About me I am an alumni of the University of Southern California dental school. I moved to Castle Rock in 1994 with my wife, Lisa, to be near her family. We’ve really enjoyed raising our children here over the last 24 years and being a part of this incredible community!

My passion is to help people feel good about themselves and their smiles and overall oral health and hygiene.

Getting into dentistry I’ve always been interested in science and medicine, but when I had an opportunity to work in a dental lab while I was in college, I knew that was the professional path I wanted to take. I saw how attention to detail to create top-quality dental work could benefit people. This experience helped me to form my belief that exceptional dentistry can so completely affect a person’s overall health, that it can positively change a person’s life, attitude and total well-being.

Work achievements I became part of a group of dentists dedicated to helping each other use Invisalign as effectively as possible.

Invisalign is a clear, removable method of straightening teeth without wires and brackets.

I received an award for being in the top 10 percent of doctors in this group and I feel blessed to be able to learn from the best in dentistry. I am also proud to have earned the extraordinary distinction of achieving Elite Top 1 Percent Invisalign providers worldwide.

What I’m most excited about for my patients right now are the new advances with Invisalign. The benefits it offers to improve unhealthy bites is changing the lives of many of my patients.

A proud parent Spending time with my family in our

beautiful Colorado mountains is definitely my go-to for fun. Lisa and I are proud of our four children — Ryan, 22; Lauren, 19; Joshua, 18; and Rachel, 16.

We enjoy camping, hiking, exploring the backcountry on motorcycles, and skiing those powder days every chance we get.

For nearly a decade, I’ve been debate coach for my kids’ teams, and am thrilled that my daughters were invited this year to be a part of a team that travels the world and represents America. I’ve enjoyed mentoring my youngest son in Boy Scouts and am proud to say he’s finishing up his Eagle Scout project soon. I’m also looking forward to further exploring the East Coast when I visit my eldest son who is pursuing his MD/PhD at John’s Hopkins University.

My advice I have found that “fail forward” has been central to finding balance for me.

This means that we shouldn’t be afraid to try new things or to make mistakes.

It’s often through our mistakes that we learn and grow into a better version of ourselves.

Native American summit coming to Sedalia

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Cherokee Ranch & Castle, in partnership with The Tipi Raisers, is holding a grant-funded Youth Summit and Powwow from Sept. 6-8 in what the foundation hopes will be an opportunity to bridge gaps between Native American and non-native culture and a place to discuss community issues.

The Tipi Raisers is a nonprofit based in South Dakota located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The organization collects donations and resources for residents of the reservation and work as cultural ambassadors.

The foundation will bring in the Colorado State University Native American Cultural Center to facilitate

a panel of CSU students who will discuss questions younger students may face in the future related to cultural issues. Cherokee Ranch, 6113 N. Daniels Park Road in Sedalia, is expecting roughly 50 youths in total, about half from the Douglas County School District, to participate in the summit.

Some events are ticketed and open to the public. A dinner with presentations about Native American culture will take place at 6 p.m. Sept. 7. A Native American Powwow will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 8 at the Johnson Dairy Farm, 5490 N. U.S. Highway 85 in Sedalia. Traditional songs and dances will take place during the day alongside vendors and booths.

Three will vie to become Castle Rock’s mayor Race is for the town’s first mayor elected by voters

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock residents now know who the candidates are to become their next mayor.

The town confirmed Aug. 27 that three men made the ballot to run for Castle Rock’s first mayor elected by a townwide vote of the people.

Election Day is Nov. 6, but ballots will be mailed to voters in mid-October.

The candidates are Randy Reed, the town’s former mayor; Jason Gray, owner of Crowfoot Valley Coffee; and IT professional Charles Fletcher III. Making the ballot required candidates to collect 10 signatures from each of the town’s newly formed six districts by Aug. 27.

A fourth individual vying for the seat, Kenny Lowenberg, did not collect enough signatures from each district and will not appear on the ballot, said Town Clerk Lisa Anderson.

The town transitions to an at-large mayor system this year after decades of appointing its mayor from among a seven-member council. The change in governance began with a citizen-led petition that sent the question — should the town’s mayor be elected at-large — to voters in the November 2017 election.

They said yes by a roughly 2-1 margin.

Under the new system, the mayor will be voted on by the town’s registered voters but will not have more power than other members of council.

As candidates emerged in recent months, some residents noted not all had supported the at-large referendum, an issue that garnered criticism on social media and from the likes of Councilmember George Teal.

Teal has endorsed Reed — both were two of the five original petitioners who got the at-large issue on the 2017 ballot. Fletcher and Gray were not supporters of the at-large referendum, at least not initially. Lowenberg said he didn’t vote in the at-large election.

Castle Rock announces fire chief finalists Longtime agency leader Art Morales retired in May

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock has announced the top five finalists in its search for the town’s next fire chief with a list that includes a mix of new and familiar names.

Among the finalists is acting fire chief, Norris Croom, who stepped up from his position as deputy chief when Chief Art Morales retired in May. Morales served 15 years with the town. He retired suddenly, citing health reasons and a desire to leave without drawing much attention.

Croom has served with Castle Rock for 32 years, according to his LinkedIn profile, starting as a volunteer firefighter in the 1980s.

The town of roughly 65,000 received more than 100 applications in the nationwide search and narrowed the pool to four names from in and outside Castle Rock in addition to Croom.

Castle Rock scheduled a community forum on Sept. 5 for residents to hear from each candidate and provide written feedback. The chief will be appointed by Town Manager David Corliss. Town council must approve his appointment, which will likely come in mid-September, according to a town news release.

Standardized test score results released in August show that the Douglas County School District improved from last year and outperformed the state in several areas.

Under the Colorado Measures of Academic Success standards, students take science, math, social studies and English language arts tests at the end of each school year. Test results tell how students are performing and growing compared to their peers across the district and state, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

In English language arts (known as ELA) and math, grades three through eight are tested. In science, grades five, eight and 11 are tested. In social studies, grades four and seven are tested.

The state uses a sampling approach for social studies and tests one-third of elementary and middle students.

DCSD improved in the majority of test areas. In ELA, math and science,

all grades saw a rise in the “met or exceeded expectations category” from the 2016-17 school year. The district saw slight drops in third-, fourth- and sixth-grade math by less than 1 percentage point. High school science saw a 0.8 percentage point drop.

The district outscored the state and some neighboring districts on the PSAT and SAT, which are used for scholarship and college entry applications. DCSD’s average score on the SAT was 1088, compared to the state at 1014.

Cherry Creek School District’s average score was 1082 and Jefferson County Public Schools’ was 1056.

Littleton Public Schools outperformed DCSD with an average score of 1110.

In a media release, Douglas County School District Superintendent Thomas Tucker commended the district for its accomplishments but highlighted the need for continuous improvement.

“I want to thank the students, educators and families for their commitment to education,” Tucker said in a media release. “These results are something to be proud of and we have much to celebrate in Douglas County.

However, we must continue to strive for even more.”

Terry Schamberger, on his road to recovery

ADDICTION, MENTAL HEALTH

‘INHERENTLY LINKED’ For many, substance abuse is a way of self-medicating

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

erry Schamberger took his last alcoholic drink on July 1, 2007, about 27 years after he drank his first beer at 13.

Alcohol, he believes, was about to cost him his family.

“I knew my kids were being affected by it. They saw the problem that I had. I think Karin was on the verge of potentially leaving me,” he said of his wife. “I knew that if I wanted to have any kind of life with them I was probably going to have to do something.”

He is 51 now, celebrating 11 years as a sober man.

A longtime Highlands Ranch resident, Schamberger started drinking during a traumatic personal period in his life. As he got older, alcohol became his door to fun, but also helped push down Schamberger feelings of loss and childhood traumas and calm the emotional storm inside. It would be more than 20 years before he would receive treatment for his depression.

He understands now, he said, how his need to drink was unequivocally intertwined with the state of his mental health. And how both issues needed to be addressed to overcome his addiction.

About this series Half of those struggling with a substance use disorder — whether with alcohol or drugs, such as marijuana — also are dealing with a mental illness, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Today’s report, the fifth installment in Colorado Community Media’s ongoing Time to Talk series about the state of mental health in Douglas County, delves into that reality with the personal stories of some of our community members. It also explores how the high cost of treatment is prohibitive even in our generally affluent county. Our next, and final, part will look at the mental health challenges among women, families, seniors and the workplace.

Stress, social status among reasons for teen substance use

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition found in a community-needs assessment from the TriCounty Health Department that more than 26 percent of high school students in the Douglas County School District — about 1 in 4 — reported having at least one drink in the past 30 days in 2013.

More than 13 percent — about 1 in 8 students — reported binge drinking.

In the 2017 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, about 16 percent of students at the county and state level — or 1 in 6 — reported binge drinking on at least one of the past 30 days.

A common place where heavy or binge drinking occurs is at underage parties, said John Douglas, executive director of the TriCounty Health Department.

“It is often a social event,” Douglas said of reasons young people binge drink. “Whether it’s in your friend’s basement or a vacant lot or whatever, you’re consuming fast.”

Binge drinking is defined as a pattern of drinking that brings a person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above .08 percent.

A man will typically reach that BAC level when consuming five or more drinks in roughly two hours. For women, binge drinking means consuming four or more drinks in that same timeframe.

Young people often use substances to cope with stress and the pressures of life, said

As sobriety set in, he finally found joy in living.

“It’s almost like really the only life that I had has been the last 11 years,” Schamberger said, “where I’ve really felt life.”

‘A double-headed monster’ According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a national philanthropy supporting health-based research, Douglas County ranked as the healthiest county in Colorado in 2018 for the third consecutive year.

High graduation rates, ample opportunities to exercise and a low unemployment rate were cited among key reasons.

And a 2018 report by the Colorado Health Institute, a nonpartisan health research organization, states Douglas County residents boast some of the best rates for good mental health and access to care in the state.

But in Douglas County, where the median household income is $109,292 — the seventh-highest in the nation among counties with a population of 65,000 or more, according to county demographic reports — alcohol abuse, including binge drinking, among adults and youth is a paramount concern, said John Douglas, director of Tri-County Health De-

Binge drinking is deadliest form of alcohol consumption

Steve Martinez, a substance abuse prevention coordinator who oversees the Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, a network of local agencies that work to prevent youth substance abuse.

Several high school members of the Douglas County Youth Leadership Board, part of the coalition, agreed that substances are a way for local teens to gain social status but also to cope with stress or other issues.

Karston Ferrier, 15, a junior at Castle View High School, said he commonly sees drinking and vaping among students in Douglas County schools.

Brady Kuzinski, 16, also a junior at Castle View, believes kids use substances for “a huge range” of reasons, from helping to deal with family issues to stress.

Mia Hebinck, a 15-year-old student at Mountain Vista High School, said the level of substance use varies by school. She believes kids use drugs and alcohol less because of peer pressure and more because of low self-esteem or anxiety.

Ferrier, Kuzinski and Hebinck said they choose not to use alcohol or drugs because they do not believe the consequences — on their health or their performance at school and in activities — are worth it.

But for many of their peers, “I feel like part of it is an ego or status thing,” Hebinck said. “I also think when kids are stressed out about school, or stressed out about their family life, they might try a substance to escape the real world.”

partment, which provides a range of health services in Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams counties.

People with higher incomes and level of education may be more likely to drink, Douglas said. That’s partially because alcohol can be more expensive than street drugs, but also because “folks with higher incomes are more likely to be able to do things like go out to eat or to do social events — and those events are likely to have alcohol as part of the theme.”

Nationally, 7 percent of adults in 2015 reported heavy alcohol use in the past month and nearly 27 percent of adults said they had engaged Douglas in binge drinking in the past month, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

A community-needs assessment from the Tri-County Health Department reported that between 2012 and 2014 nearly 16 percent of all adults in Douglas County and nearly 20 percent of adults with children under 18 reported binge drinking. About 1 in 5 adults binge drink in Colorado, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, multiple national surveys indicate about half of individuals who experience a substance use disorder also are dealing with a

‘He really still takes one day at a time’ Family shares son’s struggle with marijuana; experts warn of drug’s ‘insidious’ nature

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For Kendra Rhoades, the problem was not convincing her or her husband that their teenage son Jacob struggled with substance abuse.

The problem was convincing Jacob, even after his marijuana use escalated into multiple school expulsions, an instance of cocaine and alcohol use, and his placement in an outpatient rehabilitation program, she said.

“I think when a child or adult will compromise anything or everything for a drug,” Kendra said, “they’re addicted.”

Jacob, now 17, is nine months sober. He was not ready to speak about his experiences with substance use but gave his mother and sister, Cienna, 14, permission to speak on his behalf.

“It’s a journey we wouldn’t have chosen to sign up for,” Kendra, of Parker, said. “It’s a tough journey.”

The Rhoades family — from left, Jacob, his father and mother Jim and Kendra, and sister Cienna — lives in Parker. Jacob is working to overcome a dependency on marijuana and has been clean since December. The family is proud of how far he’s come. “His whole attitude has changed,” his mother said.

Coping mechanism As her son’s dependency on marijuana grew, Kendra said, convincing him of its dangers was a long, difficult process while he relied on information from the internet and the drug’s legalization to rationalize his use of it.

Marijuana is never safe for an adolescent brain as it’s still developing, say local experts in the mental health and substance use fields, and like with any number of substances, it can become an addiction.

But, they say, it is often used as a

way to cope with stress or anxiety, among other mental health conditions, and often in social settings among youths.

Mental health and substance abuse conditions frequently coincide, and one can sometimes spark or fuel the other, said Amy Wachholtz, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Colorado-Denver and a licensed clinical health psychologist.

About half of people with a mental illness — depression and anxiety being two of the most common —

DID YOU KNOW? In 2016, 65.3 million Americans ages 12 and older reported binge drinking in the past month and 16.3 million reported heavy alcohol use.

Approximately 1 in 5 underage individuals were current alcohol users.

That same year, 28.6 million people 12 and older reported using an illicit drug in the past 30 days. Regardless of age, illicit drug use was driven by marijuana and prescription pain relievers.

The number of people 12 and older in 2016 who were current marijuana users was higher than percentages between 2002 and 2015, although marijuana use among adolescents was lower in 2016 than in most years from 2009 to 2014.

In Douglas County, data on how many people are seeking treatment for mental health conditions, substance abuse disorders, or both, is largely unclear because there is no comprehensive tracking system. People seek treatment through private care, Medicaid, in-state and out-of-state rehabilitation facilities.

Dan Makelky, director of Douglas County Department of Human Services, said his department gets a glimpse of the issue’s scope at the local level through the number of child welfare cases they oversee with links to mental health or substance abuse.

“Oftentimes, that is something that we find as an underlying factor,” Makelky said.

to mental health, substance abuse or both.

Other risk factors such as genetics, stress or trauma, also can lead to a person developing a substance abuse problem or mental health illness, rather than one leading to the other, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

‘It just kind of numbed me’ For Schamberger, the path to addiction started with emotional trauma.

On a day in June, he sat at his kitchen table, thinking back through the years. He grew contemplative, took a deep breath, a sip of water. He stared into space, searching for the right words. The story is still difficult to tell.

He grew up in Colorado Springs with his mother, two older brothers, sister and a stepfather, who he said was cruel and demeaning.

“He really kind of wrecked me from a mental standpoint,” Schamberger said.

He never knew his biological father.

When he was 11, his older sister died

Lt. Lori Bronner with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office agreed.

“Unfortunately, our youths are using substances,” said Bronner, commander for the agency’s School Resource Officer program who also runs the Y.E.S.S. program, which conducts substance awareness in schools. “We have some cases as broad as LSD and marijuana and putting THC oil in their e-cigarettes and vapes.”

in a car accident as the passenger of a driver who was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. By 13, his mother had divorced and remarried “a good man” who Schamberger looked to as a father figure, but who died unexpectedly of cardiac arrest.

In grieving their deaths, Schamberger found himself isolated.

“My mom for the most part, she pretty much checked out,” he said.

“And I don’t fault her at all because she had just lost her only daughter, and so she was struggling just to make it.”

The whirlwind of tragedy left Schamberger in emotional pain. Then he found his brother’s stash of beer in the garage and drank a 16-ounce can of Schlitz.

That first time, he became so sick he couldn’t do his paper route. But he also discovered a way to self-medicate.

“It just kind of numbed me,” he said. “I began finding that I could get away from the pain when I used it.”

‘They told me if I had a house and a car I could afford it’ Families struggle to afford high cost of rehab programs, which can run from $20,000 to $60,000

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Chrysta Reese’s daughter revealed she was struggling with a heroin addiction, Reese immediately sought help.

“The first time she called me and was really sick, I thought she was dying. I was calling rehabs in the area,” said Reese, who lives in Castle Rock. “I was told it was $30,000 for the first month.”

She described the process of researching rehab programs as horrific.

“They told me if I had a car and a house I could afford it,” she said.

Kendra Rhoades, of Parker, recounted a similar experience researching programs for her son, who at 14 was showing signs he’d become addicted to marijuana.

“I researched every type of treatment facility,” she said. “I couldn’t get approved for a $30,000 or $40,000 loan to put him in rehab. It was just horrendously expensive.”

For Douglas County families — where the median annual income is more than $109,000 and more than 97 percent of adults have health care coverage — the cost of drug or alcohol rehab can still make treatment unattainable.

Forensic psychologist Jennifer Tippett is director of the University of Denver’s Graduate School for Professional Psychology’s specialty substance use disorder program.

Unfortunately, she said, experiences like Reese’s and Rhoades’ are not uncommon. Tippett once worked

for a rehab facility in California that charged $60,000 a month.

Rates that high typically mean a family’s access to treatment is case by case and based on personal resources, she said.

“It really is self-funded,” Tippett said. “Some insurance companies will cover a portion.”

The inaccessibility to treatment is at direct odds with the number of people who need it, according to national surveys and research.

Tippett Nearly half of Americans have a family member or close friend who has been addicted to drugs, a 2017 Pew Research survey found.

In 2016, an estimated 21 million people ages 12 or older needed substance-abuse treatment, according to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Of that number, only 3.8 million people received any form of substance-use treatment and 2.2 million received care at a specialty facility.

Specialty facilities include inpatient hospital care, inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation center programs or mental health centers.

Residential treatment programs throughout the country can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000, said Dianna Sandoval, executive clinical director of Sandstone Care, a private rehab facility operating in Denver, Boulder and the Washington, D.C., area. The length of those programs varies from 30 to 60 days, or Sandoval longer. The cost of Sandstone’s program ranges widely depending on the client and their insurance, Sandoval said.

Throughout middle school, he and friends “easily obtained alcohol” through contacts at liquor or convenience stores. In high school, the partying exploded. He and his friends would steal liquor from delivery trucks under the guise it was for a party. But for Schamberger addiction had set in, and the parties were about drinking.

“I had to have it,” he said.

‘Addiction is a family disease’ Drug use and addiction can begin at any age, but it typically begins in adolescence, which is also when the first signs of mental illness commonly appear, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

“If I was to picture someone who’s a drug addict, in your mind, most people picture the homeless person on the street who’s been drinking for 30 years,” Ballinger said. “I picture the 13-year-old who’s started to drink at 13 because there are problems at home, or things aren’t going well for them.”

Countless reasons can lead teens to try substances, he said, naming conflicts with parents and struggling in school as two examples.

When mental health and substance abuse go untreated, addiction can form and life-long behavioral problems arise.

“The majority of addiction is set in,” Ballinger said, “before the age of 21.”

Looking back, Schamberger believes that was true for him: Addiction had formed by his teen years; he also was struggling with depression.

After high school, his alcoholism progressed to new levels.

He studied computer science, ultimately earning a master’s degree, and landed a job in downtown Denver working as a project manager. Three blocks from his office was a liquor store where he’d stop in mornings before work.

“I was on a first-name basis with the owners,” Schamberger said.

He’d drink any time of day — in the mornings and at lunch. After work, he’d finish six to eight beers a night. In the later years, he drank more and more hard liquor.

“I was fortunate to be a pretty good working alcoholic,” he said.

‘They can recover. They can get better.

They can have a better life. Hope is really that foundation.’

Lisa Fiola, program manager, Mental Health Center of Denver

“But I was tanking pretty quick at the latter half of my 30s.”

His wife, Karin, didn’t understand the extent of his addiction at first.

“Looking back, I believe I was in denial,” she said, explaining they did argue on occasion about his drinking but she didn’t know where to draw the line. “I didn’t know what was normal drinking — I grew up in a family that didn’t drink.”

They married when she was 22 and he was 26. She found it odd he’d insist on planning events around alcohol, and she began to notice his reliance on drinking.

But for a time, he could manage it, she said, until eventually, “it was starting to manage him.”

By the time Schamberger turned 40, Karin and their two sons were witnessing the drinking and the Jekyll-and-Hyde change in his personality: When Schamberger got drunk, he became unpredictable, until eventually he was simply mean, he said.

“Addiction is a family disease. It affects everybody in the family,” Karin said. “Everybody gets kind of sick.”

Schamberger believes he was on a path to death: If he didn’t eventually drink himself to death, he suspected one day the alcohol would no longer mask his feelings, and he’d die by suicide.

Coalition focuses on preventing substance abuse among county’s youth

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition — which works to prevent substance use among young people — reports to the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative, a partnership of about 30 agencies working to identify gaps in the county’s mental health resources and create programs to address those needs.

Formed in 2016, the coalition primarily focuses on underage drinking and marijuana use among people ages 12 to 20, and prescription drug misuse and abuse among people ages 12 to 25.

Multiple agencies come together to assess data, determine where problems exist and why. They also implement plans to address those problems.

“The work of the Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Initiative is very important within the context of the mission and goals of the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative,” said Anne Mosbach, the Mental Health Initiative’s coordinator.

“Their focus on prevention and early intervention is key to supporting our youth as they navigate the challenges of peer pressure, substance use in home or schools and understanding the larger impact youth substance abuse has on the individual, the family and the community.”

Many of the same agencies in the Mental Health Initiative, which represent varied sectors of the community

from government to law enforcement and healthcare, also serve on the coalition. They include South Metro Fire Rescue, the Douglas County School District, Douglas County Libraries, Littleton Adventist Hospital, Tri-County Health Department — the coalition’s current fiscal agent and lead — and other agencies with a stake in youth health and wellness.

But the coalition also has more representation from parents and youth.

Zac Hess, DCSD’s director of health, wellness and prevention, says the district’s partnership with the coalition is an integral part of supporting students’ behavioral health.

“We all have the same incredibly important goal — healthy, happy and safe youth and families,” Hess said.

Participation with the coalition has allowed DCSD to establish other “crucial relationships” with members, he said. “By engaging with multiple stakeholders in our community, we are making real-world positive impacts for youth and families.”

In general, coalitions such as this one, Hess said, have proven to be one of the best strategies to prevent youth substance use and support their mental health.

A key component of the coalition, said coalition coordinator Steve MartiMartinez nez, is the Douglas County Youth Leadership Board, which

To help deter teenage drinking, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has partnered with the Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition to conduct “party patrols” and rally the community in promoting healthy behavior.

Party patrols are carried out during peak party seasons such as prom, graduation and school vacations. The sheriff ’s office asks the community to report parties where drinking and substance use among underage teens may be occurring.

Providing minors with alcohol comes with consequences: • In Colorado, it is legal for parents to allow comprises high school students from across the school district who work in schools to raise awareness and education on substance use. Students ages 13 to 18 can apply to be on the leadership board through a form available on the coalition’s website.

The coalition’s strong relationships with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, DCSD and other agencies have helped create a strategic plan and identified evidence-based strategies it began implementing last December, said Martinez, a substance abuse prevention coordinator with Tri-County Health. The coalition uses the Strategic Prevention Framework public health

DID YOU KNOW? Nearly 9 of 10 students in the Douglas County School District think adults believe it is wrong for kids to use marijuana, but roughly 3 in 4 students also believe a typical student used marijuana in the past 30 days.

Alcohol, available in many households, is a highly-attainable substance for youth, she said. Officers see some students who binge drink socially and others “that are using alcohol to selfmedicate.”

And, Bronner said, marijuana being legal in Colorado “also makes it easier for them to get.”

The sheriff ’s office made 305 arrests in 2017 for drug and narcotic violations. Of those, 134 were juveniles.

Although the legal age to obtain marijuana and alcohol is 21, youth can gain access to substances like marijuana through school, older friends and “in a lot of cases, from home,” Martinez said.

Data from the 2017 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, a biennial voluntary survey conducted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment that evaluates youth health and their health-related choices, shows the rate of usage of marijuana among the county’s students is generally lower than the state average.

Of 2,731 Douglas County youths surveyed, 27 percent — or about 1 in 4 — said they had used marijuana at least once in their lifetime, compared to 35.2 percent statewide.

Just over 13 percent of Douglas County youths — or about 1 in 8 — had used marijuana at least once in

Some 13.5 percent of students reported having used marijuana at least once in the past 30 days, and 27 percent reported trying it at least once in their lifetime.

the past 30 days. Statewide, that number was 19.4 percent. But of those students, 30 percent — about 1 in 3 — said they vaporized marijuana, compared to 20.3 percent statewide.

Vaporizing means inhaling vaporized substances through electronic smoking devices.

Any rate of substance use is cause for concern, Martinez and other health professionals emphasized — using drugs can lead to deeper depression or anxiety, particularly if an addiction is formed.

“Teens decide to experiment, and they end up liking alcohol, pot, cigarettes, vapes,” Martinez said, “and

‘Psychologically addictive’ For Jacob, an avid basketball player, the turning point came in eighth grade, when he didn’t make the team at Cimarron Middle School, Kendra said.

“Unknown to us, the kids he had played basketball with his whole life kind of started shunning him,” she said. “So he turned to a different community of people who introduced him to drugs.”

He was 13 or 14 when he began smoking marijuana, she said.

Jacob’s dependency grew to the point he didn’t care what consequences he faced for using the drug. He withdrew from family, he snuck out of the home to smoke, he stole from them, Kendra said.

“I was afraid of him, kind of,” Cienna said of her relationship with Jacob once she learned through her parents he’d started using drugs. “I just felt uncomfortable.”

Jacob went from being engaged with his family to being depressed, Kendra said.

“I think that the depression came from a combination of being rejected from his peer group and from marijuana,” she said. “I do think that contributed to it.”

Not all addictions or mental health conditions emerge in adolescence — that can happen at any age, reports the National Institute on Drug Abuse — but both often begin in that phase of life.

“If a teen is using marijuana already and the parent is having a hard time getting the teen to stop,” Martinez said, “that could already be showing signs of addiction and dependency.”

Ananda Wick, a clinical and substance abuse therapist with Porter Adventist Hospital, also emphasized that marijuana use can progress into an addiction.

“The problem with marijuana is that it is very insidious,” she said. “It’s kind of a gentle drug in the sense that there’s no intense withdrawals from it.”

Consequences of marijuana abuse worsen gradually, she said, and tend to include isolation and lack of motivation.

“It is a tough addiction to treat,” she said. “And even though it doesn’t have some of the physically addictive components that some of the other drugs have it is still incredibly psychologically addictive.”

Trying `anything and everything’ The Rhoades family learned of Jacob’s marijuana use in November 2014 and by April 2015, Jacob had been expelled from his middle school for possession of marijuana. He entered counseling and for a time thrived, Kendra said.

In January 2016, he started at Legend High School, but within a month was expelled for violating a deferment.

Deferment is similar to probation, where a student can begin school again if he or she exhibits good behavior.

“Through the summer we again tried anything and everything to try and get him to stop and then we changed schools, hoping that would change his behavior,” Kendra said.

He began school at Chaparral High School, but after two weeks was expelled for refusing

“I think what families need to do is first of all vet out a program that looks like it’s going to meet the needs of the family,” she said.

“The very next thing they do is have a conversation with the financial director about what exactly are the out-of-pocket costs.”

Some programs provide families a bill they can take to insurance providers for reimbursement. Others are covered when they’re in a provider’s network, and still others can bill for an out-of-network rate.

Families should be cautious if a program won’t provide an estimate for out-of-pocket costs, Sandoval said.

LOOK FOR WARNING SIGNS Being able to recognize signs of substance abuse can help determine when a problem may be arising, according to the U.S. government’s website for youth programming, youth.gov.

The site cautions some adolescent behaviors can be indicative of substance abuse or be normal for this phase of life, but warning signs include the following: • Mood changes such as temper flareups, irritability and defensiveness.

• Academic problems, including poor attendance, low grades and disciplinary problems.

• A change in friends or reluctance to let family get to know new friends.

• Lack of involvement in former interests, and low energy.

• Finding substances in a youth’s possession.

• Physical or mental changes, such as

memory lapse, poor concentration, lack of coordination and slurred speech.

The Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition says if parents notice warning signs, immediately make clear to children that drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence of drugs, is dangerous.

“Attempt to get agreement that no matter what, your student won’t get behind the wheel if he or she has been using drugs or alcohol,” the coalition says on its website. “Same goes for getting in a car where the driver has been using substances.”

Next, begin a serious but positive conversation with a child displaying warning signs. Tips for talking with teens about substance use are available at dougcoprevention.org.

to let school officials search his backpack.

District spokeswoman Paula Hans said the district cannot comment on specific cases. But the school board does have a policy allowing school officials to conduct searches of students’ personal property “when there is reasonable suspicion to believe the student is possessing illegal materials.”

Students can decline the search, but disciplinary action could still be taken if they do.

“The obvious focus is helping the student,” Hans said.

But no consequence could deter Jacob from smoking pot, Kendra said.

“His rationale was anywhere from `There’s nothing on the internet that indicates that it’s bad for you,’ to “It’s legal now in Colorado,’ ” she said. “I can tell you in his heart of hearts, he truly, truly

what your program can deliver,” she said.

Private care remains the most viable option for people needing rehab, Tippett said. Courtordered treatment exists, she added, but can be lower in quality or under-funded.

Rhoades, after consulting with the Douglas County School District, learned of an outpatient program through The Cornerstone Program, a private facility in Centennial. The program cost approximately $10,000, she said, and was covered through government assistance. Her son, now 17, has been clean since December.

As she considered the cost of nearby programs, Reese said she also weighed the reality her daughter might not successfully complete treatment. Reese found a 60-day, inpatient program in Tennessee in 2011 that cost $5,000

the first month, which the family could “semi-afford,” she said. She also felt the distance would separate her daughter from people influencing her drug use.

Her daughter entered the program and for a time stayed sober, Reese said, but left early and tried to handle her addiction without professional help.

“It takes multiple rehabs before it sticks,” she said. “It’s hard. It’s very expensive.”

Now 24, Reese’s daughter gave birth to her first child in May. She graduated from a rehab program in Parker and is still in an intensive outpatient program.

“She is clean and sober,” Reese said, “and will have the privilege of gaining custody and raising her daughter within a few months. I’m optimistic she will maintain sobriety this time for her baby’s sake.”

Youth’s perception of pot That view among young people is not unusual, said Dennis Ballinger, director of addiction and forensic services for AllHealth Network, a nonprofit that provides behavioral health services in Ballinger Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

“The number one way that we keep kids from doing drugs” is by addressing their perceptions of substances, said Ballinger, who believes marijuana’s legalization has contributed to how youth perceive the drug.

Medical uses exist, but research shows pot harms young minds

MARIJUANA FROM PAGE 10

Data from the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey shows more than threequarters of Douglas County youths think the typical student used marijuana during the past 30 days.

But about 56 percent thought using marijuana regularly posed a moderate or great risk of harm, and more than 63 percent believe it is wrong or very wrong for someone their age to use marijuana. That’s down from 65.6 percent in 2013.

Jennifer Tippett, a forensic psychologist with the University of Denver, said she thinks of marijuana like she does alcohol: Some individuals can use those substances without forming a problem; others can’t.

But, she said, “I think that this conversation becomes very different when you’re talking about the adolescent brain.”

Before 22 years old, the brain is still developing, Tippett said, and using substances too early can affect the portion of a person’s brain that handles decision-making, in one example.

More is being learned every day about the brain and how it reacts to substances, Wachholtz said, but genetics and life experiences alike can increase a person’s chances of forming addictions.

IS MARIJUANA ADDICTIVE?

‘If you’re using anything to escape from reality, that is a problem. It doesn’t matter if it’s legal or not.’

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, marijuana use can lead to a marijuana dependency and, in extreme cases, addiction.

About 30 percent of marijuana users are believed to have some degree of a marijuana-use disorder. This is often associated with “dependence,” NIDA says on its website, in which a person feels withdrawals when not using.

Frequent users report symptoms such as irritability, difficulty sleeping, moodiness, low appetite, cravings and physical discomfort after quitting.

Jennifer Tippett, forensic psychologist, University of Denver

If a person cannot stop using marijuana and it is interfering with his or her life, he or she may be addicted.

“Estimates of the number of people addicted to marijuana are controversial, in part because epidemiological studies of substance use often use dependence as a proxy for addiction,” NIDA says, “even though it is possible to be dependent without Marijuana use can lead to dependency and, in extreme cases, addiction. being addicted.”

Wachholtz and Tippett said it’s important to remember the legal age of consumption for alcohol and marijuana is 21.

However, Tippett said, “If you’re using anything to escape from reality, that is a problem.

Treatment is two-fold The key to treatment should be addressing mental health and substance abuse issues simultaneously, said Dianna Sandoval, executive clinical director of the private Sandstone Care rehab facility in Denver.

But some rehab programs only treat one or the other or try to address one condition at a time.

“It’s like saying to someone, you have an infection in your arm and an infection in your leg, but I only work on legs,” Sandoval said.

In recent years, the industry has seen a push to ensure clinicians have dual accreditation in mental health and substance use areas and that programs are prepared to treat both conditions.

An integrated approach, Sandoval said, “is

Ballinger agreed.

“Everybody that provides care is also a mental health clinician,” he said of AllHealth’s substance use programs. “What we’re really looking at is what is typically called co-occurring disorders.”

The path to sobriety and a healthy mental state isn’t easy, said Lisa Fiola, a program manager at Mental Health Center of Denver, a nonprofit organization that provides mental health and therapy programs to children, adults and families.

“It’s not a linear process, but if they’re patient and they keep working at it, they can get help,” she said. “They can recover. They can get better. They can have a better life. Hope is really that foundation.”

“Hands down, I will take the one in sobriety,” she said. “It’s like all the goodness of him was in there, but it is becoming more and more awakened through the healing of sobriety.”

Schamberger drank until the night before he voluntarily entered a four-day detox program at the Medical Center of Aurora in 2007. Such programs provide medical supervision for people withdrawing from alcohol. The decision came as his marriage and relationships with his children were unraveling.

Schamberger said he vaguely recalls the experience because he was sedated on medications. Leaving detox, he didn’t feel different, or that he was on the road to recovery. In fact, he said, he felt like he needed a drink.

ADDICTION FROM PAGE 11

His first day returning to work out of detox, Schamberger left the office — and without thinking — slipped back into his years-long routine by walking to the nearby liquor store.

When he reached for the store’s door, it didn’t open.

Schamberger peered inside and saw only empty shelves. In the time he had been in detox, the liquor store had closed for business.

He took it as a sign from God. “I’m a firm believer,” he said, “and I believe that God stepped in for me on this.”

Schamberger entered and successfully managed a 12-month outpatient program through Valley Hope of Denver, a nonprofit offering outpatient services in Centennial. He began about one week after detox and received mental health counseling once a week. His substance abuse counseling lasted for three hours, four nights a week.

The first four years after entering treatment were the most grueling.

“I felt like a third-degree burn victim,” he said.

Confronting the grief of his early years, acknowledging the hurt he had caused his wife and children, was painful — and he

could no longer use alcohol to hide from his feelings.

During those early years of sobriety, he consistently attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Being near “other admitted broken people, not feeling like you are lower than someone else,” was crucial in the beginning, he said.

After his outpatient program, he also saw a psychologist and took medication for a year to treat depression. As his recovery progressed, Schamberger felt he needed to surround himself with people who were not addicts, and he stepped away from AA. “I appreciate so, so much his sobriety,” Karin said. “I try not to forget that every day he makes a choice to be sober and that it really takes amazing strength to maintain it. Gone is the chaos of living with an active alcoholic, the living on pins and needles.”

On Aug. 14, the couple celebrated 25 years of marriage.

Being alive, Schamberger said, being in his children’s lives and becoming a better husband has brought him happiness.

“I am so very thankful to my wife. I really didn’t deserve her in the first place, and most certainly didn’t deserve her during my substance abuse,” he said. “I can only say thank you to her through my battles with not giving up. I am honored to have her, and hope I can give her a better next 25 years.”

She found several families who graciously shared their stories with her so that others could understand the realities, challenges and emotional endurance of their difficult journeys — and the hope that comes with treament.

“People recovering from addiction and those coping with mental illness fight hard to attain sobriety, to reach a healthy place and to better their lives,” Gibbs said. “It is often a life-long battle. Seeing their resiliency in the course of reporting this story is something I will always carry with me.”

Originally from the small Nebraska town of DeWitt, Gibbs joined Colorado Community Media in August 2016.

Are you maintaining your sense of purpose?

ccording to the Colorado Census, in the year 2030 (just 12 years from now), 1 in 4 residents in Douglas County will be over the age of 65. Most of those folks will be in their golden years, their after retirement season. Many are vibrant, smart and skillful and still have the desire to contribute to society or local community.

Others can become closed off, isolated and less engaged as they may live alone and may have not connected with resources in the community. There are no senior “guidance counselors” when we retire. Exploring the next chapter of life can include an inward journey of exploring what is your sense of purpose.

There are many studies that look at this including a Journal of the American Medical Association psychiatry study showing that older adults with a higher sense of purpose tend to have a stronger hand grip and walking speed, which is a key indicator of the aging process. The study also showed that the

more physically active and socially engaged an older adult stays (or becomes) they will be less susceptible to develop mild cognitive impairment, strokes, heart attacks, disabilities and even Alzheimer’s. Not only that, but the study subjects also slept LIVING AND better and followed a AGING WELL more healthy lifestyle overall.

Now the question is — how do we explore our own sense of purpose so that we may be better prepared for our next chapter?

Active seniors know how to keep the good times rolling Juliana Young with activities for the body, mind and spirit. No one type is more important than another. A full, vibrant, and independent life demands all three. Whether you are a healthy adult or in need of a little physical,

mental or emotional “tune-up,” there are plenty of fun activities to suit your needs that can get you started on the road to rediscovering your sense of purpose. This does not happen overnight. It will take some trial and error.

Have fun along the way to discovering some gifts and talents that have resurfaced and new skills that will challenge your mind and ignite your spirit!

Look at the many activities that are available to you in your community: Helping a neighbor with their garden or volunteering at the animal shelter, learning a new language or playing a trivia game with others on the subject of history. Playing music from the days of growing up and then having a conversation with others about what you may remember about your childhood, teen years or college years is another activity.

Going to local art museums or cultural events in your town can be socially stimulating but also educational. Starting a small prayer group or Bible study can

I want to win, she wants to win, they want to win, we all want to win, and the majority of us want to win together in an environment filled with love, forgiveness, hope, encouragement, kindness, positivity, charity, and through our similarities, not our differences.

How about you? Are you focused on how we are different or how we are more alike than we thought or that society gives us credit for? As always I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can leverage our similarities instead of our differences, it really will be a better than good week, a better than good week for all of us.

Most of us live with hope, core beliefs, a positive outlook or optimism, a forgiving heart, and a heart and mind centered on justice, kindness, and walking humbly with our God. Listen, I know we have differences and diversity, and we should of course pay attention to those, but not as a means of separating us, but as a way to bring us together. If we point out the differences and the need for diversity training, in essence we are creating the chasm, that of which we are trying to teach and come up with a solution to.

We really are more alike than we are different. I would love to see a company hire a consultant who can come in and help them harness the power of the diversity and differences through

More homes present ‘bigger target for hailstorms’ LETTERS

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hailstorms inflict billions of dollars in damage yearly in North America alone, and the cost will rise as the growing population builds more homes, offices and factories, climate and weather experts said.

The role of climate change in hailstorms is harder to assess, the experts said Aug. 14 at a conference at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.

Climate change will likely make large hailstorms worse, but population growth is more of a certainty, said Andreas Prein, a climate modeling scientist at the atmospheric research center.

“We know pretty certain that we will have more people in the future, and they will have more stuff, and this stuff can be damaged,” Prein said. “I think this component is more certain than what we can say about climate change at the moment.”

This year is expected to be the 11th in a row in which the damage from severe storms exceeds $10 billion in the United States, and 70 percent of that cost comes from hail, said Ian Giammanco, a research meteorologist for the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety.

“It’s such a huge driver of the dollar loss each year,” he said.

Costs are rising in the U.S. because homes are getting bigger, from about 1,700 square feet in the early 1980s to 2,500 square feet in 2015, he said.

New subdivisions also pack homes in more tightly, Giammanco said.

“So it’s a bigger target for hailstorms to hit,” he said.

The effects of climate change on hail and the resulting damage are harder to calculate because hailstorms require distinct ingredients, and global warming affects them in different ways, Prein said.

To form, hailstorms require moisture, an updraft, variable winds and freezing temperatures at lower levels of the storm cloud, he said.

Updrafts lift water droplets into the clouds, where they attract other droplets and freeze together, scientists say. Winds of varying speed and direction keep the droplets suspended in the cloud long enough to grow into hailstones. When they eventually fall, freezing temperatures in the cloud keep them from melting before they hit warmer air closer to the ground.

Climate change will likely increase updrafts, helping hailstones form, Prein said.

But it will inhibit two hail-producing conditions, he said. Warmer temperatures will expand higher into the atmosphere, so falling hailB:4.73” stones have more time to melt before hitting the ground. And differences T:4.73” in wind speed and direction will S:4.73”

subside, he said.

Climate change will make the atmosphere more moist, but the effect that will have on hailstones isn’t clear, he said.

Kristen Rasmussen, an assistant professor at Colorado State University, said the combined effects of climate change will probably inhibit the number of weaker storms but increase the number of severe ones.

“So we actually think that’s why we’re seeing a decrease in the number of weak to moderate storms and an increase in the most severe storms,’’ she said. “If those storms are able to break through this inhibition, they ... have the potential to be more severe, and they can tap into more energy when they do so.”

The researchers said they need more data to understand the relationship between climate change and hailstorms.

Improved science could also help predict hailstorms and calculate risks better, they said.

The Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the Andes in South America and the Himalayas all have conditions that make them hotspots for hail, Rasmussen said.

A May 2017 hailstorm in the Denver area caused $2.3 billion in insurance losses. Earlier this month, hail injured 14 people in Colorado Springs and killed at least five animals at the city zoo. Damage estimates were still being compiled.

School board: Oh, I’ll be here every year to collect forever, but until they graduate, both of your children’s teachers will receive pay increases and won’t likely leave d a the county for higher salaries.

Teal called candidates who didn’t support the at-large referendum hypocritical.

“If a candidate did not support the amendment process in going to an atlarge mayor, first of all, why run?” Teal said. “But more specifically, it was a 2-1 victory, so if somebody was on the other side arguing against it, they’re already out of touch, they’re already out of step with two-thirds of the voting public in Castle Rock.”

Reed said he sees it as a non-issue.

Fletcher and Gray were ready to take questions about their stance on the atlarge movement.

“When it was first coming up, I was against it, and not so much because it was a bad idea,” Gray said. “It was more the concept of how it was designed and how it was put forward that I was confused about more than I was against.”

The at-large petition received criticism ahead of the election, largely because it did not include a plan to help

the town transition from one system to the next.

Gray also said he believes people are allowed to change their minds.

“I don’t think it makes me a hypocrite,” he said.

Fletcher said that transition plan, or lack thereof, was his “biggest concern” with the referendum and that “it wasn’t something that was desperately needed.”

But when election time came around, Fletcher voted in favor of the referendum, he said.

“Even though,” he said, “I had concerns with the referendum and the structure and how it was going to be implemented.”

Wayne Harlos, also one of the five petitioners, said the issue does raise questions about a candidate’s intentions.

“For somebody to take a position against something and then take advantage of it right after it passes, I find that disingenuous,” Harlos said, clarifying he’d still want to learn why a candidate opposed the at-large referendum before deciding whether to support them.

“It’s an initial red flag,” Harlos said.

“It wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me.”

The suspect in the death of a deputy district attorney in the south metro area 19 years ago has died before a preliminary hearing could be held, and the case is now closed, a news release from the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office said Aug. 21.

Investigators arrested Robert Williams as a suspect in the death of the 18th Judicial District official on Aug. 29, 2017. He had a chronic illness at the time of his arrest, the release said.

Williams, 71, was receiving end-of-life care in the week before he died on Aug. 18, the release said.

Williams Rebecca Bartee was found dead at the age of 41 in her apartment in the 6500 block of South Dayton Street in Centennial on June 7, 1999.

“The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office is not seeking any other suspects and Rebecca Bartee’s homicide case has now been closed,” the release said.

A Denver-area news reporter in February 2017 contacted law enforcement after a tipster provided the reporter information, the sheriff ’s office said, and as a result, new evidence led to Williams being identified as a suspect. The man who provided the tip said Williams had problems with other women in the apartment complex, made unwelcome advances and looked in people’s win-

dows, according to a news release by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Williams also was convicted in Los Angeles of the 1983 murder of his estranged girlfriend by strangulation, the release said.

At the time of his arrest, Williams was living in the same apartment building where Bartee was killed. He lived there at the time of the murder, said Julie Brooks, spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office, and to her knowledge, he had not moved since then.

After Williams’ arrest, authorities booked him into the Arapahoe County jail on a charge of first-degree murder.

He was being held without bond.

Bartee was a district attorney in Hays, Kansas, before moving to Colorado. She pursued parents who did not pay their court-ordered child support for Arapahoe County.

On June 7, 1999, employees of the DA’s office contacted the sheriff ’s office when Bartee did not come to work. An investigator responded to her apartment, where he found her dead in her bathtub, the news release from the DA’s office said.

The ensuing investigation and coroner’s information estimated that Bartee died after arriving home from work Friday, June 4, 1999, and the death was classified as a homicide. The coroner determined the death was caused by drowning and possibly strangulation, the DA’s office release said. DNA evidence from Bartee’s bathtub was determined to match Williams, the release said.

The sheriff ’s office urges anyone with information about cold cases to contact authorities at 303-795-4711 or at coldcase@arapahoegov.com. Information about other cases can be found at arapahoegov.com/918/Cold-Case-Investigations.

Exuberant show sets tone for Arvada Center season

T

but out in the suburbs, newer venues also see strong turnout — and for 38 State Brewing Company in Littleton, that includes newcomers.

“I’ve definitely seen a whole lot of out-of-towners saying, ‘I just moved here,’” said Angie Boyle, head bartender at the brewery at 8071 S. Broadway. Amid metro-area population growth, some in 38 State’s openmic crowd say they’re new to the area, checking out the scene and trying to get booked to play shows, Boyle said.

A few miles east in Lone Tree, Patrick DiBartolomeo sees performances from all ages at Lincoln Station Coffee/Pizza/Music, located just south of Interstate 25 and C-470 along the light-rail line.

“In any given week, you may see as young as 8 or 9 years old all the way up to performers in their 70s,” said DiBartolomeo, owner of the business. “We frequently see highschoolers working on their craft up to seasoned performers doing what they have been doing for decades.”

And it’s not just a fleeting hobby, as Boyle sees at 38 State.

“The Denver area has a pretty good circuit of people,” Boyle said, who network and play in venues all over the region. People even come down from Boulder to perform, she added.

he first show in a theater’s season sets the tone for the rest of the year, and by opening its 2018-19 season with “Mamma Mia!” the Arvada Center’s message is clear — this year is going to be bigger than ever.

“This show is really just the best time,” said actress Shannan Steele, who plays Donna Sheridan in the production. “Audiences are in for a party and they’re going to relish every bit of the music.”

“Mamma Mia!” runs at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Sept. 7-30. Performances are at 7:30 COMING Tuesdays ATTRACTIONS p.m. through Saturdays, matinees are at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and at 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Directed by Rod A. Lansberry, the show is based on the music of Swedish pop icons ABBA. Donna lives on a Clarke Reader Greek island with her daughter, Sophie (Mariah MacFarlane). Donna is a hotel owner, and between that and Sophie she seems to be perfectly content. But when Sophie goes in search of her father so he can be a part of her wedding, Donna’s world gets turned upside down.

“I love Donna because she’s so independent and is really a rock star in her own right,” Shannan said. “As a mother myself I understand trying to maintain that balance of independence and the love she has in her heart.

Donna really explores the vast depths that come with being a mother.”

Audiences will almost certainly recognize ABBA standards like “Dancing Queen” and “Take A Chance on Me,” and it’s the kind of show where people have to actively stop themselves from dancing. There’s not a lot of dialogue in the show, Shannan said, so not only is music the main communication tool, but it also illuminates and deepens the relationships between the characters.

“The ensemble in this show is so strong and that just adds to the overall experience,” she added. “This is the kind of show where the audience is going to feel like a part of the show experience.”

teve Smulian, 71, plucked and sang on a small stage in Littleton for an audience that barely included more people than the bartender and the host.

But even after playing guitar for 56 years — including about 10 as a professional musician — Smulian still loves playing open-mic nights because, for him, it’s about the people, whether he’s playing for a small group or a large crowd.

“Most good musicians are welcoming,” Smulian said. “It’s art, and art is not a contest.”

That’s the sentiment that aspiring musicians, comedians or writers — or casual performers looking for an outlet — will find at open-mic nights in the Denver metro area, events that offer a place to hone skills, build networks and, above all, be yourself.

But the atmosphere at the eclectic Denver location shouldn’t fool anyone — the musicians can whip out some skilled, and intricate, routines.

‘Santa Fe Secret’ is intriguing mystery Author is new Coloradan after living in iconic New Mexico city

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Marilyn Brown Oden’s new mystery, “Santa Fe Secret,” appeared on my desk, I was immediately drawn in by the cover photo of that New Mexico City’s famous sunlit ancient plaza — an all-time favorite place to visit.

And quite immediately, Oden’s narrator, Bishop Lynn Peterson — on renewal leave in Santa Fe with her history professor husband, Galen — is calmly enjoying a coffee on a plaza balcony and witnesses an evil act committed by the “Plaza Poisoner”!

The reader is off on a convoluted path to discover who did it — and

why? And soon, another murder is discovered — an FBI agent. Are they related? How? Multiple cleverly-woven parallel stories evolve, including an assortment of distinctive characters in Santa Fe, nearby Los Alamos, the nation’s capital … The seemingly local crime soon has national implications. Fortunately, recently retired, extremely resourceful FBI agent Dan Dickerson lives nearby and, with Bishop Lynn, deftly follows trails related to more than a murder.

Official press releases to the media called the death of mild-mannered Los Alamos employee Carlos Martinez “a heart attack,” although the coroner has told local agents that the man was poisoned … Something is amiss!

It seems that a Los Alamos scientist has developed a highly secret deadly toxin with the power to kill millions if unleashed on the world. Possible motives regarding its use emerge as the

complex tale is spun. The formula has been stolen.

This is apparently not the first time author Oden has introduced some of these characters. Some appeared in a previous book. But their actions here work on their own, with one possible exception.

Oden, who recently moved with her husband from Santa Fe to Wind Crest Retirement Community in Highlands Ranch, has previously written nine books, including “Crested Butte: A Novel,” followed by “The Dead Saint,” set in New Orleans and described as international intrigue — we have not seen those two, but will probably want to backtrack!

Rivalries between security agencies — and individual agents — surface here, reflecting stories of real rivalries in our daily media accounts of national and world intrigue.

‘Do your thing’ On any night, an open-mic event is likely happening somewhere in the metro area, with the middle of the week — Tuesday through Thursday — especially rife with options, according to internet listings.

Across many venues, the audiences and performers alike offer a

supportive environment, staff say.

“Everybody just sits and listens to the music,” said Tim Ferry, manager at The Toad Tavern near the Littleton-Englewood border.

He emphasized the lack of judgment, adding, “Go up there and do your thing.”

After artists perform, they make good audience members, which helps them support each other and the venues themselves, DiBartolomeo said.

“We have seen many new relationships and musical collaborations

SOME OPEN-MIC LOCATIONS Many open-mic nights are hosted in bars, breweries, restaurants and cafes, and many are held biweekly or once a month. Please contact venues or check websites for times and more information. Several other locations hold openmics as well — this list is not all-encompassing.

formed as the musicians get to know one another,” DiBartolomeo said. Arriving early to meet people and get the “lay of the land” is a good way to ease in for first-timers, he said.

Some venues feature booked music performances, too, and for Ferry, open mic is an opportunity for artists to show their skills and potentially get invited to play a scheduled show. Boyle echoed that.

“We’ve pulled a couple good bands straight from open mic” for livemusic shows, Boyle said.

Comedy and poetry, too Open mics aren’t just for music — many venues welcome comedy and poetry, too. Mercury Café has its own open-poetry night on Fridays.

Ben Duncan, a 25-year-old from Indiana, performs at local comedy open-mic nights. But, he said, sometimes it’s useful to come to a music-heavy open mic because their audiences likely haven’t heard the jokes before.

He encouraged first-time comedians to give open mics a try.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Stones Throw Party at Summit Music Hall Mention Stones Throw Records to appreciators of independent hiphop, electronic and soul music, and you’re bound to see their eyes light up.

Founded by Chris Manak (known as Peanut Butter Wolf) in 1996, the label has released monumental records like Madlib and MF DOOM’s “Madvillainy” and J Dilla’s “Donuts” and introduced the world to artists like Mayer Hawthorne and NxWorries.

Three members of the label’s impressive roster — Dam Funk, J. Rocc and Hawthorne — will be performing at the Stones Throw Party at Summit Music Hall, 1902 Blake St., at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8.

J. Rocc is the founder of the influential World Famous Beat Junkies DJ crew, and has released numerous mixtapes in addition to production for Stones Throw releases. Damon “DamFunk” Riddick is a passionate advocate for funk as a vital genre of music.

And Hawthorne will cap the evening off with a DJ set.

The Late Late Weekend with Craig Ferguson I really miss having Craig Ferguson on my television on the regular.

During his time on CBS’ “The Late Late Show” he was a funny, at times melancholic voice in an industry too often overflowing with gimmicks and nothing to say.

In addition to being a host, director and novelist, Ferguson has a long history as a stand-up comedian. And he’ll be embracing that role when he spends four nights at the Comedy

“You’re going to know right away whether (comedy) is something you want to do,” said Duncan, who moved to Denver recently to get more serious about pursuing comedy. And “get ready for a lot of late nights and beating yourself up in your car” if it turns out that you do, he laughed.

Stop on larger journeys For Smulian, who methodically finger-picked at 38 State brewery, stopping by open mics is a pleasure he slips in after decades of playing music.

The very next night, he played at the Mercury Café, where Thompson reflected after his own set. The more people get involved in the Denver music scene, the more it can establish its musical identity like other big cities, he said.

Thompson, who has played in a band and currently records music on his own, said the best way for beginners to approach open mics is to lay their emotions out.

“Open up yourself,” Thompson said. “And do it again and again and again.”

Works Downtown, 1226 15th St. in Denver, Sept. 7 through 10.

Ferguson’s most recent comedy album, “Here to Help,” earned him a Grammy nomination and he also launched a SiriusXM radio program called “The Craig Ferguson Show.”

Get tickets by visiting www.comedyworks.com/comedians/craigferguson.

A legend in person at Sloan’s Lake Fantasy as a film genre was at an interesting point in the 1980s. Visual effects were coming along, though most of the time they look remarkably cheesy to contemporary eyes, and they focused too much on the traditional hero rescues the damsel in distress trope.

Still, there’s something to be said for rewatching childhood favorites, especially with one of the stars.

The Sloan’s Lake Alamo Drafthouse, 4255 W. Colfax Ave. in Denver, is hosting a screening of Ridley Scott’s cult favorite, “Legend,” featuring a poetry session with co-lead Mia Sara before the movie.

Sara will be reading her poetry at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14, followed by the film at 9:30.

“Legend” was one of the first of many movies featuring Tom Cruise as the lead. Cruise plays Jack, a young man who finds himself in a battle against the Lord of Darkness to save daylight and steal Sara’s Lili.

Sara will be reading as part of Alamo’s poetry reading series, Ham On Rye. And maybe she’ll even take some questions on “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” Go to www.drafthouse.com/denver/ for tickets.

Shanahan awarded ‘Fire in the Gut’ honor Mike Shanahan was honored with the prestigious award at event

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To the tune of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” five retired Navy SEALs parachuted down to Centennial Airport to kick off the 2018 Navy SEAL Foundation’s Denver Evening of Tribute.

The banquet, held Aug. 16, raised more than $800,000 in support of the Naval Special Warfare Community and its families, according to a news release.

Former Denver Broncos’ coach Mike Shanahan was awarded the “Navy Seal Foundation’s Fire in the Gut Award,” an honor given to a person or organization displaying the “all-in” quality of serving military families.

The award was presented by Nan and Eric Korts, parents of Special Operator, Third Class (SEAL) Jason Dunbar Korts, who was killed in a training accident. Jason Korts was from Highlands Ranch and died in 2015 in a training accident in Southwest Riverside County in California.

“So when I talk to you tonight, I talk to you from a background of football, but I guarantee you the success that I’ve experienced is because of the standards the people in this room have

“So for me, accepting this great honor tonight and being asked to speak to a group like this, to a team like this and to the people that are here tonight — thank you,” Shanahan continued. “To the people that support the Navy SEALs, I can’t thank you enough.”

He then thanked the team of people in attendance and the people who supA Navy SEAL makes a patriotic landing during a skydiving demonstration at Centennial Airport.

Master Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Britt Slabinski, USN, (retired), also a Medal of Honor recipient, was the evening’s keynote speaker.

IN THEIR BUSINESS Hospital welcomes new CEO Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis has been named president and CEO at Craig Hospital in Englewood. She will formally begin her role Oct. 1.

Allen-Davis replaces Mike Fordyce, who served as president and CEO of Craig for 10 years and announced his retirement earlier this year. She was chosen after a six-month search and received unanimous support from the search committee.

Allen-Davis comes to Craig from Kaiser Permanente, where she was most recently the vice president of government, external relations and research. She has been with Kaiser for 24 years, serving in a number of positions from staff physician to the executive leadership role.

“Dr. Allen-Davis has the right experience and skills to lead a top rehabilitation hospital,” Bob Ladenburger, Craig Hospital board chair, said in a news release. “But above all, the value she places on patients and the quality of their care is in perfect alignment with Craig’s culture, which is what makes this hospital unique.”

Allen-Davis is charged with leading one of the top 10 rehabilitation hospitals in the country, as recently named by U.S. News & World Report.

She will work closely with Fordyce to transition into the role over the coming months before his departure in December.

“I am honored and excited to be an ambassador and advocate for the Craig family and the patients it serves,” Allen-Davis said in the release. “This is a special place — the way Craig puts patients and their families at the center of care is directly in line with how I practiced medicine. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to join this community.”

Credit Union to open Ent Credit Union is starting to built its second Parker location and

fourth site in Douglas County. The second credit union will be at 11280 S. Twenty Mile Road and is scheduled to open in early 2019.

The credit union will have representatives available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays. A drive-up interactive teller machine with extended live video teller hours also will be available.

“This new location will provide local, convenient access to personal service for the more than 1,000 Ent members who currently live within a five-mile radius,” Brian Kayton, Ent’s Denver area regional manager, said in a news release.

New day care coming soon An old building off Gilbert Street in downtown Castle Rock will soon be revitalized to serve as a 6,507-square-foot day care center, an additional 2,300 square feet of outdoor recreation space.

Davey Daycare is set to open at the end of 2018. The daycare will offer affordable child care services to families in Castle Rock and the surrounding area.

The remodel will add ADA compliant restrooms for the children and adults. Updates to the indoor rooms, kitchen, and outdoor play area will also be included in the work, which is being completed by MW Golden Constructors.

Ballet company moves Denver Ballet Theatre has moved to a larger studio at County Line and Holly in Highlands Ranch. The new space at 5690 County Line Place includes four large studios with high ceilings, with the main studio being 40 by 70 feet and with windows overlooking Highlands Ranch. An open house for the studio is from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 8. Call 303-799-6609 or go to www.denverballettheatre.org.

First responders to compete in Wildlander challenge STAFF REPORT

Firefighters and other first responders running with up to 30-pound packs will compete to see who’s the fastest as they tackle a course in Sandstone Ranch, soon to be Douglas County’s newest open space.

After a two-year break, The Wildlander 5K, 12K and responder challenge returns Sept. 22, with proceeds benefiting the Larkspur Fire Protection District and the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.

Participation is limited, and the registration deadline is Sept. 15.

“We’re excited that Douglas County is allowing us to use this property again,” event organizer Rodger Greer said in a news release, “because it is just an incredibly beautiful place to run.”

The property, now owned by Douglas County, is not yet open to the public but the county has granted a one-day permit for this event. In addition to the traditional 5K and 12K races, The Wildlander features a “responder challenge” in which teams of three or more first responders will run a 5K with packs proportional

to their body weight.

The top three times from each team will be used to determine the winner of The Jay Shafer Memorial Cup. A registration code is required to take part in the responder challenge. Email info@ wildlander.org for details.

“We hope our brother and sister responders from up and down the Front Range will take up the challenge,” Larkspur Battalion Chief Charles Walden said in the release.

Walkers are welcome on the 5K course, and there will be races for the kids as well.

Registration fee is $20 per person for the responder challenge, $35 for the 5K and $45 for the 12K. A Wildlander T-shirt is available for $5. To register, get directions or for more information, visit wildlander.org or on Facebook @wildlander.

The Wildlander is organized by and benefits the Larkspur Fire Department (www.larkspurfire. org). The Wildland Firefighter Foundation will receive a portion of each race entry. The foundation supports families of wildland firefighters, nationwide, killed or seriously injured the line of duty.

Drug Use and Health. The same survey noted that illicit drug use among 28.6 million people 12 and older was driven by marijuana and prescription pain relievers.

It might be easy to believe that reality doesn’t happen in Douglas County, which has high graduation rates, low unemployment and one of the highest median household incomes in the country.

But Terry and Jacob’s stories show us we are not immune. And data points out problems exist: Consider that between 2012 and 2014, nearly 16 percent of all adults in Douglas County and nearly 20 percent of adults with children under 18 reported binge drinking, according to a Tri-County Health Department community-needs assessment.

And consider that 90 percent of child welfare cases in Douglas County that require repeated visits and oversight from the county’s department of human services are linked to mental health, substance abuse or both, county officials say.

The county has led the way in creating and supporting mental health programs for its residents. The Douglas County Mental Health Initiative, established by the county government, has formed a partnership of more than 30 organizations representing all facets of the community to identify and fill the gaps.

One of its initiatives was the creation of the Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, a network of partners whose work reflects its name.

As a community — and as a society — we need to continue that kind of work, that builds bridges, pools best resources, listens, then develops programs that provide a supporting village.

For Terry and Jacob, help came in the form of unwavering family support, community intervention and programs that addressed their needs.

Terry is 11 years sober. Jacob has been clean since December.

Their courage and the efforts of loved ones and professionals who helped them are to be commended.

Moreover, their stories are examples of the help and hope that exist for others who haven’t yet started down the road to recovery.

Aspirin disappoints for avoiding first heart attack, stroke Not worth risk for healthy people, a study leader says

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds.

Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vesselrelated problem.

One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks in people at moderate risk for one because they had several health threats such as smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Another tested aspirin in people with diabetes, who are more likely to develop or die from heart problems, and found that the modest benefit it gave was offset by a greater risk of serious bleeding.

Aspirin did not help prevent can-

cer as had been hoped.

And fish oil supplements, also tested in the study of people with diabetes, failed to help.

“There’s been a lot of uncertainty among doctors around the world about prescribing aspirin’’ beyond those for whom it’s now recommended, said one study leader, Dr. Jane Armitage of the University of Oxford in England. “If you’re healthy, it’s probably not worth taking it.”

The research was discussed Aug. 26 at the European Society of Cardiology meeting in Munich. The aspirin studies used 100 milligrams a day, more than the 81-milligram pills commonly sold in the United States but still considered low dose. Adult strength is 325 milligrams.

Who’s really at risk?

A Boston-led study gave aspirin or dummy pills to 12,546 people who were thought to have a moderate risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke within a decade because of other health issues.

After five years, 4 percent of each group had suffered a heart problem — far fewer than expected, suggesting these people were actually at low risk, not moderate. Other medicines they were taking to lower blood pressure and cholesterol may have cut their heart risk so much that aspirin had little chance of helping more,

Fish oil results The same study also tested omega-3 fatty acids, the good oils found

in salmon, tuna and other fish.

Supplement takers fared no better than those given dummy capsules — 9 percent of each group suffered a heart problem.

“We feel very confident that there doesn’t seem to be a role for fish oil supplements for preventing heart disease,’’ said study leader Dr. Louise Bowman of the University of Oxford.

The British Heart Foundation was the study’s main sponsor.

Bayer and Mylan provided aspirin and fish oil, respectively. Results were published by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Other studies are testing different amounts and prescription versions of fish oil, “but I can’t tell people go spend your money on it; we think it’s probably better to eat fish,” said Dr. Holly Andersen, a heart disease prevention specialist at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell who was not involved in the study.

The new research doesn’t alter guidelines on aspirin or fish oil, said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Medical Center and an American Heart Association spokeswoman. They recommend fish oil only for certain heart failure patients and say it’s reasonable to consider for people who have already suffered a heart attack.

Aspirin for people with diabetes?

People with diabetes have a higher risk of heart problems and strokes from a blood clot, but also a higher risk of bleeding. Guidelines vary on which of them should consider aspirin.

Oxford researchers randomly assigned 15,480 adults with Type 1 or 2 diabetes but otherwise in good health and with no history of heart problems to take either aspirin, 1 gram of fish oil, both substances, or dummy pills every day.

After seven and a half years, there were fewer heart problems among aspirin users but more cases of serious bleeding, so they largely traded one risk for another.

said the study leader, Dr. J. Michael Gaziano of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

One percent of aspirin takers had stomach or intestinal bleeding, mostly mild — twice as many as those on dummy pills. Aspirin users also had more nosebleeds, indigestion, reflux or belly pain.

Bayer sponsored the study, and many researchers consult for the aspirin maker. Results were published by the journal Lancet.

is name seems fitting for a golfer.

Tyler Mulligan is a Chaparral senior who just sighs and smiles when asked what kinds of comments he gets when he is introduced to other golfers.

However, the three-time state-tournament qualifier hasn’t used the opportunity to replay a shot like his last name suggests.

“No, but I wish I could

sometimes,” said the soft-spoken Mulligan, who competed in several American Junior Golf Association tournaments in the summer.

“I’ve been playing golf since I was about 10 years old. I’ve improved a lot over the years. This past year has been a little struggle.

I hit the ball decently far.

Good for me these days is like mid-70s. I’ve been kind of off and on.”

Mulligan used to play both baseball and golf, but decided to concentrate on only the links.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s had six rounds at state and every round has been lower than the round before. Last year’s second round I think he shot a 73 or 72 so he’s got no place to go now except under par if he wants to keep that string going.’

Mark Stevens, Chaparral boys golf coach

Q&A with Mulligan What’s your favorite pretournament breakfast?

Usually, I just have an egg sandwich.

Who is your favorite athlete (past or present, pro or college) and why?

I really like Zach Johnson. I like the way he plays.

What would be a perfect performance for you in your sport?

It would be even par and not taking any holes over bogey. So no doubles and triples.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Math, it has just al-

ways been easy for me to get a grasp of since I was really young.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I like to hang out with friends and I’m also part of this youth group at my school called CORE. What are your plans for after high school?

I want to go to college and play golf, for sure. I’m still looking around. I’d prefer to go out-of-state, probably to the west coast would be my No. 1 choice.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

achary Gonzales, Arapahoe’s 6-foot-1, 320-pound nose guard/defensive end, likes to tease his grandpa about wearing a leather helmet when he played football.

Gonzales is the third generation of the family to play football.

Zachary’s dad, Darrell, was a 168-pound guard OVERTIME who graduated from Mullen in 1987. Dave Gonzales, Zachary’s grandfather, was a 160-pound guard for Adams City in the late 1950s and graduated from the school in what Jim Benton was then called the Town of Commerce in 1960.

“Being the third generation to play football is cool no doubt,” said Zachary, who is also a standout rugby player on the Arapahoe club team. “My grandfather is not a big sports guy like my dad.

But he fondly remembers being a guard and picking up a fumble that he scored on. Grandpa is always more rewarding when report cards come home and I show him my A’s and B’s.

“My dad has the same mantra as grandpa and he has never missed a game. He rearranges his schedule to make sure he is there for me. He prepares me a pregame meal the night before games, a game-day breakfast and gets me a nice steak for lunch, and he is big on me eating healthy.”

Darrell and Dave Gonzales both point out that football and the culture surrounding sports is different than it was, especially when the 77-year-old Dave played.

“You just went out there rolled up your sleeves, put your hands in the dirt and played,” said Darrell.

“Back then was a lot different. Going to work was more important than the game. When I played, whether you knew what the snap count was or not, you just went on movement.

“My biggest plus was that I was smart enough to see the ball move and what they now call eye discipline. I would have one eye on the ball and move based on the ball and the players’ movement.

Back then being 160 to 180 pounds was a big man. Nowadays that is SEE BENTON, P31

Darrell and Dave stress more than football and rugby to Zach.

“What Zach, I and grandpa talk about is life, what are you going to do after high school, and what are you going to do after college?” said Darrell.

“Grandpa says when you get to be my age you start looking in the rearview mirror and saying `I should have done this or should have done that.’

I tell him to have fun and just enjoy life. We say that high school is so easy and you don’t realize how easy it was until you start working and have to pay bills.”

“When I played I could not believe guys could knock me down but they did,” said Dave. “Then I saw my son play hockey and football and knew he was stronger than me. Now my grandson is big and strong like an ox and seems to be enjoying life. In my day spearing was a big thing but I was a lineman, so nothing changes on the line.

“As far as the game getting worse, it’s not the game but some of the people that interfere with sports being fun and just being a game. A simple game has turned into a business for many.

Dave has a few parting words of wisdom for the younger generation.

“Nowadays everyone is chasing something other than the moment,” he said. “The kids will realize this when they are my age.

Dog fitness tracker helps keep Fido in top shape Entrepreneur got idea after wondering why his canine companion wasn’t enjoying jogs

BY ADAM PEMBLE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When Czech entrepreneur Robert Hasek began jogging with his dog, Darwin, the three-mile runs were making the bull terrier sick with fatigue.

Hasek was surprised, thinking his dog led a healthy lifestyle. To solve the mystery, he strapped a Fitbit to Darwin and discovered he was actually only active in his presence.

Otherwise, Hasek says, “he is lying, sleeping and doing nothing. He’s lazy!”

The businessman sensed an opportunity and developed one of the world’s first dog fitness trackers. His product is part of a growing industry of gadgets for pets that includes GPS trackers, automatic feeders, ballthrowing machines for dogs to fetch and self-cleaning litter boxes for cats.

People in the U.S. will spend $72.1 billion this year on pet products and care, up 3.6 percent year-over-year in an industry that has grown steadily since the mid-1990s, according to the American Pet Products Association.

Worldwide spending in 2017 was $109 billion, according to Euromonitor International.

Hasek first sought funding on Kickstarter and then reached out to private investors. He moved to San Francisco for three months, tracked down Czech manufacturers and found a customer service subcontractor.

Two years later, production and sales of the Actijoy fitness trackers have begun, with one unit cost-

ing about $300. On top of the GPS tracking device that a variety of pet collars already offer, it tracks the intensity of the dog’s activity and comes with an internet-connected bowl that monitors food and water consumption.

It faces competition from a range of products, from the more basic fitness monitors to more advanced technologies. The Wagz, for example, is also able to record and stream HD video from the collar. It sells for $495 apiece.

That may be a lot for a collar, but some pet owners are willing to splurge. Among them are millennials who put off having kids or decided against having any and have the extra income to spend, says Harrison Forbes, a dog trainer and pet products expert.

“Pet tech has been a hugely explosive part of the industry the past five or six years,” he said while attending the Superzoo industry conference on pet products in Las Vegas. Technology for pets has tended to follow innovations that were meant for humans and this is an example of that, he says.

Actijoy’s COO, Jana Rosenfelderova, says they are marketing these collars not only to people who have overweight pets, but also to those who want to avoid health problems in the first place. Monitoring water consumption, for example, can reveal if a pet is drinking unusually large amounts, a sign of kidney problems or diabetes.

“Our (ideal) customer is a dog owner that wants to prevent,” she says.

Spacecraft will take astronauts back to the moon NASA’s Orion capsule shipped to Florida for final assembly STAFF REPORT

A spacecraft capsule that will return astronauts to the moon has been completed and shipped to Florida for final assembly into a full spacecraft, according to a news release from Lockheed Martin.

The pressure vessel for NASA’s Orion Exploration Mission-2 (EM-2) spacecraft was welded together over seven months by Lockheed Martin technicians and engineers at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans.

Orion is the world’s only exploration-class spaceship, and the EM-2 mission will be its first flight with astronauts on board, taking them farther into the solar system than ever before, the release said.

“It’s great to see the EM-2 capsule arrive just as we are completing the final assembly of the EM-1 crew module,” Mike Hawes, Lockheed Martin vice president and program manager for Orion, said in the release. “We’ve learned a lot building the previous pressure vessels and spacecraft and the EM-2 spacecraft will be the most capable, cost-effective and efficient one

At the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana, Lockheed Martin technicians have completed construction of the first Orion capsule structure that will carry humans to deep space on Exploration Mission-2.

COURTESY OF LOCKHEED MARTIN we’ve built.”

Orion’s pressure vessel is made from seven large, machined aluminum alloy pieces that are welded together to produce a strong, light-weight, air-tight capsule. It was designed specifically to withstand the harsh and demanding environment of deep space travel while keeping the crew safe and productive.

“We’re all taking extra care with

this build and assembly, knowing that this spaceship is going to take astronauts back to the moon for the first time in four decades,” Matt Wallo, senior manager of Lockheed Martin Orion Production at Michoud, said in the release. “It’s amazing to think that, one day soon, the crew will watch the sun rise over the lunar horizon through the windows of this pressure vessel.

We’re all humbled and proud to be doing our part for the future of exploration.”

The capsule was shipped over the road from New Orleans to the Kennedy Space Center, arriving Aug. 24. Now in the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building, Lockheed Martin technicians will immediately start assembly and integration on the EM-2 crew module.

Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company based in Bethesda, Maryland, with a number of Colorado locations, including offices in Denver, Littleton, Englewood and Boulder.

Lockheed Martin also recently sent the U.S. Air Force’s first GBS III space vehicle to Cape Canaveral for its expected launch in December, a Lockheed Martin news release said.

Designed and built at Lockheed Martin’s GPS III Processing Facility near Denver, the satellite was shipped Aug. 20 from Buckley Air Force Base to the Cape on a massive Air Force C-17 aircraft.

GPS III will be the most powerful and resilient GPS satellite ever put on orbit, the release said. Developed with a new design for U.S. and allied forces, it will have three times greater accuracy and up to eight times improved anti-jamming capabilities over the previous GPS II satellite design block, which makes up today’s GPS constellation.
