MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

Sharon Midanier leans on an antique coffee grinder in the Mainstreet General Store.

Midanier says one of her favorite hobbies is antiquing, and she and her husband, Gabe, travel to various towns around Colorado filling up a truckload of treasures.

TOM SKELLEY

SHARON MIDANIER

Transplant from Virginia, antique lover, entrepreneur Setting up shop I moved to Colorado from Roanoke, Virginia, for a job at US West. That’s where I met my husband, Gabe, and now we live in Deer Creek Farms.

We’ve been running the Mainstreet General Store for about the last six years.

I got interested in antiques at a young age. My grandfather collected all sorts of clocks and had them all around his house. I still have one, a banjo clock, hanging on the wall in my house.

A lot of times the people who come in are looking for things they can’t find anywhere else. I joke that they buy the things sitting on top of all of the antiques more than they buy the antiques. People love them, but I don’t think they furnish their homes with them as much anymore.

Family of five We have three dachshunds. They are sweet, loyal animals but they definitely have minds of their own.

They’re something else, they’re like our kids. For long, little dogs, they aren’t afraid to stand up to the big ones. Sometimes if they see a deer

in our yard they’ll go up and act like they’re going to attack them.

Camping, fishing, treasure hunting We don’t have a lot of free time since we’re always at the store, but we love to go camping and fishing.

We had a little spot up near Estes Park that we loved because it was right next to the river. Then the “Thousand Year Flood” in 2013 happened and washed it all out. I think the river actually changed course.

Another thing we love to do is going antiquing in Lafayette or Colorado Springs and a couple of other spots. We always find something. A couple of times we’ve brought back a truck full of antiques.

Changing times I think attitudes have changed a lot since I was younger. People now just aren’t as sociable as they used to be, they’re too busy. When I grew up, neighbors knew each other and sat down to lunch together. All the kids climbed trees or rode bicycles.

You don’t see many people doing that now.

I wonder if families even have the time to even sit down to a meal together. You see kids walking through here texting and that kind of stuff, it just seems like they’re missing out on their childhood.

In 2016, Douglas County saw the completion of 2,100 new single-family detached housing units, constituting a 2.3 percent increase in inventory.

“We have experienced a smaller increase in property values than in any other Denver metro county, in part due to the growth in Douglas County’s housing supply from new construction,” said Frizell. She added that median values for condominiums rose 28 percent and townhome values rose 23 percent.

Castle Rock entrepreneur plans to win governor’s race Victor Mitchell believes business background sets him apart

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

He describes himself as the outsider candidate with the advantage of being a businessman rather than a career politician.

He says he knows what it’s like to be poor, but today enjoys leading what he calls one of the most successful privately-owned small businesses in Colorado.

Victor Mitchell, an entrepreneur from Castle Rock and a former state legislator, has turned his focus to running for governor of Colorado. And, he says, he’s in the race to win.

Just don’t ask MitchMitchell ell, 51, to campaign on Fridays. That’s when he delivers food to homebound seniors for Meals on Wheels, a commitment he won’t budge on.

“Frankly,” he said of the volunteering, “it just makes me a better person.”

The rest of the week, Mitchell, a Republican, spends 10 hours a day on the campaign trail in his quest to replace Gov. John Hickenlooper, who can’t seek re-election in November 2018 because of term limits.

“Meeting people around the state, listening to what they’d like to see from their next CEO,” Mitchell said.

He also takes that time to share what he calls some bold ideas for Colorado.

Mitchell wants to ease pressure on residents he believes have “poor earning power” thanks to an over-regulated economy.

“I want to do a top-to-bottom review of our whole regulatory scheme and try to open up pathways where young people can go into vocational careers and provide for their families,” he said.

Mitchell recalls half as many businesses being regulated when he was in office, and he’d like to see the economy trend that way again.

The public and private sector Mitchell took office in the state House in 2007, serving for only one term before choosing not to seek reelection. Although he referred to it as a great experience, Republicans were the minority and he decided he could accomplish more outside of government, he said.

In 2011, he led a statewide campaign opposing Proposition 103, a ballot measure that would have raised state income and sales taxes for education funding. It was ultimately defeated in a landslide.

But Mitchell has been busy in nongovernmental affairs as well.

Over the past 30 years he’s founded or led six companies, from a transportation company to a telecommunica-

tions firm. In 2009, he began his private financing company, Lead Funding, of which he is the chief executive officer.

The company offers private financing for real estate investors.

“I have the perfect blend of public and private sector experience,” he said. “That sets me apart from all my opponents.”

A crowded race Among the more than a dozen declared candidates for governor are well-known names such as longtime Congressman Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, and 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, a Republican from Parker.

Mitchell isn’t intimidated by competing with big names, however. He’s got strong, conservative credentials, he said, and a voting record to prove it.

Last year’s presidential race was the first time he didn’t vote for the Republican candidate at the top of the ticket, he said. When it came to Trump, he “just couldn’t get there the way he spoke about women.”

“I’ve been a conservative Republican my whole life,” he said, “although, I’m fiercely independent as well.”

Aside from being a viable conservative candidate for voters, he said, his business experience gives him the ability to work with diverse minds — and opinions — and focus on problemsolving rather than politics.

Former state legislator Al White, a Republican from Hayden who served alongside Mitchell in the House, backed up his claims.

“I found him to be a very pragmatic, solution-oriented kind of guy,” he said.

“He seemed to me like he was more interested in solving problems than he was getting bogged down in partisan politics, which to me is a big plus.”

Al Roberson, a former employee of Mitchell’s transportation company who now lives in Highlands Ranch, said Mitchell’s business background sets him up to be that problem-solver, which government needs more of, he said.

“That’s why I’m excited to see more of the mindset of people like Victor running for office,” he said. “If we can get him to the finish line, wow, that would be exciting.”

Mitchell believes he’s got a real shot at accomplishing that.

“I’m not concerned about my opponents,” Mitchell said. “None of them will have my set of life experiences.”

Humble beginnings The entrepreneurial bug has been with Mitchell from a young age, partially driven by a need to make ends meet.

At 11 years old, with the family living in New York, Mitchell’s parents broke up. His mother, who is legally blind and deaf, moved to California. Mitchell moved with his mother to help care for her, leaving behind his father and two sisters. In California, he and his mother nearly experienced homelessness. They moved often.

Council approves apartments on Parker Road Dozens of residents turn out to oppose complex

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a 6-0 decision, the Parker Town Council approved a 255-unit apartment complex on the east side of Parker Road between Pine Drive and Hilltop Road.

On May 1, approximately 40 residents urged the council to deny the application, but Councilmember Debbie Lewis suggested the council had no choice in the matter, as the land was zoned for multifamily development in 2003.

“None of us were here in 2003,” Lewis said. “We don’t have an option.”

Town Attorney Jim Maloney laid out six criteria the council could consider, saying that each one had been met by the applicant, Price Development Group of Kansas City. He also pointed out that the Preston Hills HOA signed off on the zoning change approving multi-family use of the land in 2003.

But many who spoke against the apartments, including members of the current and 2003 HOA, said that agreement included a stipulation that any project limit density to 10.5 units per acre, whereas the current application increases density to 11.3 units, a net increase of 21 apartments.

Maloney said the change was the result of a minor modification to the Pine Bluffs development guide, applied for by Price

Development and approved by town staff in March 2016.

The Pine Bluffs apartments will be built between the Village Inn and Parker United Methodist Church between Parker Road and Pine Drive. No timeline has been set for construction.

Councilmember Josh Martin thanked the public for voicing their concerns, but said the vote was based solely on whether the criteria for the plat were met.

“I’m sure for the folks that live next to it and live there… you’d prefer that it remain nothing,” Martin said. “However, I don’t own the property and neither does the Town of Parker.”

Councilmember Renee Williams said she’d like to see citizens at meetings that don’t just affect their subdivisions.

“Unless it’s a controversial issue affecting one neighborhood it’s usually pretty empty in here,” Williams said. “Tonight we’re filled with your neighborhood because there’s something affecting your neighborhood.”

Williams added that living near three apartment complexes hasn’t hurt her home’s value and homeowners should understand how surrounding properties are zoned before buying.

“Our duty before we buy property is to understand what different things are zoned for and what could possibly be there,” she said.

Most who spoke against the project voiced concerns about declining property SEE APARTMENTS, P7

Mental health awareness and community response Local officials draft action plans to support needs of area residents

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One in five adults nationwide experiences mental illness, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. One in 25 experiences

serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Those issues and others get a spotlight in May, which is Mental Health Month, but Douglas County government and other area agencies are doing more than proclaiming it one more awareness month.

Tri-County Health Department, which covers Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams counties, is launching a campaign to get people talking about mental health issues and how they can

Campaign’s goal: Let’s erase stigma of illness

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s time to talk about mental health.

That’s according to Tri-County Health Department, which this month launched a campaign across the Denver metro area created by a coalition of public and private organizations designed to help people have open, honest discussions about mental health.

“Let’s Talk Colorado” will mostly operate through online, public health and workplace platforms, said Monica Younger, the behavioral health coordinator at Tri-County, which serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

“The idea started years ago.

Community members identified mental health as being a very serious public health concern and they asked us as public health to work on the issues,” she said. “Anybody can be affected by mental health concerns.”

The campaign includes partners from throughout the TriCounty area but also beyond, including organizations in Jefferson County, Denver, Aurora and Boulder.

People can expect to see campaign materials in the waiting room at their health care provider, or perhaps through information provided by their place of work. There’s also a website, LetsTalkCO.org, with downloadable tools concerning mental health discussions.

“The Let’s Talk key messages are, number one, acknowledging that starting the conversation is difficult,” Younger said.

“It’s a difficult thing to talk about, but having that conversation can save someone’s life.”

They also hope the campaign will fight any stigma around mental health issues by providing statistics showing the commonality of mental health concerns.

“If you know that in a room of eight people, two of them are struggling with mental health issues, that helps defeat stigma,” she said.

Professional, personal connection

For Keith Peterson, director of community benefits at University of Colorado Hospital, collaborating on the campaign wasn’t just professional.

Peterson, of Denver, has a son who struggles with bipolar disorder. Peterson and his wife, Michelle, identified their son’s condition when he was a young adult still living at home.

It all started with a messy room.

Their son, also named Keith, had always been a “difficult personality,” Peterson said, but for years the family didn’t realize a more serious problem was at hand.

If someone were to socialize with his son they would never know something was amiss, Peterson said, rattling off the traits that make his son wonderful. His son is brilliant, he said, passionate and with a strong sense of right and wrong.

But Peterson also describes his son, now 27, as a black-andwhite person who struggles with gray areas. He can lack tolerance and overreact when things don’t go his way.

His brilliance could backfire on him as a high school student. If a teacher taught something contrary to what his son had already researched, that meant a challenge his son couldn’t back down from.

And man, could his room get messy, Peterson said.

His son, then in his early 20s, was living back at home after leaving school and losing his job. They don’t know why he lost his job, Peterson said, but he and his wife offered support and sometimes, the tough love they thought appropriate.

However, Peterson drew the line at his son’s messy room.

He was a dad first, Peterson said, and that room had to be cleaned. He confronted his son, only to hear something that both shocked and confused him.

“It’s not that bad,” Peterson recalled his son saying.

Peterson didn’t understand how he couldn’t see the mess.

At that point, Michelle suggested the issues ran deeper than just the typical problems faced by people in their 20s. At

her encouragement, their son was evaluated.

At nearly 24 years old, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

From then on, Peterson’s perspective on parenting his “difficult” son changed.

The impact of talking Peterson says the stigma surrounding mental health is very real, but not everyone with mental health conditions will handle it the same way.

Besides offering specific tips for having conversations about mental health, the Let’s Talk Colorado website includes a quiz for people to test whether they can spot mental health stigma.

Peterson’s son would likely react to prejudice by brushing it off. It’s not his problem if people can’t accept his condition, Peterson’s son would say.

It’s their problem.

But through his experiences, Peterson is now talking about mental health, and having continued conversations with his son about how he’s doing.

Having someone to listen to is key for those struggling with mental health issue, Peterson said.

“My advice,” Peterson said, “is if you’re really serious about the Let’s Talk campaign, if you’re really serious about removing that stigma, than you’re going to have to be willing to actually hear what comes from it.”

Whether it’s a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder or a new mother with postpartum depression, this campaign is aimed at everyone, Younger said.

Peterson believes it could make a difference.

He is happy to report that treatment combined with more awareness has helped his son, who is now living in New Orleans and working at a job he likes.

A godfather who travels for work will often visit to see how he’s doing. He also snaps a photo of his bedroom for his father.

These days, that room is clean.

get help. The goal is to educate people on the prevalence of mental health issues and erase the stigma associated with them.

Meanwhile, Douglas County is launching a new program to improve how law enforcement and the public health system interact and assists those with mental health needs.

In partnership, the two entities hope to battle stigma surrounding mental illness and encourage those who need resources to seek them out — but also make it easier for them to do so.

Douglas County’s mental health initiatives underway New program seeks to help with collaboration and streamlining of services

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2013, Karl Pierson, 18, fatally shot 17-year-old Claire Davis before killing himself at Arapahoe High School.

Pierson lived in Highlands Ranch.

And in 2014, a 15-year-old boy, also from Highlands Ranch, shot and killed his mother, then turned the gun on himself, dying of a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound.

To Barbara Drake, Douglas County’s deputy county manager, and other Douglas County officials, the tragedies sent up red flags about the increasing prevalence of mental illness and the need to make community resources more available to the public.

So, three years ago, the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative was formed to rally local public health agencies to work more closely with each other. Today, it has 31 members, including the Douglas County School District, the district attorney’s office, Tri-County Health, local law enforcement agencies, area hospital systems and other public health resources.

The initiative’s goal is to find the gaps in services needed by those with mental illness, streamline support by facilitating collaboration among local resources for a growing population and start new programs to fill the holes.

“Douglas County is a big county now,” Drake said.

“We’re not a small rural county anymore.”

The county hopes a more cohesive public health system will mean healthier people, she said: “People that are connected, people that are taking care of their own health needs, people who have optimal mental and physical health.”

Trying to address specific needs The initiative is piloting three main programs to start, although it may expand with time.

One has been in place since the beginning of the 201617 school year.

Project Upstream is a prevention program that offers families ways to get help for kids with mental health concerns, even if they haven’t met thresholds for intervention set by the more formal evaluation systems.

Perhaps a child was expelled at a young age or is frequently disciplined by school administration, Drake said.

If a school has exhausted resources it may recommend the family participate in Project Upstream and, with the family’s permission, refer the child to the program, said Anne Mosbach, the mental health initiative’s coordinator.

A family meeting would be arranged with Project SEE HEALTH, P27

values, safety concerns regarding more traffic on the winding roads in the neighborhood and the strain a high-density complex would put on area schools.

Parker Planner Alex Mestdagh said a traffic study conducted by the town showed the increase would amount to approximately 3,000 total cars per day using Tallman and Hilltop, well below the prescribed 8,000-car limit.

Chris Bennish of Price Development said the developer would give $362,288 to the Douglas County School District in lieu of having enough land to build a new school building.

In addition to residents who testified, others circulated an online petition titled “Enough New Apartment Complexes in Parker,” which had garnered more than 700 signatures hours before the hearing.

Others in attendance carried yellow

bumper stickers that read “STOP Parker Town Council: No More Apartments.”

Carl Glasgow, the resident who created the petition, said the town would be better off with more housing working people could afford.

He said response to the petition showed that residents are growing wary of development they view as unnecessary.

“They don’t feel that you’re listening,” he said, before pointing to the camera broadcasting the hearing on Facebook Live. “Beyond this room, there are a lot of people listening.”

Before the meeting, Parker resident and mother of five Ann Williams said she supports more affordable housing in Parker. The problem with the new complex, she said, is the apartments will be market-rate and will attract commuters, not local workers.

“The people that live there are going to be joining the rat race to Denver,” she said, “they’re not going to help small businesses…”

“You can only grow a town once. You have to be careful how you do this.”

Car drives through Parker running store, injuring six

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Six people were taken to area hospitals after a car drove through the interior of the RNK running supply store at 13019 S. Parker Road on April 29, according to South Metro Fire Rescue.

South Metro Public Information Officer Eric Hurst said the accident near the Stroh Ranch subdivision occurred at 3:17 p.m., and all of those injured were either in the car or inside the store. The vehicle’s driver was temporarily trapped and pulled from the car

by South Metro responders.

The driver “was trapped from the amount of debris,” Hurst said. “They didn’t have to cut the car open.”

Of the six injured, one was in criti-

cal condition, two in serious condition and three sustained minor injuries.

Sherry Corcoran, public information officer for the Parker Police Department, said officers are investigating whether a medical condition caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Corcoran said the car also struck a parked vehicle before driving over a median and through the storefront.

“It’s a difficult situation for all involved,” Corcoran said. “The crash team is still talking to witnesses, still trying to determine what caused this.”

One of those injured was a female passenger in the car, described by Corcoran as a Mercedes sedan. The other victims were all inside the store, according to Hurst.

Douglas County School District conducted two surveys this year, and recently released the results.

The Douglas County Federation is hosting a discussion with a panel of teachers and DCSD board members to address actionable next steps that our board can take in response to the findings.

Elise Hunt and her assistance dog Cowboy share a hug during a training session with paws4vets staff at a Toys ‘R’ Us store in North Carolina. The trainings are held in public to trigger PTSD symptoms in veterans and train dogs how to respond to those symptoms as well as stimuli like loud noises.

Fining it forward for a furry friend Local students break dress code to raise funds for service dog nonprofit

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Children look up to heroes and want to help them when they can, so it isn’t surprising when they respond with fundraisers and awareness campaigns to support local members of the Armed Services. But add dogs to the equation, and they get worked up enough to reach veterans across the country.

Students at North Star Academy recently raised over $1,000 for the group paws4vets, a nonprofit in North Carolina that connects children with disabilities and veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder to assistance dogs at no cost to individuals they help.

“It was easy for them to get excited about it,” North Star Principal Kendra Hossfeld said.

It all started with a presentation in November 2016 by Elise Hunt, a Virginia resident and 24-year Army veteran who retired in January as a lieutenant colonel. She was also teacher Kristin Smith’s college roommate and longtime friend.

Hunt suffers from PTSD as a result of combat and a sexual assault that occurred during her time in the Army, and had been provided a black Labrador named COWBOY (the group spells the dogs’ names in capital letters for clerical reasons) from paws4vets.

For Hossfeld, Hunt’s visit was a chance for the students to show appreciation for Hunt’s service and an

opportunity to learn about what dogs like COWBOY can do.

“We felt the students would benefit from having a veteran who experienced PTSD sharing her personal experiences and learning about emotional assistance dogs,” Hossfeld said.

Students got involved with a unique fundraiser in which they were invited to break the school’s dress code by wearing a hat of their choice and paying a $3 “fine,” with proceeds going to paws4vets.

Hunt didn’t go into details about the circumstances of her trauma, but related her partnership with her new canine companion in a way the students could understand.

“I just explained to them that a lot of things happen in life that are traumatic,” Hunt said. “I asked how many of them have dogs or pets, and I asked them how it makes them feel to come home to them, especially after a bad day — I said. ‘We are looking for that too.’”

Hunt explained some of COWBOY’s tasks and talents, like alerting her if someone approaches from behind and making a nuisance of himself to preoccupy her if he smells her cortisol levels, and corresponding stress levels, rising.

Part of the paws4vets plan involves a voluntary “pay it forward” campaign which Hunt is currently participating in. She puts in between 40 and 50 hours a month in “sweat equity,” helping start a residential treatment facility for the group in Wilmington, North Carolina, and she’s trying to raise $10,000.

“It’s a small price to pay for all of the benefit it’s given me,” Hunt said.

“Having him is great, but being able to couple that with something that helps other people is even better.”

We encourage teachers, staff, administration, parents, and community members to attend this transparent, solution-driven evening.

Students create works of art to put focus on recycling

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Most parents are used to helping their children with a last-minute school project, reinforcing the lessons taught as they paste poster boards and glue shoebox dioramas

together.

But students at Parker Performing Arts School are hoping to use the projects they recently made to teach their parents a thing or two.

“We found that if you get kids excited about recycling, they take that home and get their parents and families involved,” said Enrico Dominguez, communications specialist for Waste Management, More than 50 projects were submitted from K-8 students

at the charter school, for the Parker Performing Arts Recycling Showcase on April 24.

Pieces included water bottles turned into blossoming flowers, instructional charts decorated with repurposed refuse and a slew of videos and songs, like “What a Polluted World,” a parody of Louis Armstrong’s classic tune.

Despite the perception of Colorado as an environmentally friendly state, Dominguez said recycling rates

here are actually behind the national average. He hoped the showcase would get more adults to realize it’s up to them to minimize the impact on Colorado’s natural spaces and landfills.

“If people aren’t thinking about it and they’re not talking about it, nothing is going to change,” he said.

Principal Jennifer Burgess hoped her students’ artwork would get families talking.

Transportation funding proposal veers into ditch STAFF REPORT

A bill that would have asked Colorado voters to approve a sales tax increase to help fund billions of dollars in transportation projects has been rejected by Republicans in the state Senate.

But the Democratic speaker of the House is optimistic the nearly two-month discussion surrounding House Bill 1242 will be good for the state in the long run. The state transportation system faces a $1 billion per year funding shortfall, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

“While I am disappointed by today’s outcome,” said Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, “I am hopeful that House Bill 1242 has started a conversation that must continue if we are going to have a transportation system that keeps us out of traffic jams and helps Colorado businesses generate jobs for our people.”

The bill was defeated by a 3-2 vote in a Senate committee on April 25.

If it had been approved at the Capitol and then passed by voters in November, it would have raised the state sales tax from 2.9 percent to 3.4 percent from 2018 through 2037.

State Sen. Jack Tate, R-Centennial, is one of the three Republicans who voted down the measure in the Senate Finance Committee.

He said the state should exhaust other options before raising taxes and called HB 1242 “kind of a baitand-switch,” saying very little of the money would have gone to the I-25 corridor.

State Sen. Jim Smallwood, RParker, said he wasn’t surprised to see the bill’s demise.

“Although I feel strongly that funding for roads and bridges needs to be a top priority in Colorado, I would not have voted to increase the sales tax in our state,” he said. “New demands on the taxpayer aren’t the solution.”

But state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, called it a “sad day for Colorado.”

“As Sen. Nancy Todd and I noted in the Transportation Committee, Coloradans have a right to vote on whether to approve funding to fill potholes in roads and fix crumbling bridges,” she said. “This was the time. If not now, when?”

Lawmakers are working on other transportation-funding measures as time runs out on the legislative session, which adjourns May 10.

It used to be an event, and sometimes a road trip from Nowhere, Colorado, for a day of shopping at a big city’s retailers or mall.

Now? Stores we grew up with are dropping one after the other. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but we all know the reasons why.

Money reported, “It’s possible more than 8,600 brick-and-mortar stores will close their doors in 2017.”

I haven’t been to a mall store in over 10 years. I can’t remember when.

Grocery stores, box hardware stores, art

supply stores, and that’s about it.

I think if I could get my teeth cleaned on Amazon, I would.

Your correspondent used to work in a department store.

McAlpin’s. Middletown, Ohio.

I was a salesboy, age 18, and I worked in “notions.” It was a catch-all department that included sheets and pillow cases and greeting cards, and lots of women.

Women were the employees and women were the shoppers. I liked it, even though I was looked at skeptically at first.

However, I researched sheets: flat, fitted, and their thread counts. Blankets: wool, cotton, electric, fuzzy throws.

I really knew my blankets, and when the Cincinnati-based chain held a July blanket sale contest, I was ready.

I finished second.

That summer, I attended the Beatles’ concert at Crosley Field, which is long gone.

I paid $9 each for our tickets.

McAlpin’s opened its first store on Fourth Street in downtown Cincinnati in 1880.

If you are from that part of country, you might have heard of McAlpin’s and its competitors, Shillito’s and Pogue’s.

All three have gone bye-bye.

Ultimately, I was not meant for retail.

It doesn’t add up The recent article written by Tom Skelley addressing County Assessor Lisa Frizell’s downside warning of property tax assessment rates, doesn’t add up when you look at the numbers.

The article states due to the 1982 Gallagher Amendment, the assessment rate released April 17, sets the assessment rate for 2017-18 at 7.2 percent vs. the previous rate of 7.96 Percent. That is an assessed reduction of $2,660 on a $350,000 home, or 9.55 percent in reduced assessed value. However, at the same time the article shows home values in Douglas County increasing at a 10.94 percent rate for March of this year over 2016 values. So the 10.94 percent increase in value of homes is 1.39 percent more than the reduced assessed value reduction of 9.55 percent. Therefore, greater property tax income for the city, county, and state. I would also like to point out that my own property was assessed 19.4 percent greater in value from 2014 to 2015 and my actual property tax increased by 21.82 percent.

The article also states that the Gallagher Amendment provides that the amount of revenue collected from residential property taxes must always be lower than the amount from nonresidential property taxes at an approximate ratio of 45 percent to 55 percent. So that means Douglas County, the Town of Castle Rock, etc., have dug themselves a hole by not developing commercial property and instead supported and promoted residential growth to the point they are being restrained by lower property tax income that provides revenue to fund schools and other government services.

We do not need higher property tax mill levies, what we need is city and county officials to manage the growth of our county and cities.

Catholic Charities of Central Colorado expands its reach over the years

C

atholic Charities of Central Colorado, first established in 1968, is approaching 50 years of serving people of all walks of life who are in need. In May 2013, Catholic Charities opened an office to aid the growing population of Douglas County, where more than 90 families are helped each month.

Initially, Catholic Charities offered English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and emergency services such as temporary housing assistance through hotel vouchers, utility support, and gift cards for gas and food. Food boxes were provided through collaboration with the St. Vincent de Paul Society. However, demand quickly rose and Catholic Charities expanded to meet the growing needs.

Today, they continue to offer emergency services, but in a more robust and meaningful way. These programs fall into four categories: Family Services, Paths to Opportunity, Health & Well-Being, and Emergency & Essential Services. Staff has grown from two part-time employees to six at full time, covering the variety of services.

One of the more intensive programs is an alliance with Douglas County Cares to provide wrap-around services to help families in crisis gain stability. Kathy Bullen, Catholic Charities’ community case manager, is a trained family

and communities.

If you are a frequent reader of this column you will catch on pretty quickly that you have read the following phrases in previous columns, but reinforcement of positive and affirming thoughts can never hurt.

So imagine if you will that there are four roots. The first root is love and forgiveness. When we are firmly planted and rooted in love and forgiveness we can face most challenges and obstacles that get in our way personally, professionally, spiritually or emotionally. The roots of love and forgiveness provide us with a freedom and strength that cannot be swayed or compromised by anger, grudges or negativity.

The second root is the root of love and kindness. We all know the saying, “What comes around goes around,” or “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Well, if we believe in this philosophy, we should be pouring out love and kindness on every single person we meet and in every single situation that we encounter. The root of love and kindness flourishes and multiplies faster than any of the other roots. You can easily test this theory yourself by committing to living a life filled with love and kindness for the next 30 days. Watch as the root responds with bringing even more love and kindness into your own world.

The third root is the root of love and happiness. It is so easy to find the bad things in life when we are looking for them. But it is just as easy to find the good if that is what we are looking for.

And when we look for the good through

facilitator with the program and provides families with case management along with support services from other agencies, including the Community of Care Network.

Bullen says, “This allows families time and resources to develop a plan to move forward to establish stability Paul Narduzzo for the long term. It is wonderful to work with these families and watch them grow as they reach their goals.”

This past winter, Catholic Charities joined forces with several agencies in Douglas County to plan and to establish the Winter Shelter Network. This network made it possible for women and children in Douglas County have a safe place to spend the night from Nov. 1 to March 31. Paul Narduzzo, Catholic Charities’ regional office director, says, “The real heroes are the churches and volunteers who stepped up to provide a safe and comfortable place to stay, hearty meals, and personal connection with the families who stayed in the shelter. Without them, there would be no network.”

Prior to the Winter Shelter Network, Catholic Charities offered emergency motel vouchers to protect families from

the lens of love and happiness we will find the good people, the good things, the good places and the abundance of goodness that comes with a life filled with love and happiness, and we will find joy.

The fourth root is the root of love and gratitude. The root of love and gratitude cannot be choked or suppressed by envy, jealousy, hatred, spite or just plain meanness. The root of love and gratitude draws its strength from the attitude of appreciation and thanksgiving. We don’t love or want what others have; the root of love and gratitude is based on what we already have and have received. And just as the root of love and kindness grows faster than any of the other roots, the root of love and gratitude is the strongest of all the roots.

Some of you may recall the other sayings where they say something is the root of all evil, such as money is the root of all evil or greed is the root of all evil. And if we are not careful and if we don’t tend to the care of the roots of love and forgiveness, love and kindness, love and happiness, and love and gratitude, something evil could creep in and compromise our growth and weaken that place where we hope to be so firmly rooted, love.

How about you? Are you enjoying the springtime and all that comes with it?

Are your roots firmly planted in love, forgiveness, kindness, happiness and gratitude?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we are taking care of our roots, this really will grow into a better than good week.

the elements and still uses these vouchers as a supplement throughout the year.

Other areas of expansion include Family Immigration Services and ESL Services. Family Immigration Services are offered on an appointment basis to help immigrants move forward in the process toward legal residency, and Know Your Rights presentations are conducted to educate them and community members on their legal rights and obligations. While ESL classes continue to be offered several times a week, the program was expanded to offer literacy enriched child-care for the children of students in the program. “This is particularly important as we know children who are exposed to appropriate reading are better prepared and more successful in school and in life,” said Karina Jimenez, Catholic Charities ESL site coordinator.

Over the past year, Catholic Charities has begun to offer counseling services on a limited basis, and is now expanding

to provide more coverage and scheduling opportunities. Narduzzo said, “Catholic Charities has experienced tremendous growth and will continue to expand to serve those in need in Douglas County.” To learn more about this and their other services, please visit their website at www.CCharitiesCC.org or call 720-215-4521.

Paul Narduzzo is the regional director of Catholic Charities. Please join the Seniors Council of Douglas County on June 1 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Networking begins at 8:45 a.m., followed by the monthly meeting from 9-11 a.m. This month’s topic is an overview of Catholic Charities, the services and support they provide to those in need. There will also be an opportunity to speak out about senior needs in Douglas County during the Community Conversation portion of the meeting.

Think of David Letterman, when he was an Indianapolis weatherman.

“The hailstones were as big as canned hams,” he once said.

When I moved to Colorado, I was a regular at the Aurora Mall.

There was no internet.

I think the only reason why I would go to a mall store now would be to look at people.

But I am sure that they would all be on their phones.

Who wants to people-watch that?

Instead I sit right here,

where I am writing this, and read reviews, compare prices, find out about shipping charges, if any, and add something to my cart.

What do I miss? Salesmen and saleswomen, who knew what they were talking about.

There was a vacuum cleaner salesman at Sears who was so good that I felt like I should buy three of them.

He’s long gone, and Sears’ future is not looking bright.

Like I said, I don’t know what to think. Should I be sad, when I know that I am a coconspirator?

Where will all the employees go? That concerns me.

When I bought my first computer, I used it for school

work, and that was about it. I could create and save course outlines from one semester to the next.

From there, Pandora’s box turned into everything imaginable, including this onscreen Word document, which will be converted somewhere (I don’t know where) by someone (I don’t know whom), into what you are holding (or reading online).

Things change. A hot dog at Coors Field is $9.

Kombucha taps the Colorado market The fermented tea is becoming a healthy drink alternative

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

fter brewing kombucha in his kitchen for several years, Castle Rock resident Marc Gaudreault decided to turn his product into a commercial business.

One year ago, he founded TruBucha, a kombrewery operating out of a commercial kitchen in Denver. He peddled his product at local farmers markets and his customer base grew each week.

“Most people either love it or hate it,” Gaudreault said of kombucha, a lightly fermented tea full of probiotics. “I always liked the taste of it — the zingyness.”

Gaudreault originally started drinking kombucha as an alternative to soda and said he feels healthier doing so.

Kombucha is packed with B-vitamins, antioxidants, active enzymes, glucaronic acids and amino acids according to Gaudreault, which he says helps the body feel more balanced.

“Our view is that if your body is more balanced, then you will naturally fight off diseases,” Gaudreault said.

The healthy properties of kombucha is what drew Marnie Quinn, owner of Ceremony Center for Healing in Westminster to the drink.

Her center, which opened nine months ago, offers yoga, tai chi and meditation classes along with workshops centered around health, empowerment and spirituality. The center also offers kombucha from Happy Leaf in Edgewater on tap.

“I love that it’s a probiotic and supports gut health,” Quinn said, adding that the gut is the center of health.

Having kombucha available after class also serves the purpose of creating community.

“One thing we’ve done since humans have been around is sharing a drink together and it’s nice to have the option of sharing a drink that also supports your health,” Quinn said.

The taproom Sharing in community is one of the ideas behind the kombucha taproom.

TruBucha plans to open a taproom in Lone Tree this summer.

“Kombucha is a big business and it’s going to be getting bigger,” Gaudreault said. “We just want a place where people can sit down and talk.”

The Lone Tree location is central to where the TruBucha farmer’s market

Marc Gaudreault started TruBucha in his Castle Rock home. The local brew is now on tap in almost 30 coffee shops and breweries throughout Colorado.

TruBucha brews base flavors such as mango, raspberry, ginger, lavender, mint and citra hops, available at various farmers’ markets.

COLORADO KOMBUCHA BREWERS Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha Boulder — The Rowdy Mermaid tasting room is currently closed and awaiting reopening at a new location. Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha is sold at Whole Foods, Natural Grocers and on tap at various breweries and restaurants.

Trubucha Castle Rock — Trubucha is a Castle Rockbased business. TruBucha is currently on tap in 35 breweries, coffee shops and yoga studios around Colorado. They are in the works of opening a taproom at 10047 Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree.

Happy Leaf Kombucha Edgewater — Happy Leaf has a taproom and kitchen at 5700 W. 25th Ave. in Edgewater near Sloan’s Lake. Happy Leaf Kombucha is available in 12 ounce cans, 5.16 gallon kegs, and 15.5 gallon kegs. They currently distribute throughout Colorado with LoCo Foods and Crooked Stave Artisans. It can also be found on tap at more than 100 Denverarea craft breweries, coffee shops and restaurants.

clientele is located.

According to the Kombucha Brewers Association, in 2014 there was $500 million of business in kombucha and it’s estimated that by 2020, that number will grow to $2 billion a year.

“I think there’s another four years of real growth before it levels out,”

Gaudreault said of the kombucha business. “For us, I think it’s a great opportunity and there’s a chance to grow a lot in those four years.”

TruBucha is currently on tap in 35 breweries, coffee shops and yoga studios around Colorado and Gaudreault said they’re adding three to

five new locations a week.

Until its own taproom opens in June, one place TruBucha can be found is at American Cultures in the Denver Highlands.

American Cultures is a kombucha taproom serving a rotation of Colorado-brewed kombucha. What makes American Cultures different is they only serve kombucha, they don’t make their own.

The taproom, which was founded in 2015, gives people the opportunity to taste all of the local kombucha that Colorado has to offer, and take it home in reusable growlers instead of buying it in stores by the single serving.

For a sweet twist, they also serve kombucha floats made with local Sweet Action and Scrumptious ice cream.

But first to get in the kombucha game in the Denver area was Happy Leaf Kombucha, which opened the first Denver kombucha taproom in RiNo in 2013. In 2016, the taproom moved to Edgewater near Sloan’s Lake. Like TruBucha, Happy Leaf ’s humble beginnings started with selling their kombucha at farmer’s markets.

Now, the Happy Leaf brand can be found on tap at more than 100 Denverarea craft breweries, coffee shops and restaurants.

Kombucha and beer One of those breweries is Mountain Toad Brewing in Golden.

Jack Stewart, brewer and server at Mountain Toad, said having kombucha on tap gives customers the option of a fresh effervescent non-alcoholic drink option.

The brew came up when Capps was looking for a unique way to make a sour beer.

The brewing process, Capps said, is complex. The entire beer is unpasteurized and the kombucha is unpasteurized.

“It’s fully live cultures and it can age with time and become super complex,” Capps said.

Right now, Dyad is one of the most popular beers at New Image, selling out on a regular basis. It was also one of the first beers the microbrewery decided to can, when they started canning their beers eight months ago.

Moving forward, New Image will be releasing new flavors of the Dyad brew including passion fruit orange guava and rum barrel coconut, which should be available in the next couple of months.

A second location is scheduled to open in August in Parker at 18200 Cottonwood Drive.

Three additional Denver metro area locations are to be built later in the year, the release says.

Founded by Todd Graves in 1996, Raising Cane’s has more than 300 locations across the nation, including Colorado’s first location in Fort Collins. The brand is named after Graves’ yellow Labrador, Raising Cane.

Popular items on the menu include chicken fingers, Cane’s sauce, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, sweet tea and lemonade.

The brand takes pride in its fresh, never-frozen cuisine.

“Denver has been on our radar for years, and I can’t wait to assemble our crew and open our doors in Highlands Ranch in just a few short months,” said Clint Owens, area director for Raising Cane’s.

The council singled out Parker’s Mainstreet Master Plan and EastMain Vision Plan for providing long-term guidance on evolving issues such as infrastructure, land use, accessibility and mobility. Several aspects of the plan have already been implemented, including improvements to sidewalks and the addition of wayfinding signs.

The Master Plan integrates the EastMain Vision, infusing the area with contemporary architecture, public art and creative landscape design.

An example is the new Discovery Park, featuring amenities such as a state-of-the-art band shell, a summer splash garden, large gas fire pits for use during winter and an ice skating ribbon, one of a few of its kind in the country.

Chaparral girls gain focus in second half Lacrosse contest against Valor turns into 11-8 Wolverines win

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a game where the first half didn’t look anything like the second half.

On a chilly, rainy afternoon on the turf field at Chaparral, the Wolverines rallied in the second half to pull out an 11-8 girls lacrosse Continental League win over Valor Christian.

“The biggest thing was the faceoffs,” said Chaparral coach Dix

Baines. “We only took three draws out of 11 takes in the first half. We turned it around in the second half and won seven draws out of 10 takes. Draw possession was something we talked about and knew that needed to change.

“The draws helped us get going.

It’s a glorified game of keep-away.

The other thing that is critical is that it’s a game of tempo. If you can get the draw, take it down, really settle and run our offense that leads to better quality shots.

Our shots in the first half were not good.”

Valor coach Kara Cannizzaro felt the Eagles’ execution wasn’t the same after halftime.

“We’re working on our execution right now,” she explained. “The

game of lacrosse is a game of runs.

The first half was great. So we have to be able to settle their runs a little quicker and get back into the game, especially in the second half.”

Jake Haze, baseball, junior, ThunderRidge: He threw eight pitches to retire three batters with a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh inning to earn the save in the Grizzlies’ 6-4 win over Heritage in an April 27 Continental League game. Haze also hit a solo homer in the game.

during the Huskies’ 15-5 win over Highlands Ranch on April 27. Gienger also pitched two scoreless innings.

Key moments Valor led 6-4 at halftime but Chap outscored the visitors 7-2 in the second half to pull out the victory.

“We scored back-to-back goals to tie the game right after halftime,” said Baines. “We had a couple fast breaks after that and there was one when Molly Cadman came in and she just hit the top net with a laser. That was a beautiful shot and I kind of think everybody got SEE BASEBALL, P23

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Tabitha Diehl, golf, senior, Mountain Vista: She birdied six of the final seven holes to offset a double bogey and took medalist honors at the Plum Creek Golf Club with a 3-under-par 69 in the April 24 Continental League meet.

Isabel Anema, lacrosse, junior, Cherry Creek: She scored three goals on three shots on goal in the Bruins’ 8-0 victory over Smoky Hill on April 28.

Murphy Gienger, baseball, sophomore, Douglas County: He went 4-for-5, scored three runs and had four runs batted in

Joshua Thompson, baseball, junior, Highlands Ranch: Thompson pitched a onehit, seven-inning shutout in the Falcons’ 2-0 victory over Ponderosa on April 26.

He had four strikeouts and induced 15 groundball outs, and the only ball that left the infield was a ground ball double to left field in the second inning.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

fter watching Jordan Remley hit a precise approach shot toward the 18th green at Broken Tee Englewood to finish a 3-under-par round of 69, I assumed I was observing a young lady OVERTIME who had been swinging a golf club since shortly after the day she learned to walk.

However, I discovered that Remley is not one of those athletes who specialized in one sport while growing up.

“I’ve been playing sports Jim Benton since I was 4 years old, and one day I was coming out with my dad and I ask, `Can I hit your driver?’ ” the Ralston Valley senior said. “It was a real calm day with no wind and I just piped it down the middle.”

Remley, who has signed a letter of intent to play at the University of Wyoming, has developed into one of the state’s best golfers heading into the May 8 state-qualifying regional tournament.

“I only started playing golf my freshman year, so this is my fourth year of golf,” she said. “I’ve never shot over a 100. I’d say golf came pretty natural.”

Remley has taken a few lessons, including a week of instruction from renowned golf teacher Hank Haney.

Remley has won or tied for medalist honors in every Jefferson County League tournament this spring.

“Considering that she had six months of golf before starting her freshman year at Ralston Valley and now she is leading the state with consistent under-par rounds, I would consider that amazing,” Mustangs coach Wendy Davies said. “She is a great all-around young lady and athlete, she will continue to grow as she goes on to play at Wyoming, and I also hope to see her achieve her dream to be on the LPGA someday.”

Home-field advantage Highlands Ranch soccer coach Spencer Ward is catching flak for scheduling Falcons’ home games on the grass field at Highlands Ranch instead of the turf at Shea Stadium.

“I get a lot of coaches calling me up and saying, `Why can’t we go to Shea?’ ” he said. “They say, ‘Your field is bad.’ But if it was unplayable, my school would not let us play on it.”

Ward argues that it is hard to get students to drive to Shea to watch games and more do attend games played at the school.

He also said students and spectators get a closer view of the action on the field at Highlands Ranch than at Shea, Echo Park Automotive Stadium or Douglas County Stadium, where most Continental League games are held.

excited when they saw that. It was one of those plays to get you going.”

Key players/statistics Junior Sabrina Wilson had three goals to pace the Wolverines. Cadman, Hannah Mill and Kennedy Mealhow each scored twice.

Freshman Lexie Lee scored four of the Eagles’ eight goals.

They said it “A lot of our focus is being part of a team, watching each other and making sure we are passing,” said Wilson.

“I guess we just kicked it together and got that energy. We can definitely feel it.”

The victory boosted Chaparral’s overall record to 9-2 and answered questions after the Wolverines lost 17-5 to ThunderRidge in a Continental League first-place showdown on April 20.

“In the ThunderRidge game we kind of saw some easing up, which we didn’t like, and we kept warning them that this is not good,” explained Baines. “We talked about it. Can we take the loss and turn it into learning?

Did the loss come at a good time? Was it a good reality check? Can we use it as a positive advantage?

“We were looking for a little stronger showing against Valor but I knew that probably wasn’t going to happen with as wet as it was. We’re in a good spot to be 9-2. There’s nothing wrong with 9-2.”

Valor saw its record drop to 7-6 overall and 4-3 in the league.

HEALTH FROM PAGE 6

Upstream at the school, where a representative with the program would discuss the family’s strengths and weaknesses and recommend concrete next steps. Those might be something as simple as establishing new boundaries within the home, such as no technology after 7 p.m., or in a more serious approach, a psychological evaluation of the child.

“Typically, we’ll meet up about 60 days later to check in on progress,” Mosbach said.

A key component of the

intiative was the hiring of Mosbach in October. Because the initiative isn’t meant to be a heath care provider but rather a means to helping local resources work together, her job is to oversee that process.

Goal is to stabilize on site Mosbach also will help oversee a pilot program debuting this month, which will send a team of crisis-response professionals to incidents involving indiviudals considered high risk for mental illness based on the frequency of 911 calls they make, or who have previously attempted suicide.

For example, Drake said, the initiative looked at seven

individuals in Castle Rock who generated more than 100 combined 911 calls in 18 months.

“One person generated 36 calls,” she said. To health care professionals, that can signal the person isn’t getting the outcome he or she needs by using the emergency system.

The program is modeled after a community and public health program in Colorado Springs called CARES. The crisis response team will comprise a law enforcement officer, a paramedic and a mental health professional.

The paramedic and law enforcement officer will be trained in crisis intervention specifically; the mental health

professional will be a licensed clinician.

Initially, the team will work together in one 10-hour shift four days a week.

The goal of the crisis team is to keep people out of jail and out of the emergency room if what they really need is treatment for mental health issues, Drake said.

The best-case scenario is that they can be stabilized onscene without being detained elsewhere.

In the third component to the initiative, Douglas County hired a mental health navigator, James Baroffio, who will work with clients experiencing mental illness or severe substance abuse to help them

Drake acknowledged the initiative might experience growing pains, but the goal is to stop people from falling through the cracks. And she thinks the county is well on its way to accomplishing that objective.

“There’s just been an improvement in collaboration,” Drake said of local agencies, “and thinking about each other when there’s a problem that we’re trying to solve.”

MITCHELL FROM PAGE 4

By 13 years old, he was working to help support them both, and continued to do so through high school and college.

“It shaped me tremendously,” he said of helping care for his mother.

“It teaches you that you have to have a lot of empathy for people that are

May 5, 2017M marginalized. I was marginalized.

My mother was marginalized. And let me tell you, it’s not very fun being poor.”

At 21, he started his first company as a junior in college, a transportation and limousine service company, and his entrepreneurship grew from there. He hasn’t worked for anyone else since.

Looking ahead Mitchell has been out of public

office for eight years. But he’s back, and with a gameplan.

In addition to combating regulation, he also foresees a 20-year transportation plan for the state, and a budget review for the Colorado Department of Transportation. He’d transform the Legislative Audit Committee into a performance review committee to look for overspending, he said, and hopefully find serious dollars to shift for transportation funding rather than grow govern-

ment spending.

Mostly, Mitchell said, he believes he can improve people’s lives as governor.

And don’t bother asking him why he’s not seeking a lower office to fulfill that mission. He’ll respond with a quick chuckle and a simple “no.”

“I’m an executive,” Mitchell said.

“The governorship is the right position for me. And I think it would be the right position for the people of Colorado.”

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Denver - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain?

Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake.

Sounds crazy?

Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life.

When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again.

Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state?

Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in

theory exercising should help knee arthritis.

But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee.

It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs.

Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes.

Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out.

You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either.

What’s the answer?

In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary.

With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated.

The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.

But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint.

This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many ex-

help.

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected.

Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

perts believe it helps lubricate the joint.

Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.

And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain specific exercises can be a tremendous

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain.

This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results.

So what is the HUGE mistake?

If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse.

And that’s the last thing you want to do.

What are the two “smart moves?”

If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic.

If you are thinking about giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technol-

ogy such as uoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections.

Research shows that without uoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work.

If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible.

So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse.

And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced uoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain sufferers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go.

If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now.

Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief.

Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program.

The Secret To Success?

The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy.

Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating.

This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment.

And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed.

What Is This Treatment?

This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA).

Those are big medical terms that basically means this...

When you have knee arthritis the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in

your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief

program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time.

But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.
