Lakewood police officer James Davies, 35, was accidentally shot and killed around 2 a.m. Friday morning by another Lakewood police officer. Davies is the first officer in the department’s 43-year history to be killed in the line of duty. Davies is survived by his wife, Tamara, and two young children; a daughter, Chloe, 6, and a son, Ethan, 2. He was a six and-a-half-year veteran of the force and was assigned to the Special Enforcement Team within the department. Davies was in uniform when he was shot. “Davies was the type of officer who went above and beyond and that’s why he was there, doing his job,” said police public information officer Steve Davis. Davies was mistakenly thought to be an armed suspect and shot by officer Devaney

Braley, 35, who has been on the force for 11 years. “You can maybe imagine the anguish the other officer is going through. We feel like we have two victims,” Davis said. The shooting occurred at the home of Joe Anthony Davies Ruiz, 37, 1940 Eaton St., according to Davis. Ruiz has been arrested for and is being held on suspicion of possession of a weapon by a previous offender and tampering with physical evidence, both of which are class 6 felonies. Ruiz According to Pam Russell, public information officer for the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office, he has not been charged with either crime. Davis said officers were near Ruiz’s home due to an unrelated call, when they heard gunshots, and Ruiz was seen firing shoots in the air on the front porch of 1940 Eaton St. Ruiz and two other men were taken into custody after the gunshots, but officers were not certain if there were other people in the home, and so set up a perimeter

‘Davies was the type of officer who went above and beyond and that’s why he was there, doing his job.’ Steve Davis, public information officer around the house. Officer Davies was in the backyard of the house, and was less than 10 feet away from Braley, with a fence between them, and was mistakenly taken for a suspect and fired upon. Lakewood police have been investigating with the help of several other neighboring agencies including Jefferson County Sheriffs, Edgewater and Denver. The Critical Incident Response Team, which is made up of several agencies and investigates any officer involved shooting, has also been working at the scene. Lakewood legislators — Sen. Betty Boyd, Sen.-elect Andy Kerr, Rep. Max Tyler and Rep.-elect Brittany Pettersen — released a joint statement saying, “We were shocked and saddened to learn that a Lakewood police officer was killed in the line of duty

this morning. As elected representatives of Lakewood we know how deeply this touches our community, and we ask that you join with us in holding the deceased officer, his family and his colleagues in our thoughts and prayers.” Davis said that he appreciates the help from the other agencies and the support the Lakewood Police have received. “We appreciate the outpouring of love and calls of condolences. The chief does, we all do,” he said. “I don’t think it could have been a more tragic set of circumstances.” Davies’ funeral will be at 10 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Denver First Church of the Nazarene, 3800 E. Hampden Ave. Donations to the family can be made to the Foothills Credit Union, 7990 W. Alameda Ave., by calling 720-962-8200.

Getting the gold for the green Federal Center campus recognized for sustainability By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com The Denver Federal Center is setting the standard for green government campuses nationwide, and has the metal to prove it. The DFC has become a Gold Leader in the State of Colorado’s Environmental Leadership Program (ELP). The ELP is a statewide environmental recognition and reward program that is run by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Division of Environmental Health and Sustainability. The DFC joined the ELP in 2000 according to Sally Mayberry, public affairs specialist, and became a Silver Leader in 2007. There is no one effort or area that pushed the DFC into qualifying for gold status, but rather the culmination of many different areas coming together to cut down on the campus’ environmental impact. Charles Rienhardt, sustainability program manager for the campus, said it was quite an adventure to take a campus the size of the DFC and make it as sustainable as possible.

“You have to look at every aspect that could impact the environment, and put in place procedures and controls to make sure nothing goes to waste,” he said. “It requires things like a robust recycling program, making sure we’re running our boilers in the most efficient way possible, and we have our solar panels reducing pollution.” Rienhardt called the process a constant cycle of “plan-do-check-act” to keep the continuous improvement process running. Plans are made in a particular area, oftentimes making use of the latest technology, and then the plans must be executed, and then checked to make sure they having the desired environmental effect. “To be one of the most green campuses in the country, we have to be continually looking for ways to improve the process,” Mayberry said. Not only is the DFC a leader in the area of sustainability, but educating others on how sustainability can be shared is extremely important. According to Mayberry, communicating about the practices being used on campus is something the DFC does frequently. Sometimes this communication is in the form of webinars given by Rienhardt, and often it’s giving tours of the campus, particularly the solar panel areas. Students from

At the end of 2011, GSA completed an additional seven million kWh of solar photovoltaic work. The 29,302 new panels bring the site total to 35,464 solar panels and will increase the site energy produced from solar energy from 2 percent to 17 percent of the DFC’s electrical needs annually. Photo courtesy of E Light Wind & Solar area schools come to see how the panels benefit the campus. A project that the DFC is examining in the future is the campus’ water supply, Mayberry said, and how the campus can use less water more efficiently. “We have 6,000 employees on the campus, and so it’s quite a challenge to keep

this running,” Rienhardt said. “We’re always looking to the future in the process.”

First time at polls is vote of confidence

As Sianna Elmanouzi sat at the kitchen table in early October marking her pick for president on her mail-in ballot, her mind rewound to fifth grade, when her teacher conducted a class poll on who students would vote for if they could. And then she fast-forwarded. “Wow,” she thought. “I’m 18 years old and I’m voting. This is so cool.” Jake Price, 20, walked into a voting booth on the University of Colorado campus on Halloween to make his choice. The feeling that followed took him a bit by surprise. “To finally vote was very empowering,” he said. And regardless of who was voting for whom, “you could kind of feel this unity that we were all there expressing our American rights. That was pretty cool.” Unquestionably cool. The first time I voted, in 1980, I was 20, a junior in college and Ronald Reagan trounced Jimmy Carter in a historic landslide. Back then, voting booths had curtains to ensure privacy, and I remember the excitement, the goosebumpy-feeling that my vote gave me an influential seat at the country’s table. Since then, I’ve cast my ballot for president eight more times. Incredible, really, when you think about it, that we live in a country in which the four-year cycle of popular elections has continued uninterrupted and unchallenged since just after the 1788 ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The privilege is profound. And there’s nothing quite like exercising it for the first time. “You really feel the power that your vote has — your voice,“ said Chrissy Faessen of Rock the Vote, the national organization that spearheaded efforts to register voters between 18 and 29 years old. Sianna, who is studying political science at CU, and Jake, a finance major, agree. So do Kyle Tosch, 19, an environmental and civil engineering student at Colorado State University, Chace Griffin, 20, a business

finance major at CSU, and Grace Shea, 19, a history and secondary education major at CU. “It’s exciting to feel that you actually mattered,” Kyle said. Kyle and his peers are part of the muchtouted 46 million-strong youth vote that helped shaped this election’s outcome — 19 percent of all votes came from the 18- to 29-year-old sector, 1 percent more than in 2008. They favored Obama by 60 percent to 36 percent and swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Virginia were won by voters under the age of 30, Rock the Vote numbers show. Faessen wasn’t surprised. The organization’s 25-city national bus tour found energy and enthusiasm on college campuses, she said, and an understanding of what was at stake — students’ potential livelihood. A sense of urgency permeated the decision-making process. Sianna and Grace became involved in campaigns — Sianna with Romney’s, Grace with Obama’s. They manned phone lines, sent out mailings, canvassed neighborhoods. Along with Chace, Kyle and Jake, they watched the debates and conducted their own independent research, searching for information free from bias. “We wanted to make sure we were all educated and not just voting the way our parents voted,” Kyle said. The issues of paying for college education, health care, the economy and jobs weighed heavily. “It’s scary to think if one candidate leads us down the wrong road how impactful

that will be,” Jake said. “Not only for me, but I think about having children some day and what the economy is going to be then and what the overall cultural environment will be.” Grace has watched her mother, who dealt with health care issues when she was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago, also struggle financially. “Depending on which direction you go,” she said, “life could be really different for some of us.” They all believe their votes, regardless of whom they supported, made a difference. “We are the ones who are going to be dealing with the consequences,” Grace said. “We need to have our voices heard.” “It’s a domino effect,” Chace said. “My single vote may not matter, but if I don’t vote, that may influence others to not vote and, in the grand scheme of things, a group not voting will definitely have an impact.” On election night, Kyle and Chace sat in their living room, doing homework and switching between the Nuggets game and election returns on TV. Grace nervously watched CNN in her sorority house. Jake dejectedly listened to a scratchy car radio broadcast returning from a church meeting. And, depending on where she was, Sianna followed results on TV, her laptop and her phone. Wearing a 2012 Romney T-shirt, she didn’t realize Obama had won until she walked into her dorm lobby, crowded with

cheering students. “I felt defeated,” she said. “With so many fiscal issues at stake, I thought Romney was the better candidate.” Grace and Kyle were elated. “I had a great sense of pride that our voices … were heard and made a difference in this election,” Grace said. Regardless of which candidate they supported, all five students say this first election experience inspired confidence in their nation and fueled a sense of patriotic pride and civic duty. “Feeling as though you have a voice in the say of your country is a rather rare commodity in this world,” Jake said. Research shows casting a ballot as a young voter makes one more likely to become a lifelong voter. As Faessen said: “It’s not just about voting every four years for the president of the United States. It’s really about your continued participation and influence on shaping your country’s democracy.” These young voices make it clear our democracy is in excellent hands. And that is unquestionably cool. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Roundabout planned for Lamar Station Changes to make area more pedestrian friendly By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com Preparations for the West Rail Line will bring a new roundabout at the intersection of Lamar Street and West 14th Avenue. In addition to the roundabout, a new section of sidewalk and bicycle lanes will be added, all funded by a $1 million grant from a Hazard Safety Elimination Program, administered by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). According to Ben Waldman, principal traffic engineer, as part of the planning process for the West Rail Line, the city completed a survey of the stations and found that the Lamar Street Station is going to be one of the few stations that is walk-up only. This means there will be scant parking places.

“The station is really intended for people to walk to, but there’s not a lot of pedestrian connectivity in the area,” he said. “The city looked at how we could help make the connectivity better and safer.” In addition to the connectivity issues, the intersection has a high rate of accidents, and so by slowing the speeds down to 15 mph in the roundabout, Waldman said he hopes the number of accidents will be reduced. Aside from safety and connectivity, another aspect of the work done in the area is to include it in the 40 West Arts District. According to Alexis Moore, a planner with Lakewood, the Lamar Street Station became part of the 40 West Arts District Urban Design and Mobility Plan based on input from neighbors in the area, and was adopted by City Council in January 2011. “There’s a great opportunity for public

art in the center of the roundabout,” she said. “This is a great concrete example of the plan we have moving forward.” Waldman said that construction is not expected to begin until the summer of 2013, after the light rail line has opened. “We’ve already met with the West Metro Fire and Rescue Department, affected neighborhoods, and the 40 West. Arts District,” he said. “We’ll be meeting with individual home owners in the coming weeks.” According to information provided by

LAKEWOOD NEWS IN A HURRY At 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 11, Lakewood police responded to a man down in the parking lot of a bar at 1050 S. Wadsworth. Upon their arrival, officers found an unresponsive 34-year-old man. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. According to information released by police, it is believed that the man was asked to leave the bar after becoming belligerent with patrons. He returned to the bar, and was escorted out again. Detectives believe there was a physical altercation between the victim and one or two other males — Thomas John Perez, 44, and Vincente Matthew Baros, 29. Perez and Baros have been arrested for second-degree murder, and are currently in the Jefferson County Jail. The investigation is ongoing, and the police are waiting for autopsy results from the Jefferson County Coroner’s office.

Candidates recounting on it Three Jeffco races could be subject to recount By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com Election Day has passed but the race is still on in three Jefferson County races. Tightest of the races is the one for District 2 county commissioner. With all 262 county precincts reporting, appointed incumbent John Odom leads challenger Casey Tighe by only 133 votes. “It’s exciting. We just needs to count up all the ballots and see who won,” Tighe said. Odom said he had no comment on the state of the election, only that he trusted in county Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson and her department to determine the election winner soon. The RTD race for District M, which is entirely within Jeffco, is also likely to trigger a mandatory recount, as Natalie Menten currently leads Matt Cohen by 119 votes. A ballot recount is done whenever the percentage of victory is one-half of 1 percent or less of the winner’s vote total. In the state Senate District 19 race, the vote results fall just outside that range, with Democrat incumbent Evie Hudak beating Republican Lang Sias by 332 votes.

But with Jeffco’s Clerk and Recorder’s Office still sifting through more than 7,000 provisional ballots that were turned in on Election Day, any three of those races could move in or out of the threshold. “That’s entirely possible,” said Josh Liss, deputy of elections for Jeffco. “But what we’ve seen in recent years is that the provisional ballots seem to reflect what we see on election night.” Liss said the provisional ballots had to be processed, followed by the official certification of the election results. If the numbers of those certified results still triggered the need for a recount, then the county would have until Dec. 13 to do so. “But we know everyone’s anxious to find out who won. If we can we’d like to get any recount started that last week of November,” Liss said. The optical vote-counting machines used by Jeffco, which Liss described as “simple and reliable,” would be checked for accuracy. Then the recount would begin, which in the case of the Odom and Tighe contest would involve recounting every ballot in the county. The process is expected to take three to four days. Liss said the county’s equipment is rarely wrong the first time around though. “I don’t think we’ve ever seen a recount in Jeffco where the result changes.”

Gateway group outlines shopping Website offers guide to dining, shopping in city By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com Lakewood is a gateway to both Denver and the Rockies, and a new website has been launched to let visitors know what the city has to offer. The Lakewood Shop at GatewayGuide.info offers a one-stop location shopping, dining and living experiences in the city. The site is managed by the Alameda Gateway, which is made up of members of the Alameda Gateway Community Association and the Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District. According to Ken Parks, member relations director for the Alam-

eda Gateway, the site was developed with the help of the city to let people know about the options in shopping and transit available. “We feel we have a downtown now, and it’s time to let people understand that getting around Lakewood is very rewarding and very easy,” he said. According to Parks, the organization started focusing on creating a more robust website when they looked at their marketing and realized how many people were coming from other areas like Denver and Littleton to spend time in Lakewood. The group wanted to take the social media road, and the Lakewood Shop was born. “We really want to promote businesses within the AGCA and ACBIA and looked at how to director traffic to stores,” said George Valuck,

executive director of the Alameda Gateway. “We want to feature the uniqueness of the area and promote it through as many ways as we can.” The Shop wants to focus less on big chains like Target and Old Chicago, and more on stores and restaurants that are special to Lakewood. All businesses in the city are invited to become involved with the Shop, Parks said. “Any way we can get the word out about the businesses in Lakewood is what this is all about,” Valuck said. There will be a kickoff event on Dec. 7 at Belmar Block 7, 445 S. Saulsbury St., that will give people a chance to experience the Lakewood Shop and see some new art exhibits at the gallery. For more information or to get involved, call 303-274-1807 or visit GatewayGuide.info.

Blossoming Mind celebrates 11 years By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com Nearly everybody has heard the advice to follow one’s passion, but not everyone heeds it. Shari Gordon, owner of The Blossoming Mind, has been for the past 11 years. After 10 years working out of her home, she was inspired to set up shop at 8830 W. Colfax Ave., when she had a moment of clarity. “I asked myself what would I regret?” Gordon said. “I realized not getting more out there with my work would be one of those things.” Gordon works with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), hypnotherapy and energy healing to help clients with unresolved emotional issues as well as physical ailments. “Everyone has stuff that happens in life, from marriage issues to financial ones, and I work with people to help with stress and to change behaviors,”

she said. “Even when we know consciously what to do to change, it can be hard to get there.” Gordon started out working in the telecommunications industry, but when her marriage ended she found herself on what she called “my own healing journey.” She became interested in holistic healing when dealing with a back issue. She went to a chiropractor, who then referred her to a massage therapist. At the end of her massage session, the therapist did some Reiki, and Gordon said it felt really good. Reiki is a Japanese form of healing that focuses on using a person’s hands to transfer healing energy. “I started learning Reiki during the weekends, and then more and more work with holistic areas,” she said. “I’ve studied a lot of different energy healing techniques since. I just follow my passions and whatever is interesting to me.”

The techniques she’s studied include essential oils, hypnotherapy and Access Bars therapy. Gordon compares the work she does with people to cleaning up a computer. She helps clients to get rid of old files and make room for better software. “These methods are helpful for quitting smoking, weight loss, dealing with fears and phobias and stress,” she said. “People don’t think of doing some of these things after an illness or trauma because they don’t know about it, but it can be really beneficial in healing.” As a member of the West Chamber, she has kept her business going not only through word of mouth from clients, but also through the Chamber and through classes and speaking engagements.

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Missing woman found

An 83-year-old woman who went missing on Nov. 7 has been found. The south Jeffco woman, who suffers from short-term memory loss, had been driving to meet her husband in Denver but never arrived. Jeffco Sheriff’s Department announced that the woman was found safe by the morning of Nov. 9.

Birthday for Jeffco Open Space

It was in 1972 that Jefferson County voters approved a one-half percent sales tax for “planning for, developing necessary access to, acquiring, maintaining, administering and preserving open space real property or interests in real property, and developing paths and trails thereon for the use and benefit of the public.” And with that, Jefferson County Open Space became a reality. The citizen’s group PLAN Jeffco led the effort to create Jeffco Open Space, aimed at protecting open lands throughout unincorporated

portions of the county. Early acquisitions included Matthews/Winters Park near Interstate 70 and the Hogback; Hiwan Homestead, Apex Park and Mount Falcon Park. To date, 52,000 acres, 28 Parks and 210 miles of trails for hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders have been created and maintained through open space funding. The cities and recreation districts within the County benefit from the Open Space fund and program. A portion of the Open Space sales tax is distributed through a motor vehicle registration formula directly to the cities for parks and open space purposes. Cities compete with the Recreation Districts for supplementary grant funding for capital and land

purchase projects.

County Comprehensive Master Plan

Jeffco will host a public meeting to discuss a draft version of the county Comprehensive Master Plan today from 4-7 p.m. in the Quad Room (Rooms 1552AB/1565AB) at the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Facility, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, in Golden. Staff will make two identical 15 minute presentations outlining the changes to the Plan, the first at 4 p.m. and the second at 5:30 p.m. Staff will be available to discuss the draft and answer questions. There will also be map displays available to review. Information, and a draft version of the plan are available at jeffco.us/ planning/.

Double trouble in DeWild trialB Twin brother’s confession at heart of case against DeWild

‘She looked me right in the eye and had a M look like ‘help me.’’’ B

David DeWild

By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews.com The term “double jeopardy” had new meaning in a Jefferson County courtroom last week, as the murder trial of Daniel DeWild got underway, with the defendant’s identical twin brother David serving as the prosecution’s star witness. Daniel DeWild, 40, stands accused of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of his estranged wife Heather (Springer) DeWild. She was last seen alive on July 24, 2003, just one week before her divorce was to be finalized. Her body was found wrapped in plastic and buried in a shallow grave in Clear Creek Canyon two months later. The DeWild twins, and David’s wife Roseanne DeWild, were charged with first-degree murder in December 2011. The following July, David met with the Jeffco DA’s office, and worked out a plea agreement for his “truthful testimony” against his brother, in exchange for a reduced sentence. Roseanne DeWild’s charges were

dropped, after investigators became convinced that she was not part of the murder plot. With the defendant’s table and the witness box only a few yards from each other, the twins appeared to never make eye contact. “How close were you to your brother,” Chief Deputy DA Bob Weiner asked David DeWild, whose testimony filled up most of day two and part of day three of the trial. “Very close,” David said. “How close are you now?” “I think we’re going our separate ways,” David replied. Under direct examination David described how his brother grew increasingly angry about his impending divorce, and began talking about wanting to kill Heather DeWild. He said the two made plans about where to hide the body, and how to cover up evidence. Defense attorneys raised questions about David’s trustworthiness

a after lying to investigators for nine years, and raised the theory that Dal vid was the one with motive to kill. o “David, did Heather reject your advances in 2003? Did you kill her in 2003? Or did you just not want your brother to go through the same kind of painful divorce you did?” Defense attorney Tom Ward said during crossexamination. On July 24, 2003, Daniel asked Heather DeWild over to his house. She brought their children, ages 3 and 5. David testified that he was in the garage when his twin lured Heather DeWild there to kill her. “He throws her to the ground. He picks up a rubber mallet and hits her in the head,” David said to the court. “She didn’t know what was going on. She looked to the left and to the right. She looked me right in the eye and had a look like `help me,’” David said. “I’m the last thing she saw and I didn’t help her.”

Treatment addresses attention disorders Neuro feedback offers alternative to medication By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com Wave Neurofeedback offers a new treatment option for people dealing with attention, mood and learning disorders. Bridget Abare, who runs Wave, 1746 Cole Blvd., Suite 225, is a licensed clinical social worker and has been working with individuals and families coping with serious issues for several years. She heard about neurofeedback two years ago and wanted to know more. “It seemed like something that I could add to my practice as another way to help my patients,” she said. “I opened Wave a year-and-a-half ago, but was working out of my home. In September I was able to open an actual location.” Neurofeedback is an alternative treatment to medication, which Abare said is not currently discussed or offered to enough people. She said that so often people are given medication so quickly that they are never told about alternatives. Both

‘It seemed like something that I could add to my practice as another way to help my patients.’

Bridget Abare, clinical social worker adults and children can use neurofeedback. According to Dr. Steven Stockdale, a clinical psychologist who consults with Abare, neurofeedback helps people to retrain their brainwave activity. During a patient’s first session, a brain-map is created, which provides a picture of the electrical activity going on in the brain. Once the map is created and the areas that need work are located, sensors are placed on the head and the patient is coached on how to alter their brain wave activity. “The method has been around since the ’60s, but with the advanced technology, it’s become a growing technique that more people are using,” Stockdale said. “People are now able to run these programs off their

laptop, which takes the method out of the lab and into clinical practices.” Abare said that the therapy has proved very effective in treating attention disorders like attention deficithyperactivity disorder, anxiety, stress and has even been helpful with Asperger’s and autism. She said that by the 10th session most see results, but how many sessions a patient will ultimately need depends on the person and their brain. Abare said that her experience in social work and training in neurofeedback have made her very well versed in how to best help people. “(Abare) is very competent, and does great work,” Stockdale said. “She’s really great with patient care.” To learn more call 303-949-6479 or visit www.waveneurofeedback.com.

Blue jeans mean green for charities Monthly events lets employees wear jeans for money By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

The type of jeans a person is wearing may be scrutinized for style, but for city of Lakewood employees, wearing jeans is all about the money. A program launched for city employees lets them wear jeans an extra day at work once a month for $5, all of which goes to a

different charity every month. Kim Wonders, a business support specialist in the City Clerk’s office, organized the program based on a similar project she heard about through her husband. “I thought it would be a great idea, and we were able to get authorization to do this,” she said. Teri Colvin, who works as a coordinator for the Advisory Commission for an Inclusive Community (ACIC), shares office space

with Wonders, and thought launching the program would be a great idea. “It seemed like a really easy and fun thing to do to raise money, and who doesn’t like wearing jeans an extra day?” she said. “It’s really a no-brainer, and so easy, so why not?” November’s jeans day will be the sixth one, and according to Wonders, $2,254 has been raised by all the days. “I think our lowest day was around $300 and our highest was around $750,” she said. “We send out an e-mail that goes to all city employees, and they choose to participate

if they want to.” So far money has been donated to organizations like Ralston House and this month’s funds will be donated to the Jefferson County Action Center. For December Wonders said they are planning on donating to Metro West Housing Solutions. Colvin said she has spoken to other organizations about the jeans days as a way to fund raise for charity, and gives updates to the ACIC on how much is raised each day. “We’ve had a really positive reaction and the employees love it,” Wonders said.

Sometimes we are just not that important after all The other day as I was reviewing my upcoming calendar I realized I was double booked on a few days, so I began to try and determine if there were meetings I could possibly reschedule or delegate to someone else. In my head I was really focused on rescheduling the meetings because they all seemed very important, and of course I felt like I was the only one who could possibly lead the meetings and deliver the best possible outcome. And so I was staring at the large dry erase calendar in my office that was filled with appointments as my wife came by. She had asked what I was doing and so I told her. Her immediate reply, too immediate if you ask me, was this, “You sometimes think you are more important than you really are.” Ouch, and it still stings a little as I write this, because it’s true. The truth hurts sometimes. She pointed out that I am too quick to want to handle everything and be involved in every opportunity and initiative and that I needed to trust the very capable, smart, and talented people on my team. Maybe she overheard some coaching I had done or read something I had written about delegation in the past, and was now serving me a heaping helping of my own advice. How about you? Are you that important? Are you the only one who can get the job done, or are there people, processes and technology that you can rely on to take some of the burden or pressure off of your

busy schedule? Big question, right? It’s a big question because we first have to determine what is truly important to us and what our priorities really are. Every one of us will have the order of our own priorities. Some will consider relationships with their spouses, children and close friends as first on their list. Others will place their emphasis on their faith. And there are many of us who prioritize our lives and schedules around our work. Then there are the folks who seem to have money as the highest on their list of things most important. Based on where we all are at the present moment, our priorities could easily shift, as each of the above could be increasingly more important at any given season of our lives. As I reflected on my own importance or lack thereof, I realized I could delegate a couple of the meetings and avoid a trip or two here at the end of the year. There are people who can complete the task effectively and productively without me, and I can focus my energy and time of other things, things that do matter most.

MORE JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY Ridgeway case to cost

The high profile murder case involving Jessica Ridgeway suspect Austin Sigg will have a high cost as well. The Colorado Judicial Department has authorized $30,000 be sent to Jefferson County out of the court security cash fund, to help handle the cost of handling the increased public and media attention associated with the case. Aurora courts received similar funding for the prosecution of the Aurora shooting suspect. “There are just so many people and media that want to be there,” said Jeffco Sheriff’s Department Grant Specialist Beth Mundell. According to Mundell, the $30,000 grant was greatly appreciated, but would not cover all of the county’s additional costs. The Jeffco District Attorney’s Department is anticipating extra costs as well. Last week incoming DA Pete Weir came to the Board of County Commissioners and said the Ridgeway court proceedings were likely to be lengthy — “several months if not one or two years.” Weir said new legislation allowing for a “reversetransfer hearing” would also mean added time and resources spent defending

the DA’s decision to charge the 17-year-old suspect as an adult. For the 2013 budget, he requested at least two additional staff members to help with the workload, and to not draw workforce away from hundreds of other ongoing cases.

Community input for libraries Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) has scheduled four community meetings throughout the county. The purpose of the meetings is to provide an

update on library services, solicit input from library patrons and other Jefferson County residents and respond to community concerns. Meetings will start at 10 a.m. and are currently scheduled for the following dates and places: Saturday, Nov. 17, Arvada Library, 7525 W. 57th Avenue, Arvada Saturday, Dec. 1, Columbine Library, 7706 W. Bowles Ave., Littleton Saturday, Dec. 8, Evergreen Library, 5000 Highway 73, Evergreen

Just like many of you, work and money are a priority for me too. But perhaps I have deluded myself and have made excuses that both were so important that I have accepted placing my family and faith behind work and money. Big mistake. There is a framed poster on my office wall with one of my favorite quotes and reminders by Forest E. Witcraft that reads, “A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, what sort of house I lived in, or kind of car I drove … but the world may be a different place because I was important in the life of a child.” There it is in big print on my wall, right in front of me, I have to pass by it every day I come in and out of my office. And there are pictures of my children, my family and my friends all over my office, once again right in front of me. I have memories of others so very important in my life embedded in my mind and held in

my heart, not only right in front of me but a part of me. Yet, I had to be reminded that maybe, just maybe, I am really not that important after all. Now please don’t take this out of context. I know we are all important in the lives of other people in both our personal and my professional life. I get that. But I think I will accept the fact that sometimes I can allow myself to simply be … not that important. I would love to hear all about your priorities and importance, or lack thereof at gotonorton@gmail.com, and I hope that this will be a better than good week for you.

A year of yes for voters of the north

The day after the election one enthusiastic voter exclaimed voters in the Jefferson and Adams counties regions said yes to everything. Well not everything. But voters in the two counties did say yes to legalizing recreational use of marijuana in Amendment 64 and yes to Amendment 65, which urges support for a federal amendment to back limiting campaign contributions and spending. Further, Jefferson County voters said yes to a property tax increase for Jeffco school district for ballot questions 3A and 3B. And in Adams County, voters said yes to increasing the number of commissioners from three to five beginning in 2014. Although we endorsed 3A and 3B we didn’t expect it to pass by such a strong margin nearing 60 percent for 3A. We noted in our endorsement that Jef-

OUR VIEW

fco Schools did its best to tighten its belt and plan ahead starting about five years ago, so we give them credit for its efforts and credit again for passing the ballot questions. Question 3A will bring $39 million per year to help the district keep down class sizes and other efforts and although 3B wasn’t the most handsome bond because it didn’t promise a new building or specific centerpiece improvement — it will update and renovate schools. So now we ask the district to do a good

job in return of sharing with voters where the funds will go through the next few years. As for Ballot Question 1A to add two commissioners, we thought Adams County, which is known to balk at tax increases — such as in the early Scientific and Cultural Facilities District tax proposal and some RTD measures — would say forget about it. Apparently the black eye that the Quality Paving incident left was enough for many people to say five heads are better than three. Here, too, we urge the benefactor — the county — to give the voters the most bang for the buck. After the board goes to five members, we want to hear about how the commissioners are increasing connectivity, ethical oversight and effort to the good of the county.

Truth, service missing from duty My son is going through a “superhero” phase right now. His favorite movies are “The Avengers,” “Iron Man” and “Spider Man,” his favorite toys are his “Batman” Legos, and, best of all, the other day as we were about to cross the street, he looked to one side, extended his hands toward an oncoming car, and squeezed the inside fingers of each hand towards his palms and “shot webs” to stop the car. Nope, no dolls for this little guy — he’s all about the imagination and saving the world. And sound effects — turns out superheroes make much better sounds than dolls. I remember days, way back when, that I used to dream about having superpowers. My power of choice was flying, the power of unassisted flight always seemed like the coolest of all the superhero skills. Y’know, talking to fish and running really fast are all well and good, but, for my money, flying was always the way to go. These days I want a different superpower, though I suspect it’s just as much of a thing of fantasy as flying. I want the ability to heal; more specifically, I want the ability to heal the divide in this country. After the most expensive — and most negative — campaign in history, the country has returned the president to 1600 by the slimmest of popular margins, returned a strong Republican majority to the House of Representatives, and sent more Republicans to governor’s seats than two years ago. In other words, the country has voted for divided government, partisan gridlock and more bickering. Even more telling, I saw a graphic the other day that showed you could drive from the Canadian border to the Mexican

border, and from the Pacific Ocean to within about 20 miles of the Atlantic Ocean, all without passing through a single county that voted for President Obama. People in Jefferson County know all about this divide, because we enjoyed the glorious distinction of being a “swing” county. That’s why the candidates spent so much time here, and why we were buried in ugly advertising for the last nine months. And, for all that, I really doubt that anybody’s minds were changed. Sure, there were a handful of people who didn’t make up their minds early who were influenced by the late barrage of advertising. But for the most part, this became an argument, not about which way was better, or which principles should guide us, but about who was the scariest person for the next four years. Hardly the stuff of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. We should expect better. And I’m going to start to propose a way forward, starting with First Principles. Maybe we can’t all agree on First Principles, and maybe we can; I’m not reaching into any deep arcane list for my FPs. I’m going to try to keep it

pretty simple. Ignore this if you want, and forgive me if this sounds preachy or sanctimonious, but I suspect that our revulsion over the last nine months will be repeated in four years if we don’t start to force change. And if our revulsion becomes the norm, then how can we hope to bring the country together? First of all, we have got to start making our First Duty to be to the Truth. I know some wit said “truth is the first victim of any campaign,” but I don’t think we should be so casual with the Truth. It’s not good enough to spin, or to interpret, but we should just speak to the Truth. If your party, your candidate, your issue, your organization is reluctant to deal with Truth, then there has to be a consequence for that. We can’t continue to return corrupt people to government and places of power, and then wonder why government is corrupt. And secondly, can we re-prioritize Service? On this week, when we honor our veterans, let’s honor their service and sacrifice by remembering that nobody ever took an oath to a party or president — they took oaths to the Constitution and served for the person on their left and on their right. Maybe I’m making too much of this; then again, maybe we’ve all just lowered our expectations too far. There is no Superman to save us from ourselves, though, if we continue to let the political season be this trivial. Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

The logic and potential revenue from tax for Amendment 64 may have been enough for voters to back recreational use of marijuana. With the medical marijuana centers already anchored in Colorado, it just didn’t seem like a stretch to go this direction and not wait for other states to try it out first. We hope the costs, lawmaking and legal issues don’t make the state regret its decision. We appreciated Gov. John Hickenlooper’s comment that federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so “don’t break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly.” We are not about to celebrate anything about this yet. We appreciate that voters made tough choices on Election Day. We especially appreciated the yeses to Jeffco Schools. Sometimes when money is tight and the chips are down people nonetheless just dig deeper into their pockets.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Despite more money, reform needed

Many of us are pleased that Jeffco Schools 3A and 3B passed. Now it’s critical to turn our attention to next steps. One of the public comments from the mill/bond opposition prior to the election was that there are clearly two sides: one that believes all the district needs is more money and another that believes concrete reform steps must be taken. Among all the data and back-and-forth around the campaign, that comment — more than others — showed a fundamental misunderstanding of what Jeffco voters want. Most voters want both adequate funding and appropriate reform. We now know that Jeffco voters affirmed the first part of this equation, resoundingly approving 3A and 3B. Now it’s time to focus our energy on improving what we can. Much is already in progress. For instance, the state and the district are working hard on reviewing teacher compensation and evaluation processes, issues at the heart of many voters’ concerns. Other reform issues are important and exciting: Questions around achievement, school choice, charters, online learning, school day and year lengths, relationships with community colleges, state mandates, and language, STEM, and “academy” opportunities, to name a few. With less financial worry, let’s roll up our sleeves and give constructive, substantive input! Jeff Lamontagne Lakewood

‘Totally MAD’ covers magazine’s 60-year history There are many things you still wish you had from your childhood. Freedom to play, for one. The ability to make a fool of yourself and not care. How about your old toys? You’d be rich right now if you still had them. Oh, and that pile of comic books and magazines that you stored in your bedroom closet. You wish you still had those, too. Just holding them would take you back to being a kid again, which is why you’ll want “Totally MAD: 60 Years of Humor, Satire, Stupidity and Stupidity,” edited by John Ficarra and published by Time Home Entertainment. When Bill Gaines inherited Educational Comics (known as EC) in the early 1950s, the company’s output was mostly “kiddie comics.” Gaines, however, was creative and wanted to experiment. He came up with a horror comic he called “MAD,” changing EC into Entertainment Comics. Gaines was somewhat of an eccen-

tric. His MAD office was filled with paper, rubber stamps and a life-size King Kong head. He was “unshaven, unkempt, and sometimes off the rails.” Once, after MAD changed offices, he had lunch at a nearby restaurant, then informed the management that he would bring guests to their establishment several times a week if he didn’t have to wear a tie. They insisted on ties. Gaines never ate there again.

During Gaines’ years at the head of MAD, the magazine consisted of 48 pages of black-and-white drawings. There were occasional, thicker issues but the standard had no frills. And it was “Cheap” – as little as a dime an issue in the early days. In 1956, MAD’s toothy spokeskid made his debut. Gaines didn’t like Alfred E. Neuman at first, and had to be convinced that there were ”endless possibilities” for the iconic mascot. Alfred’s presence led to a lawsuit for copyright infringement at one point, but the magazine won. The “What? Me, Worry?” kid didn’t worry and neither, reportedly, did Gaines. In 1997, five years after Bill Gaines’ death, MAD was re-organized, re-populated with a few new artists, and “re-launched.” Its appearance had altered slightly, it cost more, it now accepted paid ads, and its presence was cemented in pop culture.

So who didn’t grow up with MAD Magazine? If you did, you’ll find “Totally MAD” to be (almost-but-not-quite) completely fun. This history of MAD Magazine is not a thorough, detailed one but I didn’t mind that. Just reading the little-known stories is great, like joining a secret club. That’s enough to satisfy big kids who grew up with Dave Berg, Sergio Aragones, Dick De Bartolo, Don Martin, and – surprise! – Chevy Chase. The disappointment is that many articles are mere samples. You’ll get half a TV satire. Two pages of what was once a multipage gag. It doesn’t happen everywhere, but it happened enough that the tease made me, well … mad. Still, this is pure nostalgia for former kids of all ages, and fans will love it anyhow. If your funny bone and hip attitude were shaped by a gap-toothed smile and eightissues-a-year, then “Totally MAD” is a book you’ll wish you had.

LETTERS TO EDITOR Letters continued from Page 8

percent approved issue 3A and 54 percent backed 3B. These are huge wins for our kids — and our community. Great schools benefit us all. They improve our quality of life, attract businesses and protect our property values. Most important, they educate future citizens who one day will cast their own votes. 3A will generate $39 million each year to maintain classroom size; restore two days of school; and ensure students have access to instrumental music, teacher librarians, electives and Outdoor Lab. 3B will provide $99 million in funds for repairs to aging schools.

For the average Jeffco homeowner, these measures cost $36 a year — and will provide a strong return on taxpayers’ investment. Our students outperform the state in all grade levels and content areas on 2012 state tests. Our high school graduation rates tie for second in the nation among the 50 largest school districts. More Jeffco students are pursuing postsecondary education. The class of 2012 earned $54 million in college scholarships. And there is always room for improvement! We will continue to leverage every taxpayer dollar for student success. In Jeffco, the win for 3A and 3B also

demonstrates what a community can accomplish when it puts children first. Thousands of volunteers with Citizens for Jeffco Schools, led by co-chairs Kelly Johnson and Jonna Levine, walked doorto-door, called voters, waved signs at busy intersections and much more. Chambers of commerce, mayors, city council members and others across Jefferson County stood up and said this is the right thing to do right now. Today, we get back to work analyzing student achievement data, pinpointing classroom strategies that get results, and making sure our graduates are ready for college, the workforce and life. But we’ll savor the support of a community that came together on Nov. 6 to

ensure every child in Jeffco receives a great education and we promise that we will be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars you have entrusted to us. On behalf of the Jeffco school board members who voted to put these measures on the ballot, thank you Jeffco voters for believing in our kids and the teachers, principals and support staff who touch their lives every day.

Celebrate the Holidays Deck your halls with innovative tips and techniques Holiday Events and Happenings The holiday season doesn’t have to always involve the same old, same old when it comes to decorating your home. Take a few ideas from John Griffith. As the lead visual merchandiser for Replacements, Ltd., he spends the entire year scouting and developing innovative tips and techniques to deck the halls and trim the perfect tree. So far, Griffith’s team has adorned nearly a dozen trees throughout company’s retail store. Each tannenbaum is a story in itself, defined by color and style and unique looks created by combining ornaments with what some might consider nontraditional trimmings. “So many people settle for simply hanging ornaments on their trees, but there is so much more you can do by adding fillers that really reflect your own personal taste and style,” he said. “Mixing in ribbon, fabrics, florals, feathers and other natural elements create flair and personality.” Griffith said the hot colors for 2012 range from soft pastels to rich jewel tones. Popular ornaments this season reflect the Victorian era, with glittering gemstones and rhinestones being extremely popular. Instead of the traditional tree topper, consider using twigs or

other natural elements arranged out of the top of your tree. If you don’t have enough room for a traditional sized tree, corner trees or the flatter profile trees are an excellent fit for smaller spaces. Or, Griffith suggests you may want to go in an entirely different direction. “I am into repurposing and recycling, so I took the branches of an old artificial tree and wired them together to create swags, and then decorated those with combinations of fabrics, bows and ornaments,” he said. “You can hang swags on a mantel or place them on top of a door frame. They’re a fun family project, and you can even create them with different color stories or themes for each room in your home.” While most people know Replacements as the world’s largest retailer of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles, the company has a vast selection of ornaments from around the globe. You can find decorating and entertaining tips at www.replacements. com, while Replacements will post additional ideas throughout the upcoming holiday season on its Facebook page. BPT

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? I had an appointment to show a house but apparently, someone didn’t get the message. I opened a bedroom door to find a sleeping person in bed. That was awkward so we quickly left. Left to right: The Yost Family; Jackie Yost; Riding my “chopper” in Red Rocks

What do you like most about it? I love the small town feel of our neighborhood where the neighbors all know each other. It truly “takes a village” and our kids grew up with lots of adults to watch out for them. I also love the 800 acres of open space and the golf course. How long have you worked in Real Estate? 18 years.

New talent On the Edge Four playwrights get chance to shine in theater’s season finale By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com The Edge Theater will sound its reputation of pushing boundaries with the works of four local playwrights in the final performance of the season. “On the Edge: A Festival of New Plays” began on Nov. 9 and will run through Dec. 2 at the theater, 9797 W. Colfax Ave., and features a new play every weekend. Tickets are $10 per show. “Crasher/Hostess” by Ellen K. Graham kicked off the festival and ran Nov. 9-11. “In our second season we really wanted to make a commitment to new works. We’re giving local playwrights an opportunity to get their work produced, which is hard to do,” said Rick Yaconis, executive and artistic director of The Edge. “For these shows, the stars are the writers, not the actors or directors.” The writers of the four plays were chosen from the theater’s On Your Feet workshop,

which gives playwrights a chance to refine their work with other writers. Yaconis said the theater received a lot of scripts when they put out the call about the festival, and honed the numbers down from the top 40 to the top 20 and finally, the top four.

“Room No. 12” by Haley Johnson — Nov. 16-18

Johnson has acted in two of the Edge’s previous productions, and while she said she tends to watch a lot of comedy, when it comes to her writing, she focuses on the dramatic. Her play focuses on a women and a girl who go through a horrific experience together and how their relationship changes based on what they’ve gone through. “It’s a story some people may love, some may hate, but you won’t be able to walk away indifferent,” she said. Johnson is an actor primarily, and said that most of her writing has been in more of a short story format, which is how “Room No. 12” started. She said she has enjoyed the process in taking it to a play format. “I wrote it with the lead as someone I could see playing the role of,” she said. “But it’s been really fun seeing other people breath life into it by doing things I’d never thought of before.”

“Gifted” by Carrie Printz — Nov. 23-25

COST: $10 per show INFORMATION: 303-232-0363 or www.theeproject.com ethnic stories, especially since they have become more common in American society, and decided to tackle the subject in “Gifted.” “The play is about the family of a 15-yearold boy. His father is Indian and his mother is Caucasian, and he’s going through a bit of an identity crisis about his culture,” she said. “At the same time, he is very, very smart, and has an opportunity to go on a game show to show it.” Printz is a journalist for a medical publication, and became interesting in writing plays about four years ago, so she started taking classes. “I’ve never seen the whole play acted out before, and there’s really nothing quite like it,” she said. “I’m excited to see it come to life.”

“Straight Sitting” by Melanie Tem — Nov. 30Dec. 2

Laura Lounge (portraying Constance) and Brock Benson (portraying Tog) act out a scene from “Crasher/Hostess.”

Tem’s play is inspired by actual events that happened in Evergreen, when a child was killed during a “re-birthing” therapy session, and asks the audience to examine some serious questions. “It’s not the story of what happened in Evergreen, but it was inspired by it,” she said. “The therapists are trying to help, and it’s an extremely complex situation I want people to think about.” Tem is a social worker, but said she has always had a second career as a writer, and has had other stories published before. “I really enjoy the fluid and collaborative nature of plays,” she said. “The number of places where you can get a production like this are pretty small, so Rick and The Edge are taking a bit of a gamble.” Audiences who attend all four shows will have the chance to vote for which play deserves a full production in the 2013 season. There will also be a panel of seven judges, including Yaconis and his wife, a local theater critic and two representatives from the Colorado Theater Guild, deciding on which play wins the top prize.

There are plenty of stories about former Broncos who lived the high life only to crash and burn post their NFL career. But former wide receiver Rod Smith has avoided slipping into the “fortune, fame then falling flat on his face” cycle. His story is told as part of an Oct. 31 Forbes story headlined, “Not broke: How NFL players stay financially stable after the game ends.” To read the whole story, go to forbes.com and enter “NFL” in the search field. Smith recounts being 10 years old and watching an episode of “Where Are They Now?” on HBO. “There was a guy on the show who played in the NFL and then became homeless. When I saw that, I thought, `When I get into the NFL, there is no way I’m going broke,’” Smith told Forbes. Forbes also cited a 2009 Sports Illustrated report that said within two years of retiring, 78 percent of NFL players face financial stress. Smith hung onto his frugality throughout his 14-year NFL career in part because he joined the pros as an undrafted player in 1994. At his alma mater, Missouri Southern State University, he completed three degrees in business, economics and finance, and marketing and management, the story said. “I didn’t get drafted, so that helped me build financial stability,” Smith told Forbes. “I had a chance to be in the NFL, but not a chance to be in the NFL lifestyle, because I didn’t have the income for it.” On the Broncos practice squad making $60,000 a year, Smith didn’t attempt to keep up with the financial luxuries of other players in the locker room. Now in retirement, Smith has kept up a practice he started in the Broncos locker room under the leadership of former head coach Mike Shanahan of mentoring younger players about financial responsibility. “I appreciate Shanahan because he let me teach a financial class to the rookies,” Smith said in the story. “Nobody was teaching me these principles. I learned them from watching people.”

Il Mondo Vecchio bids arrivederci

Il Mondo Vecchio, the much-lauded Denver salumi producer, will shut its doors on Nov. 30 due to increased regulatory requirements and pressures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The production facility at 1174 S. Cherokee St. famously produced salami, pepperoni, bresaola and other cured meats along with fresh sausages for local restaurants and markets, as well as for eateries in out-of-state cities including San Francisco, Seattle and Houston. Mark DeNittis and business partner Gennaro DeSantis have owned and operated Il Mondo Vecchio under the local USDA watchdog for three years. When a representative from the national USDA went on an inspection, the salumeria was put under more fierce scrutiny. “Il Mondo Vecchio has had three solid years of uninterrupted business growth and has never had one instance of food safety violation, issue or complaint,” DeNittis said in a written statement. “In August, the USDA imposed additional requirements on Il Mondo Vecchio’s production methods. Parker continues on Page 18

November 15, 2012

Parker: Early bird gets deal on recreation center pass Parker continued from Page 17

After two months of sharing information and collaboration back and forth between Il Mondo Vecchio and the USDA as well as various attempts to modify the production methods, Il Mondo Vecchio has determined that the impact of the regulatory requirements on dry cured sausage products was detrimental to the quality of the product and therefore, (we) are forced to close the doors.” DeNittis said that his company and the USDA came to an impasse. “(We) could either change (our) methods to a process that has been validated by the USDA such as fermenting (cooking the product) or adding nitrites, nitrates, acids or copious amounts of salt, all resulting in what IMV believes to be an inferior product or stop production.” They chose the latter. The public is still

invited to attend the weekly Friday afternoon Loading Dock Friday product sales until the end of this month. All proceeds benefit the Denver Scholarship Foundation and its mission to inspire and empower Denver Public Schools students to achieve their quest for college. For tickets, contact Abigail Whiteing at 303-640-6568 or awhiteing@denverscholarship.org. More information at www. denverscholarship.org.

Wiley Weil

Rockmount Ranch Wear owner Steve Weil never met a celebrity he didn’t like, especially if they buy and wear his shirts in concert. So recently when rock icons Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler were on tour for two shows in Denver, Knopfler and the band stopped and shopped at Rockmount in LoDo. The bass player wore his Rock-

mount denim shirt (No. 640-DT, Weil tells me) at the show. “This is one perk at Rockmount, not knowing who is going to drop by unexpectedly,” Weil said. Dylan has been to Rockmount and has many shirts, including the one he wore when he received the Medal of Honor from President Obama earlier this year.

Wilma worked most of the time as a young girl with her father, serving as a personal assistant in his business, keeping the company’s books, handling many of the financial transactions and helping to run the company.

GAME OF THE WEEK FOOTBALL

No. 7 Pomona (9-2, 4-1) at No. 2 Ralston Valley (10-1, 5-0), Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex It’s an all-Arvada 5A quarterfinal as Pomona looks to gain a measure of revenge against crosstown rival Ralston Valley. It won’t be easy as the Mustangs, who beat the Panthers 30-22 on Oct. 12, have arguably been the hottest team in the state since falling to topseeded ThunderRidge in the third game of the year. Get to the NAAC early – this should be a great one.

Mustangs methodical in playoff win over Rams By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com PARKER - There were no surprises in last Friday night’s Class 4A playoff game between Ponderosa and Green Mountain at Sports Authority Stadium. Green Mountain coach Tom Ward coached at Ponderosa for eight seasons so both teams were familiar with each other. And, the result of the game was familiar, at least to Ponderosa. Ponderosa, the second seed in the playoffs, remained unbeaten as the Mustangs used a stout defense and quick strike offense to notch a 35-7 first round playoff victory. The Mustangs (11-0) will travel to Colorado Springs Friday night for a quarterfinal game against tenth-seeded Mesa Ridge (8-3). Ponderosa held the Rams to 82 yards of total offense. The Mustangs managed only 245 yards but took advantage of Green Mountain mistakes and scored quickly to force the visitors to play catch up. “Tom coached with us,” Ponderosa coach Jamie Woodruff explained. “He knows us pretty well. We couldn’t run the trap very well and they couldn’t run the trap very well.” Ponderosa took a 7-0 lead on its second possession of the game when the Mustangs moved 37 yards in three plays with quarterback Tanner Augustine scoring on an 11-yard run. Then the Mustangs scored 14 points in 10 seconds to assume a 21-0 lead. Green Mountain punter Derek Stein dropped the snap, tried to scramble but his attempted punt was blocked by Adam Lange. Stein broke his leg on the play. Ponderosa capitalized with Augustine tossing a 6-yard TD pass to Corry Williams with 1:46 left in the first quarter. On Green Mountain’s next play, Nathan Kirkegaard recovered a Rams’ fumble and after a five-yard penalty, Dylan Spradling ran eight yards for a touchdown to pushed the Mustangs up by three touchdowns with 1:36 to play in the first quarter. “The turnovers really hurt and the punter dropping the snap” said Ward. “The first series we stopped them, gambled by kicking into the wind, they fumbled and we didn’t get it. “We knew what they were going to do and they knew what we were going to do. We had to try things. It was one of those things where physically we didn’t match up. It was pretty obvious.” Williams, who rushed for 129 yards, scored his second and third touchdowns of

A bad snap on a Ponderosa punt resulted in the Rams taking over at the Mustang 19-yard line. “Anytime you can win 35-7, you are always happy,” said Woodruff. “We played well but we can play better. We have to get better.” Ward thinks the Mustangs have the makings of a championship team. “I coached with these guys,” he said. “I knew what they would do and we had a good

defensive game plan but offensively, they are just solid on defense. They have a chance to go all the way.” Green Mountain, seeded 15th in the playoffs, suffered its third consecutive loss but finished the season with a 7-4 record. “Nobody thought we would win seven games,” said Ward. “I had 15 seniors and they didn’t win a game as freshmen. They came a long way. “Hey, I’m not disappointed. We didn’t want to play these guys (Mustangs), just because they’re my buddies. We played hard and that’s always good.”

Tigers can’t duplicate magical run Lakewood goes 1-1 at state volleyball tournament By Daniel Williams

ranked Doherty in a tough five-set battle. Doherty then claimed the Class 5A title with a 3-0 trouncing over Grandview. Despite the team falling short of its goal, the Tigers are proud of the season they put together. “The girls worked really hard,” Armbrustmacher said. “They believed in themselves. They believed in each other. That’s pretty much all you can want from a team.” Though the team will graduate star outsides Marie Zimmerman and Maggie Steward, it will also return setter Fahrenbrook and 6-foot-1-inch middles Marie Gillcrist and Raegan Jackson giving the team hope once again to make a run at state. “Next season I feel like we are going to have a great defensive team,” Fahrenbrook said. “We might be smaller, but we are going to be very hard to beat. Don’t underestimate us.”

then cruise to a 25-22, 25-13, 25-19 victory. “Cherry Creek really played flawlessly today,” Armbrustmacher said. “They didn’t make an error. It’s hard to beat a team at this level when they are not making errors.” Even with Cherry Creek producing one of the more commanding performances in the tournament, Fahrenbrook still thinks her team was capable of more in the final match. “They are a great team. I am not going to take anything from them,” she said. “They have great defense. They have a great outside. We could have put up a better fight.” On day two of competition, Lakewood saw their chances of advancing to the semifinals fade slowly as Cherry Creek defeated Mountain Vista in four sets to win the pool outright. Cherry Creek would go on to narrowly lose to nationally

DENVER - After a successful run at the state championships last season, the Lakewood girls volleyball team looked to take this year’s tournament by storm. Lakewood barely missed out on the title match in 2011, losing a exciting five-set match to Grandview in the semifinals. Returning a majority of the lineup this year, hopes were high that the team could go all the way. “We still had a lot of our starting lineup from last year,” said junior Sara Fahrenbrook. “We just lost one of our outsides. It was a big loss, but our outsides this year made up for it, easy.” Though the Tigers knew their shot a state was still strong, other teams seemed to count them out. With the newly adopted MaxPreps Freeman Rankings determining postseason, Lakewood fell to a deep ninth out of 12 teams in the Class 5A tournament. Despite the low seed, Lakewood was still happy with its schedule to play Mountain Vista and Cherry Creek in pool play. “I really liked our draw for the pool coming in today,” Tigers coach Liz Armbrustmacher said. “We really felt like we had a chance to make it through to the semifinals, which is pretty good for a team that everybody kind of discounted at the beginning of the year. Nobody thought we would make it this far.” As the third seed in the pool, Lakewood would have to play both matches on the first day of the tournament, Friday Nov. 9. Mountain Vista also felt confident about its shot in the tournament, which made it that much more shocking when Lakewood came out in dominating fashion. Even without libero Camille White, who injured her hand in regional play, the team instantly showed it was a legitimate contender with a 5-2 run to begin the match. The Tigers would continue their dominance through each game, building runs as much as 5-0 and 9-0. The Tigers would quickly earn a 25-20, 25-20, 25-23 victory over a stunned Golden Eagles squad. “We wanted it really, really bad,” Fahrenbrook said. “We just played our hardest. We came here to play.” After a quick one-match break, Lakewood faced up against a big Cherry Creek offense. Even with momentum in the Tigers favor, the Bruins had a confidence to be found at a school with a winning tradition. After fighting tough in the first set, it still wasn’t enough to overcome the powerful Bruins squad. Though Lakewood tried attacks from every angle, the Cherry Creek defense gave up nothing to the normally mighty Tiger offense. The Bruins would

5A state playoff quarterfinals: No. 7 Pomona (9-2, 4-1) at No. 2 Ralston Valley (10-1, 5-0), Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex * Game plan: This game is truly a clash of the titans and a rematch of one of the best 5A games played all season. Ralston Valley - winner of the 5A North Metro league beat league runner up Pomona 30-22 on their Oct. 12 meeting. Pomona played good enough to win that day but their quarterback senior Alec Feland threw four interceptions. Ralston Valley senior Spencer Svejcar intercepted two of Feland’s passes that day and added 109 receiving yards. Pomona junior running back Chris Marquez ran for 114 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the loss. However, this time around could be a different story. Pomona is coming off beating reigning state champion Columbine 42-22 and has won four straight games since their loss to Ralston Valley outscoring their opponents 153-52. But many also believe Ralston Valley is the best team in the state. They average 39.5 points per game and their one loss was a 29-25 road defeat to No. 1 ranked ThunderRidge. Moreover, Ralston Valley’s defense has not allowed a single point on the scoreboard this postseason, outscoring their two opponents 87-0. * Extra point: Ralston Valley is the slight favorite going into this game and rightfully so. Their body of work this season is as impressive as any team in the state. However, Pomona has something extra and seems to be made of something special this season. The Panthers have grit, heart, swagger and have shown they are never out of a game even on days when they are not at their best. If Pomona doesn’t turn the ball over they can beat anyone. But if Ralston Valley brings their A-game on Friday they will be hard - if not impossible - to beat. 4A state playoff quarterfinals: No. 6 Wheat Ridge (10-1, 4-1) at No. 3 Denver South (101, 5-0), Friday at 7 p.m. at All City Field * Game plan: This game is a rematch of a lopsided 17-0 South victory over Wheat Ridge on Oct. 17. South shutout then No. 1 ranked Wheat Ridge on a soggy afternoon looking more like the state’s No. 1 team that day. But that game might as well have been played in October of 2011 because the Farmers are a different team than they

Pomona’s Chris Marquez (14) and the Panthers will battle Ralston Valley Friday night for the chance to advance to next week’s semifinals. Photo by Pam Wagner were a month ago. Led by senior running back Davion Amos-White Wheat Ridge has outscored their last four opponents 130-37, including last week’s 47-17 victory over No. 11 Cheyenne Mountain. South on the other hand might be the state’s best 4A unit. They have a pair of running backs in Pete Williams and Zachary Lindsay that have combined for over 1,700 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns, and their offense averages over 414 yards of offense per game. Be careful for quarterback Malik Tollerson, an athletic senior who has not only thrown 19 touchdowns this season but he also sports a quarterback rating of 107. Because of Tollerson’s athletic gifts South is able to be very creative in terms of their play calling.

* Extra point: This game will be decided up front. Both teams pride themselves on running the ball well and backing it up with solid defense. While the game likely won’t be a shootout it likely will be a four quarter thriller because both teams are very evenly matched. It’s too bad these two teams couldn’t have met later in the tournament because not only do both teams have championship aspirations but they also have the good to get it done. Look for the team with the final possession to win this game - and maybe the entire tournament. In 2A football action: No. 6 Faith Christian’s season ended with an 18-13 loss to No. 3 Bayfield Saturday at Bayfield High School. Faith Christian (8-3, 5-0), the 2A Plains league champion, fell behind 18-6 after tying the contest 6-6 early in the second quarter. The Eagles defense made adjustments and held Bayfield scoreless in the second half and their offense rallied and scored an early fourth quarter touchdown. But Bayfield’s defense as equally as tough, keeping Faith Christian out of the end zone over the final 11 minutes of game and causing a pair of turnovers to help them advance to the semifinals. Bayfield (11-0, 7-0) will host No. 7 Platte Valley (9-2, 6-1) Saturday at 1 p.m. at Platte Valley High School.
