About me I am a Colorado native who grew up in Colorado Springs. I majored in journalism at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and moved back to Colorado shortly after college. My professional experience includes marketing and communications for both government and nonprofit organizations, including for the town of Parker and the local chapter of the March of Dimes.

My HRCA gig I am the senior marketing and special project manager, so I am responsible for promoting and marketing the HRCA special events and programs and coordinating our volunteer program. I also coordinate the Cultural Affairs Association, a nonprofit run

by HRCA and the Art Encounters program.

I love that I am able to make an impact on the community where I live, and also help enhance the quality of life for everyone in our community.

My favorite part of the holidays I love everything about the holidays — the music, the decorations, the cookies. We have started some fun tra-

Community leaders laud Repella’s leadership and advocacy for business

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Term-limited Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella is caught in a bittersweet phase of life.

There’s the promise of what’s to come — she’s excited for a new role in the private sector but isn’t ready to announce it. Then there’s the memory of what’s behind in the eight years she served as commissioner.

Her successor, Lora Thomas, will be sworn in Jan. 10, and that reality is settling in, Repella said.

She said in one instance while working on a project, an epiphany struck as she discussed how its results would not be available until 2017.

“I actually got teary-eyed,” she said.

“I realized in that moment, I’m not going to be a part of that.”

To help with the transition, she’s limited her personal investment in county projects.

“It’s sad and exciting at the same time,” she said of leaving office. “It’s sad that, you know, I don’t have a choice.”

‘Advocate for a strong community’ The two-term commissioner and 53-year-old single mother of three has more than 30 years of experience in appointed and elected positions, including an unsuccessful run for state lieutenant governor with gubernational Republican candidate Bob Beaprez in 2014.

Her rapport with the business community and focus on generating jobs has earned her a reputation as a driving force behind Douglas County’s economic development.

Scott Ingvoldstad, vice president for government relations at CH2M Hill, has known Repella since she took office as a commissioner in 2009. CH2M Hill is an engineering and program management company employing 1,500 employees at its Douglas County headquarters and 23,000 people globally.

Ingvoldstad called Repella a “tenacious advocate for a strong economy,” while also saying her work to preserve the overall quality of life through education, recreation and transportation makes the county a special place to live and work.

“I see commissioner Repella as a partner in finding solutions,” he said.

“And we’ve worked together on issues ranging from sustainable water supply to helping promote pro-business efforts that help grow and keep companies in Douglas County and the metro region.”

Before public office, Repella left behind a career in commercial architecture and architectural design in San Diego in 1994.

Repella, who lives in Highlands

Term-limited Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella is preparing for the next chapter in her life. COURTESY PHOTO Ranch, began a habit of serving on boards and commissions. There were eight years on the Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors before taking on the Douglas County Planning Commission and the Douglas County school board.

She realized, Repella said, that being civically involved empowers people to create a better future for their children and the community at large.

Leadership, knowledge will be missed As commissioner since 2009, she’s taken a hands-on approach to working with the business community — whether that means flying off to retain influential businesses or rolling out the red carpet for those looking to relocate.

She’s about more jobs for her constituents and meeting people face-toface, something she said people don’t expect from a politician.

Aside from economic development, Repella is proud and surprised by the role Douglas County has taken in forging new water partnerships and promoting renewable water use.

Fellow commissioners David Weaver and Roger Partridge said they will miss Repella’s leadership and her institutional knowledge.

“She’s always been very inquisitive,” Weaver said. “Very, very, very knowledgeable.”

Weaver, who describes himself as a `hey y’all’ type of guy, called Repella an articulate and gifted speaker. He has known Repella since 2002 and served with her for two years on the board.

“She’s taught me a lot,” he said.

Partridge pointed to her passion for projects and abundance of energy on the job.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen that girl yawn,” Partridge said.

He met Repella in 2005 when they served on the planning commission together.

Both men said they have no doubt she’ll excel in whatever she pursues next.

For now, Repella said, she needs a job to pay the bills. She’s excited for her next role and will continue working closely with the business community.

There’s more to come, she said. And yes, she is leaving the door open for politics in the future.

“Never,” Repella said, “say never.”

Douglas County still faces bus driver shortage

Sheriff’s office: Be alert for car theft

During the late hours of Dec. 16, Whitney Nagy’s white Subaru Forester was stolen from the driveway of her Westridge Village home. Police were still searching for the car the following week.

“Our vehicle was locked in the driveway. The street lights had been out for quite some time so it was really dark in the cul-de-sac,” said Nagy. “We had some designer prescription sunglasses sitting on the passenger’s seat, which could have been the motivation to steal the vehicle.”

Statistics from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office show car theft in the Highlands Ranch community has sometimes increased and other times decreased over the past year. But car thefts more than doubled in early fall.

In October, 157 reports of trespass auto — or break-ins — and 30 reports of motor vehicle theft were filed with the sheriff ’s office. In September, 72 reports of trespass auto and 13 reports of motor vehicle theft were filed. November numbers were not yet available.

“The community should be aware of what is going on and take preventative steps to protect themselves from becoming a victim,” said Lauren LeKander, spokesperson for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

Douglas County is one of the saf-

est counties in Colorado, LeKander said, and because of that many people don’t feel it is necessary to lock their car doors or take extra steps to protect themselves or their property.

“Unlocked cars and open doors are easy targets for criminals,” she said, “and criminals find opportunity in Highlands Ranch.”

Many stolen vehicle cases are carried out by organized groups of individuals from the Denver metro area, she noted.

The sheriff ’s office recommends the following tips for all residents: • Park cars in the garage whenever possible.

• Keep garage doors closed and locked.

• Remove any valuables, including keys and garage door openers from vehicles.

• Lock vehicle doors.

Nagy, having dealt with a stolen car, also recommends reporting any burntout streetlights, which can be done on Xcel’s website at www.xcelenergy.com.

“If your neighborhood is particularly dark, that makes it easier for them,” she said.

If a resident sees anything suspicious, the sheriff ’s office advises he or she call law enforcement immediately and try to get as much visible information as possible without confrontation.

“Be a good witness,” LeKander said.

“Do not confront anyone, and contact us at 303-660-7500.”

Despite hiring 40 new bus drivers since the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, the Douglas County School District is still facing a shortage.

DCSD, which said it ideally needs 300 drivers to meet its needs, is still 30 short.

“We are still short on drivers, but this isn’t unique to Douglas County,” said Donna Grattino, the district’s director of transportation. “You see this across the Front Range and Colorado.”

According to Grattino, 15 drivers retired before the beginning of this school year, compounding a shortage that carried over from the previous year.

The improving economy and changes to the Colorado Department of Transportation’s health requirements have made it more difficult to recruit new drivers in recent years, she said.

Previous experience is not needed, but drivers must be able to obtain an commercial driver’s license.

In addition to competing with other school districts for drivers, DCSD

“However, this can provide some temporary relief from the impact the shortage may have on students and school events.”

Silverthorn said she would like to see more incentives for drivers.

“My grandfather was a school bus driver during his early retirement years in a small district in Prowers County, and I briefly had the opportunity to ride with him when I was in first grade,” Silverthorn said.

“Even then, I saw his desire to serve running up against requirements from the district and ever-shorter funding pools. I would like to find a way to increase incentives for recruitment and retention, something the district already has a good start on doing with cash bonuses paid to people who recruit new drivers who stay with DCSD.” The district’s efforts to attract new drivers with referral bonuses and increased pay have been successful, Grattino said. And the district is continuing outreach efforts at local community events.

She also noted the district is meeting all requirements for daily routes to and from school and has not missed any routes this year.

“Compared to last year, we are doing much better,” Grattino said. “All of our training classes have been full. We’re really seeing the efforts we have put forward start to pay off this year.”

trips per day, based on a six-day workweek (this includes numerous Saturday events).

Last year, transportation was provided for nearly 300,000 students on 7,000 field trips, athletic events and activities.

“I am aware of the impact that this has had on parents and students,” said board Vice President Judith Reynolds. “One of my own children has had a change to their bus route in order to alleviate overcrowding on another bus.”

The district also has instituted a referral program to reward district employees for helping to bring in new drivers. Anyone who refers a driver to the transportation department — and that referral is still with the district after 60 days — will receive $200. If the driver is with the district after a year, the person who made the referral will get an additional $200.

The shortage has affected both daily routes and the availability of buses for field trips and extracurricular activities, Reynolds said.

In October, the board of education approved the use of charter buses to be contracted for some extracurricular activities.

“Obviously, the desired state is to use our own bus drivers as the disadvantage of contracting out means increased cost passed on to parents,” board member David Ray said.

also must contend with RTD, who offers a $2,000 sign-on bonus for new hires, and charter bus companies.

In an attempt to attract more drivers, the district approved a 5 percent increase in base pay during the 2015-16 school year, moving starting compensation to $15.90 from $15.15 per hour.

Cherry Creek School District offers starting pay of $15.60 per hour, Jefferson County School District offers $16.10 per hour and Littleton Public Schools offers $16.86 per hour.

In 2014, Douglas County’s base pay was $14.17, but the union negotiated it up to $15.15.

“Last year, we tried to address the problem by raising our wage for drivers,” Douglas County Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn said. “This briefly put us at the top of the pay range for the metro area. Then, other districts rushed to catch up, and now we are no longer at the top. However, when we are competing with other entities such as RTD and for-hire and charter bus companies, we are definitely seeing some issues.”

The school district has three bus terminals — one in Highlands Ranch, one in Parker and one in Castle Rock. Each terminal is responsible for about 150 routes. The district as a whole covers about 900 square miles.

The district averages 22 field

Detective home in time for the holidays Dan Brite, who was shot in September, released from Craig Hospital

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Detective Dan Brite, a member of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Impact Unit who was critically wounded in a Sept. 2 shooting, went home to Castle Rock the morning of Dec. 22. On the way, as a passenger in an armored vehicle, he took a detour past the sheriff ’s office substation in Highlands Ranch to wave to co-workers and their families who stood in the median to cheer him on.

“We’re very excited to see this, it means a lot to us,” said Sgt. Heather Mykes, a co-worker of Brite’s at the substation at 9250 Highlands Ranch Parkway. “It’s good to see him happy and we’re glad he’s going home for the holidays.”

Brite was released from Craig Hospital in Englewood after spending more than two months there for rehabilitation from his injuries. He had been monitoring the home of Randall Rodick, a “suicidal” man who opened fire on Brite and other officers and was killed in the ensuing firefight.

Brite was taken to Parker Adventist Hospital, located adjacent to the field where the shootout that briefly left him without a pulse occurred.

He remained at Parker Adventist for more than a month before being transferred to Craig.

Doctors revived Brite at the hospi-

Co-workers of Detective Dan Brite stand outside the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Highlands Ranch substation on Dec. 22.

After being shot in September, Brite was treated at Parker Adventist Hospital until being transferred to Craig Hospital for rehabilitation. Alexis Abulhawa, a co-worker of Brite’s, says she hopes to see him back at work eventually.

Dr. Michael Bertocchi, a trauma surgeon at Parker Adventist who treated Brite when he arrived, said a single bullet pierced the detective’s chest on his left side, producing a “massive hemorrhage.”

Brite remained in critical condition at Parker Adventist for weeks, but

even as Bertocchi tempered expectations for his recovery, he added that Brite was “a fighter” and remained optimistic for his recovery.

Alexis Abulhawa works in records at the Highlands Ranch substation and said it was “awesome” to see emergency vehicles lining the streets on her way into the station.

“It was amazing, I’m so thankful to be a part of this,” Abulhawa said.

Brite is still without the use of is legs, and he received extensive rehabilitation treatment at Craig, including instruction on using hand controls to drive.

Abulhawa said she hopes Brite will make a full recovery, and she hopes to see him back in the office.

“We’re still praying for further healing,” she said. “We miss him here.”

Douglas County deputy honored for ‘excellence in law enforcement’ Capt. Kevin Duffy’s 28 years of service largely focused on youth

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado Attorney General Cynthia H.Coffman’s selection committee for the annual “Excellence in Law Enforcement” award received more recommendation letters for the 2016 recipient than any candidate she can remember.

That recipient is Capt. Kevin Duffy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, who was recognized

by Coffman on Dec. 19.

The award is only given to one certified peace officer in the state annually. It began in 2009 and honors an individual in law enforcement with a long-standing show of exemplary community service. Although Coffman has added three other law enforcement-related awards this year, the “Excellence in Law Enforcement” award is the only one

KEVIN DUFFY’S YEARS OF SERVICE In a Dec. 19 ceremony recognizing Capt. Kevin Duffy with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Attorney General Cynthia H. Coffman said the “Excellence in Law Enforcement” award was a chance to shed more light on the work law enforcement do in their community.

“I wish more people knew about your work, about the work that the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office does with the local community, and frankly, what law enforcement all over Colorado are doing that goes above and beyond

simply enforcing laws and protecting lives,” Coffman said.

Duffy’s service in numerous roles, committees and boards has consistently focused on helping youth in Douglas County. His involvement includes: • Adviser to the Explorer Post • A juvenile investigator

• Member of the Metro Mayors Youth Selection Committee • Former member of the Drug Abuse and Resistance Education Board and the Youth Education and Safety in Schools Board • Former team commander of the DCSO Child Abduction Response Team

• Chairman of the Juvenile Assessment Center Board

• Former member of the Youth Leadership Douglas County Program

• Former member of the Teen Suicide Education and Prevention Committee

• Chairman of the Douglas County Placement Alternative Commission

honoring an individual, she said.

“This is the creed,” Coffman said.

“This is the original award and the one that has a history of recognizing a series of outstanding professionals.”

Duffy called the award one of his greatest achievements before commending all Douglas County law enforcement for their level of service.

“This award really is for all of Douglas County,” Duffy, 56, said.

Duffy’s wife, Chris, described her husband as someone who puts others before himself, saying he is well-deserving of the award for his selflessness and years of dedication.

“He was so excited and I was just so proud of him,” she said.

Duffy joined the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office in 1989. As a deputy, he served as one of the agency’s first School Resource Officers in Douglas County in which he also volunteered to become a football coach for one high school.

In his career, Duffy created the Juvenile Street Gang/Occult Criminal Intel Officer position as well as an intervention program for habitual juvenile offenders.

“Captain Duffy exemplifies dedication and service to the citizens of Douglas County,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said in a news release statement. “It is because of him that many relationships between the Sheriff ’s Office and the community have been established and I am very proud of him.”

Storyteller’s collection available at Wind Crest MacNair shares 100 tales of human interest

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Onetime journalist — and longtime writer — Jim MacNair, now a resident at Wind Crest retirement community in Highlands Ranch, has just published an anthology, “Killing Time,” which includes 100 human-interest short stories he has written over the past 70 years. It is presently available from him at Wind Crest — 3235 Mill Vista Drive in Highlands Ranch — but he’s hoping after Christmas to line up some speaking and signing engagements in the south area, so readers

might watch for notices.

“I write about what I have experienced … I have always been a storyteller.” He said “99 percent (of the story material) actually happened to me.”

MacNair grew up in Newton, Iowa (the home of Maytag appliances) and attended the University of Iowa, where he was editor of the Daily Iowan. He next worked as a copy editor for the MacNair Schenectady Gazette and honed his editorial skills.

He moved to Fort Collins to become advertising manager for Waterpik, and later took on a federal government job, as public affairs specialist for the Bureau of Land Management in Chey-

enne, Wyoming. (He commuted there from Fort Collins because the family was reluctant to move.) The next move, with family, was to Denver for a Bureau of Reclamation position.

Eventually, he moved to Governor’s Ranch — which has a Littleton address, although it is in south Jefferson County. Three years ago, he relocated to WindCrest.

Now that “Killing Time” is published, he is working on a couple of other stories, he says.

One will be about his two-year service time spent in Germany with the U.S. Army Security Agency. He was located near Nuremberg, an ancient city, which held “nothing of interest” for the young American. (The city was severely bombed during World War II.) About 25 years later, he read about

a pair of German brothers who had a family sports shoe company. In the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, they supplied shoes for many athletes, including the great Jesse Owens. After the war, the whole world became acquainted with Adidas shoes — and Nuremberg.

Another story in the works is about his wife, “an unusual and wonderful person.”

The couple is especially blessed, he says, in that five of their six children “live within 20 minutes” and they’ll see them all at Christmas.

After Christmas, MacNair anticipates a “new chapter” as he gets out and about to market “Killing Time.”

Look for his anthology at your library or bookstore.

MacNair can be contacted about his book at: jlmacnair@comcast.net.

The Bogle home on Brentwood Circle took first place for the annual House Decorating Contest organized by the Highlands Ranch Community Association. “I like seeing the kids’ faces light up and smile,” said Hunter Bogle, 14, the mastermind behind the decorations.

Bogle house earns top spot for second year in a row

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

The Bogle family outdid themselves with Christmas decorations this year: Multicolored LED lights arched over the driveway and filled the front yard.

A giant blow-up teddy bear sat on the roof. Santa’s workshop popped up next to the home. Periodic flames spewed from the chimney.

“We get bigger and better every year,” said Hunter Bogle, the 14-yearold mastermind behind the decorations.

Which is why the Bogles received first place in the annual House Decorating Contest organized by the Highlands Ranch Community Association. This year, 24 homes participated in the fun. Voting was open from Dec. 14-18 on the HRCA’s website, which included an interactive map.

“We are thrilled to provide this contest as a way to bring families together for an adventure through the best-lit homes in our area and help them get into the Christmas spirit,” said Sara Walla, the HRCA’s senior marketing and special projects manager.

Bogle was first inclined to participate in the contest three years ago after seeing a neighbor’s display. His house won second place last year.

“I like seeing the kids’ faces light up and smile,” said Bogle, an eighth-grader at Mountain Ridge Middle School.

He and his parents hit the afterChristmas sales to collect their decorations. Last year, they bought about $300 worth of stuff to decorate for this year’s contest. When the contest rolls around, they throw their decorations in the yard and see what they can come up with.

The neighbors love it, said Bogle’s mother, Tina. But after two consecutive wins, the Bogles are going to sit out next year’s contest.

“We are going to give the opportunity to someone else,” Tina said.

Children who were shot to death had been given painkillers Coroner says two boys were homicide victims STAFF REPORT

The two young boys who were found dead along with their mother in a van last month had prescription painkillers and an over-the-counter medication that can cause drowsiness in their systems, according to the Douglas County Coroner’s Office.

Both 3-year-old Adam and 5-year-old Ethan Laber were shot in the neck and their deaths were ruled homicides, the coroner’s office stated Dec. 22. Their

mother, Jennifer Laber, of Highlands Ranch, was also found dead Nov. 30 in the parking lot of a vacant Lone Tree store. She died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and an autopsy revealed that she had multiple antidepressants in her blood.

While the coroner stopped short of saying that Jennifer Laber, 38, pulled the trigger, authorities have said there are no suspects at large in the murders.

Authorities say Laber purchased a Glock 9mm semi-automatic handgun at about 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 29. She then picked up her sons from school between 1:30 and 2 p.m., according to Lone Tree police. The three were found dead in the van the next morning, with the gun

in the vehicle.

Autopsies found the two boys had oxycodone and oxymorphone — both of which are opioid pain medications — in their blood. Diphenhydramine, which is found in over-the-counter allergy and sleeping pills, was also discovered.

Jennifer Laber’s husband, Ryan, said his wife had battled depression for years. She was found to have had two antidepressants and a medication used to treat bipolar disorder in her blood.

“In her depressed state, she saw gaps in her motherhood,” Ryan Laber wrote on Facebook Dec. 22. “The only place she saw her emotional distress being resolved was in heaven.”

Adam, 3, and Ethan Laber, 5, were shot to death in November.

Zig Ziglar’s life-changing message can open the door to worthy goals WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

A

s I prepared to write this column and thought about the best message I could share with the community to help plan and prepare for 2017, I thought about some of the lessons I have learned from Zig Ziglar over the years.

And then as I began writing, I remembered that Zig’s son Tom Ziglar has also tremendously impacted my life and has also been a great friend, mentor and brother.

So instead of me paraphrasing lessons learned, I thought I would interview Tom Ziglar and have him share some ideas on how we can plan and prepare for a better than good 2017. Here are Tom’s thoughts: MN: One of my personal sources of

inspiration over the years has been your philosophy of Purity, Simplicity and Transparency. How has this philosophy made a difference in your personal, professional, and spiritual journey?

TZ: This approach has really helped me make good choices. I ask myself this question: Is what I am about to read, listen to, eat, do, talk about … etc. going to help me be more “pure?” Will I willingly be transparent about it? If the answer is no, don’t do it!

MN: What advice would you give someone who would like to incorporate the same philosophy in their own journey in 2017?

TZ: It all starts with your mental input.

Choose carefully what you allow into your mind. Input determines Outlook, Outlook determines Output, Output determines Outcome. It’s simple really, your mental input determines your outcome in life.

Choose it wisely, and guard against the negative.

MN: Goal setting has always been such a huge part of the Ziglar message and life lessons. Again, as we look to 2017, what recommendations do you have for our community to help them set and achieve their goals?

TZ: I believe that the fastest way to success is to replace bad habits with good SEE NORTON, P11

‘Trust’ is the word for the new year ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

I

was envisioning a visioning session when my word for 2017 became clear.

You may know that I eschew New Year’s resolutions, favoring instead a word I choose (or, as I keep finding out, it chooses me) as a focus for the coming year.

As I was preparing for a vision discussion about the coming year, I trusted that my word would soon be revealed … and it was: Trust.

My word for 2017 is “trust,”

both as a noun and a verb. I will have trust and I will earn trust. “Breathe,” my word for 2016, was the first verb in the five years I’ve been doing this, so it seems fitting that 2017’s word should be both.

I trust that my endeavors in the coming year will happen in the most optimal way.

his might come as a surprise.

The color red is often used as a signal for a motorist to stop.

Not only that, red is often used as a signal for a QUIET motorist to come DESPERATION to a complete stop.

This is fascinating stuff.

Red wasn’t chosen, it turns out, because someone’s girlfriend had red hair, or someone attended the University of Craig Marshall Nebraska.

There are Smith plenty of reasons, good ones too, why red was chosen.

Red is one of the three “primary” colors. The other two are blue and yellow.

Red is regarded as a “warm” color.

Blue, on the other hand, is regarded as a “cool” color.

Warm colors optically advance, and cool colors optically recede.

So it wouldn’t make sense — would it? — if stoplights were blue. They wouldn’t be as easy to see, but I have to admit, they

would be better-looking.

One of the reasons why the color red is used for stoplights is that red light molecules don’t scatter as much as the molecules of other colors, so they travel the greatest distances through rain and fog.

This is called “Rayleigh scattering.” It was named after Lord Rayleigh, a British physicist, according to Brigham Young University.

If you have been to a paint store, you know that there are lots and lots of reds in a wide range of tints, tones, shades, and intensities.

There are more reds than you can count.

Pink is a low-intensity red.

I don’t think the color committee considered pink for a minute when they were deciding on a stoplight color, do you? But it would be relevant now, wouldn’t it?

No, the red they chose is a robust red Traffic lights are red, green, and yellow.

Can you name which color is on top, which color is in the middle, and which color is on the bottom?

I had to look it up.

habits. My encouragement for 2017 is to start each day with these three really good habits. First, start the day with two chairs. One for you and one for God. Ask your creator these three questions: Do you know my circumstances? (Yes, He is God).

God, are you big enough to handle them? And finally, God, what is the plan? And then be quiet and listen.

Second, dedicate 1 percent of your time, just 14 minutes a day, planning your dreams, goals and priorities for the day, do this first thing in the morning. I challenge you to find anyone who does this already who says it is not the most powerful thing they do all day. Third, invest at least 20 minutes a day listening to or reading information that is going to lift you up and improve your life physically, mentally and spiritually.

Because of this we created our ZLC program to equip others to carry on Dad’s life-changing message by teaching, training, speaking and

Some days, it doesn’t seem to matter what color they are, because no one pays any attention to them.

We run red lights all the time.

Some of us, knowing we drive foolishly, must actually budget at least one automobile accident every year.

“Darlene, it’s your turn to wreck the car.”

Otherwise, why do we speed?

Tailgate? Make calls? Reach for french fries? Risk our lives and endanger others — and run red lights?

That brings me to my other theory, and it’s a harsh one. There is no other way to explain it.

We co-exist with many, many thoughtless, rude, self-absorbed, entitled, oblivious, drip-dry, hedgeborn, fly-bitten, clown-milking jerks.

coaching our core life-changing programs. We want to change the world and we need help! We have certified over 200 people in 16 different countries so far and we have just barely touched the surface.

When I first met Tom Ziglar back in 1998, I asked him this question before we parted company, “Tom, so tell me, what was it like growing up as Zig Ziglar’s son?” Tom’s eyes proudly filled with loving tears as he replied, “It was amazing and wonderful.” I hope you caught the sentence above where Tom shared that the Ziglar message has impacted more than 250 million people around the globe. If 250 million people can experience a positive change, I think we can too by applying some of Tom’s advice above.

So how about you? Are you ready for 2017 physically, mentally and spiritually? If you visit www.ziglar. com you may find some great information that can help you set, reach, and exceed your goals for 2017. If you would like more information about this column or how to get in touch with the folks at Ziglar, please send me an email at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can set goals and work towards living a life of purity, simplicity and transparency, it really will be a better than good week.

me, people I admire, people of integrity and decency.

I trust that I will be gladdened, saddened, angered, touched and moved throughout the year, and that I will handle all of these with aplomb.

I trust that I will make other people happy and that, when I inevitably anger or sadden them, I will have carefully considered the outcomes.

I trust that I’ll be doing purposeful work that both affords me financial stability and does good for other people.

I trust that I will make a difference in at least one person’s life, and that I will be aware of and grateful for the presence of others in mine.

I trust that new people will come

into my life, and that I will meet the loss of any others with peace.

I trust that peace will come to more people and to more places on the earth in 2017.

I trust that the checks and balances in our system of government will function as they are meant to, that the business of being a billionaire will not take precedence over the import of being the president, and that someone takes away his Twitter account before “Saturday Night Live” does another skit.

I recognize this is a lot of trusting, which could be a challenge because trust doesn’t come all that easily to me. The new year will have its trials, no doubt, but everything will turn out in the most optimal way.

Trust me.

Does downtown Littleton have a parking problem?

Some say fewer spots is a positive side effect of booming business

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you drive the downtown streets of Littleton looking for a parking spot, especially on a Friday or Saturday evening, you may end up searching for a long time — and face a long walk

to the business you want to patronize.

Parking problems rank high on the list of complaints about Littleton from both residents and business owners. In the city’s 2016 survey of business owners, 53 percent of respondents cited a lack of customer parking as a concern, up from 43 percent in 2014. In a survey of residents, parking was not included among a list

Cars filled nearly all the parking spots along downtown Littleton’s Main Street on a recent Friday evening.

of concerns to choose from, but 1 percent of respondents still wrote it in the “other” category.

Several new bars and restaurants opening along Main Street, such as The Alley, which opened Dec. 16 in the building that used to house Jose’s Restaurant, and the Littleton location of the ViewHouse, still under construction, will likely exacerbate the shortage.

Lisa Bennett, who lives in Grant Ranch, said she doesn’t come to downtown Littleton as often as she would like because of the lack of parking.

“I love that more restaurants and bars are coming to the neighborhood, but I think they’ll have a tough time if they don’t figure out a parking solution,” she said.

City spokeswoman Kelli Narde said the city has approximately 1,200 parking spaces downtown.

Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association, said that Littleton doesn’t actually have a parking problem.

“What we have is a paid parking problem,” he said. “Nobody wants to pay for it.”

Reinke, who charges $3 for parking in the lot at his costume shop — Reinke Bros. at 5663 S. Prince St. — during the day and $5 at night, said that his lot is almost never full. He

Hopping said the most likely solution is a public/private partnership to build a large parking garage near downtown, but noted that garages are expensive to build.

Bennett said she would like to see a multi-level parking structure near the light rail station or on the west side of Santa Fe. “I am not opposed to paying a couple of bucks to park in a garage if I’m there more than two hours,” she said.

Reinke said he looked into building a parking structure on his Prince Street lot but determined that it would be too expensive. He said Littleton needs to encourage people to walk more.

believes people feel entitled to free parking, but says that’s unrealistic.

City Councilmember Bill Hopping, who represents the downtown area, said the city is starting to look at the issue in earnest, but said a lack of parking is a side effect that comes with positive economic developments.

“A parking problem is good thing,” he said. “In 2005, you could park anywhere.”

A project underway on Main Street will add some parking to downtown.

An application for a four-story retail, office and apartment development at the site of the old Valley Feed and Lawn at 2679 W. Main St. calls for 50 parking spots to be available as paid public parking on nights and weekends.

New Year’s Eve celebration options for families Sometimes it’s tough keeping children up all the way until midnight, but fortunately there are plenty of daytime activities where families can celebrate 2017 early.

The Evergreen, Golden, Lakewood and Standley Lake branches of Jeffco Libraries all have free activities going on during the day to celebrate the holiday, with Golden, Lakewood and Standley Lake hosting a balloon drop at noon.Go to www.Jeffcolibrary.org to register.

Families looking for more active options can head to The Rink at Belmar, 464 S. Teller St., where there will be a skating performance by the Mountain Edge Figure Skating Club from 10:50 a.m. to 11:20 p.m., followed a New Year’s Eve countdown at noon.

Admission is $9.50 for adults, $7.50 for children, $5 for entrance without skate rental and veterans, and free for children 2 and younger and for seniors 65 and older.

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The year 2016 is just days away from ending, and there are all kinds of activities, both fun and necessary, that people need to think about.

There’s questions of if one should go to a party, throw one, or just stay off the roads altogether? And if one does decide to go out, what are the options, and the best way to get there?

Is there even a point to making New Year’s resolutions?

And after all the celebrating, there is still the Christmas trees and decorations to take down, but what’s the best way to get rid of these items?

To help make the transition from one year to the next a little easier, we tackled some of these questions for our readers. Thank us later.

Top New Year’s resolutions

Tree cleanup As people begin taking down their holiday decorations, one of the biggest questions is often what to do with the tree, especially if someone wants to keep the tree out of a landfill.

Lakewood is just one community that offers tree recycling to its residents as a way to environmentally dispose of Christmas trees.

“Recycling allows the tree to be put to a positive use after the holidays and its primary purpose has been met,” wrote Steve Carpenter, Parks Manager in the

Options for New Year’s Eve events, travel and cleanup

city’s Parks Division, in an email interview. “If it just gets tossed in the trash it ends up in a landfill, and no further benefit is derived from it and it contributes to a growing refuse problem.”

Recycled trees are chipped up, and the mulch is available to residents and any leftovers will be used for park operations.

Arvada and Westminster will also offer tree recycling to residents, and Douglas County will have tree recycling locations in Parker, Castle Rock, and Highlands Ranch.

The theme for the year’s dinner is Red-White-Pink Masquerade, and will feature six courses of food and wine, as well as unlimited Champagne.

Reservations are required, and are $89 per person.

“New Year’s is one of the busier nights of the year for us,” Esper added. “We’re glad to be a place people can go to celebrate with friends.”

Westminster’s Hoffbrau, 9110 Wadsworth Parkway, has performances from The Corporation and Wash Park beginning at 9 p.m. and going to 1 a.m. A ticket to the event is $25 in advance and $30 at the door, and also includes party favors and Champagne.

If a night at the theater sounds better Lakewood The Edge Theatre, 1560 Teller St., is performing Arthur Miller’s “A View From the Bridge,” followed by a New Year’s Eve party after the show. Tickets are $30.

Traveling safe during the holiday For the eighth year in a row, the RTD is partnering with Coors Light and Coors Distributing Company to offer free rides on New Year’s Eve on all regularly-scheduled bus and rail service, as well as Access-aRide and SkyRide services.

Forever their sensei: Karate legend takes final bow Beloved instructor, 84, retires after touching countless lives

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

World renowned karate master Yutaka Yaguchi paused from his speech and looked around his dojo, which was overflowing with students, varying belt colors tied around their white attire.

“Please train hard into the future,” the 84-year-old said through a translator.

And he bowed to his class for the last time.

At the Lone Tree Recreation Center on Dec. 17, Yaguchi held his last karate training, teaching and testing seminar before his retirement.

In his native Japanese, Yaguchi talked about the bittersweet nature of the day.

“I am happy about retiring, but it is also melancholy,” Yaguchi said through the translator. “I am very sad I will be away from the people I have trained.”

Yaguchi was born in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1932. He began karate training in 1952 and moved to the United States to teach the martial art in 1965. In 1974, he founded the International Shotokan Karate Federation of Colorado, which is still active at 226 S. Broadway in Denver.

Yutaka Yaguchi has been teaching karate in the United States since 1965. He Held his final testing, training and seminar in the Lone Tree Recreation Center on Dec. 17.

STEPHANIE MASON

Mark Tarrant, who has trained with Yaguchi for 40 years, moved to Denver specifically to train with the karate legend. He said that Yaguchi’s open nature and closeness with his students generated a deep love for the master.

More than 150 participants, some from as far as Africa and Israel, came to Lone Tree to witness the final class taught by their sensei, the term used for a karate instructor.

“Normally, the instructors are so detached from their students, but not sensei,” Tarrant said. “He prefers to mingle with the students — to joke, drink and eat with us.”

Though some of his students mentioned that Yaguchi, a Denver resident, will be traveling more now that he is retired, Yaguchi said he wants to spend time learning something new.

“My weakest point is language,” Yaguchi said through the translator. “I have a lot of other means of communication, such as movement of my body.

I know myself very well and speaking the (English) language has been a barrier for me.”

Tarrant recently helped build a studio in Yaguchi’s basement so Yaguchi can continue practicing karate and have a space to train his grandson in martial arts.

Catherine Margolin started training with Yaguchi in 1984 and trained with him until moving to Alaska in 2006. She so admired Yaguchi that she wrote a book about the karate master titled “Mind and Body Like Bullet: Memoirs of a Life in the Martial Arts,” published under her maiden name, Catherine Pinch.

Yaguchi’s life has been full of interesting stories, Margolin said. A wide smile spread across her face when she mentioned his sense of humor.

“There used to be this thing that happened in the dojo where sensei would hide our shoes after class,” Margolin said. “He was always doing practical jokes like that.”

Margolin flew to the final training event from her home in Alaska.

She mentioned how bittersweet her sensei’s retirement was for the karate community.

“It feels like an end of an era,” Margolin said. “It feels like getting kicked out of your house, almost. He is my foundation. Even when I moved and wasn’t here, I always felt like he was my sensei.”

Yaguchi conducts his final training in the Lone Tree Recreation Center on Dec. 17.

The room was overflowing with 150 paid participants as well as other observers.

‘We created our own buzz in the beer community’

BY STEPHANIE MASON

Resolute Brewing Co. in Centennial features awardwinning brews SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Community Clifton Oertli said he tries to schedule two charity events at the brewery every month.

On Black Friday, Resolute held a charity event for The Rebels Project, raising more than $3,500. The nonprofit organization was created by Columbine High School shooting survivors to help people who have experienced traumatic events, such as mass shootings.

The brewery also recently raised more than $1,000 to assist with the pur-

“We as business owners and community members have been blessed in this community,” Oertli said. “We grew up here so we wanted to find ways to give back.”

Craft The beer, which the Resolute website states comes “from the enchanted lands of Beertopia on unicorn-fueled jetpacks,” is the product of brewer Zac Rissmiller, a fellow Columbine grad.

Rissmiller has won awards for his brews, including the silver medal in the 2015 Great American Beer Festival and medals in the 2014 and 2015 All Colorado Beer Festival in the pale ale category.

“Our head brewer Zac is focused on brewing stylistic beers,” Oertli said.

“You never know what you can come up with. He is a beer savant.”

Oertli defines a stylistic beer as a brew someone can predict the taste of before they try it. He said that beer has style guidelines, making it easy to be able to guess the taste by hearing its name. For example, an IPA is associated with the taste of hops.

Resolute Brewery’s taproom is filled with custom-made furniture. Trivia nights and live music fill the space several nights a week.

The website lists 12 home-brewed beers on tap, including Resolute Hefeweizen, which won gold at the All Colorado Beer Festival and Resolute Colorado Roots Blonde, which Men’s Journal listed as one of the top 17 beers at the Great American Beer Festival.

Culture The brewery is located in an intimate taproom at 7286 S. Yosemite St. The round bar built in the center of the room was created to generate a

sense of community, Duvall said.

Resolute Brewery is dog friendly and family friendly. It is the fifth craft brewery in Centennial. Resolute is located to serve the residential area to the west and the business crowd to their east.

“We are resolute in everything we do,” Duvall said. “We go out of our way to make sure our guests feel like guests. We are still new and still learning, but it is important to always be learning in this business.”

When Clifton Oertli started brewing beer with his dad in elementary school, he had no idea the hobby would turn into his future business.

But decades later, he would join forces with two high school classmates and it would become just that.

Oertli, Grayson Heller and Matt Davis graduated from Columbine High School in the early 2000s. About two years ago, they, along with their friend Derek Peters, were ready to make a change from their post-college careers working as accountants, bankers and engineers.

The four decided to join forces to pursue their passions: craft beer and community.

Resolute Brewing Co. opened its doors in Centennial in August, with the slogan “community, craft, culture.”

“It is a dream come true,” Oertli said.

“When you can make your passion your career — I think that is what everybody longs for. Also, getting to drink beer at eight in the morning is a great thing…

All of us owners have always loved beer and have been home brewing. It is so cool to see these recipes we have dreamt of pour into the community.”

During Resolute’s grand opening, people lined out the door, said Andrew Duvall, Resolute’ s community sales manager. The first day, the brewery sold an equivalent of 100 kegs of beer.

“We created our own buzz in the beer community,” Duvall said.

Western history to be explored in Littleton lectures Tesoro Cultural Center program will include talks at Buck Center

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tesoro is Spanish for “treasure.” For a number of years, The Fort Restaurant in Morrison, a replica of Colorado’s Bent’s Fort on the Santa Fe Trail, built by Sam Arnold, has supported a nonprofit organization called Tesoro Cultural Center. It is devoted to “keeping the history and artistic treasures of our American past alive in our community.” Objects are exhibited at The Fort, annual Indian and Spanish Markets and Rendezvous are held and there has been an ongoing lecture series, which brings scholars to talk about their special interests.

Initially, lectures were only held at The Fort, accompanied by a special dinner. Then they started offering some of the speakers free at the Central Library in Denver on Saturday afternoons, when scheduled in Morrison at night. This season, lecturers are appearing at Buck Recreation Center in Littleton to share their expertise, free, with area history buffs. (Registration is required, since seating is limited.)

On Jan. 7 at 4 p.m., George Miles, from the famed Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts Library at Yale University, will talk about two items from the collection: Susan Shelby Magoffin’s diary, “Down the Santa Fe Trail Into Mexico” (1846), and Lt. James Albert’s drawings of Bent’s Old Fort and of Owl Woman, a Cheyenne princess married to trader William Bent.

Susan Shelby, 18, married successful older trader Samuel Magoffin in 1846 and set out with him on his annual trek from Independence, Missouri, through New Mexico, to Chihuahua, Mexico.

She kept a regular diary and her detailed descriptions of people and places along the route provide valuable information to scholars today who focus on various aspects of Western history. She wasn’t roughing it like many mid-19th century travelers did — her husband provided a carriage in addition to the wagon, with possessions, a maid and another servant, a well-fitted-out tent and usually, adequate food and drink.

IF YOU GO

“Down the Santa Fe Trail and Into Mexico,” by Susan Shelby Magoffin, is available in a University of Nebraska Bison edition. The original diary will be discussed in the Jan. 7 Tesoro Lecture about Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.

Cover photo is a painting by Walter Ufer. “Where the Desert Meets the Mountains,” photographed by James Milmoe.

DOUGLAS H. BUCK RECREATION CENTER is at 2004 W. Powers Ave., Littleton. Lectures are scheduled at 4 p.m. and reservations are required, although there is no admission charge.

303-797-8787. For more information, see tesoroculturalcenter.org.

They arrive at Bent’s Fort, a major stopping place on the Northern, Mountain Route of the Santa Fe Trail (near La Junta), and stayed for a while as Susan recovered her health after illness and a miscarriage. Her notes on daily life there add to the colorful lore about the fort.

Her descriptions reflect her interest in nature and landscape; interactions with Mexican and Native American people, whom she learned to enjoy and understand better as the trip progressed; buildings, which often seemed really primitive to a woman accustomed to wealth; social events such as dances; and just keen day-today observations, as she matured and learned to appreciate other cultures.

(The book is available in a University of Nebraska paperback edition at libraries or bookstores.)

Owl Woman, a daughter of important medicine man White Thunder, married trader William Bent (who built and ran the fort with his brother, George) and had four children with him. She also facilitated communications between the Anglo-American men and native tribes living near the fort. They were a primary source of the buffalo robes that were a principal item of trade at the fort.

Lt. James Albert’s careful drawings leave a record of people, such as Owl Woman, who were at the fort, and the structure itself. It was large enough to accommodate 200 people. Animals traveling with the traders were pastured outside, on Arapahoe and Cheyenne lands usually, unless hostile natives were anticipated.

Future programs at Buck Center include (followed by a dinner lecture the next day at The Fort): • Jan. 21 — Joseph Marshal III, author of “In the Footsteps of Crazy Horse.”

• March 4 — Dr. Tom Noel, “Dr. Colorado,” on “Colorado’s Favorite Landmarks.”

• March 18 — Dr. Jay Gitlin and

Bird counts offer feathered fun as calendar changes

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dec. 31 and Jan 1 are the days when local birders will head outside to check on the numbers of feathered friends living and eating and bringing color to our parks, back yards and riverbanks.

The first Christmas Bird Count was proposed in 1900 as an early Audubon Club alternative to the annual Christmas “Side Hunt,” in which hunters competed to see who could shoot the most songbirds and mammals in a day. Today, international bird conservation organizations participate and share informa-

tion on both migratory birds and those who stay in place year-round.

Beginner and intermediate birders are welcome to join local counts and provide data through Cornell University’s renowned ornithology program, which compiles and disseminates it. Audubon’s 2015 “State of the Birds” report estimated that by 2080, 314 species might be threatened, or possibly extinct, due to loss of habitat and climate change.

We read about how migratory birds may arrive too early in a location, before their food sources are ready, for instance.

Local counts are underway and one can call to participate:

• On Dec. 31, the Douglas County Christmas Bird Count will take place, in partnership with Roxborough State Park, 4751 Roxborough Drive, Littleton, beginning at 7:30 a.m. Meet at the park gate. Information: 303-973-3959. Walking distance and difficulty of trails varies. Many areas will involve mostly driving, with stops along the way.

• On Jan. 1, the Denver Urban Christmas Count will take place over a large area, with different leaders: Visit the Denver Audubon website for locations and contact information: denveraudubon.org.

(Levels of difficulty are described in the chart.)

No limits for this talented crew

ough choices abound when it comes time to choose Colorado Community Media’s annual All-South Metro Football Team.

With so much talent in the area, it’s difficult to whittle the list down to something resembling the actual number of players on a football field.

This year’s team features 29 players, who were selected by the Colorado Community Media sports staff, with input from area coaches.

In a couple of cases, we decided not to choose between two great options. The team features two quarterbacks, both electrifying players. And when it came to the defensive player of the year, we’re giving you a double dose of hit and grit.

Offensive Player of the Year Dylan McCaffrey, Valor Christian’s senior quarterback, is Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Offensive Player of the Year after leading the Eagles to their second straight Class 5A state championship.

McCaffrey lived up to expectations.

He was following in the footsteps of older brothers Max and Christian and father Ed (a former standout for the Denver Broncos), and he was highly recruited before choosing the University of Michigan as his

Defensive Players of the Year Christian Elliss, a senior linebacker for Valor Christian, and Cherry Creek senior defensive lineman Jonathan Van Diest are the South Metro co-Defensive Players of the Year.

Elliss made some of his biggest plays in the final two games. He blocked a field goal that would have pushed Cherry Creek ahead and later, the Eagles added a field goal of their own in a 10-7 semifinal victory.

• Michael Brouillette, 6-0, 190, junior, Heritage: He averaged 12.2 tackles a game and was credited with 134 total tackles for the season.

• Will Rodgers, 6-5, 230, senior, Valor Christian: He spent a lot of time in opposing backfields with 11 sacks among his 35 tackles for the season.

Defensive backs • Aaron Kim, 6-0, 180, senior, Douglas County: He had six interceptions, which ranked third in Class 5A statistics.

• Ray Robinson, 6-2, 205, junior, Highlands Ranch: A player offensive coordinators had to account for as he made 43 tackles with one interception and seven passes deflected.

• Zach Hammer, 5-9, 160, senior, Mountain Vista: This free safety had 105 solo tackles and 121 total tackles with two interceptions and seven passes defended.

nother year is about to begin, and each new year brings a chance for change.

Here are my wishes for the new year, when it comes to area high school sports: For the Pomona football team, just one more win to cap off a championship season.

An olive branch for the Highlands Ranch and ThunderRidge football programs so they can get together, talk and maybe end their differences.

future football home. Then, Valor got off to a 1-3 start, which focused more eyes on the program and its quarterback.

“We didn’t start well but we had a really tough schedule,” McCaffrey said. “It helped with the growth of me personally as well as our team.

“The expectations, you have to

A couple seventh-inning hits so that Heritage’s baseball team can get out of the district tournament and advance to the double-elimination state tourney.

He finished the season with 65 total tackles, four sacks, the one key interception, two passes defended and two hurries. He is still considering his options for where he will play at the next level.

Van Diest didn’t play in the semifinal game against Valor after he broke his arm early in a first-round playoff game against Ralston Valley. It was the same arm he broke in the 2015 playoffs, ending that season.

But he still finished the season with 74 total tackles and 6.5 sacks in 10 games.

Van Diest has committed to play for the University of Colorado next fall.

Strict rest may not be best idea for kids’ concussions Canadian study raises questions about common approach to care

BY LINDSEY TANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Strict rest may not be the best medicine for kids with concussions, a Canadian study found, challenging the idea that physical activity should be avoided until symptoms disappear.

A month after their concussions, ongoing or worse symptoms were more common in children and teens who were inactive during the week following injury, compared with those who engaged in physical activity during that first week.

Activity was mostly light exercise including walking and swimming.

The results were similar even among those who early on had three or more concussion symptoms, which can include nausea, headaches and confusion. Physical activity still seemed to reduce chances for lingering symptoms a month after the concussion.

“It’s still important to have caution in the immediate post-injury

period,” said lead author Dr. Roger Zemek, an emergency medicine specialist at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. After a sportsrelated concussion, kids “should always be removed from play and not return that day.”

To avoid re-injury, kids should generally be sidelined from the sport or activity that led to the concussion until a doctor clears them to return, he said. But the study results suggest they can resume sports or other physical activities sooner than previously thought, he said.

The researchers surveyed about 2,400 kids aged 5 to 18 treated for concussions in nine emergency departments in Canada. Most were sports-related injuries and most kids had at least one concussion symptom in the first week.

Results from the 2013-2015 study were published Dec. 20 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Current guidelines recommend rest until symptoms disappear to avoid additional concussions, which can increase chances for permanent brain damage. But an editorial published with the study says that advice “has resulted in some athletes resting for weeks or

“It’s still important to have caution in the immediate post-injury period.”

months, at which point rest may be less helpful and perhaps even harmful.”

The study authors say resuming physical activity may increase blood flow to the brain, while inactivity may deprive patients of not only that benefit but also the psychological benefits of activities they enjoy.

Patients in the study and their parents were asked about symptoms and physical activity at seven and 28 days after the concussion In the early-activity group, 29 percent reported ongoing or worsening symptoms 28 days after concussions versus 40 percent of the group reporting no extra physical activity beyond daily living activities.

Among kids who reported having

three or more symptoms in that first week, those who engaged in early physical activity regardless of intensity were 25 percent less likely to have ongoing or worse symptoms at 28 days than the noactivity group.

Zemek said more research is needed to determine the ideal timing and intensity of physical activity to recommend after a concussion “to provide the best balance between symptom resolution and safety.”

Until there are clear answers, the editorial says doctors and parents “should use common sense about allowing limited physical activity as tolerated and be cautious about resting a previously active athlete for prolonged periods.”
