40 West draws creativity ART @ 6 sets up at in-demand 40 West Studios By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com The 40 West Arts District has been among the leaders of the West Colfax renaissance, and the organization’s efforts are bearing a variety of fruits. One of them is the new ART @ 6 gallery and studio, created by Vikki and Brian King as a place to work on and display their fine art, jewelry and décor. “We looked at other arts districts all over Colorado, but the overhead costs were just too high,” Brian said, who moved to the area from Albuquerque, New Mexico. “We had lost hope, but on the way out of town we decided to stop by 40 West, and that changed everything.”
Bill Marino, chair of the district, has been one of 40 West’s greatest champions. In this case he provided all the information needed for the Kings to fall in love with the area. “There is no pretense, and it was so welcoming here,” Brian said. “At many of the other districts we looked at, there was friendliness but no openness, and that’s a big difference.” The Kings set up ART @ 6 in the new 40 West Studios building, located at 1615 Reed St. The studio have long been a goal of Marino and the district. After being open for just three months, it’s already full. “There are 16 spaces in the building — a building that we as a district lease to these artists,” Marino explained. “The studios have a great vibe, and there’s a wonderful group of creatives there.”

The group campaigned against what they described as reckless housing development. They called for more local government transparency, and were supported by some on the council who found

Estimated 12,500 weekday riders using service By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lakewood resident Alisha Eversole and her husband recently moved from Denver, where they used the light rail for any trip that wasn’t walking distance. But although the transition from city to suburban life has been a bit bumpy, she said, one facet hasn’t changed: She can still take the light rail for those longer trips. “Having the W Rail readily available almost makes me forget that I’m no longer living in an urban For more information area,” Eversole on the W Rail stasaid. tions, schedule and It will be three tickets, visit www. years in April rtd-denver.com/ since the W Rail WestRailLine.shtml carried its first riders up and down the corridor. Years of planning, construction and development finally brought the completion of the first of RTD’s FasTracks projects. There are 11 stations along the line. Now, with the East Line out to Denver International Airport and the Gold Line to Arvada and Wheat Ridge nearing completion, the W Rail is a window into the future for many communities. With a current W Rail ridership of about 12,500 weekday riders, RTD is still finding ways to fine-tune service for riders. “It is not uncommon for us to reevaluate service changes that we instituted around opening of rail lines at the request of our customers,” wrote Tina Jaquez, RTD public relations manager, in an email interview. “Many times we receive feedback from our riders that indicates the changes we made with the new rail line do not work well for the community. So we take a look at that and make further adjustments after a line opens.” When the line first opened, many residents were concerned about changes in bus routes. RTD held several meetings to make the necessary adjustments. “Initially, I think ridership was a little less than they (RTD) were expecting,

Health department launches new communitywide plan to cover 5 years
CCU student, Bill Gordon Award recipient
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
About me I was born in Wray, and our family moved to Flagler, where my family still lives today. I graduated from Flagler High School with nine other kids in my class — it was a pretty small town. I came to Colorado Christian University because both of my older brothers attended here, and whenever we came to visit them I liked the campus and the vibe here. My twin sister Morgan was also admitted here, so it’s nice to have family close. I’ll be graduating early, so I’m a senior a semester early. I’m studying communications, with a minor in business. The Bill Gordon Award This award was truly a blessing. It’s given by the Rocky Mountain Agribusinesses Association, and my dad is a member of the organization. He was always telling us we should get more involved with the group. My dad is very much invested in agriculture back home, and I worked with him a lot during harvest times. Flagler is extremely agriculture based, and it’s an area I think is fascinating and enjoyable. Often, people don’t think about where their food comes from, but I’ve seen it on a personal basis. Applying for the award involved finding people to write me letters of recommendation and writing about topics like how I’m going to use my major to help the world. I did my best to find people who would give me a fair assessment. As a winner, I received $1,500, which will certainly help me a lot. In my free time... I work at Chick-fil-A, which I really enjoy. When I’m not working, I generally love to be
To help improve the community’s overall health, Jefferson County Public Health is introducing the Community Health Improvement Plan that will focus on six strategies to increase physical activity, health eating and overall mental well-being.
The program, also known by its acronym CHIP, reflects the department’s priority on health equity, said Donna Viverette, the county’s health education supervisor. That equity can be achieved by addressing the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, learn and age, she added. CHIP was developed based on the results of two comprehensive assessments in 2013 on the county’s community health and public health system capacity. The community health survey Health continues on Page 3

I like to be with my family and friends and have as many adventures as possible. Looking toward the future The relationships I’ve built here at CCU have been my favorite part of being here, because they’ve all been so substantial and long-lasting. There’s a sense here of everyone coming together, and it’s nice having that feeling. I’m not sure what I want to do upon graduating — I’ve been considering a lot of options. I’ve thought about accounting or real estate, but right now I’m trying to learn as much as I can.

They were linked to five common risk factors — poor diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and exposure, alcohol use and chronic psychosocial stress.

Each of the CoINs is working toward creating coalitions or councils consisting of community partners. The community partners include local organizations, such as schools or farmers’ markets, and residents. “Everyone has the opportunity to attain their highest level of health,” Viverette said. “Everyone deserves an equal chance to be healthy and thrive.”

the homes they have found. I have one seller is the latter situation, and they have been there for months. I will be listing their Arvada home, but only after they’re under contract for their next home. Some buyers — including two of my clients — are finding exactly what they want by buying a new home from a home builder. The nice thing about buying from a home builder is that the listed price is what you’ll pay — no bidding against other buyers. You choose the finishes and floor plan you want and just have to wait for it to be built. There are some cautions I give to new home buyers, however. One is to make sure you identify yourself as having a Realtor agent before you register your name at any sales office. Many builders will not compensate the buyer’s agent if he or she doesn’t accompany you on your first visit. This advice is for your benefit, because you still want and need professional representation.
That’s because (1) home builders write their own builder-friendly contracts instead of using the buyer-friendly state contracts required on all resales; and (2) you’ll want guidance on inspecting the new home at various stages of construction plus referral to a buyer-friendly lawyer to interpret the builder-friendly contract for you. And if you have a home to sell, you can negotiate a lower listing commission with your Realtor if you let him or her earn a commission on your new home purchase. As I wrote last week, the group which will continue to suffer the most from this kind of market — we should really call it a “crisis” rather than a market — are our wounded warriors and other veterans, because buyers using VA loans simply can’t compete with conventional borrowers. FHA borrowers are in the same boat, because both VA and FHA appraisers make demands on sellers that can be excessive and make any seller well-advised to discriminate against their offers, which they can do legally.

A showcase for women By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
For the second year, the 40 West Arts District hosted the Athena Project’s kick-off art show. And this year was even bigger than the last. “This is a great opportunity to showcase women in the arts,” said Liz Black, a 40 West Arts member, at the Jan. 27 exhibit opening. “As a community arts organization, we want to be a hub for all kinds of groups in the district.” This year’s exhibit is entitled “Point of Departure” and is on display through Feb. 12. All the works show a clear progression for each artist. Angela Astle, executive producer of Athena, explained each work was based on a previous work, which allows the viewer to see the artists’ interpretive exploration. Curator Michele Brower selected a variety of artists, including Hobie Aldrich, Maeve Leslie and Vicky Smith. The work of students at Denver School of the Arts, Lakewood High School, George Washington High School and Rocky Mountain College of Art and
Design are also on display. “The students are at a point where they’re departing from their schools into their art careers,” Astle said. Many of the artists, their family and friends all turned up to show their support of the show. The gallery brimmed with more than 50 people, many of whom — like Ron Abo — stopped by to simply see the art. “I’m here because I’m a friend of one of the artists,” said Jeri, a Lakewood resident. “I think this is one of the best exhibits she’s been a part of, and I really love her photographs.” In addition to being a dynamic exhibit, “Point of Departure” is also the kick-off for Athena’s annual festival, which will be this spring at various locations throughout Denver. The project makes this kind of work a priority, not just for women, but for everyone. “There are women who still initial their art because they’re worried they will be judged if people know they’re a woman,” Astle said. “We want to change that.”
professional communication from its government. “There’s a difference between honest and respectful disagreement and nasty and disrespectful disagreement,” he said. “There are times when it gets emotional, but I always tried to run our meetings in a professional manner.” With the balance of power on council now leaning more toward the anti-establishment approach, shifts can already be seen. In the Jan. 25 vote over the city’s charitable giving program, the passing vote was 6-5 — closer than council had seen in some time, with the anti-establishment candidates on the losing side. “This kind of culture is how it should be — it should be the norm to have this kind of discussion,” Johnson said. “There shouldn’t be just a few people speaking. Everyone should be free to talk about the issue.” As the new mayor, Adam Paul said he is responsible for setting an inclusive tone for all on council, no matter their beliefs. “My main goal is to make sure everyone is heard,” he said. “That allows us to focus on the reason we’re all here — to get the citizens’ work done.” So far, nothing has been specifically covered regarding civility in new councilmember trainings, according to Ward 2 Councilwoman Sharon Vincent and Ward 5 Councilwoman Dana Gutwein. But maintaining a comfortable atmosphere is important for everyone. “We all understand and believe different things,” Gutwein said. “I think a great rule for us would be to challenge the ideas, not the people.” From the beginning, Vincent said all councilmembers have been respectful of each other and accepting of the fact that different perspectives make for better discussions. “Everyone wants things to go smoothly as possible, and that’s a step in the right direction,” Johnson said. “I don’t care how people vote, because once we vote the issue is behind us, and we need to be able to move forward and talk afterward.” City Manager Kathy Hodgson brings a positive attitude to the new council, Gutwein said, and Wiechman added that staff also appears willing to take new approaches to the process. But he warned about letting too much civility lead to a lack of discussion and debate. “You don’t want to get carried away with this. It’s one thing to be civil, but another to go along just to get along,” he said. “If we can still have independent thinkers and be civil in the process, that’s the perfect world.”

Mines students start rebuilding Nepal school School, destroyed in earthquake, has links to Golden
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com For three days, 12 Colorado School of Mines students dug holes in Nepal that will hold septic tanks at the Chaurikharka school, work that officially kicked off the rebuild project of the school destroyed by last year’s earthquake. The Chaurikharka school is located in the Khumbu Valley, near the base of Mount Everest in the Himalayas. The area was one of the hardest hit from the April 25 earthquake, and the school is where local business owner and Goldenite Lhakpa Sherpa earned his high HIKE FOR school diploma.

At least 90 Nepalese people — children to seniors — benefitted from the clothing and hygiene donations that Goldenites dropped off at the Sherpa House in downtown Golden after the April 25 earthquake, which severely damaged much of the small country. Photos courtesy of Lhakpa Sherpa management/Building Back Better committee. The check, Sherpa said, is thanks to the generosity of the people of Golden, who donated money through Hike for Help online or at Sherpa House. Also helping was Sherpa Brewery Pvt. Ltd, which partners with Golden City Brewery. And it wasn’t only funds that people wanted to give to Nepal. After the earthquake, many brought clothing and hygiene products to the Sherpa House, Sherpa. So, the Mines students hiked for two days to deliver the items to the Dalit community of Sano Gumelav, which is north of the Chaurikharka school. At least 90 people, children to seniors, received blankets, clothes, toothpaste and brushes, school
supplies and some other various hygiene products. Although the Chaurikharka school has a long way to go—Sherpa expects the project will take three years to complete— the trip was a success. The Mines students
instilled confidence in the project, Sherpa said. “They got to put their hands on the project,” he said. “All the volunteers made a big difference. (And) they brought back memories they will never forget.”
HEALTH CLINIC NEAR THE TOP OF THE WORLD Another Hike for Help project is building a small, $30,000 health clinic in Thaksindu Hewa Village, Solukhumbu Nepal, which is near the base of Mount Everest and south of the Chaurikharka school. A team of two doctors, three nurses and two pharmacists from across the U.S. traveled to the village with Golden business owner Lhakpa Sherpa’s nonprofit Hike for Help organization. For three days, from Nov. 30-Dec. 3, the Americans worked with one Nepalese doctor and one Nepalese nurse to provide a general check-up to 237 villagers — infants to seniors. A number of people had high blood pressure, Sherpa said, and they received immediate treatment and medication for up to six months. Pregnant women received a supply
of prenatal vitamins, and the biggest needs were arthritis medication and multivitamins for children. People received a vision test and eyeglasses if needed, and many oral care products were given out. “I feel that we really helped with saving their lives,” Sherpa said. “It was a wonderful experience to see the doctors and nurses from two different parts of the world working together.” This was the first health clinic in the village. Villagers must hike two days to the nearest hospital, Sherpa said. Sadly, some aren’t healthy enough to survive the trip, he added. A small clinic would serve about 650 people in the nearby area. The health clinic, Sherpa said, is a “small-scale project with a high impact.”
Colorado School of Mines volunteers make their way to Sano Gumelav, a small village which is a two-day trip on foot north of the Chaurikharka school, to deliver clothing and hygiene donations to the Dalit community.

it was really starting to build going into 2014,” said David Baskett, a traffic engineer with Lakewood. “The changes they made in the fare structure also helped increase ridership.” The fare changes went into effect Jan. 1, and now allow riders to purchase day passes that allow for unlimited rides, or one-way tickets for single use. There are also monthly and annual passes for frequent riders. Jaquez said RTD is happy with the ridership numbers on the line. Lakewood is still working on improving its own infrastructure, or connections to the stations, to encourage more people to use the line, Baskett said. Work is underway to add sidewalks to many neighborhoods, and the city also wants to improve bicycle paths to the stations. Eversole and her husband, who live near
the Oak Station, said there is a serious lack of sidewalks and functioning streetlights leading toward Colfax. “Making it more continuous and easy — all that helps everyone,” Baskett said. One of the clearest signs of the line’s success is the increase in development along the line, according to Lakewood and RTD officials. “There’s no doubt that line has been a game-changer,” said Robert Smith, Lakewood’s economic development manager. “We’re seeing a lot of apartments along the line, which is important because the need for housing is going up and we have more millennials coming in.” The Eversoles hope the line will bring in more pedestrian-friendly businesses. “We hope that the line will motivate business owners to branch out to our neck of the woods,” she said. “We could really use a coffee shop within walking distance.” Projects like Metro West’s Lamar Station Crossing, Zephyr Line Apartments and West Line Flats are all transit-oriented developments that developers hope will bring more
residents to the city. However, because the line runs through many Lakewood neighborhoods, this kind of progress isn’t necessarily welcomed by residents. “Our neighborhood has been very involved in housing projects, because we knew this would be happening with the light rail,” said Paul Ditson, president of the Eiber Neighborhood Association, during a recent public meeting about a senior housing project coming to the area. “We’re one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city — Eiber has been around before Lakewood was even a city.” But for people like the Eversoles, who are looking for a new place to put down roots, the line has been a significant boon. My husband and I use the rail every day that we go to work and school,” said Eversole. “We’re extremely pleased to see that the city of Lakewood, and its citizens, are meeting the needs of the community by revamping Colfax and creating places that our family wants to go to.”
‘We’re seeing a lot of apartments along the line, which is important because the need for housing is going up and we have more millennials coming in.’

VOICES

Differences do not equal detriments The other day I was listening to sports talk radio — I think a lot of us have been listening to sports talk this week — and I heard one of the talkers describe a Denver Broncos player (maybe Aqib Talib) as “a human Red Bull.” I hear things like that with a lot of different ears. The storyteller in me recognizes a brilliant metaphor, and laughs. The youth soccer coach in me, briefly, thinks about how useful it would be to give my players Red Bull before our games. Just kidding. Briefly. But the first one of my personas that lent voice to thought was the teacher, who recognized the metaphor and said, “I bet that kid was a nightmare in fifth grade.” A kid with an inexhaustible supply of energy is not likely to be a kid who is really good at sitting still during math class or to be patient waiting for the teacher to see their hand in the air. But, what a gift! And, make no mistake, for a young man with athletic aspirations to have access to the energy to it takes to play basketball at recess, do races in gym class, and then still be ready to run through a three-hour football practice after school is a wonderful gift. Just, not one that is appropriate for all circumstances. It brought to mind a meme my wife showed me last week. It was an unattributed quote that read, “Our generation is becoming so busy trying to prove that women can do what men can do that women are losing their uniqueness. Women weren’t created to
do everything a man can do. Women were created to do everything a man can’t do.” (That last thing, by the way, is a long list — ask my wife). I pray that my girls hear that, and remember it every day. For that matter, I pray that all children hear that message and Michael Alcorn remember it. It isn’t HITTING just girls that are being told to be boys, or boys HOME told to be girls — little Bobby and Jill and Trey and Rissa are all being told on a constant basis that they all have to be just like each other. Our institutional message, whether it is intentionally delivered or not, through our standardized testing, curricula, discipline, and expectations, is that every little kid, regardless of where they are when they get to us, is that they will be roughly the same when they’re done with our institutions. And, in the process, that also means that some of those wonderful qualities which don’t translate very well to our institutions — like endless energy — have to get “smoothed out,” and equalized, perhaps even medicated. Academic gifts we’re pretty good at
dealing with, as long as they fit well into our existing course offerings. Well-disciplined kids, kind children, punctual and diligent kids we understand and love. But, not so much the odd, the imaginative, the energetic, the preoccupied — they don’t fit so well. And, by the way, it may sound like I’m denigrating the public schools here. I’m not. Imagine what you would do, as an institution, who has been handed a set of rules by politicians hundreds of miles away, not enough money to accomplish those rules, and in your door on day one walks Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Johnny Depp, Yono Oko, Hillary Clinton and Thomas Aquinas. What schools and teachers do manage to accomplish is nothing short of miraculous. What I would love is if we, as a society, learned to recognize that God has chosen to give each of us a different set of gifts and talents, and that all of them work together, somehow, to keep the whole thing working. There’s no point in making everybody the same — the world needs all of us, if for no other reason than to give us somebody to root for this Sunday. Viva le difference!

Putting Mile High first broadcasts stadium’s mystique The Broncos are in Super Bowl 50. No matter the outcome of the game (although we’re gonna win), I want to talk to you about the home they’ll return to here in Denver. As a longtime football fan(atic), I’ve heard lots of sports announcers reference lots of pro stadiums over the years. Now, with the preponderance of sponsornamed stadiums, sometimes even I am hard pressed to know which team plays in what stadium. For example, who puts on pads and pants in Levi’s Stadium, also the site of Super Bowl 50? Oh, right, the San Francisco Forty-Niners. But then where, exactly, is Santa Clara? There’s no such confusion about Denver’s Mile High Stadium, though, sitting 5,280 feet up in the thin, thin air of the Colorado Front Range. Except that a new stadium replaced the original Mile High in 2001, which then became
Invesco Field at Mile High, and then Sports Authority Field at Mile High when that company purchased the 10 years remaining in the Invesco naming rights deal. So unless something changes, the “Mile High” of “Sports Andrea Doray Authority Field ALCHEMY at Mile High” will continue to get short shrift until 2021. And that’s a shame. Because even though the aforementioned sports commentators always commentate on the effects of our rarefied air, they often skip the “Mile High” in our name.
Why wouldn’t just the term “Mile High” strike fear into the hearts of teams on the coasts and in the flatlands? The Broncos’ pro football playground is the highest in altitude … by far. The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, home of the Arizona Cardinals, is next on the list at a measly 1,070 feet above sea level. The Saints’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans claims the bottom at 3 feet above sea level, and the rest of those coastal and flatlander stadiums fall in between. Advantage: Broncos. Yes, I understand the necessity and the impact of sponsorship revenues for the Denver Metropolitan Football Stadium District. But I also swear by the power of mystique. Think of places such as Soldier Field in Chicago, and our often-time archrival Kansas City Chief’s Arrowhead Stadium. I’ll bet places like Qualcomm
Stadium don’t instill the awe and respect of say, the Packers’ Lambeau Field. No wonder the San Diego Chargers wanted to move. So how about something like “Mile High Stadium presented by [insert sponsor’s name here]”? Or maybe “Mile High Stadium brought to you by [name]”? Everyone knows it’s a sponsorship, so why not even “The Awesomely Cool Reincarnation of the Original Mile High Stadium, Sponsored By [name]”? OK, I’m just kidding … sort of. Seriously, though, a return to “Mile High” first would vault our stadium to an exalted middle ground between those iconic places such as Lambeau Field, and other nondescript locations such as the Seahawk’s CenturyLink Field, or the O.co Coliseum. No wonder the Oakland
other districts are building similar schools for under $18 million. Why would the new school board move $15 million out of capital reserves and not use that for a new school? Why build a K-8 when really only a K-6 is needed? Why incur all this debt (it will cost us $33 million to pay off the $25 million debt) without voter approval? Is that what is really best for Jeffco? I do not feel facilities planning or the board has done their job at exhausting creative capacity solutions in Jeffco when so many areas in Jeffco have schools that are at 50-70 percent capacity. We do not need to be spending $33 million on a school when other solutions have not been thoroughly investigated. The Jeffco board should be demanding fiscally responsible options and should be supporting and voting for fiscally responsible options versus putting the district in debt. Stephen R. Alley Jr., Lakewood
Why borrow what you already have? At last week’s Jeffco board meeting, the board voted to move forward with leaseto-own financing options (otherwise known as Certificates of Participation or COPs) to build a kindergarten through eighth grade school that would serve the Candelas neighborhood. You may remember that last year the former board majority, in a fiscally-smart move, chose to use the $15 million in underspend and $3 million from this year’s revenue to build a new (K-6) school in the Candelas neighborhood. Our new union-backed board voted to approve district staff’s recommendation of changing it to a K-8 school that costs $25 million, and decided to pay for it through COPs. In another questionable move, the school board voted to direct district officials to begin the process of securing more COPs to complete a new wing at Sierra Elementary School in Arvada (a proposal that the community said “no” to in 2008 when voters rejected a bond for the expansion).
That means the board has directed the district to secure $40 million in new debt. More than likely, the interest on this debt will be about 3 percent, which means additional payments of $13 million over 20 years. Is this OK with you Jeffco taxpayers, when the money was already there in the Capital Reserve account for the K-6 school? How can our school board make a decision to readily assume $53 million in additional unnecessary debt payments, when at the same time they complain that there is not enough money to educate our students? Just like politicians at the federal government level who have more than doubled our national debt in the last eight years, I guess it’s no skin off their backs — they’ll just propose a tax hike to take care of the overspending. Hold onto your wallets, Jeffco, the “ask” for more money is coming! Anne Warren, Littleton

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Caucus conundrum I am very concerned that caucuses for presidential primary selection disenfranchise disproportionately the young and poor, who cannot get off work to caucus exactly at 7 p.m. and thus are prevented from participating in the presidential primary process. Are there any laws requiring businesses to allow workers to take off the several hours to attend a caucus? Would that mean McDonald’s would have to close for several hours on caucus night? I am running into those who want to caucus for their candidate but believe their employer will not allow it. What can we do for them? Judy Denison, Golden Is the path to proposed school lined in gold? For $25 million one would think so. Schools do not need to be masterpieces of architectural design. I am shocked at the cost to build a new school in Jeffco when

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.

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.

What’s love got to do with it?

Taking a look at the manifestation of love in religion By Crystal Anderson | canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A
s the famous song lyric goes, “Love is a many-splendored thing.” Love, too, is a deep thread that winds through many religions and can be realized in different ways, even within the same faith. As Valentine’s Day approaches, we are exploring the various aspects of love in Judaism and different forms of Christianity, and what it means to love one another. “Love is one of those natural emotions that has passion, relationship, joy,” said Reg Cox, senior minister at Lakewood Church of Christ. “It affects all those things at the same time, and it’s what makes life life.” Love — whether it’s friendly, familial or spiritual — takes shape through actions. Those actions, such as having compassion for one another, being thankful, being rooted in Scripture and serving the community, our sources said, are representative of one’s
love for God. At the Colorado Horeb Mar Thoma Church in Northglenn, a Christian church founded in India, the belief in love remains familiar. “We teach to love one another, love your neighbor and love yourself,” said Sara Vargrese, a church-goer and wife of the worship leader. Vargrese added that Horeb Mar Thoma members show that love through different mission activities. “We believe in God’s unconditional love for us, and we try, as a church, to embody that unconditional love of God,” said Tezenlo Thong at Simpson United Methodist Church in Arvada. “For us, that means whatever we can do to show love, in whatever small ways we can ... Love is love at any time and anywhere.”
That loving feeling
DEFINING LOVE “I believe the best way to live out love is to address the whole person, caring for them physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and knowing them. People want to be known, not just known about — there is a big difference.” — Dan Thoemke, executive director of Golden’s Be A Tool organization, which empowers residents to help serve others in the community through various neighborhood projects and activities that ensure they are warm, safe and dry.
By giving up oneself, or sacrificing and serving, one finds that feeling of joy, peace and love, pastors and church members said. To Cox, Jesus’ call for individuals to deny themselves and daily adhere to his teachings of love and thankfulness helps to prolong and share feelings of love with others. “Love for God, your neighbor and yourself — it’s all about relationship and how do we nurture that,” Cox said. “If you notice, and be thankful, it puts you in the limelight of love. And it’s in those moments of love, relationship and intimacy that are our memories.”
Service to others
Sacrificial love
Rooted in the teachings of Jesus, sacrificial love, or loving others as you would love yourself, is often seen as the first step to being one with God and is a key theme in Judaism and Christianity. “The measure of love is really about what one is willing to give up for another person,” said Ben Mandrell, pastor of Arvada’s Storyline Fellowship Church. “Jesus demonstrated his willingness to give up his life and calls us to do the same for others.” For Storyline’s congregation, sacrificing time, being humble and authentic with others and taking care of neighbors are practical ways to realize love within the community. By making the commitment to do this, Mandrell said, one is called to love deeper.
Actively loving others in the church and the community through service at schools, fundraising, tutoring, visiting others and taking care of the needs of others is something those at Simpson say can make a greater difference in not only one’s life, but in the world. “There’s too much interest with self-interest,” associate pastor Matt Snider said. “Christian love is a form of God’s love towards all of us, and is a love that continually seeks to meet human beings at the place of their deepest needs.”
A prayerful love
For Rabbi Brian Feld of Denver’s Judaism Your Way, being one with God is at the heart of Jewish spirituality, which is embodied in all types of love but is realized through prayer, forgiveness and actions. “Our prayer isn’t heard until we make the commitment to love our neighbor as ourselves,” he said, referring to the beginning of the Jewish prayer service and, specifically, the Ahavah Rabbah — or absolute love — prayer. “Being loved helps us see how everyone and everything is connected, and when we have that insight of that experience, we can’t help but love back.”

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
The district has been making a big impact on West Colfax as a whole, according to Robert Smith, Lakewood’s economic development manager. “There are lots of folks and organizations working to make Lakewood and Colfax in particular a great place to be,” he said. “There’s a real correlation between arts and economic development. These industries bring money and energy with them.” Both Marino and Smith pointed to data released by the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA) biennial Economic Activity Study of Metro Denver

Best line that sounds like a brag, but is actually heartbreaking:
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.”

Bears come up short in tough game Bear Creek unable to overcome Arvada West’s big early lead By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Game summary Bear Creek players had good looks but their shots didn’t fall. Arvada West, however, hit shots, jumping out to an early lead to win the Jan. 27 league boys basketball game, 65-29. “I don’t think we came out ready to play, but they did,” Bear Creek coach David Berghoefer said of Arvada West. “It was tough and they have a really good team. Tonight, they were the aggressor, they threw the first couple punches and we didn’t react.” Key moments Arvada West scored the first eight points of the game. While the Wildcat shots found the mark, the Bears saw their shots carom off the side of the rim or roll around the hoop and fall out. The result was Arvada West ahead 22-6 at the end of the first quarter. Despite determined efforts, Bears players never were able to close the scoring gap. “We got behind early and our team isn’t made up to climb out of a deep scoring hole,” Berghoefer said. “We like to keep the tempo down at our pace and play like we want to play, but that doesn’t equip us to make a big comeback.” Key players/statistics Andrew Stasny was the leading scorer for Bear Creek with 11 points. Teammate Jacob Pigati scored eight points and Jordy Aranda scored six points for the Bears. Max Bailey was the scoring leader in team statistics for 14 games with 107 points while Walter Ramsey had 104 points, John Kramer, Jacob Pigati and Jordan Aranda each scored 102 points in 14 games. In the 14-game statistics, Kramer is the three-point leader with 27, Aranda is the rebound leader with 67 boards, Bailey leads the team in assists with 32 and

Bear Creek’s Max Bailey (1) shoots over Arvada West defender Luke Neff (5) during the Jan. 27 league boys basketball game. The shot was on target, but Arvada West went on to win the game, 65-29.
Ramsey leads the team in steals with 27. They said it Berghoefer said the Bears need to improve all aspects of their game. “We need to work hard to get better,” he said. “We have to play better offense, improve defensively and improve our transition game. We’ll start working on those things tomorrow.” Kramer said it was a physical game and the Bears didn’t play their best.
“We got behind early and I think we got a little intimidated by Arvada West tonight,” the senior said after the game. “In the future, we can’t let that happen. We have to fight and battle hard in every game we play.” Going forward After the Jan. 27 game, the Bears record stood at 6-10 overall and 2-5 in league. The team plays on its home court Feb. 5 against Lakewood.
Lakewood wrestler sporting a 39-0 record By Scott Stocker Special to CCM There’s nothing like keeping your season record unblemished in wrestling. And that’s just the current situation for Lakewood’s Gabe Dinette. Dinette came through to win his 145-pound weight class in last Saturday’s Les Mattocks Invitational Wrestling Tournament held at Abraham Lincoln High School in Denver.
February 4, 2016
He defeated Alex Bezugly of ThunderRidge, 5-0, to improve his record to 39-0. And, when it was all over, he was named the Outstanding Wrestler in the lower weights. “Wrestling against Alex was tough,” said Dinette, a sophomore. “I just wanted to keep rolling and stay in good positions. I want to keep improving and keep my attitude up for state. That’s all that matters right now. “There was some stalling,” con-
tinued Dinette. “I just wanted to stay strong and not give up the points. I stayed low and was able to put the pressure on. This is a good tournament and I just wanted to go out and do the best I could.” Thompson Valley was able to come away with the team title as the Eagles scored 154 points. Legend placed second with 131, Adams City was third, 120.5, Glenwood Springs, fourth, Wrestling continues on Page 27
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. Jim Benton Ervin divulged to the guests in his speech OVERTIME 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 he was crying by himself back at a table, and I walked 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.

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.

107.5, and ThunderRidge, fifth, 103.5 to round out the leaders among the 34 teams in attendance. Fabian Gutierrez picked up the only championship of the night for Adams City in a battle of high ranked grapplers as he pinned Luc Herrera of Faith Christian in their 113-pound match. With the victory he improved his season record to 35-3 while Herrera dropped to 31-3. 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. “This was good tournament and now I need to get ready and get up for league,” said Cisneros. “I went out flat and I knew he was a very good opponent. It became a scramble on the mat. I need to work on my offense and on my defensive efforts and make sure I am concentrating out there on the mats. It just didn’t work out the way it should have for me.” Indeed, it was a difficult lost for Estrada as a strong nose bleed with just :18 seconds left in the first period led to his loss. “It was just a tough way to lose,” said Estrada. “I thought I could come through and beat him. I was confident and prepared, but it just didn’t work out the way it should have for me. He’s certainly tough, but I felt good going out there. It just didn’t happen as I had hoped.” State wrestling regionals take place Feb. 12 and 13. The state championship tourney begins Feb. 18.
