MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY Littleton does well in ranking For the second year in a row, Littleton was named as one of the top five small cities in the U.S. by WalletHub, a personal finance website that frequently offers rankings based on various statistics. Littleton was ranked fourth, and it was second last year.

The study ranked 1,268 cities with populations between 25,000 and 100,000 based on 30 metrics, including housing costs, school quality and number of restaurants per capita. Littleton’s worst scores were in affordability factors, and its best were in quality-of-life factors.

Parker and Castle Rock were also named in the top 20.

GARETT PALECEK

Cheese merchant, transplant from Pennsylvania About me I’m opening a cheese shop called Curds Cheese on Main Street in Littleton. I hope to be open later this month, by the Candlelight Walk, but I definitely need to be open by Christmas. I moved to Colorado in 2009 from Reading, Pennsylvania. I was working for my parents’ business there, but I like sunshine and I like the outdoors and I like skiing and hiking and fly fishing and camping. Colorado was kind of calling me, so I packed up my Civic and moved out here.

The cheese business I started working for a company in Longmont called Cheese Importers in 2010. I was a purchaser for them, bringing the goods in and meeting with the vendors and getting to know the actual cheesemakers. About six months to a year in, I thought “this is my calling.” When I first started, I knew that I liked cheddar, and I knew that I liked brie, and I knew that I didn’t like Swiss. Now I’m considered by my peers to be a cheesemonger. My palate has definitely developed for it.

Lane closures set for C-470 Drivers along C-470 can expect intermittent lane closures overnight as work begins on the corridor’s express lane project, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Eastbound and westbound lanes will experience closures on alternating nights as crews set up temporary barriers and conduct earth and utility work in between Lucent Boulevard and Quebec Street. Speeds will be reduced to 55 mph in the lane closure areas as well.

Closures will most likely be between 9:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m., CDOT said.

There’s nothing really similar around here. I looked in Arvada, too, but didn’t find space to fit my needs. This has a hometown, main street feel; everybody’s smiling.

One of the products they sell is kratom, an herb native to southeast Asia that has been under scrutiny by the Drug Enforcement Administration recently.

Sales of herb spark hope and concern

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Gian Pieroni and Pablo Espadero made plans to open an herbal shop in Littleton recently, it briefly looked as if they would not be able to sell one of their main products.

That’s because the Drug Enforcement Administration announced plans to place an herb called kratom on the list of Schedule 1 narcotics, drugs that the agency says have no medical use and high potential for abuse. Other Schedule 1 drugs include marijuana, LSD, ecstasy and heroin.

Then, in October, the DEA withdrew the plan, announcing that it would receive a scientific and medical evaluation from the Food and Drug Administration as well as a scheduling recommendation.

The listing would have effectively banned kratom, which is made from the leaves of the mitragynine speciose tree native to southeast Asia, where it has been used as a folk medicine for hundreds of years.

In that region, the fresh leaves are often chewed, but users in the U.S. typically buy it in a powdered form that can be mixed into beverages.

In a notice posted in the Federal Register in August, the DEA said that kratom presented “an imminent hazard to public safety.”

The announcement drew outcry from the kratom users — many of whom say it provides relief from chronic pain and can be used to treat opiate withdrawal symptoms and has minimal side effects.

PROS AND CONS OF KRATOM When the Drug Enforcement Administration posted a notice in the Federal Registry in August stating its plan to list kratom as a Schedule 1 narcotic, it cited what it called “an imminent hazard to public safety.”

The DEA claims 15 deaths have been linked to the plant, native to Southeast Asia, since 2014 and that it is abused for its opiate-like properties.

Though it has not yet been comprehensively studied by the Food and Drug Administration, proponents say it can be used as a painkiller with fewer side effects and less potential for abuse than prescription opioids, and can be used to treat withdrawal symptoms for people attempting to overcome an addiction to those drugs.

• All Players receive $500

The Drug Policy Alliance says that banning kratom could negatively affect those using it to battle addiction, and would also create a black market and would disincentivize further scientific research into its properties.

WHERE IS IT BANNED? When the Drug Enforcement Administration announced a plan to ban kratom in August, the Denver Department of Environmental Health ordered stores in the city to stop selling the product, an order that was rescinded in October when the DEA tabled the plan in order to receive scientific input.

According to the American Kratom Association, the substance is illegal in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin. Legislation to ban it is also being considered in New York, and there are cities and counties that have banned it as well, including San Diego and Sarasota County, Florida.

Kratom is native to Southeast Asia but is banned in several countries in that region, including Thailand and Malaysia.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Littleton City Council

BY KYLE HARDING | KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton City Council met on Nov. 1, adopting the budget for next year, passing several first reading ordinances and discussing problems with speeding vehicles near Heritage High School.

1

2017 budget and mill levy adopted

Council passed the second reading of the annual appropriation bill, thereby adopting the budget for 2017.

Total expenditures in the budget are $87.2 million, with $62.6 million in the general fund. Budget highlights include $3.45 million for street, sidewalk and traffic signal projects, $377,000 for four new police officers and $525,000 for park improvements. Changes from the recommended budget include an additional $500,000 for street and traffic capital projects and a possible $120,000 sales tax increment payment to the city’s urban renewal authority.

The measure passed 6-1, with Councilmember Doug Clark voting against it, saying it doesn’t properly account for tax increment collected for the city’s urban renewal areas.

The council also unanimously passed the 2017 mill levy at 6.662 mills upon each dollar of assessed value of taxable property. The levy has remained the same for more than 20 years.

2

New townhomes proposed along river

The council unanimously passed the first reading of an ordinance approving a rezoning and development plan for a proposed 56-unit townhome project on South Prince Street, near the South Platte River.

Central Development of Denver has proposed the plan, which requires changing the zoning from commercial to residential. The project is located at 5000 S. Prince and a portion of 4900 S. Prince, north of Belleview Avenue and south of the Green Leaf Riverside apartments.

3

Group home code up for change

The council unanimously passed the first reading of an ordinance amending the city’s code on group homes for disabled people.

The revised code strikes a requirement that group homes have resident staff.

The city is currently facing a lawsuit from a group home in the city challenging that requirement.

Kasko LLC, owner of Assisted Living on Broadway, alleges that the city approved its application to operate as a group home in 2014, but later denied a renovation application, stating that the home did not have resident staff as required.

Kasko’s location is not zoned for an assisted-living facility, for which resident staff is not required.

4

Windermere Street traffic calming approved

The council voted unanimously in support of adding two traffic-calming circles on South Windermere Street at Southridge Way and Davies Avenue, near Heritage High School.

Residents of the area begin petitioning for traffic-calming devices in the area in 2009, citing high speeds.

Traffic engineer Aaron Huemann said the city’s neighborhood traffic-management program has three phases: education, enforcement and engineering. A radar speed sign and an enforcement campaign were determined to not be effective.

Huemann said the circles will cost about $20,000 each. A funding source for the circles has not been determined yet, but Huemann said there is money for street repair in the capital projects fund that is not obligated.

Where horse dreams come true

Cottonwood Riding Club adapts to surrounding development

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

John and Chris Gandomcar bought Cottonwood Riding Club 35 years ago when the land was home to a junkyard, a dairy barn and three homes.

The couple embarked on horseback rides down the High Line Canal Trail when they came upon a chunk of land north of Titan Road adjacent to Chatfield State Park. John worked for a print shop at the time and Chris worked for an insurance company.

They took out a loan from their parents and convinced the landowner to sell what is now Cottonwood Riding Club.

“Everything they made they put back into the business,” said their daughter Erica Gandomcar-Sachs, who now manages the riding facility in northwest Douglas County with her sister, Tara Gandomcar Hieb. “It’s kind of that true American success story.”

The sisters officially took over the family business in 2015. Their parents live in the Roxborough Park area and come to the riding club daily.

The 100-acre property is surrounded by miles of untouched land and has a backdrop of the foothills. It’s home to about 100 horses and a variety of spaces, including outdoor and indoor riding arenas, stables, barns and a polo field.

“Cottonwood is an oasis,” said Hieb, 41, who recalls trail riding from Cottonwood to the Highlands Ranch Mansion years ago. “The people and the horses here are calm.”

The surrounding land will soon change. Sterling Ranch — a 3,400acre, mixed-use development that is expected to have 12,000 homes after a 20-year buildout — is under construction south of Cottonwood.

Instead of resisting change, the sisters say they are going with the flow.

They recently finished a new 23-stall barn to accommodate more horses, and they are building berms around

Cottonwood Riding Club, 10415 Roxborough Park Road, is an oasis in northwestern Douglas County, according to owners and sisters Erica Gandomcar-Sachs and Tara Gandomcar Hieb. The 100-acre facility is home to about 100 horses and professional training is offered in all performances, inlcuding Western, English and Polo. “We can make your horsey dreams come true,” Gandomcar-Sachs said.

ALEX DEWIND the property to block off some of the outside commotion.

“Our dad taught us to be compassionate,” said Gandomcar-Sachs, 37, who lives with her husband and 3-year-old daughter in the Cottonwood home she was raised in. “Everyone is entitled to live somewhere, and Douglas County is a great place to live.”

The sisters also learned from their parents how to deal with a variety of people. They see all walks of life at their facility, from those who participate in polo — a sport often associated with the wealthy — to those who are getting on a horse for the first time.

Their goal, they said, it to revolutionize the industry.

“The horse industry is very traditional,” Hieb said. “Why not make it more accessible to the masses?”

The facility has eight trainers who teach and train a variety of riding styles, including jumping, dressage, English and polo.

Annie Lloyd, of Littleton, has been a trainer at Cottonwood since 2001.

The aspect she likes most about Cottonwood is that it isn’t limited to one riding style.

“It’s healthy for the horse and the rider,” she said. “Imagine getting up and going to work every single day.

You need some variation — like a vacation or a holiday.”

Cottonwood also provides a place for residents near and far to board

their horses. Sherri Gronli, who lives down the road in Sunshine Acres, has kept her horse at Cottonwood for 15 years.

Gronli started horseback riding as a mother-daughter activity. Her daughter didn’t take to the riding, but she did. She visits Cottonwood three to four times a week.

“It’s my sanctuary,” she said. “It’s my favorite place to be.”

VETERANS DAY SALUTE

One couple’s mission of matrimony Veterans who met at Cimarron Veterans Day assembly now married

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Erin and Cole Vollenweider lived in Parker and went to the same schools a year apart, graduating in 2006 and 2007, but they didn’t meet until a middle school Veterans Day assembly in 2010, where they talked to students about the oaths they swore to protect the United States.

Five years later, they took another vow, to each other.

Cole, a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps who had returned from active infantry duty in Afghanistan, had been coming to Cimarron Middle School in Parker to talk about his service since his boot camp days. Erin, a medical flight specialist with the Air Force, was nervous about her first presentation to the students.

“We started off taking turns, then we kind of just talked together,” Erin said. “It just clicked.”

By the time they both left the school that day, Erin didn’t have the jitters anymore. And, thanks to the teacher who coordinated the assembly, she had Cole’s phone number.

The teacher “was telling me all day that she was going to get her number for me,” Cole said with a grin. “But those two beat me to the punch.”

The couple became fast friends, talking on the phone and emailing, and taking things slowly.

“I didn’t have much of an expectation, we were just going to have a friendship,” Erin said. “Because of our life schedules, we didn’t see each other again until that January.”

The two began dating in September 2011, almost a year after the Cimarron assembly, and were married in 2015.

They don’t talk shop much now, but Cole said the common experiences they shared in the military gave them a foundation to build their relationship.

“You get out and you’re kind of a black sheep in a way,” he said. “You’ve done things and seen things the average person wouldn’t feel comfortable having a discussion about, so it’s nice to have someone who understands the way things are.”

Erin didn’t deploy until the two had already been dating for more than a year. In 2012, she joined a medical flight evacuation unit at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. She took comfort knowing Cole was waiting at home, and that he knew what she was going through.

“The first month we weren’t in touch much, but it made it easier to know that he got it,” Erin said. “I didn’t have to explain if I couldn’t call because he understood.”

But after the things he saw during

The Vollenweiders pose with their dog, Lulu, after their wedding in 2015. The couple say they still have busy schedules that keep them apart much of the time, but they value what time they do get to spend with each other.

PHOTOS COURTESY ERIN VOLLENWEIDER

Cole Vollenweider poses during a tour in Afghanistan. Erin deployed after Cole retired from the Marines. He says it was like watching a loved one going through a car crash that he couldn’t stop.

Erin and Cole Vollenweider walk hand in hand at the 302nd Annual Airman of the Year Award Banquet in 2012. Erin won Junior Enlisted Member of the Year. his tours of duty, Cole was less at ease with the situation.

“You feel helpless, you feel like you’re watching someone you care about getting in a car accident and you can’t do anything to stop it,” he said.

They live in Parker, under the same roof, but scheduling time together is still a challenge. Cole just began

working for the Commerce City Police Department and doesn’t have a set schedule, while Erin works 12-hour shifts at Craig Hospital and still serves as technical sergeant in the Air Force reserves.

A rare dinner at a restaurant, or even running errands on one of Erin’s days switching from day to night shifts, now counts as a date.

“We just know that sometimes you don’t know when the other one is coming home,” Erin said. “We adapt and change, our whole relationship has been that way.”

Some couples would be frustrated by the lack of time together, but for Erin and Cole, whose experiences have shown them how precious life is, any time together is a gift.

“We capitalize on the time we have together,” Cole said. “We try to make the best of everything.”

VETERANS DAY SALUTE

Board member knows war firsthand Veteran helps others receive mental health assistance

ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH COLORADO The 501c(3) nonprofit began in 1953 with a meeting of representatives from around the state and Denver Mayor Quigg Newton. They discussed the need for community involvement and increased resources in mental health facilities.

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Herbert Merrill began serving in the U.S. Army in 1964, leading resupply missions with the 62nd Transportation Company in Longh Binh, Vietnam. His job was to make sure troops had the supplies they needed to return to battle.

Now, he works to ensure veterans returning from combat can find the help they need to return to society.

“I want to do the best I can to help those in need,” he said. “I can understand their perspective because I share their experience.”

Merrill, a Parker resident, serves on the board of directors with Mental Health Colorado. The nonprofit group has advocated for mental health policy in the state since 1953.

Merrill, 74, served in Vietnam from 1964-68 and transferred to a reserve unit in the United States, serving as chief of staff for a chemical weapons research facility in Aberdeen, Maryland, until his honorable discharge in 1991.

After earning master’s degrees in counseling and rehabilitative psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a doctorate in adult and continuing education from Columbia University, Merrill started a successful consulting business.

He’s had a happy and productive life since retiring from the Army, but he knows many others who served in the military haven’t been so fortunate.

“What you have is someone who is

The group advocates for public policy on behalf of more than 1 million Colorado residents facing mental health or substance abuse problems. Over the last year, the group fought against a bill that would have reversed the expansion of Medicaid and blocked Coloradans from enrolling in private insurance plans through the state health exchange and another bill that would have stripped 15- to 17-year-olds of the right to seek mental health counseling without their parents’ permission.

Mental Health Colorado can be reached at 1-844493-TALK(8255).

Dr. Herbert Merrill II sits in the DTC office for his private practice on Oct 20. Merrill works with Mental Health Colorado to easily connect veterans with mental health services to aid in their transition from the military to a successful civilian life.

TOM SKELLEY coming out of a normal environment that is thrust into a situation where they have to figure out how to survive,” he said. When they come back, “they go out into the world, still in survival mode.”

Pride, a sense of isolation and stigmas around mental health problems can make it difficult for veterans to seek help, he said. Once they’ve made that decision, it’s critical to connect them to that help as quickly as possible.

The MHC website has a feature that allows clients to initiate their own mental health screening process, making it easy to identify issues such as PTSD and connect the user to appropriate service providers.

Veterans Day specials in Littleton Local companies offer discounts to vets

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many national chain restaurants and stores offer deals to veterans every Nov. 11, but a couple of local businesses are getting in on it as well.

Dental work This is the second year Southbridge Dentistry, 7889 South Lincoln Court, Littleton, has advertised its free Veterans Day dental work, but office manager Megan Shepard said the clinic provided dental care to veterans prior to that.

She said the clinic’s staff has been doing consultations and booking appointments since August, and they expect about 60 veterans to have work

done, and not just cleanings, but fullservice dentistry, including dentures and crowns.

“We’re doing thousands of dollars worth of work on each one,” she said, estimating that $70,000 to $80,000 in care would be donated, with the dentists and hygienists working for free.

Shepard, whose husband is a veteran, said that there is a definite need for dental care in the veteran community.

“We’ve been told that there is a twoyear waiting list for dental services at the VA,” she said.

CPR and first-aid classes Tim Snyder, a paramedic and the owner of Colorado Cardiac CPR and First Aid, 7261 S. Broadway, Littleton, is a veteran as well.

He’s offering free classes for veterans on Nov. 11, with two slots for basic life support for health care providers and one each for bystander CPR and bystander first-aid.

Anyone concerned about their mental health or the mental health of their child can visit their website and fill out an anonymous screening form at mentalhealthcolorado.org/screenings.

to the right resources the first time,” he said.

As a board member, Merrill makes recommendations to the staff, but on occasion, he gets involved personally. He presents workshops, such as a recent one at New Hope Baptist Church in Denver, to raise awareness

of the services MHC makes available.

Face-to-face contact gets him out of the office, but it also reminds him of why he does what he does in the first place.

“I love working with people,” he said. “They are the key to my happiness.”

The Lee Gulch Overlook is the latest of several Littleton parks, trails or open spaces to receive a facelift, and the city, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District and Arapahoe County Open Spaces celebrated its improvements on Nov. 2.

The 5.5-acre area that became the park was purchased out of foreclosure in 2009 and improvements to it were funded in 2013 by Great Outdoors Colorado, the South Metro Land Conservancy, the city, the county and South Suburban.

“For many years, it was kind of

The park, situated along the South a e Platte River just north of Reynolds c Landing, is the terminus of the Lee Gulch Trail, which weaves through southern Littleton and connects the t s High Line Canal Trail to the Mary Carter Greenway Trail.

Improvements included cleaning up a pond and adding a crusher fine trail, a nature play area and a new parking lot.

Higher-education campus in the works

A partnership is forming between Arapahoe Community College, Colorado State University and the Douglas County School District to create a higher-education campus in Castle Rock.

The project is still in the planning stages and a location has not been determined.

The collaboration aims to create an educational environment that will provide local high school students with a chance for concurrent enrollment for college credit, as well as provide further higher education for adults.

“The educational system is now catching up with the population of learners,” said Kathay Rennels, associate vice president for engagement at CSU. “You no longer have to leave where you are and come to Fort Collins to get a higher education. You can continue your education wherever you are.”

Rennels said, to her knowledge, it is the first collaboration of its kind in the state. She said Castle Rock, with a popu-

lation of about 60,000, has been targeted for the campus because of its growing population and accessibility from other areas along I-25.

Rennels said the idea is to look at education as a continuous ecosystem rather than levels of achievement one passes through.

“We also see this as an opportunity for older learners to continue their education or be retrained in a new field in a way that fits into their lives.”

Arapahoe Community College has campuses in Littleton, Parker and Castle Rock.

ACC President Diana Doyle said the community college has taken the lead in bringing the program together. ACC already has concurrent enrollment relationships in place with the Douglas County School District and CSU. Doyle said the goal is to “create seamless pathways” for students to move through their education.

A student enrolled in the new program would have the opportunity to move directly through high school, to the community college level and then

Teen suspects in slaying are charged as adults STAFF REPORT

Two 16-year-olds suspected of killing an Englewood man in October are being prosecuted as adults.

Raheem Vaughn Benson, of Littleton, and Louis Fernando Lara-Macias, of Englewood, both face murder charges in connection with the death of Nicholas Lewis, according to a news release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Lewis, 33, a chef at the Blackbird Public House restaurant in Denver, was shot to death a little after 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 in the 3000 block of South Acoma Street, about a block from his home. He reportedly was walking home from the

7-Eleven at Broadway and Dartmouth.

Lewis was the father of an 8-year-old son.

Benson and Lara-Macias are scheduled to appear in court Nov. 28 to be advised of the charges against them.

According to the district attorney’s news release, those charges include: • First-degree murder after deliberation • First-degree felony murder • Conspiracy to commit first-degree murder • Attempted aggravated robbery The two suspects were already in police custody on other charges when they were arrested Oct. 21 on suspicion of killing Lewis.

eventually graduate with a degree from CSU without leaving Douglas County.

School district officials said they were excited at the prospect of expanding their relationship with higher education and to provide more options for students.

“We have always appreciated our strong partnership with Arapahoe Community College, which has afforded numerous concurrent enrollment courses to our students and families,” DCSD Assistant Superintendent Steve Cook said in an emailed statement.

“Expanding on this collaboration, and including CSU Global, we together will provide even more opportunities for our students in the future.”

She added the program will incorporate local businesses.

“Our hope is to bring in local busi-

nesses and entrepreneurs into the fold to give students real-world experiences in their fields,” Doyle said.

Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce President Pam Ridler said higher education has been “the missing piece” that will allow the town to be a self-sustaining community.

“This will assist us in keeping our younger population to stay in Castle Rock after high school and should assist our retail and service industries in (keeping up) with their need for employees,” Ridler said. “The campus at this time is planning to focus on health care, IT and entrepreneurial programing.”

Doyle said more details on the collaboration should be available in early 2017.

“This will be a very unique model,” she said. “It’s not happening anywhere else that we know of at this time.”

Dangerous choices.

That’s what families and seniors face when they can’t afford to pay their home energy bill.

Proposed state budget includes cuts ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado’s transportation, education and health care spending will not grow as hoped for by Gov. John Hickenlooper under a proposed $28.5 billion budget for 2017-18 that he sent to lawmakers last week.

The proposed budget is 3.3 percent larger than this year’s, and it includes requests to use marijuana tax dollars for affordable housing and to combat unregulated marijuana sales.

But Hickenlooper’s plan requires $500 million in transfers, cuts or delayed spending on transit, health care and other programs. That $500 million gap includes a projected $195 million

in tax rebates that would be required under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

To close the gap, Hickenlooper proposes reducing payments from hospitals by $195 million; not fully funding K-12 education; cutting transportation spending increases; and keeping nearly $32 million in severance taxes normally used to compensate local governments for mineral extraction.

The moves would eliminate a refund in 2018 — a point of contention during the last legislative session.

Republicans insist the hospital payments, which are used to get federal matching grants, can trigger state tax refunds; Democrats want to sever the payments from TABOR.

Littleton man awarded MINI Cooper for making big impact Schomp MINI recognizes Chris Chappell for his involvement in the disabled and automotive communities

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Following a mountain biking accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down, Chris Chappell was told he would have to drive a minivan for the rest of his life. The vehicle would provide room for his wheelchair.

Instead, Chappell — a car person by nature — found a way to incorporate hand controls into his favorite car: a MINI Cooper.

“A car is a very personal thing for some people — imagine if that was taken away from you,” said Chappell, a Littleton resident and voice-over artist. “I consider it a privilege and a great adventure every time I get in my car.”

On Oct. 28, Schomp MINI in Highlands Ranch honored Chappell with a one-of-a-kind award for his advocacy and involvement in the disabled community and in the automotive world.

Chappell, 52, was selected out of 64 nominees nationwide for MINI’s Defy Labels Contest — a campaign that

honors one individual who is the best representation of a label-defying journey. Chappell was chosen by public vote because of his efforts in defying the traditional labels of someone with his disability.

His prize was a two-year lease of his dream car — a sleek, navy blue $42,000 2017 MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works Hardtop with a touch of red along the grille.

“It wasn’t just because Chris was handicapped,” said Daniel Buxbaum, Schomp’s marketing content manager, “but also because of all he’s done in our community and state.”

Chappell became heavily involved in the spinal cord injury community and in the MINI Cooper community following his accident in 2000. While mountain biking, he fell the wrong way, broke his neck and became paralyzed from the waist down. He was in an intensive care unit for a week and in rehabilitation for the following months at Craig Hospital in Englewood.

Chappell went on to design and implement the “Craig Hospital — Rebuilding Lives” Colorado license plate, which took effect in 2012. Proceeds from the license plate benefit the hospital, which specializes in spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. He’s also president of MINI5280 — a car club of about 250 members that hosts local and nationwide MINI Cooper events.

Chappell describes the MINI Cooper as a unique and quirky car that is

very wheelchair-friendly. Its side doors open 90 degrees, which makes for a larger doorway and allows for a wheelchair to be transferred inside.

The car fits his wife and 8-year-old daughter and is “extremely fun to drive,” he said.

Even more, his MINI is a place where he feels absolutely normal.

“When I’m at a stop light, you can’t tell I’m using hand controls,” he said.

MINI’s Defy Labels award sends a message to the community: “You can do something that the rest of the world told you you can’t,” Chappell said. “Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it.”

Chris Chappell is recognized as grand prize winner of MINI USA’s Defy Labels Contest and receives the keys to a 2017 MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works Hardtop at a Schomp MINI ceremony Oct. 28.

Some cancer drugs may pose rare cardiac risks

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Doctors have found a disturbing downside to some powerful new drugs that harness the immune system to fight cancer: In rare cases, they may cause potentially fatal heart damage, especially when used together.

“The problem is, no one has this on their radar,” so patients are not routinely checked for it, said Dr. Javid Moslehi, head of a Vanderbilt University clinic specializing in heart risks from cancer therapies.

He led a report Nov. 2 in the New England Journal of Medicine describing two patients who died of heart trouble two weeks after receiving their first doses of two Bristol-Myers Squibb drugs, Opdivo and Yervoy, for the deadly skin cancer

melanoma.

Two similar drugs also are on the market, and the study leaders believe they might pose heart risks, too.

“My sense is that this is a class effect, not limited to one drug,” Moslehi said.

The risks do not negate the huge benefits of these relatively new types of drugs, doctors stress. Called checkpoint inhibitors, they have transformed treatment of several types of cancer by helping the immune system see and attack tumors.

In rare cases, the immune system seems to attack not only the tumor but also the heart and other muscles, causing dangerous inflammation and heart rhythm problems. Patients need to be told of the risks, monitored closely and treated quickly with medicines to quell

the immune response if trouble develops.

Besides melanoma, the Opdivo-Yervoy combination is used to treat some lung cancers, though at different doses. Other checkpoint inhibitors include Genentech’s Tecentriq, for bladder cancer, and Merck & Co.’s Keytruda, which former President Jimmy Carter received for melanoma that spread to his brain. Many more are in testing.

There have been occasional, previous reports of heart troubles with these drugs. After the two recent deaths, doctors asked Bristol-Myers to check patient safety records on Opdivo and Yervoy.

As of April, 18 cases of serious heart inflammation were found among 20,594 patients receiving either or both drugs,

a rate of 0.09 percent. It was more severe and more common among people on both drugs, affecting 0.27 percent of those patients. Bristol-Myers scientists helped write the journal report, and some other authors consult for the company.

Studies have shown that the drug combination gives a stronger anti-cancer effect than either drug alone, but “we’ve known this is a double-edged sword” because of the risk of over-stimulating the immune system, said Dr. Jeffrey Sosman of Northwestern University in Chicago, who treated the two patients who died.

“The big question is, is there enough advantage to using the combination, which is much more toxic, than a single drug,” he said.

That’s a larger question

facing the cancer field, not just with immune therapies. Some of the newer gene-targeting drugs also have produced major side effects when used in combination. Yet many doctors believe that combos may be the best way to get cancer to go into remission and stay there longer, by shutting down multiple pathways the tumor employs at once.

Dr. Michael Atkins, deputy director of the GeorgetownLombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, believes the heart problems with checkpoint inhibitors will turn out to be treatable in most patients.

“It just gives us a moment of pause,” said Atkins, who led a study that included one of the two patients who died. “This is a rare event ... but it’s a particularly serious one.”

In local stop, Bernie Sanders slams big-money donations

Former presidential candidate makes case for Morgan Carroll and Hillary Clinton

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders criticized the role of money in the political system during a stop in Highlands Ranch to promote the campaign of a congressional hopeful.

Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, called the United States a political and economic oligarchy, saying that Hillary Clinton told him that in the first 100 days of her administration, she would propose a constitutional amendment overturning the 2010 Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission.The 5-4 decision held that political financial contributions by corporations and unions are protected speech. “(Republicans) think it is a wonderful idea that billionaires can pour millions of dollars into this congressional district,” Sanders said three days before Election Day. Sanders was at ThunderRidge High School on Nov. 5 for a Morgan Carroll campaign rally. Carroll, an Aurora

Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke to about 1,000 people at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch on Nov. 5.

KYLE HARDING Democrat, was looking to build support in her attempt to unseat 6th Congressional District incumbent Mike Coffman, R-Aurora.

Sanders proved popular with Colorado Democrats while he was challenging Clinton, winning the ma-

jority of the state’s delegates in the caucus in March running to her left while mainly focusing on economic issues.

During the Nov. 5 rally, Sanders called for universal health care and a higher minimum wage, but did not

mention Colorado’s two ballot initiatives on those issues — Amendment 69, which would establish a statewide health care system, and Amendment 70, which would raise the minimum wage to $12 per hour by 2020.

He also assured his fans in the audience that Clinton stands for what he stands for on issues ranging from free college education and health care to criminal justice reform to climate policy. In addition, he criticized the pharmaceutical industry for high prescription drug prices.

“I’ve got a message for the drug companies,” Sanders said. “Either you’re going to voluntarily lower your prices or we’re going to do it for you.”

Sanders also called for student loan forgiveness for people working for the government and nonprofit organizations and also called on the federal government to create jobs.

“The fastest way to do that is to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure,” he said.

From the podium, Sanders held up a copy of the national Democratic Party platform, telling his supporters that they gave him the political clout to push the platform to the left.

Chris McCarron, of Denver, who wore a “Bernie for President” T-shirt, said he was happy that Sanders had been able to influence the party platform.

“He’s not fighting from the outside anymore,” he said.

Hepatitis C-infected kidneys eyed for use in transplants

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS

A bold experiment is giving some patients a chance at cutting years off their wait for a kidney transplant if they agree to a drastic-sounding option — getting an organ almost sure to infect them with hepatitis C. Betting on new medications that promise to cure hepatitis C, two leading transplant centers aim to use organs that today go to waste, a bid to put a dent in the nation’s long transplant waiting list.

Pilot studies are underway at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University to test transplant-

ing kidneys from deceased donors with hepatitis C into recipients who don’t already have that virus. If the groundbreaking research eventually pans out, hundreds more kidneys — and maybe some hearts and lungs, too — could be transplanted every year.

“We always dreaded hepatitis C,” said Dr. Peter Reese, a Penn kidney specialist who is helping lead the research. “But now hepatitis C is just a different disease,” enough to consider what he calls the trade-off of getting a new kidney years faster but one that comes with a hopefully treatable infection.

It’s a trade-off prompted by an organ shortage. More than 99,000 people are

on the national kidney waiting list, but only about 17,000 people a year get a transplant and 4 percent a year die waiting, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).

“If we had enough organs, we wouldn’t do this,” said Dr. Niraj Desai, who is leading the Hopkins study. But, Desai said, “most patients are pretty open to the idea once they hear what the alternatives are.”

Doctors had told 66-year-old Irma Hendricks of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, to expect at least a five-year wait for a kidney transplant. Dialysis three times a week was keeping her alive, but leaving her with no energy for even routine activities. “I call it the

zombie syndrome,” she said.

She jumped at the chance to enroll in Penn’s study, even though doctors made clear they hoped for but couldn’t guarantee a hepatitis cure.

“My son said, `Mom, this is a nobrainer. Just do it,’” Hendricks said.

She swallowed an anti-hepatitis pill daily for three months, in addition to the usual post-transplant medications.

Testing showed the drugs rapidly cleared hepatitis C out of her bloodstream. With her new kidney functioning well, she now has enough energy to play with her toddler grandson.

“This is giving people in my situa-

A few more thoughts on why we all need an attitude of gratitude WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

With the month of November upon us and Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away, I am finding myself consumed with feelings of gratitude. Perhaps I am finding myself in this state of abundant gratitude because of the holiday and how we are all called to remember and give thanks for all of our blessings. I am not exactly sure what is driving the immense feeling of gratitude, but I am very glad it is here.

Over these next few weeks I will continue to explore the attitude of gratitude and what it really means to give thanks and show appreciation for what we have been given, what we have earned, the people in our lives, and for all of the opportunities

that are still to come.

Zig Ziglar used to share these statements when talking about gratitude, “Gratitude is one of the healthiest of all human emotions,” and he also shared, “The more that we can show gratitude for what we already have, the more that we will have to be grateful for.” So as much as we want to look into our future or look to new opportunities to be thankful for, it is so very important to first recognize and appreciate the people and the things that are already in our lives at this very moment.

Too often I believe that many of us get caught up in a “Grass is always greener on the other side” mentality. We stop appre-

ciating what we have right in front of us and we seek to add more toys or “things” to our lives, thinking that those will bring us greater joy and happiness.

And believe it or not, there are those amongst us who have stopped showing appreciation or recognizing the people in their lives who have always been there for them and who will always be there for them in the future. These great friends or family members are those who never seem to say “No,” and who walk by our side during our victories and who stand next to us in our very worst moments. Whether we need a SEE NORTON, P15

An open heart provides more joy, better health, improved and stronger relationships, lots more fun, and an overall glow. With all of these benefits, what are you waiting for?

Recent studies prove this is not the case. We are far more powerful and diverse than originally thought. Rigorous studies by HeartMath, Heart/ Mind Connection, etc., are trail-blazers in demonstrating this connection and using it to your benefit.

Switching to a habit of opening your heart is very achievable. No magic involved, but it does take intention and discipline. You’re spent years building the habit of living with a closed heart so you can’t stop doing this immediately. It’s like turning SEE BOTT, P22

Facing a product means that the label faces frontally.

NORTON: Small gestures of appreciation and gratitude can create moments of joy FROM PAGE 14

ride, a loan or a loaf of bread, these individuals are our constant “go-to” people. So why don’t we let them know more frequently? Do we say thank you as often as we could? Have we sent them a “thank you” card or small gift showing our appreciation?

You see, showing gratitude and appreciation doesn’t have to be celebrated with huge grandiose gifts or acknowledgments. As a matter of fact most times the person receiving that “Thank you” would prefer to stay under the radar and is much happier with a simple “Thank you.”

One of my favorite ways of showing someone how grateful I am for all that they may be doing in my life or have done for me at some point is to do something special in return. If I have received a terrific meal I will usually take over washing the dishes and clearing the table. If someone helped me on a project or at an event I will make sure to acknowledge their efforts to the audience or to my colleagues. And if it is someone who consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty I will make it a point to send them a note, an email, a text, or I will call them and share my gratitude personally.

That message may look like or sound something like this, “I just wanted to call and let you know that you made my day today. I don’t always have the opportunity to share with you how much I appreciate all that you do, but today when I woke up I remembered just how blessed I am to have you in my life. Whenever

we have a chance to talk or exchange messages you always lift me up and that means the world to me. You are a true friend and today I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you.”

Trust me, if you send out two or three of those messages to the special people in your life you will probably receive some fairly positive, emotional, and thankful messages in return. And don’t limit yourself to two or three, I have found myself sending out five to 10 in a given day.

There should be no limit or ceiling to the number of grateful messages that you share with those who you truly appreciate.

Just imagine how you might feel if someone sent you such a message, I’ll bet you would probably feel pretty good, maybe even awesome.

The attitude of gratitude is so very powerful.

So how about you? As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday are you taking the time to appreciate what you already have as well as the most important people in your life?

Or could you use a little reminder to help develop that attitude of gratitude? Either way I would love to hear all about your views on gratitude at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we appreciate what we have and openly show our gratitude, it really will be a better than good week.

are done to promote good luck, or to fend off bad luck.

On the 15th of every month, at 7 in the morning sharp, I recite the first line of “A Tale of Two Cities” to my dog.

I never say “gesundheit” when someone sneezes. Instead I say, “You asked for it. You got it. Toyota.”

If someone tries to pull the “interrupting cow, knock-knock” joke on me, I automatically begin to sing “Help Me Rhonda.” I can’t explain it.

I have no peculiar routines before I paint or write, unless you consider a slice of haggis and a glass of Ovaltine a peculiar routine.

Each of us has endearing moments of behavior that are unique, and develop over time, and that may seem odd to others.

How we arrange our shirts and shoes, for example. What do you do with currency? Are the portraits

this way and that, or are they all frontal in your wallet?

Candles, crosses, charms, talismans, amulets, totems — do any of them do any good?

I met a man who operated a fourleaf clover farm. He was the unluckiest man I have ever known.

Some people have been hit by lightning more than once, and some have won the lottery more than once.

I’d look them up if I had the resources. I think it would make a good documentary.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the unlucky ones have the very same superstitions that the lucky ones have.

Even so, I keep an acorn at the window. It keeps the lightning out.

OBITUARIES STRANDBERG

RUSSELL R. “Russ” STRANDBERG 1936-2016

competitions, sporting events and neighborhood night games when a second transfer brought the Strandbergs back to Colorado.

Of Littleton, Colorado.

“A peaceful experience.”

Those three words were used to describe what it was like getting to know Russell Raymond Strandberg, but they also define his entire life, including the way he left this world surrounded by his family.

A gentle man who did more listening than talking, Russ was born on March 29, 1936 in Conrad, MT, the first of Ray and Evelyn Strandberg’s two boys. On the flat oil fields where their father worked underneath the vaulted Montana sky, Russ and his brother Keith attended a single-room schoolhouse, and filled their days with different adventures or various sports.

Russ would go on to graduate from Montana State in Bozeman, and accepted a civilian job in the summer of 1958 at Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino, CA. Nine months into that position, Russ was hired by United Airlines.

That proved to be a wise decision for both him and the company. Thirty-seven years later he retired from the airline after making lifelong friends and lifelong memories, as the travel benefits were one of the favorite perks offered

by United. Over the next 50 years, Russ and his family saw much of the country, visited different parts of the world, and revisited Montana countless times.

While Russ was beginning his career at United in 1959, he married Connie McCafferty, a native of Belt, MT. They started their lives together in Denver, CO, and started their family in 1961 with the birth of their son Todd. A job transfer soon took them to Palatine, IL, which is where sons No. 2 and 3 would be born – Neil in 1965 and Glen in 1967.

Looking back, it turns out Russ and Connie had a knack for finding wonderful homes surrounded by unforgettable neighbors, with kids in practically every household. Palatine’s block parties, Fourth of July parades and impressive imitation of the 1972 Olympic Games were replaced by pool parties, marching band

It was in the same home that Russ and Connie purchased in Littleton in 1974 where Russ quietly passed away on October 31, 2016. Always the listener, Russ was unable to speak during his final days, but close friends and family visited and said goodbye to an impossibly kind husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. And you knew he could hear everyone because he never lost his ability to smile.

Survived by his wife of 57 years, Connie; three sons Todd, Neil (Suzanne) and Glen (Julia); four grandchildren (Heather, Michelle, Elin and Wilhelm); one great grandchild (Oliver); and brother Keith Strandberg, Russ will be missed every day. Especially during quiet moments on a hike, or when you laugh so hard it makes tears stream down your face.

Memorial Service plans for later in the year are pending. You are welcome to make a donation to First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, 1609 W. Littleton Blvd., Littleton, Colorado 80120 or a charity of your choice in his memory.

Please visit online later for service details or to leave condolences on Russ’s Tribute Wall at www.EllisFamilyServices.com A Celebration of Life Memorial will be held Thursday, December 29, 2016, at 10:00 AM at the First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, 1609 W. Littleton Blvd., Littleton, Colorado 80120.

Helping others is the best antidote for holiday loneliness

holidays? holidays

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or years while working retail, Barbara Penning would find herself in a new city during the holidays.

“When that happened, I’d try to think of ways I could celebrate the season differently,” she remembered.

“I’d do things like go to a food kitchen and volunteer there.”

And now, as director of volunteer programs and in-kind donations with the Action Center in Jefferson County, a nonprofit that provides resources to homeless and low-income families, Penning wants everyone to have the same opportunity to give back.

“The need is huge, and we have opportunities for anyone who wants to contribute,” she said. “I always tell our volunteers to use their gifts. If they’re very organized, we have jobs for that, if you like working with clothing, we have jobs for that, or if you just want to work on your own, we have jobs for you.”

People find themselves alone during the holidays for myriad reasons: Perhaps they are new to their town, perhaps family and friends are all away on vacation or have prior commitments, or maybe they just have a small social circle. But they can all make the holidays a trying time.

“The holidays are tough, especially because so much is built around family and friends,” said Shannon L. Gwash, director of wellness services at the Jefferson Center for Mental Health.

“There are times when that is just not an option for people.”

The transition from summer to winter is often when seasonal affective disorder starts, with colder weather and longer nights, and this can also make the holidays feel isolating and depressing.

One of the best ways to fight off holiday loneliness, Gwash said, is to go be around people.

“It might seem counter-intuitive, because when one feels lonely, the tendency is often to hold up on one’s own,” SEE HOLIDAYS, P17

The Action Center volunteers get toys ready for the organization’s annual Santa Shop. The event provides free gifts for parents to give to their children.

DJs around Colorado make the personal a performance There is no one way to make music.

Some create with their voices, others use instruments, and people like Kyle Montoya, also known as DJ Hijinx, make it using turntables and computers.

“Being able to unite all kinds of Clarke Reader different people on the dance floor is no easy thing,” Montoya said.

“And if you’re able to do it with some skill and artistry, it becomes magic.”

Montoya has been a DJ in the Denver metro area for 15 years, but found succeeding in a scene crowded with high prices and competition to be difficult.

“There’s all kind of equipment and things I would need for a performance that I just couldn’t find for any affordable price,” he said.

“The DJ industry is often a very cutthroat one, and I didn’t want it to be

LINER NOTES

like that in Denver.”

About a year ago Montoya started Mile High DJ Supply, located at 6652 Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada, as a hub for DJs all over the state to get affordable equipment and information in one place. What he had not counted on was the community that sprang up around his business.

“I ended up becoming the home to the biggest network of DJs in the state,” he said. “I want the DJ community in Colorado to be a place where everyone and all skills are welcome. Where we help bring up the best DJs we have.”

When many think of Colorado DJs, they picture electronic artists like Pretty Lights, Big Gigantic and Savoy. But Mile High DJ supply also works with bar and wedding DJs, as well as those who spin for their own amusement.

In addition to selling and renting turntables and other equipment needed to spin and perform, Montoya is also interested in supporting the DJ community and encouraging the next generation. Montoya offers classes for lessons for any ages, and

offers a six week class that gives a complete look at the art.

Mile High DJ also hosts scratch sessions every Wednesday night, for DJs to compete and get to know each other. Well known and awardwinning local DJs like Chris Karns often attends. The sessions are live-streamed for those who want to watch and listen from home.

Looking forward, Montoya is hosting an event called DJ’s Day Off at Bellwether Coffee and Whiskey Bar, 5126 E. Colfax Ave., on Nov. 22, and wants to increase booking offerings at bars and clubs for interested DJs. It’s this variety of settings and styles for DJ performances that makes it so interesting and easy to get into, Montoya said. But it’s the injection of one’s own personality that makes it really special.

“Everyone is a DJ if you think about it,” he said. “With the same lists of music, each person will create a different set based on who they are.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Jim James’ “Eternally Even” released on ATO/Capitol Records.

Review: The lead singer of My Morning Jacket, and owner of one of contemporary music’s best voices, gets psychedelic and trippy on his second solo album. Fans of classic and prog rock will find much to like on the one-two punch of “We Ain’t Getting Any Younger” parts one and two, while the guitar work on “The World’s Smiling Now” channels My Morning Jacket at their catchiest. James’ pleas for peace and unity hit hard after a too-long election cycle finally winding down.

she said. “Even if you don’t interact with anyone, just being out helps.

Instead of making coffee at home, go to a cafe and read for an hour or just sit.”

Talking to someone also is a good idea, Gwash said. That can be a friend or family member, but the Jefferson Center and other mental health organizations have contacts for short-term therapy.

“A lot of people think going to therapy is this long, drawn-out process,” she said. “We have a brief therapy program for people who need just a few sessions so they can share how they’re feeling. You don’t have to have a diagnosis.”

Volunteering is a great way to help people and improve one’s own

mood, and can do wonders for mental health, Gwash said. Especially around the holidays, organizations like Douglas/Elbert Task Force,The Action Center, food banks and veterans organizations can always use people to help.

“We can’t do anything without volunteers,” said Jenny Follmer, deputy director of the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. The task force is a nonprofit that provides assistance to residents of the two counties who are in serious economic need. “Going into the busiest season of the year, we have a place for anyone who wants to donate their time.”

One of the most common charitable holiday activities are collection drives for needed items like food, clothing and toys. And the more successful a drive, the more help is

needed on the beneficiary organization’s end to unpack and sort everything, Penning said.

“We start getting all kinds of stuff for our annual Santa Shop at the end of November and early December,” she said. “We always need to people to be here to move all the donated items to the right place and get it organized.”

To keep things running smoothly during the holidays, Penning estimates The Action Center needs about 15 volunteers a day to help with various projects. The center also hosts an annual Thanksgiving food distribution event on Nov. 20, and its Santa Shop is from Dec. 12 through 17. Both these events require even more hands on deck.

“There’s not a better way to kick off the season and to get a smile than

helping a parent or grandparent pick out a gift for their child,” she said.

The Douglas/Elbert Task Force has a thrift store and food bank, and can use volunteers in all areas, from cashiers to shelf stockers and pricers.

“There is so much more stress during the holidays, and colder weather means higher utility bills as well,” Follmer said. “So many people are struggling, and we’re here to help in any way we can.”

Regardless of what a person decides to do, Penning said helping others is the best cure for holiday loneliness.

“The holidays are one of the few times when the world comes together,” she said. “Go with your instincts, and find a way to use what gives you pleasure to help others.”

Wind Crest troupe brings ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ to stage Readers Theater production has actors carrying scripts

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wind Crest retirement community in Highlands Ranch has a Readers Theater group, led by resident Jack Ligget, numbering 40 members. They get together to socialize and enjoy well-written plays and poetry as they read aloud.

“Pieces range from short skits to

longer dramatic selections,” Ligget said. Included are “cuttings from play scripts, a variety of poems and other readings where interpretation of character as well as mood and intent become important,” he added.

At 8 p.m. on Nov. 18 and 19, members will present a staged performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning (1988) play “Driving Miss Daisy” by Alfred Uhry.

The play starts with a crash, as 72-year-old Daisy Werthan, a crotchety, well-off Atlanta Jewish woman, has just damaged her garage as she tries to park. Her son Boolie is there and decides she shouldn’t drive any-

This performance will be a staged reading, with costumes and a set, lighting and sound, but the three actors will carry a script with them, instead of entirely memorizing it.

There will be a 12-member crew supporting the cast with the technical aspects of the show.

“Driving Miss Daisy” is the first in Uhry’s “Atlanta Trilogy.” Other titles are “The Last Night of Ballyhoo” and “Parade.” All are based on Uhry’s experiences in Atlanta as a Jew.

Two new books may appeal to youngsters who love science

Paleontology, astronomy come to life for children

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a previous trip to the Smithsonian Institution, schoolmates Dominique, Eric, Josephine and Ajay went back in time to the 1876 Philadelphia Exhibition and discovered that the nefarious Barris brothers had brought back dinosaur eggs as a new business venture. In the first in a series of Smithsonian graphic novels for tweens, “The Wrong Wrights,” they enlisted Alexander Graham Bell, Nellie Bly and William Foulke to thwart this plot.

In a second graphic novel, published by the Smithsonian, “Claws and Effect,” these kids are riding home on a school bus one later day and they look out a window and see dinosaurs from every age and of all kinds creeping and flying through the neighborhood! The Natural History Museum has become The Museum of Extinction, and their friend Smitty from the Smithsonian has contacted the quartet on their DARC bracelets (database access and retrieval conduit — kind of like the wristwatch radios available to heroes of the past) asking for help in this latest incident.

Josephine, who knows the correct name for each specimen, adopts a Compsognathus, a sweet, cuddly little pink flying dino she calls Penny, which seems to have taken the place of her pet kitty. It says “meep” and rides in her backpack.

The others appear and they’re off on another time trip visit to the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition, the first World’s Fair … The involved tale goes on from there, with historical characters and situations and identification of a number of extinct species …

For a science-oriented, imaginative kid, the idea of a neighborhood

“Claws and Effect” is a new graphic novel for young readers, recently published by the Smithsonian Institution. COURTESY PHOTO full of dinosaurs is intriguing and fun to read about, I’d think. As is time travel … It should be available in bookstores by now after an Oct. 18 publication date. Authors are Chris Kientz and Steve Hockensmith.

Also recently received here is “Astronomy Lab for Kids” by Michelle Nichols, M.Ed. She describes 52 family-friendly activities, done with items that are around the house, or easily obtainable. This one will need occasional assistance from the adults around the house, when sharp items are needed for cutting, but otherwise, a kid can measure, tape, assemble and observe — and learn all sorts of techniques that will apply in an actual lab in the future if that’s where she/he is headed. One learns to record results, measure and reach conclusions …

Units are: Observing, Scope it Out!, Size and Scale, Light, Motion and

Astronomy Lab for Kids” by Michelle Nichols of the Adler Planetarium is newly published with activities done with items (mostly) found around the house. COURTESY PHOTO Gravity, Exploring Our Solar System and Seeing Stars.

Lab 107, for example, “Our Changing Moon,” explains “Why does our moon appear to be different shapes?”

Time: 10 Minutes. Materials: chair; one bright lamp or flashlight; one round polystyrene ball, at least 2 inches in diameter (your moon); your science notebook, pencil. This requires two people: the modeler, who holds the moon and walks in a counter-clockwise circle, and the observer, who records the appearance of the moon at different locations, related to the light source. Each lab also has a brief explanation of “The Science Behind the Fun” and a paragraph on “Creative Enrichment.” (In this lab,

it explains the history of the phrase, “dark side of the moon.”)

Author Michelle Nichols is the master educator at Adler Planetarium in Chicago. She has served on planetarium teams to create new shows and exhibits and has developed, facilitated and evaluated hundreds of astronomy, space exploration and history of astronomy activities for audiences ranging from early elementary school children to adults.

It is published by Quarry Books in a large trade paperback, at $24.99. This publisher also offers “Kitchen Science Lab for Kids,” “Amazing (Mostly) Edible Science” and “Outdoor Science Lab for Kids.” Nice holiday gift suggestions for grandparents.

BOTT: Look for reasons to open your heart and get creative about it FROM PAGE 14

an aircraft carrier around – it doesn’t happen on a dime.

You’ve built a lot of momentum moving in the direction of choice and you can’t just change this in an instant.

What you can do in an instant is make the decision to change and start a new habit.

From this point forward it takes diligence and a commitment, but you will ultimately succeed. As with building any habit, reward yourself along the way. Look for things during your day to open your heart to.

Anything — just find more and

more things to appreciate. The sunrise. The fact that you have a beautiful house to live in.

Your health. The great variety of people you work with. Find something in each person that you can open your heart to.

The fact that you live in an abundant, free, society with a plethora of choices. It really doesn’t matter what it is, just open your heart to it and find something to love about it.

Look for reasons to open your heart. Get creative and make a game of it. With practice you’ll get very good at viewing life with an open heart and this will become your

“normal” mode of operation.

You won’t remember how you did it otherwise and will soon forget your old ways of living and making decisions. There isn’t anything wrong with that way – it’s just not as complete and is detrimental to your long-term health. By opening your heart you gain input which is oftentimes much better than just making a rational decision.

The way we were taught to live life and make decisions is just that – a way. Not necessarily “THE WAY” — just a way. There are a multitude of ways to live and choices to

make. So why not start living with an open heart and relish the new experiences and feelings? Add another dimension to your life’s experiences and move forward with a sense of love and anticipation. These are much preferred over dread and loathing.

Begin to make decisions using your heart. Instead of living in your head all the time and making “logical” choices, begin to incorporate your heart and the “feeling” of the situation or desired action. Your heart is a great integrator and will take into account your mental and

emotional states and guide you. We are now learning that your heart is actually able to tap into other vibrations and integrate this information if you will only allow it.

‘Stella and Lou’ is a simple and sweet production

Vintage Theatre offers patrons ‘slice of life’ on Aurora stage

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“STELLA AND LOU” plays through Nov. 27 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Directed by Lorraine Scott. Performances: 7:30 Fridays, Saturdays; 2:30 Sundays. Tickets: $22$30, vintagetheatre.com, 303-856-7830.

Lights in Vintage Theatre’s cozy smaller venue go up on a tiredlooking bar in South Philly as “Stella and Lou” opens. A jar on the bar top says “Help bury Reilly,” because one of the regulars has died at a baseball game and there’s no one to care about him. Except for gentle bartender Lou (Chris Kendall), who has inherited the bar that belonged to his late wife’s family.

Young friend Donnie (Peter Marullo) is struggling with a eulogy for Reilly, who had been there almost every night for 20 years for a beer or a few — but no one really knew him.

Lou’s establishment had a number of regular customers who sat in the bar for hours, year after year, without really communicating much.

Donnie, on the other hand, is just starting his adult life, is about to

marry and probably begin a new way of living, although it terrifies him.

A face appears at the door and it’s a favorite “regular,” Stella (Emma Messenger), a nurse who usually appeared in her scrubs after a long day at the hospital. Tonight, she’s dressed up.

Lou, while his response is low-key, is really happy to see her since she’s been in Florida visiting grandchildren for a while.

She has a couple of suggestions that involve Lou, who insists “he never goes anywhere” — especially since his beloved Louise passed away.

“This play is a `slice of life,’ people searching for someone to make them happy … I love these types of plays that make me laugh and grab my heart,” director Lorraine Scott says

Emma Messenger, Chris Kendall and Peter Maurello play Stella, Lou and Donnie in Bruce Graham’s sweet play, “Stella and Lou,” now playing at Vintage Theatre in Aurora.

in her director’s notes.

Theater lovers will enjoy this simple, well-crafted play as it moves along to a resolution of at least some of the problems presented. Great casting is the key to success here.

Messenger and Kendall are awardwinning actors, with the skills to deliver the delicate interactions, poignant lines and facial expressions needed to, as Scott says, “grab your heart.”

Photographer returns to old stomping grounds

KRATOM: Drug agency has not comprehensively tested product FROM PAGE 3

“It was a blatant overstep,” Pieroni said, saying that the DEA had not received any scientific input before drafting the plan.

Pieroni and Espadero, who own Colorado Herbal Imports on Santa Fe Drive, said their immediate thought was that the DEA was trying to ban kratom at the behest of the pharmaceutical industry.

“A replacement for opioids was starting to materialize in the market,” Pieroni said.

Although people do use kratom recreationally — depending on dosage, it can be either a stimulant or a sedative — Pieroni said most people who have come into his store looking for it are interested in it for pain relief of to wean themselves off stronger prescription painkillers following surgery.

Pieroni’s store is not alone in the area in selling the product — mul-

tiple south metro tobacco shops carry kratom, according to their websites.

Republican U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah wrote a letter asking the DEA to postpone the ban. The letter was signed by senators from both sides of the aisle, including Colorado Democrat Michael Bennet. Another letter was penned by Democratic U.S. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, and another was signed by 51 representatives, including two from Colorado: Republican Scott Tipton and Democrat Jared Polis.

The Drug Policy Alliance — a New York City-based organization that generally opposes the “war on drugs” — also opposed the DEA plan, saying that it would criminalize users and hamper any research into kratom’s effectiveness.

But Littleton City Councilmember Debbie Brinkman believes kratom sales are a cause for concern.

“Certainly a substance like kratom deserves a serious look,” said Brinkman, who opposed a failed ordinance to legalize recreational marijuana sales in the city earlier this year. “Anything that is addictive, has opiate-like effects and is completely unregulated should be illegal.”

Dr. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, agrees that kratom is a concern, but he’s not ready to pronounce it a threat to public health.

“It would be great if we had better research into this,” said Douglas, whose agency serves Arapahoe, Douglas and Adams counties.

For now, though, it’s “consumer beware,” Douglas said.

“I think like every product, the question is: What’s the risk-benefit equation?” he said. “We don’t know.”

SPORTS Warriors win shootout

Arapahoe edges Rangeview in state soccer playoff game

Playoffs no place for teams with losing records OVERTIME

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe scored early in the game and Rangeview tied the score by scoring a goal with 27 seconds remaining in the first half of the Nov. 2 secondround Class 5A state soccer playoff game.

Both teams mounted strong attacks and both teams played stingy defense. The score remained tied through the second half and through both 15-minute overtime periods, so the game went to a shootout.

In the shootout, the Warrior goalie made two saves on five shots; the Rangeview goalie made two saves on four shots; and when the fifth Warrior player put his shot in the net, Arapahoe won the shootout and officially won the game to advance to the Nov. 5 state semifinals against Fossil Ridge. The Warriors’ season ended in that game after a 4-3 loss.

“Rangeview has great speed, they have great talent and they deserved to be here tonight,” Arapahoe Coach Mike Hampshire said after the second-round game. “They played smart, they played tough and it was what a playoff game should be.”

He said the chemistry of this team is exceptional. He said he has great leadership from his seniors and the teamwork is one of the strengths of

Spencer Cobb dives to make a save for Arapahoe during the shootout that decided the Nov. 2 state soccer playoff game against Rangeview. Cobb’s play in the nets helped his team win the shootout and the game and advance to the Nov. 5 state quarterfinals against Fossil Ridge.

TOM MUNDS the Warriors this season.

“It was a physical game and the referees did a good job balancing physical play that is part of a playoff game with making sure the players were always safe,” he said. “It was a good game and a good win for us.”

Key moments The action was fast-paced throughout the two halves and the two overtime periods. It was a very physical game, and frequently a player from each team went to the ground as a result of the collision with an opponent in the battle for a loose ball.

Five players from each team were

AMANDA LEYBA What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie is “The Goonies.” It is an adventure movie that every kid has wanted to go on and it is funny.

What is your favorite pre-competition meal?

My favorite pre-competition meal is a bean and cheese burrito with green chili from Santiago’s. There is no real reason why I like this before a game but they just are satisfying.

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete (past or present)?

My favorite athlete is Ronda Rousey. I like Rousey because she doesn’t back down from anything, she doesn’t care what other people think of her, and she never gives up.

Why do you participate in sports?

I participate in sports because it keeps me moving and I get the chance to make new connections and make new friends. I also like how sports builds character and it shapes you as a person.

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals?

Before every game, I have to put my uniform on the same way, every single time. I also have to wear the same pair of sliding shorts when I play. Before stepping on the field to play, I try not to step on the chalk during warm ups. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t step on the chalk — if I do, then I might have a bad game.

Rangeview shot first and made two of the first five shots against Arapahoe goalie Spencer Cobb, who also made two saves of the first four shots against him. The Warriors got the win when their final shooter put the ball in the net.

Arapahoe senior Jeremy Belin was the goalie through the two halves of regulation play and the two overtime periods. Coach Hampshire said he SEE SOCCER, P29

Maybe it’s time for the Colorado High School Activities Association to adopt what college football has implemented — and I don’t mean spread offenses.

The 16-team Class 5A playoff field was set Nov. 6, with the Jim Benton seven champions of the realigned leagues getting the top seven seeds, with the Ratings Percentage Index formula used to determine the other nine qualifiers.

I’d be surprised if there weren’t plenty of growls about the RPI formula, a computer rating, with two teams having only three wins each making the playoffs.

That’s where the formula for making the playoffs needs an asterisk.

The RPI is complicated and confusing. A pair of three-win teams in the final 16 isn’t OK no matter how strong a schedule they played.

In college, it takes six wins to become bowl eligible. It should take a minimum of five wins in a 10-game slate to become playoff eligible in Colorado high school football.

Nine of the 10 teams ranked below the final qualifier, No. 16 Bear Creek, had .500 or better records, including 8-2 Doherty and 7-3 Fossil Ridge.

They would seem more deserving of a postseason bid than Bear Creek and No.15 Fountain-Fort Carson, which both finished the regular season 3-7.

It will be interesting to note in the next couple weekends whether the lack of tough games will hurt any of the league championship teams in the playoffs. Sometimes it’s good to have a couple close games to prepare a team for the tougher competition in the playoffs.

All of the seven league champions were undefeated in league play. And the margin of victory in each conference was 21 points or better for the title team.

Top-seeded Pomona won the Mount Evans league by an average of 37.2 points a game, Regis Jesuit whipped Mount Antero opponents by an average of 36 points and Grandview had a 35.6 margin of victory in the Mount Massive league.

Winter sports set to start It seems like just a few weeks ago that boys golfers were ushering in the 2016 fall sports season. But the seven winter sports can start official practice Nov. 11. Actually, boys and girls skiing practices have already started.

Initial contests can be played Nov. 30.

BENTON: Time to change scoring system to recognize individual gymnasts FROM PAGE 27

Here are some historical nuggets: • Overland is the defending 5A boys basketball champion. But how many basketball aficionados remember that Greeley was the first state titlist in 1927?

• Lutheran (3A), Valor Christian (4A) and ThunderRidge (5A) were crowned champions last year in girls basketball. In 1979, it was Golden that was the title team.

• Pomona is the defending 5A wrestling champion. In 1936, Greeley won the initial championship.

• Last year, Regis Jesuit was added to the list of hockey champs that started when Littleton won the first title in 1976.

• Valor was the 4A girls swimming winner in 2015 with Fairview capturing the 5A first-place trophy. It was Cherry Creek that was the first girls swimming champ in 1974.

Time to turn it around It’s mind boggling to watch some of the routines of high school girls gymnasts but it sure seems like the scoring to determine the team champion is backward.

Team titles for the two classes are determined on the first day of competition, with the all-around

champion also decided.

Individual titles in four events are determined on the second day and the efforts of those competitors are not part of the final team standings.

It’s the only sport where this happens.

Other sports with individual titles up for grabs, like wrestling, tennis, swimming, golf, cross country and track, wait until the final day, and points for individual state championship wins are tallied in the team scores.

Recruiting event All unsigned Colorado senior football players are encouraged to attend the football recruiting event Dec. 8 at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch.

The purpose of the evening is to provide an opportunity for players to connect with Division II, Division III and NAIA coaches from all over the United States.

“Jeremy (Belin) is our senior and played a big role in getting us here tonight,” the coach said. “Spencer Cobb is also a very good goalie and has done really well against penalty kicks in practice. So I decided to have fresh legs in the net for the shootout so I put Spencer in as goalie. Jeremy is a great leader, accepted the decision and supported and cheered for his teammate.”

Key players/statistics The Arapahoe goal came early in the first half when Danny Tarwick pushed a pass across the mouth of the goal and Jacob Draudt kicked it past the diving goalie.

The Warriors took nine shots on goal.

Three players — Tarwick, Trevor Young

Belin was in goal for the two halves and the two overtime periods, gave up one goal and made 11 saves. Cobb came in for the shootout and made two saves on two of the five penalty shots.

“Everyone depends on you, you can’t make mistakes and I just love being in the goal,” he said. “It is such a great feeling when you make a save on a shot headed for the net. There is nothing like it and I guess that is one of the reasons I love playing goalie.”

TRANSPLANTS: Doctors exploring new ways to meet demand to help kidney patients FROM PAGE 13

tion new hope,” Hendricks said.

Kidney transplant specialists are closely watching the research.

“It makes sense to me,” said Dr. Matthew Cooper, a transplant surgeon at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital who is not involved in the research.

He cautioned that the studies should use only kidneys that are young and otherwise high-quality, and that patients must understand the risks.

“They need to know you place their safety as the highest priority,” Cooper said. “But at the same time, recognize that we have these obstacles. We don’t want people to die on dialysis, and there are not enough organs available for everybody.”

Hepatitis C is a simmering infection that, if untreated, over two to

three decades can quietly destroy someone’s liver.

At least 2.7 million people in the United States have chronic hepatitis C. Until a few years ago, it was treatable only by medications with grueling side effects and poor cure rates.

Now, breakthrough drugs promise to cure 95 percent of hepatitis C cases with fewer side effects — for people who can afford them. Treatment costs tens of thousands of dollars.

Normally, hepatitis C-infected organs are transplanted only into patients who already have hepatitis C themselves, so as not to further spread the virus.

Giving hepatitis C-positive organs to hepatitis C-negative recipients is allowed if the patient agrees, but it’s rare, said Dr. David Klassen, UNOS’ chief medical officer. UNOS statistics show a few dozen such transplants, mostly kidneys, last year,

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

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

presumably when doctors feared their patients wouldn’t survive the wait for a healthier organ.

More often, hospitals discard hepatitis C-infected organs.

Reese and fellow Penn physician Dr. David Goldberg found only 37 percent of hepatitis C-positive kidney donations between 2005 and 2014 were transplanted.

The discards could have helped more than 4,000 patients during that time period, they reported in the New England Journal of Medicine last year.

The opioid epidemic is prompting a jump in donations from people who died of drug overdoses — typically young organs that, absent an infection risk, would be sought after.

The small Penn and Hopkins trials are a first step. Much larger studies are needed to prove whether more routine use of these organs

in immune-suppressed transplant recipients really works.

Cost also is a question. Merck & Co. is helping to fund the pilot trials, donating its medication Zepatier, which costs $54,000 for a round of treatment. That’s still cheaper than a lifetime of a dialysis, which costs about $75,000 a year, UNOS’ Klassen noted.

While the studies began with kidneys because of their demand, “I don’t think there’s any reason, if it proves safe and effective in kidneys, that we wouldn’t want to try it in other organs,” Penn’s Goldberg noted.

Even if the hepatitis C-infected organs prove useful, the nation still is “desperate for more donors,” cautioned Hopkins’ Desai.

“It’s a practical solution to help some of the people. It won’t solve the problem.”
