Castle Rock native, personal trainer at Rock Star Fitness, located at 727 Wilcox St.

About me I was born and raised in Castle Rock. I went to Douglas County High School. I grew up pretty normal, playing soccer as a kid, outdoorsy, camping, hiking, all those things. I was pretty active. I got into challenging myself with Tough Mudders — the 12-mile obstacle course up in the mountains.

Then I told my wife, who is actually my high school sweetheart, I wanted to look into being a personal trainer. It’s just a lot of fun.

Personal training I work with clients going all the way up to 91 years old, then clients in their 60s. I’ve got one gal with a double knee, double hip, shoulder replacement. We do a lot of post-rehab too — I’ve got a lot of injury clients. I’ll do about 30 sessions a week, so I’ve really only got room for about two or three more myself. I think it’s about 16 or 17 different people.

I got into it mostly just because of my own active lifestyle. I’ve always been the one to run, jump and climb. So it was something that I guess I kind of cared about. What I really like is, my clients impress me all the time. They are just the most amazing people.

When I’m not working I’ve always loved going backpacking with my wife and my dogs. Two dogs, one big and one small.

Cameron Davis assists a client through exercises at Rock Star Fitness in Castle Rock.

JESSICA GIBBS The Rottweiler has her own backpack too. That’s probably one of our number one go-to’s, along with rock climbing, day hikes. My most recent hobbies are fishing and woodworking.

My advice It’s all about consistency and moving forward.

You don’t have to be perfect for a month. You have to be OK for 10 months. It’s not easy, but give yourself a little slack. Always try to be a little bit better each week. People who set goals too high, they’re not even going to try to achieve it.

U.S. Rep. Ken Buck listens during a meeting with Indivisible members in Douglas County on Feb. 21.

‘Better communication’ is key to bridging political divide Douglas County Indivisible movement reaches out to Republican leaders

11000 S. Dransfeldt Road

Gretchen Simon and Timi Aguilar want to talk to their congressional representatives. About health care. About immigration. About women’s rights.

The women, both members of Douglas County’s Indivisible, a grassroots movement opposing President Donald Trump’s policies, also want to listen to what they have to say.

Two-way conversation is key, they said, to finding common ground.

Rep. Ken Buck, the Republican representing the 4th Congressional District — which includes Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Elbert County and much of the state’s eastern plains region — couldn’t agree more. That’s why he met Feb. 21 with the women and nearly 50 others from the group to discuss the Affordable Care Act. “I think they’re concerned,” Buck said of the Indivisibles. “I think they have a fear of issues that are happening in this country. I hope that at the end of the meeting I was able to reduce some of that fear.”

Not completely, Simon said, pointing to a lack of data and information about how the free market will provide better affordable coverage to the millions of people now covered under the ACA. “His reassurances fell short,” she said.

But now that the door is open, Aguilar said, “we look forward to a continued conversation with him on issues including immigration, education and other topics...”

National movement finds local voices Indivisible is a nationwide grassroots movement that calls to mind the Tea Party’s resistance to President Barack Obama’s administration.

Across the country, the organization has been tied to tumultuous town halls

experienced by Republican members of Congress. Some Republican leaders have accused anti-Trump protesters, such as Indivisible members, of being paid to disrupt the meetings. Indivisible members have denied that.

To ensure a civil discourse, Buck set some ground rules before his meeting.

“I think it’s unfair to expect a member of Congress to show up to a meeting and be yelled at,” he said.

He capped the meeting at 50 members from Douglas County Indivisible CD4. Indivisible members agreed to provide a focus by limiting conversation to the Affordable Care Act. “It’s not a forum for whining or ranting,” Simon said.

Above all, the group hopes to facilitate positive dialogue, Simon and Aguilar said.

Before joining Indivisible, the women were searching for an outlet for their voices.

Simon, 65, a lifelong Democrat from Castle Rock who participated in the anti-Vietnam marches in the 1970s, was looking for an organized band of activists. The Indivisible online guide for “resisting the Trump agenda” piqued her interest.

Aguilar, 48, of Castle Pines, had previously volunteered with Get Out the Vote and Democrat campaigns.

The two women participated in the Women’s March on Denver in January, an event that drew more than 100,000 near the Capitol building to advocate for women’s rights, gender equality and other social issues. They emphasized that for them it wasn’t an “antiTrump” march.

But “everyone wanted actionable steps outside of that,” Aguilar said.

The women found their answer in Douglas County Indivisible CD4, along with more than 280 other men and women, including Carolyn Williamson, 62, a lifelong Republican living in Parker. During the presidential campaign, “Never Trump” signs dotted her yard.

His election “appalled” her, she said.

“I feel like we need the Republicans to stand up against this new regime.”

Tom Popken, now living in Larkspur, retired from the Dallas police force in 2013 after a 34-year career.

A proclamation by Colorado Gov. John W. Hickenlooper declaring July 17, 2016 as “Law Enforcement Appreciation Day” was on display at the Feb. 26 law enforcement rally held in Castle Rock.

Rally gathers community to thank officers Police chief asks citizens to thank law enforcement when they see them

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tom Popken, now a Larkspur resident, was a retiring 34-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department when he moved to Douglas County in 2013.

He spent a little more than a year working for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office before taking a security job at Douglas County High School.

Popken had begun a new life in a new state, but when news broke of the 2016 Dallas police shooting that killed five officers, he and his wife, Mindy, drove overnight to their home city.

“We were watching it on TV, pretty sick,” Tom said. “Seeing all these

people I know running around and you can’t do anything.”

Popken attended vigils for two of the fallen officers, who he’d known. Mindy didn’t go in fear of the city’s security level.

“I felt like we were going into a war zone,” she said. “I was so scared.”

Yet, in time the Popkens found much more support in Dallas than they anticipated, she said. People sent letters.

They came to police headquarters to donate. It all brought Mindy to tears more than once.

Back in Douglas County on Feb. 26, the couple again saw support for law enforcement. A pro-law enforcement rally at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock gathered officers and citizens alike to remind peacekeepers that the community stands behind them.

“They’re our first line of defense,” Ruth Oldham said. “If they can’t feel safe and know that the community

supports them, what good does that do us?”

Oldham and her husband, James, drove to the event from Aurora. The couple said they travel to neighboring communities’ law enforcement rallies whenever they can.

“I just think it’s important for communities to show their support,” Ruth said.

Many officials spoke at the rally, which drew about 100 people, to thank folks like the Oldhams.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said it’s important for the community to have events that connect them with law enforcement, a sentiment echoed by Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley, who said an agency’s success is dependent on its relationship with citizens.

“It means a lot to us,” Cauley said of the rally.

Ron MacLachlan, a businessman from Denver, organizes the rally in Do you have any of these leg symptoms?

Douglas County each year, but also others throughout the state. He said the event’s message is a simple one.

“Everyone wants a safe environment to live in,” he said. “We forget about the huge perecentage of those who are out there doing the best they can.”

For Mindy Popken, the event could have been bigger.

“I wish there were more people here,” she said.

In her husband’s 34 years on the Dallas police force, he lost 37 friends serving in the line of duty, Mindy said, and she feared for his own safety on the job.

But, they’re grateful to be in Douglas County, she said, a place where support for law enforcement is strong.

That support is something law enforcement officers hope they’ll keep seeing in the future.

“If you see a police officer or a sheriff ’s deputy,” Cauley said, “just thank them for what they do.”

Love is in the air — and on the internet Online dating panel gets singles over 50 back in the game

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The modern dating scene can be tricky, but for singles over 50, many of whom are re-entering the game after a long hiatus, navigating the world of online dating can be downright scary.

Tiffany Curtin wants to assuage their fears.

Standing outside the event room at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock, Curtin, an adult literacy specialist for Douglas County Libraries, proffers a platter of exotic fruit.

“Can I offer you some dates?” she says with a wry smile that widens a moment later as the intended recipient gets the joke, and declines the date.

“If you’re going to a library,” she said, “you’re going to get some puns.”

Curtin acts almost like someone going on a first date of her own, pacing and hoping aloud for a good turnout for the session.

She wasn’t disappointed.

Almost 30 available attendees listened to tips from a panel of seven internet savvy peers on the often-confusing world of online dating. Topics

Chuck Ferrel and Jean Hart share the story of how they met online and fell in love during the Love is in the Air panel at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock. “You learn a lot about yourself” by setting up a dating profile, Hart said.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY ranged from how much personal information to share in a profile — name, rank and serial number, according to one panelist — to which sites are best depending on what type of relationship the user is seeking.

Panelist Chuck Ferrel, a 64-year-old Highlands Ranch resident, advised the audience to know exactly what they want out of a relationship before putting a profile on a site for all to see.

“You will be inundated,” said Ferrel, who met his fiancee online. “Use

the filter of your own values… That’s going to help you sort through the responses you get.”

Online safety proved to be the day’s hottest topic and was the primary reason Curtin organized the event.

She represents Douglas County Libraries on the Douglas County Senior Council. Adults over 50 make up the fastest-growing group using online dating websites, and many at the council’s last meeting voiced concerns about online security.

Irene Gore, 70, of Highlands Ranch,

A plate of dates is offered to a guest at the Love is in the Air online dating panel at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock on Feb. 18. The double entendre was referenced throughout the event, including the tip “the first rule of dating is that it’s OK to say no.” appreciated the tips on security, such as meeting in public, Googling any potential dates and not sharing her address.

“It was informative. I got different insights and learned different things about safety,” Gore said. “I’m preparing to get started.”

As the panelists and audience say their goodbyes, the platter of dates remains largely untouched. But Curtin, obviously pleased with feedback from her guests, isn’t fazed.

“That’s OK,” she said. “One of the first rules of dating is that it’s OK to say ‘no.’ ”

Construction of regional crime lab set to begin this summer Douglas, Arapahoe and Aurora pledge millions under 20-year contract

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For years, those working in the criminal justice system within Douglas County, Arapahoe County and Aurora have faced long wait times for forensic and DNA evidence processing at the state lab.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation, however, has faced a backlog of its own.

But help is on the way. Construction will begin on a 25,500-square-foot regional crime lab this summer. The facility should be completed by mid2018, officials said.

The lab will primarily serve the three local jurisdictions and the City

of Centennial, which contracts with the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office for law enforcement services. Other municipalities within Douglas and Arapahoe counties may be able to submit evidence for a fee.

“It really feels good,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurock said of the project.

In December, Douglas County commissioners approved spending more than $15 million to build the facility.

All partners have signed a contract pledging their participation in the project. A board of directors will be named from among local officials.

On Feb. 15, Douglas County officially purchased land on Meridian property near C-470 and Peoria Street to become the lab’s future home.

The cost-share plan will draw approximately $23.7 million from Douglas County over a 20-year period.

Nearly $16 million will come from SEE CRIME LAB, P33

County’s new law enforcement training center breaks ground Commissioner Lora Thomas opposes use of justice center funds for project

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County celebrated the groundbreaking of its Emergency Vehicle Operations Center project Feb. 23, a $6.5 million dollar project that will construct a new 1.6 mile-driving course complete with skid pads, four-lane straightaways, curves and driveways.

The new center at 8500 Moore Road — near Titan Road and Santa Fe Drive — will offer specialized driving training to the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and be available for other agencies and driver’s education companies to lease.

Chief Deputy Tim Moore of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office said

approximately 30 agencies say they plan to lease the track once it’s built.

Outside agencies, including local police departments, would be required to pay to use the facility.

Two of the three Douglas County commissioners, along with representatives from the sheriff ’s office and Lone Tree Police Department, helped celebrate the project on Feb. 23.

Also in attendance were Dave and Gail Liniger, Douglas County residents who founded the Denver-based RE/ MAX real estate company in 1973.

The project was kickstarted by a $3.3 million donation from the Linigers, roughly half the cost for phase one of the Emergency Vehicle Operations Center.

Absent from the festivities was District 3 County Commissioner Lora Thomas. Although the Liniger donation largely funds the project, it also draws from the county’s Justice Center SEE TRAINING, P14

Minimum first-year teacher salary will rise from $36,000 to $39,000

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an attempt to stay competitive with other school districts for new hires, the Douglas County Board of Education voted to raise the starting pay for teachers.

With a 4-3 vote Feb. 21, the school board approved raising the minimum salary for first-year teachers from $36,000 to $39,000 per year.

Board members David Ray, AnneMarie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel opposed the measure and expressed concerns about the impact the raise in pay would have on the morale of teachers already employed by the Douglas County School District.

“Why are we paying attention to the teacher we haven’t hired yet... before we pay attention to the teachers that are in our system,” Ray said. “It seems like we’re putting the cart before the horse.”

DCSD Director of Compensation Mary Chesla said the district has found it harder to hire new teachers in recent years and that the expense of living in the community is high compared to what teachers are paid.

“The cost of living here in Douglas County is prohibitive for first-year teachers unless their family has another significant income,” Chesla said.

Littleton Public Schools currently offers new teachers a starting salary

of $36,499, Jeffco Public Schools offers $38,000 and the Cherry Creek School District offers $38,146, according to a DSCD presentation.

The average salary for all teachers in DCSD is $51,274, according to 201516 numbers from the Colorado Department of Education. That amount is less than several nearby districts, including Littleton, Cherry Creek and Jeffco.

Ray, who served as a teacher and principal in the district for 25 years, said he believes it is tougher to retain experienced teachers than to attract new ones.

“My experience as a principal is that we would have tons of first-year teachers applying for a position, but to find that seasoned teacher or to retain a teacher in my school who has experience was a far greater concern,” Ray said.

But board member James Geddes, who voted yes on the new-teacher pay hike, said a $3,000 raise wouldn’t be as meaningful for veteran teachers who are already making a higher salary.

“If we took the (same amount of money) and tried to distribute it among the more experienced teachers, it is such an insignificant amount to them that it may not have the beneficial effect on the district that being more competitive for the first-year teachers coming out of college would be,” Geddes said.

Interim Superintendent Erin Kane said she recognized the need to increase teacher pay across the board, but said the raise in the starting salary was a step in the right direction.

“We’re conquering it a little bit at a time because we don’t have the budget to conquer it all at once,” Kane said.

Douglas County Republican Party names five officers

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Republican Party has elected five officers who will each serve two-year terms.

Tanne Blackburn, of Parker, will continue to serve as chairwoman. She was first elected to the position in August 2015. Blackburn is a Realtor with Coldwell Banker, specializing in seniors and singles in Douglas County and metro Denver.

“This has been the most unique year that I have ever been involved in — this last election,” Blackburn said.

“We’ve got five people on the board that are ready and able to recruit and rebuild so that we grow, because as you know Douglas County is growing by leaps and bounds.”

Abe Laydon, first vice-chairman, is

a firm shareholder of Burns, Figa & Will Attorneys. He represents clients in commercial and residential real estate matters. Laydon, of Lone Tree, also serves on the Douglas County Planning Commission.

Charity Garza served as an assistant district captain prior to becoming second vice-chairman. Garza, of Highlands Ranch, is a home-school teacher.

Stephen Allen, of Castle Pines North, was named secretary. Allen is a commercial litigation and creditor’s rights attorney for Silverman Borenstein Law Firm. He is also a director of the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District Board.

Daniel Brown, of Highlands Ranch, was elected last summer as district captain and now serves as treasurer.

Brown is a mechanical sales engineer.

Instrument-laden aircraft have been surveying the Colorado high country as scientists search for better ways to measure how much water is locked up in the world’s mountain snows — water that sustains a substantial share of the global population.

A NASA-led experiment called SnowEx is using five aircraft to test 10 sensors that might one day be used to monitor snow from satellites. The goal: Find the ideal combination to overcome multiple obstacles, including how to analyze snow hidden beneath forest canopies.

“It would be, I would say, a monumental leap in our ability to forecast water supply if we had this kind of information,” said Noah Molotch, a member of the science team for the experiment.

One-sixth of the world’s population gets most of its fresh water from snow that melts and runs into waterways, said Ed Kim, a NASA researcher and lead scientist for SnowEx. “Right there, it’s hugely important for people,” he said.

Snow has other consequences for society as well, including floods, droughts and even political stability when water is scarce, Kim said.

The key to predicting how much water will pour out of mountain snows each spring is a measurement called snow water equivalent. The global average is 30 percent of snow depth, Kim said — 10 inches of snow melts down to 3 inches of water.

But a single mountain snowbank contains multiple layers with different snow water equivalents, making measurement difficult. The layers were dropped by successive storms with different moisture contents, and then lingered under different weather conditions before the next storm covered them.

A further complication: At times during the winter, some snow melts, so water will flow through the interior of the snowbank, distorting or absorbing signals from remote sensors.

No single instrument can overcome all the obstacles.

“We have these different sensing techniques. Each one works to a certain degree,” Kim said. “What’s the optimal combination?”

Two SnowEx sensors will measure snow depth: Radar and LIDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging. LIDAR uses laser pulses to measure distance.

Four sensors will measure snow density: three other types of radar,

M

plus a passive microwave instrument, which detects how much of the Earth’s natural microwave radiation the snow is blocking.

Two thermal infrared sensors will measure temperature.

A hyperspectral imager and a multispectral imager will measure how much sunlight the snow is reflecting, which helps determine how fast it will melt.

Aircraft will take the instruments on multiple passes over two areas in western Colorado, Grand Mesa and Senator Beck Basin. Ground crews will also analyze the snow to verify how accurate the instruments are.

One key technology used to predict snow runoff in the American West is the Snow Telemetry Network, or SNOTEL, operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

More than 800 automated SNOTEL ground stations scattered across the West measure the depth and weight of the snow, the temperature and other data and transmit them to a central database. Federal agencies use SNOTEL to produce daily stateby-state reports and maps on how the current snow water equivalent compares to the long-term average.

Water utilities, farmers, public safety agencies and wildland firefighters track the updates closely to help predict how much drinking and irrigation water will be available in the spring and whether they will face floods or fire-inducing droughts.

SNOTEL collects data from individual points, but the “holy grail of mountain hydrology” is a way to estimate the distribution of snow water equivalent across broad mountain landscapes, said Molotch, who is also director of the University of Colorado’s Center for Water, Earth Science and Technology.

SnowEx could be a step toward that, he said.

Government agencies that forecast the spring runoff say satellite data on snow water equivalent would help them, although they base their predictions on multiple sources of information, including rain, temperature and current river flows.

The Colorado Basin River Forecast Center in Salt Lake City, one of 13 National Weather Service centers that predict floods or river shortages nationwide, uses some NASA satellite data now, hydrologist Paul Miller said.

Satellite images show how much of the region has snow cover and how much dust is on the snow, he said. Dusty snow is darker, so it absorbs more heat and melts faster.

Snow water equivalent data from satellites “would be another source of information that we could look toward as guidance,” Miller said.

“It would definitely be something we would monitor and we would explore.”

‘You can make a living doing this’

Portfolio Day at PACE gives critiques and techniques to young artists

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Carrie Glassburn stood in a conference room in the PACE Center in front of a projected photo of a homeless man holding a cardboard sign that reads “Starving Artist.”

“What kind of reaction do you get when you tell people you’re considering a career in art?” she asked the room full of high school students, most of whom want to be professional artists.

A few chuckles bubble through the room, and some students nod in appreciation.

“I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, or that you’re not going to have times where you’re eating some Ramen,” Glassburn said. “But you can make a living doing this.”

Glassburn, Parker’s cultural communications director, wants students to learn from experts in the field, so she organized Portfolio Day, a day-long event at PACE where students from Douglas County high schools received critiques on their work, tips on presentation and advice from professional artists on how to make a career doing what they love.

Doctor warns of ‘the silent disease’

Exercise, supplements, early detection keys to fighting osteoporosis

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Patty Thewes is glad she was in an automobile accident in January 2016.

“It was kind of a godsend,” she says.

Thewes, 64, broke her sacrum, the center bone of the pelvis, in the crash.

A resulting MRI revealed she had osteoporosis, something she thought she wouldn’t have to worry about for years to come.

“I was pretty active, and usually if you’re active and you’re taking your calcium, you think you’re OK,” the Castle Rock resident says. “I figured I was good to go until my late 70s.”

Like Thewes, Gary Harrison of Elizabeth knew he had low bone density after he saw a doctor for hip problems in 2012. But he didn’t realize he had osteoporosis until 2014 when he reached for a shoe and broke his rib.

“To be honest, I was surprised,” Harrison, 62, says. “I never thought men had (osteoporosis) until I found out I had it.”

Their reactions are common with many patients Dr. Kathy Vidlock sees.

Osteoporosis is a weakening of bone tissue often resulting in life-threatening fractures. Among people over the age of 50, it affects one of every three women and one in five men, Vidlock says. But many are still stunned to discover they have it.

“A lot of people are really surprised,” Vidlock, of Parker, says.

“There’s a misconception that it should cause pain, but it doesn’t unless you have a fracture.”

Sitting in her office at Sky Ridge Medical Center, Vidlock says the most important factor in preventing or treating “the silent disease” is detection, which is particularly difficult with osteoporosis because it has no symptoms.

Any woman who has gone through menopause and any patient over 50 being treated for a bone fracture should have a bone-density scan, Vidlock says. The DEXA scan — short for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry — can be performed by a patient’s physician to measure the bone density in the spine, hip and wrist and doesn’t require preauthorization from insurance providers.

“The problem is that most patients don’t have a bone-density scan when they have a fracture, or some know that it’s low and don’t get treated,” she says. “Then by the time I see them, it’s worse.”

Bone density begins to decrease when a person reaches their 20s. While that may make osteoporosis seem inevitable, Vidlock says there are steps to take to slow or prevent the disease.

One is medication. Harrison and Thewes both take injections of Forteo, a drug proven to promote bone density. But the drug, the only one on the market that creates bone mass, is expensive at $1,100 per month, and can produce a host of side effects.

BY THE NUMBERS

Dr. Kathy Vidlock displays models of weak, left, and healthy, right, bone density.

Vidlock’s mother broke a hip due to osteoporosis but has since recovered from her injury and improved her bone density somewhat with exercise and calcium and vitamin D supplements.

• Worldwide, one-third of women over age 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures, as will one-fifth of men over 50. People with a prior fracture have an 86 percent increased risk of a subsequent fracture.

• Osteoporosis accounts for more days spent in hospital than diabetes, myocardial infarction or breast cancer for women over 45.

• As many as 80 percent of high-risk individuals are neither identified nor treated.

• Osteoporosis and low bone mass are currently estimated to be a major public health threat for almost 44 million U.S. women and men 50 and older.

• It is estimated that 61 million men and women will have osteoporosis by 2020.

TOM SKELLEY

WHAT YOU CAN DO Risk factors: • Prior, non-traumatic fracture(s) • Family history of osteoporosis • Smoking • An average of more than three alcoholic drinks per day • Height loss • Early menopause Prevention: It is recommended that all women over the age of 65 get regular, biannual bone density tests. Dr. Kathy Vidlock said some patients, male and female, who were treated for a fracture after the age of 50 should be tested at least every two years as well. Other steps adults can take to minimize their risk for osteoporosis: • Ensure a nutritious diet and adequate calcium intake • Maintain an adequate supply of vitamin D. • Participate in regular weight-bearing activity, such as walking or lifting weights.

• Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke.

• Avoid heavy drinking.

Source: International Osteoporosis Foundation Even without medication, Vidlock says there are steps adults can take to slow or prevent the disease.

For starters, Vidlock recommends all adults make sure they are getting enough calcium and vitamin D. Most patients are aware of calcium’s role in maintaining healthy bones, but many don’t know they need vitamin D to help the body absorb calcium.

Another important step to take, literally, is weight-bearing exercise.

“Your bone tissue is really active,” she says, “it’s just like a muscle.”

A daily walk or hike, or lifting weights stresses bone tissue, which responds by growing in much the same way a muscle does after a workout. Cardiovascular exercise like biking or swimming may be great for the heart, Vidlock says, but it doesn’t stress bone tissue enough to promote growth.

But again, Vidlock stresses that the most important factor in treating osteoporosis is finding out if you’re at risk of having it.

“The takeaway is: `do you really know if you’re at risk?’ ” she says.

“It’s worth a visit to your physician to find out.”

VOICES Getting unstuck is about having the pluck to get out of the muck

WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

W

e all know what to do when certain things are stuck in life, right? I mean if we are struggling with a rusted nut and bolt that needs loosening, we simply apply a little oil or WD-40. If we cannot twist the lid off of a jar, perhaps we run it under warm water or give it a good “pop” with the palm of our hand to get it open. When the ketchup bottle is new we know just where to tap the side of the bottle in order for the ketchup to start flowing.

But what happens when we are the one who is stuck? Maybe we are stuck in a rut, stuck in a job, stuck in a relationship, stuck

in the mud, stuck in a belief system or judgment, or just stuck somewhere about something. If only WD-40 worked on any and all things stuck it would be awesome, kind of like pushing the “Easy Button” of life. The bad news is there is no “Easy Button.” The good news is that there is a solution, and we are the largest part of that solution.

There are three things to think about if we feel like we are stuck. The first thing is to think about how we initially got into the situation or feeling of being stuck. The second is to try and understand why we are remaining stuck in the situation or with the feeling. And then lastly, what will it take for

us to get un-stuck. We can almost think of it like this, where we were, where we are, and where is it we want to go. We just need to give ourselves a good “pop” to loosen the lid on our own jar of life.

So the first one is how did we get here.

Did we develop a habit early on and the habit has just become increasingly worse?

Or did we allow ourselves to slip into a comfort zone and just continued to get more comfortable with an uncomfortable or difficult situation? We have to ask ourselves these hard questions so that we can identify SEE NORTON, P15

GUEST COLUMN

everal members of the public are once again questioning the priorities of the Douglas County School District.

Although state funding to education is expected to increase slightly next year, it was quite a surprise recently to learn that significant cuts were being proposed for middle and high schools in order to fund struggling elementary schools. Major financial decisions that impact schools are typically vetted by the board of education before budgets are handed out to principals, but that did not happen this year. This lack of transparency

resulted in a parent-driven town hall meeting.

It’s important to understand that middle and high schools have taken the brunt of cuts over the last nine years.

Cuts to high schools in 2012, taken in the same year the district posted a $17 million operating surplus, forced all schools onto a new schedule that provided less instructional time for students. This decision resulted in the district paying $2 million back to the state of Colorado when a routine audit found that numerous students failed

I am going to ignore Lebowitz. I’ll get to that.

I try my best to write well. And I am not content to keep it to myself by, for example, writing a journal, which many artists do.

A couple of my professors required us to keep journals, and then when I became a professor I thought it would be a great assignment as well.

When they stayed with art, they were fine. But most of them wandered into some very private woods, where Trouble and Temptation were around every elm.

Passwords, wariness are crucial for online security LIVING & AGING WELL

ith the term “hacking” trending across news feeds all over the world, it can be helpful to hit reset, take a breath from the headlines and start at the beginning.

So … what exactly is hacking and what does it mean to me?

Technically, hacking can be defined as using a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system. But now, what does that really mean to you? One simple analogy would be, think of hacking and hackers as the new pickpocket.

OK fine, but why does hacking matter to me?

Basically, if you are a victim of hacking your data can be used against you. By using this data against you, people can access your money, files and other personal information. In short, hackers can pretend they are you and take advantage of you and your accounts for their benefit.

What can you do to protect yourself ?

First and foremost, use strong passwords. It sounds simple enough but it’s time to ask yourself some hard questions about your password

policy. As food for thought, the following commonly used passwords can be hacked almost instantly, “123456” “password” or the almighty “qwerty” (look down at your keyboard and you will see).

However, “Password!” becomes a password that will take a week to crack, “Pa33word!” would take closer to four weeks, “!Pa&&word!” would take close to one year while “Ihave2kids” would take just about 5 million years to be hacked. So if nothing else, update your passwords and consider using sentences.

The next thing you can do to protect yourself is simply to be careful about what you click on and open when you are online. In general, don’t click on unknown emails from unknown folks and don’t click on unknown links or unfamiliar pop-ups. As a general rule, consider clicking on a link like opening the door to your online home, if you wouldn’t answer your doorbell, don’t click.

Further, it is important to protect your private information online. Sharing the following information online can put you at risk: your

Social Security number, your bank accounts, phone numbers, birthdays and your address.

As a rule of thumb, if it’s not something that you would be comfortable sharing with a stranger, do not share it online.

And while this might be common sense, be smart about what you share on social media.

You would be surprised by the amount of breadcrumbs people leave for hackers or opportunists when posting comments or pictures of them and their family during their trips abroad.

With all this being said, it is good to be proactive about protecting yourself online. However, most hackers are not looking to target individuals, so while it seems very scary and sinister, simply do your best to protect yourself. And remember, “password” or “qwerty” might not be your best defense.

I was a loner in college. A loner sometimes looks for approval, however, which is one of our contradictions.

You can write something that outshines your actual personality, and get the attention you are looking for.

By reading this column, you might have the impression that I am a worldly, imposing, and distinguished man.

The truth is I haven’t been anywhere, and I resemble Burl Ives wearing unzipped pants.

My painting career, I’ve decided, is winding down.

Something will have to take its place.

You know? Idle hands?

I thought about opening a butterfly pavilion, until someone told me there already is one in Westminster.

I never learned carpentry, plumbing, or cooking.

But I can write.

I started to look at my options, and I wandered over to UCLA’s Extension School, and looked at their online classes for writers.

The first thing that caught my eye was “Beginning Writing for the Half Hour Situation Comedy.”

All past and current situation comedies are awful, and I didn’t want to add to the pollution.

Long story short, I enrolled in “Novel Writing I.” The course runs from April to June, and, no, we are not required to write a novel in two months.

We are required to write the first chapter of a novel, or about 3,500 words.

That may sound like a lot of words, but it’s only about the length of six or seven columns.

I’ll also be required to read and critique my classmates’ chapters, and to respond with measured discretion, even if something like “Shameless Honeymoon” comes my way.

Have you been to a bookstore lately?

The shelves are already full.

Artists and writers are followed by a persistent little dog named Ego. Without that little dog, you may as well go home.

I will keep you updated.

Sales and Use Tax, something Thomas opposes.

“My question is,” Thomas said at the Feb. 14 board of commissioners meeting, “if the taxpayers were told this money was going to be spent at the justice center for maintenance and operation at the justice center, and Moore Road is not at the justice center, my question to Lance (Ingalls) is, ‘Is it clear that this is an acceptable use for the this money or is it gray?’ “ In response to Thomas’ question, County Attorney Lance Ingalls read the ballot question in which voters approved an extension of the tax’s sunset in 2007.

The question stated the tax would be used “for the purpose of constructing and equipping a county justice center,” he said, “and related facilities.”

The board has historically interpreted “related facilities”

to mean buildings that support the justice center and law enforcement, even if they are not located at the justice center.

District 2 Commissioner Roger Partridge said he believed the ballot question was intended for numerous law enforcement activities “not directly attached” to the justice center.

“I feel very comfortable with what has been done in the past,” he said at the Feb. 14 meeting.

Partridge and District 1 Commissioner David Weaver upheld the traditional interpretation of the ballot question and voted in favor of awarding a contract to RE Monks, a construction company based in Colorado Springs, for the project.

Thomas voted against the motion.

“I would like to just say that I support this project. I understand the need for it,” Thomas said. “I wish that the sales tax resolution language had been more clear so I was clear on what the tax is supposed to be for, and based on that question, I will be voting no on this.”

what it is that caused us to be stuck in the first place. We may not like the answers, but with awareness comes the potential for action.

Secondly, remaining stuck in any situation or condition could be a choice, as many times we have allowed the situation to control us as we invite complacency into our lives. So now the questions become even harder. Why am I still allowing myself to be stuck in this situation or feeling like this? If I could be doing something else, be anywhere else, feel something different, why am I not taking any action to fix things?

Am I happy being or feeling stuck? These questions require courage and honesty. The good news is that the answers could help move us from potential for action to actual action.

The third element of becoming unstuck is the plan and taking action. Sometimes we have been doing the same things for so long we just keep doing them that way because that’s the way we have always done it. Let’s face it, change can be hard, and can be even harder for some people who are resistant to change or slow to change. But without the change, the cycle of stickiness continues and

contributes to where we have been stuck in the past. So if we want to change something, get unstuck without becoming unglued, we have to be able to take the actions and steps necessary to tap on the side of our own ketchup bottle and get some movement going to get us out of the rut and into the next groove of our lives.

Now here’s the secret: We already know what to do, don’t we? Knowing what to do is the easy part. Acting upon it is a whole lot more difficult. It is indeed a tricky, and yes, even a sticky situation. So let’s simplify this; look at what got us here; become aware of where we are and why we are still here; and then take action and do what we know is necessary to take us to where we want to be.

So how about you? Are you in need of a little or a lot of WD-40 in your own life or are you successfully moving through life’s sticky situations with ease?

If you need help with the plan and taking action I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can become unstuck in what seems like a stuck world, it really will be a better than good week.

to meet the minimum requirements for full-time status. Understandably, parents are concerned about this new proposal and the impact it will have on high school students.

All schools have significant needs, especially when it comes to attracting and retaining excellent teachers, addressing social/emotional health and student safety, and improving academic achievement. Furthermore, students in schools with lower enrollment have fewer choices, and often less individualized support, than their peers in a larger school. This is the situation that a number of Douglas County elementary schools currently find themselves in due to slower growth in student enrollment.

The Douglas County School District is calling on secondary schools to take a cut to supplement impacted elementary schools. The justification for doing so lies in the new market-based pay system that the district recently admitted is flawed and pays secondary teachers more than elementary. Now the district is turning toward the middle and high schools to absorb the higher cost for each teacher in their building without providing them adequate funds to offset the cost. The total cut for secondary schools was originally estimated between $2.7 million and $3.5 million, and then lowered after public outcry to between $1.2 million and $2 million.

Central administration could easily absorb this entire cut. In the current school year, Douglas County has budgeted $18.5 million more in central administra-

tion departments, not including special education, than they did just two years ago. The Douglas County School District has been working toward a costly goal to become a software provider by creating a customized software system. This decision has tripled the size of their IT budget in recent years. To date, efforts to launch the product have been unsuccessful, pointing to IT as a source for cuts.

The most important discussion that has yet to occur regards the impact of cuts on student achievement. Douglas County School District is no longer accredited with distinction. At the Jan. 3 board of education meeting, a district presentation regarding the implementation of new competency graduation requirements that are state-mandated for the class of 2021 showed that 25 percent of Douglas County students do not meet the state’s ACT requirement for graduation. This would indicate that additional resources should be directed to secondary schools, rather than using them as the source for more cuts.

The Douglas County Board of Education needs to adjust course, hold central administration accountable for massive increases in department budgets, and focus on providing a high quality education to all students in Douglas County. Prioritizing students over growing central administration budgets should be an easy decision.

Laura Mutton is a parent of two former Douglas County students and the president of the Strong Schools Coalition, a nonpartisan organization working to inform and engage the community to positively impact the Douglas County School District. She also works as an accounting software developer.

Catch a sweat with workout apps Five apps to help you get fit on your terms

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

n today’s nonstop world, prioritizing a workout can be challenging. Whether because of work, children, a spouse or friends, a sweat session often falls

second to other responsibilities.

But physical exercise is just as important.

According to Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit medical practice and medical research group, regular exercise helps control weight, combats health conditions and diseases, improves mood, boosts energy and promotes better sleep. Mayo Clinic recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise.

If you’re looking for a convenience factor, the answer is most likely in your pocket. Your smart phone has access to hundreds of workouts, allowing you to control where and how long you work out.

Many let you personalize the type of workout — strength, cardio, stretching — and the intensity.

Here are five smartphone apps, recommended by fitness experts, that provide a variety of exercises and are user-friendly.

Another benefit: They are all free.

Calm, available on IOS and Android, is a free wellness app that guides users through meditations and breathing exercises.

Sworkit offers 20 pre-built workouts, including strength, stretching, cardio, pilates and yoga. The free app provides video instruction and audio cues and lets the user pick the duration of the workout.

The Down Dog app guides users through a yoga practice with video and sound. The free app, available for IOS and Android, lets a user customize his or her skill level and preferred duration.

MyFitnessPal is a free calorie counter, diet and exercise journal available for IOS and Android. The app lets users customize a profile to include gender, age, weight and weight-loss goals.

Nike + Training Club

MyFitnessPal

The Nike+ Training Club app acts as a personal trainer, equipped with more than 130 free workouts ranging from 15 to 45 minutes. The app lets users choose components of their workout, including the intensity and the use of bodyweight, light equipment or full equipment. The app also offers fitness plans, including Start Up, a four-week program to get in shape; Lean Fit, a six-week program to build endurance; and Gym Strong, an eight-week, fullbody program.

Workouts are designed by professional athletes, trainers and celebrities, including tennis professional Serena Williams, soccer superstar Alex Morgan and singer Ellie Goulding.

For a look at some of the workouts, Williams and comedian Kevin Hart co-created a 15-minute workout called, “The Hart Serena” that focuses on back and arms. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles designed a 30-minute workout called “The Balance Program” that centers on total body strength.

For more information, visit www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/nikeplus/training-app.

The highly-rated app provides guided meditation and breathing exercises for those who need to de-stress. The app’s backdrop is rippling lake water with grassy hills and snowcapped mountains.

Money Magazine, a financial magazine published by Time Inc., named Calm one of its Best Free Health and Fitness Apps of 2016, noting the benefits of taking a 40-second break to focus on nature. Calm offers simple meditations and soothing sounds, including a crackling fireplace, thunderstorm, evening crickets and more. The app also has a variety of bedtime stories.

Calm’s website says the goal of the app is to bring “clarity and peace of mind into your life.”

For more information, visit calm.com.

Men’s Fitness, a magazine with exercise, health and nutrition advice, coined this app its Best Comprehensive Trainers app of 2016.

“Sworkit—a portmanteau of `Simply WORK IT’— takes a holistic approach to strength workouts without any equipment, and includes a custom workout builder designed for veteran athletes and fitness professionals to create and share custom routines (appropriately nicknamed `playlists’) from the app’s library of 170 exercises,” mensfitness.com says.

The fitness app lets a user choose what type of workout he or she desires, such as strength, stretching, cardio, Pilates or yoga. The user may also choose the duration of the workout, making it easy to squeeze in a sweat session around a busy schedule. The app offers video demonstrations by trainers along with verbal cues.

For more information, visit sworkit.com.

The yoga app is rated five stars in Apple’s App store with reviews including “thoughtfully designed,” “beginner yogi friendly” and “great at-home practice.”

Down Dog provides a studio-like experience with an instructional video and music playlist for each sequence. The app is easy to navigate and lets users customize settings, including the level and duration of the sequence. Each time a user practices, the app generates a new yoga sequence.

Down Dog guides users through vinyasa flow yoga, a range of poses that combine strength, balance and flexibility, according to Down Dog’s website.

“Vinyasa yoga also places a strong emphasis on the transitions between the poses, creating a flowing practice that’s synced with the practitioner’s breath,” the website says.

For more information, visit downdogapp.com.

The health and wellness app lets a user customize a profile with information including gender, age, weight and weight-loss goals. The app has everything one needs for a healthy lifestyle, including a food and water log, calorie counter and progress tracker. On the app, users can locate nearby fitness classes in a specific area and scroll through fitness articles on the homepage.

Dru Connolly, fitness specialist of the Highlands Ranch Community Association, said that nutrition and exercise go hand-in-hand, which is why MyFitnessPal is one of her favorite apps.

“Exercise alone can work, and meal planning/dieting alone can work… However, designing your meal plan and exercise program to work together is best,” said Connolly, who was a competitive figure skater for 20 years and studied exercise physiology and human performance in college. “My Fitness Pal has so many foods loaded into it to make it easy for anyone to be diligent with meal planning.

That, in addition to its fitness components, are what make it my favorite so far.”

The Nike+ Training app lets users choose from more than 100 workouts created by trrainers and professional athletes. The free app is available for IOS and Android.

Nonprofit program brings music to life for Colorado students

earning music doesn’t just give children the ability to create something beautiful — it also helps them with attention, attendance and comprehension of difficult subjects.

And this is why Steve Blatt, Colorado Public Radio’s LINER former community programs director, NOTES started the Bringing Music to Life nonprofit to put instruments in the hands of students all over the state.

“Seeing the difference it makes in kids’ lives is so great,” Blatt said.

Clarke Reader “I love seeing the changes it makes in their lives, especially when they realize what can happen when they get involved in music.”

To provide instruments to Colorado schools, Bringing Music to Life is hosting its annual instrument drive March 13-25. People are invited to drop off gently-used band or orchestra instruments at any of 16 donation locations across the state.

Last year, the organization provided 520 instruments worth more than $200,000 to 40 Colorado schools. Since the drive began seven years ago, more than 3,000 instruments worth more than $1 million have been donated to the state’s elementary, middle and high schools, with a focus on small and rural schools.

“You’d be amazed at how hard it can be for some of these places to provide music programs to their students,”

Blatt said. “Some people think music is just playing notes, but it’s so much more. Kids who do well in music do better in other classes, too.”

Donated instruments will be repaired and awarded to music school programs before the start of the 2017-18 school year. Students are responsible for the instruments they use during their time in their school’s band programs, which helps teach accountability.

One of the schools that has received instruments in the past is Northglenn Middle School, where about 80 percent of students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

“The generous donations have gone to students who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn an instrument,” wrote Katrina Proctor and Corey Stopperan, orchestra directors at the school, in a letter to Bringing Music to Life. “These students are some of the hardest-working young people I’ve ever worked with. The exposure to the high-level music that they’re getting in their middle school years will go with them for the remainder of their lives.

It’s been especially exciting to hear students talk about wanting to teach music or perform music professionally after high school.”

Title I schools are encouraged to apply for instruments through March 31 via an online application form.

People without an instrument can also contribute to the repair fund, to help repair and refurbish the instruments — the largest expense of the program, Blatt added. Even with the Colorado Institute of Musical Instrument Technology doing repair work at a 50 percent discount, it still costs

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Thundercat’s “Drunk,” released on Brainfeeder records.

Review: Simultaneously extraordinarily listenable and experimental, Thundercat (Stephen Bruner) ably displays why he is one of the best and most influential modern bassists on his third album. Big names like Kendrick Lamar and Pharrell make appearances here, but aside from Bruner’s virtuoso performance, his eccentric about $120 per instrument to get it up to snuff.

Variety is hallmark of art exhibit at college `Media Mixed’ exhibit will run until March 8

IF YOU GO “MEDIA MIXED” is exhibited through March 8 at Colorado Gallery of the Arts, in the Annex at the Littleton Arapahoe Community College campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton.

Gallery hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. The group of artists discussed “Professional Development” in a panel geared towards ACC students on March. 1.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Media Mixed” is a collective exhibit at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton by the five members of “To Expand Artists,” a metro area group of five non-conventional artists working in five different mediums. The show is installed with each individual’s work grouped together — aside from a clever introductory selection of five same-sized (24” square) pieces to the left of the entry, one by each artist — that demonstrates the choices of media and technique.

The visitor walks next to a collection of collages by Janice McDonald — from her new “Unboxed” series — an interesting approach. She starts with a collapsed, flattened carton from toothpaste, crackers, etc. Scraps of paper and painted images add layers of interest. The collection of smallish works interacts as one looks at the expanse. The color and pattern choices seem interrelated and make a pleasing pattern on the wall.

Totems by Mary Williams of Castle Pines are included with other sculptural wood artworks by Williams, as well as art in various other media by Janice McDonald, Victoria Eubanks, Carol Ann Waugh and Ken Elliott in the exhibit, “Media Mixed” at Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College through March 8.

COURTESY PHOTO Next, one finds the colorful wood sculptural creations of Castle Pines artist and organizer Mary Williams, who has a selection of her knobby “Totems” of varying heights, interspersed with several flat, polished works sculpted from wood, including “Drip Drop,” a 3’x3’ wall piece.

Victoria Eubanks of Denver works in the ancient encaustic medium — melted wax, with color added, which when used in layers, gives a depth and polish to her abstract pieces —

as though one were looking into a pool, or through thick tinted glass.

Fiber artist Carol Ann Waugh exhibits a series called “Decades,” a series of quilt-like pieces on black backgrounds. On each, a year (1960 is the starter) is embroidered in the top left corner, followed by a running series of events and names of people: Watts Riots, League for Spiritual Discovery … (1970) Pentagon Papers, Apple computer, test tube baby … (1980) Mount St. Helens,

Columbia, Beirut Barracks Bombing. Makes you think and bring up connections. Where were you?

Accomplished landscape artist Ken Elliott, who has his studio and home in Castle Rock, exhibits a selection of large oil on canvas paintings, including “View in the Foothills — High Contrast,” an elegant work. His website shows a versatile artist and author of a coffee table book of his landscapes. He also does printmaking, collages and monotypes and teaches workshops.

“While we have varying styles and content, our work speaks to each other and merges into a cohesive body of work,” says a group statement.

It’s pleasing to sit in the middle of the gallery and just let this handsome exhibit speak to you.

Residents look at creating space for arts

E

Survey will gauge interest in site that would nurture creativity

BY JODI HORNER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Artists and art-minded citizens from Elizabeth, Parker, Castle Rock and the surrounding areas gathered at the Parker Arts Culture & Events (PACE) Center on Feb. 22 to launch an Arts Market Survey.

The objective of the survey is to gauge the level of interest in constructing an art space in Elizabeth.

Such a space would potentially provide affordable housing for artists as well as provide a creative hub and community gathering center.

Mayor Pro Tem Rachel White said they hoped to receive 5,000 responses to the survey.

The idea of an art space was brought up when several members of the Elizabeth town staff were considering ideas for what to do with the “old Giesen’s lot” at the end of Main Street, said artist Jennifer Skalecke of Elizabeth.

Last April the Elizabeth Board of Trustees conducted a study to determine the feasibility of an art space for Elizabeth. The board then invited the Minneapolis-based consulting group Art Space to help them take the idea to the next step with the kickoff at the PACE. Art Space was founded in Minneapolis in 1979 as a nonprofit to give artists a way to have affordable housing and work in their chosen field. The organization is part of a new field defined as “creative placemaking”.

Wendy Holmes, Art Space senior vice president of consulting and strategic partnerships, gave a presentation highlighting what an art space is and how towns have come to define their own art spaces.

Holmes used PowerPoint slides to show examples from the 45 successful art spaces throughout the country. She noted the “symbiotic relationship between the ground floor and what’s happening upstairs” as a part of what makes art

spaces thrive.

Examples of art spaces include live/work spaces, commercial/retail/office spaces, and collaborative workspaces — which are membership-based and “allow the artists to use equipment that would be prohibitive for artists to own individually,” Holmes said A significant piece to the Elizabeth project would be the community space. Holmes pointed to flexible use spaces for community gatherings, outdoor events and performing.

“Everything is on the table right now,” she said.

“The reason we’re looking for so many responses is because the outcome will be based on a threeto-one ratio,” White explained. “If 90 people respond, for example, we will be able to act on 30,” she said.

“That’s why it’s so important to get as many responses as possible.”

Not every marketability study turns into an art space, Holmes said, but Elizabeth is at a point in its growth where it is feasible.

Sourcing the funds for art space projects is typically multi-layered.

As Holmes told the group, which is what ensures it will be affordable housing.

Four of the six core group members that make up the Public Art Committee, which strives to foster art and creativity in the Elizabeth community. From left to right are Dan Kelly, Rachel White, Suzy Sadak, and Susan Barkman.

“It could include potential tax credits, philanthropic sources, and first mortgages,” Holmes said.

Elizabeth Mayor Clay Hurst stated the town’s reasoning for pursuing an art space: “The focus of the board — our goal — is to make Elizabeth a wonderful place to live, to provide cultural enrichment,” Hurst said.

“The town is not trying to make a

Cranes create spectacular sights around Monte Vista While March 10-12 are the official dates for the annual Monte Vista Crane Festival, these amazing birds actually hang out at the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge and on neighSONYA’S boring farmland SAMPLER through the month — by the thousands.

It’s spectacular to see and hear them in flight in early evening and to watch them feed and dance in early morning and late afternoons.

Farmers leave food in the fields for Sonya Ellingboe them and parking areas are available in many locations. See mvcranefest. org for more information. Bus tours and lectures look to be pretty much booked on the festival weekend, but viewing is free and the cranes, which have a six-foot wing span, stay around to feed heavily before heading north to breeding grounds. (We try to go a week later — and stay in the Movie Manor Motel in Monte Vista, which is a trip in itself.) The wildlife refuge and other sites are nearby.)

Design and Build Museum Outdoor Arts is accepting applications for its excellent summer Design and Build Summer Art Internships through April 14. With a stipend, college undergraduates and graduating high school senior artists spend

the summer working in the MOA studio, under experienced leaders, on collaborative and individual projects, ending with an exhibit of their work.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sue Duff is her pen name and she is known as Sue Loeffler in Highlands Ranch, where she lives. She is a speech-language therapist during the school year and has been writing since high school, but a few years ago, a skiing accident required that she lay low through a summer, instead of being her usual active self.

So what can a writer do to keep boredom at bay? This particular writer invented a whole new fantasy world, peopled by the Weir. By the end of that first summer, she had completed her first “urban fantasy” novel, “Fade to Black,” which fans quickly discovered. The series has grown to four titles — “Stack the Deck” was just published. One more will complete the saga.

A segment on her website called

“A Secret World” explains about the Weir, who “have lived among humans for more than 2,000 years. (Many Weir believe it’s longer.) Their purpose has been to care for the planet. To guarantee that what exists below the surface is in harmony with all that roams across it…” But, of course, not everything always runs smoothly as the years move along…

Delighted fans awaited her for a book talk and signing on Feb. 15 at the Tattered Cover Aspen Grove — her fourth book party there. After drawings for some giveaways, including disappearing ink, she read a few selected passages from “Stack the Deck,” carefully chosen so as not to contain any spoilers as to the fate of favorite characters … One young man was especially worried over whether Ian Black survives. “He was still around on page 74,” she said with a smile, but she declined to say for sure … “It’s a dystopian atmosphere …”

How does she feel about having just one more to go in the series, someone asked. “I’ve been with these characters for four or five years-I like to hang

out with them — I like to hang out with people I have total control over!”

She’ll move on to planning the last in the series — and deciding who survives and who doesn’t, she said with a happy grin. She thinks she has a fifth title — “Dim the Lights.”

And she has an idea for a new series about a 15-year-old girl, who becomes anyone she touches … That could go in any number of directions…

Among her giveaways was a copy of “Tick Toc,” a Wicked Ink Books anthology of short stories by a group of seven speculative fiction authors, including Duff. (Several of her fellow writers from that book were at the signing party to cheer her on.)

She has another signing party scheduled at 5 p.m. on March 11 at the Book Bar in the Berkley neighborhood, 4280 Tennyson St., where one can enjoy a sip of wine while browsing. And in April, the next Wicked Ink anthology, “Off Beat,” with her story, “A Mistake,” will come out. She happily anticipates next summer, with its time for writing that fifth Weir Chronicle.

A unique twist on bridal shows gives back to community Centennial Un-Bridal Show raises money for single-parent, military and first-responder families

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chrystal Huskey had a vision for an unconventional bridal show. Rather than a traditional show, where guests pay money to scout an assortment of wedding vendors, she brainstormed a celebration where guests enjoyed food and drinks while mingling with industry experts and wedding-gown models.

She called it the Colorado Un-Bridal Show.

“A bridal show that provides a unique and engaging experience that gives back is what folks can expect from this campaign next and every year to come,” said Huskey, founder and event planner of Logistical Meetings & Events.

The Un-Bridal Show, held on Feb. 22 at the Falls Event Center in Littleton, was the final event of A Veil & Dress Blues, a giving campaign that supports the James Resource Network, a nonprofit organization that provides services for single-parent families in the Denver metro area, and Brides Across America, an organization that partners with bridal salons to provide wedding gowns for military and first-responder brides. The campaign raised more than $50,000 and reached more than 400,000 people on social media, according to Huskey.

Sandra Coen, president and founder of the James Resource Network, said she is pleased the campaign is bringing awareness to her mission. The James Resource Network is based in Centennial and offers resources and attainable housing for single-parent families.

“I’ve been really excited to see how much the bridal community cares about single-parent families as well as military and first-responder families,” Coen said.

Coen’s organization has helped many individuals, including Ashley Miller, who attended the Un-Bridal

Miller, a single mother of two children, was living in a run-down apartment in Littleton, she said. She shared a room with her son and her infant daughter slept in the living room. She applied for housing through the James Resource Network and within months, she was moved into a home in Centennial.

“The James Resource Network provides these resources to empower you,” said Miller, who hopes to buy her own home in a year. “That extra help helps me give my kids the life they deserve.”

More than 25 vendors donated their services for the Un-Bridal Show, creating an inviting atmosphere with food and drink, music and vibrant decor. One of the vendors was Maxine Cutts Alcott, owner of Alboom Inc., in Highlands Ranch. The florist provided a variety of lush bouquets for the wedding gown models.

Alcott said that her go-to charity is the James Resource Network. The organization holds a special place in her heart as she was raised by a single mother.

Donise Newkirk is the owner of A Berry in the Wild, a floral and event rentals service based in Castle Rock. For the Colorado Un-Bridal Show, Newkirk designed several stations with unique wedding themes, including Bohemian and steam punk. “I love having the ability to create something,” Newkirk said.

“To see the support for the single moms in the community and have them be embraced is phenomenal,” Alcott said. “It’s wonderful to have this experience.”

Another vendor was Crystal Goodman, manager of the Dessert Stand in Westminster. Goodman stood behind a table covered with bite-sized treats, including salted caramel cupcakes and brownies. The company is known for its dessert bars versus a tiered wedding cake.

“It’s a fun, different bridal shower,” Goodman said, “more relaxed, mingling of guests.”

Dana Sweetin, a photographer from Highlands Ranch, lent her services to the event because she comes from a military family. Her husband and two sons are in law enforcement.

“When I knew it was supporting that, I was all in,” said Sweetin.

At the Un-Bridal Show, several models stood on platforms in the ballroom

They wore flowing white gowns from Compleat Couture, a bridal salon in Centennial. The salon features thousands of dresses at discounted prices. And proceeds benefit the James Resource Network and Brides Across America.

Raffles and prizes were handed out throughout the night, including weekend getaways and spa treatments.

But the most noteworthy prize was a wedding package valued at more than $15,000. Mindy and Willie Walker, a couple from Colorado Springs, were the recipients. Willie Walker is a sergeant first class in the Army. The married couple didn’t have a wedding.

Mindy Walker, the youngest of five daughters, said she is looking forward to having her father walk her down the aisle.

“Our daughter asks us all the time where our wedding photos are,” Mindy Walker said. “I’m excited to celebrate with our family.”

Crystal Goodman, manager of the Dessert Stand, 7535 W. 92nd Ave., Westminster, stands behind a table of sweet treats at the first-ever Colorado Un-Bridal Show, an effort to raise money for the James Resource Network and Brides Across America. “It’s a fun, different bridal shower concept,” Goodman said, “more relaxed mingling of guests.”

‘Bonnie and Clyde’ musical brings excitement to stage in Littleton Town Hall Arts Center offers view of notorious outlaws from 1930s

IF YOU GO “BONNIE AND CLYDE” runs through March 19 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m.

Sundays. Tickets: townhallartscenter.org, 303794-2787, ext. 5.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“You’ve read the story of Jesse James of how he lived and died.

If you’re still in need of something to read, here’s the story of Bonnie and Clyde.”

This is the opening verse of a long poem written by Bonnie Parker, which has been copied and inserted into the theater programs for this month’s lively Town Hall Arts Center production, “Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical,” which runs through March 19.

A series of worn-looking wooden platforms are backed by a flat, weathered wooden wall backdrop — it might be a barn or an old farmhouse, and it serves really well as a screen for projection that play a part. The musical first played in La Jolla, California in 2009 and made its way to Broadway in December 2011 for a short run.

Director Nick Sugar gives the Town Hall audience a colorful look at the pair of 1930’s legendary young robbers — and killers — who might compare to some less than admirable types who make it into today’s TV reality shows.

They crave excitement and fame as they crash across the landscape.

Tim Howard (Clyde Barrow) and

Tim Howard plays Clyde Barrow and Ellen Kaye is Bonnie Parker in the musical “Bonnie and Clyde” at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton through March 19.

PHOTO BY BECKY TOMA Ellen Kaye (Bonnie Parker) bring solid voices and stage skills to the lead parts while Lars Lundberg and Rebecca Hyde make early appearances as young Clyde and Bonnie, giving a hint of the years to come.

Chas Lederer and Alison Mueller play Clyde’s brother Buck and his religious wife Blanche, who traveled with the poetry-writing Bonnie and Clyde, according to historic accounts,

although in this telling, the pious Blanche stays home running a beauty shop.

Bonnie and Clyde were delighted to see their names in print! “I’m gonna be like Al Capone,” Clyde Barrow boasted, while Bonnie Parker was beyond thrilled to read a magazine reference to her “ravishing red hair.”

Projections of newspaper reports on their crime spree and some his-

toric photographs play a part on the wooden wall as the pair runs amuck — and regularly heads home to see their parents.

Neither is pictured with any regrets for the lives they ended. The focus was on fast cars, big guns and money.

(They gave some of their stolen money away to poor folks and became heroes to some as they ranged across the country robbing small stores, gas stations and an occasional bank.)

But the stage version gives us a pleasing combination of rockabilly, gospel and blues music by Frank Wildhorn, with a live stage band, lyrics by Don Black and book by Ivan Menchell that paint a more appealing picture of a short period in the 1930s before they were surrounded and shot on May 23, 1934 in Bienville Parish, Louisiana.

One of many cleverly integrated projections is a newspaper headline detailing their demise.

Bonnie’s poem ends: “Some day they’ll go down together they’ll bury them side by side.

To few it’ll be grief, to the law a relief, but it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.”

Huskies hoops trend is on upward swing Douglas County’s 10-13 record for season is best in past nine years

T

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Despite Douglas County’s 80-48 loss to Cherokee Trail in a first-round Class 5A playoff game on Feb. 22, boys basketball fortunes are on the upswing for the Huskies.

Douglas County finished the season with a 10-13 record, which marked the most wins in a season for the Huskies since the 2007-08 team compiled a 16-9 record.

The Huskies’ setback to the Cougars was Douglas County’s second consecutive state playoff appearance.

“Overall the program is getting better,” said Earl Boykins, who completed his third season as Huskies’ head coach. “The program is getting better each year and we’re getting more wins. Now the next hurdle for us is to not only make the playoffs but at least get us a playoff victory.

“I’m happy with the way the guys have played not only on the varsity SEE BASKETBALL, P32

Douglas County junior Cameron Dunfee tries to maneuver for a shot during the Huskies’ Class 5A first-round playoff game Feb. 22 at Cherokee Trail. Dunfee scored five points in the 80-48 loss to the Cougars, which ended the Huskies’ season with a 10-13 record, which was the most wins for a Huskies team in eight seasons.

Class 3A Defending state champion Lutheran, seeded No. 15, will travel to Centauri to play Grand Valley in the first round of the 32-team Class 3A state tournament on March 3. The Lions were third in the Metro District tournament, beating Jefferson Academy, 70-28, dropping a 50-49 double overtime game to Colorado Academy and then edging Kent Denver 51-46 in the third-place game.

here was no use wasting time, so I popped the tough question to RJ McLennan early in the interview.

I asked the Rock Canyon senior if OVERTIME he is a skier or a lacrosse player.

To be fair, I knew he was a state champion skier who also plays lacrosse.

“I’ve dedicated most of my life to skiing so I’d have to say I’m a better Jim Benton skier than a lacrosse player, but I enjoy both,” McLennan answered.

On Feb. 24 on the All Out run at the Steamboat Springs Ski Resort, McLennan was skiing for the Evergreen co-op team and won the boys giant slalom at the Colorado State Skiing Championships.

He was the fastest during the first run in 51.60 and ensured the state title with a 46.17 time in the second run for an overall 1:37.8 showing.

“I went in feeling pretty confident about my GS skiing,” he said. “After the first run, I was in first and thought I could really do it my second run.”

McLennan injured his knee while ski racing in 2015 and had surgery.

Still he was able to play lacrosse last spring for the Jaguars. He scored 11 goals and had 17 points.

In the slalom state championship event on Feb. 25, McLennan finished 18th.

“On my second run, I straddled a gate so it wasn’t what I was looking to do,” he said. “I was looking for a podium in slalom also.

“It felt pretty good to be a state ski champion. I wanted to finish the high school ski season strong and I plan to go to CU next year just to go to college.”

But first, there is the lacrosse season, which starts for Rock Canyon with a March 10 game against Grand Junction at All-City Stadium.

“I will take a lot of good conditioning from skiing into lacrosse,” he said.

Spring is here After weeks of above average temperatures, snow and cold weather arrived just in time for the opening of practice for spring sports teams.

Spring sports practice started Feb. 27 for baseball, girls golf, boys and girls lacrosse, girls soccer, boys swimming, girls tennis, and boys and girls track and field.

Among the area’s defending state champions are Faith Christian (3A) and Valor Christian (4A) in baseball, SEE BENTON, P32

Local boys teams advance to Sweet 16 STAFF REPORT

Top-seeded Valor Christian and No. 2 seed ThunderRidge were two of the seven south metro teams to win secondround games in the Class 4A and 5A state basketball playoffs.

Winners of Sweet 16 games moved on to the Great 8, which will be held March 4. In Class 4A, Great 8 games will be hosted by higher-seeded

teams, while the Class 5A Great 8 will be at the Denver Coliseum.

Bruins are lone area team to make hockey semifinals STAFF REPORT

Cherry Creek, the 2015 state champions, has advanced to this season’s state hockey Frozen Four.

The top four seeds in the playoff bracket will play in the semifinals March 3 at the University of Denver’s Magness Arena.

The third-seeded Bruins will face No. 2 Monarch at 7:30 p.m., while No.4 Resurrection Christian meets top-seeded and defending state champion Regis

Jesuit at 5 p.m.

Winners will play for the state championship on March 6 at DU. Cherry Creek is 0-1-1 against Monarch this season, losing 5-1 on Jan. 21 and tying the Coyotes 2-2 on Feb. 8.

Danny Taggert scored two goals to pace Creek to a 4-0 win over Battle Mountain in a Feb. 24 second-round game as Ryan Bevan made 15 saves in the shutout. Joe Caputo and Diego Lovato scored third-period goals in Creek’s 3-1 quarterfinal win over

but on all levels of the program. We ask the players continue to get better each and every year and that’s what we’re doing.”

In the past nine seasons, Douglas County has averaged 5.8 wins a year with a 52-158 record. And 44.2 percent of those 52 victories have come with Boykins (23-47) as head coach.

“It definitely starts before the boys get to the high school,” Boykins said on the challenge of rebuilding a program. “The boys at Mesa, which is the middle school that feeds Douglas County, are starting to play more club basketball.

“Guys are starting to play more basketball outside of the school.

Steamboat Springs on Feb. 25.

Valor Christian dropped a 3-1 quarterfinal decision to Resurrection Christian after Niklas Ertle and Luke Lonneman each scored twice in a 4-2 second round victory over Crested Butte.

Mountain Vista also was eliminated in the quarterfinals as Monarch recorded a 4-2 win. Derek Nead scored both goals for the Golden Eagles. In the second round, Nead tallied in overtime to lift Vista to a 6-5 win over Castle View.

JP Perez scored twice for the Sabercats in the setback to Vista while Hunter Meissner had a hat trick and assist in Castle View’s opening-round 9-2 victory over Summit.

Matthew More and Nathan Compton scored in the third period to push Heritage to a 2-1 first-round win over Denver East but the Eagles lost 6-2 to Resurrection Christian in the second round. Compton scored one of the Eagles’ two goals against the Cougars.

Douglas County sophomore Davon Walker scores on a layup in the Huskies’ 80-48 loss to Cherokee Trail on Feb. 22 in a Class 5A first-round playoff game. Walker tied for a team high with six points in the loss, which ended the Huskies’ season with a 10-14 record. JIM BENTON

“I credit Trail, they did a great job of pressuring the basketball and unfortunately we had way too many turnovers,” said Boykins. “When you have that many turnovers, you can’t expect to win a game. We had more turnovers than made field goals.”

Justin Ritchie, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, led the Huskies against Cherokee Trail with seven points. Davon Walker, a 5-foot-8 sophomore, and 5-6 sophomore TJ Boykins each had six points.

Nate Scrivens, a 6-4 senior who missed the final four games with a knee injury, topped the Huskies this season in scoring and rebounding with 10.9 and 5.1 averages.

Walker scored a 10.3 point-per-game clip and handed out 2.5 assists per game. Junior Cameron Dunfee and sophomore Brendan Temple had season scoring averages of 8.9 and 7.9 respectively.

That’s what helped us improve. I just told our boys we have to work harder than we did last summer. We’ll be OK. Next season we’ll have a much better season.”

Douglas County, which dropped a 64-35 game to Greeley West in last season’s first-round playoff game, had nine underclass players on its roster

for the game at Cherokee Trail. However, it took the Huskies three minutes and fifty-three seconds to score in the first quarter after the Cougars jumped to a 15-0 lead.

The Huskies committed 23 turnovers in the game and Douglas County could never come closer than seven points to the Cougars.

Batter up There will be a meeting for teams interested in playing in the Colorado Senior Softball Association on March 8 at the Denver Elks Club.

The CSSA is for players 50 years old and older, and teams are divided into seven divisions based on competitive

level. The season runs from the third week of April until August.

Last year, there were area teams competing in the various regionwide divisions from Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Westminster, Englewood, Littleton/Centennial and Castle Rock.

Arapahoe County and almost $31 million will be spent by Aurora. The funds will cover operating and maintenance costs for the lab.

An equitable cost-share plan wasn’t suitable, Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth said. She said the officials who drafted plans for the lab didn’t just consider what each partner could offer financially, but also what they would leave with if the partnership dissolves after the 20-year contract.

Douglas County will largely fund the project through its justice center fund, a sales-and-use tax twice approved by voters for capital needs supporting the the center.

Douglas County will pay to build the lab but also retain the building if the partnership ever disbands.

son-Kluth said via email.

Although there’s no guarantee partners will stay beyond the planned 20year period, there’s also no guarantee more jurisdictions won’t ask to join.

In fact, 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler suspects that will be the case.

“This, I think, is the trend you’re going to see,” he said of joint crime labs.

Brauchler — whose district includes Douglas and Arapahoe counties and Aurora, the largest city in Arapahoe — said the lab enables local authorities to prioritize evidence, rather than wait in line at the state lab. And it’s money well spent, he said, stating the lab will increase efficiency, not only in evidence processing, but also in the court system.

His office will be contributing legal support for the lab, such as drawing contracts should more jurisdictions seek to join, and also a forensic handwriting examiner.

Overall, Brauchler said, the lab places control back into the hands of local jurisdictions.

“It gives us,” he said, “the advantage in the criminal justice system that this jurisdiction deserves.”

Night to Shine a crowning achievement Centennial prom event draws people with developmental disabilities

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young men and women stepped out of limousines, walked the red carpet, ate a catered dinner and danced the night away at the Night to Shine prom at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Centennial.

“This is my first prom,” said Nora Jacobs, one of the event attendees. “When I dance, I like to swirl and turn.”

Night to Shine, a prom for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is put on by Bethesda Lutheran Communities and hosted at Shepherd of the Hills. The event was sponsored by the Florida-based Tim Tebow Foundation, established by former Denver Bronco Tim Tebow and which works promotes special events for people in need.

The Feb. 10 event featured 456 volunteers and served 150 individuals. Prom attendees, all 14 and older, came from throughout the Denver metro area.

Beginning at 5 p.m., makeup artists, shoe shiners and hair stylists were available to pamper promgoers. As they made their way to the banquet room, they walked the red carpet, where they were cheered on by volunteers and smiled for the friendly paparazzi photographers.

In the back corner of the room, a caricature artist made cartoon memories for participants to take home. In another corner, flashing lights from a photo booth captured smiling faces throughout the night. Just outside the doors, limousines took promgoers on rides around the block.

After dinner, the music started and the dancing began.

“I like to boogie, but I really like to break dance,” Braden Cook said.

Everyone got crowned either king or queen.

And volunteers worked throughout the night to ensure an amazing prom for everyone.

Robert Harvey and Tammy brought style and class to the red carpet at the Night to Shine prom at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church on Feb. 10.

Anthony Ribes high-fives the welcoming committee as he enters the Night to Shine prom at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church on Feb. 10.

PHOTOS BY STEPHANIE MASON “It is a great way to give back to the community,” said volunteer Ashley Larson, a freshman at Lutheran High School in Parker. “My grandma works with people who have special needs. I really love them.”

The event was one of three in Colorado and one of 350 around the world on the same night, said Chad Wietrick, the West Central regional director of Bethesda Lutheran Communities.

Bethesda Lutheran is a Christian organization based in Watertown, Wisconsin, that helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities connect with their communities.

The community helped support the event: Chick-fil-A donated $2,000 worth of food for volunteers and community members gave hundreds of dresses. Photographers, makeup artists, limousine drivers, the DJ and caterers all greatly discounted their services.

The event’s $14,000 pricetag was covered by the Tim Tebow Foundation and private backers.

“We look at this as an opportunity to give to people with disabilities who never experienced the prom,” Wietrick said. “Everyone gets crowned as king and queen. It shows that everybody is loved.”

Better communication is key The volunteer group, the women said, devises plans to make their voices reach Washington. They write letters. They make phone calls. They set up meetings with their members of Congress.

Their goal, Aguilar said, is civil discussion on their top issues, which include immigration, women’s rights, the Affordable Care Act, the environment and Trump’s cabinet nominees.

Besides meeting with Buck, six members also met recently with a staff member from U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s office.

The Colorado Republican couldn’t be reached for an interview, but issued an email statement thanking constituents who contact him with thoughts and concerns.

“Their feedback allows me to do my job best and develop legislative solutions that benefit Coloradoans,” Gardner wrote.

Buck agreed. Such dialogue, he said, also allows him to address misconceptions about the Republican stance on

Contact: 303-751-5772.

Other information: A volunteer open house is from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, July 21, at the center in Franktown. During the two-hour orientation, prospective volunteers will get an overview of the services provided, learn about the volunteer opportunities, take a tour of the center, and talk with staff and volunteers. In addition, the $25 volunteer application fee will be waived for anyone who applies to be a volunteer during the open house. Volunteers must be 16 years old, pass a background check and be able to commit to at least three hours a week for three months. RSVP at www.ddfl.org.

health care.

Republicans won’t repeal Obamacare without a timely plan to replace it, he said. He doesn’t believe millions of people will become uninsured if Obamacare goes away. And, he added, Republicans do care about people with pre-existing conditions.

“I was trying to convey that the Republican majority in the House and the Senate are very concerned about providing good, quality health care,” he said.

The women would like to see more Republicans speak out against Trump’s actions the way Sen. John McCain from Arizona has.

But they agree with Buck that the meetings so far are a positive step in the right direction.

“It’s convenient for people to complain about what’s happening,” Aguilar said. “But it takes time and effort to engage with your representatives.”

Buck knows he didn’t leave the Indivisible meeting with many votes. But he does believe he left with members’ respect.

“The main conclusion that we all drew,” Buck said, “is we need to have better communication.”

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.

Carol Baumgartner, CMC, Town Clerk Legal Notice No.: 930694 First Publication: March 2, 2017 Last Publication: March 2, 2017 Publisher: Douglas County News-Press Public Notice INVITATION TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS The Cottonwood Water & Sanitation District (the “District”) requests formal proposals for design, construction and operation (design/build/operate) of the JWPP Renovation Project (the “Project”). This Project is being issued as an Integrated Project Delivery contract, pursuant to Section 32-1-1801, et seq., C.R.S. The Joint Water Purification Plant (“JWPP”), a joint facility of the District and Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (“ACWWA”), is a water treatment plant located at 8051 S Jordan Rd in unincorporated Arapahoe County.

The JWPP was originally designed and constructed with Reverse Osmosis (“RO”) as the primary treatment process, but has not been able to operate as such because of an excess of Selenium in the brine discharge (“concentrate”) from the RO. This exceedance resulted in a Discharge Permit Violation, and subsequent conversion of the JWPP to utilize Microfiltration as the primary treatment process. The JWPP Renovation Project will convert the JWPP to treat approximately 50% of the flow with RO, and approximately 50% of the flow with Microfiltration. The two treatment streams are then to be blended together prior to disinfection using an Advanced Oxidation Process, to deliver treated water which will comply with all State Primary Drinking Water Standards and TDS goals. The Advanced Oxidation Process equipment was part of the original plant installation, but is not currently being utilized. The concentrate from the RO and Microfiltration processes is then to be treated biologically to remove Selenium and meet all requirements of the current State Discharge Permit for the JWPP. The biological treatment is to be a passive treatment system to be located on approximately 6 acres of land adjacent to the JWPP.

The JWPP Renovation Project will include JWPP Plant Process, Piping, and Pumping Modifications to create a blended flow treatment system, and development, construction and implementation of a Biochemical Treatment System “BTS”. Following construction of the JWPP Renovation, the successful contractor will operate the JWPP for a period of 3 years with a process guarantee that the Project will meet the requirements of the existing Discharge Permit.

The Project will include initial design to at least a 60% design level for development and negotiation of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”). If the GMP and initial design are acceptable to CWSD, the Project will continue through construction and operation.

The Project shall be substantially complete by

Sealed proposals will be received by the District at its offices at 2 Inverness Drive East, Suite 200, Englewood, CO, 80112, until 5:00 pm local time April 11, 2017, and will be publicly opened thereafter.

The formal Request for Proposals (“RFP”) and Contract Documents for this Project will be available for distribution at this location on March 2, 2017 by contacting Kelly Conover at Kelly@mulhernmre.com, or at 303-649-9857.

A mandatory pre-proposal conference will be held on March 14, 2017 at 9:00 am at the District Offices. A walking tour of the JWPP will be held the same day of the pre-proposal conference. The successful respondent will be required to furnish the necessary additional bond(s) for the faithful payment and performance of the contract, as prescribed in the Contract Documents.

The Contract may be awarded to the respondent which the District determines will provide the best value to the District, in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the formal RFP. In order to perform public work, the successful respondent shall hold or obtain such contractor and business licenses, as may be required by applicable law. Before a Contract will be awarded for the work contemplated herein, the District will conduct such investigation as is necessary to determine the performance record and ability of the respondent to perform the size and type of work specified under this Contract. Upon request, the respondent shall submit such information as deemed necessary by the District to evaluate the respondent's qualifications.

The District reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals, to waive any and all informalities and to negotiate contract terms with the successful respondent, and the right to disregard all non-conforming, non-responsive or conditional proposals, and to choose not to award the Contract or postpone the award of the Contract for a period of time which, however, shall not extend beyond 90 days from the proposal opening date unless a different period is set forth in the Contract Documents.

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Denver - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain?

Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake.

Sounds crazy?

Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life.

When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again.

Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state?

Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in

theory exercising should help knee arthritis.

But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee.

It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs.

Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes.

Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out.

You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either.

What’s the answer?

In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary.

With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated.

The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.

But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint.

This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many ex-

help.

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected.

Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

perts believe it helps lubricate the joint.

Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.

And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain specific exercises can be a tremendous

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain.

This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results.

So what is the HUGE mistake?

If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse.

And that’s the last thing you want to do.

What are the two “smart moves?”

If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic.

If you are thinking about giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technol-

ogy such as uoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections.

Research shows that without uoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work.

If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible.

So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse.

And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced uoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

The Secret To Success?

The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy.

Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating.

This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment.

And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed.

What Is This Treatment?

This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA).

Those are big medical terms that basically means this...

When you have knee arthritis the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in

your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.
