MY NAME IS
LAURA PADGETT
Author, dancer and teacher
About me I’m a Denver native, and I live in Lakewood. I have a son who lives in Golden and two stepchildren. One of them is in Wheat Ridge, and the other lives in California. I also have three grandchildren. I worked off and on in the operating room for 25 years. I worked in Montrose, Colorado for a bit, and I spent six years working in Denver. In the operating room, I assisted surgeons. You just did your job and tried to not get emotionally involved. The biggest thing
I took away from my experience is a knowledge of medicine. It’s huge now, because we have to be our own health advocates. If you don’t have any understanding of your body, you are at the mercy of people right now who are for profit. My knowledge of medicine has helped my family, and if something happens, I know what’s going on, and I know what our options are. Dancing through life I earned my master’s degree in storytelling through movement when I was in my 50s. I like to dance, because it’s telling a story. Dance is almost always drama, but if you really pay attention, dancers are telling a story. It’s theater. Everybody I think has an expressive instrument. I’m an Irish step dancer, and
I won a gold medal in Estes Park. I teach sacred dance at my churches. The church I taught at most recently was Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church in Lakewood. Jesus in shorts I named my most recent book “Jesus in Shorts,” because it is a collection of 25 short stories. The stories are mainly about my faith journey. I think whenever we see Jesus we picture him in these robes and garments. I picture him in shorts, because I think he’s a lot simpler than what we’ve made him out to be.

Items of White Fence Farm to be auctioned off Everything from the John Deere tractor to playground equipment will be auctioned off BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When White Fence Farm closed its doors for the final time on Dec. 30, it left behind more than a legacy of serving up its famous fried chicken. Pieces of White Fence Farm need to go, and soon, they’ll be auctioned off. Dickensheet will act as the auction house for the restaurant and Christine Dickensheet, the vice president for Dickensheet, said the auction will have items like the John Deere tractor, decorative items, arcade games, a truck, playground and kitchen equipment, candy stop, an expresso machine and the dining facility. The online auction will hold inspection on Jan. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Jan. 25
Lakewood’s White Fence Farm has been a landmark in the city for the past 40 years. The lights are out now. December 30, 2018 was the restaurant’s final day. FILE PHOTO from 10 a.m. to noon at www.dickensheet.com. White Fence Farm said it was
operating at a net monthly loss, and it struggled with labor shortages. It had been part of the Lakewood com-
munity for over 40 years. “There’s a lot of upkeep with a restaurant of this magnitude, and it’s not just a restaurant,” said Whitney Carlos. Carlos was White Fence Farm’s general manager. She said she’s happy people will have an opportunity to have a piece of the restaurant’s history. “It was pretty much a mini Disneyland that we were trying to keep going. It was amazing to see the outpour from the community once the news broke that we were closing.” Agriculture has always been a key component of Lakewood’s history, and as commercial growth ensued in the city after World War II, restaurants like White Fence Farm were born. Katy Lewis, a museum curator at the Lakewood Heritage Center, said White Fence Farm was a big piece to the growth of Lakewood. “With all that business growth, we want to have a nod, or inclusion of our local history. White Fence Farm did that well,” Lewis said. “They were a business, but they also had that agricultural feel. They’ve been a big part of Lakewood history.”

Sustainability Series Session #1: The Many Facets of Insulating a Detached Home
Tonight, January 17th, is the first of Golden Real Estate’s 6-part Sustainability Series. The topic this week is home insulation. Allow me to introduce the presenters and to share some of what I myself have learned from insulating my own homes and office, and from 17 years of selling homes and being active in the sustainability arena. We have two great presenters at tonight’s session. One is Steve Stevens, whose passion since retiring from Bell Labs has been the conversion of an energy-wasting 1970s brick ranch into a showpiece of sustainability through solar power, energy efficiency and super insulation. In addition to having insulation blown into his attic and walls, he had layers of poly-iso and structural insulated panels added to his exterior walls. Then he went so far as to dig out and expose his home’s foundation walls so poly-iso insulation could be applied to them. He also constructed “air locks” on all entrances, and built a greenhouse on his south-facing exposure — both extremely effective insulating techniques. Several years ago when Steve’s home was on the Golden Solar Tour, I shot a 40 -minute video in which Steve described his home’s sustainability features -- by
far the longest of all the videos I have ever created for homes on that annual tour. I put a link to that video online at JimSmithColumns.com. It’s definitely worth watching. The other presenter is Dennis Brachfield of About Saving Heat. I’ve known Dennis for over 25 years. His company insulated an office building I owned in Denver as well as a couple homes I have owned. Dennis is bringing a blower door to this evening’s session in order to demonstrate its function. Using a fan to depressurize a home, a blower door helps to identify the location and extent of air leaks in a building. Another tool Dennis will illustrate is an infrared camera. By pointing it toward ceilings and exterior walls, the camera shows the difference in surface temperatures, indicating areas that could benefit from air sealing and/or additional insulation. I’ll never forget the time 15 years ago when Dennis blew insulation into the exterior walls of a 1945 wood-frame bungalow I had purchased. The home’s gas forced-air furnace kept the ambient temperature at 70 degrees easily enough, but occupants still felt cold. Dennis pointed out that even if there was insulation in the walls, voids surely existed, due to a combination of sub-par installation and years of settling. I was amazed at how much
The Graying of the Internet — What About Readability? I’ve written before about the subject of readability, both in print and online — a subject that is dear to me not only as a senior citizen with naturally reduced visual acuity, but as a former typographer trained in what makes one font more readable than another. It’s bad enough that more and more publications and most web pages use sans serif fonts like Arial, but there’s another strange trend of graying those typefaces — literally. Have you noticed? The previous paragraph was 100% black Times Roman. These two sentences are 50% black Arial. Not as readable, right? Why publishers and webmasters would choose to reduce the readability of their product in this way is beyond me. It makes no sense!
In an ideal world, sans serif fonts such as Arial would be used only for headlines, bigger and bolder. Isn’t the headline above nice and readable? On the other hand, body text like you’re reading here should be in a serif font such as this Times Roman or, my favorite, Georgia. This paragraph uses the same type size as the previous one, but is in the Georgia font. It’s even more readable. I use it as my default font for emails. You can join me in my quest. Start by changing the default font in your email program to your favorite serif typeface. PS: I can celebrate that starting this week, both this newspaper and the Denver Post are allowing this ad to be in Times Roman instead of a sans serif font, so we are making progress!
more comfortable the house was after having insulation blown in to fill all those voids. What I learned from that experience was that cold walls radiate coldness just as effectively as warm walls radiate warmth. Thus, a room with 70-degree air but cold walls feels cold in comparison to a room with the same air temperature but with walls that aren’t cold. My current home was super-insulated by Bill Lucas-Brown of GB3 Energy. I invited Bill to join us tonight, but he had a previous commitment. On the videos page at www.GB3Energy.com, you can watch a Golden Solar Tour video I shot in which Bill describes his weatherization work, which included insulating the crawl space and the rim joist area. It’s very informative. Here’s a simple way to determine how well insulated your home is. When you go to bed on a cold winter night and turn your thermostat down — let’s say from 71 to 67 — look to see how quickly the home cools to that lower setting, triggering the furnace. If it’s less than a couple of hours, you could probably benefit from improved insulation of your home. I’ve started turning our thermostat down an hour or more before bedtime and I’ve found that the temperature doesn’t drop
enough to trigger the furnace until 3 a.m. or later. When your home is that “tight” it’s important to ensure the introduction of enough fresh air to maintain good indoor air quality. For that, consider installing an “energy recovery ventilator,” or ERV. This device replaces a standard vent fan with a heat exchanger that warms incoming fresh air by extracting heat from the interior air that is being exhausted. The ERV’s function will be explained in our session — or you can Google “energy recovery ventilation.”
Tonight’s Session on Insulation Is Full, But Will Be Archived
With 30 sign-ups, we have no room for more attendees at tonight’s opening session of our Sustainability Series. However, we will, as with all future sessions, archive a video of the session by the following day at www.SustainabilitySeries.info. There are 10 or more people already registered for each of the remaining five monthly sessions, described on that same website. Register by emailing Jim@GoldenRealEstate.com.

‘There’s only so long that I can hold out’ As the U.S. government shutdown continues, Federal Center workers yearn to get back to work
down started, and he recently visited Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s office. “I love my job, it’s never a problem for me to go in,” said Sabel, a Lakewood resident. “I was dedicated to the cause — and this is what I get.” Sabel is married and has an 89-yearold mother he assists financially. “I’m tired of being a pawn in these guys’ games,” he said. Gy Moody is a contractor for the Bureau of Land Management, and he has been out of work since the shutdown’s first day. All of his coworkers love what they do, he said, and they don’t deserve to be out of work. “I’m trying to figure out how to make $500 stretch another two weeks. The chaos of not knowing what’s going to happen is the hardest part,” said Moody, who lives in Wheat Ridge. “I’ve probably put five miles in just pacing back and forth. Everyone I know just wants to go back to work. We just want our lives back.” Trump recently stated that he is prepared to continue the partial government shutdown for “months, or even years.” “Any federal worker I talk to — they’re all invested in their jobs,” Sabel said. “Who is running this country, man? “We didn’t elect Rush Limbaugh. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I never thought I would see anything like this.”

Jake Slyder was planning on taking his wife on a hot springs vacation to celebrate their two-year anniversary — but the U.S. government partial shutdown forced him to cancel those plans. Slyder is one of the more than 50,000 federal workers in Colorado who has been out of work since the U.S. government partial shutdown took effect Dec. 22. As he waits to return to his job, Slyder picked up a job driving for the transportation service Lyft. “The biggest thing is the psychological effects — the uncertainty and anxiety,” said Slyder, a Wheat Ridge resident. Slyder is a contract geospatial imaging specialist for the Bureau of Land Management. He declined to say which company he works for, because he wanted to speak as an individual about his own experience. “We have some money tucked away. But how long will (the government shutdown) go on
The Denver Federal Center in Lakewood employs many federal employees. for? There’s only so long that I can hold out. It’s important to let people hear what people in our situation are going through.” The U.S. government went into a partial shutdown when President Donald Trump requested more than $5 billion from Congress to be added to federal spending legislation to pay for a wall on the Mexico border. The previous federal spending legislation expired Dec. 21, and when Democrats strongly opposed funding Trump’s wall, he refused to step down

The Federal Center is a 623-acre campus that is home to 28 different federal agencies spread across 44 office buildings. In his 32 years with the government, this is his fourth time dealing with a shutdown as a federal employee. Sabel said he’s called Sen. Cory Gardner multiple times each day since the shut-

Man connected to 1984 hammer murders may be extradited soon Alex Christopher Ewing is currently sitting in a Nevada prison BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Alex Christopher Ewing, a 58-year-old inmate in Nevada who is wanted in two deadly hammer attacks that occurred in 1984 in Aurora and Lakewood, lost an appeal of an extradition order.
Nevada’s Supreme Court granted a motion filed by the state of Nevada requesting expedited consideration of Ewing’s appeal on Jan. 7. Ewing will still have until April 15 to file appeal documents. Last August, Lakewood and Aurora police announced that Ewing is the primary suspect in the deaths of 50-year old Patricia Louise Smith in Ewing Lakewood on Jan. 10, 1984, and Bruce and Debra Bennett and their 7-year-old daughter Melissa, on Jan. 16

of that same year in Aurora. Vanessa, the daughter of the Bennetts who was only three at the time, survived the attack, but she suffered from lifethreatening injuries. Ewing is accused of using a hammer to kill Smith and a different hammer to kill the Bennetts. Smith was sexually assaulted, and a hammer was left at the scene of her death at her Lakewood condo. The Bennetts were discovered dead at their house by Bruce Bennett’s mother. Ewing, who is already serving a 40-year sentence in Nevada, was originally convicted for an unrelated attempted murder and use of a deadly weapon in Arizona. He is eligible for parole on July 1, 2021.
DNA evidence tested in 2010 connected the Smith and Bennett murders to one person. Colorado Bureau of Investigation Director John Camper said Nevada uploaded Ewing’s DNA to the FBI’s national data base — allegedly revealing that he was linked to the Lakewood and Aurora murders. Ewing has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder after deliberation, three counts of felony murder, attempted first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree sexual assault, first degree assault, two counts of sexual assault on a child, one count of first-degree burglary and five violent crime accounts.

Former Lakewood Police officer arrested again Randall Shaun Butler was arrested on suspicion of multiple charges, including criminal attempt sex assault BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For the second time in weeks former Lakewood Police officer Randall Shaun Butler has been arrested for an alleged sex assault. On Jan. 8, the Lakewood Police Department arrested Butler on suspicion of criminal attempt sex assault, unlawful sexual contact, first degree official misconduct Butler and official oppression, according to a release from the police department. Butler, who is 37, allegedly had unlawful sexual conduct with a woman while giving her a ride home when he was on-duty on June 8 of last year. He was arrested on Dec. 5 by the Denver Police Department for sexual assault allegations in which he allegedly drove a woman to a vacant parking lot in the area of 25th and Sheridan and sexually assaulted her on Nov. 16.
Butler resigned from his position with Lakewood on Nov. 26. Lakewood Police asked if there were more victims of Butler when he was originally arrested in December, and the latest victim contacted the police department, according to John Romero, a spokesperson for the Lakewood Police Department. “All of us at the Lakewood Police Department are thinking of the victims in this case. As I’ve said before, actions such as these will never be tolerated” said Lakewood Police Chief Daniel McCasky in a statement. “These despicable actions in no way represent the men and women of the Lakewood Police Department who are committed to serving and protecting our community with integrity.” The Lakewood Police Department is in the midst of investigating the allegations against Butler and are looking into other possible misconduct by him. The police department is asking people to call its tip-line at 303-7636800 if there is any other information on Butler’s actions.

ow can local communities encourage and facilitate active lifestyles among their residents? How can they increase access to and use of gyms and recreational facilities? How can parents encourage children to be more active? These are intriguing questions posed by researchers in their recent report on the “Best & Worst Cities for an Active Lifestyle.” In the study published by WalletHub, a personal finance website, the Denver area scored in the top 10 best at #8. Perhaps not surprisingly, Honolulu ranked #1, with (perhaps surprisingly) cities such as Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D.C., preceding us. Colorado Springs weighed in at #33, and Aurora, which was evaluated separately, landed at #55. Hialeah, FL, was dead last at #100, beating out
North Las Vegas and ALCHEMY Bakersfield, CA, for the bottom spot. Colorado communities took three out of the five top spots for “lowest percentage of physically inactive adults.” Colorado Springs ranked third behind Portland and Seattle, and Denver and Aurora tied for Andrea Doray fourth with Raleigh, NC. In any such ranking exercise, researchers consider multiple factors. For example, the authors looked at the numbers, per capita, of swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts, fitness centers, baseball and softball diamonds, soccer fields, and – par-
ticularly beneficial for our rankings – hiking, walking, running and biking trails. As fun and interesting as these results might be, however, it’s those questions above that seem to be the heart of the issue. As the authors noted, “… maintaining a healthy lifestyle not only improves quality of life, but it’s also a much cheaper alternative to fighting and preventing illness.” The researchers consulted experts like Susan G. Zieff, Ph.D., Director, Active Living Across the Lifespan Research Group at San Francisco State University to ask their opinions about access to and use of recreational facilities. Dr. Zieff noted that accessible community resources help ensure that residents’ individual health is not dictated by the neighborhoods where they live.

With the beginning of this new year, many of us are evaluating – or re-evaluating – our goals for a healthy life. For some, like me, losing weight is a part of that equation, although I’m more focused on my overall health than on how my jeans fit. Strength, stamina and the ability to enjoy mountain biking, golf and rock climbing are my objectives, with a major emphasis on preventing illness and disease. Also, with both new and returning state and local governments as well as new state leadership in the governor’s office, we have additional opportunities to consider our communities’ goals for healthy lifestyles and how we as residents can help.

talent, was left in absolute control of that draft. I am mindful of the fact that the Broncos won a Super Bowl recently, just three years ago. Pat Bowlen stepped aside and left the leadership situation of the Broncos in limbo in the summer of 2014. But organizations have the capacity to ride momentum, just like players do. By the time Bowlen stepped aside, Peyton Manning was in charge of the culture, the organization had already decided to build up the defense, and a re-shaping was already taking place. It came to fruition 18 months later. But the cracks were already starting to form, and a few years’ worth of the stresses of the NFL brought them to a head. Does Elway draft Paxton if Pay Bowlen is still in place? Maybe, but he does it with a lot more input from other

Dr. Zieff, as quoted in the study, said, “Increasing safety in neighborhoods and providing destinations such as parks will encourage people to be more active.” She suggests strategies such as bike lanes, open space and parks, sidewalks and adequate lighting.

people, and with a lot more accountability for that decision. Does Elway get to put Mike Shanahan in place like he wanted to last summer if Pat Bowlen is still around? Would VJ have been held accountable at that time? Again, maybe—but it wouldn’t have been his decision alone. The buck would have stopped on someone else’s desk. And, ultimately, what a fractured leadership situation creates is a crisis of accountability, and that tends to have a carryover effect into such things as on-field performance. When nobody is in charge, nobody is in charge. So now they have a new head coach, after a bit of a strange process. Will his presence be enough to settle some of the odd organizational dynamics at play? Maybe. But I have my doubts. “Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children.

I retired from medicine about 6 years ago and as a part-time job took up dog walking. This has been a very rewarding experience.

Since Hill, there have been seven state COMING laureates, ATTRACTIONS poet including the current one, Joseph Hutchison. And soon there will be an eighth. Nominations for the position are open for submissions through Feb. 1. One poet will be selected by Clarke Reader Gov. Jared Polis to serve a four-year term beginning in July 2019. “We seek a poet who can inspire others to create and share their work while sharing his or her own work with Colorado communities,” said Josephine Jones, director of Programs and Center for the Book with Colorado Humanities. “The poet laureate promotes an appreciation of poetry in Colorado and to honor outstanding Colorado poets. The poet laureate serves as an active advocate for poetry, literacy, and literature by participating in readings and other events.” According to information provided by the Colorado Humanities, which works with Colorado Creative Industries and literary leaders to provide suitable applicants to the governor, the selection of poet laureate is based on “artistic excellence, which includes publications by reputable poetry journals and presses, and a demonstrated history of community service in the advancement of poetry, as well as the ability to present poetry effectively” through public events. While poetry might seem like just another feature of the arts scene, Hutchison sees it as bigger than that. “Poetry is the language of freedom: free thinking, free feeling, free imagination. It reaches beyond `the arts scene’ and (ideally) enters the individual lives of readers,” he said.

without going broke A skier skis through the powder at Loveland Ski Resort.
Knowing how to save money can take some sting out of skiing BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
V
ail and Beaver Creek resorts recently announced their day passes jumped to $209 per day at the door, a new all-time high, serving as a reminder that a day on the slopes is anything but cheap. Frequent skiers and riders can curb the steep day pass prices by purchasing season-long passes through Epic or Ikon. Those passes provide unlimited access to a number of big resorts, but are only available at the beginning or early in the season. For the casual skier, taking a day trip up to the mountains can get expensive fast. There’s the day pass, with face values of anywhere from $150 to $200, along with rentals, gear, food and transportation. But a day on the slopes doesn’t have to break the bank. For keen ski shoppers, September is the time to buy. It’s typically the point in the year when season passes are at their cheapest and a slew of sales on gear and clothing are underway across the metro area, including Ski Rex at Epic Mountain Gear stores and the Powder Daze Sale in vari-
ous Christy Sports stores across the Front Range. But there are still ways you can save on skiing, even midway through the season. January is “learn to ski and ride month” at most resorts, and deals can be found for beginning skiers. Finding a lessons package may be the best option for getting the most bang for your buck. Some resorts offer a package of a lift ticket, rentals and gear and instruction for cheaper than what each would cost separately. Knowing where to go can help you get the most out of your ski day. Brittany Smith, with the Colorado Mountain Club, a nonprofit organization that educates people on outdoor recreation, said pre-planning is the best way to save money. But also finding some less-crowded resorts can end up saving you a lot of money. “Ski resorts almost penalize you for your sponetaity,” Smith said. “They’re making you pay the most if you come last minute, but they give you a break if you pre-plan. Pre-plan at least a week ahead of time, if not more. “Your ski day is about what you make it to be, and I think that’s important.” Here are some tips on ways to save and ski: Passes Chris Linsmayer, public affairs director for Colorado Ski Country USA, a nonprofit trade organization repre-
COURTESY OF DUSTIN SCHAFER
senting 23 ski and snowboard resorts, said the key to saving money for a day of skiing or riding is planning. “The earlier you are purchasing tickets or purchasing rentals or purchasing lodging, the more money you’re going to save,” Linsmayer said. “It’s about knowing what you want to do.” But what about those Friday afternoon impulses to get some powder, or a sudden blizzard that promises a couple inches of the fresh stuff ? Finding day passes under $100 can be tricky, especially is you’re looking at some of the larger juggernaut resorts. Colorado Ski Country USA has a list on its website, ColoradoSki.com, of some of the lesser-known spots in the state that are good for a solid day of skiing — fittingly listed under the tab “Gems.” Liftopia.com is a good source to find discounted tickets for up to 50 percent off day passes. Local shops like King Soopers, Christy Sports and Colorado Ski and Golf can offer discounts on day passes as well.

recommends finding shops that are willing to sell demo gear at a discount once it’s been lightly used for a couple seasons. In that case, Lee said, you just have to ask around. For infrequent or inexperienced skiers, Linsmayer recommends buying your own boots, which makes it easier to try out different types of skis or boards. When it comes to renting, Lee agrees booking early is the way to go. And where you rent can also make a huge different in your budget. “Even renting at a Christy Sports in Denver versus in the mountains will save a few bucks,” Lee said. “Generally, renting in resort areas — even if it’s not from the resort — will be more expensive.” For kids Encouraging kids to ski is huge for the industry, Lee said, so there are tons of ways to save on kids’ tickets. Christy Sports offers a Kids Bundle of season rentals and a season pass
READER FROM PAGE 12
Lesser-known ski areas offer a lot of bang for buck
with some resort partners, and kids under 12 get free rentals with a fourday adult ski rental. Several areas offer free skiing for kids as well, when accompanied by an adult pass. Colorado Ski Country offers a Fifth Grade Passport program, which provides three days of skiing at 22 ski areas — 66 days of total ski-
ing or riding — for free. There is also a sixth-grade program that is $125 for four days of skiing. Both program registration deadlines are the end of January. Transportation Interstate 70 is famous for its miles-long bumper-to-bumper traffic
during ski season. Sitting through traffic can be the most dreadful part of a ski day, one that wastes time and money. Smith recommends seeking out mountains off I-70, or ones closer to the Front Range, to avoid this problem. “Finding places that are not on I-70 can be saving in itself,” Smith said. Smith recommended visiting goI70. com for information on traffic and transit options for people who don’t want to drive themselves. SkiCarpool.com is a ride-sharing message board for people looking to save money on the trip up, while making a few friends in the process. SkiCarpool is a nonprofit organization facilitating rides up to the mountains in Colorado.

Lakewood drains a dozen 3-pointers in win Running back has been quite a catch

LAKEWOOD — Lakewood’s girls basketball teams looks and has to operate a lot differently this season. The Tigers have been going through life after the Emsbo twins. Camilla and Kira — 6-foot-5 forwards who are now playing for Yale and Princeton — helped Lakewood to 86 victories and three Class 5A Jeffco League titles over their four-year run with the Tigers. “They (5A Jeffco teams) don’t care about our graduation,” Lakewood coach Chris Poisson said about the new-look Tigers. “There are teams who haven’t beaten us in six or more years. They don’t care who is on the court for us. We have to be mentally ready for that.”
Lakewood looked ready Jan. 10 in a home game against Fairview. The Tigers shot well from long range making a dozen 3-pointers in a 60-43 victory. Eight of the 3-pointers came in the opening half. The junior guard tandem of Nadia Trevizo-Medina (13 points) and Aaliyah Sabala (12 points) buried three 3-pointers each by halftime. The 5-foot-5 guards don’t have the luxury of having the Emsbo twins getting most of the attention defensively anymore. However, the Tigers’ shooters adjusted well against the Knights (3-9 record). “It’s about quick release now,” Trevizo-Medina said of having more 3-pointer challenged. “I was also used to just kicking it in down low. Now I’ve got to go inside and make moves inside.”
Senior Maddy Hubych showed off some nifty moves on her way to a game-high 18 points for the Tigers (39). Hubych dominated the second half scoring 13 points after halftime. “She (Hubych) is working so hard. The improvement she has made since December is leaps and bounds,” Poisson said. “Obviously, that’s going to help with Aalyah and Nadia getting shots. She is so strong and we need her to be that.” Freshman Juliette Fillion helped Lakewood build its lead to 20-plus points in the third quarter with a pair of 3-pointer herself. The Tigers led by as much a 25 points early in the fourth quarter. SEE LAKEWOOD, P17
Standout Performers Marissa Chatman, Wheat Ridge The senior scored a double-double, with 10 rebounds and 17 points, in what was an eventual loss to Standley Lake, 4742, on Jan. 11.
Girls varsity relay teams, Golden High The relay teams won the Jan. 11 Jeffco 4A relay team competition. Golden girls swam to first place in the 200 free and 400 free relays, and second in the 200 medley.
Aneus Olsen, Arvada High The guard was part of the trio of seniors that helped ensure the Bulldogs won the Jan. 10 game against Aurora West College Prep, 63-38. Olsen served as his team’s best long-range threat, draining three 3-pointers as part of his 14-point performance.
Caleb Clark, Faith Christian The 6’1” sophomore likely has a bright future on the court. He only took three shots in his team’s Jan 11 drubbing of conference opponent Stargate School, 74-44. But all three shots, including two from beyond the arc, went in.
Maddie Phillips, Green Mountain The 6’2” junior put up 10 points, and came down with 10 rebounds in the Rams’ 67-32 home conference win against Golden.

ax Borghi played a lot of football for Washington State University during the 2018 season, and he was only a freshman. Borghi was a standout at Pomona and had all the tools to make OVERTIME an impact in a Division I program but many times it takes a while for young players to adapt to college life and football. He is often compared to former Valor Christian Jim Benton and Stanford star Christian McCaffrey, who now plays for the Carolina Panthers. Borghi and McCaffrey used to talk and workout together but Borghi passed on offers from Stanford and Colorado to attend Washington State. “Overall as far as my performance, I had a decent season but nowhere near where I want to be,” said Borghi. “It was a good, fun season, for sure. I still have a ton of work to do. The season allowed me to see where I need to work on things more.” Borghi, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back, was the team’s second leading rusher with 366 yards and eight touchdowns on 72 carries. He caught 53 passes for 374 yards and four TDs. Probably the correct position to list Borghi as playing would be allpurpose back, since running backs in coach Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense have to play a different role. Leach talked about what is expected from a running back in the Washington State offense following a 31-7 win over CU on Nov. 10 in a game that saw Borghi score on a 28-yard scoring reception. “You have to rush, catch and block,” Leach told reporters. “Not just one of the three. You have to do all three.” That was a change which Borghi took as a challenge. “This offense is a little bit different for a running back,” he said. “I think I adjusted well. Catching to the ball in open space is pretty nice and making the defender miss. “The offense is pretty cool, it’s pretty fun to make the defender miss and just get going.” Borghi continued: “You don’t have to take the beating of rushing the ball through the line every play. It seems like the NFL is starting to have running backs catch the ball a lot more, so that’s setting me up for success in the future.”

“Once we getting hitting those (3-pointers) is raises the energy and gets everyone up,” Hubych said. “It’s really beneficial to hit those 3-pointers.” It was the first victory since the end of the winter break for Lakewood. However, Poisson liked the way his team played in a loss to Vista PEAK Prep on Tuesday. “We are playing the best we’ve played all year heading into a tough stretch,” Poisson said. Lakewood hit the road to face 5A Jeffco rival Ralston Valley earlier this week on Tuesday, Jan. 15. It wasn’t be a conference game — that comes later Feb. 6 at Lakewood. The Tigers begin their 8-game conference schedule at Dakota Ridge on Saturday, Jan. 19. “There are a lot of outside opinions about how were are going to do

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Taking some time out of your usually busy social life could be just what you need to help you focus on putting those finishing touches on your plans for a possible career change. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A misunderstanding about a colleague’s suggestions could create a delay in moving on with your proposal. But by week’s end, all the confusing points should finally be cleared up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel overwhelmed by all the tasks you suddenly have to take care of. But just say the magic word — help! — and you’ll soon find others rushing to offer much-needed assistance. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Finishing a current project ahead of schedule leaves you free to deal with other upcoming situations, including a possible workplace change, as well as a demanding personal matter. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Turn that fine-tuned feline sensitivity radar up to high to help uncover any facts that could influence a decision you might be preparing to make. Devote the weekend to family activities. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A state of confusion is soon cleared up with explanations from the responsible parties. Don’t waste time chastising anyone. Instead, move forward with your plans.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel obligated to help work out a dispute between family members. But this is one of those times when you should step aside and let them work out their problems on their own. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your ability to resolve an on-the-job problem without leaving too many ruffled feathers earns you kudos from co-workers. You also impress major decision-makers at your workplace. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Newly made and longheld friendships merge well, with possibly one exception. Take time to listen to the dissenter’s explanations. You could learn something important. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be prepared to be flexible about your current travel plans. Although you don’t have to take them, at least consider suggestions from the experts in the travel business. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A problem with a recent financial transaction could lead to more problems later on unless you resolve it immediately. Get all the proof you need to support your position. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Daydreaming makes it difficult to stay focused on what you need to do. But reality sets in by midweek, and you manage to get everything done in time for a relaxing weekend. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to reach out to those in need of spiritual comfort makes you a much-revered, much-loved person in your community. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.
