MY NAME IS

BARBARA MARTIN

Longtime Lakewood resident, professor and former city councilmember About me My two kids graduated from Lakewood High School. This has been our home for 46 years. I’ve always seen Lakewood as a progressive city, and things just work out here. It’s a good place.

I grew up in Michigan, and I was always involved in community work, just like my father. I’ve worked at the Denver Federal Center, I’ve taught

at Metropolitan State University of Denver and Red Rocks Community College and I worked as an editor for a national magazine.

Magazine moment I can remember when my friend and I were sitting in a restaurant, and we saw a slip of paper with news about Lakewood. Union Square was just getting developed, and I remember saying that people could use more information about where they live. It was a growing area, and I wanted to inform people about their home in some way.

We started a magazine called Lakewood Magazine. We did it for four years, and we always had a special theme. It was a great experience for me. I had several women who wrote for me. We did restaurant reviews,

history stories, features on businesses and stories about residents. It was something that I thought would be interesting to do, and it was probably my favorite job.

Advocating for women As a young woman out of college, I saw a press release about joining the American Association of University Women. Our mission is to advocate for women’s pay equity and education for women. Those are all things I worked with American Association of University members passing out pamphlets to inform people about the Equal Rights Amendment. We were even in parades to try to inform people about equal rights for women.

Finding the Right Senior Living Community Can Be Confusing!

Buying and selling a single family home can be confusing enough, but it pales in comparison to shopping for the best senior living community.

According to Jenn Gomer of CarePartrol (more about her later in this article), there are no fewer than 400 senior communities in the Denver metro area, and the variety of living options and business models can be overwhelming.

There are pure rental facilities and rentals with buy-ins.

The size and terms of those buy-ins can vary greatly, too.

Some facilities are on a campus with continuous care options as your health changes, ranging from independent living to assisted living to nursing home care, to memory care to hospice. Personally, I like the idea of not having to move again if my health changes, but not all communities include that feature.

Financing, of course, is a huge consideration. If you own your current home and have lots of equity in it (little or no mortgage), that can provide a nest egg that could hopefully outlive you, if managed correctly and spent on the right facility. But not everyone has that luxury.

It’s important to get the right advice from someone who is not out to drain more of your limited funds. We think we have found that person, too, in Jenn Gomer. Jenn and her associates at CarePatrol don’t charge for their services.

Jenn’s company is paid by the communities that she helps you visit, analyze and ultimately select. She has all the important information about those 400 senior communities that I mentioned above. She knows their safety records, their health records, their reputation in the industry, their financial

Green Mountain students’ math project almost move-in ready Anderson Windows and Doors donation adds to house

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Green Mountain High School’s Geometry in Construction program is available to ninth and 10th grade students at the home. This school year, there were around 70 students enrolled in the program, and it is divided in two class periods — one of which is geometry and the other is applying those geometry skills to constructing a house for a local family in need. The program has been adopted by 500 high schools nationwide, according to Green Mountain High School construction teacher Scott Burke.

He started the program along with math teacher Tom Moore at Loveland High School over ten years ago.

ime has flown by since Jeffco Public Schools Superintendent Jason Glass stopped by Green Mountain High School in the fall to hammer in the first nails of the school’s Geometry in Construction program’s house. Now, what was just wood laying in the school’s parking lot is starting to look like a real home — and a local business is getting in on the construction.

Through Anderson Windows and Doors’ Window of Giving Program, a fund used to reinvest in community projects and charitable efforts, the company donated and installed windows with Geometry in Construction students on May 14.

Currently, the house is located at Green Mountain High School’s parking lot. When the house is complete, it will become the home for a local family in need. The house is expected to be completed in October.

“This is exactly the type of thing we like to do where we actively invest in our communities. The real benefit is being able to demonstrate the practi-

half has students apply those geometry skills to constructing the house.

Students are divided into teams and given a card that has a task to be completed each construction day. Students learned everything from framing to pluming for the house.

“For many of these kids, they’re going to look back and say this was the best experience of their entire high school career. I know that because of past experiences,” says Burke who has been involved with the program for more than 10 years.

“The confidence they have to select tools and problem solve and make the viable product is totally amazing.

It makes me emotional, because I know they will be able to go out and accomplish greatness in anything they set their mind to.”

“Building the house makes it more special. It makes math more special, because you actually get to do something with it,” said Brenden Lottes, a Green Mountain High School sophomore who is involved in the Geometry in Construction program. “Instead of just making shapes, you’re measuring wood and actually doing stuff. It makes it a good class.”

‘A special day to remember those who have given the final and ultimate sacrifice’

eleste Gamache served 20 years in the United States Air Force, including two tours in Afghanistan.

Gamache, of Denver, joined other military veterans, families, friends and loved ones at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver for the annual Memorial Day ceremony in honor of service members who died in the line of duty.

“There are a lot of people who have lost their lives defending our freedom and this country, and we can never forget them,” Gamache said.

Prayers were said along with speeches honoring service members. Before the ceremony, flags were placed on every grave at the cemetery. More than 100,000 veterans are buried at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

“Memorial Day is about those who have actually given their lives. While we will remember veterans all year long, this is a special day to remember those who have given the final and ultimate sacrifice,” said Lt. Col. Thomas Scheffel of the Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force.

President Donald Trump and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis ordered flags at public buildings to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to noon on Memorial Day. “(The Memorial Day ceremony) makes me cry,” said Kevin Sharp, executive officer of the Mountain View Young Marines, who work to develop boys and girls into responsible citizens. “Honoring people who gave their lives means the world to me.”

Easy Qualify Mortgages for Seniors on Fixed Income

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the answer you have been seeking.

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get

cash and make life a little easier.

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Call me for more information on your situation and to see if this program will benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options, with accurate facts.

Vegans “party” at new Arvada restaurant School House owner opens So Radish in Olde Town

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As he prepared to open a fifth business in Arvada, Scott Spears set his sights on trying something new.

Having been an on-and-off vegan for years, Spears decided to create a restaurant that primarily served vegan meals — but he was determined to make it completely different than similar restaurants.

“A lot of vegan places, they have flowers on the table and they feel very natural,” he said. “This is a place where vegans can be normal and party.”

Spears, who owns School House Kitchen and the Scrumptious ice cream shop, opened his newest restaurant, So Radish, on April 25. Located at 5711 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., the restaurant is a family operation, he said.

“My wife and I own it, my mom owns the building, my dad helps out,” he said. “It’s all taken a couple years.”

Spears said his employees spent around nine months developing items for the menu, comprised entirely of vegan meals. The selection includes black bean burgers, mushroom cheese steaks and cauliflower tacos, as well as a number of vegan beverages.

“Our cocktails are ludicrously

wanted to make a place where everyone can come and eat.”

Visit the radical “It’s legitiwebsite mately good food.

Soradish.com or We didn’t want the restaurant at to settle,” Potter 5711 Olde Wadsaid. “I wanted sworth Blvd. the whole menu to be things people would get excited about.”

In addition to the detailed vegan menu, customers said they appreciated the `80s-inspired atmosphere of the restaurant.

“It’s very colorful,” Montgomery said. “It’s different and unique.”

Spears designed the interior of the restaurant with a “rad-ish” vibe in mind, he said. Hoping to make the restaurant stand out from others in Olde Town, he installed neon lights, hired artists to cover the walls in street art and created a “hole in the wall” through which customers order their food, he said.

The staff also encourages customers to access a digital menu on their cell phones to save paper.

“We maybe did too many weird things here,” Spears joked.

With the restaurant up and running, he invited anyone in the community to drop by.

“You can bring your family who isn’t vegan and have them enjoy everything, too,” Spears said. “This is 100 percent the place for you to go to.”

good,” he said, “and we always have four to five kombuchas on tap.”

General manager Audrey Potter led the development of the menu, drawing on more than a decade of cooking vegan meals at home for her own gluten- and dairy-free diet and her husband’s vegetarian diet.

“Having that background, I knew the tricks for how to accomplish things without using dairy,” she said.

“A lot of it was a matter of what I would want to eat at home and what I would put on it.”

Customers can also add meat to any

meal on the menu or order their meal gluten-free.

“I’m really excited to have a healthconscious restaurant that caters to people with food sensitivities,” said Golden resident Sare Merrigan, who visited the restaurant for the first time with her friend, Tiffany Montgomery.

“I’ve been wanting to come here for like a month,” Merrigan said.

Spears said he wanted to open So Radish because he felt there were few other options where vegans could eat a meal out in Arvada.

“It’s just missing here,” he said. “We

Lakewood looks at short-term rentals The city will send the issue to an upcoming commission

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood resident Shanna Guy has used short-term rental services multiple times the past few years while traveling. She describes each of her stays as an “exceptional experience” where she met new people and went to local businesses around the neighborhoods of her short-term rentals.

But the Lakewood City Council wants to make sure that short-term rentals in the city are a good experience for the city itself, which is why a council study session on May 5 examined how to regulate short-term rentals and the benefits and consequences that can come with allowing residents to use their homes in such a way.

Short-term rental services, often run through online websites like AirBnB and Vacation Rental by Owner (VRBO), are rentals that last for 30 days, or less. After weighing out the concerns that come with short-term rentals, something that isn’t currently allowed in the city, the council decided to create a new commission

to help craft a policy proposal.

Short-term rentals in Lakewood Lakewood City Councilmember Charley Able pointed out that he is concerned that short-term rentals could change the character of the city’s neighborhoods.

“If a couple wants to have a short-term rental operation in their house, and it helps them afford to live there, that’s a good thing. On the other hand, if people are investing in homes in order to make them short-term rentals, that changes the character of a neighborhood,” Able said at the study session.

Lakewood City Councilmember Dana Gutwein echoed Able’s point about protecting the character of neighborhoods.

She said she believes the city needs to move in a cautious and thoughtful way when it comes to what it decides to do with short-term rentals.

Planning staff had previously recommended short-term rentals a permitted use in a proposed amendment to the city’s zoning code. However, Council requested for shortterm rentals to be removed from the amendment so that it could discuss the issue more.

Gutwein said Council needs to ensure that the owner of a house will stay there when hosting a short-term rental service. She also brought up potential parking issues short-term rentals can cause.

“Property rights are an attribute

LAKEWOOD RESIDENTS ON SHORT-TERM RENTALS

From July 11 to Aug. 9 of last year, Lakewood surveyed its residents about short-term rentals. Over 500 residents responded to the survey. Here are some of the results. percent of survey respondents have stayed in a residential short69.7 term rental. percent of survey respondents have never used their residence 88.9 as a short-term rental service. percent of survey respondents would not consider renting their 54.8 house, or a room in their house to help with their income.

of an economic good, and I should have the right to use the good, the right to have an income from the good, the right to transfer the good, and the right to enforce my property rights,” said Guy at the study session.

Lakewood City Councilmember Jacob LaBure said he has personally used Airbnb before and has had good experiences with it. He described himself as someone who enjoys using shared technology services like scooters and car shares. However, he said he doesn’t see short-term rentals as a “one size fits all issue.” La-

Bure expressed his concerns about code enforcement, parking issues and brought up how some cities have had issues with long-term renters being pushed out by short-term rentals.

“I’m happy to learn more and see if there are solutions out there,” said LaBure.

Ultimately, Council decided to send the issue to its Housing Policy Commission that doesn’t exist quite yet.

That commission will put together a final proposal to City Council.

County continues to seek innovative ways to save money County to focus on safety, stewardship, health and wellbeing in plan but cuts may be on the way

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Despite struggling to keep up with an ever-increasing demand for services because of population growth, Jefferson County has been able to avoid budget cuts for the past few years, said Libby Szabo, chair of the Board of County Commissioners.

“But that is no longer an option,” Szabo said. “The bottom line is that we have to trim our budgets for 2020.”

The county recently proposed a seven percent budget reduction in 2020 for all county offices, departments and divisions whose budget is impacted by the general fund. The General Fund is the county’s principle operating fund that is financed primarily by property taxes.

However, Jefferson County Commissioner Casey Tighe points out that the Colorado Tax Payer Bill of Rights (TABOR) puts an additional strain on the county’s financial struggles.

“Even though property values may increase, the amount of property tax revenue the county is allowed to

collect is limited by the state constitution,” Tighe said. “This limit on the growth of revenue has resulted in the county spending into reserves, which is no longer sustainable.”

The county’s 2019 budget documents state that two principles are to be used to develop the budget for the general fund — one is to have “two months of operating expenses be maintained as a reserve in the general fund” and the second “requires that all ongoing operating expenses be covered by revenue and not fund balance.”

At the same time, the county is working on developing its strategic plan, called Jeffco 2050 Strategy. This will put focus on three main efforts — safety, health and well-being, and stewardship.

This strategic plan, once its closer to finalization, will help the county’s various departments with prioritizing their services as they make cuts, said Ashley Sever, the public affairs manager for Jefferson County Public Health.

“Jefferson County is one of the healthiest counties in Colorado, and that’s partly due to our commitment to strong public health services,” said Dr. Mark B. Johnson, executive director of Jefferson County Public Health. “While budget cuts are always challenging, we will work with Jefferson County and the local public health system to minimize the impact and identify ways to continue to keep

Although website with various most county ofinformation on the fices are still in financial challenges the preliminary and the budget prostages of detercess will be updated mining how the as the processes continue: www.jeffco. proposed budget cut may affect us/3839/FinancialChallenges-for-Jeffco them, the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office has already started thinking about how it would affect its operations.

Per a press release sent out on April 23, the sheriff ’s office notes that in order to achieve a seven percent reduction, it would have to cut its budget by $6.7 million.

This would best be achieved by eliminating employees, but Sheriff Jeff Shrader is “very against making employee cuts,” said the sheriff ’s office’s public information officer Mike Taplin. Therefore, hiring for a position that opens — such as after a person retires — would not happen and that position would remain vacant.

Currently, the Jeffco jail can house 1,400 inmates. But should jail positions become vacant, in order to keep the current guard-to-inmate ratio balanced for safety reasons, the jail capacity may have to be cut by 400-600 beds.

The sheriff ’s office currently has

a contract with the U.S. Marshal to house some of its prisoners, and this provides an additional $1.8 million of revenue to the sheriff ’s office, according to the April 23 press release. If the jail’s capacity has to be cut back, the sheriff would rather end the contract with the U.S. Marshal, resulting in a revenue loss, than not have the beds available when needed by the county’s local, municipal police agencies, Taplin said.

The county will continue to look for greater efficiencies on how business is done, said Jeffco Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper.

Some of these efforts have already proven to be successful, Dahlkemper added. For example, she said, the county’s Road & Bridge Division — which takes care of road, sidewalk and signage maintenance, replacement and repair; street sweeping; snow plowing; and other services vital to transportation — saves the county about $350,000 each year by recycling 100 percent of its used asphalt.

Likewise, the “facilities team has increased energy efficiency, resulting in a savings of nearly $480,000 annually,” she added.

“We take our job as stewards of taxpayer dollars very seriously,” Dahlkemper said of the county commissioners. And even when faced with a need to make budget cuts, “we’re always searching for innovative ways to save taxpayer dollars.”

Not Jeffco’s money Please tell the Jefferson County Commissioners they can’t lose something they never had! Your May 23 article quotes the commissioners news release saying “the loss of this surplus funding has a direct impact on the level and quality of services the county can provide.”

The Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR) has been the law of the land since 1992 when voters approved the measure that requires state and local government to seek voter approval before raising taxes. The measure also limits growth in some state spending to population growth, plus inflation. If the state takes in more than it is allowed to spend, the state must return the surplus to taxpayers.

As long as the commissioners are going to shed tears about what they say is a lost $111 million between the years 2015-2015, they might as well lament all the money returned to taxpayers since inception of the law 27 years ago. It’s fraudulent for commissioners to pretend the money has been lost. Voters knew where the money was all along ... and they voted to limit the amount the government could spend. If Jeffco needs more money, they need only ask the voters. Time for commissioners to cut the budget!

How many times have I missed out on great feelings of joy, excitement, sadness, or grief because I was just too busy grinding it out in the gym, at work, or just trying to keep up with all of my other commitments? I was kind of bummed with myself. And then I thought, wait, being bummed with myself is a feeling, OK I am back in the game.

Feeling good and feeling melancholy can both feel so good. And just staying in touch with what brings about those feelings is even better than good.

Children can take turns giving a weather report for the family and reading maps to learn cities and states.

They can compare their own observations and predictions with professionals’ forecasts. These activities make them more aware of their surroundings.

grew by 13 percent and the number of employees by 10 percent.

In Lakewood, there are 60 trucks licensed to operate, according to city spokeswoman Stacie Oulton.

Officials there believe the trend is partially driven by diners who want customizable food choices.

Meridith Hatterman, food program coordinator for the Tri-County Health Department, said there were 258 licensed food trucks in Tri-County’s jurisdiction of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties as of early May. That’s an approximate 35 percent increase over the last five years.

With the local and national trends, the communities are eyeing entrepreneurial opportunities for residents, the potential boost to local economies and squaring up regulatory procedures for overseeing the roving eateries.

“Five, 10 years ago, food trucks were at construction sites,” said Pete Mangers, revenue manager for the Town of Castle Rock. “Now it’s the trendy thing to do.”

slamophobia is certainly not a new American phenomenon, but it has been on a dangerous uptick in recent years. CanadianEgyptian entrepreCOMING neur Tarek Mounib ATTRACTIONS wanted to challenge the notion that we are the walls that divide us. So, he decided to send people who were afraid of Muslims and “the Islamic threat” on an all-expenses-paid trip to Egypt.

“I saw a lot of polarity and fear when I Clarke Reader watched the news — all this hostility between groups and mistrust,” Mounib explained on a phone interview from Zurich. “It weighed on me, like a lot of people. I wanted to see if there was a way instead of getting angry and afraid. A different approach. So, I thought I’d offer a nice holiday and a way to connect.”

The resulting documentary, “Free Trip to Egypt,” will be screened June 12 at movie theaters across the country, including theaters in the metro area. It is also available on Cinema on Demand.

Mounib explained that he initially tried to find people to take to Egypt online, but was mainly met with hate and disbelief.

Instead, he took a more personal approach, going to events like a rally for President Donald Trump in Union Square in New York City.

Eventually he convinced seven people, including a former corporal in the Marine Corps and a former Miss Kentucky, to go the ancient country and be hosted by a variety of residents.

“My hope was that all of them would drop their preconceived notions and make some connections, but I never expected the degree of connection that was formed,” he said. “And there were my own judgments. Once I dropped those, I was able to connect with the attendees, even if I didn’t agree with their views.”

The June 12 screening is part of the #PledgeToListen Day of Unity. Following the screening, a 30-minute panel discussion will be broadcast into theaters. The aim is start a discussion about how to listen and bring more kindness to the world and encourage people to take the online #PledgeToListen.

“I want people to feel really inspired and hopeful, because there is a way we can all get along. Things don’t have to be so polarizing and dire,” Mounib said. “We’re not trying to educate, we just want to show audiences the wonderful experience the people who went on this journey had. And maybe we can touch their hearts and make them feel better about world they live in.”

or Andrea Rayford and her husband, a food truck was the best means to reach their overall goal of opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant.

“It was basically a lot cheaper to start a food truck,” she said.

Traditional restaurants often come “with a pretty hefty lease,” she said.

So, when her chef husband, Jessie, wanted to open his own place, the Parker couple found a food truck on Craigslist, spent six months fixing it up and started working at the local farmers market.

Eventually, the couple started getting requests from breweries or corporate locations for their truck, Jessie’s Smokin’ NOLA, to come to them. They dish up Cajun food inspired by Jessie’s upbringing in New Orleans.

As business grew, they expanded their coverage area north, got licensed in Denver and began participating at Civic Center Eats. The annual event gathers dozens of trucks in Denver’s Civic Center Park to serve

FOOD TRUCKS: BY THE NUMBERS IBISWorld, a market research company, reports the food truck industry is “one of the best-performing segments in the broader food service sector.” The organization provides market research and analysis on industries worldwide.

It credits cities such as Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, and Austin, Texas, for crafting laws specially designed for mobile food trucks. One of the main attractions for consumers is the chance to

“We were all over the place,” Rayford said. “That’s the great thing about a food truck.”

Today, the couple has that brickand-mortar shop — which shares its name with the food truck — in Centennial near Arapahoe High School.

A booming industry Once branching into Denver, Jessie’s Smokin’ NOLA joined the epicenter of the local food truck scene.

In the last six years the number of food trucks operating in the city has grown by 369 percent.

Excise and Licenses Director Ashley Kilroy, with the City and County of Denver, said approximately 700 food trucks were licensed in the city as of late May and they expected to reach 750 by the end of the summer.

While Denver’s food truck industry explodes, suburbs are taking note of that and the broader trend.

Nationally, the food truck industry had an annual revenue growth rate of nearly 7 percent in the past five years, according to IBISWorld, a market research company. In that same time, the number of businesses

• The industry employs 28,916 people.

TRUCKS FROM PAGE 14

A handful of food trucks now gather along Wilcox Street in Castle Rock’s historic downtown over the lunch hour. The trend arrived in town roughly three years ago and spiked in the last 18 months, Mangers said.

Managing growth in Denver Lawrence Bowdish is the director of research and issue networks for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Corporate Citizen Center.

Bowdish said the food truck trend’s origin is often traced to 2008 and attributed to Los Angeles-based food truck Kogi Korean BBQ. The truck put Korean-style meat in Mexican tacos, parked outside a nightclub at night, tweeted its daytime locations and took home $2 million in sales it first year in operation.

“I think that kind of encouraged a lot of other food trucks to be in the space and do it in a way that was different than a rolling white cafeteria,” Bowdish said.

Immigrant groups seized food trucks as an opportunity to serve cuisines that “they knew, to an audience that maybe has never seen it before,” Bowdish said.

Established brick-and-mortar restaurants used them as a way to further their brand. And stories like Rayford’s are “quite common,” Bowdish said, where entrepreneurs use them as a stepping stone toward opening a per-

The U.S. Chamber’s 2018 study, Food Truck Nation, surveyed food truck owners across the country and evaluated regulatory burdens on the industry. The study’s Food Truck Nation index ranks cities on their friendliness toward food trucks.

Denver ranked No. 1 nationally for its ease of obtaining permits and licenses and No. 2, behind Portland, for its overall friendliness toward the industry. Bowdish said a more recent study has not been done.

“In Denver we’re proud of having had such a significant increase and that we’ve managed that growth,” Kilroy said. “We’re trying to be as business-friendly as we can.”

Kilroy said a work group comprising her department, the Denver Fire Department, Denver Department of Public Health and Environment, and Denver Department Public Works, among others, regularly reviews if city regulations are efficient.

The group holds a weekly, one-stopshop at the Denver Animal Shelter, where trucks can receive an inspection and get licensed “on the spot.” There is also an annual symposium each spring, before the food truck industry’s busy season, to educate truck owners on the inspection and licensing process.

Keeping pace From the survey, the U.S. Chamber found Denver’s process to be straightforward and simple, Bowdish said.

“Operating a food truck in the suburbs wasn’t as clearly defined or laid out,” he said. through June 29 at Benchmark, 1560 Teller St. Performances are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday.

Food trucks must receive health inspections and be licensed to operate in the areas they go to. In places like the Denver metro area, where trucks can move from one community to the next with ease, it’s ideal for jurisdictions to work together to streamline the regulatory process, Bowdish said. That way truck owners aren’t visiting numerous offices and filling out a large number of forms for each community.

“The chamber understands that it’s difficult to have multiple municipalities come together and come up with a joint system,” Bowdish said.

Eric Escudero, spokesman for Denver’s Excise and Licenses department, said Denver regularly gets calls from other jurisdictions and about the city’s regulations, and they hope to serve as a model for neighbors.

In Littleton, the city sees food trucks most often at local breweries or distilleries, places that don’t have kitchens.

Littleton has about five city events that include food trucks.

Economic Development Director Denise Stephens said with food trucks’ popularity growing, the city is working across departments to form a pilot program that brings consistency in Littleton food truck policies.

“We are going to probably create a special food truck application and have them register with the city, and then we’re going to ask them to show us proof that they’re licensed with Tri-County (Health Department),” she said. “We want to attract the really good food purveyors and so we want the process to be pretty easy and not too expensive.”

Greg Pixley, spokesperson for the Denver Fire Department, said by email the department conducted 467 inspections during the one-stop-shop events at the Denver Animal Shelter in 2016.

That number nearly doubled by 2019. So far, Pixley said, the department has kept up with administrative demands, but they expect the industry will continue growing.

“DFD will need to expand its staffing to accommodate growth of the mobile food industry in the kiosk, standalone and truck areas across the metro area,” he said.

Hatterman said Tri-County has so far kept up with additional workloads that resulted from the food truck trend.

As to whether the trend will keep up or put more pressure on regulatory agencies, she’s not sure.

“It’s really hard without a crystal ball,” she said. “Sometimes there are trends that come and go, but when you look at the trucks and their ability to be mobile and go to different events, take advantage of different sites, I think it may be beneficial for some of those operators versus a brick and mortar.”

Former Girl Scout seeks successor to plan run New organizer would plan local 5K, which provides kids with birthday cake

Maria Curtis started the Run for Cake as a Girl Scout project.

Three years later, it is gaining popularity.

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Birthdays are a big deal at Wheat Ridge’s Kullerstrand Elementary School, where every morning, students are invited over the intercom system to the front office for their birthdays.

The students celebrate by visiting the principal, taking a photo and receiving a gift bag of birthday cake ingredients, including cake mix, frosting and candles.

Those gift bags come courtesy of the Run for Cake, an annual fun run launched five years ago by then eighth-grader Maria Curtis.

Curtis, 18, organized the Run for Cake to earn her Girl Scout Silver Award, a community service award.

The Girl Scout with her troop and the Arvada Community Food Bank — now Community Table — to get the project off the ground.

Leaders at the food bank suggested the project fund birthday cake gift bags for Kullerstrand students, Curtis said.

The elementary school receives Title I funding, which the government

allocates for low-income students, and those working on the project hoped to make a positive impact on the school.

Curtis brainstormed ways in which to raise the funds. A runner herself — she participated on Faith Christian Academy’s track and cross-country teams — Curtis decided on a fun run.

“It’s really a huge blessing,” said Tim Weaver, Kullerstrand’s family engagement liaison. “It’s just a nice way for the kids to be recognized that we wouldn’t be able to do otherwise.”

Having graduated from high school this May, Curtis is seeking a successor to take over the fun run.

summer, we just want it to continue,” said Judy Curtis, Maria’s mother, who was one of two leaders of Maria’s Girl Scout troop.

Ideally, another Girl Scout will take over the operation, the Curtises said.

They added that an entire troop or service unit, which is a local group of Girl Scout troops, could also take over the project and divide responsibilities between group members.

Maria encouraged middle-schoolaged Girl Scouts to consider taking over the project.

“I know it sounds young, but that’s the best age to start something like this,” she said.

“We try to do marketing in person,” Maria said. “I reached out to high schoolers, and I went to a lot of running stores.”

She added that her favorite part of organizing the race has been the opportunity to connect with the Kullerstrand students, including a visit she made to the school in January.

“Every kid at the school wrote me a letter. It was really cool,” she said.

The students also gave her a birthday cake gift bag for her January birthday and recognized her during their school awards ceremony.

“In the future, we know she’ll be a success because of her generous heart,” Weaver said.

Curtis hopes to find a successor during June so she can meet with the new organizer over the summer.

“You don’t have to be super organized, and you don’t even have to like running,” Maria said.

“You just have to want to help people,” Judy said.

Operation Purple offers free summer fun to military kids Goal is to help young people cope with stresses stemming from deployment STAFF REPORT

Children of military parents who have been, are or will be deployed are invited to enjoy a week of free summer fun at an Operation Purple camp, which takes place at the all-inclusive YMCA Camp Jackson, open since 1916 on 320 acres in the San Isabel National Forest.

The goal of the Operation Purple camp program is to give military children tools to help deal with the stresses that result from a parent’s deployment through a memorable camp experience in a “purple” environment, according to a news release.

Camp is open to military children of all ranks and services and give priority to children whose parents are in a deployment phase.

The highlight of the week is Wednesday night packout, during which campers pack up their gear

and head out into the woods to spend a night cooking over a campfire and sleeping under the stars.

Learning new skills is one way that campers at YMCA Camp Jackson will grow in confidence and character. Campers choose a skill block (survival skills, horsemanship, marksmanship or mountain sports) and a creative block (the arts, group games, science/ecology or pioneers).

Teen campers have a separate track that includes activities such as high ropes course, rafting and teen village campfires.

The camp for ages 7-17 is June 23 to June 28. For information, contact Douglas Lauritzen at douglas@campjackson.com or 719-543-5151 x301, or LuAnn Lauritzen at info@campjackson.com or 719-924-2276.

Operation Purple Buddy Camp allows military children ages 5-8 to have their Operation Purple Camp experience, understanding that younger kids may not be ready for an entire week of camp away from their family.

Learn more about the camp, or donate to help send military kids to camp, at https://www.militaryfamily.org/programs/operation-purple/ operation-purple-camp/rye-co/

Dinosaur fossils found in Highlands Ranch Bones beneath construction site appear to be triceratops, researchers say

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A dinosaur that once roamed what is now Highlands Ranch met the open air for the first time in more than 66 million years, after a construction crew discovered its bones at a construction site in mid-May. A crew from Brinkmann Constructors building an expansion onto the Wind Crest retirement community near C-470 and Santa Fe Drive happened upon the fossilized bones, said Salvador Bastien, a fossil preparator with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

“We’re really excited they realized they were hitting bones,” Bastien said. “Lots of times, people don’t notice, or if they do, they just keep going.”

Construction crews working on private property in Colo-

Dr. Tyler Lyson, left, and fossil preparator Salvador Bastien, of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, uncover a newly discovered dinosaur fossil at a construction site in Highlands Ranch. COURTESY PHOTO rado are under no obligation to notify anyone or halt work if they find fossils, Bastien said.

Volunteer crews led by paleontologists from the museum will excavate the site in coming weeks, Bastien said, while construction work continues on other parts of the site. The site is not open

to the public.

Though it’s a little early to say for sure, Bastien said the fossils appear to be from a triceratops, a three-horned herbivore that often grew to be 30 feet long and 10 feet tall. The fossils are from the late Cretaceous era, and are likely 66 million to 68 million years old. Dinosaurs

went extinct about 65 million years ago.

Triceratops are among the more common dinosaurs found in what’s called the Denver Formation, Bastien said. The formation was once a broad, forested river system, and triceratops appear to have been plentiful.

“Think of them like bison roaming the landscape,” Bastien said.

How the find will contribute to the scientific record depends on what researchers uncover, Bastien said.

“We don’t have X-ray vision, so we don’t know what else is lying in that hillside,” he said. So far, crews have found arm bones, ribs, and what may be skull bones.

Colorado’s Front Range is rich with fossils, Bastien said, because the geologic uplift that pushed the Rocky Mountains above ground cracked open layers of sedimentary rock that once sat over them, providing remarkable cross-sections of geologic history.

“It’s a really exciting place to be if you’re a paleontologist,” Bastien said.

The find is exciting for Wind Crest as well.

“On behalf of the residents

and employees of Wind Crest, we are thrilled to be part of such an incredible scientific discovery,” Craig Erickson, Wind Crest’s executive director, said in a news release. “We appreciate the invaluable expertise of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and our partners at Erickson Living and Brinkmann Constructors as we work together on this exciting opportunity for all of us to learn more about our earth’s rich history.”

Brinkmann Construction also thanked Wind Crest and the museum in the news release.

“This is a remarkable discovery that our team takes great pride in unearthing,” said David Rahm, a Brinkmann project director.

Bastien said he’s excited to get the fossils back to the museum’s lab, where volunteers will slowly clean them for addition to the museum’s collection.

In the meantime, Bastien encouraged locals to take a close look at their surroundings.

“This is such a wonderful area to find fossils,” Bastien said, “so keep your eyes peeled.”

SPORTS Young Farmers and Demons baseball squads get valuable state experience

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

COLORADO SPRINGS — The bright side of Wheat Ridge and Golden going 0-2 at the Class 4A baseball state tournament May 24 and 25 was the experience both Jeffco squads gained for the future.

“We are going to have a chance again. We are going to reload,” Wheat Ridge coach Adam Miller said after a 3-0 loss to Cheyenne Mountain on May 25 at Vibes Stadium in Colorado Springs. “It’s a bad feeling right now, but hopefully nine months from now we’ll be right back at it.”

The 4A Jeffco League champions were in position to avoid dropping down to the loser’s bracket in a firstround game against Silver Creek on May 24 at Mountain Lion Park on the UCCS campus in Colorado Springs.

The Farmers and Raptors played the closest game in the opening round of the eight-team, double-elimination state tournament.

Silver Creek escaped with a 5-4 victory in eight innings. Wheat Ridge ace Aaron Arcilise was brilliant before hitting his pitch-count limit in the eighth inning. The Raptors had a game-winning inside-the-park home run after Arcilise exited the game on a ball misplayed in the outfield.

“Ultimately yesterday really hurt us.

It put us behind the eight-ball,” Coach Miller said, referring to the 5-4 loss to Silver Creek in extra innings. “Credit to these kids. They continued to compete. We had chances. We just couldn’t get the big hit.”

Wheat Ridge (19-8 record) headed over to Vibes Stadium on the morning of May 25 for an elimination game against Cheyenne Mountain (22-6).

Junior Kyle Radi got the start on the hill for the Farmers.

“I felt a little bit of pressure today, but just had to get through it,” Radi said starting on the mound in an elimination game. “I just wanted to help our team get to the next round. Unfortunately it didn’t go our way.”

Radi had just one bad inning against Cheyenne Mountain. The Indians’ lone offensive damage was a two-out, three-run double by senior Aaron Berkhoff in the bottom of the second inning.

“I missed a pitch right down the middle and he (Berkhoff) took advantage of it,” Radi said of the bases-loaded hit by the Indians’ leadoff hitter. “I walked a few guys that inning too. It’s tough, but it happens to everyone.”

Wheat Ridge had scoring chances in the sixth and seventh innings, but ended up stranding five runners — three in scoring position — in the final two innings. Sophomore Wes Miller

Golden junior Ben McLaughlin will again lead the charge for the Demons during the spring of 2020. Golden finished off this season with an 18-8 record after suffering back-to-back losses to Fort Morgan and Erie in the Class 4A baseball state tournament in Colorado Springs on May 24 and 25. popped up to third base with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to end the game.

“This is a tough one to soak in, especially after yesterday where we overall felt like we were the better team,” said Wes Miller, the coach’s son who along with junior Sam Stahl were the only Farmers to have a multiple-hit day against Cheyenne Mountain. “It didn’t go our way today. We couldn’t swing the bat very well. We had chances. We just didn’t execute.”

The Farmers graduate five seniors.

The biggest losses will be Arcilise — 4A Jeffco MVP — and Tate.

“Arcilise had as good of a year we’ve had maybe since Adam Doyle (Wheat Ridge pitcher who graduated in 2007).

He was huge,” Coach Miller said. “Anthony (Tate) kind of anchored us on the backside (closing games) and was a great centerfield for us and is such a great leader.”

Wheat Ridge does return a big part of its core that won the 4A Jeffco League going 11-1 in conference play.

“We are pretty much juniors and sophomores, so you are hoping those kids can build on it,” Coach Miller said. “Hopefully we can get the same opportunity or chance next year being a year wiser, stronger and improve.

That is the whole goal.”

Coach Miller hopes to have lefty pitcher Cael Yenzer back in the mix next year. Surgery before the season prevented Yenzer from playing this

spring.

“He should be,” Miller said of having Yenzer back. “That was a big loss for us this year, but credit to these guys. We lost probably our second best (pitcher), one of our best outfielders and hitters, but it didn’t talk about it much. We just pushed forward.”

Also pushing forward will be the Farmers’ chief rivals — Golden Demons. Golden also went 0-2 in Colorado Springs at the state tournament.

The Demons suffered a 6-1 loss to Fort Morgan at Vibes Stadium on May 24 and were eliminated with a 11-6 loss to Erie on May 25 at Mountain Lions Park on May 25.

Golden is in a similar position with a lot of returning talent after a solid 18-8 season while handing Wheat Ridge its lone conference loss, a 1-0 extra-inning thriller right before the postseason.

“It’s always fun playing Golden,” Coach Miller said. “They are a lot like us. They have a lot of young guys like us. Jackie (Golden coach Jackie McBroom) does a good job. I’m sure it will be a race to the finish again.”

The Demons only graduate a handful of seniors and return one of the best all-around players in 4A in junior Ben McLaughlin. The postseason experience will motivate and inspire the Demons just as it has with the Farmers.

“We’ll take this as a learning experience and move forward,” said Wes Miller before the Farmers left Vibes Stadium. “We’ll get ready for next year.”
