PARKING GARAGE COLLAPSES
The top level of a parking garage under construction at 9151 E. Panorama Drive in Centennial collapsed and fell five stories the afternoon of Jan 25. A construction worker called 911 at 2:42 p.m. and South Metro Fire Rescue was on scene four minutes later, public information officer Eric Hurst said. “There were no injuries and there is no reason to believe that anybody was trapped,” Hurst said. “All-in-all, it was pretty low-key in the end.” The cause of the collapse was under investigation. The building department from Arapahoe County was on scene, determining what happened and deciding if it was safe for construction workers to continue working. STEPHANIE MASON

Centennial ranks high for first-time homebuyers
The city was rated No. 8 among 448 largest in U.S. despite affordability woes BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Even with home prices climbing, the housing market in Centennial is hot. Just ask John Vizzi. His real estate experience in the south metro Denver area stretches back 38 years. Vizzi said that while housing values are rising significantly, once a house hits the market, it could see eight offers in a day. “First-time homebuyers have to make an offer right away,” Vizzi said. “Most properties sell in less than a week.” In a survey of 448 of the most populous cities in the United States, Centennial ranked as the eighth best city for first-time homebuyers. The survey, conducted by NerdWallet.com, a website that focuses on personal finance, looked at three factors: • Affordability: Analyzing the income-to-home-price ratio and the availability of homeownership assistance programs. • Livability: Crime and school
TOP 10 CITIES FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS 1. Carmel, Indiana 2. Fishers, Indiana 3. Johns Creek, Georgia 4. Frisco, Texas 5. Newton, Massachusetts 6. Allen, Texas rankings. • Stability: Poverty and unemployment data. NerdWallet weighed each of the factors to create a final score for the cities, said NerdWallet senior data analysist Daniel Tonkovich. Where Centennial thrived was the livability portion, where it scored 80.9 out of 100 on the NerdWallet index. Tonkovich said crime was minimal and the school systems ranked highly. Centennial is annually ranked among the safest cities in the nation and its two school districts, Littleton Public Schools and Cherry Creek, are among the highest-achieving in the state. Centennial, which has a population of about 110,000, struggled in the affordability section, scoring 53.16 out of 100. In December, the median sales price of a singlefamily home in the city was $423,000, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. That’s up more than 8 percent since December 2015, and the prices have steadily increased

Centennial’s sales prices for December were about $45,000 higher than the Denver metro area as a whole, the Realtor group reported. “Where Centennial was beaten by the cities above it was affordability,” Tonkovich said. “People looking for their first home are usually not looking for an expensive house, and Centennial was a little more pricey than average.” Tonkovich said that it was a close race in the top 10 cities. Centennial was a mere five points away from the No. 1 spot, receiving a 64.5 overall rating. “We are very happy to see Centennial recognized along with other great Colorado cities,” Mayor Cathy Noon said in a news release. “Buying a home for the first time is a big decision and one that can be stressful, so it is nice to see Centennial excels in the categories important to those looking to purchase a home for the first time.”

Bill would OK gun training for school employees

A bill that recently advanced in the state Senate would allow teachers and other public school employees who have the proper permit to carry a handgun on campus after completing safety training. The legislation is sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, and House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock. It would allow a county sheriff to provide a safety-training course to any employee of any public elementary, middle, junior high or high school who has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, a summary of the bill says. Once that training is completed, the employee would be permitted to carry the handgun on campus. Senate Bill 17-005 was approved by a 3-2 vote Jan. 24 by the Senate Committee on State, Veterans & Military Affairs and is likely to be considered by the full Senate, which is controlled by Republicans, this week. If it passes the Senate, it will face an unphill battle in the Democrat-controlled House. Holbert noted that in rural areas of the state, where school districts have less access to law enforcement resources, teachers and staff are hired to be armed security with no training required.
l B S
1 “That does not mean someone that is t dressed in uniform — that could be a s gym teacher, math teacher, bus driver,” m t Holbert said. “I would like to see our sheriffs develop training h programs to work with school personnel, not just “ on guns, but on emergency a response training.” Holbert added that his v bill encourages a greater m o level of training for all Holbert people who are armed in public schools, including C law enforcement and private security h p guards. R State Sen. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, opposes the legislation, s saying the answer to the possibility of gun violence in schools is not more w r guns. “I think the bill is ill-advised and I shall be voting no on it,” he said. Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock is among those in the law enforcement community who support the legislation. He said he is in favor of individual school districts, in cooperation with their communities, managing their safety and security with law enforcement. “The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has long enjoyed a very good relationship with our Douglas County School District,” Spurlock said in an email correspondence. “The school security director and staff work very closely with the sheriff ’s office as it relates to security of the schools and the protection of the students SEE GUN, P31

Meet Chocolate Lisa, creator of the Truffnie Highlands Ranch resident brings passion for food to life BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
The Truffnie: half European truffle, half all-American brownie. Lisa Hemphill thought of the concept 20 years ago while living in Michigan. She came up with the name the following year while living in New Jersey. And it all came to life nearly five years ago while living in Colorado. “I get so excited,” Hemphill, otherwise known as “Chocolate Lisa,” said as she tied a red ribbon around a rosecovered chocolate box. “I absolutely love what I do.” Hemphill, a Highlands Ranch resident, has always been a foodie. She remembers baking tiny cakes for her father in her Easy-Bake Oven as a child. When college rolled around, her parents turned down the idea of Hemphill attending culinary school. So she earned a business degree and went into corporate America, where she stayed for 20 years. But Hemphill never lost sight of her love for food. She attended the Cordon Bleu Institute in Paris and The New School in New York. Having her two children, Max, now 19, and Jacqui, 21, inspired Hemphill to switch gears and focus on her passion, as did her husband’s encouragement. Hemphill’s logo, two wings with the word Truffnies in front, represents her kids. “They complete me,” Hemphill said. “The best thing I have ever done is be a mom.” Her kids, both in college at the University of Colorado-Boulder, help their mother when they can. They visit often and help out on school breaks. During her busy season — from Christmas to Father’s Day — Hemphill spends up to 18 hours a day in her production facility at 8765 E. Orchard Road #701 in Centennial. The giant room has a welcoming store in the front and a visible kitchen with large silver mixers, ovens and refrigerators in the back.
WHERE TO FIND A TRUFFNIE Truffnie’s production facility, 8765 E. Orchard Road #701, Centennial Abloom, 9325 Dorchester St., #122, Highlands Ranch Compleat Lifestyles, 7592 S. University Blvd., Centennial Order online at truffnies.com/shop/ Save the date Owner Lisa Hemphill is hosting an open house at the Truffnie’s production facility from 4 to 7 p.m. on Feb. 9. All guests are welcome for wine, Truffnies and flowers. “Small Plates & Dainty Desserts,” a cookbook by Highlands Ranch author Barbara Stafford, also will be available for purchase. Hemphill has a seasonal staff, but one employee has been with the company since it launched. Her name is Becky Webster. “I love the energy here,” said Webster, who graduated from Johnson & Wales University. “I love our specialty product — it’s truly a Colorado product.” The Truffnie comes in 20 flavors, but there are six steady ones: English toffee, salted caramel, turtle, toasted coconut, Italian Espresso and classic original, which is dusted with gold. All flavors are crafted with dark chocolate and all-natural ingredients. Truffnies are baked fresh with no preservatives or wax. “Once you open them, the idea is to eat them,” Hemphill said. “It’s a fresh chocolate, because fresh is the best.” The bite-sized pieces have the smoothness of a truffle and the moistness of a brownie. The flavor isn’t overwhelming. “I challenge people who don’t like chocolate or truffles to try one,” Webster said. “It’s light. It’s the perfect blend.” Hemphill has weathered ups and downs in starting her Truffnie business. She had her best month last December, but she’s still working at marketing and growing her brand. “It took me a long time to realize that I am a business woman. It’s a fantastic feeling to finally own it,” she said. “I would like to settle for more.” Becky Webster, an employee, begins the Truffnie creation process by mixing dark chocolate and butter in a giant silver tub. The all-natural ingredients are then baked and sliced into small squares.
Lisa Hemphill, founder of Truffnies, a mix of a truffle and brownie, stands at the front of her production facility, which also serves as a retail store, at 8765 E. Orchard Road, #701, Greenwood Village. Hemphill opened the location last May. She previously sold her product at kiosks in Denver International Airport and at a few stores in the Denver metro area.

Big cookie goals
Girl Scouts across Colorado will be selling iconic treats through March 12 BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
One Girl Scout troop in Highlands Ranch hopes to earn enough cookie money so the five girls can do an overnight at the Great Wolf Lodge — a new indoor water park and hotel in Colorado Springs. A Northglenn Girl Scout troop will continue saving the money for a couple of years to pay for an undetermined future adventure. In Golden, one Girl Scout also plans on saving the money she earns so she will have extra money to fund her Gold Award project, which she will begin within a couple of years. A Girl Scout in Centennial, and another in Lakewood, hopes to earn enough for summer camp. One thing they all have in common, though, is that each Girl Scout is looking forward — and hoping — to sell a lot of cookies. “I like meeting all the people,” said Katie Hurley, 12, a Northglenn seventhgrader who is homeschooled. “I know I’ve made a lot of friends through cookie sales, so that’s a lot of fun.” For the 100th year, Girl Scouts across Colorado will be out-and-about in neighborhoods from Jan. 29 through March 12 selling the popular cookies. And to celebrate the centennial of cookie selling, a new cookie will be available — the S’mores cookie, a graham sandwich cookie complete with creamy chocolate and marshmallow-like filling. “I think people are really going to like them,” Hurley said, adding she always hoped there would be a S’mores cookie someday.

In fact, Hurley and the six other girls in her troop even joked about inventing a S’mores cookie last year, when troop leaders were having a hard time getting a fire going to roast the marshmallows during a three-day camping trip at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. The trip last July was paid for with money the girls earned from cookie sales. Katelyn Miller, 13, a Girl Scout who attends the eighth grade at Liberty Middle School in Centennial, has been riding horses since she was 4 years old. So the money she earns through cookie sales usually goes toward paying for a summer camp that has ties to horses and ranch work. “I’m really interested in that type of stuff,” Miller said.
But being in Girl Scouts since she was in the first grade has helped her gain leadership qualities and self-confidence, she said. “And there’s the excitement of doing new things,” she added, “but having to go out and find those opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to me.” Katie DeMink, 13, an eighth grader at Bell Middle School in Golden, went to Los Angeles for the first time in June last year. All four girls in DeMink’s troop got to go because the trip was funded through cookie sales proceeds. They saw the Hollywood Sign and Walk of Fame, visited the Griffith Observatory and wandered the beach at the Santa Monica Pier. “It was so much fun exploring and getting to do what each of us wanted to do,” DeMink said. “We got to be pretty independent on that trip.” Cassidy Christian’s troop from Highlands Ranch also went to California last summer through cookie sales proceeds. But these five girls went north to San Francisco. Along with visiting Pier 39, Chinatown and Alcatraz, the girls crossed the Golden Gate Bridge to symbolically recognize their bridging from Cadettes to Senior Girl Scouts — the second to last level in Girl Scouts. Christian, 15, a ninth grader at Mountain Vista High School, enjoys selling cookies because she likes to interact with different people, she said. She especially likes going door-to-door. “Whenever it snowed, it held me back from going out to sell, but I was deter-
COLORADO GIRL SCOUTS HISTORY 1912 — Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scouts troop in Savannah, Georgia. 1917 — The first Girl Scout troop in Colorado was formed, just outside of Colorado Springs. 1925 — Girl Scouts of the USA was the first to publish a s’mores recipe, although the
popular treat was not invented by the Girl Scouts. 1927 — The recipe, called somemores by this time, was printed again in an official Girl Scouts publication. 2017 — Girl Scouts of Colorado celebrates its centennial with the new S’mores cookie.

mined to meet my goal so I eventually got there,” Christian said. “I was really excited and happy that I met my goal after spending so many hard and cold days out selling.” Her goal this year is to sell 300 packages of cookies. Last year’s top cookie seller in Colorado was 13-year-old Ciara Leal of Lakewood. The eighth grader sold 7,118 boxes. “My goal was 5,000, but when I kept selling, I knew I should keep reaching for the top,” Leal said. Booth sales are her favorite method to sell because she loves to see her customers face-to-face, she said. “I enjoy seeing the customer’s face every time I sell them cookies because they always have a smile on their face,” Leal said. “It makes me feel good knowing I made someone’s day.”
COOKIE 101 WHAT: This year’s cookie selection includes S’mores, vegan Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Dos-Si-Dos, Savannah Smiles and gluten-free Toffee-Tastic. WHEN: Girl Scouts across Colorado will be selling cookies from Jan. 29 through March 12. COST: This year, cookies cost $4 per box for all varieties except S’mores and ToffeeTastic, which are $5 per box. There are three ways to buy cookies: Purchase cookies from your home, as Girl Scouts will be out-and-about doing the traditional door-to-door sales. Girl Scouts will have booths at local businesses across Colorado. Find a nearby booth by visiting the Cookie Locator online: www. girlscoutsofcolorado.org/en/cookies/findcookies.html. The Digital Cookie allows Girl Scouts to sell their cookies online. However, this method is only offered for friends and family of the individual girls, so to purchase cookies this way, one must receive an invite from a Girl Scout.

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. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 303-952-4469.
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

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. How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and

Braille Challenge offers competition, camaraderie Contest focuses on spelling, speed, reading comprehension, accuracy BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The proctor reads the word to be spelled, uses it in a sentence for context, then repeats the word. “‘Advice,’” she reads. “‘Parents are known for giving good advice.’” She and the timekeeper chuckle softy at the example sentence as the spelling test begins. Three children, Lexi Mink, 8, Matthew Falco, 8, and Asher KorenZoloto, 9, sit at a long table, softly sounding out the word as their fingers spread across the keys of their Braille writers, searching for the correct combination of keys. “You can tell they’re enjoying it,” said Diane Covington, school and community liaison for the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton. “When you see a child get all excited with the clacking and dinging of the Braille writers all going, it’s so rewarding.” The center, in conjunction with the National Braille Institute and the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind, hosted the 2017 Braille Challenge on Jan. 26.

eye disease affecting about one in every 80,000 people. Like many children his age, he enjoys reading Harry Potter books and fighting monsters, but his mother, Hila Koren, said he’s increasingly aware that his loss of vision makes him different from his peers. “It’s really great to be in an environment where he sees he’s not alone,” she said. “This is invaluable.” Koren-Zoloto’s fast friend, 8-year-old Matthew Falco, reveled in the opportunity to grab some pizza and blow off steam after the first half of the competition. “It was so hard,” said Falco, who attends Crown Pointe Academy in Westminster. “You have to do everything so fast.” A fall from a slide ruptured a cyst on Falco’s brain at age 4, taking most of his vision. A shunt keeps enough pressure off his optic nerve to preserve some of his sight, though that could change if the shunt fails. Nevertheless, Falco’s mother, Amber, said he’s more independent than most 8-year-olds she’s known.
“He’s always saying ‘Mom, I want to cook you breakfast,’” she said. “He looks out for (his younger sisters), he’s their mediator when they fight and he wants to teach them Braille.” Like Koren-Zoloto, 8-yearold Lexi Mink, a student at Vista Peak Elementary in Aurora, has LCA. She uses a walking stick to get around but enjoys her favorite activities — swinging at recess and cheerleading after school — without it. Mink said the tests were “challenging” and she knows she’ll be able to use what she practiced there in her schoolwork. “Let’s just say that you have a little fun when you do it because you can get better and use what you learn at the Braille Challenge at school,” she said. It will take several days to tally the scores, and only 12 students from across the United States and Canada will be selected in May to advance to the national competition in California. And Mink wants to be one of them. “You have to work super hard if you’re going to win,” she said. “I want to win first place … then I would be able to go to California. And maybe Disney World.”

Let’s bring an end to unfinished business that can finish off productivity WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
H
ave you ever said to someone, “I think we have some unfinished business here?” I know I have, and I have also found myself on the receiving end of that statement. And it kind of feels uncomfortable most times, doesn’t it? It feels uncomfortable because there is unfinished business, something left to discuss or to do. And maybe that something left to say or do is difficult, emotional, or is something we would rather just put off to another time. I mean, it’s probably just too hard or hurtful or stressful to do it now isn’t it? Here are a couple of ways that we can maybe think about to make sure that we finish the business at hand instead of letting things lin-
ger too long, and maybe even make them more difficult to deal with later on. The first idea is to become really good at setting expectations for ourselves and others. If we are working on a personal project or group initiative, it is so important to the success of the project that we have a very clear expectation of what needs to be done, who needs to do it, and when it needs to be accomplished. We also should really understand what the finished project will look like, so defining success of the project early on for everyone involved is key to achieving that success and avoiding unfinished business. Where we typically find ourselves in trouble is when we lose sight of accountability. One of
the primary culprits in unfinished business, and procrastination for that matter, is lack of accountability. Whether we are holding ourselves accountable or holding others accountable, where there is a lack of accountability, we will usually find unfinished business. The same holds true for conversations, especially when those conversations could be dealing with something of a sensitive nature. We have unfinished business or incomplete conversations because we didn’t set the proper expectations for ourselves before the discussion or with the other people we are speaking with about what it is we want to make sure we SEE NORTON, P11

he number one way to combat chronic disease and dementia is by eating a plant-based Mediterranean diet with the liberal use of healthy fat. Yes, eat more veggies and good fat! This may come as a surprise to you, as this goes against the grain of 30 years of low-fat nutrition guidelines in this country. We’ve had it wrong and it is time to make it right to reclaim vibrant health as nature intended. From an evolutionary standpoint, Homo sapiens emerged about 2 million years ago and until the agricultural revolution, 10,000 years ago, we were all hunter-gatherers. Our ancient ancestors walked five to 10 miles every day just to be able to eat. Similar to the

Mediterranean style of eating, their diet consisted of mostly plants, nuts, seeds, fish and meats. Fat was the most desirable food because of its calorie density and power to satisfy. What our ancestors didn’t know is that fat is essential for better mood, skin, hair, nails and to prevent dementia, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Here’s the skinny on fat. Healthy fats include unrefined animal and plant fats from wild fatty fish like salmon, trout, mackerel and sardines, grass-fed beef and butter, pasture-raised chicken and eggs, avocados, olives, nuts and coconut oil.

to include a higher proportion of saturated and monounsaturated fats plus contain higher amounts of the essential omega-3 fats. These fats help prevent disease and make our brains happier and smarter. The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fatty fish every week. Unhealthy fats are trans fats (hydrogenated found in margarine and processed foods) and refined oils like soy, corn, cottonseed, safflower and sunflower and canola oil. These fats are high in omega-6 fats, also an essential fat because our bodies can’t make them. The problem occurs because these fats tend to be consumed in large amounts and are highly susceptible to oxidation (damage) during processing which makes them unhealthy fats that hurt the body. It is the overconsumption of these fats that increase the risk of heart disease and obesity and produce inflammation, the root cause of most diseases. Radically reduce the intake of these fats to boost the absorption of the anti-inflammatory omega-3s. Fat is essential for the proper function of the body. In addition to providing long-lasting satisfaction and reducing cravings, fat is needed to absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. • Vitamin A keeps eyes healthy and promotes good vision. • Vitamin D is a powerful modulator of the immune system and promotes proper calcium absorption. • Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radical damage. • Vitamin K promotes proper calcium metabolism and blood clotting.

believe that the other party completely heard what we were trying to say. Or, we imagine that things are much better or worse than they really are. More unfinished business. So what if in the beginning of every conversation we made sure that we took just a few minutes to outline what it is we want to talk about? And if we know it’s going to be a touchy or sensitive topic, set the expectation in the beginning that it will be that way. Most times people will be thinking the same
thing but they are just afraid to say it or bring it up. So if you set the proper expectation, maybe ask permission to talk about the topic before you just jump into it, the other person or group will probably feel relieved that the subject will be included. This will go such a long way toward finishing any unfinished business and avoid leaving things unsaid that needed to be said. How about you? Is there some unfinished business hanging out there for you that needs to be addressed? If

brane surrounding each of our 60-70 trillion cells. Having a flexible fat membrane rich in omega-3s allows nutrients to come in and waste products to be removed easily from each cell for optimal function. By reducing carbohydrate intake and eating more fats, insulin sensitivity is improved, resulting in a higher metabolism, more energy and reduced inflammation. Fat is especially important for brain and nerve function. Did you know you are a “fat head”?! It’s a compliment, with 60-70% of the brain being made of fat! It also creates the myelin sheath that surrounds and insulates nerve cells. This supports better and quicker communication of the nervous system which controls every thought and move we make. If you want to feel better, have more energy, lose weight, live independently and protect against cognitive decline, eating more healthy fat is where it is at. The American Journal of Clinical nutrition recommends 50 grams of carbohydrate a day is ideal for fat loss.

‘In a tank, the world just goes away’ ‘Floating’ offers an escape from the frenzied pace of everyday life BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In an age in which people can’t put down their smartphones long enough to go to the bathroom, it’s difficult to picture being removed from the constant stimulation of ringtones, push notifications and 24-hour news. But picture a place completely removed from the constant noises and lights we take for granted. Imagine a space filled with complete darkness, devoid of sound, free from gravity. Steve Skalkowski has four of them. Skalkowski owns and operates Astral Float Spa in Parker. The shop’s unassuming storefront belies the vast expanses of time and space Skalkowski’s clients traverse within. Inside, four “float tanks,” also called “pods,” “isolation tanks,” or “sensory-deprivation pods,” await Skalkowski’s clients, each in its own room. Taking your body out of the equation The soundproof, completely dark chambers are filled with skintemperature water, infused with 850 pounds of salt. The salt and temperature of the water allow the body to float evenly, almost without feeling the water on the skin. The darkness and soundproofing eliminate all visual and aural stimuli, letting the mind turn inward. “This takes your body out of the equation,” Skalkowski says. “You’re put in a tank, the world just goes away. You kind of become a floating ball of consciousness” Sensory-deprivation tanks were invented in 1954 by physician and psychoanalyst John Lilly, who gained notoriety experimenting with mind-altering substances and techniques in the 1960s. Isolation tanks aren’t new, but floating is experiencing a recent surge in popularity across the United States Isolation tanks have even made inroads in pop culture, referenced in the 1980s film “Altered States” and most recently in the Netflix series “Stranger Things” as a tool that enhances one character’s telekinetic power. Some say the experience gives them a psychedelic or out of body experience, others use the pods for SEE SENSORY, P13

meditation or relaxation. But even people not looking to bend their minds like athletes and doctors have been using the tanks to improve their performance and visualize their goals. Skalkowski says he hasn’t had any out of body experiences, but he’s seen the effects floating has on his clients. One customer told him she stopped smoking after a single float. Others tell him of relief from anxiety and depression, an experience he shares. One client came out bawling. “He said he loved the experience, but he had something he needed to deal with,” Skalkowski says. “These tanks can dredge up memories.” A whole body experience Fuyiu Yip, a Lone Tree acupuncturist and regular at Astral Float, says she first heard about floating as a treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but a client’s account of her own experience inspired her to take the salty plunge. A fast convert, Yip says her monthly, two-hour sessions keep her life in balance. “My life is so active, I’m a pretty ‘gogo-go’ person, it’s hard for me to pause sometimes,” Yip says. “This is a true pause.” Yip likens the experience to the “yin-yang” concept in Chinese medicine. The yang symbolizes the “go-go-go” energy needed to achieve goals and be productive while the yin
Denver Broncos wide receiver Kalif Raymond, left, and defensive end Adam Gotsis, right, pose with Astral Float Spa owner Steve Skalkowski after the players’ float sessions in November. Raymond says he began floating this season to “completely relax his entire body” and that focusing his mind in the tank translates to better performance on the field. COURTESY OF ASTRAL FLOAT SPA’S FACEBOOK PAGE represents the “blissful, nighttime” energy necessary for rejuvenation and maintaining peace of mind. “People aren’t aware of how much we need that environment to keep balance,” she says. “We need to find ways to counteract the buzzes and the beeps and the cellphones… It’s a mind and whole body experience.” Another frequent floater who says floating relaxes his “whole body” is Denver Broncos wide receiver Kalif Raymond. “I come out feeling so fresh, so new, so relaxed,” Raymond says.
The rookie receiver and kick returner says he was researching ways to improve his game, and floating fit the bill. His first float was after the fourth or fifth game of the season, and he quickly added a weekly 90-minute session to his training routine. Raymond says the relaxation he finds in the tanks is a perfect neutralizer for the physical and mental toll of workouts and drills. He also usually sees green orbs drifting in front of him in the darkness, though he’s more focused on visualizing success on the gridiron.

“The tanks give you what you need” Sean Kearney believes his weekly 90-minute sessions help his professional performance, but in a different type of field. A daily meditator and producer with an independent media firm in Castle Rock, Kearney began floating 10 years ago to “push [his] brain and thinking into a completely different place.” After seeing the benefits floating firsthand, Kearney began recommending it to clients, whether they’re seeking a meditative experience, relaxation or improved performance in their work. They may sometimes take a skeptical tone, Kearney says, but he thinks they, and society as a whole, will come around. “I think it’s the same thing as exercising regularly. You didn’t see people out jogging or going to the gym, it wasn’t that acceptable when I was a kid,” he says. “I think this is in that same category.” While float spa entrepreneurs undoubtedly share Kearney’s hope that the practice will become as commonplace as a workout, Skalkowski would like to point out that it isn’t as strenuous. “You just float, it’s not a skill,” he says. “The tanks give you what you need.”

Englewood art gallery lets there be lights Museum of Outdoor Arts hosts intriguing Lumonics show BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“The whole idea here is to take light and make it into a shape that not only solidifies the light, but the life the light touches.” — Mel Tanner. An hour spent in the Museum of Outdoor Arts’ current show in the Englewood Civic Center, “Lumonics Then & Now: A Retrospective of LightBased Sculpture by Dorothy and Mel Tanner,” is like a mini-vacation, with the desired recharge felt when you reenter the real world. Despite brilliant color, the cumulative effect is remarkably calming and restful. Walk through the double gallery doors, shielded by blown-up photographs of Tanner art, into a magic surround. The glowing exhibit includes examples of work from the long, rewarding careers of two artists
IF YOU GO THE MUSEUM OUTDOOR ARTS Indoor Gallery is on the second level of the Englewood City Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Admission is free. Hours: Tuesdays to Thursdays: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Fridays: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturdays: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 306-8060444, MOAonline.org. who early on realized the many possibilities of plexiglass, combined with light and color. Large windows at the far end are also blocked with blown up show photos by Heather Longway, which add to the glow. “Lumonics Then & Now” runs through March 24. Walls on either side are filled with a combination of luminous flat wall pieces, mostly Mel’s, and equally brilliant three dimensional works, mainly by Dorothy. In the White Gallery, a projection, art pieces and music are background for an audio of Dorothy Tanner’s voice, talking about their life and art. (She now lives in the Denver area and
at 94 is still creating, with support by longtime co-worker Marc Billard, who has the know-how to carry out her ideas, although she is hindered by macular degeneration, according to Tim Vacca of MOA.) The Tanners met at the Brooklyn Art Museum when young and opened the co-op Granite Gallery on 57th Street in New York in 1963. There, they started doing light art, launching long, active careers. They traveled to Europe, then San Francisco, where Mel had an experience, involving a flash of light off an airplane, that changed their direction. “Lumonics came to be necessary for us to be doing — to raise consciousness. Mel and I had changed,” Dorothy said. In 1969, the Tanners established a studio in Miami, which involved a pair of warehouse spaces. “There was a black room,” she said in the audio, “where we would bring up sound and lights on the first piece, and the second piece was meditational, classical, followed by the upbeat …” The
successful Florida operation brought in outside acts as the light/sound environment developed. Mel Tanner died in 1993. The Lumonics Light and Sound Gallery, at 800 E. 73rd Ave. in Adams County, now eight years old, carries on that tradition, with new sculptures. In Florida, the Tanners worked with psychiatrists in this “healing shelter,” as Dorothy called it, and were able to help people with PTSD issues. “It kept us going,” she said. “Our friends in the ‘60s were 20 years younger and there were other ways of being, living…” She speaks of fresh music and a 30-foot-high wall for projected images. The Tanners created shapes that incorporated light and used classical music as well as contemporary. “Young people tuned in.” People of all ages will tune in to this blend of color, light and music at the Museum Outdoor Arts. Allow time to relax in the Sound Gallery at the far back edge, where images and music surround a visitor who can sit and soak it all in.

Ballet MasterWorks program offers three productions Orchestra will accompany dancers in shows staged at Ellie Caulkins Opera House
IF YOU GO
BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
BALLET MASTERWORKS will be presented Feb. 17 to 26 by the Colorado Ballet at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 17, 18, 24, 25; 2 p.m. on Feb. 18, 19, 26. Tickets: $30 to $155: coloradoballet.org. or call 303-8378888, ext. 2.
Three master ballet works, accompanied by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra, will be staged at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver from Feb. 17-26. (Performances will be preceded by the Firebird Gala, also at the Ellie, at 6 p.m. on Feb. 6 — information and tickets: coloradoballet.org/gala.) Ballet MasterWorks is presented every two years to highlight the skills of the various dancers, alternating with a collection of contemporary works. The 2017 production includes “Firebird,” choreographed to Igor Stravinsky’s “Firebird Ballet” by RussianAmerican dancer Yuri Possokhov. He was originally with the Bolshoi and has been with San Francisco Ballet since 1994, where he was principal dancer until 2006 and since then has been choreographer-in-residence. His “Firebird” premiered with the Oregon Ballet Theatre in 2004 in Portland, based on Russian folklore, and tells of a beautiful princess, rescued by a magical bird with dazzling feathers — and by heroic Prince Ivan.
first time Colorado Ballet has presented a Kylian ballet. Kylian started training with the Prague National Conservatory at age 9, after seeing a performance that inspired him, then got a scholarship to the School of the Royal Ballet in London. He worked with Stuttgart Ballet and directed the Nederlands Dance Theatre before starting a chamber company for dancers over 40, according to online information. Artistic director Gil Boggs said Ballet MasterWorks is the dancers’ favorite production of the year artistically. In another Colorado Ballet matter, a note from the company’s office said that the March 31 through April 2 performance of “The Little Mermaid” at Gates Concert Hall is completely sold out. It features original music by composer Michael Moricz and choreography by Tony Award winner Lynne Taylor Corbett, who is a Littleton High School graduate.
Principal Dancer Maria Mosina is airborne in “The Firebird” to music by Stravinsky in Colorado Ballet‘s “Masterworks” program at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver. Mosina, who has had a long career with Colorado Ballet, plans to retire after this season.

‘Burn This’ on Lakewood stage shouldn’t be missed 30-year-old drama has power despite changes in society BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As lights go up on “Burn This” at Lakewood’s Edge Theater, Anna (Karen Slack) sits on a sofa, her expressive face stunned by sadness. It’s late. Grief-stricken Anna and Larry have recently returned from the funeral of their third roommate, Robbie, who

drowned in a boating accident with his lover. Robbie was Anna’s dance partner and best friend. She is disgusted with his family — “They had never seen him dance, didn’t know he was gay … and it was a hideous casket — I danced with him for three years, they didn’t even know him!” she tells Larry (Drew Horwitz), who lends a note of humor throughout this heavy production with sardonic comments. “Burn This” by Lanford Wilson premiered off-Broadway in 1987 and moved to Broadway in 1988. Could be happening today, although acceptance for gays has increased. Robbie “had to sneak to dance when living at home,” but could achieve in the city, dancing with Anna. He was encouraging her to become a choreographer. (The family thought she was the girlfriend.) She recalls a terrifying night at the family home, spent in a room where butterflies were pinned to the wall — and started fluttering … She had to get out of there — and did, with some help from Robbie’s relatives. Anna’s lover, Burton (John Jankow), a nice, rich screenwriter, appears and tries to console her, while talking about his new project, interspersed with comments such as “Beautiful writing is anathema to a script.” Noise in the hall is followed by insistent pounding on the door — enter Pale (an astonishing William Hahn), Robbie’s older brother, who says “Did

He finds something to drink, says he feels like he’s falling out of an airplane, bursts into tears … Attraction happens. “I rescued you from the butterflies,” he reminds her. Days go by, Anna choreographs a new dance, Burton has a new script, Larry continues with funny observations, Pale reappears and the play
LANFORD WILSON (1937-2011) was a major American playwright who wrote about relationships and often about gay characters. “Burn This” was a successful play for him, as was “Talley’s Folly,” which won the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. He began writing plays while attending the University of Chicago and co-founded Circle Repertory Theatre offBroadway, with director Marshall Mason and other friends. He remained involved with it until it closed in 1996. He greatly admired the plays by Russian writer Anton Chekhov, learning Russian to translate them. He was named a Master American Dramatist by PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater. draws to an inevitable conclusion. This is a don’t-miss performance, beautifully choreographed by fine director Warren Sherrill, with a pair of Denver’s strongest actors: Slack and Hahn.

Future of self-driving vehicles unfolds in Littleton At new Lockheed Martin facility, autonomous military and commercial vehicles are developed BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Tucked away in an industrial area of Littleton, engineers and programmers are helping build self-driving systems for vehicles ranging from giant mining dump trucks to unmanned aircraft. Lockheed Martin recently opened its new Autonomous Systems facility on Southpark Way and hosted a grand-opening ceremony on Jan. 25. At a demonstration for guests at the ceremony, a small six-wheeled vehicle, painted desert tan, followed engineer Keith Massie around the parking lot. The Squad Mission Support System, as it’s called, has already been fielded in Afghanistan, said Bill Severson, part of the team that developed it. It helps infantry troops lighten their heavy load without requiring much attention from them. “Soldiers on the ground have a lot of stuff to carry and a lot of ground to cover,” he said.
The Squad Mission Support System, a self-driving military vehicle developed by Lockheed Martin’s Autonomous Systems division, travels around a parking lot with no driver aboard on Jan. 25. Lockheed employees at the Southpark Way facility are developing software for autonomous systems for military and industrial applications. KYLE HARDING
Massie got the vehicle moving with an Xbox controller — troops in the field seem to prefer that to more expensive controllers, Severson said. After it followed Massie in a loop of the parking lot, it retraced its steps
on its own. Scott Greene, vice president of program management at Lockheed’s Missiles and Fire Control division, said the systems help take the individual out of mundane tasks, allow-
ing them to focus on more complex jobs. Lockheed’s research into automation dates back to the 1970s. “This technology is something we’ve been involved with for many years,” said Rick Edwards, executive vice president of Missiles and Fire Control. Lockheed Martin is an aerospace and defense firm headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland. Its Space Systems division is located at 12257 S. Wadsworth Blvd. in south Jefferson County. The company’s Autonomous Systems division grew out of PercepTek, a small Littleton-based firm Lockheed bought in 2007. Software systems are developed at the Littleton location, while hardware is developed at a Lockheed facility in Texas. Software developed by Autonomous Systems has been put into practice not only in the battlefields of Afghanistan, but in railyards in the U.S., shuttling workers across the jobsite in a modified ATV, and mines in Australia, where massive trucks drive themselves in an everchanging environment. Erik Mitisek, chief innovation officer for the state, praised the advancements being made at the facility. “Innovation is the brand of Colorado,” he said.

Something needs to be done about lopsided scores
V
Arapahoe’s Maddie Matthews drives around a screen set by Ellie Kearby during the Warriors’ Centennial League game on Jan. 25 at Overland. Matthews scored 16 points in the game and Arapahoe jumped to an early lead which it held the entire way in a 66-54 victory. JIM BENTON
Arapahoe scores early, often from afar Warriors notch 66-54 victory against Overland in league contest BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
There is seldom a 3-point attempt the Arapahoe girls basketball team skips. Arapahoe takes an average of 18.1 attempts per game from beyond the 19-foot-9-inch line, and the Warriors made enough 3-pointers to run out to an early lead in a 66-54 Centennial League victory over Overland on Jan. 25. “A major part of our offense is penetrating and kicking it out,” senior Maddie Matthews said. “We trust everybody to hit threes. We’re all good shooters. We encourage everybody to shoot the ball. Our best offense is when we’re dribbling and driving,
kicking it out, shooting and finishing at the basket as well.”
anna Kearby finished with 10 points for the Warriors.
Key moments Arapahoe made five 3-point shots in the first quarter to take a 19-11 lead that swelled to 15 points late in the second period. The Warriors led by as many as 18 points in the second half, and the closest the Trailblazers could come was the final score. The Warriors make an average of 5.1 3-point baskets per game and Arapahoe’s first period surge of 3-pointers were the only ones made during the Overland game as the team was content to score inside for most of the second half.
They said it “Three-pointers are part of our game but we don’t always do it,” Arapahoe Jerry Knafelc said. “We just take them in the flow of our offense. Those all look great if they are going in, but if there not going in then you’re in a battle. It’s on the players. If they are comfortable when they catch ball and want to shoot it and if it’s in the flow of the offense, then they can shoot it.” Matthews says good shooting is contagious. “Some days we definitely struggle on the perimeter but our guards and posts can finish inside and we definitely have good speed and we’re very athletic,” she said. “We’re a good shooting team and if we struggle with that, once we hit them, we get going and it picks up our energy and
Key players/statistics Macy Ziegler, the 5-foot-3 senior who leads the team in scoring for the season, scored the Warriors’ first six points on two 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 18 points. Matthews added 16 points and her nine rebounds led both teams. Eli-

ista PEAK’s girls basketball team hopefully got the attention of the Colorado High School Activities Association’s basketball committee. The Aurora school whipped Aurora OVERTIME Central 90-4 on Jan. 20, which brought further attention to the possibility of a mercy rule in high school basketball. The 86-point win didn’t do either team any good, especially for a winless Aurora Jim Benton Central squad that has been beaten by an average of 51.3 points a game this season. Numerous coaches and administrators do not want a mercy rule instituted, but there are people lined up to support the introduction of one. Basketball is the only team sport that doesn’t have one. I subscribe to arguments on both sides, so maybe some kind of compromise can be reached. For instance, ask coaches to mutually agree to use the mercy rule when a 40-point differential is reached in the final quarter. Even better, if just one of the coaches in a lopsided game agrees to implement the mercy rule, let the running clock begin. In October, CHSAA’s board of directors passed off to the basketball committee a proposal to adopt a mercy rule for the current season. Schools and leagues wanted to have an input in the decision either via the basketball committee or the legislative council, which has to approve basketball committee reports. So the basketball committee is scheduled to meet Feb. 2 and the mercy rule is on the agenda. The proposed mercy rule would have produced a running clock with a 40-point lead in the fourth quarter. This season, there have been many lopsided scores around the state, with several involving area teams. Some of the area blowout boys scores included Jefferson’s 65-point loss and a 61-point Lutheran win. Cherry Creek’s girls rolled to a 63-point conquest and Arapahoe recorded a 62-point victory. Other uneven boys scores from the area include ThunderRidge’s 105-46 romp over Castle View, Kennedy’s 82-27 win over Arvada and Standley Lake’s 99-43 win over Thornton. Ralston Valley downed Arvada West 84-23 in girls action and Highlands Ranch rolled to an 86-27 victory over Heritage. SEE BENTON, P24

helped us start fast against Overland. Knafelc was pleased with Arapahoe’s performance against Overland. “We came out and did the things we wanted to do,” Knafelc said. “We let them (Trailblazers) do some of things they wanted to do, more than I wanted to let them do that, but our girls know we can be better.“ Arapahoe has started the second round of Centennial League play and improved play could help the Warriors remain among the top three teams in the conference. “Our league is tougher right now than it’s been in the past six seasons,” Knafelc said. “It’s more balanced throughout. You have to play good every night. That’s good for everybody in the league. That will benefit all our teams hopefully down the road in the playoffs.”
Shortage of officials On Saturday, Jan. 28, all boys and girls basketball teams played rescheduled games in the Continental League. That departed from the usual Tuesday and Friday games. League teams have and will play Wednesday games. CHSAA asked schools to alter schedules in order to spread games out between Monday and Saturday in order to help ease the burden of finding officials to call games. Centennial League, Jefferson County and Adams 5 schools have also spread out games during the week.
Macy Ziegler of Arapahoe goes up for a layup during the Warriors’ 6654 Centennial League triumph over Overland on Jan. 25. Ziegler, Arapahoe’s leading scorer this season, scored 18 points in the victory. JIM BENTON Going forward Arapahoe, 5-2 in the league and 11-5 overall after the win over Overland, hosts Eaglecrest on Feb. 4.
Help wanted Help-wanted signs for coaches are showing up at schools around the state. Brian Lamb has stepped down as Rock Canyon’s football coach. He wants to take time off from football coaching although he is currently having fun as the Jaguars’ sophomore boys basketball coach. In four seasons as Rock Canyon’s head football coach, the Jaguars compiled a 15-25-0 record with Lamb at the helm. Castle View is looking for a girls softball coach to replace Cory Williams, who compiled a 16-24-1 record in two seasons. Williams has moved across town to be an assistant Douglas County softball coach. Streak ends Ponderosa’s wrestling team had not
lost a league dual match since 1994, but the streak came to an end Jan. 26 when Castle View forfeited two matches but had six pins to post a 42-33 victory over the Mustangs. That ended an estimated streak of 159 consecutive league dual meet victories for the Mustangs, who have won 22 straight Continental League titles. Castle View, however, could claim this season’s league title with a win in one of its final two league dual meets against Legend and Highlands Ranch. “Everybody has been telling me that it was a big win,” Castle View coach Ike Anderson said. “When I forfeited two matches and had a freshman wrestling in another, I knew our light weights were pretty strong and said we have to get as many points as we can in those matches.” Pair honored CHSAA Associate Commissioner Tom Robinson and longtime basketball coach Dick Katte, now a liaison between CHSAA and the coaches association, will be honored by the National Federation of State High School Associations. The awards will be presented July 1 at the NFHS summer meetings in Providence, Rhode Island. A NFHS citation is one of the most highly regarded achievements in high school athletics.

Local curling team is ready to throw stones Foursome qualifies for nationals with strong showing in Minnesota BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Josh Chetwynd grew up playing baseball but he’s now a member of Colorado’s best curling team. “I played Division I college baseball at Northwestern University in the Big 10,” said Chetwynd. “After that I played a year of independent minor league baseball in the Frontier League. I happened to be born in England even though I grew up in the U.S. I played for Great Britain’s national baseball team for 10 years. “I played baseball for a very long time. I had some knee issues. I was a catcher so I was looking for sort of a lifetime sport that I could play into my older age. Right around the time I started that inquiry the Denver Curling Center opened up.” Chetwynd, a 45-year-old writer and author who lives in Denver, and three of his cohorts from the Denver Curling Club located at 14100 W. Seventh Ave. in Golden will be the first team in 20 years to represent Colorado at the USA Men’s National Curling Championships Feb. 11-18 in Everett, Washington, at the Xfinity Arena. The team includes Darryl Sobering is the skip of Team Sobering which qualified for the nationals during the U.S. Men’s Challenge Round Jan. 5-8 in Blaine, Minnesota, by winning five straight games after losing the first two in the triple elimination event. Other team members include the lead Chetwynd, the second Evan Jaffe and third Aaron Johnston. Jaffe, a 30-year-old Sedalia resident and software designer, went to college in Hastings, Nebraska, but couldn’t pursue his interest in curling. “There wasn’t an opportunity,” he said. “I moved back to Denver after college and had an interest in it and felt like doing it one day. Curling appealed to me because it’s a huge team sport and you heavily rely on other people. And also it is the strategy of

The way every game sets up is completely different.” Johnston, 24, lives in Greenwood Village and is a civil engineer. He was introduced to curling during a gym class field trip when he was a fifthgrader in Wisconsin. “I picked it up at a young age and it was just something I stuck with because I was pretty decent,” said Johnston. “Through high school I was fortunate enough to win two state championships in curling and continued on through college and do it here through college. I went to Marquette University. “You can curl here in Denver, which is kind of unique because the nearest curling facility is over 700 miles away in Bismarck, North Dakota. So we’re kind of the Galapagos Islands of curling out here.” Curling is predominately a Midwestern sport, but Team Sobering is the eighth-ranked team in the nation. “We couldn’t be prouder of Darryl and his team,” said Denver Curling president Phil Moir. “They’ve been

Sobering, a 40-year-old real estate broker who is a Broomfield resident, claims his team will probably be overlooked at the nationals. SEE CURLING, P29

CURLING FROM PAGE 25
“We have been the underdog all year in most of the binspiels we have played and fared very well,” said Sobering. “So I am hoping for more of the same. I feel it is about mindset and who is playing well that week. So if we keep this mindset we have now we will do great.” Chetwynd claims teamwork can pay dividends. “We were unheralded, we weren’t expected to earn one of the four spots in nationals,” he said. “We played as a team together, we mastered our skills, it didn’t matter who we were playing
because we performed up to our abilities. What I love about curling is that it is similar to baseball and similar to all sports. It is a real team game. What is unique about curling that is different from baseball, football and basketball, there is more emphasis on your team’s own performance. “You are impacted by the performance of the other team in the way they throw the rocks and where they place them but they are not impacting my throw. That goes to a sport more like golf where you are really playing more against yourself. What is different about this than golf is your team is playing against itself, not just you individually as the thrower but your four guys are all playing against themselves.”
CURLING TERMS TO KNOW Bonspiel: A tournament in which curlers compete. Throwing rocks: Each player on the team throws two stones in each end. An end is similar to an inning in baseball. Each team throws eight stones in an end. Players alternate throwing with the player on the other team who plays the same position.
Strategy: Generally the skip determines a rink’s strategy. During the game, the skip stands at one sheet and tells the other three players where they should place their sheets.
Members of the team Lead: The lead throws the first two rocks of the end and then sweeps the next six. The lead must be very good at throwing guards and a strong sweeper.
Guard: A stone that is placed in a position so it may protect another stone.
Second: The second throws the third and fourth stones of the end and should be strong at playing takeouts. The second sweeps the first two stones and then the final four of the end.
Hammer: Last rock in an end.
Curling rocks: When a rock is thrown down the ice, it will curl or bend one way or another.
House: Also known as the rings. This is the name of the giant bull’s-eye at either end of the ice.
End: An end is like an inning in a baseball game. A curling game has either eight or 10 ends.
Hurry hard: A directive given to sweepers by the skip or third to begin sweeping.
Sweeping: Sweeping makes a rock curl less and travel farther. Keeping score: Once all 16 rocks have been thrown, the score for that end is counted based on the final positions of the stones in the house (the group of circles on the ice that looks like a bull’s eye). Only one team can score in an end. A team scores one point for every rock that it has closer to the center of the house than the other team.
Rock: Also known as a stone, the 44-pound granite playing utensil that a curler delivers. Peel: A shot designed to remove a guard. Slider: The sole of one of your curling shoes that helps a curler move or slide along the ice. Takeout: Removal of a stone from the playing area by hitting it with another stone. Weight: The amount of force used to deliver a stone.
Third: The third or mate or vice throws the fifth and sixth rocks and must be good at all shots. It is the third’s job to set up the shots that will be thrown by the skip. The third also posts the score at the conclusion of the end. Skip: The skip is the captain and decides the strategy. The skip also delivers the last two shots of the end and must be good at all types of shots. The skip is the only one who doesn’t regularly sweep stones.
