MY NAME IS

Jill Breheny, Colorado native, mother, photographer A Western woman on the East Coast My husband Terri and I are both Colorado natives. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on Oct. 26.

We lived in Colorado until our mid-20s, and then we left for an adventure in New York City. I grew to love the East Coast, and since we knew we would eventually return to Colorado, we treated our weekends like we were tourists and saw and experienced a lot of the East Coast.

We moved to Golden in April of 2001.

I grew up in Lakewood, and we had our whole family here. And we had a newborn, so we wanted to re-establish our roots here.

I love how unique Golden is. You’ll find a warm, open community here.

My husband and I are raising three kiddos. My first child is 16, second child is 13 and fourth child is 7 years old. Our third child is in heaven. I do my best to share kindness with someone each day, in honor of him.

My work I am an executive director for Lemongrass Spa Products.

The products are all natural, gluten-free and handmade in Pine, Colorado and Florida. There’s no storefront, so the products are only available through independent sales consultants like myself.

I was introduced to Lemongrass products in 2004 at a home foot soak party and I joined within a couple of days of that. I have a real chemical sensitivity.

I’ve always had to do a lot of research on products, and sometimes I still had to return things after I tried them. I can

have terrible reactions to products made with fillers and harsh chemicals, so I was overjoyed to find a line I could safely use, head to toe.

Capturing memories I have always enjoyed taking photos, and my first camera was a gift when I was about 10 years old. I am definitely an amateur, but I love taking photos on vacations, on hikes and in everyday life.

I just love capturing the essence of a moment with a photograph, such as the variety of pumpkins at a pumpkin patch or the smiles on my kids’ faces. One of my favorite parts of taking photos is being able to go back and enjoy the images right away, and then again a year or so later.

Photographs capture so many memories and details, and sometimes I experience a memory a little differently when I view it in a photograph.

We hope you like our new look Since 2005, the Arvada Press (and before that, the Arvada Sentinel) has sought and continues to bring you – hometown news and vitally important information about Arvada. As the world changes, so do we.

While we are now available in multiple ways for you to read us, print is the primary choice for most of you and is still the permanent record about our community. With our print readers in mind, we have launched an exciting format redesign.

We have changed our size to make it easier to read and handle. With the new size, we took the opportunity to rethink our design. Over the past month, our editors and designers have been working with Ed Henninger, a nationally renowned newspaper design expert.

“Overall, the approach has been to create a newspaper that is more appealing and more accessible by applying time-tested techniques and universally accepted news design principles,” Henninger says. “The result is a design that is clean, concise

p

and contempo- r rary. It’s a de- l sign focused onv giving readers p and advertisers newspapersa that are easy u to read and fol- A low.”

We’re using a new text font that’s larger and more comfortable to Jerry Healey read. Our new headline style is stronger and more striking. Color use has been more carefully controlled and page structure is more reader-friendly.

What drives us at the Arvada Press is creating meaningful impact for our readers and advertisers. We expect that the format and design change will help strengthen our bond with you and provide for an even more enjoyable experience.

The EcoBrokers at Golden Real Estate Offer Varied Backgrounds and Expertise

Regular readers of this column might have come to identify me and me alone with GoldREAL ESTATE en Real Estate, Inc., but in fact we are a TODAY brokerage of several highly qualified and experienced Realtors with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise.

I think it’s time I introduce all of them to you, including describing their particular strengths

By JIM SMITH, and specialties. ® Realtor I’ll introduce them in the left-to-right order of the photo at right.

Chuck Brown came to Golden Real Estate after many years as an independent broker, based in Denver but living above Golden on Lookout Mountain with his wife and 2 children. Like all team members, he sought us out, we did not recruit him, and I like to think it wasn’t just because of the shorter commute! He told me he was a long-time reader of this column and wanted to be associated with our brokerage. Because of his previous location in Denver, and his residence in the mountains his knowledge and service to city and rural clients is exceptional. Contact Chuck at 303-885-7855.

Kim Taylor was originally hired as my unlicensed personal assistant, but it soon became apparent that she possessed all the qualities that would make her an excellent agent in her own right.

She is now fully licensed and, while she still assists me in securing and managing my own clients, she also serves her own clients. She lives in the Kinney Run townhomes of Golden proper. You can reach her at 303-304-6678.

Carrie Lovingier was one of the very first agents to join Golden Real Estate after its creation in July 2007. At the time she was known as Carrie Ackley and lived in North Golden.

Since then she got married and now lives on a horse property near downtown Evergreen. She has a Masters in Real Estate. She’s my go-to agent for most foothills clients. You can reach her at 303-907-1278.

Kristi Brunel came to Golden Real Estate as a new agent in 2012. A mother of four, and very active in the Jeffco schools and the community, Kristi knows Golden well!

She is an integral part of a long-time Golden family living on the family homestead on Copper Bucket Lane in north Golden. She’s my go to agent for investor clients because of her and Kenny’s experience as owners of numerous rental properties in Jefferson County. Her cell number is 303-525-2520.

Jim Swanson is another long-time agent at Golden Real Estate, having joined me shortly after I created the brokerage. He and I worked together at Coldwell Banker and RE/MAX Alliance. Jim is a superb rock & roll guitarist and singer and formed a couple bands, one of which performed at a client appreciation event on our patio. He is a long-time Golden resident and having driven a UPS truck for a while, he knows all the neighborhoods! His parents still live in the neighborhood behind our South Golden Road office. He enjoys exploring our state on his unique Moto Guzzi motorcycle. You can reach him at 303-929-2727.

I recently promoted David Dlugasch to Managing Broker because of his 17 years’ experience as a broker/owner. He came to us from Crested Butte, where he was an online reader of my “Real Estate Today” column. When he and his wife decided to move to Arvada to be closer to their grandchildren, he asked if he could join Golden Real Estate. He has a very personal approach and has served many clients in North Jeffco (where he lives) and up Coal Creek Canyon. You can reach him at 303-908-4835.

Leo Swoyer is one of our newest agents, coming to us in March 2014 after over a decade as a licensed appraiser specializing in mountain properties.

He enjoys working with first-time homebuyers, keeping them fully informed throughout the process. Because of Leo’s expertise in mountain properties and understanding of the appraisal process, he serves his clients well. He and his wife live in Green Mountain. You can reach Leo on his cell phone at 720-933-1968.

Would you be a good “fit” at Golden Real Estate?

If you are an experienced Realtor (with at least 2 years’ experience, including over a dozen transactions) and share our company’s values and mission, we would like to hear from you. Please email me at Jim@GoldenRealEstate.com, explaining why you believe you would be a good addition to our team.

Arvada’s oldest building restored, opened as Gallery 1874 The gallery will also be used as an event space

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The building that stands at 5665 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. is iconic, a treasured piece of Arvada’s past.

As the city’s oldest building, it began as the Clear Creek Valley Grange — a place for the community to gather.

Now, it has been restored back to a community space with the opening of Gallery 1874, an art gallery and event venue.

“We take great pride in restoring a community’s landmark and turning it back into a community gathering place, which is what it was always intended to be as a grange,” owner Carmen Sample said.

After the Grange, the building became the Festival Playhouse, yet another beloved landmark in the town’s history. Though the playhouse has closed its doors, Carmen and Mark Sample, alongside their devoted team at Sample Supports, have restored the historic building.

The structure has been kept intact, though the interiors have been updated with top-of-the-line audio-visual capabilities to suit the needs of today’s technology-driven society. Ceilings are covered in hand-finished gold and chandeliers are Swarovski crystal,

IF YOU GO Where: Gallery 1874 is housed in a historic Grange Hall in Arvada. The building is the oldest in Arvada, located in historic Olde Town Arvada at 5665 Olde Wadsworth Blvd.

“We love purchasing historic buildings not only because they retain their value so well, but also because they are pieces of art in themselves,” Carmen Sample said. “I love the character and uniqueness of historic buildings because it makes me feel connected to something bigger in the culture and the community.”

The gallery celebrate its grand opening Oct. 24 featuring the works of six Arvada-based artists: Matthew Lindstrom, Samantha Jo Manion, Hector Palacios, Michael Wais, Thomas Cope and Cambra Koczkur.

“My process was keeping an open mind and my goal was to get as eclectic mix as possible,” said Sarah Lawrence, gallery manager and event coordinator, adding that the vetting process

“I really want the emphasis on community integration, supporting local artists and small businesses,” Lawrence added. “I want this to be a community hot spot.”

Gallery 1874 is also working closely with several partnership businesses.

The location will offer integrated and competitive employment opportunities for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities with Sample Supports. And award-winning

meals will be offered through catering from Samples World Bistro.

This tightly-knit group of partnership businesses work to provide life and job experiences for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The gallery will also be used as an event space.

When the gallery is not hosting an event, the Crystal Joys boutique will be open daily to the public, offering handmade jewelry.

November 3, 2016N Small pockets of antiTrump protesters waved their signs at the Donald Trump rally on Oct. 29 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. The Jeffco Sheriff’s Department estimated 5,000 people showed up to listen to the presidential candidate.

Trump comes to Jeffco

Candidate speaks about Obamacare, Clinton emails and media

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An estimated 5,000 people crowded the Jefferson County Fairgrounds Oct. 29 to hear Donald Trump at a campaign stop announced just two days earlier.

“In 10 days we are going to win the state of Colorado,” Trump said near the start of his 52-minute speech in the swing county, which is about evenly divided among Republican, Democrats and unafilliated voters.

The tone and topics of his speech followed familiar Trump-Pence themes, with a few small nods to Colorado-specific topics. Trump repeated his pledge to “repeal and replace Obamacare,” saying that Coloradoans in particular were about to receive bad news about health insurance premiums rising as a result of the program.

Also adding some local flavor to the

rally were introduction speeches by Colorado politicians, including Colorado State Sen. Laura Woods, a Republican who is up for reelection in Senate District 19, representing Arvada and Westminster.

Nine minutes into his talk, Trump brought up his presidential opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the latest revelation that the FBI still might investigate her use of a private email server during her time in that position.

Trump paused on several occasions to crowd chants of “Lock her up! Lock her up!” He also earned big cheers from the crowd when criticizing Clinton’s support of bringing more Syrian refugees to the United States.

“The Hillary refugee plan would leave us with generations and generations of radicals and terrorists,” Trump said.

Republican state Sen. Tim Neville, who represents District 16, the area around the Jeffco Fairgrounds and to the west, said Trump’s words on anticorruption stuck with him.

“You need to clean up government, or no one will trust government,” Neville said.

Another repeated theme of Trump’s speech was criticism of the media.

“Boy, are they going to die when we win this,” Trump said of the media, saying he wouldn’t bother taking their calls once he wins.

Trump also said the murder rate in the United States is “the highest it has been in 45 years.” But although annual FBI crime statistics show the recent increase in murder rates in urban areas are the largest seen in 45 years, it is also true the national murder rate remains at historically low levels.

One more recurring theme of Trump’s speech was about the movement behind the campaign.

“She (Clinton) is a candidate of yesterday,” Trump said near the end of his talk. “We, all of us, are a movement of tomorrow.”

Ana Maria Chiafalo, of Highlands Ranch, and her husband count themselves a part of that movement. A firstgeneration immigrant, she attended the rally with a sign that read “Latina for Trump.”

“We know the platform he’s standing on and we’re 100 percent behind it,” she said.

When asked about why her candidate seems to be polling so poorly with other Latinos, Chiafalo said much of that perception is due to Hispanic media, which she calls biased.

“If you talk to other legal Hispanics, they feel the same as I do,” Chiafalo said. “It’s not about immigrants, it’s about legal immigrants.”

When asked after the rally why some prominent GOP politicians had chosen to distance themselves from Trump, Neville, who is not up for reelection this year, said he thought they were

just focused on their own elections instead.

“He has a strong agenda and a strong platform that I think all Republicans can support,” Neville said, though he conceded that personality may be an issue.

A group of about half a dozen Trump protesters with signs gathered near the back of the rally crowd. Among them was Deanna from Lakewood, who came with her adult daughter. Deanna said she was not comfortable giving out her full last name in earshot of several hostile Trump supporters who were ringing the group.

“We just wanted to observe, see what he wanted to say, see what other people wanted to say,” Deanna said.

Earlier in the rally, Deanna said she had several “civil and adult” discussions with Trump supporters, talking about positions, and seeing if they could find common ground. As the rally-goers dispersed, however, the group found itself surrounded by less congenial Trump supporters.

“We’ve had three individuals calmly escorted away from our vicinity by police,” Deanna said, gesturing to the ring of law enforcement officers who had quietly taken up positions between the two groups.

Jeffco Sheriff ’s Department spokesman Mark Techmeyer said 12 law enforcement agencies helped with security and traffic during the campaign stop, including Lakewood, Golden and Westminster police departments, in partnership with the U.S. Secret Service and the TSA. Techmeyer said no arrests were reported at the rally.

ARVADA NEWS IN A HURRY Apex Park and Recreation District celebrates 60 years On November 13, 1956, Civil Action 10806 in Jefferson County District Court officially created North Jeffco Metropolitan Recreation District, after an energetic group of Arvada residents, concerned about several drownings in the area, initiated a grassroots effort to create the district and build a swimming pool.

The new board of directors approved the first budget of $15,000, and hired Tom Allen, the district’s first superintendent, at an annual salary of $6,000. Two buses - 1947

Fords - were purchased at $185 each.

“We had nothing but a board and $15,000,” Allen said of the early days. “The rest was a promise, a challenge and a risk.”

Sixty years later, Apex is preparing for another new era. In May, a $25 million bond issue was passed for construction of six projects: replacement of Secrest Youth and Teen Center, construction of the Fitzmorris Site Center/Pool, renovation of outdoor courts and addition of four new indoor courts at the Arvada Tennis Center, Lutz Sports Complex improvements,

Apex Center renovation and splash pad addition, and Long Lake Ranch Regional Park improvements.

Jefferson County budget increases slightly Jeffco commissioners to adopt budget Dec. 6 after public hearing

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With a slight increase of expenditures and revenues compared to 2016, the county’s balanced budget of $541.3 million proposed for 2017 is “sound and responsible,” said Daniel Conway, the county’s budget manager.

A public hearing on the 2017 Adopted Budget will take place during a regular meeting of the Board of County Commisssioners, beginning at 8 a.m. Dec. 6 in Hearing Room One in the Jefferson County government building, 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden.

Daniel Conway, the county’s budget manager, described it as “very sound and reasonable.”

A public hearing on the proposed budget will take place during a regular meeting of the Board of County Commisssioners, beginning at 8 a.m.

Dec. 6 in Hearing Room One in the Jefferson County government building, 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden.

According to the budget, the county expects revenues to increase by $2.3 million over last year.

Taxes make up about $290 million of the county’s revenue. Just about 50 percent of the county’s revenue comes from property taxes. Eight percent comes from auto ownership and fuel tax,and 12 percent from sales tax.

The remaining revenue comes from various areas, including licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, contributions and donations and charges for services, for example.

Expenditures are expected to increase in 2017 by about 5 percent.

By department, the sheriff has the highest expenditure fund at about 18 percent, followed by development and transportation at 15.5 percent and human services at 15.2 percent.

The county’s 2017 proposed operating budget is $441.7 million. Almost 45 percent of the county’s operating budget is used for salaries and benefits for its 3,000 employees. This category amounts to $242.3 million for the 2017 fiscal year. The county expects to add some 18 full-and-part time employees

About $220,000 is expected to be spent on park design development, primarily for trail development around the Rocky Flats area. Some park upgrades are expected to cost about $100,000. Upgrades include installing closure gates at Pine Valley Ranch Park, White Ranch Park and South Valley Park.

Jeffco Open Space’s mission is to preserve parklands, protect park resources and provide nature-based experiences for all, said Matt Robbins, Jeffco Open Space’s community connections manager. Concerning the budget, Open Space is appreciative of the county commissioners’ consideration and collaborative work to ensure Open Space can be well-enjoyed by all residents, Robbins said.

“The people of Jefferson County have said, repeatedly, how important open space is,” he said. “That’s why we’re all invested in this.”

to staff in 2017.

Countywide capital projects total about $58.9 million. About $29.3 million will be used for one-time capital expenditures. Examples of some one-time capital projects for 2017 come from the facilities department for roof audits on county buildings, and the IT department for internet fiber replacement.

The county budget also has funds for certain amenities or services. For example, these include the airport, Head Start, public health and human services funds — used mostly to pay for capital improvement projects.

The Jefferson County Public Library fund is about $6.4 million, which comes from the mill levy that was passed by voters last year. The largest project for the library in 2017 is the remodel of the Columbine Library, which is budgeted at $4.25 million.

But the library will also focus on providing access to more books and materials, and expanding its technology offerings, said Brian DeLaet, chairman of the library board.

“We’re excited to be restoring and expanding library services in Jefferson County,” he said. “Our mission is to help build an educated and vibrant community by providing equal access

Quixotic campaign demonstrates real leadership

HITING HOME

I

Michael Alcorn

November 3, 2016N

’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to the idea of leadership.

Can’t imagine why.

Leadership is one of those hard-to-define characteristics that are essential to the proper functioning of organizations. And it’s hard to define because there are so many different styles of leadership. There’s the high-minded, philosophical type; there’s the micro-manager; there’s also the force-of-will brilliant types; screamers, or calm. And all of those styles work, in the right settings and with the right people.

What does a good leader look like? I can’t tell you, but I know it when I see it.

Actually, one of my favorite aspects of

teaching young adults was always trying to develop the leadership capacity of the students I had. And, I’ll be honest—my track record was mixed, at best. My own shortcomings hampered their growth. And, let’s face it, young adults have a difficult enough time leading themselves from one place to the next without worrying about leading any of their peers around. Still, there were some who just got it, and were (and are still) amazing.

One of my most basic tenets of leadership that I tried to impress on them was that “Leadership is Service.” The leader, at his or her core, is not the one who orders people around, but is the one who sees a need and does something about it. If that means

cleaning up after everyone else goes home, then so be it. If that means taking on special projects, then so be it. If that means arriving early to work with individuals who are struggling, then so be it. That is what leadership is. Only after a group sees somebody doing those kinds of things are they willing to follow them.

Which, I guess, is what is so distressing about the state of politics in America right now. Political office has become a “good gig,” whose best use is to land the next good gig, whether that be on reality television or, say, running a foundation.

SEE ALCORN, P11

Open your heart eagerly Most of us open our hearts on occasion, but many do this far too infrequently.

While this is a learned trait, it’s also something that is easily changed. It’s easily changed Glenn Bott if you want to. An open heart provides more joy, better health, improved and stronger relationships, lots more fun, and an overall glow. With all of these benefits, what are you waiting for?

We’ve been trained since little kids to behave a certain way and use our heads more than our hearts. Much of this training was from the understanding that our brains are our “knowledge” organ. Our hearts were thought to be a muscle designed to pump blood throughout our body.

Recent studies prove this is not the case. We are far more powerful and diverse than originally thought. Rigorous studies by HeartMath, Heart/ Mind Connection, etc., are trailblazers in demonstrating this connection and using it to your benefit.

Switching to a habit of opening your heart is very

achievable. No magic involved, but it does take intention and discipline. You’re spent years building the habit of living with a closed heart so you can’t stop doing this immediately. It’s like turning an aircraft carrier around – it doesn’t happen on a dime. You’ve built a lot of momentum moving in the direction of choice and you can’t just change this in an instant.

What you can do in an instant is make the decision to change and start a new habit. From this point forward it takes diligence and a commitment, but you will ultimately succeed. As with building any habit, reward yourself along the way. Look for things during your day to open your heart to.

Anything — just find more and more things to appreciate. The sunrise. The fact that you have a beautiful house to live in.

Your health. The great variety of people you work with. Find something in each person that you can open your heart to.

The fact that you live in an abundant, free, society with a plethora of choices. It really doesn’t matter what it is, just open your heart to it and find something to love about it.

Look for reasons to open your heart. Get creative and make a game of it. With practice you’ll get very good at viewing life

I was an innocent 16, on a bus to a Quaker work camp, and a man sat next to me and to my shock soon I felt a touch on my upper thigh. I couldn’t move away and didn’t know what to do.

LETTERS: Think about the children FROM PAGE 10

mother had to carry a hat pin on the subway. Parents: Prepare your daughters, teach your sons. “We are mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it any more.” Time for women and girls to be nasty, not nice.

Judy Denison, Golden Easy for even kids to do good As founder of the Stink Bug Project — a nonprofit that pairs companion dogs with seriously ill children — I know it’s possible for young people like me to make an impact in the world. Probably more than at any other time, young people today are aware of the challenging issues of our times.

I was only nine when I created the

Stink Bug Project after my own fight with brain cancer. Helping kids feel better during a serious illness has been the most rewarding experience of my life. Other young people can feel this kind of gratification by finding a cause they care about and supporting it through fundraising among friends and family, volunteering or donating money.

Hundreds of Colorado nonprofits need our support. One of the easiest ways to find a good cause is through a new website created especially for kids. It’s called KidsforColoradoGives.org, and if you’ve ever donated on ColoradoGives.org, then you’re already familiar with this easy, secure platform.

I’m living proof that you’re never too young to change someone’s life.

BOTT: Multiple choices to make FROM PAGE 10

with an open heart and this will become your “normal” mode of operation. You won’t remember how you did it otherwise and will soon forget your old ways of living and making decisions. There isn’t anything wrong with that way – it’s just not as complete and is detrimental to your long-term health. By opening your heart you gain input which is oftentimes much better than just making a rational decision.

The way we were taught to live life and make decisions is just that – a way. Not necessarily “THE WAY” — just a way. There are a multitude of ways to live and choices to make.

So why not start living with an open heart and relish the new experiences and feelings? Add another dimension to your life’s experiences and move forward with a sense of love and anticipation. These are much

preferred over dread and loathing.

Begin to make decisions using your heart. Instead of living in your head all the time and making “logical” choices, begin to incorporate your heart and the “feeling” of the situation or desired action. Your heart is a great integrator and will take into account your mental and emotional states and guide you. We are now learning that your heart is actually able to tap into other vibrations and integrate this information if you will only allow it.

Arvada’s Glenn Bott is enthusiastic about life and everything he does!

He speaks and consults on Business Aikido which is the art of turning any event you encounter to your advantage. He shares what he learned by successfully reinventing himself after recovering from a severe brain injury.

ALCORN: Independent inspires FROM PAGE 10

Which is why it was so refreshing to hear Evan McMullin explain why he’s running for president.

- Yeah, that’s Evan McMullin, with two “L’s.”

Haven’t heard of him? I’m not surprised, though he has become a bit of a media darling lately. Evan McMullin is running for president as an Independent, and his entire strategy is based around winning Utah (which, according to some polls, he is doing), which will then deny either of the major party candidates enough electoral votes to win the presidency, at which point the whole election would go to the House of Representatives, where he thinks he might be able to win.

Talk about trying to draw to an inside straight.

So, I went to hear McMullin speak last week in Lakewood, just to see if there was anything more to this quixotic campaign than a protest.

And, it turns out, there is. As McMullin explains it, Trump is an unacceptable candidate, so somebody needed to challenge him to represent core

American values. And, after hearing too many “leaders” in Washington rationalize their unwillingness to take that on themselves, he came to two realizations: One, somebody has to do this. And two, if nobody else will, then he would.

It’s not like he went into 2016 dreaming of spending the entire last half of the year on the road, eating rubber chicken dinners, trying to convince people that voting for him wouldn’t be a wasted vote. He did it because he saw a need, and decided to do something about it.

I wouldn’t put money on his electoral strategy panning out, but it is refreshing to hear somebody in politics talking like they understand what service is, and, by extension, what real leadership is.

And, also, in a pleasant change of pace this year, I didn’t feel like I needed to take a shower after listening to his speech.

The next day Eric would vanish completely.

The last time Eric, 25, was seen was right about midnight on July 22. He and his fiancée were hosting some friends at their Lakewood condominium, and after a discussion about recent violence toward police, he said he needed to get some air.

He never returned.

“He walked out without any shoes on, but had his wallet and cellphone,” said Randy. “There’s been nothing since then.”

In the more than three months since his disappearance, family, friends, colleagues and police have not given up hope that Eric will return home.

But as time stretches on without any clues, family and investigators are left with unanswered questions.

“This case is still strange to me,” said Lakewood Detective Timmy Marquez. “We don’t know whether he left the area under duress, if something was done to him, or if he did something to himself. We just don’t know.”

There has been no indication of foul play, Marquez added, but without any clues, it cannot be ruled out either.

It was about 12 hours before police received a call that Eric was missing, but once they did, a search was immediately started. Since the condo Eric lived in is in the Green Mountain area, with trailheads just across the street, that was the area first searched by police and volunteers. Randy said a large portion of Green Mountain was searched on foot, horse, trained dogs and even by drone, with nothing to show for it.

“We worked with the FBI, and were able to obtain Eric’s cellphone records,” Marquez said. “The FBI was also able to analyze Eric’s cell data, to give us other areas to try to search.”

Eric had been taking CPR and first aid classes at St. Anthony Hospital, so the area around the hospital was searched. According to Randy, the search has expanded as far the Stone House, located at South Estes and

Lakewood resident and South Park Ambulance District employee Eric Pracht, 25, went missing on July 22. Anyone who may have seen Pracht is encouraged to contact police at 303-987-7111 immediately.

COURTESY PHOTO West Yale Avenue. Still nothing.

There has been no activity on Eric’s phone, credit and debit cards or social media pages, either, according to Steve Davis, Lakewood’s public information officer.

“The case isn’t closed, and we’re not giving up hope, but it’s just hard,” Marquez said. “We still have some K-9 units searching, and have new areas mapped out to try.”

Both Eric’s family and police are urging anyone who may have seen anything to contact police at 303987-7111. Eric is described as 5-foot 11-inches tall, weighing 150 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes.

“We want to people to call the moment they see anything,” Marquez said. “Don’t wait because you may be unsure.”

Randy and the rest of Eric’s family just want answers.

“He’s a good kid and we miss him,” Randy said. “We love him, and just want him to come back, no questions asked.”

Check out different options for Turkey Day

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether it’s a slice of juicy white meat or a slab of greasy dark meat, the staple of a Thanksgiving meal is the turkey.

How a turkey is prepped and cooked differs from household to household.

Some swear by an old family recipe.

Some look to food magazines for inspiration. And some prefer to let other people do the cooking.

Whatever it may be, there are plenty of options for Turkey Day in metro Denver.

Attend a class

Uncorked Kitchen — an interactive dining experience in Centennial — has upcoming classes for those that need some inspiration or help in the kitchen.

Owners Eric and Katie Robbins opened the kitchen, at 171 S. Chester St., just over a year ago. The kitchen hosts a variety of events, including cooking lessons, private parties and date nights.

On Nov. 16, Uncorked presents a Taste of Uncorked - Thanksgiving Day Sides class. The hands-on lesson will leave participants with two classic dishes made from scratch, including a fresh green bean casserole and roasted sweet potatoes with a twist.

And on Nov. 23, the kitchen is hosting a Take & Eat Pies class.

“You leave with your sides and pies for Thanksgiving so all you have to do is cook your turkey,” Katie Robbins said.

Although the classes don’t focus on prepping a turkey, chefs can answer any questions a turkey-cooker may have, Robbins said.

FIVE WAYS TO COOK A TURKEY BRAISED — The turkey is fried and then stewed for juicier meat.

FRIED — The turkey is fried in oil or fat, which takes less time.

GRILLED — The turkey is cooked on an outdoor grill, which in turn creates more room in the kitchen.

SMOKED — The turkey is cooked in a smoker, a type of barbecuing or slow cooking that adds to the flavor.

SPATCHCOCKED — The turkey is laid flat — backbone removed — for quicker cooking time and crispier skin.

Source: Reviewed.com, part of the USA Today network One of those chefs is her husband, Eric. He recommends two types of turkey-prep methods. The first is spatchcocking — when the bird is flattened into one layer by removing the backbone — which a butcher can do.

In turn, the meat is moist and the skin is crunchier.

The reason Eric likes it is because he can get butter and herbs beneath the skin.

“And everything cooks at the same time,” he said.

The second style Eric prefers is a roulade turkey. The bird is butterflied, filled with ingredients such as aromatics and greens, rolled up and roasted. For the inside, Eric likes to use a bitter green, such as kale, and sweet potatoes or cranberries.

“If you want a little crunch,” he said, “you can put in some nuts, like pecans.”

The final product is a slice of meat with a kick of flavor in the center.

SEE TURKEY, P15

for?

WORLD’S SIMPLEST TURKEY from the Food Network, an American cable channel Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Pull the neck and giblets out of the cavity; throw out the liver and save the rest of the giblets for gravy.

Dry the turkey with paper towels, season inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill the turkey with chopped onions, carrots, apples and herbs, then place breast-side up in a roasting pan and brush with melted butter.

Tent with foil and roast for 2 hours — for a 10- to 12-pound turkey; add an extra 15 minutes per pound for larger birds.

Remove the foil, baste with more melted butter and crank the oven to 425 degrees. Roast for another hour or until the meat at the thigh registers 165 degrees. Let rest while you make the gravy.

TURKEY: Cooking the bird, from page 14 Use your resources

One step into a supermarket and you’ll find everything you need, from the recipe to the ingredients.

Several food-focused magazines, such as Saveur, Food & Wine and the Food Network, are sold in chain grocery stores. Some publications, like Bon Appetit Magazine, list ingredients and step-by-step directions. The easy-tofollow lingo makes cooking for a crowd a little less daunting.

And if you’re in a time crunch, some supermarkets will prepare the entire Thanksgiving meal.

Whole Foods Market has a selection of Thanksgiving menus online, including the Classic Thanksgiving Dinner Menu, the Unexpected Thanksgiving Menu, the Vegan Thanksgiving Menu and more. All menu items include ingredients, directions, number of servings and nutritional information.

All you have to do is fill out a form online or in-store and voila — your Thanksgiving meal is taken care of.

Make a reservation

If you want to skip the dirty dishes, several restaurants in metro Denver offer Thanksgiving Day specials.

Kachina Southwestern Grill, 10600 Westminster Blvd. in Westminster, is hosting an allyou-can-eat meal starting at 11 a.m. on Nov. 24.

Recommendations are strongly recommended, said Andrea Keller, morning supervisor.

“People come back every year for the food,” Keller said.

The cost is $45 per adult and $15 per child.

The restaurant serves a traditional turkey dinner with a southwestern flare. On the dessert menu is churros and spicy chocolate ice cream. Customers like the idea of unlimited food and being waited on, Keller said.

“And it’s the atmosphere in the restaurant,” she said. “It’s just comforting.”

Another option is Zink Kitchen + Bar. The Greenwood Village restaurant, at 7801 E Orchard Road, offers a Thanksgiving buffet from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 24. Reservations are required. The cost is $37.95 for adults, $16.95 for ages 7-15 and free for ages 6 and under.

Zink will have a hot, cold and sweet bar equipped with traditional Thanksgiving plates, such as slow-roasted turkey breast with thyme country gravy, loaded mashed potatoes and house-made pumpkin pie.

The buffet is an experience, the restaurant’s host, Ricky Pheng, said. The chefs are approachable, the service is quick and the food is comforting.

“We will make you feel like you’re not just here to eat,” Pheng said. “You’re here to be a part of the celebration of Thanksgiving.”

Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means it’s time to start planning for turkey prep. The options are endless, from a traditional roast turkey to a grilled turkey on top of a beer can.

Nontraditional recipes If you’re looking to stray away from a roasted turkey, check out these not-so-traditional recipes: Salt- and-Pepper Grilled Turkey Ingredients: 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup coarse salt 2 tablespoons freshly ground pepper 1 large fresh or thawed frozen turkey — about 22 pounds — rinsed and patted dry.

Directions: Combine oil, salt, and pepper to make a paste.

Rub over outside of turkey.

Tie legs together with kitchen twine.

Place about 50 coals in a chimney starter, and ignite; heat until just gray. Place a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum roasting pan in the center of the bottom rack. Pour coals onto rack on either side of pan, dividing them evenly. Replace top grill rack.

Place turkey on center of rack over pan, and cover.

Grill, adding 8 coals to each pile every 45 minutes to maintain heat, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding bone, registers 165 degrees.

Begin checking after about 3 hours. Tent with parchment-lined foil. Let stand 30 minutes.

Source: marthastewart. com BBQ Turkey Ingredients 2 cups butter, divided 15-pound whole turkey, neck and giblets removed ¼ cup chicken soup base

3 sweet onions, peeled and cut into wedges 5 apples, cored and cut into wedges 2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste 750-milliliter bottle dry white wine Directions: Preheat a gas grill for low heat.

Rub some of the butter all over the turkey, inside and out, then rub with chicken base.

Cut remaining butter into cubes and toss with onions, apples and garlic in a large bowl. Stuff the bird with this mixture and place in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Fold the turkey skin around the neck area to cover the hole. Turn the turkey over and pour wine into the opening at the other end until the turkey is full. Set the turkey breast side up.

Place the roasting pan on the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you have a pop-up timer or heat-safe meat thermometer, insert it into the turkey breast. Close the lid.

Roast until the temperature in the breast reads 170 degrees and the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees, about 4 hours depending on the temperature.

When the temperature is getting close, remove the aluminum foil covering the turkey and allow it to brown during the final minutes of cooking. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

New media use plan helps families T

he latest journal of Pediatrics October 2016 (aappublications.org), has released new recommendations for technology use by children. The report “Media and Young Minds” relates how technology can be managed in the home (healthychildren.org/Media Use Plan), the number of suggested hours of screen time and helpful hints for parental guidance.

LIFELONG LEARNING Esther Macalady

Positive technology The report mentions some positive aspects and uses. Pediatricians still maintain that children younger than 18 to 24 months, a time of rapid brain development, should not have screen time. However, it is healthy for families to get together with online resources like Facebook and Skype to chat with relatives and friends. Technology allows far-flung families to see

each other, communicate and nurture connections.

If parents want to introduce some shows or apps, they should watch with children and be very selective. Even infants exposed to screen media blue light while in the lap show significantly shorter night-time sleep duration than those with no evening screen exposure. Reading ebooks is different from reading a traditional book with illustrations on an adult’s lap.

This age is better off on the floor actively playing and talking with family.

According to the report, “Because of their immature symbolic memory and attentional skills, infants and toddlers cannot learn from traditional digital media as they do from interactions with caregivers, and they have difficulty transferring that knowledge to their 3-dimensional experience. The chief factor that facilitates toddlers’ learning from commercial media (starting around 15 months of age)

is parents watching with them and reteaching the content.”

The report’s authors include Dr. Jenny Radesky from the University of Michigan and Dr. Megan Moreno from the Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Guidelines recommend children ages 2-5 have a one-hour limit of screen time. They again recommend that families watch with the children, talk about what is being seen, and carefully select shows from PBS Kids and the Sesame Street Workshop.

Children need to be active, talking and reading with adults. There is no substitute for human interaction and relationship for developing a healthy brain and the rest of the body.

According to the new report, children flourish during unstructured time. They need to get outside discovering things in 3- D rather than on a two-dimensional screen, crucial for development.

Doable reasonable guidelines Pediatricians continue to urge families to include one hour of physical activity, 8-12 hours of sleep, and unplugged family time like meals.

Ban screen time one hour before bedtime since noise and light can disrupt sleep. Discourage use of entertainment media during homework time since multitasking interferes with learning. Monitored educational sites can help with homework learning. Continue to monitor what kids watch and do online. Discuss on-line bullying, sexting and other hazards with older children.

Defense leads No. 1 Pomona football past No. 10 Chaparral

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

PARKER — Pomona football continued its mastery of the Class 5A Mt. Evans League on Oct. 28.

The Panthers, No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com 5A football poll since early September, rolled to another conference victory. Pomona (8-1, 4-0 in league) defeated No. 10 Chaparral 40-7 on the road at EchoPark Stadium.

“We needed a big game like this to get us back in that, ‘Pomona Football’ mindset,” Pomona senior Brandon Micale said.

Pomona has now outscored its four league opponents 187-28.

“They come to play every night.

They aren’t worried about who they are playing. They just come to play and that is what we need to do,” Pomona coach Jay Madden said with one week left of the regular season before playoffs begin. “There are a lot of good teams out there. We are going to have our work cutout for us. We are going to enjoy this one.”

Pomona’s defense enjoyed itself Friday night in spoiling senior night for the Wolverines. If not for a 72yard touchdown pass from Chaparral senior quarterback Taden Blaise to junior Peyton Ross that included a rare miss tackle by the Panthers, Pomona would have likely shut out Chaparral.

“It was a missed sack on a scramble play, besides that, the defense played great,” Madden said of the Wolverines’ lone score.

Helping Pomona to the victory was touchdowns on defensive and special

November 3, 2016N

Pomona senior Uriah Vigil (33) tackles Chaparral senior KJ Phillips on Oct. 28 at EchoPark Stadium. The Panthers’ defense was dominate allowing just one Wolverine touchdown in a 40-7 victory for Pomona.

DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS teams. Senior Uriah Vigil intercepted Blaise on the opening drive of the game and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown at the 7:39 mark in the first quarter.

“We manned up on them. We had watched it on film and sure enough, it was there,” Vigil said of his interception when he jumped a route in the flat. “It was a momentum change right off the bat.”

A two-yard touchdown run by Pomona senior Cameron Gonzales and a pair of field goals by senior Tyler Thimsen pushed the Panthers’ lead to 20-7 at halftime.

Junior Max Borghi made his presence known in the third quarter.

After sending several punts out-ofbounds with Borghi as the returner in the first half, Chaparral decided to punt to Borghi after the Wolverines’ first offensive possession stalled in the third quarter.

After Borghi initially dropped the punt, he eluded a few defenders and returned the punt 64 yards for a

KEEPING SCORE WITH...

touchdown with 7:28 left in the third quarter to put Pomona up 27-7.

Marquez connected with sophomore Billy Pospisil for a 28-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-down play in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter to make the score 34-7.

The defense came up with one last big play with Vigil grabbing his second interception on the night.

Take out the 72-yard pass play in the first quarter, Pomona’s defense held Chaparral to under 150 yards of total offense.

“We know our defense needs to be a big factor in every game,” Vigil said.

“As soon as we get rolling and then our offense gets rolling, it’s all over after that. We are hard to stop when we get some momentum.”

Pomona’s back-up quarterback Colten Muller put the icing on the cake with a 36-yard touchdown run with under two minutes to play to make the final score 40-7.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS

Kasey Klocek | Freshman cross-country | Green Mountain High School What is your favorite movie?

McFarland, USA is my favorite movie. It was the first movie that I had watched about cross country and I really enjoyed it.

What is your favorite pre-competition meal?

My favorite pre-competition meal is spaghetti and meatballs. Our squad of runners has a tradition of holding spaghetti dinners at a different person’s house the night before every meet. Having this tradition makes it easy to eat consistently before a meet and enjoy delicious food.

Why do you participate in sports?

I run because of my love and respect for the sport as well as the awesome team. The Green Mountain cross country team is the most welcoming, close knit group of people that I have ever met. The coaches are understanding, talented, and approachable; some of the best coaches I have ever had. The athletes and coaches are my second family and it is incredible to bond with everyone the team.

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals?

I have many pre-competition superstitions and rituals. One that I have is how I wear my hair in two Dutch braids, done by a teammate, for every meet.

Running state solo

onderosa’s Cameron Nuzman didn’t have any teammates in the race, but he wasn’t alone while running the course at Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs during the state cross country championships.

Nuzman warmed up by himself, not with six or seven teammates like many fellow competitors. He was the only Ponderosa runner who qualified OVERTIME for the Oct. 29 state meet.

But many members of the Mustangs’ team were on hand to support Nuzman.

“It helps to have the team there, even if they were not runJim Benton ning,” he said.

Nuzman, a senior, finished 43rd in the boys 4A race with a time of 17:12.5.

Green Mountain freshman Kasey Klocek, who was the only Rams’ qualifier in the girls 4A race, was fourth in the individual standings with a 19:12.6 clocking.

“It wasn’t bad being the only runner,” she said. “I had the team cheering me on.”

An ice day I have always admired runners, but sometimes it doesn’t look fun at the end of cross country races.

It was a warm day with the tempera- R ture reaching near 75 degrees at the state cross country championships and there were plenty of runners ushered into the medical tent for aid.

It looked way too busy to me, but apparently it was not unusual, according to a medical technician who said it was pretty typical with dehydration, exhaustion and swelled knees and ankles after falls.

It was estimated that at the start of the day there were at least 30, 20-pound bags of ice on hand to help runners recover.

Jeffco softball honors Jefferson County announced its allleague softball selections, and the top individual honors were shared by four schools.

Arvada West’s Brenna Millikan was tabbed as the Class 5A Coach of the Year and pitcher Gianna Browly of Ralston Valley was selected as the Most Valuable Player.

In the Class 4A Jeffco, Valor Christian junior pitcher Ali Kilponen was named the Player of the Year and Dan Porreco of D’Evelyn was the Coach of the Year.

Ralston Valley bounced from state soccer tournament in opening round

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Horizon moved on to the second round of the Class 5A boys soccer state tournament with a road victory Oct. 27 at the North Area Athletic Complex.

The No. 21 seeded Hawks scored a pair of goals in the first 10 minutes of the opening half on the way to a 3-1 win over the 5A Jeffco League champs, No. 12 Ralston Valley.

Horizon senior Noah Engen was key in the two early goals for the Hawks (9-6-1 record). Engen served a perfect pass to sophomore Devin Marquez in the 6th minute. Marquez headed the ball over Ralston Valley junior goalie Jared Peterson for the 1-0 lead.

Four minutes later, Engen did it all himself with a long blast that found the back of the next. The Hawks led 2-0 after 10 minutes and held that two-goal lead at halftime.

Ralston Valley’s Erik Makic, Han Trznadel and John Newlon all had scoring chances late in the first half for the Mustangs. However, Ralston Valley (11-5) couldn’t cut into the 2-0 lead before halftime.

Horizon added an insurance goal in the 54th minute with a goal from junior Sawyer Cirbo on Ralston Valley sophomore goalie Cooper Steputis, who came in at net for Peterson after the two early goals.

Ralston Valley did break up the shutout bid in the 68th minute with a goal off the foot of junior Nick Nowlen, but it wasn’t enough as Horizon held on for the victory.

Horizon moved onto the next round where it will face the winner of No. 28 Far Northeast Warriors and No. 5 Fairview on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

Horizon had success against 5A Jeffco teams during its regular season. The Hawks defeated Arvada West and Chatfield in late August to begin their season.

Ralston Valley had some remarkable statistics when it comes to its balanced offensive scoring this season. The Mustangs’ leading goal scorers during the regular season were senior Riley McNamara and Trznadel with four goals each.

Ralston Valley had 11 different players put the ball into the back of the net in regular-sea-son play.

First-year head coach Jamie Scarcliff — a Ralston Valley graduate who took over the post during the summer — was named Coach of the Year in the 5A Jeffco League this fall. The Mustangs went undefeated in conference play winning the 5A Jeffco title.

A construction company working on a water system replacement project in the mobile home park hit a two-inch, high pressure double-feed gas line at about 10 minutes before 11 a.m., said Wes Polk, the incident commander with Golden Fire Department.

Golden police and fire and rescue arrived on scene shortly after.

Xcel Energy arrived at about 11:15 a.m. and was stopped the leak by about 11:20 a.m., Polk said. No injuries occurred from the incident, and residents were allowed back into their homes at about 11:30 a.m., he said.

Martha Hamburger, a resident on intersecting B Street, reported hearing the sirens and smelling a strong odor resembling rotten eggs — a smell added to gas lines to help warn of a leak.

The community has to deal with power outages every once in a while, said Hamburger, who has lived in her residence since 1999, “but nothing quite like this.”

The incident gave another B Street resident, Joyce Clinger, a little bit of a scare. Being from the East Coast where gas lines are old — some as old as the 1880s, she said — Clinger has seen reports of housing blowing up from gas leaks.

The water system replacement project has been going on since spring of this year, and residents estimated the project is supposed to wrap up by the end of October.

Clinger, who has lived in her home for 16 years, heard about the gas leak from a neighbor, who was told of it from a different neighbor. B Street residents have a good, neighborly relationship, Clinger said.

“This little group takes care of each other,” she said. “It’s a good street.”

FOOTBALL: New boys lacrosse coach named for ThunderRidge Grizzlies team The Panthers had already defeated No. 2 Mullen and No. 7 Valor Christian.

Pomona’s lone loss this season was to Georgia’s Glynn Academy in a game that was played in Florida.

FROM PAGE 25

The victory over Chaparral marked the third victory over a top-10 team in the ranking this season for Pomona.

Pomona will attempt to run its winning streak to eight and more importantly clinch an automatic postseason berth when the Panthers face Cherokee Trail at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, at the

North Area Athletic Complex. Pomona would win the Mt. Evans League title and earn one of the automatic bids given to the seven 5A conference champions.
