Crystal Valley Interchange proposal ramps up Public works director talks about long-planned project

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Castle Rock recently amped up efforts to get an interchange with Interstate 25 at Crystal Valley Parkway planned, funded and under construction. Town staff have said the need is paramount — that without the interchange the town’s southern residents and businesses will be underserved and traffic congestion at other interchanges will worsen. Here’s more information from Public Works Director Bob Goebel on what the project entails and why staff say it’s needed.

Decades in the planning The town formed a transportation master plan in the 1980s (it’s been updated more than once) around the time large areas like The Meadows, Dawson Ridge and Crystal Valley Ranch were annexed into Castle Rock, Goebel said.

The plan includes goals for all major roadways and identifies the need for a future interstate interchange near the Crystal Valley Ranch neighborhood, which is located on the southern edge of Castle Rock east of I-25. To the west of I-25 was Dawson Ridge.

“At the time, both sides of the interstate,” Goebel said, “were kind of on the same track.”

For now, the town has recognized a coalition of various stakeholders to seek out additional public and private dollars.

Development was planned in Dawson Ridge but fell through, and area remains largely untouched. Crystal Valley Ranch, however, was developed and is still inching toward full buildout. With another pending community, The Lanterns, also to the southeast of I-25. staff are preparing for thousands more residential units in Castle Rock’s southeast quadrant.

On the horizon Castle Rock is today one of the seven fastest-growing cities in America, according to 2017 U.S. Census data. As the community has expanded, Plum Creek Parkway’s interchange with I-25, the nearest interchange to the Crystal Valley Ranch neighborhood, grew overburdened with traffic and congestion.

“We have some concern that on a 10year horizon, that interchange is going to become increasingly more congested,” Goebel said. “To get ahead of that and to be forward thinking, we’re trying to find financial planning and funding that could help us get this interchange (Crystal Valley) completed.”

In past years, the town expected private development to the east and west of I-25 would generate significant funding for the Crystal Valley Interchange project — nearly 80 percent of the project cost, Goebel said. But Dawson Ridge didn’t pan out and the cost of the interchange is projected to be $94 million, if completed in the next five or so years. That number includes the

COURTESY PHOTO cost of relocating portions of the West Frontage Road. The longer the project takes to get underway, the higher the cost will be.

Whether the interchange happens with or without development on the west side of I-25 remains to be seen, but staff still say developers can’t front 80 percent of a $94 million project.

An ‘alternative choice’ The Crystal Valley Interchange would be a similar solution to one Castle Rock employed when traffic and congestion plagued the Meadows Parkway on the opposite end of town, Goebel said.

The $85 million North Meadows Extension project resulted in the Castle Rock Parkway/North Meadows Drive, opening a second entrance to The Meadows. A three-year, public/private project, the roadway eased congestion on the Meadows Parkway and shortened commute times to the north part of town.

The timing of the Crystal Valley Interchange project will depend on how quickly the town can gather funding, Goebel said, and the scope of the project.

They haven’t determined if the project will be done in one phase but estimate it will take about three years to get shovel-ready and two years to complete construction. The town also needs to acquire right-of-way land before construction could begin. That is the most immediate focus, Goebel said, so the town can make further progress toward a new interchange.

“It provides an alternative choice,” Goebel said, “for folks to get to and from the interstate.”

About me I’m from Appleton, Wisconsin, where I met my wife in high school (we started dating when we were 14 and 15 years old!). We got married and worked in places like California, Colorado, innercity Milwaukee and Seattle as part of my career as a pastor. In Washington I started a church, but after eight years, had a chance to come back to Colorado to start another. We have three kids and we like to ski, mountain bike, read and play basketball. In general, we just like to stay active.

Getting started in Castle Rock We came to Castle Rock in 2010, but we didn’t have a worship service until 2011. That probably seems pretty strange, but it takes time to get to know

any community. It’s normal to spend about a year getting to know people around the community, talking to them, talking to local pastors, teachers, town council members, etc. At the same time, you are working at building up a core of people who will be the Christian community for your first service.

Moving ahead We meet in Castle Rock Middle School right now (what a great staff!), but you are always looking for the right property for your long-term future. After years of looking and after setting up and taking down a mobile church almost 300 times, we were able to purchase the Steele Tires Building on Phelps Street by the Castle Rock library. In a word it was hideous. I mean seriously hideous with mustard yellow metal siding from the ‘70s. But of all people, Christians understand that God can transform something hideous and make it beautiful. He has done just that, and a former tire shop has been rebuilt from the frame up.

There have certainly been some delays since we started this summer, but we expect to be done in November with our first worship service Sunday, Dec. 2. When people ask, I say we are a place where we have God’s word for your every day. It’s not just something that’s 2,000 years old, it’s something that makes sense no matter what is going on in your life.

Support for Amendment 73 varies across Douglas County Tax initiative would increase funding for public education

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Support for an amendment that would increase funding for public schools and raise taxes for some is divided across Douglas County.

While some parents, school board members and members of the faith community have publicly backed the ballot measure, many high-profile public officials are in opposition, raising concerns over tax hikes for residents and businesses.

“It makes Colorado very unattractive to innovators and entrepreneurs,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce.

She was one of about a dozen people who voiced their stance on the amendment during public comment at an Oct. 15 school board meeting in Castle Rock.

Amendment 73 would create a graduated income tax for people earning more than $150,000 a year, as well as raise the corporate income tax rate and lower property taxes. A new income tax bracket system would replace the state’s current flat tax rate of 4.63 percent. The new taxable income tiers would apply to single, head

of household and joint filers.

Those earning between $0 and $150,000 — which accounts for nearly 92 percent of taxpayers in the state — would continue to pay the flat tax rate of 4.63 percent. A person with an income of more than $150,000 would see a tax increase of 0.37, bringing the new income tax rate to 5 percent. The rate would increase by 3.62 percent for an income of more than $500,000.

Douglas County, which has a median annual household income of about $109,000, is regularly ranked among the 10 wealthiest large counties in the nation, which means there’s a likelihood that a higher percentage of county residents would see their taxes rise than in most other Colorado counties.

The amendment also calls for a corporate income tax rate increase from 4.63 percent to 6 percent. The property tax rate for residential property would decrease from 7.2 percent to 7 percent, and the non-residential property rate would go from 29 percent to 24 percent.

Amendment 73 would establish a fund called the Quality Public Education Fund, which would be used to increase per-pupil spending and increase funding for special education, ELL, preschool, among other programs.

In the 2019-20 school year, if passed, the initiative would generate $1.6 billion of new revenue statewide, and per-pupil funding would go from an average of $6,769 to $7,300, according

to a report by the Colorado Legislative Council Staff.

Proponents of the tax measure say the additional funds would make up for statewide cuts that have resulted in00184590 low teacher salaries and a decline in00184591 programming.

The Douglas County School District would see an additional $102.4 million, the district reports, using 2018-19 estimates from the Colorado Department of Education. Per-pupil funding would increase by $1,537.

Unlike neighboring school districts — including Jefferson County Public Schools, Cherry Creek School District

and Littleton Public Schools — that have publicly announced their support for Amendment 73, DCSD has not formally taken a stance.

The district says its main focus is passing Ballot Measure 5A, a $40 million mill levy override, and Ballot Measure 5B, a $250 million bond. If voters approve the local tax initiatives, additional funds would address critical needs in the school district, including building repairs, teacher pay and programming.

But the list of Frank Daniel “Dan” Burgess’ accomplishments goes on.

That’s why the Town of Castle Rock recently granted him the posthumous Cornerstone Tribute award and announced plans to host an unveiling on Oct. 27 of a sign recognizing that achievement.

The Cornerstone Tribute was created by town council in 2007 to recognize people or organizations that help the town reach the four “cornerstones” of Castle Rock’s vision: town identity, community planning, community services and local economy.

The sign honoring Burgess is located at Centennial Park, 825 South St., which he helped create in celebration of the town’s 1981 centennial. A pool at the park is also named for Burgess’ uncle.

An Evening of Hope for pancreatic cancer STAFF REPORT

Paralympian Tricia Downing will share her story of resilience and selfdiscovery at the Evening of Hope fundraiser for Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

“We are excited to have Tricia as our featured speaker this year. Her message of hope in overcoming insurmountable odds will resonate with everyone,” Maureen Shul, founder and executive director of Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research, said in a news release.

Downing, an author and motivational speaker, will deliver the keynote address at the event Saturday, Nov. 17 at Anschutz Medical Campus, Education 2, South Building, in Aurora. The fundraiser will include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a live auction, as well as a range of inspirational stories.

Ticket and sponsorship information is available at wingsofhopepcr.org or by emailing info@wingsofhopepcr.org.

Since its inception in 2012, Wings of Hope has raised more than a half million dollars for pancreatic cancer research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center.

“Despite more people being diagnosed, pancreatic cancer remains one of the most underfunded of all the can-

cers when it comes to research, making the funding raised by Wings of Hope all the more critical,” said Shul, who was driven by her own grief to launch the nonprofit organization.

“After losing my brother and mother to pancreatic cancer within months of one another, I founded Wings of Hope to find purpose and give meaning to all that was lost,” she said in the release.

“When you lose the people closest to you, it has a profound impact on every facet of your life. The decision to begin Wings of Hope was entirely grief driven and changed the trajectory of my life.”

The disease, which ranks third among the leading causes of cancer deaths nationwide, has lagged in research.

“With no early diagnostic methods, effective treatments or cure, the need for aggressive research is of critical importance,” said Shul, the founding mayor of Castle Pines.

Because of the lack of early warning signs for pancreatic cancer, the chance of surviving, even for five years after diagnosis, remains just 8.5 percent.

By the time of diagnosis, the disease is usually in an advanced stage. This year, more than 55,000 people will be diagnosed in the United States, though little more than 10,000 will survive, according to the news release.

27 Douglas County students named AMENDMENT National Merit semifinalists FROM PAGE 3

STAFF REPORT

Twenty-seven Douglas County School District students have been named National Merit Scholarship semifinalists, more than doubling the district’s 12 semifinalists from a year ago.

Fewer than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors become National Merit semifinalists, who compete for 7,500 scholarships worth more than $31 million. The goal of the National Merit Scholarship Corp. is to honor the nation’s scholastic champions and encourage the pursuit of academic excellence.

More than 1.6 million students entered the competition. Three types of National Merit scholarships will be offered in spring 2019 — 2,500 National Merit scholarships, 1,000 corporatesponsored merit scholarships and 4,000 college-sponsored merit scholarships.

Finalists will be announced in February.

The Douglas County semifinalists are: Carson Archuleta, Mountain Vista High School Linday Beil, Mountain Vista High School Matthew Brown, ThunderRidge High School Jacob Carlson, Rock Canyon High School Madeleine Cassic, ThunderRidge

High School Derek Chen, Rock Canyon High School Matt Chen, Rock Canyon High School Sonia Chu, Rock Canyon High School Calvin Ewing, Rock Canyon High School Aldrin Feliciano, STEM School Sarah Gates, Ponderosa High School Brittney Hutchison, Rock Canyon High School Valerie Kakos, SkyView Academy Etash Kalra, Douglas County High School Dale Kim, Rock Canyon High School Justin Kopek, Douglas County High School Benjamin Krawciw, STEM School Gloria Lee, Rock Canyon High School Amber Liu, Rock Canyon High School Michael Loomer, Chaparral High School Brian Ma, Mountain Vista High School Isabelle Meredith, Rock Canyon High School Victoria Messmore, Legend High School Anila Narayana, Rock Canyon High School Dane Rieber, Legend High School Alexis Roth, ThunderRidge High School Aubrey Schafer, ThunderRidge High School

“We respect and encourage voters’ individual responsibility to become informed on State-level initiatives and vote accordingly,” the district’s website says.

On his personal Facebook page, Board of Education President David Ray made a public post in which he explains his reasons for supporting Amendment 73. It’s not the perfect solution, he says, but it is a source of revenue that impacts the least amount of taxpayers.

“Those opposing this amendment have yet to provide a better solution for adequately funding schools,” Ray wrote in the Oct. 19 post. “Amendment 73 is the result of taxpayers taking the issue into their own hands because legislators can’t get the job done.”

Among those who have spoken out against Amendment 73 are the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners and the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

They say the amendment would change the Constitution of the State of Colorado, neglect future inflation and impact smaller businesses that would have a new tax rate.

“Your chamber strongly supports a well-funded and effective PreK-12 system, however, this proposal raises multiple concerns for our members as it places the burden of funding education on the backs of our smallest businesses, threatening their ability to succeed,” the South Metro Chamber said in a statement.

Sandra Brownrigg, a Douglas County parent and former chair of the District Accountability Committee, supports the local bond and mill levy override, but Amendment 73, she said, impacts her short-term priorities of paying for her son’s college and her retirement.

“It’s simply personal to me,” Brownrigg said during public comment at the Oct. 16 school board meeting. “It divides us without solving the problem of education sustainability.”

Adrian Miller, executive director of the Colorado Council of Churches, which represents 13 Christian congregations across the state, disagrees.

His organization supports the amendment.

“We believe that in today’s society, having a comprehensive public education system is so vitality important,” Miller said at the school board meeting.

“Especially to our children on the margins.”

On Nov. 6, voters will decide on Amendment 73, which needs 55 percent of votes to pass.

‘When you feel connected, it changes everything’ Increasing numbers of maternal depression lead to push for support, resources

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

L

issa Miller, 31, has a history of mild depression and anxiety — the conditions run in her family. She used to manage her symptoms with exercise and meditation.

But two years ago, soon after Miller had her second child, the mood disorders rapidly progressed. She had intrusive thoughts of being a bad mother, a failure. A licensed social worker, she was reluctant to ask for help. She knew the system and feared she would lose her job or her kids would be taken away.

Her friends and family pushed for her to see a doctor, who recommended medication as the best route of treatment.

“I’m a pretty smart person,” said Miller, who lives in Parker. “Why was it so hard for me to get help?”

Miller, a vivacious woman who today is at a positive place with her mental health, is one of the every 10 women in Colorado who experience pregnancy-related depression — the most common complication of pregnancy, medical providers say. Nationwide, that number is one in seven. Stigma, fear and access to care often are barriers to receiving treatment. Public health officials and medical providers stress

the importance of knowing the symptoms and early intevention.

“So often in life, ‘everything is great and we are so happy with our lives’ is the story we tell,” said Mandy Bakulski, manager of the Maternal Wellness and Early Childhood Section at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Bakulski Environment. “We need to be encouraging moms and acknowledging that the experience is not as positive as it’s made out to be.”

‘They are not alone’ Each year, about one in five women in the U.S. experience some type of mental health condition, most often depression and anxiety, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Women are more than twice as likely as men to develop an anxiety or depression disorder in their lifetime.

One of the top drivers of Colorado’s increasing rates of maternal mortality is mental-health related causes, Bakulski said, including suicide and substance-use overdose.

About this series In Douglas County, about one in five women between the ages of 18 and 44 reported having depression, according to data collected between 2013 and 2015 by TriCounty Health Department. That number included pregnancy disorders, which medical professionals say are often overlooked but can be readily treated. They have become the focus of recent statewide and local education efforts to eradicate the fear and stigma that keep many women from reporting them.

In today’s report, the sixth installment in Colorado Community Media’s ongoing Time to Talk series about the state of mental health in Douglas County, several Douglas County mothers and local and state medical and mental health experts talk about the importance of seeking support and treatment. “It’s not normal to feel that way, but it is common and a lot of women feel that way,” one state health official said about pregnancy disorders.

“We want moms to know that they are not alone.”

Moms ‘need to know that they are not alone’ Tragedies spurred Highlands Ranch woman to start support group

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nikki Brooker describes herself as confident, able-bodied, a Type A personality. She has a master’s degree in education and taught various subjects in all grades for 20 years in school districts and colleges across the Denver metro area.

She had her first two children in 2000 and 2003. Though she never experienced postpartum Brooker depression or anxiety, motherhood took a toll on her mental health.

“It was a daunting task. There is nothing like it,” said Brooker, 43, who lives in Highlands Ranch. “The isolation and loneliness and unknown

— the inability to be 100 percent your own person ever again.”

Brooker’s mother had recently died and her family lived out of state. She had no friends with kids. The isolation grew so overwhelming that in 2003 she moved her family to Ohio, to be closer to her sister-in-law and mother-in-law.

There, she sought out a support group for moms. She found a preschool parent club with more than 250 mothers.

“It was the most amazing organization I had ever seen,” Brooker said.

“You could go to a different event every day with your kid.”

Brooker and her family moved to Highlands Ranch in 2007. Inspired by what she had found in Ohio, she started a babysitting co-op to build a community of moms, which has grown to 30 members. And she connected with other moms at her gym and through local meet-ups.

In late 2016, tragedy struck at her children’s school, Bear Canyon Elementary. A fellow parent and mother shot and killed her two young sons before taking her own life.

“Being part of that community and watching the devastation of parents and families and the kids, I just went ‘Wow, this isn’t just affecting the family members, this is affecting people all over.’ ” That was the catalyst for Brooker’s nonprofit organization, You Are Not Alone Mom 2 Mom (YANAM2M). She formed the support group for mothers in 2017. They meet weekly at locations around the community, such as Burn Boot Camp or Westridge Recreation Center.

Each mom is offered a “support mom,” who acts as a mentor and friend. Brooker’s mission is to create a space where moms feel safe, accepted and valued.

The group has grown to 35 moms and 35 support moms.

As an infant, Maureen Lake’s daughter was restless, finicky. In her younger years, she was prone to tantrums, boisterous.

When she turned 16, she had no interest in getting her license or dating.

“She played with kids that were younger throughout her entire life,” Lake, who lives in Lake Lone Tree, said. “She really, maturity-wise, was four years younger than her same-level peers.”

In her teens, Lake’s daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety, Lake said.

Now in her 20s, her daughter manages her mental illness with medication, therapy and holistic practices, including acupuncture and meditation. Next year, she will move out of state to start school for her master’s degree in acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

While the majority of mothers with mental health problems get better, extreme cases show the importance of addressing and treating mental illness early on, public health officials and medical providers say. In December 2016, a Highlands Ranch mother shot and killed her two young sons before taking her own life. Two months later, another mother in the community shot and killed her young daughter and then herself. Authorities later released that both mothers had a history of mental illness.

One suffered from depression and bipolar disorder, the other from anxiety and substance use.

In Douglas County, 21 percent of women ages 18 to 44 said they had depression, according to data collected from 2013 to 2015 by TriCounty Health Department, which serves Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams counties. That falls right behind the Colorado average at 22.9 percent.

DID YOU KNOW? One in seven women in the U.S. experience pregnancyrelated depression or anxiety.

One in 10 women in Colorado experience pregnancyrelated depression or anxiety.

12 million women in the U.S. experience clinical depression each year.

Depression occurs most frequently in women ages 25 to 44.

One in eight women can expect to develop clinical depression during her lifetime.

Sources: Postpartum Support International, Mental Health America, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment That number includes all cases of depression, which can be caused by a combination of biological, physiological and social factors.

Often overlooked, pregnancyrelated mood disorders are under the umbrella of mental illness, according to medical professionals in the perinatal field. The most common are depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Symptoms may present themselves during or post-pregnancy, or following the loss of a baby.

‘I felt like I was failing all the time’ Strong support system, medication helped Parker mom regain balance

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Throughout her life, Lissa Miller experienced some depression and anxiety. The mental health disorders run in her family. She managed her symptoms by being mindful and exercising.

In her early 20s, Miller, a Parker resident, was employed as a licensed social worker in Aurora. She worked with abusive parents, neglected children, battered women. Her environment, she said, caused some post-traumatic stress.

When she was 25, Miller had her first child. Though she experienced some symptoms of depression and anxiety, it wasn’t until she had her second child four years later that her mental health spiraled out of control.

She had suicidal thoughts daily, she said. She felt like she was a bad mom and that no one loved her. Her temper was short. She was irritable. Her chest felt tight, her breath short.

“I felt like I was failing all the time,” Miller, 31, said. “I just felt like everything was a mess.”

Five months after her pregnancy, she was driving her two kids to her parents’ house in Brighton when she visualized veering off the road, crashing her car and ending it all.

“It was so hard to talk about because I’m a clinician, I do this for a living — I assess people for threats and suicide every day,” Miller said. “It was really hard for me to say, `Hey, me too.’ I wor-

ried I would be fired or lose my license because I couldn’t even get my act together.”

That day, Miller opened up to a coworker about her feelings, and her coworker encouraged her to see a doctor. She booked an appointment with her nurse practitioner of 10 years at Kaiser Permanante. Together, they decided medication was the appropriate route of treatment.

Lissa Miller with her husband and daughters. “Moms really are the cornerstone of the family,” she said. “If we can’t take care of ourselves, if we are not healthy mentally or physically, it impacts our families.”

COURTESY PHOTO “I’ve been on it ever since and, honestly, it was probably the best decision I ever made,” said Miller, a bubbly woman with an infectious laugh. “I haven’t had a single suicidal thought.

I feel normal — I forgot how great that feels.”

Miller talks to a life coach on a weekly basis. She switched professions and works from home as a representative for Herbalife Nutrition, a company that promotes health. She serves on

the board of a local group for mothers called You Are Not Alone Mom 2 Mom (YANAM2M).

She credits her strong support system of family, colleagues and friends for pushing her to get the help she desperately needed.

“Moms really are the cornerstone of the family,” Miller said. “If we can’t take care of ourselves, if we are not healthy mentally or physically, it impacts our families.”

‘Sounds aren’t loud, colors aren’t bright’ Roxborough mom learned to ask for help when she needed it

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Maria Ayers and her husband thought they had it all planned out.

In 2008, they had their first child. Two years later, they started thinking about a second.

What they hadn’t planned for were twins.

“We had three kids in three years,” Ayers said.

“It was an interesting dynamic of being really excited, but at the same Ayers time being really terrified and worried about, practically, how is this going to work on a day-to-day basis.”

Ayers, 39, had been working parttime and her husband, a contractor,

was facing a layoff. Both of their families live out of the state. Under extreme stress and reluctant to ask for help, Ayers’ mental health declined in the two to three months following her second pregnancy.

Juggling three babies, finances and everyday household duties, she felt like she was in a constant state of struggle, strained and overwhelmed.

She was always tired. She didn’t enjoy anything.

“It just kind of feels like this darkness, like you are looking at your life through a gray, opaque lens,” said Ayers, who lives in Roxborough.

“Sounds aren’t loud, colors aren’t bright.”

Ayers’ background is Latin American. In her culture, she said, mental health is often overlooked, which made it difficult for her to express how she was feeling to her family. She had the mindset that she just needed to “toughen up.”

“My family was supportive of the fact that I wasn’t feeling myself, but

SIGNS OF PREGNANCY-RELATED MOOD DISORDERS Mood disorders can occur any time during pregnancy through the baby’s first birthday.

They can also happen after a miscarriage, pregnancy loss or after adopting a baby. If any of the symptoms listed below persist longer than two weeks, a mother should seek treatment.

• Feelings of anger or irritability • Lack of interest in the baby

• Crying and sadness • Feelings of guilt, shame or hopelessness • Loss of interest, joy or pleasure in things you used to enjoy • Possible thoughts of harming the baby or yourself

• Loss of appetite and trouble sleeping

they would say things like, `You’re not crazy,’ ” Ayers said. “I would say, `I know I’m not. I’m depressed.’ ” Finally, her husband stepped in and told Ayers she needed to see a doctor.

She was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety and prescribed an antidepressant medication, which took a few months to kick in.

“It was finally like I was me again,” Ayers said. “I had a normal range of

emotions.”

She started a consulting business on health equity that allowed her to work from home. To connect with people who understood her struggles, she reached out to local groups for moms of twins. Most importantly, she learned to ask for help when she needed it.

“Families are hard, having kids is hard,” Ayers said. “But they enrich your life in such a different manner.”

She takes pride in caring for others and was reluctant to ask for help when she needed it most.

“Two-and-a-half or three months in I started feeling really out of sorts,” Ayers, 39, said. “It’s like you are seeing yourself live your life but you’re not really there for it.”

Ayers is one of several Douglas County mothers interviewed for this story who have experienced pregnancy-related depression or anxiety. Symptoms typically persist longer than two weeks and can include feelings of anger or irritability, lack of interest in the baby, feelings of guilt, or possible thoughts of harming the baby or oneself.

In 2014-16, 4.2 percent of Douglas County women who recently gave birth reported experiencing postpartum depression, according to Tri-County Health Department. That’s lower than the state average at 10.4 percent, but still a cause for concern among public health officials and healthcare providers.

“We think that is an underestimate because it’s a self-report,” Bakulski said. “Given the stigma and fear around disclosing symptoms, it’s likely some women don’t respond the way that they are actually feeling.”

Pregnancy-related mood disorders differ from the baby blues, which 50 percent to 85 percent of new mothers experience, according to Jenny Paul, licensed clinical psychologist and clinical director of the Healthy Expectations Perinatal Mental Health Program at Children’s HospiPaul tal Colorado, which provides resources for mothers during and post-pregnancy. Perinatal is a term used to describe the period before and after birth.

The baby blues are feelings of sadness or moodiness that occur in the week or two following birth.

Typically, those feelings are sadness, insomnia, loss of appetite or irritability, and generally disappear in one to two weeks.

“A lot of times, women who are experiencing baby blues will not go on to experience postpartum depression or anxiety,” Paul said.

“But many times they will.”

Every experience is different As a licensed social worker, Miller worked with people in detox, abusive parents, neglected children, battered women. The profession, she said, left her with some post-tramautic stress, which she believes exacerbated her symptoms of pregnancy-related depression and anxiety.

A variety of factors, from family history to trauma to access to

County, but our culture as a whole,” she said. “The narcissism of our society — that I have a great life and great kids and a great husband — instead of being real.”

A message of hope At the state, county and local level, efforts to address the mental health of women are on the rise.

don’t have enough mental health providers to cover all of the mental health issues.”

Children’s Hospital Colorado is one of several health and advocacy organizations that hopes to change that.

In response to a growing demand across Douglas County for support groups and services for new mothers, the hospital expanded its Healthy Expectations Perinatal Mental Health Program to its south campus in Highlands Ranch, 1811 Plaza Drive. The program offers weekly support groups for mothers and their babies.

“We really want to have a prevention focus. It gives us an opportunity to provide support as early as possible,” Paul said. “We don’t want to wait until moms need intensive treatment.”

After witnessing the devastation caused by the death of the two Highlands Ranch mothers and their young children, Brooker knew a change had to be made in her community.

A year later, she started You Are Not Alone Mom 2 Mom (YANAM2M), a nonprofit organization for mothers in need of a safe space to connect. The group meets weekly at various locations around Highlands Ranch. Each new mom is offered a “support mom” who acts as a mentor and friend.

Brooker can confidently say her group has saved the life of one mother.

“When you feel connected,” she said, “it changes everything.”

ABOUT THE REPORTER Since joining Colorado Community Media in 2015, Alex DeWind, 25, has won a number of awards for her work. She has reported primarily on Highlands Ranch and the Douglas County School District.

But over the past year, she also has spent much of her time reporting on the state of mental health in Douglas County. In previous segments, she has delved into how mental health challenges have changed the role of law enforcement, how social media and technology affect the mental health of our youth, and the tragedy of suicide among our children.

In today’s issue, she reports the stories that women have so graciously shared in the hopes of helping other mothers with similar experiences.

“I’m constantly surrounded by incredible mothers, and I truly believe that they have the most challenging and rewarding role,” she said.

Candidate hopes to get Libertarian message ‘out there’ Scott Helker, of Golden, is running for Colorado governor

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the race for governor, Scott Helker, the Libertarian candidate, is glad he’s coming in above the Mickey Mouse vote.

A telephone survey conducted by Magellan Strategies LLC that took place between Oct. 8-10 placed Helker at pulling 4 percent of the vote. A Mickey Mouse vote — which is when voters write-in Mickey Mouse rather than selecting any of the other candidates on the ballot — generally accounts for about 2 percent of the vote on Election Day, Helker said.

“The reality is that I’m not going to win,” Helker, 62, of Golden said. “But this is great name recognition.”

By name recognition, Helker doesn’t mean his own name. The whole goal of him running is to get the Libertarian message out there and contribute to the party’s branding, he said.

“There was nobody running for governor in the Libertarian party,” Helker said. “Someone had to do it.

People need to know who we are.”

And following his campaign, the Libertarian party will be able to learn from what went well and what went

wrong, Helker said.

Helker has lived in Golden for about 20 years. With a professional background as an attorney, his focus was mostly criminal law, but would take on any case except personal injury, Helker said. He earned his law degree from the University of Denver in the 1980s, and his career history includes working in the district attorney’s office in Durango and as a public defender in San Jose County in California.

He is no longer an active attorney, but remains involved in real estate investment.

Helker met his wife Lisa in California. The two have been married for 26 years, and they’ve raised a 14-year-old daughter who attends Golden High School.

Helker joined the Libertarian Party about eight years ago.

“The interesting thing about Libertarians,” Helker said, “is that overall, Libertarians are proud to be Libertarians.”

The party’s message is “limited government and fiscal responsibility,” Helker said.

“Libertarians believe the answer to America’s political problems is a fundamental commitment to freedom and voluntary interactions between individuals: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace and free trade,” the Libertarian Party of

Scott Helker of Golden, the Libertarian candidate for governor, jokes that the family dog, Jam, is his campaign manager. Helker’s goal for running for the office is to get the Libertarian message “out there.”

COURTESY PHOTO Colorado’ website states. “Libertarians agree to work towards consistently reducing the government to produce minimum government and maximum freedom.”

If Helker were to be elected as governor, his No. 1 priority, he said, would be to “work on the common ground, rather than that which divides us.”

“There’s got to be something that unifies us,” he said.

Some of the top issues that Helker would take on as governor include

the opioid crisis, water, housing and exemptions for the bankruptcy laws concerning student loans.

During campaigning, he learned that Colorado’s rural communities have a big concern with roads, Helker said. He added their concern is not about congestion, as it is in the cities, but about getting their rural roads paved.

If elected, Helker would offer alternatives to the government solutions to these — and other — issues, he said.

The government is limited on what it can do “because of what government is,” Helker said.

“By thinking outside of the government box,” he said, “you can find a huge wave of alternative ideas.”

For example, Helker said, a solution to “potentially double the current water volumes in the Colorado River basins and refill our slowly depleting aquifers” may be to reintroduce more beavers.

Another example involves homelessness. Helker’s solution is to bring in more tiny houses. Probably a couple hundred tiny homes could fit on a 20-acre plot of land, Helker said.

If given the option to move into a tiny home, it could potentially provide a person facing homelessness an opportunity to start out with cheap rent or perhaps even become a homeowner.

Helker can be considered an educational candidate, said Wayne Harlos, chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado.

“He has worked very hard to get the Libertarian word out,” Harlos said.

Helker spent three days, from “sun up to sun down” campaigning during the town’s Applefest on Oct. 4-7. About 100 people followed up, requesting information so they could learn more about the Libertarian party, Harlos said.

“Those are people who wouldn’t have had that curiosity if it weren’t for Scott’s efforts,” he said.

Campaigning has been “a really nice journey,” Helker said.

“You get to meet a lot of nice people,” he added. “It makes you proud to be a part of this state.”

Even though he’s not a Libertarian, Helker’s friend Ron MacLachlan of Denver said he believes Helker would do a “fair and just job” as governor.

Helker has the ability to truly listen to people, which makes him approachable and reliable, MacLachlan said.

“He’s not a life-long politician who has lobbyists dictating where he goes, looking for the next photo op,” MacLachlan said, adding Helker’s campaign has been largely a grassroots effort. “His willingness to get out there … speaks volumes to his character.”

This is the first time for Helker to run for any elected office, he said.

And following his run for governor, he doesn’t have any immediate plans to run for another office.

“But,” Helker said, “you never know.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Elect George Brauchler Courtroom experience is critical for our next attorney general. George Brauchler has tried hundreds of cases, many high-profile. Ninety percent of the positions in the AG’s office require courtroom experience.

As district attorney for nearly one million people, more than 1 in 6 Coloradans, George has led his office’s efforts to make our community safer by creating a human trafficking unit, setting up an elder-abuse unit to protect the vulnerable in our community, and combating the black market marijuana industry.

As a member of the U.S. Army Reserve, George has been mobilized to active duty twice since 9/11. Most recently, he has served as the chief of military justice for Fort Carson and the U.S. Division-North, 4th Infantry Division in Tikrit, Iraq. He is a colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard serving as a legal advisor for NORAD/ NORTHCOM. The attorney general defends our laws against onerous regulations and appears in court to defend our water and other natural resources. Courtroom experience is not a footnote; litigation is the backbone to the AG’s office.

It is a clear choice. George is the only candidate who has the right experience to serve as Colorado’s next attorney general.

Taxpayers voted “yes” for school bonds in 1970, 1974, 1978, 1984, 1989, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2003 and 2006. It’s been 12 very long years without funding for our capital needs, but that’s the exception, not the rule. My kids have graduated.

They won’t benefit personally from 5A and 5B, but they graduated with a great education from the funding this community invested years ago. I’m grateful that our voters thought they were worth it.

I am lining up my List of Regrets, trying to keep it short, not wanting the depression that might come from certain failures to experience some things.

Number One is my complete failure to have strummed. I watch these boys and girls with their Stratocasters, and it grieves me that I am not one of them. What else? It’s looking like I will never see The Great Wall, although I have been to Hoover Dam. No pyramids for me either. Nor Mexico’s ancient ruins.

Jennifer has been to Dachau. I haven’t. Probably won’t. Will wish I had.

I’m thankful for The Travel Channel, but it’s like kissing only by watching others do it.

H

ow about the excitement most of us recently experienced during the lotteries?

Mega Millions turned into bilWINNING lions of dollars WORDS and Powerball, as of the writing of this column, is creeping up on a billion dollars too.

Wow, talk about excitement, energy, and hope … just incredible.

Now I know that we all don’t play Michael Norton the lottery, as a matter of fact, I am not someone who would normally play the lottery either.

And in other posts and blogs I really advocated for people not to gamble their life savings away or compromise their ability to pay their bills or provide for their families as they caught up in lottery fever.

Yet, like many of you and others

around the country, I had this feeling that I should at least buy a ticket or two. After all, you got to be “in it to win it,” right? I mean the odds are in our favor at a 1 in 300 million chance to win?

What I have enjoyed most as I watched the pot build and the potential winnings escalate week after week is talking with the i people who were so hopeful and E optimistic.

Or overhearing those same con- o versations by others near me in p a restaurant, in the grocery line, d or on an airplane. The hope was a contagious.

You know how the conversations go don’t you? You have probably heard them or have been in them yourself.

And they sound something like this, “When I win the lottery I am going to …” or “If I win the lottery I am going to …” And we can fill in the blanks with everything that we have heard or maybe even thought of ourselves.

Let’s take a look at five myths about Alzheimer’s disease

espite being the No. 6 killer of Americans, and despite being the single largest risk to the health of our Medicare system, Alzheimer’s disease is not widely understood. Even some of the people most clearly at risk will go to great lengths to maintain a distance from the illness.

“Callers to our Helpline sometimes won’t even give us their name,” said Danelle Hubbard, director of Family Services for the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado. She is also one of the care consultants who is available by phone on the association’s free multilanguage Helpline that is accessible 24/7, 365 days a year to provide information and counsel to individuals who have questions or concerns about their own or a loved one’s mental health.

“For some, acknowledging their concerns about memory loss may be an admission of their worst fears — that they have Alzheimer’s disease,” said Hubbard. “For that reason, many people don’t want to address the subject.”

Yes, Alzheimer’s deserves its fearsome reputation. It kills more people annually than breast and prostate cancers combined. Every 66 seconds, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with the disease for which there is no prevention, no treatment and no cure.

And caring for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is currently taking 1 of every 5 Medicare dollars - a

total expected to rise to $1 of $3 by 2050 if a cure is not found.

The Alzheimer’s Association is the largest non-governmental source of funding for research to find a cure for the disease. That research is ongoing.

Until a cure is found, people should be aware of some common myths regarding Alzheimer’s: Myth 1: Memory LIVING & loss is a normal part AGING WELL of aging Reality: It’s normal to have occasional memory challenges as we age, such as forgetting names of someone you just met. The frequent memory loss that is part of Alzheimer’s disrupts your daily Jim Herlihy life, such as needing to rely on memory aids or family members for things that one previously handled on their own.

Myth 2: Alzheimer’s is not a fatal disease Reality: Alzheimer’s disease is America’s sixth-leading killer — ahead of breast and prostate cancers combined. It slowly destroys brain cells, ultimately leading to the loss of body functions and death.

Myth 3: Alzheimer’s only affects the elderly Reality: An estimated 5.5 million Americans are living with Alzheim-

Myth 4: The risk from Alzheimer’s is the same for everyone Reality: While the main risk factor for Alzheimer’s is aging, there are population groups that are at greater risk.

African-Americans are twice as likely as whites to be diagnosed, and Hispanics are 50 percent more likely. And, as a group, two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women.

Myth 5: I can ignore the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and get by Reality: Some people are able to temporarily work around the memory loss and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s, compensating in other ways, but delaying diagnosis is detrimental because it also delays access to medications, supportive services, planning and other resources that help both the person with Alzheimer’s as well

Celeste Tarantola, an Arvada resident, watches dancers on the floor Oct. 26 at Stampede bar and dance club in Aurora. An event for singles in the metro area, organized by Craig Barber on Meetup. com, brought some people to the club.

long with traffic and housing costs, the population boom in the Denver metro area can affect a less obvious part of residents’ lives: navigating the dating world.

“While that doesn’t make us different from New York or San Francisco, it is a change here,” said Dr. Tracy Bacon, a sociology professor at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. “It makes dating a lot harder because dating is expensive.”

From deciding when to move a relationship under one roof to the types of people in the dating pool, Bacon said, a changing population can make the nerve-wracking process even more complex. Added obstacles among young people

can affect looking for marriage, too.

“Most people do still get married eventually, but I feel like with millennials, the difficulty with finding financial stability, finishing education and having all these student loans can make a long-term marriage commitment seem kind of far off,” Bacon said.

But singles can also benefit from a wealth of ways to meet people in the metro area — and it goes far beyond sitting awkwardly in a bar or swiping through faces on a phone.

Young and crowded Many people are moving for reasons like tech-industry jobs or education, and young professionals may have a large dating pool in the Denver area, Bacon said.

t will surprise no one to hear that there are many, many differences between life in New York City and Denver. But comedian and podcaster Crystal Beth has come across one that may not be immediately obvious to most.

COMING “I asked people for ATTRACTIONS recommendations on good therapists, and found out people here don’t really talk about that,” she said. “In New York, all we do is cry on the subway and talk about which therapist we’re seeing.”

Beth and her husClarke Reader band John Robert moved to Colorado about five months ago in search of more affordable space to do what they love—- tell stories, whether that’s through a microphone or on a stage.

“We wanted a room that we could dedicate to our podcasting operation and have permanently set up all the equipment we use for our shows,” Beth explained. “We’ve also started Box W Media, a company that will hopefully allow us to produce podcasts for others.”

The pair recently wrapped up a podcast called “The Fifth Eleminute” which was a minute-by-minute examination of the cult-favorite science fiction film. They’re also part of Unlimited Lives Radio, a video game podcast they host with Carlo Rojas and T.J. Del Reno. c Telling stories is a talent Beth i picked up from her mother. It was w from her mother’s example that Beth m learned what makes a good story (or t joke) — having a good button at the s end that calls back to the beginning. h “You want something that brings t it all together,” Beth explained. “A m good story doesn’t have to be happy w all the way through or anything like that. But it does need to make the lis- t tener feel like the speaker is talking c directly to them.” b The world of podcasting is evergrowing and competitive, which p means that while there are plenty of opportunities for people to talk about C what they love, not everybody has the t talents to make it entertaining or turn podcasting into a sustainable business. y Like all things, developing a good pod- t B cast takes dedication and practice.

“I love stand-up comedy, but I don’t 3 do it to become a famous comedian,” m Beth said. “I do it to work on my writing, develop my voice and figure out L m what makes people laugh.”

Beth’s work allows her to not only discuss things she loves, but also to be open about struggles with anxiety, insecurities and other challenges that she and so many other people experience every day.

DATING

MEETUPS IN AREA

For people who aren’t as educated or have lower income, dating may be difficult here, Bacon guessed.

“Theoretically, anyone can fall in love with anyone,” said Bacon, adding that people can find love across educational divides. “But realistically, we end up with people who are a lot like us.”

The Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan statistical area — which includes Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park counties — was ranked by Forbes as the sixth-best metro area nationwide for young professionals based on factors like the unemployment rate, job growth and other factors in 2017. People age 20 to 34 made up about 23 percent of that metro area in 2017, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

That metro area also had the 10thhighest percentage of college graduates among people age 25 to 34 in large metro areas nationwide, according to a February report by the Brookings Institution based on 2015 numbers.

For out-of-state residents moving to the metro area, meeting people can be difficult, particularly if they have jobs where they work remotely in their apartments, said Dr. Mary Ann Watson, a clinical psychologist and professor emerita at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

And when young people do meet, housing can become a challenge, Bacon said.

“Younger people are living with their

Much like stand-up comedy, podcasting is a predominantly male industry. But Beth is eager to work with women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community to tell stories and share voicies on stages (both physical and digital) that have otherwise been shunted off to the side. As long as they don’t become more successful than her, she adds with a laugh.

“I love helping people get to where they want to be,” she said. “Even if it conflicts immensely with my need to be the center of attention.”

Celebrate Diá de los Muertos with a cultural wallk Halloween is on a Wednesday this year, which makes it a little difficult to properly celebrate the holiday.

parents more,” Bacon said. That’s not a deal-breaker, but “it’s a little harder to date if you’re living at home as an adult. You might see people moving in together before they want to because it saves money — more of a financial decision than a good relationship decision.”

part in meetups, centering around interests like dogs, cooking, tennis and “all sorts of opportunities,” Watson said. “I find that’s usually much more helpful. Particularly, volunteer opportunities are a good way to meet people.”

Craig Barber, a Littleton-area resident who runs meetups on the 5280 Singles, 5280 Singles Over 40 and 5280 Singles Adventures groups, said young singles should stop relying so much on technologies.

“Social media isn’t even social,” said Barber, whose meetup groups boast more than 10,000 members combined.

“Social is talking.”

But online dating can have its upsides, and it’s much less stigmatized than it was years ago, Bacon said.

“When online dating came out, people were like, ‘Oh, what’s wrong with you?’” Bacon said. But “in some ways, it makes it easier — you can weed people out. When you’re in a city with so many people, it’s much more efficient.”

Online and face to face Despite the popularity of dating apps like Tinder, many people in their 20s often continue their “college kind of dating experiences” — namely, in bars, Watson said.

“I’m not sure that’s a very good setting,” Watson said. “In a bar with 200 people there, there might be one or two people more compatible with you.”

Watson contrasted that with volunteering or attending a meetup, a group activity organized online. Meetup.com has options throughout the metro area — from Castle Rock up to Thornton and in between.

People age 30 and up commonly take

Gender and age The nickname “Menver,” given to Denver because of a perceived gender imbalance, dates back years and has caught on in local media — and the statistics appear to back it up in the dating world.

In the metro area — the broad Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, 10-county definition — males outnumber females roughly 224,000 to 183,000 among ages 20 to 34 for people who have never married, according to 2017 Census Bureau data. That gap remains wide all the way up through ages 55 to 59, according to the data.

For LGBTQ singles, gay bars sit in

from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2. The hub of the event is the 40 West Arts Gallery, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood.

All of the district’s galleries, studios and creative businesses will be open to the public and visitors to the district will see multiple exhibits inspired by Diá de los Muertos, including altars and pieces by local grade school students. Aztec dancers in traditional costume and fire artists will also be performing.

For more information, visit www.40westarts.org.

The concert will also feature special guests Alynda Segarra from Hurray for the Riff Raff and Andrea Gibson.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Jim James at the Paramount Theatre There are certain singers who can do things that seem practically inhuman with their voices. Kentucky’s Jim James, the lead singer and songwriter of My Morning Jacket, is one of those singers for me. This year James has released two albums with different approaches on the same songs — “Uniform Distortion” and “Uniform Clarity.”

In honor of the albums, James is going on a first-ever solo tour, featuring just him and longtime touring drummer David Givan play songs from his entire oeuvre. He’ll be stopping by the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place, at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Getting another shot at prom as an adult in RiNo Prom is one of those events that our culture has turned into a major life milestone, when for most people, it was just another in a long line of school dances.

For those who want another crack at the whole prom thing, RiNo is giving adults a chance with the RiNo Prom, beginning at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10 and ending around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, the 11th. Prom will be held at the B-Spot Gallery, 2750 Blake St. in Denver.

This 21-and-older event will feature everything that go into traditional proms —- gowns, tuxes, limo rides and dancing. But there will also be no curfew, spiked punch and more.

central Denver — people in places like Aurora, Highlands Ranch and the outskirts of the metro area are “kind of restricted to coming into town,” Watson said.

Other options include LGBTQ choruses and even LGBTQ issue-based groups, given the current political climate, Watson said. Many meetups are geared toward LGBTQ residents in the area.

For older singles in their 60s and 70s, existing friends can be a road to new connections, Watson said.

“Let them know you’re open to meeting new people or dating new people,” Watson said.

Meetup groups are successful with older singles, too, said Watson, who encouraged them to rekindle activities and interests they haven’t taken up since earlier in life.

Celeste Tarantola, an Arvada resident who said she’s middle-aged, was looking to get out and interact with people after a relationship ended. She doesn’t believe in dating sites, she said, but meetups “got me out of my apartment.” She sat at one such event Oct. 26, watching people learn steps to a country-style dance at Stampede, a country bar and club on the west edge of Aurora.

Barber, who organized the event and sat next to Tarantola, said in an area with such an influx of outsiders, people will encounter different viewpoints, and it’s important to listen and be caring. But in general, his dating advice boiled down to having fun.

“Go out and do the things you like,” Barber said. “Live life, because life is short. That way, at least you’ll have something in common.”

Aspen Grove shoppers may have noticed a parade of folks carrying paintings, panels, pottery and miscellaneous items up the sidewalk recently. How do you move an art gallery a short distance?

The new address for the Rox Arts Gallery at Aspen Grove is Suite 330, after individual artist/members were called upon to schlep their own works, plus display fixtures, a short distance north from the former address, Suite 514, to the new space, Suite 330, just north of Starbucks.

It is a larger space — almost twice as large — which promises room for more artists, according to an early October note from Rox Arts Council President Priscilla Wohl. (New artists are juried in — see roxartscouncil. org.)

The council had originally rented their space on a month-to-month basis, to see if this was a viable idea.

And it has been an attraction to art lovers, shoppers and people interested in attending classes, offered at varying levels of difficulty, including for kids — in various techniques.

A dedicated space for classes will be a welcome addition, as things had to be moved around to make space in the former gallery.

Since Aspen Grove management had a new national chain tenant wanting Suite 514, the gallery had to vacate by the end of October.

Fortunately, a new, larger space was available — Rox Arts Gallery got new keys Oct. 15 and now has a long-term lease.

Current members volunteered to clean, paint, install new slat walls, build storage and more, within a short time frame.

Roxborough Arts Council is a longrunning, membership-based 501(c) (3) organization that includes artists from throughout the south metro area and opened its gallery last week at the new address.

Nonprofit group helps clothe kids Clothes to Kids of Denver serves metro area families

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Inside a storefront in a corner of a shopping center off Colorado Boulevard, a group of teenage girls sorts through piles of clothes and hangers.

They chatter as they work, pointing out national brand names like Vineyard Vines as they go through the donated clothes.

Student Marygrace Adam, who with her peers from St. Mary’s Academy is volunteering this day at Clothes to Kids of Denver, is glad to be helping.

“These clothes are going to people who need it,” she said.

The nonprofit receives donations every day, said Katie Jones Jadwin, executive director of the organization that operates at 2890 S. Colorado Blvd. The sorting room is lined with folded clothes. Bags of recently donated items fill bins by the front door.

Clothes to Kids operates a store in the same shopping area where people can make an appointment to get school wardrobes for their kids.

Each child receives five tops, four bottoms, a coat, a pair of shoes, as well as five pairs of underwear and socks, all for free. The socks and underwear are guaranteed to be new, Jones Jadwin said. The store offers clothes to people from 3 to 21 years old, as long as students are enrolled in a school or GED program.

Serving those in need Parents are referred to Clothes to Kids by aid organizations, schools or nonprofits. Children in foster care or children who qualify for free and reduced lunch also qualify for clothes at the nonprofit. Families can get clothes for their children once every six months, Jones Jadwin said.

The nonprofit also offers what Jones

Jadwin calls extras — books, games, cleats and play clothes.

While socks and underwear will always be popular items, shoes and coats can be the difference between getting to school or not, Jones Jadwin said.

“If they have any type of walking or bus trip, where they have to wait at the bus stop, we found that coats really lower truancy rates,” she said.

Last year, the nonprofit handed out 9,454 wardrobes. In September, it gave out its 50,000th wardrobe and in July its 1 millionth piece of clothing.

Clothes to Kids is hoping to give out close to 10,000 wardrobes this year, Jones Jadwin said.

Although the nonprofit allows for people to come in for clothes twice per year, about 80 percent of the families only visit during back-to-school season. During that time, the nonprofit has 100 appointments a day.

Clothes to Kids also helps families experiencing a crisis.

Maria Trujillo was shopping at the store for the first time in early Octo-

ber. She had heard about the program though the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) food program and St. Joseph Catholic Parish in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Trujillo had recently been diagnosed with cancer, making it all but impossible for her to work, she said. In addition to her two children, she also cares for her sister’s kids. Being able to find something to help them out was a weight off her chest, she said.

“I don’t want the kids at school bullying them or making fun of them,” Trujillo said. “It’s a tough situation. I didn’t expect to have cancer, but I do.”

Saying yes to everyone In 2008, Clothes to Kids started in the shop where the sorting area is now housed. The crammed shop had room for one dressing room. At first, the organization only served the city of Denver. But as word spread about Clothes to Kids, people began coming in from all over the state, Jones Jadwin said. Now, the store serves Denver, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas, Jefferson, Gilpin, Clear Creek, Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties.

“A lot of people are willing to make the drive,” Jones Jadwin said. “We really decided to expand so we could say yes to everybody.”

The shop has also expanded in size.

Clothes to Kids moved to its current location in 2010. The larger space was larger included a room in the back for sorting donated clothes. In 2014, the nonprofit expanded again by knocking out the back walls and using the whole space for a store. At that time, it also began renting out the original shop space as a sorting area.

Since Clothes to Kids serves some children in foster care, Jones Jadwin said it was important to separate the donation space from the rest of the store. This way, clothing donated in trash bags is kept in the sorting area and away from the shopping side.

“It was kind of triggering for our youth in foster care. If they’ve been removed from home, often their belongings are all thrown in a black garbage bag,” Jones Jadwin said. “When they come here I don’t want them to see a black trash bag during a visit. I want them to see pretty clothes arranged how they like.”

While her children looked at shoes, Trujillo sorted through a rack of clothes in the back of the store. She said she was grateful to Clothes to Kids for helping her get back on her feet. She plans on bringing in clothing that her own children have outgrown, as a way to give back.

“It’s my turn, you know,” she said.

“You get some and you return some.”

Potter’s work harkens back to ancient Native Americans Elbert County resident is proud to be member of Kickapoo tribe

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Elbert County resident Propone creates artworks on her potter’s wheel she is doing it much the same way as her Native American ancestors.

“I am a member of the Kickapoo tribe and I am proud of my Native American heritage,” she said. “The pottery of my ancestors as well as the pottery made by many Native American tribes was beautiful. As much as possible I wanted to create my pottery as my ancestors and the potters of other tribes did.

“I felt that to be able to do that I spent time studying about learned all I could about the methods they uses and I am using a great many of those techniques when I work on my pieces.”

Propone said Native American pottery-making history dates back thousands of years to the ancient people known as the mound builders. She said she studied not only the different styles of pottery made by different Native American tribes but also the techniques used in making the pottery.

“I do a few contemporary art works for my own creative pursuits,” she said. “But most of my pottery is done in the traditional style and I try to do it as much as possible in the traditional way.”

She starts by making her creating her clay.

The Elbert County artist said she gathers her materials and grinds them to make the clay she uses to create her pottery. She said mixing the ingredients is only the first step because the clay must then be aged. She said she ages the clay for about six months before she feels it is ready to use.

“I am very methodical about all I do related to creating my pottery,” she said. “I always take my time because I have never found any shortcuts that work in any part of creating pottery.”

She said once a piece is completed it must be set allowed time to dry. She said it could take several weeks for the

“Again, I follow the tradition of my ancestors in firing my pottery and use buffalo chips as fuel for the kiln,” she said. “Buffalo chips are dried buffalo feces. Fortunately I have a ready supply of buffalo chips to fire my kilns because there are several buffalo farms in Elbert County and the owner allow me to gather the buffalo chips I use to fire my kilns.”

Propone said she is probably best known for the pottery style of Native American tribes around the Great Lakes. One of her signature creations is a bowl with a bison carved into the outside of it.

She said her work is featured in a number of galleries including the Sorrel Sky Gallery in Santa Fe. A store representative said they have always had a collection of her fine ceramic pottery available.

According to research, the Kickapoo tribe was originally located in Wisconsin area.

“The Kickapoo tribe sided with French and when the French lost the French and Indian war, the British took over the land and ordered all tribes to move south,” Propone said.

“My ancestors made their own trail of tears, walking about 700 miles in winter to Kansas. A lot of tribe members didn’t make. Those who did make it settled there on the reservation lands established in 1832. Some members of the tribe left the area and settled along the Texas-Mexican border. Now there are Kickapoos in Kansas, Kickapoos in Oklahoma and another group in the Texas-Mexican border.”

Program dedicated to youth mental health Partners for Children’s Mental Health tackle statewide issue

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In Colorado, suicide is the leading cause of death for youths ages 10-17, and one in six teens has a diagnosable mental health condition, Children’s Hospital Colorado reports.

Over the last decade, Children’s Hospital has seen a six-fold increase in admissions to its emergency departments and urgent care locations following a suicide attempt.

The hospital is committed to changing what experts describe as a youth mental health crisis.

“There isn’t a day that goes by that

you don’t have to have really difficult conversations with your kids,” Children’s Hospital Colorado CEO and President Jena Hausmann said at a roundtable discussion with local media outlets on Oct. 22. Hausmann is also the mother of three teenagers.

“This will be years worth of work,” she said.

In October, the hospital rolled out a four-year strategic plan for Partners for Children’s Mental Health, a program that brings together nonprofit organizations, pediatric experts, government agencies and stakeholders across the state to prioritize youth mental health.

The state attorney general’s office announced on Oct. 16 that it would provide a $2.8 million grant to support the program. The collaboration with hospitals and nonprofit organizations to increase access to pediatric mental health care is the first of its kind in

the state, states a news release from the attorney general’s office.

Between June and September, Partners for Children’s Mental Health initiated a strategic planning process that involved more than 600 community stakeholders representing more than 260 organizations, including state and county departments, school systems, family members, hospitals, foundations and Medicaid.

Overarching goals were to establish a state entity to oversee the children’s behavioral health system, ensure high-quality behavioral health care and reduce barriers to accessing care, among other talking points.

“There needs to be a single point of accountability,” said Shannon Van Deman, executive director of PCMH and vice president of the hospital’s Pediatric Mental Health Institute.

“There needs to be a group to oversee the needs of the patient and family.”

PCMH has established 30 goals in areas of funding, array of services, quality, care coordination, screening and governance. The next step is to review the goals with key stakeholders and form an implementation strategy with the help of advocates and organizations from across the state. Those interested in learning more about PCMH’s efforts should contact PCMH@childrenscolorado. org.

Children’s Hospital expects the new governor elected in November to back the mission of PCMH, said Heidi Baskfield, vice president of Population Health and Advocacy at Children’s Hospital. Funding for youth mental health is also expected to be a topic of discussion in the 2019 legislative session.

“It’s going to take that level of focus and that level of leadership,” Baskfield said.

Talking about safe sleep for infants Sleep Guidelines developed by The American Academy of Pediatrics.

They are trainings, Jacobson said, but “it’s really a conversation.”

Attendees will be empowered with the right information and skills to problem-solve any obstacle or challenge they may face with following the Safe Sleep Guidelines, Jacobson added.

Two Straight Talk for Infant Safe Sleep classes will be offered in Denver — one for parents and caregivers and another for healthcare professionals.

Both classes take place at the mama ‘hood, which is a place for new-andexpecting mothers that offers a variety of classes and a curated retail boutique.

The parent/caregiver class will entail an explanation of the top five of the approximate 18 Safe Sleep Guidelines, and the reasons behind these recommendations. The class will also include a group conversation to brainstorm what challenges parents face with meet-

ing Safe Sleep Guidelines and how to overcome the challenges. The group will also share past successes and create a network of support.

This is education and training that’s difficult to find anywhere else, Jacobson said. And it needs to begin early, she added — even as early as when you start setting up the nursery, or even as soon as you learn you’re pregnant.

The healthcare professionals’ class consists of a thorough overview of the Safe Sleep Guidelines and the reasoning behind each one. This class will also include group discussions, but also role play. Attendees will learn how to create a two-way conversation with parents and gain knowledge on how they can help parents create a plan to implement safe sleep and breastfeeding in each household that considers each family’s beliefs, values and living and working situations.

Considering the average size of each

class is 35-to-40 attendees, Jacobson said, following the training, each of those participants will have the knowledge and ability to reach at least twice that many people in their community.

It is important to spread the word about this infant-care information and education, said Mimi Wogtech, marketing manager for The Boppy Company.

The Boppy Company has had a longtime partnership with First Candle and launched its The Momkind Project — a corporate social responsibility program with a mission of educating, empowering and supporting families in their new parent journey — in March 2018, Wogtech said.

“There’s so much education for people to learn on their new parent journey, and safe sleep practices for infants is vital to healthy, growing families,” she said. “This is information that can save lives.”

It’s not common knowledge for people to know that 3,600 babies die every year because of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or from a sleep-related infant death, said Alison Jacobson, CEO of First Candle, a national nonprofit dedicated to the education, advocacy and research of SIDS. “No one wants to talk about it,” Jacobson said. “But until we have those conversations, nothing will change. We have to talk about it.”

To help, a partnership between First Candle and The Boppy Company — the Golden-based manufacturer of Boppy infant products — is bringing a special training class to the Denver area for the first time.

Sprout, the only boys competitor for Valor Christian, was timed in a course record 15:16.1 and enjoyed an over 24-second margin of victory in his first state championship appearance in the state’s highest classification.

“They were both pretty challenging,” admitted Sprout when ask which state title felt best. “I felt a lot stronger this year for sure, a lot faster.

“I was pretty optimistic that I had a good chance of winning. The first two miles I had the two Dakota Ridge guys (Connor Ohlson and Austin Vancil) with me... It felt awesome especially to have a fast time. Super humbling for sure.”

have admitted this before, but often I have a tendency to like the old way that things were done.

However, I welcome the change the Colorado High School Activities Association adopted for the state volleyball tournament with the elimination of pool play.

The tournaOVERTIME ment will now be a three-day affair instead of two days and matches will have a good chance to start when scheduled.

Along with the extra day, many Jim Benton fans will still have to deal with the adventure of maneuvering their cars around the dips in the parking lot at the Denver Coliseum.

But, at least after getting parked, they won’t have to watch a meaningless pool play match between two teams that have already been eliminated from advancing by the third team in the pool.

All five classes will qualify 12 teams for the state tournament, which will be held Nov. 8-10 at the Denver Coliseum. An Olympic cross-over double elimination bracket format will be used to determine the semifinal teams and then it will be single elimination.

Regional tournaments will be held Nov. 3 and the 12 regional champions from three-team regional pools advance into the state tournament.

“I am looking forward to the new format,” said Lutheran coach Alicia Oates who is in her 14th season as Lions coach. “I feel like 3A this year will have a really strong bracket across the board, so it will be exciting to see how it plays out. A team could lose in the first round and still come back to win the entire tournament.

“It will also be beneficial to not have tie-breakers pushing back start times. As with any change, I am sure there will be some feelings of `I liked it better the old way’ but in the long run I think it will be great competition, a fun environment and a welcome change.”

Valor Christian coach Kaitlyn Hastings also casts a vote in favor of the change.

t can be difficult to defend a championship, but two individual athletes from Douglas County schools and the Mountain Vista girls team repeated during the CHSAA Cross Country Championships, which were held Oct. 27 at the Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs.

Mountain Vista junior Jenna Fitzsimmons won her second consecutive Class 5A individual title and helped the Golden Eagles girls team capture the state crown for the second straight season with a 44-point advantage over runner-up Cherry Creek.

Cole Sprout, a junior at Valor Christian and last season’s Class 4A boys state champion, made it to the top of the podium for the second year in a row by winning the 5A state title.

Mountain Vista’s defending state champion boys team didn’t have anybody finish in the top 10 but bunched the five scoring runners within 16 places of each other high in the standings and took home the secondplace team trophy.

Fitzsimmons was second at the mile marker but entered the arena and ran toward the finish line all by herself with a 13-second advantage over Valor Christian sophomore Taylor Whitfield. Fitzsimmons had a win-

ning time of 18:12.3.

She was one of three Golden Eagles girls to finish in the top 10. Sarah O’Sullivan was sixth and Madison Reed 10th. Caroline Eck was 12th and the fifth scoring runner Makenna Anderson was 21st.

“We just tried to go into every race super loose, knowing we have something to do but not putting a ton of pressure on us,” said Fitzsimmons.

“It’s so fun to have such an amazing team. We all push each other.

“It was a fun race. There were some ups and downs. Your mind is kind of going everywhere. I knew I had it won once I came in. Anytime I was doubting myself and I was not sure what was going to happen I just thought about doing it for the other girls on the team and knowing they’re putting

Whitfield tried her best and is being compared to some of the other top runners in the state but couldn’t keep pace with Fitzsimmons over the final mile.

“I am amazed how good she is,” said Whitfield. “She set the pace. I gave my best. The girls are so fast.

Aidyn Woodall, a freshman from Douglas County, was seventh.

place. Castle View was sixth and Chaparral ninth.

In the 3A boys race, SkyView Academy freshman Owen Nolan was sixth and crossed the finish line just in front of senior teammate Tyler Scholl, who was seventh. The Hawks were fifth in the final team results.

“It was a crazy experience,” Nolan said of his first state championship race in which he turned in a time of 16:36.3. “I just tried to stay with guys. I felt pretty good. I tried not to go all out at the beginning and finish strong.”

“I really do like the new format,” she said. “The majority of us coaches in Jeffco were in agreement that this avoided a lot of the issues we saw with the old format. There is no need for tie-breakers which at times would often set up one or more teams for a disadvantage coming in to the semifinals and finals, having played many more sets than the opponents.

“There are not matches that are being played that don’t have an impact on the outcome of the tournament.

“It keeps things running on time so that the state championship match is at a set time and not dependent on tie-breakers and delayed until late evening as it has been every year we have been at the tournament.”

Hastings, the third-year Eagles coach and a former head coach at Denver West and Hart County in Hartwell, Georgia, had to adapt to less preparation time during the state tournament..

“In Georgia where I was previously coaching, we had one round of the playoffs each week, so it was spaced out and you could really prepare

for the one team you were going to play and we played at the higher seed which gave the upper seed a home-court advantage,” she explained. “I definitely like elements of this as well but there is something to be said about the great atmosphere that is at the Coliseum with all the teams vying for a championship.”

FROM PAGE 14

Pay off all my debt and the debt of my family. Donate 50 percent to charity. Buy a house in this neighborhood or that city.

Support my church and the missions that we finance. Buy a boat, no not a boat, a yacht.

No not a yacht, a fleet of yachts. And the list goes on and on. It is fantasy land, it is fun to dream, it is a vortex of hope in the land of hope and dreams.

A friend of mine in Australia, Martin, recently reminded me of something that has nothing, and yet everything to do with our recent lottery frenzy.

He was telling me about a moment of personal reflection and prayer where he felt led to act upon the thought, “Don’t worry about doing something big Martin, just do something good.”

Think about that for a moment. We don’t have to win the lottery to do something good, we can be doing good right now.

As always, I love talking with people in the community. And as I waited in line to buy my own tickets, I really enjoyed the conversations I had with people.

The smile in their eyes, the hope in their hearts, their very best of intentions revealed if only they could buy the winning ticket.

Hope was born. Now I am not saying that they didn’t already have hope, but I think you would agree with me that the recent lottery fever had many people even more hopeful than they were before.

With all of those millions and billions of dollars we had won in our minds, we were willing to change our lives, our family’s lives, our community, our house of worship, and in some way even the world. It feels so good to hear those thoughts and have those thoughts doesn’t it?

Best turnarounds The 5A football regular season wrapped up Oct. 27 and there were a few teams that have made big turnarounds this season and deserve to be mentioned.

Castle View, Westminster and Smoky Hill struggled in 2017 and finished with 1-9 records.

The Sabercats and Westminster headed into their final regular season games with 7-2 records and Smoky Hill was 9-0. Todd Casebier is the first-year coach at Castle View and Tom Thenell took over as Smoky Hill coach. Kerry Denison is in his 10th season as Wolves coach and has restored the program after back-toback 1-9 seasons.

Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

Let’s take away the millions and billions of dollars for now, as it is only a matter of time before we do win. But let’s pretend that we never win that much money, can we still find that same passion and sense of purpose of how we can help others?

Can we think about the changes we want to make in our own lives, as small as they may be, and make those changes anyway?

Can we walk into the store to buy something other than a lottery ticket and still have hope filled and hopeful conversations with people we run into? Can we donate a few dollars instead of millions?

As I close I want to share with you something Zig Ziglar used to say about money. Zig would say, “I have had money and I haven’t had money, all things being equal, I would rather have money. Money is kind of like oxygen, when you really need it, there is no substitute.

But here’s the thing with money; money will buy you a bed, but not a good night’s sleep; money will buy you a house, but not a home; money will buy you a companion, but not a friend; and money will buy you a good time, but not peace of mind. You see, we want all the things money will buy, but we also want more of the things money won’t buy.”

So how about you? Are you hope-filled and hopeful whether you win the lottery or not?

Can you make good contributions today and not wait or worry about having to do something big?

I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember just how powerful hope is, and how we can make a difference today, it really will be a better than good week.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance.

Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears.

An old friend brings good news.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other, potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

- Aldous Huxley

Every day, the government makes decisions that can affect your life. Whether they are decisions on zoning, taxes, new businesses or myriad other issues, governments play a big role in your life.

Governments have relied on newspapers like this one to publish public notices since the birth of the nation. Local newspapers remain the most trusted source of public notice information. This newspaper publishes the information you need to stay involved in your community.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Read your public notices and get involved!
