Pedestrian bridge afoot Construction started in September with completion set for summer By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Officials broke ground on the estimated $6.8 million pedestrian bridge project in Lone Tree Sept. 29. The bridge will extend over Lincoln Avenue at Heritage Hills Circle, west of the Charles Schwab corporate campus and Bank of the West. It will connect the Willow Creek Trail, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to get from city amenities like RidgeGate’s Lone Tree Arts Center Bridge continues on Page 8

Johnson makes first stop in Colorado
Libertarian candidate draws capacity crowd at CU South Denver

By Kyle Harding kharding@colorado communitymedia.com In his first campaign stop in Colorado, Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson tried to chart a course for libertarianism as a centrist position rather than one at the fringes of politics. “I think my stance on the issues is actually reflective of most Americans,” the former Republican governor of New Mexico repeated several times to reporters as well as to the
crowd at his Oct. 3 rally at CU South Denver, just west of Parker. “That being: fiscally conservative, socially inclusive, skeptical of wars, skeptical of military interventions, regime change and supporting free markets,” he continued.
Johnson noted that he and his running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, were both re-elected as Republican governors in Democratic-majority states. Johnson has polled well in Colorado, the birthplace of the national Libertarian Party,
where the leading presidential candidates, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, are unpopular. He received 1.38 percent of the state’s vote in 2012, and in a CNN poll conducted Sept. 20-25 he got 13 percent among likely voters. Johnson used the rally to hit Trump on two of his signature issues of restricting immigration and free trade, criticize Clinton on her record of supporting military interventions as a senator and the secretary of state, and praise Colorado for embracing personal freedom by legalizing marijuana.

The United States Supreme Court has announced it will hear the case of an autistic Douglas County School District student whose parents say he wasn’t provided with the level of public education required by federal law. They are seeking reimbursement for the child’s tuition and related expenses at a private school. The question centers on what educational benefits are guaranteed to a child with disabilities by a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The case, which dates to 2010, will likely not be heard by the Supreme Court until at least 2017. The student involved is identified only as Endrew F. in court documents. He attended Summit View Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. The suit was filed through his parents, Joseph F. and Jennifer F., according to the documents. The attorney for the family is listed as Jack D. Robinson, with Spies, Powers and Robinson, P.C., of Denver. Robinson said the case would prove that the standard of a “free appropriate public education” is set too low, and that students with disabilities deserve a meaningful education. “The Douglas County School District has set the bar woefully low,” he said. Robinson said he has never argued a case before the Supreme Court, but will be working with co-counsel with experience doing so. The case will likely begin with oral arguments in mid-January and have a decision in March or April, Robinson said. He said he is confident in the merits of the case and believes they could have a nationwide impact on schools and students with special needs. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, public schools must provide children with disabilities a “free appropriate public education.”

A
fall breeze cut through the end-of-summer sun in Franktown, a cool signal to volunteers at the Hidden Mesa Research and Demonstration Orchard to bring in the last crops of the season. Green thumbs from the Douglas County Master Gardener program gathered the remaining canary melons, lemon cucumbers, strawberries and other fruits and vegetables as roosters and chickens continued their patrol for freeloading grasshoppers. “I thought it was a great year overall,” said Andy Hough, environmental resources coordinator for Douglas County’s Division of Open Space and Natural Resources, of the late September harvesting. The orchard — which also shares its bounty with the Parker Task Force — is in its fifth year of trying out new cultivation methods and various crops that can thrive in Colorado’s temperamental climate. This season’s above-average temperatures had some positive and negative outcomes on the orchard’s output, Hough said. “We had the best fruit yield of any year we’ve ever had.” A warm spring, he said, kept damaging frosts at bay, benefiting the apples, elderberries, grapes and plums. The spring warmth turned to summer heat, though, and Hough said that may have contributed to a decline in melons, squash and tomato production. “Certain garden vegetables didn’t perform as well as we would have hoped,” Hough said. “Maybe it was the heat.” The ups and downs from season to season are all part of the orchard’s mission to determine the region’s heartiest crops. “To us a failure is not a failure,” Hough said. “If a certain crop doesn’t do well in our climate, then that’s valuable information.”
Fruits, vegetables of their labor Research orchard provides produce to Parker Task Force By Tom Skelley |tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Val Lovenstein harvests some of the last raspberries of the season at the Hidden Mesa Research and Demonstration Orchard in Franktown on Sept. 20. The orchard donated over 2,500 pounds of produce to the Parker Task Force this year, benefiting families who use the food bank there. Photos by Tom Skelley But Diane Roth, volunteer spokesperson for the Parker Task Force, has a purely positive take on the year’s harvest. “It’s a great year,” Roth, said. “It’s such a treat for the clients that come to the food bank to have fresh strawberries and raspberries. It’s all organic, freshly picked high quality fruits and vegetables from the garden.” Low-income clients at the task force’s food bank would normally have to spend between 40 and 70 percent of their food budget to get the high quality produce the orchard provides, Roth said.
“The support of the master gardeners just increases the amount of fruit and vegetables our clients have access to,” she said. “It improves their diets tremendously.” Roth’s husband, Jeff, is project coordinator for Hidden Mesa. It was his idea five years ago to do more than mere data collection with the crops. The projects the master gardener program oversees often provide good information, he said, but the orchard is unique in its ability to help the needy as it provides valuable agricul-

Candidates interview for school board Calls to nominate individuals will occur at Oct. 18 meeting
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Potential new school board members made their pitch for how they could help serve the Douglas County School District at a special meeting Oct. 4. The Douglas County Board of Education held interviews with candidates for the District E director position vacated by Doug Benevento, who stepped down from the board Sept. 8. Benevento said he resigned because he had accomplished what he set out to do in his seven years on the board and didn’t believe there was much else that could be accomplished before the 2017 board election. District E encompasses Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch. Of the six candidates chosen to interview by board President Meghann Silverthorn and board member David Ray, five spoke at the meeting: Lorenzo Gonzales of Castle Pines, Sally Simmons of Castle Pines, Steve Peck of Highlands Ranch, Deborah O’Dell of Highlands Ranch and John Freeman of Highlands Ranch. Bob Kaiser of Castle Pines will interview with the board at a later date. He was excused due to a family commitment. Mitchell Whitus, a 2010 graduate of Douglas County High School, was on the board’s original list of interview candidates, but did not appear at the meeting or on the night’s agenda. The board did not say there would be an interview at a later date. “Although on paper some people may look stronger than others, they all took the time to put their names in and express a desire to serve the public, so we wanted to hear all of them,” Silverthorn said. Board members asked candidates
— which would be Nov. 7 — Silverthorn, as president of the board, will appoint a person to fill the vacancy, as required by law. With the prospect of a 3-3 vote likely by the split board — half the board favors the district’s reform efforts of the past several years and half opposes them — Silverthorn said she is confident in her ability to make a decision if needed. “I don’t pretend to think that everyone is going to agree with whatever decision I make, but I am happy to make it and make sure the residents of District E have the representation they deserve and can move on,” Silverthorn said. The following is a look at the candidates who interviewed with the board Oct. 4 or have an interview scheduled: Lorenzo Gonzales Gonzales has 28 years of full-time administrative experience at the junior, middle, and high school levels and spent five years in the classroom as a teacher in the Douglas County and Cherry Creek districts. He is retired, but serves as an assistant basketball coach at Highlands Ranch High School. Gonzales said the district needs to empower and instill trust in leaders at the school level and make students the focus of district spending and improvements. What he said: “‘Union’ seems to be a bad term, but without a union, teachers are in a rudderless place in Douglas County,” Gonzales said. Sally Simmons Simmons has a doctorate in education from the University of NebraskaLincoln. During her 30-year career in education, she was a classroom teacher, administrator, education professor, researcher, international consultant and consultant for the Colorado Department of Education. She has been retired for six years and does volunteer work in the Douglas County School District. What she said: “I believe in public education, and not just because I’ve
spent my whole life doing this,” Simmons said. “Without it, I certainly would not be here. My father went to third grade. My grandmother could not read or write. Public education provided me with a chance to be something.” Steve Peck Peck was a military officer with six years of active-duty service in the Navy and two years in the Reserve. He currently works as a health care executive at UCHealth Anschutz. Peck said school safety, as well as helping to create new creative curriculum options, would be areas of focus for him. What he said: “As a millennial, I would be the only member of the board who has graduated high school since 9/11,” Peck said. I’m very familiar with the challenges of college selection and the crippling student debt that saddles 43 million Americans. We need to find ways to bend the cost curve of college education and create compelling alternatives for those planning to jump right into the marketplace after high school.”

questions about how they would handle working with the district budget, ideas for attracting and retaining teachers, how they would work with other board members and how they would measure success. A replacement will be required to reside in the district and will serve out the remainder of Benevento’s term, which expires at the end of 2017. Term limits would have prevented him from running in the next school board election in November 2017. “I’d like to see a person who is engaged, responsible and thoughtful,” Silverthorn said. Board member Wendy Vogel said she would be looking for someone with a focus on students. “I hope that when we’re all making decisions, we are doing so through the lens of what’s right for kids,” Vogel said. “I think that it is going to be really important to have someone who is going to be able to listen and build consensus.” Ray said having the right experience is important because of the small amount of time remaining in the term and that he would like to see someone appointed who is familiar with the district. “I’m looking for someone who really has a passion for who we are and knows us,” Ray said. “They have to hit the ground running.” Board member James Geddes said he would favor someone with management and finance experience over knowledge of DCSD. “If I was going to put the qualities in order, I would put knowledge of the district last,” Geddes said. “That is something that with the right amount of effort and time can be overcome by any of these applicants.” The call for motions to nominate individuals will occur at the Oct. 18 meeting. If the board does not agree on a replacement by the end of the 60th day following the declaration of the vacancy

Real men wear pink Campaign raises breast cancer awareness among men By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Breast cancer, a disease generally associated with women, also impacts the lives of many men: Raymond Mencini, a breast radiologist dat St. Anthony Hospital, diagnosed his wife with breast cancer seven years ago. Denver resident John Dye’s wife was first diagnosed with breast cancer 25 years ago, just one month after the couple married. Highlands Ranch resident Marvin Kokes lost his mother to breast cancer when she was 62 years old. These men are part of a new Real Men Wear Pink campaign to bring awareness about breast cancer in the community of men and raise money for the American Cancer Society. This October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — 19 prominent men throughout Denver will sport the color pink every day as well as raise a minimum of $2,500 each. The money will go towards the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Oct. 23 and, ultimately, towards research on the disease. “It’s an important cause,” Mencini said, “until we eradicate it.” About one in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer — which means the cancer has grown into the body’s normal tissue — over the course of her lifetime, Breastcancer.org reports. In 2016, an estimated 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women, along with 61,000 new cases of non-invasive — also called in situ — breast cancer. This type of breast cancer stays within the milk ducts in the breast. Men are also at risk. In 2016, the American Cancer Society estimates about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be
diagnosed among men and about 440 men will die from the disease. “It’s not just a women’s disease,” said Cristina Johnson, community manager of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. “Both men and women can be affected.” Mencini, medical director of St. Anthony Breast Center, saw a different, more personal side of breast cancer when his wife, Gail, battled it. She’s now a seven-year survivor. “It’s a passion for me that women get the best, most compassionate care they can,” said Mencini, who is also chairman of the Centura Health Physician Group board. A huge part of the fight against breast cancer is attitude and having a support system, Gail said. She spends a lot of time talking to patients. “You get this big ‘C’ diagnosis and it’s terrifying,” she said. “You don’t know what to do.” Mencini wears a pink tie every day, he said, so continuing it through the month of October will not be difficult. Dye, executive vice president and general counsel of Western Union, was 27 and newly married when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. The disease had spread to her lymph nodes and doctors gave her a 30 to 40 percent chance of survival. She’s been cancer-free for 25 years. The disease affected everything, from having kids to their quality of life, Dye said. The couple ended up using surrogate pregnancy to have children. “It’s a challenge for spouses as well,” Dye said. “People need advice — they need advocates.” Which is why it’s easy for him to support the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, he said. Kokes, senior vice president of industry and member services for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, is shopping to expand his pink wardrobe for the campaign, he said. He’s also considering painting his office pink. Kokes grew up on a ranch east of Sterling, about 128 miles from Denver. His mother died of breast cancer about 14 years ago.

GOING PINK FOR OCTOBER
WHO’S INVOLVED?
In support of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, Colorado Community Media is going pink! Search this week’s paper and look for ads with pink ribbons. Each advertiser that displays a pink ribbon has made a special donation toward local breast cancer research. For more details on the pink ribbon promotion, please see the ad in this week’s paper. Colorado Community Media also will feature special editorial coverage throughout October to bring awareness about breast cancer and inspiration through the stories of people who have fought the disease. A portion of all pink ribbon sales will go toward breast cancer research. If you wish to show your support through a story idea, please contact Ann Healey at ahealey@coloradocommunitymedia.com or if you would like to make a financial donation to local breast cancer research, please contact Erin Addenbrooke at eddenbrooke@coloradocommunitymedia. com. “She was the matriarch of the family,” Kokes said. “She raised six kids.” The research and effort it takes to find a cure for the disease requires money, he said. He saw the campaign as an opportunity to give back. “Cancer,” he said, “touches everyone — from all walks of life.”

BREAST CANCER SCREENING GUIDELINES Breast cancer typically produces no symptoms when a tumor is small and most easily treated, the American Cancer Society says, which is why it’s so important for women to follow screening guidelines: • Women ages 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. • Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every two years. • And all women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any changes to a health care provider immediately.

Chefs compete in world food contest Jeff Gebott and Adam Feinberg participated in Taste of Douglas County
“The atmosphere is really just fun. At the end of the day, we’re all really passionate about food.”
By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two chefs who participated in this year’s Taste of Douglas County event will soon be competing in the 2016 World Food Championships. Jeff Gebott is a Top 3 chef from the Taste of Douglas County competition. He’s also a general manager and corporate chef with Southern Hospitality, a barbecue restaurant in Lone Tree. The Justin Timberlake-backed restaurant chain also has locations in Denver and Colorado Springs. He and colleague Adam Feinberg, who works as the “pit master” and prep cook for Southern Hospitality’s location in Denver, helped represent the restaurant during the Taste of Douglas County in August. They recalled the crowds of people, the ever-growing food lines and the rush to get everyone served. This year, they passed out 1,100 pork sliders during the event, Gebott said. But their favorite part was the camaraderie among chefs and cooks who attend.

Adam Feinberg, left, and Jeff Gebott will compete at the 2016 World Food Championships in November. Courtesy photo “The atmosphere is really just fun,” Gebott said. “At the end of the day, we’re all really passionate about food.” Since then, Gebott and Feinberg
qualified to compete in separate categories at the World Food Championships Nov. 9-13 in Orange Beach, Alabama. Feinberg has competed at the event before but this will be Gebott’s first trip. The prize purse is $300,000. “It’s like the Olympics,” Feinberg said.
Gebott’s category is steak. Feinberg’s is seafood. If the two win the first round of their respective divisions, they’ll advance to compete against one another. They both qualified through one of the largest qualifying events called the Taste of America challenge. In the first round, chefs submitted a photo of their entry dish on Instagram. Judges picked a number of entries from each state and asked competitors to submit their recipes for further review. Gebott’s dish alone used 14 different recipes. The next task, Feinberg said, is perfecting the recipes they’ll bring to the championships. And despite the event’s competitiveness, Gebott said the camaraderie remains the strongest draw. “We are,” Gebott said of Feinberg, “still friends.”

Johnson
“A wasted vote is voting for somebody you don’t believe in.”
Continued from Page 1
Mentions of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which says candidates must poll an average of 15 percent in five pre-selected national polls, drew boos from the crowd, which Johnson joined. “I am actually polling higher than Ross Perot was polling when he was allowed into the debates,” he said, referencing the independent candidate who received nearly 19 percent of the nationwide popular vote in 1992. He also pushed back against the idea that voting for third-party candidate is a wasted vote. “A wasted vote is voting for somebody you don’t believe in,” he said. Johnson addressed his recent gaffes — not recognizing the city of Aleppo in Syria or being able to name a foreign leader he admires — and the idea that he is an unserious candidate for voters concerned about foreign policy by saying that other politicians who can name foreign leaders or citizens have gotten the U.S. involved in military entanglements in the Middle East. “We arm the Free Syrian Army, those arms end up in the hands of the Islamists,” he said. “We support the Kurds against the Islamists but the Kurds are sideways with our Turkish allies, who aren’t such good allies since we invaded Iraq,” he said. Johnson said it should be as easy as possible to immigrate to find a better life. “I recognized in 2012 that 30 percent of Republicans believe the scourge of the

— Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate for U.S. president
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson drew a crowd of about 1,000 to CU South Denver on Oct. 3. The former governor of New Mexico made his pitch to disaffected Republicans and Democrats, saying he believes most Americans broadly agree with his ideas. Photo by Kyle Harding earth is Mexican immigration, and it is my voice in 2012 saying this is a political bogeyman,” he said. “It doesn’t exist. It’s made up. Immigration is really a good thing.” “The main reason that there are 11 million undocumented workers in this country is because you can’t get a work visa,” he continued. While Johnson made his pitch to defectors on both sides of the aisle by acknowledging a need for a social safety net, a national defense and a discussion of how to keep guns out of the hands of

the mentally ill, he also threw out red meat for the Libertarian faithful with harsh criticism of the government’s monetary policy, surveillance and criminal justice. To cheers, he announced that, based on what he knows, he would pardon NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and said that he believes drug prohibition drives violence. People at the rally sported shirts or buttons with a wide variety of unofficial campaign slogans, including “Make America Sane Again.”

Hamon promised minimal traffic interruptions along Lincoln Avenue where 65,000 cars drive each day. He said lot of the pieces of the project would be built off-site
Nolon Cochron, of Milliken, wearing a “Veterans for Johnson” T-shirt, said that he came to the Libertarian Party from the conservative side and the biggest issue for him is scandals within the Department of Veterans Affairs. “I’ve heard both parties want to take care of veterans and when they say they want to take care of veterans, I haven’t seen it,” the Marine Corps veteran said. Unlike many Johnson supporters, Cochron, 35, does not consider himself to be completely anti-war. “I’m not a radical Libertarian,” he said. Coming from the other end of the political spectrum was Sam Short of Fountain, a former Bernie Sanders backer. “I stand very much where (Johnson) stands with personal liberties,” said Short, 23, who registered as a Democrat to support Sanders but said that he will switch his affiliation to the Libertarian Party. Johnson knows the presidency isn’t in the cards for a third-party candidate. But he described his end-game before the rally. “To ruin the two-party system,” he said.
and transported to Lone Tree to minimize the impact of construction on drivers. More than 150 residents attended town hall meetings about the project and 180 called into a telephone town hall to give input. The Leaf Bridge, as many have begun to call the project, will include an 85-foot-tall metal leaf sculpture. About $3.5 million of the
bridge’s cost will come from other entities, including South Suburban Parks and Recreation, Douglas County government, the Park Meadows Metro District, Coventry Development and Omni Park Metropolitan District. “We wanted a bridge that really matched the quality of the community, and I think that was really achieved with the leaf design,” Millet said.

A picture is worth a thousand memories OK, so maybe the saying is, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” For me, the words that people have shared with me over the years have certainly shaped my life in so many ways. And as a visual learner, pictures have enhanced my learning moments and my ability to retain information at an even greater level. And now as we live in a world of constant instant photography moments lived out through selfies, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and other social media resources, we have unlimited access to take and view photographs and videos. Are we taking those photos and selfies to promote ourselves in an effort to say to the internet world, “Hey look at me, here I am?” Or are we taking our photos and videos to preserve a slice of personal or family history and memories in an otherwise “me” focused world? In a recent “clean up and clean out” event in our home we came across boxes and boxes of old photographs. We found picture frames that once adorned the walls of our home that still contained the still moments of our active lives captured on film. Christmas, birthdays, skiing, golf, first lost teeth, fireworks, hikes, and even emergency room visits for those first broken wrists or bumps and bruises. We also found black-and-white photos from grandparents and great uncles and aunts who played such loving roles in our lives. What should have taken just a few hours of “clean up and clean out” turned into two days of walking down a beautiful, happy and sometimes sad memory lane. As images are shared with me via text
or email, through my news feed or through social media, I still find myself more attracted to the tangible photos found in the storage bins of my basement. And even more than those physical photos and videos, I find myself really falling back in love with the Michael Norton memories, images, and the photo album WINNING in my head and in my WORDS heart. A picture really is worth a thousand memories. Maybe I have been blessed with a betterthan-average memory, although with each year that passes by my memory seems to get stronger, it also gets incredibly shorter. However, I am so thankful and feel so very blessed that I can still close my eyes and see those moments that shaped my life so vividly and so clearly. Whether we took a photo or not, the memories firmly planted in my head and in my heart are worth far more to me than any instant image or selfie that I have shared or that has been shared with me. It’s been said that technology has replaced our ability to remember things only because we no longer have to rely on our memory — we can simply store or save telephone numbers, favorites, photos, and anything else in a computers, tablets and smart phones. Now instead of calling some-
one from memory, we just push a button and we are instantly connected. If we ever find ourselves without our phone or contact database, we are just out of luck, while in the past we knew exactly how to reach those we needed at the time when we needed them. So for me, it’s just like a picture or an image. Whether we take a picture with a phone or a camera, or we simply watch and absorb the moments, storing them in our personal memory bank, it comes down to the relevance, beauty, grandeur or even simplicity of what we want to choose to capture and remember. It really has been a beautiful life, lived in a beautiful world full of blessings and miracles. It has also been a tough life lived through conflicts and personal and public battles. And even though in some cases pictures can remind us of exactly what happened, the memories held closely in our head and in our hearts are sometimes so much more intimate and powerful. A picture truly is worth a thousand memories. How about you? Are you allowing yourself to live life and relive life through the lens of your memories or the lens of a camera or smart phone? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can appreciate the beautiful moments of our lives through shared memories instead of just shared photos, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Nothing like an equinox to bring some equanimity “We’ve got to have a fall-guy.” That’s what hardboiled detective Sam Spade says in author Dashiell Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon.” Spade, I’m your man. My disposition falls forward at this time of the year, and no leaf goes unturned. Craig Marshall Smith Albert Camus said, QUIET “Autumn is a second DESPERATION spring when every leaf is a flower.” From the autumnal equinox to the day that we will have to change our clocks next March (why?), I can be seen without a scowl, which is a rarity in the summer, when the dog and I both pant. When I lived east of Colorado, fall meant that the unbearable humidity had come to an end.
When I lived west of Colorado, fall meant that Arizona was no longer someone’s sick joke about the weather. But even more than weather changes, fall is a great time to look back. On the year, and on my life. And to filter as many negative thoughts as I can about both of them. Autumn is a quiet time of the year, even quieter than winter, which can howl at you with a tall blizzard whenever it feels like it. And it’s a lot quieter than summer, which gets drunk on fireworks and block parties. Inside, my home it’s different too. The air conditioning is not running all the time, for one thing. I like to get out the long-sleeved shirts and sweaters, and to wear long pants again, and not look like a 60-something who wants to look like a 20-something. I’ll give you an idea about my change in temperament. Smith continues on Page 11

Checking smoke alarms is huge boost for safety With October here, changing leaf color, pumpkin-flavored everything and cozying up by the fire are a few things that come to mind. October also means special attention to promoting safety during Fire Prevention Week, which is Oct. 9-15 this year. Fire Prevention Week always falls in the week of Oct. 9, which is the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This historic fire was so tragic and destructive that the Fire Marshals Association decided to start Fire Prevention Week in 1922 so these devastating events would never happen again. Did you know that smoke alarms can expire? It’s true. Just like the milk in your fridge has an expiration, so do your smoke alarms. That’s the nature of the theme for the National Fire Protection Association’s Fire Prevention Week 2016: “Don’t Wait — Check the Date! Replace
Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years.” Smoke alarms are a life-saving technology but are easily forgotten. Too often we only replace the batteries when the alarm chirps Art Morales or we might even unplug it LIVING AND altogether to stop that anAGING WELL noying noise. Yet, according to the National Fire Protection Association, smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a fire in half, since most fire deaths are from smoke inhalation.
Smoke alarms alert you as soon as they sense smoke or detect particles in the air, depending on the type of alarm. Modern smoke alarms are also interconnected throughout the house, meaning that a fire in your basement doesn’t have to spread to your bedroom for your bedroom alarm to sound. Fire Prevention Week 2016 recognizes and recommends this life-saving technology. You can determine the age of your smoke alarms by checking on the back or side of them for their manufacture dates. If it is time to change your smoke alarms, it is best to get the newer interconnected system as it provides the highest degree of alerting, giving you more time to get to safety more quickly. This year’s theme is especially important for those who live in older homes or those who have lived in their homes for more than 10 years and have not
replaced their smoke alarms. A caution for seniors: Don’t be tempted to climb up a ladder to check a smoke alarm. We recommend getting help from a family member, friend, handyman or electrician to change your units. Here are a few more fire safety tips: • When using a portable heater in the colder months, make sure it is at least three feet away from anything that can burn. • Use a heater with an automatic shutoff feature just in case it gets knocked over. • If you enjoy candles in your home, make sure to keep them away from curtains or combustibles, keep an eye on them when lit and always blow them out before leaving the room. Art Morales has been the fire chief for Castle Rock Fire and Rescue for 13 years. He has been a firefighter since 1979.

I made an online appointment to renew my driver’s license. I don’t know how you feel about going to the Department of Motor Vehicles, but I would truthfully rather have a root canal (I have had two). But this time would be different. Correct? Not really. I was sent to the wrong DMV. “We don’t do renewals by appointment here.” “Has this happened before?” “All the time.” My choices were to take a number. It looked like my area code. Or hurry to the other DMV, and take my chances, knowing that I was going to be late. I decided to take my chances. On the way I thought it over. Was I going to be pre-autumnal equinox Craig? I decided against it, and it worked.

An extremely helpful DMV employee took me to the head of the line. I think if I had gone in there with my summer scowl, things might have been different. My inclination is to fit in with what Robert Hughes referred to as “The Culture of Complaint.” You may have noticed. I have said over and over that I am not Mother Teresa. I should point out that I am working with my sixth therapist. For some reason, the other five all moved and didn’t leave forwarding addresses. Anyway, Number Six wants me to work on letting things go, especially things that I can’t control, and I can’t control anything. I told her that the minute I walk out the front door, I encounter the unpolished human animal who does not even know how to use a turn signal. But autumn is on, and I am off of my fault-finding duties. Mostly. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net.

Fall’s favorite flavor

Pumpkin is everywhere, from lattes to pies to bread By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com
M
any people may think of pumpkin-flavored drinks and food as nothing more than the seasonal fad that comes around each fall. For others it’s simply an exalted, or sensationalized, latte flavor. But not so fast. According to Denver-metro chef Jason Morse and Arvada nutritionist Jess Sorci, pumpkin has real benefits in both the kitchen and your diet. “It’s hardy, it’s durable, it’s a good fall flavor,” Morse said. Morse has worked as a chef for 22 years. He is currently a chef and grill expert with ACE Hardware and owns 5280 Culinary. Whether cooking a bread pudding, a pie, a cheesecake, or even making a blizzard, there’s always a good way to work it into a recipe, he said. Plus, there are many ways to cook with pumpkin that people don’t often think about. Pumpkin ravioli, gnocchi or fettuccine make for great dishes, he said. In Morse’s words, pumpkin is a flavor that crosses over nicely between sweet and savory. It can also be used in a stew or pasta recipe. “I think you could definitely use it year round,” he said. His advice when cooking is to be sure that canned pumpkin is 100 percent the real deal. Or, he said, purchase a small and firm pumpkin-pie pumpkin to split and roast.
FUN FACTS ABOUT PUMPKINS • In 2014, U.S. farmers produced 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins in the top six states. • The top six pumpkin-producing states are: Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and California. • The largest pumpkin pie ever made was 20 feet in diameter and weighed 3,699 pounds. Sources: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Guinness World Records “And,” he said, “don’t be afraid to experiment.” Pumpkin’s nutritional benefits are well worth it, said Sorci, a master nutrition therapist. Pumpkin is nutrient-dense, she said, meaning it is high in nutrients but low in calories. It’s also a great source of fiber, protein, antioxidants and vitamins A and C. “I think pumpkin often gets overlooked,” she said. Antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin protect the eyes from UV rays, while pumpkin’s potassium helps lower blood pressure. According to Sorci, 100 grams of pumpkin seeds is about 30 grams of protein. Back to cooking, Sorci has some tips of her own. “You can actually use pumpkin puree in place of butter and oil in baking,” she said.
Pumpkin cheesecake By chef Jason K. Morse, C.E.C., 5280 Culinary, LLC Crust 2 cups gingersnaps, crushed 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1 stick butter, melted 2 tablespoons hickory smoked salt In a medium mixing bowl, add the crushed gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and smoked salt. Mix well until all butter is absorbed by the crumbs. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch spring form pan with non-stick cooking spray. Press crumb mixture into bottom of pan. Filling 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese 1 can pumpkin puree 4 whole eggs 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup sour cream 1-1/2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons vanilla paste 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and allow to soften for 20 minutes. Using a hand mixer with paddles beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla paste and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth. Topping 1 tablespoon hickory smoked salt
Chef Jason Morse routinely uses pumpkin in his recipes. Pictured here is his pumpkin cheesecake. Courtesy photo Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour cheesecake batter into the pan over the crust and allow the batter to settle. Place in the oven on the middle rack and cook for 45 minutes. Check the cheesecake, then continue to cook in 10-minute increments until done, approximately 60-75 minutes. Cheesecake should have a firm center with a slight amount of wiggle. Once the cheesecake is set, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes, and then top with smoked salt. Place in refrigerator to cool for at least four hours. Serve well chilled.

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
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.
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 experts 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 help. 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 technology such as fluoroscopy 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 fluoroscopy, 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 viscosupplementation 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-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic 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 720-500-1045.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver
After thousands already helped knee pain suffers 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 SecretTo 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
Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”
Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of Hologic Digital Imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
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 the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 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 an-
swered 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 720-500-1045 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. And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 720-500-1045.
If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee? Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other anti-inflammatory medications without success? Have you already tried viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Supartz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results?

A BELOW-GROUND LOOK AT THE PAST Littleton historical consultant Gail Keeley will talk about a professional project she carried out: a historic impact assessment of Denver’s brick sewers. It was needed as the Colorado Department of Transportation and the City of Denver were planning and rebuilding streets and ran across these sewers under Broadway and elsewhere. What lines were still there and of what size? In 1966, the National Historic Preservation Act passed, stating that if you have national funding, you must assess impact on historic property — including property beneath the surface. (Like the environmental impact studies we are probably more aware of.) There was an independent history of a line under Alameda, but not of the whole system, and the sewers were interesting for their craftsmanship as well as locations, Keeley said. She has specialized in transportation-related subjects (including Union Station, nine years; I-25 corridor, 10 years) and was hired to do this study. Some were three rings of brick for large storm sewers and there were smaller lines used as sanitary sewers. (A ring or two or three rings of bricks and

Portland cement.) The largest in place today is on 40th Street between Blake and Wynkoop, she said. (They measured up to 120 inches.) She identified 961 separate segments: 53 miles of brick storm sewers and 23 miles of sanitary sewers. Originally, they all dumped into the South Platte River, Keeley said — as they did elsewhere in the country, until cholera became a big concern (1868-1879 in Denver). People suffered dehydration, chills and died in a couple of days. “We take sewers so for granted today,” Keeley said. When everyone had outhouses, contamination accumulated in the ground. The Rocky Mountain News wrote “the ground beneath is so thoroughly impregnated with filth …” In 1872, Denver had its first piped water. In 1879, there was a vote to establish a public water system. (1,158, yes; 340, no.) Primary treatment started in 1937, secondary treatment in 1967. Attend Keeley’s Colorado History Camp presentation to learn more — including about the false teeth…

Breast cancer affects us all, and early detection can save lives. There is no cure for breast cancer, but mammograms can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. Every woman, beginning at age 40, should schedule a mammogram and a physical every year. Women should also perform a thorough breast self-exam once a month. Help spread awareness in your community by educating your neighbors and friends on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and encourage the women you know to schedule a mammogram today.

Exhibit shows works by derjue Littleton Museum displays paintings by area artist By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Whether it’s in her light, sunny home studio or on a village street in Germany, Littleton artist rita dejue, now an active octogenarian, sees color and composition — and sketches scenes and details in her notebook, with color notes and other comments. A large display of her sketchbooks and a video about her work fills part of a gallery in her new exhibit. At times, she also creates small watercolor works outdoors, but the large paintings in her new exhibit at the Littleton Museum, “The Best Roads Lead Uphill,” were painted in her studio. They are filled with exuberant color and a careful look reveals precise composition, although they appear to be spontaneous and carefree. Derjue cites “Switzerland,” a watercolor painted onsite in 2013, as her favorite in this show. Painted in the north part of Switzerland, near the German border, “there was a wonderful mountain range and

Admission is free. beautiful green in the valley. When I finished it, I said: `This came out the way I wanted it to — gradation of color, essence of the deeper valley.’” She has a cousin who lives in this area and has visited there. The title painting has been shown before at a Colorado Watercolor Society exhibit, and there’s a newer version as well. The watercolor painting called “The New West” was created in her studio after a trip to the East Coast to visit family and friends. “It’s not a particular place,” she said, but came from her active imagination. “I went back to it after a year and decided `it needs a little dark and a little red.’”
She has often painted “en plein air” — out of doors — over the years, but chooses to use watercolors because acrylic paint dries too quickly. She started using acrylics many years ago, when working on her master’s degree at Cornell University. At that time, one bought powder and a medium and mixed them. “I still have some powders and medium (polyvinyl acetate). In upstate New York, they were slow to dry.” In a booklet, beautifully designed by the museum’s exhibition curator Kevin Oehler after several interview sessions, she talks about inspiration from travel. Best spot for inspiration? “Are you joking? Out of 215 places? Well, Paris, Munich and Central Europe for history of art and museums. Mexico in 1957-58 for the culture and a climate conducive to painting. Then, China in 1982, for its heritage of architecture and landscapes …” Abstract Expressionism was the most important influence, she adds, particularly the German painter Hans Hoffman. Then the “Fauves”: Matisse, Derain, Dufy and Der Blaue Reiter in Germany and Die Brucke in France and Germany in 1900, especially Gabriele Munter and August Macke …

In this production she is one of three puppeteers, clad in sheer black, who move and speak as the oldest boy. The other puppeteers are Deepali Lindblom and Kenneth Berba.
Act II finds the mother trying to meditate in India, near the Tibetan monastery, pregnant with another child and heartbroken as she sees her little boy with a shaven head and monk’s garb.

ZOMBIES ENLIVEN THE WEEKEND
October 6, 2016
ctober started with a crawl as zombies — or people and pets dressed as them — shambled down Littleton Boulevard and into downtown, led by the Rootin’ Tootin” Dixieland Jazz Band playing a New Orleans-style funeral march. The sixth annual Zombie Crawl and Pig Roast on Oct. 1 was sponsored by the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association. Hundreds of zombies took part, beginning at Woodlawn Shopping Center, with some joining in late as the crawl approached the parking lot of the Reinke Bros. costume shop, where it ended with the pig roast. Greg Reinke, president of the merchants association, said the crawl is a family-friendly event that always draws a large crowd. “This is such a fun one to do,” he said.

Mobiles bring grace to Littleton Museum Mattie O’s win in show led to one-person exhibit
IF YOU GO “In Suspension” is presented by the Littleton Fine Arts Board through Oct. 23 at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton. Admission is free. Open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. 303-795-3950.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com From engineering to Ikebana to mobiles, artist Mattie O has followed a winding path to her exhibit, “In Suspension” which opened Sept. 16 in Littleton. The Littleton Museum gallery where Mattie O’s “In Suspension” hangs is transformed into a magical spot where the slightest bit of breeze sets her mobiles into gentle motion. As thehy move, the lighting hits different spots on the colorful blossoms and leaves, adding interest. Also exhibited are dresses that made me think of Titania, Queen of the Fairies in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” They float and shimmer. The dresses are suspended from graceful curved stands and look ready to dance. Each leaf or flower that decorates the skirts or hangs in the mobiles is individually hand-made, said Mattie O, the artist who won Best of Show in the 2015 “Own an Original” exhibit. That win entitled her to a one-person show this fall, which means she has been working steadily in the studio at her home in Monument, creating the thousands of tiny flowers and leaves and shapes that flutter in the museum gallery. There are 32 works in the show, including several collages. She has been creating this imaginative world for only three or four years, she said, after retiring and taking up watercolor — “like other older woman.” At 60, she is busy working with a new medium, abaca fiber, that “is well-known in the paper world,” she said. She receives it in five-gallon buckets and works with it and with papier mache. “I like the organic nature of abaca,” she said. She is part of a Facebook group of paper artists who went to Vietnam in November. (She missed the opening

“Kiki’s Aspen Dress,” papier-mache and brass (2016), is included in the “In Suspension” exhibit by Mattie O, winner of “Best of Show” in the 2015 Own an Original at Littleton Museum. (The winner is rewarded with a solo show the following year.) Photo by Kevin Oehrle where her win was announced.) There, they met a man who fashions tiny insects from paper. Surprisingly, she came out of a career as a civil engineer. “I didn’t play with dolls as a child — I had my Erector Sets!” (Her mother was an elementary school art teacher, so there was some exposure
to the arts.) She was one of few women engineers who worked with offshore oil. And she designed the astronauts’ backpacks they wear to fly around and make repairs. She also went to law school and practiced environmental law for 20 years, including litigation regarding the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, now a nature preserve.
“When I retired, I became a hermit, a ski bum and lived in a one-room log cabin. At 45, I started art classes, but don’t have a degree. When I retired at 50, I took botanical illustration classes at the Denver Botanic Gardens. That sharpened my drawing skills.” She also learned Ikebana, the art of Japanese flower arrangements, which influences her art. In this exhibit, various skills come together: the botanical — and a little engineering to make sculptures balance, she observed. And technical skills helped when it came time to move the collection up to Littleton Museum. Some things moved flat on insulation board. Some were carefully packed in boxes. Others hung from the roof of the van she rented to transport her work. All her pieces were assembled with planning and lighting by museum curator Kevin Oehler. “There’s something fanciful about mobiles. They snag our imagination and spirits. I’m a huge fan of Alexander Calder. Of his whimsical mobiles, it was said `His mobiles occupy one’s mind without constraining it and guide one’s thoughts to blissful pathways.’ (Patrick Waldberg.) That’s my aim. My mobiles are constructed using papers imported from Japan, Thailand and Nepal or paper I have made from abaca fiber. I use artists acrylic gloss medium and varnish so that blossoms and leaves are durable, washable and archival …,” said Mattie O. Enjoy a light-hearted visit to “In Suspension.”

Court Continued from Page 1
The mechanism by which schools meet this requirement is the individualized education program, or IEP, according to court documents. IEPs were established by the case Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley in 1982, a case out of Peekskill, New York. Each IEP must be “reasonably calculated to confer an educational benefit on the child.” Endrew F. was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder a year after that, court documents say. His autism affects his cognitive functioning, language and reading skills, and his social and adaptive abilities. He attended Douglas County schools from preschool through fourth grade. During that time, he received special-education services, including IEPs tailored to meet his unique needs. “At the conclusion of an especially rocky fourth-grade year, Drew’s parents, Joseph and Jennifer F., decided Drew was not making any meaningful progress and rejected the IEP proposed by the District for fifth grade,” the documents state. “As a result, they withdrew him from the District and instead enrolled him at Firefly Autism House, a private school (in Denver) that specializes in educating autistic children. The parents then turned to the District for reimbursement of Drew’s private-school tuition and related expenses.”
In August 2015, the United States 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the school district did provide a “a free appropriate public education.” “We find sufficient support in the record to affirm the findings of the administrative law judge that the child received some educational benefit while in the District’s care and that is enough to satisfy the District’s obligation to provide a free appropriate public education,” the court wrote in its ruling. “...the District did not violate the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act... and is not required to reimburse the cost of the student’s private school education.” The school district’s denial of reimbursement had been upheld in administrative court and federal district court before being affirmed in appeals court. On Sept. 29, the day it was announced the Supreme Court would take up the case, school district officials would not comment on specific matters related to the case. “It would be inappropriate to discuss the specifics of the case while it is still being litigated, but the court’s decision today is not a decision on the merits, and we look forward to addressing the issues before the court,” the school district said in an emailed statement. Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn said the board would need to speak to the district’s legal counsel before commenting on the case in detail, but said she “looks forward to the situation being resolved.” “We all want to provide every child with the best education we possibly can,” Silverthorn said.

Jaguars fourth at meet Rock Canyon competes at Lakewood invitational By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mats covered most of the floor of the Lakewood High School gymnasium as Rock Canyon and 11 other teams competed in the annual Lakewood Think Pink Gymnastics Meet. Each team at the Oct. 1 meet was allowed to enter six athletes in each of the four events: balance beam, uneven parallel bars, vault and floor exercise. Many gymnasts competed in all events
KEEPING SCORE WITH... JASMINE SCHMIDT Senior volleyball player Chaparral High School
What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is Remember the Titans because I love football movies and it teaches lessons about loving and supporting your teammates no matter who they are. What is your favorite pre-competition meal? Why? My favorite pre-competition meal is loaded baked potatoes because it’s healthy and tastes the best. Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete (past or present)? My favorite athlete is Hannah Werth (Nebraska volleyball and Puerto Rico National Team)
to post all-around scores. Rock Canyon finished fourth in the team standings with a score of 162.25. Candace Holte, assistant Rock Canyon coach, said the team is made up of girls from five Highlands Ranch high schools: Valor Christian, Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Highlands Ranch and Rock Canyon. “They are a great group of girls. They love gymnastics, they are full of joy and they are very supportive of each other,” she said. “We are blessed that we practice at a private facility, so it isn’t too hard for the girls to get to the location.” There are 23 girls on the Rock
because she is extremely passionate about her sport, which showed through her actions on the court. She is the best possible teammate and role model and I aspire to play and treat others as well as she does. Why do you participate in sports? I participate in sports because I love being part of a team effort, and I like to represent my school in a positive way. What is your favorite subject in school? Sociology is my favorite subject because you learn about society and the influence others have on you. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? No superstitions, and besides my mental preparation, not any other rituals. As a team, we like to dance it out before games. “Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.
Canyon roster. The coach said all the girls have some gymnastics experience plus the team benefits from the girls who focus on gymnastics and compete with club teams when not competing with the high school team. Holte said the team’s best event depends on the day. “Floor exercise is always a strong event for us,” she said. “But there are days when some of the girls really hit their routines on other apparatus so that is our best event of that day.” The coach said the meet was an opportunity for the team to see gymnasts Jaguars continues on Page 31
Judd Erickson, football, senior, Mountain Vista: The Golden Eagles lost 64-49 to Regis Jesuit on Sept. 30, but quarterback Erickson did his best to alter the outcome as he went 35-of-56 for 507 yards and five touchdowns. For the season, Erickson leads the state’s Class 5A schools in passing yardage with 1,963, an average of 392.6 yards per game. Keeley Davis, volleyball, junior, Rock Canyon: She had 16 kills and a 59.3 hitting percentage in the Jaguars’ 3-0 win over Heritage on Sept. 29. Dylan McCaffrey, football, senior, Valor Christian: McCaffrey, the Eagles’ quarterback, completed 20of-31 passes for 336 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-26 win over Cherry Creek on Sept. 29. Daryl Gulbreath, football, senior, Englewood: In the Pirates’ 35-0 triumph over Sheridan on Sept. 30, Gulbreath had 311 all-purpose yards. He rushed for 224 yards and a touchdown, caught two passes for 65 yards and a score and had 22 kickoff-return yards. Caden Meis, football, sophomore, Legend: He averaged 13.5 yards per carry in the Titans’ 41-0 conquest of Boulder on Oct. 1. Meis gained 216 yards on 16 attempts and tallied three touchdowns.

I’m wondering if anybody can remember those pop quizzes that teachers and professors used to give near the end of class. It was then I realized that maybe I should have paid more attention. It’s time for a pop quiz for all casual high school football fans. Teams will start play this week in the new football alignments for all divisions and now is the time to test the recollection of these new leagues that are used for Jim Benton football only. So does OVERTIME anybody know which league Westminster will compete in? What about Legend, Ralston Valley, ThunderRidge, Arapahoe, Heritage or D’Evelyn? These league alignments will be in place again next season in the two-year cycle, but the conference placements could all be changed again, so short term memory could be helpful. Westminster, by the way, plays in the Mount Antero League, Legend in Mount Lincoln, Ralston Valley in Mount Wilson, ThunderRidge in the Mount Cameron and Arapahoe in Mount Massive. Heritage is a member of the Class 4A Plains League and D’Evelyn and plays in the 2A Flatirons League. Class 5A has been reduced from 50 to 42 teams and the playoff field for 5A has been sliced to 16 teams. The computer-generated Ratings Performance Index will determine the nine playoff teams that are not league champions. A running quarterback Trey Windham was Cherry Creek’s running back but stepped up to take over as the quarterback after the Bruins’ starting and backup signal callers were injured. Windham figured in all the Bruins’ touchdowns in the 41-26 loss to Valor Christian on Sept. 29. He completed 10 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns and carried the ball 12 times for 98 yards and another score. #goodidea I couldn’t agree more with the National Federation of State High School Associations and its 51 high school associations that will celebrate National High School Activities month in October with the launch of the #MyReasonWhy campaign.

Highlands Ranch golfer captures state title Falcons claim second place as Regis Jesuit wins team title By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch senior Kyle Pearson was crowned the state golf champion during the Class 5A state tournament Sept. 26 and 27 at the Bookcliff Country Club in Grand Junction. However, Highlands Ranch golfers left the course thinking about a shot or two that could have been saved. The Falcons had a chance to win the team title but were stymied by a bad lie on the 18th hole. Pearson carded a bogey, which allowed Regis Jesuit to capture the state title by a stroke. Regis fashioned a two-day total of 436, while Highlands Ranch came in with the best three-player score during the final round but finished at 437 for second place. Pearson put together rounds of 5-under-par 66 and 4-under-67 for a 133 total and a six-shot individual win over secondplace Davis Bryant of Eaglecrest. He had a hole-in-one on the 136-yard, par-3 15th hole during the final round. That was the same hole teammate Jackson Crist aced during a practice round. Pearson’s play drew praise from his coach. “He hits it far and hits it straight,” Highlands Ranch coach James Barker said. “He’s a good putter and has a pretty good short game. He’s kind of unflappable when he gets going. He believes that he can get it done. He was at the top of his game.” Pearson is the second Highlands Ranch golfer to win a state title. Caleb Barker was the state champion in 2009 and the Falcons have now been the state runnersup six times. Highlands Ranch could have won the title if Pearson birdied the 582-yard 18th hole. A par on the hole would have created

We had 240 yards to pin downhill and we hit a club that was supposed to go 250. He just knocked it out to the right a little and it got in a horrible lie, probably some of the worst rough on the course. “The ball was down two or three inches in thick rough. There was a tree in front of him. He had to pitch it out sideways. He made a really a good shot to pitch it out where he did in front of the green. His next pitch shot got a little unlucky and wandered off a foot or two. He had a five- or six-footer for the tie. And the putt barely edged. He was upset about that.”

Kyle would have never shot those scores of 66 and 67 without playing aggressively. That’s the way we do it. He kept us in there with a chance because without Kyle’s scores we’re not even close. “I’ve kind of gone 180 on how I teach kids how to play golf. If you can hit the ball a long way, the statistics over the last 15 years on the PGA Tour, say that the closer you get to the target on your first shots, the less shots it takes you to get the

Rock Canyon’s Nick Caldwell, the first-round leader with a 6-under-par 65, came in third on the leaderboard with a two-round total of 140.

Rock Canyon falls in defensive showdown Jaguars Offense limited in 10-8 Castle View win

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon knew a win was important because a tough assignment looms this week for the Jaguars. However, Rock Canyon lost its second consecutive football game in a 10-8 defeat by Castle View in a game played Sept. 30 at Echo Park Automotive Stadium in Parker. The Jaguars play No. 1 Pomona this week. There weren’t a lot of offensive highlights from either team but the Sabercats snapped a three-game losing streak by carving out the victory in the game that turned into a defensive confrontation. The teams combined for 340 yards of total offense in the contest that featured only two combined offensive touchdowns, a safety, a field goal and one extra point conversion. “Credit to Castle View, but it was definitely a tough loss,” Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb said. Key moments David Gonzalez made a 28-yard field goal with 3:47 remaining in the game after the Sabercats drove 54 yards after falling behind 8-7 earlier in the fourth quarter. “Just put it in, that’s all I was thinking about,” Gonzalez said.

from schools they may not otherwise see during the season. “This is a fun meet and this is the first time Rock Canyon has come to the meet in the past few years,” Holte said. “I love the fact the meet is dedicated to breast cancer awareness and I like the fact Lakewood’s retired coach shares her story about her battle with breast cancer. It is just a happy meet and I love that there is so much pink here today.” During the meet, Rock Canyon gymnast Haley Littlefield took some time between events to talk about gymnastics. She said when she was little, she explored a number of other sports, including T-ball and soccer, but she decided gymnastics was for her. “I guess gymnastics stuck with me because when you master a new skill, it the best feeling in the world,” she said. “In gymnastics you flip through the air and you don’t do that in any other sport.” The Think Pink meet always is special because longtime Lakewood gymnastics coach Mary Beth Artemis is a breast cancer survivor. She spoke to open the meet and noted the meet is held each year to honor those who lost the battle with breast cancer and to celebrate those who survived their battle.
