Parker gun store robbed, firearms taken Suspects snatch three assault rifles, one shotgun from Pony Express BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
An unknown number of suspects broke a glass display window and made off with four long guns from Pony Express Firearms in Parker in the early morning of Oct. 30. Parker police officers responded to a glass-break alarm shortly after
midnight and discovered evidence of a burglary. The suspects broke the front windows and reached through metal bars to grab two AK-47 rifles, one AR-15 rifle and one shotgun. A detective from the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has been working with Parker detectives since Oct. 31 to assist in the investigation and to try to determine whether the incident is connected to a pair of smash-and-grab robberies at gun stores in Littleton and Jefferson County in June. “The similarities are there, but right now it’s too soon to tell if they are linked,” said Parker Police De-
partment Lt. Chris Peters. Detectives have been searching surveillance video from other stores in the area but have no descriptions of suspects or any vehicles involved at this time. Video from inside the store shows only breaking glass and arms reaching in to take the weapons. “Obviously that’s a concerning factor that where (the guns) were located made it rather easy for the suspects to take them, it was pretty low-tech,” Peters said. “Who knows what they want to use them for, but they are obviously in the hands of criminals.” Peters said store staff have since
moved firearms farther away from the front window. He added that members of the police department have visited other firearms stores in the jurisdiction to advise them on theft-deterrent ways to store their weapons and to give them the most current recommendations from the ATF. Store personnel at Pony Express Firearms were contacted on Oct. 31 but did not wish to comment. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Detective Gary Gerlach at 303-805-6535 or the Parker Police Department main number at 303-841-9800.

Ben Mann takes a break from catching up on the clerical side of his construction business outside Fika CoffeeHouse in Parker. Mann says the people he knows from Parker want the same things as the people he knew in Eaton, despite their socioeconomic differences. TOM SKELLEY Different but the same We live east of town but the mailing address is Parker. About two years ago, my wife Crista, my 4½-yearold son Levi and I moved here from Eaton, which is straight north of Greeley and straight west of Fort Collins, a nice little farm town. We found a house that wasn’t ever kept up, and since I do construction it was a perfect fit. So far, I’ve done the kitchen and bathroom and now I’m working on a master bedroom and master bathroom. Eaton was a 90 percent or greater farming community, and Parker is a working community or a bedroom community. Everybody in both areas is hardworking, family focused and, really, they’re identical. The clothes they wear to work are different and the types of work are different but everybody’s just trying to better themselves and their families. They’re completely different paths of life, but they’re still very similar. Building business In the last couple of months, my wife and I started a general contracting company, Colorado Design Build Contractors. I had wanted to do it for a long time, easily 20 years. It was just time. It allows my wife to alternate spending time with our son. We can knock off a little early and go to the zoo or something like that without asking permission from someone else. We can just balance our schedules. The hardest thing about having a new business is marketing. I’m not great about getting out there and selling myself. Fortunately, with all of
the construction going on in the area, it hasn’t been too much of a problem. Finding family time The trickiest part of working with your spouse, in my opinion, is figuring out how to turn the work part of my brain off. It’s difficult sometimes to say, “OK, now it’s just for us.” We try to make sure to set aside time for each other, we tell ourselves not to talk about work, the kid, politics and just go to dinner and have some nice adult conversation. For me, another hard thing to do is to just stop working on the house. I’m one of those people who likes to work around the house when I’m there, fix things or mowing the lawn or whatever. At least I’m getting a lot of stuff done on the house. My son’s like me — he can’t sit still — so we’re always wrestling or playing football or playing with the dog. We’re teaching him how to ride a bike, that’s been fun. The training wheels come off and on a lot. We’re excited for Christmas, for all of our family coming in. We try to plan a different activity every year for him. We did a night sledding thing and a horse-drawn carriage in Golden, and we did the carriage ride here last year. We’ve been waiting for him to be old enough to sit still for two hours, and I think he’s finally old enough that we can take him to the Colorado Ballet this year for “The Nutcracker.” We’re going to try, anyway.

Investigation concludes shooting was justified DA releases investigation results; detective’s condition updated BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Parker police officer who fatally shot a suspect who had earlier critically wounded a detective was justified in his use of deadly force, an investigation has determined. On Sept. 2, officer Ronnie Dorrell shot and killed Randall Rodick, who shot Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Detective Dan Brite in the chest before trying to elude officers in a recreational vehicle. Officials from the Parker Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office discussed the results of the investigation at an Oct. 27 news conference at police head-
quarters in Parker. Dorrell’s body camera footage, part of the police department’s nationally recognized body camera policy implemented in 2015, was also released to the public during the conference. The investigation by District Attorney George Brauchler’s office concluded that all officers who discharged their Dorrell weapons during the incident, including Dorrell, were justified in their use of deadly force. Brauchler said that while the facts of the case may have seemed clear to the public, his office thoroughly investigates every incident of Brite deadly force to ensure proper procedures were followed throughout. “The idea here is to give the public some sense of trust,” Brauchler said.
Report details events during shooting BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has released its final report on the Sept. 2 shooting that left suspect Randall Rodick dead and Detective Dan Brite of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office in a hospital fighting for his life. The report, released Oct. 27, describes details of the incident, beginning with the 911 call made by Rodick’s wife, who warned police that Rodick was “really, really drunk” and loading an AK-47 assault rifle. She also told dispatchers that her husband planned to leave the home on the outskirts of Parker and that he would kill anyone who tried to stop him. The dispatcher advised her to go to nearby Sierra Ridge Middle School, where she met with police. The school was placed on lockdown. Deputy Lee Nichols of the sheriff ’s office, who was stationed as school marshal at Sierra Ridge, was alerted to the situation and began observing Rodick through binoculars. Nichols saw Rodick carrying ammunition boxes and a rifle from his house to a detached garage. Rodick attempted to drive a recreational vehicle from his driveway onto North Dixon Drive, but was blocked by a police roadblock and returned toward the home. Officers were told not to allow Rodick to reenter the house. At that point Brite and Detective Joe Pollack and Cpl. Brian Rademacher of the sheriff ’s office arrived at the house, accompanied by Castle Rock Detective Mark Galvan. Rodick im-
mediately shot at the officers from his RV and they returned fire. Brite was hit and Rodick fled the scene, driving the RV toward a field behind his home as officers attempted to shoot out the tires. Rodick drove erratically through the field between his home, crashing into a median wall and coming to rest across from Parker Adventist Hospital on Crown Crest Boulevard. Two civilians, unaware of what led to the crash, approached the RV to offer aid to Rodick. One of the civilians, who has a concealed carry permit, noticed Rodick’s assault rifle, drew his own gun and backed away from the RV as Rodick fired in that direction. Parker officer Ronnie Dorrell then arrived, directing the civilians to safety and positioning himself behind the door of the civilian’s truck. Seconds later, he fired at Rodick, striking him in the head. Investigators found a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol, an AK-47 and a 75-round ammunition drum for the rifle inside the RV. Multiple other firearms and ammunition rounds were strewn through the field along the RV’s path. Rounds from the AK-47 were later found to have hit Parker Adventist Hospital, one of which passed through a window, several interior walls and a computer monitor before coming to rest in an examination room wall. Had he survived, Rodick would have faced several felony charges, including multiple counts of attempted murder, felony menacing and prohibited use of a weapon.
Brauchler described the steps taken by the Critical Response Team, an investigative unit made up of detectives from each of the responding police departments. Members of the team from the Parker department were excluded from the investigation to maintain objectivity. Brauchler and Parker Police Chief David King also praised officers who responded to and ended the threat Rodick posed to civilians in Rodick’s neighborhood and at Parker Adventist Hospital and Sierra Middle School. Brauchler singled out Dorrell, who he said made one “miraculous” shot to hit Rodick in the head. King said Dorrell has been with the department for almost two years and finished his rifle training just a month before the incident. Dorrell was on administrative leave from the day of the incident until the district attorney’s office cleared him to return to active duty on Sept. 21 and received counseling during his hiatus, as did other officers involved
in the incident. Steve Johnson, Douglas County chief deputy of law enforcement, provided an update on Brite, saying he remains at Craig Hospital for rehabilitation and that “we have high hopes” for his recovery. Brite spent weeks in the intensive care unit at Parker Adventist before being transported to Craig on Oct. 6. Johnson said Brite was “without a pulse” when he left the scene and was given a 1 percent chance of survival by doctors the night of the incident. “He is a warrior, through and through,” Johnson said. “Two words that aren’t in his vocabulary... those are ‘can’t’ and ‘won’t.’ “ Johnson said the case is essentially closed but he added that the sheriff ’s office will continue to work with federal and local officials to resolve questions such as how Rodick obtained the AK-47 assault rifle he used to shoot Brite and fired at other responding officers.
A glimpse of the gunman
DA’s report says Rodick battled addiction, discussed suicide BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The gunman who instigated a Sept. 2 shootout with several local law enforcement agencies and critically wounded Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Detective Dan Brite was addicted to alcohol and prescription painkillers and had talked about dying in recent years, according to the district attorney’s report on the incident. Details from interviews with Randall Rodick’s wife, sister and ex-wife, identified only by initials in the report, reveal that Rodick had long battled alcoholism and
more recently, addiction to prescription drugs. His wife stated that Rodick, 40, didn’t talk about death when he was sober, but when intoxicated he spoke of wanting to die. Hospital admissions to treat his alcoholism were unsuccessful and attempts to get him into treatment for prescription drug addiction were rebuffed. Rodick’s ex-wife told investigators that she believed he was suicidal for a long time but was “too much of a coward” to do it himself. She said Rodick came to her home the day before the shooting to give her old photographs of their children and $100. He told her that she “always had a piece of his heart” and that she was a good mother, and that he was depressed but was getting help for it. SEE SHOOTING, P24

District Attorney George Brauchler sits behind his desk in the 18th Judicial District office in Centennial on Oct. 24. Brauchler says he is considering running for governor in the future. TOM SKELLEY
Unopposed Brauchler poised for next term District attorney looks ahead to four more years and beyond BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler first ran for office in 2012, he endured 30 debates and candidate forums, and a fundraising battle. The Republican defeated Democrat Ethan Feldman 52 percent to 48 percent in the general election. While he isn’t facing any challengers in his bid for re-election this year, he’s been meeting with seniors and other groups of voters to let them know what he’s done in his first term. “I like to make our voters the best-educated in the state,” he said. “I don’t think a lot of people really understand what the district attorney does.” The Douglas County husband and father of four graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with bachelor’s degrees in political science and economics. He earned his law degree from the university in 1995. A member of the ROTC in college, Brauchler, 47, still serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard, a position he said allows him to stay close to his home in Parker and his job overseeing the D.A.’s office. The judicial district encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. One thing he is proud of is the influence he’s had on others in his office and their military service. “As of right now, 10 percent of our prosecutors are active duty guard or reserve members, and from every branch,” Brauchler said. “I don’t take any credit for putting that in their
heart, but I do take credit for creating an environment that made it so inviting and welcoming and supportive that they would say ‘I’m going to pursue this.’ I hope that that continues.” While his notoriety has come from prosecuting high-profile cases like that of Aurora movie theater murderer James Holmes, Brauchler prefers to talk about the work he’s done to restructure his office, such as slowing the rate its budget is increasing and growing the Douglas County branch’s staff to allow it to function more independently. Looking forward, Brauchler would like to see funding for special prosecutors for gangs and heroin, two problems he said are getting worse nationally and locally. “To effectively tackle those pieces, you have to have targeted law enforcement and prosecution,” he said, describing the position as someone who would be involved with a case from the arrest to the sentencing. A discussion on Brauchler’s future plans wouldn’t be complete without asking whether or not he plans to seek higher office. His name has been floated as a candidate for governor and U.S. senator in the past, and Brauchler isn’t shy about revisiting at least one of those possibilities, if it keeps him close to home. “I am probably an average father at best. I am not going to be any better spending more of my time in Washington, D.C., away from my family,” he said of his decision not to run for Senate. “The only other big office that is out there in the near future is the governor’s office,” Brauchler said. “I’m flattered to think people think I can do that job, and some people do. At the appropriate time, I will give it more serious consideration and see if there’s something I can do.”

Missing link to wildlife corridor secured Douglas County buys land for ‘wonderful wildlife habitat’ BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For nearly $2 million, Douglas County has acquired the missing link in an approximate 12-mile-long wildlife corridor that will allow animals — primarily elk and deer — to migrate from the Pike National Forest, southwest of Douglas County,
to conservation land south of Highlands Ranch. The new parcel completes a seamless route during animals’ seasonal migrations, said Cheryl Matthews, director of Open Space and Natural Resources in Douglas County. Other protected lands in the corridor include Roxborough State Park, Dupont North Space and the Elk Run Wildlife Easement, which sit east and southeast of the Sterling Ranch development in northwest Douglas County. Amanda Barker, executive director of the Colorado Coalition of Land
Trusts, said projects like this are “tremendously important.” “Especially across the metro region, we’ve got developing populations and stresses on our natural resources,” she said. Without the help of wildlife corridors, “a lot of the urban sprawl might overcome some of these iconic landscapes that we’ve come to expect and really treasure.” Projects like Douglas County’s help to strike that balance, Barker said. The property, called Plateau Ranch, is 206 acres of grassland between Sterling Ranch and the Red Mesa & Sharptail Open Space, which are
west of Highway 85. Douglas County has sought to purchase it since the late 1990s. It finally did so on Oct. 19 for $1,957,000, using the Open Space Sales and Use Tax. According to a Douglas County staff report, the land was previously advertised for $30,000 an acre — or $13 million. At that time, Plateau Ranch was part of a larger parcel. The property was eventually split. The 206 acres was then appraised at $9,500 an acre, the price at which it sold.

A look at Hurricane Matthew’s less-known victims Woman tells of Haiti’s need for aid after devastation
HOW YOU CAN HELP If you want to help provide safe drinking water and other resources to help relief efforts in Haiti, two groups Whitney Henwood recommends donating to are Believe in Haiti and Sawyer International Inc.
BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It’s been almost a month since Hurricane Matthew struck the southeastern coastline of the United States, killing 43 people in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia. Recovery efforts in the region are largely completed, and already national news coverage of the storm’s destruction of life and property is over. But as bad as the damage and loss of life has been in the U.S., Whitney Henwood wants Americans to know that people living just a hundred miles from Miami have it much worse, and almost nobody knows. “People need to know there is a media blockage on this,” Henwood said. “There is nothing standing there. Nothing.” As of Oct. 25, at least 546 deaths in Haiti were attributed to Matthew. At least 128 were listed as missing and 438 people were injured, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Almost 176,000 people were displaced from their homes and more than 806,000 have no reliable source of food. Henwood, a Parker resident, went to Haiti to provide emergency relief from Oct. 13-19. She makes regular trips to
Believe in Haiti will be working to build planting beds with good soil and healthy seeds with the goal of eventually replanting them in the western regions of the island hardest hit by the hurricane. Visit believehaiti. org to learn more and donate to the group.

But she took this trip on her own, working with United Nations medical personnel to give emergency medical services in Dame Marie, a city on Haiti’s western coast hit hard by the storm.

Prince hospital, a private facility that only accepts patients who bring their own food and pay for treatment. The Dame Marie area, Henwood said, is Haiti’s breadbasket. Its people rely on the region for food provided from fishing and agriculture. With the hurricane came a storm surge of 35 feet, destroying residents’ homes and access to food and clean water. Pools of standing salt water are everywhere, breeding disease and poisoning the soil.
“This definitely isn’t the time for a sightseeing trip,” Henwood said, adding that she was the only non-military worker allowed in many of the areas she flew into. The work entailed flying into the Dame Marie area on small planes, landing on goat trails and evacuating between 40 and 50 people a day to a community hospital littered with debris and dangling electrical wires.

hen I first moved to Colorado more than 20 years ago I was introduced to one of the most productive people I have ever had the privilege of working with and who I believe still has one of the strongest work ethics of anyone I have ever met or worked with in the past. Her name is JoAnn and at the time she was our office manager, finance manager, and basically manager and keeper of all things in the company. I was the vice president of sales at the time, so I had a lot of reasons to interact with JoAnn throughout each day. What always amazed me was that at the end of every day she was always the last person to leave, and always
the first person into the office the next morning. And no matter how much work we created or tasks that needed to get accomplished, it seemed like the more work that we gave to JoAnn, the more she thrived and produced. She never missed a deadline and always exceeded expectations with an excellent work product. Needless to say, I recruited her to come with me as I started my own company. And then there are the other people I have worked with over the years who just didn’t have that same work ethic. It seemed like they never had enough to do and they always seem to be behind in what they were doing. What I have found to be true is that those
people with the most to do are the people who get the most done. And that the people with the least amount to do can never seem to rise to the occasion and complete what needs to get done. Accomplishment is the watchword for those that do, where procrastination seems to be the belief system of those who are challenged with work ethic. We see this at work and we see it in our own families, don’t we? We may even see it within our circle of friends too. And we certainly see it at work amongst our associates. Is it just pure drive and ambition compared to complaSEE NORTON, P11

He is a scruffy-looking man, with a nasal-twang voice, and there was a time when what he wrote about seemed to bother a few people. He was called a protest singer. He said that Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme were protest singers, not him. The humor in that wasn’t lost on a kid who was becoming skeptical and suspicious of a lot of things, and a lot of people. That hasn’t changed. Irvine Welsh, the author of “Trainspotting,” heard about the award, and said, “An ill-conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies.” I’d come home from school at night, and get out “Desolation Row.” Put it on the turntable, and put out the lights. Eleven minutes or so later I’d wake and hear the sound of the needle lifting and returning to its cradle. The room would be as quiet as

lobby, it wasn’t hard to recognize the look I’ve seen plenty of times; the disbelief but also the burgeoning resignation. Nobody plans for this. “I never give up, I am strong, I can do this.” And then a statement I hear repeatedly: “I made her a promise,” Harry emotionally revealed. Harry and Susan met in college — he a star football player, she a straight A student. Their courtship was a whirlwind — it was love at first sight. They traveled to Asia, protested a war, learned to cook moo shu pork together and settled down with two children who came a little later on. He was always her rock. She was always his social guide. They’ve been married for 45 years. About one year ago, she started to have difficulty with names — then with remembering where they were going. A few times, he’d find her hairbrush in the freezer or her purse in with the bakeware. Keys were often disappearing. She’d believe anyone about anything — that was next. He made sure she couldn’t answer the phone so they wouldn’t be scammed. Then he had to lock the doors to prevent her from leaving the house with no place to go, or in her undies, or otherwise unsafe choices. He found ways to explain these things to himself — she’s tired, she’s had a bad day, it must be the new vitamins, etc. When their children visited, Susan seemed spot on - answering questions and conversing. Nothing seemed wrong. Each visit seemed pleasant. Was he imagining her strange moments? Most people with dementia are quite capable of hiding their declines in short doses and may be capable of maintaining social graces. It’s common for concerned family to ask questions and get reasonable and assuring
answers. “Did you eat dinner, Mom?” to which she may reply “Yes, I did. It was delicious.” She’s given an appropriate answer; however, it may not be accurate. Only when they spend a few days and nights with their loved one to experience the occasional strange comment or odd choices or changes in discernment or judgment do they begin to see the truth. Harry’s pride and his desire to fulfill his promise to Susan kept him from sharing the truth with anyone — even their children. For most spouse caregivers, daily living becomes increasingly stressful and isolating. Many struggle with the perception that getting help is a form of “giving up.” For this reason, many wait for a crisis before planning for or accepting help. Tragically, over 60 percent of spouse caregivers die before their partner with dementia does. Paradoxically, finding and accepting appropriate care can better honor the intent behind “the promise” to never move into “an old folks’ home.” By improving social connectivity and providing dignity in caregiving, both spouses may still actively grieve their losses, but they wouldn’t be doing so in isolation. Consider this quote from the book “The Best Friends Approach to Alzheimer’s Care”: “The promise to always keep mother at home might have been made with the best intentions and hopes, but inherent in that commitment is the idea that the family will do what is best for her. It may be a promise that should be broken, because keeping mother at home many not be best for her.” Birgit Moran Schafer is the community relations director at Willowbrook Place, an Anthem Community.

NORTON: Work ethic is valuable FROM PAGE 10
cency and laziness? Or is it a lack of direction and leadership? Could it also be the way the person sees themselves? Meaning that the person full of drive and ambition may have a healthy selfimage and see themselves performing at a higher level than most. Where someone with a low self-esteem may not be as focused on performing or functioning at that same level. Whether you are looking to be a person who gets things done, or you are looking to work with people who have a strong work ethic, look at the behaviors that are currently taking place in your own life or look at the behaviors of the people you are looking to hire or work with. Many times we want to manage results for ourselves and others, and that really cannot be done. We can only measure our results, not really manage them. But we can manage behaviors to drive productivity and accomplishment for ourselves and others. Here are just a few behaviors that
can turn inaction into productive action: Wake up earlier; create and work from an organized to-do list; prioritize tasks; set goals; set completion dates and time; schedule time to review progress and results; have an accountability partner; keep a journal of activities, thoughts, goals and progress; and work on a healthy self-image with a focus on mind, body, and spirit. Now how about you? Are you someone who gets things done regardless of how many things are on your plate? Or do you or someone you know need some help with ambition and drive? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can move from inaction to action to increase our productivity, it really will be a better than good week.

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

No tricks, just treats Parker’s downtown was awash in candy and costumes the afternoon of Oct. 31, as the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker hosted the annual Trick-or-Treat on Mainstreet Halloween celebration. Mainstreet was blocked off from Parker Road to east Victorian Drive. The plan was to give families a well-lit and warm place to gather and grab some goodies. Thanks to cooperation from several local businesses and warm, sunny weather, the plan succeeded. Entertainment for all ages included a maze of hay bales for children and a performance of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” by dancers in their 70s and 80s from the Parker Senior Center, who made it for the fifth year in a row. No child left empty-handed, as vendors and storefronts along the road passed out candy.

Counting ballots is way to give back Douglas County election headquarters relies on temporary workers BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For three staff members at Douglas County’s election headquarters in Castle Rock, working on the ballotprocessing team means they’re doing their part. This is Linda Allie’s first year working for Douglas County, although she’s been part of teams during elections in
other states since she was 18 years old. “It gives me a sense of giving back to my community,” she said. Most important to her, however, is seeing firsthand how the process works and if it’s efficient. “I’m impressed,” she said of Douglas County’s system. “I like the way it’s run.” She particularly likes how the temporary elections staff is divided into teams — all bipartisan — that divvy up the tasks involved in ballot processing ahead of the Nov. 8 election. Wally and Bridget Wesierski agree that the bipartisan teams make for an efficient and secure process. To them, it’s one of the many checks and bal-

Bridget is 82 and Wally is 83. They make up one bipartisan team — she’s a Republican and he’s a Democrat. “We are really very opposite,” Bridget said. “For 62 years,” Wally replied. The two volunteer to serve their community, they said. And, over the years, they’ve come to trust ballot intake and counting in Douglas County. “It’s a well-oiled machine,” Bridget said.

Cook WORLD’S BEST TURKEY from Allrecipes, a food-focused social network Ingredients: 12-pound whole turkey, neck and giblets removed 1/2 cup butter, cubed 2 apples, cored and halved 1 tablespoon garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 2/3 of a 750-milliliter bottle champagne Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse turkey and pat dry. Gently loosen turkey breast skin and insert pieces of butter between the skin and breast. Place apples inside the turkey’s cavity.

Check out different options for Turkey Day BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Whether it’s a slice of juicy white meat or a slab of greasy dark meat, the staple of a Thanksgiving meal is the turkey. How a turkey is prepped and cooked differs from household to household. Some swear by an old family recipe. Some look to food magazines for inspiration. And some prefer to let other people do the cooking. Whatever it may be, there are plenty of options for Turkey Day in metro Denver.
Attend a class
Uncorked Kitchen — an interactive dining experience in Centennial — has upcoming classes for those that need some inspiration or help in the kitchen. Owners Eric and Katie Robbins opened the kitchen, at 171 S. Chester St., just over a year ago. The kitchen hosts a variety of events, including cooking lessons, private parties and date nights. On Nov. 16, Uncorked presents a Taste of Uncorked - Thanksgiving Day Sides class. The hands-on lesson will leave participants with two classic dishes made from scratch, including a fresh green bean casserole and roasted sweet potatoes with a twist. And on Nov. 23, the kitchen is hosting a Take & Eat Pies class. “You leave with your sides and pies for Thanksgiving so all you have to do is cook your turkey,” Katie Robbins said. Although the classes don’t focus on prepping a turkey, chefs can answer any questions a turkey-cooker may have, Robbins said.
FIVE WAYS TO COOK A TURKEY BRAISED — The turkey is fried and then stewed for juicier meat. FRIED — The turkey is fried in oil or fat, which takes less time. GRILLED — The turkey is cooked on an outdoor grill, which in turn creates more room in the kitchen. SMOKED — The turkey is cooked in a smoker, a type of barbecuing or slow cooking that adds to the flavor. SPATCHCOCKED — The turkey is laid flat — backbone removed — for quicker cooking time and crispier skin. Source: Reviewed.com, part of the USA Today network One of those chefs is her husband, Eric. He recommends two types of turkey-prep methods. The first is spatchcocking — when the bird is flattened into one layer by removing the backbone — which a butcher can do. In turn, the meat is moist and the skin is crunchier. The reason Eric likes it is because he can get butter and herbs beneath the skin. “And everything cooks at the same time,” he said. The second style Eric prefers is a roulade turkey. The bird is butterflied, filled with ingredients such as aromatics and greens, rolled up and roasted. For the inside, Eric likes to use a bitter green, such as kale, and sweet potatoes or cranberries. “If you want a little crunch,” he said, “you can put in some nuts, like pecans.” The final product is a slice of meat with a kick of flavor in the center.

for?
WORLD’S SIMPLEST TURKEY from the Food Network, an American cable channel Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pull the neck and giblets out of the cavity; throw out the liver and save the rest of the giblets for gravy. Dry the turkey with paper towels, season inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill the turkey with chopped onions, carrots, apples and herbs, then place breast-side up in a roasting pan and brush with melted butter. Tent with foil and roast for 2 hours — for a 10- to 12-pound turkey; add an extra 15 minutes per pound for larger birds. Remove the foil, baste with more melted butter and crank the oven to 425 degrees. Roast for another hour or until the meat at the thigh registers 165 degrees. Let rest while you make the gravy.

TURKEY: News ways to enjoy classic dish FROM PAGE 14
Use your resources
One step into a supermarket and you’ll find everything you need, from the recipe to the ingredients. Several food-focused magazines, such as Saveur, Food & Wine and the Food Network, are sold in chain grocery stores. Some publications, like Bon Appetit Magazine, list ingredients and step-by-step directions. The easy-tofollow lingo makes cooking for a crowd a little less daunting. And if you’re in a time crunch, some supermarkets will prepare the entire Thanksgiving meal. Whole Foods Market has a selection of Thanksgiving menus online, including the Classic Thanksgiving Dinner Menu, the Unexpected Thanksgiving Menu, the Vegan Thanksgiving Menu and more. All menu items include ingredients, directions, number of servings and nutritional information. All you have to do is fill out a form online or in-store and voila — your Thanksgiving meal is taken care of.
Make a reservation
If you want to skip the dirty dishes, several restaurants in metro Denver offer Thanksgiving Day specials. Kachina Southwestern Grill, 10600 Westmin-
ster Blvd. in Westminster, is hosting an allyou-can-eat meal starting at 11 a.m. on Nov. 24. Recommendations are strongly recommended, said Andrea Keller, morning supervisor. “People come back every year for the food,” Keller said. The cost is $45 per adult and $15 per child. The restaurant serves a traditional turkey dinner with a southwestern flare. On the dessert menu is churros and spicy chocolate ice cream. Customers like the idea of unlimited food and being waited on, Keller said. “And it’s the atmosphere in the restaurant,” she said. “It’s just comforting.” Another option is Zink Kitchen + Bar. The Greenwood Village restaurant, at 7801 E Orchard Road, offers a Thanksgiving buffet from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 24. Reservations are required. The cost is $37.95 for adults, $16.95 for ages 7-15 and free for ages 6 and under. Zink will have a hot, cold and sweet bar equipped with traditional Thanksgiving plates, such as slow-roasted turkey breast with thyme country gravy, loaded mashed potatoes and house-made pumpkin pie. The buffet is an experience, the restaurant’s host, Ricky Pheng, said. The chefs are approachable, the service is quick and the food is comforting. “We will make you feel like you’re not just here to eat,” Pheng said. “You’re here to be a part of the celebration of Thanksgiving.”
Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means it’s time to start planning for turkey prep. The options are endless, from a traditional roast turkey to a grilled turkey on top of a beer can. ALEX DEWIND

3 sweet onions, peeled and cut into wedges 5 apples, cored and cut into wedges 2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste 750-milliliter bottle dry white wine Directions: Preheat a gas grill for low heat. Rub some of the butter all over the turkey, inside and out, then rub with chicken base. Cut remaining butter into cubes and toss with onions, apples and garlic in a large bowl. Stuff the bird with this mixture and place in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Fold the turkey skin around the neck area to cover the hole. Turn the turkey over and pour wine into the opening at the other end until the turkey is full. Set the turkey breast side up. Place the roasting pan on the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you have a pop-up timer or heat-safe meat thermometer, insert it into the turkey breast. Close the lid. Roast until the temperature in the breast reads 170 degrees and the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees, about 4 hours depending on the temperature. When the temperature is getting close, remove the aluminum foil covering the turkey and allow it to brown during the final minutes of cooking. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. Source: allrecipes.com

Soaring Hawk students get outdoor education Kindergartners had chance to rock-climb, kayak at school BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Kindergarten students at Soaring Hawk Elementary School in Castle Rock spent the day climbing, kayaking and learning about the outdoors Oct. 25. Avid 4 Adventure, a Boulder company that provides outdoor education experiences for kids, spent the week working and playing with Soaring Hawk Students. Each day a different grade level had the opportunity to mountain bike, rock climb, kayak and learn about the outdoors. Kayaks floated along in a large inflatable pool outside the school and a portable climbing wall rose from the back of a truck. A mountain bike course was set up in the large grassy area by the school playground. Many of the students were not yet proficient on two wheels, so instead, students went on nature hikes around the campus. One student, Cloe, said the program “makes her want to do outside stuff.” Another student, Colin, said, “It’s fun being outside because it makes us stay healthy.” “We really push sustainable learn-

When you put kids in an outdoor environment where they have to take risks in order to accomplish a goal, it teaches those things in a fun way.” Neville said Douglas County is “ripe for outdoor recreation” and that he hopes his students will continue to explore and learn from being outdoors.
Soaring Hawk students race to be the first on the rock-climbing wall Oct. 24.

Organization helps people with autism ‘be heard’ Nonprofit hosts voter registration drive for people with disabilities BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Like many people with autism, Owen Xiao doesn’t say much. But he still has a voice, and Lauren Thome wants to make sure it’s heard on Election Day. Xiao registered to vote for the first time at a registration drive Thome organized for people with disabilities on Oct. 25. He said it felt “pretty good.” The drive, held at the Developmental Pathways office space on Inverness Drive in northern Douglas County, ran from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., enlisting three volunteers per three-hour shift. The goal was to give disabled citizens, a group often left out of the political conversation, the chance to speak up. “They’re stakeholders, just like everyone else,” she said. “They should be heard.” In 2010, the Englewood resident started Garden Inc., a nonprofit that provides after-school activities, employment programs and other integration services for between 100 and 150 clients a week, getting clients out of their home and into their neighborhoods.
Caitlin Schall helps Owen Xiao navigate the Secretary of State’s online voter registration site on Oct. 25 at a disabled voter registration drive. Xiao will vote for the first time in this election. PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY The next place she wants to take people with intellectual disabilities is the ballot box. A 2013 study from Lisa Schur, a pro-
fessor at the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations, found that people with disabilities vote at a lower rate than other segments of the population. Approximately 3 million eligible disabled citizens didn’t participate in the 2012 election. Reasons for the low turnout range from poor accessibility for those with physical impairments to attitudes of poll workers who question the eligibility of a voter who arrives with someone to assist them in the ballot booth. While Thome said she isn’t anticipating any problems on Election Day, Nov. 8, she is reaching out to county election officials and attorneys in the field to ensure things go smoothly when she and her volunteers get out the vote. “No one can be denied their vote because the people around them are unsure of their intellectual capabilities,” she said. “We’re hoping we don’t have any issues but if we do we’re happy to go out and advocate for them.” Anyone able to “direct” their vote, by speaking, signing or pointing at a ballot is legally able to vote, and Thome said Garden’s volunteers are professionally trained to modify information to help their clients understand their choices. The staff also calls clients to ensures they’ve received their ballots, arrange transportation to polling places and in some cases, accompany clients into the voting booth to help them cast their vote. What they don’t do is offer suggestions or opinions. Caitlyn Schall, the Garden employee who helped Xiao complete his registration, said the many ballot initiatives and amendments on this year’s ballot make her services especially necessary. “It’s a really daunting process to begin with,” she said. “It was hard enough for my boyfriend — it took him

It may not seem like a lot, but for Thome, and those five newly registered voters, the drive was a success. “We were able to register five individuals who wouldn’t have otherwise been given the opportunity” to vote, she said. “We’ll count it as a win.” Thome said Garden will host registration drives in future elections, and they’re still available to help anyone they didn’t see at the drive vote this year. “We’re working to build a conversation in the community, and in two years we’ll have that conversation again,” she said. “We’ve started something that will only get bigger and better.”

Brewery wins big at national festival Rockyard Brewing Co. earns 69th medal at Great American Beer Festival BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A Castle Rock brewery has brought home its 69th medal in 15 years, this time earning a Gold Award at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Rockyard Brewing Co.’s Warning Sign won the festival’s German-Style Doppelbock/Eisbock category in October. Rockyard, at 880 Castleton Road, opened in 1999 under the ownership of four Colorado-born siblings. Among its awards are those won at national and international competi-
tions, such as the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. Warning Sign is a full-bodied beer for those who like a malty bock with notes of caramel and prune. The typical eisbock has about 10 percent alcohol by volume, Rockyard brewmaster Jim Stinson said. “Ours ended up at 12,” he said. “It’s an amazingly smooth beer for being so big and so high in alcohol.” The beer itself is a collaborative effort. First created by Jason Yester with Trinity Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs, it is brewed at a different location each year. Rockyard has brewed it in 2007 and 2016. At each occasion, members of the other breweries that participate in the tradition help the host brewery with the process. Those breweries, from throughout southern Colorado, include: Bristol Brewing, 105 West Brewing, Rock Bottom Brewery,

Pagosa Brewing Co., Brewery Rickoli, Trinity Brewing, Red Leg Brewing and C.B. & Potts. Winning the award is big for Rockyard’s crew, Stinson said. At any stage in the brewing process, which takes a team of several people, even the smallest mistake or deviation could have prevented them from winning. “It’s really an attribution to their dedication and their level of work,” he said. And, it’s not bad for sales. While they’d usually sell one to two bottles a week, Stinson said, they’ve sold more than a dozen cases of Warning Sign since winning gold. Mike Stefanski has been a patron of Rockyard American Grill, the brewery’s restaurant, for years. He’s come to expect quality from products made at the brewery, he said. And while he’s not normally a fan of sweet
beers, Warning Sign is an exception. “He just did a fantastic job with a style that’s not common,” Stefanski said of Stinson. When he goes to describe the eisbock, Stefanski warns you, he’s about to get “beer geeky.” It’s approachable, he said, unlike most eisbocks. Warning Sign is sweet but not syrupy, it’s smooth and has a rich, amber color. And it has “a nice alcohol smell.” “There’s a good reason he won a gold medal with this beer,” Stefanski said. The beer is available at Rockyard American Grill, which is next to the brewery. It can also be purchased at liquor stores throughout the Front Range, Stinson said. A portion of the beer’s proceeds go to preserve Colorado Open Spaces. For more information, visit www. rockyard.com.

‘Luscious Watercolors’ brings light to Littleton Town Hall Arts Center hosts artworks by three painters BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Luscious Watercolors” will brighten Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery in Littleton as our days grow shorter. It will feature three painters, opening Nov. 8 and closing on Jan. 10. A Meet-the-Artists reception is planned for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18. Participating artists are Rosanne Sterne (Littleton), Anita Winter (Centennial) and Patricia Barr Clarke (Highlands Ranch) — all members of the Colorado Watercolor Society, with distinctive individual styles. Longtime Littleton resident Sterne, who exhibits her work at Willow, an Artisan’s Market in Littleton and the Niza Knoll Gallery in Denver, will include landscapes from Colorado, New Mexico and Vermont, she wrote. Sterne is also a musician (first flute in the Littleton Symphony) and poet. She said her paintings “are expressions of life and optimism, windows into human experience and explorations of color.” Patricia Barr Clarke and her husband moved to Highlands Ranch recently after living in Denver’s Park Hill for 37 years. She is a longtime plein air painter, a member of the Denver Art Students League and loves to travel. She recently spent 10 days in Willemstad, Curacao, in the Caribbean,
“Quiet Sea” by Anita Winter is included in the “Luscious Watercolors” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton. where she exhibited and conducted workshops. She is represented by the Santa Fe Fine Art Brokerage in New Mexico and has had work included in Littleton’s annual Own an Original show. (The 2016 OAO opens in mid-November.) Anita Winter participated in the recent Jefferson County “In Plein Sight” event, held in Jeffco’s beautiful park system, as well as a similar 2016 event hosted by the Douglas County Land Conservancy. She is
represented by Willow, an Artisan’s Market in Littleton and The Framed Image in Denver. She teaches at Judy Patti’s popular Art Studio on South Broadway in Littleton and elsewhere. She has been interested in art since childhood, growing up in Michigan and Mexico City. She paints in watercolor and more recently in oils and says her “goal is to capture a moment in time.” She paints “to celebrate, explore and give thanks …”
Hepatitis C-infected kidneys eyed for use in transplants BY LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
A bold experiment is giving some patients a chance at cutting years off their wait for a kidney transplant if they agree to a drastic-sounding option — getting an organ almost sure to infect them with hepatitis C. Betting on new medications that promise to cure hepatitis C, two leading transplant centers aim to use organs that today go to waste, a bid to put a dent in the nation’s long transplant waiting list. Pilot studies are underway at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University to test transplanting kidneys from deceased donors with hepatitis C into recipients who don’t already have that virus. If the groundbreaking research eventually pans out, hundreds more kidneys — and maybe some hearts and lungs, too — could be transplanted every year. “We always dreaded hepatitis C,” said Dr. Peter Reese, a Penn kidney specialist who is helping lead the research. “But now hepatitis C is just a
different disease,” enough to consider what he calls the trade-off of getting a new kidney years faster but one that comes with a hopefully treatable infection. It’s a trade-off prompted by an organ shortage. More than 99,000 people are on the national kidney waiting list, but only about 17,000 people a year get a transplant and 4 percent a year die waiting, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). “If we had enough organs, we wouldn’t do this,” said Dr. Niraj Desai, who is leading the Hopkins study. But, Desai said, “most patients are pretty open to the idea once they hear what the alternatives are.” Doctors had told 66-year-old Irma Hendricks of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, to expect at least a five-year wait for a kidney transplant. Dialysis three times a week was keeping her alive, but leaving her with no energy for even routine activities. “I call it the zombie syndrome,” she said. She jumped at the chance to enroll in Penn’s study, even though doctors made clear they hoped for but couldn’t
guarantee a hepatitis cure. “My son said, `Mom, this is a nobrainer. Just do it,’” Hendricks said. She swallowed an anti-hepatitis pill daily for three months, in addition to the usual post-transplant medications. Testing showed the drugs rapidly cleared hepatitis C out of her bloodstream. With her new kidney functioning well, she now has enough energy to play with her toddler grandson. “This is giving people in my situation new hope,” Hendricks said.
Specialists weigh research Kidney transplant specialists are closely watching the research. “It makes sense to me,” said Dr. Matthew Cooper, a transplant surgeon at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital who is not involved in the research. He cautioned that the studies should use only kidneys that are young and otherwise high-quality, and that patients must understand the risks. SEE KIDNEY, P25

Calascione is also taking three AP classes this year. “Thomas is a kind, caring and dedicated student who always does the right thing,” one of his teachers wrote. “He is a true role model in class, always attentive and engaged.” Calascione is applying to local and out-of-state colleges to pursue a degree in either aerospace or mechanical engineering.
HAITI: Relief requested FROM PAGE 9
“The land isn’t going to be able to be planted for years,” Henwood said. “This is going to be an intense area of poverty, starvation and death for years to come.” According to accounts from Henwood and the U.N., the lack of food, water, shelter and medical care is driving Haitians from rural areas to towns and cities, areas that are already too densely popu-
lated and too strapped for resources to help. As she prepared to return to Haiti on Oct. 23, Henwood stressed that the crisis in Haiti won’t improve unless people in the U.S. get involved. “People need to know there is intense, long-term suffering down there,” she said. “They need to open their eyes, they need to open their hearts, and most importantly they need to open their wallets.”

SHOOTING: Gunman wanted to die FROM PAGE 5
Four or five years before the incident, Rodick told his sister he wanted to die but he wanted someone else to kill him because the Bible considers suicide a sin. He added that he didn’t think it was suicide to force police to kill him, though she tried to convince him otherwise. Minutes before the Sept. 2 incident began, Rodick’s wife called 911 to tell
police he was “going crazy,” though she didn’t believe he was hallucinating. She said he was packing clothes and loading guns, and he warned her not to call police or he would “take them out.” The dispatcher instructed her to leave the home, and she returned to the inside of the house to retrieve her keys and dog. As she fled the house, she said she heard Rodick screaming her name.

KIDNEY: Pilot studies underway on experimental organ transplant program FROM PAGE 23
“They need to know you place their safety as the highest priority,” Cooper said. “But at the same time, recognize that we have these obstacles. We don’t want people to die on dialysis, and there are not enough organs available for everybody.” Hepatitis C is a simmering infection that, if untreated, over two to three ,decades can quietly destroy someone’s liver. At least 2.7 million people in the United States have chronic hepatitis C. Until a few years ago, it was treatable only by medications with grueling Yside effects and poor cure rates. Now, breakthrough drugs promise to cure 95
percent of hepatitis C cases with fewer side effects — for people who can afford them. Treatment costs tens of thousands of dollars. Normally, hepatitis C-infected organs are transplanted only into patients who already have hepatitis C themselves, so as not to further spread the virus. Giving hepatitis C-positive organs to hepatitis C-negative recipients is allowed if the patient agrees, but it’s rare, said Dr. David Klassen, UNOS’ chief medical officer. UNOS statistics show a few dozen such transplants, mostly kidneys, last year, presumably when doctors feared their patients wouldn’t survive the wait for a healthier organ. More often, hospitals discard hepatitis C-infected organs.
Reese and fellow Penn physician Dr. David Goldberg found only 37 percent of hepatitis C-positive kidney donations between 2005 and 2014 were transplanted. The discards could have helped more than 4,000 patients during that time period, they reported in the New England Journal of Medicine last year. The opioid epidemic is prompting a jump in donations from people who died of drug overdoses — typically young organs that, absent an infection risk, would be sought after. The small Penn and Hopkins trials are a first step. Much larger studies are needed to prove whether more routine use of these organs in immunesuppressed transplant recipients really works.
Cost also is a question. Merck & Co. is helping to fund the pilot trials, donating its medication Zepatier, which costs $54,000 for a round of treatment. That’s still cheaper than a lifetime of a dialysis, which costs about $75,000 a year, UNOS’ Klassen noted. While the studies began with kidneys because of their demand, “I don’t think there’s any reason, if it proves safe and effective in kidneys, that we wouldn’t want to try it in other organs,” Penn’s Goldberg noted. Even if the hepatitis C-infected organs prove useful, the nation still is “desperate for more donors,” cautioned Hopkins’ Desai. “It’s a practical solution to help some of the people. It won’t solve the problem.”

WILDLIFE: Parcel completes route for animals’ seasonal migrations FROM PAGE 8
Under the county’s ownership, a conservation easement will keep the land protected from development. It will also be open for public use, Matthews said, for activities such as hiking or hunting. The land was an important purchase, she said. A clearly defined corridor helps prevent animals from wandering into private property or backyards. Other points in the passage allow them to move beneath roads like Highway 85. There, Matthews said, they might otherwise
cross over the road, causing harm to themselves and drivers. For approximately 30 years, investment groups Plateau Ranch No. One, LLC and Aberfeldy Joint Venture, LLC, comprised of four individuals, owned Plateau Ranch. The property includes grassland and a pond but no other improvements, said Jim Hess, managing partner for the Plateau Ranch group. “There had been a lot of interest over the years from developers,” he said. Had a deal not been struck with the county, the land likely could
have gone to 35-acre housing developments. “It’s on a high hill so the views from that property would have been incredible,” Matthews said. But developing the land into housing would dramatically alter the wildlife corridor, she said. Potential property owners could have built numerous structures or worked livestock on the acreages, obstructing the flow of migration. “As development has encroached on them,” she said, “their passages have gotten narrower and narrower.”
The shrinking open space hinders animals’ movement during colder months of the year. As winter arrives, Matthews said, they migrate to lower terrain near Plum Creek in Douglas County or the Highlands Ranch Backcountry. Despite being a choice piece for development, Hess said, the wildlife may need it more. Its quiet location makes them feel safe, he said, creating a refuge. Today, he’s glad it’s in the county’s possession. “It was objectively the best use of the ground,” Hess said. “The ground itself is wonderful wildlife habitat.”

Mikey Thomas| football, track and basketball athlete Ponderosa High School What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is “Varsity Blues” because it’s really funny and is all about high school football. Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? Drew Brees is my favorite athlete because he proves that size doesn’t matter in football and if you are skilled enough you can be successful. Why do you participate in sports? I play sports because it gives me an opportunity to compete against someone and win. They also give me a sense of team and family. What is your favorite subject in school? My favorite subject is science because it is hands-on and interactive. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? Before we leave for the stadium, I put all of my lower pads on and once we get to the stadium I always put my left shoe on first in the same spot in the locker room every time. What is your favorite book? My favorite book is “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald because I enjoy how it describes the life of people during the Roaring Twenties.

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

Learning about the dangers of knee injuries For female athletes, an anterior cruciate ligament injury can mean months on sidelines BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Ponderosa junior Maddie Gabel has a vivid memory of last season’s state playoff soccer game in which she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. “I slid and blocked a shot, and once I made contact (with the ground), that’s when I heard it pop,” she said of the sound coming from her knee. “It took 10 months total for a full recovery.” Gabel was far from alone in her plight on the sidelines. Numerous studies have concluded that girls and women are more susceptible to ACL injuries than boys and men, with most reports stating female athletes are four to eight times more likely to tear the knee ligament. “There are more ACL injuries in women ... Younger women are more at risk, usually the adolescents, teenagers and up to the early 20s, in general,” said Dr. Michele Wolcott, an associate professor in the University of Colorado Department of Orthopedics. In the Douglas County School District over the past five years, 42 ACL
injuries in girls have been reported. Katherine West, head trainer for Jefferson County Public Schools, said there were 69 knee injuries among girls in Jeffco in the past six years, and 27 were ACL injuries. Why does it happen? Sports like soccer, basketball and volleyball that require one-step deceleration, changing direction and jumping put the most strain on athletes’ ACLs, those of girls and women in particular, experts say. But why are female athletes more susceptible to the injury? “Obviously, there is a difference between females and males,” said Dr. Mitchell Seemann, team physician for Regis University and D’Evelyn High School. “There have been a couple conferences over the past few years that have come together to try to figure out why (there are more ACL injuries among women). The most common reason for it is what we call neuromuscular factors.” One factor includes less hamstring strength in female athletes than in their male counterparts, according to certified chiropractic sports physician Dr. Steven Horwitz, writing on the website MomsTeam, a resource for parents of athletes. Stronger hamstrings can help protect against ACL injuries, he said. SEE KNEE, P30
What is an ACL injury? According to mayoclinic.org, an “ACL injury is the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament — one of the major ligaments in your knee. ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops, jumping or changes in direction — such as basketball, soccer, football, tennis, downhill skiing, volleyball and gymnastics. “Many people hear or feel a ‘pop’ in the knee when an ACL injury occurs. Your knee may swell, feel unstable and become
too painful to bear weight. Depending on the severity of your ACL injury, treatment may include rest and rehabilitation exercises to help you regain strength and stability or surgery to replace the torn ligament followed by rehabilitation.” A ligament, according to, merriam-webster.com, is “a tough piece of tissue in your body that holds bones together or keeps an organ in place.”

KNEE: Injuries can cut careers short for female athletes FROM PAGE 29
Other factors, experts say, include ligaments that tend to have more give, a smaller ACL and tendency toward poor, flat-footed landings after jumping, which puts the knee in a positon to buckle and stress the ACL. “We can address some factors,” Wolcott said. “We can’t change their skeleton or size, so we work on (what) we can, which is how you jump, land and control your landings. “There are all sorts of jumps, landing drills, running around cones and doing some agility (drills), doing the cutting and pivoting things when you are not in a game situation so you are controlled and focused on doing it correctly.” Trying to prevent injuries Seemann and West attempted to establish a Jeffco districtwide ACLinjury prevention plan called the Cincinnati Sportsmetrics Program a few years ago. “We did have to abandon it, and we learned something,” Seemann said. “One, coaches don’t want to take 15 or 20 minutes out of their practice to do this kind of stuff. The other factor is girls this age tend not to think this is going to happen to them. “The major thing is it had to be done in a setting where you have

perhaps one trainer and 30 kids on a soccer team. The key to the training is you have to make sure they are doing the training properly.” Some area coaches are trying to take proactive measures. Horizon’s softball team lost starting pitcher Kayla Kascak, who said she was hurt during a routine outfield drill in late August. Hawks softball coach Gary Mares is aware of the importance of hamstring training. He has his players do a variety of exercises to

strengthen hamstrings and other lower-body muscles. “It is very important to train both the front quads and back hamstrings while training the leg muscles,” he said. Castle View’s new girls soccer coach, Nichol Rodriguez, played college soccer for Notre Dame and the Puerto Rican national team and seven years in the Women’s Premier Soccer League. “We will be implementing ACL prevention once a week during the season at the end of practices,” Rodriguez said of what’s ahead this spring. “Also, all of the lifting that is done in the offseason seeks to strengthen all of the muscles and ligaments around the knee for a preventive measure.” Former University of Utah and National Basketball Association standout Keith Van Horn is executive director of the Premier Basketball Club, which has locations in Evergreen, Parker and Grand Junction. He said the club puts a strong focus on ACL-prevention techniques. “The teams that I coach at the beginning of every practice, with the girls, we implement a few warmup drills that incorporate the proper landing technique, knee positioning, hip strengthening and a number of different things in areas that tend to cause ACL injuries. We started working with
an agility group that comes in and works with all of our kids.” Arapahoe girls basketball coach Jerry Knafelc has had one athlete, a junior varsity player, go down with an ACL injury in the past six seasons. He said training in the summer, fall and during the season has helped mitigate the ACL injuries. Knafelc said the workouts include movement training, bleacher jumps, lifts with an emphasis on getting the glutes to activate, making sure the knees don’t come in when jumping or landing, and having girls look in the mirror to make sure their posture is correct. “We put a lot of time into it,” he said. “That’s the only way it can happen … You have to have somebody with them to make sure they are doing it correctly.” No such thing as prevention? Gabel, the Ponderosa soccer player, said she’s not sure how much the drills and exercises help to prevent injuries like the one she sustained. “Before I got hurt, I had done those exercises and after I got hurt, I have done a lot of them,” Gabel said. “As a preventive measure, I don’t really think it helps, but it’s always good to strengthen your muscles and try to do anything you can. “What it comes down to, if it’s going to tear, it’s going to tear.”

Key moments Pomona scored a touchdown before the Panthers even ran a play from scrimmage on a 55-yard pass interception on Chaparral’s first possession, but the Wolverines tied the game at 7 on its second possession. Chaparral ran the ball well at times but never scored again as the Panthers piled on the points.
Taden Blaise scrambled out of trouble and hit Peyton Ross on a 72-yard touchdown pass for the Wolverines’ lone touchdown. The Wolverines managed just 222 yards. They said it “We ran the ball well, we just got into situations where we couldn’t continue to run the ball,” Dobbs said. “We just have to regroup. You can’t spot a No. 1 team like that seven points right off the get-go. We came back, threw a fade and it’s 7-7. It’s not a 33-point spread game. I’m proud of my coaches and players. We will regroup. We’ll move on. “
Chaparral was never able to stall Pomona’s spree of 33 unanswered points. “It got into our heads,” Ross said. “We were ready. Next week is a new week and we’re going to go and get better at what we have to do and beat Hinkley and then we have the playoffs after that.” Going forward Chaparral wraps up the Mount Evans season on Nov. 4 against Aurora Hinkley at Aurora Public Schools Stadium, while Pomona hosts Cherokee Trail the same evening at the North Area Athletic complex.
