Seminars help residents get out and about Program’s goal is to help provide seniors with tools for transportation
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cathleen Hawks went to a recent Travel Training seminar to learn the ins and outs of public transportation in the Denver metro area. The 74-year-old from Aurora said she wanted to learn more for herself and her friends — one of whom is getting knee replacement in the near future and won’t be able to drive.

“It’s nice to know more about Lyft and Uber,” Hawks said. “They both sound a lot safer than I thought.” The free two-hour seminar on Aug. 8 at Trails Recreation Center in eastern Centennial was co-hosted by the Centennial Senior Commission, a group of 11 seniors appointed by the city council, and Centennial’s “I-Team,” one of 12 Bloomberg Philanthropies innovation teams across the country. It was the last of four seminars held throughout the summer to help area residents, especially seniors, learn the ropes of modernday transportation. Travel continues on Page 4

Jim Chunn, a resident of Someren Glen Retirement Community in Centennial, recalls his late wife’s experience with Alzheimer’s: Jan was diagnosed with the disease about 6 1/2 years ago when the couple was living in San Francisco. The last three years were very difficult, Chunn said. Jan lost the ability to talk and couldn’t perform daily activities on her own.

Miles for Tuesday ups turnout in second year
Littleton Public Schools this year
By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com

School is back in session this week for Littleton Public Schools’ 15,000 students. Here’s a look at what’s new as classes got underway Aug. 18.
1 2 3 4
Runyon Elementary is back Students are back at Damon Runyon Elementary School in Littleton after construction on the school. Runyon held classes at the Whitman building at the Options Secondary Program campus last year during the construction, which included a steel roof in order to extend the lifespan of the building and provide higher ceilings. The school will host an open house on Sept. 1 to showcase the work done to the building and thank the community for its patience and support, district spokeswoman Anna Ziverts said.
LPS welcomes new staff Some new staff members in Littleton Public Schools this year include two new principals, Karla Gruenwald at Centennial Academy in Littleton and Jennifer Sheldon at Sandburg Elementary School in Centennial. The district also welcomes two new assistant principals at Arapahoe High School: Cory Hawk, who will also be the activities director, and Pat McCabe, who will be athletic director as well. Ziverts said that about 3,000 people apply for about 75 job openings within the district each year.
Teachers are finalists for national awards A pair of Field Elementary School teachers are being honored for math and science teaching and could earn national awards. Lindsey Gunderson-Hahn and Sarah Ogier were selected by a state committee as finalists for the 2016 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. They will move on to a national selection committee composed of science educators that will meet in Washington, D.C. Teachers chosen as national awardees next summer will receive $10,000 and be honored at various ceremonies. LPS Foundation has banner year The Littleton Public Schools Foundation raised $408,000 throughout the last school year to supplement LPS programs. Foundation Executive Director Beth Best recently presented district Superintendent Brian Ewert with a symbolic check representing the year’s fundraising, which included $250,000 to complete STEM centers at the district’s four middle schools. The four-year program outfitted the centers with 3-D printers, new computers, design software and hand tools. In addition, funding supported teacher grants and mental health services for students and families.
A 5K race to memorialize a Castle Rock girl and raise money for a children’s cancer charity drew 277 runners and walkers to Breckenridge Brewery on Aug. 6. This was the second year that Miles for Tuesday hosted its own race, after several years of raising money through other races. The first year had about 150 participants. Miles for Tuesday was started in memory of Tuesday Whitt, who died of neuroblastoma when she was just two years old in January 2009. Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that is most common in infants and young children, according to the American Cancer Society. It starts in developing nerve cells. Tuesday’s parents, Charley and Jessica Whitt, and their friend Bill Mell, started the charity to fund programs to improve the lives of child cancer patients and their families. They hope to bring a program called Shutterbugs to Children’s Hospital fulltime. The program, run by the Pablove Foundation, teaches children with cancer the fundamentals
Piper Whitt, 9, finishes the Miles for Tuesday 5K on Aug. 6. Piper is the twin sister of Tuesday Whitt, who died from neuroblastoma in 2009 at the age of 2. Miles for Tuesday raises money for children’s cancer charities in her honor. Courtesy photo of photography — culminating in an art show that in turn raises more money. Mell said more than $21,000 was raised by the race. “It was an amazing turnout, and a great representation of community and goodwill on display,” he said.

Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce expands car show
Organizers expect about 100 entries in Kaiser lot
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce expanded this year’s car show by extending an invitation to owners of motorcycles and trucks to take part in the event. All the entries will be on display in the Kaiser Permanente parking lot at Cornell Avenue and Acoma Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 20.

“We always have positive feedback,” said senior commissioner Susan Pye. “(Attendees) realize transportation is much easier to understand and to do.” Below are three ways the Centennial Senior Commission and I-Team recommend getting around the area. Go Denver app Go Denver is a free smartphone application that lets users plan transportation routes in the metro area from start to finish. A user customizes his or her route and Go Denver brings up travel options, including public transit, taxi services, driving, biking and walking. Users can then compare options based on travel times, arrival times, costs, carbon emissions and calories burned. The app “is a great resource to find the best transportation option for your individual trip,” according to a document provided by the senior commission at its seminars. To get started: • Download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store. • Open the app and select the three bars
The entry fee to be part of the show is $10 per vehicle. There is no charge for spectators to attend, and organizers plan to add some activities for children, including face painting and inflatables. A variety of agencies, including the newly formed United Service Club of Englewood, will have information booths at the event. The chamber also is supporting Casa Unida Foundation’s effort to collect gently used baseball equipment that will be donated to schools in northern Nicaragua. “We had 90 cars at our first event last year and we had owners of trucks and motorcycles suggest we open the event to
in the top left corner to open the menu. • Select “Settings” to customize preferences, such as the time and cost of travel route. • Select “Transport” to select which types of transit will be included, such as public transportation, taxi, motorbike or bicycle. • Select “Done” and select the back arrow in the top left corner. • A “Ride Now” screen will appear with a GPS map. Specify trip details and click “Route” to see a list of transportation options. Lyft and Uber These two popular smartphone applications act as personalized taxi services. With the click of a button, a driver can be at a specified destination within minutes. But Kelly Brady, senior commission coordinator, said some seminar participants were concerned with the safety and accessibility of these apps. “After the seminar,” she said, “they felt much better knowing they can see a photo of the driver and friends can track where they are using a `Send Estimated Time of Arrival’ button.” Lyft and Uber have upped their security standards over the past years. Both companies require drivers to have their own cars with up-to-date insurance and valid driver’s licenses, and they require background checks and car inspections.
them, too, so we did,” said Randy Penn, chamber director, adding that there are three categories for cars and two each for motorcycles and trucks. “Prizes will be awarded for the top three winners in each class.” Car categories are the nostalgic entries which are pre-1940 vehicles, classic cars made from 1940 to 1979 and modern cars made since 1980. The two classes for motorcycles and trucks are the classic vehicles made before 1980 and the modern vehicles made after 1980. The vote of spectators will determine the category winners as well as determining the winner of the grand prize for the
Best of Show. There were about 90 entries at last year’s car show. Last year’s entries included race cars, hot rods and customized cars that ranged from a 1930 Ford to a 2015 Dodge Challenger. Ed Weber’s 1934 Ford Coupe won first in the pre-1959 classic category, the 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix owned by Herman Lewis won first in the 1960s-’70s class and Geraldo Pound’s 2015 Dodge Challenger was awarded the first-place trophy in the 1980 and newer category. All visitors were asked to vote for a best in show, and that trophy went to the 1941 Willys Coupe owned by Dave Marsh.

The companies also use rating systems so riders can immediately give feedback on drivers and vice versa. The senior commission recommends first using one of the two apps on a small trip to lunch or for an errand. To use the smartphone apps: • Download Lyft or Uber from the App Store or Google Play Store. • Open the app and create an account with a username and password. • Enter a payment method — this will be the credit or debit card on file that is charged each time you ride. • Set a pickup and drop-off destination on the GPS map. Both apps will provide an estimated arrival time. Regional Transportation District Senior commissioner Susan Pye said she often takes Lyft or Uber to an RTD light rail station, takes the light rail and then walks to her final destination. That way she doesn’t have to drive and she gets a daily dose of exercise. RTD provides public transportation ser-

vices throughout the metro area. Its eight rail lines service 53 stations along Denver’s southeast, southwest, west and east corridors, plus a new line northwest to Westminster, with access to popular attractions, including Denver International Airport, the 16th Street Mall and Sports Authority Field at Mile High. RTD also offers door-to-door service through Access-a-Ride — a local bus service for people with disabilities. Prior to using the service, a rider is required to fill out an application. While the service is suitable for those with disabilities, reservations must be made at least one day in advance. Or there is RTD’s Call-N-Ride — a personalized reservation bus service. Riders must call at least two hours in advance to arrange a ride, and RTD will provide an estimated pickup time. When the bus arrives, riders must pay the exact cash fare. RTD’s public bus system runs daily and offers service at more than 10,000 stops across the Denver metro area. A rider can find the closest stop by planning his or her trip online at www.rtd-denver.com/ GoogleTripPlanner.shtml. Most important to the senior commission is their desire for Centennial residents to know that there are options for transportation in the metro area. “At our age we can still drive,” said senior commissioner Nancy Caporale, “but we want to be prepared when we are older and can’t drive.”

Signature event gets off to a roaring start Barbecue, concert and fireworks at Sterne Park kick off activities By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton’s Western Welcome Week began for the 88th time on Aug. 12 at Sterne Park with the Lions Club Community Barbecue, music courtesy of the Denver Municipal Band and fireworks. The theme of this year is “Salute to Educators.” The three parade grand marshals — former Littleton Public Schools Principal Kenneth Coddington, current Littleton High School teacher Michael Montgomery and Hannah Sturdivant, a recent Arapahoe Community College early childhood education graduate — who represent the past, present and future of education, were introduced before the concert. The concert and fireworks— in its 27th year —is perennially popular with many Littleton residents. “This is one of my favorite events of the week,” said local business owner Pete McClintock, a Western Welcome Week board member. Other events of the opening weekend included the Stampede! for Open Space and Gold Panning on the Platte, the Elks Children’s Fishing Derby, the Arapahoe Community College Family Pancake Breakfast, Pancake 5K and the Elks Custom Car Show. The Stampede! For Open Space and gold panning drew families to South Platte Park to play games and learn about the history of the South Platte River. “It’s a time to have fun and become aware of what a treasure South Platte Park is,” said South Metro Land Conservancy board member Bobbie Sheffield. WWW festivities continue throughout the week with a tour of the Colorado Center for the Blind, swing dancing at RiverPointe Senior Living, the Taste of Western Welcome Week and Silent Auction and the

Do You Have Rosacea? Dr. Kimberly Neyman • Colorado Skin & Vein Vascular (Erythematotelangectatic) Rosacea: • Vascular rosacea is characterized by chronic redness and frequent flushing of the skin (especially with alcohol, spicy foods, or exercise). Occasionally, visible blood vessels may be seen on the cheeks or nose. • The most effective treatment for facial redness is the pulse dye laser. Various topical and oral rosacea treatments may help mitigate some of the redness, especially if bumps are also present.
Inflammatory (Papulopustular) Rosacea: • Inflammatory rosacea is characterized by chronic facial redness as well as intermittent or chronic outbreaks of red bumps and pimples.

• Treatment includes topical gels such as metronidazole (Metrogel®) or azeleic acid (Finacea®) and oral antibiotics including doxycycline or minocycline.
Phymatous Rosacea: • Phymatous rosacea is characterized by thickened skin, predominantly on the nose, leading to a lumpy, bulbous appearance (rhinophyma). • Rhinophyma is effectively treated with CO2 laser treatments.
Ocular Rosacea: • Rosacea can involve the eyes and is commonly characterized by a sensation of burning, stinging or grittiness (as if someone threw sand in your eyes). Longstanding ocular rosacea may lead to damage of the cornea (the transparent front layer of the eye). • Treatment includes long-term low-dose antibiotics.
As skin quality and type are different from patient to patient, treatment for rosacea generally includes photo-protection and is personalized for each individual. We will work closely with you to determine the best course of treatment for your unique skin type to control your rosacea and restore your complexion.

Ancient ice reveals vital clues about past climate
Lakewood lab opens window into surprising level of detail By Dan Elliott Associated Press Inside a huge walk-in freezer, a college student in a thick parka shoots a jolt of electricity through a yard-long column of ice extracted from Antarctica. Just outside the freezer, in a much warmer room, a computer wired to the ice registers a sudden spike in a jagged red line crawling across the screen. “Hey, we got a volcano,” says T.J. Fudge, a University of Washington researcher. The electric current has detected a thin layer of volcanic residue in the ice, deposited by an eruption about 8,000 years ago. This is the National Ice Core Laboratory, located at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, where ice pulled from the depths of Antarctica and Green-
land is sliced up, photographed and tested. Most of it is shipped to other labs, where researchers do more experiments looking for clues about Earth’s past and future. Smooth and milky white, the 4- to 5-inch-diameter pieces — called ice cores — provide scientists with a wealth of historical information, from air temperature to greenhouse gases to evidence of cosmic events. The record reaches as far back as 800,000 years. The ice is the remnant of centuries of snowfall, compressed by the weight of successive years of accumulation. “You can drill into it, and it’s much like looking at tree rings,” Fudge said. “It’s just year after year after year of climate information that’s preserved out in the ice sheet.” Specialized drilling rigs pull the cores from as deep as 9,800 feet below the surface of the ice sheets. Crews then tuck them into protective tubes, pack them in chilled containers and ship them to
the United States. Refrigerated trucks haul them to the Colorado lab, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. In a bustling, white-walled workroom in the Lakewood freezer — kept at about minus 11 Fahrenheit — workers push the cores through a series of saws on metal frame benches, divvying up the ice according to a prearranged pattern for different experiments. Part of every ice core is archived in another, larger room at about minus 33 degrees, so future researchers can verify old results or try new tests. The archive contains nearly 56,000 feet of ice. Types of evidence Scientists tease data from the ice in various ways. Differences in the weight of molecules in the frozen water hold clues about the air temperature at the time the snow fell. Air trapped in bubbles can be ana-
lyzed to measure how much carbon dioxide and other gases were in the atmosphere when the ice formed. A solar flare or other cosmic events can leave distinctive radioactive atoms on the snow. Dust blown in from distant continents offers clues about atmospheric circulation. “The ice sheets are in direct contact with the atmosphere,” said Mark Twickler, the lab’s science director. “Everything that’s in the atmosphere we capture as time goes by, and it gets buried in snow.” The depth of the core and evidence of volcanoes help determine how old the ice is. Scientists already know when major eruptions occurred, so a layer of volcanic residue indicates the year the adjacent ice formed. That becomes a reference point for annual layers above and below. The record is remarkably precise, even reflecting seasonal changes, scientists say. Ice continues on Page 9

Walk
BY THE NUMBERS
Continued from Page 1
“I would read stories to her,” Chunn said. “All you can do is just love them — that’s all you can do.” The stress wore on Chunn, who was taking care of his wife full-time. About a year ago, the couple moved to Colorado, where their children live, and Jan began living in a memory care home. Last February, Jan — who was 80 years old — fell and was taken to the hospital. For unknown reasons, she wouldn’t eat or drink. Doctors performed many tests — all which came back normal. Ultimately, her husband said, Alzheimer’s took her life. On Aug. 27, Chunn and other residents of Someren Glen Retirement Community invite neighbors to walk in a fundraiser to defeat Alzheimer’s. The event starts at 9 a.m. at the retirement community at 4751 E. Costilla Drive, between East Arapahoe Road and East Easter Avenue. The walk is affiliated with the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s — the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and money for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Last year, about 11,000 registered participants in Colorado raised more than $1.9 million at 11 regional walks, earning a spot in the top 10 most successful walks in the nation, according to a news release. “The Walk to End Alzheimer’s movement unites the entire community in a

Courtesy photo display of combined strength and dedication,” the release said. “Walk participants and volunteers are the leaders in the effort to defeat this devastating disease.” Alzheimer’s is listed as the sixthleading cause of death in the United States and is expected to become more common as the baby boomer population ages, according to the National
Alzheimer’s Association. The disease is the most common form of dementia — also known as memory loss — and progressively deteriorates mental function. Symptoms include memory loss and changes in thinking and behavior, according to the National Alzheimer’s Association. About 5.4 million Americans have
Alzheimers — 2.2 million are 65 and older and about 200,000 are younger than 65, the National Alzheimer’s Association reports. The Someren Glen Retirement Community walk is open to people of all ages, backgrounds and locations. The entry fee is $5. Adults who would like to make a larger donation are asked to write a check to the Alzheimer’s Association, which the retirement community will pass along. For additional questions call Beth Corn, of Someren Glen Retirement Community, at 720-974-2915.

“It’s as if we’re standing on the ice sheet writing down the temperature for the last 800,000 years,” said Bruce Vaughn, a University of Colorado-Boulder lab manager who works with the ice. “It’s that good.” Without a record of its depth and age, the ice has little research value, said Geoffrey Hargreaves, curator of the Lakewood lab. “An ice core without any depth references — I shouldn’t say this — it’s good for margaritas,” he said, poker-faced. No, Hargreaves said, scientists don’t actually do that. “There’s drill fluids in these things that you really don’t want to drink,” he said. Some experiments are done only on ice from the core’s interior, away from the fluids. Ice cores have led scientists to significant conclusions about climate, including that CO2 levels in the atmosphere
“
today are higher than at any other time recorded in the ice. “The only reason we can make that statement is because we have the ice core air archived,” said Murat Aydin, a researcher at the University of CaliforniaIrvine. Ice cores also help refine computer models used to make climate predictions. “If we run them backwards with the parameters that we measure in the ice core and we get it right, that gives us a lot more confidence in the climate models going forward,” Vaughn said. As technology improves, researchers find new ways to analyze the ice. A technique called continuous flow analysis lets them slowly melt a one-yard stick of ice and analyze it drop-by-drop, instead of cutting it into small pieces, melting them one-by-one and averaging the results. The new technique gives scientists up to 2,400 measurements per yard instead of 20, Vaughn said. “There’ll be science for dozens of years with researchers who are maybe only now getting their degrees or learning about this,” Vaughn said. “It’s exciting. How could you not be excited about it?”
It’s as if we’re standing on the ice sheet writing down the temperature for the last 800,000 years. It’s that good.”

Love, forgiveness work like new Wow, is it just me or are there more people asking to be forgiven and offering up apologies than ever before? We are seeing it in the news, from the politicians, to athletes, we see it and hear it amongst friends and families, I mean I have even found myself asking for forgiveness more and more and certainly offering forgiveness more and more. What is it that is causing such a surge of activity that calls for an apology? What is driving our behaviors, poor choices, and our use of an unsavory and certainly an unhealthy vocabulary? Is it stress? Is it frustration? Could it be our environment or the people we are hanging around with? Maybe it’s a combination of all of it at some time or another. For many of us, asking for forgiveness comes very easily, as we know when we are in the wrong. Our foundational belief system around seeking reconciliation moves us to take action and make amends for our mistakes. And yet for others, asking for forgiveness is one of the toughest things that they will ever do. They are so resistant to apologies and can’t seem to get the words “I’m sorry” to come from their lips. And even though they know that they are wrong, they would rather have a situation or relationship deteriorate before bringing themselves to a point where they could ever admit fault. Some people believe that “Love” means that you never have to say you are sorry.
Or they just use that saying as something to hide behind and as an avoidance mechanism. We are all humans and all have the potential to make mistakes, falter, and make bad choices. Our mistakes have happened in the past and we will certainly make more Michael Norton going forward. And WINNING even when we are in a relationship based on WORDS true love, I can promise you that offering a sincere and well-deserved apology will strengthen that relationship and bring deeper love than making the decision to remain silent. When appropriate, asking for forgiveness and offering apologies are absolutely the right thing to do. And just as important is to find the strength and love in our own hearts to offer forgiveness. Each and every one of us has already been forgiven. And yet, many of us who have received forgiveness still hold back and deny that same forgiveness to others. Some of us hold on to anger and grudges, believing that we are hurting the person who is trying to apologize. When in reality, the only person that continues to remain hurt is the person who is withhold-
ing the forgiveness. You may try and come up with many different scenarios where forgiveness could just not be possible. The sin or mistake was just too terrible to be forgiven. And I will share with you that in each and every scenario you can think of, the support and rationale for forgiveness will always outweigh the perception to deny or withhold forgiveness. OK, so maybe you can get close to agreeing with me, and you may say something like, “I can forgive them, but I will not forget.” If you can get to that point of forgiveness, you may as well go all the way to forgetting too. Holding on to a bad memory or situation, or harboring any sort of anger will only lead to reliving the event or situation over and over again. So learn from the mistake, set good boundaries so you can’t be hurt again, but learn to love, forgive, and forget. How about you? Are you living with a spirit of love and forgiveness? Is there someone who would love to hear an apology from you? Is there someone that would love to be forgiven by you? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when love and forgiveness are a part of our guiding values, it really will be a better than good week.

Take practical steps toward senior years
Business Manager AUDREY BROOKS
This article is for everyone, regardless of age. While none of us likes to think about getting older, it could be your siblings, parents or your grandparents who need your help in making good decisions. Staying at home and staying indepenPatricia Kummer dent are two different FINANCIAL things. Perhaps the STRATEGIES best way to be truly independent is to be free of the house and yard work. Therefore, choosing where you will live should be determined by what is important to you. It is never too early to plan on how to go about providing for yourself or your loved ones. In almost 30 years of advising clients of all ages, I have learned a few things. The terms “aging” or “elderly” do not mean “helpless.” It does not mean they can’t think for themselves and it does not mean they are sick. In some cases those other things also occur but not always. Being retired does not mean you are old and being over a certain age does not mean you are no longer productive or able to work, volunteer and take care of yourselves. Having gray hair or wearing reading glasses does not mean you are elderly. I see people in their 40s who have both these days. The ironic thing is that a typical 40-year-old could live another 60 years. That means they could be considering “aging” for the majority of their lives. OK, so point taken, we start aging before we can walk. Now, how to plan for the inevitable starts with understanding the facts. Let’s take a look at housing. This seems to be the biggest challenge, especially for people who have not moved in a very long time. It is difficult to imagine living anywhere else. The sticker shock that goes along with “downsizing” or moving to a retirement community often deters many seniors from even looking further. A majority of older adults have not changed residences in

Zzzzz ... it’s worth repeating
Craig Marshall Smith
QUIET DESPERATION
Zzzzzz. Is there anything better than sleep? Just before sleep and just after sleep are my two favorite times of the day. The name for the lovely period right before we nod off is not very dreamy. Hypnagogia. It’s the transition from being awake to being asleep. Coming out of sleep has a
graceless name too. Hypnopompia. I dated a girl in high school named Gladys Hynopompia. As you can imagine, she was teased a lot. I heard that she married a man named Brown, and her disposition improved immeasurably. Before I rhapsodize about sleep, I want to express my condolences to anyone who
can’t sleep, and to anyone who falls asleep when they wish they didn’t. Insomnia is no good for you. Narcolepsy is no good for you either. Remember the Dormouse in “Alice”? Sleep comes upon me easily, and I look forward to it. When I was in college, I could sleep for 12 hours, wake, brush my teeth, and go back to it. Now I sleep for a few hours at a time, accomplish as much as I can, nap, and repeat. I am following Edison’s example. It’s called “polyphasic sleeping.” I don’t know who came up with names for sleeping and sleeping disorders, but there is no poetry in them, is there? When I am about to fall asleep, I purposely reminisce, and I schedule my recollections. On Mondays, I reminisce about my father. On Tuesdays, I reminisce about Little League. On Wednesdays, it’s ex-girlfriends. I try to avoid bad times and Smith continues on Page 11

Now is the time to roll out the rain barrels
Jessie Danielson
GUEST COLUMN
It’s been a long and surprisingly difficult fight, but on Aug. 10 my new law legalizing rain barrels in Colorado officially took effect. The new law makes Colorado the last of the 50 states to allow citizens to collect and store the rainwater that falls on their roofs. It’s estimated that using two rain barrels could save your home as much as 1,200 gallons of water per year. Now, residents across the state are able to use rain barrels to collect the water from their roofs to water their plants and gardens. Here are a few tips to help get you started: • Rain barrels of different shapes, sizes and materials may be purchased at many hardware and home improvement stores across the state, as well as online. • You may use up to two barrels for a combined total of 110 gallons. • The water collected may only be used on your
property, and may not be used for drinking water. • Your rain barrel must have a secure lid and screen to keep mosquitos from becoming a problem. Most rain barrels available for purchase include the necessary equipment. • To install your rain barrel, you really only need a gutter. But, depending on the gutters on your home, you may want to get a flexible gutter extension or additional materials that best suit your downspouts. • As winter approaches, make sure to empty the rain barrel to avoid any damage that freezing water might cause. I can tell you from my experience that purchasing, assembling and installing my rain barrel under a downspout was easy and didn’t take much time at all. From now on, I’ll be one of many Coloradans using rain barrels and taking part in this simple way to save a little bit of water. This is
especially important to me, as we welcome 10,000 new Colorado residents each month and need to work to conserve our most precious resource. Conservation Colorado worked with my co-prime sponsors, Rep. Daneya Esgar and Sen. Mike Merrifield, and me on this bill, and has a lot more information at http://conservationco. org/2016/07/all-about-rain-barrels/ Thanks to so many of you for your outpouring of support for the passage of this bill. Now that it is official, I hope you’ll take advantage of the new law and get a rain barrel for your home. Together we really can make a difference.

Danielson or learn more, call her cell at 720-2763468 or visit www.JessieDanielson.com.

more than 20 years (58 percent), and 75 percent say they intend to live in their current home for the rest of their lives. If you are unlikely to move, the next step is getting the home ready to age in place. Many older adults have been proactive in making home improvements, including 34 percent who have made bathroom upgrades and 28 percent who have improved lighting. Other options may be to move in with other family members. While this concept is assumed in many other cultures, it has not been popular in this country for several generations. Housing costs continue to rise, which may force extended family dwellings in due time. This could work well for three or more generations living in the same household as child care, home upkeep and working adults all need to be considered. The number of resources to support in-home health care is not sufficient for the coming need. Therefore, cost will continue to rise and services may suffer as resources are stretched thin. The costs of providing services for those who don’t have the time, expertise or ability to care for their own home are also on the rise. Therefore we see more rentals and multi-family dwellings designed to lower purchase and maintenance costs. First, determine what the needs of the family members are and research all pos-
coffee. But, still in bed, with the dachshund at my side, everything is rosy, as if I have shaken the Etch-a-Sketch, and I get to start all over. That’s because I haven’t turned on the computer. That’s because I haven’t read the newspaper. Ignorance is bliss for five or 10 minutes. I have plenty of comfort and joy, food, and few financial worries. My love life is just fine. Then, gradually, the realities of existence begin to enter, and another day takes a familiar shape. “The (Olympics) stadium was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers with assault rifles.” There have been times when I couldn’t get to sleep because of ailments, problems at school, my father and mother’s sible options. Next, define the available resources to use for a possible move. That senior community that appeared very expensive may make more sense when you realize what you could sell the big house for and what the maintenance would cost over time. Maybe the adult children are struggling under mortgage payments and could use some help and have room. Perhaps it is time to clean out the attic, sell any extra cars, lawn supplies and put everything on one floor. With the number of knee and hip replacements, many people have the need to have all of their living space on one floor. There are many considerations you can discuss with your financial planner, elder law attorney, healthcare provider and family members. Understand how these decisions affect the estate, taxes and assets. Consider selling items the kids are not interested in such as antiques, artwork, jewelry and tools. It is hard to imagine being somewhere else if the past is weighing you down. Time marches on, so putting off decisions to another day may limit your options.

The local beardsman Men put style, masculinity on display with facial hair By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com
A
s an elementary school teacher in New Mexico, Nick Mischel had to keep a certain appearance. “In teaching, you have to be relatively conservative,” Mischel said. “I was able to have a goatee, but not a full-on beard.” Three years ago, he quit teaching and pursued his dream of being a barber — a traditional barber who performs straight-razor shaves and does it while looking the part. “I’ve changed my whole identity looking like this with the long beard,” said Mischel, who works at Freddy’s Barber Shop in Arvada. “If I could barber in the 1800s, I would be right there.”
FUN FACTS
• 55 percent of males worldwide have some kind of facial hair, according to the History Channel.
• The last president to wear a beard in office was Benjamin Harrison, who served from 1889-1893.
• A thick beard can help prevent skin cancer by providing 50 percent to 95 percent protection from harmful ultraviolet rays, according to a study by researchers at the University of Southern Queensland in Australia and published in the journal Radiation Protection Dosimetry.
• The beard of Norway’s Hans N. Langseth measured 17 feet 6 inches at the time of his death in 1927. Langseth holds the Guinness world record for longest beard, which was presented to the Smithsonian Institution in 1967.
Parker Mayor Mike Waid said he’s had facial hair since fifth grade and doesn’t like the way he looks without it. “If you think about it, societally, beards are one of the few masculine accessories that a man has to work with,” Waid said. “It’s fun.” Eric Lough, founder of Denver-

based The Famous Beard Oil Co., said while beards have become more common in recent years, especially in Colorado, they are far from a new trend. “Of course, there is an influx of beard-growing over the past few years, but to me, personally, beards are always around and they’re never
going to go away,” Lough said. “If you look throughout history, in every old picture you see, there is a man with a beard.” Attention grabber Mischel said his beard attracts business as well as attention. “Since I have this look, and I’m interested in having the same look as my clients, it kind of advertises for me,” he said. “Lots of times, I’ll be at the store and someone will ask me about my beard and I’ll tell them I’m a barber.” Tyler Johnson, of Lone Tree, said he’s grown facial hair for the majority of his adult life. He has been working on his current beard for four years. He routinely gets asked about his look. “You don’t normally go and randomly compliment people as they walk down the street, but people Beards continues on Page 13

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com In addition to being mayor of Parker, Mike Waid is founder of Extraordinary Beards, a local company that makes facial hair-care products. He started the company after making his own beard oils at home for himself and friends. “What I found, and it was a little disheartening, is that most products were either based on brand or smell,” Waid said. “There was Viking-brand oil and pirate oil and zombie baseball player. I’m not kidding you.” Waid said his oils are made with allnatural ingredients and are focused on hair health. Beard oils add shine, reduce dryness and moisturize skin and hair, the beardsmen say. A small amount can be brushed into a beard as part of a daily routine.
Eric Lough, who started Denverbased The Famous Beard Oil Co. six years ago, said beard oils are right for anyone with any type of skin. But it’s important to wait until your beard is dry before applying. “You don’t use a lot. You don’t want your beard and face to feel oily,” Lough said. “You use about a dime to a quartersize amount depending on the size of your beard.” Beard oils and other similar products have become more readily available in recent years. Beardsman say they are essential to healthy grooming and help combat the great enemy of facial hair — itch. “We have a guy in the Netherlands who is a professional Santa Claus,” Waid said. “He has a long white beard and he’ll buy 20 bottles at a time because his beard is his profession and he has to keep it healthy.”

The power of story comes through in songs What was the last song you heard that really told a story? Scrolling through the radio these days, the vast majority of songs are about feelings — usually love, or lack of — or songs addressing a particular person. None of this is bad, per se, but some of the most affecting songs bring the listener into a different world and tell a story. Clarke Reader Unfortunately, for those of us LINER who find ourselves NOTES in little turns of phrase or scenes from these oftenlong tracks, story songs appear to be falling by the wayside in a pop climate that prizes inclusivity over nuance and bland sentiments over real storytelling. There’s a transformative magic about the specificity of language and detail in what are now referred to as a story songs, more familiarly known as ballads, an art that traces its history to Medieval times. They foster connection between the musician and the listener, even if

randomly stop and compliment me on my beard as I’m walking,” Johnson said.” I’m used to it now, but when I’m with someone who isn’t used to the attention they’ll say to me, ‘Does this happen all the time?’ And I’m like, ‘pretty much.’ ” Brad Wann, of Highlands Ranch, has worn a beard for more than 20 years and advises if you go down the path of looking different, you should always expect the unexpected. “Just this year, I was in a crowded coliseum, when two women walking by just had to feel my beard,” Wann said. “One actually reached out and touched it without asking. I’ve had total strangers ask to take photos with me.” Lough, a self-described beardsman, said people treat him differently because of his facial hair. “I get called sir a lot,” Lough said. “There’s more respect.”
you’ve never experienced what the song is about. Consider songs like The Shangri-Las’ “The Leader of the Pack,” Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row,” Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue” or Eminem’s “Stan.” These kinds of songs have the power of empathy — allowing the listener to relate to an idea or emotion by avoiding generalities, and going deep. I started thinking about this while listening to Car Seat Headrest’s hilarious and heartbreaking “The Ballad of Costa Concordia” in the car on the way home from work. The 10-minute opus is from his 2016 album “Teens of Denial.” The Costa Concordia was an Italian cruise ship that sunk in 2012, claiming 32 lives. The Car Seat Headrest song doesn’t chronicle events leading to the crash — instead, it focuses on the many mistakes we make in our 20s as we try to figure out our lives. Singer Will Toledo details a litany of his mistakes — to emphasize how he is still learning. Check out the questions: How was I supposed to know how to ride a bike without hurting myself? How was I supposed to know how to make dinner for myself? How was I supposed to know how to hold a job? How was I supposed to remember to grab my backpack after I set it down to
A nice beard takes time: “You don’t want to look dirty. You don’t want to look unkempt and you don’t want to look like you just fell into a beard,” Waid said. “We get our hair cut for a reason. We trim our nails for a reason. You take vitamins and keep healthy for a reason. That should absolutely apply to your beard.”
Selection: Blind Pilot’s “And Then Like Lions,” released on ATO Records.
The result is as warm and invigorating as a blanket on a cool autumn day.
Review: Wistful and lilting, Blind Pilot’s third album is the perfect folk rock soundtrack for the end of summer and beginning of autumn. The group adds some lovely horn lines to its shimmering cascade of guitars and banjos.
Favorite song: “Which Side I’m On”
To feel the full force of song, a listener has to be engaged. play basketball? As the song goes on, Toledo starts identifying with the captain of the Costa Concordia, which is where the power of story kicks in. Toledo projects himself into the mind of someone who messed up royally, not because he was evil, but because he made a crucial error. How the hell was I supposed to steer this ship? It was an expensive mistake! he howls, before the song crashes into waves of
A lifestyle In Colorado, full beards are a common occurrence. “It fits with the lifestyle,” Waid said. “When I’m out in the elements in the winter time, it absolutely makes a difference and keeps your face warmer.” Waid notices an unspoken bond with many of the men with beards he comes across. “Sometimes,” he said, “it’s just a look.” Wann agreed that beards and the outdoor lifestyle go hand in hand. “The more I did mountain-themed events, the more I wanted to look the part,” Wann said. “From being a pack burro racer to reindeer wrangler, it just fit well.” In addition to being a good fit for the climate and character of the state, Lough said Colorado also offers a number of barbershops that know how to maintain and trim your beards because of their popularity. “I really don’t think I’ll shave it off completely,” Lough said. “There were times throughout the years that I trimmed it down pretty short, but I felt bad about it and grew it back.”
BEARD GROWING AND GROOMING TIPS Don’t wash your beard every day: “You still want to be clean,” Mike Waid said. “You can let the water run over it in the shower, but don’t get in there and scrub it with a bar of soap or shampoo or anything like that. It dries the heck out of the skin under your beard and beard hair itself.”

guitar and reverb. By focusing on details specific to his experiences, Toledo invites the listener to remember his or her own mistakes and frustrations, before providing the vital moment of catharsis. To feel the full force of song, a listener has be engaged. That’s what storytelling does — pulls us into the life of someone else. Talk about power.

Trim judiciously: “Trimming is a delicate subject because people will get frustrated and go at it,” barber Nick Mischel said. “Really, what they need to do is just take bread crumbs off. If they ever come at you with a full-on clipper, that is probably not the person who should trim your beard.” For a long beard, let sideburns grow: “For people who really want to grow it long, it’s important not to trim too high up into the
sideburns because as it grows, it falls down,” Mischel said. Know the shape of your face: “People should know the shape of their face when they are growing out a beard,” said Eric Lough of The Famous Beard Oil Co. “They should know how it should look. Some men look great with, say, a medium-sized beard. But if they grow it out, it just doesn’t look right on them.”

A Musical Murder Mystery Presented by MO Productions September 11th at 4:30 p.m. Come join us in remembering Johhny Gagliano as we attend his wake in this musical sequel to 2010’s “Limited Engagement�. Returning from parts unknown after literally getting away with murder at their engagement party-turned-wedding are Lilly White & Dirk Forester, to pay their respects to Dirk’s friend, Johnny. They feel uncomfortably familiar with a number of the attendees, including Johnny’s not-so-grieving widow, Angie Scungili-Galiano, former wedding consultant-turned funeral director and Johnny’s business partner, Frankie Dazzle, and Frankie’s new assistant, Grace Taylor, who resembles a creepy person from the past that they’d sooner forget. As everyone catches up, it appears maybe Dirk & Lilly aren’t quite as welcome as they might think, and someone dies! Due to sexual humor and suggestive adult language, this show is rated PG-13. Tickets include: Mini- Castle Tours, Buffet Dinner and Performance. A cash bar will also be available to purchase drinks.

Luhan is focus of new exhibit
WHAT'S HAPPENING NEAR YOU? Visit our website at ColoradoCommunityMedia.com.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Mabel Dodge Luhan and Company: American Moderns and the West” is the title of an exhibit that has taken over the Harwood Museum in Taos, New Mexico, an affiliate of the University of New Mexico since 1935. Readers in our area who plan a Taos trip by Sept. 11 should be sure to include a couple of hours for this opportunity to learn a bit of local lore. The exhibit offers a strong portrait of the truly exceptional Mabel Dodge Luhan, who fell in love with the location, light and color of New Mexico (and Taos Indian Tony Luhan) and encouraged a band of American artists to follow her there. The concept for this beautifully displayed exhibit has been on the museum’s agenda since 1979, when the first grant request was written to the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington. It is the largest ever for the Harwood, according to Director of Development Juniper Manley, who said “we couldn’t have borrowed these works 10 years ago.” Curators of the exhibit are MaLin WilsonPowell, who is credited with bringing artistic vision through her experience elsewhere as a curator, and Dr. Lois Rudnick, author and pre-eminent scholar on Mabel Dodge Luhan. Arranged chronologically, the exhibit begins with a story of Mabel Ganson’s lonely childhood as the only child of a prominent Buffalo, New York banking family. Product of an unhappy marriage, she found her life interests through her second mentor, Violet Shillito, who introduced Mabel to late 19th-century avant-garde poetry, music and literature, according to a gallery guide produced by the museum. Two lifetime principles developed: “la grande vie interieure” (cultivating an inner life of spiritual beauty) and the pursuit of art “for life’s sake.” In 1904, as a young widow with a 4-yearold son, she headed to Florence, Italy. She met and married Boston architect Edwin Dodge and bought and restored the Villa Curonis, a former Medici palace. Here, she also met the famous author and hostess Gertrude Stein, who had a collection of modern art. During World War I, she moved to New York and became involved with organizing

the 1913 Armory Show, which was a milestone in Modern American art. She started to host the Salon Dodge and became involve in social causes. She married a third husband, Russian artist Maurice Stern, and sent him to New Mexico in 1917 to find new inspiration for his work. He soon wrote her to come “save the Indians, their art-culture — reveal it to the world.” She arrived in Taos on Jan. 1, 1918 and later wrote, ”My life broke in two right then, and I entered the second half, a new world that replaced all the ways I had known with the others, more strange and terrible and sweet than any I had been able to imagine.” (Quoted from her book, “Edge of the Taos Desert: An Escape to Reality,” 1937.) This is one of a number of books she wrote about her life in New Mexico. They are exhibited among the art treasures at the museum.) In June 1918, she bought a property at the edge of Taos and built “Los Gallos,” assisted by Taos Indian activist Tony Luhan, who became her next husband. The home was designed to be a meeting place for artists from New York and elsewhere and the combination with Hispanic art formed the “Southwest Modernism,” exhibited in this Harwood show. Works by Marsden Hartley, Dorothy Brett, Victor Higgins, John Marin, Andrew Dasburg, Georgia O’Keeffe and Emil Bistram are included in this exhibit. Other prominent guests who visited her in Taos included Martha Graham, Willa Cather, Mary Austin, D.H. Lawrence, Paul Strand and Edward Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams, Maynard Dixon, Dorothea Lange and more. The exhibit moves to the Albuquerque Museum Oct. 29 to Jan. 22, 2017, and then to the Burchfield Penney Museum in Buffalo, New York, March 10 to May 28, 2017. The Harwood Museum of Art was formed in 1923 by Lucy Harwood and the Taos Society of Artists and is affiliated with the University of New Mexico since 1935. It was purchased by artists Burt and Elizabeth Harwood in 1916, when they moved from Paris and remodeled in the Pueblo/Spanish architectural style. Since there was no library in Taos, the Harwoods shared their private collection. The handsome adobe building was remodeled in 1937 under famous architect John Gaw Meem and became a base for UNM programs.

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
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.
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 experts 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 help. 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 technology such as fluoroscopy 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 fluoroscopy, 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-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic 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 720-500-1045.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

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 SecretTo 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
Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”
Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of holistic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
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 the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-
swered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief
Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours. If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain? So call 720-500-1045 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community. And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 720-500-1045.
If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee? Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other anti-inflammatory medications without success? Have you already tried viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Supartz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results? If you answered yes to any of these questionscall Osteo Relief Institute and schedule your risk free knee pain screening screening 720-500-1045

Iraq: 25 Years Later Twenty-five years ago, the United States began Operation Desert Storm in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Twelve years later, the second Gulf War led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and toppled the government of Saddam Hussein.

This task has become more difficult as the Sunni extremist group ISIS has mounted a serious military offensive against the Shia led government of Iraq. The regional roots and implications of this conflict are extensive and potentially disastrous to stability in this part of the world. Join Active Minds from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, as we examine the past, present, and potential future of this volatile area in crisis.

Tall or small, talented setters a hit
While there’s a movement toward finding girls with more height, it’s the skill that sets the pace
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
There has been a trend in girls high school volleyball toward having taller players as setters. Setters in volleyball are like the quarterback in football or the point guard in basketball. They run the offense and determine which of the attackers should be set for a hit. It used to be that smaller, OUTLOOK quicker girls fit into the role Volleyball teams of a setter, but play for a little more coaches are now than nine weeks in looking for taller an attempt to qualify athletes who are for the regionals in all fast, quick and classes, which must be can beat the ball completed by Nov. 5. to the necesThe all-class sary spot on the state tournament is court to set up scheduled for Nov. 11 teammates. and 12 at the Denver And taller Coliseum. setters are able to more effectively attack on the front line. “In the perfect world, I would have a tall, left-handed setter,” Arapahoe coach Jordan Emily Wright said. “Since I cannot recruit at the high school level, I would take a setter that is difficult to read and smart on the court any day.” Jasmine Schmidt, a senior who plays at Chaparral, is what could be termed a perfect setter. She is 6 feet 1 and is lefthanded. “It helps to be taller, especially if you are running your offense from the front row just to have a bigger person up front,” Schmidt said. “When you’re taller, you can reach the ball at a high contact point.

Taking control can turn the tide
Players who consistently seize possession give teams their best shot
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
An exceptional striker, solid midfielder, steady defender and a good keeper are important for any successful boys soccer team. But the most valuable player is often the athlete who consistently wins or controls 50/50 balls, which allows his team to keep possession and many times, helps his team score goals and play good defense. A 50/50 ball is one in which two players from opposing teams approach a loose ball either on the ground or in the air, with both having an equal chance of getting the ball. A first touch is when a player makes first contact with the ball and tries to control it. “Winning 50/50s is a premier quality of every winning team,” Valor Christian coach Brian Schulz said. “From scoring off 50/50 set plays to winning balls in the run of play to caring if you win even a 50/50 throw-in, it says something about your desire to achieve, win, compete
and beat your opponent.” defensively to create turnovers Players need anticipation, or create chances to win the ball,” Hayes said. “There are confidence and physicality to be those opportunities to win 50/50 successful on 50/50 balls. challenges, but they only really “Especially for good 50/50 occur when a change in possesplayers, it’s anticipating a ball sion happens.” before it’s played and under“Ideally, we keep standing what could possession on ofhappen,” Heritage OUTLOOK fense and create opcoach Adam Buseck portunities to win said. “Then for the There will be 32 the ball on defense. rest of them, it’s like teams that qualify Playing small side basketball — boxing for the Class 3A, 4A games is the best out and having some and 5A state playoffs way to simulate skill to get out of that begin Oct. 28. the idea of keeping pressure.” Last season, Heritage, the ball or winning Legend coach Cherry Creek, state it.

a corner kick over the goal in the 45th minute of the 2-2 tie with Colombia on Aug. 9. Horan scored the first USA penalty shot goal in the shootout against Sweden following a 1-1 tie Aug. 12.
Rio update: Nursing an injured ankle, she replaced Megan Rapinoe in the 33rd minute and scored the second goal for the U.S. in the 45th minute of the 2-2 tie against Colombia Aug. 9. Pugh became the youngest player to score an Olympic goal for the United States. In the Aug. 12 quarterfinal match, she was helped off the field with an apparent ankle injury in the 114th minute of the match that ended in a 1-1 tie. Sweden, however, eliminated the Americans 4-3 in a penalty kick shootout.
Janine Beckie About Beckie: Canadian’s women’s soccer team, 2012 Valor Christian graduate, born in Highlands Ranch, Denver resident, 21 years old.
Lindsey Horan About Horan: U.S. women’s soccer team, 2012 Golden High School graduate, Golden resident, 22 years old.

especially when you are in the front row, you can attack the ball on the second contact without having the ball cross over your body,” said Schmidt, who is committed to play next season at Palm Beach Atlantic University. “It’s a lot more comfortable and faster for me to swing on second contact because the ball doesn’t have to cross to the right side on my body so it is faster and more natural. “Also if there is a stop jump to the middle of the floor, most setters kind of do that with their left hand, and your left hand is naturally stronger, so you don’t have to worry about missing it or tipping it to the wrong spot because you have more control and power.” Lauren Lowry, a junior at Castle View, also fits Wright’s model as a good — though not tall — setter because she is smart and deceptive.
Rio update: He was in the lineup and played well for the U.S., which was eliminated from medal rounds Aug. 10 with a 24-19 loss to Fiji. In the first two matches held on Aug. 9, the U.S. lost 17-14 to Argentina and beat Brazil, 26-0. The U.S. beat Brazil 24-12 in a placing semifinal and captured ninth place on Aug. 11 with a 24-12 victory over Spain. Missy Franklin About Franklin: U.S. women’s swimming team, 2013 Regis Jesuit graduate, Centennial resident, 21 years old
Rio update: After scoring three goals in Canada’s first two wins, she was rested in a 2-1 win over Germany in the third game Aug. 9. She assisted on Canada’s lone goal in a 1-0 quarterfinal win over France on Aug. 12. Canada was scheduled to play Germany in the Aug. 16 semi-final match.
Rio update: She didn’t qualify for the 200-meter finals Aug. 9 but swam in the prelims on the 4x200 meter relay team. She wasn’t in the lineup for finals but earned a gold medal when the American team won Aug. 10. It was her fifth gold medal after winning four golds and one bronze in the 2012 Olympics. She was 14th in the Aug. 11 semifinals of the 200-meter backstroke, an event in which she holds the world record, and didn’t qualify for the finals.
Ben Pinkelman About Pinkelman: U.S. men’s rugby team, 2012 Cherry Creek High School graduate, Centennial resident, 22 years old.
“Coaches want taller setters to compete with the taller hitters, but in my opinion I don’t think that necessarily matters,” Lowry said. “I’m like 5-foot-6, which is small for a setter. I feel like the most important thing is if you set your hitters and score points doing that.” It takes familiarity with the game and teammates to be a valuable setter, particularly amid chaotic rallies. “As a setter, you are involved every single play,” Lowry said. “The goal is to run a fast offense, to get your hitters in a one-on-one situation so they have more area to hit the ball, and I guess setting up your hitters so they have a chance to score points for the team. You definitely have to know your players. “In general, being a shorter setter, it’s better to run a faster offense to keep the ball along the net more rather than shooting it up high. That gives the other team less time to go block and gives your hitters more time. You have to run the plays and tell your hitters what you are running on every single play.”

Keeping control of 50/50 balls can be tough. “For me, I kind of have to spot where I think the ball is going to go and get there before anybody else to the spot, and from there I kind of have to get physical a little bit to make sure I’m in a better position...” Reisler said. “I have to physically go get the ball. I have to have that will to get the ball.
“If I know I can’t get to it, I try to position myself at the best possible position to receive the second ball where it is going to rebound out to.” Reisler’s teammate, senior Shayan Mehrani, said players need to mix it up and not get pushed away from the 50/50 balls. “I just use my body,” Mehrani said. “I just go in just being strong and not backing away from the ball, using your arms and obviously not playing dirty. With a 50/50 it is not that hard not to foul as long as you are not tugging a jersey or holding onto someone’s shoulder and just jump straight up on air balls and use your body.”

Residents flocked to Centennial Center Park, adjacent to the Centennial Civic Center off East Arapahoe Road, on Aug. 13 for live music, games, food and drink, and a sky-illuminating laser light show. This year’s festivities featured a special performance from Under a Blood Red Sky — The U2 Tribute. The Denver-based band mirrored U2, the Irish rock group known for
its hits “With or Without You” and “Beautiful Day.” “Under a Blood Red Sky — The U2 Tribute brought the type of electrifying performance worthy of our largest annual event,” said Chris Michlewicz, communications coordinator of the City of Centennial. “The band brought the incredible energy and musicianship we have heard so much about.” The city was also pleased with the local opening bands, The Redlands and Chemistry Club. The indie rock groups “kept the crowd on their feet,” Michlewicz said.
It’s all smiles at a water balloon toss at Centennial Under the Stars on Aug. 13. Centennial Center Park’s biggest event of the summer drew thousands of people from the Denver metro area. Photos courtesy of the City of Centennial
