Due to a challenge by Lakewood resident Steve Dorman, city council did not discuss a controversial measure to place a 1 percent annual limit on residential growth and return decisions on large multifamily projects to city council during its meeting on Aug. 28.

Council was set to vote on approving the measure, or place it on the ballot in November, but City Clerk Margy Greer, explained council cannot act on a measure when there’s a pending protest or appeal.

A Thursday, Sept. 31 hearing in Lakewood Municipal Court has been scheduled for Dorman’s challenge.

According the complaint by Dorman, vice chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party, the ordinance is too complicated and wouldn’t do what it set out to. He also said people who signed the petition weren’t made fully aware of the contents of the measure.

“The proposed ordinance is an absolute train wreck. It is 14 pages and 4,800 words of convoluted nonsense that will kill jobs, make housing for families and seniors totally unaffordable, and make it impossible for anyone without a lawyer or lobbyist to build a home or a business,” he said. “If the no-growth crowd wants to make it impossible for future city councils to allow more than SEE GROWTH, P13

‘Unless we have really given every school a reasonable chance and the necessary support to succeed, it just doesn’t sit right with me (to close a school).’

Glass recommends no school closures In a letter to Jefferson County Schools parents sent Friday, Aug. 25, new superintendent Jason Glass said that his administration will make no recommendations on closing any neighborhood schools until the 2019-20 school year at the earliest.

“Schools are at the heart of communities and serve as gathering places where families build lifelong friendships, solve community concerns, celebrate together, and grieve together,” Glass wrote. “Here in Jeffco, many of our schools have deep ties which stretch back (and forward) decades – where generations of families have memories, connections, and dreams for the future. Any conversations about closing schools must consider both responsible and efficient use of public funds and facilities — but also the larger community needs and values.”

Glass said this decision will allow the district time to work with all school communities to offer “attractive and quality programs, consider equity concerns, and partner with other community organizations to use available space to provide important services and supports to our Jeffco families.”

It’s important to note that Glass did not say school closures are being taken off the table moving forward.

Once in Mexico, I spent 24 hours in a shelter for illegal immigrants fleeing severe poverty and violence in their countries with hopes of coming to America. In less than an hour, I was in tears, hearing stories of suffering I couldn’t dream of experiencing myself.

stances where that is a necessary outcome,” Glass wrote. “However, unless we have really given every school a reasonable chance and the necessary support to succeed, it just doesn’t sit right with me.”

Glass also said the process taken to close a school is being re-evaluated to partner with the affected communities.

LAKEWOOD POLICE BRIEFS Arrest in daytime robbery Lakewood Police arrested James Twiford, 34, for a robbery that occurred on the afternoon of Aug. 27.

At about 1:37 p.m. that afternoon, Lakewood Police responded to the Denver West Inn, 7150 W. Colfax Ave., on the report of an armed robbery.

According to a release from Steve Davis, the department’s public information officer, police say Twiford had entered the main office of the motel, displayed what appeared to be a handgun, and demanded money. After receiving money he left the motel.

Agents on scene gathered suspect information including a vehicle registered to Twiford. His vehicle was located in the parking lot of the Mesa

Motor, also on West Colfax, an hourand-a-half later.

Police say they surrounded the motel and waited for the West Metro SWAT team to assemble and respond.

With the SWAT team on scene contact was made with the suspect and after several hours of negotiating he peacefully surrendered at 6:12 p.m.

Twiford was arrested and booked on suspicion of aggravated robbery and felony menacing. He was put into custody at the Jefferson County Jail until his arraignment.

Detectives are asking anyone who may have any additional information that would assist them in the investigation to call the Lakewood Police Department at 303-987-7111.

Sentenced for theft from grandmother Glenn William Gregory, 55, was sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing more than $1.3 million from his 89-year-old step-grandmother, Martha Violet Villano, according to the First Judicial District’s DA’s office.

The money was taken from bank accounts opened in the name of the Martha Violet Villano Trust Fund (MVV Trust).

According to a news release provided by Pam Russell, communications director for the DA’s office, Gregory was found guilty of 13 theft-related counts in June.

The trust was to be used for Villano’s benefit and was depleted down to $24 by the time the case was filed

in 2016. The sole purpose of the MVV Trust was to provide for Villano and Gregory did not have permission to use any of those funds for his personal use.

Gregory was trustee for the MVV Trust and had power of attorney for Villano. Between August, 2006 and May, 2015 Mr. Gregory disbursed over $1.3M from the MVV Trust’s accounts, including cash, online transfers to other accounts controlled by Gregory, and gifts to five family members.

The jury found Gregory guilty of five counts of theft at-risk adult, seven counts of theft, and one count of theft.

He was sentenced concurrently on all counts for a total of eight years in prison.

Good times at Green Gables Elementary

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The music, loud and happy, could be heard at least a block or two away from Green Gables Elementary on the evening of Aug. 25.

If that wasn’t enough to let the casual passer-by know something was going on, the parked cars spilling from the school lot into the neighborhood were a definite sign.

All the hubbub was due to the third annual Southern Green Gables Neighborhood Night Out, which brought the entire Southern Green Gables neighborhood to the school for food, music, games and neighborly fun.

“Every year, they add more and more things, so it’s fun to come see everything,” said resident Sandy Roark, who stopped by the event with her husband, Dick. “Plus, I didn’t feel like cooking tonight.”

A student from Green Gables Elementary gets their face painted during the third annual Southern Green Gables Neighborhood Night Out on Aug. 25.

CLARKE READER Roark helped the school to setup its community garden facility, and was pleased to see it flourishing.

“A lot of people don’t have places to do any planting,” she said. “Kids can get a great education in the garden, and they’ve already got all kinds of stuff planted.”

While a DJ played fun pop music, children tossed around footballs, played on the playground, or had their face painted in one of the nearly two dozen community booths spread out over the field.

“This whole event was started as a way for neigh-

bor to get to know neighbor,” said Doug Whitten, president of the Southern Gables Neighborhood Association. “It’s one of the only events we have where neighbors see each other, and that’s important, because if you know your neighbor, you’re more likely

to look out for them, and vice versa.”

Teenage members of Moth Contemporary Circus Center delighted children and adults alike, and lively conversation was had around picnic tables between bites of hot dogs and ice cream sandwiches.

For Suanne Hawley, principal of Green Gables, not only is the event fun for everyone, but it allows the students to see their school as a community center.

“I love that the kids see everyone coming together at their school,” she said. “It’s really makes the school feel like a hub for everyone in the community.”

And as the music kept playing, more hot dogs hit the grill, and the sun started to sink behind the mountains, it was hard to find anyone who’d disagree that a big party isn’t a bad way to end the first full week of school of the year.

Ideas to dispense with dozens of droll daily decisions

recently read an article about a thing called a “capsule wardrobe.” A capsule wardrobe is, in short, the practice of populating your closet with many of the exact same outfit. That way, when you go to the closet to decide what to wear, the decision is already done. The idea is to save time and energy by eliminating one decision early in the day. Several famous and powerful people adhere to this philosophy, including a few CEO’s and former President Obama.

The whole idea is, to me, pure genius. In the case of powerful people with crushing responsibilities, it makes sense that having one less decision to make every day—no

matter how trivial — is a good thing. I would think that for many of those types of people, once they decide to untether from one decision, they would follow with more: same breakfast every day, maybe the same lunch, same route to work. Eliminate the trivial to allow the mind to focus on any of the two-thousand actually important decisions in the day.

For me, something like that would be a simple issue of efficiency: given that I typically run 3-5 minutes behind schedule, any time saved staring at clothes is time recovered. And, come on, it’s not like the careful selection of a wardrobe has any chance of improving my overall fashion

profile, so…

But, there’s a larger lesson to be drawn from such a simple thing. People have studied the behavior of judges, and concluded that most judges — whether municipal, criminal, or appeals — have distinct patterns of behavior in their decisions that track with the numbers of hours they’ve been on the bench on any given day.

Is it possible that the epidemic of fatigue that we all keep hearing about is more than anything an extended version of decision fatigue? Could we be making our lives that SEE ALCORN, P7

decades. Yet progress in the U.S. has stalled, or is moving backward.

Women earn only 80 cents for every one dollar that men make. In fact, it’s taken 35 years to narrow this pay gap by just 20 cents, and data shows that women lose out on $500,000 in pay during their lifetimes because of it.

resident Grover Cleveland signed a bill in l894 making Labor Day, the first Monday in September a national WIT AND GRIT holiday. This Labor Day, I plan to slow down, relax and enjoy life with my husband.

Even older people past the age of retirement Mary McFerren have the ability to work Stobie all the time.

That’s what many of us do. We may not work at the same jobs as when we were younger, but still we can fill our days with work.

Labor Day was originally started to honor workers, workers who were laborers, some in unions. But work life in the United States has changed since the late 1800s.

Most of us understand work comes in many forms, different from a few generations ago when the majority of people worked in agriculture or factories. These days many of us work with our brains instead of our hands. We work on the telephone and at computers.

As I pause I remember working in my twenties as a wait-

ress, an actress, and a phone salesperson. In my thirties I worked as an ESL teacher for adults, and as a paid columnist and an author’s media escort. From 2005 to 2010 I worked as an on-call-chaplain in hospitals.

None of these jobs could be called labor, but still Labor Day means something to me.

When I think of labor, I also think of the labor women go through delivering babies.

Childbirth is hard work, which no one else will ever appreciate unless they’ve done it themselves. Beyond the delivery of babies I think of the wonderful but constant work of raising children and taking care of a family. Mothers need a day off, too — a day away from cooking, cleaning, washing diapers, and mowing the lawn. A time to just “be.”

Actually, besides mothers we all need a chance to just “be.”

It can have a calming effect.

The Native Americans say a solar eclipse marks a time for renewal. As we had a total eclipse on August 21, 2017, not long before Labor Day, I’d like to listen to the Native Americans and renew my life.

For the eclipse my husband and I stayed home on our back porch in Wheat Ridge. We

“Do you have glasses?” my neighbor asked.

“No,” I said.

From his roof he tossed me down a pair. They landed on our side of the fence. “Thank you so much!” I said.

Then my husband and I took turns with the glasses watching the moon cross over the sun. “Wow!” was all I could say. The reflections of the eclipse through the leaves created hundreds of lit up mini-eclipse shapes over us,

In 1971, Congress officially designated August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day” in a joint resolution that proclaimed, in part: “Whereas, the women of the United States have been treated as secondclass citizens and have not been granted the full rights and privileges, public or private, legal or institutional, which are made available to the male citizens of the United States; and, “Whereas, the women of the United States have united to assure that these

While watching the eclipse I felt the presence of God — a smiling God. He was putting on a show.

In primitive cultures the people paid a lot of attention to the sun the moon and the stars. They understood the constellations, created calendars.

They had instincts about the natural world instincts that many of us in the modern world, drenched in technology, have lost.

It’s a time to find it again, the wonder of the natural world and the One who created it all. Why not take time on Labor Day to slow down, relax and have a memorable day?

rights and privileges are available to all citizens equally regardless of sex …

“Now, therefore, be it resolved, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that August 26th of each year is designated as Women’s Equality Day … in commemoration of that day in 1920, on which the women of America were first given the right to vote, and that day in 1970, on which a nationwide demonstration for women’s rights took place.”

In the words of Abigail Adams, wife of second U.S. president, John Adams, in the last half of the 17th century, “If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation.”

For the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone today — especially in an American society that claims to be advanced and enlightened — why anyone would not believe that women and men are equal … in fact, would not believe that all people, regardless of gender, race, faith, or sexual orientation, are equal.

much harder simply by placing ourselves in more and more situations in which we have to make decisions?

Do I like this? Or should I hold the button longer to make a laughing emoji? Retweet? Or just react? Do I want the Venti, or the Grande? With a cookie, or a pastry?

And should I listen to my latest playlist while eating that, or just hit the Pandora?

And, man there is just never anything on any of the 584 television channels available to me.

The modern America we live in is a place of great wonders. The level of technology we possess, the ubiquity of that technology, and the wide specialization of our interests which, inevitably, find someone willing to service them … we’ve come a long way from

the days of Atari, 5 television channels, and transistor radios.

But, with all those choices comes an exponential increase in the number of decisions we all make on a daily basis. If you’re feeling worn out by the end of the day, even if you feel like you didn’t really do much, think back and consider how many decisions you made during the day, no matter how trivial. And then, wherever possible, replace the decision process with some sort of simple routine that takes some of the thought out of your day.

Sure, that may limit your creativity. But what would you rather expend your creative juices picking a belt and shoe combination? Or solving actual, important problems?

have been only about 16 of these tracks found in the world, and 12 of those are from China and Korea.”

The two-toed track was found in an older layer of rock that dates back 105 million years. In a study that Lockley published with his research team in 2016, he shared his rare discovery, which led to Dinosaur Ridge hosting a ribbon cutting on Aug. 12 of this year to unveil the now protected track for all to see.

“Discoveries like these show the difference between a place where stuff is on display, and a dynamic spot where some of the world’s best paleontology finds are still being discovered,” said Jeff Lamontagne, executive director of Friends of Dinosaur Ridge. “We have so many rarities here already, so to find another one is just mindboggling.”

The raptor that made the footprint Lockley discovered actually had three toes, but one of them with a large claw retracted back, much like a cat.

“Unlike what you see in a lot of movies, raptors are more closely related to birds than anything else, so most aren’t that big,” he explained. “It wasn’t until around 1994 that the first raptor tracks were found in China, and it wasn’t until around 2008 that tracks were found in Utah.”

The track proves there’s still a lot of discovering to do at Dinosaur Ridge, and longtime volunteers like Norbert Cygan are always on the lookout for

“You always keep your eye out up here,” he said.

On Aug. 23, just a few hundred feet from where the raptor track was discovered, Cygan brought Lockley to see another potential dinosaur track.

It was difficult to say for certain, but Lockley believes it may well be a dinosaur track.

“I think people will still be making discoveries on Dinosaur Ridge a hundred years from now, because methods for searching, as well as what people are looking for, are always changing,” Lockley said. “I am constantly surprising myself by finding things here I hadn’t noticed before.”

Edge Theater to set new ‘Benchmark’ Rick and Patty Yaconis to take half of 2018 off

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the seven years since The Edge Theater was founded, it’s put on 56 productions, including multiple regional premieres, a few world premieres, and even a musical.

But the next challenge for artistic directors Rick and Patty Yaconis is a surprising one — taking some time off.

“We put a lot of thought into it, and decided we didn’t want to keep going at this pace,” Rick said. “We’ve loved every minute of our time at The

Edge, but we needed to take a break and take some time for ourselves.”

The pair decided to finish out The Edge’s 2017 season, and do two shows in 2018, and in June, Benchmark Theatre Company will take over for the rest of 2018.

While the theater has become a hub of the 40 West Arts District, and receives a lot of support from neighbors and artists alike, building The Edge has been a full-time job. That’s in addition to full-time jobs, since the theater has never made enough to pay either of the Yaconises.

“We’ve worked so hard to build the theater community SEE EDGE, P11

here, and we didn’t want it to go away,” Rick said. “We’ve worked with almost everyone in Benchmark, and thought this would be a great way to give them a space to get started.”

Benchmark was started by Haley Johnson and Rachel Bouchard in the summer of 2015, who spent the ensuing two years building up the company and making a home in the metro Denver artistic community.

“We both wanted to do more interesting work and unique scripts,” Johnson explained.

“We’re really thrilled about the company of artists we have gathered together and what we can create.”

“A Kid Like Jake” (regional premiere)

by Daniel Pearle — Feb. 16 to March 25 “The Arsonists” (regional premiere)

by Jacqueline Goldfinger — June 22 to July 21 “Uncanny Valley” (regional premiere)

by Thomas Gibbons — Sept. 14 to Oct. 14 The second annual Fever Dream Festival — Oct. 19-21 and 26-28 “What You Will” (world premiere) by Jeffrey Neuman — Dec. 1-31 In 2017, Benchmark performed Jennifer Haley’s “The Nether” and hosted its annual Fever Dream Festival, which features science fiction, fantasy and horror stories.

In December the company will perform Noah Haidle’s “Smokefall” at Denver’s Buntport Theater.

“We have four main stage productions planned at The Edge space. Three are regional premieres and one is a world premiere,” Johnson said.

“Rick and Patty have grown a fantastic artistic family at The Edge, and audiences will see familiar faces at our shows.”

Family is certainly the feeling at The Edge, and both Rick and Patty have plans to get back into the theater community after getting some rest.

“We’ve talked about a lot of things, including maybe starting some kind of dinner theater in the area,” Rick said.

“It’s important to have live theater in the community, and working with Benchmark will continue that for those who support us.”

Paige (Carol Bloom) hosts a dinner party for her author husband that goes darkly awry in “Dinner,” at The Edge Theater through Sept. 17.

Traditional photography comes back into focus Film photography is enjoying a revitalization

F

or Samantha Koch, film photography is a portal to the past.

“You blur time with photography and film photography, especially,” said Koch, 23, who prefers to shoot with her 35 mm Minolta X-700 over her Nikon digital SLR camera.

“It makes it feel more like an art form... with negatives, it’s a true photograph from the moment you press the shutter button,” Koch said of her preference for film.

Koch said that moment in the darkroom of watching negatives turn into positives is magic.

“You’re literally watching the paper slowly change and your image appear,” Koch said. “It’s the coolest thing.”

Koch isn’t the only 20-something who is drawn to the world of film photography.

Englewood Camera in Littleton has seen a resurgence in the interest in film. This year the shop, located on Broadway, had sold 3,000 more rolls of film year-to-date than last year.

“It seems like the last couple years there’s been a renewed interest (in film), especially people in their 20s and 30s,” said Bryce Cole, manager and co-owner of Englewood Camera. “I think people like putting their hands onto a roll of film and pulling it through the camera. That and the aesthetics of it.”

Film gives a different look than digital, Cole said, adding that

many film shooters are buying expired film to experiment with the unpredictability of the outcome.

Englewood Camera sells expired film for $3 a roll, which is cheaper than regular film sold on average for $8 — a price that is rising each year.

The organic look that film brings is one quality that draws Koch to the medium.

“The images you get out of film, it’s like they have a hidden story to them,” Koch said. “It’s an aesthetic you don’t really get anymore. With digital, everything is so crisp, it’s like we’re seeing it with our own eyes. With film, you get this otherworldly feel to it like you’ve truly SEE FILM, P13

captured a moment in time. That’s why I like taking pictures with film.”

Koch alternates 50-50 between her film and digital cameras. Her favorite subject when shooting with film are street scenes.

“Street photography is very much a film photography thing for me,” she said. “Anything like urban decay, urban life, street life … I love taking film with that because it feels more real to me.”

Mechanical artistry is another aspect Koch likes about film.

“You have to know what you’re doing,” she said, spouting of the me-

1 percent growth, they would need to amend the city charter, not an ordinance.”

The Lakewood Neighborhood Partnerships submitted more than 7,500 signatures from community members on July 28, and Greer verified the

chanics of a manual camera such as the light meter, the film speed and the patience involved. “Film is your basis to build on your technique.”

That technical basis is what is taught to beginning photographers at area high schools.

In Suzi Melly’s photography classes at Horizon High School in Thornton, she teaches students the fundamentals of how light interacts with the camera before elements of design.

“I think it’s important not to negate film just because digital is here,” Melly said. “It’s holistic and I do think that it gives them an understanding of how photographic images are made.”

Melly teaches about 150 students throughout the school year. Her darkroom has 17 enlargers, which allow students to process and develop their

film at school. Because of class time constraints and the sharing of equipment, it takes about two weeks for a student to complete the process of one image.

“The process takes such a long time and some students didn’t know it was going to be so hard and time-consuming,” Melly said, adding that this is a challenge because students are used to instant gratification.

Melly describes the typical photography student as someone with a sequential mind and interested in science, math and writing.

In her class, students not only learn how light interacts with the camera to create an image and how to develop and process an image, but they also have to think creatively about composition and execution of an image.

“I think imagining what you hope it will be like before you take the shot is something that digital loses,” Melly said. “So that’s a gap filler. They have to adjust controls in the camera and they have to imagine what it looks like.

The manual camera is often completely foreign to them. I try to bridge the gap.”

The darkroom, Melly said, gives students a rich knowledge of how a photograph is made, in a way that digital doesn’t.

It’s these fundamentals that are taught to high school and college photographers with film and in the darkroom that give Koch hope that film is going to stick around.

“People think it’s gonna die,” Koch said. “But I think film is an art that won’t ever go away.”

signatures were sufficient to move it to the ballot.

As part of the initiative, annual city growth would be capped at 1 percent, and projects with 40 or more units would require approval from city council at a public hearing.

It was unclear at press time whether the court challenge would create a timing problem for the city to place the ordinance on the November ballot.

“For the past four years, decisions about large projects have been left to the city planning director, an administrator who has routinely approved high-density, high-profile, high-end

apartments with as many as 300 units.” Kentner said in a statement.

“Returning these decisions to city council would allow the community voices to be heard again.”

about mental illness IT’S OK TO HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS, MANY OF US DO. One in four Coloradans experience a mental illness each year. Mental illnesses are treatable health conditions, but people are still afraid to talk about them due to shame, misunderstanding, negative attitudes and fear of discrimination.

IT’S OK TO FEEL THE WAY YOU ARE FEELING. Mental illness is not imaginary. Mental illnesses are very real and very common. Mental illnesses cannot be willed away. They are medical conditions that do not define us.

IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP. Most mental illnesses can be treated effectively with medication, therapy, diet, exercise and support.

IT’S OK TO REACH OUT. If you think you know someone struggling with mental illness, what can you do? Talk. Listen. Replace awkward silence with questions and understanding.

Creek grad is making mark in college volleyball

A

Ralston Valley senior Logan Schroeder, left, cradles a catch in the end zone as Mustang offensive lineman Zach Pierce (68) signals touchdowns during the second quarter Aug. 25 at Jeffco Stadium. Schroeder’s touchdown catch was the lone score for Ralston Valley in a 21-7 loss to Columbine.

DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Columbine edges Jeffco rival Ralston Valley

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — It wasn’t picture perfect Friday night at Jeffco Stadium, but Columbine walked out of Jeffco Stadium with an important win to start the football season.

The Rebels, ranked No. 8 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A football preseason poll, defeated Ralston Valley 21-7 in the all-Jeffco showdown in Zero Week on Aug. 25.

“We’ve got to go back and get better,” Columbine coach Andy Lowry said after the Rebels’ victory. “Zero Week games are hard.”

Columbine had its fair share of penalties and fumbled twice on the opening play of drives in the first half. However, a pair of touchdown passes from junior quarterback Logan DeArment to senior Ted Mullin in the first half and a 15-yard touchdown run by senior Conner Snow was all the offense the Rebels needed.

The Rebels’ first two touchdowns came less than two minutes apart and before the 6-minute mark in the first quarter. Columbine’s offense stalled at points and gave Ralston Valley opportunities, especially with the two fumbled snapped that gave the Mustangs the ball in Columbine territory.

“You would like to convert turnovers to points, but it didn’t

happen,” Ralston Valley coach Matt Loyd said.

The Mustangs went 3-and-out on both possessions after the Columbine turnovers. However, Ralston Valley found the end zone at the end of its best drive of the game.

Junior AJ Jergensen, making his first varsity start at quarterback, connected with senior Logan Schroeder on a 14-yard touchdown with 8:57 left in the second quarter.

“It was nice. It was wide-open because (Columbine) was biting on our runs,” Schroeder said of the Mustangs’ lone touchdown. “It was a great pass and great timing.”

Columbine answered with a touchdown late in the first half on a third-down play where DeArment scrambled out of the pock and found Mullin for the score.

The last meeting between Ralston Valley and Columbine was back in 2015. The Rebels won by the same score — 21-7 victory.

“It was a tough match-up, but that’s what I like. I like it tough,” said Loyd, who was also pleased with what he saw from his new quarterback. “We knew Columbine was going to be tough and physical.”

Ralston Valley has its home opener at the North Area Athletic Complex on Friday, Sept. 1. The Mustangs face Fountain-Fort Carson in a non-league game.

p llison Fowler answered questions four years ago when she was walk- t ing out the doors of Cherry Creek d o High School. n She was often asked OVERTIME about New York Institute of Technology which was d her college choice to con- K tinue study and volleyball. a v “No one really knew where it was,” explained t Fowler. “I had to tell them “ where it was and what the a region was like for compe- t tition.”

Jim Benton Fowler, an NYIT senior, v w is still answering questions, but now mostly about volleyball at the i college that has campuses in Manhattan and S Old Westbury, New York.

The 21-year-old is the East Coast Conference 2017 preseason Player of the Year. She is a two-time ECC Setter of the Year, the 2016 ECC tournament Most Valuable Player and is the team captain for the third straight season.

Defending league champion NYIT is the ECC preseason title favorite, so expectations are high for Fowler and the Bears.

“I think myself and the team are ready to work as hard as we need to in order to live up to those expectations,” said Fowler.

Fowler had 1,110 assists last season, which was eighth all time for a single season in NYIT history. Fowler improved her career total to 142 block assists, which now stands 10th on the school career ladder, and she had 9.82 assists per set in the 2016 season. She is third on the all-time assist list with 3,226.

“Everything we did wrong is fixable,” Schroeder said.

Adams 12 lacrosse interest Lacrosse is a sport with swelling participation, and the Adams 12 school district is trying to decide whether join the crowd.

In Colorado there were 98 boys and girls teams in the 2002-03 season with 3,358 athletes. In the 2016-17 season, Colorado had 187 high school teams with 5,646 participants.

The Adams 12 school district has created an online survey to help determine if there is interest to create lacrosse teams for the 2018-19 season.

Adams 12 didn’t field boys or girls lacrosse teams during the 2016-18 cycle. The school district had planned to have a co-op boys team at Mountain Range and a girls team at Horizon, but the decision to not have teams was made because of limited time for planning, preparation and funding.

Planning resumed in late May to offer lacrosse with a single boys and girls team for the 2018-19 season. A survey is available on the district website to help judge interest.

Still, nobody in the Adams 12 athletic office responded to a request seeking to learn the amount of people that have replied to the survey.

Showering Severe Weather Shelters with volunteers, donations Annual event provides those who serve a chance to celebrate each other

HOW TO HELP For information, and volunteer opportunities, visit swshelternetwork.com or call 720-5159313.

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are many things the average person can do to help the homeless in the community, from volunteering to donating needed items, but perhaps one of the most important things they need is empathy.

“Some people just need to walk a day in the homeless’ shoes,” said Rob Kinky, who was formerly homeless, and now volunteers his time driving vans for Bethlehem Lutheran and the Severe Weather Shelter Network.

“I’m able to relate to the people I drive, and share all the resources I can with them.”

Kinky was just one of about a dozen volunteers and area church leaders who gathered at Bear Valley Church in Lakewood on Aug. 26 as part of the Shelter Network’s Shelter Shower. The

Lynn Ann Huizing, head of Severe Weather Shelter Network, speaks at the annual Shelter Shower on Aug. 26 at Bear Valley Church in southern Lakewood. CLARKE READER event was an opportunity for network members to meet each other, learn about new and needed volunteer opportunities, and prepare for the coming autumn and winter months.

“We’re positioned to be a catalyst of change in the communities,” said Lynn Ann Huizing, head of network.

“There are a lot of holes in addressing

homeless needs we’re trying to fill in addition to providing them a place to sleep on cold nights.”

The Severe Weather Shelter Network is a Christian nonprofit working to make sure Jefferson County’s homeless are kept warm on freezing nights, through a program in which local churches provide host sites for homeless community members to spend the night, enjoy a hot, homemade meal and some warm conversation.

The network launched its central program with churches in Lakewood, Golden and Denver four years ago and another network in south Jeffco and Littleton a year later. It is in the process of trying to create one in the Arvada area as well.

“We’re always looking for volunteers, especially for the overnight hours,” said Tracy Thayer, who coordinates the shelter at Applewood Community Church in Golden. “This event

is great because it’s often the only time our different volunteers meet each other.”

One of those community leaders is Ralph Phillips, who volunteers at Bethlehem Lutheran. The Lakewood church has been a leader in the Jeffco community for years, with programs like The Table, which offers weekly meals to homeless in the area.

“We’re always looking to recruit people to help in any way they can,” Phillips said. “Doing this kind of work is something anyone can do.”

In addition to recruiting volunteers and organizing much needed toiletries, clothes and other donations, it was also a chance to celebrate and encourage volunteerism.

“I just feel like we’re called to serve,” said Laura Prinzi, who volunteers with her sister Gail, at Bethlehem Lutheran, and her mother Darlene Milbrandt. “I have, so I should give.”

Her mother seconded those sentiments.

“There’s such a need in the community,” Milbrandt added. “We need to show these people we still love and care about them.”

State awards Jeffco over $825,000 Marijuana tax funds for student social emotional health STAFF REPORT

The Colorado State Board of Education will be giving a $825,164 award to Jefferson County Public Schools from the School Health Professionals Grant Program This state grant program utilizes recreational marijuana tax dollars to help hire additional school health professionals in districts across the state.

Jeffco schools will use the funds over a three-year span

Support your local paper!

to hire six elementary school social emotional learning specialists (SELS) and three full-time high school nurses — all new positions. The district says the additional staff will allow the district to build on the staffing choices already made by the current school board in support of social emotional learning and create a comprehensive K-12 system of prevention, with a focus on social emotional learning as a mechanism to prevent substance use.

The new staff will serve 14 schools in the Wheat Ridge and Lakewood communities.

The schools were selected because of proximity to recreational marijuana dispensaries.

The new school health professionals will target climate and culture, explicit instruction of evidencebased best practices related to social emotional learning, substance abuse prevention, and behavioral supports in a multi-tiered system of support. Although schools will be given the autonomy to choose interventions and programs that best suit their community, programs must be vetted and evidence-based. The fulltime daily presence in schools will promote and encourage deeper social emotional learning and stronger nurse-family partnerships, while improving the chances for youth substance abuse prevention.

Another component of the

grant is to help support Jeffco schools’ commitment to the “Be a Healthy School” initiative. During the 2016-17 school year, 110 schools in Jeffco had healthy school liaisons and 65 schools had school health teams that submitted healthy schools goals. Out of the 14 schools the grant will support,they all will receive district support and professional development to select, implement, and sustain best practices and strategies to improve school health.

The grant application was a collaborative effort between the Health Services, Healthy Schools, Student Engagement, and Student Services departments of the school district. The Office of Student
