Regional crime lab closer to reality Arapahoe, Douglas and Aurora collaborate to build DNA facility
By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com In July 2015, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office sent a sexual assault case to the state crime lab for DNA testing. Almost a year later, the sheriff’s office still had not received results. In Arapahoe County, the sheriff’s office submitted two sexual assault cases for analysis
in February 2015, two more the following May, another two that June, and numerous others on a consistent basis since then. None has yet received results from the CBI. The wait for DNA analysis — which data shows can take from four months to more than 1½ years in some cases — has spurred the Douglas and Arapahoe county sheriff’s offices and the Aurora Police Department to pool their resources to build a regional crime lab. “There are not a lot of opportunities to do high-value, re-
gional projects,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said. But the regional crime lab is one because it will serve nearly 1 million people, she said. The combined population of Douglas County and Arapahoe County, where most of Aurora is located, is approximately 900,000. “To pull resources together for a regional project like this is astounding,” Repella said. A nationwide backlog The delay in DNA and other forensic evidence testing is not unique to Colorado.
The National Institute of Justice defines a forensic biology or DNA backlogged case as one that has not been completed within 30 days of receipt, although each independent laboratory has its own definition, according to the institute’s website. Because of this, it is difficult to determine the exact number of backlogged cases throughout the nation. However, data gathered in fiscal year 2010, as state and local units of government applied for funding under the Forensic DNA Backlog Reduction Program, showed a national backlog of
111,647 DNA cases as of the end of 2009. But the number changes daily, the NIJ reports, as new cases are submitted and closed every day. “Across the country, state labs are overrun,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. “It’s very important that we think about this as a public safety concern.” The need for timely DNA testing is crucial, law enforcement officials say, to furthering investigations and solving cases Lab continues on Page 6

Pros and cons of ColoradoCare debated Littleton church hosts forum for voters to learn about proposed single-payer health care system
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Laurie Bendell attended the recent debate at a Littleton church over Amendment 69, hoping to learn more about the citizen initiative that would amend the state constitution to establish a universal health care system called ColoradoCare. She has concerns about it being a constitutional amendment. “It sounds good,” the Littleton resident said, “but we’re stuck with it.” With ballots already mailed to voters and due at drop-off locations on Nov. 8, Amendment 69 remains a confusing issue to many voters. The amendment would create a statewide government-run health care system for anyone with a primary residence in Colorado. Left-leaning groups that typically might be relied upon to support universal health care, such as Progress Now Colorado, NARAL and Planned Parenthood, have opposed the amendment, citing concerns about abortion access, joining various chambers of commerce and business groups and the Colorado Medical Society. Support for Amendment 69 includes The League of Women Voters of Colorado, National Nurses United and the Public Health Nurses Association of Colorado. Dr. Ellen Lewis, a Denver child psychiatrist and member of the ColoradoCareYes committee, and Freddie Guadet of the anti-Amendment 69 committee Coloradans for Coloradans, squared off at Littleton’s Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on Oct. 17 to debate the initiative and answer questions. “I’ve been wanting to see something like this for years,” Lewis said, calling the
campaign a “people’s movement.” Gaudet reminded the audience that because Amendment 69 is proposed as a constitutional amendment, it would be exempt from TABOR requirements and changes to correct problems could only be done by a vote of the people rather than in the Legislature. “There’s no fixer bill next year,” he said. Amendment 69 would be paid for by new income taxes of 3.33 percent on employees and 6.67 percent on employers. Those who are self-employed would be responsible for all 10 percent, Gaudet said. The program would eventually be governed by an elected 21-member board of trustees, though it will first be administered by an interim 15-member board appointed by state legislative leadership and the governor.
According to a September poll conducted by Magellan Strategies, the amendment is unlikely to pass. The poll of 500 likely voters found only 27 percent support, with 65 percent opposing and 8 percent undecided. The risks of Amendment 69, Gaudet said, include the possibility of the program costing more than the new taxes would generate. He said that ColoradoCare may not be able to pay well enough to attract new doctors. “Most big-government programs run over budget,” he said. Much of the opposition is coming from the medical insurance industry, said Lewis, who added that despite the tax, Amendment 69 would result in savings for most Coloradans. “They’re putting millions of dollars to defeat us,” she said of the insurers. Lewis compared the measure to
health care systems in place in Canada and western Europe and said the drafters of the legislation had learned from a failed attempt at single-payer health care in Vermont, which she said the state Legislature there passed without a funding mechanism in place in 2011 before repealing it in 2014. “Other countries have done this,” she said. “There’s no reason why we can’t.” But Gaudet said the program would create uncertainty. “I think this is a big risk to put on our health care, on our economy and to lock into our Constitution,” he said. Greg Staritzky, a member of the church, took notes at the debate and said he was leaning toward supporting the initiative. “I do want socialized medicine,” he said.

Rotary bolsters tradition by giving thesauruses to fourth-grade pupils By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Dictionary Project has provided dictionaries to third-graders for more than 20 years. But Littleton Rotary Club and Centennial Academy of Fine Arts take it a step further by also giving students thesauruses as fourth-graders. Rotary member Dennis Brovarone spent the morning of Oct. 13 handing out 90 or so of the books to students at the school. The fourth-graders immediately wrote their names on the thesauruses, claiming them for their own, then began looking up new words. Instead of using “said,” they could use “exclaimed” or “groaned,” they told teacher Stacey Helbig. “You can say better stuff,” student Emily Groff said. While the dictionaries help the thirdgraders learn the definitions of words, the fourth-graders use the thesauruses to find new words they can use. “It really is essential for creative writing,” Brovarone said. Knowing antonyms and synonyms is important for fourth-graders, teacher Beth Hartzell said.
Free flu clinic South Metro Fire Rescue and DispatchHealth, a mobile healthcare services company, will be offering a free flu clinic for the public from 9-11 a.m. on Oct. 29 in the community room of South Metro Fire Rescue’s Station 34, 8871 Maximus Drive, Lone Tree. Flu shots will be free to the public and available to adults and children ages 4 and older. No appointment is necessary. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, flu season typically peaks between December and March and can last as late as May. Health officials encourage people to get their flu shots as early as possible to mitigate the risks involved with the virus — such as hospitalization and extreme illness, a news release from South Metro Fire Rescue says.

g w “This is where we start to perfect the craft e of writing,” she said. “The thesauruses help s that because students can really narrow y down word choice.” t Although fourth-graders all have a Chromebook computers, Brovarone said there is still a place for a physical thesaurus. Y “Actually having something to hold that a they can put their name on makes it more t special than if it was on a screen,” he said. The roots of the Dictionary Project date t to 1992, when a Savannah, Georgia, woman a “ named Annie Plummer handed out 50 dictionaries to students at a school near her t l home. The idea spread to South Carolina and the Dictionary Project nonprofit orga- ‘ nization was formed in 1995. Since then, c more than 18 million dictionaries have been handed out in all 50 states with help of i w groups like the Rotary Club. Centennial has more or less been adopt- b ed by the Littleton Rotary Club, Brovarone i said. He volunteers to read with third- and c fourth-graders every Thursday, and the club g also supports a program to provide grocert ies for families of students on the free or i reduced-cost lunch program. p Despite the prevalence of technology in today’s students’ lives, Hartzell said her w students use printed books and she teaches a them the value of skill such as reading a map, noting that mobile applications may not always be available. “We’re big on physical books here,” she said.

Creepy craze no joke for real clowns Costumed characters feel like marked men and women
By Michael Balsamo Associated Press Send in the frowns. This year’s nationwide creepy clown craze has become a nightmare before Halloween for actual, working clowns, who say their bookings at parties and other events have dropped sharply, even after many of the social media-fueled scary clown sightings have turned out to be hoaxes. Some fear that going out with their greasepaint makeup and red noses will make them a target of police or even marauding mobs who take to the streets on so-called clown hunts. “It’s definitely a scary feeling leaving your house, and you fear you are going to get jumped because you’re dressed as a clown,’’ says Cyrus Zavieh, a New York City hospital administrator who also performs professionally as Cido the Clown. “You’re there to make them happy, to make them have fun, and now they are saying, ‘Aaaagghh!’” Zavieh says. “All of a sudden, these stories are putting fear into kids. ... Before, they’d just look the other way, but now it’s like, ‘You’re a scary clown and I hate you.’’’ The World Clown Association — comprising more than 2,000 members in 30 countries — has been flooded with calls from scared performers. It’s been sending out safety tips, suggesting clowns consider changing into their costumes when they arrive at a party or go with a handler. Association president Randy Christensen says clowns are also increasingly getting requests for “modified performances” in which they entertain without makeup and traditional clown attire. Recently, retail giant Target took the

And McDonald’s says its signature clown character, Ronald McDonald, will be keeping a lower profile. The fallout follows a phenomenon in the U.S. involving dozens of stories, many fabricated, about clowns stalking or attacking people. In multiple states, people have called police to report being menaced by people in clown costumes. In Kentucky, a man dressed as a clown was arrested after lurking in the woods. Children in Ohio and Texas have been charged with making clown-related
Feds look into claim of unofficial VA wait lists Colorado senator joined colleague in seeking inquiry
By Dan Elliott Associated Press Government investigators said they are looking into allegations that Department of Veterans Affairs employees in Colorado kept unofficial lists of veterans waiting for health care that could conceal how long it takes to get an appointment, possibly broadening a nationwide scandal. The VA’s internal watchdog announced an audit in a letter Oct. 19 to Republican Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter. Johnson and Gardner asked for the inquiry after a whistleblower told them the lists were allegedly used at the Denver VA Medical Center and VA health clinics in Colorado Springs and the Denver suburb of Golden. The inquiry by the VA’s inspector general also will look into the whistle-
blower’s allegations that records at the Colorado Springs clinic were falsified after a veteran took his own life while awaiting treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Unofficial or secret lists have been used at VA facilities across the country to hide lengthy delays in care for veterans. Forty veterans died while waiting for appointments at a Phoenix VA hospital. The scandal led Congress to fund the Veterans Choice program, which allows veterans to seek private care at government expense if they have waited 30 days or longer. It also led to the ouster of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. Johnson and Gardner asked for the inquiry four weeks before the Oct. 19 letter from VA Inspector General Michael J. Missal, which was the first confirmation that the audit would be done. It also confirmed that the alleged wait lists were unofficial records that could hide true wait times. In a written statement, Gardner said he welcomed the inspector general’s announcement. He called the allegations serious and said they should be reviewed thoroughly.
Clowns can be serious business Staff report Reports of clown misdeeds across the nation haven’t hurt sales of clown costumes at a popular shop in the metro area. “We’re selling even more of them now,” said Greg Reinke, owner of Reinke Bros. costume shop in downtown Littleton. “People want to be creepy, they want to be scary.” Reinke said the publicity that clowns — real or imagined — have garnered in recent months is only generating more business for shops like his and for haunted houses, many of which feature deranged clowns. During a typical Halloween season, Reinke has both the costume shop and a well-attended haunted house open at 5663 S. Prince St. But the haunted house portion is closed this fall, as it was last year, for major renovations. When his haunted house was last open in 2014, it featured several theme rooms full of frightening creatures. For example, there was a snake room. And a clown room. Reinke plans to have the haunted house ready next fall — and he’ll send in the clowns. “Clowns have always been scary,” he said. “They always will be scary.”

threats to school classmates. A New York City teen told police a clown threatened him with a knife in the subway. “They aren’t clowns. They are clown impersonators,” said Wendy Pincus, who has performed in New York City for the last 20 years. “We’re here to make people happy. We don’t threaten people. We bring joy.” Pincus, whose clown alter ego is “Crazy Daisy,” says she’s seen a 30 to 40 percent decrease in just the past few weeks. Clown sightings, hoaxes and pranks — especially around Halloween — aren’t new. In fact, they’ve become a recurring staple of crime blotters since serial killer and working clown John Wayne Gacy was convicted in 1980 of killing 33 people. In 2012, James Holmes dyed his hair red as Batman’s Joker when he opened fire at a Colorado movie theater, killing 12 people. Those high-profile cases notwithstanding, experts say it’s relatively common for people to feel creeped out by clowns. “It primarily has to do with the exaggerated makeup and features. We recognize it, but there is something abnormal,’’ says Dr. Kristie Golden, associate director of operations for psychiatry and neurosciences at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York. “We can be drawn in by that or we can be repelled.’’ World Clown Association’s Christensen says this year’s clown scares seem to be reaching new heights, and he suggests working clowns repel them the same way they always have, by spreading a message of happiness and boundless. “Go out and clown and show people what this is,’’ he says. “Show them what good entertainment is — show them what a caring clown does.’’

that include homicide, sexual assault, auto theft, burglary, suspicious deaths, cold case homicides and more. The sheriff’s offices in Arapahoe and Douglas counties and the Aurora Police Department each operate their own crime labs, but none has the capability to do DNA testing, according to a feasibility study on the regional lab. DNA analysis can make the difference between taking criminals off the streets and letting them move in society for the 18 months it might take to receive results from the state lab, Spurlock said. Sometimes, DNA analysis can be what clears an individual’s name, Arapahoe County Sheriff David Walcher said. The sheriff’s office at times has cause to arrest someone before DNA evidence can be analyzed, he said, which means an innocent person could remain in jail until DNA results are available to exonerate them. Developing a regional lab Two years in the making, the Regional Forensics Crime Laboratory, estimated to cost about $13.7 million, will also serve the City of Centennial, which contracts with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said the city was immediately supportive of the project. “I think what we were really astonished by is how little DNA actually gets tested and how long it takes,” she said. “If there
steak, hand-made sides and rolls. The restaurant’s meat cutters are similar to butchers, said Rob Pesa, Texas Roadhouse product coach. “It is a skill,” Pesa said. “Unfortunately, it’s a lost art.” At the event, each participant was given 25-30 pounds of beef — including one sirloin, one tenderloin and one ribeye — to cut in 60 minutes in the 38-degree ice rink. Meat cutters were judged on quality, speed and yield. Five advanced to the
semi-finals round, which is scheduled for March in Orlando, Florida. The winner of the national competition will pocket $20,000 and be recognized as Meat Cutter of the Year. Edgar Pantoga, a 13-year-old from Aurora, watched his mother from the stands. She was one of two women in the competition. “It’s cool because not many girls do it,” he said. “There are a lot of boys out there.” The profession isn’t easy. Meat cutters are on their feet from seven to eight hours
a day in a 35-degree walk-in cooler, Pesa said. They are responsible for hand-cutting every steak served at their local Texas Roadhouse. “It’s a very difficult environment,” he said. “Finding the right people to do it is hard.” South Suburban Parks and Recreation has hosted the event at its ice arena, 6580 S. Vine St., for five years. The cool temperature keeps the meat from spoiling. “It’s fun,” said Dirk Doty, recreation coordinator. “Something different.”
are additional tools that our sheriff’s department that we contract with needs, we support that — absolutely.” Other municipalities also may be able to use the lab’s services, both sheriff’s offices said. They intend to allow municipalities within their counties to submit evidence for processing at the regional lab for a fee. Details of those terms are still in the works, Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth said. The three entities expect to finalize an intergovernmental agreement by late October. Design plans are scheduled to be near completion in December. Groundbreaking on the facility, which would be built along Douglas County’s northern corridor near the Arapahoe County border, could take place in the summer of 2017. “The public certainly has an expectation that we use science to the best of our ability,” Walcher said. “Well, we’re going to start doing that in our jurisdiction.” The Colorado Bureau of Investigation runs the state forensics lab and has a regional office in Arvada. It was originally established to analyze forensic evidence for small law jurisdictions without their own crime labs. Over time, larger law enforcement departments’ need for assistance has grown, particularly with the development of DNA analytics, according to Spurlock. “They do great work, but they serve the entire state of Colorado.” The CBI could not be reached for comment. The Aurora Police Department declined to comment while discussions surrounding the lab are ongoing.
Besides the backlog of cases, logistical issues exist with relying on the CBI lab, according to a study commissioned by Douglas County to look at the feasibility of a regional facility. The round trip for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office to Arvada can take two to three hours, depending on traffic and lines to submit evidence at the facility, the feasibility study found. The number of items that can be submitted for analysis also is limited, the study said, which means law enforcement can’t submit all the evidence they need evaluated. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office crime lab can conduct crime scene investigations, drug chemistry analysis, latent print evaluation and processing, and shoe and tire print examinations. It also can photograph evidence and attend autopsies. The Arapahoe County and Aurora crime labs perform similarly but not identically to Douglas County’s. But they all rely on the CBI to conduct firearms and tool-mark analysis, trace evidence and DNA analysis. The new regional lab will provide the departments with more control over casework prioritization, the amount of evidence analyzed and the logistics of submitting pieces for analysis, NicholsonKluth said. “We will solve more crimes,” Walcher said, “and we will solve more crimes quicker than ever before.”
crime lab. The land acquisition, design and constructions costs are estimated at $13.7 million — a rough estimate, NicholsonKluth said. An official project cost should be available in December once design plans are completed. Douglas County will handle land acquisition and constructions costs, largely through its Justice Center Sales and Use Tax, which has twice been approved by voters to help pay for capital needs of the county Justice Center. Once the facility is built, Arapahoe County and Aurora will begin contributing larger shares. Aurora will pay for the information technology infrastructure and support staff. Aurora and Arapahoe County will provide most of the staff and specialized equipment. The lab is expected to staff 41 positions, a combination of existing and new. One-time project costs (such as construction), and ongoing costs (such as operations and maintenance) will be funded through a variety of sources. Arapahoe County’s Law Enforcement Authority fund will help support the project, Walcher said. Arapahoe County’s contract with Centennial will also contribute financial support. After two years of work by a team of about 20 people, Spurlock said he is excited to see the plan becoming a reality. “The people of Arapahoe and Douglas counties have officials that are working together to solve a problem,” he said. “We have found a way to work together and to develop a plan that allows us to provide services fairly and equitably.”

He’s not seeking votes, just approval Littleton activist uses presidential bid to get eyes on voting campaign
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Frank Atwood is running for president, but he doesn’t want your vote. It says so right on the website of the Approval Voting Party, for which he is the nominee. The Littleton activist isn’t even voting for himself. “I will most likely be voting for Gary Johnson,” the 67-year-old retired Department of the Navy employee said. Atwood was a registered Libertarian before he and his running mate, Blake Huber, 66, now retired from the telecommunications industry, created a party focused on advocating for approval voting, which is a system that allows voters to select multiple candidates. The elevator pitch for approval voting is simple: “Check all the candidates yea or nay, the most yeas wins at the end of the day.” Those are the words to a jingle that Atwood recorded on his smartphone and which are printed on his fliers. “Approval voting is simply saying, mark off all that you approve of,” Atwood said. Atwood and Huber, who first registered as a Libertarian in the 1970s, see approval voting as a solution to hyperpartisanship, as voters will not have just one vote to cast. They also believe it solves the problem of spoilers, like Ross Perot in 1992 or Ralph Nader in 2000, as people can vote for their preferred candidate, as well as one they don’t like as much but can live with. “Approval voting encourages better candidates,” Huber said, saying that what he calls the “choose-one system” incentivizes negative campaigning.

WHAT IS APPROVAL VOTING? According to The Center for Election Science, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization, approval voting is a single-winner voting method that allows voters to choose as many candidates as are on the ballot. Advocates say the method would prevent vote-splitting and spoiler candidates elect more moderate candidates. While the method has not seen widespread
For Atwood and Huber, approval voting is not only political silver bullet, but a solution people can use in their day-to-day lives. Huber points out it can be used among groups of friends to select movies, pizza toppings and more.

usage, various political parties have used it to select candidates, and organizations have used it to elect boardmembers. A criticism of approval voting is that it will degrade into “bullet voting,” in which voters only vote for one candidate despite the ability to vote for more, leading to similar results as plurality voting, the system that is already in place in U.S. elections.
Atwood, a common fixture at public meetings, political discussion groups and community events, stands out wherever he his. He’s the 6-foot-4 bald man who is more often than not wearing a bright yellow T-shirt emblazoned with the approval voting message. A scan of a parking lot can let you know if he’s around — just look for the Toyota minivan wrapped with graphics matching his shirt. Atwood cops to being a “nut.” But “it’s the nuts that change the world,” he recently told the Littleton City Council in one of his regular public comment appearances. The tagline was lifted from Kind Snacks, and when he was done, Atwood distributed Kind bars to the councilmembers and audience. Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman doesn’t just know Atwood as an activist. They lived across the street from one another for about a decade. “Frank would never miss an opportunity to talk to you about the things he believes in,” Beckman said. “You have to,” Atwood said about talking to people about his message. “You push through. You talk with everyone.” Added Beckman: “There are things I agree with him on and things I disagree
with him on, but I always find him interesting to talk to.” The roots of the Approval Voting Party lie in a trip that Atwood and Huber took to present their ideas at Freedom Fest, an annual “gathering of free minds” held in Las Vegas in July 2015. Atwood and Huber had been discussing the best approach to getting more eyes on their message. “Half of the money you spend on advertising is wasted, you just never know which half,” Atwood said. “And then Blake and I realized it would be fun.” When they got back to Colorado, the pair got a lawyer and managed to get a meeting with Secretary of State Wayne Williams at a Colorado Rockies game. They disaffiliated from the Libertarian Party, found nine unaffiliated registered voters willing to sign on to be electoral college delegates in the event they win the vote in Colorado, and filed paperwork to form their new party. The quixotic presidential bid is not Atwood’s first foray into electoral politics — he scored 3.3 percent of the vote in the 1st Congressional District race in 2014 as a Libertarian, even though he didn’t live in the district. Retired from the federal government since 2000, the same year he moved to Littleton, Atwood has been a fixture at community events, public meetings and political gatherings. He counts running a chess club in Highlands Ranch and advocating for approval voting as his two passions. He stumbled onto the Libertarian Party in the mid-’90s and was attracted by its message of fiscal responsibility and social tolerance. “I was a milquetoast Republican, willing to vote for Bob Dole, and then Bob Dole just annoyed me,” he said, talking about the 1996 presidential race. Atwood became interested in approval voting during the 2008 presidential campaign. “My wife brought home the book ‘Gaming the Vote,’ “ he said. The book, by William Poundstone, is subtitled “Why Elections Aren’t Fair (And What We Can Do About It)” and posits that several presidential races have been won by the second-most popular candidate due to the influence of “spoiler” candidates. After Atwood read the book, he researched alternative voting systems and decided approval voting is the way to go. Atwood then turned his friend Huber onto the idea, recommending the book to him. “I called him up and I said `Frank, I drank the Kool-Aid,’ ” Huber said. While Atwood and Huber’s presidential bid is essentially a stunt campaign to draw attention to their cause, it won’t be the endgame for them. They plan to work for statewide rules for jurisdictions that want to use approval voting. Said Huber: “We’ll be advocating in the state Legislature next year.”

Avoiding cancer: The mastectomy choice
Castle Rock woman has surgeries following genetic testing
By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com Stephanie Burgess, 39, is ready for 2016 to be over. The Castle Rock mom of two recently underwent a hysterectomy and a double mastectomy. The decision came after genetic testing showed she had a 70 to 90 percent chance of getting ovarian and breast cancer. The scare hit close to home. When Burgess was 22 years old, she lost her mother to ovarian cancer. Starting from age 19, she was a primary caretaker during the three-
year battle. Watching her mother try every treatment to no avail was devastating as a daughter, she said. Now, as a mother herself, she wanted to take every precaution to ensure she would never have to say goodbye to her children. But having the surgeries was an admittedly difficult decision. “Sometimes, I wake up and say `I can’t believe I did that,’ ” Burgess said. Her body no longer feels like her own. Although she’s soon starting reconstructive surgery, it’s not the same the self she knew before, Burgess said. Recovery time also has its setbacks. Movement is limited in the weeks after a mastectomy and it Cancer continues on Page 19

If the shoes fit, wear them all In my closet are two exact same pairs of shoes. Exact same except that one pair is exceptionally worn and the other pair is still brand new. I have had the same shoes even years before, and I loved them so much, they were so comfortable that when I went to replace them and found that they were still available I actually purchased two more pairs instead of just one. They are brown business casual shoes. A little too casual to wear with a suit, but great for an informal business meeting. After having parted with my original pair, I continued to wear one of the new pairs on a regular basis. Now maybe it was the way I walked or how I drove my car, maybe how I placed my feet under the seat in front of me on an airplane, but the front of my brown shoes would get scuffed, worn out, or scratched. After a while they looked almost too worn to wear. But what was I waiting for? I had another brand new pair in the closet and could easily move right into those. Here is what was running through my head, “I know I can get one more use out of these worn-out shoes. If I wear the new shoes they will just get worn out too. Maybe next time I will wear the new ones.” And so it went, the old ones went on my feet and the new ones remained pristine in my closet.
How silly and how ridiculous. Again, what was I waiting for? Then I started thinking about everything else that I might be protecting for use sometime in the future. What good are shoes or skills, talents, resources, or even words if we have them Michael Norton and we are saving them for use at a later WINNING time? You see, just like WORDS my shoes were intended to be worn, so is life. We are not here to simply put ourselves on a shelf, in a closet, in a pocket, or to remain quiet when something important needs to be said or done. We were meant to live life to the fullest, whether we get through clean and unscathed, or like those old shoes, we get scuffed, scratched, and worn out. Zig Ziglar said, “We were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” But if we keep ourselves on the sideline, how will we ever know what we can accomplish,
where and when we will meet with success, or just how great we can be? So today was the day. As I got dressed, the new shoes made their way to my feet and a new inspiration filled my heart and my head. Inspiring shoes? Yes, inspiring shoes, because I was reminded of what else I wasn’t doing or using in my life that would add value to my own journey or add value to the lives of others. I left my closet with a “Look out world, this is going to be a big day” attitude. So how about you, what are you holding on to or waiting to use? Is it that new golf club? The new car mats? Are you waiting to use the words you know that someone needs or wants to hear, maybe even longs to hear? Whatever it is, I would love to hear all about it and how you will stop waiting, get off the sideline, and get into the game of life at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we remember that we were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness, 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.

October is time to dress to regress Boris Karloff was only 5 feet 11 inches tall. In “Frankenstein,” he appeared to be much Craig Marshall Smith taller. QUIET Special DESPERATION effects. Special effects don’t interest me now. They did when I was 9. The news is full of blood, gore, mutilations and monsters. And so is Halloween. You can have it. Melodramatic fictionalizations of horror, starring phantoms, ghouls, goblins and death, have been in existence throughout history. It seems to me that there is enough of it in nonfiction to go around. I saw a friend just the other day. He was getting ready for Halloween. He said, “I’m putting on a zombie. It’s escapism, Smith.” Real life is full of zombies already. It’s packed with them. I said, “Why not put on some Beethoven instead?” Zombie said, “Huh?” Most people, it seems, can separate the two, namely real demons and fake demons, buy some fake blood, smear it on a costume and go out and party. And not give it a second thought.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Carroll best pick for Congress There are politicians and then there are public servants. Morgan Carroll, candidate for U.S. Congress District 6, is a true public servant with a proven, consistent record of working across the aisle to get results. Carroll is a determined legislator focused on real-world problems of local families. Former president of the Colorado State Senate, Carroll effectively fought to bring companies with competitive wages into Colorado, cap tuition increases in higher education and reject rate hikes by big insurance companies. She has worked to increase renewable energy development, protect Colorado’s clean air and water, and limit secret corporate spending in elections. Carroll worked low-wage jobs to finance her education, racking up $70,000 in student debt, so she is passionate about investing in education to provide youth and adults with access to affordable training and retraining. In Congress, Carroll also plans to: • Return the emphasis in our classrooms to teaching and away from an over-reliance on standardized testing. • Improve Colorado infrastructure (mass transit, roads,
and broadband) to boost the economy and create jobs. • Support small, local businesses and equal pay for equal work. • Provide more mental health services for military veterans. • Deliver campaign finance reform to reduce the influence of billionaires. As Carroll notes, the U.S. Constitution recognizes “one person one vote,” a concept that should not be distorted into “one dollar one vote.” In contrast, four-term Congressman Mike Coffman is part of our broken, ineffective Congress. Backed by dark money from the billionaire Koch brothers, notorious for funding disinformation campaigns regarding the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, a strident Coffman says the issue is “debatable.” He began shifting many of his positions only after the boundaries of the district were redrawn and its demographics changed. His wife is Colorado’s attorney general, and it is time to break up this cozy arrangement. Morgan Carroll will represent local families with common sense, energy, and accountability. We urge you to vote for Morgan Carroll for U.S. Congress. Richard and Judy Purcell Highlands Ranch
Say yes to supporting arts The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District comprises the seven metro counties. Ballot question 4B is simply the renewal or extension of the onetenth of 1 percent sales tax (one penny for a $10 purchase) that was started in 1988 that benefits the entire metro area. The SCFD gives grants to not only the five major cultural facilities in the metro area but also grants funding to close to 300 smaller organizations. In Littleton, those include the Town Hall Arts Center, Hudson Gardens, The Littleton Symphony, Voices West (formerly the Littleton Choral), The Arapahoe Philharmonic Orchestra, Young Voices of Colorado, South Suburban’s programing and specifically the Carson Nature Center, to name just a few. Without the support of the SCFD, these organizations would not be able to maintain their present level of programming and activities. I urge all voters to vote for ballot measure 4B to maintain the fantastic level of cultural and scientific benefits that we in the area are privileged to all enjoy. Roy Bartee Littleton

Getting through the conflict of the election It’s palpable — so thick in the air you can feel it. Almost anywhere you go these days, you can feel the tension of conflict around you. Whether it’s on television, radio, online or your mailbox, daily you’re seeing those vicious political ads, conversations or mailers. Or maybe you’re volunteering for a candidate or issue and getting doors slammed in your face. Anyway you look at it, these are not peaceful times. Unfortunately, our elections that used to be a civil discourse in discovering how we wanted to vote have now turned into displays of indecency, bullying behavior and outright lies. No wonder people are tired of politics. Even when we candidates have pure public service intentions and a good heart for the common good, how can citizens possibly believe us when the negative mailers pile up, the TV ads are nastier than ever, and we see a presidential candidate acting worse than a schoolyard bully? The
rude incivility is so bad this election cycle that there are teachers who can’t even show any of the presidential debates in their classrooms because the behavior they’d see is not allowed on school grounds! What happened? Linda Newell How did we get here? Where did our GUEST “statesman-like” COLUMN behavior go? Now, I’m not saying we need to be so politically correct that we’re not authentic, but wouldn’t it be nice to at least be civil to each other? (In fact, I had written a whole other column, but realized it was too P.C. even for me.) Ironically, it’s Conflict Resolution Month in Colorado right now. In our state,
October is supposed to be the month when we revisit how we’re dealing with conflict in our lives. It’s a time when across the state there are conflict and anger management classes, workshops educating people about using mediators instead of going to court and town halls where partisanship is set aside to unify us all as Coloradans. This year, that just seems like a big fat joke, right? Do we just give up trying to do things the “Colorado Collaborative Way” or discontinue our goal of being the most civil state in the union? How do we teach our kids to “act polite and have good manners” when we adults are shouting at each other or giving the finger to someone out our car window? So, what can we do about it? Well maybe these few tips can help get you through the rest of this horrifically historic, embarrassingly negative election cycle. • Put the TV on mute or fast forward through the commercials and windy political pundits, or turn off all live televi-
sion, radio, or social media for the next couple of weeks. • We all have opinions, but if family, friends, neighbors or coworkers are “getting into it” or you are getting a bit too aggressive in a discussion, remember “fair fighting” rules and what’s most important is your relationship together, not who’s right or wrong. • Practice a lot of conscious breathing and listening with an open mind and kind heart. I’m sure grateful my own conflict is less this time because I’m not running! May peace be with you through Nov. 8.

In late October, you can be a vampire, a voodoo priestess or a Democrat, and scare the blue Johnnies out of your friends. I was a horror film fan when I was a kid. I’m not sure why. I found out everything there was to know about Lon Chaney. There is no moment in film more frightening than the one in Chaney’s “Phantom of the Opera” when the phantom takes off his mask. I think it’s possible that I thought I was monstrous too. Cinema monsters are usually disconnected. I was disconnected. An exception was Dr. Jekyll, “a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty with something of a stylish cast.” As the doctor, he attends parties, and gives lectures at the institute in front of a theater filled with medical professionals. But he also spends time in his laboratory mixing up Mr. Hyde in a beaker. I have been both. Maybe you have too. Maybe you have read about the clown threats. Because of them, a lot of children will be prohibited by their schools from clowning up on Halloween. And McDon-

Humans frighten me enough, just standing around in khakis. I’d like to know, by percentage, who gets more involved with Halloween? Men or women? I am betting men.

I like it right where I am, not on some other planet. And that includes Texas. But seriously. I lived in metro Detroit, where they thought it was cute to liven things up on October 30, calling it “Devil’s Night.” It featured some serious acts of vandalism and arson. Sure, it’s been replaced by “Angels’ Night,” but I have no plans to see if it’s working out. The truth is that most of us wear masks all the time, not just once a year. Or is that being too abstruse?

Dr. David Goldberg at the Centers for Spiritual Living Headquarters in Golden. “I truly believe we are the change we’re waiting for,” the Lakewood resident said. “Regardless of our age or where we are in our lives, change starts with us. If we seek peace, we must be peace.” Obtaining world peace can seem like a concept too large for one person to take on. But across the globe, organizations are serving as platforms, providing guidance and supporting efforts. Every day, more individuals and groups join the movement. “Sometimes, it feels so big, but one simple act at a time can make a difference,” said Brandi Brown, deputy campaign manager for PeaceJam’s 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign. “Amazing things are happening in your community every day.” PeaceJam is an international nonprofit organization headquartered in Arvada, with the primary mission to teach peace to youth through mentoring by Nobel Peace Prize laureates. The 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign challenges everybody around the world to reach 1 billion acts of peace by 2019. So far, just over 12 million acts have been recorded. Almost anything can count as an act of peace, Brown said, from the smallest gesture of reading to the elderly to big efforts such as raising money to help young women in Africa receive an education. And the campaign is not limited to youth — businesses, nonprofits, houses of worship, individuals, school groups and universities are participating. “Getting people into the mind-frame of putting things into action inspires others to do the same,” Brown said. “Once you reach out and help other people, you see the impact, and it inspires you to do more.” The Conflict Center believes everyone has a role to play as peacemakers in our homes, schools, congregations, workplaces and communities, said the nonprofit’s executive director Ron Ludwig.

The center, which is based in Denver, works to prevent violence by equipping youth and adults with solid skills to manage conflict, solve problems and strengthen relationships. The center offers classes for youth and adults available to the general public, and works in several schools each year to teach age-appropriate conflict management skills to students. It also sponsors special events to raise awareness in the community about the impact that various forms of violence can have on individuals, communities and the world. “Conflict is a normal part of everyday life, but it doesn’t have to be negative or destructive,” Ludwig said. “It’s how we respond to it that produces positive or negative outcomes in our lives and in the lives of others.” Accomplishing peace is not viewed as being easy or comfortable, said Liz Hamel, program director for Building
Bridges. But accepting that tension is a positive way to create change, she added. Building Bridges is a nonprofit organization with the mission “to equip young people with the communication and leadership skills necessary to address the root cause of hatred, discrimination and violent conflict.” Peace begins with individuals, Hamel said, but it’s important to be able to come together, work deeply to understand another’s perspective and find the root causes of conflict and hatred. “If we are going to create more understanding in the world,” she said, “it has to start with people to people.” Bringing people to peace within their own consciousness is the idea behind the Centers for Spiritual Living’s Global Peace Initiative, says Rev. Mark Gilbert, the center’s global service manager. “It’s a matter of shifting thoughts to
believe — and know — that we each, in our own minds, can bring peace to the planet,” Gilbert said. It starts with inner awareness, he added, and cascades to others from there. The Global Peace Initiative can be thought of as a support mechanism and a “nudge to move people to action,” he said. The centers send out materials upon request and provide support to help people get started. The centers consist of a trans-denominational group, Gilbert said, so the materials support everyone, no matter their spiritual belief. The initiative encourages people to come together, either as an individual or a group, to pray or meditate on peace, Gilbert said. Then they’re encouraged to share with the centers what they developed, which provides more opportuniPeace continues on Page 13

Dylan’s Nobel win brings words back to spotlight Whenever people ask me the stereotypical question — The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? — my answer is simple: Bob Dylan. Apparently the Nobel Prize committee is of the same opinion, since Dylan was just named as the 2016 recipient of the prize for literature. Depending on one’s familiarity with the literary world, the last well-known winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature was Toni Morrison (the last American who won, it’s worth noting), who received the award in 1993. This makes Dylan not only the first musician to receive the Nobel in Literature, but also the most recognizable name to receive the award in more than 20 years. The Nobel committee honored Dylan “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” But since the award was announced Oct. 13, musicians and critics in print and online have been arguing about the recognition. Master lyricist Leonard Cohen said Dylan receiving the Nobel is “like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.” Matthew Schnipper, managing editor of Pitchfork music website, wrote an op-ed stating that everyone already knows Dylan is a genius, therefore the award was a missed opportunity to highlight authors that more people should know.
“But he is a musician, and his relationship with words is as a lyricist, someone whose prose exists inexorably with music. To read his lyrics flatly, without the sound delivering them, Clarke Reader is to experience his art reduced,” LINER Schnipper wrote. “Literature is a less NOTES glamorous cousin of music. Both may provide portals to new worlds, but presuming they do so similarly because both use words shortchanges the specific merits of either form.” Tom Waits, owner of one of rock’s other unique music voices, celebrated Dylan’s win. “Before epic tales and poems were ever written down, they migrated on the winds of the human voice,” Waits said in a statement, “and no voice is greater than Dylan’s.” For Rob Sheffield, author and contributor to Rolling Stone magazine, the committee got the award right because of Dylan’s celebration of — and experimentations with — words. “Of course it’s not poetry, not even sung poetry,” he wrote. “It’s songwrit-
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Nxworries’ “Yes Lawd!,” released on Stones Throw records.

ing, it’s storytelling, it’s electric noise, it’s a bard exploiting the new-media inventions of his time (amplifiers, microphones, recording studios, radio) for literary performance the way playwrights or screenwriters once did.” As a passionate Dylanologist since senior year of high school, it’s not even a debate — Dylan deserves any and every award people want to give him. His lyrics are some of the best writing — regardless of form — in the English language, and his melding of folk, blues, rock and pop is one of the reasons modern music sounds like it does. But what I like most about the award is the conversation its created, one I think Dylan himself would approve of — a conversation about the power of words. Listening to Dylan’s lyrics makes it
an album of jazz and funk infused soul and hip-hop. Knxwledge’s production is a nod to J Dilla at his peak, and .Paak skates over the music with his agile and pliable voice. Favorite song: “Get Bigger/Do U Luv” Contender for prettiest song of the year: “Livvin”
evident he’s an avid reader. And intelligent people talking about authors and musicians in the same breath certainly seems like a positive outcome. Dylan once said, “All I can do is be me, whoever that is.” He has been a troubadour, rock star, actor and activist, among countless other things. But he has always been a writer. So talking about what words can achieve seems like the most fitting tribute of all. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he thinks Dylan deserves the Nobel for “Blood on the Tracks” alone. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share if you think Dylan deserves the Nobel at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

About 20 students from the Evergreen Montessori School kick off an International Peace Day celebration with a mini-parade on Sept. 21 at the Centers for Spiritual Living headquarters in Golden. The event also included the dedication of the centers’ peace pole, a release of 10 doves to commemorate Peace Day and the sealing of a Peace Day time capsule — to be opened in 25 years — that contains student messages of peace.

ties to see what everybody else in the world is doing. Similar activities are ongoing around the world, Gilbert said. “They recognize the power of coming together at a common time for a certain intention,” he said. One example is the United Nations’ International Day of Peace. The UN General Assembly established International Day of Peace in 1981 when it designated Sept. 21 as a period of nonviolence and cease-fire. Today, Peace Day is celebrated around the world in various ways — its original intent, and as a day of commemoration with education and public awareness activities on issues related to peace. “Day of Peace is really important,” said Olivia Gilchrist, 12, a student at Evergreen Montessori School. She was one of about 20 students attending the Peace Day celebration at the Centers for Spiritual Living. “We have to remember, (and) one good way to remember is to have one day dedicated to it.” Gilbert believes peace exists in everyone’s hearts. “We want a world where everyone has their needs met and can thrive,” Gilbert said. “And people thrive on a planet that is at peace.”

The Sons of the Pioneers are synonymous with cowboy music and Western legend. Precursors of the present group, including cowboy star Roy Rogers, started performing in their trademark blend of voices and musical instruments in 1934, bringing images of tumbleweeds, horses, cattle, cool water and tall timber to America and, later, to the world. Today’s group will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 at Lone Tree Arts Center. There have been only 33 men in the group during its 80-year history, each carefully chosen to sing and play in the style of the originals. In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, the group appeared in almost 100 Western films — as well as at Carnegie Hall — and on the home radios of thousands of listeners. They have recorded numerous albums with Decca, Columbia, RCA and others and are still performing to sold-out crowds across the nation. (Two weeks in advance, as we write, Lone Tree is near a sellout.) Honors have come from the Country Music Hall of Fame, Western Music Association Hall of Fame, National Cowboy Hall of Fame and more … Their renditions of “Cool Water” and “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” are in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Current members, who will appear at Lone Tree: baritone and lead guitarist Tommy Nallie, “Trail Boss,” has been with the Pioneers since 1983. He also yodels. High tenor Ken Lattimore holds a degree in music, plays fiddle and mandolin and has been a member more than 15 years.

Plein air artist Cliff Austin holding classes in his Littleton studio
Woodlawn Shopping Center site opened earlier this year
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Cliff Austin’s studio at Woodlawn Shopping Center in Littleton opened seven months ago, where he offers beginning level drawing and painting classes. Check his Face-
book page (facebook. com/cliffaustin.5) or email him (cliffaustin@ comcast.net) for times and dates. His brochure says “instructed life drawing classes (beginners and intermediate) Thursday evenings and uninstructed life drawing every other Saturday 9 am. to 12 p.m.” (Located across from the Post Office.) “It’s gotta be fun,” he says positively. Contact him by email or Facebook
to find a class in oil landscapes, life drawing or pastels. “One really helps the other,” he says on developing multiple skills. He says he has lived in Aurora for more than 50 years, arriving first as an Army brat, but he thinks Littleton is a more likely place to build a student following. He participates in plein air events through the year, trying to limit to a four-state area, and recently enjoyed the “In
Plein Sight” weeklong event in Jefferson County’s beautiful parks. He is also involved in a “30 paintings in 30 days” project and has works from both projects displayed in the studio. The first-time Jefferson County plein air event was a year and a half in the making and had great sales. (It will repeat in alternate years, he said.) Sales through conservation organizations are a growing market for him and he looks forward to the plein air paint sessions hosted in Douglas County and in Estes Park. (He spoke of a Larkspur paint-out of ranches and private homes, with a show in an abandoned building as another recent success.) Austin is a graduate of the Rocky Mountain School of Art and is a member of Denver Art Students League, Pastel Society of Colorado, Center for the Arts in Evergreen, American Impressionist Society, Plein Air Artists of Colorado and Oil Painters of America. “I used to do a lot more plein air events, but grew
tired of living on 7-Eleven food,” he said. He started teaching — and still does — at the active Park Hill Arts Club in Denver (pastel workshop). And Austin also teaches at Terry Ludwig’s Littleton pastel studio, where Ludwig manufactures and sells 500 different colors of pastels, sold nationwide and internationally, as well as holding classes. Austin has offered a pastel workshop for Heritage Fine Arts Guild in Arapahoe County and miscellaneous other workshops. (He posts daily on his Facebook site.) He hopes to participate in Littleton’s First Friday Art Walk next summer, citing the need for a balance between art and business. “Life is probably 80 percent management and 20 percent painting. I paint very fast.” And, he’d like to start an artist’s roundtable once a month — usually on Saturday afternoons — contact him if interested. Two other painters offer weekly classes in his space: Valorie Snyder teaches intermediate and advanced painting on Tuesday afternoons (valo-
riesnyder@gmail.com) and Scott Lines is trying to get a plein air class going, he said (scottlines@yahoo. com).

“Portrait of a Gentleman” by Bartolomeo Veneto, a later Venetian Renaissance work, shows the inclusion of nature and the influence of northern European painters in Venice. It is included in the “Glory of Venice” exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. Courtesy photo ers from the Netherlands. I’d recommend a second trip around through the galleries after one has watched the progression, to revisit and consolidate thinking. The installation, with architectural
details and several photomurals, is beautifully planned, with richly colored walls that enhance the paintings. There is also a short video about the transition from egg tempera to oil paints that one should watch.

Bowling building becoming bigger, ‘better’
Brunswick Zone XL reopens as Bowlero Lone Tree
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teens, families and organizers have a new venue for their evenings, parties and events as the Brunswick Zone XL bowling alley has reopened under the name Bowlero Lone Tree. “We’re planning on being a premiere destination for everything from kids’ birthday parties to corporate events,” said Lauren Donley, regional sales and marketing manager for Bowlmor AMF. “We
view ourselves as a great entertainment and night life destination.” The restructuring is part of a strategy by the parent company, Bowlmor AMF, owner of the Brunswick and Bowlero brands. The Lone Tree location at 9255 Kimmer Drive is Colorado’s first Bowlero, already successful in Texas and California. The multimillion-dollar renovation contains technology upgrades such as kiosks at each of the 48 lanes for bowlers to order food and drinks and lane-length video screens that will play old movies and music videos. A new sound system will be in use throughout the week, but will be especially useful on Friday and Saturday evenings as live DJs will be on
S
hand until 2 a.m. A new menu is another improvement, Donley said. Created by Executive Chef Edward Porter, it features shareable items like the 5-pound Behemoth Burger and the 2-foot Chi-Town Mega Dog. The layout of the more than 60,000foot building will be more welcoming with a comfortable feel, Donley said. Lounge seating will surround the interior and a backyard theme near one of Bowlero’s two new bars will feature an indoor fireplace and cozy lighting. Three “party corrals,” semi-private rooms for events and gatherings. are also included in the design. “We basically renovated every aspect
of the building,” Donley said. “Every touchpoint of the design is enhanced.” Jeff Holwell, economic development director for the City of Lone Tree, said the improvements exemplify Bowlero’s commitment to rejuvenating the entertainment district, an area of the city near Yosemite Street and Park Meadows Drive that features many restaurants and a movie theater. “The fact that they’re reinvesting in the space and recommitting themselves to being an anchor in the entertainment district is really great,” Holwell said. “We expect it will bring in people from around the the region and bring new life to the district.”

Cancer Continued from Page 9
comes with some pain. And yet, Burgess said, it was worth it. She can explain why through a single statement her surgeon made before beginning the mastectomy. “Your risk is 84 percent right now,” the doctor said, about getting breast cancer. “When I wake you up, I’m going to tell you that it’s 4.” While the average person’s risk of breast cancer is 12 percent, those carrying the BRCA 1 or 2 gene have an 80 to 84 percent chance of developing breast cancer, according to Burgess’ breast surgeon,
Joyce Moore. Moore has been in practice for 23 years and works at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. A mastectomy can lower a woman’s risk of breast cancer by up to 90 percent, she said. “It’s not as bad as they think it is,” Moore said about the procedure. “It’s not like their grandmothers’ mastectomies.” Today’s surgeries are less painful and less disfiguring than those of decades past, she said. Women can also make the choice to have reconstructive surgery. It’s not a requirement, she said, but it sometimes gives women a result that allows them to feel like themselves again. Like any medical procedure, there are risks, Moore said. Recovery time and regaining a full range of motion take work. While many return to a normal life
in two to four weeks, others experience long-term or even chronic pain following a mastectomy or reconstructive surgery, she said. Burgess believes knowledge is power: Knowing whether or not you have a cancer-causing gene allows you to make the best decisions for your health. However, it can also be a strenuous situation, said Jinnah Phillips, a breast radiologist at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. Knowing about the high risk factor can lead to psychological and emotional turmoil for women, she said. “Every time they come in for a mammogram they’re wondering if the shoe is going to drop,” she said. As a radiologist, Phillips helps monitor for signs of cancer and calls for biopsies when necessary. The process to diagnosis
is stressful, she said, especially when a routine mammogram is enough to make some women nervous. Having the surgeries is often to bring mental relief, she said. Carrying the BRCA gene has, in a way, made her feel lucky, Burgess said. Because she knew she was predisposed to the disease, she had the opportunity to act — something her mother didn’t have. Toward the end of her mother’s battle, she asked Burgess’ permission to go. “And I lied and said `yes,’ ” Burgess said through tears. Burgess is hopeful that now her children will never face the same terrible farewell. “Mostly, I feel the relief,” she said. “And I feel strong.”

Local charity helps young women attend college 7 Sisters Charity raises money to provide scholarships to high school girls By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity Tina Benner likes to give back. She’s a Girl Scout leader. She teaches a social justice issues class at St. Andrew United Methodist church in Highlands Ranch. And she’s part of a nonprofit organization called 7Sisters Global, which is hosting an upcoming fundraiser. And even after a hit-and-run accident just over a year ago that left her severely injured, Benner continues to have a compassionate mentality. “I’m a better person because of it,” she said. “My husband, my friends and my girls are better people. You realize it’s not your things that matter — it’s your life and how you lead it.” Last September, Benner was jogging along University Boulevard when she was hit by a car and left on the side of the road with critical injuries, including a broken pelvis in five places, a torn aorta and broken fibula. She underwent five surgeries and spent a month in the hospital, followed by intensive rehab and two months in a wheelchair. Benner, who with her husband has three daughters, is progressively getting better. The avid runner of 30 years is able to jog again, depending on the day. “Some days are better than others,” Benner said. “I’m moving forward cautiously.” Benner’s accident made her realize what’s important, she said. For her, that
Family Owned, Family Run
includes empowering young women. Benner and her charity, 7Sisters Global, are hosting a Fall Market from 3- 6 p.m. on Nov. 5 at 205 W. County Line Road, Littleton, to raise money for less fortunate young women who want to attend college. “I want young ladies to know that they are quite capable of doing anything they set their minds to,” Benner said. 7Sisters Global started about six years ago as a group of preschool mothers. As their children grew, the women tossed around the idea of becoming a nonprofit. For the following years, they went on mission trips and held an annual Fall Market with vendors of women-owned businesses. As of a couple of months ago, the charity is a 501(c) nonprofit organization. Last year, the Fall Market funded a $500 scholarship for Bhawana Acharya, a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School. The money went towards college necessities, such as ACT prep classes, applications or a computer. This year, the charity hopes to raise enough money to provide two $1,000 scholarships to young women in high school. The Fall Market will feature 26 vendors — 25 of which are small businesses owned by women — including food, jewelry and household items. Tammy Atchison, who is in 7Sisters Global, picked the businesses by scanning Facebook, attending outdoor markets and through word of mouth. 7Sisters Global members share a commonality: “We chose girls’ education because it can make such a difference in their lives,” Benner said.

Horror film makes debut in Castle Rock Movie shot at local body shop reaches public via special screenings By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com A film shot in Castle Rock last year is complete. “Auto Shop of Horrors” has been made available to the public through screenings in Wyoming, Denver and as of Oct. 21, Castle Rock. The storyline follows a serialkiller mechanic who believes eating enough human eyeballs will enable him to see the future. And, the gory deaths of his customers live up to the horror-film genre. An audience that attended the Oct. 21 screening held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds cringed for
It was also Manka’s first acting gig since high school, he joked, having two lines in the film. Auto Shop of Horror’s theme song was arranged and performed by local alternative rock band Over the Castle. The group includes four Douglas County High School juniors: Lina Corrales, Loren Hardy, Jenna Hardy and Sabrina Meiklejohn. The girls also make a cameo as some of the film’s victims. Tim Gallagher, director of photography for the movie, said they are looking for a distributor. They might eventually pursue offering it on platforms such as iTunes or Hulu. As of now, the special screenings were the only way to see it, he said. For more information, visit the movie’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AutoShopOfHorrors.

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.

the victims and laughed during the movie’s moments of comedic relief. All the crew and actors are from Colorado and one of the main characters, Paul Neal Rohrer, has lived in Castle Rock since 1987. The acting coach and actor said it was an easy and fun project to shoot. He plays the detective who investigates the missing-person cases in town. “I’m always looking for fun and interesting characters,” Rohrer said. “This was one.” John Manka owns the body shop where the movie was filmed, 1 STOP Tire and Auto, and helped produce it. For him, seeing how a movie is made was the best part of being involved. He said people don’t always appreciate the amount of time and effort that brings these productions together. “This has been a fun thing,” he said.

Bronco leaves mark on high school players Denver Broncos running back Kapri Bibbs had the full attention of Castle View football players before a practice session on Oct. 18. The former Colorado State University standout talked to the players for 30 Jim Benton minutes as part of the Game of the OVERTIME Broncos’ Week promotion. And, as coach Dustin Pfeiffer related, his players were intent while listing to Bibbs. “He addressed the team about the importance (of fighting) for everything that you aspire to be,” Pfeiffer said. “He gave his story of how he got to the place he is at currently and his future. “He spoke about the importance of education and doing well in school. He also gave the kids a reference of what it means to be a good teammate and how important it is to care about one another.”

Cherry Creek won the league title with a 7-0-0 record. “We’ve got some things we need to work on, we have to get some guys healthy so it’s nice to have some time off,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire. “It’s about little things in the playoffs. I think it’s a little too much time. It’s a little bit too long of a stretch for us but we have some guys banged up so hopefully by next Thursday (Oct. 27) everybody will be healthy.” Key moments Arapahoe dominated possession and

Action in one place Watching the girls state high school softball tournament brought a “remember-when moment.” The softball tournament was held Oct. 21 and 22 at Aurora Sports Park. There were only three classifications and it was an easy walk between the complexes. So a person could watch a 3A game, stroll to the adjacent complex and catch part of a 5A game or amble to take in a 4A contest. And, all the championship games on Oct. 22 were at the same complex. It reminded me when there were still only three classes and not five and all the games in the boys state basketball tournament were held at the Auditorium Arena in downtown Denver. Some of those Class A Merino teams were fun to watch, along with the bigger schools like Denver Christian, Glenwood Springs, Highland and the big boys like Wheat Ridge, Manual and Boulder, to name just a few. ‘Stringy’ in hall-of-fame class Maurice “Stringy” Ervin, who coached Littleton’s boys and girls swimming teams for 46 seasons, will be inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame at the 53rd annual banquet April 27, 2017 at Denver City Marriott Center. Ervin, a Littleton native who was a three-sport standout for the Lions, coached a combined 12 boys and girls state championship teams and the Lions were runners-up six times under Ervin’s tutelage. He coached 40 individual state champions and 21 state championship relay teams. Ervin will be inducted in a class that includes ex-defensive back Champ Bailey of the Denver Broncos, former Colorado Rockies slugger Dante Bichette, world class mogul skier and Colorado football athlete Jeremy Bloom, CU All-American lineman and nine-season National Football League player John Wooten and squash player Hashim Khan. Douglas County influence in win Cherokee Trail won the Class 5A state softball championship with a 1-0 victory over Broomfield on Oct. 22 at Aurora Sports Park and there was a Douglas County flavor to the Cougars’ title.

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek’s boys won first in the team standings and the Bruins girls were second at the Oct. 20 Region 2 Class 5A state-qualifying cross country meet at Cherry Creek Reservoir. Heritage’s girls team finished fifth, with Eagle runner Mia Henderson coming in ninth, which qualifies her to compete at state. Valor Christian’s boys and girls teams both qualified for state in the Class 4A regionals run the same day over the same course. Twelve teams competed in each of the Class 5A and Class 4A regional state-qualifying cross country meets. The top four teams at each regional plus any runner not on a qualifying team that finished in the top 15 individually advanced to the state meet that will be held Oct. 29 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs. Cherry Creek won the boys team title at the regional race with all five runners finishing individually in the top 20 and all five posting times under 17 minutes. Kyle Moran led the Bruins across the finish line as he finished second with a time of 16:06. “Today wasn’t super-hot for me,” he said after the race. “I fell off my pace about the two mile mark. I probably should have won but the key is we qualified for state as a team. “ He said the race at Cherry Creek Reser-

The Heritage girls team finished fifth in the team standings with 133 points and they were led by Henderson, a freshman. “I tried to help our team run hard, push each other hard and get us to state,” she said. “I am pretty proud of myself because I bettered my personal-best time by almost a minute. I felt stronger today and the fact that all of us were together as a team and supporting each other pushed me to run hard.” Valor’s boys and girls teams qualified for state in Class 4A. Niwot won the boys title with 45 points and Valor was fourth with 106 points.

Bruins’ defense dominates Cherry Creek shuts down leading rusher in the state from Horizon
“You can accomplish a lot of things if you just go out and are prepared.”
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek had a simple mission heading into its Mount Elbert League showdown with Horizon on Oct. 21 at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village. Creek accepted the mission of containing senior running back Cade Verkler, who came into the game averaging 210.9 yards rushing and was the leading Class 5A rusher in the state. The Bruins jumped on top early, scoring all of the game’s points in the first half, and cruised to a 28-0 win as Horizon could never get its ground attack in motion. Cherry Creek improved to 3-0 in the league and 5-3 overall. Horizon slipped to 2-1 and 5-3. “Horizon is a real tough-nosed football team,” Creek coach Dave Logan said. “Verkler led all 5A in rushing. He runs the ball on everybody. We tried to be aggressive up front and make sure we tackled well. I was pleased with our effort.” Key moments Freshman Jayle Stacks ran 62 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the game and the Creek defense did the rest in limiting the Hawks’ rushing attack to 124 yards, 210 yards below their season average. Key players/statistics Verkler finished with 36 yards rushing on 16 attempts. Quarterback Amado Capetillo completed 5-of-17 passes for 50 yards. Jacobs entered the game in the fourth quarter and went 3-for-5 for 57 yards. Creek senior quarterback Trey Windham, a running back when the season started, was 16-of-25 for 204 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for 31 yards. Stacks finished with 78 yards rushing on eight carries.
Dave Logan, Cherry Creek coach
Marcus Miller, Dimitri Stanley and Alec Pell caught the touchdown passes from Windham. They said it “Cherry Creek is a very good football team,” said Horizon coach Frank Ybarra, who didn’t start sophomore quarterback Tyler Jacobs for disciplinary reasons. “They took us out of our element. We’re a run-first team and we had to throw the ball.” Horizon’s slow start shoved the Hawks into a catch-up role. Logan’s young team continues to make strides. “I like the fact we’ve played hard and we continue to play hard,” he said. “You can accomplish a lot of things if you just go out and are prepared. We’re a young team but this group has worked hard and they have been willing to prepare, so that gives us a chance.” Cherry Creek is averaging just six points a game in the second half in eight games this season and Windham knows that has to change. “We’re getting better week by week,” Windham said. “Our offense needs to put points on the board in the second half. We’ve been fortunate with the points we’ve scored in the first half in the past few week. And, our defense keeps playing like they do.”

Cherry Creek stopped in opening round
South metro area teams eliminated in state softball tournament
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon and Douglas County advanced to the second round of the Class 5A state softball tournament on Oct. 21 at Aurora Sports Park but lost to the two teams that played for the state championship. Legend and Cherry Creek were ousted in their opening games. Rock Canyon opened with a 3-2 win over Grand Junction and had eventual state champion Cherokee Trail on the ropes in the quarterfinals. The Jaguars, which ended the season with a 13-10 record, grabbed a 4-0 lead against Cherokee Trail thanks in part to a single by Claire Noyes and a two-run single off the bat of Reggie Gaglione. Heading into the bottom of the seventh, Rock Canyon was nursing a 4-3 lead but a grand slam home by Chloe Knapp sent Cherokee Trail into the semifinals with a 7-4 victory. “It was a great season with a great group of girls,” Rock Canyon head coach Debbie Kortbawi said. “The leadership of the four seniors we had was amazing. They were here three years ago and wanted to get back and they did.” Sophomore pitcher Savanna Reiners hurled a two-hit shutout for Continental League champion Douglas County in a 10-0 first round win over Mountain Range. The Huskies face top-seeded Broomfield and
Soccer
trailed 5-4 in the sixth inning but made three errors as the state runner-up Eagles tallied seven runs to eliminate Douglas County with a 12-4 victory. Douglas County wrapped up the season with an 18-6 record. “They were a tough bunch of kids,” Douglas County coach Brian Stebbins said. “We went down 5-0 to the No. 1 team in the state and they were the best team we’ve seen. These girls did not fold up. They rallied and fought back hard. They had a little more in the tank than we did. “We won our first league championship since 2003, made it to the final eight, so it was a great year.” Legend ended the season with a 16-6-1 record after dropping a first-round 5-3 decision to Fort Collins. The Titans outhit the Lambkins, 11-5, but surrendered two runs in the sixth inning, which snapped a 3-3 tie. Seniors Karlee Arnold and Lexi Hager each had two hits for Legend. Jesse Smith, another senior, belted a two-run homer. “We left 10 runners on and we just couldn’t get that timely hit,” Titans coach Kristen Shirk said. “It was definitely not how we wanted to finish but the softball gods didn’t rule our way against Fort Collins.” Cherry Creek, the tournament’s 16th seed, was whipped 16-1 by Broomfield in the first game but coach Allison McKean feels this year’s team that finished with an 11-12 record might have sparked something. “We hadn’t been to state since 2009,” she said. “Creek is back. Creek has not been known for having a good softball program. We have to keep it going. This was a young team.”
