THE THRILL OF VICTORY

Advertisements offer ways to tackle problems facing state By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Eighth-grade students at Cresthill Middle School in Highlands Ranch looked at the biggest problems facing Colorado and developed their own video advertisements to explain how they would fix them. Bryce Johansson’s team wanted to see if Douglas County students were sleeping enough. It found, on average, students only get seven hours compared to the recommended eight to 10 hours for teenagers. “We were really disappointed in that and wanted to make it so there was an extra hour before school,” Johansson said. Reiley Forshey and her group studied how to keep increasing traffic in the Denver area from affecting the state’s tourism industry. “Our solution was more public transportation such as light rails and stuff like that,” Forshey said. Aarushi Gupta and her team discovered a need for funding in the biomedical industry. “Our solution was to fund small business incubators to help them grow and help find cures,” Gupta said. Thirty-seven teams representing 155 eighth-graders spent three months on the projects, which were a collaboration among social studies, language arts, science and wellness classes. The project reflected the district’s focus on innovation, 21st Century Skills and real-world connections, social studies teacher Sonja Herring said. “Rather than just learning about how one goes about impacting local government, we are actually trying to go through the process ourselves,” she said. “Students were able to choose an issue that was truly affecting Colorado Video continues on Page 9

Event offers help amid struggle Community of Care Network holds event in Castle Rock By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Stacey Hudgens and her family have been living motel to motel for the past year. “It’s been pretty tedious,” she said, adding that they are currently living in a Super 8 in Douglas County. Her family was one of the many that attended Strive to Thrive, an event that brought together 35 agencies offering a variety of assistance to Douglas County families. “My husband and I are having some hard times right now, and this is just a great resource for our family,” Hudgens said. “To know that there’s food available at all times and you don’t have to go hungry is inspiring.” The eighth biannual Strive to Thrive Resource and Service Fair, hosted by Douglas County’s Community of Care Network, was Jan. 26 at Calvary Chapel in Castle Rock. The free event is designed to help teach attendees how to take advantage of free food and clothing, medical assistance and more, while giving them the opportunity to receive many of those benefits on site in a one-stop shop setting. Attendees were able to walk away with new warm clothes as well as food provided by food banks. They also learned about employment opportunities and how to apply for food stamps. Free haircuts, dental checkups, free stress tests and wellness checks were also available. “The hair cutting was excellent,” Hudgens said, touching her freshly cut hair. “I needed that. Years ago I should have gotten one, but I didn’t — I kept putting it off.” Project ReCycle was also at the event Thrive continues on Page 9

FACES AMONG US

Staff was directed to further address the proposed accessory-use category By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

HELLO

... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

KEVIN CALLAHAN Owner of GreenSheen Paint What I do I’m the owner of GreenSheen Paint — Premium Recycled Latex Paint. I thought of the idea in 2010 in my two-car garage, working as a paint contractor. The norm nationally is to throw paint in the trash. We turn leftover paint into one consistent color and ship it out to Habitat for Humanity locations nationwide, like the one in Highlands Ranch. Our 20,000-square-

foot facility is in Denver. We have large hydraulic mixers that turn thousands of paint colors into one color in two minutes. When I’m not working I have twin 11-year-old girls. I’m usually at a basketball practice or game — or a soccer practice or game. We like to do outdoor stuff — skiing, snowboarding, dirt biking. My inspiration When I got into this, it was just a solution to my problem as a painting contractor. I’m not a huge environmentalist, but there are approximately 85 million gallons of paint that go into landfills per year. We can’t continue to dump hazardous chemicals in the dirt. I thought something has to be done about this. If you have suggestions for My Name Is..., contact Alex DeWind at adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

After almost two hours of discussion and testimony from close to 40 people Jan. 25, the Douglas County Planning Commission recommended approval of proposed motorsport regulations, with specific instructions to staff to further address the proposed accessory-use category. While most speakers were pleased that county staff worked hard on establishing regulations, many were concerned with the accessory-use category, which did not have any proposed regulations. “The lack of enforceable regulations in rural residential neighborhoods for accessory use has me concerned,” Travis Frazier, of Parker, told the planning commission. “Our properties are large enough to provide space for activity, but not large enough to provide buffers from neighbors. The noise, dust and eyesores created by motorsports affects property values and quality of life.” Comments like that from residents throughout the county pushed the planning commission to instruct staff to further address the proposed accessory-use category before the regulations go before the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, which is scheduled for March 8. Motorsports is defined by the county as the operation of motor vehicles, motorcycles, off-highway vehicles and/or snowmobiles for practice, education, recreation or competition. The regulations in question mainly pertain to motorbikes. Debate on the issue of motorsport uses on rural residential land in Douglas County was sparked Oct. 27 when the Douglas County Board of County Com-

missioners placed temporary regulations on motorsport uses, while directing staff to establish permanent zoning regulations. County staff faces the challenge of finding middle ground between the competing values of county residents who want the freedom to use their land as they want to for motorsport activities and those who want to protect the quiet, rural living environment they enjoy. As a result, staff came up with three regulatory approaches for motorsport use. The first approach refers to motorsport activities falling in the accessory-use category. Accessory use is the operation of off-highway vehicles for recreational purposes, where the activity does not require moving more than 50 cubic yards of dirt. This activity would be allowed on lots of at least 4.5 acres, with a residence established. This type of activity is personal use only and no changes to the regulations on this use were established in the presentation. The second approach deals with tracks where large graded features are purposed. These areas would be subject to special review. Property of 35 acres or greater eligible for this provided the track is for personal use and a private residence has been established on the land. Regulations on these types of properties include a submission of a landuse application, a site plan to include the proposed track and any beaming or screening, and a management plan that identifies operational limits, including the number of riders at a time and the hours of operation. The review would include a public hearing in front of the planning commission and special review approval. The track would be subject to at least one annual inspection and the applicant would be responsible for providing a noise study showing that use Planning continues on Page 9

Locals join lineup for Puppy Bowl XII

to dedicate one TV for the Puppy Bowl so Baxter can watch himself, while the rest of the family cheers on the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

Dumb Friends League sends three to join event

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com Three puppies from the Dumb Friends League — including two from Colorado — were drafted to star in Puppy Bowl XII to complete Animal Planet’s roster of adoptable players. The Dumb Friends League is among 44 shelters and rescue groups representing 25 states across the U.S. and Puerto Rico participating in Puppy Bowl XII. All three of the Dumb Friends League’s puppies were adopted following the event. The Puppy Bowl is recorded each year and then is aired on Animal Planet on Super Bowl Sunday. Puppies play in a model stadium as commentators weigh in about their actions. “The Puppy Bowl is more than entertainment,” said Megan Rees, public relations manager for the Dumb Friends League. “It encourages adoption, a message that is ingrained in every aspect of the event. We are proud to partner with Animal Planet to help drive that message into millions of homes across the country that will be watching.” Meet the players Moose Weighing in at 2.54 pounds, Moose, a 3-month-old poodle mix, will be representing Team Fluff. He first entered the Dumb

Ollie is a 2.75-pound poodle mix that played for Team Fluff in the soon-to-air Puppy Bowl. He lives in Centennial.Photo by Shanna Fortier Friends League as part of a large neglect case from southeastern Colorado. The day that he returned from taping the bowl in New York, Moose’s adoption contract was permanently signed with a loving new family in Parker. “He’s been wonderful,” said Jenny Kuist, who adopted Moose, now renamed Rico. “He’s really rambunctious but also a cuddler.” Moose continues his training at home by going for three-mile walks and playing with his brother, Bob the poodle. “He’s gonna kill it in the puppy bowl,” Kuist said, adding that even though it was taped in October, it’s going to be a surprise to her what happens in the game. The pup will be wearing his Broncos sweatshirt for the Super

Bowl Feb. 7 and the family plans to watch Moose’s big debut following the football game. Ollie Curious Ollie had a rough start to life after being rescued from a neglect case in southeastern Colorado, but that turned around after he arrived at the Dumb Friends League. Eventually, his talents in playing and generally looking adorable were discovered by scouts at the Dumb Friends League, and he was drafted as a first-round pick for Puppy Bowl XII. Weighing in at 2.75 pound, he joins Moose on Team Fluff. Upon returning from New York for his filming debut, Ollie was adopted by the Ives family in Centennial. There, he is known as

Baxter. Mike Ives admitted that they were a little annoyed when they first found out the puppy they wanted to adopt was drafted. It meant waiting until Oct. 20 — after filming was complete — to sign the official papers. “Now, it’s really cool showing friends and family,” Ives said. Ollie’s football career was short-lived due to his preference for cuddling rather than running plays, but he gets plenty of play time in with his sister, Lucy, who was adopted from the same litter. The Ives children also help facilitate playtime. The Ives family members are big Broncos fans — Baxter even has a Manning jersey he wears on game day. The family plan is

Riley Riley, a 7.2-pound dachshund, was drafted for Puppy Bowl XII as a last-minute substitution for Team Ruff. He was the first puppy to poop on the field this year, giving him a successful “numbertwo” point conversion and endearing him to fans nationwide. Riley went from shelter to chic when he was adopted by a smitten New Yorker, with whom he now lives on the Upper West Side. He enjoys going for walks in Central Park. After Puppy Bowl XII, Riley hung up his cleats, trading football glory for Instagram fame — you can follow this little dachshund and his big city adventures at @RileytheDoxie.

On the air In addition to watching puppies compete for the famed title of Puppy Bowl MVP (Most Valuable Puppy), viewers can also enjoy the Kitty Half-Time show, adoption success stories and lots of fun animal antics during the two-hour program. Viewers are invited to vote online for this year’s MVP on game day. Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl XII premiers 1-3 p.m. MST Sunday, Feb. 7, and repeats all day and night until 1 a.m. Game-day coverage starts at 12:30 p.m. with the Puppy Bowl Pre-Game Show, featuring analysis and commentary from a team of sports correspondents.

Team Rubicon brushes up on skills Team that aids in natural disaster relief includes military veterans Staff Report Praying Hands Ranch opened its property Jan. 24 to allow members of Team Rubicon to practice chainsaw skills in preparation for natural disaster relief. The team unites the skills and experiences of military veterans and first responders to rapidly deploy disaster response teams. Team Rubicon, which includes civilian members, operates under the mantra “Disasters are our business. Veterans are our passion.” “They are dedicated to using their valuable training by giving

back to the community by offering their services. This group of trained responders run to the disaster while everyone is running away,” said Kathryn Waldheim, who helps with outreach at the Praying Hands Ranch, a nonprofit on the Douglas-Elbert county line that provides equine therapy to those with disabilities. The group that trained Jan. 24 included veterans from the Navy, Army, Special Ops and Marines. The chainsaw workshop is one of many various training sessions required for team participants. Team Rubicon, Region VIII, is one of the largest and most active in the U.S. Team Rubicon was called into actions in recent years to help with earthquake relief in Haiti, flooding in Lyons, Colorado, cleanup after Hurricane Sandy and a EF-4 tornado in recent Garland, Texas.

event focused on education, employment, family services, health care, housing and utilities, nutrition and transportation. “I think it’s important people know that these agencies are here to take care of them,” said Chuck Vogel, volunteer with the Parker Task Force. “Douglas County is perceived as a well-off county, but we took care of 10,000 people at our task force last year. Even though our income level is high, there is a lot of need in our county.”

in which they could invest their time and passion.” Groups eventually settled on a particular issue and worked to create a realworld solution that took into account the problems’ complexities — ranging from where the money would come from to the impact on Colorado’s economy and people. They then wrote scripts and created political ads to support their solution. The class voted on the most persua-

sive ads and then sent the top 10 to an advertising executive at Integer Group, a global marketing agency based in Englewood, to evaluate. Students also had the opportunity to write letters to their state representatives and senators to convince them to use their suggestions in this legislative session. “I was really impressed,” Herring said. “They had the opportunity through their research to see what are the problems that are impacting our state and then had to find a real-world solution. We had some very innovative solutions and things that would really work.” Students also learned some of advertising’s finer points and how to persuade

Warmer colors can make it more upbeat.” Students said they enjoyed the project because they chose topics that interested them and put their ideas into action. “We were able to actually start making a change,” Forshey said, “and come up with direct solutions that have the potential to actually fix something.” To watch the videos, go to www.youtube.com and search for Sonja Herring.

Two ways to ask same question Typically when we are having a conversation and the question pops up — “Why does this keep happening to me?” — it is most often regarding something negative or a bad or troubling situation. I mean, most people never really contemplate that same question when things are going well, or do they? We all have those people in our lives who lament or dwell on why bad or troubling things keep happening to them, and although some of them just think it to themselves over and over again, others will make sure they continue to ask you, me, and anyone else who will listen that same question, “Why does this keep happening to me?” So let’s look at this in two ways. First let’s think about the people we know who are continuously in this situation and walk around like Eeyore from “Winnie-the-Pooh.” Do they really want to find a solution to the recurring problems or do they just want to keep the embers of discouragement and disappointment burning so that they can share their problems with anyone who will listen? Or are they just so stuck in a bad cycle and so close to the situation that they really do need help in figuring

out an escape route or new strategy? Assuming they truly want to break the cycle, there are many options including counseling, change in attitude, change in behaviors, and other solutions they can pursue. The second way to look at this is underMichael Norton standing why there are people who ask the very WINNING same question, but ask WORDS it or state it in a positive way. They may ask or say something like, “I can’t believe this keeps happening to me, I am so very blessed.” They continue to meet new friends, experience success at work, build deeper relationships, achieve goals, realize dreams, and live in a sense of inspired purpose and comforting peace. The difference between the two is the attitude and the behaviors. The person who can

claim that they are blessed or lucky lives with an attitude of gratitude. They live in a spirit of servant leadership, they give of themselves and give back financially where they can, and they also live with an abundance mentality as opposed to a scarcity mentality. People who think positively and are driven to act upon their goals with a sense of purpose and passion will never complain about why things keep happening to them; instead they will give thanks and show appreciation by continuing to expand upon the positive attitudes and behaviors that bring them peace, joy and satisfaction. These are the people who grow beyond success and into significance. The business owner who has too much turnover or whose business is flat or declining, the salesperson who isn’t meeting quota, the person who is unhappy in their job, the spouse who is feeling unfulfilled, they may all ask the question “Why does this always happen to me?” But the business owner who is thriving, the salesperson who is exceeding expectations, the person who goes to work Norton continues on Page 11

Hard to warm up to new appliance What I have for you today is another sign of the apocalypse. Samsung is selling its new refrigerator for $5,000. You can probably talk them down to forty-eight. Why is it so expensive? It takes a picture every time you close the door. It doesn’t take a picture of you. It takes a picture of itself. It takes a picture of what’s left inside. Then the pictures are uploaded on the Internet, and you can stand there and block the aisle at the grocery store and look at them. Lord forbid you run out of brown eggs or kale. I have a 23-year-old refrigerator and it refrigerates just fine. It doesn’t have an ice maker or a backup camera. It doesn’t tell me if the atmospheric pressure inside is sufficient for noodle salad. If I pick up the bacon, it doesn’t warn me, or tell me what’s going to happen to my insides if I eat it. It’s just a refrigerator. It’s not a Family Hub. That’s what Samsung is calling its new

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

jwoodside@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Property should be reassessed only when sold Like most of my neighbors and your readers, I recently received my tax bill based on a reassessment of my property that increased in value by 23 percent. While the boom in Colorado real estate prices is a nice psychological boost for property owners, we have no way to monetize the increase in the value of our real estate without selling it. We pay our property taxes out of our current income, which, sadly, did not increase by 23 percent but rather by 2 percent to 3 percent. In the interest of a fairer property tax code, property should be assessed when a house is sold and future increases in the assessed valuation should be limited to the increase in inflation until the house is sold again. In this way, people will be able to afford their property taxes the entire time they live in their home and won’t be subject to the vagaries of the real estate market. I encourage everyone to write their Colorado legislators and demand that they change the law and formula for property reassessment. Joan Ebersole Lone Tree

SCFD bill is not the right ﬁt The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District reauthorization bill, SB-016, falls short of good government ideals. Here’s why: Accountability SB-016 assesses tax through 2030, funding Tier I (Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Art Museum, Botanic Gardens, Museum of Nature/Science and Zoo) automatically without oversight or policy objectives. These organizations will receive over $500 million regardless of need or performance. Inclusivity Arts funding tends to overlook the poor, disabled, people of color and youth. When those communities are engaged, expressing their cultural and artistic voices, their experience bridges divides and builds healthy communities. Tier III organizations have a good track record performing these functions, and SB-016 fails to support them. Growth and equity Regional growth has been dramatic the past 25 years, yet SCFD’s process failed to evaluate growth projections and future needs. This oversight is seen in the attendance shift since 1990: Tier I attendance grew by 65 percent, and Tier III by 736 percent! Tier I and their advocates crafted the funding formula under the direction of the chair of the Tier I lobbying entity. The mandate was for incremental change with Tier I funds to exceed inflation and those powerful organizations benefiting disproportionately. For good government, SB-016 should

Staying active is crucial for older adults

As you grow older, an active lifestyle is more important than ever. Regular engagement in activities can help boost energy, maintain your independence, and manage symptoms of illness or pain. With many baby boomers already retired or approaching retirement, it is critical to consider activities that help maintain or achieve optimal levels of health. “What is good for the body is good for the brain,” is a saying we frequently hear and it rings true even when you reach the golden years. How we live our lives can affect how we age. Recreation facilities provide services and amenities such as SilverSneakers fitness classes, tai chi, aqua aerobics, balance improvement, Arthritis Foundation programs and various other services for active aging adults. Some facilities offer one-on-one aquatic therapy training, which is the use of water (or warm water) as a way of improving health while coping with disease or physical discomfort. Water relieves the effects of gravity on the body, giving a sense of weightlessness. This weightlessness alleviates the painful stress on joints or muscles while also providing resistance. The warm water in a therapy pool can also stimulate

the touch receptors on the skin, increasing blood circulation and releasing tight muscles. It is important that older adults participate in regular physical activities. Studies Deni Jacobs suggest that exercise can lower the LIVING AND risk of dementia AGING WELL by 50 percent to 60 percent, and decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 60 percent (Eckmann, 2011). Other fun activities beneficial to active adults are card games such as bridge, cribbage and euchre. Skills required for these games include concentration, strategizing and working with a teammate to triumph over an opponent. A study conducted at the University of California-Berkeley showed that playing bridge regularly appeared to be tied to players’ immune systems producing more T-cells, which the body uses to fight

infection. Other benefits of playing card games include keeping the brain stimulated and alert and keeping the memory active (Smith, 2010). Starting or maintaining regular activities can be a challenge as you get older. You may feel discouraged by illness, ongoing health problems, or concerns about injuries or falls. A CTRS (certified therapeutic recreation specialist) is a qualified provider of therapeutic recreation, or a personal trainer can help get you started with the appropriate activities. Therapeutic recreation, also known as recreational therapy, is a process that uses recreation as a means of treatment intended to restore, remediate and rehabilitate a person’s level of functioning and independence in everyday life activities. Therapists work with clients to improve their health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the limitations and restrictions caused by their illness or disabling condition. A CTRS can provide one-on-one support and supervision for individuals requiring assistance during traditional recreation programs on an asneeded basis and may lead various programs, classes and special events.

Participating in programs and movement activities can lead to benefits in everyday living such as living independently at home longer, walking to the grocery store to pick up groceries, or even taking fewer prescription medications. Common goals for active adults include social interaction, cognitive stimulation, learning new skills and opportunities for selfexpression through crafts. Participants can also acquire a reduction in anxiety, stress and depression, decreased focus on pain, and increase in independence and self-esteem. Here in Douglas County, there are many community centers where you will find a variety of recreational opportunities for active aging adults including pools, fitness rooms, and group exercise classes. Affordable short-term and long-term memberships are available for individuals, or you can pay as you go with daily admission passes. For more information or to find a CTRS near you, contact your local parks and recreation department or senior center.

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Dance students at Douglas County High School spent a week learning Aboriginal dance — including the reason that participants don’t wear socks. “There’s a connection between my soul and Jarrah, which is the soul of the earth, through the soles of my feet,” said Thomas E.S. Kelly, a professional dancer from Queensland, Australia. “So it’s all about the energy going into the ground.” Kelly is part of the National Aboriginal Islander Skills Development Association, a group of indigenous dancers from Australia. Kelly and his cohorts spent a week in the Denver area during their tour of America to do a workshop with the dancers at DCHS. Judi Hofmeister, the director of International Baccalaureate Dance at DCHS, said she hoped her students would be able to learn not just about new dance techniques, but also about a new culture. “I decided that this year, because we learn about other cultures by how they dance, and I thought Australian Aboriginal would be a really cool theme for us.” Kelly leads the dancers through stretches and warmups with intensity, directing the trafﬁc through an orange trafﬁc cone that the kids jokingly call the DCHS vuvuzela. “For them, it’s so different,” Kelly said. “Contemporary dance in Australia is totally different than it is in America. In America, it’s more modern. It’s more about the technique. In Australia it’s more grounded in energy and rolling on the floor and stuff

Of course, we’ll all be too busy to rehearse and we live all over the Front Range. What a great idea!’ Professor Myer made a proposal to the North American Saxophone Alliance for the group to perform at the Biennial Conference in March 2016 and we commissioned composers to write new music for the group that blended classical music with jazz improvisation.” They will perform Warren Barker’s “Capriccio for Saxophone Quartet and Band” on Feb. 14. “The Barker quartet is an exciting and entertaining work that is challenging for both the Quartet and the DCB,” Bouton said. Also on the program: Ravel’s “Bolero” and Bernstein’s “Overture to Candide,” plus other selections chosen by director Jacinda Bouton.

I think it’s cool that they are all from a different Aboriginal culture and it was fun listening to them tell their story,” Quiett said. “Each dance has a story and each movement has its own meaning. That’s something that we don’t see a lot of.” Junior Simone Shamas said learning the new techniques has been a challenge. “The preconceived ideas we had of dance have just been blown away,” Shamas said. “Just the feet and connecting with the floor and being part of the ground. It’s hard because we are used to pointing our toes. Their connection to nature is far more than what we have.” Junior Maddie Guccione said the experience has inspired to see more of the world through dance. “I think it has inspired us to travel and learn as much about different cultures and dancing as we can. I would love to be able to go to Australia one day.”

Tale of the tape

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press Peyton Manning is the only fivetime MVP in NFL history, one of the faces of the league and, at 39, the oldest starting quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl. Slowed by age and injury, he is no longer the record-breaking passer he once was. Most folks figure Manning’s fourth Super Sunday appearance will be his last game as a pro. Cam Newton is at the opposite end of his career, just 26, making his debut in the big game. He is part of a new Peyton Manning breed of dual-threat quarterbacks as good at running as they are at throwing. When Manning’s AFC champion Denver Broncos play Newton’s NFC champion Carolina Panthers for the Lombardi Trophy in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 7, much of the focus will be on the two quarterbacks who were No. 1 overall draft picks 13 years apart. “Oh, wow,’’ Newton said. “Playing ‘The Sheriff.’ ” That is a reference to Manning, who is 1-2 in past Super Bowls. He won a championship with the Indianapolis Colts in 2007, lost with the Colts in 2010, and lost again with the Broncos in 2014. But this is a different version of Manning. Yes, he’s still as good as anyone at diagnosing defenses and changing things up — or appearing to, anyway — at the line of scrimmage. Yes, he’s still out there yelling “Omaha!’’

Cam Newton / Shutterstock “He most certainly is a Hall of Famer,’’ Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. But Manning is not quite as capable as he was, once upon a time, when it comes to putting the football exactly where he wants it, especially on deep routes. This has hardly been a record-setting season for Manning — or, until now, one worth remembering. Overall, the bad far outweighed the good, including one game with a passer rating of 0.0, 17 interceptions to only nine touchdown passes in the regular season, being sidelined for six weeks with a series of injuries, getting relegated to backup duty in the NFL for the first time, and vehemently denying a report linking Manning’s wife to the banned drug HGH. “My role has been different and my contributions are different,’’ Manning said. “But I’m fortunate and grateful that I have the opportunity to contribute still,

in some way. And it’s a great honor to be going back to the Super Bowl.’’ While Manning was something of a game manager in helping direct the Broncos to wins over the Steelers and Patriots in the AFC playoffs, Newton was dynamic. Newton threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran for 47 yards and a pair of scores, leading Carolina past the Arizona Cardinals 49-15 in the NFC title game. It was the type of performance he put on all season, the sort of promise he showed while winning a Heisman Trophy in college at Auburn. “I keep saying it: We’re not finished,” Newton said. “We’re not finished.”

OUR GAME >>> 50 YEARS OF THE SUPER BOWL

ColoradoCommuntiyMedia.com

BRONCOS, SUPER BOWL MAKE FOR A WILD RIDE Super Bowl 50 will be the eighth time the Broncos will play for the NFL championship. And this is the eighth time I have failed in the lottery to have a chance to purchase Super Bowl tickets, despite being a season-ticket holder for more than four decades. Maybe that’s why I shy away from buying Powerball tickets. However, I was lucky enough to be at Super Bowl XXXIII as a writer for the Rocky Mountain News. That was Jan. 31, 1999, when the Broncos beat Atlanta for their second consecutive title at Pro Player Stadium in Miami. Since I was a late addition to the coverage team, I missed all the media-day hysteria and didn’t have to do any of the advance stories. I did arrive in time to accompany friends for a dinner in South Beach. The atmosphere plus the pre-game and halftime activities were something to experience. It was bedlam after the game trying to get comments from players only to have a surprise waiting when returning to the makeshift press box that was located in the stands. It had rained, but some heads-up press box attendant had put the laptops of reporters under the tables so the computers didn’t get waterlogged. John Elway became the oldest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl and later that summer announced his retirement, which could turn out to be one of several similar links to this season’s team. On the home front It was terrific to attend a Super Bowl but it’s also been fun to observe how Broncomania runs rampant before the big games.

The

SUPER SHOW @

Fans paint their houses, sheds, hair and fingernails orange and blue. Billboards and business signboards offer words of encouragement and buildings are lit up with the team colors. The star atop the rock Jim Benton in Castle Rock will once again shine with orange and blue lights this week. In 1988, the Rocky Mountain News ran an advertisement of man offering to trade his wife for two Super Bowl tickets. Luckily, it was a prank, since the Redskins whipped the Broncos 42-16 in Super Bowl XXII. I can remember sitting in section 306 of the old Mile High Stadium on Jan. 1, 1978, watching Otis Armstrong lean past the first-down marker late in the game to seal Denver’s 20-17 win over defending champion Oakland to earn the Broncos their first trip to the Super Bowl. The crowd noise and reaction of the fans was deafening and I couldn’t hear anything my son was saying. That Broncos team had the Orange Crush defense and an offense that did enough to win, although they lost Super Bowl XII and the next three in which they were participants. Many halfhearted Broncos fans didn’t want Denver to make another Super Bowl appearance and get embarrassed by another blowout loss. In Super Bowl XXXII against the heavily favored Green Bay Packers, Denver captured its first NFL championship with a 31-24 win in San Diego. That set off some unruly celebrations in Denver.

WHO IS GOING TO WIN

THE SUPER BOWL? Colorado Community Media reporters asked people around the metro area their predictions for the big game.

“I believe the Broncos are going to win. They play to the level of their competition. Any team that’s heavily favored against the Broncos can attest to that, e.g. Green Bay, New England. What do they say — defense wins championships.”

“The Broncos, because of Peyton Manning. It will probably be his last game.” Mel Bell, Littleton

“I think it is going to be 45-7 Panthers. If you have seen the Panthers play, they are a highly motivated team that plays like they are having fun every day.” Dennis Phinney, Castle Rock

Dick Okimoto, Thornton

“The Broncos, if their defense shows up. And, if DT (Demaryius Thomas) catches the passes thrown to him, (Ronnie) Hillman doesn’t fumble and the cornerbacks and safeties can cover the Panthers’ wide receivers. Also if Von Miller and Demarcus Ware can get to Cam Newton.”

“I’d like to say (the Broncos), just because they’ve made a big comeback with Peyton being back. And Peyton’s good about studying team plans and that kind of thing. So, I think he’s really going to study the Panthers and do his homework.”

“I think Carolina will take it. Cam is playing lights out. The way that they ran over Arizona was impressive. I thought Arizona was going to win that game, but Carolina Cam in with a full head of steam and looked unbeatable. If the Broncos offense can’t score 28 points, I don’t think they can win.”

FULL PAGE AD “The Broncos will win, as the team has a lot of heart this year. Their defense is good, and I like Peyton Manning — he’s a class act.” Ruth Mitchler, Thornton

“(The Broncos) because of our defense.” Rich Wood, Golden

Emmie Baykian, Castle Rock

Ted Casellini, Thornton

“The Panthers because they have Cam Newton and a better offense than Denver. He really is a double threat.” Larry Mitchler, Thornton

“The Broncos will beat the Panthers based on number of players who have played in playoff games before. History has shown that it is hard for ﬁrst time Super Bowl attendees to win as the hype and excitement affect the level of play.” John Bodnar, Arvada

Dan Baron, Lone Tree

Free agent safety makes unexpected impact for Broncos By Arnie Stapleton | Associated Press Safety Shiloh Keo made a bad first impression when he joined Denver’s dominant defense. He’s more than made up for it with big plays that helped the Broncos reach the Super Bowl. Five days after joining the league’s topranked defense, Keo made a big blunder, surrendering the winning touchdown in the Broncos’ 15-12 loss to the Oakland Raiders. Keo was a fifth-round pick in 2011 by Houston but hadn’t played in the NFL since 2013. He had to lobby defensive coordinator Wade Phillips for a job on Twitter, and then was pressed into duty right after signing because an injury epidemic leveled the Broncos’ depth at safety. He helped them hold the Raiders to a

paltry 126 yards in Week 14, including minus-12 yards in the first half. But after Emmanuel Sanders fumbled a punt deep in Denver territory, the nightmare unfolded for the free agent who had been working out in hopes of signing a futures contract and making a comeback next season. On third-and-15 from the 16, David Carr dropped back and threw to tight end Mychal Rivera, who whizzed past Keo and hauled in the game-winning touchdown pass. Chided by his coaches, chewed out by his teammates and cursed by fans for not staying back in coverage, Keo vowed to make up for his mistake. Has he ever. Keo intercepted Philip Rivers with 5 minutes left in the regular season finale, setting up Ronnie Hillman’s game-winning

TD in Denver’s 27-20 win that secured the AFC’s top seed. He topped that in the AFC championship game when he was pressed into crunch-time duty again along with Josh Bush when starting safeties T.J. Ward sprained an ankle and Darian Stewart sprained a knee. Keo played 36 snaps on defense and 29 more on special teams. He helped cover Rob Gronkowski on Tom Brady’s 2-point conversion attempt, and when Aqib Talib tipped the throw to Julian Edelman into Bradley Roby’s hands, they needed one more big play to seal the AFC title. They got it from Keo. He lined up right in front of kicker Steve Gostkowski, whose first missed PAT in 524 tries in the first half put them in this

precarious position. The kicker had six teammates bunched to his right and four to his left. He tried the straight-ahead on-side kick, but Keo sliced in and grabbed it 6 yards downfield, cradling both the football and redemption. “What a gutsy play,’’ coach Gary Kubiak said. Afterward, Keo sat in the corner locker, soaking in the moment with linebacker Brandon Marshall. “When I think about it, I get emotional,’’ Keo said. “They believed in me, that’s why they brought me here,’’ Keo said. “They trust everybody in this locker room. I just hope I can continue to come through and bring home a championship.’’

Broncos learned their lessons from big letdowns By Arnie Stapleton | Associated Press

6x2 ad position

Before his whirlybird spin in the air forever etched him in NFL lore, two-time Super Bowl champion John Elway called his mother on the team flight from Pittsburgh after winning the AFC championship on Jan. 11, 1998. “I said, `Mom, guess what? We get to go back to the Super Bowl!’’ ” Elway recounted. “She said, `Do we really have to go back?’ ‘’ After so many Super Bowl letdowns — three losses by an average of 32 points — she wasn’t sure watching her son face the two-touchdown favorite Green Bay Packers was such a good idea. Many Denver fans are similarly pensive as these Broncos prepare to face Cam Newton and the mighty Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 as, in the eyes of many bookmakers, five-point underdogs. They swear they’ve learned their lessons, however, after getting shellacked by Seattle 43-8 in the Super Bowl two years ago. They won’t be beating each other up this time in fullpads practices in the lead-up to the Feb. 7 kickoff. They’re praising their opponents aplenty — a lot like the Broncos talked up the Packers 18 years ago. They won’t be soaking in the nightlife quite so full throttle. They’ll certainly prepare for a loud crowd this time after former coach John Fox famously turned down the speakers at practices figuring it would be like a home game only to see that plan ripped apart in all of 12 seconds. “We got spanked last time. I felt bad for a month and ahalf, two months,’’ said wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, the lone bright spot that night in the Meadowlands when Seattle’s sideline-to-sideline supremacy rendered his Super Bowl-record 13 receptions a footnote. “He played great,’’ Elway said in the aftermath of that blowout. “If we all played like he did, we’d have won.’’ “Elway was asked after the last Super Bowl letdown how long it took him to get over his three Super Bowl losses. “I’m not over them yet,’’ he shot back. “I just added this one to it.’’ Elway remade his team after its 35-point loss to the Seahawks. He committed $109.5 million by adding free agents DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward. The trio has helped turn Denver from an offensive juggernaut that had scored an NFL record 606 points behind Peyton Manning’s record-breaking run in 2013 into a defensive team. Two years after taking the league’s No. 1 offense to the Super Bowl, the Broncos bring the NFL’s No. 1 defense, one that battered Tom Brady with an incredible 23 hits in the AFC championship game. The Broncos also changed their offensive identity this

Shutterstock season with the hiring of coach Gary Kubiak, who installed a better ground game and a plan for Manning to share snaps with Brock Osweiler in practice. The plan came in handy when Manning missed six weeks with a foot injury and Osweiler kept the Broncos rolling right along. And the ground game finally came on behind a new O-line in Kubiak’s zone blocking scheme. Even though it’s been inconsistent, “I like what we’re doing offensively,’’ Elway said. “I like the system, obviously, having played in it and knowing that you can win world championships with it.’’ Elway changed coaches a year ago, befuddled by Fox’s teams losing their last game by a cumulative 150-66. He said he wanted a team that would “go down kicking and screaming.’’ That toughness has been on display all season. Denver’s model is no longer lighting up scoreboards but

grinding it out, hanging around and making big plays at the end. It’s a formula that’s seen them win an NFL record 11 games by seven points or less, including 23-16 over Pittsburgh and 20-18 over New England in the playoffs. “The mindset to me is that you know we play for 60 minutes — even though we haven’t consistently played well for 60 minutes — you know our mindset has been there. And that’s why this team is a tougher team because it’s a mentally tough one,’’ Elway said. This time, it’s Newton and the Panthers bringing the high-octane offense to the Super Bowl and the Broncos sporting the star-studded secondary and ferocious frontseven. They’re hoping this dynamic makes a difference — and like the Broncos teams of ’98 and ’99 they’ll make their nervous mothers proud.

Montana victimized Cincinnati twice in the Super Bowl, leading his 49ers to victories in both Super Bowl XVI and XXIII. But it was the latter game that showcased “Joe Cool” at his most clutch. Not only did Montana pass for a then-Super Bowl record 357 yards, but he drove his team 92 yards in 11 plays for a 20-16 comefrom-behind win. Montana threw a 10-yard pass to receiver John Taylor with just 34 seconds left to win the third of his four Super Bowl titles.

After what seems like years of Super Bowl games that were decided early and definitively, we’ve been spoiled of late with close game after close game. And with close games come clutch performances. Here are five such Super Bowl performers, with apologies to the many others from the first 49 editions of the big game who are not included:

• Adam Vinatieri: The most clutch kicker of our time? You can certainly make the argument, as Vinatieri provided the decisive points in each of the New England Patriots’ first three Super Bowl wins – in XXXVI, XXXVIII and XXXIX. His game-winning field goals in the first two games came in the closing seconds, and let’s not overlook the fact that he provided the game-winning field goal in the snow in Foxborough during the Patriots’ first playoff run with Tom Brady at quarterback. Vinatieri provided three more field goals in Super Bowl XLI to help the Pats win a fourth championship.

in the late touchdown that gave New York the 17-14 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Manning escaped the three defenders who almost sacked him on the play, and Plaxico Burress caught the game-winning touchdown later in the drive, but Tyree provided one of the most clutch catches in NFL history. • Santonio Holmes: Speaking of clutch catches, Super Bowl XLIII also came down to a late touchdown. It was Holmes (named the game’s MVP for his nine-catch, 131-yard performance) who toetapped in the end zone while falling out of bounds to secure the gamewinning touchdown in the Steelers’ come-from-behind 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 6-yard catch in the back of the end zone came with just 35 seconds left in one of the most exciting Super Bowls to date. • Malcolm Butler: Perhaps the most clutch defensive performance ever came in last year’s Super Bowl, when Malcolm Butler secured the Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. With everyone expecting the Seahawks to run the ball from the 1-yard line, Russell Wilson stepped back to pass, surprising everyone except Butler, who stepped in front of Ricardo Lockette for the interception and secured his place in New England Patriots – and Super Bowl - lore.

Young Mormons seek to spread faith, attain spiritual growth through mission trips Members ‘called’ to service through prayer, inspiration Staff report Every echelon of leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints is the result of a member being “called” to voluntarily serve in his or her respective role, said Dale Lyman, a stake president in Parker. Individuals have “free agency” at all times, which means they can decide for themselves whether to accept the position, Lyman said. Unforeseen family circumstances, for example, could be a reason for declining a leadership role. The spouse of each person being called is also asked if he or she will support the other in the position. Callings are determined by lengthy prayer and “done by inspiration,” said Lyman, who was asked to become a stake leader. A church bishop meets with counselors and leaders of each ward to discuss calls. “They will pray to determine through the Holy Ghost who would best serve and benefit from that calling,” he said. Highlands Ranch resident Kristyn Wilcox, who grew up in a Mormon household, jumped at the opportunity to join the women’s leadership structure called the Relief Society. As president of the Relief Society in her 350-member ward in Highlands Ranch, she volunteers on Wednesdays and Sundays to teach young women ages 12-18 about contributing through faith. She organizes and oversees activities and occasional weekend retreats. Wilcox still has fond memories of being in such a group as a youth. “We shared our spiritual thoughts about our savior and our heavenly father and our role here on Earth, but we also had a ton of fun,” she said. “We played kickball, went on hikes, had campfires, and all kinds of good stuff.”

The family unit, said Dale Lyman, a stake president in Parker, lasts forever. “We believe that families last in life as well as in eternity,” Lyman said. “Everything we do as a church is to help the

Guiding others through the gospel is among the main goals, as is contributing to the communities in which they live. The faith-based altruism has grown so strong it has reached beyond the borders of the U.S., where the religion got its start. Today, there are more followers outside of the country than in it — the result is due in large part to widespread outreach. Faith continues on Page 22

Colorado Music Hall of Fame highlights state’s varied scenes When most people think about Colorado music, John Denver is the first name that comes to mind. That’s understandable, especially since his last name is literally the state capital and “Rocky Mountain High” is the state’s co-official song (the other is “Where the Columbines Grow” for you triviaheads out there). There’s a lot more to the Colorado music scene than Mr. Denver, and that’s one of the key messages the Colorado Music Hall of Fame conveys. “We want it so that when anyone comes through the door, there will be someone they recognize,” said Gene “G.” Brown, director of the hall. “We don’t only want to celebrate the heritage of Colorado music, but the current musical community in Colorado.” The hall of fame started in the 1stBank Center in Broomfield. But its outreach was limited, since it could only really be opened during events, Brown explained. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the City and County of Denver, and through Comfort Dental’s sponsorship, the hall was able to set up a more permanent location in June at Colorado’s live music epicenter — Red Rocks. The hall set up shop at Red Rock’s Trading Post, and now is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, which allows not only concertgoers but also trail runners, exercisers and musical pilgrims to stop in and learn about the many gems in Colorado’s music history. As the first inductee in 2011, and the most recognizable name in the state’s musical history, Denver gets pride of place, with a statue outside the trading post and a full room dedicated to memorabilia and facts about his legacy.

his sterling achievements was performing at Red Rocks 17 times. “Instead of trying to set up some kind of hierarchical induction program, we thought it would be better to induct peer groups,” Brown said. “We’ve turned the induction ceremonies into events unto themselves, and we get contemporary musicians to fill the gaps in some

of these lineups.” So far, inductee eras include the ’60s, which included artists like the Astronauts and Flash Cadillac; the folk-rock scene of the ’70s, including Judy Collins, Poco and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; and early promoters Barry Fey and Harry Tuft. The 2016 inductees, announced Jan. 26, focus on Colorado’s jazz scene. Glenn Miller, Paul Whiteman, Lannie Garrett, Max Morath, Billy Murray and Elizabeth Spencer will all be inducted in April. The hope is to soon move on to more contemporary musical figures, Brown said, which could include everyone from Big Head Todd and the Monsters to The Fray and Pretty Lights. As someone who has been immersed in the musical scene for years, both as a fan and writer for The Denver Post, Brown is a veritable fount of knowledge, and he has stories and tidbits about every musical figure. Walking through the hall, he points out facts like how the Astronauts were bigger

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Future’s “Purple Reign,” released as a free mixtape online Review: Future was perhaps the biggest breakout in rap last year, despite having been around for years, and he extends his dominance into 2016 with this tape. The Atlanta rapper still buries his aching heart in woozy beats and codeine mumbles, but here he manages to pull the listener into his broken world.

than The Beach Boys in Japan, or that the Eagles were such acolytes of Poco’s sound they lifted the band’s bass player — twice. But his best stories are the personal ones he’s seen and heard firsthand. Brown tells a beautiful story about local supergroup Sugarloaf’s induction in 2012. At the time, vocalist and keyboardist Jerry Corbetta was battling dementia, and wasn’t expected to play at the ceremony. Because of a little miscommunication, he ended up on stage and in front of his keyboard for the band’s last number. As Brown recalls, at first Corbetta was just playing some basic chords, but before long, his fingers began flying over the keys like he was Beethoven. “I still get choked up thinking about it,” Brown said. “He didn’t know where he was, but he knew when he put his hands on his instrument.” Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week.

The mission of missionaries After completing high school, young men and women in the LDS Church often embark on a voluntary mission to preach the gospel — their destinations determined by church elders. Men go on two-year missions and women for 18 months, said Lyman, who has had four of his six sons serve missions. A fifth — his 18-yearold son — is expecting to learn in the coming weeks where he will serve. Missionaries in south metro Denver traditionally use bicycles or cars to get around and deliver their spiritual message. However, the mode of transportation is up to mission leaders. Aside from receiving a book called “Preach My Gospel” to help guide them through outreach, the decision on who serves a mission mostly comes down to the worthiness of each individual, said Lyman, who went on a mission to Peru when he was 19 years old. “The key thing is that they’re living the church’s standards, they know the testimony of Christ and are following the Ten Commandments,” he said. “They also talk about how the church has impacted them.” Reaching out Kristyn Wilcox, a mother of four who lives in Highlands Ranch, said her son is planning to leave for a mission after completing high school in May. The 18-year-old’s destination has not been decided, but Wilcox is confident he will be kept safe by the mission president and his wife in whichever location he is sent. She expects her son will attain spiritual growth and a new cultural experience. “He had some thinking to do about it, but I think he believes in the

LDS CHURCH BACKGROUND The Book of Mormon, a collection of writings from ancient prophets and record keepers, is a “second witness” to the Bible of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to Dale Lyman, a stake president in Parker. One of these prophets, Lehi, lived in Jerusalem around 600 B.C. God commanded Lehi to lead a small group of people to the American continent. God continued to call prophets among these people. An angel named Moroni told Joseph Smith that a record of the ancient inhabitants of the American gospel enough to be excited about this chance to share his testimony,” Wilcox said. “It’s not only trying to convert people. Missionaries are involved in countless hours of community service wherever they go, and just to Courtesy photo try to make every little corner of the world a better place.” By the end of high school, most teenage boys have a natural urge to explore and engage others, she said. Like others on mission trips, he will be unable to return home for the time he is gone and can call his family only twice a year. But, like Hunter, he will be able to email his family once a week. But the absence is for a good cause, Wilcox said. Her son is “motivated to do this for our church and his personal relationship with heav-

By the inspiration of God, Joseph Smith translated into English the ancient text written on golden plates. The book’s complete title is “The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.” It tells of the resurrected Jesus Christ and His visit to His faithful followers in ancient America. It is named after Mormon, an ancient prophet who made an abridgment of the sacred records of his people.

Although sharing the church’s message was her primary purpose, the trip was never about the number of conversions, she said. Hunter was proud to have had a hand in leading three people to become baptized, the first covenant of the church. A senior couple who initially had reservations was among them. “It was so incredible to see that God has softened the hearts of these people — and they were against it,” Hunter said. “And they had us come back and they accepted.”

Rock Canyon edges ThunderRidge Jaguars attracting attention after 44-43 win By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon might have been an overlooked basketball team at the start of the season, but the Jaguars can’t be labeled a surprise club anymore. After graduating standout guards Mitch Lombard and Tyler Garcia, the Jaguars opened the 2015-16 campaign under the radar. However, the Jaguars are now attracting attention, especially after notching a 44-43 Continental League win over ThunderRidge on Jan. 29 in the Grizzly Den. Rock Canyon, ranked seventh in the CHSAANow.com poll, im-

proved to 5-0 in the league and 16-2 overall. Fifth-ranked ThunderRidge slipped to 3-1 and 15-3 after the loss to the Jaguars. “I don’t think many people know about us,” said Rock Canyon coach Kent Grams, a 2002 graduate of ThunderRidge who played basketball for Grizzlies coach Joe Ortiz. “We know what we have, we’ve been working hard, and we know who we are. These kids deserve credit and respect across the state, and we have to keep working and be ready to play every night. “To beat a team like ThunderRidge with the winning tradition and the things they have already established is amazing.” The win was only Rock Canyon’s second in 11 games played against ThunderRidge.

Key moments ThunderRidge trimmed the Jaguars’ lead to 42-41 after Austin Mueller’s 3-point basket with 38.6 seconds remaining. Three times Rock Canyon had trouble getting the ball inbounds but the Grizzlies were never able to gain control of the basketball. Rock Canyon senior Isaac Hirsch was finally fouled and he sank two free throws with 16.8 seconds on the clock to give the Jaguars a threepoint advantage. “I was confident I was going to make them,” said Hirsch. ThunderRidge missed a 3-point shot and Kaison Hammonds follow basket with three seconds to play accounted for the final score. Jags continues on Page 31

Valor Christian tops Golden with pressure Eagles’ press defense sparks 62-46 win By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian abandoned its 3-point attack in favor of a full-court press defense. The change paid off. The Eagles pulled away in the second half as the press forced Golden out of its offense and into turnovers, which led to a 62-46 Jeffco 4A boys basketball victory Jan. 30 in the Valor Christian gym. Valor, ranked fourth in the CHSAANow.Com Class 4A poll, improved to 15-1 overall and 8-1 in the league. The Eagles’ only loss this season was a 57-44 setback to the Demons on Jan. 8 in Golden. Sixth-ranked Golden slipped to 12-5 and 8-1 in league play. “We wanted to forget about the past and just play our game,” said 6-foot-5 junior Jalen Sanders. “We made an adjustment at halftime to come out and press them a lot harder. They couldn’t really handle the pressure in the second half.” Key Moments With the game tied at 31 early in the third quarter, Valor went on a 14-2 run to grab a 45-33 lead, and the Eagles were never challenged in the fourth quarter. The Demons turned the ball over four times and missed five shots during the Valor surge. Eagles continues on Page 32

Maurice “Stringy” Ervin, who never cut a swimmer during his more than 30 years as coach at Littleton High School, told a poignant story during his recent induction into the Colorado High School Activities Association Hall of Fame. Ervin divulged to the guests in his speech about a junior high teacher warning him not to let a boy come out for the team because he would ruin the program. That individual did come out, and when he was a senior, he participated in the state meet. “After the state meet, we were at Shakey’s Pizza and Jim Benton he was crying by himself back at a table, and I walked OVERTIME back to ask him what the problem was,” Ervin said. “He said, ‘Coach, it’s all over.’ I told him it wasn’t all over — it was just beginning. I gave him the state championship trophy to take home and show his mom. His mom had never come to a swim meet.” Ervin would not disclose the name of the swimmer or any other details. Jess Gerardi, the Englewood High School band director for 20 years, was another of the eight people in the 2015 Hall of Fame class. Gerardi, in his first year at Englewood High School in 1967, had his band perform at a Denver Broncos game. He wanted to do something that no other band had done at a Broncos game. The Pirates played the “1812 Overture” with canons, bells and about blew Mile High Stadium fans off their seats. Two weeks later, he was offered the job as director of entertainment for the Denver Broncos and director of Denver Broncos band. He did that for 30 years, continuing with his duties at Englewood for 20 of those years. The other inductees are Amy Van DykenRouen, swimmer, Cherry Creek; Judy Beardsley, volleyball coach, Merino and Sterling high schools; Natalie Hughes, cross-country/track runner, Palisade; Irv Moss, sports writer; Chuck Williams, basketball player, Denver East; and Art Wollenweber, baseball coach/athletic director, Sheridan. Hockey is her sport of choice Melissa DiPonio played soccer, field hockey, softball and tried figure skating as a youngster. But when it came time to specialize in a sport, she chose hockey. After all her dad built a rink in the backyard and Melissa has been on the Heritage hockey team for the past few seasons. “I had a rink in the backyard when I was growing up and nothing seemed to click as well as hockey did for me,” said DiPonio, a senior at Heritage. DiPonio has three assists this year and is looking for her first goal. “I can’t wait for that,” she said. “My teammates are really trying for me. I’ve been working with coaches and I’m doing my best to get my name out there. Academic wise I’ve been accepted at CU and it would be nice to play there (on Buffs club team). I’ve been in contact with the coach, and my goal is to get to the next level.” DiPonio understands hockey is a physical sport. “I’ll take a hit to set up things that need to happen,” she said. “If I have my head up, I can get out of the way or figure out a way to get around a player. If I put myself in a position where I am getting hit, that just comes with the sport.” Highlands Ranch atop poll The CHSAANow.com Class 5A girls basketball poll that was released Feb. 1 was loaded with six area schools among the top 10. Highlands Ranch was ranked No. 1 and ThunderRidge third. Lakewood was fourth, Ralston Valley sixth, Horizon seventh and Cherry Creek eighth. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

February 4, 2016

Group to honor sportswomen from the area Staff report There are four athletes from the south metro area who will be among 45 honored for their achievements during the 2015 season by the Sportswomen of Colorado at the group’s 42nd annual awards celebration. Mountain Vista’s Mallory Pugh will be honored for her role on the United States U20 women’s soccer team, former Cherry Creek standout Jordyn Colter for high school distance running, Kathy Alfino of Highlands Ranch for amateur triathlon and Valor Christian graduate Janine Beckie for college soccer at Texas Tech. Pugh, a senior, has played in 28 games over the past three seasons for Mountain Vista while spending part of each season with the U.S. National U17 and U20 national teams. She had 24 goals in 10 games during the 2015 campaign for Vista and has 47 goals and 68 points in three high school seasons. She was recently named to the USA 2016 Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship team, and at 17 years old is the youngest player ever to be named to the US WNT Olympic qualifying roster. Colter, now at the University of California, won the 1,600-meter and 800-meter races in record times at last spring’s state track meet. Beckie, a senior who spent last spring and summer in residency with the Canadian National team, led Texas Tech with 14 goals and 31 points during the 2015 season. Alfino, co-owner of Mile High Multisport LLC, is being honored for the third time and will become a member of the Hall of Fame. The Sportswomen of Colorado banquet is scheduled for March 13 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 1, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Guess what, Lamb? You’re about to experience a new perspective on a situation you long regarded quite differently. What you learn could open more opportunities later. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bold Bovine is tempted to charge into a new venture. But it might be best to take things one step at a time so that you know just where you are at any given point. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to go on that fun getaway you’ve been planning. You’ll return refreshed, ready and, yes, even eager to tackle the new challenge that awaits you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child loves to fantasize about magical happenings in the early part of the week. But the sensible Crab gets down to serious business by week’s end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) What goes around comes around for those lucky Leos and Leonas whose acts of generosity could be repaid with opportunities to expand into new and exciting areas of interest. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your concern about your job responsibilities is commendable. But you need to take some quiet time to share with someone who has really missed being with you.

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

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Aspects favor getting out and meeting new people. And as a bonus, you could find that some of your newly made friends could offer important business contacts. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might take pride in wanting to do everything yourself. But now’s a good time to ask family members to help with a demanding personal situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Pay more attention to the possibilities in that workplace change. It could show the way to make that long-sought turn on your career path.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your need to succeed might overwhelm obligations to your loved ones. Ease up on that workload and into some well-deserved time with family and friends. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love rules for amorous Aquarians who can make good use of their ability to communicate feelings. Don’t be surprised if they’re reciprocated in kind. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Fishing for compliments? No doubt, you probably earned them. But it’s best to let others believe they were the ones who uncovered the treasure you really are. BORN THIS WEEK: Your good works flow from an open, generous heart. Nothing makes you happier than to see others happy as well. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

By Scott Stocker Special to Colorado Community Media Legend’s Kyle Stewart came through in an impressive manner and didn’t spend a lot of time on the mats during the tournament. And it was that effort that helped the Titans to a second-place team finish in the Les Mattocks Invitational at Lincoln High School in Denver on Jan. 30. Stewart, a senior, won the title at 220 pounds, thus improving to 38-4, pinning Sierra’s Donavin Bedburdick in just 55 seconds. Yet, it wasn’t his quickest of the day as he pinned his way through his opponents. He only needed 26-seconds to pin Lesley Armenderez of Mountain Vista. He followed with a 1:17 pin against Sheridan’s Ricky Ayala. Thompson Valley was able to come away with the team title as the Eagles scored 154 points. Legend placed second among the 34 teams with 131 points, Adams City was third (120.5), Glenwood Springs, fourth (107.5) and ThunderRidge, fifth (103.5). Jefferson’s Kyle Cisneros, now 36-4, and Alameda’s Fabian Estrada, 28-2, came through with second-place finishes in the tournament. Cisneros lost to Thompson Valley’s Vlad Kazakov, 13-1, while Estrada lost to Myles Wilson, 38-0, of Glenwood Springs due to injury.

Key players/statistics Sam Masten, a 6-foot-3 sophomore, paced the Jaguars with 21 points. He also had five rebounds, two assists and two steals. Hirsch finished with eight points and eight rebounds for Rock Canyon. Clay Verk, a 6-foot-8 senior who will play next season at Stetson University, scored ThunderRidge’s first six points and was the high scorer with 16 markers. Mueller and Hammonds each had eight points. They said it Ortiz said the loss was a “tough loss and a tough pill to swallow.” “I thought the game was won by the fact they got easy baskets and we had none,” he explained. “All the shots we made were six to 20 feet and they got layups. They pushed Clay out from the basket and even though he scored a lot we didn’t get anything at the basket. And when we tried to, we turned it over. They made it a lot tougher to score than we did on them.” It had been seven seasons since Rock Canyon had defeated ThunderRidge. “We found enough ways to make plays at the end of the game,” Masten said.

Family gets in Super Bowl spirit Rivalry pits siblings against one another for big game By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com

A family rivalry blooms as the John children of Parker take a timeout for a snapshot. The siblings can’t agree on who will win Super Bowl 50.

There is growing rivalry in the John family in Parker. To get in the spirit of the 50th Super Bowl, the family dressed in their best sports gear. But something seemed out of place. It turns out the eldest child, Josiah, has taken a liking to the Carolina Panthers, and especially quarterback Cam Newton. “The Panthers will win the Super Bowl because they’ve had a great season. They’re 15-1,” the 7-year-old says. “I’ll be wearing my Cam Newton jersey for the game.” His younger brother, Tobias, 6, begs to differ. He’s backing the Broncos and

will be proudly wearing his Peyton Manning jersey during what could be the future Hall of Fame quarterback’s last game as a pro. Four-year-old Corban chimes in, saying “the Broncos will win because I want them to!” And then there’s 2-year-old Dela, whose favorite part of the Super Bowl will likely be the pizza, says her mom, Kasey. The little cheerleader doesn’t necessarily need to watch the game to have a good time. “I like to whip and nae nae on game day,” said Dela, according to her mom. Their dad, Ishaku John, particularly enjoys the fact that the big game “brings family and friends together.” He adds that “the Broncos will win because they deserve it, and they have worked so hard.” Mom believes the Broncos will take the victory, saying that “Peyton Manning’s going out on top.”

“We went back to a real traditional press for us, and I thought Golden had a good plan,” said Valor coach Troy Pachner. “They didn’t dribble into it very often, but it took them off their base and they got sped up. Sometimes when you press you are not trying to turn them over, you’re trying to change the pace in which they play. That worked.” Key players/statistics Sanders paced the Eagles with 21 points. Junior Kayle Knuckles contributed 12 points and Josh Randle 11. Sanders also added to Valor’s second defensive effort as he helped limit Golden’s Kayden Sund to only four points in the second half. He also had seven of Valor’s 30 rebounds, four assists and four steals. The Eagles were 4-for-22 from 3-point range but finished the game shooting 42 percent from the field. Sund, a 6-5 junior standout, scored 15 of the Demons’ 28 first-half points and wound up with 19 points for the game. They said it “It’s kind of funny, we’re a great 3-point shooting team,” insisted Pachner. “We had not shot well against Golden twice this year for some reason. So what we did at that 14-2 stretch, the defense turned up and almost everything we did was at the rim.” Golden coach John Anderson admitted the Demons’ strategy didn’t work. “The whole game plan against them was take care of the basketball and you’re in the game,” he said. “You rebound and you’re in the game. We’re one of the best rebounding teams in the state, and we got killed on the boards. And the turnovers. They turn you over and convert and took us out of the game. We couldn’t get a flow.” Going forward Valor entertains Conifer Feb. 5 while Golden is at Evergreen.
