Food pantry helps hundreds
Broadway Assistance Center in Littleton open to south-metro families
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Broadway Assistance Center spent 40 years serving the homeless in downtown Denver, but in September 2014, its leaders realized it might be able to do more good farther south. “In Denver, there is a great amount of need, but a lot more organizations like us,” said Dale Flanders, executive director. “So we settled on north Littleton. There are pockets of poverty in Littleton, and there always have been. Littleton hides its poverty well.” Flanders would know, having grown up in Littleton. He graduated from Littleton High School in 1979 and went
on to become a pastor. “It was my career for more than 20 years, but in temperament and passion, I’m a pastor at heart,” he said. He took the helm of the center last May, and the center has been busy under his watch. Since opening at the new location, 1449 W. Littleton Blvd., it has served more than 850 families from Littleton, Centennial, Englewood and Sheridan, averaging 120 to 150 a week. The food pantry is open on Wednesday evenings and Friday mornings, and families are allowed one visit a week to collect most things found at an ordinary grocery store, including fresh produce. Flanders notes it’s rare for a food pantry to be open in the evening, but he feels it’s important. “We don’t want people to be choosing between food and work,” he said. Pantry continues on Page 11

Overcoming workout woes Pitfalls of New Year’s fitness goals can be intimidating for some By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com For many, a new year means a new you. Some 44 percent of Americans make a New Year’s resolution, according to a 2013 study by Pew Research Center. Of that group, 12 percent say they want to exercise more and 11 percent want to lose weight. If you are trying to get back in shape in 2016, or just starting to work out for the first time, the road to better health can be fraught with potential pitfalls. From gym intimidation, to staying on track or finding the right routine, heading into the gym can be easier said then done. “I know some people get a little frustrated — the regulars who come year-round — that we get a big influx of people coming at the start of the new year,” said Kelsey Whisler, fitness supervisor at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. “I just hope those people will be welcoming and remember the first time they started coming to the gym and how intimidating it can be.” Whisler suggests group classes as a way of easing back into fitness. “If you have a friend who has been Workout continues on Page 4
Molly and Jennifer Maskrey don’t just believe their wearable technology can save lives — they know it will. With their startup, QBLabs, the Parker residents have developed MovementTek, a wearable device that alerts medical professionals and family members when a senior shows signs of instability when walking. The idea is for caregivers to intervene before a fall. But the device, which also is being tested to help patients with cerebral palsy, could expand beyond medical applications to provide real-time feedback to athletes and dancers to hone their techniques. The company is seeking $1 million in seed funding for full-on production, manufacturing and distribution. It has partnered with Innovation Pavilion, a Centennial-based business incubator that has already connected the Maskreys with some big players in the industry, such as Arrow Electronics, a Centennial-based Fortune 500 company that specializes in electronic components and computer products. “Mind-blown” is how Lindsey Finklang, Innovation Pavilion’s strategic expansion associate, described her reaction when first introduced to the concepts being created by QBLabs, which stands for Quantative Bioanalytics Labs. “They have intelligence beyond words,” Finklang said of the Maskreys. “They understand technology development, and they want to use that to make the world a better place.” Tech continues on Page 9

Words connected Parker with community Longtime journalist, who died Jan. 2, wrote about business, entertainment and more By Ann Macari Healey ahealey@coloradocommunitymedia.com Wendy Aiello first met Penny Parker when Parker was working at the Rocky Mountain News covering retail, tourism, restaurants and advertising. They became fast friends. “She was smart and funny,” said Aiello, a public relations executive in Denver. “She made me laugh every time I talked to her. She truly loved being a reporter and enjoyed being in the thick Parker of things in Denver.” When Parker died Jan. 2, she was still writing about entertainment, restaurant and philanthropic happenings in the Denver metro area in her popular weekly column “Mile High Life” for Colorado Community Media. “Penny helped connect our suburban readers to what was happening in the Denver metro area,” said Jerry Healey, Colorado Community Media publisher. “Her voice can never be replaced.”
NEWS IN A HURRY South Suburban nets praise South Suburban Park and Recreation District’s department of finance was recently awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the Unites States and Canada, for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This marks the 14th year the district has received the award. The district’s director of finance, Steven Shipley, and chief accountant Linda
Parker died in her Capitol Hill condominium at 12:30 p.m. Jan 2, exactly one month after her 62nd birthday. The cause of death has not been determined, her husband, Greg Henry, said. “Penny loved the battle for a scoop, whether she was writing a business story about the ski industry or finding out about John Elway’s engagement,” Henry said. “Penny loved the ‘On the Town’ column and working at the Rocky. Leaving the Rocky left a void in her life she was never able to get back. But she loved connecting with her readers on Facebook and in person.” Parker also is survived by her son, Mackenzie Parker Harden, 25, to whom she was devoted and who lives in New York. A family memorial and celebration of life will be held at an as-yet undetermined time, Henry said. A longtime journalist known for her tenaciousness, humor and competitiveness, Parker was a features and business reporter at The Denver Post until the rival Rocky Mountain News hired her in 2000 to write “On the Town,” a column about the “famous and near-famous” — as Henry put it — in the Denver sports, business and entertainment worlds. She covered major events such as the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the 2005 NBA All-Star Game, the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and
the 2001 NHL Stanley Cup finals. She also garnered respect for her relentlessly thorough and determined business coverage. “At the Rocky, Penny was our greatest nemesis, especially with her terrific ski coverage,” said Don Knox, former Denver Post and later, Rocky Mountain News, business editor, who competed against Parker at the height of Denver’s newspaper wars. “She was everywhere at a time when it seemed like every Colorado resort was up for sale or changing hands. What really stood out was her persistence — once she got her teeth into a ski story, she never let go, and that defined her among her generation of reporters.” Bob Burdick, retired editor of the Rocky Mountain News, remembers Parker as an energetic and knowledgeable member of metro Denver’s business and journalism scenes. “She seemed to know just about everyone and every place, and she could easily recite a list of potential venues — new or old — to try,” he said. “She will be missed.” Parker also gained a large following, when after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she shared her experience through her column. “She really struck a chord with readers because all of us had a personal con-
nection to someone who fought cancer,” Henry said. When the Rocky Mountain News closed in 2009, she moved back to the Denver Post as a business columnist until being laid off in 2012, Henry said. Parker continued writing her “On the Town” column for the society website blacktie-colorado.com until 2014. This past year, Henry said, she worked in retail sales for Macy’s and Dillard’s with occasional freelance work in public relations, marketing and writing. An avid Denver Broncos fan, Parker also loved her dogs, friends and playing golf and was passionate about cooking and dining out, her friend, Aiello, said. In lieu of flowers, Parker’s family asks that donations be sent to her favorite charities: Sense of Security, www. senseofsecurity.org, which provides financial help to breast cancer patients; Denver Dumb Friends League, www. ddfl.org; or The First Tee of Denver, www.thefirstteeofdenver.com. Once competitors but always friendly, Knox and Parker ended up working for The Denver Post together as columnists — he covering retail, she writing about general business. “Penny never gave up on life’s work as a teller of stories ...,” Knox said. “She reveled in it, even though the business changed on all of us.”

working out, go work out with them,” Whisler said. “They will show you the ropes and make you feel comfortable and help you get through that gym culture.” Sharise Plescia, a personal trainer at Lone Tree Recreation Center, said accountability and consistency are keys to seeing results. “One thing I tell people when I’m working with them is hold yourself accountable for your health regimen,” said Plescia. “So whether you use a calendar or a watch or iPad — or however you keep track of things — make sure you schedule in some fitness time every day. It doesn’t have to be vigorous. If you know you have a full day of work, kids, whatever it is, and you only have 10 minutes, guess what?
Ten minutes is better than nothing. You can make your workouts as vigorous as you would like in these 10 minutes.” It’s also important to start low and go slow with new routines, said Hillary Roemersberger, fitness and wellness supervisor at Parker Recreation Center. “Many beginners make the mistake of starting out too aggressively and end up tired, sore or injured,” Roemersberger said. “When people go out too hard they tend not to stick with their workouts over an extended period of time. Develop new habits that you can stick with.” Friends Francene Rose and Barbara Feuerstein work out regularly at Lone Tree Recreation center with a group of friends. That camaraderie helps keep them invested in keeping fit. “You have to have someone you are accountable to, not just a trainer, but a group of friends or family,” Rose said. “If I don’t show up, they come looking for me.”

Tips for sticking with HEALTH GOALS Category: Stress Tip: Meditate What they said: “One of the biggest saboteurs of a healthy lifestyle is stress,” said Sharise Plescia, a personal trainer at Lone Tree Recreation Center. “I teach Tai Chi. It’s for all ages and its one way of helping you avoid that stress zone where everything goes out the window. When you’re stressed that’s when the diet goes bad, or you’re too stressed to even work out. Adding in some kind of meditation, even daily meditation, whether you do it at home or come to a club, you really need that. You need a good healthy balance in your life. That is what is really going to help keep you on your fitness goals and maintain them.”
Category: Senior fitness
Category: Recovery
Tip: Stay active
Tip: Stretching and diet are key
What they said: “They can come in, take a class, play bridge, talk, just stay active. The more exercise they get, the better off they are going to be. That’s the key to longevity and quality of life,” said Peggy Golden, fitness coordinator for Lone Tree Recreation Center. “Always let your instructor know or come in and consult with someone and let them know you are new to a program, or you have an ailment of some sort, or have had surgery or anything along those lines. Listen to your body.”
What they said: “Stretching and recovery days are OK as needed. Your body needs time to rehydrate, realign newlyformed muscle fibers and clear debris occasionally,” said Steven Palmer, a personal trainer and strength and conditioning specialist at Parker Recreation Center. “Keep your water bottle with you and rest when needed. Drink a lot of water. Understand that 80 percent of the weight loss battle is fought at the table and 20 percent in the gym. You can work out really hard, but if you aren’t fueling your body right you won’t see the results you want.”
Category: Motivation Tip: Music can make a difference What they said: “Find a playlist that makes you feel like a superhero, then spend the time you work out thinking you’re that superhero,” Palmer said. “Have you ever seen Batman quit?”
Category: Routine Tip: Take it slow What they said: “I think people get so gung ho and say, ‘It’s Jan. 1, I have to start working out. I’m going to do six days a week,’ and that’s too much,” said Kelsey Whisler, fitness supervisor at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. “It’s too overwhelming. If you haven’t been working out, try one day per week. Be reasonable and be gentle with yourself. You’re going to eat some chocolate cake at some point and that’s OK.”

Suspect in school threat charged as adult Other 16-year-old student must complete psychiatric evaluation before charges can be filed
By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com One of two 16-year-old female students accused of making a violent threat against Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch has been charged as an adult with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder with extreme indifference and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after deliberation. The bond for Sienna Johnson, who appeared in Douglas County court Jan. 5 in a green jumpsuit with handcuffs around her wrists, has been set at $1 million. Flanked by her public defender, she alternately scanned the room and stared at the floor without expression. Colorado Community Media is identifying her because of the adult charges. The other suspect, who will be identified if charged as an adult, also appeared in court at an earlier hearing Jan. 5 and was ordered to complete a psychiatric evaluation before charges can be filed. Prosecutors said Johnson admitted to faking progress while being held at Children’s Hospital for a psychiatric review and told detectives she was determined to carry out the threat if released. They said Johnson was a threat to herself and the community, in part, because of a detailed map she created in her journal
District Attorney George Brauchler speaks at a court hearing on Jan. 5 for one of the 16-year-old female students accused of a threat against Mountain Vista High School. “This is not a case that we want to guess wrong on, either for the juvenile or for the community,” he said. Photo by Alex DeWind with the letters “NBK,” which prosecutors said stands for “Natural Born Killers,” a violent 1990s movie that some say inspired the Columbine High School shooters in 1999. The map allegedly outlined where the largest number of students would be at certain times of the school day.
Prosecutors also said Johnson purchased a BB gun to practice shooting and attempted to purchase weapons. The prosecution team includes Jason Siers, senior chief deputy for the 18th Judicial District, and Deborah Wrenholt, deputy district attorney. Johnson’s public defender, Ara Ohanian, said prosecutors have “grossly exaggerated” the case against Johnson. Judge Paul King, who oversaw the hearing, granted Ohanian’s request for a hearing to ask that Johnson’s case be transferred to juvenile court. That hearing is scheduled for March 30. The two teens were arrested Dec. 12 after a student reported the threat to the Douglas County Sherriff’s Office through Text-A-Tip, a service that allows high school students to convey concerns about safety, drugs and other issues anonymously. The threat was to harm students and staff at Mountain Vista during the week of Dec. 14, according to Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. Officials deemed the threat credible and took action immediately. Johnson had her first court hearing on Dec. 17, but prosecutors asked for a delay before the filing of charges. Prosecutors cited social media in their case against Johnson. Her Tumblr account, a social media blog, has since been taken down but was “extremely violent,” according to Wrenholt. She posted photos of classroom violence and references to school shootings, prosecutors said. Judge King scheduled a court date for Jan. 13 to determine if an affidavit with more information about Johnson’s journal
entries and other potential evidence will be released. Johnson’s attorney asked that it remain sealed. Denver-area media outlets have filed a request to unseal the documents. The other defendant appeared in court for the first time Jan. 5, wearing a green jumpsuit with shackles on her wrists and ankles. She sat quietly at the stand with her father beside her and her mother behind. She remains uncharged until crucial information is obtained, including a mental health evaluation and access to her cell phone, according to 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler. Her next court appearance is Jan. 14, when charges could be filed. The teen’s parents agreed to release her cell phone password only if a search warrant is presented, according to her attorney, Dagna Van Der Jagt, who declined to comment after the hearing. The teen’s attorney also filed a motion arguing the girl’s diary was unlawfully seized by authorities and requesting documents remain sealed. It is not known if she will be charged as an adult. “We just haven’t come to that conclusion yet,” Brauchler said. Brauchler said he plans to remain closely involved in the court process. “… There is enough out there that I think people can conclude this has the potential to be something that is of extreme significance to members of this community,” said Brauchler, who lives in Highlands Ranch. “This is important to get right. This is not a case that we want to guess wrong on, either for the juvenile or for the community.”
Breck and Budweiser form new business bond Breckenridge Brewery sells to Anheuser-Busch

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Breckenridge Brewery is being sold to Anheuser-Busch, but Breck’s founders want folks in Littleton to know that they’re not deserting the city so soon after celebrating its grand opening last summer. “Of course, the same great team who helped build Breckenridge Brewery won’t be going anywhere,” President Todd Usry said on the company’s website. “We’ll continue to own decisions about the beers we create and the ingredients in them. … I hope you will give us the chance to prove to you over time that we will continue to be Breckenridge Brewery.” When Breckenridge opened on the banks of the South Platte River last summer, it brought 60 to 75 jobs and a boost to the city’s sales-tax revenue. People were particularly excited the players were local, and that the site itself was in keeping with the rural feel of the riverside. “Our brewery was born and raised in Colorado,” said Usry at the time. “We have our Colorado mountain home, and soon, a Colorado country spread along the river. … How you portray yourself is a big thing
in this business. It was just perfect.” But now, the brewery and the Farm House restaurant on Santa Fe Drive will belong to Anheuser-Busch InBev, headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. The company’s American arm, Anheuser-Busch, operates 17 local breweries, 21 distributorships and 23 agricultural and packaging facilities across the United States. Its flagship brewery, best known for the Budweiser brand, is in St. Louis. Breckenridge will be the seventh craft brewery to join The High End, AnheuserBusch’s business unit of craft and import
brands like Stella Artois and Shock Top. But Usry insists the company will maintain its own identity. “What people relate to in this industry is authenticity,” he said. “If there were plans to come in and change our employees, our culture and our recipes, well, that would completely undermine the reason for the partnership at all. What this new partnership does offer us is access to resources that will help us continue to innovate and bring our beer to more people.” With its brand already available in 35

states, Breckenridge Brewery, founded in 1990, was on track to sell about 70,000 barrels of beer in 2015. It ranks as the 50th largest craft brewery in the nation, according to the Brewers Association, a notfor-profit trade association. “Breckenridge Brewery has a long history of innovation, and they continue to brew new and exciting beers, from their specialty brews like the Mountain Series that celebrates the brewery’s origin as a ski-town brewpub, to their planned nitro can series,” said Andy Goeler, CEO of The High End. “They are innovative and have built an amazing business that’s enabled them to get their great beers to fans across the country.” The deal includes the Littleton facility and the original brewpub in Breckenridge, but not the other establishments owned by Breckenridge-Wynkoop: Ale House at Amato’s in Denver, Breckenridge Ale House in Grand Junction, Breckenridge Colorado Craft in Denver, The Cherry Cricket in Denver, Mainline in Fort Collins, Phantom Canyon Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs and Wynkoop Brewing Co. in Denver. The deal, announced Dec. 22, is expected to close in the first quarter of this year, “subject to customary closing conditions,” according to a news release. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Local groups back SCFD reauthorization Funding changes proposed in reauthorization to 2030
grassroots, community-based effort to get this reauthorization passed.”
By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 100 organizations and governments in the metro area — from the Adams County commissioners, Jefferson County Cultural Council, Lakewood City Council and South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce — have come out in support of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funding reauthorization. “This support is very important to us, because we have a lot of work ahead of us,” said Dan Hopkins, SCFD board chairman. “It’s going to take a good
Details of the reauthorization The proposed reauthorization would continue the current 1 cent on $10 sales tax through 2030 to provide funding for scientific and cultural facilities in seven counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur) and Jefferson. “Our council voted unanimously to support this extension,” Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul said. “We here in the city really benefit, but it’s also a one-ofa-kind thing for everyone in the region.” To ensure the question is on the ballot this November, it must be introduced and passed in the coming legislative session.
“People may wonder why we’re getting started on this so early, and that’s because it takes a lot of local support and education to get this passed,” Hopkins said. “We’ve actually been working on this for the past four years to get to the point we are now.” Structural changes proposed, too In addition to the reauthorization, changes to the funding structure are being proposed. SCFD funding is broken up into three tiers: the largest organizations, such as the Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature & Science, are Tier I; medium organizations like the Arvada Center and Butterfly Pavilion are Tier II; and the smallest organizations, such as The Edge Theater in Lakewood and the Northglenn Youth

Theatre, are Tier III. The proposed structure change includes $15.3 million more for Tier III organizations supported by the district, and an increase of $22 million for Tier II organizations. Funding for Tier I organizations would decrease by $37.3 million to accommodate this shift. A new organization called FACE (Friends of Art and Culture Equity) is lobbying for Tier III organizations to receive 50 percent of total funding, followed by 30 percent for Tier II groups and 20 percent for the Tier I institutions. “Educating the public will be the biggest challenge for us, especially on what looks to be a crowded ballot,” Hopkins said. “Once people realize what is covered and who benefits from the SCFD, they understand how crucial it is.”

VOICES

Only you can hold yourself back How many times in our lives have we uttered the word “If?” “If only I would have…” “I could have made it if only I didn’t …” “If the sun wasn’t in my eyes.” “I would have been on time if I didn’t run into traffic.” If, if, if, if, if. There is an old saying that goes like this, “If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas.” You see “if” has always been the scapegoat or excuse as to why we don’t accomplish what we had set out to achieve. “If” the gym wasn’t closed I would have gotten my workout in. “If” the church parking lot wasn’t so full I would have attended service. “If” my friends would just stop talking about me, I would stop talking about them. Such a small little word right? I mean really, two letters, “if,” but such a powerful and big little word. Even in its smallness, in its precarious position between success and failure, the word “If” has become the easiest way out for many of us when it comes to rationalizing and justifying why we are not who we want to be or where we want to be in life. Accepting “if” is like giving ourselves permission to accept the defeats, mishaps, and barriers to success that will challenge us along the way from time to time.
What we need to understand is that regardless of our age, our position, our social status, our race and our sex, there is only one person on the planet that can stop us from reaching success and becoming all that we were meant to be and achieving everything Michael Norton that we want to be, do, WINNING and have. And that one person who holds that WORDS ultimate power is the same person who greets us each morning as we look in the mirror. That’s right, the only person stopping you is…you. This happens because we get caught up in and buy into the “ifs” and the “If only” excuse making talk track or script that we rehearse over and over again until the myth becomes fact. So here’s one potential solution for anyone who has become trapped in the “if” cycle of life, replace the word “if” with the word “when.” “When the gym is closed I will run laps
around the building and do push-ups and sit-ups.” “When the parking lot is full at church, I will park around the corner and walk, even though I may enter during the first hymn.” “When my friends seem like they are talking about me, I will listen to what they have to say, change what I need to change, and offer love and forgiveness. Never speaking poorly about them in return.” The world will certainly serve up its challenges and attempt to thwart our plans at times. And when that happens we can either buy into the problem and hide behind the excuse of “if” or we can say, “When the world gives me lemons, I will make lemonade.” I know it’s an old cliché, but it just felt like the right thing to share. How about you? Do you live in the world of “Ifs and buts?” or do you take a more responsive and proactive approach toward life and live for new opportunities, claiming future successes with a “Can do” attitude? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And as we replace the word “of” with the word “when” it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corp., strategic consultant, and business and personal coach.

Darkness welcome, but just a light amount When I mentioned to a friend that I like it when it gets dark here at 5, she said, “Then why don’t you move to Barrow? They don’t see the sun for 67 days in a row come winter.” I am not so sure I would care for that, except as a narrative concept. Darkness at 5 is fine. The population of Barrow, Alaska, is less than 5,000, or roughly the number of shoppers in my King Soopers on a Saturday. There’s a high school and they field athletic teams. The Barrow High Whalers. Recently they reached the semifinal game of the Alaska Small School Football Championship. And then it was lights out. As much as I like the early darkness these days, that would be too much. I wonder what the depression rate is? Light bulb sales are the highest in the United States. On the flip side, Barrow has 80 days of uninterrupted sunlight. I just checked. It’s 4:30 p.m. in Barrow, and minus 20. And dark as pitch.
It makes me wonder why someone would live there. I think it would be a good encampment for a fugitive. It’s about as undesirable as it gets, presumably for bounty hunters too. Craig Marshall Smith It is its own kind of punishment. QUIET The area is best DESPERATION known for a tragedy. Pilot Wiley Post and humorist Will Rogers both died in a plane crash near Point Barrow in August, 1935. Post was 37. Rogers was 56. Post was the first pilot to fly solo around the world. Rogers wrote, “When I die, my epitaph, or whatever you call those signs on gravestones,
is going to read: `I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I dident (sic) like.’ I am so proud of that, I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved.” Post and Rogers preceded Carole Lombard in airplane deaths. And of course Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. Maybe you already know this: Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on the plane to The Big Bopper, because J.P. Richardson was ill. Add: Glenn Miller, Ricky Nelson, Otis Redding, Jim Croce, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Denver, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Patsy Cline. Back to Barrow: It seems to me that 67 days without a glimpse of sunshine would have a negative effect on personality, behavior and things like productivity, creativity and even morale. Maybe not. It must be wonderful to see the gradual return of daylight. I am sure the residents all have the dates, Smith continues on Page 9

‘Prevention through intervention’ for seniors The married couple created QB labs in 2014 and has focused on MovementTek motion sensors for three separate purposes, with an initial focus on fall prevention for those with balance issues. “We’re striving to make an impact to improve the quality of life for seniors,” said Jennifer Maskrey, chief executive officer. The device is designed around sensors with a six-axis orientation and a movementdetection module. A Bluetooth module transmits data from the sensor to an integrated system that uses algorithms to quantify the data and a color-coded system to identify whether a senior is in a safe zone or danger zone. The plan is to get MovementTek into independent-living and assisted-living facilities and prevent some of the 2.5 million falls each year that Centers for Disease Control reports among seniors 65 and older. Doing that could reduce medical expenses along with the anguish associated with injuries and deaths that can result from a fall, Jennifer Maskrey said. MovementTek allows for passive prediction through data trends based on a prolonged period of monitoring. Chief technology officer Molly Maskrey, who has degrees in computer science and advanced mathematics, calls it “prevention through intervention” and, because the technology can be worn in clothing, she likens it to noninvasive glucose meters worn by diabetics. It uses a “balance cone” as a baseline that’s measured when a senior has eaten

well and taken all of his or her medications. Changes in balance, no matter how small, are detected. “If they’re approaching the point where they might be unbalanced,” Molly Maskrey said, “it transmits a signal to caregivers in a nursing home or sends a text message to the son or daughter to check on them.” Jodie McCann, senior outreach coordinator for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said falls are the top reason seniors go from living independently to assisted living. Prevention of falls would be a major step forward, she said. “Oftentimes, it leads to more serious things, kind of a snowball effect,” McCann said. “So many things can happen after that. It might be pneumonia or other setbacks that don’t let them to return to their way of life.” Changing existing healthcare and health insurance models is a challenging, uphill battle, Molly Maskrey said. However, there is a significant push in healthcare to encourage proactive measures instead of reactive. The Maskreys plan to eventually develop the technology to detect various environment conditions. For example, the system could notify family members if a senior leaves on the stove or hasn’t taken daily medication. Help for patients with cerebral palsy QBLabs also is working with the Center for Gait and Movement Analysis at Children’s Hospital Colorado to develop a gaitanalysis application based on the hospital’s groundbreaking motion sensor lab. The lab is particularly important for those with cerebral palsy. With MovementTek, the Maskreys believe they can track a patient’s leg movement and help surgeons pinpoint the exact places to disconnect muscle to fix
“Darkness darkness, be my pillow. Take my head and let me sleep. In the coolness of your shadow. In the silence of your deep.” At this time of the day, at this time of the year, the neighborhood is silent. I am sure the mall is hopping, and downtown Denver is crawling. But in this little territory, all I hear are the sounds that I make.

Nicklas, business operations manager at the Center for Gait and Movement Analysis, said his team has had preliminary discussions with QBLabs for a year and is providing validation that its motion sensors are accurate. The gait center and QBLabs are applying for grants to conduct testing. Although no official agreements exist with Children’s to use the technology, Nicklas said the center is happy to provide guidance to startups trying to make improvements in the field. “We really like having conversations with them because they’re doing some really cutting-edge stuff,” he said. “We see the type of work they’re doing as the future of movement analysis.” The mobile technology will not replace gait-analysis labs, but rather would supple-
ment existing resources and enable medical professionals to observe how patients walk while performing daily activities, Nicklas said. Resources are scarce for adults with cerebral palsy, and only a small percentage of patients receive the care they need, Jennifer Maskrey said. Motion analysis labs could potentially help mobile technology be more accessible and less expensive. “They know they can’t treat everybody they want to treat,” Jennifer Maskrey said, “so they want a mobile system.” Vic Ahmed, co-founder and chairman of Innovation Pavilion, sees tremendous potential in the technology. He predicts MovementTek will have “an enormous impact on the independence and mobility of millions of patients with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury or critical balance challenges.”
I might feel differently if I had a 4-yearold and a 5-year-old. Then the darkness and the closeness might not be so poetic and profound. But I don’t. It’s really perfect. And I always want to hold on to it.
I haven’t always felt this way. But introversion will do that to you. These are my days. These are my nights. And I am thankful for them. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Back to the roots with natural childbirth Many women in the south metro area choose to use midwives
WHAT IS A CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIFE? Certified nurse midwives are registered nurses who have obtained a master’s degree in nursing and specialize in women’s health. They have passed a national certification exam and must renew their certification every eight years.
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Claire Reifert became pregnant with her first child, she knew she would follow in her mother’s footsteps with natural childbirth. And in April 2014, she gave birth to her son with the help of a midwife at a birthing center in Englewood. “One of my favorite things about seeing the midwives,” said Reifert, an engineer who lives in Centennial, “is they are scientific-based and they contribute to research themselves.” But she also chose to use a midwife for the comfort factor. “Being able to have the possibility to move how you want to move, and not put yourself in weird positions to fit what the medical staff wants, is important,” she said. Reifert is part of a growing trend among women nationwide who want to have natural, unmedicated childbirth. According to data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, certified nurse midwives delivered 8 percent of all babies born in the United States in 2014. That’s up from 7.8 percent in 2013 and 7.6 percent in 2012 and 2011. A midwife is a traditional care provider for mothers and infants with expertise and skills in supporting women to maintain healthy pregnancies. In Colorado, certified nurse midwives — who can deliver babies — are licensed by the Colorado Board of Nursing. Midwives can be used in a hospital, a free-standing birth center, a doctor’s office or at home. With midwife practices becoming more common, local hospitals also are responding to that desire by partnering with certified nurse midwives and providing tools to enhance delivery, including labor balls, birth swings and birthing tubs. In the south metro area, Sky Ridge Medical Center, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, Swedish Medical Center and
South Denver Midwives, all of whom are certified and work with Littleton and Castle Rock Adventist hospitals, for instance, provide a wide range of healthcare for women from a teenager’s first period, through pregnancy/birth/post-partum, and extending into menopause.

Littleton Adventist Hospital staff certified nurse midwives. “We are committed to really doing what it takes to make sure those midwife patients have a good experience,” said Jacque Northrup, birth concierge at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, adding that about 30 percent of women who give birth at Castle Rock Adventist have an unmedicated and natural experience. In 2013, 308,221 babies nationwide were born with the assistance of a midwife in a hospital, the CDC reported. But although the trend seems new, certified nurse midwife Aubre Tompkins, of Mountain Midwifery in Englewood, says midwifery and community birthing, as she calls it, is actually the standard — the original way. Giving birth in hospitals, she says, only became mainstream in the 1930s and ’40s. “What’s happening now is things are coming back to the traditional route,” Tompkins said. “Many families are rediscovering community birthing, and I think it’s wonderful.”
Tompkins’ birthing center, which opened in 2006, has been home to more than 2,000 births and has seen a steady rise in patients over the past year. “One of the reasons is because thinking about choice is becoming more prevalent in the broader culture,” Tompkins said. “It’s very normal for families to not do a lot of investigating and just go to the doctor their friend or mom went to. Now, there is a lot more messaging about the value of thinking about your birth and what your immediate start as parents looks like.” As a midwife, she serves a dual purpose, Tomkins said. The first is to offer psychological and physical support. The other is to clinically make sure mother and baby are safe and healthy. One tool midwives use to make mothers comfortable is the birthing pool. “The water is amazing,” Tompkins said, noting that 50 percent of mothers at her facility give birth in the pool. “Hydrotherapy provides physical relief. The
big thing is that it helps people relax in between contractions. During labor, you need to relax and let it happen.” For Reifert, the experience with her son went so well she plans to give birth to her second child in June with the help of a midwife. Not all mothers who choose midwifery initially know that’s the route they want to take. “I don’t think I really thought much of natural delivery before reading about it,” said Jennifer Eckert, of Aurora, who delivered her first child naturally in 2012. “As I did more research, I got more concerned about having to go to a hospital and loved the idea of letting things happen in their own time and natural course.” When it comes down to it, the person who is the real expert is the one who is pregnant, Tomkins said: She knows her body and what feels right. “I really want to involve them in their care,” she said of mothers-to-be. “That’s one of the hallmarks of midwifery care.”

Albums that made a difference in 2015
1. “To Pimp A Butterfly” - Kendrick Lamar Lamar captured 2015 in 80 sprawling minutes — at times violent, transformative, harrowing and beautiful. Lamar went beyond hip-hop, exploding the genre’s sonic palette through the incorporation of funk, acid jazz and come-to-Jesus gospel into his music. The sheer scope of Lamar’s lyrical insights is astounding. From the new civil rights anthem “Alright,” to the vitriol (both outward and inward) of “The Blacker the Berry,” he covered all the bases and made it look easy. He also created President Obama’s favorite song of the year by breathing fire into a tired cliché on “How Much A Dollar Cost.” Music didn’t get any more vibrant or vital. 2. “I Love You, Honeybear” - Father John Misty The funniest, bitterest and wisest album about the trials of love in a long time, Josh Tillman (the real name of Father John Misty) created a masterpiece for romantics — secret, hopeless and everyone in between. Although Tillman created a persona to give him a little distance on the album, “Honeybear” still ends up being a startlingly intimate story about falling in love with his now wife. He channels the wit and hidden romance of Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson and Tom Waits while sounding unlike any other artist. To know what modern romance sounds like, check out this album: Tillman delivered a dissertation on the subject. 3. “E•MO•TION” - Carly Ray Jepsen After creating one of the century’s biggest pop hits with “Call Me Maybe,” Jepsen disappeared for three years, and people began to write her off as a one hit wonder.

LINER NOTES
But one listen to “E•MO•TION” demonstrates why she was so quiet: she was busy crafting a pop masterpiece, the kind of knockyou-out, kick-down-the-door, hit machine that completely blasts away any who try to resist its charms. This is what musical joy sounds like. Music snobs, consider yourself on notice — this thing goes from start to finish, and if you have a problem with pop perfection, get over it. Jepsen can’t be stopped.
4. “Surf” - Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment The best soul and jazz album wrapped into one shining whole, “Surf” is home to perhaps the happiest and most hopeful music of the year. The Social Experiment is a group of Chicago musicians formed and led by Chance the Rapper, who broke into the rap scene on his 2013 mixtape “Acid Rap.” Here, Chance demonstrates how visionary he is — he’s not bound just by rap and is looking to bring other genres into his orbit. “Surf” is relentlessly positive. From the affirmations of “Wanna Be Cool” to the encouragement of “Slip Slide,” it’s an album to make you feel good. Press play and let it. 5. “Beauty Behind the Madness” - The Weeknd Dark, mysterious, sexy. That about describes the music Abel Tesfaye creates as The Weeknd, and he’s built a pop album that filters this worldview through Michael Jackson’s knack for writing hooks. Tesfaye isn’t searching for love. Any affection in his world is physical, flammable and fleeting. The deepest he feels is the desire that the women he meets find someone they can love — because it sure won’t be him. It’s escapism and sounds fantastic coming out of any speaker. Tesfaye produced the soundtrack for the Tinder world, where love is just a swipe away. For a night. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week.

Music has always reflected the times, so it’s fitting the best releases of the year are searching, personal works that defy compartmentalization in any particular genre. Following are the albums that had the biggest impact on me over the past 12 months. They provided comfort, posed questions and served as solid ground in a tumultuous year of widespread violence and social change. A year that reminded us at every stop to never take for granted the most important things in life. We can only hope the music of 2016 lives up to this year. Here’s my best of the best:

Cherry Creek storms past Palmer Young Bruins remain unbeaten on the ice By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Palmer scored first and last in the Jan. 2 hockey game against Cherry Creek. However, it was the young Bruins team that dominated between the two Palmer goals as the defending state champions rolled to a 9-2 nonconference victory on Jan. 2 at the Family Sports Center in Centennial. Cherry Creek, 4-0-0 in the Foothills Conference, improved their overall record to 6-0-0. “We’ve got a young team this year and we played our young goalie (sophomore Kyle Englert),” said Creek coach Jeff Mielnick. “He got it going pretty quick after that. The kids really work hard sharing the puck in practice. A lot of players that were on the team didn’t have predominant roles last year but now they are our main focus players. I’m excited to see how they take it to the next level.” Key moments Cherry Creek scored nine consecutive goals after Palmer scored in the first minute of the game but eased the pressure in the third period and didn’t score. There were 12 different players that either tallied goals or assists for the Bruins in the game. Key players/statistics Daniel Taggart, a junior defenseman from Grandview, and Smoky Hill junior Joe Whitemore each scored two goals for the Bruins. Rhys Phelps and Austen Kuskowski were credited with two assists each for the co-op team. Phelps is a senior from Grandview and Kuskowski is a freshman who attends Rangeview. Taggart, a golfer and baseball player at Grandview, opted not to play for the Bruins’ hockey team last year and instead was a member of the Highlands Hills Minor Double A club team. This season he is one of Creek’s two captains and the team’s top scorer with eight goals and nine assists for 17 points. “I really wanted to play for Creek this year,” said Taggart. “Our points and energy comes from everywhere. We don’t have a weak line on the team. We’re really strong with this group of guys. We all mesh really well and so it helps on the ice with the
Rhys Phelps of the Cherry Creek hockey team unloads a shot during the Bruins’ 9-2 win over Palmer on Jan. 2. Photos by Jim Benton chemistry.” They said it There eight sophomores and one freshman on the roster but some of the 12 juniors have taken more of a leadership role. “Most of the team is juniors,” said captain Samuel Harris, a junior at Cherry Creek. “It’s a matter us trying to get used to being the older kids and how to lead the team and get them ready for games.” Mielnick praised the team’s co-captain Taggart and Harris. “Taggart is a three-sport athlete,” he said. “What I really like about him is he sees the ice like a catcher would call the game and like a golfer would look at how to play a hole. He’s very analytical but he can do it all while he is playing. Sam Harris is kind of on the same page. Both read the ice really well.” Going forward Creek plays Battle Mountain Jan. 8 at Family Sports Center and takes on Dakota Ridge Jan. 9 at The Edge Ice Arena.
Joseph Whitmore of the Cherry Creek hockey team scored twice.
Local players shine in numbers game It’s true that many times the most valuable player on a basketball team doesn’t have gaudy statistics, but it’s still meaningful to highlight a few of the state individual leaders from games played before the holiday break. Kolton Peterson of Lakewood is the fifth-leading boys scorer in Class 5A with a 21.8 scoring average, according to a list compiled by maxpreps.com, a website dedicated to high school sports. Ralston Valley’s Antonio Capley is second in rebounding with an average of 11.5 a game and ranks just ahead of Mountain Vista’s Jake Belknapp and Dallas Walton of Arvada West, who have pulled down 11.3 rebounds a game. Mountain Vista’s Isaac Essien is the state’s 5A assist leader with an average of 7.4 a game. Arapahoe’s Joseph Kleeman is second in steals with 3.1 a game. Valor Christian’s Jeremy Randle leads all Class 4A 3-point shooters as he has connected on 53 percent of his attempts, while Ponderosa’s Derek Hansen is second with a 51 percent shooting accuracy from long range. In 5A girls scoring statistics, Pomona Ashley Madden is scoring 26.5 points
a game to rank second in the state. Ralston Valley Ashley Van Sickle is the state leader with 7.3 assists per game and is second in steals with a 4.7 average. Jaz’myne Sipes of ThunderRidge is Jim Benton Colorado’s second leading 5A reboundOVERTIME er with 11 per game while Lutheran senior Kristen Vigil is tops in 3A steals with 5.3 per game and is second with 5.7 assists. Faith Christian’s Makena Long is the 3A statistical leader by making 50 percent of her 3-point attempts. Eye on the national team Sebastian Anderson, an eighth-grader at Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch, has his sights set on being one of the 24 players who will be selected this spring to be on the Under-15 Boys national soccer team.
Anderson, who plays for Real Colorado, was one of 48 players invited to the national camp last September and he was among the 36 players to take part in the final team camp Dec. 13-20 in Sunrise, Florida. In the December camp there were 32 players, including Anderson, from the U.S. Soccer Development Academy at the U14 level and four nondevelopment players. “It was a great feeling when I first got the email to come back for the second camp,” said Anderson. “It was great to know all the work has paid off and I had another chance to prove myself in front of all the coaches. “The second time was a lot calmer because I knew a lot of the kids that came back from the first camp. I was more familiar with everyone. I just played like I usually play and let my play show for itself.”
Class 5A team rankings, with Legacy third, Ponderosa fifth and Chaparral 11th. Yount, Colorado’s wrestling guru, has a full-time job but has been compiling weekly individual and team rankings for the past 22 years after examining results. Four Pomona individual wrestlers are No. 1 heading into the new year. Justin Pacheco (113 pounds), Tomas Guiterrez (120), Theorius Robison (126) and 145-pounder Jason Romero top the rankings. Mosha Schwartz of Ponderosa is the top-ranked 106-pounder, Legacy’s Ryan Deakin is first at 138 pounds and Cherry Creek’s Matt Finesilver is No. 1 at 152 pounds. Other wrestlers who are ranked No. 1 included Jared Todd of Heritage (160), Chaparral’s Dawson Cranmer (170), Legacy’s Matt Hebel (182), Mountain Vista’s Trent Schultz (195 pounds) and Cohlton Schultz of Ponderosa (220).
Wrestling rankings Week three of the “On the Mat” rankings have been released, and Pomona looks like the team to beat in Class 5A. The Panthers are No. 1 in Tim Yount’s

Experiencing the Old West
January 8, 2016
IF YOU GO Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering branding event:
27th Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering set for Jan. 21-24
10 a.m. to noon Jan. 21 at Clear Creek History Park, 1020 11th St. in Golden
By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
7:30 p.m. Jan. 21 at Miner’s Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden
In the form they take today, cowboy gatherings have only been around for about 30 years. But they stem from the ways of the Old West, and people can experience the tradition at the 27th annual Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering, which comes to Golden Jan. 21-24. “It’s a folk art that started with the cattle drives, and it carried on,” said performer and event coordinator Liz Masterson. This year, people can enjoy four days of old — and contemporary — cowboy tradition through poets and western singers. The gathering takes people back to a time before iPods and watching movies on a mobile device, Masterson said. “Everybody is rushed these days,” she said. “This gives them a chance to step back in time and relax a bit.” People familiar with cowboy gatherings generally enjoy the nostalgia, Masterson said, but the gathering is “also a chance for city folks to be in a different culture.” Cowboy poetry is a little more animated than what people usually think of as urban poetry, Masterson said. One of the 15 performers this year is Susie Knight of Conifer, who has been “on the stage and in the saddle” for more than 50 years. Knight performs poetry and songs with her guitar. “We’re a genre that relates to all ages,” Knight said. “It gets people caught up in a feeling or a memory.”

Andy Nelson is one of the main stage performers who will be at the 27th annual Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering, which comes to Golden Jan. 21-24. The gathering always includes some “top-notch” performers, Nelson said.

People relate because everyone has a grandmother, or is a grandmother, Knight said. “You write about what you know,” said Andy Nelson, a cowboy poet from Wyoming who includes a lot of humor in his works. And “there’s nothing a cowboy likes more than hearing about a horse wreck.” But a person does not have to be involved in the cowboy culture to enjoy the gathering, he said. “Don’t let the topic scare you away,” said Nelson, who has performed at the gathering at least a dozen times. “Those who have never experienced it before become hooked. This is a good
opportunity to get your feet wet and delve into the genre.” Pop Wagner has seen generations grow up through the nearly two decades he has been performing at cowboy gatherings. Along with performing, Wagner will also be having a cinchmaking class at this year’s gathering. The “old-time cowboys” would make their own cinches, he said. The class provides people the opportunity to work with their hands and make something original for their horse that will last a long time. Golden always turns out an appreciative and interested audience, Wagner said. “Cowboys have been a part of Colorado since the early days — it makes sense to have it here,” he said. People will “get a taste of the Old West and the New West.”
