Warriors beat rival to keep can

Arapahoe outscores Heritage in annual Brookridge Trophy game

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The ground shook at Littleton Public Schools Stadium as the red-clad Heritage fans and the Arapahoe fans wearing black jumped up and down cheering for their teams during the Sept. 9 rivalry game. The Warriors won to retain the Brookridge Trophy for another year. The trophy honors history that

includes the Brookridge Dairy that was at one time the largest dairy in the state, and its property stretched over land now occupied by Littleton Public Schools Stadium. The trophy is a silver milk can that was first presented to the winner of the 1972 Arapahoe-Heritage game. Since then, the winner of the Arapahoe-Heritage rivalry game keeps the trophy until the next time the two teams meet. This year, Heritage took the opening kickoff and booted a field goal to take the lead with 7:39 left in the first quarter. But Arapahoe responded in the second quarter with two touchdowns and a field goal for 17 unanswered points,

which held up as the Warriors won, 17-3. “We’ll take the win, particularly against a longtime rival in this very exciting setting,” Warriors coach Mike Campbell said. “We had the two touchdowns and decided to take a chance on a run, but Heritage defender Josh Martin did a great job and stopped us. So we spiked the ball and kicked the field goal.” Arapahoe is 2-0 and Campbell said the team faces a major challenge Sept. 16 as they are on the road against perennial 5A title contender Cherry Creek.

DOGS RULE THE POOL

Districts testing for lead in schools Douglas, Jeffco, Cherry Creek among those looking for evidence of the toxic metal By Ann Schimke Chalkbeat Colorado, chalkbeat.org Colorado’s five largest school districts all have either embarked on or plan to test their schools’ drinking water for lead, taking no chances after the lead-poisoning crisis in Flint, Michigan. While Flint’s problems were caused by local officials’ negligence, the concern in Colorado and most other states involves a different threat — old lead service lines,

Dozens of dogs chased tennis balls around the pool at the Yappy Hour on Sept. 10 at Holly Pool. As the summer draws to a close, Holly Pool in Centennial threw one last party for a different type of swimmer. Dozens of dogs paddled around the pool or chased tennis balls at the “Yappy Hour” on Sept. 10. Formerly called the “Puppy Paddle,” the event gives canines a chance to get in a swim before the South Suburban Parks and Recreation facility is closed for the winter. Jody Fliedner brought her chocolate labradoodle, Casey, to the pool on her break from work. “Casey needed a swim,” she said as he emerged from the pool and shook vigorously.

IN THE CHERRY CREEK DISTRICT The district recently announced plans to test the water at all schools. District spokeswoman Tustin Amole said the testing will start “very soon,” but that an exact timeline hasn’t been determined because some testing labs are backed up with work. About two dozen of the district’s 65 schools were built in 1991 or after. The rest were built before 1987.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Events offer opportunities Littleton Public Schools for people seeking jobs this week Staff report

By Kyle Harding | kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education met on Sept. 8 for the second meeting since the school year began. The board received an update on construction at district schools, approved a resolution in favor of continuing a tax supporting cultural institutions and honored classroom volunteers.

Continuing SCFD

The board signed on unanimously in support of renewing the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, which levies a 0.1 percent sales tax across the seven-county Denver metro area to support cultural facilities. Voters will decide in November whether to renew the district for 12 years. Originally approved in 1988, it was renewed in 1994 and 2004. About 300 organizations throughout the area receive funding from the district. Local recipients include Arapahoe Philharmonic, Littleton Symphony Orchestra, Hudson Gardens and Events Center, Town Hall Arts Center and Carson Nature Center.

September is Workforce Development Month in Colorado so Arapahoe/ Douglas Works, a member of the Colorado Department of Labor, is hosting a series of events for job seekers. The following events are planned. Pre-registration is required and event locations vary: • Employer/ Candidate Mock Interviews, 2-4 p.m. Sept. 20 and 1-4 p.m. Sept. 21 at 6974 S. Lima St., Centennial • Stanley Marketplace Hiring Event, 1-4 p.m. Sept. 24 at 2501 N. Dallas St., Aurora • Career Revolution, 11 a.m. to noon Sept. 28 at 6974 S. Lima St., Centennial

Update on bond projects

The citizen’s committee that oversees the $80 million 2013 LPS bond program gave an update to the board on construction projects that occurred over the summer, noting that all work was completed on schedule. Work was done over the summer at the Options campus, Arapahoe High School, Euclid and Powell middle schools, East, Twain and Field elementary schools and Littleton Preparatory Charter School, as well as Runyon Elementary School, which reopened this year after undergoing renovation during last school year.

Volunteers honored

Superintendent Brian Ewert and the school board thanked those who volunteer their time in classrooms throughout the district at the meeting. “Littleton Public Schools volunteer program makes a significant difference not only to our teachers but most importantly to our kids,” Ewert said. Ewert said senior and parent volunteers donated 184,000 hours last school year and noted that the many retirees who take part in the program can provide an important context on life to students. “We are always astonished at the amount of hours you put in and the commitment and the passion,” said school board President Jack Reutzel.

“Creek is a good team and it should be a heck of a game,” he said. Key moments Heritage led 3-0 in the second quarter when Arapahoe took over on its own 36-yard-line. The Warriors mounted a well-executed 14-play drive culminated with sophomore quarterback Kevin Lukasiewicz running the ball on a keeper for a touchdown. After the kickoff, Heritage fumbled

and Arapahoe senior quarterback Connor Desch passed to Scott Dement for the touchdown. Near the end of the quarter, Arapahoe drove down and kicked a field goal with seven seconds left on the clock to make the score 17-3. Heritage drove deep into Arapahoe territory in the fourth quarter but the Warriors kept them out of the end zone. Heritage coach Tyler Knoblock said after the game that while the Eagles didn’t win there were a lot of good things that came out of the game against a very good Class 5A team. “They made a run on us in the second quarter but, except for those two touchdowns, we showed we could

play physically for four quarter against a quality opponent,” he said. “No one likes to lose, but I won’t hang my head because our Class 4A team was able to basically stay with a class organization with a coach that knows what he is doing and will be in the 5A title hunt this year.” They said it Arapahoe running back Jeff Ulibarri had a good game and was called on to run the ball a lot, particularly in the second half. “It was a very special night as we played a tough Heritage team that is our rival,” the senior said. “Our line was outstanding, blocked well and made it

possible for all of us who ran the ball to make good yardage for our team. Without those blockers up front, I couldn’t have gained a yard and I thank those guys for all they did. Our defense was also outstanding as they limited a good Heritage team to three points. The win is amazing and we will enjoy celebrating it.” Going forward Both teams return to playing opponents in their classification. The Warriors are on the road at Shea Stadium Sept. 23 against 5A opponent Mountain Vista while Heritage travels to All City Stadium Sept. 24 for a non-league Class 4A game against Denver South.

A few tips for a tech-driven world Tech experts weigh in on teens and internet use

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teenagers are more digitally connected than ever: Three-quarters own or have access to a smartphone, 24 percent go online almost constantly, and 92 percent go online daily, Pew Research Center reports. The digital world is used for a number of activities — from building relationships to accessing schoolwork to online shopping. But it can also be a vulnerable space for teenagers. “You have to think about what information kids have access to,” said Jackie Burhans, managing partner of CMIT Solutions of Denver Tech Center, which specializes in information technology. “They still need to be aware of some of the dangers and risks of using technology.” Burhans and her husband, James Howald, also a managing partner of CMIT Solutions, have extensive experience with internet technology. The duo helps clients recover files, prevent malware and protect servers. They also have a son in high school. “When your dealing with adults, it’s slightly different than when you’re dealing with kids,” Burhans said, “but it’s all about security.” As the school year kicks off, the couple has a few tips for parents and teens immersed in the world of technology. Tips for cyberspace If a hacker gets ahold of an internet user’s credit card number or banking information, it can be reversed and oftentimes resolved, Howald said. That’s not the case with cyberbullying. “The area in technology where I see a lasting, permanent impact on kids is when they get into a cyberbullying situation on social media,” he said. “Unfortunately, there isn’t a straightforward way to fix this.” Burhans and Howald recommend that parents have an open discussion with teens on what social media sites are active. Some are mainstream, such as Facebook and Instagram. But others are new to the digital sphere, such as Whisper, YikYak and Afterschool — three apps that allow anonymous posting. Anonymous apps are positive in that they let users express themselves, but they are often filled with inappropriate content and can encourage bullying, according to Common Sense Media, a website that provides information on media and technology. If a teenager is being bullied in cyberspace, he or she should keep a record of every detail and talk to an adult, said Douglas County Deputy Jason Blanchard. Blanchard, who also does community outreach, said teenagers know social media sites better than any other generation. “I’m not going to say that one is better or worse than the other,” he said. “Every single one needs to be approached with caution because you can’t guarantee anyone’s identity.” Tips for surﬁng the web “Think before you click the link” is a term Burhans uses at work and at home. An internet user should always consider where an online link is redirecting him or her to avoid scams or phishing — fraud that involves stealing personal information by posing as a legitimate company. Anti-malware software adds protec-

tion by blocking spam, viruses and popup pages on a laptop or desktop. The couple also advises teens to be mindful when online shopping. They say stick to nationally known online vendors, such as Amazon. “Teenagers on a budget may find discounted retail on an unknown site,” Burhans said. “They might not receive the product but then someone has their credit card info.” Tips for tech devices Burhans caught herself browsing Amazon when she had other priorities, so she downloaded an extension that prevents access to distracting websites during work hours. An extension is an add-on program that modifies or enhances the Chrome web browser. “I actually learned it from my son,” Burhans said. “It’s handy when I need to focus.” There are several tweaks in the tech world that can benefit users of all ages. StayFocusd is an extension that restricts the amount of time a user spends on certain websites. The f.lux extension changes the computer’s display color to adapt to the time of day. Web Timer is an extension that tracks web activity and presents the data to the user in a pie chart. Thousands of extensions serve different purposes, from parental controls to work productivity to online protection. Common Sense Media recommends that parents explore online tools — such as extensions — with their kids. “Learning how to use technology appropriately and discovering how to make it work for your needs are key to getting the best out of technology — while minimizing risks,” the site says.

Lead

pipes and fittings. Experts say the risk here is relatively low, but applaud the districts for being proactive. In April, the Douglas County School District was the first big Colorado district to begin testing. In June, Jeffco Public Schools launched a districtwide lead-testing campaign that is still in progress. Denver Public Schools

joined the club last week, and Cherry Creek and Aurora are both crafting lead-testing plans to be carried out this school year. So far, results are in for just two districts. In Douglas County, which only tested older schools, no buildings had lead levels above 15 parts per billion, a yardstick used by the Environmental Protection Agency. In Jeffco, which is testing all schools, nearly half have at least one water source with high lead levels so far. In some cases, it is drinking fountains. In others, it’s mop sinks. Colorado parents have no need to worry about a reprise of what happened in Flint. Problems there were caused by a switch in the city’s water source and officials who failed to add required chemicals to prevent lead from leaching into the water. The issue here and in most states isn’t the quality of water as it leaves the water treatment plant and runs through water mains under city streets. Instead, it’s old lead service lines connecting to homes and schools or lead pipes and fittings inside buildings. A 1986 federal law banned lead in plumbing, but many schools and residences still have pipes or fixtures containing the toxic metal. Experts in Colorado say infrastructure here is generally newer and carries less risk of lead poisoning from drinking water than say, pipes on the East Coast. Still, they laud the increased awareness about lead poisoning, which can severely hamper children’s physical and mental development. “It’s good that school districts are thinking about this,” said Mark Anderson, a pediatrician at Denver Health. “In the wake of what’s happened in Flint, they probably don’t have much choice.” School districts aren’t required to test their water for lead unless they’re considered public water systems. That’s the case in some rural districts and on a limited basis in Jeffco, which provides water to six mountain schools. Despite the spate of recent school testing efforts,

Anderson and other doctors say that drinking water isn’t typically the culprit in lead-poisoning cases. The risk from filling a water bottle at school every day “would be extremely low,” he said. Flaking lead paint is more likely to poison kids. Anderson said he’s also seen cases of high lead levels tied to lead-containing jewelry or candy brought in from other countries, stained glass work, shooting ranges and a backyard radiator recycling business. In Jeffco, where lead results have come back high for about 70 schools, parents seem to be taking the news in stride. Heidi Anderson, no relation to Mark Anderson, said she’s glad the district is doing something about it, but isn’t worried about her fourth-grade son’s health. He’s been tested for lead previously during routine doctor check-ups and had normal results, Plus, she said, he and his older sister, now a seventh-grader at a different school, mostly avoided the drinking fountains at Hackberry Hill Elementary anyway. “The water at that school tastes like dirt…so we’ve always made it a point to send them with water,” she said of the Arvada school. “I guess that’s a silver lining to all this.” Kay Slater, who has a kindergartener and sixth-grader at Dutch Creek Elementary in south Jeffco, where two water samples showed elevated lead levels, said many of Jeffco’s buildings are old and desperately need updates. “This is a perfect example of why we need our bond campaign to happen,” she said, referring to the district’s plan to ask voters to approve a $568 million bond and mill levy override proposal, part of which would be used for building improvements. The Denver and Aurora districts also have large bond proposals on the November ballot, with the possibility that some funds will be used to update plumbing.

Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

‘You can put bacon on anything’

By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com Bacon has never been more popular, and combining it with beer and live music is sure to draw a crowd. That’s the formula for the Littleton Rotary Foundation’s Alferd Packer Bacon Party, which took over the parking lot

of Reinke Bros. in downtown Littleton for the fourth year over the weekend. This was the first year the party became a two-day event, on both Friday and Saturday evenings. The proceeds benefit the various causes Rotary supports, such as fighting diseases and providing clean water around the world. “It is amazing,” said Kaitlyn Eckert,

BE A GIRL SCOUT

a sales representative for Clear Creek Provisions who was on at the event giving out samples of Boar’s Head bacon, noting that the cured pork has found itself in a variety of creative recipes in recent years. For example, food trucks at the event

featured bacon chocolate chip cookies, candied bacon and bacon macaroni and cheese. “You can put bacon on anything,” said Rotary member Dave Partheymuller. “Ice cream; you can bake it into cinnamon rolls.”

We are better than that ... aren’t we? Here’s the scenario: You have been invited to a function or party where you know that there will be a few people in attendance who will be cynical, judgmental, opinionated and who will speak condescendingly to everyone they feel is not quite an equal. It is so obvious we almost choose not to attend the party just so we don’t have to be subjected to the torment. But we are better than that. We know there will be more people attending that we do care to see and be with, and we predetermine in our mind that if we become the target of glares and stares or a sarcastic or condescending remark that we have prepared our gracious and powerful response as we take the high road. We do this because we are better than that. Or maybe we are waiting patiently in a line or traffic and we see someone trying to get ahead of us, they are weaving into our lane or trying to cut the line. We watch as others get aggravated and we observe the wrong and rude behavior of the line-cutting perpetrator, but instead of jumping on the road rage bandwagon or shoulder block the person trying to get ahead of us, we slow down and again offer grace as we allow them to get ahead of us. We do this because maybe they have a real reason or emergency to attend to, but more importantly do you know why we do this? Because

we are better than that. Taking the high road is never to be mistaken as being a doormat. I am not advocating weakness — far from it, I am advocating strength. It’s easy for the weak and unconfident to take out their frustrations and insecurities on another person Michael Norton or attempt to take WINNING advantage of a situation or control or manipuWORDS late someone. It takes strength, confidence and grace to take the high road, see through the veil of the phony and fake, and to provide hope and encouragement through the strength of our words and actions. And why do we do this? That’s right, because we are better than that. And the sooner we can help embrace this concept, share this message with our friends and children, the sooner we can maybe make a difference in the world. Maybe that difference is in our own family, our circle of friends, the social circles we travel in, our workplace, our houses of worship, and most importantly

we need to get this message of “being better than that” into the hearts and minds of our children and grandchildren, and maybe, just maybe we can stem the tide of bullying at every level. So are you the person people worry about being in attendance at a wedding or party? Are you the person who maybe considers yourself above the others who will be there and who sits in judgment of others? Were you a bully when you were younger and continue to bully others in your adult life? Is your child one of the bullies at school? Tough questions, I know, but I ask you these questions because if you answered yes, or even feel like you could have answered yes, I have great news for you: You are better than that too. What’s your story? Or what is your opinion? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we provide grace to one another and take the high road, and as we all realize that we are indeed better than that, or we are at least capable of being better than that, this will be a better-than-good week and the start to a better-than-good life. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corp., a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Why we should all care about these disorders In looking over the national calendar, I noticed a plethora of designations for the month of September, like Better Breakfast Month, Self Improvement Month, and International Square Dancing Month, for example. As I’m scrolling down the list for a Linda Newell while, I’m thinking why GUEST am I doing this? But I kept going down into COLUMN that internet rabbit hole, and the more I researched, the more I found, like two of my passionate advocate topics, International Peace Day and Suicide Prevention Month, which I’ve written about before. But the one that caught my eye was the little-known FASD Awareness Month (fetal alcohol spectrum disorders). Why, and why should we all care, not just pregnant or to-be-pregnant moms? Now I’ve done some of this research before because of two FASD bills I sponsored in the Senate in prior sessions, both having failed on party-line votes, oddly. So, in looking back at that, I was reminded of the stark fiscal and human costs for all of us. Prenatal alcohol use is the leading cause of preventable intellectual disabilities and birth defects. It’s time we finally debunk the myth that it’s OK for soon-to-be mothers to drink alcohol during pregnancy. It used to be that even some physicians would say a glass of wine every now and then or in a certain trimester wouldn’t hurt the baby. Research has proven that to be false. The most current guidelines are that there is no safe amount, no safe time, and no safe alcohol. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, as with autism, are a wide range of physical, mental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities that can happen with children born to a mom who drank alcohol during pregnancy. They can also show up as learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children, teens, and adults. Children, families, and taxpayers are being burdened with the human and economic

QUIET DESPERATION

The Grim Reaper is all around us and dancing to a merry tune. Famines and floods disrupt our happy picnics. Radicals and terrorists make our lives miserable. The makers of EpiPens are up to no good. But over there at the paint factory, someone threw a dart at the color wheel and it landed on “Poised

Taupe.” “Poised Taupe” is the 2017 Color of the Year. It’s gray, but “gray” has no poetry or pretension in it, so Sherwin-Williams came up with “Poised Taupe.” In 2012, the Color of the Year was green, but Sherwin-Williams called it “Argyle.” In 2013, it was light green, but they called it “Aloe.” In 2014, “Exclusive Plum.” In 2015, “Coral Reef.”

In 2016, “Alabaster.” Poised Taupe is “what happens when cool gray gets together with brown and has a baby.” Or it’s what happens when I clean my brushes in turpentine. The liquid is kind of a light warm gray. In other words, it’s Poised Taupe. Some people need to be told what color to paint the pantry. Not me. My home is white, with tasteful accents of white, right next to white and more white. I don’t want anything to clash with the dachshund. One woman, Jackie Jordan, made the Color of the Year selections for SherwinWilliams for decades. She retired. I wonder if it is a 9 to 5 job? Would you be influenced in the spring by blues and greens, or in the fall by oranges and yellows? Or could you reach a higher level of sagacity and say “Aloe” to your boss on the due date? Jordan’s successor, Sue Wadden, was asked about her choice for 2017. “Were you nervous?” “I was a little nervous,” Wadden said. “But when it came down to doing the work, Smith continues on Page 11

Time to bring higher standards to amendment process When Coloradans vote this year, they will help determine the economic future of the state through a number of initiatives on the ballot. In short, this is a ballot as varied and potentially impactful as any we’ve ever faced. While the specific issues may be unique to 2016, the process of putting transformative policies of all stripes to a vote of the entire electorate, thereby locking them intractably into the state constitution, is not. Colorado is among a handful of states with an absurdly easy process for altering its state constitution. That’s why the South Metro Denver Chamber has endorsed Amendment 71, coined “Raise the Bar” by the measure’s backers, and why we encourage Colorado voters to pass it. Our constitution deserves to be safeguarded. With more than 150 amendments already housed inside our constitution, Colorado has become a playground for activists from all across the country to parachute in and advance their agenda through the petition process. The reason is the relative ease of

So it was a surprise when CDC said earlier this spring that scenario was flipping and FluMist was failing against certain strains. One theory is that it has to do with a change in the nasal spray’s recipe to incorporate four strains of influenza instead of three. “Having this scientific puzzle really bothers everybody,” said Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. The FluMist recommendation could change for future flu seasons if research-

the choice was simple. All signs pointed so strongly in this direction that choosing wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be.” It’s hard for me to take this seriously. Colors are very important to me, but designating just one, and giving it a silly name, is something that has never occurred to me. Mark Woodman, immediate past president of the Color Marketing Group, said — and I promise that I am not making this up — “It’s a very good evolution of gray. We needed a stable gray to get us centered after the financial crisis in 2008.” The Color Marketing Group comes up with the colors that “you’ll want to wear, drive and decorate with two years from now.” I’m sure there are some well-paid color consultants at CMG, but I think a chicken

costs of prenatal substance exposure. Millions of dollars are spent every year on the effects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders with: • School and employment problems. • Those arrested or involved with the law. (The juvenile justice system often has a high proportion of these affected youths because it adversely affects their problemsolving and decision-making skills.) • Adults unable to live independently. • Children in foster care, failed adoptions, physical and mental health, and substance-abuse treatment By screening children who were prenatally exposed to alcohol at the earliest possible time, an accurate diagnosis can contribute to positive long-term outcomes for children and families. Educating par-

gaining access to our ballot, and the result is a document with nearly six times more amendments than the U.S. Constitution, many of which stand in opposition to each other. We fully support a citizenry’s right Robert Golden to alter its foundational document, GUEST but we also believe in order to do so, a COLUMN higher hurdle than one for mere statutory change should be required. That’s what makes Amendment 71 worthy of passage. So what does Amendment 71 do? Currently, supporters of a constitutional amendment must obtain signatures totaling 5 percent of votes cast in the most recent election for Secretary of State. This requirement would not change. What would change is a provision that

demands 2% be gathered from each of Colorado’s state Senate districts. This matters because it’s possible (and even likely) that activists can gather signatures from densely populated communities along the Front Range. Amendment 71 ensures that citizens from all over the state have a voice in determining what gets included for consideration in the constitution, ensuring if something does make the ballot, all sectors of Colorado are represented. The other main change included in Amendment 71 is the higher threshold for passage. Instead of a mere majority, Amendment 71 requires a 55% passage rate from voters for approval. This ensures only bedrock principles supported by a larger cross-section of our state’s voters alter our most important document. It’s important to note that in our support, the South Metro Denver Chamber does not advocate for diminishing or outright eliminating anyone’s right to propose change in how we’re governed. Far from it. Issues of public concern,

particularly those brought forth in the citizen initiative process, deserve full and vigorous public vetting and debate. Amendment 71 does not affect the process for proposing statutory change, an important distinction in the way it’s written. We support Amendment 71 because we represent hundreds of businesses, and, by extension, thousands of employees. Businesses seek certainty to operate prosperously. And when it’s possible – even easy – to change our most foundational document, you eliminate much of that certainty, which affects a business’s ability to successfully plan long term. It seems only prudent to request that those who wish to foundationally affect all of Colorado obtain signatures from every corner of the state and earn approval from a greater majority of voters. Let’s Raise the Bar, Colorado. For the good of Colorado’s businesses, citizens and our state constitution.

LIFE Cold-blooded critters make good pets, too LOCAL

Turtles are popular starter reptiles, and there are many varieties in size and habitat. Cage sizes and heating requirements vary, and people considering purchasing them should be aware of these requirements. Courtesy photo

But you have to understand what amphibians and reptiles need By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING AN EXOTIC PET

hey may look completely different, but a bearded dragon lizard reminds Dillon Lanigan of a dog. “It’s a pretty amazing bond people form with their reptiles and amphibians,” said Lanigan, manager of the Northglenn Scales ‘N Tails. “Reptiles imprint on you — if you get them young enough — and the affection that can exist is almost doglike.” Although it might surprise those with no experience, people who love exotic pets — like frogs, lizards, snakes and turtles — know these animals can make some of the most engaging pets for people of all ages. “We have several customers who are past 70 years old and have had snakes for years,” Lanigan said. “We have all ages, and all walks of life, who come through our shop.” Because pet shops that specialize in exotic animals aren’t as common as ones who cater to traditional furry friends, stores like Scales ‘N Tails, which also has locations in Lakewood and Englewood, Arvada’s Feeder Frenzy and Parker Exotic Pets become hubs for a culture. On any given Saturday, novices walk into Feeder Frenzy with questions about their first pet as experienced reptile owners pick up their weekly food supply. And then there’s the regular customers who stop by to visit. Perhaps they want to talk about how their pet is doing, see the new arrivals or hear what co-owners Jack Nelson and Dave Meidinger are working on. “We take an old-school approach to our shop, almost like a barbershop,” Meidinger said. “We want to ensure people are comfortable here and not afraid to ask questions.” There are plenty of misconceptions about amphibians and reptiles, and education is one of these shops’ best services to their customers, the owners said. Lanigan, Meidinger and Nelson all have extensive experience and gladly share their expertise. “Between the two of us, we’ve dealt with all kinds of species,” Nel-

Cost: Glass tanks and enclosures can be expensive, and many of these animals require lighting and heating that will add to electricity bills. Feeding and veterinary costs must also be considered. Size: Get a clear sense of how big the animal will grow. Larger animals require more space and higher feeding costs. Care: Everyone in the household should be on board with taking care of the animal. If one party loses interest, others must step up to ensure the animal is healthy and happy.

A black and white Argentine tegu takes a whiff with its tongue at Parker Exotic Pets in Parker on Sept. 8. The store’s owner, Jennifer Nystrom, says reptile owners often own dogs or cats as well and just want to add “something a little different” to their lives. Photo by Tom Skelley son said, referring to Meidinger. “We also work very closely with Homeward Bound Veterinary hospital, so if people have sick animals, they can help.” Before any animal is brought into Parker Exotic Pets, owner Jennifer Nystrom and manager Hanna Stroh do a lot of research to make sure they fully understand how to care for the animals and can share that information with customers. “It’s important to us we know how to provide excellent care,” Stroh said. “We’re doing research all the time to stay up on the latest information.” Since most amphibians and reptiles require glass tanks, heating lamps and specific foods, Scales ‘N Tails and Feeder Frenzy are cautious about to whom they sell their animals. “Things like increases in electrical bills and feed costs add up quite quickly,” Lanigan said. “Certain animals are just not for everybody, and people need to be smart about deciding if they should own these kinds of pets.” Pets continues on Page 11

Other pets: It’s important to consider how a new pet will affect any pets currently in a household. For example, if a house already has birds or other small animals, it may not be a good environment for a snake or large lizard.

Bearded dragons make a great starter lizard, said Dillon Lanigan, manager of Northglenn’s Scales ‘n’ Tails pet shop. He describes them as doglike in their affection. Courtesy photo

The Foothills Animal Shelter often becomes the home for these pets, after they’ve been surrendered by their owners. “We get pets from people who just weren’t ready for whatever the animal needs to thrive,” said Jessi Burns, marketing and communications manager with the shelter. “We’ve been trying to get the word out more about our ‘critter corner’ area, and the animals in need of a home there.” One of the best ways to ensure a household is ready for an exotic pet is to do a lot of research, Burns said, and to talk to people who have experience keeping these animals as pets. “Make sure everyone in the house is on board with taking care of the animal,” she said. “So often children get these animals, but when they lose interest, the parents don’t want to take care of the pet either.” There are so many varieties of reptiles and amphibians, and that’s one of the things that makes them such great pets, Stroh said. “It’s so exciting to see all the different personalities these animals have, even within the same species,” she said. “ Depending on how much time you want to spend on the animal, there are a lot of options.” Reptiles and amphibians can be great pets for children, if taught properly, Burns said. A key lesson is how to be responsible and care for another living thing, a sentiment borne out by the experiences of those at Scales ‘N Tails and Feeder Frenzy. “I love helping people get their first animal, and setting them up to be healthy,” Nelson said. “My favorite part is when they come back with a healthy, grown animal that is doing well.”

“Flowers for the Portico” by Elayne Moseley is a drawing that will be included in the Light and Lively exhibit in Town Hall’s Stanton Gallery. Courtesy photos

“Colors of Summer” is a watercolor by Steve Griggs that is included in the “Light and Lively” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center.

Griggs has won many awards, including Gilpin County Arts Association, Rocky Mountain National Water Media Annual Juried Exhibition, Denver Plein Air Arts Festival and Colorado Watercolor Society. Rick Brogan is a well-known painter and teacher who lives in Centennial. A Montana native, he has worked as an animator, illustrator and art director in the Denver area and has been a full time painter for more than 20 years. He works in gouache and oil. He teaches at Art Students League of Denver and Curtis Arts and Humanities Center in Greenwood Village and is represented by galleries in Denver, Taos, Evergreen and Sedona. Bruce Zander is an intaglio printmaker (in intaglio printing, the lines are carved into the plate and hold ink, as opposed to relief printmaking) and a photographer. He uses a modern take on an ancient way of making prints and converts his photographic images into inkbased intaglio prints with a metal plate. He says he uses high-quality inks and papers so the resulting prints are museum quality. He is largely self-taught as far as printmaking goes, but has studied with fine art photographers Alan Ross (assistant to Ansel Adams) John Ward (Colorado) and Howard Bond (Michigan). All of his printmaking is done at Art Students League of Denver, where he continues studies under a master printmaker. “Monochrome imagery allows us to see the world in a way that draws our attention to light, form and textures we may otherwise miss with the eye. Such imagery reveals a melody and a rhythm in the world around us that we cannot detect with a full range of color,” he wrote. Elayne Moseley will exhibit drawings. “Art is a reflection of what an artist sees and feels, then translates into a visual medium. It can be moments in time, a glimpse of the past, a shared experience, a noticed detail or a mindfulness of place. My drawings often contain some

Lone Tree Arts Center hosts award-winner Steve Winter By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Asian jungles, Himalayan mountain heights, Latin American rain forests and even metropolitan Los Angeles … Award-winning photographer Steve Winter has traveled the world in search of big cats and other wildlife. He has been attacked by rhinos in India, stalked by jaguars in Brazil, charged by an 11-foot grizzly in Siberia and trapped in quicksand in the world’s largest tiger reserve in Myanmar. He slept in a tent for six months at 40 below zero to track the rare snow leopard. And year-round, he does all in his power to save these endangered animals from extinction. Winter will appear at Lone Tree Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 27 and 10 a.m. on Sept. 28 with his program, “On the Trail of the Big Cats with Steve Winter” — the first of four National Geographic Live programs in the Lone Tree season. This wildlife journalist/conservation photographer grew up in Iowa and stud-

ied journalism at Iowa State University. He received his first camera on his seventh birthday, a gift from his father, and has been a National Geographic photographer since 1991. He lectures nationally and internationally on photography and conservation issues and has published several books, including the beautiful coffee-table volume published by National Geographic, “Tigers Forever: Saving the World’s Most Endangered Cat.” Cats continues on Page 18

Broncos QB gains high praise from his mentor

Bruins win third soccer match Creek boys come through with 1-0 triumph over Mountain Vista By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Cherry Creek junior keeper Rykar Kimura comes out of the net to make a save on an possible scoring opportunity attempt by Chase Pacheco in the Bruins’ 1-0 victory over Mountain Vista in a non-league game played Sept. 6 at Village Greens in Greenwood Village. Kimura made seven saves during the match.

KEEPING SCORE WITH... JARROD HOLT Junior cross country/ track athlete rit He age High School

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete (past or present)? Peyton Manning because he’s a class act and one of the best ever to play. Why do you participate in sports? I enjoy the camaraderie I share with my teammates as well as setting and accomplishing my goals. What is your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist/ group? Country music — Luke Bryan.

Boys on Cherry Creek’s soccer team have a custom of dyeing their hair when they make the varsity. On Sept. 6, the golden-haired Bruins won their third straight and toughest match of the season with a 1-0 victory over Mountain Vista at Village Greens Park in Greenwood Village. “We’re not really sure how it started but it’s been years,” said Creek coach Chelo Curi of the hair ritual. “That’s their thing. That’s what they like to do. As soon as they make the team, they do it professionally. Soccer continues on Page 22

What is your favorite subject in school? History because my teacher has made the material very engaging. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? I take some deep breaths, try to relax, say a prayer and have my mind focused on what I want to accomplish.

Holt

What is your favorite book? The “Hunger Games” series, since they always kept me on the edge of my seat.

What are your plans for after high school? I would like to major in finance and hopefully compete in collegiate track and cross country. “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.

 Judd Erickson, football, senior, Mountain Vista: He followed a highlight performance against Poudre by going 33-of-61 for 457 yards and six touchdowns in a 49-34 win over Rangeview on Sept. 9. Erickson passed for 450 yards and four touchdowns in the Golden Eagles’ season-opening 67-37 win over Poudre. In two games, he has gone 63-of-104, with no interceptions, for 907 yards and 10 touchdowns.  Melissa Evans, volleyball, senior, Highlands Ranch: She had 27 kills in a 3-1 win over Chaparral as the Falcons won the Regis Jam Tournament Sept. 3. She had 22 kills in a 3-0 victory over Westminster on Sept. 8. The national average for kills is 18 per match.  Nicco Ciccio, football, senior, Lutheran: Ciccio finished with 13 catches for 160 yards and three touchdowns from quarterback William Willis in a 34-13 win over Berthoud on Sept. 9.  Nikki Sobeck, volleyball, senior, Littleton: She had 14 digs and eight serving aces in a 3-0 win over Thornton on Sept. 8.  Chris Grauberger, soccer, junior, Arapahoe: He had two goals and an assist in the Warriors’ 6-1 triumph over Thompson Valley on Sept. 6.

To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Mick McCall has a message for Broncos fans who might still have concerns about the learning curve that quarterback Trevor Siemian is facing. Siemian made his first National Football League start in the Thursday night game Sept. 8 and helped the Broncos beat Carolina, 2120, in a Super Bowl rematch in Denver. McCall, the former Douglas Jim Benton County High OVERTIME athlete and Huskies and Mullen football coach, is the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks mentor at Northwestern, where he tutored Siemian. He says there was nothing surprising about Siemian’s first-game performance and he echoed the Broncos players’ praise of their quarterback’s composure and athletic ability. “I keep telling everybody he is a real level guy and he never gets too high or gets too low,” McCall said. “He connects with everybody, whether it’s the offensive line, the defensive line, DBs or wide receivers. “As a football player, he’s always had a live arm and really studies the game hard. He just takes things as they come... He doesn’t get rattled.” Siemian, who was the Broncos’ third quarterback last season but only took one kneeldown snap in a regular-season game, completed 18 of 26 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown, and he showed the ability to rush for first downs. But he threw two interceptions. Denver fans booed several times when the offense left the field. “He’s not going to let one mistake or a bump in the road hurt him,” McCall said. “He’s going to keep playing and do what he can do. We always talked about this — worry about things you can control and take care of those things. Things out of your control you just have to get up and find a way the next time.” Siemian has the ability to anticipate and throw to receivers before they break away from defenders, which is sometimes hard for new NFL starters to master. “He’s always done that,” McCall said. “We always talked about throwing people open, rather than waiting for them to get open. He’ll anticipate a little bit and trust his guys. He has great confidence with his receivers and everybody up front.” Siemian was part of a two-quarterback system at Northwestern with former Cherry Creek standout Kain Colter. “It was all about the team,” McCall said. “No matter what happens with the decision to start (in Denver), Trevor is always going to be a team guy.” Benton continues on Page 22

They go to a hairstylist. They just don’t slap it on themselves. It’s their little tradition. They all want to do it. They don’t have to do it. “Most of them can’t wait to do it because then everybody knows you are on the varsity team. It’s harmless. We get a lot of attention everywhere we go. They think we’re all blonds.”

Key moments After wins over Aurora Hinkley and Aurora Central, the Bruins faced a tough challenge against perennial powerhouse Mountain Vista, but junior Peter McHugh scored the only goal of the game early in the first half off an assist from Josh Albert, who was the only Creek player with his natural hair color because of a senior picture. “Josh just played me a perfect ball through,” McHugh said. “We’re getting better and better each game. We’re improving every

time we’re together.” Mountain Vista elevated its play in the second half and had several scoring chances but couldn’t get the tying goal. Key players/statistics: Bruins’ junior Rykar Kumira, one of three goalies vying for the No. 1 position, made seven saves while Vista keeper Christopher Reicher was credited with four saves. Mountain Vista had four corner kicks during the match compared to one for Creek.

and has spent the past two seasons as an assistant boys lacrosse coach at Valor Christian. He replaces Louis Goldin, who resigned as the Jaguars’ head coach. Golden Athletic Director JC Summers said Mike Thumin is returning to Golden to take over from Kurt Ohlen as boys lacrosse coach. Thumin is leaving Dakota Ridge to return to Golden, where he coached for 11 seasons, 10 as head coach. He guided the Demons to five league titles. Ohlen is departing to coach at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode

They said it “It was an early season sloppy game,” said Curi. “We were trying to score another goal but it was a little bit of not quite there yet. The opportunities were either one pass too many or one pass too little. We knew Mountain Vista was going to be good. Both teams were coming off long weekends (Labor Day) and you didn’t see the best of either one of us. It was good to play a good team early because it gave us a lot of things to work on.” Vista coach Theresa Ech-

Island. Quite a rally If you want to chitchat about a wild softball game, talk to Horizon coach Gary Mares. Ask him about the second game of the King of the Mountain tournament Sept. 3 against Rampart, which the Hawks won, 25-24, on an RBI by Megan Blood-Smyth in the top of the seventh inning. Horizon, coming off a loss against Smoky Hill in which the Hawks blew a three-run lead in the seventh inning, fell

termeyer was pleased with the play of her team in the final 40 minutes. “It was a great second half,” she said. “We had a couple great opportunities. We just couldn’t get it into the back of their net. I feel like we’re getting better every game and putting pieces together. That’s what non-league is for.” Going forward Creek plays Mullen in a Centennial League contest Sept. 16 at Village Greens Park.

behind to Rampart 13-0 after the top of the first and 18-3 after three frames. The Hawks scored seven runs in the fourth and 13 in the fifth to grab a 23-21 lead. Rampart tied the game in the sixth, but Horizon rallied to win the game. “They had every reason to give up,” Mares said. “What great fortitude and character.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Discover the essential ingredients for your successful marketing strategy

Littleton girls post 3-0 victory over Thornton

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton provided Lions fans with a lot to cheer about Sept. 8 as they opened the volleyball season at home sweeping the match with Thornton, 3-0. “About half our girls were with us last year and are providing veteran leadership and helping the new players who are with us this season,” Lions coach Margaret Mangum said after the match. “Tonight, I get my first chance to see how we play as a team.” She said she took the opportunity to substitute a lot tonight and get all

Key moments Littleton took control of the tempo of play quickly. The Lions worked their offense to score points and they played strong, steady defense. Littleton won three straight games, 25-13, 25-10 and 25-13. Key players/statistics Nikki Sobeck led the team in aces with nine and made 14 digs. Mallory Burbage was the team leader in kills

with nine, plus she made 10 digs. Emma Parkhurst led the team with 15 assists and made 10 digs. They said it Julia Pobanpurta had a solid night on the court with three serving aces, three kills and three digs. She said her strength is defense, because “I like the fast reaction time needed to keep the ball in play.” Teammate Sobeck said she loves serving the ball. “I don’t know what I did tonight that helped me place the serve just right, but it felt great,” the senior said. Going forward The next home match for the Lions is Sept. 20 against Pomona.

Warrior runners take honors in Centennial meet Arapahoe girls second, boys fourth at invitational

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe runners had a good day at the recent Warrior Invitational Track Meet, placing in the top five in both the girls and the boys varsity division team standings. The ground around deKoevend Park in Centennial shook on Sept. 2 from the impact of hundreds of runners taking part in the annual event. For the first time in many years, the course included some changes, such as moving the water crossing further north on the route. Several runners said they liked the improvements. The Warriors joined a field of 164 runners representing 24 schools in the girls varsity division. Coronado, from Colorado Springs, won the girls team title with 117 points and Arapahoe, led by Allison Marizza’s seventh-place finish, took second place with 150 points. Cherry Creek’s Devon Peterson crossed the finish line

in 11th place, helping the Bruins take eighth place in the team standings with 241 points. Heritage finished 21st and Littleton didn’t register a team score. Rock Canyon won the boys varsity title with 63 points and Cherry Creek earned a third place in team standings with 115 points as Kyle Moran finished third with a time of 16:24. Arapahoe was fourth in points with 126 with teammates James Logan and Kyle Kennedy finishing sixth and seventh, respectively. Heritage took 19th place with 498 points —Jarrod Holt, in 58th place, was the first Eagle to the finish line. Littleton finished in 20th place with 510 points; Christian Sapakoff was the first Lion in at the 34th position.

Lion Assistant Coach Bill Knipmeyer said this is a rebuilding year for cross country at Littleton. “About two-thirds of our boys and our girls are freshmen and sophomores and are learning to run distance and what cross country is all about,” he said. One of those sophomores is Sapakoff. “My brother ran cross country so I decided to try it even though I honestly don’t know why I like to run,” he said. “Today was warm, but I really like the course and feel I ran pretty well, although my time was slower than I had hoped.” He ran 18:03 at the Warrior Invitational and said his goal is to cut a minute or more off his time by the end of the season.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 12, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mars, your ruling planet, helps you deal with career challenges in a way that reflects some of your own hidden strengths. This impresses some important decision-makers. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your strong Bovine will, combined with your romantic nature (you are ruled by Venus), helps turn a romance with a potential for problems into one with more-positive possibilities. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury’s influence creates some unsettling moments, but nothing that you can’t live with. You’ll soon learn more about that major change that is about to be revealed. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Opportunities for you are like the phases of the Moon: constantly appearing and reappearing. So, cheer up. The opportunity you think you let slip by will be replaced by another. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity that you hoped would open up for you remains closed. Stop wasting time scratching at it. Something else you’ll like will soon make itself apparent and accessible. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. You’ll soon hear some positive feedback for all the hard work you recently put into a project. A Pisces could soon swim into your personal life. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone whose friendship you felt you had to write off will try to revive it. What you do is up to you. But don’t do it without giving it considerable thought.

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) A jobrelated plan might need to be reworked to allow for changes. Lucky for you that Saturn remains a strong influence that can help you focus on getting it done right. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to move into areas of selfdiscovery. You might be surprised about who you really are and how you really relate to those around you.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Expect to confront someone who will make an unwelcome request. Stand by your resolve to do the right thing no matter what “persuasion” might be offered. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A friendly competition could become more contentious than you expected. Take time out to discuss the reasons behind this unexpected change, and act accordingly. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You have a wonderful mind for solving mysteries, so you should feel confident about solving the one developing very close to you. An unlikely source offers help. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a great host or hostess. You love being with people, and you’re very good about planning all sorts of social events that bring folks together.
