Senior center to discuss housing proposal Preliminary plan would pair residences, activities center By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Parker Senior Center board of directors will discuss a proposal that incorporates a new senior center into a housing project for aging residents. The board will discuss the proposal

at a membership meeting at 12:30 p.m. March 15 at the Parker Senior Center. It will be attended by those representing the preliminary proposal, which was first discussed in a meeting at the center Pickert last month. If approved by members and, later, town officials, the project would be built on the current Parker Senior Center site

at 10675 Longs Way, near downtown Parker. The initial concept design is for a fourstory building. The senior center would occupy the main floor of the building and apartment homes would be on the second through fourth floors. It would increase the amount of space from roughly 8,000 square feet to 11,000 square feet, said Marty Pickert, a Parker resident who is trying to build community interest in affordable senior housing. The developer,

Community Capital Corp., would pay for construction of the senior center, provide it with maintenance and pay $2 million. The senior housing would be for rent and available for seniors who qualify for affordable housing. A one-bedroom would rent for about $750 a month and a two-bedroom for $875. The development team will apply for funds from the Colorado Housing and Center continues on Page 9

A procedural snag has delayed a proposal to use the Parker Library space for a school once the library moves into its new building downtown. The Douglas County School District proposed a new K-8 school that will be modeled after Plum Creek Academy, which caters to high school students with emotional and behavioral needs. The district’s effort to purchase the 20,285-square-foot space in the Parker Crossroads Shopping Center at South Parker Road and Mainstreet was halted by a lack of compliance with state law. Jones Lang LaSalle, a commercial real estate services firm for Denver-area corporations and investors, sent an email Nov. 11 to Parker’s deputy community development director, Steve Greer, to notify the Town of Parker that the school district Property continues on Page 7

FACES AMONG US

HELLO

... My Name Is

PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY A glimpse of the people in our community

WAYNE ICE Cycling enthusiast, father of three About me I grew up in Indiana in the middle of the proverbial corn fields. I attended a few years in Bloomington at Indiana University, where I majored in socializing. As most students who take this track can tell you, it is quite entertaining but not very fruitful for a career. I realized this was only going to get me into serious debt, so I transferred back to my hometown of Muncie. After a brief hiatus from college life, I attended Ball State University and completed a degree in nuclear medicine. I had the privilege of living in several places throughout the country before settling in Colorado, including the eastern shore of Virginia, Chicago, Illinois, Charleston, South Carolina, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, Florida. My wife and I moved to Parker in 2011 after living in Castle Rock and Lone Tree for six years, and it is hands down one of the best places we have ever lived. We love the sense of community, especially all the activities on Mainstreet and the PACE Center. We live close to Legend High School and there are trails and parks everywhere around us to explore. A typical weekday Life is definitely busy in our household as we juggle two careers and three beautiful and active kids. My wife is an occupational therapist for Douglas County schools, and I am a diagnostic imaging manager at Denver Health. Spring and summer time are very busy after work because our 10-yearold daughter is in competitive gymnastics (shout out to Scale Gymnastics) here in Parker, our 8-yearold daughter plays baseball (not “softball,” she would want me to point out) for the Parker Hawks, and our 5-year-old son plays flag football in the i9 League. Just for fun About three years ago, I rediscovered my passion

Parker resident Wayne Ice crosses the ﬁnish line at the Copper Triangle. Courtesy photo for bike riding. I first started riding my mountain bike, but after about a year of riding and increasing distances I realized how inefficient my bike was so I converted to a road bike. It has been great meeting other folks in Parker that ride as well, and there’s nothing like riding in the mountains. One of my favorite organized rides is the Copper Triangle in August. I have logged over 4,000 miles since my rediscovery of bike riding and plan to log thousands more. I also enjoy softball, hiking and skiing, but admittedly I don’t do these as much as biking. Time to relax I ride my bike to relax. I enjoy riding with friends, but there are times when I like to ride by myself to unwind. I have been known to get about 15 or 20 miles from home while unwinding before realizing that I needed to get back home because it was either getting dark or a storm was rolling in. How I feel about winter I love snow in the mountains in the winter. Our kids have recently taken up skiing, and now I’m looking forward to getting up in the mountains with them next winter. What I don’t like about winter are the extremely long evenings. Because the days are so short in the winter and my job can be demanding, there are many days when I arrive to work and it’s dark, then drive home in the dark as well.

Learn about E-470 widening plan This spring, E-470 will begin the process of expanding an eight-mile stretch of the tollway between Parker Road and Quincy Avenue, widening the road from two lanes to three lanes in each direction. The approximately $80 million project will include a multiuse pedestrian and bike trail. The project is not funded with taxpayer dollars. The E-470 Public Highway Authority is hosting an informational public open house about the project from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 24 at Heritage Eagle Bend Golf Club, 23155 E. Heritage Parkway in Aurora. The work is currently planned to be accomplished in roughly four two-mile stages, starting at Parker Road and proceeding north, so not all eight miles are under construction simultaneously. All the new lanes are scheduled to open by January 2018. The road widening project was authorized by the board of directors of the E-470 Public Highway Authority. The widening is being constructed now in order to get ahead of the curve on future traffic growth, which in the eight-mile stretch has increased 13 percent in each of the past two years. A study commissioned by E-470 indicated that widening of this segment of the road was needed. The project will be financed, constructed, operated and governed by the E-470 Public Highway Authority.

months. To report a pothole in the county’s jurisdiction, submit a report by emailing a pothole location or address near a location to pwoperations@douglas.co.us. Crews will be dispatched to repair potholes that create a hazardous condition. Location of the pothole can be reported by intersection or an approximate location on a county street or road.

Help with trail maintenance Those who love spending time outdoors and have time to give two Tuesday mornings per month from March through October can volunteer for Douglas County. The county’s volunteer trail crew helps preserve such scenic locations as Dawson Butte, Spruce Mountain, Lincoln Mountain and Columbine Open Space. Whether someone is a seasoned pro at trail maintenance, a newbie or is just looking for the perfect team-building experience, the county’s volunteer trail crew has space. County staff will provide volunteers with “on the trail” training and mentoring. In addition to learning the ins and outs of corridor clearing, tread work and water diversions, this will also include learning about plants, wildlife and other things encountered on the trail. For those interested in joining the volunteer trail crew, an open house is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon March 2 at Dawson Butte Open Space at 1753 Tomah Road in Castle Rock. Those who plan to attend should RSVP at www. volunteerconnectdc.org, as space is limited. The open house will be outdoors, so dress accordingly. Anyone who wants to volunteer or has questions, contact Amy Knopp at openspacevolunteer@ douglas.co.us or 303-660-7495.

DISTRICT 2 COMMISSIONER RACE

Incumbent faces challenger for GOP nod A pair of Republicans are vying for the party nomination for Douglas County commissioner in District 2, which encompasses Castle Rock, Castle Pines and rural areas of Douglas County. Incumbent Roger Partridge, elected in 2012,

faces a challenge from local businessman Dave Gill. Republican Party caucuses will be held March 1 followed by a county assembly on March 19 to determine who will make the June primary

Partridge points to his record Roger Partridge was elected to the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in November 2012. The Republican began serving his first term as the District 2 county commissioner in January 2013. Prior to joining the board of commissioners, Partridge owned and operated a private physical therapy practice in Castle Rock for Partridge 26 years. He is a graduate of Purdue University with a bachelor’s degree in health and safety education and a double master’s degree in athletic training and physical therapy. Partridge, a Sedalia resident, served on the Douglas County Planning Commission for two terms before taking his place on the board of commissioners. Why are you running for re-election? As your present commissioner, I have lowered taxes, brought forth a conservative budget, maintained safe reserves, preserved open space, supported high standards for law enforcement, kept a focus on providing and maintaining quality roads and have assured the services provided by your county government meet or exceed the desired level. While some other communities have had to raise taxes or fees to provide basic services, the sound policies in Douglas County are one reason this hasn’t occurred. And with the recession pretty much behind us, there is actually an opportunity to see further tax cuts without the risk of changing our quality of life we so enjoy.

What makes you the best person for the job? The job of county commissioner comes with a degree of authority which requires drive, desire, honesty and a sense of responsibility to do the right thing and to always act first in the public interest. This is not a job I take lightly, but I have the will to continue devoting myself to achieve this. Also, leadership occurs from many factors of which time and experience are often crucial. With only three commissioners on the board, I will be the only one with four years of experience, knowledge and understanding in order to keep our county moving in the right direction. I firmly believe we have the best county in the country, and I would be honored to have the opportunity to serve the residents of Douglas County for another term. What is your top priority if re-elected? As many of the priorities in running a county government involve providing or assuring proper transportation; safe and secure communities; adequate natural resources and utilities; plentiful open space and recreational opportunities; and proper community services, there is nothing more important than guaranteeing a balanced budget of both expenditures and revenues that allows the residents to feel fully secure in those that govern. With Douglas County’s portion of the mill levy being the third lowest in the Front Range and with the county having zero general obligation debt, I believe that following conservative principles, having a sound financial policy, fostering a healthy economy and bringing the discussion of decreasing the mill levy is the most sensible path to follow.

ballot. The winner of the primary then moves on to the November general election. As of last week, no Democrats or third-party candidates had filed to run for the District 2 seat.

Gill cites taxes, families in run Dave Gill has lived in Douglas County since 1984. He has a background in finance and runs Gill Photography in Castle Rock. Gill is an active Republican in Douglas County, having been a district captain for more than a decade, a precinct committee Gill person for many years before that and a former chairman of the Douglas County Planning Commission. Gill has declared to run for the District 2 seat of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners against incumbent Roger Partridge. Why are you running? I believe county government is overtaxing residents. Our local per capita tax is the second-highest of the 10 Colorado large counties, surpassed only by Boulder. Between 2010 and 2014, our county officials consistently underestimated incoming tax revenues by a cumulative $37.9 million. These surplus funds and others now total around $250 million and sit in accounts most of which can be redirected at the discretion of the county commissioners for whatever they deem necessary. Further, Douglas County just had an 18 percent average increase in assessed valuations on real estate without any corresponding decrease in the mill

levy, so our taxes and this surplus will continue to climb needlessly. This is an unwarranted burden on all of our county residents and their families. I think I can do a better job in making Douglas County an even better place to live, work and raise kids. What makes you the best person for the job? We need strong, experienced professionals in government who are not shy about challenging each other and who retain the best interests of our residents above all else. I fit that bill. My business and county experience, like that gained on the planning commission, helps me to work cordially and professionally through complicated, thorny issues with others of equally strong opinions who do not share my views. That experience and determined approach along with business and audit experience sets me apart. What is your top priority if elected? My top priority is to keep Douglas County on the forefront of Colorado counties. It is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family, but we need to be more attentive and intelligent in our governance to keep Douglas County’s special character while not driving out families and those living on a fixed income. We can easily provide needed services while cutting unneeded high property taxes.

lsa and Anna weren’t the only princesses at Cherokee Ranch and Castle on Feb. 20. The great hall of the historic castle in Sedalia hosted a sold-out group of young princesses for an afternoon tea. The Princess Tea Party is held three times a year, coordinating with the change in seasons. “It’s the perfect place for a princess to come to a real castle,” said Abby Burch, marketing and event coordinator at Cherokee Ranch and Castle. “We wanted to make it fun for the little kids by doing a princess tea.”

County distributes funds to ﬁre districts Departments compensated for calls to Pike National Forest By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Five fire protection districts will have money to purchase new equipment, thanks to a $100,000 federal program distributed by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. “This is great funding and really vital for smaller districts,” said Curt Rogers, chief of the North Fork Fire Protection District, which received $24,030. Every year since 2002, Douglas County has provided supplemental funding for the five fire districts that respond to incidents in the Pike National Forest area of Douglas County. Those districts are Jackson 105, Larkspur, Mountain Communities Volunteer, North Fork and West Douglas.

The money comes from a federal program that issues payments to local governments to help offset losses in property taxes because of nontaxable federal lands within their boundaries. The money must go toward services such as firefighting and police protection, construction of public schools and roads, and searchand-rescue operations. In 2015, the districts responded 129 times into the Pike National Forest, slightly down from 132 the previous year. The county-established committee that assists in the oversight of fund distribution agreed to a cost-per-call of $775, which totaled slightly less than $100,000. West Douglas Fire Protection District responded to the most calls — 40 — in 2015. It received $31,005, which will go to updating the department’s radios to a new system and purchasing battery packs. Chief Terry Thompson said that in the past the money has been used to pur-

chase ATVs, trailers and wildland equipment, but this year, the focus is communications. “With increased incidents within the Pike National Forest and the mountainous areas west of Sedalia, the need for more 700-800 (megahertz) portables is becoming an issue,” Thompson said, adding that a new radio system requiring 700-megahertz portables will soon be implemented. “This will be our first step at starting the process to be ready for the new radio system.” Mountain Communities Volunteer Fire Protection District received $27,130 in response to its 35 calls. The money will purchase a hydraulic Jaws of Life, medical training and fire academy classes for staff, and upgrades to structure and wildland equipment. Selfcontained breathing apparatus equipment also will be replaced. North Fork Fire Protection District responded to 31 calls. It received $24,030

and will purchase a trail motorcycle and trailer and personal protective equipment for firefighters with its money. “The service area we cover has many trails over a large geographical area — most of these are not accessible by regular vehicles,” Rogers said. “The trail motorcycles provide us the ability to quick access patients with trained medical staff.” Jackson 105 Fire Protection District will use the $14,730 received to purchase new wildland equipment. Jackson 105 responded to the Pike National Forest 19 times in 2015. Larkspur Fire Protection District, which answered to four calls in 2015, also will purchase updated wildland equipment, as well as batteries for radios, with its $3,105. “It’s a very appropriate use for these funds to go to you,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella told the fire chiefs at the Feb. 16 meeting. “It’s greatly appreciated, all that you offer.”

the statute for several reasons. The letter “was sent not by the board of education of the school district, but rather some real estate broker,” and came via email instead of certified mail, regular mail or courier, according to the letter. The email also did not make it through the town’s spam filter and was not discovered until three weeks after it was sent. Town staff recommended that the planning commission request a public hearing before the Douglas County Board of Education. In an emailed response to a request for comment Feb. 19, school district spokeswoman Paula Hans said the district is in a “due diligence period,” meaning it is still exploring its options in searching for a site for the K-8 school. Elise Penington, the town’s community affairs manager, said a public hearing “will only be necessary if the school district moves forward with the purchase of the library property.” The library district owns the building; the Parker Library will

“intended to purchase the property,” according to public records. The notice letter, however, did not comply with state statute, which requires a school district to consult with planning officials before moving forward. “There is a complete failure by the Board of Education of the school district to consult with the Town of Parker Planning Commission to determine whether the acquisition of the property by the school district will conform with the adopted plans of the Town of Parker,” according to a letter from town attorney Jim Maloney to Rob Ross, legal counsel for the Douglas County School District. It’s not clear whether Jones Lang LaSalle sent the letter at the request of the school district. A review of the statute showed the district did not comply with

move into a new building on the east end of downtown this fall. The existing library is within the zoned Greater Downtown District/ Town Center, which permits a range of commercial and assembly uses. The standards and guidelines for development within the town center zone allow public and private educational facilities with less than 15,000 square feet in gross floor area. The proposed school is expected to have a maximum enrollment of about 120 students. According to the district, two pathways exist for creating the new school. One is renovating an existing school site in the district. The other is purchasing a space that would accommodate its needs. The district doesn’t have enough money to build from scratch and has yet to identify a potential location to purchase, said Jason Germain, the district’s chief student advocacy officer. Waiting for funding to pass in the form of a bond may be one option to pay for the school, he said.

High School students make wishes come true Douglas County schools raise money for terminally ill children during Wish Weeks By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Shelby Martyniak of Parker was in sixth grade, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. As an eighth-grader at Sierra Middle School in 2014, she became Chaparral High School’s first Wish Week recipient. Each year, high school communities in Douglas County partner with Makea-Wish Colorado for weeklong events to raise the money needed to make a terminally ill child’s wish come true. Martyniak’s wish was to meet pop singer Katy Perry. That wish came true at a concert in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, thanks to the help of the Chaparral community. “It was nerve-wracking because you’re this little, tiny, eighth-grader staring at a giant pop star — world famous,” Martyniak said. “We talked and she asked me what I had and how old I was. I told her. She was like ‘all right,’ and then didn’t ask me anymore about it. She asked me about my day and things like that.” Now, Martyniak is a sophomore student government member at Chaparral helping to make another child’s wish

Chaparral High School students Shelby Martyniak, Molly Corlett, Tessa Bouley and Oliva Leishman put together Wish Week events at their school. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando come true. Wish Week at Chaparral will be March 3-11 this year. “When I was a wish kid, they told me there were late nights. I was like, ‘OK, yeah, maybe until 5 p.m.,’ but last year we were here until 11 p.m. We were having

fun and bonding. It’s nights like those that make it feel like the Chap family,” Martyniak said. “You’re here. You’re working together and you’re making wishes come true. It’s an amazing feeling.” Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch was the first school to start the tradition six years ago. Since then, they have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Make-A-Wish Colorado and been an example for other schools. “The entire student body gets involved. Even if it’s not donating money, just being present and attending the events makes Wish Week what it is,” said Rock Canyon senior Maggie Gilbert. Gilbert said she and fellow senior Casey Sabados have been working on this year’s plans since November. Rock Canyon’s Wish Week for 2016 runs from Feb. 19-26. This year, Rock Canyon will be raising money for a girl named Lucy who has Hodgkin lymphoma. Her wish is to go to Discovery Cove in

Florida to meet dolphins. Rock Canyon has served as an inspiration for other schools in the area. “(Our Wish Week) wasn’t as successful as we wanted it to be. We had seen Rock Canyon’s Wish Week, and they has raised so much money,” said Douglas County High School senior Ryan Simpson. So this year, Simpson and fellow senior Kyleigh Kappas led an effort to make Wish Week special at Douglas County High in Castle Rock. “As seniors, we wanted to go big. We wanted this year to be the year,” Kappas said. The Huskies ended up raising more than $40,000 between Jan. 22 and Feb. 1. Double their original goal and enough to grant four or five wishes, they said. This year, Douglas County High sponsored a local boy from Castle Rock named Jacob with astrocytoma, a form of brain cancer. Jacob loves dinosaurs and wanted to take his family to Hawaii to see where they filmed the movie “Jurassic Park.” In addition to raising money through events and selling T-shirts like most of the other schools that participate in Wish Week, Douglas County High also reached out to local feeder schools this year. DCHS students visited Mesa Middle School, Renaissance Elementary, Rock Ridge Elementary and Sage Canyon Elementary. “We went to their schools, told them a little about Wish Week, and they had competitions to raise money within their schools,” Simpson said. “We got a lot of money from feeder schools, $6,000 from Mesa and $1,000 from the elementary schools.” Students across the county give up time, sleep and money to help their wish kids. The hard work pays off when they see the difference they can make. “You can see how it affects the family,” said Chaparral senior Olivia Leishman. “They come and go to all of the events, and when they see that it is all happening for their child, it’s incredible. It’s all about them and they can forget about the bad things that are happening in their life.”

Award Continued from Page 1

Award this year included a teacher and a former restaurateur known for years of service to the community. The following provides a glimpse at the nominees in 2016. Nancy Gripman Bill Gripman, Nancy’s husband of 65 years, accepted the posthumous award on her behalf. Bill Gripman choked up when he noted that Nancy died shortly before her birthday, their anniversary, and the bestowing of the Parker Impact Award. “She would be so appreciative of this award, but she’d be up here saying, ‘Well, look at all you folks who helped me,’” he said. “That’s the way she is. Everything she did, she got a ton of people working with her.” Gripman, a resident of Parker for more than 30 years, passed away on Dec. 1, at the age of 86, but her memory is forever etched in the minds of hundreds of Parker residents. Nancy and her husband, Bill, came to Parker in 1981 and settled on a 10-acre spread where they kept some livestock and which included a barn. It was from that barn that she and some women from various churches distributed food that they collected for the needy back in 1987.

Careers

That effort marked the birth of The Parker Task Force, which over the next 29 years became a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, and Gripman was its first president. The Parker Task Force was and still is staffed with an all-volunteer workforce, which provided 6,100 people with food, 450 families with rent, utilities, medical care, and hotel stays, 2,800 backpacks of food through our schools, and hotel nights for 153 homeless families — all in one year. The task force moved from the Gripmans’ barn to the old community center/Quonset Hut on Mainstreet, then to the Parker Town Hall, then the Mainstreet Center, then back to town hall, and finally last year into its new, 8,500 square-foot facility. There are now 120 trained volunteers providing service at the task force. Gripman also volunteered in many other areas both locally and internationally as well, including developing the community garden near the Parker Senior Center. “Gripman had much love, energy and compassion packed into a small body, but she made a huge impact on Parker,” the Rotary Club of Parker says. Kim Moore Moore is an educator who has spent 40 years teaching at the college, high school and middle school levels. She retired from Ponderosa High School after a 20-year distinguished career in theater. Moore still does some substitute teaching for Douglas County. On top of her teaching duties, Moore has devoted

thousands of hours as a volunteer director of musicals in the Parker Community. She founded Parker Theatre Productions and directed and produced Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma, and Guys and Dolls at the PACE Center with casts and crews of 100 or more volunteers. She also directed Into the Woods at Mainstreet Center, and through proceeds from that event, $20,000 was donated to the Parker Task Force where she now works as an interviewer. Moore also produced and directed numerous additional productions at Moore Parker United Methodist Church and the Mainstreet Center. A partial list includes the following which you may have had the pleasure of enjoying because of her efforts: Godspell, Music Man, Winnie the Pooh, Little Mermaid, The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, and Oliver. Most important, she has “earned tremendous respect and affection from those involved in her productions,” the Rotary Club of Parker says. “Her efforts have improved the culture and quality of life in the Parker community immeasurably.” Stevan Strain The Warhorse Inn restaurant in downtown Parker was an institution and served residents good food and good cheer for 30 years. The owner was Stevan Strain. As many in the Parker area well know, the Warhorse was a favorite meeting place of many residents, business leaders and organizations for three decades. The Warhorse Inn was the site of anniversary dinners, Mother’s Day brunches, business transactions, retirement parties, and political campaign kickoffs. Town council member Debbie Lewis says that it was part of the fabric of the community. In addition to his prominent role Strain as owner of the Warhorse, Strain has served on numerous boards, including the Douglas County Libraries and the Science and Cultural Facilities District. He has also served on the Douglas County Planning Commission and the County Open Space Advisory Board. Strain is a former president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce and the Parker Economic Development Council and he ran for Douglas County Commissioner several years ago. “He has indeed been a true public servant,” the Rotary Club said in a statement.

Center Continued from Page 1

Finance Authority to help fund the project, Pickert said. The senior center, an existing activities hub for seniors with no housing component, would still be self-managed and operate independently, Pickert said. Proponents for the project are hoping for a grand opening in spring 2018. Representatives of the proposal will be available to answer questions at the meeting March 15. They are trying to determine the level of interest in the idea. Residents can meet with the developer to discuss more details of the project, according to a letter intended to attract interest among senior center members. Diane Leavesley, executive director of the Douglas County Housing Partnership, said she does not know enough about the proposal to comment on it, but said she is planning on attending the meeting to learn more. Demand is outpacing available housing for seniors, she said. “Rents have escalated so much that many of them are being priced out of the apartments that they’re currently in,” Leavesley said about seniors in Douglas County. Community Capital Corporation is “experienced,” Leavesley said, and has developed affordable senior housing in Colorado, but not in Douglas County. Aside from the second phase of an affordable senior living facility in Castle Rock, the Parker Senior Center proposal is the only one active in Douglas County right now. An affordable apartment project that opened in Castle Rock in December 2014 “filled up immediately” and now has a massive waiting list, Leavesley said. The senior center currently sits on a 1.5-acre lot next to a Regional Transportation District park-n-Ride lot. Pickert acknowledged that there are many unanswered questions about the project, which is in the early stages, and she is trying to garner support among senior center directors and members. Questions about the project should be referred to: Adam Morgan, Daniel G.

VOICES

LOCAL

Look for the good, then share it Imagine for a moment that someone very close to you, maybe a family member or friend, called you and during your conversation they said something like, “Do you know my favorite thing about you is that you are always smiling, always optimistic, and you just make my day every time we talk or meet.” Now it can be anything, right? Someone’s favorite thing about you could be your listening skills, your patience, your kindness, your confidence, your ability to stay calm, your quiet strength, or any number of other things. How would you feel? I’ll bet most of us would feel pretty darn good, and whatever trait or characteristic they pointed out would probably become a focal point for us for the rest of the day or maybe even the week. And if something we do consistently day in and day out is recognized by someone else or perhaps many others, it just means that our transparency around that trait or characteristic is just a part of who we are and is in alignment with our core values. It’s real. Have you ever received such a compliment? Better yet, have you ever given such a compliment? You know the old saying, “It is better to give than to receive.” Well it’s not just about giving of money or material gifts, it is also about how we give and receive sincere compliments. Sincere compliments are not to be mistaken for manipulative flattery;

sincere compliments come from the heart with no expectation of receiving anything in return. The other day I had an opportunity to ski with a friend and colleague who was in from New York. We skied with his wife and their friend Doug and Michael Norton his son James who are locals. We had an inWINNING credible “blue sky” day, WORDS and one of my favorite parts of the day was the way that Doug couldn’t seem to stop smiling. He had a big wide smile on his face all day, while we skied, while we ate, and while we talked. So as we were traversing back to our starting point at the end of the day and cruising along a catwalk, I said to Doug, “My favorite thing about skiing with you today was your smile.” His happiness and joy were contagious as we all had just an incredible ski day. Too often we get caught up with the things we hate, or things about people we dislike. Or we get focused and caught up in what other people are doing that really get under our skin. And when those traits become the focal point of our attention, we simply miss

the opportunity to see the amazing gifts and talents that others have and that they could bring to our relationships if we would only look for our favorite things about them instead of only those things that irk us. I encourage you to try it, make an effort to create a positive habit by looking for the good and pointing out your favorite things about your friends and family members to them. And as you share the good things you are seeing in each one of them, watch as they own those traits and repeat those behaviors, actions, and attitudes. And don’t be shocked when they turn around at a later time and let you know what their very favorite thing is about you through a sincere compliment and sincere appreciation. Who knows, maybe your favorite thing is that this column is almost over. But maybe, just maybe, there is something in here that resonates with you as you are someone who already does this. Or maybe it makes sense and it has provided you with something to think about and practice. Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we find and share our favorite things about situations and people, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

abrooks@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Production/Marketing Manager SCOTT ANDREWS

Thomas has what it takes I am writing this letter to recommend one special candidate, Lora Thomas, for Douglas County commissioner. As a previously unaffiliated non-voter, for the past 40-plus years I have eschewed the political process entirely, often disappointed with the quality of a wide variety of candidates. And then came Lora Thomas. I was invited to a coroner’s meeting at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, and was very impressed by the quality and organization of her presentations as well as her extraordinary work on behalf of Douglas County citizens. She saved Douglas County citizens over $1.5 million while in the coroner’s office, and also established a nonprofit organization to counteract Colorado’s unusually high suicide rates. I’ve been reading Stephen Covey’s recent book, “Primary Greatness: The 12 Levers of Success.” Lora exemplifies several of the levers: integrity, contributions, sacrifice, service, responsibility and many others. I am convinced that she is rapidly ascending the “Primary Greatness” ladder. How would I know? The research is clear on this subject: The best predictor of future success is past performance. Lora’s past performance has been outstanding. I’ve registered as a Republican and I’m signing her petition to get the name Lora Thomas on the Republican primary ballot for county commissioner. And I am proudly voting for Lora Thomas on June 28! Dr. R.L. Hughes Parker

QUIET DESPERATION

What a relief. Today’s headline was not about the Broncos. The front page story was about as far from the National Football League as it gets. And I didn’t understand a word of it. Unfortunately it’s probably too late. I think it was too late when I was in high school. I came to the fork in the road, and I took it. Art and science can meet from time to time, but it’s rare. I have accepted my ignorance in science and in mathematics. I try to shield myself from expos-

ing it by excusing myself and asking, “Uh, where’s the men’s room?” If someone starts a conversation about Einstein or Tesla, I bail. Today’s article was about Einstein. “Scientists’ discovery proves Einstein’s theory 100 years later.” I could have “excused” myself, simply by turning the page, or feeding the dog. But I decided to soldier on, knowing I was lost to begin with. “It was just a tiny, almost imperceptible ‘chirp,’ but it simultaneously opened humanity’s ears to the music of the cosmos and proved Albert Einstein right again.” I think the Associated Press writer

was trying to provide the reader with a poetic introduction before getting to the gist. The gist was inaccessible to a sod like me. But I tried. “Scientists announced that they have finally detected gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space and time that Einstein predicted.” The article said, “The news exhilarated astronomers and physicists.” I wonder how many astronomers and physicists were among the million-plus who celebrated the local Smith continues on Page 11

Cutting through the murk of college loans When most parents are asked what they would like to be able to provide for their children, a great education is at the top of the list. A college education is seen as the golden ticket to making sure our children have a fair shot at earning Morgan Carroll a good-paying job, GUEST finding affordable housing, and saving COLUMN enough for retirement. Unfortunately, too many students are graduating from college saddled with debt, often due to

varying interest rates or fees from their private lender that jacked up the cost of their education. Taking out a private loan has become just another financial obstacle later on in life; another bill families have to pick between when deciding what bills they can afford that month, with seemingly no end in sight. In fact, Americans currently hold over $1 trillion in student loan debt, ultimately holding back their earnings and a chance at success. I’m one of those Americans still paying off my student loan debt. I worked my way through college with multiple jobs, studied hard for my classes, and played by the rules that said if you work hard and earn a degree, you can achieve your own American Dream. I’ve been fortunate in my career, which makes my obligation to give those in the middle

class who saw the private lending system work against them, the same opportunities I had after I graduated. That’s why I’m introducing the Know Before You Owe Act, Senate Bill 16-043, in the Colorado Senate, which would make sure students have the information they need to make the very best decisions on how to pay for their education. My legislation will crack down on private, for-profit lenders and require them to disclose the true cost of student loans to consumers before borrowing, as well as provide them information on lower-cost federal loans they can take advantage of before moving to a private lender. Private lenders offer loans with higher interest rates that are harder to pay off than federal loans, and are chock full of various fees that add significant costs onto

an already expensive education in Colorado. My legislation will ensure students know as much as possible about their rights and eligibility from a private lender before taking one out to pay for college. At a time when too many Coloradans feel like the system has been rigged against their success, this idea will help remove the smoke and mirrors from the student loan process, and give power back to Coloradans to make the very best financial choices when going after that golden ticket of a higher education.

later. Those were the days when I applied for everything, which I don’t do now. I think I applied partly because I had seen NCAR in Woody Allen’s “Sleeper.” It was all very oblique to an art gallery or an art museum. I took a shirt pocket protector with me, just in case I started to get the odd glance. Everyone was very welcoming, but I knew in my heart that they could see right through me. They had the home field advantage. The article continued: “Some physicists said the finding is as big a deal as the 2012 discovery of the sub-atomic Higgs boson, known as the ‘God particle.’ Some said this is bigger.” If I knew what that meant, what would I do with the knowledge? I would have to keep it to myself. Or turn it into a somewhat dull and academic column perhaps. On the other hand, if I knew what it meant, it would further swell my ego. I co-exist with some brilliant men and women, who are out of this world. Rather, they are out of my world. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Trail running has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation, according to John LaCroix, president and CEO of Human Potential Running Series. Ambassadors of the sport include, from left, Laurie Nakauchi, of Lakewood, a longtime trail runner and multiple 100-mile trail racer, and Arvada’s Jennifer Forker, past president of the Colorado Masters Running/Racewalking Association. Nakauchi and Forker were joined Feb. 11 on the Morrison Slide Trail at Red Rocks Park by north metro editor and reporter Jeremy Johnson, and Lakewood resident and longtime runner Greg Wobbema.

Trail runners defy convention Whatever the road to redemption looks like, one thing’s for certain: It is not paved

RUN ALONG WITH US: A LOOK AT SOME REGIONAL RUNNING CLUBS

By Jeremy Johnson jjohnson@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s late afternoon along the Morrison Slide Trail at the north end of Red Rocks Park and the sun is starting to disappear behind the foothills to the west. A beautiful February day by most standards, it’s perhaps a little bleaker than normal for the Front Range, with the setting sun slightly obscured by monochromatic clouds to create a steely backdrop not quite as memorable as some of the more impressive, Bronco-esque blueand-orange twilights Coloradans have come to enjoy so regularly. To top it off, the trails are a little sloppy, a combination of mud, snow and — in some of the shadiest places along the trail — ice. Conditions are fair; they could be better. Not that it really matters. Snow, sleet, rain or ice, there’s just no such thing as a bad day for a trail runner. Except, maybe, those days when they don’t get to run. Running for a reason That’s not to say trail runners don’t have good days at home or the office, too. But Eastlake’s John LaCroix, president and CEO of Human Potential Running Series and a seasoned ultra runner — the name given to trail runners who compete in long-distance races that go beyond mere marathons — suspects most trail runners run because they have to. “First, I think people just like long days in the mountains,” LaCroix said. “And you don’t even have to be in the mountains, just on the trail, because it’s hard to be in a bad mood on the trail. It’s hard to be angry there, and so I think it’s about the peace of it all.” That meditation in motion, that inner peace, is a common theme in a sport where pure focus and concentration is vital. Go too deep in your own thoughts and you could find yourself at the bottom of a ravine or face flat in some rocky

Colorado Masters Running/Racewalking Association The CMRA is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization promoting running, racewalking and overall fitness by regularly sponsoring distance running-related activities including races, fun runs, training sessions and social events. Membership and activities are open to people of all ages, abilities and levels of fitness, with awards oriented toward athletes age 35 and older.

Laurie Nakauchi, with a host of 100-mile races as part of her running repertoire, is also author of the blog “Guts, Gams and Grit,” espousing the values of trail and ultra running. Here, Nakauchi mounts the early, steep climb of the Morrison Slide Trail Feb. 11 at Red Rocks Park. juts. But done just right, trail running can “clear the mind and tire (the) body,” said Shaun Schafer, a Thornton resident and associate chair of the Department of Journalism at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “I find that being exhausted at the end of the day is liberating and relaxing,” he added. “Running takes me there.” Similarly, Ben Bergstrand, of Denver, a teacher for Aurora Public Schools, enjoys that famous “runner’s high” and the relief that comes with it. “Mentally, running provides stress relief, a break from the day or the week,” he said, adding that he also finds himself planning lessons or finding solutions to personal and professional problems when running. Physical health matters, too. Successful amateur bowler Greg Wobbema chose trail running as a preventive measure against the middle-age physique embodied by so many of his colleagues at the lanes. “I started running one morning when I

woke up and decided I didn’t want to ever have any weight or flexibility issues,” said the gangly and quick-footed Lakewood resident. “Most of my bowling friends were starting to get out of shape and heavy, and I wasn’t going to be like that.” What’s more, Wobbema said trail running improves leg strength, balance and flexibility, helping him stay competitive on the ball-and-pin circuit. As for LaCroix, he believes, for many, running is an answer to an endless, nagging question, a solution to something, to everything. To him, it’s the best available cure for his severe depression. “But maybe it’s an alcohol addiction or a drug addiction — whatever it is, (trail runners) are trying to replace bad habits with better habits,” he said. “What I’ve learned is that just about everybody in this sport is dealing with something. And if it makes us kind of sound like a bunch of whack jobs, well, I guess we are.” Trail continues on Page 13

trail runners do what they do. Ultimately, it’s most likely a combination of things, much like the same trail over and over and over again can provide a completely new experience every time. Throw in some inclement weather, and trail running can create absolute singular experiences likely never to be duplicated. “Trails are reflective of life,” Schafer said. “Even when you think you know what you are doing, there will be a surprise.”

Reflective of life LaCroix said he believed rock climbing was not so long ago among the fastest-growing sports in the nation and the state, “but I’m pretty certain trail running has taken that over.” “It’s a completely different culture, where `competition’ takes a back seat to simply being communal,” added the New Hampshire native, who started his Human Potential Race Series for that very reason — to bring the community aspect back to trail running, so that everybody is “challenging yourself and accomplishing great things together.” And accomplishing great things

doesn’t require a grand investment. In fact, Nakauchi attributes the popularity of the sport to its everyman (and woman) quality. “Anyone can do it because it doesn’t take a lot of coordination or special equipment,” Nakauchi said. “You don’t need a lot of money and you can do it anywhere, anytime. It can be a solitary sport great for clearing your mind and relaxing, or a very social sport.” In the end, there’s no real way to establish one, definitive reason for why

them” aspect to trail running, even compared to their road-running cousins. “I started as a road runner and almost quit running,” LaCroix said. “A huge mass of people running for up to four hours at a time without so much as a `Hello’ or a friendly conversation — what a bore, and a shame. “But trail running,” he added, “Man, I felt like I had found my lost brothers and sisters.” For Schafer, the magic of the trails trumps the sterility of the road, creating special bonds between people and with Mother Nature herself. “I think we all appreciate other runners that much more because we know we are all competing against ourselves, against each other and against Mother Nature,” he said. “There are more challenges to trail running, especially on single-track trails, and the camaraderie in a group of runners only increases when trails are involved.”

A state of mind Call a trail runner a “whack job” and the response will likely be a positive one. A large part of what drives an ultra runner might be the sheer audacity of it all, the idea of doing something that many people find cruel, pointless, masochistic or even downright derelict. After all, who really enjoys running until ragged, over rugged, jagged terrain that’s waiting to tear at elbows and knees and leave the challenger weak and dizzy from peak to valley and back again? People like Laurie Nakauchi, that’s who. An ultra-running trail veteran with a host of 100-mile races as part of her expansive running repertoire, Nakauchi thinks of trail running as less a hobby and more a way of life. “It’s a part of who I am,” she said. The stylish Nakauchi embraces much about trail running that appeals most to outsiders, like fearless fashion sense, fierce determination and the ability to grin and bear it when most people would break down and sob. “I’m biased, but I’d say trail runners are more laid back,” she said. “I’d also say trail runners are heartier, sexier, tougher and overall more fun. “Of course, the longer you run, the more this is true,” Nakauchi added, “which makes ultra runners the toughest, sexiest runners on the planet.” In that way, there’s a certain “us and

Lalitha Chittoor grew up in a very traditional family in India and wanted a book to teach her 4-year-old daughter about Indian festivals. When she was unable to locate one, she decided to write a series and has just published the second one on e-book, available from Amazon.

Fill your days with new friends and experiences. There’s an energy that comes with living in a community, from making new friends to enjoying fresh experiences. • Engaging social events and activities • Guest speakers and lectures

She lives with her husband and two children in Arvada. Maha Shivaratri will be celebrated in India, across the U.S. and all over the world on March 7, she said, including at two Hindu temples in Centennial and another in Castle Rock. She explains the holiday: “Lord Shiva is the Hindu god of destruction. Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu are the creator and protector gods, respectively. On this day, devotees commemorate the marriage of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the mother goddess. Hindus spend the day fasting and offering prayers in a night-long vigil. Maha means great/important, and Shiva means auspicious one, and Ratri means night.” The book also references Carl Sagan, the world-renowned astronomer from Cornell University, various dance forms of India and ancient Shiva temples located internationally. The festival will be celebrated in three south area Hindu Temples: • Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of the Rockies, 7201 S. Potomac St., Centennial • Shri Shirdi SaiBaba Temple of Rockies, 10250 E. Easter Ave., Centennial • S V Temple of Colorado, 1495 Ridge Road, Castle Rock She has also written the first book in a proposed series: “Makar Sankranti/Pongal,” about another widely celebrated festival. The pictures bring out the diversity in India, the author said. Both are available as e-books from Amazon.

What makes us so vulnerable to them, and what makes them spread? Lecture will focus on the biology of known human viruses and how they have evolved to escape our own defenses, and will conclude with a discussion of how vaccines trigger an immune response that will recognize the virus as a threat and neutralize it before it can cause disease.

A challenging hockey option Cherry Creek’s Joseph Whitmore skates down the ice during the Bruins’ 9-2 win over Palmer on Jan. 2. Instead of playing high school hockey, many of today’s players choose the club route. Photo by Jim Benton

GLOSSARY OF TERMS Junior Hockey For players between the ages of 16 and 21. In Canada the highest level is Major Junior and in the United States top level is Tier I. Major Junior: Overseen by the Canadian Hockey League, which places a cap of three 20-year-old players per team. Once a player participates in one game he is no longer eligible to play NCAA hockey. Players receive stipends; some CHL players have already signed contracts with National Hockey League teams so the NCAA considers the CHL a pro league. Junior A is one level below Major Junior in Canada. There are also Junior B, C and D depending on the skill level of a player. Tier I: The United States Hockey League is the only Tier I league in the U.S. and gives players the chance to play at an NCAA school before the NHL. All equipment is provided by the teams including billet housing. However, pro drafting is less for Tier I players than those in Major Junior.

Many elite players seek club attention in order to advance By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ewer than 400 boys played high school hockey in Colorado during the 2002-03 season. More than 600 did during the 2014-15 campaign. But although high school hockey is enjoying a rise in popularity in the state, a major challenge remains: Many elite players are missing from the ice when schools face off. Colorado’s best high school-age players often opt to play on Tier I club hockey teams instead of for their schools in order to draw attention so they can advance to Major Junior and college hockey. “It’s great to play for your local school and all that, but only a few areas have big-time high school hockey where people choose that over Tier I, like Minnesota,” said former University of Denver player Angelo Ricci, who is director of hockey operations and an Under-16 national coach for the Colorado Thunderbirds club team based in Littleton. “In order to play junior hockey, you have to gain exposure, and you usually gain exposure, at least now, by playing Tier I. I don’t see too many scouts at high school games in Colorado.” Baker Shore, a 16-year-old student at Kent Denver, and Colby Bukes, a 17-yearold who attends Arapahoe High, play on Ricci’s Tier I team. Neither considered playing high school hockey. “Tier I is just more competitive,” said Bukes. “It’s a little more skilled and talented than high school hockey. I feel like in Colorado, college and the next-level scouts like Tier I or club level hockey.” Tier I travel and commitments do not allow time to also play high school hockey, Ricci said. Tier I play could cost families between $14,000 and $20,000, depending on travel, so players need to be dedicated. Both Shore, who has three older brothers who have played at the University of

Tier II: The only Tier II circuit in the U.S. is the North American Hockey League. This league provides another option to Major Junior, but the skill level of the players is less than Tier I or Major Junior. Tier III: Many Tier III players who compete in seven USA hockey leagues are seeking to improve their skill levels to advance to Tier II or Tier I or possibly go to Division III colleges.

Impressive state debut for Ponderosa’s Schultz Cranmer ends Chaparral career with championship By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Cohl Schultz made an impressive debut while Dawson Cranmer went out in style Feb. 20 at the Pepsi Center. Schultz, a freshman at Ponderosa, won the 220-pound championship at the Colorado state high school wrestling championships with his fourth pin of the tournament with a fall in 1:59 over Max Gonzales of Cherokee Trail. Cranmer, a senior at Chaparral, used a firstperiod takedown and notched a 3-1 decision over Cameron Gonzalez of Pomona to capture the 170-pound state title. It was the fifth individual state title won by a Chaparral wrestler and the first for Cranmer. “It was my last try,” he said. “My hard work paid off, it’s one of the coolest feelings in the world. I feel I’ve come a long way. Coming in as a freshman I don’t think I was expected to do what I just did, so it’s kind of nice to prove people wrong.” Cranmer, who beat Gonzalez Feb. 13 to win a regional championship, took charge early in the match. “After that first takedown I started establishing my offense,” he said. “I felt like I got into a rhythm. That helped a lot. I wrestled him in the regional finals and beat him in overtime. I felt I didn’t wrestle a good match that time. So I was focused on executing my technique and was able to do that.” Schultz, whose older brother Trenton won the 195-pound state title for Mountain Vista, was dominant from start to finish. He had pins in :25, 1:29 and 1:20 heading into the final, and his pin against Gonzales just beat the referee’s whistle to

end the first period. “He turned around a little bit and I was able to catch him,” said Schultz who won the 39th individual state championship for Ponderosa and finished the season with a 47-1 record. “I heard the ref counting down, and I was looking at the clock. “It was pretty good tournament. I’ve worked hard since I was 3 years old. I knew I could win it. I just took it one match at a time. It feels pretty good.” Pomona won the team championship with 139.5 points, and Ponderosa came in third with 95.5 points. Chaparral was ninth with 54.5 points. Ponderosa almost had another champion, but Jordan Martinez of Pine Creek recorded a takedown with 10 seconds left in the third period to earn a 3-1 win and the 120-pound championship over the Mustangs’ Hunter Matney. Matney appeared to get a quick takedown in the final seconds, but the referees ruled the match was over. “We thought it was a takedown, but you can’t leave it up to the referees,” said Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis. Ponderosa had three wrestlers finish fourth. They were 106-pound freshman Mosha Schwartz, sophomore Parker Benekas at 126 pounds, and 145-pound sophomore Jayden Woodruff. “I was pleased with how the boys competed,” said McNellis. “Many of them improved drastically over three months. We will return all of our state placers while adding additional talent, so we will be back next year to take Pomona out.” Chaparral had two other podium winners in addition to Cranmer.

obviously you are traveling around to play the top teams in the country and play in front of premier, college or whatever scouts,” said Derek Robinson director of hockey operations for the Rocky Mountain Roughriders, based in Westminster. “It’s really the development and exposure piece that is really the difference,” added Robinson, who is a former high school coach at Colorado Academy and Mullen. “High School hockey is a great alternative for those players who want to enjoy the game and compete for their high school in front of their friends.” Exploring options Some players double up and play at the Tier II club level and high school hockey despite seasons that coincide. Mountain Vista senior Tanner Gillis is one of those athletes. “It’s not too bad because my Vista

coach talks with my club coach and kind of work out all the conflicts, but I know for other guys, it is kind of a struggle,” said Gillis, who plays for a club team based in the Littleton Hockey Association. “It feels good to be a part of your school and play for your school. Usually the practices are spread out, but obviously it is tough on the body. I prefer club hockey because it is a little more competitive and highly intense.” Eric Wilson is a senior captain of the Standley Lake team. He has played club hockey but is strictly a high school player this season. “I figured it would be a good experience and fun to play my last year of high school,” Wilson said. “I feel the level of play has increased over the past few years... it’s a good league to play in. It is fun to play high school because it’s a little bit bigger stage compared to just club.” Another option exists for players who want more ice action but don’t want to choose between club and high school or don’t want to play both. The Colorado Prep Hockey League, backed by USA Hockey, has 20 teams and plays a fall schedule that doesn’t overlap with

CHSAA’s winter season. The CPHL is attracting players who used to play Tier II hockey. Heritage High School coach and CPHL president Jeremy Sims said the game is trending toward more players choosing the option of playing in the fall league and then for their high school teams. All but the very best players will go that route, he believes. “You’ll have your Tier 1 top-level kids and high school for everybody else,” he said.

played high school hockey in Colorado. Today, there are 30 CHSAA-sanctioned varsity squads. Most of those are coop teams that draw players from other schools within the district. The momentum is building, and Castle View joined the CHSAA ranks this season. Next year three more teams will be added, though none are from the Denver metro area. Some teams sponsored by high schools even have junior varsity teams. With this growth, some say Colorado is on its way to establishing itself as a high school hockey hotbed. “That will happen without a doubt,” said George Gwozdecky, Valor Christian’s coach and former coach of the powerful University of Denver hockey team from 1994-2013. “Whether you are a kid in Minnesota, Massachusetts or Colorado, even if you’re a top-notch player, the next step after high school is to play a year of junior hockey. But without a doubt, high school hockey in this state is going to continue to grow, continue to develop its depth and develop great young players.”

What’s next? Bert Borgmann, Colorado High School Activities Association assistant commissioner, said for many players, there is an appeal to the high school game that club teams can’t match. “A lot of the draw for high school hockey is people are coming out to watch and kids are representing a school and not just a club,” he said. “That’s a drawing card for kids because they like to play in front of their friends and peers. I feel like we’re going to see one, two or three teams added each of the next three or four years.” In the early 1990s, only 14 teams

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 22, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Time is on your side in the early part of the week. But anything left undone by midweek will need to be put into rush mode. The weekend offers choices for you and someone special. TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Finally getting credit for a contribution is nice for all you ideagenerating Ferdinands and Fernandas. But don’t sit on your laurels under the cork tree. Use it as a first step to a bigger opportunity. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Despite the progress made, a hint of doubt might set in. That’s OK. You need to stop and consider not only what you’re doing but also how you are doing. Make adjustments where needed. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The dreamer is dominant in the Moon Child’s aspect, but a dollop of hardheaded practicality is coming up fast and jockeying for space. The challenge is to make room for both modes. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week for Leos and Leonas to start assessing what they’ve done and what they plan to do. Moving to a new environment -- home or job-related -is a possibility for some Cats. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week calls for Virgos to make tough decisions, but in a way that leaves the door open for changes. Ask for advice from someone who has been in the position you’re in now.

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

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Disappointments are never easy to take, but you have the ability to learn from them and go on to success. Meanwhile, continue to build up your contacts. You’ll need them soon. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Things might still be going much too slowly to suit you. But you need the time to make sure they’re going in the right direction. It’s easier to make a course correction now rather than later. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Showing some temperament at the way things are going is one way of getting your point across. Just don’t overdo it, or you risk turning away more-moderate supporters.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Things could change more quickly this week than you like. But don’t fret; you’ll most likely find that you’re up to the challenges. The weekend offers much-needed relaxation. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Big challenge coming up? Uncross those fingers and believe that you’re going to do well. And keep in mind that so many people have faith in your ability to succeed. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Testing the waters is a good way of learning about an opportunity before plunging right in. Ask more questions and be alert to any attempts to avoid giving complete answers. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making people -- and animals, too -- feel special and loved.

Brothers win state wrestling titles Cohl Schultz and his older brother Trenton won state wrestling championships Feb. 20 at the Pepsi Center in Denver — but not for the same school. Cohl is the freshman 220-pound state champion at Ponderosa, while Trenton, a 195-pound junior, wrestles for Mountain Vista. When their parents divorced, Trenton transferred from Regis Jesuit, where his father, Rick, was a former Jim Benton wrestling coach. His mother, Jessica, custody at the time but both boys OVERTIME had now live with their dad and stepmother Christy. “Regis wasn’t a very good fit,” Trenton said. “Mountain Vista didn’t have the history, but they were a young team with a young head coach (Adam Bittler) and an experienced assistant (Brian Velarde). It added up right with the best chemistry I could find. “I still see my brother every night, we hang out and do homework together and watch TV. We just don’t work out together and (we) go to different schools. It was great to see my dad that happy after I won and see my mom that happy.” Trenton was Mountain Vista’s first state champion. Cohl’s individual title was the 39th won by a Ponderosa wrestler, and the Mustangs’ tradition was a drawing card. “Youth stuff way back when, and I grew up with Ponderosa,” said Cohl. “I always looked up to everything they did as a team, all the state titles. My brother and I live in the same house and we’re best friends.” State ski championships in Aspen Natalie Platil is a junior at Horizon and skis for the Evergreen team that will be competing in the state high school championships Feb. 25 and 26 at Aspen. Platil is one of the few metro-area athletes to compete in skiing, which is dominated by mountain schools. She competes in all four alpine and nordic disciplines. She drives to Boulder after school between Monday and Thursday, then takes the van to Evergreen practices at Eldora. Ski meets are usually on Friday and Saturday. Platil’s sights are set on winning the female Skimeister award in which skiers compete in each of the four disciplines during the regular season. Fiddler on the boards Highlands Ranch’s Jack Fiddler might be one of the state’s undiscovered gems. “If I had 20 Jacks in my basketball program, life would be a lot easier,” said Falcons coach Mike Gibbs. “I’ll tell you, his motor is nonstop. “Jack is a good player and more importantly an amazing young man with a strong work ethic on and off the court. I will do all I can do humanly possible to help Jack to continue playing basketball beyond high school. If someone picks him up, they will find a diamond in the rough.” Fiddler, a 6-foot-4 senior, led the Continental League in rebounding during the regular season and was third among Class 5A players with 11.1 a game. He scored 11.4 points per game. Munro to coach lacrosse at Mountain Vista Jamie Munro, the CEO and founder of 3d lacrosse, will be the Mountain Vista boys lacrosse coach this spring. Munro takes over for Jake Herman, who died Jan. 18. Munro was head coach at Vista in 2013 and was an assistant for Herman the past two seasons. He has also been an assistant at Colorado College and Yale, and was the University of Denver’s head coach from 1999-2009. The Big House awaits McCaffrey Valor Christian junior quarterback Dylan McCaffrey, the 2015 Colorado Community Media Offensive Player of the Year, has verbally committed to play football for the University of Michigan as part of coach Jim Harbaugh’s 2017 recruiting class, according to the Detroit Free Press. McCaffrey, whose older brother Max played at Duke and whose other older brother, Christian, was The Associated Press Player of the Year last season at Stanford, passed for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns during the 2015 season. He ran for 592 yards and 13 touchdowns and also caught three passes, two of which were for touchdowns. He opted for the opportunity to play at Michigan Stadium — which has capacity for more than 100,000 fans and is nicknamed The Big House — despite reported offers from schools such as LSU, UCLA, Colorado, Colorado State, Arizona State, Nebraska, Penn State and others. In another verbal commitment, Arvada West’s 7-foot center Dallas Walton confirmed to BuffZone that he will play basketball next season at the University of Colorado. Third start for Pugh Mallory Pugh, the 17-year-old senior at Mountain Vista, started for the third straight game in the U.S. women’s 2-0 soccer victory over Canada Feb. 21 in the final game of the CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying tournament in Houston. Pugh had an assist in the win as the United States earned a berth in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Both the U.S. and Canada had secured Olympic spots with semifinal victories.
