Windermere fire evacuees face difficult future Local agencies step up to assist victims as they search for new homes

HOW TO HELP There are several ways to help residents evicted after the Windermere fire. Arapahoe County Foundation The Arapahoe County Foundation has established a fund to residents. Donations will go directly to residents, to assist with everything from down payments and first months’ rent on new homes to food and new clothes, according to Linda Haley, the director of the county’s Senior Services division.

Facing down a daunting search for new homes, the 163 seniors evicted from the Windermere apartments in Littleton after a fire rendered their building uninhabitable have a long road to travel. “You have to fight the insurance companies for everything,” said Jude Coffee, whose sister Carolyn Vierling has been hospitalized since the Nov. 17 fire that killed resident Michael Mitchell and left more than a dozen others injured. “The adjusters’ jobs are literally to give you as little as possible.” Vierling, 73, has scarring on her lungs from the smoke that roiled through the entire five-story building during the fire, despite the fact that the flames were limited to one first-floor unit. Coffee said it’s unclear when if her sister can live on her own again, or even where. “She didn’t have much to begin with,” Coffee said. “She’s on Section 8 (subsidized housing vouchers). There aren’t many units out there for someone like her.” Coffee spent Dec. 4 at a “disaster re-

“I absolutely endorse the Arapahoe County Foundation fundraiser,” said Kathryn Roy, the director of Love Inc., a Christian charity that has worked closely with Windermere residents. “They’ve been a leader in efforts to help this population, and they’re here for the long haul. Every quarter donated is accounted for.”

ing much of the response to the disaster, alongside Kathryn Roy, the director of Love Inc., a Christian charity. “It’s going to take all of us in the community pitching in to give these people as soft a landing as possible,” Haley said. Haley and Roy are two of the central players in what they call the “longterm recovery team,” composed of a variety of local agencies, including the American Red Cross, South Metro Housing Options and others. Residents have not yet been able to access their units, Haley said, and aren’t sure what the move-out process will be like, or where they’ll take their belongings if they haven’t yet lined up new housing. Though most of the building’s residents have renters’ insurance, Haley said, it won’t cover everything. Many policies don’t cover food, clothing, or many household items — all of which the residents lost when they were locked out of their homes. Most residents must continue paying the equivalent of their monthly rent toward hotel stays before insurance kicks in. Andy Boian, a spokesman for TeboOrvis LLC, which owns the Windermere, told residents on Dec. 3 that they should soon be able to arrange movers to retrieve their belongings from their apartments, but smoke damage means the items will need to be professionally cleaned or thrown out. The biggest question is where everyone will go. “The supply isn’t matching the need” when it comes to housing for the displaced residents, said Ben Nichols, Arapahoe County’s housing specialist. “We’re reaching out to landlords we’ve worked with in the past, but finding good, safe affordable housing for everyone is a challenge,” Nichols said. Many of the residents want to stay in Littleton, Nichols said, but “Littleton’s just not big enough to house all

The foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) founded in 1985, according to tax documents. It is overseen by a board of directors including several county officials. To donate, go to bit.ly/WindermereFireFund or you can mail a check payable to “Arapahoe County Foundation” to 5334 S. Prince St., Littleton, CO 80120. Please include “The Windermere Apartment Fire Victims” on the memo line of your check.

Love Inc. Love Inc. also accepts donations, but Roy said that the group primarily needs volunteers to serve as “navigators,” who assist residents in dealing with insurance and other legal matters as they put their lives back together. The group also needs drivers who can take residents to and from appointments. All Love Inc. volunteers are vetted and go through background checks, and must attend an orientation session, held twice monthly. Volunteers are asked to affirm their Christian faith, Roy said.

Former Arapahoe High students reflect on shooting’s impact ‘I definitely believe that Claire is around’ BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

‘Talk about mental illness ... with anyone that will listen’ BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After the shooting, it felt like the world was ending. That’s a glimpse into Harper Brown’s mental state after a tragedy struck that forced her to hide in the corner of her fourth-period class, “thinking Columbine was about to happen to me,” Brown said. “I was lucky — I only heard the shots,” Brown, now 22, said. “I can’t imagine what it would have been like to see any of the violence.” She felt her world upended when she continued to hear of similar incidents around the country in the years to follow. “I was hyperaware of school shootings that occurred in the next few years,” Brown said. “I sent social media messages of hope to the students and ripped my own emotional wound open again each time.” Five years after the incident at

Arapahoe High School, Brown, who graduated from the school in 2014 and was friends with Claire Davis — who was killed in the shooting — still deals with post-traumatic stress when she hears gunshots and other loud sounds. But she speaks about the incident with clarity, adamant that discussing mental health is a meaningful step toward preventing shootings at other schools in the country. Brown said she went to therapy a few times, but her healing also came from the emotional support of family and friends, her faith and writing about the tragedy of Dec. 13, 2013. “I felt not only the desire but the responsibility to document my feelings throughout the process of healing,” Brown said. It wasn’t an easy one: A nauseous feeling sat in the pit of her stomach for weeks after the incident, and her SEE BROWN, P8

Erica Blair was just 17 years old and a high school senior, but outside the public eye, she felt like she was doing damage control. “I know that was impossible for one 17-year-old to do by herself — just unrealistic,” said Blair, who focused on being there for others after she lost a close friend, Claire Davis, in the shooting at Arapahoe High School five years ago. It took Blair lot of soul searching to realize putting herself second may have been unhealthy. Seeing her performance in school slip was a “big sign,” she said. “I really needed to be selfish and focus on my well-being, and I didn’t do that,” Blair said. “That had repercussions down the line.” Now a 22-year-old student at Baylor University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing in Texas, she still feels Davis’ presence, and

she’s made progress facing the hurdles that come with processing tragedy. “I went into college with this thought process that I was going to not be able to retain any friends because at that point — and still sometimes — the first thing I think about is, `My friend’s going to die, I can’t be friends with them,’ ” Blair said. “And now, I can realize that’s not likely.” She still talks often about the tragedy because it helped put many choices in perspective for her and, she believes, others who went through it. And keeping the public from sweeping it “under the rug,” she said, is imperative to healing. “I think what people forget about the most is it’s not about the first week or first month or first year,” Blair said.

Programs, community involvement help LPS become safer, better GUEST COLUMN

Brian Ewert

olorado Community Media Editor Chris Rotar asked me to write a guest column looking back five years to the tragic events of Dec. 13, 2013. On that day, Arapahoe High School student Claire Davis was murdered by a fellow student at school, who then took his own life. What have we learned? What’s different today? We’ve learned a great deal. We know it’s about Dec. 13, 2013 and every tragedy our community has faced including and since that day. Every student life lost through violence or suicide is devastating. We are always looking for ways to improve

safety and security in our schools. The fact that we have been ranked in the top 20 nationally by industry-leading Security Magazine since 2011 and now sit at No. 4 on that same list nationally tells us that our work has made a difference. It’s an ongoing effort that must evolve with the changes that occur in our community and in the world. Physical safety alone is not enough. We’ve learned that what’s most important is the human touch — the compassion and understanding for one another as well as continuous vigilance — that truly has the biggest impact on keeping students safe. We increased

the number of adults in our schools that can intervene when students are struggling. The LPS Board of Education devoted nearly $1 million to provide more mental health experts in our schools. In 2013, LPS had 59 counselors, psychologists and social workers in our schools; today there are 88. We need more. A number of age-appropriate mental health programs are now in place in all of our schools. For example, our high schools and middle schools recently implemented SEE EWERT, P8

Mother of LPS students recalls ‘terrifying situation’ BY REBECCA ROESE Special to Colorado Community Media

M Rebecca Roese, right, says her three daughters have come to see school shootings as normal since the 2013 Arapahoe shooting. COURTESY PHOTO

y three daughters and I moved to Littleton from Northglenn in 2013, the year of the Arapahoe High School shooting. My oldest daughter, Izzy, started fifth grade at East Elementary, my middle daughter was in first grade, and the youngest was still a preschooler. Izzy was among the students who earned a limousine ride and a pizza lunch for reading that year. The winners from her class piled into the limo and headed to a pizza restaurant across the street from Arapahoe High School. The kids had just finished eating and were packing up to leave when the shooting happened across the street. The restaurant was immediately surrounded by SWAT teams

and police officers. The students inside knew immediately a girl at the high school had died, because every TV in the restaurant was blaring live news, and they could see everything happening out the window. Nobody comforted them. Nobody told them they were safe. At least that’s how they remember it. The children sat in that pizza shop, staring at the high school, while the news rang from literally every corner. They sat there for nearly five hours, as I recall. I wasn’t informed that Izzy was caught up in that situation until I picked her up after school. I had no clue that my kid was crying, terrified, surrounded by a terrifying situation with no comfort for hours on end. I now have one child at Littleton High School, one at Goddard

Middle School, and one still at East Elementary. None of them have been directly involved in a school shooting, but they all remember Claire Davis and what happened that day. And they know all about Columbine. And they don’t want to talk about the newer shootings, the ones that seem to happen weekly. They don’t seem preventable to them, because they feel adults won’t or can’t do anything to prevent it. The fear is always passively there, in every school hallway. They don’t want their teachers armed because they have seen some be frustrated, angry, or aggressive and don’t want to take that chance, either. I don’t know that the kids have healed as much as they just don’t notice school shootings anymore. Can you heal from something like this if it so normalized?

feelings about it shifted from shock to sadness, confusion and an anger that still flares up whenever she hears of another shooting. It’s on the public to prevent such tragedies, she said. “There are other ways than just gun control,” Brown said. “It was (mental health) that wasn’t under control that caused my classmate to use a gun in a violent way. Talk about mental illness with your therapist, with your family, with your friends — with anyone that will listen.” Davis’ friends supported each other by talking frequently about the tragedy, but it was difficult to accept her death, Brown said. “Just this past February, I hung out with one of my best friends who was very close with Claire our senior year,” Brown said. “We visited her grave and gave her flowers and a card

one-bedroom, which sat at $1,465 in December, according to apartmentlist.com. Many of the Windermere’s residents have little income other than Social Security, Nichols said.

LPS receives tips through Safe 2 Tell every week, and our highly skilled team of district security, mental health professionals and law enforcement experts respond immediately to each and every one. Safe 2 Tell has alerted LPS first responders to 49 suicide threats since July 1 of this year. There is no question that lives have been saved. We’ve learned that there is so much more to do. The stress our teens feel in today’s culture is increasing, and we as a society are not solving the problems. Many teens struggle with feelings of isolation and loneliness. These feelings are intensified when social media posts only reinforce “perfection” and a false sense of community. Often, the lives teens portray on social media are in reality completely devoid of the face-to-face and physical interactions that are a basic human need. Social media never stops, and so the pressure to be perfect and be included, the feelings of

loneliness, and the bullying that also occurs, never stop. Social media might begin as benign, but it also can quickly become a real source of pain and stress and something that adults cannot truly understand. The cultural pressure to achieve an unrealistic level of “success” in school, sports, college entrance exams and getting into “the right colleges” is felt by many of our students. Some students turn to drugs and alcohol and engage in other harmful behaviors as a way to cope. As a district known not only for academic success but also for extracurricular achievements, we are aware of our role in helping our students to strike a balance. We as a district believe that success is about far more than grades and accolades. We want our students to grow into happy, healthy and well-adjusted young adults. We’ve learned that when tragedy occurs, it is natural to want to place blame. The truth is schools are a reflection of the communities they serve. We continue to engage national experts and

for Valentine’s Day. That was when it finally felt real.” Teachers, parents and students in the Arapahoe community pulled together to weather the tragedy at the time, and Brown is still in touch with former students there. Her sister just graduated from the school, and Brown meets with a few current seniors each week through her church in Highlands Ranch.She lives in Centennial, just a few miles from the school, and works as an engineering and construction recruiter in the Denver area. Brown graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in May with a degree in journalism. She hopes people reflect on not just the tragedy, but also on what people can do to address what leads to incidents like it. “I’m glad Arapahoe created Clarity Commons on campus,” Brown said. “It means a lot to me and so many others that (Claire) is remembered and that we all learn from Dec. 13, 2013. The PTSD fades more and more every year, but I’ll never forget.” the area don’t have elevators,” Nichols said. “Ground-floor units are in high demand, but people tend to stay in those long-term.” Finding appropriate housing would “mean everything” to the displaced residents, Nichols said. “The lost their community, their homes, and all their belongings,” Nichols said. “A little stability would go a long way.” Residents have a variety of other needs, said Roy, the Love Inc. director. Love Inc. has been providing rides to residents, helping them get to apartment showings, doctor appointments, and to resident meetings, Roy said. The group also provides “navi-

researchers to help us understand and explore possible solutions. We learn from other communities who have lost children due to school violence and suicide. We also share what we’ve learned with other communities that have suffered similar tragedies. We can all agree that our students deserve our very best. While there is much to celebrate in the progress we’ve made, there is much more work to do. We see hope and promise that if the community as a whole continues to work together, we will continue to improve, to better recognize the warning signs, make it more culturally acceptable to ask for help and have the appropriate help available quickly. As a result, our schools will be safer and our students will be healthier and happier. We don’t have all the answers. But, we will never stop working to improve. Our students need all of us in this together now more than ever. Brian Ewert is the superintendent of Littleton Public Schools

BLAIR FROM PAGE 4

“It’s about what happens when the spotlight is no longer on the town and no longer on the community — that’s when the real healing starts.” People need to keep checking in even when the news coverage fades and the public largely moves on, Blair said. “Unfortunately, love and support are really hard to get when you’re in high school. Going through a shooting, support was more readily available for a while, and then a month later, people started to forget — even other students and teachers,” Blair said. “And that’s OK if forgetting is what they needed to do for themselves.” But support is still needed for those who process differ-

gators” — volunteers who help residents make their way through the miasma of bureaucracy surrounding their situation. Love Inc. has also provided communal meals to residents stuck in hotels, offering a vital but intangible service: fellowship. “We’ll be here with these folks for the long haul,” Roy said. “We ask for prayers for the journey ahead for these evacuees.” Recovering from the ordeal of the fire and eviction will take time, said Maggie Babyak, one of the co-founders of Our Front Porch, a disaster recovery nonprofit group. “We’re discovering that a lot of people need trauma services,”

ently, she said. Looking back, she was lucky to have Davis and others who were “life-changing” for her, she said. “At the same time, there wasn’t enough love going around because this still happened,” Blair said. “People forget the shooter’s family and friends are equally victims.” A tragedy like Arapahoe’s makes a lifelong impact, Blair said, but she still feels her friend with her. “I definitely believe that Claire is around and that she’s still my friend,” Blair said. “She still comes to see me. That doesn’t mean she’s tangible, but that’s so healing for me. “You can’t see love, but you know it when you have it. And I was lucky to be loved by such an amazing friend, and her family.”

Babyak said. Her group provides mental health treatment and advocacy, among other services. Indeed, the trauma is still sinking in, said Paul Draper, a resident who has spent the days since the fire in an extended-stay hotel with his wife Pauline. A resident in a neighboring unit set off a smoke alarm when he burned some food in his kitchenette on a recent night, Draper said, sending his wife into a panic. “She’s such a positive person, and it’s so hard to see her sobbing like that,” Draper said. “Our 55year wedding anniversary is coming up, and we’ve been through a lot, but never anything like this. This is hard.”

rowds in the Goodson Recreation Center gym exercised their creative eye as a slew of local artisans put their work on display for the annual Arts and Crafts Fair on Dec. 1. Carol and Charlie Stepp, a married couple from Littleton, ran a table stocked with colorful casserole carriers — all handmade, all reversible, Carol Stepp said. “I named them all — they’re my children,” said Stepp, 61, whose husband does the fabric cutting to go with her sewing. “I have a partner in crime,” she said. The Stepps’ business is called Creative Dragonfly. A few steps away, Makena Slater, also from Littleton, had an assortment of quilts on display and calls her business Just Sew Life. “I ran out of people to give (my quilts) to, friends and family, so I thought I’d get them out to more people,” said Slater, 30. Slater, who has made quilts for about two years, made her first appearance at the Goodson fair. “I’m pretty happy with the day,” she said.

Magdolna Bodor, 62, talks about her wreaths Dec. 1 at the annual Goodson Recreation Center Arts and Crafts Fair. She started out making them as a hobby and made some for friends. “I had so much inventory — I had to figure out how to share my love of nice things and sell some,” said Bodor, of Denver. “My husband says I need to clear the basement,” she added with a laugh.

C-470 expansion project expected to wrap up by summer CDOT representatives held final open house Dec. 5 BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Motorists should be able to travel along C-470 from Wadsworth Boulevard to Interstate 25 without the disruption of construction by summer 2019. The Colorado Department of Transportation held its fourth and final public presentation on the C-470 expansion project on Dec. 5 at the Hilton Garden Inn at Highlands Ranch, 1050 Plaza Drive. About 20 CDOT representatives and contractors and 30 residents attended. The C-470 Express Lanes project — which kicked off in late 2016 — will add two tolled express lanes westbound from I-25 to Colorado Boulevard, near the South University Boulevard exit, narrowing to one from Colorado Boulevard to Wadsworth Boulevard. One express lane will be added to the eastbound stretch from Wadsworth Boulevard to I-25. The project will also see bridges and overpasses widened, curves realigned and the addition of noise walls along populated parts of the corridor, among other tweaks, according to CDOT materials. The project is expected to save motorists upwards of 18 minutes of

Highlands Ranch residents speak to representatives from the Colorado Department of Transportation at an open house about the C-470 expansion project. The Dec. 5 public meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch drew about 30 community members, who had questions about the timeline, cost of tolls and noise. ALEX DEWIND travel time on the roughly 12-mile stretch between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard during rush hour. Tolls will vary depending on traffic flow and would range up to $6 to travel the entire express-lane corridor during peak hours. The goal is to keep all motorists moving at 45 mph or faster. Tamara Rollison, regional commu-

nications manager at CDOT, emphasized that motorists will have the choice of using the toll lanes or the existing lanes. “They can take the general-purpose lanes for free like they always have or, for those times they need to reach a destination faster, they can take the express lanes,” Rollison said. Roxborough resident Shawn Benson

attended the open house to get up to speed on the schedule of the project. He’s anxious for construction to be completed and foresees himself taking the toll lanes to bypass the growing amount of traffic. “It’s inconvenient, everyone knows that,” Benson said. “But like of lot of big projects, it will be worth it.” A Highlands Ranch resident, who would like his name withheld for privacy, had the opposite outlook. He will not be using the toll lanes, he said. “I don’t like the idea that you have to pay for convenience,” the resident said at the open house. “We are all taxpayers.” Roughly 100,000 drivers use the segment of highway every day, according to CDOT, with volumes projected to increase 40 percent by 2035. Douglas County funded $10 million of the project’s $276 million cost. An additional $110.6 million came from state and federal funding. Toll revenue will fund the remaining balance, along with costs of highway maintenance and operation of the express lanes. For convenience and cost savings, motorists can purchase an express lanes pass at www.expresstoll.com. After creating an account, a customer will receive a transponder to place inside of his or her vehicle. Tolls will be automatically deducted from the customer’s pre-paid toll account. “You don’t have to pay administrative costs,” Rollison said. “It’s easy.”

Tickets to see the Rolling Stones next year at whatever the stadium here is called go for (went for) $49 to $850 (without fees), and some special seats go for (went for) $1,600 each or more. I saw (I didn’t hear) the Beatles in Cincinnati for $9, and that was a high-end ticket at the time. I attended concerts featuring the Beach Boys and Peter, Paul and Mary for half that. The Rolling Stones were touring

all ages, possibly shirtless girls, spilled drinks, reefer madness, vomiting, and tone-deaf devotees trying to remember the words and sing along. Someone probably can tell me how many times the Rolling Stones have appeared in concert since their inception. I know there are Stones junkies who follow the band on a tour from city to city, even though the set lists are nearly identical.

I acknowledge that the crowd will provide something that listening to the Stones here in my home cannot duplicate: a kind of primal, visceral, mammoth creature, throbbing with energy and electricity. I get that same exact thrill now when I can find my car in the parking lot. I also know I would be amid rampant cellphone calls and selfies and half-smashed people of

However, I won’t be at the stadium to see them live next year for a couple of reasons. For $850, I could buy every album the Stones have ever recorded and have enough left over to buy something to play them on. The stadium seats 76,125, and I’m guessing there will be some

oyalty is earned when trust is present. Zig Ziglar always said, “Trust is a transference of feeling.” He also would focus on the two letters in the middle of the word trust, “U and S, or US,” because trust is a two-way street. So if loyalty begins with trust, and trust is about “us,” what are our expec- WINNING tations of others WORDS and how do we get to that place of mutual loyalty? Think about our own loyalty to some of our favorite brands, stores, and credit cards. Do we give our loyalty because we are getting “points” or Michael Norton “miles” or some type of reward or cash back? Are we loyalists because give us some incentive and also provide exceptional service? And lastly, have they earned our loyalty and commitment because they have earned our trust? Incentives, service, and trust, sounds like a pretty good recipe for building mutual loyalty. Some people may disagree. Some people I spoke with feel like they are trapped and held hostage by certain brands because they have so many miles or so many points. Their status is at such a level that if they started over with a different brand, they would

not get the same perks. I get that feeling, because as a very frequent traveler I used to feel the same way. It felt terrible. And then I remembered something, I am in control of the situation — which brand I choose and how I feel about the service I receive. I can choose when and if I am willing to start all over. It is on me, not them. It was a freeing thought and moment. Instead of giving momentum to the feeling of being trapped, I started to look for the level of service I was receiving. I looked at certain brands where I didn’t mind starting over. I am a loyalist at heart, I have my routines, my favorite brands, my go-to restaurants, and my local businesses that I love to support. So when I started feeling trapped and “owned” by these companies, all I did was change my thinking from being trapped to feeling lucky and privileged to have such great service and loyalty in return. For me personally, I would love to give a big shout out to United Airlines, Marriott and Hilton. It has been a long year of travel for me, and these brands all treated me to incredible service and I did not feel trapped. They made the year exceedingly more comfortable than it otherwise could have been. Many local businesses and service providers deserve a big thank you as well.

Mick Jagger did say, however, the group adjusts its thinking when they play a city like Houston versus a city like New York. I have seen concerts in Ohio, California, Arizona and Colorado. None the size that this one will be. The largest was in Ohio, at old Crosley Field, once the home of the Cincinnati Reds. As a concert, it was miserable. As a memory, it was wonderful. The Beatles were scheduled to perform on Aug. 20, 1966, in Cincinnati, but they were rained out. My date, Bev Parsley, and I were happy to hear that the Beatles truly wanted to perform for us, and had agreed to stick around and play the next day. This was debunked when I watched a documentary about their American tour that showed them in the locker room when

the public address announcer announced how delighted the lads were to stay overnight on our behalf. They rolled their eyes and shook their heads. August in southwest Ohio is almost unbearable. The humidity on Aug. 21 was about 160%. The Beatles were traveling with a half-dozen acts, and their own set lasted less than 30 minutes. Later that same day they performed in St. Louis. Eight days after that, they performed at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Then they stopped touring altogether. Like I said, the concert itself was miserable. I couldn’t hear a word, because your grandmothers screamed the entire time. And time waits for no one. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

NORTON FROM PAGE 14

Now let’s flip this whole thing around from having mutual loyalty with our favorite brands and stores to gaining commitment and mutual loyalty in our personal lives. Remember, loyalty begins with trust, trust is a transference of feeling and the most important part of trust is “us.” Is it any different? Are we providing the level of trust that our family or friends expect? Do we go out of our way to help and serve them whenever we can? Are we there for them when they need us? You see, we don’t have to give or get points, miles, or cash back when it comes to our family and friends, our reward is mutual loyalty, commitment, trust and in most cases love. Who are those people in our circle whom we know that we can count on? Who are our own go-to people? Can they count on us? If they needed something urgent or in the middle of the night would we be there for them? Do we give that same level of care and white-glove service to the people we love and care about the most?

FACCHINELLO

What can we do to keep them loyal to us, to our brand as an individual, as a spouse, as a friend and as a partner? Here’s what we can do: Look for the good and expect the best in others. And when we think about our own brand and the actions and words we may use, we need to think about how others are looking for the good and expecting the best out of us as well. And if we keep that thought top of mind, we are paving the way to mutual loyalty, commitment, trust, and love. How about you? Do you have your favorite brands where you feel great about the mutual loyalty and level of service? Or do you need to free yourself from feeling trapped? Are your personal relationships based on mutual loyalty and trust? Or could you try a little harder? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can look for the good and expect the best, establish loyalty, commitment, trust and love, it really will be a better than good week.

Barbara Jane Cannon Dittenber 11/23/1934 - 11/20/2018

Barbara Jane Cannon Dittenber of Weston Colorado passed away on Tuesday November 20th at her home 3 days before her 84th birthday. She died peacefully at home with her husband, daughters, granddaughters and step daughter that attended to her and were by her side for months. Barbara was born on 11 23 1934 to Charles and Mary Jane Cannon of Hyattsville Maryland. She lost her mother at an early age and learned to care for her 2 younger siblings Billy and Grace. She also married at a young age and had 5 children by the age of 25. She was married to Jerome Anthony Mallon and they raised their children together until all young adults. They lived on the East coast, West coast, Texas and finally settled in Littleton Colorado in 1962. While in Littleton she was a member of the South Suburban garden club and active bridge club participant. Barbara and Gene Dittenber were married in 1982 and they began their dream of building a home in “ the country” she would call it, Weston Colorado. Barbara experienced many years living in a small cabin on the property before their spectacular home was completed. She enjoyed every moment of this unique experience. Her children and grandchildren have fond memories of visiting the “the cabin” in the summer months when there was still no heat or water pumping. Barbara had many talents. She was an outstanding homemaker and cook, known for entertaining the neighbors in all her homes and neighborhoods. She made dozens of different types

of cookies every holiday season that she shared with her children and neighbors. She was an outstanding gardener of perennials plants and shrubs throughout her life. Her gardens were admired for variety and design in every season. She was also an excellent seamstress and crafter. She enjoyed knitting, needlepoint, crochet, creating jewelry, and making dolls. In her final years she found joy with coloring books of flowers and hummingbirds. She enjoyed playing all types of card and board games and most often won. We were amazed at the keen ability she had to always be the winner with seemingly little effort. Her talents were instilled into her children and grandchildren that will be cherished forever. Barbara Dittenber is survived by her husband Gene Dittenber, 5 children; Jane Mallon Friedricks of Wellington Colorado, Daniel Mallon, Maureen Mallon of Littleton Colorado, John Mallon of San Luis Obispo CA., and Darcy Dittenber of Colorado Springs CO. She is preceded in death by 2 children; Jerome Anthony Mallon Jr and Shelby Dittenber and younger brother William Cannon. She has 13 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren and also her sister Grace Smith of South Carolina. The family extends a special thanks to Sangre de Cristo Hospice and her personal private care givers. Ceremony on Saturday Jan 12th 2019, 1:30 pm at Littleton Cemetery. Gathering to follow at Southpark Clubhouse.

Tackling the tough questions with ‘What You Will’

Many already believed many other conspiracy theories, and started with the belief that 9/11 was an inside job. Their antiestablishment beliefs stretch far beyond the shape of the Earth, into a disbelief in vaccines, mass shootings and more. Many said their belief has cost them friendships, romantic relationships, and even jobs. But in other ways, flat Earthers seem to defy easy definition. Attendees at the conference were diverse: young and old, black and white, men and women. They come from a variety of backgrounds: social work, nursing, manual labor and at least one mechanical engineer.

hen we really love someone, it can be difficult to be completely honest with him or her. We’re concerned about their opinion of us and don’t want to change anything in the relationship. But confiding in a stranger who we’ll probably never see again offers COMING an exciting level of ATTRACTIONS freedom. That’s the idea local playwright Jeffrey Neuman wanted to explore in the world premiere of his play, “What You Will,” which debuted at Lakewood’s Benchmark Theatre. “Why is it that, sometimes, situational Clarke Reader intimacies can give us a sense of purpose, grounding and fulfillment, while our deepest and most long-term relationships can leave us feeling lost, wanting and in need?” he asked. “Those are questions worth exploring. Those are questions that are both human and theatrical.” Directed by Warren Sherrill and featuring Steven J. Burge, Tom Littman, Casey Andree and Maggy Stacy, “What You Will” runs through Dec. 22 at Benchmark, 1560 Teller St. Performances are 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday. The show tells the story of Adam, a 40-year-old gay man living a quiet, happy life with his husband. He owns a stationery shop and serves as a wedding planner. But when he starts interacting with a married man at his local gym, he starts questioning his life and his relationships. Neuman himself used to work in a stationery shop, where the rapport he developed with relative strangers was one of the seeds of the play. Seeing the show come to life at Benchmark has been a special thrill for Neuman, though he said, as a writer, he’s mostly hands-off. “Rehearsals are time for the director and actors to do what they do, to use their skills and talents to make the piece a living, breathing, tangible thing,” he said. “I’m not quite sure how they do it, how they create a world that lives on the stage, but I find the work that actors and directors create together, the alchemy they create, to be a magical, mystical, almost holy thing.” The show premiered Nov. 30, and Neuman said he was overwhelmed by the positive reactions from audiences. As a writer, he said he’s always been drawn to art that asks more questions than it answers, and he hopes “What You Will” fits the people for those who check it out.

Finding hope on a flat EARTH Flat Earthers endure scorn, ridicule in service of what they call a godly worldview BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ou can’t debunk Flat Earth. You might think you can. You might think it would be easy to shoot down a theory that says Earth is a flat, immobile disc covered by a dome. That space doesn’t exist. That every astronaut is a faker. But to flat Earthers, a small but growing subculture, you cannot shake their belief. “People ask the same questions over and over,” said Nathan Thompson, a leading figure in the movement, who heads Official Flat Earth & Globe Discussion, a Facebook group with more than 128,000 members that serves as the largest online meeting space for flat-earth believers. “They say we’re a cult, but the globe is the biggest cult of all,” Thompson said. Thompson was one of many speakers at the Flat Earth International Conference, held Nov. 15 and 16 at the Crowne Plaza Denver Airport Convention Center. The event was the second major conference for the movement, selling 650 tickets — far more than last year’s 200. Nonbelievers’ questions have easy answers, Thompson told attendees.

What about the moon landing? It was staged in a movie studio. What about pictures of Earth from space? Photoshopped. What about footage from the space station? Actors hanging from wires. Many flat Earthers believe they have been lied to by the establishment. The reason: to lead mankind astray from the almighty. “If we’re a speck floating in an endless void, then we don’t mean that much,” said Michael Renfro, 44, who lives in Colorado Springs. “But if you read any ancient text, that’s the opposite of what God says we are. We’re special, and we bring something to the world that’s unique. Under the dome of the flat Earth, I know God cares about us. About me.” Over conversations with numerous attendees of the conference, some trends became clear: many flat Earthers are devout Christians, who see the flat Earth as irrefutable evidence of their special place in God’s creation. Many attendees started believing the Earth was flat only in the last three years, as a slew of YouTube “documentaries” swept through social media.

Many flat Earthers call the azimuthal equidistant map projection to be the most accurate representation of the Earth. This version, produced in 1892 by Alex Gleason, was widely distributed at the Flat Earth International Conference.

Ute culture in the spotlight at History Colorado

ow open: “Written on the Land: Ute Voices, Ute History,” in development for more than four years, is open at History Colorado, 1200 Broadway, Denver. It tells a story in artifacts, SONYA’S visual, spoken and SAMPLER written history, of Colorado’s longest continuous residents — including a look at life today. The exhibit, filling major gaps in the average resident’s understanding of our state’s history, was developed in Sonya Ellingboe collaboration with representatives from the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, who shared individual histories, as well as a look at life today in authentic Ute voices. Visitors will be able to connect time periods through artifacts from the extensive museum collection, both ancient and contemporary, while sharing contemporary stories. Tickets: HistoryColorado.org.

Southwest Littleton Donation Center 5066 S. Wadsworth Blvd.

Friends and family gathered Dec. 4 at Littleton United Methodist Church to bid farewell to Dorothy Britton Mauk, who passed away on Nov. 29 at age 91.

Children and grandchildren were a major part, but she also distinguished herself in the world of sports, as well as with cultural interests. A sports writer for the Denver Post from 1962 to 1983, she is remembered as the first female sports writer who worked for a major metropolitan newspaper. She is said to have been familiar with 40 different sports disciplines and was involved with numerous related boards and organizations, which led to presiding over the Colo-

Mauk was also a charter member of the Sportswomen of Colorado, which annually presents the Dorothy Mauk Pioneer Award in her name. On a parallel track, she served as president of the Colorado Symphony Guild and was active in the Bow Mar chapter, while also active in furthering the career aspirations of upcoming musicians, aiming at a professional career. Since 1987, she had been a trustee, and twice chaired the board, of the Young Musicians Foundation of Colorado, which supports extra summer study and other opportunities that might not otherwise be available, as well as providing performance opportunities in the metro area. Mrs. Mauk also enjoyed extensive travel abroad. She is survived by her children Dalean Janes (Lonnie) of Colorado Springs; Paul Mauk of New York; and Tim Eccles (Dee Dee) of Overland Park, Kansas; as well as six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Depot Art Gallery holiday market offers perfect gifts Seasonal market includes art, ornaments, boxes, clothing, candles, more BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A charming and peaceful place to shop for almost anyone on your list! The annual holiday exhibit has a new name this season: Instead of “Holiday Express,” it’s the “Holiday Gift and Art Market.” Just inside the Depot’s door, one sees a long table filled with small gift items: tree ornaments — and a couple of small trees, as well as a variety of small ceramic items. Included: a cheese plate and pretty bowls, which would be used many times through the year by a lucky gift recipient. Notice the hand-decorated boxes. Perfect for someone who has a handful of special tiny treasures — jewelry, wee shells, special small rocks … Or they could hold letters and cards. Or … or … At the left end of the table, a few steps up lead to a stage-like platform with another long table, holding some larger ceramic platters — big enough to hold a turkey, a plum cake or lots of cookies. Up there, one will also find fused glass dishes and of course walls filled with paintings and photographs. Walls surrounding the table, and beyond — into two more gallery rooms, also hold small and miniature paintings and photographs, which are reasonably priced and would add a note of color to any home or apartment or dorm room. Some small paintings and photos are packaged to rest on a table or mantel. Sheila-Marie’s “Pretty in Pink”

The Depot Art Gallery displays ceramics, paintings, fused glass and other original arts and fine crafts at the Holiday Art and Gift Market, through December. COURTESY PHOTO scene of flamingos especially attracted me, as a longtime bird fancier — and color fancier. A couple of painted skateboards hang on the walls — one with Colorado’s trademark yellow aspens. For a recreation room? In the packed-full back room, a portion of wall and a wooden table are filled with an interesting assortment of clothing dyed with indigo dyes in the Japanese, Shiboni, technique. A sweater, blouses, scarf, shirts and especially fetching little knit onesies for babies. (They are hand-wash items — cold water.) In fact there are a whole lot of things for children this year in this space: little painted step stools, stuffed frogs and other fanciful critters — and some printed books of do-it-yourself art lessons by Ivy Delon. “Color Your Own Notecards” by Merrie Wicks come neatly packaged with a quartet of crayons — great stocking stuffer! Speaking of cards — there are a number of distinctive holiday cards on a rack, printed from original paintings. One of those is a special small gift in itself — “suitable for framing!” While in that back room, note the delicate miniature candles on the windowsill — presented in cups. One wonders how the maker can form wax into such tiny, delicate forms … (answer: very carefully, I guess!). In the middle office room, a row of built-in cabinets forms a high counter filled with handmade jewelry, made with beads of semi-precious gems, metals and sparkling glass in an array of hues. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, as well as attention-drawing brooches. Space is available for some smaller ceramic pieces here too. On a shelf above the jewelry and another by the door leading to the back room are a number of painted glass Christmas tree bulbs — fragile, but perfect for that small gift one always needs at the last minute — or for a gift exchange.

This is the perfect time and place for it,” said Boyd. “This area is already a hub for so many other things, and I just think it’s an attractive place.” Dozens of gamers like Jesse Trujillo, who has played video games competitively for six years, crowded inside the arena for an official ribbon cutting ceremony. Trujillo is a competitive Rocket League player for Hooked Esports, a professional esports team. He said Colorado was in need of an esports arena, and Localhost fills a void that existed for competitive gamers. “(Localhost) puts the competitive play out there for a lot of people who

don’t necessarily enjoy sports.

For the remaining of the month, Localhost will be open from noon to midnight every day of the week. “We’re excited to be creating a location in Denver for Localhost Arena that will not only serve the local esports and gaming communities on a daily basis, but will also attract events and tournaments from out-of-state organizers,” Chief Experience Officer for N3rd Street Gamers Ryan Barr said.

The Thanksgiving wedding is imminent and a rush order is soon on its way, while Adam and Celia pour some champagne and continue to talk about this and that in a friendly, relaxed manner — all would seem to be well with the world — almost, but there’s always a bit of tension hanging at the edges. The skill of director Warren Sherrill is important to the way this production flows, as he builds cross-currents written into the script by awardwinning playwright Neuman, who has written a number of plays and served as a dramaturg in the Denver area. Sherill’s director’s notes speak about how evasive a definition of marriage can be — does it have different meanings for different people? Do couples even talk about it? After work, Adam stops at the gym

to exercise and relax in the usually empty steam room, which he describes as “comfortably tepid.” But on this day, he meets a self-assured Nick (Casey Andree) who chats a bit and comes on to Adam. Nick also says he’s been married for some time and talks about his wife … The skill of director Warren Sherrill is important to the way this production flows, as he builds cross-currents written into the script.

As the play moves on, the living room becomes a home for another couple, with different interactions — contrasting scene.

Director’s skillful manipulation again … Another sort of showtime brings on the perfectly dressed bride and groom near the end. Will anyone live happily ever after? My friend especially noted how well the background music carried the story along. (Sound design by Rachel Rogers.) A great feature of this new theatre company, founded by excellent actors Haley Johnson (Centennial) and Rachel Rogers, will be the selection of plays we haven’t seen before. Neuman, a company member, will assist in choices as director of literary management. Next, in mid-January will be “Wakey, Wakey” by Will Eno (Jan. 18-Feb. 16, 2019) — a funny and moving contemplation of a good, long life. The entire next year will be a series of regional premieres, plus the third “Fever Dream Festival” which will be an annual new play festival of sci-fi, horror and fantasy plays in the fall.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

Samantha Botts has donated about 2,000 ounces of milk since becoming a donor in May. SHANNA FORTIER

Mothers’ Milk Bank collects milk for preemies on Colorado Gives Day The event collected 2,545 ounces of human milk BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a unique way to give back, breastfeeding moms across the metro area donated 2,545 ounces of their milk through the first Pump for Preemies event, held Dec. 4 on Colorado Gives Day. Mothers’ Milk Bank, a branch of the Arvada-based Rocky Mountains Children Health Foundation that collects and pasteurizes human milk to support the healthy development of premature and fragile babies across the nation, hosted the milk drive. Arvada resident Samantha Botts, who has been a milk donor since May, was one of the participants. She dropped off 35 pounds of human milk during the event. “If I have extra to give, then why not?” Botts said. “Helping moms that can’t produce and babies that need milk is the best. You feel just amazing that you’re helping so many people across Colorado and, especially, people who need it.” More than 90 percent of Mothers’ Milk Bank’s milk donations directly serve premature babies in hospital settings, said Laraine Lockhart-Borman, the milk bank’s outreach director. “And it’s our mission to make sure every baby who needs milk to survive receives it,” she said. “We accomplish this with the help of hundreds of new donors across the country every year. Many moms don’t realize how much

HOW TO DONATE

Women who are currently or have recently finished lactating are encouraged to donate their surplus milk. Ideal candidates for milk donors are non-smoking women in good health who take limited or no medications and herbal supplements. Interested donors fill out a medical

their milk can help: It takes only one ounce of human milk to feed a micropreemie for one day in the hospital.” Botts gave birth to her daughter in January. While at the hospital, she received a bottle of donated milk before she was able to produce her own. This act led her to becoming a donor once she started producing more than what her baby needed. To date, she has donated about 2,000 ounces. That experience also led her husband, Adam Botts, an MBA student at University of Colorado-Denver, to think of the milk bank when his class was given the assignment to create a project that addressed a social dilemma. Together with classmate Erin Lowdon, the two created the Pump for Preemies event. The goal was to spread the word about milk donation, get new donors and remind current donors to bring in milk. Abby Malman Case, international board-certified lactation consultant and manager of donor relations at Mothers’ Milk Bank, said that although a need for donor milk always exists, the timing of the event was important because with a higher rate of births during winter months, the number of preemies needing milk rises. “Because the population that is able to donate is small, when you look at the grand scheme, having events like this really gets information out there about the importance of donating milk, how to donate milk and just builds awareness around that,” Malman Case said. “Having a specific event builds community and excitement.” history form and complete a quick blood draw. The donated milk is pasteurized and distributed to hospitals. To become a donor or check your eligibility, visit rmchildren.org/mothers-milk-bank/ donate-milk/.

Their political beliefs are wide ranging as well: some voted for Clinton, others for Trump, though many said voting is a useless enterprise — part of a mass deception. Ask flat Earthers who’s behind the deception, and you’ll get a variety of answers. Freemasons, Rockefellers, the Catholic church, “globalists” — though many agree there’s one puppetmaster: Satan. “Satan is behind everything,” said Allan Spencer, a public school music teacher from California. “He’s in media, government and the education system.” “It’s so much easier for Satan to rule if we believe we’re worthless,” said Taumi Hardersen, 35, who started a Colorado Springs-area meetup group for flat Earthers. “Flat Earth has woken me up to so many lies.” Like many flat Earthers, Hardersen has suffered backlash for her beliefs. “My best friend from childhood disowned me,” Hardersen said. “It was refreshing, in a weird way. It brings out people’s true nature. Somebody who has that much hate toward different beliefs, I don’t need them in my life. I’ve made so many new friends in the movement anyway.” Hardersen said she’s raising her two daughters, ages 5 and 8, in her beliefs, though she worries about the influence of public school. “People are downright mean,” said Cindy Gruender, of Windsor, who

wore a sash reading “Miss Flat Earth” — an appellation she took as a point of pride after it was jeeringly given to her at a church she no longer attends. “I’ve been called an idiot, stupid, a heretic,” Gruender said. She stays steadfast, though, because “the scripture says you must stand for the truth. I don’t back down.” Flat Earth is a fascinating phenomenon, said Jean-Francois Mayer, an internationally-renowned researcher of new religious movements, who flew

from Switzerland in part to attend the conference. “This is not a cult,” Mayer said. “This is a network of like-minded people, who have come together with the zeal of new converts to enjoy a place where they don’t feel ostracized. They want to be seen as people with inquisitive minds who are interested in scientific truth.” Coming to the conference was a thrilling experience for most attendees, especially those who face disdain

Brothers Kevin and Jeff Diaz said it’s encouraging seeing the flat Earth movement flourish. Jeff has studied flat Earth theories for years, long before the movement exploded in 2015. DAVID GILBERT at home. “It’s been so hurtful to endure the gossip and insults from my classmates and family,” said Summer Loewen, 14, who came to the conference from Alberta, Canada, with her sister. Loewen’s immediate family members are flat earthers. “Here, I feel safe to open up, to have discussions, and to learn,” Loewen said. “It’s deepening my relationship with God. I’m really growing here.”

South Denver Heart Center works to diagnose and treat women with heart disease SPONSORED CONTENT Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women worldwide. However, oftentimes symptoms in female patients are overlooked or misunderstood and treatment is delayed. Dr. Cinthia Bateman, an interventional cardiologist with South Denver Cardiolo Cardiology Associates in Littleton, was the driving force behind devel developing a full Women’s Heart Program at South Denver Cardi Cardiology. Bateman said the goal is to recog recognize that women do have heart disease symptoms just like men, and aggresDr. Cinthia Bateman sively work to test and treat symptoms before something major happens. “For women with heart disease, the symptoms aren’t necessarily different from a man, but the issue is with how those symptoms are perceived,” Bateman said. “When a woman has pain, fatigue, upper back pain and chest pains they say it’s nothing. They say they are tired. They say they worked out and are sore. So often, women will just blow off the symptoms completely. They do it a lot more than men do.” While some women have no symptoms of heart disease, others experience angina, or sharp chest pain and discomfort, pain in the neck, jaw and throat or pain in

the upper abdomen or back. These may occur during rest, begin during physical activity, or be triggered by mental stress. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 4 women in the U.S. die from heart disease each year. However, despite the statistics, the CDC estimates only 54 percent of women recognize that heart disease is their number one killer. “I remember even in my training believing that women were just low risk for heart disease,” said Bateman. “Women don’t act differently, but we as professionals have just not been as aggressive as we should be in testing and addressing it. At South Denver Cardiology, we are paying attention, we are educating our patients. When a woman comes in, we focus on their risk factors, and for those that raise red flags and concerns - we are doing the appropriate tests to see what is really

going on.” The risk factors for women with heart disease include: • High blood pressure • High LDL cholesterol • Smoking • Diabetes • Overweight and obesity • Poor diet • Physical inactivity • Excessive alcohol use Bateman said the risk doubles for women who smoke. Pointing to her younger patients who have had heart attacks, Bateman said almost all of them smoke. If left undiagnosed and untreated, heart disease could turn into a heart attack, stroke or heart failure. Bateman said its important to diagnose women before the worst happens. At South Denver Cardiology, Bateman

said they focus not just on prescribing medication, but on getting individualized plans set for each patient. “We have a great cardiac rehab program,” she said. “We focus on health and wellness, exercise programs, nutrition programs and really making the patient feel like they are part of a family. The biggest thing I need to stress, and the biggest thing we always must address, is that we need to live healthier. Patients are taught about the importance of exercise, cutting calories and not to just automatically turn to procedures and medication.” Besides working with patients on nutrition, exercise and overall healthy living, Bateman said they also provide support through not only the South Denver Cardiology staff, but through support groups, which becomes important for patients suffering from depression and those needing a team atmosphere to make a lifestyle change. “It’s an amazing feeling when a patient follows the prescribed exercise and nutrition plan and they help themselves get well,” Bateman said. “I always tell my patients that we are doing our job as doctors when we don’t have to see them every six months. We are doing our jobs when the worst doesn’t happen.” Learn more about South Denver Cardiology Associates and the South Denver Heart Center by visiting the website at https://www.southdenver.com/.

LaBrash adds maturity to repertoire

Heritage senior wing Lucas LaBrash is the hockey team’s captain.

Hockey player grows to become team captain for Heritage BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Heritage hockey coach Jeremy Simms could never imagine Lucas LaBrash being a team captain. That was few years ago, but LaBrash has changed from being a little bit of a selfish player who wasn’t a team player. The fouryear letterman is now the Eagles’ leader and the Eagles’ captain this season. “I think I’ve matured a lot throughout my full four years of being here,” said LaBrash. “Even from last year I matured a lot because I had to step

up. Hockey is fast-paced, aggressive and takes a lot of skill to play. I’ve always kind of been a playmaker but I like scoring goals too.” He says being a team leader became easier as he got older. “It wasn’t tough,” he answered when asked about how tough it was to become a leader. “I just had to grow up. I said, `It is my senior year and I have to take control of the team.’ Everyone on the team is your friend but sometimes you have to be hard with them whether or not they are going to like what you are saying.”

JIM BENTON

Q&A with Lucas Labrash Who is your favorite athlete and why? Joe Sakic. He coached me when I was little and he’s just a good role model. What would be a perfect performance in your sport? Score two goals, get an assist and get a win. What is your favorite class in school and why? Got to go with gym. It’s the only class I get to be moving in during the day. Who or what makes you excel? My parents (Katie and Scott) for sure.

What do you like to do away from sports and school? I’m pretty active. I wakeboard, snowboard and play golf. I’m decent at golf but not competitive. What are your plans after high school? I want to go to CSU and try out for their Division II hockey team and see where it goes from there. How essential is it for a hockey player to be defensive minded? The defensive zone is just as important if not more than the offense. It is easy to score goals but it’s not easy to stop the scoring.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s got great scoring skills and good touch with the puck. His big thing is putting a lot of pucks on the net. He gets right around the net. He’s a good solid player. He’s helping run our power play because he is the guy we want handling the puck. It’s been a great experience watching his growth into the hockey player he’s become.’ Jeremy Simms, Heritage hockey coach

Key stats | GLaBrash had five points in seven games before sustaining a knee injury requiring surgery.

Looking back at strong showings in fall season

now and cold weather was l around for the kickoffs dur- p ing the last few games of the football season, but the a winter sports season has started m and all games/ s matches are OVERTIME C inside. So let it snow, leto s it snow. The fall season Y was successful t for teams and individuals from f schools in the Col- h orado Community 4 Media circulation b Jim Benton area as many did s well in state playoff competition. So for anybody who might have l w forgotten, here is a review of the h fall season in no particular order Mountain Vista’s girls captured their second consecutive Class 5A team title and junior Jenna Fitzsimmons won her second straight individual championship. Cherry Creek’s girls were second. Mountain Vista’s boys were also runners-up in the 5A race and Valor Christian’s Cole Sprout was the individual state winner for the second year in a row. Lakewood, led by Ryan Liao, was the first-round leader and wound up second in the 5A boys state golf tournament, while Arapahoe came in third. Cherry Creek was second in the field hockey championships, losing 2-1 in overtime to Regis Jesuit, and the Bruins’ boys team was second behind Regis in the state tennis tournament. Pomona continued its gymnastics dominance and won the 5A state team championship for the fourth straight season. Lakewood senior Amber Boll swept all individual events and won the vault with a perfect 10.0 score. In boys soccer, No. 8 Arapahoe won five playoff games by a combined score of 7-1. The Warriors edged top-seeded Fairview, 1-0, in the quarterfinals, won a scoreless semifinal shootout against Broomfield and then beat Grandview 2-1 for state title. Defending champion Legend, seeded sixth, beat top-seeded Cherokee Trail 8-4 to secure the 5A softball title. Holy Family was the 3A winner with a 10-3 win over Mountain View. The Tigers allowed just six runs in four games. In the 2A tourney, Faith Christian dropped a 6-2 semifinal tiff to eventual state champ Strasburg.

LeCompte, Hedges are softball standouts Legend, ThunderRidge athletes chosen as pitcher, player of year BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amanda Hedges was the hitting leader and Zoey LeCompte handled the pitching. Those two players were the standouts and two of the best players in the south metro area during the softball season. Hedges, a ThunderRidge senior shortstop, was named the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Player of the Year and LeCompte, a Legend senior, was selected as the Pitcher of the Year. In 25 games this season Hedges led the Continental League in all seven offensive categories. She hit .598 with nine home runs, a 1.268 slugging percentage, 47 runs batted in, 45 runs scored, .646 onbase percentage and 21 stolen bases. Hedges, who has signed to play softball at Northern Colorado, was the league’s Player of the Year and ﬁnished with a ThunderRidge career best of 12 home runs. “I’m very happy with the season,”

Legend’s Zoey LeCompte had 68 strikeouts and finished with a 17-4 record. PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON

ThunderRidge’s Amanda Hedges hit .598, with nine home runs and 47 runs batted in.

said Hedges. “I’m overall happy with the season and the way I played. The batting average was the statistic that meant the most to me because I was hitting over .600 but finished the season at .598 which is the highest I’ve ever hit. “I really worked hard on my swing this season and it showed how much it paid off. I basically changed the mechanics of my swing. My dad is my hitting coach and he had me change my stance and how I held the bat.”

LeCompte pitched 115 innings in 26 games during the season and had a 3.96 earned-run average with 68 strikeouts and finished with a 17-4 record. She was clutch late in the season in leading the Titans to the 5A state championship. She was 9-0 in the Continental League, 2-0 in the regionals and 4-0 in the state tournament. “She might not have had the lowest ERA but she kept us in games,” said Legend coach Kristian Shirk. “She was

the backbone of our team. “ LeCompte has signed to play softball at Memphis but will probably always remember the second half on the softball season when the Titans rallied from a slow start to win 17 straight games and the state title. “I am happy because at the beginning of the season I struggled a little bit and definitely had to work extra hard in practice,” said LeCompte. “I had to reflect pretty harshly on myself after games and on my performance to make sure that I was doing the best I could for my team. “Being a leader and a pitcher, you are thinking: `This is my team, I have to carry them,’ and that was difﬁcult to think about when you are trying everything you can. It just took some time. I am proud of myself for maintaining a cool head in tough situations and I’m happy to have my teammates there to help me through. I am a very emotional player and sometimes that can get to me but my teammates helped calm me down. “I will always remember those final games with it being my senior year and the most important games I’ve ever played. It was the best time in my life to be able to get to play softball with friends from school during my senior year.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The arts are a strong part of the Arian aspect, with music becoming more dominant. An important decision looms as a longtime relationship takes an unexpected turn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Surrounding yourself with beautiful things helps restore the Taurean soul. Enjoy an art exhibit, for example. Or redecorate your personal space with something truly splendid. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Some colleagues might try to talk you out of what they insist is a risk, but which you consider an opportunity. As usual, follow your own good sense when making your decision. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A workplace change you might have worried about soon proves to be highly favorable for the clever Crab who is ready to take advantage of new opportunities opening up. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations. Your Leonine pride is polished to a dazzling new brilliance thanks to your success in winning support for your new project from even the most doubtful of detractors. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unsettling rumor about a colleague’s apparently regrettable behavior is soon proved groundless, allowing you to enjoy the upcoming end-ofyear festivities in a happy mood.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your success in helping to create a harmonious environment out of a chaotic situation earns you the admiration of someone who could become an important new presence in your life. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your Scorpion’s sense of loyalty could find you leading a passionate defense of a loved one you feel is being unfairly treated. The week’s end brings long-awaited family news. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your keen instincts are once more on high alert as you find yourself being pressured to make a quick decision about a certain matter. More facts come to light by week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) An unexpected workplace development could disrupt some family plans. A full explanation, however, averts domestic discord. A financial matter continues to need attention. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Spend time away from distractions to reassess some recent moves that might not have worked out as you had hoped. What you learn could be invaluable for future decision-making. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A recent act of kindness is a reminder of how important your friends are to you. You might want to show your appreciation by hosting a special preNew Year’s party just for them. BORN THIS WEEK: You always try to do your best, which sometimes causes you to be critical of those who don’t live up to your standards. © 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

Upgrading your bathtub to a shower system can prevent fall-related injuries The National Aging in Place Council suggests that eliminating an old bathtub for a walkin shower can greatly increase bathroom safety and end fall-related injuries. The study also recommends switching to a handheld showerhead and installing grab bars to increase bathing safety.

ost seniors want to stay in their homes, but bathing safely and independently can become increasingly difficult with age. Transforming your bathtub/shower combination into a walkin shower can be an ideal solution. Dreamstyle Remodeling offers a new shower solution, featuring Kohler products, that fits directly into the existing tub space and has been engineered specifically for safety, cleanliness and retaining independence while bathing. Dreamstyle Remodeling’s walk-in showers benefit from over 140 years of Kohler engineering and bathroom innovation. This long-term innovation means the showers are more than just function, they’re built for aesthetics as well, and designed specifically to enhance a home’s unique beauty. As a company, Dreamstyle Remodeling acknowledges it’s tough to be faced with bathing difficulties in your own home – but that shouldn’t have to detract from your quality of life. The customizable showers come with a variety of features as well, so the bathroom can be personalized with ideal fixtures – things like Kohler’s Choreograph walls, which are made of natural marble in any pattern imaginable, and custom accessories like shelves, seating, sleek faucets, and the option of an Awaken handshower kit – a removable handheld showerhead with different spray options and easy access if bathing has become difficult.

For your free in-home shower consultation call 303-222-5252

Don’t let yourself or your loved one become a statistic: bathingrelated falls are no joke. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 360,000-480,000 older adults sustain fall-related fractures each year, often resulting in hospitalization. For a limited time only, Dreamstyle Remodeling is offering a free, in home consultation with a special introductory offer of 20% OFF MSRP a complete shower system.
