Fireworks return to Lakewood with a Big Boom Bash STORY AND PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER
A
fter a seven year drought, fireworks returned to Lakewood at its very first Big Boom Bash, held on July 4 at the Jeffco Stadium. The event included children’s activities and games, a community art project, vendor booths and local food trucks catering to long lines of hungry people. There was also a beer garden, and MIX 100.3 radio station was on on-site with prizes and fun. “We wanted to deliver a great Independence Day celebration for the community,” said Michelle Nierling, Heritage Culture & the Arts manager. “This was the vision of the council, and we were happy to help
bring it to life.” Naturally, the big draw of the evening was the 20-minute fireworks display at dark that marked the national holiday was a light show to be remembered. The last time the city had fireworks was in 2011, and according to Ward 1 City Councilmember Charley Able the resurrection of the event happened because of residents like Jackson Wenger, a child who spoke before council about wanting it back. “I told Jackson if I was ever elected, I’d work to get the fireworks back,” Able said. “I’m pleased to see the turnout and all the smiling faces. This is what community is all about.”
It’s game time before the fireworks show at Lakewood’s first Big Boom Bash event at the Jeffco Stadium on July 4.

Former band teacher pleads not guilty to charges of sex assault Geoffrey Adam Banninger is suspected of having sexual relations with a student BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Geoffrey Adam Banninger, 23, entered a not guilty plea with Jefferson County Courts July 2 to charges of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust and sexual assault on a child, pattern of sexual abuse. Both class 3 felonies.
Banninger was a volunteer coach with the Arvada High School Band and part-time band teacher in the Cherry Creek School District when he was arrested on Jan. 7 on suspicion of having sexual relations with a band student who attends Eaglecrest High School in Centennial. At the time of the arrest he was terminated from his
position with the Cherry Creek School District and Jeffco schools prohibited his access to schools and students. The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office contacted the Jefferson County authorities about an investigation into Banninger. InvesBanninger tigators believe Banninger had relations with a 16-year-old female student in his home in unincorporated Jef-
ferson County near Golden. At the time of Banninger’s arrest Arvada High School Principal Gina Rivas said in a letter to parents that the investigation is ongoing but that “it is our understanding that all victims have been identified and interviewed by law enforcement. It is also our understanding that law enforcement does not have an indication that there are additional victims.” Banninger will appear in court again July 30 for a pre-trial conference.

Is the Jeffco Real Estate Market Steady or Cooling?
Given Golden Real Estate’s four new listings this week after a much slower May and June, you might be wondering whether active inventory is growing and sales might be slowing. June’s “Market Trends Report” from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors analyzes the market in 11 metro area counties, so today I’m providing you with figures for Jefferson County only. As shown on the chart at right, the median sold price for Jeffco rose 8.8% over June 2017. Interestingly, the median price dropped significantly from July through the end of
2017, so this June’s median price is actually 13.2% higher than last October, and has kept rising significantly every month in 2018. The number of homes sold this June was actually down over 10% from last June, and the inventory of active listings is also down— over 7.5%. As I write this on Monday, July 9, there are only 1,043 active listings in Jeffco, which is down another 15% from the end of June and down 25% from last July. So, bottom line, the number of active listings is still dropping. As you can see from the chart, the median days on market for Jeffco listings in June was the same as June 2017—6 days. Not shown is the average days on market, which was 17 days, down from 19 days in June 2017. Once again, the large gap between

average and median days on market is the result of many sellers overpricing their homes, resulting in them sitting on the market longer than they should. My headline asks whether Jeffco’s market is steady or cooling. Sellers who overpriced their home might think it’s cooling, but the market is holding steady for homes priced well.

One Golden and one Georgia athlete team up for Big Cycling Adventure Community invited to join training ride in Golden July 15 BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Noah Williams’ happy place is the outdoors. “He was a nature baby who has grown into a nature kid,” said his mother Naomi. And come August, the 9-year-old Georgia resident will embark in a Colorado outdoor adventure with Goldenite Helen Gardner. “Not only will it be fun for him, it will be a joy for me,” said Gardner, 34, an avid cyclist and general manager of Big Ring Cycles in Golden. “His smile will help keep me going and give me strength when things get really hard.” On Aug. 28, Gardner and Williams will be going on a multiday, 158-mile bicycle ride on the West Elk Loop Scenic Byway located near Crested Butte and Gunnison. Williams was born three-and-a-half months premature and has cerebral palsy. Gardner will be pulling him in a trailer on her bike for the entire ride. Currently, Williams weighs about 60 pounds, but he’s in the middle of a growth spurt, Naomi Williams said. With the cart, Gardner
will be pulling a total of about 90-95 pounds, plus her own weight and the weight of her bike. Gardner has been doing much of her training on Lookout Mountain, pulling an empty trailer. But on July 15, she’ll get help from Wheat Ridge athlete PJ Snyder. “Noah is not local so she needed training before his arrival,” said PJ Snyder’s mother Cindy. “We wanted to do what we could to help her.” PJ Snyder, 32, has Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes seizures, spinal curvature and balance issues. He weighs 72 pounds, meaning Gardner will be pulling a total of 104 pounds for the training ride. Snyder is an accomplished athlete — participating in events at least once a month year-round — and has experience with long-distance cycling adventure. Last summer, he and Dennis Vanderheiden, a multi-sport athlete who founded the Fort Collins-based nonprofit Athletes in Tandem, rode together on a 600-mile fundraising ride from the Four Corners to Golden. Athletes in Tandem pairs disabled and nondisabled athletes to compete together in mainstream cycling and running events and triathlons. Gardner and Williams’ ride will support the Kyle Pease Foundation — a Georgia-based nonprofit that helps athletes with disabilities meet their individual goals through sports, and

provides programs such as scholarship opportunities, educational campaigns to create awareness about disabilities and assistance to help athletes purchase medical or adaptive sports equipment. Gardner met Noah and Naomi Williams in October 2015, when she was still living in Georgia. They have since become good friends, Gardner said, and she is looking forward to introducing both of them to Colorado. Naomi Williams has been to Denver once for a conference about 15 years ago, she said, and didn’t get to experience anywhere else in the state. This will be her son’s first trip to Colorado. “They’re both a lot of fun to be around,” Gardner said, adding they’ll probably enjoy Colorado because it’s “a beautiful place.” Doctors told Naomi Williams that Noah would have significant disabilities, and that he would never crawl or walk. But Naomi Williams has always enjoyed the outdoors and wanted to expose her son to as many outdoor activities as possible, she said. And ever since he was about 3 years old, he has participated in 5-and-10K races, half and full marathons and triathlons. “He is a multi-sport and endurance kiddo,” Naomi Williams said. In addition, about six months ago, Noah Williams was able to take a few assisted steps, Naomi Williams said. Naomi Williams is looking forward to the experience, she said, but more the outcome — everyone’s growth because of it, the exposure the athletes will receive, the inspiration that all will feel and the inclusion of pairing a disabled and nondisabled athlete. Gardner describes her cycling adventure with Noah Williams as a “sweet experience.” “I’m really excited to do this,” she said. Along with promoting the inclusion

Gardner’s goal is to raise $10,000 for her Big Cycling Adventure — a self-supported bike ride with a goal to bring awareness to the inclusion of athletes with disabilities. Gardner will be doing the ride with Noah Williams, a 9-year-old boy who has cerebral palsy. Remaining funds raised will go to the Kyle Pease Foundation. To learn more about the organization, visit www.kylepeasefoundation.org. A suggested minimum donation is to participate in the July 15 training ride is $20.

Musical brings theater back to Olde Town ‘Torn’ will take the stage at Gallery 1874 this weekend BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Before raising children, Deanna Giles studied theater and music. Now, as an empty-nester, she is getting back to her passion — which led her to write a full-length musical with 16 songs titled, “Torn.” “Torn” is a musical about a girl in love with a painter in love with a painting. The romantic story unfolds as art comes to life. “Torn” not only features music, dancing and
acting, but there are also several performance art pieces that come to life through the show. “What is fascinating about this show is the variety of music,” Giles said. “There’s ragtime, blues, some with a John Denver-feel, rock….” Giles got the idea for the show after buying two paintings from Denver artist Tony Achilles. “Both of the pieces became central characters in the show,” Giles explained. Achilles also plays the male lead of the painter in “Torn,” which allows the character to paint on stage — a strategic move by Giles. The setting for the production is also by design. The show, which will run
“Torn” runs July 14 and 15 in Olde Town Arvada.

for one weekend, will be performed in Olde Town Arvada’s Gallery 1874. “That space was key in the development of this musical,” Giles said, explaining that the setting of the show was written as a painter’s studio. The history behind the
performance space was also appealing. The historic building, built in the 1870s as a grange hall was transformed into the Festival Playhouse in 1973. “Torn” will be the first play to be performed in that space since Festival Play-
house closed in 2011. “The history of this space is really what makes it breathe,” said David Dean, marketing specialist at Gallery 1874. “We really enjoy exploring ways we can go back to the roots of what this space means to the town and the people that live here.”

To stay open, breweries tap into community spirit Jeffco Library hosts club meetings at WestFax, Colorado Plus BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Colorado is home to more than 300 breweries, and while that makes the state sound like a paradise for aficionados of the drink, that means brewery businesses are facing more and more competition. Lakewood’s Caution Brewing Co., which had been operating for 7 years, closed at the end of June, in part due to market saturation. About 15 of the state’s nearly 350 breweries closed their doors in 2017, according to the Colorado Brewery List blog. To keep an edge on the market, breweries need to be more than places to get a drink, explained Brian Haitz, marketing and operations manager with Lakewood’s WestFax Brewing Company. “Our model is to really become the neighborhood spot for this part of town,” he said. “Instead of trying to bottle a million beers for sale all over town, we want to become a place where people want to come for events, celebrations and anything else the Lakewood community wants to have.”
SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
Many breweries now host events like trivia nights or open mics, but with so many options around, that might not be enough to set them apart from the competition. To that end, WestFax, 6733 W. Colfax Ave., has joined with Wheat Ridge’s
Colorado Plus Brew Pub, 6995 W. 38th Ave., in partnership with Jefferson County Public Library to host BYOB(ook) Groups. WestFax’s group meetings will be on the second Wednesday of the month, going from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and Colorado
Plus’ will be held on the second Monday of the month from 6:30 to 8 p.m. beginning in September. “This has been on my list of activities to try for a while, because I think it will allow us to reach a group that might not necessarily spend a lot of time in the library,” said Jennifer Kim, adult services librarian. “Good breweries have a following of people, and we thought this would also be a good way to reach millennials and younger people.” One of the key features of the groups are flexibility — instead of picking one book for everyone to read, the nights are structured around themes. Examples include a young adult novel with LGBTQ characters, collections of short stories, and a book being adapted into a film. “We tried to select themes that are inclusive and will bring in a range of people,” Kim said. WestFax has worked with nonprofits like the Foothills Animal Shelter in the past and will continue to find ways to reflect the community it has chosen. “A lot of businesses try to spread themselves too thin instead of focusing on serving their community,” Haitz said. “For us, it starts with the product, and then comes down to service. We’re always open to conversations with the community about how what they’d like to see happen here.”

First Colorado case of tularemia in 2018 found in Jeffco STAFF REPORT
A rabbit found in the Golden/Lakewood area has died from tularemia, an uncommon, but serious, infectious disease, according to a news release from Jefferson County Public Health. This is the first positive case of tularemia in an animal in Colorado in 2018, and the first positive case of tularemia in an animal in Jefferson County since 2015. Tularemia is often spread through the bite of infected ticks and deer flies or through handling infected sick or dead animals, such as rabbits or other rodents. Though less common, the disease can also be spread by eating the meat of infected rabbits or by inhaling airborne bacteria or drinking food or water contaminated with urine from an infected animal, the news release said. Though tularemia is rare in Colorado, there are about 200 human cases of the disease in the U.S. each year. Treatment with antibiotics is effective during early stages of the diseases, but if diagnosis and appropriate treatment are delayed, lifethreatening complications may follow. Medical care should be obtained as soon as symptoms appear. Symptoms include fever, non-healing skin ulcer at the site of infection and swollen and painful lymph glands. If the infection is caused by
ingesting contaminated food or water, the symptoms include a sore throat, mouth sores, abdominal pain and diarrhea. If the bacteria is inhaled, pneumonia can develop with symptoms including fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, dry cough and progressive weakness. However, if proper preventive steps are followed, the risk of contracting tularemia is low. Jefferson County Public Health recommends these important steps to prevent exposure: • Don’t feed or entice any rodent or rabbit species into your yard, back porch or patio. • Eliminate places rabbits and other rodents could live or hide, such as piles of lumber, broken cement, trash and weeds around your home. • Make sure that houses and outbuildings are as rodent-proof as possible. Keep foundations in good repair and eliminate overhanging trees from roof and windows. • Avoid contact with all sick and dead rabbits and rodents.

All ticks attached to the body should be removed immediately. Using a pair of tweezers, slowly pull the tick straight out, without twisting, then wash hands thoroughly after removal. • If you hunt or trap rabbits, protect your hands with rubber, plastic or latex gloves while skinning or handling them. Wash your hands using soap and warm water after handling animal carcasses. • Be sure to cook wild rabbit and rodent meat thoroughly before eating. • Note any change in the behavior of your pets (especially rodents, rabbits and hares) or livestock, and consult a veterinarian if they develop unusual symptoms. Do not handle pets that are acting unusual without gloves and face protection, as they may be sick.

WestConnect study recommends improvements for safety, congestion Study considers 30 miles in Jeffco, Boulder
The biggest road construction project to the PEL study area in recent years was “Linking Lookout” in Golden that was completed in the fall of last year. The project eliminated the need for a light at the US 6 and 19th Street interchange, while maintaining pedestrian and bicycle access. The PEL study calls for similar projects along US 6 and Highway 93 to remove the need for intersection lights through the Golden area.
BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A high number of motorist crashes and recurring traffic congestion are just two of the reasons the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) says a study needed to be done on an approximate 30-mile stretch of roadway in Jefferson County. CDOT and the WestConnect Coalition (including county and municipal elected officials and experts) recently completed a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study between roughly Littleton and Boulder. The study included C-470 from Kipling Street to the I-70/U.S. 6 division, U.S. 6 from C-470 to CO 58/CO 93 in Golden and CO 93 from Golden to Marshall Road in Boulder County. The study took 18 months to evaluated ways to reduce congestion, improve operational performance and safety and address future transportation needs for the corridor. Now that the initial PEL study is complete, the next steps will be the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)/30 percent design phase — an environmental assessment and preliminary design. Funding for this has been provided by Colorado’s Transportation Commission for the C-470

Segment and is expected to begin this fall. Two potential transportation infrastructure funding statewide ballot initiatives for November 2018 include a couple of projects recommended in the WestConnect study. These are: full construction funding for the U.S. 285 and Morrison Road interchange, included in the C-470 Segment of the PEL study; and the U.S. 6 and Heritage Road interchange improvements, included in the Golden Section of the PEL study. C-470 Segment: C-470 from Kipling Street to the I-70/U.S. 6 division There are a couple of different highway infrastructure recommenda-

tions for this segment of the road. One alternative consists of having three general purpose lanes and auxiliary lanes in each direction. The second alternative includes having one or two managed lanes plus two general purpose lanes and auxiliary lanes in each direction. Interchange modifications for this section are recommended at Ken Caryl Avenue and Quincy Avenue. Currently, the off ramps from C-470 to US 285 are tight loops. These are recommended to be reconstructed with directional ramps. Access to Bear Creek Lake Park would be moved to the realigned ramp from southbound US 285 to westbound C-470. Two options address weaving traffic along I-70 between C-470 and US 6 to the east. One option is a collector/ distributor road and the other is a braided ramp with westbound I-70 to eastbound US 6 traffic crossing under the ramp traffic from C-470 to eastbound I-70. Golden Segment: U.S. 6 from C-470 to CO 58/CO 93 in Golden There are a number of infrastructure recommendations in the corridor that includes the city of Golden. These include improvements outlined in The Golden Plan, which is meant to accommodate regional traffic needs on U.S. 6 and CO 93. U.S. 6: On U.S. 6, The Golden Plan includes grade separation of the atgrade intersections at Heritage Road and CO 58. An additional eastbound and
westbound lane through the Johnson Road/U.S. 6/C-470 intersection is recommended. From Johnson Road to 19th Street, the median of U.S. 6 would be improved with a four-lane cross section consistent with a 55 mph speed limit. West of 19th Street, the median would be widened and improved consistent with a 45 mph speed limit. CO 93: Intersection improvements recommended are at 58th Avenue and 64th Parkway. Grade-separated turning movements are recommended with the southbound CO 93 left-turning traffic separated from the northbound CO 93 traffic. From CO 58 to Golden’s northern city limit, near the North Table Mountain Park West Trailhead, there would be four travel lanes with a 45 mph speed on CO 93. A four-lane section on CO 93 is also recommended through 64th Parkway. CO 93 would be realigned to the west from south of Iowa Street to north of Golden Gate Canyon Road. Short-term at-grade intersections and long-term grade separations will eliminate all traffic signals. CO 93 Segment: CO 93 from Golden to Marshall Road in Boulder County Highway infrastructure recommendations are presented with two alternatives for this section of the corridor. The first consists of four lanes between Golden and Boulder with signalized intersection improvements. The second includes four lanes from Golden to CO 72 and two lanes with extended passing lanes and signalized intersection improvements with an interchange at CO 72. Two alternatives are recommendations for the 82nd Avenue intersection — at-grade signalized intersection improvements and a signalized, channelized T intersection. At the CO 72 intersection, at-grade intersection improvements are recommended in the short term, and a grade-separated interchange with CO 72 crossing over CO 93 in the long term. The study also presents recommendations for the Westgate Road intersection, the CO 128 intersection and the CO 170 intersection.

As Arvadans kicked off the first weekend in July eating dinner, browsing stores and galleries, listening to live music, and wandering Olde Town, the works of local artisans were on display for the First Friday art walk. The monthly First Friday art walk features an array of displays by local artists in numerous stores and galleries in Olde Town. It offers an opportunity for artists to gain exposure to the general public and for Arvada residents to view local art. Sports cartoonist Drew Litton’s art was on display at Light Rail Gallery.

moved to Colorado in 1982 to work for Rocky Mountain News. Now an Arvada area resident, Litton draws for a few publications, including the Boulder Daily Camera and Mile High Sports magazine. “I love to make people laugh,” said Litton. “I have a mantra, and it’s to make joy. Not enough of it in the world these days.” Light Rail Gallery opened in January 2018 and offers classes, paint and sip sessions, and exhibits of local art. “I think the best thing about my artists is that they’re all wonderful in their own right — give you the shirt of their back type of people,” said Alita McManis, owner of Light Rail Gallery. Numerous local bands also performed in galleries and stores. Inside Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters, jazz band Double Standards played. “This is my secret sideline identity — but don’t worry, everyone knows,” said guitarist David Cooke, who is also Arvada’s presiding judge.

hy does your dog lick your face? You say, “My dog doesn’t lick my face.” Do me a favor, and just play along. Your dog licks your face because it tastes like a ham on rye. How can your face taste like a ham on rye if you’re a vegetarian? It can’t. This isn’t the correct answer. Harry is almost 9 months old, and he still licks my face, especially first thing in the morning. I am undecided about it. It is either a good example of bad parenting, or rather pleasurable. After all, I am a Scorpio.
It makes me think about the queen and her corgis. Do any of them wake the queen with their tongues, as it were? I doubt it. My guess is her corgis are trained before she meets them, and she misses out on all of the fun I am having with Harry. Harry licks my face for a number of reasons, according to everything I have read. It’s a sign of affection. Harry is showing his gratitude. For what? He doesn’t live in a home with an Elvis impersonator.
He doesn’t live in a home with country music. He doesn’t live in a home with cats. He’s grateful because he lives in a home. It means we’re friends. He licks me because there are tiny food particles in my skin? Unfortunately, it’s probably true. It relieves stress. Maybe you know someone who bites their nails. Licking is similar. Harry doesn’t bite his nails. I wish he would. I have to take him to the vet to get it done, and it’s not cheap. Do it myself ? I don’t think he
would sit still long enough. I would end up trimming his nose. Licking releases pleasurable endorphins. His or mine? Some of Harry’s current behavior will be trained out of him, and some of it will end on its own. He’ll grow out of many of the things he is doing now. Truth is, I know I am going to miss some of it. By reason, age, and logic, Harry is my fourth and final dog. He might outlive me. SEE SMITH, P13

Members of the public have opposed the opening of the refuge. The seven school districts that have taken a stance to protect children and disallow field trips to the refuge should be commended. To say that the refuge is safe for living beings, based on outdated studies and a lack of sound evidence, is irresponsible. There are so many things in this world that we cannot protect our children from, but this is not one of them. We can prevent additional harm by keeping the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge closed. Brittany Gutermuth, Boulder

When grandparents must step in
hen because of a variety of serious family problems, grandparents feel they must take over, even adopt grandkids, there are a number of issues to address and places to go for help. First, what all experts agree is grandparents must swing into protective mode. Protect your grandchildren and protect yourself — your physical and mental health, safety, legal status, and financial status. Check with an attorney for a variety of custody arrangements in your state before going any further. Grandparents taking on the task of raising grandchildren are very courageous. That said, here is what can help with the day to day care. Although every family is slightly different, there are protective factors to help the new grandfamily prosper. Grandparents can borrow the knowledge based on many years of study by Drs. David Hawkins and Richard Catalano of
risk factors and protective factors for preventing problems. Grandparents can find out more about the Botvin Life Skills Training, an evidence-based prevention program for schools, families, communities, and places of faith. The information about life training skills is at www.lifeskillstraining.com. LIFELONG In your own grandfamily experts LEARNING finding proEsther Macalady suggest social involvement in the community like Scouts, organized sports, Y, 4-H, faith based clubs, other youth groups, and volunteer to help. Grandkids need recognition for prosocial involvement and behavior. Prosocial means having a positive helpful view toward other people in general. Grandparents can develop a strong family unit with reasonable rules, duties, organization, and responsibility. Provide opportunities for prosocial involvement like helping with the work
load around the house, playing, volunteering, discussing together. Provide recognition for prosocial involvement like praise and hugs. Control technology use. In school, grandparents can participate, volunteer, check homework and school notes and communicate with the teachers. Be a part of school organizations. Be alert. Insure children have opportunities for participation in prosocial learning, volunteering, working hard, studying, helping others, and being involved in many activities that nurture their talents and potential. Find ways for children to receive recognition. Are grandkids learning and using social skills? Establish a moral order of right and wrong in the family. Teach grandkids your faith. Join faith groups and be active as a grandfamily. Search for a school that teaches self- control, self -discipline, responsibility, respect, and helping others.

Do the grandkids interact with prosocial peers? Some grandparents are taking parenting classes, switching schools, and even moving to a different area. However, the change must come from within or grandkids will seek out the same problem peers. The problem is such an epidemic that there are many sites and places for help.

We stand behind Capital Gazette, journalism political spectrum. That is the opposite of what real journalists do. We are the mirror, showing the good, bad and the ugly (hopefully without being ugly). When the press is wrong, critics are right to point it out. But the problem is GUEST critics now often refer COLUMN to anything they disagree with as “Fake News,” and then go on to cite some other, not-always-reliable, source. I’ve always advocated that newspapers and the press should not bristle at criticism but accept it and Jerry Raehal learn from it. We have broad shoulders. We can handle it. But it has gone too far. A line in the Baltimore Sun editorial summed up what I’ve been thinking:
y to-do list can feel overwhelming. But it’s not important. Not when journalists are being shot down in the newsroom in the Capital Gazette in Annapolis. My heart breaks for the victims’ families and friends, and I have to say something. Throughout our country’s history, the press and its role have had champions and critics, and this is as it should be. The press was given tremendous responsibility and was a priority of our Founding Fathers, who placed it in the First Amendment along with Freedom of Speech and Religion. But times have changed. We have moved into a postmodern world, in which — for many — there is no truth but only the truth that fits their narrative. We create our own thought bubbles through social media and friends. Too many of us are seeking the truth we want to believe as opposed to what is there. I see this happening on all sides of the

“That’s why so many reporters across the nation got a sickening feeling Thursday afternoon — they couldn’t believe something like this had happened, except that they could.” So if you’re not a journalist and reading this, let me tell you what I’ve learned about them in the 15 years in the industry — either on the frontlines as a reporter, in management, or working at the Press Association. We are not the enemy of the people. Yes, we make mistakes. When we make mistakes — which is about the only job in the world where you cannot hide from them — we publicly correct them. And for most journalists, they rarely need to make corrections, because they’ve been trained in reporting, sourcing, best practices and ethics. More importantly, we care. The coverage journalists provide is not for a paycheck or fame. We do our job — even in harm’s way — to keep our community informed; our forefathers knew that an
informed community is needed for our republic to survive. Beyond coverage, many newspapers volunteer time and money. They. Are. Here. For. The. People. They are the people. If you’re a journalist or someone working at a news organization, I simply want to say thank you. The very fabric of our country depends on what you do. An attack on a newspaper is an attack on our Republic and Constitution. I’m confident that while these are scary times, we will stand tall. We need to look no further than the Capital Gazette in the wake of the tragedy, as reporter Chase Cook tweeted, “We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow.” And they did. We stand united with Capital Gazette, providing coverage in good and bad times, because it’s right for our communities and for our country. Jerry Raehal is the CEO of the Colorado Press Association.

Climate, incentive program draw storytellers to state BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parker resident Michelle Ullman films an episode of her series, “On the Menu with Michelle Ullman,” at Castle Rock’s 212 Pizza. COURTESY OF MICHELLE ULLMAN
hen Parker resident Michelle Ullman began preparing for the first season of her television show, “On the Menu with Michelle Ullman,” it was important that she “put our fork where our mouth is.” Which meant filming episode one at La Baguette de Normandy in Parker and doing the rest of the 10-episode season in the Denver metro area. “Supporting local should lead by example and start at home,” Ullman said. “There is a wonderful film/TV community here, some of whom I hope to hire on as we grow into making feature films. Denver is primarily a commercial market. We hope to add some film work here.” Ullman is just one example of a growing group of creatives looking to do more filming in the metro area. Denver native Haylar Garcia recently released his third film, a horror movie titled “Apartment 212,” which was shot in the metro area and in his RiNo studio. The movie was released at the Sie FilmCenter in Denver as well as theaters in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Detroit and other major cities. “There are so any great artists in the area that deserve a voice, and so many creative communities that deserve to be employed,” he said. “It just seems like the right thing to do to bring national talent here to be a part of it all.” The Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media works to bring in storytellers of all kinds to the state, including filmmakers, animators, gamers and photographers. The office connects these storytellers to resources they need, like location assistance, crew referrals and inter-governmental cooperation. Perhaps most importantly, the Colorado Office of Film offers an incentive program that provides a 20 percent cash rebate for eligible production costs. The incentive program covers feature films, television pilots, television series, television commercials, music videos, industrials, documentaries, and video game design and creation, as well as other forms of content creation. “Keeping the film incentive active will be a big factor in bringing people to the state,” Ullman said. “Keeping a pool of skilled crew, and talented actors to offer filmmakers here in Denver is also important. The current Colorado incentive is only valid on Colorado residents, so the more we can offer them in crew and talent, the less has to be brought in from out of state.” SEE FILIMING, P17

In the years since that first Red Rocks show, I’ve done more than 430 live paintings at Red Rocks.” Every year, Campbell puts Clarke Reader together a show of his works, and this year the 14th annual Scramble Campbell Red Rocks Art Experience will be on display at the amphitheater, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, through July 22. This exhibit is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., reopening during concerts until the end of the show. The man himself will be available for tours and discussions, and he’ll also be painting at concerts through July 22. “I like to shake up the exhibit based on who is playing a show,” Campbell explained. “When the Avett Brothers or Blues Traveler are playing, the exhibit features previous works I’ve done inspired by their performances.” Red Rocks is unquestionably the best venue in the country, according to Campbell, and he sees what he does as a different kind of performance that nonetheless fits into the venue. “I’m really an artistic and visual musician,” he said. “And there’s a visual thread of the venue that is part of every painting.” To learn more about Campbell, check out www.scramblecampbell. com. ‘Daily Show’ correspondent stops by Comedy Works If you’re a longtime watcher of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” like I am, you know how easy it is to get attached to correspondents, and one of the best in the current iteration of the show is Roy Wood Jr. SEE READER, P17

As anyone who has traveled the state can attest to, the variety of scenery Colorado has to offer is one of the biggest draws for filmmakers, like director William Garrison. He has been working on the pilot for a television series called “Frozen Dead” in Nederland, not far from Golden. “Colorado has some great locations and great history. It provides an excellent backdrop for great movie ideas,” he said. “There is a wealth of creative talent in the Denver area. That alone should attract new productions — plus, we also have a lot of sunshine and four full seasons, unlike L.A.” A trip to any of the many small theaters in the metro area demonstrates there’s a wealth acting talent, and that includes all ages. Despite being so young, 10-year-old Payton Maynard, of Arvada, has already worked in several independent films and is one of the leads in “Frozen Dead.” She recently took to the stage for the first time in the role of the Young Queen Elizabeth II in Aurora’s Vintage Theatre’s production of “The Audience.” “There is obviously going to be double the amount of opportunities to work as an actor in other places like Los Angeles or New York, but I have found a good amount of work here,” she said. “You just have to know how to look for it. I have a fantastic agent and manager that are always giving me opportunities, and I have an amazing mother who works hard to make good connections with people in the film industry.” Maynard’s mother Courtney has been keeping an eye on the Denver film scene as she helps out her daughter and is eager to see how the form will grow in the area. “I would love to see bigger directors take advantage of the amazing talent from crew to cast that all call Colorado home,” she said. “Because the Metro area is so condensed there is a large group of actors and crew that all know each other and network together. Having personally worked with a lot of them, I can say that the Denver scene has some dynamite industry professionals.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Counting Crows at the Pepsi Center Growing up in the ‘90s meant there were some bands that were part of the musical atmosphere of the time. You’d hear them all the time on the radio, see them on MTV and shell out for tickets every time they came to town. One of the better of these groups was the Counting Crows, and they’re hitting the road this summer in honor of 25 years of being a band. The Counting Crows, along with ‘90s stalwart Live, will be stopping by

Over the years, the Counting Crows have released some excellent albums, but their 1993 debut, “August and Everything After” will always go down as their classic.

‘Pink Progression’ exhibition pays tribute to Women’s March events A Center for Visual Art display will continue into August on Santa Fe Drive

The Center for Visual Art, Metropolitan State University of Denver’s gallery, is at 965 Santa Fe Drive, Denver. There is some free parking in front. Hours: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free. 303-294-5207, msudenver.edu/cva.
Turn right as you enter the Center for Visual Art on Santa Fe Drive and admire the sleek pink “Ourobouros,” a huge pink snake, circling to bite its tail, by Emma Hardy and Rebecca DiDomenico. It hangs in the gallery window and in a way, speaks for the entire “Pink Progression” exhibit. It is these two artists’ version of an ancient symbol for cyclicality, recreation of self … “Pink Progression” was inspired by — and celebrates — the two recent Women’s Marches, 2017 and 2018, and is said to “address concepts of human rights, gender, sexual identity, feminism and inclusivity.” More than 50 artists explore social interactions in at least 50 different ways — in paintings, prints, sculpture, drawings, ceramics, video and combinations of techniques, large and small … A visitor becomes fascinated and thoroughly engaged by the many ways of seeing, feeling. The CVA credits local artist Anna Kaye with organizing this large show, which has visited the Boulder Public Library and Denver Public Library prior to its position at the CVA,
through Aug. 19. Art lovers will almost all find something that impresses them on a visit to this varied exhibit, tied together by color and focus. (And no doubt, something that fails to impress, given the wide range of style and technique!) Many works are loaned by the gallery that represents an artist. Near “Ouroborous,” find a couple of walls, papered with a “Domesticated Rat” pattern by Rachel Delaney and Sandy Lane — and individual sheets with a single rat enjoying eating something pink. (Crayons are thoughtfully provided for those who want to color a page to carry home, as did the 20-somethings who accompanied us.) Each artwork has a message or a question or a vision. At the far end of the gallery is Trini Bumiller’s floor-to-ceiling “Monumental,” consisting of 128 panels, painted in oils. Each depicts a national monument, “created to honor and protect places of cultural, environmental and cultural importance,” and each incorporates pink. “The pink hues represent all phases of feminism,” Bumiller

“Ouroborous,” by Emma Hardy and Rebecca DiDomenico, a legendary snake that represents an ancient symbol, hangs at the entrance to “Pink Progression” exhibit at CVA. SONYA ELLINGBOE writes, “from baby blush and sexy hot pinks to reds of passion, rage and love.” We see landscapes, buildings, plants, figures and much more … Katy Caron of Littleton, Arapahoe Community College Ceramic Department chair, collaborated with Marie Perrin-McGraw to craft “Untitled (Shadow Box),” and Sue Simon of Englewood exhibits a large painting, “I Am,” subtitled “DNA Sequence,” in the back right gallery. Simon says “My paintings combine abstraction with science and mathematics — scientific concepts developed from real scientific research. They describe our new understanding of the universe. Paintings are based on combining the elegance of science and the visual richness of art.” Across from Simon’s work, appropriately situated with a place to sit and look — and ponder — for an extended time, is Laleh Mehran’s electronic “Tenuous Hierarchy 1, 10, 100.” A black frame surrounds a screen with constant movement of patterns, accompanied by soft sound. It “explores power across global borders by collocating topography from one country to currency of another. These combinations of foreign structures examine
the control and impact of money on sociopolitical infrastructures.” Readers may recall Mehran’s stunning installation in 2012 at the Denver Art Museum: “Men of God, Men of Nature.” She is on the University of Denver faculty. Julia Rymer Brucker of Littleton exhibits four panels: “Light at St. James.” She also works at the intersection of art and science. “Through art, I uncover the beauty of the natural world,” she wrote, “from a cell to an orbiting planet to a tree shedding leaves …” An Aug. 4 workshop is planned: r “Re-thinking the Pinking,’ with exhibit i artists Steven Frost and Frankie Toan, r from noon to 3 p.m. The hands-on workshop and discussion will address v the symbolism of the iconic pink hat d r of the Women’s March and generate new concepts for more inclusive sym- v bolism. Who does the hat represent/ t exclude? How should we consider a more inclusive symbolism in activism? 1 r Participants will be encouraged to design alternative hats that reflect eachA participant’s own voice in contemplating feminist activism.

But he reminds her that the next sentence is “we hope so, because there’s a good chance we’re all full of garbage.” It’s actually quite complex, and complexity is no vice. I think part of the problem with too many of our current debates is that everybody goes for the 10-word answer that sounds great, when the issue is actually incredibly complex. Americans are looking for a basketball answer to a soccer problem. Take immigration. You want to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and that will solve everything, right? Except that ICE has an incredibly challenging portfolio, including drug traffic interdiction and stopping human trafficking. In fact, there was a farcical scene last week when protesters were picketing an ICE action, thinking it was an immigration round-up, when the reality was the agents were arresting human traffickers and freeing little girls. You want to die on that hill? I think you will find protesting ICE will end up being just about as popular as spitting on soldiers returning from Vietnam. So, just build the wall, right? Have you
seen the logistics involved in that? And, even if you can solve that part, consider how many acres, how many miles, of imminent domain the government is going to have to assert to put parts of the wall private property. And even if you manage that, then what? You have to consider how bad life has to be for a parent, for a mother, to scrape together $3,000 dollars in El Salvador (which probably means selling herself into slavery) to hire a coyote to smuggle her 4-year old child the thousands of miles across lawless desert to be smuggled into the United States for the chance at a better life. Just chew on that for a moment, and then ask yourself if that desperation ends because there’s a wall. What’s much more likely is a two-mile deep refugee camp, a humanitarian crisis of epic proportion, on the other side of the wall from America. Illegal immigration is a problem, but it is not a simple one, and anybody who tells you it is is an idiot. Complexity is not a vice — we need to embrace that, and have more reasonable conversations. Even if that means a few 90-minute meetings that end with only one score. Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children.

he BDT Stage presentation of the charming musical is magical. My granddaughter, Lauren Heaton was very pleasantly surprised to see her old friend, AROUND Cole LaFonte TOWN (Prince Eric) who was our beverHarriet Ford age server. He was joined on stage by The Little Mermaid Ariel (Lillian Buonocore). The entire production was spectacular. It was filled with creativity. Also in the the cast are: Flounder (Chaz Lederer), Sebastian (Anthony P. MGlaun/Kenny Moten), Ursula (Alicia K. Meyers), King Triton (Scott Severtson), Scuttle (Bob Hoppe), Flotsam, (Brian Jackson), Jetsam (Matthew D. Peters), Chef Louis (Scott Beyette), and Grimsby (Brian Burron). The premise of the musical: Ariel, the Little Mermaid, believes in her heart that she is meant to be a human, Prince Eric is thrown overboard from his ship, Ariel rescues him and he ends up on the beach. Eric and
Ariel are flown up to the rafters. Eric then needs to find a bride. He tries to find Ariel with no success, so he decides to hold a contest to find the princess with the best voice. Eventually he finds Ariel; however, Ariel’s evil Aunt Ursula has made a deal with the mermaid and has taken Ariel’s voice. When he relocates Ariel, she can’t speak or sing. She has only a few days to get a kiss from Prince Eric. The costumes are brilliant and reminded me of “The Lion King.” Many puppets are used in the production. “The Little Mermaid” runs at BDT Stage 5501 Arapahoe Ave., in Boulder through Sept. 8, 2018. For tickets and information call the box office at 303-449-6000. As I’ve said in the past, BDT Stage is one of the best entertainment bargains in the metro Denver area.

Players can participate in a variety of beach volleyball games at The Island in Denver.

Game’s reach goes beyond beach Those wanting to play volleyball in the sand find opportunities in metro area BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Shelly Leuenberger temporarily left her love of playing beach volleyball behind when she moved with her family from California to Colorado. However, the Parker resident is playing volleyball again in the sand in landlocked Colorado after finding The Island, a beach volleyball facility in southeast Denver. “There’s no beaches here,” said Leuenberger. “I’m from Hermosa Beach where beach volleyball is major league. I used to play at the beach all the time. “When I moved here 3 1/2 years ago, I gave up the sport and then I found this place. It’s is a little bit different than at the beach but it makes me feel good that I’m back into it.” Beach volleyball is booming around the Denver area, with sand courts at bars, clubs and parks. The Island, 2233 S.Geneva St., has six indoor sand courts, two outside and plans are to add six more outdoor courts. Tom Davenport is the owner and he also owns The Oasis at 2400 W. Midway Blvd. in Broomfield. The Oasis has seven indoor and three outdoor beach volleyball courts. There are leagues at both locations with six-on-six competition, four-
on-four and the popular two-on-two doubles that is seen on television and at the Olympics. There is no ocean, sea or bay around the sand courts in Colorado and players don’t have to worry about elements like the wind off the shore. “What is different than an actual beach is the sand is fluffier and deeper,” said Leuenberger. “The sand is more shallow here and that’s the only difference.” Sand in Colorado is sometimes called “jumpers sand” because the sand on the genuine beaches is deeper, which makes in harder to jump. The popularity of beach volleyball is at least partially because of the inclusivity of the sport. “I found is it is a game that lends itself to coed participation,” said Davenport. “You can play with men and women on a court. It’s a relatively level playing field.” And all players are involved. “It has a high degree of immediate gratification,” Davenport said. “Every time the ball comes over the net, especially in doubles beach volleyball, you get to touch it, you get to pass it, set it or hit it. Every point, every play, you are involved. “In golf, you get to hit the ball 100 times around the golf course and you can be either a hero or goat. Volleyball has that same addiction component because of the gratification.” There are some unwritten rules involved the culture at The Island. For instance, a guy never blocks a lady. “There is a volleyball etiquette you have to know here because some people don’t follow it and they don’t last long,” said Adam Wiedel, of
Castle Rock. “People start getting on their cases.” Wiedel lists several reasons people keep playing beach volleyball. “Some people like the competitiveness and some like the sport, some people like the accomplishment, some like to have the beer and some like to have good friends,” he said. “It is whatever drives them to have fun that keeps them coming back.” Gina Engbarth of Centennial plays 20 hours a week. “It is not surprising anymore to play beach volleyball in Colorado,” she said. “Tom (Davenport) has done so much for beach volleyball in Denver. “You can play year round. I don’t know how much more it can grow because there are so many people involved in the sport but, yeah, I think it will continue to grow here in Colorado and across the U.S.” Kris Bredehoft of Englewood is a player and coach. “The sport is definitely big here,” she said. “Girls are solely going for beach scholarships now, where they used to go for hard court. There are a lot of the same principles but it is a hard transition from hard court to beach. “In hard court, players specialize in a position. In beach, you play every position. It makes you more versatile.” Women’s beach volleyball is recognized as an emerging sport by the NCAA with 93 schools, including 54 in Division I, having varsity teams. Colorado Mesa, a Division II school in Grand Junction, is the only college in Colorado to have a team but several other schools are considering adding the sport.
here will be 120 golfers in the field for the first-ever U.S. Women’s Senior Open that starts July 12 but there is more to this story. Centennial resident Janet Moore is probably tired of hearing the above play on words, but the 53-year-old is a Colorado Golf Hall of Famer who will enter her 26th U.S. Golf Association tournaOVERTIME ment. “They (USGA tournaments) were all a big thrill,” said Moore. “It’s always my goal to qualify for them. My goal someday is to do well in Jim Benton one of them. The furthest I’ve gone is the quarterfinals in a Mid-Amateur. Right now this tournament would be the one that sticks out the most. This is against pros and really, really good players. It will be fun. I’m just going to go out and have fun and try to play my best.” The tournament will be at the Chicago Golf Club, one of the five founding clubs of the USGA and the oldest course in the U.S. in continuous use at the same location. The course will be 6,082 yards and play to par 73. Moore, who attended Wheat Ridge High School, shot a 74 on June 12 at Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora to qualify for the inaugural Senior Women’s Open. She won a Colorado-record four consecutive CGA Women’s Stroke Play titles and five overall. Moore was inducted into the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame in 2001 when she was only 36 years old. Moore was one of four golfers to qualify from the June 12 tournament. Valley Country Club teaching professional Sherry Andonian-Smith and part-time Gunnison resident Marilyn Hardy also qualified along with Patricia Beliard from Katy, Texas. “I’m very excited they are having the first U.S. Senior Women’s Open,” she said. “A lot of people say it is long overdue and as an amateur for me it is a bonus. “Once I heard they were having it, I set my sights on qualifying for it. There is something very special about a USGA event. As an amateur it allows you to play at a high level. And you get to play with great players from other states and across the country.”

Study finds coffee drinkers may live longer 10-year British overview raises intriguing possibilities BY LINDSEY TANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS
CCM18
Go ahead and have that cup of coffee, maybe even several more. New research shows it may boost chances for a longer life, even for those who down at least eight cups daily. In a study of nearly half-a-million British adults, coffee drinkers had a slightly lower risk of death over 10 years than abstainers. The apparent longevity boost was seen with instant, ground and decaffeinated, results that echo U.S. research. It’s the first large study to suggest a benefit even in people with genetic glitches affecting how their bodies use caffeine. Overall, coffee drinkers were about 10 percent to 15 percent less likely to die than abstainers during a decade of follow-up. Differences by amount of coffee consumed and genetic variations were minimal. The results don’t prove your coffee pot is a fountain of youth nor are they a reason for abstainers to start drinking coffee, said Alice Lichtenstein, a Tufts University nutrition expert who was not involved in the research. But she said the results reinforce previous research and add additional reassurance for coffee drinkers. “It’s hard to believe that something we enjoy so much could be good for us. Or at least not be bad,” Lichtenstein said. The study was published July 2 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. It’s not clear exactly how drinking coffee might affect longevity. Lead author Erikka Loftfield, a researcher at the U.S. National Cancer Institute, said coffee contains more than 1,000 chemical compounds including antioxidants, which help protect cells from damage. Other studies have suggested that substances in coffee may reduce inflammation and improve how the
body uses insulin, which can reduce chances for developing diabetes. Loftfield said efforts to explain the potential longevity benefit are continuing. Adam Taylor, fetching two iced coffees for friends recently in downtown Chicago, said the study results make sense. “Coffee makes you happy, it gives you something to look forward to in the morning,” said Taylor, a sound engineer from Las Vegas. “I try to have just one cup daily,” Taylor said. “Otherwise I get a little hyper.” For the study, researchers invited 9 million British adults to take part; 498,134 women and men aged 40 to 69 agreed. The low participation rate means those involved may have been healthier than the general U.K. population, the researchers said. Participants filled out questionnaires about daily coffee consumption, exercise and other habits, and received physical exams including blood tests. Most were coffee drinkers; 154,000 or almost one-third drank two to three cups daily and 10,000 drank at least eight cups daily. During the next decade, 14,225 participants died, mostly of cancer or heart disease. Caffeine can cause short-term increases in blood pressure, and some smaller studies have suggested that it might be linked with high blood pressure, especially in people with a genetic variation that causes them to metabolize caffeine slowly. But coffee drinkers in the U.K. study didn’t have higher risks than nondrinkers of dying from heart disease and other blood pressure-related causes. And when all causes of death were combined, even slow caffeine metabolizers had a longevity boost. As in previous studies, coffee drinkers were more likely than abstainers to drink alcohol and smoke, but the researchers took those factors into account, and coffee drinking seemed to cancel them out. The research didn’t include whether participants drank coffee black or with cream and sugar. But Lichtenstein said loading coffee with extra fat and calories isn’t healthy.

Arvada Kmart to close doors The store is the last in the Denver metro area BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Kmart on West 58th Avenue in Arvada has survived several rounds of store closures. Kmart in Englewood closed in November leaving Arvada as the last metro area location. But this time, it didn’t make the cut. The store will close its doors Sept. 2. “I think it’s a horrible idea,” said James Vaughn, an Arvada resident and Kmart advocate. “I think Walmart keeps coming in here and ruining all these little stores.”
Vaughn shops at the Arvada Kmart about three times a week for all his household needs. It’s his go-to store. “I happen to love Kmart — I was raised on it,” he said while standing in the parking lot after a shopping trip. A neon yellow sign that reads “store closing” reflected in the sun behind him. Sears Holdings, the struggling department store chain which owns Kmart, announced at the end of May that it would close another 72 Sears and Kmart stores as sales plummeted. A notice from the company said sales dropped 31 percent in the most recent quarter, leading to a loss of $424 million. Sales have fallen for more than six straight years, despite efforts to revamp stores. “I believe we were lucky to have it stay open as long as it did,” said
Maureen Phair, executive director of the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority of the Arvada store. “We’re sad to see it go, but again we feel fortunate that it stayed that long for the employees and the people that shop there.” Kmart in Arvada, which leases the space from an investment group out of California, WLA Investments, is within the Ralston Fields Urban Renewal Project Area. Phair met with the property owners to discuss what they would like to see in the space moving forward. “I did tell the property owners that the one thing Arvada Urban Renewal does not want to see is a vacant big box store,” Phair said. The property is zoned for singlestory auto retail, but Phair said AURA would be happy with retail, residential, mixed-use or hospitality.

“We are open to all of the above and would like to see it redeveloped,” Phair said. In Englewood a developer is looking to convert the newly vacant Kmart into self-storage and fitness with 40,000 square foot marketed to small retail and restaurant. “We’re dedicated to trying to find a solution to keeping it from being a vacant site,” Phair emphasized. “We are not in control, so we need to work with the property owners.” That urban renewal area has recently seen improvements including the Arvada Plaza, the new Super Walmart, Safeway and Arvada Square. “We have done so much work in that market,” Phair said. “We don’t want to take a step backward when we’ve been moving forward in that area.”
