is knowing your blood pressure and keeping it in a healthy range. High blood pressure is the No. 1 preventable cause of stroke, according to the American Heart Association.

Take Care of Your Mental Health Some stress is unavoidable but constant stress is not healthy. Chronic or constant stress may lead to high blood pressure and other unhealthy behavior choices, which can increase risk for stroke. Based on ﬁndings in a Stress in America 2020 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association, the top sources of stress are money, work, family responsibilities and health concerns. Managing your stress and blood pressure can improve your overall health and well-being. Reclaim control of your schedule and build in time to invest in your health. Find 10 minutes every day to do something for you, like listening to music, meditating or going for a walk Plan for Pregnancy

• Time to call 911 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 911 and get to a hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the ﬁrst symptoms appeared. Talk to your doctor about ways to improve your well-being and help prevent stroke. Find more wellness tips at stroke.org.

• Arm weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

In the United States, high blood pressure during pregnancy is becoming more common, according to the CDC, and medical conditions including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and blood clots during pregnancy all increase stroke risk during and immediately following a pregnancy.Managing conditions like high blood pressure before getting pregnant helps keep you and your baby healthy during pregnancy and beyond. In addition, your health during and immediately after a pregnancy can shape the lifelong health of you and your child. If you’re planning to become pregnant or are currently pregnant, it’s important to regularly monitor your blood pressure.

The best way to know your blood pressure is to have it measured at least once per year by a health care professional and regularly monitor it at home then discuss the numbers with a doctor. For most people, a normal blood pressure should be 120/80 mm HG or less. In addition to properly monitoring blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, eating healthfully and reducing or eliminating alcohol and tobacco usage can help control blood pressure. If you do develop high blood pressure, work with a health care professional on a plan to help manage it.

Abramczyk-Thill said which seat a child is sitting in should never about their age. It should always be about their size.

• Rear-facing seats from birth until ages 2 to 4, depending on weight and state law.

• Forward-facing car seat is not to be used for children until age 5, depending on weight and state law.

hether they are in elementary, high school or college, children and teenagers are always susceptible to getting hurt, so much so that injury designations are split by season in many hospitals. Amanda Abramczyk-Thill, the injury prevention education outreach coordinator at Children’s Hospital Colorado, said children and teens are always active and injuries come with the territory. From bumps and bruises from a simple bicycle crash to the more serious injuries related to a head bump –Abramczyk-Thill said parents should be constantly in tune with how their children are feeling and acting. Fall injuries In the fall, Abramczyk-Thill said it’s the start of the new school year and sports programs are getting back on track. Kids are playing at recess and the weather is still good enough for bike, scooter and evening activities. “In the fall, (hospitals/doctors) see an uptick in a variety of falls,” she said. “More kids are playing on the playgrounds at recess and sports gets going.”When it comes to elementary-school children, Abramczyk-Thill said the falls on the playground are not usually due to the equipment itself. Instead, it usually comes down to how it is being used. “You have cases where a child may be using equipment that is not quite for their age or size,” she said. “Or, you have cases where the children are using the equipment improperly and that leads to injury.”With playground equipment, besides the traditional scrapes and bruises, Abramczyk-Thill said hospitals see more arm and leg injuries. In sports, Abramczyk-Thill said there are a variety of injuries from everything from football and cheerleading to soccer. In recent years, hockey has also grown in Inpopularity.sports,Abramczyk-Thill said it might be surprising to learn that besides concussions, a common injury doctors see is to the Abramczyk-Thilleye. said in any sport, parents might consider getting protective eye gear for athletes in all sports. This should become as common as the helmet and mouth guards, she added. Learn the signs Because concussions receive the most media attention and are one of the injuries coaches and parents are more vigilant about, it is important to understand the signs and symptoms, especially the subtle ones no one expects.

Arm, leg and head injuries are often associated with the ice. Abramczyk-Thill said whether it is a child, teenager or adult, during the winter ice causes a wide variety of Abramczyk-Thillinjuries. said it is important to clear driveways, sidewalks and areas where children are most active during the winter. It is also important to teach safety to children when ice is present, meaning not walking and playing on it. Spring and summer In school, spring sports brings baseball, track and ﬁeld and softball, which comes with more head injuries, especially when an athlete is hit by a line drive.The warmer months also bring more outdoor activities, including riding ATVs, Abramczyk-ThillAbramczyk-Thillsaid.said a variety of ages ride ATVs and there are usually lax rules with wearing helmets and rules for passengers.Seeing ATV injuries from a passenger falling without a helmet is common, Abramczyk-Thill.

Abramczyk-Thill said a statistic that may surprise parents is the head injuries associated with sledding. Whether it’s a small hill in the neighborhood or a day trip to the mountains, she said sleds move at a quick speed and crashes often cause head injuries. Because of how hard a person can hit the ground in a crash, Abramczyk-Thill recommends requiring children to wear helmets while sledding. It has become more common in riding bikes, scooters and other equipment, and AbramczykThill said sledding should be added to the“Alist.lot of us grew up without wearing a helmet and, especially for something like sledding, we may not even think about it,” Abramczyk-Thill said. “It’s just important to protect your brain because you only have one.”

Abramczyk-Thill said all of these signs can come over days, not immediately after a head injury. According to the Centers for Disease Control, other symptoms of a concussion include:

Abramczyk-Thill said concussions are a common theme throughout the year, and doctors see a lot during the winter months.While they see some sports injuries with falls and hits for indoor sports such as basketball and wrestling, the bulk of injuries can come form outside play.

Because of the variety of symptoms someone with a concussion might show, Abramczyk-Thill said it is important to know the child well and be weary of any sudden changes in the following:

Abramczyk-Thill explained that if a child is not big enough to be sitting in a seat with just a seatbelt, their knees do not quite reach properly over the edge of the seat. In the event of a crash, their bodies tend to slip under the seatbelt restraints and serious injuries can happen.

• Are they getting confused easily and showing cognitive issues?

• Inability to recall events prior to or after a hit or fall

The CDC reported that when it comes to car crashes, a large number of child deaths and injuries are due to improper restraints. In 2019, more than 600 children 12 and younger died in motor vehicle crashes, and more than 91,000 were injured. Of the children 12 and younger who died in a crash (for whom restraint use was known), 38% were not buckled up. Parents and caregivers can make a lifesaving difference by checking whether their children are properly buckled on every trip.

CDC recommendations include:

“There are some common myths out there,” she said. “One of those being that they will show symptoms right away. Signs and symptoms can be delayed.”

• Appears dazed and stunned • Moves clumsily • Answers questions slowly • Loses consciousness • Nausea or vomiting • Bothered by light or noise Winter injuries

• Mood – Are they more irritable and irrational?

• Are they complaining of headaches?

CHILDREN AND TEENS ARE ALWAYS SUSCEPTIBLE TO GETTING HURT TIS THE SEASON FOR INJURIES:

• Booster seat should be used once a child outgrows a forward-facing car seat and kept until a child ﬁts safely on a seat with knees over the edge.

If you have health insurance, you may need to choose from a list of doctors in your plan’s network. Some insurance plans may let you choose a doctor outside your network if you pay more of the cost.

Talk to people you know about whether they have a provider they like. If you’re looking for a new provider because of a move or retirement, ask your current doctor for a recommendation. If you need to make a change with your primary care doctor but see specialists or other medical professionals you like and trust, you can also request referrals from them.

Narrow Your Options

Some of the providers you consider may not be viable options for simple reasons, like their practice isn’t currently taking new patients or they don’t have ofﬁce hours matching your schedule. You can also consider questions such as hospital afﬁliations and whether other providers can help if you need emergency care and your doctor isn’t available.

• Work-related stress is associated with a 40% increased risk of cardiovascular disease like heart attack and stroke

FAMILY etween work, family obligations and a constantly changing world, people in the United States are stressed. In fact, U.S. workers are among the most stressed in the world, according to a State of the Global Workplace study. While some stress is unavoidable and can be good for you, constant or chronic stress can have real consequences for your mental and physical health. Chronic stress can increase your lifetime risk of heart disease and stroke. It can also lead to unhealthy habits like overeating, physical inactivity and smoking while also increasing risk factors, including high blood pressure, depression and anxiety. However, a scientiﬁc statement from the American Heart Association shows reducing stress and cultivating a positive mindset can improve health and well-being.

September 8, 202228 Canyon Courier everything on the property inside andTheout.money will be donated to three charities per the wishes of Hazel Lou Humphrey, who died in 1995. In her will, she detailed that the farm become a museum to teach others about life in Evergreen in the early 20thcentury and that everything would be sold if the museum closed. Over the years, the museum hosted classes on the period, an art gallery, concerts, an antique store, hiking trails and special events. Sarah Booras, co-owner of Estate Liquidation, explained that four auctions have been planned to sell all of the items, starting with the kitchen and pantry. That is why several tables outside and the former gift shop held dinnerware, containers, furniture, dolls and more — most of it already sold with a few knickknacks still for sale. The second auction, which started Sept. 1, put items from the dining and living rooms up for sale.

Elizabeth Edwards of Highlands Ranch looks lovingly at one of a 214-piece Enoch Woods Castles china set that she purchased in an online auction from the Humphrey History Park and Museum in Soda Creek. The museum, which is closing, is selling all of the contents with proceeds going to charity.

For Edwards, acquiring the china is as much about its history as ﬁnding an antique. “At Thanksgiving, I have decided to set a place for Hazel Lou to honor her,” said Edwards, who has been collecting antiques since she was a child. She explained that the set she acquired from Humphrey Museum is one of the rarest colors of Enoch Woods Castles china there is. She acquired the service for 14 plus serving pieces for $866 or $3.14 per item.Edwards enjoys tablescaping, calling it relaxing and enjoyable. She spent two days rearranging her house to accommodate her ﬁnd.

Millions of dollars are already being spent in support of initiatives the national Total Wine & More chain. The Trones are supporting Initiative 96, which would let Total Wine open more stores in Colorado. Right now, liquor retailers are allowed to open only three stores in Colorado. Total Wine has two Colorado stores and will soon open a third. Small retail liquor stores are fiercely opposed to the measure. Already on the ballot was Initiative 58, a measure to decriminalize and regulate the use of “magic” mushrooms, and Initiative 31, a measure asking voters to reduce the fied for the ballot last week. It would divert 0.1% of taxable income from the general fund to the state affordable housing fund, which would represent about $270 million in its first year. While taxes wouldn’t be raised under the proposal, the amount of money available for Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights refunds would be reduced by whatever is set aside for the housingThefund.legislature referred two statutory measures to the ballot this year, including one that would reduce state income tax deductions for people with higher incomes and use the savings to provide free K-12 other would require detailed information about how ballot measures changing the income tax rate would impact various income brackets to be more prominently displayed to voters. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state. For more, and to support The Colorado Sun, visit coloradosun.com.

Colorado voters will have a chance in November to weigh in on the state’s long-running alcohol-policy war.The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office announced Friday that three ballot measures that would change booze policy in the state — including one that would let grocery stores sell wine — have qualified for the November ballot after their supporters collected a sufficient number of voter signatures. The following measures qualified: • Initiative 96, which would open the door for liquor retailers to be able to open an unlimited number of stores in Colorado starting in 2037.•Initiative 121, which would let retailers who have a license to sell beer, such as grocery stores, also sell wine.•Initiative 122, which would let third-party services deliver alcohol.

A fourth alcohol-policy measure, Initiative 135, which would have required local approval for liquor license changes in an effort to slow down grocery stores’ ability to begin selling wine in addition to beer, failed to make the ballot after its supporters didn’t turn in the signatures they had collected.

The initiative stems from bipartisan legislation signed in May, cosponsored by state Senators Sonya Jaquez Lewis and Bob Rankin, along with State Rep. Kyle Mullica, in the form of Senate Bill 226. The bill was implemented to channel more funding to the development of healthcare education to guide Coloradans towards in-demand and well-paying healthcare careers. “(These jobs) pay good, and often, students have opportunities to move into management in these different ﬁelds,” Polis said. ”We will only increase our healthcare needs as our population grows older, and we want to make sure we have the caregivers and people with the right training to take care of everybody.” Dr. Angie Paccione, executive director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education, believes the program will sufﬁciently match the demand for such careers.
