Link On Demand set to launch next month Shuttle service preparing for implementation across city

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree has championed a program that is being touted for its innovative transit service and is already being mimicked by cities in the state and across the country.

When the Lone Tree Link On Demand shuttle service comes to full force Feb. 4, the program will provide a more complete service allowing users to request a ride, similar to Uber or Lyft, to and from anywhere in the city. The pilot program closed on Dec. 28.

Lone Tree stands out among communities implementing the on-demand shuttle service. The city’s size – about 1,547 people per square mile – and the demand from residents to travel throughout the city combine to make on-demand micro-transit more essential to the city than a typical bus or shuttle service, according to city economic development director Jeff Holwell.

“There’s still a demand for mobility, but it’s not the big buses, it’s a micro-transit solution,” Holwell said.

“On Demand is proving to be the most efficient use of resources. What we’ve done with our pilot program was to learn if it even worked, learn if there was deamnd, and there clearly was demand.”

The program is designed specifically to serve residents in and around SEE LINK, P9

Stories of the year in the south metro area

A look back at the news events that shaped 2018

BY CHRIS ROTAR CROTAR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The year began with mourning.

On the last day of 2017, Douglas County Sheriff ’s Deputy Zackari Parrish, 29, was fatally shot by a man authorities believe was mentally ill at an apartment complex in Highlands Ranch. Matthew Riehl, 37, also wounded four law enforcement officers and two civilians before being shot to death by members of the regional SWAT team, according to the sheriff ’s office.

By New Year’s Day, details would emerge about Riehl, a military veteran and lawyer who waged what Sheriff Tony Spurlock called “an ambush-type of attack” on Parrish and the other officers.

At the same time, grief over the loss of Parrish, a husband and father of two young children, gripped the community. His funeral on Jan. 5 drew law enforcement personnel from around the nation.

The procession that preceded it drew hunParrish dreds, maybe thousands, of community members, who lined roadways to pay their respects to the Parrish family and to show support for law enforcement.

During the funeral service, Spurlock spoke proudly of Parrish, whom the sheriff said remained calm and compassionate as he offered to help the man who would ultimately kill him.

“It’s up to us to remember him and to be like him,” Spurlock said of the fallen deputy.

The following is a look at some of the other stories that helped shape 2018 in the south metro Denver area, as chosen by editor Chris Rotar, with input from the reporting staff.

New superintendent for DCSD The Douglas County Board of Education voted to hire Thomas Tucker as the new superintendent in April, following two years without a permanent leader. Erin Kane had served in the role in an interim capacity after Elizabeth Fagen’s departure for a new job in Texas in the summer of 2016.

It was among the first major deci-

sions for the current school board, which had seen a power shift in the November 2017 election. Seven likeminded members now sat on the board after voters said no to candidates who espoused reform policies that stirred controversy in the district for years.

Tucker’s long career in education has included jobs as a classroom teacher and principal. He came to Douglas County from Princeton City Schools in Cincinnati, where he was named National Superintendent of the Year by the American Tucker Association of School Administrators in 2016.

“I’ve enjoyed all my jobs, but being able to work with young people on day-to-day basis and seeing them mature is what really excites me,” Tucker told Colorado Community Media after taking over the post during the summer.

No deal, after all The announcement heralded a major economic boon to the south metro area and beyond.

In August 2017, media and technology company Redbarre publicized plans to build a $1 billion campus in Parker that would create roughly 4,000 jobs. The campus was touted as a place where, among other things, production could take place for film and television.

The announcement was made to much fanfare on the steps of the state Capitol, with Gov. John Hickenlooper and officials from the town and Douglas County in attendance.

A litle more than half a year later, those plans for the Compark area in the northwestern part of Parker were no more.

In April, Redbarre said through a spokesman that it had run into an impasse with the landowner and would look to build its 68-acre campus elsewhere. As of late December, it was not known where the campus would be built.

Fatal flood in Englewood A devastating thunderstorm slammed parts of the metro area the evening of July 24, packing powerful winds, hail and heavy rain that fell so hard and so quickly that flooding hit pockets of Englewood and Littleton.

streets and flooding in one neighborhood hit with fatal force. In the 4600 block of Acoma Street, Rachael Marie Haber, 32, was trapped in a basement apartment and drowned. Residents of several other nearby homes were forced out by the flooding, left to wonder where they would go.

One Acoma Street resident said the storm started out like many that time of year, “like a basic summer storm.”

“But it rolled in so hard, so fast . . . it was flooded in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes,” Isaac Maldonado said.

Democrats rise in Arapahoe Five-term Congressman Mike Coffman was vulnerable this time around, pundits said. But that had been predicted before, and yet the Republican from Aurora always emerged with a November victory.

This time was indeed different. Democrat Jason Crow, also of Coffman Aurora, unseated Coffman in the 6th Congressional District, capitalizing on what some political experts called backlash against President Donald Trump and his policies. Coffman had held the seat in the district known for

its racial and ethnic diversity since 2008. The district includes parts of three counties, but the bulk of it is in Arapahoe County, including Aurora, Centennial and Littleton.

Coffman had publicly put distance between himself and Trump since 2016, but it wasn’t enough as a blue wave hit Arapahoe County — a place that had long been thought of as purple but which often voted red, even as Democrats began to soundly outnumber Republicans in recent years.

In November, Democrats unseated Republican incumbents for sheriff, assessor and county clerk, as well as state House District 37, which largely is made up of Centennial.

“I’d say (the blue wave) hit harder than we expected it to,” said Rich Sokol, chairman of the Arapahoe County Republican Party.

More money for schools Voters approved funding measures for schools in the Douglas County, Littleton and Elizabeth districts in the November election.

• The Douglas County School District saw two measures pass: a $250 million bond and a $40 million mill levy override.

The bond measure will fund urgent building needs, among other things, while the MLO will go toward school programming and pay raises for teachers and staff.

• Voters in the Littleton Public Schools district said yes to a $298 million bond measure that will largely be spent on rebuilding many of the district’s schools.

• A $1.59 million mill levy override gained approval in the Elizabeth School District. A major chunk of that will be used to give raises to teachers in a district that has lagged behind other area districts in teacher pay for years.

Fatal fire in Littleton On a frigid Saturday morning, as Thanksgiving approached, residents of a Littleton apartment building for seniors awoke to a fire that would prove to be a nightmare for weeks.

The Nov. 17 fire at the Windermere apartments on South Datura Street was contained to a first-floor unit, but smoke made its way throughout the five-floor building and asbestos was stirred up, officials said. The resident of the apartment in which the fire started, Michael Craig Mitchell, 70, died. More than a dozen other people were injured. The fire was ruled accidental, but the specific cause had not been released as of late December.

Some residents spent nights on cots

On Dec. 3, all of the building’s 163 residents learned the building was ruled uninhabitable and they would have to move out, a process that started nearly two weeks later, as Christmas approached. For some, this was the second time in 2 1/2 years they were evicted from the same complex — a fire forced all residents out of its

other tower in 2016.

A cold case A suspect’s arrest in December 2017 inspired hope of justice among friends and family members of Randy Wilson, a Kiowa teacher who was found dead, believed by authorities to have been murdered, in 2010. But a year later, the case turned cold once more.

On Dec. 3, the murder charge against Dan Pesch, 35, was dismissed.

Prosecutors said they no longer believed they could convince a jury that Pesch was guilty.

In 2017, Pesch had told authorities he killed Wilson. He later said he was lying, and police records show that Pesch had falsely confessed to crimes in the past. Meanwhile, evidence failed to make a compelling case against Pesch. Testimony from investigators showed that his confessions didn’t match the crime scene and DNA tests failed to connect him to crucial pieces of evidence.

District Attorney George Brauchler said his office remains steadfast in hopes of convicting a killer in the case.

“Someone out there hasn’t been held accountable,” Brauchler said. “I want to bring justice on behalf of Mr. Wilson and his family, and that hasn’t been done yet.”

Hide in Plain Sight expands its reach Nonprofit aiding at-risk students has become statewide initiative

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County made news recently when word spread it has achieved the lowest rate of child poverty in the nation. That doesn’t mean child poverty is a non-issue at the local level, according to county officials and a local man who in 2015 started a nonprofit to serve Douglas County’s homeless students.

Joe Roos began Hide in Plain Sight, also known as HIPS, with aspirations of eradicating student homelessness, starting in Douglas County.

He wants kids to attend college or trade schools after high school. He doesn’t want students of any age to miss out on field trips, extracurricular activities or be unable to participate in athletics because they can’t afford to.

The nonprofit’s central mission is to help students young and old through scholarships and emergency financial assistance.

Although he’s still serving Douglas County, Roos’ organization has since expanded into a statewide program generating tens of thousands of dollars in higher-education scholarships

and additional programming for atrisk students in grades K-12.

“When we began, at risk to us meant homeless students. That has expanded now to include students who live in poverty, students aging out of the foster care system or students with special needs,” Roos said.

Among students served by HIPS is Michael Rodarte, 20, a psychology student at Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado Springs. Rodarte was thrust into the foster care system at 14 after he reported his mother and stepfather to police for neglecting and abusing his siblings.

In the subsequent years he, his twin sister and his 1-year-old brother bounced from a foster home in Colorado Springs to living with his grandparents in California until he resettled in Colorado, graduating from Mountain Vista High School in 2016.

He receives a scholarship from HIPS in order to attend Pikes Peak Community College. Rodarte said that’s crucial because he doesn’t receive financial support from his family.

He’s also enjoys watching a startup nonprofit grow.

“I feel like I’m witnessing the birth of something,” he said.

Those who qualify for Hide in Plain Sight scholarships may meet a school district’s designation as homeless or federal income standards.

For the 2017-18 school year, 350 students in the Douglas County

School District from pre-kindergarten College, 11 at the Community College through 12th grade were homeless, of Aurora, nine at CU Denver and nearly 130 scholarships overall. according to Colorado Department of HIPS has added additional services Education statistics. as well, like a menNearly, 5,860 stutorship program dents were eligible started in 2018 to for free lunches and provide scholarship 2,286 for reducedrecipients more price lunches.

Former deputy jailed for buying gun for felon Bianca Roberts pleads guilty to ‘straw purchase,’ violating bond terms STAFF REPORT

A former Douglas County sheriff ’s deputy was sentenced to jail for buying a gun for her boyfriend, who was a felon, according to a news release sent by the 18th Judicial District Dec. 26.

Bianca Roberts, 36, was indicted in October 2017 for allegations she bought a 9mm Smith & Wesson pistol for her boyfriend, Joshua Tisch.

Roberts pleaded guilty Dec. 17 to straw purchase of a firearm, a Class 4 felony. Roberts also pleaded guilty to violating terms of her bond during the case after authorities discovered more than 300 phone calls between Roberts and Tisch after the indictment was unsealed when a court had ordered them to have no contact, the release states.

Roberts will serve 60 days in jail and two years of probation.

“No one is above the law. We grant significant discretion to our law en-

forcers. We encourage — mandate — that the public trust them and heed their directives. We must — and we will — continue to hold the exceedingly few bad actors accountable, as we would any other member of our community,” District Attorney George Brauchler said. “Purchasing a firearm for a convicted felon is outrageous.”

Roberts met Tisch when he was an inmate and she was a deputy assigned to the jail, according to the release. Roberts bought Tisch the gun so he could protect himself as he sold marijuana.

Tisch pleaded guilty being a felon in possession of a weapon, a Class 6 felony, and was sentenced to 12 months in the Department of Corrections.

“We expect law enforcement members to uphold the law, not to break it. Roberts threw away her career, repeatedly choosing this felon over her oath to uphold the law,” said Chief Deputy District Attorney Gary Dawson, who prosecuted the case.

“This is truly a case of ‘just deserts.’

Now she is a two-time felon, serving a sentence as a prisoner in the very jail in which she was employed as a deputy.”

National Western brings cultural heritage to Colorado Signature Colorado event continues through more than two weeks of fun

The National Western Stock Show Kickoff Parade brings cattle to the streets of downtown Denver. This year’s parade is at noon Jan. 10.

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Again this year, many Colorado residents are gearing up for their participation in the National Western Stock Show.

The annual event is billed as one of the premier livestock shows, horse shows and rodeos in the nation.

It has been 113 years since the first National Western was held. Angus and breeding cattle begin their scheduled arrivals at the complex Jan. 8.

Activities pick up starting Jan. 10 and the schedule of events wraps up Jan. 27.

During that stretch of time about 750,000 people will arrive for the show.

Many will be taking part in events including rodeo and equestrian judging and shows. There are stock show judging events and auctions for animals While entertainment draws a lot of attention, much of the event’s focus is on livestock. There are judging competitions for horses, cattle, sheep, swine, goats, llamas, bison, yaks, poultry and rabbits. Ten livestock associations hold their national shows at National Western. The Gold Trophy Bison

COURTESY OF NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW

Show is the only event of its type in the world.

There also are a number of livestock sales where millions of dollars change hands as prize animals are sold to new owners.

The first wave of the thousands of animals will begin arriving at the National Western Stock Show complex as the New Year is ushered in because stabling the animals require coordination. Hundreds of animals come to the show and stable space is limited.

The outdoor cattle pens can be a temporary home for animals being shown or put up for auction or judged during the show. When it is time for them to be shown, auctioned or judged, the cattle are brought inside, filling the barns.

For example, the usual sequence of events preparing cattle for a show or auction begins in the barns, where each animal is washed and blow dried.

Handlers usually then use clippers to smooth the coat before brushing and grooming each animal to look its best.

Once that breed’s shows are complete, the animals are either auctioned off or quickly loaded up to be taken home. Once the animals are all moved out of the barns, crews move in and clean the stalls to make them ready for the next occupants.

The National Western Stock Show is Colorado’s largest trade show. The hall of education is filled with vendors offering items ranging from custom embroidered jackets to farm machinery.

According to estimates the economic impact is about $115 million and the

event generates about $6 million in local and state taxes.

The show events are spread among a number of facilities. Stock show activities are centered at the National Western Stock Show Arena and Hall of Education near 46th Avenue and Humbolt Street, the Events Center at 1515 E. 47th Ave. and the nearby Denver Coliseum. For information, tickets, the event schedule and event locations, call 303-297-1166 or go online to nationalwestern.com.

The Denver Coliseum is home to the National Western Stock Show Rodeo, the first event on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association schedule, and show information states it is the richest regular season professional rodeos. Each rodeo performance features competition in bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping and barrel racing, plus there are specialty acts booked to perform during breaks in the rodeo.

The rodeo events are in the Coliseum while, at the other end of the National Western complex, the Events Center will be equally busy as the site of horse competitions for a number of breeds and styles.

There will be shows and competitions as well as activities that include the Grand Prix jumping event, an evening of dancing horses and a daily schedule of riding and performance competitions.

South Denver Cardiology are industry leaders in PFO diagnosis and treatment SPONSORED CONTENT

South Denver Cardiology, in Littleton, is a leader in treating and monitoring patients who have problems related to Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) because they are constantly involved in research, trial studies and work to provide patients with the latest treatment options.

More than a quarter of the U.S. population has a hole in the heart.

For most, a hole causes no adverse health effects. In fact, the vast majority of those with a PFO will never even Dr. Lee MacDonald know its there.

There are two kinds of holes in the heart. One is an atrial septal defect (ASD), and the other is a PFO. Both are technically holes in the wall of tissue between the left and right upper chambers of the heart.

An ASD is a failure of the septal tissue to form between the atria. An ASD is something a person is born with. An ASD is larger than a PFO and presents with more symptoms.

A PFO occurs after birth when the foramen ovale fails to close. PFO expert, Dr. Lee MacDonald of the South Denver Cardiology Associates, described a

PFO as a paper-thin flap in the heart.

MacDonald said they often suspect a PFO when a younger patient has a stroke.

“You get a 30 to 40-year-old having a stroke and that raises a lot of warning signs,” MacDonald said. “A PFO is essentially a flap in the heart that at times is closed and at other times is open.

With some bad luck, the flap can be open when a clot moves through.”

Symptoms or health concerns come up when the blood leaking between the right atrium to the left contains a blood clot. For someone without a PFO, the lungs can withstand a clot and the body can deal with it. However, when a small clot is passed through a PFO, going through the side of the heart that pumps blood into the body, it can

travel to the brain, impacting speech, causing blindness and stroke-like symptoms.

At one time, MacDonald said the only way to treat a PFO was through open-heart surgery. This required opening the patient up, long recovery time and a lot more risk.

However, through research and participating in the latest treatment options, South Denver Cardiology has a team of experts that have been providing a catheter-based procedure for more than a decade.

The catheter-based procedure allows the cardiologist to slowly move a long, thin, flexible hollow tube from a small incision in the inner thigh, advancing it slowly up to the heart.

“At the end of this procedure pa-

tients literally just need a band-aid,” MacDonald said. “We have seen close to a 99 percent success rate with this procedure, and we significantly improve a patient’s chances of not having anymore strokes or issues related to the PFO.” While the catheter-based procedure has proven successful, MacDonald said it is only approved for younger patients in the U.S. who have suffered from a stroke and a PFO is the suspected culprit.

“Not every stroke case is caused by a PFO, but we are finding more and more that it is the case in a large percentage of young patients,” MacDonald said.

“At South Denver Cardiology we are leaders in treating PFOs because we pride ourselves on being a part of the research, and staying up on anything that helps our patients get the best and most personalized treatment options.”

Veterans Affairs town hall coming to Castle Rock Attendees can ask about benefits, including health care, in-home services

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County veterans can get their Veterans Affairs questions answered at a town hall coming to Castle Rock this month.

The Veteran Benefits Town Hall Meeting, hosted by the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System, will run from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 17 at the Castle Rock library, 100 S. Wilcox Street.

Veterans, their dependents and family members are encouraged to attend. The event is an open forum and free.

Director of the Douglas County Veterans Affairs Office David Maxwell said many veterans do not know they are eligible for services through Veterans Affairs or that certain benefits are offered by the VA, such as health care and inhome care.

“They can come with their ques-

tions and concerns that they may have about the VA,” Maxwell said, “and hopefully they can walk away with their questions answered.”

Anyone needing more information can call the Douglas County Office of Veterans Affairs at 303663-6200.

“One of the greatest services one can choose to make in their lifetime is that of serving their country,” said Chair of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners Lora Thomas.

“We want the nearly 20,000 veterans living in Douglas County to know about the many benefits offered by the Office of Veterans Affairs and how to determine eligibility.”

The county is also hiring a parttime Veterans Service Officer. The officer would serve a two-year term and perform a number of tasks, such as working with clients, assisting clients enroll in VA benefits and administrative services.

Applicants must be a Colorado resident who have been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed services. Anyone interested must apply by Jan. 25. Information is available on the Douglas County Veterans Service Office webpage, www.douglas.co.us/community/ veterans.

VOICES There’s more to Elvis than the same old song and dance

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

E

lvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, a Tuesday, the day I received a call that changed my life. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this.

I was living in Mesa, Arizona, and I was looking for a teaching job after my adjunct position ended at Arizona State.

I was called by a department chair and offered a full-time position at what was then a college in downtown Denver. I accepted over the phone, and then turned on the television.

Presley died at his home in Memphis, Tennessee. He was only 42.

I didn’t know what to think. As a musician, Presley was AWOL during my formative years of music awareness, the ones after he returned from military duty, and I mostly dismissed him.

By the 1970s he had become a caricature.

Impersonators now generally appear as the older, flamboyant Presley, the one I strongly dislike.

He was taking a lot of prescription drugs, he had gained a lot of

weight, and he was wearing capes and rhinestones.

He was forgetting lyrics on stage.

I am not sure where or when I heard about the recordings he made at Sun with Sam Phillips in Memphis, but they turned around my opinion. They continue to be the only ones I listen to.

There’s a new two-part Presley documentary that I initially watched with reluctance. However, it’s very well made and honest, and doesn’t swoon over Presley’s life.

Several voice-overs are provid-

ed by music producers and critics, and performers, like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Robbie Robertson and Emmylou Harris.

The comments by the performers are especially meaningful, because they are very insightful about, among other things, the control manager Colonel Tom Parker had over Presley.

I never knew that Presley deplored the movies he made as much as I did.

Lone Tree through the heavy traffic that frequents the city from motorists passing through or commuting to work. Boxed in by traffic from C-470 to the north and west and I-25 to the east, Lone Tree sees thousands of commuters pass through every day, creating a routine traffic jam.

Holwell said the On Demand may not fix that problem, but it will allow residents another option of public transportation if they choose not to battle the traffic in their cars, or for seniors or teenagers unable to drive.

Residents can request a ride through an app on their phone. The service will be free to use to residents.

Before he left for duty, Presley made a couple of decent films, but when he returned he was given mediocre scripts, mediocre budgets, and mediocre songs to sing.

The actors and actresses he worked with were rarely notable, except for Ann- Margret, and when the Colonel saw all of the attention she received after “Viva Las Vegas” was released, he made sure Presley didn’t work with her again.

I also didn’t know that Parker refused to permit Presley to perform outside of the United States, and he never did. Why? Because Parker was not a U.S. citizen, and thought he might not be allowed to re-enter.

Parker managed the career of one of music history’s most important individuals, and treated him like a brand.

NORTON FROM PAGE 8

Are there people who can help us?

Absolutely. Is there a timeline we should be setting? Of course. Are there specifics we need to describe when it comes to our goals and dreams? Without question. Should we have milestones along the way where we can measure our success?

Definitely. Do we have the latitude to pivot and adjust based on what is happening during our relentless pursuit of our goals and dreams?

Yes, flexibility is necessary just as long as we don’t compromise the overall result we desire. Is there anyone else who can own our personal goals and dreams? No, absolutely

izing a contract with a company to facilitate the program. Uber had been the city’s partner throughout the pilot phase and paid for virtually the entire program. The fully implemented Link On Demand system will be paid for by the city, about $250,000 a year.

The On Demand program has already been touted across the country for its innovative mix of public transportation and e-hailing services. In October, Denver launched its own pilot program for an on-demand shuttle service around the Cherry Creek, Capitol Hill and Civic Center neighborhoods. Cities like Seattle and Sacramento, California, also launched pilot on-demand shuttle services in 2018.

The Lone Tree Link Circulator shuttle system began as a simple service for workers and residents in south Lone Tree to and from As Petty says near the end of Part II, Presley had become “Elvis”; he was no longer Elvis Presley.

Presley’s breakthrough years happened before I owned a radio, and by the time I caught up with him he was singing songs that didn’t do anything for me.

Springsteen said he couldn’t wait for Presley’s televised comeback special on June 27, 1968. Presley looked and sounded great, and he reestablished himself as a significant performer again overnight.

But then, he began years of servitude in Las Vegas, and in less than 10 years he was dead.

It’s unimaginable what a life like Presley’s would be like. What it would do to an artist’s soul, and Presley had one.

RTD light rail’s Lincoln Station to the RidgeGate neighborhood. It launched shortly after the city’s — and Douglas County’s — largest private employer opened its doors in RidgeGate, Charles Schwab.

The Link Circulator served as a bridge service to the additional light rail stops and the new On Demand shuttle service. Now, the Link Circulator is in its last month of service.

On Feb. 4, the Link On Demand system, will be fully implemented.

Come spring, the final three light rail stations will reach to RidgeGate as well.

According to a release from the city, following the conclusion of the Link On Demand pilot program that ended Dec. 28, the city will make improvements to the program through data and feedback collected during the pilot phase.

The most significant change will

come with the utilization of two shuttles instead of one. The new vendor for the program, which remained nameless at the time of publication due to in-progress contract negotiations, will better calibrate the ride-sharing aspect to make the new On Demand system more efficient, Holwell said. Waiting time between bus arrivals was the most common complaint residents had regarding the program.

In a report released in October, the Link On Demand provided 13,000 rides since August, 2017. Holwell said the program provided about 40 to 50 rides per day.

“We’ve been very pleased with what we learned in our pilot program and are excited that we can move it now into full implement and provide in a better, more customerfriendly way to the Lone Tree community,” Holwell said.

New Year’s resolutions

SOLUTIONS Experts suggest ways to stick with plan instead of going off rails

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

eant to be proactive, healthy and good for one’s well-being, New Year’s resolutions can be daunting, challenging, and most of the time don’t last long. According to Business Insider, 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions fail by February.

In 2019, 41 percent of Coloradans want to save money and 27 percent want to travel. The two New Year’s resolutions topped the list in a survey conducted by Offers.com,

TOP NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS IN COLORADO Offers.com, an online marketplace that offers coupons and specials for about 16,000 retailers and brands, tracks New Year’s resolutions trends across the country and by state.

Here’s a look at how Colorado are expressing their resolve for 2019 based on survey results.

an online marketplace that studies business trends. Next down the list were exercising more, getting a new job or hobby and finding love.

Reasons for giving up on these goals vary from feeling overwhelmed to absence of a plan to lack of support. But with the right mindset and a few tips from health and wellness experts, goals for the New Year can be achieved.

Give it time In an era of nonstop social media and virtual connectedness, instant gratification is oftentimes expected.

• 41 percent of people said their No.1 resolution is to save money.

• 27 percent of people said travel.

• 27 percent of people said exercise more or lose weight.

• 17 percent said get a new job or hobby.

• 12 percent said find love.

That can be a roadblock when completing a New Year’s resolution, said Dru Connolly, who runs the fitness department at the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

“It’s not something that’s going to happen quickly,” Connolly said.

“It takes a while to make it part of your lifestyle.”

She sees a surge in people exercising at HRCA’s four recreation centers in the first few weeks of the new year. Then the numbers tend to trickle off.

SEE RESOLUTIONS, P14

TIPS TO MAKE YOUR RESOLUTIONS STICK Set small, achievable goals throughout the year, instead of one overwhelming goal on Jan. 1.

Make resolutions that you think you can keep. If you want to exercise more, schedule three or four days a week at the gym instead

of seven. If you want to eat healthier, try to substitute dessert with something else you enjoy, like fruit.

Work toward changing one thing at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Consider joining a support group, such as a workout

class at a gym.

Remember that minor mistakes are completely normal. Don’t give up — recover from your mistakes and get back on track.

If you feel overwhelmed or unable to meet your goals on your own, consider

seeking professional help.

Psychologists can offer strategies, help change unhealthy behaviors and address emotional issues.

new year means exciting new opportunities, and Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse is embracing new possibilities with its 2019 season.

“I am always looking for great plays that are COMING helmed by great directors.

I believe ATTRACTIONS that has been our formula for success at Miners Alley,” said artistic director Len Matheo.

The season begins at Miners, 1224 Washington Ave., with a pair of Clarke Reader Pulitzer winners: “Lost in Yonkers,” written by the legendary Neil Simon, and Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” Tony award-winner and modern musical classic “Once” will be coming to the stage in the fall.

Miners Alley will also be tackling contemporary society in a pair of premieres.

The latest from Josh Hartwell, a favorite figure in the metro area’s theatrical scene, is making its world premiere at Miners. “Queen of Conspiracy” tells the story of Mae Brussell, a conspiracy theorist and radio host during the 1960s and 1970s. The play examines the influence of conspiracy-theory culture on modern America.

Eric Coble’s “Fairfield” will make its regional premiere at the theater, and centers on Fairfield Elementary, a public school located in a diverse, liberal district. But when a young teacher’s misguided attempts at celebrating Black History Month take a hilariously dark turn, chaos erupts.

And as is tradition, the season closes with Miners Alley’s hilarious adaptation of “A Christmas Carol.”

“The 2018 season was our most celebrated season and we won more awards this past year than ever before,” Matheo said. “We expect 2019 to do just as well, if not better.

We are on a roll, and it’s only going to get more exciting.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Otis Taylor at Dazzle Sometimes people forget how integral the blues are to nearly every American genre of music. Jazz, pop, rock, soul and hip-hop can all be traced back to this crucial form.

Musicians today are still pulling from the blues, but few are keeping its spirit alive like Colorado-raised Otis Taylor.

Seedling trees available for spring planting STAFF REPORT

The Douglas County Conservation District, in cooperation with the Colorado State Forest Service Nursery, has seedling trees available for sale to residents at a minimal cost.

There is no minimum amount of property required to purchase these trees and shrubs.

A wide variety of species are available in various sizes, including bare root trees and shrubs, large tubed

deciduous and evergreen trees, and individual potted evergreens and deciduous trees and shrubs. Perennial flowering plants also are available.

The trees and shrubs are to be planted for conservation uses such as windbreaks, shelterbelts, living snow fences, erosion control, wildlife habitat and reforestation. The trees may not be used for ornamental purposes or re-sold.

Interested landowners can learn about the proper tree and shrub selec-

tion for their property at a seedling tree workshop Jan. 23 in Franktown.

Tree selection depends on what landowners would like to plant the trees for — windbreak, shelterbelts, living snow fences, erosion control, wildlife habitat and reforestation.

At the workshop, landowners also can create their own windbreak design and learning how to plant and care for their trees.

The workshop runs from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Franktown Firehouse, 1958

N. Highway 83, Franktown.

Seedling tree order forms are available at dcconservation.com. Species are available on a first-come, firstserved basis.

RESOLUTIONS FROM PAGE 10

It takes 21 days to form a habit, Connolly said. To fully adopt a lifestyle change takes about 60 days. Connolly encourages residents to stick with their exercise goals, even if it means starting with two to three workouts a week or a quick workout at home.

The American Psychological Association has similar advice. Start small, the association says. If the goal is to exercise more, schedule three or four days a week at the gym instead of seven. If the goal is to eat healthier, replace dessert with something enjoyable like fruit, instead of attempting a restrictive diet.

Plan accordingly Making a change isn’t easy. Mental Health America reports that 60 percent of people who achieve their New Year’s resolutions mess up at least once before succeeding.

Heather Aardema, a national board certified health and wellness coach from Wheat Ridge, sees it in her practice. Recently, she had a client express concerns about losing weight with the upcoming holidays.

Aardema has a list of tips to make New Year’s resolutions — or goals in general — less intimidating.

“New Year’s resolutions can be tremendously powerful and life-changing,” she said, “if they are done right.”

First, prepare for a goal by forming a strategic plan. Suddenly starting a starvation diet becomes hard really fast, Aardema said.

January 3, 2019J

‘Embrace your strengths when you’re taking on New Year’s resolutions.

After six months it gets easier, becomes more robotic — you no longer have to think about it.’

Heather Aardema, health and wellness coach She recommends taking a character strength survey at www.viacharacter. org. From there, an individual can develop a plan based on his or her strong qualities.

Aardema’s strengths, for example, are zest, self-regulation and love.

“I use those character strengths to overcome my challenges and hurdles,” she said. “Embrace your strengths

when you’re taking on New Year’s resolutions. After six months it gets easier, becomes more robotic — you no longer have to think about it.”

Share with others Sharing New Year’s resolutions with a spouse, family member or friend holds a person accountable, Aardema said.

“If you don’t tell people about your goals,” she said, “it makes it a lot easier to quit.”

Being open with others about goals and life changes builds confidence, commitment and will power, health and wellness organizations say. The American Psychological Association recommends joining a support group when striving for a major life change, such as quitting smoking or upping an exercise routine.

“Having someone to share your struggles and successes with makes your journey to a healthier lifestyle that much easier and less intimidating,” the association says.

And if support from a social circle isn’t doing the trick, a therapist or psychologist is another great option.

Sometimes, a lifestyle change requires the help of a professional who is trained in areas of behavior or mental health, the American Psychological Association says.

Health and wellness experts agree on one thing: quitting on a New Year’s resolution isn’t the answer. Though it may not be as simple as imagined, it’s possible to make a goal for 2019 last longer than one month.

“Make it an endurance event,” Aardema said. “Believe that you’re worthy of getting there.”

Time away from business is a As the doldrums of winter settle in to Colorado, I tend to start dreaming of far off sandy beaches and new exploration. I know I’m not the only one. Travel is a #1 goal Nelisha among my clients Firestone and for good reason: It’s healthy to unplug, relax, and recover. This is essential for business owners, and yet, few of us make the time to do it. Why is that?

“Someone just quit”, “it’s my busy season”, “I just lost my biggest client”, “business is down”… sound familiar? These problems haunt business owners, keeping many tied to their desk and even more to their phones. According to Glassdoor, the majority of workers use only 54% of their vacation time, and more than 66% work and check in with the office while on vacation. I bet numbers for entrepreneurs are even worse. Time

away from the business tends to be a wise investment on many fronts.

Consider this:

1

Travel makes you a better problem solver - Absent of constant stimuli, the brain tends to work on existing problems. Getting away will help you clear your mind which leads to better conflict resolution skills.

2

Travel encourages perspective – To own a business and create value for others is a great asset to be thankful for. In the daily grind of owning a business it’s easy to lose sight on why you did this to begin with. Stepping out of it allows you to see the broader picture of your life, where you are and where you want to go.

3

Travel lets your team work without you – When the boss is away, the staff will play… or they’ll work more efficiently without you dumping more on their desk.

Not only does time away give

Securities offered through LPL Financial, Member FINRA/SIPC

good investment

them a chance to get caught up, but it allows you to see how well your business runs without you, a key element of a good business valuation when it comes time to sell.

4

Travel encourages creativity - Creativity is hard to manufacture on demand.

It needs space and time. It needs new input, inspiration, and fun.

Traveling will allow you that time to step back and see your business in a whole new light.

Travel isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. Whether you work for yourself or someone else, find the time to travel and you’ll be well

rewarded.

Need some inspiration? Join fellow travel lovers Thursday, January 24th for a fun evening! We’ll brainstorm ideas about fun and engaging trips, explore what makes travel meaningful and financial strategies to make it all possible. Shoot an email to Sarah.wells@lpl.com to find out more. Hope to see you there!

Lone Tree Arts Center wins SCFD recognition STAFF REPORT

The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District has recognized the Lone Tree Arts Center for its incorporation of creative programming. The SCFD, funded by sales taxes, recognizes and provides funding for cultural facilities throughout the Denver metro area.

The Lone Tree Arts Center received a 2018 Rex Morgan Award — named for one of the SCFD founders — for the center’s Sensory Friendly Initiative, which provides access to art and

A multi-talented musician skilled at guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica and singing, Taylor has been recognized by Down Beat magazine, the Blues Music Awards and Premier Guitar magazine for his work over the years.

And he’ll be kicking off 2019 by performing at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 5 at Dazzle, 1512 Curtis St. in Denver.

The concert is sure to be a rousing one, and you can purchase tickets at https://dazzledenver.com/events/otistaylor-band/.

See stories inspired by the typewriter There is just something special about typewriters. These machines have retained an air of romance, despite going out of regular use decades ago.

People make documentaries and

culture for people living with intellectual or developmental disabilities, according to a press release from SCFD.org.

Other recipients of 2018 Rex Morgan Awards were Dan Hopkins, spokesperson for former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and the Colorado Department of Transportation, and former Denver Mayor Federico Peña.

In the Sensory-Friendly Initiative, shows at the Lone Tree Arts Center are modified with limits on startling noises or visually over-stimulating components, according to the center’s website, lonetreeartscenter.org. To learn more about the Sensory-Friendly Initiative shows, see lonetreevoice. net/stories/sensory-friendly-openhouse-coming-to-lone-tree,267047. write books about them, and devoted fans still use them whenever they can.

Typewriters also inspire artists, as the latest Stories on Stage collaboration with the Buntport Theater Company exhibits. “A Typewriter Revolution” will be hosted at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12, at the Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center, 721 Santa Fe Drive in Denver.

The show features members of Buntport Theater challenging our digital world with poems and stories written on, for and about the typewriter.

Some of the pieces are written by members of the Denver metro area who entered their work in a selection process, and the results are both funny and thought-provoking.

King Features Weekly Service

© 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

December 24, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s a good time to take a much-needed break from your recent hectic schedule and spend some time in quieter surroundings. Important news could arrive early next week.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Taurean traits of reliability and thoroughness could be well-tested when decision-makers consider your proposals and/or requests. Be prepared to answer some probing questions.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A sudden attack of boredom leaves you with some tasks undone. It’s OK to take a short respite. But get back to work by week’s end so that you have time for other projects.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid prejudging a situation just because it looks bad. Facts could emerge that would make your position uncomfortable, to say the least. A relative has interesting news to share with you.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time to begin reassessing some of your recent decisions about your long-range goals to see if they still have merit. Spend more time with loved ones this weekend.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unsettled situation at home or on the job early in the week could drain your energy levels, making it difficult to get your work done on schedule.

But things improve by midweek.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A temporary setback could give you time to go over your plans to find weaknesses you might have overlooked before. A romantic getaway with that special person is favored this weekend.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Professional and personal situations benefit once you set a positive tone in getting things off to a good start. Honest dialogue smoothes over any occasional display of balkiness.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A problem with workplace colleagues or family members seems to defy even your sage counsel.

But be patient. Your words eventually will lead to a resolution.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Don’t just wait out that unexpected and unexplained delay in your career move. You could gain added respect if you ask why it happened and what you can do to move things along.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Although your workplace strategies usually are accepted, you could be challenged by someone who isn’t so favorably impressed. Be prepared to defend your positions.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your friendship circle expands, with new people coming into your life at this time. Welcome them warmly. But don’t neglect those cherished longtime personal relationships.

BORN THIS WEEK: You love to search for knowledge and share it with others. You would make an especially fine teacher.
