While campaigning in her community before the Nov. 8 election, Kathy Tolman encountered blunt honesty from people who said they simply did not want to talk about elections anymore.

“People were overwhelmed,” said Tolman, who is the Jefferson County Democrats’ chair for House District 24, representing Wheat Ridge and Golden. She went door to door to build support for Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who was re-elected to the 7th Congressional District, which encompasses Golden, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, south Westminster, Northglenn, Thornton, Welby and Commerce City.

But despite the election exhaustion, turnout locally was higher than the state average, and well exceeded national levels.

According to the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder’s office, the county reported a 76.8 percent of registered voter turnout this election year.

That means of the county’s 428,257 registered voters, 3129,118 cast ballots. That percentage was higher than the state average of 72.9, and the national average of 58 percent for registered voters.

Incumbents won a good majority of the races, which could be attributed to party affiliation and familiarity with candidates. But, political observers say, a higher focus on the presidential race and an extensive ballot with a variety of issues also could have distracted many voters from thoroughly researching their local candidates, resulting in a default vote for the incumbent.

‘We’re bringing our chicken to the people’ Popular chicken restaurant White Fence Farm opens location in Arvada

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For 40 years, if you had a craving for White Fence Farm’s fried chicken or famous corn fritters, you’d have to drive to the 80-acre restaurant and farm in Lakewood.

Not anymore.

“We’re never going to open another White Fence Farm like the restaurant we have in Lakewood,” said Whitney Carloss, the restaurant’s general manager. But “we started listening to our customers about ways we could be more accessible.”

That led to the company opening satellite locations for carryout at Green Valley Ranch, the Pepsi Center, Capitol Hill and one on the Arvada-Westminster border. And now one is coming to Olde Town Arvada at 55th Avenue and Olde Wadsworth Boulevard. The restaurant is expected to open in early December.

“Once the ball got rolling with restaurants like Schoolhouse and Steuben’s, we really started seeing people investing in an authentic old

WANT TO HELP ON THANKSGIVING? White Fence Farm is looking for volunteers to help put on its Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless. The restaurant serves the dinner at its Lakewood location, 6263 W Jewell Ave., from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Interested parties should contact Whitney Carloss at whitney@whitefencefarm.com town,” said Allison Trembly, marketing manager with the Arvada Economic Development Association.

“Businesses want to be here because they see the success we’re having and because we have the light rail coming.”

The Arvada location will provide carryout and also be home to The Coup, a bar-style dining experience.

The decision to start setting up satellite locations came from owners Craig Caldwell and Tom Piercy, who purchased White Fence from longtime owner Charles Wilson in 2014.

“We spent a long time looking at 30 to 40 places for the right fit,” Carloss said. “Each place we’ve invested in has its own niche customer-base.”

The new owners wanted to hold on to the traditions and nostalgia that have made White Fence Farm a mainstay. But they also wanted to pursue what Carloss calls “new improvements.”

Lakewood’s White Fence Farm has been a landmark in the city for the past 40 years, and new owners are looking to bring the restaurant’s chicken to more people. CLARKE READER Besides the satellite locations, another improvement is White Fence’s Thanksgiving lunch for the homeless. The restaurant tried the event for the first time last year at its main Lakewood location and was so successful it will make the outreach an annual tradition.

On Thanksgiving Day, the restaurant is closed to the public, but through a partnership with the South Lakewood Business Association, and charitable organizations like Salvation Army, it provides free meals to those in need.

Last year, the restaurant served

about 2,000 people its famous chicken and sides, as well as pumpkin pie.

“We had this feeling like this is what Thanksgiving is all about,” Carloss said. “We’re looking for volunteers to help us out with putting the event on.”

For White Fence, these improvements are all about spreading the word and taste of its food.

“We’re never going to be a chain restaurant, because we have all this history built in,” Carloss said. “This is just about bringing our chicken to the people.”

The event is hosted by Golden West Realty.

Low Cost Shade Trees for Sale Looking to make your yard and

neighborhood more beautiful? Reduce utility costs by increasing your shade?

Reduce storm water runoff ? Or begin to replace your ash trees before the emerald ash bore arrives? “Trees Across Arvada” is your answer!

The program is back for its thirteenth year of making low-cost shade trees available to Arvada area residents.

Over three thousand drought tolerant trees have been planted in Arvada as a result of this program. “Trees Across Arvada” is made possible through the Colorado Tree Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, renewing, and enhancing Colorado’s community forests.

Trees, all low-to-moderately low water use varieties, are 5 to 10 feet, on arrival, and up to 1 ½ inches in diameter.

Tree cost ranges from $30.00 to $55.00.

Air-pruned container, balled & burlaped and bare root trees are available. Trees are ordered and paid for by December 30. Tree pick-up, for planting, will be mid-April 2017. For more information e-mail arvadatrees@comcast.net., or call 303-421-3206.

Recycle cooking oil If you deep fry your turkey this Thanksgiving, you might wonder what to do with all that leftover cooking oil.

The answer: recycle it!

In cooperation with Great West Biofuels, the City of Arvada will again provide two locations the Saturday after Thanksgiving — Nov. 26 — for residents to recycle used cooking oil.

Great West Biofuels prevents thou-

sands of gallons of used cooking oil from ending up in landfills and sewer systems, and converts it into biodiesel.

Recycling cooking oil helps reduce the costs associated with residential and municipal sewer line maintenance, as well as pollution of surface and underground water resources.

Cooking oil can be dropped off from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 26, at two locations — Wadsworth City Shops, 6161 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., and the Indiana City Shops, 6705 Indiana St. Frozen cooking oil is hard to handle.

Keep used oil indoors prior to the recycling event so it is easier to empty your container.

There is no charge for recycling the oil. Call 720-898-7811 or go to www. arvada.org for more information.

16th Floor Denver Condo Listed by Chuck Brown Listed at just $220,000, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath, 817square-foot condo is a great starting point to ownership in the Denver real estate market.

worry about. He will not move to eliminate the mortgage interest deduction. We can expect some deregulation, including reversal of many Dodd-Frank provisions which made borrowing harder. Developers will have a friend in the White House.

As influential real estate publisher Brad Inman pointed out recently, “The last time we had real estate dealmakers as U.S. Presidents were founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, who loved their property holdings and made sure the U.S. Constitution protected them.”

The real estate industry and the real estate market will be just fine under President Trump. Interest rates will continue their slow rise, just as they would have done under Clinton. The gun industry will probably suffer far more, as people stop stocking up on assault weapons in anticipation of a tyrannical anti-gun president.

The biggest challenge I see us facing is de-energizing the “alt right” forces — white supremacists, anti-Muslim folks, and other

haters — who felt legitimized by Trump’s election based on his rhetoric. Simply saying “Stop” to such persons on 60 Minutes is not going to be enough, but I think Trump will realize that soon enough and speak more powerfully to those forces before they get too far out of hand.

In conclusion, I certainly will give Trump a chance to succeed as President, just as President Obama and other Democratic leaders are doing.

Woods refuses to concede to Zenzinger in tight race Zenzinger maintains she has won seat in state Senate District 19

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With thousands of votes still being counted, Republican Laura Woods, who represents state Senate District 19, was refusing to concede the race to her challenger, Democrat Rachel Zenzinger, as of Nov. 14 at press time.

Zenzinger, who was appointed to the seat before losing to Woods in the 2014 general election, narrowly led 47.7 percent to Woods’ 46 percent with nearly 79,000 votes counted as of Nov. 14.

Libertarian candidate Hans Romer had just over Woods 6 percent.

“There’s thousands of ballots still being counted,” Woods said.

Zenzinger, however, believes she has won the race.

In 2014, Woods narrowly defeated Zenzinger by 663 votes. This year’s race has Zenzinger been touted by pundits to be one of the most fiercely contested of the year, based on the evenly balanced

Rep. Rachel Zenzinger poses with supporters at the Jeffco Democrats election party at the Denver West Marriott on Election Night.

CLARKE READER number of registered voters in the district and the fact that the outcome could have determined which major political party controls the state Senate.

The last day to count provisional ballots is Nov. 22. Representatives in the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder’s Office were unavailable early Nov. 14 to say how many ballots remained to be counted.

A mandatory recount of ballots would be triggered if the loser’s total number of votes cast for second place is within one half of one percent of the number of votes for first place.

The current 1,331-vote lead by Zenzinger is above that threshold.

District 19 includes the western half of Westminster, and the eastern and central parts of Arvada.

Zenzinger described the race as uglier than anticipated. She has filed a criminal complaint against Colorado Citizens for an Accountable Government, which is not affiliated with Woods’ campaign, to halt a direct mail campaign in which it accused Zenzinger of wanting to use Arvada city money to pay for a trip to China.

Zenzinger said the claim was false.

The Jefferson County District Attorney’s office investigation into the ads is ongoing.

During the campaign, Zenzinger

said she hopes to see the legislature find a way to agree on the re-categorization of the hospital provider fee, which would allow the state to put those funds toward transportation and education needs.

“We also need to remain aggressive in our efforts to address the public schools’ ‘negative factor’ and make sure that we provide quality education for all our children, regardless of zip code,” she said during the campaign.

Woods defeated Zenzinger in 2014.

Zenzinger had been appointed to the seat in 2013 after Evie Hudak resigned in the face of a recall vote.

ELECTION: Name recognition might have boosted incumbents this year FROM PAGE 1

“People may have stuck with what they knew,” Jefferson County Democrats chairwoman Cheryl Cheny said.

Some wins reflected narrow margins.

For example, in the race for District M’s Regional Transportation District (RTD) director, incumbent Natalie Menten, a Republican, won with just 1,700 more votes than her opponent Dave Ruchman. District M includes Golden, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood.

Total votes cast in this race were 67,680.

Name recognition and comfort level in voting for an incumbent might have persuaded votes in some of the races, Menten conceded. But in District M, the challenger Ruchman, was a former RTD board director. Menten attributed her win to what she states she is known for — a watchdog with finances and belief in transparent government.

“Paying attention to where your tax dollars go is just as important on a race that covers three local cities as your federal government,” Menten said. “It may be an annoying time of the year, but we’re really lucky to have the choices and process. Some people don’t get that opportunity.”

Colorado’s Regional Transportation District is one of only a few in the nation in which people can elect its leaders, Menten said.

The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County, a nonpartisan political organization that does not endorse candidates, provided voters with a lot of valuable information, said the organization’s president, Mary Lonergan.

“We fundamentally believe that our democracy works best when all Americans, of all backgrounds, have the opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of our national political processes,” she said.

The league sponsored candidate meet-and-greets for the public, a state ballot issue pamphlet that outlined the background and the pros and the cons for each item, and a side-by-side comparison of candidates on the league’s website.

More than 8,000 Ballot Issue pamphlets were handed out throughout the county in city buildings, libraries, some senior living facilities and

recreation centers. And 85 people attended its Community Ballot Issue Meeting in Lakewood.

“These citizens were there because they wanted to learn the facts about the ballot issues,” Lonergan said.

“They want … information that they can trust (and) the League’s information is only based on the facts.”

Voters had a lot to consider this year, said Don Ytterberg, chair of the Jefferson County GOP, but he felt they made intelligent, informed decisions.

“There was an awful lot of energy expended on the national races, particularly the presidential race,” he said.

Because the presidential race consumed much of the media coverage, there was less focus on local races, Ytterberg said. But that doesn’t mean voters did not pay attention to local races — there was just less discontent with the conditions in the county and the state than nationally, he said.

“There are a bunch of people who really care,” said Judy Denison, an activist in the Golden area. But there are also many “who don’t pay attention.”

In Denison’s opinion, one constant that makes a difference in how people vote, in general, is the level of effort candidates make to be present in the community.

Regardless of whether it’s campaign season or not, Perlmutter, a Democrat who was easily re-elected to the 7th Congressional District, said his top priority is to engage with the public and to always be accessible and responsive.

“I think people tend to vote for who best represents their values and beliefs,” said Perlmutter, who defeated Republican George Athanasopoulos and Libertarian Martin Buchanan for a sixth term. “Feedback from constituents helps me when deciding what policies to pursue or what votes to take in Congress.”

Tolman agreed that efforts to engage constituents on a personal level — whether it’s responding to an email, returning a phone call or shaking a person’s hand — makes a difference in support.

“It matters,” she said. That personal connection — it’s something voters never forget.

How Jefferson County voted Results for Jefferson County, as of Nov. 14, with 329,118 votes cast.

U.S. President Hillary Clinton, Democrat, 48.95 percent; Donald J. Trump, Republican, 42.11 percent; Gary Johnson, Libertarian, 5.53 percent; Jill Stein, Green, 1.35 percent; Evan McMullin, Unaffiliated, 1.07 percent.

Voters reject school funding measures

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They met at Thiel College in Greenville, PA A Homecoming Queen and a guy with some sway They married each other in old ‘51 A beautiful partnership, then just begun The years, they flew by as the years often do And through those years, their relationship grew Their family blossomed with 2 daughters, 2 sons 10 grands, 3 great-grands, and a house full of fun!

A teacher, a pastor – meant each had a “call”, And working with others, they gave it their “all” Now we cheer this milestone with Marianne and Tom & give thanks for their lives and their love that grows on!

Happy 65th Anniversary!

Love, Your Family & Friends

For school board president Ron Mitchell, the first results, posted in the minutes after polls closed Election Night, painted a grim picture: Jeffco Schools’ bond and tax override measures were headed for defeat.

“It was way too early in the night,” Mitchell said. “I don’t think I was prepared for it.”

Voters rejected the 3B bond measure 52.7 percent to 47.3 percent and the 3A mill levy override 52 percent to 47.9 percent.

The $535 million bond proposal would have funneled money into building new schools and improving and repairing aging ones. The $33 million mill levy override would have been an ongoing increase to the district’s tax revenue, with the money going towards attracting and retaining teachers and hiring more mental health staff.

Those in the community who were critical of the bond measure

said the rebuke from voters was well deserved.

“A 90-day conversation for that large of a bond issue without a broader discussion obviously didn’t work,” said Laura Boggs, a former board of education member and critic of recent tax proposals.

Boggs said she supports more funding for education, but disliked several details of the bond package.

She said 3A, the mill levy override, was likely overshadowed by the bond.

“I’m pretty shocked,” said Katie Winner, who has two children in elementary school. “As a parent I had to vote and live it the next day.

Non-parents don’t.”

Mitchell agreed that communication could have been better.

“It feels like we really missed an opportunity to chart a much brighter future for our school district,” Mitchell said, adding that figuring out what went wrong would be a top priority. for the board and the district.

Superintendent Dan McMinimee

said no definitive answer exists for how the district will deal with ongoing state budget shortfalls without the 3A and 3B tax revenue, but there will be “tough choices” during ongoing budget discussions.

The district’s $800 million facilities master plan would have received a jump start with the bond funding. Now, “virtually all of it” will be on hold for lack of funding, Mitchell said.

Bill Bottoms, campaign chair for the Yes on 3A and 3B campaign, worries about the overall effect on school environment.

And the lack of funding from 3A will be especially harmful in the attraction and retention of highquality teachers, he said.

McMinimee agreed, especially in light of surrounding districts like Denver and Mapleton managing to pass their own tax measures.

“But the bottom line is that we have to show up because there’s 86,000 students that count on us to bring our best every day,” he said, “and that’s not going to change.”

Arvada road tax comes to a dead end STAFF REPORT

Voters in Arvada decided to hold up a big stop sign for a city-proposed half-cent sales-and-use tax increase for street improvements.

Returns this week show 55.7 percent of Arvada voters defeating 2G, a proposed compared to 44.29 percent supporting it. More than 62 thousand Arvadans voted on the measure.

Arvada Mayor Marc Williams said the defeat of the tax measure, which he had supported was due to the

campaign not doing a well enough job, justifying the city’s street and sidewalk needs.

“It means we have to go back to the drawing board and figure out with our internal budget and what we have to do to fix the major problems we have with our infastructure with our available funds,” Williams said.

If it had passed, the sales tax increase would have begun Jan. 1 and concluded Dec. 31, 2028.

The current sales tax rate in Arvada is 3.46 percent. If the half-cent street

improvement tax had passed, the sales tax rate would have risen to 3.96 percent, equal to a nickel on a $10 purchase.

Initial projects included widening existing lanes and improving sidewalks on Ralston Road between Yukon Street and Garrison Street, adding lanes and sidewalks on West 72 Avenue between Simms Street and Ward Road, adding sidewalks in neighborhoods near the G-Line Commuter Rail Stations, and closing sidewalk gaps in Southeast Arvada.

Williams said the city had some rebonding opportunities, which could help with some of those needs, with the rest being up for debate through tough budgeting questions. He said another tax request in two years might be possible as well.

The other item on the ballot for city voters was 2H, to allow the city more flexibility in offering high speed internet, telecommunication and cable services to the city’s residents. It passed with 71.7 percent approval.

Incumbent Weir beats Lilly in DA race Major outside money failed to unseat Republican

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Incumbent Pete Weir has kept his position as district attorney in the 1st Judicial District, defeating Democrat Jake Lilly in a contentious race.

Weir garnered 53.4 percent to Lilly’s 46.5 percent of the 295,912 votes counted in Jefferson County.

In Gilpin County, also part of the 1st Judicial District, Lilly took 51.1 percent of the 3,311 votes cast.

Lilly, a war veteran and defense attorney at his own firm in Lakewood, said he made a respectful presence.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of different ideas out there,” he said.

Weir believes voters made a

choice on the grassroots level.

He pointed out that Republican billionaire investor George Soros provided $1.1 million in funding toward Lilly’s campaign compared to the $80,000 Weir raised for his campaign.

Lilly declined to comment, other than stating he “had nothing to do with that.”

The outstanding work being done by the district attorney’s office and the men and women in

law enforcement has been noticed

by Jefferson and Gilpin county residents, Weir said.

“It’s gratifying that the community recognizes that,” he said.

Weir added the district attorney’s office will continue to be progressive.

“We’re a leader in the state,” Weir said, “but recognize there’s more work to be done.”

An example of real leadership far from the national stage

couple weeks ago, I wrote about leadership and put forward the idea that recognizing leadership is about finding the person who sees what needs to be done, and who then does it. But, then I realized that maybe that’s a little too esoteric a point, that maybe a concrete example would be useful.

And, as luck would have it, the universe presented me an example almost immediately.

On Sunday, John Martz, the pastor at our church, took to the pulpit to explain the direction that our church board sees the church moving in in the next year or so. And the steps that John outlined were extraordi-

nary. He started by talking about the church as it currently exists, and how much he wants to continue to serve that church. But then, he moved in the direction of the society within which the church exists, and how the two do not intersect in as meaningful a way as he feels they should.

John then laid out some steps that he wants the church to take to increase the interfacing of the church and the society, saying some of these would be comfortable for him. At one point, he said that for the church to move in the direction it needs to, if it becomes clear that it is better for him to retire, then he will retire.

And that — I am quite certain — is not

something he wants to do.

But, in the interest of serving his flock, he is willing to do what is difficult and unpleasant.

That, my friends, is leadership. I hope and pray that all of you reading this are part of an organization — of any kind — that has that sort of leadership. It is inspiring.

Now, and not to be an Eeyore, think about your expectations for the victory and concession speeches you heard Tuesday and Wednesday, and ask yourself if you expected to hear anything remotely approaching that kind of leadership. Of course you didn’t — SEE ALCORN, P11

Helping children participate at Thanksgiving LIFELONG LEARNING Esther Macalady

S

ometimes, young children feel lost in all the preparations, activity and loudness of family gatherings.

With a little planning, families can set up a simple way to include children and keep them busy during meal preparation. They can learn about the seasons, holidays, how everyone needs to help, develop thoughtfulness and appreciation.

Before Thanksgiving gather colored leaves pressed in a book, gourds or small pumpkins, pinecones, dried corncobs and fall flower blossoms. Gather materials and place all the things in a basket. On the day of the dinner, children will pass out items and a name card to each person. Family

members will have a chance to say something they are thankful for and place a decoration from nature on a tray for a family cornucopia. This will take practice with young children, but the result will make a great family movie Teaching thankfulness When there are many cousins around, a quiet break helps the day go smoothly.

Jeffco rethinking 2015?

Can it be a sign of buyers’ remorse that, of all the school bond and mill levy ballot questions promoted across our state, the voters of Jeffco resoundingly rejected theirs?

Having ejected their reformist school board majority at the behest of the teachers’ union, and finding themselves saddled with a profligate board with an ‘edifice complex’ rather than one which sought to improve the academic achievements of its student customers by internal reforms, isn’t it indicative that those voters sent a clear message to their board, saying ‘enough already’ and ‘put-your-house-in-order,’ fiscally and course-contentwise, first?

For next year, should not we now be considering an excerpt from the Oliver Cromwell’s chilling Invective: ‘Ye have been sitting here for to long for any good which ye may be doing, begone I say, let us have done with you,’?

Columnists & Guest Commentaries

Nothing could be further from the truth. A huge increase in the difficulty of acquiring needed signatures combined with a 55 percent super majority to pass will all but completely eliminate amendments designed to limit the power of state government. How ironic that a freedom-loving public so carelessly discarded this vital freedom.

Like the freedom to pass Front Range growth proposals, or school impact fees designed to help with the huge school costs created by new homes who pay nothing for two to three years. These endeavors require statewide measures. You don’t really think politicians with their hands in developers’ pockets are going to pass something to help taxpayers? Or perhaps you took the word of John Hickenlooper or Wellington Webb, believing that they have your best interests at heart? They don’t.

Happy Holidays.

Changes are coming Also, talk about the seasons, especially the fall and how the things that have been growing all summer are ready to eat. How is nature getting ready for winter? Explain how leaves turn colors. What are animals like squirrels and chipmunks doing to prepare? Do they notice the family pet growing a thicker coat?

If older children do not know the answers to these questions, they can use a search engine like Google to

find the answers in advance. Give children a chance to think, discuss and practice what they plan to share while giving thanks. Remember to thank all the helpers!

Once the family is seated, take a minute or two for each person to mention something they are thankful for and place their decorations in the family centerpiece. This activity can be used for family gatherings any time during the year to remind us the meaning of family.

Children can draw fall pictures for place cards or simple napkin holders. Children can also count the number of people and set the table with napkins and silverware.

I want to salute my opponent, Joe Demott, for running, for his public service and for his dedication to Wheat Ridge. I admire his contribu-

ALCORN: Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump delivered good speeches FROM PAGE 10

if either of them had any clue about service, they would have both retired from this race months ago, and let us have a reasonable pair to choose from.

Yet, somehow, both Hillary and Trump managed to summon their better angels and give very good speeches.

It would have been great if either of them would have wandered into that neighborhood at any point during the campaign.

Sorry. Had to do that.

By the way, in case you’re still whatever about the election, here is a list of things that did NOT end last Tuesday night, besides, ya know, the world: • the regular cycle of the sun rising and setting, though the whole “fallback” thing still has some people clearly out of sorts • the Broncos’ inability to run the

football • the Rockies’ futility, though there is, at least, some sign of moving in the right direction with the hiring of Bud Black. Of course, the front office botched the announcement by letting it leak in the middle of a Broncos Sunday night game two days before the election. Brilliant messaging control!

• the drought, apparently • traffic congestion on every main north-south artery on the west side of the city • the spectacular beauty of the Rocky Mountains • the pure joy of a child’s laughter • your ability to be kind, compassionate, brave or generous Just something to think about.

STATE REP. SALAZAR LEADS DENVER RALLY State Rep. Joe Salazar speaks at a rally that he helped organize on the west steps of the State Capitol on Nov. 10. Salazar, a Democrat, led the rally, which was a stand of solidarity with communities that he says were targeted by President-elect Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign.

“We will not tolerate this,” said Salazar of a Trump presidency. “Colorado went mighty blue this presidential cycle.”

“There are some, even at this Capitol, who are afraid of what that means to be a Democrat. They’re fearful about being too progressive. They’re fearful about what would happen if they don’t become more moderate. Well, I’m telling you, the state of Colorado is moving in a progressive direction.

We as a state are going to show the rest of the country what it means to be progressive, and we can still remain blue, because that’s what the people want.”

Seeking peace and unity on Election Night

Prayer service at St. John’s Episcopal focuses congregation on faith and finding common ground among divisiveness

BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Bells rang at St. John Chrysostom Episcopal Church at precisely 7 p.m. on Election Night, just as they do every hour on the hour.

“When the bells went off, that was the signal that we were not only beginning our worship, but the signal that the polls are closed,” the Rev. Tim Thaden told about 10 members of his congregation who gathered for an “Election Day healing” prayer service. “So we’re in that zone between no more votes and finding out who our next president will be and all of those issues that have been in so many people’s hearts for such a long time.”

The Golden church, which draws members from Arvada, Lakewood and other surrounding communities, often has prayer services on such occasions and last had an election prayer service in 2012. While politics and government were on many minds, Thaden sought to recenter thoughts on faith.

“The main reason we’re here tonight is to establish our oneness in Jesus,” Thaden told church members.

In an interview and during the service, Thaden talked about the divisiveness in the nation over the election, but also noted that his congregation is even-tempered and gets along.

As attendees entered the building, they made small talk and joked with one another. Politics came up mostly when asked by the reporter.

“I’ve never been shaken by any of this other stuff, but it shakes the world around me so it has to have some impact,” Arvada resident Lynn Simms said. “This is a place where none of that gets in.”

Simms, who has been attending the

church for about a decade, said she came to re-establish with herself that God is what’s important in her and others’ lives.

“Everything else is noise,” Simms said, “and this past 18, 19 months have tested a lot of people’s value systems. I’m going to pray for them tonight, specifically.”

Others also talked of unity, peace and focusing on faith.

“If we have preferences, we don’t know now anyway so it doesn’t make any difference,” Lynette Cupfere,

who lives in Lakewood, pointed out.

“We’re all one now anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

Thaden has found that elections eason is a good time for a healing prayer service because some people will feel as if they won, while others will feel as if they’ve lost.

“Basically it’s a service tonight to pray for, of course, anybody who has personal needs,” he said, “but mostly

the traditional

gym

Metro residents explore unconventional workouts

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he traditional gym setting is not for everyone, but getting fit, keeping fit, and having fun can be done in many different and unusual ways.

Take pole dancing for instance.

“The philosophy behind it is that it’s a workout for everybody, no matter your fitness level, your age, weight or whatever you’ve done in the past,” said Jenna McNamar, owner of Rockstar Pole Fitness, which opened two years ago in Olde Town Arvada.

From pole dancing in Arvada to ballet barre dancing in Highlands Ranch to UFC fighting in Westminster, metroarea residents are looking for alternative ways to stay in shape.

Pole dancing has been gaining in visibility in recent years. Colorado now has 12 pole dance fitness studios, with the majority located in Denver, Colorado Springs and Boulder. Two are in the Denver metro area: Vertical Academy Workout in Highlands Ranch and Rockstar Pole Fitness in Arvada.

McNamar starting practicing pole fitness 10 years ago and has been teaching it for eight years.

“When I first started, people wouldn’t talk about it because people relate it to exotic dancing,” she said.

“It still is and we at Rockstar want to have a huge part in that, too, because that’s where it came from. But I think when people realize the strength it takes to do this stuff — it is hard and it is challenging and I think that’s why it grows.”

Madeline Haenel, 42, had been looking for a workout routine she could stick with for a while. After attending pole class for the first time two months ago, she found it.

“The first experience was so fun and amazing and freeing that the next week, I signed up for two classes and now I have the monthly membership,” Haenel said.

But for her, it’s not just about the sore muscles and full body workout.

It’s also about the personal empowerment found at the studio.

“For me, taking a pole class has been a really empowering thing,” Haenel said, adding that she is transgender and recently had gender confirmation surgery. “It’s really a whole new perspective on me and my body, and it’s a whole new freedom that I have.”

The studio has also been a source of

community for Haenel and others.

“There’s this whole community of people that are very supportive,” Haenel said. “Ladies that go there of all shapes and body types. You don’t have to be a specific body type to pole dance. It breaks some of the preconceived notions that people might have.”

A better ballet workout Highlands Ranch resident Devyn St. Aubin, a traditional gym setting or running program doesn’t work.

Two years ago, she stumbled across a The Ballet Physique — a ballet barre studio in Lone Tree — and she hasn’t looked back.

out of the question for me,” said St. Aubin, 26. “I needed to find a workout that would hit all my areas.”

And that’s what the workout that focuses on small movements does.

“It doesn’t look intense, but it builds a really prominent burn in your muscles that you’re not going to get from some of the other classes out there,” said Ballet Physique owner Kristen Zurek.

Zurek, who has a professional dance background, discovered the ballet barre form of fitness while studying in New York City. When she moved to Colorado in 2008, the workout had yet to make it to Colorado. So Zurek SEE EXERCISE, P15

Dancing with scuffed shoes and happy hearts

Westminster club draws dancers from around the region for dance, friendship and fun

BY BY KEVIN M. SMITH

Jim and Verna Crowley have been dancing a long time, since 1953 when Verna had just graduated from high school in St. Louis.

“I went to a dance and caught him,” Verna said as she slipped her hand under his elbow and wrapped it around his arm.

The Arvada couple was among the members of the Scuffed Shoes square dance club gathered at the Elks Lodge in Westminster for their weekly Friday dances.

“We do it mostly for exercise,” Jim said. “It’s good for your mind and body.”

Their story and sentiments are not unlike many of those at Scuffed Shoes.

“It’s the friendship and the activity,” Scuffed Shoes co-president Melinda Shaffer said about why she likes the club.

And square dancing is good exercise

IF YOU WANT TO DANCE For more information on Scuffed Shoes, visit www.scuffedshoes.org or call Robert and Melinda Shaffer at 303-653-1603. mentally and physically, dance caller Bob Gaunt said.

“They’ve got to listen to the caller and do whatever he or she says,” said Gaunt, who has been square dancing since 1968 and calling since 1970.

Doors open for rounds at 7:30 p.m. and square dancing starts at 8 p.m. each Friday at the Elks Lodge, 3850 Elk Drive in Westminster.

For club members, entry is included in their annual dues. For non-members, it’s $7 per person. There’s usually a mix of club members and dancers who belong to other clubs or are unaffiliated.

Each dance has a theme, and club members bring snacks along with providing water and coffee.

Lessons are Wednesday evening, which many use to learn square dancing for the first time or re-learn after a hiatus.

“There’s a lot of people who squaredanced years ago, when Bob does classes …,” Shaffer said. “A lot of the times the dancers who are rusty will come and brush up on their skills.”

Scuffed Shoes Co-President Melinda Shaffer, center, and others move across the dance floor during the club’s weekly square dancing Friday, Nov. 4, at the Elk’s Lodge in Westminster.

KEVIN M. SMITH/FOR THE ARVADA PRESS She said it can be intimidating to come to the first dance, but it’s a welcoming environment.

“As a new person you always are a little timid coming into something you don’t know and a bunch of people you don’t know, and you walk in and everyone treats you like they’ve known you the last 50 years,” Shaffer said.

Keith and Susan Henderson of Westminster have been square dancing for 21 years. Their friends encouraged them to try it, so they took lessons.

“We did nothing but laugh our way through class and we had a ball,” Susan said.

Shaffer also boasted about the family friendly atmosphere: There’s no offensive language, no alcohol allowed and any age can participate in dancing.

Shaffer also recalled a square dancer she knew who came on the recommendation of their marriage counselor because it was a non-threatening activity they could do together. She said it saved their marriage.

EXERCISE: Alternative workout methods give other options for fitness FROM PAGE 14

started a studio from scratch and opened in downtown Littleton in 2010.

She opened her second studio in Lone Tree in 2014.

Over the years, the workout has become more popular throughout the Front Range.

“When I came here, I couldn’t find a studio,” Zurek said, “and now there 50 of them.”

But although “ballet” is in the name, Zurek noted that the workout is not ballet. The low-impact workout uses the ballet bar to help stabilize and leverage body weight. It’s designed to sculpt and tone long, lean danceresque muscles.

Students at The Ballet Physique MtnVista Ad 10.25x4 Aug2016_Layout 1 9/30/16 run the full spectrum, from teenagers

who are trying to stay fit to 75-year-old women.

“The nature of the workout appeals to many parts of the population because everyone wants to have strong and sculpted muscles,” Zurek said.

“Mostly women between the ages of 30 and 60 — not dancers and not athletes.

A lot of them have had kids and are just ready to get back into shape.”

Mixed martial arts a complex workout On the other end of the spectrum, UFC gym in Westminster is giving people motivation to break the cycle of weights and the treadmill.

“I like it because it hits your whole body,” said James Camire, who attends classes at the gym and trains twice a week. “The intensity, it’s really 12:47 PM Page 1 hard to get similar intensity doing

other things.”

Dalton Grinstead, coach and personal trainer at UFC in Westminster, said the mixed martial arts workout helps teach problem-solving skills for the real world.

“You can always get a cheap membership somewhere and wait for the macho man to get off the machine and do your curls for the girls, but you’re kind of turning your brain off there,” Grinstead said. “These workouts, it’s a complex movement pattern and it’s fast-paced. So you understand what jab cross is, but there’s 15 other things associated with it. Where’s my feet?

Where’s my head? So you’re constantly problem-solving both hemispheres of the brain.”

Walking into a UFC gym, which are also located in Highlands Ranch and

Parker, is not the scene many people expect, Grinstead said.

“It’s kind of surprising because we’re a UFC gym and if you ever watch the UFC, it’s blood and, really, some people say violent fighting,” he said. “But our UFC gym is totally different. There’s only a small handful of guys here that want to compete in fighting. Really, 80 percent of the people here want to lose weight. A large percentage of that also want to learn self defense as well.”

People also are surprised that the gym has more female than male members, Grinstead said.

“That little bit of extra money you’re spending is so much more valuable because you’re learning a skill,” he said. “It’s something totally different than most gyms can offer.”

Remember to shop small-minded this holiday season

AVENUE FLASHES

As Thanksgiving approaches we all look forward to that annual event that bring people closer together and lets them all share in a special holiday tradition where friends and family compete with complete strangers to see who can load up a shopping cart with the most goodies and make it to the checkout stand before the sun comes up. That’s right folks, it’s once again time to break out your warm clothes and comfortable shoes so you can stand in line

for the stores opening on Black Friday.

But, there is one follow up event I would encourage you to take advantage of and that’s Small Business Saturday. That’s the day after Black Friday when all the little guys in your neighborhood have sales in their shops. Since they don’t have the mega bucks advertising budget that the big stores have, someone came up with the idea of all of them banding together and having their own sale day. It’s a great

chance to explore some of your local shops and save a little money while simultaneously discovering new places, finding unique gifts and avoiding getting trampled. Plus, you don’t have to camp out on the sidewalk to take advantage of it.

So, if you live here in Golden, plan on spending Saturday, Nov. 26 downtown.

Grab a coffee, check out the shops, maybe SEE AKAL, P17

Inventor focuses game on reliving a cycling race

Kickstarter launched for locally created cycling board game

Growing up in Indiana, Alex Bishop always dreamed of designing fun and exciting board games. So he and his childhood friends would create them and play them among themselves.

But he’s also always had a passion for anything with two wheels, he said.

And now, Bishop, 31, has made a

dream come true with Glory Gears — a board game he created to share the experience and thrill of bicycle racing.

“The most exciting thing is seeing it come to life,” Bishop said. “This game is much more than a board game — it’s the experience of being able to re-live the race.”

The game is based off Indiana University’s annual Little 500 bicycling race — one that Bishop won in 2007 during his racing days as a student at the university. He has amazing memories and life-changing experiences he SEE GAME, P19

GAME: Goal of project is to ‘capture the thrill and excitement’ of games FROM PAGE 18

hopes to be able to share with others through the game, he said.

“This event has forever changed the lives of so many that it inspired me to create a way for others to learn about, and enjoy, it,” Bishop said. “My goal behind this endeavor was to capture the thrill and excitement of this great event in an accurate, fast paced, strategic game that can be enjoyed by all — cycling fan or not.”

A game of Glory Gears lasts anywhere between about 30 minutes to three hours. Game time varies, Bishop said, because it has been designed to be played as players desire

— simply, or with a lot of strategy.

“It’s very true to a real bike race,” he said. “Just like in a real race, if you make one mistake, your race is pretty much over.”

A player moves by cards in hand rather than rolling a dice. The game is best played in a group of four to eight, but can be played with only two players. It is meant for players age 8 years and older.

It took Bishop about four years to work out all the details to get Glory Gears ready for production. It is trademarked and market-ready, he said. However, to offset some costs, a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign launched on Nov. 15. The goal is

$10,000 in 30 days, which would provide initial support for pre-orders of the game. Bishop hopes to be able to eventually get Glory Gears available in game stores and bike shops across the U.S. As soon as Bishop told his friend Peter Darragh, 19, about Glory Gears, they set up a game night comprised of a small group of avid cyclists.

“There’s so much versatility to it,” Darragh said, who has been an avid cyclist for about 10 years. “It’s like a new game every time you play it.”

But a person does not have to be a cyclist to understand or enjoy the game, Darragh said. Players will get a little insight into the cycling culture,

and what it feels like to compete in a pro cycling race, but anybody would have fun playing it, he said.

Bishop, a Wheat Ridge resident, who has been the manager for Big Ring Cycles, a bike shop in Golden, for about five years, has about a dozen other games in prototype, which he plans on eventually releasing through his company, Mind Melt Games. He selected Glory Gears as the first because of its unique appeal and specific background story of the Little 500.

“Alex is so passionate about it,” Darragh said of the Little 500. “He had such a good time, and he wanted to share that with other people.”

World premiere holiday musical comes home ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ celebrates variety show era

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was a time when holiday specials were an event for the whole family. When everyone would gather in front of the television to watch personalities like Dean Martin, Carol Burnett or Sonny and Cher host variety shows featuring music, skits and laughter.

Nostalgia for those days is what drove Arvada Center musical director David Nehls and writer Kenn McLaughlin to create “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” a musical developed for the center.

“We both grew up on variety shows,” explained McLaughlin. “We thought we’d take our love of variety shows and what was going on in 1969, which was a watershed moment in the changing dynamic in America, and create this show.”

The world premiere of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., from Nov. 18 through Dec. 23. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m.

Wednesday, and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“The feeling of everyone coming together is missing from a lot of Christmas shows,” said Rod Lansberry, the Arvada Center’s artistic producer.

“The show is a new approach to our holiday show, and I believe we’re creating not only a new piece, but a new tradition.”

As the 1960s end, the Bright family prepares for their annual Christmas variety show, one of the most-watched and anticipated television events of the year. The family gets a surprise when their son, and former teen idol, Simon (Jake Mendes) returns from the Vietnam War, uneasy about returning to the stage and civilian life.

The cast of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” which makes it world premiere on Nov. 18. Clockwise from top: Noah Racey (Dana Bright), Megan Van De Hey (Louise Bright), Jake Mendes (Simon Bright) and Kim McClay (Maggie Bright) PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ARVADA CENTER

“I’ve been the musical director for my own work before, but never at the Arvada Center,” he said. “The Arvada Center is the perfect place for new

McLaughlin and Nehls, as well as director Gavin Mayer, described the process of putting together “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” as collaborative and exciting.

Sunday, Dec. 4 - 2 p.m.

Wednesday, Dec. 1 p.m.

“Christmas is my favorite time of year, so I take the opportunity to be part of people’s holiday season very seriously,” Mayer said. “This show is all about taking time out of life to breathe and about family being together.”

Pomona junior quarterback Ryan Marquez breaks loose for a long run Nov. 11 against Bear Creek at the North Area Athletic Complex in Arvada. The No. 1-seeded Panthers rolled to a 42-26 victory over the Bears in the opening round of the Class 5A state football playoffs.

No. 1 Pomona runs past Bear Creek

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Pomona made it be known early Nov. 11 that its running game is up to speed with the Class 5A football state playoffs underway.

Senior quarterback Ryan Marquez ripped off a 42-yard run for the No. 1-seeded Panthers on their opening play from scrimmage. Junior Max Borghi rushed in from 13 yards out for his 20th touchdown on the season on the next play, giving Pomona a quick 7-0 lead on Bear Creek just 37 seconds into the first-round game.

“We knew we had to come out and get our offense going,” Pomona senior Cameron Gonzales said after a 42-26 victory Friday night against Bear Creek at the North Area Athletic Complex.

The win moves Pomona (10-1 record) into the quarterfinals where the Panthers will face a familiar foe — Columbine (9-2). The No. 9 Rebels held on to defeat No. 8 Highlands Ranch on Friday night to set up a rematch of the 5A state semifinal last year. The Panthers won that game

by a point on a late missed extra point that would have sent the game into overtime.

“We’ve got to get ready to go.

We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Pomona coach Jay Madden said about preparing for Columbine. “They are a heck of a football team.”

With the new leagues and waterfall format, Jeffco schools Pomona and Columbine didn’t go up against each other in the regular season.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, at Jeffco Stadium.

“It’s always a dogfight,” Gonzales said facing Columbine.

Gonzales finished with 13 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Panthers’ ground game against Bear Creek. Borghi finished with seven carries for 51 yards and also had a 32-yard touchdown catch midway through the third quarter that pushed Pomona’s lead to 28-7.

Marquez was a perfect 2-for-2 — both touchdown throws — in the second half before Pomona’s backup took over to start the fourth quarter.

A 20-yard touchdown pass from Marquez to junior Riley Govan gave the Panthers a 35-7 lead heading to the fourth quarter.

“The simple fact is we have to come out ready to go,” Marquez

said. “Respect to Bear Creek. They put up some points on us. You have to be ready for anything in the playoffs.”

No. 16 Bear Creek (3-8) put together a solid scoring drive before halftime with senior Andre Renteria capping it off with a 2-yard touchdown run. Bear Creek senior quarterback Walker Rumsey gave the Panthers’ defense fits at times with his scrambling ability.

Rumsey had a 63-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that cut Pomona’s lead to 42-20. He also threw a touchdown pass on the final play of the game to make the score a little closer.

A tough scheduled helped Bear Creek make the 16-team field despite just three wins on the season.

“We thought we had to beat Regis to get in,” Rumsey said about the Bears losing their regular-season finale last week. “It was a miracle honestly. We were just lucky enough to play an extra game. Most teams are sitting at home. We are pretty blessed.”

playoff loss to Cherry Creek on Nov. 11 D’Ascoli completed 20 of 39 passes for 175 yards and finished the season with 1,454 passing yards.

Walker Rumsey, football, senior, Bear Creek: He accounted for 220 total yards in the Nov. 11 loss to Pomona as he passed for 103 yards and two

touchdowns and rushed for 117 yards and a TD. Chad Dines, football, junior, D’Evelyn: He was the standout in the Jaguars’ 41-7 Class 2A quarterfinal playoff loss to LaJunta on Nov. 12. He passed for 128 yards and a touchdown in addition to rushing for 27 yards.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Garrett Zanon, football, senior, Pomona: He led the Panther defense with 12 total tackles as Pomona built up a 35-7 lead over Bear Creek and rolled to a 42-26 Class 5A first round playoff win on Nov. 11.

here was definitely a Continental League and south metro-area flavor in the Denver Coliseum for the Nov. 11 and 12 state volleyball tournament.

There were five Jim Benton Continental teams in 5A pool play, and with Cherry Creek and Arapahoe, that meant seven of the 12 teams were from the south metro area.

Valor Christian in Class 4A gave the south suburbs another team.

“It’s because we get to play good competition,” Chaparral coach Amanda West said when quizzed about the dominance of south metro teams.

“Some of the other teams maybe don’t see that competition going into postseason.”

Highlands Ranch coach Lou Krauss pointed toward club-team participation, population and money.

“It’s kind of a combination,” he said.

“You have the population growing, especially in Douglas County, and you have the socio-economics, which allows kids to play in clubs. If you play club, that gives you an advantage over everyone else. In this sport, it takes a long time to develop skills.”

Class system under review The Colorado High School Activities Association’s Classification and League Organization Committee will create a subcommittee to explore the current classification system.

One of the considerations will be adding another class to the current system, which presently goes up to Class 5A. Hopefully, this subcommittee will have enough sense to not add any more classifications. There are too many already.

Any new recommendations that are passed won’t happen until the 2020-22 cycle.

Enrollment has always been the chief reason in dividing schools into classifications.

Population of public schools should be a part of classification divisions, especially in football, but not the only criteria.

Remember, the Hoosiers were from a small town in the popular 1986 movie that was inspired by the Milan Indians winning the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship.

Chances of that happening in Colorado are slim, but those enthralled by enrollment figures should look at Pomona.

The Panthers were the 2015 state runner-up in Class 5A football and topranked this season. Pomona also won the state wrestling championship, was the boys state track winner and are the two-time state gymnastics champs.

Mustangs grid title bid ends earlier than team wants Ralston Valley loses tough battle in first round of state playoffs

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Game summary: Ralston Valley played Cherry Creek even for three quarters but, unfortunately for the Mustangs, the Bruins scored two first quarter touchdowns and won 14-0 in their first round of the Class 5A State Football Playoffs played at the Stutler Bowl.

“We responded after those first two drives,” Ralston Valley Coach Matt Loyd said after the game. “We bowed our necks it the battle that was a real physical football game. We came close to putting some points on the board in the fourth quarter. If that had happen that may have given us the boost we needed to mount a challenge. But Cherry Creek is a great team from a great program and I wish them the best as they move forward in the playoffs.”

Key moments: Cherry Creek scored two touchdowns in the first quarter which was all they needed. The game became a tough, hard-nosed battle on both sides of the ball. Neither defense gave up yardage easily. Runners got few yards on the ground and the pass defense for both teams covered receivers like a blanket.

Ralston Valley’s biggest scoring threat was set up by an unusual play.

Cherry Creek picked off a Mustang pass and turned up the field. But the Mustang tackler knocked the ball free and a teammate TreVaughn Rhodes recovered the fumble near midfield.

The Mustangs mixed runs and passes to set up a first-and-goal on the 8-yard line. But the Bruins put on a classic goal line stand, stopped the drive and took over on their own five yard line.

Key players/statistics: Statistics for the game weren’t available but the team did statistics for the 10 regular season games. About 60 percent of the Mustangs attack was passing

His teammate Colby Keiter made 53 solo tackles and had 34 assists for 87 total plus three sacks.

They said it: “We have 30 seniors on the team and this is a hard time for them,” Coach Loyd said after taking time to meet with all his seniors after the game. “Unless you win the last game of the year, and only one team does that, playing the final game for seniors is a tough time and it is a tough time for me as the coach because I know these young men and I will miss every one of them next season. It is only right to spend oneon-one time with them to thank them for their work and efforts and tell them how much I enjoyed coaching them.”

D’Evelyn’s season ends with 41-7 loss

BY BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — It seemed like the entire town of La Junta came to Trailblazer Stadium for the Tigers’ Class 2A state football quarterfinal game against D’Evelyn.

No. 1-seeded La Junta didn’t disappoint its loyal fans that made the 3-hour drive to Lakewood on Nov. 12. The Tigers (11-0) moved into the semifinals for the second straight season with a dominating 41-7 victory over the No. 9 Jaguars.

“They are good. They are No. 1 for a reason,” D’Evelyn coach Jeremy Bennett said of La Junta that has won 21 of 22 games dating back to last season. “We knew we had to play perfect and we didn’t, not even close. They are good and we didn’t play well.”

La Junta sophomore Jon Nuschy was more than just good Saturday afternoon. The Tigers’ quarterback had 17 carries for 116 yards on the ground and a touchdown. He was even more impressive through the air going 9-for-11 for 154 yards and four touchdowns.

“It’s just our offensive line,” Nuschy said. “They block good and we werej ust on point today.”

Nuschy broke the game open late in the second quarter with a 73-yard touchdown pass on a screen play to senior Deron Bletson with 1:43 remaining before halftime to push the Tigers’ lead to 21-0.

After a quick 3-and-out for D’Evelyn (8-3 record), La Junta got the ball back in good field position.

Nuschy connected with junior Kain DiRezza for a 3-yard touchdown five seconds before halftime.

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

Answers

D’Evelyn had just one first-down in the opening half, which came on a pass interference call. The Jaguars did have an offensive highlight early in the second half.

Junior quarterback Chad Dines hooked up with junior Cody Bell for a 67-yard touchdown in the opening minute of the second half.

However, La Junta scored back-toback touchdowns within 30 seconds early in the fourth quarter to stretch the lead to 41-7. Nuschy hit senior Izahiah Peteque for a 39-yard touchdown strike.

“I don’t know we expected it,” Buderus said of the easy victory.

“D’Evelyn is a good football team.

They present a lot of challenges with how well they throw the football and mixing in the running game. They are tough.”

D’Evelyn closed out its first sea-

son playing at the 2A level. Bennett will have to replace 17 seniors from this year’s squad. The Jaguars have made the postseason in back-toback years.

“I lose some legacy kids. The Kehoes have been around forever.

The Balbins have been around forever. Now those kids are gone.

That’s hard,” Bennett said about graduating some of the youngest brothers — Justin Kehoe and Nolan Balbin — of families that have come through D’Evelyn’s football program. “We’ll all heal from this and be better people for it. It does stink right now.”

New national parks book makes vacationing easy ABOUT THE BOOK

You already called your seat.

Driver’s side, second row, right by the finest view of the road. It’s the best place for wind in your hair, sun on your face and the vacation of your life...

This year, you’re going on a ride, and with “National Parks Guide U.S.A.” by National Geographic Kids, you’ll make the most out of your time.

Imagine what the United States looked like four centuries ago.

You’d probably see tall grasses, wild animals, huge trees and mountains.

The good news is that you’ll see those exact things – looking just as early Americans saw them – in the over 84-million acres we call our national parks.

Wow. Why do we have so much parkland?

A hundred years ago, President Theodore Roosevelt “made it his mission” to preserve as much natural land as possible,“ so that future generations could enjoy” it. So what’s your family interested in seeing this summer? Do

You can tour the Everglades in Florida, or bathe in a hot spring in Arkansas. In the Midwest, the Badlands aren’t bad at all for hiking. You can also thank Theodore Roosevelt personally by visiting his national park in North Dakota.

Visit the world’s longest cave in South Dakota, go whitewater rafting at a national park in Texas or look for desert animals in New Mexico. And you can’t, of course, miss the Grand Canyon! It’s amazing.

In the West, there are forests to see and lots of spooky sites. There’s

There are “ranger tips” here, hints on resting and picnicking, and tips for relaxing and taking in the scenery.

For kids who are fit and super active, this book includes “extreme” fun they might find and extra activities they can do.

There are chapters on packing, specifics on animals and endangered creatures, info on unusual monuments and sculptures to visit near the parks Glacier National Park in Montana to and, as you’d expect from the National Notice roam; you can hike Denali inPublic Alaska, Geographic folks, dozens and dozens of ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS see whales in Washington, or visit a full-color pictures.
