We hope you like our new look Since 2001, the Lone Tree Voice has brought — and continues to bring — you hometown news and important information about Lone Tree. As the world changes, so do we. While we are now available in multiple ways for you to read us, print is the primary choice for most of you and is the permanent record about our community. With our print readers in mind, we have launched an exciting format redesign.

We have changed our size to make it easier to read and handle. With the new size, we took the opportunity to rethink our design. Over the past month, our editors and designers have been working with Ed Henninger, a nationally renowned newspaper-design expert.

“Overall, the approach has been to create a newspaper that is more appealing and more accessible by applying time-tested techniques and universally accepted news-design principles,” Henninger says. “The result is a design that is clean, concise and contemporary. It’s a design focused on giving readers and

advertisers newspapers that are easy to read and follow.”

We’re using a new text font that’s larger and more comfortable to read.

Our new headline style is stronger and more striking. Color use has been more carefully controlled and page structure Jerry Healey is more readerfriendly.

What drives us at the Lone Tree Voice is creating meaningful impact for our readers and advertisers. We expect that the format and design change will help strengthen our bond with you and provide for an even more enjoyable experience.

Investigation concludes 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.

New program and facility supervisor at Lone Tree Recreation Center

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM Christina Wegscheider is the new program and facility supervisor of the Lone Tree Recreation Center, a South Suburban Parks and Recreation Center facility. Before that, she was a recreation coordinator at South Suburban’s Family Sports Center in Centennial, where she oversaw licensed day camps, youth nights and special events. She also manages South Suburban’s Youth Commission.

Colorado Community Media spoke to Wegscheider about her new role in Lone Tree.

What is your background?

I’m originally from Colorado. I’m a native. I was born in Denver and went to school there. Went to CU-Boulder and obtained a bachelor’s in psychology. Then I went to UNC in Greeley and I got a master’s in exercise science. From there, I just started working a bunch of different part-time gigs. I worked at the UNC rec center.

I worked for the town of Erie at their community center. I also did a lot of flag football, basketball and volleyball officiating. I had my hand in a lot of different things until I found my job with South Suburban. I’ve been with South Suburban for three years. I was at the Family Sports Center doing all of their programs, special events and marketing.

Why did you decide to take the position in Lone Tree?

Lone Tree is one of the newest facili-

P D r t T a c

e b

s ties that South Suburban has. I had t been doing personal training at the e Lone Tree facility because it was close i to my house in Parker. I was doing a a o lot of my workouts and swimming n there and spent a lot of time there.

And knowing how the population is booming out here, I saw a huge need p t to grow with the families that are moving into Lone Tree. That’s become one of the main demographics here, f which hasn’t always been the case. I a felt that I had a fresh perspective that I t l could bring. p e What would you like t to bring to the facility?

I’d like to build on the success they f have already had with the aquatic fitness programs. Also, the preschool p and camps that we offer here have tre- p mendous potential for growth. Right i now, we are only a half-day preschool. o Our staff is only part-time for those programs. I really think we could get p N that as large as it is at some of our e other facilities. Also evening-time programing, specifically with our arts and enrichment.

Is there anything new people should be on the lookout for?

We just started our Body Pump class. It has exploded at our Goodson facility (in Centennial) and we are trying it out over here now. So that’s something that we’re really excited about. We also just started Balance in Motion and Living with Cancer programs.

What should people know about you?

I just want them to know how excited I am to be a part of it. I’ve met lots of people who frequent the facility and I look forward to getting to know people on a first-name basis. I just encourage people to reach out to me.

This is my new home and I want to make the best I can for them.

Organization helps people with autism ‘be heard’ Nonprofit hosts voter registration drive for people with disabilities

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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 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

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY 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 suggestions or opinions.

Caitlyn Schall, the Garden employee who helped Xiao complete his registration, said the many ballot initia-

tives 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.”

Lauren Thome, founder of autism services nonprofit Garden, stands outside the disabled voter registration drive on Oct. 25. The Dirt Coffee truck, started by Thome and her company, employs people with autism and raises awareness for Garden and autism-related issues.

Counting ballots is way to give back Douglas County election headquarters relies on temporary workers to get job done

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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 processing ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

Wally and Bridget Wesierski agree that the bipartisan teams make for an efficient and secure process. To

JESSICA GIBBS 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.

The couple has been volunteering for Douglas County’s election headquarters for 19 years. Bridget is 82 and Wally is 83. They make up one bipartisan team — she’s a Republican and he’s a Democrat.

“We are really very opposite,” Bridget said.

“For 62 years,” Wally replied.

The two volunteer to serve their community, they said. And, over the years, they’ve come to trust ballot intake and counting in Douglas County.

“It’s a well-oiled machine,” Bridget said.

Here's to living the good life, your entire life.

While a lot of things change over the years, some things don’t. And getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop doing what you love. So we encourage our residents to keep on doing their thing while we take care of the rest.

District Attorney George Brauchler sits behind his desk in the 18th Judicial District office in Centennial on Oct. 24. Brauchler says he is considering running for governor in the future.

TOM SKELLEY

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

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler first ran for office in 2012, he endured 30 debates and candidate forums, and a fundraising battle. The Republican defeated Democrat Ethan Feldman 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.

“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 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 candidate 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.”

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.

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 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 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.”

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.

“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.

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

Survey seeks input about Lone Tree’s priorities Residents’ responses will be collected until Nov. 18

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree residents will have the chance to weigh in on the future of the community in a new survey.

For the fourth time, Lone Tree will be surveying residents, a practice that the city has done every three or four years since 2006. The

last survey was conducted in 2012.

The survey was mailed to all city residents on Oct. 24.

“Lone Tree is unique in that our household number is small enough that it is feasible to send a survey to every single household,” city spokeswoman Kristen Knoll said.

Lone Tree, which has a population of about 13,000 people, has contracted with National Research Center in Boulder for all of its surveys. The company is able to benchmark results against previous surveys as well as compare to other

municipalities along the Front Range.

In the past, surveys have been focused on recreation and ultimately led to a new tennis center at the Lone Tree Golf Club and upgrades to the community pool.

This year, community planning and organization takes center stage.

“It’s really about the city having to make tough financial decisions,” Knoll said. “It’s an exercise in seeing where residents feel is the greatest need for additional

resources.”

In 2012, 1,154 surveys were completed for a response rate of 26 percent.

Survey responses will be collected until Nov.18. Results will be made available to the public in 2017.

“We really encourage people to complete the survey,” Knoll said.” It should only take 10-15 minutes and it’s a document that we take very seriously and use for months and years in planning for the future. It’s a great opportunity for residents to voice their opinion.”

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.

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.

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.

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 graduating 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

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 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 significant factor in their choice of where to go to college or whether to attend at all.

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

Because of the high cost of a fouryear degree at a university, more students are starting at a community college to complete prerequisite courses to save money.

Colorado has 144,000 community college students, 60 percent of them under the age of 25.

“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

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.”

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 political 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 U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who represents parts of Jefferson and Adams counties, would allow students to repay loans in exchange for community service.

Haley Salmi will graduate in May from Mountain Vista High School. Even though she has been accepted at three universities in Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, she said she may still complete her prerequisites at a community college to save money.

“Experimental Abstract,” “Before Time,” “7 Bridesmaids a-Ridin’,” “Fox News,” “We’ll Leave the Light On …” These are among the titles of 75 paintings that hang in Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County’s 40-year-old “This is Colorado” exhibit, founded by the late Betty Neudeck in 1976.

The engaging exhibit was celebrated at a reception on Oct. 21 that broke attendance records at the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. (Gallery curator Trish Sangelo had counted over 225 visitors when I departed— and there still was almost an hour to go.)

It closes today, Nov. 3, although a number of works will hang at other locations at Arapahoe Community College in future months — a nice arrangement that decorates administrative offices and gives the artists more exposure.

“Between the Boulders,” Gene Youngman’s detailed watercolor of a bubbling mountain stream, won Best of Show in the 2016 “This is Colorado” exhibit at Arapahoe Community College Colorado Gallery of the Arts.

COURTESY PHOTO with a subtle palette. Visiting juror Lian Zhen presented awards at the Oct 21 reception. Zhen, who teaches watercolor and Chinese painting across the country, conducted a three-day workshop at the Littleton Museum.

He said jurying is a “less favorite

job” but assured artists he is very objective. He considers technique, color and its blend, composition (dramatic, beautiful), perspective, fundamental capture of the essence, narrative.

“Please don’t take it personally,” he added with a smile.

First place was won by Chuck Danford for his painting of an elk bull and cows in a golden landscape, “Hunt of the Rut.” Second place went to Robert Eilert for his large, striking oil painting, “Seven Brides a-Ridin’,” which shows a group of presumably Muslim women from the back, clad in colorful veils. Third place went to Phyllis Vandehaar’s watercolor, “We’ll Leave the Light On.” Juror’s picks were Robert Gray’s watercolor “Blue Ridge,” Matt Lay’s graphite drawing “Cologne Cathedral,” and Lee Wasilik’s “High Sierras,” an acrylic painting.

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

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 learn-

Soaring Hawk students race to be the first on the rock-climbing wall Oct. 24. ing at Soaring Hawk and in Douglas County, and one of the things we talk about a lot is skills that will stay with kids through their lives,” Soaring Hawk Principal Chris Neville said.

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

IF YOU GO

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

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

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.”

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.

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.

For female athletes, an anterior cruciate ligament injury can mean months on sidelines

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.”

KNEE: Injuries can cut careers short FROM PAGE 30

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.”

“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 beat Mountain Vista FROM PAGE 29

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.

Public Notices Dated: 8/26/2016 CHRISTINE DUFFY DOUGLAS COUNTY Public Trustee

The name, address and telephone numbers of the attorney(s) representing the legal holder of the indebtedness is:

Public Trustees PUBLIC NOTICE Englewood NOTICE OF SALE Public Trustee Sale No. 2016-0224 To Whom It May Concern: On 8/25/2016 12:09:00 PM the undersigned Public Trustee caused the Notice of Election and Demand relating to the Deed of Trust described below to be recorded in Douglas County.

Original Grantor: SUSAN R. GOMEZ Original Beneficiary: MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., AS NOMINEE FOR KB HOME MORTGAGE COMPANY Current Holder of Evidence of Debt: MTGLQ INVESTORS, LP Date of Deed of Trust (DOT): 12/30/2004 Recording Date of DOT: 1/14/2005 Reception No. of DOT: 2005004930 DOT Recorded in Douglas County.

Original Principal Amount of Evidence of Debt: $162,300.00 Outstanding Principal Amount as of the date hereof: $144,855.25

Pursuant to C.R.S. §38-38-101 (4) (i), you are hereby notified that the covenants of the deed of trust have been violated as follows: Failure to pay principal and interest when due together with all other payments provided for in the Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust and other violations of the terms thereof.

THE LIEN FORECLOSED MAY NOT BE A FIRST LIEN.

The property described herein is all of the property encumbered by the lien of the deed of trust.

Legal Description of Real Property: Unit A, Condominium Building 28, MeridianVilla Condominiums, according to the Condominium Map thereof, recorded on November 5, 2004 at Reception No. 2004113639, in the records of the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Douglas County, Colorado, and as defined and described in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Meridian- Villa Condominiums, recorded on January 16, 2004 at Reception No. 2004007079 in said records, County of Douglas, State of Colorado.

Which has the address of: 9769 Mayfair Street #A, Englewood, CO 80112 NOTICE OF SALE

The current holder of the Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust described herein, has filed written election and demand for sale as provided by law and in said Deed of Trust.

THEREFORE, Notice Is Hereby Given that on the first possible sale date (unless the sale is continued*) at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, December 14, 2016, at the Public Trustee’s office, 402 Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, Colorado, I will sell at public auction to the highest and best bidder for cash, the said real property and all interest of said Grantor(s), Grantor(s)’ heirs and assigns therein, for the purpose of paying the indebtedness provided in said Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust, plus attorneys’ fees, the expenses of sale and other items allowed by law, and will deliver to the purchaser a Certificate of Purchase, all as provided by law. If the sale date is continued to a later date, the deadline to file a notice of intent to cure by those parties entitled to cure may also be extended.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.
