Western end of C-470 expansion to start soon Segment 1 stretches from Wadsworth to South Platte River STAFF REPORT

With the long-planned expansion of C-470 in full swing, construction on the segment between Wadsworth Boulevard and the South Platte River is set to begin this month.

On Colorado Department of Transportation maps of the project, that stretch is listed as “Segment 1,” although work on Segment 3, roughly between Lucent Boulevard and Quebec Street, is already underway.

Work began on the project late

NEXT CLOSURE Work on the C-470 expansion project will close the highway in both directions between University Boulevard and Quebec Street due to bridge construction at Big Dry Creek. The detour will follow County Line Road.

May 10-11, 10 p.m.-5 a.m.

May 11-12, 10:30 p.m.-6 a.m. last year, and work on the Broadway, University Boulevard and Big Dry Creek bridges has ongoing, along with grading work for the lanes that will be added. Paving on the added lanes in that segment is set to begin this month, with ramp construction next month.

Work on Segment 3, from the South Platte to just east of Lucent, is scheduled for later in the summer, along with work on Segments 4 and 5, from just west of Quebec to I-25.

The biggest part of the expansion is the addition of toll lanes, with two of them running westbound from I-25 to Colorado Boulevard and one continuing to Wadsworth, and one eastbound from Wadsworth to I-25. Auxiliary lanes will also be added between several interchanges. In addition, the bridges over the river will be replaced, and other bridges will be widened.

The project is being paid for mostly with loans financed by future toll collections and is set to cost $276 million, not including the debt service on the loans.

‘The small things you do . . . impact the world’ Local Girl Scouts tackle local and international problems for Gold Award

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting — only 5 percent of eligible Girl Scouts obtain the award.

The award, which began in 1916, has been given to nearly 1 million girls, according to the Girl Scout website. The average age of a recipient is 17.

To receive the award, a Girl Scout must recognize a need in a community and design a project that is sustainable even after the project is complete.

This year, 28 Girl Scouts earned the Gold Award in Colorado.

The following is a look at the projects of two local Girl Scouts.

N

Allyson Story and Pillowcase Dresses Allyson Story, a junior at Mountain Vista High School, was introduced to Juarez, Mexico, through missions sponsored by her church, Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch.

Her initial idea was to make 100 pillowcase dresses for young girls. The project grew to more than double that goal.

Sydney Marchando speaks at her 5K race. Marchando organized a 5K fun run for her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Participants entered the race by donating food, clothing or personal care items.

COURTESY PHOTO “Juarez is an impoverished place,” Story said. “I wanted to give (young girls) something new that they could have.”

The dresses were made with just a pillowcase, ribbon and simple sewing instruction. Story taught younger Girl Scout troops, her friends, the students in her sewing class and members of her church how to sew the dresses.

“I liked that even though the dresses were all the same basic shape, you could pick out different fabrics and different ribbon and make them different from each other,” Story said. “We picked out fun patterns.”

Story did not stop there. Having an American Girl doll as a kid, she loved having a toy that matched what she looked like. Story decided to do the

same for the young girls in Juarez and sew a patch of the dress fabric on a teddy bear to hand out with the dress.

“Little girls could have a matching teddy bear,” Story said. “It was something they could hold and use as a sense of security when times get tough.”

Cherry Hills covered expenses for Story and her mother to travel to Juarez, where they spent three days handing out the dresses and matching bears.

“We were on the outskirts of Juarez,” Story said. “A lot of people who think of Juarez think it is really dangerous… But when I got to see all the kids and worked at an orphanage, I could see that what I was doing was making an impact.”

Using her own Spanish and a translator, Story also taught a group of women in Juarez how to make the pillowcase dresses, hoping it would teach a new and useful skill. The women, Story said, were excited to learn and started discussing other ways to use pillowcases.

Dresses were made for girls ages 2 to 12, with a few more complex dresses 13- to 16-year-olds.

“The girls were very grateful of the dresses,” Story said. “You would give it to them and they would hug it.

They loved having something that was theirs.”

Mental health awareness and community response Local officials draft action plans to support needs of area residents

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One in five adults nationwide experiences mental illness, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. One in 25 experiences

serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Those issues and others get a spotlight in May, which is Mental Health Month, but Douglas County government and other area agencies are doing more than proclaiming it one more awareness month.

Tri-County Health Department, which covers Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams counties, is launching a campaign to get people talking about mental health issues and how they can

Campaign’s goal: Let’s erase stigma of illness

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s time to talk about mental health.

That’s according to Tri-County Health Department, which this month launched a campaign across the Denver metro area created by a coalition of public and private organizations designed to help people have open, honest discussions about mental health.

“Let’s Talk Colorado” will mostly operate through online, public health and workplace platforms, said Monica Younger, the behavioral health coordinator at Tri-County, which serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

“The idea started years ago.

Community members identified mental health as being a very serious public health concern and they asked us as public health to work on the issues,” she said. “Anybody can be affected by mental health concerns.”

The campaign includes partners from throughout the TriCounty area but also beyond, including organizations in Jefferson County, Denver, Aurora and Boulder.

People can expect to see campaign materials in the waiting room at their health care provider, or perhaps through information provided by their place of work. There’s also a website, LetsTalkCO.org, with downloadable tools concerning mental health discussions.

“The Let’s Talk key messages are, number one, acknowledging that starting the conversation is difficult,” Younger said.

“It’s a difficult thing to talk about, but having that conversation can save someone’s life.”

They also hope the campaign will fight any stigma around mental health issues by providing statistics showing the commonality of mental health concerns.

“If you know that in a room of eight people, two of them are struggling with mental health issues, that helps defeat stigma,” she said.

Professional, personal connection

For Keith Peterson, director of community benefits at University of Colorado Hospital, collaborating on the campaign wasn’t just professional.

Peterson, of Denver, has a son who struggles with bipolar disorder. Peterson and his wife, Michelle, identified their son’s condition when he was a young adult still living at home.

It all started with a messy room.

Their son, also named Keith, had always been a “difficult personality,” Peterson said, but for years the family didn’t realize a more serious problem was at hand.

If someone were to socialize with his son they would never know something was amiss, Peterson said, rattling off the traits that make his son wonderful. His son is brilliant, he said, passionate and with a strong sense of right and wrong.

But Peterson also describes his son, now 27, as a black-andwhite person who struggles with gray areas. He can lack tolerance and overreact when things don’t go his way.

His brilliance could backfire on him as a high school student. If a teacher taught something contrary to what his son had already researched, that meant a challenge his son couldn’t back down from.

And man, could his room get messy, Peterson said.

His son, then in his early 20s, was living back at home after leaving school and losing his job. They don’t know why he lost his job, Peterson said, but he and his wife offered support and sometimes, the tough love they thought appropriate.

However, Peterson drew the line at his son’s messy room.

He was a dad first, Peterson said, and that room had to be cleaned. He confronted his son, only to hear something that both shocked and confused him.

“It’s not that bad,” Peterson recalled his son saying.

Peterson didn’t understand how he couldn’t see the mess.

At that point, Michelle suggested the issues ran deeper than just the typical problems faced by people in their 20s. At

her encouragement, their son was evaluated.

At nearly 24 years old, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

From then on, Peterson’s perspective on parenting his “difficult” son changed.

The impact of talking Peterson says the stigma surrounding mental health is very real, but not everyone with mental health conditions will handle it the same way.

Besides offering specific tips for having conversations about mental health, the Let’s Talk Colorado website includes a quiz for people to test whether they can spot mental health stigma.

Peterson’s son would likely react to prejudice by brushing it off. It’s not his problem if people can’t accept his condition, Peterson’s son would say.

It’s their problem.

But through his experiences, Peterson is now talking about mental health, and having continued conversations with his son about how he’s doing.

Having someone to listen to is key for those struggling with mental health issue, Peterson said.

“My advice,” Peterson said, “is if you’re really serious about the Let’s Talk campaign, if you’re really serious about removing that stigma, than you’re going to have to be willing to actually hear what comes from it.”

Whether it’s a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder or a new mother with postpartum depression, this campaign is aimed at everyone, Younger said.

Peterson believes it could make a difference.

He is happy to report that treatment combined with more awareness has helped his son, who is now living in New Orleans and working at a job he likes.

A godfather who travels for work will often visit to see how he’s doing. He also snaps a photo of his bedroom for his father.

These days, that room is clean.

get help. The goal is to educate people on the prevalence of mental health issues and erase the stigma associated with them.

Meanwhile, Douglas County is launching a new program to improve how law enforcement and the public health system interact and assists those with mental health needs.

In partnership, the two entities hope to battle stigma surrounding mental illness and encourage those who need resources to seek them out — but also make it easier for them to do so.

Douglas County’s mental health initiatives underway New program seeks to help with collaboration and streamlining of services

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2013, Karl Pierson, 18, fatally shot 17-year-old Claire Davis before killing himself at Arapahoe High School.

Pierson lived in Highlands Ranch.

And in 2014, a 15-year-old boy, also from Highlands Ranch, shot and killed his mother, then turned the gun on himself, dying of a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound.

To Barbara Drake, Douglas County’s deputy county manager, and other Douglas County officials, the tragedies sent up red flags about the increasing prevalence of mental illness and the need to make community resources more available to the public.

So, three years ago, the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative was formed to rally local public health agencies to work more closely with each other. Today, it has 31 members, including the Douglas County School District, the district attorney’s office, Tri-County Health, local law enforcement agencies, area hospital systems and other public health resources.

The initiative’s goal is to find the gaps in services needed by those with mental illness, streamline support by facilitating collaboration among local resources for a growing population and start new programs to fill the holes.

“Douglas County is a big county now,” Drake said.

“We’re not a small rural county anymore.”

The county hopes a more cohesive public health system will mean healthier people, she said: “People that are connected, people that are taking care of their own health needs, people who have optimal mental and physical health.”

Trying to address specific needs The initiative is piloting three main programs to start, although it may expand with time.

One has been in place since the beginning of the 201617 school year.

Project Upstream is a prevention program that offers families ways to get help for kids with mental health concerns, even if they haven’t met thresholds for intervention set by the more formal evaluation systems.

Perhaps a child was expelled at a young age or is frequently disciplined by school administration, Drake said.

If a school has exhausted resources it may recommend the family participate in Project Upstream and, with the family’s permission, refer the child to the program, said Anne Mosbach, the mental health initiative’s coordinator.

A family meeting would be arranged with Project UpSEE HEALTH, P29

Story spent 120 hours completing the project and just $450 since most of her supplies were donated. She overall loved the experience and wants to think of other ways she can use her love for fashion design to help others.

“This impacted me way more than I ever thought,” Story said. “I feel like the small things you can do to help someone out are going to impact the world.”

Sydney Marchando and Miles for Meals Sydney Marchando has known since sixth grade that her Gold Award project would focus on food insecurity.

When she was a student at Acres Green Elementary, she learned about food insecurity through the school’s food bank, Panther’s Pantry, which later turned into Fresh Harvest Food Bank.

COURTESY PHOTO my school were on a free or reduced lunch meal plan,” Marchando said.

“Since fourth grade, I have been around food insecurity and it is some-

thing I became passionate about.”

Marchando organized the Miles for Meals Fun Run last October for her Girl Scout Gold Project. The race

accepted food, clothing and personal care item donations as admission to run the race.

The Fun Run was a 5K at the cross country track at Marchando’s school, Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch.

Marchando spent months advocating for Fresh Harvest, advertising her fun run and collecting donations from local businesses.

“The biggest challenge was having to take on that full leadership role,” Marchando said. “I was the one who came up with the idea and figured out everything that needed to be done.

That was something that I never had to do before.”

Marchando, a graduating senior, collected 1,700 donations from the race. Over 100 people ran the 5K. Marchando did not exceed her budget of $400 and spent 120 hours completing the project.

“I am so grateful for the ability to take on the project,” Marchando said.

“Without the Gold Award system, I don’t think that is something I could have just done on my own.”

Victor Mitchell believes business background sets him apart

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

He describes himself as the outsider candidate with the advantage of being a businessman rather than a career politician.

He says he knows what it’s like to be poor, but today enjoys leading what he calls one of the most successful privately-owned small businesses in Colorado.

Victor Mitchell, an entrepreneur from Castle Rock and a former state legislator, has turned his focus to running for governor of Colorado. And, he says, he’s in the race to win.

Just don’t ask MitchMitchell ell, 51, to campaign on Fridays. That’s when he delivers food to homebound seniors for Meals on Wheels, a commitment he won’t budge on.

“Frankly,” he said of the volunteering, “it just makes me a better person.”

The rest of the week, Mitchell, a Republican, spends 10 hours a day on the campaign trail in his quest to replace Gov. John Hickenlooper, who can’t seek re-election in November 2018 because of term limits.

“Meeting people around the state, listening to what they’d like to see from their next CEO,” Mitchell said.

He also takes that time to share what he calls some bold ideas for Colorado.

Mitchell wants to ease pressure on residents he believes have “poor earning power” thanks to an over-regulated economy.

“I want to do a top-to-bottom review of our whole regulatory scheme and try to open up pathways where young people can go into vocational careers and provide for their families,” he said.

Mitchell recalls half as many businesses being regulated when he was in

office, and he’d like to see the economy trend that way again.

The public and private sector Mitchell took office in the state House in 2007, serving for only one term before choosing not to seek re-election.

Although he referred to it as a great experience, Republicans were the minority and he decided he could accomplish more outside of government, he said.

In 2011, he led a statewide campaign opposing Proposition 103, a ballot measure that would have raised state income and sales taxes for education funding. It was ultimately defeated in a landslide.

But Mitchell has been busy in nongovernmental affairs as well.

Over the past 30 years he’s founded or led six companies, from a transportation company to a telecommunications firm. In 2009, he began his private financing company, Lead Funding, of which he is the chief executive officer.

The company offers private financing for real estate investors.

“I have the perfect blend of public and private sector experience,” he said. “That sets me apart from all my opponents.”

A crowded race Among the more than a dozen declared candidates for governor are well-known names such as longtime Congressman Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, and 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, a Republican from Parker.

Mitchell isn’t intimidated by competing with big names, however. He’s got strong, conservative credentials, he said, and a voting record to prove it.

Last year’s presidential race was the first time he didn’t vote for the Republican candidate at the top of the ticket, he said. When it came to Trump, he “just couldn’t get there the way he spoke about women.”

“I’ve been a conservative Republican my whole life,” he said, “although, I’m fiercely independent as well.”

Aside from being a viable conservative candidate for voters, he said, his SEE MITCHELL, P18

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Denver - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain?

Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake.

Sounds crazy?

Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life.

When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again.

Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state?

Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in

theory exercising should help knee arthritis.

But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee.

It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs.

Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes.

Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out.

You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either.

What’s the answer?

In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary.

With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated.

The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.

But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint.

This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many ex-

help.

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected.

Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

perts believe it helps lubricate the joint.

Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.

And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain specific exercises can be a tremendous

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain.

This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results.

So what is the HUGE mistake?

If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse.

And that’s the last thing you want to do.

What are the two “smart moves?”

If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic.

If you are thinking about giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technol-

ogy such as uoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections.

Research shows that without uoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work.

If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible.

So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse.

And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced uoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 303-952-4469.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain sufferers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go.

If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now.

Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief.

Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program.

The Secret To Success?

The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy.

Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating.

This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment.

And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed.

What Is This Treatment?

This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA).

Those are big medical terms that basically means this...

When you have knee arthritis the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in

your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief

Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”

Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time.

But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and

Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging

Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of Hologic digital imaging to guide the injection.

This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.

the P.A.C.E program.

All you have to do is call 303952-4469 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions answered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain.

But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours.

If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not

take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain?

So call 303-952-4469 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community.

And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 303-952-4469.

If You Can Answer Yes You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other anti-inflammatory medications without success?

Have you already tried viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Supartz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results?

If you answered yes to any of these questions- call Osteo Relief Institute and schedule your risk free knee pain screening 303-952-4469

et’s pile into the car and drive to the mall.

It used to be an event, and sometimes a road trip from Nowhere, Colorado, for a day of shopping at a big city’s retailers or mall.

Now? Stores we grew up with are dropping one after the other. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but we all know the reasons why.

Money reported, “It’s possible more than 8,600 brick-and-mortar stores will close their doors in 2017.”

I haven’t been to a mall store in over 10 years. I can’t remember when.

Grocery stores, box hardware stores, art

supply stores, and that’s about it.

I think if I could get my teeth cleaned on Amazon, I would.

Your correspondent used to work in a department store.

McAlpin’s. Middletown, Ohio.

I was a salesboy, age 18, and I worked in “notions.” It was a catch-all department that included sheets and pillow cases and greeting cards, and lots of women.

Women were the employees and women were the shoppers. I liked it, even though I was looked at skeptically at first.

However, I researched sheets: flat, fitted, and their thread counts. Blankets: wool, cotton, electric, fuzzy throws.

I really knew my blankets, and when the Cincinnati-based chain held a July blanket sale contest, I was ready.

I finished second.

That summer, I attended the Beatles’ concert at Crosley Field, which is long gone.

I paid $9 each for our tickets.

McAlpin’s opened its first store on Fourth Street in downtown Cincinnati in 1880.

If you are from that part of country, you might have heard of McAlpin’s and its competitors, Shillito’s and Pogue’s.

All three have gone bye-bye.

Ultimately, I was not meant for retail.

ith the springtime officially upon us and trees, shrubs, and flowers all taking root, it has inspired me to share with you some thoughts that run through my mind as I watch springtime come into full bloom.

And it’s not just watching the flowers and trees blossom and bloom, it’s also the smell of spring that gets to me too. Now for my fellow allergy sufferers, sometimes it can be a little problematic for us, but for me I still enjoy the scent of spring whether it is the sweet smell of rain or

the beautiful air and landscape filled with flowers.

It is such a stark contrast to, and yet also a welcomed balance to, the increase in tensions driven by crime, the addiction epidemic, wars and politics. Passing by nurseries and homes and communities already abundant with the signs of flowering life, I found myself thinking about a saying I had once read, “Bloom where you are planted.”

The successful growth all depends on

Thanks for kind gesture My Labrador “Bean” is obsessed with tennis balls — I mean obsessed. Walking recently past the tennis courts at Cook Creek with Bean and our other Labrador, “Shimmy,” I was somewhat waylaid by Bean, who saw the tennis balls hurtling about and went into crazed-dog-mode, leaping up and down, whining, bowing and generally making a distraction of himself to the gentleman hitting tennis balls in the courts.

This gentleman, noticing the ruckus, paused his game and while I apologized profusely for the interruption, he then asked my permission to provide my demented dog with the object of his affection. He threw a brand new ball over the fence, caught on the second bounce by Bean.

I haven’t lived very long here in Denver, or the U.S. for that matter, and I have been amazed by the welcome my husband (and our two Labradors) have experienced. We have visited the beautiful mountains and know all our lovely neighbours by their first names, but this simple gesture, by someone I interrupted when he was busy and sacrificed one of his tennis balls to an excessively drooly Labrador has just made my day (and Bean’s). This speaks to me perfectly of the beautiful welcome we have received since moving here in December last year.

Like Bean, I do hope one day it rains tennis balls on this kind, wonderful person who has given me (and Bean) the nicest day and the warmest of welcomes. Your tennis ball will be forever cherished.

Catholic Charities of Central Colorado expands its reach over the years

C

atholic Charities of Central Colorado, first established in 1968, is approaching 50 years of serving people of all walks of life who are in need. In May 2013, Catholic Charities opened an office to aid the growing population of Douglas County, where more than 90 families are helped each month.

Initially, Catholic Charities offered English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and emergency services such as temporary housing assistance through hotel vouchers, utility support, and gift cards for gas and food.

Food boxes were provided through collaboration with the St. Vincent de Paul Society. However, demand quickly rose and Catholic Charities expanded to meet the growing needs.

Today, they continue to offer emergency services, but in a more robust and meaningful way. These pro-

the health of the roots, proper care like water and sunlight, and more than likely a green thumb. I settled in on thinking about the roots — I thought about the fact that we need to be rooted in love as individuals, families, and communities.

If you are a frequent reader of this column you will catch on pretty quickly that you have read the following phrases in previous columns, but reinforcement of positive and affirming thoughts can never hurt.

So imagine if you will that there are four roots. The first root is love and forgiveness. When we are firmly planted and rooted in love and forgiveness we can face most challenges and obstacles that get in our way personally, professionally, spiritually or emotionally. The roots of love and forgiveness provide us with a freedom and strength that cannot be swayed or compromised by anger, grudges or negativity.

The second root is the root of love and kindness. We all know the saying, “What comes around goes around,” or “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Well, if we believe in this phielosophy, we should be pouring out love and kindness on every single person we meet and in every single situation that we encounter. The root of love and kindness flourishes and multiplies faster than any of the other roots. You can easily test this theory yourself by committing to living a life filled with love and kindness for the next 30 days. Watch as the root responds with bringing even more love and kindness into your own world.

The third root is the root of love and happiness. It is so easy to find the bad things in life when we are looking for them. But it is just as easy to find the good if that is what

we are looking for. And when we look for the good through the lens of love and happiness we will find the good people, the good things, the good places and the abundance of goodness that comes with a life filled with love and happiness, and we will find joy.

The fourth root is the root of love and gratitude. The root of love and gratitude cannot be choked or suppressed by envy, jealousy, hatred, spite or just plain meanness. The root of love and gratitude draws its strength from the attitude of appreciation and thanksgiving. We don’t love or want what others have; the root of love and gratitude is based on what we already have and have received. And just as the root of love and kindness grows faster than any of the other roots, the root of love and gratitude is the strongest of all the roots.

Some of you may recall the other sayings where they say something is the root of all evil, such as money is the root of all evil or greed is the root of all evil. And if we are not careful and if we don’t tend to the care of the roots of love and forgiveness, love and kindness, love and happiness, and love and gratitude, something evil could creep in and compromise our growth and weaken that place where we hope to be so firmly rooted, love.

How about you? Are you enjoying the springtime and all that comes with it?

Are your roots firmly planted in love, forgiveness, kindness, happiness and gratitude?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we are taking care of our roots, this really will grow into a better than good week.

cies, including the Community of Care Network. Bullen says, “This allows families time and resources to develop a plan to move forward to establish stability for the long term.

It is wonderful to work with these families and watch them grow as they reach their goals.”

This past winter, Catholic Charities joined forces with several agencies in Douglas County to plan and to establish the Winter Shelter Network. This network made it possible for women and children in Douglas County have a safe place to spend the night from Nov. 1 to March 31. Paul Narduzzo, Catholic Charities’ regional office director, says, “The real heroes are the churches and volunteers who stepped up to provide a safe and comfortable place to stay, hearty meals, and personal connection with the families who

stayed in the shelter. Without them, there would be no network.” Prior to the Winter Shelter Network, Catholic Charities offered emergency motel vouchers to protect families from the elements and still uses these vouchers as a supplement throughout the year.

Other areas of expansion include Family Immigration Services and ESL Services. Family Immigration Services are offered on an appointment basis to help immigrants move forward in the process toward legal residency, and Know Your Rights presentations are conducted to educate them and community members on their legal rights and obligations.

While ESL classes continue to be offered several times a week, the program was expanded to offer literacy SEE AGING, P15

Kombucha taps the Colorado market The fermented tea is becoming a healthy drink alternative

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

fter brewing kombucha in his kitchen for several years, Castle Rock resident Marc Gaudreault decided to turn his product into a commercial business.

One year ago, he founded TruBucha, a kombrewery operating out of a commercial kitchen in Denver. He peddled his product at local farmers markets and his customer base grew each week.

“Most people either love it or hate it,” Gaudreault said of kombucha, a lightly fermented tea full of probiotics. “I always liked the taste of it — the zingyness.”

Gaudreault originally started drinking kombucha as an alternative to soda and said he feels healthier doing so.

Kombucha is packed with B-vitamins, antioxidants, active enzymes, glucaronic acids and amino acids according to Gaudreault, which he says helps the body feel more balanced.

“Our view is that if your body is more balanced, then you will naturally fight off diseases,” Gaudreault said.

The healthy properties of kombucha is what drew Marnie Quinn, owner of Ceremony Center for Healing in Westminster to the drink.

Her center, which opened nine months ago, offers yoga, tai chi and meditation classes along with workshops centered around health, empowerment and spirituality. The center also offers kombucha from Happy Leaf in Edgewater on tap.

“I love that it’s a probiotic and supports gut health,” Quinn said, adding that the gut is the center of health.

Having kombucha available after class also serves the purpose of creating community.

“One thing we’ve done since humans have been around is sharing a drink together and it’s nice to have the option of sharing a drink that also supports your health,” Quinn said.

The taproom Sharing in community is one of the ideas behind the kombucha taproom.

TruBucha plans to open a taproom in Lone Tree this summer.

“Kombucha is a big business and it’s going to be getting bigger,” Gaudreault said. “We just want a place where people can sit down and talk.”

The Lone Tree location is central to where the TruBucha farmer’s market

Marc Gaudreault started TruBucha in his Castle Rock home. The local brew is now on tap in almost 30 coffee shops and breweries throughout Colorado.

TruBucha brews base flavors such as mango, raspberry, ginger, lavender, mint and citra hops, available at various farmers’ markets.

COLORADO KOMBUCHA BREWERS Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha Boulder — The Rowdy Mermaid tasting room is currently closed and awaiting reopening at a new location. Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha is sold at Whole Foods, Natural Grocers and on tap at various breweries and restaurants.

Trubucha Castle Rock — Trubucha is a Castle Rockbased business. TruBucha is currently on tap in 35 breweries, coffee shops and yoga studios around Colorado. They are in the works of opening a taproom at 10047 Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree.

Happy Leaf Kombucha Edgewater — Happy Leaf has a taproom and kitchen at 5700 W. 25th Ave. in Edgewater near Sloan’s Lake. Happy Leaf Kombucha is available in 12 ounce cans, 5.16 gallon kegs, and 15.5 gallon kegs. They currently distribute throughout Colorado with LoCo Foods and Crooked Stave Artisans. It can also be found on tap at more than 100 Denverarea craft breweries, coffee shops and restaurants.

clientele is located.

According to the Kombucha Brewers Association, in 2014 there was $500 million of business in kombucha and it’s estimated that by 2020, that number will grow to $2 billion a year.

“I think there’s another four years of real growth before it levels out,”

Gaudreault said of the kombucha business. “For us, I think it’s a great opportunity and there’s a chance to grow a lot in those four years.”

TruBucha is currently on tap in 35 breweries, coffee shops and yoga studios around Colorado and Gaudreault said they’re adding three to

five new locations a week.

Until its own taproom opens in June, one place TruBucha can be found is at American Cultures in the Denver Highlands.

American Cultures is a kombucha taproom serving a rotation of Colorado-brewed kombucha. What makes American Cultures different is they only serve kombucha, they don’t make their own.

The taproom, which was founded in 2015, gives people the opportunity to taste all of the local kombucha that Colorado has to offer, and take it home in reusable growlers instead of buying it in stores by the single serving.

For a sweet twist, they also serve kombucha floats made with local Sweet Action and Scrumptious ice cream.

But first to get in the kombucha game in the Denver area was Happy Leaf Kombucha, which opened the first Denver kombucha taproom in RiNo in 2013. In 2016, the taproom moved to Edgewater near Sloan’s Lake. Like TruBucha, Happy Leaf ’s humble beginnings started with selling their kombucha at farmer’s markets.

Now, the Happy Leaf brand can be found on tap at more than 100 Denverarea craft breweries, coffee shops and restaurants.

Kombucha and beer One of those breweries is Mountain Toad Brewing in Golden.

Jack Stewart, brewer and server at Mountain Toad, said having kombucha on tap gives customers the option of a fresh effervescent non-alcoholic drink option.

funky, sour and refreshing flavors found in kombucha with their counterpoints in farmhouse style ales.

The brew came up when Capps was looking for a unique way to make a sour beer.

The brewing process, Capps said, is complex. The entire beer is unpasteurized and the kombucha is unpasteurized.

“It’s fully live cultures and it can age with time and become super complex,” Capps said.

Right now, Dyad is one of the most popular beers at New Image, selling out on a regular basis. It was also one of the first beers the microbrewery decided to can, when they started canning their beers eight months ago.

Moving forward, New Image will be releasing new flavors of the Dyad brew including passion fruit orange guava and rum barrel coconut, which should be available in the next couple of months.

business experience gives him the ability to work with diverse minds — and opinions — and focus on problemsolving rather than politics.

Al Roberson, a former employee of Mitchell’s transportation company who now lives in Highlands Ranch, said Mitchell’s business background sets him up to be that problem-solver, which government needs more of, he said.

“That’s why I’m excited to see more of the mindset of people like Victor running for office,” he said. “If we can get him to the finish line, wow, that would be exciting.”

Mitchell believes he’s got a real shot at accomplishing that.

“I’m not concerned about my opponents,” Mitchell said. “None of them will have my set of life experiences.”

Humble beginnings The entrepreneurial bug has been with Mitchell from a young age, partially driven by a need to make ends meet.

At 11 years old, with the family living in New York, Mitchell’s parents broke up. His mother, who is legally blind and deaf, moved to California.

Mitchell moved with his mother to help care for her, leaving behind his father and two sisters. In California, he and his mother nearly experienced homelessness. They moved often.

By 13 years old, he was working to help support them both, and contin-

ued to do so through high school and college.

“It shaped me tremendously,” he said of helping care for his mother.

“It teaches you that you have to have a lot of empathy for people that are marginalized. I was marginalized. My mother was marginalized. And let me tell you, it’s not very fun being poor.”

At 21, he started his first company as a junior in college, a transportation and limousine service company, and his entrepreneurship grew from there. He hasn’t worked for anyone else since.

Looking ahead Mitchell has been out of public office for eight years. But he’s back, and with a gameplan.

In addition to combating regulation, he also foresees a 20-year transportation plan for the state, and a budget review for the Colorado Department of Transportation. He’d transform the Legislative Audit Committee into a performance review committee to look for overspending, he said, and hopefully find serious dollars to shift for transportation funding rather than grow government spending.

Mostly, Mitchell said, he believes he can improve people’s lives as governor.

And don’t bother asking him why he’s not seeking a lower office to fulfill that mission. He’ll respond with a quick chuckle and a simple “no.”

“I’m an executive,” Mitchell said.

“The governorship is the right position for me. And I think it would be the right position for the people of Colorado.”

Quick rise to prowess puts her in rare club

Weather turned wild during the Mountain Vista vs. Highlands Ranch boys lacrosse game April 28 with near-whiteout conditions. Mountain Vista’s Griffin Bonjean, left, moves the ball as Highlands Ranch’s Jacob Boomgarden tries to cut him off. The game was called at halftime with the Golden Eagles up 13-5, and at press time it was still undetermined whether the game would be completed.

Grizzlies use big inning to down Eagles Baseball teams scramble in unpredictable Continental League

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

This season’s Continental League baseball race could be described as topsy-turvy and unpredictable.

After games on April 26, there were three teams tied for first place, one team a half game off the pace and three other teams a

game off the lead. That’s eight of the league’s 11 teams still contending for the title or first division finishes.

ThunderRidge temporarily moved into a first-place tie with a 6-4 victory over Heritage on April 26 at the Eagles’ Randy Campbell Memorial Field.

“It’s a crazy league,” said ThunderRidge coach Joe White. “We played the last year’s state champions from Nevada in our first game of the year down in Phoenix, we played some Phoenix teams and played Broomfield. There is nothing like this league. Every game you have to come play or you will

get beat. It’s great baseball.”

Heritage coach Scott Hormann agreed.

“It’s ridiculous,” he said. “Every single team in this league is good.

Castle View is a really, really good baseball team and they’ve lost six in row. I truly believe our league is the best league in the state. When you don’t make plays, you are going to get beat. The goal has to be to win two out of three games every week.”

All league teams except Mountain Vista and Heritage moved April 28 games up to April 27 to

Ridge: He threw eight pitches to retire three batters with a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh inning to earn the save in the Grizzlies’ 6-4 win over Heritage in an April 27 Continental League game. Haze also hit a solo homer in the game.

Murphy Gienger, baseball, sophomore, Douglas County: He went 4-for-5, scored three runs and had four runs batted in during the Huskies’ 15-5 win over High-

lands Ranch on April 27. Gienger also pitched two scoreless innings.

Joshua Thompson, baseball, junior, Highlands Ranch: Thompson pitched a one-hit, seven-inning shutout in the Falcons’ 2-0 victory over Ponderosa on April 26. He had four strikeouts and induced 15 groundball outs, and the only ball that left the infield was a ground ball double to left field in the second inning.

SEE BASEBALL, P25

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Tabitha Diehl, golf, senior, Mountain Vista: She birdied six of the final seven holes to offset a double bogey and took medalist honors at the Plum Creek Golf Club with a 3-under-par 69 in the April 24 Continental League meet.

Isabel Anema, lacrosse, junior, Cherry Creek: She scored three goals on three shots on goal in the Bruins’ 8-0 victory over Smoky Hill on April 28.

Jake Haze, baseball, junior, Thunder-

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

fter watching Jordan Remley hit a precise approach shot toward the 18th green at Broken Tee Englewood to finish a 3-under-par round of 69, I assumed I was observing a young lady who had been swinging a golf club since shortly after the day she learned to walk.

However, I discovered OVERTIME that Remley is not one of those athletes who specialized in one sport while growing up.

“I’ve been playing sports since I was 4 years old, and one day I was coming out with my dad and I ask, `Can I hit your driver?’ ” the Ralston Valley senior Jim Benton said. “It was a real calm day with no wind and I just piped it down the middle.”

Remley, who has signed a letter of intent to play at the University of Wyoming, has developed into one of the state’s best golfers heading into the May 8 state-qualifying regional tournament.

“I only started playing golf my freshman year, so this is my fourth year of golf,” she said. “I’ve never shot over a 100. I’d say golf came pretty natural.”

Remley has taken a few lessons, including a week of instruction from renowned golf teacher Hank Haney.

Remley has won or tied for medalist honors in every Jefferson County League tournament this spring.

“Considering that she had six months of golf before starting her freshman year at Ralston Valley and now she is leading the state with consistent under-par rounds, I would consider that amazing,” Mustangs coach Wendy Davies said. “She is a great all-around young lady and athlete, she will continue to grow as she goes on to play at Wyoming, and I also hope to see her achieve her dream to be on the LPGA someday.”

Home-field advantage Highlands Ranch soccer coach Spencer Ward is catching flak for scheduling Falcons’ home games on the grass field at Highlands Ranch instead of the turf at Shea Stadium.

“I get a lot of coaches calling me up and saying, `Why can’t we go to Shea?’ ” he said.

“They say, ‘Your field is bad.’ But if it was unplayable, my school would not let us play on it.”

Ward argues that it is hard to get students to drive to Shea to watch games and more do attend games played at the school.

He also said students and spectators get a closer view of the action on the field at Highlands Ranch than at Shea, Echo Park Automotive Stadium or Douglas County Stadium, where most Continental League games are held.

He is raising funds to improve the field at Highlands Ranch and hopes the district might construct a fence around the pitch.

“We’re striving to make it a decent field so these kids can be like, ‘You know what, we have a decent place to play,’ ” Ward said.

McCaffrey joins brother By now, everyone is aware that former Valor Christian and Stanford University standout Christian McCaffrey was selected eighth overall by the Carolina Panthers in the National Football League draft on April 27.

But did you know that he will be joining his older brother Max in the NFL? Max McCaffrey, the 6-foot-2, 200 pounder who played college football at Duke and also was a standout at Valor, was signed as an undrafted free agent

last May by Oakland but was released on Aug. 29. The wide receiver signed with Green Bay on Dec. 20, 2016 and was added to the practice squad.

Christian McCaffrey has two young- F er brothers. Dylan is a senior at Valor.

He was the Colorado Community a Media South Metro Football Player of the Year and will be a quarterback at 3 the University of Michigan in the fall. t Luke McCaffrey, a safety, receiver and quarterback, will be a junior at Valor K next season. Michigan has apparently offered Luke a scholarship, but he has h t not made a college commitment. i Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colo- a rado Community Media.

And Castle View beat ThunderRidge 3-2 as the league standings continued to scramble.

Key players/statistics ThunderRidge’s Bailey Seeger went 3-for-3 with a run batted it, Smith went 2-for-3 with his two RBIs, and Haze was 3-for-4 with his towering homer.

Starting pitcher Tim McIntyre pitched six innings for the Grizzlies and earned the win. He scattered nine hits and got a clutch relief performance by Haze.

Haze came in with nobody out and a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh but only needed eight pitches to get the next three outs to earn the save.

Heritage senior catcher Casey Opitz went 2-for-4 and hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning, which trimmed the ThunderRidge lead to 6-4. Mason Mitchell also had two hits for the Eagles.

They said it “We needed that,” said White of the ThunderRidge five-run third inning.

“To be able to break out in a game like

ThunderRidge starting pitcher Tim McIntyre delivers a pitch during the April 26 Continental League game against Heritage at the Eagles’ field.

JM BENTON that was pretty nice. We have been struggling at the plate all year and to have an inning like that was pretty nice.”

Heritage starter Jacob Hilton, the league’s strikeout leader, gave up eight hits and four earned runs but three Eagles errors didn’t help. Hilton had five strikeouts to raise his total to 59 in 42 innings pitched.

“I feel bad for our pitcher,” said Hormann. “He goes out, pounds the zone, throws strikes and we didn’t make plays for him. The same thing happened at Douglas County (6-5 loss). They put up a five-spot in sixth inning. Our league is too good. We cannot do that. We played a good ball game other than one inning.”

Going forward Depending on the weather, the regular season was scheduled to end May 3 with eight, four-team regional playoff tournaments set for May 13.

League champions automatically advance to the regionals with the remaining 24 teams qualifying by RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) points.

The RPI standings change after each game, so following the April 27 action, Mountain Vista was third, Rock Canyon fourth, Legend seventh, league-leading Douglas County 10th, Heritage 12th, ThunderRidge 16th, Highlands Ranch 18th and Castle View 32nd.

Key moments ThunderRidge, sparked by a long home run by Jake Haze and a two-run triple by Will Smith, scored five runs in the third inning to take a 6-2 lead and held on for the win.

“Jake Haze started the inning off with a leadoff home run,” said Smith.

“He hit the house across the street. It went pretty far, 60 feet in the air for 300 feet.

“Then we got a couple guys on base after that and I got a 3-1 curve ball and I hit it to right center and scored two on that one. Then Tyson Cruickshank got a nice RBI to score me on the next at-bat. It was really important for us and ended up getting us a big inning.”

stream at the school, where a representative with the program would discuss the family’s strengths and weaknesses and recommend concrete next steps. Those might be something as simple as establishing new boundaries within the home, such as no technology after 7 p.m., or in a more serious approach, a psychological evaluation of the child.

“Typically, we’ll meet up about 60 days later to check in on progress,” Mosbach said.

A key component of the

intiative was the hiring of Mosbach in October. Because the initiative isn’t meant to be a heath care provider but rather a means to helping local resources work together, her job is to oversee that process.

Goal is to stabilize on site Mosbach also will help oversee a pilot program debuting this month, which will send a team of crisis-response professionals to incidents involving indiviudals considered high risk for mental illness based on the frequency of 911 calls they make, or who have previously attempted suicide.

For example, Drake said, the initiative looked at seven

individuals in Castle Rock who generated more than 100 combined 911 calls in 18 months.

“One person generated 36 calls,” she said. To health care professionals, that can signal the person isn’t getting the outcome he or she needs by using the emergency system.

The program is modeled after a community and public health program in Colorado Springs called CARES. The crisis response team will comprise a law enforcement officer, a paramedic and a mental health professional.

The paramedic and law enforcement officer will be trained in crisis intervention specifically; the mental health

professional will be a licensed clinician.

Initially, the team will work together in one 10-hour shift four days a week.

The goal of the crisis team is to keep people out of jail and out of the emergency room if what they really need is treatment for mental health issues, Drake said. The bestcase scenario is that they can be stabilized on-scene without being detained elsewhere.

In the third component to the initiative, Douglas County hired a mental health navigator, James Baroffio, who will work with clients experiencing mental illness or severe substance abuse to help them connect with the proper re-

Drake acknowledged the initiative might experience growing pains, but the goal is to stop people from falling through the cracks. And she thinks the county is well on its way to accomplishing that objective.

“There’s just been an improvement in collaboration,” Drake said of local agencies, “and thinking about each other when there’s a problem that we’re trying to solve.”
