MY NAME IS
SHARLENE BRIGGS
Small business supporter, 13-year resident About me My husband, Paul, and I have lived in the Littleton area for 13 years. We live with our dog and cat and we love it here. I grew up in Southern California but my sister and I both followed our parents back to Colorado when they retired. My dad was raised on a farm in Wheat Ridge and my mom was a city girl who grew up in Denver. I studied at Red Rocks Community College and then earned bachelor’s degrees in marketing and international business at CU Denver and graduated summa cum laude. My work I run RelyLocalLittleton.com, which is a grassroots community campaign
to support small businesses in the Littleton area. It makes it easy to shop locally with an online directory, coupons and an event calendar. Before starting it five years ago, I was a marketing and sales manager for two local directories, and I noticed that it was difficult for small businesses to afford advertising and compete with the bigbox stores.
Sharlene Briggs runs RelyLocalLittleton. com and enjoys hiking, cooking and going to concerts.
My hobbies My husband and I enjoy going to concerts, fishing, birding, gardening and cooking together. Giving back to our community is very important to both of us. We have our booth at many events in the area, and Paul is a musician and plays at a lot of events. We also throw monthly events ourselves, we have one coming up on Nov. 30 at Blue Spruce Brewing Company in Centennial.

State board of education race coming down to wire ELECTION 2016: ROUNDUP OF RESULTS
STAFF REPORT
The race for the state board of education, Congressional District 6 seat was too close to call six days after the election. Democrat Rebecca McClellan had 50.1 percent of the vote to Republican Debora Scheffel’s 49.9 percent. McClellan, a former Centennial City Council member, trailed by a slim margin after Election Night, Nov. 8, but took a narrow lead after further vote counting by the end of last week in her race against the incumbent Scheffel, of Parker. With ballots still being counted, McClellan had a 959-vote lead out of 355,009 votes tallied. “This is a diverse district, where a broad spectrum of perspectives are represented. A recount is possible depending on the results this week,” McClellan said in a news release Nov. 14. “I’m hoping we’ll have a winning result for my campaign, but regardless of what happens, we must ensure every child in Colorado has access to a high-quality public education that ensures a bright future for them and our state.” The margin as it stood the morning of Nov. 14 was just outside the threshold for an automatic recount, according to an Arapahoe County spokeswoman. The district includes Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, most of Littleton, Brighton and parts of Thornton.
The following are unofficial results in races of local interest: 1st Congressional District Diana DeGette, Democrat, 67.7 percent; Casper Stockham, Republican, 28.1 percent; Darrell Dinges, Libertarian, 4.2 percent Incumbent DeGette, who was first elected to the seat 20 years ago, was voted in for two more years. The district includes Denver, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village and Bow Mar. 6th Congressional District Mike Coffman, Republican, 51 percent; Morgan Carroll, Democrat, 42.6 percent; Norm Olsen, Libertarian, 5 percent; Robert Lee Worthey, Green, 1.5 percent Incumbent Coffman, of Aurora, won a hotly contested race. Along with Au-
rora, the district includes Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, most of Littleton, Brighton and parts of Thornton. State Senate District 26 Daniel Kagan, Democrat, 53.45 percent; Nancy Doty, Republican, 46.55 percent In the race to replace termlimited Democrat Linda Newell, Kagan, of Cherry Hills Village, emerged as the winner. The district includes Littleton, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Sheridan, Bow Mar and Columbine Valley. State House District 3 Jeff Bridges, Democrat, 52.5 percent; Katy Brown, Republican, 47.5 percent In the race to replace Democrat Daniel Kagan, Bridges, of Greenwood Village, was the winner. The district includes Engle-
wood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and a small portion of Littleton. State House District 38 Susan Beckman, Republican, 57.8 percent; Robert Bowen, Democrat, 42.2 percent In the race to replace Republican Kathleen Conti, who chose to run instead for county commissioner, Beckman, a former county commissioner, was the voters’ choice. The district includes most of Littleton, a chunk of west Centennial, Columbine Valley and Bow Mar. RTD director, District D Jeffrey Walker, 100 percent The Denver resident ran unopposed in his reelection bid. His district, in addition to a chunk of south Denver, includes Englewood, Bow Mar and Sheridan.
RTD director, District H Doug Tisdale, 100 percent The Cherry Hills Village resident did not have an opponent in his bid to replace term-limited Kent Bagley. In addition to Cherry Hills Village, the district includes Columbine Valley, western Centennial, much of Greenwood Village and most of Littleton and Highlands Ranch. Arapahoe County commissioner, District 1 Kathleen Conti, Republican, 100 percent The state representative since 2010 chose to run for commissioner instead of seeking re-election to the Legislature. The Littleton resident ran unopposed in her bid to serve her home city, along with Englewood, Sheridan, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley and western Centennial on the board of commissioners.

Coffman wins another term in CD6 what was expected to be one of Colorado’s tightest contests. The district was watched by national media and was called a tossup leading up to the election by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, political prediction website 270towin.com and The Cook Political Report. “This has been an epic battle,” Coffman said in his victory speech. “For months, the 6th Congressional District has been targeted as one of the top races in the country.” Coffman said that Democratic efforts to unseat him with high-profile
BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, made a victory speech from a hotel in the Denver Tech Center just after 9 p.m. on Election Night, Nov. 8. “We won tonight because our message was right,” Coffman said. Coffman had secured a fifth term representing the 6th Congressional District. In taking 51 percent of the vote, his margin of victory over Aurora Democrat Morgan Carroll, a state senator who received about 43 percent, surprised many pundits in
Bridges’ win keeps House District 3 in Democratic hands Winner cites respect for voters as crucial factor BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jeff Bridges complimented his opponent as he talked about his victory in the race for the state House District 3 seat the morning after the election. “Katy Brown ran a great campaign,” the Democrat from Greenwood Village said Nov. 9. “She is a leader in our community and I look forward to working with her to build an even better Colorado. She called to congratulate me and I hope we can work together.” He said he believes he won the election because, in what became a dehumanizing political climate, he and those campaigning for him treated voters with respect. “We treated them like people by listening,” he said. “Our team had personal conversations with more than a quarter of the people who voted. I look forward to taking those stories to the Legislature with me.” Bridges defeated Brown, a Republican
a close victory over Democrat Joe Miklosi in 2012, receiving 45.9 percent of the vote to 44 percent. In 2012, he won a decisive victory over Andrew Romanoff with 50.5 percent to 41.8 percent. The district includes Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Littleton and part of Adams County. Carroll, who spent much of her campaign trying to tie Coffman to Donald Trump, could not be reached for comment on Election Night. Coffman said in the lead-up to Election Day that he would not vote for Trump, who went on to win the presidency.
visits to the district by U.S, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile and others had failed, and he thanked the state and national Republican Party for help with voter Coffman turnout efforts. Coffman was first elected to represent the then-Republican stronghold in 2008, and he won easily that year and in 2010. After district lines shifted following the 2010 Census, making CD6 more diverse, he won
from Cherry Hills Village, 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent. He will replace Democrat Daniel Kagan, who was term-limited in the House and won a seat in the state Senate on Nov. 8. The district includes Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and a small portion of Littleton. Bridges, an Arapahoe High School graduate who is self-employed, said the campaign was deeply rewarding. “The best part was talking to the people we will represent as they shared their stories and comments with us,” Bridges said. Bridges “Talking one-on-one with people was definitely my favorite part of the campaign.” The newly elected members of the state House and Senate will be sworn in when the Legislature opens its 2017 session in January. “We will be preparing to take office,” Bridges said. “I believe the best way to prepare to be a state legislator is to continue to talk with the people I will represent.”
Kagan goes from state House to state Senate Democrat takes seat with victory over county commissioner BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In the race for state Senate District 26, a state representative defeated a county commissioner. Democrat Daniel Kagan, of Cherry Hills Village, won with a little more than 53 percent of the vote in his race against Nancy Doty, a Republican from Littleton who sought the Senate seat instead of running for re-election as Arapahoe County commissioner for District 1. “I’ve had tremendous support,” Kagan, who has represented state House District 3 since 2009, said on Election Night. “I attribute my success to my campaign staff and volunteers. And to the common sense of the voters of Arapahoe County.” Doty, who served as the county clerk and recorder before joining
INDIA’S BEST
the board of commissioners, could not be reached for comment on Election Night. The state Senate seat is currently held by term-limited Democrat Linda Newell, of Littleton. The district encompasses Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and parts of Centennial and Aurora. Kagan said his main goal in the Senate is to responsibly guide impending budget cuts. “I want to make sure that the pain of that doesn’t fall on the poorly represented,” Kagan he said. Kagan was appointed to the state House in 2009 to replace retiring state Rep. Anne McGihon and was elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2012 and 2014. Born in England, Kagan holds a law degree from Yale Law School. Doty was the Arapahoe County clerk and recorder from 2004 to 2013, when she assumed office as county commissioner.

Littleton High School senior describes his election experience At 17, Littleton High School senior Clayton Pratt can’t vote yet, but he spent Nov. 8 as an Arapahoe County election judge at a voter service and polling center in Centennial. Election judges check in and process voters and ensure eligible voters are able to cast their ballot. Why are you working as an election judge? I’m in civics class and it’s a requirement to do something politically related, but I’ve also been really invested in this election and wanted to have a helping hand in the process. How have you liked working Election Day?
I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s been fun because there’s lot of people here. Are you interested in doing anything in politics in the future? I don’t really know yet. I enjoy politics, but it seems like a lot of stress. Right now I plan to study business in college. Is the first election you’ve paid close attention to? Yeah, I didn’t really understand it during the last election. We’ve talked a lot in civics class about how strange this election is. Even my teacher says that this the weirdest, but also most interesting, election he’s seen.
Littleton High School senior Clayton Pratt spent the day as an election judge at an Arapahoe County polling location. KYLE HARDING

Surgical technician receives prison time for tampering Man who swapped syringe at Englewood hospital gets 78-month term BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rocky Allen will serve 78 months in a federal prison and three years of supervised release for taking a syringe of fentanyl from a Swedish Medical Center operating room in January 2016. Allen had entered a guilty plea on July 12 to tampering with a consumer product and obtaining a controlled substance by deception.
U.S. District Court Judge Raymond Moore handed down the sentence Nov. 7. Allen, who is free on bond and living in a halfway house, was released after the sentencing and ordered to report to the designated prison within 15 days of the designation of the facility by the Bureau of Prisons. Allen worked as a surgical technician at Swedish Medical Center from August 2015 until January 2016. On Jan. 22, Swedish employees reported seeing Allen replace a syringe of fentanyl with a syringe containing saline solution. According to reports, Allen falsely labeled the saline solution syringe as fentanyl. The saline solution syringe SEE PRISON, P9
Is carpet cleaning on your holiday checklist?
As we prepare for guests this holiday season, many of our to-do lists include carpet cleaning. A simple thing like professional carpet cleaning could pollute our stormwater. Water used in the cleaning process contains yucky stuff that nobody wants in the waterways. If carpet cleaning is on your list, make sure the water is disposed of in the toilet or down a floor drain. Ask your professional how they dispose of the carpet cleaning liquid. And remember never dump it in the street. Local stormwater agencies are teaming together to bring you this message. We take this so seriously that we posted this ad rather than send you more garbage in the mail. One thing is clear: our creeks, rivers and lakes depend on you.

The Jan. 22 state suspension report stated that Allen submitted to drug testing and was found to have Fentan-

BUSINESS: A day to support local shops FROM PAGE 10
In Castle Rock, the day will be celebrated at the Douglas County Fairgrounds with the third annual Small Business Saturday Holiday Fair & Artisan Show, featuring about 150 small businesses. Many are local, but the event also draws from across the state and even Utah and Wyoming. “All of our vendors range from small local brick-and-mortar stores to stay-at-home artisans,” said Toni Garcia of Entirely Expos, which hosts the event, the largest of its kind in the state. Many of the biggest sellers on Black Friday are expensive electronics, which few small businesses carry and which can’t offer the kind of discounts that Walmart or Best Buy can. But customers at local shops will find — and buy — items that can’t be found at a big box store, Rice and Ozaluk agreed. “This is where you’re going to find your really unique gifts,” Ozaluk said. Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association, believes shoppers should support their local businesses over chain stores or online outlets whenever
possible. “Imagine what the world would be like if everyone just bought everything on the internet,” he said. Shane George, owner of Workhorse 45 General Store in Littleton, said his shop, which features many local goods, typically sees about a 20 percent increase in traffic on Small Business Saturday. “It ends up being one of our better weekend sales days,” he said. Another local Littleton store is celebrating two events that day — Nov. 26 also is the one-year anniversary of the opening of Zoey’s Place Natural Pet Market. Owner Kelly Kaliszewski said she is working with her vendors to be able to offer discounts, and will have treat bags for dogs that come into the store. “We get a lot of foot traffic over here,” she said. Littleton City Councilmember Bill Hopping is hopeful the day will be a boon to local businesses. “These boutique businesses are really what drives the economy here,” he said.
Helen Rice, left, owner of Willow — An Artisan’s Market, and employee Monea Murphy expect a big day on Nov. 26 for Small Business Saturday.

Even adversity contains fertile soil for bumper crop of gratitude
n last week’s column we revisited the attitude of gratitude and just how important it is to be sincerely appreciative for all of our blessings, successes and people in our lives. And to show our appreciation by recognizing and giving thanks for all the people who have impacted our lives. Showing gratitude in times of success or when receiving help is easy. We are usually riding the wave of achievement, happiness, or relief and we get caught up in thanking everyone around us. Many times you will hear people thanking God, or see people pointing to the sky to recognize God and show their gratitude while giving credit where credit belongs. We see this every week
in sports when someone scores a touchdown, hits a home run, or sinks a 50-foot putt. Now what about the title of this column and maybe a harder topic, like finding the attitude of gratitude during times of trouble and adversity? Again, showing gratitude when things are going really well is much easier for most of us than it is to be appreciative and giving thanks when things are not quite going our way. Many times we feel frustrated and we only see the trouble immediately in front of us. And when this happens our defense mechanisms kick into gear, and we have blinders on when it comes to the good that can possibly come from the trouble and adversity
we are facing. And when this happens it can diminish our ability to show appreciation and compromise our attitude of gratitude. Let me share a quick story with you. When I was a young 5-year-old boy my father had died. My mom remarried a couple of years later, however that marriage ended in divorce. My mom remarried again and unfortunately her husband died a couple of years later as well. Looking around at all of my other friends who still had their biological dad in their lives I often found myself angry and resentful. Very wrong attitude for sure, but I was young and it just didn’t seem right SEE NORTON, P13

Trump used system to advantage Throughout this improbable election season, a rising chorus was heard asking, why do we never seem to be able to muster a truly viable third-party candidate? I submit that Trump actually was that third party candidate, ensconced within the technical trappings of running as a Republican, with all the benefits and advantages ascribed to main-party contenders. No alternative-party candidate in modern times has ever won a single electoral vote (the last successful one being Lincoln). Even Ross Perot, who in 1992 created the short-lived Reform Party and stunned the political establishment with 19 percent of the popular vote, came up with zero electoral votes. Early on, numerous Republican luminaries flatly stated that Trump was not a Republican. This was based on their opinion that many of his espoused policies and positions differed from Republican orthodoxy, that he was a registered Democrat for seven years in the early 2000s, on his refusal to defer to Republican party leadership and on his shockingly impolite, glovesoff pounding of establishment Republicans running against him, as well as party icons like George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, etc. This populist wolf successfully hijacked the Republican sheep’s clothing as a necessary formality, in order to avoid the sure defeat of trying to create an entirely new party structure while concomitantly capturing the presidency. Another benefit of not pursuing the presidency via a third party, is that in the general election he had to face only one other major party candidate, not two as Perot did. He trounced all his traditional Republican challengers in the nomination process, thereby clearing them from the general election field entirely. He accurately gauged the mood of the electorate in the states he needed to win. And despite being outspent and out ground-gamed heavily, he captured the prize. As a patriot, I sincerely hope that his skill at winning the presidency as an insurgent candidate, will be matched by his skill in executing the duties of the office. Steve Terry Parker

There would be no happy ending. Not even a chance. But I would be in good company. Dylan Thomas. On Nov. 3, 1953, Thomas spent most of the day in bed drinking in a New York City hotel. He went out drinking that evening, returned to his hotel, and then left at 2 a.m., to drink some more. He later said, “I had 18 straight whiskeys. I think that’s the record,” although the bartender disputed it. He drank for the next few days, and died at noon on Nov. 9. Other writers: O. Henry, Raymond Chandler, James Thurber. The list of painters who drank themselves to death would fill out this column. The country is askew. Or I am. I am not in tune. That would be a good excuse. But a good excuse is not a good reason. The unthinkable validation of one man is not why I am here. It’s taken a long old time to figure out why I am here, and he is not any part of it. Not a particle, not a shred.
I have been disgusted before (O.J.), and I am sure I will be again. Twenty years ago, I’d be on my third drink by now, and it’s only 8 in the morning. The little green monkeys would come in and take me away from America. Instead, by 8 o’clock this morning, this had been started. And I looked at the floor and saw my dog. I looked at a photograph of Jennifer. If you think I am being melodramatic, try an addiction on for size. Smitty and I walked at sunrise, and the sun did rise. I opened a box of new paints and new brushes. I turned up the volume on Richard Ray’s morning program on KVOD. For a few moments in the middle of the night, I felt meaningless. I heard fireworks that woke me, and I knew exactly what that meant. People I have nothing in common with were celebrating the election of someone I have nothing in common with. Next to me, Smitty, who is losing his hearing, didn’t wake. I looked across the room, and saw a portrait I’d done of my girlfriend. And smiled.

or fair. But two things happened along the way. I got to spend so much quality time with my grandfather, whom I regarded as the greatest man alive. And although I was unsure of what I was missing by not technically having a dad, I had a grandfather who loved me and was more of a dad than I could have imagined or hoped for. The second thing that happened occurred in my early 20s. I was working as a youth group director and one of the kids coming to youth group seemed troubled and acted like a bit of a loner. After speaking with her, she shared with me that she had lost her father, her mom remarried, got divorced, remarried again, and got divorced again. In an instant I realized that the troubles and adversity that I had faced was just a way of preparing me for this very moment. It would have been so easy to say something like, “I think I know how you feel.” And that may have shown sympathy and concern, but by having the ability to say, “I know exactly how you feel because I lived the same story,” was so very powerful. I still remember the feeling of gratitude
and appreciation that I had because I was able to relate and help someone else find their own attitude of gratitude during their time of trouble and adversity. It is not a matter of “if ” challenges and difficult situations find us, it’s really only a matter of “when” they find us. And it is during these times that if we can look for the “good” in the mountains of what appears to be the “bad” piling up around us and maintain our attitude of gratitude, it is there that we will be able to see the opportunities, learning moments and teaching moments that can bring us back to joy and happiness. How about you? Is there something in front of you right now that is causing you anxiety, stress, trouble or grief ? If so, I would love to hear all about how you still recognize the “good” and find the ability to give thanks even in the midst of your challenges at gotnorton@gmail.com. And when we can find gratitude in adversity it really will be a better than good week.

n Nov. 8, Donald Trump became the presidentelect. This sent the futures market into deep decline in the overnight hours. However, after his acceptance speech, markets worldwide started to calm down and recovered nicely as of this writing. While the world digests the news, we expect markets to be volatile, as there remains uncertainty around what the new agenda for the White House will look like, even though for the moment, the markets appear to be favoring the change. This includes rallies initially in investments that will benefit from health-care reform, infrastructure
improvement and defense expansion, among others. Those areas where trade may be affected will be challenging, such as Emerging Markets. Since 1928, the Standard & Poor’s 500 — a widely watched benchmark of U.S. large-cap companies — has dropped in presidential election years that don’t include an incumbent seeking reelection. While we saw the year relatively flat and the month of October negative, this appears to be in line with history so far this year.

Metro residents explore unconventional workouts BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

or people like Highlands Ranch resident Devyn St. Aubin, a traditional gym setting or running program doesn’t work. Two years ago, she stumbled across a The Ballet Physique — a ballet barre studio in Lone Tree — and she hasn’t looked back. “I have bad knees, so running is out of the question for me,” said St. Aubin, 26. “I needed to find a workout that would hit all my areas.” And that’s what the workout that focuses on small movements does. “It doesn’t look intense, but it builds a really prominent burn in your muscles that you’re not going to get from some of the other classes out there,” said Ballet Physique owner Kristen Zurek. From ballet barre in Highlands Ranch to pole dancing in Arvada to UFC fighting in Westminster, metro-area residents are looking for alternative ways to stay in shape. Zurek, who has a professional dance background, discovered the ballet barre form of fitness while studying in New York City. When she moved to Colorado in 2008, the workout had yet to make it to Colorado. So Zurek started a studio from scratch and opened in downtown Littleton in 2010. She opened her second studio in Lone Tree in 2014. Over the years, the workout has become more popular throughout the Front Range. “When I came here, I couldn’t find a studio,” Zurek said, “and now there 50 of them.” But although “ballet” is in the name, Zurek noted that the workout is not ballet. The low-impact workout uses the ballet bar to help stabilize and leverage body weight. It’s designed to sculpt and tone long, lean danceresque muscles. Students at The Ballet Physique run the full spectrum, from teenagers who are trying to stay fit to 75-year-old women. “The nature of the workout appeals to many parts of the population because everyone wants to have strong and sculpted muscles,” Zurek said. “Mostly women between the ages of 30 and 60 — not dancers and not athletes. A lot of them have had kids and are just ready to get back into shape.” Pole dancing gaining steam Another dance form that is growing
Cori Ham concentrates on her bag during a kickboxing conditioning class at UFC Gym in Westminster. PHOTOS BY SHANNA FORTIER in the workout world is pole dancing. Colorado now has 12 pole dance fitness studios, with the majority located in Denver, Colorado Springs and Boulder. Two are in the Denver metro area: Vertical Academy Workout in Highlands Ranch and Rockstar Pole Fitness in Arvada. “The philosophy behind it is that it’s a workout for everybody, no matter your fitness level, your age, weight or whatever you’ve done in the past,” said Jenna McNamar, owner of Rockstar Pole Fitness, which opened two years ago in Olde Town Arvada. McNamar starting practicing pole fitness 10 years ago and has been teaching it for eight years. “When I first started, people wouldn’t talk about it because people relate it to exotic dancing,” she said. “It still is and we at Rockstar want to have a huge part in that, too, because that’s where it came from. But I think when people realize the strength it takes to do this stuff — it is hard and it is challenging and I think that’s why it grows.” Madeline Haenel, 42, had been looking for a workout routine she could stick with for a while. After attending pole class for the first time two months ago, she found it. “The first experience was so fun and amazing and freeing that the next week, I signed up for two classes and now I have the monthly membership,” Haenel said. But for her, it’s not just about the sore muscles and full body workout.
It’s also about the personal empowerment found at the studio. “For me, taking a pole class has been a really empowering thing,” Haenel said, adding that she is transgender and recently had gender confirmation surgery. “It’s really a whole new perspective on me and my body, and it’s a whole new freedom that I have.” The studio has also been a source of community for Haenel and others. “There’s this whole community of people that are very supportive,” Haenel said. “Ladies that go there of all shapes and body types. You don’t have to be a specific body type to pole dance. It breaks some of the preconceived notions that people might have.” Mixed martial arts a complex workout On the other end of the spectrum, UFC gym in Westminster is giving people motivation to break the cycle of weights and the treadmill. “I like it because it hits your whole body,” said James Camire, who attends classes at the gym and trains twice a week. “The intensity, it’s really hard to get similar intensity doing other things.” Dalton Grinstead, coach and personal trainer at UFC in Westminster, said the mixed martial arts workout helps teach problem-solving skills for the real world. “You can always get a cheap membership somewhere and wait for the macho man to get off the machine and do your curls for the girls, but

you’re kind of turning your brain off there,” Grinstead said. “These workouts, it’s a complex movement pattern and it’s fast-paced. So you understand what jab cross is, but there’s 15 other things associated with it. Where’s my feet? Where’s my head? So you’re constantly A problem-solving both hemispheres of c the brain.” Walking into a UFC gym, which are also located in Highlands Ranch and Parker, is not the scene many people expect, Grinstead said. “It’s kind of surprising because we’re a UFC gym and if you ever watch the UFC, it’s blood and, really, some people say violent fighting,” he said. “But our UFC gym is totally different. There’s only a small handful of guys here that want to compete in fighting. Really, 80 percent of the people here want to lose weight. A large percentage of that also want to learn self defense as well.” People also are surprised that the gym has more female than male members, Grinstead said. “That little bit of extra money you’re spending is so much more valuable because you’re learning a skill,” he said. “It’s something totally different than most gyms can offer.”

Littleton ceremony honors nation’s veterans
World War II memorial in city’s Ketring Park is site for solemn rites BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, a crowd at Littleton’s World War II memorial in Ketring Park fell silent for a moment, in recognition of the nation’s veterans. The city’s annual Veterans Day ceremony, hosted by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and American Legion Post 103, also featured a 21-gun salute with a performance of “Taps” by bugler Jack Grandman, as well as
a medley of the service songs of all five branches of the military by the Littleton United Methodist Choir. “It’s so gratifying to see people so respectful today,” said VFW Post 4666 service officer Stan McClure, who served in the Army in Vietnam. Mayor Bruce Beckman, an Army veteran, spoke, sharing a story about his father-in-law, who served as a radar operator in the Navy in World War II. “I believe veterans must be the most humble and honorable group of people you will ever meet,” he said. American Legion Post 103 Commander Roger Masse asked the crowd to remember that there are approximately 50,000 homeless veterans around the country, as well as about 20 per day who commit suicide.

“Veterans still face long wait times to use many VA services,” he said. The names of veterans who have died in the past year were also read. While veterans at the service spanned the years, there are fewer left from World War II every year.
One of them, sitting in the front row, was Floyd Sebert, who served as a combat engineer in the European Theater from April 1944 until the war’s end. “I was in five different campaigns, from Normandy all the way to Munich,” he said.

The city council has retained Texasbased executive recruiting firm Waters & Company to find candidates, and a deadline of Dec. 5 for applications has been set. The city expects to interview with finalists in mid-January and make an offer by the end of January. The city has also retained Waters & Company to search for a new city attorney. Former City Manager Michael Penny was fired by the council in June, and Public Works Director Mark Relph was appointed as interim manager in July. Former City Attorney Kristin Schledorn stepped down last month.

Legislators pick new leaders for state house, senate BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Colorado’s state Legislature isn’t changing hands between parties — but both the House and Senate have elected new bosses because of term limits. House Democrats chose Rep. Crisanta Duran of Denver to be speaker on Nov. 10, and Senate Republicans chose Sen. Kevin Grantham of Canon City to serve as president. Republicans have a majority in the Senate, and Democrats control the House. The ruling parties needed to choose new leaders because the previous president and speaker are retiring because of term limits. Both of the new leaders have previously served on Colorado’s budget-writing committee, the Joint Budget Committee. That means they have specialized knowledge of how Colorado manages its pocketbook.

Coins collected for canine cancer each November Drive gathers spare change to help fund Flint Animal Cancer Center at CSU BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In 2009, Kelly Kaliszewski lost her dog, Cain, to cancer.
“He was my heart dog,” she said. “It sucked.” Kaliszewski spent the next several years traveling the country with two other dogs, Zoey and Eddie, raising awareness of canine cancer and fundraising for research. She also began an annual social media fundraising campaign called Coins for Canine Cancer. Every November, which is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, she asks people to donate
spare change, which she in turn donates to the Colorado State University Flint Animal Cancer Center on Colorado Gives Day in December. Kaliszewski now owns Zoey’s Place Natural Pet Market on Alamo Street in Littleton, and for this year’s campaign she decided to leverage her relationships with other business owners, asking them to place donation boxes in their stores. “Now that I have my own store, I thought it’d be great to get other merchants involved,” she said. Her goal is to raise $1,000 throughout the month. The following local businesses have collection boxes: • Zoey’s Place Natural Pet Market, 2555 W. Alamo Ave., Littleton
• Rooted Boutique, 2555 W. Alamo Ave., Littleton • Back-in-Line Wellness Center, 2555 W. Alamo Ave., Littleton • Details Boutique, 2359 W. Main St., Littleton • Outlaw Yoga, 2590 W.

South teams dig volleyball success OVERTIME

Bruins, Warriors fall short at state Arapahoe, Cherry Creek compete in 12-team field BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Cherry Creek and Arapahoe didn’t bring home trophies but did play their way into the 12-team Class 5A
state volleyball tournament Nov. 11 and 12 at the Denver Coliseum. The Bruins and the Warriors were two of 12 5A teams in the playoffs. The teams were divided into four pools of three teams each for roundrobin play. The pool winner advanced to the semifinals. Cherry Creek bested Mountain Vista in pool play Nov. 11 3-1. The outcome of that match meant the Bru-

ins, Golden Eagles and Fairview were all tied with 1-1 pool play records in the competition for the spot in the semifinals. The issue was resolved by two teams playing each other and the winner playing the third team for the playoff berth. A coin flip sent the Bruins against Mountain Vista in the one-set match.
What is your favorite subject in school? English. I love writing. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? I always have a bow. I’m not dressed without it. Do you play video games? Mario Kart. Some girls on the team get together and have tournaments. What are your plans for after high school graduation? My dream is to play softball in college.
KEEPING SCORE WITH... is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or some you know would llike to participate.
• Keely Davis, junior, volleyball, Rock Canyon: She had 56 kills and a 41.1 hitting percentage in three matches at the Class 5A state tournament Nov. 11-12. She finished the season with 421 kills. • Dylan McCaffrey, senior, football, Valor Christian: The Eagles’ quarterback completed 12-of-15 passes for 254 yards and four touchdowns in a 40-12 first-round Class 5A playoff win over Cherokee Trail on Nov. 11. He also rushed for a touchdown. • Melissa Evans, senior, volleyball, Highlands Ranch: Evans had 21 kills as the Falcons defeated Coronado 3-2 on Nov. 12 in Class 5A pool play in the state volleyball tournament at the Denver Coliseum. • Sterling Ostdahl, junior, football, Ponderosa: He passed for 219 yards during a 18-for-21 performance and rushed for 121 yards and a TD in a 40-14 first round Class 4A playoff win over Mesa Ridge on Nov. 12. • Trey Windham, senior, football, Cherry Creek: He moved from running back to quarterback this season because of injuries and rushed for both touchdowns in a 14-0 first round Class 5A playoff win over Ralston Valley on Nov. 11. STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list.

T
here was definitely a Continental League and south metro-area flavor in the Denver Coliseum for the Nov. 11 and 12 state volleyball tournament. There were five Jim Benton Continental teams in 5A pool play, and with Cherry Creek and Arapahoe, that meant seven of the 12 teams were from the south metro area. Valor Christian in Class 4A gave the south suburbs another team. “It’s because we get to play good competition,” Chaparral coach Amanda West said when quizzed about the dominance of south metro teams. “Some of the other teams maybe don’t see that competition going into postseason.” Highlands Ranch coach Lou Krauss pointed toward club-team participation, population and money. “It’s kind of a combination,” he said. “You have the population growing, especially in Douglas County, and you have the socio-economics, which allows kids to play in clubs. If you play club, that gives you an advantage over everyone else. In this sport, it takes a long time to develop skills.”
Class system under review The Colorado High School Activities Association’s Classification and League Organization Committee will create a subcommittee to explore the current classification system. One of the considerations will be adding another class to the current system, which presently goes up to Class 5A. Hopefully, this subcommittee will have enough sense to not add any more classifications. There are too many already. Any new recommendations that are passed won’t happen until the 2020-22 cycle. Enrollment has always been the chief reason in dividing schools into classifications. Population of public schools should be a part of classification divisions, especially in football, but not the only criteria. Remember, the Hoosiers were from a small town in the popular 1986 movie that was inspired by the Milan Indians winning the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship. Chances of that happening in Colorado are slim, but those enthralled by enrollment figures should look at Pomona. The Panthers were the 2015 state runner-up in Class 5A football and topranked this season. Pomona also won the state wrestling championship, was the boys state track winner and are the two-time state gymnastics champs. SEE BENTON, P26

BENTON: Cherry Creek players honored FROM PAGE 24
Pomona’s enrollment of 1,503 for the 2016-18 cycle ranked sixth in Jefferson County and 61st in the state. Athletes and feeder programs make a big difference in addition to total enrollment. All-Centennial softball Two individuals from Cherry Creek were named to the Centennial allleague softball teams. Junior infielder Aubrea Leikam was a first-team selection and Allison McKean was tabbed as coach of the year. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

Both teams scored points with linedrive spikes and both teams played excellent defense, diving to the floor to keep the ball in play and getting deflected balls back in bounds. Mountain Vista edged the Bruins 27-25. There were hugs and tears as the Bruins left the court. “I felt this team was good enough to be here at the state tournament and do the best we could when we got down here. Our kids can look back with pride on this tournament because they played their hearts out,” Bruins coach Sally Moos said after the play-in loss to Mountain Vista. “About half our players are seniors, which is about average for us. We had some good players last year so we reloaded like you have to do about every year in high school volleyball. We did well and I feel we had a great season.” The Bruins completed the season
with a 23-6 overall record and they were 5-2 in league play. According to the team’s season statistics, Kate Sherman led the Bruins with 285 kills, while teammate Tate Eppard had 212 kills. Sherman also tallied 326 digs. Daisy Schultz had 48 serving aces and she made 461 assists. Arapahoe went into pool play against Rock Canyon and Legend. The Warriors lost to eventual state runner-up Rock Canyon 3-1 and lost to Legend by the same score. The result of pool play eliminated any opportunity for the Warriors to advance to the state semifinals. “We had a pretty good season and of course this isn’t how we wanted our season to end,” Warriors coach Jordan Wright said after the loss to Legend. “We are a veteran team and we will lose eight seniors to graduation. So we have to look to reload like we did this year because we had eight seniors graduate from that team,
too.” Wright has been Arapahoe’s head coach for three seasons and she has seen this year’s team grow and improve a lot. “This is a great group of young women and we have had some excellent achievements, like some awesome, really big wins this season,” she said. “We will miss our seniors but our sophomores and juniors gained a lot of great volleyball experience and we will use that as a foundation as we begin building our Warrior team next season.” The Warriors finished the season with an overall record of 20-7 and they were 6-1 in league play. According to the team season statistics, Killy Winz led the teams in kills with 394 and she received 480 serves. Abby Anderson led the team in serving aces with 45 and in defensive digs with 356. Jayden Liberty took part in 77 blocks and teammate Amanda Maggiore made 449 assists.

KUMMER: Current economic conditions do not point to nearby recession FROM PAGE 13
well continue, barring extreme cases such as terrorism or total misses of hitting economic growth targets for China. Recently the stock market has been in limbo or perhaps a waiting game, and there has not been much movement in either direction. Recent elections have been very close and therefore caused some angst for about half of the population when their candidate is not elected. Therefore, markets will react to the emotional aspect, if only temporarily. We are also at the tail end of earnings season and anticipating a possible interest rate hike in December. This, along with the uncertainty that comes with a new president, may be unsettling for many investors. In reality, the markets will predict the health of the economy over longer periods of
time once the emotional reactions settle down. Meanwhile, investors wait to hear what will come out of any new policies. There are some positive and negative aspects at first glance. Here is an outlook from Invesco’s chief strategist Robert Waldner Jr., CFA. • Fiscal easing may be a byproduct of Trump’s promise to lower corporate and individual tax rates. This could potentially boost growth in the U.S. and lead to better corporate profits. • Deregulation has been a touted in the campaign. This will likely start with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act along with reduced regulation in the energy sector and in the Dodd-Frank Act. • Trump focused on an anti-trade message and he will have the power to implement tariffs and change trade deals. The total impact here is unknown but could be a positive

for better trade deals and more corporate growth in the U.S., but could also pull down foreign investments. • Stronger growth could push interest rates higher and increase the strength of the U.S. dollar, which could fuel inflation. While we don’t yet know the make-up of Trump’s advisers or the Cabinet, it is safe to say we will be seeing some changes. Hopefully those changes equal economic growth in the long run. We would expect stock values to fluctuate, sometimes significantly, as new policies are implemented. There could also be pressure on bond prices as interest rates rise. It has never been more important to make sure you are positioned with your portfolio for the expected decline in fixed-income instruments along with a long-term outlook for your equity positions. Keep in mind, it is important for investors to stay
focused on their strategy. It could be just as dangerous to miss an opportunity as it is to miss a market correction. In the larger scheme of things, economic prosperity is what investors want, and the economy looks to be on a trend toward expected growth.
