Englewood students return for fall session Children, parents converge to launch academic year
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com There were lots of smiles and a few tears as about 2,750 Englewood students arrived for the first day of the new school year. Vehicle and foot traffic was heavy around the schools on Aug. 11 as many parents escorted children to the first day of class. Chad Babcock held the hand of his son Jackson as they arrived at Charles
Hay World School for the boy’s first day of kindergarten. “I am excited and so is Jackson,” Babcock said. “He has been ready to leave for school since yesterday. It is his first year and he is ready to go.” A short distance behind the Babcock family, Ginger Rode brought her daughter Maris to Hay so the girl could also start kindergarten. “I am a little nervous for her but I am also excited for her,” Ginger said. “She has been ready to leave the house since about 6:30 this morning.”

Marijuana initiatives heading for ballot Two issues clear hurdle; third awaiting approval By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Riders and their steeds gallop around the course during the Aug. 14 Bruce Wolf Stick Horse Stampede in Littleton. The Western Welcome Week event drew about 100 toddlers through 12-year-olds, divided into groups according to age. Western Welcome Week kicked off Aug. 12 with a concert at Sterne Park and fireworks. The 10-day celebration has something for everyone throughout the week, leading up to the Grand Parade and Old Timers’ Luncheon this weekend. For more photos and stories, see Pages 5 and 6.

Western Welcome Week off to roaring start Barbecue, concert and fireworks at Sterne Park launch activities
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Western Welcome Week began for the 88th time on Aug. 12 at Sterne Park with the Lions Club Community Barbecue, music courtesy of the Denver Municipal
Band and fireworks. The theme of this year is “Salute to Educators.” The three parade grand marshals — former Littleton Public Schools Principal Kenneth Coddington, current Littleton High School teacher Michael Montgomery and Hannah Sturdivant,
a recent Arapahoe Community College early childhood education graduate — who represent the past, present and future of education, were introduced before the concert. The concert and fireworks— in its 27th year —is perennially popular with many Littleton residents.
Supporters gathered the required number of signatures on their petitions to place two marijuana-related questions on the November ballot and the city clerk’s office was continuing the process to determine the sufficiency of signatures on a third marijuana-related ballot initiative. City Clerk Lou Ellis said on Aug. 15 there are sufficient signatures on the petitions to place two dueling marijuana questions on the November ballot. One will ask voters to allow the sale of recreational marijuana in the city; the opposing question will ask voters to keep the existing ban on recreational marijuana sales. As of press time, the city clerk’s office staff was continuing the signature

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
JOE UNREIN Former paramedic, present-day Santa Claus, Cadillac ambulance owner About me I live in Littleton. I’m retired from emergency medical services and I do tech support. I’m also a professional Santa Claus and I own a 1959 Cadillac ambulance. How long were you in EMS? I spent 23 years in the EMS industry. I was a paramedic, then I went into management in 1987 and supervised para-
medics and EMTs. I thought that might be easier, but then I had my problems and their problems. I retired in 1992. How did you become a professional Santa Claus? I was Santa Claus for my nieces and nephews, only because I was big enough for the suit. So I did that for 30 years. And sooner or later I started doing it for their kids and my son, and my wife said “Gee, you’re really good at this, and now you have a natural beard. Why don’t you make a little money?” I went to a couple Santa Claus schools. This will be my fifth season coming up. I can’t be a mall Santa because I have a full-time job, but I do corporate events and private parties, and I break even enough to where I can do some charity events. How long have you had your ambulance? I’ve had it for 38 years. I had a 1949 Ford that I sold to my father to buy the ambulance. I’ve had it painted twice, but the basic scheme is the same. It was originally a hearse. Cadillacs were the top-end ambulances back then. This one was built by Superior Coach. It’s 6,000 pounds and 22 feet long. I drive it almost every weekend in the summer, and during the winter if the weather is nice. It gets a lot of attention.

Littleton wins award for wayfinding signs Littleton’s downtown wayfinding signs have won an award from a statewide nonprofit. On Aug. 5, Downtown Colorado Inc. awarded the city the Governor’s Award for Best New Addition to Downtown in a Large Community for the new signs, which point to various businesses downtown. DCI is a nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing Colorado’s downtown districts. Littleton and other winners will be honored at the 2016 Governor’s Awards Ceremony and Gala on Sept. 22 in Pueblo. Council sets 6 p.m. start for budget hearings The Littleton City Council will hold public hearings on drafting next year’s budget next month. The hearings will be held Sept. 19-21. The council agreed at an Aug. 9 study to begin the meetings at 6 p.m. rather than the normal council meeting start time of 6:30 p.m. to avoid running too late into the night.

Littleton Public Schools this year
By Kyle Harding | kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
School is back in session this week for Littleton Public Schools’ 15,000 students. Here’s a look at what’s new as classes got underway Aug. 18.
1 2 3 4
Runyon Elementary is back Students are back at Damon Runyon Elementary School in Littleton after construction on the school. Runyon held classes at the Whitman building at the Options Secondary Program campus last year during the construction, which included a steel roof in order to extend the lifespan of the building and provide higher ceilings. The school will host an open house on Sept. 1 to showcase the work done to the building and thank the community for its patience and support, district spokeswoman Anna Ziverts said.
LPS welcomes new staff Some new staff members in Littleton Public Schools this year include two new principals, Karla Gruenwald at Centennial Academy in Littleton and Jennifer Sheldon at Sandburg Elementary School in Centennial. The district also welcomes two new assistant principals at Arapahoe High School: Cory Hawk, who will also be the activities director, and Pat McCabe, who will be athletic director as well. Ziverts said that about 3,000 people apply for about 75 job openings within the district each year.
Teachers are finalists for national awards A pair of Field Elementary School teachers are being honored for math and science teaching and could earn national awards. Lindsey Gunderson-Hahn and Sarah Ogier were selected by a state committee as finalists for the 2016 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. They will move on to a national selection committee composed of science educators that will meet in Washington, D.C. Teachers chosen as national awardees next summer will receive $10,000 and be honored at various ceremonies. LPS Foundation has banner year The Littleton Public Schools Foundation raised $408,000 throughout the last school year to supplement LPS programs. Foundation Executive Director Beth Best recently presented district Superintendent Brian Ewert with a symbolic check representing the year’s fundraising, which included $250,000 to complete STEM centers at the district’s four middle schools. The four-year program outfitted the centers with 3-D printers, new computers, design software and hand tools. In addition, funding supported teacher grants and mental health services for students and families.
Miles for Tuesday ups turnout in second year By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com A 5K race to memorialize a Castle Rock girl and raise money for a children’s cancer charity drew 277 runners and walkers to Breckenridge Brewery on Aug. 6. This was the second year that Miles for Tuesday hosted its own race, after several years of raising money through other races. The first year had about 150 participants. Miles for Tuesday was started in memory of Tuesday Whitt, who died of neuroblastoma when she was just two years old in January 2009. Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that is most common in infants and young children,
according to the American Cancer Society. It starts in developing nerve cells. Tuesday’s parents, Charley and Jessica Whitt, and their friend Bill Mell, started the charity to fund programs to improve the lives of child cancer patients and their families. They hope to bring a program called Shutterbugs to Children’s Hospital fulltime. The program, run by the Pablove Foundation, teaches children with cancer the fundamentals of photography — culminating in an art show that in turn raises more money. Mell said more than $21,000 was raised by the race. “It was an amazing turnout, and a great representation of community and goodwill on display,” he said.

‘He fought me ... but we got him’ More than 200 anglers sign up for WWW’s kids’ fishing derby By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Terms like “Watch your bobber” and “You have on one on your line” dispelled the normal quiet around Geneva Lake during the Aug. 13 Littleton Elkssponsored Kids Fishing Derby, an annual Western Welcome Week event. An when the first of two kids hauled in large catfish, applause and cheers echoed around the lake. First, 7-year-old Dominic Gunshore, with his dad’s help, pulled in a 23-inch catfish. Minutes later, along the same stretch of the lake bank, Owen Stricker, also 7, got help from his dad to haul in a catfish that was 27 inches long. This is Owen’s third year at the fishing derby, but the first time he has caught a fish. “Dad told me I had a fish on the line,” Owen said. “He fought me and we thought he was going to snap our line. But we got him.” Estimates were the fish weighed 12 pounds or more. Owen’s arms shook, he said, as he smiled for pictures holding his fish. One of the officials who measured

“This is one of my favorite events of the week,” said local business owner Pete McClintock, a Western Welcome Week board member. Other events of the opening weekend included the Stampede! for Open Space and Gold Panning on the Platte, the Elks Children’s Fishing Derby, the Arapahoe Community College Family Pancake Breakfast, Pancake 5K and the Elks Custom Car Show. The Stampede! For Open Space and gold panning drew families to South Platte Park to play games and learn about the history of the South Platte River. “It’s a time to have fun and

Emmalyn Crisp, 6, and her 4-year-old brother Eastyn keep their eyes on their bobbers as they hope to make a catch during the Aug. 13 Children’s Fishing Derby. The Crisps were among about 200 children who entered this year’s derby, an annual Western Welcome Week event sponsored by the Littleton Elks. Photos by Tom Munds the catch said the catfish had two other hooks in its mouth, so apparently it had avoided being caught at least twice before. A short distance from the measuring station, the Crisp family set up along the bank of the lake. Ryan Crisp helped his children Eastyn, 4, and Emmalyn, 6, bait their hooks and cast their lines. “This is a good event for the kids,” the Jefferson County resident said. “I love
fishing and I hope they will have fun and they will learn to love the sport, too. Mom and Dad are here with us. It is a nice day and, hopefully, each of them will catch a fish or two.” More than 200 2- to 12-year olds signed up for the event. However it was shoulder-to-shoulder on the banks of the lake because the kids were usually joined by a host of family members giving advice and occasionally helping bait a hook,

This is the 25th year the Elks have sponsored the fishing derby. Although Geneva Lake contains fish, the Elks greatly increased the fish population by stocking the lake Aug. 12 with 250 pounds of catfish from Cook, Nebraska.

become aware of what a treasure South Platte Park is,” said South Metro Land Conservancy board member Bobbie Sheffield. WWW festivities continue throughout the week with a tour of the Colorado Center for the Blind, swing dancing at RiverPointe Senior Living, the Taste of Western Welcome Week and Silent Auction and the Elks Hometown Pig Roast and Dance. The week leads up Grand Parade and festival day on Aug. 20 when about 120 entries will travel the twomile route down Littleton Boulevard and Main Street. The final day, Sunday, Aug. 21, will feature the 64th annual Homecoming Luncheon, or Oldtimers’ Luncheon, at Littleton Museum.

WESTERN WELCOME WEEK
‘You don’t know how much you don’t know’
Until you compete in trivia-filled WWW contest with questions about Littleton, Colorado and more By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com As the Western Welcome Week Live Trivia Challenge began on the afternoon of Aug. 13 at Platte River Bar & Grille, the 70 or so contestants were given the length of “Runnin’ Down a Dream” by Tom Petty to answer the first question. “Most emperor penguins mate for life. True or false?” Contrary to seemingly popular belief, they do not. The contest mostly mirrored common bar trivia, with topics ranging from “Game of Thrones” and the Olympics to what job Kurt Cobain had after he dropped out of high school. Adding a local twist were Colorado, Littleton and Western Welcome Week questions, and some questions earned contestants a Scrabble tile, with bonus points awarded to the team that spelled the highest-scoring word. For WWW board member Pete McClintock, the trivia was a humbling experience. “You don’t realize how much you don’t know until somebody asks you about it,” he said.

Annual music show draws biggest crowd yet 8,000 celebrants pack city park at 11th Centennial Under the Stars
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com The 11th annual Centennial Under the Stars was the largest one to date with more than 8,000 people in attendance from across South Metro Denver. Residents flocked to Centennial Center Park, adjacent to the Centennial Civic Center off East Arapahoe Road, on Aug. 13 for live music, games, food and drink, and a sky-illuminating laser light show.
South metro Denver area residents enjoy a final summer extravanga at the 11th annual Centennial Under the Stars on Aug. 13.
This year’s festivities featured a special performance from Under a Blood Red Sky — The U2 Tribute. The Denver-based band mirrored U2, the Irish rock group known for its hits “With or Without You” and “Beautiful Day.” “Under a Blood Red Sky — The U2 Tribute brought the type of electrifying performance worthy of our largest annual event,” said Chris Michlewicz, communications coordinator of the City of Centennial. “The band brought the incredible energy and musicianship we have heard so much about.” The city was also pleased with the local opening bands, The Redlands and Chemistry Club. The indie rock groups “kept the crowd on their feet,” Michlewicz said.

Vascular (Erythematotelangectatic) Rosacea: • Vascular rosacea is characterized by chronic redness and frequent flushing of the skin (especially with alcohol, spicy foods, or exercise). Occasionally, visible blood vessels may be seen on the cheeks or nose. • The most effective treatment for facial redness is the pulse dye laser. Various topical and oral rosacea treatments may help mitigate some of the redness, especially if bumps are also present.

A Wake, A Mistake & A Wedding Cake
A Musical Murder Mystery Presented by303-945-2080 MO Productions Dr. Kimberly Neyman September 11th at 4:30 p.m. Come join us in remembering Johhny Gagliano as we attend his wake in this musical sequel to 2010’s “Limited Engagement”. Returning from parts unknown after literally getting away with murder at their engagement party-turned-wedding are Lilly White & Dirk Forester, to pay their respects to Dirk’s friend, Johnny. They feel uncomfortably familiar with a number of the attendees, including Johnny’s not-so-grieving widow, Angie Scungili-Galiano, former wedding consultant-turned funeral director and Johnny’s business partner, Frankie Dazzle, and Frankie’s new assistant, Grace Taylor, who resembles a creepy person from the past that they’d sooner forget. As everyone catches up, it appears maybe Dirk & Lilly aren’t quite as welcome as they might think, and someone dies! Due to sexual humor and suggestive adult language, this show is rated PG-13. Tickets include: Mini- Castle Tours, Buffet Dinner and Performance. A cash bar will also be available to purchase drinks.

• Inflammatory rosacea is characterized by chronic facial redness as well as intermittent or chronic outbreaks of red bumps and pimples. • Treatment includes topical gels such as metronidazole (Metrogel®) or azeleic acid (Finacea®) and oral antibiotics including doxycycline or minocycline.
Phymatous Rosacea: • Phymatous rosacea is characterized by thickened skin, predominantly on the nose, leading to a lumpy, bulbous appearance (rhinophyma). • Rhinophyma is effectively treated with CO2 laser treatments.
Ocular Rosacea: • Rosacea can involve the eyes and is commonly characterized by a sensation of burning, stinging or grittiness (as if someone threw sand in your eyes). Longstanding ocular rosacea may lead to damage of the cornea (the transparent front layer of the eye). • Treatment includes long-term low-dose antibiotics.
As skin quality and type are different from patient to patient, treatment for rosacea generally includes photo-protection and is personalized for each individual. We will work closely with you to determine the best course of treatment for your unique skin type to control your rosacea and restore your complexion.

Nicaraguan boys ‘bless’ donations of baseball gear
Players used sticks for bats, rolled-up socks wrapped with adhesive tape for balls
Hamberto Gardian, a San Isidro, Nicaragua 16-year-old, grinned as he tried on the full set of baseball catcher’s gear that once belonged to a Highlands Ranch baseball player his age. “This equipment is special for me and for others who catch for our school team. It is the first time I have used a batter’s helmet like this and it feels good,” Gardion said through an interpreter. “I thank the catcher who shared his equipment with me and I thank those who brought it here to our school. God bless them all.” The catcher’s gear was part of the baseball equipment that members of the Casa Unida Foundation delivered to Eben-Ezer School in San Isidro on July 25. It was the first of three schools visited during the week-long trip. The Lakewood-based all-volunteer organization began the equipment program when the foundation learned Nicaraguan schools receive no money for sports or physical education equipment. The
three schools visited in July make a total of seven Nicaraguan schools that have received equipment from the foundation. The foundation team came to northern Nicaragua the last week in July to deliver equipment to three schools, to gather information on how much baseball equipment the average school had and to check out the playing fields as part of a project the organization hopes will generate the support to deliver equipment to many more schools. The foundation team delivered the catcher’s gear along with a duffel bag of three bats, two dozen baseballs, 12 right-handed gloves, two left-handed gloves and a catcher’s mitt to San Isidro. The coach at the San Isidro school thanked the team for the equipment, because so many school players didn’t have gloves and the school had no bats or balls. “The catcher’s gear is very special,” he said with a smile. “Our catcher will probably be the best protected catcher we will see all season.” The catcher’s gear originally belonged to Sean
Members of the baseball team at Eben-Ezer HIgh School in San Isdiro, Nicaragua check out the equipment donated to their school. The equipment included a complete set of catcher gear donated by Highlands Ranch resident Sean Healey and delivered to the school by members of the Lakewood-based Casa Unida Foundation. Photo by Tom Munds Healey, who played baseball at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. He graduated in 2015. The baseball equipment project took on added importance when local officials told the foundation that baseball has replaced soccer as the number one sport in Nicaragua. The lack of adequate equipment is compounded because schools have no money for equipment and few families can afford to buy equipment for their sons, they said. In the Somoto area, the average
daily wage is about $5 and a cheap baseball costs $6. Gloves like the foundation delivered to the schools would cost a family $80 to $100. At all three schools that the foundation visited and donated to in July, coaches told foundation members that their leagues provide some equipment for players. The borrowed equipment makes playing the game better, but there still were no gloves, bats or balls at the schools for team practices. One coach told foundation members that

the players used sticks for bats and rolled-up socks covered with adhesive tape for balls. Reymundo Lopez, coach at Solomon Ibaria School in San Luan Rio Coco, told foundation members the game of baseball was important to the school because players learn sportsmanship and discipline, plus they learn the importance of maintaining good academic standings in the school and the importance of strong moral values. Coach Marvin Cruiz Rios at Instituto National Palacaguino had similar comments. “This equipment is a blessing to the school and to the students,” he said

through an interpreter. “We now work on skills in practice we will use in games. It also helps us spend time with the players, teaching them about important values like strong academic work, good sportsmanship and strong Christian values.” The foundation’s effort to supply baseball equipment to schools began more than a year ago when Englewood High School’s baseball team donated some used gloves to the effort to gather equipment for Nicaraguan schools. Healey enclosed a note with the catcher’s gear. The note said: “I hope you enjoy your new catcher’s gear! It served me well over many years of catching and I hope it can do the same for you. Baseball is an amazing sport and has given me many lifelong memories over the years. Baseball has taught me how to believe in myself, think strategically and created many great friendships that I will have forever. I am extremely happy to be able to pass on my gear to you and I hope it treats you well!” Gardian read the note, then wrote a reply. The interpreted reply said: “Well, first we thank God for these blessings, for everything you have given to our school,” he said of Casa Unida Foundation. “I also want to thank the catcher who sent the equipment. Bless you for sharing your equipment with us.”

Retirement community will host walk to end Alzheimer’s BY THE NUMBERS
Someren Glen invites neighbors to participate in the Aug. 27 fundraiser
5.4 million — Americans have
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com
5.2 million — people are 65 and
Jim Chunn, a resident of Someren Glen Retirement Community in Centennial, recalls his late wife’s experience with Alzheimer’s: Jan was diagnosed with the disease about 6 1/2 years ago when the couple was living in San Francisco. The last three years were very difficult, Chunn said. Jan lost the ability to talk and couldn’t perform daily activities on her own. “I would read stories to her,” Chunn said. “All you can do is just love them — that’s all you can do.” The stress wore on Chunn, who was taking care of his wife full-time. About a year ago, the couple moved to Colorado, where their children live, and Jan began living in a memory care home. Last February, Jan — who was 80 years old — fell and was taken to the hospital. For unknown reasons, she wouldn’t eat or drink. Doctors performed many tests — all which came back normal. Ultimately, her husband said, Alzheimer’s took her life. On Aug. 27, Chunn and other residents of Someren Glen Retirement Community invite neighbors to walk in a fundraiser to defeat Alzheimer’s. The event starts at 9 a.m. at the retirement community at 4751 E. Costilla Drive, between East Arapahoe Road and East Easter Avenue. The walk is affiliated with the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s — the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and money for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Last year, about 11,000 registered participants in Colorado raised more than $1.9 million at 11 regional walks, earning a spot in the top 10 most successful walks in the nation, according to a news release. “The Walk to End Alzheimer’s movement unites the entire community in a display of combined strength and dedica-

The disease is the most common form of dementia — also known as memory loss — and progressively deteriorates mental function. Symptoms include memory loss and changes in thinking and behavior, according to the National Alzheimer’s Association. About 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimers — 2.2 million are 65 and older and about 200,000 are younger than 65, the National Alzheimer’s Association reports. The Someren Glen Retirement Community walk is open to people of all ages, backgrounds and locations. The entry fee is $5. Adults who would like to make a larger donation are asked to write a check to the Alzheimer’s Association, which the retirement community will pass along. For additional questions call Beth Corn, of Someren Glen Retirement Community, at 720-974-2915.

VOICES

Love, forgiveness work like new Wow, is it just me or are there more people asking to be forgiven and offering up apologies than ever before? We are seeing it in the news, from the politicians, to athletes, we see it and hear it amongst friends and families, I mean I have even found myself asking for forgiveness more and more and certainly offering forgiveness more and more. What is it that is causing such a surge of activity that calls for an apology? What is driving our behaviors, poor choices, and our use of an unsavory and certainly an unhealthy vocabulary? Is it stress? Is it frustration? Could it be our environment or the people we are hanging around with? Maybe it’s a combination of all of it at some time or another. For many of us, asking for forgiveness comes very easily, as we know when we are in the wrong. Our foundational belief system around seeking reconciliation moves us to take action and make amends for our mistakes. And yet for others, asking for forgiveness is one of the toughest things that they will ever do. They are so resistant to apologies and can’t seem to get the words “I’m sorry” to come from their lips. And even though they know that they are wrong, they would rather have a situation or relationship deteriorate before bringing themselves to a point where they could ever admit fault. Some people believe that “Love” means that you never have to say you are sorry.
Or they just use that saying as something to hide behind and as an avoidance mechanism. We are all humans and all have the potential to make mistakes, falter, and make bad choices. Our mistakes have happened in the past and we will certainly make more Michael Norton going forward. And WINNING even when we are in a relationship based on WORDS true love, I can promise you that offering a sincere and well-deserved apology will strengthen that relationship and bring deeper love than making the decision to remain silent. When appropriate, asking for forgiveness and offering apologies are absolutely the right thing to do. And just as important is to find the strength and love in our own hearts to offer forgiveness. Each and every one of us has already been forgiven. And yet, many of us who have received forgiveness still hold back and deny that same forgiveness to others. Some of us hold on to anger and grudges, believing that we are hurting the person who is trying to apologize. When in reality, the only person that continues to remain hurt is the person who is withhold-
ing the forgiveness. You may try and come up with many different scenarios where forgiveness could just not be possible. The sin or mistake was just too terrible to be forgiven. And I will share with you that in each and every scenario you can think of, the support and rationale for forgiveness will always outweigh the perception to deny or withhold forgiveness. OK, so maybe you can get close to agreeing with me, and you may say something like, “I can forgive them, but I will not forget.” If you can get to that point of forgiveness, you may as well go all the way to forgetting too. Holding on to a bad memory or situation, or harboring any sort of anger will only lead to reliving the event or situation over and over again. So learn from the mistake, set good boundaries so you can’t be hurt again, but learn to love, forgive, and forget. How about you? Are you living with a spirit of love and forgiveness? Is there someone who would love to hear an apology from you? Is there someone that would love to be forgiven by you? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when love and forgiveness are a part of our guiding values, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Take practical steps toward senior years
Business Manager AUDREY BROOKS
This article is for everyone, regardless of age. While none of us likes to think about getting older, it could be your siblings, parents or your grandparents who need your help in making good decisions. Staying at home and staying indepenPatricia Kummer dent are two different FINANCIAL things. Perhaps the STRATEGIES best way to be truly independent is to be free of the house and yard work. Therefore, choosing where you will live should be determined by what is important to you. It is never too early to plan on how to go about providing for yourself or your loved ones. In almost 30 years of advising clients of all ages, I have learned a few things. The terms “aging” or “elderly” do not mean “helpless.” It does not mean they can’t think for themselves and it does not mean they are sick. In some cases those other things also occur but not always. Being retired does not mean you are old and being over a certain age does not mean you are no longer productive or able to work, volunteer and take care of yourselves. Having gray hair or wearing reading glasses does not mean you are elderly. I see people in their 40s who have both these days. The ironic thing is that a typical 40-year-old could live another 60 years. That means they could be considering “aging” for the majority of their lives. OK, so point taken, we start aging before we can walk. Now, how to plan for the inevitable starts with understanding the facts. Let’s take a look at housing. This seems to be the biggest challenge, especially for people who have not moved in a very long time. It is difficult to imagine living anywhere else. The sticker shock that goes along with “downsizing” or moving to a retirement community often deters many seniors from even looking further. A majority of older adults have not changed residences in more

Zzzzz ... it’s worth repeating
Craig Marshall Smith
QUIET DESPERATION
Zzzzzz. Is there anything better than sleep? Just before sleep and just after sleep are my two favorite times of the day. The name for the lovely period right before we nod off is not very dreamy. Hypnagogia. It’s the transition from being awake to being asleep. Coming out of sleep has a
graceless name too. Hypnopompia. I dated a girl in high school named Gladys Hynopompia. As you can imagine, she was teased a lot. I heard that she married a man named Brown, and her disposition improved immeasurably. Before I rhapsodize about sleep, I want to express my condolences to anyone who
can’t sleep, and to anyone who falls asleep when they wish they didn’t. Insomnia is no good for you. Narcolepsy is no good for you either. Remember the Dormouse in “Alice”? Sleep comes upon me easily, and I look forward to it. When I was in college, I could sleep for 12 hours, wake, brush my teeth, and go back to it.

Now is the time to roll out the rain barrels
Jessie Danielson
GUEST COLUMN
It’s been a long and surprisingly difficult fight, but on Aug. 10 my new law legalizing rain barrels in Colorado officially took effect. The new law makes Colorado the last of the 50 states to allow citizens to collect and store the rainwater that falls on their roofs. It’s estimated that using two rain barrels could save your home as much as 1,200 gallons of water per year. Now, residents across the state are able to use rain barrels to collect the water from their roofs to water their plants and gardens. Here are a few tips to help get you started: • Rain barrels of different shapes, sizes and materials may be purchased at many hardware and home improvement stores across the state, as well as online. • You may use up to two barrels for a combined total of 110 gallons. • The water collected may only be used on your
property, and may not be used for drinking water. • Your rain barrel must have a secure lid and screen to keep mosquitos from becoming a problem. Most rain barrels available for purchase include the necessary equipment. • To install your rain barrel, you really only need a gutter. But, depending on the gutters on your home, you may want to get a flexible gutter extension or additional materials that best suit your downspouts. • As winter approaches, make sure to empty the rain barrel to avoid any damage that freezing water might cause. I can tell you from my experience that purchasing, assembling and installing my rain barrel under a downspout was easy and didn’t take much time at all. From now on, I’ll be one of many Coloradans using rain barrels and taking part in this simple way to save a little bit of water. This is
especially important to me, as we welcome 10,000 new Colorado residents each month and need to work to conserve our most precious resource. Conservation Colorado worked with my co-prime sponsors, Rep. Daneya Esgar and Sen. Mike Merrifield, and me on this bill, and has a lot more information at http://conservationco. org/2016/07/all-about-rain-barrels/ Thanks to so many of you for your outpouring of support for the passage of this bill. Now that it is official, I hope you’ll take advantage of the new law and get a rain barrel for your home. Together we really can make a difference.

more than 20 years (58 percent), and 75 percent say they intend to live in their current home for the rest of their lives. If you are unlikely to move, the next step is getting the home ready to age in place. Many older adults have been proactive in making home improvements, including 34 percent who have made bathroom upgrades and 28 percent who have improved lighting. Other options may be to move in with other family members. While this concept is assumed in many other cultures, it has not been popular in this country for several generations. Housing costs continue to rise, which may force extended family dwellings in due time. This could work well for three or more generations living in the same household as child care, home upkeep and working adults all need to be considered. The number of resources to support in-home health care is not sufficient for the coming need. Therefore, cost will continue to rise and services may suffer as resources are stretched thin. The costs of providing services for those who don’t have the time, expertise or ability to care for their own home are also on the rise. Therefore we see more rentals and multi-family dwellings designed to lower purchase and maintenance costs. First, determine what the needs of the family members are and research all pos-

That senior community that appeared very expensive may make more sense when you realize what you could sell the big house for and what the maintenance would cost over time. Maybe the adult children are struggling under mortgage payments and could use some help and have room. Perhaps it is time to clean out the attic, sell any extra cars, lawn supplies and put everything on one floor. With the number of knee and hip replacements, many people have the need to have all of their living space on one floor. There are many considerations you can discuss with your financial planner, elder law attorney, healthcare provider and family members. Understand how these decisions affect the estate, taxes and assets. Consider selling items the kids are not interested in such as antiques, artwork, jewelry and tools. It is hard to imagine being somewhere else if the past is weighing you down. Time marches on, so putting off decisions to another day may limit your options.

I’ve changed my whole identity looking like this with the long beard.”

Nick Mischel, Barber at Freddy’s Barber Shop
Tyler Johnson of Lone Tree has had a beard since the age of 19. He has been growing his current beard for four years.
Nick Mischel was an elementary school teacher in New Mexico before changing careers and becoming a barber three years ago.
The local beardsman Men put style, masculinity on display with facial hair By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com
A
s an elementary school teacher in New Mexico, Nick Mischel had to keep a certain appearance. “In teaching, you have to be relatively conservative,” Mischel said. “I was able to have a goatee, but not a full-on beard.” Three years ago, he quit teaching and pursued his dream of being a barber — a traditional barber who performs straight-razor shaves and does it while looking the part. “I’ve changed my whole identity looking like this with the long beard,” said Mischel, who works at Freddy’s Barber Shop in Arvada. “If I could barber in the 1800s, I would be right there.”
FUN FACTS
• 55 percent of males worldwide have some kind of facial hair, according to the History Channel.
• The last president to wear a beard in office was Benjamin Harrison, who served from 1889-1893.
• A thick beard can help prevent skin cancer by providing 50 percent to 95 percent protection from harmful ultraviolet rays, according to a study by researchers at the University of Southern Queensland in Australia and published in the journal Radiation Protection Dosimetry.
• The beard of Norway’s Hans N. Langseth measured 17 feet 6 inches at the time of his death in 1927. Langseth holds the Guinness world record for longest beard, which was presented to the Smithsonian Institution in 1967.
Parker Mayor Mike Waid said he’s had facial hair since fifth grade and doesn’t like the way he looks without it. “If you think about it, societally, beards are one of the few masculine accessories that a man has to work with,” Waid said. “It’s fun.” Eric Lough, founder of Denver-

based The Famous Beard Oil Co., said while beards have become more common in recent years, especially in Colorado, they are far from a new trend. “Of course, there is an influx of beard-growing over the past few years, but to me, personally, beards are always around and they’re never
going to go away,” Lough said. “If you look throughout history, in every old picture you see, there is a man with a beard.” Attention grabber Mischel said his beard attracts business as well as attention. “Since I have this look, and I’m interested in having the same look as my clients, it kind of advertises for me,” he said. “Lots of times, I’ll be at the store and someone will ask me about my beard and I’ll tell them I’m a barber.” Tyler Johnson, of Lone Tree, said he’s grown facial hair for the majority of his adult life. He has been working on his current beard for four years. He routinely gets asked about his look. “You don’t normally go and randomly compliment people as they walk down the street, but people Beards continues on Page 15

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com In addition to being mayor of Parker, Mike Waid is founder of Extraordinary Beards, a local company that makes facial hair-care products. He started the company after making his own beard oils at home for himself and friends. “What I found, and it was a little disheartening, is that most products were either based on brand or smell,” Waid said. “There was Viking-brand oil and pirate oil and zombie baseball player. I’m not kidding you.” Waid said his oils are made with allnatural ingredients and are focused on hair health. Beard oils add shine, reduce dryness and moisturize skin and hair, the beardsmen say. A small amount can be brushed into a beard as part of a daily routine.
Eric Lough, who started Denverbased The Famous Beard Oil Co. six years ago, said beard oils are right for anyone with any type of skin. But it’s important to wait until your beard is dry before applying. “You don’t use a lot. You don’t want your beard and face to feel oily,” Lough said. “You use about a dime to a quartersize amount depending on the size of your beard.” Beard oils and other similar products have become more readily available in recent years. Beardsman say they are essential to healthy grooming and help combat the great enemy of facial hair — itch. “We have a guy in the Netherlands who is a professional Santa Claus,” Waid said. “He has a long white beard and he’ll buy 20 bottles at a time because his beard is his profession and he has to keep it healthy.”

The power of story comes through in songs What was the last song you heard that really told a story? Scrolling through the radio these days, the vast majority of songs are about feelings — usually love, or lack of — or songs addressing a particular person. None of this is bad, per se, but some of the most affecting songs bring the listener into a different world and tell a story. Clarke Reader Unfortunately, for those of us LINER who find ourselves NOTES in little turns of phrase or scenes from these oftenlong tracks, story songs appear to be falling by the wayside in a pop climate that prizes inclusivity over nuance and bland sentiments over real storytelling. There’s a transformative magic about the specificity of language and detail in what are now referred to as a story songs, more familiarly known as ballads, an art that traces its history to Medieval times. They foster connection between the musician and the listener, even if

randomly stop and compliment me on my beard as I’m walking,” Johnson said.” I’m used to it now, but when I’m with someone who isn’t used to the attention they’ll say to me, ‘Does this happen all the time?’ And I’m like, ‘pretty much.’ ” Brad Wann, of Highlands Ranch, has worn a beard for more than 20 years and advises if you go down the path of looking different, you should always expect the unexpected. “Just this year, I was in a crowded coliseum, when two women walking by just had to feel my beard,” Wann said. “One actually reached out and touched it without asking. I’ve had total strangers ask to take photos with me.” Lough, a self-described beardsman, said people treat him differently because of his facial hair. “I get called sir a lot,” Lough said. “There’s more respect.”
you’ve never experienced what the song is about. Consider songs like The Shangri-Las’ “The Leader of the Pack,” Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row,” Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue” or Eminem’s “Stan.” These kinds of songs have the power of empathy — allowing the listener to relate to an idea or emotion by avoiding generalities, and going deep. I started thinking about this while listening to Car Seat Headrest’s hilarious and heartbreaking “The Ballad of Costa Concordia” in the car on the way home from work. The 10-minute opus is from his 2016 album “Teens of Denial.” The Costa Concordia was an Italian cruise ship that sunk in 2012, claiming 32 lives. The Car Seat Headrest song doesn’t chronicle events leading to the crash — instead, it focuses on the many mistakes we make in our 20s as we try to figure out our lives. Singer Will Toledo details a litany of his mistakes — to emphasize how he is still learning. Check out the questions: How was I supposed to know how to ride a bike without hurting myself? How was I supposed to know how to make dinner for myself? How was I supposed to know how to hold a job? How was I supposed to remember to grab my backpack after I set it down to
A nice beard takes time: “You don’t want to look dirty. You don’t want to look unkempt and you don’t want to look like you just fell into a beard,” Waid said. “We get our hair cut for a reason. We trim our nails for a reason. You take vitamins and keep healthy for a reason. That should absolutely apply to your beard.”
Selection: Blind Pilot’s “And Then Like Lions,” released on ATO Records.
The result is as warm and invigorating as a blanket on a cool autumn day.
Review: Wistful and lilting, Blind Pilot’s third album is the perfect folk rock soundtrack for the end of summer and beginning of autumn. The group adds some lovely horn lines to its shimmering cascade of guitars and banjos.
Favorite song: “Which Side I’m On”
To feel the full force of song, a listener has to be engaged. play basketball? As the song goes on, Toledo starts identifying with the captain of the Costa Concordia, which is where the power of story kicks in. Toledo projects himself into the mind of someone who messed up royally, not because he was evil, but because he made a crucial error. How the hell was I supposed to steer this ship? It was an expensive mistake! he howls, before the song crashes into waves of
A lifestyle In Colorado, full beards are a common occurrence. “It fits with the lifestyle,” Waid said. “When I’m out in the elements in the winter time, it absolutely makes a difference and keeps your face warmer.” Waid notices an unspoken bond with many of the men with beards he comes across. “Sometimes,” he said, “it’s just a look.” Wann agreed that beards and the outdoor lifestyle go hand in hand. “The more I did mountain-themed events, the more I wanted to look the part,” Wann said. “From being a pack burro racer to reindeer wrangler, it just fit well.” In addition to being a good fit for the climate and character of the state, Lough said Colorado also offers a number of barbershops that know how to maintain and trim your beards because of their popularity. “I really don’t think I’ll shave it off completely,” Lough said. “There were times throughout the years that I trimmed it down pretty short, but I felt bad about it and grew it back.”
BEARD GROWING AND GROOMING TIPS Don’t wash your beard every day: “You still want to be clean,” Mike Waid said. “You can let the water run over it in the shower, but don’t get in there and scrub it with a bar of soap or shampoo or anything like that. It dries the heck out of the skin under your beard and beard hair itself.”

Trim judiciously: “Trimming is a delicate subject because people will get frustrated and go at it,” barber Nick Mischel said. “Really, what they need to do is just take bread crumbs off. If they ever come at you with a full-on clipper, that is probably not the person who should trim your beard.” For a long beard, let sideburns grow: “For people who really want to grow it long, it’s important not to trim too high up into the

meets the requirement to have the signatures of at least 597 registered voters who live in the city of Englewood.” If the signatures on a set of ballot issue petitions are found to meet the requirement, the city clerk’s office notifies the city council of the sufficiency. The city council has the option to pass an ordinance using wording of an initiative to make it law, or alternatively, the council can vote to approve placing the issue on the November ballot. If the council approves placing issues on the November ballot, the process must be completed by Sept. 9, the deadline to have issues placed on the ballot.

Maris smiled and said she is a big girl now because she used to be in preschool and now she is starting kindergarten. Englewood resident Luce Santiago wiped tears from her eyes as she walked to her car. “I just dropped off my granddaughter for her first day of kindergarten,” she said. “She is so excited. I am too, but I am sad because the house will be so quiet while she is in school.” The vehicle traffic was heavy around The Englewood Campus as high school, middle school and Englewood Leadership Academy students began arriving for their first day of class. Ryan West, principal of all three schools, said activities for the first day of school include gathering the more than 1,000 students in the field house. “We will have some fun and some class competitions,” he said. “I feel this is the kickoff of a great school year.” Some students who ride the bus to school had a surprise as Superintendent Wendy Rubin was on the bus with them. “I was excited to ride one of our buses on the first day of school,” Rubin said. “I didn’t introduce myself, I just moved around and talked with the kids on the bus. It was fun listening to them talk about being ready to come back to school.” Rubin said she visited each school in the district later in the day and had several children say she rode the bus with them that morning.

Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce expands car show Organizers expect about 100 entries in Kaiser lot By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce expanded this year’s car show by extending an invitation to owners of motorcycles and trucks to take part in the event. All the entries will be on display in the Kaiser Permanente parking lot at Cornell Avenue and Acoma Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 20.

exact location of our school. We have a site we prefer and are still working out the details of how to convert the building into a home for our school.
The entry fee to be part of the show is $10 per vehicle. There is no charge for spectators to attend, and organizers plan to add some activities for children, including face painting and inflatables. A variety of agencies, including the newly formed United Service Club of Englewood, will have information booths at the event. The chamber also is supporting Casa Unida Foundation’s effort to collect gently used baseball equipment that will be donated to schools in northern Nicaragua. “We had 90 cars at our first event last year and we had owners of trucks and motorcycles suggest we open the event to
them, too, so we did,” said Randy Penn, chamber director, adding that there are three categories for cars and two each for motorcycles and trucks. “Prizes will be awarded for the top three winners in each class.” Car categories are the nostalgic entries which are pre-1940 vehicles, classic cars made from 1940 to 1979 and modern cars made since 1980. The two classes for motorcycles and trucks are the classic vehicles made before 1980 and the modern vehicles made after 1980. The vote of spectators will determine the category winners as well as determining the winner of the grand prize for the
Best of Show. There were about 90 entries at last year’s car show. Last year’s entries included race cars, hot rods and customized cars that ranged from a 1930 Ford to a 2015 Dodge Challenger. Ed Weber’s 1934 Ford Coupe won first in the pre-1959 classic category, the 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix owned by Herman Lewis won first in the 1960s-’70s class and Geraldo Pound’s 2015 Dodge Challenger was awarded the first-place trophy in the 1980 and newer category. All visitors were asked to vote for a best in show, and that trophy went to the 1941 Willys Coupe owned by Dave Marsh.
However, we can’t release the address until we have the site under contract, but I want everyone to know it is a location in the city of Englewood.” The school plans to begin operation with 400 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Expectations are that one grade will be added per year until the academy has classes for 600 students in kindergarten through eighth
grade. The school will use the Core Knowledge curriculum and students will not pay tuition to attend the academy. Students will be required to wear uniforms and free breakfast will be offered prior to the start of each school day. The academy will be independent and will not be a part of the Englewood
School District. However, plans are to closely follow the same schedule as Englewood’s elementary schools. Those interested in signing up students to attend the academy can go the website at www.tricityacademy.org, click on the letter of intent tab and fill out the form. Also, those interested can e-mail the school at TriCityAcademyCO@gmail.org.

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”
Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer
Denver- Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain? Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake. Sounds crazy? Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life. When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again. Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state? Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy.
And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in theory exercising should help knee arthritis. But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs. Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes. Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out. You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either. What’s the answer? In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary. With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated. The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis. But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid
Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.
directly into your knee joint. This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many experts believe it helps lubricate the joint. Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain. And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with
less or no pain - specific exercises can be a tremendous help. That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain. This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results. So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse - you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse. And that’s the last thing you want to do. What are the two “smart moves?” If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic. If you are thinking about
giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technology such as fluoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections. Research shows that without fluoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work. If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 720-500-1045.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver
After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go. If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now. Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief. Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program. The SecretTo Success? The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy. Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating. This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment. And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed. What Is This Treatment? This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this... When you have knee arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.
This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most
Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”
Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of holistic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors. How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-
swered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief
Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours. If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain? So call 720-500-1045 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community. And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 720-500-1045.
If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

‘The Big Bang’ is world of fun
High-speed journey through global history offers laughs
IF YOU GO “The Big Bang” is extended at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 19 and 20 and 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 20 and 21 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Tickets cost $24 to $30. Check on availability in advance of showing up at the theater: vintagetheatre.com or 303-856-7830.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Vintage Theatre has announced a four-performance extension this weekend for the popular “The Big Bang,” so if readers are in the mood for something silly, check to see if there are any tickets available. Well-done silliness is a good thing! And this production is fast-moving and clever. The time is now. The scene is the well-furnished apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Lipbalm. The project: Obtain backers for Jed and Boyd’s proposed musical, “The Big Bang,” projected to run 12 hours (in three four-hour intervals) and cost $83 million — it will tell the entire history of the world! “An enormous opportunity,” the pair assures the audience! The pair of entrepreneurs (Ben Hilzer is Boyd and Joe Von Bokern is Jed — accompanied by the talented Blake Nawa’a on piano, Albert) begin, minus any costume at all, behind a pair of concealing boxes — playing, of course, Adam and Eve. Props include that apple and a wacky serpent and the script includes a pass at the “begots.”
Egyptians, Greeks and Romans follow, then Columbus and Queen Isabel, as he pitches a voyage to the New World. In each segment, they manage to use apartment furnishings as costumes, including several well-chosen lampshades. (One immediately suggests the bust of Queen Nefertiti that has been pictured so often.) Act II begins with a scene in Henry VIII’s kitchen, where our guides recite the menu. (He was a big eater!) The cleverly written script and catchy score continue to 1595 and the Manhattan Indians plus Minnehaha and Pocahontas. (Don’t even try for accuracy! Just chuckle at these inventive actors.) A vertically challenged Napoleon crowned with a particularly silly headdress woos soon-to be Empress Josephine … and we visit Eva Braun in World War II Berlin and then Woodstock a few years later …
Ben Hilzer plays Queen Nefertiti and Joe Von Bokern is a servant in the Egyptian segment of “The Big Bang,” which is a history of the world since the beginning, extended a week at Vintage Theatre due to popular demand. (Through Aug 21.) Courtesy photo

Additionally, the recent tragic loss of Cal-Ore Life Flight on July 29 is being recognized. In support of their Air Ambulance community, AirLife Denver will coordinate with the West Metro FD to land an aircraft at the site prior to the volunteers’ placement of the lights.

Iraq: 25 Years Later Twenty-five years ago, the United States began Operation Desert Storm in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Twelve years later, the second Gulf War led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and toppled the government of Saddam Hussein. Today, Iraq is still attempting to maintain itself as a stable, self-governing nation. This task has become more difficult as the Sunni extremist group ISIS has mounted a serious military offensive against the Shia led government of Iraq. The regional roots and implications of this conflict are extensive and potentially disastrous to stability in this part of the world. Join Active Minds from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, as we examine the past, present, and potential future of this volatile area in crisis. Program takes place at Charter Financial Resources Memory Lane, 9335 Commerce Center St., B5, Highlands Ranch. Call 303-468-2820 to RSVP.

Global Pandemics Concern over the recent spread of the mosquito-borne Zika virus has alarmed health officials throughout the world. While Zika itself is rarely a serious illness, the World Health Organization is studying whether the virus is causing an increase in serious birth defects and a rare neurological disease. The outbreak is focused in Central and South America, raising additional concerns about the summer Olympics in Brazil. Join Active Minds from 10-11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 26, as we seek to understand the threats by examining both the science of how diseases spread as well as the history of pandemics.

Tall or small, talented setters a hit While there’s a movement toward finding girls with more height, it’s the skill that sets the pace By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com There has been a trend in girls high school volleyball toward having taller players as setters. Setters in volleyball are like the quarterback in football or the point guard in basketball. They run the offense and determine which of the attackers should be set for a hit. It used to be that smaller, OUTLOOK quicker girls fit into the role Volleyball teams of a setter, but play for a little more coaches are now than nine weeks in looking for taller an attempt to qualify athletes who are for the regionals in all fast, quick and classes, which must be can beat the ball completed by Nov. 5. to the necesThe all-class sary spot on the state tournament is court to set up scheduled for Nov. 11 teammates. and 12 at the Denver And taller Coliseum. setters are able to more effectively attack on the front line. “In the perfect world, I would have a tall, left-handed setter,” Arapahoe coach Jordan Emily Wright said. “Since I cannot recruit at the high school level, I would take a setter that is difficult to read and smart on the court any day.” Jasmine Schmidt, a senior who plays at Chaparral, is what could be termed a perfect setter. She is 6 feet 1 and is lefthanded. “It helps to be taller, especially if you are running your offense from the front row just to have a bigger person up front,” Schmidt said. “When you’re taller, you can reach the ball at a high contact point.

Taking control can turn the tide Players who consistently seize possession give teams their best shot By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com An exceptional striker, solid midfielder, steady defender and a good keeper are important for any successful boys soccer team. But the most valuable player is often the athlete who consistently wins or controls 50/50 balls, which allows his team to keep possession and many times, helps his team score goals and play good defense. A 50/50 ball is one in which two players from opposing teams approach a loose ball either on the ground or in the air, with both having an equal chance of getting the ball. A first touch is when a player makes first contact with the ball and tries to control it. “Winning 50/50s is a premier quality of every winning team,” Valor Christian coach Brian Schulz said. “From scoring off 50/50 set plays to winning balls in the run of play to caring if you win even a 50/50 throw-in, it says something about your desire to achieve, win, compete

Young Pirates open softball play Aug. 19 Low player turnout has JV team in jeopardy
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Coach Dave Chapman expects to rely heavily on veteran leadership when the young Englewood High School softball travels to Aurora to play Hinkey in the Aug. 19 season opener. “We graduated a lot of seniors in June but the good news is we have some returning letter winners as a foundation for our team this season,” the coach said. “One concern is the small turnout. Right now we only have 12 girls signed up for our team. If we don’t get some more players, it means we won’t have a junior varsity team this season.” He said the ideal situation is to have 20 to 24 players on the roster. “This is the lowest turnout I have seen in my 22 years coaching the team,” Chapman said. “The fact we didn’t have a summer team this year isn’t in our favor. Hopefully, we will get more girls out for the team when we start practice.” The team officially began practice Aug. 15. The coach said veterans expected to return include Molly Ostrowski, who played a variety of positions last season, as well as outfielders Jena Korinek and Karin Bader. St. Mary’s Academy doesn’t have a softball team so pitcher Maggy Swank and first baseman Anna Bitcocke return to play for the Pirates. This will be the fourth season Korinek has played softball for the Pirates. “I am eager and excited for the season to start,” the senior, who also plays softball, said. “I think I am a better player now than I was at the start of the season last year because I wanted to help our team win games. I have worked my skills and I

The Pirates open the season Aug. 19 on the road against Hinkley High School. Photo by Tom Munds feel will be a better hitter and a better outfielder this season.” She likes playing in the outfield. She said at her position she sees the whole field and also she is better at catching fly balls than she is at fielding grounders.
Englewood played in 4A competition last year, but the school enrollment moved them to 3A this season. The Pirates remain in the Colorado 7 League that is a mix of 3A and 4A schools. The league realignment moved Elizabeth
and Fort Morgan out of the Colorado 7 league and replaced them with Arvada and Conifer. Remaining league members, including Englewood, are Fort Lupton, Skyview and Weld County.

a corner kick over the goal in the 45th minute of the 2-2 tie with Colombia on Aug. 9. Horan scored the first USA penalty shot goal in the shootout against Sweden following a 1-1 tie Aug. 12.
Rio update: Nursing an injured ankle, she replaced Megan Rapinoe in the 33rd minute and scored the second goal for the U.S. in the 45th minute of the 2-2 tie against Colombia Aug. 9. Pugh became the youngest player to score an Olympic goal for the United States. In the Aug. 12 quarterfinal match, she was helped off the field with an apparent ankle injury in the 114th minute of the match that ended in a 1-1 tie. Sweden, however, eliminated the Americans 4-3 in a penalty kick shootout.

especially when you are in the front row, you can attack the ball on the second contact without having the ball cross over your body,” said Schmidt, who is committed to play next season at Palm Beach Atlantic University. “It’s a lot more comfortable and faster for me to swing on second contact because the ball doesn’t have to cross to the right side on my body so it is faster and more natural. “Also if there is a stop jump to the middle of the floor, most setters kind of do that with their left hand, and your left hand is naturally stronger, so you don’t have to worry about missing it or tipping it to the wrong spot because you have more control and power.” Lauren Lowry, a junior at Castle View, also fits Wright’s model as a good — though not tall — setter because she is smart and deceptive.
Rio update: After scoring three goals in Canada’s first two wins, she was rested in a 2-1 win over Germany in the third game Aug. 9. She assisted on Canada’s lone goal in a 1-0 quarterfinal win over France on Aug. 12. Canada was scheduled to play Germany in the Aug. 16 semi-final match. Ben Pinkelman About Pinkelman: U.S. men’s rugby team, 2012 Cherry Creek High School graduate, Centennial resident, 22 years old.
“Coaches want taller setters to compete with the taller hitters, but in my opinion I don’t think that necessarily matters,” Lowry said. “I’m like 5-foot-6, which is small for a setter. I feel like the most important thing is if you set your hitters and score points doing that.” It takes familiarity with the game and teammates to be a valuable setter, particularly amid chaotic rallies. “As a setter, you are involved every single play,” Lowry said. “The goal is to run a fast offense, to get your hitters in a one-on-one situation so they have more area to hit the ball, and I guess setting up your hitters so they have a chance to score points for the team. You definitely have to know your players. “In general, being a shorter setter, it’s better to run a faster offense to keep the ball along the net more rather than shooting it up high. That gives the other team less time to go block and gives your hitters more time. You have to run the plays and tell your hitters what you are running on every single play.”
Rio update: He was in the lineup and played well for the U.S., which was eliminated from medal rounds Aug. 10 with a 24-19 loss to Fiji. In the first two matches held on Aug. 9, the U.S. lost 17-14 to Argentina and beat Brazil, 26-0. The U.S. beat Brazil 24-12 in a placing semifinal and captured ninth place on Aug. 11 with a 24-12 victory over Spain. Missy Franklin About Franklin: U.S. women’s swimming team, 2013 Regis Jesuit graduate, Centennial resident, 21 years old Rio update: She didn’t qualify for the 200-meter finals Aug. 9 but swam in the prelims on the 4x200 meter relay team. She wasn’t in the lineup for finals but earned a gold medal when the American team won Aug. 10. It was her fifth gold medal after winning four golds and one bronze in the 2012 Olympics. She was 14th in the Aug. 11 semifinals of the 200-meter backstroke, an event in which she holds the world record, and didn’t qualify for the finals.

Keeping control of 50/50 balls can be tough. “For me, I kind of have to spot where I think the ball is going to go and get there before anybody else to the spot, and from there I kind of have to get physical a little bit to make sure I’m in a better position...” Reisler said. “I have to physically go get the ball. I have to have that will to get the ball.
“If I know I can’t get to it, I try to position myself at the best possible position to receive the second ball where it is going to rebound out to.” Reisler’s teammate, senior Shayan Mehrani, said players need to mix it up and not get pushed away from the 50/50 balls. “I just use my body,” Mehrani said. “I just go in just being strong and not backing away from the ball, using your arms and obviously not playing dirty. With a 50/50 it is not that hard not to foul as long as you are not tugging a jersey or holding onto someone’s shoulder and just jump straight up on air balls and use your body.”

of vitamin C, it’s a good source of folate, especially important for women of childbearing age, as well as potassium, a vital mineral which helps nerves and muscles communicate and can help offset the effects of too much sodium in the diet. In fact, the FDA recently announced it will add potassium to the Nutrition Facts Panel because many Americans are falling short. The benefits don’t stop there, though. A glass of 100 percent orange juice also delivers magnesium, vitamin A and niacin. Plus, it’s a significant source of hesperidin, an antioxidant that research suggests may have heart, blood pressure and cognition benefits, as well as reduce inflammation and oxidation. Furthermore, one glass counts as one serving (1 cup) of fruit to help you meet the 1.5-2 cups per day recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

ugars are one of the most important health conversations today. A diet filled with too many added sugars is associated with weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. According to the 2005-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the average American consumes an average of 20 teaspoons a day, significantly more than the 6-9 teaspoons recommended daily by the American Heart Association. Sugar can mean different things to different people, which not only adds to the confusion, but can quickly derail even your best intentions as you try to make the right choices for your family. The difference between added and naturally occurring sugars Many nourishing foods such as fruits, vegetables, certain whole grains and dairy products contain what are known as naturally occurring sugars; these are simple carbohydrates that are naturally present in a food’s biological structure. For example, the lactose found in milk is a sugar, as is the fructose in fruit. In contrast, added sugars are those sugars or sweeteners you add in your kitchen - adding sugar or honey to a recipe or onto your breakfast cereal, for example - as well as sugars and sweeteners that are added to a variety of products by food manufacturers. Added sugars are often used to enhance taste and flavor, of course, but can also be included for other reasons, such as to prevent spoiling - think summer jams - or assist in fermentation, such as in baking. “Working with the Florida Department of Citrus, I’ve seen firsthand how much confusion there is around this
in 1/3 cup orange juice; stir well to evenly coat oatmeal mixture. Repeat twice more, stirring after each addition of orange juice. In small bowl, combine oil, honey and vanilla; stir well to combine. Drizzle oil mixture over oatmeal mixture; stir well to coat oatmeal mixture. Spread oatmeal mixture on prepared baking sheet in even layer. Bake 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, to evenly brown granola. Remove from oven, add cranberries and cool completely. Store in airtight container up to one week. Serving suggestion: For a morning parfait, serve homemade orange granola with milk or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Add in sliced fruit for extra color.

Cook until orange juice is reduced by two-thirds; add tomato juice and cooked turkey. Cook until tomato juice has reduced by two-thirds then add diced baked sweet potato and stir until combined. Split dinner rolls in half; spoon turkey mixture in center. Serve immediately. most nutrient-rich packages, delivering a bevy of benefits such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more.” An 8-ounce glass of 100 percent orange juice, for instance, has no added sugar. Beyond being an excellent source
How much added sugar is too much? A delicious, vibrant eating plan that you can stick with for the long haul doesn’t mean you can’t ever consume added sugar, but it is about cutting back for most Americans - especially for groups with the highest intakes, such as adolescents and men - and replacing those calories with nutrient-rich foods. The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting added sugar intake to a maximum of 10 percent of total calories each day, or 200 calories of a 2,000 calorie diet, which matches guidelines from the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association. For best results, focus on filling your diet with an abundance of naturally nutrient-rich foods and shift to a diet that includes plenty of plant foods.
