Sixth-grader, heart transplant recipient About me I am a sixth-grader at Euclid Middle School. I was born with an underdeveloped heart and had a heart transplant when I was three months old, on Jan. 30, 2005. I like video games and I like school a lot, because it gives me something interesting to do and keeps me busy. How to talk to giraffes — and other things I definitely like games from Bethesda Game Studios. They produce a lot of open-world games that have a lot of exploration and different paths you can take. I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I watch lots of different random things. If I stumble upon a tutorial of how to talk to giraffes, I’d watch it. A different perspective I think my situation gives me a more meaningful take on life. I’m really

Townhomes along river approved by city
Council OKs rezoning for 56 residential units on Prince Street last month BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton may be getting some new housing stock, as a general development plan and rezoning for a proposed 56-unit townhome community along the South Platte River was recently approved by city council. Platte 56, as the project is called, is located on a three-acre site at 5000 S. Prince St., north of the Walgreens at Prince and Belleview Avenue and
south of the Greenleaf Riverside apartment complex. The site has been vacant for decades and requires a rezone from commercial to residential. The project, proposed by Central Development, still needs final platting and a site development plan, said Andrea Mimnaugh, the city planning manager. The plan calls for three story buildings, plus rooftop decks on some of them. The city’s planning commission has recommended approval of the project. Central Development principal Jeremy Records said the project would provide a buffer separating Littleton’s single-family homes from the commercial and industrial spaces just to the north. He also said the site is no longer viable for commercial development as
it has no frontage along Belleview. “Prince is a dead-end street,” he said. Records said the townhomes would provide options for people who want to downsize but still live in Littleton, as well as those looking for a “lockand-leave” home that requires minimal maintenance if they travel a lot. The council approved the rezoning and development plan by a 4-2 vote at the Nov. 15 meeting, with Councilmember Phil Cernanec absent and Mayor Bruce Beckman and Councilmember Doug Clark opposing. Councilmember Debbie Brinkman expressed concerns about the project but ultimately voted in favor of it. She said that she had concerns about safety at entrance points to the
heavily-trafficked Mary Carter Greenway trail. Councilmember Jerry Valdes said the project is desirable as a commercial development is unlikely to happen there. Paul Bingham, a member of local government watchdog group Sunshine, spoke in favor of the project. “I think it’s a well thought-out thing,” he said, saying it’s surrounded by apartments and commercial development and thus would not bother neighbors. Sunshine member Pam Chadbourne said she had concerns, however. “It’s too dense for the site,” she said. She also said that the noise from Santa Fe Drive may harm the longterm desirability of the units.

Seniors collect winter gear for homeless vets BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
About 300 winter hats, scarves and pairs of gloves or mittens collected by seniors living in Littleton’s Riverwalk Community were picked up by Volunteers of America on Dec. 9 to be distributed to homeless veterans and their families. Riverwalk resident Lois Ream said that the community had done a successful coat drive last year. This year, it decided to focus on smaller items, partially because they are lighter and easier for senior citizens to collect. “We just decided this has got to be done,” she said.
Volunteers of America community coordinator Megan Morales said the organization works with a lot of homeless veterans, or those on the verge of being homeless. “A lot of our vets are experiencing homelessness, so they’re outside a lot,” she said. Morales added that hats and gloves are in high demand. “We have shelves where we put out donated items, and those go fast,” she said. Some of the hats were hand-knitted by residents, Ream said. Resident Joan Price said that Riverwalk residents are very active when it comes to helping people. “We care for our vets,” she said.
Residents of Riverwalk Community of Littleton sort through 300 pieces of winter clothing they collected for homeless veterans. KYLE HARDING

Lorry Lutz, a missionary, mother and writer, releases her 11th book, Daughters of Deliverance, on Dec. 1 at Wind Crest Town Center. Lutz is a resident of the retirement community. “A lot of time in the beginning was research,” she said. “I don’t know how writers researched without the internet.” COURTESY OF ROYALENE DOYLE
Wind Crest resident releases 11th book Novel tells story of a ‘passionate, persistent woman,’ author says BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
Lorry Lutz, a Wind Crest resident, has written 11 books over the past 35 years. Her most recent novel, “Daughters of Deliverance,” was published Dec. 1. She spent about 10 years researching and crafting the fictional story about a nonfictional character — Katherine Bushnell, a medical doctor, social activist and missionary in China. “It’s like having the framework to a building and you get to fill all the rooms,” Lutz said of her writing endeavor. Lutz, 88, was born and raised in the Midwest. She and her late husband, Al, spent 22 years as missionaries in South Africa. She then earned a master’s degree in communications and journalism at Wheaton Graduate School in Illinois. Lutz, who calls herself a missionary, mother and writer, has trained women around the world
to become involved in prayer. She served about 10 years as senior ministry associate with the Women of Global Action. Global Action is an organization that equips countries with leaders and churches, according to its website. Lutz has four children, eight grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. She’s lived in Wind Crest for nine years and served on the board of the Sunday Evening Christian Fellowship. Her life experiences have helped her writing, she said. “You have to have something to say,” said Lutz. Her latest book focuses on empowering women. Set in 1886, 31-year-old Katherine Bushnell, the main character, leaves her medical practice in Denver to work with women in rough areas of Chicago and the lumber camps of Wisconsin. “Her love for God and passion to see women released from bondage lead her to risk her own freedom and reputation for their sakes,” the book’s back cover says. Lutz plans to release a sequel titled “The Queen’s Daughters” next September. Her current book is sold in Inklings Bookstore at Cherry Hills Community Church, 3900 Grace Blvd., and on Amazon.

Judith Wray was fixture in area arts, theater circles
Educator moved to Littleton in 1956 and left big imprint on community BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Theater professional, educator and arts administrator Dr. Judith Edworthy Wray, who moved to Littleton in 1956 and was active in the arts/theater community for many years, died on Nov. 26 in Colorado Springs at age 87. She and her husband, John L. Wray, moved to Colorado Springs when they retired. Born in Charleston, West Virginia, she earned a bachelor’s degree in theater and fine arts at Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio, then
pursued advanced degrees at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Her master’s degree was in radio and television, followed by a doctorate in theater and speech communicaWray tion. Following the Wrays’ move to Littleton, she began a passionate career as a theater professional, educator and arts administrator. For 14 years, Dr. Wray was associate professor of speech and drama and directed reader’s theater productions at Loretto Heights College. From the mid-1950s through the 1960s, Wray performed in and directed productions on Denver stages, including Bonfils Theatre, Columbine Playhouse and the Changing Scene. In 1967-68, she presented a unique multimedia production of “Alice in
Wonderland” at Third Eye Theatre, with subsequent road show performances in Chicago and Aspen. In 1970, Dr. Wray accepted a position with the Colorado Council on the Arts and Humanities and directed the Artists in the Schools program, a first-in-the-nation program dedicated to developing arts in public schools, which was soon implemented nationwide. She consulted with other states’ arts councils and received many honors. She was active in the Larry Tajiri Foundation and the Greenway Foundation board and helped organize special events for the City of Littleton, such as the annual Candlelight Walk. She was a member of the Town and Gown Society and the Littleton Fine Arts Committee (now Board). In 1982, she accepted a twoyear position with the Children’s Museum of Denver.
In 1986, Dr. Wray organized a People to People delegation to the People’s Republic of China. In 1990, the Wrays moved to Colorado Springs, where they quickly became engaged in the local arts community and enjoyed time with son Christopher and family. She supported the Colorado College Summer Music Festival, Fine Arts Center and Business of Arts Center in Manitou Springs. Dr. Wray is survived by her husband, John, son Christopher, daughter-in-law Myla and three grandchildren. Burial services will be private and a celebration of life ceremony will be held in spring 2017, details to be announced. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests tax-deductible donations to the arts organization Concrete Couch, 214 E. Vermijo Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903.

Comprehensive plan heads to another review Planning and Zoning to eye changes made by council BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A lengthy Dec. 5 discussion regarding Englewood city charter requirements when changes are made to the proposed comprehensive plan culminated in a 4-2 vote to have the planning and zoning commission again review the document. By definition, a comprehensive plan sets out the goals and
aspirations of a community in terms of community development, and outlines policies regarding land use. The city has been working on the Englewood Forward 2016 Comprehensive Plan to replace the outdated 2003 plan. Englewood hired consultants to assist with rewriting the plan at a cost of about $160,000. The planning and zoning commission reviewed the document and forwarded it to the city council with an approval recommendation. The city council held a public hearing on the plan and made a number of changes to it after the hearing. At the Dec. 5 city council
meeting, Mayor Joe Jefferson asked for councilmembers to comment on whether or not the planning and zoning commission should review the document again, since the council had made a number of changes to the comprehensive plan since the council first reviewed it. Councilmember Rita Russell said she felt the plan should go back to the commission. “The city charter said any city plan must be reviewed by the planning and zoning commission,” Russell said. “We have made a number of changes and I believe it should again be reviewed by planning and zoning.”
She also said she has a number of concerns about the comprehensive plan, including her belief that the plan benefits developers, while she feels the document should protect the quality of life of the city’s residents. Councilmember Steve Yates disagreed. He said he supports the plan as it is and doesn’t agree it should be sent back to planning and zoning for further review. The council voted 4-2 to send the document back to the planning and zoning commission. Mayor Joe Jefferson and Councilmembers Russell, Laurett Barrentine and Amy Martinez supported the motion, while
Yates and Mayor Pro Tem Rick Gillit voted against it. Councilmember Linda Olson was not in attendance. The commission review of the amended plan will include a public hearing. After the process is completed, the document will go back to the city council for consideration. The returned document can include commission recommended changes or a recommendation to approve the document. Though there is no firm timeline, it is expected it could take as long as six months for the commission to complete its review and return the document to the council for consideration.
Englewood City Council approves five bridge repair projects Work adds up to total bill of $196,400 BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Drivers using five bridges in Englewood should expect delays soon as work begins around the city. The city council approved a contract for $196,400 for the firm ABCO Contracting to do work on the Broadway bridges over Big Dry Creek and Little Dry Creek, the Logan Street bridge over Little Dry Creek, the Union Avenue bridge over the South Platte
‘The bridges are all safe to use but these are projects that need to be done. Fortunately, this year the money was in the budget to award the contract for the work.’ Paul Weller, public works engineer River and the Windermere Street bridge over Big Dry Creek.
“The scope of work is different on each bridge,” said Paul Weller, public

POLICE BRIEFS Officers save life About 5:25 a.m. Nov. 30, two Englewood police officers when to a residents in the 4700 block of South Sherman Street on a report of a man not breathing. They found the man with no pulse when they arrived and both officers began administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), then were relieved by Denver Fire Department medics until it was found the man had a pulse. The man was taken to a hospital and is expected to recover. Denver medics reported that had the officers not administered CPR the man’s medical issues probably would have been fatal. Police arrest wanted man About 1:25 p.m. Nov. 12, while searching the area around the Walmart store at 601 Englewood Parkway,
works engineer. “The repair projects vary from installing guardrails on the Windermere bridge to sandblasting and painting some of the bridges.” Weller said the money for the projects was allocated in the 2016 public improvement budget. “These are projects that have been on the to-do list for a long time and were identified by state bridge inspectors,” he said. “The bridges are all safe to use but these are projects that need to be done. Fortunately, this year the money was in the budget to award the contract for the work.” Plans are to begin the repair work in January with the goal of completing all five projects by May.
Englewood police officers found and arrested a suspect, and during the investigation it was found he was wanted in Louisiana for two counts of attempted murder. The police had a description of the shoplifting suspect and located a 29-year-old man matching the description. The suspect tried to get away from the police on his bicycle but the officers captured him. During the routine search of the suspect, officers found he was carrying a loaded .40-caliber handgun as well as suspected methamphetamine, suspected marijuana, drug paraphernalia and fraudulent documents. He was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe Sheriff ’s Detention Center. Burglary suspect found Police received the call about 11:15 p.m. Nov. 25
because a resident thought there was a burglar in his home. The officers went to home in the 3000 block of South University Circle, searched the home, and found and arrested a 36-yearold man who the resident said didn’t belong in the house. Vandalism suspects located Officers investigating reports of windows being broken located two juveniles and an adult who reportedly admitted they had been shooting out the windows of houses and cars for three nights. The police investigation happened about 9:40 p.m. Nov. 28. The officers checked the report of broken windows in the 4200 block of South Cherokee Street. Police used night vision equipment to locate the three suspects and their BB gun.

focus and there was no way our two girls would let us eat first. They got their wish and now we can relax and have a nice breakfast.” The Weir family has made attending Breakfast with Santa a tradition. “The whole family is here,” Englewood resident Norma Weir said. “The kids are excited to see Santa, the pancakes are good and it is a good time for us all to get together.” Before or after breakfast, the next order of business was the trip to the Malley gymnasium so the children could visit with Santa. As they entered the gym, each family was given a number and there were places for them to wait to be called to the line to see Santa. There were holiday videos playing on a screen to help keep children occupied. There were
also tables where children could color or make red-andgreen paper chains. Elijah Gallegos, 10, said it was pretty cool to get a chance to tell Santa about the toys he wanted for Christmas. His younger brother, Zu, had a different message for Santa. “I told Santa I would like a couple things but I also asked him to help the homeless people find places to stay and stop the police from taking their blankets,” the 8-year-old said. As Jason Smith and his 8-year-old son Maddon colored a picture of a reindeer, he said this is the sixth straight year the family has come to Breakfast with Santa. “We keep coming back because it is so much fun,” Maddon said. “I liked talking to Santa. I asked him to bring me a Hot Wheel set with the loop-d-loop.”

Smartphone health apps fare poorly in review
Many fail to warn of dangers; privacy also can fall short
There’s been a proliferation of health apps for mobile phones. According to the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, there are more than 165,000 health apps out there. “The state of health apps is even worse than we thought,” said Dr. James Madara, chief executive of the American Medical Association, who was not involved in the study. This wasn’t a survey of stepcounting fitness apps. The research team reviewed 137 apps designed for patients with serious ongoing health problems, including asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and depression.
BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Don’t count on smartphone health apps in an emergency: A review shows many don’t warn when you’re in danger. The study published Dec. 5 in the journal Health Affairs found problems even with apps considered to be among the highest-quality offerings on the market.
The health apps, for example, help those with diabetes track and record every blood sugar reading and insulin injection. One invites users to photograph their moles, and offers analysis on whether they are changing in a way that signals skin cancer. The study suggests that, though some apps are good, there are problems. Perhaps most concerning was what happened when doctor reviewers entered information that should have drawn warnings from the app — like selecting “yes” when the app asked if the user was feeling suicidal, or entering extremely abnormal levels for blood sugar levels. Only 28 of 121 apps responded ap-
propriately to such red-flag information, researchers said. Health apps “should have some common-sense standards” said lead author Dr. Karandeep Singh, a University of Michigan internist. “The vast majority of apps do not have any kind of response.” Another issue is the safeguarding of medical privacy. While patients commonly enter health information into apps, a lot of the information is shared through insecure methods like text message or emailing, the researchers said. The reviewed apps came from Apple iTunes and Google Play app stores — most of them free.

Researchers face shortage of info on pot use by older adults Scientists in uncharted territory as some baby boomers buck trend BY KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS
Surveys show a small but growing number of older adults are using marijuana — a trend that worries researchers who say not enough information exists about how pot affects older users. Abundant research has been done on how the drug impacts developing brains, but little is known about the
potential consequences on older users — even as recreational pot has been legalized in a number of states. Researchers at New York University say pot could pose health challenges to older users ranging from memory loss to risk of falling. The researchers reviewed data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and found a big increase in adults over 50 reporting they had used pot in the past year. About 2.8 percent of those surveyed said they had used pot a decade ago. Six years later in 2013, the rate was about 4.8 percent — a 71 percent jump. “Historically older people haven’t had high rates of substance use, but
this is changing,” said Dr. Benjamin Han, a geriatrician at NYU who led the study published this week in the journal Addiction. “As baby boomers age, we’re going to see more and more of this.” Older adults are still much less likely than younger people to use pot. In the 2013 survey, about 19 percent of people 18 to 25 reported using marijuana in the previous month. Doctors have little to go on when treating older people who use pot, Han said. “When it comes to, for instance, alcohol, there have been a lot of studies about effects on older populations, guidelines on how much older people
Real Estate
should be consuming,” Han said. “But when it comes to marijuana, we have nothing.” The study drew no conclusions about whether older pot users are using the drug as medicine or for fun. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said last year that marijuana can be helpful for treating certain ailments, but he added that medical marijuana research is preliminary and he called for more research. Federal drug law considers marijuana a drug with no medical use. Marijuana legalization debates center on the drug’s consequences for kids, perhaps leaving adults to think there’s no downside to using it.

Be a blessing to someone who is caught in the painful world of addiction WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
I
t seems like almost every day we hear of another family member, friend or someone close to us who has fallen victim to the disease of addiction. And in some cases, it is a friend of a friend or stories of people we really don’t even know at all, and yet our hearts are broken for them too. We are all familiar with the many faces of addiction such as drugs, alcohol, food, pornography, gambling and others, but somehow the faces of the addicted seem to get lost, painted with the same brush, or muddled and lumped together into one large stereotyped grouping. They have become nameless faces who are, or were, just too weak to fight their urges and addic-
tions. Maybe anger, frustration, embarrassment are a few of the feelings that fuel our disposition and outlook, and I am sure you can think of a few other feelings as well such as resentment, sorrow and regret because the harm or damage we personally incurred or because we believe we may have been able to do something to prevent the addiction from happening. However, if it’s OK, I would like to share a different perspective about the feelings that may arise when we look into, or remember the faces of the addicted. Feelings of love, kindness, forgiveness, beautiful memories and hope. Recently I stared into the eyes of a very
close friend who shared that they had a child who was in the throes of a drug addiction. His eyes filled with tears, his hands holding onto anger and resentment, and his heart was breaking. You see, it’s not just the faces of addiction or the faces of the addicted, it is also the faces of the family and friends who must endure the addiction and find a way to love the addicted while protecting their own heart and peace of mind. It is truly such a difficult situation. Some of you may be saying to yourself that it is not so difficult and that these were personal choices, and if they can choose SEE NORTON, P13

So why do they need tax dollars to fix the blight his company created? While it is true that Columbine Square is

the only truly blighted area that was under consideration for urban renewal funds, it is also true that the property owner created the blight before trying to get money from the taxpayers for this ill-advised project. This represents betrayal of taxpayers on two levels: First, the property owner does not need the money, and second, because it creates questionable defiance of the will of the voters to use urban renewal as a financing instrument for developers.

Holiday season can be time to address lingering aftermaths of tragedy
W
ith the holiday season here, the expectation is that we begin to prepare for more good times with family and friends during what is supposed to be a season of peace and joy. We begin to prepare for the holidays that best match our family values and cultural beliefs, and we are hopeful for the future as we think of New Year’s resolutions. This year, for many of us, our holiday spirit has been shaken by tragic events that have impacted our community. Just recently, State Trooper Cody Donahue was hit and killed on a local highway and a mother and her two young sons were found dead after being reported missing. We ask ourselves how such tragedy could happen in our own backyard. We wonder about the whys and the story behind the tragic news. Many of the questions often go unanswered and leave us just hoping that such events don’t repeat themselves. We all react differently to traumatic events regardless of our age or connection to the event. Typically, though, people may become irritable, fearful, withdrawn or anxious. These are common feelings and they are OK. We at AllHealth Network want to encourage you to practice some self-care strategies and be mindful of your feelings and how

they may be impacting your behavior with the end goal of having a healthy and happy holiday season. You can help yourself, friends and family in these ways: • Be honest and open when talking with children and teens and listen to their concerns. If your children are aware of the tragedies in our community, they may have questions or bring them up unexpectedly. Answer the questions they ask and know that more information is not necessarily better. Keep it simple; listen for what they are really asking you. Usually they want to be reassured that they are safe, that you are in charge and that the routine they are accustomed to will stay the same. If they are impacted by challenging situations at home or at school, you may notice changes in eating, sleeping and socialization patterns and they may be more irritable. Whenever a person’s regular life habits change drastically, it is usually a sign that they are in distress. Any traumatic event can cause those things to happen. Listen to them, provide support and if you become concerned or if symptoms persist, listen to your gut, take action, get them help from a professional. • Have coping strategies in mind so

their addiction they should be able to choose to stop. Well I can tell you, friends, that it is just not that easy. It takes hard work, competent treatment, loving support, and sometimes an entire village to get through it. And that goes for the addicted and for the family and friends who have been forced into the situation. I am sharing this with you during the holiday season because sometimes this can be the hardest season of all for many in the battle and for many supporting someone in the battle. Think of the mom who may have lost a son to an overdose and finds herself looking for answers. Think about the dad whose daughter is away in a rehabilitation center and who is fighting back the tears because they will not be spending the holidays together. Or think about the spouse who may have endured years of struggle and hardship watching as their other half slips further away. I am not sure about you, but I know some of these people in the battle. Their faces are strained, worn, tired, hurt, lonely and looking for hope. And yet they remember the faces of their spouse, child,
friend, or loved one before the addiction; bright, happy, beautiful, loving, strong and full of life. So this holiday season, try and avoid judgment and instead replace judgment with encouragement. Look into their faces and show them that there is hope, there is a future, and that regardless of their situation, that you can love them and not judge them. This show of love may be come in the form of warmly spoken words, a timely hug, or it may just a simple loving gesture. So how about you? Have you been able to get past the face of addiction and look into the faces of the addicted and their families? They are closer than we think, they may be right in our own homes or right next door. I would love to hear your thoughts at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can look past the lies, manipulation and fear and instead look into the faces of the addicted with love, encouragement and kindness it really will be a better than good week.

you are ready when you need them: Some ideas include connecting with others, journaling, exercise, eating healthy, avoiding caffeine, sugar, nicotine and alcohol and, most importantly, doing what you can to get plenty of sleep. • Pay it forward: Giving to others fosters our sense of generosity and helps the GIVER feel better. Most of us receive more pleasure in giving than receiving. Consider giving your time to someone in need. How about inviting a neighbor over for a meal or to join you for an event. Consider volunteering at your child’s school or helping out a co-worker in need. Shoveling a sidewalk or making cookies for someone who would least expect such a yummy treat would be a welcomed gesture. • Participate in activities you enjoy: We want to encourage you to participate in a few activities and traditions that you enjoy. The Denver metro area has numerous family
friendly events. Check out this list to get you started at www.denver.org/ events/ • Keep it simple: Oftentimes we burden ourselves with the unrealistic, unhealthy notion that holiday celebrations need to be perfect. We encourage you to try a new strategy: Slow down, keep it simple, concentrate on time together rather than material things. It is really the time with family and friends that we all remember rather than the details that we often fuss and stress over. Our holiday wish for you is that you will slow down, enjoy time with family and friends and know that we have much to be thankful for. Happy holidays!

OBITUARIES GOODWIN
Doris Goodwin
3/1/1936 - 12/7/2016
Doris (Dot) Ann Goodwin, (nee Williams), passed into God’s welcoming arms on December 7, 2016 at 80 years old. She died after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Doris, was nicknamed Dot by her grandfather because of her favorite polka-dotted dress as a child. She never wanted to take it off! She was born the 2nd daughter of 5 children to Ervin and Edna Williams in Walker County, Alabama in March 1936. Her family had lived and ‘homesteaded’ in Alabama since the 1840’s. Her family moved to Climax, Colorado in the late 1940’s. After a’ trip of a life time’ graduation journey with her sister Geneva from Climax to New York, Philadelphia WIMMER
and Washington DC in 1954, she graduated from Max Schott High School in Climax, CO and later attended Business school in Denver. Her first job as a statistician was at the Glenn L. Martin Company, which became Martin Marietta Aerospace, where she met her future husband Wallace Goodwin marrying in 1958. Together with her sister Geneva and her husband Ted Purdy they all worked at Martin and raised their families in Littleton from the late 50’s. Her brother David and his wife Kathy, still reside in Littleton with his family having moved
from Leadville in the 70’s. She is survived by her 3 children, Brenda, Carla and Brett, and her grandson Josef. Her sister Barbara, living in Mississippi with her husband Larry remember Dot as a “great, woman with so much intelligence, always up on the current events and with opinions to share. She was funny too, to the core.” A loving and extremely generous person, she only wanted the best for everyone. The friends who had the privilege to know her really felt very lucky. We, as her children, feel so blessed to have had her in our lives.

LIFE
Celebrating the season with brews H Local breweries, supply shops roll out winter beers BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
T
he holidays offer a lot of fun experiences — the sight of extravagant light displays, smells of roasts and freshly baked pies and the warm feeling of joy when surrounded by friends and family. However, along with that, comes some stress — long lines, crowds of people shopping for the perfect gift, the hustle-and-bustle of attending and planning holiday parties. But across the Denver-metro area, breweries and brew shops are offering an opportunity to slow down and enjoy a locally-crafted wintertime brew. Colorado Native Winterfest Glenn Knippenberg, president and cofounder of AC Golden Brewing Company, starts receiving emails and phone calls in September about the availability of Colorado Native Winterfest. “It’s got a unique style,” said Jeff Nickel, AC Golden’s head brewer. “Winterfest is an all-around good food-pairing beer. It stands up particularly well to hearty meat dishes and also pairs well with chocolate.” Winterfest is a traditional Bockstyle beer. It is made with Moravian two-row pale and chocolate malts, which create a sweet, toasted malt and biscuit flavor, Nickel said. “As a lager, it’s smooth and balanced.” Colorado Native Winterfest can be purchased in liquor stores or enjoyed at some bars, restaurants and other establishments across the state. But once it’s gone, it’s gone, Nickel said. Winterfest is not brewed in mass quantity. It is usually released in October, and AC Golden tries to make enough to last through December. Coors broke ground as a big brewery when it started Winterfest in 1984, Knippenberg said. However, Coors discontinued it in 2008. But AC Golden Brewing Company — a subsidiary of the now MillerCoors company — wanted to keep the tradition going, and took the brand that same year, Knippenberg said. Then, in 2015, AC Golden started sourcing all the ingredients for Winterfest from Colorado. “That made it eligible to be Colorado Native,” Knippenberg said. “We decided things are better if they’re local.” Nothing from out-of-state goes into any of the Colorado Native beers, he said, and Colorado Native is not available in any other state.

It was brewed on Nov. 16 at Elk Mountain Brewing and has been fermenting since. Beer is on its own schedule, Madruga said, so the release date is unset, but people should expect it sometime before Christmas.

BREWS: Craft breweries around the area introduce variety of seasonal beers for holidays FROM PAGE 16
Snowball Express Winter Ale Kokopelli Beer Company’s head brewer Rick Holt has a passion for trains, snow and a winter’s night storm. Thus, the Westminster brew pub’s Snowball Express Winter Ale was developed. It captures “the serenity of the holiday season, all in one pint pour,” Holt said. This is the second year Kokopelli has brewed the ale. It was released on Dec. 5 to celebrate Christine Wares’ birthday — she’s Kokopelli’s owner. The winter ale will be available until March 1, unless it runs out beforehand. People will most enjoy the aroma and its warming sensation, Holt said. The Snowball Express is dark, poured with a nice, creamy head, similar to hot cocoa, Holt said. The recipe includes Belgian Monastery yeast, which accents the aroma with a semi-sweet fruity nose and just a hint of banana bread. “The full body mouthfeel provides a smooth texture, finishing with a nice winter warming that helps the chills on a long, dark winter’s eve,” Holt said. Tom’s Brew Shop Homebrewing is a popular hobby all year round, said Tom Schurmann,
owner of Tom’s Brew Shop in Lakewood. But people especially love to brew in the winter, he said. “It’s truly a coldweather hobby.” The most obvious reason, Schurmann said, could be because people don’t want to spend hours over a hot stove in the hot summer months. He notes that his sales decrease slightly in the peak of summer. Stouts are popular this time of the year, and so are spiced holiday ales, Schurmann said. The shop in Lakewood caters to craft brewers from beginner to experienced, and carries everything a person would need — starter kits; equipment for the entire process, from brewing to kegging and bottling to cleaning; and all the ingredients, such as extracts, hops, yeast and several hundred styles of grain, for example. “Brew shops helped get a lot of the big-name brewers going,” Schurmann said. Employees at the shops answered their questions, taught and trained them and helped them develop their first recipes, he added. But it’s a hobby for all. “The whole thing about craft brewing is the craft,” Schurmann said. “It’s an ancient craft that people are enjoying once again.”
CVA on Santa Fe The Center for Visual Arts, 965 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, has a faculty exhibit running called “Collective Nouns” through Jan. 21. It will be closed between Christmas and New Year’s Day, but otherwise open (admission is free) 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays (8 p.m. first and third Fridays), noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. 303-294-5207. msudenver.edu/cva. ‘Best Roads Lead Uphill’ Include the Littleton Museum in holiday visits. The Own an Original exhibit offers an eclectic assortment of fine art; rita derjue’s “The Best Roads Lead Uphill” shows the lively Littleton octogenarian’s work from the past 10 years; and the Littleton history section interests all ages. If it’s not too cold, a walk through the farms is fun for all — especially city kids. Admission is free.

Cowboy holiday show to jam Lone Tree venue Riders in the Sky have been together for decades BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On Dec. 21, a sold-out Lone Tree audience will welcome Too Slim, Woody Paul, Joey, the Cowboy Polka King and Ranger Doug for a special Christmas show — “Riders in the Sky: Christmas the Cowboy Way.” This legendary group has performed together for more than 30 years, with the original roster of performers still together, harmonizing and delivering their special brand of humor. They have won two Grammys, been invited to sing at the White House for several administrations — Democratic and Republican — performed at Nashville’s National Guard Armory, Carnegie Hall, with symphony orchestras, at the Hollywood Bowl and in all 50 states and 10 countries. They have been part of the “Grand Ole Opry” radio shows for many years and recorded best-selling albums for children. The group’s concert count is over 6,100 — and counting — as they continue to travel, entertain and record. According to their publicist, the group credits “separate hotel rooms” for its success in staying together since the original Nov. 11, 1977 performance at a Nashville nightspot.
The cowboy singing group Riders in the Sky will perform for a sold-out crowd on Dec. 21 at Lone Tree Arts Center. They have been singing together for about 30 years, all across the nation. COURTESY PHOTO Ranger Doug plays arch-top guitar and sings the baritone parts in vocals. Too Slim plays bass, sings tenor vocals and at one time, played on a chain saw. Woody Paul, King of the Cowboy Fiddlers, also is a tenor and is known
to show off rope tricks. Joey, the Polka King plays accordion and also adds his baritone voice to vocals as they play through a program, “bringing good beef to hungry people,” as they say.
Those who contract for entertainment for Lone Tree Arts Center really knew what they were doing when they booked Riders in the Sky — the show sold out quickly.

Big Western skies explored in show
Castle Rock artist displays works in Littleton gallery BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Pastel artist Sue Shehan of Castle Rock not only creates her pastel paintings, but completes the presentation with custom frames around each piece. Paintings are floated, with the deckle edge of the paper visible. She begins with black paper and works with soft, richly colored pastels produced by artist Terry Ludwig of Littleton, whose square pastel sticks are favorites with local artists. Shehan is exhibiting her paintings through December, in a collection called “Colorado Skies,” at the Outnumbered Gallery in Downtown Littleton. She writes that she grew up in Kansas City and graduated with a
degree in illustration in 1980. A move to Omaha was followed by another move to Denver in 1997. She is influenced by artists such as Wyeth and Hopper and loves being from the Midwest, where storms would come in over the plains and create drama overhead, a continual source of inspiration. Shehan has enjoyed classes at the Denver Art Students League and presently teaches art at Sky Cliff Adult Day Care Center in Castle Rock. She is a member of the Pastel Society of Colorado. “Through pastels, I seek to explore the drama of color and light. I pursue subject matter that is simple, yet expressive. While I am inspired by all of nature, it is the cloudscapes that captivate me. My desire is to capture the viewer’s imagination and to invite them to open the door into the world of pastels,” Shehan said. She has also created a line of bird cards.
“Peek-a-Boo” by Sue Shehan is painted with soft pastels and illustrates the artist’s interest in birds. It is included in her exhibit, “Colorado Skies” at Outnumbered Gallery in Littleton through December. COURTESY IMAGE

Nationally known pastel artist/teacher Richard McKinley has compared a visit to Terry Ludwig’s pastel shop and studio to a visit to Willy Wonka’s candy factory. A look at Ludwig’s website would explain why. One finds not just a blue pastel stick, but a box filled with a huge range of blues, from pale to deeply colored. It’s the same story for reds, violets, greens, yellows and less showy, but necessary, browns and grays. One can understand how an artist like Sue Shehan is able to create the expanse of Western skies and the landscapes beneath them with the availability of
colors to match any given weather condition or time of day. A profile of Ludwig online says that he was an oil painter for 35 years, until he was out painting one day with Lorenzo Chavez of Parker and observed the colors Chavez was laying down with pastels. He bought some and tried them and was not satisfied, so he determined to make his own and embarked on a number of years of trial and error until he reached his present formula. He credits his wife Marie with supporting the family while he worked out how
to manufacture a usable product, now in demand worldwide.
Hundreds of hues are available at the shop/manufacturing facility at 8113 W. Brandon Drive. Drive south on Santa Fe Drive two miles beyond the C-470 exit, turn right on Brandon Drive.
Ludwig shares the building, third on the right, with Southwest Heating and Cooling. Usually open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. He suggests that one call before coming, to be certain it’s open, 303-795-1232. At times, artists teach at Ludwig’s — inquire if interested.

replaced by the Frankel twins, and then the Mackrells. Tony Orlando and Dawn recorded “Knock Three Times.” “Twenty-Six Miles” was a hit for The Four Preps. (Catalina Island, by the way, is 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles.) At this time of year, some people drink a fifth and then take the Fifth. I listen to Beethoven’s “Fifth.” “Six of one and half a dozen of another” means that the folks are
word that’s worth 33 Scrabble points. The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine. It comes from Latin “duodecim” for “twelve.” This time of year is sometimes a stretch of near-surrealism. I used to have to go through O’Hare every year. I’d get stranded in Chicago, spend the night in a hotel, then go on to Detroit. None of getting there was very joyful. And then there would be the strangeness of being someone’s son again for a week, and sleeping
in a room with the ghosts of my much younger life on the walls and shelves. I don’t miss that. I do miss looking at my father when he didn’t know I was looking at him. Thanks for reading this year.

Warriors lose tough one on the court
Lakewood girls score key points to edge Arapahoe BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Two talented teams met on Dec. 6 when Arapahoe squared off against Lakewood in a non-league girls basketball game at Arapahoe High School. Both teams pushed the tempo of play on offense and played aggressive defense, so leads seldom exceeded six points until the closing minutes, when the Tigers hit
key free throws to win, 51-44. “It was a great basketball game. We shot pretty well in the first half but didn’t shoot as well as we are capable of shooting in the second half,” Warriors Coach Jerry Knafelc said after the game. “Much of the reason for not shooting well is Lakewood’s height, their long arms and their defensive presence that makes it tough to get off really good shots. But it is early in the season and we will put this behind us and we’ll be ready for the upcoming games.”

Elliss, son of Luther and Rebecca Elliss, comes from a family with a dozen children — and eight of them were adJim Benton opted. The youngest, Colsen, is 4 years old and the oldest, Kaden, is a junior in college. “It’s always fun,” Elliss said. “God blessed me. I love my brothers and sisters. I would do anything for them.” He is quick to recall the fun of growing up. “I can remember when we were kids we would be able to set up whole teams,” he said. “We would go out in the backyard and play baseball. We grew up in Michigan. We could set up a whole baseball field in our backyard and we would play baseball. That is probably one of my favorite memories. Or we would be able to split our family up and do six-on-six for football or five-on-five for football. “It was even better when we would get to play basketball because we would actually have a full team on both sides. Colsen and Mia are younger and don’t really play. All the rest of us played basketball. We were used to the sport and we loved playing basketball.” His parents have extensive sports backgrounds. Elliss’ dad, Luther, was a standout football player for the University of Utah and in the pros. He played nine years for the Detroit Lions and one for the Denver Broncos, and is now the Broncos’ team chaplain. Rebecca Elliss was a collegiate swimmer.

Athletes fight doping with campaign, peer pressure
Tristan Hercules– Flamen, Englewood’s 132-pounder, tightens his hold of Denver West’s Johann Ameca-Porres during their consolation bracket bout at the Dec. 10 Viking Invitational Wrestling Tournament. Hercules-Flamen earned a major 10-0 decision for the win, the first match victory in his varsity wrestling career.

Pirates test skills at wrestling tourney BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Englewood coach Jim Potter said he was proud that he entered nine wrestlers in the Dec. 10 Viking Invitational Wrestling Tournament at Denver North High School. “Our young team is growing slowly,” he said. “Look at our kids waiting in the bleachers for their bout to be called. I think that the size of our team today is pretty special because it was only a few years ago I came to this tournament with only one wrestler on the roster.” He said he has 13 athletes out for the team and senior Sam Westra is his most experienced wrestler. “The kids are battling,” he said. “Sam is our strongest competitor and has won a number of matches. We also have some first-year guys who have lost close decisions in the early matches but they come to practice every day and they work hard so I believe when they get a win under their belts they will be more confident and be more competitive.” Most of the Pirates at the tournament won at least one match, but Westra was the only Englewood wrestler to place in the top four in his weight division as he won three bouts, pinning two opponents and scoring a major decision over the third, to advance to the match to determine the 170-pound champion.
Westra met Earl Camer Manzanares of Chatfield. It was a classic match between two talented wrestlers that Manzanares won, 6-4. The other Pirates didn’t place in the top four of their respective weight divisions. But the tournament was a landmark event for two Pirate sophomores, Tristen Hercules-Flamen (132) and Juan Carlo Cordova (145) as the young wrestlers each posted his first win of his varsity wrestling career. Hercules-Flamen scored a 10-0 major decision over Johann Famca-Porras of Denver West, while Cordova won his match in impressive style as he pinned Miguel Ramirez-Martine of Denver North in 1:25. “This is my first year wrestling” Cordova said after his win. “I decided to start wrestling because the coach said I would be good at it. Wrestling is tough and I have a lot to learn. But I like the sport and I think as I learn more moves and get more wins I will become a good wrestler.” He said it felt good to get his first win. “I feel happy I won,” he said. “I really feel happy that I pinned the guy for my first varsity win.” Coach Potter said there is at least one wrestler with the team this season who came up through the Englewood Youth Wrestling Program. He said he hopes young wrestlers from the youth program will stay with the sport and join the Pirates when they come to the high school.
It resembles the symbol for infinity: a sideways “S” that Kara Goucher, Molly Huddle and other elite U.S. athletes suddenly are sporting on biceps, wrists and shins. The tattoos are temporary. But the campaign they represent is an all-out attempt to permanently purge competitive athletics of doping. “People are getting the impression that everyone’s dirty,” Goucher, a topranked marathoner based in Boulder, told The Associated Press. “We need to build the sport back up in a positive light.” That’s the goal of the Clean Sport Collective, a new anti-doping initiative making a splash on social media. It launched this month with an aggressive campaign on Facebook, Twitter and other platforms. Olympians and amateurs alike have been publicly pledging to live, train and compete “clean” — totally free of banned performance-enhancing drugs — and taking selfies aimed at both inspiring and shaming trackand-field competitors, swimmers, cyclists, triathletes and others. Significantly, their bully pulpit is getting a boost from the corporate world: Brooks Running, Oiselle, Skechers and other companies have signed on as partners. Shanna Sparks Burnette, a former Division I collegiate runner, co-founded the Collective to get the focus off the cheaters and back onto athletes committed to drug-free achievement, whether at an Olympics or a local 5K. “We really wanted to make a positive impact and change the narrative to celebrate the brands and all of the amazing and inspiring people who are doing it the right way,” she said. “The mentality is `win at all costs — do whatever you can do to get ahead.’ As a society of people, we need to not do that to each other.” It’s been an especially tough year on the doping front.
Russia’s track and field federation remains barred from international competition, and all but one member of the team was forced to sit out the Rio Olympics after independent investigators appointed by the World Anti-Doping Agency issued a damning report into widespread use of banned substances. Kenya, too, has been caught up in dozens of offenses implicating dopers who robbed clean athletes of winnings and glory. Last month, former Chicago and Boston Marathon champion Rita Jeptoo had her doping ban doubled to four years and was stripped of her Boston title from 2014, when she’d been hailed as a hero for winning the iconic race’s first running since the deadly 2013 finish line bombings. Huddle, a two-time Olympian, said it’s gotten to the point where she wonders about some of the runners who outkick her in international competition. “Sports are supposed to be inspiring to people watching them, but there’s so much cynicism implanted now,” said Huddle, who wore the Collective’s tattoo on the back of her hand while finishing third at this month’s TCS New York City Marathon, her debut at the 26.2-mile distance. The upstate New York native, who now lives and trains in Providence, Rhode Island, is calling for a onestrike-you’re-out approach to the doping scourge — a lifetime ban, not just a brief suspension, for those who test positive once for a banned substance. “That would put the fear in the back of an athlete’s mind: `What if I get caught?’” she said. “Right now there’s just not enough risk.” The Clean Sport Collective means business. Pro athletes who take the pledge promise to donate $25,000 to the nonprofit if they ever test positive. Those opting for the extra step of certification have to get bloodwork and a “biological passport” that attests they’re drug-free.

the closing minutes to widen the lead and win the game 51-44. Key players/statistics Macy Ziegler was the leading scorer for the Warriors with 10 points. Teammate Maddie Matthews scored nine points and Maggie Wortman scored eight points. Unofficially, despite the Lakewood height advantage, Mathews had five defensive rebounds and two offensive rebounds while Ziegler dished out six assists. Ziegler talked about the play on the court after the game. “It was a pretty frustrating game for us. They are a good team and they
cashed in on most mistakes we made,” she said. “Lakewood had a big height advantage and the arm length of the two 6-4 Emsbo sisters was fantastic, it spooked us a bit and made it hard to get a good, open shooting opportunity. On the bright side, we played hard and the mistakes are things we can fix. I am proud of the way our team played. My focus is to do what I can to help our team get over the quarterfinal hang-up the last couple of years and advance to the semifinals and finals at state.” They said it Knafelc said before the game that Arapahoe will be a very competitive team that will run a fast-paced attack and play an aggressive defense.
“We have six seniors who have been with the program all four years in high school and it is a pleasure and a blessing to coach them and our other players,” he said. “We are fortunate we had a very good turnout this season which enables us to field four teams this season. We have great depth with 12 players who see time regularly on our varsity. Going forward The Arapahoe record is 3-1 following the Lakewood game. The Warriors close out the 2016 portion of the schedule with a Dec. 20 home game against cross-town rival Heritage. Arapahoe will return to action and begin league play on the road Jan. 6 at Grandview.

Lions continuing to build wrestling program New Littleton coach looks for more athetes for the squad
Donte Costen, Littleton’s 132-pounder, works to put Wheat Ridge opponent Josh Maddox on his back during the Dec. 8 dual meet. Maddox survived the effort and went on to win a 14-5 decision. Littleton only had three wrestlers available to compete in the dual meet, so forfeits provided Wheat Ridge a big margin of victor in the match. TOM MUNDS
BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton hosted a dual wrestling match with Wheat Ridge on Dec. 8, and only three Lions wrestled. “Littleton brought back wrestling three years ago, there has been coaching changes and I am a new coach this year,” Lions coach Joe Moore said before the match. “We have five wrestlers and we are looking to build stability in the program. We also are bringing back the youth wrestling program, and I am looking forward to information night on Dec. 20 with practices Mondays and Thursdays after high school practices. I hope we have a good turnout of young kids interested in wrestling, who stay with it and eventually join us at the high school.” The team has two freshmen, one junior and one senior. “I will work to do all I can to promote and grow our program because I hope we will become a team that competes for titles,” Moore said. Wheat Ridge officially won the match 70-16 as the Farmers received six points for Littleton forfeits. The 16 team points were determined
on the mat in three weight classes. Wheat Ridge 132-pounder Josh Maddox outpointed Littleton’s Donte Costen 14-5 at 132 pounds for four team points and Farmer 145-pounder Josh Moler pinned his Lion opponent Jarod Dreiling for six team points. D.M. Hallett earned his team six points as he pinned his 171-pound Wheat Ridge opponent Alex Plaborus at the 3:45 point in their match. Hallett, who said he was wrestling at 171 but normally wrestles at 160, said
From our family to yours...
he loves the sport and felt he had a good match as he got his pin. “I started wrestling in about the sixth grade. I decided to wrestle because I wasn’t big enough to play football and I wasn’t coordinated enough to play basketball,” he said. “I made a good choice and I love the sport. I love the individuality of the sport. When I go out on the mat I don’t have to rely on anyone else because the outcome of a bout is all about me and how well I wrestle.”
The junior wrestled as a freshman on the JV team and last year moved up to the varsity and is a returning letterman. “I guess overall I have about a .500 record, give or take a little,” he said. “I wrestled varsity last year and I didn’t get the results I wanted at regionals. I am working to improve my wrestling skills and techniques so I can rectify what I did at regionals last year by earning a spot and going to the state tournament.”

BENTON: Teamwork is just part of the DNA for Valor player Christian Elliss and his large family FROM PAGE 28
years and 18 campaigns at Chaparral. She helped build a dynasty at Chaparral. Her teams went 278-148 and won state championships in 2010 and 2011. The Wolverines were state runners-up in 2005. Elliss and Chaparral had a remarkable four-season run between 2009-12 when the Wolverines went 108-13. That included a 56-match winning streak than ended in September 2012. She retired after the 2014 season. The other 2017 inductees are girls basketball coach Greg Fruhwirth of Fowler, North Park volleyball/ basketball coach Randy Hodgson, Overland football coach Tony Manfredi and Alan Versaw, who is now the cross country coach at The Classical Academy. All-girl wrestling tournaments Girls interested in wrestling will

CHSAANow.com reports that two girls-only tourneys will be held next year so the wrestling subcommittee can judge whether there is enough interest to possibly add girls wrestling as a sanctioned sport. The first girls tournament will be at Fredrick High School on Jan. 14, 2017 as part of the Warrior Invitational. Northglenn High School will host the second tournament Feb. 2-3, along with the junior varsity state meet. Girls must be a current member of their high school team and there will be seven weight classes (101, 111, 121, 131, 143, 160 and 189).

ing the State Spirit championshipsDec. 9-10 at the Denver Coliseum. The area state champions were Valor Christian in the 4A cheer and Wheat Ridge in the poms. Castle View won its third straight 4A/5A coed title. Rock Canyon rallied on the final day to win the 5A cheer championship for the third time in four years and Cherry Creek defended its 5A poms title. Ponderosa captured the jazz title by edging defending champion Mountain Vista. Team Colorado plays for title Team Colorado, made up of 36 eighth-grade players selected from the Arapahoe Youth League and Jeffco Midget Football Association, will be one of eight teams that will play for the FBU National Championship on Dec. 17-20 in Naples, Florida. The team advanced to the three-
game national tournament by winning the FBU West Region by dominating three teams and outscoring the opposition 100-12. McCaffrey headed to NFL Stanford junior running back Christian McCaffrey, one of the nation’s most versatile and explosive players and a former Valor Christian standout, will play his last college football game Dec. 30 against North Carolina in the Sun Bowl. He plans to enter the 2017 National Football League draft. Some draft pundits project the 6-foot, 200-pound McCaffrey, son of former Denver Bronco Ed McCaffrey, as a first-round pick in April.
