Charobee running for county board seat After Dore stepped down, all three commissioner posts are up for grabs

By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media

Elbert resident Charlene Morgan won the 2016 American Quarter Horse Association’s world championship title in ranch riding at the Adequan Select World, a horse show open exclusively to amateur exhibitors age 50 and older.

Morgan, riding a horse named SF Check Me Out, bested 72 competing entries Aug. 29 in Amarillo, Texas.

Morgan, 73, credited her horse’s calm disposition for their success in the ranch riding events, a class of equestrian competition highlighting a rider’s skill and a horse’s agility performing maneuvers that would be common in ranch work.

The resignation of District II County Commissioner Kelly Dore in August has created an unusual election season in 2016. With two commissioner seats already up for grabs, the addition of a third race for the District II seat has given Elbert County voters a unique opportunity to change the face of its Board of County Commissioners in a single year.

One candidate vying for the District II seat is Democrat Don Charobee.

Charobee is a graduate of Cleveland State University with a bachelor of arts degree in political science and a minor in economics.

Charobee He retired from a 35-year career in law enforcement as an officer and investigator and senior agent for the U.S. Customs Service While serving with Customs, Charobee worked as an operative, investigating child pornography, arms smuggling, financial crimes and white-collar crimes.

“I was also a manager and supervisor,” Charobee said. “I was into asset management, staffing issues and budget oversight at a regional level and also at the national headquarters.”

Running for county commissioner was something that Charobee always wanted to do, but was prevented by the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from running for political office.

“When I was asked, I was happy. Really, it didn’t matter which party would have asked, I would have jumped at the chance,” he said. “People in the county really seemed to be locked up on the little “D” or little “R” next to somebody’s name … You could put an “E” next to my name because I’m for Elbert County.”

Charobee believes his law enforcement and budgeting experience fills missing elements in Elbert County’s government around accountability and transparency.

“We have departments out there that are spending money they don’t have.

They are seemingly not responsible for the operational efficiencies or the project outcome whether it’s roads or health and human services.”

Charobee made reference to a recent visit to the BOCC by a citizen complaining about unpermitted structures in his neighborhood, and said that he has been

Workforce center gets the job done Elizabeth office offers help to both seekers, employers

By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media The Eastern Colorado Workforce Center held an open house at its Elizabeth office on Sept. 15 in conjunction with Gov. John Hickenlooper’s proclamation declaring September Workforce Development Month in Colorado.

“We offer help with résumés, mock

interviews, training, and provide a place where employers can conduct interviews,” said Cynthia Rule, employment specialist for the Elizabeth Workforce Center.

Computer workstations are also available to job seekers to update résumés, write cover letters, or even check email.

They can also search the Connecting Colorado statewide jobs database.

“Elizabeth has the friendliest workforce office in the region,” Rule joked.

The office is also a resource for employers seeking qualified applicants for open positions. The center helps employ-

ers identify their business’s needs, make job postings and conduct searches for candidates.

Marita Doty employed the services of the Elizabeth office to acquire new skills following a fruitless search for employment ending in 2011. Marita had been a long time aviation employee. When she was laid off, she began searching for work by contacting employers directly. After two years, she connected with Rule at the Workforce Center.

Outdoor goods chain opens in Parker Gander MTN opens outdoor-themed retail store in Parker

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike and Rachael Sundeen have driven past the new Gander MTN store before, but the evening of Sept. 13 was the first time they saw people going in. Though they didn’t have an invitation for the exclusive pre-opening event, they said the store’s staff was welcoming.

“We just saw people walking in, and they were very nice,” Mike said. “The staff said, “`We’re not going to turn anybody away, come on in.’’ ” Both Sundeens said they look forward to shopping for camping gear at the new store.

“Obviously, they have a big inventory, big store, it offers a lot,” Mike said. “It’s nice to have it here in Parker.”

The couple were among the first customers to see the new store’s interior at a “friends and family” sale. A ribbon-cutting ceremony preceded the official grand opening on the morning of Sept. 15, and the grand opening weekend continued through Sept. 18 with celebrity appearances and giveaways.

Store manager Jeff Long said all of the store’s employees are outdoor enthusiasts who look forward to sharing their expertise with customers. Long grew up on the western slope as an avid camper and hunter.

“We’re all about matching the individual with the appropriate gear,” Long said. “We’re a group that’s excited about the outdoors and we look forward to sharing

that passion with customers.”

Gander MTN was founded in 1960 as a catalog retailer in Wilmot, Wisconsin, and has become a major national supplier of outdoor recreational goods.

The store has 160 locations in 27 states, but the new location in the Crown Point development is one of only two stores in Colorado.

The new outlet is a massive 57,600 square feet, requiring a staff of 87 to cover the area. Most of the store’s employees transferred from its previous location in Aurora, a store known as a leader in the chain.

“I think it’s fortunate that we’re getting their best team,” said Dennis Houston, president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce.

Houston referred to the Aurora store’s rating as the number one store for customer service in the Gander MTN network.

The timing of the opening couldn’t be better, according to Houston and Long.

Long said the store has “micro-seasons” throughout the year as customers focus on shopping for camping, fishing and hiking supplies, but fall is especially busy.

“We’re about halfway through archery season,” Long said, “and we’re opening right before rifle and big game seasons.”

The opening will also help fill the vacuum recently created by the closing of Sports Authority.

“I think this will fill a void for some of those retail opportunities,” Houston said.

Houston added that so far the store, the town and the chain are a good match.

“They think they’ll be a good fit,” Houston said. “We do as well.”

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

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.

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 experts 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 help.

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 technology such as fluoroscopy 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 fluoroscopy, 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-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 720-500-1045.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking.

There is only 48 hours to go.

If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now.

Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief.

Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program.

The SecretTo 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.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most

Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”

Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging

Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of holistic digital imaging to guide the injection.

This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.

pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual.

Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program.

All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-

swered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain.

But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief

Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours.

If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain?

So call 720-500-1045 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community.

And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 720-500-1045.

If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

Antibiotic gel could tackle ear infections Researchers work on product after testing in chinchillas

By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press Parents know the frustration of trying to get that gunky pink antibiotic into a tot screaming from an ear infection. A onetime squirt of special ear drops one day might replace that ordeal.

It’s only been tried in animals so far — chinchillas, to be exact. But researchers reported Sept. 14 that an antibiotic gel coated the animals’ eardrums and slowly seeped inside to do its job for a week, clearing up an infection that usually requires a 10-day course of oral antibiotics.

“It’s always a full-contact martial art” to get youngsters to swallow today’s liquid antibiotic several times a day, said senior researcher Dr. Daniel Kohane of Boston

Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. A pediatrician and anesthesiologist, he studies novel ways to deliver drugs — and says when he describes the experimental ear gel, “people with kids get this right away.”

Easier dosing is just one goal. And importantly, if the approach pans out when tested in children, it also could help prevent development of antibioticresistant infections. Too often, parents stop treatment once their youngster starts feeling better, allowing lingering bacteria to bounce back stronger.

“If we can deliver the right antibiotic directly to the middle ear using a one-time dose, it is likely that we will have more effective therapy, with fewer side effects,” said Duke University pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Coleen Cunningham, who wasn’t involved with the new research.

“Further studies need to be done before we know if that is a possibility but the reported study is very encouraging.”

Middle ear infections — what doctors call otitis media — prompt at least 12 million visits to the doctor each year, and they’re the most common reason for prescribing antibiotics to children.

Doctors have long sought a topical solution. Yet the eardrum has a tough outer layer that keeps drugs from penetrating.

Until now, antibiotic ear drops have proved useful for middle ear infections only in children who have ear tubes that can route the drug past that barrier, Kohane said.

Now his team has packaged an antibiotic together with chemicals used in skin-penetrating drugs to temporarily open channels in the eardrum’s outer surface so the germ-killing ingredient could get inside.

A doctor would squirt the drug deep into the ear canal, where it would harden into a gel, sort of like extra earwax, to stay in place as it slowly released the antibiotic.

The experimental drug doesn’t contain the antibiotic used in that common pink liquid but a newer one called ciprofloxacin.

Researchers gave the antibiotic gel to 10 chinchillas — they have a human-like ear structure and hearing range — infected with a common bacteria. All 10 animals had their ear infections cured within a week, compared to five of eight chinchillas given regular ciprofloxacin ear drops as a control, they reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Researchers couldn’t detect the antibiotic in the animals’ blood, suggesting it wouldn’t cause typical antibiotic side effects such as diarrhea. Moreover, the gel melted away within three weeks, and the chinchillas’ eardrums appeared normal afterward.

Kohane hopes to begin initial human studies in about a year.

Duke’s Cunningham cautioned that researchers will need to study whether an antibiotic gel causes short-term hearing issues of its own.

More than a thousand people stood in the parking lot, dressed in blue, to pray and offer support for Brite and his family.

“It’s incredible,” Brite’s cousin, Brian Coates, said before the Sept. 11 event began.

Brite was in critical condition at the hospital after having been shot by a suspect police believe was suicidal on Sept. 2 near Parker.

Wes Crespi, owner of Coffee Cabin in Parker, came up with the idea for the vigil and promoted the event through social media. In a Facebook post, Crespi said he wanted to show Brite’s daughters the community was behind their father and that Brite was in an “exclusive fraternity” of heroes who sacrifice themselves to protect others.

Coates came from Oklahoma City to

Parker with his wife and two children to be with his extended family. He said he, Brite and Steve Brite, Dan’s brother, were close companions as children.

“Dan and his brother Steve, we all grew up together,” Coates said.

He added that he couldn’t speak for Brite’s wife and children, but he knew they were grateful for the community’s efforts.

“I’m sure they appreciate it,” he said.

Coates adding that if he could say one thing to the community, it would be an obvious, but heartfelt, sentiment.

“Just ‘thank you,’ ” he said. “You say it a lot, but, it’s just been overwhelming, all of the support, all of the prayers, the fundraising, everything. Thank you.”

The 20-minute ceremony was at times somber, at times joyous and at all times peaceful. Young members of the Brite family members waved to attendees from a west-facing window as the crowd cheered, prayed and sang, closing the event with a singalong of “God Bless America.”

A Parker police officer estimated the crowd at close to 1,500 people.

As Brite’s brother, wife and two daughters looked on, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock addressed the audience, thanking everyone for their continued prayers and encouragement. Spurlock praised Brite as an officer who “when called to duty, charged in to make sure no one else was harmed.”

Spurlock called Brite’s family “amazing,” and he thanked them for being “welcoming” to the community’s desire to “stand beside” Brite.

Parker Mayor Mike Waid read an essay from famed radio commentator Paul Harvey titled “The Policeman,” saying that police officers are “at once the most needed and the most wanted” people in the community. Waid then asked the crowd to “make enough noise to shake the building,” eliciting a loud cheer from the audience,

At a vigil outside Parker Adventist Hospital on Sept. 11, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock leads attendees in a wave to Detective Dan Brite’s family, who watched the proceedings from a fourth-floor window.

Spurlock thanked Brite’s family for accepting the community’s desire to “stand beside” Brite. before asking them to take part in a moment of silent prayer.

“It went off perfectly,” said Rachel Robinson, public relations director for Parker Adventist.

Robinson said it was a challenge for police and the hospital to ensure the campus could accommodate the number of people while maintaining access for patients, staff and other visitors, but she said she was happy the hospital could host the event.

“We’re just happy to be a part of this, and to show our continued support for the family,” she said.

Brite remained in the hospital’s intensive care unit. He may not have been able to see the people below him as they offered their support, but Spurlock said their prayers continue to make a positive impact on Brite and his family.

“You have no idea the power of that,” he said.

A dream, a goal, or just a fantasy Have you been dreaming about a beach vacation, a mountain home, a tropical island getaway, a new home, a new car, writing a book, or starting your own business? I know I have.

Now let me ask it a different way, have you been fantasizing about a beach vacation, a mountain home, a tropical island getaway, a new home, a new car, writing a book, or starting your own business?

You see there is a big difference between having dreams and goals and simply just fantasizing about them. Fantasizing about what you want most in life probably includes daydreaming, surfing the internet, looking at homes, browsing business opportunities, and writing books, music, or poems and lyrics in our head. But never actually doing anything about them.

Setting goals and fulfilling dreams may start with some of the same things that fantasies do, however, they also probably look very different. I write a lot about setting and achieving goals or turning dreams into achievable events and life-changing moments, and what I write about most or coach to most often is the specific tactics and executable actions that have to take place to turn our fantasies into achievable goals and objectives.

Now some of us are happy right where we are and very content with just living in

fantasy land, or on Fantasy Island for that matter. Where it’s nice to talk about and fantasize about what our life might look like or where we might want to live or retire, but when it comes to actually following through on it, we just can’t even take that first step.

Michael Norton Maybe we talk ourselves out of such WINNING fantasies because they WORDS just seem too risky, it could cost too much money, it will take too much time, it will be really really hard, it could take me away from my family or friends, or we can see our fantasies coming true for others, but there is just no way that our own fantasies and dreams can come true.

Well, what if we changed our thought process and started talking ourselves into the achievement of our goals and dreams?

It may be risky, but the bigger the risk the bigger the reward. It may seem like a lot of money, but with creativity and financing, I just might be able to pull it off. I am not going to worry about how much time it takes,

this is my biggest dream, I will make the time. Wow, this will be hard, but I know that I am up for the challenge. My family and my friends will support me, I know I can count on them. This isn’t just someone else’s goal or dream; I will own this one.

When it comes to taking action regarding our fantasies and taking the actions necessary to achieve them, the first thing we have to do is turn our negative self-talk into positive self-talk. It is so easy for others to talk us out of our goals and dreams, and it’s even easier for us to talk ourselves out of those same goals and dreams. So identify what it is you want to do or be or have; identify why you really really want it; and then fill your mind with positive affirmations on how you will achieve it. There are several next steps, but this is where it starts.

How about you? Are you being opportunistic and hoping an opportunity will fall in your lap? Or are you now thinking a little more strategically about how to turn those fantasies into achievable goals and dreams?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we focus on what we can achieve, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Here’s a vote for an end to political season Nov. 9, 2016, can’t get here soon enough.

The past two years have been an inglorious vaudeville featuring Meanness, Deception and Coarse Language.

I don’t talk to people like they do, and I don’t talk about people the way that they do.

My political root system is fairly shallow, so I won’t expose it here by naming names or decrying campaigns — or the characters behind them.

Unfortunately, there are only two names to name.

There should be more. I know that there are others in the running, but they are simply political trifles.

What if all you had to choose from was a Ford or a Chevy?

Or mumps or measles?

That’s what it feels like. Do I want mumps, or do I want measles?

I don’t want either one of them.

Day after day and into the night, there are political commentaries by some very bright people, as well as by quite a few whose bulbs burned out a long time ago.

Up from all of this we should have some splendid choices, and as many as you have at IHOP.

QUIET DESPERATION

Scrambled, over easy, sunny side up, poached, or Scotched.

Nope.

It’s runny or hard-boiled.

I have stopped watching the news.

I have stopped watching the debates. No more interviews.

I take it now in much smaller bites.

Online and in the newspaper. It’s not inspiring. It doesn’t make me feel good.

It depresses me.

I keep hearing Peggy Lee. “Is that all there is?”

New voters: Don’t despair. One of these days, it won’t be this grim. I hope it happens again in my life time.

During the week, the daily is now a twosection newspaper.

The front pages cover crimes and political

opinions.

The sports pages cover crimes and political opinions.

It’s true. Professional athletes are spokesmen and spokeswomen out of all proportion to their importance off the field.

But who in the organization wants to criticize an overpaid linebacker? He might pout, and ask to be traded.

I don’t care if the Broncos go 0-16, but I know that they are a near-obsession in these woods.

Stand, don’t stand, curl up in a ball, I don’t care.

My father flew 30 missions, and I could not be more proud of him.

The only holiday I observe is Veterans Day. So I stand.

If you want to take a stand by sitting, crouching, or raising a black-gloved fist, you go ahead.

America is not always beautiful. It took me a while to figure that out.

I watched police in the South using water hoses on black people when I was a kid, and Smith continues on Page 9

Remember that the best is yet to come I remember the moment well. I lay in a hospital bed in the ICU of a local hospital recovering from a successful neck surgery and grieving. I hadn’t lost any loved ones due to death or illness, and I wasn’t without a job or resources. It was worse — my youngest child had moved out of the house and into his own life. I felt adrift and without a sense of purpose, even with a successful career as a writer and artist.

I grieved because I was no longer “needed” to raise my children. They were capable and thriving on their own. When the nurse asked me if I’d like something to soothe me, of course, I readily agreed so I could dull the pain of my loneliness and sorrow. Then I asked her to find a Chaplain for me to talk to.

The Chaplain, Nora, arrived, and we had a wonderful visit. She was an older woman who had served her community through her work. We talked about the sadness I felt as I transitioned into the empty nest, along with my husband. Next, Nora told me about a book, “The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully,” by Sister Joan Chittister, a Benedictine nun, who is outspoken on

the topics of advocacy, justice, peace, and equality — especially for women. She is also fearless about the issue of aging. Sister Chittister challenged readers to examine the aging process, not as a thing to be feared, but to be embraced as there was, and is, so much more Vickie Krudwig to it.

“We don’t change as TODAY’S we get older — we just SENIOR get to be more of what we’ve always been,” she said.

Sister Chittister’s words moved me. Soon, I was searching for new ways to fill the new voids in my life, and find it I did. I looked for work in numerous organizations and eventually landed a job in a retirement community in Westminster where I could use my love of writing and the arts to help improve the quality of lives for residents. I no longer

felt “down” about aging, and instead, I became more excited about growing older. Yes! I said it! I became more excited about growing older. With aging comes possibility!

Our residents and many others in our surrounding communities are intelligent, and their lifelong experiences and shared wisdom have added a wonderful new dimension to my life and the lives of others.

They are proof that active engagement in life can have a positive effect on mental and physical wellness. Our residents are hungry for knowledge, and they soak up new experiences at LifeConnect University, Covenant Village of Colorado’s on-campus lifelong learning program. They love trying their hand at something new, such as beginning watercolor classes, fused glass workshops, bead working, writing programs, poetry sessions, music classes, and ecumenical programs.

Growing older can and will open us up to new possibilities, new social opportunities, and lasting friendships. In other words, life Seniors continues on Page 9

OBITUARIES PHIPPS

Lawrence Phipps III

October 28, 1933 - September 2, 2016

Lawrence Phipps III, realtor, rancher, horseman and flamenco guitarist, dies at 82.

The eclectic life of Lawrence C Phipps III ended on Friday, September 2, in Denver at the age of 82.

Born in Denver on October 28, 1933 to Lawrence C Phipps, Jr. and his second wife Bertha “Tooney” Richmond, he spent his early childhood years growing up in Denver and then at Highlands Ranch in Douglas County.

Following his parents divorce in 1938, he moved with his mother to Wyoming, living his teenage years working on cattle and sheep ranches near Sheridan and Buffalo.

Lawrence attended Pomfret School in Connecticut and then Princeton University, where he focused on Russian and Turkish language studies. After graduating in 1955, he served in Army Intelligence, stationed primarily in Frankfurt, Germany and additionally working as a translator during the 1958 Lebanon crisis. He was a natural polyglot, with a knack for languages throughout his life, speaking German, Spanish, and French with proficiency, in addition to Russian, Turkish and Arabic. He was a lifelong student of history, which developed his gifts for storytelling.

Following his service in the Army, Lawrence returned to Denver to begin his career as a

realtor and pursue other entrepreneurial ventures.

He eventually started his eponymous brokerage, Lawrence Phipps Real Estate, specializing in commercial real estate, and worked more recently as a broker for Rocky Mountain Realty.

He encountered flamenco music during his college years and it quickly became one of his many lifelong passions.

He studied guitar under gypsy prodigy Rene Heredia for 25 years in Denver.

In this era, he travelled to Spain annually to seek out flamenco artists and collect guitars. As a patron of the flamenco arts, Lawrence hosted travelling flamenco guitarists, singers and dancers at his Victorian house in Capitol Hill across the 1970s and 1980s. These years are remembered for lively Wednesday night parties every week, attended by people from all walks of life, where flamenco jam sessions would spontaneously fire up in the early hours of the morning.

Lawrence was committed to the life of a horseman since his teenage years. He was appointed in 1968 as Joint Master of the Arapahoe Hunt, a fox hunt revitalized by his father at Highlands Ranch and then relocated to Lowry Bombing Range.

Polo was another of his pursuits. He played for the Cheyenne Polo Club, one of the earliest teams on the Front Range, as

well as for other local clubs. In both the fox hunt and polo communities, he is remembered for introducing and welcoming an abundance of new members to the clubs.

He moved in the 1980s to the Quarter Circle Bell ranch in Elbert County, where he raised Limousin cattle until his death. At the ranch, he and his wife Marie resumed the tradition of weekly events by hosting Tuesday evening dinner parties for friends & neighbors over the last 12 years.

Lawrence is survived by his second wife, Marie-Pascale Foucault, a stained glass painter and conservateur from France to whom he was married for the last twenty years of his life, and his only son, Lawrence IV, from his first marriage to Suzanne Newton.

He is remembered by many extended social circles of friends and family for his sharp wit, animated spirit, and gift for telling stories.

Most of all, he possessed a cultivated curiosity about other people’s lives, continually making new friends by engaging any recent acquaintance with his inquisitive sense of humor.

Services to celebrate the life of Lawrence will be announced at: http:// beautifultribute.com/ lawrence-phipps-iii/ The family also welcomes remembrances made online at this site.

Barker Days brings drenched dogs to O’Brien Park

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

A

record turnout of dogs took their humans to O’Brien Park to swim laps, catch Frisbees and sniff everything in sight on Sept. 10.

“It’s been fun and crazy as always,” Hillary Roemersberger, fitness and wellness coordinator for Parker Parks and Recreation, said as she took tickets and checked in attendees.

Roemersberger said about 800 dogs were preregistered for the event, and Meagan Arvidson, deputy recreational manager for Parker Parks and Recreation, said about 1,200 dogs and nearly 3,000 people were expected by day’s end.

“Some of them don’t even have dogs,” said Arvidson. “They just come to watch.”

Canine attendees swam in the H2O’Brien pool, played catch on the

ballfield and chased Frisbees, balls and each other throughout the day as their owners caroused and checked out vendors’ booths.

Arvidson, who has organized the event in each of its 12 years, said her own love of dogs was the inspiration for the first Barker Days in 2004. But even she didn’t expect the response the annual playdate for Parker pups would receive.

“I originally just thought `Hey, let’s get about 100 dogs or so together at the pool,’ ” Arvidson said. “We ended up with about 500 or 600 dogs that first year.”

Dennis Phillips, who brought his 2-year-old son Tripp and their mixedbreed dog Potter, said it was the trio’s first time at Barker Days. But it won’t be their last.

Potter was “really enjoying being out here in the green grass with all of the other dogs, and it’s just really fun to watch them all,” Phillips said. “We’ll definitely be back next year.”

Tripp Phillips, 2, offers his dog Potter an easy catch at O’Brien Park during the Barker Days event on Sept. 10.

Cardinals hit ground running Elizabeth girls first, boys sixth at Sept. 13 cross country meet

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Elizabeth High School runners were not gracious to the visitors as the girls won the team title and the boys finished sixth in the team standing the Sept. 13 Cardinal Invitational Cross Country Meet.

The ground under the 5-kilometer course that looped around Elizabeth High School Stadium shook as hundreds of runners took part in the competition. Runners representing 26 schools entered the competition. There were four different races: boys and girls open divisions and boys and girls varsity races. w The course began and ended in the stadium, following a circular course up and down the hills in the area.

The red-clad Elizabeth varsity runners ran well.

“We have a good turnout this year with 18 boys and 11 girls on the roster.

The kids are working hard and running well,” Cardinals coach Alan Small said.

“Our girls team qualified for the 3A state race last year for the first time and we only had one senior on that team. Our boys team is young but they are running very well. I have high hopes that both the boys and girls will qualify for state this year.”

Cross country is an individual and a team competition. The first runner across the finish line is the medalist. But runners also earn team points according to where they finish in the field. The first finisher gets one point and the 10th finisher gets 10 points. A team can enter seven runners but the points earned by the top five finishers make up the team total and the team with the lower score wins the meet team title.

The sun was shining as the boys open race started but clouds rolled in from the west as the day went on. The varsity boys

were on the course when there were sprinkles of raindrops. However, because of the possibility of lightning, the girls race was started early, and about halfway through the girls race it was announced there was lightning within six miles of the stadium and people were urged to go into the high school building. The light rain fell on and off but the girls race was finished without another lightning warning.

The Elizabeth girls won the team title with a score of 80 points. Ashten Loeks was the first Cardinal across the finish line with a time of 20:55.8. The four Cardinal teammates completing the team scoring were Alaina Jones, who finished 10th; Brenda Jones, at 17th; Ella Benkendorf, who was 23rd; and Isabella Tebugge, who finished 25th.

The Cardinal boys finished sixth in the team standings with 136 points.

David Fine was the first Elizabeth runner across the finish line when he was second with a time of 17:19.9. The other

four Cardinal runners who completed the team scoring and their positions in the 141-runner field were Zachery Richardson, 16th; James Finken, 20th; Braydon Campbell, 38th; and David Lee, 62nd.

Ashten Loeks said she started running because she liked the fact it made her feel good.

“Running cross country is fun most of the time, but sometimes it is a little less fun when you are pushing hard in the third mile on a course,” she said. “I settle into my pace and just start passing the runner ahead of me. Cross country is a great sport, plus it gets me in good shape for basketball and for track in the spring.”

She said the season has been a little rough so far because she has been recovering from an injury. But she feels she is almost fully recovered. Loeks said her personal best time is 19:57 and her goal is have a time near 19 minutes to help her and her teammates qualify for state.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 19, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) After much traveling this year, you’re due for some settled time with family and friends. Use this period to check out situations that soon will require a lot of serious decision-making.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep that keen Bovine mind focused on your financial situation as it begins to undergo some changes. Consider your money moves carefully. Avoid impulsive investments.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to get away for some much-needed rest and relaxation. You’ll return refreshed and ready to take on the workplace challenge that awaits you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Confidence grows as you work your way through some knotty situations. Watch out for distractions from wellmeaning supporters that could slow things down.
