James Paladon Muhlhauser
TRUJILLO
Aurora Silva Trujillo
1958 - 2022
James (Jim) was born in Bismarck, North Dakota on September 19, 1958 to Henry and Rosella (Heck) Muhlhauser. He would spend the first nine years in Bismarck, until moving to Mandan, where he would “tear up the town” as young boys do. He would remain there until his graduation in 1976 from Mandan Senior High.
lived a lot of life in the time they had. It was a cherished love full of all the things they enjoyed which including a hot air balloon ride, snow mobilling, water skiing, white water rafting, concerts/ festivals, sporting events and travel. He especially enjoyed trips to Mexico and time spent swimming in the cenote (underground water pools).
Extremely patriotic, Jim chose to serve his country and joined the Navy working on nuclear submarines. He would travel all over the world while stationed in West Virginia, Hawaii and Washington as a Missile and Missile Checkout Technician. During his time in the Navy, Jim would serve on the USS George Washington, USS Nevada and USS Ohio. Shore duties had him working as an instructor and supporting a high-ranking officer. After nearly twenty years in the Navy, achieving the rank of Senior Chief, he decided to hang up his sea legs and honorably retire. A new career awaited him.
As many know, Jim was a strong and determined man. He brought that strength to his battle with brain cancer. Upon finding out he had Glioblastoma he immediately choose to do whatever it took to beat it down. His strength (determination) would continue for almost twenty-three months (beating the prognosis of two weeks to two months if he did nothing) until his battle would finally end. He was surrounded by family as he passed on, taking his final earthly journey knowing his mother, father and sister were already there waiting for him.
The next chapter for Jim would find him spending just shy of twenty-five years with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF). His career with BNSF began in Wyoming but would eventually bring him to Colorado where he worked in the Signal department, first as a signal maintainer then retiring as a signal inspector. During his tenure with the BNSF James would take on additional service as the Local President and Local Chairman for the BNSF Union. He was very proud of defending his fellow union brethren and extremely good at “wearing out” management. During these years Jim would enjoy sports, travel, family and friends. He enjoyed college basketball (Duke) and professional football, first the Redskins then the Broncos. He enjoyed telling stories and laughing while regaling folks with tales of his childhood, his time in military and with the railroad. Every year he would travel to North Dakota over the 4th of July to enjoy time with family, especially with his mother whom he was very close. Jim was truly a family man. He loved his children tremendously, spending as much time as possibility with them going to school activities, Waterworld, Elitches, Art in the Park and the 4th of July parades. While with his children, he especially valued the laughter generated during the various water actives and the morning games of Uno. Having lived together for many years, Jim and Wade, his close friend and brother, would spend many hours enjoying life and solving the world’s problems. Later in life he would find the love of his life, Dawn. They had so much in common and

Turning tables, not waiting on them This gives employees a special advantage over their employer and he advises workers to leverage that advantage now, since it may not last forever. He points to Starbucks employees who are fighting to unionize their shops throughout the country. The tables have turned because the elements of structural unemployment changed. Structural unemployment, he said, is when there is a lack of skills that hinges on employment in the labor market. Usually, it was because employees lacked the skills employers wanted or

Now, employers don’t have the skills necessary to keep employees onboard and a paradigm shift is occurring where bosses are analyzing their relationships with their workers. As to why he points to the COVID-19 pandemic as the catalyst. Why people left “You know when your kids are out of line and you tell them, ‘go to the corner and think about what you did,’” DelCastillo asked. “That’s essentially what the pandemic did to us.” He explained that people began to leave their jobs after reflecting on their current situations. Transitioning jobs, entrepreneurship, settling for less money for more free time and reluctance to come back to the workforce were some of the factors that led up to where the job market is now.

Brighton stays undefeated, tops Prairie View in cross town matchup BY JUAN ARELLANO SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
What better way to add some late-season drama than a rivalry game that has playoff implications. The Brighton Bulldogs came into the April 26 East Metro Athletic Conference match against their crosstown rivals, the Prairie View ThunderHawks, with a record of 6-5-1, undefeated with a record of 6-0 in conference play. On the other hand, Prairie View went into the game with a record of 4-7-1, 4-1 in the EMAC. On top of that, many players from Prairie View and Brighton are familiar with each other as they played club soccer together. So, as Prairie View’s senior midfielder and captain Elle Haas described the feeling before stepping onto the pitch, this isn’t a regular game. “Exciting. It kind of is very scary ... always nervous,” said Haas. Although the game was important for Brighton’s junior midfielder Karly Lambert, she tried not to think too much about the other factors when facing the ThunderHawks. “Honestly it’s the same thing. Like you play the same way, but you’re definitely still family at the end because they were a team before,” said Lambert. Many times “friendly competition” brings out the best in teams and it did for both squads this time. Prairie View created multiple goal-scoring opportunities in the first half, which eventually led to senior midfielder Chloe Gray’s goal from the penalty spot. “I think we played well, we played one of the best games of the season, passing well.

We had some opportunities, but sometimes it just happens,” said Haas. The second half was fought with the same intensity as the first. But Brighton’s offensive game was too much to handle for the ThunderHawks. As Lambert said, “We were definitely down at first, but I think we all brought it together and realized that we really wanted this and just went back and fought at it.” Jayla Sheeded got the first goal for the Bulldogs while Faith Rivero scored an amazing goal late in the second half to give Brighton the win. “It was a shot opportunity and yeah, you just got to take them. It was just crazy,” she said. With the 2-1 win, the Bulldogs remained undefeated in conference play at 7-0 while the ThunderHawks fell to 4-2 against league opponents. Once the final whistle blew and the ball stopped rolling, there were smiles, hugs, and no hard feelings between the friendly rivals. “It was fun because I played with some of those players,” said Haas. Rivero said, ”Before you go in as friends. When you play the game, you’re rivals. And then at the end of the game, you can just shake it off. It’s honestly fun competition.” LINDA SHAPLEY Publisher lshapley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Brighton native takes next step toward pro hockey career BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
ISANTI, MINNESOTA – When he gets older, Brighton High School alum Tyler Samson will have some stories to tell about the early stages of his hockey career. There was the pandemic that, among other things, caused at least one game to be postponed shortly after a six-hour bus trip to the rink. Then there was a bus fire that cost him all of his hockey sticks before his participation in a showcase game before Christmas 2021. Then there was his trade from the Hudson, Wisconsin, Havoc to the Rum River Mallards in Isanti, Minnesota, a swap he heard about after Mass. Now, there is the draft for the North American 3 Hockey League, a junior ice hockey league with teams in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming.

So when he says he’s back to a normal routine – and away from COVID – he means it. “Fans are back in the arenas, I can show up to the rink whenever I want to, and I don’t have to wear a mask anymore inside of the arenas,” Samson said. “It feels good to have my normal routine back and to have no more worries and distractions.”
The draft and the trade The North American 3 Hockey League draft was April 20, and it was online. Samson said the league is “high-skilled” for players to move up to play Tier 2 Junior Hockey in either the NA3HL or the National Collegiate Development Conference. Another option is to move up to NCAA Division II or II level hockey. There’s no affiliation with the NHL, and Samson wasn’t in college at the time. “There were a couple of commentators that were commenting on the draft,” Samson said. “I was at work at the time, I had

my airpods in, listening to the draft, and what the commentators had to say.” The draft paused at the beginning, so Samson refreshed the screen. “I saw my name at sixth (the sixth pick) overall. I was shocked, surprised, and happy all at the same time,” Samson said. The New Ulm Steel in Ulm, Minnesota, selected him. Samson hasn’t had any experience with that team yet. He went to the Hudson Havoc before the team traded him to the Rum River Mallards. Both squads are tier 3 junior level hockey teams in the United States Premier Hockey League. “I got traded last season around the trade deadline,” Samson said. “It was a Sunday night when it was announced. I remember that because I was in church at the time when it happened. I got out of Mass when I saw a missed call on my phone. It was from my coach. “He told me that he had a trade on the table and asked me if it was something that I was interested in, I told him I was, and it got finalized and sent to the league. I had to get home and start packing to get ready to move in a couple of days. “After the trade, I had to play my old team, the Hudson Havoc, twice before the season ended,” Samson added. “The experience with the Rum River Mallards was a great experience. The rink and the locker room were incredible. I also had a lounge where I would eat lunch, watch film and do homework on a daily basis. I also had the ice for most of the day. Some days, I would spend up to four hours practicing and training. My teammates and coaching staff were also amazing. They were very professional, and they were a great
group of guys.” Awards and hazards One of the commentators for the USPHL, Dan Kmiechick, named Samson as the top player of one of the recent games. “Before I got to Rum River, my team won a challenge that would bring Dan K. to my home rink and have him comment on my last game of the regular season nationally,” Samson said. “The last game of the regular season, we won 3-2 in overtime. I assisted on the game-winning goal, as well as had a goal and assist in regular time. After the game, Dan K. came down to the ice and interviewed me and the other two stars of the game, which was a super- cool experience” On fire Samson also had to replace a lot of his equipment around Christmas 2021. “In a showcase around Christmas, my bus caught on fire, which resulted in the game that day getting postponed, and I lost all my sticks in the fire,” Samson said. “I had to buy a new one in Chicago. When I got traded to Rum River, I had a huge bus breakdown, which also resulted in a four-hour bus trip turning into a 22-hour bus trip. The last trip after my team got eliminated, the same bus broke down again. I had to drive four hours in a rented U-Haul.” Samson still hasn’t changed his goal, nor has he changed his love for the game. “The NHL is the end goal for me and would be super cool,” he said. “There are some players in the NHL that have taken the progression that I am on right now. But this path isn’t too normal for NHL players. “I definitely do get as much joy playing hockey as I did as a kid,” he concluded. “This is the best sport in the world and is fun every time I step out on the ice. God gave me a gift to play hockey, and I want to play as long as I can.”

coming now because Coloradans are being hit by skyrocketing rent costs, difficulty buying homes, inflating childcare costs and higher gas and food prices. “Instead of the government sitting on the money, we want to make sure we get it back to people now,” Polis said. “Rather than sit on this money, we know the $400 will help people now.” While $400 would certainly help, many Coloradans interviewed Monday by Rocky Mountain PBS said the $400 may not go as far as it used to, as inflation has hit the entire country hard the last several months. “It’s better than not having an extra $400, but it doesn’t go far enough,” said Thomas Law, a Denver resident and a service worker at Union Station. “It’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things, as an
Garnett
adult in Denver.” Law said his rent is about $1,600, which is a price he would
have expected to pay in New York City, but did not feel it was warranted in Denver. As a full-time restaurant server, Law said tips are his most reliable source of income, and with increasing costs of food, his restaurant has seen fewer visitors than it used to. Those who do patronize the restaurant often tip less than they once did, Law added. “We heavily rely on people coming in and buying things and tipping, and with everything getting more expensive, people are coming less often and they’re tipping less often,” Law said. “It’s definitely an issue and I think something needs to change.” Others said they would take the $400 as a small victory, even if it wouldn’t cover much. “Being a teacher, we get summers off and I like to do some little trips, but I’m thinking it’s not going to happen this year because gas is so expensive,” said Diane Hopkins, a Thornton resident who works with adults with
disabilities. “I could probably go get myself some nice flowers, though.” Though the money may not be much, Logan Gunnum, a Denver resident who is unsheltered and saddled with medical debt, said it would be a lifeline for him. “The first thing I would do is make sure I had a steady place to live, and that way I could get the rest of my life sorted out,” Gunnum said. “They talk about how there are all of these different services and things for people in my position, but there really isn’t.” Coloradans can expect the money to be sent to the address they used to fill out their taxes.

For teens, nothing serves up an addiction like flavored tobacco. Tobacco companies sell kid-friendly flavors, from Cherry Dynamite to Donut to Menthol. Over 2 million kids use e-cigarettes, and 85% use flavors. More than 1 in 4 Colorado high school students are hooked. We’re asking legislators to end the sale of flavored tobacco that the industry has used to addict our kids. Let’s put our kids’ health over Big Tobacco’s profits.
PROTECT OUR KIDS. END THE SALE OF ALL FLAVORED TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
