Englewood solidifies school board

Maddox preschool honored for Young Athletes program Recognition includes induction in Special Olympics Colorado Hall of Fame

Steven Leflar was chosen for the panel’s vacant seat

When Englewood resident Heather Roberts was in the third trimester of her pregnancy, her daughter Violet suffered a pediatric stroke on the left side of her brain. As a result of that stroke, Violet has cerebral palsy, a group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone or posture.

As Violet was attending Englewood’s Maddox Early Childhood Education Center preschool, Roberts introduced the school to the Young Athletes program in 2016 — a sports play program designed for children ages two and a half to seven years old who have intellectual disabilities and for those who are not disabled. Roberts thought it would be good for the school because it teaches inclusivity and helps students stay active. Since Roberts introduced the program to Maddox, it’s been so successful that the preschool was inducted into the Special Olympics Colorado Hall of

“It shows that (the Maddox Early Childhood Education Center is) leading by example of how everybody should be treated. It starts from day one,” said Roberts. “All of us need to be able to recognize differences, to have fun and not be left out.”

At Maddox, the Young Athletes program focuses on movement for all children. Students at the school who attend half days get at least 30 minutes a day of outdoor movement time while full-day students get one

The Englewood School Board is ready to get the ball rolling after a unanimous 4-0 vote on Nov. 14 to choose Steven Leflar for the board’s vacant seat.

Leflar was sworn into his position at a Nov. 19 Englewood School Board meeting. Rather than having an election, the board went through an application process to fill its final board seat after not enough people filed to run for the positions that would have been on the fall ballot. Leflar is joining Gary Manfre in replacing Kevin Ebert and Sharon Scheminske on the board as the two stepped away to focus on other responsibilities.

The Englewood School Board chose Leflar, who will serve as the board’s treasurer, from 10 applicants.

Getting in the spirit of the season at St. Nicks Yuletide die-hards find ‘magic’ at Littleton’s Christmas superstore

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

t’s hard to be a “Bah, humbug” type at St. Nicks Christmas and Collectibles.

The sprawling store at 5221 S. Santa Fe Drive, topped by a statue of Santa Claus, is perhaps the sole remaining Christmas emporium in the Denver metro area.

Though die-hards peruse the room after room of decorations even through the summer, November and December are “go time,” said Nicole Sealy, one of St. Nicks’ managers.

“We’ve got families who come back year after year,” Sealy said. “We’ve been here for 43 years, so some of them brought their kids, and now they’re bringing their grandkids.

Just stepping through the door brings that childhood joy of Christmas morning rushing back.”

St. Nicks is home to a few Christmas crafts that have otherwise fallen by the wayside, Sealy said, like hand-decorated ornaments, hand-tied bows and live garlands and wreaths.

For Vicki Larock-Lieb, who was shopping for Christmas trees with her grandsons, no place else compares.

“I love the quality and the staff, but it’s more than that,” Larock-Lieb said. “You can’t even put your finger on it. It’s just a magical place.”

Susan Aguilera, who works at St. Nicks year-round, ties a custom bow. The key to tying a beautiful bow, Aguilera said, is the same as the way to Carnegie Hall: “Practice, practice, practice.”

Time is your most valuable asset 1

What is your most valuable asset? Your home?

Your stock portfolio? Your business? I say it’s your time. With only 1,440 minutes per day, how we choose to spend our time and where we focus our attention deNelisha serves the same rigorous Firestone budgeting that managing money does, perhaps even more so. Money is a resource; there can always be more of it. But time is finite, and there is no getting back once it’s gone… or is there?

There’s a well-known quote by American author H. Jackson Brown that goes, “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”

But I want to challenge the notion that we all have the same amount of time each day. Think about it like this: I doubt Michelangelo had to mow his

yard. I bet Thomas Jefferson didn’t spend much time in traffic. And when Einstein showed up to the restaurant, they probably made a table available for him.

My point is this: though time is finite, it can still be bought and sold. Millions of Americans sell their time every day, usually in the form of an hourly job.

Quite literally, they are paid to sell their time and talents. Likewise, time can and should be bought, whenever available. I pay someone to clean my house, not because I don’t know how to clean, but because I get to spend time with my family instead of dusting and vacuuming.

This fact was understood by those listed above. Anytime spent away from their unique pursuits was wasted.

You don’t have to be wealthy to buy time. You don’t need to hire a staff of assistants to pick up your groceries, do the laundry, and tend to the garden.

But what little changes can you make to buy some time?

Avoid social media-

These platforms are valuable for staying connected to a point.

Be careful how often you engage.

2

Consider your commute-

Denver traffic is stressful! With modern technology, working remotely is the new normal. Is this something you can consider?

3

Mommy carpool-

It takes a village. Sports schedules can get overwhelming.

Rely on help from those you know and trust to help shuttle the kids around.

4

Outsource what you can-

Hate doing your own taxes?

Hire a professional. The money is worth the lower stress level.

Time is your most valuable asset.

And though time is technically finite,

there are ways to improve how you spend your time. Take a look at how and where yours is spent and remember, money is a small price to pay for time with our loved ones.

Her recovery team at Children’s Colorado custom-built her a plan that helped her come back strong — but it took more than that to finish her season ranked #3 in the region. That took grit.

E-470 ExpressToll customers continue to save License Plate Toll rates will remain level in 2020 STAFF REPORT

An ExpressToll rate freeze implemented Jan. 1, 2018, will keep 2017 toll rates in place for ExpressToll drivers on E-470 through 2020 after a unanimous vote by the E-470 board of directors.

According to a news release, the November 2017 decision of the E-470 board of directors to freeze ExpressToll rates marked the first time since the 47-mile user-financed roadway opened that tolls were frozen. The decision also included a reduction of the ExpressToll rate at Toll Plaza C (between I-70 and Pena Boulevard) by 25 cents. The reduced rate will stay in effect again in 2020, the release said.

“Due to E-470’s conservative fiscal policy and organizational management, as well as increased use of the E-470 toll road, the board is again able to keep tolls unchanged for the coming year,” Roger Partridge, chair of the Douglas County commissioners chair and E-470 board member, said in the

release.

In addition to freezing ExpressToll rates in 2020, the E-470 Board of Directors also voted to freeze License Plate Toll rates in 2020 at 2019 levels. Additionally, the board voted to move forward with the implementation of a two-year pilot program, to begin Jan. 1, 2020, for an ExpressToll rate restructure for three-plus-axle motorists on E-470.

The rate restructure includes a 5% rate reduction for all multi-axle rates and an additional time of day rate reduction for 3-plus-axle ExpressToll customers.

The 2020 toll rate freeze and three-plus-axle rate adjustment reflect the commitment of E-470 to remain fiscally responsible while supporting and improving the customer experience.

“The E-470 board of directors and leadership continue to be proactive in monitoring local market conditions that allow the authority to implement policies that represent value and savings to E-470 customers,” E-470 Executive Director Tim Stewart said in the release.

E-cigarette effect on teen smoking is far from settled Decline in tobacco use, increase in vaping not a simple tradeoff

BY MATTHEW PERRONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In almost any other year it would be hailed as a public health victory: The smoking rate among U.S. high schoolers took its biggest hit ever this year, federal figures show, falling to a new low.

Instead the milestone was relegated to a lone figure at the bottom of a government press release and went unremarked by anti-tobacco groups that have spent decades working to stamp out youth smoking.

It’s a new era in the tobacco wars — one in which the alarming rise of underage vaping has almost completely overshadowed a parallel drop in traditional smoking. And the pivotal question of whether electronic cigarettes are inadvertently helping to wipe out smoking among young people has become a polarizing topic: embraced by some experts, dismissed by others.

“Smoking is disappearing among young people and it’s a great public health triumph that we are failing to celebrate, much less even note,” says Kenneth Warner, professor emeritus at the University of Michigan’s school

of public health.

E-cigarettes typically heat a solution that contains nicotine, the drug that makes tobacco addictive. They are generally considered less harmful than cancer-causing traditional cigarettes. But there is little long-term research on the health effects of vaping.

With one in four teenagers now using e-cigarettes, underage vaping is universally condemned, and the federal government considers it an epidemic.

But Warner and some other researchers believe recent trends continue to show vaping’s promise as a tool to steer millions of adults away from cigarette smoking, the nation’s leading cause of death.

That potential makes the case for keeping e-cigarettes readily accessible for adults — even if a certain level of teen use persists.

But that approach is a non-starter for many tobacco opponents.

“When adults make policy gains on the backs of children, that’s bad, and that’s what the argument boils down to here,” says Dave Dobbins, an attorney with the anti-tobacco nonprofit, Truth Initiative.

Skepticism about benefit Even if e-cigarettes were responsible for the smoking decline among teenagers — which Dobbins says is unlikely — allowing young people to get hooked on vaping nicotine is not a

solution.

“I don’t buy the argument that these things showed up and magically changed the world,” says Dobbins.

Instead, he thinks the vaping industry has increasingly pursued young people as smoking has fallen out of fashion.

But no one disputes the decline.

The percentage of high schoolers who reported smoking fell to 5.8% in 2019 from the prior year, a 28% drop and the largest since the U.S. government began surveying teens, according to preliminary numbers released in September. The trend isn’t limited to one year or one survey.

A similar study conducted by the University of Michigan shows smoking among 12th-graders has plummeted 50% since 2015, the largest drop of its kind in the survey’s 40-year history.

The smoking rate for adults is roughly 14% and has been falling slowly for decades.

The decline among teens has been seized upon by vaping proponents, who argue it undercuts the gravest argument against the nicotine-emitting devices: that they act as a “gateway” to traditional smoking.

That’s the conclusion of a number of short-term studies that followed young people and surveyed their use of tobacco and nicotine. The prestigious National Academies found “substantial evidence” for the gateway effect in a 2018 consensus paper. And the Food and Drug Administration even uses the concept as the tagline in its anti-vaping video ads: “Teens who vape are more likely to start smoking cigarettes.”

For now, experts on both sides acknowledge there is no definitive evidence linking e-cigarettes to the decline in youth smoking. The question is clouded by too many long-term trends and complicating variables.

Teen smoking has been decreasing since the late 1990s and is influenced by government policies, public opinion, changing products and tobacco

industry marketing.

But for researchers who believe vaping is benefiting public health, the falling numbers make one thing clear: E-cigarettes are not driving large numbers of young people to smoke. The numbers suggest the exact opposite.

“The key point here is that it seems we have seen a drastic reduction in smoking,” says Dr. David Levy, a tobacco researcher at Georgetown University. “That’s clearly a good thing and it’s not something that we want to mess with.”

Washington in limbo The question of how to best regulate e-cigarettes remains unresolved in Washington. The Trump administration has recently backed away from an earlier plan to ban virtually all vaping flavors due to their appeal to teens.

No deadline has been set for a new proposal or announcement.

Levy and others favor targeted approaches to curb youth use, such as raising the minimum purchase age to 21 nationwide. They oppose sweeping bans and restrictions, which could impact use by adult smokers.

In a paper last year, Levy, Warner and several colleagues estimated that smoking among 12th-graders has fallen three times faster since an uptick of e-cigarette use around 2014, compared with the earlier long-term trend.

However, the authors did not conclude that e-cigarettes caused the decline and noted that it could have been influenced by other factors, such as anti-tobacco campaigns.

Brian King of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also emphasized that survey data cannot prove a cause and effect between vaping and smoking rates. Therefore, it’s impossible to know which teens avoided or quit smoking due to vaping, versus those who would never SEE VAPING, P20

by Kathy Muni According to a recent Harvard study, debt among seniors has never been higher. In 2016, nearly half of all seniors were carrying a mortgage, and more seniors are filing for bankruptcy than ever before, increasing 500% since 1991. Having a mortgage while retired can quickly gobble up all of your retirement savings or fixed income.

Thankfully, there is a solution available to senior homeowners to ensure you can live more comfortably in retirement. A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) allows you to live in your home forever, and never make a monthly mortgage payment. In addition, a HECM can even provide you with monthly income!

Problem with heights is just medium high

D

on’t look down.

I would rather not look down from high places. How about you? I don’t have it bad, and it’s not vertigo.

The misconception about Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Vertigo” is that QUIET vertigo is a fear of DESPERATION high places. It’s not.

Jimmy Stewart’s character correctly identifies it as “acrophobia.”

“Vertigo” just looked better on the marquee.

The art building at UCLA has eight floors, and my Craig Marshall studio was on the Smith eighth. I could walk to the end of the hall and exit a door where there was an overlook to the ground.

It crossed my mind I might be able to fly from there to the first floor, instead of taking the elevator.

W

There’s an art museum in New York I will no longer attend, even if I were to have an exhibition (highly unlikely).

The Guggenheim Museum designed

by Frank Lloyd Wright sits opposite Central Park.

Wright decided viewers should look at art by standing on a spiral incline.

The spiral incline goes up and up, and there’s not much to prevent someone from trying to fly from the top level to the first level except a short and easyto-climb-over wall.

Has anyone been to the Grand Canyon Skywalk?

How about the Royal Gorge Bridge?

I drove the “Million Dollar Highway” out of Ouray. Once. Nevermore.

I looked over and didn’t see a guard rail. I imagined the valley below littered with Buicks.

Comedian Steven Wright said he isn’t afraid of heights. He’s afraid of widths.

I am not superstitious and I have very few allergies. I know I am allergic to Broadway musicals, which is a

shame because I just heard that a film version of “Cats” is on its way.

Watching adults in kitty-cat suits would be a delight. Meow.

Unfortunately, Broadway musicals make me break out in mixed modifiers.

“Aunt Bee handed out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to all the kids in plastic bags.”

See? I am also allergic to flip-flops at the airport.

The most common allergies are milk, shellfish, soybeans, nuts, eggs, and Liza Minelli.

Here are some things to look for — and listen for — the next time you watch “Vertigo.”

Jimmy Stewart’s car is a 1956 DeSoto Firedome. I found one online for $4,500.

Kim Novak doesn’t speak until about a third of the way into the film.

The word “vertigo” is only spoken once. Listen for it near the beginning.

The film was poorly received when it was released in 1958. Many now

think it is Hitchcock’s masterpiece.

Hitchcock thought Jimmy Stewart’s age, 49, was the reason for the film’s poor box office performance. Stewart was 25 years older than Novak.

Looking out of an airplane doesn’t bother. Until it takes off. But seriously.

Actually, I don’t mind the view from an airplane, but I never sit in a window seat. I always reserve an aisle seat. It’s not a superstition: I just need the option of stretching one leg out into the aisle.

Yes, I have tripped a few flight attendants in my day. But it gives me a chance to find out if they believe in forgiveness or retribution.

Either way, I can get a column out of it.

What do you call a bird that is afraid of heights?

One thing tops gratitude — the gratitude leftovers

ho in your circle of family and friends really prefers the Thanksgiving leftovers over the actual Thanksgiving Day dinner or meal? Well you can count me as one of those who loves leftovers in that group. Whether it’s a late-night Thanksgiving snack or sandwich, or just heating up a plate of WINNING turkey with stuffing, WORDS cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy the next day, I really love the way the flavors come together after sitting for a few hours or a day or two.

I mean we no sooner finish the first round of desserts on Michael Norton Thanksgiving when the leftover clock starts to tick for me, and all five senses come alive. And that’s when I question myself, “Does having second helpings count as the start of the leftovers?”

Leftover gratitude works the same

way. The more we allow the initial feelings of gratitude and appreciation to settle in and get soaked up, and the more we share with others just how thankful we are for the people, places, and opportunities in our life, the more we will find that we are grateful for.

There is something special that happens when we do that too, and the sweeter, stronger, better, deeper, and more enjoyable our gratitude becomes. I mean just like those delicious and succulent Thanksgiving leftovers and morsels, we can almost taste the gratitude leftovers too, can’t we?

That’s right, we can taste the gratitude leftovers too. We can see the gratitude on the faces of those gathered around us. We can feel the gratitude in every tug on our hearts.

We can hear the gratitude in each shared word of love and appreciation.

And we can touch the gratitude with every warm embrace and hug.

As we drift in and out of napping between courses, watching football, and debating whether or not a second

helping counts as a leftover, we pay more attention to the gratitude and appreciation we just shared with one another. We can replay the sincere, loving, and meaningful words that we all used to show our love and gratitude, our love and thankfulness. And as we do, we begin to wonder, just like with the meal leftovers, “Do I get to take any of this gratitude home with me?”

It would be so easy if all we had to do was take some of those glass food storage containers, the ones we use for packing up our meal leftovers, and instead pack them full of gratitude, love, and appreciation. Then we take them home, let them sit for a day or two, and open them up again and enjoy the amazing and wonderful feelings we experienced on Thanksgiving Day. Only now, they taste even better, they feel even more wonderful, and the words we hear again sound even so much more beautiful the second time around.

I really do believe everything tastes better with a little time to settle and rest. A little time for full flavor

absorption. There is not one part of the meal I don’t enjoy again at some point, and yes, even the desserts. And what I have grown to appreciate most of all is how much more I am grateful for in the days that follow Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving holiday sets the stage for our expression of gratitude and appreciation, but the leftovers cement those feelings in our hearts.

How about you? Are you in the leftovers camp, loving the way everything tastes after a little more time and flavor absorption? Will you also enjoy some leftover gratitude and appreciation after Thanksgiving?

I would love to hear all about your Thanksgiving at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we enjoy all of the leftovers, the meal and the gratitude, it really will be a better than good Thanksgiving holiday.

to see that much interest,” said Jen Hubbard, first vice president of the school board. “It’s a good feeling to know that we’ll have a full board. I’m sexcited to have (Leflar) on.”

Leflar is a member of the Colorado Army National Guard, where he completes domestic operations, trains soldiers and works as a helicopter crew chief instructor. He graduated from Englewood High School in 1994 and has four children who attend school in the district — two of whom have eautism while another has Tourette’s. dLeflar says he has been amazed by the work Englewood Schools has done to support his children.

Teacher retention, keeping Englewood children in Englewood Schools and supporting Englewood Schools’ Academic Advancement Initiative are Leflar’s goals as a member of the school board, he says.

The Academic Advancement Initiative is a two-year project that prioritizes academic achievement and growth. It was created toward the end of the 2017-2018 school year and primarily focuses on Englewood Schools leaders and teachers. “(The Colorado Army National Guard is) always doing dynamic things, and I thought that skill set would transfer over well, partnered with my passion for Englewood. I just wanted to get in and find out how I can support the school district the best,” Leflar said.

The Englewood School Board is preparing to attend the Colorado Association of School Boards Convention where they’ll attend panels, meetings and network with others. The convention begins Dec. 5.

“We had so many strong candidates and everybody had different strengths. (Leflar) is a graduate of Englewood Schools,” said Caty Husbands, president of the board.

“That was one thing that was really important. We don’t have a member

hour. The Young Athletes program at the school involves obstacle courses, dancing, playing chase, running laps, playing with balls and more. When students participate in those activities, they don’t only exercise, but they learn gross motor skills and how to get along with each other, no matter who they are.

“We truly believe kids learn best during play. Our building philosophy is we teach academics and social emotional skills in addition to life skills,” said Leigh Pytlinski, director at the Maddox Early Childhood Education Center. “Being inducted (into the Special Olympics Colorado Hall of Fame) aligns directly with our belief that all children should be integrated together.”

Maddox opened in its new building at the beginning of the year. It has 232 children who attend the school and between 60 to 70 of its students have special education needs.

“They’re just one of the schools that have emulated the unified component and are making sure that every child is included, regardless of what disability they have. It’s a model program for the inclusive goal of ours,” said Mandi DeWitt, the director of the Young Athletes program at Special Olympics Colorado.

LIFE DOING YOUR PART from the

HEART SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Metro area offers wide range of volunteer opportunities during this season

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

N

o matter the skill level, interests or time constraints of Denver metro area residents, there is a way they can make a difference this winter.

Whether it’s donating time, toys, money or labor, many nonprofits in the area have unique and critical volunteer opportunities this time of year.

At Rosie’s Ranch in Parker, horses — used in warmer months to provide equine therapy to people with special needs — need to be walked and cared for.

“We have our horses year-round,” said owner Mary Stathes. “They still need to eat and get exercised.”

Caring for the horses could mean anything from hand-walking them to cleaning out their stalls.

“Typically, what people say is they come here expecting to give, not to get,” Stathes said. “They leave absolutely in awe of how much they received as a human being.”

Other animal lovers with a passion for agriculture can volunteer at CALF — Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation — in Castle Rock,

The Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation, or CALF, is located in Castle Rock and has a variety of ranch-related volunteer opportunities.

“This time of year, we have donkeys, goats, chickens and pigs,” CEO Brooke Fox said.

CALF’s goal is to connect people to agriculture through education, Fox said. The group hosts field trips, grows crops and teaches people about where their food comes from.

“Even though the work is hard, it’s reconnecting people to the land and just kind of helping have a better understanding of the basics of life,”

Fox said.

In the winter, the ranch needs help feeding the animals, cleaning out their pens and keeping the barn organized, she said.

Both organizations welcome people of all ages and skill levels but prefer parental supervision for younger children.

Helping the homeless Other opportunities fitting all sorts of interests are available at

The organization, which serves about 20,000 families every year, uses about 70 volunteers per day to keep their work going, said Barbara Penning, the director of volunteer programs and products.

During the holiday season, many of the consistent volunteers are traveling and unable to help, Penning said.

“Having a backup of people when our regular volunteers are taking some time off is huge,” she said.

These helpers assist in sorting food, clothing, bedding and shoes, accepting donations and leading teams for specific events.

“We have a wide variety of experiences,” Penning said.

From Dec. 9 through 14, the organization is hosting a free Holiday Gift Shop for the families they serve.

They will need volunteers to help stock the shelves and guide parents as they choose items for their children from about 30,000 donated gifts.

Helping seniors with snow For those who like to be active, there are also opportunities in many counties and municipalities to help shovel snow for elderly neighbors.

Arapahoe County’s Dig Out Your Neighbor program looks for volunteers who live close to seniors who can’t shovel their own snow, volunteer coordinator Nira Duvan said.

“It can literally be about the safety and security for the seniors,” she said. “There’s more of a risk for a slip and fall injury, which can be extremely dangerous for seniors.”

In some areas, people who don’t shovel snow in front of their property can be fined, so these volunteers can help seniors avoid such costs.

There are also similar programs through the city governments in Arvada and Littleton. Volunteers of America also has a Snow Buddies program serving Denver, Jefferson, Douglas, Adams and Arapahoe counties.

For many of these organizations throughout the Denver metro area, volunteers make their work possible.

“Volunteers are the backbone of our organization,” said Stathes of Rosie’s Ranch. “Anyone that wants to come and help is more than welcome.”

‘Destination’ is theme for Own an Original show Exhibit has 61 pieces on display until after Christmas

An acrylic on canvas

by Courtney Cotton called “Landing” in the 2019 Own an Original show, in which the theme is “Destination.”

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s Fine Arts Board has decided to add a theme to its open entry exhibits and for the 50-plus-year-old Own an Original. It is “Destination,” which opened on Nov. 22 and runs through Dec. 29 at the Littleton Museum. The board invited Gwen Chanzit, curator emerita of modern art and the Herbert Bayer Collection and Archive at the Denver Art Museum, to be juror for this exhibit.

The board has a statement about the theme: “American culture has idealized the saying, `It’s the journey, not the destination.’ A destination is the end point to which someone or something is going or is sent to. With so much focus on the journey, has the end point lost its meaning? What if the reason or objective of the journey held more value than the voyage itself ?”

A viewer of this exhibit

might speculate on Chanzit’s process. While many works in the show fit the “Destination” theme, one has to wonder ... it must have been hard.

Entries included 335 pieces by 133 artists, and 65 pieces by 61 artists were accepted for the show. Chanzit chose work by what best fit the theme and found it “incredibly difficult to decide.” She said “many fine works were not included because they did not fit the theme effectively.”

Chanzit did not see names or prices as she worked through images, supplied with artist’s entry forms. Did the theme make her job more difficult? She said: “Kudos if you’re in this show” and reminded those at the opening that “it reflects the taste of an individual.”

The Best of Show award went to “Landing” by Courtney Cotton, a large acrylic on canvas painting that did indeed suggest that quiet time

Parking is free. when one’s plane is sort of floating into land in a city — a magical feeling to this traveler. What’s next? Although one might envision a sort of city plan, the shapes, painted in golds, blues, browns ... are abstract. One can let the mind play and imagine objects perhaps, or simply enjoy the interaction of color and shape.

The technique shows skill and control of the medium and brush. It hangs to the right of the entrance.

Across from the Best of Show is the First Place winner, “Dreaming of Africa,” a painting in acrylic and resin

by Pat Finley, which speaks of sunshine and open space.

Second Place was awarded to “Beyond Ordinary Limits”

by Linda O’Neill. Third Place winner is “Wishbone,” an oil painting by Olga and Aleksy Ivanov.

Honorable mentions were

awarded to William Rohs for an acrylic and charcoal work on a panel, “Wonder of the Other Side”; to Katherine Walter for her acrylic on linen canvas, “Floating the Arkansas”; and to Barbara Veatch for the horizontal “Migration of Equus Ferus Caballus,” executed with pastels, charcoal, acrylic ink and collage.

Years ago, when the Littleton Fine Arts Board was first appointed, it was first asked to make some decisions about items that citizens wanted to donate to the new Bemis Library. The group soon found another mission, since exhibition space was planned in the new building — and the Own an Original exhibit was born.

Also in the thinking was a way to let area artists show off what they were creating and perhaps provide inspiration to viewers to consider gifts of original art. Half a century has passed by and exhibits have grown larger, moved across the street to the Littleton Museum and drawn artists from farther afield.

(Bemis exhibit space still has an ongoing series of smaller shows as well. Be sure to look when you are picking up books.)

Practical ways to help cut down on holiday waste For starters, save gift wrap and ribbon

BY KATHERINE ROTH ASSOCIATED PRESS

Americans throw away 25 percent more trash than usual between Thanksgiving and New Year’s — about a million extra tons of garbage each week, according to the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group devoted to helping people to be more environmentally responsible.

There are plenty of ways to celebrate the spirit of the holidays while giving a gift to the earth (and maybe your wallet) as well.

For starters, go with reusable gift wrap, and recycle wrapping paper and ribbon. “Gift wrap is top on the list of wasteful holiday traditions. An easy hack is to wrap gifts in unused maps, comics for kids or, for larger gifts, printed pillowcases. You probably have these things around your house already,’’ says Rachel Sylvester, lifestyle editor for Real Simple.

“Save every bit of gift wrap and ribbon that comes your way, and try using fresh greenery instead of storebought bows,’’ she adds.

Every year, Americans discard an estimated 38,000 miles of ribbon, enough to wrap around the planet

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

with some left over to tie a bow, according to NEEF. Sylvester says it’s easy to save on gift tags by writing the names of recipients directly on the gift, or colorcoding gifts by recipient. Let your friends and family know you’re opting out of single-use wrapping paper and gift tags this year.

Host gifts can also be more ecofriendly. For holiday dinners and parties, Sylvester recommends reusable drawstring pouches when bringing wine and other presents, and carrying homemade baked goods in mason jars or decorative, reusable boxes.

“They make great host gifts, do away with waste, and save money all at the same time,’’ she says.

For greeting cards, “I would suggest going paperless for holiday cards, which generally get trashed after

the holidays anyway,’’ says Sylvester.

“Your friends and family might rather have a card they can keep on their hard drive for the long haul instead of on their fridge for a week.’’

There’s a huge array of companies offering elegant electronic cards, among them PaperlessPost.com, AmericanGreetings.com, GreenEnvelope.com or JacquieLawson.com.

For decorations, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends opting for a living tree that can be planted outdoors or eventually mulched, and using energy-saving LED holiday lights. LEDs use around 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, and last longer, too, the EPA says.

Remember to reduce food waste and avoid single-use plastics. “When hosting parties and holiday meals, use real or compostable table settings in-

stead of plastics. And if you’re short on table settings, try a service like TableandTeaspoon.com, which delivers table settings in advance and then invites you to return the dirty dishes afterward,’’ Sylvester says.

Have recyclable to-go containers handy for guests to take leftovers home, and familiarize yourself with local compost centers ahead of time, so food waste doesn’t end up in the landfill.

For gifts, think outside the store: homemade crafts or foods, or experiences instead of stuff. Give coupons for things like cooking a dinner or babysitting, Sylvester suggests. For example, look to knitting, sewing, baking or creating art as gifts.

“Homemade is king,’’ Sylvester explains. “It’s fun to shop, but the gifts that will mean the most are those that come from the heart. Cookies in mason jars are going to be way more memorable than something you pick up on the internet.’’

Bea Johnson, author of Zero Waste Home, suggests homemade candles, soap or paper as other gift ideas.

Museum memberships, magazine subscriptions or gift certificates to restaurants or concert halls all make great gifts, she says.

And when you do buy concrete things, opt for durable, energy-efficient, recyclable, or things made of natural products, and consider gifts from thrift shops or things that encourage people to use less stuff, like reusable containers, suggests Johnson.

Kitchen tools, books among holiday gifts for young chefs Wide range of ideas available for young people who enjoy culinary life

BY KATIE WORKMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

Do you have a kid in your life who loves a good baking session? Who really wants to use your chef ’s knife?

Who is addicted to the TV show “MasterChef Junior,” and who uses words like “umami” in regular conversation?

There are many terrific gifts to encourage the fledgling cooks in our lives.

Cooking kits An all-inclusive cooking kit (besides the ingredients) is often a great catalyst for getting kids into the kitchen.

Handstand Kitchen makes a slew of them, including a Rainbows and Unicorns Ultimate Baking set, with cookie cutters, unicorn-shaped cupcake tray, spatula, frosting bag with three tips, and a recipe leaflet and sticker sheet. Other offerings here include the Out of This World spacethemed baking kit; a 17-piece Intro to Baking kit; and several matching adult and child apron sets.

Curious Chef ’s kits include a 17-piece prep set with bowls, measuring cups and spoons, and a timer.

Made for Me has kits for particular foods, such as a Beginner’s Pasta and Pizza Making Set for Kids, as well as a macaron set, sushi set and pancake party set.

Subscriptions Here’s a gift that leaves something to look forward to after the holidays are over. Options include: Raddish (think Rad Dish). Each month, a new kit arrives at your door filled with recipes, tools and activities that incorporate science, math, geography, language arts, nutrition and more. Comida Argentina and Family Date Night are two sample themes.

The kits are designed by teachers and chefs for kids ages 4 to 14, and each includes three illustrated recipe guides, a cooking tool (such as a garlic mincer or kitchen timer), and other materials.

Young Chef ’s Club. From the folks at America’s Test Kitchen, these monthly kits are also thematic. Kids ages 5 and up receive a box filled with family-friendly recipes, hands-on activities, and extras ranging from board games to tortilla warmers to special sprinkles.

Culinary Adventure Society. For kids who already know their way around a kitchen and are craving new ingredients and flavors to play with.

Up to four times a year, Zingerman’s specialty food store in Ann Arbor, Michigan, will send a big box of eight to 10 interesting and on-trend food

surprises. A box might contain maffe, a peanut simmer sauce from West Africa; Lisbon lemon marmalade; or a tamarind date sauce inspired by Somali cuisine, for example. A collection of writing on the foods’ history and culture is included.

Equipment A new smart kitchen tool is exciting, even empowering. Examples: Immersion blender. For a slightly older kid, it can be used to blend things like soups and sauces right in the pot. That saves you from having to transfer hot liquids into a regular blender or food processor, so it can be a safer way to puree things. Breville makes an All in One Immersion Blender that also transforms into a food processor, so kids can take on different levels of chopping as they get more skilled.

Ice cream maker. Just plain fun.

Cuisinart makes one in a variety of colors, with a 1 1/2-quart capacity and the ability to get to a frozen treat in less than half an hour. Get creative on flavors. Maybe enhance this gift with some sprinkles/jimmies.

Indoor garden: Kits include the Smart Garden , which allows you to grow herbs, tomatoes and salad greens. AeroGarden makes indoor gardens as well, as does Back to the Roots, including a mushroom-growing kit.

Cutting boards. Giving kids their

own cutting board makes them feel as though they’ve arrived. You can support Unicef.com by ordering one of many hand-carved boards, such as the teakwood Daily Grain from Guatemala, or the Beautiful Meal board from Thailand. Or memorialize a family recipe for a child on a cutting board: Carver’s Ridge lets you send in a recipe, choose a font and board size, and have your recipe engraved into a fully functional work board.

Ingredient ‘flights’ It’s fun to play around with a single ingredient in many forms.

Salt: Jacobsen Salt Co. offers an eight-vial set with exotic-sounding offerings like Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt, French Sel Gris Salt and Bolivian Rose Salt. Or try flavored salts, all featuring salt crystals from Oregon, and seasoned with ingredients like lemon zest, black garlic and ghost chilis.

Olive oil and vinegar: The worlds of olive oil and vinegar are both vast.

For starters, you can make new and different salad dressings all week long. O-Med, a small company from Grenada, makes lots of varieties, including smoked olive oil, yuzu olive oil and olive oil from Arbequina olives.

Encourage the kids to mix and match those with cabernet vinegar, rose vinegar and cava vinegar. Your family’s vinaigrettes with never be the same.

Misc. Private Legals Public Notice

Alliant Health Plans has notified certain members that some protected health information (PHI) may have been affected by a security incident at Magellan MRx Management, a vendor contracted by the health plan to manage pharmacy benefits.

On July 5, 2019, Magellan discovered that the email account of one of its employees had been sending out large volumes of spam email.

An immediate investigation revealed that several unauthorized mailbox authentications and connections originating from outside the United States had been occurring on this employee’s email account since May 28, 2019. It is believed that the unknown individuals were able to obtain the employee’s email log-in credentials through a phishing attack or other fraudulent means.

Alliant was alerted to the issue on September 30, 2019.

Magellan believes that the intruder was attempting to access the account solely to send out spam emails and had no intentions to retrieve or view member data.

However, Alliant is treating this incident as a breach because it could not be definitively determined any emails were accessed, viewed, or downloaded.

Magellan has informed Alliant that it has taken steps to further secure all employee email accounts and has implemented enhanced protective measures related to email account log-ons and authentications beyond the systems which were already in place. Magellan also determined that none of its other systems experienced any unauthorized access aside from the impacted email accounts.

Magellan provided a list of impacted members on November 4, 2019 and sent letters to notify them of the potential breach on November 22, 2019. The data that may have been exposed could have included the member’s name, patient/member ID, type of service, authorization ID, and diagnosis.

For more addition information, please email Incident@AlliantPlans.com or call Alliant’s customer service team toll free at 800-664-8271, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Honey: Bee Raw Honey has a beautiful nine-vial assortment of honeys ranging from floral and sweet to buttery to “barnyard.” The honey comes from different flower sources across the country, and sales help support artisanal beekeepers.

Kid-friendly knives One of the coolest things you can get a budding chef is a knife that’s safe for little fingers and that they can call their own. My son had one during the under-10 years that made him feel like a pro.

Curious Chef makes nylon, serrated knives with ergonomic handles for small hands and a very blunt tip.

Kuhn Rikon’s Kinderkitchen Essential Set contains two knives, one serrated, one not, and a pair of scissors for cutting herbs and vegetables.

Everything is child-friendly, designed in cute animal shapes, and made of stainless steel. Made for Me makes a beginner’s knife designed like a traditional chef ’s knife, with hollow edge depressions and a sheath for storage.

Books Lots of kid-friendly cookbooks and food books out there, for all ages. A few to check out this holiday season: From America’s Test Kitchen, “The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs” and “The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs.” All recipes are kid-tested. The little chef hat symbols let you know how much experience is needed for each recipe.

“Notes from a Young Black Chef ” (Knopf, 2019): Award-winning, 29-year old executive chef Kwame Onwuachi was raised in New York City, Nigeria and Louisiana. He started cooking at a young age under his mother’s direction, and tells an intense story of moving up through kitchens both gritty and elite. This memoir centers on the experience of being a minority in the culinary world, and finding a place in the sphere of fine dining.

“The Best American Food Writing 2019” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019): For more advanced readers, a collection of work from 25 writers, edited by cook, teacher and author Samin Nosrat (“Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat”).

Topics range from the queer history of tapas, a day in the life of a restaurant inspector, and a deep dive into beans.
