Town to buy land for park Remediation is first step for site near Plum Creek Golf Course

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Castle Rock will buy property near the Plum Creek Golf Course in order to remediate the land and one day develop a neighborhood park.

Town council approved purchasing roughly 7.6 acres from SW Greens Plum Creek LLC for $525,000 at its Nov. 5 meeting. The site has tennis courts and a pool that are not functional. Town staff plan to restore the property and replace it with a neighborhood park. Removing the pool and courts will cost approximately $150,000, staff said.

Director of Parks and Recreation Jeff Brauer said the property is

Nearly two dozen languages spoken at elementary Northridge celebrates diversity of students whose families came from around world

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Originally from Russia, Anna Shustikova never planned on moving to the United States. She and her husband entered a green card lottery out of curiosity, and to her surprise, won.

They didn’t know what to do, she said. Shustikova had a successful career in event planning, her husband worked in IT, they had a young daughter, and they didn’t speak English.

“We had everything in Moscow,” she said. “It was a very hard decision.”

After careful thought, the family decided they’d regret not going. So, they uprooted their lives and resettled in Colorado.

Shustikova now works as an educational assistant at Northridge Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, and she’s far from the only school community member with international roots.

Among teachers, staff, students and their families, there are 21 different languages spoken at the school. Among the most common are Russian, Spanish and three languages of the Indian subcontinent: Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Yawen Lien leads her class in song as they learn Mandarin.

other languages. She speaks Malayalam — another language of India — and Penubelli speaks Telugu.

Principal Katie Lynch said they’ve had some families come because parents received work visa. She believes word began to spread about the school’s diversity, which in turn attracted more families relocating from somewhere around the globe.

“Parents shop,” she said. “I think the word has gotten out now that all kids are welcome (at Northridge).”

The school provides two English Language Learners teachers to support students and interpreters if needed at events, but also offers elective language courses for students, many of whom are already bilingual, to learn yet another language.

Yawen Lien teaches Mandarin at Northridge. Having emigrated from her home in Taiwan, Lien said she hopes to set an example for students in how to respect other cultures. She moved to the United States in 2000 so her husband could pursue his master’s degree.

Energetic and upbeat, Lien often leads her class in songs to help them pick up Mandarin through action.

“I just totally love it. I feel like this is such a blessing to teach my mother language to other students,” she said.

Teaching down the hall from her is

Irma Morgione, a Spanish teacher at Northridge. Her parents emigrated from central Mexico in the 1970s when she was in fourth grade. Spanish was her first language, and she can’t recall learning English because she was so young, she said.

She’s grateful her students have the opportunity to learn other languages at a young age as well.

“They learn it a little bit quicker when they’re exposed to it at an early age. They retain,” she said.

The teachers said being exposed to so much diversity teaches children to be compassionate and open-minded toward people with different backgrounds.

“I think it’s so beautiful,” Lien said.

“That’s the special part of Northridge.”

When Shustikova first started working at Northridge, she hardly knew English. She sought the job because she wanted to be near her daughter, who’s now in fourth grade at the school.

Today she holds conversations in English handily, pausing occasionally to ask if she spoke correctly, determined to improve. She’s happy they made the move, she said, hard as it was.

“I like it,” she said. “I spend a lot of time with (my daughter).”

Podcast tells stories of local emergency responders Show’s goal is to connect people to resources surrounding mental wellness

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Chris Macklin left the scene of the Columbine High School shootings in 1999, all he wanted to do was talk with his peers about what they’d just experienced.

Macklin, a Denver paramedic at the time, was 28 and had no way to know what he would see when he walked into the school library that morning.

“The most difficult thing wasn’t the work there. It was what happened after,” Macklin said.

Macklin felt frustrated by the program in place at the time to help emergency responders deal with the trauma stemming from such an event.

He wasn’t given a chance to be around peers and he wasn’t told how to cope in the following days, he said.

“And then I did everything wrong,” he said. “I went home and I had a few drinks and I watched the news all night.”

This experience led Macklin in 2012 to take over the peer support team and wellness program of South Metro Fire Rescue, he said.

“How do we make sure what happened to me doesn’t happen to other people?” he said.

Macklin, along with two other Douglas County emergency responders, spoke about their experiences with trauma and mental wellness for a new podcast called “Everyday Brave.”

A nonprofit called The Connection Project is producing the podcast, which will have 12 episodes. All available episodes, which also will include conversations with Arapahoe County responders, are online at realpeoplereallife.org/ everydaybrave and new episodes will be added once a week through January.

Jason Hopcus, the nonprofit’s founder, started the group to create connections and foster communication between people. Hopcus is also the CEO of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, which is a partner in the project.

Hopcus began the podcast because of the struggles facing the responder community specifically, he said.

“I think they need the support,” he said.

The goal of the show is to connect responders with resources that can help them, he said.

Macklin, for instance, spoke about how his 32-member peer support team works.

When responders are sent on a difficult assignment, trained members of the peer support team check in on them. They’re also available to talk confidentially if needed, he said.

Chris Macklin spoke about his experience responding to the 1999 Columbine shooting in a new podcast for emergency responders called “Everyday Brave.”

Macklin now coordinates a peer support and wellness program for South Metro Fire Rescue.

COURTESY PHOTO

“The first line of defense is peer-topeer counseling or venting,” Macklin said.

Two things the team has focused on are normalizing people’s stress responses and encouraging them to give firsthand testimonies of their experience.

“That would be my advice,” Macklin said. “Be willing to recognize that your response is normal no matter what it is.”

And so far, it looks like it’s helping, Macklin said.

“More men and women are willing to tell people how they’re feeling after a call,” he said.

Macklin’s episode will be available in early December, Hopcus said.

Dan Brite, the wellness coordinator for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, was featured in the first episode of the podcast.

Brite was shot in the line of duty in 2016 and nearly died. Afterward, he realized the importance of speaking up about mental health, he said in the episode.

“That was my breaking point,” he said. “I needed help. I had depression, I had suicidal thoughts. I was traveling down that road of just being bitter and angry toward anyone and everything.”

In his episode, Brite encourages responders to check in with a psychologist once in a while.

“The amount of things we deal with in this profession, it’s not normal for a human being to experience that much trauma and sadness and loss and violence,” he said. “It takes a toll.”

Brite also points out that there are nearly 190 critical incidents in a typical first responders’ career.

“Every one of those is an opportunity for PTSD, depression and unhealthy coping mechanisms to start to work into their lives,” he said.

The third responder featured in the podcast is Ben O’Brien, a fire responder for SMFR. O’Brien supports the wellness programs and promotes mindfulness practices and skills to support responders, Hopcus said.

His episode will come out at the beginning of December.

well-positioned for a neighborhood park. The town wants park sites to be within a half-mile walking distance of the residents who will use them.

The Plum Creek property meets that standard, he said.

The town and the seller both had the property appraised. Kilty and Company conducted the appraisal for the town and valued the land at slightly more than $400,000. The seller’s appraisal was in the high $800,000s. Negotiations arrived at the selling price of $525,000.

Purchasing the land and remediating it will be paid for using the town’s cash in lieu fund. The fund comprises cash-in-lieu payments from developers who do not have property they are required to give under the town’s park land dedication requirements.

Councilmembers unanimously approved the deal but not before asking if the town was getting a good deal and if it should be responsible for cleaning up the site.

Councilmember James Townsend said he was struggling to justify the numbers but Town Manager David Corliss and Brauer assured him staff was comfortable with the purchase agreement. Corliss noted the site has

off-street parking, enough space for a park and vistas of The Rock landmark.

“Staff believes this is an appropriate deal. This is a good deal. This is an opportunity,” Corliss said. “We don’t get very many opportunities in a developed neighborhood.”

Councilmember Caryn Johnson asked if the purchase should be prioritized over park sites that need improvements. Mayor Pro Tem Jason Bower said he would “probably rather hold the property owner accountable for this property” by having them remediate it.

“It’s dirty, it’s blighted, it looks ragged and they should clean it up,” he said.

He was willing to approve the deal because the last citizen survey indicated residents want the town to obtain more open space and parks and take on such projects, he said.

Councilmember Jess Loban said he also struggled with paying for the cleanup but said staff did due diligence in negotiating the price to under half of where the offer began.

“Credit to our town staff and to the property owner doing the negotiation,” he said. “We’ve come to an agreeable decision here.”

Councilmember George Teal, who represents the Plum Creek area, said the property has been a concern for constituents for years and thanked councilmembers for considering the issue.

Diabetics in particular are urged to take steps to avoid heart risk

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some good health news: Americans’ cholesterol levels are dropping, and more people at especially high risk are getting treatment.

Researchers say the report, released Nov. 11, suggests a controversial change in recommendations for cholesterol treatment may be starting to pay off.

“It is very heartening,” said Dr. Pankaj Arora of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who led the study. “But there is more to do.”

Heart disease is the world’s leading killer and high cholesterol is a key risk factor — but not the only one.

Doctors long treated patients based mostly on their level of so-called “bad” cholesterol, whether they had other risks or not. In 2013, national guidelines urged them instead to focus more on people’s overall heart risk, by taking into account age, blood pressure, diabetes and other factors. Those at highest risk would get the most benefit from cholesterol-

lowering statin drugs.

The Alabama team examined records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that tracked cholesterol information from more than 32,000 adults between 2005 and 2016.

Among people taking cholesterol medication, the average level of that “bad” cholesterol — what’s known as LDL cholesterol — dropped 21 points over the study period, the researchers reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. It was declining even before the 2013 guidelines but continued to inch down afterward.

Total cholesterol levels and another fat known as triglycerides likewise decreased.

“These are surprisingly impressive results” that together predict a 15% to 20% reduction in risk of heart attacks and strokes, said Dr. Michael Miller, preventive cardiology chief at the University of Maryland Medical Center, who wasn’t involved with the study.

Moreover, there was an uptick in statin use by people with diabetes over the study period, from less than half to over 60% getting one. Diabetics are particularly vulnerable to heart attacks and tend to have poorer outcomes.

Tale of innovative artwork follows fascinating thread

W

hen someone mentions “quilt,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Your aunt? Your grandmother? Your grandmother’s aunt?

Me? I think of the young woman who cleans my teeth.

Lindsay Thompson is a dental hygienist at Highlands Ranch Smiles on University Boulevard.

She has been cleaning my teeth four times a year for a long time, and we have taken that frequency to get to know each other better.

One day she said, “I quilt.”

I was speechless. It wasn’t because I couldn’t think of anything to say. I couldn’t talk because Lindsay’s ultrasonic scaler was in my mouth.

When she said she quilts, I remem-

bered what I already knew about the subject, and I realized it wasn’t much.

QUIET There’s a quilting DESPERATION scene in “Witness,” the film that stars Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis.

There’s the quilt my mother and father bought for me when they lived in Tennessee for a couple of years. They would see beautiful Craig Marshall examples hanging Smith on clotheslines in rural backyards, with a handwritten “For Sale” sign nearby.

There’s Clare Quilty, a character in

an infamous Vladimir Nabokov novel.

After that, all I had were stereotypes.

Now, thanks to Lindsay, that has changed.

As she began to tell me how she became a quilter, I heard her say things that were very familiar to me, and to all artists and artisans.

There is a progression from an interest to an inquiry to a venture to an adventure, and each step brings you closer to something unexpectedly meaningful and fulfilling.

Just don’t let your children grow up to be art majors, says Forbes magazine.

When Lindsay was on a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, with her mother-in-law (a longtime quilter), she

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A questionable decision The Douglas County Library Board President announced that James LaRue’s name would be removed from the Highlands Ranch Library, reversing a decision his predecessors made in 2013. Not naming buildings for living people is sound public policy. Applying it retroactively is not.

Perhaps Mr. Duffy does not know how bad the libraries were before LaRue. There was no county public library until 1968. LaRue created a library district with dedicated tax support in 1990. The next year libraries were open seven days a week, not five. By 2006, the system ranked third of 329 systems nationwide. When LaRue left, there were 2 million library visitors who checkedout over 8 million books.

I question Mr. Duffy`s judgment in removing LaRue`s name, which has been viewed as erasing his achievements and by extension the superb library he built. If you agree, contact the board at trustees@dclibraries.org Bill Gernert Castle Rock Library board was wrong I was shocked and angry to read about the unilateral action by the Douglas County library board to rename the James H.

ous board that were taken after thoughtful deliberations and justifications.

To be sure, these actions are perfectly legal but, that do not mean they are always right.

James H. Larue has had a distinguished career and was responsible for building a library system of our county and has received numerous awards. He was very active in community service, participating in a variety activities besides building the library district. His political views were not in sync with some of the county commissioners or the library board but that does not give them a right to change earlier actions that were thoughtful and welcomed by the community.

The library board claims a new policy to no longer name buildings for living people. I might accept that rationale if it did not nullify present status. I was further amazed to hear a gratuitous comment “You never know what living people may do.” Please be assured that my friend Jamie will never do a thing to embarrass the community. The fact that no citizen objected to this decision at the board meeting does not make this process completely transparent. Actions that are of great and lasting importance should be announced broadly well in advance and input requested.

bought a quilt kit and used it to make a quilt for her newborn son’s crib.

And that’s how it began.

Now, six years later, Lindsay is the president of the Front Range Modern Quilt Guilt. The key word there is “modern.”

Quilts, historically, were considered bedding. Now they are often thought of as works of art, and are displayed on walls, like paintings. Like my paintings.

And that gave me an idea.

Murmurs of disappointment, shouts of gratitude

M

any times, it seems like just the opposite of this headline, doesn’t it? How often do we find ourselves shouting out about our disappointment and then only quietly murmuring about our gratitude?

Although Elton WINNING John sang, “Sorry seems to be the hardWORDS est word,” for some of us, saying “Thanks” seems to be the hardest word.

Sometimes it feels like we are stacking up our frustrations, building up our resentment and justifying our case for anger Michael Norton just so we can unload on the first person or company that doesn’t give us exactly what we want and when we want it.

Our immediate gratification thermometer bottoms out as we are blinded by a perceived need for something that we feel like we must have and have right now.

Think about it for a just a moment, has that ever been you? It certainly has been me, and I am never proud of myself when it happens. And yet when someone does finally get us what we

thought we needed or wanted, we can barely utter the words, “Thank you.”

It is most often a mumbled murmur and under our breath, “Thanks.” Why does that happen? Is it because we want to hold onto our anger and disappointment for a little while longer like it’s a trophy of some kind? Or do we let our pride get in the way and feel like we need to stand our ground, drawing a line in the sand between our expectations and our appreciation?

There is no doubt that we will read several columns about gratitude and thanksgiving this week, after all, it is the week of Thanksgiving. And we will see hundreds of posts and memes on social media and on our phones celebrating the spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving.

We will gather together as families and friends and share what we appreciate the most as we eat, drink, play, and pray together. We will be reminded of all that we have to be grateful for in our lives. This week our sense of gratitude and our awareness of appreciation will be heightened.

And during this week, especially on Thanksgiving, we will typically only murmur thoughts about our disappointments, and instead we will shout

off with a large area for her to quilt, and said, “Do something.”

When she showed me what she had done, I was stunned — and I think she was too.

Lindsay included one traditional quilting element she called an “Ohio Star,” but everything else was as creatively placed as swatches of color in a Kandinsky painting.

I then had the canvas stretched at Meininger, and I painted into the areas opposite hers, using colors that either matched or complemented her vivid palette.

What happened next? I entered our collaboration, titled “Ohio Star,” in the Lone Tree Arts Center’s annual juried Art Expo, and it was accepted.

Lindsay attended the opening, and basked in the approval of her friends who were there.

Art has provided me with some incomparable moments. Collaborating with Lindsay Thompson was one of them.

The crib quilt was created on a trusty 1947 sewing machine. Lindsay now has a top-of-the-line 2019 Bernina.

out our feelings of love and gratitude.

In those moments of shouting out our gratitude, something happens inside of us. We begin to feel better, our frustration levels go down, our wall of resentment begins to crumble, and our anger is abated as we see, hear, think, and feel gratitude all around us. It’s been said that gratitude is one of the healthiest and strongest of all human emotions.

And this is not just when we are shown appreciation, but also when we share our own gratitude and appreciation with, and for, others in our lives that we begin to feel better in so many ways.

It’s kind of like going to the gym or maybe taking a walk. At first, we may not really be in the mood to go, but as soon as we start, as soon as we get moving, we immediately begin to feel better physically, mentally and emotionally, appreciating our decision to get in some exercise. It’s the same with

gratitude, once we start, the feeling is truly amazing.

Some of us are very effective in sharing our gratitude verbally while others do a good job of expressing their appreciation through writing in the form of an email, a text or a card.

Then there are those who know how to give a great hug or handshake when sharing their gratitude. And if you are the kind of person who loves to give or receive a hug, just remember that HUG stands for Having Unbelievable Gratitude, so give those out as often as possible.

How about you? Are you murmuring disappointment and shouting out gratitude? I would love to hear your appreciation story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can give a shout out to thanksgiving on Thanksgiving, it really will be a better than good week.

Daylight-saving time shift, dwindling sunlight put mind, body though changes

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

bout one in every three American adults already doesn’t get enough sleep, and the end of daylightsaving time can throw another wrench into the equation — even though the day “gains” an hour in the fall rather than losing one toward the spring.

“Either way, biologically, you’re changing your circadian rhythm, the biological clock we live by,” said Danielle Hicks, a psychology instructor at Front Range Community College in Westminster.

The ensuing sleep disruption can come with a host of hurdles: mood problems, struggles with focusing, less precise control of movements and, of course, throwing off the sleep-wake cycle.

People also may be more emotional or may not receive information as well as usual, Hicks said.

“It feels as if you’re jet-lagged,” Hicks said. “I would ask yourself, if you’re jet-lagged, are you going to work on heavy machinery? Are you going to lead a major meeting?

Are you going to make major decisions?”

Daylight-saving time ended in the wee morning hours Nov. 3, but the days are still approaching the “shortest day of the year” in late December — when daytime is shortest and night is longest — at the winter solstice, marking the start of that season.

That’s important for sleep because when the day gets dim, the body increases its amount of a hormone called melatonin, which helps induce sleep. After the fall time change, light in the morning — earlier than the biological clock expects it — can put a damper on that extra hour of sleep because it reduces melatonin, according to Hicks.

But the natural change in light

How to bounce back in fall

G

enerally, people experience more difficulty “in the spring forward than the falling back” from daylight-saving time, said Kristy Dykema, a psychology professor at Front Range Community College. “But, that said, it has effects.”

Adjusting to the fall time change can take two or three weeks as the body’s circadian rhythms change, said Allison Hagood, a psychology professor at Arapahoe Community College. Those who have symptoms past that point could be diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder, she added, a type of depression some people experience this time of year.

Some people may bounce back within several days, but the impact may be greater if a person is already sleep-deprived or more susceptible to mental health issues, according to Dykema.

Those who have seasonal affective disorder symptoms — loss of interest in things a person used to enjoy, sadness, feeling sluggish, social withdrawal and even having thoughts of death or suicide, among others — should take a proactive approach in their routines, Dykema said.

“When you get up in the morning, expose yourself to some light — that helps to wake up your system,” Dykema said. Exercise releases chemicals that can ease depressive symptoms, she added.

For those without a history of mental health challenges, exercise is still a good way to fight drowsiness, Dykema said. Avoiding overcaffeinating in the evening and trying not to nap will help people adjust better too, she said.

And for those who aren’t back to normal after several weeks, a professional opinion might be the best way forward. Stigma still surrounds depression, but there’s no shame in reaching out for help, Hagood said.

“As a psychologist, I always feel if a person is struggling, (remember) not to do it alone,” Dykema said. “There are a lot of community resources out there to seek support and help from a professional.”

as seasons change is more subtle than the human-made daylightsaving time, said Kristy Dykema, a psychology professor at Front Range.

“Daylight-saving time, that’s a more acute shift. Smaller, but more drastic in terms of how much time we have to prepare for it and adjust to it,” Dykema said.

Deeper effects As some adjust to the time change, they may not be out of the woods just yet. They may still be feeling the effects of seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression.

“For people (for) whom the adjustment in the first couple weeks is not sufficient to alleviate the symptoms, the symptoms can continue to be a challenge as the sunlight continues to decrease,”

said Allison Hagood, a psychology professor at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton.

The disorder can include loss of interest in things a person used to enjoy, boredom, apathy and sadness, according to Hagood. Feeling sluggish, social withdrawal and even having thoughts of death or suicide also could be symptoms.

“People who don’t have a diagnosis can experience those symptoms to a lesser extent,” Hagood said.

“Not across the board, but there is an increased likelihood. Most people who don’t have a diagnosis will see the (symptoms decrease) within a few weeks.”

‘More regular routine’ Acknowledging that the time change can present hurdles is the first step to adjusting, Hagood said.

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

“Recognize that these changes in one’s self are possible,” Hagood said. “Our society is built on this idea of continuing through no matter what — continuing to work and be in one’s life the same way no matter what happens.”

At the start, tweaking a sleep schedule by 15 minutes each day leading up to the time change can help, Hicks said. That same strategy can work for kids, she added.

Sticking with predictable patterns, such as eating around the same time each day, also can help adjust, Hicks said.

Teenagers need roughly the same amount of sleep as adults but fall asleep later, Hagood said, and the time shift can hit them hard because they’re already sleepdeprived.

“My first suggestion is to work on having a more regular routine, even on the weekends,” Hicks said for teens. “Because they want to sleep in on the weekends, but that’s confusing their bodies with the increase and decrease in melatonin.”

Keep pets in mind Even furry friends can be thrown by the time change as their meals or walks come at different times.

“The interesting thing about pets is that without humans, they don’t have a clock — they just eat when they eat and sleep when they sleep.

They have their own internal routine,” Hicks said.

As with people, gradually shifting pets’ activities leading up to the time change can do the trick to help them adjust, Hicks said.

youth in a creative, multi-artistic way — Rocky Mountain Youth Orchestra will execute it a little differently, the release said.

The goal of Rocky Mountain Youth Orchestra is to train and inspire students to be independent and confident musicians who can enjoy and participate in music, alone and with others in their community, throughout their lives, the release said.

Young musicians will study and perform traditional and modern orchestral masterpieces in connection with the broader context of other arts and culture. It will be headed by local musician David Rutherford, who has undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Northern Colorado. He has been an educator and orchestral director for more than 20 years, and was the morning host on CPR’s KVOD (90.1 FM) for many years.

Holiday GIFT GUIDE

A Special Suppliment of

Experts recommend cautious spending this holiday season

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hile indicators point to a strong economy with unemployment rates low and spending high, local experts warn that 2019 might be the year to exercise caution in holiday spending.

The National Retail Federation (NRF) expects holiday retail sales during November and December to increase between 3.8 percent and 4.2 percent from last year. Spending is expected to be between $727.9 billion and $730.7 billion.

According to the NRF, the average Ameri-

can will spend $700 on gifts in 2019, totaling more than $465 billion nationally.

However, local economist Meredith Moon, of the state’s Legislative Council, said despite national predictions, it is possible that retail sales decline slightly this holiday season, citing trade tensions with China as a factor to consider in consumer confidence.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s Advance Monthly Retail Trade Report for September 2019 was just published, and U.S. retail sales decreased 0.3 percent in September monthover-month.

“This this is the first month retail sales

have fallen since February,” Moon said.

“However, this data is subject to revisions that may reverse this fall in sales. The tariffs scheduled to go into effect on Dec.15, which cover mainly consumer goods, should not significantly affect holiday shopping prices, since retailers typically increase their inventories months in advance of the holiday season.”

Nelisha Firestorm, a financial advisor with Prosperion Financial, said unemployment rates in the U.S. remain some of the SEE SPENDING, PA3

lowest they’ve ever been, and when people are employed, they tend to spend money. However, she warns it might be smart to be cautious in spending this year.

“While the U.S. is in good shape, the rest of the world is not,” Firestorm said. “In the midst of the longest recovery on record, headline news stories grab our attention reminding us we are in precarious times and things can shift quickly. This holiday season, give yourself the gift of not overdoing it just because you can.”

For shoppers, holiday shopping is beginning earlier and earlier every year. Retailers aren’t sitting back and waiting for the Black Friday specials. In fact, experts are seeing

Big-Box stores shifting strategy in an effort to keep up with the continued success of Amazon.

Instead of waiting for Black Friday, this year, it’s clear holiday shopping season is plowing forward and stores like Target, Kohls and Wal-Mart are already posting big deals, using the likes of social media pages such as Facebook.

Small Business Saturday As with every year, Black Friday might steal the headlines, but its sales taxes generated from Small Business Saturday that truly help the local economy. This year, Small Business Saturday is scheduled for Nov. 30.

Experience an Austrian Christmas at historic Schweiger Ranch

I

t’s fun to add new family traditions to your holiday season. One of the most magical places to do that in the metro Denver area is the historic Schweiger Ranch. This cultural gem in Lone Tree, Colorado is a revived homestead and living history museum that was envisioned and completed by the nonprofit Schweiger Ranch Foundation. The Ranch is nestled on 38-acres in RidgeGate, southeast of I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway and is open seasonally for guided and self-guided tours and events. This Douglas County historic landmark comes alive during the holiday season with traditions that speak to its original heritage.

The Austrian Schweiger brothers founded this ranch in 1874. John, Joseph, and Jacob Schweiger worked this land, overcame immense hardship, and thrived in this bucolic setting. The original farmhouse has been restored to pristine condition. The restoration has also brought new life to the barn and silo, granary, chicken coop, machine shed and cistern

house. As you walk the property and encounter the apple orchard, farm animals and abundant wildlife, you can sense the magic and the beauty that drew those pioneers here over a century ago.

Schweiger Ranch is presenting its annual Austrian Christmas and Christkindl Market on Saturday, December 7th from 1-5 pm. There will be holiday fun for the whole family. Visit Santa Claus and his real reindeer, have your face painted, enjoy story time and crafts making, or take a horse drawn carriage ride. There will be giveaway baskets, wreath making workshops for the adults (for purchase), an Austrian band, Austrian food and a free cup of hot cocoa or cider to keep you cozy.

Stop by the Christkindl Market for presents that will add a local handcrafted touch to your gift giving. The event culminates with the awe and wonder of the annual holiday tree lighting.

Pals also saved his best for last as he came from behind with a 2-underpar 70 on the Air Force Academy’s blue course to force a playoff for the Class 3A individual state crown. He and Walker Franklin of Prospect Ridge finished at 144 but Pals won the playoff and the state title with a par on the first extra hole.

He also played a key role in Lutheran capturing the state team title.

Kates and Pals were named the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Co-Golfers of the Year.

“Will worked very hard,” said Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner.

“All the practice during the season on his chipping and putting sure paid off. During our practice rounds he figured out where he had to be on the greens to have chances at birdies.

Schilling lost only one set all season and completed a 21-0 campaign with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Fairview’s

Luke Silverman in the No. 1 singles championship match at the boys state tournament, which was held Oct. 1819 at the Gates Tennis Center.

He lost the first two games against Silverman but rallied to win easily and went a step further this year after losing in the finals of the 2018 tournament to Chatfield’s Christian Holmes, 7-5, 7-5.

“There’s no doubt he was dominant in that match,” said Regis coach Laura Jones. “He was 21-0 for the year. Nobody beat him.

hanksgiving is here.

It’s the day of turkey trots, Macy’s Thanksgiving parade, football, feasting and family.

It is obviously a time for families and friends who are like family to get together, offer thanks, enjoy each other’s company and enjoy a tasty meal.

I always take time during Thanksgiving to offer thanks for the little things that are often overlooked, for instance like hugs and that person who always greets you with a pleasant welcoming.

And I always try OVERTIME to offer things on the local high school sports scene that I am thankful for but many of these ideas haven’t changed.

I am appreciative of warm weather for late fall football games, being inside Jim Benton for all winter sports events, no shootouts in the state championship soccer games, the first look at a field hockey match, the squeaky sound of basketball shoes on the court, being alert at volleyball and lacrosse games to not get hit by balls during warmups and walk-off hits during baseball games, to list just a few.

This year I have thanks for a personal bad time that I was going through last summer. Friends, family and co-workers were helpful and supportive.

Now it is time to test memories and be thankful that I was able to dig up from a variety of sources some sports quotes that might be entertaining on the holiday.

Enjoy while your dinner is digesting.

Here we go.  You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.

— Wayne Gretzky  If you win through bad sportsmanship, there’s no real victory.

— Babe Didrikson Zaharias  When you win, say nothing, when you lose say less.

— Paul Brown  Sportsmanship for me is when a guy walks off the court and you really can’t tell whether he won or lost when he carries himself with pride either way.

— Jim Courier  The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

“It was a very smart final round on his part. This was no fluke. He is that good.”

Kates admitted his putting is what helped him surprise the rest of the golfers in the 5A tournament.

“I had a pretty good season,” said Kates. “It feels amazing to be a state champion. I played really good. I made a lot of putts. I didn’t hit the ball any better than normal but I hit my wedges pretty good and my putting was amazing.”

GOLFERS

Pals hopes his 3A state tournament performance will draw the attention of college coaches.

“Westin absolutely played his best golf over the two days of the state tournament,” said Lutheran coach Kevin Voltz. “In the four years I’ve known him, he has dedicated his life to golf. His goal has been to play in college and beyond. With his high school days coming to an end, I believe he put too much pressure on himself to perform and subsequently his performance suffered because of this. It all came together at the state tournament, having played the best high-pressure golf I’ve seen from him.”
