Adults and children dressed as critters and creatures of all kinds filled the Englewood Recreation Center gymnasium during the Oct. 21 Halloween Carnival. Center staff fit right in as they too wore costumes for the city-
sponsored event that has been held in late October each year for more than 25 years. Large crowds are the norm and staff member Jeff Jones said he thought the crowd was bigger this year than it was last year. The walls of the gym were lined with game booths where carnival goers could try to toss a bean bag into a target or hit a puck into the
net. Win or lose, the participant got some goodies for the effort. In one area, a line of parents watched as their children climbed over the barriers so they could hit the slide as they completed the inflatable obstacle course. Those attending the carnival
At an unlikely stage for politics — Moe’s Original Bar B Que on South Broadway — two candidates for the Englewood municipal judge seat and two District 4 candidates for Englewood City Council weighed in on issues like the 2018 budget, Englewood’s biogas repurposing proposal and the approach a judge should take in municipal court. District 4 challenger Dave Cuesta and incumbent Councilmember Rick Gillit had at times testy exchanges about whether the 2018 budget is balanced at the Oct. 17 event. Budget balanced? “I would say no,” said Cuesta, referencing whether the 2018 budget proposal is balanced and saying it shows roughly a shortfall of $372,000 between uses of funds and sources of funds. “Now, you’ll hear other people tell you (it is).”

Fashionable mom learning the joy in the little things I went to school at the University of Northern Colorado and got a journalism degree. I did an internship at Elle magazine in New York. I loved it, but I realized that wasn’t the life for me. I loved everything about working in that industry, but to be honest, even the editors made no money. I couldn’t live in New York on that kind of budget. To be away from my family in Colorado wasn’t worth it. I moved to San Diego, because I wanted another adventure. I figured I’d try out the other coast. I met my husband there and convinced him to move back here. He’s an orthopedic salesman. He sells knees and hips. Mommy knows best Being a mom is a lot more work than I thought it would be. I started an interior design business. That kept me busy for a year and a half, and I thought I’d get back to that after I had my baby, but I didn’t know how timeconsuming it would be. I don’t know how moms who work full time do it. All of my time is con-
sumed by my baby. I’m a very creative person, and I feared I’d lose my creative self in being a mom, and this sounds silly, but Instagram is my creative outlet now. I make a small amount of money doing that, but it’s enough to keep me busy. My handle is my name: cassidiebasso. It’s about finding the joy in the everyday, mundane tasks of being a mom — going to the grocery store or the park. Doing things with moms of other young babies, and discovering a world I didn’t know existed. Simple things I’m learning so much — I used to be somebody who wanted to be known, to live on the east coast and work for a fashion magazine. But that’s not where you find joy. You find it in the little things: raising a little human has taught me so much more about how to enjoy life than I could have ever imagined.

While the 2017-18 influenza season officially began Oct. 1, 27 cases of hospitalized influenza had already been reported to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30. That is more than double the typical number of cases for this time of year. During the first official week of flu season, from Oct. 1-7, six hospitalizations were reported. Last year, the first report of hospitalized flu patients did not start until Oct. 24 and peaked in mid-March. The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Trivalent vaccines are made to protect against three flu viruses — two influenza A (H1N1 and H3N2) viruses, and an influenza B virus. Quadrivalent vaccines protect against four viruses; the same viruses as the trivalent vaccine, plus an additional B virus. “Each year the seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season,” said Alice Hughes, infection prevention manager at St. Anthony Hospital. “That’s why we encourage everyone in our community to get an annual flu shot for their health.” A person develops antibodies approximately two weeks after vaccination and these antibodies provide protection against infection from viruses that are the same as or similar to those used to make the vaccine, Hughes said. Flu vaccines cannot cause the flu, because the vaccines are made with either killed or weakened viruses. They are safe, and serious problems

People with flu can spread it to others via by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are up to about 6 feet away or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Less often, a person might get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth or nose. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to 5-7 days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer. Symptoms start 1-4 days after the virus enters the body. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, and while you are sick. Some persons can be infected with the flu virus but have no symptoms. During this time, those persons may still spread the virus to others. Some people, such as older adults, pregnant women, and very young children, as well as people with certain long-term medical conditions are at high risk of serious complications from the flu. These medical conditions include chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, heart disease, neurologic conditions and pregnancy.

Littleton City Council voted 6-1 to merge the city’s fire dispatch services with South Metro Fire Rescue, ending months of wrangling. Councilmember Doug Clark remained steadfast in his opposition Oct. 17, having cast votes against the proposal at every step. The city initially shot down the proposal in June, only to have the city’s fire partners — outside districts that contract with Littleton for fire protection — demand mediation to reconsider the proposal. If not, they said, they would terminate their contracts with Littleton on Nov. 1. The city’s fire partners — the Highlands Ranch Metro District and the Littleton Fire Protection District, which includes west Centennial, among other areas — said merging Littleton’s city-maintained dispatched services with South Metro, a larger consolidated district covering a vast swath of the southeast metro area, would result in lower costs and better service. Under South Metro’s proposal, dispatched calls would be billed at $58.46 per call, about $25
Come Jan. 1, the dispatcher on the other end of this Littleton Fire Rescue radio will be at South Metro Fire Rescue’s headquarters. DAVID GILBERT less per call than Littleton currently charges, resulting in a savings of about $400,000 per year for the city. South Metro would also provide better conditions to dispatchers, the partners say, with an economy of scale that they say would allow for faster dispatch and more relief time for dispatchers on duty. The city and the fire partners

met with mediator John Hayes in September, who recommended that the city go ahead with the dispatch merger, but said the partners should pay South Metro directly for dispatch services, rather than using Littleton as a middleman for dispatch fees. This has the benefit of reducing revenue that would push against the city’s TABOR cap, said city attorney Steve Kemp. The merger also has the benefit of reducing the city’s liability, Kemp said. If the merger didn’t go through, he said, a caller could potentially sue the city if injuries were exacerbated by delayed response time. “We would put on a defense,” Kemp said. “We would call dispatch experts from across the United States to work with the city. I’ve used professional experts like this. I’ve also paid them $50,000 to $100,000 just to show up.” Clark has expressed his opposition to the plan many times. He called the move premature while the city worked with consultants to explore the possibility of a wholesale merger of the fire department with another agency, likely South Metro — an idea supported by the firefighters union. Clark called the partners’ demand for mediation an ultimatum designed to force the city’s hand. “We are being forced into the first step of a merger with South Metro,” Clark said. “Being forced into a decision by the partners we provide service to, immediately before an election with a new council, I don’t think is representing the interests of the citizens of Littleton.” Other councilmembers were vigorous in their defense of the idea. “This is not the first step of a merger,” District 1 Councilmember Bill Hopping said. “We can address things independently.” Hopping said South Metro’s proposal made more sense than contracting with any other area agency because they use compatible software with SEE DISPATCH, P5

Littleton’s system and share a large border with Littleton’s service area. Hopping also pointed to South Metro’s larger staff and high accreditation rating, and the potential for savings as boons. Hopping also fired back after Councilmember Peggy Cole asked if voting on the measure could be postponed until the new council was sworn in after the election. “To pass this off to a new council is a cheap political trick,” Hopping said. “We’ve worked to get everything possible to learn everything we can about this. You’re not going to get a group of people who have spent more time, energy and — I sparingly use the word intellect when I’m in the group — trying to understand the issues on both sides.” Councilmember Debbie Brinkman, who is the fire department’s liaison to council, had a list of reasons she supported the proposal: the savings to the city in a time of budget concerns, the reduced liability and the higher standards of South Metro among them. The fire partners were not trying to strongarm Littleton into a merger, Brinkman said. “It’s not fair to accuse them of throwing down threats and trying to force us into decisions,” Brinkman said. “They’re representing their communities. They’re conscientious of their fiduciary and

safety responsibilities.” Mayor Bruce Beckman voted for the proposal, but not without criticism for how the process was handled. Specifically, Beckman took umbrage at a revelation that came during a public hearing in June, when a dispatcher told council that Littleton Fire Rescue’s Chief Chris Armstrong had halted hiring new dispatchers in January in order to hold the staff at a size that could be absorbed by South Metro if the merger went through. Beckman said the council had approved staffing levels last year that were not being met. “It was really devastating to find out things like we believed we had approved a budget and approved staffing, and we found out months into it that a decision had been made independently not to do what we agreed,” Beckman said. “It hurt the whole thing. I assume I’m being treated fairly and honestly, and to find out that perhaps there’s some other information, very troubling. I couldn’t vote yes unless I had factual information.” Beckman, who said he worked on accreditation programs for the city’s police department during his tenure there, said the issue had begun to run on emotion. “One of those criticisms I’m so disappointed in is, if you don’t vote for this, you’re not interested in public safety,” Beckman said. “Nothing could be further from the truth. This is a policy board, and we have to figure out what’s appropriate for the community, and how we provide that and staff and resource it.”

Teaching students how to cope socially, emotionally Such skills are needed to succeed in rapidly changing world, area educators say BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Eighth-grader Morgan Fritzler is working to improve her self-awareness. “Sometimes, I have anxiety and perfectionist issues and I expect myself to get everything on the first try,” Fritzler, 12, said. “It makes me feel frustrated.” But through a program at her school that focuses on social and emotional learning, she is learning how to calm herself down when she gets upset, how to be persistent and not give up, and a variety of other coping mechanisms that teach resilience and, ultimately, success in everyday decision-making. “It was helpful,” she said of the Brain Wise program taught at Arvada’s Manning Middle School in Jefferson County. Now, when she’s struggling, she takes a break rather than continue in frustration, specifically when it comes to math homework. Brain Wise is one of a multitude of programs beginning to proliferate throughout Denver metro school districts that teach social and emotional learning — or SEL — skills. Sometimes known as behavioral or noncognitive skills, educators and mental health experts, along with a growing number of research studies, say they are essential to successfully navigating not only education, but also career and life. The keys to success The national Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning describes SEL as the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. “We want all students to be equipped with the tools and skills to navigate and thrive in our rapidly changing world,” said Priscilla Straughn, chief academic officer for Adams 12 Five Star District. “Through social emotional learning, students develop an awareness of and the ability to manage their emotions, in order to set and achieve important personal and academic goals.” Some of these, Straughn said, include the use of social awareness and interpersonal skills to establish and maintain positive relationships, and the ability to form, articulate and demonstrate a positive and productive decision-making process that supports students in achieving school and life success. According to a 2011 meta-analysis published by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, those who participated in evidence-based SEL programs showed an 11 percentile-point gain in academic achievement compared to students who did not participate in SEL

WHY IS SEL IMPORTANT? A recently released research report from ACT, a mission-driven nonprofit organization that assesses and creates solutions for K-12 education, college and career readiness, confirmed the importance of social and emotional learning skills. The 2017 Importance of Behavioral Skills and Navigation Factors for Education and Work reported that both education and workforce professionals believe these skills are critical for lifelong success. The study examined survey responses from school teachers, college instructors and workforce supervisors across the nation regarding the importance of social and emotional learning skills. Key findings included: • Behavioral skills are rated important in preparing students for college and workprograms. They also showed improved classroom behavior, an increased ability to manage stress and depression, and better attitudes about themselves, others and school. Social emotional learning focuses on five core competencies: self management, self awareness, social awareness, responsible decision-making and relationship skills. “Those are the things that we’re trying to teach kids so they’re successful at school, home and beyond,” said Erin Sullivan, social emotional learning coordinator for Jefferson County Schools. “I always think of them as the skills you need to have to access education better.” They are also the skills that employers want. “A lot of cognitive things become automated, so you need the people skills,” said Rich Roberts, chief scientist at ACT, a nationwide mission-driven nonprofit organization
place success by more than 80 percent of K-12 teachers, postsecondary instructors and workforce supervisors. • Behavioral skills are interpersonal, selfregulatory and task-related behaviors such as acting honestly, getting along with others, keeping an open mind, maintaining composure, socializing with others and sustaining efforts. • Navigation factors are viewed as important by nine in 10 K-12 teachers and by about two-thirds of postsecondary instructors and workforce supervisors. (Navigation factors are defined as personal characteristics, processes and knowledge that influence people as they journey along their education and career paths, including self-knowledge, environmental factors, integration and managing career and education actions.) that assesses K-12 education, which researched SEL. “SELs are becoming more valued in the workplace and therefore it’s something we should care about in the school system.” Recently, ACT announced the launch of the ACT Tessera, a next-generation assessment system designed to measure SEL skills. The new system will provide assessments for middle and high school students (grades 6-12), as well as actionable lesson plans for teachers looking to integrate SEL into their classrooms. “In education, we’ve been concentrating for a long time on cognitive assessment, but with the changing nature of the workforce, things like working well with others, being a good team player and being able to cope with stress — these are good things to learn,” Roberts said. “We live in a world of modern stresses so, to me, it’s not rocket science, it just makes sense.”
What districts are doing Denver metro area school districts are taking different approaches. In Adams 12, each school determines which programs to offer based on what would be most effective in that specific school. Some of those programs include Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, Second Step, Journey to a Hate Free Millennium, Signs of Suicide, Random Acts of Kindness, Peace4Kids, Superflex and Zones of Regulation, to name a few. Although they may differ in content, they all share a goal of creating better people. “We’ve found this approach positively impacts a students’ readiness to learn, classroom behavior and overall academic performance,” Straughn said. In Douglas County, teachers try to reach students in all classrooms, not with a specific curriculum, but by creating a welcoming culture at each school. “The key to it all is having connectedness to adults,” said Stephanie Crawford-Goetz, mental health coordinator for the Douglas County School District. The district holds professional developments for teachers on how to create safe and healthy classrooms. CrawfordGoetz said this can look like counselors going into classrooms and partnering with parents or teachers modeling for students how to have good relationship skills and make good decisions. “It’s not something that we do, it’s something that we are,” CrawfordGoetz said. “We want to empower our students to be as successful as can be, so it’s looking at the students as more than just academic achievement. It’s looking at the whole child.” Douglas County also works more closely with identified at-risk students who are showing difficulty using SEL skills. Crawford-Goetz said those students will often work on specific skills in groups. Some receive individualized counseling. SEE COPE, P23

Nobody’s laughing off head injuries these days Concussions among student athletes treated with scrutiny and patience
FOLLOWING PROTOCOL The “return-to-learn” and “return-to-play” protocols employed by the Colorado High School Activities Association are credited with reducing the severity of brain injuries from concussions among high school athletes. Here are some of the guidelines: Return to learn Most students with concussions should stay home for one to three days after the injury. If symptoms are severe, the student athlete should be on bed rest and avoid texting, video games, computers, TV and homework. When symptoms are tolerable, manageable and intermittent for 30 to 45 minutes, the student athlete can be back at school with support from the school. The school should help the student understand that limiting academic and extracurricular activities for one to four weeks is necessary for good concussion recovery. Coaches, guidance counselors, school nurses, administrators and other staff should all communicate to ensure the best outcome for the injured student athlete.

Piper Reasoner smiles as she asks a series of questions to a student in the training room at Legend High School. “What is your name?” “Are you nauseous?” “Am I in focus right now?” Minutes earlier the boy, 17, was elbowed in the head during basketball practice. A friend walked him to see Reasoner, Legend’s head athletic trainer. Dr. Kathy Vidlock, volunteer physician for Legend’s football team, marks a clipboard after each of his responses. The boy correctly repeats a series of three numbers back to Reasoner, but he can’t do the same when she gives him four digits to recall. She then guides him through a series of physical assessments, not unlike a roadside sobriety test. The boy manages to stand with his eyes closed, touch his nose and maintain his balance. Reasoner sends him back to class, but not practice. She rates his concussion below a 1 on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe. Nonetheless, she will check in with him almost daily for a couple of weeks. The slow, careful examination and follow-through highlights the caution that concussions are now treated with in Colorado schools. After years of studies and stories about concussions and professional athletes, a thoughtful and careful approach to the condition is now in place for school staff, athletics administrators, parents and students. “They’re usually 10 percent of the injuries we deal with,” Reasoner said, “but they take 90 percent of our time.” ‘I got scared’ One of the students Reasoner has spent a lot of time with is Grayson Engel, 17. Now a junior at Legend, Grayson suffered a concussion as a freshman playing on Legend’s football and rugby teams.
CONCUSSIONS: FACT VS. FICTION As ongoing research shows the seriousness of concussions, many long-held notions about the condition are being dispelled.

In addition, several low impact blows may be more dangerous than a single collision of great force. • Male athletes sustain more concussions than females.

Return to play An athlete should be symptom-free before being allowed to start the graduated return to play. This means an athlete must be functioning at 100 percent of pre-concussion levels academically and at home before returning to athletic activity. School staff, coaches, guidance counselors, administrators should maintain communication and work closely with parents to monitor the student athlete’s progress. All athletes should be put through a progressive and graduated return to play protocol, beginning with light exercise and working their way back to full participation. Returning an athlete who is still symptomatic to physical play increases the risk of “Second Impact Syndrome,” in which an athlete is still symptomatic from a concussion and sustains a second impact that can result in serious brain damage or death.

This makes it easier to suffer subsequent concussions, especially if a player suffers another concussion before fully recovering from a previous one. • Concussions should be treated and managed on an individual basis.

not performing up to that level, as well as when the student has fully recovered and is back to normal following a concussion. • Whenever a student is suspected of having a concussion, it should be treated as one until proven otherwise. Symptoms can vary and aren’t always immediately apparent. If an athlete sustains a blow that looks like it may have caused a concussion, it should be assumed that the he or she has one.

Gillit used an analogy about personal savings to illustrate his argument that the budget is balanced based on money left over from previous years. “We put that money aside,” said Gillit, the mayor pro tem, to the audience. “As you would if you were going on vacation, you would transfer that money from savings to checking.” Gillit said Englewood’s budget must be balanced by law, and Cuesta claimed that saying the budget is balanced by itself is “just not true.” An Englewood resolution dated March 21, 2016, said the city is legally required to balance its budget under the city’s charter and under state law and that the balancing takes into account any surplus of funds the city may have. The budget was passed Oct. 16 over “no” votes by councilmembers Rita Russell and Laurett Barrentine. Biogas plan — safe or risky? On the question of Englewood’s proposed project with Littleton to repurpose biogas fuel from their wastewater treatment plant to sell for a profit — a goal Gillit has voted to explore — Cuesta said he’s skeptical. “The project essentially banks on the energy market,” Cuesta said. “Little old Englewood putting $8 million into the market and hoping it works out.” The $8 million figure is one possible amount for construction of the most expensive option, a cost proposed to be split with Littleton. Cuesta argued that the federal Environmental Protection Agency is cutting a lot of renewable energy credits that oil companies buy. But
Reuters reported Oct. 20 that the EPA decided not to change policy on the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard, the program that requires refineries to blend ethanol and other biofuels into the nation’s fuel supply or buy credits from those who do. The program currently extends until 2022. Englewood bases one possible option of biogas recovery on the continuance of the Renewable Fuel Standard program, which would enable the city to gain revenue from the program’s credits. Cuesta said the program is too risky and claimed it would raise costs on Englewood citizens. “Council has not decided on how we’re gonna fund this,” Gillit said. “There has been no decision on that. The vote last night (at the Oct. 16 city council meeting) was to move this forward to get more information” on how to fund the project. The options for funding the project — possibly bringing in a third-party private company to absorb some financial risk — may not be decided for months. Marijuana regulation The final question asked how recreational marijuana should be regulated in the city. “I propose it should regulate retail marijuana the way it does now: tightly,” said Cuesta, the chief compliance officer for marijuana dispensary Native Roots. He noted that Englewood citizens voted to legalize recreational marijuana shops in the city in 2016 and said it would bring in hundreds of thousands in revenue for the city. Gillit disputed the amount of revenue recreational marijuana sales could bring in, saying there’s been no official estimate on that. He implied Cuesta supported the measure

because of his position in the marijuana industry. “I work with this company to audit them tirelessly, endlessly,” said Cuesta, who was once a criminal investigator for the Marijuana Enforcement Division of the Colorado Department of Revenue. Judge candidates weigh in Municipal judge candidate Joe Jefferson, the current mayor, said Englewood has the only publicly elected municipal judge seat in Colorado, and there are three candidates in the race. One of his opponents, Angela Schmitz — third candidate Clifton Hypsher was not there — said the Legislature, not the court, is the place to go on the question of whether police should ask people about their immigration status. “I generally view this question as a policy question,” Jefferson agreed. “Our current (police department) is not asking for immigration status when making traffic stops.” Question about police On the question of what the judge should do if the city finds evidence of discriminatory actions by police, Jefferson said if there are issues that are systemic, they should be addressed by the mayor and city council. Schmitz said she makes careful review of whether there’s probable cause for arrest in cases and that when police officers are witnesses in trials, she hasn’t sensed that they’re discriminating. “But it is possible,” said Schmitz, emphasizing that she reviews
evidence carefully. She’s a current associate municipal judge for the city of Englewood. Code violations On the question of what the judge can do about what one citizen called “contradictory enforcement” of code violations, Jefferson, the principal attorney at his firm Jefferson Legal Group, nodded to city council. “I will plan on meeting with city council at least twice a year about how I see enforcement going and how we’re getting convictions” and if changes are necessary, Jefferson said. The city prosecutor is the one who decides what cases to bring, Schmitz said. “When it does come to me ... when you have similar kinds of cases like a dog control case, you want to make sure that your sentences are consistent.” Other comments on court Jefferson said he wanted to get the court “into the 21st century” by allowing people to pay speeding and parking tickets online and providing an electronic calendar or docket so people won’t forget when they need to appear in court. He also supported a “restorative justice” idea, where if a young person sprays graffiti, their punishment should be graffiti removal to teach them the damage of their actions, for example. Schmitz said she would support a possible homeless docket to deal with cases for homeless people in a different way and supports reminders for failures to appear.

Heaven knows that heaven snows — that’s how life in Colorado goes QUIET DESPERATION
Craig Marshall Smith
A newcomer to our state said, “Why don’t you write about the first snow of the year?” I said, “You mean the one we had in early January?” “No, the one we just had — in October.” “That was the first snow of the season. Not the first snow of the year.” I think the excitement of moving here from California must have gotten to her, and to her clarity. It happened to me, exactly 40 years ago. I was fresh off the boat from Arizona, where it was 110 degrees in the shade on a cloudy day. I was miserable in Arizona. Hot heat and I
are not compadres. I think it addled me some, because when I landed at Stapleton, I looked around and said, “Am I in heaven?” It was some 30 degrees cooler here than it was the day I left Phoenix. The rental car I climbed into wasn’t a four-wheeled inferno, like the cab I had taken to Sky Harbor Airport. Maybe this isn’t heaven, but after spells in Arizona, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, it sure seemed like it then, and it still does. Think about it. Other than a few blizzards in all of that time, Colorado has been on the outside of the natural disasters that have beset much of the rest of the country. (I am excluding, by time frame, the Big

When our family moved into the district 36 years ago we had no idea what to expect from this “Award Winning Park and Recreation District” that was touted so heavily by our Realtor. Over those years we have come to appreciate and utilize most of those amenities so highly prized by the residents and businesses. South Suburban has helped nurture our kids, impress our guests and provide an important element of the wonderful life we live here in the area. The district’s services and facilities have helped us move from parents with kids in multiple programs to seniors that have the opportunity to walk the trails, play golf, and take classes to help make our later years enjoyable. The multiple gold medals awarded to the district have been recognition of superior services, planning, projects and management. A yes vote on 4B and 4C will allow South Suburban to continue to maintain our outstanding amenities and services, recondition existing facilities and construct new additions. Success in this election will help the district address the recreational needs of our community and maintain our wonderful quality of life. Vote yes on 4B and 4C! Jim Ryan Centennial

Worth repeating: ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again’
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Say yes to 4B, 4C Our family moved to Colorado in 1992 and we purchased a fine home in unincorporated Arapahoe County. After living in the south metro area for a while we became aware of and began using South Suburban Facilities. I was disappointed to learn we were not in-district but of course we gladly paid the non-district fees to use the quality facilities. Over the last few years, we were looking at becoming empty nesters and a tipping point for our decision to move to Lone Tree was that it was part of SSPRD. The point here is that we see the value of living in district and we know being part of SSPRD increases the value of our home in addition to contributing meaningfully to our health and well being. Top-notch organization that it is, South Suburban recently published a new master plan, which lists the opportunities for improving the district going forward. The plan was carefully assembled by surveying constituents across the district and is responsive to the people of the district. However, the plan notes that over the next 10 years due to the sunset of certain mill levies South Suburban incomes will decline by 49 percent. This kind of cut will clearly result in a degradation of services and maintenance of our infrastructure, trails, parks, playgrounds, pools, rec centers and golf courses that we will not able to tolerate. It is for this reason that I urge my neighbors to join with me in supporting 4B and 4C which do not increase our taxes but will retain SSPRD as a value-added benefit of living in our community.For more information go

Poor conflict skills are costly in a wide variety of ways
very year in the GUEST workplace, emCOLUMN ployers (including the government) across the country are losing millions of dollars in employee absenteeism, lost productivity, and employee turnover due to people not knowing how to prevent or manage conflict. How many of our Linda Newell taxpayer dollars could be saved if members of Congress could drop their egos and collaborate rather than pointing fingers and not getting things done? If every elected official collaborated with each other in their work, the efficiency and effectiveness of government would soar. Cost savings would rise. And trust in government could be regained. How many marriages could be saved if people knew how to stop yelling and start listening? How many times have you caught yourself in the middle of a seemingly polite discussion only to discover something just went terribly wrong? Words turn mean, tone of voice gets sharper, and
faces turn red as you both walk away in anger. You’ve been there, done that, right? So what do you do when civil conversations turn into conflict? Through my years of conflict management coaching and time I served in the state Senate, there are a few tips that rise to the top that can be most helpful and easiest to remember in the heat of the moment. Listen - Avoid making assumptions about the other person. You have no idea what’s in their mind even if you think you do. The best way to deal with conflict is to prevent it, when possible, and the best way to do that is to listen first. And I’m not talking about pretending to listen while in your head you’re trying to figure out what to say next in “presenting your case.” I’m saying listening with focus on what the other person is sharing with the intention of truly understanding their thoughts and feelings. (Yup, I said the word “feelings.” Get over it.) Talk - Respectful honest sharing can go a long way to resolving conflict. Talking rather than shouting (or using your inside voice as teachers
How to navigate rising interest rates
I
nvestors and consumers have been hearing about the pitfalls of rising interest rates on their fixed income investments for years. We are starting to feel complacent since the Federal Reserve Board has been very FINANCIAL cautious in their STRATEGIES interest rate hikes this year. But wait — what is this news about unwinding a balance sheet? The Federal Reserve Board announced at their September FOMC meeting that they would start to norPatricia Kummer malize their balance sheet. This is not something most people are familiar with since it is a phenomenon that was created out of the 2008 financial crisis. In 2010, then Fed Chair Ben Bernanke created a policy known as quantitative easing. His theory was that easier financial conditions would promote economic growth and help lift us out of a horrible recession. During the time of quantitative easing, the Fed purchased U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities to create liquidity in the financial markets. Now it plans to let those bonds mature and roll off the balance sheet at a rate of $50 billion per month or $600 billion per year. These sound like big numbers and may warrant our attention to at least understand how it impacts our bond investments. Columbia Threadneedle Investments produced a recent report to help decipher this Fed policy that
began last month. When short-term interest rates reached zero in 2008, the Fed created a “shadow” rate that translated bond purchases into interest rate equivalents. From 2009 through 2014 the Fed purchased $2.2 trillion in assets with a shadow rate of -2.81 percent. Therefore, purchasing these bonds had the same effect on markets as if the Fed had lowered interest rates by 2.81%. Of course, they could not lower them below zero, but these bond purchases in essence created negative interest rates for the United States during the time of quantitative easing. Now the reserve is occurring. The Fed’s planned balance sheet decline of $600 billion would be equivalent to an increase in the Fed funds rate of 0.76% or about three rate hikes of a quarter point each, every year. Therefore, even if we don’t hear about the Fed actually increasing interest rates, they are rising as a result of them reducing the amount of bonds they own on their balance sheet. Certain types of bonds will be affected differently. U.S. Treasuries with longer maturities will be most likely to lose value. Corporate bonds could hold up better as these usually track the health of the underlying company. Mortgage-backed securities reward investors for taking on this risk and the liquidity may improve. Diversification in your investments is paramount but should include a deeper dive than just stocks and bonds. It is also important to diversify within your stock and bond holdings. SEE KUMMER, P16
tell our kids) can help prevent tempers from flaring. Speaking authentically and truthfully can help keep the channels of communication open to prevent shutdowns or line-in-the-sand nights on the couch. Work it out - No other way to say this — resolving conflict takes time and work. Patience with each other, yourself, and the process is key to peace in the home, workplace, school or community. And fortitude to keep the conversations going, not giving up when you know there is a possible solution to the problem and healthy reason to maintain the relationship. We all have opinions, but if family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers are “getting into it” or YOU are getting a bit too aggressive, remember “fair fighting” rules. What’s most important in your relationship is not who’s right or wrong. Are there some people who might have to move out of your life every once in a while? Yes.
But most of the time, we are capable of transforming through the conflict and improving our relationships. If you want to know more about preventing or resolving conflict, this is the time because October is Conflict Resolution Month in Colorado, and there are workshops, classes, articles, books, films, and facilitation and mediation professionals available.

It was Cosell who, years earlier, had “put this game in perspective” when he announced during the December 8, 1980, Monday night game between the Dolphins and Patriots that John Lennon had been shot in New York City. My then-girlfriend showed up, and I was crying. She said, “Did your father die?” No, but my father has died since then (2008), and so has my mother (2008), and I retired (2003) from the teaching position I flew to Denver to take. By now, I have spent 57 percent of my life in Colorado, and that percentage will only increase. I am not going anywhere. It’s not perfect. Drivers are terrible. But drivers are terrible everywhere.

That is not what I am talking about here. I am talking about recognizing that people who we love and who love us, people who we work with or who work for us, people who have the heart to want to succeed, people who want their relationship to succeed, these are the people we want to give those multiple chances to so they can eventually get it right and find their own success. Maybe it even means you find success and happiness together.
October 26, 2017O And because of a master’s degree in art, I cannot abide the horse at the airport, or comprehend the new, giant, tubular larva and all of its tethers on Lincoln Boulevard. Small potatoes against the local color, the local landscape, and the complete absence of a turkey drop. There’s an annual turkey drop in Arkansas. Live turkeys are dropped from small planes at the Yellville Turkey Trot. While wild turkeys can fly, some don’t survive the fall. It’s difficult to be objective about a state that permits something like that. No, I’ll take ours, even though we don’t have an ocean — yet. Colorado is 380 miles by 280 miles, and it’s heavenly.

So how about you? Have you run out of chances yourself or can you give it one or more tries? Have you given others enough chances and worked with them to get it right, or have they run out of chances too? I love hearing your stories each week and would love to have you share them with me again at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can find success in our second chances and more chances, it really will be a better than good week.

CONCUSSIONS FROM PAGE 7
Return to play, return to learn Over the last decade, the national discussion on chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE — a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in people, many of them athletes, with a history of repetitive brain trauma — and the risk of long-term brain damage from concussions has grown louder. A study by neuropathologist Dr. Ann McKee found 110 of 111 brains of National Football League players had CTE. The results of her study were published in July in The Journal of the American Medical Association. And the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study, generated by the Center for Injury Research and Policy, reported that concussions accounted for almost 25 percent of all injuries sustained by high school athletes in the 2014-15 school year. According to Bert Borgmann, assistant commissioner of the Colorado High School Activities Association, discussion about how to best handle head injuries has already been underway in Colorado schools. “Some of (the NFL’s) research had already been going on at the high school and college level,” Borgmann said. High school and college athletic programs were training coaches and athletes to prevent head injuries, but after seeing data on long-term effects from concussions, including CTE, CHSAA and its affiliates revised guidelines to ensure students are fully recovered before returning to classrooms and locker rooms. “What’s even more important is almost every school district in Colorado now has return-to-learn protocols,” Borgmann said. Fluorescent lights, computer screens and cognitive activity can all aggravate concussion symptoms. As such, any student who has suffered one must be cleared by a physician before returning to school.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Taking it seriously Football causes the majority of concussions in high school sports, according to Reasoner, Borgmann and Vidlock. But students get concussions from soccer, cheerleading, skateboarding — even falls in the classroom — and they all go through the same process to return to school and sports. “You can’t use your phone, you can’t watch TV,” Grayson said. “The majority of the day consists of sitting around and sleeping.” Grayson waited a few days before returning to class, but it was three weeks before he did any assignments or light exercise with his rugby teammates. Six weeks after the injury he hit the rugby field again, just in time for the last game of the season. The process was frustrating for him, but reassuring for Teresa. “I remember feeling assured that the school was taking it so seriously,” Teresa said. “I was impressed that everyone was following the protocol to a T, no one was pushing him.” Grayson kept his spot on the rugby team but quit playing football. Schoolwork and a part-time job were his primary reasons. But he watches the news, too. “I’ve definitely seen all of the stuff about CTE,” he said. “This opened my mind that it can happen to anyone.” More than a bell By their competitive nature, athletes tend to “walk it off ” when injured, but it’s not unheard of for coaches or parents to urge players back onto the field, court or ice too soon. Data on concussion risks and outcomes has been increasingly available over the last decade, but changing a culture can take generations. But Vidlock says it’s happening, and she’s seen the difference firsthand. Playing on her first-grade basketball team, Vidlock was concussed when a ball hit her in the face. Her coach’s reconcerned the stock market may adjust, make sure your equities are diversified across country, size, value and growth potential. Uncertainty remains at high levels around future interest rate hikes, the continued balance sheet asset reduction, and now concerns about

Students like Grayson may grow impatient waiting to return to their favorite activities, but nearly every parent Vidlock has worked with appreciates the process, she said. Parents, school staff and students are now on the same page, Vidlock said. “Now there’s communication between physicians and trainers, school nurses and teachers and school psychologists and guidance counselors,” she said. “There used to be this feeling that it isn’t a concussion, they just ‘got their bell rung.’ Getting your bell rung is not a medical condition.”

Employees at Arvada’s Odyssey Beerwerks work on canning beer on an autumn morning. The brewery won its first Great American Beer Festival medal at this year’s event, held Oct. 5-7. CLARKE READER
Local breweries have solid showing at beer fest Those lucky enough to attend got to sample the winners of this year’s medals BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Every year, the Great American Beer Festival brings hundreds of breweries from all over the country to the Mile High City to duke it out over who creates the best ales, IPAs, lagers, German beers and more. And while the real winners are those who were lucky enough to score a ticket, being awarded a medal in one of the festival’s 96 categories is quite the feather in the cap of any brewery. The 2017 event ran from Oct. 5-7 at the Colorado Convention Center. “When our name was announced, my wife screamed, and I looked over at our brewers like, ‘Did that just happen?’” said Chris Hill, who runs Arvada’s Odyssey Beerwerks with Josh Van Riper and Deana, his wife. The brewery received a silver medal for its Woods Monk beer in the Wood- and Barrel-Aged Strong Beer category. “It’s so humbling to win a medal, especially when you consider there are like 800 breweries and 3,900 entries.”
Metro area breweries fared well in this year’s competition. Lone Tree Brewing Co. scored a gold medal, while breweries from Arvada, Castle Rock, Golden, Lakewood, Littleton and Parker also earned medals. “This years festival was nothing less than magical,” said Josh West, head brewer at Lone Tree. “To be the only brewery in Colorado to win two medals this years is a huge accomplishment not to mention becoming the first craft brewery to ever win a gold in the American Lager category.” However, it’s not all about the competition for attendees — the festival is also an opportunity to meet customers and fans, as well as fellow brewers. “Much of GABF is about what goes on around the convention. We were busy as ever giving tours at our brewery and hosting ‘meet the brewer’ tasting events downtown,” said Todd Usry, president and brewmaster at Breckenridge Brewery, headquartered in Littleton. “This year we hosted concerts at our brewery Saturday and Sunday.

A dino-mite autumn for fossil fanatics
don’t remember when I fell in love with dinosaurs, but by the time “Jurassic Park” came out in 1993, I was 8 years old and already completely head over heels. I wanted to be a paleontologist, go to places like Montana, and dig up the fossils of my COMING favorite animals. Even now, nearly 25 ATTRACTIONS years later, I still get a thrill from reading about the latest discoveries, or really any movie with a dinosaur in it. I don’t think you really grow out of being awed by these ancient animals. Clarke Reader That that makes the Front Range a perfect place to live. Between the constant discoveries at Dinosaur Ridge, and incredible finds like the Thornton triceratops, it’s a great time to be a dinosaur fan. And there are options all over town to indulge fossil fanatics like me. At the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., visitors can check out the new Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibit, which is on display through Jan. 15. “In contrast to our permanent exhibit, Prehistoric Journey, this exhibit focuses on the world’s Southern Hemisphere,” explained Dr. Joe Sertich, Curator of Dinosaurs at the museum. “Because of continental drift, these animals evolved in ways that might look bizarre to us because of the species we’re familiar with.” The exhibit focuses on dinosaurs from Africa, Madagascar and South America, and includes 17 fully articulated skeletons and dozens of fossils and casts, video projections and life- D size murals, stations with projection B microscopes, touchable specimens, • puzzles, and games and Fossil Prep Lab activities to try out fossil preparation techniques on fossil casts and let children try firsthand the kind of B activities that scientists like Sertich • do in the field.

Curator will speak at museum on women artists of mid-century Chanzit was successful in creating renowned exhibit in Denver BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In June 2016, Gwen Chanzit curated an exhibit of 51 paintings by 12 women called “Women in Abstract Impressionism” at the Denver Art Museum. It featured major works by female contemporaries of America’s prominent male Abstract Expressionist painters such as Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko … Men in the movement had their work critiqued, studied and exhibited extensively, while many outstanding women went unrecognized and were not able to get

Her presentation will include many color images from the exhibition. Free tickets are available in advance at the museum desk.

The Sunday show was a hurricane relief concert to provide support for victims in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Saturday’s show featured hometown favorite Big Head Tod and the Monsters.” The brews that are entered in the competition are often group choices, as both Hill and Josh Robbins, president and brewmaster at New Terrain, said their staffs discussed what should be entered in the competition. “Most entries are judged on how it fits the style guidelines for specific types of beers,” Robbins explained. His brewery’s Suntrip took silver in the Belgian-Style Witbier category. “We often don’t follow guidelines, but we entered Suntrip because we thought it would fit.” Beers are judged by a panel of industry professionals from all over the world, and evaluated without knowing the brand name. Eventually, all the entries are whittled down to three that best exhibit their category. “Beating all the macro breweries in the American Lager category is nothing less than a monumental accomplishment,” West said.
Chanzit is curator emerita of modern art at the Denver Art Museum and professor of the practice and director of museum studies in art history at the University of Denver. She said in a fall 2016 University of Denver Magazine story that she began developing the idea for her show in 2008 when she visited a New York exhibit centering around critics of abstract expressionism. It mentioned unfamiliar names, including men of color — and a number of women. Realizing the possibility of an interesting exhibit topic, she began researching and learned that there had never been a major exhibition devoted just to the women in that important, first fully American, modern art movement. In 2012, she began intense research on the movement, which ran from 19451960. This included locating paintings in museums and private collections,
“It proves that us craft beer guys can do it just as good if not better than them and that we are relevant, consistent and here to stay.” The bronze Breckenridge received for its Mountain Series: Maibock this year was the brewery’s fifth medal, and both Odyssey and New Terrain received their first-ever medals. “Suntrip is one of our most popular beers that’s not an IPA,” Robbins said. “The win helps us to expand on our reputation for having great beer and atmosphere.” It’s not unusual to get a run on winning beers after the results are announced, which means those interested in sampling all the winners should hurry. “Maibocks are traditionally brewed in the late spring and early summer, but we brewed a special small batch just for GABF,” Usry said. “We have it on tap now at our Farm House restaurant, and it’ll be bottled again for our Rocky Mountain Sampler Pack in the spring.” The festival is as much fun for the brewers as it is for visitors, and everyone comes away inspired for the next year. “Just like everyone else, we come back to our booths really excited,” Hill said. “The goal is to tell someone, ‘You have to try this beer I just had.’”

Assisted by a pair of former students, Jessie Laird Ortega and Renee Miller, she opened a stunning show in June 2016 at the Denver Art Museum. A handsome catalog, printed by Yale University Press, accompanied the exhibit, which traveled elsewhere after it closed in Denver. Some painters in the exhibit were well-recognized, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell and Lee Krasner, whose works had been exhibited with the male artists, primarily in New York, but this was a first in terms of an allwomen roster. The Denver Art Museum acquired eight new paintings, including Mary Abbott’s “All Green” and three promised gifts, as a result of the show. Chanzit views them “as a legacy of this exhibition” and hopes people will come to the museum to see them in the future.

Outside of being an extra that gets eaten in one of the Jurassic Park movies, the closest you can get to interacting with the prehistoric animals is Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo Live. The show, hosted at 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 11 at the University of Denver’s Newman Center, 2344 E. Iliff Ave., brings ultra-realistic dinosaur puppets to the stage, where audiences can interact with them. “We have different puppets we use to reflect the dinosaurs that are native to the places we’re performing,” explained Miles Portek, the host of the show. “It’s a rare chance to get up close, and face to face with dinosaurs.” The show takes the same approach as Pixar animated films, Portek said, and offers something for all ages. He said the key is not to be condescending to children in the audience. “It really ignites the imagination for everyone, Portek said. “And who wouldn’t love meeting a dinosaur?’ Go to www.newmancenterpresents.com/erths-dinosaurzoo-live for tickets and more information.

From Texas to Colorado, with a side jaunt to Japan Englewood weather a draw I moved from Austin, Texas. The biggest differences that I regularly notice are probably the most intuitive ones. People in Englewood seem to be out more, enjoying the weather and being social. People in Austin are out and active a lot as well, but something about sweating from sunup to sundown takes some of the fun out of it. On that note, I really enjoy having
four full seasons. It’s nice to have that variety and enjoy the recreational activities that come with it. Also, as a result of the weather and perhaps my proximity to the heart of Englewood, I find myself walking more than I ever did in Austin, where things are too spread out to walk to more often than not. Community regular I think it is a small city with large potential. It has a ways to go before I’d say I’m really proud of where I live, but I believe the community wants to see it reach its potential. The area that I live in has a mediumsized community feel.

There is very little time that we are not out doing something and staying active. My wife is a Cub Scout den leader of the local (pack), and I am the Cubmaster.

El Tepehuan comes back to life, two years later Longtime Mexican-food favorite returns to downtown Englewood after long hiatus BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The low roar of chatter, clanging silverware and customers flowing through the door heralded what loyal customers had been waiting on for years: the reopening of El Tepehuan. The famed Mexican restaurant — coming up on nearly 40 years of history — closed in November 2015, said its owner’s husband, David Davis. In the meantime, it doled out its dishes from a food truck, which closed in July 2016, Davis said. Recently, owner Graciela Corral said that issues that came up in 2015 made it necessary to move to another location. “We anticipated completion in August and got done in early September,” Davis said of the construction, which began in March at the new location, 3495 S. Broadway. The lease ran out at the old location, which was just up the block at 3457 S. Broadway, and getting a contractor and figuring out how to finance the transition took time. “Nobody liked the way it closed,” Davis said. In its aftermath, Corral and Davis heard questions from customers in downtown Englewood on its status. We “frequent downtown restaurants, and everyone said, what happened? Are you gonna bring it back?” said Davis, recounting how people would recognize Corral on the street. Now, the Mexican staple is back bigger than before. The new location expanded capacity to 103 seats, about 50 seats more than in the old location, Davis said. Customers packed the place by about 11 a.m. on reopening day, and some tables were filling at 7:30 a.m. Davis mused about the possibility of being overcrowded. “Here, we thought, maybe we won’t have that problem,” Davis said, laughing. “Maybe we will.” It was a rare seat that was left open in the place as groups large and small chattered and ate — former Mayor Randy Penn among them. “El Tepehuan has been a mainstay on Broadway for 40 years,” Penn said before the opening day. “They are a destination restaurant that had, and will have, a tremendous following.” At his table, he laughed and said the new place is a “dangerous location” for him — his office as executive director of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, just across the street at the famed “spaceship bank” building, enables him to come eat there whenever he likes — but he welcomed the opening. Customers struck up conversations with Corral, who said a lot people in the crowd know her and came to the old restaurant. Corral was running around the restaurant herself with the staff, overseeing the first day.

A server works the bar at El Tepehuan on its reopening day Oct. 16. The employee’s shirt, like all the staff’s, reads, “We serve the best.” Her dream was to have her own restaurant. When her husband, Jose Corral, started El Tepehuan in 1978, it was a family business, with their children helping operate it. Jose Corral was killed in a car accident in 1987, but Graciela Corral took over, and she and her children kept the restaurant open. Asked how it feels to have El Tepehuan open again, Corral said it feels like a dream. Customers could relate. “We were waiting for this to reopen,” said Gretchen Clamcey, 32, who lives in south Denver and used to go to the old location. “We were so excited when we drove by on Sunday and saw the sign that it was opening.” As staff bustled in and out of tables, Davis watched the crowd fill the new El Tepehuan, the prior location of which being where he met Corral and they started dating about a decade ago. “This is lunch,” Davis said. “This is El Tepehuan lunch,” he added, with emphasis.

Continuum of Colorado Opens Innovative Home for Children with Developmental Disabilities Raising a child with a developmental disability and extreme behavioral support needs is nothing short of challenging. Some of these children exhibit aggressive and self-injurious behaviors that require heightened levels of care and highly-individualized treatments- care and treatments that may exceed both the abilities and expertise of their primary caregivers. In Colorado, Intermediate Care Facilities, which are better equipped to handle such behaviors, don’t accept children under the age of 17, and caregivers who seek help through foster care placement typically must relinquish custody of their children to get the help they need. Continuum of Colorado, alongside several partner organizations, knew there had to be a better solution. Kingston House is an innovative residential facility, introducing a program that focuses on reducing problematic behaviors, increasing communication skills, and teaching greater independence for the children. The program also provides support and trainings to caregivers, a key element in the ultimate goal of transitioning the child back into the care of their loved ones.

Englewood Schools is also working to train its staff to understand signs of emotional distress through Mental Health First Aid, a national program that teaches skills to respond to signs of mental illness and substance use. Englewood is also taking advantage of a variety of grants to increase its mental health, social and emotional supports. One of those grants came from the Expelled and At-Risk Student Services program through the Colorado Department of Education. The district will use the four-year grant to implement restorative practices, an approach using various communicative techniques focused on affective statements or brief comments about how others were impacted by actions, and proactive community-building activities to reduce the number of student suspensions. The district also received a grant through Kaiser Permanente to be part of the Los Angeles Education Partnership, a nonprofit that provides coaches that focus on dealing with trauma. In addition, Englewood Schools partners with Arapahoe Douglas Mental Health Network for school-based therapists to work with students on site. “We’ve really been working to increase our focus in the last couple years,” said Callan Clark, executive director of student services for the Englewood school district. Jeffco schools also partners with
local mental health provider Jefferson County Mental Health to provide social emotional learning specialists to schools in the district. For the 2016-17 school year, Jeffco hired 30 SEL specialists who serve at every middle school in the district teaching curriculum. Those specialists were funded from the district’s general fund, something Sullivan, who coordinates SEL in Jeffco, said was well worth the $750,000 expense. A 2015 study by researchers at Columbia University found that the measurable benefits of SEL exceed the costs, often by considerable amounts. The aggregate result of the analysis showed an average benefit-cost ratio of about 11-1 among the six evidencebased SEL interventions studied. This means that, on average, for every $1 invested in SEL programming, there is a return of $11. This year, Jeffco was awarded a grant from the state’s School Health Professionals Grant Program, which uses recreational marijuana tax dollars to help hire additional school health professionals in districts across the state. With that money, Jeffco will hire six more SEL specialists who will be assigned to elementary schools in the Jefferson and Wheat Ridge articulation areas. The grant also includes hiring three full-time nurses in the Lakewood area. (These are the three communities in the Jeffco district that sell recreational marijuana.) The goal, Sullivan said, is to focus on prevention, building relationships with kids and practicing SEL skills early and often.

‘This is Colorado’ painting creator has long history in Pat Clarke has been active both locally and in locations around globe BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Pat Clarke says she and her husband Mark looked for some time to find the right Highlands Ranch home with a bright, airy walk-out basement that is her studio today. The couple had been living in Park Hill, but moved south to help with grandchildren when needed. Here, she sets up her easel when home — and pulls out a large round white palette, filled with dabs of bright color. A bulletin board in a back corner is filled with award ribbons accumulated through a career as a watercolorist. Clarke grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, where her engineer father was a professor. She lived at home, attended KU and was able to travel abroad in the summers — in Spain the summer following her freshman year — the first of many trips there. (She earned a bachelor’s debree in social work.) The spacious studio is filled with artists’ supplies large and small and many en plein air paintings that tell stories about numerous locations in Spain and elsewhere. And upstairs, the Clarkes’ home resembles a gallery — with Pat’s paintings and some by other artists.
Pat Clarke, watercolorist/plein air painter, speaks in her Highlands Ranch home studio. She displays the special painters’ backpack her daughter made for her to carry supplies while working outdoors. SONYA ELLINGBOE. The Clarkes met in Costa Rica on their respective junior year abroad programs—both teaching English as a second language. They married and looked for opportunities to teach abroad, joined by a baby daughter. “We were living in Boulder and Mark had graduated, but we couldn’t do Peace Corps with a child.” The best opportunity was in Egypt,
and they went there in 1969 — still both teaching English as a second language. Baby Julia joined the family while they lived in Egypt. Blond baby Julia, in a back pack carrier, was really popular with Egyptians, Clarke recalls. (The family went back for a pleasant visit with friends when the girls were teens.) Next stop was Saudi Arabia. “It was
more liberal in the ‘70s,” she said. (It depends on the king). Son Benjamin, now also an artist, was born there. Both parents taught English (separately to men and women) at Arabian Oil Co. (Aramco). For a year later on, 2009-2010, they lived in picturesque Sitges, on the coast of Catalonia, while Mark, a Fulbright Scholar, commuted by train to teach and research in Barcelona on a cooperative project regarding immigrant youths. (Mark, fluent in Arabic and Spanish, taught people how to teach languages.) Pat took social work classes in Spanish. It was a perfect place to paint. Mark now teaches at CU-Denver. Pat Clarke, a member of Heritage Fine Arts Guild and of the Colorado Watercolor Society, teaches through Park Hill’s Art Garage, a community organization housed in an old service station. She has taught plein air painting and is currently involved with teaching teens to paint and exhibit their works. On Oct. 14-15, she exhibited paintings at her son’s home, as part of the large annual Park Hill Open Studio Tour. She recently taught a daylong workshop for the Heritage Fine Arts Guild, as well. Look for her work in the local area. She currently has a painting in Heritage Fine Arts Guild’s “This is Colorado” exhibit in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College.

iya Chamberlin, a junior captain on the Wheat Ridge girls cross country team, has a suggestion for politicians to help relieve the current turmoil in Washington, D.C. “I think what would calm all the politicians is if they would just go for a 30-minute run every day,” explained Chamberlin. OVERTIME “They would just relax, use up all their energy and then they would be able to think clearly.” It seems cross country running provides a means to socialize and communicate. Going on long runs during practice can be lonely Jim Benton if a runner is all alone, so running with teammates is a way to talk and create friendships. “As far a running with your teammates in practice, it is such a bonding experience,” added Chamberlin. “I’ve had some of the best conversations on runs with people. It seems to just open people up. It’s so special. “Cross country is one of the most social sports, unlike soccer or football, which are politically involved and you are sort of bad-mouthing the other team. You can’t have anything but respect for somebody to run a 5K and beat you. You know how hard that is. It’s black and white. There are no coaches deciding who is the better player. The finish line is what talks.” Rock Canyon senior Chris Theodore and sophomore Easton Allred were the first runners to cross the finish line during the Continental League championships held Oct. 11, with Allred edging Theodore towards the end. At the 5A Region 5 state qualifying championships on Oct. 19, Theodore and Allred were again first and second, but this time Theodore won by .25 of a second over his teammate. “We really push each other,” said Theodore. “I’m happy if my teammate can beat me if it helps our team. There’s a really nice environment going on. Cross country is really social, especially on a team basis. “When you run in practice you are running with people working just as hard and working for the same goal. When you’re out there by yourself it is kind of no fun. You can’t express yourself. Going on those long runs you can talk about whatever you want.” Teammates become like members of the family, and often top competitors are best friends. Chamberlin claims most of the fun athletes have is after a race, and many runners hope to be feeling joyous following the state cross country championships, SEE BENTON, P33

Athletes strive to get up to speed Explosiveness cited as key attribute for athletes across multiple sports BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Speed never takes a day off, goes the adage. “Speed is any sport is very, very important because it’s hard to teach speed,” Cherry Creek soccer coach Chelo Curi said. The ability to move fast is important in almost all athletic endeavors — and it’s not always just foot speed. In fall high school sports, explosiveness and quickness are at least as important. “Speed is important but not the most critical thing,” Valor Christian football coach Rod Sherman said. “I always say explosiveness is the most critical (attribute) for an athlete. At the end of the day, it’s great to have some kids that run 4.5 (seconds) in the 40-yard dash, but you don’t have that many opportunities for a 4.5 40 to come out in the game of football. It’s much more important to be explosive, make a play in a short space.” Scott Dowis, volleyball coach at Castle View, agrees with Sherman. “Speed and quickness are important, but the most important physical skill is explosiveness,” Dowis said. “The volleyball court is pretty small when there are six players on it in the indoor game. Most of the
Alameda’s Lizabeth Garcia (9) tried to beat an Englewood player to a loose ball during a league game in 2015. Garcia won control of the ball and helped Alameda to mount an attack. TOM MUNDS movement either to the ball defensively and blocking or attacking is quick explosive movements.” Arapahoe golf coach Harry Buckner said hand speed makes a big difference on the links. “Many golfers can’t run fast but hand speed and club speed can be developed,” he said. “Distance in golf is related to hand speed.” In softball, Alameda set a single season record in 2017 with 180 stolen bases, and coach Tom Dillingham echoed the motto about speed being a constant factor.
“Speed is important on both offense and defense,” he said. “Speed, explosiveness and timing is the key to stealing bases.” Foot speed, quickness and explosiveness can be enhanced — which goes against another age-old adage that speed can’t be improved, that one is born with it. Allison Skufca, who works for Landow Performance in Centennial, aids athletes of all ages to advance their speed. “That’s what we do,” she said. “We focus more on teaching mechanics,
On campus: Arapahoe • The soccer team ended the Centennial League regular season with a 5-1 win over Overland on Oct. 17 to finish in a three-way tie for first place. Arapahoe, Cherry Creek and Grandview were all 6-1-0. Creek beat Arapahoe in overtime, Grandview shut out Creek and Arapahoe topped Grandview. The Warriors were seeded ninth for a first-round 5A playoff game against Monarch on Oct. 26. • Alicia Nguyen ended the Centennial League regular volleyball season as the league leader in digs with 384, or 6.3 per set. Carly Killorin was second in the league with 491 assists and fourth with 40 aces.
Cherry Creek • After wrapping up the Centennial League title, the volleyball team was
out to improve its RPI standing in the Centennial Challenge with hopes of hosting a regional tournament. The Bruins beat Smoky Hill, 3-0, on Oct. 17 and Eaglecrest, 3-1, Oct. 19 for its 10th straight victory. • The football team’s defense bends but doesn’t break and the offense has been rolling along. Junior Alec Padilla had a 147.7 quarterback rating in the win over Horizon. The Bruins are averaging 50.1 points a game in three Mount Elbert league contests, 38.6 points overall and face winless Prairie View on Oct. 27. • The soccer team will be at home for a first-round 5A state playoff game when the 10th-seeded Bruins host No. 23 Liberty in a game scheduled for Oct. 26.
Englewood • The football teams wraps up the season Oct. 27 with a game against Ridge View Academy. The Pirates
the mechanics of different running stages. You have acceleration and top-end speed. Then, all of our weight room stuff like our lifting gets them stronger and more explosive, which helps with that. “It really takes two months for an athlete to really start to notice the difference. They will notice the little stuff as they adapt to the training, but a good eight to 12 weeks is when they will really start to notice.” High school coaches, too, have their own ways of enriching speed. “Quick, short running spurts will improve it because it adds to the burst and the first three steps,” Curi said. For many athletes, speed and explosiveness training are done both at and outside of school. “We are lucky at Castle View to have a great strength (program) staffed by Patrick McHenry,” Dowis said. “He and his staff work our players three days a week during the summer to get them stronger and more explosive. We also have players who work with other SAQ (strength, agility, quickness) coaches throughout the year through their clubs or independently.” To Sherman, the most important period for improving explosiveness is the off-season. “Once you can get into season, you can improve a little bit but it’s what you do out of season,” Sherman said. “Using the weight room to build the base of explosiveness and you can use the field to train and to funnel that into on field explosiveness.”
News and notes from local high school sports programs
have won the past three games played against the Rams, including a 39-14 victory last season. • Senior Maryah Hoeft leads the 4A/3A Colorado 7 volleyball league statistics with 486 digs.
Heritage • Senior goalkeeper Tieman Day was second in the final Continental League regular-season statistics with 118 saves and an average of 8.4 saves per match. He was also second with a 1.221 goals against average with three shutouts. • Both the boys and girls cross country teams qualified for the Oct. 28 state championships. The boys were runners-up in the Class 5A, Region 2 on Oct. 19 and the girls were fourth.
• The football team saw its two-game winning streak end as Dakota Ridge scored 42 points in the first half en route to a 42-21 win over the Eagles who play Golden on Oct. 27. Heritage has won all three previous games played against the Demons.
Littleton • Last season, the boys soccer team was 2-5-0 in the 4A Jefferson County League. The team blanked Evergreen 2-0 on Oct. 18 to finish 6-1-0 and won the outright conference title. It was the school’s first conference championship since 1973. • Four runners qualified from 4A Region 1 for the Oct. 28 state cross country championships. Christian Sapakoff and Cooper Brown were the boys qualifiers, while Addi Iken and Hailey Lockhart will be in the girls field.

which will be held Oct. 28 at the Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs. The Penrose course at 6,119 feet has been redesigned and the big Willis Hill no longer is part of the course. It is one of the toughest in the state for high school competitors. The course still has bridge crossings, rolling hills and a creek crossing before the finish line. “You just go on adrenaline and the competition really fuels you and all the other good girls that are running around you,” said Mountain Vista Junior Caroline Eck. “There was a really big hill the year before my freshman year but there is still a decent sized hill, but not really as big as the one before. There is a water crossing at the very end. At that point, though, you are so very close to the finish that you have all the possible motivation that you could. “There is definitely a different vibe going into the state meet,” she added. “You know all the people around you are just going to make you better. You can visualize crossing the finish line

and that really helps. “You have to mentally prepare for every race. One thing we do on our team is try to have fun with each other and focus on why we are doing it and not necessarily all the pressure and outside factors that there are and mentally just getting into the zone. You just want to really enjoy things with your teammates.”
