ZOMBIES ENLIVEN THE WEEKEND
LITTLETON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
D istrict looks at graduation guidelines Class of 2021 will be first to graduate under new rules, which allow for more flexibility By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Zombies in Littleton tend to be Broncos fans. October 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.

Zombies keep up with the latest trends, like Pokemon Go.
New graduation requirements are coming to Colorado high schools, and Littleton Public Schools is working to stay ahead of the state. The new guidelines will begin next school year with ninth-graders who will graduate in 2021 and will provide students with more options to fulfill English, math, science and social science requirements. The Colorado Department of Education began developing new graduation guidelines after a 2007 state Legislature bill mandated it, and established them last year. Now, local jurisdictions must adopt requirement that meet or exceed state guidelines. The new state guidelines give districts leeway to allow students to demonstrate math and English competency in different ways, such as by taking tests. LPS Superintendent Brian Ewert said the district plans to have its new policy in place well before the end of this school year in order to give incoming ninth-graders and their parents maximum time to prepare. He hopes that the LPS Board of Education will adopt the new guidelines by the end of October. According to the CDE, about 75 percent of jobs in the state will require some form of post-secondary education or training by 2020, and 40 percent of students enter college unprepared for their classes. While a traditional approach to moving on to higher education after graduation has driven much of high school class choices, the guidelines the board of education is considering gives weight to Graduation continues on Page 18

FACES AMONG US

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
MARSHA JONES Small business owner About me I own Woodlawn Floral on Littleton Boulevard. I bought the shop eight years ago but I’ve worked within the floral industry forever. I was last at an event company that did the biggest events in Denver and I managed the floral shop at the Adams Mark Hotel. We’ve lived here for 25 or 30 years. We brought our kids up here, they all graduated from Heritage High School. I like how close everything is.
Growing up My dad worked for Boeing and we moved every few years. We were in Nebraska, where the Minuteman missile silos are. Denver was close, so we just hopped over here. Flowers are a passion Now it’s a passion. For 20 years it wasn’t a passion, it was a way to make a living. But now I enjoy it — it’s an art form. You take everything you’ve learned throughout the years and put it all in a package. Away from work I haven’t done anything for eight years. I did a lot of stuff for our church and for different community organizations, but not anymore, because I’m so busy with the shop. I go to Living Way Fellowship, it used to be just two blocks away, but they bought land out in Highlands Ranch.

Since 1982, libraries have used Banned Books Week as an awareness campaign to alert the public to the realities of censorship. It was started in response to a surge in the number of books being challenged or removed from schools and public libraries. The American Library Association says more than 11,000 books have been challenged since the program began. From Sept. 25-Oct. 1 at Bemis Library in Littleton, readers could spin a wheel to select a category of books, authors or movies based on books, then identify a banned book from artwork to win a prize. Claire Mattoon, library programming assistant for adult services said her favorite banned or challenged book is Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” which in itself is a warning about the dangers of censorship. “For sheer irony,” Mattoon gave as the reason for the choice. “Fahrenheit 451” has been challenged, ostensibly, for language and depictions of alcohol and tobacco use.
Books listed include: “T.E. Lawrence” by Daniel Wolfe “T.E. Lawrence” tells the story of British army officer Thomas Edward Lawrence, or Lawrence of Arabia. The book was challenged in Anaheim Union High School District in California, ostensibly because it was too difficult for middle-schoolers and could cause harassment against those seen with it. However, the American Civil Liberties Union said that was a pretext for viewpoint-based censorship due to homosexual themes. “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins Popular young adult trilogy “The Hunger Games” has been one of the mostchallenged books over the last five years. It has been cited as being too violent and containing offensive language and sexual content. “Tarzan” by Edgar Rice Burroughs “Tarzan” has been challenged in schools for a depiction of the title character living with a woman, Jane, out of wedlock, as well as for promoting the theory of evolution.
NEWS IN A HURRY Calendar photos chosen Pictures by 13 photographers whose work will be featured in the 2017 Littleton Calendar have been chosen. The cover photo is by Yoshiko Wooten, and 12 others will represent each month. The Littleton Fine Arts Board selected the winners from 190 submissions. The calendar will be available the first week of December at all city buildings as well as from sponsors. Brews and Views raises $1,000 for Humane Society $1,000 was raised for the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley through the proceeds of designated driver tickets to the Brews and Views Beer Festival last month.
The second annual festival was held at Hudson Gardens & Event Center and featured beer from 40 Colorado breweries and saw nearly 2,000 attendees. Adoptable dogs from the Humane Society were at the event as well.
Littleton Harvest Festival coming to museum Littleton’s annual Harvest Festival takes place on Oct. 8. at the Littleton Museum’s 1860s farm. Attendees are invited to pick out their Halloween pumpkins and enjoy hayrides and other activities. There is no cost to attend but some activities require tickets that can be purchased by cash or check the day of the event. The festival will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The museum is at 6028 S. Gallup St.

Firefighter buys same truck he sat in as a child from 1970 to 2000, was used to respond to aircraft crashes at Centennial Airport. At the time, Hurst’s father-in-law, Wayne Austgen, was the public information officer for Castlewood Fire Department. He recalls stories of that very same fire truck, including one occasion in the early 1990s when it was hit by a plane. “There was a firefighter in the cab,” Hurst said. “He came out untouched.” DeBoer, who joined the Castlewood Fire Department in 1991, remembers driving the truck to and from the airport. After Hurst bought the truck, DeBoer helped him replicate the Castlewood Fire Department lettering that had worn over the years. He has a graphic design business on the side. “We tried to make it look just like it did back in the day,” DeBoer said. The truck isn’t large and bulky like modern day fire engines. It has a cab and a bed. Its color is a faded red with chips and marks acquired more than 40 years ago. Castlewood Fire Department is printed on the side in vintage yellow lettering. Its technology is old school — the dashboard is analog and a shifter sits on the floor. Hanging on the window are two weathered firefighter hats. “It’s a time capsule of a truck,” Hurst said. Hurst plans to feature the truck in the Littleton Fire Muster, held annually during the summer, as well as local events and parades. He describes himself a fire rescue historian and plans to use the truck to preserve memories. “There’s a lot of character to it,” he said. “All the scratches and dings have their own stories.”
Vehicle is ‘time capsule’ for South Metro Fire Rescue By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity Eric Hurst remembers his first time sitting in a particular red firetruck. He was 5 or 6 years old and he was infatuated. Today, that very same truck is parked in his garage. “It’s amazing,” Hurst, now 32, said. “I can’t believe I found it.” Hurst, public information officer for South Metro Fire Rescue and operations manager of the 9-1-1 dispatch call center, was born and raised in south metro Denver. He grew up attending the Littleton Fire Muster and parade every year, and he frequented the Castlewood Fire Department — which is now South Metro Fire Rescue. His grandpa knew the fire chief and his father took him for visits often. “I don’t think they quite anticipated that I would visit all the time,” Hurst said. The Littleton resident remembers being immediately drawn to that one red firetruck. More than two decades later, he saw the truck for sale online on a YouTube channel called The Fast Lane Truck and jumped at the opportunity, for which he paid $13,000. The truck now serves as a trip down memory lane for Hurst and his fellow firefighters, such as Lt. Mike DeBoer, who joined the Castlewood Fire Department in 1991. “It’s become a symbol of where we came from,” Hurst said. “It contributes to the firefighters who made us who we are today.” The truck, which was in service
Eric Hurst, 32, stands next to the same fire truck he sat in as a 5- or 6-year-old. “I was always infatuated with the fire department growing up,” said Hurst. He stumbled upon a for sale video for the truck a few weeks ago, and he bought it. Photo by Alex DeWind

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 at 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
INDIA’S BEST
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 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.”
WHO’S INVOLVED? Other men involved in the campaign include Ben Higgins, ABC TV’s former Bachelor; Joe Woods, defensive backs coach of the Denver Broncos; and Jim Berry, program director at KOOL 105 radio station and a breast cancer survivor.

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.

Colorado gives marijuana candy a new look Wondering if that brownie contains pot? Colorado has you covered. A requirement that edible marijuana products come with a diamond-shaped stamp and the letters T-H-C — not just on the packaging but on the brownies, candies and other edibles themselves — took efect on Oct. 1. The rule referencing marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient was added after complaints that the treats look too much their non-intoxicating counterparts. It is the first such requirement in any legal weed state. Colorado’s new “universal symbol’’ for foods that contain marijuana is designed to give the treats a distinct look even after they’re out of the packaging. In other words, a pot cookie being passed around a high school cafeteria no longer will look so innocent, giving parents a way to identify marijuana edibles without smelling or tasting them. The stamping requirement comes in addition to exhaustive labeling and packaging rules that include childproof zippers and lids, along with warnings that the product should be kept away from children and not eaten before driving or while pregnant or nursing. “We want to ensure that people genuinely know the difference between a
“
This is not your normal chocolate bar. There’s something different about it. You can tell just from looking at it.”
Duncan Hines brownie and a marijuana brownie, just by looking at it,’’ said state Rep. Jonathan Singer, a Democrat who sponsored the law requiring stamped edibles. There are no numbers in Colorado or any marijuana state on how many children or adults accidentally eat pot. But a 2016 study tracing admissions at Children’s Hospital Colorado just outside Denver found that more kids were treated for accidental pot ingestion after legalization, from 1.2 per 100,000 population two years prior to legalization to 2.3 per 100,000 population two years after legalization. Marijuana ingestions remained relatively rare, though, with the hospital reporting 81 children treated for accidental pot ingestion between 2009 and 2015. Authors noted that “poor child
Andrew Schrot, founder of BlueKudu
supervision or product storage’’ was present in about a third of those cases. Still, reported accidental ingestions caught lawmakers’ attention. The law was passed more than a year ago but is just now taking effect because of difficulties implementing it. None of the other legal weed states has considered a universal symbol requirement for marijuana products themselves, as opposed to the packaging. Candies and baked goods may be simple to stamp, but the label requirement gets a lot trickier for bulk items such as granola, or marijuana-infused sodas or powders that can be dissolved in water. The state ultimately settled on new packaging rules for those impossible-to-stamp items, requiring that sodas come in small single-serve bottles, for example. Colorado also requires that edible packages contain the phrase, “Keep out of reach of children.’’ At BlueKudu, which makes marijuana-infused chocolates, owners had to buy new molds for a line of candy bars that include flavors like mint chocolate, toffee almond and coffee crunch.
Company founder Andrew Schrot said that when he started his company in 2011 for medical marijuana customers, his pot treats looked like any other chocolate bars. But he said the switch to a recreational market in which new marijuana users were trying his products necessitated change. “This is not your normal chocolate bar. There’s something different about it. You can tell just from looking at it,’’ Schrot said. Colorado’s marijuana industry initially was hesitant about the change, pointing out in regulatory meetings that alcohol makers aren’t required to dye their drinks funny colors to make sure parents don’t let kids get ahold of the booze. “Some of the industry expectation was, ‘Let’s keep it on the parents and the users in keeping it away from children or people who shouldn’t use it,’’’ Schrot said. “But you know, sometimes mistakes happen. You turn your back and a product is left out.’’ Colorado has no estimate of how many accidental ingestions might be avoided by the stamping. Starting next year, the state also will ban any edible marijuana products in the shape of a fruit, animal or human _ in addition to existing bans on the use of cartoon characters on packages or other images deemed attractive to kids. “It’s really a step in enhancing public safety and making sure that marijuana is out of the hands of children,’’ said Ron Kammerzell, head of enforcement for the state Marijuana Enforcement Division.
Former youth pastor spared prison time after sex assault Christopher Hutchinson was convicted of inappropriately touching a 13-year-old girl By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com A former youth pastor at churches in Littleton and Parker who was convicted of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 20 years of probation on Sept. 30 by District Court Judge Natalie Chase. Christopher Aaron Hutchinson, 37, was convicted in July of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. He met the victim when he Hutchinson was youth pastor at South Fellowship Church in Littleton. At the time of his arrest, he had moved on to the same position at Southeast Christian Church in Parker.
The prosecution had requested a sentence of four years to life in prison for the crime, which Chief Managing District Attorney Leora Joseph called a betrayal of trust that warranted a prison sentence. Prosecutors said Hutchinson began touching the girl while he was counseling her for depression in 2015, touching her bra and attempting to kiss her when they were going for a walk in DeKoevend Park in Centennial. Hutchinson apologized to the girl for his actions and urged her to keep them a secret, but she told her parents in September 2015, and they called the police. District Attorney George Brauchler said he was disappointed in the sentence and did not consider Hutchinson a good candidate for probation. “The defendant early on was offered a plea deal,” he said. “He could have accepted responsibility for his actions and admitted he needs help. He could have spared a 13-year-old girl who he victimized the trauma of being on the witness stand.”

New U.S. citizens take the oath Littleton hosts ceremony for 40 people from 18 nations
New U.S. citizens take their citizenship oath before receiving naturalization certificates Sept. 29 at Littleton City Center. The 40 new citizens came from 18 different countries. Photo by Kyle Harding
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The United States gained 40 new citizens on Sept. 29, with immigrants from 18 countries taking their oath of allegiance and receiving their naturalization certificates in the council chambers at Littleton City Center. The new citizens came from 18 different countries, as close as Canada and as far away as Bhutan. They came from other English-speaking countries like Australia or Western European nations like Germany, and they came from Central American countries like Honduras and El Salvador, African countries like Sudan and Liberia and Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and Thailand. The largest contingent came from Mexico. Several of the immigrants studied for the citizenship exam with the help of the Littleton Immigrant Resources Center, which U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services District Director for Denver Kristi Barrows described as a nationwide model for preparing future citizens. In addition to the citizenship class, the center, located in Bemis Library, offers legal assistance and English as a second language courses. Petula McShiras, supervisor of the center, said that the naturalization ceremony
is the culmination of months or even years of studying for their citizenship interview, during which they must pass a test on speaking, reading and writing English as well as an oral exam on American civics. One new citizen who took classes at the center is Liliana Paola Stephenson, who is from Uruguay but is married to a naturalborn citizen and has children born in the United States. Stephenson said that it was important to her that she be a citizen of the same

Story looks at life amid two cultures ‘The Oldest Boy’ plays at Aurora’s Vintage Theatre

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Lights go up on “The Oldest Boy” as the mother (Candace Joice) sits in an Asian contemplative pose, in meditation. The time is “modern day,” according to well-recognized playwright Sarah Ruhl. The set, designed by Douglas Clarke, is a contemporary New York apartment, with an interesting — and changeable — backdrop of large sheets of torn paper, which suggests distant mountains in Act II. The regional premiere is a collaboration between Vintage Theatre and Theatre Esprit Asia. Sounds from an awakening child drift into the mother’s ears. There is a knock at the door … When the woman opens it, she finds a smiling pair of robed Asian monks (Peter Trinh and Robert Payo) who make small talk about her husband’s Tibetan restaurant as she serves them tea. When the husband (Charlee Chiv) arrives home, the purpose of their call becomes clear — the oldest boy in Tibetan families may be chosen to live with the monks at their remote monastery and perhaps become a lama. The father understands, but the mother is terrified. Flashback to the parents’ love story, as they meet in his little restaurant on
a rainy day, fall for each other and soon move into a complex, though happy marriage — until that knock on the door. Ruhl wrote the script with the child represented by a life-sized puppet, which is how it’s presented at Vintage, with considerable skill, which will no doubt increase in the next weeks. Puppet designer Sushma at one time worked with Sutradhar Puppet Theatre at Shri Ram Center in New Delhi. She is an artist, published poet and playwright. 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. Director Craig Bond has produced a delicate, engaging piece of theater with a mix of cultures that seems very appropriate today as we strain to understand our complex world.
IF YOU GO “The Oldest Boy” plays through Oct. 23 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays and Saturday Oct. 1. Tickets: $15-$30, vintagetheatre.com, 303-856-7830.

‘Artificial pancreas’ gets OK to manage diabetes FDA gives approval to device that can help some patients By Matthew Perrone Associated Press Federal regulators have approved a first-of-a-kind “artificial pancreas,” a device that can help some diabetes patients manage their disease by constantly monitoring their blood sugar and delivering insulin as needed. The device from Medtronic was approved Sept. 28 for patients with Type 1 diabetes, the kind usually diagnosed during childhood. About 5 percent of the nation’s 29 million Americans with diabetes have this type. Doctors said they have long awaited a device that could help patients around the clock. “I can’t wait to get my hands on it because I can think of a lot of our pa-
tients who need this,” said the Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Betul Hatipoglu. “Now I have a helper who is going to help me to help them.” Type 1 diabetes patients now have to manage their insulin through multiple injections throughout the day or a drug pump that delivers it through a tube. Their own pancreas doesn’t make insulin, a hormone needed to turn food into energy. They face increased risks of dangerously high blood-sugar levels, heart disease and many other health problems. The new MiniMed 670G consists of a drug pump, a sensor that measures blood sugar and a tube that delivers the insulin. The sensor measures sugar levels every five minutes, infusing or withholding insulin as needed. Patients still have to manually increase insulin before meals. Medtronic said the device will cost between $6,000 and $9,000, similar to its
other insulin pumps. Older insulin pumps simply deliver a baseline level of insulin, and patients must monitor their sugar levels and give themselves more insulin to keep their blood sugar from getting too high. A big danger is having too much insulin in the body overnight, when blood-sugar levels naturally fall. People can go into comas, suffer seizures and even die. The Food and Drug Administration said it approved the device based on a three-month study of more than 120 patients. The study reported no major adverse events, such as dangerously low blood sugar, showing that the device is safe for those 14 years and up, regulators said in a release. The pump is about the size of a deck of cards and can be worn on a belt or carried in a pocket. The device “can provide people with Type 1 diabetes greater freedom to live their lives,” said Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, direc-
tor of the FDA’s device center. While the device can currently only be marketed for Type 1, doctors said it could eventually be used by those with Type 2 diabetes, where the body gradually loses the ability to produce or use insulin. Many of those patients are overweight or obese and face increased risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. “Type 2 diabetes is such an overwhelming spectrum of the disease and I think there’s a significant slice of that pie that could benefit from the artificial pancreas,” said Dr. Robert Courgi of Southside Hospital on New York’s Long Island. The agency said it is requiring Ireland-based device manufacturer Medtronic to further study the implant’s performance in patients. The company is also studying the device for potential use in children ages 7 to 13. A number of other companies are developing similar products, including Dexcom and Johnson & Johnson.
No appeal planned to get oil, gas rules put on ballot Groups join forces against plan to hinder amendments Associated Press Supporters of tougher restrictions on the oil and gas industry in Colorado said they won’t appeal a ruling by the state’s top elections official that kept two proposed constitutional amendments off the November ballot. The organizers said they would instead work to defeat another proposal that would make it harder for voters to change the state constitution. Sept. 28 was the deadline for the sponsors, Yes for Health and Safety Over Fracking, to appeal last month’s decision
by the Secretary of State’s Office that they hadn’t turned in enough valid signatures to get the oil and gas measures on the ballot. One would have required new wells to be at least 2,500 feet from homes and schools, up from 1,000 feet currently. The other would have given local governments authority to restrict or ban energy development, a power now held almost exclusively by state regulators. Tricia Olson of Yes for Health and Safety Over Fracking and other supporters of the oil and gas restrictions said they would focus on defeating a measure that will be on the ballot, called “Raise the Bar” by its sponsors. It would require voter-approved constitutional amendments to pass by

55 percent, up from 50 percent now. It would also require signatures of 2 percent of the registered voters in each of the state’s 35 state Senate districts to put amendments on the ballot. Also announcing their opposition to the “Raise the Bar” proposal on Sept. 28 were the Bell Policy Center and Colorado Fiscal Institute, both think tanks; Conservation Colorado, which describes itself as the state’s largest conservation group;
and New Era Colorado, active in engaging and registering young voters. Among other arguments, the groups said the proposal would favor well-funded interests, such as the energy industry, in gathering signatures statewide and fighting grassroots ballot proposals because it would make the petition-gathering process more costly. Colorado voters rejected similar proposals in 1996 and 2008.

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.

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 Craig Marshall Smith goes unturned. QUIET Albert Camus said, DESPERATION “Autumn is a second 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. Smith continues on Page 13

October 6, 2016
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’ll give you an idea about my change in temperament. 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.

CULTURE FA I T H FA M I L Y FOOD HEALTH
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.

Fielder to celebrate state’s special places By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Castle Pines Arts and Cultural Foundation will present an evening with Colorado photographer John Fielder at 7 p.m. on Oct. 21 at the Castle Pines Community Center, 7404 Yorkshire Drive, Castle Pines. Fielder’s program will be a presentation that celebrates the 100 years of Colorado’s national parks and monuments and the National Park Service. Fielder has photographed these federal lands for over 40 years and intends to take his audience figuratively
traveling with him. Travel will be on foot and by boat. By raft you will negotiate the thousand-foot-deep canyons of the Colorado, Yampa, Green, Arkansas and Gunnison Rivers. On foot, you will enter the cliff dwellings and castles of early Native Americans. With backpack and tent, you will explore remote parts of the magnificent Rocky Mountain National Park. Fielder will talk about his life in the wilderness, as well as challenges and techniques of wilderness photography. Music accompanies and enhances his images and he includes some works by 19th-century photographer W.H. Jackson. (Fielder has stood at the same spot as Jackson and recorded the site today in many locations.) Following Fielder’s presentation,

‘Swan Lake’ will launch season for Colorado Ballet Original choreography from 1895 will be used in Denver By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Swan Lake” opens Colorado Ballet’s 56th season with 11 performances from Oct. 7-23 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex. Accompanying the dancers will
be the Colorado Ballet Orchestra, live, performing Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s beautiful score. Based on Russian folk tales, this production features the original choreography from 1895, after Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, performed by the Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg. It was set and updated by American Ballet Principals Amanda McKerrow, John Gardner and Sandra Brown, who is now ballet mistress of the Colorado
PRINCIPAL DANCER PLANS FOR FUTURE At some performances principal dancer Maria Mosina will probably perform as Odette, assuming that a broken foot she suffered during the summer has healed adequately. After 21 seasons with Colorado Ballet, she has announced that this is her final season and she will retire at its end and share her artistry as a teacher in future years.
Born in Moscow, she went through rigorous training with the Bolshoi Company and joined the Bolshoi Ballet Grigorovich Company, touring the world. In 1995, Colorado Ballet invited her to join as a leading principal dancer. She has performed all major parts in classical productions and contemporary ones.
Ballet. It remains true to traditional choreography with a new fourth act that premiered in 2008. It will be presented in four acts, with two intermissions, and tells the story of Prince Siegfried, who falls in love with Odette, a lovely princess, living under Baron Von Rothbart’s wicked curse, which condemns her to forever be the Swan Queen, unless the curse is broken by a royal marriage vow. The sorcerer and his daughter, Odile, work against the romance. Odile becomes the evil black swan. At one point the audience can look forward to seeing 27 swans onstage at one time, according to company director

other options. For instance, teacher cadet or business communication classes could substitute for English elective requirements, or auto technology or accounting for math requirements, giving students in career and technical education programs more opportunity to have those classes count toward graduation requirements. “I hear a lot of enthusiasm for these options,” Ewert said. Clay Abla, LPS director of secondary education, said the board of education will have to approve a final plan that will include which classes students can use as substitutes for English, math, science and social science content areas. “We have not identified every course that will or won’t count,” he said. Under the guidelines, one semester of physical education could also be substituted by playing sports or performing in the marching band. Abla said the district’s goal is for 100 percent of graduating students to be prepared
IF YOU GO “Swan Lake” will be performed from Oct. 7 to 23 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex. Performance dates: 7:30 p.m.: Oct. 7, 8, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22; 2 p.m. Oct. 8, 9, 16, 23. Ticket prices range from $30 to $155: coloradoballet.org or 303-837-8888, ext. 2.

for “meaningful post-secondary opportunities.” What that means varies from student to student. “Our goal is we want every student to be able to pursue their pathway,” Abla said. But students will have to have some idea of what that means for them, as they will be required to complete Individual Career and Academic Plans to graduate. “In the past, it’s only been recommended that they do an ICAP,” Abla said. While the vast majority, about 90 percent, of LPS students graduate high school in the traditional four-year timeframe, there may be students with learning disabilities, come from impoverished backgrounds or are English-language learners who take longer. The district currently has about a 97 percent or 98 percent graduation rate — which is well above the state average — when the timeframe is extended for a seven-year, instead of a four-year, period. “I think it’s perfectly acceptable for us to have those kids for five or six years,” Ewert said. He would like to see all students wellprepared for college or the workforce. “I never think it’s OK if you’re in the 2 or 3 percent that’s not prepared,” he said.

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

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 …

Colorado History Camp set for Metro campus Full day of presentations will be offered on Nov. 12 By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
historical consultant and Historic Littleton Inc. president Gail Keeley. What do these topics have in common? They are among the many subjects to be explored by more than two dozen speakers at the first Colorado History Camp on Nov. 12 at the Tivoli on Metro State University’s campus in downtown Denver. Plan to spend the day.
“Plumber: The Story of Microhistory,” “Royal Genealogy and Territory of an Ancient Mixtec Kingdom in Oaxaca, Mexico” and “Denver’s Brick Sewers,” by Littleton
A BELOW-GROUND LOOK AT THE PAST
History continues on Page 24
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…
IN THEIR WORDS Denver’s brick sewers were as large as six feet in diameter and some are still in the ground under the city. Gail Keeley of Littleton will speak at Colorado History Camp in November about the survey of them she completed for CDOT and the City of Denver. Courtesy photo

Art adds power to healing place
Hospital gallery helps spark peace, serenity
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The healing power of art has been recognized for centuries — visual arts to look at (and to create) and musical arts as well. The Castle Rock Hospital Foundation sponsors a program, Healing Arts, which integrates art into healing at the Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. A dedicated gallery is located on the corridor that connects the hospital’s medical building with the core area, according to Jude Keller, who works with the community artists, as does artist Mary Williams of Castle Pines, who coordinates exhibits in the other Adventist hospitals in the area — Littleton, Parker and Porter. The goal in integrating the arts into health care is “creating an environment not just to treat illness, but to provide an inspiration for living … From music to massage, to paintings and sculptures, the Healing Arts Program offers many expressions of art to create a healing environment for our patients and their families, our staff and the community,” says a statement describing the program. Keller said the Parker Adventist Hospital also has an art gallery in its cancer care center that has an impact. “We need to be so sensitive to help people on this journey,” Keller said. She added that

“Perspective,” the most recent of painter Cindy Welch’s series of iconic Castle Rock locations, is a watercolor of that famous rock, with a tiny couple looking out from the top. It is included in Welch’s Healing Arts exhibit at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. Courtesy photo certified therapeutic practitioners, music therapists, visit patients in their rooms. There is clinical evidence that this helps with pain and anxiety. Light massage of hands and feet is also soothing. A report from Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center expands on the usefulness of art in healing. “In the late 1800s, Florence Nightingale wrote, `Little as we know about the way we are affected by form, by color and light, we do know this, they have an actual physical effect.

Variety of form and brilliancy of color in the objects presented to the patient are an actual means of recovery,’ her paper reports …” Today, the arts are once again being considered an integral component in the care of patients in health care facilities across the nation. Health care providers understand that caring for a patient goes well beyond the physical and encompasses mental and spiritual health as well. Patients who see nature

scenes in a painting, a photograph or out the window have less anxiety and request less pain medication and had a quicker post-operative recovery time. Families and caregivers are also helped by exposure to art and nature. Keller said there is a nurse who starts her day by visiting the art gallery in Castle Rock. ”When people are relaxed and receptive, they place themselves in the best possible state of mind and spirit for medicine to do its work,” said the Massachusetts General piece. A new exhibit, opening with a 5 to 7 p.m. reception on Oct. 6, shows work by watercolorist Cindy Welch of Castle Rock. “Castle Rock’s Iconic Landmarks” is Welch’s title for her exhibit, which includes watercolor images of a number of the community’s historic buildings. (She also sells color prints of those images.) And the artist gains a positive feeling from knowing that her/his art is giving others a needed lift in spirits. Preceding Welch’s exhibit was one by local high school artists. Next will be colorful abstract works by painter Elaine Asarch: “Healing with Color.” The gallery at Castle Rock Hospital, 2350 Meadows Blvd., is open to the public, as are exhibits at other Adventist hospitals. Ask at the information desk for the locations of art. (Littleton Hospital has some impressive large sculptural works outside on the grounds, including near the ER entrance.)

Local history nerd Carrie Lund learned about the original Boston History Camp last year and attended it, with the thought of organizing a similar program for Denver. Mike Massey, from the Historic Littleton Inc. board, met her at a Historic Denver event and was excited to volunteer and recruit others from HLInc. The word has gotten out to potential speakers and Lund has had to stop accepting any more. Lund explains that “History Camp
is the history unconference for adults.” It will be held starting at 9 a.m. Nov. 12 at the Tivoli on the MSU campus, lasting through the day, with time out for lunch. There will be more than two dozen presentations, held every hour in different rooms at the Tivoli, and you don’t have to register for a topic in advance. Just step into the presentation that invites you! (If it’s too full, go next door or to plan B, if you have one.) A list and map will be available. While you needn’t register for individual topics, you DO have to register for the “unconference” in advance — with or without a commemorative T-shirt! See the form at historycamp.org and send it in online or by mail.

o
Concrete parking area comes to life with chalk art By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com The concrete parking lot of Centennial Center Park transformed into a canvas for professional and amateur artists alike over the weekend of Sept. 24 and 25. “I wanted to pick something challenging,” said Laurel Thompson, a sophomore at Hertitage High School who co-created a portrait of a woman with dainty lights intertwined through her hand. “Black and white can be hard to work with.” Artists spent two days posted on the ground of the parking lot, which is located off East Arapahoe Road near South Revere Parkway. Chalk dust covered their hands and clothing. Some designs mirrored a movie scene or character. Others were intricate replicas of a printed photograph or design. Trina Baird, of Denver, started her creation on the morning of Sept. 24. By the
afternoon of Sept. 25, her parking space had turned into a large, rainbow-themed gorilla face. “It’s just a hobby for me,” said Baird, who’s participated in Centennial and Denver chalk art festivals for the past three years. The free weekend-long event — sponsored by Colorado Community Media and Arapahoe Community College — also featured live music, vendor booths and food trucks. For some artists, like Benjamin Hummel and Cherish Flieder, the festival is another way for everyday people to appreciate artwork, as they would in a museum or exhibit. The husband-and-wife team from Golden — called People of the Chalk — design and create 3-D illusions and interactive pieces. They were the featured artists of the Chalk Art Festival and brought to life a giant pumpkin surrounded by critters. “The more time you can get art in front of people,” Flieder said, “the better it is for all ages.”
Tyler Quintana, a comic book artist, uses chalk to draw the bride of Frankenstein at this year’s Chalk Art Festival on Sept. 24. “I wanted to go with something a Halloween theme,” he said. Photos by Alex DeWind

Pirates shut out Rams Englewood wins homecoming game against Sheridan By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The home team gave fans something to cheer about at the Sept. 30 Englewood-Sheridan football game. Englewood homecoming fans cheered as their team scored early and often as the Pirates won the

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)
game, 35-0. “We are better than we were last year and the good thing is we have a full team tonight, not like last week,” Pirates Coach Jay Graves said. “Last week we had a bunch of guys hurt and we had others on the sidelines because of grades. We have just about everyone back. That’s good because it’s our first 2A league game and its homecoming.” Sheridan coach Johnny Martinez the Rams are very young and only had
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.
16 athletes suited up to play against Englewood. “We wish we had more players but we are happy to have the kids who are with us because they are intense and they play hard on every snap,” he said. “We like to mix it up on offense and we’ll do what we think the defense won’t expect.” The Rams got their first win Sept. 27 against Jefferson. The coach said Pirates continues on Page 29
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.

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage will be hosting a regional state-qualifying tournament thanks to a 4-3 victory over Mountain Vista in a match Sept. 27 at the Lebsack Tennis Center at Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch. Mountain Vista will have to travel to Grand Junction for the Region 5 tournament after Heritage won a three-set No. 4 doubles match to claim a 4-3 win over the Golden Eagles. The victory assured Heritage of hosting one of the eight regional tournaments that will be played Oct. 5-8. Heritage coach Chad Hanson, a former coach at ThunderRidge, didn’t hide the importance of the No. 4 doubles match. “We knew that a chance at the league title was on the line as well as a trip to Grand Junction for the regionals for the losing team,” he said. “My No. 4 double team won a three-set thriller. Jim Flanigan (Vista coach) and I are close friends and have coached against each other for 10 years. We’ve had a number of great matches over the years and I’m happy to finally have beaten him.” Regis Jesuit notched a 5-2 win over Heritage on Sept. 29 in a match for the league championship but the secondplace finish was good enough that the Eagles won’t have to pack their bags for the regional tournament. Key moments Heritage’s Ryan Dicker and Carson McLeon came on strong after dropping the first set and collected a 2-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-1 victory over Vista’s Naman Kapaski and Cameron Mahoney in the No. 4

Heritage’s No. 2 singles player junior Jack Alexander ran his season overall record to 10-1, with a 6-0, 6-2 win over sophomore Max Probst.

McLeon prevailed in the No. 4 doubles match with players from both teams watching. They said it “I’m still very proud of the way my boys played, and matches like that will serve both teams well at regionals and state,” Flanigan said. “I hope we both have great regional and state tournaments. It was a fun match between two evenly matched teams. It came down to a very close No. 4 doubles match and we came up a little short.” The singles match between Gates and Antonsen was one of the featured matches.

They said it Senior Caleb Anderson who centers the ball for the Pirates said he and his teammates fought hard against a determined Sheridan team that never quit coming hard on every play. “I started out playing right guard but the coach moved me to center and I really like the position,” he said. “I like being the center, there is a lot more fun, there is a

“Ben is a senior and Skyler a junior,” Hanson said. “Skyler lost the first set in a tiebreaker and was never able to get back in the groove. Ben played smart and made very few mistakes in the match that we could take advantage of .” Going forward Regional tournament placements are determined by league finish. Heritage, the Continental League’s No. 2 team, will host the Region 7 state-qualifying tournament at Colorado Athletic Club at Inverness while Mountain Vista will compete in the Region 5 tournament hosted by Southwest League champion Grand Junction.
lot more responsibility and I get to touch the ball. I didn’t touch the ball as a guard.” He also plays defensive tackle for the Pirates. He said he likes both position and the good thing about playing defense it you get to hit people. Anthony Martinez called the signals for the Rams and he also played middle linebacker. “We played hard and I am very proud of how we played defense,” he said. “Playing quarterback is OK. I just want to play where I can help our team the most. Now we will go back, work hard and get ready so we can play even harder in the next game.”
TDs that he has accounted for this season by passing or rushing. McCaffrey was held to 49 rushing and 30 receiving yards in a Sept. 30 loss to Washington.

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 second-place Davis Bryant of Eaglecrest. He had a hole-in-one on the 136yard, 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 runners-up six times. Highlands Ranch could have won the title if Pearson birdied the 582-yard 18th

A par on the hole would have created a tie with Regis and a playoff. “We had a chance to win on the last hole but we couldn’t quite get it done,” Barker said. “Kyle hit a perfect tee shot, well over 300 yards, right down the middle on 18. 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

Gabe Goodman, Green Mountain, 80-73 153 about that.” What about the strategy on that final hole? “We were just playing our normal aggressive golf and we end up with a bad lie and couldn’t get the score we wanted on the last hole,” Barker said. “I’m sure some people will say you should have laid up and just played for par, but that’s not how we play. 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 ball in the hole.” Lakewood, second the past two seasons in the state tournament, finished third in the team standings, with Rock Canyon fifth, Cherry Creek sixth and Arapahoe seventh. 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. Lakewood’s Griffin Barela tied for fourth after back-toback rounds of even-par 71. In the Class 4A tournament at River Valley Ranch in Carbondale, five-time state champion Valor Christian finished third, 20 shots behind champion Discovery Canyon. Jack Schoenborn paced the Eagles as he tied for 13th place with rounds of 80 and 72 for a 152 two-day score.

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek’s team competed in the Oct. 1 Think Pink Gymnastics Invitational at Lakewood High School to continue preparation for the allimportant regional and state meets that are just around the corner. “We have one more home meet and one more invitational before the postseason competition begins,” Bruins coach January Stewart said before the meet started. “We are not where we want to be and we know we still have a ways to go before we are where we want to be for the postseason. A number of our girls have suffered injuries and, of course, that doesn’t help us. But my four seniors provide great leadership for

our young team and we just will keep trying to get better.” Each team 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 to post all-around scores. Judges watched every move on each apparatus from entry to conclusion before scoring each competitor’s performance on a scale of one to 10. Cherry Creek finished second in the team standings with a score of 176.0. Lakewood won the team title with a score of 177.1 Cherry Creek’s Mackenzie Doerr was second in the all-around competition with a score of 37.75. She also won the vault event with a score of 9.4. Stewart said the future looks bright for Cherry Creek gymnastics. “We only have four seniors on our roster of 30 girls. That is the most girls we have had out for gymnastics. Usually we have about 15 on our
team,” she said. “We want to work to help the young gymnasts improve their skills because they are our future varsity leaders.” The coach said the team always seeks to score well at the home meets and the invitational meets because those results determine their Class 5A rankings. “We are performing pretty well and anticipate this will be a good season for us,” Stewart said. “I think we are ranked third in Class 5A which is a good position to be as we look forward to regionals and state.” Regional Class 5A gymnastics will be held Oct. 29 at three high schools, Overland, Mountain Range and Arvada West. Ten teams qualify for state: the three regional champions plus the next seven teams with the highest scores in regionals. Gymnasts on teams that don’t qualify for state can earn berths as individual competitors.

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.
