PoloFest gallops into Sedalia this month Fundraiser mashes music festival with polo sporting event

horses, they love the sport of polo and they want more of their generation to understand why.

“Horses, they’ve been a part of my life since the beginning and they really do have a special power, not just on the field, but off the field as well,” MacCarty said.

MacCarty and Jornayvaz play polo and call the sporting community closeknit. But they also say it has a reputation for being closed-off to the masses.

By keeping PoloFest casual — no need to wear big hats or pastel colors — they hope PoloFest makes the sport more inclusive.

“I think the thing that draws me most,” Jornayvaz said of polo, “is the horse and the connection that you can create with such an incredible animal that’s so athletic but, at the same time, so in tune with you.”

An event rolls into Sedalia this month that aims to make people believe in polo, while also serving up first-class music entertainment.

PoloFest, which as the name suggests is both a music festival and polo sporting event, kicks off Aug. 25 at the Denver Polo Club.

It’s bringing in names like Phantogram and Quinn XCII while also showcasing polo through the Women’s World Cup and Colorado Open Final.

Organizers say PoloFest is open to people of all ages and all backgrounds, including those new to polo. Here are a few important things to know about the event.

The setting PoloFest takes place at the Denver Polo Club, 6359 Airport Road in Sedalia. Situated along the Front Range among open, grassy fields, the site is not only a burgeoning music venue but one rich in local polo history.

The club was founded in 1986 by John and Chris Gandomcar, who built the 100-acre Cottonwood Riding Club in Littleton, located south of Chatfield

Who’s throwing PoloFest?

The faces behind this polo-music mashup are Ty MacCarty, of Sheridan, Wyoming, and Rob Jornayvaz, of Littleton. The 27-year-old and 25-year-old men, respectively, said they co-founded PoloFest because they love

State Park and north of the Denver Polo Club.

Today, according to the club’s website, the Denver Polo Club is run by the Gandomcars’ daughter, Erica, an accomplished polo athlete and advocate for the sport.

How PoloFest works The day of the festival will be a mix of polo events and musical entertainment.

“It’s going to be a really fun-filled day,” Jornayvaz said.

Doors open at 1 p.m. A Kid’s Polo match begins at 2 p.m., the Women’s World Cup runs from 4 to 5 p.m., and the Colorado Open Final runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

The Equine Partnership Program will offer horse rides and other ways for people to interact with horses from 2 to 5:30 p.m.

Now, soak in this artist lineup: • Brandi Cyrus (yes, that’s Miley Cyrus’ sister) will DJ throughout the event.

• Chule & Curtis play at 3 p.m.

• ZZ Ward plays at 5 p.m.

• Quinn XCII takes the stage at 8 p.m. and headliners Phantogram follow at 9:30 p.m.

The nonprofit provides equine therapy for children, families and individuals, but also for underprivileged, abused or neglected children, “a very important population to work with,” Jornayvaz said.

People can make donations to the EPP or participate in a silent auction during the festival. Polo teams playing during the event are donating to the EPP as well.

Jornayvaz and MacCarty said they’re not sure what to predict for crowd size this year, but they hope to raise $40,000 for the EPP. Funds will help bring kids from the Denver metro to the EPP’s Elizabeth location “to breath some fresh air,” Jornayvaz said, and support the organization’s building projects.

“Our goal,” MacCarty said, “is to really showcase the healing power of horses.”

Survey gives insight into students’ mental, physical health

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nine in 10 students enrolled in the Douglas County School District feel safe at school.

More than three-fourths of DCSD students have an adult to go to for help with a serious problem.

Four in 10 students in the district have used an electronic vapor product, up from about one in 10 students five years ago.

More than one-fourth of district students think it is “sort of ” or “very easy” to get prescription drugs without a prescription.

Those are just some of the results from the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, the state’s only in-depth survey on the health and well-being of young people.

Results from 2017 were released in mid-July.

The survey sampled approximately 56,000 young people from 190 selected middle and high schools statewide, according to data provided by the state.

In Douglas County, about 2,800 students from 10 high schools participated. That means about 4 percent of students in the district took the survey.

Every two years, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment administers the survey, which allows students across

the state to anonymously report on their mental and physical health.

“This is a unique data point in that is it the student voice,” said Nancy Ingalls, personalized learning officer at Douglas County School District. “It’s a self-report of students. We don’t have many other mechanisms to obtain that in a secure and anonymous fashion.”

Douglas County School District participated in the survey in 2013 but opted out in 2015. The decision on whether to be included is made by the superintendent.

The survey, comprising 185 questions on topics ranging from diet to substance use to parent and teacher involvement, takes one class period to complete.

Data from Douglas County School District fluctuated from 2013 to 2017, but was generally consistent with the state. Schools will use the results to identify trends and changes in youth behaviors and to create programs to address those trends and changes.

In Douglas County Douglas County’s results in 2013 and 2017 were generally consistent, with some notable differences in areas of substance use, bullying and mental health.

Alex, Kathryn and Dan Palermo stand in a labor and delivery room at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. Alex was the first baby born at the hospital when it opened in 2013.

JESSICA GIBBS

Medical campus works to keep pace with community growth

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the years since Castle Rock Adventist Hospital opened its doors, the facility’s staff has helped bring more than 3,220 babies into the world.

The very first of those babies was Alex Palermo, now a shy but sweet 5-year-old with blond hair and a love of soccer and swimming.

These days Alex is busy preparing to start kindergarten, learning to ride a bike and an all-around energetic kid, his parents said.

On the day he was born, however, Alex’s mother, Kathryn, said life was unusually calm for a family staying in a hospital’s labor and delivery unit.

When the Palermos approached the department floor at roughly 7 a.m. on Aug. 1, 2013, doctors and nurses cheered for their arrival. Shortly after, the hallways fell quiet while the Palermos settled in as the only family in the unit that morning.

“It was exciting, emotional for all of us,” said Dan Palermo, Alex’s father and Kathryn’s husband.

Alex, as the first baby born in the Castle Rock hospital, and his family were part of celebrations culminating on Aug. 1, 2018, when the hospital marked its fifth anniversary.

Kathryn is today an acute care nurse and assistant manager at the hospital. Dan is a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office. Both said the hospital has changed significantly since the day Alex was born and is still shaping the community, including their neighborhood, The Meadows.

••• In the past five years, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital tallied up a total of

15,829 admissions, 86,401 emergency room visits and 11,279 surgeries.

“Castle Rock is the fastest-growing hospital within Centura on a percentage basis,” said Jeremy Pittman, the former CFO and COO of Castle Rock Adventist Hospital.

Castle Rock’s is one of 17 hospitals run by Centennial-based Centura Health.

The company boasts the largest health-care network in the region, a detail proudly displayed on its website, where its list of hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent cares, clinics and Flight For Life services, all staffed by more than 21,000 professionals, is also found.

The Castle Rock campus started as a stand-alone emergency room in 2011 and expanded to a full hospital in 2013.

Today, it functions as a licensed 55-bed facility, employs 550 people and plans to further its capacity for services with a revamped fourth floor.

Last year its overall growth rate, a figure combining admissions, outpatient visits and physician practices, grew by 15 percent, Pittman said.

Suzanne Parker, director of emergency services, came from Porter Adventist Hospital to help the standalone emergency room get up and running in 2011. They anticipated seeing eight patients a day once the facility opened.

Their first day, they got 26.

“That right there tells you how much a hospital was needed in this community,” she said.

Douglas County Library archives show a variety of medical clinics and practices opening in Douglas County throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but the nearest hospitals to Castle Rock didn’t open until 2003 with $147 million Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, and later that year when Parker Adventist Hospital also broke ground.

In April, media and technology company Redbarre announced it was no longer committed to building a $1 billion digital media campus in the Compark industrial area of Parker, citing “an impasse with the landowner.” The campus was still a possibility for the site, but Redbarre officials were exploring their options, a spokesman said.

On July 30, Compark developers officially took themselves out of contention for the campus, withdrawing the location in northwest Parker from consideration.

“We respect Compark’s decision to remove their site as one of our preferred locations...,” said Don Levy, CEO of Redbarre, in a news release announcing Compark’s move. “Putting a fund package together for a billiondollar project takes time and patience.

We wish Compark and the town of Parker nothing but the best, they have been world-class in their approach and accessibility throughout this process.”

The news release, sent by the public relations firm Dovetail Solutions, stated Redbarre was told Compark withdrew its offer for “unspecified reasons.”

Compark developer Michael Vickers declined to comment.

In August 2017, Redbarre announced plans to build in Parker amid much fanfare.

The company held a news conference on the steps of the state Capitol in Denver, with Gov. John Hickenlooper and officials from Parker and Douglas County in attendance. Plans were to build a 68-acre, 1.9 million.square-foot digital media and technology campus in the Compark area. The plans included production studios, retail, office and hospitality spaces, and promised to bring nearly 4,000 jobs to the area.

Plans originally called for the campus to break ground this summer.

“We are clearly disappointed, but the dynamic nature of project negotations often result in changes and

delays that are unexpected,” said Matt Carlson, business recruitment manager for the Town of Parker’s Economic Development Division.

Parker Mayor Mike Waid said the town had been a big supporter of the project from the beginning.

In its announcement in 2017, Redbarre said the Compark area of Parker provided a unique combination of land, price, data infrastructure and location. Compark is located along E-470 and includes bits of land in Parker and unincorporated Douglas County.

The company’s website, at redbarre. com/Colorado, says Colorado was an attractive option to build its campus for its centralized location and booming technology industry. The site says Redbarre has locations in Denver, New York and Los Angeles.

Where does Redbarre go from here?

On the company’s site, under the tab originally labeled “How does this affect Parker?” it now reads “How does this affect the communities of South Denver?” It states Redbarre would bring more than $900 million in new infrastructure to the communities of South Denver, increased local tax revenues and several new indoor and outdoor venues available for local community events.

The groundbreaking on Redbarre’s Colorado campus was originally scheduled to begin between July and September. According to the Redbarre news release, the project will break ground later this year, but it’s not clear where. A spokesman said he could not release a list of possible sites per a non-disclosure agreement.

While the town won’t be seeing what was touted to be a boost of more than $1 billion to its economy, Carlson said the town will continue to attract businesses to the Compark area.

“The availability of easily developed sites, such as Compark, allows Parker to frequently engage in discussions with organizations, both bigger and smaller than Redbarre, who are looking to expand or relocate their operations in Colorado,” Carlson said.

For the 100th celebration of the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo, people came rain or shine — showers drenched people at the annual cattle drive on July 27, for example, and again the afternoon of Aug. 3 — to celebrate the county’s heritage and agricultural roots.

In the words of Elizabeth resident Cash Roberts, the fair is “Better than Christmas.”

“It’s the best time of the year,” he said. “I love how it brings everyone together.”

Maddy Rohr, of Elbert, agreed, saying her favorite aspect of the fair is spending time with friends and “being part of the livestock industry.”

Livestock shows ran throughout the

annual event in Castle Rock, which ended Aug. 5. Many 4-H participants also showcased their best baking, photography and quilting, among other projects displayed in the fairgrounds event center.

Entertainment included a 14-ride carnival and there was a modern approach to eateries with the arrival of food trucks. And, of course, there was plenty of rodeo action throughout the event.

Cynda Dyer, of Castle Rock, attended Aug. 3 with her two children, Cooper, 10, and Taylor, 9. Dyer trains horses and uses the fair as a way to spend time with clients, she said, but it also serves up fun for her children, who waved to her from carnival rides once the rain slowed down.

“We try to come every time,” she said. “It’s a great family place.”

Signatures being checked for statewide school funding measure Initiative 93 could boost resources for education if it makes ballot

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coloradans looking to bolster education funding throughout the state may be one step closer to their goal, as the Great Schools, Thriving Communities campaign turned in more than 170,000 signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office on July 11.

The signatures provide support for placing Initiative 93 on the November ballot. The initiative would raise $1.6 billion for public education, mostly by an increase to the income tax of those making more than $150,000 a year and for “C” corporations — any corporations that are taxed separately from their owners — getting Colorado closer to the national average in terms of education funding. Currently the state gives about $5 billion to school districts.

For the past six months, volunteers throughout the state set out to collect 98,492 valid signatures in support of the ballot initiative. The number turned in exceeds that goal and the Secretary of State’s Office has 30 days to verify the signatures’ validity. The office must also verify that enough

valid signatures came from each state Senate district — about 3,000 minimum from each of the 35 districts.

“I am overly excited and so proud of all those people that have stepped up and done outstanding work,” said Donald Anderson, of Fort Collins.

Anderson and Boulder resident Martha Olson are the proponents on the citizen document.

“I think the other thing in addition to the excitement of getting this far is to emphasis how crucial this is to Colorado schools,” Olson added. “The funding was cut in the recession and never recovered. This is the time.”

The Great Schools, Thriving Communities campaign is made up of a coalition of education-connected organizations working to advance better and more equitable funding of public schools through a ballot initiative in 2018.

Great Schools, Thriving Communities is based on three principles: Every student needs the opportunity to reach their full potential and to participate meaningfully in the civic and economic life of the community; the Colorado way of life should be about every student having the chance to succeed regardless of their zip code or their learning needs; and a strong economy requires quality public education as it develops a quality workforce that will drive a vibrant Colorado economy for decades to come.

The new funding is aimed at making

up for millions of dollars in lost funding over the past decade.

The initiative Olson and Anderson found their path as education activists in different ways.

Anderson, a stay-at-home dad, was volunteering at schools and got involved in the State Advisory Council for Parent Involvement in Education — which gave him a broader view of education in Colorado.

“I’m very passionate about kids having the opportunities out there to be the best that they can be,” Anderson said. “I got started looking at the student view and the opportunities missed in Colorado.”

For Olson, a former teacher and administrator, concerns about schools going to four days a week and the lack of ability to provide free full-day kindergarten made her take action.

“Looking at youngest children, all the research says the sooner they can get into a rich learning environment the better,” Olson said. “If we want to close learning gaps we need to start young. And we don’t even provide a free kindergarten. We are handicap-

ping a whole generation of young people. Sometimes I get worried that we don’t even know what we are doing by not funding our schools.”

The initiative would address these shortfalls by providing an additional $1,000 per child to each school district; providing for full-day kindergarten and increasing the amount of revenue going to early childhood education funding; expanding the definition of “at-risk” students to count free and reduced lunch kids; and increasing the amount of funds passing from the state to local districts for English-language learners, special education, and gifted and talented students.

“Our initiative is about trying to solve a statewide funding issues to make sure all students are able to benefit,” said Susan Meek, a Douglas County resident and communications director for Great Education Colorado, a grassroots activism group aimed at stimulating wise investment in Colorado’s public schools, colleges, and universities.

Pittman said land for the hospital in Castle Rock was purchased in 2008 — near the recession and economic downturn — but they counted on Castle Rock’s growth rate returning to roughly 4 percent. Today’s population exceed 65,000, according to town estimates.

Once the stand-alone emergency room was in operation, “we decided it was feasible to build the hospital,” Pittman said.

The project took two years and they hired most staff six months and 30 days ahead of opening day. Kathryn stood in lines wrapping around the Douglas County Fairgrounds event center during a job fair to score an interview for a position at the new hospital.

••• Parker estimated they’re now admitting roughly 12 to 15 patients to the hospital through the emergency room on a daily basis.

Moving forward, the hospital intends to expand onto its fourth floor.

The project has been in talks from the facility’s early days, but Pittman said they hope it will be open and operational in the next 18 months.

That could mean a post-surgical unit offering between 24 and 36 more beds.

something with people and then they move on to other things,” she said.

She and Parker say the fourth floor project is exciting news. Their mission is to keep care local, a difficult goal when units are regularly reaching capacity.

Pittman said the hospital knew to expect the town’s population growth.

They’ve experienced demand for services across demographics but particularly among the baby boomer generation, and they’re planning to continue growing with the needs of the community.

“Castle Rock has really grown,” Kathryn said. “The hospital really had no choice but to grow at the same time.”

FUNDING FROM PAGE 8

One way this initiative does that is by allowing each school district to determine how to spend the extra dollars in a way that benefits their community.

For Bret Miles, who works with 12 school districts in the northeast corner of the state, this means looking at courses that have been cut, increased class sizes and decreased personnel due to decreased funding over the years. With districts ranging from 120 students in K-12 to 750 students throughout a district, the northeast corner is home to some of the smallest districts in the state.

“Right away with this passing, each district will get to have a conversation about what we get to restore,” Miles said. “I think that’s really the beauty of this initiative.

Each district gets to come up wth their own solution. Each community can sit down and say what is our need, our priority as a school district.”

Miles said one area extra funds will go toward is increased salary for educators.

“It’s no question,” he said. “In our neck of the woods we have such a tough time competing with the metro area with salaries. So that’s good for our teachers, prospective teachers, and the community, because instead of our teachers renting the tiniest house in town,

they can buy.”

But those in opposition to the initiative have doubts that the money collected from taxpayers will benefit students.

“There’s also absolutely no evidence that this will improve Colorado schools,” said Linda Gorman, an economist with the Independence Institute, a libertarian think tank based in Denver. “All this money goes into an education slush fund and can be used for any purpose …

There’s no guarantee that any of this money will be used to help the average students out.”

In Jefferson County Public Schools, the second largest school district in the state and home to 86,000 students, the initiative would mean an additional $134.4 million a year for the district. This year Jeffco recived $353 million in state revenue. Superintendent Jason Glass said a portion of that would be designated toward salaries to attract and retain quality teachers. Glass said the district would also likely look at increased counseling services and programming that focuses on career and college readiness.

Getting to the ballot But the road to the ballot has been more difficult than past initiatives.

Amendment 71, which passed in 2016, calls for ballot initiatives in Colorado to turn in valid signatures representing 2 percent of voters from each of the 35 Colorado Senate districts. Initiative 93 is the first to attempt this higher standard.

“It was called Raise the Bar, and it

But Weil said there was an energy around the state that kept the momentum going.

“It’s breathtaking how people stepped up,” Weil said. “Without the energy and commitment of people all around the state, it would have been impossible.”

One Amendment 71 volunteer is Cathy Kipp, who serves on the school board in Fort Collins. Kipp personally collected more than 4,000 signatures in her area and in the Western Slope.

“Funding is such a challenge,” Kipp said. “This actually gets some-

WHAT IT MEANS FOR TAXES The Great Schools, Thriving Communities ballot initiative seeks to increase state education funding by creating a quality public education fund financed through higher taxes on incomes above $150,000 and on “C” corporations.

Increases This means increasing income tax rates incrementally for individuals, trusts and estates using four tax brackets starting at a 0.37 percentage-point increase for incomes above $150,000 and increasing to 3.62 added percentage points for income above $500,000. There will also be an increase for the corporate income tax rate by 1.37 percentage points.

This makes change. To me, it’s incredibly important because everyone wants good schools, but nobody wants to pay for it.”

The initiative also gained momentum in April when educators throughout the state and the nation were rallying at the Capitol for more funding.

“That was very energizing — teachers willing to speak up and talk about the issues,” Anderson said. “All that gives me joy, but I’m also looking ahead and November is a ways away.”

Officers stop protesters from blocking ICE lot Reacting to family separation, group wants to ‘abolish’ immigration agency

TIMELINE OF FAMILY SEPARATION After President Donald Trump’s administration announced a “zero-tolerance” policy in April to prosecute as many border-crossing offenses as possible, children were separated from families on a wide scale during the detention process for migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The administration reversed course to an extent with an executive order June 20 that aimed to detain and hold migrant families together.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Protesters stood vastly outnumbered by local deputies, SWAT officers and federal police in front of the local office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Centennial Aug. 2, yelling messages on a megaphone, singing songs and in some cases getting in officers’ unmoving faces while blocking the ICE parking lot.

The crowd protested the separation of children from migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months, a federal practice that was later reversed, though hundreds of children remain separated from parents who were deported while their children were detained.

Eight protesters who used material to bond their arms in a blockade of two entrances to the parking lot were detained by Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office deputies and federal police.

Seven received federal citations and were released at the scene, according to Julie Brooks, spokeswoman for the

A federal judge in San Diego ordered the government to reunite all the families by the end of July 26, the Associated Press reported. The federal government was directed to reunify more than 2,500 children, and the Trump administration said July 26 that more than 1,800 children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border have been reunited with parents and sponsors, but hundreds remained apart, the AP reported.

Hanna Khavafipour, a 29-year-old protester from Denver, initially refuses to move at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Denver Field Office at 12445 E. Caley Ave. in Centennial Aug. 2. Deputies and SWAT personnel from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office walked the crowd away from some protesters who formed blockades at entrances to the parking lot.

she added. All eight protesters were released, a spokeswoman with the protest said about noon Aug. 3 in a news release.

The protest, organized in part by longtime activist and undocumented immigrant Jeanette Vizguerra, arrived in front of the Denver Field Office at 12445 E. Caley Ave. in Centennial the evening of July 29 and was planned to last a week, Vizguerra said.

About 15 people slept at the encampment on the first night, she said.

On Aug. 1, before the parking-lot entrances were blocked, ICE commented on the protest.

ICE “fully respects the constitutional rights of all people to peacefully express their opinions,” said Carl Rusnok, a regional ICE spokesman.

“ICE remains committed to performing its immigration-enforcement mission consistent with federal law and agency policy.”

Rusnok declined to offer comments on the Aug. 2 scene at the protest. The Denver Field Office’s area of responsibility includes Colorado and Wyoming.

A verbal clash More than three dozen protesters stood on the sidewalk and street in front of the office late on the afternoon of Aug. 2, chanting in Spanish and English as federal police voiced legal warnings against the parking-lot blockades on loudspeaker.

By about 5 p.m., roughly 80 lawenforcement officers total, including Arapahoe County and federal police with the Department of Homeland Security, were on the scene, where two groups of four protesters blocked entrances to the lot.

Dozens of deputies and SWAT personnel from the sheriff ’s office — both in riot helmets and vests — formed a semi-rectangular line around one of the groups of four. Officers lined up

A person’s first offense of illegal entry into the U.S. is a misdemeanor, but previous administrations have made exceptions, such as for parents traveling with minor children, according to The New York Times — though President Barack Obama’s administration detained adults and children together before a court ruling limited the amount of time children could be held in immigration detention. After, an exception was effectively made for parents and children to be released while they await court proceedings. across the width of East Caley Avenue and walked forward as protesters backed up, with one protester who initially refused to move — 29-year-old Hanna Khavafipour — being pushed back by an officer.

One of the protesters later detained reportedly sustained a minor injury that was treated at the scene, Brooks said. No protesters aside from those in the blockades were detained, cited or arrested, Brooks said.

Protesters stood amid signs opposed to the Trump administration’s practice — later reversed — of separating hildren from parents on a wide scale at the U.S.-Mexico border in the detention process for migrants. About 150 protesters were in the crowd in the morning and early afternoon, said Jenn Piper, who identified herself as a “press liaison” for the protest. By midafternoon, the number of protesters dwindled to about 40.

Escalating scene That morning, protesters marched in a circle near the parking-lot entrances, Piper said. The arm-link blockades began around 11 a.m., and Homeland Security police arrived about an hour before that, Piper said.

Multiple times in the afternoon, federal police read legal warnings on a loudspeaker, including that “federal fines and/or arrests can occur” for blocking entry or exit to the parking area. At 4 p.m., federal police handed out legal notices to protesters that said those who obstruct parking lots will be subject to arrest.

SURVEY FROM PAGE 3

The percentage of students who had been using marijuana while driving dropped from 8 percent in 2013 to 6.6 percent in 2017.

The percentage of students who had ever smoked a whole cigarette dropped from 15.8 percent in 2013 to 12 percent in 2017. But the percent of students who had ever used an electronic cigarette spiked from 11.5 percent in 2013 to 41.1 percent in 2017.

The question on electronic cigarette use in the 2017 survey used the term “electronic vapor products,” while the 2013 question used the term “e-cigarettes.” Deputies from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office say the vaping trend is increasingly seen on school grounds.

The instances of bullying decreased. In 2013, 20.4 percent of students reported being bullied on school property during the past year, compared to 17.8 students in 2017. Online bullying also dropped from 17.3 percent in 2013 to 15.2 percent in 2017.

Responses to questions on mental health varied. The percentage of students who felt “so sad or hopeless for two weeks or more that they stopped doing some usual activities” increased from 21.5 percent in 2013 to 27.6 percent in 2017.

Staff members noted that the survey is a depiction of only a portion of students in the district.

“We can make some correlations to the rest of the district, but we are well aware that not every child participates in the survey,” said Lisa Kantor, the district’s director of health, wellness and prevention.

Data from the 2017 survey

what the data shows in a more targeted way.”

shows that Douglas County students are generally doing better than the state and neighboring counties, like Arapahoe, in areas of obesity, diet, limiting screen time, positive mental health, access to health care, parent involvement, community-service participation and some areas of education.

But 40.4 percent of students who drove a vehicle during the past 30 days texted or emailed while driving on one or more days, compared to the state, at 35.9 percent. Just under 30 percent of students felt school assignments were often or almost always important and meaningful. The state came in at 32 percent.

The results didn’t surprise Kantor or Ingalls, they said.

“Whether the data is in line with the state or not, we still understand that there are students behind every single one of those numbers,” Kantor said. “We will respond to

Moving forward The Douglas County School District will take the data into consideration for its existing prevention programs, staff members say.

Prior to the 2017-18 school year, the district received a grant from the state for nearly $900,000. The money, made possible by the state’s Marijuana Tax Cash Fund, would go toward hiring an additional full-time counselor for the district’s nine neighborhood middle schools for the following three years.

Each counselor has a focus on prevention, mental health and substance abuse, according to the district.

“We are focusing on the younger kids, as well as the older kids,” Kantor said. “We know that the earlier we can provide opportunities for stu-

Real Estate

dents to have access to information and feel supported and connected, the more resilient they are going to be through high school.”

Other prevention programs in place are the district’s Prevention and School Culture team, started three years ago to address bullying, school violence, substance abuse and suicide.

Team members teach seminars to elementary, middle and high school students on the topics of resiliency, kindness, healthy boundaries, healthy relationships and substanceabuse prevention.

Though it may only represent a portion of students, data from the survey is invaluable, staff members say.

“We need to remind everyone that these are students, not data numbers,” Kantor said. “I think it’s a great opportunity to get that student voice and continue our current efforts towards those students.”

ake a picture. It lasts longer. That’s my motto.

I have over 10 million photographs, maybe more.

My friends call me “F-Stop Fitzgerald.”

I take pictures everywhere I go. I mean it. In the flowers, in the showers, in my car, at the bar, at the game, at the concert, at the park, in the dark, at the zoo, on the shoreline, at the borderline, up the creek, over the river, through the woods, wow.

In the gallery, in the museum, in the church, in the steeple, in the diner, in the library, in the attic, in the john, in the aisles (nobody smiles), in your face, now.

I can’t stop and I don’t want to. If I didn’t

take pictures, I wouldn’t know where I’ve been.

Take away my camera, and I would disappear. There would be no more me.

What do I do with all of these photographs?

I’ll get to that, right after I take pictures of the Tinker Toys, the toybox tomatoes, and the toilets on the Toyota.

I have pictures of Lily and pictures of Dorian.

In focus, out of focus, close-up, and far away.

Every town I’ve been to. Every sandwich, every pickle, even an Indian head nickel. I have to, I must, I’ve even taken pictures of rust.

I have pictures of this and that and next to

A tribute to Jean Ziglar and courtship after marriage

W LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A double dip?

As the Douglas County School Board attempts to have charter parents get behind a possible bond election, are they selling out neighborhood schools for votes? If charter schools were built to the same standards as local schools, would ongoing maintenance be an issue?

This push for their vote would be justified if charter schools did not receive additional dollars from the state for capital needs that our neighborhood schools do not receive. By my calculations over $4 million is received by charters in Douglas County to meet their capital needs each year. Granted, the majority is probably used to pay off debt, but taxpayers are still paying off debt for bonds to build our neighborhood schools.

Charters are there to be independent of local influence and should shoulder the responsibility of operating independently. They already receive per-pupil funding and 100 percent of local mill levy override funds in addition to extra funds from the state for capital needs. I agree asking voters for more bond money to meet capital needs of our neighborhood schools is needed, but it should go to our neighborhood schools that do not receive the extra state money for capital needs.

You can use the emotional plug that this is for all kids in Douglas County but are charters double dipping the system?

hether we say that behind every great man is a great woman, or behind every great woman is a great man, or we agree that behind every great person is another great person or family, we can all agree that typically when we see a person, a family, a business or a team succeed, that the level of success achieved was in direct proportion to the support, love, hope, and encouragement of others.

This week I want to pay tribute to Jean Ziglar, Zig Ziglar’s beloved wife who passed away recently at the age of 90. Zig never missed an opportunity to share what a remarkable woman she was and did so right up until the time of his passing back in 2012. From the stage he was famous for referring to her as “The Redhead.”

He would say, “When I am talking about her, it’s The Redhead, when I am talking to her, it’s Sugar Baby, and her real name is Jean.”

Not only did I hear him say it from the stage dozens of times and hear it on his audio programs hundreds

of times, I was fortunate enough to witness it happening in real life over and over again. To watch Mr. Ziglar as he loved on his WINNING wife was one WORDS thing, and to see them love on each other was the epitome of a happy marriage.

If you would like to read one of Michael Norton the very best books ever on how to build and live out a successful marriage, read Zig Ziglar’s book, “Courtship After Marriage.” What Zig writes about in this book is how he and Jean lived their lives together. They were the real deal, their love and relationship were, and still are, a living example to every couple that wants to experience a closer and more loving relationship.

Jean Ziglar will also be remembered as the “Happy Hugger.” If you were ever

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

blessed enough to meet her, that means you probably got a hug. If you ever spent time with her, you probably heard her laugh. Zig Ziglar might have been the man on stage and on those recordings, but Jean Ziglar was his world. Zig would say she was like his American Express card, he never left home without her. Why was that?

Well maybe it’s because she always made sure he had enough money in his wallet in case of an emergency when he first started traveling and was away from home.

Maybe it’s because she reminded Zig that they could never out-give God as they built a loving, faithful, and faith-based marriage together.

Maybe it’s because when he was on stage she could be seen sitting right in the front row time and time again.

Zig would say that Jean Ziglar was the best car door opener in all of Texas, but if she opened her own car door more than a few times in an entire year it would be a lot. He would open her door for her everywhere they went. Even if they had a driver, he would want to be the one to open her door for her. Why? I can tell you why, Jean Ziglar was one of the most amazing women in her own right. She was humble, she was kind, she was strong, she was a woman of faith, she was a loving mother and grandmother, she was a friend, she was smart, she was funny, she was an amazing hugger.

Jean Ziglar was love.

As I close out this column I want to share a memory and a vision that has been planted in my mind and on my heart for many years. I was traveling with Mr. Ziglar to an event where he would be speaking to tens of thousands of people. We were in the green room getting ready and

Jean Ziglar was with him. Instead of going through his notes one more time as he typically would do before each and every event, he was spending his time with Jean. And Jean, in her loving way, was making sure he was ready to go out on stage. But as they did this, they were loving and flirting, and gently kissing and hugging. They were sharing just how much they loved each other. There were a few people in the room with us, but that didn’t seem to phase Zig or Jean. And then as we walked out through the tunnel, Zig and Jean walked together holding hands right up to the point where Zig was to go on stage.

Even as they were announcing his name, Jean was holding his hand and telling him how God loved him and how she loved him. It was amazing, truly amazing.

I was standing next to a security guard who made the walk with us.

He was about 6’5” tall and a big man. I could see him wiping a tear from his eye too, as we both had tears of joy and appreciation for this wonderful and loving couple who together changed the lives of millions of people around the world.

When asked for one of the reasons why he loved his dad so much, Tom Ziglar answered, “I love my dad so much because of the way he loved my mom.” She truly was a special woman.

So how about you? Do you need a little courtship after marriage? Or are you already living a full, wonderful, and loving life now? I would love to hear you story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can be the supportive, loving, and encouraging person behind someone else, it really will be a better than good week.

School board’s sales job The Douglas County School Board’s strategy for selling the tax increase on the November ballot is now clear.

They want money for teacher pay

raises but that likely won’t sell by itself, so it needs to be wrapped up and packaged as school capital improvements for “child safety.”

To increase chances of passage they are apparently also willing to share a few crumbs of that with charter schools. What a sham.

Community leaders oppose Trump’s rollback of clean car standards Colorado Air Quality Control Commission to discuss low-emission vehicle standards

Several Colorado leaders are vocally defending the state’s ability to protect air quality through vehicle regulation.

“We need to remember that policies made at the federal level impact communities across our country,” said Maria De Cambra, Westminster’s mayor pro tem. “The Trump administration’s rollbacks would undermine our efforts. We must protect the progress we’ve made, and that means leaving the clean car standards in place.”

De Cambra was one of five community leaders and elected officials who

spoke at a July 31 press conference in Lakewood opposing the Trump administration’s EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rollback of clean car standards. She was joined

by Lakewood City Council member Dana Gutwein; Elizabeth Babcock, the manager of air, water and climate for the city and county of Denver; Jen Clanahan with Colorado Moms Knows Best, an activist group consisting of a network of parents with a mission to help protect Colorado’s outdoors, quality of life and clean air; and Jacob Smith, the executive director of Colorado Communities for Climate Action, a coalition of Colorado governments that advocates for state and federal policies to protect Colorado’s climate.

On Aug. 2, President Donald Trump’s administration announced plans to roll back emissions and fuel-economy standards for car model years 2022-25 and attempt to override the ability

for states to set their own stricter standards to protect clean air. The administration argues that halting fuel-efficiency “could save $500 billion in ‘societal costs,’ avert thousands of highway fatalities and save Americans an estimated $2,340 on the cost of each new car,” according to an Aug. 2 article published in the Washington Post.

However, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order on June 19 titled “Maintaining Progress on Clean Vehicles.” It directs the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to develop a rule that establishes a Colorado Low Emission Vehicle program, then propose the rule to the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission for possible adoption

by Dec. 30 into the Colorado Code of Regulations.

on the line for something bigger than themselves,” said Tommy, a protester from Aurora who spoke on condition of being identified by first name.

A 10-minute warning to disperse at about 4:20 p.m. came and went, and after the police presence grew, officers used a tool to remove the material bonding the protesters in the blockades, which Piper said was similar to “PVC pipe.”

All the while, a handful of protesters approached and yelled at officers who lined up in front of the bonded protesters, asking questions like, “Are you on the right side of history?” and how they would feel “if they were your children” separated at the border.

Other words by protesters included saying officers were supporting white supremacy and imploring them to quit their jobs.

One protester yelled messages at the stone-faced officers including, “I know some of you go to church” and “What would Jesus do?”

Protesters are “putting their freedom

Spurred by family separations Piper, the protest spokesperson, said the arm-link blockades were planned

by Abolish ICE Denver when protesters felt that the July 26 deadline for the federal government to reunite families and children separated at the border would not be met.

“The concern of folks here is that the kids (not yet reunited with families) will end up in foster care,” Piper said.

Vizguerra, one of the organizers of the protest, stood among the crowd during the heavy police presence.

“It’s not ‘immigration is my problem’ — it’s everybody’s problem,” Vizguerra said at the protest July 31.

Vizguerra was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2017 and garnered widespread media attention amid an 86-day stay in church sanctuary from immigration enforcement in Denver that year.

eidi Herman scanned through the children’s book section at Tattered Cover Bookstore in Aspen Grove in Littleton, while her son, Maddox, 10, sat on the floor flipping through a book about LEGOs. When they go to a bookstore, the Littleton family said, it’s Tattered Cover.

“I like the small feel, and we’re pretty big on supporting local businesses,” Heidi said Aug. 3.

When Amazon burst onto the scene in the 1990s and as digital books grew in popularity, speculation swirled that the death of independent bookstores like Tattered Cover and reading as people knew it was imminent.

That belief has since been, mostly, debunked. Independent bookstores are still here. They’re still selling hard copies of texts across genres.

And they have a loyal customer base, owners say.

Still, there’s no doubt that models like Amazon’s or of large retailers such as Barnes & Noble affected business for independent bookstores, say indie shop owners in the Denver metro area, both in the used and new book industries.

And Amazon has begun delving into the brick-and-mortar side of

Len Vlahos, co-owner of Tattered Cover Bookstore, said he isn’t worried about competition from Amazon or the future of independents, a sentiment echoed by other shop owners.

What keeps independent bookstores going, he points out, is the customer service, the personal touch of selling items that customers might not find at a corporaterun store relying on the New York

“I’ve been in one of the Amazon stores,” Vlahos said. “It’s a different model. How they display books, how they price books.”

n the years since its founding, the 40 West Arts District has become the beating heart of Lakewood’s arts community.

And every year, its biggest party is the West Colfax MuralFest.

The 2018 MuralFest is from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11, at Lamar Station Plaza (located at Colfax Avenue and Pierce Street) and along the district’s newly unveiled 40 West ArtLine, a four-mile pedestrian- and cycling-friendly arts experience.

The fourth MuralFest continues the trend of getting bigger and better every August, with creative vendor booths, free trolley rides, live painting, COMING entertainATTRACTIONS local ment, food trucks, craft beer and creative activities for the whole family.

Most importantly, it shows off the city’s biggest art gallery the famous boulevard itself.

“We’ll be giving visitors mural Clarke Reader tours around the city so they can see all that has been created,” said Kevin Yoshida, a 40 West board member. “Murals allow you to think about your city as a creative campus.”

Last year’s MuralFest attracted more than 5,000 people and numbers are on track to be just as high with performances from local musicians like Pandas and People, Graham Good and the Painters, Maya Bennett and Emelise Munoz. According to information from 40 West, Azure Antoinette, named the “Maya Angelou of the millennial generation” by Oprah, will also appear.

The fest gets a touch of international flair with Italian muralist Pepe Gaka, and will also feature Thomas Evans, who has painted multiple sites in the Denver area, and Steven Teller, an artist and muralist based out of Florida.

Chickens are mission’s way to boost self-sufficiency Parker merchant helps Honduran families set up poultry flocks

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

L

anny York aptly named his mission outreach to poor families in Honduras “Project Poultry.”

“We are reaching out to try to help poor families by providing what they need to begin raising chickens,” the Parker businessman said. “We build the chicken coop, provide them with 10 hens, a rooster, 1o halfgrown chicks and 500 pounds of grain to feed the chickens.

We also help them learn what they need to do to care for the chickens.”

He said the chickens can grow into a flock that provides food for the family and also can be a source of income, since the family can sell eggs and — as the flock grows — some of the chickens.

York said he has gained a lot of knowledge about how to care and raise chickens since he started the program in 2014.

“I knew I liked eating chicken but I knew nothing about the care and raising of chickens before we began this program,” he said. “It was a steep learning curve at first, but I was fortunate that the Hondurans I worked with knew all about chickens and helped me learn about how to help families care and raise chickens.”

He said he also talks to them about the Gospel and provides each family with a Bible.

The Parker merchant established a nonprofit organization that he named Operaton Hand Up International in 2004 when he began seeking to help

Parker businessman Lanny York, in the gray shirt, meets with members of the local church during one of his mission trips to Honduras. York founded and heads Operation Hands Up International, which partners with Honduran churches providing poor families with hens, roosters and the equipment to establish a chicken flock.

COURTESY PHOTOS poor people living in the rural mountain villages of Honduras.

“I chose that name because we want to provide the Hondurans a hand up, not visit them and give them a handout,” he said. “It is sort of the same idea about teaching a man to fish instead of just giving him a fish.”

The program is funded by donations. York said he tries to make at least four trips a year to the poverty-stricken areas of Honduras where he and local volunteers set up at least 10 families with chickens.

The local government and schools have asked York to help them with a project to help about 300 undernourished children in the valley where he does his mission work.

“Most of these are children of single mothers and get an average five meals a week,” he said. “We are partnering with several Honduran churches to help these children. Our goal is to help feed all those children, and in partnership with the churches the cost will be 42 cents per meal per day. My goal is to help raise money for this

very important project.”

York said the Honduras project is an extension of longstanding passions for mission work.

He was raised in Southern California and attended Church of the Nazarene Point Loma College. He majored in business administration with the idea of going into the family business.

York said he felt the call to the ministry, moved to Denver in 1974 and joined the staff at Denver First Church of the Nazarene.

He left DFC in 1990 but still had a passion for the ministry and missions. He established his Parker business, Mountain States Payment, which sells and services automatic teller machines. His passion for mission triggered the establishment of the Poultry Project.

“We have great local people in Honduras who work with us. They are all volunteers who want to help their people,” he said. “We also hire some additional workers and try to find men who really need the work because there isn’t a lot of work available in that

valley. On a recent trip we were able to hire a man who had nine children and hadn’t been able to find work in several months.”

The standard daily wage in that area of Honduras is $7 a day, but work is scarce and the majority of men can only find work a couple days a week.

The majority of the Hondurans who work with York are volunteers, and so is he.

“We operate on donations and I try not to spend any of the donations to pay workers,” he said. “But when we need to hire workers we try to find men who need the work and are willing to work hard. Most do but some don’t, and those who don’t work hard only last a day or so with us.”

York said he is looking to add additional projects to his efforts, including providing water filter systems to families.

Statistics show that an average of one in five children die before their fifth birthday from drinking polluted water.

York works in a remote valley near the town of San Antonio de Cortez. He said estimates are that 42,000 people

A Honduran woman and her son hold some of the chickens they received from Project Poultry.

Project Poultry is an outreach to help poor families in rural Honduras, headed by Parker businessman Lanny York and his organization Operation Hands Up International. live within a five-mile radius of the town.

“Most people drink out of the rivers and creeks, and that water is full of intestinal parasites,” he said. “Safe drinking water is for sale but most residents can’t afford to buy it. So we are starting to bring water filter systems to families in the valley. Our goal is to donate 1,000 water filter systems to families in the next two years.”

He also wants to do something about the fact reported by schools in the area that more than 1,300 children are undernourished.

“We know we can’t reach all the children but, as we start planning our trip in September, we want to see how we can provide better nutrition for as many children as possible,” he said.

“We’re rooted in the Denver community,” he said. “Our buyers who buy books for the stores live in and around Denver.”

Their selection of books also differs by location and aims to cater to each demographic. Buyers at the Aspen Grove shopping center, for example, may look to different products than those on Colfax, Vlahos said.

There’s also the warm cup of coffee, the comfortable couch that begs you to stay and special events for people of all ages.

Jim Norris is the co-owner of Mutiny Information Café on South Broadway in Denver, which has operated as a bookstore for about 30 years, under different names and owners.

He believes Amazon is “counterproductive to the community spirit” of independent bookstores and that large chain stores don’t have the same character as indies, he said.

“They’re deliberately made to be generic, so they’re easy to go in and out of,” he said.

Mutiny is “super eclectic,” and a space where shoppers can find comics, used books, vinyl records and visit the in-house coffee bar. Essentially, Norris said, it’s a “pop culture playground.”

The group lived out of a makeshift camp in the mountains and would head down the hill to perform acoustic, harmony-driven tunes for residents and students.

The band’s most famous member is Chris Daniels, who was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2013, and also includes Will Luckey, George Cahill, Rob Galloway and Kevin Milburn.

Despite its popularity in the area, success never came calling, and the group dissolved in 1975. But Boulder alumni and fan of the band Lee Aronsohn decided to track down the members 40 years later for a reunion concert.

The resulting film, “40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie,” is directed by Aronsohn and will be specially opened at the Sie Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, on Friday, Aug. 10.

tiny, the shop has sat in its corner store location across from the state Capitol for decades, she said. Brooks is the third owner.

“Frankly, most books are out of print,” she said. “The publishers have all shrunk down and consolidated and they can’t afford to publish something that’s not a bestseller.”

When a book is no longer published, that’s where independent used bookstores come into the picture, Brooks said, offering recycled copies not available elsewhere.

At least once a week, she said, and including the morning she spoke to Colorado Community Media, Brooks gets a call from one of Tattered Cover’s locations asking if they have a book a customer of theirs can’t find.

Both Brooks and Norris took over their respective stores from past owners with a mission to keep the shops going.

“You can’t see a store like this close,” Brooks said. “It’s just wrong.”

Despite 37 years under the store’s belt, Brooks said, she still gets the Amazon/internet questions on occasion.

“People ask me frequently if the internet is hurting us,” Brooks said.

Shop owners have responded to Amazon differently. Capitol Hill Books sells online through the site.

“It’s that extra little bit that can make the difference,” she said of the profit, which helps them stay open and remain the “neighborhood used bookstore.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Father John Misty at Red Rocks Josh Tillman, better known as Father John Misty, is one of those musicians that doesn’t seem to leave much room for the casual listener. People either find his sharp and, at times, biting lyrics and persona endearing and entertaining or pompous and selfindulgent.

There’s unlikely to be a consensus on the man any time soon, but his music remains fascinating and insightful. While it doesn’t reach the peaks of “I Love You, Honeybear,” this year’s “God’s Favorite Customer” is a straight shot of John Lennon-esque instrumentation and lyricism.

Closing the book on a storied career Pam Nissler is retiring after decades of being a library leader throughout the metro area

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

n the summertime, it’s not uncommon for about 15 family members to gather in the Nissler home for a cookout.

They’ll make barbecue ribs and corn on the cob.

“And s’mores,” said Pam Nissler.

“S’mores are big with the grandkids.”

Those are two things Nissler is looking forward to in her retirement — cooking, which is one of her hobbies, and having more time to spend with her close friends and family.

“Our house is the central gathering place for holidays,” she said, referring to the home in Littleton where she and her husband, Perry, have lived for the past 25 years.

Nissler, 73, is retiring Aug. 31 as executive director of the Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL), following 40 years of working in libraries from Jefferson to Arapahaoe and Douglas counties in a variety of roles that included managerial and directorial positions.

Nissler is like a library celebrity, said Donna Walker, the JCPL’s director of public services, who will assume Nissler’s role on Sept. 1.

“She’s made a big difference in Colorado libraries,” Walker said, adding the state’s libraries have a reputation of being forward-thinking and at the forefront. “Pam helped give them that reputation.”

Career took her to three counties Nissler grew up in Ohio and began her working career as a teacher in an area of Pontiac, Michigan, known

Pam Nissler smiles as she listens to her colleagues during a planning meeting in August 2017. Nissler joined the Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) in 2009 and became executive director in 2011. However, during the course of nearly 50 years, Nissler spent about 40 serving Denver-area libraries in a variety of managerial and directorial roles.

as the projects.

“There were so many kids with so many problems that had nothing to do with school,” Nissler said.

They faced serious life challenges, including poverty and abuse, she said.

But Nissler noticed that the school librarian had a great relationship with the students.

“She had the opportunity to work with them one-on-one and really help make school a little easier for them,” Nissler said. “That was my motivation to get my master’s degree.”

Nissler began her library career in 1970 — the same year she graduated with a master’s in library science from the University of Denver and moved to Littleton — when she accepted a position as the children’s librarian at the Bemis Public Library in Littleton. In the 12 years she was there, she held a couple of different

positions, including the library’s director for seven years, before she left in 1982 to become a stay-at-home mom.

Nissler met her husband Perry of 40 years when she was working at Bemis.

He was Littleton’s city attorney at the time. The two raised four children — two boys, Will and Chris; and Nissler became a stepmother to twin girls, Susie and Stacey. All live locally, except Will, who is in the Navy. The Nisslers now have six grandchildren.

Nissler was hired by the Arapahoe Library District in 1986 where she held a variety of jobs before becoming manager of Koelbel Library in Centennial. She left in 1993 when she had her second son.

But three years later, Nissler began a career with Douglas County Libraries to help oversee construction of the Highlands Ranch Library. She eventually became associate director of community services with Douglas County Libraries and held the position until 2008.

Nissler joined JCPL in 2009 as director of public services. The JCPL Board of Trustees hired her in 2011 as executive director when former executive director Marcellus Turner accepted a position with the Seattle Public Library.

“I’ve loved everywhere I worked,” Nissler said. “Libraries are important to the community because they welcome everyone and they provide opportunities to learn, to connect, to discover and to create.”

‘Always there as a mentor’ Nissler has accomplished much during her time with the JCPL. Along with completing major remodels of the Golden and Columbine libraries, she led the JCPL during an economic downturn, then managed it through a successful mill levy initiative in 2015.

“She followed through with the promises made to voters,” said Peg Hooper, JCPL’s adult services manager and manager of the Standley Lake Library in Arvada.

Pam Nissler speaks at an Edgewater City Council meeting in April 2017. Nissler is retiring as executive director of the Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) on Aug. 31, and one of her accomplishments was partnering with the city of Edgewater to build a 10,000-squarefoot library as part of the city’s new Civic Those projects included catching up on maintenance and refurbishing projects, increasing books and materials, restoring hours and updating technology.

“She wants us to be a great library and she worked really hard to make that happen,” Hooper said.

Hooper has known Nissler for about 20 years — she worked under her for 10 years at Douglas County Libraries and has been in her current position with JCPL for nine years.

“She cares about staff personally,” Hooper said. “She’s the first to say congratulations when someone has a baby or condolences at the loss of a family member.”

As she looks back on her tenure in Jefferson County, Nissler is pleased and proud of how JCPL’s new service model has developed.

The new service model, Nissler said, entails being a place where people are comfortable to study or read in private, being involved with the greater community, having approachable library staff who follow through with patron’s inquiries and ensuring people can come find what they want at the library.

“It’s satisfying seeing how pleased the patrons are,” Nissler said. “You don’t try to generate interest, you reflect it, in terms of what people want from their library.”

Walker, who has been with JCPL for six years, has known Nissler since the early 1990s when she had a part-time position in the Arapahoe Library District.

She made her visions clear, but “let me fly with it,” Walker said. “She was always there as a mentor and reminded me what we were aiming for. That’s her style — to let people do their jobs.”

Walker is proud of what has been accomplished under Nissler’s leadership.

“She secured the future of the library and positioned us well for the future,” Walker said. “She’s leaving it with solid footing.”

Learning life lessons through horses and friendships Westernaires accepting applications to join youth equestrian organization

BECOME A WESTERNAIRE General information about the Westernaires can be found by browsing the organization’s website: www.westernaires.org.

Additional questions can be answered by calling 303-279-3767 and leaving a voicemail.

Questions may be submitted through the Contact Us page on the website, or by email at membership@westernaires.org.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Being in the Westernaires isn’t just about learning the art of horsemanship.

Westernaires learn life lessons that they take with them as they age to adults and beyond — discipline, teamwork, responsibility, self-confidence, leadership.

“They’re challenged, but there’s lots of benefits,” said Jerry Bauer, an alumnus who has been involved with the group as an adult volunteer for more than 20 years. “They get the chance to be kids and have fun in a structured environment.”

The Westernaires, a nonprofit volunteer-run youth equestrian organization, is accepting applications for its annual new member registration for youth ages 9-14. Deadline to apply is Aug. 24 in order to attend the kickoff meeting that evening.

Previous experience with horses is not necessary — all youth enter as a Tenderfoot, no matter his or her competence level with horses — and receive progressive training throughout their time with the Westernaires.

As a Tenderfoot, youth learn safety

PHOTOS BY CHRISTY STEADMAN and other horse care skills. As they as advance through the years, they will learn to ride and eventually, specialty acts such as trick riding, mounted precision drills, vaulting and/or roman riding, for example.

Tenderfoot is the hardest year, said Morgan Young, 15, of Littleton who

INNER CIRCLE FOUNDATION’S DRIVE AGAINST CANCER

REGISTER BY AUGUST 23, 12PM

has been involved with Westernaires for six years.

“It’s the learning curve,” she said.

“But eventually you get hooked and all the years after that become more and more fun.”

Westernaires has about 300-400 volunteers and instructors. Along with the mounted riding, other special talents the youth can learn include trick roping, chariot-driving or bullwhipcracking. The Westernaires celebrates Western heritage, and this training is unique in that the specialty skills the youth can participate in may not be easily found elsewhere, said alumna and current adult volunteer Karen Kronauge.

“Some of these skills are dying arts,” she said. “This is one of those rare places where we have lots of experts who are willing to share their knowledge.”

All youth graduate from Westernaires when they graduate from high school.

Megan Kirstein, 18, of Littleton has been with Westernaires for five years and will graduate this October.

“It’s helped me grow as a person,”

Kirstein said, adding one makes a lot of friends through the organization.

Kirstein will start college soon but will stay local and hopes to continue riding horses and stay involved with the Westernaires.

“It’s always cute seeing the younger kids as they enter in their first year,” Kirstein said, “and watch them grow.

By the end, they love it.”

Currently, there are about 1,000 youth involved with the Westernaires.

The organization accepts about 250 new members each year.

Annual dues are $30 for the year, which goes toward maintenance and utilities for the facilities, located adjacent to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 W. Sixth Ave., in Golden.

Additional fees include purchasing the Westernaire practice uniform, and for some, may include costume purchases and horse rental. Because most of the youth riders in the program do not own a horse, the organization has about 200 horses that are available for rental for $15 per class.

Lucas Cook of Evergreen has been in Westernaires for five years and his favorite horse to work with is one owned by the Westernaires named Nugget.

“You know how with animals, you can just form a connection with them?” Cook, 11, said. “Nugget knows when I’m sad or happy. Actually, any mood you can think of. And I know his moods. We have history together.”

Westernaires offers youth a learning environment where they are supported to stretch and expand their skill sets, Bauer said. The end result, he added, is that the youths’ performances are just as good, if not better, than any professional out there.

“They will literally blow your mind,” Bauer said.

Glen VanHorn, one of the 300 or 400 adults who volunteer with the Westernaires, passes out flags on July 25 as the youth get ready for their performance at the Western Heritage Show, a free event where community members are invited to celebrate National Day of the Cowboy.

STANDARDS FROM PAGE 14

“Basically, the Low Emission Vehicle standards currently under discussion would keep Colorado … on the current standards, even if the federal standards are weakened,” Smith said. If these advanced clean car standards are adopted, he added, they would “protect Colorado from whatever happens in D.C. from these rollbacks.”

America’s clean car standards were finalized in 2012 under thenPresident Barack Obama. These standards require automakers to ensure that motor vehicles — cars, pickup trucks and SUVs, for example — are more fuel efficient and achieve ongoing improvements.

The Obama administration’s rules “mandate an average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon for the 2025 model year,” while the Trump administration’s proposal “would freeze the increase of average fuel economy standards after 2021 at

about 37 miles per gallon,” according to the Washington Post.

Speakers at the July 31 press conference noted that clean car standards protect public health and clean air in local communities, while driving innovation and saving consumers money.

“Ozone pollution damages developing lungs, potentially causing health issues that can last their whole lives,” Clanahan said. “In order to keep our children healthy, we need clean car standards that reduce air pollution and all the damage it does to our children.”

Colorado is one of 12 states and the District of Columbia that have followed California’s lead to set its own tailpipe restrictions to try to curb greenhouse-gas emissions — protected by a legal waiver granted under the 1970 Clean Air Act. “Maintaining our Colorado way of life as our population grows is a challenge,” Gutwein said at the press conference. But air quality is “something that matters now and into the future.”

lic Health and Environment website states that Hickenlooper’s “executive order does not direct CDPHE to propose a zero-emission vehicle program or to mandate the sale of electric vehicles.”

However, Smith believes that zeroemission vehicle standards could give Colorado consumers more options for electric vehicle purchases and help push down the cost as the volume of sales increases.

This would “further contribute to reduced air pollution and carbon pollution,” Smith said, “and accelerate the build-out of Colorado’s 21st century electric vehicle infrastruc-

ture.”

The Air Quality Control Commission will discuss the low-emission vehicle standards during its regular August meeting, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Aug. 16 in the Sabin/Cleere Conference Rooms at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver.

“Poor air quality affects everyone who breathes,” Babcock said.

“Colorado can be a leader in protecting public health by pushing back against the (Trump) administration’s ill-advised rollback of America’s clean car standards.”

‘Over the Top’ shows wartime persuasion Posters, printed materials from century ago illustrate how world has changed

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Given today’s lightning-fast responses to national and international events and government actions, we may have forgotten the earlier days when public persuasion involved posters and printed materials posted prominently in public spaces. In the World War I period, 1914-18, especially after 1917 when the U.S. Congress declared war, United States residents were deluged with visual reminders to join and support the troops, support government expenses via purchase of Liberty Bonds — and hate those evil Huns …

That war began in Europe in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and cast the Central Powers — Germany and Austria-Hungary — against the Allies — France, Great Britain, the Russian Empire.

Belgium was soon devastated by German invasion and conflict as France contested.

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and many citizens opposed U.S. involvement at first, but by 1917, German submarines were sinking U.S. and British merchant vessels and word

came of the Zimmerman Telegram from Germany to Mexico, urging the latter to enter the war on the side of the Central Powers … Wilson asked Congress to declare war and propaganda posters and materials began to appear in earnest.

The Littleton Museum has opened a new exhibit, “Over the Top,” based on that propaganda. An introductory statement contrasts propaganda to advertising.

Propaganda, it advises, “presents what is desirable … Influences thinking … Is mainly used in politics to sell ideas,” while advertising “Influences consumption of products and services, directs purchases and is mainly seen in business and to sell products …” Estimates show the U.S. population was about 30 percent immigrants at that time, and material was slanted towards existing biases and suspicions. The source for much material was a powerful Committee on Public Information.

An interesting local-angle sideline is a photo and feature on one George Creel, a former Denver Post reporter, Wilson supporter and crusader who suggested formation of the aforementioned committee/agency, which grew large. It coaxed support of fighting the German submarines and land combat as well. Graphics on many posters are well-designed and very colorful and eye-catching, A gallery visitor might try to place themselves in an ances-

tor’s shoes as they absorb the pitch for loyalty.

“Over the Top,” World Where did they War I propaganda, live? Who might is displayed at the have been their Littleton Museum, neighbors?

Admisfunding was sion is free. 303-795needed to fight 3950. this war and the campaign to buy Liberty Bonds was intense, implying that it was the duty of everyone to support the war effort financially. People were urged to prove loyalty by enlisting in the military services, giving their government financial support via the purchase of Liberty Bonds — and of course, work up serious hatred for and paranoia over those Huns, who are depicted in “pickelhaube” helmets, rounded metal, topped with a little spearpoint.

Four Liberty Bond drives raised over $17 billion.

Posters encouraged an emotional response, with caricatures of the foe.

Photography was effective as propaganda. A cluster of pictures with text suggests how people at home might help the effort: Fort Logan soldiers hold loaves of bread; women worked on ordinance production lines; a Women’s Liberty Loan Committee

met; Mina Van Winkle, head of the U.S. Food Administration’s Lecture Bureau, traveled promoting Victory Gardens.

An interactive spot on the back wall offers questions and factoid answers found by lifting a little door.

To the left of the gallery entrance is a bleak photo of a snow-covered field filled with trenches and barbed wire — with equally bleak information bits: 1,666,289 estimated casualties; 25,000 miles of trenches in France, Germany, Belgium; Dinant, a small Belgian town, lost 874 men, women and children during the devastating German invasion May 23, 1914. A Big Bertha cannon had an eight-mile range; 59 air raids over England in 1915-16 (London bombed eight times); 171 tons of chlorine gas used …

Another feature of the era’s colorful graphics was on the covers of sheet music, for songs still familiar: “Over There,” “I Didn’t Raise My Boy to be a Soldier,” “Johnny, Get Your Gun.” Plan a visit with a bit of time to read the well-presented text to appreciate the interconnections and impact of this propaganda material. It might have appeared in Littleton at post offices, public buildings, the train station, on walls everywhere, here and across the nation. Omnipresent messages geared to affecting one’s actions seem a century away — and somehow familiar …

Keilan Wilbanks is an avid cornhole player who has become very proficient at the sport. He organizes a casual tournament each Wednesday evening at Reeds Southside Tavern in Lone Tree.

Cornhole offers good time for participants of all ages

Y

ou can find Keilan Wilbanks playing cornhole three or four nights a week — he practices almost daily.

“It’s a social thing. You can do it outside or inside,” he said. “It’s kind of like a park game, and it’s fun to do.”

Wilbanks, of Denver, is among the devotees to cornhole, a simple game that essentially requires the player to throw a corn-filled bag into a hole in a platform. The game’s popularity is growing in Colorado, and you can find people tossing bags at many sports bars, restaurants and backyards throughout the Denver metro area.

“I do believe cornhole has increased in popularity,” said Denver resident Stan Mika, who plays and designs custom cornhole boards. “It’s because anyone can play no matter their age, their gender or their physical condition. It’s an easy way to be outside socializing with friends and family.”

And some players, he added, say they get better after a beer or two.

“The American Cornhole Championships were recently broadcast on ESPN, which speaks to its rising popularity,” Mika said. “Kind of reminds me of the attention the U.S. curling team got after the Olympics. Cornhole is just accessible. After buying boards and bags, no extra investment is required.”

A game for everyone Cornhole is a simple game that has been played in some manner for centuries.

SEE CORNHOLE, P29

CORNHOLE Most sports develop special terminology, and cornhole has its own vocabulary. These terms were obtained from Wikipedia and other various sources.

• Cow pie (ace) – Bag that lands on the board and is worth one point.

• Airmail – A bag that does not bounce or slide on the board but goes directly into the hole. Sometimes called a swish.

• Back door or dirty rollout – A bag that goes over a blocker bag and into the hole.

• Backstop – A bag that lands past the hole but creates a backboard to prevent a slider from going off the board.

• Blocker – An ace or cow pie that lands in front of the hole to block the hole from a slider.

• Cornucopia – When a player throws all four bags into the hole during one inning. This is also called a fourbagger.

• Cornhole – A bag that falls into the hole, which is worth three points.

• Dirty bag – A bag that is on the ground or is hanging off the board and touching the ground.

TERMINOLOGY • Flop – A type of toss that doesn’t spin horizontally or vertically.

• Leprechaun – When a player lands all four bags on the board without getting any in the hole.

• Screaming eagle – A bag thrown beyond the board without hitting the board.

• Slippery granny – Scoring three bags in a row on the board.

• Trip dip – When a player cornholes three out of four bags on a single round.

• Hooker – A bag hitting the board and hooking or curving around a locker and going into the hole.

• Jumper – A bag that strikes another bag on the board, causing it to jump up into the cornhole.

• Sally – A toss that is thrown too weakly and lands on the ground before reaching the board.

• Shucker – When a player throws a bag that strikes an opposing players’ bag, knocking it off the board.

• Slider – A cornhole that slides into the hole.

ime doesn’t stop for anybody.

This is a subject that most of the time I would prefer to overlook but it is impossible.

Time flies and there is nothing to do about it except take advantage of each day and look forward.

Seems like it OVERTIME was just a few days ago that the baseball championships at All-City Field wrapped up action for the 2017-18 sports seasons.

Well, the 2018-19 season is Jim Benton already here as fall sports teams began practice Aug. 6.

According to CHSAANow.com the first scrimmages and contests can be held Aug. 9 in boys golf, softball and boys tennis.

Cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, boys soccer, spirit and volleyball can start competition on Aug. 16.

Football season opens on Aug. 23 and fans, players and coaches are actually looking forward to the campaign.

Football games should definitely be more entertaining with the return for the next two seasons of league alignments that follow traditional groupings from years ago.

Tied for third Parker golfer Shane Bertsch was 18-under-par but finished in a third place tie in the CoBank Colorado Open golf tournament held July 27-29 at the Green Valley Ranch golf course.

Bertsch was the 36-hole leader in the tournament, which was reduced to 54 holes because heavy rain made the course unplayable for the first round. He finished with rounds of 65, 64 and 69 for a 198 total, which was one stroke shy of a playoff for the title. He earned $9,500.

Former Douglas County state high school champion Kyler Dunkle, now a senior at the University of Utah, was the low amateur in the tournament as he tied for ninth place with a 12-under-par 204. He carded rounds of 66, 70 and 68.

In second year, Broncos coach in must-win situation Vance Joseph says he knows what the problems were during last year’s 5-11 campaign

BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

No, Vance Joseph never felt as if he was drinking out of a firehose when the Denver Broncos stumbled through a 5-11 season in his first year as head coach last year.

That’s how general manager John Elway has repeatedly described what it must have been like for a first-year head coach in the NFL. “That’s not my personality, so I didn’t feel that way,’’ Joseph told The Associated Press. “My focus was purely on trying to flip it and get us back on a winning path. I think being a young head coach and being a young coach is a different deal. I’m not a young coach. I’ve been a part of teams that have gone through adversity so I kind of knew what the issues were.”

Turnovers.

A sieve of an offensive line.

Locker room rifts.

A lack of chemistry, the byproduct of another protracted quarterback competition.

Still, “I think overwhelmed, that’s not the word,” Joseph said.

Denver’s dive, which included eight losses by double digits, was a shock to a city and a franchise that had a ticker-tape parade just two years earlier, and Elway acknowledged that he pondered firing Joseph at season’s end.

“We thought about different options, but ultimately, my goal was to stick with Vance and give him that shot,” Elway said in January.

Elway, who had riled up his players by calling them soft during an eight-game skid, said he shared in the blame for Joseph’s deficient debut and needed to surround him with better personnel.

Joseph replaced nearly half of his coaching staff while Elway embarked on a massive roster upgrade.

He signed quarterback Case Keenum in free agency and all 10 members of his ballyhooed 2018 draft class spent four years in college and most were captains. That’s a far cry from the previous two classes that were loaded with raw athleticism, longterm projects and plenty of question marks.

Joseph seems much more comfortable in his second season.

“I don’t see it as a do-over. It’s hard in this league. You don’t get do-overs, unfortunately. But it’s a new year and obviously last year wasn’t good enough,” Joseph said.

The hands-off philosophy Joseph brought to Denver last year has vanished.

“I think it’s a fine line between micromanaging and coaching coaches. And I didn’t want to ever be micromanaged as an assistant coach because in my mind I was doing the best I could for that head coach and the best I could for that football team.

And I took great pride in coaching my guys and being the best group on the field every day in the meeting rooms or on the field,’’ Joseph said.

“So, in my mind, every coach would feel that way and every coach would want to coach that way. So, I was cautious in interrupting coaches’ drills, interrupting coaches’ ways of doing things because I had an experienced staff.’’

That led to the notion that Joseph was still acting like an assistant coach SEE BRONCOS, P39

CORNHOLE FROM PAGE 27

Two players (or four for doubles) take turns throwing bags filled with dried corn at a raised inclined platform with a hole at the far end. The boxes are set 27 feet apart for tournaments and usually 24 feet apart from the front of the box to box for more casual games.

A bag that goes into the hole scores three points and one on the board is worth one point. Matches are broken down into innings or frames with each player throwing four bags. Any bag that touches the ground during the throw does not count.

Cancellation scoring is used and the first team or player to 21 with a difference of two points is the winner. Any of a team’s or individual’s bags knocked into the hole by the opposition counts.

Many contestants are adept at throwing the bags of corn while holding refreshments in their other hand. Great athletic skills are not needed to play the game. Young, old, male and female can participate in cornhole, a social game that allows for interaction between competitors.

Play Mile High organizes cornhole leagues and tournaments in bars and parks around the Denver area. A Colorado state tournament is set for Oct.27 at Softball Country at 2101 W. 64th Avenue in southwestern Adams County.

Plus, there are numerous national tournaments for singles and doubles participants each year, with increasing tourney prize money ranging from $36,000 to $68,000.

Caleb Valdez and his mother, Naomi Hettig of Lone Tree, take part in a casual cornhole tournament on Aug. 1 at Reeds Southside Tavern in Lone Tree.

JIM BENTON The game, also known by such names as tailgate toss, bean bag toss, baggo, corn toss and bags game, is easy to play in the backyard or in parking lots and tailgate gatherings to keep people entertained before barbecues or games.

Cornhole has also started to make inroads as a charity event. Several fundraising tournaments have been held this summer.

Ford Church, executive director of the Cottonwood Institute, said a few years ago the educational nonprofit organization decided to raise money with a cornhole tournament instead of another golf tournament.

This year, The Throwdown: A Charity Cornhole Tournment was scheduled for Aug. 5 at Union Station in downtown Denver, with 32 two-person teams

scheduled to play in challenge and competitive divisions.

Origins debated Mika, who started his own business that he calls The Colorado Cornhole Guy, didn’t speculate on the origin of the game, which has been and will continue to be debated.

Many argue that ancient civilizations invented cornhole by tossing rocks at holes in the ground. Others claim Native Americans — citing the Blackhawk tribe in Illinois — filled pigs’ bladders with dried beans and tossed them competitively.

Germans maintain they started cornhole with burlap bags filled with a pound of corn, but when the price of corn swelled, the game lost popularity.

German immigrants began playing in

Cincinnati during the 1800s where corn was abundant and available. Then there was Kentucky farmer Jedidiah McGillicuddy, who apparently devised the game to play on the farm with friends and family.

Still, the game probably hasn’t changed much in one aspect because, no matter if it is a game that involves family, friends, a league or a tournament, it is natural for players to become competitive.

“It gets competitive,” said Alicia Shoulder of Lone Tree. “It takes a little bit of practice. It’s not like super easy.

When you first start you are really not that good, but you get there. It is just fun to play.”

As simple as the game might seem, it can get difficult at times for elite players, who need to determine the correct footwork and bag release and use speed shots, spin shots or stop shots. Players can grip the bag on the side and give it back spin, or hold it flat so the bag lands like a pancake.

“Every approved bag has a slick side and sticky side,” explained Wilbanks. “If you are going first, you want to block so you use the sticky side with a higher trajectory and land it right in front of the hole so it sticks there. If you go second, you can go with a slider, a little lower trajectory and harder push to push the bag in — or you have the dunker which goes over the top and straight in the hole.

“It is more like a chess game. You have to figure out what your opponent wants to do first. If they are sliding people you want to block them. If they are dunkers, you had better get your bags in position to get them all in.”

last year while offensive coordinator Mike McCoy continued operating as though he were still a head coach before getting fired at midseason.

Joseph vehemently denies that was the case.

“I thought Mike did a great job every week of accepting his role and we talked every week about the game plan, so that’s not true,’’ Joseph said.

“I worked for a lot of coaches who didn’t micromanage me, Gary Kubiak, Marvin Lewis, great guys who have won a lot of games. So, that’s not true. Our staff last year we discussed every game plan that we put forward and again it was the best thing for our players at the time.

“So, our thought process early on was to be an explosive offense. We were 3-1. It wasn’t perfect.

But it was working. Now, turning the ball over, not protecting the quarterback, those things affected how we played on offense. But not Mike trying to be in total control, that’s not true.’’

Still, Joseph said he has to coach his coaches better, and by that, he means challenging them.

“I don’t coach the receivers, I don’t coach the running backs or offensive line. I’m a defensive backs guy, I’m a defensive guy. So, I think asking the right questions and triggering more thought process on how we canPublic do things better,” he said.

However, it is hard to overlook the assistant coaches that Valor Christian head coach Ed McCaffrey has assembled for his first season at the helm of the Eagles.

The 15 assistants on McCaffrey staff are loaded with National Football League and college playing experience and many are well-schooled as high school football coaches.

Six coaches, including McCaffrey, have won a combined 10 Super Bowl rings and Richard Harvey was on two teams that played but lost in Super Bowls.

Centura Health connects EMS, hospital records STAFFREPORT

Being aware of the signs, symptoms and treatment that a patient received in his or her home and in the ambulance on the way to the hospital can be a huge asset to providers in the hospital. That data is now easily accessible by physicians in the hospital to seamlessly continue the care that was started in the field.

Centura Health has partnered with ESO Health Data Exchange to bridge the gap between emergency medical services and hospitals by providing real-time bi-directional data sharing. The exchange is offered at all Centura Health locations.

“Integrating between emergency medical services and the receiving physicians is a large step forward in improving the care of critically ill patients,” Matthew Brougham, DO and medical director at Littleton Adventist Hospital, West Littleton Emergency Room, said in a news release. “It’s collaborative ideas like these that drive better practice and outcomes.”

Users can access patient care records in the hospital’s electronic health record, which delivers records and discrete data to receiving facilities and returns demographic, billing and clinical outcome data to EMS.
