City passes annual audit
FIRST TIME FOR TRADITIONS
BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A Littleton-certified public accountant gave the city of Brighton two financial thumbs up for its financial picture through Dec. 31. Haynie & Co. conducted the annual audit. The findings included no proposed adjustments. Brighton City Council got the news during its May 25 meeting. The auditor’s letter to city staff said the firm examined “financial statements of government activities, business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information” for last year. The letter said the cash flow and “budgetary comparison” for the general fund were in line with basic accounting principles. “We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion,” the firm’s letter said. Part of the audit included identification and assessment of what the firm called “material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.” The auditor also evaluated the accounting policies and what it called “reasonableness of significant accounting estimates” from city management. Those, plus other factors, contributed to the firm’s conclusion about potential conditions or events “that raise substantial doubt about the city’s ability to continue … for a reasonable period of time.” The city’s charter requires an annual audit by a council-selected certified public accountant. Talking money The city’s finance department distributed its first-quarter financial report for 2021. It shows an 11 percent increase in tax collections,

Mary Ann (Marty) Wells
June 27, 1932 – April 29, 2021 Mary Ann – Age 88 died on April 29, 2021 in the comfort of her home. Mary Ann was born June 27, 1932 in Stetsonville, WI to the late George and Ella (Waldhart) Baumer. She attended the local elementary school and graduated in 1950 from Medford High School. She continued her education at Stevens Point Teacher’s College (now University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point) and graduated in 1954. She then taught school for several years in Green Bay, WI. A change of careers took her to Aeronautical School in Kansas City. She was hired by United Airlines and sent to the Cleveland Office. She also worked for Northwest Orient and TWA Airlines in Cleveland, Denver, and Albuquerque. On June 1, 1963 she married Frontier Airlines pilot, Kenneth N. Wells. They made their home in Aurora, CO and raised their 2 boys there until 1979. They then moved east of Brighton, CO at Van Aire Skyport. Marty filled her days caring for her home and family. She treasured her church family and, above all, loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a perennial volunteer for years on various school district committees, worked for her church and helped at the Animal Shelter as well as the Brighton Senior Center.

She cared for the neighbor’s animals while they vacationed. The Wells’ home had an “open door” policy, and everyone was warmly welcomed with food or coffee, goodies, and a bed, if necessary.

Tips for older adults emerging from pandemic year It can take time to return to former levels of activity BY JUDITH GRAHAM KAISER HEALTH NEWS
Alice Herb, 88, an intrepid New Yorker, is used to walking miles around Manhattan. But after this year of being shut inside, trying to avoid COVID-19, she’s noticed a big difference in how she feels. “Physically, I’m out of shape,” she said. “The other day I took the subway for the first time, and I was out of breath climbing two flights of stairs to the street. That’s just not me.” Emotionally, Herb, a retired lawyer and journalist, is unusually hesitant about resuming activities even though she’s fully vaccinated. “You wonder: What if something happens? Maybe I shouldn’t be doing that. Maybe that’s dangerous,” she said. Millions of older Americans are similarly struggling with physical, emotional and cognitive challenges following a year of being cooped up inside, stopping usual activities and seeing few, if any, people. If they don’t address issues that have arisen during the pandemic — muscle weakness, poor nutrition, disrupted sleep, anxiety, social isolation and more — these older adults face the prospect of poorer health and increased frailty, experts warn. What should people do to address challenges of this kind? Several experts shared advice: Reconnect with your physician. Large numbers of older adults have delayed medical care for fear of COVID. Now that most seniors have been vaccinated, they should schedule visits with primary care physicians and preventive care screenings, such as mammograms, dental cleanings, eye exams and hearing checks, said Dr. Robert MacArthur, chief medical officer of the Commonwealth Care Alliance in Massachusetts. Have your functioning assessed. Primary care visits should include a basic assessment of how older patients are functioning physically, according to Dr. Jonathan Bean, an expert in geriatric rehabilitation and director of the New England
Hwy. Hwy. 85 Hwy. and Lane Lane 85 and Bromley Lane 85Bromley and Bromley Brighton, CO 80601 Brighton, CO 80601 Brighton, CO 80601
Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center at the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System. At a minimum, doctors should ask, “Are you having difficulty walking a quarter-mile or climbing a flight of stairs? Have you changed the way you perform ordinary tasks such as getting dressed?” Bean suggested. Therapy may be needed Get a referral to therapy. If you’re having trouble moving around or doing things you used to do, get a referral to a physical or occupational therapist. A physical therapist can work with you on strength, balance, range of motion and stamina. An occupational therapist can help you change the way you perform various tasks, evaluate your home for safety and identify needed improvements, such as installing a second railing on a staircase. Don’t wait for your doctor to take the initiative; too often this doesn’t happen. “Speak up and say: Please, can you write me a referral? I think a skilled evaluation would be helpful,” said James Nussbaum, clinical and research director at ProHealth & Fitness in New York City, a therapy provider. Start slow and build steadily. Be realistic about your current abilities. “From my experience, older adults are eager to get out of the house and do what they did a year ago. And guess what. After being inactive for more than a year, they can’t,” said Dr. John Batsis, associate professor of geriatrics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. “I’m a fan of start low, go slow,” Batsis continued. “Be honest with yourself as to what you feel capable of doing and what you are afraid of doing. Identify your limitations. It’s probably going to take some time and adjustments along the way.” Nina DePaola, vice president of post-acute services for Northwell Health, the largest health care system in New York, cautioned that getting back in shape may take time. “Pace yourself. Listen to your body. Don’t do anything that causes discomfort or pain. Introduce yourself to new environments in a thoughtful and a measured fashion,” she said. Be physically active. Engaging reg-

Good eating is key Eat well. Make sure you’re eating a well-balanced diet that includes a good amount of protein. Adequate protein consumption is even more important for older adults during times of stress or when they’re sedentary and not getting much activity, noted a recent study on health aging during COVID-19. Reestablish routines. “Having a structure to the day that involves social interactions, whether virtual or in person, and various activities, including some time outside when the weather is good, is important to older adults,” said Dr. Lauren Beth Gerlach, a geriatric psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at
the University of Michigan. Routines are especially true for older adults with cognitive impairment, who tend to do best when their days have a dependable structure and they know what to expect, she noted. End-of-day routines are also useful in addressing sleep problems, which have become more common during the pandemic. According to a University of Michigan poll, administered in January, 19% of adults ages 50 to 80 report sleeping worse than they did before the pandemic. Reconnect socially. Mental health problems have also worsened for a segment of older adults, according to the University of Michigan poll: 19% reported experiencing more sadness or depression while 28% reported being more anxious or worried. Social isolation and loneliness may be contributing and it’s a good idea to start “shoring up social support” and seeing other people in person if seniors are vaccinated, Gerlach said. Families have an important role to play in re-engaging loved ones with the world around them, Batsis suggested. “You’ve had 15 months or so of only a few face-to-face interactions: Make it up now by visiting more often. Make the effort.” Laura Collins, 58, has been spending a lot of time over the past month with her mother, Jane Collins, 92, since restrictions on visitation at Jane’s nursing home in Black Mountain, North Carolina, eased and both women were vaccinated. Over the past year, Jane’s dementia progressed rapidly and she became depressed, sobbing often to Laura on the phone. “She loves getting outside and that has been wonderful,” Laura said. “Her mood immediately shifts when she gets out of the building: She’s just happy, almost childlike, like a kid going out for ice cream. And, in fact, that’s what we do — go out for ice cream.” This story is from Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit news service covering health issues.

ularly in physical activity of some kind — a walk in the park, chair exercises at home, video fitness programs — is the experts’ top recommendation. The Go4Life program, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging, is a valuable resource for those getting started and you can find videos of some sample exercise routines on YouTube. The YMCA has put exercise classes online, as have many senior centers. For veterans, the VA has Gerofit, a virtual group exercise program that’s worth checking out. Bienvenido Manzano, 70, of Boston, who retired from the Coast Guard after 24 years and has significant lower back pain, attends Gerofit classes three times a week. “This program, it strengthens your muscles and involves every part of your body, and it’s a big help,” he said. Have realistic expectations. If you’re afraid of getting started, try a bit of activity and see how you feel. Then try a little bit more and see if that’s OK. “This kind of repeated exposure is a good way to deal with residual fear and hesitation,” said Rachel Botkin, a physical therapist in Columbus, Ohio. “Understand that this has been a time of psychological trauma for many people and it’s impacted the way we behave,” said Dr. Thomas Cudjoe, a geriatrician and assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore. “We’re not going to go back to pre-pandemic activity and engagement like turning on a light switch. We need to respect what people’s limits are.”

Unusual symptoms of a heart attack, intuition save Fort Lupton woman’s life Men and women tend to have different symptoms BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Shelby Edwards was hiking when she started to experience indigestion, right in the middle of her abdomen. Even though there was no pain, the uncomfortable feeling was even worse the next day. The 64-year-old’s intuition told her something was wrong, and her husband called 911. By the time the ambulance arrived, she had collapsed. “The day before we were hiking at Bear Lake, and I picked up a snowball to throw it at my husband. Then I took off running so he wouldn’t hit me with a snowball. Then suddenly, I felt pressure at the top of my stomach. It didn’t feel right so I slowed down running,” said Edwards. She woke up the next day not feeling well. She went to the restroom and sweat was dripping off her head. She got scared and called her husband, suspecting something was wrong. He called the ambulance; it was the last thing Edwards remembered. She woke up in the hospital. “Shelby’s heart rate and blood pressure were very low. She wasn’t getting a lot of blood flow to her head at that time. She was dizzy, disoriented’ and feeling weak, very washed out and tired. It all made sense,” said Dr. Chris Cannon. Cannon, an interventional cardiologist at Platte Valley Medical in Brighton, attached a temporary external pacemaker to Edwards to support her blood pressure and keep sufficient blood flowing to her brain. He then proceeded to operate by opening the right coronary artery – which was 100 percent blocked – and inserting two stents. The surgery restored Edwards’ blood flow into the artery, and her blood pressure and heart rate recovered. The pacemaker was no longer necessary; three days later, Edwards went home. Walking miracle Platte Valley nurses and physicians call Edwards “the walking miracle.” Her intuition and unusual symptoms with her body that something was wrong kept her alive. Paying attention to less-than-usual symptoms that could be a sign of a heart attack is very important, they said. For more than 20 years, Cannon has seen both usual and unusual symptoms. The usual typical symptom are pain in the center of the chest and also towards the left side

of the chest. Often, the pain radiates towards the left shoulder or into the left arm down into the elbow area; the pain can be sharp. Also, there is pressure, heaviness such as weight sensation on the chest with shortness of breath, sweating and, sometimes, nausea. Cannon said women tend to experience unusual symptoms often with pain in the neck and jaw and sometimes in the middle of the back between both shoulders. A heart attack can come with chest pain or without chest pain along with dizziness, shortness of breath and headache. “With men, traditional symptoms are with chest pain in middle of the chest or the left side and maybe going into that left arm, it’s a more common scenario for men,” said Cannon. Age, genes and other risks Cannon said people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s are more prone to heart attacks. It’s rare for patients ages 30s and 40s to have a heart attack, but doctors have seen patients that young. Prevention is very important by keeping blood pressure under control and maintaining low cholesterol and a well-balanced diet is a key. “There are also genetic components to high cholesterol as well. (In some cases), their liver produces cholesterol, so it’s not all from what we eat. Some people are genetically
D IS C
programmed to produce a lot of cholesterol; others are not. The people that have a lot of cholesterol production are at high risk,” said Cannon. People who eat a very poor diet with lots of sugar and fat are also at higher risk. Smoking cigarettes and diabetes are also risk factors. “Family history are genetic components,” Cannon said. “If you have a strong family history, with parents, brothers or sisters with heart attacks or heart issues, it makes them more likely as well to have a heart attack.” Recovering “The nurses and doctor cared about me,” Edwards said. “If you needed something, they would go out of their way. I was impressed. They treated me well and were excellent.” She and her husband, Aaron Edwards, were in the Navy. Shelby Edwards worked for the Department of Defense, and Aaron worked on a submarine. After the Navy, they moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, then moved to Colorado Springs and now reside in Fort Lupton. Her
husband works as an international trainer for a company in Denver. Edwards said her husband wrote her a letter after her recovery. “He said, ‘I know you could get depressed over regulating your blood pressure. I just want to let you know you’re my wife. You’re my partner. You’re my best friend. And I couldn’t imagine life without you. So, rushing you to the emergency room for your blood pressure is no big deal to me because I would rather do that than not have you,’” she said. Edwards’ goal for the future is to reach everyone’s heart with her dynamic personality. “I think there’s too much hate and too much judgment in the world. My life’s goal if you save one person’s life, say something kind and just be nice to people,” said Edwards. If you have concerns about your heart health, call the SCL Health Heart & Vascular Institute at 303-6597000 to make an appointment with a cardiologist. If you’re experiencing urgent symptoms, call 911 immediately. Acting fast could save your life.

Riverdale Ridge High School dispatches its first grads BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
THORNTON -- The first 187 graduates of Riverdale Ridge High School received their diplomas May 24, plus some words of advice and best wishes for their collective futures from an assortment of speakers. The two-hour program took place on the school’s football field. Class valedictorian Michael Pineiro reminded his classmates they came to RRHS from different backgrounds and different schools. “It was scary,” he said. “I wasn’t sure I wanted to leave my last school. It’s a different transition from junior high school to high
school. We all faced the unknown. But as the days and months and years passed, we had the opportunity to meet new friends and have experiences that proved fruitful.” The class’ chosen faculty speaker, drama teacher Judd Farner, knows a thing or two about change. He went to college with the idea of becoming a teacher, decided he “couldn’t cut it,” then returned by “jumping in with both feet.” “Be a perpetual work in progress. Do the work to add to your community,” he told the graduates. “Do the research. Ask the questions. Don’t be afraid to stop and reflect. Find a partner and elevate your work. Ask for help, even when you’re not comfortable with it.”
Principal Terry Elliott said there were 187 reasons to be excited about the future. “The first year, we had two clubs. Our sports teams were freshmen and sophomores competing against juniors and seniors,” he told the graduates. “Today, we are a comprehensive high school with a number of programs. You helped create a vibrant nest full of opportunities for future students. You emerged from a pandemic with skills that will continue your growth. You developed many skills many of us never had in high school.” “Each of us has worked hard. That got us to where we are,” Pineiro said. “We persevered through
the last and hardest year of high school and through a pandemic. At the end of the day, it was what we learned along the way. Like truly is a journey.” Farner said it was an honor to be asked to speak at graduation, especially the Ravens’ first graduation. “It’s an honor as a teacher to be recognized by your students, to feel that I belong to a community,” he said. Elliott told the grads to “be the same person you’ve been.” “That will give your more energy to focus on your goal,” he said. “Know that I have the greatest respect for every one of you. I could not be more honored to have you as the inaugural graduating class.”

Plan for York & 144th retail space in Thornton approved BY STAFF REPORT
Thornton City Council unanimously approved the conceptual site plan for a five-building retail space in north Thornton. The plan is for the seven-acre parcel on the northeast corner of 144th Avenue and York Street to house boutique-style restaurants and shops, said developer repre-
sentative Max Gansline at a May 25 council meeting. It will be walkable, shops will have outdoor patios and plazas, and it will connect to the area’s trail system. Buildings won’t exceed 30 feet in height. Council held a public hearing for the conceptual site plan, but no public commenters were present. Councilors had almost no complaints as well.
Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren said the plan is unique because it’s a walk-able retail space next to a neighborhood. “I think this is something we have wanted to see for a while … I hope we see more of this development,” she said. The Staenberg Group, the developer, isn’t exactly sure which business will go there yet, Gansline said. The firm wants to tailor the businesses
to area residents and the COVID-19 pandemic changed earlier predictions of who is moving into the area. Mayor Jan Kulmann said she lives in the neighborhood and often walks by the bare land that currently is there. She said, “It’s been one of those things the neighborhood has talked about for years … So it’s nice to see a very quality presentation, a very quality product.”
