Measures create a design standard, but businesses are still restricted BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT: Workouts go mobile with technology P14

An ordinance enacted last fall that opened the door to certain types of development on the Arapahoe Road corridor was repealed at the Centennial City Council meeting on Feb. 21. At the same meeting in which councilmembers repealed the measure that was the target of a citizen petition effort, council approved three new ordinances regarding development on the corridor. The repealed ordinance, which had been passed last November, removed location restrictions on certain businesses: new vehicle sales and rental establishments, drive-thru restaurants, convenience stores, vehicle washes and heavy retail locations. It also would have created a design standard for the corridor, defined amendments and created minor changes to such items as light dimming at night. The ordinance was passed in response to a 2005 ordinance that restricted land use. Two Centennial residents created a petition and collected enough signatures to create a valid referendum petition, verified Jan. 4. They expressed concern regarding increased traffic flow on Arapahoe Road and opposed any new car dealerships being built in the area. Centennial councilmembers had to choose either to send the ordinance to a citizen vote, which could have cost the city more than $100,000, or repeal the ordinance altogether. SEE COUNCIL, P4

New R Line spans from Lone Tree to Aurora More than 10 miles of new tracks added on the eastern side of metro area BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Light rail now connects Lone Tree and Centennial with the heart of Aurora. Feb. 24 marked the grand opening of the Regional Transportation District’s R Line, a 22-mile light rail service that runs from Lincoln Station in Lone Tree to Peoria Station in Aurora. The total cost of the project was $687 million. Among the 16 stations, destinations include the existing stops at County Line, Dry Creek and Arapahoe at Village Center stations, but adds new stops that include the Colfax station in Aurora. According to RTD, a trip from one end point to the other takes about an hour. “The completion of the R line extension provides more choices in the way that the residents of Lone Tree and the surrounding areas are able to get to the places they need to go,” said Ken Mihalik, RTD director for District G, which includes Lone Tree. “The R

Line connects major employment centers like the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (in Aurora) with the Denver Tech Center for the first time by rail.” For rail riders from the south metro area, Nine Mile Station near Parker Road and Hampden Avenue had the been the farthest into Aurora they could get on a direct route. Now, starting with a new station at Iliff Avenue, the 10 1/2 miles of new light rail tracks connect the existing tracks at Nine Mile and goes north on I-225 to the Peoria Station on the University of Colorado A Line and the H Line. “The line is significant in that it completes another important connection and mobility opportunity on the eastern side of the metro area, connecting commuters to important destinations throughout the line,” RTD General Manager and CEO Dave Genova said in a news release. The line includes eight new stations and four new Park-n-Rides. In 2019, it will be extended south by 2.3 miles to RidgeGate Parkway in Lone Tree when the new Southeast Rail Extension opens. Local, one-way fare on the R Line is $2.60. Transferring to another line could cost a regional fare of $4.50 and a fare to the airport costs $9.

After working with the petitioners — Centennial residents Jill Meakins and Tammy Hunter-Maurer — the city decided to repeal the ordinance. The city instead put together several ordinances that it believed would appease the petitioners and begin to better the Arapahoe corridor. The new ordinances do not overturn the ban on certain types of new businesses, including vehicle sale and rental locations, drive-thru restaurants, convenience stores, car washes and heavy retail locations. But there is an exception that could pave the way for some of these types of businesses: They would be allowed to open as part of a masterplanned development. “Nothing with the uses will have changed because of the ordinances,” said Derek Holcomb, Centennial’s deputy community development director. “The only difference is that any new buildings that come to the new corridor now will look a lot nicer as a result of the new design standards.” Holcomb said that Arapahoe Road, being a high-traffic highway, needs convenient uses that are not allowed by the restriction. With the new ordinances in place, he said that not much will change along the corridor. “In the beginning of why all this came up, the city contracted with a third-party study of Arapahoe Road to find out why there were so many undeveloped sites that were not developing,” Holcomb said. “We removed the restrictions but we also wanted the buildings to look great. What ended up happening is that the uses are not allowed in the corridor, but we still have these high-quality design standards ... There is a benefit that the corridor will begin to look nice, but those parcels that are vacant will remain vacant for a long time.” Here’s a look at the three new ordinances: Ordinance 2017-O-07 This ordinance allows for new development and redevelopment of existing sites of otherwise restricted

businesses on the corridor so long as the new or redeveloped business is part of a unified master-planned development. Unified, master-planned developments, as the ordinance defines, have at least four other unrestricted uses and 50,000 square feet of gross floor area. A Culver’s restaurant with a drivethru is redeveloping an existing property on the corridor. Though drive-thru restaurants are restricted on the corridor, the Culver’s would be part of a development plan with Advance Auto Parts, Hoongs Palace, Outback Steakhouse and Hawthorne Suites. Ordinance 2017-O-06 This ordinance defines Arapahoe corridor’s restricted businesses. It gives specific definitions to vehicle sales and rentals, drive-thru and drive-in restaurants, and convenience and gas stations. Ordinance 2017-O-04 This ordinance sets a design standard for the central Arapahoe Road corridor from Parker Road to Yosemite Street. The ordinance states that all buildings in the central Arapahoe corridor must incorporate three substantially different building materials that appear “authentic in their application.” A minimum of 50 percent of the buildings must contain fired clay brick, natural stone, natural wood and/or transparent glass. A maximum amount of 10 percent of buildings can include materials such as fiber cement board, reflective glass and/or textured architectural concrete. Vinyl siding, plastic material and un-textured, tilt-up or poured-in concrete are all prohibited. “These are going to be, in my opinion, some of the nicest design standards in the entire state,” Holcomb said. Any new buildings, or buildings being renovated on the corridor, will need to adhere to those design standards. The city is in the process of creating a comprehensive master plan that could enact similar design standards on new buildings and building remodeling throughout the city.

A unique twist on bridal shows gives back to community Centennial Un-Bridal Show raises money for single-parent, military and first-responder families BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chrystal Huskey had a vision for an unconventional bridal show. Rather than a traditional show, where guests pay money to scout an assortment of wedding vendors, she brainstormed a celebration where guests enjoyed food and drinks while mingling with industry experts and wedding-gown models. She called it the Colorado Un-Bridal Show. “A bridal show that provides a unique and engaging experience that gives back is what folks can expect from this campaign next and every year to come,” said Huskey, founder and event planner of Logistical Meetings & Events. The Un-Bridal Show, held on Feb. 22 at the Falls Event Center in Littleton, was the final event of A Veil & Dress Blues, a giving campaign that supports the James Resource Network, a nonprofit organization that provides services for single-parent families in the Denver metro area, and Brides Across America, an organization that partners with bridal salons to provide wedding gowns for military and first-responder brides. The campaign raised more than $50,000 and reached more than 400,000 people on social media, according to Huskey. Sandra Coen, president and founder of the James Resource Network, said she is pleased the campaign is bringing awareness to her mission. The James Resource Network is based in Centennial and offers resources and attainable housing for single-parent families. “I’ve been really excited to see how much the bridal community cares about single-parent families as well as military and first-responder families,” Coen said. Coen’s organization has helped many individuals, including Ashley

Katie Miller wears a bridal gown from Compleat Couture, a charitable bridal salon at 7562 South University Blvd., Centennial. The theme of her stand is steampunk, a style design that mixes historical industrial with modern technology. PHOTOS BY ALEX DEWIND Miller, who attended the Un-Bridal Show. Miller, a single mother of two children, was living in a run-down apartment in Littleton, she said. She shared a room with her son and her infant daughter slept in the living room. She applied for housing through the James Resource Network and within months, she was moved into a home in Centennial. “The James Resource Network provides these resources to empower you,” said Miller, who hopes to buy her own home in a year. “That extra help helps me give my kids the life they deserve.” More than 25 vendors donated their services for the Un-Bridal Show, creating an inviting atmosphere with food and drink, music and vibrant decor. One of the vendors was Maxine Cutts Alcott, owner of Alboom Inc., in Highlands Ranch. The florist provided a variety of lush bouquets for the wedding gown models. Alcott said that her go-to charity

is the James Resource Network. The organization holds a special place in her heart as she was raised by a single mother. “To see the support for the single moms in the community and have them be embraced is phenomenal,” Alcott said. “It’s wonderful to have this experience.” Another vendor was Crystal Goodman, manager of the Dessert Stand in Westminster. Goodman stood behind a table covered with bite-sized treats, including salted caramel cupcakes and brownies. The company is known for its dessert bars versus a tiered wedding cake. “It’s a fun, different bridal shower,” Goodman said, “more relaxed, mingling of guests.” Dana Sweetin, a photographer from Highlands Ranch, lent her services to the event because she comes from a military family. Her husband and two sons are in law enforcement. “When I knew it was supporting that, I was all in,” said Sweetin.

Maxine Cutts Alcott, owner of Abloom Inc., a floral shop in Highlands Ranch at 9325 Dorchester St., stands next to Compleat Couture model Brittany Johnson, who is holding a bouquet designed and donated by Alcott. At the Un-Bridal Show, several models stood on platforms in the ballroom of the event center. They wore flowing white gowns from Compleat Couture, a bridal salon in Centennial. The salon features thousands of dresses at discounted prices. And proceeds benefit the James Resource Network and Brides Across America. Raffles and prizes were handed out throughout the night, including weekend getaways and spa treatments. But the most noteworthy prize was a wedding package valued at more than $15,000. Mindy and Willie Walker, a couple from Colorado Springs, were the recipients. Willie Walker is a sergeant first class in the Army. The married couple didn’t have a wedding. Mindy Walker, the youngest of five daughters, said she is looking forward to having her father walk her down the aisle. “Our daughter asks us all the time where our wedding photos are,” Mindy Walker said. “I’m excited to celebrate with our family.”

Real-life Forrest Gump runs into Peabody Elementary British man, inspired by Forrest Gump’s fictional route, is running 20,000 miles across the U.S. BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2012, Jim Plunkett-Cole was at home in England with his dog, Alfredo, when he got an idea. “I was sitting on the sofa with Alf, as we do, watching the Olympics,” he said to a group of fifth-graders at Peabody Elementary School in Centennial on Feb. 24. “And I was feeling inspired.” Plunkett-Cole, 48, channeled that inspiration into a challenge for himself: Every day of 2013, he would run at least 10 kilometers, or approximately 6.21 miles. Alfredo, a border collie, tagged along. “We didn’t miss a single day,” Plunkett-Cole said. He did the same thing in 2014. In 2015, he decided to challenge himself further, adding a 750-meter swim and a 20-kilometer bike ride to his daily routine. “Every day, whilst working full-time, I did a triathlon,” said Plunkett-Cole, who is in Colorado as

Jim Plunkett-Cole speaks to kids at Peabody Elementary School on Feb. 24. PlunkettCole has been running at least 10 kilometers a day since Jan. 1, 2013. He came to the United States from his native England to run a 20,000-mile route inspired by the movie “Forrest Gump.” KYLE HARDING part of his new adventure, running a three-year criss-cross 20,000-mile route through the United States, inspired by the 1994 film “Forrest Gump.” Since October 2016, he has aver-

aged 22 miles per day. Owing to Asperger’s Syndrome, a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum, Plunkett-Cole said he is not particularly social, and he finds peace with the solitude of running.

He also started a campaign to encourage adults to be more active, the Active Every Day Kx365 Challenge Initiative. John Brackney, former president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce and a former Arapahoe County commissioner, joined the challenge. “The internet is an amazing thing,” said Brackney, referring to how he learned about Plunkett-Cole. Plunkett-Cole also decided to take his challenge across the pond. Along the way, he is visiting elementary schools across the country to inspire them to be physically active every day. He came to Peabody thanks to Brackney, an alum of the school. Earlier that snowy morning, he ran four miles, with plans for another 13 later. “I love the idea of the perserverance,” Peabody Principal Linda Jones said. “I think that applies a lot to school.” He told the kids about the adversity he’s overcome to continue at his goal. In 2013, shortly after he started running daily, his mother died of cancer. Last spring, Alfredo had to be put down at 9 years old because of an auto-immune disorder. “I’ve come through injuries and illnesses,” he told the students. “And the cool thing is, my body is no different than yours.”

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Denver - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain? Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake. Sounds crazy? Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life. When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again. Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state? Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in

theory exercising should help knee arthritis. But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs. Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes. Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out. You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either. What’s the answer? In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary. With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated. The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis. But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint. This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many ex-

help.

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

perts believe it helps lubricate the joint. Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain. And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain specific exercises can be a tremendous

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain. This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results. So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse. And that’s the last thing you want to do. What are the two “smart moves?” If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic. If you are thinking about giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technol-

ogy such as uoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections. Research shows that without uoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work. If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced uoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 303-952-4469.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain sufferers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go. If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now. Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief. Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program. The Secret To Success? The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy. Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating. This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment. And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed. What Is This Treatment? This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this... When you have knee arthritis the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in

your knee joint dries up. This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief

program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors. How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and

Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging

South Suburban basketball programs are a miniature slam dunk Program allows kids ages 3 to 14 to play competitively BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A basketball player runs down the court, occasionally dribbling. Players behind him run as fast as they can, some tripping over untied shoelaces — but none are fast enough to catch him. The 4-year-old player makes the layup. Teaching the younger generation how to play basketball has been a focus for South Suburban Parks and Recreation this season with the introduction of two new leagues, said Keeley Sorensen, South Suburban’s program coordinator. The High Line Competitive League is for second-, third- and fourth-graders and the Little Hoopers League for kids ages 3 to 5. The program’s expansion now allows for kids aged three to 14 to play. The Little Hoopers play on a modified court with 6-foot hoops and a 22inch basketball. The scrimmages are separated into four-minute quarters. Their season is four weeks long. The High Line League plays for eight weeks. The teams chose names such as

the Ultra Werewolves, The Rocket Turtles, The Sparkle Cheetahs and The Emojis. With the exception of Little Hoopers, the leagues are separated by age and gender. There were eight Little Hoopers’ teams, 72 boys’ teams and 45 girls’ teams. Of the 1,209 kids in the basketball program, 70 percent lived in the district’s cities of Lone Tree, Centennial and Littleton. The other 30 percent were primarily from nearby areas, such as Highlands Ranch and southern Denver. The leagues had a force of 250 volunteer coaches. Keith Love said he could not have coached his son’s team except for the Thursday-night play time. His son, Clyde, is a multi-sport athlete. Weekend practices and games would have been impossible with Clyde’s other sports. “I have 8- and 10-year-old boys and they play all the sports,” Love said. “The clubs say they like multi-sport athletes, but that is impossible when everything seems to happen on Saturday.” Love coached Team Denver, a group of seven fourth-grade boys that won the championship this season. “We want to do it again next year,” Love said. “It all went really well. It was organized in a nice gym and with good referees.”

Getting unstuck is about having the pluck to get out of the muck WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

e all know what to do when certain things are stuck in life, right? I mean if we are struggling with a rusted nut and bolt that needs loosening, we simply apply a little oil or WD-40. If we cannot twist the lid off of a jar, perhaps we run it under warm water or give it a good “pop” with the palm of our hand to get it open. When the ketchup bottle is new we know just where to tap the side of the bottle in order for the ketchup to start flowing. But what happens when we are the one who is stuck? Maybe we are stuck in a rut, stuck in a job, stuck in a relationship, stuck

in the mud, stuck in a belief system or judgment, or just stuck somewhere about something. If only WD-40 worked on any and all things stuck it would be awesome, kind of like pushing the “Easy Button” of life. The bad news is there is no “Easy Button.” The good news is that there is a solution, and we are the largest part of that solution. There are three things to think about if we feel like we are stuck. The first thing is to think about how we initially got into the situation or feeling of being stuck. The second is to try and understand why we are remaining stuck in the situation or with the feeling. And then lastly, what will it take for

us to get un-stuck. We can almost think of it like this, where we were, where we are, and where is it we want to go. We just need to give ourselves a good “pop” to loosen the lid on our own jar of life. So the first one is how did we get here. Did we develop a habit early on and the habit has just become increasingly worse? Or did we allow ourselves to slip into a comfort zone and just continued to get more comfortable with an uncomfortable or difficult situation? We have to ask ourselves these hard questions so that we can identify what SEE NORTON, P11

ith the term “hacking” trending across news feeds all over the world, it can be helpful to hit reset, take a breath from the headlines and start at the beginning. So … what exactly is hacking and what does it mean to me? Technically, hacking can be defined as using a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system. But now, what does that really mean to you? One simple analogy would be, think of hacking and hackers as the new pickpocket. OK fine, but why does hacking matter to me? Basically, if you are a victim of hacking your data can be used against

In short, hackers can pretend they are you and take advantage of you and your accounts for their benefit. What can you do to protect yourself ? First and foremost, use strong passwords.

it is that caused us to be stuck in the first place. We may not like the answers, but with awareness comes the potential for action. Secondly, remaining stuck in any situation or condition could be a choice, as many times we have allowed the situation to control us as we invite complacency into our lives. So now the questions become even harder. Why am I still allowing myself to be stuck in this situation or feeling like this? If I could be doing something else, be anywhere else, feel something different, why am I not taking any action to fix things? Am I happy being or feeling stuck? These questions require courage and honesty. The good news is that the answers could help move us from potential for action to actual action. The third element of becoming unstuck is the plan and taking action. Sometimes we have been doing the same things for so long we just keep doing them that way because that’s the way we have always done it. Let’s face it, change can be hard, and can be even harder for some people who are resistant to change or slow to change. But without the change, the cycle of stickiness continues and contributes to where we have

You can write something that outshines your actual personality, and get the attention you are looking for. By reading this column, you might have the impression that I am a worldly, imposing, and distinguished man. The truth is I haven’t been anywhere, and I resemble Burl Ives wearing unzipped pants. My painting career, I’ve decided, is winding down. Something will have to take its place. You know? Idle hands? I thought about opening a butterfly pavilion, until someone told me there already is one in Westminster. I never learned carpentry, plumbing, or cooking. But I can write.

been stuck in the past. So if we want to change something, get unstuck without becoming unglued, we have to be able to take the actions and steps necessary to tap on the side of our own ketchup bottle and get some movement going to get us out of the rut and into the next groove of our lives. Now here’s the secret: We already know what to do, don’t we? Knowing what to do is the easy part. Acting upon it is a whole lot more difficult. It is indeed a tricky, and yes, even a sticky situation. So let’s simplify this; look at what got us here; become aware of where we are and why we are still here; and then take action and do what we know is necessary to take us to where we want to be. So how about you? Are you in need of a little or a lot of WD-40 in your own life or are you successfully moving through life’s sticky situations with ease? If you need help with the plan and taking action I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com.

almighty “qwerty” (look down at your keyboard and you will see). However, “Password!” becomes a password that will take a week to crack, “Pa33word!” would take closer to four weeks, “!Pa&&word!” would take close to one year while “Ihave2kids” would take just about 5 million years to be hacked. So if nothing else, update your passwords and consider using sentences. The next thing you can do to protect yourself is simply to be careful about what you click on and open when you are online. In general, don’t click on unknown emails from unknown folks and don’t click on unknown links or unfamiliar pop-ups. As a general rule, consider clicking on a link like opening the door to your online home, if you wouldn’t answer your doorbell, don’t click. Further, it is important to protect your private information online.

Sharing the following information online can put you at risk: your Social Security number, your bank accounts, phone numbers, birthdays and your address. As a rule of thumb, if it’s not something that you would be comfortable sharing with a stranger, do not share it online. And while this might be common sense, be smart about what you share on social media. You would be surprised by the amount of breadcrumbs people leave for hackers or opportunists when posting comments or pictures of them and their family during their trips abroad. With all this being said, it is good to be proactive about protecting yourself online. However, most hackers are not looking to target individuals, so while it seems very scary and sinister, simply do your best to protect yourself. And remember, “password” or “qwerty” might not be your best defense.

Construction of regional crime lab set to begin this summer Douglas, Arapahoe and Aurora pledge millions under 20-year contract BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For years, those working in the criminal justice system within Douglas County, Arapahoe County and Aurora have faced long wait times for forensic and DNA evidence processing at the state lab. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation, however, has faced a backlog of its own. But help is on the way. Construction will begin on a 25,500-square-foot regional crime lab this summer. The facility should be completed by mid2018, officials said. The lab will primarily serve the three local jurisdictions and the City of Centennial, which contracts with the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office for law enforcement services. Other municipalities within Douglas and Arapahoe counties may be able to submit evidence for a fee. “It really feels good,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurock said of the project. In December, Douglas County commissioners approved spending more than $15 million to build the facility.

A rendering of the regional crime lab that is set to begin construction this summer. All partners have signed a contract pledging their participation in the project. A board of directors will be named from among local officials. On Feb. 15, Douglas County officially purchased land on Meridian property near C-470 and Peoria Street to become the lab’s future home. The cost-share plan will draw approximately $23.7 million from Douglas County over a 20-year period. Nearly $16 million will come from Arapahoe County and almost $31 million will be spent by Aurora. The funds will cover operating and maintenance costs for the lab. An equitable cost-share plan wasn’t suitable, Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth said. She said the officials who drafted plans for the lab didn’t just consider what each partner could offer financially, but also what they would leave with if the

partnership dissolves after the 20-year contract. Douglas County will largely fund the project through its justice center fund, a sales-and-use tax twice approved by voters for capital needs supporting the the center. Douglas County will pay to build the lab but also retain the building if the partnership ever disbands. “For Aurora and Arapahoe, their investment is ongoing funds for staff and IT communications, so if they left, they would leave with their people and original equipment only,” Nicholson-Kluth said via email. Although there’s no guarantee partners will stay beyond the planned 20year period, there’s also no guarantee more jurisdictions won’t ask to join. In fact, 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler suspects that will be the case.

COURTESY PHOTO

“This, I think, is the trend you’re going to see,” he said of joint crime labs. Brauchler — whose district includes Douglas and Arapahoe counties and Aurora, the largest city in Arapahoe — said the lab enables local authorities to prioritize evidence, rather than wait in line at the state lab. And it’s money well spent, he said, stating the lab will increase efficiency, not only in evidence processing, but also in the court system. His office will be contributing legal support for the lab, such as drawing contracts should more jurisdictions seek to join, and also a forensic handwriting examiner. Overall, Brauchler said, the lab places control back into the hands of local jurisdictions. “It gives us,” he said, “the advantage in the criminal justice system that this jurisdiction deserves.”

Catch a sweat with workout apps Five apps to help you get fit on your terms BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

n today’s nonstop world, prioritizing a workout can be challenging. Whether because of work, children, a spouse or friends, a sweat session often falls

second to other responsibilities. But physical exercise is just as important. According to Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit medical practice and medical research group, regular exercise helps control weight, combats health conditions and diseases, improves mood, boosts energy and promotes better sleep. Mayo Clinic recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise.

If you’re looking for a convenience factor, the answer is most likely in your pocket. Your smart phone has access to hundreds of workouts, allowing you to control where and how long you work out. Many let you personalize the type of workout — strength, cardio, stretching — and the intensity. Here are five smartphone apps, recommended by fitness experts, that provide a variety of exercises and are user-friendly. Another benefit: They are all free.

Calm, available on IOS and Android, is a free wellness app that guides users through meditations and breathing exercises.

Sworkit offers 20 pre-built workouts, including strength, stretching, cardio, pilates and yoga. The free app provides video instruction and audio cues and lets the user pick the duration of the workout.

The Down Dog app guides users through a yoga practice with video and sound. The free app, available for IOS and Android, lets a user customize his or her skill level and preferred duration.

MyFitnessPal is a free calorie counter, diet and exercise journal available for IOS and Android. The app lets users customize a profile to include gender, age, weight and weight-loss goals.

Nike + Training Club

The Nike+ Training Club app acts as a personal trainer, equipped with more than 130 free workouts ranging from 15 to 45 minutes. The app lets users choose components of their workout, including the intensity and the use of bodyweight, light equipment or full equipment. The app also offers fitness plans, including Start Up, a four-week program to get in shape; Lean Fit, a six-week program to build endurance; and Gym Strong, an eight-week, fullbody program. Workouts are designed by professional athletes, trainers and celebrities, including tennis professional Serena Williams, soccer superstar Alex Morgan and singer Ellie Goulding. For a look at some of the workouts, Williams and comedian Kevin Hart co-created a 15-minute workout called, “The Hart Serena” that focuses on back and arms. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles designed a 30-minute workout called “The Balance Program” that centers on total body strength. For more information, visit www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/nikeplus/training-app.

The highly-rated app provides guided meditation and breathing exercises for those who need to de-stress. The app’s backdrop is rippling lake water with grassy hills and snowcapped mountains. Money Magazine, a financial magazine published by Time Inc., named Calm one of its Best Free Health and Fitness Apps of 2016, noting the benefits of taking a 40-second break to focus on nature. Calm offers simple meditations and soothing sounds, including a crackling fireplace, thunderstorm, evening crickets and more. The app also has a variety of bedtime stories. Calm’s website says the goal of the app is to bring “clarity and peace of mind into your life.” For more information, visit calm.com.

Men’s Fitness, a magazine with exercise, health and nutrition advice, coined this app its Best Comprehensive Trainers app of 2016. “Sworkit—a portmanteau of `Simply WORK IT’— takes a holistic approach to strength workouts without any equipment, and includes a custom workout builder designed for veteran athletes and fitness professionals to create and share custom routines (appropriately nicknamed `playlists’) from the app’s library of 170 exercises,” mensfitness.com says. The fitness app lets a user choose what type of workout he or she desires, such as strength, stretching, cardio, Pilates or yoga. The user may also choose the duration of the workout, making it easy to squeeze in a sweat session around a busy schedule. The app offers video demonstrations by trainers along with verbal cues. For more information, visit sworkit.com.

The yoga app is rated five stars in Apple’s App store with reviews including “thoughtfully designed,” “beginner yogi friendly” and “great at-home practice.” Down Dog provides a studio-like experience with an instructional video and music playlist for each sequence. The app is easy to navigate and lets users customize settings, including the level and duration of the sequence. Each time a user practices, the app generates a new yoga sequence. Down Dog guides users through vinyasa flow yoga, a range of poses that combine strength, balance and flexibility, according to Down Dog’s website. “Vinyasa yoga also places a strong emphasis on the transitions between the poses, creating a flowing practice that’s synced with the practitioner’s breath,” the website says. For more information, visit downdogapp.com.

The health and wellness app lets a user customize a profile with information including gender, age, weight and weight-loss goals. The app has everything one needs for a healthy lifestyle, including a food and water log, calorie counter and progress tracker. On the app, users can locate nearby fitness classes in a specific area and scroll through fitness articles on the homepage. Dru Connolly, fitness specialist of the Highlands Ranch Community Association, said that nutrition and exercise go hand-in-hand, which is why MyFitnessPal is one of her favorite apps. “Exercise alone can work, and meal planning/dieting alone can work… However, designing your meal plan and exercise program to work together is best,” said Connolly, who was a competitive figure skater for 20 years and studied exercise physiology and human performance in college. “My Fitness Pal has so many foods loaded into it to make it easy for anyone to be diligent with meal planning. That, in addition to its fitness components, are what make it my favorite so far.” For more information, visit myfitnesspal.com.

The Nike+ Training app lets users choose from more than 100 workouts created by trrainers and professional athletes. The free app is available for IOS and Android.

Nonprofit program brings music to life for Colorado students

earning music doesn’t just give children the ability to create something beautiful — it also helps them with attention, attendance and comprehension of difficult subjects. And this is why Steve Blatt, Colorado Public Radio’s LINER former community programs director, NOTES started the Bringing Music to Life nonprofit to put instruments in the hands of students all over the state. “Seeing the difference it makes in kids’ lives is so great,” Blatt said. Clarke Reader “I love seeing the changes it makes in their lives, especially when they realize what can happen when they get involved in music.” To provide instruments to Colorado schools, Bringing Music to Life is hosting its annual instrument drive March 13-25. People are invited to drop off gently-used band or orchestra instruments at any of 16 donation locations across the state. Last year, the organization provided 520 instruments worth more than $200,000 to 40 Colorado schools. Since the drive began seven years ago, more than 3,000 instruments worth more than $1 million have been donated to the state’s elementary, middle and high schools, with a focus on small and rural schools. “You’d be amazed at how hard it can be for some of these places to provide music programs to their students,”

Blatt said. “Some people think music is just playing notes, but it’s so much more. Kids who do well in music do better in other classes, too.” Donated instruments will be repaired and awarded to music school programs before the start of the 2017-18 school year. Students are responsible for the instruments they use during their time in their school’s band programs, which helps teach accountability. One of the schools that has received instruments in the past is Northglenn Middle School, where about 80 percent of students qualify for free and reduced lunch. “The generous donations have gone to students who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn an instrument,” wrote Katrina Proctor and Corey Stopperan, orchestra directors at the school, in a letter to Bringing Music to Life. “These students are some of the hardest-working young people I’ve ever worked with. The exposure to the high-level music that they’re getting in their middle school years will go with them for the remainder of their lives. It’s been especially exciting to hear students talk about wanting to teach music or perform music professionally after high school.” Title I schools are encouraged to apply for instruments through March 31 via an online application form. People without an instrument can also contribute to the repair fund, to help repair and refurbish the instruments — the largest expense of the program, Blatt added. Even with the Colorado Institute of Musical Instrument Technology doing repair work at a 50 percent discount, it still costs

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Thundercat’s “Drunk,” released on Brainfeeder records. Review: Simultaneously extraordinarily listenable and experimental, Thundercat (Stephen Bruner) ably displays why he is one of the best and most influential modern bassists on his third album. Big names like Kendrick Lamar and Pharrell make appearances here, but aside from Bruner’s virtuoso performance, his eccentric about $120 per instrument to get it up to snuff. All the effort is well worth it, when music can change a child’s life, like that of Christopher, an eighth-grader at Northglenn Middle School who wrote words of thanks to Blatt. “When I play my cello with other people, I feel great, like I can do anything.”

influences and passions are the stars — see the winking “Tokyo.” What really floors is just how lovely the album is, and how much it’ll stick with you.

Author is moving toward completion of book series Sue Duff novels began with creator’s skiing accident BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sue Duff is her pen name and she is known as Sue Loeffler in Highlands Ranch, where she lives. She is a speech-language therapist during

the school year and has been writing since high school, but a few years ago, a skiing accident required that she lay low through a summer, instead of being her usual active self. So what can a writer do to keep boredom at bay? This particular writer invented a whole new fantasy world, peopled by the Weir. By the end of that first summer, she had completed her first “urban fantasy” novel, “Fade to Black,” SEE DUFF, P16

‘Bonnie and Clyde’ musical brings excitement to stage in Littleton Town Hall Arts Center offers view of notorious outlaws from 1930s

IF YOU GO “BONNIE AND CLYDE” runs through March 19 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: townhallartscenter.org, 303794-2787, ext. 5.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“You’ve read the story of Jesse James of how he lived and died. If you’re still in need of something to read, here’s the story of Bonnie and Clyde.” This is the opening verse of a long poem written by Bonnie Parker, which has been copied and inserted into the theater programs for this month’s lively Town Hall Arts Center production, “Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical,” which runs through March 19. A series of worn-looking wooden platforms are backed by a flat, weathered wooden wall backdrop — it might be a barn or an old farmhouse, and it serves really well as a screen for projection that play a part. The musical first played in La Jolla, California in 2009 and made its way to Broadway in December 2011 for a short run. Director Nick Sugar gives the Town Hall audience a colorful look at the pair of 1930’s legendary young robbers — and killers — who might compare to some less than admirable

Chas Lederer and Alison Mueller play Clyde’s brother Buck and his religious wife Blanche, who traveled with the poetry-writing Bonnie and Clyde, according to historic accounts, although in this telling, the pious Blanche stays home running a beauty shop. Bonnie and Clyde were delighted to see their names in print! “I’m gonna be like Al Capone,” Clyde Barrow boasted, while Bonnie Parker was beyond thrilled to read a magazine

which fans quickly discovered. The series has grown to four titles — “Stack the Deck” was just published. One more will complete the saga. A segment on her website called “A Secret World” explains about the Weir, who “have lived among humans for more than 2,000 years. (Many Weir believe it’s longer.) Their purpose has been to care for the planet. To guarantee that what exists below the surface is in harmony with all that roams across it…” But, of course, not everything always runs smoothly as the years move along… Delighted fans awaited her for a book talk and signing on Feb. 15 at the Tattered Cover Aspen Grove — her fourth book party there. After drawings for some giveaways, including disappearing ink, she read a few selected passages from “Stack the Deck,” carefully chosen so as not to contain any spoilers as to the fate of favorite characters … One young man was especially worried over whether Ian Black survives. “He was still around on page 74,” she said with a smile, but she declined to say for sure

reference to her “ravishing red hair.” Projections of newspaper reports on their crime spree and some historic photographs play a part on the wooden wall as the pair runs amuck — and regularly heads home to see their parents. Neither is pictured with any regrets for the lives they ended. The focus was on fast cars, big guns and money. (They gave some of their stolen money away to poor folks and became heroes to some as they ranged across the country robbing small stores, gas stations and an occasional bank.) But the stage version gives us a pleasing combination of rockabilly, gospel and blues music by Frank Wildhorn, with a live stage band, lyrics by Don Black and book by Ivan Menchell that paint a more appealing picture of a short period in the 1930s before they were surrounded and shot on May 23, 1934 in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. One of many cleverly integrated projections is a newspaper headline detailing their demise. Bonnie’s poem ends: “Some day they’ll go down together they’ll bury them side by side. To few it’ll be grief, to the law a relief, but it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.”

… “It’s a dystopian atmosphere …” How does she feel about having just one more to go in the series, someone asked. “I’ve been with these characters for four or five years-I like to hang out with them — I like to hang out with people I have total control over!” She’ll move on to planning the last in the series — and deciding who survives and who doesn’t, she said with a happy grin. She thinks she has a fifth title — “Dim the Lights.” And she has an idea for a new series about a 15-year-old girl, who becomes anyone she touches … That could go in any number of directions… Among her giveaways was a copy of “Tick Toc,” a Wicked Ink Books anthology of short stories by a group of seven speculative fiction authors, including Duff. (Several of her fellow writers from that book were at the signing party to cheer her on.) She has another signing party scheduled at 5 p.m. on March 11 at the Book Bar in the Berkley neighborhood, 4280 Tennyson St., where one can enjoy a sip of wine while browsing. And in April, the next Wicked Ink anthology, “Off Beat,” with her story, “A Mistake,” will come out. She happily anticipates next summer, with its time for writing that fifth Weir Chronicle.

For three years running, the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce festival has sought to sign a nationally-known headliner for the Parker Days kickoff concert. And for the third year in a row, they’ve succeeded, lining up Bret Michaels to get things started for the 2017 event. “You want somebody who’s going to be a showstopper, and that’s something he definitely brings,” said Sara Crowe, director of special projects for the chamber. “Obviously, we know he’s been around for a while, but he’s just a really good performer.” Bret Michaels, best known as the lead singer of ’80s glam rock quartet Poison, will get the party started this year on June 8, the first night of the Parker Days festival. Michaels’ biggest hits with the group were the ballad “Every Rose has its Thorn,” “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Nothin’ but a Good Time.” Reality TV fans will also recognize him as the star of VH1’s “Rock of Love.” Crowe said advanced ticket sales are already exceeding last year’s, when southern rock band 38 Special performed to start Parker’s big weekend. Attendance and advance sales last year topped 2015’s numbers,

Rock musician and reality television star Bret Michaels was recently announced as the main attraction for the Parker Days kickoff concert on June 8. Parker Area Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Sara Crowe says ticket sales for the event are already exceeding last year’s COURTESY PHOTO numbers. when Rick Springfield was the first big-name act to headline the kickoff concert. The June 8 concert begins at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at parkerdaysfestival.com and are $35 for general admission and $100 for VIP seating, which includes two drinks and access to the front of the stage. Convenience charges will be applied to all tickets, and concert tickets do not include admission to Parker Days carnival rides.

Cranes create spectacular sights around Monte Vista

hile March 10-12 are the official dates for the annual Monte Vista Crane Festival, these amazing birds actually hang out at the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge and on neighboring farmland through the month — by the SONYA’S thousands. It’s specSAMPLER tacular to see and hear them in flight in early evening and to watch them feed and dance in early morning and late afternoons. Farmers leave food in the fields for them and parking areas are available in many locations. Sonya Ellingboe See mvcranefest.org for more information. Bus tours and lectures look to be pretty much booked on the festival weekend, but viewing is free and the cranes, which have a six-foot wing span, stay around to feed heavily before heading north to breeding grounds. (We try to go a week later — and stay in the Movie Manor Motel in Monte Vista, which is a trip in itself.) The wildlife refuge and other sites are nearby.) Design and Build Museum Outdoor Arts is accepting applications for its excellent summer Design and Build Summer Art Internships through April 14. With a stipend, college undergraduates and graduating high school senior artists spend the summer working in the MOA studio, under experienced leaders, on collaborative and individual projects, ending with an exhibit of their work. See moaonline.org/ design-and-build.

Doctor warns of ‘the silent disease’ Exercise, supplements, early detection are keys to fighting osteoporosis

Dr. Kathy Vidlock displays models of weak, left, and healthy, right, bone density. Vidlock’s mother broke a hip due to osteoporosis but has since recovered from her injury and improved her bone density somewhat with exercise and calcium and vitamin D supplements.

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Patty Thewes is glad she was in an automobile accident in January 2016. “It was kind of a godsend,” she says. Thewes, 64, broke her sacrum, the center bone of the pelvis, in the crash. A resulting MRI revealed she had osteoporosis, something she thought she wouldn’t have to worry about for years to come. “I was pretty active, and usually if you’re active and you’re taking your calcium, you think you’re OK,” the Castle Rock resident says. “I figured I was good to go until my late 70s.” Like Thewes, Gary Harrison of Elizabeth knew he had low bone density after he saw a doctor for hip problems in 2012. But he didn’t realize he had osteoporosis until 2014 when he reached for a shoe and broke his rib. “To be honest, I was surprised,” Harrison, 62, says. “I never thought men had (osteoporosis) until I found out I had it.” Their reactions are common with many patients Dr. Kathy Vidlock sees. Osteoporosis is a weakening of bone tissue often resulting in life-threatening fractures. Among people over the age of 50, it affects one of every three women and one in five men, Vidlock says. But many are still stunned to discover they have it. “A lot of people are really surprised,” Vidlock, of Parker, says. “There’s a misconception that it should cause pain, but it doesn’t unless you have a fracture.” Sitting in her office at Sky Ridge Medical Center, Vidlock says the most important factor in preventing or treating “the silent disease” is detection, which is particularly difficult with osteoporosis because it has no symptoms. Any woman who has gone through menopause and any patient over 50 being treated for a bone fracture should have a bone-density scan, Vidlock says. The DEXA scan — short for dual

BY THE NUMBERS • Worldwide, one-third of women over age 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures, as will one-fifth of men over 50. People with a prior fracture have an 86 percent increased risk of a subsequent fracture. • Osteoporosis accounts for more days spent in hospital than diabetes, myocardial infarction or breast cancer for women over 45. • As many as 80 percent of high-risk individuals are neither identiﬁed nor treated. • Osteoporosis and low bone mass are currently estimated to be a major public health threat for almost 44 million U.S. women and men 50 and older. • It is estimated that 61 million men and women will have osteoporosis by 2020. Source: International Osteoporosis Foundation

WHAT YOU CAN DO Risk factors: • Prior, non-traumatic fracture(s) • Family history of osteoporosis • Smoking • An average of more than three alcoholic drinks per day • Height loss • Early menopause

energy X-ray absorptiometry — can be performed by a patient’s physician to measure the bone density in the spine, hip and wrist and doesn’t require preauthorization from insurance providers. “The problem is that most patients don’t have a bone-density scan when they have a fracture, or some know that it’s low and don’t get treated,” she says. “Then by the time I see them, it’s worse.” Bone density begins to decrease when a person reaches their 20s. While that may make osteoporosis seem inevitable, Vidlock says there are steps to take to slow or prevent the disease. One is medication. Harrison and Thewes both take injections of Forteo, a drug proven to promote bone density. But the drug, the only one on the market that creates bone mass, is expensive at $1,100 per month, and can

produce a host of side effects. Even without medication, Vidlock says there are steps adults can take to slow or prevent the disease. For starters, Vidlock recommends all adults make sure they are getting enough calcium and vitamin D. Most patients are aware of calcium’s role in maintaining healthy bones, but many don’t know they need vitamin D to help the body absorb calcium. Another important step to take, literally, is weight-bearing exercise. “Your bone tissue is really active,” she says, “it’s just like a muscle.” A daily walk or hike, or lifting weights stresses bone tissue, which responds by growing in much the same way a muscle does after a workout. Cardiovascular exercise like biking or swimming may be great for the heart, Vidlock says, but it doesn’t stress bone tissue enough to promote growth.

Prevention: It is recommended that all women over the age of 65 get regular, biannual bone density tests. Dr. Kathy Vidlock said some patients, male and female, who were treated for a fracture after the age of 50 should be tested at least every two years as well. Other steps adults can take to minimize their risk for osteoporosis: • Ensure a nutritious diet and adequate calcium intake • Maintain an adequate supply of vitamin D. • Participate in regular weight-bearing activity, such as walking or lifting weights. • Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke. • Avoid heavy drinking. Source: International Osteoporosis Foundation But again, Vidlock stresses that the most important factor in treating osteoporosis is finding out if you’re at risk of having it. “The takeaway is: `do you really know if you’re at risk?’ ” she says. “It’s worth a visit to your physician to find out.”

Variety is hallmark of art exhibit at college ‘Media Mixed’ exhibit will run until March 8

Totems by Mary Williams of Castle Pines are included with other sculptural wood artworks by Williams, as well as art in various other media by Janice McDonald, Victoria Eubanks, Carol Ann Waugh and Ken Elliott in the exhibit “Media Mixed” at Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College through March 8.

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Media Mixed” is a collective exhibit at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton by the five members of “To Expand Artists,” a metro area group of five non-conventional artists working in five different mediums. The show is installed with each individual’s work grouped together — aside from a clever introductory selection of five samesized (24” square) pieces to the left of the entry, one by each artist — that demonstrates the choices of media and technique. The visitor walks next to a collection of collages by Janice McDonald — from her new “Unboxed” series — an interesting approach. She starts with a collapsed, flattened carton from toothpaste, crackers, etc. Scraps of paper and painted images add layers of interest.

“MEDIA MIXED” is exhibited through March 8 at Colorado Gallery of the Arts, in the Annex at the Littleton Arapahoe Community College campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Gallery hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. The group of artists discussed “Professional Development” in a panel geared towards ACC students on March. 1. The collection of smallish works interacts as one looks at the expanse. The color and pattern choices seem interrelated and make a pleasing pattern on the wall. Next, one finds the colorful wood sculptural creations of Castle Pines artist and organizer Mary Williams, who has a selection of her knobby “Totems” of varying heights, interspersed with several flat, polished works sculpted from wood, including “Drip Drop,” a 3’x3’ wall piece. Victoria Eubanks of Denver works in the ancient encaustic medium — melted wax, with color added, which when

used in layers, gives a depth and polish to her abstract pieces — as though one were looking into a pool, or through thick tinted glass. Fiber artist Carol Ann Waugh exhibits a series called “Decades,” a series of quilt-like pieces on black backgrounds. On each, a year (1960 is the starter) is embroidered in the top left corner, followed by a running series of events and names of people: Watts Riots, League for Spiritual Discovery … (1970) Pentagon Papers, Apple computer, test tube baby … (1980) Mount St. Helens, Columbia, Beirut Barracks Bombing. Makes you think and bring up connections. Where were you?

Accomplished landscape artist Ken Elliott, who has his studio and home in Castle Rock, exhibits a selection of large oil on canvas paintings, including “View in the Foothills — High Contrast,” an elegant work. His website shows a versatile artist and author of a coffee table book of his landscapes. He also does printmaking, collages and monotypes and teaches workshops. “While we have varying styles and content, our work speaks to each other and merges into a cohesive body of work,” says a group statement. It’s pleasing to sit in the middle of the gallery and just let this handsome exhibit speak to you.

Warriors edge Wolverines in second round Arapahoe outscores Chaparral to advance to Sweet 16

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Arapahoe girls basketball team won the Feb. 24 Class 5A second-round playoff game over Chaparral in a contest that was closer than the 49-42 final score indicates. “We knew this would be a close game because we are very similar teams,” Arapahoe coach Jerry Knafelc said after the game. “Chaparral is a good, well-coached team. We felt the win would go to the team that had the last scoring run and hoped it would be us. I think it was us because our girls played with a lot of heart through a very tough game.” Chaparral coach Tony Speights said it was a tough loss for his team. “We knew tonight would be a tough battle,” the coach said. “We played hard and maintained that focus down the stretch. We got close but they hit their free throws, and that proved to be the difference. I couldn’t be prouder of our girls and the way they played. I know it is disappointing for our seniors but they can be proud of what

Macy Ziegler drives to the basket to complete a fast break for Arapahoe during the Feb. 24 game against Chaparral. Ziegler scored nine points as the Warriors won the game, 49-42 to advance to the Sweet 16 round of the Class 5A state girls basketball playoffs. TOM MUNDS they accomplished this season and the fact they gave it their best effort.” The Warriors’ win advanced them to the Sweet 16 round of the playoffs. Arapahoe was scheduled to be at Grandview for the Feb. 28 game. Arapahoe and Chaparral came into the Feb. 24 game with similar records, with the Wolverines sporting a 16-8

record and the Warriors amassing a 15-8 record. The game proved to be a tough battle from the opening tipoff to the final buzzer. The Wolverines found the range early and were ahead 12-9 at the end of the first quarter. SEE BASKETBALL, P37

Local boys teams advance to Sweet 16 STAFF REPORT

Top-seeded Valor Christian and No. 2 seed ThunderRidge were two of the seven south metro teams to win second-round games in the Class 4A and 5A state basketball playoffs. Both Valor in 4A and the Grizzlies in 5A drew first-round byes on Feb. 22 and notched second-round victories on Feb. 25 to advance to the Sweet 16 on March 1. Other south metro teams to gain a spot in the Sweet 16 were Cherry Creek, Arapahoe, Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon and Chaparral. Winners of Sweet 16 games moved on to the Great 8, which will be held March 4. In Class 4A, Great 8 games will be hosted by higher-seeded teams, while the Class 5A Great 8 will be at the Denver Coliseum. First-round games • Cherokee Trail 80, Douglas County 48: The Cougars jumped to a 15-0 lead and never looked back in the victory over the Huskies. Douglas County managed the most wins in nine seasons with a 10-14 record. • Denver South 50, Heritage 46: The Eagles were outscored 17-10 in the fourth period and lost a close game to the Rebels. Senior Walker Andrew’s

Second-round games • ThunderRidge 93, Liberty 50: Kaison Hammonds and Corey Seng each scored 19 points for the top-seeded Grizzlies. • Cherry Creek 80, Denver South 71: Jalen Meeks scored 23 points and was one of four Bruins to reach double figures in the win over the Rebels. • Smoky Hill 76, Highlands Ranch 52: The Falcons’ late-season streak of four straight victories ended. • Chaparral 53, Regis Jesuit 50: The Wolverines, down seven entering the fourth quarter, rallied to beat the Raiders as sophomore Joseph Dalton

scored a game-high 19 points for the winners. • Arapahoe 65, Doherty 61: Kyle Lukasiewiz scored 32 points and Jared Johnson chipped in 20 as the Warriors held off Doherty. • Rock Canyon 61, Boulder 50: The Jaguars outscored Boulder by nine points in the fourth quarter to secure the win over the Panthers. • Mountain Vista 47, Legend 39: The Golden Eagles came from behind in the fourth quarter to down the Titans as sophomore Simon May earned Player of the Game honors after scoring 14 points for Vista. • Valor Christian 65, Thomas Jefferson 51: The top-seeded Eagles pulled away in the second half as Dylan McCaffrey’s 17 led four Eagles scorers in double figures. • Vista Peak 52, Ponderosa 47: The Mustangs fell behind early and were eliminated from the 4A playoffs. Class 3A Lutheran, seeded 14th, will play No. 19 Vanguard in a first-round state tournament game March 3 at Colorado Springs Christian school. The Lions were fourth in the Metro district tournament, falling 68-55 to Faith Christian in the third-place game.

here was no use wasting time, so I popped the tough question to RJ McLennan early in the interview. I asked the Rock Canyon senior if OVERTIME he is a skier or a lacrosse player. To be fair, I knew he was a state champion skier who also plays lacrosse. “I’ve dedicated most of my life to skiing so I’d have to say I’m a better Jim Benton skier than a lacrosse player, but I enjoy both,” McLennan answered. On Feb. 24 on the All Out run at the Steamboat Springs Ski Resort, McLennan was skiing for the Evergreen co-op team and won the boys giant slalom at the Colorado State Skiing Championships. He was the fastest during the first run in 51.60 and ensured the state title with a 46.17 time in the second run for an overall 1:37.8 showing. “I went in feeling pretty confident about my GS skiing,” he said. “After the first run, I was in first and thought I could really do it my second run.” McLennan injured his knee while ski racing in 2015 and had surgery. Still he was able to play lacrosse last spring for the Jaguars. He scored 11 goals and had 17 points. In the slalom state championship event on Feb. 25, McLennan finished 18th. “On my second run, I straddled a gate so it wasn’t what I was looking to do,” he said. “I was looking for a podium in slalom also. “It felt pretty good to be a state ski champion. I wanted to finish the high school ski season strong and I plan to go to CU next year just to go to college.” But first, there is the lacrosse season, which starts for Rock Canyon with a March 10 game against Grand Junction at All-City Stadium. “I will take a lot of good conditioning from skiing into lacrosse,” he said. Spring is here After weeks of above average temperatures, snow and cold weather arrived just in time for the opening of practice for spring sports teams. Spring sports practice started Feb. 27 for baseball, girls golf, boys and girls lacrosse, girls soccer, boys swimming, girls tennis, and boys and girls track and field. Among the area’s defending state champions are Faith Christian (3A) and Valor Christian (4A) in baseball, SEE BENTON, P37

Lions win playoff opener before bowing out Littleton girls led by tough defense in team’s win — and in its loss BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton girls basketball coach Adam Williams believes that a successful team needs to play good defense. That’s what the Lions did all season. Littleton defeated Elizabeth, 43-34, in a first-round Class 4A state playoff game on Feb. 21 in the Lions’ gym, but were later ousted in a competitive 43-34 contest at top-seeded Pueblo South on Feb. 24. “We’ve been an outstanding defensive team all year against everybody,” Williams said. “Offensively, it is a bit of a struggle.” The Lions held a Pueblo South team that came into the game averaging 60.2 points a game 17 points below the Colts’ norm. “We knew that team was really good — they have a great coach and a lot of good players,” Williams said. “We weren’t intimidated. We

respected them a lot.” Junior Katie Puchino led the Lions with 12 points against Pueblo South. Senior Maddie Fuchs had 10 points and 6-foot-1 junior Rebekah Sandstrom had 13 rebounds. In the game against Elizabeth, Fuchs scored 12 points, Puchino had 11 and Sandstrom, who was the top rebounder in the Jeffco 4A league, was credited with 15 rebounds. Littleton finished the season with a 14-11 record. “We started 12-4 which was probably a little better than we expected since we beat Green Mountain, D’Evelyn, Valor and all those teams,” Williams said. “A lot of those games were really close but on the back side, we didn’t win a lot of games that were close. “We were just playing great teams every night, but it was a great season and I do think we will continue to get better.” Puchino was the Lions’ leading scorer this season with a 9.5 points-per-game average and she also had 3.8 steals and three assists per game. Sandstrom averaged 7.3 points and 11.8 rebounds, while Fuchs scored at a 7.2 clip, adding 6.2 rebounds a game.

In Class 5A, Highlands Ranch, Castle View, Arapahoe and Cherry Creek made the Feb. 28 Sweet 16 games. Meanwhile in 4A, defending state champion Valor Christian moved into the third round of the playoffs, also on Feb. 28. Winners of Sweet 16 games advanced to the Great 8, which will be held March 3 at the Denver Coliseum for Class 5A teams. Higher-seeded teams will host Class 4A Great 8 contests on March 3. First-round games • ThunderRidge 47, Overland 30: The defending state champion Grizzlies outscored the Trailblazers 30-16 in the second quarter to pull out the victory. Junior Mia Needles made four 3-pointers for ThunderRidge and paced all scorers with 13 points. • Mountain Vista 55, Arvada West 40: Vista sprinted to a 15-point lead at halftime and freshman Makenzie Gamble paced the offense for the Golden Eagles with a game-high 23 points. • Chaparral 78, Mountain Range 29: The Wolverines led 38-11 at halftime and cruised to victory. Senior Reagan Chiaverini connected on nine 3-pointers and finished with 33 points for Chaparral. • Fort Collins 37, Legend 19: After a close first quarter, the Lambkins held the Titans to only 10 points in the final three periods to end Legend’s season.

• Rampart 52, Heritage 38: Junior Collette Schmuhl had 15 points in the Eagles’ loss to Rampart. • Littleton 43, Elizabeth 31: Junior Katie Puchino scored 11 points and Rebekah Sandstrom pulled down 15 rebounds in the Lions’ Class 4A victory. • Falcon 53, Ponderosa 43: The Mustangs couldn’t overcome a 10-point deficit heading in the fourth quarter of the 4A playoff game and ended the season with an 11-13 record, which was the most wins in seven seasons for Ponderosa. Second-round games • Highlands Ranch 83, ThunderRidge 38: Four players scored in double figures as the top-seeded Falcons downed the Grizzlies in a rematch of last season’s 5A championship game. • Arapahoe 49, Chaparral 42: Madelyn Matthews scored 29 points as a strong fourth quarter ensured the No. 15 seed Warriors a win. Reagan Chiaverini topped the Wolverines with 15 points. • Castle View 46, Rocky Mountain 44: The Sabercats, seeded No. 16, won a nip-and-tuck game against the Lobos to advance into the Sweet 16. • Cherry Creek 68, Mountain Vista 37: Jaela Richardson and Delaney Bernard each scored 15 points as the Bruins, seeded 12th, outscored the Golden Eagles 60-24 in the final three quarters. Sydney Trichler paced the Golden Eagles with 11 points. • Pueblo South 43, Littleton 34: Katie Puchino led the Lions with 12 points but the top-seeded Colts used a 19-point outburst in the second quarter to get the win.

hoe then hit a pair of three-pointers and a two-point basket to pull ahead 4032. Chaparral cut the lead to four with just over a minute left in the game. The Wolverines repeatedly fouled the Warrior with the ball in hopes of getting the rebound and scoring baskets. But it didn’t happen because, down the stretch, Arapahoe hit 7-of-8 foul shots. Arapahoe senior Maddie Matthews led all scorers with 29 points and teammate Macy Ziegler scored nine points.

It was a banner night for Matthews as it was a career high in scoring and her point total included included making 13-of-14 shots from the free-throw line. “This was a special night for me,” she said. “I just decided to focus on playing as hard as I could because as a senior you never know when it will be the last game of your high school career.” Senior Reagan Chiaverini was Chap-

arral’s scoring leader with 15 points and junior teammate Sydney Speights scored 14 points. “It was a physical game tonight but we expected that because both teams play a physical style,” Sleights said. “We played hard and wanted to win. We didn’t and I feel bad for our seniors. I know I played hard and maybe a little harder tonight because I wanted to help our seniors and all of us keep playing.”

Batter up There will be a meeting for teams interested in playing in the Colorado Senior Softball Association on March 8 at the Denver Elks Club. The CSSA is for players 50 years old and older, and teams are divided into seven divisions based on competitive
