TEODORA KAKHIANI

Fencing pro is STEM School Highlands Ranch coach From Bulgaria to Colorado I’m from the republic of Georgia. I was born in Bulgaria. My sister lives in Austria and my mom lives in the republic of Georgia. I was recruited to Penn State for fencing when I was 19 years old. I graduated last year. I studied communication — I really liked it. Now I do mostly all of the communications for the Fencing Academy of Denver. I started fencing almost 13 years ago. At the beginning, it was just fun, running around. It takes a very long time to actually become a fencer. I’m holding the European champion right now — I became it last summer. My college career was very successful. My individual record for NCAA is two bronze medals and one second place. A track record in fencing My favorite thing about fencing is you learn every day. Even though I have been fencing for 13 years, there is always something new to explore.

It’s constant growing all the time. The only skill you need to have is desire. Getting ready for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is more about the mind. Training here with the Fencing Academy of Denver is all I need. I’m not nervous. I want to win because I have put so much work in. I train twice a day. In my spare time, I work with elementary students at STEM School Highlands Ranch. I hope I’ll be at STEM for the entire year — I want to see the kids’ progress. They just need to remember the basics and that fencing is fun. I started when I was 12 years old — if I were to start as early as they are, it would’ve been much easier. My advice Go into fencing only if you like it and only if you have a desire to commit to it. You have to listen and believe in the coaches. It’s never to late to get started. To be honest, it’s a great workout because you are running around. Once you compete in one competition, it’s impossible to give it up. I can guarantee you will be hooked — at least that’s the way it was for me. If you have suggestions for My Name Is..., contact Ales DeWind at adewind@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

Brush fire near training facility burns dozens of acres More than 3,000 homes received pre-evacuation orders due to blaze BY ALEX DEWIND AND ELLIS ARNOLD STAFF WRITERS

Backcountry Wilderness Area director Mark Giebel credits “rapid” response time from several agencies in the Denver metro area for the minimal impact of last week’s brush fire. “The fire was quickly contained in a small area,” Giebel said. “None of the trail areas or program areas were impacted.” The 46-acre fire started late in the afternoon Sept. 15 near the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility, 6001 Ron King Trail. Firefighters, including those from the West Douglas County and South Metro departments, quickly responded to what has been named the Range 5 Fire, a reference to a shooting range at the training facility. A spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office confirmed the fire started near the shooting range. No injuries or damage to structures were reported. The cause of the fire remained under investigation as of Sept. 18, according to authorities. 1 9/11/2017 2:00:46 PM The fireLTAC_CCM_9.15.17.pdf prompted a pre-evacuation

their cause. Residents quickly took to Facebook to express concerns and get updates. Several people posted about the smoke, which was visible from miles away. Sudha Chandrasekhara, who lives in Firelight, a neighborhood north of the Backcountry, recalls smelling smoke and feeling scared. “We had packed our bags to leave for our friend’s house in Centennial,” she said.

The fire did not grow overnight, the sheriff ’s office said on Twitter. More than 200 crew members were on scene the morning of Sept. 16, with air support on standby. Firefighters spent the morning searching for hot spots and burning logs and digging a dirt line to prevent the fire from spreading, South Metro Fire Rescue said on Twitter. The fire was 100 percent contained that afternoon.

Oktoberfest coming to Highlands Ranch Festivities begin with a 5K at Town Center South BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A day of German food, family fun and plenty of beer is right around the corner as Oktoberfest takes place on Sept. 23. Hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association, the day begins at 9 a.m. with a 5K at Town Center South, 9352 Dorchester St. Participants are encouraged to wear lederhosen, along with walking or running shoes. From 2-10 p.m. is a celebration with authentic German food — hot dogs, pretzels, sausage, mustard — Paulaner beers, live music and kid-friendly games. The annual dachshund races begin at 3 p.m. sharp. Owners can register their pups from 2:30-3 p.m. The best-dressed dachshund will receive a prize. Then, starting at 5 p.m., guests can participate in a German Ninja Warrior Competition with an obstacle course and prizes. The day is a “family-friendly

cultural experience” for the Highlands Ranch community, said Jamie Noebel, the HRCA’s director of community relations. Oktoberfest originated in Bavaria, Germany in 1810 as a wedding celebration of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The royal couple invited the citizens of Munich to celebrate the festivities, which concluded with horse races, according to History. com. The celebration grew to include games, rides, music and beer. Today, the festival, held in Munich, Bavaria, is the largest in the world with more than 6 million guests, according to a German tourist webpage. The holiday begins in late September and lasts until the first Sunday in October. Highlands Ranch gets a taste of Oktoberfest one day of the year. Aurora-based Helga’s German Restaurant and Deli provides the food. The Average German Band and dance band Deja Blu provide the tunes. “Join us,” Noebel said, “and celebrate with us right here in the Ranch.”

Central Park development making headway Businesses begin to open in northwest Highlands Ranch BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Central Park is taking shape in northwest Highlands Ranch as a hospital progresses, restaurants are announced, a fitness studio opens and single-family homes emerge. Owned by Shea Properties, the 100-acre property sits east of Lucent Boulevard and south of Town Center Drive. At completion in early 2018, it will encompass a six-story UCHealth hospital, regional park, communication tower for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and retail, recreation and commercial buildings. As buildings pop up left and right, residents may be wondering what services will be offered in the new development. Below are three things to know. Exercise Central Park appears to have a focus on fitness. A ballet-inspired workout studio, barre3, opened its doors Sept. 14. The franchise is one of three in Colorado — others are in Denver — that offer hour-long group classes with a focus on lowimpact movements. Classes, which can be performed barefoot, include isometric holds and small- and largerange movements. The full-body workout tones and lengthens muscles, according to barre3.com. Orange Theory, a workout studio that offers high-intensity interval classes, is a tenant of the same building, two spaces to the right of barre3. It will be the second location in Highlands Ranch — the other is on South University Boulevard — though its open date is unknown. The 60-minute classes monitor heart rate and incorporate treadmills, rowing machines, suspension unit systems, benches and free weights. Food Central Park will bring new cuisine to the community. Old Chicago is slated to open on Oct. 30. The restaurant known for its taproom and pizza will have garage doors that open up to an outdoor patio. The bar, with 40 tap handles, will sit in

The first business in Central Park is barre3, a full-body workout using a ballet bar, which opened on Sept. 14. The newest location, at 1493 Park Central Drive, Suite 100, is one of three in Colorado. The other two are in Denver. the center of the one-story building. There will be “lots of TVs, lots of beer and lots of pizza,” said Dominique Romero, a spokeswoman for Old Chicago. Rock Bottom, a restaurant and brewery under the same owner as Old Chicago, is also coming to Central Park. Scheduled to open in February 2018, Rock Bottom’s beer is made on site and the menu is extensive. A salad and sandwich

chain called MAD Greens also is coming. The casual and quick restaurant has a juice bar, paninis, wraps, soups and made-to-order options. The opening date is unknown, but the salad joint has a “help wanted” sign along Lucent Boulevard. What else? The namesake of the development, a regional park, will encompass about three acres.

The park is expected to have an outdoor gathering space, amphitheater, restrooms and walking trails. UCHealth’s 340,000-squarefoot hospital is underway at the corner of Lucent Boulevard and Town Center Drive. The 77-bed hospital is slated for completion in Janu-

ary 2019. The campus will include a six-story patient tower, healing garden for patients, medical office building, parking decks and space for expansion. Single-family homes are popping up north of Plaza Drive and east of Barrons Boulevard. Final plans call for 25 acres of rows of houses with 29-foot wide alleys. County documents show four acres will be reserved for sidewalks and open space.

‘Cool tricks’ on display at skate park Annual event has biggest turnout to date BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sebastian Zacharias was 3 years old when he learned to scooter. By the age of 4, he was cruising up and down the 8-foot skate bowl at Redstone Park. The now 10-year-old was one of more than 50 participants at Ruler of the Railzz, a skate, scooter and BMX competition hosted by the Highlands Ranch Metro District at the skate park at Redstone Park, 3280 Redstone Park Circle. The metro district created the event more than 10 years ago to recognize a sport that is often under-recognized in the community, said Amber Garrett, recreation coordinator. Participants are judged and winners within each age group receive prizes, most of which are donated by local skateboarding companies. “We typically focus on every

other sport,” Garrett said. “The skate park doesn’t get as much attention.” Ruler of the Railzz started as a skateboarding competition. In recent years, the metro district added BMX and scooters — which have been a hit among participants. At the Sept. 16 competition, dozens of people ages 4 and up raced along the cement bowl on the metal machines. Some kept it traditional, like 7-year-old Samara Reedy. It was her third year skateboarding in the event, along with her older brother. “I want to learn cool tricks,” she said, holding a skateboard half her size and wearing a pink helmet. In the spaces not occupied by participants, parents snapped photos and encouraged their loved ones. Samara’s mom, Amy, said she loves the climate and community of the event. People cheer when someone does a trick. They lend a helping hand when someone falls. “It’s a really supportive environment,” Amy Reedy said.

Fair provides resources on substance use Sept. 30 Household Chemical Roundup in Castle Rock

Goal is to start a conversation between young people, parents BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A teenage bedroom staged in the lunchroom of Douglas County High School revealed everyday items that young people may be using to conceal drug or alcohol use. Inside a hairbrush was a compartment for marijuana. A pill bottle was in a pillowcase. Batteries that store pills were in an Xbox controller. The mock bedroom — which had more than 80 indicators of drug or alcohol use — was part of the first Substance Abuse Resource Fair, hosted by Douglas County High School and Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, along with several mental health and addiction organizations in the region. The goal of the fair was to connect parents with resources. Several booths lined the lunchroom, distributing information about recovery centers, parent support groups and treatment programs. Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office answered questions about the latest technology they are encountering on school grounds — including vape pens, small devices used to inhale nicotine or marijuana oils. Allison Strawn, the high school’s nurse, spearheaded the fair after learning about a similar event hosted by Addiction is Real — a nonprofit organization that educates parents about drug and alcohol use — in St. Louis. “We really felt it was important people know that they are not alone in this,” Strawn said. “It’s more of a prevention thing.” The timing is fitting. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and research shows that substance use and mental health oftentimes go handin-hand. In 2014, 7.9 million adults in the U.S. had both a substance use disorder and mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Zac Hess, director of health, wellness and prevention of Douglas County School District, said he sees a

ALEX DEWIND stigma around substance use in Douglas County. The fair was an opportunity to give families tools to recognize the signs of and talk about substance use. “We need to stay in front of it,” Hess said. “We just need to start talking.” Last fall, Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition studied behaviors of 43 high school students in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Parker and Lone Tree. Results revealed that alcohol is the number one problem, followed by marijuana. Prescription drug use isn’t as prevalent, said Steve Martinez, substance abuse prevention coordinator of Tri-County Health, a partner of the coalition. A 2013 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey of ninth- to 12th-graders in Douglas County showed that 27 percent of kids had alcohol in the past 30 days, compared to 31 percent statewide. The study also revealed that 77 percent of students felt they could ask a parent or guardian for help with a personal problem. “Kids want to talk,” Hess said. “Parents don’t always know what to say.” Douglas County High School principal Tony Kappas said the fair was a step in the right direction. Since joining the high school in 2004, he hasn’t lost a student to substance abuse, but wants to be proactive about the topic. He hopes the Substance Abuse Resource Fair happens four times a year at different schools in the district. “We have so many resources,” Kappa said. “It takes a village.”

DOUGLAS COUNTY YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION COALITION The youth coalition was established in March 2016 as a component of the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative, a collaborative effort of several agencies in Douglas County - including mental health providers, law enforcement, first responders, local hospitals, the school district, human services, the district attorney’s office and others — to address mental health needs.

The youth coalition’s goals are to reduce underage drinking, prescription drug misuse and abuse and underage marijuana use. Its five strategies include: assess prevention needs based on data; build prevention capacity; develop a strategic plan; implement effective community prevention programs, policies, and practices; and evaluate their efforts for outcomes.

The coalition is funded by a grant from The Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health. It includes a youth leadership board, open to teens ages 13-18, who engage in positive youth development and learn ways to prevent youth substance abuse among their peers in the community.

Principal honored by Colorado State Thespians Mike Weaver recognized for school’s inclusive theater program BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista High School is often in the spotlight for sports and academics. But on Sept. 21, Principal Mike Weaver was honored for a program that he says is just as important: theater. “Being recognized for the arts feels as good as anything,” Weaver said. “I am super proud of not only the quality but the number of kids participating.” Colorado State Thespians, an affiliate of Educational Theatre Association, selected Weaver as administrator of the year for creating a culture that supports and enables theater students. In its performing arts program — which includes theater — Mountain Vista has four full-time teachers, one part-time teacher, hundreds of kids and several programs, including choir, band and orchestra. Jeremy Goldson, director of Mountain Vista’s theater program, Stage Flight Theatre, nominated Weaver. Goldson also serves on the board

‘I am super proud of not only the quality but the number of kids participating.’ Mike Weaver, Mountain Vista principal of Colorado State Thespians. Three teachers statewide were nominated for the honor, which Goldson describes as “more of a big, robust formal thank you.” Weaver was awarded a trophy at a Sept. 21 ceremony at the Brown Palace Hotel in downtown Denver. He was selected because of his “relentless support” for theater at Mountain Vista, said Goldson. “He does an excellent job of making everyone feel like they are important,” Goldson said. “… He loves that students are comfortable in the theater department, and that there is a safe space for them to be themselves and discover themselves.” Among Stage Flight Theatre’s long

list of productions are “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast,” “Macbeth,” “Little Women,” “Pippin,” and “Once Upon A Mattress.” In 2010, Stage Flight hosted an all-state production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” a musical comedy that debuted on Broadway. Weaver said he was humbled by the honor and proud of his staff. Mountain Vista’s theater program meets the needs of and serves hundreds of kids, he said. “Supporting that type of thing is as important to us as supporting great achievement and quality athletic and activity programs,” Weaver said. “It’s a quality pathway that we have available at Mountain Vista.”

Dormant Pruning

is one of the best things you can do for your trees? Dormant pruning is a must for some trees such as Apples, Crabapples and Hawthorns (to name a few) as it is the best time to remove fire blight in your trees so that it does not spread. It is much easier to see what needs to be removed because there are no leaves. The difference between live growth vs. dead is very clear to see. Lightening the snow load always makes sense and it makes the clean up a lot easier! Dormant pruning fills up pretty quickly, so give us a call or email to get your free estimate. We offer a 10% discount for work authorized to do in between 12/1/17 and 3/1/18. This discount cannot be used with any other discount.

The funny thing about littering is that there’s nothing funny about littering QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

ennifer and I just flew back from Detroit, and, boy, are our arms tired. Michigan is my homeland, specifically Ann Arbor, and I thought that she should have at least one encounter with a University of Michigan home game in her lifetime. If you haven’t been to one yourself, please consider this: on game day, the corner of East Main Street and South Stadium Boulevard is the sixth-largest city in the state of Michigan. Alumni, old fans and new fans come from all over the world to attend a Wolverines football game. Please consider this: The capacity of Sports Authority Field at Mile High is 76,125. The average attendance for a Michigan home game is

more than 112,000. Jennifer and I woke in a hotel near the Detroit airport, and watched Irma barrel through Florida on CNN. It began a day that neither one of us will ever forget. From the hotel to Ann Arbor in a rental car on an autumn Saturday: 30 minutes. We walked to the stadium (from a parking space I pre-arranged from my home computer) past the high school where Iggy Pop and I would have been classmates if the Smiths hadn’t skipped town. The stadium was opened in 1927, and there have been a number of expansions. The latest one was the addition of skyboxes on top of the skyboxes on top of the skyboxes.

The music is too loud and the playlist is abhorrent — just like it is at CU games — but by halftime we both had lost our hearing, which was a partial blessing, because the halftime musical theme was a tribute to John Williams and the upcoming “Star Wars XXXVII” fatuity. We stayed in the stadium after the game, and watched 112,000 people leave, and leave about 112,000 pounds of litter. I said, “Bingo.” Jennifer said, “What?” “My next column: Why do people litter?” “That sounds engrossing,” the facetious German said. SEE SMITH, P12

Proposals are too costly I am referencing the Highlands Ranch Herald’s recent articles announcing that the HRCA is doing a study for a possible arts center and HRMD is looking at a possible senior center. These two initiatives were part of HRMD’s “Enhance the Ranch 5A” vote that was rejected in 2002. These two separate highcost initiatives bring up two questions: 1) Why not do an HRCA/HRMD feasibility study to consolidate these entities to save the taxpayers some money? 2) Why not do a study to become a city so local infrastructure enhancements can be funded through a sales tax? I’m not in favor of the HRCA managing an arts center because their HOA fees are not tax deductible but HRMD’s assessments are. I looked into Lone Tree’s arts center: it was a $21 million project, a $700,000 plus annual debt retirement along with a $2 million plus annual operating budget. Lone Tree has the tax base with Park Meadows visitor traffic to support this outlay. Perhaps a better shortterm solution is to study the local arts demand and budget structure by using local Douglas County

high schools’ auditoriums, already built and funded by the DougCo taxpayers. I contacted DougCo schools regarding their auditorium rental pricing. Lone Tree seats 484 people. DougCo high schools seat as many too. If HRCA wants to get into the arts business, DougCo has some attractive pricing. To rent the ThunderRidge auditorium for six hours, the nonprofit hourly rate is $344. That includes parking, security, cleanup and use of the cafeteria. All for $2,064 for one event. HRCA can hold an arts event more economically than actually buying land, erecting a building and having to pay off the debt load every year for 15-20 years, along with growing building maintenance and repairs. So what I ask is that: 1) HRCA and HRMD look into consolidation in order to save money on redundant overlapped operating expenses; 2) Do a study in forming a city to finance a senior center and/or an arts center using a sales tax; and 3) look into using the local high schools to study arts patron demand and operating costs before raising our non tax deductible HOA fees.

Rule is reminder that consumers need to pay attention to titles

he new Department of Labor (DOL) rule, also called the Fiduciary Rule, has created a bit of confusion for investors. It also threw many brokerage firms into FINANCIAL tumult over reSTRATEGIES avamping procedures under the new regulation. The intent of the rule is very good, but getting everyone who overlaps with the financial services industry on the same page is a major undertaking. Hence Patricia Kummer the implementation of the rule has been delayed again. The DOL Fiduciary Rule simply states something the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has always required: That advisors must put their clients’ interests before their own. Yet consumers may not know the difference between a fiduciary who is paid as an advisor or a broker who is paid for products. There may be significant differences between working with an independently registered firm (with the SEC) versus a bank or insurance company where their business does not fall under investment regulation. One quick way for the consumer to seek advisors who are fiduciaries is to ask for their ADV. This is the Advisory document required by the SEC each

year for independent advisors. When a firm has submitted an ADV it tells you several things. First, that they must be a fiduciary since the SEC requires this of all financial planners and advisors who are independently registered with them. Independent registration may provide more objective advice as opposed to falling under a brokerage umbrella. Secondly, the ADV will clearly state how an advisor manages money, charges fees, discloses conflicts of interest and provides research and advice. Whatever the advisor puts in their ADV is now auditable by the regulators, so advisors take this very seriously. One major difference between the two fiduciary rules is that the DOL only covers retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans and IRAs. Independent Registered Investment Advisors adopt the fiduciary standard on all investments and advice. Here are five simple questions that are all answered in the ADV that you can use to evaluate your advisor. 1. What education, certification and experience do you have? Most certifications such as the Certified Financial Planner ® designation have minimum education and experience requirements as well as a Code of Ethics. 2. How are investment recommendations selected? Make sure there is an independent analysis prior to investing such as a financial plan or Investment Policy. It is important that all

Kids deserve healthy start, and we can help provide it

hen you work in public health, programs that substantially improve the health and well-being for thousands are the gold standard. This is especially true when the beneficiaries are kids, who all deserve a healthy start, and pregnant women, who are helping to launch the next generation. But today in Colorado, we’re in danger of losing a program that achieves this standard, and our elected officials simply should not let that happen. At issue is funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHP+, as it is known in Colorado. This funding is set to expire unless Congress acts by Sept. 30. In Colorado, this would mean the loss of about $250 million annually, which has been a source of healthy starts for kids for nearly 20 years since the program was passed with bipartisan support. More than 90,000 kids and pregnant women who were covered by CHP+ over the last year in our state stand to lose care if the funding goes away. In the Denver metro area alone, more than 45,000 kids and pregnant women used this program during 2016 to get access to quality, affordable health care. CHP+ was designed by Colorado to meet our state’s specific needs, and it helps thousands of working families who make too much money to qualify

for Medicaid, but too little to afford private insurance. The working families who are covered by the program simply don’t have the option to switch to private insurance and will likely be forced to have their kids go without coverage if the program goes John Douglas away. For example, the maximum annual enrollment fee for a family on CHP+ is $75 or about $6.25 per month. By contrast, the cheapest catastrophic health plan in Denver for a child is $103 monthly — a 1,500 percent increase. And such a catastrophic health plan would still expose families to very high out-of-pocket costs, including large deductibles, which are estimated to be thousands of dollars greater than those under CHP+ coverage. You don’t need to be a public health official to understand the value of a program like this one. Kids covered by CHP+ are more likely to have a regular primary care doctor and thus less likely to be hospitalized for a problem that SEE DOUGLAS, P12

financial needs are viewed holistically including taxes, estates, retirement and risk and income needs. Make sure the investment choices are not synonymous with the name on the letterhead. Independent research should provide you more custom portfolio design. 3. What are your conflicts of interest? This should include any sponsorship or company affiliations that impact how an advisor is compensated beyond your fees. 4. What are your fees? This should include how they are calculated and reported. 5. What does the long-term relationship look like? You should expect to have ongoing reviews available to you and to be encouraged to update your financial plan and ask questions at any time. This includes progress reports and adjustments as needed including tax law changes, market fluctuations and economic updates in

addition to your own individual needs as they change. In summary, you don’t have to worry about the DOL rule and when and if it is ever implemented if your advisor is a Certified Financial Planner® and Registered Investment Advisor. Both the Board of Certified Financial Planners and the SEC hold fiduciary standards and professional code of conduct as minimum requirements for their advisors. And you should too.

OBITUARIES RAMBOSSEK

Elizabeth Maria Rambossek 10/4/1927 - 9/14/2017

Elizabeth “Ellie” “Eliska” Maria Rambossek, age 89, entered into eternal life with Jesus on September 14, 2017. Ellie was born October 4, 1927 in Chlistov, Czechoslovakia and spent her young life there, along with her sister, Irene, enjoying the farm and the animals her uncle owned. She bravely survived the personal pain of WWII, where she was incarcerated in Trutnov, Czechoslovakia for her Catholic faith. Ellie escaped the communist regime, hiding in the trees and bushes in the mountains near Austria, where she finally crossed the border into freedom. She met her husband, Karl, in Salzburg where they fell in love and were married in 1956. After a long, difficult journey across the Atlantic in the retrofitted WWII ship, the General Langfitt, they emigrated to the United States to start a new life. Ellie achieved her Fellow status with

FLMI and an equivalent achievement with HIAA. She was the secretary and historian for the Western Farm Bureau Credit Union for many years and was revered by her colleagues in her workplaces. Ellie is survived by her children Elizabeth “Lili” Keller (Bill) and Cynthia “Cindy” Goehring (Richard); grandchildren Justin Charles Keller and Jason Karl Keller and sister Irene Vejnar. She was preceded in death by her husband Karl Heinrich Rambossek and her parents Karl and Anna Vejnar. Visitaton will be Thursday, September 21, 2017 from 5-7pm with a Rosary service beginning at 7pm at Olinger Crown Hill Mortuary Chapel of Peace. Mass of Christian Burial will be Friday, September 22, 2017 at 10:30am at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church. Donations may be made to an animal charity of your choice in Ellie’s name.

could have been treated at a primary care visit. Common sense and research tell us that healthy kids are better learners in the classroom, have fewer absences from school, and are better prepared as they enter adulthood. Kids with health coverage are less likely to drop out of high school, more likely to graduate from college, and have higher incomes as adults. With so much attention over the past six months to a possible repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, the importance of continuing the Children’s Health Insurance Program has been lost in the shuffle. We simply can’t allow programs like this one — with a proven track record and thousands relying on it — to simply go away. Our elected officials in Congress need to work together and act rapidly to preserve it. Even at this deeply contentious time in our national politics, we can all agree that kids deserve the healthiest start possible to maximize their potential. A proven bipartisan program like CHP+ deserves the support of Colorado’s entire congressional delegation.

one more time to see how they look. And throughout the day, every opportunity at something where they can see their own reflection they take advantage of it. The car window, the rearview mirror, a storefront covered in glass, and even a mirror app on their phone. While many people do check themselves out throughout the day, from that first greeting through to the end of the day, some will also look to the mirror for answers. “Am I strong enough to handle today?” “Did I do the right thing earlier?” “Is it time for a change?” “Am I who I want to be and where I want to be?” And although we may think that the mirror doesn’t talk back, I would offer that it does talk back and does so

There was trash under the seats everywhere you looked. Remember Keep America Beautiful’s 1971 “crying Indian” campaign? Their recent study about littering gives two main reasons: contextual variables and personal variables. Contextual variables include “availability of trash cans, the accumulative impact of other litter in the area, and even weather.” Personal variables include “age, awareness, attitudes, and feelings of

100 percent of the time. You see, it’s not the mirror’s ability to talk back to us that’s the problem. Most times, it is our unwillingness to hear the mirror or hold ourselves accountable to what the mirror is saying. We all know what we should do, or what we have to do. We all know what we should not have done or what we did. Most of us know what the mirror is saying, we just don’t want to listen or we make excuses to justify why we can’t or won’t do something or stand up for someone or something. Mirrors are a reflection of what is in front of them. And unless they are a trick mirror or carnival mirror, they also do not tell lies. So it doesn’t matter if it is that first greeting in the morning, the glances throughout the day, or that last look in the evening, we know what the mirror is saying don’t we? The mirror is the procrastinator’s worst nightmare. When

the mirror is telling us to do something we need to do it. It’s not the eyes of others who are looking at us, those are our own eyes that are looking right back into our soul, our heart, and our goals and dreams. What are we supposed to do when the mirror talks back? We are to listen and we are to take act. How about you? Are the mirrors in your life speaking to you? The bigger question is this, are you listening and taking action? I would love to hear what your mirror is telling you at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we hear what our mirrors are saying, and we do what we know we need to do, it really will be a better than good week.

personal responsibility.” The study showed that “15 percent of littering behavior had to do with contextual demands and 85 percent had to do with personal variables.” There were plenty of trash cans everywhere, and Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is featured in a big screen plea for fans to dispose of litter responsibly. Neither mattered. Older people are less likely to litter than younger people, the study showed. I hope they didn’t spend too much time or money figuring that one out. Have you ever seen a carload of kids toss fast food leftovers out the window? Littering isn’t just an incidental lapse

in accountability and civility. Over nine billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean every year. Over 11 billion dollars is spent every year to clean up litter. I am not campaigning myself. Littering is an inevitability, and I am fully resigned to it. The explanation is this: People will be people. (If you go to Ann Arbor, go to Zingerman’s Delicatessen. We did, after the game.)

beneficiary: Bonfils Blood Center. “They found out about us at the last one, and we all thought it was a good partnership with the vampire theme,” Jones said. “Now is the time to bring it back to life.” Flat Acre Farms in Parker will host the event just after the opening of its Fall Festival, featuring family activities that tie in with the fun run’s spooky theme. Costumes are encouraged, and participants can register to run through the course solo or in “clans” of four or more people. Participants will receive a “Running Sucks” T-shirt, a free red beer after the event and discounted admission to Flat Acre’s Reaper’s Hollow. The run will conclude with music, dancing and costumed fun to “kick of the Halloween season in style,” as Jones put it. Those seeking to ambush the runners as costumed vampires can also register alone or in clans, to lurk in the woods, abandoned buildings and creekbeds on the course and toss red powder on runners to mark them as undead victims. Registration will be capped at 500 participants, and totals so far indicate they will reach that goal. “There’s safety in numbers,” Jones said. “Whether it be a troop that runs together or a pack that hunts together.”

The

big cheese Alamo Drafthouse Chef Ian Patrick serves up the “Grown Up Grilled Cheese,” a favorite on the menu at the theater’s cafe. Seth Rexroad, designer of their menu, says the grilled cheese sandwich is like the different genres of rock ’n’ rollthat evolve through the years from the same basic structure. PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY

Local chefs stick to a staple when concocting their menus BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hef John Wu and his wife Hong came to the United States to pursue their dreams. John’s was to be a chemist. Hong’s was to run a restaurant. After finishing his master’s degree in chemistry at the University of Texas El Paso, Wu opted to go with his wife’s plan, and in 2016, they opened Sizzle in Centennial. He had one condition: He would use the expertise he would have used to make chemical compounds to achieve balance between the flavors of Sizzle’s version of the grilled cheese sandwich. “It’s a simple, homemade option,” Hong says. “It’s light, it’s something you can eat if you’re vegetarian, and it’s simple. Kids and adults like it.” Food trends come and go in cycles, and a wave of grilled cheese-themed restaurants have come, and in some cases gone, in the Denver metro

WHAT’S IN THEM? The Alamo Drafthouse: “Grown Up Grilled Cheese” • Sourdough bread • Mozzarella and goat cheeses • Spinach and tomato The Urban Egg: “Elevated” Grilled Cheese • Sourdough bread area over the last few years. But customers come back to the grilled cheese for a variety of reasons, some seeking a low-cost option, others looking for a melted, meatless choice to chew. Wu and other area chefs have established a safe space for the foodie favorite on their menus by adding their own twists to the time-tested toastie. Blends, balance and a bowl Cheese isn’t a staple of Asian cuisine, but Wu says his version of the classic American sandwich is a fusion of Asian skill and American style. He doesn’t give away the recipe for his “SG Grilled Cheese,” other than revealing it has a soy base and that he uses a blend of American, Swiss and cheddar. For carnivores, Wu adds a sweet bratwurst or some honey baked ham. At the Urban Egg’s locations in Highlands Ranch and Greenwood Village, balanc-

• Havarti and Swiss cheeses • Fresh basil, sliced tomato • A drizzle of Colorado honey Sizzle Grill: “SG Grilled Cheese” • White bread • Swiss, American and cheddar cheeses ing textures is as important as finding complementary flavors. “It’s a balance of crunchy on the outside and a gooey inside,” says General Manager Brennan Price, alluding to the sourdough bread the Egg’s chefs base their sandwich on. Price’s father and owner of the restaurants, Randy, says his restaurant’s take on the sandwich has been a customer favorite since the Highlands Ranch store opened 2 1/2 years ago. The Brennan’s version, they call it the “elevated grilled cheese,” features a blend of Havarti and Swiss cheeses, paired with fresh basil and tomato. But one last ingredient sets their sandwich apart — Colorado honey. “It adds a level of sweetness that really complements the basil. Those two ingredients together make all the difference,” Brennan says. SEE CHEESE, P17

Chef John Wu , owner of Sizzle Grill in Centannial, admires his cheesy concoction. The restaurant’s walls feature photos of repeat customers many of whom return for one of the three grilled cheese variations.

Big bad lizard life is theme of show at Denver museum

ith interest in dinosaurs at a peak in the metro area these days, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver, will SONYA’S bring in an exhibit SAMPLER called “Ultimate Dinosaurs,” opening on Oct. 6 with general admission. (Audio guides available in English and Spanish.) Strange creatures evolved in isolation in Africa, South America and Madagascar. The Sonya Ellingboe supercontinent Pangaea gradually broke apart and formed today’s continents, carrying various dinosaur species as pieces of continents drifted. From the tiny Eoraptor to the massive Gigantosaurus, visitors can indulge the “inner 8-year-old,” as the DMNS puts it. The exhibit, with 17 fully articulated skeletons and dozens of fossils and casts, was created by the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, and toured by the Science Museum of Minnesota. For more information: dmns.org/ultimatedinos. Dracula returns The Colorado Ballet begins its sea-

They were not widely identified and were buried in unmarked graves in Fresno. Singer/activist Woody Guthrie and Martin Hoffman wrote a song, “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos).” Author Tim C. Hernandez (“All They Will Call You”) has spent years locating and interviewing family members of the passengers, including the pilots, and presents a free program with musician Daniel Grandbois and a Q&A with the author.

CHEESE FROM PAGE 16

Any entree needs a good side dish, and the grilled cheese can usually be found surrounded by French fries or Brennan’s favorite dipping dish: a bowl of soup. Indeed, though each restaurant puts their own spin on the sandwich, one thing working in their favor is the fact that most of their customers have been eating the fare since childhood. “It’s comfort food, for sure,” he says. The Seattle sound of sandwiches Alamo Drafthouse chef and menu designer Seth Rexroad describes his cheesy concoction as “comfort food you can eat in the dark,” a significant stipulation for his movie-going clientele. “For me, there’s nothing I’d rather have than a grilled cheese in one hand and a beer in the other while I’m watching a movie,” he says. “You can’t go wrong.” The “Grown Up Grilled Cheese” combines goat and mozzarella cheeses, with spinach and tomato rounding out the edges. Ian Patrick, the chef at the theater chain’s Littleton location, says his grill typically has one or more of the toasties on its surface at any given time. “It’s definitely a standard,” Patrick says. “It’s all about the tang

A grilled cheese featuring basil, tomato and honey, paired with carrot and onion soup, awaits a hungry customer at the Urban Egg. PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY from the goat cheese.” Rexroad says he constantly monitors food trends around the U.S. and noticed a surge in grilled cheese sandwiches around the early 2000s that later fizzled out. He put it on the Drafthouse menu in 2013 and tried different variations throughout the years, including wrapping the sandwiches in bacon and filling them with macaroni and cheese. Gimmicks and interesting ingredients aside, he says he’s confident the sandwich will always be in heavy rotation. “I think of it like grunge music,” Rexroad says. “It’s all rock ‘n’ roll, it just keeps coming back in different forms.”

The “Killer Miscast Kids” from the 2016 performance of “Miscast” appeared again in 2017 at Town Hall Arts Center and are part of a group that is performing in “13 the Musical” also to benefit Denver Actors Fund. COURTESY PHOTO The idea of “Miscast” started some years ago with a now-discontinued theater company that needed to raise money and was later picked up at the suggestion of John Moore as a manageable way to develop support for the large local theater community. Director Robert Michael Sanders said he had far more proposals for program acts than he could include. He was assisted by several judges in scheduling performers.

When lights went up on “Miscast” at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center on Sept. 25, the audience was treated to an evening of unparalleled silliness by a number of Denver’s top performers, who contribute their time and talents to an annual production that raises money for the Denver Actors Fund. “What role/song have you ever considered that is totally inappropriate for you?” it asks. “One that you would never be cast for — ever?” The response, including costume and accompaniment, made up the “Miscast” program, with running commentary by co-hosts/funny guys Steven J Burge and Eric Mather. This community-wide benefit is for the Denver Actors Fund, which has provided financial and practical services to members of the local theater community who find themselves in medical need. In four years, the nonprofit organization has awarded more than $120,000 in direct financial aid to fellow artists.

What do theater kids do when they want to support their favorite charity? They put on a show!” Sanders said. “13 the Musical” will play at 2 and 7 p.m. on Oct. 6 in the Denver JCC Elaine Wolf Theatre.

‘My Brilliant Divorce’ took winding route to reach stage in Denver One-woman show is treat for audiences at Avenue Theater

IF YOU GO “MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE” by Geraldine Aron plays through Oct. 15 at the Avenue Theater, 417 17th Ave., Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 4 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $27.50.

Longtime Highlands Ranch resident Richard Pegg, who grew up and was trained in the UK, has been involved in 193 theatrical productions in Colorado: as director, set designer and three times in small parts as an actor, he said. When such a person travels, he of course attends theater productions. “A play that’s been on my bucket list for 13 years is now in production at the Avenue Theater!” he wrote to us recently. “My Brilliant Divorce” is running in Denver through Oct. 14. While in London, he enjoyed “My Brilliant Divorce,” by Geraldine Aron, starring Dawn French — a one-woman play with “40 pages of dense script.” He initially thought of it as a vehicle for skilled actress Paige Larson, who operated Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden with husband Rick Bernstein. They loved it, but thought the script needed some adjustments for an American audience. Pegg contacted the publisher of the English version, Samuel French, who said it was not available through them. Nor was it available from Dramatists, the other main U.S. play publisher with rights for plays. In 2007, an Americanized version came to Pegg, directly from the playwright, and Pegg renewed his option on it and started to rehearse with Larson. The he got an email rescinding the rights because a New York producer had taken a five-year option on the play — an offer Geraldine couldn’t turn down. Forward to late 2013, the rights were again available, but Rick and Paige

had decided to sell Miners Alley and move to West Virginia. Other small theaters were reluctant to take on a one-woman show. “I even looked at producing it myself at the Aurora Fox, where I had directed `Red Hot Patriot’” (about journalist Molly Ivins). It is still showing at spots across the nation with local actress Rhonda Brown, Pegg said. “As happens with so many shows/ scripts, theaters become unavailable, scheduling conflicts arise, stars become detached, etc., etc. An endless cycle of triumphs and failures …” “In late 2016, I had the Avenue as the venue, with an award-winning actress, Emma Messenger very keen to play the role … The Avenue’s landlords (a nonprofit board) threw a spanner into the works! This caused then-Executive Director John Ashton to throw in the towel too, so our planned production with Emma evaporated as well. “ He renegotiated with present Executive Director Dave Shirley, but by then, Messenger was not available — and is booked for the next year … Pegg focused on Dave’s wife, Jane Shirley, also a brilliant actress, best known for improv comedy. She is indeed “brilliant” in bringing the complicated tale of an American trying to divorce a Brit, impersonating a number of characters she deals with, and not missing a beat. The show is enhanced by some well-done projection work, a simple set and well-timed sound effects. It offers an entertaining diversion for the audience, who found much to laugh about when we attended.

ohl Schultz didn’t wrestle with boredom this summer. The 16-year-old Ponderosa junior traveled around Europe from Austria to Serbia to Finland to Sweden OVERTIME to France and finally to Greece. He returned home as the first American Cadet World Greco-Roman wrestling champion in 20 years. Schultz did have some time to see some European attractions, Jim Benton but wrestling was the main reason he spent the summer in Europe training and competing in junior and Cadet tournaments. “It was a little tough being away from home for so long,” said Schultz, who is a two-time 220-pound Colorado state champion. “I really had to focus on what my goals were.” He obtained one of his goals Sept. 5 in Athens when he got a takedown with 12 seconds remaining to earn a 3-1 win over Hungary’s Balint Vatzi in the 100-kilogram world title Greco match. “It was awesome,” said Schultz. “It sounds great, world champion.” Greco-Roman wrestling differs from freestyle because you can only do takedowns by attacking the upper body of the opponent and can’t grab a foe below the waist. In freestyle wrestling, participants can use their legs as both offensive and defensive weapons and single and double-leg takedowns are common. The Cadet age-group classification is 16- and 17-year-old wrestlers, but Schultz also competed in a couple junior tournaments for wrestlers born after Sept. 1, 1997 plus those enrolled in grades 9-12. “I like Greco more, but honestly it’s all just wrestling,” Schultz said. USA Greco-Roman assistant coach Momir Petkovic knew Schultz would be a Greco-Roman standout when he first saw him. “His body type has no weak spot,” explained Petkovic. “Greco is more physical. To throw somebody you need explosive power. When I saw him for the first time, he was 13 or 14 and I said this kid has no weak spots. He could be a great Greco representative for this country.” There was an assembly at Ponderosa on Sept. 13 to honor Schultz, who plans to continue wrestling for the Mustangs this winter. A group of Pondo pom girls wore special Schultz T-shirts that said “World Champion” and got fros in reference to Schulz’s Afro hairstyle. “It was great,” said Schultz. “I really didn’t have too much to say. It was crazy. There were so many people.” SEE BENTON, P25

By any name, there’s no substitute for their support Backups play key roles on high school teams but must maintain the right mind-set BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They are the players who rarely hear their names over the public address system despite their hard work in practices. They are the players who have some of the most difficult jobs on the team. They see limited varsity playing time but have to be upbeat, supportive, attentive and ready if their name is called. They are called role players, nonstarters, backups, reserves, substitutes and by some, bench-warmers. “I try to tell my girls all the time that regardless of what your role is, coming off the bench is a harder role and probably a more important role,” Arvada West girls volleyball coach Debbie Pospisil said. “You have to be able to perform at this level for maybe one or two points, versus having the opportunity to play for 25 points. “It’s harder mentally to be a role player than maybe to be a person

Highlands Ranch • One thing that can usually be banked on at the school is a good volleyball team. Over the past 10 seasons, the Falcons have averaged 19.3 wins and the team is off to an 8-1 start this year. • The football team has notched three straight wins to start the season. However, the schedule toughens as the Falcons host Regis Jesuit, a team that won the past five games against the Falcons, on Sept. 22 at Shea Stadium. • Brad Bedell scored twice as the Falcons’ boys soccer team snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over Arvada West on Sept. 16.

Mountain Vista • Senior pitcher Makayla Hoselton leads the Continental League with a 1.66 earned run average through 12 games. She has pitched 33.2 innings with a 6-0 record and one save. • The boys tennis team has compiled a 6-0

Arapahoe High School softball players cheer on their teammates in the field as a Thomas Jefferson player prepares for an at-bat on Sept. 15. Arapahoe won 6-5. JIM BENTON that is expected to be out there and be your go-to kid. It’s hard because we do expect them to cheer and do those things but they also have to know and understand what is going on in the game.” And that goes for reserves in almost all sports. “Everybody, especially in a football program, has their role,” Douglas County football coach Gene Hill

On campus: record this season and No. 3 singles player senior Brian Benson has won all six of his matches. • It’s been a slow start for the boys soccer team, which has started 1-6-0 and have been shut out four times.

Rock Canyon • There are two new cross country record holders who have set school bests this season. Senior Chris Theodore’s 15:23 set the new boys standard while sophomore Hope James ran a record 18:30. • Junior quarterback Adam Mullen has been effective so far this season, with a 118.3 quarterback rating in three games. He has completed 32 of 62 passes for 601 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception. • Senior inﬁelder Shelby Lamkin is pacing the softball team with a .630 batting average and a .667 on-base percentage.

said. “I had a talk with our sophomores and juniors the other day. They get frustrated because they don’t get a lot of playing time. “A lot of times young guys have to start being scout-team guys preparing those varsity guys for Friday night games and then having to go play their game on Saturday.” Sophomore lineman Sean Wulforst is on the Rock Canyon football scout

team but figures hard work will pay dividends. “I’m still part of the team,” he said. “I know I’ll make it to varsity if I just work as hard as I can. I watch the varsity play, I see what they are doing and do the same thing they do. “It is pretty frustrating especially when I’m on the scout team and they are just taking reps on me, but sometimes I do get to suit up and go to the varsity game. If I want to be where they are and not be on the practice squad, then I have to be better than them. I can’t just go through the motions because I’m on the bottom of the totem pole.” Legacy senior reserve linebacker/ tight end Austin Perri contributes on the Lightning bench. “Even if you’re not playing, if you are on the sidelines, you want to make sure everybody is paying attention and focused,” Perri said. “During the games, you want to make sure everyone is hyping up Perri the people that are on the field.” Randy Freeman is a first-year soccer coach at Douglas County and said he didn’t want to start off his tenure by cutting some of the team’s seniors.

matches this season.

News and notes from local high school sports programs ThunderRidge • Doug Nisenson picked a meaningful game to earn his first win as head coach with a 51-34 victory over rival Mountain Vista on Sept. 15. • ThunderRidge, which lost games in 2014 and 2015, has resumed its dominance in the football rivalry with Mountain Vista as the Grizzlies swelled their advantage to 10-2 in the series. • Shea Holmes, a senior, scored a goal and had an assist for the United States’ Under 19 Women’s National soccer team that defeated the U20 Iran squad, 5-0, to win the CFA International Women’s Youth Football Tournament on Sept. 14 in Dunyon, China.

SkyView Academy • The old adage of “wait until next year” could apply to the girls volleyball team as nine of the 15 girls on team are underclass players. Still, the Hawks have won three of eight

• It doesn’t get much easier for the winless soccer team (06-0) with games scheduled against Jefferson Academy, Manual and Denver Christian. SkyView is a combined 2-5 against those team with both wins coming against Manual.

Valor Christian • The Eagles’ football team will put a 13-game winning streak on the line Sept. 22 against Pomona, the team that Valor beat in the past two state title games. However, the Panthers have won regular-season games against the Eagles the past two seasons. • Junior twin brothers Ben and Ty Findlow have gone their separate ways athletically. Ben is on the tennis team and Ty plays golf for the Eagles. • Coach Dave Atencio’s softball team has compiled an impressive record over the past four seasons. The three-time defending 4A state champions are 82-3 including an 11-0 mark through games of Sept. 16.
