Local businessman Joe Coors Jr. dies at 74 Longtime Applewood resident, CoorsTek leader passed away last Thursday By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Joe Coors, Jr., a businessman and onetime congressional candidate, died Sept. 15 at the age of 74. He was the great grandson of Adolph

Coors, founder of the beer empire that began with a brewery in Golden in 1873. Spanning a career with CoorsTek Inc. — beginning in 1973 according to the company website Coors — Joe Coors held numerous positions with the company, including president, CEO and chairman of the board. He retired in 2000 when he was 58.

“Joe was an adept business leader in so many ways, but is probably best remembered for his ability to build relationships, find creative solutions to problems and infect others with his can-do-attitude,” said brother John Coors, current chairman of CoorsTek, in a statement posted on the company’s website. “He was a great inspiration and friend to me and scores of others,” John Coors said. “I will miss him.” Don Ytterberg, chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party, said Coors

— a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for the 7th Congressional District — loved Colorado and he loved Jefferson County. “He was a great community member and a great Coloradan,” Ytterberg said. “His family’s philanthropic work is almost legendary.” Coors had been involved with a number of Colorado-based nonprofit organizations. Coors was born in Philadelphia in Coors continues on Page 5

ITT Tech students put focus on future Local community colleges offer transfer information to students of closed for-proﬁt college By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Galloping for Golden schools Nonproﬁt foundation has 11th annual race to raise money for schools By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com The primary mission of the Golden Schools Foundation is to ensure every student in Golden is successful and has access to high quality education. “Every student, every year, is important,” said Lauree Valverde, vice chair of the foundation. “They’re all Golden kids. It’s important to support each and every one of them.”

The Golden Schools Foundation is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization that raises and distributes money to the community’s neighborhood articulation schools — Kyffin, Mitchell, Pleasant View, Shelton, Ralston and Welchester elementary schools, Bell Middle School and Golden High School. Thirty-two percent of the foundation’s total funds, $28,000, for the 2015-16 academic year came from direct donations and 68 percent came from the foundation’s Golden Gallop event. The Golden Gallop is in its 11th year and remains as the foundation’s main fundraiser. It takes place this year on Sept. 25, with the start line underneath Golden’s welcome arch

downtown on Washington Avenue. Last year, the race attracted 1,058 runners, and even more are anticipated this year, said Kimberly Brock, the foundation’s board chair. “As the Gallop continues to grow and attract new runners, our opportunities to invest in Golden’s schools grow,” Brock said. “It’s wonderful to see the community coming together for such an important cause.” Last year, according to numbers provided by the Golden Schools Foundation, 46 percent — 482 participants — were 19 or younger. Forty-five percent, or 474 runners, were 20 to 49 years old. Since its beginning six years ago,

Thomas Westbrook had a feeling something was wrong at ITT Technical Institute earlier this year. “A few of us had an inkling something was fishy because they stopped taking new students in,” the Westminster resident said. He said school staff would get defensive when asked if there were problems. Westbrook was one quarter shy of earning an associate’s degree in network systems administration at ITT Tech’s Westminster campus, one of two Denverarea campuses of the for-profit college that closed on Sept. 6 after being barred ITT Tech continues on Page 4

HEIDI EVERSLEY

40 West artist with work at the Denver Art Museum

About me My family has roots in Colorado and has been here for several generations, but I was born in Seattle, Washington. We moved back to Denver when I was a toddler. My husband Richard and I feel so fortunate to live in Lakewood, such a beautiful place to raise our children, and I love to enjoy the great Colorado outdoors. My art I have been an artist since I was a teenager. My first influence was my sister, Suzanne Williams, who is also an artist. Growing up, we were always involved in some sort of art project. I’ve always been interested in art because it allows me to express ideas, emotions and realities that can be expressed no other way. Creating art is essential for my own well-being. I have stylistically always been an experimenter exploring from an odd angle, perspective or depth to create something intersectional. As an artist, through the years, I have journeyed through many traditional media. I have a fine arts degree with a concentration in printmaking and ceramics, which later evolved into painting and sculpture before it entered the digital realm and into motion art. On display at the Denver Art Museum I participated in a Motion Arts exhibition at the Niza Knoll gallery in the Sante Fe Arts District in February 2016. Representatives from the Denver Art Museum attended the show and invited me to

Courtesy photo participate in the visiting artist program in the Movement Studio at the museum. As a visiting artist at the Denver Art Museum and part of the demo artist program, I felt honored and extremely excited to have the opportunity to engage with the public on the topic of art and the importance of art in our daily lives. What I loved most about the experience is the range of people who were interested and involved in the conversation, many of whom participated in a visitor art project I had set up. The power of art Art is a positive force that connects people to ideas and to each other through the past, present and future. It fosters understanding in a way that other forms of communication can’t. Art can connect, heal, bring balance and be an important start to finding solutions to problems and difficulties of our time.

‘He had cheated death so many times’ Arvada family finally reunited with son, who died fighting ISIS in Syria

Levi Shirley of Arvada died July 14 while fighting ISIS with the Kurdish People’s Protection Units in Syria. He was 24. His body was finally returned home Sept. 16. Courtesy photo

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com Susan Shirley said receiving the body of her fallen son, Levi “Jack” Shirley, early Friday morning brought mixed emotions. “It hurt a lot,” the Arvada resident said. “It makes it (his death) real in a way that it wasn’t.” It also brought a sense of relief, she said. After weeks of strenuous planning on the part of several departments in the U.S. and abroad, the bodies of Levi Shirley and two other Americans, including one from Castle Rock, finally made it home. All three died fighting ISIS with the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), a militia group in Syria. By Sunday afternoon, Shirley’s emotions had quieted to some degree. “I’m not crying at the moment,” she said. “So that’s good.” All three bodies were flown from Amman, Jordan, to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Because of weight limits on domestic flights, they were transported by Amtrak after arriving in the U.S. The body of William Savage, 27, of Maryland, was transported to where his father lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. The bodies of Levi, 24, and Jordan MacTaggart, 22, of Castle Rock, arrived at Union Station in Denver at approximately 7:40 a.m. on Sept. 16. The office of Congressman Ed Perlmutter coordinated plans to bring the men home. It meant acting as a liaison between the YPG, embassy personnel in Amman and the Iraqi cities of Erbil amd Baghdad, and the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C. “These three young men — Levi, Jordan and William — felt a need to serve which led them to fight ISIS overseas,” Perlmutter said in a written statement. “Though they did not fight as members of our armed forces, they are Americans and as Americans we have a

responsibility to bring these young men home and to give the families relief and closure.” Susan Shirley, Levi’s mother, said this will help her family begin the lifelong process of grieving and healing from the loss of Levi. The family had originally planned a memorial for Levi in August. “We didn’t know if he’d even ever be back,” she said. Susan recalled learning about Levi’s death on July 19, days after he had died on July 14. It is the call Susan said she’ll never forget. At home, writing on her computer, she had started a normal day. “I had one paragraph left,” she said. “And the phone rings.” She answered to a man who said he was from the consulate in Turkey. “It in no way seemed possible because he had cheated death so many times,” she said. Susan described Levi as her fearless son, who was never deterred by things that scared the average person. His childhood dream was to play for the Chicago Bears, until an acci-

dent injured his arm. Robert and Melissa MacTaggart said their son Jordan, who died Aug. 3, was someone who cared for people his entire life. Watching the horrendous crimes ISIS committed against people in the Middle East propelled him to go to Syria. “He knew where he wanted to help and he knew who he wanted to help,” Robert said. “We are just incredibly proud of our son,” Melissa said. His act opened their eyes, Robert said, to the bigger issues going on in the world. Both families expressed immense respect for the Kurds, who paid for the entire cost of transporting the three men back to the U.S., and helped navigate transportation across dangerous borders in the Middle East. Going through this experience with the Shirleys made the process easier, Melissa said. “We thought we were really kind of alone in this,” she said. “And to find out that there was another family right here in Colorado, not even an hour away from us, was just really amazing.”

Lions Club Selling Just 300 Raffle Tickets for a Harley The Golden Lions Club, of which I’m a member, is once again raffling off a HarleyDavidson Road King motorcycle. Here’s a picture of it. You can see the bike itself on display at the Buffalo Rose Saloon, 1119 Washington Avenue, in downtown Golden. There are already five of these motorcycles on the road that were won in previous Golden Lions Club raffles. Maybe this is your year! Only 300 tickets at $100 each are being sold, and 1 in 300 is your longest odds — it could be even better since state law requires that a winner be drawn at 8 pm on Oct. 29 even if all tickets are not sold. You can purchase your ticket from Lion Ed

Dorsey, who can be reached at 303-829-5195 or at GoldenLionsClubHarley@yahoo.com, or from any club member, including me. Whoever wins this Harley is not the only winner. The rest of us win, too, because all proceeds of the raffle are spent on community betterment projects, a short list of which can be viewed at www.GoldenLionsRaffle.org.

preventing individual members from engaging in practices which would bring down the property values of everyone — including themselves. HOA’s are created to enforce those covenants. Some subdivisions have been created with covenants but no HOA. Without an HOA, you’d have to initiate a civil action (lawsuit) against a neighbor to make him or her abide by the covenants, and many of those covenants expired after, say, 30 years and required a majority vote of all homeowners to reinstitute them. When a subdivision has, say, 50 or fewer homeowners, it is common for them to be selfmanaged, but larger subdivisions with developer-created HOAs almost always have a management company which collects the dues, pays the bills for various maintenance functions, and performs management functions for the elected board of directors.

There is almost always an “architectural review committee” consisting of fellow homeowners, which is tasked with creating and updating the paint palette for the neighborhood (and approving exceptions to it) and approving or denying requests for other exterior changes. This irritates many homeowners, but again it is justified in terms of protecting the “look and feel” of the neighborhood and preserving home values. Most irksome to homeowners are those fellow HOA members who appoint themselves as enforcers of the covenants and file complaints with the HOA for any little violation they spot. Rita and I have received letters about covenant violations from our HOA triggered by the complaint of one such neighbor. The management company also has an inspector cruise the neighborhood regularly looking for violations, such as peeling or faded paint.

the foundation now has a great blend of awards, grants and programs it is able to give back to schools, Valverde said. In its first year, the foundation gave $2,700 to schools through enrichment grants — the foundation’s sole program at the time. In the 2015-16 academic year, funds for the enrichment grants alone totaled $16,000. Enrichment grants are awarded annually. They help support student enrichment activities and

September 22, 2016 programs in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math, plus non-STEM programs that support innovative teaching and learning. Moreover, an additional $12,500 funded the foundation’s other programs — teacher recognition awards, teaching excellence programs for Golden’s educators and summer academic boot camps for students. “It’s significant how we’re supported by the community,” Valverde said, “and how we’re able to help.” The newest implementation that the foundation boasts is the Academic Summer Boot Camps —supplemental education

by the Department of Education from accepting federal student aid and loans in August. About 430 students attended ITT Tech in the area, mostly at a campus in Aurora. Nationally, more than 40,000 students attended the school at its 130 campuses. ITT Tech could not be reached for comment. The school’s website does not list a phone number at which officials can be contacted, and a phone number that previously was promoted as a way to contact the school no longer was in service. Since the shutdown, the Colorado Community College System has taken steps to inform displaced students of their option for continuing education. Westbrook was one of two former ITT students who attended an information session at the Westminster Campus of Front Range Community College on Sept. 17. Because ITT wasn’t regionally accredited, transferring credits to a community college is not simple. Howard

programs offered to students in the summer, free of charge. Boot camps reinforce the importance of learning, and fine-tune necessary skills, said Kelly Johnson, the foundation’s Golden High School liaison. “Students leave boot camp with a better appreciation of their educational opportunities,” she said. A science boot camp launched in August 2015 for students entering seventh grade at Bell Middle School. And this year, on Aug. 5, about 60 students attended a new Advanced Placement (AP) Boot Camp at Golden High School. The AP Boot Camp is the brainchild of AP human geog-

Fukaye, Arapahoe Community College’s director of student recruitment and outreach, said the college’s departments will analyze students’ coursework from ITT to see what can be accepted. “We’re a lot different type of entity than ITT Tech,” he said. Bitsy Cohn, director of credit for prior learning for the Colorado Community College System, said there are ways besides directly transferring credits that ITT Tech students’ prior learning can be assessed, such as portfolio reviews, challenge tests and assessments of workforce or military experience. “We want to make sure they get some credit for what they’ve learned,” she said. Former ITT students also have the option of discharging their student loans, but they cannot do so if they transfer credit to another school. ITT Tech had faced criticism for its marketing strategies and for leaving students with high levels of debt upon graduation. Westbrook said he was told by recruiters that with an ITT degree, he would make more money than with a degree from a community college. Fukaye said the school was known for targeting unemployed people and those who were uneducated about the higher education system, with infomercials on

raphy teachers Mike Mendoza and Onessia Anderson, and was completely funded by the Golden Schools Foundation. Because of its success, the foundation plans to offer it every summer to students new to AP courses. Upon completion of an AP course and successfully passing its exam, Johnson said, depending on where a student goes, he or she may earn college credit while still in high school. However, AP courses require in-depth reading skills and higher-level writing, Johnson said. Students generally do a deeper and broader investigation into a topic area than what is required in normal coursework. “It can be a lot for students to

adapt to,” Johnson said. But “we know that students who take AP classes are more likely to go on and complete college.” The Golden Gallop has grown to become a well-established race that attracts elite runners and Golden families, Valverde said. And as long as it remains popular and the cost to put it on doesn’t outweigh the benefits, it will be the most fun way for the community to support the Golden Schools Foundation, she said. “Each time someone registers for the Golden Gallop, those dollars go to Golden schools and students,” she said. “I think Golden residents should be very proud of that.”

ITT TECH CLOSES AFTER FEDERAL AID REVOKED ITT Technical Institute closed its doors on Sept. 6 after it was barred by the U.S. Department of Education from accepting federal aid and loans in August. The DOE took steps after ITT Tech’s accreditor, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, ruled that the for-proﬁt college is not in compliance with its accreditation criteria.

daytime or late-night TV and recruiters at government work centers. However, the tuition at ITT Tech was significantly higher than at community colleges, he said, reaching about $5,000 per quarter, compared to $1,745 per semester for a full-time student at ACC. Only small numbers of former ITT Tech students have attended information sessions at area community colleges since the shutdown. While no more open houses are planned, Cohn said more inquiries may trickle in during coming months. Westbrook said he will likely enroll at Front Range Community College in a computer-related field.

“Our responsibility is ﬁrst and foremost to protect students and taxpayers,” U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. said in a statement. “Looking at all of the risk factors, it’s clear that we need increased ﬁnancial protection and that it simply would not be responsible or in the best interest of students to allow ITT to continue enrolling new students who rely on federal student aid funds.”

WHERE TO TURN? The Colorado Community College System has reached out to former ITT Tech students to inform them of their options for continuing their education at a community college. More information about enrolling in a community college can be found at www.coloradocommunity colleges.com/go

Big Colorado Mills supports small business Mall makes room for local business

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com When a shopper heads to the mall, there usually isn’t much in the way of surprises. There are going to be the same dozen or so big box anchors and most of the same smaller shops. At Colorado Mills, south of I-70 and Colfax Avenue, shoppers will still find the businesses familiar to everyone. But they’ll also find one-of-a-kind local businesses that bring a feeling of community to the mall. “We’re proud of the local businesses we have here at Colorado Mills,” said Brenda Cleary, the mall’s director of marketing and business development. “Consumers have a desire to support local business because the products come from their area and the customer service is so personalized.” The mall is home to 200 retailers, 35 of which are locally owned. A lot of community buy-in exists from these kinds of businesses and even local locations of large franchises, said Pam Bales, president and CEO of The West Chamber. About 110 of the chamber’s 820 members are in the Colorado Mills and Denver West area, including the Stevenison auto dealerships and Yard House. “The area is a very big economic driver,” she said. “From the chamber’s standpoint, we love having them there.” Colorado Mills will continue to work with local businesses to ensure the mall retains that hometown feel,” Cleary said. “We want customers to have a unique experience with shops besides the national brands.” Colorado Community Media visited three of Colorado Mills’ local businesses to see what they bring to the mall and how they fit into the culture. A Borgata A Borgata specializes in products and crafts from local artisans — everything from candles to clothing and artwork to Colorado-themed gifts. Store owner Pennie Gaudi worked in the corporate arena for years before deciding to sell everything and start her own business. “We started with the work of 50 artisans, and now work with more than 300 between Colorado Mills, Conifer

Coors later transferred to North Carolina State University where he earned a bachelor’s of science in applied mathematics in 1964. In 2012, Coors, a Republican, ran against U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, for Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, but lost the race by more than 40,000 votes.

Cleveland Creek Cleveland Creek is owned by Geoff Cleveland and brings home-built wood furniture and rustic décor to the mall. All the furniture is made by Cleveland (with the help of his wife and children) from standing dead aspen, juniper and

pine, and reclaimed wood. “We harvest our own wood and do all the building ourselves,” Cleveland said. “From cutting down the wood to the final product, it’s all us. And if we can’t build it, we find it local.” Cleveland Creek started as a wholesale retailer about 15 years ago, before switching to primarily retail. The business has been in the mall for about nine years. Cleveland said the biggest challenge is also the biggest benefit — location. “We’ve had to move to five different spots in the mall, which can make it hard for customers to find us,” Cleveland said. “At the same time, we get a lot of walk-by traffic, and being right off I-70 is great because we have a lot of customers who are on the way to the mountains.”

Kataluma Chai Kataluma Chai’s specialty is right there in the name. The café sells coffee and some baked goods, but the chai is where it shines, said 24-year-old owner Mailie Medina. She started out as a barista at Kataluma, and worked there for 12 years before taking over ownership a year ago. “We have hundreds of chai flavors here that we make ourselves,” she said. “We can do it any way the customer — hot, iced, blended and even milkshakes.” Kataluma has been in the mall since the year after it opened in 2002, and has built up a loyal customer base who like the taste and supporting a local business. “I think Colorado is one of the best places to be an independent business,” Medina said. “People are so eager to support local that getting support for your business isn’t too difficult.”

He never ran again for office. “I’m sorry to hear about Joe’s passing,” Perlmutter said in a statement issued to the Golden Transcript via email. “He was a friend of mine and our family long before he challenged me in politics. He will be missed.” The two had been onetime neighbors in the Applewood neighborhood of Wheat Ridge. Coors was a man of deep and abiding faith, Ytterberg said, noting he attended Bible study at 6 a.m. every Monday at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. He also enjoyed golf, Ytterberg said.

He was one of the parties responsible for building the Rolling Hills golf course in Golden, and along with Ytterberg’s help, developed a ceramic putter. One of Coors’ ceramic putters was gifted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in Florida. “Being an avid golfer,” Ytterberg said, “I think he thought that was pretty cool.” Coors is survived by his wife Gail, their four children and nine grandchildren who live across the Denver-metro area and Fort Collins. He is also survived by four siblings and their spouses and children, a greatuncle and a number of great-nieces and great-nephews.

His brother Pete Coors, the vice-chairman of Molson Coors Brewing Co., issued the following statement: “The entire family is deeply saddened by Joe’s death.” Coors’ family is planning a celebration of his life later this fall. In lieu of flowers or other sentiments, the family has suggested a contribution to one of his favorite charitable organizations: Colorado School of Mines Foundation, PO Box 4005, Golden, CO 80402; The Club At Rolling Hills Foundation, 15707 W. 26 Ave., Golden, CO 80401; Game Day Memories, 3651 S. Colorado Blvd., Englewood, CO 80113.

and Cañon City,” she said. “I did a lot of recruiting with artists and going to galleries to see who the best people to work with would be.” A Borgata is all about the artisans and the customers, Gaudi said. At the Mills shop, Gaudi works with 130 artists and said it feels like she’s helped start 130 businesses in one. “The biggest selling point for us is that the items are local,” she said. “Here at the mall, we’ve seen a two to five percent sales increase per month.”

Hartman Ely Investments is working on the development of the new project with Palace Construction and The Abo Group, a firm dedicated to sustainable architecture. Fruitdale Lofts is scheduled to be completed in late 2017.

The project will provide workforce and affordable rental units to the rapidly growing area, reserving five units for income restricted residents. The 13,700 square-feet Fruitdale Lofts project is set to incorporate sustainable environmental features into the building’s amenities, and the Lofts’ one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments will also provide tenants with access to a parking lot landscaped with numerous fruit trees to pay homage to the history of the neighborhood, which historically contained many fruit orchards. Originally constructed in 1886 as an educational building, the Fruitdale building later burned down and was resurrected in the 1920’s by the famed Temple Buell. The building has since become a historic landmark in the city of Wheat Ridge and on the National Register.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL AGGRIEVED PERSONS On August 8, 2016, the United States District Court for District of Colorado entered a Consent Order resolving a lawsuit brought by the United States against Roger P. Loecher, Eileen F. Loecher, and Miriam Yehudah, concerning alleged housing discrimination at Westland Apartments (“Westland”), located at 9905 W. 21st Ave., Lakewood, CO 80215. The lawsuit alleged that the owners and manager of Westland violated the Fair Housing Act by treating individuals with children living with them who visit the complex and inquire about renting apartments, and individuals with children who live in the complex, less favorably than individuals who do not have children living with them. The Consent Order requires, among other things, that the Defendants provide accurate information about all available apartments at Westland without regard to familial status and make such apartments available to any eligible renter as required by the Fair Housing Act. The Consent Decree also establishes a Settlement Fund to make payments to compensate persons who are victims of this type of alleged discrimination. You may be entitled to a monetary award from the Settlement Fund if you (1) are an individual with children; (2) sought to live at Westland Apartments; and (3) were denied the opportunity to live at Westland Apartments and/or steered to the back building of the property. If you believe you may be a victim based on the above criteria, or if you have information about someone else whom you believe may qualify, please contact the United States Department of Justice, no later than December 06, 2016, at: 1-800-896-7743 and select menu option 92. You may also send an e-mail to fairhousing@usdoj.gov or write to: United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Housing and Civil Enforcement Section 1800 G Street, N.W., Suite 7002 Washington, D.C. 20006 Attn: DJ# 175-13-155 Your telephone message or letter must include your name, address, and, if possible, your e-mail address and at least TWO telephone numbers where you may be reached.

A few tips for a tech-driven world Tech experts weigh in on teens and internet use By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teenagers are more digitally connected than ever: Three-quarters own or have access to a smartphone, 24 percent go online almost constantly, and 92 percent go online daily, Pew Research Center reports. The digital world is used for a number of activities — from building relationships to accessing schoolwork to online shopping. But it can also be a vulnerable space for teenagers. “You have to think about what information kids have access to,” said Jackie Burhans, managing partner of CMIT Solutions of Denver Tech Center, which specializes in information technology. “They still need to be aware of some of the dangers and risks of using technology.” Burhans and her husband, James Howald, also a managing partner of CMIT Solutions, have extensive experience with internet technology. The duo helps clients recover files, prevent malware and protect servers. They also have a son in high school. “When your dealing with adults, it’s slightly different than when you’re dealing with kids,” Burhans said, “but it’s all about security.” As the school year kicks off, the couple has a few tips for parents and teens immersed in the world of technology. Tips for cyberspace If a hacker gets ahold of an internet user’s credit card number or banking information, it can be reversed and oftentimes resolved, Howald said.

That’s not the case with cyberbullying. “The area in technology where I see a lasting, permanent impact on kids is when they get into a cyberbullying situation on social media,” he said. “Unfortunately, there isn’t a straightforward way to fix this.” Burhans and Howald recommend that parents have an open discussion with teens on what social media sites are active. Some are mainstream, such as Facebook and Instagram. But others are new to the digital sphere, such as Whisper, YikYak and Afterschool — three apps that allow anonymous posting. Anonymous apps are positive in that they let users express themselves, but they are often filled with inappropriate content and can encourage bullying, according to Common Sense Media, a website that provides information on media and technology. If a teenager is being bullied in cyberspace, he or she should keep a record of every detail and talk to an adult, said Douglas County Deputy Jason Blanchard. Blanchard, who also does community outreach, said teenagers know social media sites better than any other generation. “I’m not going to say that one is better or worse than the other,” he said. “Every single one needs to be approached with caution because you can’t guarantee anyone’s identity.” Tips for surfing the web “Think before you click the link” is a term Burhans uses at work and at home. An internet user should always consider where an online link is redirecting him or her to avoid scams or phishing — fraud that involves stealing personal information by posing as a legitimate company.

A NEW UNDERSHERIFF IN TOWN

Anti-malware software adds protection by blocking spam, viruses and popup pages on a laptop or desktop. The couple also advises teens to be mindful when online shopping. They say stick to nationally known online vendors, such as Amazon. “Teenagers on a budget may find discounted retail on an unknown site,” Burhans said. “They might not receive the product but then someone has their credit card info.” Tips for tech devices Burhans caught herself browsing Amazon when she had other priorities, so she downloaded an extension that prevents access to distracting websites during work hours. An extension is an add-on program that modifies or enhances the Chrome web browser. “I actually learned it from my son,” Burhans said. “It’s handy when I need to focus.” There are several tweaks in the tech world that can benefit users of all ages. StayFocusd is an extension that restricts the amount of time a user spends on certain websites. The f.lux extension changes the computer’s display color to adapt to the time of day. Web Timer is an extension that tracks web activity and presents the data to the user in a pie chart. Thousands of extensions serve different purposes, from parental controls to work productivity to online protection. Common Sense Media recommends that parents explore online tools — such as extensions — with their kids. “Learning how to use technology appropriately and discovering how to make it work for your needs are key to getting the best out of technology — while minimizing risks,” the site says.

Patsy Mundell, right, takes her oath of office as the new undersheriff of Jefferson County on Sept. 7. She was appointed to the position by Sheriff Jeff Shrader, left, upon the retirement of former undersheriff Ray Fleer. Mundell, promoted from division chief, was hired with the Jeffco sheriff’s office for patrol duty in 1986 and has served in every division of the department, as a deputy and supervisor. She is up for the challenge, Mundell said in an interview at Fleer’s retirement celebration, “to lead the mission and vision the sheriff has.” Courtesy photo

VOICES

LOCAL

Until death do us part Sometimes, the greatest gifts are not even ones that the givers intended to give. I have watched, over the course of the last eight months, a strong, intelligent man dwindle away until he resembles a concentration camp survivor. The diagnosis of cancer was just the final straw — for several years now, Parkinson’s disease has limited how he’s interacted with the world, and failing eyesight robbed him of his favorite pastimes. But, until very recently, nothing could rob him of his spirit, nothing stole his sense of humor, and, through some uncomfortable procedures and therapies, nothing has shaken his faith. But, that’s not the gift. Through some of this, I’ve been privy to how his wife has cared for him, and loved him. She was, once upon a time, a nurse, so the caretaking gene runs strong in her; plus, having raised seven children, there wasn’t much that could shake her. But being in the room to hear the word

“cancer,” being part of the conversation about only taking minimal steps to treat the disease, being in the position of informing their children of how he’s deteriorating … these are places that nobody can prepare you for, no amount of experience Michael Alcorn can soften, and no HITTING words can comfort. And, yet, she has HOME remained in good spirits throughout. The way she has cared for him—from keeping his coffee warm by his side, to reading to him when he couldn’t, to keeping him up to date on developments in the major golf tournaments—has been a living, breathing example of the sort of selfless love that we all dream of having one day.

And, as things have progressed, from helping him walk, to helping him to his walker, to helping him into a wheelchair, she remains upbeat and sociable, more interested in the goings-on of the people who come to visit than in her own situation. She says to me, “nobody plans for this — this wasn’t part of any plan of MINE, I can tell you.” And, yet, I know that’s not entirely true. I know that 54 years ago, when they said “In sickness and in health, in good times and bad, until death do you part,” they actually meant it. And while there’s no way to foresee every circumstance, they knew that there would be a very real possibility that one of them would be in the position of watching, helpless, as the other slowly lost their battle with life. And they accepted that, in all its glory. And, really, it’s sweet. It isn’t martyrdom, and it’s not duty: it is the final expression of love that began on an altar all those years Alcorn continues on Page 9

The warmth of human connection On my daily commute, the bike runs parallel to the road for a stretch. I pass dozens of walkers and riders, many of whom have a routine, just as I do. Soon after I began this route, I recognized a pair of people, a man and a woman probably 10 years younger than me, who walk south regularly on the path at the same time I am driving north on most days. Sometimes they hold hands, sometimes they simply walk side by side. And almost all the time, they seem engaged with one another, talking earnestly as they travel the trail. Curious about them, their motivation, their story, I pulled over impulsively one morning, and approached them as they neared my vehicle. I was smiling and excited, as if I knew them already, as if I were greeting friends. “Hi!” I called out, waving. They stopped, clearly wondering what was up. “I see you every morning,” I babbled on. “Why do you walk every day? How far do you go?” I also had other questions I wanted to ask, such as: Do you live around here? Where do you work? What is your relationship with each other? I waited expectantly. They didn’t answer. Well, actually, the woman tried to answer,

ALCHEMY

but she doesn’t speak English. Neither does the man. Flustered, I tried my miniscule Spanish. Then I resorted to gestures – hands on an imaginary steering wheel, swinging side to side in the air. Fingers, after pointing at them, simulating people walking. I continued my mix of stilted English and rudimentary Spanish, to tell them that, in essence, I wanted to be

friends. They got it. They smiled and nodded their heads, and we both continued on our ways. I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t know all about them, but also exhilarated to have made the connection anyway. After that, I watched for them every morning with renewed interest. When I began going an hour earlier as summer began, I noticed that they were also out earlier, perhaps because of the longer days. If I didn’t see them for a few days, though, I

began to fret. What’s going on? Are they OK? And I was always relieved to see them again, at a different time of morning, or on another part of the trail. And I wondered, when I was away on vacation for a week, did they speculate about me? Were they scanning the road for my vehicle, just as I watched for them? Did they miss our daily connection? Now, as fall approaches, with its cooler mornings and shorter days, we see each other every day. Sometimes they see me first, sometimes I spot them. We all wave and smile – big grins of recognition and delight – as we turn our heads to watch each other pass. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a bit disconnected during this election season, where so much of the rhetoric and the activities are designed to drive us further apart, rather than to bring us together. But each weekday morning, I find that this strange, warm and wonderful human connection is the best way to start my day. Andrea Doray is a writer who thrives on the human connection, who always needs a little of that human touch. (Thanks, Bruce Springsteen.) Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

Questions remain about Jeffco’s sixth-grade shift In response to the article by Crystal Anderson, “Shift eyed at Jeffco middle schools” article, nearly $100 million of the $535 million bond request is allocated to moving sixth graders to middle schools. There are a few items that need further attention. The rationale used is it’s “a better way to utilize existing facilities.” If that were true, why does it cost $100 million to add 120 classrooms? How is that utilizing current facilities efficiently when sixth graders already have space in elementary schools? If sixth graders are moved, there will be 24 elementary schools with less than 300 students. The school board used 300 students in the initial facility plan as the cut-off to determine if a school should be closed. The school board said they wouldn’t close those small schools “yet.” But will smaller schools have to be financially subsidized so they can operate comparably to larger schools? How will this impact neighborhoods in which smaller schools are an integral part of communities? Having 24 schools potentially close and sit empty is not a better way to utilize existing facilities. Moving sixth graders will negatively impact teachers. Five thousand sixth graders are projected to make this move resulting in over 200 teachers having to make a choice to move to middle school.

Since the teaching credentials are different in middle school, teachers will have to be accredited as a content specialist. They will have to do that on their own time and on their own dollar. Special teachers (PE, art and music) will Lenor Lucero also be impacted GUEST as middle schools already have elective COLUMN teachers. How many specials teachers lose jobs? The school board didn’t do an adequate job of soliciting community feedback on this topic. When the school district discussed moving sixth graders in 2008-09, a team of 50 community leaders spent nearly eight months studying and soliciting feedback. In 2012, the school board spent nearly 12 months gathering input. This board spent less than 90 days having this conversation and nearly half of the neighborhoods weren’t even scheduled to have their sixth graders moved, so parents in those areas weren’t engaged. The online survey had 851 responders, and only about half agreed

with this proposal. With over 170,000 parents in Jeffco, this survey is statistically insignificant. Moreover, under 500 people participated in the two calls and 12 public meetings, most of which were held during summer break. Shouldn’t we have a much larger conversation before facing the largest-ever bond request? The article included feedback from parents of autistic children who will lose a year of services if moved to sixth grade. There are 14 center programs in elementary schools — providing the support these students need to be successful. There are zero autism center programs in middle school, so moving sixth graders means one less year of specialized support for those who need it. I am glad there is a school like Sobesky as an option for special needs students, but they service students who struggle with significant emotional and/or mental health disabilities, not children attending autism centers. It is insulting to those parents who are striving to meet the learning needs of their children to tell them Sobesky is a viable option. Dr. (Dru) Tomlin (director of middlelevel services at the Association for Middle Level Education) mentions that middle schools can offer students additional opportunities, but what are

Jeffco’s plans? How is Jeffco going to address the loss of direct literacy hours or the fact that test scores in middle schools are some of the lowest in the district? Shouldn’t parents know plans for improving student achievement prior to the move? Dr. Tomlin also said “Kids are neurologically hooked up to take risks and make questionable decisions.” How will Jeffco handle this? Why put kids at risk a year earlier, especially when studies show sixth graders in middle schools have more discipline problems than those in elementary schools? Mr. (Terry) Elliot (chief school effectiveness officer for Jeffco Public Schools) is quoted as saying “Grade configuration is not as important as what is happening in the classroom and at the school,” so why spend $100 million moving sixth graders? Just because other school districts are doing this does not mean it is the right choice for Jeffco. Finally, the article makes no mention of the actual cost of the $535 million bond. Our ballots will tell us that we will actually be paying $987.22 million, $200 million more than is necessary because of the financing payback plan. That’s a billion dollars in debt with nothing in it to specifically help our students.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

certain things to live in the right school district. In 2013, Realtor.com conducted a Back to School survey. In that survey 90 percent of home buyers listed school boundaries as “important” or “somewhat important” in their purchasing decision. More than 44 percent of respondents said they would pay up to 10 percent above budget for homes in preferred school boundaries, and another 9 percent would pay up to 20 percent above. When we choose to invest in our schools, we invest in our home values and our communities. Please join me in supporting YES on 3A and 3B. Sue Imperiale, Applewood

over $150,000 of our educational taxes to elect them? Of course 3A and 3B will bring many other things to schools. But who really thinks going from no debt to having to pay back almost a billion dollars is a good trade? Think about how the Board has done its planning with an overpopulated administration; Creating debt they want us to pay for while mortgaging and moving their issues to our grandchildren’s educations. They only held area meetings with communities for discussions, choosing not to share the overall district picture as was done for years before. Look at how they’ve brought back last

century’s educational thinking with “student based budgeting” and moving sixth grade to middle schools. Even Dr. Stevenson stopped that in 2010 at O’Connell Middle School. At least this Board could have taken the research released just after they were elected on the “Negative Union Impact on Educational Outcomes” but then again who runs Jeffco now? Please join me in “not” supporting 3A and 3B. Tell this School Board that these are Jefferson County Public Schools where Student Education comes “First!” Gary Scofield, Arvada

Don’t deny climate change Reader Tom Graham’s (letter Sept. 1) credibility on ballot measures is completely destroyed when he comes out as a climate change/global warming denier. The sun’s proximity and sun-spot activity does affect earth temperature in longterm cycles. However, measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gases, loss of Artic sea ice and melting glaciers, rising ocean and atmospheric temperatures, and rising sea levels have all proven that burning fossil fuels is a major contributor to what has happened at an increasing rate over the last decade. Amendment 69 will not double the state budget to nearly $100 billion; the tax for ColoradoCare will replace the $11 billion per year of after-taxes income Coloradans spend on health care under the current system. Despite the claims that increased minimum wages will destroy many jobs, history has shown that it has not happened. Dick Sugg, Golden Value in supporting schools I have never had kids in Jeffco Schools, but I’ve lived in the Applewood/ Golden area for over two decades, and am heavily invested in the community. As a both a homeowner and Realtor, I understand the critical importance of high quality schools. In order to offer the best possible education for the children in our community, I firmly believe that we all need to invest in our schools and education system. Thriving schools help keep real estate values strong. Homebuyers and sellers clearly value the quality of local schools, and homebuyers are willing to sacrifice

She is stronger than him, and he’s the strongest man I’ve ever known.

What I can say is this: watching my mother care for my father, to walk with him into death as she walked beside him in life, and to allow him his last days in peace and dignity, has been beautiful and sacred. My catechism taught that God is Love; if that is true, then I have been in the presence of God for the last six months in a way that few ever experience. That is the gift.

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

A ministry of presence Police chaplains talk, listen and provide support to law enforcement and their families By Alex DeWind awind@coloradocommunitymedial.com

haplain Tim Ralph of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has frequented Parker Adventist Hospital over the past few weeks. He visits Dan Brite, a member of the sheriff’s office’s Impact Unit, and Brite’s wife Christine, a sergeant with the sheriff’s office. On Sept. 2, while responding to a “suicidal” suspect’s home near Sierra Middle School, Brite was shot in the chest. He has been in critical condition since. Ralph recalls a recent visit at the hospital on Sept. 13: Brite had woken up and was kissing his children. Still unable to talk, he attempted to scribble what looked like an “A” on a piece of paper. “I said pray? And he shook his head yes,” Ralph said. “So we prayed.” Ralph — also a Douglas County deputy and the founding pastor of a church — said he loves to help people. That is why he talks, listens and offers religious and spiritual support to the command staff of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “I try to tell them that they are fighting the good fight,” he said. Chaplains differ among law enforcement agencies. Some, like the Golden Police Department, have more than one chaplain. Others, like the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, don’t have a chaplain for the command staff. Kevin Shive, 46, one of four chaplains of the Golden Police Department, founded his organization — Rocky Mountain Police Chaplains — in 2014 to unify police chaplains across the state. Today, the organization has about 55 chaplains, including many from metro Denver police agencies such as Wheat Ridge Police Department, Denver Police Department, Littleton Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and more. The idea came to Shive after a set of traumatic events in the metro area, including the 2012 Aurora theater shooting that left 12 people dead and more than 70 injured at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” and the 2013 Boulder County flood that Chaplains continues on Page 13

WHAT IS A CHAPLAIN?

TYPES OF CHAPLAINS

A chaplain provides nondenominational religious services, spiritual guidance and counseling to people within a secular institution, such as a hospital, prison, military unit, police department, ﬁre department or university. Chaplains pray and promote spirituality, read from sacred texts, prepare and deliver sermons, organize and lead religious

services, and plan and lead religious education programs.

Police chaplains serve law enforcement personnel and agencies.

patients, families and staff at a hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility or hospice.

A chaplain is required to have a Bachelor’s degree, though many employers also require a Master’s degree and prior experience in the ﬁeld of religion.

Prison chaplains serve those who are incarcerated, either awaiting trial or after conviction.

Educational chaplains serve an educational institution, such as a college or university.

When asked how he deals with the day-to-day duties as chaplain of the Douglas County jail, he responds: “There’s no turning it off. This is is my way of life.” Teague, 53, leads weekly religious services on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Sunday morning, he streams a service from a church in Boulder over a projector in one of the jail’s program rooms. He’s at the jail full-time during the week, where he leads Bible studies, provides one-on-one counseling and coordinates requests for religious texts. “Some will tell you how much their lives changed getting closer to God,” Teague said of the inmates. Teague has been chaplain of the Douglas County jail for three years. About 15 religious volunteers assist him with services. When he talks

Chaplain Kenneth Teague works with inmates at the Douglas County Jail. This is his way of life, he said. “I don’t pacify anything — I’m real when I talk to them.” Photo by Alex DeWind to inmates, Teague is straightforward. He said he recognizes that they have the freedom to practice religion and, also, the freedom to not practice religion. “We try to do everything to keep the jail quiet,” he said.

Chaplain Stage, who would like his first name kept private, has been a full-time employee of the Arapahoe County jail for about four years. He’s at the jail Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and one weekend a month as chaplain of the Colorado National Guard. Stage’s responsibilities at the 1,350-bed jail include leading seven religious services per week and providing one-onone spiritual, emotional and religious counseling for inmates. He also handles logistics, including coordinating inmates’ requests for religious texts. Religious and spiritual services are a release for the

inmates, he said. “It’s a way for them to bring order to their chaos,” Stage, 38, said. Stage has a Christian background and acknowledges that sometimes he cannot provide the appropriate religious services to inmates. So, in those instances, he will reach out to other religious leaders in the community. “I advocate for their First Amendment right,” Stage said. “But I’m not a chameleon.” As chaplain of a county jail, he had to learn very quickly how to deal with heavy stories. To handle the emotion, he said he talks to God and relies on his own faith. “It’s a blessing to forget some things,” he said.

Foothills Art Center brings color to Rocky Mountains

Center hosts watermedia exhibit for 43rd and ﬁnal year

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the 43rd year, the Foothills Art Center will bring top watermedia talent from all over the country for the annual Rocky Mountain National Watermedia exhibit. The exhibit runs at the center, 809 15th St. in Golden, through Oct. 23. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m., Sunday. The tradition began in 1974 when local artists approached Foothills to host a watercolor art show. “The Rocky Mountain National Watermedia committee, founded in the beginning, extended watercolor to watermedia,” said Patricia Rucker, chairwoman of the watermedia committee, in a statement. “This year’s exhibition includes acrylic, tempera, casein, as well as mixed watermedia.”

This will be the last Rocky Mountain National Watermedia exhibit at Foothills — Next year the exhibit will be moving to the brand-new Center for the Arts Evergreen, which is scheduled to finish construction next year. “We’ve had volunteers and staff from Evergreen here as we got the show set up so they could see what goes into it,” Najjar said. “It’ll be great for them to have their first show at the new facility be a nationally known exhibit.” The Watermedia exhibit is the perfect kick-off of the new Evergreen center because the show has such a great reputation, not only in the metro area, but the state and country, said Vanessa Gareis, curator of the center. “We’re really excited for next year, and it’s going to be great exposure for us,” Gareis said. “It’s just a great fit for Evergreen.”

He moved to Colorado in 1981 to build houses. Soon after, he and his wife started a Bible study out of their home, which grew into New Covenant Church, a 250-member congregation in Larkspur. Ralph conducts funeral services, weddings and graduation ceremonies for the sheriff’s office staff. He accompanies deputies on patrol. He’s on scene when there is an emergency involving law enforcement, such as Brite’s. Douglas County Sgt. Derek Castellano, who also serves on the Colorado National

He said they act as counselors, offering help and spiritual guidance. “I am always grateful for our chaplain unit who helps us with our spiritual and emotional needs in times of crisis,” Castellano said, “and in our day-to-day operation.” Though he hasn’t spent much time with Ralph, he said he finds relief in knowing he can walk into Ralph’s office at any time. And, oftentimes, a member of command staff will come into Ralph’s office just to talk. “Chaplain,” Ralph said, “is a ministry of presence.”

Jefferson Symphony opens season with ‘transforming experience’ K Once in a while, I get a chance to bring you a real insider’s perspective on an upcoming event. Sometimes I’m participating in it and other times I may be in close contact with those who are. It just so happens that the conductor of the Jefferson Symphony, Dr. Bill Morse, is also the pianist in my Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra. So I have been talking with him a lot about the symphony’s seasonopener concert — and it’s going to be something special. The orchestra will be performing one of classical music’s most notoriously complex compositions, Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony No. 5 in C# Minor.” The concert will be on Sunday, Oct. 2, at 3 p.m. in the Green Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Tickets run $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $10 for students and $5 for children. Mahler was an interesting guy. He was born in what is now the Czech Republic back in 1860. Although he came from a rather modest background, he started displaying musical gifts at a young age. He studied piano and, from most accounts, was kind of a dreamer and absent-minded student in school. Music seemed to be what captured most of his attention, so his father encouraged him to audition for admission into the Vienna Conservatory of Music. He studied piano there and became quite accomplished, but also started composing and conducting. As a composer, he studied the works of other composers and was influenced by many, rather than just picking one style

to follow. Musically, he was a bit of a rebel, striving to create new and groundbreaking work. As is typical of someone producing new music, his works were considered to be “ahead of their time” and John Akal he didn’t meet with much early recogniAVENUE tion as a composer. But eventually his FLASHES genius was recognized, and he went on to become a star in the realm of classical music. He worked primarily as a conductor during his career, in many opera companies in Europe, culminating with his position as conductor of the prestigious Vienna Court Opera. In later years, he was briefly conductor of New York’s Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. He was considered to be an excellent conductor. Working as a conductor takes a lot of time, so he couldn’t compose hundreds of works. But what he did come up with eventually became some of the most influential works in music, and which led the way to the modern classical era. His “Symphony No. 5” is a rather unusual example of his style. It was composed in 1901-02 while he was recovering from a serious hemorrhaging

incident. He had to take a couple of years off to recuperate so he spent the time in a summer villa in Austria. This gave him time to compose and he ended up writing three new symphonies. “No. 5” was the first of these and was remarkable by how emotional it was and how it focused more on melodic counterpoint than previous works. It is regarded as on of Mahler’s most conventional symphonies, but still has its peculiarities. As an example, it’s written as three movements, but actually the first and third movements each have two separate and different parts, so it’s more like five movements. It also opens up with an extremely difficult trumpet solo. When it premiered in 1904, Mahler is reported to have said, “Nobody understood it. I wish I could have conducted its premier 50 years after my death.” But it

I hadn’t lost any loved ones due to death or illness, and I wasn’t without a job or resources. It was worse — my youngest child had moved out of the house and into his own life. I felt adrift and without a sense of purpose, even with a successful career as a writer and artist. I grieved because I was no longer “needed” to raise my children. They were capable and thriving on their own. When the nurse asked me if I’d like something to soothe me, of course, I readily agreed so I could dull the pain of my loneliness and sorrow. Then I asked her to find a Chaplain for me to talk to. The Chaplain, Nora, arrived, and we had a wonderful visit. She was an older woman who had served her community through her work. We talked about the sadness I felt as I transitioned into the empty nest, along with my husband. Next, Nora told me about a book, “The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully,” by Sister Joan Chittister, a Benedictine nun, who is outspoken on the topics of advocacy, justice, peace, and equality — especially for women. She is also fearless about the issue of aging. Sister Chittister challenged readers to examine the aging process, not as a thing to be feared, but to be embraced as there was, and is, so much more to it. “We don’t change as we get older — we

just get to be more of what we’ve always been,” she said. Sister Chittister’s words moved me. Soon, I was searching for new ways to fill the new voids in my life, and find it I did. I looked for work in numerous organizaVickie Krudwig tions and eventually landed a job in a TODAY’S retirement commuSENIOR nity in Westminster where I could use my love of writing and the arts to help improve the quality of lives for residents. I no longer felt “down” about aging, and instead, I became more excited about growing older. Yes! I said it! I became more excited about growing older. With aging comes possibility! Our residents and many others in our surrounding communities are intelligent, and their lifelong experiences and shared wisdom have added a wonderful new dimension to my life and the lives of others. They are proof that active engagement in life can have a positive effect on mental and physical wellness. Our residents are hungry for knowledge, and they soak up new experiences at LifeConnect University, Covenant Village of Colorado’s oncampus lifelong learning program. They love trying their hand at something new,

such as beginning watercolor classes, fused glass workshops, bead working, writing programs, poetry sessions, music classes, and ecumenical programs. Growing older can and will open us up to new possibilities, new social opportunities, and lasting friendships. In other words, life is worth living for, and aging does have its benefits! Research also suggests senior adults who participate in lifelong learning activities benefit in profound, healthful ways. Lifelong learning creates opportunities for: Socialization: Taking classes, learning a new trade or stepping outside of our comfort zone to learn something new connects us with other like-minded people and creates new friendships. Brain stimulation: Classes like chess or the “Think” Brain Fitness Boot Camp at LifeConnect University can improve brain health and slow down the effects of dementia and Alzheimer’s in some people. Physical activity: T’ai Chi, yoga, hiking, or any other activity that requires you to master something new is as good for the brain as it is good for the body. Physical activity is proven to boost your mood and

help build muscle and balance. Happiness: Lifelong learners get immersed in their activities or tasks; hours go by like minutes and they are happy, energized and fulfilled from having participated with a community of learners. For more information on the LifeConnect University and a list of upcoming classes and programming (free for Covenant Village of Colorado residents, $25 for guests, with all supplies provided), call (303) 515-6342. Or, get involved in your community arts-based programs and classes. Osher Institute for Lifelong Learning is another great resource, (303) 871-3090.

Victims take center stage in ‘God of Carnage’

“

Bitingly funny drama comes to Miners Alley

With just four people on stage for the show, its success depends on the actors working well together, which has not

been a problem at all, according to Collins and DeCaro.”

Don’t let the name fool you — “God of Carnage” is funny. The 2009 Tony winner for best play takes a darkly comedic look at the ways parents are often no better than their children when it comes to dealing with disagreements and discord. Directed by Len Matheo, “God of Carnage” runs at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, Sept. 9 through Oct. 16. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday. The play features adult content and strong language. “Miners Alley is a wonderful place to do a small cast show like this,” said Mark Collins, who plays Michael. “The space really lends itself to a one-setting show that’s all about character.” The play focuses on two sets of parents

— Veronica (Lisa DeCaro) and Michael (Collins) and Alan (Augustus Truhn) and Annette (Emily Paton Davies) — who come together to discuss an altercation between their children. What starts as a friendly conversation quickly drowns under a sea of rum and tension, as the parents learn they have their own squabbles to settle. “For Veronica, this is her house where everyone is gathering, and she wants to make sure it’s a learning experience for everyone,” DeCaro explained. “There’s a neat allegory here about unnecessary violence and the divides there are in the world.” With just four people on stage for the

show, its success depends on the actors working well together, which has not been a problem at all, according to Collins and DeCaro. “Everyone is fantastic on stage,” she said. “With Miners’ intimate space, it really is like we’re inviting the audience into our living room.” The humor comes from the deadly serious way the characters react to the situation, Collins said, so while the actors aren’t playing for laughs or working to a punchline, it still remains sharply funny. “The most important element of this show is the audience,” he said. “We’ve all

Arachnids fascinate young children Spiders are often over-feared and misunderstood. When a spider web and huge “Charlotte” appear in the yard you might turn them into family STEAM activities at home (science, technology, engineering, arts and math). Observe spiders Adults and children can observe a spider with a magnifying glass for several days while it adds to its web, collects insects and encases them. Check on spiders working at night with your flashlights. How much progress do they make by morning? Observe spiders around the neighborhood to compare spiderwebs. Warn children to look and not touch because they will bite. Check out some nonfiction spider books from the library like “I Love

Spiders” by John Parker and “Anansi LIFELONG the Spider” by Gerald LEARNING McDermott. Search for “Spiders: Animals for Children Kid’s Videos” on You tube. The” Isty Bitsy Spider” song and many other finger plays are also found on the internet. Children can discuss how spiders help the ecosystem by catching harmful insects like mosquitoes and flies. Are there female spiders carrying white sacs of eggs? Research if Daddy Long Legs are really spiders. Adults and children may discuss what facts they learn and use different geometric shapes to illustrate a few pages about spiders. Children may dictate sentences for captions under the pictures and help staple the pages together.

Making spiders With adult help, children may create their own spiders. Children can cut out two circles (head and body), eight long skinny rectangles for legs, circles for eyes, and tape them together to make a spider. Hang a string and thread it through a short straw taped on the back so the spider can climb and drop down from the string. With help, children may make edible spiders. Cut two circles from bread, spread peanut butter, add eight pretzel legs and eight raisins for eyes. Children can also go outside to make spiderweb mazes in sand or on the sidewalk. Spread out stones in the sand to make points for a pentagon, hexagon and octagon. With a stick or chalk, make lines like spokes in a wheel to connect each stone with the center of the shape.

To catch an intricate web, spray one with a light coating of white paint and carefully swish a large black piece of construction paper made by taping several pieces together. What geometric shapes are in the web? How do spiders store their meals? Which web has captured the most insects? How strong is a web? Family STEAM activities help young children observe, form questions, increase vocabulary, do quick sketches and write stories of what they see for science journals.

What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is “The Blind Side” because I like how it is based on a true story. Also, the story behind the movie truly inspires me to do greater things in my life.

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? My favorite professional athlete is Laurie Hernandez because she works extremely hard to be one of the best gymnasts, but still has fun with it and doesn’t take it too seriously.

ARVADA — Ralston Valley junior Gianna Browdy helped herself immensely Sept. 13. Browdy pitched a complete-game in a 2-1 non-league victory against Wheat Ridge at Ralston Valley High School. However, she was just as impressive at the plate going 3-for-3 with a pair of triples to give Ralston Valley a momentum-building win. “We could probably bat her (Browdy) three, four or five, but she always does well in that lead-off position,” Ralston Valley coach Wendy Davies said. “She always seems to make something happen. She is really helping us out.” Browdy’s second triple led off the bottom of the fifth inning in a 1-1 tied ballgame. Freshman Shayla Erickson came in as a courtesy runner for Browdy. Erickson scored the eventual game-winning run when the freshman broke for home on senior Malory Eldredge’s infield grounder. The home plate umpire ruled that ErSoftball continues on Page 23

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? I am very superstitious before meets. My biggest superstition is that I have to do my own hair before the meet. If I let my coach or any of my teammates do my hair for me, it’ll mess me up. What are your plans for after high school graduation? After high school, I plan on attending college, as I am applying to Stanford, CU Boulder, Regis, DU and TCU. I plan to major in child or sports psychology. “Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the west metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.

Basketball is the only high school team sport in the state without a mercy rule, but the Colorado High School Activities Association Board of Directors is scheduled to vote on adopting one at its Oct. 5 meeting. Jim Benton The proposed rule for boys and girls OVERTIME basketball would start a running clock if a team leads by 40 points or more at the end of the third quarter. The clock would stop only for timeouts or injuries. If the board adopts the mercy rule, it would be enforced for the 2016-17 season. Administrators and coaches are lining up on both sides. Those in favor of implementing the rule argue it could spare the losing team the humiliation of a major blowout. Those against the rule contend it takes time away from players who might not see action in a close game. “I’m in favor of it,” said Mark Duitsman, Lutheran girls basketball coach and athletic director. “I have been on both sides of a lopsided score and I see teachable moments in both circumstances, but I don’t see the rule impacting those lessons.” Many coaches don’t like the proposed rule change. “I’m not in favor of changes,” ThunderRidge boys coach Joe Ortiz said. “When we get up a lot on an opponent, we sub out. I hate giving up the playing time for our subs that don’t get very much playing time.” Cherry Creek girls coach Chris Curneen agrees. “Every minute of court time is valuable,” he said. “Once I get up by a comfortable margin, I usually use the extra minutes to get some of my younger players some valuable playing time.” Highlands Ranch girls coach Caryn Jarocki brings up another point against the mercy rule. “Teams can work on things regardless of the score and regardless of if they are winning or losing,” she said. “On a lesser note, the mercy rule affects teams in regard to the record books. All records have been derived from teams playing full games for a full season, not shortened ones. Those teams/players are essentially being penalized with shortened games.” Blue night scheduled It is gratifying when differences and rivalries are put aside in a show of support for a person or issue. Legacy received well wishes and support from schools in the state and outside of Colorado after the Sept. 11 crash that killed bus driver Kari Chopper.

Lakewood captures Jeffco team title for third year Tiger senior edges out rival to win top spot

By Dennis Pleuss Jeffco Public Schools ARVADA — The Jeffco League boys golf regular season belonged to the Big Cats this fall. The Lakewood Tigers (Class 5A) and Evergreen Cougars (Class 4A) completed sweeps Sept. 12 of the Jeffco League team titles, along with individual medalist honors. The Tigers captured their third straight 5A Jeffco team title and Lakewood senior Griffin Barela wrapped up the individual title edging Columbine senior Marcus Tait by seven strokes over the six conference tournaments. “I felt good with my game coming in,” said Barela, who was four strokes underpar through his first 10 holes at West Woods Golf Course in Arvada. “I knew I would be able to put up a good score and really put the pressure on Marcus to have a good round to beat me.” Barela fired a tournament-best 3-underpar 69. Back-to-back long birdie putts on No. 9 and 10 pretty much sealed the deal for the Lakewood senior. “That’s what I was trying to do,” Barela said of his trying to lag his uphill putt from off the green on No. 10 that dropped in for

birdie. “Once I made that, I was pretty confident and I really thought I had wrapped it up.” Tait, who fired an even-par 72, could only laugh when Barela’s lag putt on No. 10 dropped for birdie. “Today was a good round, but I didn’t play well enough to catch Griffin,” Tait said. “He (Barela) made a putt on No. 9 that was from 45 feet. Then he does it again on No. 10. I love making putts like that. I just got in the fun with him.” “We played well, a lot of positives today,” Lakewood coach Alan Gonzales said after the Tigers shot a team total of 306 to complete the sweep of winning all six 5A Jeffco League tournaments. Evergreen completed its goal of dethroning Valor Christian for the 4A Jeffco team title. The Cougars ended up beating

in the top of the seventh inning. Despite giving up singles to Wheat Ridge’s Gianna Welker and Brandy Trengove in the final frame, the Mustangs’ defense was able to strand a pair of runners. Loya flew out to Ralston Valley centerfielder Sydney Harsh to end the game. “We left some stranded runners and we just didn’t hit today. When you don’t hit you don’t win games,” Wheat Ridge’s first-year coach Jamie Heflin said. “Ralston is a good solid team. Hats off to them. They played well.” The Farmers had their

out the defending 4A state champions by 42 strokes over the six league tournaments. “It’s awesome. It’s a huge accomplishment for us to beat the starting string of Valor’s kids,” Evergreen senior Lenny Urbas said. “We are probably one of the best 4A teams in the state and hopefully one of the favorites to win state.” Adding to the team success, Urbas overcame a one-stroke deficit to Green Mountain junior Gabe Goodman entering Monday’s tournament to claim the 4A Jeffco medalist title. Urbas shot a 1-over-par 73 to out-duel Goodman by two strokes for the individual title.

chances, included a bases-loaded situation with one out in the top of the second inning. Wheat Ridge wasn’t able to push a run across the plate to take the lead and ended up stranding nine runners over seven innings. Wheat Ridge’s lone run came in the top of the fifth inning when Welker reached base on a bunt single and came home on an RBI single by Riley Wickman. “Wheat Ridge is always a good team and tough competition,” Ralston Valley senior Alexa Samuels said. “We struggled in the

beginning of the year, but we are working hard to get back on track and work as a team. We have put in so much practice time. It’s good to have that pay off in games.” The Mustangs went through a six-game losing streak, but have back-to-back wins under their belts with 5A Jeffco League starting up this week. “Hopefully, the confidence, and the confidence in each other, will carry through the league season,” Davies said. “You always have pride in your school and want to represent that. We start

with Arvada West and they are good.” Wheat Ridge, last year’s 4A state runner-up, also begins its conference play in 4A Jeffco this week. “We are very battled tested with the schedule we had,” Heflin said. “I think we are up to the test.” Dennis Pleuss is a communications specialist with Jeffco Public Schools with a focus on athletics and activities.

The Castle View/Arapahoe team, made up of players 18 and under, was coached by Tim Walsh and notched a 2-1 title victory over Westminster Hyland Hills. Valor softball to face tests Thomas Jefferson and Valor Christian, two undefeated softball teams, played Sept. 17 in Highlands Ranch. Valor improved to 11-0 with another mercy-rule win and downed the Spartans (12-1) in a 12-2 non-league victory. In 11 games, the Eagles have outscored opponents 122-5 and coach Dave Atencio isn’t concerned that Valor hasn’t been tested yet. With Jeffco 4A league play starting, the Eagles play Wheat Ridge Sept. 22 and the Farmers were the only team to beat state champion Valor last season. “Our kids continue to play with poise and with determination,” Atencio said. “We start league play against rival Wheat Ridge. They are a formidable program and will give us all we can handle. D’Evelyn and Mullen will also be tough for us.” Nance goes out on top Coach Ralph Nance, who helped Faith Christian win the Class 3A baseball championship last spring, announced his retirement as baseball coach but will remain as the Eagles’ football coach. Jim Polson was hired to replace Nance as baseball coach. Polson has coached as an assistant at Pomona, Ralston Valley, Fairview and Mountain Range.

 Max Borghi, football, junior, Pomona: His most extraordinary highlight came when he hurdled a tackler on an apparent 73-yard TD run, which was nullified because his hurdle was penalized. Still, he finished with 159 yards rushing on only 10 carries and scored three times in a 28-7 win over Ralston Valley on Sept. 16. Borghi also had two receptions for 10 yards and 29 yards on kickoff returns as the Panthers prepped for a rematch of last year’s 5A title game against Valor Christian Sept. 23 at Valor.  Justin Andrade, cross-country, senior, Arvada West: Andrade won the boys varsity individual title Sept. 17 at the Arvada West Cross Country Invitational with a time of 16:27.00.  Bailey Marvel, softball, junior, D’Evelyn: Marvel helped the Jaguars cruise to a 14-2 win over Fort Lupton Sept. 16. She went 2-for-3, scored twice and had four runs batted in and improved her season batting average to .619.  Dany Pineda, soccer, sophomore, Jefferson: He scored twice in the Saints’ 3-goal second half in a 3-1 win over Arrupe Jesuit on Sept. 14.

ABOUT DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal genetic disease that causes muscle weakness and eventually robs patients of their ability to walk, move their arms and care for themselves. It most often affects boys and, only rarely, does it affect girls. It occurs in about one of every 3,600 male infants. Until relatively recently, boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy usually did not survive much beyond their teen years. Thanks to advances in cardiac and respiratory care, life expectancy is increasing and many young adults with the disease attend college, have careers, get married and have children. Survival into the early 30s is becoming more common, and there are cases of men living into their 40s and 50s.

‘He has taken away all the excuses’

Despite his wheelchair, Jack Knight — and his dog — march in high school band

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Standley Lake sophomore Jack Knight was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, an incurable genetic disease that causes muscle weakness and eventually robs patients of their ability to walk, move their arms, and care for themselves. But the diagnosis doesn’t stop the 16-year-old from doing one of the things he loves — marching band. “I think he has taken away all the excuses,” Standley Lake band director Crissy

Duran said. “I feel like everyone works a little harder when they’re around Jack.” Two years ago, Knight lost his ability to walk and is now permanently in an electric wheelchair. He and his service dog, a golden retriever named Amber, have been inseparable for the past eight years and are starting their second season marching with the Gators. “When I joined the marching band, it was only natural that Amber join, too,” Knight said, adding that the dog has been going to school with him fulltime since third grade. Amber is there to relieve stress and help Knight feel more calm. She picks things up when Knight drops them. And she presses the handicap access button to open doors.

“Also, girls talk to me because they want to pet dog,” Knight said, laughing and smiling while sitting in the backyard of his Westminster home. The Gator marching band performed its first halftime show for the 2016 season on Sept. 17. With a rig his dad built to hold his mellophone — an instrument similar to the French horn — and Amber in her uniform by his side, the duo hit the field with their team. This year, band director Duran is doing a few things differently, including giving Amber a little more space on the field. “She’s absolutely a member of the band,” Duran said. And by being part of formation, she teaches students to assert themselves. “She doesn’t move for them unless they make her move. She gets kids

to find their voice and find confidence.” In practice, Duran has been working with Knight on his speed and changing directions on the field, incorporating fundamental skills to give him the same physical challenges as other band members. But more than the formations on the field and the music played, Duran said Knight has increased the band’s sense of family. “In a marching band there is always that feeling of taking care of each other and Jack brings that to a whole new level,” Duran said. “For me as a director, he has taught me to be more thoughtful about each students’ individual needs, challenges and successes. He’s a very important member of our marching band.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 19, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) After much traveling this year, you’re due for some settled time with family and friends. Use this period to check out situations that soon will require a lot of serious decision-making. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep that keen Bovine mind focused on your financial situation as it begins to undergo some changes. Consider your money moves carefully. Avoid impulsive investments. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll need to adjust some of your financial plans now that things are changing more quickly than you expected. All the facts you need haven’t yet emerged, so move cautiously. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal and professional relationships dominate this period. Try to keep things uncomplicated to avoid misunderstandings that can cause problems down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) That elusive goal you’d been hoping to claim is still just out of reach. But something else has come along that could prove just as desirable, if only you would take the time to check it out. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to get away for some much-needed rest and relaxation. You’ll return refreshed and ready to take on the workplace challenge that awaits you.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Confidence grows as you work your way through some knotty situations. Watch out for distractions from wellmeaning supporters that could slow things down. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Consider spending more time contemplating the possibilities of an offer before opting to accept or reject it. But once you make a decision, act on it. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’re in a very strong position this week to tie up loose ends in as many areas as possible. Someone close to you has advice you might want to heed.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Congratulations. This is the week you’ve been waiting for: After a period of sudden stops and fitful starts, your plans can now move ahead with no significant disruptions. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re in an exceptionally strong position this week to make decisions on many still-unresolved matters, especially those involving close personal relationships. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The new moon starts this week off with some positive movement in several areas. A special person becomes a partner in at least one of the major plans you’ll be working on. BORN THIS WEEK: You work hard and get things done. You also inspire others to do their best. You would do well heading up a major corporation. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Background: In 2015, the Board of Health contracted Dr. Margaret Herzog, a professional engineer with PH Associates, LLC in Lakewood, Colorado to develop a groundwater model of the Parmalee Gulch basin utilizing existing available data sources to evaluate the impact of existing and potential new septic systems to groundwater resources. The purpose of the modeling study was to integrate over 40 years of research in the Turkey Creek watershed and Parmalee Gulch sub-basin, conduct advanced geospatial analysis, and review multiple lines of evidence to determine if and how planned and potential development might increase nitrate pollution in groundwater which serves Indian Hills private wells and the Indian Hills Water District (IHWD) public wells.

In Parmalee Gulch, groundwater serves as the primary source of drinking water for many residents of Indian Hills, a residential community of approximately 1,200 people. Indian Hills is located just north of Colorado State Highway 285 and about 25 miles southwest of Denver, Colorado. To protect the groundwater system, a prohibition of septic systems on certain lots in Indian Hills was instituted by the Board of Health in 1979 because of elevated nitrate pollution from septic systems in the groundwater. Using existing water quality and land use data sets along with simple modeling methods, the modeling project was designed to inform future public health decision-making processes related to groundwater quality for the Indian Hills community.

In August 2016, Jefferson County Public Health released the Indian Hills Groundwater Water Quality Modeling Project Report to the public and requested written feedback and comments. Public Invited to Submit Written Comments

The Indian Hills Groundwater Water Quality Modeling Project Report news release can be accessed at http://jeffco.us/publichealth/news/2016/indian-hills-groundwater-water-quality-modeling-project-reportreleased/.

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 viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-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 holistic 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.
