Candidates for Congress get combative Coffman, Crow target each other’s credibility in Aurora event

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With less than three weeks left before Election Day, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and Democratic challenger Jason Crow went for the political jugular at a forum that saw attacks on credibility as much as it drew lines between the candidates on immigration, gun reform and how the younger generation can succeed in today’s economy.

Coffman, a Republican, held up on stage a printed online biography on Crow from his law firm, calling Crow out for defending people accused of white-collar crime.

And that was just the opening statement.

The race for the seat in the 6th Congressional District — which includes Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Brighton and part of Thornton, among other areas — offers Coffman his steepest challenge yet in a district known for its ethnic diversity. FiveThirtyEight, a prominent data-based political outlet, gives Crow an 8.5-point advantage across polls conducted since February. Local analysts have said it’s likely the outcome of the race will reflect whether Democrats can take control of the U.S. House.

But they also say not to count out Coffman, who has defied the odds before.

Here’s what the candidates had to say Oct. 17 at a forum hosted by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and the Aurora Association of Realtors.

Taking shots Coffman, a five-term congressman, attacked Crow over two versions of the bio on the website for the Holland & Hart law firm, after Coffman’s campaign handed out copies before the forum started.

One version from 2016 notes Crow is an attorney in the firm’s “commercial litigation,” “government affairs”

and “white collar defense” groups.

The current version mentions similar topics but omits the “white collar” term in the initial description. Crow’s campaign site points to “pro bono” work and “helping local businesses both small and large” understand regulations.

Not to be outdone, the Army veteran came back with a quip about Coffman’s stance on gun control.

“I just got the first ‘F’ of my life,” Crow said, referring to his rating from the National Rifle Association, an organization that widely opposes gun-control measures. “My opponent has an ‘A’ from the NRA.” Coffman, also a military veteran, started swinging again when asked about campaign-finance policy.

“If you’re going to say, ‘I’m not going to take corporate (political action committee) money,’ and you take it from the leadership PACs,” Coffman said, “that’s not being honest. And that’s what Jason Crow is doing right now.”

Leadership PACs are often set up by members of Congress and other

political leaders to support federal or non-federal candidates, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Coffman’s campaign claims Crow has received money from leadership PACs that take funds from corporate sources, despite Crow’s repeated pledge not to accept corporate PAC funds.

Crow took the opportunity to advocate for overturning “Citizens United,” referring to a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that protected the political spending ability of corporations and unions.

“To be clear, there’s only one person on this stage who’s taking corporate PAC money, and it’s the gentleman sitting to my right,” Crow said. “I’ve taken none of that money.”

As of Sept. 30, Crow had received roughly $4.5 million in total receipts — contributions and other money received — and Coffman had received about $3.2 million, according to the election commission.

‘Behind closed doors’ While discussing immigration reform, Crow brought up a recording of Coffman and criticized “the difference in his rhetoric on the campaign trail versus what he says behind closed doors.”

That’s a reference to a recording of Coffman the The Washington Post reported in August, in which he said President Donald Trump “probably has a more generous plan for DACA than I would (propose),” according to the newspaper. The federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy gives protected status to those who arrived illegally in the U.S. as children.

In the recording, Coffman said the country needs to “transition to zero tolerance,” the Post reported.

This spring, the Trump administration announced a zero-tolerance policy to prosecute as many bordercrossing offenses as possible, national outlets reported. Adults were sepa-

rated from more than 2,300 children at the U.S.-Mexico border during the resulting process. Coffman vocally opposed separating families, a practice the administration later reversed.

At the forum, Coffman called Crow’s statements “a gross distortion of what I said.”

Coffman previously told Colorado Community Media he differed with Trump over how many DACA-eligible immigrants should be provided a potential path to citizenship.

Trump floated a number of 1.8 million, “higher than anyone used,” Coffman said. But Coffman did vote for Trump’s proposed number, he added.

“We need a path to citizenship for the 800,000 on DACA,” Coffman said at the forum, adding he would support a renewable work visa for undocumented adults who haven’t broken other laws. He supports a transition to a more stringent enforcement policy but wants to allow those already here to “come out of the shadows,” he told CCM previously.

Crow went further, saying the country needs “a path to citizenship for (all) 11 million folks who are here for those who have not committed violent crime,” Crow said.

He also voiced support for the DREAM Act — for “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors,” first introduced in 2001 but never passed by both houses of Congress.

Generally, it would give a path to citizenship to those who arrived as children.

‘American dream’ fading?

The jabs between the candidates slowed during talks on housing affordability and college debt.

Crow noticed a common theme at community and public events during his campaign, he said: People in their 20s, 30s and early 40s see a wide gulf between them and where their parents and grandparents were at their age, he said.

“They believe the American dream is eluding them,” Crow said, citing complaints young people can’t keep up with the cost of housing or health care.

Defending the Affordable Care Act while also being willing to improve on it, and student loan-forgiveness programs for teaching, firefighting, and other public and high-demand private positions, would be part of the solution, Crow said.

Coffman said more progress is needed regarding the constructiondefects issue in Colorado — critics have said it’s too easy to bring lawsuits regarding condominium construction, stifling development — so more affordable units can spring up.

The congressman also said when he visits schools, particularly in lowerincome areas, he is told the metric of success is a four-year degree. It’s a problem when young people get degrees that would land them the same kind of job as if they hadn’t gone to college, Coffman said.

Schooling “needs to be more focused on skills-based education,” he added. “Jobs that pay a living wage.”

Centennial Sears to close after decades Streets at SouthGlenn location caught in chain’s struggles

on various household goods — still dot the metro area and the state, the website states.

“I’ll miss it,” said Debbie Lefevre, 69, coming out of the Sears on the afternoon of Oct. 17. “I think it means a lot because the older people shopped here.”

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About six decades ago, a young Sue Rosser and her sisters would eagerly await the arrival of the Sears catalog.

The Christmas toy catalog was the most anticipated, a dog-eared window into the excitement that lay outside her small Montana town. Her mother before her loved the store, growing up with it roughly three decades earlier.

Rosser, now 68, recently walked out of the Sears in Centennial carrying a bag bearing the “Lands’ End” brand name, one of the assets that keeps her coming back, years after the store was the destination for her kids’ school clothes.

But soon, Rosser and shoppers like her will be forced to move on to other options when the Sears at 7001 S. University Blvd. in The Streets at SouthGlenn closes.

“It’s a staple of this shopping center,” said Rosser, who lives nearby in the Willow Creek neighborhood. “And it’s just sad — it’s one more brick-andmortar gone.”

The store is one of 142 that will shutter near the end of the year nationwide, including 77 Sears and

Shoppers at the entrance to the Sears at 7001 S. University Blvd. on Oct. 22 in The Streets at SouthGlenn shopping center. The store has run for decades in the location in Centennial, first as part of the former Southglenn Mall. It’s set to close along with 76 other Sears locations nationwide near the end of the year, bringing the total of full Sears stores in Colorado to just seven, according to the company’s website. ELLIS ARNOLD 65 Kmart stores, according to Sears Holdings, the parent company for both outlets. One other Sears in Colorado — in Lakewood at 10785 W. Colfax Ave. — also will close, according to a news release by Sears Holdings. That’s in addition to 46 stores already set to close by November, the company said.

‘Just everything’ That afternoon, a few dozen shoppers walked the aisles at the Centennial store with smooth jazz playing in the background, punctuated by announcements to customers. On a monitor, a continuous infomercial for fitness machines played, overlapping the music.

The outlet, where rows of clothes, mattresses, workout equipment, outdoor tools and children’s toys all sat within a few steps of each other, stood as a relic of a sunsetting era in American consumerism.

Once the nation’s largest retailer — it started as a mail-order catalog in the 1880s — Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Oct. 15, the Associated Press reported. At its peak, the operator of Sears and Kmart had 4,000 stores in 2012 but will be left with a little more than 500 after this round of closures.

Over the decades, the growth of competition, such as Walmart and Home Depot, posed challenges for the former giant.

Centennial Airport receives environmental honor State public health, environment office gives nod for lighting, other efforts

Led by Centennial Airport staff members, from left to right, Mike Fronapfel, director of planning; Gina Conley, senior planner; and Dylan Heberlein, noise and environmental specialist, the airport’s lighting energy-reduction effort earned it a Bronze Level Achievement recognition from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Environmental Leadership Program.

Centennial Airport was one of 16 bronzelevel achievers honored at this year’s awards ceremony Oct. 9 in Glendale.

STAFF REPORT

Centennial Airport received an award from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for reducing energy use on its airfield, along with several other environmental efforts, according to a news release by the airport.

The department and its Pollution Prevention Advisory Board honored the airport and 167 other entities across the state at its annual Environmental Leadership Awards ceremony — part of the Colorado Environmental Leadership Program — in Glendale at Infinity Park Event Center earlier this month, according to the release.

The 50-year-old airport has reduced the energy footprint on two of its three runways, associated connectors and taxiways by more than 46,000 kilowatt-hours.

Former Gov. Bill Ritter, now founding director of the Center for the New Energy Economy at Colorado State University, served as keynote speaker.

Ritter, who also spoke at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, told the audience of 400 government, business and community leaders that the heavy lifting on environmental issues doesn’t always come from policymakers at the top, but rather “The real work is being done at the state and local level, and by the private sector,” according to the release.

The airport was among 16 bronzelevel winners statewide.

“We are very excited to be among those to be named a Bronze Level Achiever this year,” said Dylan Heberlein, noise and environmental specialist for the airport, in the release.

“While this is our first year to be recognized, it’s nice to know that what we’ve been doing here at the airport over the past five years has been on track.”

The state’s program, now in its 19th year, recognizes environmental achievements that help keep the state

A Centennial Sears staff member said he had a memo not to comment on the store’s closing. Another employee said the same on the phone, and he was not able to say how many employees work at the store.

“For us, we saw the biggest return when we replaced conventional incandescent edge lighting, along airportmovement areas, with low-energy light-emitting diode (LED) lights,” Heberlein said in the release. “Along with upgrades to airfield wiring and new, more efficient voltage regulators, we’ve seen a significant reduction in overall kWh usage over the past five years.”

In total, the airport replaced more than 1,000 runway and taxiway lights over the past five years, as well as lighting in 80 on-airfield directional signs.

“We’re making a lot of small changes that, for us, have delivered some really impressive results,” said Gina Conley, senior planner for the airport, in the release.

“I’ll have to go to Macy’s, Kohl’s, somewhere else for appliances,” Lefevre said.

‘Not surprising’ Over the years, “we have all” read about Sears closings across the country, said Robert Golden, president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

“So no, it isn’t surprising,” Golden said.

Sears, Roebuck and Co. sold the property at 7001 S. University Blvd. in August 2017 to NW Centennial LLC, a company listed with the same address as the Denver

The airport’s energy bills from 2015 to 2017 show a reduction of 46,440 kWh, or about $6,600 in savings.

According to statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, that savings could power four residential homes for just over a year.

“LED lighting lasts longer than conventional lighting, so there’s some noticeable savings when it comes to replacement parts,” Conley said in the release. “In addition, the LEDs are brighter, crisper, more visible, and that’s a big win when it comes to runway safety.”

Those numbers only reflect the energy savings for two of the three runways, Heberlein said.

“We will be replacing the lighting on our parallel runway (RWY 17R/35L) and its associated taxiway in the summer of 2020, so we expect to see even more reduction in energy use in the very near future,” Heberlein said in the release.

Formed in 2008, the roundtable is composed of elected and appointed officials from local municipalities and counties. The airport meets with them monthly to discuss the effects of aircraft noise on surrounding communities.

It is open to all Colorado businesses, industries, offices, educational institutions, municipalities, government agencies, communities, nonprofits and other organizations.

been a priority to the consumer,” Golden said. “However, I believe that there are segments of the consumer market and areas of retail that are seeing strong `in-person’ shopping experiences.”

Golden pointed to high traffic in evenings and weekends at The Streets at SouthGlenn — where the South Metro Chamber is located — and was confident in the Sears property’s future.

“I anticipate great things will happen with the property. Alberta Development Partners are a very progressive and thoughtful group,” said Golden, referring to The Streets at SouthGlenn’s developer.

Northwood Investors did not return a call or email seeking comment on what future plans may be for the site. An Alberta staff member deferred to Northwood for questions about future projects at the site because of Northwood’s ownership.

Rosser, the Centennial resident, lamented the loss of sales-tax revenue with Sears’ downfall, saying it matters to the whole city because it funds city functions throughout Centennial.

Rosser and her family have come to the Southglenn Sears since moving to the area in 1986, she said.

“We had kids,” Rosser said, “and shopped here.”

Governor candidates keep slugging as election nears Health care, energy, guns in spotlight as rivals stage another debate

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Republican state Treasurer Walker Stapleton and Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis clashed again over health care, guns and Colorado’s energy future in the fifth one-on-one debate of their gubernatorial race.

Stapleton again criticized Polis’ plans for a universal health care system, saying it will drastically boost taxes.

“You won’t be able to afford to live in Colorado anymore,” he said during the Oct. 13 debate in Colorado Springs.

Polis insisted Coloradans already pay too much for medical care and prescription drugs, especially compared with other industrialized countries with universal systems. “Coloradans are tired of being ripped off,” he said.

The debate in Colorado Springs was sponsored by The Gazette, Colorado Politics and KOAA-TV. Stapleton said Polis’ promotion of a 100 percent green energy grid for Colorado by 2040 would bankrupt Coloradans. Polis insisted his goal is both aspirational and market-based and that Colorado’s economy and climate depend on an all-of-the-above energy plan.

‘We don’t want a government telling us how to heat our homes or turn on our lights.’

‘Some of you didn’t choose to be activists in this cause. Gun violence chose you.’

Walker Stapleton

Jared Polis

Polis again called for restricting access to guns for those in crisis; Stapleton said he doesn’t support “unenforceable” gun restrictions. Polis urged voters to elect a pro-abortion rights governor; Stapleton said he would be a “pro-life governor” who would uphold “the law of the land” after both were asked what they’d do if the U.S. Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Stapleton seeks to capture a governor’s seat last held by a Republican in 2007. Democrats are banking on a Polis victory and an anti-Donald Trump “blue wave” to flip the state Senate and consolidate control of Colorado’s statehouse. Colorado’s Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is term-limited.

Earlier on Oct. 13, Stapleton had promised a good debate performance

as he urged a small group of Denver Republicans to get out the vote.

“We don’t want a government telling us how to heat our homes or turn on our lights,” said Stapleton. “This is a watershed election in so many ways for Colorado.”

Polis rallied a group of women, some with children in tow, with the antigun violence group Mothers Demand Action at his Denver headquarters on Oct. 13.

“Some of you didn’t choose to be activists in this cause,” Polis told them.

“Gun violence chose you.”

He renewed his call for a Colorado “red flag” law that would prevent those deemed a threat to themselves or others access to guns — a proposal killed this year by Republicans who control

Colorado’s state Senate.

Polis noted that Stapleton not only opposes a red flag law but has said he would repeal ammunition magazine bans and enhanced background checks passed in Colorado after the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting.

“If we don’t take the right path in this year’s race, there will be lives lost if red flag isn’t passed,” Polis declared.

“Know that you are on the right side of history.”

Like their Republican counterparts, Polis’ audience — also canvassing on Oct. 13 — was energized.

“We’re going to win. We have no option,” said Jessica Pettigrew, a 35-yearold Denver nurse and midwife who became involved after her five-year-old son, Julias, participated in a lockdown drill at school.

She wore a T-shirt with the words “Thoughts and Prayers” crossed out and beneath them: “Policy Change.”

“I refuse to pass down the epidemic of gun violence to the next generation,” Pettigrew said.

Coy Ebell, 35, a downtown Denver precinct captain for Stapleton and tech engineer, said he was encouraged despite Denver’s traditionally Democratic leanings. He said Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation had rallied the party.

“People are energized by some of what the left has done,” said Ebell.

“It’s still tough for us in a Democratic district, but people are so sick and tired of identity politics.”

Win or lose, the shooter got a candy reward.

Romanoff briefly touched on how a large population of the homeless have a severe mental illness.

He said the single largest source for treatment of mental health and substance abuse in the state, outside of Medicaid, is the Colorado Department of Corrections.

“This is a decision. It wasn’t an act of God that told us to turn our jails and prisons into warehouses for people with mental health and substance abuse disorders,” Romanoff said. “This is a product of the laws we passed, the budget priories we set and the decisions we made.”

Jim Gehres, also a member of the 3rd Third, said he was vaguely aware of the need for mental health treatment in prisons and among the homeless.

“I’m certainly in favor and intend to support any efforts to help with this situation,” he said Mental Health Colorado says the state ranks 43rd in national mental health care and lacks the necessary amount of psychiatric beds.

“If we’re serious about making Colorado a national leader in mental health care, we would put a much greater priority on prevention and early intervention,” Romanoff said. “We’d make sure these conditions are identified and appropriately diagnosed and effectively treated before they reach a crisis point — we’re not doing that.”

Several hundred individuals and families, the majority in costumes, attended the Oct. 20 event.

The gymnasium was transformed into an array of carnival-game booths.

There was a booth where the boy or girl got to shoot a tennis ball at a hockey goal and there was a booth with a bean-bag toss.

But win or lose the boy or girl got a candy treat.

Other attractions such as the haunted house were set up in other center rooms.

“We read about the carnival on line and decided to check it out. After all, the kids love any chance to wear their costumes,” Lakewood resident Laura Randall said. “The kids are having a great time. I admit I am surprised and impressed by all the activities. Our family is having fun and, as long as the kids want to come I expect we will come back every year.”

The line of those attending the carnival stretched out the door and once inside the recreation center crowded the gymnasium floor, the center of the carnival.

but it really was more fun for me than it was scary.”

Steve Hoffmann and his family attended the carnival for the first time.

“We heard about the carnival and thought it would be fun,” he said. “The carnival is well done and the kids are telling me they are enjoying it.”

His daughters, Jaylin, Brianna and Jessica agreed the carnival was fun but had different opinions about the haunted house.

Jaylin said she didn’t like the haunted house because she didn’t think the people playing the parts in the house were very good actors.

Brianna disagreed.

“I thought it was good but scary,” she said. “I think the scariest thing was when the killer clown said come play with me.”

The Levindosky family all agreed they liked the carnival.

“My wife and I have brought the kid to the carnival for about three or four years,” Centennial resident Sean Levindosky said. “Our family likes Halloween and all of us always like to dress up for it. We wear our costumes to the carnival and it is fun seeing all the different costumes. There is always a Halloween party in our neighborhood. My wife and I like to see what costumes other families are wearing because we are always looking for ideas for our costumes for next year.”

Steve Hoffmann and his family wore their costumes as they joined a large crowd attending the carnival.

The Hoffman family joined several hundred families and individuals, most wearing costumes.

Foreign caretakers, families play ghoulish golf Au pair workers gather at Monster Mini Golf to take in culture

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When in the states, do as the creatures do.

That’s the spirit that families and their au pairs — childcaretakers from other countries — were in as they played Halloween-themed mini-golf in Centennial Oct. 14.

The event at Monster Mini Golf, 8227 S. Holly St. in CenMtennial, was a gathering for Sthe caretakers’ host families and also functioned as a Trickor-Treat for UNICEF event.

Jennifer Morrow, a local child care consultant with Cultural Care Au Pair, which helps match families in the U.S. with au pairs, organized the event.

Program dedicated to youth mental health Partners for Children’s Mental Health tackle statewide issue

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In Colorado, suicide is the leading cause of death for youths ages 10-17, and one in six teens has a diagnosable mental health condition, Children’s Hospital Colorado reports.

Over the last decade, Children’s Hospital has seen a six-fold increase in admissions to its emergency departments and urgent care locations following a suicide attempt.

The hospital is committed to changing what experts describe as a youth mental health crisis.

“There isn’t a day that goes by that you don’t have to have really difficult conversations with your kids,” Children’s Hospital Colorado CEO and President Jena Hausmann said at a roundtable discussion with local media outlets on Oct. 22. Hausmann is also the mother of three teenagers.

“This will be years worth of work,” she said.

In October, the hospital rolled out a four-year strategic plan for Partners for Children’s Mental Health, a

program that brings together nonprofit organizations, pediatric experts, government agencies and stakeholders across the state to prioritize youth mental health.

The state attorney general’s office announced on Oct. 16 that it would provide a $2.8 million grant to support the program. The collaboration with hospitals and nonprofit organizations to increase access to pediatric mental health care is the first of its kind in the state, states a news release from the attorney general’s office.

Between June and September, Partners for Children’s Mental Health initiated a strategic planning process that involved more than 600 community stakeholders representing more than 260 organizations, including state and county departments, school systems, family members, hospitals, foundations and Medicaid.

Overarching goals were to establish a state entity to oversee the children’s behavioral health system, ensure high-quality behavioral health care and reduce barriers to accessing care, among other talking points.

“There needs to be a single point of accountability,” said Shannon Van Deman, executive director of PCMH and vice president of the hospital’s Pediatric Mental Health Institute.

Man, 36, dies at scene of motorcycle crash

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 36-year-old man was killed the afternoon of Oct. 18 when his motorcycle hit another vehicle in the 7300 block of South Colorado Boulevard, according to a news release from the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office.

Paralyzing illness spurs search for medical clues Most victims of puzzling disorder are children as time pattern starts to emerge

BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. health officials recently reported a jump in cases of a rare paralyzing illness in children, and said it seems to be following an every-other-year pattern.

At least 62 cases have been confirmed in 22 states this year, and at least 65 additional illnesses in those states are being investigated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Similar waves of the same illness occurred in 2014 and 2016.

CDC officials say they haven’t found the cause. Some possible suspects, such as polio and West Nile virus, have been ruled out. Another kind of virus is suspected, but it’s been found in only some of the cases.

“This is a mystery so far,” the CDC’s Dr. Nancy Messonnier said in a call on Oct. 16 with reporters.

About 90 percent of the cases are children who have suffered muscle weakness or paralysis, including in the face, neck, back or limbs. The symptoms tend to occur about a week after they had a fever and respiratory

illness.

It is “a pretty dramatic disease,” but fortunately most kids recover, Messonnier said.

Health officials call the condition acute flaccid myelitis. The CDC would not release a list of the states reporting probable or confirmed cases. But some states have previously announced clusters, including Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, New York and Washington.

The cases in 2014 and 2016 were partly attributed to particular strains of respiratory germs called enteroviruses, which spread the most in the summer and fall.

Most people infected with enteroviruses suffer only minor symptoms like cough and runny nose. And though enteroviruses have been detected in some paralysis cases, it hasn’t been found in others, CDC officials say.

Lacking an established cause, health officials confirm cases through a review of brain scans and symptoms.

About 120 confirmed cases were reported in 2014. Another 149 were reported in 2016. In 2015 and 2017, the counts of reported illnesses were far lower.

The cases this year seem to be spread across much of the country, as were the earlier two waves. But mysteriously no other country has reported the emerging every-two-years pattern seen in the U.S., Messonnier said.

A couple vacationing in Castle Rock this month said their trip took a turn for the worse when someone allegedly stole the wife’s purse, which contained her Social Security card, approximately $2,000 in cash and her wedding bands.

Les Slayton, 66, and his wife, Carol, 60, of Rapid City, South Dakota, said they were shopping at the Outlets at Castle Rock on Oct. 14 when they stopped to use the restroom. The couple continued shopping for 10 to 15 minutes after leaving before Carol realized she left her purse in the bathroom, they said. When she went back to look for it, Carol says the purse was gone.

Inside the Coach bag, she was carrying house keys, garage door keys, credit cards, between $1,900 and $2,200

in cash and diamond earrings.

Most significantly, the couple said, she was carrying the wedding band set Les gave her more than 40 years ago. The couple will mark their 42nd anniversary in December.

“All of that was just material except my wedding ring,” Carol said.

Chelsea Hartnett, a spokeswoman for the Outlets at Castle Rock, confirmed a lost-and-found report was filed Oct. 14 with the shopping center, but neither customer service nor security had been informed of the missing jewelry, only of the purse.

When items are reported missing, she said, the mall provides customers information about filing reports with the Castle Rock Police Department if that is requested, but it was not for this incident. The couple did, however, file a report with police on Oct. 14.

“We do work really closely with the Castle Rock Police Department,” Hartnett said, adding police had not contacted the shopping center about the incident. “Obviously, we’ll support an investigation in any way, shape or form.”

What a deal, what a steal, gotta get an automobile QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

rarely buy, lease, rent or steal anything because of a television commercial.

There are products I avoid, however, because the commercials that go along with them irritate the Cap’n Crunch out of me.

What I have noticed lately is that half of the commercials on television are trying to sell me an automobile.

During some programs — sports — it’s more than half.

New cars all look alike, so mar-

keting has its hands full. And the vehicles now come with features I missed out on when I was a kid.

You can tell your car what song to play and it will play it.

Necessary? Probably not.

But it must turn someone on somewhere.

I don’t know how I got out of childhood alive. We didn’t have seat belts.

I think what we had was better drivers.

Cars now have back-up cameras, and warning lights if a

motorist is in your blind spot.

Drivers might not be as good as they once were because of our overconfidence in the new technologies. We think they will compensate for our indiscretions. Oh — and back then, we didn’t have phones in our cars either.

All of the commercials claim the same things: safety, reliability, attributes up the Yangtze, and, bless them, limited time only, once in a lifetime, sales.

“Thousands below MSRP.” How is that possible? It sounds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote no on tax hikes Brian Ewert, Littleton Public Schools superintendent, discussed 4A, which is a $300 million bond issue, which if approved would be more than triple the size of any previous LPS bond. Ewert is also supporting Amendment 73, which would add $23.1 million for LPS. Amendment 73 is a devious tax increase to soak the rich and corporations. It is confiscating the wealth of other people. It is income distribution that never works because corporations will pass the tax on to all the people. It will discourage new business.

Ewert is pointing a double-barreled tax liability and wants you to pull the trigger.

Don’t do it on 4A or 73!

Dianne Moyers Centennial LPS asks for too much In a recent article, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert says, “Voters of decades past left a legacy for us.

This is our chance to leave a legacy for future generations.” I would like to rephrase his statement saying, this is their chance to leave a residue of increased property taxes and debt for future generations. He preys on fear that “Many of our buildings…have structural problems and issues with access for people with disabilities…”. I would say these are fixable without creating $300 million more of increased debt.

Each election cycle finds Littleton Public Schools asking for more money via debt and higher taxes. They are incapable of living within their means as most of us are want to do.

Further, they want to use part of this money to build a junior stadium at Newton Middle School, which will increase the traffic, congestion, and light pollution at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and

Arapahoe Road. Do we need this?

George Sullivan Centennial Say yes to 73 With grown children, why should our family care about our schools? We want all kids to have the same opportunities our boys had, and more.

Even though Colorado has one of the fastest-growing economies in the country, Colorado’s per-pupil funding is roughly $2,800 below the national average, trailing even Mississippi and Alabama.

Additionally, Amendment 73 allows districts to finally give teachers raises at a time when teacher pay in Colorado is among the worst in the country. In fact, the average teacher salary in rural Colorado leaves many on welfare or working two or three jobs to support their families.

This investment is a tax increase that only affects 8 percent of filers making over $150,000 per year. We are in the 8 percent and are happy to do our part because we want smart, well-rounded employees, neighbors, and community members.

But the greatest benefit goes to our children, regardless of their ZIP code.

Money can be spent equitably to provide full-day kindergarten in all schools, bring back greatly needed school counselors and mental health resources across the state, and more.

Our family cares deeply about our neighborhood schools, but this goes beyond our boundaries to the entire state of Colorado.

Still, I care about Colorado’s students and want what is best for them — now and into the future. That is why I plan to vote yes on Amendment 73 this November.

Amendment 73 will bring in $1.6 billion for public schools, pre- kindergarten through 12th grade, adding desperately needed revenue to local school districts across the state.

Despite having one of the strongest economies in the U.S, Colorado has the one of least competitive teacher wages.

As a result, districts cannot recruit and keep the quality teachers that students need. Amendment 73 can help address this crisis, while also increasing revenue for improved facilities, and curriculum.

Importantly, Amendment 73 would also invest an additional $10 million annually into preschool and support full-day kindergarten statewide. This would help transform early learning for Colorado’s youngest students and set them on a path toward lifelong success.

This alone is a wise investment.

Research shows that children who receive high-quality early learning are 20 percent more likely to graduate from high school and earn 50 percent higher income than their peers who did not receive quality early learning and care.

A yes vote on Amendment 73 can bring early education to more of Colorado’s littlest learners and support their academic growth right on through to 12th grade. Vote yes on Amendment 73. Vote yes for kids.

attorney general. George Brauchler has extensive courtroom and administrative experience, as well as a thorough understanding of Colorado’s judicial system and the many public safety issues facing our communities.

As former Chief of Military Justice at Fort Carson and current District Attorney for the 18th Judicial District (which represents approximately 1 million Coloradans), George has tried hundreds of cases, including the tragic Aurora theater mass shooting.

He has and will continue to vigorously defend our laws and constitution.

On the other hand, his opponent is an educator who is woefully lacking in courtroom experience.

He has also publicly stated his intention to be a legal activist for whatever causes he personally endorses. That is the role of our legislators, not the Colorado attorney general, who should be enforcing our laws instead of promoting his own personal agenda.

George is a native Coloradan, a colonel in the Colorado National Guard and a devoted family man. He has and will continue to work tirelessly to keep our communities safe, protect Colorado from overreaching federal regulations, and guard our precious natural resources.

George will bring leadership, innovation, transparency, and the endorsement of many respected law enforcement officials to the attorney general’s office.

ten about before. Now we see stress fractures appearing in the stock and bond and real estate markets. Values are no longer climbing precipitously, and stock prices are leveling off. Rising interest rates will create its own set of issues, including soaking up excess money supply which is exactly what the Federal Reserve hopes to do. A natural side effect is that it costs more to buy a house which will automatically start to affect housing prices.

The price of cars will go up with tariffs, and if you need to finance your vehicle, you will notice zero interest rates have disappeared. Hence you are spending more, but don’t forget, your wages didn’t actually go up beyond the normal inflation rate.

This is what it feels like when money starts to get tight.

Meanwhile, consumer sentiment is setting record highs, which means we

are spending like there is no tomorrow. However, this cycle will end, and we may wish we had planned a little better for the next decade.

I would encourage consumers to prepare for higher prices and tougher credit. Investors should strategize for short-term disappointment in both stock and bond prices.

Stock prices need continued rising earnings to fuel their current lofty place. Third-quarter earnings season will start next week, and the increase is expected to continue but the rate of change will likely start to slow.

Subsequent quarters will continue the slowing until stock prices settle at a more reasonable rate.

Bond prices typically decline with rising interest rates. We are starting to see this in most bonds, less so in short-term and high-yield.

Valois said paying attention to the quirks of each animal is very important to their care. Specifically how the gorillas don’t like to get their hair wet. Or how the bachelor pair of young gorillas, Curtis and Charlie, are complete opposite personalities.

Curtis, the older bother, is pretty mellow and likes quieter interaction, she explained, while Charlie is a bit of a wild guy.

“It’s neat to see these two gorillas who are full brothers and grown up together to have totally different personalities,” Valois said. “When I come around the corner, Charlie is often waiting for me to play.

he history of cinema is the history of technology: For every great breakthrough in the world of tech, cinema has found a way to incorporate it into storytelling.

Recently, this relationship has gone beyond visual effects and sound design — audiences can now view the latest films at home instead of the theater and use virtual reality to actively participate in the stories.

But the 41st Denver Film Festival, held from Wednesday, Oct. 31, through Sunday, Nov. 11, is tapping these advancements to give attendees the deepest cinematic experience.

“At the Festival Annex, which is the festival’s hub, we have features like VR and inCOMING teractive experiATTRACTIONS ences,” said Britta Erickson, festival director. “We also have Hamlet Mobile, an immersive, traveling adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet staged for small audiences.”

The Denver Clarke Reader Film Festival has become one of the metro area’s biggest cultural events of the year. And scanning this year’s more than 200 screenings, it’s easy to see why. From three-to-five-minute short films to Red Carpet screenings of movies that everyone may be talking about come Oscar season, there is a great deal to explore.

Films will be shown all over Denver, including the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, 1385 Curtis St., and Sie Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. The Festival Annex will be housed at the McNichols Building, 144 W. Colfax Ave. “There are great ticket packages that allow audiences to pick several films that they’re interested in seeing, or they can buy individual tickets,” Erickson said. “We pride ourselves on providing a smooth customer service and viewing experience during the festival.”

One of the most eagerly anticipated movies is a piece of Colorado’s history — director Jason Reitman’s (“Up in the Air” and “Juno”) “The Frontrunner.” The film is about Colorado’s own Gary Hart (played by Hugh Jackman) and the affair that ended his political career.

ichelle Valois says a typical day at the Denver Zoo is a lot of fun and a lot of work.

Valois, a primate zookeeper, has been at the Denver Zoo for 17 years. Her job is to take care of the orangutans and gorillas in their separate exhibits in the Primate Panorama habitat.

The Denver Zoo is home to six critically endangered Sumatran orangutans and five western lowland gorillas. But the zoo is home to many more primates including golden lion tamarins, aye-ayes, ring-tailed lemurs and mandrills.

“In our primate department we have a really big collection,” Valois said. “I think it’s something we are really proud of and excited to have that many different kinds of primates to work with.”

Valois fell in love with primates while working as an intern at the Denver Zoo and helping with the revamp of the primates department and the construction of the ape building.

“For me it was always kids or animals, which I feel like have a lot of similarities,” Valois said. “When I got introduced to primates, I knew I had

Two worlds collide in endearing production ‘Educating Rita’ is delight on metro-area stage

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Surrounded by a large, polished wooden desk, cases filled with books, comfortable chairs and a window looking out on a campus lawn, all enhanced by subdued lighting, Frank (John Hutton), a professor and poet — who hasn’t written for some time — tries to remember which title conceals the Scotch … “Ah! There it is.” The entire stage in the Arvada Center’s Black Box Theatre is transformed into a rather classy academic’s office, with warm tones, polished dark wood — and a bit of clutter. It says “class.’

The doorknob rattles and someone knocks impatiently.

Enter Liverpudlian hairdresser Rita (Emily Van Fleet), a 26-year-old working-class woman who almost seems blown in by the wind. “I want to know everything ... I want to be able to understand …” she tells the startled academic with excitement. And she has enrolled in the Open University to be educated. “Susan is me real name, but I changed it to Rita,” she continues.

Her husband is not in favor of this move, she tells Frank, but she knows he loves her.

From the beginning, she hopes/is certain Frank will help her pass her first exam …

There’s some critical discussion of

“Howard’s End” by E.M. Forster and a first assignment.

“I wish I could talk “Educating Rita” like that,” says a plays through dazzled Rita.

Rita replaces a neglected, dead plant in the office.

As the year progresses, Rita’s appearance, as well as her intellectual strength, improves as does her confidence. She visits theater and dance performances, attends summer school in London and a real conversation about Shakespeare’s comedy and tragedy ensues. Her marriage ends and Frank’s live-in partner, Julia, leaves him.

Papers continue to appear through the letter slot as Rita soaks up what he offers her like a sponge through the school year, putting her own spin on the topic at hand and getting interested in and acquainted with other students. He is concerned that her originality will disappear with ongo-

ing study … “I don’t want to see you end up in a room like this,” he tells Rita.

In a later scene, we find Frank packing down his office — he’s invited to spend a sabbatical teaching in Australia. The door flies open and it’s Rita. “I came to tell you you’re a good teacher,” she tells him — “do you think you did nothing for me?”

“I tried to call you at the shop,” he says and she explains that she left the hair salon long ago … “Don’t you like me any more now that I’m educated?

I’ve got what you have …”

The audience can speculate on whether there’s another act — Russell doesn’t give us one in this script.

These actors are both really so skilled and keep up the pace through a story that can trace back to the classical “Pygmalion” and up through the more contemporary “My Fair Lady”

and “Pretty Woman” — and most recently, “A Star is Born.” Originally commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Educating Rita” premiered in London in 1980 and was adapted by Russell for film in 1983.

Russell also wrote “Shirley Valentine” and “Blood Brothers,” which is still playing in London’s West End. We are so happy to see the Black Box Theatre Series start a second year at the Arvada Center under director Lynne Collins. Coming up in early 2019, performances by the repertory company: “Diary of Anne Frank,” “The Moors,” “Sin Street Social Club.” We welcome Hutton’s return to the area, since we so enjoyed his performances at Denver Center Theatre Company. And Van Fleet, who has appeared at Arvada Center and elsewhere, was just a delight to watch — and listen to!

Spice of Life’ brings zest to gallery “Paloverde in Bloom” by Paul Nutting is Best in Show in the new “Spice of Life” exhibit at the Depot Art Gallery.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Members of the Littleton Fine Arts - Guild were challenged to “consider an attitude or the element of surprise when they taste a new dish, or hear a new song, or read an inspiring story, or try a new color in a painting …” resulting in the new “Spice of Life” exhibit, which opened Oct. 12 with a reception and runs through Nov. 11 at the Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave. Genial juror Dean Buhler circulated through the reception crowd and talked with exhibiting artists about their artwork.

When you visit, be sure to look for his “Catitude,” to the right of the front door. In addition to fine painting technique, there is a sense of humor evident. Buhler’s website quotes him as saying he works on one painting at a time, “mood driven.” He speaks of the dignity he finds in living things, “deeply rooted in a desire to fulfill their nature …” He has attended numerous other artists’ classes and workshops, has a background in telecommunications prior to his painting career as well as a law JD degree and a brief period in a legal practice. He is represented by the Blue River Fine

Art Gallery in Breckenridge.

Buhler chose Paul Nutting’s nostalgic painting, “Paloverde in Bloom,” with its bright yellow flowering tree, surrounding saguaro cactuses and other desert landscape with distant mountains, as winner of the Best of Show award. It offers a brief Arizona visit, beautifully rendered — one can almost smell that desert.

At the opening reception, awards were announced by the juror and guests were asked to vote for their favorites.

Stacy Roberts’ striking “Morning Light” was selected “People’s Choice.”

The technique and color in this tall, vertical, abstracted landscape re-

minded me a bit of Georgia O’Keeffe’s relationship to the New Mexico desert where she lived and painted. I can well understand how it drew viewers’ attention and votes.

First place was awarded to David George for “Color and Smells of Flowers,” a cheerful bright garden patch, while second place went to Carol Broere’s “Colorful Forest,” a still life.

Third place was awarded to Larry Goodwin’s photograph, “Sitting on Top of the World,” depicting a happy, small, perky black dog, centered in a sort of vacant landscape — with a big sky.

Four honorable mentions went to Bill Knolls, “Straw with Color” — a

Time to consider some holiday shopping — or that bare patch of wall that needs a touch of color. The Depot Art Gallery is a year-round source for original items you won’t find anywhere else, with exhibits that change monthly.

The gallery is housed in Littleton’s original 1891 Santa Fe Depot, which was a daily scene of excitement when the mail came in, and its adjacent caboose, which houses photographs of trains, of course. Next exhibit: “Holiday Express,” with gifts of all sorts.

Nationally recognized Muslim, Christian leaders come to area Men share story of interfaith friendship

tive connotation and cast a poor light on their project.

But prayer helped calm his fear, Stone said, and in his studies he landed on the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. The core message: Love thy neighbor.

“These people are literally our neighbors,” Stone said.

So Stone displayed a banner in front of Heartstrong welcoming the Memphis Islamic Center to the neighborhood.

“That still gives me chills,” Shala said.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the back of a banquet hall in New Hope Presbyterian Church beneath an illuminated stained-glass window, Dr. Bashar A. Shala brought his hands together in prayer, looked to the ceiling, spoke quietly and then knelt, bringing his head fully to the floor.

Shala recited in Arabic a verse from the Quran and then translated to a room of bowed heads. Pastor Steven Stone followed him with a Christian prayer, asking God to bless those gathered.

Shala, president of the Memphis Islamic Center in Tennesseee, and Stone, senior pastor of the Christian Heartstrong Church, also of Memphis, led the Castle Rock churchgoers in prayer during a lunchtime gathering following New Hope’s usual Oct. 14 service, then took questions from congregation members.

Both men have been awarded the Freedom of Worship Award from the Roosevelt Institute, the nonprofit partner of America’s first presidential library, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum, and have been featured in national media outlets. Their mission, they said, is to encourage people throughout the U.S. to see past

Dr. Bashar Shala, co-founder of the Memphis Islamic Center in Memphis, Tennessee, and Dr. Steven Stone, senior pastor of Heartstrong Church, also in Memphis, speak to New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle Rock. Their message is about understanding the two faiths and building friendships across them.

It’s a lesson they’ve preached for years through their own story of friendship.

Becoming, and loving, thy neighbor Stone, Shala and their respective organizations built a national platform starting roughly nine years ago, as their relationship was first forming.

It began when Stone read a local media report about a group of Muslims who had purchased land to build an Islamic center across the street from his church, which he founded and has pastored for nearly 20 years.

Stone’s first reaction was rooted in fear and ignorance, he said. He didn’t know a single Muslim. He didn’t know if he should be concerned about another religious group so close by. So, he prayed.

Shala was among a committee and board searching for land to build a home for the Muslim community in Memphis — a place where they could worship and socialize.

“It was a post-9/11 world,” Shala said. “There were some struggles.”

The purchase of the land near Heartstrong garnered attention. That included the article Stone read, which described the center as a compound, Shala said, a word that carries a nega-

A growing partnership Their relationship grew from there. The Islamic center’s construction wasn’t completed by that year’s month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset.

Heartstrong opened its doors so the center’s members would have a place to pray.

The first night, Shala remembered, about 30 people gathered at the church, greeted by a group of Christians at the door. The next night, 50 came. The third, more than 100, and after that “the place was just jampacked.”

“An amazing bond began to form,” Stone said.

The two groups maintain a close relationship to this day. They hold an annual Thanksgiving celebration together and an annual blood drive near the anniversary of 9/11.

They’ve since founded the Memphis Friendship Foundation with dreams of building a $12 million park as a “monument to friendship,” according to the foundation’s website.

New Hope member Tracey Silver attended the Sunday service and stayed late for the question-andanswer session.

“I thought it was a wonderful idea,” she said. “I knew this was the sort of church that would welcome the presentation.”

Stone and Shala said they hope their story, although not unique, grows a willingness to build interfaith friendships throughout the U.S. “I wish,” Shala said, “more people knew more Muslims — just to get to know a person.”

From left, Mary Stone and Joy Myers-Barklage, of New Hope Presbyterian Church, Malak Shala and her husband Dr. Bashar Shala, and Dr. Steven Stone talked about the importance of interfaith friendships.

Berani and Hesty climb on the new structure in the outdoor orangutan enclosure at the Denver Zoo.

FROM PAGE 14

“He likes to throw hay and beat on his chest and have his back scratched.”

While the gorillas are high-energy, social animals. Valois said the orangutans, who live on the other side of the building, are more solitary animals and prefer a low-key environment with the exception of Eirina, an 11-year-old female, who is incredibly playful.

“She loves to swing,” Valois said.

“She takes sheets and make hammocks for herself. She ties knots.

She has what we interpret as a great sense of humor.”

Both the gorillas and orangutans have indoor/outdoor enclosures and a living space out of the public eye. This, Valois said, is important because while the apes acclimate to the colder Colorado weather, they’re not really made to be in the snow. Still, the big yards where the apes play outdoors are a point of pride for Valois and her team.

A new climbing structure was recently built in the orangutans’ outdoor enclosure to replace trees

Arvada Center’s celebration of color For my money, the yellows, reds and oranges of autumn are nature’s best color show. And they make the Arvada Center’s fall exhibitions’ focus on color the perfect match for the season.

Running through Nov. 11 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Virginia Maitland Retrospective: 1965-Present, Connected by Color and Laura Merage: Nausy Nausy, showcase different explorations of color.

Housed in the Center’s Main Gallery, Boulder painter Virginia Maitland gets an expansive career retrospective. Through more than 45 works and archive materials, some dating back to 1965, visitors can see how she incorporates color, light and nature into her large-scale paintings.

The Upper Gallery’s Connected by Color exhibit explores color’s limitless possibilities through the work of four artists. Patricia Aaron works in encaustic. Jennifer Ivanovic pours acrylic paint straight into her composition. Sue Oehme is a master printmaker. And Jodi Stuart creates ethereal sculptures using 3D printing pens.

In the Theatre Gallery, Laura Merage’s soft sculpture creations include huggable pillows and plush seats that allow visitors to enjoy the whimsical creations in style.

So, the fact that they’re appearing on the same bill at the Summit Music Hall, 1902 Blake St. in Denver, should be cause for celebration. The show is at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Fallon and Finn have been releasing solo albums over the last couple years, using the opportunity to explore different ways of writing and playing.

But the results are just as rewarding.

Last year, Finn’s “We All Want the Same Thing,” featured some truly novelistic songs that could just wreck a person. And Fallon’s “Sleepwalkers,” released in February, is one of this year’s best albums.

Dress for Success A professional look is vital to job success Tabatha Stewart | Special to Colorado Community Media

S

tudies show, that on average, it takes a human being approximately eight seconds to form an opinion of someone they have just met, according to Amara Martin, executive director of Dress for Success

Denver.

Those seven seconds of judgment are vital for women who are seeking employment, and for women served by Dress for Success, who may have trouble finding a job based on criminal histories, shelter addresses, or lapses in employment history due to hardships in life, it’s even more important to look the part of the job you are seeking.

“In our society, it takes someone eight seconds to judge you,” said Martin. “It all starts with a look. Once they see you, then you can tell them all about your talents and how hard you work. But you have to get past the first eight seconds.”

Dress for Success Denver is an affiliate non-profit

of the national Dress for Success, and was founded in 2006. Since it’s inception in Denver, the organization has helped more than 13,000 women all over the Denver metro area prepare and get jobs.

“Clothes are important, but it’s not just about pretty clothes,” said Martin. “Not knowing what to wear, or worse, wearing inappropriate clothes to work, can cause a lot of stress and anxiety for a woman. We are really helping women thrive in work and in life. We partner with over 200 agencies in the Denver metro area who help women, including shelters and workforce centers.”

The mission of Dress for Success, according to Martin, is to “empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.”

The non-profit offers services in professional suiting, career center coaching, career navigator

mentorship, a women’s employment network, pathways to education and a professional women’s group to help women retain jobs once they get them.

Martin, a Denver native, said she was lucky enough early in her career to have a female boss reprimand her for inappropriate work attire, and give her some advice that has stuck with her.

“I had an internship at 17, at a law firm in downtown Denver,” said Martin. “I went to work dressed like a standard teenager. The manager of the law firm is an amazing woman, and she brought me into her office and explained to me that you dress the way you want to be treated. If you want to be treated with respect, then you dress with respect. I bought a pair of black pants and looked and acted the part.”

Martin and her crew, along with some of the women they have helped, will be presenting a fashion show at the Women’s Health and Beauty Expo Oct. 20.

Start your marriage with the best party of your lives!

BUILDING POTENTIAL

Central Colorado Area Health Education provides valuable education to students, services to community

W

Lin Browning and Sandra Kohl Special to Colorado Community Media

ithin 12 local counties, Central Colorado Area Health Education Center (CCAHEC) connects students to careers, professionals to communities, and communities to better health.

“The Belmar Women’s Health & Beauty Expo is a unique opportunity to support health in Jefferson County while engaging our students and team members in activities that further their understanding in the importance of public health and wellbeing,” said Lin Browning, the Executive Director at CCAHEC.”

Expo participants are encouraged to learn their numbers with free health screenings from CCAHEC medical staff, students, and volunteers on Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018 at the Belmar Shopping Center Plaza from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Check blood pressure, glucose, pulse, height, weight, and vision. Access to referral and health education resources will also be readily available.

As one of 261 Area Health Education Centers nationwide inspired by the Health Resource Services Administration (HRSA) goals, CCAHEC develops and enhances education and training networks within communities, academic institutions, and community-based organizations. In turn, these networks increase diversity among health professionals, broaden the distribution of the health workforce, enhance health care quality, and improves health care delivery to rural and underserved areas and populations.

CCAHEC has developed a strong focus on healthcare career recruitment and retention activities. Programs aim to increase the potential for secondary, college, and health profession students from underrepresented populations, educationally disadvantaged, and rural backgrounds to successfully pursue a health profession career with an emphasis in public health. Partners include a variety of organizations including high schools, county workforce departments, education consortiums, and healthcare institutions. Through programs such as Health Careers Pre-Apprenticeships (real world experiences for 16 to 24-year-old students), AHEC

Scholars (clinical and didactic training for current health professions students), and a variety of career and health fairs around the region, CCAHEC guides and encourages students through the healthcare pipeline to increase health profession diversity.

CCAHEC programs aim to increase the potential for health profession students to practice in a rural or urban underserved community by immersing them in community experiences through community-based education training programs, field placements, and interprofessional education and training. During their rotations, health professions students complete community service learning projects created to address identified community health needs.

Working with programs such as the Colorado Health Extension System (CHES), the Regional Health Connectors (RHC), and the AmeriCorps Community Opioid Response Program (CORP), CCAHEC facilitates and supports Colorado healthcare practice transformation efforts. Program planning and participation with community partners promotes a patient- and data-centered, team-based approach, addressing social determinants of health to improve quality and community health outcomes in rural and medically underserved areas.

Women’s healthcare Advancements can make health care confusing Tabatha Stewart Special to Colorado Community Media

T

wenty years ago women typically saw their doctor once a year, and received a breast exam and perhaps a recommendation for a mammogram, based on their age. Seldom were they asked about domestic violence in the home, or how their overall happiness was affecting their mood or quality of life.

Advancements in women’s health care, as well as taking a more wellrounded approach to a woman’s health, have changed the way women manage their health care concerns, and although beneficial, can be confusing today. It was once standard practice for women to have their first mammogram after the age of 40, while today’s recommendations are unclear based on each individual woman.

Dr. Lindsay Eun, a physician with Westside Women’s Health Clinic, said honest conversations with your doctor are imperative to maintaining your health.

“There are so many constant changes, it can become very confusing,” said Eun. “It’s important to see your doctor every year to discuss your needs.”

According to Eun, an annual exam should include a discussion with your doctor regarding your overall health, including screening for safety and domestic violence issues, birth control, and eating and exercise habits.

“We follow the American College of OBGyn guidelines, which recommend mammograms beginning at 40, and

colonoscopies beginning at 50,” said Eun. She also recommends women receive their first well-woman exam around the age of 16, to answer questions about your body, with a first pelvic exam being done around the age of 21, unless there are concerns.

For women of child-bearing age, Eun recommends speaking with your doctor about your plans for starting a family, and which birth control method might be best for you.

“There have been a lot of changes in the options for contraception,” said Eun. “There are some excellent long term options, which can last for several years, that have been improved over the years.”

For women past child-bearing years, Eun stresses its just as important to be honest with your doctor about your future plans, and decide the best treatment as you age, including mammograms, colonoscopies, and the possibility of permanent contraception.

While an annual doctor’s visit can screen for any problems, women need to take steps every day to keep themselves healthy, which, according to Eun, can sometimes be difficult.

“Women need to make taking care of themselves a priority,” said Eun. “It’s easy to get caught up in running a household and holding a job, but women need to be sure to get plenty of exercise and reduce stress when they can. It can be difficult, but finding a balance is the first step in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”

“It’s important to see your doctor every year to discuss your needs.”

Fighting breast cancer is hard enough.

GETTING TO THE BEST TREATMENT SHOULDN’T BE. A cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment plan can be very overwhelming. The breast program team at Swedish is recognized across the region for their expertise in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. We provide compassionate, comprehensive treatment, working closely with patients and their families. And we do it all in a place that’s close to home.

Swedish Medical Center strives for well-rounded health service programs for women From depth of service, to a whole team approach when it comes to caring for female patients, Swedish Medical Center works to set the standard in women’s healthcare in the Denver Metro Area.

Understanding that women’s needs are unique in all areas, Swedish makes it a priority to go beyond birthing and delivery for female patients. From the Rocky Mountain region’s leading stroke care, the latest cancer treatments and advanced heart care, Swedish offers some of the area’s most specialized services.

Christina Merritt, who joined Swedish as the administrative director of women’s services in May, said Swedish Medical Center has some of the best services in the region with doctors and medical professionals experience spanning decades. Some of the programs offered to women at Swedish include:

Pelvic Floor Disorder: The Comprehensive Pelvic Floor Center at Swedish is a multidisciplinary program that provides evaluation and treatment of patients with pelvic floor disorder. Providers work closely with each other to create individualized diagnosis and treatment plans that fit the needs of every patient.

Pregnancy and childbirth: Merritt said the important thing doctors and nurses in the labor and delivery area understand is that we live in changing times and every expectant mother has her own birthing plan. Swedish has a comprehensive team which includes; OB-GYNs, PNNPs, Nurse Midwives, seasoned nurses and a stellar Level III NICU, allowing them to provide great quality care and honor patients’ choices no matter their birth plan.

Breast Cancer Care: “Swedish has one of the area’s largest breast care programs,” said Merritt. As part of Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute and in partnership with Invision Sally Jobe and Oncology Rehab, Swedish’s comprehensive program includes nurse navigators to help guide patients from diagnosis and treatment through recovery and survivorship.

Included in the breast care center are specialized breast surgeons, Dr. Laura Hafertepen, Dr. Jane Kercher and Dr. Jodi Widner. These doctors have years of experience and expertise in the most current surgical techniques for the treatment of breast cancer. Surgeons at Swedish specialize in high-risk cases, prophylactic surgery and breast cancer surgery.

Gynecologic Oncology: Serving as the leading provider of gynecologic cancer services int the Rocky Mountains, Swedish Medical Center is committed to providing the highest quality of care and compassion to women with cancer of the reproductive system.

Going digital Serving parents after they leave the hospital is also a goal at Swedish Medical Center. Through a new app to be launched soon, Merritt explained that a new mom can have everything they need to know about recovery from childbirth, the baby’s health and a one-stop shop for the next 18 months to keep track of feedings, diaper changes and any issues that may arise between mom and baby.

“Currently, there are many separate apps available for each of these things,” Merritt said. “We are giving moms this information all in one place. Our care stays with them through the baby’s early development.”

Breast Cancer Reconstruction: With Dr. Lily Daniali leading the way, the reconstructive breast surgeons with Swedish Medical Center are experts and understand the full scope of breast reconstruction. Merritt said it’s in areas of plastic surgery that Swedish Medical Center is a true leader in meeting and understanding women’s needs.

Two primary areas of focus include: • Lymphedema: Often a side effect of cancer treatment, lymphedema happens when the lymph nodes are removed. At Swedish, some of the surgical treatment options include lymph node transfer, Lymphovenous Bypass or Lymphedema Liposuction.

• DEIP Flap: In DEIP flap reconstruction a surgeon uses fat, skin and blood vessels from the patient’s abdomen and then reattaches the blood vessels of the flap to blood vessels in the chest using microsurgery. This allows women to recover more quickly since no muscle tissue is removed

Día de los Muertos events coming up Gardens, bar, art venue among places holding celebrations of Mexican holiday

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

D

ía de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, isn’t anything like Halloween, despite skulls being involved with the holiday.

It’s a three-day celebration that originated in central and southern Mexico as a way to celebrate the passing of loved ones. Those who celebrate the holiday believe that the souls of deceased children come back from their resting at midnight on Oct. 31, and then reunite with their families on Nov. 1. The following day, deceased adults come visit their loved ones on Nov. 2.

Families who celebrate the holiday make one-of-a-kind altars that honor their loved ones who have passed. Those altars are decorated with pictures of the deceased whom the altar is dedicated to, that person’s favorite food, poems and more.

Other traditions include using sugar skulls to decorate gravestones of the deceased and spending time at the cemetery where families will eat, play music and sometimes spend the night to celebrate their loved ones.

“It’s the idea that death is a part of life. We think it’s a continuous cycle,” Ramon Del Castillo said. Castillo is a professor and chair of the Chicana/o Studies Department at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “It’s a calling upon the spirits to come and be with us and to celebrate with them in some spiritual way.”

The metro area has events dedicated to Día de los Muertos coming up that honor the holiday. Here are three: Día de los Muertos Celebration at 40 West Arts: Where: 1560 Teller St. When: Nov. 2 from 5 to 9 p.m.

All of the art district’s galleries, studios and businesses will also be available,

and there will be exhibits that are inspired by Día de los Muertos. The event is child- and family-friendly.

“There are great things happening here on West Colfax, and it’s not the same as it was 10 years ago. Come and visit us, West Colfax is back,” said Bill Marino, 40 West board chair and business improvement district director.

Día de los Muertos celebration at Cerveceria Colorado: Where: 1635 Platte St. When: Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Nov. 2 from 11 a.m. to midnight Cost: Sugar skulls can be purchased for $10, and the skulls include a free beer.

Contact: 720-279-8248 Cerveceria Colorado, a craft-beer bar that serves Mexican-style beers, is aiming to educate the community about what Día de los Muertos is all about. The bar will offer sugar skull painting, and the skulls that its guests paint will be added to a collage or altar to celebrate life and the community. It will also be tapping its Marigold Venga to pair with food trucks. On Nov. 2, the bar will have live, festive music.

“Our bartenders are going to be educating about what the Day of the Dead is. We have awesome, Mexican inspired beers. We’re very excited, and we want everybody to be here,” said Maria Valenzuela, a marketing associate at Cerveceria Colorado.

Día de los Muertos Celebration at Denver Botanic Gardens: Where: 1007 York St. When: Nov. 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cost: Free gardens and event admission Contact: 720-865-3500 Denver Botanic Gardens’ Día de los Muertos Celebration happens to fall on one of its free days. The gardens is encouraging its guests to dress in Día de los Muertos costumes as it prepares for its eighth year of celebrating the holiday. There will be face painting, children’s crafts, sugar skull decorating, local art, cultural entertainment, a costume contest, food and more.

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Nothing middling about middle blocker

H

Arapahoe senior Julia Pauls is volleyball standout

T

here was royalty playing on the Arapahoe girls volleyball team this season.

Julia Pauls, a 5-foot-9 senior middle blocker, used some of her time off the court to be a princess as part of the school’s homecoming royalty.

“That made me feel good,” said Pauls. “I wasn’t expecting it at all. It was an honor to be nominated and to win.”

After being nominated by her classmates to be part of the royalty for homecoming, she has been busy acting like a princess on the volleyball court by playing with responsibility, courage and intelligence.

“I started playing in third grade because it was an open sport at the YMCA, and when I started playing I loved it and just kept going,” said Pauls who plays tennis “for fun” on the Arapahoe team in the spring. “I played at my middle school and at Arapahoe.

“I love the team aspect of the sport. Being with this group of girls is like my family during the season.

I love the sense of community. It is a tough sport because there are a lot of aspects that maybe people don’t see. Like for blocking, if you are just watching you don’t see how difficult it is to get that block.

Volleyball is a lot more difficult than it seems and that’s what I like about it. It is challenging.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘She played last year and this will be her second letter.’

Jordan Wright Arapahoe volleyball coach

Pressure is on for runners aiming for title

JIM BENTON

Q&A with Pauls What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

My parents. They just taught me that for anything I wanted to do, just to work at it with my whole heart. So for volleyball, I just put all my energy into it.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

I don’t think there ever is a perfect performance.

I feel like you always could have done something more. I just do my best and I don’t think you ever have a perfect performance.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Probably my electives, my fun classes.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I love to have time with my friends and family. I just love being with people. I’m a people person.

What are your plans after high school?

I am going to go to some college in California, like Loyola or Point Loma which I am looking at, just a small Christian school.

Volleyball is a game of momentum. How does a team maintain momentum?

It is very important to keep it but also to control it. Sometimes when you are on a big roll it can kind of get

frantic and there is a lot of energy but it is important to stay calm.

If you a playing a team that has momentum, it is important to do everything you can to get a point back and break the other team’s momentum.

How important is a serve in volleyball?

The serve is the only thing you can personally control because if you are hitting that kind of depends on the pass, the set and everything else. If you are serving, it is all you.

It’s important because we automatically lose a point if you can’t serve.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Key stats | In 17 matches Pauls has 58 kills, 17 total blocks and 12 digs.

igh school sports can be beneficial in demonstrating values that athletes can use later in life, like discipline, dedication, teamwork and the ability to handle adversity.

However, one of the pitfalls is the pressure to perform that is put on young athletes from a variety of sources, including themselves, coaches, parents and the lure of potential scholarship opportunities.

Basketball players often face stressful situations in a close games by going to the foul line in the OVERTIME waning seconds.

In baseball and softball, hitters can feel pressure with two outs and the tying and winning runners on base in the bottom of the seventh.

But what about Jim Benton cross country?

Mountain Vista junior cross country runner Jenna Fitzsimmons is the defending Class 5A state champion and both the Golden Eagles girls and boys won last season’s team championships.

So there has been pressure and expectations on Fitzsimmons all season — and there will be more during the state championship meet on Oct. 27 at the Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs.

“There definitely can be pressure on a (cross country runner),” Fitzsimmons said. “With all my teammates, we’ve had some races where we all get super nervous.

Our goal is to loosen each other up and try to take the pressure off each other before a race.

“There can be pressure, but I just try to go and have some fun with more focus on what we are doing as a team and then the individual goals will come along if we are focusing on that team goal.”

Fitzsimmons, who was fifth at the state meet as a freshman, had the fastest time recorded in the five 5A regional meets with a 17:52.00 in winning the Region 2 event at Aurora Sports Park on Oct. 18. Mountain Vista’s girls head into the state meet as one of the favorites after capturing the regional meet, with the five girls that scored finishing among the top eight runners. The Golden Eagles actually had seven runners in the top 10 in a dominating performance.

The top four teams in 5A and all athletes who finish in the top 15 at the regionals qualify for the state meet.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 13

As district attorney for one of Colorado’s largest judicial districts, George Brauchler has faced evil criminals and successfully prosecuted them.

His opponent has faced students at a university and graded their exams.

How much tough legal experience does that bring?

George Brauchler isn’t just tough in upholding the law, he genuinely cares about our state. He was born and raised in Colorado. He graduated from the University of Colorado and gained his experience as an attorney in Colorado. He knows this state well and will humbly serve all its people.

As Colorado’s attorney general, George Brauchler will protect Colorado’s natural resources from overreach of the federal government.

George Brauchler loves the people of Colorado, knows the laws of Colorado and brings decades of successful legal experience to the job. Vote for George Brauchler as Colorado’s Attorney General. Experience matters!

Sherrie Escue Highlands Ranch Brauchler the right choice In business, experience matters.

Most jobs have a minimum experience requirement as business owners are looking for qualified candidates who can hit the ground running day one. Candidates for office are submitting their resume to the voters for consideration.

Colorado residents have an important choice for attorney general this November. George Brauchler is the only candidate for AG with decades of experience practicing Colorado law. George has tried hundreds of cases, many of them high-profile.

Mr. Brauchler has served as district attorney for the 18th Judicial District with honor and distinction. Colorado needs an AG that will defend our laws against onerous regulations, while defending our water rights, natural resources and our Constitution.

George Brauchler’s background as chief of Military Justice and service to our nation exemplify the kind of experienced candidate Colorado deserves. Please join me in voting for George Brauchler for attorney general.

Jeff Wasden Highlands Ranch Support setbacks for oil, gas drilling Why support 112? It puts our families’ and kids’ health first, ahead of industry lies. Per independent

kummer FROM PAGE 13

However, with the expected increases recently announced by the Federal Reserve, this is bound to play out over time. This should help curb inflation based on the improved GDP (gross domestic product), however

university research, toxic risks from fracking include neurological, respiratory, hematological, and developmental health issues, a higher risk of cancer, babies born with neural tube defects and congenital heart defects, along with childhood leukemia; plus fires, explosions and blast evacuation zones.

Considering that this toxic, heavy industrial operation is rubberstamped by the state, with no known examples of a permit application ever receiving a final denial, there must at least be appropriate buffer zones between those operations and our homes, schools, neighborhoods and families.

On jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (not the industry front groups in TV ads), the entire logging and mining sector in Colorado — which includes oil and gas extraction — employs about 30,000 people, 1% of our entire state labor force, and a far cry from the 200k-plus numbers used in some industry ads.

Modern fracking can drill out a mile and a half laterally underground. With 112, they will still be able to access many cubic miles of underground territory from each multi-well pad. A just-released Colorado School of Mines analysis found that, even if only using one-mile laterals, “42% of (Colorado’s) non-federal subsurface would (still) be accessible, or nearly three times the available surface area.”

We shouldn’t have to accept fracking right next to our homes, schools, playgrounds, and neighborhoods.

Please consider all the real facts carefully. I’m confident that, like me, you’ll support and vote for Proposition 112.

Harv Teitelbaum Sierra Club Colorado, Oil and Gas Campaign

Colorado Rising, advisory board 112 would be a real setback I am a proud employee of the energy industry in Colorado. There is a proposition on the November ballot that would have well documented adverse consequences to Colorado’s economy in the form of lost jobs and decreased state and local tax revenue.

Proposition 112 is being presented as a way to protect the health and safety of homeowners and communities, but the measure does more than increase existing setbacks five-fold from buildings. It also creates new 2,500-foot setbacks around features that have nothing to do with health and safety, such as “public open space, irrigation canals, reservoirs, lakes, rivers, perennial or intermittent streams, and creeks, and any additional vulnerable areas designated

time will tell.

Don’t wait to review your goals, investments and time frame. Make sure short-term needs are not at risk and most importantly, don’t compromise your long-term goals for a near-term discomfort.

We don’t know what the next decade will hold, but it most likely won’t be like the last two. We likely won’t have three recessions, nor

by the state or a local government”.

If enacted, Proposition 112 would ban new energy development on 94 percent of state and private property in Colorado’s top-five producing counties.

Regulations governing Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry are already among the most protective in the nation and they are constantly evolving. In 2013, Colorado increased its setback requirements from buildings and now they are the most stringent in the country. In the past year, Colorado enacted two significant new regulations covering air emissions and pipelines. The state is presently addressing citizen’s concerns about the proximity of oil and gas operations to schools and orphan wells.

Working in Colorado’s oil and gas industry has improved the quality of life for my family in many ways.

Proposition 112 could change that, not only for me but also for 147,000 of my fellow employees and their families.

Sean Kelly Centennial 112 is bad for us all By now you’ve heard about Proposition 112 on the next election ballot.

This initiative is worded as a setback, but it is effectively a ban of continued levels of oil and gas production in Colorado.

I write this letter as a proud member of the Colorado oil and gas industry. There are many of us living throughout the Douglas County area. We spend our incomes at the businesses or government entities of our friends and neighbors. Our companies also pay millions in direct production and property taxes to the state and local governments.

We are proud to produce these products that benefit everyone in Colorado. Our economy depends on oil and gas for every consumer and business. Colorado oil and gas producers already comply with the toughest state regulations in the USA and emphasize safety and environment as highest priorities.

This proposition is also opposed by long list of politicians from both major parties, including current Gov. John Hickenlooper and both governor candidates Walker Stapleton and Jared Polis.

There will be no change in Colorado oil and gas demand if Proposition 112 is passed. There will be no change in CO2 emissions.

As your Douglas County neighbor, I urge you to vote no on Proposition 112 and continue to allow us all to enjoy the benefits of Colorado produced oil and gas.

HEALTH FROM PAGE 10

“There needs to be a group to oversee the needs of the patient and family.”

PCMH has established 30 goals in areas of funding, array of services, quality, care coordination, screening and governance. The next step is to review the goals with key stakeholders and form an implementation strategy with the help of advocates and organizations from across the state. Those interested in learning more about PCMH’s efforts should contact PCMH@childrenscolorado. org.

Children’s Hospital expects the new governor elected in November to back the mission of PCMH, said Heidi Baskfield, vice president of Population Health and Advocacy at Children’s Hospital. Funding for youth mental health is also expected to be a topic of discussion in the 2019 legislative session.

“It’s going to take that level of focus and that level of leadership,” Baskfield said.

THEFT FROM PAGE 11

Carol said she doesn’t ordinarily keep the wedding band set or her Social Security card in her purse.

Les gifted her a new wedding ring in recent years, and she was carrying the original set — comprising an engagement ring, wedding band and anniversary ring — in her purse with plans to have it sized.

They were working to replace Carol’s I.D. and Social Security card as of Oct. 17. The couple decided to have their credit cards turned off and their locks changed at home.

The Slaytons twice checked with customer service at the shopping center, but the purse has not been turned in.

The police report shows the Slaytons reported the purse, credit cards, cash, rings and jewelry as being stolen, estimating the market value at $3,000.

Although the Slaytons had planned to stay in Castle Rock longer, the couple said they returned home a few days early following the incident.

Carol at first hoped whoever took her purse would mail the rings to the address on the I.D., but she is no longer optimistic the items will be returned.

“It’s gone forever,” Carol said. “I told (Les) that hurts me more.”

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

There is no shortage of them, is there? Every airport has lot after lot of shiny rentals.

On our last expedition, Jennifer and I were told, “Pick a car, any car.”

All of the trunks were open, and a key was in every ignition.

We actually shopped for about fifteen minutes before we decided.

There was an exciting baseball game on television recently. It was played in Chicago on a Tuesday night.

There was one automobile commercial after another between half innings and whenever there was a pitching change. I thought about it the next day, and realized not a single commercial stood out. (Maybe the Packard.)

There is one (unnamed) manufacturer who continually shoots itself in the foot with commercials that boast the brand no longer conforms to past

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

What I am advocating is that for those of us who work hard, maybe having multiple responsibilities within our existing job or holding down two or three jobs and volunteering, we need to take the pressure off of ourselves.

Here is what I have found. For many of us who try and work at this pace, and spread ourselves too thin, we begin to second guess our work and our accomplishments. We start to put even more unnecessary pressure on ourselves to make sure what we do is accurate, excellent, and maybe even strive for perfection. I have also found that many of us are performing far above anyone else’s expectations, so we become our own worst enemy with our self-imposed expectations. We have to take the pressure off.

Finding balance is the key. I know, maybe easy to say and hard to do, I get it. If this is a problem area for

perceptions. If that’s true, marketing shouldn’t bring it up.

I realize I am not the demographic that these commercials are targeting.

I don’t need a new car every two years, and I don’t want to start talking to my dashboard.

New cars are fun, and there are no French fries under the seats. Or dog hairs. Jennifer has one of these new cars. It’s the consequence of our June hailstorm.

She won’t allow Harry to ride in it.

My car, the one she has been riding in these many years, has, if one looked closely, a number of blond hairs on the front, passenger side floor, and I treasure them, because they symbolize our love and devotion.

But the sentiment is not reciprocated when it comes to similar symbols in her car.

Therefore, no hair of the dog.

Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

you, please send me an email and we can talk about it. Setting boundaries around time, family, activities in life that bring joy and happiness, taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually, these are all things that we must maintain. If we don’t there is no way to keep up with the rush and crush of our current schedules. Sooner or later we will lose the battle if all we are doing is trying to keep up the pace of someone else’s race. We need to give ourselves permission to take the pressure off.

So how about you? Is it time to take the pressure off for yourself a little?

Maybe a lot? Or have you figured out your “Work smarter, and take the pressure off ” strategy? Either way I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we set our own boundaries, run our own race, and take the pressure off, it really will be a better than good week.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A meeting of the minds on a workplace project might well develop into something more personal for Librans looking for romance. Aspects also are favorable for platonic relationships.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A more-positive mood might be difficult to assume in light of a recent problem involving the health of someone special. But by week’s end, your emotional barometer should start to rise.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Look for a changed attitude from a former adversary once he or she realizes you have your colleagues’ full support. Now you can refocus your energies on that workplace project.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This time, a difference of opinion might not be resolved in your favor. But be patient. It could all ultimately work out to your advantage, as new information begins to develop.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A tug of war develops between the artistic Aquarian’s creative aspect and his or her practical side. Best advice: Prioritize your schedule so you can give appropriate time to both.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You could be entering a career phase awash with job-related demands. But avoid being swamped by the overflow and, instead, keep treading water as you deal with demands one by one.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are an exceptionally loyal person, and you’re respected for your ability to keep the secrets entrusted to you.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You enjoy the attention early in the week, but it might be a good idea to opt for some privacy by week’s end so that you can have more time to consider an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You unearth some surprising facts.

Now you need to consider how to use them to your advantage. Meanwhile, it might be best to keep what you’ve learned secret for now.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A comment by a colleague piques your curiosity to know more. Best advice: You’ll find people more likely to offer information if you’re discreet when making your inquiries.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels begin to rise by midweek. This allows you to catch up with your heavy workload and still have plenty of get-up-and-go to go out on the town this weekend.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re probably roaring your head off about a perceived slight from a longtime critic. Ignore it. That person might just be trying to goad you into doing something you might later regret.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The early part of the week is open to spontaneity. Then it’s time to settle into your usual routine to get all your tasks done. A personal situation could require more attention from you.
