New pediatric helicopter will serve 120-mile radius Smallest patients need most medical equipment

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Flight For Life Colorado and Children’s Hospital Colorado have announced a new addition to their emergency services — a helicopter uniquely designed to transport pediatric patients and newborns within a 120-mile service area of metro Denver.

The helicopter, expected to take flight in 2017, will be based in metro Denver and staffed by nurses and respiratory therapists from flight crews at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

“For several years our newborn team has been traveling substantial

distance by ground to respond to critically ill infants,” said Kathleen Mayer, director of Flight For Life Colorado.

Flight For Life Colorado is the critical care transport service of Centura Health, a network including 17 hospitals, two senior living communities and more than 100 other physician practices in the region. Children’s Hospital Colorado was founded in 1908. Its 16 locations in Colorado — including Highlands Ranch — provide a network of pediatric care.

The new aircraft will allow Children’s pediatric teams to respond more quickly and efficiently, Mayer said.

“The metro-area traffic is getting to be more and more of a factor for us,” she said.

The helicopter, an Airbus H130 T2 leased by Air Methods Corp., also

provides some independence. The pediatric crew was previously sharing a helicopter with teams focused on treating older patients, Mayer said.

However, the needs of pediatrics crews are more than what it could offer.

The other aircraft performs well at high altitudes, Mayer said, particularly during rescues. And it has good horsepower. What it lacks is the space required for equipment used in pediatric and infant care.

Joe Darmofal, director of the flight team, outreach and education at Children’s Colorado, said the pediatric helicopter will have approximately double the interior space and will carry an incubator weighing more than 300 pounds, plus other equipment used in newborn transport.

Pediatric teams would typically serve about 1,000 patients a year, he

said. That number is expected to grow with the new helicopter’s help.

Children’s has brought on a second pediatric team, he said, so two crews will be available 24/7.

“We’re doing quite a bit of training between now and when the helicopter rolls out,” he said.

The training of crews, which typically consist of three to four people, will include night-vision goggle training, safety training, survival training and training of how medical crews interact with pilots during calls.

Also new to the force are two additional ambulances. Flight For Life Colorado expects to transport approximately 4,000 pediatric patients by ground transport annually among the Children’s Colorado Network of Care facilities throughout the Denver metro area.

Local small businesses looking forward to big day

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not everyone crowds into a big-box store on the day after Thanksgiving to find holiday deals.

Some spend their dollars on local businesses, an idea promoted by American Express Small Business Saturday, which has taken place the Saturday after Thanksgiving since 2010.

“It’s become one of our record days,” said Helen Rice, who owns Willow — An Artisan’s Market, a Littleton gift shop featuring handmade goods.

She expects a steady stream of customers all day.

“We stay open until people go home,” Rice said.

Small Business Saturday was started in response to Black Friday, typically considered the nation’s biggest shopping day, and Cyber Monday, the week

afterward, when online retailers offer large discounts.

In addition to Littleton, small businesses in Parker and Castle Rock also are looking forward to the day.

“We have a wide range of folks that all are local to Parker,” said Danielle Ozaluk, visitor center director of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, who said that about 15 local merchants are still working out what exactly they plan to do as a group.

In Castle Rock, the day will be celebrated at the Douglas County Fairgrounds with the third annual Small Business Saturday Holiday Fair & Artisan Show, featuring about 150 small businesses. Many are local, but the event also draws from across the state and even Utah and Wyoming.

“All of our vendors range from small local brick-and-mortar stores to stayat-home artisans,” said Toni Garcia of

his shop, which features many local goods, typically sees about a 20 percent increase in traffic on Small Business Saturday.

“It ends up being one of our better weekend sales days,” he said.

Another local Littleton store is celebrating two events that day — Nov. 26 also is the one-year anniversary of the opening of Zoey’s Place Natural Pet Market. Owner Kelly Kaliszewski said she is working with her vendors to be able to offer discounts, and will have treat bags for dogs that come into the store.

“We get a lot of foot traffic over here,” she said.

Littleton City Councilmember Bill Hopping is hopeful the day will be a boon to local businesses.

“These boutique businesses are really what drives the economy here,” he said.

Entirely Expos, which hosts the event, the largest of its kind in the state.

Many of the biggest sellers on Black Friday are expensive electronics, which few small businesses carry and which can’t offer the kind of discounts that Walmart or Best Buy can. But customers at local shops will find — and buy — items that can’t be found at a big box store, Rice and Ozaluk agreed.

“This is where you’re going to find your really unique gifts,” Ozaluk said.

Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association, believes shoppers should support their local businesses over chain stores or online outlets whenever possible.

“Imagine what the world would be like if everyone just bought everything on the internet,” he said.

Shane George, owner of Workhorse 45 General Store in Littleton, said

MY NAME IS

MIKE POLHEMUS

Castle Rock man will soon be lead pastor at The Rock About me I grew up in the mountains of Colorado and then, in 1988, my family moved to Castle Rock where I graduated from Douglas County High School. I received a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado-Boulder and then began my career in Kansas City as an engineer and concurrently received a Master’s in Engineering from the University of Kansas. My career took a turn when in 2005 I started working in residential land development. From there, I eventually moved with my family to Houston where I became the vice president of a commercial development company. It’s a long story, but in 2014 I resigned from my career in Houston and moved back to Colorado with my wife and three young children to be the executive pastor at The Rock, a church my dad has been the lead pastor of for almost 29 years.

A mountain man I enjoy heading up to the mountains with the family to hike or ski and just enjoy the mountain air and beauty. I also enjoy working out and playing any sport I can still play without getting injured.

A father and a role model I have always looked at my father

as my best friend and a great role model. Coming back to work alongside him is something I never dreamed I would be doing, but have enjoyed it very much ... I initially came in as the executive pastor back in 2014 with no expectation of taking any other role, but obviously God had other plans. I believe my purpose has been not only to serve The Rock, but our community.

As such, I have had the opportunity to partner with both the Town of Castle Rock and with Douglas County on programs that are impacting our community. We are serving a free meal weekly in partnership with Douglas County and the churches of Castle Rock in order to bless everyone in the community.

Taking the lead I have a passion to not only see people grow spiritually, but also to help them tap into their giftings and passions and ultimately begin to operate in what God created them for. I also look forward to igniting our church and other churches in the area to work together at a greater capacity with the local governments, community, businesses, schools and other churches with a purpose of seeing lives and a community transformed. Our desire at The Rock is not necessarily to build a bigger church, but to build bigger people who will then have a greater positive impact in their sphere of influence.

ANXIOUS TIMES

Anxiety in youth can be fueled by stressors tied to modern world

BY ALEX DEWIND | ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

A

s part of a five-part, 3-D exhibit on mental illness she created for her high school senior project, Olivia Stewart crafted hard wire protruding from a red velvet heart wrapped in a cement pair of lungs.

She called it “Anxiety.”

When Stewart was a freshman at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch, her best friend attempted suicide. That crisis triggered a series of mental health challenges that followed Stewart through high school.

“My attendance was ridiculous because of how suffocating high school had become,” said Stewart, an 18-year-old with curly, long brown hair and a contagious smile who graduated from ThunderRidge last May. “There was an immense weight — from grades to friends.”

But anxiety was the constant, a presence that made her breathless, forgetful, too hungry or not hungry at all.

“There’s such a stigma that it is in your head,” she said.

It’s not: Anxiety, an emotion characterized by feelings of worry or unease, is increasingly present in many young people’s lives, say school counselors and mental health experts who work with teens.

According to a 2010 study funded in part by the National Institute of Mental Health, 25.1 percent of 13- to 18-year-olds experienced anxiety at some point in their lives and 5.1 percent of 13- to 18-year-olds experienced severe anxiety, such as panic or social anxiety disorders.

Statistics about whether anxiety in youth is growing are challenging to gather, experts say, because it is difficult to measure the occasional feeling of anxiety compared to a more persistent anxiety or an anxiety disorder, which interfere with daily life functions.

But what is certain, mental health counselors, parents and students say, is that the barrage of social media and technology is making teens more anxious.

“Our world is very anxiety-provoking,” said Lauren Kerstein, a licensed clinical social worker in Greenwood Village. “And high schoolers are being exposed to it in a much different way because of social media

and being able to access information 24/7.”

That, combined with common factors such as schoolwork, friends and sports, can create a challenging environment for many teens.

Heather Golden, a counselor at Castle View High School in Castle Rock, sees about 80 to 100 students a week, many of whom are dealing with a wide spectrum of issues.

“It can be grades, tests — any bump in the road — a conflict with peer or parent,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be anything specific, they just feel very anxious.”

But anxiety doesn’t have to be a debilitating emotion.

Teenagers need to understand that everyone experiences anxiety, mental health experts say. What’s important is learning how to manage it.

“It’s a motivator, it gives us energy and keeps us safe,” said Ali Schroer, a licensed clinical social worker at Children’s Hospital Colorado Therapy Care Center in Highlands

Ranch. “When that alarm bell goes off more than it should, we need to figure out how to quiet it.”

Keeping up with school Grades, in particular, are a source of anxiety for Mountain Vista High School senior Justin Chang. He said he experienced constant stress when high school started because he wasn’t ready for the transition.

“I couldn’t get everything done on time, which discouraged me,” he said.

Chang, who describes himself as a procrastinator, feels anxious sitting and listening to lectures. He also starts to feel panicked when he has too many projects or assignments.

“I try to find ways to avoid it rather than dealing with it, which makes me more anxious,” he said. “It’s a bad cycle.”

An anxiety disorder may be present if the anxiety does not go away, progressively worsens and interferes with daily activities, such as work or school.

WHEN THERE’S TOO MUCH ANXIETY Some teens have more anxiety than others. According to WebMD, an online publisher of health information, if there’s no obvious reason for a teen’s feelings, the anxiety level may be too high.

A few signs of high anxiety: • Worrying too much about everyday events or activities.

• Continually checking whether he or she did something right.

• Feeling so panicky that he or she is unable to function in certain situations.

Anxiety can be reduced with treatment, which starts with seeing a psychiatrist, clinical social worker, psychologist or school counselor.

Treatment can improve many areas of a person’s life, including performance and relationships with friends and family.

‘I can just focus on my breathing’ Yoga classes in schools, private studios help teens learn how to ease stress

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWINDE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

n a recent Friday at 7: 40 a.m., about 20 Castle View High School girls sit on yoga mats in one of the Castle Rock school’s gymnasiums. They each lean over a journal and write in silence. Their teacher, Amber Schweitzer, then shuts off the lights and starts a yoga video on a projector at the front of the room.

A soothing voice with a background noise of ocean waves guides the students through a series of restorative poses, stretches they hold for extended periods of time.

The video intermittently sends positive messages into the gym.

“If the mind wanders away, don’t worry about it. You are normal.”

“Never feel selfish about taking care of yourself, you deserve it.”

The gym is quiet. Students lie on their backs for the majority of class, eyes shut. It’s as if the high school life that surrounds them is nonexistent, for just a little while.

“This is your safe space,” Schweitzer says to the class.

Schweitzer, who has been teaching yoga for four years, said yoga helps students react to stress in a healthier way.

“They are able to reflect more on themselves and become aware of things that trigger them,” she said. “They actually get into yoga and out of their heads.”

Senior Desiree Messer started the class at the beginning of the school year. It keeps her balanced and mindful, she said.

“It’s an hour and 20 minutes that I don’t have to think,” she said. “I can just focus on my breathing.”

Karen Pascoe, owner of Mind, Body, Life Transformation Center in Highlands Ranch, spends the next hour guiding Maddie Ahlstrand, 12, and Taylor Wells, 13, through a series of yoga poses and breathing exercises.

Pascoe intermittently asks the girls basic questions: “How’s school?”

“How do you feel?”

“How does your body feel?”

Wells said she feels stressed from homework, tests and people. That particular day, her legs feel restless.

“I use breathing to relax,” she said.

Pascoe — a licensed psychologist and certified personal trainer and yoga instructor — teaches yoga classes to all ages.

“Stress is stress,” she said. “Once you have the tools to cope with it, it’s a totally different ball game.”

Karen Pascoe leads a yoga class for Taylor Wells, right, 13, and Maddie Ahlstrand, 12, at Mind Body Life Transformation Center in Highlands Ranch. “Anxiety is a super highway of stress,” Pascoe said. “Stress is stress. Once you have the tools to cope with it, it’s a totally different ballgame.”

Yoga, she said, teaches students they are capable of performing a physical challenge, such as a balancing pose, while staying calm. The stretching poses help students relieve tension in the body created by such factors as carrying a backpack, sitting at a desk or playing sports.

“The brain reads stress in the body as actual stress in the mind,” Pascoe said.

Yoga helps students feel empowered and in control over their stress or anxiety, Pascoe said. It’s a way for them to shut down and a healthier way to escape.

Wells agrees.

“Right after school, I feel stressed,” she said. “I come out of yoga feeling relaxed and happy.”

into college — a stressor that retired Mountain Vista High School counselor Cathy Mumper saw all too often.

“There is high academic pressure,” said Mumper, who retired in 2011 after 15 years as a counselor and 31 years in education. “There’s fear of the whole academic piece and of letting parents down.”

Desiree Messer, an athletic and well-spoken senior at Castle View High School, worries about life after high school to the extent that it is difficult for her to focus on the present.

“I’m more scared of what my schooling will do for my future than of what it is now,” she said. “I worry about where school is leading me and what I will do.”

Messer was on the school’s dance team for three years. She quit the sport because it added unneeded stress, she said. She has applied to six out-of-state colleges.

Students, Mumper said, have an expectation they need to be perfect.

Amber Schweitzer, a teacher at Castle View High School, agreed.

“We see test anxiety — feeling like they aren’t prepared or good enough,” she said.

Schweitzer, who teaches yoga and health classes at Castle View, said she sees anxiety stem from teenage life in general.

“In every one of my classes,” she said, “I have kids who are afraid to speak to the class because they are afraid of being judged.”

The effects of social media A new trigger of anxiety in youth — but among the biggest, research shows — is social media.

Messer has felt the pressure. She feels like she has to have weekend plans or else she is missing out because of posts she reads from friends and schoolmates.

“It almost makes me feel guilty for not being social all the time,” she said. “I think, `What am I going to do? How am I going to stay busy?’ ” According to two 2015 studies conducted by Pew Research Center, 92 percent of teens go online daily, 24 percent go online almost constantly and 90 percent use social media, a significantly higher number than the 12 percent who used social media in 2005.

The constant flow of information can be distressing and challenging, Pew reported in a 2015 study on the relationship between digital technology uses and psychological stress.

“There are more possibilities for interruptions and distractions,” the study said. “It is easier to track what friends, frenemies and foes are doing and to monitor raises (sic) and falls in status on a near-constant basis.”

A Highlands Ranch parent, who wanted her name withheld for privacy reasons, witnessed the effect of social media on her 15-year-old son.

STINKIN’ THINKIN A significant anxiety trigger among high school students is what licensed clinical social worker Allie Schroer calls “stinkin’ thinkin,” otherwise known as cognitive distortions, which are inaccurate thoughts that reinforce

negative thinking or emotion.

For example, a student who fails a test thinks he or she will fail the next one. Or a student walks past a crowd and assumes everyone is talking about him or her.

A student posted a negative message about her son on Twitter, who then saw it get more than 40 likes.

“It was like stabbing him over and over in the gut,” his mother said.

There’s a “compare-and-despair” factor induced by scanning through photos and posts of other peoples’ lives, the website Anxiety.org reports. There’s also “fear of missing out” when a social media user sees pictures of a party or event to which he or she was not invited.

Taylor Wells, an eighth-grader at Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch who is active on Snapchat and Instagram, said the social media sites often do spur those negative reactions.

“It causes jealousy,” she said, “not feeling pretty enough.”

As mental health experts on Anxiety.org said: “Social media has become an anxiety-provoking factor.”

“If they don’t get the amount of likes, they take it personally,” agreed Schroer, the Children’s Hospital social worker who works with children and teens ages 3 to 18.

“All of these internal messages go rampant.”

Coping with anxiety Because anxiety is a constant in life, mental health experts say, the key to managing it successfully is knowing the triggers and learning coping skills.

A critical part of dealing with the emotion, Mumper said, is recogniz-

“If you don’t realize it,” Schroer said of cognitive distortions, “it can become true to you.”

Schroer works at Children’s Hospital Colorado Therapy Care Center in Highlands Ranch.

ing that it is there.

“It takes courage to acknowledge feelings,” she said.

Kerstein said it is important for teenagers to recognize they have control over their emotions.

“We don’t have control over a lot of the environmental factors but we do have control over emotions,” she said. “Once a person believes that — as painful as it is — they can begin to take steps towards making a difference.”

That difference could be in simply talking to someone about a feeling. A confidant can come in many forms — a teacher, a friend, a school counselor, a family member.

“It’s very easy to isolate — to think you’re the only one and believe that nothing will change,” Kerstein said.

“But there are people out there who can help that student feel comfortable in their own skin.”

That was the case for Olivia Stewart.

“You have to acknowledge a thought or emotion and face it — either on your own or by talking to another person,” she said. “If you push it back, it becomes an overwhelming weight.”

Schroer encourages a teen to identify the triggers of his or her anxiety, which may be studying for a test, planning for prom, leaving for college or engaging in a social interaction.

“Anxiety is predictable,” Schroer explained. “If you know the trig-

gers, you can plan for them.”

She also encourages a student struggling with anxiety to acknowledge one good thing about himself or herself in moments of heightened stress because, she said, teens have the most criticism of themselves.

Another way to alleviate anxiety is to connect interpersonally, which could mean joining a club or starting a sport.

Chang finds peace in practicing yoga and swimming. He plays the ukulele on study breaks rather than picking up his phone or checking social media, which he said tend to add to his procrastination.

“When I start feeling anxious,” he said, “it helps to take deep breaths and have something to focus on — it keeps my mind distracted.”

Above all, it’s important for teenagers to know they are not alone in dealing with anxiety.

“We need to find ways to make it through,” Schroer said, “rather than finding ways to make it go away.”

For Stewart, making it through included producing her senior project, which she viewed as a way to educate people on mental illness. Besides anxiety, the other pieces of the installation depicted self-harm, depression, eating disorders and suicide. Stewart said she experienced all of those, except suicide.

Stewart still struggles with anxiety and depression, though no one would know from her calm and easygoing demeanor. She decided to postpone college for a year to take care of her mental health.

These days, Stewart is doing data entry for her mother’s business and searching for a second job.

She’s galvanized by politics and has been attending Trump rallies in downtown Denver. She sees herself being involved in many outreach organizations in her future.

With all that she’s been through, Stewart knows she wants to someday help people who have walked in her shoes.

“It’s created a strength,” she said, “and it’s created an insight that I can use to help other people.”

Former coroner to join board of commissioners

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Lora Thomas, former coroner of Douglas County, will join the three-person board of county commissioners.

Thomas will be replacing term-limited Jill Repella in District 3.

“I’m really grateful that the citizens of Douglas County trust me to make good decisions for their future,” said Thomas, a Highlands Ranch resident who will be sworn in for her first term in January. “This really is about the future of Douglas County.”

District 3 is largely made up of Highlands Ranch. However, commissioners in Douglas County are elected “at-large,” meaning all county voters can weigh in on each district.

With 66.4 percent of the vote, Thomas defeated Democratic opponent Erica Bullock-Jones.

Thomas, 60, is a third-generation Coloradan who grew up in Denver.

She has lived in Douglas County for 25 years.

Thomas was the Douglas County coroner from 2011-15. Before that, she attained the rank of major in the Colorado State Patrol, where she served for 26 years.

Thomas is the president of A Night With the Coroner, a nonprofit organization for suicide-prevention awareness.

As county commissioner, Thomas will focus on the amount and structure of taxes in Douglas County. She also plans to zero in on growth, traffic congestion and water. “I really am about maintaining the character of Douglas County,” Thomas said.

Thomas Bullock-Jones and her husband moved to Denver in 2010 and Highlands Ranch in 2013.

She’s now the program administrator of business development at Holland & Hart LLP, a Colorado-based law firm in downtown Denver.

“Congratulations to Lora Thomas on her win,” Bullock-Jones said. “I am deeply grateful to my supporters, donors and volunteers for their hard work, diligence and devotion to our campaign. It was truly a humbling experience to receive that outpouring of unconditional support. I remain dedicated to the success of Douglas County and plan to continue to be active in promoting civic causes.”

Partridge to continue representing county’s District 2

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Republican incumbent Roger Partridge is set to embark on his second term as the Douglas County commissioner for District 2.

With 68.5 percent of the vote, he defeated Democrat Nathaniel Kaiman in the general election Nov. 8.

“It’s a privilege and honor to serve as a commissioner for Douglas County and all the municipalities, and I’m grateful for the opportunity,” said Partridge, a Sedalia resident who will be sworn in for another four-year term in January.

“The first I’ll say is give glory to God. Second, give thanks to all those who got me on the ballot. And third, a big thanks for all those who voted.”

Partridge is the 2016 vice chair of the board of commissioners. His district encompasses Castle Rock, Castle Pines and nearby areas.

Prior to serving as county commissioner, Partridge served as a Douglas County planning commissioner and spent three years as the beef superintendent for the Douglas County 4-H Program.

According to his biography on Douglas County’s website, Partridge’s top priorities as county commissioner include working toward a viable and renewable

Winners ready to take office, get to work Castle Rock voters return one incumbent and elect three new faces to town council

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Teal

Just before 8:30 p.m. on Election Night, Castle Rock Town Councilmember George Teal quickly hung up the phone.

Something big had just happened for the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Teal said. It was about to get loud, and he had to go.

The District 6 representative was staked out at the Tech Center Double Tree Hotel with fellow Colorado Republicans.

He wasn’t just watching Trump take an early lead in the presidential race. Teal was also enjoying a large lead in his own campaign to retain a position on the town council.

His edge over opponent Jimmy Graham was strong. Teal had secured 54.5 percent of the 3,019 votes cast compared to Graham’s 45.4 percent.

But he didn’t want to declare victory just yet. Municipal races, he said, are too unpredictable. However, come Nov. 9, he held 52.8 percent of the 3,850 votes in his district.

District 1 candidate Jess Loban also held off on claiming a win, despite a lead late that Election Night that had him garnering 55.6 percent of 2,545 votes cast. Tom Jeanette, Loban’s challenger, followed at 44.3 percent.

“It’s right around where we had hoped for,” Loban

Loban

Bower

Townsend

said of the lead. “Our goal was 10 percent.”

He held that margin until the end. By Nov. 9, Loban had 55.8 percent of 3,473 votes.

Loban has lived in the district for seven years and is a native Coloradan. That encouraged him to run. The crux of his candidacy, however, was his children. The father of four wanted a say in their future, he said.

That future includes a town with more fresh water shares and less dependency on aquifers. It also means local schools with access to coursework in trades like plumbing and electrician work. He wants students to graduate with apprenticeships and have alternatives to a traditional four-year higher education.

He didn’t waste time either — he has already been in touch with schools.

“I’m just really excited to get started,” he said, “and looking forward to Dec. 6.”

New councilmembers are sworn in at the Dec. 6 organizational meeting, when the council also votes on the next mayor and mayor pro tem.

The winner in the four-way District 4 race, Jason Bower, declined to comment the night of elections, saying he was busy putting his children to bed. By 9 p.m. that night, Bower led with 49.3 percent of 2,822 votes. He said he was grateful for those results.

By the next morning, Bower had 48.4 percent of 3,765 votes cast. The next closest candidate was Nick Lucey with 27 percent. Michael Angell earned 17.3 percent and Steve Maruska 7.1 percent.

And in District 2, the only person to file was write-in candidate James Townsend, an eight-year resident of Castle Rock who works as a family law attorney. He finished with 268 votes. In a previous interview, Townsend said he hoped to promote responsible growth in Castle Rock.

Some of those who came up short in the election weighed in on the results.

Graham said his team was proud of the campaign it ran, despite the disappointing outcome.

“We trust the process,” he said, “and we respect the people’s vote.”

All in all, campaigning brought him closer to his town and local government, he said. He’ll continue seeking ways to be involved.

Jeanette believed he trailed by approximately 10 percent for several reasons, one being name recognition. Loban has run, although unsuccessfully, for the state Senate before.

And, Jeanette said, partisanship played a role — even though it’s a nonpartisan race.

“I had received several inquires of my party affiliation,” he said.

Jeanette changed from Republican, a status he held for more than 40 years, to unaffiliated during his candidacy for the town council. He believed that had an impact on voters.

For the town as a whole, he hopes council will consider the high-cost projects to come, he said, such as transportation and infrastructure needs. For his district, he hopes council works toward their desire for continued quality of life — good schools, safe neighborhoods and increases in property values.

Race remains tight for state board of education seat Democrat pulls slightly ahead in quest for CD6 post STAFF REPORT

The race for the state board of education’s Congressional District 6 seat was too close to call six days after the election.

Democrat Rebecca McClellan had

50.1 percent of the vote to Republican Debora Scheffel’s 49.9 percent.

McClellan, a former Centennial City Council member, trailed by a slim margin after Election Night, Nov. 8, but took a narrow lead after further vote counting by the end of last week in her race against incumbent Scheffel, of Parker. With ballots still being counted, McClellan had a 959-vote lead out of 355,009 votes tallied.

“This is a diverse district, where a broad spectrum of perspectives are represented. A recount is possible

depending on the results this week,” McClellan said in a news release Nov. 14. “I’m hoping we’ll have a winning result for my campaign, but regardless of what happens, we must ensure every child in Colorado has access to a high-quality public education that ensures a bright future for them and our state.”

The margin as it stood the morning of Nov. 14 was just outside the threshold for an automatic recount, according to an Arapahoe County spokeswoman.

“The State Board of Education race, 6th CD seat, is indeed a close race,” Scheffel said in an emailed statement.

“We are working hard to be sure every voter’s ballot is counted. Our grassroots team is working to defeat out-of-state special interests who want to take control of Colorado’s education system.”

The district includes Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, most of Littleton, Brighton and parts of Thornton.

Town to keep excess tax revenue

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Voters have decided that Castle Rock will not refund its 2015 tax revenue surplus to residents.

Instead, the town will keep the $714,580 to pay for town projects and expenses related to police, fire and emergency medical and transportation needs.

A ballot question in the Nov. 8 General Election asked Castle Rock voters if the town should keep the excess tax

revenue collected during 2015. Nearly 70 percent of voters said yes.

The option was for the town to keep the money or refund the surplus to taxpayers through a water bill credit.

Mayor Paul Donahue said the majority of town councilmembers had no opinion on the matter, and were comfortabe leaving it up to the voters.

“Either way it went, I was happy,” he said.

A Trump presidency: What local residents are saying STAFF REPORT

Joy Johnson, who has lived in Castle Rock for five years, expressed dismay when asked what a Donald Trump presidency means to her.

“Not a very positive one, being African American,” she said Nov. 10, two days after the general election.

Johnson fears racial tensions will be spurred on by a Trump presidency. Living in an area that is predominately white, she said, she wonders if she and her children will no longer feel comfortable in their own skin.

As her young daughter played nearby, Johnson said she worries most of all for her children — “because she doesn’t understand.”

While Democrat Hillary Clinton narrowly won Colorado, boosted by big numbers in Denver, Boulder and Aurora, Trump was the choice by a wide margin in the state’s traditional Republican strongholds, like Douglas, Elbert and El Paso counties.

Brandon Astrauskas of Parker looked for the positives in a Trump presidency.

“I think it’s something new, being that he’s not an ex-politician,” he said. “That I’m optimistic about.”

A Trump presidency is nervewracking but exciting at the same time, Astrauskas said.

Paula Clark of Castle Rock agreed:

Shining bright throughout the decades Castle Rock’s starlighting tradition is rich in history

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Some might say the star that sits atop “the rock” in Castle Rock has seen it all.

Since 1936, the star has watched Castle Rock grow from a community of roughly 500 to a town of more than 60,000 people. And, illuminated or not, the structure has watched history unfold from its perch.

The star saw the rise and fall of historic town structures, such as the original courthouse building.

It weathered the Great Depression.

When the end of World War II was announced, the fire department rang its siren for an hour straight, and off-and-on throughout the night.

Meanwhile, the star looked down as residents celebrated in the streets. It was temporarily replaced with a “V” for “victory.”

The end to the war was a reincarnation of sorts for the star. Castle Rock didn’t light it at all from 1942-44 because of energy restrictions. Normally, mention of the Starlighting — the town’s annual kickoff to the holiday season — appeared in the paper, said Shaun Boyd, an archivist with the Douglas County History Research Center. But not during that time.

“They just didn’t say anything about it at all,” she said.

Fun facts about the star • In 1963, the town delayed the Starlighting by a couple weeks out of respect for President John. F. Kennedy’s death.

• It stood fast as floodwaters surged during the flood of 1965 and engulfed the livelihood of those below.

• During the energy crisis of the 1970s, the star did its part by only shining from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

• It remained lit for several weeks following 9/11 to honor the lives lost.

And as hikers come each season to walk the landmark’s trails, it patiently waits for them to reach the top.

There wasn’t always a ceremony paired with the annual Starlighting, Boyd said. That didn’t start until 1965.

The town used to turn on the star without any pomp and circumstance on Dec. 1 each year.

Some of the first ceremonies brought townsfolk together for a massed-choir march along Wilcox Street and performances by the local marching band.

Today, there’s hot chocolate, vendors and a fireworks show.

Some ups and downs Aside from historical moments, the star’s personal history is one marked with ups and downs.

It has survived fits of vandalism.

The first mention of vandalism was in 1940, Boyd said. Then in 1955, the town council appealed to local youngsters to stop shooting out the bulbs.

“Anyone caught molesting the star will be prosecuted,” a newspaper article read.

In 1962, authorities finally arrested six teens who were said to be more afraid of telling their parents than of the $12.50 fine they received.

Boyd has read every article she can find that local newspapers wrote between 1936, the year the star was constructed, and 1975.

The star was built in part to compete with Palmer Lake, Boyd said, which had gained some notoriety from its Starlighting tradition. Castle Rock wanted the same tourism pull.

“People wanted it to be something visible that Castle Rock would become known for,” Boyd said.

Today, both towns continue the tradition.

Palmer Lake celebrated the 80th anniversary of its Starlighting tradition last year. The community began its tradition in 1935 when, according to the Palmer Lake Historical Society website, B.E. Jack envisioned a star on Sundance Mountain that would be noticeable for miles.

Castle Rock’s version also grew into a signature event, Boyd said, that helps celebrate the past, present and the future.

“These kinds of events,” she said, “pull people together to form communities.”

Even adversity contains fertile soil for bumper crop of gratitude

n last week’s column we revisited the attitude of gratitude and just how important it is to be sincerely appreciative for all of our blessings, successes and people in our lives. And to show our appreciation by recognizing and giving thanks for all the people who have impacted our lives.

Showing gratitude in times of success or when receiving help is easy. We are usually riding the wave of achievement, happiness, or relief and we get caught up in thanking everyone around us. Many times you will hear people thanking God, or see people pointing to the sky to recognize God and show their gratitude while giving credit where credit belongs. We see this every week

in sports when someone scores a touchdown, hits a home run, or sinks a 50-foot putt.

Now what about the title of this column and maybe a harder topic, like finding the attitude of gratitude during times of trouble and adversity? Again, showing gratitude when things are going really well is much easier for most of us than it is to be appreciative and giving thanks when things are not quite going our way.

Many times we feel frustrated and we only see the trouble immediately in front of us.

And when this happens our defense mechanisms kick into gear, and we have blinders on when it comes to the good that can possibly come from the trouble and adversity

we are facing. And when this happens it can diminish our ability to show appreciation and compromise our attitude of gratitude.

Let me share a quick story with you.

When I was a young 5-year-old boy my father had died. My mom remarried a couple of years later, however that marriage ended in divorce. My mom remarried again and unfortunately her husband died a couple of years later as well. Looking around at all of my other friends who still had their biological dad in their lives I often found myself angry and resentful.

Very wrong attitude for sure, but I was SEE NORTON, P15

Trump used system to advantage Throughout this improbable election season, a rising chorus was heard asking, why do we never seem to be able to muster a truly viable third-party candidate? I submit that Trump actually was that third party candidate, ensconced within the technical trappings of running as a Republican, with all the benefits and advantages ascribed to main-party contenders. No alternative-party candidate in modern times has ever won a single electoral vote (the last successful one being Lincoln). Even Ross Perot, who in 1992 created the short-lived Reform Party and stunned the political establishment with 19 percent of the popular vote, came up with zero electoral votes.

Early on, numerous Republican luminaries flatly stated that Trump was not a Republican. This was based on their opinion that many of his espoused policies and positions differed from Republican orthodoxy, that he was a registered Democrat for seven years in the early 2000s, on his refusal to defer to Republican party leadership and on his shockingly impolite, gloves-off pounding of establishment Republicans running against him, as well as party icons like George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, etc.

This populist wolf successfully hijacked the Republican sheep’s clothing as a necessary formality, in order to avoid the sure defeat of trying to create an entirely new party structure while concomitantly capturing the presidency. Another benefit of not pursuing the presidency via a third party, is that in the general election he had to face only one other major party candidate, not two as Perot did. He trounced all his traditional Republican challengers in the nomination process, thereby clearing them from the general election field entirely. He accurately gauged the mood of the electorate in the states he needed to win. And despite being outspent and out ground-gamed heavily, he captured the prize.

As a patriot, I sincerely hope that his skill at winning the presidency as an insurgent candidate, will be matched by his skill in executing the duties of the office.

Outcome of presidential election is cause for uncertainty in markets

O

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Patricia Kummer

n Nov. 8, Donald Trump became the presidentelect. This sent the futures market into deep decline in the overnight hours.

However, after his acceptance speech, markets worldwide started to calm down and recovered nicely as of this writing.

While the world digests the news, we expect markets to be volatile, as there remains uncertainty around what the new agenda for the White House will look like, even though for the moment, the markets appear to be favoring the change.

This includes rallies initially in investments that will benefit from health-care reform, infrastructure improvement and defense expansion, among others.

Those areas where trade may be affected will be challenging, such as Emerging Markets.

Since 1928, the Standard & Poor’s 500 — a widely watched benchmark of U.S. large-cap companies — has dropped in presidential election years that don’t include an incumbent seeking reelection. While we saw the year relatively flat and the month of October negative, this appears to be in line with history so far this year.

Most analysts agree, we are not headed into recession and the general trend of the markets could very well continue, barring extreme cases such as terrorism or total misses of hitting economic growth targets for China. Recently the stock market has been in limbo or perhaps a waiting game, and there has not been much movement in either direction.

young and it didn’t seem right or fair.

But two things happened along the way. I got to spend so much quality time with my grandfather, whom I regarded as the greatest man alive.

And although I was unsure of what I was missing by not technically having a dad, I had a grandfather who loved me and was more of a dad than I could have imagined or hoped for. The second thing that happened occurred in my early 20s. I was working as a youth group director and one of the kids coming to youth group seemed troubled and acted like a bit of a loner. After speaking with her, she shared with me that she had lost her father, her mom remarried, got divorced, remarried again, and got divorced again. In an instant I realized that the troubles and adversity that I had faced was just a way of preparing me for this very moment.

It would have been so easy to say something like, “I think I know how you feel.” And that may have shown sympathy and concern, but by having the ability to say, “I know exactly how you feel because I lived the same story,” was so very powerful. I still remember the feeling of gratitude

and appreciation that I had because I was able to relate and help someone else find their own attitude of gratitude during their time of trouble and adversity.

It is not a matter of “if ” challenges and difficult situations find us, it’s really only a matter of “when” they find us. And it is during these times that if we can look for the “good” in the mountains of what appears to be the “bad” piling up around us and maintain our attitude of gratitude, it is there that we will be able to see the opportunities, learning moments and teaching moments that can bring us back to joy and happiness.

How about you? Is there something in front of you right now that is causing you anxiety, stress, trouble or grief ? If so, I would love to hear all about how you still recognize the “good” and find the ability to give thanks even in the midst of your challenges at gotnorton@gmail.com.

And when we can find gratitude in adversity it really will be a better than good week.

caused some angst for about half of the population when their candidate is not elected.

Therefore, markets will react to the emotional aspect, if only temporarily.

We are also at the tail end of earnings season and anticipating a possible interest rate hike in December. This, along with the uncertainty that comes with a new president, may be unsettling for many investors.

In reality, the markets will predict the health of the economy over longer periods of time once the emotional reactions settle down.

Meanwhile, investors wait to hear what will come out of any new policies. There are some positive and negative aspects at first glance. Here is an outlook from Invesco’s chief strategist Robert Waldner Jr., CFA.

• Fiscal easing may be a byproduct of Trump’s promise to lower corporate and individual tax rates. This could potentially boost growth in the U.S. and lead to better corporate profits.

• Deregulation has been a touted in the campaign. This will likely start with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act along with reduced regulation in the energy sector and in the Dodd-Frank Act. • Trump focused on an antitrade message and he will have the power to implement tariffs and change trade deals. The total impact here is unknown but could be a positive for better trade deals and more corporate growth in the U.S., but could also pull down foreign investments.

Of course, I would lose Jennifer.

Dylan Thomas.

On Nov. 3, 1953, Thomas spent most of the day in bed drinking in a New York City hotel. He went out drinking that evening, returned to his hotel, and then left at 2 a.m., to drink some more.

He later said, “I had 18 straight whiskeys. I think that’s the record,” although the bartender disputed it.

He drank for the next few days, and died at noon on Nov. 9.

The list of painters who drank themselves to death would fill out this column.

The country is askew. Or I am. I am not in tune. That would be a good excuse.

But a good excuse is not a good reason.

Not a particle, not a shred.

The little green monkeys would come in and take me away from America.

Instead, by 8 o’clock this morning, this had been started.

I opened a box of new paints and new brushes.

I turned up the volume on Richard Ray’s morning program on KVOD. For a few moments in the middle of the night, I felt meaningless.

I heard fireworks that woke me, and I knew exactly what that meant.

People I have nothing in common with were celebrating the election of someone I have nothing in common with.

Next to me, Smitty, who is losing his hearing, didn’t wake.

I looked across the room, and saw a portrait I’d done of my girlfriend. And smiled.

KUMMER: Expect stock values to fluctuate as President Trump implements policies FROM PAGE 15

• Stronger growth could push interest rates higher and increase the strength of the U.S. dollar, which could fuel inflation.

While we don’t yet know the make-up of Trump’s advisers or the Cabinet, it is safe to say we will be seeing some changes. Hopefully those changes equal economic growth in the long run. We would expect stock values to fluctuate, sometimes significantly, as new policies are implemented. There could also be pressure on bond prices as interest rates rise.

It has never been more important to make sure you are positioned with your portfolio for the expected decline in fixed-income instruments along with a long-term outlook for your equity positions.

Keep in mind, it is important for

investors to stay focused on their strategy. It could be just as dangerous to miss an opportunity as it is to miss a market correction.

In the larger scheme of things, economic prosperity is what investors want, and the economy looks to be on a trend toward expected growth.

Rock Ridge Elementary students honor veterans

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At Rock Ridge Elementary School in Castle Rock, Veterans Day was celebrated with enthusiasm.

The school choir played the national anthem and students wore red, white and blue. Local Cub Scouts from Troop 262 led the Pledge of Allegiance and students and parents cheered as veterans were called to the front of the school auditorium to be recognized.

“Today, in big cities and small towns all across the country there will be ceremonies around flag

poles and parades down main streets to express our gratitude, to show our appreciation to the men and women who serve so we can live free,” Rock Ridge Principal Peter Mosby said. “So here at Rock Ridge, we are taking time to honor our local veterans in our own special way.”

The Rock Ridge community also honored those who couldn’t be there.

“We have posters that were made by students that represent different individuals who couldn’t be here, some grandparents or even some parents who are overseas right now serving,” Mosby said.

Rock Ridge Elementary School in Castle Rock celebrates Veteran’s Day Nov. 11.

A cannon, a castle, a commemoration Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation honors veterans

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Vern Hammond sat in the front row and quietly watched the scene around him.

People were eating bakery goods and mingling before the morning’s Veterans Day commemoration outside “The Castle” on Cherokee Ranch in Douglas County.

Hammond, a ball turret gunner in World War II, cozied up in his wheelchair against the crisp air. Next to him was his daughter and caretaker, Vernita Lewis.

They came for the Nov. 11 ceremony that honored veterans like him and to help the Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation dedicate a pre-WWI canon that will permanently sit in front of the estate’s historic mansion, commonly referred to as “The Castle.”

The foundation wanted to honor the sacrifice of time and the lives lost through military service.

“We recognize the devotion of the military,” Executive Director James Holmes said.

For those who don’t know, a ball turret gunner is a type of machine gunner who fought from the belly of B-17 aircrafts during the war.

The ball turret was a glass sphere protruding from the bottom of the plane. Small men curled up inside and fired weaponry at the enemy below.

About 40 people attended the ceremony that included a presentation of colors from Douglas County’s Honor Guard, which also sang the

U.S. Navy veteran Bob Easterly, of Castle Rock, came with Hammond and Lewis. He repeatedly told those who thanked him that it was an honor to serve.

“There’s a special connection with every man and woman who has served and defended this country,” he said.

Dear Douglas County Election Workers: As we wrap up the 2016 general election, I’d like to take a moment to express my thanks and give recognition to the many citizens of Douglas County who worked side by side with elections staff.

Together you provided voters with the opportunity to exercise their most fundamental privilege. From the implementation of the election itself, to processing more than 190,000 ballots and tabulating the results, it was your hard work and dedication that ultimately made the elections process a success.

During the 2016 general election, the election workforce grew from fewer than 11 members of staff to 375, including staff and workers, all who spent many hours preparing and training for the elections process, in their dedication to preserving the integrity of this democratic process. Each member of the elections team received specific training related to their role. These civic minded citizens became our mail ballot processing team and were caretakers of the ballots they handled from beginning to end, ensuring the accuracy of each vote cast.

We simply could not hold an election without our outstanding team of citizens. The people who do so exemplify the spirit of public service and epitomize the phrase “Champions of Democracy.”

As the County’s chief elections officer, please accept my most sincere thanks.

Respectfully yours, Merlin Klotz Douglas County Clerk and Recorder

or people like Highlands Ranch resident Devyn St. Aubin, a traditional gym setting or running program doesn’t work.

Two years ago, she stumbled across a The Ballet Physique — a ballet barre studio in Lone Tree — and she hasn’t looked back.

“I have bad knees, so running is out of the question for me,” said St. Aubin, 26. “I needed to find a workout that would hit all my areas.”

And that’s what the workout that focuses on small movements does.

“It doesn’t look intense, but it builds a really prominent burn in your muscles that you’re not going to get from some of the other classes out there,” said Ballet Physique owner Kristen Zurek.

From ballet barre in Highlands Ranch to pole dancing in Arvada to UFC fighting in Westminster, metro-area residents are looking for alternative ways to stay in shape.

Zurek, who has a professional dance background, discovered the ballet barre form of fitness while studying in New York City.

When she moved to Colorado in 2008, the workout had yet to make it to Colorado. So Zurek started a studio from scratch and opened in downtown Littleton in 2010. She opened her second studio in Lone Tree in 2014.

Over the years, the workout has become more popular throughout the Front Range.

“When I came here, I couldn’t find a studio,” Zurek said, “and now there 50 of them.”

But although “ballet” is in the name, Zurek noted that the workout is not ballet. The low-impact workout uses the ballet bar to help stabilize and leverage body weight.

It’s designed to sculpt and tone long, lean danceresque muscles.

Students at The Ballet Physique run the full spectrum, from teenagers who are trying to stay fit to 75-year-old women.

“The nature of the workout appeals to many parts of the population because everyone wants to have strong and sculpted muscles,” Zurek said. “Mostly women between the ages of 30 and 60 — not dancers and not athletes.

A lot of them have had kids and are just ready to get back into shape.”

The philosophy behind it is that it’s a workout for everybody, no matter your fitness level, your age, weight or whatever you’ve done in the past.

Jenna McNamar, owner of Rockstar Pole Fitness

Pole dancing gaining steam Another dance form that is growing in the workout world is pole dancing. Colorado now has 12 pole dance fitness studios, with the majority located in Denver, Colorado Springs and Boulder. Two are in the Denver metro area: Vertical Academy Workout in Highlands Ranch and Rockstar Pole Fitness in Arvada.

“The philosophy behind it is that it’s a workout for everybody, no matter your fitness level, your age, weight or whatever you’ve done in the past,” said Jenna McNamar, owner of Rockstar Pole Fitness, which opened two years ago in Olde Town Arvada.

McNamar starting practicing pole

fitness 10 years ago and has been teaching it for eight years.

“When I first started, people wouldn’t talk about it because people relate it to exotic dancing,” she said.

“It still is and we at Rockstar want to have a huge part in that, too, because that’s where it came from. But I think when people realize the strength it takes to do this stuff — it is hard and it is challenging and I think that’s why it grows.”

Madeline Haenel, 42, had been looking for a workout routine she could stick with for a while. After attending pole class for the first time two months ago, she found it.

at the Outlets at Castle Rock.

The 11th Annual Tree Lighting Concert, a free event at the shopping center on Nov. 12, headlined Brian Justin Crum and was hosted by AJ Lehrman, who also performed. The concert began at 5 p.m., and led up to the lighting of a Christmas tree decked with more than 8,000 bulbs.

Crum is best known for his appearance on the 11th season of America’s Got Talent. He has also starred in Broadway shows such as “Grease” and “Wicked.” Lehrman is an 18-year-old singer/songwriter who has toured with British pop group S Club 7 and a cappella group Pentatonix.

The 55-foot white fir Christmas tree came from the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, as a part of a manicuring process of the forest, according to a news release. The tree was replaced with the planting of 10 budding trees.

Expo gives eighth-graders ideas about their careers Students from across the Douglas County School District meet with business and community leaders

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eighth-grader Liz Reifsteck and other students from Parker Core Knowledge Charter School gathered around the High Impact booth to watch as data was transformed into a computer-animated model of an accident scene.

“We try and take digital information make stories from it,” said forensic artist Lawrence Pasion of visual media company that creates interactive animations for court cases. “Our background and the tools that we use are all of the same things that are used to make video games and animations, so seeing those things people are curious about it.”

Reifsteck came away impressed.

“It was really cool — all the technology and animation that goes into it,” she said.

More than 5,300 eighth-grade students from 21 Douglas County School District middle schools and charter schools attended the district’s Career Expo on Nov. 9 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock.

The expo offered a look at careers from technology to the military and health care. More than 75 employers, including Charles Schwab, Comcast, Lockheed Martin, Kaiser Permanente and Nationwide Insurance, brought repesentatives to speak with students and answer questions about how to get involved in various fields.

“Our Kaiser Permanente health professionals enjoy engaging eighth-graders early in their career exploration to help guide them in choosing science, math and technology classes that will prepare them for health care careers,” said Mary Riebe, community and academic relations consultant in a news release.

Patrick Mancuso of North Star Academy in Parker said the event gave him ideas for a career.

“It’s really cool to see all the businesses come and pitch their information … and doing what they enjoy,” he said.

Alisha Pravasi, who attends Platte River Academy in Highlands Ranch, said she was interested in technology and design.

“We’ve seen a lot of great graphic design and animation stuff,” Pravasi said.

Said Maddie Waite, a Parker Core knowledge student: “It’s really nice to go to the different stations and learn about the different careers.”

Asha Kakuda, of Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch, said she was interested in aerospace technology and spoke with representatives from the different military branches as well as Lockheed Martin.

“I have a better perspective of what I want to do now,” Kakuda said. “I talked to a lot of people. I talked to the military people and it helped me gain a better understanding of my options for careers.

It gave me a little booster.”

Students learn about working at the Douglas County Coroner’s Office.

Alisha Pravasi and Ashley Whisler of Platte River Academy said they were interested in technology careers.

Filming the ride of a cowboy’s life Castle Rock man featured in rodeo documentary

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Steven Wiersma jumped on a bull for the first time when he was 24 years old.

“First time I got on I was hooked,” the Castle Rock man said. “I mean hooked.”

Wiersma describes the experience as chaotic and fast.

“It’s weird to be on top of a moving animal that you have no idea where they’re going and what they’re doing,” he said.

It’s good to be small. The bulls weigh anywhere from 1,100 to 2,000 pounds.

Most bull riders weigh around 150

“First time I got on I was hooked, I mean hooked.”

Steven Wiersma, of Castle Rock, began bull riding when he was 24. Wiersma, now 31, was recently featured in a documentary that won its category of the 2016 Kansas City Filmfest.

pounds. Being light means you can shift your weight more easily and quickly, Wiersma said. You need that adaptability.

“Even if you got on the same bull four times in a row, it’s going to be different,” he said.

That’s what kept him in the sport for the six summers he toured around the state competing in rodeos. He was doing around 30 rodeos each season.

Wiersma’s favorite part is the challenge in it.

“You’ve conquered a beast,” he said.

“It’s the greatest feeling in the world.”

Riding for a full eight seconds is the ultimate accomplishment.

On July 25, 2015, Wiersma, 31, was the only man to achieve that feat during the Arapahoe County Fair. It caught the eye of Sean Webley, who was in Denver doing research for a film project.

The Florida-based filmmaker approached Wiersma after the rodeo.

Webley thought there might be a story there. For the next three weeks, he shot footage of Wiersma bull riding at various rodeos.

Wiersma intrigued Webley first because he was older than most other competitors, he said, but it was also in his approach to the sport. Most guys seemed to challenge the bull, Webley said, but Wiersma challenged himself.

For a while, Webley said, he didn’t know what to do with the film. Eventually he edited footage from one of the rodeos into a five-minute documentary. Still, he said, he wasn’t sure of how to use it.

Webley thought the documentary was a good fit for an online platform, but colleagues whom he shared it with encouraged him to put it through the festival ring. The project, “Rodeo Dream,” ended up winning best documentary short at the 2016 Kansas City Filmfest.

“It was a surprise,” Webley said.

He’d never featured his work at a festival before.

The film is a unique memoir for Wiersma, who has since left the rodeo world following an injury — a torn urethra.

Although he’s at peace with that turn of events, Wiersma misses riding.

“I still wish every day that I could get on a bull,” he said.

Regardless, life is good. Wiersma works as a plumber, plans to own his own business one day, and said he’s dating a woman he intends to marry. It was for her, and the hopes of having a family, that he gave up rodeo.

He could have kept on, he said, but the doctor told him continuing to ride would risk having the same injury again, and that would have permanent consequences.

“What God wanted is God’s plan,” he said, “so it’s fine with me.”

EXERCISE: Alternative workout methods give other options for fitness FROM PAGE 20

“The first experience was so fun and amazing and freeing that the next week, I signed up for two classes and now I have the monthly membership,” Haenel said.

But for her, it’s not just about the sore muscles and full body workout.

It’s also about the personal empowerment found at the studio.

“For me, taking a pole class has been a really empowering thing,” Haenel said, adding that she is transgender and recently had gender confirmation surgery. “It’s really a whole new perspective on me and my body, and it’s a whole new freedom that I have.”

The studio has also been a source of community for Haenel and others.

“There’s this whole community of people that are very supportive,” Haenel said. “Ladies that go there of all shapes and body types. You don’t have to be a specific body type to pole dance. It breaks some of the preconceived notions that people might have.”

Mixed martial arts a complex workout On the other end of the spectrum, UFC gym in Westminster is giving people motivation to break the cycle of weights and the treadmill.

“I like it because it hits your whole body,” said James Camire, who attends classes at the gym and trains twice a week. “The intensity, it’s really hard to get similar intensity doing other things.”

Dalton Grinstead, coach and personal trainer at UFC in Westminster, said the mixed martial arts workout helps teach problem-solving skills for the real world.

“You can always get a cheap membership somewhere and wait for the macho man to get off the machine and do your curls for the girls, but you’re kind of turning your brain off there,” Grinstead said. “These workouts, it’s a complex movement pattern and it’s fast-paced. So you understand what jab cross is, but there’s 15 other things associated with it. Where’s my feet?

The Ballet Physique in Lone Tree focuses on combining the ballet bar with light weight training.

Where’s my head? So you’re constantly problem-solving both hemispheres of the brain.”

Walking into a UFC gym, which are also located in Highlands Ranch and Parker, is not the scene many people expect, Grinstead said.

“It’s kind of surprising because we’re a UFC gym and if you ever watch the UFC, it’s blood and, really, some people say violent fighting,” he said. “But our UFC gym is totally different. There’s only a small handful of guys here that want to compete in fighting. Really, 80 percent of the people here want to lose weight. A large percentage of that also want to learn self defense as well.”

Bringing lessons from outer space to the auditorium Dr. Leroy Chiao shares message of passion and courage with students

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Students at Pine Lane Elementary recently enjoyed a presentation by a stellar speaker, capped off with a unique slideshow and an inspiring message.

Dr. Leroy Chiao, a NASA veteran of four missions that included six spacewalks and a total of 229 days in orbit, spoke to Pine Lane’s kindergartners, elementary students and staff, sharing a theme of perseverance, passion and peace.

“I was 8 when my dream started, so it’s always energizing to be around young people,” Chiao said.

Chiao covered subjects familiar to the children — getting enough sleep and eating nutritious food — but he went on to cover other, more personal topics.

His parents immigrated to the United States from China and decided to raise Chiao in Milwaukee, a more diverse community than the ones immigrants often chose. Though he was glad his parents picked Milwaukee, growing up in the area in the 1960s wasn’t always easy.

“I was the only kid who looked dif-

Former astronaut Dr. Leroy Chiao takes questions from his audience at Pine Lane Elementary on Oct. 3. Chiao showed the students photos he took of Earth from the International Space Station as well as sharing inspiring messages on overcoming bullying and following dreams.

Dr. Leroy Chiao addresses students at Parker’s Pine Lane Elementary on Oct. 3. Chiao shared photos and stories from his NASA career and took a photo with each class after the assembly.

ferent, I was the only person who was small,” Chiao said.

Chiao told the children the bullying he faced only strengthened his resolve to do “something important.” He compared the experience to judo, a martial art based on finding a way to use an opponent’s energy against them.

“I was taking that negativity and using it for something, a positive I wanted to create,” he said.

The message resonated with Katie Ketter, a 10-year-old fifth grader at Pine Lane.

“A lot of people have made fun of me, I don’t even know why,” Ketter said. “When he was talking about being bullied I was thinking ‘I get this.’ It made me feel better to know that I’m not the only one.”

Passion and courage were the other qualities Chiao discussed with the students. Watching the moon landing on television in 1969 stirred

Chiao’s dream of space exploration.

He encouraged the students to hone in on what inspired them most, whatever it may be.

“Space isn’t my passion,” said 11-year-old sixth grader Elena Coons. “I already have it in my mind that I want to be an artist. Seeing that he was able to accomplish his dream made me think I might be able to do it.”

The students may have thought Chiao was brave to orbit the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour, but Chiao said it took more courage to stick with his dream of becoming an astronaut.

“Nothing is easy,” Chiao said, telling of the years of hard work he put in, and the skepticism he endured from his peers, as he worked toward his dream.

“Find that inner lion,” he said.

“Erase your fears and don’t give up.”

Chiao has been speaking to schoolage children for 16 years. After retiring from NASA he co-founded OneOrbit, and he spends his time with the company presenting motivational workshops to corporations as well as giving motivating educational programs to schools.

Corporate engagements may pay better, but the feedback Chiao gets from his younger audiences is priceless.

“Over the years, I’ll get a note or an email that says `when I was in third or fourth grade you came to my class,’” Chiao said. “‘Now I’m doing A, B or C and it’s because you came and gave us that inspiring message.’”

It may be a decade or two before Chiao gets such a note from a Pine Lane student, but he’ll be checking his inbox.

Katie Ketter, 10, a Pine Lane Elementary fifth-grader, says she responded to Dr. leroy Chiao’s message on bullying. She says seeing his example of someone who’s overcome adversity reminded her to focus on positivity.

Eleven-year-old Elena Coons, a sixthgrader at Pine Lane Elementary, says she wants to become a professional artist. She says hearing Dr. Leroy Chiao’s presentation about achieving his dreams makes her believe she can do it too.

A conversation with Colorado author Jen Turano Novelist from Parker offers insights into tricks of her trade

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parker author Jen Turano doesn’t tell people what she does for a living — she says they usually don’t believe her anyway.

Before writing, Turano pursued a degree in fashion, graduating from the University of Akron in Ohio.

After a lot of trial and error with her genres and subject matter, Turano has built a following in the inspirational novel field. She’s written seven novels for publisher Bethany House, each one mixing faith, romance and

What made you decide to start writing?

“I started writing when my son was in third grade. I read a certain series of books to him and he didn’t like it.

He said that the stories I used to tell him to keep him from getting out of his stroller were better than the ones I read to him by other people.

“The first one I wrote was called ‘Fanglers.’ The fanglers were smelly, lizard-like creatures that ate children.

“At the time, about 12 years ago, I was in charge of the PTO at my son’s school, so everybody wanted to read it.

“That’s when I learned my first big lesson — never let anyone you know read your stuff … I was convinced I belonged on Oprah’s couch. I sent the SEE NOVELIST, P38

Parker author Jen Turano sits in Fika Coffeehouse with a sampling of her work on Oct. 26. Turano says most people don’t realize how much hard work goes into writing, rewriting and editing books.

In addition to sunshine, vitamin D can be found in several types of food, including eggs, s cheese and salmon.

Vitamin D deficiency seen as overestimated

Doctors say much testing isn’t needed

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Doctors are warning about vitamin D again, and it’s not the “we need more” news you might expect. Instead, they say there’s too much needless testing and too many people taking too many pills for a problem that few people truly have.

The nutrient is crucial for strong bones and may play a role in other health conditions, though that is far less certain. Misunderstandings about the recommended amount of vitamin D have led to misinterpretation of blood tests and many people thinking they need more than they really do, some experts who helped set the levels write in the Nov. 10 New England Journal of Medicine.

Correctly interpreted, less than 6 percent of Americans ages 1 to 70 are deficient and only 13 percent are in danger of not getting enough.

That’s concerning, “but these levels of deficiency do not constitute a pandemic,” the authors write.

Yet people may think there is one.

Blood tests for vitamin D levels — not advised unless a problem like bone loss is suspected — are soaring. Under Medicare, there was an 83-fold increase from 2000 to 2010, to 8.7 million tests last year, at $40 apiece. It’s Medicare’s fifth most common test, just after cholesterol levels and ahead of blood sugar, urinary tract infections and prostate cancer screening.

“I’m not sure when it got popular to check everybody for vitamin D deficiency,” but patients often ask for it, especially baby boomers, said Dr. Kenny Lin, a Georgetown University family physician and preventive medicine expert.

Vitamin D pill use also grew, from 5 percent of Americans in 1999 to 19 percent in 2012.

That may be due to many reports suggesting harm from too little of “the sunshine vitamin,” called that because our skin makes vitamin D from sun exposure. It’s tough to get enough in winter or from dietary sources like

d t M F f

milk and oily fish, though many foods s and drinks are fortified with vitamin D “ and labels soon will have to carry that v o information.

Too much vitamin D can lead to high m levels of calcium in the blood, which A can cause nausea, constipation, kidney stones, an abnormal heart rhythm and H c other problems.

“We’re not saying that moderate-dose N supplements are risky, but more is not e S necessarily better,” said Dr. JoAnn Manson of Brigham and Women’s Hos- p pital in Boston. She and several other advisers to the Institute of Medicine, t which set the RDA, or recommended C b dietary allowance, wrote the journal t article.

People vary, biologically, in how mucha of any vitamin they need. The institute I estimated this by comparing various n intake and blood levels with measures of bone health. They estimated that, on p average, people need about 400 interna- m tional units of vitamin D per day, and w e 600 for people over 70.

To be safe and ensure that everyone s gets enough, they set the RDA at the high end of the spectrum of the population’s needs — 600 to 800 units, depending on age. So by definition, nearly everyone’s true requirement is below that.

Many people and their doctors regard the RDA and its corresponding blood levels as a threshold that everyone needs to be above, the authors write. As a result, people often are told they are inadequate or deficient in D when, in fact, they’re not.

“If you’re chasing a lab number, that will lead to many people getting higher amounts of vitamin D than they need,” and labs vary a lot in the quality of testing, Manson said.

The bottom line: Get 600 to 800 units a day from food or supplements and skip the blood test unless you have special risk factors, Manson said.

A big study she is helping lead is testing whether higher levels lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, memory loss, depression, diabetes, bone loss or other problems. Nearly 26,000 people have been taking 2,000 units of D-3 (the most active form of vitamin D, also known as cholecalciferol) or dummy pills every day for five years.

Results are expected in early 2018.

World premiere holiday musical comes home ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ celebrates variety show era

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was a time when holiday specials were an event for the whole family. When everyone would gather in front of the television to watch personalities like Dean Martin, Carol Burnett or Sonny and Cher host variety shows featuring music, skits and laughter.

Nostalgia for those days is what drove Arvada Center musical director David Nehls and writer Kenn McLaughlin to create “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” a musical developed for the center.

“We both grew up on variety shows,” explained McLaughlin.

“We thought we’d take our love of variety shows and what was going on in 1969, which was a watershed moment in the changing dynamic in America, and create this show.”

The world premiere of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., from Nov. 18 through Dec. 23. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. Wednesday, and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“The feeling of everyone coming together is missing from a lot of Christmas shows,” said Rod Lansberry, the Arvada Center’s artistic producer. “The show is a new happroach to our holiday show, and I believe we’re creating not only a new piece, but a new tradition.”

As the 1960s end, the Bright family prepares for their annual Christmas variety show, one of the mostwatched and anticipated television events of the year. The family gets a surprise when their son, and former

teen idol, Simon (Jake Mendes) returns from the Vietnam War, uneasy about returning to the stage and civilian life.

The show features new takes on classic Christmas numbers, as well as new songs written by Nehls.

“I’ve been the musical director for my own work before, but never at the Arvada Center,” he said. “The Arvada Center is the perfect place for new work, because it’s such an inviting and warm environment.”

McLaughlin and Nehls, as well as director Gavin Mayer, described the process of putting together “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” as collaborative and exciting.

“Christmas is my favorite time of year, so I take the opportunity to be part of people’s holiday season very seriously,” Mayer said. “This show is all about taking time out of life to breathe and about family being together.”

The cast of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” from left: Jake Mendes (Simon Bright), Noah Racey (Dana Bright), Megan Van De Hey (Louise Bright) and Kim McClay (Maggie Bright). The show tells the story of a variety show family, the Brights, in 1969.

South teams dig volleyball success OVERTIME

Alyssa Oswald (11) drives a spike over the net for Mountain Vista despite the block attempt by Rock Canyon’s Maddy Metcalf (4) and Skylar Lane (15) in the Class 5A state championship semifinal game.

Semifinal loss ends Jaguars’ season Mountain Vista eliminates Rock Canyon from playoffs

A Rock Canyon student was very vocal during the second set of the Jaguars’ semifinal match against Mountain Vista on Nov. 12 in the Class 5A state volleyball tournament

at the Denver Coliseum.

He yelled “played like we know you can” and followed with a suggestion: “battle back.”

Rock Canyon, Continental League champion and the tournament’s second seed, did play better in the third set, but league rival Mountain Vista

here was definitely a Continental League and south metro-area flavor in the Denver Coliseum for the Nov. 11 and 12 state volleyball tournament.

There were five Jim Benton Continental teams in 5A pool play, and with Cherry Creek and Arapahoe, that meant seven of the 12 teams were from the south metro area.

Valor Christian in Class 4A gave the south suburbs another team.

“It’s because we get to play good competition,” Chaparral coach Amanda West said when quizzed about the dominance of south metro teams.

“Some of the other teams maybe don’t see that competition going into postseason.”

Highlands Ranch coach Lou Krauss pointed toward club-team participation, population and money.

“It’s kind of a combination,” he said.

“You have the population growing, especially in Douglas County, and you have the socio-economics, which allows kids to play in clubs. If you play club, that gives you an advantage over everyone else. In this sport, it takes a long time to develop skills.”

Class system under review The Colorado High School Activities Association’s Classification and League Organization Committee will create a subcommittee to explore the current classification system.

One of the considerations will be adding another class to the current system, which presently goes up to Class 5A. Hopefully, this subcommittee will have enough sense to not add any more classifications. There are too many already.

Any new recommendations that are passed won’t happen until the 2020-22 cycle.

Enrollment has always been the chief reason in dividing schools into classifications.

Population of public schools should be a part of classification divisions, especially in football, but not the only criteria.

Remember, the Hoosiers were from a small town in the popular 1986 movie that was inspired by the Milan Indians winning the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship.

Chances of that happening in Colorado are slim, but those enthralled by enrollment figures should look at Pomona.

The Panthers were the 2015 state runner-up in Class 5A football and topranked this season. Pomona also won the state wrestling championship, was the boys state track winner and are the two-time state gymnastics champs.

Roundup of first-round football playoff action STAFF REPORT

After the first round of the Class 5A and 4A state football playoffs, quarterfinal matchups have been set.

In 5A, defending state champion and third-seeded Valor Christian (8-3) will host No. 6 Grandview (10-1) at 7 p.m. Nov. 18. Top-seeded Pomona (10-1) will play No. 9 seed Columbine (9-2) in a 7 p.m. Nov. 18 game at Jefferson County Stadium.

Second-seeded Mullen will host No. 7 Cherry Creek in a 7 p.m. game on Nov. 18. No. 5 Eaglecrest travels to No. 4 Regis Jesuit — date and time were not immediately available.

In Class 4A, No. 4 Ponderosa (10-1) will be at home against No. 5

Broomfield (9-2) at 1 p.m. Nov. 19.

Valor Christian romped to a 42-0 first-round victory over Cherokee Trail on Nov. 11. It was the fewest points the Eagles have scored in the past six games as Valor has outscored teams 284-35 during that six-game stretch. Quarterback Dylan McCaffrey accounted for five touchdowns. He completed 12-of15 passes for 221 yards and four touchdowns. He ran for 55 yards and a TD. His younger brother Luke, caught six passes for 119 yards and three scores.

Injury-riddled Cherry Creek will be without starting defender Jonathan Van Diest because of a broken arm when the Bruins go against Mullen, the school that

Creek coach Dave Logan used to lead. Quarterback Trey Windham, who started the season as a running back, scored twice in the first quarter in the Bruins’ 14-0 firstround win over Ralston Valley on Nov. 11.

In other first-round games: • Eaglecrest remained unbeaten with a 40-12 rout of Chaparral.

• Pomona’s Cameron Gonzales rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns in a 42-26 win over Bear Creek on Nov. 11. The Panthers took control of the game early, building up a 35-7 lead after three quarters.

• Grandview held Legacy to minus 11 yards rushing in a 37-7 victory over the Lightning on Nov.

• Ponderosa pounded Mesa Ridge, 40-14, in the Mustangs’ playoff opener. Ponderosa junior quarterback Sterling Ostdahl finished with 340 yards total offense in the win. He was 18of-21 for 219 yards passing and rushed for 121 yards and a TD. His brother Quinton, who doubles as a linebacker, rushed for two scores.

• Broomfield eliminated Heritage with a 27-14 victory Nov. 12.

Broomfield took a commanding 24-7 lead into the fourth quarter. After Heritage closed to within 24-14, Broomfield tacked on a field goal to seal the victory.

and were rested for the match against Mountain Vista.

“It’s different for a team that had already played versus a team that is coming in cold,” Rock Canyon coach Angela Nylund-Hanson said. “But I also think they just outplayed us.”

Rock Canyon (25-3) beat Vista during the league season, but against the Golden Eagles in the playoffs, the only time the Jaguars, sparked by junior Keeley Davis, played championship volleyball was in the third set.

“It’s a very stellar league,” Nylund-Hanson. “We have five teams from our league here at state out of the 12 teams. I wish we could have played better.

They had their best game and we didn’t have our best game.”

Davis had 20 kills in each of the pool victories and the junior had 16 kills against Mountain Vista. Senior middle blocker Lacey Zadra had 14 kills and eight blocks against Legend and Arapahoe. She had a 64.3 kill percentage with nine kills and six blocks in the semifinal match.

“I don’t think we were really prepared,” Zadra said. “We thought they would be really tired from playing so many matches. We weren’t in the game mentally. We were so worried about winning that we weren’t playing like with normally play.

“It was a heck of a season. We definitely made runs at things.

We were league champs for the first time in Rock Canyon history. I am so proud of my team.

We were the first team in Rock Canyon history even to make it to state.”

book to four or five contacts and none of them replied.”

How did you break into the business?

“One night a friend came over and had cocktails with me, and she said ‘you should write one of those Fabio books,’ but I didn’t want to write ‘naughty,’ I wanted teenage girls to be able to read my books.

“I wrote a book, ‘A Marriage of Inconvenience,’ and sent it out to 125 agents, and in two days I got a response.

“Random House said they liked it, but they wanted six sex scenes, so

my agent pointed me to the inspirational market, but by that time my son was in middle school and I thought ‘I’ll just go back to fashion.’

“Then one day I was cleaning the bathroom and I just got this idea for an entire series. I outlined my ideas on Post-it notes and stuck them all around the house as I was cleaning. I wrote a manuscript for the first book in the series, sent it to an agent, and it sold to Bethany House. In 2011 I signed a contract and in 2012 the first book came out.”

What would most people be surprised to learn about being an author?

“It’s definitely a job. It’s not glamorous.

“A lot of people think authors are mysterious or whatever, but a lot of the time I’m just sitting in a chair, thinking out loud.”

What does your writing process look like?

“I try to write about a chapter and a half a day. About 6,500 words. The first draft is like putting the pieces of a puzzle together, the bones of the story. Then I need to flesh them out.

“Then I do seven edits. Sometimes I’ll read through everything I’ve written the day before and delete it all. I usually read it on the computer twice and then print it out — my

brain just works differently when I see things on paper.

“The whole process takes from two to four months. I’ve done four books this year, but I’m comfortable doing three.”

Do people take you less seriously because you’re a romance novelist?

“Everyone thinks they’re not smart books, there’s no substance to them, but romance novels are a billion-dollar business.

“Your readers have expectations, and at the end of the day, nothing is about me, it’s all about them. They send me letters, and I really don’t want to disappoint them.”

hue said, every little bit counts.

The Taxpayers Bill of Rights is part of the Colorado Constitution and has a provision imposing revenue restrictions on state and local governments. It’s the first time in a decade that Castle Rock has exceeded

tax revenue limits set in place by TABOR. Money from the state and Colorado Department of Transportation was put toward town projects. That, paired with increases in sales tax revenue and other sources, led to the surplus.

Town Council voted 4-2 on Aug.

Mayor Pro Tem Jennifer Green and Councilman Brett Ford were opposed. Councilman George Teal was absent.

Green said she believed the money should be returned to taxpayers.

Ford, who originally supported asking to keep the money for town

The negotiations resulted in the “Agreement Between the Department of the Army and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources for Reallocation of Water Storage Space, Recreation Modifications, and Compensatory Mitigation Features at the Chatfield Dam and Reservoir, Colorado” dated October 9, 2014. Central participated in the creation of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, Inc., the purpose of which is to conduct such business as may be necessary to satisfy the mitigation obligations of the reallocation project participants, including Central.

Medical Science Attacks Arthritis Pain

How Advanced Medical Technology Has Armed Doctors To Win The War Against Arthritis Pain

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer El Paso County - There is a war on arthritis. And with incredible advancements in technology, medical science is finally winning the battle.

Doctors armed with cuttingedge treatments are getting results that were out of reach not too long ago. Now arthritis sufferers are not only getting out of pain, many of the worst cases are able to avoid total joint replacement surgeries and getting results from much less invasive, less costly and less painful treatments.

In just a moment I’m going to tell you all about one of these treatments and some amazing technology that is changing the way doctors treat arthritis. But first, I have to ask you this...

What would it be like to finally find a solution for you arthritis pain?

Seriously. Could you imagine going to bed and waking up without stiffness and pain? Imagine if you could go for walks again - or even play tennis and golf without all the struggle. Imagine how that would feel... wouldn’t that be incredible?

Without a doubt, it would be life changing. Which is why one treatment has gained such tremendous popularity.

The treatment is viscosupplementation. If you have never heard about viscosupplementation, what you are about to discover will not only be interesting - it might end your pain. And if you have already given viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Supartz, Orthovisc, Synvisc) a try and didn’t good

results - this information is especially for you.

There are two very important reasons why many doctors (and their patients) do not get great results with viscosupplementation you should know about that might lead you to the results you are looking for.

But let’s start with...

What Is Viscosupplementation And How Does It Work?

This is pretty incredible.

Researchers and scientists discovered that the rooster’s comb (that big red thing on its head) is made up of hyaluronic acid (HA) which is one of the building blocks of the natural lubricating fluid in your joints.

HA in the roosters comb is concentrated and purified by pharmaceutical companies into a lubricating gel and is injected directly into the joint space in a series of 3-5 injections over 3-5 weeks.

This lubricating gel acts like “joint oil” and deceases friction and can reduce or eliminate pain.

Results can be almost immediate for some - but most start getting pain relieve after a few weeks and results typically last for 6 months or longer.

Is There Proof?

Would a 75% success rate be worth a try? According to Orthopaedics Today, “Michael Axe, MD, a clinical professor of physical therapy at the University of Delaware, has given more than 15,000 HA injections, including 13,000 Hyalgan injections. He said that 75% of his patients improve within five injections of Hyalgan, while 60% get relief from three doses. And more than half the people are still markedly better at six months, but they do notice a return of their

Technology And “Secret Sauce” Are Keys To Arthritis Pain Treatment MEDICAL NEWS - “Everyone laughs when we call it our “Secret Sauce” but it is one of the biggest reasons knee arthritis sufferers travel from all over the El Paso County area for our treatments.” stated the clinic director at Osteo Relief Institute in Colorado Springs, CO is referring to the knee arthritis pain relief program that is in such high demand they had to expand their clinic.

Osteo Relief Institute first started offering viscosupplementation for knee arthritis pain back in 2009. And since that time they have positioned themselves in the forefront of knee arthritis pain relief.

Patients travel from an many as 4 hours away to be treated with the “Osteo Relief Method” because of two important factors.

First, Osteo Relief spared no expense and uses the best digital imaging to make sure treatments are 100% accurate and virtually painless.

Doctors doing joint injections without this advanced imaging miss the joint up to 30% of the time. This is a big reason why viscosupplementation injections hurt and might not have worked

for you.

Osteo Relief Institute also offers several different joint lubricating gels... or their “secret sauce.” Every patient is individual and the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have found that using a different joint lubricating gel is often the key to success.

Too often, doctors either miss the joint completely because they do not have the proper imaging... or they only use one joint lubricating gel that is not right for you.

Making sure the right joint lubricating gel actually goes where it is supposed to makes all the difference in the world and gets results when others have failed.

“When you make sure you put the right lubricating gel in the exact right spot the results can be wonderful. Especially for patients who have tried viscosupplementation elsewhere without great results.” added the doctor.

The screening is 100% free with no further obligation and will help find the answers you are looking for about knee arthritis pain.

What If You Are Facing Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Surgery?

A study by a renowned expert and physician, published in the Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy concluded, “In patients who are candidates for TKR, the need for TKR can be delayed with hylan G-F 20 when used for the treatment of OA knee pain.

Even more impressive is that, according to the study, “Survival analysis showed that 75% of knees had not had TKR by 1,370 days (3.8 years).”

In other words...75% of patients who thought they needed total knee replacement 3.8 years later still had not had surgery after this treatment.

What Do Doctors Do When They Have Knee Arthritis?

And not only that - he is not only a doctor... he is a knee arthritis patient. Here is what he stated about treatment with viscosupplementation on his own knees: “So, I’ve subsequently gotten a total of three courses (of treatment) and it’s worked dramatically for me on all occasions. So, that brings, if you will, a personal bias in that it worked so good for me that I’m anxious to use it in my patients.”

So, if this treatment is so incredible, why some patients not get great results?

The BIG Problem With Viscosupplementation And Why It Might Not Have Worked For You The biggest problem with Viscosupplementation is that the injections must be extremely precise. Unlike other injections that work if they are administered in the general area... if the viscosupplementation injections miss the joint space, the treatment will not work. Injections can also be painful if they are not accurate.

Advanced Technology Makes The Difference That’s why the experts at Osteo Relief Institute, a medical clinic located in Colorado Springs, CO use cutting-edge digital-motion imaging technology (not just simple ultrasound) to see into the joint space and guide the injections.

This technology allows doctors to be very precise and get the lubricating gel exactly where it is supposed to be to give you the best results.

Research shows that joint injections done without this technology miss the joint space up to one third of the time.

This is why so many patients who have had viscosupplementation without results elsewhere come to Osteo Re-
