MY NAME IS

MK HOLODY

MK Holody said growing up in the Midwest helped make her polite and outgoing.

Making life easier with data

DAVID GILBERT

Making things easier I help nonprofits increase their impact by doing more with their data.

The company I work for, CiviCore, does data management for nonprofits. Say a group provides services to youth, and they want to keep track of how many times they’ve met with a kid, or what services did they provide, so they can track their effectiveness or use that info to apply for grants.

That’s what I help them do.

I really like to help people by making things easier for them. I commend what our clients do on the ground, and my part is making it easier for them by figuring out how they can do it better.

Ordered and analytical My ordered and analytical side plays out the most at work, but I ask questions about a lot of things. Why does something work a certain way?

If a website breaks when I’m shopping online, I start analyzing the URL to try to figure out where it was trying to go and why it didn’t work.

Before Denver, I was in Austin, Texas. I’m from South Bend, Indiana originally. I graduated college in In-

diana, and I was working in restaurants, and in my mid-20s I got fed up with the lifestyle of just hanging out with friends and drinking. I heard Austin was a cool place if you’re into live music, although nobody told me how hot it was. I applied for an Americorps program, and did literacy tutoring for school kids.

Saying hi Growing up in the Midwest, I liked that people were kind and willing to help their neighbors. People there don’t get worked up about a lot. It got me into the habit of saying hi to strangers.

I’m interested in building communi-

ty. When people are more connected, they’re less likely to have preconceived notions about other people or other groups.

All good things I’ve got an omega tattooed on my wrist, to remind myself that everything has an ending. Sometimes we think something happening to us is just terrible, but we forget everything ends. On the flip side, if something is really great, that will end too, so it’s good to appreciate it.

If you have suggestions for My Name Is, please contact David Gilbert at dgilbert@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

RTD has been moving people for 50 years.

To celebrate, the Regional Transportation District will host a 50th anniversary party from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday, July 12 at Union Station Plaza, 17th and Wynkoop in Denver. A special speaking program will start at 2 p.m.

Dig out the bell bottoms, tie dyes and beehive wigs to commemorate the district’s 1969 beginnings. The celebration will include food trucks, a band, giveaways, interactive displays, a commemorative photo booth and more.

C-470 project nearing completion Three-year project expected to save motorists upwards of 18 minutes of travel time

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Officials from the Colorado Department of Transportation anticipate that the long-awaited C-470 express lanes project will wrap up at the end of 2019, likely in December. “(The) contractor expects all lanes will

be open but there might be crews on site for several months following to do finish work, perfecting some issues, landscaping etc.,” Linda Wilson, a spokeswoman for the project, said in an email. “We also have to take into consideration some of the normal obstacles that can delay a project such as weather, material availability and crew availability.”

The C-470 Express Lanes project — which kicked off in late 2016 — will add two tolled express lanes westbound from I-25 to Colorado Boulevard, near the South University Boulevard exit, with one tolled express lane continuing westbound from Colorado Boulevard to Wadsworth Boulevard. One express lane will be added to the eastbound

stretch from Wadsworth Boulevard to I-25. The project will also see bridges and overpasses widened, curves realigned and the addition of noise walls along populated parts of the corridor, among other tweaks, according to CDOT materials.

The project is expected to save motorists upwards of 18 minutes of travel time on the roughly 12-mile stretch between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard during rush hour. Tolls will vary depending on traffic flow and would range up to $6 to travel the entire express-lane corridor during peak hours.

The goal is to keep all motorists moving at 45 mph or faster.

Roughly 100,000 drivers use the seg-

ment of highway every day, according to CDOT, with volumes projected to increase 40% by 2035.

Douglas County funded $10 million of the project’s $276 million cost. An additional $110.6 million came from state and federal funding. Toll revenue will fund the remaining balance, along with costs of highway maintenance and operation of the express lanes.

For convenience and cost savings, motorists can purchase an express lanes pass at www.expresstoll.com. After creating an account, a customer will receive a transponder to place inside of his or her vehicle. Tolls will be automatically deducted from the customer’s pre-paid toll account.

Lightning strikes tree, damages Carson Nature Center

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

South Platte Park rangers happened upon an electrifying scene on July 1, after a tree outside Carson Nature Center was struck by lightning, blasting out windows at the center and frying parts of the building’s electrical system.

The tree was struck at around 4:15 p.m., said Skot Latona, manager of South Platte Park.

The nature center is closed on Mondays, and Latona had just left the building moments before the strike, he said.

“We were lucky,” Latona said.

“Another day of the week and a volunteer would have been sitting at the desk.”

A ranger found the damage to the building later in the afternoon, Latona said.

The strike blew a large section of wood and bark out of a cottonwood tree that shades a garden on the east side of the building, which shattered windows and scattered chunks of wood throughout the building.

Two large fish tanks near the windows were undamaged, Latona said, as the old glass tanks had recently been replaced with Lexan.

“We’re lucky there, too,” Latona said. “If it were still the old glass tanks we would’ve ended up with fish all over the floor.”

The charge entered the building’s electrical system through the automatic sprinkler system,

Latona said, and blew the face off the irrigation time clock.

The shock also destroyed security panels, a network modem, and the building’s decades-old low-voltage light switches, Latona said.

“The security system is back up, but everything else will have to be replaced,” Latona said.

The nature center is operating as normal, Latona said, although he didn’t yet have an estimate for the full timeline or cost of repairs.

An arborist will try to save the tree, Latona said.

This is the first time the nature center has suffered lightning damage, Latona said, though lightning strikes are not uncommon on trees in the park.

South Platte Park manager Skot Latona stands beside a cottonwood that was struck by lightning during a storm on July 1. Chunks of the tree busted windows at Carson Nature Center and fried parts of the building’s electrical system.

State’s Behavioral Health Task Force kicks off First meeting takes place in Castle Rock

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lawmakers, state leaders and mental health professionals who make up Colorado’s Behavioral Health Task Force convened for the first time July 1 to explore solutions to the state’s high suicide rate and barriers to mental health care.

“I think it’s fair to say we have a broken system and we have an opportunity to fix that as a task force,” said Michelle Barnes, chairwoman of the task force and executive director of the Colorado Department of Human Services. “The will to make a difference starts at the top.”

The task force, with the help of three subcommittees, is working to develop a “Behavioral Health Blueprint” for the state to improve cracks in the behavioral health system.

The kickoff meeting, held as a

roundtable discussion in a packed conference room at the Douglas County Department of Human Services building in Castle Rock, with members of the public in attendance, began with impassioned introductions. The state received roughly 500 applications for the committees, which each have about 25 members.

The task force’s executive committee is made up of six members: Barnes, Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, Douglas County Deputy Manager Barbara Drake, Colorado Insurance Commissioner Michael Conway, Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing Executive Director Kim Bimestefer and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Executive Director Jill Hunsaker Ryan.

“It’s really important that we get this right,” said Hunsaker Ryan, who previously worked as a commissioner in Eagle County, where the suicide rate is historically high.

On April 8, Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order directing the Colorado Department of Human Services to head

the behavioral task force.

Annually, Colorado pledges more than $1 billion to its behavioral health system, but the state ranked 43rd on Mental Health America’s 2018 mental health index, which is based on 15 criteria, including mental illness prevalence and access to care. Colorado is 10th in the country for the highest suicide rate, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The three subcommittees under the task force are each charged with finding solutions to different challenges in the state’s behavioral health system.

The goal of the State Safety Net Subcommittee is to ensure all Coloradans have access to care in their communities, regardless of “acuity level, ability to pay, or co-occurring disabilities,” according to state’s website. The Children’s Behavioral Health Subcommittee is focused on better outcomes for children. The Long-Term Competency Subcommittee is tasked with developing a comprehensive plan for individuals in the criminal justice system, along with solutions to increase community

intervention.

“I deal with people every day who think the response to every problem is more prison beds,” said Dean Williams, executive director of Colorado’s Department of Corrections. “There is an opportunity to do some big work in this state.”

The task force and subcommittees will meet periodically over the next year at various locations. Meeting times will be listed at www.colorado.gov/pacific/ cdhs/colorado-behavioral-health-taskforce. Representatives from the Farley Health Policy Center, named after Dr. Eugene Shedden Farley, a leader in the first generation of American family physicians, will facilitate the meetings.

Members of the task force stress the importance of their mission and the difference they plan on making.

Barnes described her vision as a “complete overhaul” of the current system.

“Being a little bit better doesn’t work for people who need these services,” she said. “We have to be bold and creative to make this happen.”

No complaints about shooting range, officials say Triple J Armory could get even bigger despite new law

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A south Littleton shooting range that has been the target of controversy over the past year is officially open for business, and may get even bigger.

Despite dire predictions from neighbors over concerns about noise and parking issues, city officials say they have received no complaints about Triple J Armory’s shooting range during its first full month of operation.

“I hope that stays the same,” said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“They’re behaving so far. They should be able to operate within the guidelines. They put a lot of money into soundproofing, and as long as they continue to follow the rules, noise stays within an acceptable range and parking is managed, I have no issues with it.”

Neither City Manager Mark Relph nor Community Development Director Jennifer Henninger were aware of any citizen complaints against Triple J since the range’s soft opening in early June. The range held a

grand opening ceremony on June 29.

Triple J’s retail gun store at the location opened last year.

Triple J’s shooting range may get even bigger, as the company is working on obtaining a permit to expand the number of lanes in the range from 11 to 20, city officials said. The permit application was filed just days before the enactment of a law limiting shooting ranges in Littleton that Brinkman said she had hoped would constrict the range’s final size.

Triple J co-owner J.D. Murphree did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this article.

Legal wrangling Triple J, a family-owned gun store that started in a strip mall near Broadway and County Line Road in 2012, drew controversy in 2018 when neighbors objected to plans to build a larger store and shooting range at 8152 Southpark Lane.

Residents of the nearby Highline Crossing cohousing community led the charge against the range, saying it was too close to homes and schools, citing safety fears after Triple J’s old location was the target of two completed and one attempted smash-and-grab burglaries, as well as concerns about noise and parking.

The City of Littleton issued a stop-work order against the range last August after discovering Triple J began constructing the range with-

out permits. City officials mandated a variety of safety and security measures before finally approving the range, saying the site’s zoning left them powerless to flat-out deny permits.

The South Park Owners Association, which governs the business park Triple J is part of, filed suit against Triple J in 2018, alleging Triple J did not receive proper clearance to begin building the range.

The parties ended up settling for an undisclosed amount.

Mother and son team Renata and Ron Lilischkes, who own a commercial building next door to the shooting range, filed suit against Triple J in January, alleging the business infringed on their parking. A judge denied an injunction against the range in April, saying the Lilischkes appeared to be motivated by opposition to the nature of the business, not parking concerns. The suit was not dismissed, however, and is currently scheduled for a four-day jury trial in December. The Lilischkes did not respond to a request for comment.

Littleton City Council enacted a law in May that requires a higher bar to approve future shooting ranges. The law also limited the ability of existing shooting ranges to expand. Murphree told council at a hearing on the law that expansion had been in Triple J’s plans from the beginning. The company applied for

a permit to expand to 20 lanes days later, before the law took effect.

The permit application is currently being reviewed by city staff, said city permit specialist Ernie Rose.

Fatigued by the fight Some of those who sought to stop Triple J from completing the shooting range say they’re worn out on fighting.

“People feel rather defeated,” said Rebecca Askew, president of the Highline Crossing homeowners’ association, said of residents of the neighborhood. “We should’ve known it was going to happen. All we did was delay the inevitable.”

The neighborhood has worked with the Littleton Police Department to come up with safety strategies regarding their concerns over the range, Askew said, though some residents are still ill at ease.

“Everyone’s pretty skittish,” Askew said, saying residents believe they’ve heard gunshots coming from the vicinity of the range, though one instance turned out to be a teenager shooting off fireworks.

Still, she hopes Highline Crossing and Triple J can get along.

“Highline can be good neighbors, I know that much,” Askew said. “We just want to live in our homes safely without issue.”

ccording to author Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA in an article in Retirement Researcher, financial planning research has shown that coordinated use of a reverse mortgage starting earlier in retirement outperforms waiting to open a reverse mortgage as a last resort option once all else has failed.

Reverse mortgages Kathy Muni have transitioned from a last resort to a retirement income tool that can be incorporated as part of an overall efficient retirement income plan. Two benefits give opening a reverse mortgage earlier in retirement the potential to improve retirement outcomes, even after accounting for loan costs.

First, coordinating retirement spending from a reverse mortgage

mortgage is not repaid until the last borrower leaves the home.

Reverse mortgages can help sidestep this risk by providing an alternative source of retirement spending after market declines, creating more opportunity for the portfolio to recover.

The second potential benefit of opening the reverse mortgage early—especially when interest rates are low—is that the principal limit (the overall eligible amount consisting of any loan balance and remaining line of credit) that you can borrow from will continue to grow throughout retirement.

Fine Arts Board chair announces council run Kate Eckel plans to focus on thoughtful development, fiscal responsibility

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Fine Arts Board chair Kate Eckel announced a bid for the District 2 seat on Littleton City Council this fall. The seat is currently held by Mayor Pro Tem Jerry Valdes, who is seeking reelection.

RANGE FROM PAGE 5

Pat Dunahay, the director of the South Park Owners Association, said if he could do it all over again, he’d try harder to help Triple J find another location. Triple J’s owners initially approached Dunahay about a custom ground-up build in a location further from residences, he said, but the plans proved too expensive.

District 2 covers the city’s northeast quadrant, and includes Littleton High School, Progress Park, and stretches of Broadway and Littleton Boulevard.

Eckel, 55, is the director of human resources for Critical Mass Industries, according to a news release, which operates the Good Meds medical marijuana Eckel dispensaries in Lakewood and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Eckel, originally from Omaha,

Nebraska said she brings “wholesome, Midwestern values to Littleton; honesty, hard work and a strong sense of community.”

Eckel said she became interested in running for council while serving on the Envision Littleton Community Coordinating Committee, a citizens’ group that provides feedback on the city’s forthcoming Comprehensive Plan update.

Eckel said her campaign will focus on “thoughtful development.”

“What do we want to be?” Eckel said. “What do we want to look like? I don’t want us to sign off to any developer that comes along.”

District 2 is evolving, Eckel said.

“My district is trending younger and demographics are becoming more mixed,” Eckel said. “I want to have an opportunity to speak on their behalf.”

Working in human resources for a variety of small companies has given her an ability to hear out both sides of an issue and appreciate the challenges faced by small business, Eckel said.

Eckel also said she will focus on fiscal responsibility and community safety.

Eckel holds a bachelor’s degree from Creighton University and a master’s degree from the University of Nebraska.

“I guess we could’ve worked harder to help make that happen,” Dunahay said. “It wouldn’t have had any negative impact on neighbors, because there basically weren’t any.

Maybe we could’ve offered financing assistance.”

At this point, Dunahay said, he hopes Triple J is “successful, quiet, and part of South Park in the best way possible.”

Dunahay said he was heartened by the city’s new ordinance raising the bar to approve new shooting ranges.

“The most important piece, I think, is that affected parties and neighbors need to be notified properly” of new shooting ranges, Dunahay said.

Brinkman said that despite the new law, Triple J seemed determined to build out to 20 lanes, and she wasn’t surprised when they slipped in under the wire to apply for the expansion permit.

“They told us if it wasn’t approved, they were going to sue us,” Brinkman said. “They said they felt it was a taking of their property rights.”

The bottom line, Brinkman said, is the whole brouhaha speaks to the need for citizen engagement in the city’s forthcoming efforts to overhaul city code and land use regulations.

“As times and people and lifestyles change, we need to look at laws and rules that no longer reflect current situations,” Brinkman said. “What we’re doing with code and land use is exactly what we should be doing.

We’ll have what we need going forward, and that’s the most I can hope for right now.”

‘Equipment closet’ loans medical supplies for free Caretakers and those recovering can get wheelchairs, walkers and more

Donna Ralston, left, founder of the South Metro Medical Equipment Loan Closet, cleans a piece of equipment alongside volunteer Vicki Griffith July 3 at the nonprofit’s location just outside central Centennial. The organization offers three-month loans — for free — of items such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, commodes and other equipment to help people recover from surgery or assist people in need of caretaking.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Debra Pontious, a 46-year-old who lives in Commerce City, has taken care of her grandfather, grandmother and mother-in-law, and now, she’s looking after her own mother.

After a stroke, her mom lost use of her right side, and Pontious came to the South Metro Medical Equipment Loan Closet pick up a wheelchair — four days earlier, she borrowed a bed.

An experienced staff asked Pontious her mother’s weight and height on July 3, searching for the right equipment.

“They had everything I needed,” said Pontious, who has seen the high cost of medical items elsewhere. She’s used another service in the past.

“But it’s hard to get a hold of them,” Pontious said of the service she used earlier. “These guys are really easy to get a hold of.”

Greenwood Village at 6825 S. Dallas Court, has grown to provide hundreds of pieces of equipment each year and fields several calls per day — but it started out of a 10-by-10 shed at a local church after founder Donna Ralston found inspiration.

“I have a history of mission trips,” said Ralston, a Centennial resident.

“On a trip in Guatemala, (I learned) someone had started one of these in Kansas. The idea would not let me rest. After two years of thinking, I recruited a bunch of people, and that’s how we got started.”

FREE DONATED, CLEANED EQUIPMENT For people recovering from surgery, having older relatives visit, waiting for permanent equipment to arrive or experiencing other need, South Metro Medical Equipment Loan Closet offers the following, for free, for periods of up to three months: • Wheelchairs and transport chairs • Walkers, all kinds, with baskets • Shower benches • Toilet-risers with or without arms; toilet support frames • Bedside commodes (three-in-one) • Knee cruisers • Crutches • Canes, all types • Health aids, sock aids, reachers • Bariatric items Other items are listed on www.medicalequipmentloan.org.

After three years running as of July, and one year of operating in its current location, the organization wants to keep growing. From July 2016 through June 2017, it loaned about 200 pieces of equipment to 126 people.

In its second year, it loaded out more than 570 pieces to 277 people, according to a brochure.

“The need for volunteers is increasing due to the number of people we serve,” said Ralston, 72, who is a volunteer herself.

Historical Preservation Board member announces council run Pam Grove says focus is on smart growth, keeping small-town feel

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Historical Preservation Board member Pam Grove has announced a bid for an at-large seat on city council this fall.

Grove, 66, has worked in a variety

of fields, according to a news release, including as a marketer, team leader, corporate trainer and business coach.

Grove has worked as an instructor at Regis University, the University of Phoenix and Metropolitan State University, she said.

Grove said her interest in running for Grove council was piqued by serving on the Envision Littleton Community Coordinating Com-

Some older organizations and churches offer medical items, Ralston said, but they aren’t always as inclusive.

“I found if you aren’t a veteran or a senior connected to a senior center, or go to a church, you don’t have options,” Ralston said. “There really wasn’t anything in the south metro area.”

About 70% of the organization’s clients are older than 65, but some younger people call after ski accidents, for example, Griffith said.

And out of its humble roots, the loan closet has garnered community support: The Rotary Clubs of University Hills, Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and the Denver Tech Center have pitched in financially, and a fifth one is considering doing so too, Ralston said.

This year, the loan closet also received a grant from the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners, Ralston added.

Her whole organization is made up of volunteers, and volunteers don’t need to be retired, but Griffith said she finds a certain satisfaction in giving back in this time of her life.

“It seems like us retired people are here,” Griffith said, “to do something other than for ourselves.”

mittee, a citizens’ group providing feedback on the city’s forthcoming Comprehensive Plan update.

“I’ve always been interested in giving back to my community,” Grove said. “I want to see Littleton grow and thrive, but keep its charm and small-town feel.”

Grove has sat on the city Historical Preservation Board since 2010, and was its chair for three years.

She said her experience gives her a deeper understanding of how the city works and important community issues.

Grove said as a councilmember she would be focused on issues including “managing growth with appropriate zoning, enhancing traffic flow, maintaining safety and quality of life, and spending tax dollars on infrastructure that serves the needs of the community,” according to the news release.

Grove volunteers for the American Marketing Association and High Line Canal Conservancy, according to the release. She has an MBA from San Francisco State University.

HOW TO VOLUNTEER, DONATE, ARRIVE The South Metro Medical Equipment Loan Closet needs volunteers, who answer their cellphones some days between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to set up appointments to meet clients to take in donations or loan out equipment. Most volunteers take calls two or three days per month and pick the days on which they help.

There are no requirements for who can volunteer.

Cash donations are needed for paying rent, insurance, cleaning supplies and repairs.

Donations are accepted in cash, checks and online at www.medicalequipmentloan.org.

The loan closet operates by appointment and is available during the week and

Saturday mornings, depending on when volunteers are available to assist clients.

Its inventory is online at www.medicalequipmentloan.org, up to date daily. It provides equipment to anyone, regardless of income or any other criteria. The phone number is 720-443-2013.

Located near East Arapahoe Road on the east side of Interstate 25, the loan closet at 6825 S. Dallas Court in Greenwood Village can be accessed by turning south on South Dayton Street, right at East Costilla Avenue, right into the lot at South Dallas Court and then driving about half a block north. On the left, the loan closet has a door and a few parking spaces.

Denver Water proposes removal of lead pipes Plan will be submitted to EPA for approval in August

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver Water is looking to tackle lead in consumer drinking water head-on — by removing all the lead pipes in its system.

On July 1, the utility organization announced a new three-part plan to remove the pipes in its service area over the next 15 years. Jim Lochhead, the CEO and manager at Denver Water, said that in order to get ahead of health concerns with lead in the water, “the ultimate solution is just removing these lines altogether.”

The organization will present the plan to the Environmental Protection Agency in August, and expects a decision by the end of 2019. Lochhead estimates the plan will cost between $300 million and $500 million depending on how many lead pipes there are.

In addition to replacing an estimated 50,000 to 90,000 lead service lines, Denver Water will distribute water filters to customers who may have lead lines, so they can get lead out of their drinking water before their lines are replaced. The utility will also increase the pH levels from 7.8 to 8.8, in order to prevent lead from leaking into the water.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment asked Denver Water in March 2018 to begin the process of adding orthophosphate to its system by 2020. Similar to increased pH levels, orthophosphate creates a coating on the inside of pipes and reduces the likelihood of lead getting into water.

Ron Falco, the safe water drinking program manager for the department, said the state looked into putting the additive into the system after lead levels in Denver Water were too high in 2012. Falco added that several utilities in the state are already using orthophosphate.

“It showed that (Denver Water’s) current corrosion control that they use might not be optimized,” he said.

There are not dangerous levels of lead in the water currently. Denver Water collects tens of thousands of water samples annually, Locchead said. EPA rules require that action is taken if more than 10% of homes tested have lead levels above 15 parts per billion. The only time this happened in Denver Water was in 2012.

Since most of the lead lines are customer owned, Denver Water does not know which homes have lead and which do not — and many customers don’t either. Homes built before 1951 are the most likely to have lead pipes, as Denver Water began to allow galvanized and copper pipes in construction in 1949. Copper pipes continued to

A worker with Denver Water removes a lead pipe from a customer’s plumbing system. The utility organization estimated that there are between 50,000 to 90,000 lead service lines in their system.

PHOTO COURTESY OF DENVER WATER have lead solders to connect the pipes.

Denver Water banned the use of lead pipes in 1971, according to its website.

Lochhead said the utility would use this information, as well as testing and permitting data they have collected to help determine which houses need line replacements.

“It’s a number of different ways to

kind of sleuth out where we think they’re going to be,” he said. “Over the course of 15 years, we’re hopeful that our methods for identifying these lines will continue to improve.”

Denver Water’s policy is to remove lead pipes when it comes across them.

Around 1,200 lines are replaced every year. The organization also offers free water testing to homes. Denver Water serves around 1.4 million people in metro Denver.

Removing the problem Denver Water also had concerns about using orthophosphate. On one hand, Lochhead called adding chemicals to drinking water a “delicate balance.” Denver Water wants to ensure its product is clean and safe to drink, but also tastes good for customers.

“We would prefer to avoid adding new chemicals to our drinking water,” he said. “We like to produce a really good product.”

Its research indicated that while orthophosphate would reduce lead levels by 74%, it would take 60 years to do so.

The organization also had concerns about investing in adding the additive to its water, when other organizations such as the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District would have to later remove orthophosphate from its system in order to prevent it from going directly into waterways.

VOICES

Shades of gray look a lot less shady top me if you’ve heard this one. The day I found my first gray hairs, I QUIET thought I’d

dye.

DESPERATION Today’s essay is about gray hair. I like gray hair.

Americans are not allowed to grow older gracefully. We are reminded at every turn that youth will be noticed and served.

And that trying to Craig Marshall stay forever young, while an impossibilSmith ity, can be achieved with dyes and injections.

I don’t always know who has had injections, but I (almost) always know who has dyed their hair.

Somewhere along the line, gray hair got a bad reputation, and it continues to this day.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with gray hair, and most of the time it looks far better than the opaque alternative.

Our skin and our hair age together.

Jet black hair and 60-70-80-year-old skin is an incongruity.

Some of us, obviously, prefer the incongruity.

I began to have gray hair when I was in my early 20s. I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t happy about it. And then I saw someone my age who had

a full head of gray hair.

It was a comedian named Steve Martin. When I realized that having gray hair didn’t seem to bother him, it no longer bothered me that I had gray hair.

Actors and actresses have their hair dyed for various roles all the time. Martin’s hair was dyed black for his roles in “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” and “My Blue Heaven.”

He looked completely different, but it was right for those two performances.

However, some dye jobs don’t work out so well. The next time you watch “You’ve Got Mail,” take a close look at Tom Hanks’ hair. It’s so unnaturally

black that it becomes a distraction.

I have sometimes wondered what it would be like to be a celebrity.

I have sometimes wondered what it would be like to be celebrity, whose looks are pre-eminent.

We have all seen plastic surgery gone wrong. In some cases, very wrong.

Some actors and actresses have grown old in front of our eyes without exaggerated attempts to preserve a memory.

Take a look at Bud Cort in “Harold and Maude.” And then take a look at Bud Cort in “Pollock.”

here was a recent video that made its way around social media and the news.

It was the story of two Minnesota high school baseball teams playing in a playoff game, and the winner would be movWINNING ing on to the WORDS state championship rounds.

The story wasn’t about the teams, one coming out with a win and a trip to state and the other taking the loss ending their Michael Norton season. It was about two friends and a display of true friendship and loyalty.

As the game was down to the final out, the pitcher was facing not only his opponent, but also his best friend. He struck him out to win the game and advance his team to states. But as his team rushed on to the field to celebrate, the pitcher rushed to home plate to hug and console his friend. It was an amazing display of an awesome friendship.

And sometimes friendships can dissolve over a dispute or disagreement, and many times over the smallest or silliest things.

One of my closest friends said it best, “I would rather have a tight circle of three to five very close friends than to have a large circle of acquaintances.” He made this comment as we talked about having the ability to confide in a friend without worry of judgment or that the information will be shared with others.

This feeling is underscored in Proverbs 18:24, “A man of too many friends comes to ruin; but there is one who sticks closer than a brother.” In the rush and crush and crazy pace of life, we sometimes get caught up in trying to be everything to everybody. When in fact, we can be that one friend who sticks closer than a brother, or sister, and build those trusted friendships.

Paleo, keto dieters

July 11, 2019J

LIFE

Proponents say eating healthy is easier than ever as diets gain popularity

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or the past four years, Littleton resident Kimberly Spomer has attended a support group. The group of roughly 25 people consists of like-minded individuals seeking community and advice as they follow the paleolithic or “paleo” diet and other low-carb diets.

“You go out to eat, and it can be difficult feeling like you’re the only one,” she said. “The group is this really strong community. We know each other, we watch each other’s progress, we share tips and books that we’ve read.”

Known as the Low-Carb and Paleo Support Group, the monthly meeting is run by Denver’s Diet Doctor at 7720 S. Broadway and facilitated by health care professionals Dr. Jeff Gerber, Erynn Kay and Jennifer Hooker.

Members give each other cooking and shopping tips and encouragement after days gone wrong, Spomer said.

The group showcases just one way low-carb dieters have come together as the trend establishes itself in the mainstream. Though some point to a falling number of Google searches for the term “paleo,” Spomer and Gerber hold that low-carb diets are hardly fading away — especially in Colorado, which ranks as the number one state for Google searches of the terms “paleo” and “keto.”

The keto diet — on which dieters sharply restrict carb intake to put the body into ketosis, a metabolic state in which stored body fat is used to produce energy — has particularly gained popularity. In January 2019, 11 times more users searched the term than in January 2017.

Spomer said the trend shows through attendance at Low Carb Denver, a March conference she volunteers with. The conference drew more than 800 individuals in 2019, as opposed to the roughly 300 who attended in 2016, she said.

For many, low-carb diets represents a treatment for chronic and lifealtering conditions — as was the case for Spomer, who has an autoimmune disease that left her with “no energy,” she said. “I would consume half as much as my family and gain half a pound a week.”

After trying different autoimmune protocol diets, Spomer landed on a low-carb paleo diet two years ago. She said she hasn’t experienced any of her symptoms since.

“Things got a lot better. People are shocked how much it helps,” she said.

“It changes everything.”

‘More than just food’ Popularized by former Colorado

The paleo diet is based on a foundation of foods like fish, meat, fruits, vegetables and most kinds of nuts.

POSSIBLE RISKS OF DIETS

DO’S AND DON’TS

While experts praise low-carb, high-fat diets like paleo and keto for their prioritization of natural foods and potential to instigate weight loss, the diets also present some possible health challenges, according to Mayo Clinic.

The paleo diet emphasizes cutting out processed foods and consuming a similar diet to that of humans’ ancestors. The diet can vary in number of restrictions and the intensity of those restrictions. However, those on the diet generally stick to these guidelines:

Because those on the paleo diet cut out whole grains and legumes, the dieters may be deficient in fiber, vitamins and some micronutrients, Mayo Clinic said. The diet also places restrictions on dairy products, which could lead to a calcium or protein deficiency.

Do eat: • Grass-fed lean meat or wild game

Dieters should be mindful of what types of fats, proteins and vitamins they are consuming. High-fat diets also put individuals at greater risk for kidney disease, heart disease and some cancers, according to University of California at Davis Health.

• Nuts (other than peanuts) and seeds

State University professor Loren Cordain’s 2010 book “The Paleo Diet,” the whole-food-based diet encourages mimicry of a human diet thousands of years ago — “the evolutionary way to look at nutrition,” Gerber said.

Gerber — who was certified in family medicine in 1991 and has been a healthcare provider in the area since 1993 — and those in his support group focus on a low-carb version of the diet. Strict followers do not eat sugar, grains, margarine, some dairy products and processed food. Instead, they eat natural foods, including meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit.

“It’s a little less carbs and a little more protein and fat,” he said. “A lowfat diet is the old school.”

Gerber often recommends whole food diets like paleo and keto to his patients, reminding them that choosing what to eat is just one part of the equation.

Chef Jami Fynboh agreed. In 2012, Fynboh and her husband, Derek, opened Denver-based mmm…COF-

“Paleo is more than just food; it’s a way of life,” she said. “It’s taking care of yourself, getting exercise and having time to relax.”

Fynboh has followed the paleo diet for eight years, with Derek joining in a year after her, the day they signed the lease for their paleo restaurant, she said.

Throughout years of businesses, she has watched customers develop a better understanding of the diet as all types of people give the lifestyle a try.

“We’ve had people who literally got off the plane at DIA and drove to us first,” she said. “They’re from all over.

People just want to take their power back and their health back.”

A variety of options While following the paleo diet can initially be difficult and requires some online research, she said, “it’s very easy once you know what you’re doing.”

Spomer and Gerber echoed the

Don’t eat: • Wheat and other grains • Legumes, including beans, lentils and peanuts • Dairy • Processed foods and refined sugar • Potatoes Source: Mayo Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-andhealthy-eating/in-depth/paleo-diet/ art-20111182) sentiment, highlighting that there are many different methods and levels of strictness on which to follow the diet.

Most on the diet can purchase any ingredients they need at stores like Costco or Walmart, they said.

“You don’t always have to eat on the top of the food chain of snobbery,” Gerber said. “You can make a meal at a restaurant paleo-friendly.”

Gerber suggested ordering burgers and sandwiches without a bun, choosing options low in sugar and asking if food is cooked with industrial seed oils, which are a certain type of vegetable oil.

Spomer and those in the support group have put these tips to the test many times, often going out to Red Robin after group meetings, she said.

She added that with group members from Boulder to Colorado Springs, who range in age from students to retirees, there’s no shortage of advice to be had in the group.

“It’s huge for new people, because low-carb is a learning curve,” she said.

“You have to be patient with yourself.

Light is unifying theme in exhibit at museum Painter Jane Guthridge recalls how Colorado caught her eye after move from Midwest

IF YOU GO “Play 0f Light: Works by Jane Guthridge” is at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton, through Aug. 25. Open during museum hours: Tuesday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Admission free. 303-7953950.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and darkness, that one thing against another creates.” — Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, “In Praise of Shadows.”

In the introductory comments beginning a catalog of her works, painter Jane Guthridge speaks of sun and shadow and how she works to capture the changing patterns. Guthridge recalled moving to Colorado from the Midwest “30-ish years ago” and immediately being struck by patterns of light — and clouds that cast shadows.

She manipulates materials and light from various sources to create “light forms” that suggest the effects of sunlight in nature — manipulating translucent film, reflective surfaces and color.

Walking into her solo exhibit, “Play of Light: Works by Jane Guthridge” at the Littleton Museum through August 25, has an immediate effect on a visitor — what a happy space this is! Floating installations move gently,

“Reflections of Light” is an installation in Jane Guthridge’s exhibit, “Play of Light” at the Littleton Museum.

COURTESY PHOTO shifting shadow patterns and reflections. Other works glow from walls and pedestals — some with intense color, while others present softer surfaces and hues, layered and framed — or freestanding.

At the gallery entrance is Guthridge’s installation “Suspended Light,” with a slender 120-inch rod holding airy, rounded, translucent shapes, strung on slender threads — their shifting shadows playing on a wall just behind them.

Step into the gallery past “Sus-

pended Light” to the right to find another intricately conceived installation called “Reflected Light: Littleton Museum.” Guthridge worked with Littleton Museum curators Moira Casey, Jennifer Hankinson and Kevin Oehler to install her works, adjusting lighting to reflect color, some mirrored surfaces — and of course, shadows — all constantly shifting.

Freestanding sculptural works are called “Kamorebi,” described as “an untranslatable word that captures the effect of sunlight streaming through

the leaves of trees.” They are made from highly polished steel, painted on one side, with cut-out patterns. Metal plates are shaped so lighting penetrates each work, affecting reflections and shadows — within and on its host surface.

The catalog shows other iterations of this work at different locations, each distinctive and mesmerizing.

Guthridge has cumulative experience that lets her predict the effect when all the pieces are assembled and properly lighted. The “Reflected Light” for instance, especially changes with each location.

Framed works include precisely cut pieces of Dura-Lar translucent plastic sheeting layered over colorful encaustic and archival inkjet prints on mulberry paper (textured paper, handmade from mulberry bark, widely used by artists for prints, collages, watercolors and other artworks).

One can view the exhibit as individual pieces and as a cumulative, sunny, whole experience. Certainly, more than one visit is in order to process it!

Bringing the Danceable band gets crowd on feet at summer concert

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Streets at SouthGlenn isn’t just for meandering around to shop on the weekend — a crowd that blanketed its central Commons Park area took in the energy of one of the outdoor mall’s free concerts on June 26.

Running through a list of disco, pop rock and dance-oriented songs — Earth, Wind and Fire’s “September” and Walk the Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance” among them — cover band Tunisia brought the young and old to their feet.

The free concert came as part of SouthGlenn’s Dancing in The Streets summer concert series, featuring local and regional bands on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month from June through August. The events run from 6:30-8 p.m.

Luke Weatherspoon and Jamie Shunk, decked in flashy purple outfits, pumped up crowd members, dancing with strangers and spreading their energy. The couple, of the Centennial area, go to events all over the Denver region, Weatherspoon said.

Shunk couldn’t stay in one place to be interviewed too long.

“I’ve got to entertain,” she said.

People in the crowd move to Tunisia’s dance-oriented set June 26 at The Streets at SouthGlenn. A few hundred people came to the event.

A spokesperson from Metro Wastewater said the company was not taking questions at this time because the plan is still pending EPA approval.

“This issue presents an opportunity to collaboratively implement a comprehensive regional plan that

prioritizes the full spectrum of public health factors,” reads a statement on the Metro Wastewater website. “By making smart infrastructure investments, like those Denver Water has recommended to CDPHE, we can maintain the top-quality drinking water we enjoy today while targeting and removing the source of lead contamination to permanently fix this critically important public health issue.”

Lochhead estimated that implementing orthophosphate into the Denver Water system would cost between $500 million and $700 million, as well as annual costs to purchase the additive.

Denver Water also had concerns about the environmental impact

orthophosphate would have. Many of the organization’s customers use water for their lawns, which ends up in local streams and rivers. Under the right conditions, this could cause accelerated algae growth. Falco said that it often takes time for those impacts to become apparent. Smaller utilities have not seen issues yet, but Falco added that Denver Water is one of the largest water providers in the state.

Denver Water worked with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, as well as Metro Wastewater and environmental groups to come up with an alternative solution, and developed the lead pipe removal plan. If approved, it will be the largest

removal program in the United States.

If the EPA does not approve the plan, Denver Water will begin implementing orthophosphate into its system in March 2020. Falco said that Denver Water has already been working with Public Health to prepare for implementation next year.

Lochhead said he thinks that the removal plan is safest. Instead of mitigating the issue through additives, the pipes are replaced altogether.

“The water that we have in our system in safe. It’s a plumbing issue in the system that needs to be corrected,” he said. “We think what we are proposing is more protective of public health.”

Summit hopes to change mental health approaches STAFF REPORT

A two-day summit aims to disrupt outdated approaches to mental health by bringing in experts to produce an integrated mental health model that focuses on the whole person.

The National Summit for Mental Health and Mental Fitness: Practical Solutions for Creating a Culture of Peace, hosted by The International Association of Human Values and America Meditates, is July 23-24 at East High School in Denver. The event concludes with a meditation session at City Park.

More than 46 million Americans experience mental illness every given year. If left untreated, those illnesses can cause tremendous suffering to those impacted and their families and cost the U.S. almost $200 billion a year, the news release said.

The summit brings together experts from diverse fields to build a holistic

approach for faster interventions, lower-cost treatments and efficient ways to curb violence and crimes through mental health prevention.

Experts will discuss and present integrated strategies that enhance positive emotions, life satisfaction and spirituality while addressing biological, cultural and economic approaches to treating mental health.

“We’re bringing together incredible thought leaders, change makers and influencers to share their gifts, their ideas, their innovation,” Katherine Winter-Sellery, chairwoman of America Meditates and the summit, said in the release. “Never has there been a better time to open the dialogue about critical issues in mental health and collaborate across silos, to build innovative solutions, and to address mental illness and SEE TASK FORCE, P21

The Bible Speaks – progress Projects underway by Littleton Public Schools are said to be a “Work in Progress” in the June 20th Littleton Independent headline. These projects will provide facilities for the present & future educational needs of LPS students.

A similar “work in progress” is needed in Christians. Both the present & the future require a believer to be ready to meet the growing challenges & opposition of an increasingly secular society. Are we steeling ourselves with Biblical principles, divine viewpoint, moral absolutes & true answers to respond accurately to human principles, secular viewpoint, moral relativism & false assumptions boldly promulgated by media, schools, politicians & even some religious institutions?

Christians, saturate yourselves with Bible verses. Pastors, teach, edify, and strengthen your flock with sound doctrine relevant to today’s issues. Parents, feed & guard your children spiritually as well as physically. Doing this is real progress. hfsmail@basicisp.net

LOCAL

SPORTS This sport is the real dill

Pickleball offers more than recreation, socialization

Donnie Gallegos and his wife Patty are mixeddoubles players who compete in many of the local and regional pickleball tournaments.

Donnie said pickleball can be competitive.

“You have beginners and then you get super-serious and supercompetitive players like any other sport,” he said.

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

James Pinkel, 69, of Centennial, plays pickleball three or four days a week against a variety of players at the Lone Tree Recreation Center.

“There are some who show up to really play the game,” Pinkel said.

“Some people are here to say ‘hi’ and if they play a game and lose, no big deal. The sport is getting more competitive and we do have much younger people coming in that can just beat the pants off me.”

The sport with a curious name has exploded in popularity. In addition to be considered a fun, recreational game, pickleball has grown into a seriously competitive outlet for many. Today, the sport even has professional players.

“No question, there is competition — and at all ages,” said Don Siegel, director for two tournaments at the Apex Center in Arvada.

There has been a 650% increase in players over the past six years, according to the USA Pickleball Association. There were 3.1 million players in 2018, according to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association.

Numerous tournaments are scheduled in Colorado this summer, including competitions in Englewood and Arvada.

Pickleball is particularly popular among seniors. The Sports and Fitness Industry Association reports that 43% of players are 65 years old or older.

The sport includes elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis.

It’s played with paddles and a plastic ball with holes in it on a 20-foot by 44-foot badminton-size court. It can be played indoors or outdoors, doubles or singles.

Siegel believes pickleball gives former athletes another chance to compete later in life, but it is also drawing interest from younger generations.

“Commonly, people looked at it as a senior sport, but you are seeing some of the younger tennis players come over and literally change the sport.

“Anybody that is truly an ambassador for the sport is happy that the younger generation is acknowledging that this is a fast-paced, aggressive game. It’s like any sport, it can be played aggressively, and very competitively … We’ve got some really competitive 70 (year-old) plus players and others that are here to have a good time, smile and laugh.

That’s one of the many beauties of

the sport.”

Ryan Daberkow, an athletics coordinator for South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, said he wouldn’t necessarily label the sport as becoming more competitive.

“It’s just a growing sport in general,” said Daberkow. “People from all age groups are taking an interest in the sport. You get a mixture of skill levels.”

But Drew Wathey of the USA Pickleball Association says the competitive level has increased.

“As the popularity has increased, it attracts ex-tennis players,” said Wathey, who estimates there are now in the neighborhood of 125 professional players.

“The pro division is swelling.

Prize money is increasing. Winners can win as much as $2,500 to $3,000.

It reminds me of the old Virginia Slims tennis circuit, where they would play for peanuts. We are seeing 10- and 12-year-old kids in some

of our tournaments and players in their 80s.”

Colorado has its share of elite pickleball players.

Scott Moore, of Colorado Springs, is the No.1 50-plus senior male player in the world and is a 12-time USAPA gold medalist.

Moore has mastered a sport in which placement and spin are more vital to success than power and speed.

Julie Quisenberry, 76, says the older generation enjoys the competition as much as younger players.

“It can get competitive,” said Quisenberry, who recently was playing at the Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. “We like to keep score. We sort it out among ourselves. There are all kinds of players. One night I played against a 23-year-old kid.

“I like the socializing. You meet new people. I started playing five years ago for exercise but it was so

Three men — Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum — are credited with inventing pickleball on Bainbridge Island, Washington, near Seattle, in 1965, according to the USA Pickleball Association. The men were looking for a way to help their families combat boredom, and they developed a game on a badminton court, using table tennis paddles and a plastic ball.

One possible reason it became known as pickleball was because the Pritchards had a dog named Pickles that liked to chase the ball used in the new game, according to the association.

Another theory: “According to Joel Pritchard’s wife (Joan), she started calling the game pickleball because ‘the combination of different sports reminded me of the pickle boat in crew where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats,’” the association’s website states.

For more on the game and its origin, go to www.usapa.org. much fun. I was teaching as a substitute but I quit to play pickleball.”

Littleton couple Patty Gallegos, 54, and Donnie Gallegos, 52, play singles, doubles and mixed doubles in many tournaments around the region.

Competition is one of the reasons.

“We started playing and got addicted to it,” Patty Gallegos said.

“In the competitive world of pickleball, there is a whole community of pickleball players. You can play for fun or also get into the side of it that is very competitive.”

IN THEIR BUSINESS Laboratory adds staff Infinity Laboratories, a full-service chemical and microbiological contract laboratory based in Castle Rock, has added staff members to the company’s expanding team and recently expanded and purchased Ultimate Labs in San Diego.

“We are also excited to announce some amazing new hires, and one internal promotion, all of whom are dedicated to our bedrock principles of excellence, integrity, and quality,” Daniel Henderson, president and chief executive officer of Infinity Laboratories, said in a news release.

Sergey Boytsov was named chief operation officer and chief information officer. He will oversee all internal operational and IT activities.

Greg Rhead was named vice president of quality and regulatory and will oversee all global quality governance and initiatives.

Gary Doucette is now vice president of sales and will oversee all sales and customer service teams.

Cooking studio to open Flour Power Kids Cooking Studios will open its first studio in Colorado this summer. The Highlands Ranch location will be owned and operated

by Chris Logue and Shaylee Smith, a mother-daughter team of Colorado natives. The studio will offer handson culinary experiences for children and adults.

With a background in early childhood education, Logue and Smith were drawn to the experiential aspects of the Flour Power philosophy, they said in a news release. The

studio will offer birthday parties, weekly classes, full-day camps, kids night out and special events.

“Our studios are constantly adding new culinary programming for children designed to help them be more mindful of making smart and healthy eating choices while learning lifelong skills in the kitchen,” Susan Caldwell, founder and CEO of the company, said in the news release. “Cooking teaches children so much, including reading, math, science and chemistry.”

Flour Power studios also offer a variety of events for adults, including special events, themed classes, birthday parties, and corporate team-building events.

Local brewery changes hands Brewability Lab and The Brew on Broadway announce the purchase of The BoB and name change of Brewability Lab to Brewability on Broadway. The sale is expected to be finalize by July 31.

Brewability employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to brew and serve craft beer.

It is the only brewery in the United States with this model, according to a news release.

Brewability opened in 2016 at the original Caution Brewing space in northeast Denver. Its new location at 3445 S. Broadway in Englewood is more accessible, the release said.

Brewability plans to maintain and grow community outreach events developed by The BoB, according to the news release. It also plans to add its food service to the South Broadway location.

A going-away party for The Brew on Broadway is planned for July 27. The BoB opened July 6, 2013, on South Broadway and has brewed its interpretations of English-style ales.
