MY NAME IS
Jean Gallagher, business owner, outdoors enthusiast About me I own Lewis & Bark Dog and Cat Goods on Prince Street. We opened a year and a half ago. Before that, I was a farrier, which is a horseshoer, for 20 years. I grew up with horses and it was just something I wanted to do. I liked being outside and I liked working with the animals. I grew up in the Midwest and my parents always wanted us kids to have interaction with animals, so we had horses, chickens and goats. Now I have two rescue dogs and I have one horse and take care of another. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have a lot of compassion for them.

High-quality products I think the new trend is feeding better foods. I also think we have a lot more one-on-one interaction with customers to explain the foods we have in the store. Also, a lot of people think that these types of stores are more boutique and more expensive, but actually we have good quality food at a decent price.

David Lorenz’s years of service noted by professional association BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Former longtime South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Executive Director David Lorenz is now a legend in his field. Lorenz, who spent 30 years leading the district before retiring in 2015, was given the Legend award by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration at a board of directors meeting on Oct. 26. Lorenz “Many of the things he did with South Suburban are leaders in the parks and recreation filed,” said Dirk Ridgewine of the AAPRA Legends nominating committee, who presented Lorenz with the award. Lorenz gave much of his credit to his staff over the years, saying he surrounded himself with smart people. “I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time, with a rapidly
growing community of citizens who recognized and appreciated the value of parks, open space, trails and recreation facilities,” Lorenz said. Under his watch, the district acquired Lone Tree Golf Club, Hudson Gardens & Event Center and the Family Sports Center, all previously privately owned. He also initiated the development of an old Arapahoe County landfill into the athletic complex that is now David A. Lorenz Regional Park. “We were able to expand the district greatly under Dave’s leadership,” said SSPRD board member Jim Taylor. “He provided a lot of really good leadership for a long time.” Lorenz was hired in 1967 as a recreation supervisor for the fledging district before taking over as director. “In 1967, there wasn’t a lot of growth and development down here,” he said. Lorenz climbed the ladder quickly at the district, being promoted to superintendent of recreation and then assistant director. Lorenz graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in recreation management before serving two years in the military and earning a master’s degree from University of ColoradoDenver in urban and regional planning.

LPS Foundation strides into fundraising Run in Littleton draws 2,700 participants BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Despite the fog, a record number of runners turned out for the Littleton Public Schools Foundation’s 21st annual Stride 10K, 5K and kids fun run. A total of 2,701 runner and walkers participated, up significantly from about 1,800 last year and slightly higher than the run’s previous record, LPSF Executive Director Beth Best said. The Oct. 30 event started and finished at Bemis Library in Littleton.
“The great thing about it is it really brings the community together,” Best said. “It’s grown into its own brand and people have a blast.” Best did not have a fundraising total for the event at press time, but LPSF had a goal of raising $50,000. The Stride is the foundation’s second-largest fundraiser of the year, trailing the Spirit Dinner in the spring. Best said the foundation will continue raising money for mental health services and will provide grants to teachers in the district, which it provided $30,000 worth of last year. The run’s major sponsors were Littleton Adventist Hospital and Colorado State Bank and Trust.

Student presidential hopefuls square off Mackintosh Academy student balloting mirrors U.S. election BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
None of them vowed to “make Mackintosh Academy great again,” but a group of seventh- and eighth-graders at the Littleton school for gifted children made their pitch to be student body president. The candidates are appreciably nicer to one another than the U.S. presidential candidates, with each attesting to an idea of each other’s that they like. “You have to learn the difference between attacking a person and putting holes in their ideas,” eighth-grader Sam Pausback said about campaigning against classmates. The election, Mackintosh’s first, is modeled after the U.S. election, and the six candidates have campaign managers and websites and hold press conferences. After a primary narrows the field to two, those two will choose a running mate from the other four, and a president will be selected on Election Day, Nov. 8. Candidates’ platforms, presented at a forum at the school Oct. 25, ranged from globally-minded ideas to help the environment to populist appeals like a weekly late-start day or new playground equipment. “I’m always really impressed with how sincere our kids are,” Mackintosh Director of Advancement Kristi Espineira said. The chosen candidate will serve as the school’s president through the remainder of the year, and they were required to submit budgets for ideas that would cost money to the school’s administration. For instance, eighthgrader Gillian Schwanitz proposed a spare-change fundraiser drive to pay Gfor the playground equipment in her platform. Other ideas in platforms included a composting program, making better use of the school’s greenhouse, more efficient sprinklers, weekly interviews

Many of the platforms were similar, with themes of more student involvement and environmental service projects. “I think it’s fascinating how hard it is to really come up with a campaign that’s different from the other people’s,” eighth-grader Katie French said. Students said the election has helped them learn about the American political process. “One thing I’ve learned is a lot more about the candidates than I probably would have before,” Gillian said, noting that they had studied real campaign advertisements and websites and watched the debates. Between now and Nov. 8, the campaign will continue, featuring stump speeches and live debates. The president and vice president will be inaugurated on Nov. 11.

Unopposed Brauchler poised for next term District attorney looks ahead to four more years and beyond BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler first ran for office in 2012, he endured 30 debates and candidate forums, and a fundraising battle. The Republican defeated Democrat Ethan Feldman 52 percent to 48 percent in the general election. While he isn’t facing any challengers in his bid for re-election this year, he’s been meeting with seniors and other groups of voters to let them know what he’s done in his first term. “I like to make our voters the best-educated in the state,” he said. “I don’t think a lot of people really understand what the district attorney does.” The Douglas County husband and father of four graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with bachelor’s degrees in political science and economics. He earned his law degree from the university in 1995. A member of the ROTC in
college, Brauchler, 47, still serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard, a position he said allows him to stay close to his home in Parker and his job overseeing the D.A.’s office. The judicial district encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. One thing he is proud of is the influence he’s had on others in his office and their military service. “As of right now, 10 percent of our prosecutors are active duty guard or reserve members, and from every branch,” Brauchler said. “I don’t take any credit for putting that in their heart, but I do take credit for creating an environment that made it so inviting and welcoming and supportive that they would say `I’m going to pursue this.’ I hope that that continues.” While his notoriety has come from prosecuting high-profile cases like that of Aurora movie theater murderer James Holmes, Brauchler prefers to talk about the work he’s done to restructure his office, such as slowing the rate its budget is increasing and growing the Douglas County branch’s staff to allow it to function more independently. Looking forward, Brauchler would like to see funding for
special prosecutors for gangs and heroin, two problems he said are getting worse nationally and locally. “To effectively tackle those pieces, you have to have targeted law enforcement and prosecution,” he said, describing the position as someone who would be involved with a case from the arrest to the sentencing. A discussion on Brauchler’s future plans wouldn’t be complete without asking whether or not he plans to seek higher office. His name has been floated as a candidate for governor and U.S. senator in the past, and Brauchler isn’t shy about revisiting at least one of those possibilities, if it keeps him close to home. “I am probably an average father at best. I am not going to be any better spending more of my time in Washington, D.C., away from my family,” he said of his decision not to run for Senate. “The only other big office that is out there in the near future is the governor’s office,” Brauchler said. “I’m flattered to think people think I can do that job, and some people do. At the appropriate time, I will give it more serious consideration and see if there’s something I can do.”

VFW Post 9644 hosting event usually at Fort Logan BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Nov. 11 Veterans Day ceremonies traditionally held at Fort Logan National Cemetery will be held at Verle Huffman Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9644 located at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. in Sheridan. The move was made because of construction at Fort Logan in the area where the ceremony is normally held. Two ceremonies will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 to honor all the men and women who have put on uniforms in service of our country. There will be a ceremony in Littleton sponsored by Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103 and it will be held at the city’s
World War II memorial at Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. El Jebel Shrine’s Pipe Band will play during the event and there will be comments from American Legion Post 103’s commander and VFW Post 4666 commanders. In keeping with tradition, the All Veterans Honor Guard will fire a 21-gun salute and a bugler will play “Taps.” The ceremonies at VFW Post 9644 are sponsored annually by District 10, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. There will be a VFW honor guard representing many of the metro area VFW and American Legion posts to present the colors as well as the flags from their posts. Veterans Day speakers at Fort Logan this year include officials from VFW District 10. The guest speaker will be Brig. Gen. Michael Willis of the Colorado National Guard and Col. David Miller, commander of the 460th Space Wing at Buckley Air Force Base.

Conti looks ahead to new role in government State representative runs unopposed for position as county commissioner BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After announcing last year that she would not seek a fourth term in the state Legislature, Republican Kathleen Conti is running unopposed for the District 1 seat on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners.
In the Legislature, the Littleton resident has represented House District 38, which includes most of Littleton and west Centennial, for three terms. First elected in 2010, she was re-elected in 2012 and 2014. Conti said her experience as a state legislator gives her an understandConti ing of the policies that county commissioners must implement. She also says her background in real estate means she is well-versed in land-use issues.
On the board of commissioners, Conti said she hopes to address the county’s growing population and the stress that puts on the budget. “It will be incumbent on the commissioners to think outside of the box on creative solutions to meet the needs of the growing population,” she said. Conti said she would like to address public health, particularly mental health among teenagers, citing a January 2016 update from Tri-County Health Department. “Twenty-six percent of our teens have poor mental health, 13.9 percent engage in binge drinking and 15.9
percent considered suicide,” she said. “These are areas in which we must continue and possibly increase our partnerships with our faith-based and nonprofit organizations to help us more effectively meet the complex needs of many of our citizens and their families.” District 1 encompasses Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley and west Centennial. The commissioner seat is open because another Littleton Republican, Nancy Doty, decided to run for state Senate District 26 instead of seeking re-election.

Organization helps people with autism ‘be heard’ Nonprofit hosts voter registration drive for people with disabilities BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Like many people with autism, Owen Xiao doesn’t say much. But he still has a voice, and Lauren Thome wants to make sure it’s heard on Election Day. Xiao registered to vote for the first time at a registration drive Thome organized for people with disabilities
on Oct. 25. He said it felt “pretty good.” The drive, held at the Developmental Pathways office space on Inverness Drive in northern Douglas County, ran from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., enlisting three volunteers per three-hour shift. The goal was to give disabled citizens, a group often left out of the political conversation, the chance to speak up. “They’re stakeholders, just like everyone else,” she said. “They should be heard.” In 2010, the Englewood resident started Garden Inc., a nonprofit that provides after-school activities,

Items not in the budget Several department requests for additional funding were not included in the recommended budget. The District Attorney’s Office requested $169,000 for an additional prosecutor and investigator for the elder-abuse unit, and an additional $82,000 for an additional prosecutor for the gang unit. Also, the Public Works and Development Department requested an additional $5 million for road repairs.
The Arapahoe County Budget BY KYLE HARDING | KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Arapahoe County Budget Director Todd Weaver gave an initial presentation of the recommended budget for 2017 to the Board of County Commissioners on Oct. 25, before the board continued the public hearing until Dec. 13.

Capital improvement projects Significant capital improvement projects for 2017 includes road construction, new perimeter security at the county detention center, a study to evaluate the cost of a replacement for the Arapahoe County Justice Center, and car radio upgrades for the sheriff ’s office.

Revenue growth is down
Employee compensation
Overall revenue growth is down from last year. Revenue from all funds grew 1.8 percent from 2016 to 2017, compared to more than 5 percent from 2015 to 2016. General fund revenue is up $5 million, compared to $7 million last year. Property tax revenue growth also slowed down from last year, partially because it is not a reappraisal year, and partially because the county must refund overcollections from last year due to a change in the Denver-GreeleyBoulder area’s inflation rate.
The recommended budget includes 3 percent merit-pay increases based on performance and retaining key talent, with a total funding of $3.26 million, plus about $400,000 for law enforcement stepprogram progressions. This is the same pay increase as last year, and up from 2.25 percent in the two years before that.

hen I first moved to Colorado more than 20 years ago I was introduced to one of the most productive people I have ever had the privilege of working with and who I believe still has one of the strongest work ethics of anyone I have ever met or worked with in the past. Her name is JoAnn and at the time she was our office manager, finance manager, and basically manager and keeper of all things in the company. I was the vice president of sales at the time, so I had a lot of reasons to interact with JoAnn throughout each day. What always amazed me was that at the end of every day she was always the last person
to leave, and always the first person into the office the next morning. And no matter how much work we created or tasks that needed to get accomplished, it seemed like the more work that we gave to JoAnn, the more she thrived and produced. She never missed a deadline and always exceeded expectations with an excellent work product. Needless to say, I recruited her to come with me as I started my own company. And then there are the other people I have worked with over the years who just didn’t have that same work ethic. It seemed like they never had enough to do and they always seem to be behind in what they were doing.
What I have found to be true is that those people with the most to do are the people who get the most done. And that the people with the least amount to do can never seem to rise to the occasion and complete what needs to get done. Accomplishment is the watchword for those that do, where procrastination seems to be the belief system of those who are challenged with work ethic. We see this at work and we see it in our own families, don’t we? We may even see it within our circle of friends too. And we certainly see it at work amongst our associSEE NORTON, P13

reader said that my “bleak outlook” is “partly agerelated.” I said, “You should have seen me when I was 17.” That’s when I met the young man who later Craig Marshall became my college roomSmith mate. My roommate was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature. For weeks, however, he did not acknowledge the award. One of the Nobel committee members, Per Wastberg, said that makes him “impolite and arrogant.” Hey, Wastberg: Know your recipient well, before you start Nobeling him. We met when I was in high school, in southwestern Ohio. He traveled with me to California. I took classes during the day. He wrote the songs that I listened to all night. We spent some time together in Arizona, before we moved to Colorado in 1977. I have heard him hundreds of
times unexpectedly on the radio, and probably thousands of times intentionally, going across everything that has happened to me since I was 17. Reactions to the award have been all over the place. I am not surprised. He is a scruffy-looking man, with a nasal-twang voice, and there was a time when what he wrote about seemed to bother a few people. He was called a protest singer. He said that Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme were protest singers, not him. The humor in that wasn’t lost on a kid who was becoming skeptical and suspicious of a lot of things, and a lot of people. That hasn’t changed. Irvine Welsh, the author of “Trainspotting,” heard about the award, and said, “An ill-conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies.” I’d come home from school at night, and get out “Desolation Row.” Put it on the turntable, and put out the lights. Eleven minutes or so later I’d wake and hear the sound of the needle lifting and returning to

AGING from page 12 lobby, it wasn’t hard to recognize the look I’ve seen plenty of times; the disbelief but also the burgeoning resignation. Nobody plans for this. “I never give up, I am strong, I can do this.” And then a statement I hear repeatedly: “I made her a promise,” Harry emotionally revealed. Harry and Susan met in college — he a star football player, she a straight A student. Their courtship was a whirlwind — it was love at first sight. They traveled to Asia, protested a war, learned to cook moo shu pork together and settled down with two children who came a little later on. He was always her rock. She was always his social guide. They’ve been married for 45 years. About one year ago, she started to have difficulty with names — then with remembering where they were going. A few times, he’d find her hairbrush in the freezer or her purse in with the bakeware. Keys were often disappearing. She’d believe anyone about anything — that was next. He made sure she couldn’t answer the phone so they wouldn’t be scammed. Then he had to lock the doors to prevent her from leaving the house with no place to go, or in her undies, or otherwise unsafe choices. He found ways to explain these things to himself — she’s tired, she’s had a bad day, it must be the new vitamins, etc. When their children visited, Susan seemed spot on - answering questions and conversing. Nothing seemed wrong. Each visit seemed pleasant. Was he imagining her strange moments? Most people with dementia are quite capable of hiding their declines in short doses and may be capable of maintaining social graces. It’s common for concerned family to ask questions and get reasonable and assuring answers. “Did you eat dinner, Mom?” to which she may reply “Yes, I did. It
was delicious.” She’s given an appropriate answer; however, it may not be accurate. Only when they spend a few days and nights with their loved one to experience the occasional strange comment or odd choices or changes in discernment or judgment do they begin to see the truth. Harry’s pride and his desire to fulfill his promise to Susan kept him from sharing the truth with anyone — even their children. For most spouse caregivers, daily living becomes increasingly stressful and isolating. Many struggle with the perception that getting help is a form of “giving up.” For this reason, many wait for a crisis before planning for or accepting help. Tragically, over 60 percent of spouse caregivers die before their partner with dementia does. Paradoxically, finding and accepting appropriate care can better honor the intent behind “the promise” to never move into “an old folks’ home.” By improving social connectivity and providing dignity in caregiving, both spouses may still actively grieve their losses, but they wouldn’t be doing so in isolation. Consider this quote from the book “The Best Friends Approach to Alzheimer’s Care”: “The promise to always keep mother at home might have been made with the best intentions and hopes, but inherent in that commitment is the idea that the family will do what is best for her. It may be a promise that should be broken, because keeping mother at home many not be best for her.” Birgit Moran Schafer is the community relations director at Willowbrook Place, an Anthem Community. She can be reached via email at bmoran@ anthemmemorycare.com
NORTON from page 12 ates. Is it just pure drive and ambition compared to complacency and laziness? Or is it a lack of direction and leadership? Could it also be the way the person sees themselves? Meaning that the person full of drive and ambition may have a healthy selfimage and see themselves performing at a higher level than most. Where someone with a low self-esteem may not be as focused on performing or functioning at that same level. Whether you are looking to be a person who gets things done, or you are looking to work with people who have a strong work ethic, look at the behaviors that are currently taking place in your own life or look at the behaviors of the people you are looking to hire or work with. Many times we want to manage results for ourselves and others, and that really cannot be done. We can only measure our results, not really manage them. But we can manage behaviors to drive productivity and accomplishment for ourselves and others. Here are just a few behaviors that
can turn inaction into productive action: Wake up earlier; create and work from an organized to-do list; prioritize tasks; set goals; set completion dates and time; schedule time to review progress and results; have an accountability partner; keep a journal of activities, thoughts, goals and progress; and work on a healthy self-image with a focus on mind, body, and spirit. Now how about you? Are you someone who gets things done regardless of how many things are on your plate? Or do you or someone you know need some help with ambition and drive? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can move from inaction to action to increase our productivity, it really will be a better than good week.

Smith from page 12 its cradle. The room would be as quiet as a room can be, and my thoughts were on what I had just heard, and where my life was headed. I still quote him all the time, in my columns and books, to myself, to Jennifer, to the dog. Almost word for word, I could hand you “My Back Pages” and “Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again.” “Don’t think Twice, It’s Alright,” same thing. Oh, we parted ways for a while, after his motorcycle accident. That didn’t last long. My friend hasn’t refused the award — he announced late last week that he will accept it. It simply took him a while to say thanks. He said he will attend the Dec. 10 Nobel ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, “if at all possible.” Jean-Paul Sartre refused the award altogether, in 1959, saying he did not
want to be “institutionalized.” Sartre once said, “Hell is other people.” He wasn’t exactly Mr. Green Jeans, and neither is my friend. He ended a concert that came after the award was announced with Frank Sinatra’s “Why Try to Change Me Now?” “I’ll go away weekends, leave the keys in the door, but why try to change me now?” Perfect. Bob Dylan’s effect on me has been deeply meaningful and enduring. His words, their cadence, clarity and ambiguity have always made me think. Twice. “I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade, into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Check out different options for Turkey Day BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Whether it’s a slice of juicy white meat or a slab of greasy dark meat, the staple of a Thanksgiving meal is the turkey. How a turkey is prepped and cooked differs from household to household. Some swear by an old family recipe. Some look to food magazines for inspiration. And some prefer to let other people do the cooking. Whatever it may be, there are plenty of options for Turkey Day in metro Denver.
Attend a class
Uncorked Kitchen — an interactive dining experience in Centennial — has upcoming classes for those that need some inspiration or help in the kitchen. Owners Eric and Katie Robbins opened the kitchen, at 171 S. Chester St., just over a year ago. The kitchen hosts a variety of events, including cooking lessons, private parties and date nights. On Nov. 16, Uncorked presents a Taste of Uncorked - Thanksgiving Day Sides class. The hands-on lesson will leave participants with two classic dishes made from scratch, including a fresh green bean casserole and roasted sweet potatoes with a twist. And on Nov. 23, the kitchen is hosting a Take & Eat Pies class. “You leave with your sides and pies for Thanksgiving so all you have to do is cook your turkey,” Katie Robbins said. Although the classes don’t focus on prepping a turkey, chefs can answer any questions a turkey-cooker may have, Robbins said.
FIVE WAYS TO COOK A TURKEY BRAISED — The turkey is fried and then stewed for juicier meat. FRIED — The turkey is fried in oil or fat, which takes less time. GRILLED — The turkey is cooked on an outdoor grill, which in turn creates more room in the kitchen. SMOKED — The turkey is cooked in a smoker, a type of barbecuing or slow cooking that adds to the flavor. SPATCHCOCKED — The turkey is laid flat — backbone removed — for quicker cooking time and crispier skin. Source: Reviewed.com, part of the USA Today network One of those chefs is her husband, Eric. He recommends two types of turkey-prep methods. The first is spatchcocking — when the bird is flattened into one layer by removing the backbone — which a butcher can do. In turn, the meat is moist and the skin is crunchier. The reason Eric likes it is because he can get butter and herbs beneath the skin. “And everything cooks at the same time,” he said. The second style Eric prefers is a roulade turkey. The bird is butterflied, filled with ingredients such as aromatics and greens, rolled up and roasted. For the inside, Eric likes to use a bitter green, such as kale, and sweet potatoes or cranberries. “If you want a little crunch,” he said, “you can put in some nuts, like pecans.” The final product is a slice of meat with a kick of flavor in the center. SEE TURKEY, P15
for?
WORLD’S SIMPLEST TURKEY from the Food Network, an American cable channel Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pull the neck and giblets out of the cavity; throw out the liver and save the rest of the giblets for gravy. Dry the turkey with paper towels, season inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill the turkey with chopped onions, carrots, apples and herbs, then place breast-side up in a roasting pan and brush with melted butter. Tent with foil and roast for 2 hours — for a 10- to 12-pound turkey; add an extra 15 minutes per pound for larger birds. Remove the foil, baste with more melted butter and crank the oven to 425 degrees. Roast for another hour or until the meat at the thigh registers 165 degrees. Let rest while you make the gravy.

TURKEY from page 14 Use your resources
One step into a supermarket and you’ll find everything you need, from the recipe to the ingredients. Several food-focused magazines, such as Saveur, Food & Wine and the Food Network, are sold in chain grocery stores. Some publications, like Bon Appetit Magazine, list ingredients and step-by-step directions. The easy-tofollow lingo makes cooking for a crowd a little less daunting. And if you’re in a time crunch, some supermarkets will prepare the entire Thanksgiving meal. Whole Foods Market has a selection of Thanksgiving menus online, including the Classic Thanksgiving Dinner Menu, the Unexpected Thanksgiving Menu, the Vegan Thanksgiving Menu and more. All menu items include ingredients, directions, number of servings and nutritional information. All you have to do is fill out a form online or in-store and voila — your Thanksgiving meal is taken care of.
Make a reservation
If you want to skip the dirty dishes, several restaurants in metro Denver offer Thanksgiving Day specials. Kachina Southwestern Grill, 10600 Westminster Blvd. in Westminster, is hosting an allyou-can-eat meal starting at 11 a.m. on Nov. 24.
Recommendations are strongly recommended, said Andrea Keller, morning supervisor. “People come back every year for the food,” Keller said. The cost is $45 per adult and $15 per child. The restaurant serves a traditional turkey dinner with a southwestern flare. On the dessert menu is churros and spicy chocolate ice cream. Customers like the idea of unlimited food and being waited on, Keller said. “And it’s the atmosphere in the restaurant,” she said. “It’s just comforting.” Another option is Zink Kitchen + Bar. The Greenwood Village restaurant, at 7801 E Orchard Road, offers a Thanksgiving buffet from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 24. Reservations are required. The cost is $37.95 for adults, $16.95 for ages 7-15 and free for ages 6 and under. Zink will have a hot, cold and sweet bar equipped with traditional Thanksgiving plates, such as slow-roasted turkey breast with thyme country gravy, loaded mashed potatoes and house-made pumpkin pie. The buffet is an experience, the restaurant’s host, Ricky Pheng, said. The chefs are approachable, the service is quick and the food is comforting. “We will make you feel like you’re not just here to eat,” Pheng said. “You’re here to be a part of the celebration of Thanksgiving.”
Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means it’s time to start planning for turkey prep. The options are endless, from a traditional roast turkey to a grilled turkey on top of a beer can. ALEX DEWIND
Nontraditional recipes If you’re looking to stray away from a roasted turkey, check out these not-so-traditional recipes: Salt- and-Pepper Grilled Turkey Ingredients: 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup coarse salt 2 tablespoons freshly ground pepper 1 large fresh or thawed frozen turkey — about 22 pounds — rinsed and patted dry. Directions: Combine oil, salt, and pepper to make a paste. Rub over outside of turkey. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place about 50 coals in a chimney starter, and ignite; heat until just gray. Place a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum roasting pan in the center of the bottom rack. Pour coals onto rack on either side of pan, dividing them evenly. Replace top grill rack. Place turkey on center of rack over pan, and cover. Grill, adding 8 coals to each pile every 45 minutes to maintain heat, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding bone, registers 165 degrees. Begin checking after about 3 hours. Tent with parchment-lined foil. Let stand 30 minutes. Source: marthastewart. com BBQ Turkey Ingredients 2 cups butter, divided 15-pound whole turkey, neck and giblets removed ¼ cup chicken soup base
3 sweet onions, peeled and cut into wedges 5 apples, cored and cut into wedges 2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste 750-milliliter bottle dry white wine Directions: Preheat a gas grill for low heat. Rub some of the butter all over the turkey, inside and out, then rub with chicken base. Cut remaining butter into cubes and toss with onions, apples and garlic in a large bowl. Stuff the bird with this mixture and place in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Fold the turkey skin around the neck area to cover the hole. Turn the turkey over and pour wine into the opening at the other end until the turkey is full. Set the turkey breast side up. Place the roasting pan on the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you have a pop-up timer or heat-safe meat thermometer, insert it into the turkey breast. Close the lid. Roast until the temperature in the breast reads 170 degrees and the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees, about 4 hours depending on the temperature. When the temperature is getting close, remove the aluminum foil covering the turkey and allow it to brown during the final minutes of cooking. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. Source: allrecipes.com

AUTISM from page 10 employment programs and other integration services for between 100 and 150 clients a week, getting clients out of their home and into their neighborhoods. The next place she wants to take people with intellectual disabilities is the ballot box. A 2013 study from Lisa Schur, a professor at the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations, found that people with disabilities vote at a lower rate than other segments of the population. Approximately 3 million eligible disabled citizens didn’t participate in the 2012 election. Reasons for the low turnout range from poor accessibility for those with physical impairments to attitudes of poll workers who question the eligibility of a voter who arrives with someone to assist them in the ballot booth. While Thome said she isn’t anticipating any problems on Election Day, Nov. 8, she is reaching out to county election officials and attorneys in the field to ensure things go smoothly when she and her volunteers get out the vote. “No one can be denied their vote because the people around them are unsure of their intellectual capabilities,” she said. “We’re hoping we don’t have any issues but if we do we’re happy to go out and advocate for them.” Anyone able to “direct” their vote, by speaking, signing or pointing at a ballot is legally able to vote, and Thome said Garden’s volunteers are professionally trained to modify information to help their clients understand their choices. The staff also calls clients to ensures they’ve received their ballots, arrange transportation to polling places and in some cases, accompany clients into the voting booth to help them cast their vote. What they don’t do is offer suggestions or opinions. Caitlyn Schall, the Garden employee who helped Xiao complete his registration, said the many ballot initia-

tives and amendments on this year’s ballot make her services especially necessary. “It’s a really daunting process to begin with,” she said. “It was hard enough for my boyfriend — it took him two days to fill it out.” At day’s end, the drive registered five new voters. It may not seem like a lot, but for Thome, and those five newly registered voters, the drive was a success. “We were able to register five individuals who wouldn’t have otherwise been given the opportunity” to vote, she said. “We’ll count it as a win.” Thome said Garden will host registration drives in future elections, and they’re still available to help anyone they didn’t see at the drive vote this year. “We’re working to build a conversation in the community, and in two years we’ll have that conversation again,” she said. “We’ve started something that will only get bigger and better.”

‘Luscious Watercolors’ brings light to Littleton Town Hall Arts Center hosts artworks by three painters BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Luscious Watercolors” will brighten Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery in Littleton as our days grow shorter. It will feature three painters, opening Nov. 8 and closing on Jan. 10. A Meet-the-Artists reception is planned for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18. Participating artists are Rosanne Sterne (Littleton), Anita Winter (Centennial) and Patricia Barr Clarke (Highlands Ranch) — all members of the Colorado Watercolor Society, with distinctive individual styles. Longtime Littleton resident Sterne, who exhibits her work at Willow, an Artisan’s Market in Littleton and the Niza Knoll Gallery in Denver, will include landscapes from Colorado, New Mexico and Vermont, she wrote. Sterne is also a musician (first flute in the Littleton Symphony) and poet. She said her paintings “are expressions of life and optimism, windows into human experience and explorations of color.” Patricia Barr Clarke and her husband moved to Highlands Ranch recently after living in Denver’s Park Hill for 37 years. She is a longtime plein air painter, a member of the Denver Art Students League and loves to travel. She recently spent 10 days in Willemstad, Curacao, in the Caribbean, where she exhibited and conducted workshops. She is represented by the Santa Fe Fine Art Brokerage in New Mexico and has had work included in Littleton’s annual Own an Original show. (The 2016 OAO opens in midNovember.) Anita Winter participated in the recent Jefferson County “In Plein Sight” event, held in Jeffco’s beautiful park system, as well as a similar 2016 event hosted by the Douglas County Land Conservancy. She is represented by Willow, an Artisan’s Market in Littleton and The Framed Image in Denver. She teaches at Judy Patti’s popular Art Studio on South Broadway in
“Quiet Sea” by Anita Winter is included in the “Lucious Watercolors” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton. Littleton and elsewhere. She has been interested in art since childhood, growing up in Michigan and Mexico City. She paints in watercolor and more recently in oils and says her “goal is to capture a moment in time.” She paints “to celebrate, explore and give thanks …”

Author to share thoughts on narrative in Englewood Hampton Sides has covered epic topics BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Hampton Sides, editor of Outside magazine and best-selling historian, will speak at 2 p.m. Nov. 5 in Hampden Hall, on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway.

First place was won by Chuck Danford for his painting of an elk bull and cows in a golden landscape, “Hunt of the Rut.” Second place went to Robert Eilert for his large, striking oil painting, “Seven Brides a-Ridin’,” which shows a group of presumably Muslim women from the back, clad in colorful veils. Third place went to Phyllis Vandehaar’s watercolor, “We’ll Leave the Light On.” Juror’s picks were Robert Gray’s watercolor “Blue Ridge,” Matt Lay’s graphite drawing “Cologne Cathedral,” and Lee Wasilik’s “High Sierras,” an acrylic painting.

“Experimental Abstract,” “Before Time,” “7 Bridesmaids a-Ridin’,” “Fox News,” “We’ll Leave the Light On …” These are among the titles of 75 paintings that hang in Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County’s 40-year-old “This is Colorado” exhibit, founded by the late Betty Neudeck in 1976. The engaging exhibit was celebrated at a reception on Oct. 21 that broke attendance records at the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. (Gallery curator Trish Sangelo had counted over 225 visitors when I departed— and there still was almost an hour to go.) It closes today, Nov. 3, although a number of works will hang at other locations at Arapahoe Community College in future months — a nice arrangement that decorates administrative offices and gives the artists more exposure.

Leaves, tires rounded up at facility in Sheridan
Two more dates offered to take advantage of recycling opportunity BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
More than a half dozen vehicles waited their turn to check in and drop off their loads Oct. 30 as volunteers helped residents of Englewood and Littleton unload tires, dump leaves, or both, to be recycled during the annual Leaf and Tire Roundup. The Keep Englewood Beautiful Committee annually joins forces with Littleton to provide an opportunity for residents of the two cities to recycle tires and leaves. The roundup will again be conducted from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 at Mountain States Wood Recycling, 2300 W. Radcliff St., Sheridan. There is no charge for leaves. Grass clippings or other yard debris will not be accepted. Those dropping off leaves are asked to leave the bags open so they can more easily be dumped. The bags can be returned at the owner’s request. There is a fee to recycle tires. It will cost $2 to drop off an unmounted tire and $5 for each tire mounted on a rim. There are additional fees for oversized tires, and the program will not accept tractor or monster tires. For more information, go to the website at www.englewoodgov.org/ KEB or call 303-762-2345. Cathie Lucas was one of the people who dropped off leaves at the Oct. 30 roundup. She said the event is a great service as she and a volunteer dumped her plastic bags of leaves on the growing leaf pile. “I like the fact I can get rid of all the leaves in my yard without having to put them in the trash,” she said. “This is one load and there are more
Leaves fly onto the pile as Jeremy Lott dumps one bag and volunteer Brucek Werner prepares to dump another bag on the growing pile of leaves during the Oct. 30 Leaf and Tire Roundup. Residents can drop off leaves free and pay a small fee for tires, so both leaves and tires will be recycled during the two remaining events Nov. 6 and Nov. 13. TOM MUNDS to come.” Englewood resident Margo Casey said she is a regular at each year’s roundup. “I have huge trees in my yard and recycling the leaves like this helps
the ecology,” she said. “I have already been here three times today and I’ll probably make a couple more trips.” Jeremy Lott, a volunteer at the Oct. 30 event, said it had already been a busy day.

“There was a line of cars and trucks waiting for us when we opened today,” he said. “I guess we will have 200 or more vehicles use the service by the time we close down at 2 p.m.”

Arapahoe advances in tourney In first round, Warriors down Aurora Central BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Arapahoe, sparked by a quick tally and the goalkeeping of Jeremy Belin, downed Aurora Central 3-1 in a Class 5A first-round soccer playoff game Oct. 27 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. The Warriors scored in the first minute of the game and Belin made seven saves, including two big ones in the first half with Arapahoe protecting its 1-0 lead. “Jeremy, our goalkeeper, came up huge,” Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire said. “He’s a senior goalkeeper
and a very humble young man. He played his junior and sophomore year behind an all-state goalkeeper in James Conley and learned from one of the best we’ve had. It’s benefitted him... he is seizing the opportunity.”
Key moments Raid Conant, off a corner kick from Evan Bunch, was in front of the shot deflected by the Trojans’ keeper and the ball went off his back and into the net to push Arapahoe ahead 1-0 in the first minute of the game. Belin made two key stops later in the first half to protect the lead and then the Warriors sealed the win with two second-half goals. Key players/statistics Conant scored his fifth goal in the

past three games. Cameron Gail scored on a penalty kick in the 62nd minute to push Arapahoe ahead, 2-0, and Noah Anthony scored with six minutes left in the match to secure the win after Aurora Central had trimmed its disadvantage to one goal in the 66th minute. Besides Bunch, Jacob Draudt and Danny Trawick were credited with assists for Arapahoe.
They said it “We were very fortunate to have taken care of some things we needed to take care of but we’re far from where we need to be,” Hampshire said. “Things get tough from here and we definitely have some things to SEE SOCCER, P31
STANDOUT PERFORMERS
Mikey Thomas| football, track and basketball athlete Ponderosa High School What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is “Varsity Blues” because it’s really funny and is all about high school football. Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? Drew Brees is my favorite athlete because he proves that size doesn’t matter in football and if you are skilled enough you can be successful. Why do you participate in sports? I play sports because it gives me an opportunity to compete against someone and win. They also give me a sense of team and family. What is your favorite subject in school? My favorite subject is science because it is hands-on and interactive. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? Before we leave for the stadium, I put all of my lower pads on and once we get to the stadium I always put my left shoe on first in the same spot in the locker room every time. What is your favorite book? My favorite book is “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald because I enjoy how it describes the life of people during the Roaring Twenties.

onderosa’s Cameron Nuzman didn’t have any teammates in the race, but he wasn’t alone while running the course at Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs during the state cross country championships. Nuzman warmed up by himself, not with six or seven teammates like many fellow competitors. He was the only Ponderosa runner who qualified for OVERTIME the Oct. 29 state meet. But many members of the Mustangs’ team were on hand to support Nuzman. “It helps to have the team there, even if they were not running,” he said. Nuzman, a senior, Jim Benton finished 43rd in the boys 4A race with a time of 17:12.5. Green Mountain freshman Kasey Klocek, who was the only Rams’ qualifier in the girls 4A race, was fourth in the individual standings with a 19:12.6 clocking. “It wasn’t bad being the only runner,” she said. “I had the team cheering me on.”
An ice day I have always admired runners, but sometimes it doesn’t look fun at the end of cross country races. It was a warm day with the temperature reaching near 75 degrees at the state cross country championships and there were plenty of runners ushered into the medical tent for aid. It looked way too busy to me, but apparently it was not unusual, according to a medical technician who said it was pretty typical with dehydration, exhaustion and swelled knees and ankles after falls. It was estimated that at the start of the day there were at least 30, 20-pound bags of ice on hand to help runners recover. Jeffco softball honors Jefferson County announced its allleague softball selections, and the top individual honors were shared by four schools. Arvada West’s Brenna Millikan was tabbed as the Class 5A Coach of the Year and pitcher Gianna Browly of Ralston Valley was selected as the Most Valuable Player. In the Class 4A Jeffco, Valor Christian junior pitcher Ali Kilponen was named the Player of the Year and Dan Porreco of D’Evelyn was the Coach of the Year. CHSAA Hall of Fame inductees Mary Shea, a standout athlete at Thornton, and Ron Vlasin, who coached basketball at Arapahoe and Littleton, are two of the eight people being inducted in the Colorado High SEE BENTON, P31

Learning about the dangers of knee injuries For female athletes, an anterior cruciate ligament injury can mean months on sidelines BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Ponderosa junior Maddie Gabel has a vivid memory of last season’s state playoff soccer game in which she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. “I slid and blocked a shot, and once I made contact (with the ground), that’s when I heard it pop,” she said of the sound coming from her knee. “It took 10 months total for a full recovery.” Gabel was far from alone in her plight on the sidelines. Numerous studies have concluded that girls and women are more susceptible to ACL injuries than boys and men, with most reports stating female athletes are four to eight times more likely to tear the knee ligament. “There are more ACL injuries in women ... Younger women are more at risk, usually the adolescents, teenagers and up to the early 20s, in general,” said Dr. Michele Wolcott, an associate professor in the University of Colorado Department of Orthopedics. In the Douglas County School Dis-
trict over the past five years, 42 ACL injuries in girls have been reported. Katherine West, head trainer for Jefferson County Public Schools, said there were 69 knee injuries among girls in Jeffco in the past six years, and 27 were ACL injuries. Why does it happen? Sports like soccer, basketball and volleyball that require one-step deceleration, changing direction and jumping put the most strain on athletes’ ACLs, those of girls and women in particular, experts say. But why are female athletes more susceptible to the injury? “Obviously, there is a difference between females and males,” said Dr. Mitchell Seemann, team physician for Regis University and D’Evelyn High School. “There have been a couple conferences over the past few years that have come together to try to figure out why (there are more ACL injuries among women). The most common reason for it is what we call neuromuscular factors.” One factor includes less hamstring strength in female athletes than in their male counterparts, according to certified chiropractic sports physician Dr. Steven Horwitz, writing on the website MomsTeam, a resource for parents of athletes. Stronger hamstrings can help protect against ACL injuries, he said.
What is an ACL injury? According to mayoclinic.org, an “ACL injury is the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament — one of the major ligaments in your knee. ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops, jumping or changes in direction — such as basketball, soccer, football, tennis, downhill skiing, volleyball and gymnastics. “Many people hear or feel a ‘pop’ in the knee when an ACL injury occurs. Your knee may swell, feel unstable and become
too painful to bear weight. Depending on the severity of your ACL injury, treatment may include rest and rehabilitation exercises to help you regain strength and stability or surgery to replace the torn ligament followed by rehabilitation.” A ligament, according to, merriam-webster.com, is “a tough piece of tissue in your body that holds bones together or keeps an organ in place.”

KNEE from page 28 Other factors, experts say, include ligaments that tend to have more give, a smaller ACL and tendency toward poor, flat-footed landings after jumping, which puts the knee in a positon to buckle and stress the ACL. “We can address some factors,” Wolcott said. “We can’t change their skeleton or size, so we work on (what) we can, which is how you jump, land and control your landings. “There are all sorts of jumps, landing drills, running around cones and doing some agility (drills), doing the cutting and pivoting things when you are not in a game situation so you are controlled and focused on doing it correctly.” Trying to prevent injuries Seemann and West attempted to establish a Jeffco districtwide ACLinjury prevention plan called the Cincinnati Sportsmetrics Program a few years ago. “We did have to abandon it, and we learned something,” Seemann said. “One, coaches don’t want to take 15 or 20 minutes out of their practice to do this kind of stuff. The other factor is girls this age tend not to think this is going to happen to them. “The major thing is it had to be done in a setting where you have perhaps one trainer and 30 kids on a soccer team. The key to the training is you have to make sure they are doing the training properly.” Some area coaches are trying to take proactive measures. Horizon’s softball team lost starting pitcher Kayla Kascak, who said she was hurt during a routine outfield drill in late August. Hawks softball coach Gary Mares is aware of the importance of hamstring training. He has his players do a variety of exercises to strengthen hamstrings and other lower-body muscles. “It is very important to train both the front quads and back hamstrings while training the leg muscles,” he said. Castle View’s new girls soccer coach, Nichol Rodriguez, played college soccer for Notre Dame and the Puerto Rican national team and seven years in the Women’s Premier Soccer League. “We will be implementing ACL prevention once a week during the season at the end of practices,” Rodriguez said of what’s ahead this spring. “Also, all of the lifting that is done in the offseason seeks to strengthen all of the muscles and ligaments around the knee for a preventive measure.” Former University of Utah and National Basketball Association standout Keith Van Horn is executive director of the Premier Basketball Club, which has locations in Evergreen, Parker and

Grand Junction. He said the club puts a strong focus on ACL-prevention techniques. “The teams that I coach at the beginning of every practice, with the girls, we implement a few warmup drills that incorporate the proper landing technique, knee positioning, hip strengthening and a number of different things in areas that tend to cause ACL injuries. We started working with an agility group that comes in and works with all of our kids.” Arapahoe girls basketball coach Jerry Knafelc has had one athlete, a junior varsity player, go down with an ACL injury in the past six seasons. He said training in the summer, fall and during the season has helped mitigate the ACL injuries. Knafelc said the workouts include movement training, bleacher jumps, lifts with an emphasis on getting the glutes to activate, making sure the knees don’t come in when jumping or landing, and having girls look in the mirror to make sure their posture is correct. “We put a lot of time into it,” he said. “That’s the only way it can happen … You have to have somebody with them to make sure they are doing it correctly.” No such thing as prevention? Gabel, the Ponderosa soccer player, said she’s not sure how much the drills and exercises help to prevent injuries like the one she sustained. “Before I got hurt, I had done those exercises and after I got hurt, I have done a lot of them,” Gabel said. “As a preventive measure, I don’t really think it helps, but it’s always good to strengthen your muscles and try to do anything you can. “What it comes down to, if it’s going to tear, it’s going to tear.”

Lions make strides against competition at state race Littleton’s Addi Iken finishes eighth in season’s biggest meet BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton junior Addi Iken smiled as she was about to climb onto the awards podium at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs. Addi, the lone competitor from her school, was eighth in the Class 4A individual race at the state high school cross country championships on a warm Oct. 29 day.

She was the top runner from Littleton Public Schools. Addi was timed in 19:28.6. “It was a hard race. It was hot and I was running against very good people,” she said. “But I was trying to finish in the top 10 and I did. “Finishing where I did was very important to me because I worked so hard to reach that goal this year, I am happy and it was cool to go up there on the podium to receive my medal.” She improved five places from her 2015 finish. “I was a little sad that I got outkicked at the end of the race,” Iken said. “But I finished 13th last year and I wanted to finish in the top 10 this year.”

Senior Devon Peterson, of Cherry Creek, was 10th in the girls Class 5A race as the Bruins, last season’s state runners-up, were sixth in the team standings. “I felt pretty strong,” Peterson said. “I probably should have picked it up more at the end but I’m pretty happy overall.” Morgan Conn of Arapahoe was the 43rd individual to cross the finish line. In the boys 5A competition, Arapahoe senior James Logan was 11th and the Warriors were 11th in the team standings. Cherry Creek senior Kyle Morgan helped the Bruins finished seventh as a team and he was seventh in the individual race.

BENTON, from page 27: New boys lacrosse coach named at ThunderRidge School Activities Association’s 2016 Hall of Fame class. The 2016 class will be inducted during ceremonies Jan. 25, 2017 at the Radisson Hotel-Denver Southeast, I-225 and Parker Road. Shea played volleyball, basketball and tennis at Thornton and helped the Trojans win the 1980 state basketball title as a senior. She played college basketball at Wyoming and coached the Thornton volleyball team in 1997 and 1998. Vlasin compiled a 546-165 record
in 32 years as a basketball coach. He coached at Merino, Littleton and Arapahoe. In six seasons at Arapahoe, the Warriors compiled a 96-23 record, and his Littleton basketball teams were 125-64 in nine seasons. He also coached baseball at Arapahoe for six seasons. New ThunderRidge boys lacrosse coach Colton Mattei has been named the new boys lacrosse coach at ThunderRidge. Mattei, son of Regis Jesuit girls
basketball coach Carl Mattei, coached the past two seasons at Machebeuf where he compiled a 6-23-0 record for a program that had won a combined five games in the previous three seasons. He inherits a ThunderRidge program that has gone 21-39-0 in the past four years. A play to remember Several people have commented that the final play of the Oct. 28 football game between Cherry Creek and
Prairie View was one to remember. Prairie View senior Patrick McKinney, who is wheel chair bound with cerebral palsy, was given a hand-off and wheeled into the end zone while being cheered on by Thunderhawk and Bruins players.

SOCCER, from page 27: Arapahoe will face Rangeview in state tournament work on.” Belin stood tall in making his two first-half saves and said the two years he spent as the Warriors’ backup were constructive. “I just tried to come out and make myself as big
as possible,” he said. “I tried to make sure that nothing was getting by me. I’ve been doing it all my life. By watching James, I learned so much just by seeing my fellow players and seeing how they react to certain situations.”
