Former Golden city councilor and state rep. Gwyn Green dies A fighting spirit that will remain a Golden legacy

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

ocial justice was her thing. She fought for rights for seniors, children, the poor, the unfairly imprisoned, the disabled.

Gwyn Green “had an unwavering sense of what was right, and stood up for it,” said Judy Denison who met Green at a Golden City Council meeting in May 2001. Both were active in the political and public affairs in Golden. “She was on the forefront of any action for the public good and the downtrodden. She remains an inspiration of courage and love.”

Green of Golden, 79, died on Sept. 12 following a five-year battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. She served as a Golden city councilor for three years in the early 2000s, which preceded the twoand-a-half terms she served in the Colorado House of Representatives.

“Gwyn always rose to the forefront and became a leader, known for her fighting spirit and outspoken attention to issues (that) few were willing to take on,” said Ray Goodhart who has known the Greens for about 25 years and met Green through activism efforts in Golden. “Whenever a righteous cause arose, Gwyn would be out in our neighborhood armed with her clipboard, infectious laugh and a strong viewpoint that one could not dismiss.

(Her) spirit will be a part of Golden’s legacy for generations to come.”

Green was born in New Orleans on Nov. 21, 1938, but was raised in Houston, Texas. She is survived by her two younger

Gwyn Green and her husband Dan have their picture taken in 2003 at a family gathering.

The two married in 1961 in Texas and moved to Lakewood in 1965 where they raised four children. Gwen and Dan Green moved to Golden in 1995.

siblings, Wayne Druilhet of San Antonio and Melanie Morris of Houston.

Green attended Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, after high school and graduated in 1961 with a degree in journalism. She met her husband Dan while she was in college — he was attending the nearby University of Notre Dame. The two met at a college mixer event and they married in 1961 in Houston.

Dan and Gwyn Green raised four children — Kevin Green of Thornton, Laura Green of Georgia, Mark Green of Texas and Ben Green of New Mexico.

All are in their 50s, within five years of age. Gwyn Green is survived by her four children, 10 grandchildren and one greatgrandchild.

“She loved everyone so much,” said Ben Green’s daughter Rachael, 15. “Something I enjoyed are all the sto-

ries she told. She was so lively — it felt like you were reliving the past.”

Gwyn Green was an avid reader of both fact and fiction, was a good cook — she especially enjoyed Cajun and French foods, was a devout Catholic and loved spending time with her family.

But “what’s really important,” Dan Green said jokingly, “is that she was a Notre Dame fan.”

Dan Green got a job as an electrical engineer with the Bureau of Reclamation, which brought the family to Colorado and they moved to Lakewood in 1965.

They were founding members of Christ on the Mountain Parish in Lakewood and were involved with St. Jude Catholic Church, also in Lakewood, where Gwyn Green worked as a secretary for a short period of time.

Daughter Laura Green’s memories include laughing and enjoying each other’s company, she said. The family hosted a weekly game night, they went on monthly camping trips to Rocky Mountain National Park during the summer and Gwyn and Dan Green would go on a date night every Friday.

“We had a really fun childhood growing up,” Laura Green said.

In 1995, Dan and Gwyn Green moved to Golden.

GREEN FROM PAGE 16

She loved Golden, Dan Green said.

“As soon as she got here,” he said, “she got involved with the people.”

She was involved with the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), the League of Women Voters and Save the Mesas — a citizen-led protest group that formed following a 1997 proposal by Nike to relocate its world headquarters to South Table Mountain.

Sandy VanDeHey of Golden met Gwyn Green when Green joined the Jeffco League of Women Voters in 2004. The two got to know each other better when Green joined the league’s sustainability committee in 2013 and

they worked on issues such as pollution, water quality and natural resources together.

“I think the interest she always had with the underserved translated over to sustainability because those are the people most affected by these issues and are less likely to have a voice,” VanDeHey said. “She had a very big heart and lived that life of giving.”

After raising her family, Gwyn Green decided to pursue a masters degree and she earned her Masters of Social Work in 1984 from the University of Denver. She then became a clinical social worker, specializing in work with seniors and children.

“She did that until she ran for Golden City Council because she was upset with how the council was run” at the time, Dan Green said.

Gwyn Green served Golden’s Ward

Four from 2001-2004.

“As a former social worker, she was unfailingly about people and always tried to bring the human story into every decision we made,” said Marcie Miller who served with Green on Golden’s city council for three-and-ahalf years. “As a (city) councilor, when you make the human impact your guide, you can’t really go wrong, as Gwyn proved over and over. Everything she did was to improve the lives of her constituents and there’s not one thing wrong with that.”

In November 2004, Green, a Democrat, was elected to represent District 23, which encompasses parts of Lakewood and Golden. She held the seat from 2005-2009 when she resigned for health reasons.

Known for her strong social graces, good sense of humor and intelligence,

Green never lost an election, Dan Green said.

“She worked very hard,” he said.

“She went door-to-door for every election, talking with people.”

Her time in office provided her with two nicknames — Landslide Green, given to her by former Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff; and the Fighting Granny. The latter was supposed to be a negative campaign buzzword thought up by her opponent because of her age when running for her second term, Dan Green said, but ended up epitomizing the work that she did — a fierce advocate for seniors and children.

“People could see her heart, and that it was in the right place,” said Gwyn Green’s son Mark. “She truly did the work she did out of the love from her heart.”

While Market Activity Shows Signs of Slowing, Prices Are Actually Rising

By JIM SMITH, Realtor ®

Last week I documented how our real estate market is showing signs of slowing. In that column I reported an increase in the number of price reductions for Jefferson County listings and compared statistics from this summer with those from last summer, showing how the ratio of sold price to original listing price and the median days on market suggest a slowing in our real estate market.

Below is a chart (not printed with that column) which summarizes the data I was reporting on those two statistics.

One reader asked me if prices were also

leveling off or falling, so this week I am presenting that data. As documented in the chart at right, the answer is pretty obvious — prices and price per square foot are surging by 7 to 11 percent year-over-year for each summer month. That’s as much or more than the increases experienced in previous summers.

That presents an interesting dichotomy.

We are not seeing as many quick sales and multiple offers, and we are seeing more price reductions than last year, yet the median sales price is increasing. It’s hard to come up with a reasonable explanation of what’s going on, but I’ll keep working on it!

By the way, let me give a little advice to my regular readers of this column in this paper. Perhaps you know that this column also appears in the YourHub section of Thursday’s Denver Post. However, the

Next Saturday, Oct. 6 — Tour of Solar & Sustainable Homes The first Saturday in October features one of my favorite annual events — what used to be called the “Golden Solar Tour” but which has been renamed the “Metro Denver Green Homes Tour.” The name change is significant not only because the tour now includes homes across Jefferson County and even in Denver, but because having solar panels is no longer enough to be on this tour. Homes have to present varied and different aspects of sustainability, making the tour a valuable learning experience for all.

For example, on this year’s tour you’ll be able to visit such sites as the Geos Community in Arvada (pictured here) where all the homes are net zero energy, incorporating geothermal heating powered by the sun.

Golden Real Estate’s net zero office is on the tour, too, demonstrating our use of heat pump mini-splits to heat and cool our office.

A “tiny house” at CSM is also on the tour.

It’s a self-guided tour. For $10, you pick up a guidebook and map at Jefferson Unitarian Church (JUC) at 14350 West 32nd Avenue or at Golden Real Estate’s office at 17695 South Golden Road.

Each stop on the tour is open for viewing between 9 am and 4 pm. Then you can return to JUC for a reception with free food

and beer from 4 to 7pm, during which time there will be an “Electric Vehicle Roundup” in the JUC parking lot, where you can sit and possibly ride in various makes of electric and plug-in cars being demonstrated by their owners and by a few car dealers. Indoors, during the reception, there will be an ecoexpo of various vendors of green home products and services.

That’s all happening next Saturday, Oct. 6th, but this Saturday, Sept. 29th, is the Boulder Green Home Tour, which I always like to attend. Both tours include over a dozen stops, each one an educational experience regarding sustainable construction/ renovation. The Boulder tour is $15/person when purchased in advance at their website, www.BoulderGreenHomeTour.org. You can get a sneak peak at the homes on their tour on the Boulder group’s Facebook page.

deadline for the Denver Post is 23 hours later than the deadline for this newspaper. When there’s a Monday holiday (such as Labor Day), the deadline for the weekly newspaper is the previous Friday, instead of Monday. In other words I have a minimum of 23 hours and as much as four days to refine this column between the time I submit it to this publication and when I submit it to the Denver Post.

This was particularly true of last week, when the Denver Post version of my column had far more data and information than the

version that appeared in this newspaper. For example, that chart at left was in the YourHub version. Since the Denver Post version is the one that is archived at JimSmithColumns.com, I urge you to look for last week’s column on that website if you’d like to read my refined analysis of our slowing real estate market. You’ll no doubt find a better version of this week’s column there too!

And remember that you can always get this column delivered to you by email. It’s the Denver Post version of each column that I send to my 900+ email subscribers.

District of Columbia Has a 30-Year-Old Law Giving Tenants Right of First Refusal When Landlord Sells Last week Realty Times, an online news service, had an interesting article that caught our attention. It was about a long-standing law in the District of Columbia that is designed to protect tenants from being displaced when a landlord sells their home, condo or townhouse.

Although only 5% of tenants have been able to exercise the right of first refusal granted by that D.C. law, and it has just been modified to exempt some properties in some situations, it presents an interesting concept that could make sense if properly designed.

However, Golden Real Estate has a program that I’ve written about before which is even better, because we have a buyer who will purchase that home for cash, guaranteeing the tenant the right to stay up to 5 years with pre-specified and reasonable annual

rent increases and the opportunity to purchase that home when able. The tenant need only be pre-qualified as a tenant (with a $75 application fee) and does not have to qualify as a buyer. While the tenant has the right to purchase the home over the next 5 years at specified prices, he also has the right to leave after each one-year term without purchasing the house.

Under this arrangement, if a tenant learns that his house is going on the market and he’s at risk of being given 30 days’ notice to vacate, he/she can call us we’ll set that tenant up with our buyer, Home Partners of America, who will qualify the tenant immediately, then make an offer to buy the house, just like any buyer.

The home itself has to qualify. It can’t be a condo, and can’t be priced over $550,000.

We function as Home Partners’ agent.

As Mines grows, Golden deals with the good and bad “The key ... is open communication between the university, the community and city staff.”

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Golden’s city manager Jason Slowinski talks with city managers of other college towns, he hears about having to deal with rowdy parties and other destructive behavior by the students.

Fortunately, Slowinski said, these are not the type of students that the Colorado School of Mines attracts.

“Mines students are incredibly giving and they care about the Golden community,” he said. But, “no doubt, there are going to be challenges that come along with having a world-renowned university” in Golden.

One issue, or challenge, is growth.

And Mines is growing. This year’s freshman class is the largest in Mines’ history — about 1,380 new freshmen and transfer students began classes on Aug. 20. This is an increase of about 55 students compared to last year’s incoming freshmen and transfer students, and an increase of nearly 300 students from five years ago.

The numbers are only expected to increase. There could be up to 2,000 new students within the foreseeable future, said Chris Cocallas, the university’s architect and executive director of capital planning and design. Although, he added, that number includes 800-some online students.

“We have needs beyond 10 years that we need to meet,” said Neal Kessler, a consultant with SmithGroupJJR which is helping the Colorado School of Mines with its master plan. “We need to look beyond that.”

As the university moves forward to meet its students’ needs, both academically and socially, now and into the future, the Golden community tries to combat the growth’s impacts to Golden’s small-town, historic charm.

The problem is not that Mines is growing, said Tom Atkins who has lived in the 12th Street Historic District in Golden for 25 years. The concerns stem from the impacts that the growth has on the surrounding community, he said.

“We love living next to the campus,” Atkins said, noting he and his neighbors enjoy the spirit and atmosphere of the university. “But they’re not good neighbors. It wouldn’t take much — just a little sensitivity. There’s a whole bunch of impacts that the school does not seem sensitive to addressing.”

He points to increased traffic and speed, light and noise pollution, parking and stormwater runoff.

Some of the logistical issues that come with campus growth, such as increased traffic and parking and housing shortages, can be addressed through proper engineering solutions, said Gauen Rhys Alexander, a doc-

toral student in civil engineering and treasurer of Mines’ Graduate Student Government.

But there is friction between the campus and surrounding community, he added.

“I think this is the largest issue that Mines needs to address,” Alexander said. “So far, I have seen campus administration taking a fairly hard line in discussions with the community, and I think this is back-firing by alienating our neighbors. We need to be building stakeholder engagement, not creating an adversarial situation.”

The city and Mines have built a strong working relationship, Slowinski said. That relationship is important because the city does not have a veto over the university’s development projects.

“Our job is to work with Mines on behalf of the Golden community and figure out ways to mitigate (the) impacts as much as possible,” Slowinski said. “We don’t always agree on the issues, but the important part is that we can have a dialogue about them.”

He added that Mines President Paul Johnson and Vice President Kirsten Volpi “have been wonderful partners” and that “they have been willing to listen and take in to account our advice and opinions.”

Still, some community members believe an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between Golden and Mines is the best solution to resolving some of the community’s concerns, such as building height and setbacks.

“The neighbors are in a squeeze,” Atkins said. “We don’t get support from the school and we don’t get support from the city. The city can be more assertive about its rights (and) Mines can listen to the community’s concerns and take them into consideration.”

Mines is going to grow in the way that best works for them, Atkins added. There just needs to be better, collaborative communication from all parties impacted, he said.

Mines moving forward Two planning documents guide Mines’ growth.

MINES at 150 is a strategic plan adopted in 2013. It focuses on the goals the school wants to meet by its 150th anniversary in 2024, and “envisions Mines being recognized as the premier, student-centered, research university.” This includes academics and upholding the school’s mission and core values.

“We want to plan ahead to keep up with changes to the campus,” Cocallas said. “That includes growth as well as meeting our strategic goals.”

The other document is the master plan, which guides the physical environment of the campus.

The last master plan was written in 2003 with revisions done in 2010.

The current master plan, expected to be valid for the next 10 years, is in its final stages of updating and adoption.

Mines’ Board of Trustees is expected to approve it late November, then the SEE MINES, P15

Mill levy override focuses on bringing classrooms to Jeffco residents will vote on the $33 million ask in November

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In addition to the $567 million bond Jefferson County Public Schools is seeking to address facility needs within the district, it is also asking voters to approve a $33 million mill levy override which will focus on the needs of teachers and students.

Mill levy overrides are paid for through property taxes. The impact for taxpayers is about $2.10 a month increase per $100,000 in residential value.

The largest portion of this (50 percent) will be focused on increasing competitiveness with surrounding school districts in terms of staff and teacher compensation.

“If we’re fortunate enough to receive any additional funding we would work hard to see how those dollars can be spread throughout all our employee groups,” said David Bell, chief human resources officer for Jeffco Public Schools.

Increased teacher compensation and

According to the Colorado Department of Education, the average teacher salary in Jeffco for 2017-18 was $57,154, which is lower than four of the six surrounding districts. The lack in compensation potentially making it hard for the district to attract and retain quality teachers.

“We are fairly competitive in the metro area,” Bell said. “A lot of our

THE MILL LEVY OVERRIDE AT A GLANCE? Of the $33 million ask: 50% to increase competitiveness with surrounding districts 20% to increase school safety and security through increased mental health, counseling and school security 10% to expand career/technical education and STEM options 10% on instructional resources, supplies and technology 10% to expand full-day early childhood education retention comes from long-term established teachers in Jeffco. If they left, they wouldn’t have 25 years accredited in another district, so they stay.”

The problem, Bell said is competitive salaries for teachers early in their career.

“Right now it appears that we are a training ground for our educators who can go to any other district around us and made 5-15 grand more per year,” said board member Ali Lasell, at the Sept. 6 Board of Education meeting when the ballot language was final-

ized. “This ballot language will help stop that and it will help us support our direction and our vision.”

Similar to the district’s bond question, the mill levy override has accountability stipulations that none of the funds will be used for senior central administration, spending would be monitored by a citizen oversight committee, and be subject to an annual external audit.

Bell said it’s important to note that half the dollars from the mill levy override would be directed for specific programs.

“It’s not all about compensation,” he said. “There is a lot happening in the district and we are trying to address that through multiple avenues with the mill levy override.”

The other 50 percent The other 50 percent of the mill focuses on mental health and school security; career and technical education and STEM options; instructional resources, supplies and technology; and early childhood education.

“We recognize that social, emotional safety is every bit as important as physical safety and security,” said John McDonald, executive director of the district’s security and emergency management. “HavSEE MILL LEVY, P10

West Metro Fire refers measure to the November ballot The department wants to stabilize its budget, without raising taxes.

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Pam Bales knows firsthand how crucial it is for emergency response teams to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Four years ago, her son fell off a three-story balcony.

He landed on his face, and suffered from a severe traumatic brain injury.

He spent the next seven weeks at Craig Hospital recovering. Now healthy, he recently graduated with an associate’s degree from Red Rocks Community College.

Bales credits the West Metro Fire Rescue team for getting her son to the hospital in a timely matter. She even tracked down one of the firemen who helped her son to thank him in person.

“You don’t really know that you need (public safety services) until it happens to you. It’s emotional,” Bales said. “It can be your wife, your son, your daughter. My son is a miracle kid.”

Bales is supporting West Metro Fire Rescue’s November ballot initiative that would allow it to adjust its mill level in order to avoid losing funds in case there is a drop in the residential

assessment rate.

West Metro Fire Rescue is worried about the consequences of the Gallagher Amendment, part of the Colorado Constitution that sets the state’s residential property tax valuations and assessment rates. The residential rate is expected to drop from 7.2 percent to 6.1 percent next year. That drop would cause West Metro Fire Rescue to lose $5 million, and that is why the district wants to “de-Gallagherize.”

The department’s 2018 budget was a little over $68 million.

West Metro Fire Rescue Chief Don Lombardi is concerned that a loss of funds would have consequences on the department’s work.

“We’re not raising anybody’s taxes.

We’re just asking to maintain what we get from (residents) today,” Lombardi said. “It will allow us to provide the same services that we do today.

We know from talking to our community that having good response times is very important.”

The department’s emergency calls have increased by 50 percent over the last 10 years, largely due to an increased population and an aging community. By keeping the residential property tax rate at 7.2 percent, West Metro Fire Rescue says it’ll be able to continue to provide services that the community needs. If not, the district will have to close at least one firehouse and cut staff, leading to longer response times.

GALLAGHER EXPLAINED The Gallagher Amendment is an amendment to the Colorado Constitution passed in 1982.

It was created to limit how much Colorado homeowners pay in property taxes.

Gallagher reduces the percent of property value that is subject to taxation (the assessed value) when statewide total residential property values increase faster than business property values. When home values increase faster than business values, homeowners pay less in taxes. When the assessment rate drops, departments like West Metro Fire Rescue lose funds, because it depends on property taxes.

Response times and less staff aren’t the department’s only concerns. If the tax rate decreases, West Metro Fire Rescue says that it’ll have less funds for equipment for firefighters and lifesaving medical equipment. Last year, the department received over 34,000 emergency calls, and over 70 percent of those calls were for emergency medical services.

“We have had to make hard choices to contain costs and be mindful of our commitment to provide our residents with the best fire, emergency, medical and educational services. However, we simply cannot sustain our service levels in the face of the impending cuts,” Lombardi said.

‘You don’t really know that you need (public safety services) until it happens to you. It’s emotional,’ Pam Bales, parent Party has yet to take a side on this issue as it finishes its voter ballot guide.

However, the party still has some thoughts on the issue.

“There are over 3,000 special districts in Colorado. If they all deGallagherize, it may be best if this is dealt with on a statewide basis,” said Jefferson County Republican Party Chairman Joe Webb.

West Metro Fire is a full-service fire department that serves over 250,000 residents. It covers over 108 square miles in Jefferson County and Douglas County, and it has 17 stations.

Round pizza and roundhouses celebrated in Wheat Ridge STAFF REPORT

The city of Wheat Ridge, Wheat Ridge Business Association (WRBA), and the Wheat Ridge Chamber of Commerce recognized outstanding businesses in the community at the 15th Annual Business Appreciation Awards Breakfast. Local leaders and members of the business community joined Mayor Bud Starker to honor the achievements of Wheat Ridge businesses.

The 2018 award recipients are: * Businesses of the Year – Infinitus Pie and Personal Achievement and Martial Arts * Reinvestment Award – Fruitdale Lofts * Cultural Commission Award – Sweet Ridge Studios * City Council Partnership Award – Britta Fisher, former ED Localworks * Mayor’s Partnership Award – WR City Manager Patrick Goff * WRBA Rising Star Award – Brandy and Amber Zamudio * WRBA Member of the Year – Jadon Wiens * Wheat Ridge Chamber Business of the Year – Pearman Law Firm * Wheat Ridge Chamber Outstanding Volunteer Member – Dominic Breton * Special Recognition Award – Peak

Beverage Citizen’s and local businesses nominated their choice for the Business of the Year and the Reinvestment Award.

Nominations were reviewed and winners selected by a team of Jefferson County business professionals. The individual or organization sponsoring the other awards selected their winners.

Infinitus Pie was honored for many reasons, including the businesses’ efforts to divert more than 90 percent of its waste through recycling and compost. Tips at IPIE compensate staff but also contribute to the Infinitus Dream Scholarship Fund. To date they have distributed more than $64,000 in scholarships.

Personal Achievement Martial Arts offers programs in local elementary schools. From after-school programs, to gym teacher for-a-day classes, staff volunteer and raise money. This past year the company raised and donated more than $10,000 to local schools.

For the past few summers, they have also partnered with Megan’s Place, working with special needs children as a way to help them find fun healthy activities. Personal Achievement was the 2018 Carnation Festival Parade winner for the “Best Business Entry.”

Months overdue: 23 Current step: As of Sept. 20, The Denver Transit Partners, the Regional Transportation District’s public-private partner to design, build, operate and maintain RTD’s commuter rail lines, including the G-Line, filed a lawsuit against RTD claiming that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) have changed the rules or interpretation of the rules and that is why the final approvals have not been completed.

The main problem is the operation of the street crossing gates. DTP is seeking more money from RTD, claiming that DTP is not to blame for the increased costs associated with these issues.

Simulated THE schedule testing on the G Line commuter rail alignment between downtown Denver and Wheat Ridge is now testing 12 hours a day, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Estimated opening day: Not yet determined Officials say: “The RTD Board is extremely disappointed that things have come to this pass,” said Doug Tisdale, RTD’s Board Chair.

“The Board fully understands and respects the legal process, and the right of parties to resort to that process. While the Board regrets DTP’s action, we are confident that RTD’s position will ultimately prevail.”

and armed patrol is needed in today’s school environment. The other piece to that though, is social, emotional safety for students struggling. We’ve seen suicide threat assessments increase — and our teams do a wonderful job, but to keep up it requires that we have the same supports in place.”

McDonald said the issues in high school and decade ago are now issues his team sees in middle school today.

Those range from eating disorders to cutting and suicidal ideation to sexual abuse.

“Any number of things they are happening in today’s environment,” McDonald said. “We really have to make sure we’re protecting both sides of the student safety spectrum. What the mill levy recognizes is that there is a need for both and we need to make

sure we have those people in place.”

Superintendent Dr. Jason Glass said the additional funds from the mill will also allow for the district to cover expenses of instructional materials included books, ipads and chrombooks, which are currently being paid for by individual schools or through parent fees.

Ten percent of mill dollars would be dedicated to expanding full-day early childhood education.

Glass said this includes expanding the early learning program to more sites in addition to moving to a fullday program.

“We’d be moving it to a school day and we’d be working to increase the quality of the staff that are in those schools to have certified and licensed Colorado Department of Education certified teachers.”

Currently teachers in the Jeffco early learning program have Department of Health certification, which are not the same as a teachers’ license.

VOICES Empathy demands outrage over abuses

A

nother week, another #MeToo. In fact, the events of last week generated another hashtag – #WhyIDidntReport – after a spectacularly uninformed tweet from Donald Trump questioned why one of Brett KaAndrea Doray vanaugh’s accusers, Professor Christine Blasey Ford, did not report her alleged sexual assault by the Supreme Court nominee when it happened 36 years ago. As of this writing, there have been more than 675,000 responses to #WhyIDidntReport, making it the top trend-

ing topic worldwide.

If you’re curious about why women don’t report – we are ashamed, we fear retaliation, we’re convinced that we will not only be disbelieved but also blamed – you can find the answers from almost any news outlet. As a victim of both harassment and retaliation, I could tell you my own stories.

I’m not writing here to discuss Trump or the Kavanaugh drama that continues to unfold. Rather, I’m reacting to the reactions to this situation and other #MeToo revelations. Apparently, every organization, every politician – in fact, every interested observer – takes sexual harassment and sexual assault “very seriously.” These people find the allegations “troubling,” and they affirm their commitments to a “diverse

and inclusive environment.” Forgive my skepticism in the age of Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, Les Moonves, and the various other predators who have become household names. Plus, let’s not forget that religious institutions and women such as Asia Argento (herself a Weinstein victim) have also been accused of “sexual misconduct.”

But I digress.

What I’m really reacting to are the fervent declarations from people who cite their daughters, wives, sisters, girlfriends or mothers as the reasons they are troubled. Take, for example, what University of Southern California President C. L. Max Nikias said when confronted with the accounts of hundreds of young women sexually abused by a gynecologist at USC’s stu-

Ah, there’s the rub. Would Nikias – or anyone else who invokes a beloved friend or relative – be so troubled otherwise? I admit, I’ve been guilty of this myself, because putting a face, especially a familiar face, on trauma helps us to empathize, to realize that someone we know or love could become a victim.

But to define a victim’s worth – any victim, female or male – to define that person’s worth only in relationship to someone else is to deny her or his essential humanity as an individual.

Nor should a woman need to be famous to rouse our interest, attention or even awareness. I’m grateful to celebrities and others who have used their public profiles to spotlight the shame, blame, and retaliation both they and ordinary women face when they come forward.

I’m grateful they have helped articulate why victims choose to remain silent, sometimes for decades.

Just as we don’t need to be parents to be stunned, shocked, sickened by school shootings, we also shouldn’t need to imagine a woman we know being violated to be outraged.

It’s irrelevant to whom she is related.

When one individual, one human being, is ever abused – harassed, groped or assaulted – by another who holds some sort of power over him or her, that is the entire outrage.

I have neighbors who spend hundreds of dollars every month on tutors and spend countless hours helping their kids learn what they should have learned at school, like me, they do not want to pay additional taxes.

For the bond if you want to know what the proposed projects are, you have to look up each of the 155 schools in Jeffco to find the information.

Colorado Commission on Higher Education needs to approve it. Cocallas expects Mines to submit it to the commission in January with anticipated approval in February.

Some plans in the current master plan include new research buildings and student housing, in addition to other development. The plan is divided into seven campus communities — research, athletics, Mines Park, innovation hub and west, central and south campus — and the Edgar Experimental Mine in Idaho Springs.

“This master plan does not require acquiring more land,” Cocallas said, but noted at a recent community meeting that if attractive properties become available, the school will consider buying them.

For Atkins and other community members, the hypothetical proposition that Mines would buy city property is a concern. They feel Mines can contain its growth within its boundaries, such as in the core of campus or Mines Park, for example.

Along with land and property acquisition, another community concern is preserving the historic integrity of places both on and off campus.

Sandy McCray has lived in Golden for 19 years, with nearly 17 of those in the same house in the East Street Historic District.

“A significant part of Golden’s charm is its history, best exemplified by the exquisite historic buildings around town,” she said, adding many of these buildings are on Mines campus. “I feel so strongly that we need to preserve this history, because once it’s gone, we can never get it back.”

had lunch duty every day, as well.

For slightly less money than he was making in Texas.

Needless to say, my friend moved back to Texas after three years.

The thing is, none of the other “Head Coaches” in Jefferson County really realize how ridiculous their job is, because it’s just how we’ve always done things — it’s our inertial default.

Never mind that the divorce rate in the coaching field is astronomical, or that many coaches leave the field once they realize that there is a life to be

had somewhere else. It’s just so much a part of what we do that nobody considers that it should change.

Most businesses have similar tendencies, which is part of why I am not averse to change or bringing in fresh blood. We all get blinded to parts of our culture once we live in it for a while, and, sometimes it takes an outside perspective to recognize the quirks and foibles therein.

Speaking of which, the new administration at the middle school I wrote about last week with the dan-

gerous traffic issue has proactively dedicated staff to solving somebody else’s infrastructure problem so that their kids remain safe. I’m sure there’s a better use for their time, but kudos to them.

Ideally, McCray would like to see “better considerations from both Mines and the city” on the university’s new building placement, design guidelines and height restrictions.

This would help “maintain our gorgeous backdrop views as well as our small-town feel,” McCray said.

Currently, Mines has three major projects in the works. Construction recently began on Mines’ first parking garage — a four-level, 650 parking space structure located at 13th and Maple streets. It is expected to be complete by December 2019.

The other two projects are student housing. A groundbreaking ceremony for Jackson Hall, 1750 Jackson St., took place on Sept. 4. The apartment-style housing will be primarily for sophomores.

A groundbreaking for Welch Hall, located at 18th and Illinois streets, is expected to take place later this fall.

This residence hall will be traditional dorm-style living for freshmen.

Mines is striving to meet three goals when it comes to student housing, Cocallas said. The first is for all freshmen to live on campus, and this goal has been met. The second is currently being worked on, and it is for all sophomores to live on campus. The third is to provide housing for 60 percent of the student body.

on campus provides,” Cocallas said.

Having enough attainable housing for everyone who wants to live here is one of Golden’s challenges, said Tim Walsh, founder and CEO of Confluence Companies — the real estate development company working with Mines on Jackson Hall.

Being able to provide housing for Mines students will help free up available housing for others — nonstudents — and will reduce traffic congestion and parking overcrowding because students won’t need to commute, Walsh said.

said Marv Kay, a 1963 graduate of Mines who has been involved with the university as faculty since 1966.

He currently works part-time as the development/fundraiser consultant for the Colorado School of Mines Foundation. Kay has lived in Golden since 1966 — not counting his time as a Mines student — and served as a city councilor and four terms as mayor from 1988-1996.

“The two go together,” Kay said of Mines and Golden, adding both are fortunate to have each other. “That’s why it’s important for everybody to work together.”

For Mines to continue on its path of excellence, it needs to grow. But it must do so within the confines of Golden, Kay said. Neither the university nor the community will get exactly what it wants, when it wants it, but “how you reach that middle ground is by gaining an understanding from both sides,” Kay said. “The key to getting that is open communication between the university, the community and city staff.”

There are many positive future impacts of Mines’ growth, Alexander said. These include “increased national and international visibility, more opportunities for students to attend Mines, greater and broader funding for research and a more varied research environment,” he said.

“Increasing our size also increases the number of alumni, and therefore, our impact on the world,” Alexander said. “Many Mines students, as scientists and engineers, are also generally concerned about issues like sustainability. We care about impacting the world in a positive way. If we can help grow Mines in a way that maintains or improves its overall character and quality, that is an inherently worthwhile activity in its own right.”

Impact on housing As it is, most of Mines’ students don’t live in Golden because there’s limited housing available in the community, Cocallas said. Most students live in other cities — some beyond Denver — and commute each day.

Having students live on campus creates community through social interaction, they tend to do better academically and “there’s a better retention rate when they have the support that living

Part of the community Confluence Companies has been a part of the Golden community for 12 years, Walsh said, and is sensitive to Mines’ needs and those of the community.

“Having a college campus in the middle of the community adds to the vibrancy, diversity and sustainability of the town,” Walsh said. “And it’s an economic driver.”

Students walk downtown, shop at local retailers and dine in Golden’s restaurants, he added.

Mines competes with universities across the world to get the highestachieving students, said Colorado School of Mines President Paul Johnson during the Sept. 4 groundbreaking ceremony for Jackson Hall.

Considering that about half of them come from out of state, he said, it’s important that the school can provide housing for them.

But not only that, “we want them here to be able to take advantage of resources at Mines and in Golden,” Johnson said. “They can really feel like they’re a part of Golden and Mines.”

Golden is one of the greatest assets of the university, and Mines is one of the greatest assets of the community,

Finding fellowship in cosplay Three participants’ mission is to bring practice back to art form

t took Chris Clarke about five minutes to completely transform from plainclothes civilian to cosplay hero.

First, he pulled his armor, made of ethylene-vinyl acetate foam, over his legs. Then came the chest plate. The final piece, a converted motorcycle helmet with foam aesthetics was placed on his head, and he was Altera Blademaster, a humanoid from the video game “Monster Hunter: Frontier G.” The suit won Clarke the Best in Show at GalaxyFest and Cheyenne Comic Con, as well as a judge’s award at Denver Comic Con, all in 2017. He carefully measured every edge and curve to fit the exact model of the blademaster’s complicated armor.

The armor, helmet and scepter took months to finish and cost about $400.

“A lot of people are like, ‘I want to be that character,’” Clarke said. “I just picked mine because it was big

and it was spikey.”

On this hot summer evening at Lions Park in Golden, as the Sept. 16 cycling race rolled into town, Clarke, 34 of Commerce City, and two friends had come for a photo shoot for this story about the meaning of cosplay.

Clarke’s transformation instantly drew stares from passersby. The suit makes Clarke look like an action figure, or, more specifically, a real live video game avatar, over his all-black elastic heat gear and leggings.

Cosplay — a combination of “costume” and “play” — is the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book or video game. It’s mostly popular in the realms of manga or anime, traiditional Japanese animations, and is used as an outlet of expression, either based on relation to a certain character, resemblance to a character or for the challenge of the costume itself.

Clarke’s costume is specific for competition, but the meaning of cosplay is deeper to him than just for winning trophies. He started an online group, Colorado Academy of Cosplay, to be a home for a community of about 350 cosplayers from around the state that specializes in educating beginners into the art of cosplay.

As Clarke strode across the parking lot at Lions Park, his form even

Chris Clarke cosplays in the Altera Blademaster armor from the video game “Monster Hunter: Frontier G.” His costume cost about $400 and won him three competition awards in 2017, two Best in Show awards from Cheyenne Comic Con and GalaxyFest and a judge’s award from Denver Comic Con. NICK PUCKETT resembled some sort of animation, walking almost robotically yet powerful and confident. He met his two co-founders of the Colorado Academy of Cosplay, Jennifer “Suvi” Losty, 33 of Lone Tree, and Elena Mathys, 21, of Golden.

s a musical organization that has been in existence since 1977, it can be a challenge to put together a season that feels fresh every year. But that is a challenge Lakewood Symphony Orchestra Music Director Matt Switzer relishes.

“Planning a season is approached from many directions — how many concerts, how many soloists, what COMING repertoire has been ATTRACTIONS performed in the past five to seven years, what works will challenge the orchestra?” he explained. “The 2018-2019 season came together from a repertoire that hasn’t been performed by the orchestra in a number of years, an exciting Clarke Reader new repertoire that the orchestra has never performed and thematic choices of repertoire to pull it all together.”

That theme is “Music By the Book,” and the season officially kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 4, at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, with the “Classics” program.

The show will feature works from Mozart, including his opera “Don Giovanni,” and Dvorak’s “New World Symphony.” The soloist for the concert will be Emily Switzer, who last performed with the symphony in 2013 and has furthered her musical education at Tanglewood, Music Academy of the West, Yale University and Yale School of Music.

The season continues with “Leisure” on Nov. 15, the annual holiday concert on Dec. 6 and 7, the Children’s Corner performance on Feb. 2, “Romance” on March 7, “Nature” on April 18 and season-closer “Action and Adventure” on May 30. The “Action and Adventure” performance also features the presentation of the 2019 winner of the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra Young Artist Concerto Competition.

“No matter which concert you attend this season with the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra, you can be assured of compelling music, fantastic soloists and great value,” Switzer said. “This season will be fantastic.”

COSPLAY

How to get into cosplay

FROM PAGE 16

Losty cosplays as Valka, a main character from the movie “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” and Mathys cosplays as Bandit Sivir, a battle mistress from the video game “League of Legends.”

The three formed the Colorado Academy of Cosplay in June as a group designed “for cosplayers, by cosplayers” to essentially bring back the purity of the art form. The group took off in just three months.

They were frustrated by what they saw as tarnishing the name of cosplay. First of all, they said, the changing competition rules from local conventions made it difficult for serious competitors to compete.

Mathys also explained how the art of cosplay has been diluted by people seeking attention and by followers, using the opportunity to dress in skimpy or scandalous outfits that is common among cosplay outfits.

“At a lot of competitions, there’s a lot of body-shaming … That should not be happening,” Mathys said. “Cosplay is for everyone.

Cosplay is for anyone. Cosplay shouldn’t be about followers. It should be about art, the effort, the friends that you make and the community.”

Clarke, Losty and Mathys take pride in the details of their costumes — Losty spent more than $500 on hers.

To them, there’s a constant drive to approach perfection, even though they admittedly won’t ever be completely satisfied.

Cosplay also provides social opportunities. Mathys goes to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Clarke is a lab technician and Losty works in software.

“By nature,” Losty said, “we’re all introverts.”

That is just the case with “Lungs,” the new show running at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, through Oct. 14. Written by Duncan Macmillan, directed by Len Matheo, the show features two of the metro-area’s finest actors (and real-life married couple), Adrian Egolf and Luke Sorge.

The show follows a couple as they tackle questions of family and change, hope, betrayal, dumb luck and the wounds — both self-inflicted and not — that arise in a relationship.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Call 303-935-3044 or visit www.minersalley.com for tickets.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Courtney Barnett at the Ogden Theatre Many think pieces over the years, especially recently, propose rock as a music genre is dead. The people who hold that belief clearly haven’t spent much time listening to indie and alternative rock, where artists like Courtney Barnett and Katie Crutchfield are making rock more inventive than ever.

Barnett and Crutchfield’s band, Waxahatchee, will be storming the stage at the Ogden Theatre, 935 E.

C Jennifer Losty cosplays as Valka from the movie “How to Train Your Dragon 2.” Losty said she chose Valka based on a connection to the character. NICK PUCKETT Nearby, the “Golden Giddyup” mountain bike race drew a crowd of hundreds to Lions Park.

For the most part, the trio of cosplayers drew confused stares and gaping mouths, with the exceptional thumbs-up or passing biker shouting “You guys are my heroes.”

In a situation when most people would feel awkward or uncomfortable dressed up as if they’re going to a costume party — as one little boy pointed out — dressing together in cosplay provided almost a heightened sense of self-confidence.

“I’m not super social,” Mathys said.

“Personally, going out and seeing people, talking to strangers isn’t something I do on the normal.

“There’s strength in numbers. You know you’re not being singled out. There’s support from people behind you.”

Colfax Ave., Denver, at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, and 8 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30.

Australia’s Barnett released her eagerly-awaited sophomore album, “Tell Me How You Really Feel,” earlier this year and it’s one of 2018’s most literate and enjoyable albums.

And in September, Waxahatachee released a new EP, “Great Thunder,” full of song sketches that are better than most musician’s best efforts.

Grab your tickets to the show at www.ogdentheatre.com.

Bug out this Halloween If you think nobody likes being stung or bitten by an insect, then clearly you’ve never heard of Dr. Justin Schmidt.

Schmidt is an entomologist who has been stung by 83 different species.

Imagine that. If you have questions — beyond the obvious — then Bugtober is the exhibit for you.

The Butterfly Pavilion, 6252 W. 104th Ave., will be hosting Bugtober, a Halloween-themed event that highlights the most dangerous of the invertebrates, from Oct. 1-31.

The exhibit dives into species that use powerful venoms and poisons to ward off predators and capture unsuspecting prey. Some of the toxic creatures include the red bark scorpion, metallic pinktoe tarantula, Colorado tiger centipede, white-eyed assassin bugs, velvet ants, giant African mil-

lipede and orb weavers.

There will also be a trivia night, indoor trick-or-treating, flash light tours and more. And prepare those questions for Schmidt, who will be at the Pavilion from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 18. He’ll be talking about the creation of the Schmidt Pain In-

dex and has been featured on several television shows.

We are pleased that the Jefferson County Commissioners view themselves as partners with the business community by understanding that their investment will yield a greater return by eliminating this tax.” — Kristi Pollard, president and CEO of the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation.

“I am thrilled to have been a champion of businesses. The business personal property tax is a bad tax that discourages businesses from growing and locating in Jefferson County. I have advocated for years to eliminate this job killing measure, and I am pleased to have been able to lead the charge at eliminating it in Jefferson County.” — Jefferson County Commissioner Libby Szabo.

Fast facts on BPPT What is BPPT? BPPT stands for business personal property tax. The state defines business personal property as “equipment, machinery, furniture, security devices, household furnishings and signs which are used for the production of income or in the operation of a business.”

Colorado business owners must itemize their business personal property and pay taxes annually on the value of their business personal property tax.

Where does the state legislature stand on BPPT? BPPT has been a long-time issue

Pros and cons BPPT Pro: According to the Denver Business Journal, “a number of counties that are heavily agricultural or that have a substantial amount of land that is federally owned get as much as 20 percent of their annual revenues from the tax.”

Con: The Denver Business Journal writes that “many companies feel they are being double-taxed for both the buildings they occupy and the equipment that is inside them.”

On Sept. 18, the Board of County Commissioners voted to eliminate its portion of business personal property tax (BPPT), payable to its general fund.

The elimination of the tax does not apply to any other county funds, such as library, urban renewal or other special district funds.

The effort was spearheaded by the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation (Jeffco EDC) and county commissioners Libby Szabo and Tina Francone.

The Jeffco EDC believes “the elimination of the tax will increase the county’s competitive advantage in attracting and expanding primary employers, encourage economic growth and strengthening the county’s business-friendly environment. But more importantly, it supports the retention of the businesses that have already chosen Jefferson County as home,” states a press release.

presented in the state legislature.

A recent effort, House Bill 181036, failed on Feb. 1. It would have increased the exemption of BPPT value from $7,400 to $50,000, beginning in the 2018 tax year and would be adjusted for inflation for subsequent property tax cycles.

A roll, around Golden, in the hay

ey there.

No, wait … I mean hay there.

No, that can’t be right, or can it? Hey? Hay? This is the kind of thing that makes learning the English language a little bit harder for folks from other countries. The same word is spelled a couple of different ways and means totally different things depending on AVENUE how it’s spelled. It wouldn’t be so bad if FLASHES there were only a few things that worked that way but our language is filled with little oddities like that in almost every conversation.

Well, today I’m going to use that particular example in the John Akal same sentence. Hey there, there’s a hay ride happening in Golden this weekend. Do you know what’s scary about that? Almost all of you understand what I just said without giving it any thought at all. I’m sure there is some extensive and expensive psychological study out there that can explain how we do that, but most of us really don’t care. I think it’s something like how an outfielder knows whether to run backwards or forwards just by hearing the crack of a baseball bat before they get a chance to see the ball’s trajectory.

Meanwhile, back to the hay ride.

So, it’s finally officially fall and it’s one of the season’s traditions to include a hayride somewhere. Usually they are something for kids on a quaint farm that also has a pumpkin patch and a crazy corn maze. But the one I’m talking about is actually one for adults and will be circling around downtown Golden.

The full name of this event is the Golden Hayride and Beer Tour 2018.

Yeah, now I got your attention, huh?

It’s going to be happening on several Friday’s coming up as well as one Saturday. The Fridays will be Sept.28, Oct. 5 and 12. The one Saturday will be on Oct. 6. It leaves at 6 p.m. and circles around town stopping at several of Golden’s finest pubs, bars and restaurants.

Basically, at 6 p.m. everyone shows up for a meet and greet at Colorado Plus 49 Cidery & Pub located at 1100 Arapahoe Street for the first beer sample and an appetizer. Then at about 6:30 p.m. you get on the hay wagon (OK, it’s actually a flatbed truck with hay bails) and it makes stops at the Golden City Brewery, New Terrain Brewing Co., Goosetown Event Center (this stop will include a sample from Holidaily Brewing Company and a wine sample from OneHope Wine), Jolynn’s Food and Spirits and Barrels and Bottles Brewery. It concludes at about 9:30 p.m. with a drop-off at Miner’s Saloon and Old Capitol Grill with your choice of going to either place for your final beer sample.

Your $40 ticket gets you a souvenir cup for a sample beer at each stop, a cupcake from Gold Mine Cupcakes, and appetizers at several stops. You are going to need to make a reservation and buy your tickets in advance and can do so by going to www.eventbrite.com or by calling (303) 277-9222.

A couple of things to note. This is an “adult” event, not a family ride and is open to people 21 years of age and over. They also care about your safety and ask that you have a designated driver or other safe mode of transportation home. Keep your ride share apps handy for this one.

So, as they say, “Sample beers with your buds at Golden’s finest pubs.”

This looks like a real hoot.

As long as we are talking about beer…

A group of Golden neighbors has purchased the historic Golden Mill building at 1012 Ford Street in order to bring it back to life as a community gathering spot and a celebration of food and music and more. They are hosting a Golden Mill Block Party on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 1-4 p.m. and invite you to come see what they have planned for the future.

They will have live music from Golden-based band Burn It Blue, local art, the Rolling Smoke BBQ food truck, a bouncy house for the kids, and a cash bar with beer (yes, more beer) donated by the AC Golden Brewing Company and all profits donated to the Golden Civic Foundation. It’s free to attend but RSVPs are required so if you are interested, look for it at www.eventbrite.com as well and get your free tickets there. Did I mention that we have a little beer here in Golden? If Adolf Coors could see what he started…

Golfers to keep eye on the ball at tourneys

F Golden senior pitcher Cassidy Paulson fires to the plate during the Demons’ 5-2 road victory against Wheat Ridge on Sept. 18 at Pennington Softball Field in Wheat Ridge.

Big inning lifts Golden over rival Wheat Ridge

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

WHEAT RIDGE — Golden senior Cassidy Paulson doesn’t fear facing softball rival Wheat Ridge.

It was a scary start for the Demons’ four-year varsity pitcher against the Farmers. Paulson pitched against Wheat Ridge in a Class 4A Jeffco League game as a freshman back in 2015. Paulson pitched 1.1 innings giving up 10 runs on 10 hits while getting hammered for four home runs.

“My freshman year I got skyrocketed,” Paulson admitted talking about her outing as a freshman against the Farmers. “Those girls smacked it over the fence on me like nobody’s business.”

A lot has changed since the Farmers’ handed Paulson a 19-2 loss three years ago. On Tuesday, Golden managed to make it backto-back conference victories in back-to-back seasons at Pennington Softball Field in Wheat Ridge.

Enzo Franzese, D’Evelyn The senior running back gained 85 yards on the ground (including a touchdown), and another 35 yards in the air Sept. 21, to help his team beat Ft. Lupton 33-7.

ormer Major League Baseball player Alex Rodriguez hit a home run with his comment that hard work doesn’t guarantee success but without it you don’t have a chance. Several hard-working area golfers will be among the individual contenders at the three boys state high school OVERTIME golf tournaments set for Oct. 1-2 after posting low scores in regional qualifying tournaments.

Two of those individuals are Arapahoe’s Jack Tickle and Riley Rottschaefer, who tied for medalist honors at the Sept.

Jim Benton 19 Class 5A Southern Regional with 1-under-par scores of 71 at Murphy Creek Golf Course and led the Warriors to the regional team title.

“Jack was really serious about this golf season,” said Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner. “He practiced every day this summer and played in many tournaments. He would call other players on the team at eight o’clock in the morning and ask them if they wanted to hit balls. He deserves the season he is having. He worked hard and he is as steady of a golfer as I have ever had and has a good chance at state.

“Riley hits the ball a mile. He is left-handed and has a left-hander’s mentality. There isn’t a par-five that he can’t reach in two. Jack and Riley both have complete games, length, finesse and touch.”

The 5A state tourney will be at the Colorado Springs Country Club while the 4A state event is set for The Club at Flying Horse in Colorado Springs.

The Boulder County Club host sthe 3A tournament.

And, after looking at regional scores that I can only write about and never shoot, it appears there are dozens of individuals and several teams that have a chance to capture top honors assuming they work hard on the golf course for two October days.

Valor Christian’s Jake Welch carded a 4-under-par 68 at Legacy Ridge for the low round at the Central Regional on Sept. 17 and helped the Eagles tie for the team title which Fairview won in a playoff.

Tarek Salem of Highlands Ranch was in a four-player tie for second at the Western Regional held at Redlands Mesa Golf Club with a 1-over-par 73.

He was also deadlocked with Jack Larson and Gage Messingham of Ralston Valley, who sparked the Mustangs to the team title. Horizon’s Ryan Bomareto was the individual winner with a 1-under 71.

For woman living with lung cancer, Red Rocks run ‘an epic milestone’ Lung association’s annual fundraising event set for Oct. 14

IF YOU GO WHAT: Run the Rocks is a 5K Run/Walk and a 10K Run sponsored by the American Lunch Association.

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lisa Moran was at the top of her physical game during the summer of 2015: She walked almost 40 miles a week as a letter carrier and ran one 5K a week.

After living in Colorado Springs for almost 20 years, she decided to challenge herself by climbing the Manitou Incline, a 2,744-step staircase that goes one mile straight up Mount Manitou.

“I knew it was a challenge,” Moran, 47, said, “and I knew I could do it because of how inshape I was.”

And she did.

But difficulty breathing on the climb and a persistent cough soon led her to the doctor. That’s when Moran — a non-smoker — was diagnosed with inoperable, incurable, stage IV lung cancer.

But she didn’t let the diagnosis hold her down.

Moran started treatment that September and, just a month later — with her friends, Team Peace, Lungs & Happiness — participated in the American Lung Association in Colorado’s Run the Rocks 5K, a walk/run through Red Rocks Park in Morrison ending on the amphitheater steps.

“We didn’t know what was going to happen with my diagnosis,” she said. “We didn’t know if it would be the last time we would be together because I had been diagnosed with inoperable, incurable, late-stage terminal cancer. But our first experience was so amazing we decided it would be a yearly tradition. It gives me something to focus on and look forward to each year.”

Moran participated in targeted therapy and radiation

Friday, Oct. 14

Thousands of runners participate in Run the Rocks hosted by the Lung Association at Red Rocks annually. treatment to her lung and spine and, within eight months of her diagnosis, was told by doctors there was “no evidence of disease.”

But lung cancer is tricky and aggressive and finds ways to resist treatment. The cancer resurfaced and Moran is now on her third round of targeted therapy.

“Two out of three therapy treatments were FDA-approved the year I was diagnosed, which is why lung cancer research funding is so important to me,” Moran explained.

Last year, in addition to her battle with lung cancer, Moran was diagnosed with an unrelated progressive brain disease.

In the last year alone, she had brain surgery and suffered a stroke that paralyzed the left side of her body and caused her to lose her peripheral vision.

But she refuses to give up.

She regained movement on the left side of her body and instead

The Demons defeated the Farmers 13-3 last season to break a longtime losing streak against Wheat Ridge.

“Last year was very emotional,” Paulson said after the 5-2 victory Sept.

18 over Wheat Ridge. “To do it two years in a row is very special.”

Paulson was key on the hill and at the plate Tuesday.

After giving up two runs on six hits as the Farmers (12-5, 2-2 in league) took an early 2-0 lead, the veteran pitcher settled in. Paulson retired 10 straight Wheat Ridge batters, gave up just one hit over the final five innings and didn’t allow a Farmer past first base after the second inning.

of leaving acute rehab in a wheelchair, like doctors told her she would, she walked out the front door with a cane.

She got a puppy this summer — a Labrador mix named Laynie — that has become her walking partner.

“She’s like my little trainer,” Moran said.

Now, Moran plans to take that same determination to conquer the Run the Rocks 5K this October for the fourth year since her diagnosis. She’s been training to increase her walking distance and speed, all with the finish line on the Red Rocks amphitheater steps as her motivation.

Her goal is to finish in 75 minutes with her teammates by her side.

“I averaged a 19-minute mile the other day,” Moran said. “I joked that I would have never been excited about a 19-minute mile before.

“At the end of the day she (Paulson) relaxed and got comfortable with her defense, trusting them,” Golden coach Chad Herbers said. “She shoved it in there and let the defense make the plays.”

Paulson had just three strikeouts, but recorded two Ks in the final inning to close out the victory.

“I think we really saw what (Wheat Ridge batters’) strengths and weaknesses were,” Golden catcher Marla Goodspeed said. “That really helped with pitch calling.”

Golden’ offense needed just one big inning and that came in the top of the fourth inning. Paulson, Makenzie Middleton and Goodspeed started the 4-run fourth with three straight singles. Goodspeed and Haley Prey both had RBI singles to tie the game at 2-2.

GOAL: To raise about $100,000 to support research and lung health programs in Colorado

DID YOU KNOW? Lisa Moran, who never smoked, wants people to know that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer.

“Lung cancer, there is a stigma attached and that is people think only smokers get lung cancer,” she said. “But there are more and more young, healthy, active people being diagnosed.”

According to the American Cancer Society, about 14 percent of all new cancers are lung cancers. Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined.

“Up and down the line-up they did their job,” Hebers said. “The top half set the table to allow the bottom half to drive them in today. That is what we had to have. It was amazing.”

Seven-hole hitter Katherine Dunson delivered with a go-ahead single to left field that dropped and eventually scored a pair of runs to put the Demons (11-6, 4-0) up 4-2.

Paulson helped herself out adding an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning with an RBI single to drive in Makayla Middleton, who had doubled with two outs.

“I was really focused on getting the baserunners over,” Paulson said of her three consecutive singles after striking out her first at-bat. “I wasn’t going to hit if over the fence. I just wanted to move the baserunners.”

The victory was the sixth straight

for the Demons. They outscored their opponents 46-3 during six-game winning streak.

“We started out with a lot of losses,” Paulson said. “We worked really hard because we didn’t want to lose anymore.”

While getting out to a 4-0 start in conference play is nice, Herbers knows the road is still long and treacherous.

“We know Wheat Ridge is still going to be battling for the top of the league,” Herbers said. “We are in the driver’s seat for league if we take care of business. There are teams out there that we can’t go to sleep on.”

Ralston Valley gets shutout win before preparing for rival A-West

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Ralston Valley senior AJ Jergensen had a touchdown cycle late afternoon on Sept. 21 at the North Area Athletic Complex.

Jergensen had a touchdown catch, threw a pair of touchdowns and carried one in on the ground in the Mustangs’ 49-0 victory over Fossil Ridge. It was a nice win for Ralston Valley, No. 10 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A football rankings, after a close loss to 4A No. 1 Loveland the pervious week.

“It’s starts up front with our offensive line,” Jergensen said giving a nod to Ralston Valley’s offense line. “They have done a great job this year and did a great job today.”

Jergensen had a touchdown catch tossed by junior Walker Brickle, along with a pair of touchdown passes to junior Caleb Rillos. The University of San Diego baseball commit finished off his night with an 8-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

“Coaches are just trying to put players in positions to succeed. I think we’re doing a good job with that,” said Jergensen, who split time at quarterback with Brickle in the Mustangs’ non-league finale. “We are getting a lot of guys reps and we’ll be ready for league.”

Senior Brad Roberts got it all started with a 59-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. He added a short touchdown run in the second quarter before Jergensen’s pair of touchdown passes to Rillos.

“Athlete guy and we try to get him (Jergensen) the ball if we can in different spots,” Ralston Valley coach Matt Loyd said.

While the offensive was impressive, Ralston Valley’s defense was outstanding. The Mustangs (4-1 record) held the Sabercats (2-3) to minus-25 net yards in the first half.

Fittingly, Ralston Valley senior Phil Donley finished off the scoring with a pick-6 early in the fourth quarter for the final score of the game.

“It was the same way we attack every other week. We schemed off their offense and we do what we do,” Ralston Valley senior Isaac Townsend said. “We executed well and it showed on the scoreboard.”

Loyd gave a lot of credit to his defensive coordinator Greg Francis for the dominating defensive effort and second shutout victory of the season for Ralston Valley.

“Our defensive coach (Francis) did a good job putting that together,” Loyd said of the Mustangs’ defensive scheme. “He mixed it up with not knowing who was coming each time.

It worked.”

Ralston Valley heads into the second-half of the regular season next week by opening up play in the 5A Metro West League. The Mustangs face rival Arvada West (4-1) at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Sept. 27, at NAAC. The Wildcats suffered their first loss last week, a 50-14 defeat to Eaglecrest. “(Loveland) was a tough loss and we knew we wanted to bounce back before league to get things on track,” Jergensen said. “We are excited and ready to roll.”

BENTON FROM PAGE 23

“Jack and Gage played a very smart round,” said Ralston Valley coach Jeff Wasinger. “They were both very close to the top of the leaderboard all day. Once they posted their scores, we knew we had a two-shot cushion with our number three (Ben Lenahan) and four (Trey Kirschner) still on the course. One of them had to close the deal by paring the final three holes.

Lenahan did it and Kirschner came close.”

Lakewood’s Ryan Liao came in with a 4-under-par 68 at the Northern Regional held at Murphy Creek on Sept. 18 but came in second to Dillon Stewart of team champion Fossil Ridge who fired a 9-under-par 63.

Holy Family’s Jacob Mason carded a 4-under 67 at Common Ground Golf Course to earn the medalist ribbon at the 3A Region 2 tournament and Ponderosa won the 4A Region 2 team title as Mac Konrad secured medalist honors with a 4-over-par 76 on the Silver Course at the Air Force Academy.

“The Colorado Springs Country Club, depending on how the course is set up on tournament days especially the greens, can be a little tricky,” said Wasinger. “The course can play long or short also depending on where they set up the tees. I expect the top scorers to be breaking par but probably not as many as in the four regionals and also probably not as low.”

Anything can happen and has happened at state tournaments.

“There are some good teams in the state and I think if we play “A” golf in Colorado Springs we might be able to

RED ROCKS FROM PAGE 24

“Now the big challenge is that Run the Rocks, the last quarter-mile of the race is ramps and the stairs. That’s going to be a challenge — but I think

surprise these teams that are winning the regionals,” said Highlands Ranch coach Jon Cushing.

Parker power Seems as if schools in Parker are powers this season in girls volleyball.

Chaparral is No.1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll and Lutheran is top-ranked in the 3A ratings. Ponderosa, which plays against the big girls in the 5A Continental League, is second in the 4A poll.

And, the highly regarded status of each program is nothing new and many people still remember six or seven years ago.

Chap compiled a 63-1 record in 2011 and 2012 with two state championships and at one time won 58 dual meets in a row. The Wolverines have had only one losing season in 12 years.

“At Chaparral we put a huge value on the `Chap Fam,’” said Amanda West, who has been head coach at Chaparral for the past four seasons.

“Most of these girls on the current team have played together for a few years and we feel like we have created a small family.”

Lutheran, coached by Alicia Oates, won Class 2A state titles in 2011 and 2012 and was a 3A state runner-up last season under Oates’ mentorship. The Lions were a 2A runner up in 2013.

Ponderosa won the 5A state championship in 2009 and has been a state contending threat in most seasons despite dropping down a classification.

I’ve got it down.”

For Moran, the Run the Rocks’ finish line has been an epic milestone in her life.

“It means I survived another year with stage IV lung cancer,” Maron said with tears in her eyes. “If I can get to that milestone, it means a lot to me.”

Honeyed words of wisdom at Wheat Ridge’s bee festival Fourth annual event extended to 2nd day

Lana Auten, owner of Aint Mis Bee Haiving, talks with customers during the Colorado Honey Festival at Four Seasons Farmers and Artisans Market on Saturday. Auten’s business is a sweet shop of confections, gifts and accessories with a bee theme, she donates 10 percent of profits to bee-related nonprofits. KEVIN SMITH

BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Bees saved Ray Story’s life.

Story had a major stroke, rendering him unable to walk or talk and was told he would never recover.

So he took up beekeeping.

“It would teach me to put the suit on, but then once I learn to put the suit on I’d have to learn to zip it up — I would have to learn each stage,” Story explained.

“So the bees are extremely religious to me … that’s the reason I’m here.”

That was 12 years ago.

Story, who does education and outreach for the Colorado State Beekeepers Association, was one of the speakers at the Colorado Bee Festival this past weekend.

Story can’t say enough good things about honey, but cautions that if it’s not raw and unfiltered than it’s just overrated sugar.

During his presentation Saturday at the honey festival at Four Seasons Farmers & Artisans Market in Wheat

Ridge, Story said many brands of honey are pasteurized and filtered, removing all the health benefits.

There was an emphasis on locally made raw and unfiltered honey during the twoday event that brought several beekeepers and local honey supporters to the festival on 38th Avenue.

“We’ve found there’s huge interest in honey and bees and beekeeping and pollinators,” said Rosiland May, program coordinator at Four Seasons Farmers and Artisans Market. “There’s a real need for education for bees and pollinators. And we just found it’s something people are really passionate about it.”

This was the third year for the festival at Four Seasons in Wheat Ridge and the first time it was a two-day event.

May said adding a second day was to accommodate growing interest as there were an estimated to be more than 1,000 attendees last year.

May said she hopes people become more conscious about the source of their honey and how natural it is.

“It may not even be honey,” May said.

That’s something Story addressed in his presentation.

He said pasteurized honey can be watered down — literally. Story demonstrated with a match. He put a light coating of raw, unfiltered

honey on a match and lit it. It produced smoke.

“Don’t expect a big flame, but it lights and it won’t do that with water,” Story said.

The match won’t light with pasteurized honey because the pasteurization removes the pollen, which makes it then essentially “sugar water.”

When the pollen remains in the honey, it has several benefits. Honey, Story said, is a natural anti-inflammatory.

“If you have allergies, you’re all congested, it reduces the inflammation,” Story said.

He said natural honey also contains amino acids, minerals, enzymes and nutrients from the plants.

There were several vendors selling their honey at the event, and several vendors related to honey production, like PaleoResearch Institute in Golden. R.A. Varney said a honey analysis can test the purity — like if there’s added corn syrup — for consumers or tell producers the source.

He said a client once sent them samples because the honey tasted bitter and PaleoResearch determined the pollen was from eucalyptus.

Jeff Curry had a booth at the event to sell his honey. He’s been a beekeeper for about five

years and was selling honey before that, which is what got him interested in beekeeping. He had several flavors of honey for several, each flavor depended on what the bees were pollinating, he said.

Story said those interested in beekeeping should do research and join a local bee club because most beekeepers stop doing it within two years because the bees die.

Vesselin Dotkov, of Denver, said he was a member of a local bee club for a year before beekeeping. He’s in this third year of beekeeping and was at the festival.

He sells honey primarily out of this home. Dotkov said there’s a big learning curve the first few years as he had to learn how they react to each season and make sure they have enough pollination.

“It’s not a part-time job, it’s ongoing,” Dotkov said of the hobby.

Lauren Adams, of Westminster, was among the attendees on Saturday.

“I’m obsessed with honey,” she said.

Adams grew up in Indiana where her grandparents had beehives. She said she’d like to have a beehive of her own some day.
