The Bud Bowl novelty Remember the Bud Bowl?If not, you missed out because it was way

cool. It was this stop motion animated Super Bowl advertising campaign that matched Bud versus Bud Light for the ultimate beer supremacy.

The ad campaign even incorporated ce-lebrities from the sports world, with Bob Cos-tas, Terry Bradshaw and Tom Landry provid-ing character voice-overs. The Bud Bowl was a blast — well except when they jumped the shark by introducing players from the Bud Dry and Bud Ice teams. Lame.

I even won money on some of the Bud Bowls — well, except in 1991, when I was dumb enough to parlay a Bud Light win with the team the Harlem Globetrotters were play-ing that night. Lousy Washington Generals!

While the Bud Bowl is a thing of the past, this year’s Super Bowl is bringing a new — and literal — interpretation to the Bud Bowl. It pits teams from the two states where mari-juana is legal: Colorado and Washington.

So, the Broncos will be taking on the Se-ahawks in the new and improved Bud Bowl. And the novelty is not lost on Colorado law-makers who passed legislation last year that regulates the new marijuana industry.

“I think it would be funny if instead of Pey-ton Manning saying, ‘Omaha. Omaha. Oma-ha,’ he says, ‘Mile high. Mile high. Puff, puff, pass,’ “ said state Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thorn-ton. “Then I’d probably crack up.”

See, I’m not the only one who appreciates the uniqueness of the game this weekend.

And can you imagine what the Super Bowl ads are gonna look like for the big game?

After voters passed a tax structure for mar-ijuana sales in November, Gov. John Hick-enlooper tweeted about marijuana, Cheetos and Goldfi sh. It’s perfect fodder for commer-cials during a game where a lot of people will be sitting around, watching football, eating Doritos and getting — legally — stoned.

Rep. Johnathan Singer, D-Longmont, sponsored the bill that placed a 25 percent tax on retail marijuana sales in Colorado. Singer — who was hilarious during marijuana com-mittee hearings last year, with his punchy pot quips — is fully aware of the novelty of the Bud Bowl. “I fi nally understand how dumb it sounded when I was using all these bad puns,” Singer said.

But I’m curious whether lawmakers will be making any marijuana-themed bets on the game. You see it all the time during big games — politicians betting what their state is famous for against what the other politi-cian’s state is famous for.

House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Den-ver, said he won’t be making any pot bets with his Washington equivalent.

“I have no desire to get it here or try any from Washington,” he said.

I recently spoke with Republican Con-gressman Mike Coffman. The former state House and Senate member said he won’t be making any marijuana bets either.

“I’m sure that there’s going to be some elected offi cial somewhere that’s going to be trading brownies, or something like that, that are laced with marijuana,” Coffman said. “But I’m not going to be one of them.”

Singer said he’s planning on making a Su-per Bowl beer bet with a Washington state representative. Singer’s going to put up a se-lection of beers from the fi ne Lyons-based Oskar Blues brewery.

Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a former state Senator, recently won a beer bet with a San Diego-based House member following the Broncos’ win over the Chargers.

But Perlmutter told me that he won’t be betting marijuana. Instead, he’ll be talking smack on behalf of the Broncos this week and will probably bet another case of beer with a Washington politico before the big game.

Come on guys. Beer? Really? Get with the program! Beer is yesterday’s news, here. Colorado’s and Washington’s marijuana legal-izations are all over the national news. How could you not bet weed for the big game?

“For one thing, our taxes are better,” Sing-er said. “The same amount equivalent-wise is not going to be cost equivalent.”

That has to be the coolest and most ce-rebral argument against making Super Bowl marijuana bets with the state of Washington — because ours is better and cheaper.

“Also, just as a (Public Service Announce-ment), it still is federally illegal to be mailing this stuff,” Singer said. “I know there’s going to be a lot of PSA’s that we’re going to have to do in New York to remind the fans in Washington and Colorado that you can’t take it with you.”

So forget about any marijuana betting during the Bud Bowl, folks. More importantly — Go Broncos!

School leader says parents can help ease testing madness

Parents are the key to reducing the overwhelming amount of standardized in-school testing, said Doug-las County School District Systems Performance Offi cer Syna Morgan. In 2013, the voice of parents prompted suspensions and reductions of such tests in Califor-nia and Texas, and they could do the same in Douglas County, she said.

Morgan has led four January meetings at DCSD’s Castle Rock administration building to inform parents about the evolution and prevalence of testing, hear their concerns and talk about the district’s own efforts.

Many of the parents who attended Morgan’s meet-ings have opted their students out of standardized test-ing. Some worry the tests — many of which are tied to funds — force teachers to focus more of their attention on higher test scores than quality instruction.

Morgan has called the quantity of tests “madness,” but said, “I don’t have the luxury of enacting the rules based on my own philosophy.”

Instead, the systems performance offi cer is estab-lishing a DCSD parent assessment advisory committee. Members will meet quarterly to discuss assessment-re-lated topics and strategize ways to address issues.

Parent pressure can make a difference.In May 2013, the Texas Legislature passed a bill that

cuts the number of standardized tests for high school students from 15 — the nation’s highest total — to fi ve. In October 2013, California’s governor signed a bill sus-pending its traditional standardized tests — which many considered outdated — in favor of new assessments that ideally will measure deeper-level learning.

Parents interested in joining Morgan’s committee can email her at [email protected].

A fi nal DCSD-sponsored community meeting about assessments is set for 6 p.m. Jan. 31 at Parker’s Sagewood Middle School, located at 4725 Fox Sparrow Rd.

School board to push for reduction in standardized tests District leaders say excessive testing limits time for quality instruction By Jane Reuter [email protected]

To applause from a standing-room-only crowd, the Douglas County School Board adopted a resolution Jan. 21 to push for a dramatic reduction in standardized tests.

District leaders said they are working with other Colo-rado school districts on legislation to free students from an excess of required state and federal testing, and to instead let districts use more individualized methods of measur-ing student performance. The proposed legislation also would allow parents to opt their children out of such tests without penalty to the student, teacher, school or district.

Many of the community members at the meeting were there to protest recent district issues — and several later delivered harsh critiques during public comment — but the resolution garnered apparently unanimous support.

The board’s resolution refl ects a growing sentiment na-tionwide about the rise of standardized tests, triggered by the goal of improving the academic performance of Amer-ican students.

DCSD leaders say that at one level or another, students are taking tests nearly every school day, most of which are mandated by state law.

The assessments also are tied to teacher pay. In Colora-do, recent legislation links 50 percent of a teacher’s evalu-ation to student performance.

DCSD Systems Performance Offi cer Syna Morgan, whose offi ce facilitates the administration of national, state, and district assessments, said most of the stan-dardized assessments focus on what she calls “lower-end thinking levels.” The amount of time and resources re-quired to take the mandated tests infringes on teachers’ ability to offer deeper, more meaningful instruction.

“I’m not saying we would throw out every standardized assessment. It’s important to have comparability,” Morgan told the board. “But right now, we have an overbalance. We’re not able to do the work on the higher end of think-ing and skills.”

Linking the tests to pay puts another layer of pressure on teachers.

“The intent is we do no harm to students and teachers in the rollout of this primary evaluation process,” Morgan said. “The more we have school-wide assessments that are meaningful to schools, and part of the balanced assess-ment that corrects the imbalance, the better it is for teach-ers.”

Technology also is over-taxed, Morgan said, adding that computers used for testing aren’t available for in-structional purposes.

Students also know which tests merit the most atten-tion. Most focus more intently on the ACT, which assistant superintendent of secondary education Dan McMinimee called “the gateway to get into the college of their choice,” than the TCAP (Transitional Colorado Assessment Pro-gram).

“When they know the test means something, they per-form,” he said. “I’m not saying they’re throwing the test. But to scale back the number of times they’re assessed and make the times they are assessed mean more would be very benefi cial to our students.”

As it did in the DCSD boardroom, Superintendent Eliz-abeth Fagen said the testing issue is uniting school offi -cials statewide.

“This is one topic that no matter if you’re in the most rural district, or right here in Denver, everybody is in agreement the amount of assessments to our students has exceeded anything that’s logical,” she said.

School district debates appeal in campaign act ruling Parents discourage further action during public comment session By Jane Reuter [email protected]

Contrary to a late-December news release, Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen said the board hasn’t decided if it will appeal a recent court ruling against the district. Critics of the Douglas County School District who spoke during the Jan. 21 board meeting are hoping it lets the ruling stand.

An administrative law judge ruled Dec. 24 that the school district violated the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act and attempted to influence the out-come of the November school board election. In a Dec. 27 email statement at-tributed to Larsen, he said DCSD would “immediately appeal” the claim.

Larsen said Jan. 22 an appeal isn’t cer-tain.

“We’re having that deep discussion about what the right course is,” he said. “We’re looking at all the merits of which-ever way we go. I don’t know what the fi-nal outcome will be.”

DCSD so far has paid more than $41,000 to the law firm representing it in the case.

Unsuccessful school board candidate Julie Keim, who filed the claim against the district in October 2013, has ac-cumulated about $25,000 in legal fees. Community members have donated about $13,500 to Keim’s legal fund.

The judge agreed with Keim that a dis-trict-financed paper emailed to 85,000 parents and community members as an independent review was designed to support the district’s preferred candi-

dates. Those four candidates narrowly won seats on the board.

Keim was among several community members who lashed out at the board during the public comment section of the Jan. 21 meeting.

Throughout the 30 minutes of mostly negative comment, board members and other district leaders at whom the criti-cisms were directed stayed silent.

Keim said the Dec. 27 news release about its planned appeal was an effort to spin the judge’s ruling.

“It is time for the DCSD board of ed-

ucation and leadership to admit their wrongdoings, take the appropriate ac-tion for employees who have broken the law, and stop wasting public funds ap-pealing a decision of guilt that was clear-ly established,” Keim said. “You have broken the law. All of you have. You need to accept that and you need to move on.”

“So far DCSD has already diverted $41,383 away from students … to pay for this lawsuit,” parent Anne Marie Lemieux said. “We request this lawsuit not be ap-pealed. Rather, those who broke the law must be accountable for their illegal ac-

tions.”Others agreed.“I am asking for the termination of

district personnel involved,” said Cindy Barnard, a plaintiff in the 2011 voucher case against DCSD. “You have let other employees go for less.”

The December news release also said the district would ask in its appeal that its legal fees be covered. That angered parent Cristin Patterson.

“You, rather than take action against those who specifically broke the law, in-tend to attack Julie Keim with an appeal seeking damages to cover court costs,” she said. “I am completely astounded by your arrogance in attempting to down-play the violation and your refusal to ad-mit wrongdoing.”

The judge did not penalize DCSD be-cause Keim did not ask for a fine or other punishment.

Others who spoke during public com-ment criticized a Jan. 17 staff presenta-tion. DCSD paid education author Marc Prensky $12,000 and covered expenses for a two-day engagement. Prensky ad-vocates for using technology in educa-tion, and many teachers said his ideas were extreme.

“I am here to say we have had enough,” said teacher Julie McLean. “Enough of wasted time on days like ( Jan. 17), wast-ed money on things that don’t matter. We are tired of things that don’t improve our schools and help us become better teachers.”

Larsen did not offer direct responses to any of the comments the day after the meeting, but reiterated his desire to im-prove communications.

“There was temptation to refute many of the comments that went on, but I didn’t want this to devolve into a back and forth,” he said. “I’m glad we didn’t exacerbate it. At the same time, I don’t know if it’ll go away.”

Castle Rock heifer in bad mood comes in last at stock show By Virginia Grantier [email protected]

She was about 1 ½ years old and very pregnant, and not feeling so well, this day.

But the cow show must go on, her big mo-ment, a championship cow class at the Na-tional Western Stock Show Jan. 20. Even so, Lacy, a white-colored shorthorn, showed her displeasure.

Moo-dy.“She’s in a really bad mood today,” said

Rachelle Quinn, 16, owner of Lacy, who was busy throwing her big head around and bel-lowing.

Lacy did not seem to take the time to ap-preciate being out of her Douglas County pasture nor being “hoteled” on straw beds in the stock show’s Beef Palace along with other top cattle in the country — competitors from Texas, Iowa and so on.

Quinn, who has known Lacy since she was a baby calf, knows her moods and still loves her, though. Lacy on her better affectionate days will lick Quinn in the face.

Quinn once had horses, but liked being lower.

“I’m afraid of heights,” she said.She likes being grounded with her about

1,400-pound cows, which are also, on most days, gentler than horses, she said. Quinn said she wants to be a cattle-genetics expert someday, and maybe a veterinarian.

This day, bad mood developing on both sides, Quinn still managed to shampoo Lacy and blow-dry her. But she decided not to

even try to clip Lacy’s coat for the upcoming championship shorthorn late-spring year-ling heifer class.

When Lacy is testy, “she can kick and even try to stomp someone,” said Quinn’s dad, Craig Quinn, a horseshoer, and co-owner of Quinn Ranch in the Castle Rock area.

His daughter, a Douglas County High School sophomore, didn’t need the pain. Af-ter all, she already has had to have major sur-gery on her nose and miss school because of a steer she owns that liked to purposely butt her in the head.

So Rachelle Quinn gave Lacy space. But to make Lacy presentable, she still managed to do a little combing and with a special aerosol spray — a product called tail adhesive — gave her a proper cow-tail-do. Some of the cow’s coat needs to stick straight-up, Mohawk style, in places.

Other necessary improvements: Lacy was changed out of her everyday halter and into her $50 leather cow-show halter. Quinn’s re-quired dress: a button-down show shirt — and clean pants, in this place where the fl oor is a muck minefi eld.

So on Quinn led a reluctant Lacy around the show ring, but that adage that “attitude is everything” seemed to apply this day.

Lacy, out of 11 competitors, came in last.“She was being a brat (in the show ring),”

Rachelle said later.Lacy reportedly refused to put her hooves

in the proper position to be viewed by the judge, and continued to toss her beautiful bovine head around like it was all about her.

But all was not lost.Roxy, another Quinn heifer and a pasture

mate of Lacy’s, won the championship in an-other class. She reportedly had more fl ash, a prettier clipped coat, among other things — and perhaps was a bit more polite.

Lacy, pregnant and in a bad mood, waits for her class to start.

ABOVE: Lacy (left) and Rachelle Quinn, and 10 other competitors, lined up waiting for the judge. Lacy, in her bad mood, wouldn’t stand in the proper position or keep her head still. No blue ribbon on this day.

RIGHT: Rachelle Quinn (right) and her fan group, high school friends (left to right) Destry Banister, 16, Travis Booth, 17, and Sierra Sanburg, 16, have some down time before the next cow class. Waiting outside the show ring, Lacy appears to be listening intently to her owner’s directions -- or she’s preparing to moo her complaints, again. Probably the latter. PHOTOS BY VIRGINIA GRANTIER

Bill on school-safety hotline advancesLegislation would put state in charge of programBy Vic [email protected]

A chilling irony occurred during a Jan. 23 legislative committee hearing on a school-safety hotline bill.

At the same time that lawmakers were hearing testimony, Jefferson County Pub-lic Schools was sending out alerts that a lockout involving some of its schools had been lifted following reports that police were investigating a threat at Columbine High School.

Tom Mauser — whose son Daniel was killed during the 1999 Columbine mas-sacre — was listening to the testimony from inside a Senate Education Commit-tee hearing room, when he received the alerts on his phone.

“It just goes to show that we have to continue with our vigilance,” Mauser told committee members.

Nothing came of the threats the day of the committee hearing. But what hap-pened at Columbine High School 15 years ago is exactly what the Safe2Tell Hotline was intended to prevent.

Since 1999, the hotline has operated as an anonymous way for students to no-tify law enforcement of potential campus threats.

But the nonprofit-backed hotline is at risk of shutting down due to a lack of funding. Because of that, lawmakers want the state take over operations for a program that they believe has been suc-cessful in thwarting several school trag-edies.

“Rarely in government do we get an opportunity to adopt something that’s

working,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs.

Cadman and Senate President Mor-gan Carroll, D-Aurora, are co-sponsors of Senate Bill 2, which would transfer op-erations of the hotline to the Department of Law.

The bill also sets aside $250,000 in ho-tline operational costs.

Students can notify authorities via phone or email of any sort of campus threats they hear about, including shoot-ing plots and incidents of bullying.

Supporters of the legislation point to Safe2Tell statistics, which indicate that from September 2004 through December 2013, the hotline resulted in more than 9,000 tips from students across Colorado.

Gov. John Hickenlooper said during a pre-session press conference where he touted the legislation that the hotline received reports of 16 planned attacks since the beginning of the current school year.

Thornton Police Chief Randy Nelson testified that the hotline is great tool that gives law enforcement the ability to pre-vent tragedies, rather than respond to them.

In turn, that gives students better peace of mind, he said.

“We know very clearly that if those kids don’t feel safe in the school, they’re not going to learn,” said Nelson.

The bill passed the Senate Education Committee with unanimous support and now heads to the Finance Committee for further consideration. It is expected to sail through both legislative chambers with bipartisan support.

“This program is too valuable for us not to do this,” said Senate Education Committee Chairman Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood.

Wage-theft bill clears committeeAct aims to help workers who are owed moneyBy Vic [email protected]

A bill that would create a govern-mental process that deals with work-ers’ claims of wage theft cleared its first legislative hurdle on Jan. 22, a year after similar legislation failed.

The issue can affect those who work in contract labor positions and industry service employees, such as restaurant wait staff, according to testimony heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The Wage Protection Act aims to protect those workers who feel they are being shortchanged in wages. Un-der the bill, workers can file claims of missed wages through a Department of Labor administrative process.

Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, told the Senate Judiciary Commit-tee that the bill gives workers more re-sources by which they are able to claim unpaid wages.

“When folks work a long hard day and expect to be paid, they should be paid,” Ulibarri said.

Ulibarri told the committee that the

Department of Labor receives thou-sands of calls from workers each year who claim their employers owe them money.

“The resolution most people get is to call an attorney, go through small claims court, or figure it out on your own,” he said. “Most folks are intimidated by that process.”

Under the bill, the new administra-tive process calls for the Department of Labor to investigate wage claim thefts of up to $7,500. If the department de-termines that a wage violation has oc-curred, the employer has 14 days to re-spond to the decision, or else face fines.

The bill also allows for an appeal process for employers who are deemed to be in violation through the adminis-trative process.

Last year’s version of the bill in-cluded criminal penalties on employers who were found to have been involved in wage violations. Business came on board with this year’s attempt after the criminalization aspect was removed from the legislation.

The bill received mixed testimony.Chuck Saxton of the Bennett-based

Saxton Construction, a supporter of the legislation, said he has heard stories from workers who claim that other em-

ployers cheated them out of paychecks.“Our laws are supposed to be a re-

flection of our morality,” he said, speak-ing in favor of the bill.

However, the Colorado Restaurant Association has come out against the bill. Nick Hoover, a spokesman for the organization, said that most complaints that workers file regarding alleged wage theft are the result of “simple confusion over payroll procedures.”

Hoover also said that the proposed administrative process would lead to “punitive costs” for employers on mat-ters that can typically be handled in-house.

“I haven’t spoken to a restaurant that hasn’t been able to handle this in a face-to-face conversation,” Hoover said.

Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, said the legislation is unnecessary and that the current grievance process works without government interven-tion.

“I do not believe that the benefit of this legislation outweighs the cost,” he said.

The bill passed the Democrat-con-trolled committee following a 3-2 party line vote. It now heads to the Senate Fi-nance Committee, before it receives a full vote in the Senate.

Transportation tax won’t make ballotRecent polls show voters aren’t ready to approve sales taxBy Jane [email protected]

A proposed statewide transportation tax won’t appear on the November bal-lot this year after a recent poll showed voters are unlikely to approve it.

That doesn’t mean the tax is shelved permanently or that the MPACT 64 group created to study statewide transit solutions will stop its work.

“These issues are not going away,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, chairman of MPACT 64, a collaboration of the Metro Mayors Caucus, Action 22, Club 20 and Progressive 15 that repre-sent all 64 Colorado counties

Members of MPACT 64 hoped to put a 0.7 percent sales tax on the ballot this fall. Money raised through the tax would help fill a $772 million funding gap in

the Colorado Department of Transpor-tation’s annual budget. Locally, money would have helped fund the expansion of C-470 and the southeast light rail ex-tension from Lincoln Avenue to Ridge-Gate Parkway. In other parts of the state, it was targeted for the northwest light rail line from Denver to Longmont.

State leaders spent 18 months pondering ways to bridge that fund-ing shortfall, and while initial surveys showed a sales tax had the best chance of gaining support, a December poll said the timing isn’t right.

Respondents “didn’t see the pro-posed tax as onerous, but they don’t feel this is a good time to raise taxes in Colo-rado,” Gunning said. “In spite of the fact they’re unwilling to back it right now, they strongly endorsed transportation as a part of keeping Colorado’s econo-my strong.”

That endorsement and other poll re-sults suggest that someday, a transpor-tation tax might pass. Colorado today relies on fuel taxes and license fees for

construction and maintenance of its transportation infrastructure. The fuel tax hasn’t increased since 1991.

Meanwhile, both the state’s popula-tion and the annual vehicle travel miles have jumped more than 50 percent.

Poll respondents support MPACT 64’s contention that transportation funds should be distributed to both ur-ban and rural areas of the state, and be used to expand public transit options and safety.

“They were also very supportive of local influence over project selection,” Gunning said. “Again, we were very happy about that. That was one of the premises that we spent a lot of time working on with CDOT.”

MPACT 64 members will meet again in March to further analyze December’s poll results and plan for the future.

“We made a big step forward just by bringing together a statewide coalition,” Gunning said. “In my view, the next step is to talk about how we engage the vot-ers in this discussion now.”

Colorado food stamp assistance risesNumbers higher today than during recessionBy Adrian D. GarciaI-News at Rocky Mountain PBS

More Coloradans are receiving food assistance today than during the worst months of the Great Recession.

Since 2007, the number of people re-ceiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program — for-merly known as food stamps — has more than doubled.

An average of 508,200 residents quali-fied for SNAP dollars each month during 2013, according to the Colorado Depart-ment of Human Services.

This year the state predicts that an ad-ditional 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 re-duced when the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’s temporary boost ended,” said Michelle Ray, spokes-

woman 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” said Vic Ocana, executive director of Compas-sion Food Banks. 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, ar-gue 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 sys-tem ruins it for everyone else,” said

Andrea Fuller, executive director of the monthly newspaper Denver VOICE, of al-legations 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 re-lied 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 pro-gram.

“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 ad-dressed, McGinn said.

In July, the state will implement new software that should improve communi-cation.

“The program has never had a 100 percent increase in participants in such a short amount of time,” she said. “Colo-rado’s participation rate is still low com-pared 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,” Mc-Ginn said. “We’re just seeing the stabili-zation of the program.”

‘Board Unplugged’ meetings to resumePublic comment debated but will continue freelyBy Jane [email protected]

The Douglas County Board of Education will return to hosting the community meet-ings it once did, in lieu of hosting one of its regular twice-monthly sessions in the ad-ministration building’s boardroom.

The “Board Unplugged,” meetings are planned for March, April and May, though dates, times and venues have not yet been set. They will substitute for the regular meet-ing that otherwise would be held on the first Tuesday of those months.

The regular board meetings still will be conducted in the Castle Rock administration building on the first and third Tuesdays in February and the third Tuesdays of the fol-lowing three months.

“We’d like to get three of those accom-plished before the end of the school year,” Larsen said. “This is really meant to be more of a dialogue, a discussion so we can actually hear from people and share answers back in a productive way.”

Board member Craig Richardson said he hopes the “unplugged” meetings will have a much more informal feel than the regular sessions, and he envisions setting up a circle

of chairs for conversational purposes.“I for one don’t think the architecture of

this room is particularly conducive to a con-versation,” he said of the boardroom. “We’re here behind this barrier. The speaker is be-hind a podium. I think it in many ways dehu-manizes a conversation.”

The more casual meetings could allow, he said, “for the first time since I’ve been on the board an opportunity for a genuine, produc-tive conversation among people.”

Public comment also will continue at regular board meetings, though Larsen origi-nally proposed limiting comments there on Jan. 21 to items on the agenda in an effort to “keep our meetings relevant.”

Board member Meghann Silverthorn said she didn’t support any such limitation.

“I understand the intent behind trying to do that,” she said. “But I know that since I’ve been on the board, I’ve seen a number of individuals come to the microphone about things that are concerning to them that have nothing to do with anything on the agenda. I’m concerned about restricting that oppor-tunity for them.”

After some discussion, board members agreed to continue general public comments during regular meetings, as well as during the “Board Unplugged” sessions. They will revisit the issue at the end of the school year.

Board meetings also are live streamed at www.livestream.com/dcsdk12.

School district debuts new websiteRevamp aims for easier navigation, reliability, efficiencyBy Jane [email protected]

The Douglas County School District recently debut its redesigned website, a $225,000 investment district leaders said is more reliable, easier to navigate and allows for quicker updates. It also is intended to serve as the best place to find facts during a crisis.

“The primary source of information dur-ing an emergency should be our website,” DCSD spokesman Randy Barber said.

The new site got its first surge of visitors a day after its debut, when a few inches of snow drew parents and students checking for possible schedule changes.

“One of the most important things our website is used for is sharing of information like school closures and delays,” Barber said. “We revamped that entire tool. We were very happy to have it in front of folks (that day).”

The nine-month project was triggered in part by complaints about the now defunct site.

“What we heard loud and clear was that on the old website, people had trouble find-ing important things,” Barber said. “We

wanted to make sure we had a website that was easy to navigate.

“Coming from a school district that’s all about innovation and excellence, we wanted a website that matched that.”

Denver-based Educational Measures LLC, which also created DCSD’s mobile app, contracted with the district to redesign the website.

Barber believes the $225,000 is money well spent.

“We take every expenditure here at the Douglas County School District very serious-ly,” he said. “Looking at the project in total, I think the benefits outweigh the cost.

“This website really provides us with an ability the old one didn’t. In the event of an emergency, we can put up a page within minutes. We don’t have to have a web de-veloper do that for us. That’s a really great change for us.”

Additionally, Barber said the previous website would have required updating at further cost.

The website last was updated in 2011. Given the rapid pace of technology, Barber said he couldn’t say how soon another major change will be required.

But he said, “When we invest in our dis-trict, we want those investments to last as long as possible. Our intention is to make it last for a long time.”

opinions / yours and ours

Music can change one’s lifeI am completely out of it when it

comes to the music that most people listen to.

Nina Simone never shook her rear end on stage. Bob Dylan doesn’t change cos-tumes between songs. I don’t listen to any-one who has backup dancers. The music I listen to doesn’t come with choreogra-phy. A symphony orchestra doesn’t have backup singers or dancers or any of that nonsense.

Keep your raunchy, topless, motorcycle video away from me.

“Mr. Smith, aren’t you being a little harsh? My daughter listens to hip-hop. At least she is listening to music. You have to start somewhere. Maybe someday she will get her head screwed on straight, and find out about Django Reinhart.”

Django Reinhardt didn’t stick out his tongue.

But here’s one: Josephine Baker twerked. Did she ever. And she is still one (or two) up on Miley Cyrus.

I have said this before: I don’t dance and I don’t watch dancers. This puts me in a low percentile. The population is low in the lower percentile, and it’s my favorite address.

Jennifer and I went to a CU football game, and we were bombarded with bad music from the instant we entered the stadium until we left with a hearing loss in the third quarter. Some people, like restaurant owners, think that loud music connotes a good time. I think it connotes a headache.

If you are raised on something, that is what you know and expect. I wonder what it would be like to be a teenager who lis-tens to Katy Perry, and then hears Billie Holiday for the first time.

Dr. Dre or Nat King Cole? Beyoncé or Ella Fitzgerald? One Direction or Arcade Fire? Eminem (featuring Rhianna) or Cho-pin (featuring Chopin)? Lady Gaga or Lady Day?

Those are easy for me to answer.Fifty years ago, on Feb. 9, 1964, music

— someone’s music — changed my life. It was just a couple of months after the Kennedy assassination, and like everyone else, I needed something to change the way that I was feeling.

An odd looking and odd sounding man introduced a band from England. He in-sisted upon calling them “lads.”

“The broadcast drew an estimated 73 million viewers, at the time a record for US television, and was characterized by an audience composed largely of scream-

ing, hysterical girls in tears.”Their first song was “All My Loving.”I didn’t know this until recently: “The

act that followed their first set in the broadcast was pre-recorded, rather than have someone perform live on stage amidst the pandemonium that occurred after the group performed their songs.”

Someone was thinking.It would have been crazy if ventrilo-

quist Señor Wences had come out live with Johnny, the face he drew on his hand. Crazy but wonderful.

Juvenile jealousies caused me to resist the band at first, because it was all the girls in my high school talked about.

But after a few months, and now after 50 years, I realize that their music is as im-portant as anything I have ever heard “In My Life.”

The mystery of personal and professional growth

The mystery of personal and profes-sional growth

I really do enjoy a good mystery. It could be a great novel or movie or just watching the variety of news programs or shows where we get to explore along with the journalists and public intrigued by mystery and the possibilities of observ-ing a Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, a giant squid, ghosts, extra-terrestrials, or some other type of enigmatic predator or anomalous event.

Mysteries just seem to capture my at-tention. And one of the greatest mysteries I encounter on an all too frequent basis is this: why is it that when people who are looking to make a change for the better continue doing the same things over and over again and expect different results. As we all know, this is one definition of in-sanity.

Whether we are just embarking on the pursuit of a worthy goal or objective in our lives, or we have gotten to a place where we have plateaued and feel stuck, we need to recognize that we can still reach higher, see farther, and elevate our performance at almost everything we are striving for in our lives or wish to accom-plish.

For some, it’s just being in their com-fort zone and becoming so settled that complacency has usurped desire. And this is where we get caught up in the trap

of doing the very same things that we have always done. And maybe even worse, we have begun taking short cuts because we are just too settled and comfortable with where we are right now. Did you catch that line earlier in the paragraph, “… complacency has usurped desire?” Is that your situation?

Life is so full of mysteries and the world is full of unexplainable phenom-ena that pique our curiosity and leave us wanting to know more. And as we indulge in the exploration of the mysterious our imagination becomes accelerated and our creativity inspired. What if we put that same energy into uncovering or dis-covering what it is that drives us to want to succeed in every area of our lives?

If there is an area of our life where we have a deep desire to change, one new technique to attempt can be found in

Keep the guns out of government chambersIn its haste to promote an expansion

of the Second Amendment, the Castle Rock Town Council seems to have missed the point of the First. I don’t look to the town council members to tell me what art means, then protect me from it. I don’t look to the town council for spiritual guid-ance (“in God we trust”). But I do look to them to provide a safe, non-threatening place for people to discuss issues of the day, or to enjoy local parks.

Since the shooting at Sandy Hook in Newtown, at least according to reports in the media, over 11,000 people have been killed by guns in the United States, includ-ing homicide, suicide and accidental death. The estimated REAL number (ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is three times that: over

33,000.There were 31,672 total gun deaths in

2010 (the latest year for which there are CDC records). Of those, 2,694 were chil-dren or teens.

There have been 28 school shootings since Newtown. It’s worth noting that two school shootings — the now older incident at Columbine High School and the more recent murder and suicide at Arapahoe High School — happened within 25 miles of Castle Rock’s town hall.

There are currently 310,000,000 guns in the U.S. — about one gun for every Ameri-can. There are no countries with more guns per person.

There are three and a half times as many licensed firearms dealers in the US

forcing ourselves to try something new. Change the routine, the diet, and maybe even make some changes relative to the types of people we surround ourselves with. I recently saw this quote floating around Facebook, “Surround yourself with people that make you a better person.”

You see, the mysterious isn’t really all that mysterious when it comes to personal and professional growth. And yes I know, personal development isn’t nearly as excit-ing or spectacular as finding Bigfoot, catch-ing a glimpse of the Loch Ness Monster, or

figuring out teenagers, but it could be. And it is in those moments of wanting to grow that we can and should try something new. Something new and mysterious that will add excitement, energy, and desire to the pursuit of our goals and dreams.

How about you, are you stuck, pla-teaued, or maybe haven’t even started on your goal or dream?

I would love to hear all about it at [email protected] and when you begin to view your goals with a little bit of mystery and wonder, it will be a better than good week.

than there are grocery stores (134,997 to 37,053).

In Douglas County alone, over half the suicides are gun related. I know of at least one case, right here in Castle Rock, where a father shot to death his wife and three small children.

In such an environment, it is more than politically tone-deaf, it is utterly irresponsible to encourage even greater visibility and availability of weaponry in the chambers of government and in our parks. It solves not one single problem the town has ever had, and will surely create new, and deadly ones.

James LaRueCastle Rock

‘Our View’ not my viewLast week’s editorial, “Time for major

immigration reform,” suggests that those who have come here illegally deserve amnesty via the S. 744 bill. And Amnesty is what the Gang of Eight and bill S.744 is re-ally all about. No one should be deceived about what “comprehensive immigration reform” means, other than giving amnesty to an estimated 12 million illegal aliens.

How is it that the United States govern-ment should serve as the world’s largest employment agency providing “needed” workers to businesses that no longer feel the need to fairly compensate American workers? Why is it OK to create a perma-nent underclass of low-skilled workers at low wages who ultimately require addi-tional public assistance to get by?

And why should anyone believe that immigration laws will be enforced and our borders be secured? S. 744 is exactly the same “comprehensive immigration reform” package the American public was sold in 1986. Now 27 years later, the Gang

of Eight is pushing to legalize at least four times the number of people who received amnesty under the 1986 bill. Adding tens of millions of low-skilled and heav-ily government-dependent immigrants to the country increases competition for scarce jobs, reduces wages, and increases the burden of welfare. Our immigration system isn’t “broken.” America is a land of laws, and anyone who wants to become a citizen is welcome to do so. But do it through legal means.

Ken HurdParker

Stop the mass surveillance of AmericansThis is propaganda at it’s worst to

insist that the violation of the 4th Amend-ment is anything but an abuse of power. It does nothing to make the citizenry of our country safer, rather, it insures further spying and less freedoms for people. Soon it will be turned against those who may have a different opinion than is popular with those in power, and can be twisted in any number of ways to effectively control the populace. This needs to stop NOW. Obama just kicked the can to the Congress, which can’t agree on anything except a free lunch for themselves.

Thank you Jamie LaRueI’d like to thank Jamie LaRue for his

leadership of Douglas County Libraries.When I moved to Highlands Ranch 16

years ago, the library was crowded into a space in a little strip mall. Within a few years, it moved into the beautiful new building at the Town Center.

As my children have grown (now ages 13 and 11), I have treasured the resource in my backyard. From baby story time to downloading electronic books on an iPhone, my kids have benefited from the library’s vast resources. In addition to the books and resources, the staff at the library is consistently friendly and knowl-edgeable about anything you ask of them.

Growing up, the library was always special to me. I’m thrilled that it is avail-able to my kids, as well. While LaRue has embraced and invented systems regard-ing technology, he’s kept a foundation of wonderful books filled with real pages we

can touch, as well as a welcoming place to visit.

I’m incredibly thankful that he was there to lead the library to be the incred-ible community resource that it is today. I wish Mr. LaRue the best in his next chap-ter and I implore him to train his succes-sors well so that we do not ever lose this community treasure.

Sincerely,Amanda J ChaneyHighlands Ranch

Unity feels good: United in OrangeWe are going to be happy together or

disappointed together but either way we are united.

From the star on Castle Rock with the Bronco colors to the orange jerseys — a lot of 18’s — to the plates and cupcakes at my small group from church last night, we are excited that the home team is in the Super Bowl after a fantastic record-setting year.

Unity feels good. The excitement is contagious. It is possible to meet a com-plete stranger and strike up a conversa-tion like old friends because there is a pas-sionate common interest.

I travelled to Tampa Bay for the funer-al of one of my lifelong best friends. My plane arrived in Tampa shortly after the kickoff of the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

What if my host who is picking me up at the airport does not like football or care about the Broncos? They might stop by Wal-Mart on the way or after we arrived want to watch the Kardashians or some ridiculous show like that and I’d miss the game.

I was experiencing the worst case of “Fear of Missing Football.” I had a case of “Fear of Missing the Broncos Make it to the Super Bowl.” Thankfully it was con-

venient for them to pick me up after the game at 6:30 p.m. EST. I found a nice res-taurant with the game on TV and quickly made eight new friends. We were united with at least two common denominators. We liked football and were rooting for the Broncos so it was easy to talk, laugh and have fun together.

This type of unity feels especially good in a world that is fractured into countless differences and controversies.

Debate and the freedom of expression is priceless, but do we have to prove our point every day?

Families, lifestyles, politics, business strategies, economies and plans of medi-cal treatment have so many options with-in them and strong personalities arguing their opinions that there is little chance of agreement or experiencing the pleasure

and potential of unity.Our 24-hour news cycles on TV and Ra-

dio feed an insatiable appetite for contro-versy.

When a sports player “mouths-off” and causes more controversy the microphones are drawn to the emotion like bugs are to a light.

I wish I could direct us to the church as a place where we could find peace and unity. The message is there. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will inherit the earth.” “How good and pleasing it is when brothers dwell together in unity.” In the earliest days after the time of Christ the church was united. They had everything in common and the world was changed because of how they loved each other.

We can’t play football all year long and only one team can be at the top at the end of the season, so we have to look to an-other source for lasting unity and peace. Since the message is in the Scriptures and there was a time when it worked, I believe the faith community is our greatest hope for meaningful unity.

And I realize that, as an individual within the faith community, I need to take responsibility to be part of the solution, not the problem. The older I get the more I

recognize how many times, in my own in-security, I was competitive to people with-in the faith community. Instead of reach-ing a united solution I saw further division that produced emotional pain, broken re-lationships and a terrible picture of what faith was all about or could produce.

At my friend’s memorial service I ex-perienced another dose of the wonder-ful feeling that comes through unity. The friend who died was one of three of my lifelong best friends. We gathered for a reunion that was emotionally rich and full. We laughed and cried and in it all we recognized the immeasurable worth of friendship that remained strong for over four decades.

The good feeling of unity is one small benefit of unity. I’m going to take respon-sibility, work and pray that we experience a Godly unity that extends far beyond the scope and duration of the Super Bowl.

Victim told thieves frequent ‘Meadows’ exit � ieves get o� exit, break-in to cars, use cards in Monument, then head home to ‘Springs’ By Virginia Grantier [email protected]

A Castle Rock woman whose parked car — near Interstate 25’s Meadows Parkway exit — was broken into and had items stolen from it, said police told her that that particular crime wasn’t uncom-mon in that area.

Wendy Nelson, 41, said she was told it wasn’t uncommon for people to come up from Colorado Springs, get off at that exit, Exit 184, break into cars in parked near the outlet mall, “charge up a bunch of stuff in Monument,” and then contin-ue home to Colorado Springs.”

The Castle Rock Police Department told the News-Press in a written state-ment that there have been a “number

of crimes and clusters of crimes that are linked to Colorado Springs” experienced in recent years.

“This has been a fairly consistent trend over the last three or four years. Researching the data for exact numbers or even approximate numbers would be extremely labor intensive as we don’t track that specific data. It would involve hand searching hundreds of reports for each year requested,” the statement said.

As for Nelson, she said she made a bad mistake Dec. 27.

She said she was using her iPad in her car waiting for her daughters who were inside a gymnastics school when a wom-an and child she knew drove up — and she decided to go inside the school with them to chat for a while.

Nelson said she made the mistake of leaving the iPad, her purse and iPhone laying on the passenger-side seat. She locked the car doors and went into the

school at about 2:45 p.m.When she returned about 30 minutes

later, the passenger-side window was shattered on her 2008 Toyota RAV4 and the items were gone.

She called police and they arrived quickly.

She told them she was nervous about people having her driver’s license and knowing where she lived. Police told her they’d increase patrols in her neighbor-hood, but that the thieves probably just wanted her stuff, would charge what they could and throw the rest away.

Later, about 6 p.m., when she checked her bank account, transactions had al-ready been made using her debit and credit cards — a total of $306 at Monu-ment ATMs and $26 at a convenience store. About as much as her daily limit allowed.

She said she has made some changes in her life — including she doesn’t leave anything in the car anymore. Among

other changes, finding out how difficult it was to get her life back in order with-out a phone or credit card, she now has a landline in her home and got a second credit card to put in her safe in case she loses her primary credit card.

She said her bank, Wells Fargo, was great, reimbursing her quickly for the money lost and over-nighting a replace-ment card. But she had deductibles on her car and homeowner’s insurance so had to pay out-of- pocket for the new car window and items lost.

“It was an expensive mistake,” she said.

When one of her daughters asked if a “bad guy” had done this, she related that she told her she didn’t know, that it could have been “someone’s mommy who lost her job and didn’t know how she was go-ing to feed her kids… or it could have been a dumb teenager.”

“I don’t want them to live in fear,” she said. “We replace the stuff and move on.”

hearing, Mayor Paul Donahue, made a mo-tion to repeal the ban — and the town coun-cil voted 4-3 on first reading to approve an ordinance that repeals “in its entirety” that portion of the municipal code regarding open carry.

Of the 53 members of the public who spoke at the Jan. 21 hearing — 10 of whom were non-residents — 28 wanted the ban to remain, 24 wanted it repealed, and one was neutral. Councilmember Renee Valentine, who voted to repeal, said the overwhelming position of people who had contacted her about the issue wanted the ban repealed.

Councilmember Jennifer Green, who vot-ed to repeal, told the News-Press later that “elected officials work for the town residents in their district.

“They do not work for the town employ-ees, the town manager, the police depart-

ment, the collective boards and commis-sions or the businesses. Of the members on those boards who spoke last night, none of them is in my district.”

Green said it is her job to listen to constit-uents “and to uphold and defend the Consti-tution. My constituents told me they want government to leave them alone, repeal re-strictive laws such as the open carry ban, and let them make their own decisions rather than government doing it for them.”

The first member of the public to give comments, Carroll Hood of Castle Rock, opposed the repeal, indicating it was bogus to support the repeal based on someone’s Constitutional rights. He referred to past U.S. Supreme Court gun-rights decisions that ac-knowledged legitimacy in “laws forbidding firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings.”

But many of the people supporting the re-peal indicated the importance of not infring-ing on their Constitutional rights and how open carry can be a deterrent for criminals — and that it also gives someone the abil-ity to quickly protect themselves and people

around them if need be.“I have noticed that since I started open

carrying several years ago, people are much more polite to others when I am around,” wrote “Rob,” a former Franktown resident, in an email to Councilmember Jennifer Green.

Councilmember Clark Hammelman, who has opposed repealing the ban, expressed a couple of additional concerns including hav-ing people with firearms in town parks that are next to schools.

Before the vote, Donahue asked Stevens what would happen if the planning com-mission — which makes recommendations to the town about land-use decisions — re-signed. Stevens said applicants would be sought, but with new commissioners there would be a “huge experience gap under that scenario.” Also, if the planning commission didn’t have enough for a majority, it would negatively impact the process of develop-ment applications.

Donahue — a managing partner of the Centennial Gun Club who has stated that in his years of living in Castle Rock he’s the only one he has seen open-carrying a weapon —

brought up the idea last summer of repealing the ban, concerned about Second Amend-ment rights.

At the Jan. 21 meeting, he said he couldn’t “find any hard and fast reason to limit open carry.”

Councilmember Chip Wilson said he doesn’t believe the ban is an infringement of second-amendment rights. People who want to open-carry can, with a couple limitations.

The ban applied to just municipal build-ings such as town hall and the recreation center and some town parks.

Councilmember Joe Procopio, who voted to repeal, told the News-Press recently that he thinks rights are “being whittled away….”

He said the ban doesn’t provide protec-tion since an individual can enter town facili-ties legally with a concealed-carry permit, or illegally, if without a concealed-carry permit.

Procopio also indicated he wants people to be able to protect themselves if on town trails they run into such scenarios as a bear, cougar, rabid dog, child molester or rapist.

For the second hearing and final approv-al, the council was scheduled to meet Jan. 28.

get to these fires sooner,” Hickenlooper said.The bills deal with a variety of areas

aimed at wildfire prevention. They include giving the governor the ability to provide fi-nancial assistance without a federal disaster declaration; and allowing county govern-ments more autonomy in putting bans on agricultural burning during periods of high fire danger and to clamp down on summer fireworks.

Bills also deal with the creation of the wildfire information and resource center and a grant program that seeks to increase local firefighter safety. Another bill would al-low firefighters who are killed while combat-ting wildfires to collect death benefits.

The governor’s office also touted Hick-enlooper’s role in launching a pilot program that allows agencies across the West to work collaboratively to reduce wildfire risks. The governor is also calling on the U.S. Depart-

ment of Agriculture to provide federal dollars for tree-thinning efforts in Western forests.

But the bills that were introduced on Jan. 23 will not include key recommendations that were made by the governor’s wildfire task force, prior to the state of the legislative session.

They included recommendations that lawmakers take up measures that would impose fees on properties that reside in the Wildland Urban Interface, where homes sit in close proximity to terrain where there is a high potential for wildfires. Also, there are no pieces of legislation that would require homeowners living in those areas to create defensive spaces in front of their homes, or that would create a statewide building code, as were also recommended by Hickenloop-er’s task force.

Instead, lawmakers are proposing legis-lation that offers homeowners tax credits as a way of enticing them to take up their own mitigation efforts.

“If that doesn’t work, we will revisit any ideas that were brought forth by the task force,” said Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk.

Hickenlooper added that people living in those areas already know the risks.

“We don’t have to lean on them with a heavy shoulder,” Hickenlooper said.

It also doesn’t appear that a proposed firefighting fleet will get off the ground any time soon.

Last year, lawmakers created legislation that would go toward creating an air fleet, but it went unfunded.

Hickenlooper — concerned by the poten-tially enormous cost for the state to pay for its own firefighting fleet — said he prefers a

“shared fleet,” one where Western states chip in on the operating costs.

But Hickenlooper said that, so far, neigh-boring states have expressed concern “that the benefit doesn’t justify the cost.”

King, who has pushed hard for a firefight-ing fleet, said he believes “there is an oppor-tunity to deal with this.”

When asked whether he supports the wildfire legislation bills, King offered tepid support.

“They’re a step in the right direction,” King said.

An artist’s vision at Lone Tree Arts CenterBy Sonya [email protected]

“Painting is about having the courage to take risks toward an outcome that is unknown,” says artist Ralph Nagel.

Nagel, who began painting in 1991 while he was still a businessman — founder and owner of the Meridian Re-tirement Communities — paints in clas-sic plein air style, in locations near and far.

He has been in-vited to display his work at the Lone Tree Arts Center through March 2 as part of the Com-missioners’ Choice 2014 program and will be on hand to meet art lovers at a public reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Jan. 31.

His solo exhibit is called “Places and Things — An Art-ist’s Vision” and it will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays in

addition to before Lone Tree Arts Center performances.

Nagel’s watercolors and oils are char-acterized by powerful brushstrokes, complex, subtle palettes of color and strong contrasts in dark and light.

His onsite sketches in the American Southwest, Thailand and France have been developed into large watercolors and canvases in his Denver studio, re-

taining the spontaneity of those sketch-es.

The artist has degrees in architecture and city planning and he co-founded Studio 208, a group of Colorado art-ists who painted and exhibited together from 2004 to 2008.

From 2007 to 2011, he hosted a collab-orative teaching space in the River North Arts District, RINO.

The installation of this exhibit was designed by Lone Tree’s curator, Sally Perisho, who is recognized in the Denver arts community as a curator, writer and

photographer.Nagel was the 2012 winner of Little-

ton’s Own an Original Exhibit and held a solo show at the Littleton Museum in 2013.

His paintings have been exhibited throughout Colorado and are in collec-tions worldwide.

A philanthropist, he is responsible for Nagel Art Studios, Nagel Residence Hall and a collection of paintings by Colorado artists at the University of Denver, where he serves on the Board of Trustees.

Denver’s fit as a fiddleDenver can boast being the best

city in the U.S. for fitness in 2014, ac-cording to Yahoo Shine, which ranked “America’s 10 Best cities for Fitness.” No big shock since we’re a collection of out-doors and mountain lovers.

Here’s what Yahoo wrote:“The Mile High City is miles above

the rest when it comes to exercise. Between the incredible hiking in the nearby Rocky Mountains, skiing in Win-ter Park Resort and the more than 850 miles of paved off-road trails around the city for biking, it’s no surprise that Denver tops our best cities for fitness list. Denver also has a citywide bike-sharing program, which is even more of an incentive for residents to be active.”

‘Transit of Venus’ features female artistsSculptor Barbara Baer among 24 artists in RedLine exhibitBy Sonya [email protected]

They float, they soar, some stand on the ground — poised to move… They are created in bright colors with steel and lighter materials. Barbara Baer of Denver has provided a lively note to many public spaces — indoors and out: civic build-ings, university and college open areas, parks and outdoor commercial areas — in Colorado, across the U.S. and in Ger-many.

While most of sculptor Barbara Baer’s focus is on “designing for indoor and outdoor public spaces,” she is pleased to be included in the “Transit of Venus,” exhibit of 60 works by about 24 women artists displayed at RedLine Gallery in Denver through Feb. 23.

The exhibiting artists are all part of Front Range Women in the Visual Arts, started by a group of artists and graduate students in Boulder in 1974. When the group formed, it was difficult for women to get into shows at museums, galleries and colleges or to win commissions for public art — a situation that has changed greatly in Colorado.

Baer is at the forefront of change and has created numerous large pub-

lic sculptures, including several in the south area: “Life in Motion” sails above the entrance to the Goodson Center in Centennial; “Open Skies” is suspended over the corridor at the Littleton Center that leads to the City Council Chambers;

“Illumination” is on the grounds of Pine Grove Elementary School in Parker.

She has two large abstract pieces, dat-ed 2014, in the Red-Line show: “Scat-terbrain” of acrylic and steel, has float-ing elements of red, black and clear ma-terial in a sculpture that measures 8 feet by 9 feet by 7 feet and looks as though it might fly away. “Waterplay” measures 10 feet by 9 feet by 7 feet and features a pattern of blue waves on a clear acrylic base. It too looks like it’s moving continually.

Baer grew up in southern Louisiana and first studied in New Orleans at Tu-lane University, then moved to Colo-rado, where she received an MFA from CU Boulder —and connected with Front Range Women in Visual Arts.

“Transit of Venus” is the first RedLine show in a year devoted to art by wom-en, collectively called “She Crossed the Line.”

To follow: Chen Man: March 1 to April 27; Senga Nengudi: June 6 to July 20; Har-mony Hammond: Aug. 2 to Sept. 28 and Judy Chicago: Oct. 10 to Nov. 30.

Historic Littleton explores Masonic roots � e stories behind Western Lodge No. 22 By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

Historic Littleton Inc. tries to have its annual meeting in one of Littleton’s his-toric buildings each year so that members can become better acquainted with the various parts and pieces that make up the city’s history.

Located at a highly visible entrance to the downtown area, is Weston Lodge No. 22 at 5738 S. Rapp St. as one enters the down-town from Santa Fe drive.

On Jan. 22, HLInc members gathered in the upstairs meeting hall at the lodge to learn about the building’s history from retired engineer Robin Knox, who — with assistance from several other members — led a tour of the building, talking about what they could comfortably discuss and skipping what they could not.

When Littleton’s fi rst settlers arrived on the banks of the South Platte River to search for gold in 1858, many gold hunters were already Masons, he said.

By 1861, a Grand Lodge was established at Auraria — needed in order to grant other lodges permission to form. Colorado was still a territory at that time and by 1872, Littleton’s Weston Lodge was No. 22 in the sequence — recognized on March 1, 1872.

Meetings were held for the fi rst 49 years upstairs in the J.D. Hill General Store, which is next door to the Lodge now. (Nat-

ural Surroundings and Three Chimneys).“Close quarters as the membership

grew,” Knox commented.In 1911 the related ladies and brothers

met to start a chapter of Order of Eastern Star, Manzanita No. 85. They met above the Littleton Independent on Main Street, us-ing a piano the Masons helped to provide.

Both organizations needed more room and in July 1914 a building fund was set up to receive 25 percent of Lodge income. On Oct. 20, 1920, member I.W. Hunt donated land at the end of Main Street for a temple and building began with donated labor, materials, paint and more.

The cornerstone was laid April 23, 1921, containing various symbolic items, a list of members and a copy of the Littleton Inde-pendent. The fi rst Lodge meeting was Aug. 21, 1921.

It was the sturdy brick building we see today with two white pillars and Masonic symbols on the facade. Members still care for it lovingly and it houses regular meet-ings of Masons, Eastern Star, Demolays, Rainbow Girls and Jobs Daughters.

Everything in the upper meeting room has symbolic meaning, much of it not open for discussion, but Knox pointed out a photo of lawyer/Harvard graduate Adam Weston, for whom the Lodge was named.

Three lighted tapers, two pillars hold-ing globes, an altar set on black and white checkerboard tiles, symbolic of Solomon’s Temple, copies of the lodge’s charters and a picture of George Washington, who was an active Mason, were described.

Any good man who asks to be a Mason

can start his Masonic journey and women related to a Mason can start as Eastern Stars or Job’s Daughters. Rainbow Girls is open to any girl to join — which leads to how this meeting all came about.

Historic Littleton board member Darlee Whiting fi rst visited the Lodge as a Castle Rock teenager. She and others sought training so they could start a Rainbow Girls

chapter in Castle Rock — which they did. Many years later, it occurred to her that it would certainly be a place of interest to her fellow history buffs, so she arranged for the meeting.

Gun business booming at new clubCentennial Gun Club offers 28 shooting lanes, VIP lounge By George [email protected]

In Colorado’s “safest” city, the gun business is booming.

Earlier this month, just a rifle shot away from the Centennial Civic Center, the Centennial Gun Club opened for business in a dramatically expanded and decidedly upscale new facility.

Rated Colorado’s “safest” city among those with a population of 75,000 or more by CQ Press for nearly 10 years running, Centennial is now home to the state’s largest “gun club.”

In business in Centennial since 2012, the new club, which opened Jan. 4, fea-tures the largest indoor shooting range in the Rocky Mountain West.

During the club’s first weekend in its new location, more than 3,500 people came through its doors, said the club’s owners, Richard and Mary Abramson, Nebraska natives who’ve lived in Colo-rado for 14 years and who modeled their business on a similar facility in Scotts-dale, Ariz.

Castle Rock’s mayor, Paul Donahue, a vocal proponent of expanding the state’s “open carry” gun laws, is a close friend of the Abramsons and a managing part-ner of the club.

“We did our research and found Cen-tennial was an ideal area to start a busi-ness like this,” said Mary Abramson. “Originally, we were going to do a retail store only but then someone suggested we put in shooting lanes too.”

Members pay a one-time initiation fee and then either monthly or annual dues.

Membership includes unlimited use of the shooting range and discounts on all purchases.

“Business has been great from the get-go,” Abramson said. “And we haven’t really done any advertising yet.”

Just this week, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation reported that more Col-oradans tried to buy a gun in 2013 than in any year in the state’s history.

The bureau said it processed nearly 400,000 criminal background checks last year, 16 percent more than in 2012, which was also a record-breaking year for gun sales.

On a weekday in the middle of Janu-ary, the club’s large parking lot is nearly full and dozens of customers and club members are browsing inside or using the club’s firing range.

The new store, located at 11800 E. Peakview Ave. near the intersection of Arapahoe Road and Peoria near Centen-nial Airport, is just across the street from its former, smaller location, which now sits vacant, although its signs have yet to be removed.

The Abramsons built and own both buildings.

The new club sprawls over 35,000 square feet and offers 28 shooting lanes. (The old club had a large retail display

area but only six shooting lanes.)

The new club has a pro shop, cafe and a posh, members-only VIP lounge complete with a fireplace, pool table, leather-up-holstered furniture and its own private shooting lanes.

Flat-screen televisions tuned to CNN or display-ing firearms-related pro-gramming are mounted high on walls in the club’s 5,000-square-foot retail area.

There’s a vault where customers can rent space to store their firearms.

Throughout the facility, the steady pop-pop per-cussion of rounds being fired in the shooting range can be heard, almost as if customers are browsing next to a racquetball court rather than in front of display cases fea-turing a wide assortment of handguns, rifles and ammunition as well as cloth-ing and assorted shooting accessories.

Entering the gun club, patrons are greeted by the Second Amendment, which is inscribed above the doorway: “A well-regulated militia, being neces-sary to the security of a free state, the

right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Quotes from America’s Founding Fathers are sten-ciled on the store’s walls.

Open seven days a week, the club allows members to reserve shoot-ing lanes up to 14 days in advance.

Shoppers looking to purchase a specific fire-arm can rent a similar gun for a nominal fee and then try it before they buy it on the club’s shooting range. (Ammunition must be purchased too.)

More than 3,000 peo-ple have taken part in firearms-training courses during the club’s first two years of operation.

Abramson says the club’s “concealed carry class” is “by far our most popular. And twice a month,” she adds, “we have a ladies night. Every time, we get 10 to 15 women who have never held or fired a gun before. Some start with [non-firing] plastic guns to help them get comfort-able.”

About 30 percent of the club’s mem-bers are women, Abramson said. “My husband saw a real need to have a busi-

ness like this that is female- and family-friendly.”

The club’s indoor, state-of-the-art shooting range boasts 360-degree, pro-grammable turning targets as well as a “tactical simulator,” target retrieval sys-tem and an environmentally controlled ventilation system.

“Range masters” with a broad range of experience with virtually all types of firearms monitor activity on the range. “Safety is our number one concern,” said Abramson, and to date, there have been no incidents or injuries at the club. “Our rangers are trained to pick up on warning signs.”

“I used to drive across town to an-other gun store to buy supplies and use their firing range,” said Dennis, a cus-tomer shopping at the club last week who preferred to give only his first name because he’s “a contractor in the security business.”

Saying he “rarely” has to wait for a spot on the shooting range, Dennis added: “This club is like a dream come true. It’s classy, state-of-the-art and very user-friendly. They carry all of the best equipment, gear and ammo at really rea-sonable prices.

And the people who work here are some of the most knowledgeable and helpful I’ve ever come across. If I didn’t have a full-time job, I’d be here every day.”

‘Now I don’t like the word adventure’Highlands Ranch girl is kicking cancer’s ‘stache’By Hannah [email protected]

It’s been about a year since 7-year-old Delaney Stafford was diagnosed with leukemia, but that does not stop her from running down the stairs at the sound of a doorbell or getting in tickle fights with her father.

“I’ve only heard her say, `this isn’t fair,’ twice since she was diagnosed last year,” her mother, Stacey Stafford, said. “We’ve been really blessed that she is handling her treat-ment well.”

Delaney, a first-grade student at Redstone Elementary, is a bit of a tomboy, according to her father. Her favorite Star Wars character is Darth Vader, she plays soccer and basket-ball and “loves all things LEGO,” her mother added.

She has a fondness for mustaches, bowties and top hats, too. Mustaches in particular have become a theme in her recovery, from selling bracelets to running marathons.

Of course, she also loves her Denver Broncos.“She got an opportunity to go on the field once before a

game and Trindon Holliday came to the sideline and gave her his gloves,” Stacey said. “She just about died and he has been her favorite player ever since.”

Delaney was diagnosed on Feb. 25, 2013, with leukemia — a blood disease with a survival rate of 59 percent, accord-ing to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Stacey called it a “surreal moment.”

“Everything moved so fast with the bone marrow, sur-gery, chemotherapy. And all I can think is, `do we need a second opinion? Is this really right?’” Stacey said.

A few days after she was diagnosed, Delaney requested

anesthesiologists to draw a mustache on her face while she was unconscious during a procedure.

When asked if she was serious, the answer was an em-phatic “yes,” according to the Staffords.

“They drew up a consent form, and she signed it. They put three different pictures of mustaches on the form, and she circled the one she wanted,” Stacey said. “I think it really helped. It gave her something to look forward to.”

Signs of trouble and moving forwardThe first sign of trouble came when the energetic young

girl cried out in the middle of the night with swelling near her ear. Doctors thought she might have an infection. But after batteries of tests and doctor visits leading to her diag-nosis, Delaney got a little tired of how her mother tried to help her cope.

“She called it an adventure, and now I don’t like the word `adventure,’” Delaney said, scoffing loudly when her moth-er recounted the tale.

The family has been selling t-shirts and bracelets with the catchphrase “Cancer can kiss my stache!” online and at school events, said her dad, Tom Stafford, who came up with the name for a friend’s team in a charity run.

“What’s surprised me most is people’s generosity,” Stac-ey said. “The scariest thing was how we were going to make ends meet, but we haven’t had any major problems.”

Delaney has barely missed any school either, added her mother.

“We haven’t been too worried about her keeping up,” Tom said. “She’s a smart cookie.”

Delaney has been in remission since the end of March 2013 and has about a year-and-a-half left in her treatment. She is currently undergoing doses of steroids and chemo-therapy to maintain that remission, says her mother, an on-cology nurse by trade.

The highest chance for relapse is in the spine, which en-tails injections by spinal tap, she added.

Although they hope she never needs it, the family said that if Delaney ever needs a bone marrow transplant, they will turn to Love Hope Strength, an organization that pairs up donors with patients.

The Staffords are also working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“It’s hard with these kids, because they don’t really des-perately want anything. They just want all of it to be over,”

Stacey said.The mother of four said they chose to go on a Disney

cruise in May when all the children are out of school.“She also told them she wanted to ride around in a Jeep

or a limousine, and to wear a tuxedo all the while,” Stacey said.

Delaney’s eldest sister Emily cut hair to her ears and her father had his head buzzed at a St. Baldrick’s event for soli-darity last year. The family has also teamed up with the Leu-kemia Lymphoma Society. They are currently raising funds for a “Team In Training” to run a half-marathon later this year, with $3,915 pledged toward their $14,400 goal.

Former gymnast dives with the bestCastle View senior to challenge for state titleBy Jim [email protected]

Kaitlin Costello can identify with one of C.S. Lewis’ famous adages.

The late influential writer wrote in his fantasy novel “The Silver Chair” that “Cry-ing is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.”

Costello cried a lot almost three years ago when she pondered a decision to give up gymnastics. She eventually quit gymnastics and now is one of the state’s top divers, while competing on the Doug-las County/Castle View co-op swimming team.

“I was a gymnast for 10 years of my life until March of my freshman year,” said Costello, now a senior at Castle View. “I started thinking about it and it took me a long time to realize that quitting was what I wanted to do. I would cry all the time thinking about it because gymnastics had been my life for so long.

“I was a gymnast. I would go to school, get out of school, go to practice, come home, do my homework, eat dinner and go to bed. That was my everyday life. When I made the decision, I told my Mom. She told me later that she didn’t sleep for a week af-ter I told her. My Dad didn’t yell at me but he was taken back. After a week they de-cided it was my decision, my life and I was going to pick what I wanted to do with it.”

Costello’s aching body helped make the decision to abandon gymnastics.

“I was so hurt,” she explained. “I frac-tured my back and my arm was so messed up. I said `I’m done with the sport. I don’t want to hurt any more.’ Two weeks later I said `I want to dive.’ The next summer I qualified for nationals. I just took to it very well. I guess I picked a pretty good time to quit. I was so sick of gymnastics. I love div-ing. All my coaches are so nice.”

Costello has the state’s third best score recorded so far that season. Her 446.50 to-

tal on the one-meter board ranks behind only McKensi Austin of Regis Jesuit and Chatfield’s Averly Hobbs.

“She keeps progress-ing,” said Douglas County/Castle View diving coach Sara Ryon. “She is always so positive. I would put her in the top five divers in the state. She works very hard

to get everything clean.”Head coach Will Amos praises Costello

for more than just diving.“Kaitlin has a 3.95 GPA and is a three-

year member of the National Honor So-ciety,” he explained. “It is her long-term ambition to be an orthopedic surgeon. She has accumulated over 40 hours of commu-nity service. She is a team captain and an important part of our team’s leadership.

“She has been a competitive diver for three years and has competed in both se-nior and junior divisions at the national level in all disciplines.”

Costello, who will heading to Arizona next fall on a diving scholarship, placed 10th in the CHSAA state championships as a sophomore and fifth last year.

She is the first to admit her gymnastics background has helped her have the flex-ibility and strength to stand out as a diver.

“It helped my air awareness to know where you are at,” said Costello. “A big part of diving is spotting the water. It’s not like gymnastics and doing two flips and land-ing on the hard surface of the floor. If you don’t know where you are, you are kind of screwed. Having the preexisting ability to twist has helped.”

Costello knows she needs an excellent performance to beat Austin and Hobbs at next month’s state meet.

“We are the only three that are club div-ers,” said Costello. “I definitely have the ability to beat McKensi and Averly but I have to have a good meet and be focused. I try not to think about winning state be-cause in the past at nationals when I would think about winning, I would screw every-thing up. But it is always in the back of my mind that I could be the person that wins state.”

Jaguars are ‘small but scrappy’Rock Canyon roster blends veterans, youthBy Tom [email protected]

Six seniors help strengthen and an-chor this year’s Rock Canyon High School wrestling team.

“We are a small team but our kids are scrappy,” Coach Martin Castro said. “Team strength is spread throughout the weights. We are strong at the 120 to 132 weights plus we have a solid wrestler at 170.”

The Jaguars finished seventh at an eight-team dual tournament Jan. 25 at RCHS. The other teams competing in-cluded Littleton, Thomas Jefferson, Del Norte, Wheat Ridge, Cherokee Trail, Val-or Christian and tournament champion Pueblo West.

Organizers planned on additional teams but when some dropped out, they revised the format. There were two four-team pools and each team wrestled five dual matches in order to crown a team champion.

Castro said wrestling at Rock Canyon is becoming more popular with each year.

The varsity coach said most of his JV wrestlers are first-year wrestlers so they are still learning the sport.

He also said Rock Canyon has a small youth wrestling program that hopefully

will become the feeder program for the Jaguars in the near future.

The Jaguars has six wrestlers qualify for state last year but all six were seniors

so the coach began looking to returning wrestlers and newcomers to fill those spots when practice began in November because just about all his athletes play

other sports.“I don’t think we have any athletes

who just focus on wrestling,” he said. “We encourage our athletes to partici-pate in as many sports as possible. Some of our kids are three-sport athletes.”

Jaguar Richard Davis is the team’s 170-pounder and he has one of the team’s best records this season. He said his brothers were wrestlers and he wres-tled with them in the basement and sort of got hooked by the sport.

“I started wrestling in middle school and I have just stuck with it,” Davis said. “I guess what I like about wrestling is the freedom to do what you need to do on the mat to dominate your opponent. You make the moves you need to make to win the match and I am all about win-ning matches.”

He said at 170 pounds he works on speed, technique and leg strength.

“Many of my opponents have stron-ger upper bodies than I do,” he said. “So, I focus on technique and leg strength to my advantage instead of trying to out-muscle the other guy.”

Davis played football for three sea-sons and this is his fourth season as a wrestler. It also will be his fourth season playing centerfield for the Jaguar base-ball team.

“I have loved baseball since I was a little kid,” he said. “Lately, my favorite sport has been wrestling because it is a one-on-one contest and the outcome is all on you.”

Daugherty, a junior at High-lands Ranch, plays on the Moun-tain Vista co-op hockey squad that is ranked as Colorado’s No. 2 team behind defending state champion Ralston Valley.

As of Jan. 25, Daugherty led players from the other 28 teams in Colorado in goals, assists and points. He has 21 goals, 19 assists and 40 points in 14 games.

Daugherty leads three other players who are tied for second with 18 goals in the goal-scoring chase. He is tied for the lead in as-sists with Walker Harris of Mon-arch and is four points in front of Bishop Machebeuf’s Nick Rems on the list of the state’s top point pro-ducers.

“He’s playing real well right now,” said Mountain Vista coach Lev Cohen. “He’s moving the puck,

he’s seeing the ice real well and he’s not selfi sh. That’s the biggest thing. He makes passes and he creates opportunities for his teammates.”

Daugherty has already sur-passed his output from last season when he scored 12 goals and fi n-ished with 21 points.

“I’m very happy,” admitted Daugherty. “There’s not too much difference from last year. After practice I work on a couple moves. I try to play more, pass and shoot low. I’m just looking for the bet-ter plays, sometimes it’s a shot for the pad or sometimes it’s a pass. It’s more of where the puck should be.”

Daugherty credits his line mates, center Branden Tangney and wing Tanner Gillis, for part of his success.

Tangney, a junior who attends Rock Canyon, has scored 17 goals to go along with 15 assists and ranks in the top 10 among the state leaders.

Gillis, a senior at Mountain Vista, has amassed 26 points. The Tangney-Gillis-Daugherty line has accounted for 98 points this sea-son.

“We work well together,” said Daugherty. “We all have specifi c talents. We work well in the cor-ners, and get the puck to the mid-dle.”

Mountain Vista rolled to an 8-1

victory over Machebeuf on Jan 25 at South Suburban Ice Arena. Gillis had a hat trick and one as-sist for four points, Daugherty scored twice and had two assists and Tangney contributed four as-sists in the win. Byran Hancock also had two goals for the Golden Eagles.

Rems, in a matchup between state scoring leaders, assisted on Machebeuf’s lone goal.

Mountain Vista has fi ve games remaining in the regular season including a fi nale against Lewis-Palmer, a team that is battling the Golden Eagles for the Peak Confer-ence title.

The Golden Eagles only loss this season was a 4-3 overtime setback to No. 1 ranked Ralston Valley.

“So far it been a good season,” said Cohen. “We’re here to win it all this time. We’ve come close two years in a row. This year we’re go-ing to do better than that but we have a long way to go. Ralston Val-ley is the team to beat. They are the defending state champions. They deserve to be the team to beat.”

Mountain Vista has suffered one-goal losses the past two sea-sons in the second round of the state playoffs.

“We know what happened last year,” said Daugherty. “We know how to get there. We have the right stuff to do it.” Mountain Vista’s Ryan Daugherty, a junior, is the state’s leading scorer. Photo by Jim Benton

Jaguars nipped by Mountain Vista ‘Approach needs to change,’ Rock Canyon’s Mudd says By Jim Benton [email protected]

Rock Canyon girls basketball coach Becky Mudd claims her team needs to change its approach.

The Jaguars (9-4, 2-1 Continental), ranked No. 6 at the time in the CSHAANow.com Class 5A poll, suffered a demoralizing 58-56 loss to Mountain Vista (13-2, 3-0) Jan. 21 in the fi rst game of a Continental League girls-boys basketball doubleheader.

It was a game the Jaguars probably should have won but the Golden Eagles rallied from a 13-point defi cit in the crowded Mountain Vista Eagles Nest gym to stun Rock Can-yon when Maddy Whetstone sank two free throws with 0.5 seconds to play.

“Our girls maybe need to adopt the un-derdog role a little more,” confessed Mudd. “Other teams are coming at us with that atti-tude and we need that attitude that we’re the ones that need to fi ght for everything and not be complacent.”

Mountain Vista, which hit 10 3-point shots on the night, trailed 50-43 with just 3:39 remaining in the game but outscored

the Jaguars 15-6 down the stretch. Rock Can-yon went 6-for-12 at the free throw line dur-ing the fi nal 3:03 and didn’t have a fi eld goal.

The Golden Eagles were 9-of-10 at the charity stripe during that same time, swished two 3-point baskets and grabbed multiple key rebounds.

With Rock Canyon holding a 56-51 lead after the Jaguars’ Lexy Thorderson sank two free throws with 26.5 seconds showing on the clock, Chelsea Pearson’s 3-point shot from the corner rolled around the rim and fell through to pull the Golden Eagles to within two points.

Pearson made a steal, was fouled and then knocked down both free throws to tie the game with 13.7 seconds to play.

Rock Canyon missed a shot from the cor-ner, Whetstone pulled down the rebound and was fouled. There was still 0.5 seconds on the clock and Whetstone calmly sank both free throws to wrap up an amazing come-from-behind victory.

“The fi nish was really intense,” explained Whetstone. “I just knew to get the rebound because the game is not over with one sec-ond left.

“I just told myself to make the fi rst free throw so I wouldn’t break down and cry dur-ing the second free throw. The win was a big confi dence booster. It really puts us on the

map for all the other teams.”Pearson had what the coaching staff

called a `monster’ game. The 5-foot-8 soph-omore fi nished with 22 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. She had eight points in the fi nal 96 seconds of the game.

Whetstone, a 5-8 senior, had eight points with six coming in the fourth quarter. Emma Mitchell came off the bench to make two 3-point baskets late in the third period to spark an 11-2 run and set the stage for the Golden Eagles rally.

Rock Canyon played without starting point guard Kendall Smith and that could have been one of the reasons the Jaguars turned the ball over 24 times against the Golden Eagles pressure defense. Adding to the Jaguars’ problems, Morgan Roos fouled out of the game with 2:43 remaining. Kendall Koslosky, the Jaguars second leading scorer, was scoreless.

Erin McClure had 17 points, Thorderson 16 and Roos 12 for Rock Canyon.

“We had a lot of opportunities,” admitted Mudd. “We missed some of our guard play with Kendall Smith being hurt. We didn’t at-tack the press like we needed to get after it. And we went away from our inside game more than we needed to. Down the stretch shooting 50 percent from the free throw line is not going to win you a close game when

they are fouling.“There are a lot of things we need to work

on.”

MVHS boys roll over RCHSThere wasn’t much suspense in the boys

half of the doubleheader as Mountain Vista’s up-tempo attack and pressure defense had Rock Canyon on the ropes early as the Gold-en Eagles (14-1, 3-0 Continental) rolled to an 86-65 victory.

Mountain Vista leads all the state’s Class 5A teams in scoring, averaging 82.2 points per game, and the Golden Eagles were led by Jake Pemberton in the win over the Jaguars.

Pemberton scored 25 points, grabbed seven rebounds, dished out eight assists, made two steals and blocked three shots.

Both the Rock Canyon girls and boys teams responded to the setbacks with wins over Douglas County on Jan. 24.

Rock Canyon’s girls jumped to a 31-9 fi rst quarter lead on the way to a 70-46 win over the Huskies (6-8, 0-3 Continental).

Mitch Lombard, who led the Jaguars boys with 19 points in the loss to Mountain Vista, scored 17 to pace a 60-50 win over Douglas County that left Rock Canyon with a 2-1 Con-tinental League mark and 9-6 overall record, while dropping the Huskies to 3-12 and 0-3 in league play.

The culmination of the Ameri-can football season is on the horizon.

Millions of people will tune in to watch two teams battle for the title of champion. While the teams may be busy prepping their last-minute offensive and defensive strategies, sports fans across the country are doing their own strategizing by planning the perfect game-day party.

The first AFL-NFL World Championship Game in professional American football, later known as Super Bowl I, was played on Jan. 15, 1967 at the Los Angeles Memo-rial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. The Green Bay Pack-ers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. Since that day, ardent fans and

novices alike have been celebrating football by hosting their own viewing parties at home. These parties pres-ent yet another way for friends to get together.

As the opening kickoff draws closer, here are some keys to Super Bowl party success.

• Know your playing field. Your home is only so big, and that means you will have to limit the number of people you can invite. Crowding too many people into the house can be uncomfortable and dangerous, never mind trying to talk and hear above the cacophony of too many people. Take inventory of how many you can seat comfortably. You may need to move out larger furniture and move in folding chairs if you plan to accommodate more guests. If you live in a warmer climate, you may be able to hook up the television outside and host an outdoor event in the yard. This will enable even more people to attend.

• Size up your competition. Super Bowl Sunday is a once-a-year event. There will be thousands of like-minded individu-als planning their own parties and utilizing the same services in your local area. Those who need to rent tables and chairs and rely on a caterer (or the services of the nearest pizza joint) should plan early. If you would like to have a football gathering, start laying the groundwork a few months in advance. This way you can leave deposits for any vendors and be secure in know-ing you will have what you need come gameday.

• Establish your play book. Will this be a chips-and-dips type of party or will you be offering more substantial fare? Is it adults-only or are guests able to bring their kids along? Make a list of questions that need to be answered and set up the party parameters. This way you will know what to stock up on in advance. Consider allocating a separate room in the house for kids’ play or for adults who are there for the social aspect of the party and will not necessarily be glued to the television.

• Check your equipment. What is the Super Bowl without a means to watch the game? Retailers often offer the best deals on new televisions this time of year because they know sports fans want to upgrade their televisions for the big game. If yours is a TV that has seen better days or doesn’t offer the high-defi-nition picture guests have come to expect, this may be the time to cash in holiday gift cards for a new flat-screen. If buying new isn’t a possibility at this time, there are centers that will rent electronics.

• Watch the clock. Hardcore fans will not want to miss any of the action. Therefore, refreshments and other components of the party will have to coordinate to the timing of the game. Do the bulk of food preparation before kickoff and allow guests to mingle and fuel up before the game starts. Save finger foods and other snacks that are easily accessible for when the game starts. Guests can take a break at halftime and grab food and beverages that are set up buffet-style in another room. Hosts and hostesses also may want to consider serving as food “but-lers” and constantly come out with new finger foods on trays and go around the room to ensure everyone doesn’t miss a mo-ment of the game.

• Don’t run interference. There’s not much entertainment that needs to be scheduled on game day apart from the game itself. Ensure that the television is situated so nobody’s view is obstructed and that people moving in and out of the room need not cross in front of the TV to get food or use the restroom. While it may be customary to decorate your home with a few decorations, ensure any decorations do not obstruct views of the game. To make things comfortable for the largest number of people, consider having two TVs tuned into the game running in separate rooms. This way, guests can mingle and not be tied to one area.

Super Bowl parties are fun ways to enjoy the last football game of the season and have a houseful of guests celebrate and socialize.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF JAN 27, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Taking some time out of your usually busy social life could be just what you need to help you focus on putting those finishing touches on your plans for a possible career change.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A misunderstanding about a colleague’s suggestions could create a delay in moving on with your proposal. But by week’s end, all the confusing points should finally be cleared up.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You might feel over-whelmed by all the tasks you suddenly have to take care of. But just say the magic word -- help! -- and you’ll soon find others rushing to offer much-needed assistance.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Finishing a current proj-ect ahead of schedule leaves you free to deal with other upcoming situations, including a possible work-place change, as well as a demanding personal matter.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Turn that fine-tuned feline sensitivity radar up to high to help uncover any facts that could influence a decision you might be preparing to make. Devote the weekend to family activities.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A state of confusion is soon cleared up with explanations from the respon-sible parties. Don’t waste time chastising anyone. In-stead, move forward with your plans.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might feel obligated to help work out a dispute between family members. But this is one of those times when you should step aside and let them work out their problems on their own.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your ability to resolve an on-the-job problem without leaving too many ruffled feathers earns you kudos from co-workers. You also impress major decision-makers at your workplace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Newly made and long-held friendships merge well, with possibly one exception. Take time to listen to the dissenter’s expla-nations. You could learn something important.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Be prepared to be flexible about your current travel plans. Although you don’t have to take them, at least consider suggestions from the experts in the travel business.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A problem with a re-cent financial transaction could lead to more problems later on unless you resolve it immediately. Get all the proof you need to support your position.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Daydreaming makes it difficult to stay focused on what you need to do. But reality sets in by midweek, and you manage to get everything done in time for a relaxing weekend.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to reach out to those in need of spiritual comfort makes you a much-revered, much-loved person in your community.
