Police report concludes that shooting was justified DA releases investigation results; detective’s condition updated

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Parker police officer who fatally shot a suspect who had earlier critically wounded a detective was justified in his use of deadly force, an investigation has determined.

On Sept. 2, officer Ronnie Dorrell shot and killed Randall Rodick, who shot Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Detective Dan Brite in the chest before trying to elude officers in a recreational vehicle.

said made one “miraculous” shot to hit Rodick in the head.

King said Dorrell has been with the department for almost two years and finished his rifle training just a month before the incident. Dorrell was on administrative leave from the day of the incident until the district attorney’s office cleared him to return to active duty on Sept. 21 and received counseling during his hiatus, as did other officers involved in the incident.

Steve Johnson, Douglas County chief deputy of law enforcement, provided an update on Brite, saying he remains at Craig Hospital for rehabilitation and that “we have high hopes” for his recovery. Brite spent weeks in the intensive care unit at Parker Adventist before being transported to Craig on Oct. 6.

Brauchler said that while the facts of the case may have seemed clear to the public, his office thoroughly investigates every incident of deadly force to ensure proper procedures were followed throughout.

“The idea here is to give the public some sense of trust,” Brauchler said.

Brauchler described the steps taken by the Critical Response Team, an investigative unit made up of detectives from each of the responding police departments. Members of the team from the Parker department were excluded from the investigation to maintain objectivity.

Brauchler and Parker Police Chief David King also praised officers who responded to and ended the threat Rodick posed to civilians in Rodick’s neighborhood and at Parker Adventist Hospital and Sierra Middle School.

About me I’ve lived, worked and cooked in Highlands Ranch for 25 years. This is my community and my home. I have been in the real estate industry since I moved to Denver, which was 35 years ago.

I moved from a farm in the middle of Kansas. As soon as I was out of college, I came to Colorado, saw the mountains and knew this was where I wanted to live.

‘Highlands Ranch Foodie’ I started my blog in 2009. People were always asking me for my recipes so the main purpose of it was to start a website where people had access to them. I didn’t really know what a blog was at the time but it seemed like the easiest venue. I’ve been writing, cooking and writing about cooking ever since. I could talk about cooking all day.

Once I got followers — from all over the world, really — I decided to pick a niche and a purpose. I thought what a better place to represent than our western culture in Colorado. I

am an ardent student of Mexican-, southwestern- and western-style foods.

I try to make sure that the ingredients I use are readily available to people. I also strive for Coloradoproud products.

My inspiration Growing up on a farm in Kansas, we didn’t have access to restaurants like we do here in the Denver metro area. My mom and my two aunts were incredible cooks and were constantly cooking and baking. It just came natural to me. Having dinner around a table was a family event — it was never missed.

My most popular recipe My green chili recipe gets the most hits daily. What makes it Coloradostyle is that it has pork in it.

Visit Brown’s recipe blog at highlandsranchfoodie.com.

Fairy-tale characters set for ThunderRidge STAFF REPORT

“The Grimm Brothers’ Spectaculathon” will bring an assortment of familiar characters to the stage at ThunderRidge High School. Just not in the interactions we are accustomed to reading about! Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, The Frog Prince, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin and more will inhabit the scene on Nov. 11 and 12 at 7 p.m.

Don Zolidis drew on the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and wrote a show

that brings many of those characters from the 209 fairy tales into today’s world in a somewhat chaotic manner.

Performers will be from the Theatre 4 and 5 classes at ThunderRidge, directed by Kylene Hurley. Lead roles are two narrators, played by Anna Poelma and Kevin Howery.

ThunderRidge High School is located at 1991 Wildcat Reserve Parkway in Highlands Ranch. Performances are at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 and 12. Tickets cost $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and kids, and can be bought at the door.

Community rallies amid flames, ashes Residents look out for one another and responding crews

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Ethan Manning — along with his brother, mother and other residents — stood among acres of black land covered by a smoky haze in the Backcountry after the Oct. 28 brush fire had been fully contained.

“It’s awful,” said Manning, a freshman at Mountain Vista High School.

“We have all this beauty back here and now we obviously don’t have as much.”

But amid the fire that scorched 205 acres and forced the evacuation of 858 homes, the Highlands Ranch community rallied.

“A ton of people reached out to my family to see if we were OK,” said Manning, who lives with his family in the Backcountry subdivision of Highlands Ranch.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office issued an evacuation notice at about 2 p.m. Oct. 28 for residents living within a half mile of the Sundial House — a community clubhouse in the Backcountry subdivision south of East Wildcat Reserve Parkway and west of Mountain Vista High School.

Residents in the Chatfield Estates subdivision were also evacuated.

The area of the fire was east of Santa Fe Drive. Firefighters fully contained it by about 5 p.m.

Manning, like other residents in the neighborhood, uses foot trails that weave throughout the Backcountry.

Amy Oliver, also a resident of the Backcountry subdivision, mountain bikes on the trails.

“I know it will come back,” she said of the burned area, “but it’s sad to think about what could’ve happened — it’s devastating.”

Residents expressed gratitude for the responding agencies, which included the South Metro, West Metro, Littleton, Denver and Castle Rock

A fire south of the Backcountry subdivision in Highlands Ranch scorched more than 200 acres on the afternoon of Oct. 28. Several fire crews and aircraft responded to the fire, which prompted the evacuation of neighborhoods in Chatfield Estates and Backcountry subdivisions.

PHOTOS BY ALEX DEWIND fire departments. Five planes and a helicopter helped fight the fire.

“Just watching the air support was amazing,” Oliver said.

Other residents took to social media to lend a helping hand. On a Highlands Ranch Facebook page, people coordinated resources for responding crews, including water bottles, Gatorade, fruit, granola bars and sandwiches.

“Anything we can do to help, let’s do it,” resident Trish Pfaff commented on the social media site.

Resident Karen Barnett offered to take trays of sandwiches from Kneaders Bakery and Café to the site of the fire.

“We love this community and those who put their lives on the line to help all of us,” Barnett wrote.

Wildfire stemmed from equipment malfunction STAFF REPORT

A wildfire that burned about 205 acres and threatened homes in the Backcountry last week was caused by “an equipment malfunction on an electrical power pole,” South Metro Fire Rescue officials say.

Crews with South Metro and Littleton Fire Rescue spent the weekend making sure the Oct. 28 Chatridge Fire didn’t flare up. The fire, which started shortly before noon, was fully contained after about five hours.

Hundreds of residents who had been

evacuated were allowed to return home.

No injuries were reported and no structures were damaged, a spokeswoman with South Metro Fire Rescue said.

In recent weeks, Douglas County has been on Stage 1 fire restrictions because of warm, dry conditions. The restrictions ban open burning and the use of fireworks.

At about 2 p.m. Oct. 28, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office issued an evacuation notice for residents living within a half mile of the Sundial

House in the Backcountry of Highlands Ranch. The fire burned in an area east of Santa Fe Drive and south of East Wildcat Reserve Parkway.

With the support of five planes and a helicopter, firefighters from a dozen agencies battled the blaze.

By 3 p.m., 858 residents had been evacuated, including those in the Chatfield Estates subdivision. Evacuees were sent to Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch.

Everyone was allowed to return home later in the afternoon.

Responding agencies included the

South Metro, West Metro, Littleton, Denver and Castle Rock fire departments.

Santa Fe Drive, from Highlands Ranch Parkway to Titan Road, was subject to intermittent closures throughout the afternoon.

According to the Douglas County School District, Stone Mountain Elementary students who normally walk or ride the bus home to the Backcountry area were transported to ThunderRidge High School, where parents could pick them up.

For three staff members at Douglas County’s election headquarters in Castle Rock, working on the ballot-processing team means they’re doing their part.

This is Linda Allie’s first year working for Douglas County, although she’s been part of teams during elections in other states since she was 18 years old.

“It gives me a sense of giving back to my community,” she said.

Most important to her, however, is seeing firsthand how the process works and if it’s efficient.

“I’m impressed,” she said of Douglas County’s system. “I like the way it’s run.”

She particularly likes how the temporary elections staff is divided into teams — all bipartisan — that divvy up the tasks involved in ballot pro-

Wally and Bridget Wesierski agree that the bipartisan teams make for an efficient and secure process. To them, it’s one of the many checks and balances they say are at every step of the way, from the time a ballot is received until it’s counted.

Unopposed Brauchler poised for next term District attorney looks ahead to four more years and beyond

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

52 percent to 48 percent in the general election.

While he isn’t facing any challengers in his bid for re-election this year, he’s been meeting with seniors and other groups of voters to let them know what he’s done in his first term.

“I like to make our voters the best-educated in the state,” he said.

“I don’t think a lot of people really understand what the district attorney does.”

The Douglas County husband and father of four graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with bachelor’s degrees in political

science and economics. He earned his law degree from the university in 1995.

A member of the ROTC in college, Brauchler, 47, still serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard, a position he said allows him to stay close to his home in Parker and his job overseeing the D.A.’s office. The judicial district encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

One thing he is proud of is the influence he’s had on others in his office and their military service.

Youth orchestra to start in January Classes are open for strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Young musicians will soon have a place in Highlands Ranch to sharpen their instrumental skills.

Symply Symphonic!, a youth orchestra, has partnered with the Highlands Ranch Community Association to offer classes to young residents and nonresidents starting in January.

The program — along with the Highlands Ranch Encore Chorale choir for those 50 and older — brings new cultural and educational opportunities to the community, said Jamie Noebel, director of community relations and events of the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

“We are very excited to host this program for our young musicians in the area that want to get more experience and play with a group on a regular basis,” Noebel said.

The music group will be the first of its kind in Highlands Ranch.

There are few non-auditioned youth orchestras available in the Denver metro area, Symply Symphonic!

Director Barbara Seaton said in a media release.

“The ones that do exist are extremely competitive and therefore limited to a small number of players per year,” said Seaton, who learned to play the cello at 9 years old and has been teaching music for more

than 25 years. She’s also an active member of the Littleton Symphony Orchestra.

“Music is brain food,” she said.

Symply Symphonic! has unlimited space availability so no student is ever turned away. Ages 8 to 18, of all music levels, are welcome with no audition necessary. Instruction will be offered for a variety of instruments, including the violin, cello, string bass, clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, baritone, saxophone, percussion, piano and harp.

There will be a demonstration and rental night for beginners.

Intermediate and advanced students are required to bring their own instruments.

Classes — which will include beginning, intermediate and advanced — will be held at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road, weekly during evenings for an hour and 15 minutes. There will be several performances throughout the year at the recreation center and other community venues, including Town Center.

Young musicians will explore a variety of sounds, including classical, Celtic, jazz and pop. In addition, students will work with local professional composers, arrangers and teachers to tailor to individual interests and abilities, the media release says.

Seaton requires a 10-week commitment for all students, which culminates in a performance for family and friends.

“Our whole idea is that it’s a community thing — everyone gets to play and have fun,” Seaton said.

hen I first moved to Colorado more than 20 years ago I was introduced to one of the most productive people I have ever had the privilege of working with and who I believe still has one of the strongest work ethics of anyone I have ever met or worked with in the past.

Her name is JoAnn and at the time she was our office manager, finance manager, and basically manager and keeper of all things in the company. I was the vice president of sales at the time, so I had a lot of reasons to interact with JoAnn throughout each day. What always amazed me was that at the end of every day she was always the last person to leave, and always

the first person into the office the next morning. And no matter how much work we created or tasks that needed to get accomplished, it seemed like the more work that we gave to JoAnn, the more she thrived and produced. She never missed a deadline and always exceeded expectations with an excellent work product.

Needless to say, I recruited her to come with me as I started my own company.

And then there are the other people I have worked with over the years who just didn’t have that same work ethic. It seemed like they never had enough to do and they always seem to be behind in what they were doing.

What I have found to be true is that those

people with the most to do are the people who get the most done. And that the people with the least amount to do can never seem to rise to the occasion and complete what needs to get done.

Accomplishment is the watchword for those that do, where procrastination seems to be the belief system of those who are challenged with work ethic.

We see this at work and we see it in our own families, don’t we? We may even see it within our circle of friends too. And we certainly see it at work amongst our associates. Is it just pure drive and ambition compared to complaSEE NORTON, P11

reader said that my “bleak outlook” is “partly agerelated.”

I said, “You should have seen me when I was 17.”

That’s when I met the young man who later Craig Marshall became my college roommate.

Smith My roommate was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature.

For weeks, however, he did not acknowledge the award.

One of the Nobel committee members, Per Wastberg, said that makes him “impolite and arrogant.”

Hey, Wastberg: Know your recipient well, before you start Nobeling him.

We met when I was in high school, in southwestern Ohio.

He traveled with me to California. I took classes during the day.

He wrote the songs that I listened to all night.

We spent some time together in Arizona, before we moved to Colorado in 1977.

I have heard him hundreds of times unexpectedly on the

radio, and probably thousands of times intentionally, going across everything that has happened to me since I was 17.

Reactions to the award have been all over the place. I am not surprised.

He is a scruffy-looking man, with a nasal-twang voice, and there was a time when what he wrote about seemed to bother a few people.

He was called a protest singer.

He said that Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme were protest singers, not him.

The humor in that wasn’t lost on a kid who was becoming skeptical and suspicious of a lot of things, and a lot of people. That hasn’t changed.

Irvine Welsh, the author of “Trainspotting,” heard about the award, and said, “An ill-conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies.”

I’d come home from school at night, and get out “Desolation Row.” Put it on the turntable, and put out the lights.

Eleven minutes or so later I’d wake and hear the sound of the needle lifting and returning to its cradle.

Losing a spouse to dementia isn’t something to handle alone

N

ancy Reagan coined the term “the long goodbye” about her process of watching her husband leave her little-by-little due to Alzheimer’s.

Unlike other forms of debilitating or life-ending illness, dementia is particularly cruel Birgit Moran for many reasons.

As someone who Schafer is privileged to participate in these journeys with the caregivers and their families, I see many versions of the compiled story below. While each person is unique as is each family, certain truths surface time and time again. Here is Harry’s story.

When Harry appeared in our lobby, it wasn’t hard to recognize the look I’ve seen plenty of times; the disbelief but also the burgeoning resignation.

Nobody plans for this.

“I never give up, I am strong, I can do this.” And then a statement I hear repeatedly: “I made her a promise,” Harry emotionally revealed.

Harry and Susan met in college — he a star football player, she a straight A student. Their courtship was a whirlwind — it was love at first sight.

They traveled to Asia, protested a war, learned to cook moo shu pork together and settled down with two children who came a little later on. He was always her rock. She was always his social guide. They’ve been married for 45 years.

About one year ago, she started to have difficulty with names — then with remembering where they were

LIVING AND AGING WELL

going. A few times, he’d find her hairbrush in the freezer or her purse in with the bakeware. Keys were often disappearing. She’d believe anyone about anything — that was next. He made sure she couldn’t answer the phone so they wouldn’t be scammed.

Then he had to lock the doors to prevent her from leaving the house with no place to go, or in her undies, or otherwise unsafe choices.

He found ways to explain these things to himself — she’s tired, she’s had a bad day, it must be the new vitamins, etc. When their children visited, Susan seemed spot on - answering questions and conversing.

Nothing seemed wrong. Each visit seemed pleasant. Was he imagining her strange moments?

Most people with dementia are quite capable of hiding their declines in short doses and may be capable of maintaining social graces. It’s common for concerned family to ask questions and get reasonable and assuring answers. “Did you eat dinner, Mom?” to which she may reply “Yes, I did. It was delicious.” She’s given an appropriate answer; however, it may not be accurate. Only when they spend a few days and nights with their loved one to experience the occasional strange comment or odd choices or changes in discernment or judgment do they begin to see the truth.

Harry’s pride and his desire to fulfill his promise to Susan kept him from sharing the truth with anyone — even their children.

For most spouse caregivers, daily living becomes increasingly stressful and isolating. Many struggle with the perception that getting help is a form

cency and laziness? Or is it a lack of direction and leadership? Could it also be the way the person sees themselves?

Meaning that the person full of drive and ambition may have a healthy selfimage and see themselves performing at a higher level than most. Where someone with a low self-esteem may not be as focused on performing or functioning at that same level.

Whether you are looking to be a person who gets things done, or you are looking to work with people who have a strong work ethic, look at the behaviors that are currently taking place in your own life or look at the behaviors of the people you are looking to hire or work with. Many times we want to manage results for ourselves and others, and that really cannot be done.

We can only measure our results, not really manage them. But we can manage behaviors to drive productivity and accomplishment for ourselves and others.

Here are just a few behaviors that

a room can be, and my thoughts were on what I had just heard, and where my life was headed.

I still quote him all the time, in my columns and books, to myself, to Jennifer, to the dog.

Almost word for word, I could hand you “My Back Pages” and “Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again.”

“Don’t think Twice, It’s Alright,” same thing.

Oh, we parted ways for a while, after his motorcycle accident. That didn’t last long.

My friend hasn’t refused the award — he announced late last week that he will accept it. It simply took him a while to say thanks. He said he will attend the Dec. 10 Nobel ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, “if at all possible.”

Jean-Paul Sartre refused the award altogether, in 1959, saying he did not

want to be “institutionalized.” Sartre once said, “Hell is other people.” He wasn’t exactly Mr. Green Jeans, and neither is my friend.

He ended a concert that came after the award was announced with Frank Sinatra’s “Why Try to Change Me Now?” “I’ll go away weekends, leave the keys in the door, but why try to change me now?”

Perfect.

Bob Dylan’s effect on me has been deeply meaningful and enduring. His words, their cadence, clarity and ambiguity have always made me think.

Twice.

can turn inaction into productive action: Wake up earlier; create and work from an organized to-do list; prioritize tasks; set goals; set completion dates and time; schedule time to review progress and results; have an accountability partner; keep a journal of activities, thoughts, goals and progress; and work on a healthy self-image with a focus on mind, body, and spirit.

Now how about you? Are you someone who gets things done regardless of how many things are on your plate?

Or do you or someone you know need some help with ambition and drive?

Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can move from inaction to action to increase our productivity, it really will be a better than good week.

Donald Trump comes to Denver area Candidate speaks about Obamacare, Clinton emails, media

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Highlands Ranch resident Ana Maria Chiafalo, a first-generation immigrant, joined an estimated 5,000 people at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, carrying a sign that read “Latina for Trump.”

She and her husband had come to

listen to Donald Trump at his Oct. 29 campaign stop in the swing county, which is about evenly divided among Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters.

“We know the platform he’s standing on and we’re 100 percent behind it,” Chiafalo said.

When asked about why her candidate seems to be polling so poorly with other Latinos, Chiafalo said much of that perception is due to Hispanic media, which she calls biased.

“If you talk to other legal Hispanics, they feel the same as I do,” Chiafalo said. “It’s not about immigrants, it’s

Missing link to wildlife corridor secured Douglas County buys land for ‘wonderful wildlife habitat’

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For nearly $2 million, Douglas County has acquired the missing link in an approximate 12-milelong wildlife corridor that will allow animals — primarily elk and deer — to migrate from the Pike National Forest, southwest of Douglas County, to conservation land south of Highlands Ranch.

The new parcel completes a seamless route during animals’ seasonal migrations, said Cheryl Matthews, director of Open Space and Natural Resources in Douglas County.

Other protected lands in the corridor include Roxborough State Park, Dupont North Space and the Elk Run Wildlife Easement, which sit east and southeast of the Sterling Ranch development in northwest Douglas County.

Amanda Barker, executive

director of the Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts, said projects like this are “tremendously important.”

“Especially across the metro region, we’ve got developing populations and stresses on our natural resources,” she said.

Without the help of wildlife corridors, “a lot of the urban sprawl might overcome some of these iconic landscapes that we’ve come to expect and really treasure.”

Projects like Douglas County’s help to strike that balance, Barker said.

The property, called Plateau Ranch, is 206 acres of grassland between Sterling Ranch and the Red Mesa & Sharptail Open Space, which are west of Highway 85.

Douglas County has sought to purchase it since the late 1990s.

It finally did so on Oct. 19 for $1,957,000, using the Open Space Sales and Use Tax. According to a Douglas County staff report, the land was previously advertised for $30,000 an acre — or $13 million. At that time, Plateau Ranch was part of a larger parcel.

The property was eventually split. The 206 acres was then

the county, the land likely could have gone to 35-acre housing developments.

“It’s on a high hill so the views from that property would have been incredible,” Matthews said.

But developing the land into housing would dramatically alter the wildlife corridor, she said.

Potential property owners could have built numerous structures or worked livestock on the acreages, obstructing the flow of migration.

“As development has encroached on them,” she said, “their passages have gotten narrower and narrower.”

The shrinking open space hinders animals’ movement during colder months of the year.

As winter arrives, Matthews said, they migrate to lower terrain near Plum Creek in Douglas County or the Highlands Ranch Backcountry.

Despite being a choice piece for development, Hess said, the wildlife may need it more. Its quiet location makes them feel safe, he said, creating a refuge. Today, he’s glad it’s in the county’s possession.

“It was objectively the best use of the ground,” Hess said. “The ground itself is wonderful wildlife habitat.”

appraised at $9,500 an acre, the price at which it sold.

Under the county’s ownership, a conservation easement will keep the land protected from development. It will also be open for public use, Matthews said, for activities such as hiking or hunting.

The land was an important purchase, she said. A clearly defined corridor helps prevent animals from wandering into private property or backyards.

Other points in the passage allow them to move beneath roads like Highway 85. There, Matthews said, they might otherwise cross over the road, causing harm to themselves and drivers.

For approximately 30 years, investment groups Plateau Ranch No. One, LLC and Aberfeldy Joint Venture, LLC, comprised of four individuals, owned Plateau Ranch. The property includes grassland and a pond but no other improvements, said Jim Hess, managing partner for the Plateau Ranch group.

“There had been a lot of interest over the years from developers,” he said.

Check out different options for Turkey Day

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether it’s a slice of juicy white meat or a slab of greasy dark meat, the staple of a Thanksgiving meal is the turkey.

How a turkey is prepped and cooked differs from household to household.

Some swear by an old family recipe.

Some look to food magazines for inspiration. And some prefer to let other people do the cooking.

Whatever it may be, there are plenty of options for Turkey Day in metro Denver.

Attend a class

Uncorked Kitchen — an interactive dining experience in Centennial — has upcoming classes for those that need some inspiration or help in the kitchen.

Owners Eric and Katie Robbins opened the kitchen, at 171 S. Chester St., just over a year ago. The kitchen hosts a variety of events, including cooking lessons, private parties and date nights.

On Nov. 16, Uncorked presents a Taste of Uncorked - Thanksgiving Day Sides class. The hands-on lesson will leave participants with two classic dishes made from scratch, including a fresh green bean casserole and roasted sweet potatoes with a twist.

And on Nov. 23, the kitchen is hosting a Take & Eat Pies class.

“You leave with your sides and pies for Thanksgiving so all you have to do is cook your turkey,” Katie Robbins said.

Although the classes don’t focus on prepping a turkey, chefs can answer any questions a turkey-cooker may have, Robbins said.

FIVE WAYS TO COOK A TURKEY BRAISED — The turkey is fried and then stewed for juicier meat.

FRIED — The turkey is fried in oil or fat, which takes less time.

GRILLED — The turkey is cooked on an outdoor grill, which in turn creates more room in the kitchen.

SMOKED — The turkey is cooked in a smoker, a type of barbecuing or slow cooking that adds to the flavor.

SPATCHCOCKED — The turkey is laid flat — backbone removed — for quicker cooking time and crispier skin.

Source: Reviewed.com, part of the USA Today network One of those chefs is her husband, Eric. He recommends two types of turkey-prep methods. The first is spatchcocking — when the bird is flattened into one layer by removing the backbone — which a butcher can do.

In turn, the meat is moist and the skin is crunchier.

The reason Eric likes it is because he can get butter and herbs beneath the skin.

“And everything cooks at the same time,” he said.

The second style Eric prefers is a roulade turkey. The bird is butterflied, filled with ingredients such as aromatics and greens, rolled up and roasted. For the inside, Eric likes to use a bitter green, such as kale, and sweet potatoes or cranberries.

“If you want a little crunch,” he said, “you can put in some nuts, like pecans.”

The final product is a slice of meat with a kick of flavor in the center.

for?

WORLD’S SIMPLEST TURKEY from the Food Network, an American cable channel Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Pull the neck and giblets out of the cavity; throw out the liver and save the rest of the giblets for gravy.

Dry the turkey with paper towels, season inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill the turkey with chopped onions, carrots, apples and herbs, then place breast-side up in a roasting pan and brush with melted butter.

Tent with foil and roast for 2 hours — for a 10- to 12-pound turkey; add an extra 15 minutes per pound for larger birds.

Remove the foil, baste with more melted butter and crank the oven to 425 degrees. Roast for another hour or until the meat at the thigh registers 165 degrees. Let rest while you make the gravy.

TURKEY: News ways to enjoy classic dish FROM PAGE 14

Use your resources

One step into a supermarket and you’ll find everything you need, from the recipe to the ingredients.

Several food-focused magazines, such as Saveur, Food & Wine and the Food Network, are sold in chain grocery stores. Some publications, like Bon Appetit Magazine, list ingredients and step-by-step directions. The easy-tofollow lingo makes cooking for a crowd a little less daunting.

And if you’re in a time crunch, some supermarkets will prepare the entire Thanksgiving meal.

Whole Foods Market has a selection of Thanksgiving menus online, including the Classic Thanksgiving Dinner Menu, the Unexpected Thanksgiving Menu, the Vegan Thanksgiving Menu and more. All menu items include ingredients, directions, number of servings and nutritional information.

All you have to do is fill out a form online or in-store and voila — your Thanksgiving meal is taken care of.

Make a reservation

If you want to skip the dirty dishes, several restaurants in metro Denver offer Thanksgiving Day specials.

Kachina Southwestern Grill, 10600 Westmin-

ster Blvd. in Westminster, is hosting an allyou-can-eat meal starting at 11 a.m. on Nov. 24.

Recommendations are strongly recommended, said Andrea Keller, morning supervisor.

“People come back every year for the food,” Keller said.

The cost is $45 per adult and $15 per child.

The restaurant serves a traditional turkey dinner with a southwestern flare. On the dessert menu is churros and spicy chocolate ice cream. Customers like the idea of unlimited food and being waited on, Keller said.

“And it’s the atmosphere in the restaurant,” she said. “It’s just comforting.”

Another option is Zink Kitchen + Bar. The Greenwood Village restaurant, at 7801 E Orchard Road, offers a Thanksgiving buffet from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 24. Reservations are required. The cost is $37.95 for adults, $16.95 for ages 7-15 and free for ages 6 and under.

Zink will have a hot, cold and sweet bar equipped with traditional Thanksgiving plates, such as slow-roasted turkey breast with thyme country gravy, loaded mashed potatoes and house-made pumpkin pie.

The buffet is an experience, the restaurant’s host, Ricky Pheng, said. The chefs are approachable, the service is quick and the food is comforting.

“We will make you feel like you’re not just here to eat,” Pheng said. “You’re here to be a part of the celebration of Thanksgiving.”

Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means it’s time to start planning for turkey prep. The options are endless, from a traditional roast turkey to a grilled turkey on top of a beer can.

Directions: Combine oil, salt, and pepper to make a paste.

Rub over outside of turkey.

Tie legs together with kitchen twine.

Place about 50 coals in a chimney starter, and ignite; heat until just gray. Place a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum roasting pan in the center of the bottom rack. Pour coals onto rack on either side of pan, dividing them evenly. Replace top grill rack.

Place turkey on center of rack over pan, and cover.

Grill, adding 8 coals to each pile every 45 minutes to maintain heat, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding bone, registers 165 degrees.

Begin checking after about 3 hours. Tent with parchment-lined foil. Let stand 30 minutes.

Source: marthastewart. com BBQ Turkey Ingredients 2 cups butter, divided 15-pound whole turkey, neck and giblets removed ¼ cup chicken soup base

3 sweet onions, peeled and cut into wedges 5 apples, cored and cut into wedges 2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste 750-milliliter bottle dry white wine Directions: Preheat a gas grill for low heat.

Rub some of the butter all over the turkey, inside and out, then rub with chicken base.

Cut remaining butter into cubes and toss with onions, apples and garlic in a large bowl. Stuff the bird with this mixture and place in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Fold the turkey skin around the neck area to cover the hole. Turn the turkey over and pour wine into the opening at the other end until the turkey is full. Set the turkey breast side up.

Place the roasting pan on the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you have a pop-up timer or heat-safe meat thermometer, insert it into the turkey breast. Close the lid.

Roast until the temperature in the breast reads 170 degrees and the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees, about 4 hours depending on the temperature.

When the temperature is getting close, remove the aluminum foil covering the turkey and allow it to brown during the final minutes of cooking. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Organization helps people with autism ‘be heard’

Nonprofit hosts voter registration drive for people with disabilities

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Caitlin Schall helps Owen Xiao navigate the Secretary of State’s online voter registration site on Oct. 25 at a disabled voter registration drive in Englewood. Xiao will vote for the first time in this election.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY people with intellectual disabilities is the ballot box.

A 2013 study from Lisa Schur, a professor at the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations, found that people with disabilities vote at a lower rate than other segments of the population. Approximately 3 million eligible disabled citizens didn’t participate in the 2012 election.

Reasons for the low turnout range

from poor accessibility for those with physical impairments to attitudes of poll workers who question the eligibility of a voter who arrives with someone to assist them in the ballot booth.

While Thome said she isn’t anticipating any problems on Election Day, Nov. 8, she is reaching out to county election officials and attorneys in the field to ensure things go smoothly when she and her volunteers get out the vote.

“No one can be denied their vote because the people around them are unsure of their intellectual capabilities,” she said. “We’re hoping we don’t have any issues but if we do we’re happy to go out and advocate for them.”

Anyone able to “direct” their vote, by speaking, signing or pointing at a ballot is legally able to vote, and Thome said Garden’s volunteers are professionally trained to modify information to help their clients understand their choices.

The staff also calls clients to ensures they’ve received their ballots, arrange transportation to polling places and in some cases, accompany clients into the voting booth to help them cast their vote.

What they don’t do is offer sugges-

Like many people with autism, Owen Xiao doesn’t say much.

But he still has a voice, and Lauren Thome wants to make sure it’s heard on Election Day. Xiao registered to vote for the first time at a registration drive Thome organized for people with disabilities on Oct. 25.

He said it felt “pretty good.”

The drive, held at the Developmental Pathways office space on Inverness Drive in northern Douglas County, ran from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., enlisting three volunteers per three-hour shift.

The goal was to give disabled citizens, a group often left out of the political conversation, the chance to speak up.

“They’re stakeholders, just like everyone else,” she said. “They should be heard.”

In 2010, the Englewood resident started Garden Inc., a nonprofit that provides after-school activities, employment programs and other integration services for between 100 and 150 clients a week, getting clients out of their home and into their neighborhoods.

The next place she wants to take

tions or opinions.

Caitlyn Schall, the Garden employee who helped Xiao complete his registration, said the many ballot initiatives and amendments on this year’s ballot make her services especially necessary.

“It’s a really daunting process to begin with,” she said. “It was hard enough for my boyfriend — it took him two days to fill it out.”

At day’s end, the drive registered five new voters. It may not seem like a lot, but for Thome, and those five newly registered voters, the drive was a success.

“We were able to register five individuals who wouldn’t have otherwise been given the opportunity” to vote, she said. “We’ll count it as a win.”

Thome said Garden will host registration drives in future elections, and they’re still available to help anyone they didn’t see at the drive vote this year.

“We’re working to build a conversation in the community, and in two years we’ll have that conversation again,” she said. “We’ve started something that will only get bigger and better.”

SHOOTING: Officer cleared

DISTRICT ATTORNEY: Brauchler mulls future plans FROM PAGE 6

FROM PAGE 3

Johnson said Brite was “without a pulse” when he left the scene and was given a 1 percent chance of survival by doctors the night of the incident.

“He is a warrior, through and through,” Johnson said. “Two words that aren’t in his vocabulary... those are `can’t’ and `won’t.’ “ Johnson said the case is essentially closed but he added that the sheriff ’s office will continue to work with federal and local officials to resolve questions such as how Rodick obtained the AK47 assault rifle he used to shoot Brite and fired at other responding officers.

“As of right now, 10 percent of our prosecutors are active duty guard or reserve members, and from every branch,” Brauchler said. “I don’t take any credit for putting that in their heart, but I do take credit for creating an environment that made it so inviting and welcoming and supportive that they would say ‘I’m going to pursue this.’ I hope that that continues.”

While his notoriety has come from prosecuting high-profile cases like that of Aurora movie theater murderer James Holmes, Brauchler prefers to talk about the work he’s done to restructure his office, such as slowing the rate its budget is

about legal immigrants.”

The tone and topics of Trump’s speech followed familiar campaign themes, with a few small nods to Colorado-specific topics. Trump repeated his pledge to “repeal and replace Obamacare,” saying that Coloradoans in particular were about to receive bad news about health insurance premiums rising as a result of the program.

Also adding some local flavor were introduction speeches by Colorado politicians, including state Sen. Laura Woods, a Republican who is up for reelection in Senate District 19, representing Arvada and Westminster.

Nine minutes into his talk, Trump brought up his presidential opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the latest revelation that the FBI still might investigate her use of a private email server during her time in that position.

Trump paused on several occasions to crowd chants of “Lock her up! Lock her up!” He also earned big cheers from the crowd when criticizing Clinton’s support of bringing more Syrian refugees to the United States.

“The Hillary refugee plan would

leave us with generations and generations of radicals and terrorists,” Trump said.

Republican state Sen. Tim Neville, who represents District 16, the area around the Jeffco Fairgrounds and to the west, said Trump’s words on anti-corruption stuck with him.

“You need to clean up government, or no one will trust government,” Neville said.

Trump also criticized the media and spotlighted the movement behind his campaign.

“She (Clinton) is a candidate of yesterday,” Trump said near the end of his speech. “We, all of us, are a movement of tomorrow.”

When asked after the rally why some prominent GOP politicians had chosen to distance themselves from Trump, Neville, who is not up for reelection this year, said he thought they were just focused on their own elections instead.

“He has a strong agenda and a strong platform that I think all Republicans can support,” Neville said, though he conceded that personality may be an issue.

A group of about half a dozen Trump protesters with signs gathered near the back of the rally crowd. Among them was Deanna from Lakewood, who came with her

adult daughter. Deanna said she was not comfortable giving out her full last name in earshot of several Trump supporters ringing the group.

“We just wanted to observe, see what he wanted to say, see what other people wanted to say,” Deanna said.

Earlier in the rally, Deanna said she had several “civil and adult” discussions with Trump supporters, talking about positions, and seeing if they could find common ground.

As the rally-goers dispersed, however, the group found itself surrounded by less congenial Trump supporters.

“We’ve had three individuals calmly escorted away from our vicinity by police,” Deanna said, gesturing to law enforcement officers who had quietly taken up positions between the two groups.

Jeffco Sheriff ’s Department spokesman Mark Techmeyer said 12 law enforcement agencies helped with security and traffic during the campaign stop, including Lakewood, Golden and Westminster police departments, in partnership with the U.S. Secret Service and the TSA. No arrests were reported at the rally, Techmeyer said.

date for governor and U.S. senator in the past, and Brauchler isn’t shy about revisiting at least one of those possibilities, if it keeps him close to home.

“I am probably an average father at best. I am not going to be any better spending more of my time in Washington, D.C., away from my family,” he said of his decision not to run for Senate.

“The only other big office that is out there in the near future is the governor’s office,” Brauchler said.

“I’m flattered to think people think I can do that job, and some people do. At the appropriate time, I will give it more serious consideration and see if there’s something I can do.”

increasing and growing the Douglas County branch’s staff to allow it to function more independently.

Looking forward, Brauchler would like to see funding for special prosecutors for gangs and heroin, two problems he said are getting worse nationally and locally.

“To effectively tackle those pieces, you have to have targeted law enforcement and prosecution,” he said, describing the position as someone who would be involved with a case from the arrest to the sentencing.

A discussion on Brauchler’s future plans wouldn’t be complete without asking whether or not he plans to seek higher office. His name has been floated as a candi-

SIDES from page 19 College, where he teaches narrative nonfiction. He was winner of the 2007 SPUR Award for best nonfiction historical epic of the American West.

Early in a New York Times review of “Blood and Thunder,” reviewer N. Scott Momaday chose a description of mountain men: “As forerunners of Western civilization, creeping up the river valleys and across the mountain passes, the trappers brought smallpox and typhoid, they brought guns and whiskey and venereal disease, they brought the puzzlement of money and the gleam of steel. And on their liquored breath, they whispered the coming of an

unimaginable force, of a gathering shadow on the eastern horizon, gorging itself on the continent as it pressed steadily this way …”

It is this command of language and his sketches of characters that bring them to life in precise brief portraits that make his prose so readable. At the time this was published, his story of the opening of the West filled a void in accounts of Western history, Momaday wrote.

Manifest Destiny meant a clash of cultures that had not been recorded in depth.

‘Luscious Watercolors’ brings light to Littleton Town Hall Arts Center hosts artworks by three painters

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Luscious Watercolors” will brighten Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery in Littleton as our days grow shorter. It will feature three painters, opening Nov. 8 and closing on Jan. 10. A Meet-the-Artists reception is planned for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18.

Participating artists are Rosanne Sterne (Littleton), Anita Winter (Centennial) and Patricia Barr Clarke (Highlands Ranch) — all members of the Colorado Watercolor Society, with distinctive individual styles.

Longtime Littleton resident Sterne, who exhibits her work at Willow, an Artisan’s Market in Littleton and the Niza Knoll Gallery in Denver, will include landscapes from Colorado, New Mexico and Vermont, she wrote.

Sterne is also a musician (first flute in the Littleton Symphony) and poet.

IF YOU GO LUSCIOUS WATERCOLORS opens Nov. 8 and runs until Jan. 10 at Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Admission is free. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and during performances. A reception will be open to the public from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18. (“A Christmas Story: The Musical” opens Nov. 11.)

She said her paintings “are expressions of life and optimism, windows into human experience and explorations of color.”

Patricia Barr Clarke and her husband moved to Highlands Ranch recently after living in Denver’s Park Hill for 37 years. She is a longtime plein air painter, a member of the Denver Art Students League and loves to travel.

She recently spent 10 days in Willemstad, Curacao, in the Caribbean, where she exhibited and conducted workshops. She is represented by the Santa Fe Fine Art Brokerage in New Mexico and has had work included in Littleton’s annual Own an Original

show. (The 2016 OAO opens in midNovember.)

Anita Winter participated in the recent Jefferson County “In Plein Sight” event, held in Jeffco’s beautiful park system, as well as a similar 2016 event hosted by the Douglas County Land Conservancy. She is represented by Willow, an Artisan’s Market in Littleton and The Framed Image in Denver.

She teaches at Judy Patti’s popular Art Studio on South Broadway in Littleton and elsewhere.

She has been interested in art since childhood, growing up in Michigan and Mexico City. She paints in watercolor and more recently in oils and says her “goal is to capture a moment in time.” She paints “to celebrate, explore and give thanks …”

Weighed down: Students worry about how to pay for college Finances, loans loom large over choices for future higher education

BY LEAH DEMINSKI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

High school senior Mark Twal has worked at Bed Bath & Beyond for the past year. Most of the money he earns goes toward his college savings account.

“I have no help from my family,” said Twal, who would be the first in his family — originally from Jordan — to attend college. “So any money I will have is generated from me.”

Twal’s father died 10 years ago. He helps support his mother and supervise his two younger brothers. He believes a university degree is essential to his success.

“Education to me,” Twal said, “is a tool to help me in what I plan to do.”

But for Twal, a senior at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch — and like many of the 20 million other students heading to college nationwide — money is always on his mind.

According to Edvisors, a financial information website for students and parents, the average student loan debt was $35,051 in 2015 — $2,000 more than in 2014. The percent of students grad-

Mark Twal, a senior at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, has worked at Bed, Bath & Beyond for the past year, saving money for college. His father died 10 years ago, so he helps support his mother and two younger brothers. “The struggle for me right now is finding a college that’s going to be financially worth it for me,” said Twal, who wants to study theatrical arts and business.

LEAH DEMINSKI uating with debt is about 70 percent.

For recent college graduates entering the workforce, that kind of financial burden can often have long-term effects, said Mark Kantrowitz, a nationally recognized expert on student loans and financial aid.

Students with excessive debt are more likely to delay large life-cycle events, such as home buying, as opposed to students with affordable debt, said Kantrowitz in his publication, “Who Graduates With Excessive Student Loan Debt,” published in December. These students may also take a job

out of their desired field or feel more unsatisfied with their undergraduate education.

Mountain Vista guidance counselor Aaron Ragon has witnessed the increased stress over finances since he started counseling in 2007.

He estimates that approximately 40 percent of students he sees come for advice on college and finances.

“I think that the recession, with the exponential cost increases for college, have forced a fiscal reality that can no longer be ignored,” Ragon said.

For many students, finances are a

“If you don’t have the money to start b with you’re kinda screwed,” Mountainl s Vista senior Haley Salmi said.

Because of the high cost of a four- d f year degree at a university, more students are starting at a community college to complete prerequisite E p courses to save money. d Colorado has 144,000 community college students, 60 percent of them h p under the age of 25.

COLLEGE: Toward affordability FROM PAGE 24

“You can really save money by going to a community college” said Angie Binder, director of public information for the Colorado Community College System. “It’s half of the tuition of the public four-year universities.”

In addition to the hefty savings, she said, 58 percent of students in the Colorado Community College System graduate debt-free.

The rising cost of tuition also has become a national concern for politicians and legislators.

According to Young Invincibles, a nonprofit that works to involve young adults from 18 to 34 in politics for the current presidential campaign, a candidate’s approach to student debt will be a large influence on their vote for president.

“No one should go broke because they choose to go to college,” President Barack Obama said in January 2010, after introducing his plan for student loan forgiveness.

Through the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, passed by Congress in 2010, students who enroll in 2014 or later have several choices on how to pay back loans.

They can choose to limit monthly loan payments to 10 percent of their income, and also have the opportunity to have loans forgiven if they are not completely paid for after 20 years.

In Colorado, congressional representatives on both sides of the aisle have co-sponsored legislation to lower education costs and expedite loan repayment.

“I firmly believe we must take a holistic approach in reforming our higher education system, that includes an accurate financial picture prior to enrollment,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, who

represents parts of Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

One proposal co-sponsored by Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who represents parts of Jefferson and Adams counties, would allow students to repay loans in exchange for community service.

For the class of 2017, money remains a significant issue.

Salmi spent the summer with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science doing an anthropology internship.

“Since getting this internship, I have gotten more confidence as to where I could go,” said Salmi, who has been accepted at University of New Mexico, University of Colorado and Northern Arizona University.

However, she is still considering getting her associate’s degree at Arapahoe Community College to complete her prerequisites and save money.

Twal would like to attend University of Northern Colorado in Greeley to study theatrical arts and business. Tuition, room and board, and other fees bring the cost for in-state students to about $20,000 a year.

He knows he’ll have to take out loans to pay for that education.

“It’s hard to save because I’m usually in shows after school,” said Twal, who is involved in his high school theater program.

“The struggle for me right now is finding a college that’s going to be financially worth it for me.”

But as the main male figure in his family, he knows his educational aspirations could have a large impact on his younger brothers.

“It’s leading the path for my brothers,” Twal said. “That makes me feel like I’ve done a good job at being a big brother.”

Leah Deminski is a senior at Mountain Vista High School on the Mountain Vista Media staff.

The book, resting on the stairs, stopped me in my tracks as I walked up to my bedroom: “Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be,” 176 pages of stories about why big-name, high-cost colleges don’t necessarily guarantee success any more than a public state university would.

My parents, trying to Leah Deminski help ease my anxiety about choosing the right college, had undoubtedly left it where I would stumble on it.

A senior this year, I began my search a year ago. As the third child in my family — and the third to go to college — I didn’t think it would be so daunting, frustrating and disheartening.

The pressure I put on myself was intense and inescapable. All around me my peers were getting into insanely selective schools and seemed to have a strong sense of direction. I was inundated with options, opinions and my own lofty expectations.

Choosing a college, I discovered, is more complex and convoluted than I could have ever dreamed.

I am a motivated kid, so as soon as I realized some of my peers had already taken the ACT I felt I was already behind.

In desperation to feel ahead of the curve, I signed up for the next available testing date, which was October 2015. After weeks of studying, I walked away from my first ACT with a 26 out of a possible 36 score.

Family and friends told me it was a good score. But when the kid next to you scores a 35 with little effort, comforting words are few.

I became obsessed with improving my ACT. I doubled my study time with my tutor, took every practice test I could, made myself a goal: a 30 on the ACT or bust.

I was almost constantly researching colleges to see if my score was enough to get in.

Second semester of junior year found me frequently in my guidance counselor’s office, trying to find the most selective

GUEST COLUMN

schools with my major and figuring out how to make myself more competitive.

I felt I wasn’t good enough because I didn’t stand out as some of my other friends did. Like the one who speaks several languages and is from Ethiopia. Or the friend who is a musical prodigy.

I don’t have a 35 on the ACT. I am not fluent in any language other than English.

My walls are not plastered with medals, certificates or ribbons.

I am not at much of a financial disadvantage.

I felt as though I needed to do something, anything, to persuade a college to fight for me. If that meant joining a bunch of clubs I didn’t care about and spending money on a tutor to study for the ACT, so be it.

Then I read this book, and was slapped in the face with the realization of the ridiculous game in which I had allowed myself to participate.

The past months have felt like a real-life game of Monopoly, except it is real money and investments on the line. Does a higher tuition guarantee a greater return on investment? Does brand guarantee status?

Does prestige guarantee a job after graduation? A career?

I realized my return on investment depends on me. It depends on my effort and drive. I am responsible for my own successes and my own choices. Where I go to college won’t determine my future. I will.

Many months of studying and three ACT tests later, I finished with a superscore of 30. It was no 36, which yes, someone at my school did receive. But I’m good with that — I met my goal.

The only sad thing is it took a book and a whole year — and lots of advice from family, school counselors and friends — to realize I’ve always been good enough and that the college who gets me better be ready.

Because I know I am.

AGING: Choices are hard FROM PAGE 11

of “giving up.” For this reason, many wait for a crisis before planning for or accepting help. Tragically, over 60 percent of spouse caregivers die before their partner with dementia does.

Paradoxically, finding and accepting appropriate care can better honor the intent behind “the promise” to never move into “an old folks’ home.” By improving social connectivity and providing dignity in caregiving, both spouses may still actively grieve their losses, but they wouldn’t be doing so in isolation.

Consider this quote

from the book “The Best Friends Approach to Alzheimer’s Care”: “The promise to always keep mother at home might have been made with the best intentions and hopes, but inherent in that commitment is the idea that the family will do what is best for her. It may be a promise that should be broken, because keeping mother at home many not be best for her.”

Jaguars edge Golden Eagles Rock Canyon wins crucial match with Mountain Vista

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Oct. 25 volleyball clash between Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista lived up to expectations as it took five sets for the Jaguars to cement first place in the league by winning the match, 3-2. Both teams came

into the match looking to extend winning streaks as Mountain Vista had won seven straight and Rock Canyon had won 12 straight.

“This was an unbelievable night, as it was a great match against a great team,” Rock Canyon Coach Angela Nylund-Hanson said after the match.

“It was back and forth but we pulled it out at the end. We didn’t change anything in the final set. I just told the girls to go out, have fun and do their best. They did and we won.”

Mountain Vista Coach Doug Schafer said it was a battle between two very good teams and the match could

have gone either way.

“It was a great match,” he said.

“We probably should have done a better job blocking their right side. But it was a fun game that we need to put behind us.”

Key moments Mountain Vista won the first set 2514. Rock Canyon took the early lead and won the second set, 25-21.

The third set was seesaw action with the score tied eight times before the Golden Eagles won, 26-24. The SEE VOLLEYBALL, P34

onderosa’s Cameron Nuzman didn’t have any teammates in the race, but he wasn’t alone while running the course at Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs during the state cross country championships.

Nuzman warmed up by himself, not with six or seven teammates like many fellow competitors. He was the only Ponderosa runner who qualified for OVERTIME the Oct. 29 state meet.

But many members of the Mustangs’ team were on hand to support Nuzman.

“It helps to have the team there, even if they were not running,” he said.

Nuzman, a senior, Jim Benton finished 43rd in the boys 4A race with a time of 17:12.5.

Green Mountain freshman Kasey Klocek, who was the only Rams’ qualifier in the girls 4A race, was fourth in the individual standings with a 19:12.6 clocking.

“It wasn’t bad being the only runner,” she said. “I had the team cheering me on.”

An ice day I have always admired runners, but sometimes it doesn’t look fun at the end of cross country races.

It was a warm day with the temperature reaching near 75 degrees at the state cross country championships and there were plenty of runners ushered into the medical tent for aid.

It looked way too busy to me, but apparently it was not unusual, according to a medical technician who said it was pretty typical with dehydration, exhaustion and swelled knees and ankles after falls.

It was estimated that at the start of the day there were at least 30, 20-pound bags of ice on hand to help runners recover.

Jeffco softball honors Jefferson County announced its allleague softball selections, and the top individual honors were shared by four schools.

Arvada West’s Brenna Millikan was tabbed as the Class 5A Coach of the Year and pitcher Gianna Browly of Ralston Valley was selected as the Most Valuable Player.

In the Class 4A Jeffco, Valor Christian junior pitcher Ali Kilponen was named the Player of the Year and Dan Porreco of D’Evelyn was the Coach of the Year.

Mountain Vista teams finish second at state

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista came close to a double victory on Oct. 29 at the state high school cross country championship at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.

However, both the Golden Eagles boys and girls finished second in the Class 5A competition and transported two runner-up trophies home.

Monarch denied the Vista boys a chance to capture their fifth straight state title. Monarch finished with 88 points, compared to 97 for the Golden Eagles.

Mountain Vista’s girls were seven points behind Broomfield in the race for the team title. Broomfield’s five scoring

runners had 55 points and the Golden Eagles, with three runners in the top 10, wound up with 62 points.

“We didn’t do too bad, we’ll take it,” Mountain Vista coach Jonathan Dalby said. “The boys faced adversity all year and Monarch just worked harder than us. It was the first time the girls got in the top two. They ran great. We just got beat by better teams. Overall, we did the best we could.”

Mountain Vista runners paced all runners from Douglas County schools on a warm day with temperatures reaching 75 degrees.

Senior Joshua Romine of Mountain Vista finished second to Monarch’s Isaac Green in the individual boys race.

Arapahoe High School welcomes the Class of 2021!

You are invited to attend:

Ponderosa junior Maddie Gabel has a vivid memory of last season’s state playoff soccer game in which she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee.

“I slid and blocked a shot, and once I made contact (with the ground), that’s when I heard it pop,” she said of the sound coming from her knee. “It took 10 months total for a full recovery.”

Gabel was far from alone in her plight on the sidelines.

Numerous studies have concluded that girls and women are more susceptible to ACL injuries than boys and men, with most reports stating female athletes are four to eight times more likely to tear the knee ligament.

“There are more ACL injuries in women ... Younger women are more at risk, usually the adolescents, teenagers and up to the early 20s, in general,” said Dr. Michele Wolcott, an associate professor in the University of Colorado Department of Orthopedics.

In the Douglas County School District over the past five years, 42 ACL

injuries in girls have been reported.

Katherine West, head trainer for Jefferson County Public Schools, said there were 69 knee injuries among girls in Jeffco in the past six years, and 27 were ACL injuries.

Why does it happen?

Sports like soccer, basketball and volleyball that require one-step deceleration, changing direction and jumping put the most strain on athletes’ ACLs, those of girls and women in particular, experts say.

But why are female athletes more susceptible to the injury?

“Obviously, there is a difference between females and males,” said Dr. Mitchell Seemann, team physician for Regis University and D’Evelyn High School. “There have been a couple conferences over the past few years that have come together to try to figure out why (there are more ACL injuries among women). The most common reason for it is what we call neuromuscular factors.”

One factor includes less hamstring strength in female athletes than in their male counterparts, according to certified chiropractic sports physician Dr. Steven Horwitz, writing on the website MomsTeam, a resource for parents of athletes. Stronger hamstrings can help protect against ACL injuries, he said.

Learning about the dangers of knee injuries

According to mayoclinic.org, an “ACL injury is the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament — one of the major ligaments in your knee. ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops, jumping or changes in direction — such as basketball, soccer, football, tennis, downhill skiing, volleyball and gymnastics.

“Many people hear or feel a ‘pop’ in the knee when an ACL injury occurs. Your knee may swell, feel unstable and become

too painful to bear weight.

Depending on the severity of your ACL injury, treatment may include rest and rehabilitation exercises to help you regain strength and stability or surgery to replace the torn ligament followed by rehabilitation.”

A ligament, according to, merriam-webster.com, is “a tough piece of tissue in your body that holds bones together or keeps an organ in place.”

Highlands Ranch Herald 33

KNEE: Injuries can cut careers short FROM PAGE 32

Other factors, experts say, include ligaments that tend to have more give, a smaller ACL and tendency toward poor, flat-footed landings after jumping, which puts the knee in a positon to buckle and stress the ACL. “We can address some factors,” Wolcott said. “We can’t change their skeleton or size, so we work on (what) we can, which is how you jump, land and control your landings.

“There are all sorts of jumps, landing drills, running around cones and doing some agility (drills), doing the cutting and pivoting things when you are not in a game situation so you are controlled and focused on doing it correctly.”

Trying to prevent injuries Seemann and West attempted to establish a Jeffco districtwide ACLinjury prevention plan called the Cincinnati Sportsmetrics Program a few years ago.

“We did have to abandon it, and we learned something,” Seemann said. “One, coaches don’t want to take 15 or 20 minutes out of their practice to do this kind of stuff. The other factor is girls this age tend not to think this is going to happen to them.

“The major thing is it had to be done in a setting where you have perhaps one trainer and 30 kids on a soccer team. The key to the training is you have to make sure they are doing the training properly.”

Some area coaches are trying to take proactive measures.

Horizon’s softball team lost starting pitcher Kayla Kascak, who said she was hurt during a routine outfield drill in late August.

Hawks softball coach Gary Mares is aware of the importance of hamstring training. He has his players do a variety of exercises to strengthen hamstrings and other lower-body muscles.

“It is very important to train both the front quads and back hamstrings while training the leg muscles,” he said.

Castle View’s new girls soccer coach, Nichol Rodriguez, played college soccer for Notre Dame and the Puerto Rican national team and seven years in the Women’s Premier Soccer League.

“We will be implementing ACL prevention once a week during the season at the end of practices,” Rodriguez said of what’s ahead this spring. “Also, all of the lifting that is done in the offseason seeks to strengthen all of the muscles and ligaments around the knee for a preventive measure.”

Former University of Utah and National Basketball Association standout Keith Van Horn is executive director of the Premier

BY THE NUMBERS

PERCENT Of ACL injuries sustained by girls nationally involve little or no contact with another player, according to momsteam.com.

PERCENT Of the total girl basketball injuries sustained during the 2015-16 school year were to the knee, according to the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study.

Basketball Club, which has locations in Evergreen, Parker and Grand Junction.

He said the club puts a strong focus on ACL-prevention techniques.

“The teams that I coach at the beginning of every practice, with the girls, we implement a few warmup drills that incorporate the proper landing technique, knee positioning, hip strengthening and a number of different things in areas that tend to cause ACL injuries.

We started working with an agility group that comes in and works with all of our kids.”

Arapahoe girls basketball coach Jerry Knafelc has had one athlete, a junior varsity player, go down with an ACL injury in the past six seasons. He said training in the summer, fall and during the season has helped mitigate the ACL injuries.

Knafelc said the workouts include movement training, bleacher jumps, lifts with an emphasis on getting the glutes to activate, making sure the knees don’t come in when jumping or landing, and having girls look in the mirror to make sure their posture is correct.

“We put a lot of time into it,” he said. “That’s the only way it can happen … You have to have somebody with them to make sure they are doing it correctly.”

No such thing as prevention?

Gabel, the Ponderosa soccer player, said she’s not sure how much the drills and exercises help to prevent injuries like the one she sustained.

“Before I got hurt, I had done those exercises and after I got hurt, I have done a lot of them,” Gabel said. “As a preventive measure, I don’t really think it helps, but it’s always good to strengthen your muscles and try to do anything you can.

“What it comes down to, if it’s going to tear, it’s going to tear.”

VOLLEYBALL: Jaguars start season strong FROM PAGE 30

fourth set followed the same theme with the score tied seven times. The Jaguars pulled away to post a 25-19 win.

The fifth and deciding set started off even. With the score tied 11-11, Rock Canyon got the lead and won the match, 15-12.

Key players/statistics Keeley Davis led Rock Canyon in kills with 22. She also made 12 digs and received 23 serves. Riley Bradbury led the team in digs with 17, Skylar Lane led the team in assists with 51 and Reven Bradbury was the team leader in serves received with 25.

Alyssa Oswald was the kill leader for Mountain Vista with 15 and she also had six serving aces and 15 digs. Sam Novak was the dig leader with 30 and Annie Ell led the team in assists with 26.

They said it “It was a crazy and stressful out there tonight but it also was a lot of fun to be on the court for this one,” Jaguar Keeley Davis said after the match. “Emotionally, I was up and down. I was nervous but I

also wanted to play my hardest to do all I could to help our team. I was very nervous going into the final set but our team came together to win the match.”

Mountain Vista setter Annie Ell said the Golden Eagles came into the match knowing they faced a very good Rock Canyon team.

“We knew the outcome would be determined by errors,” she said after the match.

“It was a very intense match on both sides of the net. Unfortunately we made more errors than they did so they got the win.

But we will work to correct those errors to get ready to meet them again in the state playoffs.”

Going forward The win raised Rock Canyon’s overall record to 16 and 1, plus they are 9-0 in league, which assures they will finish first in the 5A/4A Continental League standings.

After the match, Mountain Vista was 14-3 overall and 7-2 in league, tied for third place in the league with Highlands Ranch.

The teams that advanced will be in the regional playoffs that must be completed

by Nov. 5, with the state tournament scheduled Nov. 11-12.

CROSS COUNTRY: 2nd at state FROM PAGE 31

“It went pretty well and I stayed comfortable early,” Romine said.

“My goal was to try to get Isaac but he was just too strong at the end. I’m still pretty happy.”

Teammate Carter Dillon came home in ninth place.

“I ran well, not as fast as I could,” Dillon said. “It was a pretty good race and I feel like I did my job. The course wasn’t too tough but the heat really did a number on all of us. There are some hills where you really have to push yourself.”

Rock Canyon senior Bailey Timmons was fourth in the boys race.

“I’m really happy with fourth.

I’ve never placed that high before in the state meet so it was really positive to grind against some awesome runners,” Timmons said. “It was hot but you can’t complain because everybody has to go out and do the same thing.”

Junior Michael Long of Doug-

las County was 37th and Cole Graham of Chaparral was 59th.

Both ran as individuals.

Freshman Jenna Fitzsimmons led the Vista girls with a fifthplace finish and sophomore Caroline Eck was eighth. The seven runners for Vista were either freshmen or sophomores.

“Our team really worked together and that made us push forward,” Eck said. “Lots of times, cross country seems like an individual sport but running with your teammates makes it that much better.”

Fitzsimmons said having teammates alongside helped.

“I ran good and having a teammate there helped me get through,” she said. “Caroline and I ran together in a lot of the race.”

Megan Koch, a junior from Highlands Ranch, was 12th and Shannon Osoba, a sophomore from Rock Canyon, was 23rd.

Valor Christian sophomore Keely Jones ran 11th in the Class 4A individual race.

A play to remember Several people have commented that the final play of the Oct. 28 football game between Cherry Creek and Prairie View was one to remember.

Prairie View senior Patrick McKinney, who is wheel chair bound with cerebral palsy, was given a hand-off and wheeled into the end zone while being cheered on by Thunderhawk and Bruins players.

Soaring Hawk students get outdoor education Kindergartners had chance to rock-climb, kayak at school

Invites Parents and Students to attend the HRHS Open House

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kindergarten students at Soaring Hawk Elementary School in Castle Rock spent the day climbing, kayaking and learning about the outdoors Oct. 25.

Avid 4 Adventure, a Boulder company that provides outdoor education experiences for kids, spent the week working and playing with Soaring Hawk Students. Each day a different grade level had the opportunity to mountain bike, rock climb, kayak and learn about the outdoors.

Kayaks floated along in a large inflatable pool outside the school and a portable climbing wall rose from the back of a truck. A mountain bike course was set up in the large grassy area by the school playground. Many of the students were not yet proficient on two wheels, so instead, students went on nature hikes around the campus.

One student, Cloe, said the program “makes her want to do outside stuff.”

Another student, Colin, said, “It’s fun being outside because it makes us stay healthy.”

“We really push sustainable learning at Soaring Hawk and in Douglas

When you put kids in an outdoor environment where they have to take risks in order to accomplish a goal, it teaches those things in a fun way.”

Neville said Douglas County is “ripe for outdoor recreation” and that he hopes his students will continue to explore and learn from being outdoors.
