Woman searches for justice after her mother was killed in Lakewood hit and run

JO DAVISJ DAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Angela Selvage was walking in Lakewood the night of May 28 when she was hit by a vehicle and left for dead.

“A second car came through and hit her,” said Angela’s daughter, Samantha Selvage. “ ey stopped and called for help. My mom died at the hospital not long after that.”

According to the Lakewood Police notice about the event, Angela was walking down West 6th Street Frontage Road and was hit near Jay Street. Police are still looking for information about the incident, and so is Samantha.

Samantha, a resident of Arizona, has made Lakewood her temporary home as she works to nd out who hit her mother.

“It’s falling on my shoulders to try to bring my mom justice and my family closure. And it’s ne. I accept that responsibility. But it’s really hard,” she said.

She is struggling to pay out of pocket for her stay and for laying her mother to rest. Samantha’s family is helping, however, the costs are rising. ey started a crowdfund to help with the costs. You can nd more information on the crowdfund at https://gofund.me/fd60c7a9.

Samantha wants people to know that her mother was a good person who made an impression everywhere she went. As she canvasses

Drew Hill Culvert project is completed

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Je erson County Transportation and Engineering Department recently announced that the Drew Hill Road Culvert project has been completed. Drew Hill Road is described as an access point to parks and open spaces in Je erson County. Destinations include Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

e project was completed with special government funding and actually came in under budget.

e budgeted $437, 434 project is one of many funded by a $113 million dollar ARPA, or American Rescue Plan Act, grant to Je erson County. e Drew Hill Culvert was one of the more dire projects, according to Je erson County Public A airs.

e issue was described as a deteriorated corrugated pipe that would have failed if left uncorrected. A sinkhole had already begun to form, forcing the county to close half the road. Crews installed steel plates as a temporary safety measure.

“ e swift work of our Je co Team and lead contractor literally saved this road and bridge’s collapse into a creek, and potentially saved severe structural damage and possible harm to residents and visitors who use this area every day,” said Je erson County Development and Transportation Director Abel Montoya.

the neighborhood near 6th and Jay, Samantha has met people who remember her mother.

“I’ve come into town, I’ve only been here a week. ere are so many people who say ‘Oh, I knew your mom. I think I knew your mom. I’m so sorry.’ So many people knew her and knew that she was such a positive, uplifting person and so into, her faith,” Samantha said. “She just a ected everyone in a positive way.”

Angela was unhoused and going through a di cult time in her life, but she was still a good person and a good mom, Samantha said.

“She was still a mom of ve children. She was a loving person. She was a person, a human being, and she did not deserve this,” Samantha said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re homeless. e point is, is that somebody took a human being’s life in a disgusting manner, and then left her there to die. To get run over again. Nobody deserves that. And that shouldn’t happen to anybody.”

So far, Samantha has a time window to go on and not much else.

“We’re looking for a timespan that night, May 28. It was the night before Memorial Day Monday,” she said.

For anyone who may still have a Ring camera or other footage, Samantha would like them to check

between 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

She and her father are still in Lakewood and will be knocking on doors asking anyone for any information, including camera footage.

“We’re still going to be canvassing the area,” Samantha said. “We’re looking for any footage that we can nd of a vehicle either coming into

the area or going onto 6th Avenue around the time Angela was hit, and then exiting. We believe that the person who did it did enter and exit through the neighborhood. So, we’ll see. But that’s what we’re looking for right now. Mainly is footage, camera footage.”

She clari ed that she is looking for, “just any vehicle that goes, including bikes. e police haven’t pinpointed the exact vehicle yet. But we’re just trying to put together the pieces and see what we can nd.”

She will be in that area near 6th and Jay. If you don’t see her, expect to see the signs she and the family made, scattered throughout the area. e family made 30 signs using their own materials, including the trafc cones, which Samantha brought

with her from her construction job in Arizona.

Samantha doesn’t plan to go home until the person who hit her mother is found.

“I feel like I can’t leave the state of Colorado and go back to my life without doing this without bringing that closure to my family and getting my mom justice,” she said.

She urges anyone with any information to contact the Lakewood Police.

Metro Denver Crimestoppers is o ering a $2,000 reward for information. You can ll out an online form at https://www.p3tips.com/tipform. aspx?ID=249 or call 720-913-7867. You can remain anonymous. Please refer to Lakewood PD case LK23015406.

e project took two months and ultimately cost $401, 625. Where did the $35,799 savings come from?

According to Evan Brown, Civil Engineer Supervisor for Je co Transportation and Engineering, the savings came from having “minimal change orders or bid overruns during construction.”

He added that the roadway resurfacing portion of the project was completed “inhouse” by Je co Road and Bridge.

“Road and Bridge sta wanted to resurface other damaged portions of Drew Hill Road nearby to the project site. is results in cost savings since Road and Bridge had material on hand and could complete the resurfacing for a cheaper unit price than the contractor.”

According to Je co Public

A airs, the repairs include:

• replacing the existing metal pipe with a reinforced concrete box culvert;

• adding Redi-Rock wing walls that increase the safety of the road’s shoulders; and

• installing riprap (loose stone foundation) areas on the upstream and downstream sides for erosion protection.

At Golden Real Estate, Our Brokers Focus on What Is Important to Homebuyers

We are a listing brokerage, but, like any successful brokerage, we also represent buyers. While we have particular competence in the listing and marketing of homes for sale, we are also successful in helping buyers find and get under contract for homes, then shepherd those buyers through to closing and move-in, all the while bringing our years of experience and acquired competence to each stage of the process.

First of all, buyers’ agents need to be good listeners — find out what’s important to the buyer. That can and will vary from buyer to buyer. What follows is some of what I’ve found is typically important beyond those very personal needs and wants.

Buyers want to know what the market is and what their money can buy. The best way to learn that, I’ve found, is to set up an MLS email alert early on, matching their search criteria.

While buyers can do their own searching on consumer-facing websites, not all MLS fields are searchable unless you’re a member of that MLS. A good example of that is searching for a main-floor primary suite. That is not a searchable field on any consumer website that I’m aware of. On Zillow you can search for single-story homes, but many 2-story homes also have main-floor bedrooms.

Think of other features important to you. Almost every MLS field can be a search criterion, but only for an MLS member agent, who can include them in an MLS alert that he or she sets up for you.

Do you want a fenced yard? RV parking? Mountain and/or city views? Solar panels? A particular elementary school?

You can receive an alert about homes matching your search criteria within 15 minutes of them going on the market. Daily or monthly emails are also an option.

Just Listed: Condo in

Such MLS alerts can give the buyer a sense of the market, whether or not he/she is ready to start looking at homes and/or make an offer on one they like.

Financing is critical, of course, and a buyer’s agent needs to know the financial capabilities and limitations of his buyer and have an excellent loan officer who can let the buyer and his/her agent know the price range for which the buyer is qualified. Some loan officers, such as ours, are more creative than others at solving qualification problems.

Knowing whether a particular home is priced correctly and what a proper offering price would be is important to the buyer. When you find a home you want to buy, we have three valuation tools, not just Zillow, that can provide guidance on what a proper offer should be. What did comparable homes sell for, how long were they on the market, and did they sell above or below the listing price? That’s easy for us to research and show you.

If you have lost bidding wars and don’t want that to be in another one, you can ask your agent to include in your MLS alert only listings that have been on the market over a week. That increases your chance of being the only buyer to submit an offer.

Homes in newer subdivisions may have significantly higher property taxes because they are in a metropolitan tax district. Although the MLS includes what the property tax is for each house, it doesn’t include the all-important mill levy. The tax rate for a home in a metro tax district can be up to double that of a home outside that tax district, and we can make sure you know that.

Some buyers, especially those with RVs, want to avoid listings that are in an HOA. That’s another search criterion that can be specified in email alerts, as is the presence of on-site RV parking.

Downtown Winter Park

These are just some of the things which we have found are important to homebuyers. What’s important to you? Knowing the value of an experienced agent in helping you find homes which meet your needs is a good reason to work with a Realtor, such

as one of us at Golden Real Estate. When I was new in the business 20 years ago, I didn’t appreciate the value of experience when it came to helping buyers, but I’m clear now that experience does matter. Let us put it to work for you!

Cost-Effective Improvements to Help Your Home Sell Better

When it comes to improving your home to sell it for more money, there are several costeffective options that can make a significant impact. Here are some suggestions:

1. Enhance curb appeal: First impressions matter, so focus on improving the exterior of your home. Trim the lawn, prune bushes, plant flowers, and add fresh mulch. (I have a vendor to recommend for yard cleanup.) Our handyman can repaint the front door, clean windows, and handle other cosmetic repairs.

2. Declutter and deep clean: A clean and clutter-free home appears more spacious and appealing. We can recommend a professional house cleaner, and we provide a free staging consultation to guide you on the rest. Pay special attention to kitchens and bathrooms.

3. Repaint and touch up: A fresh coat of paint can give your home a renewed look. Stick to neutral colors that have broad appeal. Our handyman can patch any holes and deal with peeling paint. Ensure that all surfaces are clean and well-maintained.

4. Upgrade lighting: Good lighting makes your home brighter and more inviting. Replace incandescent and CFL bulbs with LEDs. Focus on key areas such as the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. (Batteries + Bulbs has great deals on LEDs.)

5. Improve your home’s energy efficiency: Buyers want energy-efficient homes. Consider installing weatherstripping, sealing air leaks, and adding insulation if needed. Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances,

such as refrigerators and water heaters, can also be appealing. We can guide you on this and recommend honest vendors

6. Update kitchen and bathrooms: If a major renovation is not feasible, focus on small updates such as replacing cabinet hardware, upgrading faucets, and installing new light fixtures. Consider painting or refinishing cabinets. Flooring is important, too!

7. Enhance storage: Ample storage space is so important! Increase the functionality of closets and cabinets by adding organizers or shelves. Our free stager can provide guidance on this topic, too.

8. Improve your landscaping: Clean up flower beds, and consider some strategic landscaping improvements such as a patio.

9. Address minor repairs: Our handyman (only available to clients) can fix any visible issues like leaky faucets, broken tiles, or squeaky doors. It’s important to fix what I call “eyesores” — anything that draws negative attention during a showing.

10. Stage strategically: Our free stager can help you rearrange furniture to maximize space, remove personal items, and add tasteful decorations.

Hiring Golden Real Estate is a good firststep. Like our handyman, our free stager is a perk from hiring us, but even before hiring us — in other words, during a listing appointment, my broker associates and I are happy to provide our own advice based on our years of experience listing and selling home.

Wheat Ridge stays on housing trend

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wheat Ridge has been attempting to tackle its housing problem through an A ordable Housing Strategy.

“What we’re seeing on a ordability is grassroots,” said Doug Ressler, an analyst at Rent Café. “I mean, you don’t have this one all-encompassing federal program that says, ‘ ou shalt do this if this doesn’t exist.’ So we see a lot coming from the grassroots, from the municipalities, boroughs, towns, counties, things like that.”

Ressler added that the demand for a ordable housing is coming from the stagnancy in wages against the rise in housing costs. It’s causing a shift in the demand for a ordable rental housing that according to Ressler, forces cities like Wheat Ridge to step in.

“For the most part, these people vote, right? So these realities want to be able to not only meet demand, but they want to make sure that the people that live in their areas are also satis ed,” he said.

Rent Café found that over 80% of U.S. residents have chosen to live in an urban setting as of 2023.

“And with that number set to rise to nearly 90% by 2050, house prices

are rising, with signi cant consequences to housing a ordability,” according to the statistics.

“So that’s why many politicians and many businesses are starting to collaborate at the grassroots level, to be able to make things more a ordable,” Ressler explained.

And that’s exactly what the city of Wheat Ridge is doing. According to Je Hirt Wheat Ridge’s Senior Neighborhood Planner, the city saw a ordability as a challenge that o cials accepted. ey started by applying for an a ordable Housing Strategy grant which became the rst step in a city policy change. at change would become the ve-year plan that the city council approved in January of this year.

Hirt explained that the process included an assessment that found, that about 36% of all Wheat Ridge households meet the federal de nition of “cost-burdened,” meaning that these households spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs. at number is particularly high for renters, where over 50% of renter households are cost-burdened, according to the assessment. is is in line with Rent Café’s ndings that most renters are looking for a ordability. Ressler explained that a ordability and the realities of homeownership are factors. His

millennial renters have neither the means, nor the desire to buy a home that needs costly maintenance, tax payments, insurance, and other trappings of home ownership.

“What we see is a basic changing, if you will, of people’s attitudes about the fact of owning homes,” he said. And thus, the market demand for rentals is rising. Ressler went on to say that lifestyle is the focus and the Denver Metro area is one of those lifestyle markets.

Wheat Ridge, with its cultural events, open spaces and parks, also quali es. e challenge, according to Ressler is creating a place where the price of rentals matches, “the price point that people are looking for in terms of the basic wage and salary income that ts their lifestyle.”

e city of Wheat Ridge is right on top of that trend. Hirt said that the assessment actually forum that the city has, “a relatively high number of a ordable rental units.” He says the problem is the aging and turnover of units to redevelopers. is drives up the cost of the rentals and is a problem that the strategy will tackle as well.

Hirt said the strategy will tackle housing in the city with:

• Some changes to the zoning code;

• Creating a new Wheat Ridge Housing Fund;

• Hiring a new sta person to capitalize on an increasing number of state and federal funding opportunities;

• Implementing a “naturally occurring a ordable housing” preservation program;

• New policies that would require a set aside of a certain number of housing units for workforce housing with some new residential developments (“inclusionary housing”); and

• a number of other actions that the city can take to address housing a ordability.

All of these measures are on trend for what other cities are doing across the country to attack the housing crisis, according to Ressler. He gave examples of Minneapolis, which has made policy and ordinance changes to make parking less of a barrier to building more a ordable rental housing.

In fact, parking and housing affordability is an issue that Wheat Ridge City Council is working on in their current session.

Ressler believes that the housing market will see more creative solutions. Cities like Wheat Ridge are at the cutting edge of things. When asked what he predicts to be the next trend in housing, Ressler said transit-oriented collaborations.

Like coordination of policy with RTD accessibility, which the city council already discusses in city council meetings.

$2 million bond set for teens charged in Denver-area rock-throwing spree

Prosecutors unsuccessfully requested the judge set bond at $10 million, arguing the teens’ release from jail would put the community at risk

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL COLORADO SUN

A judge set a $2 million cash-only bond Wednesday for each of the three teens charged with firstdegree murder in a rock-throwing spree that killed 20-year-old Alexa Bartell and injured several others. Joseph Koenig, Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, all 18, must also surrender their passport and driver’s license, comply with protection orders against victims in the case, are prohibited from drinking alcohol and must be monitored by GPS, 1st Judicial District Court Judge Christopher

Zenisek said during a hearing Wednesday morning in Jefferson County.

Zenisek denied a request to set bond at $10 million by the prosecution, who argued that the three young men’s actions “was indiscriminate murder” and that their release from jail would put the community at risk.

“There’s no amount that will alleviate the pain that the victims are feeling and have expressed here and I am sorry for your loss, and there is no amount that adequately will symbolize the importance of that individual to this community,” Zenisek said. “So, that’s not what the court is seeking to do here. This is a different task before the court that is to set bond appropriately as the court must do with regard to each of these individuals before the court.”

All three men have been held in jail without bond since they were arrested in their respective Arvada homes late April.

They are suspected of throwing large rocks at a string of cars shortly after 10 p.m. on April 19 in Westminster.

CAG Thrift Shop & Food Pantry

That included an attack in which they hurled a cannonball-size rock at another woman driving along Colorado 93, prosecutors said in court Wednesday morning. After the rock struck the driver’s side window, glass shattered into her eyes, injured her head and neck, ripped a hole through her car’s leather seat and broke the rear window of the car. The woman slammed on her brakes in the middle of the highway.

Bartell was the last person struck. Prosecutors said Koenig was driving 80 mph on Indiana Street when the teens launched the rock at Bartell’s yellow Chevy Spark as she was talking on the phone with a friend. The rock smashed through her front windshield and struck her in her head.

Alexa Bartell’s family pleaded for the judge not to grant bond.

Kelly Bartell, Alexa’s mother, stood at the dais recounting the “terrifying” five-minute drive to the field where Alexa’s body was found next to her car, which had run off the road and into a field after the rock flew through her windshield and hit her only child in the head.

“I wake up every day reliving this nightmare over and over. I will never be able to hug my baby, to hold her, to laugh with her and to watch her live her life with all the experiences that she will never be able to have. That was taken from me by these three individuals who chose to kill my daughter by throwing a rock through her windshield,” Kelly Bartell said, her voice quavering.

Greg Bartell, Alexa’s father, told the judge several of his family members are afraid to drive, fearing something similar could happen to them. He called the defendants a danger to the community.

Our Goals:

• To provide support and empathy in an inclusive environment.

• To provide help for those in need in our community.

• To operate a food pantry in the Golden area for the benefit of local families and individuals.

• To provide short-term financial assistance to those experiencing crisis or sudden hardship

• To provide consultation and advice regarding additional support services in the vicinity.

You never know what treasure you will find in our thrift shop!!

“Our fear as a family is with the release of these gentlemen, that may happen to another innocent individual. While these men are contemplating the thought of freedom our family is plagued with the forever loss of our loved one,” said Greg Bartell, who attended the hearing virtually.

When setting bond and weighing flight risk, Zenisek considered the three teens’ age, lack of criminal histories and family support.

Defense attorneys for the three men argued that bond be set much lower, arguing that they are not at flight risk and that their families will help bring them to court for future hearings.

Koenig, Karol-Chik and Kwakeach face 13 charges, which include one count of first-degree murder with extreme indifference,

six counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of seconddegree assault and three counts of attempted second-degree assault, court documents show.

The extreme indifference charges allege the men knowingly created a “grave risk of death,” without caring who was injured or killed, resulting in Bartell’s death.

An attorney for Karol-Chik said Wednesday “potentially more serious charges” could be filed.

During interviews with police following their arrests, Karol-Chik and Kwak each accused the other of throwing the rock that killed Bartell. Koenig refused to be interviewed by police.

After the rock smashed through Bartell’s window and killed her,the men returned to the crash site to take a picture of the carto serve as a memento, they told investigators.

Police say the men hit six other cars and two other drivers were injured.

A preliminary hearing was rescheduled for Sept. 8.

Artists channel creative spark at fifth annual ARTSWEEK GOLDEN

Circus Foundry performers return for Golden Mill showcase

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For artists, there’s no better way to swing into summer than showcasing at Foothills Art Center’s annual ARTSWEEK GOLDEN.

e fth annual event drew more than 100 artists to Golden June 19-25 for several community events, including the June 24-25 arts festival downtown. Organizers were excited to welcome about 30 new artists this year, and host returning ones like those from Denver’s Circus Foundry. e aerialists, jugglers and acrobats performed between early evening rainstorms June 21, as hundreds of Goldenites and visitors watched on with food and beverage in-hand.

Circus Foundry has performed at ARTSWEEK all ve years, hosting its rst three shows in the FAC courtyard. But last year, organizers moved the performance to the Golden Mill to draw more attendees, raise funds for FAC and host more ARTSWEEK events throughout the city.

Executive Director Hassan Najjar described how, because both the organization’s campuses are under construction, the Foothills Art Center was leaning more on its community partners this year.

Golden City Brewery hosted a June 19 sketch-and-paint event with local artist Janet Nunn; the Golden Beer Talks featured painter Jesse Crock at its June 20 event; and the Golden Civic Foundation’s annual Summer Jam

June 22 was scheduled to host a pottery demonstration.

While the logistics looked a little di erent this year, Najjar emphasized how the goal of ARTSWEEK remained.

“We want to elevate the arts in Golden,” he said. “ is gets people thinking about it for a solid week.”

Eriq Hochuli, FAC’s curator for ARTSWEEK, was excited to see a nice blend of new and returning artists, including the Circus Foundry performers. Hochuli said hosting them at the Golden Mill was the perfect way to “get lots of eyes on the performance.”

Anthony Cummings, Circus Foundry’s co-founder, said he and the other eight performers were excited

to provide free entertainment for Goldenites and other guests, saying ARTSWEEK crowds are always very welcoming and enthusiastic.

Because circuses and circus-style acts historically haven’t been accessible to everyone, Cummings encouraged anyone interested in learning to give it a try. He and his performers emphasized how people of all ages, skill levels and backgrounds can learn.

Kyle Sherk, who’s been studying Chinese pole acrobatics for twoand-a-half years, described how he started out as a rock-climber. After 15 years of doing the sport, he said he wanted to try something di erent, and learning vertical acrobatics was easier than he’d expected.

Most of his fellow Circus Foundry students have gymnastics and/or dance backgrounds, so performing seems more natural for them. Sherk’s performed at student showcases

and this summer’s Parker Days, and said it’s a good opportunity for him to practice his focus while he’s in the proverbial spotlight.

Meanwhile, Natatia Smith levied her history in dance, gymnastics and martial arts into multiple circus disciplines.

She performed at last year’s ARTSWEEK show at the Golden Mill. is year, she returned with a sling performance, winding and spinning down from more than 20 feet in the air.

“I’ve never done something quite like it before,” she said of performing at the Golden Mill.

Smith described how she appreciates the combination of athletics and creativity that’s inherent to all performing arts, but especially circus disciplines. She also loves channeling that creative spark that drives all artists — the thought of taking something from one’s imagination and bringing it to life for others to enjoy.

Former deputies charged in Glass case to appear in Clear Creek County court on Aug. 7

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e former Clear Creek sheri ’s deputies charged in the June 2022 death of Christian Glass in Silver Plume will be in court again at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 7 for a status hearing in preparation for their trials.

Former Sgt. Kyle Gould and former deputy Andrew Buen were in court on June 21 for a 10-minute status hearing. An issue discussed at the hearing was whether Gould and Buen would have a joint trial or whether they would be tried separately.

Catherine Cheroutes, 5th Judicial District Court judge, said she believes they should be tried together because they were named together in the grand jury indictment, but no o cial decision has been made yet. Cheroutes told the defense attorneys that they would need to le for a “severance” to request separate trials.

e defendants’ attorneys have said that unequal media attention has been focused on Buen, so the defendants likely would pursue separate trials.

e attorneys asked for more time to work out details before the two men are tried in the case in which Glass, who was stranded in his car and called 911 on June 10, 2022. O cers asked Glass to leave his car, but he refused in what turned into a stando that ended when o cers broke the car window and used a Taser on Glass, according to the indictments.

Buen shot Glass, killing him. Gould was not at the scene but was a supervisor watching Buen’s bodycamera footage. He ordered deputies to remove Glass from his car, according to the indictments.

In April, Cheroutes denied mo-

tions by both defendants to dismiss their cases.

Buen has been charged with second-degree murder, o cial misconduct and reckless endangerment. Gould has been charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment.

On May 23, four agencies reached a settlement with the family to pay $19 million. ree law enforcement agencies and the state will pay the settlement since o cers from four agencies were at the scene the night Glass was killed.

Clear Creek County will pay $10 million; $5 million from Georgetown; $3 million from the state of Colorado; and $1 million from Idaho Springs. It is the largest known single payout for police violence in the state’s history.

On May 24, Gov. Jared Polis apologized to Christian Glass’ parents, Simon and Sally, then declared May 24 Christian Glass Day and displayed Glass’ artwork that has been hung in the Capitol.

“What happened to Christian should not have happened,” Polis told Glass’ parents in a live-streamed statement. “We are going to do the best we can to avoid any parents going through what you have gone through.”

Earlier this month, the Clear Creek County commissioners announced that the county would start a mental-health crisis co-responder program with its pilot program to be implemented this summer.

In a statement, they called the killing of Christian Glass a “reprehensible act” that should never happen again. ey also said Sheri Rick Albers had not “adequately accepted responsibility” for his role in the tragedy and needed to correct the gaps in training and protocols that existed when Glass died.

ChatGPT o ciates wedding in Morrison

Couple has artificial intelligence create their ceremony

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Reese Wiench and Deyton Truitt said their marriage vows in a church built in 1885. But couples who were wed there in decades past would never guess that the extensive planning for the service didn’t require much in the way of human expertise.

at’s because the couple turned to arti cial intelligence to create their wedding ceremony in Morrison on June 24.

Speci cally, ChatGPT planned the welcome, the speech, the closing remarks — everything except the vows — making ChatGPT, in essence, the wedding o ciant. Since arti cial intelligence is not recognized as a wedding o ciant by the state of Colorado, Reese’s dad Steve Wiench signed the marriage license.

ChatGPT provided a recording of the ceremony that was played through speakers on a stage in the front of the Historic Morrison Church. To make it more interesting, the family bought a robot mask to put on top of the speakers to make it appear that someone was speaking. e couple decided to get married quickly because Truitt deploys next week for the Army, and they wanted to be married so Reese can join him after he completes basic training. ey planned the entire wedding in ve days.

Reese said they were joking about how to get a wedding together that quickly. ey found a venue and decided that attendees would play kazoos to provide the music. ey found a wedding-cake baker, and the cake topper sported a bride and an Army soldier. ey bought their wedding attire.

But they didn’t have an o ciant.

“So, we decided to try using ChatGPT to write the ceremony,” Reese’s dad Steve Wiench said.

ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, was developed by research company Open AI. Users can ask questions or input data, and ChatGPT will generate a written response to the desired length, style and detail.

Arti cial intelligence is being used more often in weddings from writing vows to helping with planning.

Truitt is a rm believer in articial intelligence, noting that it will change people’s lives by doing jobs in minutes that take humans hours.  e family even used ChatGPT to write a press release announcing the wedding and a statement that was distributed to the 30 wedding guests.

According to the ChatGPT-generated statement handed out to guests: “As the AI o ciant for Reese Alyson Wiench and Deyton Truitt’s wedding, I will focus on celebrating their unique journey of love and unity, highlighting the remarkable merging of human connection and technological innovation. I will emphasize the power of their union to inspire, unite and break barriers, capturing the attention of the world with a story that transcends conventional norms. During the ceremony, I will eloquently express the signicance of this historic moment and the limitless possibilities that arise when love and technology intersect.”

While arti cial intelligence can help those with di culties expressing themselves in writing and is becoming more prevalent, some raise concerns that it may be used by in place of human-conducted research and writing.

Reese, 23, works at children’s summer camps at Mount Vernon Canyon Club, while Truitt, 26, will be a network communication systems specialist after basic training at Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina.

dating site two years ago, and Truitt said he had such a good time with Reese from the beginning that “I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.”

Truitt said ChatGPT was easier for the couple to use to create the wedding ceremony because “I didn’t want to curate what an o ciant said.” Instead, they had control over the themes the ChatGPT o ciant used.

As part of the ceremony, the ChatGPT o ciant quoted scripture and expounded on the passages as they related to love, marriage and the future.

However, the couple didn’t read the script before the ceremony began, so it was new to them as they heard it at 8 p.m. during their wedding — having faith that the ceremony would be just what they wanted.

“I programmed (ChatGPT),” Truitt said. “I know it’s trustworthy.”

In the vows he wrote, Truitt told Reese he was sorry he couldn’t live up to what she deserved.

“I don’t have enough time on this Earth to give you all the love you deserve,” Truitt said, calling her kind-hearted, caring and genuine. “I love the person you are turning me into.”

Reese told Truitt she didn’t want to say anything cheesy or cliche, so she wrote him a love poem as her vows, ending with: “I know that you are with me because I am yours and

After the ceremony that included the ring exchange, the kiss and introducing the married couple, guests said they enjoyed the articial-intelligence generated wedding. Truitt and Reese were pleased, too. “ChatGPT took something personal to humans like a wedding and enhanced it,” Reese said.

Reese Wiench and Deyton Truitt say their vows, the only things not written by ChatGPT during the wedding.

Hail, rain damage homes, cars, gardens in the foothills

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

People are assessing the damage to their homes, vehicles and gardens after a massive storm moved through metro Denver overnight on June 21, bringing golf ball-sized hail and downpours to some areas while other areas stayed dry.

e storm came on the rst day of summer, and the National Weather Service predicted similar storms on June 22. ose on Facebook say hail ranged from pebbles to golf ball size.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre received so much rain and hail during a concert that more than 100 people were injured with seven taken to the hospital with broken bones and other non-life-threatening injuries, according to Ronda Scholting, spokeswoman for West Metro Fire.

Bear Mountain Vista in Evergreen received nearly an inch of rain.

Video footage and photos of the storm’s aftermath show the damage, and Facebook posts in Evergreen and Conifer talked about broken car windows, dented vehicles, shattered skylights, downed trees, broken outdoor furniture, and decimated owers and gardens.

Some Facebook posts said the good news was that it smelled like Christmas and pine trees, and others asked about reliable roofers and carrepair shops.

Colorado is known as “hail alley” because of storms that move through the area, especially in the summer. e costliest storm to date was on May 8, 2017, that resulted in $2.3 billion in hail-related insurance claims, according to Carole Walker with the Rocky Mountain Insurance Agency.

Walker said while some areas received extensive hail and rain damage on June 21, she didn’t believe the storm caused what the insurance industry calls “catastrophic damage,” which generally includes insurance

After Refacing

claims topping $25 million.

“With this storm, we are still in wait-and-see mode,” Walker said.

“When hail storms take place overnight, it generally takes more time for people to nd some of the damage and le insurance claims.”

Bear Creek, which runs through Evergreen to Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, is seeing unusually high ows, according to Dave Lighthart, general manager of the Evergreen Metro District. Just west of Evergreen Lake, ows early in the afternoon on June 22 were at 257 cubic feet per second, with a high at 2 a.m. June 22 of 352 cfs. In Morrison, water ow was 473 cfs on June 22, with a high of 621 cfs at 5 a.m.

Lighthart said that water ows in Bear Creek have been averaging about 100 cfs recently due to the rain in May and June, and in an average year, the water ow is 70 cfs near Evergreen Lake and 80 cfs in Morrison.

Other issues

e Evergreen Park & Recreation District was still assessing the damage on ursday morning as workers cleared parking lots of leaves and other debris brought by the storm.

“We have parking lots that were washed out, and some of our sta lost windows in their cars,” said Cory Vander Veen, the rec district’s executive director. He did not know whether buildings had been damaged by the hail.

While Evergreen Fire/Rescue did not respond to any emergency calls thanks to the storm, the department lost skylights in two of its stations, according to Fire Chief Mike Weege.

Grace Hills Community Church in Indian Hills sustained some cracked windows thanks to the hail, according to Pastor Marcus Mackey.

Interstate 70 in Genesee was difcult to navigate during the storm on June 21 because of the hail and pouring rain, and cars stopped on

the highway and along the shoulders because visibility was poor.

Insurance claims

Insurance agents say homeowners should determine whether they have a claim, and if so, they should contact their insurance company immediately. In the meantime – especially with so many car repair shops and roofers being short-sta and busy –start contacting someone to nd out when they might be available to do the work. ey suggest that it’s best if the roofer can meet with the insurance adjuster.

For those needing roo ng work done, the Colorado legislature adopted a law in 2012 that requires a signed contract between the property owner and the roofer; that the roo ng contractor cannot o er to pay the homeowner’s deductible or rebate that money; if the homeowner voids the contract, the roofer must return the deposit; and the roo ng contractor can’t claim to be an insurance adjuster.

“With the erratic, volatile weather recently, people can’t count on a hailstorm on a certain day of the month or a certain time of day,” Walker said. “People just need to be prepared.”

Kittredge Park can be seen in the background as water rushes down Bear Creek on June 22.

Navigating the acute disruption of change I

Ir ecently worked with a nineyear-old male-presenting client who had one of the most unique dispositions I have seen in a long time.  I believe a primary contributing factor to his brilliant ability to connect was this:

My client was allowed thirty minutes each week of personal screen time for gaming and connecting with friends, and only on the weekends (not including school work).

Notice what you’re doing at this moment. Can you name the reaction(s) you’re having as you read the above sentence? How does this idea resonate with you? How would the notion of the choice to restrict your children’s access to devices — impact your life and that of your children?

I share his story here because if you’re a parent, you may be feeling the acute disruption of the transitions with the season: school is out for the summer, school start times are changing for the fall, and the weather is more changeable than it has been in recent years.

Continuing on with the story: my virtual sessions with my client focused initially on building trust

He came alive in the most animated and focused way as he shared all he knew from his adventure with his older siblings into the natural world. He could name an abundance of creepy crawlers, flying insects, beetles, caterpillars, small mammals, birds and larger wildlife that roamed the forest and meadow.

He told me he was an avid treeclimber, and taught me how he scoped, then clambered into the crooks of the various trees. He could name many plants and the types of trees. This was his world.

I came to understand that his anxiety was a result of his difficulty relating to the kids in his class. His discomfort was that his classmates had little or no connection what-

During one session I asked how he might share that world with me. He replied instantly, “I can draw it for you!” And he did! His mother put up a big piece of butcher paper and he brought his marker pens to the session.

As he drew, he described what he was seeing in his mind’s eye. I watched in wonder as he created his world. I’d ask a question which would open a new channel and he’d excitedly explain what he was making and how it related to other parts of his giant mural. He took it to school and shared it with the class. From that experience, his teacher formed a field trip so the class could experience it for themselves.

His connection to the natural world and whole-hearted excitement in sharing it with me was testament to just how simple con-

If you feel pressure to be a stellar parent, ask yourself where it comes from. Give yourself space to voice any fears that you don’t measure up. What belief system(s) are driving your need to provide? Are your solutions complex and expensive? Where can you simplify your beliefs about what your child needs? If you don’t already, spend time to engage your children in the natural world.

How would you spend money if you were the governor of Colorado?

If creating a budget involves making choices, then it should follow that the choices made in that budget should bene t everyone involved. A budget with expenditures made for the entire state of Colorado ought to bene t all citizens of our state if not directly, then at least indirectly.

It should be remembered that conservatives are not against government expenditures per se. What we are against are waste and poorly considered spending.

If I were the governor of Colorado, I would submit a budget with these two large expenditures for approval by our legislature to bene t all citizens of Colorado.

1. A second medical school. e CUAnschutz Medical Center accomplishes a great deal for our state. In my opinion, a second allelopathic medical school is needed to serve our expanding population. at proposed medical school should have clinics spread out around the state to serve our rural residents in their own communities. Done properly, this school would complement CU-Anschutz.

A second medical school would bring employment opportunities with good-paying jobs directly wherever its main campus would be located as well as to the satellite campuses within our state’s rural areas. Additional jobs would be created through a multiplier e ect as a result of the jobs created directly by the proposed medical school.

Construction of such a school could be nanced through bonds and ultimately if this school is planned correctly, it would add revenue to the state budget rather than subtract revenue. Finally, it should be noted that other states than Colorado support two publicly funded medical schools.

Have fun your way this summer

I’m a pretty rm believer that summer doesn’t actually begin until June 21 (I guess I’m a big equinox guy or something) and I think this year’s weather really bears me out, seeing as we didn’t really start having proper summer weather until June 19.

So, now that we’re actually into the most fun season of the year, it’s time for my quarterly round-up of great events to honor it properly.

Go to the World’s Fair with Molly Brown American history bu s know that the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair is one of the key cultural events of our history. It was a chance to showcase innovations like electricity, highlight the work of artists of all kinds and give visitors the chance to explore the rich history and exciting future of the world at large. e list of those visitors include Denver’s own Molly Brown and her family.

In celebration of the fair’s 130th anniversary, the Molly Brown House Museum, 1340 Pennsylvania St. in Denver, is hosting “ e World is Changing” exhibit through Sunday, Aug. 27. Visitors will be able to peruse unique original artifacts from the event, learn more about what fair attendees saw and how it changed the world.

In addition to the exhibit, there will be special events throughout its run, like an examination of the food that was served at the fair and see how people of color and women were represented there.

All the event information can be found at https://mollybrown.org/ visit-us/exhibits/.

You’re going to need a bigger amphitheater for ‘Jaws’

You can make a solid case that Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” is a perfect lm. Even if you discard the mountains of money it made, the way it totally rejiggered lmmaking and the lm industry, and how it announced one of the art form’s most important gures, everything about it just works — the score, the suspense, the characters, the shark (well, that

COMING ATTRACTIONS

might be the one caveat).

“Jaws” is going to be screened during the summer for as long as we have summers, but what a treat to see the Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 6:30 p.m. on ursday, July 6, as part of its Film on the Rocks lineup. Some lms just work better with big crowds and “Jaws” de nitely ts the bill.  Get tickets at www.axs.com.

Celebrate 43 years at the KYGO Birthday Bash

Country music and rap don’t have a whole lot in common, but one thing they do share is that both sound best in the summer. With that in mind, why not attend KYGO’s annual Birthday Bash, which features a collection of some of the genre’s best artists — Brothers Osborne, Niko Moon, Kameron Marlowe, Hailey Whitters, Randall King and Double Wide.  e concert will be held from 4 to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 1 at Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre, 6350 Greenwood Plaza Blvd in Greenwood Village. Many of the musicians are up-and-comers (Whitters is a particular favorite of mine), which makes for an exciting pairing with Brothers Osborne, who are blending country and rock in really fun ways.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Dead & Company at Folsom Field

What a long, strange trip indeed. I’m not sure what anybody expected when it was announced the Grateful Dead would be relaunching with many of the original members and pop/blues guitarist John Mayer. But since Dead & Company began touring in 2016, they’ve shown an admirable dedication to

the original band’s ethos and have introduced new generations to the music in a live setting.

But all good things must come to an end and the group announced their 2023 tour would be their last, which means their performances at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 1, Sunday, July 2 and Monday, July 3 at Folsom Field, 2400 Colorado Ave. in Boulder, will be your last opportunity to catch the group in-person.

Head over to www.ticketmaster. com for tickets to what will certainly be a historic run.

Go on a culinary journey at Taste of Arvada

Who doesn’t love a good meal to go with a beautiful summer evening? But what kind of cuisine to go with? Fortunately, you don’t have

to decide at the annual Taste of Arvada, which will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on ursday, July 13 at the Apex Center, 13150 72ndAve. in Arvada.

e ever-popular event features more than 50 metro area and Arvada restaurants, bakeries, breweries, wineries, distilleries and more, all highlighting their best tastes and avors. In addition to all the things people can eat and drink, the event also features live music, art vendors and more.

The brain is overrated, according to Kadam Lucy James at the Kadampa Meditation Center.

“Have you ever felt peaceful in your head?” she asked.

She put her hands over her heart and said that’s where the mind is, adding that while the brain has conceptual reality, the mind exists in the heart, where we feel peace, love, joy and wisdom.

“If we can get into our heart, we automatically start to feel more peaceful,” she said.

James is temporarily living in Arvada and teaches meditation at the Kadampa Meditation Center. She started practicing about 41 years ago after she saw a “very peaceful person” in college.

“He was a student meditating on the end of his bed and I asked him what he was doing, because this was back in 1981, and meditation, no one had heard of back then,” she said.

Ever since, she’s been practicing and has taught all around the world, including England, San Francisco, New York City and now Denver. She hopes to one day achieve enlightenment, or in nite happiness and peace.

It takes a lot of hard work, but she said it’s the only thing where the more she does it, the happier she is.

It’s because, with meditation, the mind becomes naturally peaceful. Each person has a natural source of peace and happiness inside them, she said, and instead of seeking it elsewhere — relationships, ful lling jobs or material things — it’s already inside the body waiting to

be found.

e evidence lies in the random moments of peace and happiness everyone feels. It could be a torrential downpour and the mind is peaceful, settled and calm.

“What those moments show is that our mind is ne. And then what unsettles the mind is actually all our uncontrolled thinking,” she said.

Coming from the teachings of the Buddha, she compared the mind to a vast ocean. e waves are turbulent while below them is a vast, in nite, calm place. Waves of anxiety and negative emotions distort the brain but below those waves rests an incredible sanity.

“When our mind is settled, when we can let go of our troubled thoughts, and our turbulent thoughts, uncontrolled thoughts, then we naturally feel good. We naturally feel peaceful and we start to get a sense of our potential and who we really are, which is this person who has limitless potential, limitless happiness,” James said.

e rst step to unlocking that potential and happiness is to breathe.

Focus on the nostrils

Carol O’Dowd, a Trauma and Transition Psychotherapist and Spiritual Counselor assists her clients by meeting them where they are and o ering them acceptance through breathing.

“If you focus on your breath, you cannot simultaneously focus on all your internal dialogue. It cannot be done. e human brain is not wired that way,” O’Dowd said.

It creates a space between the thoughts. e stress and anxiety stored in the body don’t go away, but the practice of noticing the emotions and putting them on pause to breathe helps

calm the body down.

Breathing is a function of the body that automatically happens all the time. Focusing on that breath, O’Dowd compared it to a spectrum. What happens when the body stops breathing — death — is one end and the other is when the body pays attention to the breath — peace.

“It can be as simple as just experiencing that ow of air, and in and out of your nostrils. If you can place your attention there, that’s giving yourself a mini vacation,” she said.

O’Dowd encourages her clients to practice treating uncontrolled thoughts like a salesperson trying to sell them. Instead of buying, make them sit in the corner and return to them in 20 minutes after taking time to check in with the body.

It can also let go of stress. Pain, like what the ngers feel after working at a computer all day, can be a physical manifestation of stress. Holding on to that stress can lead to other health conditions.

“It’s not rocket science,” she said.

Escape to reality

James said achieving enlightenment is extremely di cult, and while the teachings she studied laid out di erent steps and pathways, she simpli ed it down to three. e rst is focusing on the breath to relax. e second is identifying delusions.

A delusion can be jealousy, greed, competitiveness or other unpleasant thoughts. Most of the time, those thoughts aren’t controlled by the mind and enter the brain randomly. It’s the root

BREATHING

FROM PAGE 16

of many problems, she said, and they destroy happiness.

“It’s completely unnecessary. Which is the whole purpose of meditation, to show us how unnecessary it is,” she said. “We’ve been so busy trying to control everything outside of us.”

She compared it to anger with someone else. It may last for a few days and then one day, those angry feelings leave.

“If you can do that deliberately (getting rid of negative feelings), which we can, then you can see we stopped the grasping or stopped the delusions, we just experience deeper and deeper levels of happiness,” she said.

Identifying delusions is the rst part of the equation. e other half is universal love and caring about others. It comes from understanding everyone wants to be happy, and that there isn’t much di erence between people.

It can be a city councilor running for o ce, understanding their opponent wants the same things, but sees di erent ideas on how to move forward. ey aren’t always bad people.

Realizing that leads to the next step: wisdom. at takes understanding reality. It means turning away from the anxiety, sadness and other negative emotions and escaping to the reality within the body that possesses in nite happiness and peace.

“We can train in wisdom. Understanding that things are not as real as they appear,” James said.

Hidden loneliness epidemic endangers Coloradans

Older adults face especially high risk

BY CLAIRE CLEVELAND FREELANCE REPORTER

On a sunny afternoon, Carolyn Campos and Naomi Bates are midway through a game of checkers. ey’re sitting in Campos’ apartment at a facility in Aurora for people who are 62 and older.

ey go back and forth, moving the magnetized pieces and commenting on the other person’s strategy. e pair are also fond of playing backgammon, the rst game they played together.

“Of course, she let me win,” Bates said. “Our next venture is chess, but I don’t know if she’s going to be open to that.”

Campos shakes her head. She doesn’t like chess.

e two women often nish each other’s sentences. ey have an easy friendship, as if they’ve known each other a long time. Yet in fact, they just met in March after they were connected through the Senior Companion Program, which is part of Spark the Change Colorado, a volunteer, service and civic engagement organization.

e program matches volunteers who are 55 years or better, as the program describes, with people who are also older than 55 and known as clients. e program is funded by AmeriCorps Seniors, a federal service agency, and aims to support the independence of older adults in their homes, and create friendships that allow people to “continue to be vibrant, contributing members of our communities.”

“ ere are a lot of people who would probably enjoy having

somebody to hook up with, to create a friendship with and to come weekly to see you,” Campos said.

“ at would be awesome for a lot of people that live in this community.”

Loneliness and social isolation are increasingly being recognized as a nationwide epidemic. e U.S. Surgeon General’s o ce, headed by Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, released an 81-page report earlier this year detailing the scourge of loneliness and social isolation, and also laid out a national strategy for addressing it, following recommendations from both national and global organizations.

Loneliness refers to the subjective experience that results from feeling isolated or having inadequate connections with others, while social isolation is objectively having few relationships, social roles or group memberships and infrequent social interaction. Nearly half of all adults in America reported experiencing loneliness in recent years—and that was before the COVID-19 pandemic cut o many people from their friends, loved ones and support systems.

“Both loneliness and isolation affect our health,” said Carla Perissinotto, MD, MHS, a geriatrician and professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco. “ at’s true even when we control for traditional medical risk factors.”

Loneliness is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression and premature death. It poses health risks as deadly as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day and costs the health industry billions of dollars annually, according to the surgeon general’s report.

Last fall, Campos moved from Kentucky to Denver to be closer to her children and grandchildren. While she sees her family much more than she did when she was living in another state, she still wishes she could see them more.

Campos has limited mobility due to some health concerns, so she typically stays at home unless someone is able to provide transportation.

“I don’t get around that much, but I would love to meet more people in my complex. But it’s di cult,” she

said. “Everywhere I go, I’m stuck to [my oxygen tank], so it’s di cult to get out.”

Campos and Bates meet every Monday and play games together or watch cooking shows. On one meetup, Bates brought Chinese food, a favorite of the pair.

For Bates, the volunteer opportunity is about more than just helping her clients (of which she has three); it’s also kept her from feeling isolated.

“It’s very ful lling and rewarding. And plus, I’m retired, so I need to also ll up my time. Just don’t want to sit around doing nothing,” Bates e growing concern over the impacts of loneliness and isolation has put a spotlight on the issue, and the pandemic helped place loneliness and isolation in the public discourse.

“Since the pandemic, we’ve all now felt what it feels to be homebound,” said Jillian Racoosin, executive director of the Foundation for Social Connection and the Coalition to End Social Isolation and Loneliness. “I hope that feeling for everyone brought more of an understanding to what our homebound seniors are experiencing day in and day out, and why it’s so important to invest in social support to make sure that we are taking care of those that are in the home.”

But even with more awareness and a decree from the U.S. government, there’s still a stigma associated with being lonely.

“I’ve had multiple people say, ‘I’m not lonely.’ But then you ask them, well, do you feel isolated? Do you feel left out? Do you lack companionship?” Perissinotto said. “ ey say, ‘Yes, all the time.’ And it’s like, well, that’s actually loneliness.”

Campos said she’s learned to manage being alone.

“I’ve just learned how to be by myself. And I enjoy it,” she said. “It gives me chances to do my Bible studies, and I enjoy watching the cooking show ‘Chopped.’”

Lonely older adults tend to have lower incomes, are less likely to be married, live alone and have poorer self-rated health and more physical limitations than their peers who don’t report being lonely, according to Project UnLonely, a program of e Foundation for Art & Healing.

People of color are more likely to be lonely. About three in four Hispanic adults are classi ed as lonely and nearly 70% of Black/African American adults are lonely — both are at least 10 points higher than what is seen among the total population, according to research from health company e Cigna Group.

More data is needed to understand loneliness among other groups, such as LGBTQIA+ older

adults, who are twice as likely to live alone and often lack family support, according to a report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

Across town at Dayspring Villa, a senior living facility, Michael Van Dalsem and Leonard Aube, who were matched through the Senior Companion Program, meet up twice a week — once to attend the Men’s Co ee Group at e Center on Colfax, a community center for LGBTQIA+ Coloradans, and once just to visit.

Aube, who is 83 years old, doesn’t have any family in Colorado. He visits some of the people where he lives, but is dependent on Van Dalsem for rides to e Center on Colfax or to go to Safeway. He can’t travel on his own due to health complications.

“It reminds me that I have something valuable with my time, and that’s important to know that you are valued in some way,” Van Dalsem said. “I enjoy the people. We are good friends.”

“Best friends,” Aube chimed in.

“He’s kind of brought me out of my shell,” Van Dalsem added. “He demanded that I talk.” Van Dalsem has one other client who he takes to doctor’s appointments that the client otherwise would have to get

to by public transportation.

e Senior Companion Program has become a vital resource for older adults across the country, and its results are documented in studies that look at similar interventions.

“What we found is that for people who participated in this peer intervention for one year, which means

you were paired with someone with a similar lived experience, we saw reductions in loneliness, depression and anxiety,” Perissinotto said.

But larger system changes are needed. e Surgeon General’s advisory laid out a framework to create a national strategy based on six pillars: strengthen social infrastructure, enact pro-connection public policies, mobilize the health sector, reform digital environments, deepen knowledge and cultivate a culture of connection. Yet while there’s a lot of evidence on the negative impacts of isolation and loneliness, there’s less evidence on solutions.

“What we don’t have a lot of evidence on is what works in practice, what works for di erent segments of the population, and how can we scale these innovative solutions?”

said Racoosin. “A lot of our e orts now are really focused on that translation piece and supporting organizations, corporations and others to think through how we can not only deploy solutions, but then evaluate them.”

Perissinotto and a colleague, Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University, published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this year calling attention to loneliness and social isolation and the role of health care professionals—even with limitations like insu cient time and policies—in identifying and treating these challenges.

“Assessing for [social isolation and loneliness] periodically and including it in health records would

Crowd helps Golden’s ultimate disc team snap losing streak

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the Colorado Summit headed into a make-it-or-break-it game, fans showed up in force this weekend to ensure their team got the W.

e Summit — Golden’s new semi-professional ultimate disc team — left the Minnesota Wind Chill out in the cold June 24, beating the visiting team 25-15. is snapped a three-game losing streak for the Summit, which needed the win to stay No. 2 in the West Division and keep its playo hopes alive.

About 1,500 fans packed into Colorado School of Mines’ Marv Kay Stadium for the decisive regularseason game. Summit personnel said afterward it was probably the biggest and best crowd they’ve had so far this season.

“It was a really fun game; the crowd was incredible,” player Alex Atkins said. “It was a bounce-back game for us. We needed a big win, and we did well.”

e Colorado Summit was one of three new teams in the American Ultimate Disc League last year. AUDL is the top league in the world, but is considered semi-professional because players aren’t paid enough to play full-time, so most have day jobs.

e league, which is in its 12th season, is comprised of 24 teams across North America. Teams play seven-on-seven non-contact ultimate disc, also called ultimate Frisbee, for 12-minute quarters.

e Colorado Summit played at the University of Denver last summer, where it averaged 1,000 fans per game across its six regular-season games. With their support, the team won the 2022 West Division Championship, with plans to build on that success this year.

e team kicked o its 2023 season with ve consecutive wins, but lost the next three games by one point each. So, beating the Wind Chill June 24 became pivotal for the team’s postseason plans.

With FOX Sports broadcasting the game, the Summit scored rst and never looked back. e home team took a strong 6-3 lead in the rst quarter, and while the Wind Chill tried to ght back, the Summit’s 8-point third quarter widened the gap further.

Summit co-head coach Mike Lun said the crowd played a big role by energizing the players when they needed it most.

Jonathan Nethercutt, the Summit’s handler, described how amped up the players were, which he believed translated to on-the- eld success.

“Not our cleanest game by any means, but I think we got back to playing in an aggressive way,” Nethercutt continued. “ at’s something that suits our style and our personnel.”

An Empire-sized season finale

The Summit has three games left in the regular season, playing consecutive away games June 30-July 1 in Portland and Seattle. Then, July 14, it’ll be back in

Golden for its regular-season finale against the New York Empire — the reigning AUDL champion.

The Empire hasn’t lost a game since 2021, but the Summit hopes to change that.

Nethercutt and Atkins believed July 14 would be a thrilling game, and hoped to draw as many fans as possible to Marv Kay Stadium.

Overall, the two believed the Golden community has really embraced the team, as they’ve seen a lot of new faces at the games and after-parties.

Nethercutt, who recently moved from Golden to Boulder, appreciated seeing his Powder7 coworkers at this season’s home games. Given how the stadium is situated, he said fans can easily spend their afternoons walking along the creek or visiting downtown before heading to a game.

“I think it’s really cool (for the Summit) to be here,” Nethercutt continued. “It feels a little more ‘Colorado Summit’ to be in the foothills, rather than Denver.”

Atkins said it’s a privilege to play for all the Summit fans, whether it’s their first game or their 11th, commenting, “I just appreciate everyone coming out, and I hope it keeps growing.”

Georgetown’s Slacker Half Marathon a special feat for heart transplant recipient

BY DEBORAH SWEARINGEN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

When Sedalia resident Andrea Ogg received a heart transplant in July 2018, she made a promise with herself to live a full life in honor of her donor.

As Ogg competed in the Slacker Half Marathon from Loveland Ski Area to Georgetown on June 24, she hoped to embody that promise.

“For me, the half marathon is the exclamation point on that sentiment of my just unending gratitude that someone made this decision (to donate their heart),” she said. “It’s a big responsibility.”

Ogg, now 57, was born with a rare congenital condition called left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy, in which the lower left chamber of the heart doesn’t develop correctly. However, she didn’t learn about the condition until an unrelated echocardiogram in her mid-30s.

For years, she struggled to exercise, fainted regularly and experienced shortness of breath — all symptoms of the heart condition she didn’t know about. But she internalized the idea that she was lazy, unathletic and unmotivated to put in the work necessary to get in shape.

Learning of her heart condition was hard but also validating.

“In reality, I’d been working harder than everyone else just to get through life,” Ogg said.

After being diagnosed, she continued to manage her symptoms with a cardiac de brillator for some 15 years before her heart stopped at a play rehearsal, putting her in end-stage heart failure and on the list for a transplant.

Transplant surgery and the subsequent recovery weren’t easy. Ogg had complications that required additional procedures, and she ultimately stayed in the hospital for a month or so.

But “a rough start certainly doesn’t mean a rough life,” she said.

As an immunosuppressed person, Ogg spent much of her strict

pandemic quarantine getting in shape. She got outside and hiked a lot before deciding to begin training for the Slacker earlier this year.

“After a lifetime of being left behind physically, Ogg has spent the past ve years focusing on her health and tness, counseling others who are pre- and posttransplant, and checking o bucket list items, like the country’s “highest downhill half marathon,” said Cheryl Talley, director of communications and public relations for the Denver-based Donor Alliance.

Exercise is easier with a healthy heart, but there are still challenges.

For example, when Ogg’s original heart was removed, it was separated from the vagus nerve, the

main nerves of a person’s parasympathetic nervous system. For the average person, this nerve system ensures the heart knows to beat faster during exercise to give their lungs more oxygen.

Some hearts reinnervate post surgery, but Ogg’s has not. is makes warming up even more crucial than it is for other runners.

“I just have to go by how I feel,” Ogg said.

For the Slacker, which descends from the base of the Loveland Ski Area more than 2,000 feet in elevation to downtown Georgetown, Ogg planned to begin walking at a brisk pace before beginning to jog.

She nished in just over 3 hours, wearing a sign honoring her heart

donor for the course of the race.

According to the Donor Alliance, one donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation, and save and heal more than 75 lives through eye and tissue donation. In Colorado and Wyoming, roughly 1,500 are on the waiting list for an organ transplant.

As Ogg approaches the ve-year anniversary of the transplant that changed her life, she hopes to continue honoring her donor and raising awareness about organ donation.

“People who receive new organs can go on to live extraordinary lives,” she said. “ ere can be a misconception about what life is like for organ recipients.”

LONELINESS

FROM PAGE 20

allow clinicians to monitor it over time and adjust their responses as patients’ needs and circumstances change. … Patients’ lives may hang in the balance,” the paper reads.

Older adults are often thought of as more likely to be lonely, but according to the Surgeon General’s report, young adults are nearly twice as likely to be lonely than older adults. 79% of adults aged 18 to 24 report feeling lonely compared to 41% of those aged 66 and older.

Intergenerational connection is one way advocates have identified to lessen loneliness and social isolation, especially since over the last century, the U.S. has become age-segregated, making relationships between unrelated younger and older adults nearly unheard of.

To bridge that gap, Confidence Omenai and Haley Sanner founded Collective Healing Through Art, which brings younger and older adults together to create art and heal trauma. The organization set out to “disrupt the harm that was occurring to BIPOC and Queer youth and older adults in their Denver community.”

Currently, Collective Healing Through Art is working with young adults from the Boys & Girls Clubs and older adults from a few neighborhoods in Denver.

“We have a specific curriculum, and it allows them to build a bond together and to share at will, as they’re creating, what their experience has been,” said Omenai. “We watch them form bonds and become friends and become family.”

Earlier this year, Collective

Healing became a program of LinkAGES, which works with various organizations in metro Denver to make intergenerational programming the norm. LinkAGES helps build capacity, facilitate collaborations and raise awareness of the power of intergenerational connections.

The programming LinkAGES organizes goes beyond just getting people of a different generation in a room together. It’s all about intention, said Rachel Cohen, executive director of LinkAGES.

“When we say intentional, it means that we design programs specifically to facilitate a connection,” Cohen said. “And the programs are always multisession because relationships and connections take time. It takes time for people to open up, especially when you’re dealing with loneliness and social isolation.”

LinkAGES is continuing to grow and will start working with organizations outside of Denver to offer best practices and training.

With increased awareness, organizations that are centered on creating solutions, and a national strategy, there’s optimism for a less lonely and isolated future for everyone.

“I’m hopeful, but I hope it’s not something that’s fleeting—that it’s popular now and then people are going to forget about this and forget about older adults and forget about those that are isolated,” said Perissinotto. “I think there’s a lot of work still ahead.”

CU Denver teacher prep program wins state approval

tive prep program o ered through East Central BOCES. Both programs were reauthorized on their rst try.

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

e University of Colorado Denver has won full state approval for three teacher preparation program tracks after addressing problems in how it trains aspiring educators to teach children to read.

e State Board of Education unanimously voted to reauthorize the elementary education, special education, and early childhood education programs nearly a year after granting only partial approval because of weaknesses in reading coursework.

State o cials praised the university for improvements that ensure aspiring teachers understand and can apply key components of science-based reading instruction and don’t receive con icting information about how to teach reading.

e decision, which came in June, is the latest step in an ongoing state e ort to hold Colorado’s teacher preparation programs accountable for properly training future educators how to teach reading. e state began cracking down on teacher prep programs — speci cally their

approach to reading instruction — in 2018 as part of a broader push by lawmakers, state education o cials, and parents of children with dyslexia to get more students reading at grade level.

e state’s outgoing education commissioner Katy Anthes received praise for leading the push for more oversight of reading instruction in teacher prep programs.
