Jeffco talks possible school closures, program cuts School district is building an online tool to engage community in discussion BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the failure of ballot measures 3A and 3B — the mill levy override and bond package the Jefferson County Board of Education presented to voters Nov. 8 — the school district wants to know what the community is willing to give up to help the district find money to support its top priority of increasing teacher compensation to retain the best educators. The board indicated at its Dec. 1 meeting that some ways to do that are closing or consolidating schools and cutting programs including athletics and the arts. “I know that the closure discussion is a really touchy and emotional issue, so I hesitate to bring it up,” board member Brad Rupert said. “I’m not sure we’re ready to open up the can of worms about the communities that will be affected.” The $33 million mill levy override would have been an ongoing increase to the district’s tax revenue, with the money going toward attracting and retaining teachers. With voters rejecting the 3A mill levy override 51.9 to 48.1 percent, the district now needs to find money from elsewhere in the budget to accomplish its goal of raising teacher salaries to keep high-quality teachers. Without that money — and the $535 million the bond would have generated to repair and maintain aging school buildings — the district must reallocate money in its budget. But before deciding on any measures, it will launch an online interactive budget tool to bring the community into the discussion of the 2017-18 budget development process.

Early figures show slight enrollment decrease in Jeffco

MY NAME IS

LAUREN LETZSCH

Junior elite gymnast studies in online program Full-time student/gymnast I am homeschooled at a gymnastics gym called Tigar. Tigar started as a co-op program, so we use Colorado Connections Academy — it’s an online homeschool program for kindergarten through your senior year of high school. It’s an amazing school because it can accommodate my schooling needs and my gymnastics training. For example, I practice (gymnastics) from 7 a.m. to 11, then I go back to practice at 2:30 until 5:30 p.m. Colorado Connections Academy arranges my schedule so I can finish school on time, just like everyone else. After high school, I want to attend the University of Utah. Their gymnastics program has been trying to recruit me since I was 9. I went to a gymnastics training camp sponsored by

the school, and since then, that’s the school my heart has been set on. About me I’ve lived in Golden my whole life. I like the mountains, and I like going into downtown Golden and walking along Clear Creek. I am 13 and I’m in the eighth grade. My favorite subject is either math or history because you get to learn a lot of different things. I also like to do crafts — I make things out of duct tape. I make wallets a lot, and right now, I’m working on a little organizer made from a cardboard box and duct tape. Artistic dance, powerful tumbling I started mommy-and-me gymnastics classes when I was 2½. I liked them, but when I turned 5, I had to move to another gym with a competitive program so I could compete. I started competing when I was 6. I’m now junior elite. At the level I’m at, I don’t compete as often as I used to. But this season, I’ll compete in Las Vegas, Texas, Chicago and California.

new friends from all over the U.S. at the competitions. If you have suggestions for My Name Is..., contact Christy Steadman at csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

The Jeffco Public Schools 2016-17 enrollment figures show enrollment has decreased slightly since last year. The 2016-17 enrollment in Jeffco Public Schools is 86,361 students, a decrease of 370 students from the previous year. Last year saw an increase of 157 students for the school district. These numbers include students in facilities and may be adjusted based on the outcome of review by the Colorado Department of Education. “Student populations ebb and flow in our district,” said Superintendent Dan McMinimee. “Right now the increased housing costs on the east side of the district are likely causing lower enrollments, while in the northwest large housing developments are causing overcrowding. We’ll continue to allocate our limited resources the best we can to carry on our tradition of excellence.” The last year the district saw a decline in enrollment was in 2012-13, when population dropped 251 students from 85,793 to 85,542. The largest increase over the past 10 years was in 2014-15 when the student population grew from 86,011 to 86,574 — an increase of 563 students. The 10-year trend for the district is flat. The student population in 2005-06 was 86,375.

SCHOOL: Jeffco board seeks citizen input following ballot measure failures FROM PAGE 1

The tool — expected to be ready in January — will include a sliding scale where residents can see how much money would be saved by closing a school, adjusting the transportation schedule or cutting programs. District staff said the goal of the tool is to see what tradeoff the Jeffco community is willing to make to invest in teachers. “This is a community engagement tool that is really effective for us to listen to what our communities priorities and values are,” board mem-

ber Amanda Stevens said. The school board, at its Nov. 17 meeting, outlined increasing teacher compensation as a number one priority in the new budget. Early this year, in the 2016 facility master plan, the district proposed closing Long View High School in Lakewood and seven elementary schools — Glennon Heights, Patterson and Stober in Lakewood, Pleasant View in Golden, Campbell and Little in Arvada, and Kullerstrand in Wheat Ridge. The district hoped to save money by consolidating the smaller schools

into larger ones. According to Superintendent Dan McMinimee, those school closures did not happen because of residents’ outcry that said they value neighborhood schools. But school closures and consolidations are once again on the table as a way to save money. “I don’t think we’re prepared to step out with the facility master plan yet,” McMinimee said at the Dec. 1 board meeting, “but we are looking at what it would look like if we did close a school.” Stevens is worried about the

timeline of these decisions. “I want to know that the timeline builds in a process for caring for communities during that transition,” she said. “April does not leave enough time to care for a community.” The district hopes the interactive online tool will help inform the board about direction. Board member Ali Lasell directed staff to be very specific when building the tool. “Don’t just say programming,” Lasell said. “I want to identify that programming. They need to be defined so

our residents know what they are putting above something else.” In addition to the interactive tool, the board also talked about utilizing an online questionnaire, telephone town halls and forums as ways to engage with the community during the decision-making process. “We owe it to 86,000 students and the future of Jeffco,” Stevens said, “that financially responsible decisions are made carefully, quickly, collaboratively and build all the time needed to care for communities in transition.”

The Trend Continues: Winter May Be the Easiest Time to Sell a Home

It was true for the last two winters and it remains true for this coming winter, too — winter is a great time to put your home on the REAL ESTATE market. Buyer activity is high, and you’ll TODAY be competing with fewer other listings. The two charts at right tell the story. Yes, real estate is a seasonal business with more homes selling in the spring and summer, but it is actually easier to sell a home in the By JIM SMITH, winter. Realtor® What continues to impress me is how, as shown in the first chart, the number of sold listings keeps creeping higher even as the number of active listings keeps falling. As I write this, REcolorado is showing 899 active listings in Jeffco, but 1,193 listings are under contract, so it’s clear that December and January figures will continue the trend shown in the chart. The second chart shows two other metrics which support my contention that this is a good time to list a home in Jefferson County (and elsewhere in the metro area). When you see listings selling close to or above their listing price, you know that there is a lot of

competition for the active listings, and therefore a lot of disappointed buyers who will still be looking at each new listing that comes along. The other indicator is Days on Market. In Jefferson County, the median time it took to go under contract did not rise above 20 days during the last two winters and probably won’t do so this coming winter either. One statistic you won’t find on the MLS is how many sales were contingent on the sale of the buyer’s current home. I can tell you from my own experience that this is more common now than you might think. As a listing agent myself, I do not rule out contingent contracts when they offer the best bot-

tom line. By being smart about the contingency, I have found it easier to justify a contingency in a seller’s market than in a “normal” market, even in competition with non-contingent offers that didn’t have as high a bottom line. In fact, a contingent buyer might offer you a better price for your home

to make up for the perceived negative of being a contingent offer. If you’re a buyer worried about having to submit a contingent offer, call me. Not only have I sold my listings to buyers with contingencies, I have successfully represented buyers in getting contingent offers accepted.

Millennials Want to Buy But Think It’s Harder Than It Is At www.JimSmithColumns.com I have a link for an infographic with tons of insights about buyers under 35 and why they are not buying homes in the numbers that the older population did when they were under 35. Here are some key survey results from that infographic that might surprise you.  Millennials associate owning a home with the American dream more than any other generation.  33% of millennials expect to buy a home within the next 2 years.  Only 34.7% of those under 35 currently own a home, down 50% from before.  91% of millennials report that they plan to own a home “some day.”  Only 38% of millennials have more than

$1,000 in savings.  Median age for getting married is at a record high (29 for men, 27 for women), delaying the home buying decision. Here’s what really caught my attention:  73% are unaware of low down-payment programs ranging from 3% to 5%. They’re also unaware of grant programs and the Mortgage Credit Certificate program that refunds 30% of your annual mortgage interest for the life of your mortgage — an amazing program! The infographic describes 6 additional home buyer assistance programs that could also assist anyone in buying their first home.

A very merry candlelight walk through downtown Olde Golden Christmas 2016 off to an illuminating start BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One announcer suggested 5,000. Another suggested 10,000. Either way, it was a record number of attendees at this year’s Candlelight Walk, which took place Dec. 2 on Washington Avenue in downtown Golden. “Everybody should come because it’s cool,” said Nathan Pedavoli, 6. The best part, his older brother Dominic added, is when the lights are flipped on and downtown Golden is lit up all at once. “It’s really colorful and bright,” Dominic, 11, said. The Pedavolis have lived in Golden for five years, and has attended the Candlelight Walk every one of those years. They joined the crowd of people perched on the Howdy Folks statue of Buffalo Bill outside of the Golden Visitors Center to catch the first peek of the mass of people parading down Washington Avenue, lit candles in hand and singing holiday tunes, making their way to the bottom of the hill.

Local artist Julie Leidel signs this year’s tree ornaments at the Golden Visitors Center before the Candlelight Walk. The ornaments have a print of Heritage Square on each one, which Leidel created digitally. Each year, Leadership Golden selects a scene that is near and dear to Golden for the ornaments, which are sold to benefit the Leadership Golden program. They cost $10 each and can be purchased at various locations in Golden. Learn more at www. leadershipgolden.org.

near 10th Street and Washington Avenue, serves as a community hub during the Candlelight Walk. Prior to the walk, people stopped in to warm up for few minutes — and purchase this year’s holiday tree ornaments. Leadership Golden always picks something that is “near and dear to Golden” for the ornaments, said artist Julie Leidel. Leidel, who moved to Evergreen this past summer, but lived in Golden for about six years before that, digitally MtnVista Ad 10.25x4 Aug2016_Layout 1 9/30/16 created the print of Heritage Square

for this year’s ornaments. “Most of my artwork is inspired by the past,” she said, adding that along with her other artwork, she has painted at least 50 different scenes from Colorado. Ornament sales benefit Leadership Golden, a program that started in 1985 to get people involved and become civic leaders in the Golden community. “The classes are really interesting. People are always inspired … and they learn a lot,” said Bill McKee, president of the board of directors for the Leadership Golden Alumni Association. “There’s very few who go through the program and don’t get involved in 12:47 PM Page 1 some way afterwards. We have a very

high success rate.” Back outside the visitors’ center, The Golden Hayride was setting up to host Santa and Mrs. Claus, Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley, Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan and eight-year-old Aaron Hewitt. Hewitt was the “Light the Lights” contest winner and got to flip the switch with the mayor to turn the lights on in downtown Golden. It was so exciting, Hewitt said. “Everybody was watching, and I got to flip the switch.” The Hewitts are long-time Golden residents, and Aaron loves to take walks along Clear Creek — especially in the winter once it’s all lit up, he said.

Flipping the switch is something Hewitt will never forget, he said, adding he has never gotten picked for anything before, such as school functions. “This is the first time I got to do something,” he said. “It feels really great.” To the left of where the Golden Hayride hosted the main event, the Golden Lions Club was helping people warm up with hot cider. Lions have been involved with the walk and other Golden festivities for many, many years, said Golden Lion Judd Dickey. This year, he enjoyed handing the cider to “all sorts of people with big smiles on their faces,” he said. “It’s just plain fun.”

Custom Built Homes set in Quiet Neighborhoods

Golden launches inaugural event for sustainability BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The world has a limited number of natural resources, and Golenites realize they have the best of all worlds, said Theresa Worsham, the City of Golden’s sustainability coordinator. “We live in a really unique geographical area,” Worsham said. “The Golden Valley has so much we want to preserve and protect.” So to get Goldenites excited and reenergized on sustainability efforts, the City of Golden’s sustainability department and the Community Sustainability Advisory Board’s first Golden Sustainability Night took place Nov. 30 at the American Mountaineering

Center in Golden. Hundreds of people showed up to browse a variety of sustainability vendor booths, learn about local green resources and chat with industry experts. Attendees also heard from Colorado State Historian Dr. Patty Limerick and her historical perspective on climate issues, and Ken Regelson, a sustainable energy policy analyst. There’ are a lot of opportunities for people to help save the earth while being financially conscientious, Worsham said. “Sustainability makes sense.” For more information on Golden’s sustainability efforts, visit www. cityofgolden.net/government/departments-divisions/sustainability.

Wheat Ridge event brings community together Annual holiday celebration kicks off holiday season in style BY KEVIN SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Last year, Adelaide Sakanai, 4, was brave enough to sit on Santa’s lap for the first time at Wheat Ridge’s annual holiday celebration. Now, it’s one of her favorite parts of the event, said her mom, Katie Sakanai, who brought along all her children to this year’s festivities. Dow Villeneuve came with his wife, Colleen, and daughters Adele, 5, and Miriam, 7. “We like being part of the community,” he said. “The girls really like the horse rides.” Wheat Ridge residents kicked off the holiday season Dec. 3 with the city’s fifth annual Holiday Celebration on the Ridge at 38. People jumped on hayrides in a horse-drawn wagon, saw reindeer up close, listened to local groups perform holiday tunes, bought Christmas crafts and — of course — visted with Santa Claus. “This our official opening of the holiday season in Wheat Ridge,” Mayor Joyce Jay said in closing remarks just before turning on the lights for the Christmas tree on the lawn between

Santa Claus talks to Adelaide Sakanai, 4, of Wheat Ridge, about what she wants for Christmas. Santa was on hand inside Wheat Ridge Cyclery on Saturday, Dec. 3, during the town’s annual holiday celebration and tree lighting. KEVIN M. SMITH Stevens Elementary School and Wheat Ridge Cyclery on 38th Street. The celebration is a cooperative event by the city of Wheat Ridge and Wheat Ridge Localworks, a nonprofit organization of citizens engaged in shaping and sustaining the community. “It’s a community event to bring everybody together,” said Sara Spaulding, the city’s public information officer. New this year was the Wheat Ridge

Business Association auctioning pre-decorated trees. With sponsorship and bids, seven trees collected $2,300 for the Ralston House, which protects children from abusive situations. After the mayor’s remarks, Frosty the Snowman flipped the switch to turn on the Christmas tree lights. From the main stage on the lawn in front of Wheat Ridge Cyclery, Jay took a moment to reflect on the year and look forward. “I can’t tell you enough how pleased

and excited I am about Wheat Ridge right now,” Jay said. “We have had a great 2016, and you’re going to start seeing what all has occurred because of it shortly after the first of the year in 2017.” She thanked voters for approving ballot issue 2E last month. The halfcent sales tax will be used for improvements to Anderson Park, widening Wadsworth Boulevard from 35th Avenue to I-70, making improvements to and around the Ward Commuter Rail Station and working on I-70 ramps to relieve traffic congestion into Clear Creek Crossing, a mixed-use development at 38th and Youngfield streets. Jay also announced the former Ford dealership building near 38th Street and Wadsworth Boulevard would be demolished in early 2017 to make way for “The Corners at Wadsworth” shopping and housing development. She also said more housing and retail would be built along 38th Street. “With all of that excitement,” Jay said, “it makes me — even though it’s a little bit of a frosty night — it makes me feel warm inside ....” The annual holiday celebration was moved to its current location when the city was branding Ridge at 38 and wanted to hold more events there, economic development manager Steve Art said. “It really is the heart of the city ... our central business core,” Art said. And the celebration has “turned out to be a huge success.”

Four out of six creekside statues staying in Golden City commission rules on creekside public art

Two Deer is one of four statues that Golden’s Public Art Commission decided to keep in the city’s collection. Along with Two Deer, Brother and Sister at the Rodeo, Eddie at Bat and Victorian Dress-Up were donated to the city. Two other statues, Kids Sledding and Bear and Two Cubs, are on loan so they will be removed from the collection and returned to the owner.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Goldenites Micah, 11, and Matt, 8, Zahn like the statue of the two deer located near the Golden History Center along the Clear Creek path. “They show all the nature here in Golden,” Micah said, and Matt added, “It’s cool how they match the setting.” In early November, Golden’s Public Art Commission voted to keep four of the six statues that were under consideration for removal. Two Deer, Brother and Sister at the Rodeo, Eddie at Bat and Victorian Dress-Up were donated to the city and will remain in the collection. The other two pieces — Kids Sledding and Bear and Two Cubs — were on loan, and will be returned to the owner. All are located along Clear Creek’s streamside walking path in downtown Golden. The decision is final, and does not require further action by city council. However, the decision is scheduled for review in 10 years, or beforehand if a piece is damaged or destroyed. “The City of Golden has relied on the generosity of others to build its public art collection,” said commission member Aleah Menefee. “Without the support of these individuals, the public art collection would not have been

implemented. Golden’s citizens and visitors, as well as the Public Art Commission, are forever grateful for the donors of the public art that contributes to the cultural landscape of the community.” The seven-member Public Art Commission — appointed by city council— was formally established in 2013 to manage and add to the city’s collection of public art. One of the commission’s responsibilities, Menefee said, is to evaluate the collection and consider the removal of pieces, if warranted, every few years. The official term for removing a work of art from a public collection is known as deaccession. In June 2015, the Public Art Commission published its first biannual inspection report, which included evaluating maintenance and the condition of all of

the public art in city’s collection. It was discovered that the six statues are inauthentic — meaning they are not unique or are replicas of original art — and/or could have been made with less-than-desirable materials, such as lead Chinese casting. Adhering to the commission’s adopted policy handbook, this warranted them for potential removal and sale/return. The handbook is available on the Public Art Commission’s page of the city’s website: www.cityofgolden.net. Marv and Julie Krueger, Golden residents since 1994, pay a lot of attention to the statues in Golden, especially the ones along Clear Creek because they walk the path often. Although the couple enjoys the statues for the uniqueness and cultural personality they bring to the city, the

Kruegers also believe it’s important to have authentic art in the city. It’s not so much a matter of having replicas, Marv Krueger said, it’s more about the artists receiving credit for their work. “Whoever created the originals ought to be compensated a fair royalty for all copies made,” he said. But that goes for any work of art, he added, not just the ones in Golden. The Public Art Commission sought professional advice regarding potential copyright infringement, and potential city liability if challenged by an artist claiming the reproduction of their original art work was not authorized, Menefee said. “In the end, the PAC felt that respecting the intentions and good faith efforts of the donors, and the love of all of the collection by the community, far outweighed any potential legal concerns,” Menefee said. Every time that Judy Fyffe of Washington visits her daughter Janice Hodge, who has lived in Golden for four years, she requests that the two take a run or walk along Clear Creek. “Golden has great personality and a good feel,” Fyffe said. And “the statues are fun to look at.” Fyffe said she likes the statues location, and that they are more realistic and not abstract, such as what she sees a lot of in Seattle. “They mix the outdoors with the fine arts,” Fyffe said. “It’s a really nice blend.”

Fire rescue continues to investigate Green Mountain fires West Metro looking for evidence in five fires started in the open space BY STAFF REPORT

The fire on Green Mountain that burned 96 acres on Nov. 28 is the most recent of five suspicious fires on the mountain in November, according to Bruce Kral, fire marshal at West Metro Fire Rescue. “In all cases we have eliminated natural occurrences,” he said.

“We’re asking anyone in the area if they’ve seen — or see — anything suspicious to contact us.” A multiagency fire and law enforcement team is investigating the five incidents — the first three of which happened in the first week of November, a fourth that was not reported at the time, and the Nov. 28 fire. The investigation of the Nov. 28 fire is ongoing. Investigators have spoken to people who may have been the first witnesses of the fire and are still searching for evidence. All five fires were started around

the dusk hour and several were within walking distance of trails, Kral said. “A fire on Green Mountain is not unheard of, but that’s usually every couple years or so, not five in one month,” he said. “All these fires take resources and time to put out.” All but the most recent fire were an acre or smaller. No structures have been burned and no one has been injured, according to information provided by Ronda Scholting, communications specialist with West Metro. However, dry conditions coupled with adverse weather,

such as gusty winds, create a concern there could be more large fires. Kral said he could not comment on any potential charges against the person or people who may be starting the fires, but he said each one would be treated on an individual basis. Investigators request anyone who sees anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, whether in their neighborhood, or on the trails in Green Mountain Park, to call 303987-7111 immediately.

The best part of the season is wonder — the kind that children display

‘T

HITTING HOME

Michael Alcorn

is the Season, no? Season of what? you may ask. Season of apostrophed words (‘Twas the Night…)? Season of Joy (as long as you stay far away from malls)? Season of Miracles (if you believe Hans Gruber)? Season of Magic (to go along with old Ebenezer Scrooge)? How about Season of Wonder? (That’s my favorite). What is “wonder?” Well, Webster’s defines wonder as “a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar or inexplicable.” There — does that clear it up for you? The reason wonder is such an enigma is

that we, in latter-day America, rarely encounter something inexplicable. We have elevated science and reason — both wonderful fields — to the point that mysteries and faith have a diminished role in our lives. When all else fails, we turn to our ubiquitous technology to get an explanation and rarely have a chance to just experience the strange and beautiful. But children have that capacity: Children don’t need explanations for everything they see — though they will ask for them endlessly. And, I think, the idea that the Christmas season is the time of year that we focus on the joy of children is also the reason this is the season of wonder. I know, I know, we’re busy. We’re, ya know,

grown-ups, and we have things to do and, on top of that, we have shopping to accomplish and parties to plan and …yadda yadda yadda. And that’s why wonder dies. And, sometimes, the problem is that we build all these expectations around the season, whether it’s for romance, or for the perfect Thomas Kincaidlike snowfall to blanket the city, or even for our holiday bonuses (Clark Griswold!). And when they don’t come through, our spirit is slightly subdued. Really, how many times, when you’re making your pilgrimages up to Colorado Mills for the stupid Secret Santa present (admit SEE ALCORN, P39

Rediscovering community during journey WIT AND GRIT

O

n my flight back from Sao Paulo on Nov. 17, I savored the experience of visiting my daughter’s husband’s family and community in Praia Grande, Brazil. (Daughter Lily and her husband Wagner live in Colorado but return to Brazil periodically.) What struck me about Brazil was the deep love, enthusiasm and joy people have when encountering friends. Ten days earlier, I had flown to

Brazil to attend the wedding of a close childhood friend of my sonin-law, Wagner. The wedding was held in a majestic ancient Catholic church where my son-in-law was confirmed as a child. I felt moved by the grandeur and history of the church as I witnessed the wedding. The wedding was celebrated in Portuguese, which I do not speak SEE STOBIE, P13

Doomed to repeat it A little history lesson — the two presidents leading up to the Great Depression of the 30’s were Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover, Republicans. The witch hut of Senator Joe McCarthy from Wisconsin accusing Americans of being Communists between 1949 and 1954 was a Republican. The Watergate scandal of President Richard Nixon, a Republican, was 1972-1974. The disastrous Iraq War of Republican George W. Bush, in 2002. The 2007 Great Recession also struck under George W. Bush. Stock market average returns during Republican presidential administrations are 3 percent. Stock market average returns during Democrat administrations are 7 percent. Hold on to your hats Americans, here we go again. MaryAnn Larsen, Arvada Check accusations of racism “Racist!” We hear that accusation about candidates for a Trump administration. Critics drag out something said decades ago, and perceived, imagined, or manufactured as an affront. They have nothing factual to say and could find racism in a quote by Mother Teresa or Abe Lincoln. They are silent about Democrat icons

I also mourn the loss of the Renewable Energy Labs and of our country. One thing we can do as a county is to ensure that we do not leave our vehicles running when they are not in motion. Every day I see people sitting in their vehicles with the motor running while they send a text or make a phone call. Yesterday I bought gas and the car next to me was left running while he fueled it (bad idea) and then he went into the station, purchased a sandwich, and leaned against his car, still running, to eat his sandwich! A car does not need to be running in order to send a text or eat lunch and for each minute it is running, it is adding poisonous carbon dioxide to our already foul air. Newer model cars do not need to be “warmed up” and in fact should not be. If drivers are too cold or too warm, they should go into a building. Without clean air and clean water nothing else matters.

very well. But what I did understand was how personal history and community surrounding this church were coming together for the wedding. I felt honored to have been invited by the bride and my son-inlaw’s family to join them for this special event. On my overnight flight back to Colorado, from the magazine rack by my seat I selected a copy of the Economist. I discovered a book review about a new book by Nick Spencer, who is research director at Theos, a think tank in London: “The Evolution of the West: How Christianity Has Shaped Our Values.” In the review, Spencer’s book is quoted: “The Christianization of Europe was not a bunch of reactionary clerics trying to shut down a noble, free, secular ancient world, but a new idea of a voluntary basis

for human association in which people joined together through will and love rather than blood or shared material objectives.” I thought about the families I met at the wedding in Brazil who don’t appear pious-religious but are connected through “will and love.” And then I thought about the United States and Colorado, my home. Personally, I believe because of the decline in church attendance and fragmented families in America, many of us sense a profound loss of community. Some of us look to our president to take over the spiritual leadership of a priest, pastor, rabbi or iman. Unfortunately, presidents cannot fill that need for connecting us together in our communities, and it is not in their job description. As I have been through a divorce in 2004, causing me to move from Evergreen to Wheat Ridge in 2010, I have experienced the loss of my

old faith community. Through my marriage to Dick in 2009, nurturing friendships, I am rebuilding community in church and otherwise. The review in “The Economist” of Nick Spencer’s book resonates with me, especially this quote, “People still want more than just freedom and choice. They want to belong, they want community rooted in something shared and they want to

find meaning beyond themselves.” Mary McFerren Stobie is a freelance columnist living in Wheat Ridge. Her columns are syndicated by Senior Wire News Service and go60.us. She is the author of “You Fall Off, You Get Back On.” Contact her at mry_ jeanne@yahoo.com or www.marystobie.com.

Irma Jean (Webb) Jones 8/7/1929 – 11/27/2016

Sep. 18, 1922 – Nov. 25, 2016 Ralph Bradley was born on September 18, 1922 in Carnegie, Oklahoma. Times were difficult for his parents (Dora and Jay Bradley), so when Ralph was not quite a year old, they put all their belongings into their old Model T and headed with high hopes for California. Their car broke down in Golden, Colorado so they camped out in the city park for the summer, still hoping to make it on to California eventually. Ralph’s father found a job, and Golden soon became their home. Ralph’s brother, Hugh, was born five years later, and their dad worked at Coors’ pottery plant the rest of his career. Ralph was a bright student. He was able to save money to buy a trumpet, and music became a lifelong passion. He became valedictorian of his high school class, winning a partial scholarship that allowed him to consider the possibility of going to college. His parents couldn’t help him pay for school, but he was able to live at home, attending Colorado School of Mines in his home town of Golden. In May of 1943, with World War II in full force, he and his fellow

By 1944, he had become a second lieutenant with the Engineer Battalion and was sent overseas to France and Germany, where he built bridges, roads, and fortifications for troops. When Ralph returned home, he resumed his college courses and began dating a local Golden girl who became the love of his life, Laurel Calmett. He graduated from Mines on May 30, 1947 and married Laurel the following day. He then launched his long career as a chemical engineer working in oil and gas refineries. He worked as a project manager, ultimately becoming the CEO of Litwin Engineering in Houston. He remained a great supporter of his alma mater, Colorado School of Mines, attending many of his class reunions through the years. Despite all the demands of his career, Ralph man-

Passionate about music all his life, Ralph played trumpet, sang in the church choir, and always had a harmonica close at hand. He loved the outdoors, and he instilled this love of nature in all his children and grandchildren. He was most at home while fly fishing the streams of his native Colorado. Ralph was a skilled woodworker and an avid golfer. In October of 2016, Ralph came down with septic arthritis in his shoulder. Though he underwent surgery and four weeks of intravenous antibiotics, he died on November 25, 2016. On the day he died, he played a few tunes on his harmonic and worked out in the gym, completing his physical therapy before he quietly passed away. He is survived by his wife of 70 years (Laurel Bradley), his brother (Hugh Bradley), his three daughters and their families, as well as a host of nieces and nephews.

Irma Jean (Webb) Jones, 87 years young, born August 7, 1929 joined the Lord on November 27, 2016. Irma was a longtime resident of Golden, CO, where she was well known by many. As a child Irma grew up with her sister Leta, in Marshdale, CO, where their parent’s Everett and Ethel Webb had previously set roots. She was a student at Evergreen until the passing of her parents. Irma, for a few years, lived with relatives in Flat River, MO, where she finished high school and then went on to college in St. Louis.

A holly jolly Jeffco shopping guide for those unique gifts BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Finding a great gift that people both love to give and receive can be a challenge at times. And finding something that is unique and supports the local community can make the quest even more difficult. So Colorado Community Media went on a mission to find some of the most interesting shopping spots within Jefferson County. Here is what we came up with… Jake’s Toy Box Jill and Dan Driver, co-owners of Jake’s Toy Box, realize people are busy and might need a good reason to make the trip out to the toy shop in Arvada. So the couple welcomes people to come hang out while doing their shopping this holiday season. “It’s a very family-friendly, warm, welcoming environment,” Jill Driver said of the toy shop. Highlights include interacting with a two-and-a-half foot tall humanoid robot called NAO, a makerspace and an elevated G Scale model train that is the same size as the

one at the Colorado Railroad Museum, Jill Driver said. The store focuses on providing educational toys for all ages and abilities. The core is catered for birth to 12 years old, but the store also carries a lot of great activities for adults with dementia or Alzheimer’s, Jill Driver said. One gift idea for people wanting to purchase something made locally are books written by local authors. Or, on Thanksgiving weekend, the store got its supply of a brandnew game called Traveling Animals, which was created in Evergreen.

Jill Driver is especially fond of the game because it is entertaining for a family with children of multiple ages. Players travel around the world learning facts about different animals, she said. Jake’s Toy Box is not just for kids, Dan Driver said. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and can make recommendations for anybody on your list, he added. “It’s a really great shopping experience,” Dan Driver said. Jake’s Toy Box 15530 W. 64th Ave. Unit Q, Arvada 720-974-3222 www.jakestoyboxonline. com The Sons of Norway Trollheim Lodge’s Norske Butikken (The Norse Store) Legend goes that if you don’t leave something out for the trolls on Christmas, you will have a bad year. “It’s an old myth,” said Alice Sveum, one of three of The Norse Store’s managers. Nevertheless, trolls are important in Norwegian culture, she added. “The trolls protect people.” Sons of Norway is a fraternal organization that has lodges across the U.S. and in

Norway. It was created in 1895 with the purpose of preserving Norwegian heritage and culture. The Trollheim Lodge is local to Jefferson County, and the name means `home of the trolls,’ Sveum said. The gift shop, which is run completely by volunteers, offers authentic products from Scandinavian countries. “The heritage, culture and history attract people,” said store manager Carolyn Perley. “A lot of people come in to get heritage items.” Many of the items have unique stories behind them, and it’s not uncommon for somebody to find something that reminds them of their childhood, she added. The shop carries a lot of food items — sweets and cookies; jellies and jams; Lefse, which is a traditional soft flatbread; and glogg, a winter beverage served warm — to name a few. Shoppers can also find clothing; decorations — ornaments, figurines and garland made out of straw; cups and mugs and other household items; and things for children such as books and other small toys. There are wall hangings, decals, flags and, of course, Viking things. Interacting with the custom-

ers is a lot of fun, said store manager Joan Enget. Most shoppers probably have some Scandinavian in their background, she said, but others come in to ask about the lodge. The gift shop can become a shopping and learning experience combined, she said. “Everybody’s welcome.” The Sons of Norway Trollheim Lodge’s Norske Butikken (The Norse Store) 6610 W. 14th Ave., Lakewood 303-232-1700 www.trollheimlodge.com Pierogies Factory Cezary Grosfeld has childhood memories of helping his grandmother in the kitchen, preparing Christmas meal. In Poland, Christmas Eve is more popular than Christmas Day, he said, and a meal will often include 12 different dishes on the table. Now, Grosfeld, who was born and raised in Poland, brings his grandmother’s recipes and the heritage of his homeland’s food to Jefferson County with a restaurant, food truck and wholesale.

SHOPPING: Some local and unusual shopping destinations for this holiday season FROM PAGE 14

“it’s something totally different than burgers, pasta or burritos,” Grosfeld said. “It’s a good reason to get people to try something new.” The most popular pirogie’s the restaurant sells, in general, are the potato and cheese pierogies, Grosfeld said. But for a more traditional experience this holiday season, he said, people should try the sauerkraut and mushroom pierogie. Sticking to tradition, meat is not served on Dec. 24 in Polish households, he added.

Experiencing different cuisines is something Grosfeld enjoys, he said, so he is happy to be able to bring a new food experience to those who try his pierogies for the first time. “The biggest challenge is introducing Polish food to people. There’s not a lot of Polish food available in Colorado — yet,” Grosfeld said. “But if you try it, you’re going to like it.” Pierogies Factory 3895 Wadsworth Blvd., Wheat Ridge 303-425-7421 www.pierogiesfactory.com

Spinster Sisters Everybody is welcome to get jolly with sisters this year, said Hannah Faust, Spinster Sisters’ marketing and social media manager. Both recipients of the products and the gifters tend to enjoy the cheekiness and antiquated name, nostalgic and vintage packaging and the story behind the products sold at her store, Faust said. “It’s a fun, local gift,” she said. Spinster Sisters is a microsoapery that offers all-natural handmade soaps, shaving

products, moisturizing lotions, salves, soaks, scrubs and more. Founder Kelly Perkins started it as a hobby in her basement in Golden in 2011. Now, the microsoapery has three retail stores — two in Denver and one in Golden — and its production facility is still housed in Golden. “Everything is handcrafted and made in small batches,” Perkins said. “They are really high-quality products.” Some gift ideas that Perkins suggests are the soy lotion candles and the seasonalscented bath soaps such as

the pumpkin pie or cranberry orange. Shoppers can find pre-assembled gift sets and some unique stocking stuffers, Perkins said. One product that would make a great stocking stuffer for Coloradoans who are planning on going skiing this winter, she said, is the Backcountry Balm. “It’s great to have with you before hitting the slopes,” she said.

Snowshoes, oatmeal and pickles Unique family traditions make the holidays memorable

Ornaments dazzle on a Christmas tree in Parker’s PACE Center on Nov. 22. TOM SKELLEY

BY TOM SKELLEY | TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ach year, the holiday season brings the usual customs of brightly lit yard displays and holiday hold music, but the things people anticipate most are the special traditions they celebrate with their families. Though customs like waiting for Santa Claus and lighting the menorah have storied and varied origins, the reasons

people cherish them have less to do with history than the way they modify the customs to fit their own family. Be it frying latkes in the snow, arguing over the perfect Christmas tree or leaving breakfast for a snow gnome, the things people in the region do to celebrate the holidays are as unique as the people who celebrate them.

“We always try to do what others do to celebrate Hannukah, giving a present each night, and usually the Sunday of Hannukah the whole family gets together. “One thing I do every year is I will fry latkes outside on the patio on a little electric frying pan, whether it’s winter weather or warmer weather. Let me tell you, when you’re frying latkes and there’s snowflakes coming down and get-

ting into the oil, you do get burned a bit — but it makes it fun.”

“I have Icelandic heritage, so every year my daughter and I leave out a bowl of oatmeal for the Tomten. He’s like a guardian of the land who helps families look after their farms. It’s an Icelandic tradition to leave him a bowl of porridge on

the solstice, so every year since my daughter was about 2 we’ve done it. “I have a box of organic oatmeal that she wouldn’t eat when she was a baby that we use every year. Hopefully, the Tomten doesn’t mind that it’s reject oatmeal.”

“We’re Armenian, so the one thing we do that’s different is instead of doing Christmas presents on Christmas, we don’t give each other presents until New Year’s Day, and we leave the tree up until Jan. 6. “We have the entire family over, and we have a big family for Christmas dinner. It depends on the year, but the most we have had was between 30 and 40 people all in the house.”

“Our tradition is that every year we go up to Bailey or Frasier and cut down a tree. We get a permit through the National Park Service. It depends on what the weather is like, but it’s always an adventure. The kids are grown up, but they still rotate who gets to

pick the tree out every year. “It’s just being family. We can’t ever agree on a tree — my husband always goes off in a different direction than us and sometimes we argue. But it’s all about being out there together, then we have hot chocolate after.”

“My mom is Swedish, but we do the ‘German pickle’ ornament thing every year. I have no idea why. It’s just a little ornament that looks like a pickle, and every year my mom hides it somewhere on the tree. I have two brothers, and whoever finds the ornament first gets to open the first gift of Christmas and ring the little bell from ‘The Polar Express.’ ”

“My kids are in Connecticut now and my parents have passed away, so my Christmas tradition now is snowshoeing. Every year I go up to Brainard Lake near Nederland, and I just go out there with a friend, just seeing moose and being out in nature. It’s a great way to get rid of all the old stuff and bring in the new.”

Glory Days: meeting longtime music legend Bruce Springsteen

W

hat do you wear when you’re going to meet one of your heroes? You don’t want to overdress and look like you’re trying too hard, but you also don’t want to look sloppy. Wearing that LINER person’s T-shirt can NOTES seem a little on the nose, but you still want them to know you’re a fan. In the end, I decided on a green sweater and jeans when I met Bruce Springsteen at the Tattered Cover on Nov. 30. And in the Clarke Reader moments after shaking hands and taking a photo with The Boss, I honestly couldn’t tell you what I wore. Springsteen was in town promoting his autobiography, the aptly titled “Born to Run,” and a little more than 1,000 fans had the opportunity to meet the man himself and get an autographed copy. The event sold out in 15 minutes or less. I honestly don’t know if the Tattered Cover has ever seen a crowd that size. It snaked through the entire store, right out the front door and around the building. And what a crowd it was. Seniors to 6-year-olds (mostly) happily stood in line, swapping stories about the first time they saw Springsteen, arguing about what his best album is, and the times in their lives his music has meant the most to them. One person talked about “Tunnel of Love” getting them through divorce, and my mother talked about “The Rising” helping her stay positive during her brother’s cancer diagnosis and treatment. That got me thinking about the times Springsteen’s music helped me over the years, as the line moved slowly but steadily forward. I thought about all the unrequited loves I soundtracked in my head to “I’m On Fire.” Or how “Dancing in the Dark” is the best pop song ever written, and it never fails to cheer me up. And I thought about the hope I’ve always pulled from the lyrics to “Atlantic City,” or the last verse of

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Childish Gambino’s “’Awaken, My Love!’” released on Glassnote records. Review: Who would have expected Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) to have the kind of 2016 he did? His television show “Atlanta” is the best new show of the year, and now he’s delivered this funky, atmospheric third album. If you’re looking for rap, go somewhere else — Glover dives deep into Funkadelic-style soul, jazz rhythms and a dense swirl of moods. The result is one of the most surprising and rewarding listens of the year. Favorite song: “Redbone” Most empowering lyrics: “Everyone just wants a better life They tried to kill us Love to say they feel us But they won’t take my pride.” “Darkness on the Edge of Town”: “Tonight I’ll be on that hill cause I can’t stop I’ll be on that hill with everything I got Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost I’ll be there on time and I’ll pay the cost For wanting things that can only be found In the darkness on the edge of town.” It occurred to me that I should say all of that to the man himself during the 10 seconds I had to meet and get a photo with him. But of course, when you’re five feet away from a man who has touched millions of lives, who’s been both a conscience and inspiration for more than a decade of my life, and is just flat-out cooler than all but maybe five people on the planet, all you really want to do is not trip. So I shook Bruce Springsteen’s hand, told him I was a big fan and his music has meant the world to me, got a photo and was guided out of the way to make room for the next person. And while I’m sure he’s heard both those things more times than he can count, he heard me and said thank you, and that’s more than I could’ve expected. The thrilled laughs, unstoppable

After several hours in line, columnist Clarke Reader spent a glorious 10 seconds with The Boss.

Fast-paced adaptation of Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol” is a pleaser It’s kind of funny how we picture Christmas scenes with snow and people bundled up in winter clothes, sleighs coming from the North Pole and icicles hanging from the edge of the roof. We see little nativity scenes with snow on the ground, too. A lot of that has to do with the stories, movies and pictures John Akal we have all grown up with AVENUE portraying the holiday in such FLASHES a manner. Now, that’s not how Christmas happens for a great many people in the country. A Christmas in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Miami or Dallas looks a lot more like it did in Bethlehem 2000 years ago. I grew up here, so snow and Christmas were an assumption. But I’ve spent a few of my Christmas holidays in Southern California and it kind of brings a whole new vision of the entire thing. But, that image of a white Christmas is a powerful one, and even in L.A. you see folks trying to emulate it with plastic snowflakes

on the ground. It really stems back to some of the European influences and traditions. A lot of the things like Christmas trees and Santa Claus and wooden nutcrackers originated in places where snow falls in December. Let’s be honest, there is something a lot more cozy and heartwarming about being snuggled up in a sweater with a cup of cocoa than heading to the beach in shorts and flip flops. So, we love celebrating those Christmas traditions, snow and all. One of the reasons that image is so ingrained in our culture is a particularly great author who brought those images to life in his stories set in Victorian England. Charles Dickens had a gift for finding ways to tug at heartstrings and create images of Christmas that we can never forget. His most famous story on the subject has to be “A Christmas Carol.” It illustrates the true meaning of Christmas in such an imaginative way that it’s always going to remain popular and the characters are timeless. Of course, there have been many movies, animated features and television specials telling the story and you pretty much can’t turn on the TV without finding one of them broadcast during December. But watching it on a screen doesn’t

quite bring it to life, especially with children, like seeing it presented live in a theater. Well, you can do just that this month because Miners Alley Playhouse will be presenting “A Christmas Carol” on weekends through the season. Now, its production is just a bit different than others you may have seen. It’s a fast-paced adaptation that is also funny and brings the whole story to you using only five actors to play all the parts. The props and staging are simple, and it gives you an experience that could actually happen in your own house. This is one that will make your imagination go wild. The show will be presented on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. from now through Dec. 23. Tickets run $25 for adults, $22 for seniors and $14 for kids 12 and under. A non-ballet stage adaptation of

“The Story Of The Nutcracker” also will be presented as a part of the Children’s Theater showcase. Those shows will be happening on Saturdays starting at 1 p.m. with upcoming performances on Dec. 10 and Dec. 17. Tickets for that run $10 for all ages. They are also running specials that include dining at Abejas across the street. To find out more and to order tickets, go to www. minersalley.com or call 303-9353044. Miners Alley Playhouse is at 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden. That’s around back and upstairs in the old Foss building.

Pomona one game short Jeffco team again comes away with silver in state

Pomona QB Ryan Marquez scrambles as teammate Kenny Maes tries to keep Valor Christian defender Christian Elliss away. PAUL DISALVO versity of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh — in attendance Saturday. “(Dylan) plays well in big games,” Sherman said. “The way he ran the ball tonight was super tough and super physical. He might some great throws on some plays.” After falling behind early 7-0, Valor put up 23 unanswered points from the tail end of the first quarter until halftime — putting up points on four straight possessions to close the first half. “We felt the first time we played them we were a little conservative,” Sherman said. “We knew we were going to have to take the top off their coverage and we did that a couple of times.”

Pomona had the lead and the ball inside Valor territory looking to grab a two-score lead in the first quarter. However, Valor senior Jack Walley intercepted Pomona junior quarterback Ryan Marquez to give the Eagles the ball on Valor’s 35-yard line. Two plays later McCaffrey connected with senior Christian Elliss for a 61-yard touchdown, cuttingly the lead to 7-6 after a missed PAT. Elliss came up big moments later picking off Marquez and running the interception back to Pomona’s 5-yard line. “That moment was amazing,” Elliss said of his long touchdown catch.

Tiger grapplers capture second place BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Only one team managed to top the Tigers Dec. 3 at the Warrior Invitational Wrestling Tournament held at Arapahoe High School. Points earned by the eight Lakewood wrestlers who finished in the top four of their respective weight classes gave the Tigers second place in the team rankings. The sharp blast of referee whistles filled the air and blended with the cheers of supporters and shouted advice to the wrestlers by coaches during the almost non-stop action on the four mats that covered the Arapahoe High School gymnasium floor.

DENVER — It was a familiar sight at Mile High Stadium at the conclusion of the Class 5A football game. Valor Christian walked off the field with another state championship trophy in hand. The Eagles defeated Pomona 30-14 in a rematch of last year’s 5A championship game. “You just feel for the kids. They fought so hard to get here,” Pomona Coach Jay Madden said. “A lot of teams would love to end their season here at Mile High. We aren’t going to sit and complain, but it’s tough.” Valor coach Rod Sherman had happier words after yet another season ending with the Eagles on top. “To come back here and win is quite an accomplishment. I’m really, really proud of this team.” Valor claimed its seventh state football title since winning the school’s first championship in 3A in 2009. The Eagles hold a 36-1 postseason record on the road to their four 5A, two 4A and one 3A champion titles over the past eight years. “There is no better way to go out, especially with the brothers on this team,” said Valor senior Dylan McCaffrey, who quarterbacked the Eagles in three straight title games. McCaffrey finished his final prep football game 8-for-19 passing for 154 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for a team-high 72 yards on 16 carries and a score. McCaffrey’s 8-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter extended Valor’s lead to 30-7 and pretty much put the game out of reach. On top of everything, McCaffrey had his future college coach — Uni-

“We have a pretty good team this season,” Tigers Coach Daren Stennes said during a lull in the action for his team. “We have returning veterans including state champion Gabriel Dinette who is our 152-pounder plus two returning state qualifiers in Jake Debruyn at 195 and Hayden Stills at 295 plus four to six guys who should be contenders to go to state for us.” Stennes said about 30 kids came out for wrestling which is more than last year but it was not as many as some of the year’s he has coached since taking the position in 1996. “This is a good wrestling team that includes a lot of talented individuals,” Stennes said. “We don’t have the depth we have had some seasons but our

starting lineup is very good.” Jeff Arguello was the first Tiger to finish on the podium, as he took thirdplace honors at 113 pounds. Dinette was Lakewood’s first weight division champion as he earned the 152-pound first-place medal by pinning or scoring technical falls in all four of his bracket matches. He won the weight division title by scoring a 15-4 technical fall over Zack Arbuckle of Heritage. Two other Tigers, Michael Irouye at 220-pounds and Hayden Still at 295 pounds also won their weight division titles.

here was something missing from the Class 4A and 5A state championship football games Dec. 3 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver. The Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in partnership with the Colorado High School Activities Association and OVERTIME the Denver Broncos secured a great venue for these title games. Players and coaches love playing on the same field as the Denver Broncos and you don’t hear complaints. However, the Jim Benton atmosphere lacked the kind of buzz you might find at a smaller venue. With 9,502 fans combined for the two games in the 76,125-seat venue, it was hard to get a real sense of the zealous fans and students who were in attendance. There was an empty feeling looking at the vast surroundings and the estimated crowd of 4,500 that watched the second game between Valor Christian and Pomona. The answer might be to move the championship games to a high school stadium in the Denver area. But it would have to be to be a neutral site for the teams playing in the title contests. Echo Park Automotive Stadium in Parker, Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood or Legacy Stadium in Aurora might be able to house a crowd of 10,000 with the addition of temporary end zone bleachers. All-City Stadium in Denver would be a great site, but it’s probably too small. Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City is a soccer venue, but it’s the right size for a state football site. It’s big enough (18,061) to handle an overflow gathering for both games but a crowd of 9,000 to 10,000 would not be lost. Cyclo-Cross champion Maurine Sweeney of Highlands Ranch won the UCI Masters CycloCross World Championships for the 65-69 age group on Dec. 2 in Mol, Belgium. Cyclo-cross is the national sport of Belgium and the races always involve sections where the racers must dismount and carry their bikes over powder-sugar sand. Some races involve sections in which bikes must be carried up stairs or over obstacles.

much going in the third quarter. Marquez finished 20-for-30 passing for 180 yards, but threw three interceptions. Junior running back Kenny Maes was the Panthers’ leading rusher with 11 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown. “We knew it was going to be tough sledding running the ball and they are athletic on the back end when you throw the ball,” Madden said of his Pomona team. “Defensively, we had to choose our poison and it was hard all night.” Valor went through Cherry Creek, Mullen and Fountain-Fort Carson on the way to yet another state title. “I think we love it,” Elliss said having pressure to win a state title every year. “Everyone is gunning for us. Every team says they want to beat us. It’s amazing when we come out and do things like this.” It wasn’t a cakewalk through the

Hensley honored Former Lindenwood University women’s hockey goaltender Nicole Hensley is one of the 10 recipients of the NCAA Top 10 award that recognizes former student athletes for success in the field, classroom and community. Hensley, who went to Green Mountain High School, is now an assistant coach for the Lindenwood women’s hockey team in Saint Charles, Missouri. She had a school-record 2.52 goals-against average and a .922 saves percentage during her senior season. She is the NCAA all-time saves leader with 4,094.

season for Valor. The Eagles started the season 1-3 with losses to Saguaro (big-school state champion from Arizona), Mullen and Pomona. The Eagles (11-3 overall) finished with 10-game winning streak. Pomona concluded a remarkable season and improbable return to the state title game where the Panthers lost three returning all-state players Jake Moretti, Max Borghi and Cameron Gonzales before the title game. “I’m always going to have a chip on my shoulder to beat (Valor) every time we see them,” said Pomona sophomore Billy Pospisil, who led the Panthers with eight catches for 65 yard receiving. “There is a lot of motivation to get back here next year.” Moretti, one of the top offensive linemen in the state, didn’t play at all this season after a knee injury over the summer. Borghi (824 yards rushing, 495 yards receiving and 21 touchdowns) suffered a torn ACL and

MCL in Pomona’s quarterfinal victory over Columbine. Gonzales (890 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns) broke his lower leg and dislocated an ankle a week ago in the Panthers’ semifinal win over Regis Jesuit. Maes was thrust into the role of primary running back and starting safety with the loss of Borghi and Gonzales. Pomona’s last football state championship came in 1988 when the Panthers edged Montebello 24-21. Pomona now has a 1-6 record in football title games. It was Pomona’s third appearance and loss in the 5A title game since 2009. The Panthers suffered a pair of heartbreaking 3-point losses to Mullen (2009) and Valor (2015).

“There are good teams here today so we know our guys will be challenged,” he said. “This also is the first long day of wrestling with each guy wrestling at least four times. It helps emphasize the stress we put on conditioning and it also reminds some of our guys being in shape for football is very different than being in shape for wrestling.”

Reworking the Nutcracker for a younger audience Miners Alley children’s theater takes different approach to holiday classic

Marie (Emily Gomes), Ernst (Erik Thurston), and Fritzi (Kate Poling) in Miners Alley Playhouse’s production “The Story of the Nutcracker.”

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For many families, Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” ballet is a traditional part of the holiday season. The original show isn’t exactly child-friendly, and so Rory Pierce, director of Miners Alley Playhouse’s children’s theater program, decided to tweak the show into something the younger audiences can also appreciate. The result is “The Story of The Nutcracker,” which honors both the original book by E.T.A. Hoffman and Tchaikovsky’s ballet. The show runs at Miners Alley, 1224

Washington Ave. in Golden, through Dec. 23. Performances are Saturday at 1 p.m., and there will be weekday performances Dec. 19 through 23. “The Story of The Nutcracker” begins with a gift to Marie (Emily Gomes) from her Godfather Drosslemeier on Christmas Eve. Sadly, the beautiful Nutcracker (Erik Thurston)

she receives is broken, but when she checks on it later, it has come alive. And with that, the characters and audience are off on an adventure. We spoke to the two leads about the show, and what makes it different from the version many are familiar with. Point 1: It has more plot — “There’s

a little bit of waltzing, and we use some of the same music, but it’s easier dialogue, which helps audiences understand,” Gomes said. “We want everyone to come in with a clean slate, because we’re telling a different story in a different way.” Point 2: It is interactive — “Rory’s version of the show is very interactive — it invites the children to advance the story,” Thurston said. “The great thing about children’s theater is how freeing it is, because you can do all kinds of crazy things.” Point 3: It is made for children — “Rory said when he wrote this script, he wasn’t worried about a message or anything,” Thurston said. “He just wanted it to be a fun, lighthearted experience.” “It changes the game when the kids get up on the stage with you,” Gomes added. “The looks on their faces when they see the Nutcracker and get up there with him is the best.”

It’s your right to know what the city and county governments are changing and proposing. ~~~ See the ordinances on these legal pages. ~~~ Read the public notices and be informed!

By the way, that last sentence? That’s like a writer’s “snow dance” — the literary equivalent of washing your car when a snowstorm is supposed to be on its way. Of course, wonder is the reason for the whole season to begin with. Even if you don’t believe this, and regardless of how you feel about certain adherents to this belief, don’t you have to pause for a second and be awed that one of the major faiths in the world believes that God chose to become human, to live as one of us for a time, and that’s the reason we celebrate Christmas? It blows my mind! Wonder is an inextricable part of this season, and I would encourage you to slow down, look up every once in a while, take in your surroundings, and enjoy it. It’s, well, um…. it’s wonderful. Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His novels are available at MichaelJAlcorn.com
