PL E ASE RECYCLE
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com Steven and Beverly Williams can see the railroad tracks from their back porch. As the train comes though, several times throughout the day and again in the early morning hours before the sun rises, the house rattles and glasses clink together in the cabinet. But that is not their biggest concern.
Having purchased the home in Castle Rock’s historic downtown in 1973, Steven Williams was well aware of the train tracks. But over the years, he said, the noise of passing trains has grown louder. According to the Association of American Railroads, freight rail traffic increased from 3.1 million containers a year in 1980 to 13.5 million containers in 2014. And a new federal rule in 2005, which mandates a consistent pattern and decibel level of horn-sounding at public at-grade crossings, requires train horns to be between 96 and 110 decibels at public crossings. While this regulation implements a maximum decibel Trains continues on Page 7
ESTABLISHING A QUIET ZONE A quiet zone is a section of a rail line at least one-half mile in length that contains one or more consecutive public highway rail-grade crossings at which locomotive horns are not routinely sounded when trains are approaching the crossing. Colorado has 13 established quiet zones. Three are in Arvada, three in Commerce City, two in Fort Morgan and one on the west end of Castle Rock. The others are in El Paso County, Monument, Winter Park and Westminster. Implementing a quiet zone in the historic downtown area of Castle Rock would include installing four
quadrant gates, one on each side of the track to ensure cars cannot get around the gate. A cable would also have to be installed at each crossing. Because of regulations, Councilman Chip Wilson said Second and Third streets also would need to be quieted in addition to the main quieting on Fifth Street because of proximity. But improvements already made to the Fifth Street crossing have created enough of a barrier to qualify as a quiet zone without the gradient gate. This, according to Wilson, reduces the estimated cost of the project to about $750,000 from $1.8 million.
No holding back Oktoberfest in Castle Rock Event keeps growing from past years
IF YOU GO What: Oktoberfest
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com
When: 1 to 8 p.m. Oct. 3
Oktoberfest has been a tradition in Castle Rock for over 10 years, but Kevin Tilson, director of the Castle Rock Downtown Alliance, said that this year’s will be the biggest event yet. Forty kegs are ordered for the festivities, which is 11 more than last year, and more than double that of three years ago. “The fall in Colorado is a great time to be outside drinking a beer,” Tilson said, adding that feedback from event attendees led to a time change. This year’s event will be held from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 3, to cater to the after-dinner crowd. In addition to more beer, the event has also grown in space.
Cost: Free

FACES AMONG US Patti Handby has many passions, including, art, reading, cooking and traveling. Photo by Shanna Fortier
HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
PATTI HANDBY Program director at library, art and nature lover About me Im a first-generation child of immigrant parents. I’ve lived in various places including Europe for three years before moving to Castle Rock 21 years ago. I have three children that have all gone through the Douglas County School system. I really enjoy nature and I love waking up and seeing the beauty around us. Living abroad I lived in Germany and visited many counties while I was there. I still love to travel. That’s one of the biggest things on my bucket list. I look forward to traveling more and reading. I’m getting my passport ready because I’m getting ready to go to Europe in 2016. Love of art and cooking I love art and I promote art and artists. My love of art started at the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh, where it was free and you could just roam the halls. I felt more at home there then most places because I could try to imagine what the artists con-
veyed. I attended opera, studied voice, I danced. I couldn’t paint or draw but I could always appreciate it. And I love to cook. Italian food mostly. So that’s the other part of my culture. Working at the library I’ve been working at the library for the past 11 years. I’m always amazed at the people you meet at the library. I connect people to other people. That’s my favorite thing to do. I love people. And I think I’m a go-to person. I help people find meeting rooms and places that their group can meet. I help promote events. One of the ones I’m personally involved in is the upcoming Stem Wars. We’re hoping to get 1,200 people, kids and parents to come to the events center. Every program we put our heart and soul into because we know the community. It’s been very fun to be working at the library. It’s really about making connections. You have to have you finger on the pulse of the community, and I feel like that’s what I’m best it. I hope to be the most welcoming place, at the library. All about reading Reading is a passion. I read everything. What has happened to me is a metamorphosis from going from a non-fiction reader to a fiction reader. I feel like I’ve changed. I’m beginning to be top-heavy with fiction, especially historical fiction. Right now, I’m reading “Flash Drive” by Alec Nesbitt. By Shanna Fortier.

Finding the poetry in teaching Editor’s note: This is the first of an occasional series about Judy Racine, who will retire at the end of this school year after 40 years of teaching. The gang of secondand third-graders tumbles in from recess with an effervescent energy that bounces Ann Macari through the lowHealey ceilinged room. “Yay!” Tim pumps a fist into the air. “We’re doing poetry! I love poetry!” Judy Racine folds her long, lanky body onto a short stool at the edge of a circular rug. “Let’s scrunch up close here,” she says. “Sit down on your bottoms. I need to see your faces. Come close.” The kids settle into a crooked ring, kneeling, sitting, listening to Judy read poems about fruits and vegetables written by last year’s students, discussing their favorite words and lines. Behind Judy is a paper pad with the words I can explain what poetry means to me. “What does that mean?” she asks. “What is this learning target going to ask you to do?” Arms dart into the air. “Write something beautiful,” Gage says, “and not too long and not too short.” Which is how you could describe what happens in this room: Never-ending poems that tell stories — not too long and not too short — of revelation and wonder and a hunger for knowledge instilled by a teacher. That is, incontrovertibly, beautiful. •••• Judy, as her students call her, is 64. She plans to retire at the end of this school year, after 40 years in education. The daughter of a dairy farmer in a small town in Devon, a county in southwest England known for its countryside and seashores, she stumbled into teaching. She left school at 16, as many did then who didn’t qualify for advanced-level schooling, and soon after took a bus to London searching for direction. She worked short stints as a hospital receptionist and at a children’s charity and traveled throughout Europe.
Teacher Judy Racine takes a selfie with her crew of second- and third-graders at Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning. She is retiring this year after 40 years of teaching. Courtesy photo “When you’re a teen, you want to get away,” she says. “And I needed a different adventure in my life.” At 21, she won a full scholarship to a teaching college and four years later began teaching fourth-graders at a primary school with a group of other new teachers. “It was the blind leading the blind,” she remembers. “We didn’t know what to do.” But she learned. “You figure it out by doing it,” Judy says. “You figure it out by watching great teachers teach. That’s how you figure it out. And you have each other.” The reason she stayed so long in the classroom is easy: The kids. “Their experiences are new every day,” she says. “You see their eyes and their wonder and how they open up to learning. It’s cool. It’s like watching a seed grow.” She is, however, ready to wind up this chapter, not only to explore new experiences, but also because the state of teaching has changed so drastically.

PAINTING THE TOWN
M O M E N TS I N T I M E F R O M YO U R C O M M U N I T Y
Firefighter Jay Allen paints over new layers of primer to the exterior of a house. “When people have problems, it’s our job to really find a way to help them out. We not only help with emergencies but we do a lot of not-emergent type jobs. A lot of us work on our own time because we know it’s good for the community.” Community volunteers joined the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department Sept. 26 to prepare homes around town to be painted in the ninth-annual Paint-AThon, which will be held Oct. 3. The Paint-A-Thon is one way firefighters give back to those without the physical ability and the financial resources to paint the exterior of their home. Community membres interested in volunteering Oct. 3 should call 303-660-1066.

An afternoon in the bowl Cash Bott, 5, gets the park to himself By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The skate park at Metzler Ranch Park, which is usually brimming with Tony Hawk hopefuls, was empty on a recent Thursday afternoon save for Cash Bott. The 5-year-old was there with his mother, practicing his tricks before the big kids got there.
“He love it,” Becca Bott said, as her son rode his bike up the ramp. They try to visit the park three times a week and Bott loves to watch the older kids do tricks. Since he had the run of the place to himself, and because his bike is a little big for him still, Bott switched to ridding his scooter. He rode around the empty bowl doing bunny hops and tail whips. When he’s not at the skate park, Bott practices at his Castle Rock home, doing tricks off the back deck.

It helps the community build unity when it comes together for one common purpose.”

Breast cancer survivors share inner strength Amy McDowell and Minda Carmann were both in their 30s when they were diagnosed
In support of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, THE NEWS-PRESS is going pink! Search this week’s paper and look for ads with pink ribbons. Each advertiser that displays a pink ribbon has made a special donation toward local breast cancer research. For more details on the pink ribbon promotion, please see the ad in this week’s paper. Colorado Community Media also will feature special editorial coverage throughout October to bring awareness about breast cancer and inspiration through the stories of people who have fought the disease. A portion of all pink ribbon sales will go toward breast cancer research.
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was estimated that in 2015, 231,840 women and 2,350 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States, according to Susan G. Komen. In Colorado, it was estimated that 125 of every 100,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. For many, the statistics are frightening. But for those fighting the battle of breast cancer, the support and love of family members and friends is what strengthened them during their fight. Here are the stories of two survivors in the south metro area and how they got through their fight. Amy McDowell, Highlands Ranch Amy McDowell is a native of Colorado, and has spent the last eight years living in Highlands Ranch. Six years ago, when she was pregnant with her second son, she found a lump in her left breast. “I credit my OB/GYN for saving my life,” she said. “He took my concerns seriously — many doctors don’t in young women, saying, ‘You’re too young’ — and recommended a mammogram.” She was 32 at the time and wouldn’t have had a regularly scheduled mammogram for eight more years. McDowell was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer at 36 weeks pregnant and had a double mastectomy two weeks later. She started chemotherapy three weeks after that. Her oldest son was 4 years old. “Before I was diagnosed, I had always thought I would be the type of person to crumble if I got diagnosed with cancer,” McDowell said. “However, I learned that I possessed a fighting spirit; buoyed by the love of my husband, family and friends. I knew from day one that I would fight this with all I had.” But there were down times, especially in the beginning. And in down times, motivational quotes kept her going. “Throughout my breast cancer journey, my husband and I were so blessed to feel the love of so many around us,” McDowell said. “It’s when you go through something truly life-changing that you learn how much your friends and community really care about you.

Minda Carmann, Castle Rock Castle Rock resident Minda Carmann was 37 when she said her world fell apart. After feeling a lump during a self breast exam in June 2014, she scheduled an appointment with her doctor. The doctor originally said that there was nothing to worry about, but Carmann was sent for a mammogram any-
way. “I had some girlfriends that went through it, but I thought that would never happen to me,” Carmann said. She was diagnosed with Stage 1 invasive breast cancer. “The first couple months were really rough not knowing what you’re dealing with, what the plan is,” Carmann said, adding that she has a history of depression and anxiety. “That set in really hard,” she said. “The first couple months, I didn’t have a lot of fight in me.” Over the last year, Carmann has had several surgeries in her road to recovery. But her husband, her mom and other women with breast cancer have been the forces that

pulled her out of depression. “I had women who said, ‘You’re going to make it though this, stop feeling sorry for yourself,’” Carmann said, adding that once she had a plan in place, she felt a lot better. She still has one more surgery scheduled and the battle, she said, is not over yet. “The first battle is getting the diagnosis and being scared,” she said. “The next is getting thorough treatment — dealing with physical symptoms. Now, it is moving on with your life and being thankful for every day.”
Advice for others McDowell said that women and men all over need to know that cancer can happen to anyone at anytime. It’s important, she said, to know your body and share concerns with your doctor. And if that doctor doesn’t take you seriously, find another doctor. “There have been far too many women whose doctors have told them, ‘You’re too young, come back in a year if you are still worried,’ and by the time they are diagnosed, their cancer has spread and the diagnosis is far less favorable.” Carmann said that her diagnosis has taught her to grab hold of all the positives in her life.

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Learning about all of the moving parts in a new workplace can be daunting, but for people like Sam Huenergardt, the challenge is part of the fun. The new chief executive officer at Parker Adventist Hospital describes his first few weeks on the job as “phenomenal,” and it’s easy to see why. Huenergardt inherits the reins of a respected institution that has grown by leaps and bounds, incorporating the latest medical technology along the way. The hospital is nearing a higher-level trauma designation and is at the tail end of an expansion project that will add new operating rooms, more space to the emergency department and a 24-bed neuro joint spine unit. But while state-of-the-art equipment is useful, Huenergardt knows it’s the devoted
professionals who work in the building that make all the difference. Parker Adventist is teeming with people who are “ready to take the next step” in a bid for constant improvement, he said. At 39, Huenergardt is decidedly young for a hospital CEO, but that doesn’t mean he lacks the experience necessary to oversee such an Huenergardt elaborate operation. He has gained a thorough understanding of team dynamics, workplace efficiency and, above all, how to effectively manage by working in hospitals big and small throughout the country. He most recently was CEO of Central Texas Medical Center in San Marcos, Texas. When asked what makes a good CEO, Huenergardt says it’s often about cultivating an environment that enables employees to
properly care for patients, as well as “taking a long view on things.” “Three to five years from now, we know what the hospital is going to look like and that’s so important,” he said. “You can do a better job of managing people if you’re not so reactive.” Some solid groundwork was laid by former Parker Adventist CEO Morre Dean, whose mother once worked alongside Huenergardt’s grandmother at Porter Adventist Hospital. Huenergardt brings continuity with him, as he has long been in the Adventist hospital system “working under the same mission statement.” Huenergardt, who grew up in Kimball, Nebraska, said he has been welcomed with open arms by the people of Parker, including Town Administrator Randy Young, who introduced him to business professionals on Mainstreet and the “people who put down roots here.”
Aside from learning about the inner workings of Parker Adventist, Huenergardt is training for a half-marathon and loves to golf, although he says his game has suffered since having children, who are now ages 7 and 9. It’s the local family-friendly atmosphere, in part, that made the move to Parker so easy. “That’s why I like Colorado: the mountains, all of the parks, the rec centers, the festivals, spending time with family and exercising,” he said. When Huenergardt is on the clock, however, it’s all about business and maintaining the hospital’s momentum and positive direction. The idea is to treat the Parker community like family, he says. “I want to preserve that special culture and expand on those things,” Huenergardt said.

Kennel named for fallen Marine dog-handler David Sonka honored at Camp Lejeune
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two years after making the ultimate sacrifice, Cpl. David Sonka’s legacy endures. The latest example is the renaming of the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Command dog kennel at Camp Lejeune, the North Carolina base where Sonka trained. On Sept. 7, Sonka’s widow and family members attended a ceremony at the base to unveil the Corporal David M. Sonka Multi-Purpose Canine Facility. Sonka, 23, was on his second deployment in Afghanistan when he, his canine, Flex, and Staff Sgt. Eric Christian were killed in an insider attack on May 4, 2013, while conducting combat operations in Farah Province. Sonka was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart. In a statement to the Parker Chronicle, Sonka’s mother, Donna Francis, said she is and will continue to be “devastated and heartbroken” over her son’s death. “The renaming of the MARSOC Kennels in Camp Lejeune, N.C., is truly an honor and speaks highly of Dave’s hard work and dedication as a Marine K-9 handler,” Francis said. “However, I wish none of this had to exist. As proud as I am of all his accomplishments, I would gladly give

Sonka’s name comes up often in the community where he grew up. Before its Sept. 16 game against Chaparral High School, Rock Canyon High School’s softball team sent out a tweet that read: “Come support us as we honor Cpl. David Sonka, grad from Chap.”
Sonka attended Chaparral, where former classmates held a candlelight remembrance ceremony after his death. There are also multiple online tributes to Sonka. A Facebook page called “David Michael Sonka — Always Remember” has nearly 500 followers and still posts information on a regular basis, including a Sept. 11 post that said “David was 11 when the towers fell. He saved and donated $200 to help the victims.” Sonka joined the Marine Corps in August 2008. After being assigned to the Marine Special Operations Support Group at Camp Lejeune, he completed a special ops training course and multi-purpose canine courses. He was then attached to 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion as a multi-purpose canine handler. Master Gunnery Sgt. John Alen, who was serving as program manager at MarSOC when Sonka worked there, said the memorial recognizes his and Flex’s sacrifice and service. “I have no doubt it was his love for this country that led David to enlist in the United States Marine Corps,” Alen said. In May, there was an outpouring of sympathy for Falco, a military working dog that Sonka handled for three years. Sonka was deployed with Falco to Afghanistan in 2011. Sonka’s widow, Torey, took in Falco after he retired in March, but the patrol explosive detector dog died two months later of gastric torsion. Several supporters on the military working dogs Facebook page said they take comfort in knowing that Sonka and Falco are now reunited.

level, it also requires trains to sound horns at every at-grade crossing — a rule not enforced before — to promote public safety. “When we measured it here, it was 112 when the train went by,” Williams said. “The - train to so many people is the West — it’s history. But it’s not charming to us.” Which is why Williams and other residents 1 - in the Craig and Gould neighborhood recently asked Castle Rock Town Council to recon- sider a quiet zone, which would silence the - train as it passes through the neighborhood. The project, which residents have been purl suing for about a decade, would cost $750,000 e and take years to establish. It’s a project close o to the hearts of residents in historic downn town, but one they feel is being neglected and toyed with by the town council. o - Noise and sleeplessness The train tracks run west of Castle Rock e along U.S. Highway 85 through downtown along Front Street and then south along Highway 85 out of town. They were built before e Castle Rock was established in 1874. For downtown buildings like the fire staf tion, which has extra insulation and doubleg pane windows, the noise is not an issue. . But for residents who live in homes on the - historic register, which strictly governs any changes to building structure, the train noise is almost impossible to ignore. “I feel like we are second-class citizens . here,” Beverly Williams said. “Every time you hear any advertising promotion for people to move to Castle Rock, it’s because of the o historic downtown — but we are the historic downtown. When there is something as significant as the train noise, to me it seems so childish that we have this bias in the town council that we can’t get this approved.” Resident Kimberly Decker, a molecular biologist, told council at the Sept. 15 meeting how she can’t sleep through the night because of the sharp noises the train makes as it rolls through town. She and her husband have now temporarily rented a house out of earshot of the train for much-needed rest. Decker cited a 2013 study by the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, which concluded freight trains provoke heart rate accelerations during sleep and that, in the long term, this may affect cardiovascular functioning of people living close to railways. Specifically, the study’s results found train exposure led to significant change of heart rate within one minute of exposure. “The high-vibration condition provoked an average increase of at least three beats-per-minuteper-train in 79 percent of the participants,” the study’s summary said. Seven other residents also told personal tales of woe caused by the train, including

stories of guests leaving and and renting hotels. But residents fear none of their pain was heard. “I almost started laughing out loud as different speakers poured their hearts out,” said Craig and Gould resident Nikki Richards. “I know that their words were being heard by no one. The mayor already knows that he is not going to approve this. He doesn’t care. He’s got his own agenda and the town council, except Chip Wilson, is going to vote like puppets.” Opposing forces Councilman Chip Wilson purposefully did not attend the Sept. 15 meeting, he said, to ensure the focus would be on the quiet zone issue and not on him. “It was an attempt to have the comments from the citizens heard a little louder,” said Wilson, who campaigned on the need for a quiet zone when he was elected in 2008. “This was an issue back then and five years before that. I’ve been fought for the better part of a decade to get this done.” The possibility of implementing a quiet zone was raised in 2008 and 2009, but was deferred because of the recession. The proposed 2014 budget included an $800,000 line item for a quiet zone, but in November 2013 town council voted 6-1 — with Wilson the lone vote — to remove the item from the 2014 budget and include it in the 2015 balanced financial plan. “Technically, there was a place holder,” Wilson said. “It’s not physically in the budget anymore and that’s due to the mayor’s efforts to get it removed.” Wilson is referring to council’s 2013 vote. Mayor Paul Donahue denied he and the council have blocked the quiet zone for political reasons. “He’s pretty passionate about it,” Donahue said about Wilson’s push for the quiet zone. “Like anything else on council, we all have priorities, we all have projects that we’d like to see get done. The idea is to reason with your fellow colleagues that this is a good project to look at. I have other priorities and what’s important to downtown — and economic development — is important to me.” But Wilson contends that with $15 million in unallocated general reserves for this year, the town should be looking at the quiet zone. “Now that we’ve turned course on the budget, we’ve got lots of money to do extra things with,” Wilson said. At the Sept. 15 meeting, Donahue told residents: “When we look at the money available and the projects, council has been of a mind to look at other priorities.” He also added the town could consider the quiet zone project again in 2016.
A parallel between the two projects is being drawn by Wilson, and Craig and Gould residents, because of the similar cost and argument that neither project benefits everyone in town. Donahue said in the Sept. 15 meeting the town should consider whether or not the entire population — if the issue were to go to a vote — would approve a quiet zone. But Richards argues there was no public vote on the Wolfensberger Bridge and there shouldn’t be one for the quiet zone. “I don’t think that the bridge would have been voted on by the residents and passed,” Wilson said. The bridge was a capital improvements project funded by Parks and Recreation Trails Fund. The quiet zone, if implemented, would be funded out of the general reserve. “It’s hard for council to justify having the taxpayers of Castle Rock pay the amount necessary to implement a quiet zone,” Donahue said.
Comparing projects One project Donahue and the council pursued was the $702,750 pedestrian bridge at Wolfensberger Road.
Business affected, too Residents are not the only ones affected by the train noise. Downtown businesses also take a hit, Wilson and Williams said. “At Siena Grill, it’s so nice on the patio,” Williams said. “But in the midst of a serious discussion or business meeting, patrons are interrupted and then they decide it’s not a good place to come.” Family movies at Festival Park also are interrupted on occasion because of the train noise. “How can this be good for Castle Rock when we’re trying to attract patrons?” Wilson said. “No one wants to listen to the train.” But the mayor argues the quiet zone does not affect the economy. “My business is only a block away from the train,” said Donahue, a financial adviser at Edward Jones Investments. “I hear the train noise every day. For people to think that I don’t get it is wrong. You just get used to it.” Wilson said he intends to get the quiet zone on the agenda again before the end of the year. “I don’t want to wait another five, six, 12 years for this,” he said. “We have the money and the county can partner with us to offset the cost.” Douglas County recently partnered with Castle Pines Village and Sedalia to implement a quiet zone on the west end of Castle Rock. The project started in November 2009 and was completed last November. The county paid for half of the expenses. The plea from residents in the historic downtown is that the town act as a community. “Communities operate to pull resources for common good,” Williams said. “This is the heart of Castle Rock. Many people are drawn here. Many people are repulsed by the train noise. We see that our community is not being served.”
Oktoberfest will span the majority of downtown, creating a T-shape on Wilcox Street from Third Street to Fifth Street and on Fourth Street from Jerry Street to Perry Street. “It’s a much bigger venue,” Tilson said. “It’s really kinda cool, right on the main street. It’s really gonna be a special event.” And although beer is the forefront of any
Oktoberfest, with the traditional stein hoist competition, there will also be family-friendly activities including face painting, bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, keg bowling, and a human foosball field, which is an inflatable mini soccer field that requires participants to hold onto a rope and act as a human foosball team.

Family hopes verdict puts focus on earlier death Convicted killer lost two wives in similar circumstances
By Sadie Gurman Associated Press Relatives of a woman whose husband was convicted of pushing her to her death off a cliff in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park hope the guilty verdict also brings justice for the man’s first wife, whom prosecutors say he killed in what also appeared to be a freak accident nearly 20 years earlier. It took a federal jury about 10 hours to find Harold Henthorn, 59, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his second wife, Toni Henthorn, a successful ophthalmologist from Jackson, Mississippi. She died after plummeting about 130 feet off a cliff in a remote, rocky area where the couple had been hiking on Sept. 29, 2012, their 12th wedding anniversary. But much of the two-week trial focused on the death of Henthorn’s first wife, Sandra Lynn Henthorn, who was
crushed when a car slipped off a jack while they were changing a flat tire in 1995 — several months after their 12th wedding anniversary. Henthorn, of Highlands Ranch, has not been charged in that case, which was initially closed after just a week. But police reopened the investigation after his second wife’s death. Prosecutors said the cases were eerily similar. Both happened in secluded areas where Henthorn was the only witness. And prosecutors argued that in each case, Henthorn sought to benefit from his wife’s life insurance policies. They showed jurors evidence suggesting that Henthorn intentionally pushed the car onto his wife and shooed away passersby who tried to help. Sandra Lynn Henthorn’s relatives said they hope the trial renews investigators’ attention to her case. A spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriff Office, which is handling the investigation, did not immediately return calls inquiring about the status of the probe. Defense attorney Craig Truman argued both deaths were tragic accidents and painted Henthorn as a mournful

ally performed CPR on his wife, despite what he told dispatchers. And park rangers said Henthorn could not explain why he had a park map with an “X” drawn at the spot where his wife fell. Two jurors told The Associated Press that though some of the evidence was circumstantial, they were overwhelmingly convinced of Henthorn’s guilt. Only one juror needed more time to analyze the evidence before making her decision, they said. Juror Kim Thiessen said it was the scope of the evidence, rather than just one piece, that secured her guilty verdict. “Some of it was circumstantial, but we were instructed to use our common sense,” she said. After the jury was dismissed, applause erupted in the courtroom. A female juror stepped out of the box and hugged Toni Henthorn’s mother, Yvonne Bertolet. “That was very meaningful,” Bertolet said. “Believe it or not, I forgive him (Henthorn) for doing it. I feel for him and his family.”

husband. Toni Henthorn’s brother, Barry Bertolet, said he was relieved because the Sept. 21 verdict means Henthorn can’t harm again. Henthorn, who shook his head in disbelief when the jury was polled, faces a mandatory life prison term when he is sentenced on Dec. 8. “We are overjoyed with the verdict and relieved this won’t happen to any other lady,” Bertolet said. “We don’t have to worry anymore.” Toni Henthorn’s family will move to adopt the couple’s 10-year-old daughter, relatives said. Prosecutors argued Henthorn sought to collect on Toni Henthorn’s $4.7 million in life insurance policies, which she didn’t know existed. They seized on Henthorn’s inconsistent accounts of the fatal fall and said the evidence did not match his shifting stories. Henthorn scouted the remote area of the popular park 75 miles north of Denver nine times before bringing his wife with him. A coroner said he could not determine whether Toni Henthorn fell or was pushed, but said he found no evidence that Harold Henthorn actu-

Senior Reach supports at-risk generation Mental-health issues, suicide surge as baby boomers retire
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Maria Pearson’s job is to help seniors, but her even more important job is to find the ones who need help — and that’s everyone’s job. “We are one point of entry for our seniors, for those folks who are most vulnerable, who have never asked for help before,” she said. “We ask the community to be our eyes and ears.” Maybe you have an elderly neighbor who seems to be drinking too much, or an aunt who suddenly lost a bunch of weight, or a father who seems to be repeating things a lot. These can all be signs of mental-health distress, and that’s what Pearson, executive director of Senior Reach, is out to combat. The program operates locally under the auspices of the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. But it’s been vetted by the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices, a database of mental-health and substance-abuse interven-
tions. At the heart of Senior Reach is a training program to teach people to recognize signs that a senior might need such an intervention. Pearson says she’ll visit any church, neighborhood group, school, book club or service organization to give a presentation that could help community members save lives. “We will go anywhere to talk about the program,” she told those gathered at HealthSouth in Littleton on Sept. 22 to help formally kick off the program. Once clients are identified, Senior Reach can help with a long list of reliable resources for food, transportation, medical care and mental-health treatment — things that can become more complicated after retirement, said Pearson. “Almost one in four people have at least one chronic condition,” says Luci Draayer, a licensed clinical social worker with the Colorado Neurological Institute. “Take the regular `boomer dynamics’ … and then put a disease on top of it. Life can get kind of crazy.” Many of the baby boomers who will retire over the next 18 years could suddenly find themselves without a support network, without immediate family nearby
and without the reliance on social media to maintain friendships that younger people have. This can lead to depression, substance abuse and even suicide, said Joan DiMaria, executive director of A/DMHN. According to a 2012 Institute of Medicine report, between 5 million and 8 million American seniors have one or more mental-health or substance-abuse disorders, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in 2013 that suicide attempts among baby boomers are surging. “The burden of mental illness and substance abuse disorders in older adults in the United States borders on a crisis,” reads the IOM report. DiMaria stresses that mental illness is treatable. “Depression is not a normal part of aging,” she said. “That’s a myth that many people believe, and it’s absolutely untrue.” Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec knows all too well what can happen if it’s left untreated. He shared a story about his grandfather, who outlived two wives and found himself living alone on a farm at the age of 96.

THINGS TO WATCH FOR Senior Reach urges people to watch for the following signs that could indicate that an older adult is need of help: Mental state — Confusion, disorientation, memory loss, repetitiveness Physical — Difficulty in seeing, hearing or walking, alcohol or substance abuse Emotional — Recent loss of spouse, loss of appetite, signs of depression, anxiety or withdrawing Social — Isolated, possible victim of abuse, neglect or exploitation Appearance — Unkempt, dirty clothes, weight loss Environment — Home needs repair, trash or debris in yard, neglected pets Economic — Confused about money matters, inability to afford necessities

Being ready for best is way to be blessed Whenever I am traveling for business or for pleasure, and as I board my flight and am greeted by the flight attendant with “Welcome aboard, and how are you doing?” my response is always the same, “I am ready for the best flight ever!” That usually generates a smile from the flight attendant and any of the crew who may be paying attention. And sometimes I can even see a sense of pride as their body language and facial expressions shift. I like to do the same thing when I am greeted at a restaurant. When a host, hostess, or server asks me how I am doing, I respond in a similar way, “I am ready for the best meal ever!” Again, this usually has the staff smiling and feeling proud. And in both situations I will share with you that the customer service I experience is tremendous. This happens because an expectation was established and the people responsible had something to aspire to. Now what if we started each day with this same philosophy? I mean what if when we got out of bed and greeted ourselves in the mirror each morning, we actually asked ourselves how we are doing, and then responded, “I am ready for the best day ever!” Believe it or not, there are some people who wake up expecting the very worst day possible. They believe that only bad things will happen
or situations will be filled with gloom and doom. You see these folks in the coffee shop, in the car next to you as you are stuck in traffic, dropping off their kids at school, and anywhere your morning travels might take you. No smiles, kind of terse and grouchy, shoulders Michael Norton slumped, and oozing of negativity. WINNING Here is what I found WORDS to be the difference: The people who have the very best days ever are the people who expect to have the very best day ever. They plan and prepare for happiness and success. And they go about planning and preparing and setting expectations in different ways. Some people take the time the evening before to write out the events and tasks for the next day so that when they wake up they are ready to roll. Others will wake up earlier than anyone else in the home so they can have a cup of coffee and some quiet time. Others will read, meditate, pray, work out, or participate
in a devotional or Bible study before beginning their day. There are many ways an individual can choose to start their day, and the people who experience the greatest joy and success are those who set their expectations around positive outcomes. The second thing I see people do after setting positive expectations and being grounded in their commitments to staying positive is that they think through any possible barriers to success. They consider situations or people who may intentionally or unintentionally disrupt their journey to having the best day ever. And once they know who or what can possibly go wrong, they have a strategy for dealing with those disruptions so that they remain in control and their “best day ever” goes on as planned. How about you? How do you like to prepare for, plan, and start your day to help make it the best day ever? I would love to hear all of your thoughts at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we expect to have the best day ever, it really will be a better than good week.

Silent letters give up right to fair hearing There are few things that I appreciate more than complete silence. Except when it comes to the alphabet. I just read this, and I was furious: “J.K. Rowling says you’re mispronouncing Voldemort.” Now she tells us. The “t” is silent. I don’t know anything about her books or the movies. About all I know is that I thought Emma Watson was a rather clever girl whenever she appeared on Letterman. Silent letters should be against the law. I have gone from a position of complaint to something more aggressive. If they are silent, do away with them or else. How did you pronounce “Degas” the first time you saw it? I am sure it wasn’t “Day-ga.” The French are to blame for a lot of this. You pronounce all of the letters in his first name. Edgar. His last name gets Frenched up. How do you pronounce “Grand Marnier”? How do you pronounce “Dom Perignon”? Have you ever been to Sault St. Marie? Explaining silent letters is a deeper study than I realized. And none of it would be needed if silent letters were forbidden, as they should be. Of course, it would put a few people out of business, like functional grammar special-
ists. Have you ever heard of “exocentric diographs,” or “endocentric diographs”? Me either. There is an exocentric diograph in “enough.” There is an Craig Marshall Smith endocentric diograph in “guard.” QUIET is there an DESPERATION “h”Why in “Theresa”? Why are there two “e’s” in “employee”? Why are there two “l’s” in “misspell”? Look who’s talking. There are two “l’s” in my middle name and one of them is silent. I have never known which one. Take your pick. If it didn’t have two “l’s” I would be a marshal, a municipal law officer. No thanks. One of the reasons why I am not interested in fashion is because of Yves St. Laurent. That name is really messed up. It’s about as far away from phonetic spelling as it gets. Smith continues on Page 11

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vote David Ray for school board Sometimes our community is offered a tremendous gift. It is up to us to decide if we will accept it. Now is one of those times. David Ray has decided to rededicate his time and energy to our schools by running for school board. What a gift. I have worked with David for 15 years. I have taught in this amazing school district for 22 years. As a parent, I have also sent to DCSD schools three daughters who spanned from significant special needs to advanced placement classes. I have never gotten involved in school board politics before. I have taken the role of an observer, understanding that many approaches to a child’s education have validity and gifts. This is not an “anti” letter. This is a letter of hope, and of the possibility that our school district can reach a potential beyond where it is now. It is a letter that calls out for restoration of an amazing school district. As a “DCSD lifer,” I am looking to a district that is built on trust, and can revive the joy in teaching and in so doing, can revive the fulfillment of each child’s potential. David Ray will be the voice for each child and each family, regardless of political views. While working with David Ray, I watched him carefully listen to families, teachers and community. In addition to listening, hearing, and carefully considering what he’s learning from diverse perspectives, Mr. Ray draws on his own tremendous depth of knowledge. I love Douglas County School District. It has been my home, my children’s education, my life calling, and my cornerstone for “what is right” for 22 years. I believe embracing David Ray’s candidacy for our school board will be one of the wisest actions this school district’s constituents have ever taken. Jean Kirshner Parker

Consider going forward with reverse mortgage Have you heard negatives about reverse mortgages? Various surveys show that some 85 percent of general respondents have a negative impression of reverses — but a whopping 90 percent of homeowners who actually have reverse mortgages are positive about them. The difference between the two groups is in their education about the loans and how they work. Federal regulations (yes, reverse mortgages are federally backed programs) require homeowners to complete a brief counseling session carried out by a government trained counselor before taking one on — even before submitting an application. A few years ago I had a couple call me for information about reverses. But before we could meet, they called to cancel. When I asked why, they explained that their neighbors had told them a reverse mortgage was a horrible idea. A few weeks later they called again and asked how quickly I could see them. A bit confused, I asked them what had changed their attitude. They responded, “Oh, we just visited with friends who

Education today is boxed by too many rules, too many tests, she says. It has lost some of its vitality, some of its foundational ingredients. Take, for instance, something as basic as recess: Up to 40 percent of U.S. school districts have reduced or eliminated recess to free up more time for academics, and one in four elementary schools no longer provides recess to all grades, according to a 2010 Gallup survey. To Judy, that’s a big deal. “Play is the engine that drives learning,” she says. And children “need to experience play through their learning. I’ve always considered that super important.” At Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning, where she’s taught for 20 years, Judy found a place that let her work outside the box. The school, tucked in a south Denver neighborhood, is supported by five school districts — Aurora, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County and Littleton — and the nonprofit Public Education and Business Coalition. It incorporates the principles of Outward Bound into its curriculum, which is built around multidisciplinary learning expeditions that take students at least once a week on in-depth field trips — or expeditions — and culminate in a project that pulls all the learning together. “I can still be creative and inspire,” Judy says. “I can still plan content that’s not test-driven...that’s instilling curiosity.” And she can still have fun. “Teachers here have fun — they’re

Grammarians have determined that 11 letters are capable of the silent treatment. They are “b,” “c,” “d,” “g,” “h,” “k,” “n,” “p,” “t,” “u,” and “w.” And if they all appear in the same word, the entire word is silent, so don’t even bother. Why is there an “e” at the end of Gross Pointe? So they can charge extra for mansions. We’re nearing Christmas. Which means we are nearing the mispronunciation of “poinsettia.” Kids, the final “i” is not silent. And the first “r” in “February” isn’t silent. The second “o” in sophomore isn’t either. We are a bunch of lazy sods when it comes to words. We abbreviate, truncate and emasculate the English language. Well, you do. I don’t.
have a reverse mortgage.” We met, they did a reverse, and are now in the 90 percent group. Why so much negativity? The very first reverse mortgage dates from 1961, before the programs were Steve Watson the government-insured products we LIVING AND have today. For 28 AGING WELL years reverses were largely unregulated, allowing some predatory products to make their way to market, some of which cost homeowners and their estates. In 1989 Congress directed the Department of Housing and Urban Development to create the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) — to be insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) — to offer the benefits of reverse lending, while protecting senior homeowners. There are other types of reverse mortgages; however,
HECMs are the vehicle in common use now — the type addressed by this article. At least one of the homeowners must have reached the age of 62 to qualify for a HECM. Funds available are based on age, home appraisal value, and the particular loan selected. HECMs are available in fixed-rate as well as adjustablerate vehicles. There are differences in the amount of money made available by the two types. When a homeowner receives a HECM, any existing mortgage or lien on the home must be paid off with the proceeds of the new loan. As a homeowner, that factor alone can be a significant benefit, as no mortgage payment will be required for the rest of your life in the home! (You only pay your taxes and insurance.) On adjustable rate loans, any remaining funds can be used immediately — converted to a monthly payment, or allowed to accumulate for when there’s a need for the money. Note that funds remaining are in a line of credit that grows over the life of the loan. That’s a feature unique to reverse mortgages. Available funds on adjust-
able-rate loans grow over time, similar to a savings account. Better yet, the growth takes place regardless of your home’s future value. If your home decreases in value (as many did during the 2008-2012 recession), a growing line of credit is a nice thing to have. That feature leads many financial planners to suggest reverses even to clients who’ve paid off their homes. Are reverse mortgages for everyone? A good prospect should have a personal commitment to the home, and want to reside there indefinitely. If you plan on moving within a few years, a reverse isn’t for you. However, for those who can see value in refinancing a home they like — or even using a reverse to purchase a new primary residence (Yes, that’s possible) — a reverse mortgage specialist can arrange an initial informational meeting that will explain how that would work in your situation.
always smiling. It’s stressful, but there is a great sense of community here.” •••• Curiosity flies around Judy’s room. Questions jump from posters and placards on the walls that focus on this fall’s theme of botany. “Where does food that we eat come from?” “Why does the world need plants?” “What do plants need to grow?” Blue parakeets chirp in a cage in one corner. Jars with sunflowers rest on low tables. There are only a few chairs, but many rugs. Books overflow in yellow and green bins along the wall. Small studentpotted containers with plants line the windowsill. Several Chinese lanterns hang from the ceiling casting a soft light. Colored bubble letters spell out values the class embraces: Discipline. Integrity. Compassion. Courage. Responsibility. “We Are a Crew, Not Passengers,” reads another placard. Pictures of each student dot a bulletin board, accompanied by adjectives that describe them. An organized, kaleidoscopic quilt of color, objects and information, the room imparts warmth, inquiry and collaboration — a comfortable place to learn. The 25 students scatter among the tables and sort through the poetry books. They begin to read, searching for one that speaks to them. Judy circulates, passing out sticky notes, crouching down to ask questions, spur dialogue. Burch Meriwether-Archer, her teaching assistant, helps. Burch’s two sons had Judy at one time or another. “Everything she does is built into giving kiddos good support so they know where the boundaries are,” Burch says. “She has high expectations for good behavior. She strikes the perfect balance
between letting kids be developmentally appropriate and stretching them to let them grow.” Her students agree. “She gives us challenges,” Landon, 7, says. “And I like challenges because challenges actually make you get smarter, and I like getting smarter.” “She makes us set our goals, which makes us try harder and do better,” Tim, 8, says. Back at the rug, the children take turns sharing their poems, pinpointing exactly what they liked about them. “Put your poetry books on the rug,” Judy says. “Your exit ticket to a break outside is . . . to prove to me you can now explain what poetry means to you.” The answers come quickly. “It can be long.” “It can be short.” “Poems can be sad, funny or serious.” “Poems can give you ideas.”
“It’s beautiful.” “It can teach you.” Soon, the classroom is quiet. The children are outside. Playing. Learning. Judy is preparing for the next lesson. She’s not thinking much about the end of this last year yet because good teaching requires staying present. Her primary goal is to enjoy the children. “I’m going to just make sure the kids are happy,” she says. “And I’m enjoying myself. And they’re definitely learning.” And that is a beautiful definition of teaching.
Anyone who says “EVOO” deserves to be slapped. That’s how Melvin “Slappy” White got his nickname. White was a comedian, but he was also a scholar, and he slapped anyone who abused language. He once loosened a man’s tooth when he said “Frisco,” referring to San Francisco. You just don’t do that. What’s the point of naming a city Las Vegas if you are going to call it “Vegas”? Vegas were subcompacts made by Chevrolet. They were beset with problems. I haven’t seen one on the road in 30 years. Let’s get back to Degas. No one knows if Degas ever spent any time in a Vega in Las Vegas. Now I want you to look at the word “Wednesday” and tell me what it is doing in this column.

They have lived in Douglas County for the past 28 years, but recently moved to North Carolina because of Ray’s illness. COX
Ray will be remembered for his faith in Christ, love for family, personal integrity, his desire to love his wife as Christ loved the church, and his legacy of helping to build his children into leaders. Ray was “the rock” of his family; a man of quiet strength, sense of humor, and a calming spirit. His children treasure memories of birthday breakfasts with their dad, fishing and camping trips, knowing he would be there at their school and athletic events, and that he was always ready for a game of chess or scrabble with them. Ray was preceded in death by his parents. He is

reported that they and their loved ones have become more isolated from the community as a result of the disease. Furthermore, 85 percent reported that they feel a reduced quality of life due to isolation. “For many caregivers, the unpredictable nature of the disease can make going out in public with their loved one intimidating,” said Carol Parker, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Castle Rock, Parker, Highlands Ranch and the mountain communities from Evergreen to Frisco. “Our research shows that family caregivers might be reluctant to frequent public places because of

the behaviors that could be associated with the disease.” According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, the number of people with dementia worldwide is expected to grow to a staggering 75.6 million by 2030 and 135.5 million in 2050. “Given the statistics, most businesses that deal with the public will be serving people with Alzheimer’s and their families,” said Parker. “It’s critical that local businesses start working now to build Alzheimer’s-friendly communities to better serve their customers with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.” To complete the training, employees are asked to work through an interactive, online module available at AlzheimersFriendlyBusiness.com. Once the training is successfully completed, businesses will receive a window cling with the Alzheimer’s Friendly Business designation. The designation will be valid for two years.

“He started falling down, and rather than be institutionalized, he decided to take his own life,” said Cernanec. “It was an easy solution for my grandfather, but it was a very tough time for my family.” It’s a story that Valerie Robson has heard many times. She’s the adult services program manager for Douglas County, where, she says, the senior population is growing at a phenomenal rate. “We’ve heard over and over again, but very quietly, `I think I need help, and I don’t know who to ask, and I don’t know where to turn,’” said Robson. “They don’t want you to know they’re depressed. They’re afraid that if they tell you, that they might end up in an institution.” Centennial resident Betsy Mathies is one who found a way to reach out. When she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2012, she first burst into tears. “And then I remember I said, `Oh shoot!’ (The doctor) asked me if I wanted to say something stronger than that, and I said, `I’d like to start, but I might not be able to stop — it would be F-bomb city.’ Find some humor in it. Sometimes, you’ve got to laugh at it.”

Attracted by jobs, many remain for quality of life By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A cricket club in Littleton. Markets that sell ethnic Asian Indian foods in Lone Tree. A new Hindu temple in Centennial. The growing population of Asian Indians is changing the ethnic makeup of communities in the south metro area. “I used to kind of be the odd man out in the store,” said Murali Anakavur, who moved to Lakewood in 1995 and now lives in Littleton. “Not anymore.” Although not staggering, the statistics don’t lie: There were 2,942 people of Indian descent in Arapahoe County in 2008; that number climbed to 6,701 last year, according to the State Demography Office. The population of Asian Indians, as they are categorized in the U.S. Census, more than doubled in Douglas County from 2012 to 2014. Census data from 2008-14 shows a “statistically significant” population increase in south metro Denver and across the state, said Rob Kemp, estimates demographer for Colorado’s demography office. However, year-over-year figures are nominal and Asian Indians in Arapahoe and Douglas counties account for only about 1 to 2 percent of the total population. But the change has been especially noticeable, at least in part, because of the high percentage of Caucasians in the area. “In a place so dominated by one racial group, like especially in Douglas County, it might theoretically look like more because there are not a lot of racial groups,” Kemp said. Welcome to America Another indicator of the burgeoning community of Indian immigrants arrived in the form of a new Hindu temple on Potomac Street in Centennial. The Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of the Rockies, which opened with a lavish, four-day ceremony in June, was built “to meet the needs of growing Indian population,” its website says. More than 1,500 families regularly attend services at the temple. Several Indian grocery markets have opened up shop, with one each in Centennial and Greenwood Village, and two in Lone Tree. One of the stores in Lone Tree is the popular Mythri Indian Groceries on Forsstrom Drive. Business was a little slow in the first two months after the shop opened in January at the end of a strip mall, but picked up considerably once word got around. Now, there are sometimes lines on Thursdays

Owned by four partners, including Satya Chigurupati and Suresh Bejawada, the grocery store carries products familiar to Indians. Bejawada, a 25-year-old who moved to the United States in 2009 to pursue a master’s degree in electrical engineering, says the decision to open in Lone Tree was based on its proximity to employers and the light rail system. Denver’s community of “desis,” a common term for people from South Asia who live abroad, boasts multiple associations and clubs. One of the more popular activities is cricket, and the best team in Colorado happens to be based in Littleton. The Littleton Cricket Club — founded in 1994 — now has three teams due to demand. It plays matches on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer in Cornerstone Park on the Littleton/Englewood border and Challenger Park in Parker. On a recent sunny afternoon at Cornerstone Park, one of the few available cricket grounds in the Denver area, club president Ramesh Appat watched the final match before playoffs. He points out the Littleton Lions are going for their fourth consecutive state championship. Cricket, an Indian pasttime similar to America’s connection with baseball, is a perfect way to unwind while sharing a cultural experience and bonding. Many players have families and 9-to-5 jobs, the latter of which precipitated the transcontinental relocation for the majority, said Appat, who himself came to the Unites States in 1998 for a job opportunity. “We have IT folks; we have doctors,” the 44-year-old Parker resident said. “It’s a mixture, but primarily information technology,

Vegetables are the hottest-selling item. which has been the main attraction for immigrants coming from southeast Asia.” Many in the south metro area have found employment with firms based in the Denver Technological Center, Inverness Business Park and Meridian International Business Center. Housing data from Douglas County Demographic Program analyst Nancy Gedeon shows a high percentage of Asian Indians live in the far northern tier of the county, in close proximity to employment centers. The decision to stay Lucrative, one- or two-year contracts with tech firms are, in some cases, what draw Asian Indians to Colorado. But the lifestyle and open space are a convincing
reason to stay. Anakavur, the Littleton resident, moved to the U.S. at the age of 30, and although it was an adjustment for his wife, Anakavur fell in love with Colorado almost immediately. There was an abundance of attractive attributes: a beautiful landscape, nearperfect weather, community safety, a manageable commute, “quietness” and the people. Plenty of job options and outdoor activities, such as tennis and hiking, drew in Anakavur, who also works in the tech industry. “I’ve never looked back since and came to love it here,” the 52-year-old said. “It’s my home.”

A new decade — with a little help from my friends I turned 30 a couple weeks ago. A big one. Or so everyone tells me. Personally, I’ve always found the significance of certain birthdays a reflection of social constructs placed on us by society. So hitting 30 or 50 — or whatever — is only going to hit as hard as you let it. Or maybe I’m just getting grumpy in my old age. In either case, I spent the bulk of my birthday in a car driving through California’s ancient Redwood forests with my parents and brother — and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to make turning 30 seem like a minor achievement. I was so pleased to share it with my family. But I couldn’t help missing my friends on the occasion, especially when LCD Soundsystem’s “All My Friends” came up in the mix. For those unfamiliar with the song, it’s the best of the 21st century thus far, especially for people of my generation coming into adulthood. The song tracks the attempts of singer/songwriter James Murphy (who was 37 at the time he wrote it) to stay in touch with friends as he drags himself into middle age. It’s chockful of dry and melancholy observations about the effort it takes to keep up with friends as responsibilities of maturity and family take a bigger toll. Structurally, “All My Friends” is a 7 1/2-minute build to a catharsis that never quite comes — if that’s not a metaphor for life, I’m not sure what is. The song starts out with a repeated plunking piano line and expands as each new instrument joins the fray. By the end, everyone’s instruments are louder and bigger - a sonic way of shouting to the void: “Do your worst!” On a musical level alone, the thing is a wonder.

LINER NOTES
When you add the lyrics, the song becomes a classic. The aches and loneliness of aging are chronicled beautifully as Murphy talks about throwing just one more great party for the people he loves. “You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan/And the next five years trying to be with your friends again,” capture the sacrifices we often make along the way, and how difficult it can be to regain what was lost. Murphy also invokes feelings of gratitude for the people who are always there for you, no matter what happens: “And if I made a fool, if I made a
fool, if I made a fool On the road, there’s always this. And if I’m sued into submission, I can still come home to this.” The lyrics that stick with me the most are simple and direct: “I wouldn’t trade one stupid decision/For another five years of life.” In these words, I hear all the nights you never want to end, moments just sitting around, talking or running through the streets, laughing your head off on the way to the next stop. I hear my friends in those words, and how much I miss them, since we don’t see each other as often as we would like. I’m getting sentimental as I get older, but I’m OK with

Trillium is no more Chef Ryan Leinonen, who opened Trillium, an award-winning Scandinavian eatery, in December 2011, recently closed the Ballpark neighborhood restaurant. “It’s time to move on from Trillium and explore new opportunities,” said Leinonen, a Michigan native whose culinary career spans more than two decades of accomplishments, including working at Denver’s Colt & Gray, Root Down, Penny Parker The Kitchen and Q’s (now Spruce) in MILE HIGH Boulder. “I was living my dream, and I LIFE had a ton of fun doing it, plus I won a lot of awesome awards, cooked at the James Beard House and pushed myself — more than I ever thought possible — to achieve success during Trillium’s five-year run,” Leinonen said. ”I’ve worked with some absolutely amazing people — people who helped my dream of opening my own restaurant come to fruition — and they’ve all enriched my life more than they’ll ever know. I hope they learned as much from me as I learned from them.” Leinonen, whose life was recently graced by the arrival of his second daughter, plans to revel in fatherhood. “I’ve been working nonstop for the past several years, so I’m going to take a few months off to stay at home and enjoy some much-needed time with my wonderful wife and daughters,” he said. Still, while he’s happy to relax for a bit, the next chapter, he said, will definitely involve a professional kitchen and perhaps another restaurant that he owns and operates. “The opportunities for me are endless, and the best is yet to come.” For more information, contact Leinonen at ryan@trilliumdenver.com. CU grad wins Emmy University of Colorado-Denver College of Arts & Media alumnus Tim Kimmel won a Emmy Award for “Outstanding Sound Editing” on the HBO series “Game of Thrones.” Kimmel was the supervising sound editor. This was his fourth nomination and first victory. “Tim Kimmel’s success and achievements are a reflection of skills, talents and abilities that have placed him at the forefront of his craft,” AM Dean Laurene Kaptain said. “The students, faculty and staff of the College of Arts & Media at CU Denver are inspired by his successes and proud of his accomplishments. We are very proud of Tim’s Emmy Award and look forward to following his career as he continues his
trajectory as a creative leader in Hollywood’s film and television industry.” Kimmel is a graduate of CAM’s Music Entertainment and Industries Studies program with an emphasis in recording arts. Two iconic eateries close Two decades-old Denver restaurants have left the dining landscape: Las Delicias on 19th Avenue and The Egg Shell in Cherry Creek North. Las Delicias, a 40-year-old fixture at 439 E. 19th Ave. shuttered abruptly last week with a note on the door and its website saying it was “closing for remodeling,” and would reopen next spring. Westword, however, which first reported the closing, speculates that the iconic eatery may remain closed due to the loss of the parking lot across the street. The parking lot is being transformed into a large residential and retail development, and the loss of the lot made parking in the popular Uptown neighborhood “challenging.” Whether the original location reopens, Las Delicias continues to operate four other outposts throughout the metro area. Meanwhile, The Egg Shell, a 30-year presence in Cherry Creek North, shuttered the 235 Fillmore St. spot on Sept. 27. Owner Peggy Bevan told Eater Denver that she has been scouting other locations. Harvest Week returns Harvest Week, the epitome of an independent restaurant collaboration, returns for the 2015 edition Oct. 4-9. Dinners (and a brunch) will take place all week long. Each night a group of five-plus restaurants will come together to create pop-up parties at the GrowHaus, a nonprofit indoor farm at 4751 York St. Every day includes a full bar and lots of food. All the festivities support EatDenver, a consortium of independently owned restaurants, and the Growhaus. For more information, go to www.harvestweek.com.

College magazine grabs top award Progenitor publishes work of talented ACC students By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “First Place with Special Merit” said the award won by Arapahoe Community College’s striking Progenitor Art and Literary Magazine for 2015. The award was from the American Scholastic Press Association’s annual magazine competition. It quoted a judge: “Progenitor is an amazing publication! Not only have you mastered the basic elements of a
good magazine … but you have also published excellent works from your school population. Progenitor is a model for those up and coming and an inspiration for those magazines that haven’t quite aced the necessary skills.” ACC student John Whatley earned an Outstanding Photograph award for his “The Visitor,” which appeared on Page 61. Whatley was selected Student of the Year in December 2014, with a 3.92 GPA, a focus on chemistry and biology courses, and the honor of serving as commencement speaker at rites held that month. He was named a 2015
Coca-Cola New Century Scholar by the honor society Phi Theta Kappa. He plans to continue his education at Colorado School of Mines in fall 2016.

Environmental activist’s novel is set in Maine Latest from Bond is thriller with focus on corruption
Author Mike Bond will soon return to his Littleton home and will be appearing to discuss his latest thriller. Courtesy photo
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike Bond, a Maine native who lives in Roxborough (as well as Maine and Hawaii), has, as a journalist, covered environmental issues worldwide and war and politics in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. He has been, and is, an environmental activist and is very much distressed by the growth of wind farms in Maine, where his family has lived since the 1600s. “Killing Maine,” recently published, is set in his home state. He writes a complicated tale of bribery, corrupt politicians with influence over environmental groups — and the intense focus of Special Forces veteran/internationally known surfer Pono Hawkins, who knows how to operate in dangerous circumstances — and with interesting women. (We first met Pono in “Saving Paradise,” set in Hawaii, where similar issues affect the beauty of a special place, and assassins awaited in the shadows.) This is Bond’s sixth book and earlier ones are set in the Middle East, Guatemala, Africa — each with an underlying concern about nature and the politics that drive leaders to action. The author is described by his publisher as the master of the socially conscious thriller. “Killing Maine,” called an existential thriller, has Hawkins charging into one messy situation after another and ends the story with a funny dilemma that could go a number of directions if there were more pages. Pono heads to Maine to aid his former Special Forces buddy, Bucky Franklin, who is in jail, accused of murdering an environmentalist. Hawkins is greeted with gunfire on his first excursion into the woods and is almost always feeling threatened and edgy. Bucky’s wife, who called for help, is also a former lover — one of many. And Hawkins takes up with Abigail, the murder victim’s widow. Bond describes the beautiful woods and mountains, coated with snow, temperatures well below freezing. It’s invaded by a noisy wind farms that don’t really function well and destroy property values — and residents’ treasured peace and quiet. They have come about through corruption that riddles the state’s political structure.

The book cover of Littleton author Mike Bond’s new Thriller, “Killing Maine.” Courtesy image Winter is almost an additional character as Pono moves through frigid, rough territory, ducking bullets and hiding from threatening villains, as he keeps Bucky’s old green Kawasaki snowmobile operating. It’s obviously very familiar territory for Bond, one he truly treasures. Although in a phone conversation, he also waxed eloquent about the beauty of the Roxborough area where his home is located — and its wildlife and threats to that area.

As Hawkins roams through Maine, he occasionally stops at Stroudwater Graveyard to give the relatives an update — a clever way of keeping the reader in the loop through a convoluted tale. His characters and locations are clearly described, so the reader has an ongoing mental picture (the movie in your head?) and the dialogue reflects Maine colloquialisms. He connects with people at colorful spots like Three Dollar Dewey’s in Portland, where he meets a woman lawyer. There’s a brief sequence in Hawaii as he visits with and philosophizes with his terminally ill father, who is also a unique character. Dad plans to sail off into the sunset. Today’s technology comes online as he asks his island friend, Mitchell, to run down information about Maine police operations and legislators, when local types are stonewalling him. And then, Abigail goes missing to further complicate the picture … Bond’s book is available at the Tattered Cover, and when he returns to the area, he will set up a time to meet readers and talk about his new book, as well as his multifaceted life and interests.

Decreased funding isn’t the The morning’s introduconly trend Garcia addressed. tions began with Bill Shepard He brought up the increase in
tuition, the growing importance of post-secondary schools for the workforce to make a “living wage,” and the gap between seniors in high school to college freshman – many college freshman have to take remedial courses in their first semesters because they’re not prepared for fullcredit work. How can we strengthen our communities? Garcia spoke of the staggering numbers of people that have enrolled in college and completed courses, but never earned a degree. There is an opportunity here. A bigger push for non-traditional campuses and online and evening courses could mean re-enrollment for those previous attendees to
finish their degree. And in alignment with staggering numbers, Andy Carlson, Sr. Policy Analyst for the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO), delivered an informative presentation on trends in state higher education funding for Colorado and the Nation. Final comments for the meeting were from Jeff Wasden, President of Colorado Business Roundtable/ Chair, Public Policy, for the Chamber. The Chamber’s Business Leaders for Responsible Government (BLRG) group meets monthly, and is in alignment with the South Metro Denver Chamber’s key strategic priority for public policy.

SPORTS Trainers keep athletes moving LOCAL
One of the most important team members works from sidelines By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com If it hadn’t been for an athletic trainer, Josh Boatright would most likely be dead. But thanks to Piper Thompson’s knowledge and gut instinct, the Legend High School senior saw a doctor who diagnosed a heart condition corrected by surgery. And today, he’s playing on the defensive line for the Titans’ football team. “I can’t give her enough praise,” Boatright’s mother, LeAnne, said of Thompson. “I love her because she saved my son’s life.” Thompson is an example of how high school athletic trainers have become more knowledgeable and respected. All are certified and nearly 70 percent have master’s degrees. Injury prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation are some duties, but trainers also follow up on concussions, monitor the weather, make sure water is available, help determine whether athletes can return to play and often provide referrals to outside doctors or specialists. “Athletic training is really a lot more involved in education, and the skill set is much higher than people really understand,” said Bridget Younger of Children’s Hospital Colorado Sports Medicine program. Trainers’ roles vary by school district. Douglas County School District hires its own athletic trainers but contracts with Children’s for assistant trainers. Adams

Legend player has life-saving heart surgery Titans’ athletic trainer suspected problem By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Senior Josh Boatright collapsed during a Legend High School preseason workout in July. He recovered, and following a team meeting, approached Titans athletic trainer Piper Thompson because his heart was still beating fast. Thompson suspected something was wrong. She called Boatright’s parents and said their son needed to be referred for treatment. Four days later, Boatright underwent heart surgery after being diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a rare condition caused by an extra path between the heart’s upper and lower chambers that causes the heart to beat rapidly. During the follow-up appointment, LeAnne Boatright said, the cardiologist “looked at my son and said, “You need to thank your athletic trainer because she saved your life. After reviewing all the scans and all the tests we did on you, you had maybe one or two more practices and you would have been dead.’ He said that’s how serious his heart was.” Thompson, a graduate of Douglas County High School, has been the head trainer at Legend since 2008. She has a bachelor’s in sports and exercise science from the University of Northern Colorado. She will be honored for her life-saving actions at the Oct. 20 Douglas County school board meeting. At the summer workout, Thompson knew it was time to suggest Boatright consult an expert.
Smart play formula for good scores State golf tournaments scheduled at three venues By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Smart golf could be the winning formula for individuals and teams competing in the upcoming Colorado state high school boys golf tournaments. The three state tournaments will be held Oct. 5-6 with Class 5A golfers playing at the tree-lined Fort Collins Country Club. Valor Christian will open defense of its Class 4A title at Longmont’s Fox Hill Country, while the 3A state competition is set for Eagle Ranch in Eagle. It will take smart golf of hitting fairways, avoiding shots that are too aggressive and playing well along
and on the greens to be among the leaders. “For us it’s about hitting fairways and hitting greens and eliminating three putts,” said Highlands Ranch coach James Baker, whose team won the Southern regional. “When we play like that we are really good. “They’re growing up. We’re playing smart golf. We’ve been up there (Fort Collins Country Club) a couple times. It’s the kind of course we can play pretty well on. It’s just a good test of golf.” Teams that finished first or second in the four regional tournaments qualified four-player teams but only the top three scores for each school count in team standings. Schools that qualified three players, like defending Class 5A champion Coronado, can also compete for the team title. Regis Jesuit, Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, Fossil Ridge, Arapa-
hoe, Rock Canyon, Heritage and Lakewood qualified four-man teams. Regis, which has won four of the past five state titles, is favored. “There’ll be some amazing golf that goes on,” said Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner. Tournaments during the regular season and the regionals are one-day events but golfers at the state tournament will play 36 holes. “It’s going to separate the one kid that maybe has a really good round and make sure you don’t have that one round that wins the tournament,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “They have to play both days and that makes it that much harder.” In Class 4A, Valor Christian won the Metro regional by one shot over Evergreen but the Eagles have the experience in state tournaments. Valor has won five of the past six 4A titles.
Legend senior Josh Boatright had surgery after a July heart episode and is back playing this year. Photo byJim Benton “His heart was racing real bad and (he) felt like it was beating out of his chest. Something wasn’t right,” she said. “We recognized it, got help and referred him to whom we had to refer him to.” The 6-foot-1, 288-pound Boatright, who has moved from center to defensive line this season, is on heart medication. He has additional surgery scheduled after the season. “The surgery was supposed to be an hour, two hours tops,” recalled LeAnne. “My son was on the table for seven hours. His heart started swelling so they had to stop the procedure. So we go back in December, clean everything up and finish up the last 60 percent.” Boatright said he feels fortunate to be playing football. “I’m glad Piper was there,” he said. “I’m very blessed.”

Coach’s health scare brings perspective Valor Christian assistant softball coach Tony Lopez is looking good patrolling the first-base coaching box while encouraging base runners and batters. It was a little over a year ago when Lopez had a heart attack while teams from Valor and Wheat Ridge were warming up. Lopez, the 62-year-old who was the head coach for 12 seasons at Mullen before moving to Valor, recovered enough to be with the Eagles when the team won the Class 4A state title last October. “My heart stopped,” said Lopez. “It was quite an awakening and a pretty scary thing. It makes you put things in perspective. It made me feel like I had to rest more and eat right. I’m doing good now. I’m still not 100 percent but I’m getting better.” What’s in a name? If a great name could make a difference, Chaparral freshman Tyler Mulligan will be a contender at the Class 5A state golf tournament Oct. 5 and 6 in Fort Collins. Mulligan is the word for an extra stroke that is allowed after a poor shot and is not counted on the scorecard. There are no mulligans in competitive golf, it should be noted. “The grownups get more of a kick out of his name that the kids do,” said Chaparral coach Mark Stevens. “The kids don’t pay

teachers. Head trainers have to monitor practices, attend as many events as possible — especially football games — and make sure each activity for their school is covered by a trainer from one of the schools competing. “There is a lot going on,” said Chris Matthewson, who has been Ponderosa’s trainer for 23 years. “We just try to be in the middle of it.” Lindsay Anderson, the head trainer at Ralston Valley, noted that times have changed. “Sometimes just taping people up is

any attention to it. Whenever an adult sees his name on a score sheet, they say what a perfect name for a golfer. Bottom line is he doesn’t need any mulligans. He was our low qualifier at the regionals. He’s the real deal.”
Coming up big on OVERTIME extra points Legend’s Carli Meis looks out of place on the sidelines looking up at bigger and taller teammates. Once she lines up for an extra point kick, nobody notices her size. The 5-foot-1 senior had a background in soccer but abandoned the sport to play lacrosse. She is the Titans’ varsity kicker for extra points this season. Legend coach Robert Doyle says Meis has been one of the school’s most accurate PAT kickers as evidenced by her making seven of eight attempts this season. Her one miss was blocked.
have dates for the homecoming dance on Oct. 3. Hanna Storey, Abbey Montoya, Ashlyn Dzialo, Katelyn Dain and Emily Zimmerer invited five special-needs students and will be taking them to the dance. “Softball doesn’t really matter now because I’m so proud of them because of the people they are,” said Huskies coach Brian Stebbins.
Photographer, Adams 12 employee honored Pam Wagner, a former athletic secretary at Horizon, an employee in the Adams 12 media department and photographer for area newspapers, will be honored at halftime of the Oct. 8 Horizon-Mountain Range football game at North Stadium. Wagner died in June and a plaque will be given to her husband and later will be displayed in the press box.
Making their coach proud Five Douglas County softball players
Proud to be an American Defending Class 3A boys cross country champion Ben Butler, a SkyView Academy senior, got his chance to wear a USA jersey in international competition. He finished ninth in the 8.9K junior men’s course with a time of 36:49 at the World Junior Mountain Running Championships in Snowdonia, Wales, on Sept. 19. Team USA won a silver medal.
what our profession is known for because we are good at that, but that’s just a piece of what we do,” Anderson said. “The athletic training profession in general has been fighting to be seen as medical professionals and not just somebody that hands out Band-Aids and does basic first aid. Our knowledge is a lot deeper than that.” Advancements in technology and science mean treatments for injuries are constantly changing. “There’s a little bit of change every year,” Anderson said. “There is some new science out telling us how we should be treating athletes to give them optimal care.” Matthewson also has seen the job evolve over the years, particularly with concussions. “We’ve always taken concussions seriously, but we have much better manage-
ment mainly because people know it and understand it,” he said. “One of the biggest changes is I’m doing more of the rehab in the post-surgical care because health care has gotten to where you have surgery, three or four visits with the PT and then they say off you go. We do a lot of that and kids love it because they get to stay with friends and teammates and not get shipped off to a physical therapist.” Trainers also have a say about when an athlete can resume play. Sometimes, before making the decision, they consult with coaches and parents. “Even if a kid comes to me with a doctor’s note and the doctor’s note says he or she can play but I’m not comfortable with that, I can always be more conservative than the doctor’s notes and even be more aggressive,” said Thompson. “If I’m not comfortable, we
“Wearing the USA jersey was a dream come true, a culmination of all the work, emotion and love that I put into running, and it was something very special,” said Butler.
Corn Maze 5K won’t be a puzzle Jeff Sipes, media relations, marketing and special events director at Bandimere Speedway, has issued an invitation to runners to participate in the Oct. 24 Corn Maze 5K, and he promises nobody will get lost in the maze. There will be turns in the course but it won’t be like runners will need to find a way out of the maze to cross the finish line. The 5K run starts at 9 a.m. on the Sipes’ family farm, 4.5 miles north of Fort Collins. A Family 5K Run/Walk starts at noon with the Run Scared 5K set to start at 5:30 p.m. with participants guided with complimentary glow lights. Information can be found at CornMaze5K.net and $1 per runner will be donated to the Food Bank for Larimer County. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968.

The students learn skills required to be an athletic trainer and perform duties like retrieving water and hot packs to help trainers. Heritage High School trainer Rhiannon Oberto worked at Valparaiso and Kent State but prefers the high school level. “I’m really impressed with high school trainers,” she said. “I guess I did not realize how much more they have to do. I’m not discrediting a university athletic trainer, but they have a huge support system because there are a whole bunch of them in one facility. Here, right now, it’s just me. I love this atmosphere a lot better.”
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 28, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although practical situations continue to dominate this week, there’s time for the Lamb to indulge in the fun things in life -- like maybe taking a special someone out for a great evening. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week favors relationships. Take time to renew old ones, and make time to go where new friends can be found. On a more practical note, expect news about a business deal. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You should be seeing some progress on that new workplace situation. Meanwhile, family matters might demand more attention, and you’ll want to set aside time to deal with them. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A relationship suddenly might present some challenges you never expected. After talking things out, you might want to consider taking some time to assess what you’ve learned. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A disappointing response to a request might dampen the Lion’s spirits. But you might want to ask the reasons behind it. What you learn can be of great importance in a future undertaking. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A oncevolatile situation should be settled by now, giving you a chance to refocus on a project you’ve been planning for. Look for an interested party to rally to your support. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business matter that unexpectedly turns into a personal situation could create complications. Best to resolve the matter now before too much harm can be done. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Emotions can run high when they involve personal matters that no one really wants to talk about. But this could be a good time to create the means to a workable outcome. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A positive response to a workplace request could lead the way to other long-sought changes. Congratulations. A personal situation also takes a welcome turn.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Patience pays off, as that once-overwhelming work situation continues to become easier to handle on a one-by-one basis. Look for positive news from a colleague. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It might be a good idea to take more time to reassess your next move in working out a complex situation. You could benefit from a new perspective on the matter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might want to consider making time to discuss a change of plans with everyone concerned. Be prepared to explain your actions. Also be prepared to listen to alternatives. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a strong sense of what is right, and you try to work from that foundation.
