Columbine Mill still vacant despite downtown boom Owner says upgrades are in the works, city says it’s seen no proposals BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s downtown might be in the middle of a boom, but one landmark just off Main Street remains vacant. The Columbine Mill, the historic grain elevator at 5798 S. Rapp St., has stood empty for the last three years. The 81-foot structure, built in 1901 and operated as a flour mill and grain silo until 1974, became a restaurant in 1975 and saw a variety of owners over the years, according to city documents. The mill received designation from the City of Littleton as a historic structure in 1994. Its most recent occupant, Cliffhangers Brewing Company, closed in 2015. The building was bought

in 2017 by Francois Safieddine, the founder of the View House restaurant chain, who is also famous for his championship poker wins. Safieddine paid $559,000 for the building, according to county documents — almost $40,000 less than its previous owner paid for it 11 years earlier. Safieddine, who would only answer questions by email through a spokesperson, said plans are in the works to revamp the building. “Francois has the property available for lease and is currently working with the city to develop a new floor plan,” said Lindsey Huttrer, who represents Safieddine. “Because it is a historic building, the process is more complex and will take a bit more time to finalize... Once the improvements are green lit, Francois is hoping to generate more interest in the property. It would be great to see a brewery go into the location, though it is important to move through the process cautiously in order to create the perfect fit for downtown Littleton.”

The Columbine Mill, built in 1901, has stood empty for three years. Its owner says he’s working with the city to come up with a new floor plan for the historic building, but the city says it hasn’t received any submittals. DAVID GILBERT

Safieddine held a pre-application meeting with city staff in April to discuss putting new windows on the building,

according to documents on the city’s Development Activity List website, but hasn’t scheduled any further meetings.

“Nothing’s been submitted to the city,” said Andrea Mimnaugh, the city’s historical preservation planner, who oversees modifications to historic structures. “We were aware there was a new property owner, and held the pre-app meeting, but nothing materialized. It’s a really important building. It would be great to see it restored and used.” The building is caught in a sort of Catch-22, said Neil Macey, the building’s listing agent. “It needs a total facelift,” Macey said. “Then there’s problems with the pipes and electrical. I’ve shown it 25 times and people love it until they find out how much work there is to be done. But you don’t want to revamp it and not have a financially sound tenant lined up, because the permits and the work are too expensive. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars to make it worth anything.” SEE MILL, P4

MY NAME IS

STAN MCCLURE

Vietnam veteran still serving others Shipping out I was drafted when I was 19 in 1965. They made a cook out of me. I didn’t want to be a cook, but it was my duty and I did it. I ended up with the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Lewis, Washington. They moved a whole division of us to Vietnam. I went over on a merchant marine ship — there were 5,700 of us crammed onto the General John Pope. We were locked below decks for seven days as we skirted a typhoon.

Snakes in the grass When we got to our base camp, it was little more than elephant grass and snakes. We slept in the mud. We had no electricity. We bathed out of our steel helmets, until the monsoons came. Then we just grabbed a bar of soap and stood out in the rain. There were two kinds of cobras there. Malaria rates were high. Being a cook was tough — it was hard physical labor. We had no refrigeration. We had a hard time keeping the rats out of the canned food. The rats were everywhere. Immortality Still, my experience was one of minor discomfort compared to the men in the field. I was blessed. There was random incoming fire at times, but when

you’re 20 you think you’re immortal. When my tour was up, I was not welcomed home. The attitude toward veterans is far better now. They’re treated with more respect, and they get better treatment from the VA, too. Helping others I’m the Veterans Service Officer for my chapter of the VFW, which means I get to help fellow veterans and widows and children with their benefits. I was able to help a lady back in Iowa get a headstone for her husband, who was a Korean War veteran. My PTSD therapy is to help others, so that’s what I do.

Fallen heroes honored alongside Dietz New monument remembers troops who died with Littleton native BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The parents of Navy SEAL Danny Dietz dedicated a new memorial on Nov. 12 to the 19 American servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice alongside their son in Afghanistan in 2005. The stone obelisk, topped by a soaring eagle and engraved with the names of the 19, stands just feet away from a statue of Dietz in Berry Park on Berry Avenue west of Federal Boulevard. “My brother wasn’t alone on the mountain that day,” said Tiffany Bitz, Dietz’s sister. “It’s only fitting that his teammates join him here.” The monument was donated by funeral services company Matthews International, supported by the Dietz family and Veterans Funeral Care, a funeral home focused on veterans. The 19 men died in June 2005 as part of Operation Red Wings, an effort to subdue “anti-coalition militia” fighters in eastern Afghanistan, according to the Marine Corps Gazette. Dietz, a Littleton native, was one of three members of a four-man SEAL team killed by fighters under the command of Ahmad Shah, a local warlord. A rescue helicopter was also shot down by Shah’s fighters, killing 16 men. Shah’s group was defeated in battle in August 2005. “The guys of Operation Red Wings came from all over this country from different backgrounds, for different reasons, to fight for a bigger cause,” said Cindy Dietz, Danny’s mother. “My son would talk with pride about the love he had for his team.” Joining Dietz in the dedication were Congressman Mike Coffman — a Marine — Littleton mayor pro-tem

Jerry Valdes and Jim Rudolph, president of Veterans Funeral Care. Dietz’s father, Danny Sr., attended but did not speak. He wore a baseball cap reading “Lone Survivor,” referencing a book and movie about his son’s final mission. “These men gave the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our freedom and our country,” Coffman said. “It’s the proud tradition of Littleton to honor not only one of its own who fell in that mission, but to honor all 19 who fell that day.” Turning toward the statue of her son, Cindy Dietz spoke

inside,” she said. The building is significant not only as a landmark on the skyline, but as a link to Littleton’s agricultural past, said Jennifer Hankinson, curator of collections for the Littleton Museum. The building was operated for many years as the Columbine Mercantile Company by the Columbine Grange, a

famers’ cooperative, Hankinson said. “It was kind of like Sam’s Club,” Hankinson said. “Farmers could get better pricing on goods there, and they could sell their harvest for a better price.” The mill was one of two in Littleton, Hankinson said. The other, the Rough and Ready Flour Mill, which stood

at the northwest corner of Bowles Avenue and Santa Fe Drive, burned and was rebuilt twice before burning a final time in 1959. “The Columbine Mill is a unique building,” Hankinson said. “There are very few other old structures like it in the Denver area. I look forward to whatever it will become.”

‘We want to be ready when the worst happens’ Firefighters, police hold realistic trainings for mass-shooter scenarios BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Law enforcement, firefighters and paramedics are training side-byside this month, part of an effort to coordinate and streamline emergency response to mass shootings. Hosted by South Metro Fire Rescue and involving a dozen area police departments and sheriff ’s offices, the “Active Threat Response” training sessions pit first responders against a mock massacre in a church basement. “The idea is stress inoculation,” said South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman Eric Hurst. “The more we can expose first responders to a high level of stress, the better they’ll handle it in real life. It’s their responsibility to manage a scene as they’ve been trained.” During a session held Nov. 9 at Brave Church in Cherry Hills Village, EMTs and college students portrayed a half-dozen shooting victims — one of whom was assumed to be the shooter. The actors’ faces were caked with stage makeup to look like bloody bullet wounds. Several “victims” wore “cut suits,” which are flesh-like suits filled with lifelike organs so that paramedics can train on packing and sealing gaping wounds. Others wore backpacks with bladders filled with fake blood, which pooled around their limp bodies. On a cue, actors began moaning and howling, and officers rushed in, guns drawn, clearing the area. Close on their heels followed crews of paramedics, wearing ballistic vests and helmets that made them difficult to

when paramedics waited until law enforcement declared an entire building safe to enter, Hurst said. One instructor cited the death of Coach Dave Sanders, who bled to death in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, as a failure of the old strategy. Training together helps emergency responders identify shortcomings in cross-agency communication, said Jackie Erwin, Littleton Fire Rescue’s emergency manager. “Being able to communicate and understand what each other are doing is crucial,” Erwin said. “This introduces and reinforces terminology that police

City awards grants to local charities Nonprofits improve quality of life in Littleton, mayor says BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The City of Littleton is sharing the love, awarding $81,900 in grants to 16 nonprofit organizations that serve city residents. The awards range from $500 to $20,000, and help the city improve quality of life for residents, said Mayor Debbie Brinkman. “We don’t put a lot of money directly into social services because it’s not a core function of municipal government,” Brinkman said. “So this is a way for us to support organizations that provide valuable

services in the community.” The largest award, $20,000, goes to Integrated Family Community Services, which offers wide-ranging support to families in need, from a food bank to utility assistance, gasoline vouchers and holiday meals. “We’re so fortunate to have Littleton’s support,” said Todd McPherson, IFCS’s spokesman. “This money goes to our enrichment programs, like filling backpacks with school supplies or providing holiday gifts to kids who might not otherwise get any. For those scraping by, this can help level the playing field and feel their dignity restored.” TLC Meals on Wheels will get $8,400, which the group will put toward increased winter demand for their services, said Korri Stainbrook, the group’s spokeswoman. “Our numbers go up around the holidays,” Stainbrook said. “Families come home for Thanksgiving and

Christmas and find out that Mom and Dad aren’t eating so well. Some seniors reach out to us because they don’t want to drive on icy roads.” Getting healthy meals delivered helps seniors stay in their homes longer and keeps health care costs down, Stainbrook said. “Having the city’s support is huge,” Stainbrook said. “We don’t have federal funding. Without city support we couldn’t do as much as we do.” Other grants will support community-building programs, like the Littleton Crabapple Route, which plants crabapple trees around town as a beautification project. They got $1,500. “We’re always tickled to get a grant from the city,” said Larry Borger, the group’s president. “We plant trees, but we also create civic pride. We’ll use this money to buy as many trees as we can. This is a special community, and this money helps us keep it that way.”

WHERE THE MONEY GOES The recipients of Littleton’s 2019 grants, totaling $81,900: • Integrated Family & Community Services, $20,000 • Doctors Care, $15,000 • All Health Network, $10,000 • Meals on Wheels, $8,400 • Gateway Domestic Violence Services, $5,000 • North Littleton Promise, $5,000 • Humane Society of the South Platte Valley, $4,500 • Littleton Public

Catholic Charities’ help ‘changed absolutely everything’ Nonprofit serving impoverished and homeless expands as demand for services grows BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Catholic Charities of Central Colorado — which works with people experiencing poverty, homelessness and crisis — moved to Douglas County in 2013, only to relocate three times in the next five years following increasing demand for services and an expansion of the nonprofit’s programs. The nonprofit first operated from offices at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Castle Rock, but within three years found need for more space. So it moved to a downtown office, but demand continued to grow, and the organization once again found itself looking for a new home. This October, it settled into its latest location at 410 S. Wilcox St., where the organization’s leaders say it can operate more efficiently. “This move allows us to meet the growing need for assistance in Douglas County,” said Catholic Charities CEO Any Barton in a news release. “But what we are even more excited about is the way in which this new space will allow us to continue working on innovative and collaborative solutions that go beyond the traditional `hand-outs’ and really address the root causes of poverty.” Catholic Charities is a founding member of Douglas County Cares, which assists people with affordable housing, homelessness or poverty, and a member of the Winter Shelter Network in Douglas County, which helps shelter women and children over the winter months. Jodi, of Castle Rock, who asked

CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF CENTRAL COLORADO

Catholic Charities of Central Colorado has moved from its last office at 210 Fifth Street to a new location at 410 S. Wilcox Street in Castle Rock. Anyone with questions or seeking more information can contact them at info@ccharitiescc.org or 720-215-4521. her last name not be used to protect her family’s privacy, is among those who have sought help from the organization when she, her husband and their son found themselves homeless in 2016. Catholic Charities helped them transition from living in a tent or their car to renting a hotel room. Additionally, the organization connected Jodi and her husband to other resources for families in need and, most importantly, she said, provided a non-judgemental person to help them. Their case manager helped them form short-term and long-term goals to move the family out of homelessness, and never made them feel like outcasts, she said. Regional Director Paul Narduzzo believes three main factors have driven the nonprofit’s expansions and, consequently, its need for a larger home. The first is the region’s growth, he said. As the overall population has climbed so has the number of people in need of services, such as Jodi and her family, who had moved from Pueblo. Second, the cost of housing has risen, he said, straining or displacing more families. Lastly, the nonprofit began offering more programs that drew additional attention. Original programming included English as a Second Language classes and emergency services, but it now provides long-term case management and counseling needs as well, among other offerings.

Brazilian steakhouse carves new space STAFF REPORT

Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão is set to open its second greater Denver area location. The multi-story restaurant at 8419 Park Meadows Center Drive in Lone Tree will open Nov. 23 with two fully functioning levels, each equippd with its own churrasco grill, Market Table, bar and outdoor patio. Fogo specializes in the Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco, roasting high-quality cuts of meats over an open flame, with a service model known as “espeto corrido” — Portuguese for “continuous service”. With construction nearing comple-

tion in the Vistas at Park Meadows mall, Fogo continues to assemble its staff, including Ron Staffieri, general manager, and Roberto De Moura, head gaucho chef. The restaurant is expected to bring 95 positions to the Denver job market. “Fogo de Chão in LoDo has been part of downtown Denver’s backdrop for almost 10 years,” Staffieri said in a news release. “It is with that history in mind we decided to explore a future in south Denver. It has been a ripe area for development, and we believe our authentic Southern Brazilian culture and cuisine will be a great fit. Our guests can expect to receive the same experience here in Lone Tree that they would at any of our locations in Brazil.”

‘Mental health was not talked about’ Isolation, depression are key issues as seniors go through life changes

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

oward the front of a crowded conference room at Legacy Village senior community in Castle Pines, 82-year-old Marilyn McQueary sat quietly through a presentation on finding purpose in life after retirement. Then the speaker asked the gathered seniors a question: What were their needs? McQueary wanted to share. She knew from personal experience that connection to resources and social interaction can be key to healthy aging. She has lived in Castle Rock with her son and daughter-in-law for about 14 months, moving from Florida after the death of her husband. The transition to her new hometown was difficult. She believed she was on the road to depression had she not pushed herself to make friends, find new activities and become involved in the community. “I became very lonely,” McQueary said, to nods and sympathetic looks from those listening. “I just knew I couldn’t go on the way I was going.” A growing demographic Most seniors feel they are faring well — they are satisfied, or very satisfied, with their lives, local and national studies say. Nearly 95 percent of adults 50 and older reported feeling that way, and nearly 90 percent said they receive adequate amounts of support, according to The State of Mental Health and Aging in America report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2008. But for the small percentage that isn’t OK, finding and asking for help is difficult, and the consequence means increasing isolation and a higher risk for mental illness such as depression and anxiety, say professionals from local aging resource organizations. The reasons, they say, are varied: With advancing age comes more illnesses that may limit physical mobility, curtail independence and lead to isolation. Friends and family members die, leading to loneliness and loss of purpose. Cultural and social norms, particularly among those in their 80s or older who grew up with the Great Depression tough-it-out mentality, make it difficult to ask for help. And many still believe a stigma exists to admitting to a mental illness. But just as mental health is a public health issue for Americans nationwide — one in five adults live with a mental illness — so it is for older adults, who are at an increased risk of depression, the CDC reports. And, the agency’s website points out, their depression is often misdiagnosed or under-treated because symptoms can

Marilyn McQueary has lived in Castle Rock for approximately 14 months. She moved in with her son and daughter-in-law after the passing of her husband, leaving behind her Florida home of three decades. She found the adjustment difficult, but was determined not to let herself become depressed. Joining the Castle Rock Senior Center, she said, “was the best thing I have ever done.” PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS Among popular activities at the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center are card games. The center also offers meals, classes and more programs for seniors to get involved in.

be mistaken “as just a natural reaction to illness or the life changes that may occur as we age.” An estimated 20 percent of people 55 or older experience some type of mental health concern, the CDC says. The most common conditions include anxiety, severe cognitive impairment and mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar disorder. And older men, 85 and older, have the highest suicide rate of any age group, according to the nonprofit Mental Health America. If demographic projections hold true — that by 2030, largely because of aging baby boomers and longer lifespans, seniors will account for 20 percent of the U.S. population, the CDC reports — then the need for and access to mental health resources will become even more crucial for healthy aging, said Linda Efird, director of behavioral and mental health for InnovAge Colorado. InnovAge is a medical company that provides a range of health care services to older adults to help them remain in their homes and live independently. Those resources are already lacking because of a shortage of health care professionals, including those work-

ing in geriatrics, and too few psychiatric beds in general and specifically for geriatric patients, Efird said. “We are already feeling the effects of the older population and the need for mental health intervention,” she said. “I think we have to make an effort — more of an effort — to educate our younger students about the aging process, about what they can expect to see, and make sure that our healthcare professionals, the programs, have a focus on aging, in geriatrics, in what the needs are.” ‘We want to feel connected’ Douglas County data reflects the national aging trend, with estimates that one in four residents will be 60 years or older by 2030, according to the Colorado State Demography Office. The proportion of Douglas County residents who are age 60 or older grew by more than 4 percentage points from 2010 to 2016, according to annual population estimates from the American Community Survey of the U.S. Census. Colleen Morton, wellness coordinator at the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center, works with many of the more than 1,000 seniors who come to the center at 2323 Woodlands Blvd. where

they can share meals, play games and take classes. She sees firsthand how life’s changes can alter people’s mental condition. “Often, they’re states away from where they were living and their emotional support system,” Morton said. “Their friends that they’ve known their entire lives, the community that they grew up in — they’re no longer there.” Karie Erickson, executive director of Neighbor Network, an aging resource center that serves Douglas County residents, identifies isolation as a key issue for residents — which can lead to mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. “When you’re socially isolated,” she said, “that really can lead to a multitude of issues.” Neighbor Network offers numerous services, but one of its most requested is a companionship program, Erickson said, which as the name suggests connects volunteers with seniors to provide them company. They will visit seniors in their homes, on social visits or make phone calls to help prevent isolation. “I’m constantly surprised by how many people will say, ‘I want somebody to come visit me,’ ” Erickson said. “They get that renewed sense of friendship and that makes a huge difference.” Gretchen Lopez is vice-chair of the Seniors’ Council of Douglas County, a volunteer advocacy group for people 60 and older, which hosted the presentation McQueary attended at Legacy Village. “Sometimes,” Lopez said, “as we age, our world gets much smaller.” Early in life people find purpose in their career, or their family, but after retirement, things can change. Children have become adults, spouses may have passed, and it can be difficult to find new activities that provide fulfillment. That’s why the council held the “finding purpose” event, Lopez said, and why she says McQueary’s determination to change her situation is so important. “The very nature of human beings is seldom to be alone,” Lopez said. “We want to feel connected to other people.” Determined to make a change For McQueary, isolation came after leaving her Florida home. “I always knew I would come to Colorado, but I thought it would be from the hospital to the plane to the nursing home,” she said. “I just never expected to live with my children.” She had deep roots in her Florida church, volunteer work she loved and a home she had shared with her husband for more than three decades. McQueary chose to leave at the invitation of her son, she said. They were building a house and had room for her to live in the lower level. Knowing he wanted her there was an immense comfort, but it didn’t make the transition easy. SEE SENIORS, P21

Nationally, average premiums are going up only by low single-digit percentages for 2019. In some states, and for some types of plans, premiums will decline. Fewer areas will see increases. Insurers also are expanding their participation. Health care ranked among voters’ top concerns heading into the midterm elections. A year ago, it wasn’t even clear if former President Barack Obama’s signature program would survive repeated efforts by President Donald Trump and Republicans to repeal it. There have been changes. It might be more difficult finding help in enrolling, after the Trump administration sharply scaled back funding for sign-up counselors known as “navigators.” Even so, independent community groups still guide consumers through the paperwork. And in a change that takes effect Jan. 1, those who decide to opt out of health insurance won’t be penalized come tax time. Consumers have until Dec. 15 to sign up through HealthCare.gov. Mike Hewitt plans to re-enroll. “God bless Obamacare,” said the selfemployed remodeling contractor from Austin, Texas. The first year he signed up under the ACA, Hewitt fell off a roof he was working on, shattering his left heel and tearing an arm muscle. “It allowed me to get good health insurance to fix my body,” said Hewitt, who’s in his 50s. He believes the coverage has been worth the $290 he pays monthly in premiums. “When you have it, it keeps you proactive on taking care of yourself,” said Hewitt. About 10 million people have private policies through HealthCare.gov and state-run insurance markets, with roughly 9 in 10 getting taxpayer-financed help to pay their premiums. An estimated 12 million more are covered through the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, aimed at low-income adults. Income-based tax credits to help pay premiums remain available. The HealthCare.gov website and call center will be up and running. Coverage is available even if you don’t qualify for financial help, but many cannot afford to pay full freight and self-pay customers have left the market in droves. The 2019 sign-up season begins just days before the Nov. 6 midterm elections, when voters were set to determine control of Congress. Democrats have made preserving the ACA’s protections for pre-existing medical conditions a major issue. Trump and Republicans have been hitting hard against Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” plan, saying Democrats are out to destroy Medicare. Republicans

haven’t backed off their vow to repeal “Obamacare.” After repeal failed last year, the Trump administration and GOP-led Congress continued to chip away, making changes that could lead to fewer people enrolling. If younger, healthier people stay out of the market, it will increase taxpayers’ cost of covering those who remain. Among the major changes: • Repeal of the unpopular requirement that Americans get health insurance or risk fines, gone as of Jan. 1. Experts agree that will reduce enrollment, but differ by how much. Some argue that the so-called “individual mandate” was never very effective, since the Obama administration issued numerous exemptions, and the Trump administration added more. “This is not the death blow for the market that was thought,” said Chris Sloan of the consulting firm Avalere Health. • Greater availability of short-term health plans in most states. The Trump administration is allowing such plans to cover up to 364 days, and renewals up to 36 months. Premiums are much lower than for ACA plans, but pre-existing conditions are excluded and plans don’t have to cover basics like prescription drugs. “It’s uncertain how popular these cheaper and more bare-bones plans will be among the healthy people who will qualify for them,” said Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. • Expansion of “association health plans” for small businesses and sole proprietors. These plans, which can be sold across state lines, are broadly similar to employer insurance. But it takes time to set up provider networks, and to gain approval from state regulators. It’s unclear how widely available they’ll be. A new Kaiser Foundation study estimates that if not for the changes by Trump and Congress, premiums would have been substantially lower next year. Standard “silver” plans will cost about 16 percent more than they would have otherwise, the analysis found. But no one is predicting “Obamacare” will collapse, as Trump repeatedly did last year. “It will shrink maybe a little bit, but it doesn’t fall off a cliff,” said Standard & Poor’s analyst Deep Banerjee. About 11.8 million people signed up during last year’s open enrollment, only about 3 percent fewer than the final season under Obama. It was a surprising result, and experts saw it as evidence of the program’s value to consumers. Although federal funding for sign-up season has been slashed, independent groups are trying to get the message out. At Foundation Communities, an Austin nonprofit that serves low-income workers, calls and emails have already been going out to clients with reminders about open enrollment. Kori Hattemer, director of financial programs, said the goal is to help enroll 5,000 people. The center had the same target for this year and exceeded it. “There’s a lot of confusion around whether the Affordable Care Act still exists,” said Hattemer. “We’re making sure people know financial help is available. There’s just lots of mixed messages out there.”

Nothing else should be on the table, but sometimes out of neglect there is. He’s taken my glasses. He’s taken the remote. Now the floss. Maybe it was meant to happen, because while I was looking at the gutted floss dispenser, it gave me an idea. I said to it, “Who are you?” A New Orleans dentist named Levi Spear Parmly came up with the idea for floss in 1819. He recommended running a waxen thread “through the interstices of the teeth.” Floss was not commercially available until 1892. Now the use of floss is an important step in preventing gum disease, but it’s not always taken, and sometimes it is not taken correctly. Please listen to your dental hygienist. I get my teeth cleaned four times

a year because of my dental history. And Harry will have to get his teeth cleaned too. I don’t get numbed, but they will have to knock him out, and it’s a halfday process. He will be dropped off in the morning, and I will pick him up after noon. I could do it myself, but I would rather not. He can wriggle like an eel, and jump and twist, and I would never get the job done properly. I am sure he would think it was a game. To the reader who needed dachshund, thank you.

cream in our coffee, the teacher who pushed us a little harder, the coach who kept our head in the game, the friend who’s shoulder we leaned on, and the person who switched seats with us on an airplane so we could sit with our spouse or child. We don’t have to look so hard for the opportunities to be grateful and show appreciation, they are everywhere, they are all around us. So, if those opportunities to showcase our attitude of gratitude are all around us, why do we miss them? Have we just become accustomed to taking things for granted? Are we too busy? Moving too fast? Are we so focused on what’s on our phone that we miss who is standing right in front of us? If it’s true, and even if we feel like maybe we are one of those people who are too busy, moving too fast, and too preoccupied, the good news is we can change all of it by changing our outlook and behavior when it comes to demonstrating our thankfulness and happiness, our thanks and our giving.

It has been said that gratitude is one of the strongest human emotions. So on this Thanksgiving holiday, who will we bless with the feeling of gratitude? Maybe we can think of one or two, maybe a few more than that, and maybe even many people. But it the end, when we express our love and gratitude, and love and appreciation for those around us, we have to remember that we are gifting ourselves as well through our giving of Thanksgiving to others. Happy and Thankful. Thanks and Giving. Happy Thanksgiving. I would like to personally thank everyone for all of your emails and communications, I appreciate you so much and as always, I would love to hear your Thanksgiving story at gotonorton@ gmail.com. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope you all have a better than good week.

LIFE

Bryan Austin, 60, primps his mustache before a Nov. 9 Christmas party hosted by a local Mothers of Preschoolers group. It takes about 30 minutes for Austin to sculpt his beard and mustache to look like Santa’s. PHOTOS BY NICK PUCKETT

Local St. Nicks talk about their unusual trade BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ryan Austin didn’t have to wait for his beard to turn white to become Santa. The 60-year-old Austin has been performing as Santa for 11 seasons and wore the red suit while his hair was still, actually, red. When he’s not wearing the suit, the Highlands Ranch resident does computer security work for IBM. He was just 49 years old when he began as a mall Santa, developing an entire act to sell his Santa-ness. And he has Santa down to a science. “If I come into your house and I don’t leave you with a strong memory,” Austin said, “I’ve not done my job.” Austin’s coordinated performance includes all sorts of creative acts — from singing to performing an illusional disappearance act with his Elf on a Shelf and thoughtfully scripted commentary for his reading of “The Night Before Christmas.” It helps that he has a perfectly round belly so he can tell kids to poke it if they ask if he’s real. Before a Nov. 9 performance for a Mothers of Preschoolers group in

Mike Cawthra, 64, sits at a bench at Addenbrooke Park in Lakewood dressed as Santa after a Nov. 10 event at the local Goddard School. Cawthra said the best part about the job is all the joy and love your receive and give on a daily basis. Highlands Ranch, Austin laid out the contents of his bag across his bed for a final check to make sure everything was there: His naughty-and-nice list, a small “magical” chest wired with lights and lined with glitter, his favorite version of “The Night Before Christmas,” his Elf on a Shelf, and other trinkets and accessories to complete the Santa look. “Everybody adds their own

personality. You just can’t help it,” Austin said. “But the important qualities aren’t that so much as you being jovial. You have to be jovial the entire time.” In his younger years, Austin was trim and athletic. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in aerospace engineering. He always loved kids and is involved with youth leadership at his church. He even graduated

from high school in North Pole, Alaska. The shoe fit. He will see about 150 clients through November and December and charges between $225 and $300 an hour, depending on how close to Christmas it is. He visits hospitals for free and offers discounted appearances for those in need as well. Becoming Santa Claus is not as simple as donning a red-and-white coat. It’s not destined for any man with a long white beard, blue eyes and a round stomach, and not everyone who can “ho, ho, ho” can do it correctly: Exactly three “hos” — not two or four. No pause. From the stomach. There’s also the hat, the rosy red cheeks, the glasses, the boots (brown or black) and the gloves (black or white). Anyone can look like Santa. Developing the persona is a skill that takes years to master. “You learn that. It’s kind of like a professional actor,” Austin said. “They’ve got to learn their craft and get to a point where they learn what it’s like and how to overcome certain obstacles. “They want to keep that belief going as long as they possibly can.” SEE SANTA, P19

It’s the most ‘Nutcracker’ time of the year Classic production appears at venues around metro area BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” was written in 1816 by E.T.A. Hoffmann as a holiday tale for children, and in 1892, Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote the familiar music we hear each holiday season. He collaborated with Russian choreographers Petipa and Lev Ivanov to create “The Nutcracker” Ballet, which brings in the holiday season worldwide, with its story of Clara and a gift from Godfather Drosselmeyer of a mysterious nutcracker, which becomes her Prince — plus a whole cast of fairy tale characters who inhabit her dreams of a festive Christmas: Sugar Plums, et al. We list a sampling of productions readily available in the Denver metro area (and one in the mountains), hoping many area families will be able to enjoy this lovely tradition. Young dancers grow up with this music and story as part of the season — progressing through roles as they become taller, older and more skilled. Only a few reach the level of Colorado Ballet’s stars, but almost all who dance will carry the music with them

No doubt about this guy! Might he be helped to feel a bit better about his world?? Therein lies a beloved story! Turner’s portrayal of Dickens’ prickly man is especially well done, I think, kept a bit low-key as he gradually learns to let his guard down. Expressive eyes and face will go a long way — without a great many words. Experienced director Bob Wells has orchestrated the whole production to be mostly upbeat, but with soft edges. The choreography by Kelly Kates is especially well thought out, given a large cast (27) and Town Hall’s small stage. With input from Ghost of Christmas Present John Mackey (who is also dance captain), there is suddenly a jolly tap number that delighted the audience and even got old Scrooge moving his feet! Nice touch.

World War I lecture Jeff Lowdermilk, who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, will lecture at 7 p.m. Nov. 27 at the Littleton Museum, 6928 S. Gallup St., Littleton, based on his grandfather’s diary, describing his World War I experiences. George A. Carlson, born in Denver in 1894, wrote about battles, landscapes and small towns he traveled through. Lowdermilk, who inherited that diary, has written a book: “Honoring the Doughboys: Following My Grandfather’s World War I Diary.” Free tickets at Littleton Museum. Seating limited. 303-795-3950.

Who on earth can be cranky about wee Tiny Tim? (Petite Kyriana Kratter is a third-grader who has participated in St. Luke’s UMC theatrical productions.) She plays the little boy with a crippled leg, carried by his devoted father, Bob Cratchit, who is Scrooge’s poor clerk. Cratchit and his family are a fairly constant presence in the background, preparing for a meager Christmas dinner … They can only afford a small chicken as they shop. Small scenes like their shopping excursion are cleverly staged, with the suggestion of a poultry seller popping up and quickly disappearing … Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig’s festive holiday party flashing by, Scrooge’s parents appearing briefly as we see young Scrooge as a child, young adult Scrooge in love and his transition into an unhappy old man, whose business partner, Jacob Marley, has died. Music and dance continues throughout, interspersed eventually with a noisy visit by Marley’s ghost, followed by the Ghosts of Christmas Past … Christmas Present … and Christmas Future. (The best part, according to a 12-year-old guest.) Each ghost brings a message, readers will remember … This story is so much a part of our literary fabric, that one wants to see a different version to consider/enjoy how these particular theatre artists decide to tell it. There are so many ways … This “Broadway” version, with its musical telling, offers a delightful evening, where young and older walk out smiling happily. Choreographer Kelly Kates commented about how pleasant it seems, after “all the ugliness we’ve heard recently.” She’s right on about added reasons to enjoy an evening with Ebenezer Scrooge! And the colorful costumes and wellblended voices carry the story, which ends just as we know it will: “God Bless us, every one!”

Enjoy a Thanksgiving weekend feast of music

A new kind of ‘Christmas Carol’ at Miners Alley So much of the holidays are about traditions, and stagings of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” is one tradition that seems to go back as far as the holiday itself. Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse has added a decidedly un-traditional spin to the proceedings by presenting the theater’s own Josh Hartwell’s adaptation. Directed by Len Matheo, Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave., will host “A Christmas Carol” from Nov. 23 through Dec. 23. Performances are at

TRAINING The Aurora-South Metro SBDC helps existing and new businesses grow and prosper through workshops and consulting.

7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 1 and 6 p.m. on Sundays. Hartwell’s adaptation relies on only six actors to bring Scrooge, Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit to life. The actors use nothing more than simple props, fun physicality and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption. For tickets and information, call 303935-3044 or visit www.minersalley.com. Tennis at Central Presbyterian Church One of the most astounding aspects of a large church or cathedral is its acoustics. Organs, choirs and other religious music sound amazing in these spaces. Even a more secular performance sounds fantastic there as well. One of Denver’s most historic locations, Central Presbyterian Church, 1660 Sherman St., will host two of the best Denver-based performers, Tennis and Esme Patterson, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23. Patterson, a former member of indie band Paper Bird, beautifully blends jazz and folk in her solo albums. Tennis — a band with the husbandwife duo of Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley — has been slowly building up a following since 2010, when it released its debut album, “Cape Dory.” The group had a great 2017 with the release of their fourth album, “Yours, Conditionally,” as well as an EP called “We Can Die Happy.” What makes this show special —

BUSINESS

Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest times of year in the metro area. Families and friends are in town and everyone is looking for something fun to officially kick off the holiday season. There are all COMING kinds of lighting ceremonies, parades ATTRACTIONS and shopping opportunities at malls and markets to get you in the spirit. But if you’re looking for something with a little more arts or local flavor, I rounded up five activities to give you a sense of Clarke Reader how much Denver and the surrounds have to offer this time of year.

Paladin Rescue Alliance: Christian nongovernment organization dedicated to rescuing human trafficking victims and building alliances to combat trafficking locally, nationally and internationally. Need: Volunteers to help organize supplies; donations of supplies. All donations are tax-deductible.

it’s important to celebrate the places that give Denver that extra jolt of energy. To that end, the Hi-Dive, 7 S. Broadway, is hosting a two-night 15th birthday party, at 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, and Saturday, Nov. 24. Each night will feature a surprise special musical guest. Tickets and more information can be found at www.hi-dive.com. Elvis Costello and The Imposters at the Fillmore A lesson learned over the past five years: Appreciate the performers while we have them. We’ve lost too many legends, from Aretha Franklin and David Bowie to Prince and Gregg Allman, to take anyone for granted. For a while, it looked like we might lose Elvis Costello to cancer but, thankfully, one of our sharpest songwriters is still among us and performing. He’ll be stopping by the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 N. Clarkson St., Denver, at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 25. At the beginning of October, Costello and his band, The Imposters, released one of their best albums in ages with “Look Now.” The album is literate and dense, and while he may not be as angry as he was when he first appeared on the scene, he’s lost none of his bite. My favorite Costello songs are almost always the slow ones, and there are some stunners on this one. Don’t miss the chance to see a classic rock icon still doing his thing. Get tickets at www.livenation.com. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com. medical supplies; those with medical/ clinical backgrounds to become Sort Team Leaders; truck drivers to help pick up donations (no CDL required).

SANTA

EXPLORE THE ENTIRE WORLD OF WEDDINGS!

FROM PAGE 14

Training is intense Susen Mesco has been training Santas for 37 years. She’s the president of American Events and Promotions in Denver and is de facto instructor for all things Santa. On the first day of class, Mesco hands her aspiring Santas a piece of paper and asks them to write down the top 15 speed-dial contacts on Santa’s phone. Most come up with the typical Mrs. Claus and maybe the head elf. The first lesson Mesco teaches them is to think outside the box. How about Santa’s dentist? Or the people working in the “distribution department”? It’s an exercise to get the men who look like Santa to start thinking like Santa. “Santa starts to see himself as this alter-ego that pulls him into a 3-D life,” Mesco said. “Pretending is exhausting. Being is not. You don’t put on your costume, you put on your outfit.” To Mesco, a Lafayette resident, details are vital. The authenticity of the Santa depiction is what can leave a child with a lasting memory. And Mesco leaves no stone unturned. She teaches courses in sign language and child development psychology. Santas go to the toy store to learn about the hottest toys available. Santas learn how to speak differently to a 3-year-old than to a 5-year-old, how to interact with autistic children and how to answer the impossible questions like “Santa, are you real?” “Virtually nothing blindsides them because they’ve learned to think like Santa,” Mesco said. “It is the highlight of the child year, spending time with this magical creature. It should matter to you as much as it matters to the child.” With a great beard . . . Mike Cawthra’s favorite color is blue. It’s the color he wears most often in the spring and summer, and it’s the color of his 2009 Ford Mustang with the license plate that reads SLEIGH2. Cawthra, of Lakewood, graduated from Mesco’s Santa school in 2008. A retired elementary school teacher of 31 years, Cawthra’s Santa is one that loves to tell stories. Expressing the personality of the men performing as Santa can make a child’s experience special, Mesco said. Of course, Cawthra’s beard is real. His makeup has touches of glitter in it. Even his fake eyelashes are white. It’s a detail Mesco proudly claims as part of her “spare-no-detail” mentality. Cawthra is Santa during the Christmas season. The rest of the 10 months, he’s just Mike — Mike who wears blue and drives a blue Mustang and happens to have a long white beard and white hair. “God gave me white hair and I use my powers for good,” Cawthra said. “It’s incredibly rewarding, but it’s not who I am 365 days a year. It’s fun, but it’s not all of life.” Though he’s not “Santa” all year, Cawthra still bears the responsibility of being Santa to any child who asks. That’s why he always carries with him special-made coins that say “Santa caught me being good” to reinforce his character, even if he’s wearing blue instead of red.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BE SANTA? Susen Mesco, president of American Events and Promotions, has been educating men to become Santa Claus for 37 years. She said it can cost a lot of money just to put the suit together, not to mention the hours of preparation, education and practice to make sure a one-hour event can keep a child believing. “It used to be you’d go down to Party City and pick up a $27.99 suit,” Mesco said. “Suits now are custom-made.” Here are Mesco’s estimates of how much it can cost to look like Santa: • Suit: Up to $8,000 • Belt: Up to $500 • Boots: $600 • Beard maintenance: $150 • Santa association dues: $100 • Training: $35 • Liability insurance: $2,000 “Every once in a while, in the summer, when somebody says something to ‘Santa,’ you’ve got to be able to come up with an answer,” Cawthra said. “If you do something rude or crude, people will say ‘That’s not very Santa-like.’ ” Retaining the Santa character is often more work than the performance itself. Santas have to stay in shape, lest their legs become too weak for children to sit on (in one recent 2 1/2-hour photo session, Cawthra saw 150 children) or Santa catches the flu from a child (Mesco said most Santas go through five pairs of gloves a day). There’s the Society of Santas and the International Brotherhood of RealBearded Santas — social Santa meet-up groups for Santas to trade notes and join in fellowship. Some men choose to be Santa all the time. One man, Cawthra recalled, changed his legal name to Santa Claus. Once the Christmas season is over, Santa Mike will go back to Mike Cawthra. Some Santas, like Austin, will work well until New Year’s for the Russian Orthodox Christmas — which requires a completely different look. For most it will spell the end of another year of photo shoots, performances and readings of “The Night Before Christmas.” “Dec. 25, it’s a little bit of a letdown, because you’ve been going and going, and you’ve been getting all of this positive energy, and then it’s over,” Cawthra said. “I’m back to being just me. It takes a little while to readjust. It’s very rewarding, and the reward isn’t all money, either. It’s all of the emotions you get from people — and the smiles.”

SENIORS FROM PAGE 9

The move itself exhausted McQueary. She had three garage sales before selling her home. When she began unpacking in Castle Rock, she faced what felt like endless decisionmaking, something she used to share with her husband. As weeks passed, McQueary worried about asking too much time of her son and daughterin-law. She avoided calling friends so she wouldn’t drive up the phone bill. She found a new church but didn’t go as often as she wished. And, although she still drove, she and her son agreed she wouldn’t do so in inclement weather. In June 2017, McQueary traveled to Wisconsin for a family reunion and while there decided to rebuild her life in Castle Rock. “I was determined — ‘When I come back, I’m going to make a change’ — because I really don’t like this,” she said. “I don’t like this isolation.” Looking for help For some seniors, stigma around mental health can be a particular barrier to seeking treatment. “I think there is some obvious hesitation to get help or support, just because we didn’t talk about

these things in previous times like we do now,” said Jason Hopcus, president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness for Arapahoe/Douglas Counties. The reluctance to talk about mental health can be more common among seniors 70, 80 and older, Morton and Lopez said. “Mental health was not talked about,” Morton said of World War II veterans and people born during the Great Depression in the 1930s. “It’s still an uphill battle with the older senior group.” Those eras produced a culture in which mental health and mental illness were highly stigmatized, Efird said, explaining that people faced discrimination, could be seen as “less than perfect” and, in many cases, mental illness was equated with intellectual disability. Institutions treated mental illness inhumanely, she said, and early variations of antipsychotic drugs had serious and sometimes lifelong side effects. For that reason, some older seniors still fear taking medication for mental health conditions, Efird said, and avoid considering that as a treatment plan. But seniors in younger age brackets may help reduce the stigma, Morton said. Many text from their smartphones, still work and are more attuned to current social issues — such as the greater willingness to

speak about mental health than in decades past. That change in attitude, along with the growing senior population, makes the existence of more resources even more important, Morton said. That could mean making seniors aware of what resources are specifically available for mental health. Seniors tend to rely on primary care providers for their health, Hopcus said, and will seek mental health support from them as well. “So,” he said, “it’s limited to whatever resources they give them, which is often an antidepressant.” Efird said primary care providers “don’t often have a lot of experience or education around mental illness,” and that mental health professionals are best-suited to suggest treatment and prescription options because psychiatry is its own specialty. Douglas County has identified potential gaps in mental health services for seniors living in the county through its Mental Health Initiative, a partnership of more than 30 private, public and communitybased organizations formed four years ago to streamline the county’s mental health system. The gaps, Deputy County Manager Barbara Drake said, center on three general areas: geriatric mental health

Janet Robinson said she comes to the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center two to three times a week to play cards. “We have lots of fun,” she said. “We laugh. We’re all friends.” JESSICA GIBBS services, services for people living with dementia and better or more accessible services within Human Services’ Adult Protection program for at-risk adults and the elderly. The county is working with consultants to help develop a health delivery system that better addresses geriatric mental health, Drake said. It is also building new case management practices, or an improved network of care, to better address at-risk and elderly adults. ‘The best thing that I have ever done’ After McQueary’s husband died, she turned to her church and a grief program it offered. “I really didn’t expect him to die,” she said. “I really did not.” After 51 years of marriage,

she made herself a mantra for life without him: Each day, she would get up, get dressed, make her bed — and stay off of ladders. She was determined to maintain a happy lifestyle — she had seen many other people her age suffer once they lost their spouse. She saw that especially among couples who did everything together, from shopping for groceries to church. “You just give up. You don’t want to get out of bed. You don’t want to get dressed. You don’t want to do anything,” she said. “There are so many people out there that just lose it. I couldn’t do that.” McQueary went through her church’s grief course four times, each time in a different stage of grief. Her faith, she said, was largely what helped her through the loss and in adjusting to life in Castle Rock. She found a transforming lifeline in the senior center. It didn’t just give her something to do, she said. It connected her with real people and real friends. “It was the best thing that I have ever done,” she said. At the center, she enjoys a Tuesday and Thursday “Sit and Fit” exercise class, $2.50 lunches, presentations, art classes and simply sitting with friends to talk. “I just absolutely feel it’s opened up my life,” she said. “I’m just thrilled.”

Junior’s low scores are par for course Highlands Ranch’s Tarek Salem is south metro area boys golfer of year BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Junior Tarek Salem of Highlands Ranch is looking forward to the 2019 fall boys golf season. Salem is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Golfer of the Year after completing an excellent 2018 season. He was sixth in the 5A state tournament held on Oct. 2 at the Colorado Springs Country Club. He finished with a 6-over-par total of 148 for 36 holes after rounds of 73 and 75. He tied for second place in the Western regional qualifying tournament with a 1-over-par 73 at Redlands Mesa Golf Club in Grand Junction. Salem was the Player of the Year in the Continental League and was the medalist during league tournaments at Meadow Hills and Lone Tree. “I’m really excited for next year after this year,” said Salem “I really enjoyed the season. It went by quickly, which was too bad. I’m going to be practicing in the off season, getting ready. It’s 10 months away but practice is really what helps. “I try to play every day but before I go play I allocate maybe an hour to chipping, 30 minutes of putting and 15 minutes of hitting balls. It seems like a simple game hitting a small ball into a hole but it’s a hard game.” Simple or hard, golf requires repetition to develop into a top-flight player. SEE SALEM, P23

hanksgiving is a time to talk about turkey and offer thanks for loved ones. It’s a wonderful holiday and chance to forget differences Many people reflect and offer thanks for health, wealth and hapOVERTIME piness, but many times it’s those little things that are taken for granted that we should be thankful for — for F instance, hugs and friends that are like family. m There are myrit Jim Benton ad little things in “ sports to be grateful for and prob- p ably many individuals/actions that t r also deserve thanks. y Here are just a few: • Upsets: Seems like most people i root for underdogs, and to see that team or individual surprise a highly regarded opponent is enjoyable — unless you are a fan of the favorite. • Rallies: Seeing a team come from behind to win is fulfilling. • Last-second victories: Nothing is better than a close, competitive game that comes down to the waning seconds. • Teamwork: I once heard and agree that teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to produce uncommon results, which translates from athletics to life. • Taking concussions seriously: Finally coaches are not asking a player how many fingers he or she sees and then sending them back into the game after saying “he had his bell rung.” • Following directions: Players who listen and do as told will be ahead of the games presented by life. • Decision-making: Making those quick decisions during a game or match or those choices that have to be made with a little reasoning can also be a help later in life. • Self-conﬁdence: Another attribute that is needed to be successful in athletics that will also help in real life. • Learning from mistakes: Admitting a mistake and learning from it so that the same mistake can be avoided in the future.

Tyler Landen gets nod as boys tennis player of year BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tyler Landen grew a lot as a tennis player this season. The 6-foot-3 Arapahoe senior finished third in the Class 5A state tournament at the Gates Tennis Center in the No. 1 singles draw, and coach Peter Weyhrich wasn’t talking about Landen’s height when talking about his development

this season. “As his record shows, he had a fantastic senior season,” said Weyhrich. “More than anything for him, he developed into a tremendous leader on the team. That was a big difference this year. “He could do a little bit of everything. He likes to come to the net a lot in singles. Not all players do that these days.” Landen has been named the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Tennis Player of the Year. SEE LANDEN, P23

Englewood girls ready to launch season Pirates basketball squad is anchored by returning veterans BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even before the official practice for the Englewood High School girls basketball team, Coach Thomas Rode said he expects his team to be strong and competitive. “We only graduated one senior so we have almost everyone back from last year’s team that had a pretty good season,” the coach said on Nov. 5. “Our strength will be our defense and that is where we can impact our opponents. We can play a zone defense or switch to one-on-one if that is what will work best.”

“Since the beginning of last summer I probably played golf or practiced every single day,” related Salem. “That had a drastic impact on my performance this season. I really tried to focus on my short game which was really beneficial because that’s where you save shots. “You can get up to a par 5 in two but if you can’t get up and down. Also

Sticking with gymnastics In hindsight, Amber Boll is probably thankful for her decision to stick with gymnastics. The senior at Lakewood High School was the individual champion in five events at the 5A State Gymnastics Meet held Nov. 1-3. “I mainly started gymnastics because I was really clumsy as a baby,” recalled Boll. “My parents took me in to get me more in touch with my body and all that stuff. I am still clumsy. “When I was little I actually started swimming and I had to choose between gymnastics and swimming and I chose gymnastics.” Boll won the all-around (39.125) title and then came back to capture individual championships on the balance beam (9.600), floor exercise (9.850), uneven bars (9.850) and vault (10.000). Yes, she had a perfect 10 on the vault which was the first 10 at the state meet in 30 years since Broomfield Carol Ulrich won the floor exercise with a 10 in 1988. “I had a lot of time to reflect after it happened and I was getting a lot of attention,” said Boll. “It really

He said on offense the Pirates will push the ball up the court if that style works best against the other team’s defense. “If we have to go to a half-court offense we have a few more players who can hit the outside shot,” he said. “But the bread and butter of our offense will be driving to the hoop.” He said the team’s quickness can help them get the ball back. He said the team will play the style that works best as they try to make it hard for the other team to work the ball into position for a shot. The Pirates were a young team last season. Rode said that despite the fact that his team played hard every time they were on the court, wins were hard to come by. The team finished the season 5-15. “There was no lack of effort but we were a young team, so we worked

to gain experience and improve out skills under fire,” he said. “No one likes to lose. I don’t and my players don’t. But I saw improvement in our play on offense and defense every time we took the court and I feel that will carry over to this season.” The team worked on improvement during the off season and played about 20 games during the summer. “We played in a couple area leagues and hosted a league here at Englewood plus we played in a number of tournaments,” he said. “We were the only Colorado team in one tournament and we saw a lot of different styles of play, including teams that played a racehorse style pushing the ball up the court. “Playing other teams with other styles of play was good experience and our goal is to use what we learned to make us a stronger team this season.”

LANDEN FROM PAGE 22

A four-year qualifier for the state tournament, Landen was 13-3 in the fall high school season, made the AllCentennial League team and won the Region 2 tournament with a victory over Chase Walters of Heritage. He recorded straight set wins in the first round and quarterfinals of the 5A state tournament but lost to eventual state champion Christian Holmes of Chatfield 6-2, 6-3, in the semifinals. He then beat Cameron Weckerly of Grand Junction, 6-3, 6-3 in the playbacks and avenged an early season loss to George Cavo of Cherry Creek to capture third place with a 6-3, 6-3 win. “I think I played pretty well this season,” said Landen. “Since I lost to Cavo in three sets in the regular season, I had a different mindset. I knew what I was going to do and came out and executed pretty well. I knew I could beat him if I put my mind to it, which I did.”

in the fall, I tried to play or practice every single day.” Salem was the leader of a Falcons team that was seventh in the state tournament and shot seven shots better in the second round to finish at 465. The team was third at the regionals. “I played well the whole high school season,” said Salem. “Highlands Ranch as a team, we did pretty well. We were second in the league and had a few tournament wins and I had a couple tournament wins myself. We all played well. It’s not just an individual sport, it’s a team sport.”

made me think about what I actually did and how sensational it was. Whenever I’m doing an event, I think about how I can be the best that I can be. I don’t focus on the score, I just focus on the technique and that really helps. “I was thrilled with the 10. I got one last year at the regionals. I was trying to repeat that and had to stay really focused. On Thursday I got a 9.9 in the all-around (vault) so I knew that I could get a 10.” Boll, whose father was a Marine, is planning to follow his lead into the military. “I’m planning on attending the Air Force Academy,” she said. “Right now I have a verbal commitment to the gymnastics team and I’m planning on going there next year. I’ve always wanted to do gymnastics in college and I always wanted to serve. So I thought about how I could combine those two. “It seems as though the Air Force Academy was the best choice for me. It could push me to be the best that I could be and give me benefits and be great to my community.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

November 19, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance. Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.
