Dozens of area residents stood in front of a machine that spit out mail ballots in rapid fire in just one step of the process Arapahoe County uses to count votes.

Matt Crane, Arapahoe County clerk and recorder, led the crowd on a Nov. 1 tour through the county’s Elections Facility at 5251 S. Federal Blvd. in Littleton, where election workers were already deep into processing received mail ballots for

“I started doing it because it fascinated me how much it takes to get a ballot through the process,” said Kathleen Mendelson, 68, a Denver resident who has helped

Littleton Public Schools will kick off a longterm effort to rebuild many of the district’s buildings after voters approved Ballot Issue 4A, a $298 million bond.

The measure was passing by a wide margin, with 55 percent of the vote and more than 43,000 votes counted, according to preliminary results released by the county at 9 p.m.

“The voters have stepped up,” said LPS Superintendent Brian Ewert. “The community realized we needed to do something significant to get ahead of the game on school construction.”

District officials say the bond will help them better prepare students for life after school and begin replacing the district’s aging buildings.

The measure is the largest LPS has ever asked for, and will increase property taxes in the district by $29 to $49 per $100,000 of actual home value per year. That means a resident with a home worth $500,000 could see an increase of $145 to $245 a year.

Fighting youth suicide requires cultural change, says LPS group Focus on strength, resilience, acceptance, say experts and students

Attendees of Littleton Public Schools’ Sources of Strength meeting hold decals aloft that are meant to remind them to reach out to people in need.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

All too often, young people battle mental health issues in silence and isolation. Winning those battles requires help from their schools, families and community — and perhaps a change in our culture as well.

That was the message at Littleton Public Schools’ second annual public forum on youth mental health and suicide on Oct. 29, part of the district’s Sources of Strength project, which seeks to change unhealthy norms and culture.

For the second year in a row, the meeting followed close after tragedy in the district, following the deaths of two students by suicide at Arapahoe High School in early October.

But an overbearing focus on youth suicide can be deceptive and counterproductive, said Scott LoMurray, the deputy director of the national Sources of Strength project.

“In a community that has experienced a lot of death and trauma, there can be a narrative around that trauma,” LoMurray said. “Even statistics can be misleading. Saying suicide is the second-leading cause of death of teenagers in Colorado is accurate, but there aren’t that many things that

DAVID GILBERT

kill young people. It can create a false normalization and make it seem more common than it really is.”

Students who already feel hopeless might begin to identify with those stories and statistics, LoMurray said, when the reality is that the vast majority of people who experience suicidal feelings don’t go on to die by suicide.

Rather than focusing strictly on intervening at the moment a young person feels close to suicide, LoMurray said, Sources of Strength focuses on encouraging connection with things that build strength and resiliency: family, friends, mentors, healthy activities, generosity, spirituality, and medical and mental health access.

Students who spoke at the event attested to LoMurray’s methods.

Aria Peters, an eighth-grader at Options Middle School, said making connections to those around her pulled her out of a dark place personally.

“I thought about suicide in seventh grade,” Peters said. “I was suffering physical and verbal abuse — I stopped coming to school and distanced myself from family and friends. Something had to change. I was tired of being told I was the problem.”

At Options, Peters said, she found strength in spirituality, and met student and adult mentors. Now, Peters said, she draws resilience and selfworth from volunteering at her church, playing on the school basketball team and participating in Girl Scouts.

“There’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” Peters said. “Don’t let darkness control your life.”

Responsibility for addressing the struggles faced by young people falls on the entire community, said Dr. Anna Mueller, a sociologist and professor at the University of Chicago.

As part of ongoing research into youth suicide, Mueller studied an af-

fluent and interconnected community that suffered several suicide clusters.

The anonymous community, which Mueller calls Poplar Grove, yielded big lessons about the causes of and responses to youth suicide, she said.

First, the community had strict and narrow ideals for what constituted a good kid and a good family, Mueller said, largely centered around academic and athletic achievement.

Second, the community was highly socially connected, which caused youths to have outsized concerns about living up to community ideals and expectations.

Finally, students in the community felt like admitting their struggles were contrary to the expectation that they make their academic and athletic achievements look easy.

“Kids reported intense anxiety and stress around failure or even thinking that failure might occur,” Mueller said.

“We need to think about the psychological pain that can result from narrow cultural ideals about what good kids are and what a good transition to adulthood looks like.”

The meeting was encouraging, said Laura Smith, a parent of two LPS students who said she attended because she was distressed by the Arapahoe suicides.

“It’s scary, but if I keep thinking everything is scary, I won’t have the hope that this can be overcome,” Smith said. “It starts feeling like a death sentence rather than an illness that can be treated.”

LEAP launches online application for assistance program STAFF REPORT

Colorado’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program will kick off the 2018-19 season with a new online application process for individuals and families needing heating assistance.

Crow unseats Coffman in CD6

Democrat defeats incumbent Republican congressman

Arapahoe County: Election results for state Legislature and county offices

BY ELLIS ARNOLD AND KAILYN LAMB EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM, KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Democratic newcomer Jason Crow will be the new U.S. representative for the 6th Congressional District after scoring about a 9 percentage-point victory over Republican incumbent Mike Coffman.

Crow garnered about 53 percent of the vote, according to results posted by the state shortly after 7 a.m. Nov. 7, the morning after Election Night. Coffman received about 44 percent of the vote, with Libertarian Kat Martin Coffman and unaffiliated candidate Dan Chapin combining for roughly 3 percent of the vote.

In the race that broke the five-term congressman’s hold on the widely diverse district, Crow looked to sow unity in his victory speech.

“To be very clear, Mike Coffman and his supporters are not our enemies,” said Crow, who thanked Coffman and called him a hard worker who served his country well. “This is politics, not war.

I will never stop trying to find common ground where I can.”

Public-school students speak more than 160 languages in the district’s anchor, Aurora, a place where voters strongly favor Democrats. Both candidates call the city home. Crow touched on diversity in his address, calling it an attribute that makes the country strong.

“Americans value and celebrate our

BOND

In return, district officials say, students will receive a laundry list of benefits: several elementary schools on the southeast side of the district in Centennial will be rebuilt or retooled, a new stadium would be built at Newton Middle School to ease pressure on Littleton Public Schools Stadium, and the district will outfit a career and technical education center where students could learn vocational skills.

“I think the most significant thing is that this will allow us to address a backlog of issues around access for people with disabilities,” Ewert said. “We have kids, faculty, parents and grandparents who can’t get around our buildings very easily, and now we can start fixing that.”

Ewert said it is the beginning of a long-term effort to replace the district’s buildings, which have an average age of 58 years.

More than half of the bond money will go toward projects to rebuild or revamp several schools.

“There’s something in this for every school,” said Littleton Board of Education President Jack Reutzel. “There are so many boilers to replace and roofs to fix.”

The following are unofficial, preliminary results from the Nov. 6 election for state Legislature and county offices, as of 12:49 a.m. Nov. 7:

Democrat Jason Crow gives his acceptance speech during the Arapahoe County Democratic watch party on Nov. 6. Crow won the seat for 6th Congressional District with 53 percent of the vote, unseating incumbent Republican Mike Coffman.

KAILYN LAMB diversity,” Crow said. “We are more than just a melting pot of cultures — we are a vibrant melting pot of ideas.”

Coffman faced a strong challenge from Crow, an attorney and military veteran.

The Cook Political Report, a prominent, nonpartisan newsletter that analyzes elections, listed the district as one of 30 toss-ups in the country — and the only one in Colorado — in September.

The question on the national radar was if 2018 is the year the district would finally flip blue, given its demographic makeup. The Democrats’ national chances of taking control of the U.S. House were expected to be reflected in this race’s outcome, local pundits have said.

In addition to Aurora, the district includes south suburbs like Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch, which are strongly Republican, and to the north, Brighton and part of Thornton, which are part of decidedly blue Adams County. Aurora accounts for about 44 percent of the district’s roughly 815,000 people.

Coffman, a military veteran who grew up in the heart of Aurora, had persisted against well-known Democratic challengers in previous elections. He won the seat in 2008 and has been re-elected four times.

Coffman could not be reached for comment on Election Night.

Among the big projects, at roughly $75 million, will be to build a new, two-story school on the Newton Middle School campus at Arapahoe Road and Colorado Boulevard in Centennial while school is still in session at Newton. The district’s current timeline anticipates beginning construction in 2020, with completion in the fall of 2021.

Newton’s structural integrity is failing, Ewert said, and disability access issues mean that it can take a student on crutches or in a wheelchair 20 minutes to get from one side of the school to the other.

Another quarter of the bond money will go toward a systematic retooling of elementary schools on the district’s southeastern side.

The time has come to build a new school on the site of the old Ames Elementary School near Dry Creek Road and Colorado Boulevard, one of two schools shuttered in 2008, Ewert said. The other closed school, Whitman Elementary, has since become the district’s alternative high school.

Though Ames was closed in part due to paltry enrollment, that corner of the district has seen an influx of new families in recent years, Ewert said.

Roughly 500 students in the old Ames “catchment” area now ride buses to Highland, Franklin and Lenski elementary schools.

As well as rebuilding Ames, Franklin Elementary near deKoevend Park will get a new building while school was still in session at the old building. Once the new building at Franklin is completed, Highland Elementary — which is less than a mile from Franklin — will be closed and its student body absorbed into Franklin.

District officials anticipate the Ames project will be complete by the fall of 2021, with Franklin’s rebuild completed by the fall of 2022.

Highland will then absorb some of the programming at Ames, including preschool programs and possibly TLC Meals on Wheels, which currently uses Ames’ kitchen.

Reutzel said the bond has implications for all of the district’s residents, even those without kids.

“Voters understand the value of a well-regarded school district,” Reutzel said. “It has positive impacts for property values too.”

Passing a large bond that results in a tax increase is a hefty responsibility, Reutzel said.

“We don’t take tax burdens lightly,” Reutzel said. “We believe that we have developed a relationship with voters that they expect great things and we deliver. In return, we expect them to support us when it makes sense, and that was evident on election night.”

Source of Arapahoe Road petition funding unclear Fight against car dealerships got help worth more than $107,000 from Delaware entity

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The amount of monetary contributions and expenditures reported by No New Dealerships on Arapahoe, the issue committee supporting a petition against additional car dealerships in central Centennial, is zero.

However, an enigmatic Delawarebased company, Sequoia Community Partners LLC, spent more than $107,500 to provide “in-kind” support to the committee, including $96,000 that went to a firm gathering signatures for the petition.

That’s according to the campaignfinance report dated Nov. 1 for the No New Dealerships on Arapahoe committee, which aimed to stop a 5-4 Centennial City Council decision to allow new car dealerships on the Central Arapahoe Road Corridor — roughly between Interstate 25 and South Parker Road. The petition was deemed sufficient by the city clerk Oct. 24 after garnering roughly 4,700 valid signatures, more than 600 above the threshold that petitioners needed to clear, according to results from the city clerk’s office.

The conflict echoes the previous fight over development on Arapa-

hoe Road in 2016, when resident Jill Meakins and now-Councilmember Tammy Maurer pushed a petition that stopped the city from allowing more car dealerships, among other types of businesses. That 2016 effort was not required to reveal finances.

Some residents have expressed the desire for different kinds of development — theaters, restaurants or other shopping, for example — in the nearly built-out stretch of the city, where car dealerships are the defining feature of the thoroughfare for several blocks.

Former Mayor Cathy Noon has argued medical uses would be preferable.

Now, the council could choose to repeal the ordinance allowing new dealerships and possibly pass some kind of compromise, or the city’s voters will approve or vote down the ordinance in a special election, likely in March. What the city will do next was to be discussed at the Nov. 5 council meeting, according to Allison Wittern, city spokeswoman.

It wasn’t immediately clear who’s behind Sequoia Community Partners.

The campaign-finance report, posted on the city’s website, details activity by No New Dealerships on Arapahoe between Sept. 10 and Nov. 1. It shows the committee taking in, and spending, no

monetary contributions or loans. But the total it received in non-monetary contributions — bills paid for directly by another entity, according to Katie Kennedy of Denver, the committee’s registered agent — is $107,540.

Those contributions came from Sequoia Community Partners LLC, an entity listed at 251 Little Falls Drive in Wilmington, Delaware. That’s the address of Corporation Service Company, a business that serves as a registered agent — a party that acts as a business’s legal contact for the government.

Sequoia Community Partners doesn’t appear to have a Colorado location, online contact information or records with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office. More than a million businesses are incorporated in tiny Delaware, where laws and policies provide privacy protection and other benefits to businesses.

The campaign-finance report lists Sequoia as making a $1,540 payment to Denver-based Campaign Products of the Rockies for petition printing, $96,000 to Lakewood-based Rocky Mountain Voter Outreach for signature gathering, and $10,000 to Denverbased CRL Associates for consulting.

Those totals seem standard for what the usual cost of a petition would be, Kennedy said. Kennedy isn’t in charge of the payments and can’t speak to who Sequoia is, she said.

SEE PETITION, P8

FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY The City of Centennial does not have financial records regarding a 2016 petition on Arapahoe Road development because under campaign rules, there was no required filing, according to Allison Wittern, city spokeswoman.

Supporters or opponents of a ballot question — in this case, asking voters to support or decline the council’s move to allow car dealerships — must register as an “issue committee” under state and municipal law if they are: • A group of two or more individuals, a business, or both, and • Have accepted or made contributions or expenditures of $200 or more to support or oppose that ballot question; or have printed more than 200 petition sections (copies of a petition) or more than 200 petition sections have been accepted.

According to Lynn Bartels, spokeswoman for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, reporting requirements kick in once a petition is submitted for approval to be circulated — in other words, when people are allowed to collect signatures. Payments before that point would not require reporting, according to the office.

During the 2016 push, the city received 167 petition sections, whereas 253 packets were submitted for the current petition, according to the city clerk’s office.

Kennedy, of Strategic Compliance LLC, has had wide experience as a registered agent — she oversees campaignfinance compliance, serving about 80 groups in Colorado, she said. That includes big-name organizations like the Senate Majority Fund, the Colorado Republican Leadership Fund, the Fix Our Damn Roads committee — a prominent group that supports current state ballot Proposition 109 — and Stapleton For Colorado, the candidate committee to support Walker Stapleton for governor, according to Colorado Secretary of State records.

Claims of influence The company that owns a piece of land intended for a Mercedes-Benz outlet on Arapahoe Road claims some pushback against car dealerships is a ploy by an outside interest — namely, another Mercedes-Benz dealer in Littleton.

Ron Ferris, CEO of the company looking to open the dealership near East Arapahoe Road and South Potomac Street, has claimed that most of the people collecting signatures for the 2016 petition regarding Arapahoe Road development were paid for, essentially,

by Mercedes-Benz of Littleton. Mercedes-Benz of Littleton filed a lawsuit in late 2016 over the potential Centennial dealership, alleging it would bring unfair competition.

Ferris has also claimed the Littleton dealership was behind a mailer around this spring that opposed Centennial’s current green-lighting of dealerships, too. Ferris is CEO of Pennsylvaniabased Bobby Rahal Automotive Group.

Ferris said Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a law firm that has represented the Littleton dealership, pulled the strings in supporting the pushback in 2016 and earlier this year.

“I’ve had no communication with a law firm for another dealership,” Meakins, the 2016 petitioner, said in a previous interview.

Around the time of the 2016 petition,

iff ’s office. Beck is facing three counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in position of trust, and he was immediately placed on leave without pay, the release said.

“I am disgusted by the nature of these charges,” said Dave Walcher, Arapahoe sheriff, in the release. “Should the allegations prove to be true, his actions have not only forever impacted the lives of the victims; they have also cast a shadow on the great work our staff does every day in service to our community.”

Beck has been employed with the sheriff’s office since January 2009, and he has had no interaction with juveniles during that employment, the release said.

The Pueblo County case remains an active investigation, the release said, and no additional information or agency photo was released.

Maurer, the other petitioner, said she had a private financial backer who provided funds for an attorney to draft the petition and for a company, Black Diamond Outreach, to collect signatures.

Mercedes-Benz of Littleton, in August, did not respond for comment after a phone call and emailed questions about Ferris’ statements. Lara Day, spokeswoman for Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, said the firm doesn’t disclose its clients and did not have further comment on Ferris’ statements.

Both entities are listed on their websites at 141 Union Blvd., Suite 300, in Lakewood. Phone numbers for both companies lead to the voicemail box for the same person, who said in a phone call that the companies are separate.

She referred the Centennial Citizen to call Steve Adams, one of the owners of Rocky Mountain Voter Outreach and former president of the Colorado AFLCIO union group. Adams did not return a call.

Kennedy, who said she has experience as a registered agent regarding petition efforts, guessed that the companies have the same ownership but said they have different management.

Providers of help say they need help South metro nonprofit has big mission as donations decline

HOW INTEGRATED FAMILY HELPS

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A staple of low-income assistance for families in the south metro area says if things don’t change soon, it may have to make large cuts to its operation.

Amid funding cuts and challenging attitudes toward donating to Integrated Family Community Services — which serves Englewood, Centennial, Glendale, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree, Sheridan and unincorporated Arapahoe County — the organization that serves thousands of families and individuals is looking to bridge the gap.

“The reality is, in the future, if the climate doesn’t change, we’re going to be too poor to help the poor,” said Todd McPherson, a leader of Integrated Family, which is located in the southwest Denver metro area. “The next year will really show what direction we need to go.”

The nonprofit, once known as InterFaith Community Services, doesn’t plan to close its doors, but it’s in dire straits as it takes in less money from local governments and continues an uphill battle to make its mission clear to the south metro area. Integrated

Margie Carroll, a volunteer at Integrated Family Community Services, helps a client get food Oct. 30 at the building’s food pantry. The organization sits at 3370 S. Irving St. in the Sheridan area.

ELLIS ARNOLD Family provides food, rent assistance, clothes and even help with bus tickets, gas gift cards and medical prescriptions. Its services also include support for crime victims and transitional housing for the homeless.

But because the list is so long, it’s a challenge to build a recognizable brand — although it served more than 16,000 individuals during the 12 months ending Aug. 31, Integrated Family still needs to get the word out,

McPherson said. Its troubles come amid an increasingly prominent homelessness issue in the Englewood area in recent years and sky-high housing costs throughout the metro area.

“If you think of Goodwill, Arc, Salvation Army or the Denver Rescue Mission, people have a basic idea” of what they do, said McPherson, the nonprofit’s development director. “But for us, it gets complex because you have to tell this big story.”

What’s more, the change from “Inter-Faith” to “Integrated Family” has made establishing connections even harder — and even alienated some partners who pitched in because of the perceived religious ties, McPherson said.

“People believed all along that we were something we weren’t,” said McPherson, noting the nonprofit has connected with atheists, Jews, Muslims and Christians.

Integrated Family doesn’t want to push away, for example, gay people or those of other religions who might have pause in interacting with the organization had it kept “faith” in its name, McPherson added. It’s gotten some backlash from the religious community for the change, which happened in January 2016, but it made the switch partly to address the issue that “interfaith” is difficult to translate into other languages.

“It’s a Catch-22,” McPherson said.

“If we were called something different in the ‘60s, who knows.”

Integrated Family grew out of an effort by community leaders in a garage, McPherson said, and it has come a long way since its establishment in 1964 — it spent more than $1.1 million in the 12 months ending Aug. 31 distributing meals, handing out backpacks and school supplies, and helping families in need in several other ways, including its holiday programs. For Thanksgiving, it provides more than 650 baskets, each with more than 30 food items like stuffing, yams and a “turkey gift card,” and for December holidays, those in need receive food and gifts.

Of Integrated Family Community Service’s clients, 76 percent are single mothers, and many others are seniors taking care of grandchildren.

From September 2017 through August 2018, Integrated Family gave out 117,873 meals, provided services to 16,337 low-income individuals and worked with 1,908 volunteers, according to a fact sheet.

Services include: • Food pantry • Donated clothing bank • Rent/mortgage or utility assistance • Medical prescription assistance • Transportation assistance • Crime victims assistance • School supplies • Local recreation center passes • Thanksgiving meals for families and seniors • Adopt-a-family/adopt-a-senior programs: Families and seniors can receive food for the December holidays • Holiday gift giveaway • Mother’s Day meal and gift program Individuals, service groups, churches, school clubs, businesses and other organizations can offer to sponsor those in need.

For information on income qualifications and how to register for any assistance programs, visit www.ifcs.org or call 303-789-0501. Integrated Family is located at 3370 S. Irving St. in the Sheridan-southwest Denver area.

One family who signed up for the holiday programs this year was Kim May, Jeremy Dupree and their 7-yearold son, Chad Kolak, who sat in the nonprofit’s waiting area Oct. 30. Dupree, 44, has a seasonal job operating heavy equipment, and May, 43, cleans houses. They have two other boys, too, and live in Centennial.

“When we signed up, we thought it was just for the holiday package,” May said. “We didn’t know they had all this.”

May grew up in Arvada, and as a native here, she feels like she might have to move out of the area, May said.

Asked what her family needs most, she simply said: “Food.”

Other metro-area organizations that help families like May’s are feeling the financial squeeze, too, McPherson said, either closing or cutting parts of their programs to survive. Denver Urban Matters and the Fresh Harvest Food Bank in Lone Tree are two examples, he said.

Charitable giving increased nationally in recent years, McPherson said, but for Integrated Family, it has declined. Political and demographic changes could be factors, but it’s difficult to know what drives the trends, he added.

People can contact the nonprofit and ask about ways to help, McPherson said, but the best way in this season may be to give cash donations.

“People with good intentions want to give stuff,” such as physical items like clothes, but Integrated Family needs more funding to stay stable, McPherson said. That’s partly because 90 cents of every dollar donated to it goes to programs and services.

It’s all to keep people from falling through the cracks, McPherson said.

“We’re here to stand in the gap,” he said.

Device location for 911 calls continues to improve STAFF REPORT

The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office Communications Center now has the improved ability to receive fast, accurate device location for 911 calls from cell phones via the RapidSOS NG911 Clearinghouse.

Cellular technology gets the sheriff ’s office close to 911 callers who have called on a mobile device, but RapidSOS provides ever greater device-specific accuracy in less time, trimming seconds from response time in an emergency, according to a sheriff ’s office news release.

RapidSOS works for both iPhone and android phones; however, iPhones must be updated to iOS 12.

The journey for a ballot is long: Vehicles pick up ballots and bring them to the facility, where they’re sorted and weighed, put through the Agilis ballot-sorting machine where signatures are captured, and examined by workers at tables. Workers also verify signatures independently by comparing them to signatures on file on computer screens. Eventually,

Call takers and dispatchers will receive location information only for phones that have called 911 in the Arapahoe County jurisdiction, and only within the first 10 minutes after the call has been placed. The program does not require users to have location data turned on.

The sheriff ’s office communications center is using the RapidLite, a free version of the platform. In 2019, the platform will be integrated into our Computer Aided Dispatch system.

That cost will be funded by the Arapahoe County E911 Emergency Communications Service Authority, which supports six dispatch centers or public safety answering points in Arapahoe County.

a tabulation machine reads the ballots and counts results.

The county’s process as a whole involves many computerized steps, and Crane answered questions for the crowd as it watched the Agilis machine shoot out ballots into a row of stacks for collection.

“I like working with these people,” said Lopez, a Centennial resident. “It’s not about the money — it’s about doing community service.”

To address what state and health officials are calling an epidemic, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order outlining efforts to decrease the use of e-cigarettes and other vaping products among teens.

“What we are trying to do with this executive order is to beef up compliance checks for businesses,” Hickenlooper said at a Nov. 2 press conference at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “It’s also going to require the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to begin conducting research between vaping and some of the other risky behaviors we see with our kids.”

The order doubles the number of compliance checks on businesses that sell vapor products and bans the use of vaping products in state buildings, Hickenlooper said.

He recommends the General Assembly pass legislation on existing tobacco policy, including raising the minimum sales age for tobacco and e-cigarrette products to 21 years old.

As part of the order, the Department of Public Health and Environment issued a statewide health advisory on vaping and nicotine addiction, and Hickenlooper proclaimed the month of November as “No Vape November.”

Colorado leads the nation in the number of youth who use e-cigarettes and other vaping products, according to the most recent Behavioral Risk Survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 25 percent of high school students use vapor products and more than 50 percent of high school students have tried vapor products. That’s twice the national average.

“Youth vaping, the percentage of kids vaping, is not a list we want to be at the top of,” Hickenlooper said. “But we are.”

The use of vaping products has skyrocketed among youth nationwide, health officials say. The most popular product on the market is the Juul. The discreet device resembles a black disk drive with a pod that contains as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, health officials say.

The pods come in flavors attractive to kids, such as cotton candy and mango. Juul Labs has faced several lawsuits, claiming the company targets youth with its marketing and falsely advertises.

Juul Labs supports Hickenlooper’s call to raise the purchasing age for e-cigarettes and vaping products to 21, according to Ted Kwong, a Juul Labs spokesman.

“Underage use is directly opposed to our mission of eliminating cigarettes by offering existing adult smokers a true alternative to combustible cigarettes,” Kwong said in an email correspondence. “While we believe flavors play an important role in helping adult smokers switch to vapor technology, we also support reasonable regulation to restrict advertising and naming of inappropriate flavors such as cotton candy and gummy bear that are directed at children.”

When young people consume nicotine in any form, their health and brain development are at risk, said Dr. Tista Ghosh, interim chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

“Early research indicates kids who vape are more likely to later smoke cigarettes, a lethal habit,” said Ghosh, adding that vaping may be an indicator of other at-risk behaviors, such as binge drinking, marijuana use or use of prescription drugs.

To not address youth vaping, Hickenlooper said, would be “irresponsible.”

“I think it’s safe to say that the long term health of teens continues to be at high risk,” Hickenlooper said. “With teenagers, this is a seed that is getting planting and has the potential to lead to lifelong addictions to not just vaping, but to cigarettes.”

LAMB FROM PAGE 14

I have been so lucky in my own friendships.

In my last few years of college at MSU Denver I met my boyfriend, Will, and eventually several of his friends.

In 2013, Will and I joined in on our friends’ family dinner tradition.

One of us would host and everyone would bring a dish. On Sunday nights we’d catch up on life over plates of homemade noodles, tikka masala, guacamole, whatever the theme was for that day.

Food tastes better when it’s shared with friends. To me, cheesy as it sounds, cooking is the currency of love.

Over the years, friends have moved away, new friends have joined and, although we don’t get together to cook every week any more, we still make sure to meet up every once in a while over a homemade meal.

My love of cooking for people goes

back to childhood family holidays.

We’d pack up the car and head to my grandparents’ house in Westminster.

Food would sit on the kitchen counters, buffet style, as my pile of cousins, siblings, aunts and uncles filed through with plates of turkey and mashed potatoes.

The holidays were when my family would get together and laugh over our meal, enjoy each other’s company and, depending on the day, cheer on the Broncos or the Avalanche.

As an adult, I now bring my own dish to the table at family meals.

I love planning for my family’s various events — a raspberry pie for the whole family because it’s my grandpa’s favorite, potatoes at my dad’s because he doesn’t like vegetables, adventurous international foods with my mom, and so on.

Local is big.

We love it when local businesses succeed.

We offer full color print and digital advertising packages and free design services to help you create your success story.

But like Julia, my favorite person to cook for is my partner in crime.

For the past seven years, Will and I have spent time huddled in kitchens across the state, sampling soups and sauces.

Will’s specialty is guacamole or hot wings, mine is Alfredo or carbonara with homemade noodles.

We are our own worst critics, and Will nearly always finds something wrong with the dishes he makes. But despite Will’s pickiness about his cooking, there are few people with whom I would rather share a kitchen.

The holidays were when my family would get together and laugh over our meal ...

Sharing a meal brings warmth to friendships. For me, it starts with a good cookbook: What should I make?

What will people like best?

Over the years I have collected cookbooks with cuisine from around the world, including “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” by Julia, with her co-authors and friends, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck. My favorite pages are usually earmarked or stained with flour and oil.

The recipes don’t have to be complicated. The presentation doesn’t need to be on par with the finest restaurants in the world.

Julia spent the later years of her life making cooking accessible to everyone, assuring viewers of “The French Chef ” that it was OK to break a few eggs in the kitchen.

It will all turn out fine in the end.

Bon appetit.

ason Miller grew up in a small mountain town on the Western Slope of Colorado and in an agricultural community in Montana. He often hunted with his father, a taxidermist. They ate venison nearly every day.

When he was 19, Miller started to question his lifestyle.

“Most of that meat I saw killed and even participated in the hunt,” Miller, now a Littleton resident, said.

“At a certain point, it started to add up on me.”

That year, Miller, now 47, became a vegetarian. A year later, for the welfare of all animals, he switched to a vegan diet. The diet is referred to by many health organizations as the strictest form of vegetarianism.

Vegans abstain from all animal-based products — meat, eggs and dairy.

Some reject wool and leather products.

Around the corner is the holiday season. The time of year typically involves celebrating with friends and family, indulging in rich roasts and decadent, dairy-filled deserts — items that are not on a vegan’s list of things to eat.

Directions: Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk flour, vegetable broth and tamari into the hot oil. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until there are no lumps and the mixture becomes paste-like.

Pour the soy milk into the skillet. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Add yeast and black pepper, stir.

Mashed potatoes Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 35 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: 2 pounds russet potatoes, 8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed, 1 sprig fresh rosemary, 1 sprig fresh thyme, 1/4 cup olive oil, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Directions: Place potatoes, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a large pot, cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook covered for about 30 minutes, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife. Drain, but keep 1 cup

of cooking water. Transfer the potatoes and garlic to a bowl, and dispose rosemary and thyme. Add olive oil, salt and pepper.

Mash with a potato masher and add cooking water to reach desired consistency.

Meringues Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 1 1/2 hours Servings: 25 Ingredients: 1 15-ounce can of chickpeas, 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 3/4 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional).

or the entire second half of the 20th century and beyond, most Americans were presented with one perspective on the island nation of Cuba.

The island nation is actually Clarke Reader an archipelago of more than 4,000 islands and keys, and home to 11 million people. Cuba is also one of the region’s most ecologically diverse countries, with the Caribbean’s healthiest coral reefs, most significant wetlands and largest rainforest.

The main feature of the exhibition is a replica plaza, which gives attendees the chance to learn more about day-to-day life in a Cuban town. By wandering through the plaza, visitors can learn about everything from dominoes, foods and coffee and music that can be heard on a local radio station. There’s also information on the nation’s 16 baseball teams and the vintage cars that make Cuban streets such a colorful and nostalgic means of travel.

Arts center looks to the future Town Hall’s executive director planning to step down soon and return to East

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

TRAINING The Aurora-South Metro SBDC helps existing and new businesses grow and prosper through workshops and consulting.

Business Plan Basics

Town Hall’s busy Box Office is central to the local theater’s success. work on a personal or professional project … perhaps food service could be arranged. Perhaps some redesign of exterior lighting and interaction with Main Street is in order?

We had lunch with Town Hall Executive Director Cheryl McNab to catch up on planning as it looks now. She says she plans to retire soon — probably in December — and move back to “Maryland, family and beaches” with

BUSINESS

In summer 2017, Town Hall Arts Center’s board of directors consulted with Paul Bryant and Callan Meek of local architecture firm Bryant Flink and developed a design Charrette, Vision 2025, as a guideline for future planning decisions for the downtown Littleton venue.

Prior to that time, there was a search for additional space, which the City of Littleton would acquire, so education activities, offices and tech and storage could move and expand, an idea encouraged by former City Manager Michael Penny, who was fired by the City Council’s 4-2 vote in June 2016. Public Works Director Mark Relph was appointed acting city manager first, then hired for the top position in May 2017. He then needed time to get up to speed, of course.

The architects suggested a vision for the Town Hall lobby that would make it a more publicly used space — “Main Street’s Living Room,” it was called.

Here small meetings might occur, people could use it as a place to connect with others, to perhaps sit and

her husband, so a successor will pick up on the future planning. The board of directors expects to find an interim manager while a search goes on for a permanent replacement. McNab thinks an interim manager could/ would assist with the search.

Town Hall is in really good shape financially, she said, with some shows selling out and others selling well.

Musicals and concerts are what the Town Hall audience says it wants, so the planning committee books accordingly and successfully. In addition, the education program, run by Seth Maisel, is bursting at the seams and could definitely expand if there were more space, she says. Rehearsals are often held elsewhere and storage for props and costumes is rented offsite — at a considerable cost. Ongoing art exhibits are held in the Stanton Gallery, which is also used for events.

In recent months, the city personnel and council have been focused on a ballot question over the fire district.

Perhaps after Election Day, Town Hall’s future can again grab attention, McNab hopes. A couple possible expansion locations are being explored, with some assistance from Catamount Construction on estimating costs and

design. Firm numbers are needed by the board in order to speak with city council members, McNab says.

Town Hall needs another 1,200 to 1,400 square feet (1,400 would allow for a small black box theater to accommodate children’s performances, so they don’t have to be crammed in between musicals—or at odd times on musical sets!).

A sure-to-be-popular musical version of “A Christmas Carol” will be onstage for families and an art show of miniatures will be held in Stanton Gallery, ensuring lots of happy traffic through the old building.

Built in 1920, the Town Hall building was originally designed by Jules Jacques Benoit Benedict, a well-recognized Denver area architect, who had also designed the Carnegie Library (now The Melting Pot), First Presbyterian Church and his own home, now the Carmelite Monastery in Littleton, as well as a number of stylish Denver homes and commercial and educational buildings.

It was used as Littleton’s increasingly crowded civic building until the Littleton Center on Berry Avenue opened in 1977. In 1980, a fundraising campaign raised enough to remodel the interior and change it into a theater for local stage events, opening in March 1983.

Cheryl McNab doesn’t think either she or her husband will truly retire — “There are a number of colleges in the area and we both teach …”

Born in Denver, McNab lived in a number of locations with her family, as her dad was a federal engineer.

When in the Washington, D.C./ Fairfax, Virginia area, “We discovered Ocean City” in Maryland and beaches generally. She had been a social worker/housing counselor and teacher. She came to Littleton from an arts center in Grand Junction and before that, she had lived elsewhere in the U.S. and taught in England and in Africa (Zambia for eight years).

Although McNab’s upcoming resignation is a loss for Town Hall and Littleton’s Main Street, we will be interested to see where her enthusiastic approach to communities takes her next — and will hope to report to her many fans …

Amazon 4-Star store opens at Park Meadows Location features products rated four stars or higher, area’s trending items

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Amazon 4-Star store is made up of products with at least four-star ratings. Some products are curated specifically to goods that trend well online in the area.

PHOTOS BY NICK PUCKETT

Amazon 4-star is just the second of its kind in the United States. The first Amazon 4-star opened in New York in September. The space at Park Meadows was initially reserved for an Amazon Books store, another brick-and-mortar Amazon shop, of which there are 17 in the country, focusing mostly on books and tablets.

According to Amazon officials, the company changed its mind and brought a 4-star instead.

Evelyn Scott, a local librarian and Park Meadows shopper, was surprised to see an Amazon 4-star, but said she thinks the store will be useful when trying to find gifts for her granddaughter. Scott said she is an Amazon Prime member and will still likely shop online primarily. Scott said she thinks the store would be helpful to test out newer products.

“I think it’s interesting that we’re heading so much toward technology and things online, but then we come right back to people still want to touch and see it,” Scott said.

The store also features Amazon’s flagship products like the Kindle e-book reader, Kindle Fire tablet and Ring, an easy-to-use front door

security camera. Amazon Prime members are offered a discount price, which matches the product’s online price.

Products in the store are constantly changing, Janes said, reflecting changes in local trends or seasonal products. Janes added that a product is immediately pulled off the shelves if it fails to meet at least four stars

The Amazon 4-Star store is the newest addition to the Park Meadows Shopping Resort. The store offers products found on Amazon rated at four stars or higher, from books to tech to board games. online. The curation process is done

by Amazon employees.

“They’re looking at those products that are selling well and are highly rated and using some human judgment as well. There’s some art and science involved as well,” Janes said.

“We’re constantly curating the store and making sure it lives up to the name on the front.”

Shoppers can go from browsing the latest technology to state-of-the-art cookware to the top-selling books in one brief stroll around the Amazon 4-star outlet store, the newest attraction at Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree.

Amazon 4-star opened Nov. 1 and is an assortment of products found on Amazon.com rated at four stars or better. Real customer reviews and average online ratings, up to five stars, accompany product price tags.

Some displays are advertised as “Trending in Denver,” marking the placement of products with high online popularity from Denver-area shoppers. Other displays are labeled “Frequently Bought Together” and “Most Wished-For,” popular categories when shopping on Amazon.

“It’s all about product discovery at a place like this,” said Cameron Janes, vice president of Amazon 4-star. “These products are on Amazon.com, but you’re not often exposed to them because you’re searching for your specific thing. Here, we make it really easy to discover something for yourself or for gifts, and because everything makes that curation bar, you don’t have to worry about if it’s a good product. They’re all good products.”

Danny Kim and his family, who live in Littleton, are frequent shoppers on Amazon.com. His wife and his son, Maximus, walked around the new store on its opening day impressed with the variety of products they loved online. The Kims stopped to let Maximus try out some of the hottest toys.

“It’s a chance for us to get our hands on the stuff,” Danny Kim said.

“It’s more convenient than getting something, then having to wait for it and return it if we don’t like it. If you really like something you can get it.”

Plan ahead For people on a vegan diet, planning ahead is key, said Cynthia Dormer, a registered dietitian and assistant professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

“Plan ahead what your meal is going to be,” Dormer said. “Find things that you really enjoy and that are special to you so that you can enjoy the holiday.”

That’s easy for Miller, who buys meat and dairy substitutes at the local grocery store. His favorite during the holiday season is a tofu “tofurkey” breast with stuffing inside.

For dessert, his freezer is stocked with vegan ice cream, which is typically made with a coconut or almond milk substitute.

“There are so many options now,” Miller said. “There’s always some central dish that you can have.”

Vegans looking to dine out have options.

On Thanksgiving Day from noon to 7 p.m., Native Foods Café, 680 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, will offer a buffet special with all-vegan options. Menu items are a plant-based roast, shepherd’s pie, apple-cider braised Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and gravy, among other holiday favorites. Adults pay $29.99, kids 12 and under cost $14.99 and children under 2 are free.

Vegetarian: a meat-free diet that excludes any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish, or by-products of animal slaughter.

Sides include coconutroasted sweet potatoes and creamy broccoli-cauliflower soap, among others. Whole Foods has locations across the Denver metro area.

Don’t let food get in the way While delicious meals add to the magic of the holiday season, the real joy is in the time spent with family and friends. Dormer encourages people to communicate early and not let diets or restrictions ruin a celebration.

“Vegan people can sometimes have a self-righteous attitude, and certainly they are right in the sense that their approach is more environment- and animal-friendly,” Dormer said. “But if the people around them feel judged for eating their

From there, he’s let rap fans come to his music based on his skills.

“Daytona” is most his most concise and hard-hitting release yet, and is the rap album to beat in 2018. In support of this killer release, Pusha T will be swinging by the Summit Music Hall, 1902 Blake St. in Denver, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

In Miller’s experience, many people view eating vegan as too challenging and expensive.

Low-income households can apply for weatherization services STAFF REPORT

Arapahoe County’s weatherization program has provided energy conservation services for more than 30 years and has weatherized nearly 8,500 homes in the last 10 years.

The program provides services to low-income households in Arapahoe and Adams counties with households up to 200 percent of the federal poverty guideline ($50,200 annual gross for family of four).

Weatherization services are available to income-eligible owners and renters who reside in single-family homes, mobile homes and multifamily units. A home can receive weatherization services only once, and all services and materials are provided at no cost to eligible households. All employees and subcontractors must pass a background check.

Eligible homes go through an energy audit to identify issues that create inef-

ficiencies. A common culprit is a lack of proper insulation or appliances and furnaces that do not operate efficiently.

An audit also can identify potential health and safety issues, such as problems with combustion appliances.

Once an audit is conducted, weatherization technicians provide services needed to fix issues and make a home safer, healthier and more energy efficient.

The weatherization process not only makes a home more comfortable yearround, it also provides cost savings for a family — 10 to 30 percent in monthly utility bills.

For information or to apply for weatherization services, contact the Arapahoe County Weatherization Division at 303-636-1982 or go to www. arapahoegov.com/weatherization.

Funding for weatherization services is provided by the Colorado Energy Office and the U.S. Department of Energy, Denver Regional Office.

Timely tome tells travel tales Memoir takes readers on tour across decades, continents

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Patricia Ann Paul’s recently published memoir title: “Curse of Interesting Times: A Vietnam Era Memoir,” is based on a reputed Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times,” which has no proven source.

But, it was certainly appropriate during what she calls “the Vietnam quagmire” — and unfortunately, strikes home today. The book opens March 31, 1968, as she and her fiance, John, watch President Lyndon Johnson’s announcement that he would not run for another term — due to the Vietnam War. Wedding plans were made for mid-June, soon after graduation from the University of Iowa for both — and John was enrolled in graduate school, while Patricia planned to start teaching nearby. His draft status was 1A and the hope of deferment for graduate school involved holding out through the summer without being drafted. Paul mentions Ken Burns’ statement, connected to his recent documentary about the Vietnam War, which had escalated since 1964, resulting in death for young Americans, that

“it is central to understanding who we are now …” That is a thread that runs through the book, with its historic notes heading many chapters. (I found this really engaging.)

That year (1968) was the Age of Aquarius. “Hair” opened on Broadway; 16,889 American soldiers died in Vietnam; Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated; anti-Vietnam War riots roiled the Democratic National Convention; Americans elected Richard Nixon, the only president to resign … Apartment rental was impossible due to John’s draft status — life focused on the mailbox. John managed to get one semester completed, but had to report Feb. 18 of the next year — after Richard Nixon had become president.

After basic training, with the threat of Vietnam assignment constantly hanging over his head, John was assigned to Mannheim, Germany — somewhat familiar territory to Patricia, who had traveled in Germany. At least for a time, the couple could be together, although the possibility of reassignment hung in the air.

They found a small apartment on the third floor of Frau Schaffer’s house. Despite peeling wallpaper and inadequate heating, they settled into a routine — John became an MP and Patricia found some teaching jobs — necessary because money was short.

When there was time off, they were able to explore in Germany, including during a visit from her parents, which

war-damaged Berlin, now a popular travel destination with shiny shops and hotels.

Eventually, Vietnam became part of our history and in “Epilogue I,” the more mature Pauls returned to Germany in 1991 with their two sons, Ryan and Evan, freshmen in college and high school. Pieces of the fallen Berlin Wall were appearing for sale.

The family flew on Christmas Day, armed with new guidebooks. Landing in Frankfurt, they head for Berlin and search for a Hotel Pension Goethe with no exterior signage evident.

More adventures ensue traveling with teens — food is an issue, but there is a nearby McDonald’s. And imaginations kick in as the boys start to consider a possible past for these buildings and even Checkpoint Charlie — “or what remains of it.” They saw Wartburg Castle, “where Martin Luther hid from Pope Leo XI in 1521 after refusing to deny his beliefs at the Diet of Worms” — and of course to Mannhein to show the boys 102 Arndtstrasse, Mannheim-Feudenheim — where the couple had started out.

(It had a facelift and Frau Schaeffer’s rose jungle no longer drapes over the sidewalk …)

Paul, now retired, wraps up with a bit about teaching “Literature of Conflict: Glorify versus Horrify,” including a talk by a Vietnam Green Beret veteran with spellbinding stories. Kids consider war in a way they had not before. In 2013, the Pauls visited Vietnam … overwhelmed at the tunnels the Viet Cong inhabited and again so grateful that John didn’t have to go there.

Finally, there is an account of travel to Belgium to search for possible relatives-smoothly bringing in another bit of history … and a thorough list of the many citations included. Almost 70 percent of American draftees indeed served elsewhere — not Vietnam — at that time. Where were they??? Paul provides one kind of answer here.

The author lives in Castle Rock — and Keystone — and is active in adult education, with Ollie-Osher Life-Long Learning Institute.

The book is available at Tattered Cover and through Amazon. Paul is available for meetings with groups in the area, the author says.

“Curse of Interesting Times” book cover

by Patricia Paul of Castle Rock. COURTESY PHOTO included some humorous incidents, lovingly recounted …

Bits of recent history are smoothly stitched in. With her parents, they set off on a trip “down the Romantic Road” to Rothenburg ob der Tauber — an outstanding historically rich spot with a medieval castle, begun in the 10th century. During World War II, six Americans were sent to offer the Germans a three-hour window to surrender — or the city would be heavily bombed. The German commander gave up the town, saving it for posterity, Paul writes. “Thank goodness!” Legends about the 17th century’s disastrous Thirty Years War were re-enacted around the marvelous mechanical clock in the square. More easy-to-absorb historic tidbits … Next came a visit to Mad King Ludwig’s Bavarian realm, including the white fairy-tale castle, made more famous by its Disneyland copy …

Later the couple visited Berlin, still “trapped behind the Iron Curtain” — an experience Patricia felt that John should have before they headed for home and law school … Heavy, heavy fog greeted them and stayed with them through a scary flight to still

Sheridan Blvd., mark Nov. 11 as Veterans Day, a day set aside to honor those who have served and are serving in the military Both ceremonies will be held at the traditional time, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month — the time of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918, exactly one century ago.

The Littleton ceremony is sponsored

by Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103.

The ceremony includes comments by guest speakers, and the 21-gun salute will be fired by the All Veterans Honor Guard.

The ceremony at Fort Logan National Cemetery is sponsored annually

by District 10, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary and is held in the open area adjacent to the lake and at the base of the main flagpole.

A VFW honor guard will represent many of the metro-area posts to present the colors as well as the flags from their posts.

Veterans Day speakers at Fort Logan include Lt. Gen. Christopher Coats, deputy commander of the Aerospace Command, and Canadian Consul Stephene Lessard.

In case of bad weather the ceremonies will be at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. The VFW post also will serve lunch after

Members of the All Veterans Honor Guard fire the traditional 21-gun salute during last year’s Veterans Day Ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. The honor guard will again be part of the ceremonies held at the cemetery on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.

TOM MUNDS the Fort Logan ceremonies.

The events including laying of a ceremonial wreath and flowers at a symbolic headstone, followed by the traditional 21-gun salute. An array of horn players will be stationed around the lake and play the echo version of “Taps.”

When the Fort Logan ceremony ends, lunch will be served at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644, 2680 W. Hampden Ave.

NORTON FROM PAGE 14

They would rather continue to tweet and post messages or videos from the past and from someone who happen to be championing a different point of view at the time. It has become a feeding frenzy.

Trust will never be found again or earned again by anyone if our extremism and fanaticism remain where it is today. The point-of-no-return politics has already ruined and corrupted our country, are we really going to let it drive a wedge so far between us as a people that we will continue to erode

He went first, and an assistant delivered his panels to me. I added mine, in some degree of similarity, glued them side by side, and gave them a title.

“Never Known” is on a back wall at the center, with a first-prize ribbon beneath it the size of an apron.

The center’s events director, Allissa Dailey, arranged a wonderful reception for the exhibit.

Jennifer and I arrived before Matt did, and we kept the news of the prize to ourselves until he had a chance to see the ribbon for himself.

Matt’s not crazy about crowds, and there was a possibility he wouldn’t attend, but the front doors opened, and I watched a friend of his push his

our trust in one another to the point of no return?

And if so, who can we ever stand up as a leader and who can withstand the scrutiny of opinion and judgment driven by bias without knowledge, by opinion without fact?

If we can’t trust our politicians at the very highest levels, and we can’t trust the systems that drive our politics, who can we trust? At a minimum, we have to be able to trust one another. We have to be able to come to the center, or at least close enough to it where we can talk rationally about how to fix the brokenness.

Trust lost is not easily found, as we read in the parable above. But it’s not impossible to be found and earned again.

There is a Proverb that reads, “A

gentle response turns away wrath.”

Perhaps as we consider building trust with one another again, we begin with listening first, seeking first to understand, and responding with gentleness instead of wrath.

So how about you? How is your trust level these days? Can we get back to trusting one another? I really would love to hear your story of trust at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can learn to come back to center and restore trust, it really will be a better than good world.

I introduced him to Jennifer, and then we led him back to our painting, which I had completed in my studio — and he had not seen.

I watched his face.

He looked happy and pleased and proud.

I looked at Jennifer and we both might have teared up a little.

During Parent Weekend in 1991 at the Rochester Institute of Technology where he was pursuing photography, Matt was airlifted by helicopter from the crashed car his mother had been driving.

He returned to Colorado (he graduated from Rangeview High School in 1989), paralyzed from the neck down.

He spent six months at Swedish Medical Center and Craig Hospital.

At first he tried to reconnect with photography, but maybe that was too easy.

You can click a camera with almost anything.

Why not try to mix oil paint with a palette stick in your mouth?

Why not try to create distinctive portraits with a paintbrush in your mouth?

And that’s what he has been doing.

Perhaps the most well-known artist with limited mobility, Chuck Close, also paints portraits.

Close had a “catastrophic spinal artery collapse” that left him partially paralyzed, but he is able to work with his hands, and continues to paint largescale portraits that are placed in museums and private collections worldwide.

This ride Matt and I are on is one more immeasurable gift that art has given to me.

Arapahoe’s leading scorer, Cameron Gail, scored in the 53rd minute against Fairview to give the Warriors the only goal of the game. Gail headed the ball into the goal off a corner kick

by Zander Hahn.

olorado Mesa University volleyball standout Kasie Gilfert has a message that sounds simple for players who will be participating in the CHSAA State Volleyball Championships on Nov. 8-10 at the Denver OVERTIME Coliseum.

Now, here comes that word “however,” which usually means the statement that follows contradicts the previous words.

So when Gilfert says to have fun, Jim Benton she knows that isn’t easy when putting in the hard work, trying to win and having to deal with adversity presented during matches and tournaments.

The message Gilfert was sending was that it going to get tougher at the next level so have fun in high school.

Gilfert played in the state tournament when she was a four-year volleyball starter and letter winner, plus a two-season captain at Legend.

She set school single-season records for hitting percentage (.428) and blocks (158) as a junior. She also lettered in track and field.

“The biggest advice I have for the girls playing in the tournament is to just have fun and enjoy those moments,” said Gilfert. “Enjoy who they are playing with and also enjoy volleyball because some of them are seniors and they might be going to the next level or they might not be.

So for some, it could be their last time playing and you want it to be a positive experience and you learn so much stuff from those experiences in volleyball.

“We have so much responsibility in college that fun is not an option.

You have weights in the morning, practice, traveling and there is so much more that comes with the higher level of volleyball.”

The 6-foot redshirt sophomore is a middle blocker/right-side hitter who is having a banner season at CMU this season..

Gilfert, a transfer from Northern Arizona, leads NCAA Division II in hitting percentage at .453 and has recorded five 20-plus kill efforts.

She is the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference leader in hitting percentage and also ranks high in kills, total points and blocking.

Gilfert, as of Nov, 1, led all three NCAA divisions in hitting percentage and she is on pace to break school records for hitting percentage.

Warriors reach soccer semifinals Arapahoe takes down tournament’s top seed, Fairview

Senior midfielder Jacob Vogel looks for an outlet as he approaches the ball during action in the Oct. 31 secondround game against Arvada West at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

Arapahoe gained a berth in the Class 5A state playoff semifinals for the first time since 2010 following a pair of 1-0 victories in the second round and quarterfinals.

The Warriors, seeded No. 8, put their 15-1-2 record on the line in a semifinal match against No. 13 Broomfield that was scheduled for Nov. 7 at Echo Park Stadium in Parker.

Arapahoe earned the semifinal berth with a 1-0 upset over top-seeded Fairview on Nov. 3. It was the first loss of the season for the Knights, who couldn’t manage to score against the Warriors’ stingy defense.

“We played well enough against Fairview,” said coach Mark Hampshire. “Our guys did what they needed to do. In a tight game, there

This season she became CMU’s first ever American Volleyball Coaches Association Division II Player of the Week. She has been selected as the RMAC Player of the Week three times so far this season She said playing in the CHSAA state tournament helped her and can help others.

“It helps you just because when you play there, there is so much happening around you, like there are other courts around you and there are a lot of fans,” she explained. “When you reach that higher level there are all those other distractions and you have to learn to tune them out. Playing in a tournament like the state tournament prepares you for that.”

Bye week to get better Eight football teams enjoyed a bye in the Class 5A playoffs and got a week off before second-round games scheduled to be played on Nov. 10.

ThunderRidge was awarded the No. 8 seed and earned a first-round bye, along with Valor Christian, Columbine, Cherry Creek, Eaglecrest, Grandview, Ralston Valley and Pomona.

“It is definitely unchartered waters for Colorado high school playoffs to have a bye week,” said ThunderRidge coach Doug Nisenson. “The grind of the season, we played 10 straight games and we had our camp right at the end of July and then had a week off before the

official start date. So it’s good to have a chance to rest a little and refocus on some littler things that can’t always be addressed the week of games.

He said teams on a hot streak may not like the bye, but it can help those teams that are dealing with injuries.

“If you are banged up, there is no doubt the bye is helpful,” he said.

Rest is good but teams have to maintain their routines. With the extra time and not having to install a game plan during the first week of the bye, teams can go over some basics that can sometimes be pushed aside during the regular season.

“Instead of installing a game plan the first week we worked on what we feel we need to be better at,” said Nisenson.

“We got back to the basics of how we want our kids to run certain routes and little things that at the beginning of the year you get to spend time on but during the season you are coaching on the fly because the goal is to get the game plan installed and teaching the kids what they are going to go against.

“We’ll see how those top eight teams fare in the second round but it’s a real cool thing for our program to be put in that category with the other teams in the top eight. We’ve told the team that you’ve earned yourself the right to rest a little bit but the teams that are really going to capitalize on this opportunity are the ones that recognize that the off week is a week to get better like any other week.”

SOCCER FROM PAGE 26

Gail picked up an assist in the 1-0 second round win over Arvada West on Oct. 31 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Arapahoe scored in the 15th minute of the first half on a textbook play when Gail beat a defender on the outside after a quick throw in.

He centered a pass and sophomore Jay Wolf converted the pass into the winning goal.

“I think the defense was kind of asleep,” said Wolf. “I saw the ball coming in, I had a wide open net. I hit it and it went in.”

Wolf gave the Warriors the advantage but couldn’t help protect the lead as he was stranded on the sidelines waiting to sub into the game during the final two minutes when the Wildcats controlled the ball and put heavy pressure on the Arapahoe goal.

“I was supposed to sub back in but the ball didn’t go out,” said Wolf. “I trusted everybody on the team that we could put through. We had to drop everybody back, but it worked out. We can hang with anybody.”

Arapahoe dominated play early in the match against Arvada West and then hung on for the victory.

“It’s been something these guys have been very good at,” Hampshire said. “Attack early, try to get the pace up, finish some goals early and make sure that we hold the

lead. It becomes more and more difficult because teams are quick, fast, strong so we have to play smart.

“Arvada West gave us trouble in the end, that’s for sure. I’m very proud of the way these guys handle themselves. It gets very physical.”

Cobb made six save against Arvada West and 10 in the quarterfinal at Fairview.

November 5, 2018

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your usually carefully made holiday plans could be subject to change later this month. Use this week to prepare for that possibility by starting a Plan B just in case you need it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Be careful about joining a colleague’s plan to solve a workplace problem. Investigate it thoroughly.

Otherwise, you could find yourself in a predicament with other associates.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Slow down that highpaced whirl you’ve been on. Spending quiet time alone or with people you care for can be both physically and spiritually restorative.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Make suggestions, not demands. You’ll be more successful in getting people to follow your lead if you exercise quiet patience instead of strong persuasion to get your ideas across.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You still need more facts before you can make an informed career choice. One note of caution: Be careful about whom you ask for that information; otherwise, you could be misled.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Changing situations through the end of the week could lead to some challenging opportunities for those perspicacious Pisceans who know how to make them work to their advantage.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of being both daring and cautious, traits that could make you a research scientist or maybe even a rocket-ship designer.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although your energy level is high, be careful not to commit to too many projects at this time. You’ll do better focusing on just a few tasks rather than spreading yourself too thin.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your heart might be leading you in one direction, but pay attention to your keen Bovine intellect. I’m cautioning you to think things through before making any commitments.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your “serious” Twin has been dominant in your life for quite a while. It’s time now to let that “wilder” half take you out for some good times — perhaps with someone very special.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Career aspects are high for Moon Children who make a good impression. Show people not only what you can already do, but also how you can be more valuable to them in the future.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Things start to brighten for the Lion’s immediate financial future. But be careful to resist the urge to splurge. You need to tuck something away to help you through another tight period.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Having to do too many tasks in too short a time could lower your mood to just above the grumbling level. But if you handle things one at a time, you’ll get through it all soon enough.
