More than 1,000 gather to honor MacKenzie Forrest, who died in car crash

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Christ on the Mountain Church seats about 600 people in the nave and can provide another 600 seats between its basement and an outside tent area.

And yet, on March 17, a gray afternoon that barely rose above freezing, it was standing room-only to honor MacKenzie Anne Forrest, who died after injuries sustained in a March 13 car crash.

The Lakewood High School senior and basketball player was a month away from her 18th birthday and had planned to attend Regis University in the fall.

“MacKenzie was generous with the ball — she wasn’t a ball hog,” said Father

David Allen in his sermon. “She was generous, on the court and off. Our faith tells us she won’t stop loving us in death, and I believe she won’t stop being generous — she’ll still be there to help us when we need.”

The blocks surrounding the Green Mountain church were packed with cars. Buses brought in students to pay their respects. The overflow tent spilled

Middle school students honored Their films on texting while driving and fracking win amid 2,887 submissions

By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two teams of students at Bell Middle School in Golden might not have won any school awards for their documentaries, but that’s what makes being honorable mentions in C-SPAN’s national 2016 StudentCam competition all the more surprising.

“None of us expected to get anything,” student Ella Ganter said. “So when we did, it was really exciting.”

The annual StudentCam competition is sponsored by the C-SPAN Education Foundation and is in its 12th year. The competition invites middle-and-high schoolers to produce a five- to seven-minute documentary on a national policy issue.

The winning documentaries from Bell Middle School are “Fracking Water Consumption,” by Ganter, Chloe Henry and Addie Miller; and “Texting while Driving,” by Audrey Pino, Katarina Chaffee and Jade Garcia. The groups won $250 each for their honorable mention honors.

It is the second year that Bell students have been recognized in the C-SPAN competition.

Jeffco school district’s three recent lockdowns reflect necessary response to safety

By Crystal Anderson Canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com On Dec. 15, an Evergreen High School student made threatening comments that sparked concern among students and staff.

In February, a Northglenn High School student took pictures of Arvada K-8 and threatened over text and social media to enter the school with a gun.

On March 1, a student brought a BB gun to North Arvada Middle School in a backpack, scaring students who reported it to school staff.

In all three incidents, the schools were immediately locked down — a security measure that prevents anyone from entering or leaving the building. No one was injured in any of the incidents.

Although three lockdowns in a few months may seem like a high number, according to the Jefferson County School District it actually is on par with the amount seen over the past five years.

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

JOSH NORTON

Head brewer at Golden City Brewery Putting smiles on faces I’m head brewer at Golden City Brewery. I’ve been brewing here for a little over a year-and-a-half, but recently the head brewer left, and I got that promotion near the end of February.

I’ve been professionally brewing for about three years. I like everything about brewing — the physical work and making something that I can enjoy afterwards. And I like making people happy. I love seeing people in the beer garden with smiles on their faces, enjoying the beer that I made.

Starting off in the industry When I first moved back to Colorado in 2004, I was looking for a job. I had a friend working at Flying Dog Brewery in Denver, and he got me a job on the bottling line.

That kind of started my career off, as far as beer goes.

Then, in 2007, I went back to doing construction and maintenance tech work for a

leasing company. But in 2011, they laid me off and I did odd jobs for a couple of years.

One day, I went to Brewery Rickoli in Wheat Ridge and I met Rick Abitbol — that’s the owner and brewmaster — had some of the best beer that I had tasted. And I’ve tasted a lot. But I liked Rick’s beers so much that I kept bugging him to teach me to brew.

First solo brew I like brewing all beers, but mainly IPAs. It’s fun brewing all kinds of beers because all recipes are different.

I’ve brewed lots of other people’s recipes, but the Imperial Red I’m brewing is my first solo creation. It is a hoppy, fruity, citrus-y IPA. It’s a West Coast-style IPA. I think people will really enjoy it. Especially at Golden City Brewery — people like their IPAs here.

Colorado’s beer scene I was born in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. I’m 41. I’ve lived in Colorado since 1982. My girlfriend, Devon Adams, and I have lived in Evergreen for about five years now. We met when I worked at Flying Dog — she was a tour guide there.

I love Colorado’s beer scene. I’ve been to 383 different breweries, mostly in Colorado, but some out of state, too. It’s a close-knit community of people who get along really well. The industry is like a big family. You can go across the country and be welcome with open arms.

Six stations are carefully laid out on the low tables in the classroom: Hammers, nails and a board.

Rulers, pencils and measuring instructions.

Saws and work gloves.

A power drill, screwdrivers and goggles.

Handmade, paper dictionaries for simple machine-related words.

Wooden pinball machines.

The 25 second- and third-graders circled on the rug around their teacher, Judy Racine, punch their arms excitedly into the air to answer the question she poses: “Who can tell me what our learning target is today?”

Jasmine: “I can practice using different tools safely.”

“So what would that look like if you’re successful?” Judy asks.

Dawson: “Not cutting off your hand with a saw.”

Program to ease work transition could be continued Bill to help veterans, the poor and noncustodial parents find jobs passes through House committee

By Crystal Anderson Canderson@colorado communitymedia.com A bill reauthorizing a transitional work program to help veterans, people over 50 in poverty and noncustodial parents find permanent work is swiftly moving through the Colorado House.

“Unemployment is 3.2 percent right now, which is really exciting,” said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp (D-Arvada), who is co-sponsoring the bill with Rep. Daneya Esgar

4

(D-Pueblo). “But when you look at that 3.2 percent, there is a group of people who just can’t get employment and we need to find a way to help these people get jobs.”

In an 8-5 vote, the Business Affairs and Labor Committee passed the ReHire bill, which if approved in the Senate, will extend the program until 2021. ReHire targets individuals who are having a particularly tough time finding employment, whether because of prior convictions, health problems, addictions or a lack of resources, or connections to employers in their communities.

The bill now moves to the House appropriations committee.

Funded by the state, ReHire works directly with nonprofits

and small businesses. The program partners the two together to help participants gain necessary resources, job skills and employment while giving employers an opportunity to try out an employee at no additional cost.

Crystal Bernal, a mother from Pueblo who testified before the committee, can attest to the program’s success.

After temporarily losing custody of her children through what she called “a traumatic event,” she was referred to ReHire by a social worker. She began the program in October 2014, graduated three months later and found a custodial job at a senior living apartment complex. She also regained custody of her children.

“To be given that second

chance to prove yourself to your employer, to society, to your children,” Bernal said, “it means a lot.”

But not all legislators support the bill.

“Colorado’s current unemployment rate of 3.2 percent is well below the national average of 4.9 percent,” wrote Rep. Lang Sias (R-Arvada), in an email response to questions about why he chose to vote against the bill.

“Given these dramatically improving conditions, the projected cost of the program ($3.6 million over the next two years) and a very tight budget environment (including a negative factor for our public schools),” he wrote, “I don’t believe that now is an appropriate time to be using tax-

payer dollars to subsidize wages for private industry.”

Kraft-Tharp, however, says the program’s successes make it worthwhile.

“This program works, even if you don’t like the government helping out,” she said in response to some of the bill’s critics. “If something’s working, you should give it a shot.”

More than 1,100 individuals have passed through the program since its inception in 2013 — 77 percent of who gained permanent employment, Kraft-Tharp and Esgar said.

“This is a program that absolutely every single day makes a difference,” she said. “People are actually being able to get back to work.”

Beautiful Lakewood Home on 1/2-Acre Lot with Creek

This home at 825 Crescent Lane $450,000 is just one block from the Lakewood Country Club. Lakewood Gulch, the year-round stream that runs through the Country Club, also runs through this home’s half-acre lot, making for a terrific backyard environment. As you’ll see from the narrated video tour and still photos at this home’s website, www.LakewoodHome.info, the gulch has been beautifully rebuilt by the City of Lakewood, and your mortgage lender will not require you to purchase flood insurance.

Among the standout features of this home is its magnificently updated country kitchen, extra large formal dining room, radiant floor heating, second master suite in the walk-out basement, and an amazing model train room in which the full-room train layout raises to the ceiling when you want to use the room for other purposes. (This is demonstrated on the video tour mentioned above.) Another feature not found in many homes is a fully equipped workshop, also shown on the video tour.

Built in 1945, this home has been beautifully updated, is in a great location, and will probably sell quickly. I’m holding it open this Saturday, 1 to 4 p.m. Come and see what I mean!

Home Combines Quiet Location With Access to Amenities

This home at 12095 W. 35th Avenue is located in the Applewood area of Wheat Ridge, a few blocks east of the Applewood Shopping Center on Youngfield Street. Despite its ready access of I-70 and the mountains, it’s a quiet neighborhood with little through traffic. It’s a traditional bi-level home with an oversized 2-car garage and two bedrooms/one bath on the lower level and three bedrooms plus living room, dining room and kitchen on the upper level. It’s on a corner lot measuring nearly a quarter acre.

You’ll get a sense of its location and lot size when you view the narrated video tour (including drone footage) at its website, www.ApplewoodHome.info. There are no HOA dues. Lewis Meadows Park with Lena Gulch running through it is only a block away. Open house this Saturday, 1-4 pm. $395,000

The project, this time, is simple machines.

The books on the shelves, the vocabulary words on the walls, the geometry placards on the windows and the questions tacked around the classroom all come back to simple machines.

The end product — the meaningful outcome of about six weeks of study — is a wooden pinball machine built by students in groups of three, which will be demonstrated to family and friends in a formal presentation and then given to several charity organizations.

Judy Racine, just months away from her last day of teaching after 40 years in the classroom, always thinks about the end result to her lessons.

“I really have to make sure everything I do is meaningful and has purpose with the kids . . . so they see the purpose behind what they’re doing,” she says. “Learning has to be meaningful, purposeful and authentic.”

In the case of simple machines, that means students are “understanding how force in motion is either a push or pull. . . .

They may not see it at that moment. But we bring in the language all the time, keep the end product always in mind.”

She knows she’s done a good job when curiosity spurs students to ask questions — probing questions. Or when parents tell her how their children couldn’t stop talking at the dinner table about what they’d done in class that day.

“They’re transferring what they’re doing in the classroom to a bigger world,” Judy says.

Judy, who turns 65 on April 1, has taught for the past 20 years at the Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning in South Denver. Supported by five school districts — Aurora, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County and Littleton — and the nonprofit Public Education and Business Coalition, the school incorporates principles of Outward Bound into its curriculum. It’s built around multidisciplinary learning expeditions that take students at least once a week on in-depth field trips and culminate in projects that pull all the learning together.

Those expeditions into the real world, and the project that is shared with the community — allowing them to be “experts” in that particular area — are key ingredients in a recipe for successful learning, Judy says.

“Learning has to be active as well as challenging,” she says. “Students have to be pushed out of their comfort zone. And when they know that they’re learning is public — that they have an audience . . . ,” the motivation to learn steps up a notch.

Jos can’t wait for exhibition night to show off the pinball machine her group will have built.

“We learn how to build simple machines,” she says, as she searches for an explanation of the word axle in a book, then writes her own definition in her dictionary.

“The world,” her partner Lucy notes, “is made up of simple machines.”

“We are,” Jos adds matter-of-factly, “kind of simple machines.”

“Fridays for Judy” started at the beginning of the school year: Tickets to see one of her favorite bands and “The Nutcracker” ballet.

A bottle of wine.

Flowers.

Gift cards for coffee, to restaurants, to the movies.

Dinners to bring home.

Letters of gratitude.

A teacher who worked with Judy but is

now at another school suggested the idea as a way for the community to celebrate Judy all year long. The gifts arrive just about every week.

“In August, we sent out emails to all families and staff and made an online signup . . . so people could choose how to thank Judy in their own style,” parent Jennifer Eure said.

Eure’s son, Gavin, is in Judy’s class now.

Her older son also had her as a teacher. She is grateful, Eure says, for that good fortune.

“Judy has inspired both of my children to enjoy reading, to ask questions and think more deeply,” she says. “She creates a structured and joyful classroom environment where all of her students feel safe to be themselves, to push themselves and take risks in their learning.”

Amy Weisbrot, a learning specialist who has worked with Judy for five years, believes her most important quality as a teacher is her ability to let kids be kids.

“She is so passionate about the importance of play in the classroom and letting kids learn through their own self discovery,” Weisbrot said. “She helped me realize how important it is to let kids have time to create, to be creative and really dream big . . . and then to believe in their big dreams.”

The education world today sometimes forgets that big dream, Judy says — the recognition that learning shouldn’t be dissected into isolated pieces of standards that should be taught here and objectives that should be met there.

Those are important and necessary components to guiding the teaching experience. But in the intense push for performance and evaluative metrics, she says, the big picture, the “wholeness” of a child is often overshadowed.

Take, for instance, reading. The guiding goal, Judy says, should simply be: “Children should become strong learners who love to read and adore books for a lifetime.”

Good teaching is instinctive, too.

“You have to know when to turn off the lights and put everything away and have a dance party,” Judy says — “or know when to push it.”

Ah, the dance parties.

During snack time after recess, it’s not uncommon to walk into Judy’s room and J find kids taking turns at deejay and Judy in the middle of the pack, dancing to Bob Marley, String Cheese Incident or the Beatles, which many of her students have come to love.

“It’s my favorite time to walk into Judy’s room,” Weisbrot says, “so I can join in on the boogie.”

• • • Groups of students huddle around the various tables, focused on the task before them. Every 10 minutes they switch to a new station. They hammer nails and turn screws and saw notches into boards. They measure and ask questions and exclaim in surprise. A current of purpose and curiosity pulses through the room.

“This is really cool,” says Ainsley, a blue cap on her head, as she tries out the pinball machine, a larger version of what she is working on. “I like that we’re going to be building our own. Playing with them is pretty awesome.”

Across the room, Judy helps Ryder steady the power drill, then blows away the shavings on the board.

“Wow,” she says, rubbing her fingers across the hole, “that’s great.”

Over on a rug, Jos is working on her dictionary.

She is talking about why she likes her class.

“I love Judy,” she says. “I wish she wouldn’t retire. She finds out how to have fun while learning.”

Jos pauses. Then: “We are kids.”

And, as Judy would say, that’s the most essential ingredient to remember.

Safety Continued from Page 1

“This year, we’re trending about the same, but we’ve had all three cases in a month and a half,” said John McDonald, Jeffco’s executive director of security and emergency management. “They’ve all been really legitimate issues where we had concern and safety of our students.”

A lockdown is the securing of a school and its surroundings when an imminent threat is present inside or outside the school. All teaching and professional operations stop, students and staff are repeatedly notified to lock down by locking classroom doors, turning off lights and keeping out of the sightline of windows as district staff and police respond to the threat.

Often, vehicle and walking traffic are also blocked or rerouted around the school.

Lockdowns — a school’s highest form of protection as well as one of the last resorts in times of crisis — is one of three safety protocols that the school district practices throughout the school year to prepare for a time when the sitiuation is real. School security has become a focal emphasis for districts with the increasingly frequent number of fatal school shootings, including six in Colorado since 1981. Three of those occurred in Jeffco.

“Our community wouldn’t tolerate it if we we’re wrong,” McDonald said. “We need to do everything to keep our kids safe.”

District policy states any adult may call a lockdown of a building in cases where a weapon is identified in someone’s possession, the building

SHOOTINGS AT JEFFERSON COUNTY SCHOOLS Jeffco schools has had three shootings in 34 years: 1982 — Deer Creek Middle School: A 14-year-old was shot and killed at the school by his classmate while they were shooting prairie dogs in the school’s bicycle storage area.

1999 — Columbine High School: Two students opened fire at the school, killing 13 people and injuring 20 others. The two students died by suicide immediately after.

2010 — Deer Creek Middle School: A man, reported to be mentally unstable, opened fire with a hunting rifle and injured two eighth-grade students, both of whom survived the attack.

WHERE TO GO FOR HELP Safe 2 Tell program: A hotline students can call if they see and/or hear of something that could threaten the safety of a student or the school. Once a call is received, the district, principal and the area’s law enforcement teams are notified so they can work together to triage the report.

Annually Jeffco schools is the program’s No. 1 user. This year, the hotline has fielded more than 500 calls from students.

Hotline: 1-877-542-7233 www.safe2tell.org is actively engaged with a threat, or a person on site is threatening someone or the building. Jeffco schools must undergo monthly fire drills and have two emergency drills — either a lockdown or lockout — per year to teach students and staff how to respond in such a situation. (A lockout occurs when the perceived threat is outside the school and is not considered imminent. It prevents anyone from entering or leaving the building, but classes and work continues as normal.)

“Any emergency is managed best when all parties remain calm and follow their training ... which is exactly what occurred at North Arvada,” said Sohne Van Selus, principal at North Arvada Middle School, which locked down March 1 when a student brought a BB gun

to school. “Every situation is different — unique — which is why we conduct drills at a variety of times during the day.”

All three students involved in the recent lockdowns were arrested but McDonald would not elaborate on specific charges. The charge on one student was dismissed, he said.

Typically, a lockdown, once called, occurs at the building within 30 seconds, McDonald said.

After being locked down, the district’s dispatch station notifies law enforcement, the district security team and communications office, then parents — all within 10 minutes of the occurrence.

A lockdown typically lasts three to five hours, depending on the situation.

DIFFERENT SAFETY DRILLS Fire: where students are evacuated at varying points in the day through specified routes to ensure safety in the case of a fire.

Number of lockdowns in the past five years:

Lockout: where students and staff are brought inside the building, all doors are locked but teaching and work continues as normal. Students and staff are not allowed to leave the building until law enforcement gives the all clear.

Lockdown: where students and staff are brought inside, doors are locked and all work ceases. Lights are turned off, and students and staff are instructed to get out of sight in their classrooms. *Jeffco uses the Standard Response Protocols and the Standard Reunification Method that are developed and revised by the I Love U Guys Foundation, a nonprofit set up by John Michael Keys following the death of his daughter, Emily Keys, during a shooting at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey in 2006. nity, key to any lockdown situation, is often the most challenging because of accessibility to technology, McDonald and Van Selus said.

Students — including kindergartners — have cellphones and iPods, which allows them to text, send Snapchats, tweet and post information from within schools walls, often faster than the district can send out accurate communication.

“For their safety, the expectation is that students are silent, in the dark and out of sight. Yet, in today’s ‘plugged-in’ world, we would be remiss to think students are not going to use their cellphones,” Van Selus said. Her school is working to train students to use the Remind 101 one-way communication app, which in an emergency situation forwards district communications to students that may be forwarded onto parents.

“These kids are digital natives, and we’re digital immigrants,” McDonald said. “When a kid has a device in their hand, they can put out information faster than we can and, sometimes, they’re saying

two completely different things.”

During crisis situations, emotions are heightened and perception of what’s happening can be far different from reality, McDonald added. He recalled a time where he knocked on a classroom door to ensure students were safe and a student tweeted “I hear gunshots” outside the classroom.

For parents, like Hackberry Hill parent and PTA President Shawna Fritzler, the miscommunication is frustrating because the news that your child’s school is on lockdown is scary news.

“When it’s your baby still inside, it’s flat out terrifying,” she said, noting the number of calls she received in early March during North Arvada’s lockdown. Hackberry Hill is a North Arvada feeder school. “It’s difficult when the district sends out communications, and if it’s not worded just right, it can send out the wrong message.”

That delay in the communications process is nearly unavoidable because it takes longer to get the various enti-

*Jeffco schools are required to perform monthly fire drills and two emergency drills, such as a lockdown, per year. ties on scene than it takes students to communicate with their devices, McDonald said.

District officials will continue to refine that process, McDonald said, in their effort to improve safety for their students.

There’s always something more to learn: McDonald’s staff, for instance, tracks and monitors all school shootings throughout the world to understand the latest security responses and trends.

The ultimate goal is keeping students safe.

With that in mind, students, school staff, security personnel and law enforcement undergo training throughout the year — such as for lockdowns — to perfect response to emergency situations.

“People see lockdowns as a general trend. They’re hypersensitive to mass shootings and school shootings — it’s the threat of our time,” McDonald said. “You practice today so you can respond tomorrow. And if you can keep everyone safe, then you have success.”

Construction to begin on new Jeffco Open Space trail Jefferson County Open Space and Jefferson County Road and Bridge is partnering to build a new trail to connect Matthews/Winters Park with the Woolly Mammoth Lot. The project will also improve safety for visitors crossing County Road 93 to the Dakota Hogback.

Construction is slated to begin in late

March and is expected to be complete by June. Trails are expected to remain open during construction.

In the first phase of construction, a 10-foot-wide concrete trail will be built to extend from the park entry road north to the Woolly Mammoth Lot by the Interstate 70 off-ramp. Next, a median and crossing lights will be installed on County Road 93 to connect the new trail on the west to Dakota Ridge Trail on the east.

Road and Bridge will also create a designated turn lane into the park. Jeffco Open Space will install an information kiosk along Dakota Ridge Trail.

over with students, parents, teachers and family friends — so many that tent flaps had to be rolled up so mourners outside the tent could see the screens on which the service from inside the church was being livestreamed.

It was as if the community was one shattered heart at her loss, and everyone she knew was a piece.

“You’re all here because you loved Mac. You loved her unique ability to make others feel good,” said Jim Efaw, a Forrest family neighbor and pastor, in his eulogy. “Her death serves as a wake-up call for all of us about what is really important in life.”

Forrest lost control of a 1997 Toyota 4Runner at about 3:30 a.m.

March 13 while traveling eastbound on Interstate 70 near Frisco, according to the Colorado State Patrol. The trooper report indicates Forrest had not been wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but the state patrol says alcohol is suspected.

In the overflow tent, some dressed in the dark colors of mourning.

Others wore their team jerseys, and a few wore the jersey of NBA player Stephen Curry, her favorite basketball player. But splashed among the dark

and global problem solving and critical thinking,” she said, “which will positively impact not only their future, but the future of others.”

This year, C-SPAN received 2,887 submissions from nearly 6,000 students in 45 states and Washington, D.C. iSTEM teacher Brian Van Voorhees started the Goldies event at Bell Middle in 2013 for parents and fellow classmates to recognize students’ outstanding achievements.

The documentaries shown at the Goldies are a school assignment, but the students are also encouraged to submit their documentaries to the StudentCam national competition.

The documentaries for the Goldies also must answer the question provided by C-SPAN. This year’s theme was “Road to the White House: What’s the issue you most want candidates to discuss during the 2016 presidential campaign?”

“With the presidential campaign in the forefront of people’s minds, we wanted to hear from students across the country about the issues that matter to them,” said Craig McAndrew, C-SPAN’s manager of education relations, in a media release. “StudentCam provides these young people, many of whom are too young to vote, with a platform to express their opinions and have

hues was the bright orange of Lakewood High School’s colors — in a bow in a girl’s hair, on a Lakewood High School shirt, or in a ribbon pinned to a jacket.

“I hope people learn to never be afraid to show who they really are, to wear clothes that truly represent their personality,” said senior McKenna Bishop, a teammate of Forrest’s. “Mac wore some crazy vibrant socks and one of the tightest buns in her hair that I have ever seen. And she rocked it. So don’t be afraid to go all out and truly represent yourself.”

In her teammates, friends and family’s lives, Forrest was always there when they needed someone to listen to them or cheer them up, Efaw said.

“She would so often send texts out to people just to encourage them,” he said. “She demonstrated the impact our words and deeds have on others.”

Besides Efaw, Kenny VanRyn, coach of the Boulder Rockies club basketball team to which Forrest belonged, also eulogized Forrest.

“I’m so thankful to Mac’s parents, family and all of you — you all helped shape her into the beautiful person she was,” VanRyn said. “The lasting image I have of her is that smile.

When she flashed that smile at you, your heart just melted.”

Efaw puzzled over why Forrest was driving at 3 a.m. the night of the crash and why she wasn’t wearing her seatbelt.

“We will probably never know why she was out then ...,” he said. “But their voices heard.”

The question is “focused around the government, so it’s perfect for the eighth-grade curriculum,” Van Voorhees said.

Each documentary must address the C-SPAN question with a different focus, which should be a topic the students are passionate about, Van Voorhees said. Emphasis on creativity and “going beyond the school walls” for the documentaries also is important.

Students in groups of two or three produced 20 to 25 documentaries for the Goldies this year.

“The quality of all the films was outstanding,” Van Voorhees said.

“There was an amazing caliber of work. They just ran with it.”

But the process wasn’t without challenges.

For “Fracking Water Consumption,” students had to interview four people and include pro- and antifracking viewpoints, Henry said.

“We didn’t know what to say when they denied us” an interview, she said of several prospective sources.

But Colorado School of Mines was an easily accessible resource because of personal connections.

“We really learned how to be professional over the phone and with e-mails,” Miller said.

Similarly, “Texting while Driving” faced challenges with interviews.

The girls in the group believed it important to interview Scott Tibbitts, who created a device that prevents texts, calls and data coming through when a person is driving,

‘LIL MAC’ PLEDGE In the March 13 accident that killed MacKenzie Forrest, Colorado State Patrol report indicated she had not been wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car. To prevent this from happening to others, the Forrest family has started the Little Mac Pledge.

“The pledge is to always wear a seatbelt no matter where you’re going or how far or close where you’re going is,” senior and teammate Marisela Perez said. “It is so incredibly important.”

Seatbelts are mandatory for all drivers and front-seat passengers under Colorado law. whatever happened that night, it doesn’t define her.”

Chris Lake came to the service because his daughter met Forrest when she was 4 years old.

“I hope people learn from Mac the power one person can have on thousands,” he said, “the power light has over dark — and even in death there is still hope.”

For her peers, Forrest’s death brought home the unpredictable reality of life.

“I hope that this made people promise to always wear a seatbelt, no matter what,” said LHS junior Chantal Galindo after the service. “I hope people learn to never ever take life for granted.”

THEY SAID IT Texting while Driving” “I want to thank my group for all the late nights spent in creating our video.” — Audrey Pino “It was really cool to learn about the topic of texting and driving — we only scratched the surface in our film.” — Katarina Chaffee “Thank you to everyone who helped us in the production of our video because we worked extremely hard.”

— Jade Garcia “Fracking Water Consumption” “I’m very proud of our group for making this far. We worked really hard.”

— Addie Miller “We had our ups and downs throughout the video process. But we were always supporting each other, and we ended up having a great experience.” — Ella Ganter “My group did an awesome job in creating this video, and I couldn’t be prouder.” — Chloe Henry

Garcia said.

Tibbitts lives in Boulder, so the girls had to travel for the interview.

And not only that, Tibbitts was preparing to travel out of state for an interview with a national television news network.

“We had a half hour to interview with him,” Pino said, “and we took every second of that time.”

Consuming one sugary beverage per day can add an extra 39 pounds of sugar in a person’s diet each year.

And that can translate into some deadly results: According to Jefferson County Public Health, an adult or

child who drinks one sugary beverage each day has a 25 percent increase in risk of contracting Type 2 diabetes, a 33 percent higher risk of dying from heart disease and a 55 percent higher risk of being overweight.

The health department reports that, in Jeffco, 28 percent of adults and 19.1 percent of children are Snaks continues on Page 11

drinking at least one sugary beverage every day.

Which is why the department’s health initiative is tackling the issue head-on this year through its Jeffco Community Health Improvement Network, which aims to make healthy choices easier for county workers and residents.

“To get a society to change, it’s easier to take small steps,” said Nancy Braden, Jefferson County Public Health’s communications manager. “We’re doing what we can to provide a healthier environment.”

The Community Health Improvement Network focuses on improving healthy eating, active living and psychosocial well-being, with a spotlight on low-income families with children. Partners in the network include schools, nonprofits, medical organizations, faith communities, government organizations, community members, students, scouting organizations and other sectors.

A first step in reducing the number of sugary drinks consumed is to assess their accessibility to the public.

And that’s where the Healthy Beverage Coalition comes in. Part of the overall network, it began free vending assessments March 1.

As of mid-March, 19 vending machines in three organizations had been assessed. The coalition is working with municipalities such as city government buildings, recreation and community centers and youth-serving organizations.

“An easy way to begin improving access to

nutritious food and drink options is looking at areas where much of the public is already” gathering, said Allison Wilson, the health department’s healthy beverage and food coordinator. “We wanted to choose places that have a huge public impact.”

But, she added, a small business of 50 people wouldn’t be turned down if it wanted to be assessed. And places where youth gather are especially important.

“Working with an organization that serves youth is key to helping families,” Wilson said.

One such organization is Colorado Adventure Point, an adventure education and activity facility owned by the Denver Boy Scout Council. It opened last April and offers more than 120 classes for school groups, Scouts and community members — including adults — throughout the year. The facility’s adventure executive, Jesse Greaves-Smith, estimated that at least 6,000 school-aged children will pass through the doors each year.

Colorado Adventure Point received a vending assessment on March 16.

“The idea of Adventure Point is to be an example to build healthy habits. To have a real assessment based on research is important,” Greaves-Smith said. It “helps us with our mission of giving back to the community.”

The assessments are done voluntarily, Wilson said. “Any organization that wants to change their environment and make a healthy choice the easy choice” can request one.

Assessment results take about two weeks, Wilson said. Based off the results, the coalition creates a report, which can be crafted to meet the needs of the organization. For example, a vending machine at a school may

differ from one at a government building, which may differ from a machine in a fitness center.

The report is provided to the organization.

The coalition can then help each site develop and implement nutritional policies. The coalition can also educate vendors so they can be more helpful in the process, she added.

“Our goal,” Wilson said, “is to help the organization know the nutritional value of their current food and drink options, and then provide support for what changes they are ready to make.”

The coalition uses healthy choice guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Vending improvements can include replacing sugary beverages with no-sugaradded options, but also can be as easy as stocking bottled water at eye level, putting different signage on machines such as water bubbles versus soda bubbles, adding visible nutritional labeling of products or having pricing incentives, such as offering healthy options for less.

Although the Healthy Beverage Coalition is focused on drinks, all vending is eligible for a free assessment, Wilson said, including snack foods and snack bars at pools, for example.

Greaves-Smith feels fortunate that Adventure Point is located in a county that can provide resources and education to help the community.

“For me, it’s important to provide an environment that reflects our dedication to healthy lifestyles,” he said. “We teach youth to lead by example, and thought we should do the same.”

VOICES

LOCAL

Taking a dad’s-eye view of Easter Anybody who tells you that having children doesn’t change you either doesn’t have children, or is a very bad parent.

Having children changed me beyond description. I think, when you fall in love with your spouse, you do so with resources that you know and understand. My wife is breathtaking, but I’ve seen beautiful people before, and I understood what that meant; my wife challenged me intellectually, but that was, perhaps, the part of me that I understood best at the time; my wife drew me in and captured my heart, but that was a muscle I’d used before. Don’t get me wrong — my wife took all of these to a whole different level than I’d been at before, but it was all still, at least to a degree, familiar territory.

Not so with my children. From the moment my oldest looked at me and curled her tiny hand around my finger, it was a whole new ballgame, and I had to develop new resources to deal with it. The incredibly humbling idea that this tiny human was completely dependent on me, would at times look to me for guidance, comfort, encouragement, or approval, and whose development would either thrive or atrophy based on my actions required a whole new approach to life. It is, to borrow the cliché, as if I had to grow new chambers in my heart to make room for this new reality.

And there is nothing I won’t do for my children. Take a bullet, jump in front of

a train, jump off a building, or even visit violence upon another person — if it was what was necessary to protect my children, I would not hesitate.

Sure, sometimes I want to smack them upside the head with a twoby-four, but heaven help anybody else who Michael Alcorn tries to do that.

I don’t say any of HITTING this to pat myself on HOME the back. I’m pretty sure every mom and dad reading this right now is saying some variant of “no kidding — I would, too.” I’m sharing this mindset with you to tell you about how I understand Easter, which we are celebrating this Sunday.

Now, I have to back up a little at this point, and acknowledge that there are many of you out there who do not believe in this, and that is just fine. One of the great beauties of this country is that you are perfectly free to believe something completely different than I do, and I am fine with that.

However, if you’re open to it, please indulge me as I explain my thinking.

I never understood Easter until I had children. Sure, I was thoroughly versed in

the intellectual and historical background — my parents made very certain that I had that foundation. But, until I was in the position of contemplating the preservation of this little life which I had a smallish role in creating, the emotional reality of Easter escaped me.

See, according to Christian theology, the whole point of Easter is that God sent his one and only son to live among humans for the express purpose of dying. And, not just an ordinary death: a horrible, gruesome, brutal death in a manner that only the Romans could concoct. And, why would a parent send their child to be slaughtered? To atone for all the mistakes and lapses of judgment of all the other children.

This is a level of sacrifice that is absolutely incomprehensible to me, and one that, as a father, reminds me how small and, well, human I actually am.

So, this weekend, try to ignore everything elite society tells you is central to Christianity — all the judgments and the rules and the righteousness. Try to remember, instead, that the central reality of all of it is the sacrifice of one Father, His son, and the great love that that sacrifice expresses.

Happy Easter!

Don’t let madness lead to sadness Who are you voting for?

That is the question that we are all being asked.

The other question is: “What are you voting for?”

Now here is my question for you: “How have you been responding?”

As you all know, this is not a politically motivated column, its intent is to share a positive and encouraging message of some kind each week. And consistent with my weekly theme, I will attempt to shed a positive and encouraging point of view in contrast to the “Yikes” response that most people have been giving when responding to the question about who and what they are voting for.

In my line of work I travel quite a bit domestically and also engage with many international associates and clients. It is one thing to engage in a conversation with folks right here in the United States about the candidates and potential outcomes, but it is even more interesting to have a discussion with people outside of the United States and their view and line of questioning when it comes to the perceived lunacy of what is taking place with our presidential election.

The fact is, we will never all agree on the same party, nor will we ever endorse the same candidate, and most likely we will be unable to come to an agreement on the issues that are being debated and challenged by both sides. But here is where we can get our head around the chaos and start thinking about the reality of the situation in

a positive and encouraging way. You see, it’s not just the candidates and the campaigns that are misaligned, it is the system that is broken. And that is the good news.

Good news? Yes, good news.

It is good news because the United States Michael Norton will still be the greatWINNING est nation on earth.

The president is really WORDS just the voice and face of our nation, and whoever is in office will surround himself or herself with smart advisers who should and will help guide the country, continue to defend our shores and borders, and help us maintain our prominence in the world while adhering to our benevolent nature in support of our allies and all people around the globe.

Some of you will point to the candidate’s position on taxation, others will focus on immigration, our economy, education, health care, our military and hundreds of other issues. And you are all welcome to your opinion and position. And while we stay focused on these issues and the advisers and Cabinet members actually develop the plans and execute the strategy, the president of the United States will meet world leaders, give well-written speeches, and be seen as the

voice and face of our nation.

Do some have a better presence than others? Are a few of the candidates a little more “presidential?” Sure, the answer is yes to both of those questions. So for me, my positive outlook and encouragement to go about my day-to-day life is focused on what the people behind the scenes will be doing, not so much on the man or woman voted in as the new POTUS. Technically, of course, he or she will be the commander-in-chief, and will work tireless hours, but in our day and age nothing is ever solely decided by the president. Television and movies help us buy into the concept that the president does actually make those big decisions in dramatic fashion, but the reality is that every decision made is a decision by committee, not one person.

Maybe this will strike a nerve with you, maybe you agree with me in this “Yikes” of an election year, and maybe you will completely disagree with me. But it is the system that is broken, not the people. It’s the system that is broken, not you and not me. And I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, because when we realize that we will still be the greatest nation on earth regardless of who wins, it really will be a better than good week.

Bill allows video recording of depositions of victims of elder abuse As Colorado’s population ages, elder abuse is a growing problem for vulnerable seniors. Law enforcement is working hard to address this issue, and I am proud of the work that District Attorney Peter Weir and his dedicated staff are putting in to help protect Jeffco’s senior population.

To help law enforcement, policy makers need to equip them with the tools to go after those who exploit the elderly. Physical and financial abuse can be difficult crimes to prosecute, and I am

GUEST COLUMN

frustrated that so many crimes go unpunished precisely because of the vulnerability of victims.

That’s why I have been proud to partner with the DA’s office, along with AARP and other stakeholders, to push legislation this session to fight elder abuse. Because victims of elder abuse may not be well enough or live long enough to testify at trial, their testimony may never be heard. To address this, I am sponsoring HB16-1027, which allows a prosecuting attorney to automatically video record the

deposition of victims of elder abuse in order to preserve a victim’s testimony in case they would not be able to testify at the time of trial.

This is one step we can take to ensure successful prosecutions of elder abuse crimes. The passage of this bill will protect seniors and help them live safely in their homes, independently. So I am happy to report that the Colorado State House unanimously voted to send my bill to the Senate, where I hope it will also receive strong bipartisan support.

If you have any concerns or ideas about how to make state government work better, please don’t hesitate to call me directly or contact my office.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Opening doors opens minds Regarding the article in the March 10, 2016 addition entitled “Mosques open doors to community,” I wanted to offer my gratitude and appreciation. While my family and I are not Muslim, we are concerned by the seemingly growing xenophobia and bigotry that threatens to undermine the health of our wonderfully diverse American communities. The danger in “other-ing” is how quickly it ex-

pands to include all variety of people. In these times, taking an editorial stand that humanizes, educates and deconstructs the “otherness” that seems so prevalent in the media, is a right, brave and a fine use of the free press. Thank you so much.

Keep up the good work!

Taking a look at friendships: What happens when someone is more of a hindrance than a help?

As adults, we’ve learned that we grow and change from our experiences and stages of our life: high school, college, moving, marriage, babies, divorce, jobs, death of a loved one, etc. With each stage, we change a little and

grow a lot.

So why don’t we handle platonic relationships the same way? Why don’t we grant our former best friend the same grace we grant our former significant other?

Bookstores like BookBar are popular places for book clubs to meet in a warm, relaxing environment. Photo by Clarke Reader

A culture of readers

Book clubs provide connections, intellectual challenges

“

arilyn Brown has been a member of the League of Women Voters for 46 years, but when she moved to Jefferson County a year ago, she didn’t know many people in the area.

Through Jeffco’s league, she discovered a new way to meet people.

“I have been exposed to book clubs of several kinds over the years and have stolen their reading lists but never joined,” Brown wrote in an email interview. “I am not a literature or English major and would rather address content than style except when style affects the content.

But I was really intrigued with Lynne Ellison’s idea of historical/contemporary/political non-fiction books, which I had been reading anyway.”

Brown is one of the many people who have found comradeship and intellectual challenges in book clubs.

Technology has changed the way many people read, but the yen to discuss, argue and deconstruct the written word hasn’t slackened at all.

“There are all kinds of book clubs out there for people,” said Nicole Sullivan, owner and operator Nicole Sullivan, of BookBar, a bookstore and winery in Owner of BookBar west Denver. “I just love books and talking about them. With the assignment feeling of book clubs, it ensures I keep reading.”

Many ways exist for readers to join a club, from starting their own with friends to finding clubs hosted by organizations and businesses.

Ellison, who founded the Jeffco League of Women Voters non-fiction club, said she had been considering launching the monthly club for years before finally doing so in September.

“A lot of clubs lean more toward fiction books, but I wanted to do more in-depth topics,” she said. “We

I just love books, and talking about them. With the assignment feeling of book clubs, it ensures I keep reading.”

MEET A BOOK CLUB MEMBER My name is: Pat Mesec How many of the LWV book club meetings have you been to?

I have been to five League of Women Voters book club meetings so far.

What made you want to attend the book club meeting?

I had been in a book club many years ago and simply enjoyed discussing with other people the books I read.

Lynne’s idea of a book club where we read and discuss only non-fiction books appealed to me.

I have been active in LWV for many years, and I really enjoy the opportunity to participate in civil discussions relating to the issues of the day. So supplementing those LWV discussions with the chance to discuss books like “The President’s Club” is fun for me.

As an undergraduate I was a history major, a possible factor in my current interests.

What is your favorite thing about book clubs?

Nitty-gritty, in depth discussions, mixed with casual social gatherings. have anywhere from six to 15 people come to our meetings, and they’re all just so dang smart.”

Libraries are a great resource for book club members or people interested in joining a club. Conference rooms can be rented for discussions, and librarians can help with selecting books and getting the meeting running.

The Anythink library system serving Adams County boasts six different book clubs, serving a range of literary interests.

In Jefferson County, residents can check out book-club kits for up to six weeks. Each kit includes up to 10 copies of a popular book and a guide to facilitate discussion.

But Jeffco libraries also are reaching out to disadvantaged people who Books continues on Page 15

We all have mountains to climb Taking the long way home

As the last bits of sunlight began to fade behind the foothills on a recent day and my trail friends headed back to their vehicles at the Red Rocks trailhead, I looked at my phone and saw I had nearly two hours left before I needed to pick up our kid from her grandpa’s house in Louisville.

So, I dropped off my camera and grabbed my headlamp. After an hourlong trail run that included a semi-technical, 500-foot-plus climb — a run that served as a photo shoot for some of the pictures accompanying the page 12 Life story on trail running — I decided to do the full, 4-mile loop one more time.

Now, just what makes a person want to go running in the dark through one of the more technical, ankle-twisting trails along the West Metro Front Range?

The “why” of running is one of those spring-loaded questions often asked — not just of runners — but of anyone participating in an endurance sport or activity that carries with it a certain element of danger or risk. Even beyond that, `why?’ is the backdrop for every existential and philosophical debate since the dawn of mankind.

And, honestly, the why of it all is something I think of often, and in many regards. This column, a broad project about running and inspiration and how it pertains to life, is something I’ve been considering for the better part of four years, beginning right after my daughter, Cecilia, was born in June 2012.

But I kept coming back to the same question: Why? What’s the purpose? And who will read it?

With those questions still looming, a few weeks ago, I committed to the column with my editor and set a deadline.

Days passed, and then a week, and still I continued to procrastinate.

Then, late last week, we had a compa-

want to be in a club, but aren’t able to make it into a library.

“We have our Dial a Book Club, which lets us reach out to people we weren’t able to before,” said Cecilia LaFrance, Jeffco’s Library2You Coordinator. “We’ve been going strong for nearly a year now, and it’s great for our participants to have regular connection with other people.”

Once a month, participants use their phone or computer to join a conference call at a prearranged date and time. A moderator is on hand to keep the conver-

ny meeting where we were honored to hear keynote speaker Alan Arnette talk about mountain climbing in the wake of losing his mother to Alzheimer’s disease.

Alan’s message was rife with Jeremy Johnson metaphors. Sure, DADDY he was talking ON THE RUN about an actual mountain, and Tales from Mount Everest, Front Range Trails the biggest one in the world at that. But the real message was about the mountains we all face.

Writing a column every other week shouldn’t be that big of a challenge, compared to the bigger challenge of trail running and the journey that started, for me, in 2011, with a few jaunts through Pennsylvania’s famous oil region and culminated with not one but two 50-kilometer races through those same rolling hills lined with abandoned oil derricks and dilapidated, rusted well heads.

All the same, the idea became a mountain, and I struggled to find the means to summit. In other words, I was still searching for a purpose. Thanks to Alan, I think I finally found it.

Now, I won’t say my purpose for this ongoing column is nearly as noble as Alan’s quest to end Alzheimer’s through massive fundraising and awareness. But I do share the common goal of wanting to create lasting memories for myself, for my family and, maybe for you, the reader who’s looking for some inspiration to make change happen in his or her life.

I’m no expert trail runner or fitness guru. I’m just a guy who had some decent potential as a runner through high school but fell victim in my 20s and even my 30s to a physically abusive lifestyle that included, at different times, too much drinking, smoking and other unsavory behavior. Family, work and trail running saved my life, and so, for that reason, I want to share my story with you.

Because we all have our mountains to climb, even though the actual climb might look different for each of us. Perhaps instead of running, your passion is art, music, mountain biking, yoga, tai chi or dance. It doesn’t really matter.

What matters is that many of us see the mountain as too tall to climb. I’m hoping this column will provide the inspiration to start the trek.

If I can do it, if I can run miles and miles and miles on these 41-year-old legs, if I can overcome the obstacles of the impetuousness of youth in favor of finding peace and tranquility in family and friends and trails, so can anyone.

This column, while narrowly focusing on aspects of trail running like training, equipment and trail reviews, will aim to have a broader scope about how to achieve goals and chase dreams while balancing life, work and family.

Reach out with any questions, comments or thoughts about trail life — or life in general. Or send your own story to jjohnson@coloradocommunitymedia. com, because I want us to go through this adventure together.

So, will you run along with me?

“Frankly, from participants’ viewpoints, I think the main purpose of this club is to socialize,” said Mary Haacke, one of the moderators. “The particular book is just not that important. I don’t know if that is bad or good, but they are nice people and if they have a good time, so do I.” By mixing the bookstore atmosphere with wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres, BookBar has become a popular location for clubs and author events, which was the intent of the place.

Over the years, Sullivan’s job has made her a keen observer of book club culture, and she has all kinds of advice for readers interested in getting a club going.

“I see a high failure rate for clubs, and I think one of the most important things to have in a club is a similar goal,” she said. “Sometimes, in one club you have people who are there more for the social aspect and others who want the more intellectual discussion. That can make things frustrating.”

Sullivan also advises finding people who are the same kind of reader and have similar interests.

Clubs are available for interests as specific or broad as a reader wants, and it’s really a smorgasbord of options. To make it easier to find a successful club, Sullivan launched www.BookClubHub. com, where clubs and readers can register to find the perfect fit. After answering

some questions about reading style and interests, the site provides users with club options.

“There are so many options — everything from self-help and motivational clubs to science fiction and kids’ books,” she said. “It’s such a great way to build community and get more people reading.”

For participants, learning about both books and people is the best part.

“I get more out of a book when I know I will be discussing it with other folks,” Brown said. “And the books’ topics lead to discussions beyond the book relevant to current political topics, and help us understand current events and situations.”

THREE TIPS ON FINDING TIME It’s no secret what stops us from finding time for fitness: More often than not, it’s family and work.

Be ready • Keep a clean set of gear and other supplies (i.e. water, snacks) in your car at all times.

But with some clever scheduling and keen foresight and preparation, you might find there’s a little more time in your day than you once thought. Here’s some tips for how to squeeze in those miles.

• A running shirt, tights, socks and a granola bar fit nicely in most hydration packs — tie on your trail shoes and you’ll have everything you need in one place.

Be flexible • Be willing to change into your running gear in a moment’s notice, in your bathroom at work or in your car at the trailhead.

Be realistic • Never turn down a run, anywhere or anytime. Make due, whether it’s a neighborhood side street or concrete trail near your work.

• Don’t be afraid to freshen up in a bathroom sink, in those instances where you steal away over a lunch break or in-between company meetings. (Hint: Keep some deodorant with you.)

• Run to your availability. Any time running is still logging miles toward fitness goals. So, if you’ve only got 20 minutes to spare, use it.

There is more to a good poetry recitation than knowing the words.

It’s about conveying the writers’ emotions and seeing the world through his or her eyes.

Luckily, that’s Long View High School student Brittney Hall’s favorite part.

“You read a poem multiple times, and you start to view things from the poet’s perspective,” Hall said.

“There are so many different aspects to poetry.”

Hall, whose school is in Lakewood, joined 25 other poets from Colorado for the state championship of Poetry Out Loud on March 15 at the Lakewood Cultural Center.

The competition was sponsored

by Colorado Creative Industries, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Lighthouse Writers Workshop and the Poetry Foundation and featured students reciting two poems each. Each poet was judged on physical presence, voice and articulation, dramatic appropriateness, evidence of understanding, overall performance and accuracy.

“This is our first year partnering to host the event, and we wanted to because it totally fits in our mission to support creative writers, literary efforts and poetry,” said Michael Henry, executive director of Lighthouse, the largest nonprofit literary center in Colorado. “It’s great to see these young people go up there and

David Cendon Garcia from Fountain Valley School in Colorado Springs won the event. He advances to the Poetry Out Loud National Finals on May 3 and 4 in Washington, D.C. The evening was emceed by Colorado poets Joseph Hutchison and Jovan Mays and provided participants not only the opportunity to compete, but also to have fun getting to know other poets. Mays hosted an open mic that let students cut loose and have some exploratory fun.

“These students are immediately able to make connections with each other, and they form long-term friendships that go on for years,” said Sheila Sears, deputy director of Colorado Creative Industries.

As a National Poetry Slam champion, Mays connected with students on a personal and performance level.

“It’s a real, real skill set to embody poems like you do,” he told the competitors. “It’s a true talent to take ownership of something that isn’t yours.”

For Thornton High School student Tashaiya Henderson, competing is an extension of her love for poetry and the written word. She competed last year and was excited to be back.

“I love the fact that I’m able to see the poet’s thoughts and ideas in my mind and connect with them,” she said. “There’s a lot of amazing people reciting here and I’m excited to be back competing.

All aboard for a bevy of Easter entertainment in Golden In case you haven’t checked your calendar, Easter is falling kind of early this year.

It’s going to be this coming Sunday, March 27. It’s one of those holidays whose date shifts every year. Usually it’s in April, but once in awhile it falls in March.

So why does this happen? Well, it has to do with a few different things.

To begin with, the Bible says that Jesus was crucified around the time of the Jewish Passover, which celebrates the Israelite exodus from Egypt. It falls on the first full moon following the vernal equinox, or the spring day when night and day are exactly the same length. Since the Hebrew calendar is based on both solar and lunar cycles, the date of Passover changes each year.

The New Testament goes on to say that Jesus rose again on a Sunday. That narrowed it down a little bit. Back in the year 325 A.D., a gathering of bishops called the First Council of Nicaea decided that Easter should always be celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon of

the Spring Equinox called the Paschal full moon. Later, the Equinox was fixed at March 21, so Easter always falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after March 21. Aren’t you glad we can just look at a John Akal calendar nowadays?

So, now that you AVENUE know when Easter is, you’ll probably FLASHES want to know when and where all the fun activities that surround it are going to be happening.

Here in Golden, those will be held on Saturday, March 26.

Let’s start with some Easter Egg hunts.

Golden Family Easter will have its annual Easter Egg Hunt in Parfet Park, located at 10th Street and Washington

Avenue. It starts promptly at 10 a.m. and is sponsored by the Golden Kiwanis Club and the Downtown Merchants Association.

You probably want to get there plenty early as the turnout is usually pretty large.

It doesn’t last too long with all the eager little eyes out there looking. But it is a lot of fun and provides plenty of good photo opportunities.

Admission is free, but donations of canned goods for families in need can be dropped off at the Christian Action Guild’s boot in the park.

The Golden Gate Grange, located at 25201 Golden Gate Canyon Road, just four miles west up the canyon from Highway 93, is having an event called Eggmania. It will run from 1-3 p.m.

Bring your own hard-boiled eggs — materials for dyeing and decorating will be provided. This will be followed by an Easter egg hunt and a visit from the Easter Bunny. There’s no need to bring an Easter basket — one will be provided for each

The Easter Bunny is going to be a little busy that day as he’s also appearing at the Colorado Railroad Museum to call “ All Aboard” for the Bunny Express Train from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.

The family can hop aboard an 1880’s vintage railroad coach along with Spike the Railyard Hound, who will be handing out candy.

2016 Good News Breakfast Honorees Our 2016 theme is “Protecting and Building Our Community.” We thank all first responders, active military, veterans and others who provide services that protect the health, safety and well-being of Jeffco residents through their volunteer or professional commitments.

Rabbi Benjamin “Jamie” Arnold Rabbi Jamie Arnold has been instrumental in establishing a severe weather emergency shelter to serve individuals experiencing homelessness in the Evergreen community.

This is a collaborative effort of area churches, Evergreen Christian Outreach, At Home in Evergreen, local service organizations, community members and the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office. The program provides a warm and welcoming environment at local churches and synagogues during inclement weather. It was launched in March in part due to Rabbi Arnold’s hard work and dedication as president of At Home in Evergreen.

CASA Volunteers CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers are appointed by a judge and serve as independent advocates for child abuse victims in Jefferson County. They make recommendations regarding child abuse victims’ living situations, progress and need for services to the presiding judge. They advocate for children’s best interests in the areas of health, education, foster placement, and most importantly, finding them a safe permanent home. In 2015, there were approximately 700 open cases and 2,325 child abuse victims. The CASA Jeffco/Gilpin volunteers served 286 cases and 416 victims.

Detective Jesus “Moose” Chavez, Lakewood Police Department Detective Moose Chavez has been a school resource officer for seven years, mentoring hundreds of kids, many of whom come from disadvantaged families. He has steered several students toward a college education and away from a potential life of crime. Chavez has raised over $50,000 for various charities by running numerous marathons. In Denver’s Rock and Roll Marathon, he pushed a young man with cerebral palsy 13 ½ miles in a special wheelchair. Each year Detective Chavez organizes a Christmas program, dinner and gifts for 50 families at Alameda High School.

Sergeant David Hoover, Agent James Butler, Agent Toby Maez, Victim Advocate Lindsey Bravdica, Lakewood Police Department These four caring individuals came together to help a father and his 10-year-old son who were living in a vehicle because they couldn’t find affordable housing. The vehicle

Page 2

broke down and because the father lost his job he was unable to make car repairs. This team all chipped in to stabilize the family by taking the child to school (Maez), arranged for free towing and repair of the vehicle (Hoover), found them an apartment (Butler and Hoover), raised $300 for clothing and took the family shopping (Maez and Butler).

Hoover then coordinated media coverage that stimulated further donations and resources for the family.

Jefferson Center for Mental Health and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office: Crisis Intervention Team Managers Program Police officers are often the first responders for individuals with a mental health crisis. In the absence of training and knowledge about local resources, these crises may result in arrest and incarceration when a referral and treatment would be more appropriate. An innovate collaboration between Jefferson Center for Mental Health and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office helps law enforcement officers deal with these difficult calls and increases safety for the officers, the individuals in crisis and the community.

Emily Richardson, Jefferson Center for Mental Health, and Captain Al Simmons championed this collaboration, which began in October 2014. The mental health crisis managers provide education and training for deputies, ride along on police calls and provide referral resources.

Margaret Paget, City of Wheat Ridge As forestry and open space supervisor for the City of Wheat Ridge, Margaret Paget has gone above and beyond her job duties to support residents’ projects. She has encouraged residents who are working to suppress or eliminate invasive plants in the Clear Creek Greenbelt and surrounding areas.

Paget helped with completion of a project to protect and reclaim the Baugh House property, which is the state’s oldest house still at its original location. Last year, Paget was instrumental in helping a Wheaties University team plan and execute a wetlands environmental education festival. For 25 years, she has worked tirelessly to protect and preserve Wheat Ridge’s open space areas.

Pete Roybal, Lakewood City Council, Ward 3 From the day he was elected to Lakewood City Council, Pete Roybal took on the graffiti problem and decreased graffiti both in his ward and citywide. He works tirelessly to update the infrastructure in his ward to get needed curbs and gutters. In addition he is currently working on getting safe playground equipment across the city. Roybal spearheaded an effort to transfer a WWII monument, which had been hidden in the weeds for years, to a place of honor at Lakewood High School. A veteran, he works continuously

Good News Celebration Breakfast Supplement • www.goodnewsjeffco.org

to help improve the lives of all those who have served our country. Roybal began the monthly food basket program three years ago at Phillips United Methodist Church and helps distribute food monthly.

Kevin Shive, Founder/Executive Director, Rocky Mountain Police Chaplains As an eight-year volunteer chaplain with the Golden Police Department, Pastor Kevin Shive, Hillside Community Church, saw the power and need of the chaplain concept for police officers and their families. To meet this need, he founded the Rocky Mountain Police Chaplains in 2014 to connect and organize chaplains in the Rocky Mountain Region. Since the program’s inception, 29 cities and agencies have been served at the local, state and federal level. Police departments report an increase in employee retention and morale as a result of this support.

West Metro Fire Protect District West Metro Fire Rescue personnel work closely with The Action Center and its clients by volunteering their time and giving financial donations. In addition, staff provides community education to children with car seat and bicycle helmet checks, makes regular school visits and sponsors an annual family fire muster. Their seal of approval program rates senior living facilities. To better serve its community, West Metro has specialty teams including dive, hazardous material, technical rescue, wildland fire and emergency medical services.

Nominees The 2016 nominees represent outstanding individuals and organizations who contribute their time and talents to protecting and building our Jefferson County community. In addition to those chosen as honorees, others nominated: • The Table at Bethlehem Lutheran Church • Brady Grows • Pastor Reg Cox • Alan Ingram, Marshal Scherba, Greg Alflen, volunteer drivers for Senior’s Resource Center, Evergreen • John Laur • Mountain Resource Center • Lisa Steven • Warm Hearts, Warm Babies • Wheat Ridge Police and Wheat Ridge Fire departments • Wheat Ridge Rotary • Ernie Witucki

Lakewood play shows stark changes and dark themes Harriet Hunter Ford

After her release from prison, Arlene, as she now insists on being called, returns AROUND to her rundown TOWN apartment with plans to begin a new, purposeful life. Bennie, the guard, has resigned his job and drives Arlene back home, which is in another state. Bennie wants to be much more than friends and proceeds to assault her.

Her mother (Erica Sarzin-Borillo) shows up and nothing Arlene does is right by her mother. She meets a new friend, Ruby (Kelly Uhlenhopp), who also lives in the apartment building.

Before she went to prison, she had a pimp named Carl (Kent Randell), who now shows up on the scene wanting

Fire Chief

who befriends her before he is moved to another assignment. Before he leaves, he asks one of the guards to give the emerging Arlene a picture of a painting of Jesus, which she cherishes and hangs on her apartment wall as soon as she gets home.

Rick Yaconis directs the action with a deft hand.

“Getting Out” plays through April 3 at The Edge Theater, 1560 Teller St., Suite 200, in Lakewood. There is ample free parking on-site. Performances are on weekends. For tickets, call 303-232-0363 or at www.theedgetheater.com.

Miners Alley Playhouse Children’s Theatre Feb. 6 - April 30

Award-Winning Theatre in the Heart of Downtown Golden

Coal Creek Canyon Fire Protection District is seeking a qualified Full-Time Fire Chief, as a leader for the volunteer department, the Fire Chief will ensure all operational aspects are performed at the highest standards.

to start right back where they left off.

Needless to say, Arlene wants no part of her past life and tries to get Carl to leave.

Ruby steps in and stands up to Carl, who actually backs down.

It is clear that Arlene is being pulled toward her old ways. The interaction between the characters is stunning and the acting impeccable. As always, the crew at The Edge does a masterful job of making the small space seem much larger than it actually is. This time, Arlene’s apartment occupies the majority of the stage while a two-story “prison” where “Arlie” rages takes up a much smaller space.

The contrast between Arlene and “Arlie” is stark and dramatic. Arlene has made profound changes in her life, thanks largely to the prison chaplain

15 Minutes from Denver

As usual, things at The Edge Theater are, well, edgy. This play is no exception.

Arlene (Missy Moore) has just been released from prison and is anxious to get her life on track in the real world.

She has made many changes during her incarceration. She has gone from being a crazy, out-of-control, enraged wild woman to a cooperative, helpful and responsible inmate.

From time to time, she has vivid flashbacks of her previous behavior when she was known as “Arlie” (Zandra Prestia Turner) and had fits of rage and screamed and cursed the guards. One of the guards, Bennie (Robert Michael Sanders), found a way to get around her wild behavior. She turned into a model prisoner when he offered her a stick of gum.

spending time with them.

Sure, you don’t see eye to eye on everything, but that’s the beauty of friendships! However, if your mood or self-esteem takes a nose dive after spending time with this person, that’s a sign that this friend may not be an asset. Friends should be there to help build you up, not tear you down.

2. You give, but hardly receive.

There will be times in all friendships where one friend may need the other more. Life is a give and take, and friendships will never be 50/50 all the time. But if you constantly go out of your way for this person without him or her being there in return, that’s not a good sign. Resentment can creep in when you feel like your needs are not being met by your friend. When this happens, perhaps it’s time to go separate ways.

3. You just don’t trust them anymore.

This can come be from them not keeping your secrets, not following through on promises or often leaving you feeling betrayed or let down. This will happen, as we all disappoint the people we love and who love us, but it should be an occasional mishap, not the norm.

4. You are in different phases of life.

When we are younger, we have our friends from school, scouts, soccer or other activities; we’re on the same path. But as we get older, your path can move in a different direction than your former BFF. Marriage, children, careers, hobbies and interests all dictate the direction your path takes. The person you used to grab happy hour with every Friday may not be available anymore because they have children they need to care for. Flexibility and acceptance are necessary in a friendship; it is possible to remain friends with someone who’s on a different path than you, that friendship may just look a little different than it used to.

5. You are absolutely exhausted after talking to them or spending time with them.

Everyone goes through difficult times in life and as friends, we try to roll with the other person’s changes and challenges the best we can. However, if a friend is constantly going through one life hurricane after another, it can start to wear on you. If your friend brings the difficulties on themselves due to their choices, it can be both challenging and exhausting to constantly be supportive. Remember that you have needs too and you need to care for yourself. If you feel exhausted after interacting with this person – maybe it’s time to take a step back.

It can be hard to push aside the guilt of separating from a friend, but it’s important to manage your own health and stress levels. Toxic friendships can be just as harmful as toxic relationships. Life moves quickly; it’s important to fill your time with people that will bring you joy and reciprocate the love and positive energy that you bring to the friendship.

Also remember that the great thing about friendships is that although we may grow and change, we can also come back together. One of my best friends from high school and I went on incredibly different paths after we graduated. We weren’t a part of each other’s lives for six years. I am now the godmother of her daughter and she is the godmother of mine. Time has a wonderful way of showing us what and who really matters.

No time for second guessing Second serve is often the difference between winning and losing in tennis

D’Evelyn’s doubles player Angi Reed avoids the pressure on hitting a second serve by trying not the think about the first serve and taking it one serve at a time. Photo by Jim Benton slice since I am a lefty.”

Second serves can test a player’s mental toughness. Many players, especially in a close match, tighten up on crucial second serves.

“The second serve is all you, there’s nothing that your opponent controls about it,” said Mountain Range senior No. 1 singles player Kristen Kirby, who finished fourth in last year’s 5A state tourney. “And on the second serve you are going to have a chance for a point or lose it right off the bat; it’s really easy to tense up and just try to get it in.

“The second service is kind of like you have muscle memory and you have to trust that it will come out and you’ll have the top spin and have the right angle and everything. When I start not really trusting that muscle memory is when I get in trouble.”

Douglas County senior Clara Larson agrees that second serves can be pressure-packed.

“There’s definitely more pressure,” she said. “Serving is kind of a way to take Tennis continues on Page 29

Bears lose tough battle Girls soccer team lost 2-1 in a shootout to Coronado

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The March 19 Bear Creek-Coronado game was a seesaw battle. The Cougars set the pace in the first half and scored a goal midway through the period. Bear Creek scored a second-half goal to tie, sending the game into two scoreless overtime periods and then to a penaltykick shootout where Coronado got the win 2-1 in the final day’s game at the Warrior Invitational Tournament.

“We are a very young team with three freshmen starters and this is definitely the best game we have played so far this season,” Bears Coach Ed Montojo said after the Coronado game. “It is good to play a team like Coronado, a team we match up well against. Our kids learned a lot in this tournament and really showed they can play good soccer against Coronado.”

Key moments: Both teams had lost their first two games of the tournament and came into the March 19 game

Retired coach comes back to town, game Ed Montojo wasn’t planning to coach the Bear Creek girls soccer team this season.

The retired teacher spent February traveling to places like New York, Florida and Puerto Rico and didn’t get back to the Jim Benton Denver area until 3.

OVERTIME March “We thought we had a person in place to take over… but he got a new job and just couldn’t do it,” Montojo said. “So I’m back doing it.”

His travels caused Montojo to miss tryouts and the first practices of the season in late February. But he is back on the sideline now for his third campaign with the Bears.

Bear Creek went 9-43-3 the past four seasons and this year’s team is young with four freshmen, four sophomores, four juniors and four seniors. The Bears are 1-4 this season with a team composed of mostly recreational players.

“We have a young team this season and we’ve had some flashes but we’re lacking the consistency,” Montojo said.

“I don’t worry about mistakes so much.

That’s part of the game. The mistake is feeling bad and dropping your head. It’s a growing process.”

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pete Sampras, the former world No. 1 tennis player, was revered for his accurate and winning serves.

He once said a tennis player is only as good as his or her second serve. There is no argument against the importance of second serves by area high school girls tennis players who opened the season March 3.

“It’s overall the most important part of the game,” said Cherry Creek senior Kalyssa Hall, who was last season’s Class 5A No. 1 singles runner-up. “If you miss your first serve and you don’t have a second serve, if it’s a weak second serve, they will attack it immediately. Then if you can’t get it in, you are going to automatically lose a point.”

Players are more aggressive on first serves, hitting with more power. Second serves are usually hit with a variety of spin in order not to be vulnerable for the opponent’s return. Second serves are more strategic with placement and pace.

“Service is probably the most important part of tennis, so second serve is obviously important,” said Mountain Vista junior Casey Zhong, a left-hander who finished third in the No. 1 singles bracket in the 2015 state tournament. “If you can’t serve and start the point, how are you going to win the point?

“My second serve is usually more conservative. The goal of the second serve is to get it in … you want to hit a second serve with a lot of spin to throw your opponent off. My second service, believe it or not, has slice and top spin.”

Defending state No. 3 singles champion Gloria Son, a senior at Cherry Creek, doesn’t separate her first from her second serve.

“The first serve is the most important,” she said. “You can take more chances. It’s just important that your second serve is there when you need it. You need to have a strong backup serve.

“For me my first serve is almost like my second serve. I just have one serve overall. First and second serve are the same for me with a lot of spin and I try to get it on the weaker side with a lot more

Name change looms for Parker stadium Does anybody remember the original name for the stadium in Parker that opened in 2009?

It was Burt.com Stadium but the naming rights for the 5,500-seat venue, located at 11901 Newlin Gulch Blvd., changed to Sports Authority Stadium in 2010 when the sporting goods company signed a three-year contact with Douglas County.

Sports Authority is planning to reorganize in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, but didn’t renew the naming rights agreement for the stadium long before its financial troubles surfaced.

The Douglas County School District is close to revealing a new naming sponsor and look for signage to go up prior to the start of the 2016-17 season.

“It will remain Sports Authority probably throughout the spring season unless the new people want to get their name up ASAP,” said Derek Chaney, Douglas County School District athletic director.

“Then we will make a midseason change, but otherwise we’ll wait until the ‘16-17 year to do it.”

Snow can’t strand swimmers One of the best features about boys swimming is the sport is not exposed to Colorado’s spring snowstorms.

That was the case March 19 when several scheduled events were postponed because of a storm, but the Dick Rush Coaches Invitational swim meet was held at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

It was a chance for three local athletes to shine.

Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber won the 50-yard freestyle in 21.12 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 46.02. Heritage junior Michael Hinton was first in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:42.22, while teammate Patrick Kelley, also a junior, won the 200 IM in 2:54.52.

Cherry Creek finished third in the team standings, with Arapahoe fourth and Ponderosa fifth. Heritage was seventh.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MARCH 21, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The week promises a calmer aspect. Although there might be some lingering effects of a recent job problem, things should continue to ease up. Also expect a change in a home-based situation.

TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) If you feel uneasy about a colleague’s suggestion, it might be that your wise inner Taurean guide is alerting you to a potential problem. Stepping away could turn out to be the right thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family get-together opens up new opportunities for renewing ties. It can be especially effective in dealing with disagreements that should have been, but never were, fully resolved.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be surprised at the response you get to a recent decision. You might be even more surprised by the reasons behind it. In any event, you’ll learn something important.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your aspects favor resolving any tensions left over from a recent incident. You might want to consider having a “clear the air” talk as soon as you can. A call can lead to a change of plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid repeating yourself. If your first few efforts fail to connect, maybe it’s because you haven’t found the right way to get your message across. Try changing your approach.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good intentions plus a strong resolve to succeed can take you where you want to go. Don’t give up just because someone suggests you might be pursuing an impossible cause.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected setback can be a blessing in disguise. Use it to recheck your facts and how you’ve presented them. Meanwhile, look for ways to expand your contacts.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should finally be seeing a positive change in a recent personal situation. However, an on-the-job matter might need more attention than you realized. Stay with it.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you should be close to completing an important matter, you still need to focus on being focused. But things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and friends.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A certain matter might take an unexpected turn.

Don’t simply accept it; ask for an explanation.

What you learn might be helpful in shifting the situation around to your benefit.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Projecting a positive attitude helps restore calm even when you’re confronting some pretty stormy situations. Stay the course. The outcome will be well worth your efforts.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you enjoy tradition and stability, you also appreciate the good things that change can bring. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Hoops for Hope raises money for special needs camps

Pro athletes help bring cheer and drum up support for Adam’s Camp

control of the points, and when the first serve doesn’t go your way, the second serve is your last line of defense. Depending on how well you hit it (second serve), it gives you the advantage of being in an offensive position or giving your opponent the advantage or putting you on defense.”

Serving in doubles is different because the return of serve is a key, since there is a player at the net. Service angles are critical and topspin serves usually result in good net rushing opportunities on returns.

So the importance of good second serves in doubles doesn’t diminish.

“Usually with my second serve, I know it has to go in and I hit it a lot less hard,” said D’Evelyn senior Trinity Payne, who teamed with Cammy Lee to capture the No. 4 doubles title in last season’s Class 4A state tournament.

By Amy Thomson Special to CCM Families and friends gathered for a basketball game, cheer clinic and a great cause on March 20 for the Hoops for Hope fundraiser for Adam’s Camp, a nonoprofit that offers weeklong, intensive-therapy summer camps for children and young adults with disabilities.

Organizers say the event raised more than $50,000.

“It’s a great experience for (everyone) to see, because they see individuals with developmental disabilities out there playing basketball,” said Sarah Hartley, director of communications and development for Adam’s Camp. “It starts conversations about how we can be different but the same. I think those moments are really spectacular.”

Hosted by Adam’s Camp and Partners in Pediatrics, the event was held at the Gold

Crown Field House in Lakewood. Gold Crown donated the facility for the event, which included some notable stars like former Denver Bronco Tom Nalen and former NBA player Bill Hanzlik.

“The game itself is a blast,” Hartley said.

“It’s so cool to see professional athletes out on the court with our campers.”

Devin McEntee, an autistic eighth-grader of Greenwood Village who has attended Adam’s Camps for the past 10 years, enjoyed the experience. He started playing basketball this season and was a high-scorer during the game.

“I want to play for the New York Knicks,” he said. Carmelo Anthony, a forward for the Knicks, is an inspiration for him.

Peak Athletics in Highlands Ranch, which runs a cheer and dance program for those with special needs, ran the cheer clinic and halftime cheer show.

Highlands Ranch resident Jenna Zecchino, 21, has been cheering with Peak Athletics for more than 15 years. Her mother, Julie Zecchino, is a founder and owner of the organization. Jenna’s favorite part of cheer is the facial choreography, which cues the team to have the same expression, to smile

or look surprised, for example, throughout the routines.

The basketball game ended in a tie, 95-95, with no overtime — making all participants, from players to cheerleaders, winners.

Adam’s Camp is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Hoops for Hope is one of the organization’s biggest annual fundraisers. The camp covers half of the cost to attend camp, a fee of between $1,700 to $5,100.

“We do fundraising all year to cover that other half,” Hartley said. “This helps to get those kids and their families up to camp.”

Adam’s Camp has helped more than 12,000 people. Started in Colorado in 1986, it has opened three new locations in Alaska, New Hampshire and Nantucket, Massachusetts. Three more locations are in the works, including Northern Ireland.

The entire family is invited to the camps so that a network of support can be created.

“Adam’s Camp is very much about family,” Hartley said. “We don’t just serve the kids with disabilities, we serve the whole family.”

second half and took nine well-placed shots at the goal.

Dezeray Marberry tied the game halfway through the period with a shot that sailed past the diving goalie. It was the first goal of the season for the sophomore and the second goal of the season for the team.

Key players/statistics: Trinity Hayden, a freshman, was in goal for the Bears. She made eight saves.

Marberry scored the only goal for Bear Creek.

“We were pressing the attack so I came in and moved in across the goal,” she said after the game. “I was open when the ball got to me so I kicked it with my left foot and it went in. It feels great to score for our team. I just wish we had won the game.”

She said the team had been working hard and the goal picked up the spirit of the team to continue to play hard.

“I think the way we played today is important for our team,” Marberry said. “I think scoring today will start things rolling so we can score more goals as the season going on and we work to win games.”

They said it: Coach Montojo said leading the squad this season was something of a surprise.

“I coached the team for two seasons and told them I wasn’t coming back this year,” he said. “But they called me when the coach was injured. I agreed to help and took over the team two weeks ago.”

He said there is an effort to rebuild the girls soccer program at Bear Creek.

“As I said, we are young but the girls are working hard,” the coach said. “I am proud of how the girls are playing in these early season games that are a time to learn for us to work together as a team. We’ll just keep working, I feel we can win some games and I also feel the experience these players are getting will help strengthen the team this year and in the future.”

Going forward: The Bears returned to action March 29 against Standley Lake at the North Area Athletic Complex and play Chaparral on March 31 at Lakewood Memorial Stadium. The game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

GOLDEN, COLORADO, MARCH 24, 2016

FOUNDED IN 1866 BY GEORGE WEST

Homesteaders here to stay

Ramstetter family rich GOLDEN history continues

By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com This is the story of the Ramstetter family, who started as the “poorest of the poor” German immigrants nearly 140 years ago, but have grown to be prominent members of the Golden community to this day.

The family’s Golden story began in the 1880’s with Henry Ramstetter and Matilda Koch.

“Henry was all over the place,” said modern day Mary Ramstetter, who married into the family through her husband, Charles. But, “he eventually settled in Golden Gate Canyon.”

According to John Rufener, a descendant of the Ramstetters who has done a lot of genealogy research on the family, in the early 1880s, Henry Ramstetter immigrated as a young man from what was then called Prusse in Germany to Colorado. In Germany, the Ramstetters raised vineyards, but the area was war-torn, and a lot of land was lost.

Once here, a disposed Henry ended up meeting Matilda Koch, the daughter of a homesteader who was working as a maid at the Gilpin Hotel. Like Henry Ramstetter, the Kochs immigrated “dirt poor” from Germany, hailing from the Bremen coast. As soon as Henry saw Matilda, described as a “big, strong woman,” he knew she was the one for him.

They married on July 29, 1885, in Central City.

The two resided on a ranch located in Gilpin County, west of what today is the Golden Gate State Park. Around 1900, the two moved to the Eight Mile stagecoach stop — also known as the Eight Mile House and the Half-Way House — built in 1868 and served as a busy stage stop on the toll road from Golden to Central City.

Thus begins the rich history of the Ramstetters in Golden.

“It’s always fun to talk about Ramstetter history,” Mary Ramstetter said, and added she feels fortunate to have married

into a family of homesteaders.

The Ramstetters have been instrumental in the ranching and mining industries, and have been local business-owners, city councilors and even “helped build the infrastructure in Jefferson County,” Rufener said, because Henry, at one time, was a roadbuilder and established some of the county’s roads still used today.

One of Henry and Matilda’s grandsons, Charles W. Ramstetter, 77, was born in the Eight

Mile House to Bertha and Otto Ramstetter. He married Mary Geneva Acers, who also grew up in Golden. She is the daughter of Owen Acers, who worked as an electrical contractor and was one of the founders of the Golden Thespians; and his wife Geneva, who worked as a payroll clerk for Jefferson County.

Mary and Charles married in 1983, but the two have known each other about all

of their lives — Mary and Charles’ sister, Arlene, have been best friends since they met in the eighth grade in 1947, the 81-year-old Mary said.

For 23 years, until her retirement in

1981, Mary was employed as the Colorado School of Mines’ Department of Humanities and Social Sciences’ secretary.

Charles joined the U.S. Army when he was 17, but transferred to the Air Force in 1965. He retired in 1979 as a Master Sergeant and returned to Golden Gate Canyon to carry on the family tradition of raising cattle. He and Mary run a commercial cowcalf operation with a registered Colorado cattle brand read by brand inspectors as “c lazy three.” A portion of their ranch on Guy Hill has been in the family since 1860 from the Koch family.

Being the first person to do excavating in Golden, Gordon Ramstetter “was like the bulldozing king,” Rufener said.

“It’s kind of odd that they do excavating,” Rufener said, because the Ramstetters “have been playing in the dirt” since

the old times when they built terraces in Germany.

Gordon, a son of Matilda and Henry, started Ramstetter Excavating in 1957, and much of the work he did was for city contracts. Gordon died in late 2015, and Ramstetter Excavating is now run by his son, David. Also in the excavating business is Gordon’s brother, Richard, who owns R. M. Excavating in Golden Gate Canyon.

Another business-owner was Edward K. Ramstetter, former owner of the Golden Mill, 1012 Ford St. However, he is most known for the seven years he spent representing Ward 3, District 2 on the Golden City Council in the 1970s. Part of that time, he also served as mayor pro tem. Edward was born on Feb. 19, 1946, and died on his birthday in 2003.

“Eddy was very active with the city council,” Mary Ramstetter said. In fact, she added, he has a marker on the Ford Street Bridge to remember his contributions.

Jennifer Ramstetter, a granddaughter of Henry and Matilda’s from their son Ernest, was also a contributor to the city’s goodwill.

Jennifer Ramstetter donated the face of Mt. Zion, a popular area for hang gliders and where the Colorado School Mines’ M is located, to Jeffco Open Space. She also gifted the large pasture between Highway 93 and North Table Mountain to Jeffco Open Space.

“Think of yourself on the trail, looking north,” Mary Ramstetter said. “Open Space has that because of Jennifer. She enhanced the view.”

There’s an old saying, Mary Ramstetter said, that goes, “a man’s got to live somewhere,” and “by-and-large” the Ramstetters have stayed in the Golden area through the generations. She believes it may be because of Golden’s economy.

“This is a thriving community,” she said. “People can thrive here, so they stay here.”
