Hickenlooper touts ‘rigorous’ new oil and gas rules Says air will be cleaner ‘than it was before fracking’ By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper was lauded by energy industry leaders and environmental groups on Feb. 25, two days after a state commission approved sweeping new air pollution rules that will regulate oil and gas activity in the state. The new rules will make Colorado the first state to impose regulations designed to detect and reduce climate-harming methane emissions. “They are the strongest rules on air pollution ever adopted in the U.S.,” Fred Krupp, the national leader of the Environmental Defense Fund said. “It is really a model for the nation.” The rules, approved by an 8-1 vote of the Colorado Air Quality Commission on Feb. 23, was a result of Hickenlooper’s calls for tougher rules aimed at protecting Colorado’s air. “We (now) have the most rigorous air and water regulations around oil and gas in the country, without question,” the governor said at a Capitol press conference. “I think that goes a long way toward demonstrating to people that this trio of (environmental) nonprofits, the (oil and gas) industry, and the government, that if we work

contribute to “ground-level” ozone depletion and smog, which can lead to health affects such as increased asthma attacks and respiratory conditions. The rules also aim to reduce 60,000 tons of methane emissions each year. The natural gas causes a greenhouse effect when in the atmosphere. In addition, the rules target hydrocarbon emissions that also have ozone and climate change impacts. The new rules are expected to take effect mid-April. However, Wolk said it will take several years to implement all the regulations. The key will be the installation of infrared cameras that will be used to detect air pollution at oil and gas sites, he said. The work in getting the regulations put in place made for strange bedfellows among environmental advocates and those in the energy industry. Rules continues on Page 10

With the opening of the newest veteran’s outpatient clinic in Golden, about 42,000 Jeffco veterans will now have a more spacious facility that offers a spread of medical services along with compensation and pension exams. The Golden clinic located at 1020 Johnson Road is a brand new two-story 39,634-square-feet building that replaces the Lakewood VA Clinic at the Denver VA Regional Office on Van Gordon Street. The Lakewood location was considerably smaller than the Golden clinic at approximately 2,000 square feet in size. “We’re the third largest county for veterans’ population in the state of Colorado,” said Peter Mortaro, veterans service officer at Jeffco Human services. We’re second to Arapahoe County which has about 800 more veterans than we do,” he said. As the Jefferson County Veterans Service Officer, Mortaro’s job is to provide assistance for the filing of claims for veterans injured while on active duty. Mortaro can also assist with state benefits including service connected compensation, none service connected pension, Survivors Pension, burial benefits, educational benefits such as the GI Bill and enrollment in the VA Health Care System, he said. Patients can expect a wide range of services to be available at the Golden facility including primary care, mental health, Xray, physical therapy and labs. Services for compensation and pension exams have been consolidated to one location contributing to a more comprehensive service center for veterans. “It is going to be great for the veterans and families to get to with the light rail just up the street from the building,” County Commissioner Faye Griffin said. Jeff Birdwell, U.S. Army veteran and adjutant for Chapter 1041 for the Military Order of the Purple Heart in Arvada, said the new facility will help tremendously by relieving the large case load from the main hospital. The Military Order of the Purple Heart is a volunteered based organization run by veterans who are dedicated to working on community based projects including providing funds to VA hospitals. Birdwell, a Purple Heart recipient after his military experience in Vietnam, hopes to open up a coffee and popcorn kiosk at the outpatient clinic.

Dreams over time, one at a time He has always dreamed. Of what could be. When he was 8, picking strawberries in the fields of his Mexican town. When, at 12, he left home for the big city to sell popsicles and snow cones to help his parents provide for their family. When, at 17, he walked from Tijuana over the mountain range into California, wanting the American dream. “Era muy triste — la pobreza,” he says. The poverty — it was very sad. “And it made me very sad. My dreams were different.” What he saw was a life of possibility — and music. Singing. Performing. Applause. And although it may not be exactly the original dream, what Ruben Escalera has now, at 54, is close enough to make him happy. By most days, Ruben is a school custodian who takes pride in keeping his Douglas County high school neat, clean, ready for the students who fill its halls. Other days, he trades his working polo shirt for a crisp button-down, his white baseball cap for a black cowboy hat, and steps onto a stage to croon norteño music in a deep, resonant voice before crowd-packed venues in several Mexican states. He is a wiry, compact man, a divorced father of three with brushes of gray in his sideburns and a closely trimmed beard and mustache. He walks with a measured step, and speaks with quiet assurance born of devout faith that seeks good in what comes his way. “Gracias a Dios, nunca me di por ven-

cido,” he says. Thanks be to God, I never gave up. “Luché, luché, luché, luché.” He fought, always. And there was much to fight. He lived in Corona, a rural town in Michoacán, a state just west of Mexico City. He was one of 13 children of a homemaker mother and a father who did everything from plumbing to bricklaying and construction. Some of his brothers cut sugar cane; Ruben did, too. Mostly he picked strawberries with two of his sisters. He’d arrive at the field at 7 in the morning and pick for an hour, then head to school. At noon, he’d leave school and return to the fields for another two hours, before finishing out the afternoon with play and homework — “the typical life of a boy of 8 years old.” Because he had to leave school to help his father, he repeated first grade four times. He never made it to second grade. “Es una tristeza,” he says softly. “It is a sadness.” That reality derailed an early dream to be a priest, to study in a seminary. Instead, at 12, he left home for Mexico City to sell popsicles and snow cones. He lived with seven others who rented a house together.

“I believed that was the best way I could help my parents,” he says. But another dream — the one in which he was a singer — stayed quietly alive. It was born in his home, among the instruments dispersed in corners — the guitar, the violin, the guitarrón of the mariachi tradition. His father played them all. His mother sang with “a precious voice.” And his brothers and he joined in also. “Nos traían esa herencia,” he says. They gave us that heritage. And much happiness. At 9, he had won his first singing competition at the local theater, the first of many such performances in those young years. But at 17, searching for a better life, he crossed the border illegally to join his brother in Los Angeles. He washed dishes and cars, worked in metal and carpet factories. He also learned to play the bass guitar and joined a mariachi group that performed in Mexican neighborhood nightclubs. It became a second, welcome source of income. His voice, smooth and sonorous, brought him work in variety shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas on long weekends. When he married at 25, he turned to norteño music, most comparable to American country music, Ruben says. And for seven years he performed with a band. During that time, in 1986, Ronald Reagan’s immigration policy, which provided amnesty to 3 million illegal immigrants, opened the door for Ruben to become a legal resident. But then came the “sickness in his throat.” Cancer. He stopped performing for two years to treat it, then joined an-

other band, the most successful one, with which he toured throughout the U.S. and Mexico for four years. In 1999, the cancer returned. And “with all the pain in my soul, I had to leave the band.” For much of two years, he communicated only by writing, praying that God would let him keep his voice. Eventually, his throat healed. That twist in the road, however, brought him to Colorado and to the job he now holds and which, he says, he loves. Six years ago, working hard to improve his English, he became a U.S. citizen. Five years ago, he began to sing again. The first time he performed, he cried. “It was a very big emotion, very big, very big. … The people, they liked my work, accepted my style. … I was happy.” He calls himself “El Vale de Michoacán,” after the nickname his late father called him as a child — val-ay, buddy. Two to three times a year he heads to Mexico to perform. Life is good. He is content. But he harbors one more dream, to one day dedicate himself only to his music. Dreams are important, he says. “When you know you can be someone, but you don’t have the means, well, it is dreams that one uses to fight.” Like Ruben did. Un sueño, one dream, at a time.

With that understanding in place, we make sure that the house is ready to sell — that any deferred maintenance items are handled, the house is de-cluttered, and the family situation allows for easy showing. Then we set about finding their replacement home. Sometimes the seller has already identified a house they want. The trick is getting it under contract before it sells to someone else. With homes selling quickly, it may not be possible to find a house and then get your current house under contract in time to submit a contract on the new home. If, however, you can find a house that is for sale but not currently on the market — for example, a home that was withdrawn without selling last year — then it’s possible that the seller would accept a contingent offer that won’t be bested by an offer from another buyer. That’s exactly the scenario that played out successfully last month for one of my clients.

Sure, You Can Sell Your House Now, But Will You Be Able to Find a New One? By JIM SMITH, Realtor®

The hardest part about today’s tight real estate market can be timing the sale of your current home to match the purchase date of your replacement home. Most of us can’t buy our replacement home without selling our current home, and we can’t expect to get a contract on that replacement home if our current home isn’t at least under contract and past the allimportant inspection objection deadline. None of us wants to end up homeless as a result of selling our current house without finding a home to buy. With good rentals even harder to find than homes for sale, that could be a real possibility! So, how do you make it work for you? Over the years, I have guided clients through exactly this kind of dilemma, and here are some ways the buyers and I have made it work. First of all, I make sure the seller is willing to price their current home so that it will sell quickly. An overpriced home can fail to sell, even in a seller’s market.

Early detection of Alzheimer’s key to treatment Why it’s important to know warning signs By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

Golden Business & Financial Services, Inc. Financial & tax counseling - business & personal

Alzheimer’s disease is a prevailing illness that develops in an American every 68 seconds, reports the Alzheimer’s Association, a leading organization in the advancement of research, resource and education. While a cure for Alzheimer’s remains to be seen, researchers have discovered a pathway to slowing the disease’s progression and maybe one day stopping the disease’s attack on the brain by catching it in its early onset. Today, most patients with Alzheimer’s are usually diagnosed at mid-stage, but with education on the 10 warning signs of the disease individuals may be able to get ahead of the disease. During an informative presentation at the Golden Community Center hosted by the Front Porch, Ron Uchida, volunteer for Alzheimer’s Association featured the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s, starting with memory changes. “In the case of Alzheimer’s what we’re really talking about is things that disrupt our daily lives, things that occur over and over again,” Uchida said. Symptoms associated with memory changes include repetitive questioning, forgetting something recently learned and relying on memory aides such as sticky notes, he said. Confusion with time and place and trouble understanding spatial

relationships are also indicators of Alzheimer’s along with mood changes, social withdraw and challenges with planning and solving problems. “Every Alzheimer’s patient is going to differ,” Uchida said. “We don’t understand what the pathology is but the way the disease attacks the brain seems to vary from individual to individual,” he said. What is constant is that patients will exhibit one or more of the symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s. “The earlier folks can recognize it, the earlier they can take action as far as finding support and educating themselves,” said Lacey Hayden, care coordinator at the Senior Resource Center. “The earlier you know the better your chances are for getting in on clinical trials and also being a part of your care decisions.” If a person suspects they may be experiencing the onset of Alzheimer’s, it is important to seek a diagnosis from their primary care provider who will be able to administer physical examinations, mental tests and receive information regarding family history and mental illness. These examinations which typically do not require a costly head scan are 93 percent accurate, Hayden said. Today, it is hard to predict who will get Alzheimer’s and what specifically causes it but recent statistics shared from the Alzheimer’s Association indicate the older a person gets, the more likely they are to develop Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association has reported that one in three seniors die with Al-

By 2025, the number of people aged 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease is estimated to reach 7.1 million, a 40 percent increase from the 5 million aged 65 and older currently affected. “If you can arrest the disease before those brain cells are dead, than you’ve done a tremendous amount for preventing it from becoming really severe,” Uchida said.

LEGISLATIVE BRIEFS Cyberbullying bill advances

A bill that would make cyberbullying a crime passed a House committee with unanimous support on Feb. 25. House Bill 1131 would make it a misdemeanor when “a child or a teenager is harassed, humiliated, embarrassed, threatened or tormented using digital technology,” according to Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, the bill’s sponsor. The legislation comes as a result of increased cases where youths are bullied through social media outlets and text messaging.

The bill passed the House Education committee following a 12-0 vote. The legislation heads to another committee before it gets a vote on the House floor.

Gay tax bill signed into law

Gov. John Hickenlooper on Feb. 27 signed a bill into law that gives gay married couples living in Colorado the ability to file joint state tax returns.

opinions / yours and ours

Senate-race shock waves come with territory When U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner changed course last week from re-election mode to pursuit of the Senate, it was a reminder of just how critical Colorado is in the national political landscape. Gardner was well on his way to being voted back to Washington in the 4th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold made up of farming-based eastern plains counties and conservative Denver suburbs. The congressman’s decision was a personal gamble — if he loses, he’s out of a job — but not so much for the GOP, which seeks to regain control of the upper house. For the Republicans, it was simply putting their best foot forward. The 39-yearold Gardner, labeled a “rising star” in the party in virtually every media report, gives the GOP a chance against Democratic incumbent Mark Udall. That’s something that couldn’t be said with any confidence about

our view the previous field of candidates, which included Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck. Meanwhile, Buck has shifted his sights to Gardner’s House seat, which, unless a high-profile Republican primary challenger emerges, he should be able to garner. The maneuvering strikes us as shrewd, but with Colorado’s primary elections still nearly four months away and the general election eight months off, it’s enough to give some the purple-state blues. Indeed, until the first Tuesday in November, it’s going to be all politics, all the time in this battleground state. If you’re squeamish,

you might want to look away as: • Republican Congressman Mike Coffman wages a fight for his political life against Democrat Andrew Romanoff, Colorado’s former speaker of the House. The race is for the 6th Congressional District seat, a post that represents residents of Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch and Littleton, among other areas. Like the Senate battle, it is one that looms large on both major parties’ national radar, and campaigning is already at a fever pitch. • Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper works to fend off a Republican challenger chosen from among a slew of contenders. The field already includes former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo and Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler. It may soon include former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who, as of this writing, hadn’t announced a run but reportedly was very close to doing so.

His entry would certainly enliven the race and perhaps give the GOP a better shot at unseating Hickenlooper, which if achieved, would be a coup celebrated by Republicans across the country. • Republican lawmakers, fueled by the frustration of taking a pounding in consecutive sessions, pull no punches in their attempt to take back the state Legislature. Many issues will be discussed, but make no mistake, the centerpiece is the Second Amendment. The GOP will try to turn gun control legislation passed by the state’s Democratic lawmakers in 2013 against them, and national party leaders on both sides will be watching. This could get really nasty. There’s an old phrase, one we embrace, that says, “All politics is local.” To that, given the current political climate, we add, “… unless you’re in Colorado.”

Just what if it happens Do you let yourself daydream about what you would have done had you held the $425 million Powerball ticket a couple weeks ago? I did. Not that I devoted a lot of RAM or my working hours to it, but, y’know, as I was falling asleep, or waiting at red lights, I’d let my mind wander. It’s funny. Once upon a time, idle fantasies like that would run to things like opening up a sports bar, or buying a baseball team, or my own personal helicopter. But a funny thing happened this time. All my thoughts went a different direction — they went to my nephew who has cystic fibrosis, or to my good friend who has Lou Gehrig’s Disease, or to my daughter’s best friend, who has a very rare blood disorder. $425 million pays for a lot of research and/ or medical bills. I don’t tell you this to make myself look good — I think many of us dream of being in a position to do great things. And, make no mistake, I still want to own a baseball team. But the reality is that very few of us have unlimited resources to do great things. And, frankly, those who actually are in a position to do great things have been made to feel so guilty about their success and shame for their plenty over the last few years that, were I in that position, I would take my wealth and hide away, far from the eyes of men. And it isn’t just wanting the massive resources to do good. The near collapse of the economy six years ago, and the ongoing struggle for it to gain any traction beyond stagnation, have left too many with such a small margin that it’s hard to even be in a position to help out in small ways. That kind of thing has an impact on our sense of community — in just the last two months, two of my daughter’s other friends have moved out of state because their parents had to go where a job was, there being none around here. However, I was reminded the other night that it doesn’t take great resources to make a difference. And, strangely, that reminder came from children’s movie —

which, like all good children’s movies, is not really a children’s movie. Buried in one of the songs in “The Prince of Egypt” (music and lyrics by the incomparable Stephen Schwartz) is this line: “That’s why we share all we have with you, though there’s little to be found, When all you have is nothing, there’s a lot to go around.” It doesn’t take great resources to do GOOD things. It doesn’t take a fancy car to offer a neighbor’s child a ride home; or unlimited credit to help an elderly person get carry their groceries to their car; it doesn’t take a trip to Starbuck’s to bring a friend a cup of hot coffee on a cold morning. We may not have the glut of disposable income that we’d become accustomed to for most of the last 30 years, and we’ve probably developed some bad habits that make it harder to deal with that. But I don’t think we should let that become an impediment to making the world a better place in very specific, small ways. So if you, like me, are given to making a change during this season of Lent, try small things that make other people’s lives better in small ways. Because, as the song says: “How do you measure the worth of a man? By what he builds or buys? You can never see with your eyes on earth — look through Heaven’s eyes.” Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

“I am not my hair.” I wish I had grabbed that magnet by the checkout counter at the Hallmark store when I first saw it. Because I am not my hair, even though it’s often been my most noticeable first-impression feature. From my earliest memories, I’ve been cursed with the curl of it. “Oh, how lucky you are with naturally curly hair!” This came from my mother’s friends in the days when “curl” for them meant a regular seat under the dome-like dryer at the local beauty shop and a satin pillowcase at home to keep everything in place until their next appointment the following week. For me, managing my curl as a teenager meant huge spongy pink foam rollers and an hour at night under a plastic bonnet hair dryer with hot air roaring to it from a UFO-shaped heater. I endured this ritual even though my daytime ’do would never, could never, be the straight, parted-downthe-middle, 1970s “It-Girl” style. (One

night I woke up to see sparks skittering over the bed; I went back to sleep.) Later, I discovered wondrous new electric magic from my college roommate, magic I could hold in my hand. I used her blow dryer only once though. After 30 minutes on my curls — right before it quit blowing at all — the thing blasted supernova-heated air, gave off a terrible stink, and actually shuddered in my palm. I had another roommate the following year. However, what colors my most recent

memories about my hair is, literally, the color. About the time short curly hair like mine became an actual style (with the miraculous introduction of styling products), I began wrestling with my roots. Heredity was raising its ugly head in the guise of gray hair. And although I remember my mother as gorgeous with her white hair, I immediately began writing checks for my own monthly brunette boost. When I decided to teach overseas for a brief stint, though, I was forced to face up to both the color and the color — I couldn’t seriously expect to commute from Central Asia every three weeks. So I had my hair sheared to about three quarters of a shocking-white curly inch that would look great with a headscarf. It was there that I experienced my first-ever moment of actual hair clarity: on a Turkmenistan bus that was hot, overcrowded, and noisy in a language whose decibels I almost understood. As I squeezed down the aisle, a daiza—a

Turkmen “aunt”— pulled me down beside her to the one empty seat on the bus. My mortification increased as younger women gave up their seats to other daizas who boarded the bus. I went right back to my village market, bought a box and dyed my hair with what turned out to be black. It looked great with a headscarf. At home now, I do thank that daiza every day although I’m still trying to make peace with what nature and my parents handed me. Today I’m sporting a lighter brown short curly cut that usually looks okay … with or without a headscarf. But if you see one of those magnets at the checkout counter, would you please send one along? Andrea Doray is a writer who realized before long that no one else except the village elders had gray hair in Turkmenistan anyway. Contact her at a.doray@ andreadoray.com.

How does a grown woman meet a man? Dear Neil: Valentine’s Day just past by. I didn’t think it would bother me that I’m not in a relationship, but it did. I spent the day with one of my grandchildren, but it did not erase my sadness. Last summer I went to a college reunion, and had many men flirting with me, but no one asked for my number. I occasionally see a man on a train who appears to like me, but he doesn’t ask for my number either. I do explore dating sites a little. I recently heard my ex-sister-in-law has remarried. She was the world’s most cold and unlovable person. How can she be in a relationship and not me? Can you advise me?

Forlorn in Denver Dear Forlorn: Part of the problem is that many people are in a committed relationship but not necessarily married, not wearing a ring and not actually available. Then there are those that will not find you attractive, or you’re not the right age for them, not the right body type or that you’re not the gender they are looking for. And a large number of mature adults have simply quit looking for a romantic

relationship at all. They have, in essence, given up the quest for romance, or have erectile dysfunction (and thus consider themselves out of contention), are preoccupied with work, children or family, or are otherwise no longer interested in pursuing an intimate relationship. But there are plenty who are, and that’s where you need to concentrate. Getting more active with online dating sites may be one avenue to explore, such as trying different sites, posting more flattering photos of yourself or making your online profile more interesting or spicy. Also, quit waiting for men to contact you. Many men are shy and fearful of rejection, and would be flat-

Learning about volume is fun Young children love to play with water. This can happen indoors or outdoors, at the sink, in a bathtub, or wading pool. It can become a math and science experience as they learn about volume while filling different size containers with water. At the same time, they are developing eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills. This kind of play also integrates cognitive skills such as investigation, observation, problem solving, and concept development. For more, see grandparentsteachtoo.org in English and Spanish and wnmufm.org “Learning Through the Seasons.” For very young children, begin with three or four different plastic containers, none larger than a quart. Allow them to fill the larger container with water using the various containers. They will intuitively keep on filling the larger container until it is full. By playing with different sizes of cups, spoons, scoops and containers, toddlers begin to develop a sense of volume.

Volume and older children

For older children, provide the same variety of plastic containers, making sure that there is a standard one-cup measure. Model for the children how to measure the number of cups of water a container can hold by filling the cup with water and pouring it into the empty container. Count aloud as you pour each cup. Explain that you are measuring the volume of the empty container. Define volume as the space something takes up. Discuss that the volume of the container was a certain number of cups. Repeat this with the other containers. Compare the number of cups that are needed. For example, the larger

container had a volume of four cups and the smaller container had a volume of two cups. Estimate how many cups are needed before starting. Vary the activity by using sand, rice or beans. Move measuring into the real world by cooking with your children. Talk about how many cups or teaspoons of each ingredient are used in your recipe. Count how many cups of dry pasta or popcorn are needed to fill a bowl. How many containers of water are needed to reconstitute frozen orange juice?

What else can we do?

Visit the library to look for books about measurement and volume. In the story “Drip, Drop” by Sarah Weeks, a mouse catches water from his leaking roof in different kitchen containers such as a pan or cup. Your children can help fill bags at the grocery store. Collect a variety of different size boxes. See if the children can fit the boxes inside of each other. Talk about which box is the best to start and the reason why. Fill a shoebox with blocks, one layer at a time. Count how many blocks are needed to fill the box.

tered if a woman wrote saying she noticed his profile, found him attractive and would be interested in making contact with him. Increasing your assertiveness may serve you well on dating sites. Also, frequently put yourself in situations with new people, by taking an adult education seminar, a parks and recreation hike, joining a chess club or signing up for a dance class, as examples. You are trying to increase your exposure and your visibility so you can meet as many people as you can — increasing your chances of meeting someone you hit it off with. And perhaps the time has arrived for you to be a bit more bold and daring, and not wait for a man to ask for your number. On the train, for example, you could tell the man that he interests you. Is he available to explore a possible relationship? Taking that same attitude into chance

encounters with new people may also help. Many men assume that a woman is taken, and they are therefore reluctant to try — assuming they’re going to be rejected. Of course, if you do what I’m suggesting, it is you that could find yourself feeling rejected. It’s going to take patience, persistence, guile and luck, but a relationship for you is out there. Don’t let yourself get cynical or jaded — and then give up. Too many other people have taken that route. Hold yourself accountable to find the relationship you hope for.

8 Bombshell impacts GOP Senate field 8 Wheat Ridge Transcript

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A head-spinning development in Colorado politics from a game of musical chairs on Feb. 26 resulted in a consensus front-runner emerging in the Republican field of U.S. Senate candidates. U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner

March 6, 2014

dropped his re-election bid and now has his sights set on unseating Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. Gardner, who represents the state’s 4th Congressional District, takes the place of Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck in the Republican field. Buck — who lost a tight race to Sen. Michael Bennet in 2010 — dropped his Senate bid to

run for Gardner’s House seat. “We need to replace Mark Udall in the Senate, and I believe Congressman Cory Gardner is in the strongest position to make that happen,” Buck said in a Feb. 26 news release. Gardner, who officially announced his candidacy at a press conference in Denver on March 1, was elected to the House in 2010 after defeating incumbent Rep. Betsy Markey. Before that, Gardner served in the state House. The Yuma resident is known as a rising star in the GOP and has been an outspoken critic of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. With Buck out and Gardner in, the Republicans stand a better shot at taking Udall’s seat, according to one longtime Colorado political scientist. “I would say Cory Gardner is the strongest (Republican) candidate in the race at the moment,” said Bob Loevy, a retired Colorado College political science professor. “Having a sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives in the race, that’s a big improvement for the Republicans.” Loevy, a Republican who is well-respected among politicos for his impartial analysis, said the party is better off not having Buck involved in another Senate race. Buck made national headlines in 2010 for comments he made about women, which cost him in

Gardner announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate later in the week. Courtesy photo his race against Bennet. “It’s a plus that Buck is out of the race,” Lovey said. “He already ran for the Senate and lost, so he already has a loser image which is hard to overcome in politics. I think he is much better off and has a much better chance of getting elected to House.” Buck already has company in the House race. State Sen. Scott Renfroe, of Greeley, announced his candidacy the day after the news broke. Other names have also emerged as potential candidates, including state lawmakers Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling and Tim Dore of Elizabeth. The 4th Congressional District includes many counties in the eastern plains region of Colorado,

but also encompasses some territory close to the Denver metro area, including Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Elbert County. The fallout from the Gardner-Buck moves was substantial in the Senate race. State Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, announced through a news release the following day that she was dropping her Senate bid as well to back Gardner, whom she called “an outstanding public servant who will unite our party and communicate our conservative principles.” Stephens thanked her supporters and said she would continue doing her work as a state representative, but did not offer any reason behind her decision to drop out of the race.

GARDNER’S STATEMENT Congressman Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) officially announced

his bid for the U.S. Senate on March 1. The following excerpts are from a news release announcing his candidacy:

“Today, we begin a nine-month fight for the future of our

country. And don’t let anyone say otherwise — this fight is about the future, for our families, children and grandchildren. This past year the nation has watched Colorado push back against overreach and indecisive leadership. Today, we join the nation and bring Colorado into focus as we push back against Harry Reid and President Obama.

“The United States that we know is fading. Amidst big

government boondoggles and unaccountable bureaucracies, the people of this country find themselves working harder and harder each and every day only to see the promise of opportunity slip further and further from their reach.

“It doesn’t have to be this way. Today, while surrounded by a loving family and everyday Coloradans who know we can do better, I announced my intention to run for the United States Senate and to begin the hard work of rebuilding our great nation.”

But it was clear that Stephens had a tough road, especially because of her sponsorship of last year’s legislation that set up Colorado’s health insurance exchanges, which came as a result of “Obamacare.” “I think she may have found that while many people may have admired her for `Amy Care,’ I think she may have discovered in a GOP primary that would be a tremendous burden,” Loevy said. Stephens was not at the Capitol the day of her announcement and she did not return a phone call seeking comment. While Stephens is now out of the race, state Sen. Owen Hill, R-Colorado Springs, vows to continue his candidacy in spite of a party establishment move that he thinks left Republican voters “hoodwinked.” “This has been in the works for a while,” Hill said of Gardner’s late entry into the field. “This has all been coordinated. This is exactly what’s been losing it for Republicans in Colorado for a while — these insider, backroom deals that give people the sense that, `I’m sorry, you’re part of the party, but you have no say in who your candidates are going to be.’ “That makes it feel like it’s a coronation and not an election.” Lovey said he doesn’t know what was behind the Gardner-Buck switch, but he said that Hill may be on to something when he says that the party establishment played a big role. The field also includes state Sen. Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulfur Springs, and three others who do not hold public office: Mark Aspiri, Tom Janich, and Floyd Trujillo. Loevy said that Udall would be the favorite regardless of who emerges from the GOP field.

More Coloradans are receiving food assistance today than during the worst months of the Great Recession. Since 2007, the number of people receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program — formerly known as food stamps — has more than doubled. An average of 508,200 residents qualified for SNAP dollars each month during 2013, according to the Colorado Department of Human Services. This year the state predicts that an additional 44,000 Coloradans will sign up for help in putting food on the table. But the available assistance is limited. The average SNAP household of 2.5 people receives about $300 a month, according to government figures, or $10 a day. “The big challenge right now is in November food stamp benefits were reduced when the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’s temporary boost ended,” said Michelle Ray, spokeswoman for the advocacy group Hunger Free Colorado. The dollar deduction means some families are sacrificing nutritional food like milk and produce for cheaper, less healthy alternatives, Ray said. In some cases food banks have stepped in to help. “We don’t care if they get food stamps, a lot of people just need help” Vic Ocana, executive director of Compassion Food Banks said. He said Compassion’s nine locations in Colorado all report growing lines for food distribution since last fall. “We try to give them enough food for the month but people are more anxious for help now,” Ocana said. In recent years the SNAP program has become caught up in political infighting in Washington, with House Republicans wanting to cut benefits in the name of reducing government spending, while Senate Democrats, among others, argue that the program is important in the fight against hunger. In Colorado, about 40 percent of “working age” SNAP users, those 16 to 65, were employed as of June 2013. “Seeing one person abusing the system

ruins it for everyone else,” said Andrea Fuller, executive director of the monthly newspaper Denver VOICE, of allegations that the program is sometimes misused. “For the majority of people on SNAP it’s humiliating and humbling.” Before getting her position with VOICE in November, Fuller said she relied on SNAP benefits to help feed her family. “Even working multiple part-time jobs I wasn’t earning enough,” Fuller said. In 2011 she enrolled in the SNAP program. “It’s one thing for me to be hungry, but I can’t bear to see my children hungry.” Many SNAP users just aren’t earning enough to feed themselves and their families, Fuller said. Others need government assistance after losing a job. Some are disabled. The population is diverse, Fuller said, and “not enough people have enough income right now.” Communication from the state can be confusing for SNAP users, Fuller said, and attempting to contact a caseworker can be “frustrating” in that it can take several days. Keeping up with the rapid increase in SNAP participants has been a challenge for offices across the state, especially in rural areas, acknowledged Sue McGinn, director of the state’s food and energy division. One problem — in which 5 percent of Coloradans on SNAP were accidentally overpaid by the state and then forced to pay back the money — has been addressed, McGinn said. In July, the state will implement new software that should improve communication. “The program has never had a 100 percent increase in participants in such a short amount of time,” she said. “Colorado’s participation rate is still low compared to other states. We tend to be in the bottom five when ranked nationally.” State officials remain skeptical that SNAP participation rates will return to 2007 levels any time soon. “Once the economy gets better I’m not expecting a huge shift back,” McGinn said. “We’re just seeing the stabilization of the program.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS.

A big boom of nostalgia “The Baby Boom” by P.J. O’Rourke c.2014, Atlantic Monthly Press $25.00 / $27.50 Canada 272 pages Whenever you get together with old friends – no matter what the reason – it always ends up with “Remember When…?” Remember piling in the station wagon, scrambling for a good seat in the back? And when your sister chased that bully away? He was bigger than she, but twice as scared. And remember cruising down Washington Avenue in a convertible, top-down? Ahh, those were the days: fun then, fun to recall now. And when you read “The Baby Boom” by P.J. O’Rourke, you’ll remember even more of them. To write about the Baby Boom is to tackle a big project: there are more than 75 million of us, born over the course of nearly 20 years. There are times, in fact, when “the oldest Baby Boomers are sometimes the parents – usually via an oopsie – of the youngest Baby Boomers.” Basically, though, Baby Boomers can be sorted, much like high school, into seniors (at the beginning of the Boom); juniors (born in the early ’50s); sophomores (late ’50s); and freshmen (born at Boom’s end). This book, written by a “senior,” nonetheless holds memories for all Boomers… Memories like getting a new TV, though the people on television were generally members of the “Silent Generation,” born between our parents and us. Later, they’d be the “anyone over 30” we weren’t sup-

posed to trust. When we went anywhere in our parents’ big-finned cars, we rode in the front seat, often standing up. Houses had one phone, connected to the wall, but we rarely used it because yelling across several yards was the preferred neighborhood method of communication. People wrote letters, too, or they just “dropped over,” no appointment necessary. Kids played outside a lot then, and parents liked it that way. Games were fair, it didn’t matter who won, and “we ran wild – in a rather tame manner.” We learned the Facts of Life (and didn’t want to believe it), we spied on one another, blew things up, had crushes, were embarrassed by our parents, and were told that we could “be or do anything.” It was, says O’Rourke, a “good and happy place” to grow up. Though it does sometimes descend into curmudgeon territory and can seem somewhat growly, “The Baby Boom” really is quite a pleasure. Despite that author P.J. O’Rourke was an early Boomer (a “senior”), there’s plenty of Universal Boomer Truths here, and lots of nostalgia for anyone born between 1946 and 1964. O’Rourke (largely) ignores his usual topics in this book, instead bringing back the kinds of memories that occur when family and friends gather – though politics peek into the latter half of the book, and sarcastically profane humor isn’t missing, either. Overall, that will appeal to hip first-time readers without disappointing long-time fans. Better than an Ed Sullivan marathon; more enjoyable than Beach Boys Radio Weekend; more fun than cleaning out your parents’ attic, this book is a Boomer’s delight. If your bags are packed for a trip down Memory Lane, “The Baby Boom” is a book you’ll want to remember to take with you.

Rules Continued from Page 1

“What this is about is smart and costeffective regulations,” Ted Brown of Noble Energy said. “What this is about is making sure that oil and natural gas is developed in the safest way possible.” Not everyone is in love with the new rules. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association argued for softer regulations. However, COGA’s Tisha Schuler, who attended the press conference, said her group is ready to move on. “We did not get everything we wanted in this rule, but the rule passed so we’re focused on moving forward,” she said. “And we’re going to emphasize how can we implement these rules cost effectively.” Hickenlooper also used the press conference to maintain his support of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Colorado. Fracking has received a great deal of attention of late, with five cities in the state having placed some form of ban or limita-

tions on the practice — the state is currently suing the city of Longmont over its voterapproved fracking ban. Add to that, a potential November ballot initiative would ask Colorado voters to give municipalities the ability to decide for themselves what kinds of activities occur within city limits, including fracking. The governor, who is a geologist, acknowledged the “friction” surrounding the fracking issue while voicing support of the practice. “There is a group that wants to ban all hydrocarbons; they want to ban fracking,” he said. “I think what we demonstrated (through the new rules) is that we’re going to make the air cleaner than it was before fracking.” Hickenlooper talked about the oftencontentious split estate issues, where dual property ownership can lead to “character of neighborhood versus the value of retirement” battles over residents’ and mineral rights. “These are closely held values that are hard to negotiate,” he said. “But in the end, when they’re in conflict, we’ve got to figure out how to negotiate and how to find a compromise.”

Living the La La land lifestyle Emily Paton Davies plays Maureen and Emma Messenger is Mag in The Edge Theatre’s production of “The Beauty Queen of Leenane.” Photo by Rachel D Graham

Mikael Padilla, local hair stylist and owner of Mikael Padilla Salon at 300 Fillmore St. in Cherry Creek, was in La La land last weekend for a trip to the Oscars. Padilla attended the March 2, Academy Awards with friend and client, Taryn Rose, an orthopedic surgeon-turned shoe designer. You can see her designs at www.tarynrose.com. Rose is a Vietnamese refuge and became a doctor like her father before creating a successful shoe business, designed out of frustration with shoes that left women with aching feet. Padilla also had an appointment to color Camila Alves’ hair on March 1. Who is that you ask? Only the wife of Best Actor nominee Matthew McConaughey, nominated for his work in “Dallas Buyers Club.”

Fallon takes ‘pot’ shot at Colorado

Edge Theatre’s latest is Irish classic By Clarke Reader

creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com People in a room hashing it out. It’s a simple recipe for drama, but perhaps one of the most tried and true methods for wringing all the humor, bitterness and humanity out of a story. Martin McDonagh’s “The Beauty Queen of Leenane” expertly tackles the complicated relationship between a mother and her daughter with more than a few surprises thrown in. The Edge Theatre, 1560 Teller WHAT: “The Beauty Queen of St., will be hosting “Beauty Queen” Leenane” through March 30. Performances WHERE: The Edge Theatre will be 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 1560 Teller St., Lakewood 6 p.m. Sunday, March 2 and 9; 2 WHEN: Through March 30 p.m. Sunday, March 16 and 30. Friday and Saturday - 8 p.m. “The play really shows the dark, Sunday, March 2 and 9 - 6 p.m. comic side of the human condiSunday, March 16 and 30 - 2 tion,” director Michael Stricker p.m. said. “At its foundation it is about COST: $20 advance, $22 at people who desperately want to be the door needed.” INFORMATION: 303-232-0363 The play takes place in the Irish or www.theedgetheater.com village of Leenane, Connemara, in the early 1990s and focuses on Maureen Folan (Emily Paton Davies), a 40-year-old spinster, and Mag (Emma Messenger), her manipulative mother. According to Davies, the two have a fractious relationship at best, made only more complicated by Mag’s interference with Maureen’s relationship with Pato (Mark Collins) and his brother, Ray (Michael Bouchard). “She (Maureen) really longs to find love and escape her situation, and she attempts to escape in several ways — from reading romance novels to find a love interest,” Davies explained. To create the character of Maureen — a character that Davies said resonates with her on several levels — Stricker and Davies worked a lot on finding relatable faucets in her nature. “We worked to pinpoint things that were universal in her character,” Davies said. “Things we’ve all dealt with like longing and dealing with disappointment.” With such a small cast, it is crucial that every actor brings

their A-game, and Davies said that Stricker has assembled a great team to bring the story to life. Both Stricker and Davies said one of the biggest challenges for the show was getting the Irish dialect down pat, but working together the cast has been able to create the sound they need. “There is a boldness that comes from great interaction, and I think this show has two of the best women roles,” he said. “This is my first time at The Edge and it’s been a great experience.” Stricker also credits the Edge’s crew with helping to make the show a standout. For the cast, the show can be a bit of an emotional battlefield, but according to Davies, it has been well worth it. “Real life is not just one thing — it goes from being hilarious one minute to tragic the next,” she said. “It will take audiences for a ride to the unexpected and keep them guessing.” Stricker said the Edge’s small space is a perfect fit for “Beauty Queen.” “The dialogue is undeniably great, and it’s the perfect play in my mind for the intimate setting,” he said. “The show hasn’t been done for a while in the area and I think it’s time for it to come back.” For more information call 303-232-0363 or visit www.theedgetheater.com.

Spanking new “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon took a pot shot at our own Gov. John Hickenlooper Feb. 25 by making jest of Colorado’s legal retail marijuana laws. “Colorado expects to make $100 million from taxing legalized marijuana,” the comedian said. “Governor John Hickenlooper (big audience laugh at the name) says he will use a lot of that money to build new schools. Suggested names? “U. Holden Academy, Hot Pocket Prep and St. Mary Jane’s.”

Seth Meyers coming Colorado

Speaking of NBC late-night hosts: Seth Meyers, the new host of NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” will perform live at The Ellie Caulkins Opera House on Sept. 13. Meyers replaced Fallon as host of “Late Night” on Feb. 24. Tickets for the show are $49.50 to $59.50 and went on sale Feb. 28. Proceeds will benefit The Zarlengo Foundation, a Colorado-based 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization whose guiding principle is to support families of learning disabled children. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to schools and programs in the community that provide specialized education for children with learning disabilities, including but not limited to language-based, attention and nonverbal disabilities such as dyslexia and attention deficit disorder.

spellbound with stories your week & more Jeffco storytellers bring imaginative tales to students By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@coloradocommunitymedia. com Third-graders sit in the library of Sheldon Elementary in Golden, eyes fixed on the man that even the librarian knows only as Grandbear. “Bubble? Bubble?” Grandbear, aka Lev Ropes, says in a comically befuddled voice. Listening to Grandbear’s original tale of a mysterious bubble that appears in town, the children giggle every time he repeats the word. “I have a movie running in my head when I tell a story, and I hope they do too,” Ropes said following storytime. Ropes, and a band of storytellers like him, make up the Jeffco chapter of the national nonprofit group, Spellbinders. Founded in Colorado in 1988, the organization was initially founded as a way for retired volunteers to become involved with the youth and schools. Ropes said the 70 storytellers of the Jeffco chapter told more than 3,600 tales in county schools last year. Grandbear, a family nickname used by his grandchildren, spins stories for around 260 children a month, and has been a Spellbinder for 14 years now. “I started (storytelling) when I retired,” Ropes said. A former singer, dancer, mechanic,

photographer, and more, Ropes said he didn’t really find his niche until he started storytelling. He said after telling tales for everyone from first graders to senior citizens, third grade was truly the age group he found he liked to perform for the most. “And for an old guy like me, taking medications, these kids are the best prescription,” Ropes said. The 79-year-old storyteller certainly does seem to come alive as he tells his tale to the children — walking, gesturing, mimicking, and making silly words with silly voices, earning the attention and laughter of his audience. “Bubble? People, that bubble isn’t a bubble. That bubble is some trouble. And being some trouble, I’m going to turn it into rubble!” Ropes proclaims, speaking as the misguided king of the story. As the story continues, the foolish king ends up stuck inside of the bubble and it is up to a smart little girl to rescue him and save the day. Ropes said it is hard to describe the thrill of connection he feels when storytelling, but he highly recommends it, whether by reading a story to a child in the family, or performing before a group. “It goes back to before written language — we are hardwired to story. And it’s been shown that we learn better and remember more when something is told to us in story form,” Ropes said. As for storytelling advice, Grandbear says: “Tell a story you really like and want to tell, and that will resonate with the kids.” For those interested in Spellbinders, contact Barbara B. Morrissey, Training Coordinator, at bb.morrissey@comcast.net.

Golden nearly pulls off huge tourney upset Demons wrap up successful season, look to future By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com GLENWOOD SPRINGS - A golden opportunity slipped through the fingers of the Lady Demons. After recording a big opening round playoff victory, No. 7 Golden was barely beaten by No. 2 Glenwood Springs 48-44 in the second round of the state tournament Friday at Glenwood Springs High School. The Demons (13-12, 8-6 in 4A Jeffco) and their average record took on powerhouse Glenwood Springs (23-2) who had only two losses on the season. And Golden nearly gave them their third loss as the Demons managed to go toe-to-toe with the “other” Demons for four full quarters. Golden led at halftime 25-23 but were outscored in the final two quarters. Glenwood Springs’ Delaney Gaddis, one of 4A best scorers, hit several big buckets

down the stretch for her Demons. Golden had a couple opportunities in the game’s final minutes to tie the game but they could not convert and Glenwood Springs advanced. “Glenwood Spring is a really good team not just a good team,” Golden coach Shea Scarlett said before the game. “We know we would have to be at our best in order to compete with them.” No one is more disappointed with the loss more than Scarlett. Scarlett wanted to win the game for his seniors that included Haley Blodgett and Jessica King, who suited up for the Demons for the last time. Golden will graduate six seniors but will still have strong team return next season. Scarlett, just a first year head coach, should be very proud of the season his team had. Scarlett has helped put Golden girls’ hoops back on the map as they competed hard against very tough league opponents in D’Evelyn and Green Mountain. Scarlett has the program trending upwards, as evident by Golden’s opening round playoff 53-39 victory over Kennedy on Tuesday. Blodgett had 16 points and King has 10 points in the win.

Tigers nearly knock off reigning 5A champs Lakewood pushed Raptors to brink but can’t close By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia. com CENTENNIAL – Lakewood nearly pulled off the upset of the tournament but was held off by the defending 5A state champs Eaglecrest in a 45-44 loss in the second round of the state tournament Saturday at Eaglecrest High School. Despite having nine losses on the year going into the game the Tigers played as if they were the reigning champs, raining just enough jump shots to keep Eaglecrest close. Evan O’Dorsio led Lakewood with 15 points but with a chance tie the game in the closing second the Tigers were not able to get a shot off. Instead, thinking they had more time left in the game, Lakewood went for a layup that cut Eaglecrest lead to a single point. However, despite having all of the momentum late in the contest, the Tigers had

no time left and no timeouts to draw a foul. And just like that Lakewood went from giant potential shocker, to shocked they lost a game that could have been won. But that is also why Eaglecrest is the reigning state champions. Jaisen Jackson had 15 points for the Raptors, and while no other Eaglecrest player scored over six points, their size, physicality and strength were enough to hold Lakewood off. The Tigers actually set the tone for the game that turned into a nail-biter leading 12-10 after the first quarter. And they never let Eaglecrest open up a double digit lead. The championship experience came into play for the Coyotes who have now won six straight playoff games dating back to next season. Lakewood (15-10, 9-7 in 5A Jeffco) was streaky this season at times looking very average. But they also had six game win streak. In addition, they played up to their competition all season long, playing well against elite teams. The Tigers also beat Fountain-Fort Carson 43-24 in the first round of the playoffs Wednesday at Lakewood High School.

Ralston Valley joins Sweet 16 No. 5 Ralston Valley went on the road to advance to the Sweet 16 after beating No. 4 Fort Collins 44-43 in the second round of the state tournament Saturday at Fort Collins High School. The Mustangs got 17 points from junior Andrew Wingard and Ralston Valley used gritty defense to hold off the higher ranked Lambkins. Two nights earlier Ralston Valley beat Pine Creek 72-54 at home in its playoff opener. The Mustangs (18-7, 11-5 in 5A Jeffco) will now play at top-ranked Mountain Vista on Wednesday. D’Evelyn boys back in Great 8 D’Evelyn boys’ basketball survived a scare and then rolled its next opponent as they advanced to the Great 8. After a first round bye the Jaguars outlasted Falcon 75-69 in the second round of the state tournament Friday at D’Evelyn High School. One night later the Jaguars hammered

Mead 69-46 in the Sweet 18 again in their building. Senior Brian Smith broke out for a game-high 26 points and junior Grant Witherspoon added 22 points for D’Evelyn. The Jaguars (20-5, 13-1 in 4A Jeffco) will now face Sand Creek in the Great 8 Saturday at 12 p.m at the Denver Coliseum. Golden falls apart in fourth quarter No. 3 Golden boys’ basketball was bounced out of the state tournament after its 72-56 loss to No. 6 Greeley Central in the second round of the state tournament Friday at Golden High School. After earning a first round bye the Demons faced a Greeley Central team that can score in bunches. And the Wildcats did just that. Down just two points going into the fourth quarter Golden’s defense disappeared and Greeley Central closed out the game with a 29-15 final quarter. The Demons (19-5, 12-2 in 4A Jeffco) had three double-digit scorers, including Jevon Martinez’s 25 points. Sophomore Ryan Blodgett led Golden with 16 points.

jeffco girls hoops highlights D’Evelyn, Ralston Valley advance; Green Mountain heartbroken D’Evelyn making another run at title

D’Evelyn girls’ basketball advanced to the Great 8 with a pair of playoff victories last week. After receiving a first round bye the No. 2 Jaguars beat No. 7 Canon City 56-48 in the second round of the state tournament Friday at D’Evelyn High School. 24 hours later D’Evelyn beat a hometeam No. 3 Pueblo West 74-50 in the Sweet 16 and yet again the Jaguars have advanced to the Great 8. After a rusty tournament opener with Canon City, D’Evelyn used four doubledigit scorers to overwhelm Pueblo West. The Jaguars (21-4, 13-1 in 4A Jeffco) will face No. 1 Mesa Ridge Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at the Denver Coliseum.

Mustangs headed for Sweet 16

Ralston Valley recorded a pair of blowout victories and advanced to the Sweet 16. The No. 5 Mustangs beat No. 12 Eaglecrest 78-32 in the first round of the state tournament Tuesday at Ralston Valley High School.

Then on Friday night the Mustangs upset No. 4 Brighton 73-37 in second round of the state tournament at Brighton High School. Ralston Valley overwhelmed Brighton with three double-digit scoring efforts that included freshman Ashley VanSickle’s 22 points. The Mustangs (20-5, 12-2 in 5A Jeffco) will now play at top-ranked Regis Jesuit on Tuesday.

Rams can’t close, fall to Thompson Valley

No. 4 Green Mountain girls’ basketball had its season ended by No. 5 Thompson Valley losing a 38-37 heartbreaker in the second round of the state tournament Friday at Green Mountain High School. The Rams (19-5, 12-2 in 4A Jeffco) ended their surprising season by being outscored 12-5 in the fourth quarter of a game that they led for over three quarters. Green Mountain’s season was a surprise because they were a team that was supposed to be just good but turned elite, winning 11 straight games mid-season. In addition, they pushed D’Evelyn for a 4A Jeffco title, losing to the Jaguars twice by just single digits.

Wheat Ridge wiped out by Denver South No. 2 Lakewood looks Farmers upset Erie like No. 1 in blowout wins in first round by are outsized by Rebels

Tigers to try and tame Highlands Ranch

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia.com DENVER - Wheat Ridge was eliminated from the state basketball tournament but not before leaving their mark. The Farmers were overwhelmed by Denver South 91-62 in the second round of the state basketball tournament Friday at South High School. But two nights earlier No. 10 Wheat Ridge knocked off No. 7 Erie 60-53 at Erie High School. The Farmers under .500 record didn’t matter on Wednesday as they upset a quality Erie team that had five more regular season wins than Wheat Ridge. A fast start by the Farmers led by junior Jordan Jones fuelled Wheat Ridge who had three players hit double figures at Erie. Jones led 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and four steals, and helped get his teammates into the flow of the game offensively. Wheat Ridge trailed early in the game against Erie but closed out the fourth quarter by outscoring the Tigers 18-13. The Farmers used solid rebounding to keep extra possessions away from Erie and senior Stefan Hackethal provided the offense with 15 points and seven rebounds. However, against South, Wheat Ridge lost the rebounding advantage due to the Rebels’ massive size inside. And not only are the Rebels big, but they are one of the larg-

est teams in the state. Wheat Ridge actually led 14-12 after the first quarter but South then outscored the Farmers 30-12 in the second quarter, blowing the game wide open. Wheat Ridge coach Tommy Dowd used a variety of combinations of players to try and slow down South but their physicality and athleticism proved to be too much. However, don’t feel too bad for the Farmers, because they will

lose only two players to graduation. And while one of those is Hackethal who is the Farmers’ leader, next season Wheat Ridge might have the good to compete with D’Evelyn and Golden for a league title. The Farmers (11-14, 7-7 in 4A Jeffco) also wrapped up their season winning five of six games, while getting big production from what will be key players for them next season.

LAKEWOOD - The Lakewood Lady Tigers are so good they are lapping teams. No. 2 Lakewood looked like a juggernaut in their 62-31 win over No. 7 Doherty in the second round of the state tournament Friday at Lakewood High School. After sitting out the first round with a well-deserved bye the Tigers showed no rust on Friday night jumping out to a 30-12 lead. Doherty managed to slow down sophomore-sensation Mackenzie Forrest holding her to just four points. But it didn’t matter because Lakewood’s senior leader Jessica Brooks wasn’t going to be denied. Brooks led the Tigers with 18 points and she controlled the glass with her 10 rebounds. In addition, senior Gabby Carbone had 11 points to go along with four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Doherty made one last desperation run that cut Lakewood’s lead down to 14 points in the third quarter. But the Tigers then buried Doherty with a 12-0 run. Lakewood (23-1, 16-0 in 5A Jeffco) looked every bit of the team that has made them one of the favorites to go to the Final Four this season — and maybe further.

Lakewood’s Jessica Brooks makes one of her 18 points during the Tiger’s playoff victory over Doherty on Friday. Photo by Daniel Williams The Falcons (20-4, 8-3 in league play) are also looked at as one of the state’s elite teams. Highland Ranch has three different players that can beat you with big offense outputs. Ciera Morgan (17.5 points per game), Logan Ophiem (12.1 ppg) and Symone Starks (10.3 ppg) are all double-digit scorers nightly. Lakewood will have to do a good job of limiting at least two of those three players from having big scoring nights. The Falcons have won five games in a row by 72 points of more and have scored in the 90’s in two of those games. If the Tigers defeat Highlands Ranch they will face the winner of Regis Jesuit and Ralston Valley.

dwilliams@coloradocommunitymedia. com DENVER - Back-to-back, jack! The Ralston Valley Mustangs capped a perfect season by beating Monarch 4-1 to earn a second straight Colorado High School hockey state championship Saturday at the Denver Coliseum. The Mustangs finished their season a perfect 23-0, dominating nearly every opponent they met along the way. “Once we were around 15 wins we thought we had an opportunity to have a perfect season but that wasn’t our ultimate goal,” Ralston Valley coach Matt Schoepflin said. “Our goal was to be state champions again.” Greg Dyba and Lombardi each scored two goals and recorded a pair of assists. And the duo got three assists from line-mate Austin Resseguie. The Mustangs’ top line of three of the top players in the state all shined in their season’s final game. In addition, Ralston Valley goaltenders Zack LaRocque was near perfect, stopping 18 of 19 Monarch shots, allowing only a single goal to Kyle Dima in the first period. But that was after Dyba’s goal, which not only have the Mustangs an early 1-0 lead, but it set the tone for two additional first period goals that put Monarch in a tough position. 3,000 LF Remove and Replace 5’3” (19-2-2) was widthMonarch combination curb gutter and side-an exceptional walk team and they had a great season only los2,000 LF Remove and Replace 6’6” widthtwice. combination curb gutter and sideing walk AndLFwhile you call30”the Coyotes the 1,200 Remove and can Replace width vertical curbteam & gutter second best in the state, there is no 500 SY Remove and Replace 6” thickness sidewalk doubt the Mustangs are Colorado’s best, 300 SY Remove and Replace 8” thickbeating Monarch for the second time this ness crosspan

Not many teams can say they are undefeated champions,” Schoepflin said.
