Dog comes back worse for wear Canello vanished before having run-in with porcupine

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com After two weeks on the lam and a tussle with a porcupine, Canello curled up on a porch and turned himself in. “Evidently, he’d had enough,” said Josh Hans, public information officer for the Parker Police Department. Canello was relinquished by his owners in early December and taken in by The Buddy Center in Castle Rock. He was staying with a foster family when he disappeared on Christmas Eve. For

two weeks, residents and a Parker police animal control officer spotted the pup, but were unable to rein him in. The couple who found him in the Anthology subdivision the morning of Jan. 8 took in Canello and called police. But a series of accidents from a winter storm delayed their arrival, and the male boxer mix had to wait for medical attention. In the interim, he received a different kind of attention, the kind he hadn’t received in weeks. Canello was a shy and fearful dog when he was brought to The Buddy Center. His foster family was trying to “work on those fear issues” when he Dog continues on Page 8

PARCC test suffers amid mass opt-outs Less than one-ﬁfth of juniors took test in Douglas County By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com In Douglas County, participation rates of students in the first PARCC tests given last March veered sharply between 18 percent among the school district’s juniors to nearly 95 percent for its third-graders. The widespread opt-outs by students and parents across the county and Colorado question the validity of the results and the test, school officials said. “We took it and we had pretty good participation in our PARCC participation by younger grades, 11th-grade students in but in our uparea school districts: per grades we Douglas County: 18 had very poor percent participation,” Douglas County Littleton: 29 percent School District Jefferson County: 60 Superintendent percent Elizabeth Fagen said. “If you Cherry Creek: 31 percent want to look Elizabeth: 4.3 percent at a picture that shows the Source: Colorado whole district, Department of Education you’re not going to see it in those upper grades because of the participation.” PARCC, which stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, replaced the standardized Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP).

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com After they were married in 1951, Nancy Gripman would greet her husband’s Navy ship every time it returned to port. She often was the only one standing on the dock. Her consistent presence upon his arrival caused Bill Gripman to be razzed by his shipmates, but he didn’t care. His wife was demonstrating her devotion. Nancy had four children with Bill by their sixth wedding anniversary, and she was equally attentive to her children and their achievements. “She was president of each of our respective fan clubs,” said John Gripman, her son.

Staff report

Volunteer, seamstress and soon-to-be mom About me I’m originally from New Jersey, but I went to college all over the place. I ended up in the Midwest, which I adore. I got my master’s in library and information studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I met my husband, Andrew, on campus in 2010 (go Badgers!). He got his MBA at UW and was offered a position at DISH Network in the Meridian International Business Center, so we moved out here in 2013. We went back to Madison in January 2014 to get married in the snow. We bought our house in Stonegate last summer. A typical weekday I drive Andrew to work, which is only about five minutes away, and then spend the day looking after our Alaskan malamute, Lulu, and our two cats, Oscar and Vincent, running errands, doing chores and getting dinner ready. We’re also preparing our house for the arrival of our first child in April! Every day is different because I do what needs to get done. Additionally, I volunteer at Planned Parenthood twice a week, which I love. Just for fun My mother-in-law gave me a sewing machine for Christmas a few years ago, and last year I decided I was going to learn how to use it. I sewed a new project every month, and eventually I became proficient enough to open a small Etsy store, The Zaftig Housewife. My favorite things to sew are circle skirts; I think I spent most of the summer wearing those! I also love reading, cooking, and playing board games with my husband and our friends.

I think it’s because you really have to focus on the process of putting together a batter or dough. It allows me to shift my attention from my problem to something a lot nicer. It’s not exactly relaxing, but I love watching the Wisconsin Badgers, the Green Bay Packers and the Broncos! I hope to see a Packers/Broncos Super Bowl one of these years. How I feel about winter I like feeling cozy and warm inside while it snows outside. It’s a perfect time to read and drink tea. Our dog, Lulu, loves the snow, and it’s fun to romp around with her. She goes bonkers and it’s adorable. I definitely don’t like being cold, but Colorado winters aren’t nearly as punishing as Wisconsin ones! At least there’s still sun here in the winter. An annual tradition On Christmas Eve, Andrew and I order Chinese food and watch “Die Hard.” It’s the best Christmas movie.

After 16 weeks of grueling training, 12 South Metro Fire Rescue paramedic/firefighters were sworn into service at the PACE Center in Parker on Dec. 18. The recruits, hired in August, range in age from 24 to 45 and came to the academy with some prior firefighting and paramedic experience. The South Metro training included physical preparation, fire behavior education, automobile extrication, ladder rescue, search and rescue and more. The new paramedic/firefighters were sworn in by South Metro’s assistant chief of operations, Bill Potts. Lt. Brad Lingle, recruit train-

ing officer, said the recruits were dedicated to each other from start to finish. “I heard them say more than once: ‘Twelve in, 12 out,’” Lingle said. “They really helped each other get through each part of academy.” Fire Chief Bob Baker encouraged recruits with some advice for success, saying: “... be certain the ladder of your success is perched against the right wall; never miss the opportunity to encourage others with your words, your smile, your hug; and, never turn down matching contributions to a 457 retirement plan.” The recruits themselves honored one of their own, selecting Jeremy Maginn as the “top recruit.” Another recruit that garnered special acknowledgment was Jason Vollmer, academy valedictorian. Fitness awards went to Seth Pohlenz (most improved) and Zachary Hutchins (fittest recruit).

Noise is main concern with motorsport rules Draft regulations go to planning commission Jan. 25

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloadocommunitymedia.com Quality of life was once again the topic of discussion at the second motorsports regulations public workshop hosted by Douglas County staff. “I strongly believe that one has the right to do what they wish on their own property until it tramples the rights of those around them,” said Douglas County resident Natalie Young, who said she has no objections to motorsports but enjoys her quiet land. Young was one of more than 30 residents who spoke at the Jan. 7 meeting, the majority of whom defended their right to a quiet living environment. Motorsports is defined by the county as the operation of motor vehicles, motorcycles, off-highway vehicles and/ or snowmobiles for practice, education, recreation or competition. The regulations in question mainly pertain to motorbikes. Debate on the issue of motorsport uses on rural residential land in Douglas County was sparked Oct. 27 when the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners placed temporary regulations on motorsport uses, while directing staff to establish permanent zoning regulations.

IMPORTANT DATES Oct. 27 - Resolution on temporary regulations adopted Dec. 9 - Initial public workshop held

State Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, represents Senate District 4, which encompasses Parker, Castle Rock, Larkspur, Franktown and Castle Pines. He was elected to the state Legislature in 2008 — replacing Sen. Tom Wiens — and now serves as Senate Majority Leader. The 2016 legislative Scheffel session is the last for Scheffel, a former chairman of the Douglas County GOP, because of term limits. He answered the following questions ahead of the Jan. 13 opening of the session. What will be the biggest issues facing the legislature during the 2016 session? We are constitutionally required to

County staff faces the challenge of finding middle ground between the competing values of county residents who want the freedom to use their land as they want to for motorsport activities and those who want to protect the quiet, rural living environment they enjoy. Staff is working to clarify what motorsports activities — without additional limitations — are allowed and also identify which ones are either prohibited or subject to additional land-use regulations.

These two pieces of legislation impact the lives of all Coloradans and are two of the biggest issues we face at the Capitol. What are your goals for the session? I will maintain my commitment to support small businesses across the state, as they are the heartbeat of Colorado’s economy. Securing a bright future for our students through access to quality education will always be a top priority. Additionally, I will continue to work towards ensuring all Coloradans have access to affordable housing. Colorado and your district will be best served if the legislature… …knows when to stop. There is obviously a valid role for government in our society, however, it is equally important that we do not over-legislate.

At the first workshop Dec. 9, the county heard from community members worried about noise, dust suppression, water use and the visual impacts of motorsports. The county has been working with a noise consultant to mitigate noise concerns. Applicants must demonstrate they can limit noise to 55 decibels at the property line. Larger setbacks, berms or operational limits may be necessary if the applicant can’t meet those standards. According to staff, if a proposal cannot comply with the noise standard, then it won’t be granted. Staff also heard from motorsports fans who said the county should not restrict general riding of motorsport vehicles on properties without tracks and that it should not place arbitrary restrictions on

the number of riders or other elements of track design. In response, the county has said no limits on the number of riders or hours of use are proposed. Applicants also will have the flexibility to propose a variety of design and operational measures to demonstrate compliance. The full draft regulations are available for review at www.douglas.co.us/ proposed-zoning-regulations-for-motorsport-uses-on-rural-properties/. The formal referral period ended Jan. 13 and the proposed regulations will be brought to the Douglas County Planning Commission for a public hearing 7 p.m. Jan. 25. It will go before the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners for public hearing at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 16.

if I’m going to decide what to take and spend my time on, I’m going to spend my time on these tests that get me college credit or college entrance. I’m not going to spend my time on this test.’ And their parents agreed with them.” AP stands for Advanced Placement classes, which are taken at the high school level for college credit, and IB is the rigorous International Baccalaureate program. Although Douglas County’s test results were some of the best in the state, district officials say very little can be learned from them because of the poor participation rates. The long delay in receiving results also was not helpful for students and teachers. The results were released Dec. 11, nine months after students took the tests. The PARCC tests will be administered again in March. “I think one of the biggest challenges parents are going to have is interpret-

English language arts and math to students in third through 11th grades in 11 states plus the District of Columbia. Participation rates in neighboring districts also reflected the state’s overall low student turnout for 11th-graders. In Jefferson County, 60 percent of 11th-graders took the test. In Littleton, 29 percent of juniors participated and 30.5 percent in Cherry Creek. Fagen said she understands why students and parents decided to opt out. “What we heard from our high school kids is that the test comes at the same time as AP, IB and other tests that they really value because they see them as part of their future — and they don’t value this test,” Fagen said. “They said, ‘Look,

ing the results when they get them,” said Matt Reynolds, the district’s chief assessment and system performance officer. “It’s a brand new system for them. Now, they are going to get a brand new set of data from PARCC, and helping them understand that is going to be a challenge.” Information for parents is available on the district website as well as the Colorado Department of Education website, Reynolds said. Fagen said her own child, who was in fourth grade last year, had 20 1/2 hours of scheduled standardized testing last spring — an investment of time she calls “ridiculous.” “Teachers find these tests to be burdensome,” Fagen said. “In academic time, they are very expensive.” Because the test is new this year and cannot be compared to previous tests, the state has determined the first year of PARCC can only be used as a benchmark for future tests and won’t affect district

accreditation or funding, school board vice president Judith Reynolds said. “Our administrators and teachers do not believe that any one test should be used as the sole measurement of the academic performance of our students, only as a piece of the bigger picture,” Reynolds said. District officials said they will continue to work with CDE and the state Legislature to figure out the correct kind and appropriate amount of testing for students. School board member David Ray said although the district should try to learn what it can from PARCC results, he agreed students are being over-tested. “Our students continue to be over-tested, taking away precious learning time,” Ray said. “The fact that parents are opting their children out of taking these tests at a rapidly increasing percentage affirms this concern. It is never OK to rob students of valuable learning time to meet the needs of bureaucracy and accountability.”

Conflicting views emerge of teen suspect Sienna Johnson’s webpage allows access to her artwork, poems and journal entries

‘I knew she was going through depression, but I didn’t know it was that bad.’ Jordan McArthur,

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Prosecutors have described Sienna Johnson’s Tumblr blog, which has been taken down from the Internet, as “extremely violent.” Her Weebly personal website, still active, displays childhood and family photos in happy times, but also a journal of drawings and personal writings that reflect angst, sadness, and images and thoughts that have been construed by former friends as frightening and dark. Yet several good friends from her freshman year describe her as poetic, artistic and eccentric, a “sweet” girl whose behavior significantly changed in the past year. Portraits of Johnson, 16, who was charged as an adult Jan. 5 with conspiring to kill students and staff at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, vary depending on the source. Johnson wasn’t named until she was charged as an adult. A second 16-year-old girl also was arrested in connection with the case Dec. 12. Her name has not been released, and she has not been charged pending completion of a psychiatric evaluation. She remains in custody and has a court hearing Jan. 14 regarding possible charges. She could be named if charged as an adult. Johnson is being held on $1 million bail. She was ‘a really good friend’ For several students, who called Johnson — now a sophomore — their friend during freshman year, the portrait painted by the webpage is upsetting because they say it doesn’t portray the whole person. “Even though she was planning something horrible, she should still have some privacy because she is still just a kid,” said one girl, whose parents asked that her name not be used because of her age and the severity of the situation. The two shared an interest in poetry and would write with each other often. As with other friends, she tried to offer support and help Johnson with what she said was depression. “We got along so well and were always there for each other,” she said. Another friend from freshman year, Jordan McArthur, said Johnson’s webpage frightened some students. But McArthur also saw something else in it: “I knew she was going through depression, but I didn’t know it was that bad.” McArthur recalled how Johnson brought her a present of a necklace with a healing stone during a difficult week freshman year. She was “a sweet person and a really good friend.” She was artistic and eccentric, her friends said, and idolized Kurt Cobain, the lead singer for the rock band Nirvana who struggled with drug addiction and depression and died by suicide. Johnson’s webpage reveals intricate artwork of cartoon characters, sketches of people and collages. It also has a number of poems — at least one of which is nearly identical to a poem on another person’s website — and personal writings that reflect her feelings and thoughts.

Classmate of Sienna Johnson BACKGROUND Sienna Johnson, 16, has a photo of herself sporting a music band T-shirt on her personal webpage. “She had a pop-punk music interest and it showed through her personality,” said a student at Mountain Vista High School whose parents asked the student not be named because of her age. A recent post on a Facebook page attributed to Johnson’s mother said much of the material in Johnson’s journal was “plagiarized.” The post, in which the author identified herself as Johnson’s mother, was on the page for about a day before being removed. The post also said Johnson was “supported, encouraged and loved” and gave no signs of being troubled or of what she is accused of planning. But in the Weebly journal, one entry reads: “Somethings (sic) not right I’m aching I’m hurting the guilt, the pain.” Another says: “Sometimes I feel like the flame on a match I’m burning without light.” One of Johnson’s art pieces is a sketched figure with the words, “Can’t explain how I feel I just know it isn’t good.” Her drawings also show unborn fetuses and a man holding a gun to his head. Two of the poems on the page are titled, “Reading the Flowers of Evil” and “The Creaky Wooden Frame of a Window (I Dreamt of Falling out of).” They are difficult to comprehend, her friends said. “I never would have thought that she would think that stuff,” McArthur said. “I honestly never thought this would happen.” A different picture Johnson and her classmate were arrested Dec. 12 after a student anonymously reported the threat to the Douglas County Sherriff’s Office through Text-A-Tip, a system that allows students to report concerns about safety, drugs and other issues anonymously, according to Sheriff Tony Spurlock and Douglas County School District officials. In the Jan. 5 court hearing, prosecutors described Johnson as a threat to herself and the community, in part, because of a detailed map she created in her handwritten journal that allegedly outlined where the largest number of students would be at certain times of the school day. Also in that journal were the letters “NBK,” which prosecutors said stands for “Natural Born Killers,” a violent 1990s movie that some say inspired the Columbine High School shooters in 1999. Prosecutors said Johnson admitted to faking progress while being held in December at Children’s Hospital Colorado for a

• Sienna Johnson is 16 years old and was a sophomore at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch when she was arrested on Dec. 12. • The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Douglas County School District officials say she was planning to kill students and staff of Mountain Vista High School. • In district court Jan. 5, she was charged as an adult with two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder with extreme indifference and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after deliberation. • She is being held in secured facilities on $1 million bond. • Her lawyer has asked for a hearing March 30 in district court to move Johnson’s case to juvenile court.

psychiatric review and told detectives she was determined to carry out the threat if released. Johnson’s lawyer, public defender Ara Ohanian, has called the prosecutors’ allegations “grossly exaggerated.” Both girls’ lawyers have asked for records to be sealed. Denver media outlets have filed a request to unseal Johnson’s affidavit, in particular, because she was charged as an adult. A hearing on that issue is scheduled for Jan. 13. To follow that story, visit coloradocommunitymedia.com. Negative changes in Johnson’s behavior

• A second female student also is being detained in the matter. She is 16 years old, also a student at Mountain Vista High School. • Her attorney, Dagny Van Der Jagt, said the two teenagers were acquaintances at school who associated with each other for a short time. She also said her client is cooperating with the case and her client’s family voluntarily consented to search their home for weapons. • She has not been charged in the case, but a court hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 14 to decide if she will be and whether that will be as an adult or juvenile. • As long as she is considered a juvenile, her name will not be released. If the court determines that she is to be charged as an adult, her name will become public. • She is being held without bond. Officials would not say where she is being held.

over the past year led parents of her friends to discourage their friendship, one parent said. And worried about the content on her Tumblr blog, two friends said they reported it to a school counselor in October. Despite Johnson’s charges and the Weebly webpage that paints a complicated picture of the teen, the once-close friends expressed compassion and concern. When one learned of Johnson’s arrest, she stayed home from school for several days, so saddened about Johnson’s fate. “I do hope she gets the help she needs,” she said.

Armed man surrenders in Parker Police responded to report of possible juvenile hostage By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com An armed man thought to be holding a juvenile hostage in the Canterberry Crossing subdivision surrendered Jan. 6 An elementary school was on lockout when the Parker Police Department took Simon Ovens into custody without incident. He has been charged with child abuse and prohibited use of weapons, said Josh Hans, a police spokesman. Along with South Metro Fire, Parker Police responded to the 23000 block of

York Avenue in the Canterberry subdivision on a call of a 38-year-old male armed with a firearm possibly holding a juvenile hostage. A Parker Police Department detective who is also a Douglas County SWAT hostage negotiator was attempting to reach Ovens on the phone when he surrendered, Hans said. Ovens came out of his home at 2:30 p.m. and was taken into custody. Area roads were closed for a short time during negotiations and Frontier Valley Elementary was placed on lockout during the incident. The lockout was lifted and roads were reopened shortly after Ovens was arrested. Authorities are not releasing Ovens’ booking photo.

Once he was brought in, Canello “looked to be in good shape overall with the exception, of course, for the porcupine quills,” Rees said. Just like in the movie “Homeward Bound,” the dog’s run-in with the prickled creature left him skewered. One spine even pierced Canello’s eyelid, narrowly missing his eye. Luckily, the dog did not suffer for long. An animal control officer observed Canello on Jan. 6 and said he did not have the quills in his face or shoulder. The next day, he did. “At some point between Wednesday morning and Thursday morning is when he had his porcupine encounter,” Hans said. “(The officer) tried to get him to come to her and he wouldn’t.” It took more than three hours for a veterinarian to remove the porcupine quills, Rees said. Canello is one year and seven months old and is neutered. He is described as “shy but very sweet” and gets along well with other dogs, Rees said. “Canello is going to need some time to heal,” according to a statement from The Buddy Center. “After that he is going to need a new family and home to show him the love he has missed out on these past few weeks.” Those who are interested in adopting Canello or helping pay for his medical needs, contact the Buddy Center in Castle Rock at 303-751-5772.

Gripman Continued from Page 1

Hundreds of mourners filled the pews at Parker United Methodist Church Jan. 9 to bid farewell to Nancy Gripman, a woman who made a monumental impact on Parker up until her death on Dec. 1. But it wasn’t a somber occasion — Nancy wouldn’t want that. Instead, it was a “celebration of life” ceremony that included lighthearted tales with hints of wistfulness. Gripman was 86 years old when she passed, and rest assured that each of those years was filled to the brim with family adventures, noble philanthropic endeavors, and laughs that would last a lifetime. Gripman was well known for her giving nature. She founded the Parker Task Force Food Bank in the early 1980s, without mentioning it to her husband — Bill found out when he saw strangers walking to the barn. Gripman often noted that the food bank was the only good idea she ever had. Task force chairman Steve Budnack disagrees, saying it simply was her best idea.

Old family photos show the many happy stages of Nancy Gripman’s life. Nancy Gripman was many things, above all a “doer.” When her kids and their friends came around as youngsters, Nancy fed them all, unwittingly creating what would become endearingly known as “Ma Gripman’s Kitchen.” She attended college in the late 1940s before raising a family, and later would earn a master’s degree in nutrition, which she used to start a food program for underprivileged children in Boston. As she approached the age of 60, Nancy decided she would become a farmer. In a eulogy to her best friend,

Parker resident Genese Sweeney remarked that Heaven is now a little busier with Nancy there. Sweeney read a John Wesley quote that she believes embodies her friend’s outlook on life: “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” While sorting through his mother’s possessions in her den shortly after her passing, John Gripman discovered a scrap of paper with his mother’s handwriting on it. The note seemed to urge loved ones to not be sorrowful at her loss; “My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,” one line read. “It was one of God’s little miracles to come across it,” John Gripman said at the celebration of life service. During the Jan. 9 ceremony, mourners joined in singing an old hymn that was specifically chosen for the occasion. The echoing words rang poignant, especially given Nancy Gripman’s commitment to greet her husband as his ship arrived in the early days of their 65-year marriage. “In the sweet, in the sweet/By and by, by and by/We shall meet on that beautiful shore.”

Focusing a job search on industries that have shown strong growth and the ability to ride out waves of economic turmoil can tip the odds in your favor. Certain industries have better long-term employment outlooks than others, and men and women looking for more stability should consider these industries when pondering their next career moves.

Computer Systems Computer systems analysts and programming experts are highly coveted in today’s digital world. Many company operations are completely overseen by relatively autonomous computer systems. As technology keeps changing, employees who are able to stay abreast of the changes will only grow more valuable. Builders With more money injected into the economy, homes and businesses can once again resume growth. Laborers with skills in construction, masonry and residential building, and structure contractors can count on steady employment.

Accounting Thanks to ever-changing financial policies and greater scrutiny placed on lending practices and bookkeeping, accounting jobs remain solid career choices. Jobs in accounting can range from entry-level to more advanced (and more lucrative) positions requiring certification or a secondary education. Medicine Financial health does not safeguard people against illness, and health services are needed regardless of the state of the economy. That makes medical careers some of the most coveted and stable around. Healthcare professions can be lucrative, and careers in medicine are not restricted to doctors or nurses. Clinicians, medical

Environment Clean-energy and other environmental jobs may currently make up a small percentage of employment, but reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate jobs in this sector are growing much faster than other fields, including healthcare. Workers ready to get in on the ground level may benefit from opportunities for advancement and the stability of working in a field that figures to grow considerably over the next several decades. Green jobs include work that is primarily involved in the production of green goods and services, such as renewable energy, pollution reduction and recycling. Green jobs also are those that involve education and training related to environmental compliance. Entering the job market for the first time or reentering it with a new career direction can be intimidating. Focusing education and skills on careers that are proven winners can be the security and confidence boost professionals need.

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press With Colorado’s legislative session set to start this week, the main agenda item for Gov. John Hickenlooper seems dead on arrival, a sign that the state’s partisan divides and unorthodox spending limits will continue to paralyze it in 2016. Partisan sniping over Hickenlooper’s proposal to shuffle money around in the Report state budget to avoid having to refund it to taxpayers is setting the stage for a long standoff over balancing the books. And it underscores how a governor who depicts himself as able to transcend partisanship increasingly seems captive to it. The topic of debate is the usual suspect: money. Hickenlooper wants lawmakers to reclassify about $750 million next year coming from a fee on hospital patients. The reclassification would remove that sum from Colorado’s constitutional spending limits and allow the state to spend more money without asking voters, as would otherwise be required under the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights. Hickenlooper says the hospital fee is Colorado’s best shot at paying for road improvements, education, a new state water distribution plan and other priorities. Colorado attracted about 100,000 new residents last year, and the governor says the state needs to keep tax collections even if they’re growing faster than the spending cap allows. “What are the alternative plans that have been generated to produce the kind of revenues we need to move the state forward?’’ Hickenlooper said Jan. 6. “I so far haven’t seen a place where there is sufficient revenue to build the kind of infrastructure this state needs to compete.’’ Democratic House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst this week called the hospital fee reclassification a “fix” to avoid refunding excess tax collections to taxpayers. “We should be using that money to invest in infrastructure, to invest in education,’’ Hullinghorst said. “If we don’t do that, we are putting our Colorado way of life at risk.’’ But the plan is going over like a lead balloon with the GOP, which controls the state Senate and has an equal say on the budget-writing committee. Republicans have called Hickenlooper’s budget proposal a “shell game.’’ GOP Senate President Bill Cadman even called reporters to his office Jan. 6 to describe the plan as illegal. He cited a nonbinding legal opinion from the Legislature’s own lawyers, an opinion Democrats dispute but could gird Republican opposition to the plan. “This will not stand,’’ Cadman declared. Without some support from the GOP, Hickenlooper’s budget plan is doomed. The governor seemed glum this week about his options. The alternatives, he said, won’t work. One would be to ask voters about keeping money that exceeds constitutional spending limits. Voters overwhelmingly defeated a 2013 ballot measure backed by Hickenlooper to increase taxes for education. “If you went and took it to the voters, I think it’s highly possible, let’s just say that, that they’d vote it down,’’ Hickenlooper said. Another option — issuing bonds to pay for road improvements — wouldn’t likely generate enough money to do the job, Hickenlooper said. The GOP wants Democrats to consider issuing bonds to pay for road upgrades, a plan Cadman called “a pretty good idea.’’ And the GOP says Democrats are ignoring a cashhungry elephant in the room — Medicaid spending. They argue that Colorado’s budget woes are being caused by Democrats’ decision to expand Medicaid — some of it as part of the federal health care overhaul, some of it because of changes instituted by Democrats. Colorado is spending about $2.5 billion this year on the health care plan for the needy, and the governor projects that number to go up another $80 million next year. “Putting more people onto Medicaid is eating up more and more of the budget,’’ House Republican Leader Brian DelGrosso said. Both sides said the chilly climate at the Capitol this week doesn’t mean the parties and the governor won’t mend fences. Hickenlooper worked with a divided Legislature when he first took office, and the budget impasse doesn’t mean he’s incapable of working across the aisle, Republicans said. “We can do this,’’ Cadman said.

Making change can suit you to a ‘T’ This is the most popular time of the year when people will attempt to make a change in their lives. Some will set out determined to make a significant change or turnaround in their lives, maybe even kick a habit they have been battling with for many years. Others will still have change on their minds, however, they may be looking to make more subtle changes and adjustments as opposed to radical transformations. And maybe some people are happy just where they are at this time of life. If you are one of the folks setting out to make a change in your life as we enter the New Year, think about the three T’s of change: Time, Tenacity and Teamwork. The understanding of time in its relation to change is often overlooked. There seems to be an expectation that just because there is a desire for change or transformation, the change will happen quickly. If the habit we wish to break or the pattern we wish to disrupt took many years to develop, the chances are that it will take a significant amount of time to get back to where we want to be. Now, do not let that reality scare you from making the changes that you want to see for yourself. Just develop an appre-

ciation of the time and patience it will take to realize success. Change comes easy for some, and for others it is quite difficult. Not only do we need to exercise patience and how much time it could take to reach our change goals, it also requires tenacity. SetMichael Norton ting a plan and doing whatever it takes each WINNING and every day to stick WORDS to the plan. Becoming tenacious in our efforts, in our sacrifices, and in our resolve to achieve the successful change we want to see in our own lives. Time. Tenacity. Lastly, the third T has to do with teamwork. Why go it alone? There are coaches, friends, trainers, family members, peer groups and so many other available resources that can help us achieve the change we want to see in our lives, and they can possibly even help expedite the process. Align

yourself with a good accountability partner, find others who are trying to achieve the same thing that you are striving to achieve. Meet daily, whether in person or via text or email. Create some communication vehicle that works with everyone’s schedule and then share what’s working and what’s not. Share lessons learned and best practices. Teamwork goes a long way and is so important as we attempt to make a successful change in our life. Time. Tenacity. Teamwork. How about you? Are you looking to make a change this year? Is it a big change or just maybe a small adjustment? Either way, I would love to hear all about how you are doing it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we understand the time it takes to make a change, attack our plan with tenacity, and surround ourselves with the right team members who can drive and support us, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR County should do the neighborly thing Douglas County Commissioners, Douglas County Planning Department: Douglas County neighbors, this is my golden rule: “Do what is neighborly and everything will be fine and calm.” On the contrary, if you proceed on your own selfish wants and desires that are contrary to the neighborhood and the neighbors’ lifestyle and wishes, things don’t turn out as well. You get a different reaction and an upsetting situation. This is what we now have in rural Douglas County in the area of Perry Park Road and Tomah Road. The new property owner did not consult or follow the Douglas County Comprehensive Master Plan. The problem property is located in an Agricultural One Zone. I believed this individual decided to build a track for motorsports because it is easier to ask forgiveness than to ask for permission. When you see the surrounding beauty of the area and how it is used for ranching, wildlife corridors and view sheds, you will understand how motorsports racing doesn’t fit. I believe Douglas County has areas that

might support a commercial tract for this sport, namely Industrial Zoning. Four-lane road access would be needed along with noise and dust monitoring. I believe noise and dust regulations need to be put in place for private tracks also. Listening to speakers at the recent county meeting, on this subject, motorsports owners said they can be neighborly by installing correct mufflers and by having open conversations with surrounding neighbors and mitigating any and all concerns. It is the neighborly thing to do! I’m urging the Douglas County planning staff to reject what has been built and have the ground returned to its original state and ground cover. Let’s follow the guidelines of the Non Urban Land Area of the County Master Plan listed below. Preserve: “Rural Character, Agricultural Lifestyle, Historical and Cultural features, Retain community character, proper management, wildlife habitat & movement corridors, `small town’ feel and quietness, preservation of rural landscape, natural habitats,

Elaine Mueller Franktown Health insurance mandate needs to go I hope the next administration will get rid of the “required” mandate for medical insurance (Obamacare). Regardless of good intentions, did anyone actually think the insurance companies would lower their rates if they have to insure everyone, regardless of pre-existing conditions? Personally, I believe everyone should be insured, but it needed to have been done differently. To raise rates on the majority of consumers to insure a small percentage doesn’t make any sense. It also doesn’t “guarantee” those with pre-existing conditions will be able to afford the “required” insurance. In order to get Medicaid in Colorado, one’s income has to be $1200 or less a month.

Warning: Everyday life may cause irritation What’s the matter? Your car didn’t come with turn signals? Tailgating is a contributing factor in over 600 million automobile accidents each year. Anyone who hits the head of an aisle seat passenger with their carry-on bag will experience irritable vowel syndrome within 48 hours. Or should. Anyone who is on the phone during checkout is a rude bag of dead fish-smelling garbage. Maybe you have noticed: I am getting a few things off my chest. Hand talkers should be sent to Sing Sing. (Channel 4 News has a doozy.) Anyone who chews gum with an open mouth should be sent to a Brighton farm to watch some cows. Dogs are supposed to be on leashes in this community. Are they? Not always. Owners are supposed to pick up after their dogs in this community. Do they? Not always. Those who don’t, let’s see? I still think irritable vowels. Why don’t you pay better attention to those around you in a grocery store?

“I think I’m alone now. There doesn’t seem to be anyone around.” Hey. And your kids. A grocery store is not a birthday party. I just received a gift. My friend Craig Marshall Smith made a small QUIET mistake. She asked DESPERATION the employee to pack and ship the package to me. The employee sent the wrong bowls, a box of jumbled chocolates, and something else. Her half-used tin of Smith’s Rosebud Salve. By the way, without making any claims or aspersions, the package came from Wyoming. Waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves should be cuffed, dragged out and tied to a chair in a screening room.

What’s showing? A documentary. Nancy Grace’s biography. Half of the time half of us are completely unaware that what we do and don’t do can be an irritant to someone else. Park. Lock. Honk. Park. Lock. Honk. A decibel is defined as “Ten times the logarithm of the power ratio.” Right. A car horn is 100 decibels. That’s just 10 decibels under “deafening.” Instead? Park. Lock. Walk away. Park. Lock. Walk away. Do you need pretty sideline reporters? I don’t need pretty sideline reporters. I resent the “w” in “answer,” that’s how deep my concerns are. George R.R. Martin, who writes “Game of Thrones,” missed the deadline for the sixth book. I am aching inside. Or maybe not. Perhaps you thought “irritable vowels” was a typo. It wasn’t. It would be irresponsible of me to wish irritable bowel syndrome on someone. It’s not funny. But the word “bowel” is funny. You can’t get around that.

“Irritable Bowels” sounds like the name of a band. It probably is. Irritable bowel syndrome affects between 25 and 45 million people in the United States, and most of them are female. Discomfort can include severe debilitation. On the other hand, irritable vowel syndrome means you can’t remember if it’s “I before E except after C” or “E before I except after C.” Not only that, you can’t remember the correct order of the vowels in “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.” You will embarrass your children when you sing the song to them, a suitable punishment, I think, for hitting me on the head with your carry-on. There are a lot of things that get me by the fetlocks and twist my disposition. Many of them are unmentionable here. Life is an artful balance of taking the good with the bad. If the bad is winning, I just listen to the Everly Brothers, and it’s a beautiful day. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Barb Adams Parker Not everyone questions their faith Re: “A question of faith”; Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 editions Thank you for your in-depth look at this important topic. The article did a thorough job of exploring one aspect of the evolving faith life in our society; in places, it painted with an overly broad brush, I feel. Liam Michael seems like an intelligent, articulate young man. And if atheism is right for him, that’s great. I respect his choice for his life. What I do not respect is his telling me that organized religion is not necessary, even a bad idea. For him, perhaps. But not for me, nor for over about 200 million other Americans, not to mention billions of others across our planet. He refers to “the bad reputation of most religions.” Really? Perhaps that’s his view, and I respect his right to express his views. But as his feelings, not as fact. You also called upon John Robert Kinsey, a lecturer at CU, who takes harsh shots at Kim Davis and Hobby Lobby. Apparently Mr. Kinsey is one of the growing number of people on our college campuses who disrespect anyone who doesn’t believe what they believe. Sad. Another of your sources, Karen Silverman, states that, “Families also place much less importance on religious education... .” It sounds like she’s referring to all families. Not mine, nor many others I know. Again, a sweeping statement

the fall triggered by China’s slower growth and the drop in oil that triggered another round of market swings in November did not hold out before the year closed.

A fourth source, Amy Scott Grant, says, “Young people don’t want to be told what God is or isn’t.” It sounds like she’s referring to all young people. Again, a false statement. She goes on, “... traditional religions hold views about God that feel archaic and untouchable to young people.” All young people? Really? I know for a fact that is not the case. While I appreciate the story, I do not appreciate the one-sided nature of it, and the statements of fact when what these sources are really doing is expressing their feelings, and the broad-strokes accusations made. I respect each of these people and their right to believe — or not believe — what they choose, and what works for them, as well as their right to express their views. My religion teaches me that. But don’t position those feelings as fact, and don’t apply them to everyone. It simply isn’t true. Skip Schweiss Parker Religion should not be discounted I am hoping that you will now have an article in your newspaper by someone who believes in God. You state that 35 percent of Millennials are religiously unaffiliated. What about the other 65 percent? I am sure that most of them would not agree with this slanted article. Do you know what the world would be like without organized religion? Churches and those affiliated with them spend millions of hours and millions of dollars throughout the world doing good. Whenever there is a disaster, it is church groups that are the first ones there to help. I think that diversity and tolerance are wonderful but do not think that religion and a belief in God should be discounted. Many of the problems that we are having in this world are due to the fact that religion is being forced out of our schools and our country. We need to take a step back and realize what we are losing when we “do not think that a belief in God is even a good idea.” Charlyn Young Parker

This appeared to put more pressure on all negative indicators, pushing worldwide markets lower. This increased volatility comes on the heels of the Federal Reserve Board raising interest rates for the first time in nine years. While most analysts do not think that action

alone would have driven markets significantly lower, the consumer fears that the Fed is tightening while the rest of the world is easing continues to push the dollar higher and stress trade balances. Generally speaking, no one is happy. Earnings season will likely continue on the path of deteriorating profit reports for America’s blue chip companies.

His older sister, Christina, used social media to spread word of her family’s tragedy. “It was the best method for us to, unfortunately, convey what had happened,” she said. “It was a way for us to tell everyone rather than having to tell people one by one.” More and more, social media is becoming an outlet to not only do just that — communicate what has happened in a simple, immediate way — but also a forum in which to express grief and impart comfort during times of tragedy and sorrow. Social media provides a digital community that allows users to share stories and positive wishes during the grieving process, which can often help those affected carry the burden of loss, said Kim Gorgens, associate professor of clinical psychology at University of Denver. “Grieving rituals have always been about exaggerating a sense of community at that period of time,” she said. “Anything that makes that more accessible and available on a larger scale can be a very good thing.” It’s not surprising that social media has evolved as a grieving platform, considering that 72 percent of American adults use Facebook and 69 percent of those users regularly see news about people and events in their communities on the site, according to Pew Research Center.

Sharing memories, extending support Julia Kapustka, who met Lujan while attending Colorado State University, described the Highlands Ranch resident as one of the best people she’d ever met. She found out about his death, which occurred at a Larimer County reservoir, from a status on Facebook. After Kapustka let the sudden loss of her friend sink in, she, too, posted a status. “Still in shock over the loss of such a wonderful person,” she wrote. “William J. Lujan I will remember you forever and am so thankful for every minute that I knew you and got to spend with you, rest in peace.” She immediately received phone calls from friends and classmates who wanted to know what had happened to him. Then, they, too, posted comments. Lujan’s profile was filled with hundreds of messages, photos and videos following his

death, Kapustka said. “They were sharing the memories they shared with him,” she said. “And those posts are permanent — something people can always see.” A similar instance of grieving and remembering occurred on Facebook in the recent death of addictions counselor John

Alan Rutter, 55, who died in a Jan. 2 fire that left an Arvada commercial building in ruins. Even before the worst was confirmed — that Rutter had not made it out of the building in time — friends, clients and coworkers posted remembrances of the man on Facebook. The same spreading of comfort and memories happened in the

deaths of Nicole Weber, a Highlands Rancharea graduate attending the University of Colorado-Boulder, who died in a December traffic accident, and Colin Brough, a Castle Rock resident shot and killed at Northern Arizona University in October.

someone who has died turns into a memorial page, according to Psychology Today magazine. Even though that person is gone, a virtual identity exists, which combined with the remembrances and grief felt by others can help those left behind cope with loss, experts in the psychology field say. It has helped Lujan’s sister, Christina, who felt astronomical support from friends, family and her community after her brother’s death. “The amount of messages we received in the aftermath,” she said. “And to see the memories through writing and pictures that we didn’t even know existed.” Creating a sense of community After the Arapahoe High School shooting in 2013, social media became a way for the community to come together in a time of darkness. Anna Sutterer, now a sophomore at the University of Missouri, was a senior at Arapahoe when a student killed another student, then himself, on school grounds.

Julia Kapustka, 22, of Fort Collins, found out about the death of close friend William Julian Lujan from a Facebook post. And in response, she posted her condolences. Screen captures taken from Twitter Sutterer was hiding with 25 other students in the corner of her AP Lit class when she heard gunshots ring through the school. After the shooting, she was taken to a nearby church before returning home. That evening, Sutterer saw a flood of posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter about the shooting. Some students were expressing their post-traumatic stress while others were blogging updates.

“Someone posted about a candlelight vigil on Facebook,” she remembered. Fellow students organized the candlelight vigil, which took place a day later and drew hundreds of members from the community. Facebook and Twitter helped spread the word. But the social media onslaught of information and grieving eventually overloaded Sutterer. She stopped checking social me-

dia sites because the posts kept the incident fresh in her mind, she said. “I couldn’t look at Instagram for a few days because it was just overwhelming,” she said. “I needed to see other things.” Sutterer held off on posting on social media so she could let everything sink in. In the initial shock period following a tragedy, such as a school shooting, it’s difficult to comprehend what’s going on, she said. “I understand that people want to be a part of spreading a message,” she said. “But I like to wait and really think about what happened and how it affected me.” Seeing repeated posts about tragedy can become tiresome for social media users, Gorgens said. It may result in compassion fatigue — an exaggerated stress response or, oppositely, a lack of emotional response. “The magnitude of your grief response is limited by how many times you have to use it,” she said. But that’s not the case for every tragedy. For Christina Lujan, social media allowed friends and family, near and far — even some people she didn’t know — to come together to share their sorrow, offer comfort and support each other. “Ultimately, they were expressing their condolences,” she said. “It was all done out of a caring place.”

during third quarter reports in 2015 and continued through year end. January is an important earnings season in that many companies will also provide the 2016 outlook. It may be difficult to muster up some good news when trading partners are teetering on recession and manufacturing and commodities production worldwide is declining. The bright spot seems to be employment, which continues to improve, along with some select sectors such as health care. While every cloud may have a silver lining, it may be hard to determine at this point when that will appear. Investors should remember that in fact, the opportunities do always appear, and usually when least expected. Therefore, make certain you are minimizing expenses and debt and increase savings and investments while prices are low. This can pad your long-term objectives significantly over time. Keep those short-term emergency reserves liquid and plan diligently for large expenses. Be aware if any debt on a floating interest rate is rising and plan carefully to maximize your 401k and retirement plan. These basic steps can keep you from following the crowd when that behavior is detrimental. When reviewing your portfolio, be sure to look back five years or more to get the bird’s-eye perspective. Nothing lasts forever, and this current downturn will be no exception.

Restaurants provided an even bigger boost to local economies, returning 79 percent of their revenue compared to just 30 percent for the national chain restaurants.

History of Douglas County Highlands Ranch Historical Society presents “Telling the History of Douglas County: In the Beginning,” from 7-8:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18, at the Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road, upstairs auditorium, Highlands Ranch. Complimentary light refreshments served at 6:30 p.m. Program will introduce you to historical information that you likely never knew about Douglas County.

Program is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19, at Bemis Public Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton. As Denver has grown to become the hub of a major American metropolis, remnants of its earlier heritage have vanished into history, leaving longtime residents to ask, “Where has my Denver gone?” Barnhouse will celebrate what the city once built and has since lost, places such as the RKO Orpheum Theater, which was demolished for a parking lot, the Home Public Market at 14th and California, which was similar to Seattle’s Pike Market, old Elitch Gardens, and much more. Copies of the author’s book, “Lost Denver,” will be available for sale and signing. Call 303-795-3961.

Indie book shop keeps pages turning Poor Richard’s in downtown Parker ﬁlls niche

HOURS OF OPERATION AND CONTACT INFORMATION

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com

Poor Richard’s Book Shoppe, 19402 E. Mainstreet, Unit 5, is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 on Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

Having grown up without a television, Richard Fitch’s main source of entertainment was classic stories by renowned authors. Even today, he finds himself surrounded by books — 20,000 of them, to be approximate. Fitch is the proprietor of Poor Richard’s Book Shoppe, a backalley establishment in downtown Parker that opened in fall 2008. A growing number of people might view paper books as a dying medium, and while the store isn’t racking up thousands in sales per day, there is still a thirst for the real thing. Fitch admits to feeling a sense of duty to be a local source for new and used titles, many of them contemporary works, and believes books will remain “as long as us old people are around.” But he also acknowledges that today’s treasure might be tomorrow’s trash, and aptly compares the transition to digital to the process in which “sci-fi eventually becomes science non-fiction.” “In all honesty, it’s a hobby for me. It gives me a reason to get out of bed and get out of the house,” says Fitch, whose amiable personality and friendly

Richard Fitch says running Poor Richard’s Book Shoppe is not a money-making venture, but rather an enjoyable hobby. Photos by Chris Michlewicz

Poor Richard’s Book Shoppe, which opened in downtown Parker in 2008, carries many of the classics. smile produce a welcoming air at Poor Richard’s. “I like to meet people and just be around books. As long as it pays its

way, I don’t need to make a million dollars.” A portion of the customers at Poor Richard’s are actually local high school students seeking books for reading assignments. The most popular titles each year are fairly consistent — “The Great Gatsby,” “Catcher in the Rye,” “Lord of the Flies,” and “1984.” However, one novel that Fitch says “transcends ages” is always at the top: Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” There was a brief period three or four years ago in which sales took a major hit. It was the holiday season when the Nook and Kindle were popular gifts. But sales rebounded and have been steady ever since. Fitch, a Kindle owner himself, admits to being a klutz and says he worries about dropping the electronic device in the ocean

or on a sidewalk. That’s why, when he goes on weeklong excursions to Mexico, he brings as many as 10 paperback titles with him. Fitch grew up on classics like “Robin Hood” and “Black Beauty” and now steers toward action-adventure novels by authors like Clive Cussler and David Baldacci. Poor Richard’s carries everything from obscure books to top sellers by Nora Roberts and Janet Evanovich. Its shelves also hold works by local authors like Naomi Gaede-Penner, Sandy Whelchel and Virginia White, a retired teacher whose recent book, “Warren the Honking Cat,” is prominently displayed. Opening up The former high school Spanish teacher didn’t envision owning a bookstore until he was laid up in the late 1990s with health problems. His recovery gave him an opportunity to dive into reading for pleasure again. He was further inspired by a series of books by Denver author John Dunning starring Cliff Janeway, an ex-cop turned

bookstore proprietor. Fitch amassed a collection of 4,500 books, and when his wife insisted he clear them out, he suggested opening a bookstore in downtown Wellington, Kansas, where the shop operated for three years. After his wife passed away, Fitch moved his life and his store to Parker, a place where he has family. He first discovered Parker in 1975 while briefly working for the concrete company that paved roads in the Pinery. It was always a goal of his to come to Parker. Fitch finds his alcove behind Parker Garage and just off Mainstreet to be the ideal spot. The weekly farmers’ market and many festivals in downtown Parker during the summer bring a stream of pedestrians past (and sometimes through) his door. It’s not too busy and not overly quiet. Fitch gets occasional help from a part-time employee, but outside of that, he mans the shop throughout the week. “I enjoy the work, but don’t want to have to work too hard,” he says with a laugh.

S1 The cast of “Green Day’s American Idiot” performs the rock opera at the Aurora Fox Theater. Production by Ignite Theatre Company. Courtesy photo

Rock opera is based on two albums by Grammy-winning band Green Day By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Jesus of Suburbia Medley,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “St. Jimmy,” “Extraordinary Girl,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Whatsername” and a couple dozen more songs carry the powerful rock opera “Green Day’s American Idiot” with almost no spoken dialogue. Ignite Theatre delivers a high-energy, high volume show, a regional premiere at the Aurora Fox, based on the band Green Day’s extremely popular 2004 album, “American Idiot,” plus songs from a later release, “21st Century Breakdown.” Broadway director Michael Mayer heard the album, described as a response to the post-9/11 era, and approached the band and leader Billie Joe Armstrong with the idea of creating a stage musical. (Mayer had recently directed the successful “Spring Awakening.”) The production first appeared at Berkeley Rep in 2009 and opened on Broadway in 2010, winning Tony Awards for Scenic and Lighting Design. Armstrong, for limited periods, stepped into the cast as the drug dealer, St. Jimmy, which drew record crowds, of course. Directed by Jefferey Parizotto and backed by a together band, led by guitarist Jason Tyler Vaughn, music is strong — the story, not so much. New York Times critic

Charles Isherwood described “a glorious 20-minute temper tantrum” at the beginning, set in a dive club, staged here with the same papered walls of colorless posters and three blinking TV sets across the back. This cast delivers, with strobe lights and smoke. Three disaffected young suburban types leave home and head for the city, where they have different experiences, framed by drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll and songs by leads Johnny, Tunny and Will and a cast of assorted city types. Will (Caleb Reed) is sidelined early as his girlfriend Heather (McKenna Raquel Seckman) becomes pregnant and he mostly sits on a sofa, stoned and drunk throughout, while Tunny (Brandon Jay Lopez) is inspired by military recruiters to enlist and is sent to Iraq, where his leg is injured. He meets a nurse, Extraordinary Girl, who heals him and loves him. Johnny (a talented Brandon Robertson) spots Whatsername (the excellent Ignite regular Lindsey Falduto) in a second-story window and steamy romance takes over until drugs exert a stronger pull. Here, we meet floating, androgynous drug dealer St. Jimmy, who is portrayed by Valerie Igoe. Nothing subtle here in terms of melody or character development, as is often the case with classical opera, but one is engaged through the 90 minutes, which seem to move fast. Some will find the language offensive and those overly sensitive to lights and loud sound should seek alternate entertainment. (I was saddened to see a very distressed young child leaving in tears.)

A granby is a reversal from the bottom in which the wrestler performs a roll, as demonstrated by Chaparral’s Aaron Trygstad, left, and Dawson Cranmer.

Wrestlers sport all the right moves Prep athletes combine new techniques with classic moves

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school wrestlers have become stronger and more technically advanced over the years. “Wrestling is evolving all the time,” said Pomona coach Sam Federico, citing an increase in club and year-round participation. Still, the basic moves from yesteryear remain the foundation of the sport. Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis, a former two-time Colorado state champion wrestler, said you will see many of the same moves in matches today as years ago. “In wrestling, long story short, it’s the same,” he said. McNellis can list myriad tried-andtrue moves. For example, there is the high C, which stands for high crotch, in which the wrestler reaches the inside of one of the opponent’s legs, and with knees bent low and head up, finds himself in a good

position to earn takedown points. Legacy coach Mike Thompson also agrees the best moves are the old ones, but said the setups have changed. “I’ve been around wrestling since the ’70s and the best techniques are the ones that date back to the ’70s,” he said. “The biggest changes I’ve seen are the type of setups being used and the type of chain wrestling (method of linking offensive moves and counters together) being used and the scramble situations created by the chain wrestling. “Some of that is due to the rules changes, and the positioning of a wrestler has changed a little bit, which creates a little bit more scrambling, but the actual move that is initiated is still the basic single, double, cradle and stuff like that. How it is set up and finished are some of the changes that have come in, which has also created some scramble situations and more need for chain wrestling.” Chaparral coach Rod Padilla often spends practice sessions drilling his wrestlers on moves, counter moves and instruction on how to work out of situations, which is important once a wrestler is in a match and all it takes is a quick

suggestion to start a new move. While the basics haven’t changed, wrestlers are influenced to try new things. “There will be waves of going to a different move that is more popular,” McNellis said. “Usually it has to do with if there is a popular Olympic wrestler who does something really well. Jordan Burroughs is right now the best in the world at the blast double. I’ve seen that trickle down. I’ve seen a lot of kids now hitting a blast double more than, say, a single or something like that.” The blast double is a powerful takedown that looks a lot like a tackle in football, where the wrestler grabs both legs of the opponent and forces or tackles him to the mat. Wrestling still comes down to mental and physical toughness and executing your best and favorite moves. Mosha Schwartz, a 106-pounder from Ponderosa, knows what he likes. “I like to go low singles and fireman’s maybe,” said Swartz, referring to the single-leg takedown and fireman’s carry moves. “It all depends on how guys are reacting to my moves.”

Change for the better Englewood High School graduate Bob McCaslin has been a referee for 46 years and said high school wrestling has changed for the better, especially considering the health of wrestlers. “It’s more about keeping the kids safe more than it was in the old days,” he said. “It was more Greco-Roman, a more brutal sport where you had to finish and win. Kids wouldn’t eat for a week to make weight. If I walk into a gym as an official and I see something wrong I can disqualify a wrestler, because you are not allowed to cut weight like they used to.” Injury timeouts have been a big improvement. “You shouldn’t punish a kid for being a diabetic or you shouldn’t punish a kid for asthma,” McCaslin said. “If you couldn’t breathe you would have to leave the mat, now they give you injury time to take care of those kind of situations. You couldn’t take medication like a diabetic to get some sugar in him or an asthmatic to use one of those inhalers. That was never allowed and I could never understand it.” — Jim Benton

A GRASP OF THE BASICS There are many moves that sometimes go by different names that are used by wrestlers to create takedowns or pin opponents. Listed is a basic description of some of the top moves obtained from a variety of sources. Single-leg takedown — From the neutral position, a wrestler uses a quick aggressive shot to the closest leg of the opponent, wrapping his or her arms around the leg while locking hands together. Double-leg takedown — Similar to the single-leg takedown while standing. The wrestler grabs both legs of the opponent and locks his or her hands. Grabbing both legs gives the advantage of being able to drive or slam the opponent. High C — A move similar to the doubleleg takedown, but the wrestler reaches the inside of one of the opponent’s legs and, with knees bent low and with the head up, the wrestler finds himself in a good position to earn takedown points. Half-nelson — This move is good for executing a pin. One arm is slipped under the opponent’s armpit with the hand wrapped around the back of his neck. The free hand holds the opponent’s

other hand so the half-nelson can’t be broken. Ankle pick — Quick hands can get the opponent on the mat with this low-risk move. With one hand on the opponent’s neck, the move in the reaction of the hands forces the opponent to step with the other leg. That’s when the ankle of the opposing wrestler can be grabbed with the free hand to put the opposition off balance. Fireman’s carry — This is another good takedown from the up position which requires both strength and quickness, where the wrestler crouches on one knee and picks up the opponent and tilts him or her over the shoulder.

Leg sweep — This move can take the opponent to the mat hard. Basically a wrestler has his arms inside the opponent’s arms and uses his or her own legs to cause the opponent to fall. This is also used for the leg trap movement. Sprawl — When facing an opponent who loves to shoot, sprawling helps prevent takedowns by scooting legs back away from the opponent’s reach. Granby — This reversal from the bottom can prevent a loss or create a win. The bottom wrestler straightens up slightly, cross steps under the body and perform a roll to the inside shoulder. Cradle — All the opponent can do is struggle with his hands. The wrestler grabs the opponent’s neck with one arm and wraps

his or her elbow behind the opponent’s knee while locking both hands together. Bump to tight-waist — This is good to control the opponent from the top position. With arm tight around the waist, the wrestler blocks the front arm near the elbow with his or her arm and eventually breaks down the opponent. Arm drag — With the opposing arm, the wrestler grabs the opponent’s wrist and hooks the other arm from the neutral position, and with a shoveling move pushes the opponent’s arm to the mat. Gazzoni — This is an escape move from the referee’s bottom position where the wrestler kicks his feet out, pushes back and comes to his or her feet while grabbing the opponent’s lower hand. Blast double — This powerful takedown looks like a football tackle, in which the wrestler grabs both legs of the opponent and forces or tackles him to the mat.

Titans second at wrestling tournament Legend takes runner-up in dual-format event

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Titans declined to play the role of gracious hosts as they finished second in the team standings at the 20-team, dual-match tournament held Jan. 9 at Legend High School. “Our team did a good job,” Titans coach Nick Rider said about his team’s performance. “We lost to Valley in the championship match. I feel we did well as we weren’t at full strength, and I had two junior varsity kids in our lineup, and we didn’t have a 120-pounder for the tournament.” Avid wrestling fans should have enjoyed the tournament as there was nonstop action on five mats all

rest, Vista Peak and Liberty. The 3-0 record meant the Titans joined Arapahoe, Valley and Hastings in a pool match to determine the team champion. Legend defeated Arapahoe, but lost to Valley in the tournament championship dual match. Between matches, the Legend coach talked about his team. “We are a pretty good team overall,” Rider said. “Seniors make up about half our team this season. We also have some good young wrestlers who are doing well for us. Right now, we have some of our starters out with injuries. We hope we’ll get them back soon because regionals are not all that far away.” He said he liked Legend hosting the tournament this time of the season because traditionally the kids are a bit rusty after the holiday break and the tournament gets them to once again focus on wrestling.

“All our kids are working hard and improving,” Rider said. “I try to get our young kids varsity experience when I can. Today, for example, I moved two kids up from our JV squad, which allowed them to get varsity mat time.” Wrestling is a family tradition for Legend 138-pounder Adam Aguilar. “My two older brothers were wrestlers, I grew up wrestling with them, and I guess that helped make wrestling my favorite sport,” the Legend senior said. “Wrestling is my only sport, and I wrestle all year.” Aguilar said he is a better wrestler now than was at this time last year. “I worked a lot of technique during the club season,” he said. “I feel I am better on the mat, so I worked on moves and techniques to help me score reversals, escapes and back points, and to get pins.”
