Centennial’s fiber-optic ‘backbone’ set for completion Underground infrastructure provides faster internet, benefits for business, traffic

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Four years after the project to create a system of underground fiber-optic cable throughout Centennial began, the city is on track to complete its construction by the end of 2018.

The forward-looking technology is expected to bring faster internet to residents and businesses and even change how responsive the city can be to traffic flows.

“In just six months, the city has leases with two internet service providers, the Cherry Creek School District and SEAKR Engineering, providing them the opportunity to create their own fiber connections and realize some of the benefits fiber connectivity can provide,” Mayor Stephanie Piko said in a news release. “We look forward to continuing this positive momentum, which will benefit Centennial residents and businesses.”

JOURNEY TO FIBER TOOK YEARS In 2013, Centennial voters chose to opt out of a state law passed in 2005 called Senate Bill 05-152, which barred local governments from providing telecommunications services to residents or businesses.

At the time, Centennial had a roughly 42-mile “backbone” of fiber-optic lines in many city streets to operate traffic-control signals.

Fiber communication generally works by sending beams of light down thin strands of glass or plastic, contained in a casing and running underground.

Now, the city is on its way to completing roughly 50 additional miles of fiber lines around the end of this year, bringing the project, which kicked off construction in 2016, to a close. The project

Centennial’s fiber system first ran through the middle of the city — roughly from Interstate 25 to South Jordan Road — and is expanding through Centennial’s east and west parts. The east and west “rings” of fiber in the city will be finished around December, Piko has said.

Since construction began in 2016 on the system — referred to as the fiber “backbone” — the deal with Cherry Creek Schools, announced in June, represents the first fiber lease for what the city calls a “community-anchor institution.” That’s a term for enti-

to build the new fiber for multiple uses officially started in 2014.

Centennial’s Fiber Master Plan, which guides the project and goals of fiber use for the city, will cost about $5.7 million to realize and aims to provide improved services to city facilities, schools, businesses, residents and public-safety institutions.

ties like schools, libraries, health-care facilities and other places that serve communities. The city looks forward to connecting more of those institutions to the backbone, Piko said in a previous release.

“This move will allow us to expand and extend our existing fiber network using Centennial’s infrastructure that is already in the ground,” Abbe Smith, spokeswoman for the school district, said at the time. “It is a great example of how collaboration and forward thinking can create new possibilities that benefit kids.”

In March, the city executed its first long-term commercial lease with Canada-based internet provider Ting.

The company offers 1-gigabit service, which is 1,000 megabits per second speed for download and upload — performance that’s impossible on cable and telecommunications networks that share bandwidth among large numbers of customers, according to Ting. It installed service for its first official customer in early September.

Ting builds its own local fiber network in certain neighborhoods by connecting to the city’s fiber system, and it’s the first internet provider to use Centennial’s backbone. The service was on track around the fall to expand in the Willow Creek neighborhood and in nearby areas, according to Ting.

In October, the city announced it executed a lease agreement along the backbone’s central ring with Avata Networks, which will lease one pair of fibers along more than 12,000 feet of the network, according to a news release. A focus of Avata Networks will be to serve the city’s central businesses with enhanced gigabit-speed internet.

Sock it to ’Em challenge spreads across area Mayors join drive to help provide footwear to homeless people

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A group of mayors in the south metro area has taken up a challenge to collect socks throughout December, part of the Sock it to ‘Em campaign, a donation drive to provide socks for the homeless.

The Sock it to ‘Em campaign began as a local effort by two women from the south metro region and has since snowballed into a nationwide

campaign including donations from 40 states. Phillis Shimamoto, of Littleton, and Sue Lee, of Lone Tree, collaborated in the effort in 2012 and collected bout 500 pairs of socks.

This year, the campaign has garnered about 425,000 pairs of socks for the homeless, a cause they feel flies under the radar.

“A pair of socks on a person who is really on the street lasts about a week,” Lee said. “The reality is not only are we providing them socks to keep them warm, but we’re helping to keep them out of the hospital. And we’re causing an awareness. Citizens have become aware of the situation in a way they never would.”

In 2013, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock declared the second Wednesday

in December as Sock it to ‘Em Work Day, an event where workers are encouraged to go without socks for a day to feel what it’s like to not have socks.

This year, that day falls on Dec. 12.

“We didn’t have a road map. We saw a need and we just did it,” Shimamoto said.

Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky spearheaded a region-wide challenge related to the campaign to collect as many socks as possible, the Denver South Sock It Out Challenge.

The challenge will run through the month of December, from Dec. 1-31. So far, the cities of Lone Tree, Centennial and Cherry Hills Village have accepted the challenge.

“When you’re spending most of your time outdoors, like these folks do,

you need socks,” Rakowsky said. “And it’s not something everybody thinks of. This drive will hopefully attract the attention to folks to donate socks to these people who need it.”

The Sock it to ‘Em campaign has gained support nationwide from what it calls “Sock Ambassadors,” including Bombas Socks, a clothing company that donates a pair of socks for every pair sold.

For Lee, the mission is personal.

“I could have been one of those kids, and personally it means a lot to me because I know people help us in a lot of ways, and it touches my heart,” Lee said. “When we give socks to people, it shows we care about people.”

Carriage rides, holiday characters and an ice-skating performance were just a few of the festivities at the 10th annual Holiday Tree Lighting and Santa’s Arrival event Nov. 23 at the outdoor mall.

Brianne Ellis, 16, came with members of a local dance company, Dance Art Media Entertainment, that got in on the fun. The event was her first time dressing up as an elf — she gave out cookies and posed for photos for families.

Her favorite part of the event was “being with all the kids,” she said. “Seeing them take pictures and being happy.”

Thousands of wreaths needed for veterans’ graves

FROM PAGE 2

“We are excited to begin building last-mile infrastructure throughout the City of Centennial, and by leasing fibers from the city’s backbone, it gives us the ability to accelerate our network turnup,” said Brian Snider, Avata’s executive director, in the release. “We plan on starting construction in the spring of 2019 and to lease more capacity as our network expands across the city.”

Avata’s focus is currently businesses close to Centennial Center Park, north of East Arapahoe Road near South Revere Parkway, according to Allison Wittern, city spokeswoman. Avata may expand its presence along the central ring in the future, Wittern said.

SEAKR Engineering, a Centennial-based aerospace manufacturing company, signed a fiber lease with the city to connect two of SEAKR’s facilities.

The fiber backbone could also help improve the city’s Intelligent Transportation System by sending information to drivers through dynamic messaging signs — the electronic customizable signs on roadways that display words with light.

The fiber infrastructure is also expected to enhance the city’s system of traffic cameras and sensors, which will allow the city to time its traffic lights more accurately to traffic flows.

Fiber could even allow residents to age in place — in their homes — more comfortably by allowing doctors to remotely monitor signs like their blood pressure, for example, and letting residents communicate with family in real time, Piko has said.

STAFF REPORT

For 26 years, wreaths have been placed on the graves of veterans buried in U.S. cemeteries.

However, last year just one in five veterans’ graves in Colorado received wreaths, according to David Bolser, CEO of Senior Veterans Inc., a Colorado Springs-based charity leading the wreath campaign.

More than 160,000 veterans are buried in Colorado’s cemeteries, and the mission of Senior Veterans Inc. “is to ensure that every veteran’s grave in a Colorado cemetery will receive a wreath this December,” Bolser said in a news release.

Every $15 wreath that is placed on a veteran’s grave is donated, and the wreaths are handcrafted from Balsam fir and finished with a hand-tied red, velvet bow, the release said. The wreaths are shipped from Columbia Falls, Maine, by volunteer trucking companies, and volunteers place the wreaths on graves on Dec. 15, which is National Wreaths Across America Day, the release said.

To donate a wreath, go to www.coloradohonor.com. All donations must be received

Wreaths will be placed on the graves of veterans on National Wreaths Across America Day on Dec. 15.

All wreaths are donated, and donations must be received by Dec. 3 to allow for enough time for the wreaths to be shipped from Maine, where they are made. GETTY IMAGES no later than Monday, Dec. 3.

The tradition of placing wreaths on veterans’ graves began when a small Maine wreathmaker found himself with a surplus of wreaths at the end of the holiday season.

Rather than discarding the wreaths, arrangements were made to place them on gravestones in an older section of Arlington National Cemetery. Today, more than 1,400 cemeteries in all 50 states participate in National Wreaths Across America Day.

Arrest made in incident that prompted officer-involved shooting Suspect who died by police gunfire reportedly aimed gun at now-arrested man

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Investigators arrested a 43-year-old man on suspicion of criminal mischief after a domestic disturbance Nov. 15, after a teenage suspect related to the same incident ended up in a fatal officer-involved shooting, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office.

Shawn Glover is suspected of flattening a tire on his wife’s vehicle after finding it in an area hotel’s parking lot, according to a news release by the sheriff ’s office on Nov. 20.

Glover found his wife and the other suspect, 18-year-old Allen Fanning, at Big O Tires at East Arapahoe Road and South Potomac Street in Centennial the

morning of Nov. 15, according to the release. Glover reported that Fanning pulled a handgun from the car and pointed it at him before fleeing in the car when sheriff ’s deputies arrived, according to the release.

Fanning died after deputies opened fire on him after he led them on a chase about two miles west to Arapahoe Road and South Dayton Street, where deputies boxed Fanning in with their vehicles, according to the sheriff ’s office. Three deputies were put on paid leave afterward, a previous sheriff ’s office release said.

Deputies pursued Fanning for potential charges of felony menacing after reports he may have threatened someone with a firearm, according to the sheriff ’s office. The office received a call from a bystander at 9:06 a.m. who reported the incident.

“Deputies were pretty close by and responded immediately,” said Julie Brooks, sheriff ’s office spokeswoman.

According to the sheriff ’s office,

here’s how the incident unfolded once Fanning was boxed in: Deputies approached the car Fanning was driving and ordered him to get out.

He ignored their commands, and as officers attempted to break in his window, they saw him reach for what they believed was a firearm. They opened fire on him at about 9:15 a.m.

Deputies immediately removed him from the car and began CPR once he was deemed to no longer be a threat. Authorities recovered a loaded gun from the car.

Fanning was transported to an area hospital and later pronounced dead, according to the sheriff ’s and Arapahoe County Coroner’s offices. His last known place of residence was in the Littleton area, Brooks said.

One deputy received a minor injury and is expected to be OK, Brooks said.

As of Nov. 20, it was still not known what caused the injury, and the deputy was treated and released, Brooks said.

The injury was not due to a vehicle crash, Brooks said Nov. 15.

Brooks did not know how many shots were fired. No one else was in the vehicle with the suspect. The scene sits along the border of Centennial and Greenwood Village.

Brooks said she was not aware of any injuries at the site of the shooting other than those of the suspect and deputy.

Brooks said the 18th Judicial District Critical Response Team would be responsible for determining what kind of weapon Fanning had in the vehicle and whether he grabbed it and pointed it at deputies.

How many deputies shot at the suspect and how many times he was shot would be information released by the Critical Response Team after its investigation, Brooks said.

The names of the deputies involved have not been released. Two of the deputies placed on leave have been with the sheriff ’s office for more than 10 years, and one has been with the agency for three years, according to the earlier news release.

Fatal officer-involved shooting in June justified, report says Gunfire that killed Andrew Paine was legal, according to investigation

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A review by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has determined the fatal shooting of a suspect who fired at sheriff ’s deputies in June was justified, a Nov. 19 report said.

Andrew Paine, 38, died after Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s deputies arrived at a home to check on his wife and exchanged gunfire with him as he drove away from the house, according to the report, which was based on an investigation by the 18th Judicial District Critical Response Team.

Deputies responded to a home in the 6300 block of South Olive Street in Centennial at about 10:30 a.m. June 23 after a woman called with concerns for her friend, Paine’s wife, the sheriff ’s office said in a news release at the time. The wife was on the phone with the woman when Paine hung up the phone, according to the report. The home is near East Arapahoe Road and South Quebec Street.

Paine had a history of bipolar disorder, alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder, according to information law enforcement was told by an

interviewee after the shooting.

According to the report: Paine and his wife had an argument before the call, and he drew a gun after it, prompting a physical struggle over the gun. Paine calmed down and eventually left to a guest room in the house, and his wife and the children fled the house.

A person, likely the wife’s friend, texted Paine back and forth to warn that law enforcement would be called, and Paine responded, “After the cops murder me they’ll find that I have a broken hand and that any perceived threats were falsified.”

Sgts. Bruce Peterson and Brett Cohn and Deputies Derek Goodyear and Mike Stokes responded to Paine’s house at about 10:40 a.m. June 23 after the wife’s friend called 911, and deputies saw a man holding a gun in the garage. Cohn arrived in front of a neighbor’s house and heard a person talking with Paine on his cellphone in speaker mode, and Paine said officers were welcome to enter his home but he would shoot the first one in.

Around that time, deputies heard a gunshot inside the garage. Paine then backed out of his garage in a Jeep, and deputies gave commands for Paine to show his hands and drop the gun he held. Paine pointed a pistol with his left hand out the window at deputies, and Cohn believed he fired the gun.

Peterson believed Paine was shooting as well, and deputies fired at Paine.

‘I find (four law enforcement officers) reasonably feared for their lives when they used deadly force against Andrew Paine.’

Jason Siers, senior chief deputy district attorney, 18th Judicial District

Stokes pulled Paine from the car into the middle of East Caley Avenue, and the Jeep kept rolling until it struck a nearby garage. Goodyear attempted CPR, and South Metro Fire Rescue responded to the scene. Paine was transported to an area hospital and was pronounced dead at about 11:40 a.m.

Paine’s Jeep was searched, and a handgun was found on the driver’sside floor. Two .40 caliber casings were found in the Jeep, one on the floor and one on the center console. Based on the video evidence and casings, Paine fired his gun at deputies while driving, the report said.

The investigation showed deputies fired 31 rounds at Paine: Peterson fired 10 rounds, Stokes fired four, Goodyear fired 14 and Cohn fired three.

Paine sustained two gunshot

wounds to the head and one to the chest, according to the autopsy, the report said.

Bystanders were outside in the area at the time of the shooting, but no one, including the deputies, was hit by any bullets during the incident, according to Julie Brooks, spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office.

Law enforcement officers can use deadly physical force to defend themselves from what they reasonably believe to be the use or imminent use of deadly physical force under state law, Jason Siers, senior chief deputy district attorney, wrote in the report.

“I find Deputy Goodyear, Deputy Stokes, Sergeant Peterson and Sergeant Cohn reasonably feared for their lives when they used deadly force against Andrew Paine,” Siers wrote.

Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act should address ‘vaping’

disturbing public health trend has been reported in recent months: 26 percent of Colorado’s high school students have used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days, which is double the national averGUEST age. In fact, out of 38 states surveyed, COLUMN Colorado had the highest e-cigarette use among high school students.

In the Tri-County Health Department’s three counties — Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas — the number of students John Douglas who have ever used an electronic vape product increased more than 200 percent since 2013!

The epidemic has grown so much

that Gov. John Hickenlooper declared November “Vape-Free” to increase awareness among Colorado’s youth of the damaging, long-term physical and mental effects that ecigarettes have on developing brains.

Nicotine addiction from e-cigarettes can lead to cigarette smoking, creating the potential for long-term consequences such as cancer and heart and lung disease.

Colorado isn’t the only state facing this skyrocketing threat. Recently, the commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared youth use of e-cigarettes across the country an “epidemic” and a dangerous and intolerable trend.

Now is the time to add e-cigarettes to the list of restricted substances indoors as part of the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act. Not only would this improve air quality for everyone, but it would also help in-

crease awareness of vaping’s harmful effects.

E-cigarettes are battery-operated devices that people use to inhale (vape) an aerosol, which typically contain nicotine or other substances such as marijuana, flavorings and harmful chemicals. Extensive research has shown the negative effects of nicotine on developing young brains, such as the impairment of cognitive function and development. When teens become addicted to nicotine, it is more likely they may be addicted for life.

It’s no surprise that new e-cigarette products have recently saturated the market and increasingly, they are being heavily advertised and used in public places by people of all ages. Secondhand smoke from these products continues to threaten community health, while also contributing to the $1.9 billion in health-care

costs associated with smoking each year in Colorado.

The only way to fully eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke is to prohibit cigarette tobacco, marijuana smoking, hookah and e-cigarette aerosolizing in all public places and workplaces, including restaurants, bars and casinos, making them 100 percent smoke-free. This also limits youth vulnerability to secondhand smoke and the normalization that comes from exposure to these products.

More than 10 years ago, Colorado lawmakers passed a statewide smoke-free policy, the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, prohibiting indoor smoking in public places. Five years ago, legislators added marijuana as a restricted substance indoors.

House of Dior gets

display in Denver

Arvada Center curtain rises on Christmas cheer

O

Building a legacy Christian Dior founded the fashion house at age 42, approximately 10 years before his death. Leading up to the venture, he’d taken up fashion illustration as a way to support himself during the Great Depression, leaving behind a career running art galleries.

In 1946 he received the financial backing necessary to open a couture house, and in 1947, Dior the label was born from a townhome at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. The company still operates from this location.

Dior rose on the promise of a “New Look,” also the name of its first collection.

ne of the best things about the holiday season is gathering together with family and friends to watch one of the many classic Christmas movies. One of the more recent entries into the canon is the 2003 Will Ferrell film, “ELF.” In 2010, “ELF” made the leap from the silver screen to the Broadway stage, bringing Buddy the Elf to a whole new audience.

“I saw that original production and I said, ‘I want to do that,’” remembered Josh Houghton, who is now taking on the titular role in the Arvada Center’s production of the show. “This is a dream show for me as an actor. It’s also one for the audience, because there’s something for everyone in it.”

The production of “ELF — The Musical” at the Arvada Center, COMING Wadsworth ATTRACTIONS 6901 Blvd., runs from Nov. 20 through Dec. 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays, 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The run will include happy Clarke Reader hours with the cast, insider talkbacks, a sensoryfriendly performance and more.

Like the movie, the focus of the show is Buddy — a man who was raised in the North Pole with Santa Claus and his elves. But when Buddy learns that his real father (Mark Devine) lives is New York City and, even more shockingly, is a human, Buddy heads south to meet his new family. In addition to learning where he came from, Buddy also might discover love with Jovie (Leslie Hiatt).

“Audiences will still be able to see many of the iconic moments that they know from the movie,” Hiatt said. “Through many technological amazements and the gorgeous costumes, we’re able to bring this story to life. It’s a great family show and so easy to watch.”

Unlike the film, the show features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, with book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin.

So, even those who can quote the movie at the drop of a hat will find something new to entertain and delight them.

“This is a Christmas show, but the theme goes beyond that. It’s really

seum, who curated the show.

Müller, a fashion and art historian, has worked on 15 exhibits about Dior in her career but said this one was “shaped for Denver.” Half of the 15 rooms follow a chronological timeline of the fashion house’s seven creative directors. The other half are thematic.

Each designer to follow Christian Dior — Yves-Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and the present director Maria Grazia Chiuri — brought their own vision to the brand while still paying homage to the founder, Müller said.

ashion fans need wait no longer for the Denver Art Museum’s latest showcase of high fashion and its place in the art world. “Dior: From Paris to the World” opened Nov. 19 and runs through March 3.

The exhibit marks the first major retrospective of the House of Dior in the United States, meaning it highlights nearly all 70 years of the brand’s existence. It’s not a traveling show and was curated especially for the Denver Art Museum, featuring some pieces rarely seen outside Europe.

“This is really an exciting and amazing moment,” said the Frederick and Jan Mayer Director of the Denver Art Museum, Christoph Heinrich, three days ahead of the exhibit’s grand opening.

The project took more than two years to plan and bring to fruition, project leads said. Dressing the mannequins alone took a team of 12 people one month to complete. Shaping one dress to a mannequin could take a full day, and there are more

That’s not counting the other accessories, sketches, photographs and artworks (such as Renoir’s and Monet’s) featured in the exhibit.

Overall, there are more than 500 objects from throughout Dior’s history in the exhibit.

“It was a very important and ambitious project,” said Florence Müller, the Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art and Fashion for the mu-

Art gallery becomes a market for holiday gifts

A

new sort of exhibit in Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery in Littleton is called “Merry at the Market.” Co-curator Moira Casey has collected smaller artworks by nine artists, which she claims transforms Scrooge’s “Bah! Humbug!” to “Buy Humbug.” The exhibit, with 20 percent of sales benefiting Town Hall, offers small two- and three-dimensional SONYA’S pieces and greeting cards that will make SAMPLER very special original gifts for many on readers’ lists for the holidays. The gallery is open weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during productions (Thursday, Friday, Saturday evening and Sunday afterSonya Ellingboe noon).

A special artists’ reception is Dec. 1, from 1 to 8 p.m., when many artists will be present to talk about their work. Light refreshments are promised and a visitor can talk with artists about their work — perhaps you’d be interested in another similar item? Casey notes that the show will be constantly evolving since as items sell, they will be replaced with new and different ones, so more than one visit is in order. Artists: Nancy Larner, Lois Barber, Sunny Monaco, Csilla Florida, Tammy Medsker, Maryann Leake Baisley, Stacy Robinson, Janis Goldblatt and Anna Marie Linning. Town Hall is at 2450 W.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Childish Gambino at the Pepsi Center Who would’ve figured when Donald Glover first popped up on our radar as a writer on “30 Rock” and actor on “Community” that he would become one of the most important artists?

As musician Childish Gambino, he started as a relatively down-the-middle rapper, dropping literate and pop culture friendly verses with references to Dragon Ball Z. As he evolved, he started adding jazz and funk into his sound, culminating in last year’s Grammy-nominated “Awaken, My Love!” and show-stopping single, “This is America.” Plus, his FX show “Atlanta” is just relentlessly good.

All of this makes his rescheduled performance at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4 at the Pepsi Center, 1000 Chopper Circle, with Vince Staples one of the last can’t-miss concerts of 2018.

Staples is one of the best and most innovative rappers working right now, and also happens to be funnier than most comedians. He released an EP called “FM!” this year that is among the year’s best rap releases.

The Ute Tribes’ voice from the past The History Colorado Center, 1200 Broadway in Denver, is opening its new exhibit, Written on the Land: Ute Voices, Ute History, on Dec. 8. The exhibit celebrates the history and contributions of the state’s longest-continuous residents.

The exhibit was built in collaboration with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, and Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, and 30 tribal representatives participated in the planning.

Among its features, there will be more than 150 artifacts from History Colorado’s world-class collection, including Ute beadwork, clothing, basketry and contemporary craft.

Written on the Land will be a longterm exhibit at the History Colorado Center, responding to ongoing requests from visitors and educators for more American Indian history and exhibits.

As a little girl, I lost my older brother in the battle against cancer. The experience changed me forever. Now, as a radiation oncologist, it makes me more of a compassionate physician and brings me closer to my patients in understanding what they are going through. The team at Littleton Adventist Hospital is filled with genuinely remarkable caregivers – each with their own personal mission – inspired to provide dedicated, whole person health care.

What is more important is the gratitude that others who aren’t so well-off feel when they too get to have a meal. The appreciation they have for the meals that must be provided for them. And whether we funded those meals, made those meals, served those meals, or delivered those meals, my hope would be that we all felt grateful for having had the opportunity to serve others in some way.

You see, being grateful isn’t just reserved for when we get things or assistance, it is also about having gratitude and appreciation for when we have the opportunity to bless and serve others.

It is an incredible feeling to give, to give cheerfully and thankfully. You know the feeling I am talking about don’t you? The smile on someone’s face when we help, the firm handshake of the people we are lifting up, the tears of joy in their eye, the warm embrace and hug.

And remember what “HUG” stands for, Having Unbelievable Gratitude.

What I am talking about here is developing and maintaining the spirit of Thanksgiving and creating a habit of gratitude and appreciation that goes far beyond the holiday. I hope that it is a habit that we will never want to break. We can all show our appreciation more, we can all demonstrate gratitude, we can do it through the

Imagine a person, for example, who was separated from his parents in an Indian Boarding School or whose great-grandmother was abused by her slave master. And if new stresses or traumatic incidents are occurring, those are added to the “historical generational trauma” that keeps building and living within us.

Where is this going? Well, it’s that time of year when some of us are in a really good mood and excited for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays acknowledged by our government— those who have “all the trimmings and trappings” of prosperity and are a part of the dominant culture or religion. To them, a feeling of gratefulness can come naturally. However, for those of us currently or continuing to live in poverty, are non-Christian, or non-white, there can be historical and

Now in 2018, with the challenges that Colorado faces from growing use of e-cigarettes, it is critical for the legislature to modernize the Clean Indoor Air Act by following the lead of more than 29 Colorado municipalities and 13 states across the country that have already implemented policies to address ecigarette use in public places.

simplest of ways too. A simple thankyou, a quick note, a card, a smile, a call, a text, and maybe just doing something to help out in return or pay it forward.

Our world could use more people with an attitude of gratitude. Our community could use more people developing a habit of gratitude and appreciation. Our families can all become stronger and closer when we recognize each other and share how blessed we are to be a family.

A habit starts when we do. What if today, we all set a goal to live out Thanksgiving each and every day? What if we could change someone’s minute, hour, day or life by showing them a little more gratitude and appreciation? I know that you already know the answer, we would be living in a world that has just a little more love and kindness, a little more love and gentleness, and a little more love and forgiveness.

So how about you? I hope you won’t be too surprised if I say Happy Thanksgiving if I run into you somewhere in February, or April, or next September.

And I do hope that you will try and create a new attitude of gratitude habit for yourself. As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we are successful at creating that new habit, it really will be a better than good life.

current trauma within ourselves that sometimes we just can’t “shake off.”

Still for others, we might have physical or emotional pain that prevents us from getting into the appreciation mood.

So when we wonder why someone “just can’t be grateful,” perhaps we can think about what else might be happening with them on the inside, historically and today. Conceivably, if we all did that and showed more compassion with each other, we might just have a whole community of abundant gratitude.

Today, with an attitude of gratitude …

FROM PAGE 12

The collection offered women feminine, glamorous styles craved by many in the postwar era and which starkly contrasted with the masculine shapes worn during World War II. The first room of the exhibit begins here. Two rows of nearly all-black ensembles from the New Look collection flank the walkway that leads visitors from the exhibit entrance back through time. One line features full skirts and the other narrow silhouettes.

Some criticized this first collection, pegging it as wasteful luxury, according to the Denver Art Museum, while others took offense to the sensual designs. Many New Look pieces featured emphasized busts, accentuated hips and slim waists.

Still, the house created a lasting legacy and has attracted some of the most famous women in history to its doors, hence the exhibit room dubbed “Ladies in Dior.”

Grace Kelly wore Dior for her engagement announcement, Marilyn Monroe wore Dior in her last photo shoot and Elizabeth Taylor was among actresses who wore the fashion house’s designs.

Other current names like Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman and Rihanna are but some of the famous women to don Dior pieces today. Dresses worn by each can be found at the exhibit.

More recently, Michelle Obama wore an all-Dior outfit on the cover of Elle magazine’s December issue, and model Karlie Kloss wore a custom Dior dress for her October wedding to Joshua Kushner.

Going global Dior forged a global reach — the result of strategic business moves that earned Christian Dior a reputation for pioneering key aspects of the fashion industry.

“This house was always on the top of the game of the fashion world,” Müller said.

He championed offering women with everything they would need to complete an outfit in one boutique.

From lip colors to shoes and jewelry, the exhibit outlines this approach to

“Dior: From Paris to the World” is on display at the Denver Art Museum from Nov. 19 through March 3. Located on Level 2 of the Hamilton Building, 100 W 14th Avenue Parkway in Denver, tickets are available for purchase online at denverartmuseum.org or by calling 720-913-0130. Parking is available in the Cultural Center Complex Garage at 12th Avenue and Broadway. fashion in a showroom called “The Total Look.”

Dior also took his fashion house global by licensing other companies to manufacture products under Dior’s control and establishing locations in countries including the United States, Mexico, Chile and ultimately on five continents.

Christian Dior and his time around the world can be seen and felt in designs throughout the fashion house’s history. This largely inspired the exhibit’s finale — a large room with stair-like platforms that stack internationally influenced designs high above the floor.

The exhibit was designed by architecture firm OMA New York and led

by Shohei Shigematsu, partner and director of OMA New York.

The team drew inspiration from Christian Dior’s life and from the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building, merging the two worlds of classical Paris and contemporary Denver. Walkways mimic paths from Christian Dior’s private home and garden, and backdrops are built of raw aluminum, mirroring the Denver Art Museum’s modern exterior.

“I think it gives a very interesting environment, an immersive environment,” Shigematsu said.

Müller said it’s difficult to pick a favorite or most significant piece featured in the exhibit but praised a taffeta evening ensemble worn by Rihanna in 2017 and designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri. Most significant may be the New Look collection, she said, calling it “the manifesto” of Dior.

Heinrich said the museum hopes their exhibit draws people to Denver and showcases the artform of haute couture. On Nov. 16 Müller said she was eager for people to see the show but was sad to think about their time working on it coming to a close.

“The opening of the exhibit is almost,” she said, “the end of the adventure.”

Creek sophomore James Walker skips through for a gain during the Bruins’ 10-7 Class 5A semifinal state football playoff win over Columbine on Nov. 23 at Jeffco Stadium. The Bruins scored the lone touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter and Creek’s defense held the explosive Rebels offense to 110 yards rushing and 157 yards of total offense.

Creek to face Valor for 5A title Bruins edge previously unbeaten Columbine in state semifinals Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan concluded his postgame comments to his football team on Nov. 23 on the field at Jeffco Stadium with a few meaningful words.

He told his team that they needed to continue to work hard and practice would be held Monday, since they will be playing in the state championship game.

His comments set off more celebrations following the Bruins’ 10-7 victory over previously unbeaten Columbine in the Class 5A semifinals.

Cherry Creek (12-1) will play another unbeaten team when the Bruins face top-seeded Valor Christian at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at Denver Broncos Stadium at Mile High Stadium in the state championship game.

The semifinal game was a contest between two run-heavy teams, and the defenses for both teams played well.

Cherry Creek players celebrate following their 10-7 Class 5A state semifinal playoff victory over previously unbeaten Columbine on Nov. 23 at Jeffco Stadium.

Creek will play Valor Christian in the state championship game Dec. 1.

The Bruins’ ground attack, sparked by junior Seamus Henderson, and a solid defense propelled Creek into its 17th state title game.

The school has won nine state championships, the last one in 2014 with a victory over Valor Christian.

“I told my team we just beat a quality team,” said Logan. “Last year (in a semifinal loss) we didn’t get all the way. I’m proud of the

kids for hanging in there. They found a way to put a drive together.

We made enough plays to win.

“We played 48 minutes and that’s a characteristic of this team all year long. You need an effort like that to beat really good teams. I thought our defense made some key stops and that critical turnover at the end was the difference.”

adison Hema skipped playing with her club basketball team in the summer.

She instead went to New Zealand and Belarus for a few weeks, but it wasn’t a vacation.

She went overseas to play basketball.

OVERTIME Hema, a 6-foot-2 senior at Castle View, was a member of New Zealand’s U17 women’s team that finished 12th in the FIBA World Cup tournament which was held July 21-29 in Jim Benton Minsk, Belarus.

“It took her a little bit,” said Castle View coach and Madison’s father Matt Hema. “The first couple games she was pretty nervous.

After that she kind of realized that she plays against good girls every day in the U.S. in club, high school or wherever.”

Hema, who has signed to play at Washburn (Kansas), is a dual citizen of both New Zealand and the United States. Her dad was born and raised in New Zealand before moving to the United States 24 years ago.

In seven World Cup games, she averaged 9.1 minutes of playing time, 1.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.3 assists. She started to develop more perimeter shots and returned home a more versatile player who would attempt 3-point field goals.

“She understood the competition level was top-notch,” said Matt Hema. “She wasn’t that far away from those teams and players and what they looked like. She could go out and still be productive.”

Madison Hema has been limited in Castle View’s practice sessions because of an ankle injury, but the Sabercats were ranked ninth in the preseason CHSAANow.com preseason Class 5A poll that was released Nov. 19.

Coaches always say teams are different from year to year, so there’s no doubt most of the first rankings of the season are based on last year’s teams.

In the past, Castle View has been a team that comes on strong toward the end of the season, and this campaign should be no different.

“We have eight seniors on the team and seniors show more maturity and leadership,” said coach Hema. “We have one of the toughest schedules in the state.

Six of those teams were ranked in the Top 10 of the initial poll.

Area teams were sprinkled all over the girls polls.

Highlands Ranch was No. 3 in the 5A girls poll behind Grandview, which was top-ranked.

Horizon was fourth, Cherry Creek sixth, Ralston Valley was seventh, Lakewood eighth, Castle View ninth and Valor Christian 10th.

Golden was 10th in the preseason 4A girls rankings.

Lutheran was sixth in the 3A poll and Faith Christian 10th.

Mountain Vista’s girls team on Nov. 17 won the Nike Southwest regional cross country championship in Casa Grande, Arizona, and qualified for the national meet to be held Dec. 1 in Portland, Oregon.

Sarah O’Sullivan led the charge for Vista with an eighthplace finish with a time of 17:32.2.

The first- and second-place teams and the top five individuals not on those teams qualify to run in the nationals.

Cherry Creek’s Riley Stewart was seventh in the girls 5,000-meter race but the leading six runners were unaffiliated.

Columbine, seeded second in the playoff bracket, came into the game averaging 311.1 yards per games rushing but were held to 110 yards by the third-seeded Bruins. The Rebels finished with 157 yards of total offense. Columbine averaged 40 points a game prior to the semifinal game against Creek, and the seven points scored were the fewest in 51 games by a Columbine team since a 12-7 loss to Fountain Fort Carson on Aug. 22, 2014.

Creek rushed for 123 yards and had 166 yards of total offense. The Bruins added to Mac Willis’ 37-yard first-half field goal with a 58-yard, 14-play scoring drive that erased 5:43 from the clock for the winning TD in the fourth quarter.

The Bruins, who held a 17:45-6:15 advantage in time of possession in the second half, scored with 10:46 left to play in the game on a 6-yard run by Henderson.

“He made some big runs in the second half,” Logan said.

Henderson, a junior, wound up with 103 yards on 25 carries. He sealed the win with a 28-yard run on a third-and-13 play with just over a minute left.

“I try to run like I weigh 200 pounds,” said Henderson, who actually weighs 170. “I didn’t expect to carry the ball that much. It wasn’t just me. Jaylee (Stacks) set it up for me with a block and all I did was score. We did it as a team. There’s nothing like going to the state championship game.”

Alec Pell stripped the ball and Gus Zilinskas recovered the fumble with 2:15 left to play in the game.

“I knew we would hold them and get the win,” said Pell. “It’s an awesome feeling.”

Cherry Creek heads into the title game with a 2-5 overall record against Valor Christian. The Bruins won the first two games against the Eagles, including a 25-24 win in the 2014 state title game, but have lost the past five games against Valor.

South Denver Heart Center treating Atrial Fibrillation without radiation SPONSORED CONTENT In 2016, Dr. Sri Sundaram of the South Denver Cardiology Associates in Littleton became the first electrophysiologist in Colorado to do cardiac ablations without x-rays to treat Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib). This is groundbreaking because not only did Sundaram make the procedure safer for patients by eliminating the use of radiation, but he also made it more comfortable for surgeons, nurses and staff.

The American Heart Association describes A-Fib as a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. Accord- Dr. Sri Sundaram ing to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), A-Fib is a common heart problem, impacting more than 6.1 million Americans each year.

However, while A-Fib is common, Sundaram said, “I’ve often said I would win a Noble Prize if I could tell you what causes it, because no one really understands it.”

Since regular medication usually doesn’t work, patients suffering from A-Fib go through a procedure known as cardiac ablation. During the procedure, physicians and patients are exposed to high radiation levels. Radiation exposure in one ablation is equivalent to a person getting 75 chest x-rays.

in his 20s suffering from A-Fib. He sought out Sundaram because he had already had cancer, and having to go through ablation with radiation was risky because he was susceptible to his cancer returning.

As Sundaram perfected the procedure, his initial thought is it would take longer, but as he continued doing them and got better, he said the end result was that an ablation went from taking more than two hours to just around 97 minutes.

During ablation, doctors guide tubes through the groin and into the heart to scar tissue, working to get the heart to beat normally again.

In about 75 percent of the cases, the first procedure works. However, there are patients who need a second or third procedure, meaning even more radiation.

cedure without the radiation,” Sundaram said.

“If you look at the amount of radiation commonly used during one of these procedures, it’s going to cause issues later. We are running cancer risks for the patient. I wanted to find a way to use less and less radiation. I wanted to find a way to use zero radiation.”

Embarking on this goal to use less radiation, Sundaram said it took about 13 months to get it perfected, using an ultrasound instead of x-rays.

For doctors, to avoid being exposed to the high levels of radiation, they wear as much as 40 pounds of x-ray cloths. Sundaram said wearing that much equipment during multiple ablation procedures became a burden, causing orthopedic problems for not only himself but nurses and staff in the room during the procedure.

“I went through steps during the procedures,” he explained. “I would start with one stage and say we are going to do this step without any radiation. Then, I would do another step without it. Over time, we got to a point where we are now doing non-radiation ablations.”

“With advancement in imaging technology, I believed there had to be a way to do this pro-

Not realizing what this breakthrough meant to some patients, Sundaram recalled a patient

When asked how he felt about being the first doctor in Colorado to create a method that is safer for patients and doctors and staff, Sundaram said its progress and that’s what matters.

Now, teaching doctors nationwide how to do the procedure, Sundaram said, “We all work together. If we see someone else who has a better idea that benefits our patients, you take it. In this case, we share it.”

Sri Sundaram is one of 6 cardiac electrophysiologists , or physicians specializing in the abnormal electric circuitry of the heart, at South Denver Cardiology Associates. They are, Daniel Alyesh, MD, William Choe, MD, Roger Damle, MD, Ryan Jordan, MD, Jehu Mathew, MD.

County coroner employee to teach death investigation techniques in Mexico STAFF REPORT

A medicolegal death investigator from the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office will travel to Oaxaca, Mexico, to teach child death investigations to crime scene investigators and criminologists.

Elizabeth Ortiz, who is bilingual and fluent in Spanish, will teach a group of professional criminologists from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2 at the Forensic Institute of Investigations, Latin America (Forense de Investigaciones Latinoamerica) in Huatulco, Oaxaca, Mexico. Ortiz will conduct her teaching in Spanish, and will translate for other instructors from around the United States.

“I cannot express how honored I am to have been chosen to represent Arap-

ahoe County at the 13th International Congressional Meeting for Criminologists and Forensic Sciences,” Ortiz said in a news release. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share my knowledge in my native language about how to investigate child deaths.”

Ortiz worked for the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office from 1992-99 as a pathologist assistant. She returned to the county in 2006 as a medicolegal death investigator. In 2013, she graduated from Regis University with a master’s degree in criminology.

Ortiz now investigates all unattended deaths in Arapahoe County and makes death announcements on site when there is no physician present. She also teaches child death investigations to local law enforcement agencies throughout Colorado.

Centennial resident honored by DAR chapter STAFF REPORT

The Mount Lookout Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution honored Lt. Col. Jack S. Ballard with a Founders Medal, Ellen Hardin Walworth Medal for Patriotism.

The medal honors an individual who has shown outstanding patriotism through faithful and meritorious service to community, state or nation.

A graduate of the Air Force Academy, Ballard served his country for 27 years. Not only was he interested in aviation and aerospace, but he became passionate about military history. Because of these interests he researched and authored several books, including “Commander and Builder of Western Forts: The Life and Times of Major General Henry C. Merriam, 18621901,” “War Bird Ace: The Great War Exploits of Capt. Field E. Kindley,”

and two “Images of America” books - “Fort Logan” and “Lowry Air Force Base.”

Ballard also worked with the Friends of Historic Fort Logan to help restore a neglected 1889 Queen Anne house on the Fort Logan campus.

Using his knowledge in Western and military history, he helped in preserving some of Denver’s history from that time period.

A former school board member of Littleton Public Schools, Ballard also volunteers at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum and serves as a docent at Fort Logan. Ballard lives in Centennial.

The Daughters of the American Revolution welcomes women over the age of 18 with lineage to a patriot of the American Revolution. For more information on the DAR or membership, please contact our chapter at www. mountlookout.coloradodar.org.
