Lakewood Strategic Growth Initative wins in court

MY NAME IS

Initiative to miss this November’s ballot however Bernadette Berger is the IT director for the Jefferson County Public Library. She is a Colorado native and resides in Westminster.

BERNADETTE BERGER

IT director for Jefferson County Public Library A place where everybody comes together I started my job as the Information Technology (IT) director for the Jefferson County Public Library in August.

I’m here to facilitate the technological opportunities, needs and responsibilities of patrons and staff. One of my goals is to enhance the patron experience with IT. Everybody needs to understand how to use new technologies. The library can reach all generations and the library technology is available for everyone.

In this position, I get to give back to the community. The library is a place where everybody comes together, and it meets a variety of people’s needs. I grew up in a family that didn’t have a lot of money, so being able to check out any book I wanted from the library opened up doors for me so I could succeed in my life.

IT in parks and public health I’m 48 and I was born and raised in north Denver. I earned my undergraduate degree from Colorado State University and lived in Fort Collins for nine years. During that time, I worked for the National Park Service in water rights and supported their IT needs.

I moved back to Denver to pursue my master’s degree at Regis University. I graduated with a Master’s of Science in computer information technology in 2001.

In 2000, I took a job with Jefferson County Public Health and worked there for 18 years. I had various responsibilities and ended up as the supervisor of system administration and data bases.

A ’true community neighborhood’ I’ve lived in Westminster for 14 years.

I live in a true community neighborhood. My kid gets to play outside with his neighbors, like I did.

I have two children — one in college and one in elementary school. We’ve recently started fishing together. My son is 9 and wanted to learn, so now, my daughter, at 22, also decided she wanted to learn.

I’m an outdoors person. I love to go hiking, ride my bike and camp. The Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in southern Colorado is one of my favorite spots, as well as Crystal River, which is near Carbondale.

I also belong to a really fun book group. I’ve been with them for about four years. We’re a fairly small group, but we come from all over the metro area. They keep me reading diverse things — it’s a little of everything.

The controversial Lakewood Strategic Growth Initiative, an anti-growth measure will be headed to voter’s ballots, but not this November.

The initiative seeks to limit new home construction to one percent per year and requires the Lakewood City Council to approve projects with 40 units or more. It received over 7,600 signatures in 2017. Supporters of the initiative believe it is needed in the city, because they believe Lakewood is overcrowded and traffic is becoming worse, but others feel that it’ll do the city no good.

Jefferson County District Judge Diego Hunt ruled that Lakewood City Clerk Margy Greer properly carried out the initiative process and did everything to allow it to go to the voter’s ballot.

Greer verified that all of the signatures on the initiative were valid, and it almost went to Lakewood resident’s ballots last November. But Steve Dorman, vice chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party, filed a challenge to the initiative, saying that the people who signed in support of it weren’t in the know of everything the initiative contains. Greer found in favor of the initiative, but Dorman stepped up to her ruling, saying the city couldn’t proceed any further with it.

Since the initiative was under protest by Dorman, Lakewood City Council wasn’t allowed to vote to send the issue to voters due to Lakewood’s Municipal Code.

“Ultimately what (Hunt’s ruling) means is that the city vigorously defended against the protester’s efforts to stop the initiative from going to the ballot.

Our actions really protected the fundamental right of residents to have initiative. There are still unresolved issues that (Hunt) is asking for a trial date to be set for,” Stacie Oulton, Lakewood’s spokeswoman said.

Those remaining issues that Hunt is still seeking to resolve in court revolve around constitutional matters pertaining to the initiative. Since there still has to be a trial, the initiative is unlikely to be a part of this upcoming November ballot. However, there is still hope that voters can decide on the issue in a special election. “(The Lakewood Strategic Growth Initiative) is going to make Lakewood more expensive than it already is. I’m going to fight it in the courts, or the ballot box, one way, or another,” Dorman said in a brief statement to the Lakewood Sentinel.

Cathy Kentner, a board member of the Lakewood Neighborhood Partnership and the woman who has been largely responsible for getting the initiative off the ground, said she was frustrated that the initiative has to go to another trial.

“I believe the signature gathering process shows that this is something that the community wants. Now voters are further frustrated,” Kentner said.

Jeffco BOE votes on official ballot language Measures will be listed as 5A and 5B STAFF REPORT

The Jefferson County Board of Education voted unanimously Sept. 6 on the ballot language for the bond and mill levy override voters will weigh in on during the November elected.

Last month the board voted to place a $567 million bond and a mill levy override of $33 million a year on the November ballot. Superintendent

Jason Glass announced the following day that the measures would be listed on ballots as 5A for the mill levy, and 5B for the bond.

The bond money would be used for facilities, building some new schools, making repairs, building additions and updating infrastructure.

The mill levy would be used to fund ongoing costs, primarily used to make teacher pay more competitive but also for classroom supplies, school safety measures and expanding the district’s full-day kindergarten program.

The last mill levy override and

bond issue supported by Jefferson County voters occurred in 2012.

More information about the bond

and mill levy are available on the district’s website www.jeffcopublicschools.org/.

Here Are Some Common Mistakes I’ve Seen Sellers Make When Selling Their Home

Selling your home is no small matter, and small mistakes can cost big dollars. So who can you trust to do right by you or to give you sound advice? That’s the question that prompted me to start writing this column over a decade ago and why I archive all my YourHub columns at www.JimSmithColumns.com.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about an agent who has been very successful getting listing appointments by claiming to have a buyer and offering to cut his commission in half if he sells it himself — but who admitted to me that he refers all buyers to an agent who’s not even in his own brokerage and hasn’t “double-ended” one of his own listings since March 2017.

A few years ago I instructed readers on how to verify agents’ claims of success by going to REcolorado.com and clicking on Find Agent > View My Listings > Properties I’ve Sold. The URL FindDenverRealtors.com was created by me to take you directly to the agent search page on REcolorado.com. Performing that search on the above-mentioned agent would have revealed that he had virtually no closings where he represented the buyer.

So, not verifying claims about having a buyer is the #1 mistake that I see sellers make. My suggested response to that pitch is, “Bring me that buyer and I’ll consider the of-

fer. If I accept that offer I’ll pay you 2.8% coop, but I won’t list with you just because you claim to have a buyer.”

That brings me to the second mistake I see sellers make: accepting the first good offer you get. You should treat any unsolicited offer as the opening bid on your home. Anyone who offers to buy your house for cash without putting it on the market is doing so with the intent of flipping it and making a 5figure or greater profit. Yes, he may save you something on commission, but you’ll expose your home to the larger universe of potential buyers (and thereby get the highest price) only by putting it on the MLS. That’s the third mistake — not having an agent on your side. You don’t want to be the only party to a transaction who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Sellers without an agent typically still pay 2.8% to a buyer’s agent, and for a couple percent more will likely net much more by exposing their home to other buyers and their agents.

Once you’ve decided to have an agent on your side, we encounter mistake #4: not asking the right questions when interviewing listing agents. You can find my suggestions in previous columns at JimSmithColumns.com.

Another mistake I see again and again is

Broker Associate Andrew Lesko Launches New Website Devoted to Duplexes, Triplexes & Multi-Family Listings Andrew Lesko is the broker associate at Golden Real Estate who specializes in townhomes and condos through his website GoldenTownhomes.com which gives readers in-depth information about the townhome and condo communities in Golden, including the latest active listings displayed on each individual community page.

Now Andrew has created another website focusing on duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.

Whether buying or selling, you will find information appropriate to your particular situation and need by visiting DuplexAlerts.com.

If you are interested in purchasing a small, multi-family property you can view the latest available opportunities. You can also request to receive alerts on just listed duplex, triplex or fourplex properties based on your requested property style and area of interest. If you are considering selling your multi-family property, this

website has an abundance of information about pricing strategies, selling tips, deferring capital gains tax and more. Properties can, of course, be listed on the MLS for sale, with full outstanding sales and marketing services or, you may prefer — for privacy purposes — to take a “quiet” approach whereby tenants don’t have to know that the property they inhabit is being offered for sale.

More information about this marketing strategy can be found on the Duplex Alerts website.

Andrew can also discuss 1031 Exchanges and other tax-favored options for selling your current multi-family property and reinvesting your proceeds — with capital gains tax deferred — into other real estate or non-real estate investments that better suit your lifestyle.

For more information, you can reach Andrew Lesko at 720-710-1000, or you can email him at Andrew@GoldenRealEstate.com.

overpricing the home. Even in a wild and crazy seller’s market, it is easy to overprice a home. So how do you know what the right price is? I’ve written about this before, too, but the short answer is to price your home based on previous sales, not on future expectations. It’s difficult to underprice a home, as a lower initial price is likely to attract more buyers and create more interest. It stands to reason that a higher number of motivated buyers will lead to a higher selling price. Asking buyers to submit their “highest and best” is the easy but usually not

the most effective strategy for maximizing sales price. I advocate telling buyers’ agents exactly what the current highest price is and going back to other bidders and asking them if they want to resubmit. This takes more work and a degree of patience, but it will not only get you the highest price for your home, it’s also the fairest way to sell a home in a seller’s market, something most agents seem to appreciate.

Take the time to scroll down through the headlines of previous columns on that website I mentioned above. You could learn a lot.

Thanks to Those Who Attended Drive Electric Week

We had a great turnout of EVs and people interested in buying an EV at our event last Saturday. A special treat was the participation of four owners who brought their new Tesla Model 3s, three of which are shown in this picture. The one on the left had only 26 miles on the odometer, because the owner drove it straight from taking delivery of it that morning! During the event we received notification that lifetime free supercharging with a referral code for certain Tesla models is being discontinued after Sept. 16th — next Sunday!

FESTIVAL ITALIANO proves to be a big hit again

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The weather was perfect for the Festival Italiano for residents who gathered in Belmar to celebrate Italian culture. The festival was perfect for people of all ages, and it offered something for everybody. People ate food, drank, listened to live music, got photos of themselves drawn and shopped for food, clothes and other items. This is the 14th time the Festival Italiano was held, and it was free for everybody to attend.

Risas serves 500 patients with free dental work on Labor Day This is the fifth year staff donated their time

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dan Spitale, 32, had never been to the dentist until recently.

That’s when he found out he needed to have the tooth extracted. But he couldn’t afford it, so he went home.

A week later he found himself in the dental chair at Risas Dental and Braces in Wheat Ridge. Spitale, a Lakewood resident, was one of 100 patients seen Sept. 3 during the companies Labor of Love event which offered free dental cleanings, filling and extractions to community members.

“I’m supper appreciative of these guys,” he said Spitale, adding that he would not be able to get the extraction for a while if the Labor of Love was not happening.

This was the fifth year doctors and staff from Risas Dental and Braces donated their time at its annual Labor of Love event. The dental group treated nearly 500 patients across its four participating locations, blanketing the areas from South Denver to Wheat Ridge and at two locations in North and South Aurora.

Jamon Jensen, orthodontist at Risas Wheat Ridge and Aurora South, said the majority of patients seen during

The event tried to break down those financial barriers for the community.

“With nearly 60-percent of Americans concerned about the cost of going to the dentist, we want to dispel the myth that oral care isn’t affordable,” said Risas Managing Director Jeff Adams. “Our goal has always been — and will continue to be as we expand in Denver, Phoenix, Tucson, and Las Vegas — to make oral care accessible and affordable for all, regardless of their insurance status or financial situation.”

For the doctors, it also feels good to give back to the community.

“The team sees how good it feels to give back and do things for people who

Lakewood lawyer sentenced for stealing $1.4 million

Lakewood, Mile High Youth Corps announce new partnership

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Conserving water and energy are goals that Lakewood’s Sustainability Division is always focused on. The division is set on having a positive impact on the city’s environment and making it a thriving community for future residents.

That is why Lakewood announced a partnership at the beginning of last month with Mile High Youth Corps (MHYC), a nonprofit organization that gives people ages 16 to 24 a chance to make money and learn hands-on job skills that better the community. The nonprofit works on community service projects, and it’s been at it for 26 years.

The partnership will focus on a project that targets some of Lakewood’s most vulnerable residents by offering them water and energy saving measures that don’t cost anything for residents. Those measures revolve around energy efficient toilets, bathroom and kitchen sink aerators, low-flow showerheads and education programs that teach residents ways to make their homes more energy efficient. The city and MHYC want to lower utility bills for vulnerable residents, and they’re hoping to help

350 households in the city.

“We’re excited to see the impact.

One of the great things is that (the project) is very measurable. We’ll get some great data to see what impact we made with energy savings and with households. This is really a win, win program to have Lakewood reap the benefits,” said Lynn Coppedge, Lakewood’s senior sustainability planner.

Lakewood is planning on supporting the partnership through marketing and outreach tactics. MHYC will reach out to at least 3,500 low-income residents over the next 18 months through neighborhood canvasing, direct mail, phone banks and client referral programs. City residents fit the bill of being low-income if they receive low-income supportive services, or if they report an annual household income of less than 80 percent area median income.

Jeslin Shahrezaei, director of development and communications for MHYC, said that some Lakewood residents living conditions’ make their utility bills more expensive than they have to be. Shahrezaei lives in Lakewood, and she believes that Lakewood is ready for the project.

“There are a lot of families in Lakewood who could benefit from

this. We want people to know what is available to them,” Shahrezaei said.

The project is set up so that people ages 16 to 24 can go inside low-income residents’ households and set up the different energy efficient items.

The education program is offered in English and Spanish, and some of its teaching are as simple as not leaving the sink water running when residents are brushing their teeth.

Lakewood and MHYC’s partnership is funded through the Colorado Water Conservation Board’s Water Plan Grants program.

Andrew Halpern, the project manager for MHYC’s energy and water conservation program, said he thinks Lakewood and MHYC’s partnership can have a rippling impact on the community.

“This partnership shows the opportunity that can arise to influence and make a triple-impact on our communities, our environment, and the development of our young people, when we bring together local governments, state agencies and non-profit organizations such as MHYC,” Halpern said.

To see if your household is eligible for the project call MHYC at (720) 974 0500, or visit www.milehighyouthT:9.625” corps.org.

Glenn William Gregory, a former lawyer in Lakewood, was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing $1.4 million from a trust fund account from his stepgrandmother.

Gregory, who is 56, was a trustee for the John B. Villano Trust, an account that was created by his grandfather, John B. Villano, to provide for 89-year-old Martha Violet Villano, the wife of John B. Villano and stepgrandmother of Gregory. He had power of attorney for Martha, and between 2008 and 2016, he transferred $1.4 million from the trust accounts to his personal bank accounts and his law firm’s bank accounts, according to prosecutors.

Gregory Gregory was already convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison in August 2017 for stealing $1.3 million from another trust fund that was also created to provide for his step grandmother. Between the two cases, he stole a total of $2.7 million.

Gregory used some of the money from the John B. Villano Trust as gifts for family members. He also used the funds for personal purchases like vacations, gambling and internet sex services.

The former Lakewood lawyer pleaded guilty to one count of theft of an at-risk person, over $500 on July 23.

Suicide prevention — ‘None of us can do this alone’ Mental health organizations in Colorado work to combat rising suicide rates

BY CAITLIN DANBORN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Juan Escobedo prods his students for an answer. It is still early in the morning, and the students, ranging in age from college-age to seniors, clutch steaming cups of coffee as they rack their brains for a response. Escobedo has asked the class to come up with a word for every letter of the alphabet that describes depression and anxiety — a stereotype, a symptom, whatever comes to mind. As he writes the responses on a flip sheet of paper and jokes about the legibility of his handwriting, the room has all the signs of a typical class. Except it isn’t.

Escobedo is teaching Mental Health First Aid, a class designed to teach people how to interact with people with mental health disorders, whether they be a friend or family member, co-worker, or a patient or client that someone might encounter in their profession.

The Mental Health First Aid class is one of the many resources that the Jefferson Center for Mental Health, Jefferson County’s leading mental health advocacy group, offers.

Amid rising suicide rates both nationwide and in Colorado, mental health

organizations are continuing to work hard to offer resources for To register for Coloradans to prevent a free Mental Health First Aid suicide and cope with class, visit www. mental illness. Their jcmh.org/mhfa/ efforts range from introducing legislation to partnering with public health organizations to ensure quality mental health care is available to everyone.

Whatever work these organizations are doing, they are doing so with the purpose of saving and improving the lives of all Coloradans.

Statistics recently released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state the suicide rate in Colorado increased 34.1 percent from 1999 to 2016. Colorado has the ninth highest suicide rate in the nation. In Jefferson County the suicide rate is 17.1 suicide deaths per 100,000 deaths, compared with the statewide rate of 19.1 suicides per 100,000 deaths.

Escobedo and his teaching partner, Katey Parsons, will later lead the group in a discussion dissecting many of the stereotypes that the group comes up with. They encourage participants to reflect on where a certain stereotype might stem from and what they can do challenge it.

Escobedo, a Mental Health First Aid instructor and bilingual behavioral health commissioner at the Jefferson Center, believes that deconstructing stereotypes is something the class does “like no other.”

Escobedo pushes his students to realize that there is no “cookie cutter approach” that will work on everyone when it comes to dealing with a mental illness. He encourages them to consider a person’s background when offering advice or support, recognizing that someone’s ethnicity or religion can shape how they view mental health.

Process for helping Mental Health First Aid, a nationwide program, uses the ALGEE acronym to walk people through intervening with someone with a mental health disorder: Assess for risk of suicide and self harm, Listen non-judgmentally, Give reassurance and information, Encourage appropriate professional help, and Encourage self-help and other support strategies. The class teaches attendees to apply the acronym to various mental illnesses, ranging from a neighbor having a psychotic episode to a significant other struggling with depression.

afraid to help somebody,” said Parsons, a licensed professional counselor at Red Rocks Community College. Parsons is contracted by the Jefferson Center.

Along with offering the Mental Health First Aid class — free and open to the public — the Jefferson Center also partners with public schools in Jefferson, Clear Creek and Gilpin counties to provide professional mental health support personnel in schools.

The organization also leads and facilitates the Suicide Prevention Coalition in those three counties. The coalition is comprised of community members from law enforcement to school district personnel and works to engage their community to prevent suicide.

“The other piece is making sure that we are all connecting in the community so that we can utilize each other as resources as well,” said Heather Trish, NCC, LPC, manager of trauma and suicide prevention services at the Jefferson Center.

Numbers tell story According to data released by Mental Health Colorado, a statewide mental health advocacy group, 8.3 percent of Jeffco residents say they did not receive mental health care when it was needed. Of those residents, a majority say it was due to either cost or medical insurance, followed by difficulty getting an appointment.

Walk for suicide prevention at Coors Field

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Highlands Ranch residents Sheri Cole and Lori Harper both lost a child to suicide. For the past year, they have been organizing the upcoming Metro Denver Out of the Darkness Community Walk, an annual fundraising event to bring hope and healing to others who have been affected by suicide.

“It’s just nice to know you are not alone, because you feel so alone when it happens,” said Harper, who lost her daughter to suicide four years ago.

More than 3,500 people are expected at this year’s walk at Coors Field in Denver on Sept.

22. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the opening ceremony is at 10 a.m.

To avoid long lines, participants can register online at afsp. donordrive.com until noon Sept.

21.

Hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the fundraiser features a three-mile walk, mental health resources, silent auction,

butterfly-release ceremony and workshops. Special touches such as a poster covered with notes of hope and a memory tree with photos of the loved ones lost create a sense of comfort and connectedness.

To date, $114,774 of a $275,000 goal has been raised. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 31.

Funds go toward education, advocacy and research. ASFP partners with and provides resources for several organizations and programs, such as Mental Health First Aid, a training program that teaches the skills to respond to signs of mental illness and substance use, according to its website.

“For any cause, more attention, dollars, resources, education and programs that we can bring to it will make an impact,” said Cole, who lost her son to suicide in 2009.

The walk grows each year, bringing more people together to connect and find comfort.

If you or someone you know is struggling, Colorado Crisis Service is available at 1-844-493TALK.

LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS

FROM PAGE 8

Mental Health Colorado is working to change that by integrating mental health care and primary care.

“The idea is that instead of forcing people to go one place to fix their body and another place to fix their head, we ought to be delivering those mental health and primary care services in the same location,” said president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado Andrew Romanoff.

Romanoff says this can help reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. Like almost every other professional working in the mental health field, he also recognizes that stigma can be another barrier for people seeking mental health care.

Cheryl Storey, manager of assessment and referral team/outpatient psychiatric services at West Pines Behavioral Health in Wheat Ridge, believes that people stepping forward

Mental Health Colorado works on the front lines of state legislative efforts to prevent suicide. One such effort passed during the 2018 legislative session in the form of Senate Bill 272. The bill will provide grant funding for schools across the state to train and educate on suicide. Schools will be able to use the money to train school personnel on recognizing the warning signs of suicide in students and connecting students with the appropriate mental health support systems.

Andrew Romanoff, president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, is hopeful that the bill will provide much-needed funding for such education and training.

“Obviously it doesn’t do much good to tell a school--or anybody else-- `here’s all the things you ought to do, now good luck figuring out a way to fund it,’” he said. and sharing their stories about mental illness is key to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.

Another suicide prevention bill commonly referred to as a red flag bill was defeated in the state Senate earlier this year. The bill would have made it “possible for courts to order the removal of guns from the home of someone who’s a danger to himself or herself or others,” according to Romanoff.

“Most gun deaths are suicides. The red flag bill--which we supported--would have made a dent in [those deaths]. We know that there are different means of dying by suicide, but a gunshot is the most lethal,” said Romanoff.

According to the Colorado Health Institute, firearm suicides are more common in Colorado than they are nationwide. Firearms were involved in more than half of all suicide deaths in 2016, the state’s peak year in suicide deaths. more willing to talk about it, the more

it does become normalized,” Storey said. She hopes that more people can “step forward and help us all realize that people with mental illnesses are our neighbors and our family members and our teachers and our police officers.”

For Romanoff, this crisis is not simply statistical. When he lost his closest relative to suicide three and a half years ago, it became profoundly personal. He joined Mental Health Colorado because while he recognizes that he cannot bring back his cousin, he can work to prevent suicide.

“I want to spare other families from the anguish that we’ve suffered,” said Romanoff.

“None of us can do this alone,” said Trish of people struggling with mental illness. “So reach out, connect with people who can help support.”

“There’s always someone out there who cares. There’s always a tomorrow,” said Storey.

The Colorado Department of Education has announced six finalists for the 2019 Colorado Teacher of the Year competition with the sole finalist to be announced by Nov. 1.

Bear Creek High School teacher Kelly Cvanciger is among the six finalists.

“Kelly is a phenomenal teacher,” said Bear Creek Principal Lynn Torr. “I’ve been able to see her in action for many years. She’s been a great program builder though mock trial and the National History Day Program. She finds ways to engage kids in real authentic work and I think that is why kids enjoy her classes so much.”

The Colorado Teacher of the Year program annually acknowledges an exceptionally dedicated, knowledgeable and skilled K-12 classroom teacher to represent the entire profession in Colorado. The Colorado Teacher of the Year automatically becomes Colorado’s nominee for the National Teacher of the Year competition. The winner of the national competition will be named in April, 2019.

“Colorado values the commitment and dedication of all of the state’s educators who every day make a difference in the lives of children,” said Colorado Education Commissioner Katy Anthes.

“These six finalists are all innovative leaders in their school communities and compassionate and inspiring educators in their classrooms. Any one of them would be an excellent ambassador for the teaching profession.”

The 2019 finalists for Colorado Teacher of the Year are: Kelly Cvanciger (Bear Creek High School, Jefferson County) Cvanciger has taught several subjects at Bear Creek since 2002, including AP world history, AP government and politics, U.S. government, geography, world history, mock trial, French I and II and National History Day. Cvanciger is a question leader for the College Board Advanced Placement World His-

tory leadership team and is the regional coordinator for the Greater Denver Metro National History Day contest.

She advocates for vulnerable student populations including students with disabilities, mental health issues and family hardships in an effort to address the needs of the whole child.

Margaret Cypress (Bradley International School, Denver Public Schools) Cypress has taught in DPS since 2003 and was hired to be the reading specialist at Bradley Elementary School. She was part of a staff that brought the International Baccalaureate Program’s Primary Years Programme to Bradley.

Cypress also has organized family events at the school, such as Math Night, Cardboard Challenge and Science Night at Bradley. In addition, she started a summer camp with more than 150 students to raise money for science supplies.

Katie Goldsberry (Longmont Estates Elementary, St. Vrain Valley School District) Goldsberry – known as “Mrs. G” – prides herself on establishing positive relationships and classroom community above all else.

Amy Jones (Sunset Elementary, Moffat County RE-1) Jones has taught kindergarten in Craig for nine years. A love of literacy and authentic learning inspires her to develop projects that bridge the community and the rest of the world to her young learners.

Nathan Pearsall (Vista Ridge High School, District 49) Pearsall teaches AP U.S. history, critical thinking and is implementing a gifted and talented program at Vista Ridge High School. Additionally, he has been an instructional coach, department chair, student council adviser, and coach of both soccer and track.

Nellie Thomson (West Grand School, West Grand School District) Thomson teaches third grade and is passionate about motivating individuals to become lifelong learners and successful adults.

Get a kick out of this football observation

t’s football season! I’m a fan … and this past weekend did not disappoint, with a thrilling win from the Broncos (I’m always a believer), and such a heroic performance from Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers that the booth announcers could hardly contain themselves.

For anyone who missed it,

(who, by the way, won back-toback Division II Championships in the mid-1990s).

At the game, I noticed that one of the Rocky Mountain Showdown teams employed signs on the sidelines to alert players to the action on the field, such as

Inspiring, to say the least.

This particularly struck me because it was such a contrast to something I witnessed at the recent Rocky Mountain Showdown between Colorado State University and the University of Colorado. I didn’t really have any skin in the game, because my Colorado team is the UNC Bears

34-year-old Rodgers had to leave the game with a serious knee injury right before the half, when his team was down 17-0 to the Chicago Bears in another episode of their historic rivalry.

Rodgers came back in the second half, clearly hurt, hopped around mostly on one leg, and led the team to a 24-23 win.

I LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fellman for school funding measures As a retired math teacher and administrator, former school board member, parent of two successful Jeffco graduates, and a grandmother, I’ve dreamed of the day we’d have an opportunity to increase education funding statewide.

In Jefferson County, despite years of insufficient funding and difficult budget choices, our students are still blessed to have access to learning opportunities that don’t always exist in other parts of Colorado. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that all students across our state have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential!

While serving on the school board and reviewing the budget during four years of continuous, detrimental cuts, I learned firsthand that Colorado’s education funding has not recovered since the recession. In the 2017-2018 school year alone, schools across the state were underfunded by nearly $830 million, plac-

ing us (depending upon the metric used) about 39th nationally. That is unacceptable! Every student deserves the chance to succeed regardless of zip code.

As a result of our woefully inadequate funding, school administrators are constrained to make educational programming decisions based on available funds – not on what is best for students.

Amendment 73 addresses current funding challenges by increasing the base funding for all students. It also ensures that local control prevails – each school district (with input from their community) makes the important decision on how to spend the increased funds.

My grandchildren and all Colorado children deserve the educational funding that will allow them to compete in our 21st century economy.

may have mentioned before that, as Robert DeNiro once said, baseball is one of my “enthusiasms.” So, of course, the last several weeks have been wonderfully entertaining for me, as our Colorado HITTING Rockies have climbed to the top HOME of their division.

Still, even with that, this has been a difficult season for me to watch. The game that I learned to play, that was still America’s Favorite Pastime in the era Michael Alcorn of Davey Lopes, Joe Morgan, and Ricky Henderson, is a very different game than the game that you will see if you make your way to Coors Field any time soon. This year’s brand of baseball is, well, boring.

And a little bit fascist.

The 2018 baseball season featured the first April EVER in which there were more strikeouts than base hits.

Now, to the non-baseball fan, that may not sound like such a big deal, but consider that “ever” in baseball encompasses about 118 years, and secondly, that means that the average baseball game these days looks a lot more like a game of catch than it does an actual contest. Well, catch, interrupted occasionally by really long hits that the fielders don’t even bother to chase.

And why has the game evolved

this way, you may ask? Because somewhere, in a closet in the basement of the Oakland A’s clubhouse, some genius mathematician-nerd with a computer has a formula and a power point that says this approach to the game will produce more wins.

It is called analytics; it is drilling statistics to the point that we can stare at the minutest minutia and draw enormous conclusions from next to nothing, and my friend, the baseball guru, says that it has ruined the position player because everybody is trying to be Sammy Sosa.

Now, think about that for a second: studying minute information to simplify a process so we no longer need to have well-rounded skills and still win. Does that sound at all like another arena?

Do the words “silly season” mean anything to you?

About 20 years ago Governor Bill Owens became a national sensation because of the incredible success of the get out the vote campaign that he designed. And one of the main features of this successful campaign was — wait for it — voter analytics.

Minute data. His game was, predictably, stolen by Democrats and then modified, then re-stolen by Republicans, and so on and so on, to the point now that both sides already know who will vote for them, who will never vote for them, and the one or two issues that people on the fence may use to make their decision.

Next steps to stopping overdose deaths Thanks for your attention to Overdose Awareness Day, which is recognized internationally on Aug. 31.

In recent years, Colorado has made strides in enacting policies to curtail overdose deaths. State law allows anyone to carry the lifesaving medication, naloxone (Narcan), which safely and easily reverses respiratory depression in opioid overdose emergencies.

The website stoptheclockcolorado. org lists pharmacies where naloxone is available without a prescription. In addition to naloxone, witnesses to an overdose can call for help under our Good Samaritan law without fearing arrest or prosecution for drug possession. But we can do more!

Along with these vital measures, Colorado urgently needs supervised consumption services (SCS). These are legally sanctioned facilities designed to reduce the health and public order issues with public injection.

Colorado Community Media welcomes letters to the editor. Please keep in mind the following rules: • Submit your letter in a Word document or in the body of an email. No PDFs, please.

• Letters must be limited to 250 words or fewer.

• If you are writing a letter regarding a candidate or issue related to the November election, you may only have one letter on the candidate or issue published between now and the Nov. 6 election.

• Include a source — and a link to that source — for any information that is not common knowledge. We

will not publish information that cannot easily be verified.

• If you quote a person, we must be able to easily verify that he or she said what you state they said. That means the quote must have been published, stated during a public meeting or found on video.

• Only submit ideas and opinions that are your own — and in your own words.

We will not publish any letter that is clearly part of a letter-writing campaign.

• Letters may be edited for clarity, grammar, punctuation and length.

Those who use drugs – and potentially overdose – in places like parks, alleyways and restrooms can instead do so in a controlled, hygienic setting where medical supervision, sterile equipment and responsible disposal practices protect the program participants

• Letters will not be published from the same writer on consecutive weeks.

• Submit your letter by 5 p.m. on Friday in order for it to appear in the following week’s newspaper.

• Include your full name, address and phone number.

We will publish only your name and city or town of residence, but all of the information requested is needed for us to verify you are who you say you are.

• Email letters to gwallace@ coloradocommunitymedia. com Thank you, and we look forward to your letters.

as well as the broader community.

SCS deliver cost-effective, evidencebased harm reduction services on-the-spot along with referrals to drug treatment, health care and social services. More than 100 such facilities are operating worldwide and they

are empirically shown to save money while improving public health. What’s more, not a single overdose death has ever been reported at an SCS site.

SCS are part of a comprehensive, fiscally responsible public health approach to overdose and other negative consequences of problematic drug use.

It’s time for Colorado to take the next step by establishing SCS. Amanda Bent, Drug Policy Alliance School funding is community funding A letter writer last week objected to the cost of the Jeffco Schools District’s funding request. His objection is that it “takes money out of the local economy.” Where on earth does he think local school taxes go? Not to the Washington swamp but right back into the local economy to pay for teachers, new and upgraded buildings, supplies and more, things that, besides helping our students, put money in the pockets of local citizens and businesses.

John Sim Edgar, Jr. John Sim Edgar, Jr., 75, of Lakewood, CO passed away at home on Aug. 29, 2018 . He had battled Small Cell Lung Cancer since March of 2017.

John was born in El Centro, California to John and Maybelle (Kinnear) Edgar. He graduated from Central Union High School in 1960 and spent a year in college at Cal Poly, Pomona, CA. On Feb. 14th, 1964 he married Mary Chubbic and they raised two children, William and Katharine Edgar.

When he had a few days to call his own, he was off to go fishing, hunting, or flying. After retirement at age 67 he continued to enjoy the outdoors, taking care of our plants, trees and lawns and marveling at all the birds around, most of which

he knew the breeds. He loved vacation times, especially an Alaskan cruise with which he surprised Mary on her 50th birthday. That gave him such delight to be able to do this for her.

One of his favorite pastimes was playing cards. Cribbage was his favorite game (and he usually won!) but he enjoyed many others as well: Pinochle, Canasta and Rummy. He was also an avid reader and always had a book nearby.

John is survived by his wife, Mary; his son, William (Jennie); his daughter, Katharine; and his grandson, Christopher. Also brothers Robert (Sharon) and Michael (Janice) and numerous nieces and nephews.

Great American Beer Festival is set to BREW UP good times

More than 800 breweries from across nation will take part in Denver event

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

n 1993, after geologists Charlie and Janine Sturdavant lost their jobs, they purchased a Victorianstyle home in Golden’s historic district. They filled a machine shop behind the house with old dairy tanks. They transformed the sunroom into a tasting room. The back yard became an intimate beer garden, with picnic tables and bulb lights draped overhead.

More than 30 years later, Golden City Brewery is the city’s second largest brewery.

“Nothing was planned out — it happened organically,” said Derek Sturdavant, the son of the original owners. After he graduated from college, he took on the role of head brewer, or as his bio says, “mad scientist.”

Golden City Brewery, 920 12th St., is one of more than 800 breweries from across the U.S. that will be participating in this year’s Great American Beer Festival in downtown Denver.

Sturdavant will be pouring favorites like the Cherry Bomber, which takes a half-pound of cherries per pint, and the Clear Creek Gold Pale Ale, a German-style beer.

The three-day beer extravaganza is from Sept. 20-22 at the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St. in

A culinary exploration of Denver’s history

N

ot everyone can say they achieved a dream they had while in high school. But local wine expert and blogger Simone FM Spinner did just that with the publication of her first book — “Denver Food: A Culinary Evolution.”

“Becoming a published book author has been a goal since I was fifteen years old and I finally did it,” she said. “I love food, cooking, and dining out. Working in the wine industry, I have always been lucky to dine out frequently as a part of my work; often in the latest, hottest, most interesting restaurants in the city.”

In her book, Simone explores how German, Japanese, Chinese and Italian immigrants made their way to Colorado as part of COMING the gold rush. Soon ATTRACTIONS they were opening up saloons, which later turned into a booming restaurant industry.

However, all the recent growth in metro area is causing some of the city’s most unique and historic locaClarke Reader tions to shut down.

Which partly inspired Simone to start writing.

“My book is essentially a love letter to the city that I fell in love with, which doesn’t really exist anymore,” she explained. “Yet, it is also a glimpse of the future and of the amazing things that are happening right now in Denver.”

There’s a lot to know about the culinary scene in Denver, and Simone hopes readers come away understanding there’s a lot of collaboration and community between chefs.

She also wants readers to know the Denver culinary community is actively doing their part to stave off waste, food insecurity and hunger, in their restaurants and in their communities.

Most importantly, Simone wants readers to understand how many great tastes and flavors there are to explore right at their fingertips.

“Denver has long been ignored by food writers, influencers, and critics.

People assume that Denver is just about steaks, Mexican food, and novelty dishes. Denver’s culinary scene is a bit of a sleeper,” she said.

“There is so much truly great food in this city and people should get out and explore a little bit. I really appreciate the immense culinary diversity in Denver.”

BEER FROM PAGE 14

The AHA is a division of the Brewers Association, a national nonprofit dedicated to craft brewers.

The largest of its kind in the country, the Great American Beer Festival is an opportunity for beer lovers to rejoice in all things beer, from tastings to food pairings to educational sessions with master brewers.

This year, more than 8,000 styles of beer will be served. More than 62,000 attendees are expected over the three - days.

“It’s like a big ol’ music fest but everyone is a craft beer fan,” Sturdavant said.

Brewers get creative and showcase new recipes to beer drinkers and to each other.

“I always love the fest because there is so much great beer from all over the country,” said Jeff Tyler, head brewer at Spice Trade Brewery, formerly Yak & Yeti Brewpub, in Olde Town Arvada. “You really get to explore and try some things that you wouldn’t be able to try unless you were hopping on an airplane every weekend and going to different places around the country.” n Tyler, a New York native with a degree in mechanical engineering, has been the head brewer since 2016.

He brews his eclectic beers in a seven-barrel brewhouse located inside the Yak & Yeti Restaurant, 7803 Ralston Road. The Indian, Nepalese, and Tibetan food restaurant is in a 153-year-old historic home.

“A lot of the beer we do has an interesting culinary influence to it,” said Tyler. Some of his styles are a jalapeno-infused beer, chai milk

Rattlesnake project looks closer at South Table Mountain

BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Ryan Borgmann looked at the ground confused, listening to the loud beeps on his radio.

“It should be right here,” he said, pointing the antenna toward a small patch of tall grass.

Then he saw it.

Then the other researchers saw it.

The rattlesnake they were looking for was perfectly still less than two feet from Borgmann.

As of Aug. 16, a research team had captured, implanted a radio transmitter in and released 17 rattlesnakes on South Table Mountain Golden.

It’s a new phase of research after a similar project on North Table Mountain last year.

Jeffco Open Space contracted with Adaptation Environmental Services to conduct the study last year and continued that contract with a similar study on South Table this year.

Purpose The study was spurred by the concept to make the park more accessible and user friendly.

South Table is an unincorporated 844-acre park in Jefferson County, but Jeffco open spaces wants to make that mountain more accessible. Currently, one of the entry points is a gravel lot not large enough for a dozen vehicles in a residential neighborhood along Golden Hills Road. Jeffco is consider-

TIPS TO AVOID A SNAKEBITE • Always be aware of your surroundings. In general, rattlesnakes won’t attack without reason, like being surprised or startled.

• Rattlesnakes tend to like high grass or heavy underbrush, so keep yourself, and your dog on the trail.

• Keep your eyes open and earbuds out when in snake country to avoid stumbling into one.

• If you do encounter a rattlesnake, remember the 30-30 rule — take

30 steps back, then wait 30 seconds for it go away. If it does not, try stomping your feet hard on the trail. The vibrations will often annoy the snake and encourage it to move.

• If you get bit, first move away from the snake and call 911 and wait for help to come to you. Remain calm and sit a safe distance away from the snake. Try to keep the bite area at heart level or lower.

ing a building a larger, paved parking lot with restrooms there.

However, for visitor safety the county wants to avoid building near a snake den or snake habitat.

“With the population of the Denver metropolitan area continuing to increase every year, it is imperative to provide healthy, nature-based experiences ‘close to home’ at parks such as South Table Mountain Park,” stated the Jeffco Open Space master plan updated this past spring. “This is ac-

Andrew DuBois, citizen science coordinator for Jeffco Open Space, said that also includes formalizing the trail system and eliminating the “social trails that crisscross.”

If Jeffco can reduce the likelihood of a trail going over or next to a rattlesnake den, it can lower the rate of human-snake interaction.

The study Each rattlesnake collected goes to a lab where they make an incision to insert a thumb-sized radio transmitter, each operating on a different frequency.

“As long as we’re within a couple hundred yards, we should be able to hear it,” explained Borgmann, rattlesnake specialist with Adaptation Environmental Services. “It just puts off a little beep and you can triangulate the direction in which the snake is and as you get closer you can adjust some of the settings to get it narrowed down to exactly where they are. Usually we can get to within a foot of them pretty easy.”

Borgmann tunes to the frequency of the snake he wants to find, points an antenna almost half is body height and rotates it, listening for a beep. A beep indicates the correct direction, the louder the beep the closer he is.

“One thing we discovered is that rattlesnakes do not den up in one spot, they pretty much den up around the mountain,” said Bryon Shipley, research, training and outreach specialist for Adaptation Environmental Services.

He said there were three main dens, but they were scattered across the mountain.

“One of which was close to the trail,” Shipley said.

He said that in late fall there were up to a dozen snakes

were using the den near Cottonwood Canyon Trail on the east side of the mountain.

While the snakes tend to use various parts of the mountain to den, when they choose one they usually stay near it.

“Snakes don’t travel very far in terms of home range because, I think, the ecology of the area is so rich and supportive that the resources there are concentrated, so there’s no reason to migrate long distances to obtain food, water, mates, etc.,” Shipley explained. “Most of them stay put in a general small area the whole season.”

Part of the study was on humans, though, as Jeffco Open Space and Adapta-

tion Environmental Services surveyed park visitors and made notes of every visitor interaction while in the field. They talked to 393 park users in the field plus had 269 visitor surveys turned in.

“We tended to find that park visitors at North Table … they tended to espouse the belief that rattlesnakes have ecological value and that was surprising, in some ways to us, and encouraging,” said Andrew DuBois, citizen science coordinator for Jeffco Open Space. “What we were somewhat alarmed by was a general lack of knowledge of what to do in the event of encountering a snake or in the event of a snake bite … those were the areas where our visitors’ confidence was pretty low.”

“We play Marco Polo with the radio,” Borgmann said.

He would step, pause, rotate right, rotate left, step forward, pause, rotate, step, step, pause, rotate, step forward. This process would continue until the beeps were loud enough indicating the snake was nearby.

“This one is notorious for hiding, but he’s one of my favorite snakes,” Borgmann said as he tracked another snake with the radio. “His colors are extremely contrasty, so everything is very vibrant.”

Yet, when the research team came upon him, the snake was difficult to see.

“He’s really good,” Borgmann said as he realized where his favorite snake was hiding. “He’s right behind this piece of grass.”

Researchers would like to capture a few more snakes to track, but in specific area.

Currently, they have just one in the valley where the parking lot is proposed.

“We want to know, basically, are they going to den up nearby? What kind of movements are snakes mak-

He said they won’t know about their denning habits until November.

Currently, many snakes recently gave birth, which may make them a little “jumpier” than usual, DuBois said.

A prairie rattlesnake lays in an ambush coil waiting for prey on South Table Mountain on Thursday, Aug. 16. This is one of 17 rattlesnakes on the mesa in Golden that have a radio transmitter implanted for Jeffco Open Space and Adaptation Environmental Services to track travel habits and den spaces. Jeffco is considering building a parking lot and restrooms along with formalizing some of the trails to make South Table more accessible and user friendly.

well on the gray rocks speckled with lichen.

Some curl up next to a patch of tall grass. Others hide under rocks.

“Rock outcrops are the rule of thumb here, that’s what they like,” DuBois said.

Even as researchers stand just a few feet away, the rattlesnakes are placid.

Many, on a recent evening, were perfectly still in an “ambush” coil.

DuBois said they’re waiting for a rodent or other prey to wander by to strike.

Contrary to some opinion, an upright posture while shaking its rattle is not the primary reaction to humans.

“This is a snake relying on his first and best defense: camouflage,” DuBois said.

The rattlesnake hopes humans don’t see it and if they do, that they won’t be a threat.

“This is the part you don’t see most of the time,” DuBois said.

Because they blend so well to their surroundings, many people might walk by a rattlesnake and never know it. So the snake freezes. If someone gets too close, the snake may flick its tongue — first quickly to capture a scent then more slowly and deliberate to assess the situation.

It’s when it then deems a person a threat that the rattle gives off a warning before adjusting its posture.

DuBois noted, however, that steps in that process may be skipped depending on the snake’s personality or its assessment of the situation.

The kickoff event, from 5-9 p.m. at the Lamar Street Center, 5889 Lamar St., Arvada, launches the six-week, self-guided craft beer tour throughout

the county, which runs from Sept. 28 to Nov. 11.

“This event was hosted by Jefferson County Public Library in 2017, and it received a tremendous response from the community,” Jo Schantz, executive director of the library district, said in a news release. “The foundation decided to turn this into a fundraiser and partner with local businesses to help raise money for library programs.”

Money generated by the kick-off event will help support the library’s STEM/STEAM initiatives, early childhood literacy and the hugely popular summer reading program.

General admission tickets for the kickoff event are $15 each, and VIP tickets cost $25 each, enabling guests to view the Cool Car Collection of rare and exotic vehicles in the Steel Affairs showroom. Games include giant beer

“KOR” for kickoff return, presumably to make sure the right personnel were ready to enter the field. An assistant would hold these signs high over his head and waggle them around so everyone could see them.

What really caught my attention was the “PUNT” sign, not because of what it said, but because of when it was used: as the offense was lining up for a third-down play.

Although I’m sure this occurrence is so routine that it probably doesn’t even register with the team on the field, it was jarring to me to assemble the players, in advance, for defeat – a punt on fourth down – instead of success – conver-

sion to a first down.

Unusual, to say the least.

Other people around me were commenting on the “PUNT” sign, and my companions at the game found it humorous. Again, I know it must be integral to their training, their practice, their coaching, but I found it deflating (no pun intended).

There are plenty of “signs” out there in life, if one is looking for them. I tend to believe in the ones I like, such as finding that a cookbook I didn’t even know I needed was on sale so of course I have to buy it, and to disregard those I don’t like, such as missing out on concert tickets as the first caller with the right answer because my phone didn’t connect soon enough.

But I honestly don’t know how I would handle it if life

CALENDAR

threw me a “PUNT” sign every time I was ready to make some sort of breakthrough, every time a little effort, determination and inspiration could produce reward instead of defeat. Sometimes it’s so much easier – and perhaps safer – to prepare for the punt than to push through for a potentially successful outcome.

About to drive off for a workout? Punt … or jump in the car. Gearing up for a crucial conversation? Punt … or approach with care. Ready to submit a business proposal?

Punt … or push send.

Thrilling, to say the least.

If you were, like I was, a bit disgusted by the spectacle of Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings last week, consider it in terms of advanced data. Were the Republicans trying to make a case for Judge Kavanaugh? No, they already have the votes in the Senate, and they know their voters already approve of him. Were the Democrats trying to derail his nomination? No, they know they don’t have the votes to stop him, and they know the only way to keep their base happy was by turning it into a circus.

Did either side do anything to convince anybody in the middle?

No. Because people in the

160 years ago, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas travelled around Illinois together for weeks trying to convince voters of the wisdom of their policy positions. Over the next two months, I’d be shocked if you ever heard opposing candidates ever address the substance of each others’ positions, much less do so in a dignified and amicable way. It is the politics of swing big and miss big. With we, the people, almost guaranteed to strike out.

Turnovers doom D’Evelyn in showdown against Eaton

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Eaton’s offense really didn’t need to be on the football field Sept. 8 at Trailblazer Stadium.

The Fightin’ Reds, ranked No. 9 in the CHSAANow.com Class 2A football poll, scored three defensive touchdowns and forced two other turnovers that allowed Eaton to start eventual touchdown drives inside D’Evelyn 20yard line.

“This win is really big,” said Eaton sophomore Gage Butler after a 34-0 victory over No. 10 D’Evelyn. “To come out here and show our skills. It was a great win.”

Eaton senior Henry Fritzler got the Reds going defensively recovering a fumble by D’Evelyn senior quarterback Evan Willis at midfield. The defensive lineman rumbled 50 yards into the end zone to give Eaton (2-0 record) an early 7-0 lead.

Butler came up big in the final minutes of the first half with a pair of touchdowns. He intercepted a pass from Willis and returned it 80 yards for the second defensive touchdown for the Reds with 1:12 left before halftime.

“I just saw the ball and played the ball,” Butler said of the interception and impressive return where he weaved his way into the end zone.

“I was pretty tired on the way down there. The stiff arm won it.”

Another fumble by Willis in the final minute was recovered by Eaton senior Judson Church with 38 seconds left in the second quarter. Three plays later Butler scored from 2 yards out to push the lead to 20-0 with 8.9 second left before halftime.

“He (Bulter) is just an athlete and a competitor,” Eaton coach Zac Lemon said of his sophomore running back/ defensive back. “I love it that is age doesn’t get to him. He doesn’t care about experience. He is taking advantage of his opportunity.”

A strange stat for the first half was Eaton ran just 13 offensive plays

D’Evelyn had 36 offensive plays from scrimmage for 141 yards, but the three Jaguar turnovers was the reason why D’Evelyn (1-1) trailed 20-0 at the break.

“You tell your kids to take care of the

ball and if you don’t turn it over you’ll win the game,” D’Evelyn coach Jeremy Bennett said. “Early I though our offense was clicking. We kept shooting ourselves in the foot.”

Standout Performers Macee Thompson, Lakewood The senior third base player was 2 for 4 at the plate against Fruita Sept. 8. Her double helped ensure the Tigers won the game 9-5. She currently enjoys a lofty .596 batting average.

Johanna Landmark, Lakewood The Tigers’ senior provided 31 assists to her team in their Sept. 8 match against Grand Junction. She also added four of her own kills.

Arvada West AD follows winning path to Hall of Fame

Nick VonFeldt, Wheat Ridge The junior running back led the way with 25 carries for 124 yards and three touchdowns last week. The homecoming game performance on Sept. 7 helped the Farmers to a 28-14 victory over Widefield.

Daniel Erger, Golden In a season of quite a few Golden goals on the soccer field, sophomore attacking midfielder Erger stood out last week, scoring twice on Sept. 6 against Silver Creek, and twice again on Sept. 8 against Bear Creek.

Colton Muller, Pomona The senior quarterback struggled in the air Sept. 7 against a tough Valor Christian squad, but contributed 110 yards on 14 runs in his team’s tough 14-6 loss. His longest run of the night was busting free for a 50-yard gain.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS: Colorado Community Media selects athletes from area high schools each week as “Standout Performers.” Preference is given to athletes making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Glenn Wallace by noon on Sunday at gwallace@coloradocommunitymedia.com

rvada West athletic director Casey Coons is a Hall of Famer.

It is an honor that I envisaged since he was wellschooled. Coons is a fellow graduate of Denver’s Abraham Lincoln High School.

Coons, who graduated from high school years after I OVERTIME did, will be part of the 24th Western State Colorado University Hall of Fame class that will be inducted on Sept. 14 in Gunnison.

Jim Benton He was an offensive lineman for Western State and a 1980 graduate who played on three Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title teams and twice played in NAIA postseason playoff games.

After coaching at Black Hills State University and Western Oregon, Coons returned to Western State in 1988 as an assistant for head coach Duke Iverson. He was promoted to assistant head coach and defensive coordinator in 1991.

In three seasons starting with the 1991 campaign, the Mountaineers won three conference titles, advanced to the NAIA playoffs once and made two NCAA playoff appearances.

“I think I’m the first assistant coach to go into the Hall of Fame at Western State,” said Coons, who was Arvada West’s head football coach from 2002 to 2011. “We thought we were going to get fired in 1991 unless we turned it around. It wasn’t just me. So much went into it. It’s a we thing, especially in football.”

Brent Tollar was one person who sent in a nomination letter.

“Coach Coons created a wellbonded defense and team mentality that focused on hard work, grit and an unbreakable ideal that we always stood together as a team,” wrote Tollar.

“The only thing that mattered was the name on the front of the jersey. The very foundation that I believe Mountaineer football stands for comes from someone like Casey Coons.”

Tigers faster than Lightning Lakewood football wins nonconference road game 37-24 PHOTOS BY STEFAN BRODSKY

L

egacy has had a tough time finding wins so far this season, dropping to 0-3 Sept. 6 against the Lakewood Tigers.

The Tigers, now 2-1 overall, defeated the Lightning 37-24 at the District 12 North Stadium in Westminster.

After falling behind 13-0 in the first quarter, the Lightning came to within three after a Jaden Wingfield touchdown just before the half.

Lakewood put the game away in the second half, with 21 third quarter points and a fourth quarter field goal.

Lakewood next hosts Parker’s Chaparral Sept. 14 at the Jeffco Stadium.

Legacy hopes to get a win Sept. 14 when they host Eaglecrest at the District 12 North stadium.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 23

Eaton sealed the victory scoring on back-to-back plays early in the fourth quarter. Sophomore quarterback Scott Grable connected with Church for a 19-yard touchdown coming off an interception by senior Alex Maravilla that set up the Reds in the redzone.

On the Jaguars’ next offensive play D’Evelyn senior

running back Enzo Franzese took a hard hit and fumbled.

Senior Ty Garnhart picked up the loose ball and ran it in from 13 yards out for the third defensive touchdown. The score put Eaton up 34-0 with 8:48 left in the fourth quarter.

“We were so excited about the way we played,” Lemon said. “We know we are really young and inexperience in our secondary, but they executed to perfection today. They excepted the challenge and step up today.”

D’Evelyn returns to Trailblazer Stadium to host The Academy (2-0) at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14. It will be the Jaguars’ homecoming game.

“We’ll regroup. You’ve got to look at the mistakes and correct those,” Bennett said.

“We’ve got to clean it up and fix it.”

BENTON FROM PAGE 23

Match point Granted, it wasn’t the U.S. Open tennis championships.

It was the 13th annual Willow Creek Classic doubles tournament that took place Sept. 5-9 at courts in the Willow Creek neighborhood in Centennial and other nearby South Suburban courts.

Tennis players from the south Denver area apparently like to wrap up the summer tennis season with competitive, tough matches that are fun and without a lot of pressure.

Plus there was always food and drinks waiting at the conclusion of matches in the quaint, unsanctioned tournament in which players have to register by mail.

This year there were 225 players entered to play in women’s 3.o, 3.5 and 4.0 doubles and men’s 3.5, 4.0 doubles.

There was competition in 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 mixed doubles. The tourney concluded with a unique, eight-game pro set mixed doubles event.

“The tournament does attract good tennis players who feel welcome and are not intimidated,” said tournament organizer Rick Bolin.

“What sets the tournament apart from other tournaments is that people love how social it is, how friendly it is and we as organizers go out of our way to make sure there is food and drinks available.

The fridge is fully stocked.

“We attract great tennis players from all over the south metro area from Highlands Ranch, Ken Caryl, Parker, the Pinery, and last year we had four women who came down from Aspen. We allowed as many people to register as we could find courts and then we had to stop.”

Willow Creek resident Jamele Leyden has played in the tournament since it started.

“Even if you are not playing there is someone that I know that is on the court,” she said. “It’s a great tournament to relax. It is well run.

Everyone is playing to win but it’s such a relaxed environment and at some point you are going to be playing against people you know.

Because it’s non-sanctioned there is no pressure. It’s fun.”
