Edward Mastronardi, 18, had difficulty processing and managing his emotions at a young age. He’d act out rather than communicate. “By the end of eighth grade,” he said, “I was depressed and angry.” He had two failed suicide attempts and started doing drugs to ease his social anxiety, he said. At 17, he moved out of his mother’s house. He “couldn’t participate in society.” Mastronardi, who conquered his addiction and is now the office manager of At Peace Therapy in Centennial, shared his journey with mental illness at a “Healing Our Youth” presentation at

SIGNS THAT HELP IS NEEDED

Douglas County School Board President Meghann Silverthorn is one of four Republican candidates for the state Senate seat in District 4. She will be vying with Benjamin Lyng, Jim Smallwood and Jess Loban for the Senate seat that has been occupied by Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, for the past eight years. Scheffel is leaving because of term limits. The district includes Castle Rock, Parker, Franktown, Larkspur and Castle Pines. No Democrats or third-party candidates have filed paperwork to run for the seat. Here is a brief look at the four candidates: • Loban, of Castle Rock, is a veteran of the Air Force and a small-business owner. He has patents in the logistics and engineering fields. “The reason that I’m running for (state Senate) is for my children and for the fact that I have watched Colorado slip so far to the left over my lifetime here,” Loban said. “I want to ensure that my children have the security and the values that I was afforded growing up here. Douglas County must produce a Race continues on Page 7

HELLO

... My Name Is

at last year’s patterns and determine what hours we will need to put in to take care of our customers. Our company has its own organizational structure — we advise business people year round. And our primary clients are taxpayers with tax needs year round. We have four enrolled agents and one certified public accountant. It’s a very busy time of the year. And when you have more complex returns — like business owners — you have more tax documents that come in over a couple of months. We take anyone and everyone.

A glimpse of the people in our community

JIM McMULLEN Fly-ﬁsher, ofﬁcer manager for H&R Block Advisors About me I’m from Seattle, but I’ve lived all over the West. I retired as an executive with the U.S. Postal Service about 12 years ago, but I was bored so I started working at H&R Block. I’ve been here for 11 years. I absolutely love fly-fishing — it’s one of the reasons I can bear the winters. I’m not a skier. What I do We take care of client needs. We look

My advice during tax season The earlier you file your taxes, the safer you are. People are experiencing tax identity theft and if you wait too long, someone can may get ahold of your tax return.

Students get taste of Wall Street Teens buy, sell stocks at Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The trading floor was a madhouse. Buy. Sell. Soaring. Plunging. And just as in real life, fortunes were made and lost in a matter of minutes at the Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge hosted by Charles Schwab Feb. 11 at its Lone Tree campus. The virtual stock market event pitted more than 1,000 high school students from around the Denver area in a race to see who could grow their base $500,000 investment into the biggest profit. There were 26 fictitious stocks based on realworld companies that students could buy. “We’re in teams of about five or six kids, and it’s sped up so a day lasts two minutes,” Rock Canyon senior Max Lush said. “You’re just trying to buy and sell with the money that you have on hand and make the most money that you can.” Students flagged down traders on the floor to buy and sell. They read tips and news releases to gain knowledge about different markets and followed the news to react to global demands. For example, a drought on the West Coast might mean it’s smart to buy into a water purification company. In the fast-paced environment, getting the attention of one of the traders can be the difference between fortune and ruin. “He wants your stuff quick,” Rock Canyon senior Leighton Koldyke said. “So if you want to sell, you have to figure out really quick.” Steve Zimmerer, a business teacher from Evergreen, was back for a second year with his students. The experience is valuable and teaches important life skills, he said, “not just for kids who are interested in that career path, but for kids

Photo by Mike DiFerdinando who are interested in having their own personal portfolio.” Janna Robinett, a business teacher at Rock Canyon, said she hoped students would apply what they’ve been learning in class: What are stocks and bonds? How do they mature? How do they change? What would be good to invest in? What are trends to watch for in the stock market? “I know it’s a simulation but, hopefully,

they can take the things they are learning in class and apply it in a fun scenario,” Robinett said. “So when they do graduate, if they are interested in going into the financial field, they have a base when they get to college. It’s really competitive once they realize there are other schools competing. So they are trying to win and pay attention to everything.” Brian McDonald, senior vice president of client services and support at Charles

Schwab, said he hoped the event would pique students’ interest in the potential power of investing. For some, it did just that. “I’m heading to college next year and I’m thinking about probably going to the business school ... and I think finance would be my major,” Lush said. “Once you get the hang of it, it’s really fun. It’s something I could see myself doing in the real world.”

Blankets a sign of love for struggling babies

Hospitalized infants will benefit from project By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Heritage Elementary sixth-graders Vienna Denna and Lexi Rusk work diligently on a pink-and-blue spotted blanket. They examine every fold and tie. It’s important they get it right: A baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children is counting on them. On Feb. 11, the Highlands Ranch school took part in what it calls a Party with a Purpose — it held Valentine’s Daythemed parties in which classes made or did something for people in the community who need love. “We’re doing this for the NICU because we heard from Mrs. Wheeler that they are really low on blankets,” Denna said. “So we are stepping in and making them.” Sixth-grade teacher Lori Wheeler heard about the blanket-making program from her friend who works at the Denver hospital. She thought it would be a good opportunity for her students to do something special. “I know my sister has a blanket that she got when she was a baby and she still brings it around with her,” Rusk said. “And I hope it turns out the same as that.” The class talked about the challenges facing families with babies in the NICU, Wheeler said. One of her students, Anna Beck, said she was happy to do away with a normal class party so that she and her classmates could help others. “I think it’s really cool,” she said. “For the past few years since I’ve been here at Heritage Elementary, we’ve done parties and the traditional stuff (for Valentine’s Day) and it’s kind of gotten boring. I think this year is really good because

We’re supposed to be making them feel special.”

dedicated conservative, who is committed to restoring the foundation of Colorado back towards our original family values with a strong faith in God. I believe that I am the best choice to do this.” • Lyng, of Castle Rock, is a former Army officer and now works in the banking industry. “I had the privilege of serving as an explosive ordnance disposal company commander in Afghanistan, but today, sometimes I don’t even recognize the country that I fought for,” Lyng said. “Our state is at a precipice — will we allow our legislators to continue to erode our freedoms or will we fight back and embrace the values that have made our state great? I am running for state Senate to fight for Douglas County families and individuals. I will fight for the Second Amendment, life, limited government, individual freedom, strong families and a prosperous business environment.” • Silverthorn, of Parker, first won election to the school board in 2009 and was re-elected in 2013. “During my time on the school board, I’ve seen increasing mandates coming down from the state, despite the assurances that we have local control,” she said. “We are told that we have to go to the state to get those things fixed or changed, things like radically increased testing requirements, funding formulas and methods, and the integration of Common Core-based

standards. After hearing that for a number of years, I chose to run so that I could work to effect those changes. This goes beyond education — we are seeing increased state involvement or restrictions in areas such as firearms, election integrity and taxes. The people of Colorado deserve empowerment, not heavy-handed government control.” • Smallwood, of Parker, is president of Employee Benefits for the Moody Insurance Agency, a Denver-based employee benefits management, consulting and brokerage firm. “Over the last seven years, I’ve seen firsthand how both state and federal government is crippling our economy and eroding our rights,” he said. “I’ve spent the last five years helping businesses deal with the disaster known as Obamacare that has cost jobs and hurt businesses of all sizes. I’ve seen the state Legislature erode my Second Amendment rights while passing more and more regulations on businesses and allowing the state budget to grow out of control. I’m running because I want Colorado to be a shining light for the rest of the country. I want to not only ensure the state Senate stays in GOP control, but I want to work to grow that majority and ultimately take back the House and governor’s mansion.” Candidates for the seat are scheduled for a debate at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 18 at Castle View High School, 5254 N. Meadows Drive, Castle Rock. The Douglas County Republican candidate selection assembly will be March 19 at Valor Christian High School. Candidates who emerge as winners there will get their names on the ballot in the June primary. The general election is November.

Seminar Continued from Page 1

last fall by Healing Our Youth: Get Educated. The organization periodically hosts seminars at school districts across the metro area, including Littleton and Cherry Creek, to spread awareness and provide resources for help. Given the school’s recent events — the arrests in December of two 16-year-old students on charges of plotting to murder people at the school and the January death of a beloved head lacrosse coach — the seminar comes at an opportune time, said Donna Parisi, volunteer and committee member of Healing Our Youth: Get Educated. “This particular school is hurting as a whole,” she said. Mastronardi’s experience is similar to that of about one in five — or 20 percent — of young people in the U.S. who experience a mental illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To put it into perspective, about 0.25 percent of young people are diagnosed with diabetes each year.

February 18, 2016 A mental illness is a brain disorder caused by two factors — genes and the environment, said speaker Amy Gensler, an associate clinical professor and doctor at Parker Pediatrics. Genes are the blueprint of a person, and the environment consists of external factors, such as infection, drug exposure or emotional trauma. Fifty percent of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14 and 75 percent by age 24, Gensler said. “Mental disorders are true disorders of the brain,” she said. “They can’t be overcome through willpower.” Those mental illnesses include anxiety, depression, attention-deficit disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, eating disorders and more. Presenter Jocelyn Hilling, a counselor of At Peace Therapy, reminded the audience of how important it is to seek help when stressed. People regularly take care of issues that cause pain or discomfort or which others can see. But when it comes to stress, people think they should know how to deal with it, she said. “We are dealing with it too late because we don’t know how to,” Hilling said. “This can be prevented when we open the door to healthy, open communication. If it goes untreated, it gets worse.”

RESOURCES • Colorado Crisis Support, 1-844-493-8255: Contact if someone is talking about suicide, harming themselves or displaying selfharming behaviors. • Counselor: Contact if you are concerned about someone’s behavior at home, school or work. • Psychologist: Contact if someone is having learning difﬁculties or displaying social or emotional developmental issues. For speciﬁc locations, go to healingouryouth. org/program/resources/. Oftentimes, people aren’t taught how to understand and deal with feelings of the heart and mind, Hilling added. “We all suffer — everyone suffers,” she said. “We all wake up feeling depressed sometimes and that’s OK. We all get angry at our kids sometimes and that’s OK.” She advised parents to look for pervasive signs in children’s behavior. If they are acting out in all situations, it’s most likely something more than teenager-related angst, she said. Signs of a mental illness should be addressed immediately, said Gensler, and parents should seek out a professional who

specializes in the brain. “It’s so important to diagnosis early, when the brain is able to change — it’s like plastic,” she said of the brain’s ability to adjust during early development. Presenter Gina Moore, the past president of Arapahoe and Douglas counties’ National Alliance on Mental Illness, said she ignored the signs of her son’s mental illness because “he’d always done well.” But after exhibiting abnormal signs, such as lighting trash cans on fire, experimenting with alcohol and tobacco and being unable to sleep well, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in eighth grade. Her son, 23, is now married and lives in Oregon. He has his first job and hopes to go back to school for a music degree. But Moore wishes she would have intervened sooner. “If you notice something about your kid, follow up and talk about it,” she said. “Pay attention to abnormal behaviors — it’s worth checking.” Mastronardi, who also overcame, depression and anxiety, reminded the audience that anything is possible and people often find strength in moments of despair. “You’re never sure of what you can accomplish until you’re shown what you can withstand,” he said. “If I can do it, anyone can.”

Fraud checks could delay refunds State faced same problem last year By Donna Bryson Associated Press Colorado officials are carefully reviewing tax returns after seeing an increase in fraud, meaning taxpayers might have to wait longer than usual for refunds, a spokeswoman said Feb. 10. The state Department of Revenue faced a similar challenge last year and responded by mailing paper checks to addresses on record instead of directly depositing some refunds. The procedure — costly in terms of time as well as money — was prompted by an increase in stolen identity information used to file fraudulent tax returns. The federal Internal Revenue Service and other states are seeing similar problems, said Verenda Smith, deputy director of the Federation of Tax Administrators, an information-sharing and lobbying group for state tax officials. In recent years, identity thieves have become more sophisticated, and state revenue

authorities have begun discussing the problem more openly, she said. “You don’t want to be the first one to say, ‘You won’t get a fast refund,’” Smith said. “But taxpayers came to recognize this was to protect them.’’ In Colorado, revenue department spokeswoman Ro Silva said some paper checks will be issued this year, as was the case last year. In some cases in which fraud is suspected, the refund process will be halted and the taxpayer will be asked to provide additional information. Taxpayers who get checks will receive a letter directing them to contact the department if they have not filed a return or were not expecting a refund. Taxpayers who file a correct and complete return in February should expect a refund in 21 days under state law, Silva said. This year, however, some returns could take up to 60 days longer to process. “Detecting refund fraud has become the new normal,’’ Silva said, asking taxpayers to be patient. “It’s part of what our society is dealing with.’’

‘Too late’ same as caring too little One of the toughest situations that ever happens to any traveler, especially someone traveling frequently on business, is when they have arrived at the airport too late and miss their flight. Whether it was traffic, weather, or just plain old bad planning and tardiness, upon arrival they find that the airplane has taken off without them. Has that ever happened to you? It has happened to me too, and for all of the reasons mentioned above. So here’s the thing, we may have been late for that particular flight, but usually there is a later flight that same day or a flight out the next morning. It’s late, but in most cases it’s never really too late. There have been so many times when I have found myself in conversations with friends, family members, customers, business owners and salespeople. And over the years I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say, with a bit of disappointment and too much “quit” in their voice, “I missed my opportunity, it’s too late.” Too late for what? Maybe it is too late for someone with a quitter’s mentality or for someone who only sees what’s behind them and not what’s in front of them. But it’s never too late for anyone who looks at each and every situation and only sees potential and opportunity.

It’s also never too late for anyone who has had a dream, a vision or a goal to accomplish something. How many stories have we heard or read about where someone has learned a new language, went back to school, jumped out of an airplane, started playing an instrument, opened a Michael Norton business or any number of other amazingly fulWINNING filled dreams? WORDS I remember a time when I was coaching a young salesman. We were debriefing a meeting he had just held with a prospective customer and he was completely dejected. As I asked more about what happened he shared that he had made some rookie mistakes, made his presentation too soon, and didn’t even ask for the business. He said, “It’s too late, I lost this one.” Then I asked him if he knew for sure that the prospect had made a decision to go with another vendor. He shared with me that they had not and that there were a few more vendors left to make their presentation. I encouraged him to reach back out, share his concerns about what he did wrong, and just

be honest and sincere in asking for one more chance. In the end it wasn’t too late; the prospect allowed him to come back in, and he actually won the business. How many relationships, even marriages, ended because someone thought it was too late? Is it really too late to do the little romantic things that used to be done, too late to show a little more affection, too late to say “I love you,” too late to forgive, or too late to be forgiven? You see, it really is never too late, not unless we allow it to be. We can turn away from the airport and just not take that trip, we can give up on any prospective sale or opportunity, and we can choose to walk away from a relationship, we can do any of those things if that’s what we really want. But if we choose not to, all we have to do is change our thinking from “It’s too late” to “It’s never too late.” How about you? Is it too late for you or are you just getting started? I would love to hear all about what your next pursuit will be at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we look at life at any point as if we were just getting started and it really is never too late, it will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Markets are testing investors’ patience

things have changed. I am not even listed. I was kind of pleased when I saw my name in one for the first time. But then I became the target of solicitors. I would have all of them lined up and hit repeatedly with socks full of manure. I still get unwanted calls. I can block up to 30 numbers, but that’s it. I am concerned about the upcoming campaign calls, but I have my Swear Word Dictionary next to my phone for that and them. Anyway this got me thinking about other things that I — or we — have phased out, and I came up with a long list. Travel agents. Door-to-door salesmen and women. Johnny Cash was one. Table radios. But if you are looking for one, let me know. I can recommend the best. Or just watch “Big Fish.” There’s one in Albert Finney’s bedroom. Turntables — although there are still lots of vinyl lovers. I know that by the time I croak, I will be completely out of touch with new technologies. I still have a land line. The new thing in automobiles is a sensor that brakes the car all by itself if you are about

Investors are not happy. But according to the volatility index, they are not panicked either. This could be the most orderly correction we have ever seen. The markets seem to drift based on whatever news blows in. One day it is China, the next oil. Sometimes it is Europe or Patricia Kummer the dollar. Last week it was earnings. Regardless of FINANCIAL how we got here, the end STRATEGIES result is the same … losses in every equity category. This feels like 2011 all over again. However, most investors when polled did not recall the economic turmoil in that year, or the 18 percent correction in the equities market which all started with Greece. Maybe investors thought a country the size of Georgia could not impact us significantly, but the contagion that spread around the world affected every country. Luckily it was not very long-lived. Since that downturn, we have not experienced any significant pullbacks until last August when we had a very brief 12 percent decline that was over in a few weeks. Now we are seeing much more volatility based on concerns from analysts around the world. Some think this is the payback for over five years of easy money. We shook our heads in 2011 when Greece could not cut expenses, reduce pensions or pay their debts. Now we are not thrilled with the idea of doing the same in this country. Our largest pension, Social Security, is not giving a cost of living increase this year. This coupled with declining investment income will put many retirees on a reduced budget. The quantitative easing (QE) provided by the Federal Reserve Board allowed us to get out of recession in 2009 and fueled the stock market to over a 200 percent return during the following five years. Now that QE has been removed, stocks are being repriced based on current economic conditions.

Snowblower reveals that someone blew it

Craig Marshall Smith

QUIET DESPERATION

I ran over a phone book with my snowblower this morning. I really wish I hadn’t. Shredded pages went everywhere. Here’s what happened. Someone left a new phone book on my front porch on the night of a recent snowstorm. The snow continued to fall,

and it buried the book. So I didn’t see it. The sound was horrific. I thought I might have run over a rabbit. The book should never have been left on the porch in the first place. Years ago I asked all of them to stop delivering phone books to me. I hadn’t used one in 10 years or more, and I was getting two, three or more each and every year. Who uses phone books? Maybe some computer holdouts. Of course, at one time I did use them. But

Student safety is crucial for nation

School safety is not a topic my parents ever worried about. Unfortunately, today parents do worry about it because tragic events have captured the attention of the entire community. Safety in our schools is now top-of-mind for teachers, parents and students. I agree with this priority. The good news: Schools and districts across the 6th Congressional District have made safety a priority and are implementing new techniques and policies to keep our students safe. There are also things we can do at the federal level to assist. That’s why I joined the newly formed, bipartisan Congressional School Safety Caucus. The School Safety Caucus brings together education, law enforcement, government and private sector leaders to discuss ways to protect our nation’s schools. The caucus will focus on sharing best practices, increasing awareness of available solutions, and developing strategies and legislation that promotes school safety and security. In addition to joining the School Safety Caucus, I have already taken a number of actions to address this issue. Specifically, I have co-sponsored several bills to improve safety in our schools, including: • The School Safety Act: This bill would reauthorize appropriations for the matching grant program for school security through fiscal year 2020. The program was created in 2001. But funding for it lapsed in 2011. It is past time that we fund this highly effective program once again. Grants would be used to achieve one or more of the following: placement and use of metal detectors, locks, lighting and other deterrent measures; security assessments; security training of personnel and students; coordination with local law enforcement; acquisition and installation of

technology for expedited notification of local law enforcement during an emergency; and any other measure that may provide a significant improvement in security. • Mental U.S. Rep. Health First Aid Mike Coffman Act: This measure requires the GUEST Substance Abuse COLUMN and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to award grants to initiate and sustain mental health first aid training programs. The programs would train individuals like police, nurses, and teachers — who are often the first to encounter people struggling with mental illness — in safe de-escalation of crisis situations, recognition of the signs and symptoms of mental illness, and timely referral to mental health services in the early stages of developing mental disorders. • Safe Schools Improvement Act: This is an anti-bullying bill that would require schools to collect data regarding bullying and harassment incidents and allow schools to teach students about the consequences of bullying and harassment as well as develop and implement programs to reduce these consequences. Keeping our students safe must be a priority for everyone. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Aurora, Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch.

to run into someone. It further encourages distracted driving. One of my favorite memories (age 10) was a cross-country train ride. I get the urge about once a year to do it again. But who has the time for that anymore? Watches, maps, encyclopedias and daily newspapers. Remember when you could pick up a free paper newspaper at a gas station? Fortunately new technologies haven’t replaced everything. Like blue jeans and coffee cups. And bowling shirts, like the ones that pro bowlers wear, are just as ugly as ever.

The next most common concern among the Wall Street gurus is that the economy’s growth rate is a paltry 2 percent. Business and consumer spending should take up the slack when QE ends, but with years of no wage increases, consumer spending is down. Business spending is also lower as the last three quarters of earnings showed declines. Commodities, in particular oil prices, have been blamed for most of the negative days on the stock market. However, this could be a result of the rising dollar, declining demand in China, and higher inventories. China’s slowdown has had significant impact on Europe and emerging markets. It was just a matter of time that the credit crisis in the U.S. in 2008 and in Europe in 2011 made its way to the far corners of the globe. The increase in interest rates here at home was like rubbing salt in the wound. This caused the Chinese government to devalue the yuan to offset our rising dollar. There are plenty of reasons for market de-

Hand-written letters are a goner. When was the last time you received one? So are typewriters. Do you have an address book? I will have to wait until the snowstorm melts entirely to pick up all of the pages and bits of pages, because many of them were scattered in the rocks. There were footprints in the snow, but I figured whoever it was had simply seen the 19 “No Solicitors” signs on and next to my front door and left. It was eerie, like the climatic snow scene in “The Invisible Man.” It startled me, and it was and will be a mess to clean up, but I am thankful it wasn’t Bugs Bunny.

clines. However, there are plenty of positive factors that will pull investors back in when the price is right. This includes a falling unemployment rate, nationally to 4.9 percent and in Colorado to 4.2 percent. This is considered full employment. Jeremy Siegel stated in his recent commentary that it is difficult to have a recession when everyone is working. More good news is that there may be little reason for another interest rate hike in the next few months. This should allow for more borrowing, including Wall Street mergers and acquisitions while rates remain low and stable. This should also help fuel growth at the right price. Jerry Webman, chief economist for OppenheimerFunds, will provide detailed commentary on market conditions and the election impact at our March workshop.

“

Coloring connects people to their child-self and it brings back some really great memories for people.” — Jennifer Lepke, licensed creative art therapist

Parker resident Chrissy Morin jumped feet first into the adult coloring craze. She has close to 20 different coloring books. Photos by Shanna Fortier

Zen between the lines Adult coloring books catch on as people look for relaxing activity By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

hrissy Morin took her first leap into the adult coloring world through a cat coloring book. As a self-proclaimed cat nut, the book caught her eye. She grabbed some old colored pencils lying around the house and decided to give it a try. That was just the beginning. “I color at least three days a week,” said Morin, who now has about 20 coloring books. “I like to do it while I’m watching TV — I’m a multitasker. It also helps keep you from snacking.” Coloring is not just for kids anymore. Intricate adult coloring books are the latest lifestyle craze with millions of fans, booming sales and libraries jumping in to host workshops. They are often the first books seen while walking into bookstores and are topping the Amazon best-seller list each month — six adult coloring books are on the list for 2016. “Coloring connects people to their childself and it brings back some really great memories for people,” said Jennifer Lepke, a licensed creative art therapist. But it’s not just a national trend. The adult coloring craze has taken off in the Denver metro area over the past nine months: The books have been top sellers at the Michael’s on South Broadway in Highlands Ranch for the better part of the past year. Morin,

Coloring books targeted to adults are available at all major book stores and art supply stores. who lives in Parker, created a Facebook group, Coloring Book Addicts of Colorado, and a blog, coloringbookaddict.com, where she talks all things coloring. The Parker Library held a coffee and coloring event in November to address the craze. “I saw a trend with adults, in particular, and wanted to introduce coloring to adults who may not have known of its meditative benefits,” said Brittni Ehrhart, branch program liaison at the Parker Library. The event, held again in January, drew 34 men and women, with more people on a waiting list. Because of its popularity, Ehrhart said she will host a monthly coloring event at the library beginning in May. The Bemis Public Library in Littleton

also jumped in and started a monthly adult coloring event. But why are so many adults connecting with this childhood pastime? Morin turns to coloring to fuel her need to create without the mess of traditional crafting. But many adults are hoping to find zen between the lines of their coloring books. “It is a stress releaser,” said Lepke, who studied people’s moods before and after coloring. It “has therapeutic qualities because it can be meditative, repetitive in nature, and requires focus.” But Lepke, who is in the process of creating a coloring book with a group of creative art therapists, warned that some books can be too detailed and actually create pressure for some people. “But sometimes the detailed ones can create the flow experience — when you’re highly focused on something and the world fades away — and it becomes meditative,” she said. No matter why adults are coloring, Lepke said it’s great they are connecting with their creative side. “Art-making is often geared toward kids, and I always find that so odd that there isn’t more art happening that’s geared toward adults,” she said. “I think we all have a desire to be creative. We all have a desire to engage in some sort of creative outlet. And I think the coloring book is a simple and contained way to tap into that.”

Some of us had heartless playlist on Valentine’s Valentine’s Day is a made-up holiday. We can all agree on that, right? I’m not talking about St. Valentine’s Day, named in honor of a historical figure, but Valentine’s Day as we know it now — with the chocolates and roses and candles and all. For single people, it’s just a day to be reminded they’re single. And for some couples who put too much stock in all the hoopla, it can be worse because there’s no way to live up to all that hype. So if you’re still dealing with the fallout of a Valentine’s Day gone wrong, or never cared about it in the first place, here’s a short playlist based on grief experts David Kessler’s and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ famous five stages of grief. Denial — “I’m Not Crying” by Flight of the Conchords “New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based, digi-bongo, acapellarap-funk-comedy folk duo,” (as they call themselves) are easily the funniest songwriters of this century. And they hilariously encapsulate the emotional vulnerability of the first stage of grief. Over some purposefully overwrought piano and strings, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie conjure up the most pitiable machismo by coming up with myriad excuses for why they’re crying: “I’ve just been cutting onions/I’m making a lasagna/For one” and “It’s just been raining on my face.” Denial is rarely this gut-bustingly funny, which makes it even more appreciated.

Anger — “Heartless” by Kanye West The thing about anger is it’s often misdirected and does more damage than good. It can also be extremely cathartic — and there are times after a relationship ends when catharsis is all Clarke Reader you need. LINER Kanye West certainly understands NOTES this and expresses the anger in this entirely one-sided song. He compares his ex to Dr. Evil, accuses her of spreading lies and wails lines like, “Somewhere far along this road/He lost his soul/To a woman so heartless.” The lyrics are totally unfair, dodge any personal culpability and are all about venting. Right or wrong, sometimes venting is necessary.

Bargaining — “Red House” by The Jimi Hendrix Experience The blues wildly inspired Jimi Hendrix, and his passion for the blues is obvious in what may be his most conventional blues number. The character in the song moves quickly from the excitement of finally coming home to shock that his key doesn’t work anymore. But the way the character bargains his way out of heartbreak comes down to the

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Rihanna’s “Anti,” released on Roc Nation records. Review: Rihanna has been more of a singles artist for me, but she ﬁnally released her best and most cohesive album by eschewing singles all together. Her voice and world-weariness are both front and center, and this makes the album a total knockout. Favorite song: “Higher” Best encapsulation of Rihanna’s approach to music: “I wanna go back to the old way But I’m drunk instead, with a full ashtray With a little bit too much to say.”

bitter and biting last lines: “’Cause if my baby doesn’t love me no more/I know her sister will.” One of my favorite song endings, it generates the kind of laughs that stick in your throat. Depression — “Martha” by Tom Waits Waits has always been delightfully strange. But his debut album is full of the same kind of brokenhearted yearning that Frank Sinatra did so well. The purest distillation of Wait’s stirring approach to romantic melancholy

is this weeper of a song. Lyrics like “And those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose/And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me,” encapsulate the doldrums of regret and depression. The swelling strings are the perfect musical partner. Acceptance — “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” by Bob Dylan Any number of Dylan songs could have made this list: “Don’t Think Twice” came out on top because it’s his most direct and wry attempt at addressing moving on from a relationship. But even as Dylan is moving on, he can’t help but do so with a hefty dose of sarcasm and bitter humor. Lyrics like: Still I wish there was something you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talking anyway So don’t think twice, it’s all right will sound familiar to anyone moving on from a relationship. Often that’s the only thing to be done, and most of us can only hope to do it with as much wit as Dylan does. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he’s a-thinking and a-wondering all the way down the road. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot. com.

Her goal was to be the first woman to climb all 14 of the over-8,000-meter peaks, without supplementary oxygen In 2011, she reached the summit of K-2, her 14th peak over 8,000 meters — despite new snow and avalanche danger. She was named National Geographic’s Explorer of the Year. According to a National Geographic online story, she wanted to climb from the remote Chinese side, along the most dangerous route. (K-2, with heavy snow and danger of avalanches, has taken the lives of one in four climbers who attempt to reach its summit.) Kaltenbrunner will use slides and video to illustrate her talk, which will also address her interest in the culture and people she has found. Her husband and climbing partner, Ralf Dujmovits, shot the photo that illustrates this story. He and others turned back on the K-2 expedition, while she pressed on to the summit.

Color jumps out in show By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Invite a young friend to join you in a trip to the Depot Art Gallery this month. The exhibit, “Well RED,” will make for a good game of “find what’s red in the paintings and other artwork.” Meant as a Valentine’s Day connection, that title actually led in many directions other than romantic. Think Converse high-tops, for instance, or a ribbon hatband — or a rusting old truck. Of course, there are flowers of all sorts, which one would expect, and birds: cardinal and red-wing blackbird … The old Temple Bar is painted bright red and invites one in for a pint. There are images of red rock formations, abstract designs, fall foliage, red roofs and several appealing stacks of antique books with red leather bindings The jurist, Denver artist Camille Scott, who exhibits a handsome architectural drawing just inside the front door, named award winners: Judy Deist’s painterly photograph,

“Spinning Nepal,” a watercolor by Brian Serff, depicts a colorful market scene. It won second place in the “Well RED” exhibit at the Depot Art Gallery.

Third place went to Nancy Wilkin’s large oil painting, “Lake Dillon Storm,” and honorable mentions were given to S. Williams, Paul Nutting and David DeMarco. New member Julie Anderson exhibits a stack of bright red folders, labeled “Color it Yours.” Each contains a collection of fanciful black-and-white drawings to be colored by adults or children.

“Well Read Cowboy,” a large, painterly photograph by Judy Diest, was named Best in Show in the new exhibit “Well RED” at Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery.

While Dr. Pendleton treated the patients that came to the hospital, civil war, guerrilla skirmishes, major floods, dust storms, famines, and epidemics took place. In 1927, a battle raged between two warlords just two miles from the mission compound. The political conditions became so dangerous that Dr. Pendleton relocated to Tientsin on the coast, where she met Oliver Todd, a young American civil engineer whom she later married. She and her new husband settled in Beijing, but they were forced to leave the country when Japan invaded China in 1938. Christiansen is the author of the book, Dr. Lois: Woman Surgeon of China.

DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS MAN?

My name is Sherry and I live in Tennessee. I am reaching out to the people of Colorado for help in finding my dearest friend, STEVEN (STEVE) EARL PERMENTER. He is 5”11, has brown eyes and dark brown hair. He was last seen wearing a full beard. Birth date:11-17-1960. The pictures attached are older photos. Steve is 55 years old now. His last known whereabouts were in the Brighton and Westminster areas of Colorado between April and July of 2015. Steve deserves to know that he is not alone in this world and that there is someone that loves him unconditionally. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Please text or call 931-305-3959. I work during the day so leave a message if no answer and I will return your call. Steve, I know you said this would happen. It’s been a long time coming. You also said to make sure that I found you because you didn’t want to miss it. It’s been a long journey but I have found you in Colorado; just don’t know exactly where. I need some help. Please contact me! Forever yours. Love, Sherry

Valor claims 4A swimming crown Brooke Stenstrom dominates in the pool for the Eagles By Scott Stocker Special to Colorado Community Media Valor Christian senior Brooke Stenstrom did her mother, Lori, proud. After all, her mom is the head coach. But it wasn’t just Brooke who gave Lori Stenstrom reasons to smile. It was the whole team as Valor splashed its way to the Class 4A state girls swimming championship Feb. 12 and 13 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. Stenstrom won the 50-yard freestyle with a meet record time of 23.22 seconds, won the 100 freestyle in 50.63, swam the anchor leg on Valor’s winning 200 medley relay team in 1:45.31, also a meet record, and swam the first leg of her team’s second-place finish in the 400 relay. Those efforts led to her earning the Swimmer of the Year award. In the process, Valor scored 320 points to outdistance runner-up Evergreen, which tallied 252. Cheyenne Mountain out of Colorado Springs placed third (249 points), Manitou Springs fourth (168) and Silver Creek fifth (147). “This is the most exciting end to my high school career,” Stenstrom said. “It will be one of the most memorable moments of my life. We have had a lot of great chemistry with our team, and each of the girls made it special for me. I’m just proud of everyone, and I couldn’t be more happy.” Helping to cap Stenstrom’s career is the fact she won the 50 and 100 in 2014, the 50 free in 2015, and the 200 free relay last year. Joining her on the winning 200 medley team were Raili Carter, Brook Landt and Madison Hoehn. Valor can look to good things in the future from freshman Abbie Erickson, who finished fourth in diving. “This was so exciting and it was nerveracking,” said Erickson. “There is so much pressure. I hoped to do well and I didn’t know how I would finish out.” CLASS 4A GIRLS STATE SWIMMING Swimming Coach of the Year - Lori Stenstrom, Valor Christian.

Rock Canyon senior wins state titles Kochevar will swim next season for the University of Wisconsin By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Rock Canyon senior Abigail Kochevar will head to the University of Wisconsin next season toting four Colorado state high school individual swimming titles. But she was quick to point out which was the most meaningful. Kochevar, the top qualifier, won her third consecutive 100yard backstroke title Feb. 13 at the Edora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins, but it was her victory in the 50 freestyle that was special. In the past three seasons she has finished third, third and second in the race, but she finally won with a time of 23.29 after

qualifying with the third-fastest time. “The 50 meant the most to me,” confessed Kochevar. “I could never win the 50. Four wins is nice.” Lexie Barker, a junior at Douglas County, is a former gymnast who dives for the Douglas County/Castle View team and was feeling nice herself after finishing third in the diving competition. Barker led going into the finals, but McKensi Austin of Regis Jesuit turned in three sparkling dives to win her third straight title with 530.90 points. Barker finished with 463.60 points. “I’m surprised I got third,” said Barker, who is only in her second season of diving. “I just wanted to do my best and try my hardest. This is a lot better than I did last year so I’m thrilled.” Fairview captured the team 5A Swim continues on Page 24

Caddies carry home scholarships Sydney Bates, Tara O’Gorman and Reilly Richards were three of the 11 Colorado caddies awarded full tuition and housing via Evans scholarships to the University of Colorado. Prerequisites Jim Benton to be considered a Chick Evans OVERTIME for scholarship include excellent academics, financial need, strong caddie record and solid leadership. Bates is an Arapahoe High School senior and a caddie at Columbine Country Club. Her younger sister was diagnosed with leukemia and her family filed for bankruptcy because of increasing medical bills and her father’s failed business. He is employed in a minimum wage job. The scholarship is valued at more than $80,000 over four years. “It was an absolute honor to have won an Evans scholarship,” said Bates. “I worked so hard for two years. It was a sense of relief and honor I have from winning this scholarship. It allows me to go to college and follow my dreams.”

Bates’ mother worked at Arapahoe when Sydney stumbled across an application to caddie. She gave it a try, admitting she was not athletic. “I never thought this would be a job for me,” said Bates who wants to become a pediatric oncologist because of her sister. “I always thought I’d be a drive-through person at Chick-fil-A, but I like this Chick better.” O’Gorman, a Mountain Vista senior and caddie at Cherry Hills Country Club, became a caddie so she could qualify for the Evans scholarship since her mother is a single mom with a son in college. “I started working as a caddie for a scholarship,” she said. “I’ve never golfed in my life. My mom is a single mother paying for my brother’s college already. It was security so my mom wouldn’t have to work three jobs to put two kids through school.” Richards attends Arvada West, is a caddie at Lakewood Country Club and played golf for the Wildcats. “The Evans scholarship meant the world to me because I’m not sure college would have been an option without it,” he said. “It has changed my life for the better and for the future.

Questions can wait as Broncos celebrate

By Donna Bryson and Pat Graham Associated Press

mother whether she was there for all the Broncos, or especially for Manning. “Peyton,” was the answer. “She just likes watching sports, and she’s followed him for years,” her granddaughter said.

From the top of a fire truck, Von Miller thrust the Super Bowl trophy into the air again and again as the Denver Broncos convoy made its way through streets lined with blue-and-orange-clad fans. Behind Miller, the Super Bowl MVP, stood Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware. Behind them, the architect of this team and Hall of Famer John Elway. Fittingly, the group traveled the route, which was a bit longer than a mile, in fire truck No. 18 — Manning’s number. Will he be back with the Broncos? A question for another time. Because Feb. 9 was parade day and a million fans — according to an estimate from the Denver mayor — showed up to cheer on the Super Bowl champions after beating Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 24-10 on Feb. 7. The supporters held up signs and screamed “Thank you, Peyton!” at the top of their lungs as they soaked in the sun while basking in the glow of the Broncos’ third Super Bowl title — and the first in 17 years. Fans packed in tightly along the route, while others watched from balconies, rooftops and even the branches of trees as the players rode by on a series of fire trucks. Backup quarterback Brock Osweiler signed footballs and threw them into the crowd as he rode by on another truck, while Annabel Bowlen, the wife of ailing Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, took a seat next to Miller. Pat Henderson and Melanie Novak usually cheer together at the stadium, where they met at a Broncos game a decade ago in a part of the stands they proudly described as the rowdy south section. During the season, “it’s our responsibility to all the Broncos nation to help the team by yelling,” Henderson said. The task on Feb. 9, she said

Celebrants couldn’t wait Fans in Denver began celebrating on the night of Feb. 7 as the clock ticked down on the Broncos’ win in Super Bowl 50. That crowd became unruly at times, but officers for the most part watched from the sidewalk. Police reported a handful of arrests, mainly for criminal mischief. On Feb. 9, the mood was light. Even some people stuck in traffic near the parade route honked at fans dressed in Broncos jerseys walked on the sidewalk toward the event. Some kids had an impromptu snowball fight — making missiles out of remnants of snow from a week earlier when the city received about a foot of fresh powder — while several adults painted their faces for the occasion. Although many took the day off, Gary Baca, chief of security for a downtown building along the route, was working. He wore a bright orange tie with his white dress shirt, and took a moment to survey the crowds he said were sending a message to the Broncos. “I want them to understand that we as fans truly love them,” Baca said. “The love deep down is genuine.” It meant the world to longtime Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar, the centerpiece the team’s famed “Orange Crush” defense from the late 1970s. “I can see why Broncos fans are charged with being the greatest fans in the country,” Gradishar said. “It’s great to see all the excitement and enthusiasm.” Miller, who was wearing a cowboy hat, couldn’t agree more. A chance at a Super Bowl repeat? “I think so,” Miller said. “Back-to-back, right?”

Manning’s future not clear amid victory rally

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, the Super Bowl 50 MVP, rallies fans during the Feb. 9 parade. At right, Annabel Bowlen, the wife of Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, holds the Lombardi Trophy, the prize awarded each year to the Super Bowl winner. Photo by Brandon Eaker as she stood with Novak along the parade route, was a bit different: “To have fun and represent Denver.” The parade followed an outdoor concert by a trio of Colorado bands, including Big Head Todd and The Monsters, near the City and County Building and the Colorado Capitol. The sea of fans went crazy on the sunny morning as the music started. The smell of marijuana hung over the park, even though smoking pot in public is illegal in Colorado. School took back seat People gathered for hours before the concert and parade. Classes were in session, but school-age kids mingled in the crowd. Denver schools offered students excused absences if their parents let officials know. Once on stage, Manning acknowledged

his teammates and the crowd, but he said nothing of his plans for the future. “Everybody has really stuck together this year. That’s why we’re here where we are today, and it’s great to be with all these great fans,” Manning said. Judy Ayce drove nine hours with her 81-year-old mother, Dorothy Ayce, from the Chinle Navajo reservation in Arizona for the parade, arriving at the Denver home of Judy Ayce’s niece late Feb. 8. On the morning before the parade started, Dorothy Ayce’s wheelchair was parked against a barricade. A plastic bag of drinks and snacks dangled from the chair. The family was ready to spend the day celebrating. “We brought our mats. We brought our food. We brought blankets for Grandma,” Amanda Ayce said. Judy Ayce, speaking in Navajo, asked her

Evans was a top amateur golfer who won the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in 1916. No waiting around for DiDonna Katie DiDonna dislikes waiting. At least that’s the way she plays on the basketball court. DiDonna, a 5-foot7 Rock Canyon senior who was an all-league softball shortstop last fall, leads the Continental League and all Class 5A players in rebounding with an average of 12.6 per game. “Katie is an outstanding rebounder,” said Jaguars coach Becky Mudd. “Her rebounding skills are a result of her tenaciousness and fearlessness on the court. Unlike other girls, she doesn’t wait for the ball to come to her. She goes up anywhere around her and attacks the ball and brings it in. “Katie has really embraced her role as a tough rebounder, quick defender and a player who only knows how to play one way: hard.” Top 5A wrestling seeds Seven area wrestlers have been top-seeded in the Class 5A brackets in the state high school wrestling tournament, which will be held Feb. 18-20 at the Pepsi Center in Denver. The top seeds are Castle View’s Malik Heinselman (106 pounds), Tomas Guiterrez of Pomona (120), Legacy’s Ryan Deakin (138), Pomona’s Jason Romero (145), Dawson Cranmer of Chaparral (170), Matt Hebel of Legacy (182) and Mountain Vista’s Trenton Schultz (195). Final week of regular season There will be a plenty of scrambling for state playoff positions as the regular boys and girls basketball seasons must be concluded by Feb. 20.

championship with 288.50 points. Four south metro teams stacked up behind one another with Arapahoe fourth, Rock Canyon fifth, Chaparral sixth and Heritage seventh. Cherry Creek was 10th. Two south metro individuals won championships. Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews won the 100-yard freestyle and Delaney Smith, a sophomore at Arapahoe, claimed the title in the 200 individual medley. Andrews

February 18, 2016 was timed at 50.91 in the finals after becoming the top qualifier during the preliminaries. Smith actually finished second to Baily Kovac of Fossil Ridge, but she wound up on top of the victory podium after Kovac was disqualified for not touching the wall on a turn. Smith was clocked at 2:05.19. It took a minute before Smith realized she won. “I was doing a flip turn because I was really tired, so I stood back up,” said Smith. “Then my team was shouting my name so I turned and they said, ‘You got first.’ I looked up at the scoreboard and saw than lane five had a DQ and I was first.”

Douglas County/ Castle View diver Lexie Barker led after the preliminary round, but ﬁnished third in the diving competition on Feb. 13 at the girls state high school swimming championships. Photo by Jim Benton

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 15, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) St. Valentine’s Day magic rules the entire week for romantic Rams and Ewes. Music, which is the food of love, is also strong. The weekend offers news both unexpected and anticipated. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your aspects favor the arts -- which the Divine Bovine loves, loves, loves. Also, for those looking for romantic love, Cupid is available for requests. After all, his mother, Venus, rules your sign. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Loving commitments continue to grow stronger. Ditto budding relationships. A recent move to help start up a new career-linked direction soon could begin to show signs of progress. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Single Moon Children might be eager to take that proverbial chance on love. But your more serious side will feel better if you take things slowly and give your moonstruck self more time. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a love fest for Leos and Leonas this week. Paired Cats might expect to be purr-fectly in sync. And with matchmaking friends, single Simbas searching for romance shouldn’t have too far to look. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) More understanding on both sides can work miracles in restoring ailing relationships to health. Make the first move, and you’ll be closer to your much-wanted reunion.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Accept the fact that you are worthy of being loved, and you’ll find proof in what is revealed to you over the course of the week. Also accept a compliment offered with great sincerity. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Planning to take a new direction in life is exciting. And so is a new awareness of someone’s special affection. Expect a slow and mostly steady development of the situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although you might still feel you weren’t treated quite right in a recent matter, all that will work out in time. Meanwhile, enjoy the week’s special qualities and potentials.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Deciding not to give up on a troubling romantic situation helps start the healing process. Expect to find some valuable insight into yourself as things move along. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The week is filled with positive potentials, but it’s up to you to make the right choices. The advice of someone who truly cares for you and your well-being can be priceless. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to make yourself available to possibilities of the romantic kind. Already paired? Good. In that case, be sure to reassure that special person of your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: Your generosity gladdens the hearts of others, and you bask in their joy.

Surgeon collects shoes for Kenyans in need Doctor will perform free surgeries during trip to Africa Lone Tree cosmetic surgeon Dr. Stephen Weber is traveling to Kenya to perform pro-bono operations for those in need. He is also collecting shoes that he will donate to both adults and children. Weber sat down with the Lone Tree Voice to talk about his work in Africa and the calling to help others. Why Kenya? This is my first mission trip with Kenya Relief, which is a group out of Michigan. I’ve been doing mission work for about eight years now. We travel typically to either Latin America or East Africa once per year and spend a couple of weeks there doing pro-bono surgery for kids and adults.

What will you do there? The main goal is really cleft lip and palate repair. They have been in Kenya, in the areas near Nairobi, recruiting patients for the last six to eight weeks for the mission. We will be heading there on March 17, and operating probably four to five days. We will work about 15-18 hours a day, just trying to get as much done as possible. How can people help? The other thing we do is we try to take shoes and socks and those sorts of things for the kids and the adults. We try and contribute as much as we can to the Kenyan people while we are there. If people have used sneakers or comfortable shoes that are in decent condition, I’m going to be taking at least a full suitcase of shoes with me. If people can drop off shoes or anything like that to support the mission, that would be awesome. We’re not looking for cash donations or anything like that.

It’s a self-funded trip. We pay our own way, but shoes are the main things we can use. We will have a collection bin in the waiting room here at the office. What drew you to this work? I always thought it was a really worthwhile endeavor. I took a mission trip to Peru as a resident, and it was really interesting the effect it had on me. I knew the value of the work and the gravity of the

work, but at the end of our trip we had a lot of the families of the kids we operated on come to a big dinner and it was really powerful to see not only how thankful they were, but how desperate they were. It was a really emotional time. It solidified the fact that I wanted to do this on a regular basis. That’s my goal for the next couple decades: to try and give back at least a couple weeks a year where people need care.
