MY NAME IS
NEWS IN A HURRY
CHARLIE NUTTING
Radiologist, family man Saving lives I trained in Chicago, and I am an interventional radiologist. My mom still doesn’t really know what I do, but I perform minimally invasive procedures with X-ray guidance. I specialize in treatment of liver cancer that is not surgically removable. I put a tiny catheter into an artery and I go up into the blood vessels that supply the tumor. We dribble in radioactive beads that kill the tumor from the inside. It is pretty neat. Going the extra distance I became interested in this line of work when I was in Phoenix. I had a gentleman who came to see me who had liver cancer. At the time the only radioactive bead therapy treatment available in the United States was in Maryland. He came to me and asked me to get trained in Maryland and then come back and treat him. There were
Charlie Nutting focuses his medical work on minimally invasive procedures. When he is not working with cancer patients, he is attending his kids’ sports events or music gigs. COURTESY PHOTO lots of hurdles I had to leap over in order to get trained and bring the therapy to my institution, but I did it. We treated him within a month in Phoenix. That really started my love of treating cancer patients. I’ve done about 1,300 radioactive bead procedures now, which is within the top couple people in the country. Moving to Colorado I brought my skills to Colorado about 14 years ago and have been practicing at Sky Ridge Medical Center ever since. I chose Colorado for the quality of life.
I have a great family: my wife, Angie, and my two sons, Chase and Cole. Unfortunately, my wife and one of my sons were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. It zaps them of their energy and gives them aches and pains. They are going to Germany in June to get treated for that. You do anything you can for your family to help their quality of life. My older son is a musician. He has played in some clubs downtown and has a band. My other son is the opposite, where he is a sports kid. It’s amazing they are so different when they grew up the same. Phoenix was nice but transient. Everyone lived in their backyards behind their high fences with their pool. Colorado was much more like where I grew up in Wisconsin, where everybody was outside enjoying each other’s company and playing kick-the-can. One of our more favorite things is to go up to the mountains and go skiing. If you have suggestions for My Name Is… contact Stephanie Mason at smason@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Golden eagles are nesting on Wildcat Mountain this year, shutting down a mile of the trail system. The same eagles have nested in the area since 2011. PHOTO COURTESY OF DENNIS AND LIBBY PRICE
Golden eagles return to nest on Douglas County trail Portion of Wildcat Mountain and East-West trails close to protect nesting site BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Hikers who planned on flocking to Douglas County to hike Wildcat Mountain this spring should probably leave it to the birds: A nest of golden eagles is closing down a one-mile section of the East-West Regional Trail and the Wildcat Mountain Trail. The nesting birds are most likely the same pair that has frequented the trails for the past seven years, said Mark Giebel, Backcountry Wilderness area director for the Highlands Ranch Community Association. “It is rare for them to be nesting near an urban area like this,” Giebel said. Although golden eagles are not listed as a threatened or endangered species, a federal act requires protection of their nesting areas. Enacted in 1940, the Golden and Bald Eagle Protection Act criminally penalizes a person who takes, harms, possesses, sells, purchases, exports or imports any bald or golden eagle alive, dead or in any part. Penalties can be up to a $100,000 fine and one year of imprisonment. Every bird has an area in which it feels its nest is safe, said Justin Olson, district wildlife manager at Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Golden eagles, he said, are especially sensitive, meaning that a one-mile buffer zone is a necessity. “Raptor nests are definitely something that we make a priority when it comes to development — and when it comes to urbanization as a whole,” Olson said. “Some species are more sensitive than others, especially during nesting season. Golden eagles are
DID YOU KNOW? Golden eagles generally live in rural areas with vast, natural landscape. They typically eat small mammals and fish. The birds reach 26 to 40 inches in length and have a wingspan of 5 feet 11 inches to 7 feet 8 inches. Breeding pairs typically stay together for life, returning to the site of the same nest for years. especially sensitive.” Wildcat Mountain, which sits south of McArthur Ranch Road and Monarch Boulevard in the HRCA Backcountry Open Space near Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree, is a historic golden eagle nesting site. So the community association knew a possibility existed, when the trails were being built, that the birds would nest there, even though they usually leave when human populations encroach on their habitat. If the nest, usually holding between one to three eggs, is successful, the trail will be closed through either July or August, until the chicks fly away. Nests are considered successful when a young eagle reaches maturity and can leave. A detour around the nesting area, running parallel to the trail, is available for hikers seeking to continue their trek. The trail closure starts near Rocky Heights Middle School, 11033 Monarch Blvd. in Lone Tree, and extends south a mile. But the nest has failed the past few years because of natural occurrences such as bad weather and nest disturbances, Giebel said. There has been no evidence of human tampering. The trail closure is important to helping preserve the birds and allowing the young eagles the best chance to reach maturity, Colorado Park and Wildlife officials said. “From our perspective, it is a way to balance out our impact on wildlife in the state and in the region,” said Ben Plankis, the North East Region Trails coordinator for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

High schools face budget challenges, choices Leaders at schools determine how to spend money from shrinking budgets BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Students at Highlands Ranch High School can expect fewer field trips next year and less school supplies to go around. At Castle View High School in Castle Rock, students will no longer take as many classes as they want because there will be fewer teachers to teach them. The two schools are among many in the Douglas County School District that are trying to figure out how to do the same with less. “We all have had some impact,” said Castle View Principal Rex Corr, who met recently with parents to discuss the changes and make plans for the fall. “We operate on the fiscal realities that the state and the district pass down to us every year.” Those fiscal realities this year include flat state funding, lower enrollments at the elementary school level and changes to how district budgets are calculated. And that means schools are thinking more strategically about planning for the 2017-18 school year. “The reality for all of our schools is that we are tighter in Douglas County right now,” said Cory Wise, director of high schools. Highlands Ranch High School For Highlands Ranch High School, tightening the belt means less money for department budgets and extras like field trips. “What we chose here at Highlands Ranch High School was people over programs,” Principal Chris Page said. “That meant instead of putting $5,000 into 15 different departments, we combined all of that money and ensured that we have enough to take care of the people aspect.”

That means the school will be able to retain all of its current staff and won’t have to make any changes to curriculum or offerings to students, Page said. However, when parents saw zero dollars in the budget for new expenditures at a recent School Accountability Meeting, many voiced concern, he said. “The zero may freak some people out, but the truth of the matter is that we’re strategically planning,” Page said. “It may mean there isn’t as much paper to go around for copies, but it doesn’t mean that we’re not going to be able to function. We’re not shutting doors or anything like that.” Castle View High School At Castle View High School, Corr said the school has had to make adjustments because it can no longer count on one-time-use highly impacted money. Each year, schools can apply to the district for “highly impacted” dollars to supplement site-based budgets. These funds are budgeted annually and awarded as one-time money to support schools that can demonstrate significant needs or special circumstances to warrant supplemental funding — $200,000 is available to be spread across the district. Castle View has received funding from this source over the past several years. The school’s model is unique in the district. Students choose tracks in one of four academies—Leadership, Global Studies and Communication; Science, Technology, Math and Engineering; Visual and Performing Arts; and Biotechnology and Health Sciences— and have more freedom when choosing elective classes. They have traditionally been able to complete eight courses a year, more than any other high school in the district, because of its unique 4x4 block schedule, which allows students to complete four classes per semester because they attend those classes every day for extended periods. But students will now have caps of

eight classes freshman year, seven classes sophomore and junior years and six classes as seniors. Douglas County high school students need a minimum of 24 credits to graduate. “We decided that it was not sustainable moving forward,” Corr said of the school’s unique programming. “Castle View had the luxury of that money being available each year in the past, but we can’t count on it every year.”
Because elementary teachers cost the district less, those schools would be able to hire more people with the same amount of money, district officials said. Middle school and high school teachers, however, are more expensive to hire. Each school in the district sets its own budget based on the funds that are available each year.
Revenue, distribution and projections State funding through per-pupil revenue is expected to stay flat or increase only slightly for the 2017-18 school year. The per-pupil funding for the 2016-17 school year is $7,163. For 2016-17, DCSD’s enrollment is 67,470, up from 66,896 in 2015-16, according to the Colorado Department of Education. However, district officials say some elementary schools are experiencing declining enrollments, which subsequently means less money. The district has projected the following schools will be under-utilized in the 2017-18 school year: Pine Lane Elementary, Mountain View Primary and Ponderosa High School in Parker; Arrowwood Elementary in Highlands Ranch; Larkspur Elementary; and Mesa Middle School in Castle Rock. Other schools projected to be underutilized by the 2021-22 school year are: Northeast Intermediate and Sierra Middle School in Parker, Trailblazer Elementary in Highlands Ranchand Castle Rock Middle School. In addition, a change made by the school district in how money is distributed among its schools will see more money available for elementary schools, but less for middle and high schools. In the past, all schools paid the same average amount for a teacher, calculated using his or her salary, plus benefits and retirement contributions. Now, rather than using the districtwide average, that amount will be differentiated among the elementary, middle schools and high schools.
What lies ahead? The district continues to look for more money for school programs and increases in teacher pay, DCSD spokesman Randy Barber said. “We’re waiting to see what the state budget is in a few weeks and hoping we can meet more needs at the school level,” Barber said. However, concerns about money are unlikely to dissipate. “We have buildings that need help in terms of capital investment,” Barber said. “We have programs we want to make sure stay strong for students. And, we know that there’s growth on the horizon, and we want to make sure we’re prepared for that.” The Douglas County community rejected a $200 million bond issue in 2011 that would have gone toward building three new schools in Castle Rock and Parker and a $29 million mill levy override that would have provided funding for instructional expenses and pay-for-performance for teachers. In 2008, voters defeated a $395 million bond issue and a $17 million mill levy override to support building new schools, improving student achievement, recruiting and retaining the workforce and improving the district’s technological advances in the face of expanded enrollment. District officials and school board members have broached the subject of a new tax request in recent months with the timeline gravitating toward a 2018 ballot measure. Said Wise: “We need to engage our Douglas County community with the financial challenges of the school district and the value of a quality school district.”

From photographs to sculptures to jewelry, handmade pieces of student artwork filled the Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch for the annual Douglas County Art Show March 31 through April 3. Students from every school in the district were invited to submit work to be showcased. Their work lined the walls and filled the tables of the hotel. Works included charcoal drawings by high school students and crayon and water color portraits by elementary school students. “It’s great stuff and we have artists from kindergartners to seniors,” said DCSD Director of Activities Derek Chaney, who helped lead and organize the event. “There are some talented artists in our district.” The art show was held at the Hilton for the first time this year, moving from the Lone Tree Arts Center.

Group meets monthly at Arapahoe Community College BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Parker Pals started meeting nearly 20 years ago to offer people with multiple sclerosis a chance to share their experiences and give each other support. Just don’t call them a “support group.” “A support group is led by a professional who gets paid,” says Kathie Spies, Parker Pals’ leader. “A self-help group is led by a volunteer, someone with MS.” The self-help group meets monthly at Arapahoe Community College in Parker to socialize, organize involvement in fundraisers like the annual MS Walk and provide informational workshops with medical providers. Members share their expertise on symptom management, relationship and work-related issues, and other topics unique to their experience. One thing they don’t do is whine. SEE PALS, P10

“We don’t spend our time feeling sorry for ourselves,” says member and Parker resident Judy McCarthy, diagnosed with MS in 2002. “We don’t put Kleenex out on the table so people can cry,” Spies adds. There were four or five regular members when Spies joined in 2001. Since she took the helm soon after, the group has expanded to about 45 members from Parker, Castle Rock, Centennial and Aurora, ranging in age from mid20s to 85. One of the benefits of the members’ diverse ages and backgrounds, Spies says, is the wisdom older members share with their younger counterparts. People newly diagnosed with MS are understandably scared, and meeting others who’ve gone through the same experience offers comfort and reassurance. “There’s just a wealth of information available to a new person,” she says. “For a young mom with kids at home, they see an 85-year-old who’s playing bridge and still being active and they think `I can do it.’” McCarthy and Spies stress that the group’s spirit is being proactive and, just as importantly, active. They and other members stay fit with cycling, yoga, Tai Chi and regular exercise. Parker Pals co-leader and Centennial resident Cary Polevoy was diagnosed with MS in 1995, but that doesn’t stop him from riding in the annual Bike MS fundraiser, a two-day 150-mile bicycle
Multiple sclerosis is a disease affecting the central nervous system, but symptoms vary from person to person, making it difficult to diagnose. Most people affected by the disease are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50 years old, including 11,000 people in Colorado and Wyoming alone. One in 500 Coloradans has MS, and 73 percent of those diagnosed are women. Symptoms include: • Problems with balance and walking • Fatigue • Visual impairment • Vertigo and dizziness • Tremors • Cognitive and sensory issues For more information on MS or assistance offered by the National MS Society, go to cureMSco-wy.org or call 800-344-4867.

He agrees that connecting to others with MS is vitally important for people with MS, but says new members often need a nudge to get them there. “Someone who’s newly diagnosed or has chosen to suffer in silence, they really need encouragement from family members to join,” he says. “There’s a misconception that they’re pity parties. Our group is far from that.” To anyone unsure about attending that first meeting, Spies offers a few words of encouragement. “You’re not alone, we’re here to help you,” Spies says. “It’s a long MS journey, and you can get through it.”

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”
Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Denver - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain? Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake. Sounds crazy? Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life. When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again. Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state? Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in
theory exercising should help knee arthritis. But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs. Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes. Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out. You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either. What’s the answer? In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary. With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated. The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis. But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint. This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many ex-
help.
Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.
perts believe it helps lubricate the joint. Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain. And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain specific exercises can be a tremendous
That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain. This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results. So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse. And that’s the last thing you want to do. What are the two “smart moves?” If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic. If you are thinking about giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technol-
ogy such as uoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections. Research shows that without uoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work. If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced uoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 303-952-4469.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver
After thousands already helped knee pain sufferers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go. If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now. Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief. Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program. The Secret To Success? The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy. Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating. This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment. And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed. What Is This Treatment? This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this... When you have knee arthritis the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in
your knee joint dries up. This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief

program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors. How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and
Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging

the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 303952-4469 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions answered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours. If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not
take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain? So call 303-952-4469 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Schools should be top priority Earlier this year, principals at middle and high schools in the Douglas County School District were blindsided by sudden budget cuts which will directly impact students this fall. Despite outcry from the community resulting in a slight reinvestment, many schools are still facing the inability to maintain basic levels of educational support. Multiple schools have announced staff cuts, class size increases and curriculum losses. Shockingly, upper administrators were granted salary raises
and retention bonuses one day prior to these budget cuts being handed down. Furthermore, DCSD administrative departments are budgeted for $18.5 million more than they spent two years ago, not including special education. With nearly all DCSD students attending a neighborhood secondary school at some point during their education, we need to do better by our kids in this school district by funding schools first and foremost, making them a priority over upper administration.

What’s on the horizon for Colorado’s seniors?
first heard Jim Riesberg, a representative of the Strategic Action Planning Group on Aging, speak at a Denver Senior Coalition meeting and I was blown away LIVING & by the information he AGING WELL shared. I was also inspired to learn more. How had I never heard of this, I asked myself. He told us how the group got started in 2015, its members appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper after a legislative bill (House Bill Katy Carpenter 15-1033) was passed to study the positive and negative impacts of Colorado’s aging demographics. He went on to share many different statistics regarding the aging population in Colorado, as well as the true purpose of the group. When SAPGA first formed, their initial considerations were to determine what it means to age well, to measure how well challenges were being met in the various Colorado communities and trying to determine future adjustments based on ever changing needs. The group also realized that there is a larger purpose, to reframe how we all view aging. Instead of thinking that growing older is a negative thing for any of us, SAPGA is looking to promote moving forward with a positive light. “Aging is a gift,” says Jim, “A continual process of growth and learning, and nobody
should be defined by their age.” SAPGA also wants to find ways to help people change their habits, to maintain good health and modify behavior, therefore saving the future by creating fulfilling lifestyles — living better as we all live longer. They found many outstanding resources available throughout the regions, but they also realized there is a disconnect in collaboration and coordination between the services themselves and the people they are trying to serve. What that says to them is this: Colorado leaders must act now to ensure that Colorado continues to be a great place to live, a place that meets the needs of all its residents no matter their age, a place that allows each of us to thrive and a place that is fully connected. I got the chance to speak with Jim on the phone and ask him some questions. He has been working in the senior field since 1992. Jim is extremely passionate about SAPGA and promoting the bill itself. He shared with me that HB 15-1033 came about due to different groups such as AARP, Denver Regional Council of Government and the Colorado Department of Human Services discussing issues pertinent to people over 55. State Sen. Ray Scott was integral in getting the bill passed, which in turn allowed SAPGA’s formation. He explained that they are currently in the process of getting the word out about the group on radio stations, meeting with state representatives and hiring an administrator to lead the process.

to share and which they don’t. Just as you wouldn’t give a stranger your home address and financial information willingly, your ISP should not be able to obtain that same information without even asking. This issue has the potential to go even beyond privacy rights, but also to include national security concerns since we will no longer control where our data ends up — or worse, who is buying or reviewing it. I understand the ISPs point that some of their competitors currently have obtained an advantage because they can obtain and use this data but I think the correct solution is not to empower the ISPs to gather and use this data but to impose the same privacy concerns and requirements upon these other internet based enterprises. I believe the privacy of my constituents, and of other internet users, is an issue where the government needs to tread very carefully. I do not believe we should permit private corporations to take advantage of our information for their use and profit without your knowledge and consent. The right to privacy is embedded in the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and as a person who honors our founding principles, my vote on this resolution represents my reaffirmation in our Constitutional protections.

This FCC rule mandated that internet service providers obtain consent from their customers before collecting certain categories of information. Under the current rule personal information such as your web browsing history, geographic location, children’s information, social security numbers along with financial information and app usage history — all which fall under the “sensitive data” bracket — can be collected by your internet provider without your permission. A second category of information, called “lesssensitive data,” such as your name, address, IP address and anything else a consumer has not opted in to sharing with their ISP’s will now be subject to collection, since consumers won’t have an option to opt out of this information sharing. This is a controversial subject for many reasons and for years the debate has gone on as to what ISP’s can and cannot do with this information. The ISP have argued that they should have the flexibility to collect this data because some of their competitors such as Google and Facebook, which are not ISPs, can collect this data and use it and sell it now. It is my view that your internet activities are private. We live in a world that is ever more interconnected and I think that users should have the power to decide which information they want

Protecting rural hospitals must be a priority
N
GUEST COLUMN
Polly Lawrence
ow that congress has an opportunity to repeal and replace the antithetically named Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), it is critically important that lawmakers understand what provisions from that failed law need immediate attention. For Coloradans, especially in rural parts of the state, protecting rural and community hospitals that are struggling to carry Medicare patients is a top concern. The issue has to do with how Obamacare reduced federal reimbursements to hospitals that treat Medicare patients, reductions that are threatening medical care to millions of seniors and disabled Coloradans. Among Obamacare’s biggest problems was the cost. To pay for it, Obamacare enacted numerous tax increases. But since you can only tax people so much, the balance had to come
from somewhere else — that somewhere else came in the form of reducing Medicare payments to hospitals. In fact, hospital payment cuts were the single largest funding source for Obamacare’s costly expansions. These cuts came at a cost, with several smaller community and rural hospitals around the nation having to either close their doors or drastically reduce services. Now, with Obamacare on the chopping block, these cuts need to be repealed as well. Restoration of this funding is critical to helping rural hospitals continue to care for uninsured, low-income, disabled and elderly citizens. As it stands, current Medicare payments cover less than 90 percent of the cost of care. This is unsustainable, especially for rural hospitals which do not have the resources or patient caseload to make up that difference.
The bottom line is that if the federal government does not restore the Medicare reimbursement payments, rural hospitals will be faced with either cutting back critical servicesr i or closing their doors. The impact that this would have on these communities cannot be s overstated. Rural hospitals are often the sole provider a of many crucial medical services, including u emergency care for entire rural regions. Hav- t ing to transport patients to urban facilities risks lives, increases costs and takes emergency medical technicians miles out of their a a jurisdictions. y Moreover, hospitals serve as an economic hub for many rural communities, providing fi a jobs and contributing to the local economy. c SEE LAWRENCE, P15

Shutting the doors of these facilities is not any different than a local mine, factory or some other vital local industry closing down. Without a swift repeal of these Medicare cuts, Colorado hospitals stand to lose more than $3.2 billion over the next year. These are dollars that will be siphoned mostly from rural hospitals. I was proud to stand in the Legislature and speak in favor of a resolution recognizing the importance of Colorado’s rural hospitals. Congress should follow our lead and work to protect rural hospitals by repealing the failed, expensive mess that is Obamacare — and simultaneously repealing the Medicare payment cuts that its crafters had hoped would pay for it.

Find the answers to life’s stress tests Stress is normal. It’s how you handle it that’s important.
Cori Barker, sitting, practices Thai massage on one of his instructors about two years ago when he was attending the Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy. Barker, 32, worked for an engineering firm for four years after graduating from the Colorado School of Mines, but realized he wasn’t leading a healthy lifestyle — this prompted him to become a massage therapist, and he opened Reworks Massage (and Tech) on 16th Street Mall last fall.
BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A
fter Cori Barker earned his degree from the Colorado School of Mines, he landed a job with an engineering firm. He enjoyed the job, but the work was stressful, often finding it difficult to meet a client’s expectations. And his off time was filled with monotonous routine — a PB&J sandwich for a quick dinner, and some TV or video games to unwind a bit before bed. Barker lived this way for four years — poor diet, lack of sleep and little exercise. Admittedly, he did not allow time for self-care. “I didn’t have the maturity to value my personal health,” Barker, 32, said. “But I couldn’t imagine a different lifestyle.” The one thing he did do for himself, both as a student and engineering professional, was get a massage about once a year to help relax. And this is what led him to the path he is on today — a massage therapist living a content and mindful lifestyle. Having some degree of stress is normal — and not all stress is bad, health experts agree. But too much stress can lead to common illnesses because of a compromised immune system or more serious diagnoses of anxiety or depression. “Stressors can really knock us out of our normal routine,” said Tripti Sharma, a therapist who teaches a mental health first aid class at Community Reach Center, a nonprofit that provides mental health care and other health services at multiple sites throughout Adams County. “How you handle it is what’s important.” Shannon Gwash, director of wellness programs and services for Jefferson Center for Mental Health, says the term “eustress” refers to what mental health experts consider positive, healthy stress. It can be thought of as a motivator because that kind of stress keeps people working toward a goal or pushes a person to excel. Distress — the stress associated with being stressed out — is when life starts to become too overwhelming, Gwash said. There is no definitive threshold between the two, Gwash said, because people have different triggers that can cause distress. However, to distinguish between the two, Gwash suggests asking this question: Are you progressing toward that goal, or are you falling behind because you’re taking on too much? “It’s hard to take a step back,” Gwash said, “but it’s necessary.” In addition, stress can be situational

or chronic, Sharma said. Situational can include a death in the family to a big test coming up. Chronic stress is generally ongoing and long-term. For example, it could be environmental, such as living in an abusive home. For most people, the best way to handle stress, Gwash said, is to recognize and acknowledge when you’re taking on too much. “Everyone gets stressed out, but it’s not always because of the same things,” she said. “Be aware of what works for you. Sometimes, too busy is not good. It’s good for us to have downtime, and it’s good for us to have those healthy boundaries.”
MORE TIPS TO MANAGE STRESS Here are a few more tips to manage stress: • Stay connected to your social network. Allot time to spend with friends and loved ones. • Ask for help when life becomes overwhelming. Seek advice from clinicians or others you trust. • Maintain a positive outlook. Don’t get caught up by the negative effects of something that didn’t go exactly as planned. • Help another person manage his stress. • Make time to enjoy favorite leisure activi-
ties. Join a class or program offered through community resources, such as the library or rec center. • Go outside — being outside allows a person to take in nature’s smells and calming sounds. • Break things down into smaller, more manageable steps.

Denver Zoo welcomes a rare bird STAFF REPORT
Denver Zoo, coordinating with zoos across the country, has successfully bred a rare species of bird, the kea. Denver zookeepers are hand-raising the hatchling, Scarlet, at the zoo’s avian propagation center and she is expected to make a public debut soon. The kea (pronounced KEE-yah) can be found in the mountains of New Zealand and are one of the few alpine species of parrot in the world. In North America, 38 keas live in 11 zoos, and
the breeding of the birds is coordinated through a species survival plan. Scarlet’s mother came from a zoo in Seattle and her father came from a zoo in Philadelphia. Scarlet is the first-ever successful hatching of the species for Denver Zoo, and zookeepers intend to place her back with her parents when she is older, according to a news release. The species is thought to be in decline, the release stated, with an estimated world population between 3,000 and 5,000.

Ballet company joins with band to examine nation’s divisions Wonderbound, Flobots stage shows in three area venues BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Divisions,” is a new production by Wonderbound contemporary ballet company and nationally known hip-hop band the Flobots — both involved in community activism through the arts.
It will play in three metro Denver venues between April 14 and 30. Choreographer Garrett Ammons and his wife, Dawn Fay, began with the company in Denver in 2007, then called Ballet Nouveau, now called Wonderbound. They have made a practice of collaborating with other artists. “With our country more divided than ever, it’s important to come together through art,” Wonderbound says. “This production is inspired by how art has impacted great revolutions in history and costuming will
be based on clothing worn by revolutionaries through time.” Ammons, known for his ability to work with other artistic groups, including Paper Bird, poet Michael J. Henry, illusionist Professor Phelyx, DeVotchka’s Tom Haggerty and musician Ian Cooke, has teamed this year with Flobots lead singer Jamie “Jonny 5” Laurie and the band, as they were also completing a new album following several years of effort. “Our job is all the more important as social conflict increases,” said Ammons. The new Flobots album, “NOENEMIES,” is due on May 5 and the dance portion of the production was created from the new music. The album includes the voices of a gospel choir and intends to give listeners a sense of hope. “We hope ‘Divisions’ is a thoughtful and compelling look into the soul of a nation stirring with unresolved questions — What are we mobilizing for? Who are we mobilizing against? Why are we scared of each other? As more and more people take to the streets, these questions are more vital now than ever,” Laurie said. The socially active band started Youth on Record, which, with help from working musicians, trains

Bigfoot fans come to Colorado to make their case Event raises money for youth mission trip, discusses Sasquatch BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It may have been April Fools day but Bigfoot researchers who recently visited Castle Rock to display their evidence supporting the legendary creature’s existence weren’t kidding. Bigfoot isn’t just real, they said. He’s out there — and in numbers. About 80 people gathered at the First United Methodist Church in Castle Rock to hear the group’s case on April 1. At the front of the sanctuary were two tables. One held mostly books about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, or however he may be known. The other offered more tangible proof. Castings of purported Sasquatch footprints and knuckle impressions captivated audience members before presentations began. When researchers took the stage, they walked the crowd through personal experiences and accounts of people they say come to them for help. For one church member, Jason Frank, also a member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, the
journey began 10 years ago. Frank discovered a set of large, peculiar footprints while turkey hunting near Cripple Creek. “I didn’t know what to do with it,” he told the crowd April 1. So he called a man from academia who he’d seen on TV. Evidence of Sasquatch Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, connected Frank with a Colorado researcher. Frank has since changed from a man hunting turkeys to a man hunting for clues about the elusive Bigfoot. Frank and his fellow researchers take frequent and extended camping trips searching for Sasquatch, often in the Steamboat Springs area and throughout southern Colorado. For Mark Taylor, also a Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization member, the work has largely consisted of helping a Pueblo family explain strange behavior in and around their ranch. The activity has gone on for years, he told audience members. One ranch owner, who grew up on the ranch, told researchers she saw a Sasquatch on their land as a young girl. Today, her grandchildren say they sometimes see a large creature peering through the home’s windows at night. Among other sightings, the family
also finds large footprints along the river near their home. Footprints are the key for Meldrum, whose research focuses on the evolution of bipedalism in early hominids and humans. More simply put, he studies how people evolved into two-legged walking creatures. “When it comes to footprints, I’m an anatomist,” he said. He looks for where toes are jointed and the show of movement throughout a step in footprints. There’s a difference between tracks left by a living foot and a stiff wood foot, he said. A faculty member at Idaho State since 1993, he fell into Sasquatch hunting in 1996 after discovering footprints in Washington measuring about 15 inches in length. There were skin ridge patterns in the mud. Pressure ridges, tension cracks and dragging were all consistent with live tracks, he said. “These clearly weren’t made by somebody strapping on a pair of fake feet and stomping through the mud,” he said. “I am convinced —I do think that these creatures exist.” He estimated the animal may have been 7 feet tall and weighing near 400 pounds. Today, he’s amassed approximately 300 castings of Sasquatch footprints from across the globe in his lab. SEE SASQUATCH, P29

‘People are going to get wet and dirty’ Horse rescue hosts fundraiser at Colorado Horse Park

Fundraising fun runs are nothing new, as participants in events like Muckfest and “Tough Mudder” competitions can attest. Obstacle courses are designed to test runners’ endurance and athleticism, usually involving a lot of dirt and sweat. On April 22, the Colorado Horse Park will add a twist, challenging humans to take on obstacles, water jumps and terrain designed for horses. “The idea is to get people of all ages out there to see the athleticism of horses, who have to traverse these obstacles, sometimes with a 150-pound person on their back,” said Andrea Mena, a volunteer with horse rescue Drifter’s Hearts of Hope. The nonprofit horse rescue in Franktown is sponsoring its first “Run to the Rescue” at the equine park, featuring Denver Broncos cheerleaders, door prizes, yoga classes, vendors and a 5K all-ages run on the park’s equestrian racecourse. The ranch began almost three years ago, when Parker resident Jean Kirshner brought her daughter to an Elbert County ranch to get to know Drifter, a horse rescued from a holding pen in Fort Collins by her friend Jacqui Avis. Drifter’s next stop would have been a slaughterhouse in Mexico. Kirshner’s daughter Bella, who has cerebral palsy, began grooming and riding Drifter, mucking his stall and taking him to the veterinarian. She helped bring the horse back to health, and working with Drifter brought out a different side of her. “This was the first time I saw Bella with a purpose,” Kirshner said. Bella and her friends began baking horse treats and selling them to raise money for horse charities. Sitting in at one of the baking par-

The nonprofit horse rescue will host a 5K fun run at the Colorado Horse Park at 8 a.m. on April 22 to raise funds and compete for a $25,000 grant from the ASPCA. PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY ties, Avis got the idea for her and the Kirshners to rescue horses on their own. Three years later, Drifter’s Hearts of Hope has expanded to the King of Hearts Ranch in Franktown, buying horses, most on their way to slaughter, and rehabilitating them for adoption. About 20 volunteers give their time at the ranch each week, watering, exercising and cleaning up after about 40 horses on any given day. Avis estimates they adopted 80 horses last year — and it wasn’t cheap. “It’s expensive to run this place,” Avis said. “Between feeding and vets and training, it adds up.” Mena came up with the idea for the event as a way to compete for a $25,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Each year, the organization recognizes groups that generate community involvement for its annual “Help a Horse Day.” Avis said she hopes turnout is good enough for the ASPCA to take notice — $25,000 buys a lot of hay. So far, Mena said response from the
community has been positive and she’s expecting a good turnout from
the “horse hub” in the Parker area. “The equine community in Parker is massive,” she said. “It’s such a worthwhile cause, that’s why I think people are responding.” Avis and Mena are expecting between 150 to 200 people, most of whom will hopefully bring a change of clothes. “People are going to get wet and dirty,” Avis said.

SASQUATCH FROM PAGE 26
Satiating curiosity Sasquatch researchers still debate whether Bigfoot is more apelike or human-like, he said. Their descent is also unknown. Perhaps they are relics of the early hominids, perhaps not. These are merely some of the answers researchers like Frank and Taylor hope to answer. Proceeds from the event at First United Methodist Church will benefit a youth mission trip hosted by the church, but the “Squatch
Talk” drew more than the philanthropic. Fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts came in support, as well as those who said they couldn’t contain their curiosity. Julie Curran said she believes it’s possible the myths are true, and is a fan of the show “Finding Bigfoot” aired on Animal Planet, on which Meldrum has appeared. “I’m fascinated with the subject,” she said. Her friend Randy Howell, however, remains a skeptic. “I’ve not seen or heard anything tonight that would be concrete proof,” he said. “Seems like a lot of speculation and perspective.”

Heritage catcher Casey Opitz is a switch hitter, which could benefit him as he moves on because it could keep him in the lineup longer. Coaches sometimes pinch hit for a right-handed hitting catcher. Opitz started switch hitting when he was a youngster and can face either a right-handed or left-handed pitcher. JIM BENTON
Catchers must keep firm grip on game Position demands mental toughness, strong rapport with pitchers BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The position of catcher is not easy on the body. Players take their lumps with foul tips, flung bats and plays at home plate with a base runner charging toward them. And, of course, there’s the squatting catchers must do, keeping their knees bent with torso low to the ground to receive pitches. But sometimes, the hardest part of being a catcher has nothing to do with blocking a ball in the dirt, throwing out a runner trying to steal a base or catching a foul ball.
It’s the mental side of the game. Catchers have to be leaders — and sometimes, psychologists for their teammates on the mound. “The toughest thing about catching is the pitchers,” Lakewood senior catcher Casey O’Neill said. “Everyone is different and you have to handle each one differently. Oh, for sure, you have to be a psychologist. “Some guys, you have to go out there and tell them jokes, some guys you have to tell them they’re all right, and some guys you have to go out there and tell them straight that they are (playing poorly).” Mountain Vista coach Ron Quintana, a former catcher, said catchers need to be intelligent and able to immerse themselves in the game. “For any catcher, whether it’s high school or college, you are always looking for someone who is
going to be a leader, very vocal,” he said. “So you are looking for someone who can make good choices and good decisions.” Heritage senior Casey Opitz, who has signed to play at the University of Arkansas, is one of the area’s top catchers. But even he says controlling what others do on the diamond is often difficult. “You pretty much have to know where everybody has to go before they do,” he said. “That’s the hardest part. When it gets to the seventh inning, runner on third, blocking the ball is just instinct stuff, stuff you work on. But the mental stuff is probably the hardest part.” Some high school catchers can call which pitches the player on the mound throws — and Opitz is one of them. “It’s basically a mind game, “

oys volleyball, currently a club sport, is set to serve up another at- i tempt to the Colorado High School c Activities Association to sanction M the sport. L The CHSAA Equity Committee didn’t endorse sanctioning boys t volleyball during its Janu- o OVERTIME ary meeting, but the Colo- d rado Boys High School o Volleyball Association b will make another bid to become a sanctioned sport m at the April 20 Legislative i Council meeting. g One of the fears of add- c ing another boys sport is that schools could become t Jim Benton out of compliance with i Title IX. The federal law passed in 1972 h mandates equal opportunities for sports participation for male and female athletes. a “This is the third time it’s been up for M vote and of all the times before I believe B this has the best chance,” CBHSVA presi- p dent Mike Prusinowski said. “It all comes w down to the Legislative Council vote. If the Equity Committee would have said yes, I u would have been extremely sure we would S have the votes. Now, I am hopeful for them.” p The Equity Committee ruling is a bart ricade but not a full veto. CHSAA bylaws require the Legislative Council to weight s the Equity Committee’s recommendation in p r their decision-making process. In a CHSAA survey last November, 258 schools responded and 93 — or 36 percent a g — said they would start a boys volleyball team. Another 107 schools support sanction-b ing boys volleyball, though they wouldn’t f initially field a team. Overall, about 55 percent of schools said they could add boys volleyball and maintain compliance with Title IX. “It’s not an equity issue and they can’t make it one because 143 schools have said they could maintain compliance,” said F CBHSVA board member Scott Siegfried, a representative for Cherry Creek. “The next v question CHSAA asks is do we have offia cials? The president of the officials associa- C tion of Colorado said we have plenty of of- l ficials. Then it becomes a money issue, and the fact the gyms, the nets, the balls already exist… I’ve been working hard to reach the $40,000 mark that I will donate to CHSAA through private donors. So, in essence, the first season could be free. “We have a good case. I think I’ve answered every question single question anybody would ask so I feel good about that but this is a democratic process, people can vote and that will be what it is.” There are 50 club teams this season in the CBHSVA, with 600 participants playing in 3A and 5A. The clubs are co-op teams, with players coming from around the school districts. For instance, Cherry Creek has five teams, two 5A and three 3A, with players coming from all district schools. Of the south, west and north metro schools that responded to the CHSAA survey, those that would field teams if boys

ThunderRidge edges rival Mountain Vista Stanley’s goal gives Grizzlies 1-0 overtime win BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
If ThunderRidge junior Katherine Stanley didn’t believe in second chances, she does now after facing Mountain Vista in a Continental League soccer game. A scoreless tie after regulation sent the match, which was played March 28 on a cold, rainy night at Shea Stadium, into overtime. Stanley had an open shot early in the extra session but her attempt sailed high. Minutes later, the forward didn’t miss on a second chance and her goal in the sixth minute of the overtime gave the Grizzlies a 1-0 victory in the contest of neighborhood rivals. “In the first five minutes of overtime, I had an open shot, I took it and it went right over the goalkeeper’s head,” Stanley said. On her second opportunity, she took a pass from Alexis Wessler and beat Mountain Vista’s freshman keeper Baileigh Baker, who was playing in place of regular goalie Kylee Love, who was sick. “We just kind of worked our way up the field, and it was passed to me,” Stanley said. “There was an open opportunity and I took it.” The win in the league opener over the Golden Eagles, who were ranked sixth in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, improved ThunderRidge’s overall record to 4-2-0. “We only have three seniors, so we are a young team and I think we are going to do really good this season -because we’ve already connected and found that bond,” Stanley said.
“This was a great kickoff to the league season with Vista being our rival and hardest opponent. I felt like we were attacking more in the second half and working more as team by connecting passes. Maybe we were a little more nervous and didn’t come out as strong in the beginning.” Mountain Vista saw its overall record slip to 2-2-0.
“It was a great game,” Golden Eagles coach Theresa Echtermeyer said. “Those are good games to have early in the season to test your team. It gives you things to go back and work on. I’m proud of the way the girls played. There were tough elements for both teams and it was a well-fought match. “I’m excited to see what the season
brings us. This team, like teams of the past, works very hard and is a very good technical team and very unified group. You know what, having a couple losses doesn’t shatter our belief in each other. I expect great things from them throughout the season. It’s really early and when it comes time to get the big wins later, then we’ll take care of it.”

CATCHERS FROM PAGE 30
Westminster senior Miguel Palos likes being a catcher because ‘you are part of the whole game and you’re the leader of the whole game.’ JIM BENTON
Opitz said. “You play chess with the hitter. You have to know what pitches are working for that pitcher that day, you’ve got to know what the hitter is not seeing well, and kind of mixing those two. Then when he comes up the second time, he’ll kind of be guessing a little bit because of what he saw the first at-bat, then you have to throw the opposite of what he’s thinking.” Optiz’s teammate, standout junior pitcher Riley Egloff, appreciates the input from his catcher. “I love when a catcher comes up to you and knocks some sense into you or tells you that you need to get your head straight,” Egloff said. “Once there is someone to come out and calm you down, it’s great.” Northglenn coach Cam-
eron Tallman pitched at the University of Northern Colorado and also knows the value of a good catcher. “You have to have trust in your catcher to throw y the right pitch, do the right things and be able to throw s a ball in the dirt and be M comfortable and trust that q he will block the ball,” he b said. c Westminster’s Miguel h Palos, one of the top s catchers in the East Metro League, said it’s important v to be able to calm a pitcher m down and tell him to throw d strikes. c That just comes with the e terrain behind home plate. c “You are part of the u whole game,” Palos said. t “You’re the leader of the a whole game.” d The ultimate impact of a d top-notch catcher can often be seen in a pitcher’s statistics, Heritage coach Scott Hormann said. “A great catcher,” he said, “makes a mediocre pitcher great.”

NORTON FROM PAGE 12
you. And I will see you on Friday.” His son leaped out of his bed and said, “Wait dad. Where are you going?” Mike told his son that it would be a quick trip to Atlanta and he would be back in a couple of days. Mike’s son came over to him and hugged him, told him he loved him, and that he would see him in a couple of days. Now this may seem appropriate and very normal for many of us, and in my heart of hearts I hope that open displays of love and affection are more common for all of you than the rare exception. But anyone who has raised children through the teenage years understands that sometimes they begin to move from wanting to hold hands and hugging to becoming a little less demonstrative in their love for us. It doesn’t mean that they don’t love us, it
is usually just a phase that comes and goes for a few years. And when it comes back, the feeling is just so wonderful and amazing. And as spoken by a parent, me, I also believe that our children love and appreciate the strong bond and reconnection of affection as they mature. The look on Mike’s face and tone in his voice told me how much he sincerely appreciated the hug his son had given him that night. And I have known Mike for several years, so I was very happy for him and enjoyed the story as if I was remembering the hugs from my own children the days when I would have to travel when they were younger. How many times, though, do we have the best of intentions to stop long enough to hug our friends or families and let them know just how much we love them and appreciate them. A hug is so simple, yet so very powerful. And too many times in the rush and crush of life or in our self-created urgency we may sometimes just say a quick good-
bye, or give them a see you later, maybe even just wave as we walk out the door. I encourage you to stop and reflect the next time you are about to leave your home for a trip to the grocery store, headed out for work, or if you are leaving on vacation or a business trip and remember to just give those you love a hug, a kiss or a handshake.Let them know how you sincerely feel about them, and just how much you appreciate them. I mean we all find a way to pet the dog on our way out, but do we take that same care and attention with our family? Sadly, we hear the news where a tragedy had taken place — a car accident, a robbery gone wrong, or even terrorism. And the last thing we did was just simply wave goodbye or rush out the door. So to my fellow busy travelers and my fellow busy parents, and my fellow busy co-workers, associates, and partners, let’s make a commitment to our families and friends that when we part ways, for a brief visit to the grocery
store or pharmacy, or when we leave on a business trip, that we will stop and share our love and appreciation for our friends and family, and we will rejoice when they return that same level of love and affection as we depart, just like my friend and business partner Mike experienced. So how about you? Are you so busy, too busy, to stop and say a proper goodbye or goodnight? Or maybe pressed for time in the morning to say a proper good morning as we want to get on the road or check that all-important email? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can remember that our attention to our family and friends when we leave is just as important to them as it is painful for us when we leave, it really will be a better than good week.
