In a packed courtroom on Friday, Aug. 29, Kenneth Hosch, 83, of Golden, was sentenced to six years in community corrections for the death of sergeant David Baldwin after a devastating impact on Highway 93 earlier this year.

Family and friends of Baldwin included many officers from the sheriff’s office as well as from neighboring police departments such as Lakewood and Arvada.

Attorney’s at the Jeffco District Attorney’s Office requested for a six-year sentence to be carried out in the department of corrections but district court judge Margie Enquist placed Hosch in community corrections in order for him to continue

Planes of public art — Fed Center prepares first display

By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com Public art is often the best way for people to interact with art in a new and interesting way, and that interaction is the goal of the Federal Center’s first art display.

The GSA (US General Services Administration) commissioned a work by artist Andrea Zittel as part of the Art in Architecture Program in support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act at the Federal Center. GSA allocated one-half of one percent of each public building’s construction cost for the design, fabrication and installation of the site-specific, permanent piece of artwork. In total the work cost $649,000.

“We work on a long schedule and have been on this for around three years,” said Janet Paladino, regional fine arts program manager. “We wanted something that everybody at the center could interact in and really tap into the social aspect of art.”

Zittel’s work, which is set up along Main and 4th Street, is a series a series of eight identical platforms — each platform consists of both vertical and horizontal panels and have an area that resembles an open room and a wooden surface that references a wrap-around desk.

According to information provided

by Sally Mayberry, regional public affairs officer, the structures serve as both abstract sculpture and a human environment that can be used in different ways,

‘I can only hope and

Work began on Andrea Zittel’s art display at the Federal Center in May and will be officially unveiled on Sept. 15. like gathering with friends or having a bite to eat.

“We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries from employees and visitors as the structures have been coming up over the summer,” Paladino said. “It’s been really fun to watch this pieces emerging from the ground.”

Zittel was chosen by a selection panel that was looking for a different way to create social space on the campus.

According to information provided by Mayberry, the panel wanted an artist “who could help activate and engage the campus, its employees and patrons in a new and artistic way. Zittel is using local businesses for purchasing materials such as the concrete, wood, and metal.”

In a submitted artist statement, Zittel said the structures revolve around a free-standing architectural structure composed of rectangular planes. Varied

in texture and colour, these surfaces function — like proverbial ‘blank canvases’ — as open-ended and amorphous sites. While interlocking physically, they also slip between myriad associations and resonances.

Since re-launching in 1972, GSA commissioned 408 artworks through the Art in Architecture Program, approximately 35 of which are displayed in GSA’s Rocky Mountain six-state region.

“We always want to see more art on our campuses,” Paladino said. “We’re hoping people who see this exhibit will not look at just as art but as a way to engage with art and each other in a new place.”

There will be an unveiling event for the work at 1 p.m. on Sept. 15. For more information on the Art in Architecture program, visit www.gsa.gov/portal/category/103335.

Performance means everything.

At least, in terms of teacher compensation for the Jefferson County Board of Education.

During the Aug. 28 board of education meeting, the board voted (3-2) to reject the fact-finding recommendations regarding negotiations with the district’s teachers association, the Jefferson County Educators Association (JCEA), proposing new compensation scale.

“Focus on the goal,” said Board President Ken Witt during the meeting. “The goal is to have an effective teacher in every classroom, to align the evaluation system and align compensation. Teachers should be rewarded for being effective and not ineffective.”

Following a month of hearings with both sides, the fact finder found the district’s evaluation system was flawed, and recommended (www.jeffcopublicschools. org/human_resources/negotiations/Jeffco_fact_finding_report.pdf) teachers rated as “partially effective” should receive an increase in the 2014-2015 school year, but not receive the increases available to effective or highly effective teachers in the following school year, as long as an improvements are made to the current evaluation in place.

“Given the lack of reliability of the current evaluation system, however, it cannot be said that teachers who are rated as ‘partially effective’ are, in fact, not effective,” the report read. “A more rigorous and valid evaluation process is required before it can be concluded that granting a step increase to teachers rated as partially effective equates with placing ineffective teachers in classrooms or rewarding ineffective teachers.”

This was not accepted by the board majority, who remained firm on having compensation for only effective and highly effective-rated teachers. While consensus was felt among the board to adhere to its goal of having an effective teacher in every classroom, the majority felt the fact finder’s Document continues on Page 12

The story of rest is the rest of the story It’s 7:20 p.m. and Sean is bent over physics homework, graphs that show position and velocity in relation to time.

Motion maps.

The work isn’t particularly difficult for him. The challenge is staying focused.

“The more I think,” he says, “the more irritated I feel.”

Sean is my 17-year-old son. He’s a high school senior and a good student.

But he’s tired.

If you ask him what he looks forward to on weekends, he’ll give you the same answer many teens do: Sleeping.

No wonder.

Instead of the eight-and-a-half to nineand-a-half hours of sleep research has found teens need to perform at their best, Sean averages six to seven each night.

Even though he sometimes slips into bed at 9:30 or 10, he usually can’t fall asleep until 11, and he’s at school most mornings by 5:45 for weight sessions with his baseball team. Classes begin at 7:35.

We are a tired country.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called insufficient sleep a public health epidemic, noting in a 2009 study almost 38 percent of adults had unintentionally fallen asleep during the day at least once in the preceding month and nearly 5 percent had fallen asleep while driving at least once during the same time period.

Scary. But not surprising.

Like the one-third of adults in the study, I, too, consistently sleep less than the recommended seven hours a day and often find myself longing for just a few minutes in which to rest my eyes.

The real calamity, though, is the sleep deprivation of our teenage children, who as a generation are losing the opportunity to achieve their highest potential, simply because they don’t have the few more hours needed to recharge.

“Sleep is absolutely vital, not just from

a physical standpoint, but from a mental, emotional and cognitive standpoint,” says Steve Portenga, a performance psychologist who teaches at the University of Denver and helps athletes, surgeons and others in high-risk occupations perform consistently at their highest levels.

A key element to that formula is sleep.

Sean would agree.

On days when he’s tired, “it’s hard to focus. I just catch myself spacing,” he says. But when he feels rested, “it’s easier to participate in class — you feel more in it. It’s easier to comprehend and retain information … I’m just more aware, in general.”

Portenga talks about two studies that directly link sleep to performance.

In the first, two groups of people were given 12 hours to solve a difficult problem.

One group received the problem in the morning, so didn’t sleep before resolving it that evening. The other group received it in the evening, so had the opportunity to sleep before coming up with an answer.

“Both had the same amount of time to solve it …” Portenga said, “but the ones who had a chance to sleep performed significantly better.”

In the second study, electrodes were connected to the brains of mice as they figured out a way through a maze. As the mice slept, researchers noted the same series of connections firing as had occurred when they navigated the maze. The mice were replaying their route; the brain was moving information from short-term to

long-term memory, which makes retrieving information easier down the road.

The study showed, Portenga says, that “for consolidating learning, sleep is a really vital process.”

With that knowledge in mind, the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the average American teen is “chronically sleep deprived and pathologically sleepy,” last week declared middle- and high-schoolers should begin their day at 8:30 a.m. at the earliest — essentially an hour later than most do now. Such a change would align with teens’ natural sleep cycles, which make it difficult for them — like Sean — to fall asleep before 11 p.m. And it would be key to helping “adolescents get the sleep they need to grow and learn.”

According to a National Sleep Foundation poll, 87 percent of high school students and 59 percent of sixth- through eighth-graders were sleeping less than the recommended eight-and-a-half to nineand-a-half hours a night. Reasons range from sports, after-school activities, jobs and homework to over-active technology use.

The academy’s policy statement noted lack of sleep in teens not only translates to a decrease in learning and poorer grades, but also to more physical and mental health problems and an increased risk of car accidents.

Scary. But not surprising.

Senior Craig Breuker can attest to the positive impact of a later starting time.

His first class this semester starts with second period, which means he begins classes at 8:30. The difference from previous years is stark.

“When I wake up, I just feel refreshed,” he says. “When I used to wake up at 6:30, I would always feel down and groggy. I haven’t had a morning where I feel like I want to go back to bed. When I get up, I’m ready for the day to start.”

He’s more focused. He has more energy later in the day. His eyes don’t get heavy.

An A and B student, Craig practices soccer after school until 5:15, then mows lawns until dusk, then finally heads home to do homework. If there’s time, he’ll watch some TV until turning off the lights at about 10:30.

Going to bed, he says, “is like a restart.”

But considering only 15 percent of our country’s high schools begin the day at 8:30 or later, Craig’s sense of rested wellbeing belongs to a minority of teens.

There is a long way to go.

School district schedules are built around a complexity of ingredients, from bus schedules to athletics to extracurricular activities, and a realignment of all those pieces would need buy-in from not only school officials, but also from parents and teens, themselves.

Until the paradigm shifts, until we are willing to take on the challenge — if we ever are — days for many teens will begin somewhat like this: 5 a.m. The first alarm goes off. Music blares. Sean reaches over and turns it off.

5:10 a.m. Music blares again. Unwilling to leave the warmth of his bed, Sean reaches over and sets a third alarm for 10 minutes later.

5:20 a.m. More music. Five more minutes tick by and his feet hit the floor. He throws on a T-shirt, some shorts, shoes.

Brushes his teeth. Washes his face.

He grabs a water bottle and heads out the door.

It is still dark, the notion of sleep already forgotten.

Annual LPD foundation fundraiser hits the links

For law enforcement officers that may be put in harms way in the line of duty, there are no mulligans.

Luckily for the employees of the Lakewood Police Department there were plenty of redo’s allowed on the Fox Hollow Golf Course last Friday as part of the Broken Club Classic. The sixth annual charity golf tournament raised funds for the Lakewood Police Employee Assistance Fund.

According to Dan McCaskey, the patrol division

chief with LPD and one of the tournament organizers, said the event attracts over 100 players, and raises nearly $10,000 a year.

“What we (LPEAF) do is offer assistance for employees or retired, or their family family facing emergencies or medical costs,” McCaskey said.

The 26 teams that competed in this year’s tournament, played 18 holes of golf, with prizes offered for top finishers. Participants included LPD’s own chief, along with several officers from surrounding agencies. The competition was followed by an auction and lunch.

Among the teams was the one sponsored by EF Johnson, a manufacturer of public safety radios.

“We sponsor every year, and provide lunch for everyone,” said EF Johnson

representative Dana Hansen.

Hansen, who said she was a former LPD employee herself (dispatch), said that the opportunity to help assist her former colleagues was meaningful to her.

“It’s a great day to spend with freinds, and catch up,” she said. “And it means something because LPEAF fills the gap for police officers and their familes in times of need.”

McCasky said that the foundation relies primarily on the money raised during the golf event, along with voluntary contributions from current employees.

He added, “Well, there was a cement pig some of the guys auctioned off for some money, just a bit ago, but that’s it.”

More information about LPEAF is available at lpeaf. org.

Overall school funding grows under new law

By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com As school starts, lawmakers are touting an education law passed this year that many believe will help students achieve greater success.

Earlier this year, the Legislature passed a pair of school funding measures that Gov. John Hickenlooper later signed into law to increase spending within the state’s school finance system by $500 million.

The money provides more funding for several areas of K-12 education, including school construc-

tion, preschool, kindergarten and English language learner programs.

The measures increase perpupil spending by about 5 percent and allow schools across the state to open up 5,000 more seats for preschool and full-day kindergarten.

An additional $3 million will fund financial transparency efforts that are aimed at allowing taxpayers to see how the new money is being reported and spent.

“It’s important to make sure we know where the money is going to these schools, and not seeing it go into a black hole somewhere,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch.

About $20 million goes into a program that helps third-graders read, while $53 million will be set aside for school construction — most of that coming in the form of Amendment 64-based retail marijuana revenue, which will help in the construction of schools in rural areas.

“These investments will not only pay dividends in individual lives, but will also help build a stronger economic foundation for Colorado,” said Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, who is the chairman of the Senate Education Committee.

Lawmakers also restored $110 million in education funding that

had been stripped as a result of recession-era budget cuts. Those “negative factor” cuts had slashed about $1 billion from the state’s K-12 budget.

Schools will also see an increase in the number of counselors at middle and high schools, in an effort to lower the current studentto-counselor ratio, which Senate Democrats say was at 400-1 prior to the legislation being passed.

“When students are focused on their studies and have a graduation plan, they excel,” said Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, who sponsored legislation to increase the number of guidance counselors.

JEFFCO BOARD OF EDUCATION ON THE RECORD The Jefferson County Board of Education discussed the following legislation during its Aug. 28 regular business meeting. Board members in attendance were President Ken Witt, First Vice President Julie Williams, Second Vice President Lesley Dahlkemper, Secretary John Newkirk and Treasurer Jill Fellman.

Fact Finding The board of education voted 3-2, (Witt, Williams, Newkirk) to reject the fact finding agreement in negotiations with the teachers union, Jefferson County Educators Association (JCEA).

Board president Witt proposed a new pay scale which would raise full-time

teacher’s base pay to $38,000, and giving a bonus or compensation increase to teachers rated as effective or highly effective in their most recent evaluation. With this move, the Chief Financial Officer, Lorie Gillis, and the human resources department will now recalculate the financial specifics to reflect how this scale would affect the district’s 5,000 educators. According to Gillis, this process is extensive and will take several weeks to calculate before presenting the data to the board. Any changes made would not go into effect until early October at the earliest.

State Education Funding The board unanimously voted to ac-

cept a resolution regarding state education funding.

The resolution asks the Colorado legislature to a sensible and constitutional school finance system, seeking any new funds be given to boards to help reduce the negative factor.

PARCC Testing The board voted 3-2 (Dahlkemper, Fellman, Witt) to table a resolution seeking the delay of implementation of Partnership for Academic Readiness for College and Careers testing and implementation of Common Core.

The board heard a presentation from Michael Brickman, a national policy direc-

Mascot bill would defer to Indian panels Proposal set for public meeting on Sept. 10

By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com The debate over the use of American Indian mascots will come to the state Capitol next year.

State Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, is expected to carry a bill that could result in schools losing their mascots — or even losing state funding.

And the effort is sure to result in a vibrant public meeting on Salazar’s bill, which is scheduled for Sept. 10.

Salazar said his bill would require schools that receive state funding and that wish to have Indian-themed mascots to first get the OK from representatives of American Indian communities.

Salazar said the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs could be in charge of making those decisions, or

perhaps another commission would be created by lawmakers, who return to the Capitol in January.

If schools don’t go before an Indian commission, Salazar said his legislation would still allow the schools to continue to use their mascots — but at a steep price.

“If they don’t want to reach out, they can use the mascot, but they don’t get state funding,” he said.

“They are able to exercise their First Amendment rights, but as a state we don’t have to participate in their discriminatory conduct.”

There is an ongoing national debate over the use of Indian-themed mascots, one that has centered on the NFL’s Washington Redskins.

Opponents of Washington’s mascot want it done away with because they feel it is a derogatory term that is akin to any other racial slur. The debate has led some NFL announcers and news organizations to move away from using the term “Redskins.”

Others blast the movement as po-

litical correctness gone too far and say that the mascots are not racist, but rather pay homage to American Indian culture and history.

“They don’t get to make that justification,” Salazar said of that argument.

“It’s the American Indian community that gets to decide if it’s racist to them.

They can’t just say, ‘I don’t think it’s racist, so it’s not racist.’ You don’t get to decide.”

The issue will be discussed at a public meeting that is scheduled to be held at the Denver Indian Family Resource Center, 4407 Morrison Road, from 4:30-7 p.m. on Sept. 10.

There, Salazar will also talk about another piece of legislation that is of interest to the American Indian community — his revival of a bill that would allow out-of-state American Indian students to attend Colorado colleges at in-state tuition rates, so long as they have ties to Colorado tribes.

That legislation died in a committee hearing earlier this year.

Mixed signals frustrate foes of death penalty Governor’s view on capital punishment was kept close to vest

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Key Democratic lawmakers were frustrated with Gov. John Hickenlooper’s guidance last year on a death penalty repeal bill and now feel that there was an opportunity lost, given that Hickenlooper’s stance against capital punishment is now known.

At the same time, Democrats believe that the governor’s “wrestling” on the issue was sincere and hold no resentment toward him for his limited involvement during the legislative process.

A sponsor of a bill that sought to end capital punishment in Colorado believes that the repeal effort would have passed had Hickenlooper come around on his anti-death penalty position sooner.

Hickenlooper — who had campaigned as a supporter of the death penalty in 2010 — acknowledged in an interview with KDVR-TV in August that his position has evolved over the years and that he now opposes capital punishment.

But Hickenlooper wasn’t prepared to talk about those views in 2013, when Democrats were crafting a death penalty repeal bill.

Former Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, a sponsor of the bill, said her effort was a “challenge” because of Hickenlooper’s lack of guidance on the legislation.

“It did it make it difficult for lawmakers who felt they may be vulnerable for repealing the death penalty; difficult to make to make a commitment to me knowing the bill could be vetoed,” Levy said.

Levy said she had several conversations with Hickenlooper about the bill, but it wasn’t until just before the legislation was up for a committee hearing that he suggested that might veto.

The bill died in the House Judiciary Committee on March 26, after the governor’s feelings on the legislation became known.

“If (Hickenlooper) had arrived at his position earlier, we would have all benefited because we would have known what to do,” said Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, the committee chairman who is against capital punishment. “He was wrestling, no question about it.”

The repeal bill had Republican support as well, with Adams County Rep. Kevin Priola’s name appearing on the legislation. Priola had hoped the bill would also spark a conversation on abortion, which he opposes.

Report “I wanted to have a discussion on state policy on the sanctity of life,” he said. “The state of Colorado needs to have a discussion of being pro-life in every way.”

With Priola’s support and the support of religious groups, Levy said she was optimistic about the bill’s chances of clearing the General Assembly, had Hickenlooper provided his support.

“We really did have a unique opportunity,” she said.

Capitol

that Dunlap — who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — will die in prison.

Even though Kagan would have liked to have seen Hickenlooper support last year’s death penalty repeal, he was OK with how the governor handled the Dunlap situation.

“I respect the position he arrived at in the end,” Kagan said. “He said he’s not going to decide for an entire state on this issue, instead he said, `I cannot, in good conscience, be the one to sign the death warrant.’”

But Republicans have blasted Hickenlooper over his evolution on the death penalty and for his “indecision and weak leadership” on the issue.

“On my watch, justice will carried out, the laws of the state of Colorado will be enforced and I will never turn my back on the victims,” said former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper in this fall’s gubernatorial election.

Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, a former House minority leader, said the death penalty is just one example where Hickenlooper has been hesitant to “weigh in on legislation unless he absolutely has to.”

“He never lets you know what his position is,” Waller said. “It’s like he lets the issue lead him.”

But Democrats, for all their frustrations, say Hickenlooper’s “thoughtful” approach to painful, moral decisions on issues like the death penalty is better than the alternative.

“When somebody is so completely glib and saying, `Oh, I would put someone to death if I were in charge,’ that reflects to me a lack of depth, a lack of appreciation of the enormity of the decision you’re making,” Levy said.

Kagan agrees.

“I will never knock a man who follows his conscience before taking a politically expedient position,” he said.

CNN interview surfaces

While there was frustration with Hickenlooper over his role in the death penalty repeal bill, Democrats say they respected the governor’s decision-making process.

“While I really wanted a firm yes or no, I understand completely why he was not able to do that for us,” Levy said. “And I think the reason he couldn’t is really what he’s been saying publicly all along and that he’s really been wrestling with this issue.”

The death penalty issue made headlines again recently after a newly surfaced CNN interview from November became public.

In the interview, Hickenlooper told a reporter that clemency for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap could still be on the table.

Hickenlooper granted Dunlap an indefinite reprieve in May 2013.

Hickenlooper’s campaign said that in the CNN interview, the governor was responding to a hypothetical question, and

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor CLARKE READER Community Editor

Proper peer pressure promotes performance Sometimes just the words “peer pressure” spark anxious, judgmental, and negative feelings. Especially when we attach verbs such as “succumbing to” or “giving in to” peer pressure.

And many times we direct our guidance of avoiding peer pressure to the young adults, teenagers and children in our lives. No doubt there are more temptations and access to trouble now than in any previous generation. So our advice and steering to avoid peer pressure has never been more valuable, as long as it doesn’t fall on deaf ears or comes across as, “Well when I was your age … ,” because that never goes well. Or if it sounds overplayed like, “If all of your friends jumped off of the top of the mountain would you follow too?” Yikes!

Avoiding peer pressure can be turned from a negative to a positive as we encourage those that look up to us with confidence boosters and nurturing self-esteem building words and actions. You know how it goes, when we tell or ask someone not to do something, especially our youth, what do they do? Exactly what we told them or asked them not to do. Having open dialogues can be revealing about previous errors in judgment or examples where peers may have misled us, or perhaps we were the peer misleading others.

As my friend Bert reminded me last week, sometimes when we think we are following, we could actually also be in a position of leading all of those who are following us too.

Another awesome and positive side of peer pressure is playing itself out right now before our very eyes, ears, and through our contributions. I am talking about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. If you haven’t seen this yet or heard of it, the challenge has gone absolutely viral.

People have been challenged to fill a bucket with water and ice and then dump the bucket over their head or have a family member or friend participate and tip the ice-filled bucket onto their head. Then each participant that has accepted the challenge gets to challenge others in their circle of friends, associates, or family to take the same challenge.

Now if they don’t take the challenge and want to avoid the fleeting moment of freezing water spilling over their head and body, they can elect to make a donation to ALS. And in some cases I know people that have done both, accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and also made a nice financial contribution to ALS. And it’s not just ALS, just look at all the fundraisers for breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, SMA, diabetes, and so many oth-

ers and include events like 5K runs, walks, auctions, golf tournaments where we sign up to sponsor runners, walkers, golfers, and place our names on those silent auction sheets, all for the greater good. And you know how it goes, sometimes we are on the fence of whether or not we will participate or sponsor someone, and then one of our friends, one of our peers does it and before we know it we have jumped in as well. And that is just incredible.

Peer pressure in business is also extremely positive. There is nothing better than some healthy and friendly competition. As a salesman I was always interested in how well my peers were doing. I used their productivity as a motivator to try and beat them the next day, week, or month.

And it went both ways, my lifelong friend and fellow salesman would always contact me just to see what I sold that day so we could compete the following day.

So the next time we feel like cringing when we hear the words “peer pressure,” just remember it can absolutely be leveraged as a positive influence in our lives and not always a negative. How about you? Have you had a positive experience with peer pressure? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we focus on the positive peer pressure in our lives it really will be a better than good week.

A book for my birthday Recently while traveling in Dublin, Ireland, I learned that James Joyce chose his birthday for the release of his novel “Finnegan’s Wake.”

“If James Joyce can use his birthday as a deadline, so can I!” Using a saddlebag full of my spotty logic I knew it was time to launch the book by my birthday in November. Yes, it will be a double celebration.

Books are not released these days they are “launched.” I’ve worked on my book over a year, a patchwork memoir originally composed of my best personal columns from the last 40 years that tell stories about my life. But then I added new stories about my life before I settled down to writing columns. I wrote about my exciting teenage years competing in rodeos because that is when my adrenalin was flowing at its highest.

I couldn’t leave out the part about working in Hollywood in the film business and encountering movie stars like Warren Beatty, George C. Scott, Clint Eastwood — on movie sets or in their homes. Aha!

writing about them — great experiences a young woman in her twenties and grist for this writer finishing a memoir. This part was a kick to write.

So the my manuscript got much better, I’m hearing things from my marketing and website person, “What’s your brand, Mary?”

I picture a brand on the rear end of a cow, at least that’s what it meant when I grew up around animals. “Double Bar K” I say.

“What’s the K for?” she asks?”

“K is for Kick ass!”

“No,” she says. “Your brand in one word

or phrase tells who you are!”

“But I am many people in the book,” I say. “It moves chronologically: teenage rodeo champion, movie actress, mom raising two kids, woman alone after marriage breaks up, woman happily remarried late in life.” I add, “Through it all I wrote columns locally and in the Chicago Tribune, and two mystery novels on the side. And I have to get it down to one brand?”

“Yes, define yourself.”

“Kickass.”

“Let’s think on that one,” she says.

There is an ocean of difference between writing a book and launching a book. Since I grew up in the Space Age the first thought that comes to mind about launching is Cape Canaveral and rockets, even spaceships full of astronauts heading for the moon. Webster says launch means to “hurl or send forth with some force.”

Also launch means “to start something new.”

So this morning, I woke up at 2 a.m. picturing my book shooting into space.

“No wait,” I said to my husband who was

asleep. “I’d rather go with the other meaning of launch which is to slide a new vessel into the water.”

“Sure, sure,” he mumbled and turned over.

If I’m pregnant with a book, honestly that’s what it feels like, it’s my baby. It might be bald or pudgy but it’s mine.

I text the marketing person. “Can we launch my baby, I mean my book in the bathtub?”

She writes back. She’s up all night too.

‘No, no ... in a cloud an internet cloud, Twitter and Facebook, YouTube.”

This will be fun, but for me it’s like going to the moon, the territory completely unknown. What will feel like and what will be the results?

Mary Stobie will launch her memoir in November. It will hurl through space or sail on the back of rubber ducky in the bathtub.

If you want to be on the email list for the launch party, or want to compare notes about writing your own book please write to mry_jeanne@yahoo.com.

How do you go from a first date to falling in love?

You may know it’s not easy to meet someone new who romantically interests you, especially if you are over 40. You also may know that it is difficult to connect, bond, deepen a relationship and fall in love — even when you do find a promising romantic partner.

So how do you go from a first date to falling in love? There is no fail-safe, reliable manual for how to do that, but I will offer some suggestions.

First, pay close attention to how you approach an initial encounter with someone. Are you looking for reasons to say “yes” or for reasons to say “no?” Do you tend to focus on what you’re attracted to, or what you’re not attracted to? You want to be careful so you don’t throw away someone who is promising, because promising opportunities do not come along all that often. That being said, eliminate anyone who is currently in a serious relationship, who is on the rebound and wants to talk about their ex, and anyone who is not emotionally or physically available for a relationship at this time. You’re not looking for potential — you want someone who is available.

Second, be willing to open up and

reveal yourself. Don’t be emotionally hidden, superficial or fearful of letting someone else in. It is far better to risk getting hurt or rejected then to play it too safe, and it is far better to risk your heart than not to. If you don’t do this, you will not fall in love.

Third, be willing to do the hard work all successful relationships require: identify when there’s a problem or an irritation in a timely manner, and do everything you can to work through the conflict in such a way that both of you feel valued and respected.

Get comfortable with the skills needed to resolve conflicts effectively. You can’t have a good relationship without them.

Fourth, whenever you possibly can, make important to you what is important to your partner. It conveys openness and

We are peeking around the corner and seeing fall fast approaching. The Broncos have been on the practice field for weeks, and hunters have received their April big game license (or rejection) in the mail and all leftover licenses have been allocated to hunters on a first come, first served basis.

Mental-health actions raise racial questions Seclusion, restraint seen as ‘treatment failure’

By Kristin Jones

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News In 2010, a man named Troy Geske died at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo after being wrestled by staff members onto a bed, where he was restrained with straps and left by himself, face down.

He asphyxiated.

Geske’s death resulted in the state’s paying a $775,000 settlement to his family and a ban on the use of prone restraint in state hospitals. The tragedy also accelerated a concerted effort in Colorado to limit the use of seclusion and restraint for people receiving mental-health treatment.

Seclusion, or confining a person alone in a room, and restraint, or physically preventing a person’s movement, have long been common tools for controlling people in a mental-health crisis — particularly when violence is a risk.

But state health officials regard the procedures as a “treatment failure,” in which risks include “serious injury or death, retraumatization of people who have a history of trauma, and loss of dignity and other psychological harm.”

Hospitals, clinics and mental health centers — including both state-funded and private-sector institutions — reported 12 percent fewer instances of seclusion and restraint in fiscal year 2013 than two years earlier.

Still, the state’s latest report on the use of these and other mental-health procedures, released May 23, shows that minorities are more likely to be put into these punishing conditions than whites. The data shows: African-Americans make up 11 percent of the 1,498 Coloradans secluded or restrained in hospitals and other mentalhealth settings last year, according to the annual report by the state’s Department of Human Services.

By comparison, only around 4 percent of the total population in the state is black, according to the latest available census data from 2012, while about 8 percent of

the instances of mandated mental-health treatment — including 72-hour holds, certifications, seclusion, restraint and involuntary medication — in fiscal-year 2013 involved black patients.

Whites show up more or less proportionally in mandated mental-health treatment. They make up around 70 percent of the state’s population, and were involved in 69 percent of the instances of mentalhealth treatment last year.

However, white patients made up only 53 percent of those put into seclusion and restraint.

Access to care dubious

Hispanics are under-represented in mandated mental-health treatment, raising questions about Latinos’ access to care.

Hispanics make up 21 percent of the state’s population, but were involved in only 13 percent of the instances of mandated treatment.

Like blacks, Hispanics are more likely to be subject to the most punitive conditions while in care. About 30 percent of the people put into seclusion and restraint last year were Hispanic.

A series of investigations into the state’s behavioral health-care system by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News, “Untreated: How Ignoring Mental Illness Costs Us All,” has found that for many people with mental illnesses, help is hard to find.

While demand for psychiatric services has increased significantly in recent years, the supply of inpatient services has dropped, straining the remaining hospitals and clinics that do provide these services.

Health officials at the Colorado Department of Human Services say they haven’t examined the apparent racial disparity in the use of punitive measures like seclusion and restraint.

Patrick Fox, an official with the department, says he has no insight into why African-Americans may be disproportionately subject to the harsh procedures, and the issue hadn’t previously been brought to his attention.

But he said that given documented differences in the treatment of minorities in the criminal justice system — where blacks

Julie Reiskin, left, executive director of the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, and Marlene Murillo, a Coalition executive assistant, on Tuesday, June 10 in Denver advocate on behalf of people with disabilities. Reiskin says her organization often hears concerns that people of color, including Murillo’s 31-year-old son, are often ignored, refused treatment or jailed when seeking in help for mental illness. Photo by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News are arrested in disproportionate numbers and given longer sentences — discrepancies in mental-health treatment are “not surprising.”

Recent records of incidents of violence and alleged abuse at the state mental health institutes at Fort Logan and Pueblo show that seclusion and restraint are still used as tools to control patients who are perceived as a risk to others. At times, residents complain that the measures cause injuries.

In December, for instance, a teen patient at Fort Logan was put into four-point restraints after trying to kick and grab staff while experiencing delusions of needing surgery, according to the hospital’s report.

He later complained of feeling numbness in his hands from the restraints — allegations that the hospital said it wasn’t able to substantiate. The state health department investigated and agreed with the institute.

Case spurred resignation

for 15 minutes at the window of the room where she was held in seclusion, needing to use the bathroom. Nobody came, and she urinated on the floor.

“I’m used to being in seclusion,” she told investigators later. “But that’s not right that I had to pee on the floor.”

One nurse resigned and another was disciplined as a result of the hospital’s investigation.

Mark Silverstein, legal director at the Colorado chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, says the practices — and the potential for racial bias — deserve a close look.

“Seclusion and restraint are some of the most serious deprivations of liberty that there are in an institutional setting, so there’s certainly a risk of abuse, and there’s a history of abuse,” says Silverstein.

A lack of funding for research into racial disparities in the behavioral healthcare arena in Colorado hampers efforts to address the problems, says Julie Reiskin,

In a separate instance in May 2013, a female patient in her 30s said she knocked

doing since the tragic accident which killed Baldwin on January 26.

Hosch has maintained that he does not know what happened that morning while he was driving to church but stated his age was a factor.

“There are so many little warning signs that things are not as smooth as they used to be — but we ignore them,” Hosch said while addressing the judge. “I should have sought out more information to make a rational evaluation of my own skills and abilities,” he said. “I can only hope and pray that they (Baldwin’s family) will forgive me and that is all I can ask for at this time.”

Among the officer’s present during the sentencing was Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink, who spoke about Baldwin’s passion for road safety and his dedication to his work that was “unmatched” and irreplaceable.

“His passion was not without purpose,” Mink said. “It was always about safety of the community.”

Baldwin’s brother, Bob Baldwin, echoed similar sentiments about his sibling.

recommendations did not adequately reward those for performance.

Following the vote, Witt proposed a new compensation model which supports the board’s goal and rewards effectively-rated teachers for performance.

Witt’s model (www.boarddocs.com) would raise the base pay for full time teachers to $38,000 to be more competitive with other districts; give bonuses in lieu of salary increases to “effective teachers” with higher base salaries; and provide a 50 percent higher compensation increase for highly effective teachers than those of effectively-rated teachers.

“It’s very important as a district and an organization that performance means

“Dave epitomized the giving of oneself for his brothers,” Baldwin said. “He always committed himself 100 percent to the people around him.”

On Jan. 26, at 10:05 a.m., Baldwin was traveling in the left northbound lane on his Harley-Davidson patrol motorcycle, entering a sweeping curve. According to police officials, a 2004 Saturn Vue SUV driven by Hosch was traveling southbound through the curve when it crossed a double-yellow line, traveling into the northbound lanes and passing at least one vehicle. The Saturn collided head-on with the Harley-Davidson.

Hosch is alleged to have failed to return to his lane and continued driving southbound on the wrong side of the road for approximately 1,500 feet, the district attorney’s office reported. Witnesses of the crash estimate that Hosch was traveling 70 to 79 mph just before the collision with Sgt. Baldwin, according to court records.

Investigators from the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office reported that Hosch was going 79 mph, which is 24 miles over the posted speed limit. The investigators added that if Hosch had been going the correct speed at 55 mph, both he and Baldwin would have had enough time to react and avoid the collision.

something,” Witt said. “It is fair we move forward with a comp system that rewards all of our teachers and puts performance as a key component of that system, that’s critically important to me.”

With the rejection of the fact-finding agreement, the board now has full power to resolve the issues at hand, according to the current contract with the association.

According to Lorie Gillis, the district’s chief financial officer, the proposed compensation changes, is not something they could do as a “turn of a key” and would take months to figure out.

“This is not something we could do for even an October paycheck ... pay needs to be accurate,” she said.

Moving forward, the district’s financial and human resources departments will work on calculating the numbers for the proposed pay scale and will present them at a later meeting.

executive director of the Colorado CrossDisability Coalition, which advocates on behalf of people with disabilities.

Reiskin says her organization often hears concerns from people of color that they or their family members are ignored, refused treatment or funneled into jails and prisons when they seek help for mental illness.

Marlene Murillo, an executive assistant at the coalition, is one of them.

Murillo, who is Hispanic, says efforts to find help for her 31-year-old son — who is schizophrenic, has substance abuse problems, and refuses treatment — have more often resulted in his being jailed than hospitalized.

Reiskin says others report they’re treated more punitively than whites when they are able to access the healthcare system.

“For anybody with a mental illness, even though there’s understanding that these are illnesses, they’re treated like they’re bad,” says Reiskin. “That’s really exacerbated around people of color.”

Without enough state-directed research into the issue, says Reiskin, complaints are treated as “anecdotal.”

Simone Charles, an African-American Navy veteran who recently trained to become a peer support specialist to people with mental illnesses, says a perception that the mental-health care system is unfair to blacks already deters people from seeking the help they need.

Charles, who is 48 and lives in Denver, recalls being physically restrained by four male staff members as a teenager, when she was a student in a Kentucky school for girls who had been sexually abused.

She says she was kept in a quiet room for days at a time. But only in retrospect did she wonder whether she was disciplined more than other girls in the class because of her color.

“I’ve never been restrained as an adult,” says Charles, who has post-traumatic stress disorder. “I learned that you can’t afford to be crazy and violent and black in America, because they’re going to lock you up.”

“M

emphis” takes the stage with a little love, laughter and good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n’ roll.

In a time where color defined social norms and carefree pop music dominated the radio, a song of change and love arose from the underground.

“Memphis,” a musical by Joe DiPietro with music and lyrics by Bon Jovi’s David Bryan, opens the at the Arvada Center, Sept. 9, taking audiences back to the early 1950s in an electrifying world where acceptance and love triumph and rock ‘n’ roll, gospel and blues rule the airwaves.

“It’s very strong show,” said Director Rod A. Lansberry.

“You’re dealing with so many emotions and mindsets of how things were and how things are. You can’t candy coat that; we all have to face things we don’t really want to face — but you have to recognize that were surrounded by elements like that.”

Transitioning to the early 1950s, “Memphis” takes you through the lives of Huey (Jim Hogan) a young white disc jockey, and Felicia (Aisha Jackson) an aspiring black underground nightclub singer. Falling in love with the sound of her voice, the story follows the couple as Huey helps launch Felicia and the energetic, emotional sounds of the R&B into homes across America.

“It’s very powerful and inspiring,” Jackson said. “It tells you an important story without banging you over the head with it — it’s smooth.”

Through his radio show, Huey crosses both racial and societal boundaries, bringing what was then referred to as ‘race music’ to a white audience and tackling the hardships of interracial relationships.

With struggles of an impending cultural shift, Huey and Felicia work toward their dreams while facing a world of differences where acceptance and love

doesn’t come cheap.

“Historically, this creates or enlightens you to what occurred in civil rights, black versus whites, all those elements — they are definitely still there,” Lansberry said.

Musically driven through songs such as “Underground,” “Someday” and “Radio,” “Memphis” pushes racial boundaries and pulls Memphis runs Sept. 9 through Sept. 28 at the at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. For more inforpassions mation or to purchase tickets, contact 720-898-7200. within the audience, inspiring both the characters and the audience to evolve.

“It’s impressive in the storytelling that they have covered every point of view,” Jackson said. “You have the two younger opposite races who kind of grew up knowing that, but we decided to push that boundary — this is what we were given, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept it.”

“This shows it’s OK to bend and not break, and as a society you can bend, you can morph, you can adjust and still stay who you are,” said Kieth Hatten (Delray) “When you tell the truth of that, you can see where we were, but more importantly where we’ve come, and where we haven’t made it to yet.”

`Uncorked’ fall series opens

Started as a monthly event in 2010, “Fridays Uncorked” has grown into a weekly wine and music series that continues year-around at Bonacquisiti Wine Company at 4640 Pecos St. in the Sunnyside neighborhood.

The fall series opens Sept. 4, and the Sept. 19 “Uncorked” event will feature the band My Old School — A Tribute to the Music of Steely Dan. My Old School is the culmination of the efforts of 12 professional Denver musicians who feel an affinity to Steely Dan and the music that Walter Becker and Donald Fagen created by applying jazz to pop music.

In addition to the September music lineup, winemaker and namesake Paul Bonacquisiti will be featuring three new wine releases, including a bold spicy Petite Sirah, which last year sold out to wine club members upon release, as well as a Barbera and the [d] Red, a blend of 80 percent Merlot, 10 percent Syrah and 10 percent Zinfandel. The [d] Red is named after Delagua, the coal camp in southern Colorado where Bonacquisti’s father was born. The [d] Red and Barbera releases will be available by the bottle and on tap at the winery in one-liter refillable growlers.

Each event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Admission is free and wine is available to purchase, as is food from a food truck that changes each week. Seating is limited, so guests are encouraged to bring a chair. The live music line-up through September includes: • Sept. 4 - Knight Groove • Sept. 12 - Heavy, Timbo and Deb • Sept. 19 - My Old School • Sept. 26 - The Hip Replacements For more information, visit www. bonacquistiwine.com.

Time for a collection of great reads This time of year always does it to you: you start seeing places to clean.

Any other time, there can be a whole warren of dust bunnies living with you, but that restless last part of summer? Nope, gotta clean – which leads you to this years’ big discovery: a Christmas bookstore gift certificate that you forgot but that you found.

So what to do with it? You could send it to me.

No, just kidding. Why not use it on any of these great reads:

FICTION A forced suicide, a powerful family, and a long-buried secret are at the heart of “What We Lost in the Dark” by Jacquelyn Mitchard.

When a young woman with a devastating disease loses her best friend, she knows who forced the girl into suicide. She knows, but what can she do? What can you do but read the latest novel from this beloved author?

You might also like “Dirty Copper” by Jim Northrup. It’s the story of a Native American Marine who returns to the Rez after a stint in Vietnam and becomes a lawman. Needless to say, that’s not exactly what his fellow citizens want…

If a little fantasy is to your liking, then try “Killer Frost” by Jennifer Estep. This latest installment of the Mythos Academy features a little bit of romance, a little bit of humor, and a lot of darkness – which will please current fans and make new ones. Yes, you can read this book all by itself, but you’ll be happier with at least one earlier one, to get you a bit more up to speed.

Mystery mavens might enjoy “Rivers to Blood” by Michael Lister. It’s a noir-ish whodunit featuring a unique sleuth with an equally unique tie to crime. Here, he desperately tries to find a maniacal escaped prisoner and a killer with a penchant for cruelty.

This is the sixth book with this crime-solving

Parker Continued from Page 14

Erin Markham, the third generation of the Badis family who now operates the restaurant with her husband, Nathan, held a 50th birthday celebration on Aug. 29. The party included menu specials and special prices that evoked the early days of The Noodle: Large onetopping pizzas for $3.95 and spaghetti and meatballs for $4.95.

Markham grew up at the restaurant, which her grandfather Sam bought in 1964 and renamed from Jim Sano’s to “The Saucy Noodle,” with the culinary warning out front on its distinctive red and white canopy awning: “If you don’t like garlic, go home.”

A lot of garlic goes into the Noodle’s spaghetti marinara, which is vegetarian but has so much garlic in it that it looks like ground beef. “The red sauce is grandmother Inez Badis’ recipe,” Markham said. “It’s been a menu staple throughout the decades, alongside the most popular dish, lasagna, as well as spaghetti and the restaurant’s baseballsized homemade meatballs.”

The menu also features one appetizer that might not catch a younger person’s eye: Morey Amsterdam’s fried ravioli.

The dish is named after the late actor

character, so beware: it might propel you to find the other five in this series. And if you’re still looking for your next whodunit, look for “Death Stalks Door County” by Patricia Skalka. It’s a mystery set up North and it’ll keep you guessing, whether you’ve traveled there or not.

If you’re up for something a little different, try “The Newirth Mythology: the Invasion of Heaven by Michael B. Koep. It’s the story of a psychologist who falls from a cliff into the icy drink, and when he comes out of it, his life has changed. Nothing is the same, so he writes it all down for someone else to decipher. It’s part adventure, part fantasy, a bit of mystery, and all fun.

NON-FICTION Are you hooked on updating your status?

Can’t get enough of the memes your friends are posting? Then you’ll enjoy “Fakebook: A True Story. Based on Actual Lies” by Dave Cicirelli, a book about a Facebook experiment and what happens when a virtual life separates from the real one. And if that quirky book piques your interest, then you should also look for “A People’s History of the Peculiar” by Nick Belardes. It’s filled with quickto-read entries about the weird, freaky, and unusual among us.

World War II buffs will surely want to read “Under the Eagle” by Samuel Holiday, Navajo Code Talker, and Robert S. McPherson. It’s the story of Holiday’s life, his childhood, his culture, and his service in the War. This decorated veteran’s tale is one you won’t want to miss…

Are you a Michael Perry fan yet? You will be after you’ve read “From the Top: Brief Transmissions from Tent Show Radio” by Michael Perry. This is a book filled with essays on this and that, a bit about something else, and comments that may make you nod your head in agreement.

and comedian who is best remembered as part of the ensemble cast of the classic “The Dick Van Dyke Show” on television.

“It’s called that because in the ’60s he came in and asked if we had such a dish, and we didn’t so he helped himself to the kitchen and made it himself,” Markham said.

If you dream of a different life and are constantly searching for a way to have it, “Ancient Treasures” by Brian Haughton will help you dream. This fascinating book takes a look at riches found by treasure hunters, above ground, underwater, and under the sod. Take a look at this paperback and you’ll never look at a plot of land the same again. Readers who love treasure-hunting may also want to find “Defending Your Castle” by William Gurstelle.

It’s about how you can make your own catapults, moats, bulletproof shields, and other things you might need to protect the treasure you’ll find…

History fans won’t want to miss “Tudor: The Family Story 1437-1603” by Leanda De Lisle. It’s a thick book about Henry and Louis, Thomas Cromwell, Mrs. Henry I through VIII, Elisabeth the first, and her sister Mary. It’s deliciously scandalous, wonderfully detailed, and irresistible, if you’re a British history buff.

Along the same lines, Downton Abbey fans will want “Servants: A Downstairs History of Britain from the Nineteenth Century to Modern Times” by Lucy Lethbridge.

If you’re an animal lover – the wild kind or the wild-at-heart ones – you’ll enjoy “Why Dogs Hump and Bees Get Depressed” by Marc Bekoff. This anthology of quick-to-read chapters takes a look at the emotional lives, friendships, and intelligence that animals possess, and what you can do to observe and preserve it. For skeptics and believers alike, this is an eye-opening, thought-provoking book. Another interesting book by an author you won’t expect: “Myths of Love” by Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer and Jerome E. Singerman. It’s a book about ancient mythology and what it has to do with love and romance today.

Parents of school-age children might like reading “The Hybrid Tiger: Secrets of the Extraordinary Success of Asian-American Kids”

by Quanyu Huang. Mixing parenting advice with anecdotes illustrating the difference in culture and attitude, this book may set your

child on a path to success… or it might rile you. Now aren’t you intrigued? Also in the news: look at “Forcing the Spring: Inside the Fight for Marriage Equality” by Jo Becker. It’s a book about same-sex marriage in California and how that battle changed the way the nation looks at an institution.

I was quite fascinated by “Folsom’s 93: The Lives and Crimes of Folsom Prison’s Executed Men” by April Moore. In this book, you’ll read about despicable crimes, horrible murders, and the men who paid for their transgressions with the ultimate punishment. And even though most of these executions happened around 100 years ago, this book will still chill the true crime fan. And if that sounds like a juicy read to you, then look for “Passport to Hell” by Terry Daniels, who spent time in a prison in Spain – five years after being cleared of charges.

So your baby is heading for college in about a years’ time or so. That makes it a great time to check out “The Perfect Score Project”

by Debbie Stier, a book about the SATs. How can you UP those numbers? Is there a right way to study for them? Find out by reading this book by a Mom who’s been there, done that. And for the student who’s going into sales after graduation (or even before!), “Ditch the Pitch” by Steve Yastrow is a book that might help him (or her). It’s about a new way of selling, which could be the start of an awesome career.

If you’re itching for hunting season to start (or you mourn that it’s over), then look for “Wingbeats and Heartbeats” by Dave Books.

This is a meditation in short bits on life, prey, prayer, and dogs. It’s also a book you’ll want to remember for gift-giving in a few months, too. Still, if hunting season is too far away for your tastes, look for “Wheel Fever” by Jesse J. Gant & Nicholas J. Hoffman. It’s a

giving. Even my husband says, ‘He’s purty.’”

Metro Creative Connection When hunger pangs arrive and you head to the kitchen to prepare a meal or a snack, it helps to have healthy foods on hand so that you can fill up without filling out your clothes.

Sugary or fattening foods may be popular snacks, but consuming too many of these items can cause health implications, including weight gain, that could last for years. Although health experts tout certain “super foods” that are essential for the body, there are run-of-the-mill foods that are far less glamorous but pack their own healthy punch and are much more readily available.

When making your next shopping list, be sure to add these items.

• Rice: Starchy rice is a versatile food that can accompany many meals. Whether served as a side dish or on its own or with some broth in a soup, rice can help satisfy hunger and keep the stomach feeling full. Brown rice is a healthier option than processed white rice. Rice is also gentle on the stomach for people who need to consume bland diets due to any gastrointestinal ailments. Another advantage to rice is that it stores well and will not go bad, so you can stock up.

• Low-fat yogurt: Yogurt can be enjoyed as a snack any time of the day. Rich in calcium and healthy probiotics, yogurt can even replace certain ingredients in recipes, including creams and sour cream. As a dessert, yogurt is a better option than more fattening puddings or ice cream. Thicker varieties of yogurt can help you

September 4, 2014

feel fuller, longer.

• Unsalted nuts: An excellent protein-rich snack, nuts can be the go-to food when you need a nutritional pick-me-up. Although they tend to be high in fat, much of the fat content is unsaturated fat that is rich in omega acids necessary for cardiovascular and neurological health. Nuts can be sprinkled on salads or served with cheeses to make meals more satisfying.

• Canned or dried fruits: Fruits that are packed in natural fruit juices are just as healthy as fresh produce. However, they can be stored for longer periods of time without spoiling.

Many people do not consume the recommended servings of fruit, and having canned or individually packaged fruit cups available makes it easy to include fruit in your diet. Fruits are full of required vitamins and are a natural fiber source to keep digestion in check. Dried fruits can be added to nuts to make a healthy trail mix.

Raisins, for example, are a great source of iron, which helps the blood transport oxygen.

• Beans and legumes: These foods are high in protein as well as fiber, generally in a low-calorie package. Beans and legumes can replace meats as a protein source in many meals when the goal is to reduce caloric and fat intake. Beans can be used to thicken sauces or make foods more hearty, helping to stretch them further.

• Vegetables: Whether fresh or frozen, vegetables are a must-have staple. Vegetables are ripe with vitamins and minerals, and pack a lot of punch with very low calories and fat. People need not worry about filling up on vegetables,

and they’re one of the snacks that can be eaten in abundance without worry of racking up a lot of calories. Aim to have half of your plate filled with vegetables at every meal, which will keep you full.

• Lean protein sources: Fish, poultry and lean cuts of meat are often the basis for meals. They can be kept and enjoyed in moderation. Rich cuts of pork and beef may be flavorful but are high in saturated fats.

• Lemons or lemon juice: Rather than seasoning foods with salt and butter, lemon juice is a tasty flavoring that lends itself well to many types of foods. Lemons and limes contain limonene, furocoumarins and vitamin C, all of which help reduce your risk of cancer.

• Cranberry juice: In addition to being an antioxidant, 100 percent cranberry juice helps fight bladder infections by preventing harmful bacteria from growing. The juice can be consumed on its own or diluted to add a splash of flavor to water.

• Figs: Many people underestimate the nutritional value of figs. Figs can be eaten fresh off of the tree. Think about adding mashed figs to batters for healthier breads or even desserts. A good source of potassium and fiber, figs also contain vitamin B6, which produces mood-boosting serotonin, lowering cholesterol and preventing water retention.

There are many healthy and versatile foods that can be stored in the pantry without spoiling. They make for quick snacks and help keep you feeling fuller, longer.

LAKEWOOD, VALOR DOMINATE JEFFCO LEAGUE TOURNEY Tigers look like they have found some magic this season

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com ARVADA - Lakewood golf has something special this season.

The Tigers team week after week and match after match are starting to prove that they are not only the best 5A Jeffco team but one of the best 5A teams in the state.

And again on Friday they were the best 5A Jeffco team at the Jeffco League Tournament at Indian Tree Golf Course.

The Tigers posted a team score of 299, nine strokes better than second place Ralston Valley. (308). Columbine finished third as a team with a 310 total and Dakota Ridge shot 322 finishing fourth.

Moreover, Lakewood had three of the top six individual scores at the tournament, as J.J. Amato shot a 73, and Griffin Barela and Jack Castiglia both shot 74.

The top 5A individual golfer was Columbine’s Marcus Tait who shot 69.

But it was the Tigers as a team that had the most impressive day as they continue their impressive start to their season.

“I am a really lucky coach right now.

We have a bunch of guys who can really play and they are all still getting better,” Lakewood coach Alan Gonzales said.

“And not only are we a really good team, we are a really good young team.”

The 4A side of the Jeffco tournament was a different story. As expected, Valor Christian dominated the 4A Jeffco field, shooting a team score of 281.

The Eagles’ 281 score was 20 shots better than second place Evergreen which shot 301. Littleton shot 327 finishing fourth followed by Green Mountain (327) and D’Evelyn (328).

But Valor dominated at a level that almost didn’t seem fair, claiming all three of the top 4A golfers in the tournament, as well as four of five finishers.

Valor’s Coby Welch, Pierce Aichinger and Tim Amundson all shot 70. Evergreen’s Liam Short had the next best 4A score shooting 71, tied with Valor’s Jake Staiano.

Valor Christian, although nowhere near Jefferson County, joined 4A Jeffco for this season and next season, at the least, as a part of CHSAA’s realignment.

The Eagles have won four of the past five 4A state championships as a team and though Valor is considered a football school they may be even better at golf.

Fair or not, 4A Jeffco better get used to Valor being exceptional at golf.

Pomona’s Grant Olinger again proved himself as one of the state’s best individual golfers shooting a 71 during Friday’s Jeffco league Tournament. Olinger’s 71 was the second lowest score of the tournament. Photos by Daniel Williams

Lakewood’s J.J. Amaro has one of the prettiest swings you will ever see. He also has one of the most complete golf games in Jeffco, evident by him shooting 73 during the Jeffco League Tournament Friday at Indian Tree Golf Course.

PGA’s best to tee it up at Cherry Hills Staff Report With dozens of the world’s best professional golfers set to tee it up at Cherry Hills Country Club this week, tickets are at a premium.

No tickets will be sold at the gate for the Sept. 4-7 BMW Championship and fans are encouraged to check online at www.

BMWChampionshipUSA.com for availability.

“We do expect to see maybe over 140,000 fans for the week,” said BMW

Championship General Chairman George Solich.

The BMW Championship is the third — and second to last — leg of the seasonending FedEx Cup playoffs. The top 70 players in the standings advance to Cherry Hills for the first Colorado PGA men’s event since the 2006 International at Castle Pines.

The top 125 players in the FedEx standings, which didn’t include Tiger Woods, played Aug. 21-24 at The Barclays in Paramus, N.J. to kick off the playoffs. Hunter Mahan won the event, and in turn moved

from 62nd to first in the standings, dropping Rory McIlroy to second.

Playoff contenders were trimmed to 100 for the Deutsche Bank Championship Aug. 29-Sept. 1 in Norton, Mass., and the top 70 will then come to Cherry Hills.

Playoff points are added to those garnered during the regular season and points will determine the eventual champion following the Tour Championship Sept. 11-14 in Atlanta. Only the leading 30 players in points after Cherry Hills will play in Atlanta.

In addition to Mahan and McIlroy, oth-

er celebrated players in the top 100 prior to the Deutsche Bank Championship include Bubba Watson (fifth), 2010 FedEx champion Jim Furyk (sixth), Rickie Fowler (11th), Sergio Garcia (15th), Kent Denver graduate Kevin Stadler (34th), Ernie Els (39th) and Phil Mickelson (57th).

The contenders who make the Cherry Hills field will compete on a 7,352-yard, par 70 course with 3-inch deep rough.

“With the rain we’ve had, the rough has got some teeth,” Solich said.

Broomfield outlasts A-West Volleyball Improved Wildcats fall to Eagles in dramatic fifth set

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com ARVADA - The Arvada West Wildcats looked really good in the season opener against Broomfield — only they lost the match.

The Wildcats were beat by the Eagles 3-2 (25-27, 25-13, 17-25, 25-22, 2-15) in a thriller that went back and forth and was evenly matched until the final set.

A-West senior Mikaila Paxton led the Wildcats with 13 kills and helped overpower Broomfield during stretches of the match.

Paxton and sophomore Aza Underwood (nine kills) helped push the Eagles for four full sets but the youth of Arvada West caught up with them in the final set.

That is when Broomfield’s senior leadership caught up with A-West, as senior’s Callie Kaiser and Tori Biggerstaff helped take over the match down the stretch.

Kaiser recorded 19 kills and routinely made big plays to keep Broomfield in control and Biggerstaff’s 15 kills were the third most by any player in the match.

But Broomfield wasn’t just a dynamic duo. It took a total team effort for the Eagles to hold off the Wildcats.

Junior Kaley Radcliff led Broomfield with 25 digs and sophomore Madi Rademacher led all players with six blocks and six aces.

Arvada West junior Amalia Linton led her team with 14 digs and junior Kayla Sanchez led the Wildcats with 26 assists.

A-West played hard for all five sets and at times looked superior to Broomfield, but the Wildcats are also one of the youngest teams in 5A Jeffco with only three seniors on their roster.

On the other hand, Broomfield has several key players who are all seniors and who all stepped up when called on.

A-West and Broomfield were both middle-tier teams in their leagues last season,

Arvada West junior Mikaila Paxton goes airborne and spikes what was a kill shot during the Wildcats match with Broomfield Thursday at A-West High School. But Broomfield won the match 3-2. Photo by Daniel Williams both looking to take a big step this season.

And despite the loss for Arvada West both teams still could make that leap to the top of their league standings.

A-West finished 11-11 (3-5 in league) last season behind several really good teams like Lakewood, Ralston Valley and

Erectile Dysfunction (E.D.)

Bear Creek. This season the Wildcats plan on finishing the season as a top three team in 5A Jeffco.

Broomfield struggled last season and finished 9-16 (5-9 in league). But was also a better team than the record might indicate.

But by the end of the season you could

by Broomfield winning four of five games near their season’s end.

Valor outlasts Pomona in battle of state’s best Panthers mistakes come back to bite them in the end

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@colorado communitymedia.com ARVADA - It is not often that one of the biggest high school footballs games of the year is played so early in the season, but schedule-makers paired Pomona and Valor Christian Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex.

The reigning 5A state champions held off the Panthers’ best effort, as Valor beat Pomona 21-12 in a physical slugfest that the Eagles survived.

The powerhouse Panthers didn’t disappoint. Pomona pushed Valor to the brink, and if it wasn’t for a few self imposed mistakes

the Panthers might have been able to steal a victory.

In a first half that featured two stout defenses Valor quarterback sophomore and son of Denver Broncos’ icon Ed McCaffery scored a rushing touchdown from 1-yard out in the first quarter for the first half’s only score.

But the back-and-forth physical brand of football delivered by both teams led to McCaffrey being knocked out of the game and replaced by senior Parker Courier.

Pomona finally got on the board in the third quarter after a long grind-out drive that was created after a Courier interception.

The Panthers marched down the field and sophomore Cameron Gonzales scored a 7-yard touchdown.

However, that only made the score 7-6 after a missed

Pomona extra point.

The Panthers were still on the prowl to try and knock off the state champions, going into the fourth quarter down just one point. However, that was before Courier and Valor went down the field two more times in the fourth quarter for two more touchdowns, to extending the lead to 21-6.

The Panthers would rally late in the game as senior quarterback Justin Roberts led Pomona on a scoring drive with just under four minutes left in the game.

But Pomona failed to convert on the two-point conversion try, leaving the Panthers with no hope as they remained two scores away from catching the Eagles.

Pomona’s special teams’ mistakes, as well as an illadvised interception came back to haunt the Panthers

team who felt — and probably still do feel — like Valor’s equals.

This early season game that finished dramatically could be just a preview of a potential state championship game as both team are considered top five teams in the state (if not the two best teams in the state).

Pomona (0-1) has no time to mope. The Panthers will play Cherry Creek, another 5A state power, Friday at 7 p.m. at Stutler Bowl.

Valor improved to 2-0 with the first victory of the season coming at Bonneville, an Idaho team that was destroyed 61-20 during Week Zero. The Eagles also have a 25-game winning streak against Colorado opponents dating back to 2012.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 1, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Be careful not to allow the backers of a new financial “deal” to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes. It could hold fewer plusses and more negatives than you were first led to believe.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good idea to finish all incomplete tasks so that you can devote your attention to next week’s projects. The weekend could hold surprises for romantic Fernandas and Ferdinands.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A workplace suggestion you made a while ago that you might have forgotten could come back with a request to turn it from idea to reality. Your social life picks up considerably this weekend.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Someone from the past could return with an intriguing opportunity for a future project. Check into it, by all means. But don’t neglect your current responsibilities in the meantime.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Keeping your claws sheathed and using good humor instead to counter someone who’s bad-mouthing the Big Cat isn’t easy. But it’s the best way to avoid more problems down the line.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A workplace situation could improve if you’re less critical and more supportive of those who are, after all, trying to do their best.

Let them know you’re there to help when necessary.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A new job offer might not carry all the benefits you’re seeking. Make sure you know what you’re entitled to, what is off the table and what is negotiable before you make a decision.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A social obligation you would rather get out of could hold some surprisingly positive aspects. Why not go and see for yourself? A family member makes a curious request.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Before tackling that new project awaiting you at home or on the job, take time out for some much-deserved pampering to help lift your spirits and restore your energy levels.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your social calendar begins to fill up more quickly than you expected.

And that’s great. You deserve to enjoy some good fun after so much time spent on serious matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A domestic situation continues to improve, thanks to all the tender, loving concern you’ve shown. A colleague makes a questionable move that you might want to check out sooner rather than later.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A sudden turn in a romantic relationship calls for both a rational and passionate response. Keep the love level high, but also find out why the problem arose in the first place.

A PATCH TO MATCH

Highly rated & screened contractor by Home Advisor & Angies list

By Daniel Williams

Alameda/Jefferson: The Pirates surprised Jeffco football by blowing out Jefferson 68-12 Friday at Trailblazer Stadium.

Alameda starts off its season with a victory over a Jefferson program that qualified for the state playoffs last season.

The Saints lost several key players to graduation and growing pains, like the pain Alameda imposed last Friday, was to be expected.

The Pirates (1-0) will play at Skyview Friday at 7 p.m.

The Saints (0-1) will try and regroup with a victory over Rifle who they will host Friday at 6 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium.

Arvada: The Bulldogs dropped a nail biter to Sheridan falling 33-25 Friday at Sheridan High School.

Sheridan’s home field proved to be the difference in a game that could have went either way and Arvada fell to 0-2 on the young season.

In the loss Arvada sophomore quarterback Ian Coleman passed for 374 yards and four touchdowns. But a couple untimely interceptions ended up costing the Bulldogs down the stretch.

Arvada will play at Berthoud Friday at 7 p.m.

Arvada West: The Wildcats started off the season with an impressive 32-19 victory over Douglas County Friday at North Area Athletic Complex.

It was also the first win of the Brad Pyatt era, as A-West hired the first year head coach in the offseason.

Arvada West trailed after the first quarter but went on to score 20 unanswered points over the next two quarters to secure the victory.

The Wildcats (1-0) will play at Smoky Hill Saturday at 6 p.m.

D’Evelyn: The Jaguars started off their season with a 34-0 blowout victory over Weld Central Saturday at Trailblazer Stadium.

D’Evelyn senior running back Ian Lewis ran wild compiling 215 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

On the other side of the ball senior Mike Trimble was all over the field Friday night, recording 11 tackles (two for a loss).

The Jaguars (1-0) will play at Greeley West Friday at 7 p.m.

Green Mountain: The Rams rallied but still fell to Greeley Central 31-24 Saturday at Greeley Central High School.

The Wildcats took a 14-3 first quarter lead putting Green Mountain in a hole. But behind senior running back Chance Boyce, rushing for 180 yards and three touchdowns, the team almost came back.

But the Rams couldn’t close the gap as Greeley Central scored a backbreaking fourth quarter touchdown.

Green Mountain (0-1) will play Golden Friday at 4 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium.

Wheat Ridge: The Farmers have started off their season with two monsters victories with the latest coming in a 49-0 beatdown Friday at Littleton High School.

But more impressive is the fact that Wheat Ridge is yet to give up a single point through two games this season.

The Farmers opened their season with a 42-0 victory over Pueblo Central and after Friday’s win have outperformed their opposition 91-0 this season.

Credit new head coach Dan Reardon with Wheat Ridge’s impressive start, but it will be interesting to see if the Farmers can maintain their high level of play.

Wheat Ridge (2-0) will host Pueblo South next Thursday at 7 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium.

This pest, new to Colorado, is a significant problem for all ash trees.

I strongly recommed having your valuable ash trees injected prior to having an “officially designated” infestation in your area.
