National crime ring suspected in area thefts Places frequented by women may be targeted by Felony Lane Gang Staff report

A national organized crime ring that targets places frequented by women has again been linked to theft and fraud in the south metro area. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of a purse and checkbook from a locked vehicle at a day care center in the 6800 block of South Quebec Street in Centennial. The crime may be connected to the “Felony Lane Gang,” according to the sheriff’s office. A suspect in the late-July crime has been described by the sheriff’s office as a white woman between 50 and 60 years old. She tried to cash stolen checks at several area banks using identification
obtained during previous thefts from vehicles, the sheriff’s office said. She may have been driving a gray or silver SUV. Felony Lane Gang members “have been operating for years and are known for using the farthest drive-through lane at a bank to try to cash stolen checks,” according to the sheriff’s office. While the suspects prefer unlocked vehicles, they will smash windows to gain entry if needed. “These mostly are happening in broad daylight,” said Julie Brooks, public information officer for the sheriff’s office. “As with many other types of crimes, being aware and observant can help. Look around when you are dropping your kids off at day care or heading into the gym. Do you see people just sitting in their car? Have you seen the car there before? If you see suspicious behavior, report it immediately.” Crime continues on Page 5
While work on an expansion of C-470 between I-25 and Kipling Parkway is set to start early next month, a group of Highlands Ranch residents that has sued over the project wants construction to halt until the lawsuit is settled. The Highlands Ranch Neighborhood Coalition filed suit against the Colorado Department of Transportation in federal court in May, also naming CDOT Executive Director Shailen Bhat and Federal Highway Administration Colorado Division Administrator John Cater as defendants, alleging that flawed traffic noise data was used in the project’s approval process. The coalition alleges that CDOT and the FHWA violated the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 as well as federal noise regulations and filed a motion last month asking the court to postpone work until after the lawsuit is heard because any change to the traffic conditions along the corridor will make it impossible to collect proper noise data. Coalition President Carter Sales, who lives along the south side of C-470 in between University and Colorado boulevards, said he and his neighbors want sound walls between the freeway and their homes, something CDOT and FHWA determined was unnecessary. Sales says CDOT did not collect the required number of long-term noise samples during the public comment period last year. He said that he filed the suit after being rebuffed by the agency when he filed administrative complaints last year. C-470 continues on Page 5

Winery, restaurant offer ‘unique’ experience Capitol Hill Italian eatery Angelo’s Taverna opens shared space with Carboy in Littleton By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com After more than 40 years serving up Italian fare on Capitol Hill, Angelo’s Taverna has opened a second location, this one in Littleton, and it includes an on-location urban winery, something co-owner Craig Jones says is unique in Colorado. Carboy Winery shares the building, located at 6885 S. Santa Fe Drive, with Angelo’s, and its vintner’s license allows drinks to be carried across the premises. “I’ve lived in Littleton for 16 years,” said Jones, who purchased the restaurant four years ago with Eric Hyatt, explaining why he chose the location for Angelo’s suburban outpost. Many customers of the original 6th Avenue location drive from as far away as Highlands Ranch to eat at Angelo’s regularly, Jones said. The restaurant, along with the winery, will give suburban diners a closer option, Jones said. “The thing about the suburbs is you have a lot of chain restauants and people want the unique, chic experience they get in Denver,” he said. The winery, owned by Gabriel Aragon, sources wines from regions all over the world and puts its own twist on some of them by aging them further or creating blends. “We’re doing something that in the Old World is not that uncommon,” said sommelier Kevin Webber, who is Carboy’s director of sales and marketing. Bry binging wines from different regions under the Carboy label, Webber said, the winery will allow people to try fine wines at a lower price. “Wine has a stigma that really good, exceptional wine is for people in the know or people with deep pockets,” he said. Per-glass prices for Carboy wines on
Carboy Winery director of sales and marketing Kevin Webber, left, and winemaker Tyzok Wharton say there are advantages to producing wine in an urban setting. Photo by Kyle Harding the Angelo’s wine list range from $8 to $10. The winery also will try to incorporate more Colorado-grown wines into its menu, Webber said. Carboy is an urban winery, meaning it has no vineyard of its own. While wineries located in viticultural areas attempt to lure drinkers to their rural settings and persuade them to join wine clubs, urban wineries bring the product to the consumer. The model also lowers the barrier of entry to becoming a winemaker. Next year, Carboy will begin fermenting its own wine from whole grapes that it sources from vineyards, said winemaker Tyzok Wharton, and will eventually produce about 125,000 bottles per year. “Not everybody is privileged with the land,” said Wharton, who previously

worked at an urban winery in San Francisco that primarily sourced fruit from Northern California’s Sonoma Valley wine region. Carboy is also taking a page from craft breweries that dot the Denver area, offering growler fills of wine to take home. In addition, it serves beer from local breweries, including its neighbor, Breckenridge Brewery. It has 14 wines, and Webber said that Vin 59, a red blend of Zinfandel, Syrah and Malbec, is currently the flagship wine. “It’s kind of a wine for everybody,” he said. Inside the restaurant side of the 10,000-square-foot building, design cues evoke the original location of Angelo’s, with a large circular bar, brick walls, stained glass and a glass display wall full

When Jones and Hyatt bough Angelo’s four years ago, they added an oyster bar to the standard Italian fare, something that carries over to the new location. While the original Angelo’s benefits from a location in a walkable neighborhood, the Littleton location does not have the same advantage. However, Jones said it has drawn about 500 diners on weekends since its soft opening earlier this month. He said getting customers out on weekday nights is what it needs to do to remain successful after its grand opening on Sept. 29. “Like any restaurant,” he said, “it’s going to take a while to get people out here on a Monday or Tuesday.”

That One Special Place
Buyers opt for a year-round resort home at nearby Ravenna, where you can explore three collections this weekend. by Mark Samuelson At Ravenna, the scenic golf community that’s only 25 minutes from the Tech Center, Realtors are spotting a trend in the pace of luxury home sales that suggests buyers are thinking differently now about where they’ll move and how they’ll retire. “We’re seeing people giving up on the idea of a building a primary home in one place and a secondary home in another,” says Dale Schossow of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, Listing Broker for Ravenna. “They’re opting for one special place they can enjoy yearround, one that’s still close to the kids and close to the city.” Schossow and his team will let you in to see a place like that this weekend.

Volunteers paint Littleton man’s house Centura Health’s Love Matters Most day and Brothers Redevelopment’s Paint-A-Thon combine forces
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Albert Allias’ double-wide mobile home needed a fresh coat of paint. But the 73-year-old throat cancer survivor and Army veteran has no family in the area. With the help of his neighbors, Jim and Irma Karnes, Allias applied to be a beneficiary of Brothers Redevelopment’s Paint-AThon. About six weeks ago, he was informed that his application was accepted. “This actually came as a surprise,” said Allias, who works three days a week as a handyman at Castle Bar and Grill on Broadway. Sept. 13 also happened to be Centura Health’s Love Matters Most community service day, and some of Centura’s volunteers teamed up with Brothers during the day. About 10 Centura volunteers arrived at Allias’ house in the Meadowood Village Mobile Home Park near Breckenridge Brewery, bringing with them rollers, brushes and buckets of paint and primer. They also checked the condition of his roof and gutters. About 400 Centura volunteers, including many employees, volunteered at 14 sites throughout the day, not only working on seniors’ homes but also preparing packages of food and personal hygiene items. Casey Leno, director of mission and ministry at Littleton Adventist Hospital, part of the Centura Health system, said the day gives hospital employees a chance to connect with the community. “It’s called `Love Matters Most’ because it’s not about a hospital, it’s not about a school,” he said. “It’s about getting the community together.” Leno’s team was part of the Paint-AThon, which had 120 volunteers on 10

Hospital employees and volunteers for Centura Health’s Love Matters Most day combined forces with Brothers Redevelopment’s 38th annual Paintathon to rejuvenate the exterior of the house. Photos by Kyle Harding different sites throughout the day. “It’s awesome to see people volunteer,” said Brian Aeverman, Brothers Redevelopment home maintenance field supervisor. “The gratification they get out of it is so neat.” The Paint-A-Thon, now in its 38th year, helps seniors maintain the value of their home, which is likely their most valuable asset, said Aeverman, adding that home maintenance help for seniors can also help them remain in their houses. “A lot of people have lived in their homes for 30 or 40 years and it’s the only home they know,” he said. Brothers is a Denver-based nonprofit organization that provides housing and home repairs to low-income people, seniors and the disabled. The maintenance and repairs department of the group works on roughly 100 homes per year, largely
relying on volunteer labor. “We put a lot of faith in our volunteer groups,” Aeverman said. Mobile homes like Allias’ are usually static in value and it can be difficult to find groups that do repairs on them, Aeverman said, but Brothers focuses on people who live on fixed incomes. The Karnes urged Allias to fill out the application after seeing a Brothers volunteer team paint another house in Meadowood last year. “They did such a good job,” Jim Karnes said of the work last year. He said that his wife looks out for Allias, who lives alone, often bringing him food. “She makes sure that he doesn’t lose any weight,” he said. Allias is grateful for his neighbors’ help. “They’re beautiful people,” he said of the Karnes.

QUICK TIPS

consumes only as much energy as it produces. The Lunsfords call it the #TinyLab and they are taking it to 20 cities across the country for their Proof Is Possible Tour. They stopped in Centennial, at Centennial Center Park on East Arapahoe Avenue, from Sept. 5-10. Other cities on the tour include San Diego, Dallas, Baltimore and Chicago. Their goal is to teach homeowners and contractors how to use scientific testing to prove that home improvement work meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency and reliabilty. “Efficiency, comfort, safety and savings are all byproducts of performance,” Grace said. The couple, in their late 20s, hasn’t always been in the home-improvement industry. Corbett started off as a professional piano player. In 2008, he decided to switch career paths and a year later, he started teaching a building performance workshop. He’s since hosted more than 100 YouTube videos and conducted 60 interviews for his podcast. He’s also written a book: “Home Performance Diagnostics: The Guide to Advanced Testing.” Grace was an actress and still performs voiceovers. She’s also a film producer and the mastermind behind many of her husband’s YouTube videos. Each city on the Proof Is Possible Tour is sponsored by a local company that shares the same values as the Lunsfords. Centennial’s sponsor was SSP Innovations, a geographical information system and work-management software company that specializes in technologies for electric, gas, water, and fiber utilities. “We help customers make a plan and map for safety,” said Skye Perry, founder

IN SIMPLER TERMS…
As part of their Proof is Possible Tour, Grace and Corbett Lunsford created a mini-magazine, titled “Proof is Possible: How to keep an eye on your new home construction or home improvement,” that outlines their mission. Below are some quick tips they include on home performance testing. Set measurable goals. The Lunsfords compare the expectations of a home to the expectations of a restaurant. When you go out to eat, you expect your food to taste good, to be served hot and to come exactly how you ordered it. Your house should feel good, have consistent air temperature and your equipment should perform how it says it will on the label. Based on performance tests, your contractor should guarantee these goals. The most important element is air quality. You want your family to breathe healthy air, which is why the Lunsfords recommend air sealing — a process that involves finding and sealing air leakage points throughout the house, such as an attic or a fireplace or a crawlspace. Fresh air ventilation should be planned into homes that are reasonably airtight, the Lunsfords say.
Airtight homes also prevent leakage of heat and cool air. Flooring. Your house can hurt your family, the Lunsfords say.Some types of flooring, including laminate and plywood, use glue that contains formaldehyde, a colorless, flammable gas. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry says that at low levels, formaldehyde can cause eye, nose and throat irritation. At higher levels, exposure can cause skin rashes, shortness of breath, wheezing and changes in lung function. Home Depot sells formaldehyde-free plywood, which is what the Lunsfords have in their #TinyLab. Test, test, test. The Lunsfords say the only way to prove you have control of your home is through performance testing, which gives you a before-andafter comparison through checklists and energy usage metrics. Performance-based contracting is a business model that many contractors use, the Lunsfords say. All you need to know is what to ask for.
On home-performance improvements If a car owner has an issue with his or her car, he or she may take it to get serviced by a mechanic, Grace and Corbett Lunsford say. Or if a person is sick, he or she may go to the doctor for a diagnosis and, if needed, a prescription. Similarly, if a homeowner has a problem with his or her home, he or she can contact a home-performance professional who will scientifically test for the problem and recommend an improvement. On the #TinyLab The #TinyLab, a 210-square-foot house on wheels that cost an estimated $125,000, is the Tesla of houses, the Lunsfords say. It’s built to the highest performance standards in energy efficiency, indoor air quality, comfort and durability. It uses green materials and has zero net energy consumption. And its owners control everything — from the way it looks to the way it sounds and smells.
of SSP Innovations. While Perry deals with larger companies, the Lunsfords want to reach the average homeowner or consumer. “We want to teach people to treat their house like their body,” said Corbett, who calls himself a building forensics investigator and testing guru. In Centennial, about 75 percent of homes were built before 1990, which means they may soon need repairs. “Homeowners are pretty savvy here,” said Shirley Berg, building services director for the City of Centennial. “This takes it to another level of understanding. It’s looking at the science and getting specific.” The Lunsfords encourage homeowners to use a trained home-performance professional, otherwise known as an energy
auditor, who can pinpoint where an improvement is needed based on numbers. They consider the homes a system, just like a car or a body. “The reality is that no one product fixes your home as a system,” Corbett said, “and any symptom you find might actually be an indication of a problem somewhere else in your home.” Along the Proof is Possible Tour, certain cities will be featured in the couple’s upcoming TV show, “Home Diagnosis.” The six-episode series will be featured on PBS next summer. The Lunsfords hope to revolutionize the home-development industry. “Just ask for proof,” Corbett said, “and if a contractor can’t give it to you, move on to the next one.”

lished to combat the gang. The Felony Lane Gang Task Force has a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/FelonyLaneGang, dedicated to this pursuit. According to the page: “Members of the Felony Lane Gang are normally based in south Florida and from there travel the country in rental vehicles; they target gyms, parks, day care centers, and sporting events likely to be frequented by women and increasing the chances
of finding purses left in vehicles; they conduct surveillance at these locations and unlawfully enter vehicles through unlocked doors or by using a window punch to break the window of a locked vehicle; and they specifically look for identification such as driver’s licenses, checks, and debit cards. “The suspects then recruit females who are normally prostitutes and/or drug addicts to assume the identities of
the theft victims in order to cash stolen checks belonging to other victims. The suspects normally supply the recruited check cashers with wigs in order to create a physical appearance similar to that of the victims whose identification was stolen.” The sheriff’s office asks anyone with information on the latest incident to call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or the ACSO tip line at 720-874-8477.
nificantly relieve congestion not just on C-470, but on east-west streets in the south metro area, as some drivers have taken to those routes to avoid the freeway. “I live in the area, I see congestion on 470 all the time and I think the average person wants that to get better,” Estes said. At an open house information session in Highlands Ranch on Sept. 13, people expressed mixed opinions about the project. Jeffrey Pearson, a U.S. Geological Survey employee who recently bought a house in Highlands
Ranch along C-470, said he is not concerned about the noise and believes the project could have a positive effect on congestion. “I’d rather save the hour stuck in traffic,” he said. However, Pearson, an environmental scientist who used to work for FHWA, said he has other concerns about the project. “I’m really more worried about the impact on the environment,” he said. The work had been scheduled to begin over the summer and an official groundbreaking took
place in August, but Estes said the project will likely not begin until early October. The biggest change to C-470 will be the addition of toll lanes, with two of them westbound between I-25 and Colorado and one from Colorado to Wadsworth Boulevard, and one eastbound toll lane from Platte Canyon Road to I-25. Estes said toll lanes were chosen over high-occupancy vehicle lanes in part to help pay for the project. The construction is mostly financed by loans that
will be paid for using the collected tolls. The cost of the project is $215 million, or $318 million including debt service. In addition to the express lanes, upgrades will include pavement reconstruction, auxiliary lanes at certain locations, curve realignment, widening or replacement of bridges and grade separations for the C-470 multiuse trail that runs parallel to the freeway. Work is expected to be completed in 2019.

ITT Tech students weigh options after closure
Local community colleges offer transfer information to students of closed for-profit college
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Thomas Westbrook had a feeling something was wrong at ITT Technical Institute earlier this year. “A few of us had an inkling something was fishy because they stopped taking new students in,” the Westminster resident said. He said school staff would get defensive when asked if there were problems. Westbrook was one quarter shy of earning an associate’s degree in network systems administration at ITT Tech’s Westminster campus, one of two Denver-area campuses of the for-profit college that closed on Sept. 6 after being barred by the Department of Education from accepting federal student aid and loans in August. About 430 students attended ITT Tech in the area, mostly at a campus in Aurora. Nationally, more than 40,000 students attended the school at its 130 campuses. ITT Tech could not be reached for comment. The school’s website does not list a phone number at which officials can be contacted, and a phone number that previously was promoted as a way
ITT TECH CLOSES AFTER FEDERAL AID REVOKED
WHERE TO TURN?
ITT Technical Institute closed its doors on Sept. 6 after it was barred by the U.S. Department of Education from accepting federal aid and loans in August.
The Colorado Community College System has reached out to former ITT Tech students to inform them of their options for continuing their education at a community college. More information about enrolling in a community college can be found at www.coloradocommunity colleges.com/go
The DOE took steps after ITT Tech’s accreditor, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, ruled that the for-profit college is not in compliance with its accreditation criteria.
to contact the school no longer was in service. Since the shutdown, the Colorado Community College System has taken steps to inform displaced students of their option for continuing education. Westbrook was one of two former ITT students who attended an information session at the Westminster Campus of Front Range Community College on Sept. 17. Because ITT wasn’t regionally accredited, transferring credits to a community college is not simple. Howard Fukaye, Arapahoe Community College’s director of student recruitment and outreach, said the college’s departments will analyze students’ coursework from ITT to see what can be accepted. “We’re a lot different type of entity than ITT Tech,” he said. Bitsy Cohn, director of credit for prior learning for the Colorado Community
“Our responsibility is first and foremost to protect students and taxpayers,” U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. said in a statement. “Looking at all of the risk factors, it’s clear that we need increased financial protection and that it simply would not be responsible or in the best interest of students to allow ITT to continue enrolling new students who rely on federal student aid funds.”
College System, said there are ways besides directly transferring credits that ITT Tech students’ prior learning can be assessed, such as portfolio reviews, challenge tests and assessments of workforce or military experience. “We want to make sure they get some credit for what they’ve learned,” she said. Former ITT students also have the option of discharging their student loans, but they cannot do so if they transfer credit to another school. ITT Tech had faced criticism for its marketing strategies and for leaving students with high levels of debt upon graduation. Westbrook said he was told by recruiters that with an ITT degree, he would make more money than with a degree from a community college. Fukaye said the school was known for targeting unemployed people and those who were uneducated about the higher
education system, with infomercials on daytime or late-night TV and recruiters at government work centers. However, the tuition at ITT Tech was significantly higher than at community colleges, he said, reaching about $5,000 per quarter, compared to $1,745 per semester for a full-time student at ACC. Only small numbers of former ITT Tech students have attended information sessions at area community colleges since the shutdown. While no more open houses are planned, Cohn said more inquiries may trickle in during coming months. Westbrook said he will likely enroll at Front Range Community College in a computer-related field. “I’m frustrated,” he said, “but enough time has passed that I’m not as mad as I was.”
Court hearing delayed for suspect in fatal Centennial crash
Taden Jones faces vehicular homicide, DUI charges in April 1 collision
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com The arraignment hearing for Taden Jones — the 18-year-old suspected of causing a car crash that killed two Cen-
tennial women — has been delayed until Nov. 18, at which time a plea could be entered. The Arapahoe High School graduate appeared in court on Sept. 16 with a private attorney, Suzanne Rogers. Rogers asked Chief Judge Carlos A Samour Jr. Jones for a continuance of more than six weeks as she
negotiates with Deputy District Attorney Chris Wilcox. Rogers also said her client is in treatment, though the type of treatment was not disclosed at the hearing. In the courtroom, Jones was accompanied by family members, and more than 10 teenagers sat behind him in support. Across the room were family members of the victims. Audrey Carolyn Burton, 77, and Gayle Brown Buckwalter, 82, died in the April 1 crash near the intersection of South
Colorado Boulevard and East Peakview Circle. Jones faces two counts of DUI vehicular homicide, two counts of reckless-driving vehicular homicide, one count of DUI, one count of reckless driving, one count of possession or consumption of alcohol by a minor and one count of possession of a forged instrument. Jones is free on $100,000 bond.

Dealership boosts leadership in schools Field Elementary program gets $6,000 grant from Groove Auto
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com A leadership program at Eugene Field Elementary School, based on the popular “Seven Habits” series of self-help books, is getting a boost from Groove Auto in the form of a $6,000 grant. Principal Lyn Bajaj said that the Leader in Me program helps instill positive traits in kids at an early age. “It’s incredible to see 5-year-olds on the playground say ‘We need to think win-win,’” she said. Groove regional vice president Rob Edwards took to the stage at a student assembly at Field on Sept. 13 to present an oversized check for $3,000 to Bajaj and the students before announcing that Groove was doubling the grant, drawing loud cheers from the students. Edwards said Groove chose the Leader in Me program to develop future leaders, and Bajaj introduced him to students as someone who uses the principles of leadership on a daily basis. The award is the first of 28 Drive for Education grants that Groove is giving to Denver-area schools this month. “It’s a big commitment of Groove to give back and fund Colorado schools in need,” said Tamila Bauer, chief marketing officer of Summit Automotive
Partners, to which Groove belongs. About 85 percent of the 340 students at Field qualify for free lunch, she noted. Field is one of only about 35 schools in the state that take part in The Leader in Me, which includes classroom materials, professional development and virtual materials. The program stresses teaching kids to be proactive, plan ahead, set goals and work together. “It’s a really good way to help kids learn about leadership,” said fourthgrader Kaylan Adams-Trusty. And fourth-grader Saul Ascencio said students can use the lessons they learn to help younger siblings. In May, Field students will make a presentation on the leadership principles they learn in the program to Groove employees. “It’s an opportunity to see the growth through this program,” Bauer said. Field is not the only Littleton school to be awarded a grant from Groove, district spokeswoman Diane Leiker said. Ralph Moody Elementary School received $3,500 to support a robotics club for fifth-graders, Hopkins Elementary School received $3,500 to upgrade classroom projectors and Franklin Elementary School received $1,500 to purchase books for first and second graders. Other area schools to receive grants are Acres Green Elementary School, Castle Rock Elementary School and Cresthill Middle School, all in Douglas County.

Arts in the Afternoon underway in Lone Tree Argentine tango launches series for 2016-17 season By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media The Lone Tree Arts Center launched its 2016-17 season on Sept. 14 with a matinee performance of “A Taste of Argentine Tango,” part of the Arts in the Afternoon series offered each month by the arts center. Dancers from Parasol Arts, a nonprofit Denver-based artistic group, demonstrated various forms of the tango including folk dances and improvised tangos along with a narration of their histories. The Arts in the Afternoon programs offer a variety of musicians and performers from around the metro area featuring dance, jazz, and opera. Programs typically run for an hour and are staged monthly on Wednesday afternoons. “We developed the program to keep people involved in the arts,” said Lisa Rigsby Peterson, executive director of the Lone Tree Arts Center. “From our seedlings to our seniors, the Arts in the Afternoons make the Lone Tree Arts Center a resource for our entire community.” Delfina Ashley-Baisden made the drive from Aurora for the Sept. 14 performance. “It was wonderful,” said AshleyBaisden. As an avid theatergoer, Ashley-Bais-
den holds season tickets to shows all over the Denver area, and for evening shows at the Lone Tree Arts Center, she books a room at the nearby Marriott and makes a night of it. The Lone Tree Arts Center began the Arts in the Afternoon programing with the opening of the center in 2012 as a way to make art available to everyone. Rigsby Peterson explained that daytime performances tend to be more convenient for many seniors who may be wary of driving at night. In addition, the cost of most afternoon performances ranges from $10 to $20. Most musical and dance performances in the series include an educational component, with narrations and talkbacks. In addition to musical offerings, the arts center provides seniors fully staged matinees of plays and musicals. Following each performance, audiences are invited to share refreshments and conversations with the artists in the arts center lobby. Rigsby Peterson touted the seniorfriendly design of the arts center and both performance halls, where over the years Arts in the Afternoon had served more than four dozen senior centers throughout the metro area. With a new MorningStar Senior Living facility set to open across the street on Jan. 2, she anticipates that the demand for afternoon programing will continue to grow. “We anticipate adding an additional performance each month,” she said.

A dream, a goal, or just a fantasy A publication of
Have you been dreaming about a beach vacation, a mountain home, a tropical island getaway, a new home, a new car, writing a book, or starting your own business? I know I have. Now let me ask it a different way, have you been fantasizing about a beach vacation, a mountain home, a tropical island getaway, a new home, a new car, writing a book, or starting your own business? You see there is a big difference between having dreams and goals and simply just fantasizing about them. Fantasizing about what you want most in life probably includes daydreaming, surfing the internet, looking at homes, browsing business opportunities, and writing books, music, or poems and lyrics in our head. But never actually doing anything about them. Setting goals and fulfilling dreams may start with some of the same things that fantasies do, however, they also probably look very different. I write a lot about setting and achieving goals or turning dreams into achievable events and life-changing moments, and what I write about most or coach to most often is the specific tactics and executable actions that have to take place to turn our fantasies into achievable goals and objectives. Now some of us are happy right where we are and very content with just living in
fantasy land, or on Fantasy Island for that matter. Where it’s nice to talk about and fantasize about what our life might look like or where we might want to live or retire, but when it comes to actually following through on it, we just can’t even take that first step. Michael Norton Maybe we talk ourselves out of such fanWINNING tasies because they just WORDS seem too risky, it could cost too much money, it will take too much time, it will be really really hard, it could take me away from my family or friends, or we can see our fantasies coming true for others, but there is just no way that our own fantasies and dreams can come true. Well, what if we changed our thought process and started talking ourselves into the achievement of our goals and dreams? It may be risky, but the bigger the risk the bigger the reward. It may seem like a lot of money, but with creativity and financing, I just might be able to pull it off. I am not going to worry about how much time it takes, this is my biggest dream, I will make the time. Wow,
this will be hard, but I know that I am up for the challenge. My family and my friends will support me, I know I can count on them. This isn’t just someone else’s goal or dream; I will own this one. When it comes to taking action regarding our fantasies and taking the actions necessary to achieve them, the first thing we have to do is turn our negative self-talk into positive self-talk. It is so easy for others to talk us out of our goals and dreams, and it’s even easier for us to talk ourselves out of those same goals and dreams. So identify what it is you want to do or be or have; identify why you really really want it; and then fill your mind with positive affirmations on how you will achieve it. There are several next steps, but this is where it starts. How about you? Are you being opportunistic and hoping an opportunity will fall in your lap? Or are you now thinking a little more strategically about how to turn those fantasies into achievable goals and dreams? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we focus on what we can achieve, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Doty deserves your vote Do you remember Nancy Doty? She served as an exemplary Arapahoe County clerk and successfully turned that office around. Nancy is our Republican candidate for state Senate District 26. As a certified public accountant, she has extensive experience developing budgets and successfully working within budgets. While serving in public office Gov. Bill Owens appointed Nancy as his chief financial officer. Now more than ever, voters living in District 26 are called to take a close look at this Senate seat and carefully evaluate the experience and ethics of a candidate like Nancy Doty. I believe she the most qualified for this Senate seat and she will win my vote. You are invited to become fully informed. You are invited to vote wisely. Roseanne Olsen Centennial

Here’s a vote for an end to political season Nov. 9, 2016, can’t get here soon enough. The past two years have been an inglorious vaudeville featuring Meanness, Deception and Coarse Language. I don’t talk to people like they Craig Marshall Smith do, and I don’t talk about people the QUIET they do. DESPERATION wayMythat political root system is fairly shallow, so I won’t expose it here by naming names or decrying campaigns — or the characters behind them. Unfortunately, there are only two names to name. There should be more. I know that there are others in the running, but they are simply political trifles. What if all you had to choose from was a Ford or a Chevy? Or mumps or measles? That’s what it feels like. Do I want mumps, or do I want measles?
Professional athletes are spokesmen and spokeswomen out of all proportion to their importance off the field. But who in the organization wants to criticize an overpaid linebacker? He might pout, and ask to be traded. I don’t care if the Broncos go 0-16, but I know that they are a nearobsession in these woods. I don’t want either one of them. Day after day and into the night, there are political commentaries by some very bright people, as well as by quite a few whose bulbs burned out a long time ago. Up from all of this we should have some splendid choices, and as many as you have at IHOP. Scrambled, over easy, sunny side up, poached, or Scotched. Nope. It’s runny or hard-boiled. I have stopped watching the news. I have stopped watching the debates. No more interviews. I take it now in much smaller bites. Online and in the newspaper. It’s not inspiring.
It doesn’t make me feel good. It depresses me. I keep hearing Peggy Lee. “Is that all there is?” New voters: Don’t despair. One of these days, it won’t be this grim. I hope it happens again in my life time. During the week, the daily is now a twosection newspaper. The front pages cover crimes and political opinions. The sports pages cover crimes and political opinions. It’s true. Professional athletes are spokesmen and spokeswomen out of all proportion Smith continues on Page 11

Demographics offer prediction of future Everyone needs a financial plan at some point in their lives. It is no secret that the earlier you start, the more likely you will be to reach your goals while requiring less money. This is because time and compounding are on your side. However, it is always interesting how people are more engaged in the process the older they get. Running out of time is scary and running out of money is worse. Therefore, many investment strategies are being created to assist retirees with income. However, taking advantage of the growth market fueled by the over-50 crowd may provide more assets for longer. It is important for all generations to realize that the bulk of goods and services available are aimed at the age group with the most disposable income and the largest demographic pool. You can look back at the impact of the baby boomer generation - 76 million strong - as they progressed in age. Products boomed from Gerber baby food to new elementary schools and then hordes of teens hanging out at fast food joints (some with really cool cars) as this massive generation grew up. Then as adults the demands were for suburbia housing, mini vans and supermarkets. Now they
are retiring and the statistics are worth noting, as it will impact what is available for any age group until Gen X (55 million) and the millennials (66 million) amass enough wealth to impact product offerings. Patricia Kummer The boomer generation is starting FINANCIAL to shrink due to STRATEGIES deaths and fewer immigrants over age 55. Therefore it is predicted that the millennials will exceed the boomers by 2030. However Gen X may always be the smaller stepchild and may not impact economic growth as much as the two larger siblings.¹ Currently, the fastest-growing segment of the population consists of people over age 100². In 2016, 115 million Americans are over age 50 and 40 million are over age 65. Yet only 7 percent of boomers and 22
percent of seniors have a financial plan. That may be why these next statistics are a bit dire: • Thirty-three percent are still working but had expected to be retired by now. • Fifty-five percent are unsure how much they will need or if they can retire.³ The largest age group of investors is age 50-64. And this age group is embarking on a future like no other generation before them. They expect to live longer, healthier, more active lives than their parents, and they will likely spend more on wants versus needs such as travel and sports. And perhaps they are investing in things they will benefit from when they are older. Such as things that improve eyesight, hearing, mobility and memory loss as well as ranch style or retirement community housing. The growth segment will be anything related to goods and services to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the instant-gratification crowd. The older end of the boomer spectrum consists of people looking for services to assist those who are unable to provide for themselves. That might include taking care of the yard and house, shuttle services, meal planning and online banking and
shopping for the homebound. Medical centers are popping up all over town along with drive-through pharmacies, and group travel experiences are on the rise. These demographic trends tell a story that will impact our economy in the future. It may be beneficial to be prepared for these changes. One change coming up is open enrollment for Medicare and health insurance. There is a free workshop on Medicare planning set for Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 S.

Keep in mind that the best is yet to come I remember the moment well. I lay in a hospital bed in the ICU of a local hospital recovering from a successful neck surgery and grieving. I hadn’t lost any loved ones due to death or illness, and I wasn’t without a job or resources. It was worse — my youngest child had moved out of the house and into his own life. I felt adrift and without a sense of purpose, even with a successful career as a writer and artist. I grieved because I was no longer “needed” to raise my children. They were capable and thriving on their own. When the nurse asked me if I’d like something to soothe me, of course, I readily agreed so I could dull the pain of my loneliness and sorrow. Then I asked her to find a Chaplain for me to talk to. The Chaplain, Nora, arrived, and we had a wonderful visit. She was an older woman who had served her community through her work. We talked about the sadness I felt as I transitioned into the empty nest, along with my husband. Next, Nora told me about a book, “The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully,” by Sister Joan Chittister, a Benedictine nun, who is outspoken on the topics of advocacy, justice, peace, and equality — especially for women. She is also fearless about the issue of aging. Sister Chittister challenged readers to examine the aging process, not as a thing to be feared, but to be embraced as there was, and is, so much more to it. “We don’t change as we get older — we just get to be more of what we’ve always been,” she said. Sister Chittister’s words moved me. Soon, I was searching for new ways to fill the new voids in my life, and find it I did. I looked for work in numerous organizations and eventually landed a job in a retirement community in Westminster where I could use my love of writing and the arts to help improve the quality of lives for residents. I no longer felt “down” about aging, and instead, I became more excited about growing older. Yes! I said it! I
became more excited about growing older. With aging comes possibility! Our residents and many others in our surrounding communities are intelligent, and their lifelong experiences and shared wisdom have added a wonderful Vickie Krudwig new dimension to my life and the lives TODAY’S of others. They are SENIOR proof that active engagement in life can have a positive effect on mental and physical wellness. Our residents are hungry for knowledge, and they soak up new experiences at LifeConnect University, Covenant Village of Colorado’s on-campus lifelong learning program. They love trying their hand at something new, such as beginning watercolor classes, fused glass workshops, bead working, writing programs, poetry sessions, music classes, and ecumenical programs. Growing older can and will open us up to new possibilities, new social opportunities, and lasting friendships. In other words, life is worth living for, and aging does have its benefits! Research also suggests senior adults who participate in lifelong learning activities benefit in profound, healthful ways. Lifelong learning creates opportunities for: Socialization: Taking classes, learning a new trade or stepping outside of our comfort zone to learn something new connects us with other like-minded people and creates new friendships. Brain stimulation: Classes like chess or the “Think” Brain Fitness Boot Camp at LifeConnect University can improve brain health and slow down the effects of dementia and Alzheimer’s in some people. Physical activity: T’ai Chi, yoga, hiking,

me a while to figure that out. I watched police in the South using water hoses on black people when I was a kid, and I knew this wasn’t Doodyville. (By the way, Doodyville wasn’t exactly Doodyville. There’s a book, “Say Kids! What Time Is It?” that goes behind the scenes of “Howdy Doody.” It’s R-rated.) It’s all a balancing act. You take the good with the bad, my son. It’s almost 50-50. But I have some good news. I read it in the sports pages, although it doesn’t have anything to do with sports. Spain is thinking about climbing out of the 17th century, and banning bullfights.

I don’t care if the Broncos go 0-16, but I know that they are a near-obsession in these woods. Stand, don’t stand, curl up in a ball, I don’t care. My father flew 30 missions, and I could not be more proud of him. The only holiday I observe is Veterans Day. So I stand.

A ministry of presence Police chaplains talk, listen and provide support to law enforcement and their families By Alex DeWind awind@coloradocommunitymedial.com
C
haplain Tim Ralph of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has frequented Parker Adventist Hospital over the past few weeks. He visits Dan Brite, a member of the sheriff’s office’s Impact Unit, and Brite’s wife Christine, a sergeant with the sheriff’s office. On Sept. 2, while responding to a “suicidal” suspect’s home near Sierra Middle School, Brite was shot in the chest. He has been in critical condition since. Ralph recalls a recent visit at the hospital on Sept. 13: Brite had woken up and was kissing his children. Still unable to talk, he attempted to scribble what looked like an “A” on a piece of paper. “I said pray? And he shook his head yes,” Ralph said. “So we prayed.” Ralph — also a Douglas County deputy and the founding pastor of a church — said he loves to help people. That is why he talks, listens and offers religious and spiritual support to the command staff of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “I try to tell them that they are fighting the good fight,” he said. Chaplains differ among law enforcement agencies. Some, like the Golden Police Department, have more than one chaplain. Others, like the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, don’t have a chaplain for the command staff. Kevin Shive, 46, one of four chaplains of the Golden Police Department, founded his organization — Rocky Mountain Police Chaplains — in 2014 to unify police chaplains across the state. Today, the organization has about 55 chaplains, including many from metro Denver police agencies such as Wheat Ridge Police Department, Denver Police Department, Littleton Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and more. The idea came to Shive after a set of traumatic events in the metro area, including the 2012 Aurora theater shooting that left 12 people dead and more than 70 injured at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” and the 2013 Boulder County flood that Chaplains continues on Page 13

WHAT IS A CHAPLAIN?
TYPES OF CHAPLAINS
A chaplain provides nondenominational religious services, spiritual guidance and counseling to people within a secular institution, such as a hospital, prison, military unit, police department, fire department or university. Chaplains pray and promote spirituality, read from sacred texts, prepare and deliver sermons, organize and lead religious
services, and plan and lead religious education programs.
Police chaplains serve law enforcement personnel and agencies.
patients, families and staff at a hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility or hospice.
A chaplain is required to have a Bachelor’s degree, though many employers also require a Master’s degree and prior experience in the field of religion.
Prison chaplains serve those who are incarcerated, either awaiting trial or after conviction.
Educational chaplains serve an educational institution, such as a college or university.

Chaplain Stage
Douglas County jail On a weekday afternoon, Chaplain Kenny Teague sports a blue-collared shirt, jeans and a pair of Nikes. When asked how he deals with the day-to-day duties as chaplain of the Douglas County jail, he responds: “There’s no turning it off. This is is my way of life.” Teague, 53, leads weekly religious services on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Sunday morning, he streams a service from a church in Boulder over a projector in one of the jail’s program rooms. He’s at the jail full-time during the week, where he leads Bible studies, provides one-on-one counseling and coordinates requests for religious texts. “Some will tell you how much their lives changed getting closer to God,” Teague said of the inmates. Teague has been chaplain of the Douglas County jail for three years. About 15 religious volunteers assist him with services. When he talks
Military chaplains serve service personnel and conduct religious services at sea or in the field.
Arapahoe County jail
Chaplain Kenneth Teague works with inmates at the Douglas County Jail. This is his way of life, he said. “I don’t pacify anything — I’m real when I talk to them.” Photo by Alex DeWind to inmates, Teague is straightforward. He said he recognizes that they have the freedom to practice religion and, also, the freedom to not practice religion. “We try to do everything to keep the jail quiet,” he said.
Chaplain Stage, who would like his first name kept private, has been a full-time employee of the Arapahoe County jail for about four years. He’s at the jail Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and one weekend a month as chaplain of the Colorado National Guard. Stage’s responsibilities at the 1,350-bed jail include leading seven religious services per week and providing one-onone spiritual, emotional and religious counseling for inmates. He also handles logistics, including coordinating inmates’ requests for religious texts. Religious and spiritual services are a release for the
inmates, he said. “It’s a way for them to bring order to their chaos,” Stage, 38, said. Stage has a Christian background and acknowledges that sometimes he cannot provide the appropriate religious services to inmates. So, in those instances, he will reach out to other religious leaders in the community. “I advocate for their First Amendment right,” Stage said. “But I’m not a chameleon.” As chaplain of a county jail, he had to learn very quickly how to deal with heavy stories. To handle the emotion, he said he talks to God and relies on his own faith. “It’s a blessing to forget some things,” he said.

‘Literary Magic’ is theme as orchestra opens season Lone Tree Symphony performance salutes city’s new library By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com

“Literary Magic” is the theme as the Lone Tree Symphony tunes up for its first concert of the 2016-2017 season at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 30 at Lone Tree Arts Center. The theme celebrates the opening of the new Lone Tree Library just across the street from the Arts Center, where the orchestra usually performs. The program should appeal to all but the littlest, wiggliest family members. Conductor Jacinda Bouton will raise her baton first to lead the orchestra in Leonard Bernstein’s “Overture to Candide,” followed by Arthur Sullivan’s “The Tempest.” The “Banquet Dance” and “Dance of Nymphs and Reapers” will be selected from the Sullivan work. Selections from John Williams’ fanciful soundtrack for the film “Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone” are next, recalling the 2001 movie. It has a part about “The Quidditch
S
Match” and another about the “Face of Voldemort.” Saint Saens’ “Cello Concerto” and “Romeo and Juliet Fantasy” complete this program. All but one of the orchestra’s programs will be performed at the Lone Tree Arts Center. The Feb. 18 Family Concert, “A Musical Petting Zoo,” will be presented at a location to be announced. The orchestra’s executive director, Rich Duston, said it will focus on the process of starting out to play and instrument and will be accessible to families. “It’s OK for kids to make noise,” Duston said, recalling concerts he’d done with the Aurora Symphony in the past. The first weekend in December, Dec. 2-3, will bring “Nutcracker and More” with James Beckel’s “A Christmas Fanfare,” followed by Bryan George Kelly’s “Improvisations on Christmas Carols.” Vocalist Heidi Schmidt will lead the audience in a Christmas sing-along. The Feb. 18 Family Concert, the show with the location still to be determined, will include “Peter and the Wolf,” the first movement from Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony,” John Williams’ rousing “Imperial March” and the finale from the “William Tell Overture.” This is the first

time in five years that the LTSO has performed a children’s concert, Duston said. March will bring Dvorak’s “Eighth Symphony” in a “Masterworks Concert” that will bring some of the greatest music from a number of composers.

Three productions part of theater adventures New season has strong offerings around area
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Princess Winnifred the Woebegone (the excellent Taylor Nicole Young) climbs up out of the moat after swimming across it. “Shy” is her first number, with the queen and wizard. Young can belt them out and soon follows with “The Swamps of Home.” Town Hall Arts Center has its season off to a live-wire start, under Robert Wells’ skilled direction. He really has a knack for staging the silly stuff. Kelly Kates’ choreography shines throughout — especially “The Spanish Panic.” Michael Duran’s scenic design suggests a castle’s architecture, with clever set pieces to add and subtract quickly. Music was recorded by Donna Debrecini. Costumes by Terri Fong are colorful and richly detailed. Lighting and sound are perfectly calibrated. A person sitting close to me said “I had a smile on my face the entire evening!”
We are told that 29 productions have opened — or will open — during September in the metro area, as the new theater season gets going. What’s a theater lover to do? Get up and go! We visited three in the past week, which varied considerably … ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ “Romp” is a good word to describe this funny spin on Hans Christian Anderson’s “Princess and the Pea.” “Once Upon a Mattress,” at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton through Oct. 2, introduces characters right up front, after a chorus of “We Have an Opening for a Princess.” Overbearing Queen Agravain seems a part just made for the talented comic LuAnn Buckstein, who bosses her wimpy son, Prince Dauntless (Mark Shonsey) endlessly. Mute (due to a curse) King Sextimus (Kevin Walton) chases a nubile young woman across the stage in the other direction (his special interest). Sir Harry (Zach Stailey) proposes going into the nearby Swampland in search of a suitable princess since the queen has rejected all candidates to date. No one in the kingdom can marry until the prince does! Soon, a dripping, seaweed-draped
‘Sister Act’ The Broadway musical “Sister Act,” set in 1977 Philadelphia, is based on the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg. It plays through Oct. 2 at the Arvada Center, with a strong, winning performance by Brit West as Deloris Van Cartier, an entertainer who has to go into hiding after she witnessed a murder. The police find her a secure place — in a nearby convent, where the Mother Superior (Megan VanDe Hey) will watch over her, aided by her nuns — who sing off-tune and are awkward

and shy. Deloris soon has the sisters rockin’ — which pleases the Monsignor O’Hara (Stephen Day) and alarms Mother Superior greatly. Farce ensues, with chases, gangsters, altar boys and lots of delightful music from the house band, led by David Nehls on keyboard. The energetic score is by Alan Menken, with gospel, Motown, soul and rock segments. Brian Mallgrave’s set worked smoothly throughout, as it moved around town. Costumes ranged from spangled showgirl to black nun’s habit and all had a place in the story. Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck choreographed and appeared as one of the sisters and Brianna Diaz is credited with the array of costumes, including one especially clever lightning-fast change on stage.

‘The Money Shot’ Our third show of the week, “The Money Shot” by Neil LaBute, plays through Sept. 24 at the Avenue Theater on 17th Avenue in Denver, where scripts get a bit edgy on occasion. Welldirected by Warren Sherrill, and with a competent cast of Suzie Scott, Stephen Krusoe, Timmi Lasley and Katie Cross, it tells a story of fading actors who are so desperate for work that they get involved in production of a pornographic film. (The title refers to that.) La Bute’s language and action is often dicey, but this is really out there. Be warned if you have sensitive ears or feelings. Or see it if you’re seeking a bit of adventure!

Museum highlights Japanese fashions ‘Shock Wave’ looks back at drama of 1980s, 1990s By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Step out of the elevator on the sixth floor of the North (Ponti) Building of the Denver Art Museum and enter a different world — one that tells a story about Japanese fashion design arriving in Paris in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and causing a major stir. In an introduction to gallery visitors at last week’s press preview, museum director Chistoph Heinrich observed that the “Shock Wave: Japanese Fashion Design 1980s-90s” exhibit marked “an epic moment in time when a dialogue between East and West turned around — when fashion was done for women to wear — instead of for men to look at.” Last year, Florence Muller joined the Denver Art Museum as Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art, Curator of Fashion. This is her first exhibition for the DAM, although Denver was familiar with her skills because she curated the extremely popular Yves St. Laurent fashion exhibit in 2012, while still a resident of Paris. Wearing a well-designed black dress, with red sandals and a detailed yellow handbag, she spoke initially of her adventure in assembling this exhibit. She will focus on fashion of the 21st century as she builds a collection for the DAM-beginning with some of the pieces we see in “Shock Wave.” The world of fashion was watching New York in the 1970s and 1980s when designers from Tokyo created a “shock wave,” Muller said in her exhibit commentary… This exhibition includes ‘70s looks by Issey Miyake, Kenzo Takada, Kansai Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garcons. “This exhibition will

trace the origins of the innovations that they created through the reinvention of textiles, silhouettes and even fashion brand identity,” Mueller said. Some designs flow from the Kimono tradition, while most seem unrelated. And they are worn with low-heeled shoes and no lipstick. Confrontations between Japanese and Parisian designers occurred. There are five thematic sections described by the museum: • How East Met West — How designers mixed Japanese forms and patterns with Western shapes and textiles and the intersection between tradition and modernity. • Japanese and Western Fashion Confronted — Showcases the contrast between Japanese and Western drapery techniques — molding the body versus hiding the body with oversized shapes. • Deconstruction/Reconstruction — Focuses on the creation of avantgarde shapes and textiles based on “deconstructing” and reinventing the traditional Western representation of femininity. Looks by Comme des Garcons, Junya Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto will exemplify how they overthrew standards in their approach to fabric cut and style. Some fabrics have been washed and harshly treated to get a worn effect. • Art and Fashion in Dialogue — Highlights the convergence of art and fashion through contemporary art, including photographs and rare publications as well as dance and film collaborations … pioneered a new form of media. • How West met East — Concludes the exhibition by reversing the first section, highlighting how the next wave of Western designers were inspired by the trends set by Japanese designers. Included: designs by Martin Margiela. Dries Van Noten, Helmut Lang and John Galliano. They continued the wave of the innovative Japanese aesthetic
IF YOU GO “Shock Wave: Japanese Fashion Design 1980s-90s” is on the sixth floor of the North (Ponti) Building at the Denver Art Museum until May 28, 2017. It is included in general admission. The museum is located in downtown Denver at 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway and more information is available at denverartmuseum.org. including conceptualism, minimalism, diverse ways of challenging the fashion system. Fashion show photography and video footage add interest as do designer catalogs and some furniture that shows Japanese influence. Mueller bought some pieces at auction and borrowed others from museums and individuals. Lenders Joan Agajanian Quinn of Los Angeles and Susan Damour of Denver were present at the press tour. Quinn said she met Japanese fashion at the American Embassy in Tokyo and brought an exhibit to the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Damour, regional administrator for the U.S. General Services Administration, Rocky Mountain Region, began her interest in art and fashion at an early age and the interest carries through to artworks displayed in the buildings she oversees. The visitor will want to savor this exhibit slowly to appreciate the intricate cutting that went into creating these clothes. The light is necessarily low so it won’t damage the fabrics and has the effect of slowing one down. But it also requires one to look closely to appreciate the deconstructed garments and details throughout. A 64-page exhibition catalog, written by Florence Muller and Jane Burke of the textile department, is available in the museum shop.

Outdoor goods chain opens in Parker Gander MTN opens Parker store with outdoors theme By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike and Rachael Sundeen have driven past the new Gander MTN store before, but the evening of Sept. 13 was the first time they saw people going in. Though they didn’t have an invitation for the exclusive pre-opening event, they said the store’s staff was welcoming. “We just saw people walking in, and they were very nice,” Mike said. “The staff said, ‘We’re not going to turn anybody away, come on in.’” Both Sundeens said they look forward to shopping for camping gear at the new store. “Obviously, they have a big inventory, big store, it offers a lot,” Mike said. “It’s nice to have it here in Parker.” The couple were among the first customers to see the new store’s interior at a “friends and family” sale. A ribbon-cutting ceremony preceded the official grand opening on the morning of Sept. 15, and the grand opening weekend continued through Sept. 18 with celebrity appearances and giveaways. Store manager Jeff Long said all of the store’s employees are outdoor enthusiasts who look forward to sharing their expertise with customers. Long grew up on the western slope as an avid camper and hunter. “We’re all about matching the individual with the appropriate gear,” Long said. “We’re a group that’s excited about the out-
“
doors and we look forward to sharing that passion with customers.” Gander MTN was founded in 1960 as a catalog retailer in Wilmot, Wisconsin, and has become a major national supplier of outdoor recreational goods. The store has 160 locations in 27 states, but the new location in the Crown Point development is one of only two stores in Colorado. The new outlet is a massive 57,600 square feet, requiring a staff of 87 to cover the area. Most of the store’s employees transferred from its previous location in Aurora, a store known as a leader in the chain. “I think it’s fortunate that we’re getting their best team,” said Dennis Houston, president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce. Houston referred to the Aurora store’s rating as the number one store for customer service in the Gander MTN network. The timing of the opening couldn’t be better, according to Houston and Long. Long said the store has “micro-seasons” throughout the year as customers focus on shopping for camping, fishing and hiking supplies, but fall is especially busy. “We’re about halfway through archery season,” Long said, “and we’re opening right before rifle and big game seasons.” The opening will also help fill the vacuum recently created by the closing of Sports Authority. “I think this will fill a void for some of those retail opportunities,” Houston said. Houston added that so far the store, the town and the chain are a good match. “They think they’ll be a good fit,” Houston said. “We do as well.”
We’re all about matching the individual with the appropriate gear.”

The reason the cookies are shaped like elephants is because Schiffman, along with HCI and the University of Utah, is conducting research into elephant DNA, which may unlock the cure to childhood cancer. Elephants almost never get cancer because they have 40 copies of a gene that prevents tumors; humans have only two. Parker Kneaders is at 19190 Mainstreet.

Cherry Creek downs Arapahoe Bruins surge to first-half lead, hold on to beat Warriors By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek mounted a touchdown drive on its second possession that set the tone as the Bruins controlled the tempo of play and led 21-3 at halftime. Arapahoe came out fired up in the second half but couldn’t close the gap as Cherry Creek won, 28-3, on Sept. 15. “We are happy to get this win and move on,” Bruins coach Dave Logan said. “We did some good things, particularly in the first half but didn’t play quite that well in the second half.

Basketball is the only high school team sport in the state without a mercy rule, but the Colorado High School Activities Association Board of Directors is scheduled to vote on adopting one at its Oct. 5 meeting. The proposed rule for boys and girls basketball would start a running clock if a team leads by 40 points or more at the end of the third quarter. The clock would stop only for timeouts or injuries. If the board adopts the mercy rule, it would be enforced for the 2016-17 season. Administrators Jim Benton and coaches are OVERTIME lining up on both sides. Those in favor of implementing the rule argue it could spare the losing team the humiliation of a major blowout. Those against the rule contend it takes time away from players who might not see action in a close game. “I’m in favor of it,” said Mark Duitsman, Lutheran girls basketball coach and athletic director. “I have been on both sides of a lopsided score and I see teachable moments in both circumstances, but I don’t see the rule impacting those lessons.” Many coaches don’t like the proposed rule change. “I’m not in favor of changes,” ThunderRidge boys coach Joe Ortiz said. “When we get up a lot on an opponent, we sub out. I hate giving up the playing time for our subs that don’t get very much playing time.” Cherry Creek girls coach Chris Curneen agrees. “Every minute of court time is valuable,” he said. “Once I get up by a comfortable margin, I usually use the extra minutes to get some of my younger players some valuable playing time.” Highlands Ranch girls coach Caryn Jarocki brings up another point against the mercy rule. “Teams can work on things regardless of the score and regardless of if they are winning or losing,” she said. “On a lesser note, the mercy rule affects teams in regard to the record books. All records have been derived from teams playing full games for a full season, not shortened ones. Those teams/players are essentially being penalized with shortened games.” Blue night scheduled It is gratifying when differences and rivalries are put aside in a show of support for a person or issue. Legacy received well wishes and support from schools in the state and outside of Colorado after the Sept. 11 crash that killed bus driver Kari Chopper.

The Castle View/Arapahoe team, made up of players 18 and under, was coached by Tim Walsh and notched a 2-1 title victory over Westminster Hyland Hills. Valor softball to face tests Thomas Jefferson and Valor Christian, two undefeated softball teams, played Sept. 17 in Highlands Ranch. Valor improved to 11-0 with another mercy-rule win and downed the Spartans (12-1) in a 12-2 non-league victory. In 11 games, the Eagles have outscored opponents 122-5 and coach Dave Atencio isn’t concerned that Valor hasn’t been tested yet. With Jeffco 4A league play starting, the Eagles play Wheat Ridge Sept. 22 and the Farmers were the only team to beat state champion Valor last season. “Our kids continue to play with poise and with determination,” Atencio said. “We start league play against rival Wheat Ridge. They are a formidable program and will give us all we can handle. D’Evelyn and Mullen will also be tough for us.” Nance goes out on top Coach Ralph Nance, who helped Faith Christian win the Class 3A baseball championship last spring, announced his retirement as baseball coach but will remain as the Eagles’ football coach. Jim Polson was hired to replace Nance as baseball coach. Polson has coached as an assistant at Pomona, Ralston Valley, Fairview and Mountain Range.

Lions post shutout against the Trojans Littleton records 3-0 soccer win over Thornton By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a matchup of young teams as Littleton and Thornton met in boys soccer on Sept. 16 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. Each team pushed the attack and each presented a stubborn defense. Thornton goalie Alex Bocanegra made three diving saves to keep the game scoreless early. Despite the play of Bocanegra and the defenders in front of him, Littleton won the game, 3-0. “We are a very young team this year,” Lions coach Pedja Vajzovic said. “There is a lot of inexperience on our varsity but they have soccer backgrounds, they are playing well and we se improvement in
our play every game.” He said there are no superstars on the team but the chemistry is good despite some unfortunate challenges. “Because of injuries and illness, it has not been possible to put the same starting lineup on the field two games in a row,” he said. “For example, we had two senior captains and have lost both of them to injuries. That has meant a couple of young kids had to step up and fill the gaps. This is our last non-league game so we must be ready next week because we are in a tough league and we know none of the upcoming games will be easy.” Key moments Littleton broke the scoreless tie late in the first half when Alexis Valles broke away from defenders and drove a low, line-drive shot into the net past the diving goalie. Littleton scored again on a
breakaway goal by Omar Serrano early in the second half. The final Lions’ score came with a little more than 20 minutes left in the game. Littleton’s attack drove in near the goal and Ethan Schwarz fired a shot at the net that caromed off a defender and into the goal to make the score 3-0. Thornton was awarded a penalty shot for a foul in the goalie box with seven seconds left on the clock. Trojan goalie Bocanegra took the shot. He drilled a line drive shot at the corner of the net but Lion goalie Kevin Gutierrez dove and deflected the shot back up the field to preserve the shutout. Key players/statistics Schwarz, Valles and Serrano were each credited with unassisted goals. The Lions took 16 shots on goal and Gutierrez made six saves.

We knew we were physical and we were explosive and, while they played hard and played well, we got the win,” he said. “I had a good game, but I thought I could have blocked a little better to support my teammates so they could gain more yardage running the ball.” Arapahoe coach Mike Campbell said it was a tough loss to a very solid, well-coached team. “I was disappointed about how we came out in the first half,” he said. “I felt we were intimidated on the offensive side of the ball in the first two
periods. We talked about it at halftime and I was pleased to see we played with a lot more fire in the second half and there were a couple times when we almost got into the end zone. Now we have to regroup for another tough game because all the games are tough at this point in the season.” Going forward Both teams have two more non-league games before starting league play. Arapahoe opens play in the Mount Massive League Oct. 6 against Overland and Cherry Creek opens Mount Elbert League play Oct. 7 at home against Fossil Ridge.

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”
Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer
Denver- Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain? Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake. Sounds crazy? Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life. When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again. Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state? Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy.
And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in theory exercising should help knee arthritis. But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs. Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes. Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out. You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either. What’s the answer? In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary. With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated. The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis. But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid
Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.
directly into your knee joint. This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many experts believe it helps lubricate the joint. Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain. And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with
less or no pain - specific exercises can be a tremendous help. That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain. This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results. So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse - you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse. And that’s the last thing you want to do. What are the two “smart moves?” If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic. If you are thinking about
giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technology such as fluoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections. Research shows that without fluoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work. If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 720-500-1045.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver
After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go. If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now. Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief. Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program. The SecretTo Success? The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy. Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating. This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment. And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed. What Is This Treatment? This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this... When you have knee arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.
This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most
Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”
Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of holistic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months.

They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.
