MY NAME IS

MEGAN ARCHULETA

Traveler, skier, superhero About me I am from Colorado Springs. Now, I live around the Capitol Hill area; Denver has been my home for quite a few years. Now I work for iFly indoor skydiving.

I worked at a hotel in Germany. I was a ski instructor out there. I don’t speak German anymore. It has been a while. It gave me an opportunity to travel Europe, Asia and Africa. I absolutely miss traveling.

Becoming a superhero I try to indoor skydive as much as I can. I’m certainly not as good as 90 percent of people who work with me. It is really cool to feel what it is like to fly through your body. You get to fly with the winds that push you at 100 miles per hour. How you fly is very dependent of you, your balance and your body size.

Everything you have ever thought about from being a superhero or being Peter Pan is what you experience when you indoor skydive. I feel like a superhero for sure. My favorite super hero is SpiderMan — the old Spider-Man. I don’t outdoor skydive. I’d say almost everybody who works here does. Some of them are national champions. For me, it comes down to money or time.

I never seem to have one or the other to really commit to that.

Snow bound I like to play as hard as I work. I try to get up in the mountains as much as possible, like any other Coloradan. I ski and snowboard. I like anywhere where the snow is. I would like to get two to three

Commissioner reflects on time in office, prepares for next role

18900 Mainstreet

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.”

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

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.

TOM SKELLEY

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 Brite 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 hospital, and originally gave him less than a 1 percent chance of surviving his injuries.

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.”

Centennial Airport study finds smaller noise footprint Improved technology helps reduce the number of people impacted

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A year-long study by Centennial Airport — the second busiest general-aviation airport in the United States— shows a significantly reduced noise footprint in the surrounding area.

The study, which forms the basis of the airport’s recently completed Noise Exposure Map draft, shows the boundaries of areas affected by planes taking off and landing has shrunk by 960 acres and no longer includes any homes.

In 2008, the last time the noise exposure map was updated, the area included 1,300 homes.

Centennial Airport attributes the reduced noise primarily to the improvement of aircraft design and technology, the elimination of outdated jet engines and the improvement of GPS for better route mapping, said Aaron Repp, Centennial Airport noise and environmental specialist.

Airport officials wanted to update the map to identify noise-sensitive areas for potential homeowners, developers, hospitals, libraries and other establishments that might want to locate nearby.

“Part of this is the noise exposure, but another part is the land use around the area and making sure there is compatible land use,” said Mike Fronapfel, Centennial Airport director of planning and development. “We want to provide the cities and counties with as much information as possible to make the right decisions for their residents.”

About the study Centennial Airport straddles Arapahoe and Douglas counties just east of I-25, south of Arapahoe Road and north of E-470. Among generalaviation facilities, only Deer Valley Airport in Phoenix is busier than Centennial, which averages more than 800 take-offs and landings a day.

The study focused on the airport’s influence area, which extends from Yosemite Street on the west, Parker Road on the east, Belleview Avenue on the north and RidgeGate Parkway to the south. It looked at data between Oct. 1, 2014 and Sept. 30, 2015.

Fronapfel said the operational data was gathered from a noise and operations monitoring system and then put into a modeling program to create the contours, or the footprint of the noise-affected area.

The model used to create the contours, which essentially visualizes aircraft noise, records the different types of aircraft flown throughout the year and takes into account factors such as topography.

MOST NOISE COMPLAINTS COME FROM THE SAME PEOPLE The number of households complaining about airport noise has been on the decline since 2014, the year the airport made its complaint system available online, airport officials said. Through the first 11 months of this year, complaints have been received from 258 households. In 2015, there were 281 households that complained, and the year before, there were 307.

At the same time, the number of complaints has risen. The airport has received 9,690 complaints through the first 11 months of this year. That’s up from 6,636 for all of 2015 and 2,956 in 2014. What those numbers do not show is that the vast majority of complaints are coming from only a handful of addresses.

More than two-thirds — or 6,725 — of all noise complaints this year have come from one household in Highlands Ranch, according to the Centennial Airport Monthly Noise Report. The airport has conducted noise measurements near the resident’s home in eastern Highlands Ranch and determined that there are not high levels of aircraft noise in the area, said Mike Fronapfel, director of planning and development for the airport.

Five households have accounted for 7,925 complaints — or about 80 percent — this year. Last year, the top five complaining households were responsible for 4,748 complaints, or about 72 percent.

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.

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.

AIRPORT FROM PAGE 6

The noise exposure measurements are not stagnant. Similar to the amount of traffic on I-25, they shrink or expand depending on operational volume and the direction of traffic.

“What is important to understand is that this is just a snapshot,” Fronapfel said. “This is a static image of a year-long collection of what the operational noise is around the airport.”

The map, which is awaiting final approval by the Federal Aviation Administration, projects existing sound conditions for the next five years.

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.

ABOUT KARATE Karate is a martial art used for exercise and self-defense. It is a system of unarmed combat that uses hands and feet to deliver and block hits to an opponent. It was created in the 17th century in Japan, and gained popularity there in the early 20th century and in the United States in the 1960s. Colored belts are earned by students as they improve their skill. Those who train in karate say the practice is a way their body communicates, like a language.

Source: ISKF of the Mountain States Region “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.”

Map beneficial to development The Heritage Hills neighborhood near I-25 and Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree, about eight miles from the airport, is one of the residential areas no longer included in the noise exposure area, according to the draft.

Homeowner association president Pam Ladnier said she has not received any formal complaints about the airport from residents in her three years as president.

The noise map shows that a Holiday Inn and Suite, scheduled to open in late December at 6638 S. Nome Court in Centennial, is the only noise-sensitive establishment in the defined area of aircraft noise. The hotel is two miles from the airport.

According to Tony Sprouse, the hotel’s director of sales and market-

ing, the hotel worked with the airport to ensure noise would not be an issue.

Windows are triple-paned and the building has extra insulation.

“Of course, we did not want irritated guests giving us noise complaints,” Sprouse said. “I really don’t think it will be an issue. It was a concern to me at first, but after being in the building, it really isn’t. (The hotel planners) took the right precautions and did the right construction to alleviate that noise.

Derek Holcomb, Centennial’s deputy director of community development, said the city is excited about using the map to help determine future development.

Jeff Holwell, Lone Tree’s director of economic development, echoed Holcomb and noted that developers

School district still facing shortage of bus drivers DCSD needs to hire 30 more people to meet needs

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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 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 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. “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.”

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 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 welldeserving 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.”

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

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?

‘Trust’ is the word for the new year ALCHEMY

I

Andrea Doray

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.

MN: A few years ago you developed the Ziglar Legacy Certification program. Why did you develop this program and why are you so passionate about it?

TZ: We estimate that in Dad’s life he impacted over 250 million people with his philosophy and teachings.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The free service begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 31 and ends at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 1.

“We want to remind the community to ring in the New Year safely and take advantage of Coors Light Free Rides,” said David Genova, General Manager and CEO of RTD, in a statement.

Service will operate on a Saturday schedule on New Year’s Eve and a Sunday/holiday schedule on New Year’s Day. Passengers should check both the late night weekday schedule and the early morning Sunday/holiday schedule for trips after midnight on New Year’s Eve. Service hours will not be extended.

For fare and schedule information, visit www.rtd-denver.com or call RTD Customer Care at 303299-6000 or TDD 303-299-6089 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.

A day in the life: South Metro Fire Rescue Station 44 PHOTOS AND TEXT BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s 8 a.m. on a recent morning inside South Metro Fire Rescue Station 44 at 12625 E. Lincoln Ave. Patrick Grout and Taylor Olson watch an online training seminar.

Olson, a three-year veteran, sits in a recliner while Grout, the station’s one-year rookie, sits in an office chair. Rookies aren’t allowed to sit in recliners.

Lt. Sheryl West and firefighter Chris Binford work out downstairs as engineer Matt Morley makes a protein shake in the kitchen.

The crew work 48-hour shifts together at the station house, eating, sleeping and waiting for the call.

“I’ve spent about a third of my life here,” Binford says. “You become very close to the people you work with — they’re like a second family.”

The crew spends the day testing equipment, preparing meals, trading

stories and waiting for the alarm. A handful of calls come in throughout the day, interrupting meals and conversations.

Each time, the team is on the road in under a minute.

Complaints of chest pains, a tractortrailer rollover, a traffic accident all turn out to be nothing special, and they return to the station after other responders radio that the calls aren’t serious.

But they treat each alarm as the real thing, never letting down their guard.

Even if they don’t fight a fire, Grout says there’s always something to be learned and improved upon in every call.

“Now, if you get three of them after midnight, that can be a bit tedious,” he says, smiling.

Two more learning experiences are called in that afternoon, and the crew responds just as quickly and keenly.

With 40 hours left in their shift, they know that anything can happen.

11:32 a.m.

Matt Morley sits in the driver’s seat and waits for Chris Binford and Sheryl West to return to the truck as they respond to a possible cardiac arrest call at The Center at Lincoln. The team will go to the hospital to pick up Patrick Grout before heading to the grocery store to pick up lunch.

Station 44 responders arrive at The Center at Lincoln and prepare to take a resident with possible cardiac problems to the hospital.

Pictured froml eft to right are Matt Morley (standing on the ground) Patrick Grout, Lisa Dighton, Sheryl West, Taylor Olson and Chris Binford.

11:59 a.m.

Matt Morley and Chris Binford pick up some meat at a local grocery store on their way from a call to the station.

Everyone at the station makes their own lunch, but dinner is a familystyle meal prepared by team members in a rotating schedule.

1:32 p.m.

Patrick Grout tests a hose and sprayer on Nov. 8 outside of Station 44 at Peoria Street and Lincoln Ave. The pump truck uses two solutions, one water-based for conventional fires and another foamy mixtures for fuel-based fires.

2:49 p.m.

Patrick Grout suits up in seconds to respond to a call of a possible structure fire in the Castle Rock area. SMFR responders are expected to make it out of the station within 90 seconds of receiving a call, regardless of the time of day.

‘We created our own buzz in the beer community’ Resolute Brewing Co. in Centennial features award-winning brews

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

Resolute’s head brewer, Zac Rissmiller, is the artist behind the craft beer at the brewery in Centennial. 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.

For more information call 303-982-3820 or visit www.DeerCreekMountaineers.org.

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 purchase of a cart to help an older three-legged dog walk easier.

“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.

PHOTOS BY STEPHANIE MASON

“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.

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.”

Resolute Brewery opened on Aug. 19 and sold 100 kegs of beer on opening day.

Western history to be explored in Littleton lectures

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

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.

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. 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.

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 inter-

est 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-to-day 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 Sarah Koenig talk about the Oregon Trail and the myths and history about the Anglo-American conquest of the Pacific Northwest.

• April 1 — Dr. Elliott West, author and professor, will lecture about “Bent’s Fort: American Crossroads.”

• April 22 — Dr. Joshua Reid will talk about his book, “The Sea is My Country: The Maritime World of the Makahs” about the tribe in northwestern Washington state.

CURTAIN TIME Renaissance Secondary School has broken ground and is now accepting enrollment for the 2017-18 school year, initially serving grades 7-10* This innovative, tuition-free charter school in Castle Rock, CO will emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and creativity – skills that colleges and employers alike agree are essential to success.

“Renaissance Secondary School will be a fundamentally different school” said Principal Debbie Rabideau. “Understanding that each student is their own unique individual with their own way of learning, RSS takes a personalized approach to meet students where they are academically while accounting for their individual interests and passions.”

The model utilizes best practices from research-based methods of Expeditionary Learning, Design Thinking, and Project Based Learning to achieve deeper levels of understanding of concepts. Featuring deep studies of academic topics across all disciplines – including the arts – students will tackle complex, real-world issues with greater engagement and achievement. Student inquiry, critical thinking and craftsmanship will be emphasized, and students present project results to their peers and the public.

Other aspects of its culture will set the school apart said Ms. Rabideau, “Our Adventure Education program challenges students physically and mentally to go outside of their comfort zones, which builds a culture of teamwork, perseverance and cooperation.” She added that there will be a strong service learning component.

Parents - and students - can attend an Information Session January 12 or February 9 at 6pm. The sessions will be located at 3960 Trail Boss Lane, Castle Rock, CO 80104.

‘In my mind, knew I was making a difference’ Highlands Ranch woman uses Teen Court experience, earns law degree

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Since she was a little girl, Cynthia Griffin wanted to be a lawyer.

“Once I learned I couldn’t be a princess or a professional ballet dancer I knew I wanted to have a career in law,” said Griffin, a Highlands Ranch Oresident. Lawyers “looked so powerful, so important, I remember thinking it seems like a pretty cool gig.”

As she entered high school at Englewood’s St. Mary’s Academy, watching “Law and Order” and debating her parents gave way to serving as a student attorney in Parker’s Teen Court program. Her experiences there gave her the leg up she needed to graduate in May with a law degree from Creighton University in Nebraska. And now she’s looking for that first cool gig.

Sue Ratcliff, Parker’s court administrator who started Teen Court in 2005, remembers Griffin as a “shining star” in the program. When she learned Griffin had passed the bar she was elated.

“I had no idea Cynthia had gone to law school,” Ratcliff said. “I couldn’t be any more proud of her if she was my own daughter.”

Parker’s program was modeled after similar alternative sentencing programs around the country, Ratcliff said. Lone Tree and Castle Rock

Judge Kevin Sidel swears in Cynthia Griffin in Parker’s council chambers on Oct. 7 after she passed the bar.

have since followed Parker’s lead and implemented similar programs. Griffin served in the court from October 2005 to August 2009.

Juveniles who are convicted are sentenced to community service, including serving on a jury for a future teen court trial. Once they complete their sentencing obligations, the teens earn a clean record.

The students volunteering as attorneys, judges and jury members gain real-world experience working in a courtroom, representing clients and deciding their fates with a bare minimum of adult supervision. In addition to skills learned, Ratcliff hopes they

gain a sense of empathy.

“I hope they learn compassion and respect for other people,” she said.

“These are good people who just made mistakes. That doesn’t have to be a fatal flaw in their life.”

Ratcliff is happy Griffin took her experience from Teen Court to the next level. But she’s equally pleased her star pupil took the notion of mutual respect to heart.

Griffin wants to be a staff attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York City someday — she’d like to work her way up by representing clients who need her most.

“Obviously, the money’s better in

private practice,” Griffin said. “But my heart is into being a public defender. There are a lot of people in the legal system in need of quality legal help.”

Unlike many of her peers entering the legal world, Griffin has had the experience of being in a courtroom with the fate of a client in her hands.

Thanks to her years in Teen Court, she’s also had the experience of helping someone get their life back on track.

“In my mind, I knew I was making a difference,” Griffin said. “I knew if I could do that for the rest of my life I’d be a happy person.”

Bird counts offer feathered fun as calendar changes Audubon events set at Roxborough, around Denver metro area

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 Christ-

mas “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 information 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: denver-

Blackcapped chickadee is a frequent visitor through the winter.

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.

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.

“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.

That somehow the state-qualifying golf tournaments will be 36-hole events instead of one-day 18-hole affairs.

In all sports, that rivalries continue in a competitive, but friendly fashion.

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.

Treating troubles with the latest technology New facility in Meridian offers alternative health treatments

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Merriam-Webster defines “innovation” as “introducing or using new ideas or methods,” an apt description of what one finds inside Innovative Body Recovery, a new Meridian facility offering high-tech treatments for age-old ailments.

Micah Kim, director of operations at the center at 11960 Lioness Way, in northern Douglas County, said he’s never liked visiting doctors.

“I don’t like going to the hospital or taking medicine,” Kim said.

More than a year ago, Kim injured his back and went to Dallas for an unusual treatment. He tried cryotherapy, standing in a chamber and getting blasted with cold nitrogen gas, and the pain went away.

The experience gave him and two business associates an idea for a business that would help people heal while turning a profit.

Micah, his brother Rocky, and business associate Shankar Ramakrishnan spent a year researching different therapeutic technologies before decid-

Innovative Body Recovery director of operations Micah Kim stands behind an antigravity treadmill at the clinic in Meridian on Nov. 28. The machine uses a harness to reduce users’ weight by 80 percent to aid in rehabilitation for clients with poor joint health or who are recovering from surgery or injury.

TOM SKELLEY ing to invest in a cryotherapy chamber, lasers and inflatable body wraps.

In November, they opened their doors.

“I’ve always been into alternative therapies, diet trends and so on,” said Ramakrishnan, a wireless technologies engineer with AT&T. “I don’t put pills into my body unless it is absolutely necessary.”

In addition to cryotherapy, they offer air compression therapy — a vinyl suit filled with compressed air to squeeze the legs or arms — for tension relief and circulation. Also on the menu are full-body and localized light therapy treatments that zap clients

with infrared laser light to treat conditions like depression, PTSD, attention deficit disorder and other cognitive issues.

Ramakrishnan cautions clients that the treatments aren’t cures. He also acknowledges that the though the FDA has approved compression therapy and the treadmill, it hasn’t approved cryotherapy or laser therapy.

Aron Yustein, M.D., medical officer in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, wrote a July report stating there is “little evidence about (cryotherapy’s) safety or effectiveness in treating the conditions for

which it is being promoted.”

Research Director Janet Bogle, a registered nurse, said she was doubtful of the treatment’s benefits until clients she met at a Cincinnati cryotherapy clinic convinced her that it works.

“I have two master’s (degrees) in health care, and I don’t want to jeopardize those,” she said.

Bogle, Kim and Ramakrishnan also said skeptics are welcome to try any treatment free of charge.

Jasmine Hufford, a 22-year-old student from Parker, took them up on the offer. After surgery left her with recurrent pain, Hufford researched drug-free alternatives and discovered cryotherapy.

“I was (skeptical), I mean you’re getting frozen at negative 240 degrees,” Hufford said.

Despite her initial concerns, she goes in three times a week.

“My pain is less frequently recurrent and the pain is less intense when it does come back,” she said.

Another client, 23-year-old Lassana Toure of Centennial, said he uses all of the treatments at the center, especially cryotherapy to relieve pain after workouts. He said he’s not concerned that the FDA doesn’t endorse the treatment.

“Personally, I would rather try it for myself to see if it works or not,” he said. “And it does work.”

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 sports-related 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

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Answers

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 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 no-activity 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.”

Brothers Baugh beat drum for bug-eating Pair hope Americans will jump at chance to eat cricket-based protein

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dave Baugh first ate bugs while serving in Southeast Asia in the Marine Corps.

“The first time, it was kind of weird,” he admits. “And then, the more places we went to, we ate different kinds of bugs.”

For many people, that experience may just become a story to tell their kids. For Dave and his twin brother, Lars, it was an idea for a business.

“It kind of started the conversation, the gears turning, with Lars and I,” Dave said.

Why don’t people in America do this? the 2006 Arapahoe High School graduates wondered.

Lars, who had embarked on a corporate sales career after graduating from the University of Arizona, told Dave — who had commissioned as a public affairs officer in the Marines after graduating from the University of Colorado — that he had heard of an American startup creating protein bars from crickets.

Last fall, after Dave left the Marines and Lars left his career, they started their own company, Lithic Nutrition, with hopes that cricket-based bars and powders will soon be seen as a direct replacement for whey and soy products.

They developed recipes with the help of a local food science consultant, Erin Price, and settled on three flavors of cricket-based protein bars: banana bread, blueberry vanilla and dark chocolate brownie.

They soft-launched in July and then started a crowd-funding campaign, raising more than $12,000 on Kickstarter to bring the bars and a protein powder to market. For now, the brothers make the bars themselves in a 120-square-foot “clean room” in a small commercial space in Aurora, but they hope to contract out the process as the business scales up.

To do that, the Centennial residents must convince Americans that not only is it OK to eat bugs, but desirable.
