MY NAME IS

STEPHANIE DAVIS

I handle administration and training.

Our ship has around 3,200 men and women who are part of our crew on the ship. The USS John C. Stennis is enormous. It is as long as three football fields, weighs over 100,000 tons and it has the capacity to carry over 70 attack jets, helicopters and other aircraft.

These aircraft take off and land on our ship at sea.

Lakewood native and electronics technician for the Navy I am a Lakewood native, and I graduated from Green Mountain High School in 2011. I decided to join the Navy, because I wanted to be around like-minded people with integrity. I really like the shipmate mentality. Everybody watches out for each other and helps each other out.

Lakewood and the Navy Living in Lakewood and being part of the Navy has given me lessons to take personal responsibility when I have to complete certain tasks, or lead others.

Things get put into perspective for me when I go up on the flight deck and see the amount of water that I’m surrounded by. When I was growing up in Lakewood, I never really saw water.

Life at sea I am currently serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. The carrier serves as a floating airport at sea.

I work as an electronics technician, and it’s my job to operate the nuclear reactor that gives energy for the ship. I am also responsible for maintaining reactor safety, and I’m a secretary for the chief ’s mess.

Lakewood man sentenced to probation for child porn

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Arvada firefighter Michael Gowey, 36, was sentenced Oct. 31 in Jefferson County District Court to six years sex offender intensive supervision probation. Gowey, a Lakewood resident, pleaded guilty July 26 to one count of sexual exploitation of children.

Gowey was arrested in March on nine counts of sexual exploitation of children which were filed by the First Judicial District after investigators found that he allegedly sent and received inappropriate

images through a messaging app.

As a result of his guilty plea, the other eight counts against him were dropped.

Gowey worked as a firefighter with the Arvada Fire Protection District beginning in 2011. He was fired when the district learned of the charges against him earlier this year.

Gowey According to the arrest affidavit, police in Nashville were investigating messages found on the computer messaging app Kik where an account

under the name “Jen Thomas” with the screen name “softballgrl32,” talked about sexually abusing a sixyear-old and offered to send pictures in exchange for an Amazon gift card.

The account, eventually traced to an IP address at Gowey’s Lakewood home, allegedly sent 14 pictures of the sexual abuse, and received one.

After initially denying allegations against him, Gowey told investigators that he used the Kik application to both send and receive sexually exploitative material, but continually denied that he ever touched a child or thought about touching a child,

according to the arrest affidavit.

As part of his probation, Gowey will be required to register as a sex offender for 20 years. In addition to standard terms and conditions of probation, Gowey will be required to participate in and successfully complete sex offender treatment; comply with a Computer Use Agreement created by the Probation Department; maintain a full time job, or education program, and stable, verifiable residence; comply with sex offender registration requirements; and comply with terms and conditions for the supervision of adult sex offenders.

Senior Homeowners Are at Risk of Being Conned/Scammed Out of Their Home Although I’ve written on this topic before, it certainly bears repeating. If you are a senior citizen living in a home you own — probably free and clear — you could be the target of some less-than-honest people.

I was recently reminded of this when I received a visit last week from a friend who does home health care for seniors. She recounted how one of her clients regularly receives phone calls and letters from people offering to buy her home “as is, for cash, with no real estate commissions to pay,” and fears that this elderly widow may be taken in by one of these unscrupulous solicitors.

This fear is understandable because, to the trusting and unwary, the pitch can be appealing. Unfortunately, it’s almost certain that the offer that follows the pitch will be far below the true market value of your home.

Such people only want to buy your home because they can flip it quickly for its real value. They depend on you not knowing its true value.

Many senior citizens who receive such solicitations don’t have the internet access or computer skills to perform even a rudimentary value check on their home. The lowlifes who perpetrate these scams know this.

Consider a senior who bought their home decades ago for $30,000 or less. An offer of 10 times that amount might be very appealing. But what if their home was actually worth 20 times the original amount? Imagine you

sold your home to someone for $300,000 only to later discover that he sold it a week or two later for $400,000 or more without doing a thing to it? Would you feel cheated? You probably would – and rightfully so.

You’ve probably read stories or seen television coverage of young people marrying, or at least befriending seniors, investing a decade or less of their young lives in order to inherit (or be gifted with) a lifetime’s accumulation of wealth upon their “loved one’s” death.

Even some caregivers, who have ostensibly dedicated their lives to caring for the elderly, have been known to put forth a loving and compassionate front, only to manipulate their charge in such a way so as to gain access to someone else’s lifetime of hard-earned wealth.

Many years ago, I was asked by a surviving sibling to sell her deceased brother’s home, only to discover that her brother, who suffered from dementia, had been convinced by his caregiver to add her to the title of not just his house, but also his car and his bank accounts. Sadly, the sister had no legal recourse – although she fought mightily – and was ultimately forced to take the home off the market, whereupon the erstwhile caregiver promptly listed and sold the home, pocketing the proceeds.

If you are a senior or a senior couple living alone it’s important that you have a clear understanding of this issue. Get your relatives and heirs involved before you respond to any solicitation you receive. If you don’t have relatives or heirs, reach out to organizations that provide resources for seniors, which exist in our community. Their counselors can provide valuable insight and guidance that can help

Pleasant View Home Just Listed by Carol Milan This large tri-level home at 1310 Nile Street is in the community of Pleasant View, about 3 miles from downtown Golden. The large corner lot is zoned R2 for potential future development. This home has over 2,100 square feet, ready for you to bring your updates for instant equity. It has a covered patio, attached garage and a walk-out lower level. The home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It was built in 1954. You can experience a narrated video tour of the home at www.PleasantViewHome.info. Then come to the open house on Saturday, November 10th, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Or call Carol Milan for a showing at 720-982-4941.

protect you against the many cons and scams that are designed to take advantage of the trusting nature of your generation.

If the solicitation involves real estate, reach out to me or to a real estate professional you know you can trust. You can also ask the senior resource organization to recommend one. A good real estate professional can ascertain pretty quickly whether the offer is in line with the market or if someone is trying to scam you by purchasing your home for well below its real-world value. At a minimum, if you decide to participate in a private, offmarket sale of your home, let me or that other trusted Realtor provide you with honest, professional representation.

An example of this occurred just last week, when a reader contacted me about selling his home to a friend for $275,000. I advised him, after performing a quick value check, that he could easily get $350,000 for his home. He told me that he and his wife were okay with that because they were happy to help a friend. I sensed that this couple were of sound mind and not being conned or scammed, so I agreed to handle the sale as a transaction

broker for a nominal fee.

I’m glad this couple called me and that I was able to serve them. Their situation, along with the caregiver scenario above, was the inspiration for this week’s column. I fear that far too many of our elderly neighbors are being conned or cheated out a significant portion of the value of their homes, and I want to do my part to minimize the damage inflicted upon them.

If you are an elderly homeowner, you might be considering the option of selling your home and moving into a senior community.

The choices can be as confusing as they are plentiful, as you try to determine which kind of community is right for you and which best fits your needs. Realtors are licensed and paid to help with your real estate needs but are not usually well-versed enough on this topic to help you properly evaluate the various options. We can, however, connect you with a trained professional who can help you through that process, while we help you by selling your home for the highest possible price. Call me at 303-525-1851 and I’ll be happy to arrange a get-together.

Historic Downtown Golden Home with ADU On the outside, this home in Golden’s 12th Street Historic District retains all the charm from when it was built in 1913, but come inside and you’re firmly in the 21st Century! The owner did a gut-rehab in 2006, which included a rear addition with gourmet kitchen on the main floor and a gorgeous master suite upstairs. They also built a 3-car garage on the alley with a high -end Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) above it. How high end was it? Think hardwood floors and hot water heat for starters — just like the main house! The tenant pays $1,800 per month, which further justifies the $1.1 million listing price. Visit www.

atman, Klingons, storm troopers and Gryffindors were just a few of the characters that could be found Nov. 3 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds for the Jeffco Library’s Fandomonium.

Free to the public, Fandomonium was a celebration of all things pop culture.

“One of the things we try to do is create accessible experiences,” said Cindy Jaye, public services manager for Jeffco Libraries. “Some similar events are very expensive and they aren’t within reach of a lot of people. Our goal was to

make something that was for everybody … youngest kids to adults.”

Fandomonium included a variety of activities from a cross-fandom murder mystery to a potion making station, a silent disco and classic ‘80 arcade games.

Jaye said, the event, which was inspired by comic conventions, makes sense for the library because those events celebrate books, TV shows, movies and games — all things the library does.

“We would like the community in Jeffco to know that the library is for them and we have tons of stuff,” Jaye said. “We love books. But we are about much more than books.”

Dressed as Luna Lovegood and Dobby, sisters Mariah and Tayla Mendoza pose with a cutout of the three leading characters from the “Harry Potter” series.

A couple Cold Assault Stormtroopers made an appearance at Fandomonium Nov. 3.

Erin Cady and her daughter, Alena, dance it out at the silent disco, part of the Fandomonium festivities.

tudents and teachers at Green Mountain High School began the process of constructing a house for a local family in need. One part of the program is geometry, and students apply those geometry skills toward constructing the house. It recently won the Succeeds Prize 2018 for Excellence in Education Innovation, an award that recognizes Colorado public schools and educators who work toward student success. The program was originally started by Scott Burke at Loveland High School. Today, Burke works as the Green Mountain’s construction teacher.

Bear Creek High School recognized for work with multilingual students ESL program has 140 students

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Getting an education comes with many challenges for students who walk through the hallways of Colorado schools. Some students have learning disabilities, while others may deal with family issues at home that create another hoop for students to jump through as they try to obtain a high school degree.

Aside from those issues, there is another problem that dwells on some Colorado students — they can’t fully speak English. According to A+ Colorado, a nonprofit organization that is committed to making sure that every Colorado student has access to an “excellent education,” Colorado schools had over 128,000 English-learning students in Colorado. These “emerging” students are children who speak a language other than English and are learning English through services in public schools, according to the nonprofit.

That statistic, as well as other details about how emerging multilingual students are performing in Colorado schools was released in a report

by A+ Colorado at the library of Bear Creek High School in Lakewood. A+ Colorado decided to release its report at the school, because Bear Creek’s

more social, and ESL has given me a chance to really show who I am,” Barakoti said.

The high school’s ESL program offers foundational English classes for beginning and emerging English learners, literacy classes to help students with academic reading and writing and “sheltered” English classes for advanced learners.

Students in sheltered English classes work off the same curriculum as regular English classes, but sheltered classes are more tailored toward multilingual students.

Key findings and recomendations from A+ Colorado’s report

emerging multilingual students have displayed some of the highest academic achievement levels in the state in recent years. The school’s emerging multilingual students had a graduation rate of 94.7 percent in the 2016-17 school year, according to Catherine Baldwin-Johnson, Jeffco’s director of dual language programs.

Prasanga Barakoti credited the school’s English as a Second Language services (ESL) for helping him improve his English. Barakoti, a

sophomore at Bear Creek High School, first arrived to the United States from Nepal in 2012. He said he kept to himself, because his English was poor. In front of a packed room at A+ Colorado’s report release, Barakoti spoke as if English was his first language as he boasted about Bear Creek High School’s ESL program.

Getting the flu shot takes five seconds

Even if it’s something as simple as administering a flu shot, nurses at the Jefferson County Public Health department enjoy helping everyone get the services they need.

“A big part of what we do in pubic health is make connections,” said Melanie Rogers, a public health nurse with the Jeffco health department.

“These connections are both with the patients themselves, and to help them connect with other resources and services in the community.”

For one Lakewood resident, Jefferson County Public Health was a recommendation from a Medicaid representative as a good place to receive a flu shot. This was when he moved to Colorado from New York about two years ago. On Oct. 29, he visited Jefferson County Public Health for the second year to get the flu shot.

“I don’t skip,” he said, whose identity is being withheld for patient confidentiality. “It’s so simple. It’s so easy.

Why spread communicable diseases if you can avoid it?”

After Jefferson County Public Health Ann Shen greeted him in the waiting area and got him settled in the room, the two had a quick conversation:

GET A FLU SHOT AT JEFFERSON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH Flu shots from Jefferson County Public Health are available to anyone at the Lakewood clinic, 645 Parfet St. An appointment is required. To make an appointment, call the clinic at 303-2397078. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 8 a.m. to noon on Tuesday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday.

Cost for a flu shot varies by type of vaccine and health care coverage, but can range from about $22 to $49. Medicare, Medicaid, Child Health Plan Plus and several private insurances are accepted.

Translation and interpretation services are available.

To learn more about the flu shot or other immunizations and services offered by Jefferson County Public Health, visit www. jeffco.us.

“It looks like you’re up-to-date with everything, so you’re here just for the flu?” Shen said.

He answered yes.

Shen left the room for a few minutes to prepare the shot, then went over some prescreening questions: Are you ill today? Have you received any other immunizations recently?

Having answered no to all, Shen then administered the shot in the Lakewood resident’s right arm. It took about five seconds. Shen then told him he may experience a little redness or swelling for a day or two.

Ann Shen, a nurse with Jefferson County Public Health, administers the flu shot to one of her patients on Oct. 29.

CHRISTY STEADMAN

Rogers later explained that some people may also feel a little tired or experience a slight headache after getting the flu shot.

“That’s perfectly normal,” she said.

“It’s your body’s response to the vaccine.”

Just make sure you get a good night’s sleep and stay hydrated, Rogers added.

The Lakewood resident, 53, has been getting the flu shot for as long as he can remember, he said.

“Call it good luck, good genes or maybe good flu shots,” he said, “but I haven’t had the flu since I was a kid.”

Bear Creek High School is also known for working with content area teachers to build support for English language learners. Jereimiah Quinonez, an ESL teacher and chair of the ESL department, said the program is more than just helping students learn English – it’s about helping them prepare for college.

“When (students) come in, there is a lot of insecurity surrounding so many things culturally, linguistically and just being away from home. From the time they arrive, to the time they leave, it’s incredible to see the transformation,” Quinonez said. “When you see them become young adults who are confident to now embrace a new culture, language and be successful beyond high school, for me is the greatest reward — to see how much

growth they have as individuals.

Bear Creek High School’s ESL program has 140 students. Many of the high school’s students come from Bear Creek K-8, the top ranking Colorado elementary school in 2018 for English language proficiency growth, according to A+ Colorado.

Jason Glass, superintendent for Jeffco Public Schools, said the school district is proud of Bear Creek High School’s ESL program.

“It happens because of talented professional educators. It happens because of dedicated and hardworking and passionate students,” Glass said.

“It comes from supportive families who make education a priority in their children’s lives. It comes from a team of support professionals and administrators at the school who clear the way for quality instruction to happen, and it takes a community who cares about and values education. It takes all of those things coming together for these kinds of results to emerge.”

VOICES On civility, Standard Time, and sleepy staffers

A

t this writing, because of publishing deadlines, we don’t yet know the results of last week’s midterm elections. I’m certain there are conversations to be had ahead … with, I hope, renewed civility and a commitment to listen and learn. We’ll see.

My topic today, though, has almost the same impact on us everyday people. I’m referring, of course, to my favorite weekend of the year, the “fall back” to Standard Time. And I’m only just slightly joking.

That’s because we residents of the Denver metro area recently tied for second among the top 15 U.S. cities with the sleepiest workers.

Research conducted by the staffing firm Accountemps surveyed more than 2,800 workers who were 18 years of age or older and employed in office environments. Denver tied for #2 with Austin and Indianapolis for

sleepiest staff.

Only 2 percent of the workers surveyed said they are never tired on the job. However, 74 percent of these professionals perform their jobs while tired. In fact, 31 perALCHEMY cent answered “very often” when asked, “How often do you work while tired?”

I know I do, often.

For thing, I don’t sleep well, and haven’t, for the better part of 20 years.

Sometimes the next morning is actually when I finally drift Andrea Doray off and because my work regularly requires conferring with colleagues on the East Coast or in Europe, I’m up and at it a few hours later.

But that’s just me, and our some-

what dismaying #2 rank has led me to wonder why the rest of we Denverites are so sleepy. Here are my thoughts: 1. We work hard and we play hard – sort of the de facto slogan for Colorado, isn’t it? We want to get out on our bikes after work – or play tennis or hike or hit a patio with an adult beverage or two. Then after that come evening activities such as meals or child care that push our bedtimes back even further.

2. Our geographic location means that we often get up earlier, especially our farming and ranching residents.

Plus, as I mentioned, many of us need to accommodate co-workers in other time zones. And in my experience, we in the Western states just tend to get on the job earlier versus either coast … our 9-to-5 days seem to start at 8:00 a.m. or 7:30 a.m. (or even earlier). If that gets us out earlier – see #1 above – so much the better.

3. Our commutes are eating up larger chunks of our days. When I moved to Arvada 13 years ago from Colorado Springs, I considered my 20-minute commute then to be extreme. However, for a work assignment earlier this year, I traveled 90 minutes each way.

Needless to say, even with the longer hours of Daylight Saving Time, I had little energy left for dinner, much less for fun activities.

Yes, the fall-back weekend is my favorite of the year … in part perhaps because the ensuing shorter days could signal earlier to my body and brain that bedtime is near. Maybe, too, we’ll now be having more civil discussions about the state of the country that don’t wind everybody up. We’ll see.

Andrea Doray is a writer who would love to hear your ideas about why we’re among the sleepiest workers in the nation. Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

W LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Jeffco tax cut setting us up to fail One reason that the Jeffco budget may be cut is the loss of revenue caused by a two to one vote by the County Commissioners to eliminate the County portion of the Business Personal Property Tax. To justify the revenue cut supporters reported that the majority of the savings would go to small businesses when, in fact, most would go to the biggest businesses.

A share of the eliminated tax revenue has gone to cities like Golden. If the reduced revenue requires budget cuts a good place to start is to stop payments to

Holiday season made special at Barr Lake

T

he changing seasons and coming holidays are setting the stage for some fun and educational experiences for kids and families at Barr Lake State Park. Here is an early look at the state park fall schedule and opportunity for some early holiday planning and scheduling.

The Friends Group of Barr Lake are offering a special day for veterans on November 11th (Veterans Day) 10am to 2pm. Free omission, park tours in the comfortable Eagle Express van capped with bowl of warm chili and conversation with park staff makes for an adventuresome way of saying Thank You vets! Reservations are encouraged by calling 303-659-6005.

Fall season is one of the two most dramatic monthly seasonal changes to observe local bird species. Migration is

in full force for hundreds of bird types.

Barr Lake is in the midst of filling from the South Platte River for winter storage, and as a result is the popular roosting and attracOUTDOOR tion site for migratory waterfowl. The LIVING Guided Bird Walks

by Park Naturalist makes for a rare and exciting time to observe, photograph and identify ducks, geese raptors and host of smaller birds in the midst of their annual seasonal travRon Hellbusch els. Tours will start at the Nature Center on Nov. 24 and Dec. 22.

This big December event is a popular

annual Week-long Sale & Holiday Open house at the Nature Center. Creative gifts for kids and stocking stuffers makeup unique Christmas items for kids with a once a year 20 percent holiday discount.

A not to miss event is the annual Holiday Open House at Barr Lake State Park. There is virtually something for everyone, including refreshments and time with Park staff. A full day includes the 9 am bird walks, craft making at 10am-2pm and an 11 am winter bird feeding workshop, plus an opportunity to explore the park.

A growing special event is offered by reservation, that being Full Moon Hikes. Explore the sights and sounds at Barr Lake State Park during the rising full moon period. It is amazing how active the Park is at twilight!

Call the Park about toddler activities. The Park Elves share time, stories and food with small toddlers 3-6; join the kids New Year’s Eve noon party and toddler story time Nov. 1 and Dec. 6, plus Christmas parade of lights in December.

For adults the Beer for the Birds Fundraiser at Big Choice Brewery 21 south 1st Avenue in Brighton is an annual gathering of Park supporters set for Nov. 30 5-8 p.m.

These programs and host of other equally fun, educational and exciting experiences await families at Barr Lake State Park. A call to 303-659-6005 will open up many ways to enjoy the fall season and coming holidays.

A feast of vegan food.

Options for dining out — or in — during the holidays

ason Miller grew up in a small mountain town on the Western Slope of Colorado and in an agricultural community in Montana. He often hunted with his father, a taxidermist. They ate venison nearly every day.

When he was 19, Miller started to question his lifestyle.

“Most of that meat I saw killed and even participated in the hunt,” Miller, now a Littleton resident, said.

“At a certain point, it started to add up on me.”

That year, Miller, now 47, became a vegetarian. A year later, for the welfare of all animals, he switched to a vegan diet. The diet is referred to by many health organizations as the strictest form of vegetarianism.

Vegans abstain from all animal-based products — meat, eggs and dairy.

Some reject wool and leather products.

Around the corner is the holiday season. The time of year typically involves celebrating with friends and family, indulging in rich roasts and decadent, dairy-filled deserts — items that are not on a vegan’s list of things to eat.

or the entire second half of the 20th century and beyond, most Americans were presented with one perspective on the island nation of Cuba.

Thanks to governmental changes in both nations, many are gaining a better understanding of the nation than ever before.

That all important cultural and environmental exploration can begin at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s, 2001 Colorado Blvd., new exhibition, “¡CUBA!” This familyfriendly exhibition — presented in English and Spanish — is free with general admission entry.

“The exhibits covers many aspects of Cuba, both as a natural ecosystem and as a culture,” said Hugo Valdez, museum programs specialist at the museum. “It is important we proCOMING vided new perspecATTRACTIONS tives on the island.

We want people to know how vibrant the culture is there.”

The island nation is actually an archipelago of more than 4,000 islands and keys, and home to 11 Clarke Reader million people.

Cuba is also one of the region’s most ecologically diverse countries, with the Caribbean’s healthiest coral reefs, most significant wetlands and largest rainforest.

The main feature of the exhibition is a replica plaza, which gives attendees the chance to learn more about day-to-day life in a Cuban town. By wandering through the plaza, visitors can learn about everything from dominoes, foods and coffee and music that can be heard on a local radio station. There’s also information on the nation’s 16 baseball teams and the vintage cars that make Cuban streets such a colorful and nostalgic means of travel.

On the more natural side, visitors can explore re-creations of the island’s habitats, with lifelike models representing its distinctive wildlife, both modern and extinct, and live lizards. About 50 percent of Cuba’s plants and 32 percent of its vertebrate animals are endemic, found only on the island.

As is the case with every exhibit, the museum has integrated the Denver community into the proceedings, adding live musical and dance performances at various times SEE READER, P15

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

But with the right amount of planning and communication, vegans like Miller make it work.

Plan ahead For people on a vegan diet, planning ahead is key, said Cynthia Dormer, a registered dietitian and assistant professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

“Plan ahead what your meal is going to be,” Dormer said. “Find things that you really enjoy and that are special to you so that you can enjoy the holiday.”

That’s easy for Miller, who buys meat and dairy substitutes at the local grocery store. His favorite during the holiday season is a tofu “tofurkey” breast with stuffing inside.

-For dessert, his freezer is stocked with vegan ice cream, which is typically made with a coconut or almond milk substitute.

“There are so many options now,” Miller said. “There’s always some central dish that you can have.”

Vegans looking to dine out have options. m

during the exhibition’s run, and contributing to exhibits with profiles and personal mementos from local Cuban Americans.

“Cuba is not a stagnant country with a lot of movement on a lot of fronts, especially recently,” Valdez said. “We hope the exhibit will bring down some of the walls people have and to ignite their curiosity. I want attendees to say, ‘What else is there in Cuba?’”

“Vegan people can sometimes have a self-righteous attitude, and certainly they are right in the sense that their approach is more environment- and animal-friendly,” Dormer said. “But if the people around them feel judged for eating their favorite food, that can cause some conflict.”

In Miller’s experience, many people view eating vegan as too challenging and expensive.

Police agencies grant former police officer’s wish Joe Obechina, a former Jefferson County officer, is battling cancer

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Joe Obechina stepped out of his house in Lakewood to a hero’s welcome of police officers eagerly waiting for his appearance. Obechina, with a cane helping him stand, made his way through his driveway as he greeted the officers.

He spoke to different officers, posed for photos and made his way back inside his house to rest for a moment.

Obechina, a former officer who spent 30 years with the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office and five years with the Marines, has seen his health and energy drastically decrease as he battles multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is a form of cancer that causes low blood counts, bone and calcium problems, infections and kidney problems, according to the American Cancer Society.

Joe Obechina greets Jim Lucas outside his house before venturing off to Steamboat Springs.

That didn’t matter to Obechina the day police officers were waiting for him outside his house. He was getting ready to spend a weekend at Steamboat Springs with his family — a place he has loved to go to since his childhood days when he would go hunting and fishing.

Obechina got a chance to go up to Steamboat Springs for what might be a final time thanks to help from the

chance to go up there. They fulfilled a dream of mine to go back up there and see the town at least one more time before my parting,” Obechina said.

Mark Miller, a deputy for the Jefferson County Sherriff ’s Office, was assigned to put together the police escort. Miller started in law enforcement only months after Obechina did, and the two have been close friends ever since then.

Jefferson County Sherriff ’s Office and the Defenders Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club. The Jefferson County Sherriff ’s Office paid for Obechina and his family to go up Steamboat Springs while the motorcycle club paid for his hotel room. At least 10 police agencies escorted and lined the route form Obechina and his family up to Steamboat Springs.

“I never thought I’d get a

“Aside from work and from everything, he’s like family.

The finality of everything, and the fact that this was one of his final wishes … I was just extremely proud to have the ability to be able to do something like that for him,” Miller said.

Annette Smoker, a member of the Defenders Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, has known Obechina since their childhood. Smoker helped raise money for the hotel room, and she said she was filled with joy when she saw Obechina see the officers outside of his house.

“He’s a hero, and I want people to know how much blood, sweat and tears he gave to the community. I’m proud to be his friend,” Smoker said.

Obechina said his mother, children and grandchildren spent the weekend in Steamboat Springs with him. He emphasized how grateful he was to be able to spend time with his family, because they don’t get to be around each other all the time.

“I spent a lifetime serving my community and doing what is right. It meant everything to me to serve,” Obechina said.

Localhost will contain a 60-foot stage that will be used for events and tournaments, along with a full-service bar.

“Denver is close to my heart as a place I have traveled to annually for decades,” said John Fazio, founder and CEO of N3rd Street Gamers.

Colorado-based 98th Signal Battalion prepares for deployment This marks the battalion’s first full deployment since WWII

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For Capt. Justin Brown, an Arvada resident, deployment means leaving his family and friends behind. It means leaving beautiful Colorado, missing ski season and racking up his mountain bike. But it also means supporting a mission he believes in.

A mission dedicated to ensuring freedoms of those abroad who are under threat.

Brown is one of over 60 men and women from across Colorado who are preparing to deploy just after Thanksgiving with the U.S. Army Reserve 98th Expeditionary Signal Battalion Alpha Co., which is based in the Denver metro area.

This deployment marks the battalion’s first full deployment since departing to the Pacific Theater in 1943 during World War II. It is also the first time they’ve deployed as members of America’s Army Reserve, as the battalion was an active-duty unit during WWII. During this deployment, the 98th — part of the 335th Signal Command (Theater) — will provide and manage communication and

Lt. Col. Joseph Miller, commander of the 98th, said that while the unit is deployed, the most important thing the community can do is support the soldiers and their families.

The support that family members give deploying soldiers is something Moten acknowledged at the ceremony — which was standing room only with civilian attendees.

“It means a lot to us standing here in uniform to know that we have you behind us,“ Moten told families in attendance. “We couldn’t do what we do without you.”

Chatfield football cements playoff spot with win over Bear Creek

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Chatfield had an unlikely group cheering on the Chargers during Friday night’s regularseason football finale Nov. 2 at Jeffco Stadium.

Despite being rivals schools separated by 2.4 miles, a number of Dakota Ridge players and coaches were on hand rooting for Chatfield to come away with a victory against Bear Creek.

The Chargers delivered with a 44-11 victory over the Bears to send the Chatfield and Dakota Ridge to the postseason.

A Chatfield win concluded what was a wild race for the Class 4A Jeffco League title.

Chatfield (7-3, 4-1) and Dakota Ridge (6-4, 4-1) finished tied for the conference title. However, Dakota Ridge’s head-to-head victory over Chatfield gives the Eagles the tiebreaker and automatic bid to the 16-team state tournament that begins next week.

Chatfield held a 20-3 lead at halftime against Bear Creek. The Chargers turned a pair of Bear Creek turnovers on special teams into 10

“Our special teams played a big role in tonight’s game in getting the

momentum,” Chatfield junior linebacker Colin Simcox said.

SEE FOOTBALL, P24

olorado Mesa University volleyball standout Kasie Gilfert has a message that sounds simple for players who will be participating in the CHSAA State Volleyball Championships on Nov. 8-10 at the Denver Coliseum.

Now, here comes that word “however,” which usually means the statement that follows contradicts the previous words.

So when Gilfert says to have fun, she knows that isn’t easy when putting in the hard work, trying to win and OVERTIME having to deal with adversity presented during matches and tournaments.

The message Gilfert was sending was that it going to get tougher at the next level so have fun in high school.

Jim Benton Gilfert played in the state tournament when she was a four-year volleyball starter and letter winner, plus a two-season captain at Legend. She set school single-season records for hitting percentage (.428) and blocks (158) as a junior. She also lettered in track and field.

“The biggest advice I have for the girls playing in the tournament is to just have fun and enjoy those moments,” said Gilfert. “Enjoy who they are playing with and also enjoy volleyball because some of them are seniors and they might be going to the next level or they might not be. So for some, it could be their last time playing and you want it to be a positive experience and you learn so much stuff from those experiences in volleyball.

“We have so much responsibility in college that fun is not an option. You have weights in the morning, practice, traveling and there is so much more that comes with the higher level of volleyball.”

The 6-foot redshirt sophomore is a middle blocker/right-side hitter who is having a banner season at CMU this season.

Gilfert, a transfer from Northern Arizona, leads NCAA Division II in hitting percentage at .453 and has recorded five 20-plus kill efforts.

She is the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference leader in hitting percentage and also ranks high in kills, total points and blocking.

Gilfert, as of Nov, 1, led all three NCAA divisions in hitting percentage and she is on pace to break school records for hitting percentage.

This season she became CMU’s first ever American Volleyball Coaches Association Division II Player of the Week.

FOOTBALL

FROM PAGE 23

Chatfield senior Garrett Martin scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to open up the scoring and cap off a 15-play drive that chewed up half of the first quarter. Martin’s mother passed away earlier in the week and McGatlin wanted to get the senior linebacker the chance to get in the end zone to honor his mother.

“The first thought was we’ll get him in the end zone,” McGatlin said. “Right away it was able to happen with us getting down to the 1-yard line. It was like his mother was looking down on us. We really feel for his family.”

BENTON FROM PAGE 23

She has been selected as the RMAC Player of the Week three times so far this season She said playing in the CHSAA state tournament helped her and can help others.

“It helps you just because when you play there, there is so much happening around you, like there are other courts around you and there are a lot of fans,” she explained. “When you reach that higher level there are all those other distractions and you have to learn to tune them out. Playing in a tournament like the state tournament prepares you for that.”

While getting the victory was on the mind of the Chargers. The biggest sign of emotion for Chatfield was teammates greeting Martin after his touchdown.

“That was the best part of the night,” Yanda said of Martin finishing out the Chargers’ opening drive with his first career touchdown. “He is our brother. We all have his back. We love him. That is what made our day today.”

Chatfield’s second touchdown was an 18yard touchdown pass from Yanda to senior Carson Lucas. It looked like Yanda would be out for the season after suffering a shoulder injury, but the senior has been back for a couple of weeks now. The Chargers have scored 82 points the past two games after their loss to Dakota Ridge on Oct. 18.

Senior Charlie Wildermuth ended up

kicking a trio of field goals for the Chargers.

Back-up quarterback Jack Wells and junior running back Daniel Nickels both had long touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

“We got in, that’s all that matters and we’ll make the most of it,” Yanda said about the postseason.

The lone scores for Bear Creek was a 32-yard field goal by senior Axel Gonzalez in the first half and a 22-yard touchdown pass from senior Nate Madrid to senior George Martinez in the fourth quarter.

Bear Creek (4-6, 3-2) needed a win to get into the big dance. The Bears were No. 24 in RPI, but if they finished tied with Dakota Ridge for the 4A Jeffco League title Bear Creek would have the tiebreaker thanks to a head-to-head victory over the Eagles to take

the automatic bid.

The 4A state bracket was released Sunday, Nov. 4. Dakota Ridge received the No. 11 seed and will head to No. 6 Montrose for a first-round game 7 p.m. Friday, Nov 9. Chatfield took to the No. 13 seed and will faced No. 4 Broomfield at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10.

The Bears started the season 0-4, but won 4-of-5 games to make their case for the postseason bid. Bear Creek coach Zach Morris had his team overcome the loss of starting quarterback Isaiah Romero in Week 7, along with missing Martinez for a handful of games.

“Proud of the boys,” Morris said. “They battled to the end.”

Dennis Pleuss is a communications specialist for Jeffco Public Schools with a focus on athletics and activities.

Bye week to get better Eight football teams enjoyed a bye in the Class 5A playoffs and got a week off before second-round games scheduled to be played on Nov. 10.

ThunderRidge was awarded the No. 8 seed and earned a first-round bye, along with Valor Christian, Columbine, Cherry Creek, Eaglecrest, Grandview, Ralston Valley and Pomona.

“It is definitely unchartered waters for Colorado high school playoffs to have a bye week,” said ThunderRidge coach Doug Nisenson. “The grind of the season, we played 10 straight games and we had our camp right at the end of July and then had a week off before the official start date. So it’s good to have a chance to rest a little and refocus on some littler things that can’t always be addressed the week of games.

He said teams on a hot streak may not like the bye, but it can help those teams that are dealing with injuries.

“If you are banged up, there is no doubt the bye is helpful,” he said.

Rest is good but teams have to maintain their routines. With the extra time and not having to install a game plan during the first week of the bye, teams can go over some basics that can sometimes be pushed aside during the regular season.

“Instead of installing a game plan the first week we worked on what we feel we need to be better at,” said Nisenson. “We got back to the basics of how we want our kids to run certain routes and little things that at the beginning of the year you get to spend time on but during the season you are coaching on the fly because the goal

is to get the game plan installed and teaching the kids what they are going to go against.

“We’ll see how those top eight teams fare in the second round but it’s a real cool thing for our program to be put in that category with the other teams in the top eight. We’ve told the team that you’ve earned yourself the right to rest a little bit but the teams that are really going to capitalize on this opportunity are the ones that recognize that the off week is a week to get better like any other week.”
