MY NAME IS

LINH LY

Barber, not a hairstylist; daughter of Vietnamese refugees Razor sharp I’ve been a barber for six years. Most of my family members are barbers, too — my mom, my brothers and my cousins are all barbers. I like making people look good and giving them confidence.

I started cutting hair when I was 26. I went to school for graphic design, but it didn’t really pan out, so I said I might as well just cut hair.

Being a barber and a hairstylist are two different things.

Hairstylists primarily do women’s hair. Barbers, though, also have a state license to use a straight razor to do shaves.

Shaving with a straight razor requires knowledge of skin types and hair growth patterns.

When I started with a straight razor, it was scary. I never knew if I’d cut somebody.

But it’s an experience — you get steamed towels and a great shave.

Daughter of refugees My family were refugees

Linh Ly’s parents were refugees from the Vietnam War. Today she’s a barber, like much of her family. DAVID GILBERT

from Vietnam during the war.

They arrived by boat after very traumatic experiences.

I’m very proud of them. They went through a lot. When they came here, they didn’t know English. They taught themselves how to live in America.

My dad is a cook — he primarily does Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food. My favorite Vietnamese food is pho soup. All the best pho restaurants are on Federal Boulevard, in the Little Saigon part of town.

I’ve never been to Vietnam, but I’d love to go. I have a lot of family there.

Wedding bells I’m getting married in September. My fiance is a network engineer at Comcast. We met on Tinder, believe it or not.

He wants like five or six kids, I only want one or two. I told him let’s see how we feel after the first one.

I want to teach my kids to speak Vietnamese and how to cook the food. I definitely want them to have Vietnamese names. I’m proud of my heritage and I want to keep it alive.

Officials ramp up calls to replace jail, courthouse Voters could be asked to fund project for nearly $1 billion

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe County officials are ramping up their calls for new jail and courthouse facilities, hoping to ask voters as soon as this fall to approve funding for a nearly billiondollar plan to replace buildings they say are increasingly crowded, dangerous and worn out.

“We’re pushing our current jail facility to its limits,” said Arapahoe County Sheriff TyBrown ler Brown in a virtual tour of the jail posted to Facebook on June 19. “The jail is crowded. Space is tight. The stress on everyone is building. It’s like a pressure cooker.”

The video is among the prongs in an outreach campaign by Brown, the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office and the Arapahoe County commissioners to build support for an eight-year plan to replace the jail and courthouse, which will include town hall meetings and jail tours.

A long-range planning committee consisting of 25 citizens, convened in May by county commissioners to study the proposal, is expected to issue a report with recommendations in August.

In the jailhouse now Assaults at the jail are at an all-time high, Brown said.

Inmate-on-inmate assaults are up 48% in the last three years, with a total of 86 in 2018, said Vince Line, the bureau chief of detention services for the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office in a February interview. Inmate-onstaff assaults are up 118% in the same period, Line said, with 24 in 2018.

The jail, built in 1986 and located on South Potomac Street near Centennial Airport, was originally designed to house 386 inmates, Line said. Expansions brought the current maximum inmate capacity to 1,458 — thanks in large part to cells designed to house one inmate that now house three.

More than half of the jail’s inmates have not been convicted of a crime, Line said, with many awaiting hearings or trials or unable to afford bail.

Though the jail has four times the inmate capacity it was originally built for, its kitchen, laundry and infirmary are no bigger, with each stretched to the limit and unable to expand due to their location in the heart of the jail, Line said.

The jail is also poorly equipped to hold an increasing array of classes and programs meant to prepare inmates to reintegrate into society, Line said, including mental health and substance abuse treatment, and educational programs.

“Around 90% of folks in custody

will return to our community,” Line said. “The more we can do to keep them from committing more crimes is better for them, better for the facility, and makes us safer as a community.”

Line recently had to turn down additional state funding earmarked for increased behavioral health services, he said, because the jail simply does not have the space for added progamming capacity.

“The best answer I can give,” Line said, “is we need more space and we need more resources.”

If you build it Rather than continue trying to retrofit the current facility, Line said, the county would be best served by building an all-new facility on 11 acres of vacant land the county owns immediately adjacent to the current facility.

Current plans call for the new jail to have a maximum inmate capacity

Paying the price Among the biggest hurdles to selling the public on the plan will be the price tag, Line said. Current plans estimate the cost of a new jail at nearly $463 million, and the cost of a new courthouse and district attorney’s facilities at nearly $465 million.

functions like the kitchen, booking area or infirmary.

“If we spend a considerable amount of money to reutilize the current facility, does it get us even 15 years into the future?” Line said.

The plan also calls for an eventual replacement of much of the adjacent courthouse and district attorney’s facilities as well, which county officials say are increasingly overcrowded and overbooked.

of 1,612, Line said, an increase of 154 over the current facility. The facility would be designed for a 40-year lifespan before expansion became necessary, he said.

Though the increase may not sound like much, Line said, the difference would be a reduction in overcrowded cells and more programming space.

The jail would be built to more easily allow for expansion of housing and other functions in coming decades if necessary.

Retrofitting the current facility would be enormously difficult, Line said, because much of the core infrastructure is worn out or inaccessible in subterranean tunnels that have filled with sediment, construction would require shutting down large sections of the jail at a time with few places to move inmates, and the jail’s hub-and-spoke layout means there’s effectively no room to expand core

Affidavit: Teen says other STEM suspect threatened him Suspects used cocaine, set car on fire before attack, document says

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Suspects in the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting said they used cocaine, set a car on fire and broke into a safe holding guns with an ax in the hours leading up to the attack, according to a court document in the case released June 20.

The arrest affidavit in the case of Devon Erickson, 18, also shows he told investigators that his co-defendant in the murder case, Alec McKinney, 16, repeatedly threatened his life and forced him to assist in the shooting. McKinney wanted to target specific students at the school, he told investigators.

The May 7 shooting left one student, Kendrick Castillo, dead and eight others wounded. Court records made available online before hearings last month showed each suspect faced 48 charges, including first-degree murder. They will each be back in court in the fall — Erickson in September and McKinney in November.

Formal charges against Erickson released June 20 include conspiracy to commit murder, arson, providing a juvenile a handgun, burglary and theft, among others.

Law enforcement personnel secure the campus at STEM School Highlands Ranch after a shooting left one student dead and eight wounded on May 7.

FILE PHOTO The affidavit highlights interviews with the suspects, both STEM students, from the day of the shooting. Their accounts are similar, but vary on certain points. It says they used cocaine before the attack, targeted specific students, stole their guns from Erickson’s parents and smuggled them into the school with a guitar case and backpacks.

Erickson’s account The following is what Erickson told investigators, according to the affidavit: He said he received a message on Snapchat the night before the shooting telling him not to go to school tomor-

row. The Snapchat contact said he was “super suicidal” and “wanted to get revenge on a lot of people,” the document says. The individual was considering killing his mother and siblings as well.

The name is redacted, or blacked out, but it appears to be describing McKinney.

Erickson told investigators he tried talking the friend out of his plans, but the friend threated to kill him if he told anyone.

The next day, the morning of the shooting, he went to school but left twice. The first time he went home with a friend to let his dog out. He said his parents were not home. He returned to school to receive class attendance credit and left again, this time, he says, to call the police.

As he got home, he received a message from a person, whose name is again redacted but appears to be McKinney, asking him to pick him up from school.

He picked the individual up and took him to his house, where they spent time in the basement. The friend was angry and used cocaine. Erickson said he did not use the drug at that time.

Later, he says the two went upstairs and the friend asked where his parents’ safe was. Both knew it contained firearms. He showed the friend and attempted to leave the room but was again threated with his life, he told authorities. The friend then used an ax to break into the safe and allegedly forced Erickson to help.

The friend, according to Erickson, loaded ammunition into magazines obtained from the safe. They both loaded bags with firearms — three handguns and a rifle — and ammunition and went back to the basement, where they each consumed cocaine.

He helped the friend carry and load weapons into the car. The two drove back to school in a Honda Civic.

Erickson took his guitar case holding firearms to classroom 107. He told his teacher he was sick and was sent to the office. He said he intended to report the incident but had a panic attack and went to the bathroom until he composed himself.

When he returned to the office, the other suspect was waiting for him and again allegedly threatened to kill him and others if he said anything.

Security guard’s bullet wounded student, document says

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A court document in the case against one STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting suspect released June 20 shows a private security guard at the school is believed to have fired gunshots at a responding officer and injured a female student.

The document, an affidavit, also shows the guard confronted one of the suspects, 16-year-old Alec McKinney, at gunpoint and was able to place him in handcuffs.

A school resource officer was not assigned to STEM at the time of the May 7 shooting. A private security guard from BOSS High Level Protection covered the school. He is not identified by name in the affidavit, which says other officers reported he fired two rounds at Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Lt. Lori Bronner, injuring a student in a nearby classroom. The student was located in room 106 and the suspects opened fire in room 107.

Bronner is the sheriff ’s office spokeswoman for the school resource officer program. The affidavit mis-

spells her name as “Laurie” but a separate spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office confirmed the lieutenant was Lori Bronner.

The guard told investigators that before firing his weapon he saw “a muzzle come around the corner,” a likely reference to one of the responding officers’ guns.

Following the shooting, reports that the guard fired his weapon at other first responders and injured a student surfaced, leading 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler to forward an investigation into the allegations to 4th Judicial District Attorney Dan May in Colorado Springs.

A spokesperson for the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said the office had no updates when asked if the investigation was ongoing and if charges had been brought against the guard. The spokesperson did not know when a decision would be made.

In the days after the shooting, the guard’s employer lauded him for helping save lives by detaining a suspect until law enforcement took the teen into custody.

Sen. Gardner hears from local business owners Senator faces re-election battle next year

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner heard from business owners and local elected officials who told the lawmaker to make sure the federal government works in citizens’ favor.

Gardner’s tour in downtown Littleton on June 17 started at Dirt Coffee, where founder Lauren Burgess told the senator that Medicaid is vital for the shop’s employees, who are primarily on the autism spectrum or have other intellectual or developmental disabilities.

“Disability is the only minority group that any of us can join,” Burgess told Gardner. “Our world is all about Medicaid.”

Gardner did not respond at length to Burgess, but thanked her for her support for people with disabilities.

Gardner’s next stop was Bradford Auto Body, where owner Mickey Kempf told the senator he’d like to see humanity return to Washington.

“Think about what you can do for people, not just Republicans or Democrats,” Kempf said. “Think about how you can work to make sure people are safe and secure.”

Kempf said nearly two-thirds of his shop’s business is repairing hail dam-

“Climate change is real, and we have to address it without destroying the economy,” Gardner said when asked about Kempf ’s observation.

Further along Main Street at The Chocolate Therapist, owner Julie Nygard told Gardner her business is feeling the pinch of higher minimum wages.

Colorado’s minimum wage, which

DAVID GILBERT

went from $10.20 an hour to $11.10 an hour on Jan. 1, will cost Nygard an additional $15,000 a year, she said, which she’s afraid will wind up passed on to customers.

“I’d like to see tax incentives to offset minimum wage increases,” Nygard said.

Gardner said he hopes to create taxfree savings accounts that small businesses can use to reinvest in themselves, and streamline the process for small business loans.

During a roundtable discussion at Town Hall Arts Center, Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman said she’d like to see the federal government simplify and speed up the process to address transportation projects.

“Nobody wants to go for federal money because we know it means more strings and more slowdown,” Brinkman said of highway expansion projects in the area. “But we have to, because we don’t have the money.”

Gardner touted a variety of bills during the roundtable, including efforts to increase participation in STEM education and career and technical education.

Gardner, who faces a slew of Democratic challengers in his 2020 reelection bid, said he remains optimistic he can win Arapahoe County, which he lost by 2 percentage points in 2014 and which voted out several high-profile Republican incumbent county officials in last fall’s election.

Colorado has a history of split votes, Gardner said, saying he won his Senate seat the same year Democrat John Hickenlooper was reelected as governor.

“There seems to be an idea that when Democrats win it’s permanent, and when Republicans win it’s temporary, and I just don’t believe that,” Gardner said. “This is a state that sends people of either party to office because they believe they’ll work for them.”

Age in Place with a Reverse Mortgage “I’ve lived in my home for over 30 years.

I didn’t want to leave it, and go where I didn’t know the neighbors. A reverse mortgage allowed me to have the security of staying in my home without a mortgage payment. What a relief!” KS, Denver Aging in place is a benefit to many seniors. The ability to maintain the familiarity with the neighborhood, and routine of life can reduce stress and add years.

For many seniors who are living longer, the question is, “How do I fund my longevity?” Spouses are thinking about what will happen when one of them passes away. Will the surviving spouse be able to stay in the home comfortably? The answer is often “Yes!” when a reverse mortgage has been put in place to ensure there is no mortgage payment and often, a sum of money available to the surviving spouse.

The bank never owns the home and the property may be willed to the heirs.

Because a reverse mortgage is FHA insured, it is a non-recourse loan. No one is saddled with debt because of the reverse

mortgage. As a financial tool, a reverse mortgage is a wise choice in many cases providing relief from financial pressure in the near-term, and greater financial security in the long-term.

“A reverse mortgage is basically a tax-free advance on your home equity,” writes Robert Massi. “For some people, a reverse mortgage can offer financial freedom to enjoy their later years without worrying about income. For others, it can provide much needed help for staying in their homes.” The money from a reverse mortgage can be used for any purpose.

For those with dementia, friendship is a powerful medicine Littleton-based group offers love, camaraderie

GET OUT & ABOUT Out & About Colorado offers day-long outings for people with early-stage dementia. Clients are picked up at home in the morning and dropped off in the afternoon. Activities include hikes, dining in restaurants, or visiting museums or sporting events.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

erry Schaak boasts an impressive resume.

Schaak, 63, holds a Ph.D from Yale University, with post-doctoral work at Princeton. As a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, he contributed to dozens of studies of cancer and viruses.

When the father of two college-age girls was hit in the back of the head with a baseball in 2013, he seemed to come away unscathed. But as the months went by, it became clear his memory was going. In 2014, he was diagnosed with dementia.

Now, with his career over and his ability to complete a thought or a sentence continuing to slip from him, Schaak’s brilliant mind has left him with some elements of his old life: memories of his childhood in the Grand Canyon with his father, a park ranger; his love for his wife and daughters; and an easy smile and laugh.

On a warm June morning, Schaak sat in the sun-dappled garden of Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery, sharing coffee and muffins with others living with early-onset dementia.

“It’s great just getting to talk,” Schaak said. “This is glorious.”

Schaak is one of 20 or so clients of Out & About Colorado, a Littletonbased group that provides outings and socializing activities for people in the earlier stages of dementia.

A deepening cycle Early-onset dementia can be devastating, said Mary Archer, the founder and owner of Out & About Colorado.

“There’s a cycle that happens,” Archer said. “You’re diagnosed, you probably lose your job and driver’s license, you lose connections to colleagues and friends, and you lose the feeling of productivity and providing for your family.”

The cycle only deepens, Archer said, as victims often wind up home alone most days, isolated and confused.

They begin to feel unable to have conversations, worsening as friends stop visiting, scared of uncomfortable situations.

That’s where Out & About Colorado comes in.

Archer and her team take groups of up to six people on outings, visiting museums, gardens and art galleries, going for walks in the park or out to lunch.

“The benefit is twofold,” Archer said. “The clients benefit, and so do their families. Their care partner at home gets respite, knowing their loved one is enjoying themselves. Caring for someone with dementia can be a 24/7 job.”

When clients return home, Archer said, it’s often with renewed vigor.

“We’ve given them an opportunity to have conversation. They have a story

Clients typically attend one outing a week.

Each outing costs $150, with discount rates available. Some long-term care insurance plans cover outing costs.

Out & About Colorado also offers support groups and other programs for family members of people with dementia.

The group collects donations to help cover the cost of outings through its website.

Visit outandaboutcolorado.org for more information, or call 720-398-8945.

Jerry Schaak, a former professor of immunology, described his outings with Out & About Colorado as “glorious.”

They’re more alert.”

Schaak was joined at the Depot Art Gallery by other Out & About clients, like Lynn Salvatore, 72, a former hairstylist.

“When I was diagnosed with dementia, I was furious,” Salvatore said. “I’m a very strong woman, but my strength meant nothing. I felt like I wasn’t anything anymore.”

But at Out & About Colorado, Salvatore said, she finds camaraderie and love.

“When I was working, I loved people,” Salvatore said. “My clients were great friends. I lost so much. Here I can have people around me again.”

Difficult diagnosis Early-onset dementia often takes a long time to diagnose, because those afflicted may not even think it’s a possibility, Archer said.

“They might think they’re just overtired, that they need a vacation,” Archer said.

She had one client, a man in his 50s, who couldn’t understand why he got fired from five jobs in the span of a year, before he was diagnosed.

Dementia is an umbrella term that covers several disorders, Archer said.

Some, like Alzheimer’s disease, are poorly understood — and ultimately fatal. Other forms have a strong hereditary component or are linked to

head trauma. But prolonged, untreated depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as poor diet and lack of exercise, can also be contributing factors.

All forms of dementia can shorten victims’ lifespans, she said.

“I know everybody in my care has a limited number of days ahead of them,” Archer said. “I’ll help them make the most of these years.”

Archer’s clients have lessons to teach her too, she said.

“They live in the moment,” Archer said. “They don’t live in the past much anymore, and they sure don’t live in the future. It’s about what they’re experiencing right now.”

‘A shining light’ Archer, who holds a degree in sociology and a certificate in gerontology from the University of California, worked for years with seniors in nursing homes and adult day care, she said.

“I kept noticing younger people coming into programs for older people,” Archer said. “I wanted to create something for those people who didn’t perhaps feel as comfortable hanging out with folks much older than them.”

Now in its fifth year, Out & About Colorado has four staff members, and continues to expand its offerings, including support groups for family members — even if their loved ones aren’t clients.

Family members of people with dementia often suffer in silence, Archer said.

“Caring for someone with dementia can be tremendously expensive,” Archer said. “Especially if they were the family breadwinner. Friends and family stop coming around. Spouses talk about social isolation — nobody invites you places if your partner has Alzheimer’s.”

Out & About Colorado is a godsend to Nancy Litvak, whose husband Gary Sindler is one of Archer’s clients.

“He has so much fun with all his buddies,” Litvak said. “Men in general don’t have boyfriends like women have girlfriends. It’s so healthy for him. It’s been such a shining light for us.”

Cold, wet weather delays farm produce, growers say Farmers market offerings are slim by normal June standards

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s wet spring may be good news for the state’s drought outlook, but it also means delays for the state’s produce, said growers at the Aspen Grove Farmers Market on June 19.

“It’s a late season this year, and people need to be patient,” said Daniel Dukic of Forte Farms in Palisade, on Colorado’s Western Slope. “We just now got cherries. We should see the first peaches by the end of June.”

On the plus side, Duckic said, the extra moisture — Colorado saw more rain by June this year than in all of 2018, according to the National Weather Service — means this year’s Western Slope peach harvest should be a big one.

It’s not just Colorado seeing delays, said OLN Markets manager Jeremy Becker.

First day of summer: gloomy and gray Longest day of year darkened by clouds and rain

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

ummer 2019 officially began on June 21, but you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for a blustery day in March.

With a high in the 60s and in-

termittent showers all day, the solstice was in keeping with one of the wettest years Colorado has seen this century.

The clouds came with a silver lining for some, though.

At Englewood’s Broken Tee golf course, golf coach Kirk Trowbridge had plenty of room as he worked with student Beck Duncan on the driving range.

“This is great,” Trowbridge said of the gloomy skies. “It’s quiet. If it was sunny, this place would be packed.”

Canada geese hang out beside a raging South Platte River at Englewood’s River Run Park.

The two went to classroom 107 and split up, entering through two different doors.

Erickson said he walked straight toward someone to warn that person, but the individual wasn’t paying attention and his friend was watching him.

He went back to the doorway, when he saw McKinney reach for a gun. He then grabbed a handgun from his guitar case, pointed it straight and yelled at everyone to get down.

Erickson said two students rushed him and hit him, and the gun went off in the skirmish. As they brought him down, he released his gun and began trying to warn others that his friend was also armed and planned to kill people.

He heard more gunshots and described being in shock.

“Devon repeatedly claimed he was going to stop (redacted) but couldn’t articulate how or why he never told an adult,” the affidavit says.

Erickson allowed detectives to search his phone, provided them security credentials and signed a waiver. Toward the end of his interview, “Devon was having difficulty describing how he tried stopping (redacted),” and he requested an attorney.

McKinney’s account McKinney told investigators he wants to transition from female to male. In court, McKinney’s attorneys say he prefers male pronouns and goes by the name Alec, although court documents refer to him by his legal name of Maya.

As a minor, his name is redacted in the affidavit. Colorado Community Media is identifying McKinney because District Attorney George Brauchler has decided to prosecute the teen as an adult.

McKinney was interviewed by a separate investigator. Here is his account of the shooting, according to the affidavit: McKinney was planning a school shooting for weeks and got Erickson involved in the plan.

He “wanted kids at the school to experience bad things, have to suffer from trauma like he has had to in his life. He wanted everyone in that school to suffer and realize that the world is a bad place,” the affidavit says.

He said he targeted fellow students who made fun of him and called him disgusting for wanting to transition from female to male. He wanted to specifically kill kids who had called him names and broken his laptop.

He confirmed speaking with Erickson by Snapchat the night before to discuss his plan and says he “trashed” the house looking for a key to the safe but instead found an ax and crowbar.

He said he threatened Erickson

with the ax, acting as if he was going to hit him with it.

He wrote in the closet where the safe was held “the voices win” and spray-painted Erickson’s mother’s car in the garage.

They then set it on fire. The fire burned out and they left.

He stated they knew they could get through the middle school entrance of the K-12 charter school without being checked. He knew students he didn’t like would be in in the classroom they targeted.

Erickson was also a student in the class.

They entered the classroom from different doors. He said Erickson shut the door in a way as to prevent it from being opened from the outside. They each pulled out their guns and said, “Nobody move.”

McKinney said Erickson fired the first shot and then he began firing.

McKinney emptied two guns, was confronted by students and a teacher but escaped and left the room. He planned to kill himself outside the school but didn’t know how to work the third gun he obtained.

He was then confronted by the armed security guard at gunpoint and complied with the guard’s orders to get on the ground.

McKinney told investigators he has experienced suicidal and homicidal thoughts since he was 12, “and more recently in the last few weeks when he planned the school shooting.”

Area Walmart, Sam’s stores kick off fundraising Campaign to benefit Children’s Miracle Network hospitals STAFF REPORT

All Denver Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs have kicked off their Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraising campaign to help treat local children who are sick or injured.

All money raised during the Denver campaign directly benefits Children’s Hospital Colorado to fund critical treatments, pediatric medical equipment, research and charitable care.

The Walmart and Sam’s Club campaign runs through July 7.

“Our associates take so much pride in raising money for this cause. Each year we sincerely enjoy assisting with this effort,” Lakewood store manager William Roberts said in a news release.

To date, Walmart and Sam’s Club associates, members and customers in Denver have raised $15.1 million for Children’s Hospital Colorado, most of it one dollar at a time. On a national level, Walmart and Sam’s Club have raised more than $1 billion for CMN Hospitals, the largest cash amount ever raised by one company for a nonprofit in North America, according to the news release.

The need is staggering — 62 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network hospital for treatment every minute, the release said.

To participate, shoppers can donate $1 or more at the checkout lane or self-checkout of any Colorado Walmart store or Sam’s Club and spread the word about the campaign via social media with the hashtag #HelpKidsLiveBetter.

17 county jails receive funding for opioid treatment State awarding nearly $1.9 million in funds for medication-assisted treatment STAFF REPORT

The Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health has awarded funding to 17 county jails to continue or initiate medication-assisted treatment for people with opioid-use disorder.

According to a news release, the state is awarding nearly $1.9 mil-

The county would do well to get started sooner than later, Line said, as the Denver area’s economic and population booms are sending construction costs ever higher.

Former Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson, who sits on the long-range planning committee, said he’s frustrated it’s taken this long to realistically talk about

FUNDED COUNTIES The 17 counties being funded and dollar amounts are as follows:

Conejos, $60,000

Fremont, $150,000

Garfield, $100,000

replacing the jail.

“This isn’t news,” Robinson said of concerns over the jail’s functionality. “This has been discussed ad nauseum. The question that needs to be asked of elected officials, and contemplated before this goes to the public, is what took people so long? I know they say it wasn’t the right time or environment to ask for money, but the need has exacerbated and the cost to solve it has expanded dramatically.”

Part of the problem was delays caused by the Great Recession, said

Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners Chairman Jeff Baker.

“Grayson’s got a point,” Baker said.

“But a lot of governments struggled in that period. We deferred a lot of maintenance. The public was going through hard times too, and it wasn’t the right time to approach them for big-ticket items.”

County staff have done an admirable job of keeping the current jail running, Baker said, but past a certain point it stops making sense to keep throwing money at a failing facility.

“Both the jail and courthouse were

“In Colorado we continue to increase the availability of MAT services statewide for those who need it, including treatment for people who are incarcerated, in many cases as a result of their addiction,” Robert Werthwein, director of the Office of Behavioral Health, said in the release. “We know that the risk of opioid overdose drastically increases after a period of abstinence such as incarceration, and intervening at this juncture is key to our efforts to reduce overdoses.”

built to the best practices and standards of the 1980s,” Baker said. “With new facilities, we could incorporate much more effective safety and security protocols, and the buildings could be far more energy efficient.”

The current jail accounts for a fifth of the county maintenance budget, Baker said.

County commissioners are also aggressively seeking out potential state and federal grants to offset the cost of a new jail, Baker said.

“We owe it to the public to spend their money wisely,” Baker said.

Grants support reality experiences, bat monitoring STAFF REPORT

A Colorado Parks and Wildlife pilot program that uses mobile technology to connect visitors to parks, and a research project related to monitoring bat populations in state parks were awarded grants from Great Outdoors Colorado.

GOCO awarded $17,982 to the Augmented Reality Experience pilot program, which will invest in Agents of Discovery, a free mobilebased game already used in more than 50 U.S. Forest Service areas and numerous parks internationally, according to a news release.

The grant is part of the Director’s Innovation Fund, a partnership between Great Outdoors Colorado and Colorado Parks and Wildlife to create a funding source for onetime, innovative projects that would not otherwise receive funding from either organization.

Almost every Colorado state park has interpretive signage or offers educational programming to help connect visitors to the natural resources and histories of the places.

While fixed interpretive signage continues to be an important storytelling resource in parks, relevance can be limited by season or changing messages over time, the release says.

By creating and implementing this AR program, state parks will be able to provide more timely information about what is happening in the parks and create more relevant experiences for visitors, and the program provides an opportunity to reach broader and more diverse audiences, according to the release.

In addition, the project provides an opportunity to create experiences that encourage responsible outdoor behaviors and habits, inspiring stewardship of sites visited. The 10 parks selected for the program are Barr Lake State Park, Chatfield State Park, Eleven Mile State Park, Cherry Creek State Park, Staunton State Park, St. Vrain State Park, Trinidad Lake State Park, Cheyenne Mountain State Park, Ridgway State

after being released from prison, former inmates were 40 times more likely to die of an opioid overdose than others, the release said. When looking at heroin-specific overdoses in the same population, the study found that formerly incarcerated individuals’ likelihood of overdose

Park and Steamboat Lake State Park.

The Bat Acoustic Monitoring program received $7,234. Bats are important to Colorado’s ecosystems, helping control insect populations, according to the release. However, very little data exists on their presence and habitat use in state parks. With the grant, mobile and stationary data collection units will be created to monitor the elusive creatures’ behavior, roosting, and hibernation patterns.

Park visitors will be invited to participate in the data collection process. With the help of a batnaturalist volunteer, visitors will be provided with ultrasonic microphones that pair with a smartphone app, along with instructions needed to observe and document bats in a mobile fashion. Stationary units use a professional-grade ultrasonic recorder to detect bat acoustic activity.

The grant is part of the Resource Stewardship Program, which is responsible for inventory, planning, and management advice for all natural and cultural resources in Colorado’s state parks. The BAM project represents a partnership with wildlife biologists, education sections, and multiple wildlife areas and state parks, including Chatfield State Park, Cheyenne Mountain State Park, Lake Pueblo State Park, Ridgway State Park, Staunton State Park and Steamboat Lake State Park.

Great Outdoors Colorado invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state’s parks, trails, wildlife, rivers, and open spaces. GOCO’s independent board awards competitive grants to local governments and land trusts, and makes investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Created when voters approved a constitutional amendment in 1992, GOCO has since funded more than 5,200 projects in urban and rural areas in all 64 counties without any tax dollar support. Visit GOCO.org for information.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY

CONVERSATIONS Planning our future together

Arapahoe County needs your input Arapahoe County is one of the fastest growing counties in Colorado. And why wouldn’t it be? Our cities and communities feature some of the best quality of life our state has to offer.

But accommodating that success, and the growth it brings with it, requires careful analysis of our current situation and a focus on what’s best for all our residents going forward. It means planning our future together.

DID YOU KNOW?

Only 15% of the property taxes you pay stay with the county to provide more than 240 services. The rest goes to schools, cities and towns and special districts.

JOIN US

A group of county residents are learning more about the county budget and helping to set county priorities for the future. See what they are learning and lend your voice to the conversation at arapahoegov.com/ countyconversations.

OUR PRIORITIES

About 28% of Arapahoe County roads are in poor or very poor condition. We know that it is 10 times more expensive to fix roads and bridges after they have deteriorated than keeping them well maintained.

That’s why investing in transportation is a priority for the county.

OUR FUTURE

The Arapahoe County Justice Center, including the county courthouse and the county jail, needs to be replaced with modern, safe facilities. The county has a master plan to create the facilities needed to improve public safety. Learn more: arapahoegov.com/ countyconversations

death increased to 74 times the norm within the first two weeks after release, the release said.

The Office of Behavioral Health is providing the funding through the State Opioid Response Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and thanks to recently passed legislation (SB 19-008), Colorado has ensured this funding can continue even after the grant is over.

The Arapahoe County Fair, running July 25 through July 28, needs hundreds of volunteers to be a success. You can help – and receive free parking and fair admission on the day of your shift. Visit Arapahoecountyfair.com or contact nduvan@arapahoegov.com or 303-738-7938.

Concentrated innuendo brings about maximum effectiveness

S

ix words may not seem like a lot, but think of the evocations of “I love you. Or do I?” You have a story, complete with conflict.

Entries in the sixword story contest came from California, Illinois, Ohio, and Colorado. From a well-known, local Craig Marshall radio voice. From an Smith 80-year old, former high school English teacher, and from a 17-year-old aspiring writer.

I received entries from two notable Colorado artists, and one each from a

QUIET DESPERATION

husband and wife.

Many of the stories were straightforward, a few were oblique, some were witty.

Here are the best ones.

Gretchen Goetz (Santa Monica), submitted, “We have five. Will bring them.” There was no explanation.

It reminded me of the cryptic title of a Jack Nicholson film. If you have ever wondered what “Five Easy Pieces” means, it refers to the title on a piano recital program that appeared in a scene that was cut.

My high school English teacher, Sharene Schmalz (Cincinnati) sent, “Bunnies lost to the cat today.”

I replied, “After 80 glorious years of Chaucer, Dostoevsky, Faulkner, and Shirley MacLaine, you send a story about tiny field animals being con-

fronted and consumed by a feral cat?”

“Yes.” Anne McWhite (Arvada) wrote, “Climate change solutions: do or die.”

Art McWhite (Arvada) wrote, “Big bang collapse: all’s said done.”

One of my favorites brought a smile with it: “Why do I read your column!” was written by Parker’s Pete Miller. It wasn’t a question, exactly. It seemed like an exasperation.

Painter Amy Metier (Boulder) wrote a six-word mystery: “If your evil twin wants to.”

You might recognize the name Scott Arbough (Castle Rock), who entered a bit of existentialism: “Where you are, there you are.”

Stanley Gould (Castle Rock) took the opportunity to pitch his new “platform for finding and building local

communities.”

After “Knowledge Power. Get Knowledge. Get Power,” he added a few hundred additional words about his project.

The most unusual entry was submitted by Ken Faig Jr. (Glenview, Illinois).

It consisted of six mathematical symbols that translate to, “Not no one equals some one.”

Laura H. (Arvada), “Cheap land: Pele erupts, owners burned.”

Kendle Frank (Parker), 17, “Be brave. Contact my restless heart.”

Brett Ganyard (Aurora), “American flags continually at half staff.”

Bill Hines (Highlands Ranch) might have read the news the day he wrote: “Took a hike. Lost at night.”

For some of us, conflicts are no issue at all. We take them on and deal with whatever it is so we can get past it and move on. For others, conflict is really hard. For those of us who have wrestled with conflict, over time we tend to become conflict avoidant. We will do anything to try and avoid a conflict or we will prolong it until it becomes so bad, we are finally forced to face it. And that never ends well.

or hope that it will just go away.

This strategy typically never works — as a matter of fact, the longer we wait, the worse things usually become.

Some of the best coaching I ever received around this came many years ago. I was encouraged to do the hardest thing first. On any given day, whatever the hardest task or conversation I had to do or have, I should tackle those first.

This was great advice and has helped me tremendously over the years. If I didn’t tackle the hard things first, they would occupy my time and I couldn’t focus on the other things I had to do as the hardest ones were still there, creating worry, fear, and doubt in my heart and head. As soon as I got past the hard conversation or difficult task, and any conflict, I was free, mentally and emotionally, and much more productive.

In order to address conflicts and do the hardest things first, we must have courage and conviction.

10 ways to love your brain STAFFREPORT

his June, during Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, the Alzheimer’s Association is hoping to raise awareness of this devastating disease by sharing 10 ways to love your brain.

Nearly 6 million people in the United States, including 73,000 Coloradans, are living with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a news release. The sixth-leading cause of death and the only leading disease without a prevention, treatment or cure, Alzheimer’s kills more Americans every year than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

are stressed or unhappy about the way certain things are happening, and if we have been trying to avoid a conflict that has been brewing, all we need to do is find that 20 seconds of bravery that it takes to initiate a conversation and take action.

The hope is that the majority of our lives will be spent living conflict free.

Although there are a few people who thrive on conflict and like to even stir the pot a little to create conflict, most of us would prefer to avoid conflict and create harmony wherever we can. We each have a unique personality style and for some, dealing with conflict is easy, for other personality styles, it is much harder. And regardless of our personality style, the best way to deal with conflict is to have the courage and conviction to do what we know is right, rip the BandAid off, and deal with the hardest things first.

Matt Damon’s character Benjamin Mee said it best: “You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” And that “something great” could be just the thing we need to get past and through any conflict we are facing. That “something great” could be the freedom that we will enjoy from finally doing or saying what we know is true and right.

Follow your heart: Evidence shows that risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke — obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes — negatively impact your cognitive health.

Heads up: Brain injury can raise risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Wear a seat belt, use a helmet when playing contact sports or riding a bike, and take steps to prevent falls.

Fuel up right: Eat a healthy and balanced diet that is lower in fat and higher in vegetables and fruit to help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Although research on diet and cognitive function is limited, certain diets may contribute to risk reduction.

Catch some ZZZs: Not getting enough sleep due to conditions like insomnia or sleep apnea may result in problems with memory and thinking.

Take care of your mental health: Some studies link a history of depression with increased risk of cognitive decline, so seek medical treatment if you have symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental health concerns. Also, try to manage stress.

Stump yourself: Challenge and activate your mind. Build a piece of furniture. Complete a jigsaw puzzle. Do something artistic. Play games, such as bridge, that make you think strategically.

Challenging your mind may have shortand long-term benefits for your brain.

Buddy up: Staying socially engaged may support brain health. Pursue social activities that are meaningful. Find ways to be part of your community. If you love animals, consider volunteering at a local shelter. If you enjoy singing, join a local choir. Or share activities with friends and family.

‘Living history’ locomotive returns home after 12 years What’s on tap for the 60th anniversary

Rio Grande Southern Locomotive No. 20 pulls into its home at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden after undergoing restoration for 12 years at the Strasburg Rail Road in Pennsylvania to get it operational again. It returned to Golden on June 4 and the museum expects it to be fully operational sometime in 2020.

And just in time for Colorado Railroad Museum’s 60th anniversary

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rail fans from across the country are excited that an iconic Rio Grande Southern locomotive will soon be in operation again.

“It’s an important piece of railroad history, and to actually be able to operate it is really cool,” said Donald Tallman, executive director of the Colorado Railroad Museum. “It’s truly living history.”

Tallman is referring to the Rio Grande Southern Locomotive No. 20, which arrived home June 4 to the museum in Golden after undergoing restoration in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, for the past 12 years.

“It’s been a long time,” said Jeff Taylor, the museum’s curator of rolling stock and equipment. “There’s been a lot of hype about it coming home.”

Having Locomotive No. 20 is exciting enough on its own, Tallman said, but even more so because it arrived just in time for the Colorado Railroad Museum’s 60th anniversary celebration that runs July 12-14.

In the past six decades, the museum has “grown and flourished,” Tallman said. It attracts about 100,000 visitors annually and has more than 100 railcars in the collection — including now

The Rio Grande Southern Locomotive No. 20 was built in 1899 for the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad. It last ran in 1951, but thanks to recent restoration work done at the Strasburg Rail Road in Pennsylvania, the locomotive will be operational again sometime next year at its home at the Colorado Railroad Museum. the unique Locomotive No. 20.

A narrow-gauge engine built in 1899 for the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad, it was originally used by the mining industry and built to climb and navigate the winding and steep Phantom Canyon to and from Cripple Creek.

There were only five of its kind, Taylor said, and Locomotive No. 20 is the only one left — all the others have been scrapped for parts.

“The railroad was good at recycling,” Taylor said, adding that Locomotive No. 20 has parts that were original to the other four locomotives.

By the late 1930s, Locomotive No. 20 was serving tourists. But in 1949, it

became a movie star and played the role of Emma Sweeny, a locomotive in the film “A Ticket to Tomahawk.”

The last time Locomotive No. 20 ran was in November 1951, and it was sold at auction to the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club in 1952. The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club transferred ownership of the train to the Colorado Railroad Museum in 2006, and that year, an anonymous donor gave a donation to get it back to operational condition. The stipulation for the donation was that Locomotive No. 20 be rebuilt by the Strasburg Rail Road.

Strasburg Rail Road specializes in the steam engine, Tallman said.

Locomotive No. 20 returned to Golden with about 80 percent of the work done, Taylor said. The Strasburg Rail Road did the major work needed to certify it for federal standards.

That means if the Colorado Railroad

Museum chooses, it can take Locomotive No. 20 on tours to places outside of the museum once it’s operational, Taylor said.

Taylor and a team of about 15 will complete the rest of the work at the Colorado Railroad Museum. What is left is mostly cosmetic and “fine detail work,” Taylor said.

He expects Locomotive No. 20 to be operational sometime in 2020, but museum visitors are able to view it now as it’s being worked on in the museum’s shop, Taylor said.

Tallman noted that unlike many other railroad museums’ exihibits, which include artifacts from all over the country, the Colorado Railroad Museum is especially “unique because everything is focused on Colorado.

“The entire collection either ran within or through Colorado,” Tallman said. “That’s really special.”

‘He meant so much to this community’ Denver Broncos honor late owner Pat Bowlen

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Jan. 25, 1998, Littleton residents Sandy and David Alexander were sitting at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego as they witnessed the Denver Broncos win the franchise’s first Super Bowl. Following the game, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen handed over the Lombardi Trophy, awarded to Super Bowl winners, to quarterback John Elway, saying “This one is for John.”

Following the Broncos’ Super Bowl victory in 2016, Elway, now general manager and president of football operations for the team, held the Lombardi Trophy and said, “This one is for Pat.” Bowlen, who had been fighting Alzheimer’s disease, died on June 13 at the age of 75. On June 18, there was a free, open-house tribute at Broncos Stadium at Mile High.

More than 5,000 people came to the tribute to honor the life of Bowlen.

The team had artifacts on display, including Bowlen’s fur coat, the team’s Lombardi trophies, game balls and more.

Outside of football, Bowlen made significant contributions to the Den-

ver Boys & Girls Club and donated more than $35 million to charitable organizations in Denver since 1993.

“He was a real gentleman to everyone,” Sandy Alexander said. “We’ve been around the Broncos for years

and he was just an upstanding man, and it was hard to see what happened to him.”

Bowlen will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 3 along with former Denver Broncos player Champ Bailey.

“It feels like someone I had met died,” Denver resident Hugo Ramirez said. “He meant so much to this community and to this city.”

‘Colorado’s Historic Churches’ ready for summer reading Local writer shares photos, stories of state’s houses of worship

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They’re built from wood, brick, adobe, stone and combinations thereof and vary in size from small chapel to ones that seat many hundred parishioners. Many still function every Sunday and at other times their community needs them-for weddings, memorial services and an occasional concert or theatrical production.

Littleton writer, historian and Colorado native Linda Wommack, author of several books of Colorado history, has collected photographs and compiled notes from many of the state’s historic churches and published an account of them: “Colorado’s Historic Churches.”

It will be a nice addition to the Colorado bookshelf — or perhaps readers have a small collection of books they carry in the car as our family did when exploring the many historic mountain towns. It will be nice to step into these buildings, knowing something of their stories.

Mining camps spread across the state, followed in many cases by a railroad that brought other citizens to fill miner’s needs. In many cases,

after a town or mining camp was functioning, especially if there were women involved, some residents sensed that something was missing — a spiritual life. They started up small congregations, meeting in homes or public buildings at first, then led by a particular individual, a committee or a large congregation, found a vacant lot — or an individual would donate a lot in some cases, and/or lead the way in raising a building.

Many are still used by congregations, but not all.

Some had distinctive shapes and designs and many were constructed in what we call “Carpenter Gothic.” A familiar nearby example is St. Philip in the Field Church on Plum Creek in Douglas County, with its accompanying Bear Canon Cemetery, Wommack writes about builder Newton S. Grout, a New Englander inspired by churches of his youth. The congregation was formed in 1870 and the church and cemetery are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Also listed is Castle Rock’s St. Francis of Assisi Church, which eventually became the Old Stone Church Restaurant when its congregation moved on to a larger facility.

Chapters focus on areas The book is organized with a South Platte River Valley Chapter; Chapter Two is The Mountain Valleys; Chapter Three is The Arkansas River Valley and Chapter Four is The Rio Grande Valley.

Bishop Nicholas C. Matz helped build Catholic churches across the prairie as towns developed. Wommack writes of the severe weather on the eastern plains in Sterling, where hail demolished the timber Catholic church three times. Parishioners asked Matz to send a resident priest and a brick and stone church was dedicated in 1911, with 500 Catholics in attendance.

The arrival of the railroad in Colorado brought a number of Irish workers and the need for Matz to build a new Denver Catholic parish, built on five lots at the corner of Larimer and Machebeuf streets, located between trolley and rail tracks in the area now called Five Points In Denver, some large churches grew, such as Trinity Methodist Episcopal, designed by Denver’s first licensed architect, Robert S. Roeschlaub, which still stands out on Broadway. Zion Baptist, the first black congregation, at Ogden and 24th, has celebrated its 150th anniversary.

Wommack writes of Baby Doe Tabor’s connection with Denver’s Sacred Heart Church — and her husband Horace’s deathbed conversion as he lay ill at the Windsor Hotel. That church, supported for many years by Father Casey, became Denver’s first designated historic property by the city council in 1975. The Colorado Historical Society has helped in recent years toward further restoration of the fragile landmark.

In 1882, Temple Emanuel, the first Jewish synagogue, was built, designed by architect Frank E. Edbrooke, “including Moorish and Romanesque details,” the author says. Other major Denver churches followed.

Convent began in 1912 In Littleton, the Carmelite Convent was established in 1912, beginning with the wedding of Jacques B. Benedict and June Brown, who bought an old red brick farm house and began renovations, transforming it into a

“Beaux Art-Arts Villa of sorts.” (He also designed Littleton’s Town Hall, Carnegie Library and First Presbyterian Church.) Benedict hired artisans to paint frescos on several walls and hired landscape architect S.R. DeBoer to design the grounds.

The couple lived in the Benedict House for 35 years, and after the Benedict’s death, it was given to the Order of Carmelite Nuns, who live and worship there now. Improvements include a chapel, connected by a matching red brick arch.

In the plains, near Julesberg, is the Virginia Dale church, named after the wife of the “notorious Jack Slade.”

And in Boulder County, the First Baptist Church is the “finest example of Late Gothic Revival architecture in the state.

Central City, Georgetown, Silver Plume and Breckenridge all developed churches and in the Breckenridge area, the reader learns more about the legendary Methodist preacher Father John Lewis Dyer, who traveled through the many mining camps, sometimes on snowshoes, to preach to the residents. He caused confusion in Breckenridge by ringing the firemen’s bell to call folks to church … with permission of city officials.

Elsewhere in the western part of the state, one reads about Viejo San Acacio Chapel in Costilla County — one of Colorado’s oldest churches, and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Conejos, the first sanctioned Catholic Church in what would become the State of Colorado, where Father Machebeuf said his first Mass “before the dawn, by the light of pinon wood fires,” he wrote…

This large paperback book is crammed with historic photographs, from Wommack’s collection and that of the Denver Public Library and others she has tracked down.

Perhaps it will lead a reader on happy summer excursions in the mountain towns to learn more of their histories.

Apollopalooza celebrates 50th anniversary of moon landing One small step for man, one giant leap for Wings Over the Rockies

Gene Kranz was an aerospace engineer with NASA and helped direct the first lunar landing in 1969. Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum will be hosting a 50th anniversary event next month in honor of the first Americans to land on the moon.

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

For those who weren’t alive on the night of July 20 a half-century ago, it’s difficult to imagine what it must’ve been like to see men land on the moon for the first time. For the millions watching, it was an event that will never be forgotten.

Metro resident Stephen Kelly certainly didn’t. And when a little over a year-and-a-half ago he realized the landing’s 50th anniversary was nearing, he thought it was an occasion worth celebrating.

“I went to the management at the Wings Over the Rockies Museum, where I had volunteered for a long time, and mentioned to them this was coming,” Kelly said. “I thought it would be great if the museum could commemorate the event. Originally, I was thinking of a one-day event to celebrate. It’s really expanded since then.”

Apollopalooza will be held at the air and space museum, 7711 E. Academy Blvd. in Denver, from July 13 through 20. The event will feature everything from film screenings and Apollo veterans panels to a STEAM festival and career mingle.

“There are a lot of milestones that can be celebrated: Yuri Gagarin’s flight as the first human in space, Alan Shepard as the first American in space and Apollo 8. However, the Apollo 11 moon landing has the feel of a triumph that can be touched,” wrote Jessica Castellano, Wings Over the Rockies’ chief development officer, in an email interview. “We not only went to space, we touched it, walked on it, and came home. Nothing has been the same since that day, for our aerospace heroes and for our global citizens.”

One of the main goals was to offer an event of substance and without fluff, said Kelly, who chaired the committee that organized Apollopalooza.

Fortunately, education is a key part of Wings’ mission statement, and Denver is home to a burgeoning aerospace industry. National titans like Ball Aerospace, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Sierra Nevada Corp. all call the state home.

“We have a great line-up in-store, including folks from the Colorado School of Mines and University of Colorado, who don’t just teach in these fields – they’re involved in current programs working to get people back on the moon,” Kelly explained. “We have a number of folks that were actually veterans of the Apollo program in one aspect or another, and these guys have some stories to tell.”

Some of the marquee names include Gene Kranz, NASA flight director for all Project Gemini missions, as well as Apollo 11. He also was the leader of the Apollo 13 “Tiger Team” (actor Ed Harris played him in Ron Howard’s “Apollo 13” film). Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt, an Apollo 17 astronaut and moonwalker,

IF YOU GO

WHAT: Apollopalooza Conversations with NASA and Apollo veterans, film screenings, Moon Landing Viewing Party, STEAM festival and much more.

WHERE: Wings Over the Rockies 7711 E. Academy Blvd., Denver WHEN: July 13-20 PASSES: Daily and weekly passes available, as well access to specific events and VIP events. Prices range from $13 to $185.

INFORMATION: www.wingsmuseum.org/ events/apollo/ and Joe Engle, astronaut and X-15 pilot from Colorado Springs, are just a few other people who will be on hand.

There’s a lot of interactive and social events to be excited about, including a Launch Day Breakfast with Kranz on July 16, and a Moon Landing Viewing Party on July 20 that features a live band, dancers, barbecue dinner and themed costumes for the night, capped with a screening of the moon landing timed to the minute it happened 50 years ago.

Apollopalooza is an all-ages event, but students and millennials are being particularly catered to with events that exhibit education and career opportunities in related fields.

The STEAM For All Festival on July 14 is focused on community accessibility to aerospace and will feature workshops, activities and more. Because the event isn’t just about the past – it’s also a look to the future.

“After attending a full day, a lecture or just stopping by to see what all the fuss is about, we hope visitors come away with an amazing appreciation for the thousands of men and women who helped put the first men on the moon 50 years ago,” wrote Ben Theune, Wings’ director of marketing, in an email. “We hope guests leave with an excitement about the future of the space industry as a whole and a desire to follow our progress back to the moon in 2024 — and maybe to even get involved.”

“I’ve Been Told I Have Disc Degeneration & Arthritis in My Back & There’s NOTHING I Can Do About It.” I literally cringe every time I hear this from clients who are told there’s nothing that can be done for their pain when dealing with back arthritis. It’s nearly equivalent to hearing “You’re just getting old. Pain is normal. Just deal with it.” I’ll give you 3 solid points to think about when it comes to being told this information. #1: Fortunately you don’t have to change the arthritis to get out of pain! Naturally, joints go through “wear & tear” as time passes. This isn’t painful for most people.

There’s been studies that show someone at the age of 60 has a 88%+ chance of having disc degeneration in their spine… but do NOT experience pain. So, the question then becomes, what is really causing your pain? #2: You’ve been steered wrong, your pain CAN improve! Many people use modalities such as massage or heat. Sure, these all LESSEN the intensity of pain. The problem is, those modalities (heat, ice, massage) are helpful to calm the pain, but don’t get down to the ROOT CAUSE of why pain happened in the first place. After you learn what the root cause is, then movement, specific exercise, and tissue remodeling techniques will help reduce pain in day-to-day activities and keep it from coming back again. #3: You are uniquely qualified to get out of pain! Pain is experienced differently by every human. Because of this, it’s important to understand that your pain is uniquely yours. This is why many people don’t get better with a “generic” back exercise program. Knowing what your pain-relief techniques are usually requires an investigation.

If you would like to know how to actually get to the bottom of back pain without having to visit the doctor using these common yet overlooked routines that can help back pain go away fast… Then we want to offer this gift to you as a devoted reader of the WPP. It’s a Free Report, entitled “7 Essential Tips to Ease Back Pain”, revealing the leading cause of back pain that is overlooked by 95% of doctors and even shows how you can get to the bottom of back pain quickly and naturally for FREE… and without pills!

Effort seeks civic discourse, civility among different views Better Arguments Project tackles the tech boom at metro-area workshop

Sam Bailey, economic development vice president for the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, listens as former Denver mayoral candidate Lisa Calderon makes a point June 13 at the at Anythink Library’s Wright Farms Branch Better Arguments workshop. The two sat on a panel discussing impacts from Denver’s tech boom.

SCOTT TAYLOR

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Coloradans hear news reports that Amazon or any national tech giant is coming to to the state, Sam Bailey figures they imagine an invasion.

“When you saw something on the news, like Amazon’s (HQ2 expansion proposal) the assumption we hear, in letters, emails and phone calls, is that 50,000 new people are going to land at Denver International Airport, come on down Peña Boulevard and ruin our lives,” said Bailey, economic development vice president for the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation.

On the contrary, he said: Most hightech companies starting up or moving to Denver hire locally, creating a multitude of new jobs for Colorado residents and boosting the quality of life.

“These are good growing pains,” he said. “They come with challenges, just as anything does. But I’ll say, though, it beats an out-migration from the state.”

Offering a counterpoint was former Denver mayoral candidate and Regis University lecturer Lisa Calderon.

The state’s economic expansion largely ignores much of the population, especially women of color, she said.

“The real issue is how do we manage the transitions as we go through growth and what are the unintended — or even the intended consequences — of this growth,” Calderon said.

Calderon said she saw how stagnant growth and economic decline affected the state during the last recession.

“But back then, we also had choices about what we were going to do and those were made to the detriment of some people and helped others in their goal of wealth building,” she said. “So I want us to be honest about all that — about what are the costs.”

That disagreement was the point of a workshop June 13 at Anythink Library’s Wright Farms branch in

Thornton — “Better Arguments: Tech boom tensions in Denver.”

Civic discourse The workshop was part of the national Better Arguments Project spearheaded by the Aspen Institute, the Allstate insurance corporation and global educational organization Facing History and Ourselves. The goal is to promote better arguments among people who disagree, especially in today’s divisive political climate.

“Everyone’s views are legitimate; people have their views,” said Allstate’s Tara Leweling, vice president of corporate relations. “But at the same time, people are just going to war and not talking to each other. We wondered if there was something we could to help bridge the divide and help people come together in a constructive way.”

The workshop was the second event the Better Arguments Project has hosted, after a March meeting in Detroit, Michigan, that drew an estimated 300 people.

Roger Brooks, president of Facing History and Ourselves, said organizers were paying attention to how the attendees spoke to each other and argued and would use those discussions to help frame future workshops.

Filmmakers from the Aspen Institute recorded many of the discussions and planned to release a series of fiveto 10-minute videos on the group’s website.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis opened the workshop. Divisions in society — along economic, political or religious lines — are nothing new, he said.

“There are all sorts of different ways that make people feel different,” Polis said. “And yet through our civil society, we have to come together and have these authentic discussions that lead to a better outcome. And it’s easier to reach a broad consensus when you are not being pulled into different directions by narrowly focused special interests, and keep a focus on the big picture.”

That fed into a panel discussion featuring Calderon, Bailey and Colorado Sun tech reporter Tamara Chuang.

For Calderon, Denver’s tech boom provides jobs but not for the lower economic rungs who could most benefit.

That’s because many of their schools don’t have the resources to train them for tech jobs.

“They also face other challenges outside the classroom,” she said. “Outside the classroom, we see that two-

ARGUING BETTER

The Better Arguments Project is a joint effort by the Aspen Institute, Allstate insurance and educational organization Facing History and Ourselves. It encourages thorough, reasonable debates on divisive topics.

It maintains that public policy debates — about race, rights, equality and many other topics — are necessary for a healthy American civic life.

Organizers have five principles they promote for having a better argument.

1. Take winning off the table. Frame an argument as a way to understand a different point of view rather than winning or even resolving differences.

2. Prioritize relationships and listen passionately. Participants need to really listen to each other, with the goal of learning.

3. Pay attention to context. Participants should acknowledge and understand the culture of the people they are arguing with and how it shapes their point of view.

4. Embrace vulnerability. Instead of limiting discussions to people that agree, participants need to step outside of their beliefs and prepare to have those beliefs challenged.

5. Make room to transform. The goal is to change how people interact in a public space, rather than win. Participants need to be prepared to receive new information and to build community with people they might not agree with. thirds of white students have access to a computer at home, but only about 50 percent of students of color do.”

But Bailey said the state does try to use new tax revenues from new businesses to help all levels, with investments in education and transportation.

“We never want to set a tone and appear desperate and say anything to get you here,” Bailey said. “We’ll show how you can come here, how you can grow here and how you can get engaged in the community.”

But Calderon said those discussions don’t include everyone.

“Sam, when you say `We’ are having these discussions’, who is the we?” she said. “Because those of us who are on the ground dealing with issues of displacement, your `we’ does not include `us.’ ” Respect and honesty Finally, organizers turned the discussions over to attendees, who talked about the impact of Denver’s budding tech economy with their tablemates.

“That’s actually the heart of the Better Arguments project, which is you guys practicing what we are doing,” Brooks said.

He encouraged people attending the workshop to go forward and respect the people with who they talk.

“A better argument is about a whole bunch of things,” he said. “At every table is a diversity of opinion. We’ve purposely curated each table so that not everyone there thinks the same way or comes from the same perspective. So, be present, but find a way to respect the people you are with. Find ways to connect to them, because that changes the way the conversation goes. But say what you mean and be honest.”

The Bible Speaks – Clouds If you love clouds you will enjoy the Bible’s use of the word. God covers the sky with clouds (Ps 147:8) & commands them to rain (Job 36:27,28).

God “…makes the clouds His chariot & rides on the wings of the wind” (PS 104:3). Jesus’ deity was declared from a cloud: “…a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love’ ” (Matt 17:5). After Jesus’ resurrection He ascended back to heaven in a cloud (Acts 1:9) & He will return to earth someday “… coming on the clouds of heaven” (Matt 26:64). One of the great promises for a Christian is that one day we “…will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thess 4:17).

So think of God whenever you see clouds & be amazed at how He uses them. hfsmail@basicisp.net

Vista, Creek athletes dominate diamond Ireland’s playing skills bring honors; Mitchell named pitcher of year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista’s Sam Ireland did his usual thing this season, while Nathan Mitchell of Cherry Creek did something that had not happened in 47 years.

Ireland has been named the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Player of the Year and Mitchell was tabbed as the Pitcher of the Year.

Last season, Ireland was selected as both the CCM South Metro Player and Pitcher of the Year, and the University of Minnesota recruit could have been named the same this season with impressive numbers, but Mitchell pitched better than ever for the Bruins.

Ireland was dominant on the mound with a 9-0 record, a 0.91 earned run average with 60 strikeouts, 22 walks and no homers allowed in 54 innings pitched.

He hit .425 with 36 runs batted in and had 13 doubles, one triple and five homers.

“Sam is a dual threat and is probably the best two-way player in the state,” said Vista coach Ron Quintana.

Asked whether Ireland should be

Sam Ireland of Mountain Vista is CCM’s South Metro Baseball Player of the Year. considered a pitching or playing prospect, Quintana played the answer forward.

“That’s Minnesota’s decision now,” offered Quintana.

Mitchell was Creek’s designated hitter when he wasn’t providing the Bruins with some much-needed pitching stability.

He hit .346 but was steady on the mound and gave the Bruins strength on the mound, which helped Creek advance to the 5A state championship game.

Mitchell was 11-0 with a 2.58 ERA and had 59 strikeouts in 70.2 innings pitched. He walked just 13 of the 292 batters face and five of those walks came in the first game of the season.

“He makes you beat him,” said Creek coach Marc Johnson, who

completed his 47th season of coaching baseball. “He doesn’t walk a lot of batters and that helps a lot. Mitchell is the reason we won as many games as we did. He won 11 games as a pitcher for us. I’ve never had a pitcher go 11-0.”

Katie Berrian didn’t get herself in too much trouble on the golf course this season to test her mental toughness.

In fact Berrian, the Regis Jesuit junior who lives in Castle Pines, had an exceptional season and has been selected as the 2019 Colorado Community Media Girls Golfer of the Year.

“I think I had a great season,” said Berrian who is also a competitive dancer and spends 15 hours a week fine tuning her dancing skills. “I worked real hard on my mental game. I matured and that helped.

“It went really well mentally and physically this season. To succeed with the mental game is tough. It is so easy to get caught up in the bad things.”

Berrian won six of the nine high school tournaments she played this season, finished second once, tied for third and tied for fifth once. Her combined scores for the nine events was 1-over-par. She averaged just over 72 a round.

She won the Class 5A West regional tournament with a 4-under par 67 at Tiara Rado golf course in Grand Junction.

She birdied four of the final five holes she played. Loveland’s Lauren Lehigh, who won her second straight 5A state championship on May 20, was second at the regional with a 68.

Berrian had a 1-over-par 73 on the first day of the Class 5A state tournament held on a wintry day at Harmony golf course in Tinmath. The second round of the tournament was called off after snow covered the course. Lehigh, a senior, was awarded the individual title following her first-round 70.

This summer when she is not dancing, Berrian is scheduled to play in four national junior golf tournaments.

Columbine graduate works to help rename highway for slain teacher STAFF REPORT

A member of the Columbine High School class of 2000 plans to donate money from the sale of his artwork to help rename part of C-470 in honor of Dave Sanders, the teacher who was killed at the school in 1999.

Shortly after events commemorating the 20th anniversary of the tragedy, a resolution was passed by the Colorado House of Representatives and approved by Gov. Jared Polis to rename a seven-mile stretch of the highway in honor of Sanders.

The cost of renaming the highway, such as new signs, must come from donations.

HIRE A VETERAN To Advertise call Ann-Marie 303.566.4070

ameyn@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Hiring a Veteran is Hiring Smart Employers often say it’s hard to find good help these days as they fill out and post the most recent job openings for their business. With plans to grow your business, you may be having a tough time filling positions without knowing that the solution is simple.

The answer could be to fill open positions with military veterans. Some reasons to consider hiring a Veteran include:

1

Veterans are goal-oriented: It’s all part of their training. They selflessly served their country with the goal of accomplishing tasks, and completing set goals. In the workplace, that mentality doesn’t change. They set their sights on accomplishing goals and finishing the tasks of the day with quality and care.

2

Responsible: Veterans take responsibility seriously, which means they will take the responsibilities of their jobs seriously. In the military, a soldier is taught that mistakes have grave consequences, that bad decisions can mean failing to accomplish a mission. That training doesn’t go away, that training transfers into the workplace.

3

Independent and trustworthy: If you’re looking for an employee who knows how to take on the duties of the job with minimal or no supervisions,

a military veteran is a good choice. A Veteran understands direction, takes it seriously and can be trusted to work independently and diligently.

4

Veterans understand health and safety: If your industry follows strict safety and health standards, hiring a Veteran has its benefits. From the time a soldier joins the military until the time they leave, they keep the health and safety of fellow soldiers in mind is a requirement. They follow set guidelines and rules. They can successfully go through training and implement and set the example for other employees to follow.

Hiring Veterans is becoming more popular among U.S. businesses, with the unemployment rate dropping to 2.7 in 2019, down from 3.4 percent in 2018. (Shutterstock photo)

5

Saves you money: There are benefits to hiring a Veteran. The U.S. Government provides various incentives for hiring Veterans, including the Special Employer Incentive program, which allows some companies to recoup some of the salaries paid to Veterans.

6

Work Ethic: It’s hard to match the work ethic of a soldier. Once out of the military, that strong work ethic transfers into the workforce. Veterans don’t simply complete a task and relax, they work as a team and will take on other tasks knowing the job isn’t done until the entire team is done.

“Trust Us!” Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Read your public notices and get involved!
