Park Meadows — ‘a magnet’ for growth Mall reaches 20th anniversary as major destination for retail By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Park Meadows mall was being built in the mid-1990s, some in the fledgling city of Lone Tree didn’t favor it — some didn’t even know what the massive structure near I-25 and County Line Road was going to be. “When I first moved here, I was signing my kids up for soccer and I was telling one of the other parents how I moved here for Park Meadows. She said, ‘It’s so beautiful. I love that building. How many seniors is
it going to house?’ ” said Pamela SchenckKelly, Park Meadows’ general manager for its 20-year existence. “I came back to the construction trailer the next day and said, ‘Folks, we have our work cut out for us.’ ” Sharon Van Ramshorst, one of Lone Tree’s first residents in the early 1980s, remembers that not everyone welcomed Park Meadows with open arms. “Despite the fact that there were huge signs on the site that said ‘future mall,’ people would say, ‘I didn’t know there was a mall there’ and ‘We don’t want that mall,’ ”said Van Ramshorst, who served on city council from 2004 to 2012. “It was a small number of people, but they were very vocal.” Mall continues on Page 5

Mike Warren and his 3-year-old son, Hosea, spent Sept. 3 at the parking lot of South Suburban Ice Arena, 6580 S. Vine St., Centennial, for the fifth annual Touch-a-Truck extravaganza. “This is great,” Warren said. “He loves seeing all the trucks.” When asked what piece of machinery was his favorite, Hosea responded, “The fire truck.” It was a common answer among the young attendees. The free event, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., gave kids the chance to explore a variety of machinery, including trucks, tractors, emergency vehicles and a Zamboni that made piles of snow on the cement. It was the perfect photo op for parents and grandparents. Touch-a-Truck usually has between 600 and 800 guests, said Dirk Doty, recreation coordinator of South Suburban. “It’s fun for all kids, all ages,” Doty said, “and it gives families something to do over Labor Day weekend.”

District Attorney George Brauchler says that by embracing digital discovery, the 18th Judicial District is a leader in bringing the courtroom into 2016. Brauchler volunteered the district to be the first in Colorado to launch eDiscovery, making it mandatory on Aug. 22. Discovery, Brauchler the process by which attorneys obtain evidence, is streamlined by the digital process, Brauchler said. “People had to physically come in to pick up discovery,” he said, noting that in the past, attorneys would drag around large files full of paperwork. “Now, they go to court with their laptop,” Brauchler said. “The future is the direction we’re headed now.” Brauchler said that the digital discovery process will lead to fewer hearings being continued to later dates, which often happens when defense attorneys have not received all of the discovery, and can cause a ripple effect, postponing other hearings. “I think we’re going to create an extra level of efficiency,” he said.

CPR, first-aid training teaches crucial skills Littleton center available to care providers, laypeople
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com In late August, a student in a class at Colorado Cardiac CPR and First Aid Training in Littleton experienced chest pains and other symptoms of cardiac problems. Luckily, she was surrounded by people who knew exactly what to do. An ambulance was called, she went to the emergency room, and was out of the hospital within days, owner Timothy Snyder said. While Colorado Cardiac offers certification courses for people working in medicine, it also offers first-aid and CPR classes for laypeople.
AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION’S CPR GUIDELINES According to the American Heart Association, untrained bystanders should provide CPR using only chest compressions for adult victims of cardiac arrest, continuing until the arrival of rescuers with additional training or an automatic external defibrillator. The untrained rescuer should perform com“Most people, in their day-to-day lives, don’t think that they’re going to need to know that stuff,” Snyder said. “And most of the time, they don’t.” However, Snyder said, in the rare cases an emergency does occur, a little knowledge can go a long way. And keeping up with the latest standards is important. The American Heart Association has continually updated

CPR guidelines over the years as new research has been done. Over the years, more emphasis has been placed on the use of chest compressions in the technique, which is used for an emergency response to cardiac arrest. Providing rescue breathing has been de-emphasized. “They’re realizing that people have enough oxygen already in their blood,” said Snyder, who also serves with South

Light rail bridge construction underway in Lone Tree RTD closes lanes on RidgeGate Parkway By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Construction on RidgeGate Parkway began Sept. 1, restricting traffic to outer right lanes 24 hours a day as the building of a light rail bridge to a new station at the southeast corner of RidgeGate Parkway and I-25 in Lone Tree gets underway. The bridge is part of the Southeast Rail Extension Project, connecting a 2.3-mile stretch be-
tween Lincoln Station — north of Lincoln Avenue and I-25 — and RidgeGate. Left lane restrictions will be in place seven days a week between Havana Street and the northbound ramps for I-25. Far right lanes will remain open throughout the project’s duration. In an email, Marta Sipeki, spokesperson for RTD’s FasTracks program, said the expanded system will give commuters an alternative to sitting in traffic jams on I-25. “Riders will have increased accessibility, improved mobility and connectivity,” she said.
“People from throughout the metro area will have an option to travel to the employment centers in the RidgeGate area via light rail.” The expansion project includes the construction of two other stations — a Kiss-n-Ride at Sky Ridge Avenue near Sky Ridge Medical Center and a station at the future Lone Tree City Center east of I-25 — in addition to the 1,300-space Park-n-Ride at RidgeGate Parkway. “All three stations will be within walking distance of more than 500 acres of new mixedused, commercial and residen-
tial development,” Sipeki said. The extension will include a 620-foot-long bridge over Lincoln Avenue, a 1,397-foot-long bridge over I-25 and a 506-footlong bridge over RidgeGate Parkway. Construction costs are estimated at $233.1 million. Of that amount, the city of Lone Tree, Douglas County, Coventry Development Corp. and the Southeast Public Improvement District will provide $25 million in cash and an estimated $3 million in right-of-way and land permits. The Federal Transit Admin-
istration provided a $92 million capital investment grant for the project and RTD’s investment is $71 million. Remaining costs will be covered by $7.5 million in federal funds from the Denver Regional Council of Governments. Construction and lane closures on RidgeGate Parkway are expected to continue until November. The entire expansion project is slated for completion in 2019. Projections are that 4,800 commuters will be on board by 2020, with 6,600 passengers using the new lines by 2035.

Mall
Continued from Page 1
That isn’t the case anymore: The shopping center, one of the state’s most popular tourist destinations, has shaped what Lone Tree is today, city leaders say. Park Meadows, which bills itself as a “retail resort” lifestyle center rather than a shopping mall, opened its doors on Aug. 30, 1996. Twenty years later, it has proved to be Lone Tree’s economic and community engine, largely responsible for spurring development of the city, both commercial and residential. Within its first year, Park Meadows opened 37 stores and restaurants new to the Denver metro area. It was home to more than $1 million in artwork commissioned from Colorado artists and boasted 66-foot-tall fireplaces, woodbeamed ceilings and comfy leather seating throughout its mountain-themed, elegantly-appointed two floors. The area surrounding Park Meadows became the focal point of business and discussion in the city, which had incorporated only a year before the mall’s opening with about million – 3,000 resisquare feet of space dents. occupied by Park Today, Lone Meadows Tree is a city of more than million— visits 13,000 people to Park Meadows expected to each year grow to 31,000 residents by – visits to 2035. MeanPark Meadows each while, Park day Meadows has grown to more – than 200 stores number of visitors and restauto Park Meadows on rants. Last the Saturday before year, it brought Christmas in nearly $11 million in sales Source: Park tax revenue for Meadows the city. That accounted for 47 percent of Lone Tree’s total sales tax haul. “People are always asking me about Park Meadows or telling me they were in Lone Tree at this store or that store or they had dinner somewhere near Park Meadows,” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said. “It’s really a gathering place for the community.” And without the benefit of the mall’s tax base, Lone Tree would be a totally different city, Van Ramhorst said. “It’s made Lone Tree what Lone Tree is today,” Van Ramshorst said. “It’s hard to understand why anyone could have opposed that.”

Engine for the business community Lone Tree was a small community of roughly a square mile when it was incorporated in 1995. Over the years, the city annexed surrounding property — including the mall in January 2007 — so that today the community covers 9.6 square miles, stretching from County Line Road in the north past RidgeGate Parkway

BRINGING IN SALES TAX Park Meadows gets 150,000 visitors on the Saturday before Christmas, its busiest day of the year. Photo by MossPhotography.biz nearly to Castle Pines in the south. The mall — which draws people from across Colorado as well as tourists visiting the metro area — created exposure Lone Tree didn’t previously have. “For a lot of folks, Park Meadows put Lone Tree on the map,” Millet said. “Our popularity in the early years was linked to the mall.” The partnership proved mutually beneficial. “It was the first major commercial development in the city of Lone Tree,” said city Economic Development Director Jeff Howell. Park Meadows now accounts for 1.5 million square feet of the city’s 3.6 million square feet of retail space and is the city’s largest source of sales tax revenue. “It has been a draw for investment in the area,” Howell said. “People appreciate it and proximity to Park Meadows is important for local businesses.” Lasinda Cranelli and her husband, Jim, own Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant at 10047 Park Meadows Drive, about two miles from the mall. She estimates that five or six of every 10 people who eat at their restaurant are in the area because they were shopping at Park Meadows. “It brings people in — not just for us, but for all of the shops and restaurants in the area,” Cranelli said. “With its location off of I-25, people come from all over.” A recent survey by Visit Denver, a nonprofit group that markets the metro area, found Park Meadows to be one of the state’s top tourist destinations, ranking it eighth, a spot behind Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. “I come all the time to shop,” said Elizabeth Small of Denver, at Park Meadows on a recent day. “My friends and I come and have lunch almost every week. It’s a fun place to come hang out.” Friend Arielle Hornsby of Highlands Ranch agreed. The mall, she said, is the best place to shop locally because of its large selection. “They have all of my favorite places — you can find pretty much anything you’re looking for.” But Park Meadows’ economic impact also extends beyond the immediate shopping area, business leaders say.
Bob Golden, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, points to the growth of the RidgeGate residential area in Lone Tree — about 3 1/2 miles from the mall along I-25 — and the surrounding areas near Parker as examples of the continued draw to the region. “Park Meadows was a magnet for business and growth 20 years ago,” Golden said, “and it still is today.” Evolving with the times Park Meadows opened with a commitment to be “experiential” and “experimental,” Schenck-Kelly said. “You might want a new shirt, but it’s unlikely that you need a new shirt,” she said. “Under those circumstances, the experience of shopping and having the kind of merchandise that people want has become more important than it even was 20 years ago.” The key to Park Meadows’ success over the years has been anticipating trends and reacting to them quickly, Schenck-Kelly said. “Twenty years ago, when we opened, if you could react to something in a 12- to 18-month period with what was happening on a trend, that was good. You would be able to ride that wave,” she said. “Ten years later, you needed to react in a six- to 12-month period. Five years after that, you had three months. Now, I swear we don’t even have three weeks.” When looking for new retailers, a certain amount of risk is involved. “Tesla, that was a risk,” Schenck-Kelly said. “ I can’t tell you how many people thought we were crazy for putting an electric car store in the shopping center. People would say to me: ‘How’s that going to work?’ ” Tesla was one of several new retailers to open in the past few years. Other recent additions include Lolli and Pops, an old-fashioned candy store, the outdoor clothing and equipment retailer L.L. Bean, and Wrangler, which sells jeans and Western wear. An Amazon store, which will sell its own tablets and reading devices, will open at Park Meadows in September.

Source: City of Lone Tree The future Continuing to evolve with the times will be key to Park Meadows’ success in the future, said Schenck-Kelly, who envisions Park Meadows also being a place where people can find things they simply can’t buy online. “People need technology. They need the things to make their lives better, but I also think you are going to see nostalgia,” she said. “You’re going to see those things that people long for.” Fitness and health are also becoming increasingly popular, she said. “If I were going to predict anything, I would say that health, wellness and fitness will be an integral part of its own mall category,” Schenck-Kelly said. “It will be more than just a yoga pant. It will be things that come out of that type of lifestyle. You may have health coaching. People are going to be as passionate about their internal health as they are about their external appearance.” But regardless of how Park Meadows keeps people coming through its doors, city and community leaders say it will continue to be a major player in the growth and maturity of the city. “I see Park Meadows increasing in its value to the business and residential community in the years to come,” said Mary Martin, president of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “Its location could not be more ideal, with easy access off 470 and a wide variety of businesses and restaurants to enjoy. “It is,” she said, “a true destination, both for residents and for tourists.”

Chris Daniels and the Kings to play in free show at ACC Waring Theatre will welcome musician who taught at school
Band leader Chris Daniels, front, will bring his Chris Daniels and the Kings to Arapahoe Community College, where he taught in the past. The concert will be on Sept. 15. Courtesy photo
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The unique sound of Chris Daniels and the Kings will fill the Waring Theatre at Arapahoe Community College with rock and R&B music on Sept. 15 in a free concert at 7:30 p.m. A 7 p.m. “meet the artist” reception will welcome Daniels back to ACC, where he taught for seven years (business of music, guitar, banjo, music theory). He still serves the college as chair of the Music Audio Technology program, according to program coordinator Dr. Chuck Haarhues, who says he arrived at ACC during the last year Daniels taught there. Daniels said Haarhues has been the driving force in developing a recording program that is “best in the community college system.” It had just started when Daniels was there. “Chuck is light-years ahead of the 2006 ACC.” Daniels talked about his band’s new recording, “Funky to the Bone,” released in March. There are seven band members now, he said, including vocalist/ guitar player Freddi Henchi, who played with Freddi-Henchi and the Soul Setters in Arizona and then Colorado. “We met and he has appeared with the Kings for a couple years, and plays on the new album,” Daniels said. Much of the music on the program will come from the recording. (LPs will be on sale — many young people prefer them, he finds.) Daniels is now an assistant professor at CU-Denver where he teaches three classes on the music business, about 120 students. Although the band has made 21 trips to Europe, they didn’t go this summer because they were invited to play the City of Denver’s big July 3 concert at the Civic Center. They don’t travel so much in the winter. “We have a couple teachers and others with straight jobs, but we will have done 70 shows this year,” Daniels said. He writes new music “on better days” and says, at 63, he’s feeling well. In 2010, he was hospitalized with nearfatal leukemia. “I’m alive because of a
bone marrow transplant from my sister,” he said. “It’s an easy way to save a life.” He hopes concert audience members will get registered in the bone marrow registry.

The right way to do a ‘to-do’ list As I attended a training session and workshop around accountability and goal setting last week, the facilitator took the class through a few very interesting exercises. And as many times as I have either attended such workshops in the past or have even taught or coached on the topic, I realized that I was either not doing the behaviors that had brought me success in the past, or I had stopped doing them for some reason. Now my “to-do” list is not the issue. I still write down my “To-Do” list the night before or early in the morning before my day gets started. But there were a few problems that became very apparent as I realized where I started cutting corners. The first problem was that I stopped writing down the “why” next to each item on my “to-do” list. Understanding the “why” is so important in helping to prioritize what really needs to get done. As I sat in the class and flipped back through my notebook at my “to-do” lists from the past month or so, I realized that my lists just kept getting longer and longer with no and I was just muscling my way through what needed to get done. Some days I had more than 30 items on the
list, and only got to 10 or 15 things. Now part of me says that I should feel a sense of accomplishment for getting those 10 to 15 things done, but on the other hand there were 15 to 20 things that I didn’t get done. The second problem was that I stopped atMichael Norton taching the items on my WINNING “to-do” list to my personal and professional WORDS goals. The “why” helps in addressing that, but the more specific that we can be when we set our goals, take daily action toward the achievement of those goals, and then have the discipline and commitment to actually do what needs to get done, the more meaningful our “to-do” list becomes. And the result is that we move closer to reaching our goals. The third problem, and maybe the biggest problem. was that I realized I stopped delegat-
ing where I could. I stopped listing the names of people who could help me or who I could ask to take over a project or opportunity. I developed a mentality that I would load up my list and I will conquer everything on my own. Maybe you are a list maker too, maybe not. If you are, I would encourage you to remember to write down the “why” next to each item on your list; take a less-is-more approach and focus on the most important items; attach the item on your “to-do” list to a specific goal, whether that goal is a near term goal or long term goal; and lastly, write down who you may be able to ask for help or delegate a task to. How about you? Are you making lists for the sake of making lists? Do you have a very concise list that is tied to your goals and dreams? Either way I would love to hear all about how you organize your “to-do” lists at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can learn to manage what we do with our “to-do” lists, it really will be a better than good week.

tion: “...Fishing is about moral values and decency…It’s part of the fabric of our society… There’s nothing much immoral that’s going to happen when you’re trying to catch a fish. It’s legal, it’s honorable, and it’s fun…Trying to catch a fish teaches youngsters the value of working toward a goal, that sometimes doesn’t go our way, that’s how life works … Anglers are pretty good people … people of decent respectable values that can constructively teach young people by showing them … What better way is there to show a young boy or girl how to enjoy a good, valued day in nature’s environment safe from drugs, crime, being harmful to others or tempted mischief.” It seems very clear, while most likely coincidental, CASA (the Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Adams & Broomfield Counties and Bassmasters have a similar mission, a similar perspective. The CASA volunteers carry a significant mantle for young children who have suffered from abuse and neglect. This nonprofit group of judicial, legal and community leaders support and stand strong with young children as they move through the judicial and legal system of care and protection. CASA recruits and professionally trains volunteer advocates, who are assigned by court judges to be a voice for CASA children. Lindsay Lierman, executive director of CASA serving the 17th Judicial District in Adams and Broomfield Counties, and program director Vickie Ricord highlighted specific programs and outcomes as examples of the Hellbusch continues on Page 11

Low-maintenance name just does its job Over breakfast coffee, a friend asked me, “Bessie Smith, Kate Smith or Patti Smith?” I said, “Is it a slow news day?” It’s never a slow news day anymore, now that current events travel in a heartbeat. It’s never slow enough to write a column about the most common last name in the United States. Or is it? I don’t think you look here for the news. Maybe to be removed from the news for a few minutes. Jennifer asked me if I ever regretted having a one-syllable name, which I thought was a brilliant question. We were having a conversation about regrets. My biggest one is a complete disconnection from music, other than listening to it. Hers is something that will remain between us. I said that I had sometimes wished my last name were something other than Smith. It is easy to pronounce and it is easy to spell. It is the most common last name in the United States, and ahead of second place Brown by over half a million. Everyone knows at least one Smith. On the other hand, I’m not sure there is a single Smith in the Middle East. Sure, I have thought about a more distinctive name.
I know a number of people who have changed their names. And if a woman marries, she can go from a Pfaltzgraff to a less unmanageable name just by saying “I do.” I have named a number of of pets Craig Marshall Smith and paintings, but no one asked me QUIET I wanted for DESPERATION what a last name. Or what I wanted for a first name. I only have four syllables in my entire name. Some of us get nicknames. Nicknames slid off of me. All but one - Smitty - which I passed on to my dog. It fits him more than it fits me. There are, of course, pages of famous Smiths, like Bessie, Kate and Patti. Kate has been mostly forgotten, even though she once had her own television program. Katharine Hepburn married a man named Smith, but refused to have her name Smith continues on Page 11

‘Songs and Stories’ Christian concert set Steven Curtis Chapman and friends will play Sept. 23 By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Award-winning Christian singer and songwriter Steve Curtis Chapman will be joined by friends Mac Powell and Brandon Heath for a program called “Songs and Stories” when they visit south metro Denver later this month. “This will be a little different than the traditional concert,” Chapman said in a Sept. 1 phone interview. “The three of us will be on stage together. We will sing and play together. But we will also take time to talk about the stories that inspired the songs as well as inspirational stories about how a song has touched lives.” The three artists will perform at 7 p.m. Sept. 23 at Denver First Church of the Nazarene, 3800 E. Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village. General admission tickets are $30 and VIP tickets are $75. For concert or ticket information call the church at 303-761-8370. Chapman, 53, grew up with music. “My dad was a guitar teacher, so playing, singing and listening to music has always been my passion,” he said. “I loved sports but my asthma severely limited any involvement in athletics. So, I focused my passion, hobby and love on music.” He began singing in church and his dad played the guitar and the family sang together in services in his native Kentucky. He said his focus from an early age is writing songs about his faith and his relationship with God. “Dad urged me to go to college and train to get a real job because he knew how tough it was to make a living as a musician,” Chapman said. “I tried to follow his advice and enrolled to study pre-med. I found that wasn’t for me. Since I had some good contacts in the music industry from working a summer at Opryland in Nashville, I left college in the

importance of child advocacy by the CASA volunteers. “Ninety percent of children ages 3-5 in foster care with a CASA volunteer in Adams and Broomfield Counties are enrolled in early childhood education, compared to 46 percent in foster care nationwide,” Lierman pointed out. And “99 percent of children in foster care with a CASA foster home in the 17th Judicial District graduate high school by age 18, compared to 27.5 percent across Colorado,” Ricord noted. CASA balances the guidance by the volunteer advocates and the challenge children deal with through the courts with seeking the elements of a normal kid’s life. Development director Ken Parks indicated the board of directors and staff develops a wide variety of activities in which the children and foster parents can take part. “For example,” Parks noted, “children can enjoy seasonal events, such as the upcoming fall festival and holiday party. In addition CASA volunteer advocates often

changed to Kate Smith. I don’t have a favorite Smith, other than my father. A Smith captained the Titanic, and a Smith was one of Charlie’s “Angels.” The name doesn’t conjure anything like Picasso does. Or Da Vinci.

1980s and moved to Nashville to pursue my musical career.” He started his musical career focusing on writing Christian songs. He said one of his great early thrills was when Glen Campbell, a musical hero of his, recorded one of the songs he had written. The talented musician said there is no single answer to how he writes a song. “Sometimes I get a lyric idea in my head, make sure I record it on my phone and start from there,” he said. “The same is true of the music. Sometime I hum or sing a short part of the music and record it on the phone at once.” He said once an idea for the lyrics and music of a song is there, the real work begins. “When everything flows, I sometimes write a song in a few hours,” he said. “However, there are also ideas that didn’t become songs for many years.” Campbell continued his songwriting and singing career and in 1987 recorded his first album. In a career spanning almost 30 years, Campbell has recorded more than 20 albums and has won more awards for songs he has written and songs he has recorded than any other Christian music artist. “I have performed in concerts around the country and around the world,” he said. “I have loved all of them but I really love the songs and stories like we are doing on this tour. We did a song and stories tour three years ago. The audience seems to like it and I loved it, so we are doing the same format again, and my hope is the music and the stories touch the hearts of those who are there with us.” Chapman was married in 1984. He and his wife Mary Beth have three sons, plus they adopted three girls from China. Adoption has been a focus for the Chapmans and they joined forces to write three books on the topic. They also share their faith in other ways, including building a medical center named Maria’s Big House of Hope in China.
enjoy outings together with their CASA children, a walk in the park, and a visit to an ice cream shop, or working together on homework.” Such was the day of fun for the kids last June 10 when the CASA team hosted a “Fishing Day” at Ketner Reservoir in Westminster’s Kensington Park. Local businesses showed their support. Cabela’s donated fishing rods and reels and Walmart supplied the food. Westminster’s park staff, police and fire personnel spent time fishing and conversing with the kids. CASA staff provided a tasty barbecue and this columnist had the privilege of coordinating the event. Professionally trained CASA volunteer advocates represent more than 500 children annually in the two counties, and the organization looks to provide advocates for an additional 600 children who deserve support, encouragement, a normal life and someone close who cares. A call to CASA at 303-654-3378 could open a door and your heart to that good feeling of sharing, a sense of making a difference in a child’s life and, possibly, an extraordinary day fishing with a new young friend.

scholar could go back for generations, and name names. I am, however, very grateful that my name is not beyond the grasp of pronunciation or spelling. When I was younger and a complete introvert, having a name like Schimmelpfennig would have done me in. I know someone named Schimmelpfennig. It’s the near opposite of Smith. One site says that it is the 5,523,051st most common name in the world. A rose by any other name, though, right? Not really.

Since she opened Gluten Escape in 2012, Letson has seen her business grow as demand for gluten-free foods has increased. Though her success might seem to be the result of savvy marketing and good timing, her reasons for starting the shop were personal. “I come into this with a mother’s heart,” she said.

WHY GET RID OF GLUTEN? Reasons for going glutenfree vary, and the science is still out on some of the health effects of eating gluten. The medical community has established a clear cause between gluten and celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, also known as gluten intolerance. Anecdotal evidence makes the case that a gluten-free diet can alleviate many symptoms. Highlands Ranch nutritionist Denise DeRosier says many of her clients tell her they have improved energy levels, reduced joint pain and see better behavior in their children after going gluten-free. She also said that for people dealing with the inflammation of multiple sclerosis or digestive problems associated with chemotherapy, “gluten is just adding fuel to the fire.” Angela Baird of Parker is another certified nutritionist who lists numerous health benefits from eliminating gluten. She says she’s had clients suffering from depression, fatigue, skin rashes, migraines, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and other symptoms who have all seen their issues disappear after removing gluten. Baird says she has had “one or two (clients) out of the few hundred” she’s seen who didn’t report improvement, but she’s quick to point out she isn’t certain that they completely eliminated the substance from their diet. “I always tell people to give it two weeks of your life and just see if you feel better,” she says. “Everyone can do something for two weeks.” — Tom Skelley

Gluten Continued from Page 12
Though it may be a healthier choice for some to eat gluten-free meals, DeRosier said she doesn’t advertise her cooking as gluten-free when she entertains. “I don’t say ‘Come over for this glutenfree meal’ because the expectation is that it’s going to taste awful,” she said. “After dinner, I’ll say ‘By the way, it also happens to be gluten-free.’ “ Adapting your taste Chris Lehn owns Yumbana Shoppe in Castle Rock. After he, his wife and sons tested positive for gluten sensitivity, they quickly became dissatisfied with glutenfree fare in grocery stores. Lehn took matters into his own hands. “Unfortunately, as a gluten-free person you find yourself adapting your taste to what’s available instead of the other way around,” Lehn said. “Our goal was to make a product that is as good or better as you remember as a non-gluten-free person.” Focusing on wholesale and online shoppers, Yumbana Shoppe has made a name for itself producing a variety of pies, cakes and cookies, not to mention the “yummy banana” bread that helped Lehn arrive at the company’s name. Yumbana products are on King Soopers shelves and Lehn said he is “knocking on the door” of Safeway and other grocery stores. Being in large-scale distribution keeps Lehn from meeting many customers, Lehn said. But feedback at the recent Taste of Douglas County and Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food Fair in Denver has been “very, very positive.” “We literally saw hundreds of people come by, and we could hear some of them whispering about us before they got to the booth,” he said. “It was really encouraging.” He added that many parents thank him for offering treats their children otherwise wouldn’t be able to enjoy, like birthday cake and snacks for school. From behind the counter of her brickand-mortar bakery, Letson said she’s heard the same comments from parents and other customers. Gluten Escape makes a variety of baked goods, from pastries to pizza dough to pretzels, and Letson said she often makes special recipes based on customer suggestions written on an “idea board” in the shop. “We’re not here to push a product on anyone,” she said. “We’re here to try to give people what they want.” Customer loyalty is a point of pride with Letson. She said she received 80 to 100 calls a day when the store experienced a recent hiatus as it transitioned from its old location in the Denver Tech Center to the Centennial store. Letson was surprised, she said, when customers drove through blizzard conditions to receive free balls of pizza dough and pumpkin pies before the reopening. She couldn’t sell the items at the time without a health department license, so she asked her erstwhile customers to donate as they saw fit to the St. Francis Center in Denver instead. Her customer retention since reopening in December has been over 80 percent, Letson said. “When someone can go to Walmart

and get gluten-free products,” she said, “that says a lot.” Not ‘just a phase’ Like most trends, the popularity of the gluten-free diet has attracted criticism, and detractors wonder if the gluten-free diet is more about money than medicine. Dr. Patrice Michaletz-Onody, a gastroenterologist with Rocky Mountain Gastroenterology, said unless a patient has celiac disease or NCGS, there are no proven benefits to eliminating gluten from their diet. “People have gone crazy saying you’ll be cured of everything if you go off gluten,” she said. “The only thing you’ll cure for certain is celiac.” That said, she added there are no nutritional benefits to eating gluten, either. “If people come in and they’re doing something that improves their symptoms — they’re pretty happy, they’re improving their quality of life — there’s no reason to put it back in their diet,” Michaletz-Onody said. “There’s nothing beneficial from it.” One aspect of the gluten-free diet that isn’t in dispute is its cost.

Pour into prepared cake pans and bake 30-35 minutes or until cake is rounded and knife comes out clean. Cake tops may crack as they bake. Cool and frost with your favorite icing, or sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with berries in between the layers.
Consumer Reports released a study in November 2014 that found a vast difference in the cost between gluten-free foods and their counterparts. Examples from the study are Duncan Hines regular brownie mix, which costs about 8 cents per serving, while Betty Crocker’s gluten-free mix costs 28 cents per serving. The per-serving cost of Nabisco’s Multigrain Wheat Thins is 31 cents, but the company’s gluten-free Sea Salt & Pepper Rice Thins are 57 cents per serving. DeRosier said she sometimes meets people who ask whether it’s all just a ploy to sell trendy, expensive food products. “I do have people who will come up to me at parties and ask if it’s all just a big marketing scam,” DeRosier said. “That’s when I try to explain to people that it isn’t just a phase.” Lehn said he has some of the same conversations but isn’t worried it will affect his client base. “What some folks don’t understand is that this isn’t a fad, it’s a diet,” he said, adding that even people like athletes and those without health requirements are trying to remove gluten from their diets.
THE GOODS ON GLUTEN The Celiac Disease Foundation defines gluten as “a general name for the proteins found in wheat (wheatberries, durum, emmer, semolina, spelt, farina, farro, graham, KAMUT khorasan wheat and einkorn), rye, barley and triticale… that helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food together.” Gluten can be found in many types of foods, even ones that would not be expected. The Big Four The four most common grains containing gluten are: Wheat — commonly found in breads, baked goods, pastas, soups, cereals, sauces and salad dressing Barley — commonly found in beers, malt, soups and food coloring Rye — commonly found in cereals, breads and rye beer Triticale — Triticale is a new grain on the market, increasingly popular because it contains the qualities of wheat while being tolerant to different growing conditions. It is commonly found in breads, pastas and cereals. Oats — While oats don’t contain gluten and add nutrients to an otherwise gluten-free diet, consumers avoiding gluten should be careful to look for oats labeled gluten-free. Crosscontamination often occurs when oats are grown or processed near wheat, barley or rye.
“When you start adding up all of these groups, you’re talking about a large section of people,” he said. “We get a new customer diagnosed every day.”
Heather Brammer measures out a scoop of something good in the Yumbana Shoppe kitchen at the Douglas County Events Center in Castle Rock. Brammer says she and her daughter, who both have celiac disease, were among Yumbana’s first taste testers.

Arapahoe wins football opener Warriors edge Jaguars 10-5 in season debut
1 before a large number of Warriors fans cheering them on at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Key moments The Warriors trailed 5-0 at the end of the first quarter but took the lead for good with 3:45 left in the second period when quarterback Connor Desch completed a short pass to Jack Groth for a touchdown. Nick Rapue kicked the extra point and later added to the Warrior advantage by kicking a field goal.
The football game resembled a boxing slugfest as solid defense by Arapahoe and Rock Canyon slowed their opponents’ offense. The Warriors eventually prevailed with the only touchdown of the game and a field goal to post a 10-5 win on Sept.
KEEPING SCORE WITH... TAYLOR SCHLEY m Senior poms/dance tea member at Mountain Vista High School
What is your favorite pre-competition meal? My favorite meal to eat before I compete is pasta with Alfredo sauce and bread. This is because I love to load up on carbs the night before a big competition. Why do your participate in sports? It gets me involved in the school while meeting new people. It also keeps me healthy and active through the entire school year. What is your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist? I really like a little bit of all genres of music so it’s hard to pick just one type that is my favorite. My favorite artist is also very hard
to decide from, but it ranges anywhere between Chance the Rapper, ODESZA and all the way to Brett Eldridge. What is your favorite subject in school? Math is probably my favorite subject because there is always a specific and correct answer that you are trying to find and a certain way to find the answer. I like having a problem and knowing the specific way to find it, knowing that my answer is correct. What is your favorite video game? If “Just Dance” for the Xbox 360 counts as a video game then it’s for sure my favorite one. I love this one because coming from a family of competitive dancers, it’s always fun to get competitive and see who the best dancer in the family really is. “Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.
Defense dominated play, and both teams suffered from a host of penalty calls as yellow flags littered the field a lot throughout the game. Arapahoe Coach Mike Campbell said it wasn’t a pretty performance, but the Warriors will take the win. “We are basically a young team with a lot of new kids out there tonight,” he said. “The kids are learning and I think some of them had firstgame jitters. We also lost a couple Warriors continues on Page 24
Ali Kilponen, softball, junior, Valor Christian: She struck out 18 of the 25 batters she faced and allowed two hits in a 7-0 win over defending Class 5A champion Mountain Range on Aug. 27. Kilponen struck out 13 batters in a five-inning no-hitter against Chatfield on Aug. 31. She has 70 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched and owns five wins for the defending Class 4A state champions. Sylar Lane, volleyball, senior, Rock Canyon: She had 25 assists and five digs in a 3-0 win over Cherokee Trail on Aug. 30. Zoe Mihalicz, softball, senior, Legend: Mihalicz collected two hits and had five runs batted in during the Titans’ come-from-behind win over Arvada West on Aug. 27. Jake Groth, football, junior, Arapahoe: Groth caught seven of the nine passes that were completed by the Warriors and finished with 113 receiving yards and a touchdown in Arapahoe’s 10-5 win over Rock Canyon on Sept. 1. Alex Fredrich, soccer, senior, SkyView Academy: The Hawks opened the season with a 3-2 win on Aug. 29 over Eagle Ridge Academy. Fredrich scored all three goals for SkyView Academy in the victory. Colorado Community Media selects five athletes from high schools in the south metro area each week as “Standout Performers.” Preference is given to athletes making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Gary Mares and Jim Dollaghan are friends who happen to be rival girls softball coaches. Mares is head coach at Horizon and Dollaghan heads up the ThunderRidge program. The teams usually only meet once a year since the schools play in different leagues. Mares and Dollaghan have been competing against each other for many years, but remain best friends. The rivalry Jim Benton started in Little OVERTIME League baseball and continued in high school when Mares played at Thornton and Dollaghan for Northglenn. “We played at rival high schools,” Dollaghan said. “We had a play at the plate in high school where I could have bowled him over but I just started laughing and he just tagged me. It’s been one of those nice friendships that you enjoy as a coach.” The two buddies stood at each other’s weddings and went into coaching after they finished college. “We said whoever got a job first, we would go help each other,” Mares explained. Dollaghan coached baseball at Green Mountain and Mares was his assistant for three seasons. Then Mares got the head baseball job at Legacy and Dollaghan was his assistant for two seasons. Now both are softball coaches and look forward to HorizonThunderRidge games. Dollaghan, who also helps coach baseball, is in his sixth year as the Grizzlies’ head softball coach and Mares has been at Horizon since 2011 and is coaching softball for the fifth season. “This makes us get together because he lives way down south and I’m north,” Mares said. “So we get to see each other then and I help him with camps and he helps with camps for me. He’s a good as it gets and not just with baseball and softball knowledge. He’s a good human being and does a good job with the team.” Dollaghan knows he has to be focused whenever ThunderRidge is matched against Horizon. “I don’t care what kind of rivalry you have or how bad you want to win, he’s one of my dear friends,” Dollgahan said. “I’m going to do everything I can to beat him because I’ll tell you, he’ll outcoach me. He’s a great coach and I really have to be on my toes to compete with him mentally, because mentally he just smokes me.” Warriors target pediatric cancer All Arapahoe soccer players will be wearing gold shoelaces for their final game of the annual Warrior Invitational Tournament Sept. 9 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium as part of Lace Up for Pediatric Cancer. Each player will donate $5 of their purchased laces as a show of unity against pediatric cancer. Money from the laces and 100 percent of other donations received at the games will go to local kids with cancer and their families. Arapahoe parents will have donation boxes at the stadium on Sept. 9 which is the final day of the threeday, six-team tournament. Benton continues on Page 24

Gymnastics season takes flight for local teams Heritage, Cherry Creek girls open season, with varying degrees of depth, experience By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage coach Megan Kling said this is sort of a rebuilding season for the gymnastics team. “Three of the 11 girls on our team are upperclassmen,” she said. “The other eight are new to the team, but all the newcomers do have at least a little bit of gymnastics background. But all the girls are working and training hard.” The Eagles are a composite team made up of athletes from Littleton Public Schools high schools. Heritage has no home meets and the only practices at the home school are floor exercises. The team’s gymnasts travel to Overland High School in Aurora to use the school’s facilities for full practices. The Eagles opened the season Aug. 31 in a triangular meet at Cherry Creek High School. A good-size crowd of supporters watched as Cherry Creek, Heritage and the composite team made up of Pine Creek and Rampart competed. There was competition in four events, uneven parallel bars, vault, balance beam and floor exercise. “Our girls competed hard,” Kling said. “The success of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team at the Olympics has generated a lot of interest in the sport, particularly among younger girls. But I think it has also brought some additional members to many of the high school teams.” She said the Eagles’ strongest event is floor exercise. The coach said most girls find floor exercise fun, plus most gymnasts like to dance. Eagles gymnast Kayla Smith, a senior, said she wasn’t very good when she started the sport. “I have been involved with gymnastics
Heritage High School’s Kayla Smith moves through her floor-exercise routine during the three-team Aug. 31 meet at Cherry Creek High School. Heritage is a young team with 11 gymnasts on the roster. Photo by Tom Munds almost all my life,” she said. “My best friend was a good gymnast, so I thought it would be fun to try the sport. I worked very hard to get better, I finally made the team and I have been competing with my club team for seven years now.” She said floor exercise was definitely her favorite event. “Floor exercise is a lot of fun,” she said. “I like the tumbling and the jumps, but I like floor exercise most of all because I like to dance.” Smith said she watched as much of the U.S. women’s team’s competition as possible. “I loved watching them compete and they really inspire me,” she said. “It helped me work harder in practice to be
more like them.” Meanwhile, Cherry Creek enters the season with high expectations, but also some youth. Coach January Stewart said the Aug. 31 meet allowed all 30 members of her team to take part in the competition. “This meet is important because while we have some returning veterans, 18 of the girls are freshmen,” she said. “But all the girls on the team have gymnastics training and just about all of them compete regularly with a club team. I feel we will be a strong team and very competitive.” She said her team’s strongest event probably is vault. She said all the girls have good fundamental skills and ex-
ecute the techniques well. Bruins senior Mackenzie Doerr said she has been in gymnastics for about 11 years. “I think my parents enrolled me in gymnastics classes when I was a little kid to help me use up all my energy. I really enjoyed the sport and I have stuck with it,” she said. “For me, the most is competing, particularly with my high school teammates. It is so cool.” She said this senior season may be the final season of gymnastics for her so she wants to compete hard and enjoy the time with her teammates. “My favorite event is vault,” she said. “I enjoy the challenge and I guess I like it because I like to get up and fly.”
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 5, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) As tensions ease on the home front, you can once more focus on changes in the workplace. Early difficulties are soon worked out. Stability returns as adjustments are made. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new romance tests the unattached Bovine’s patience to the limit. But Venus still rules the Taurean heart, so expect to find yourself trying hard to make this relationship work. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to consider home-related purchases. But shop around carefully for the best price -- whether it’s a new house for the family or a new hose for the garden. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A contentious family member seems intent on creating problems. Best advice: Avoid stepping in until you know more about the origins of this domestic disagreement. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A recent job-related move proves far more successful than you could have imagined. Look for continued beneficial fallout. Even your critics have something nice to say. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Ease up and stop driving yourself to finish that project on a deadline that is no longer realistic. Your superiors will be open to requests for an extension. Ask for it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You should soon be hearing some positive feedback on that recent business move. An old family problem recurs, but this time you’ll know how to handle it better.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising statements shed light on the problem that caused that once-warm relationship to cool off. Use this newly won knowledge to help turn things around. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your spiritual side is especially strong at this time. Let it guide you into deeper contemplation of aspects about yourself that you’d like to understand better.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your merrier aspect continues to dominate and to attract folks who rarely see this side of you. Some serious new romancing could develop out of all this cheeriness. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re always concerned about the well-being of others. It’s time you put some of that concern into your own health situation, especially where it involves nutrition. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Just when you thought your life had finally stabilized, along comes another change that needs to be addressed. Someone you trust can help you deal with it successfully. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sixth sense when it comes to finding people who need help long before they think of asking for it. And you’re right there to provide it. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Unreadable numbers Valor Christian has developed many well-recognized football players. However, it sure would be nice to be able to identify an Eagles’ offensive or defensive lineman, wide receiver or other players from seats in the stands. I’m not the only observer to complain.
They said it Senior quarterback Desch said it was hard to get an offensive rhythm going against Rock Canyon. “This wasn’t how I wanted to start our season,” he said. “We have a lot of inexperienced players on offense that will just keep getting better. We do have a strong offensive line, which is what we will rely on this year, but tonight we got off to a slow start. But we did better later in the game.” He said he will be working to be sharper and more focused as an individual and a team next week. Going forward Arapahoe takes the field at 7 p.m. Sept. 9 against Heritage in the battle for a silver milk can that is the Brookridge Trophy.
Numbers on the Eagles’ uniforms are unreadable from the stands or press box and many times it’s a guessing game to figure out who caught a pass, made a tackle or ran with the football. The PA announcer usually helps out. On the sidelines or up close, the numbers are legible but not from a distance. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.
