District re-examines graduation guidelines
Class of 2021 will be first to graduate under new rules, which allow for more flexibility
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
New graduation requirements are coming to Colorado high schools, and Littleton
Public Schools is working to stay ahead of the state. The new guidelines will begin next school year with ninth-graders who will graduate in 2021 and will provide students with more options to fulfill English, math, science and social science requirements. The Colorado Department of Education began developing new graduation guidelines after a 2007 state Legislature bill mandated it, and established them last
year. Now, local jurisdictions must adopt requirement that meet or exceed state guidelines. The new state guidelines give districts leeway to allow students to demonstrate math and English competency in different ways, such as by taking tests. LPS Superintendent Brian Ewert said the district plans to have its new policy in place well before the end of this school year in order to give incoming ninth-
RISING TO THE OCCASION
graders and their parents maximum time to prepare. He hopes that the LPS Board of Education will adopt the new guidelines by the end of October. According to the CDE, about 75 percent of jobs in the state will require some form of post-secondary education or training by 2020, and 40 percent of students enter college unprepared for their classes.

Suspect shot by homeowner, arrested Trevor Cecchettini faces multiple charges after Centennial incident Staff report A Centennial homeowner acting in self-defense shot an armed man who faces multiple charges after an Oct. 3 confrontation, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. The suspect, Trevor Cecchettini, 43, of Denver, was arrested on suspicion of illegal discharge of a firearm, felony menacing and offenses relating to marijuana. He was treated at a local hospital for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, then released into the custody of the sheriff’s office. He was being held at the Arapahoe County jail on $25,000 bond as of Oct. 4.
The homeowner, whose name has not been released, will not face charges, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman said. The incident that led to Cecchettini’s arrest occurred at about 8 a.m. Oct. 3. Deputies were called to a home in the 14700 block of East Aberdeen Avenue on a report of criminal mischief, the sheriff’s office Cecchettini stated in a news release. The homeowner told deputies a man, identified as Cecchettini, was stabbing the tires on a boat trailer parked in his driveway, while claiming he “owned the street.” The homeowner said he went outside to confront the man, who then charged at him, prompting the homeowner to go back inside and retrieve a gun. Cecchettini, armed with a handgun
and knife, attempted to break into the home, the news release states. The homeowner then fired two rounds through the door at Cecchettini, striking him at least once. Cecchettini fired shots back at the homeowner, who was not struck, according to the release. Cecchettini then fled the area before being stopped by a deputy in the 15000 block of East Orchard Road, the sheriff’s office said. At the crime scene, investigators reported finding about two pounds of marijuana that they believe the suspect brought to the area. Deputies also say they found a gun and a knife and discovered knife damage to the boat trailer’s tires. Investigators do not believe there was any prior connection between the victim and the suspect and believe it was a random incident.
Centennial is the next Ting town, which means it will have what the company calls “crazy fast Internet.” Ting, a wireless service provider launched in 2012 by Tucows, provides gigabit fiber optic internet infrastructure — which enables the transfer of data at faster speeds —and internet access to smaller towns and cities in the U.S., including nearby Westminister; Sandpoint, Idaho; and Charlottesville, Virginia. Centennial will be the largest Ting town to date, with a population of more than 107,000. “Having Centennial as Ting Internet’s first Colorado market is an honor and one that we are very excited about,” Mayor Cathy Noon said in a media release from Ting. “The critical infrastructure has been in place throughout the city, we just needed the opportunity to partner with an organization such as Ting to provide service to our residents and businesses.” A demand assessment by Ting is underway and pre-orders are being accepted on ting.com/centennial. Network construction is expected as early as 2017, pending demand. Ting looks at a series of factors when picking its Ting towns, including the availability of a fiber backbone, population, density and local permitting. Elliot Noss, CEO of Tucows, said in the media release that Centennial has been refreshing to work with. “Centennial’s approach to partnering with Ting has been excellent. They have found a great balance between being business-friendly while deeply serving Ting continues on Page 6

Classes designed to pump you up Weightlifting to music keeps up quick pace By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media The Lone Tree Recreation Center recently began offering residents of the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District a new class to get pumped up. The Bodypump class, which started in Centennial earlier in the year, adds a new type of high-energy weightlifting to the center’s class offerings. “It’s a nice addition to our fitness program here at Lone Tree and with South Suburban,” said Peggy Golden, Bodypump certified instructor. “We started it at Goodson Recreation Center in January, and it took off like gangbusters. The people who take the class, they just love it.” The theme of the fast-paced weight-
lem or injury. Anybody can do it, and we don’t have anything like this in our fitness program,” she said. “The first time you try it, do half a class, and then come back and try half the class plus a little bit more.” In addition to general fitness, lifting helps slow the loss of muscle mass as the body ages. At 56 years old, Golden said that the workout has helped her both physically and mentally, and though she describes the work out as “killer,” she says that it is also the kind of program that anyone can ease into regardless of age. “It’s very manageable for any age group,” she said. Participants can sign up for a class at the rec center up to 24 hours in advance. Initially Golden plans to hold five classes per week, and plans additional sessions later this year once more instructors have received certifications.

lifting class set to music includes multiple repetitions with low weights, isolating each muscle group for five minutes and working them to fatigue. Participants use barbells, or beginners can work the routines with either dumbbells or just their own body weight. “You work various parts of your body. You start out with squats and then you move to the chest area. There is a back track, biceps, triceps, lunges and a shoulder track. Abs at the end,” Golden said. Golden recommends two Bodypump workouts each week as the strength component of a three-part regimen, which includes a core training component found in yoga and Pilates classes along with cardiovascular conditioning such as biking, swimming or running. “I don’t see anyone who couldn’t try this class unless they had a joint prob-
Uncorked Kitchen, which offers an interactive dining experience in Centennial, is hosting its first fall festival celebration this October. The event also marks one year for the family-owned business. “It’s our first run at what we envision to be an amazing community event where people can come, have fun, taste some great food and learn some great things in the kitchen,” said Katie Robbins, who co-owns the business with her husband, Eric. Uncorked Kitchen, 8171 S. Chester St., is a kitchen and wine bar where professional chefs work side-by-side with guests. A few of the kitchen’s events include private parties, cooking classes, date nights and wine pairings. The fall festival is scheduled for Oct. 15. From 2 to 6 p.m., families are invited to a free event featuring live music, food and spirit tastings, and pumpkin decorating for children. There will be a ticketed event from 6-8 p.m., featuring hors d’oeuvres and a cocktail party followed by an Uncorked Chef Showdown, where Uncorked’s four professional chefs will participate in an Iron Chef-style competition. Guests will get to sample the chef’s creations and torch their own crème brulee. Tickets will go on sale Oct. 1 at $150 per person, with $50 per ticket going toward the Cancer League of Colorado in memory of Mary Koert, Katie Robbins’ mother.

Johnson makes first stop in Colorado Libertarian candidate draws capacity crowd at CU South Denver
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com In his first campaign stop in Colorado, Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson tried to chart a course for libertarianism as a centrist position rather than one at the fringes of politics. “I think my stance on the issues is actually reflective of most Americans,” the former Republican governor of New Mexico repeated several times to reporters as well as to the crowd at his Oct. 3 rally at CU South Denver, just west of Parker. “That being: fiscally conservative, socially inclusive, skeptical of wars, skeptical of military interventions, regime change and supporting free markets,” he continued. Johnson noted that he and his running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, were both re-elected as Republican governors in Democratic-majority states. Johnson has polled well in Colorado, the birthplace of the national Libertarian Party, where the leading presidential candidates, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, are unpopular. He received 1.38 percent of the state’s vote in 2012, and in a CNN poll conducted Sept. 20-25 he got 13 percent among likely voters. Johnson used the rally to hit Trump on two of his signature issues of restricting immigration and free trade, criticize Clinton on her record of supporting military interventions as a senator and the secretary of state, and praise Colorado for embracing personal freedom by legalizing marijuana. Mentions of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which says candidates must poll an average of 15 percent in five pre-selected national polls, drew boos from the crowd, which Johnson joined. “I am actually polling higher than Ross

The former governor of New Mexico made his pitch to disaffected Republicans and Democrats, saying he believes most Americans broadly agree with his ideas.a w Photo by Kyle Harding Perot was polling when he was allowed into the debates,” he said, referencing the independent candidate who received nearly 19 percent of the nationwide popular vote in 1992. He also pushed back against the idea that voting for third-party candidate is a wasted vote. “A wasted vote is voting for somebody you don’t believe in,” he said.
Johnson addressed his recent gaffes — not recognizing the city of Aleppo in Syria or being able to name a foreign leader he admires — and the idea that he is an unserious candidate for voters concerned about foreign policy by saying that other politicians who can name foreign leaders or citizens have gotten the U.S. involved in military entanglements in the Middle East.
“We arm the Free Syrian Army, those arms end up in the hands of the Islamists,” he said. “We support the Kurds against the Islamists but the Kurds are sideways with our Turkish allies, who aren’t such good allies since we invaded Iraq,” he said. Johnson said it should be as easy as

Real men wear pink Campaign raises breast cancer awareness among men
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Breast cancer, a disease generally associated with women, also impacts the lives of many men: Raymond Mencini, a breast radiologist at St. Anthony Hospital, diagnosed his wife with breast cancer seven years ago. Denver resident John Dye’s wife was first diagnosed with breast cancer 25 years ago, just one month after the couple married. Highlands Ranch resident Marvin Kokes lost his mother to breast cancer when she was 62 years old. These men are part of a new Real Men Wear Pink campaign to bring awareness about breast cancer in the community of men and raise money for the American Cancer Society. This October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — 19 prominent men throughout Denver will sport the color pink every day as well as raise a minimum of $2,500 each. The money will go towards the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Oct. 23 and, ultimately, towards research on the disease. “It’s an important cause,” Mencini said, “until we eradicate it.” About one in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer — which means the cancer has grown into the body’s normal tissue — over the course of her lifetime, Breastcancer.org reports. In 2016, an estimated 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women, along with 61,000 new cases of non-invasive — also called in situ — breast cancer. This type of breast cancer stays within the milk ducts in the breast. Men are also at risk. In 2016, the American Cancer Society estimates about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be
diagnosed among men and about 440 men will die from the disease. “It’s not just a women’s disease,” said Cristina Johnson, community manager of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. “Both men and women can be affected.” Mencini, medical director of St. Anthony Breast Center, saw a different, more personal side of breast cancer when his wife, Gail, battled it. She’s now a seven-year survivor. “It’s a passion for me that women get the best, most compassionate care they can,” said Mencini, who is also chairman of the Centura Health Physician Group board. A huge part of the fight against breast cancer is attitude and having a support system, Gail said. She spends a lot of time talking to patients. “You get this big ‘C’ diagnosis and it’s terrifying,” she said. “You don’t know what to do.” Mencini wears a pink tie every day, he said, so continuing it through the month of October will not be difficult. Dye, executive vice president and general counsel of Western Union, was 27 and newly married when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. The disease had spread to her lymph nodes and doctors gave her a 30 to 40 percent chance of survival. She’s been cancer-free for 25 years. The disease affected everything, from having kids to their quality of life, Dye said. The couple ended up using surrogate pregnancy to have children. “It’s a challenge for spouses as well,” Dye said. “People need advice — they need advocates.” Which is why it’s easy for him to support the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, he said. Kokes, senior vice president of industry and member services for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, is shopping to expand his pink wardrobe for the campaign, he said. He’s also considering painting his office pink. Kokes grew up on a ranch east of Sterling, about 128 miles from Denver. His mother died of breast cancer about 14 years ago.

Breast cancer typically produces no symptoms when a tumor is small and most easily treated, the American Cancer Society says, which is why it’s so important for women to follow screening guidelines:
“She was the matriarch of the family,” Kokes said. “She raised six kids.” The research and effort it takes to find a cure for the disease requires money, he said. He saw the campaign as an opportunity to give back. “Cancer,” he said, “touches everyone — from all walks of life.”

possible to immigrate to find a better life. “I recognized in 2012 that 30 percent of Republicans believe the scourge of the earth is Mexican immigration, and it is my voice in 2012 saying this is a political bogeyman,” he said. “It doesn’t exist. It’s made up. Immigration is really a good thing.” “The main reason that there are 11 million undocumented workers in this country is because you can’t get a work visa,” he continued. While Johnson made his pitch to defectors on both sides of the aisle by acknowledging a need for a social safety

the needs of their citizens. They understand how these need not be in conflict,” he said. According to the release, Ting is looking to serve businesses and multifamily housing, such as apartments and condos, where internet is an included amenity for residents. Ting Internet will enable faster and more affordable services for residents and businesses just as the Master Fiber Plan intended, said Mayor Pro Tem and District 4 Councilmember C.J. Whelan
October 7, 2016 net, a national defense and a discussion of how to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, he also threw out red meat for the Libertarian faithful with harsh criticism of the government’s monetary policy, surveillance and criminal justice. To cheers, he announced that, based on what he knows, he would pardon NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and said that he believes drug prohibition drives violence. People at the rally sported shirts or buttons with a wide variety of unofficial campaign slogans, including “Make America Sane Again.” Nolon Cochron, of Milliken, wearing a “Veterans for Johnson” T-shirt, said that he came to the Libertarian Party from the conservative side and the biggest issue for him is scandals within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
in the media release. The city’s Fiber Optic Master Plan — designed by Magellan Advisors, a broadband planning consulting firm, and the city’s Fiber Steering Committee, comprised of Whelan, District 3 Councilmember Ken Lucas and District 4 Councilmember Stephanie Piko — calls for a fiber backbone being laid throughout the city in the upcoming years. The backbone, or core infrastructure of underground dark fiber optic cable, can be compared to a regional airport with multiple airlines — it’s a government-funded infrastructure that private sectors and companies, such as Ting, use to provide services. In this case, it will allow Ting to provide “crazy fast Internet.”
“I’ve heard both parties want to take care of veterans and when they say they want to take care of veterans, I haven’t seen it,” the Marine Corps veteran said. Unlike many Johnson supporters, Cochron, 35, does not consider himself to be completely anti-war. “I’m not a radical Libertarian,” he said. Coming from the other end of the political spectrum was Sam Short of Fountain, a former Bernie Sanders backer. “I stand very much where (Johnson) stands with personal liberties,” said Short, 23, who registered as a Democrat to support Sanders but said that he will switch his affiliation to the Libertarian Party. Johnson knows the presidency isn’t in the cards for a third-party candidate. But he described his end-game before the rally. “To ruin the two-party system,” he said.
District Continued from Page 1
While a traditional approach to moving on to higher education after graduation has driven much of high school class choices, the guidelines the board of education is considering gives weight to other options. For instance, teacher cadet or business communication classes could substitute for English elective requirements, or auto technology or accounting for math requirements, giving students in career and technical education programs more opportunity to have those classes count toward graduation requirements. “I hear a lot of enthusiasm for these options,” Ewert said. Clay Abla, LPS director of secondary education, said the board of education will have to approve a final plan that will include which classes students can use as substitutes for English, math, science and social science content areas. “We have not identified every course that will or won’t count,” he said. Under the guidelines, one semester of physical education could also be substituted by playing sports or performing in the marching band.

Abla said the district’s goal is for 100 percent of graduating students to be prepared for “meaningful post-secondary opportunities.” What that means varies from student to student. “Our goal is we want every student to be able to pursue their pathway,” Abla said. But students will have to have some idea of what that means for them, as they will be required to complete Individual Career and Academic Plans to graduate. “In the past, it’s only been recommended that they do an ICAP,” Abla said. While the vast majority, about 90 percent, of LPS students graduate high school in the traditional four-year timeframe, there may be students with learning disabilities, come from impoverished backgrounds or are Englishlanguage learners who take longer. The district currently has about a 97 percent or 98 percent graduation rate — which is well above the state average — when the timeframe is extended for a seven-year, instead of a four-year, period. “I think it’s perfectly acceptable for us to have those kids for five or six years,” Ewert said. He would like to see all students wellprepared for college or the workforce. “I never think it’s OK if you’re in the 2 or 3 percent that’s not prepared,” he said.

A picture is worth a thousand memories OK, so maybe the saying is, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” For me, the words that people have shared with me over the years have certainly shaped my life in so many ways. And as a visual learner, pictures have enhanced my learning moments and my ability to retain information at an even greater level. And now as we live in a world of constant instant photography moments lived out through selfies, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and other social media resources, we have unlimited access to take and view photographs and videos. Are we taking those photos and selfies to promote ourselves in an effort to say to the internet world, “Hey look at me, here I am?” Or are we taking our photos and videos to preserve a slice of personal or family history and memories in an otherwise “me” focused world? In a recent “clean up and clean out” event in our home we came across boxes and boxes of old photographs. We found picture frames that once adorned the walls of our home that still contained the still moments of our active lives captured on film. Christmas, birthdays, skiing, golf, first lost teeth, fireworks, hikes, and even emergency room visits for those first broken wrists or bumps and bruises. We also found black-and-white photos from grandparents and great uncles and aunts who played such loving roles in our lives. What should have taken just a few hours of “clean up and clean out” turned into two days of walking down a beautiful, happy and sometimes sad memory lane. As images are shared with me via text
or email, through my news feed or through social media, I still find myself more attracted to the tangible photos found in the storage bins of my basement. And even more than those physical photos and videos, I find myself really falling back in love with the Michael Norton memories, images, and the photo album WINNING in my head and in my WORDS heart. A picture really is worth a thousand memories. Maybe I have been blessed with a betterthan-average memory, although with each year that passes by my memory seems to get stronger, it also gets incredibly shorter. However, I am so thankful and feel so very blessed that I can still close my eyes and see those moments that shaped my life so vividly and so clearly. Whether we took a photo or not, the memories firmly planted in my head and in my heart are worth far more to me than any instant image or selfie that I have shared or that has been shared with me. It’s been said that technology has replaced our ability to remember things only because we no longer have to rely on our memory — we can simply store or save telephone numbers, favorites, photos, and anything else in a computers, tablets and smart phones. Now instead of calling some-
one from memory, we just push a button and we are instantly connected. If we ever find ourselves without our phone or contact database, we are just out of luck, while in the past we knew exactly how to reach those we needed at the time when we needed them. So for me, it’s just like a picture or an image. Whether we take a picture with a phone or a camera, or we simply watch and absorb the moments, storing them in our personal memory bank, it comes down to the relevance, beauty, grandeur or even simplicity of what we want to choose to capture and remember. It really has been a beautiful life, lived in a beautiful world full of blessings and miracles. It has also been a tough life lived through conflicts and personal and public battles. And even though in some cases pictures can remind us of exactly what happened, the memories held closely in our head and in our hearts are sometimes so much more intimate and powerful. A picture truly is worth a thousand memories. How about you? Are you allowing yourself to live life and relive life through the lens of your memories or the lens of a camera or smart phone? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can appreciate the beautiful moments of our lives through shared memories instead of just shared photos, it really will be a better than good week.

Nothing like an equinox to bring some equanimity “We’ve got to have a fall-guy.” That’s what hardboiled detective Sam Spade says in author Dashiell Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon.” Spade, I’m your man. My disposition falls forward at this time of the year, and no leaf Craig Marshall Smith goes unturned. QUIET Albert Camus said, DESPERATION “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” From the autumnal equinox to the day that we will have to change our clocks next March (why?), I can be seen without a scowl, which is a rarity in the summer, when the dog and I both pant.
When I lived east of Colorado, fall meant that the unbearable humidity had come to an end. When I lived west of Colorado, fall meant that Arizona was no longer someone’s sick joke about the weather. But even more than weather changes, fall is a great time to look back. On the year, and on my life. And to filter as many negative thoughts as I can about both of them. Autumn is a quiet time of the year, even quieter than winter, which can howl at you with a tall blizzard whenever it feels like it. And it’s a lot quieter than summer, which gets drunk on fireworks and block parties. Inside, my home it’s different too. The air conditioning is not running all the time, for one thing. I like to get out the long-sleeved shirts and sweaters, and to wear long pants again, and not look like a 60-something who wants to look like a 20-something. Smith continues on Page 11

Checking smoke alarms is huge boost for safety With October here, changing leaf color, pumpkin-flavored everything and cozying up by the fire are a few things that come to mind. October also means special attention to promoting safety during Fire Prevention Week, which is Oct. 9-15 this year. Fire Prevention Week always falls in the week of Oct. 9, which is the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This historic fire was so tragic and destructive that the Fire Marshals Association decided to start Fire Prevention Week in 1922 so these devastating events would never happen again. Did you know that smoke alarms can expire? It’s true. Just like the milk in your fridge has an expiration, so do your smoke alarms. That’s the nature of the theme for the National Fire Protection Association’s Fire Prevention Week 2016: “Don’t Wait — Check the Date! Replace
Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years.” Smoke alarms are a life-saving technology but are easily forgotten. Too often we only replace the batteries when the alarm chirps Art Morales or we might even unplug it LIVING AND altogether to stop that anAGING WELL noying noise. Yet, according to the National Fire Protection Association, smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a fire in half, since most fire deaths are from smoke inhalation.
Smoke alarms alert you as soon as they sense smoke or detect particles in the air, depending on the type of alarm. Modern smoke alarms are also interconnected throughout the house, meaning that a fire in your basement doesn’t have to spread to your bedroom for your bedroom alarm to sound. Fire Prevention Week 2016 recognizes and recommends this life-saving technology. You can determine the age of your smoke alarms by checking on the back or side of them for their manufacture dates. If it is time to change your smoke alarms, it is best to get the newer interconnected system as it provides the highest degree of alerting, giving you more time to get to safety more quickly. This year’s theme is especially important for those who live in older homes or those who have lived in their homes for more than 10 years and have not
replaced their smoke alarms. A caution for seniors: Don’t be tempted to climb up a ladder to check a smoke alarm. We recommend getting help from a family member, friend, handyman or electrician to change your units. Here are a few more fire safety tips: • When using a portable heater in the colder months, make sure it is at least three feet away from anything that can burn. • Use a heater with an automatic shutoff feature just in case it gets knocked over. • If you enjoy candles in your home, make sure to keep them away from curtains or combustibles, keep an eye on them when lit and always blow them out before leaving the room. Art Morales has been the fire chief for Castle Rock Fire and Rescue for 13 years. He has been a firefighter since 1979.

In addition to the citizenship class, the center, located in Bemis Library, offers legal assistance and English as a second language courses. Petula McShiras, supervisor of the center, said that the naturalization ceremony is the culmination of months or even years of studying for their citizenship interview, during which they must pass a test on speaking, reading and writing English as well as an oral exam on American civics.

I’ll give you an idea about my change in temperament. I made an online appointment to renew my driver’s license. I don’t know how you feel about going to the Department of Motor Vehicles, but I would truthfully rather have a root canal (I have had two). But this time would be different. Correct? Not really. I was sent to the wrong DMV. “We don’t do renewals by appointment here.” “Has this happened before?” “All the time.” My choices were to take a number. It looked like my area code. Or hurry to the other DMV, and take my chances, knowing that I was going to be late. I decided to take my chances. On the way I thought it over. Was I going to be pre-autumnal equinox Craig?
Parker Democrats meets at 7 p.m. the third Tuesday of each month for discussion of timely topics, led by knowledge-
Stephenson said that it was important to her that she be a citizen of the same country as her husband and kids. “Now I have a voice and the ability to make a change one vote at a time,” she said. Francisco Montenegro Carrera has lived in the U.S. for six years. The native Guatemalan said that he wanted to become a citizen because he loves America. The group took their oath from Aurora Immigration Court Judge Elizabeth McGrail and were welcomed by a video message from President Obama. Mayor Pro Tem Debbie Brinkman encouraged them to be socially and politically engaged in their adopted country and exercise their newfound right to vote. “Your journey doesn’t end with this ceremony, it begins,” she said. Sen. Cory Gardner sent his regional director, Andrew Dunkley, to the ceremony to read a letter of congratulations from the senator and offer his own remarks. “We gain 40 brothers and sisters and fellow Americans tonight,” Dunkley said. I decided against it, and it worked. An extremely helpful DMV employee took me to the head of the line. I think if I had gone in there with my summer scowl, things might have been different. My inclination is to fit in with what Robert Hughes referred to as “The Culture of Complaint.” You may have noticed. I have said over and over that I am not Mother Teresa. I should point out that I am working with my sixth therapist. For some reason, the other five all moved and didn’t leave forwarding addresses. Anyway, Number Six wants me to work on letting things go, especially things that I can’t control, and I can’t control anything. I told her that the minute I walk out the front door, I encounter the unpolished human animal who does not even know how to use a turn signal. But autumn is on, and I am off of my fault-finding duties. Mostly. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Pumpkin is everywhere, from lattes to pies to bread By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com
M
any people may think of pumpkin-flavored drinks and food as nothing more than the seasonal fad that comes around each fall. For others it’s simply an exalted, or sensationalized, latte flavor. But not so fast. According to Denver-metro chef Jason Morse and Arvada nutritionist Jess Sorci, pumpkin has real benefits in both the kitchen and your diet. “It’s hardy, it’s durable, it’s a good fall flavor,” Morse said. Morse has worked as a chef for 22 years. He is currently a chef and grill expert with ACE Hardware and owns 5280 Culinary. Whether cooking a bread pudding, a pie, a cheesecake, or even making a blizzard, there’s always a good way to work it into a recipe, he said. Plus, there are many ways to cook with pumpkin that people don’t often think about. Pumpkin ravioli, gnocchi or fettuccine make for great dishes, he said. In Morse’s words, pumpkin is a flavor that crosses over nicely between sweet and savory. It can also be used in a stew or pasta recipe. “I think you could definitely use it year round,” he said. His advice when cooking is to be sure that canned pumpkin is 100 percent the real deal. Or, he said, purchase a small and firm pumpkin-pie pumpkin to split and roast.
FUN FACTS ABOUT PUMPKINS • In 2014, U.S. farmers produced 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins in the top six states. • The top six pumpkin-producing states are: Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and California. • The largest pumpkin pie ever made was 20 feet in diameter and weighed 3,699 pounds. Sources: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Guinness World Records “And,” he said, “don’t be afraid to experiment.” Pumpkin’s nutritional benefits are well worth it, said Sorci, a master nutrition therapist. Pumpkin is nutrient-dense, she said, meaning it is high in nutrients but low in calories. It’s also a great source of fiber, protein, antioxidants and vitamins A and C. “I think pumpkin often gets overlooked,” she said. Antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin protect the eyes from UV rays, while pumpkin’s potassium helps lower blood pressure. According to Sorci, 100 grams of pumpkin seeds is about 30 grams of protein. Back to cooking, Sorci has some tips of her own. “You can actually use pumpkin puree in place of butter and oil in baking,” she said.
Pumpkin cheesecake By chef Jason K. Morse, C.E.C., 5280 Culinary, LLC Crust 2 cups gingersnaps, crushed 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1 stick butter, melted 2 tablespoons hickory smoked salt In a medium mixing bowl, add the crushed gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and smoked salt. Mix well until all butter is absorbed by the crumbs. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch spring form pan with non-stick cooking spray. Press crumb mixture into bottom of pan. Filling 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese 1 can pumpkin puree 4 whole eggs 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup sour cream 1-1/2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons vanilla paste 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and allow to soften for 20 minutes. Using a hand mixer with paddles beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla paste and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth. Topping 1 tablespoon hickory smoked salt
Chef Jason Morse routinely uses pumpkin in his recipes. Pictured here is his pumpkin cheesecake. Courtesy photo Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour cheesecake batter into the pan over the crust and allow the batter to settle. Place in the oven on the middle rack and cook for 45 minutes. Check the cheesecake, then continue to cook in 10-minute increments until done, approximately 60-75 minutes. Cheesecake should have a firm center with a slight amount of wiggle. Once the cheesecake is set, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes, and then top with smoked salt. Place in refrigerator to cool for at least four hours. Serve well chilled.

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 viscosupplementation 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 Hologic Digital Imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors. How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-
swered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief
Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours. If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain? So call 720-500-1045 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community. And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 720-500-1045.
If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

a cousin who lives in this area and has visited there. The title painting has been shown before at a Colorado Watercolor Society exhibit, and there’s a newer version as well. The watercolor painting called “The New West” was created in her studio after a trip to the East Coast to visit family and friends. “It’s not a particular place,” she said, but came from her active imagination. “I went back to it after a year and decided `it needs a little dark and a little red.’” She has often painted “en plein air” — out of doors — over the years, but chooses to use watercolors because acrylic paint dries too quickly.

Whether it’s in her light, sunny home studio or on a village street in Germany, Littleton artist rita dejue, now an active octogenarian, sees color and composition — and sketches scenes and details in her notebook, with color notes and other comments. A large display of her sketchbooks and a video about her work fills part of a gallery in her new exhibit. At times, she also creates small watercolor works outdoors, but the large paintings in her new exhibit at the Littleton Museum, “The Best Roads Lead Uphill,” were painted in her studio. They are filled with exuberant color and a careful look reveals precise composition, although they appear to be spontaneous and carefree. Derjue cites “Switzerland,” a watercolor painted onsite in 2013, as her favorite in this show. Painted in the north part of Switzerland, near the German border, “there was a wonderful mountain range and beautiful green in the valley. When I finished it, I said: `This came out the way I wanted it to — gradation of color, essence of the deeper valley.’” She has

Breast cancer affects us all, and early detection can save lives. There is no cure for breast cancer, but mammograms can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. Every woman, beginning at age 40, should schedule a mammogram and a physical every year. Women should also perform a thorough breast self-exam once a month. Help spread awareness in your community by educating your neighbors and friends on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and encourage the women you know to schedule a mammogram today.

She started using acrylics many years ago, when working on her master’s degree at Cornell University. At that time, one bought powder and a medium and mixed them. “I still have some powders and medium (polyvinyl acetate). In upstate New York, they were slow to dry.” In a booklet, beautifully designed by the museum’s exhibition curator Kevin Oehler after several interview sessions, she talks about inspiration from travel. Best spot for inspiration? “Are you joking? Out of 215 places? Well, Paris, Munich and Central Europe for history of art and museums. Mexico in 1957-58 for the culture and a climate conducive to painting. Then, China in 1982, for its heritage of architecture and landscapes …” Abstract Expressionism was the most important influence, she adds, particularly the German painter Hans Hoffman. Then the “Fauves”: Matisse, Derain, Dufy and Der Blaue Reiter in Germany and Die Brucke in France and Germany in 1900, especially Gabriele Munter and August Macke …

The sixth annual Zombie Crawl and Pig Roast on Oct. 1 was sponsored by the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association. Hundreds of zombies took part, beginning at Woodlawn Shopping Center, with some joining in late as the
crawl approached the parking lot of the Reinke Bros. costume shop, where it ended with the pig roast. Greg Reinke, president of the merchants association, said the crawl is a family-friendly event that always draws a large crowd. “This is such a fun one to do,” he said.

“Plumber: The Story of Microhistory,” “Royal Genealogy and Territory of an Ancient Mixtec Kingdom in Oaxaca, Mexico” and “Denver’s Brick Sewers,” by Littleton historical consultant and Historic Littleton Inc. president Gail Keeley. What do these topics have in common?
LOOK AT THE PAST Littleton historical consultant Gail Keeley will talk about a professional project she carried out: a historic impact assessment of Denver’s brick sewers. It was needed as the Colorado Department of Transportation and the City of Denver were planning and rebuilding streets and ran across these sewers under Broadway and elsewhere. What lines were still there and of what size? In 1966, the National Historic Preservation Act passed, stating that if you have national funding, you must assess impact on historic property — including property beneath the surface. (Like the environmental impact studies we are probably more aware of.) There was an independent history of a line under Alameda, but not of the whole system, and the sewers were interesting for their craftsmanship as well as locations, Keeley said. She has specialized in transportation-related subjects (including Union Station, nine years; I-25 corridor, 10 years) and was hired to do this study. Some were three rings of brick for large storm sewers and there were smaller
They are among the many subjects to be explored by more than two dozen speakers at the first Colorado History Camp on Nov. 12 at the Tivoli on Metro State University’s campus in downtown Denver. Plan to spend the day. Local history nerd Carrie Lund learned about the original Boston History Camp last year and attended it, with the thought of organizing a similar program for Denver. Mike Massey, from the Historic Littleton Inc. board, met her at a Historic

lines used as sanitary sewers. (A ring or two or three rings of bricks and Portland cement.) The largest in place today is on 40th Street between Blake and Wynkoop, she said. (They measured up to 120 inches.) She identified 961 separate segments: 53 miles of brick storm sewers and 23 miles of sanitary sewers. Originally, they all dumped into the South Platte River, Keeley said — as they did elsewhere in the country, until cholera became a big concern (1868-1879 in Denver). People suffered dehydration, chills and died in a couple of days. “We take sewers so for granted today,” Keeley said. When everyone had outhouses, contamination accumulated in the ground. The Rocky Mountain News wrote “the ground beneath is so thoroughly impregnated with filth …” In 1872, Denver had its first piped water. In 1879, there was a vote to establish a public water system. (1,158, yes; 340, no.) Primary treatment started in 1937, secondary treatment in 1967. Attend Keeley’s Colorado History Camp presentation to learn more — including about the false teeth…

Art adds power to healing place Hospital gallery helps spark peace, serenity By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The healing power of art has been recognized for centuries — visual arts to look at (and to create) and musical arts as well. The Castle Rock Hospital Foundation sponsors a program, Healing Arts, which integrates art into healing at the Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. A dedicated gallery is located on the 1 corridor that connects the hospital’s medical building with the core area, according to Jude Keller, who works with the community artists, as does artist Mary Williams of Castle Pines, who coordinates exhibits in the other Adventist hospitals in the area — Littleton, Parker and Porter. The goal in integrating the arts into health care is “creating an environment not just to treat illness, but to provide an inspiration for living … From music to massage, to paintings and sculptures, the Healing Arts Program offers many expressions of art to create a healing environment for our patients and their families, our staff and the community,” says a statement describing the program. Keller said the Parker Adventist Hospital also has an art gallery in its cancer care center that has an impact. “We need to be so sensitive to help people on this journey,” Keller said. She added that certified therapeutic practitioners, music therapists,

“Perspective,” the most recent of painter Cindy Welch’s series of Iconic Castle Rock locations, is a watercolor of that famous rock, with a tiny couple looking out from the top. It is included in Welch’s Healing Arts exhibit at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. Courtesy photo visit patients in their rooms. There is clinical evidence that this helps with pain and anxiety. Light massage of hands and feet is also soothing. A report from Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center expands on the usefulness of art in healing. “In the late 1800s, Florence Nightingale wrote, `Little as we know about the way we are affected by form, by color and light, we do know
Lund explains that “History Camp is the history unconference for adults.” It will be held starting at 9 a.m. Nov. 12 at the Tivoli on the MSU campus, lasting through the day, with time out for lunch. There will be more than two dozen presentations, held every hour in different rooms at the Tivoli, and you don’t have to register for a topic in advance. Just step into

well beyond the physical and encompasses mental and spiritual health as well. Patients who see nature scenes in a painting, a photograph or out the window have less anxiety and request less pain medication and had a quicker post-operative recovery time. Families and caregivers are also helped by exposure to art and nature. Keller said there is a nurse who starts her day by visiting the art gallery in Castle Rock. ”When people are relaxed and receptive, they place themselves in the best possible state of mind and spirit for medicine to do its work,” said the Massachusetts General piece. A new exhibit, opening with a 5 to 7 p.m. reception on Oct. 6, shows work by watercolorist Cindy Welch of Castle Rock. “Castle Rock’s Iconic Landmarks” is Welch’s title for her exhibit, which includes watercolor images of a number of the community’s historic buildings. (She also sells color prints of those images.) And the artist gains a positive feeling from knowing that her/his art is giving others a needed lift in spirits. Preceding Welch’s exhibit was one by local high school artists. Next will be colorful abstract works by painter Elaine Asarch: “Healing with Color.” The gallery at Castle Rock Hospital, 2350 Meadows Blvd., is open to the public, as are exhibits at other Adventist hospitals. Ask at the information desk for the locations of art. (Littleton Hospital has some impressive large sculptural works outside on the grounds, including near the ER entrance.)

The Music of Frank Sinatra He was so famous, he had two nicknames. Call him Ol’ Blue Eyes or The Chairman of the Board, but it’s safe to say there will never be anyone else like Frank Sinatra. America’s great pop singer turned 100 last Dec. 12, but of course, he’s been gone now for 17 years. Gone, but still celebrated. In this Active Minds program, we’ll dig into his huge song bag and hear once again those inimitable vocal stylings. Along the way, we’ll explore his tumultuous life and the women who decorated it.

Bruins head into home stretch Cherry Creek joins 11 other teams at gymnastics invitational By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek’s team competed in the Oct. 1 Think Pink Gymnastics Invitational at Lakewood High School to continue preparation for the allimportant regional and state meets that are just around the corner. “We have one more home meet and one more invitational before the postseason competition begins,” Bruins coach January Stewart said before the meet started. “We are not where

What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is Remember the Titans because I love football movies and it teaches lessons about loving and supporting your teammates no matter who they are. What is your favorite pre-competition meal? Why? My favorite pre-competition meal is loaded baked potatoes because it’s healthy and tastes the best. Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete (past or present)? My favorite athlete is Hannah Werth (Nebraska volleyball and Puerto Rico National Team)
we want to be and we know we still have a ways to go before we are where we want to be for the postseason. A number of our girls have suffered injuries and, of course, that doesn’t help us. But my four seniors provide great leadership for our young team and we just will keep trying to get better.” Each team was allowed to enter six athletes in each of the four events, balance beam, uneven parallel bars, vault and floor exercise. Many gymnasts competed in all events to post all-around scores. Judges watched every move on each apparatus from entry to conclusion before scoring each competitor’s performance on a scale of one to 10. Cherry Creek finished second in the
because she is extremely passionate about her sport, which showed through her actions on the court. She is the best possible teammate and role model and I aspire to play and treat others as well as she does. Why do you participate in sports? I participate in sports because I love being part of a team effort, and I like to represent my school in a positive way. What is your favorite subject in school? Sociology is my favorite subject because you learn about society and the influence others have on you. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? No superstitions, and besides my mental preparation, not any other rituals. As a team, we like to dance it out before games. “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.
team standings with a score of 176.0. Lakewood won the team title with a score of 177.1 Cherry Creek’s Mackenzie Doerr was second in the all-around competition with a score of 37.75. She also won the vault event with a score of 9.4. Stewart said the future looks bright for Cherry Creek gymnastics. “We only have four seniors on our roster of 30 girls. That is the most girls we have had out for gymnastics. Usually we have about 15 on our team,” she said. “We want to work to help the young gymnasts improve their skills because they are our future varsity leaders.” Bruins continues on Page 31
Judd Erickson, football, senior, Mountain Vista: The Golden Eagles lost 64-49 to Regis Jesuit on Sept. 30, but quarterback Erickson did his best to alter the outcome as he went 35-of-56 for 507 yards and five touchdowns. For the season, Erickson leads the state’s Class 5A schools in passing yardage with 1,963, an average of 392.6 yards per game. Keeley Davis, volleyball, junior, Rock Canyon: She had 16 kills and a 59.3 hitting percentage in the Jaguars’ 3-0 win over Heritage on Sept. 29. Dylan McCaffrey, football, senior, Valor Christian: McCaffrey, the Eagles’ quarterback, completed 20of-31 passes for 336 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-26 win over Cherry Creek on Sept. 29. Daryl Gulbreath, football, senior, Englewood: In the Pirates’ 35-0 triumph over Sheridan on Sept. 30, Gulbreath had 311 all-purpose yards. He rushed for 224 yards and a touchdown, caught two passes for 65 yards and a score and had 22 kickoff-return yards. Caden Meis, football, sophomore, Legend: He averaged 13.5 yards per carry in the Titans’ 41-0 conquest of Boulder on Oct. 1. Meis gained 216 yards on 16 attempts and tallied three touchdowns.

I’m wondering if anybody can remember those pop quizzes that teachers and professors used to give near the end of class. It was then I realized that maybe I should have paid more attention. It’s time for a pop quiz for all casual high school football fans. Teams will start play this week in the new football alignments for all divisions and now is the time to test the recollection of these new leagues that are used for Jim Benton football only. So does OVERTIME anybody know which league Westminster will compete in? What about Legend, Ralston Valley, ThunderRidge, Arapahoe, Heritage or D’Evelyn? These league alignments will be in place again next season in the two-year cycle, but the conference placements could all be changed again, so short term memory could be helpful. Westminster, by the way, plays in the Mount Antero League, Legend in Mount Lincoln, Ralston Valley in Mount Wilson, ThunderRidge in the Mount Cameron and Arapahoe in Mount Massive. Heritage is a member of the Class 4A Plains League and D’Evelyn and plays in the 2A Flatirons League. Class 5A has been reduced from 50 to 42 teams and the playoff field for 5A has been sliced to 16 teams. The computer-generated Ratings Performance Index will determine the nine playoff teams that are not league champions. A running quarterback Trey Windham was Cherry Creek’s running back but stepped up to take over as the quarterback after the Bruins’ starting and backup signal callers were injured. Windham figured in all the Bruins’ touchdowns in the 41-26 loss to Valor Christian on Sept. 29. He completed 10 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns and carried the ball 12 times for 98 yards and another score. #goodidea I couldn’t agree more with the National Federation of State High School Associations and its 51 high school associations that will celebrate National High School Activities month in October with the launch of the #MyReasonWhy campaign.

Highlands Ranch golfer captures state title Falcons claim second place as Regis Jesuit wins team title By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch senior Kyle Pearson was crowned the state golf champion during the Class 5A state tournament Sept. 26 and 27 at the Bookcliff Country Club in Grand Junction. However, Highlands Ranch golfers left the course thinking about a shot or two that could have been saved. The Falcons had a chance to win the team title but were stymied by a bad lie on the 18th hole. Pearson carded a bogey, which allowed Regis Jesuit to capture the state title by a stroke. Regis fashioned a two-day total of 436, while Highlands Ranch came in with the best three-player score during the final round but finished at 437 for second place. Pearson put together rounds of 5-under-par 66 and 4-under-67 for a 133 total and a six-shot individual win over secondplace Davis Bryant of Eaglecrest. He had a hole-in-one on the 136-yard, par-3 15th hole during the final round. That was the same hole teammate Jackson Crist aced during a practice round. Pearson’s play drew praise from his coach. “He hits it far and hits it straight,” Highlands Ranch coach James Barker said. “He’s a good putter and has a pretty good short game. He’s kind of unflappable when he gets going. He believes that he can get it done. He was at the top of his game.” Pearson is the second Highlands Ranch golfer to win a state title. Caleb Barker was the state champion in 2009 and the Falcons have now been the state runnersup six times. Highlands Ranch could have won the title if Pearson birdied the 582-yard 18th hole. A par on the hole would have created

We had 240 yards to pin downhill and we hit a club that was supposed to go 250. He just knocked it out to the right a little and it got in a horrible lie, probably some of the worst rough on the course. “The ball was down two or three inches in thick rough. There was a tree in front of him. He had to pitch it out sideways. He made a really a good shot to pitch it out where he did in front of the green. His next pitch shot got a little unlucky and wandered off a foot or two. He had a five- or six-footer for the tie. And the putt barely edged. He was upset about that.”

Gabe Goodman, Green Mountain, 80-73 153 What about the strategy on that final hole? “We were just playing our normal aggressive golf and we end up with a bad lie and couldn’t get the score we wanted on the last hole,” Barker said. “I’m sure some people will say you should have laid up and just played for par, but that’s not how we play. Kyle would have never shot those scores of 66 and 67 without playing aggressively. That’s the way we do it. He kept us in there with a chance because without Kyle’s scores we’re not even close. “I’ve kind of gone 180 on how I teach kids how to play golf. If you can hit the ball a long way, the statistics over the last 15 years on the PGA Tour, say that the closer you get to the target on your first shots, the less shots it takes you to get the

ball in the hole.” Lakewood, second the past two seasons in the state tournament, finished third in the team standings, with Rock Canyon fifth, Cherry Creek sixth and Arapahoe seventh. Rock Canyon’s Nick Caldwell, the first-round leader with a 6-under-par 65, came in third on the leaderboard with a two-round total of 140. Lakewood’s Griffin Barela tied for fourth after back-to-back rounds of even-par 71. In the Class 4A tournament at River Valley Ranch in Carbondale, five-time state champion Valor Christian finished third, 20 shots behind champion Discovery Canyon. Jack Schoenborn paced the Eagles as he tied for 13th place with rounds of 80 and 72 for a 152 two-day score.

Heritage doubles team wraps up win over Vista Eagles to host regional tournament after 4-3 victory
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage will be hosting a regional state-qualifying tournament thanks to a 4-3 victory over Mountain Vista in a match Sept. 27 at the Lebsack Tennis Center at Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch. Mountain Vista will have to travel to Grand Junction for the Region 5 tournament after Heritage won a three-set No. 4 doubles match to claim a 4-3 win over the Golden Eagles. The victory assured Heritage of hosting one of the eight regional tournaments that will be played Oct. 5-8. Heritage coach Chad Hanson, a former coach at ThunderRidge, didn’t hide the importance of the No. 4 doubles match. “We knew that a chance at the league title was on the line as well as a trip to
Grand Junction for the regionals for the losing team,” he said. “My No. 4 double team won a three-set thriller. Jim Flanigan (Vista coach) and I are close friends and have coached against each other for 10 years. We’ve had a number of great matches over the years and I’m happy to finally have beaten him.” Regis Jesuit notched a 5-2 win over Heritage on Sept. 29 in a match for the league championship but the secondplace finish was good enough that the Eagles won’t have to pack their bags for the regional tournament. Key moments Heritage’s Ryan Dicker and Carson McLeon came on strong after dropping the first set and collected a 2-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-1 victory over Vista’s Naman Kapaski and Cameron Mahoney in the No. 4 doubles Tennis continues on Page 31
