40 West Arts District receives $100,000 grant Creativity Lab for aspiring entrepreneuers also launched

By Clarke Reader creader@colorado communitymedia.com There are things happening in the 40 West Arts District people can see — the murals and statues that add color and character to businesses.

But there’s also devel-

opments most can’t see, opportunities that make it possible for 40 West to grow in new directions.

Recently, the district has seized two opportunities for more creative exploration.

The City of Lakewood and 40 West received a $100,000 Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and announced the formation of a lab to help inspire and educate the next generation of creative industry entrepreneuers.

“We’re having all these great milestones for our

community,” said Bill Marino, chair of 40 West. “It’s an honor for us to receive these investments in what we’re doing.”

WHAT IS 40 WEST?

A glimpse of the people in our community

SABRYNA SILVA Lutheran Medical Center nurse and Cochran Award winner About me …

I am 27-years-old, and was born in Denver and raised by my father, Robin Johnson. My biological mother moved to California when I was a baby and have had minimal contact with her. Luckily, my dad was not alone. He had a lot of help from friends and family to help look after me.

I graduated from Northglenn High School 2006. I am married with three children — two girls, and one boy.

My career in nursing …

My grandmother in New Hampshire worked as a licensed practical nurse, and her line of work seemed to fit my interests.

I started my first certified nursing assistant job at Colorado Lutheran Home in Arvada in 2007. In mid-2009 I experienced a friend declining from renal cancer at the young age of 24 and passed away at the Lutheran Hospice at the Collier Center in Wheat Ridge. The experience sparked my interest in hospice care.

Within a month of his passing I interviewed and transferred to the Collier Center. I worked on my pre-requisite courses at the Community College of Denver and was accepted into an accelerated associate degree nursing program at Concorde Career College.

My passion is caring for the terminally ill in all aspects, listening to their stories, holding their hand, singing praise, bathing and caring for them, providing medications for comfort, and preparing for the natural dying process. It’s also very important to support and provide reassurance to families.

The Cochran Award...

The Cochran award recognizes exceptional care of oncology and hospice patients.

This year, when I got the call from my manager, I just cried in awe. It was such an incredible, yet overwhelming feeling to receive such value and praise. This award really means a lot to me.

I was nominated for this award last year and really enjoyed participating in the breakfast and ceremony. It was very touching to be present, hear the other nominees’ stories and wonderful things said about their care and work.

Blues & BBQ Festival benefits Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity’s 19th annual Blues & BBQ Festival takes place 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 13 at Citizen’s Park, located at 24th and Benton Street, in Edgewater.

The event features nine blues and rock bands, 70 retail booths and five local breweries. Proceeds benefit Denver’s Habitat for Humanity.

For more information, visit www.bluesnbbq.com.

Tickets cost $10 for adults and children 12 years and younger are free.

Backyard astronomy offeredby Jeffco Open Space Jefferson County Open Space Nature and History Programs is offering an astronomy program from 7:309:30 p.m. Aug. 13 at Bear Creek Lake Park, 15600 West Morrison Road in Lakewood. The program will take place at the visitor center/amphitheater.

No registration is required. The program is free, but a park entry fee applies.

For more information, visit www.lakewood.org/ BCLPEvents. Additional questions can be answered by contacting Bear Creek Lake Park at 303-697-6159 or BCLP@Lakewood.org.

My future goals ...

I look forward to continuing to advance in my career as a hospice and palliative care nurse. I feel it is very important to continue to keep learning, use research and theories in nursing practice and continue to be open to the future of healthcare, nursing and technology.

I hope that I can inspire people to work towards their goals, and while doing so, lay the framework for the next goal.

The state of the trails Lakewood solicits cycling route input from residents

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The good news is Lakewood has a very comprehensive cycling trail system already in place.

The major work comes in connecting the trails already in place to make travel easier.

That’s according to Bill Mahar, senior associate with Norris Design, described things at the City of Lakewood’s second public meeting about its paved trails on July 27.

“We’ve gotten incredible feedback from residents so far,” Mahar said. “Lakewood’s riders have been really supportive and positive during the project.”

Here are the highlights from the meeting: 1. The background: Lakewood is completing an assessment of the condition of five major trail corridors, how they connect and what can be done to improve the trails. The corridors include Bear Creek Trail, Kipling Parkway Trail, C-470 Trail, Alameda Avenue/Parkway Trail and West Line (13th Avenue) Trail.

This project is funded in part by Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Trails Program, and a grant from Great Outdoors Colorado, and focuses on the city’s recreational trails system.

“We started this project in April, and the first half focused on the condition of existing trails,” Mahar said. “We had around 250 respondents to our survey about Lakewood’s trails, and the No. 1 thing we heard was better connectivity and wayfinding.”

In their research, Mahar and Norris Design found the city has about 3,000 feet of missing trail links and 2,300 feet of

deteriorating trails.

The meeting also considered connections for smaller parks, like Weir Gulch from Pierce Street to Sheridan Boulevard, Green Mountain Recreation Center to Alameda Parkway, Coyote Gulch from West Yale Avenue to Morrison Road and Kipling Street from Colfax Avenue to Crown Hill Park.

“The primary purpose of the survey is prioritizing the projects for the city,” explained Ross Williams, facilities planner with Lakewood. “We’re considering everything from the ease of work, to ownership and price.”

With Lakewood’s population on the rise, creating alternative travel options is going to be key to cutting down on traffic and congestion, said Gary Harty, cyclist and founder of Lakewood’s Bicycle Advisory Team.

“I appreciate what the city is doing by looking at connectivity,” he added. “If we focus entirely on auto options, and single family housing is on the rise, we’re going to have all kinds of traffic problems.”

Cyclists in attendance had specific questions about the trails they use every day, projects that aren’t on the city’s list, and the timeline for work.

“We ride a lot, not just for recreation, but for errands and work,” said Doug Andersen, who attended with Miki Stuebe.

One of the issues Anderson and Stuebe were particularly interested in included better north-south connections, something many other attendees voiced support of.

“One of the reasons we love living where we do is because of the connections, and we’re glad they’re look at this,” Stuebe added.

Input from residents and cyclists will be incorporated into a document to be presented to the city. The report will also analyze potential projects for priority and expense.

Why Should Buyers Look for Homes When Inventory Is So Low? Consider This.

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®

It’s well documented that the inventory of homes for sale is at historic lows. Just look at the 5-year chart at right of active listings from Denver’s MLS, REcolorado.com. The green line represents the number of active listings.

However, look at that lower line which seems largely unchanged over the past five years. That’s the number of new listings being entered on the MLS. In other words, it’s not that there’s nothing to buy, it’s just that the homes are going under contract so quickly. That’s demonstrated by the second chart, where the green line represents the number of sales each month and the blue line represents the median days on market.

Thus, your dilemma as a buyer is how to know when a new home is listed and how to win the competitive bidding for that listing.

Fortunately, today’s MLS makes it possible

for your agent and you to know within 15 minutes when a new listing matches your search criteria. Your challenge is to see these homes quickly and be ready to make an offer.

Having done that, you need an agent who can structure your offer to beat out any competition.

Let’s address these tasks/challenges one by one. Knowing about the listings right away is

‘Grace’ Period on Your Monthly Mortgage Payment Isn’t Free Most homeowners with mortgages know that their mortgage payment isn’t “”late” until the 10th or 15th of each month, but what they may not realize is that they will owe interest for the days between the first and when they pay.

It’s easy to think those days are free because your mortgage payment is the same whether you pay on the first of the month or the 15th of the month. However, the lender keeps track of your payment dates, and you will find —

if you keep the same mortgage until it’s paid off — that your final payment is bigger because of all that extra unpaid interest.

Let’s say that the principal component of this month’s payment is $800 and you pay on the 10th of the month. You owe 10 days’ interest on that $800 which will accumulate over time as you keep paying on the 10th of the month. At payoff time, you will have to pay that accumulated interest expense.

South Lakewood Condo Has 2 Master Bedrooms This 2-bedroom/2½-bath condo at 9972 W. Jewell $298,000 Avenue, Unit B, not only has two master bedrooms, it also has a fenced yard and 2-car attached garage — features you don’t see in many condos. The 15building, 45-unit complex is called Lakeview Estates because it is across Jewell Avenue from Kendrick Lake. This particular building is in the middle of the complex, so it has no lake view, but that makes it more isolated from the traffic noise of Jewell Avenue.

As you’ll see in the narrated video tour I posted at www.LakeviewCondo.info, the home is in move-in condition. The wall-to-wall carpeting and ceramic tile floors are in like-new condition, and the blinds and drapes as well as all appliances (including washer & dryer) are all included. I will be holding it open this Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m..

easy. We set you up on the MLS with the proper search criteria and check “ASAP” for notifications. You will get emails immediately as each listing comes on the market. The alerts are “mobile friendly” so you can look at them on your smartphone, not just your computer.

Being ready to “pull the trigger” can be more complicated. If you own a home, there are several strategies you can employ to avoid making that home a contingency in the contract that we prepare. For example, I’ve had several sellers take out a HELOC (home equity line of credit) against their current home (which they want to sell) so they can pay cash for their replacement

home, or at least have a small loan. This allows them to put their home on the market only after they have gotten under contract for their replacement home. This is just one strategy.

Buyers have an understandable fear of selling their current home and being unable to buy a replacement home. This and other strategies can avoid that end result.

No agent can guarantee success in winning the contract against competing offers. However, we at Golden Real Estate have a pretty good track record. One of our not-so-secret weapons is our free moving truck — we just bought a second one — and our willingness to provide totally free moving (labor, gas, moving boxes) to the seller if they accept our buyer’s offer.

In today’s seller’s market, it’s common for buyers to include escalation clauses in their contracts, offering to pay $1,000 or more above the best competing offer. Because of our offer to totally free moving (metro area only, of course), we usually only offer to match the highest competing offer, thereby saving our buyers at least $1,000 on the purchase price. The free moving, or course, is at Golden Real Estate’s expense, not our clients’.

Solar-Powered Home Is Close to Downtown Golden This log-style home at 401 Garden Street is on a quiet cul-de-sac less than a half mile from Clear Creek, the Colorado School of Mines, and downtown Golden. With its solar PV array, two solar thermal units, LED lighting and other sustainable features, this home has a net zero energy bill, as explained in the narrated YouTube video tour at www.JeffcoSolarHomes.com. Not only does energy from the sun power the house, but it also $498,000 provides 16,000 miles of electric driving for the seller’s Nissan Leaf and Zero electric motorcycle. Included in the purchase price are all appliances — even the Level 2 car charging station in the garage. Open House Saturday, Aug. 6, 2-4 pm.

LAKEWOOD POLICE BRIEFS

HometownIMPRESSIONS

Officer involved shooting at apartment complex Lakewood police are investigating the situation involving a shooting on July 31.

Police received a call at about 10:15 p.m. of a suspect, identified by police as Eric James St. George, with a gun at the Windsor Apartment complex, located in the 8100 block of West Eastman Place.

The original caller said they were leaving a party and a male with a gun chased them.

Officers arrived on scene and started to conduct a search of the complex. They said they found St. George with a gun inside an apartment. The officers began negotiating with him, but he refused to come out without the gun.

Eventually St. George came out with the weapon and was shot, police said. He was taken into custody and transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

There were no injuries to officers or civilians in the area.

St. George is recovering in the hospital, and will be taken into custody once he is able, according to Lakewood police public information officer Steve Davis.

Police are in the midst of investigating the situation, along with the Jefferson County Critical Incident Response Team.

Excercise break at Sloan’s Lake

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Even during the hottest time of a summer day, people are working up a sweat at Sloan’s Lake.

On a late July afternoon when you can start sweating just by walking into the sun, fitness nuts and athletes push themselves in a variety of ways.

Runners, jogger and walkers of all levels and ages are the most evident, using the more than two miles around the lake as the perfect training and conditioning route. With all the water fowl in and around the lake, it’s easy to see why Sloan’s Lake is also a favorite spot for dogs, even if those leashes pull owner dangerously close to the water when pursuing ducks.

Taking to the paths around the lake is a perfect reminder of the importance of multi-modal use etiquette. “On your left!” is a common call as cyclists whizz by, and sometimes a quick leap to the right is the only thing behind a near miss between

a cyclist and walker.

Other park visitors take a more stationary, but no less intensive, approach to exercise.

Getting a tan and stretching out at the same time, people doing yoga make use of the cool grass as a natural cushion while deliberately moving from one pose to the next. What seems like an easy workout is belied by twitching muscles and heavy breathing.

Plus, it has to be hard to locate one’s center of balance with blaring stereos and backfiring cars constantly in the background.

For all this, perhaps the wisest people in the park are those who nip away from work for a quiet lunch in the shade of one of the trees. With the Denver skyline spread out before them, grass underfoot and a little breeze of the lake, it’s a perfect spot for a bite.

But first, one more lap.

Shooting at a residence being investigated Lakewood Police are investigating a shooting at a residence July 28.

The shooting took place in the 2400 block of South Hoyt Court and involved bondsmen serving warrants to Jamie Rauhat, police said.

Police began receiving calls just after 9 p.m. saying a person had been shot inside the residence. Officers arrived and found two people had been shot. Both were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The initial investigation showed a felony warrant was being served by several bondsmen to Rauhat inside the residence. Police said one of the bondsmen was shot and Rauhat was shot.

Lakewood police report the county District Attorney is examining the case.

college and Colorado Creative Industries, all collaborated to develop the Creativity Lab of Colorado. The aim of the lab is to foster new creative industry businesses and new jobs, and educate entrepreneurs and the next generation.

“This was a very natural relationship for us,” said Ruth Holden, chair of Business for the Creative Industries department at RMCAD. “Students will be able to work in and observe the work going on in the lab. Plus, they’ll be around all these creative masterminds.”

The Lab will have three focus areas: the Creative Business Incubator, providing guidance for individuals with new business or product concepts and earlystage startups; the Community Design Studio, which will work with both private enterprises and public entities to provide a guide to bringing business ideas to life; and the Institute for Creative Community Leadership, which marries community development with creative organizational dynamics.

“We want to build businesses through community transformation,” Marino said. “We want to create community leadership that will serve the broader creative community in the state.”

The first workshops and events associated with the Creativity Lab will be announced this month.

“In our research, we found incubators like this that are associated with colleges and education are the most successful,” Holden said. “Our students will be able to

have fun while learning about an industry still in development.”

Our Town grant The city and 40 West worked together to secure the $100,00 Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the largest amount awarded under the Our Town program.

“The Our Town grant in an annual program, and very competitive,” said Alexis Moore, principal planner with the city.

“It was a really strenuous and thorough process, and we’ve worked with the community for years on this project.”

The NEA received 240 applications this year and made awards ranging from $25,000 to $100,000.

The funds will go to the implementation of an “Arts Loop” around the northeast section of the city, highlighting 40 West and West Colfax and featuring Walker Branch, Mountair Park and Aviation Park.

“We’re going to be using existing trails for the loop, so the money will go to getting iconic public art to showcase,” Moore said. “We’re working with a public art consultant on the project, and we’re going to be at a lot of events getting the public involved.”

Work kicks off this month, Marino said, with a steering community made up of a cross-section of stakeholders. He added one of the most important benefits of the loop is its support of the local economy by bringing travelers to area businesses.

“That we received the highest possible grant amount says a lot about the collaboration we have going here,” Moore said.

“We’re re-energizing the area, and people are excited about what it can become.”

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer

Denver- Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain?

Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake.

Sounds crazy?

Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say.

That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life.

When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again.

Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state?

Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy.

And lack of motion can be very detrimental.

Without motion joints become “sick.” And in theory exercising should help knee arthritis.

But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs.

Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes.

Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out.

You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either.

What’s the answer?

In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary.

With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated.

The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.

But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

directly into your knee joint.

This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid.

And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many experts believe it helps lubricate the joint.

Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.

And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with

less or no pain - specific exercises can be a tremendous help.

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain.

This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results.

So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse - you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse.

And that’s the last thing you want to do.

What are the two “smart moves?”

If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all.

And the results can be dramatic.

If you are thinking about

giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technology such as fluoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections.

Research shows that without fluoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time.

Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work.

If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible.

So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse.

And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 720-500-1045.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking.

There is only 48 hours to go.

If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now.

Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief.

Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program.

The SecretTo Success?

The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy.

Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating.

This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment.

And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed.

What Is This Treatment?

This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this...

When you have knee arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most

Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”

Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging

Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of holistic digital imaging to guide the injection.

This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.

pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual.

Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program.

All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-

swered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain.

But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief

Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours.

If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain?

So call 720-500-1045 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community.

And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 720-500-1045.

If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

A vacation’s unexpected lessons Somewhere in my ancestry is a guy named Murphy who I’d like to go back and punch in the throat.

By way of explanation, here is a list of all the things I learned last week on our family vacation that I hadn’t planned on learning: • Never wake up the whole family at 5 in the morning so that you can get sunrise photos. Even if the clouds set up just right, and you have every reason to expect a beautiful sunrise at one of the most photogenic places in the country, the sun has a funny way of deciding all on its own whether it’s going to cooperate. And members of the family who don’t experience vacation through the lens of a camera tend to not appreciate when things like that don’t work out.

• Never take for granted that the hotel booking service has any idea what the actual hotel rooms look like. Five people do NOT fit in a room with two queen beds and . . . curtains.

• Don’t get your hopes up about the reaction your family is going to have after a sixhour car ride. No matter how cool you think your news is, a zombie-like “oh” is about all you can really hope for.

• If you go someplace specifically for the

swimming pool, make sure you ask if they’re planning on draining the pool while you’re there. I know— wouldn’t have been my first thought, either.

Trust me, you never know.

• If there’s a guy in your ancestry named Murphy, odds are Michael Alcorn there is no amount of sunscreen that can HITTING possibly prepare you HOME for three hours in the mountain sun on a river. Just assume the worst and wear a full-body cast.

• Always a good idea to have large, easily-held, easily-disposed-of waterproof containers in the car. If they have soundcanceling technology, all the better. If you know what I mean.

• Don’t assume that, because you’ve done road trips before, and they’ve always gone well, that they will continue to go well.

Road trips are great events for a family, especially in a region with as much scenic

value as Colorado and the great southwest.

But many hours together, traveling by car, leaves many opportunities for things to go wrong. Sometimes, the best-laid plans get reduced to mad scrambles in the blink of an eye.

• But most importantly, never underestimate a family’s ability to take events in stride, find the humor in everything, and have fun in spite of a plan falling to pieces. Of course, it helps if one of the main sources of humor is you—more specifically, if you don’t mind being the butt of a few jokes along the way. Something about a common enemy…

I am very blessed and grateful that my family not only is willing to take on these great, silly adventures with me, but also that they do it with a spirit of openness and good humor. And, along the way, we all get to experience Arches, Moab, the Grand Canyon, the Four Corners and Pagosa Springs together.

And Murphy, you can eat your heart out!

Building a (personal) political platform As an author, I’m supposed to have a “platform.” That is, I’m supposed to have a website, a blog or two, and a social media base that numbers in the tens of thousands – if not the hundreds of thousands – of followers. Authors build their platforms for multiple reasons, such as to demonstrate to publishers that we could, in fact, deliver fans who would buy our books.

Another reason is to promote and sell work we’ve already had published.

I do not have said platform. I had a website that once said “Something cool is coming soon” for so many years that I finally hid it. My LinkedIn profile pretty much takes its place. And the books I’ve authored are mostly out of print, but you (or I) could pay big bucks for them on Amazon. I rarely look at Facebook these days, and, as of today, I was seven people short of 2,000 followers on Twitter. But I’m going to get serious about my platform soon. Really.

Andrea Doray

ALCHEMY

Another type of platform has all my attention at the moment, though.

After two weeks of following political conventions and sifting through party platforms, I’ve decided that I need to articulate my own personal political platform, what I believe would keep our nation moving forward. (Note: It’s already – and still –

great.)

Here goes: • Don’t run with scissors. Even though I once considered such behavior “edgy,” I now see it as unnecessary risk in a world where risk is not only sometimes neces-

sary, but often imperative. Sure, we might hurt only ourselves, but it’s likely we could take others down with us if we get tripped up. Who wants someone like that around?

• Use turn signals. Seriously, using our blinkers is just common courtesy. And more importantly, we’re signaling our intentions, providing transparency about our actions. The alternative, of course, is suddenly turning in front of someone who is trusting us to keep going ahead, causing them to slam on their brakes or possibly crash, through no fault of their own. Even worse would be signaling a turn and not making it, or going in the opposite direction. It’s a simple matter of trust, of doing what we say we’re going to do.

• Don’t talk with our mouths full. Even if we feel we must speak before we swallow – or if we’ve bitten off more than we can chew – can’t we just wait a couple of darn minutes? We’ll ease everyone’s digestion a little bit if we pause before spewing.

• Use spellcheck. (And not just in online comments, either.) Or, better yet, take the time to look stuff up. Understand what it is we’re truly attempting to communicate. We might learn whether we’re actually saying what we think we mean to say. Oh, and we might do some fact-checking along with our perfecting our sentence structures.

• Always stay humble and kind. “Don’t steal and don’t cheat and don’t lie. Hold the door. Say please. Say thank you.”

(Thank you to Tim McGraw.) Yes, we’ve got mountains to climb, but it takes much longer to get there when we’re clawing over each other on the way up.

There you have it, my (personal) political platform. What’s yours?

Bond request to invest in our schools In June, the Jeffco Board of Education asked the district staff to prepare a rather large mill/bond package to be placed on the November ballot for 2016. This is a big decision, but we as a Board have a responsibility to the citizens of Jefferson County to ensure each child has a good teacher, learns in a safe environment and that we provide students with the instruction and skills necessary for success in college and the workplace.

This bond package would result in an infusion of $568 million to be used to improve the buildings that house our students every day. The average age of our buildings is approximately 45 years.

Our investment in buildings over the past decade has not allowed Jeffco to keep up with much needed basic maintenance and repairs to our facilities. This includes heating and plumbing, roofs, and wiring for new technology. We need to invest more money in maintenance to protect the large investment our taxpayers have already made to build these buildings.

Over the past several weeks, we held 12 community meetings and two tele-town halls to listen to community feedback regarding the facilities plan for our district.

We heard you loud and clear.

Our neighborhood schools are an important asset to the Jeffco community.

This infusion of capital dollars will be used to make major renovations or additions to 23 schools and address maintenance and upkeep issues in every one of

our schools. Additionally, we would be able to build three new schools in areas of Jeffco that are experiencing rapid residential growth.

From an interest rate point of view, this is the right time to move forward to Ron Mitchell ensure our students and our schools are GUEST prepared for the 21st century.

COLUMN The state has underfunded Jeffco by about $80 million per year for the last six years and we do not see any relief on the horizon. This fact causes me to think it is time for us to act locally to provide our students with the education they deserve. The mill levy override the Jeffco Board of Education is proposing would increase operating funds by $33 million per year.

The $33 million operating fund increase would allow our compensation to be more transparent and competitive, greatly increase operating funds to all schools, improve our safety and security program, and improve our ability to deliver mental health services to our students.

Jeffco has a long record of commitment to academic excellence and accountability. Currently, we are losing

experienced teachers to other districts because we lack the ability to offer competitive compensation. If we are to remain a lighthouse district in the metro area, we must retain and recruit great teachers for every classroom and give every student access to programs such as STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), the arts, music, and hands on learning.

Some people have asked me “Why not wait a year or two to do this?” It’s simple, the students in our schools right now should benefit from the best teachers and the strong curriculum the initiative will allow us to pursue. The need is now and we have already delayed too long.

When I was elected, I promised that I would listen to the citizens of this district.

We are all in this together and I value your

ideas, solutions and yes, criticisms. Please visit www.jeffcopublicschools.org and let us know what you think. There is more information and an opportunity submit comments.

It is time for us to take control of the future of our school district and improve our schools. Collectively we can ensure a bright future for our students now. I ask you to support our Board’s decision to take bold steps to make sure our students continue to receive a high quality education and are prepared for college and the world. Your support will ensure that Jeffco continues to be a quality place to live, work, and raise a family.

Ron Mitchell is the president of the Jefferson county Board of Education.

By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

n most Christian churches, music is an important part of worship — it can help form a great connection between the congregation and the Lord.

One reason for that is to be joyful, said Sue Singleton, music committee moderator at Westminster Presbyterian Church.

“We want to be joyful,” she said, “and praise the Lord through joy.”

When there’s music involved, Singleton said, “people feel God’s presence, both through listening and participation.”

The Bible is full of praising through music, song and dance.

It’s an integral part, Singleton said. “And it has been throughout the years.”

A time-honored format Since its founding in England, music has always been a part of the Episcopal Church, said Dennis Van Patter, the principal organist and choral director at Calvary Episcopal Church in Golden.

And at Calvary, “it’s very much alive and well,” he added.

The church offers two musical formats every Sunday — traditional and contemporary. Both are popular among the congregations, Van Patter said.

Westminster Presbyterian Church’s 2014 jubilation bell choir poses for a promo picture. The church has two choirs which are two separate entities — the chancel choir and the bell choir. Photo courtesy of Westminster Presbyterian Church “The spoken liturgy is the same,” Van Patter said, “but it’s the music that’s different.”

In the historic church, the word traditional is “very much” upheld, he said. “It’s a time-honored format that really speaks to some people.”

The historic church strives to offer traditional episcopal worship utilizing traditional music, Van Patter said. The music is very worshipful, but also very congregational.

The organ music provides an atmosphere where people can kneel or sit in prayer and center themselves for worship. And another big part is congregational singing, Van Patter said.

Hymns at Calvary are sung from the 1982 episcopal hymnal, and Van Patter said he tries to choose hymns that people are familiar with. But, he added, “one way to go from unfamiliar to familiar is to sing it.”

Choir Relationships can form among people in a denomination, said Dr. Michael McBride, interim choir director at Westminster Presbyterian Church.

He said being involved with the church’s music is an avenue for those relationships.

In general, a choir “is a group of people who enjoy being together and love making music together,” he said. Choir members enjoy the company of others, and singing.

And, being a part of a choir allows people to express themselves, McBride said.

Westminster Presbyterian Church has two separate choirs, Singleton said — the chancel choir and the jubilation bell choir. The chancel choir sings every week during the school year, and the bell choir rings in church service once a month.

In the summer, special music is provided during service, Single-

ton said. Special music can include a soloist, duet, quartet or instrumentalist, among others.

The bell choir always puts a smile on peoples’ faces, McBride said. They enjoy hearing the uniqueness of it, and “watching them ring is a visual experience.”

However, McBride added, the key is to assist in worship, versus being entertainment.

The group “tries to find something that establishes a mood or melody that people can recognize and that can relate to the service,” McBride added.

Where people can find community At Flatirons Community Church’s West Campus, located in Golden off Genesee Trail Road, a typical service lasts about an hour and will include about 15-20 minutes of music.

“We sing songs all about who God is and what he has done for us through Jesus,” said Luke Burgett, the West Campus worship pastor.

Music is provided by a live band that includes an acoustic guitar, two electric guitars, a drummer, bassist, keyboardist and a group of vocalists.

The music is contemporary and includes modern worship music, original songs and covers of mainstream popular music, Burgett said.

Some people want to sing out loud, and others prefer to listen and read along to the words projected on the screen, he said.

Either way, “we want to create an environment where people feel comfortable participating

however they want to,” Burgett said. “Something happens when everybody is doing something together.”

Typically, there are three categories of life experiences the chosen music tries to cater to, Burgett said. Those include people who are experiencing hard times, people who have reason to celebrate and thank God with a grateful heart and those who are in a time of needing encouragement.

“The goal is to reach anybody sitting in our service, no matter what they’re experiencing in life,” Burgett said. “The worship team is there to meet people where they’re at.”

The power of music Music service in the great hall of the Calvary Episcopal Church in Golden is what Daniel Coffey, the church’s pastor for youth and young adults, refers to as blended because it incorporates older, traditional hymns as well as newer worship music.

It includes a broad range of musical styles that “brings people together from all different generations,” Coffey said.

“We aim to make it as inclusive as possible.”

People can connect to all different types of music, he said.

“There’s something powerful about music.”

Adding music to the words of God adds a “whole different dimension,” Coffey said.

Together, it can create a space and environment for people to enter in together, he said. And “that is a beautiful thing.”

A helpful guide for politicians on music Few things connect with people like music.

As such, it makes sense that politicians would try to harness the power Clarke Reader of the art to connect LINER with folNOTES lowers over ideas and concerns.

Sometimes, they just fail spectacularly.

Most of these events — from fundraisers, town halls, debates and rallies — feature music in some capacity. It could be a song the candidate walks out to, something invigorating after the speech to pump up supporters, or a way to pass the time waiting for the show to start.

Use of music is one of the quickest ways for the careless politician to get a very public and humiliating tap on the shoulder from an artist. Take when Republican nominee hopeful and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker used “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” from Boston punk band Dropkick Murphys. It tweeted the following: “Please stop using our music in any way … we literally hate you!!! Love, Dropkick Murphys.”

Not exactly subtle, and not a great look for Walker.

I decided to do my civic duty to spare candidates future embarrassment and, hopefully, to ensure the election gods are merciful to me as we enter the worst of it. In

The event will feature a variety of entertainment sprinkled among the grounds, rodeo and bullfighting, 4-H and lots of live music.

Why was the Jeffco fair redesigned?

How will the 2016 event celebrate Jefferson County?

For the past several years, the annual Jeffco Fair & Rodeo has been held on the second weekend in August at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. A volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Jamila Woods’“Heavn,” released for free online at Sendspace.

Favorite song: “LSD” feat. Chance the Rapper

Review: Woods, a Chicago-based poet, songwriter and singer, brings passion and warmth to troubled times on her debut album. “Heavn” features elements of hip-hop, jazz, gospel and soul with Woods’ powerful voice and words at the center. At once soothing and empowering, it’s one of the year’s best debuts.

Most empowering lyrics:

that spirit, here are some tips to remember before pressing play: 1. Listen to the song I know, I know, this one seems like a total no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at the candidates who fail to do just that.

Arguably the most famous example is Ronald Reagan, who used Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” right after it was released in 1984. Sure, the chorus seems tailor-made for political rallies about how great the country is. But if one actually listens to the verses, what Springsteen is really saying is almost the exact opposite.

It tells the story of a man sent to war in Vietnam who returns to find himself cast off and forgotten by the very country that demanded he fight. The last verse ends with “Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go.” Not exactly uplifting stuff.

2. Beware of irony Almost all political events I’ve covered as a journalist are not only attended by supporters. Some events also will have detractors or demonstrators in the crowd, and

has acted in the role of promoter for the multiple-day public event.

With Jefferson County already connected to the Jeffco Fair & Rodeo through name, facilities, resources and reputation, the county evaluated and reviewed the governance and business practices of this event. In June of 2015, at the direction and request of the Board of County Commissioners, beginning in 2016, the county decided to take control, responsibility and offer additional support for this event.

The county has done a great job of engaging county divisions and various community organizations, businesses and individuals in the planning and development process of this new event. From the very beginning we’ve ensured those that live, work and play in Jefferson

“I’m not lonely, I’m alone.

And I’m holy By my own.”

-from “Holy” even if not, there are going to be reporters like myself who are on no one’s side and are there to think critically about what is happening.

So put some thought into the music being played. Music has messages, and even if they are too loud for those in attendance to hear the music, well, people will still notice.

Two recent examples that come to mind involve Republican nominee Donald Trump. At an event in September he took to the stage to R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine).” I mean, come on.

To be fair, the event played against President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, so the selection was probably meant to reference that.

Still, way, way too easy to take it another way.

And after Trump’s big acceptance speech at the Republic National Convention just a few weeks ago, he used The Rolling Stone’s “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” After the ugliness of the primary season, a lot of Republicans probably didn’t need to be reminded of that.

County have been involved with the creation of this event.

What does a successful fair and festival look like?

I think it’s important that any community event or function is designed with the community in mind and represents the region. Having Jefferson County residents at the table in the development of this event has been the greatest asset to ensure we maintain that focus. I think there is something for every event guest that visits the new Jeffco Fair & Festival, and I cannot wait to see how the event changes and grows each year based on the interests of this community.

Through November, the community had various opportunities — brainstorming sessions and

To be clear: I’m not going after the Republican Party. But my research for the column showed the vast majority of artist complaints come when Republicans go for basically any music outside of country.

Mitt Romney was on the receiving end of complaints from rapper K’Naan, soul legend Al Green and alt-rockers Silversun Pickups in 2012 when he played their songs. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich had both ‘80s stadium rockers Journey and Survivor on his case for using their music. And John McCain and Sarah Palin’s campaign received public complaints from folk rock legend Jackson Browne, the Foo Fighters, Van Halen, John Mellencamp and Swedish pop group Abba, to name just a few.

On the other side of the aisle, in 2012 Cyndi Lauper asked Democrats to stop using her 1986 hit “True Color,” which was played at the Democratic National Convention in an ad against Romney. In 2008, soul singer Sam Moore asked then-candidate Barack Obama to stop using “Hold On, I’m Comin’” at rallies.

These occurrences are the exception, not the rule, so pick carefully.

Which leads to my final piece of advice:

can file lawsuits to stop their music from being used.

“If a candidate refuses to stop using a song in this scenario, an artist may be able to protect his ‘right of publicity’ — Springsteen’s voice blaring over a loudspeaker is part of his image, and he has a right to protect his own image,” Knopper writes.

I would think spending a little more time on a playlist is preferable to paying fines or dealing with a lawsuit, and certainly better than being put on notice in a very loud way.

Take 2012, when vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan was using Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” at campaign stops, and frontman Dee Snider issued a statement saying, “I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan’s use of my song ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ as recorded by my band Twisted Sister. There is almost nothing on which I agree with Paul Ryan, except perhaps the use of the P90X.” Ouch.

But Ryan’s camp had a good response: “We’re Not Gonna Play It anymore.”

Pretty funny.

Perhaps candidates should ignore everything I’ve just said. I have a feeling we’re going to need the laughs.

3. Clear it with the artist Reaching out to the artist or his or her representative is the easiest way to avoid a public scolding, and can potentially save candidates some money.

According to reporting done for “Rolling Stone” magazine by Steve Knopper, copyright laws feature enough gray areas that musicians

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he thinks we can all agree on the use of the P90X.

an online survey — to voice what it wanted in a county fair. How valuable was the feedback, and how much of it has been incorporated into the reimagined fair and festival?

Spending time with various community sectors and hearing their interests and wishes for what they wanted in their county celebration was key. The survey and focus groups produced great feedback and demonstrated the many diverse interests in Jefferson County. Even the event name for the event came from feedback from the community.

Of course, not every idea or thought could be accomplished in year one, but I am excited to see how we might be able to incorporate other ideas from the community in future years.

What challenges have you faced as events coordinator? What are some of the highlights and accomplishments?

Being new to Colorado and Jefferson County certainly presented some challenges as it was important to me and the county to ensure this new event was designed to celebrate all things Jeffco. This job has afforded me the opportunity to not only get to work alongside many wonderful community members, but to also learn about the rich history of Jeffco.

The success of the Jeffco Fair & Festival is truly a collaborative effort between staff, partners, county departments, committees and volunteers who have come together to create this new Jefferson County celebration.

New rule could affect pace of play

Embracing an opportunity Colorado resident heads to Olympics as only U.S. beach volleyball referee

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock resident Dan Apol will be the only United States referee among the 16 who will officiate at the beach volleyball matches during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Apol, 44, who left for Rio Aug. 1, was not apprehensive about going to the seaside Brazilian city that has been plagued with adverse stories. The Summer Olympics officially opens Aug. 5.

Those stories have included the Zika virus threat, plumbing and electric problems in Olympic Village housing and polluted Guanabara Bay. And, on June 30, body parts washed up near the beach volleyball stadium on

“

The first Olympics I didn’t know what to expect. It was the most stressful 19 days of my life. For the last two months I’ve been thinking about these 19 days that are coming up and know it’s going to be a pretty stressful time.”

Dan Apol, Olympic beach volleyball referee from Castle Rock

Copacabana Beach.

“I saw that they had found a leg by the stadium, and the next day I was reading the newspaper and saw they found eight burned bodies in New York City,” Apol said. “I

would be more concerned to go to New York City.”

Apol has visited Brazil 10 times and says the people are wonderful.

Valor Christian headlines TV schedule Area high school football teams get national, regional exposure

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian’s football team will be featured in four televised games this season, including two national broadcasts on ESPN. During ESPN’s Kickoff Weekend, Valor will host Saguaro, of Scottsdale, Arizona, in a 1:30 p.m. ESPN game Aug. 27. The Eagles will again be at home against Greater Atlanta Christian on Sept. 9, televised on ESPN2.

Valor games against Pomona and Cherry Creek will be part of Altitude’s eight-game high school package. The full schedule has yet to be announced.

Pomona, which lost to Valor in last season’s Class 5A state championship game, will play at Valor Sept. 23. Cherry Creek, which beat the Eagles two years ago in the state title game, will chal-

lenge Valor Sept. 29 at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village.

The televised games bring attention not only to schools like Valor but also to Colorado sports as a whole.

“More than anything, it draws attention to Colorado athletics,” Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner said. “There are so many schools that have done a wonderful job competing at a high level. Hopefully it brings a little attention to the state. It draws attention to our state when they are seeing our teams competing on national television.

“For us, it is certainly a pleasure and honor to be asked to play on those stations. When you travel and wear some of your gear around, you are on vacation, it is interesting that there are quite a few folks that will recognize the Valor V — and probably this year more than any because of the publicity (Stanford running back) Christian McCaffrey receives for the Heisman race and the mention of Valor Christian.”

The TV appearances won’t generate a big payday for the schools or school districts.

ESPN has a third party in Paragon Marketing of Skokie, Illinois, that handles all negotiations with participating schools. It has been reported that schools receive $1,000 for an ESPN game and $500 for a game that is shown on ESPN2. A spokesman from Altitude wouldn’t reveal what kind of check schools or school districts receive from playing games televised on the regional network, but he did say, “the schools are happy with it.”

“The origination fees that these broadcast entities pay are to help with the expenses required of stadiums to get ready for the games or go back into district and school sports programs,” said Bert Borgmann, Colorado High School Activities assistant commissioner.

Jefferson County Executive Director of Athletics and Activities Jim Thyfault said schools are not getting rich from playing TV games.

“When one of our teams hosts a televised event, the money we receive goes to that school,” he said. “It isn’t much, believe me.”

The Colorado High School Activities Association, which stepped forward with pitch-count limitations last spring in high school baseball, is once again looking ahead as one of three states to experiment with a 40-second play Jim Benton clock in football this OVERTIME season.

Indiana, Michigan and Colorado will use the experimental rule this season. Texas has been using a 40-second clock since 2014 and the rule is used by the NCAA. Once an offensive play is over and the ball is placed on the ground, the 40-second clock will start. No official will give a signal to mark the ball ready for play.

This is a change from the 25-secondclock rule, in which an official would have to signal to start the clock after marking the ball ready for play.

In a few circumstances, the 25-second clock will still be employed. For instance, after a penalty, a timeout, a measurement, a change of possession or a scoring play.

According to CHSAA, the experimental rule could be in place for up to three seasons, but it could go in front of the National Federation of State High School Association football rules committee for adoption if enough states agree with the rule.

The goal of the 40-second clock is to improve the flow of the game. Teams can play as fast or slow as they want.

The rule change was announced by CHSAA July 29.

Douglas County football coach Gene Hill and his staff gathered to talk about the change. They hope to get more clarification later this month.

“We talked about this as a coaching staff for the first time yesterday (July 29),” he said. “Our first thought was actually practicing with a stopwatch to get a feel for the 40 seconds between plays.

“It was nice in the past because you knew the play clock started when the referee blew the whistle for play. This could actually streamline consistency of the clock and actually quicken the pace of the game a little. Nothing wrong with more action for everybody involved.”

ThunderRidge coach Joe Johnson prefers the 25-second rule.

“It was an unnecessary change,” he said.

The pitch-count rules to prevent overworked arms was a success last spring, except for a few cases. CHSAA is still working on way to better enforce the pitch limitations and finding ways to communicate to each team the official pitch counts.

Hill believes the state needs to make adjustments if the 40-second play clock becomes permanent in Colorado.

“If this is adopted, the state is going to have to mandate play clocks in the back of the end zones like other states to make it easier not just for the teams but for the referees as well,” he said. “If easy technology is available to help streamline a simple rule like this, why wouldn’t we take advantage of it?”

Practice time Boys golf teams can begin formal practice Aug. 8 and all other fall sports teams can start practice Aug. 15.

Tournament play for boys golf can start Aug. 11 with the first tennis matches set for Aug. 18 and softball games Aug. 19. On Aug. Benton continues on Page 20

Course Continued from Page 1

Kouzmanoff, 64, is one of the course’s 21 seasonal employees who help Homestead maintain its award-winning links. The bulk of these seasonal employees are retirees like Kouzmanoff, who love golf and are looking for something to do.

“Our youngest seasonal employee is 16, and our oldest is 81,” said Kevin Sjursen, assistant golf course superintendent at Homestead. “The bulk of our employees are retired, and I can’t say enough about these guys — they’re dedicated, enthusiastic and take care of all the equipment.”

The course was built and opened in 2000 to 2001, and is a short championship course that measures more than 5,000 yards. The par-65 course features a range of natural features like native plants, water features and wildlife — all of which require extreme attention to detail and care.

“Homestead is an Audubon Certified Sanctuary Site, so myself and another seasonal employee, Mike Ramee, do birdcount surveys as we’re out there,” Kouzmanoff said. “I studied wildlife biology in

Homestead Golf Course employee Marc Kouzmanoff looks affectionately at the mower he uses to maintain the course. Kouzmanoff is on his way to retirement and has found a new sense of enjoyment doing seasonal work at the course. Photo by Clarke Reader college, and I finally get to use it here.”

Kouzmanoff spent 30 years as a tax and account representative at Thomson Reuters, and while he still does some work there, he was looking for another way to

spend his time.

“I’m a member of the men’s club here, and Kevin sent out an email saying they were looking for new hires,” Kouzmanoff said. “I’ve always thought this was the best-

20, all other sports can commence competition, with the exception of football, which starts Aug. 25.

“There are a lot of things that come in the media that are pretty negative about the Games coming up, but I’m pretty sure they are going to handle everything perfectly,” he said. “I don’t have any concerns.”

Apol, who makes a living as a fulltime volleyball referee, started refereeing volleyball matches when he was a student at Michigan. He works NCAA Division I games and Paralympic matches and has been a ref on the FIVB Beach Volleyball Tour since 1999.

He also refereed the beach volleyball matches at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

“The first Olympics I didn’t know

Coach of the year Pomona boys track coach Jim Donnel has been named Colorado Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Donnel’s team came together late last spring and surprised other contending teams with a strong effort to win the Class 5A state championship last May.

maintained course, and thought it would be a good thing to try.”

The seasonal hires work two days a week, most for about two to four hours in the morning. Employees are given their assignments at a morning meeting, then saddle up on one of the course’s mowers, tractors and other machines and head out to cut grass, rake sand traps and help with large projects like erosion prevention and grass aeration.

The key to Homestead’s reputation is attention to detail, Sjursen said, and that includes everything from using the most environmentally friendly practices to using scissors to cut the grass around sprinkler heads and yardage signs.

“It’s a big job, and we always want to minimize play interruption,” Sjursen said.

“We’re very fortunate that we’re owned by the City of Lakewood, because it provides a lot of resources most courses normally wouldn’t have access to.”

After so many years in the corporate world, Kouzmanoff said he’s finally found a job where everyone is happy to be there.

“I love that I’m able to ride out on my mower, not talk to anyone and just enjoy what’s around me,” he said. “This is the only place I’ve worked where everyone says they love their job.”

what to expect,” Apol admitted. “It was the most stressful 19 days of my life. For the last two months I’ve been thinking about these 19 days that are coming up and know it’s going to be a pretty stressful time.”

But experience helps, he said.

“I know what to expect on a lot of levels and it’s not all fun. There’s a lot of meetings and a lot of details.”

Plus, the spotlight could at times be focused on him during the beach volleyball action, which will take place Aug. 6-18.

“It’s on TV in front of millions of people and if you screw up it’s pretty obvious,” he said. “That’s really something you don’t want. You don’t want to talk about that in meetings …”

Referreeing beach volleyball can be different than calling an indoor match.

“Each has their own quirks,” said

Apol. “Weather is a lot to deal with in beach volleyball. We’ll do six to seven matches some days on the big days of the tournament. It can be pretty hot.

“Basically as far as the calling, the ball handling is what gets the fans involved — whether or not the bump (pass with both arms together) was hand-set cleanly or not. There seems to be a little contention with the fans. There are a lot of people hollering at you.”

But the job is worth it.

Apol figures he has logged more than a million airline miles and travels about 100,000 miles a year.

“I get a lot of offers from people wanting to know if they can come along and carry bags,” he said. “I’m never going to be rich in money from this, but rich in experience. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s the best job I could possibly imagine.”

PaintFest stops at Lutheran Event uses art for healing

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com From the moment someone receives a cancer diagnosis, they’re a cancer survivor.

Just ask Kim Giarratano, who is battling the disease with the help of Lutheran Medical Center.

“All the people around me at Lutheran have helped me fight and be my support,” she said. “I also have my nephews Ethan, Zack and Max to help me.”

On July 29, Giarratano and other cancer patients, as well as hospital staff and visitors, had the chance to add color to Lutheran with the help of PaintFest America.

PaintFest is a nationwide tour, sponsored by the Foundation for Hospital Art, making stops in all 50 states. The tour focuses on cancer communities and channels the healing power of art.

“The foundation was started by my father, who started volunteering at a hospital in the 1970s,” said Scott

Feight, the foundation’s executive director. “Since its creation, we’ve been to 195 different countries and donated 44,000 paintings to more than 4,000 health care facilities.”

Participants were supplied with a variety of murals in a paint-bynumbers style. Cancer patients also painted a unique state-specific panel, which will be added to the

Lakewood Sentinel 21

50-state mural “Stars of Hope” to be assembled in New York on the final day of the tour.

Colorado Community Media joined Wheat Ridge Mayor Joyce Jay, Jefferson County Commissioner Casey Tighe and Miss Colorado, Shannon Patilla, at the event. Here are some of the best things we heard:

IN THEIR WORDS “No one chooses to be a cancer patient, but we’re very happy we were to chosen as the hospital to host this event for patients and survivors. We diagnose around 800 patients here a year, and every diagnosis is life-changing.”

— Denise Black-Anderson, director of Lutheran cancer services “Lutheran is part of our community, and not just a place to go when you’re having a bad time. It’s part of us, and I’m continually amazed at how the hospital continues to

expand in health fields.”

— Joyce Jay, Wheat Ridge mayor “These events are for the people, for the patients. We’re raising awareness, and bringing together cancer patients and survivors, because cancer touches everyone.”

— Scott Feight, executive director of Foundation for Hospital Art “This is a celebration of life and the energy it takes to fight back.”

— Kim Giarratano, cancer patient

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 1, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A misunderstanding tests the temperament of the sometimes headstrong Aries. Instead of blowing your top, take time for a pleasant diversion while things cool down.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A workplace problem could make the divine Bovine see red. But talk it out before you consider walking out. Some surprising facts emerge that change your earlier focus.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You face a choice between ignoring your uneasy feelings about your relationship with that special person and demanding explanations. A close friend offers wise counsel.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change you’d been hoping for carries an unexpected complication.

Stay the course, and things will work themselves out. Be sure to make time for family and friends.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Aspects favor spending time with loved ones. On the job, new ideas are generally welcomed. But some demands for changes could cause problems. Be ready to defend your choices.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: That workplace problem is close to being resolved with results that should please everyone. Take time off to indulge your love of fun and games.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Most of the time you are the most unflappable person around.

But be ready to be thrown off-balance in the nicest way when Cupid takes aim in your direction.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s not often when someone tries to “sting” the sharpwitted Scorpion. But it can happen. Continue to be skeptical about anything that seems too good to be true.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your strong sense of self-esteem helps you serve as a role model for someone who needs personal reassurances. Your efforts pay off in an unexpected way.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close considers revealing a painful secret. Withhold judgment. Instead, open your generous heart, and offer dollops of your love and understanding.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your talents as a peacemaker are called upon once more as an old problem re-emerges with new complications. Move cautiously in order to avoid falling into hidden traps.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your artistic side is enhanced with the reception given to your new project. Use this success as encouragement toward fulfilling your larger goals.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your natural sense of leadership is combined with a deep sense of responsibility. People trust you to give them both guidance and understanding. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
