DEER CREEK PARK FIRE

Police respond to two stabbing incidents near each other A police car sits in front of the Lakewood Heritage Center’s parking lot Aug. 15. Two stabbings occurred within 100 yards of each other in that area the night before. Police say they have not confirmed if the two stabbings are related.

Fire crews depart near Deer Creek Park near Grizzly and Bear Claw Drives where a fire broke out at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 15. The fire burned more than 20 acres before being contained the next day.

The fire is believed to have been human-caused according to investigators.

COURTESY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

In the early morning of Aug. 15, Lakewood Police received a call about a reported stabbing near the Lakewood Heritage Center, located at 801 S. Yarrow St. Lakewood police spokesman John Romero said two men were walking when a third man approached and stabbed one of them. Romero told the Lakewood Sentinel that the victim later died from the incident. His name was not immediately available, pending notification of his family.

The suspect is described as either

being a white or Hispanic male with short black hair. Romero says police believe the suspect is 6 feet tall, around 150 pounds and was wearing a black hoodie with an emblem on the chest.

Police received another call on reports of a dead adult male on Aug. 15 near the Colorado Fallen Firefighters Memorial at Belmar Park at 801 S. Wadsworth Blvd. Police later identified that victim as 61-year-old Stevan Sandvick. He was found with several apparent stab wounds, according to Romero. Police say it’s too early to know if the two incidents are officially related.

“Obviously, (the incidents happening) 100 yards away from each other is cause for concern,” said Romero.

If anyone has any information on these crimes, they are asked to call the Lakewood Police tip line at 303-7636800.

Crime filled weekend for Lakewood Police Wadsworth shut down and shots fired

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was an eventful weekend in Lakewood over the weekend as parts of Wadsworth were closed and, in an unre-

lated incident, gunshots were reported around the 1300 block of Yukon St. On the morning of Saturday, Aug. 17, Lakewood Police were notified of a suspicious vehicle in the area of 6th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard, according to a release. Police arrived to the area to find one man fleeing on foot to the neighborhood. Another male and a woman were detained, the release says.

Police were worried the man who fled was armed, causing Wadsworth to be closed from 6th Avenue to 10th Avenue for hours. The male suspect is still missing, and it is unknown if he is still in the area.

He’s described as being white, around 25-years-old, 6 feet tall, 160 pounds, with red hair and brown eyes. The release says he was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, black jeans

and black eyeglasses. He’s considered armed and dangerous.

The next day, Lakewood Police responded to reports of shots fired in the 1300 block of Yukon St., according to the department’s Twitter account.

The shooting isn’t believed to be connected to the Wadsworth incident.

An investigation is still underway, but police are looking for two males in their 20’s.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Governor Polis stops by Lakewood He visited Green Gables Elementary on Aug. 14

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

o kick off the new school year, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis paid Green Gables Elementary School a visit in Lakewood.

Along with Colorado State Senator Brittany Pettersen, Polis read a book to a group of kindergartners.

After that, him, Pettersen and Jeffco Public Schools Superintendent Jason Glass cruised through the school and stopped in through a few different classrooms.

Polis called for a bill providing free full-day kindergarten, which the Colorado Legislature passed earlier this year, and is going into effect at many Jefferson County school district elementary locations this fall.

Bond improvments and a new school year at Patterson International A Q&A with Patterson International Principal Lance Williams

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was a feeling of excitement at Lakewood’s Patterson International, a kindergarten through sixth grade school, as students began to pack the school’s blacktop awaiting their first day back to school on Aug. 14.

Children were happy to see their friends, parents dropped their kids off for their first day of kindergarten and staff seemed cheerful about the new school year.

&

QA

While parents dropped off their kids, Patterson International Principal Lance Williams talked about what he’s looking forward to about the new school year for himself and the 345 students who go to the school.

Your school was able to get some upgrades from bond money that Jeffco voters passed?

We have new playground enhancements and equipment. I have a parent who went here in 1961, and she told me she used to play on the same swings that were here.

The old playground was made with wood, so the kids would get splinters. We would constantly be battling that. They also redid the blacktop a little bit.

PATTERSON FROM PAGE 4

Through the bond money we were able to get some new security cameras. We had the choice of putting them inside, or outside. I chose to put them outside, and we now have a 360-degree view outside so that we can see what’s going on. I feel confident that teachers and myself and staff control what’s going on inside.

What’re you most looking forward to this new school year?

For me, it’s personal because this is my second year being principal here. I feel like I know all of the

families. I also know most of the kids by first name. I feel like I know what’s going on with climate and culture in the building instead of learning so much about my job last year. This year, I feel like I can hit the ground running.

What made you want to become an educator?

Growing up, I felt like I had some good mentors, teachers and people who helped mold my life. I guess as a child, some of the decisions I made weren’t the best. I always want and hope that I can help these children or any student I work with learn from their mistakes and know that everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes, but life goes on

and it’s how you learn from those mistakes that’s going to improve your life.

What’re some goals Patterson has for its students this year?

One of the things we’re focusing on is trying to build relationships with kids so every kid has multiple trusted adults they can come to.

We know if we can establish those relationships with kids and families, kids are going to learn. There’s a quote from a lady named Rita Pierson. She says kids don’t learn from people they don’t like. We need to make sure kids trust us and can come to us. We can do the work we need to do, and that starts with relationships.

New Report Details the True Cost of Selling Your Home to an ‘iBuyer’ ings vs. risks for these iBuyer companies. The report’s title is “iBuyers: A new choice for home sellers, but at what cost?” It was released two weeks ago. I have posted a link to the full report at www.GoldenREblog.com.

The last paragraph in the report is a good summary of their findings: “These preliminary empirical results suggest that sellers are paying not just the difference in fees of 2% to 5% more than with traditional agencies, and a generous repair allowance, but another 3% to 5% or more to compensate the iBuyer for liquidity risks and carrying costs. In all, the typical cost to a seller appears to be in the range of 13%

In May I got a call from a couple who were under contract with OpenDoor for an attractive price, but at a 7% commission and over $20,000 in fees. They were able to terminate and listed with me.

Above right is one of 3 charts in the report. The analysis is from Phoenix, where OpenDoor began buying homes in 2016. They didn’t come to Denver until 2018.

I’ve written before about companies which offer to buy your home “as is” for cash without you putting it on the market. The only reason they do it is that they can flip the property to a new buyer for a profit — profit that you gave up by doing business with them. The same is obviously true with iBuyers.

Bottom line: Unless money is no obPrice Per Square Foot

Perhaps you’ve heard about the new concept in home selling called iBuyers.

They include Zillow Offers, OpenDoor and OfferPad. Basically, these companies use their own cash to buy your home and then hopefully sell it for a profit.

If you’re a seller who needs to sell quickly and you’re not worried about getting top dollar (or paying less in fees), the iBuyer model is an option that may not otherwise be available to you. You avoid the uncertainty of not knowing how long your home will sit on the market — or if it will sell at all.

Jeffco teachers to be paid back for 2010 pay freeze Final bargaining session yields results in JCEA-district negotiations

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For many Jeffco teachers, the final bell on the first day of school didn’t quite signal the end of the day; rather, it signaled a shift to an impassioned discussion as teachers continued to negotiate with the district over the size of teacher raises.

After school on Aug. 14, members of the Jefferson County Education Association (JCEA) met with district representatives for their final bargaining session where, following months of disagreement on teacher compensation, the groups drafted a tentative agreement for their contract.

The compromise came after spring negotiations ended on an inconclusive note. While the support professionals union, JESPA, drafted an agreement on May 30 that included a 1.5% cost of living adjustment (COLA) to support their salaries, JCEA did not draft an agreement.

JCEA members have maintained a 1.5% COLA would not satisfy Jeffco teachers, many of whom struggle to afford Jeffco rents and some of whom feel they have yet to receive promised

“about half of those folks make more reparations after taking pay freezes in now than they would have if we had the 2010-2011 school year, said JCEA Bargaining Chair Christy Yacano.

‘We are still waiting for dollars from the recession, dollars lost, to move back to the district.’

“We can’t deny the sacrifices that were made back when (pay was) frozen,” Yacano said.

At the end of the session, the two sides compromised on an annual increase for employees who took pay freezes, which will see about $3 million distributed between the 2,500 to 3,000 employees — with groups estimating each employee’s raise will be “higher than $600,” Yacano said.

The groups also agreed on a 2.5% COLA instead of a 1.5%.

Additionally, because of language in the district’s contract with JESPA, support professionals will receive a 2.5% COLA. The educators’ tentative agreement also paved the way for changes to the educator evaluation process, altered distribution of teacher sick days and lowered the maximum of students in an art, music or PE class from 32 to 30 students, among other changes.

The contract is expected to be ratified by Aug. 21, according to the JCEA. While JCEA members celebrated the compromise, teachers like Wheat Ridge High social studies teacher Stephanie Rossi emphasized that she still sees room for eventual improvement.

“Members of JCEA are committed to advocating for a long-term funding fix across the state of Colorado,” Rossi said, “but Jeffco also needs to examine its priorities and invest in the hardworking professionals in our district that are dedicated to our students.”

New Hope House center will support 450 teen moms Grand opening to be held Sept. 5

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It doesn’t take long for the moms served by Hope House — a nonprofit that supports teen moms in the Denver area — to start spreading the word.

Madison Sullivan, 21, heard about it from one former teen mom, and went on to tell others.

Several former Hope House women said recommending the place to other young mothers to help them through some of the struggles they face, seemed like a natural next-step.

“There’s just such a need for it. It’s great to have,” Sullivan said. “I’ve grown so much as a person since I joined that I don’t even know who I would be if I hadn’t joined.”

Starting Sept. 5, Hope House’s capacity will nearly double as its new resource center opens up at 6475 Benton St. While the old facility in Westminster allowed Hope House to serve about 250 moms per year, the new building will serve 450 moms and offer quadruple the amount of available childcare spots, said Founder and Executive Director Lisa Steven.

The new building includes childcare space, classroom space, a workout room, a laundry room, a dining room and the

22-year-old Jade Arledge participated in Hope House’s community program and graduated this August after meeting the program’s criteria for self-sufficiency.

“Mama Bear Cave” — named by Hope House participants — where the moms can spend time with one another.

For 19-year-old Yvette Martinez Madera, who first came to the nonprofit in September 2018, she said it was just a matter of months before she was recommending the nonprofit to friends struggling to find housing and finish high school.

Jade Arledge, 22, likewise shared the news about Hope House with a number of other teen moms, including Sullivan.

Hope House has served young moms up to age 25 since its establishment in 2003. The nonprofit offers a residential program and a community program, which provides resources such as free childcare, hygienic supplies for children and GED, personal growth and financial classes.

Madison Sullivan sits on the front porch of the Hope House building, which is nextdoor to the new Resource Center, with her son, Gavin and daughter, Gracie.

“I called to ask questions about accessing the equity in my home to help cover monthly expenses, but my son was against it. He doesn’t live with me or pay my bills, he just thought it was a bad idea. He spoke with my loan officer, who was able to meet all of his objections. I am so glad I didn’t stop when my son said he didn’t like it!”

Well-meaning children—unaware of recent safeguard changes the US Government has put in place for reverse mortgage borrowers—may prevent their parents from moving forward with a transaction that would truly benefit them.

Misinformation about reverse mortgages abounds. Get the facts.

Objection #1: “Mom, the bank will own your home!” Actually, Mom never gives up the title to her home.

Home Equity Loans for Seniors—A Safe Option

Objection #2: “But Dad, there will be no inheritance for us kids!” Children do not realize that the property can be willed to the kids. With new safeguards (including lower lending limits and reduced mortgage insurance costs), the loan balance grows more slowly, allowing the heirs to decide to refinance or sell the home.

Seniors have worked all their lives to provide for their families.

Rather than struggling financially in retirement, they can unlock the equity in their home, and provide a more secure life in their golden years.

“In the other building, we have no space for community — we do breakfasts on Thursdays for half an hour,” Steven said. “But in this building, we’ll have them sitting in that dining room three times a day, eating as a family and having food available.

‘Another step closer’ to self-sufficiency The six-year, $5 million building project has come together because of a number of entities, Steven said. Meritage Homes and HomeAid Colorado have helped provide resources to build the facility, and Fellowship Covenant Church donated the land on which the building now stands.

The Hope House participants are all looking forward to the bigger space, having seen what the nonprofit has done in their lives, said the moms — including Martinez Madera, who will attend Front Range Community College this fall to become a high school teacher; Arledge, who recently graduated from Hope House and plans to become a medical aesthetician; and Sullivan, who will graduate from Hope House this summer with plans to attend nursing school.

For Martinez Madera, the expansion means more women can experience the benefits she has, she said. She highlighted several major contributors in her journey toward self-sufficiency, including financial literacy classes and a car she received after it was donated to Hope House.

Because of these resources, “I don’t spend as much as I used to, and I dedicate that money to rent or expenses,” she said. “I’m going for a career for myself, which is another step closer to getting out of poverty.”

Additionally, the increased availability for childcare will provide a great help to moms who need to work or study, the women said.

“I joined when I was halfway through my associate’s degree, and it was really hard for me to study at home. My son would always need me, and I struggled to pass classes,” Sullivan said. “But with the childcare here, I know he’s safe with somebody.

My grades went up a lot.”

September celebration The new building’s grand opening celebration takes place at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 5, with the entire community invited to see the new space. Individuals have been asked to RSVP at hopehousecolorado.org and should plan to park at Fellowship Covenant Church, 5615 W. 64th Ave. Those who cannot make the opening are invited to schedule a tour of the facility through the website, Steven said.

The website provides a number of other useful resources, as well, including applications for volunteers and for young moms who would like to participate in Hope House.

In keeping with her habit of referring moms to Hope House, Arledge encouraged moms to apply, saying they’ll feel the support “the minute they come in.”

“That’s all you need. It’ll convince you right there: Hope House is more of a family than anything,” she said.

VOICES Views from an expert in the laughingstock market

could give a two-day seminar on the No. 2 pencil, but I couldn’t have an intelligent two-minute conversation about the stock market.

Those words — “stock market” — have intimidated me since the first time I heard them. I don’t remember when that was, but it might have been in an American history class.

Perhaps when I first heard about the Stock Market Crash of 1929. I still don’t understand why that happened.

I have the facts right in front of me: it lasted four days, it was the worst ever, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 25%, and it lost $30 billion in market value.

Now: What is the Dow Jones Industrial Average?

See what I mean? And it’s hopeless.

“Arbitrage,” “averaging down,” and “day trading” mean nothing to me.

The consolation is — or might be — that I know how to talk about abstract art with the best of them. Leftbrained people often are just as inept when it comes to a conversation about abstract art as I am when it comes to talking about Dow Jones.

I guess insiders call it “The Dow.” I can’t do that, because I’m on the outside.

I wondered if there was a man named Dow Jones who was responsible for all of this, and I discovered it was two men: one named Dow and one named Jones.

Then why isn’t it the “Dow & Jones Industrial Average”?

Charles Dow was a 19th-century Wall Street journal editor.

I have no plans to educate myself.

I am, primarily, right-brained, and there are some things QUIET that my mind resists.

DESPERATION The stock market is one of them.

I was reminded of this when I read “Dow closes higher after China blinks.”

Should I sigh with relief ? Gather with friends and celebrate? Order Chinese take-out?

Craig Marshall I have skipped past the business section Smith in the newspaper for decades. There are no pictures, just numbers, and a language foreign to me.

(I know how Wall Street got its name, by the way.)

Whenever they show the stock market in action in real life or films, it looks like total chaos, with men and women shouting and running around with little pieces of paper in their hands.

I cannot comprehend how and why stock market fluctuations impact my life.

You may be wondering if I own any stocks. I wouldn’t know where to begin. I am sure I would have invested in New Coke.

I have seen copies of The Wall Street Journal, cold and gray and humorless. It disappoints me that I haven’t given it a chance. I feel the SEE SMITH, P13

nce upon a time, in another lifetime, I helped my friend Matt coach a high school baseball team. And, at one point a little way into the season, we were in the middle of a game, and Matt called for a sacrifice bunt.

It was a good call at the time — it’s always a good call when it works — but, our player didn’t get his hands in the right position, and he popped the ball up. The pitcher caught it, whirled to first base, and threw out our baserunner. Double play, end of inning.

Weirdly, even though we’d only played a few games at that point, this was the fourth or fifth time that had happened to us. And, appropriately, Matt let his frustration show. He took his cap off, rubbed his head, kicked at the dirt a little and exclaimed, “Dammit! How many times is that gonna happen to us this year?”

The entire dugout was silent, as we absorbed what had just happened and the coach’s reaction. And then, quietly, out of nowhere, one of our catchers, a big, strong Hispanic kid named Mark, deadpanned in his best Pete Puma (of Looney Tunes fame) voice “Oh . . . tree or four.”

You think the dugout was silent after the failed bunt? The entire field

was dead silent, watching, waiting for Matt’s reaction. Had Matt reacted like most high school teachers dealing HITTING with a smart aleck HOME kid, it would have been just another frustrating moment in a long season.

Instead, three eternal seconds later, Matt dropped his hat, and doubled over. Laughing. The rest of the team quickly followed suit.

Michael Alcorn I have no idea if we won that particular game or not, but I do know that that moment sticks out as the moment we became a team.

Chemistry is an unbelievably important — and completely unmeasurable — component of successful teams.

The team we had that summer had 4-15 talent, but Matt squeezed ten wins out of them. They played for each other, they played for us, and they had fun doing it. It was a great summer.

formula for chemistry — you can’t manufacture it, and you can’t command it. It happens all on its own, organically, or it doesn’t. And you sure know when it’s not there.

Ask the Colorado Rockies.

First, let it be said, the largest part of the Rockies’ struggle this season is bad pitching. But there have been any number of games where the pitching was good enough to win if the offense had lived up to the hype. But, instead, they’ve been tight. And losing. A lot.

What’s missing? Well, the Rockies let four players leave in free agency last winter: A veteran 1st baseman/ outfielder whose replacement has put up better numbers this season; a long-time veteran outfielder whose replacement was voted to the All-Star game by his peers; a 2nd baseman who is having an MVP season for the Yankees, but whose replacement is playing really well; and a relief pitcher whose replacement . . . has been a dumpster fire.

In sum, the Rockies are two up and two down on their replacements from last year, but are 20 games worse in the win-loss record. How to explain it? The first three players I named were the most popular players in the locker room, and two of them were famous for their ability to make people laugh and keep the mood light.

You think that matters when a team is in the midst of a six-game losing streak? You bet it does. Sometimes, it’s the difference between a six-game losing streak and a six win, nineteen loss month.

Every organization is dependent on chemistry for success, whether it’s a sports team, a faculty, a restaurant, or even a church. And it’s something that leaders should always give thought to. Even when the numbers don’t quite add up.

Parkway problems It is troubling that a project of this magnitude could be approved, funded, and begun without detailed planning on the routing, scheduling, costs, and citizen disruptions of the final two Extensions. On the north, how will they satisfy FAA concerns and rules? How will they route through Flatirons and I-36 and SH128? The south extension through Golden has been adamantly opposed by the city. Even if supported, it would be a major, complicated project through the city. The current 10 mile Parkway is the simplest of the three components when considering the entire project. JPPHA’s lack of detail on the two extensions makes me think they would prefer that we remain happily ignorant of the surprises yet to come.

Meet state’s new poet laureate, Bobby LeFebre

not just fooling around

F

or 100 years, Colorado has honored the power and connective potential of poetry, beginning when Gov. Oliver Shoup appointed Alice Polk Hill to the role of poet laureate in 1919. In that century there has never been a person of color in that role.

That changed with the July 23 announcement of Bobby LeFebre, who was selected by Gov. Jared Polis to take over for Joseph Hutchison.

LeFebre will serve a four-year term as the state’s ninth laureate.

“Bobby LeFebre has an amazing ability to empower and connect communities through the wisdom of his words; that COMING is why we are ATTRACTIONS confident he will make a fantastic poet laureate,” said Governor Jared Polis in his announcement.

“He embodies the spirit of a ‘Colorado for All’ where everyone is included. I know Clarke Reader he will be a strong advocate for the arts and art education as a way to F bring us together.”

I spoke to LeFebre about the power of the form, what it meant to be chosen as laureate and more: Tell me about your background I’ve been writing poetry for a long, long time — at least since my midteens, and I’m 37 now, which makes me the youngest laureate we’ve had.

I came into poetry through hiphop culture, and in college started reading more poetry and learning about the American canon. I started competing in poetry slams, which took me all over country, and started performing at colleges and universities all over the country.

What keeps poetry a vital medium?

We’re seeing more poetry used in pop culture. Performance poetry really took off and is bringing it to a new generation of people who are digesting the form differently.

People on Instagram can use it and get thousands of followers, and though some people really scoff at that, I think we can have an ivory tower and also have this new form of engagement.

How do you work?

I pay attention to what’s happening and why it’s happening — sometimes it’s internal things, the news, something to be celebrated, or to be used as a tool for social or political engagement. I follow the passion that happens naturally. It’s some-

The esports global revenue is expected to exceed $1 billion this year. Former pro athletes like Alex Rodriguez and Shaquille O’Neal have invested in the industry.

Esports world is booming and colleges, celebrities want in

n esports or competitive video game player is like a Formula 1 driver, says James Love. He says every reaction in the two sports demands intense, unbroken focus, and adds that esports athletes incorporate multiple gym workouts into their training schedule.

“The notion that esports players aren’t athletic is ignorant and outdated, to be blunt. Serious players put in six to 10 hours of gaming per day in order to hone their skills, and even though it looks like they’re sitting still, they’re exerting a lot of effort,” said Love, a communications director for the Philadelphia-based esports network N3rd Street Gamers, in an email.

The esports network opened up the Lakewood-based Localhost esports arena last year, an 18,000-square-foot facility that offers 120 custom-built gaming PCs and video game consoles like Xbox Ones and PlayStation 4s

and a 60-foot stage for events and tournaments. Love says business has been well, noting that the esports arena has put on “huge” three-day championship events with combined prizes of $25,000.

It’s expected that global esports revenue will exceed $1 billion this year, according to a report by esports analytics firm Newzoo. The esports industry has seen names like former MLB player Alex Rodriguez, NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal and celebrities like Jennifer Lopez investing in esports companies and teams.

“While gaming has always been a form of entertainment, three factors contributed to it becoming a sport: competition, tournaments and spectators. The number of people who count video games as a primary source of entertainment and leisure has been growing steadily since the invention of the joystick, plus more and more video games are being designed with the core goal to be played competitively against others,” said Love. “On top of that, you have an increasing amount of brands and products that consider esports the best way to reach their target demographic.”

Competition through video games Ryan Barr started running esports tournaments in Colorado before he

took his line of work to a national level. In that role, he’s traveled around the country, including to New York, Illinois, California and Pennsylvania.

Now he is focused on providing a platform for any esports player through The National Championship Series. The league gives esports players an opportunity to compete in video games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite and others. Competitors earn points based on participation and placement in games. In turn, those points can get esports players to national competitions.

“Everyone is a gamer, that’s the reality. Some people are not accepting to the fact that they are a game, because they might be more on the casual side,” said Barr who is commissioner of The National Championship Series.

“You can be competitive and still have fun.”

Scholarships through video games One of the focuses of the National Championship Series is to not only give esports players a platform to get recognized by professional esports teams — it also aims to help esports players show their skills to colleges.

thing that’s a part of me.

What is your role as poet laureate?

The poet laureate serves as an ambassador for poetry across the state, so I’ll be traveling to places for readings and workshops. I’m looking to get to places other laureates haven’t visited. I want to center and amplify marginalized voices and introduce, or reintroduce, poetry as something that’s accessible to all, can be woven into daily life, and find connections to people through it.

I’m honored to fill the post and serve as an advocate for poetry and engage with people all over the state about how they use it and how it can be used.

‘It’s been a great ride’ Donald Tallman retires as first non-rail fan to serve as railroad museum’s executive director

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the nearly 13 years he spent as executive director of the Colorado Railroad Museum, Donald Tallman gained a deep appreciation for the role that railroads played in the growth and development of Colorado and the United States, he said.

“The history of railroading has a lot of stories to tell us,” Tallman said.

“The Colorado Railroad Museum is a place where you can step 140 years back in time. We use our collection to tell those stories.”

Tallman is retiring from the museum at the end of August. Replacing him is Paul Hammond of southern California, a lifelong rail fan who has an extensive background of holding leadership roles with railroad and other transportation museums, as well as holding editor positions for locomotive and railway publications.

During Tallman’s time at the railroad museum, its attendance, and thus revenue, nearly doubled, the museum gained bragging rights for

Amongh his accomplishments, Tallman helped bring the wildly popular Polar Express program to the museum.

“He helped make it more visible and accessible to the public,” said Sharon McGee, one of the museum’s trustees.

She added the museum celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. “It’s difficult for any museum to make it that long. But we continue to reach more people.”

Tallman, 63, was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan-Flint, and began his working career as a supervisor at a Buick manufacturing plant.

He later decided he wanted to pursue a different career path, and eventually earned a master’s degree from the University of Chicago Graduate Library School.

relocated to San Francisco.

Tallman met his wife Robin in San Francisco when they were employed together in the same office. The two married in 1987 and in 1989, their daughter Danielle was born.

Tallman had become a strategic planner for Wells Fargo by this time, but then embarked on a new endeavor.

“We decided one of us should stay home, and we thought that I would do a good job as a full-time dad,” Tallman said. He stayed home with Danielle for six years, he said, and added during that time, “I had a blast. I absolutely loved it.”

Being a stay-at-home dad gave him an opportunity to lead in a different way than his career had permitted, Tallman said, and pursue his passion for music.

Though he sang through high school and college, Tallman became a professional singer in San Francisco — staff tenor for Saint Mary’s Cathedral and staff singer for Temple Sherith Israel, as well as singing with a professional chamber choir and performing as a soloist for a number of performing arts organizations.

“Music is such a powerful medium,” Tallman said. “You can connect with audiences on so many different levels.”

Tallman continues to sing the National Anthem at local events such as the Jefferson County Good News Breakfast and Buffalo Bill Days, as well as major sporting events such

Donald Tallman and his wife Robin get ready for last year’s Olde Golden Christmas and Holiday Parade. Donald Tallman will be retiring from the Colorado Railroad Museum at the end of August.

Robin Tallman retired last year, and the two are looking forward to having more adventures together.

COURTESY PHOTO as for the Colorado Rockies baseball games and Denver Nuggets basketball games, and the upcoming Colorado Classic pro cycling bike race.

It was Robin Tallman’s job as the director of finance for a large telecommunications company that brought the two of them to Colorado when her

office relocated. The family settled on Green Mountain in Lakewood in 1996.

“We love Colorado,” Robin Tallman said. She retired at the end of last year, and she added that now that they’re both retired, she’s “looking forward to having more adventures, both big and small. Retirement gives you more freedom.”

Donald Tallman expects the two of them will do some travelling, which includes visiting their daughter and son-and-law in Illinois more often, and trips to go hiking and alpine climbing in Colorado’s mountains.

In 1997, Tallman and Michael Shasberger cofound Augustana Arts, a nonprofit with a mission “to create opportunities to inspire and educate through music,” states its website.

Tallman served as the organization’s executive director for 10 years, until a friend told him about the position at the Colorado Railroad Museum.

“It was going to have to be something really special to get me to leave Augustana Arts,” Tallman said.

But he submitted his resume, got an interview, and in October 2006, Tallman became the first non-rail fan to assume the role of executive director of the Colorado Railroad Museum.

Tallman “understands the marriage between railroading and onboard theater,” said Jarrette Ireland, general manager of Rail Events, Inc. Ireland of Durango met Tallman though bringing the Polar Express to the Colorado Railroad Museum. “He’s been a champion for bringing family-oriented, nontraditional railroad events to this museum, which has helped it thrive.”

Al Blount, president of the muse-

um’s board of trustees, agreed.

“He (Tallman) came in at the right time,” Blount said. “We’re preserving Colorado railroad history. Many kids don’t even know what a steam engine is until they visit the museum. We needed somebody who understood business and museums.”

Russ Powers, who has been a volunteer researcher in the railroad museum’s library for 16 years, said Tallman was instrumental in implementing outreach to a younger generation of rail fans.

“He has taken it from being a static museum,” Powers said, “to a place that features exciting and interesting exhibits as well as fun, family events.”

Tallman enjoys being involved in the community and serves on several local boards and commissions — the Budget and Audit Board for the city of Lakewood, the membership and media relations committees for the National Western Stock Show Association, the board for the Golden Visitor’s Center and the board of the Heritage Rail Alliance.

He was inducted into the Jefferson County Hall of Fame in 2018.

About 250 people, ranging from Tallman’s “gym buddies” to representatives of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), attended Tallman’s retirement party on Aug. 14 at the railroad museum.

“One of the most important things is the strength of relationships. It’s all about the people,” Tallman said.

“I’ve met and developed relationships with hundreds in the community. It’s been a great ride.”

New museum coming to Lakewood

Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys will bring more than 20,000 artifacts to the city

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 1927 Japan sent over 58 Japanese Friendship Dolls, including Miss Yokohama — Colorado’s Japanese Friendship Doll. The doll, constructed of wood, gofun (a traditional Japanese white chalky paint), human hair and glass eyes, is a physical representation of diplomatic history between Japan and the United States, according to History Colorado, an agency that is part of the Department of Higher Education.

Artifacts like Miss Yokohama from the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys will soon be on display in Lakewood.

Anschutz presents screening of ‘American Tragedy’ Documentary highlights mom of Columbine shooter’s journey to mental health advocate STAFF REPORT

The screening of “American Tragedy: Love is Not Enough,” a new documentary that follows Sue Klebold’s journey from realizing her son was one of the Columbine shooters to her becoming a mental health advocate, is set for Aug. 30.

The film includes suicide loss survivors’ stories and professionals agreeing on a need for a major paradigm shift away from reliance on therapy for mental illnesses toward a more proactive, universal approach to mental wellness, according to a news release.

Suicide, especially among teens, and mental health issues continue to be a daily problem in society. It is the hope of the makers of this film to increase awareness and action to curb this alarming trend, the release said.

Indeed, as Klebold concludes in the

Screening of “American Tragedy: Love is Not Enough,” followed by a discussion with Matt Mishkind, Sarah Davidon, suicide loss survivor moms, Katherine Sellery and film producer Lisa Sabey WHEN: Friday, Aug. 30, 5 p.m. and 7:10 p.m.

WHERE: Anschutz Medical Campus Theater, 13121 E. 17th Ave., Aurora CONTACT: Lisa Sabey at 720-989-5624 TICKETS: www.eventbrite.com/e/americantragedy-pre-release-screening-tickets-63812187972 film, it was not love that was missing in her son’s life; it was an ability to cope with despair and suicidality.

This topic is particularly urgent given that suicide is the leading cause of death for Coloradans between the ages of 10 and 24, the release said.

Since 2006, suicides have risen 70 percent and mental illnesses 52 percent.

Status quo is not working.

“American Tragedy” has been accepted into the Heartland International Film Festival, an academy award qualifying film festival.

Festival Italiano goes zero waste

The Beatles 55th Anniversary

August 23

September 26 1-888-9-AXS-TIX

As September nears, so does Lakewood’s Festival Italiano, an event that celebrates Italian culture through food, wine, entertainment, vendors and more. To make the taste of Italy event more environmentally friendly, volunteers are needed.

Zero Waste Services, a nonprofit organization co-founded by Lakewood resident Sandie Weathers, will be at the Belmar event for the second consecutive year. The organization’s goal is to improve waste diversion, and this year it’ll be able to have a greater impact thanks to a new grant from the Can’d Aid Foundation.

Originally started in 2013, the Can’d Aid Foundation was created in response to flooding in Longmont and Lyons. Since then, the organization has worked on “do-goodery” efforts, according to its website. Zero Waste Services was awarded nearly $10,000 from the Can’d Aid Foundation to purchase additional zero waste bins.

Last year, Zero Waste Services had two zero waste stations at Festival Italiano, and it also encouraged vendors to offer compostable dinnerware, according to Weathers. This year, the nonprofit will have 20 zero waste stations, thanks to the Can’d Aid Foundation’s donation.

“These bins will be ours to own and will be used for future events,’ said Weathers in a statement. She noted that Zero Waste Services received a dona-

Festival Italiano is a two-day celebration of the sights, sounds and flavors of Italy.

WHEN: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sept. 7 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 8 WHERE: The Belmar shopping area, 7337 W. Alaska Drive in Lakewood WHY: A portion of the proceeds collected during the event will benefit Project Angel Heart, which delivers nutritious meals to people who live in the Denver Metro and Colorado Springs areas that are suffering from life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, congestive heart failure and HIV/AIDS. tion of 10,000 compostable cups for the festival from Eco-Products, which creates recycled materials for businesses.

“Plastic cups were a huge contributor to our waste-stream last year. Since they are not recyclable, this year, thanks to this donation, we will be able to compost this item and keep it out of the landfill,” Weathers said in the statement.

To help with its effort, Zero Waste Services is looking for around 22 volunteers at this year’s festival. If you are interested in volunteering, visit zerowasteservices.org/volunteer.

Festival Italiano is Sept. 7 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More than 100,000 people attend the event each year, according to Belmar’s website.

Water or Milk Another suggestion is to provide water or milk during mealtimes and snacks rather than sugary juice or soda. Drinking water rather than soda is cheaper, caffeine and sweetener free, and will become a habit.

Nutritionists suggest families set a good example. Eat a small snack and drink water or skim milk with your children. Have your snack at the kitchen table rather in front of the TV, phone, or computer.

You may like to play a game like I Spy Something Red or some other color to spark conversation. Another variation is to count the number of items of a color you can find in a room.

Alphabet and category games are also conversation starters. How many words can you think of that start with the letter B? What animals can you think of that live on a farm?

You can teach young children to read numbers on nutrition labels.

Four-year-olds can look for smaller number of sugar grams and become very aware of what they eat. These little food detectives can compare labels on boxed cereals, soup, processed meats, frozen meals, and macaroni and cheese to find the lowest amounts of sweeteners and salt.

Association helps grow the game

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chris Ball is a Grammy-nominated songwriter who has composed music for many television shows and toured for seven years as a musician with the rock band Firefall.

The 53-year-old Highlands Ranch resident still found time to become a competitive amateur disc golfer.

“When I traveled with Firefall, I brought my discs with me sometimes and I would go play,” Ball said. “I would do a lot more at home. It is just so easy to get out for an hour at a park near my house or to a field just to go practice and hone the same shot over and over again.

“Going back to my teenage years, I loved to play freestyle Frisbee, just playing in a park. I just thought disc golf was a lot of fun at first. It was just kind of fun to mix Frisbee and golf, throwing at a basket. We’ve come a long way from throwing ultimate discs at trees in a park and calling it ‘golf ’ `or ‘frolf ’ ‘’ Disc golf can be hard to play.

Throwing a small disc a long way takes skill, practice and can be challenging to master. The sport is played like traditional golf, except that flying discs are used instead of a golf ball.

The sport was created in the early 1970s with the object of completing

each hole with the fewest strokes, or throws, in this case. The discs are thrown at metal baskets.

There are four types of discs used in disc golf. There are distance drivers, which are thin, sharp-edged, dense and

require speed when throwing. Drives can go up to 400 feet if thrown properly.

Fairway drivers are easier to control and usually have more glide time. MidSEE DISC GOLF, P24

olorado High School Activities Association commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green called it a very bold stance.

The CHSAA Board of Directors in June approved a Mental Health Initiative that mandates all coaches take a course on mental health and suicide prevention. It could be a class set up by the various school districts or one offered by the NHFS Learning Center.

Colorado and the CHSAA has been recognized nationally for the valiant effort to try to help troubled teenagers.

“We were inundated not only statewide but from national media for the steps that we took,” said Blanford-Green.

OVERTIME “Everything that we have heard has been positive. When the CHSAA mandates things, sometimes we get pushback, but this probably is the first thing Jim Benton we’ve put out in a long time that 100% of the people say it was the right thing to do.

“We’re not doing it because we want any accolades. We’re doing it because we have kids in crises.

It opened the door for us being elevated as a state looking for the best interest for our kids socially, emotionally as well as physically.”

CHSAA Assistant Commissioner Jenn Roberts-Uhlig is the head of the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, which spearheaded the creation of the initiative.

“Everyone in this state is trying to wrap their heads and arms around kiddos to see what we can do to support them and see if we can make this go away,” said Roberts-Uhlig. “If we can hit it from all angles, that’s our goal.”

CHSAA tries to minimize the amount of mandates placed on coaches but national data reveals that steps need to be taken.

In the most recent 2017 data available, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control reported that for youngsters of all races and sexes between the ages of 10 and 19, there were 3,008 suicides in the United SEE BENTON, P24

range discs are bulkier and less aerodynamic with a more rounded outside lip. Putters are shaped more like traditional Frisbees and are heavier.

“Disc golf, I would have to say over the past 10 years, is a growing sport here in Colorado and across the country,” said Ray Woodruff, the Colorado Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) coordinator and Rocky Mountain Women’s Disc Golf Championship tournament director.

“I was first introduced to the game in 1996 and enjoyed several years of recreational play until joining the tournament scene in 2007. I have been on the board of directors for the Mile High Disc Golf Club since 2011.”

In a 2019 PDGA demographics report, the association reported it has 120,000 lifetime members and 46,00 active players. Colorado has 1,195 PDGA participants.

The PDGA points out that as many as 500,000 people play the sport regularly. The 2019 PDGA course directory lists 6,316 courses in the United States. There are more than 100 courses listed in Colorado. Some courses are private and many were created by homeowners associations.

“Practicing in a field is the key to what it takes to be a decent player,” Ball said. “The sport is fun, there are hundreds of free courses nationwide and you don’t have to be a great athlete to enjoy getting out in the fresh air and playing. But to become really good, just like anything, you have to practice.

“Now, I play for the love of the

game, being outdoors and in Colorado, where we have incredible courses up in the mountains. We have great courses in and around Denver, and it is free. That’s a big part of it. The only thing that costs you is if you lose a disc.”

According to PDGA demographics, only 8% of its membership is female, but there were 134 women who played in the Rocky Mountain Women’s Disc Golf Championships on Aug. 2-4 at Purple Park in Superior.

Clear workplace stress for better health Feeling stressed at work? If so, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup Poll on stress, worry and anger revealed that 55% of Americans said they experienced stress “a lot” during the day, up from 46% in 2006.

In the workplace, stress can affect your attitude, relationships with colleagues and work performance.

Although a modest amount of stress is normal, high levels of stress can be dangerous to your health and may contribute to serious health problems such

as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, anxiety and depression.

But there are ways to help manage stress. Ann Marie O’Brien, R.N., national director of health strategies, UnitedHealthcare, shares the following tips that may reduce your workplace stress and get you back on a healthy track performing at your usual best.

1) Talk to your boss. Consider having an open discussion with your boss about the stressors associated with your work responsibilities.

2) Brush up on your time-management skills. We’ve all had days when it seems impossible to get everything done.

3) Take advantage of workplace wellbeing programs. An increasing number of employers are offering well-being programs through their health plan and are making healthier food options available in the workplace.

4) Grow your support network. If you have a close colleague at work, talk with that person and explain your

work stressors and brainstorm possible solutions. If you don’t, then reach out to friends and loved ones. It’s important that you don’t isolate yourself after a stressful event.

5) Focus on yourself. If you’re feeling stress, a simple treat such as going to a movie, enjoying your favorite meal or just getting away to take a brief walk can give you time to unwind and recharge. If you cannot get a handle on your stress, talk to your doctor. ~Brandpoint
