A trip to world of wonder Englewood brings train attraction back for third year

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood’s Belleview Park underwent a holiday makeover over the weekend as the Englewood Farm and Train at the park became a winter wonderland. The miniature train that has been part of Englewood for decades was decked out in holiday lights, and the barn was ready for

Santa to meet with children as he stepped off the train to a line full of residents waiting for him.

Englewood’s Holiday Express was back for the third straight year as the Englewood Farm and Train became the North Pole. The event was family friendly and took place on Dec. 6 and Dec. 7. It will be back again this week on Dec. 13 and Dec. 14, but both nights are sold out.

Residents could ride the train, roast s’mores, do arts and crafts and have their children visit Santa.

“It’s kind of that one stop for all of the Christmas, holiday stuff, instead SEE WONDER, P8

Cormac Jacobs wanders around Belleview Park. Residents could ride the train, roast s’mores, do arts and crafts and have their children visit Santa at Englewood’s Holiday Express.

The days of residents listening to Englewood police officers and dispatchers on scanners are fading as the department prepares to encrypt its radio transmissions.

In an August letter to Englewood Police Chief John Collins, Cmdr.

Vance Fender announced the police department’s plans to encrypt its radios. The Englewood department is following the footsteps of other police departments who are encrypting their radio transmissions — including the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office.

The sheriff ’s office will encrypt its radio transmissions by mid-January with at least some Arapahoe County municipalities following suit, likely around the same time as the sheriff ’s office.

“When the other law enforcement agencies in Arapahoe county switch to encrypted radio traffic, Englewood will no longer be able to communicate with those agencies on their primary channels. We will not be able to monitor their channels, or transmit on their channels,” the letter says.

The price to encrypt the department’s radio channels costs the same as it does to keep radio channels non-encrypted, according to the letter.

Englewood Police will use the radio vendor BearComm, and it will cost around $38,312.

RTD board to discuss possible service cutbacks Public can attend but not address study session scheduled for Dec. 19

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mandatory overtime for light rail operators and bus drivers is taking a toll on the employees, as well as the Regional Transportation District (RTD) system as a whole — and service cutbacks could be on the horizon.

Due to a chronic driver/operator shortage, current RTD bus drivers and light rail operators are required to work six days a week, which averages to be an approximate 52-hour workweek for many of them, said Natalie Menten, RTD director for District M, which includes Golden, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood.

“We’ve tried many steps to bring in more drivers and keep them,” Menten said, “but we’re not getting ahead of it.”

Some employees like the overtime, but others, even with incentives provided, have a hard time working that much, Menten added.

And in general, “those with lower seniority (recent hires) are the ones forced to work overtime,” Menten said, “so we don’t retain them.”

The Sky Ridge Station was one of the three new light rail stations that opened in May as part of the Southeast Rail Extension project in Lone Tree.

COURTESY PHOTO Now, RTD is looking at potential service cutbacks to possibly relieve the driver shortage.

These cutbacks would affect the system metro-wide, including light rail and bus service. But as of now, it is unknown what will be cut, Menten said, adding that a draft of any potential cutbacks is currently in the works. Still, it’s quite possible that bus and rail service could be cut by 5% to 10%, and/or route service hours could be reduced.

There are three rail lines that will not be affected by any potential cutbacks. They are lines A, B and G. This is because Denver Transit Partners —

Small Business Development Center Consulting and Training

RTD’s selected concessionaire for the Eagle P3 Project which includes the A, B and G rail lines — has a long-term agreement through 2056 to operate and maintain those rail lines.

A draft of potential cutbacks is expected to be presented to RTD’s board of directors at a study session meeting on Dec. 19. The meeting is open to the public but there will be no public comment period for this issue at the meeting.

However, RTD has been initiating public outreach efforts since October, Menten said, and during November, asked people to complete a survey relating to their RTD service prefer-

ences. A main portion of the survey was for RTD to receive feedback on two rider options: (1) keep the current service as advertised but have no guarantee the bus or train would arrive on time or at all; or (2) reduce the service but have a better chance that the bus or train will show up.

About 13,000 people took the survey, Menten said, and 60% of them favored option 2, noting that reliability was most important to them.

In a press release, RTD’s general manager and CEO Dave Genova stated the importance of rider and stakeholder input.

“My staff is confident that we are presenting the board with ample information as they consider making this impactful decision,” Genova said in the press release of the potential cutbacks.

Once the draft of potential cutbacks has been presented to the board this December, RTD will be seeking more public input through January. Based on the input from this upcoming public outreach period, the RTD board will make a decision, Menten said.

The decision will likely happen in February, and any potential changes would be implemented in spring 2020.

“We’re at the point that riders are getting upset that they can’t depend on the service we advertise,” Menten said.

After spending only a little over a year as the principal at Cherrelyn Elementary School in Englewood, Rebecca Orsund will no longer hold that position, Englewood Schools has announced.

In a letter to parents on Dec. 3, Englewood Schools Superintendent Wendy Rubin announced the news.

Orsund took over as principal at the beginning of the 2018-19 school year.

Julie McMorris, a spokesperson for Englewood Schools, said the district can’t comment on the announcement, because it is a personnel matter.

“We realize that this news is sudden and unexpected, and we want to assure you that Cherrelyn will be in good hands moving forward,” Rubin’s letter says.

Leigh Pytlinski, director at the Maddox Early Childhood Education Center in Englewood, will serve as principal at the school until winter break. Students begin break on Dec. 20. Following that, an interim principal will be named, and the school district will carry out a hiring process

Before becoming principal at Cherrelyn Elementary, Orsund was an assistant principal at Evergreen High School for two years. She also taught second, third, fourth and sixth grades in Jefferson and Douglas counties as well as in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Orsund also mentored teachers and worked with students as an instructional coach in Jefferson County.

“Thank you for bearing with us through this unforeseen change. Please know that Cherrelyn is a special community and everyone involved in this transition is committed to maintaining and even enhancing Cherrelyn during this process,” Rubin wrote.

Annual campaign collects socks for homeless Footprints to Recovery’s Socks of Love contributions will go to Samaritan House shelter in downtown Denver STAFF REPORT

Socks are the least donated item to homeless shelters, yet they are vital to helping homeless people stay dry, warm and free from disease.

According to a news release, charities often cannot accept used socks for sanitary reasons, and buying new socks doesn’t always seem apparent to those making donations. However, as the cold sets in, the need is greater.

Footprints to Recovery is kicking off its third annual Socks of Love campaign, with the hope of collecting 10,000 pairs of socks nationally. The socks accepted through the Centennial donation center will be dispersed to the Samaritan House Homeless Shelter, 2301 Lawrence St. in downtown Denver.

Distribution dates will be Tuesday, Dec. 17 and Wednesday, Jan. 15.

“It is the little things in life that we take for granted each day, such as a clean pair of socks to put on in the

morning,” Mike Sinnett, vice president of Catholic Charities, said in the release. “However, if you are experiencing homelessness, socks are not taken for granted but a valued resource, especially in the winter.”

Donations of new socks can be dropped off at Footprints to Recovery Alcohol & Drug Outpatient Treatment Facility, 6505 S. Paris St., Centennial; Mental Health Colorado, 1120 Lincoln St., Ste. 1606, Denver; or Salon Bodhi, 563 Detroit St., Denver.

Those who would like to donate online, go to https://footprintstorecovery.com/blog/socks-of-love-3rd-annual-donation-drive-to-help-the-homeless/?sfns=mo.

Footprints to Recovery is a collection of regional drug and alcohol treatment centers with headquarters in Chicago and facilities in Illinois, Colorado and New Jersey. The treatment centers provide services that include customized treatment planning, individual and group therapy and co-occurring and dual diagnosis care. Supplementary and alternative services include acupuncture, chiropractic work, massage therapy, meditation practices, pet and equine therapy, spirituality groups, 12step programming, writing workshops and yoga.

RTD FROM PAGE 2

Dropping some of the bus services has been happening for about three years now, Menten said, and dropping some light rail services began in June this year.

One reason for the light rail drops, which is not on the forefront, is the extension of the Southeast Rail Line, Menten said. This line originally opened in 2006, but the extension of service into Lone Tree opened in May this year.

“Most don’t think 2.3 miles would affect it system-wide,” but it has, Menten said.

This is because the extension was partially funded by federal money, Menten said, and the federal government requires the line to provide more frequent service than what is actually needed. This means, for example, if an operator needs to take a restroom break, another employee must be on standby to operate the train. To solve this problem, RTD is waiting to hear back from the federal government on a request to reduce that service, Menten said.

Ridership is also low on some of the bus routes and rail lines, Menten said. For example, the W Line, which runs to and from the Jefferson County government complex in Golden and Union Station in downtown Denver, had 4.3 million boardings in 2018 — the latest ridership numbers available to date.

This may sound like a lot, Menten

said, but it’s not even half of the original projection for that rail line. The 4.3 million breaks down to about 12,000 boardings per day during a seven-day week, Menten said.

The original projection was nearly 20,000 boardings per day, for the five-day, Monday through Friday, workweek.

The bus driver and rail operator shortage, leading to possible service reductions, and the low ridership are all on top of the fact that RTD is now on the search for a new person to serve as its general manager and CEO. Genova, who had been employed by RTD since 1994, announced on Nov. 22 that he is preparing to retire, which will occur after the new year.

“We certainly have our hands full at RTD,” Menten said.

The RTD board study session on possible service cutbacks that is open to the public will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 19 at the RTD Board Office, 1660 Blake St. in Denver.

While no public comment is scheduled for the meeting, the public will have opportunities in the near future to provide input on any proposed service changes. In addition, members of the public are always welcome to reach out to their RTD director. To find your RTD director or district, visit https://www.rtd-denver.com/boardof-directors.

RTD will also put out information about any potential service cutbacks once it’s available. Visit https://www.rtd-denver.com/newsstop to learn more.

5 things to know: Auto group takes high polluters off road Clear the Air Foundation takes donated cars, provides auto tech scholarships

looking to enter the automotive technician field.

With about 12 years under its belt, the foundation has taken thousands of cars off the road and counting.

Here’s a look at how it all works and what the organization has its eye on.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

How it works The nonprofit foundation was created in 2007 by the board of directors of the dealers’ association. Zeigler became the foundation’s director in 2018.

“When vehicles are donated, the engines are always destroyed, ensuring that we are clearing the air.

Other parts are either recycled or parted out,” Ziegler said.

The foundation accepts vehicle donations from anyone in Colorado, and since it’s a 501(c)3, donors may get a tax benefit. It also takes in cash donations, which are combined with proceeds from the sale of vehicles to fund scholarships.

In 2007, Colorado’s then-Gov. Bill Ritter made a push to tackle climate change.

Among the efforts: suggesting that Colorado adopt a policy similar to California’s stringent auto-emission regulations.

The Colorado Automobile Dealers Association opposed that idea, but it put forth a vision of its own.

“Most vehicle emissions come from older, high-polluting vehicles.

It is our opinion that rather than heavily regulating new vehicles, the most effective solution is to permanently remove as many of these older, high-polluting vehicles as possible,” said Mark Zeigler, director of Clear the Air Foundation.

Thus, that foundation was born, an arm of the dealers’ association that takes in donated vehicles, recycles them and puts the proceeds toward scholarships for Colorado students

H H H

Racking up numbers Clear the Air is budgeted to provide $50,000 in scholarships annually. By partnering with school foundations, the foundation can receive matching funds, which doubles the award, Ziegler said.

2

“We also work with Matco Tools and Snap-on Tools to take advantage of their student discount programs. These programs provide students with a 50% discount, which doubles the award,” Ziegler said. “We anticipate the total value of scholarships awarded in 2019 to exceed $100,000.”

Donations to Clear the Air come from all over Colorado, and its largest donor in 2018 and so far in 2019 is the Pueblo Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram store. Most donations come from new car dealers, and the foundation also takes donations from the public.

“I can tell you that in 2019, the average age of donated vehicles is 19 years,” Ziegler said.

Fueling education Most of the foundation’s scholarships go to students enrolled in a two-year auto tech program.

“Also, we are able to recognize employees at new car dealerships in a formal apprenticeship program with a tool scholarship,” Ziegler said.

There are thousands of jobs available in Colorado alone, according to Ziegler.

“According to the National Automobile Dealers Association,

3

the average pay for an automotive technician is more than $61,000 a year, plus benefits,” Ziegler said. “A master certified automotive technician can earn more than $100,000 a year if they have the right work ethic.”

Pulling thousands off road As of Dec. 5, the foundation has permanently taken 4,421 vehicles off the road, Ziegler said.

“Over the past five years, we’ve averaged 619 each year,” Ziegler added. “However, we are already at 731 this year. We received the 501(c)3 designation in 2011; at that point, we could recycle vehicles.”

4

Addressing shortage For now, the foundation is focusing on increasing vehicle donations and getting more people interested in an auto tech career.

“We have a significant skills shortage across the country and here in Colorado,” Ziegler said.

“There has been a focus on fouryear degrees, to the detriment of skilled trades careers. A two-year associate’s degree in an automotive technician program can run around $14,000. Some schools even provide tools as part of tuition.”

U.S. scores above average in reading, science, lags in math

BY JEFF AMY ASSOCIATED PRESS

COUPON EXPIRES 12/12/19

American students may not be reading any better, but they’re moving up in rankings of educational achievement worldwide because many of their peers in other countries are performing worse.

And while their math performance may not be declining, 15-year-olds in the United States still lag behind the scores of their peers in dozens of other countries.

Overall, the latest global snapshot of achievement shows American students scoring above average in reading and science, but below average in math.

The 2018 Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, shows several Asian school systems at the top. The best-performing across all three measures was a group of four Chinese provinces — Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. PISA seeks to test not only what students know, but whether they can apply that knowledge to solve problems.

About 600,000 15-year-old students in nearly 80 nations and educational

CCM 12-12-19

systems took part in the two-hour computer-based test last year. The test is based on a 1,000-point scale.

Among the findings:  In reading, the U.S. average score was 505, above the international average of 487.  In math, the U.S. average score was 478, below the international average of 489.  In science, the U.S. average score was 502, above the international average of 489.

Average U.S. scores didn’t change significantly in any of those subjects since 2015. Average U.S. scores are also basically unchanged since when the test was first given in 2000 for reading and in 2003 for math. American science scores are up since 2006, thanks to improvements in earlier years.

Across the globe, American students were significantly outperformed by their counterparts in eight jurisdictions in reading, by 30 jurisdictions in math and by 11 jurisdictions in math.

U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said in a statement that students need “the freedom to pursue different options and a more personalized educational experience.” She has been promoting proposals for federal tax credits for donations made to groups offering scholarships for private schools, apprenticeships, school vouchers and greater reliance on privately run charter schools.

“The bottom line is there has not been a single study that shows American education is improving enough,” DeVos said. “Scores have flatlined for a decade. Worse yet, scores for our most vulnerable students continue to decline.”

Peggy Carr, the associate commissioner for the National Center for Education Statistics, told reporters on Dec. 2 that the U.S., by holding steady in reading scores, rose in comparison with other countries.

“It’s not exactly the way you want to improve your ranking, but nevertheless our ranking is improved,” Carr said. However, she noted the U.S. is “clearly struggling” in math.

Like recent results on another major nationwide test — the National Assessment of Educational Progress — U.S. results showed the highest performing students were doing better in reading and math, while lower-performing students didn’t improve.

“It’s another red flag that this is something to think about,” Carr said.

Tom Loveless, an educational researcher near Sacramento, California, said the Chinese provinces that were tested saw a substantial increase in their scores. It’s not clear that that group of students is representative of China at large, with Carr repeatedly telling reporters on Dec. 2 that the four large cities are more affluent than China as a whole. The Chinese region displaced the 2015

15-year-old students across 80 countries take PISA exam

frontrunner, the Asian city-state of Singapore.

“It’s the only country where they allow the national government to select the provinces that are tested,” Loveless said. “It still makes it very difficult to interpret the Chinese scores.”

Loveless describes the United States’ overall performance as mediocre.

“The U.S. is basically doing what it’s done since PISA started, which is hanging around the middle of the pack,” Loveless said.

Others, though, are deeply concerned about U.S. scores, especially in math. Marc Tucker, the founder of the National Center on Education and the Economy, said the United States must improve if it is to remain economically competitive with China.

“China is now poised to overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest economy. It is hard to see how the United States can compete with a far larger country that has a much better educated workforce that charges much less than we do for labor,” Tucker said.

A mixture of multiple-choice and open-ended questions, the test is coordinated every three years by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. Schools in each country are randomly selected, and OECD says the selection of schools is kept as inclusive as possible so that student samples are drawn from a broad range of backgrounds and abilities.

Brewer creates beer in honor of STEM victim ‘Kendrick’s Ale: Remember a Hero’ benefited teen’s robotics club

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Kendrick Castillo used to hang around his dad’s homebrewing friends, he made quite an impression.

When one friend, who now owns Strange Craft Beer Company in Denver, learned of the 18-year-old’s death, he decided to make a beer in his honor.

“Kendrick was obviously an amazing young man,” owner Tim Myers said.

Sales of the beer, called “Kendrick’s Ale: Remember a Hero” benefited the robotics club that Kendrick was a member of.

Kendrick was killed during the May 7 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. He was fatally shot while rushing one of the two alleged gunmen. Eight other people were injured in the attack.

Myers got to know John and

Maria Castillo in the early 2000s through a group of homebrewing friends.

“We all just randomly got together on occasional Saturdays and we’d taste what we’d brewed last time and make new beers,” he said.

Myer’s son and Kendrick used to play together, he said.

“We’re trying to remember an amazing young man and try to turn an unfortunate, horrible negative into something positive,” he said. “And hopefully help the healing process for John and Maria.”

The brewery hosted an event and candlelight vigil to sell the beer Nov. 15.

“That was amazing,” Myers said. “It was nonstop from when we opened at noon until things calmed down at 10…A lot of people came to support Kendrick and his parents.”

During the vigil, John Castillo and others shared memories of Kendrick, he said.

The hefeweizen, wheat-style beer was made with orange peel and Colorado honey, to make it bittersweet, Myers said.

“Because we’re remembering an amazing young man,” he said. “But (we’re) also remembering a tragedy.”

The owner of Strange Craft Beer Company in Denver decided to create a beer in honor of Kendrick Castillo, who was killed in the May 7 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. The brewery also created a custom label for the beer, called “Kendrick’s Ale: Remember a Hero.”

of having to go to one place for lights and another place for train rides. You do it all here and do it all together and have a blast doing it,” said Lindsay Peterson, open space activities supervisor for the City of Englewood.

The train operates from Memorial Day until Labor Day, and each year, the train has around 60,000 people board it.

“It’s really cool that the city organizes it. It’s a really sweet atmo-

sphere, and our boy is in love with trains,” said Englewood resident Levi Jacobs, who has a 2-year-old son.

“Having a train option in the winter is pretty cool, because we rode it a ton in the summer.”

Previously, Englewood did a breakfast with Santa event at the Malley Recreation Center, but it decided to create the Holiday Express event to provide something new and exciting and to utilize the train, Peterson said.

“We were excited to see Santa, to ride the train and the s’mores are a bonus. It’s to get into the holiday spirit,” said Centennial citizen Brittany Norris. She brought her 18-month-old twins to the event.

The department plans to use funds from the Arapahoe E911 Emergency Communications Service Authority — an entity that funds purchases and maintenance for the E-911 network for emergency communications services — to cover the cost of encrypting its radio channels. The Arapahoe E911 Emergency Communications Service Authority covers all of Arapahoe County except Aurora.

“Law enforcement agencies throughout the state are encrypting radio traffic for a variety of reasons: tactical officer movements, call for service locations and call type (medical issues, emergency mental health commitments, etc…), private personal information, victim’s rights privacy concerns, and other issues,” the letter says.

Some worry about the trend of police departments opting for radio encryption, including Jeff Roberts, the executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.

Members of the media have used police radio scanners for decades as a tool to monitor police departments.

“If the news media, which is the eyes and ears of the public, can’t listen into the police radios, there is no way they can know in real time what is happening in their communities in order to tell the public

about it. They have to rely on the police agencies to be the source of the information,” said Roberts.

“That can be problematic, because the police agencies may decide to wait a day or two to put information out or just put out some of the information.”

In 2018, state Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, R-Highlands Ranch, introduced a bill that would have required police departments to broadcast their dispatch radio communications without encryption, unless under certain exceptions, died.

Other police agencies across the state have opted for encrypting their radio channels, including Denver, Littleton, Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree and more.

It is unknown when Englewood Police plan to encrypt their radio channels, according to Chad Read, a spokesman for the department.

The department was reached out to for an interview for this story but referred to Fender’s letter for comment.

Jill Farschman, CEO of the Colorado Press Association, said police radio scanners are a necessary tool for journalists to have, particularly in a controversial issue. She says that’s because journalists don’t have any particular position or legal liability to protect.

“Our position is that it certainly isn’t helpful to public safety or transparency for people to get information from public information officers with conflicts of interest instead of journalists,” said Farschman.

Podcast tells stories of local emergency responders Show’s goal is to connect people to resources surrounding mental wellness

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Chris Macklin left the scene of the Columbine High School shootings in 1999, all he wanted to do was talk with his peers about what they’d just experienced.

Macklin, a Denver paramedic at the time, was 28 and had no way to know what he would see when he walked into the school library that morning.

“The most difficult thing wasn’t the work there. It was what happened after,” Macklin said.

Macklin felt frustrated by the program in place at the time to help emergency responders deal with the trauma stemming from such an event.

He wasn’t given a chance to be around peers and he wasn’t told how to cope in the following days, he said.

“And then I did everything wrong,” he said. “I went home and I had a few drinks and I watched the news all night.”

This experience led Macklin in 2012 to take over the peer support team and wellness program of South Metro Fire

Chris Macklin spoke about his experience responding to the 1999 Columbine shooting in a new podcast for emergency responders called “Everyday Brave.”

Macklin now coordinates a peer support and wellness program for South Metro Fire Rescue.

COURTESY PHOTO Rescue, he said.

“How do we make sure what happened to me doesn’t happen to other people?” he said.

Macklin, along with two other Douglas County emergency responders, spoke about their experiences with trauma and mental wellness for a new podcast called “Everyday Brave.”

A nonprofit called The Connection Project is producing the podcast, which will have 12 episodes. All available episodes, which also will include conversations with Arapahoe County responders, are online at realpeople-

reallife.org/everydaybrave and new episodes will be added once a week through January.

Jason Hopcus, the nonprofit’s founder, started the group to create connections and foster communication between people. Hopcus is also the CEO of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, which is a partner in the project. Hopcus began the podcast because of the struggles facing the responder community specifically, he said.

“I think they need the support,” he said.

The goal of the show is to connect responders with resources that can help them, he said.

Macklin, for instance, spoke about how his 32-member peer support team works.

When responders are sent on a difficult assignment, trained members

of the peer support team check in on them. They’re also available to talk confidentially if needed, he said.

“The first line of defense is peer-topeer counseling or venting,” Macklin said.

Two things the team has focused on are normalizing people’s stress responses and encouraging them to give firsthand testimonies of their experience.

“That would be my advice,” Macklin said. “Be willing to recognize that your response is normal no matter what it is.”

And so far, it looks like it’s helping, Macklin said.

“More men and women are willing to tell people how they’re feeling after a call,” he said.

Macklin’s episode will be available in early December, Hopcus said.

VOICES

Relentless barking is the sound of entitled thinking elcome to the neighborhood, but your dog has been barking for two hours — and it’s not the

first time.

Welcome to the neighborhood, but your dog has been barking for two hours — and it’s not QUIET the first time.

Welcome to the DESPERATION neighborhood, but your dog has been barking for two hours — and it’s not the first time.

Gets annoying doesn’t it?

I haven’t met you, but I have met your dog, at least audibly.

Craig Marshall I can see him over the fence. I think it’s Smith a Doberman pinscher, and it might be the one Sherlock Holmes has been looking for.

Harry could fit in your dog’s back pocket.

The cadence of a dog’s barking that

goes on for two hours or more is, at the very least, unpleasant.

It can exceed unpleasant and become angering.

Dogs bark. Faucets drip. Car alarms go off.

Know someone who clicks their pen? Makes loud noises when they eat? Cracks their gum?

“Smith, why not get ear plugs?”

Then I wouldn’t be able to hear music.

“Smith, why not try headphones as a way to listen to music in your home?”

Because I don’t want to.

The offending dog is two yards away. A neighbor four yards away has complained.

I don’t want to become too philosophical about this and suggest it’s a case of 21st-century, take me or leave me entitlement.

Namely: I will do what I want to do and so will my dog.

Try listening to Mozart’s “Jupiter Symphony” with a pinscher’s deep voice intermittently adding punctuation.

I have looked into purchasing a lighthouse. There are some available online that are no longer in use as lighthouses.

I could gaze out at a body of water, and be at some distance from immediate neighbors. But there would be something: hunting season or lumberjack school.

An elderly friend of mine solved the problem by going deaf.

Beethoven lost 60% of his hearing by the age of 31 (1801), and was completely deaf by the age of 46 (1816). He continued to write music.

I work at home, which makes the barking pinscher story even sadder.

It breaks my concentration, and I’m likely to slip from active voice to passive voice without even knowing it.

“Smith, why don’t you soundproof your house?”

There’s an idea. I’m sure it would do the trick and not cost more than thousands of dollars, and covering those costs on a pension would be a snap.

There have been instances of neighbors fighting fire with fire.

All it would take is a recording of a barking pinscher blared from my backyard.

I don’t think Mr. Rogers would go for it. Maybe you have seen the ads for the new Tom Hanks movie, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood?”

Rogers was born Fred McFeely Rogers in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. I don’t know for sure what he would have to say about this, but I think he’d want me to be tactful, be patient, and maybe even try to speak with the pinscher’s owner.

If I have something to say to neighbors, I don’t knock on doors. I respect privacy. Instead I send comments by post. Is it neighborly? Probably not the Mr. Rogers way.

I don’t live in his world.

I live in one where neighbors come and go and behavior often lacks mindful attention.

Do you want better results? Try examining four words

D

o you want better results? For most of us, the answer is yes.

We want better results in one or more areas of our personal lives or in our business. As a matter of fact, when I have asked people what achieving “better” results means for them, I typically hear words like improve, increase, expand, WINNING and reduce. Not sure WORDS about you, but when I think about getting better results, those words make sense to me too.

The next question I ask is where it gets interesting and a little harder for some people to find an answer. The question Michael Norton is this, “What will you do differently to achieve better results?” Think about that question for just a moment with me and why it gets a little tricky sometimes. Just look at a few of the words in the sentence, and you might be able to see where we can get stuck. “Will.”

A publication of

750 W. Hampden Ave., Suite 225 Englewood, CO 80110 Phone: 303-566-4100 Web: EnglewoodHerald.net To subscribe call 303-566-4100

“You.” “Do.” “Differently.”

When I ask someone what they “will” do, I am not asking what they would do, could do, or should do, I am asking them specifically what they “will” do differently that will help them achieve better results. Have you ever found yourself in the woulda, coulda, shoulda trap? We all have at some point, I’m sure, and if only we focused on that one little word, “will,” we can improve and increase our likelihood of success and absolutely reduce the chances of our failure.

The next word to pay attention to in the question is “You.” I don’t ask them what their friend will do, or their associate will do differently, I ask each person a very precise question, what will “you” do differently to realize better results? We can always use help from co-workers, friends, and trusted advisors, however there is an old saying that is just as true today as it was yesterday, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” If improved, increased, and expanded results are eluding you, apply some pressure on what “you” can do differently to achieve those better results.

Planning is critically important, but planning will only get us so far. At some point we must deliver, execute, and get the job done. I do not ask them what they are going to do, or what they have done in the past.

Instead, I ask everyone what they intend to “do” differently in order to exceed their expectations around the results they desire and goals they have set for themselves or their business. The greatest opportunity for achieving better results is found in the “do” of our doing, no excuses, just “do.”

Whatever our interests might be, like increasing our finances, getting in better physical condition, breaking a bad habit, building better relationships, expanding a business, growing deeper in our faith, or any other better result we are pursuing, we must be willing to go about it “differently.”

Some of us still end up doing what we have always done, because that’s the way we have always done it. We do the same thing over and over again, and yet we expect to see different or improved results. Some have said that this is the definition of insanity.

Another definition might identify it as our comfort zone. If we are looking for better results, let’s look to break out of that comfort zone.

“What will you do differently to achieve better results?” Try answering the question while focusing on these four words, “will, you, do, and differently.” Confidently own and commit to your answer, decisions, direction, and execution. And when you do, I have no doubt that you will be realizing better results today and in all your tomorrows yet to come.

How about you? Are you looking for better results of some kind? Do you consistently break through your comfort zone to achieve higher levels of success?

Mental Health Colorado promotes Miami approach Diversion initiative cuts jail numbers, targets care to those in need STAFF REPORT

Mental Health Colorado, the state’s leading mental health advocacy organization, is looking at Miami as a model for keeping individuals with mental illnesses out of jail so they can get the care they need.

Under its diversion initiative, Miami-Dade County closed a jail facility — saving taxpayers $12 million per year — and dramatically reduced the number of shootings and injuries of people with mental illnesses, according to a news release.

“We shouldn’t be building larger jails — we should be aiming to close overcrowded and outdated jails and replace them with effective systems of care,” Mental Health Colorado President and CEO Vincent Atchity said in the release. “As Miami has proven, providing access to effective care for people will yield better public safety and better public health outcomes than our current failed system of endlessly cycling people through criminal courts, jails and prisons.”

Atchity has spent four years working to keep Colorado leaders and decision-makers focused on the intersection of mental health and the crim-

inal justice system, with the aim of reducing the incarceration of people with unmet mental health needs. On average, people with mental illnesses are incarcerated four to eight times longer than those without a mental illness, costing seven times more.

Since Miami-Dade County launched its diversion initiative in 2000, 6,500 law enforcement officers have received crisis intervention training.

In nine years, the Miami-Dade Police Department and the City of Miami Police Department have responded to nearly 72,000 mental health crisis calls — resulting in 38,000 diversions to crisis units and just 138 arrests, the release said.

Atchity plans to meet with Florida Judge Steve Leifman, who helped launch Miami-Dade County’s initiative. Like most jails in the U.S., MiamiDade County had a high prevalence of inmates with unmet mental health needs. Leifman was frustrated by how many people with mental illnesses kept repeatedly cycling through his court.

“We’ve truly seen a cultural shift in how the community addresses mental illness,” Leifman said in the release.

“Police injuries have gone down almost 100%, people are getting better access to care, family members of people with a mental illness are no longer afraid to call the police, and everybody is working much more cohesively and collaboratively.”

Last year, Denver passed Caring4Denver, a ballot measure that will

‘We’ve truly seen a cultural shift in how the community addresses mental illness.’

Steve Leifman, Florida judge who helped launch Miami-Dade County’s initiative distribute more than $35 million per year to support mental health.

Atchity has arranged for staff from Caring4Denver to meet with Leifman and learn about Miami’s’ diversion initiative. Atchity hopes the meeting

will influence the way Caring4Denver spends its money.

“There are other effective models for diversion around the country—in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, San Antonio. Denver and other Colorado communities can learn from each of these,” Atchity said in the release.

“But the Miami model stands out on account of Judge Leifman’s great leadership, and on account of the pathway the model offers for Colorado to address the competency restoration backlog, which costs the state $10 million in fines for failing to address civil rights violations and the terms of a federal consent decree.”

Leifman also plays a key leadership role in a national workgroup Atchity started in partnership with The Equitas Project and the David and Laura Merage Foundation to draft model laws to effectively decriminalize mental health.

Denver museum exhibit takes visitors into world of athletic thrills

IF YOU GO WHAT: Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits WHERE: Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver WHEN: Through April 12; open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

ADMISSION: Online at dmns.org/visit/ pricing-and-discounts/ or at the museum.

W

hen Andrew Fraser was a boy growing up in Littleton, he knew he wanted to fly. Not only would he daydream of gliding through the sky, but at night, he would have active lucid dreams about flying.

He was finally able to realize his dreams of flying after skydiving 200 times — the number of times required by the United States Parachute Association to fly in a wingsuit, which is a one-piece article of clothing that allows a person to glide through the air while freefalling.

The art of wingsuit flying isn’t the province of reckless people on the fringe of society, Fraser says, despite the fact that he jumps from high in the sky to the ground.

Instead, it’s done by extreme sport athletes who are thoughtful, calculated and grounded individuals.

“While it does require a degree of athleticism, strength and bal-

Mia Rios tests her kinesthetic sense at the exhibit. The temporary exhibit comes from Science North, a museum in Ontario, Canada. It’s on display until April 12 of next year at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

JOSEPH RIOS ance, it requires a mental fortitude and practice of regulating anxiety, fear and the nervous system. It’s an escape from the daily (life) of work relationships, paying bills, etc.,”

said Fraser. “It’s what many describe as a flow state, that feeling of being totally present in the moment and really in the state of total connection with my surroundings.”

Like Fraser’s hobby, other extreme sports such as parkour, free soloing and snowboarding take a dedicated amount of training and practice to accomplish. At the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the “Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits” exhibit gives visitors a chance to learn about those sports and to explore the psychology, physicality and physiology of extreme sport athletes.

The exhibit is interactive and gives visitors plenty of ways to experience extreme sports like virtually jumping off a cliff, completing a course developed by the American Ninja Warriors at Ninja Nation, seeing what it’s like to be in charge

of a wingsuit — and going into the exhibit’s Immersion Room, where visitors can experience what it’s like to ride a mountain bike through a Utah desert, kayak on whitewater and more.

The temporary exhibit, which comes from the Canadian museum Science North, located near Sudbury in northern Ontario, includes a touch of Colorado spirit by featuring stories about Colorado athletes like Fraser; Maureen Beck, an ice and rock climber who was born without a left hand; and others.

“We have a really fascinating exhibit that tells stories of real people who are some of the world’s most amazing athletes. At the same time, there’s access for people of every age where they can come in here and find something to do that fits their physical and intellectual levels,” said Tim Blesse, teacher professional development coordinator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “It’s a great time out for the whole family.”

Other features of the exhibit include quizzes that help you see how gutsy you are to perform the activities extreme athletes do and videos that show visitors what is going through an athlete’s mind while they perform their extreme sport.

The exhibit is open until April 12, 2020 and is free with general museum admission.

“The most compelling thing is it has me think about challenge in new ways, how to incorporate more challenge and think about challenge in my everyday life. The exhibition just does a good job of exploring challenge and how to do it,” said Jodi Schoemer, director of experiences and partnerships at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “By seeing it, I feel like a more empowered individual.”

Paintings, photos bring outdoors indoors ‘Near and Far’ show is celebration of scenery

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One walks into the exhibit room at Bemis Library in Littleton and breathing immediately gets easier.

Blue skies, green trees, fresh air and sounds of nature surround a viewer of “Near and Far,” an exhibit of plein air paintings by Highlands Ranch artist Julia Grundmeier and photographic images by Carl Paulson, who says his experience as an Alaskan native for his first 18 years gives him a special view of nature.

Grundmeier is a retired teacher, after 21 years at Homestead Elementary School in the Cherry Creek School District. She started after her 1999 retirement with classes at the Art Students League of Denver, plus a number of painting workshops with “wonderful instructors,” and loves to paint outdoors whenever she can, including traveling with friends to paint. “There’s nothing like being on the edge of the canyon,” she observed.

Note her “Highlands Ranch Evening” with an “amazing sky over the foothills.” She has fond memories of painting in Kawaneechi Valley in Rocky Mountain National Park,

where a mama moose eyed her while she recorded its world.

And, look at: “Mabel’s Dovecoats”

by Paulson, shot at Mabel Dodge Luhan’s home in New Mexico — or his “Delusions of Grandeur” — a young ram in a Western landscape … or “High Alert” — a mama bear and cubs, alarmed that a male bear is nearby, a threat to the young creatures.

Both artists are active members of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, which operates the Depot Art Gallery. She is membership chairman, he is treasurer and both exhibit their artwork there. “People don’t know we’re here,” Paulson commented about the historic red Santa Fe Depot with about 60 Guild members.

Paulson, a native of Alaska, is a petroleum engineer, who learned that exhibit spots at the library are available and invited Grundmeier to join him for this exhibit.

He talks about going for a drive anywhere after work and finding new places to hike and capture with his camera, as well as trips back to Alaska, where he spent his first 18 years and returned to record many images of brown bears — relatives of the grizzly.

Grundmeier loves to take her easel, palette and paints outside — “working on location helps me to capture the play of light, atmosphere and true color of a moment in time.

Glam holiday decor gets the party started Throwback look is trend for those seeking break from tradition

BY KIM COOK ASSOCIATED PRESS

Had enough of all that serene winter wonderland decor, the birch trees and reindeer and sleighs? Ready to change it up this year and boogie down?

Then consider digging out the legwarmers and Donna Summer CDs before you start decorating.

British retailer John Lewis , known for Christmas decor and evocative holiday commercials, has declared “Party” to be one of the big themes for 2019. Flamingo, cassette tape and balloon animal ornaments join holographic ribbon bows and sequined tassels in their collection.

Home Depot’s trend and design director Sarah Fishburne sees the look as a twist on vintage holiday decor.

“Christmas is about embracing the over-the-top, and no other era says over the top like the ‘80s,” she says.

“We’re seeing a resurgence of flocked trees and larger, multi-color light strands. To incorporate the iconic retro vibe, think about a bright, rainbow palette and layering metallics across ornaments, trees and tabletop decor.”

Etsy’s trend expert Dayna Isom

Johnson echoes the call for color: “One of the biggest trends on the rise is using neon tones to deck the halls, a bright look inspired by city lights and billboards.”

What’s great about the glam look is that you can have fun decorating with it regardless of how you celebrate the season. Just bear in mind that you’re aiming for Dance Floor rather than North Pole, so forgo any rustic cabins or woodsy red-andgreen plaids.

Home Depot’s twinkly 600-light, 7.5-foot-tall Swiss Mountain tree lets you use an app to program whatever colored-light gymnastics you’d like.

And for the front of the house, there are multicolored laser lights that project eight holographic moving patterns like swirls, fireflies and starbursts.

Turn a traditional green tree into a playful decorative element by adding several strings of hot pink or purple lights; Walmart and Target have options in mini and regular sizes.

For a small living space or entryway, check out West Elm’s slim pop-up cone tree, which is enrobed in silver tinsel and trimmed with multicolored metallic dots. If you’ve got a little more room, go with one of their bushy gold or blush pink tinsel trees.

You’ll find pretty glitter-encrusted, mirrored glass, and gilded-beads ball ornaments here, as well as glass rainbow and confetti balls.

Target has mini champagne bottle and glass ornaments to set the festive

tone. And there are boxed sets of mirrored glass disco-ball ornaments in loads of colors.

Feeling crafty? Consider making your own party tree by hot-gluing those shiny ornaments onto a treeshaped wire frame, available at big-box craft stores. Or make a jazzy wreath out of them, using a circular wire frame. String mini versions onto satin ribbons, or use sparkly black ornaments on hot pink, lime or candy-red ribbon.

Neon-bright paper, felt and crocheted ornaments and garlands can be found on Etsy.com.

At Pier 1, there are sparkly teal, champagne or pink glitter-encrusted curly picks and red faux-fur pompon picks — party favors for the tree.

Also here, pretty pink flamingo ornaments with glitter-encrusted beaks and real feather wings. And at White Company, there are snowy, whitefeathered bauble ornaments.

Cassette tape and retro cell phone ornaments can be found at the Ornament Shop, and personalized if desired.

Smoked-glass balls filled with dark sequins, inky wood garlands, cheetah- and leopard-print ornaments, and glass balls that look like black marble all add evening drama to CB2’s holiday collection.

Dress up the base of your tree in Horchow’s satiny pink faux-jewelencrusted tree skirt, or perhaps a ruffled, multicolored one that seems to say, “You should be dancing.”

PODCAST FROM PAGE 9

Dan Brite, the wellness coordinator for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, was featured in the first episode of the podcast.

Brite was shot in the line of duty in 2016 and nearly died. Afterward, he realized the importance of speaking up about mental health, he said in the episode.

“That was my breaking point,” he said. “I needed help. I had depression, I had suicidal thoughts. I was traveling down that road of just being bitter and angry toward anyone and everything.”

In his episode, Brite encourages responders to check in with a psychologist once in a while.

“The amount of things we deal with in this profession, it’s not normal for a human being to experience that much trauma and sadness and loss and violence,” he said. “It takes a toll.”

Brite also points out that there are nearly 190 critical incidents in a typical first responders’ career.

“Every one of those is an opportunity for PTSD, depression and unhealthy coping mechanisms to start to work into their lives,” he said.

The third responder featured in the podcast is Ben O’Brien, a fire responder for SMFR. O’Brien supports the wellness programs and promotes mindfulness practices and skills to support responders, Hopcus said.

His episode will come out at the beginning of December.

December 12, 2019 Grizzly bears no longer inhabit the wild in Colorado, but 10 of them were recently brought to the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg.

SHUTTERSTOCK PHOTO

Grizzly bears relocated from Argentina to Colorado ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ten grizzly bears from a zoo in Argentina are adjusting to their new home at Colorado’s Wild Animal Sanctuary.

The bruins were flown from Argentina to Dallas then driven to Keenesburg, north of Denver, in late November.

After an adjustment period, sanctuary officials plan to move the bears to a 50-acre habitat near Springfield.

Wildlife Animal Sanctuary direc-

tor Pat Craig tells Colorado Public Radio that the sanctuary is the next best thing to living in the wild.

The bears come from the Mendoza Zoological Park in the Mendoza Province near the Chilean border.

The zoo was the subject of protests for housing a polar bear that died in 2016.

Craig says the grizzlies mostly lived in cages and concrete surfaces.

He says one was kept in a concrete pit for almost 19 years because he once escaped.
