Blessings emerge amid veteran’s toughest fight

hristian Redman, 50, sits on the edge of the couch, hands slightly trembling — a side effect of the chemo — as he clasps and unclasps them, a melancholy shadow in his eyes.

For as long as he can remember, Redman — the former Army cavalry scout, the retired police officer, the can-do construction entrepreneur who finds a solution to every problem — has been the one giving to others.

Raising money to help bury a fellow officer’s daughter.

Shopping for toys for needy children at Christmas. Helping Ann Macari organize fundraisers too numerous Healey to count to help a firefighter’s family, a World War II vet running out of money, wounded soldiers.

“It seems like someone was always needing help,” Redman says. “You can’t say no.”

But the past year and a half have hit Redman hard: A sudden diagnosis of stage four colon cancer and the subsequent needed medical care have

ANN MACARI HEALEY upended his burgeoning construction business, wiped out his savings and left him unable to work and pay his bills.

And now, he finds himself on the receiving end of the good will he so generously gave to others.

For him, it’s not an easy place to be.

“It’s hard to accept help,” Redman says, his voice low and quiet. “I’m used to doing everything on my own.

I never thought I would need one for me. It’s humbling, very humbling.”

‘We all go through hard times’ The “one” is a fundraiser, held Dec. 9 at Takoda Tavern in Parker. Redman’s friends, Ron Meier and Bob Nobles, no strangers to doing for others, organized the benefit when they learned of Redman’s predicament.

Meier is president of the homeowners’ association of the Parker condominiums where Redman lives. Nobles owns Takoda Tavern, a well-known hangout for veterans tucked in a nondescript, small shopping strip.

The decision to “Call out the Cavalry for Christian,” as the sign on the placard advertising the fundraiser reads, was easy.

“He’s got a heart of gold,” Meier, 58, says of Redman. “We all go through hard times, right? Any one of us could end up with unfortunate circumstances.”

Meier, Nobles and Redman, along with Aaron Davis and Mac McCrory, organized a benefit two years ago for Jack Frank, a WWII veteran who was running out of money.

Extending a helping hand, building community, they said then, is what matters in this world.

Gold Award Girl Scout: Melissa Wilson

Castle Rock resident raises awareness on behalf of deaf community

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

This is the first in a four-part series interviewing this year’s Girl Scout Gold Award recipients from Castle Rock.

Four Castle Rock Girl Scouts recently received their Gold Award, the highest honor in the organization.

The Girl Scout Gold Award is a seven-step project in which girls strive to solve a community problem.

Girl Scouts of Colorado Highest Awards Manager Aimee Bianca said the process has a lasting effect on the Girl Scouts.

“They learn so many things, but they really learn how to manage a project efficiently and communicate with adults,” Bianca said. “For the girls, it means that they have the power to create change in their community in a meaningful way and that they have the power to pull together a team of people who support the things they are about.”

One of this year’s Gold Award recipients, Melissa Wilson, is a Castle View High School graduate and student at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where she is majoring in English with minors in business administration and writing. She answered questions about her Gold Award project and about its impact on her and her community.

Why did you join the Girl Scouts?

I initially participated in Girl Scouts as a young girl because it looked like fun. I decided to stick with Girl Scouts because of the sisterhood.

What was your Girl Scout Gold Award project and what were its goals?

My Gold Award project was raising awareness for the deaf community in Castle Rock, and the world.

I created a website, held community presentations, created a Facebook page, brochures and YouTube videos in the hopes to educate the hearing population on how to interact with the deaf community and teach basic American Sign Language (ASL).

Looking back, what do you think you were able to accomplish through this project?

I was able to come out of my shell a little, seeing as I needed to talk to people in the community that I had not yet previously spoken to.

How do you think this project has impacted your local community of Castle Rock and the nearby areas? Were you able to learn more about your own community by doing it?

Castle Rock actually has a decent size deaf population. Several teachers as Castle View are deaf, some of whom are also married to deaf people. While I cannot see my impact on the deaf population directly, I can see that I educated hearing people in Castle Rock who are able to use that knowledge when they come across a deaf person in the community. I learned that the community around me is so supportive of young adults and wanted to help me in every way possible.

How did this project influence you and what did you personally learn from it?

This project influenced me by opening my eyes to new issues that need to be dealt with. I feel like I am a more active citizen because of it. Personally, I feel as though I learned business skills and public speaking skills that I will be able to use going forward in my education career.

For more information on the Gold Award and this year’s recipients, visit the Girls Scouts of Colorado blog at gscoblog.org.

Jewish center hosts menorah lighting in park Hanukkah celebration held in amphitheater; rabbi hopes to repeat next year

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Blue lights illuminated a crowd gathered on stage at the Philip S. Miller Park Amphitheater in Castle Rock the evening of Dec. 13 as they sang in celebration of Hanukkah.

While their voices rang out, a young volunteer assisted Rabbi Avraham Mintz in lighting a menorah.

Mintz, of the Chabad Jewish Center of South Metro Denver, led the event recognizing the Jewish holiday, which runs from Dec. 12-20. It was the first time the center organized a public menorah lighting in Castle Rock. Mintz hoped the event would inspire the community as a whole, including Jewish and non-Jewish people, he said.

“Hanukkah is a universal message for people of all backgrounds,” he said following the menorah lighting.

“Goodness, kindness, light always outshines darkness.”

Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish holiday honoring the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following religious persecution of Jews in ancient Israel.

Those gathered for the Dec. 13 event cheered once the menorah was lit and

Mintz handed out Hanukkah-themed fidget spinners and greeted people with “Happy Hanukkah” throughout the night.

For Natalia Henley, the event was a special opportunity to teach her children about their heritage. Although she now lives in Founders Village, Henley was born and raised in Israel.

She attended with her three children and said it was meaningful to have a menorah lighting in her new hometown.

“It’s nice that I can keep it close to my heart,” Henley said, “and my customs and my traditions and expose my children to it just like I was exposed to it growing up.”

Mintz said the turnout, which he estimated to be about 50 people, was a good start. He hopes to bring it back

Douglas County Senior Foundation provides critical support Organization has no endowment, so donations are crucial to its mission

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Each year, members of the Douglas County Senior Foundation strive to collect as many donations as they can in order to provide grants for area nonprofits supporting the county’s senior population.

Unlike other foundations, said treasurer Brian Kirstein, theirs does not operate off an endowment fund.

“We’re very dependent on our donations. We’re not a typical foundation,” he said. “We have to raise money every year to make this work.”

And with no revenue, the foundation is run by a group of loyal volunteers who each year review grant applicants vying for the money.

“Each organization will ask for more than what we can usually provide,” said board member Nikki Hoy. Still, the group gives what they can, also with the help of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, which matches their funds up to $15,000.

“Every member donates,” board president Bob Epstein said of the foundation’s volunteers.

Karie Erickson, executive director of Neighbor Network, said the foundation’s work is critical not only for the organizations receiving grants but also for the seniors they serve. The Neighbor Network is a nonprofit providing services such as housekeeping, transportation and care management to seniors.

“They make it possible for all of us direct service providers to continue touching the lives of seniors,” she said of the foundation. “Every one of those members have such a heart and such a passion for the seniors of Douglas County. They have given so much to promoting not only independence for our seniors but then also the care that

w b a ‘ R n goes along with when they need sup- t portive services.” o Neighbor Network, one of this p year’s six grant recipients, will use thed money to support its companionship program, Erickson said. The program t asks volunteers to provide outreach i c and supportive relationships to sei niors living in isolation.

E “One of the biggest issues facing seniors is isolation,” foundation board r c member Al Wonstolen said.

This year’s five other grant recipi- t E ents were the Parker Senior Center, o the Castle Rock Senior Center, the t Douglas/Elbert Task Force and the t Sky Cliff Center.

S Manager of the Parker Senior Center, Jan Dengal, said they will use d their grant to support the center’s g meal program, through which they s provide 8,000 lunches annually to seniors and the community at large.

The center charges $4 a meal, unless s m an individual is unable to pay. c “We never turn anybody away, so we keep the costs as low as we can,” C Dengal said. “It’s been a real valuable t sort of starting place to bring seniors q that are normally shut in or grounded,o who can’t get out, to come in and get a i r hot, nutritious meal.” c Dengal said the Douglas County Senior Foundation provides the kind t of support their center needs to func- o tion, and commended its members for a t their work.

“They’ve just been wonderful to us,” fi she said.

Money from the foundation has helped grant winners with a number of different uses, from companionship programs, to meal programs to expanding the Castle Rock Senior Center, Wonstolen said.

The group is already accepting donations for next year. They hope to collect them online in the future, but for now money must be mailed to the foundation. More information on donating and applying for grants is available on their website, douglascountyseniorfoundation.com.

“They all struggle for money,” board vice president Sandy McCurdy said of grant applicants. “Everything helps.”

School board hears recommendations on financial literacy education Discussion on the subject is slated to continue

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Personal financial literacy is an important skill for Douglas County students to develop, some school board members said at a Dec. 12 board of education meeting, where recommendations for how to better implement the subject were presented. But costs, school preference and other priorities in the district should come first, they said.

“I think one of the things that we want to do more of as a governing board is to be clear about the ‘what’ and let the schools figure out the ‘how,’ ” said board President David Ray. “My sense right now is that we need to be careful that we don’t adopt these recommendations because all of a sudden we are micromanaging or pushing down into our schools how to do this.”

Financial literacy enables students to manage and understand finances, including bank accounts, budgets, credit, debt and investments, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Right now, only 17 states require high school students to take a course in personal finance, according to a 2016 survey from the Council for Economic Education, which focuses on the economic and financial education of students from kindergarten through high school across the United States. Colorado is not one of them.

Under Colorado academic standards, schools are required to integrate financial literacy into social studies classes.

Since May of this year, former school board member Steven Peck has made it his goal to strengthen financial-literacy education in Douglas County. The former board of education passed a resolution in July requesting staff to compile information on current financial literacy offerings in Douglas County schools. The results, presented by Matt Reynolds, chief assessment and data officer for the school district, at an Oct. 17 board of education meeting, show that about a quarter of high school students are taking a course that includes some financial literacy.

Peck also spearheaded the creation of a financial literacy task force, which over several months researched trends and presented its findings at the Dec. 12 board meeting. The task force, made up of parents, former board members and established business professionals, found that the risks of not managing finances are increasing, obstacles achieving financial security are increasing, the global market competition is increasing and consequences of mistakes can be severe.

Peck was appointed to the school board to fill a vacant seat in November 2016. His seat was up in the Nov. 7 election, but he chose not to run.

The task force also gave several recommendations, including elevating the priority of financial literacy, modifying the graduation requirement to include financial literacy and making financial literacy a component of a capstone project.

Peck said there is a “moral obligation” to prepare students for financial security in the future. He urged the board to utilize no-cost or low-cost options, such as Junior Achievement, a volunteer-based organization that provides programs that teach workreadiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills.

“All of us will have an auto payment,” Peck said to board members. “Hopefully, all of us will have a mortgage.”

Board member Anne-Marie Lemieux wasn’t in favor of the recommendations.

“Changing graduation requirements is extremely expensive,” said Lemieux, adding that the topic is “incredibly important.” She said she supports teachers pre-K through high school in implementing the state standards on financial literacy.

Board member Krista Holtzmann voiced concerns about other priorities in the district, including funding in secondary schools and the strength of world language and AP classes. She doesn’t minimize the need for financial literacy, she said, but there are other needs to identify and address.

The board will continue to discuss financial-literacy education options in Douglas County and will have district staff review the recommendations.

“If any of this is implemented then we need to go through a cost analysis and make sure that we are making good decisions,” Ray said.

$390.8 million Douglas County budget approved by commissioners for 2018

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When it comes to the county budget, Douglas County commissioners have placed the largest emphasis on public safety and transportation in recent years. That will remain true in 2018, although even more focus will be shifted to transportation after com-

munity surveys found residents are increasingly concerned with traffic and congestion.

Commissioners approved the $390.8 million budget for 2018 on Dec. 12, in which $197.7 million is for ongoing operating expenditures and $156.8 million for one-time costs.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Douglas County School District employee was arrested Dec. 8 on charges of sexual exploitation of a child after the principal of the school where he was working called police to report inappropriate behavior and allegedly shooting video with a cell phone up the skirts of girls and women.

Steven Michael Jenkins, 54, is charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a child, a class 4 felony. He was released from jail on Dec. 11 on a $5,000 bond, Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman Lauren Jenkins LeKander said. He is no longer employed with the school district, a DCSD spokeswoman said.

Records show he has court appearances on Dec. 14 and in January.

Throughout their investigation, detectives discovered approximately 20 “upskirt” videos of an estimated 10 women on Jenkins’ phone, in addition to three juvenile victims, according to the arrest affidavit.

Jenkins has been teaching for nearly 30 years, the affidavit says. At the time of his arrest he was working as a “facilitator of innovation” for Renaissance Secondary School, which hosts grades six through 10, in Castle Rock, where he had been employed since May. Jenkins worked as a math teacher for Castle View High School from August 2014 until he began working at Renaissance.

According to the affidavit, the principal at Renaissance, Debbie Rabideau, told a Castle Rock police officer on Dec. 3 she’d received reports from two students saying they witnessed Jenkins use his phone to take upward pictures or videos of female students wearing short shorts or skirts.

The report says Jenkins worked as

an instructional coach at the school and did not teach or issue grades to the students making the allegations or the alleged victims. Rabideau told police Jenkins did not have a districtissued phone and the device in question would be a personal one.

On Dec. 4, the Castle Rock police officer returned to the school and interviewed Jenkins. Jenkins allowed the officer to search his phone and signed a permission form after being told there were reports he’d sent threatening text messages, the affidavit says.

Jenkins told the officer he had nothing to hide.

After searching his text messages, the officer told Jenkins he’d also received reports of him taking inappropriate pictures of students, which Jenkins denied. Together, Jenkins and the officer scrolled through photos on the phone.

When the officer opened the videos tab, he noticed videos filmed at unusual angles, the report says, including

still shots of floors, walls and ceilings.

After the officer clicked on a video, Jenkins “suddenly reached for the phone and attempted to take it away,” the affidavit says. Jenkins first said his reaction was because the videos were of his wife.

Jenkins went on to say there were “accidental” videos filmed up adult women’s skirts, women he did not know. Jenkins then changed his story to say the woman was a friend. Jenkins also said he had a video of his ex-wife, but that she had not given consent for him to film her, the affidavit says.

Jenkins denied ever filming students.

The officer asked Jenkins why he had such videos, to which he replied he knew taking the videos was “stupid” and described it as a sexual thing.

As a result of the interview, the officer seized Jenkins’ phone and schoolissued laptop as evidence.

The affidavit says students did not report having conflicts with Jenkins, and that he was well-liked at the school.

Migration out of Colorado reaches record in 2016 ASSOCIATED PRESS

A record number of residents have moved out of Colorado, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

New annual figures from the bureau’s American Community Survey show that Colorado saw its first drop in about a decade last year in the number of people arriving from other states, while those leaving Colorado hit a record high.

The result was the lowest netmigration number — 30,000 total new residents — in seven years.

About 193,000 Colorado residents moved away last year, 10,000 more than in 2015, according to the data. Meanwhile, 223,000 people moved into the state, down about 4,000 from the year before, though still well above recent years.

“We are seeing that there has been an increase in outs — the highest on record,” said state demographer Elizabeth Garner.

The Census Bureau survey numbers do not include people who have moved to the state from abroad. And because the counts are based on surveys, the margin of errors can be large, especially when looking at movements to and from individual states, The Denver Post reported .

Tax-return counts from the IRS show that Colorado experienced a big jump

in both households arriving and leaving from other states last year versus 2015.

But on the whole, net migration among people who filed tax returns isn’t declining.

Home prices in metropolitan Denver are up 57 percent the past eight years through October, as measured by the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price indices. The average apartment rent since mid-2009 is up 63.6 percent, according to rent figures from the Apartment Association of Metro Denver.

The average hourly wage, by contrast, rose from $25.07 to $28.94, an increase of only 15.4 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Meanwhile, Colorado’s population grew by 11 percent from 2009 to 2016, to 5.55 million residents.

Professionals in real estate and moving businesses say they aren’t yet seeing a slack in the number of people moving here.

“I suppose if we had negative or slowing migration numbers, then, yes, it could help the constrained market.

But I have not experienced that yet and would be surprised to see a slower market in 2018,” said Steve Thayer, chairman of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors and owner of the Keller Williams Action Realty office in Castle Rock.

BUDGET FROM PAGE 7

“I do remember starting to go through this in March,” Commissioner Lora Thomas said of the 176page document. “I have been very amazed by all the work and how everyone has pulled together.”

The county has been working to create the 2018 budget since March and finalized the document in early December. Most of the commissioners’ discussion took place in their regular work sessions, but assistant budget director Martha Marshall gave one last presentation Dec. 12 before the board unanimously approved the final product.

Most important, Marshall said, is that it’s a balanced budget, something required by state law.

The budget also includes some new features for the upcoming year, namely the creation of a new “infrastructure fund,” which Marshall said is meant to heighten spending transparency, particularly as it pertains to transportation.

Like the name suggests, the fund will support major transportation infrastructure projects using prop-

erty tax dollars. Before its creation, the money would have been placed into the county’s general fund where, because of the general fund’s size, the money “gets kind of hidden or lost,” Marshall said.

From the infrastructure fund in 2018, $15 million will go toward improving U.S. Highway 85 from Highlands Ranch Parkway to County Line Road and $5 million will help relocate the west Interstate 25 Frontage Road, located south of Castle Rock.

In total, $151.9 million of the budget will be utilized for roads and transportation infrastructure.

Commissioners hope this will speak to the more than 70 percent of community survey respondents who did not believe traffic congestion in the county to be improving.

Marshall, an integral part of the budget process, said she is proud of the numerous financial partnerships between the county and governmental agencies or organizations across the state. The full budget document is available on the county website, douglas.co.us.

“All departments, all elected officials,” Board of County Commissioiners Chairman Roger Partridge said during the budget meeting, “we really appreciate the financially conservative approach.”

Start new year off on right (or left) foot First Day Hikes encourages outdoor recreation at state parks STAFF REPORT

Kick off the new year by getting outside and taking a hike.

Colorado State Parks and Wildlife will again participate in America’s State Parks First Day Hikes initiative, with 26 state parks participating by hosting an organized hike Jan. 1. Each park offers an opportunity to enjoy the new year, with most parks offering guided hikes and some parks providing multiple options to choose from, allowing you to select the time and route you prefer.

“Each year, we’ve had a growing number of our parks offering First Day Hikes events as part of this national effort to get people outdoors and into state parks,” said Bob Broscheid, Colorado State Parks director. “First Day Hikes are a great way to cure cabin fever and celebrate the new year in our amazing state with a walk our hike in one of our beautiful state parks.”

Visitors to Colorado State Parks can expect to be surrounded by nature in winter, experience spectacular views and, in many parks, benefit from the company of a knowledgeable state

park guide on hikes ranging from halfmile fun walks to challenging fivemile hikes. In addition, most parks offer refreshments and giveaways provided by a Colorado Parks Foundation grant.

“Getting outside is the best way to bring in a new year and Colorado state parks showcase all the best things about the outdoors,” said Crystal Dreiling, park manager at Trinidad Lake State Park, one of the participating parks. “We are thrilled to have seen this event continue to grow since we started the program in 2012.”

The hikes are free but park visitors must possess a valid parks pass to participate. The daily pass for entry to most parks costs $7 per vehicle; annual passes are available for $70. All First Day Hikes vary in ability levels and length depending on location and weather conditions. Bring snacks and water, dress in layers and be prepared with traction and/or trekking poles for winter hiking in snow or on icy trails; if there is snow, consider bringing snowshoes.

First Day Hikes was created to offer everyone an opportunity to begin the new year rejuvenating and connecting with the outdoors at a state park close to home.

According to the National Association of State Park Directors, 1,300 First Day Hikes were offered in all 50 states in 2017, with 61,800 participants covering more than 111,850 miles.

VOICES Looking for good things is a matter of life and life

A

reader reminded me that it’s time for my annual “What Makes Life QUIET Worth Living” top 10 list.

DESPERATION She also reminded me that I listed our neighborhood rabbits years ago. I had forgotten. I forget more and more these days.

However, I forget some things I wish I didn’t, and can’t forget some things I Craig Marshall wish I could.

These lists are imSmith pulsive. I could write a different one each day for a month.

Good music and good films would be on

every list. Other things would appear and disappear, depending upon the moment and the whim.

I would include McDonalds’ French fries, but then I would hear my doctor say “poison,” and remove them.

He says the same thing about Diet Coke. I have tried to wean. But asking for “sparkling water” just doesn’t sound right, coming out of an old piece of crust like me.

Coffee? Absolutely.

God and gods don’t make my lists.

This isn’t the place.

Jennifer? She’s at the top now. If you’re a faithful reader, you know why.

I realize this could be an opportunity to show off, and list something that might make me look good, or worldly.

Arromanches-les-Bains, France.

Great towels and sumptuous views.

I haven’t left the country.

I have been to the Degas room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it needs to be on the list. If not this year, next year.

Likewise, the wall-length (502 inches) Monet at the Museum of Modern Art. Let’s get started.

Jennifer.

The English language. Not drabble, spew and slang: clarity, concision and cleverness.

“Stardust” by Louie Armstrong, recorded on November 4, 1931. The trumpet intro, the syncopation, and Armstrong’s vocal cadence are brilliant. Someone said “he sounds like he is gargling peanut butter.”

Peanut butter could be, should be, on

the list. There’s not enough room this time around.

The best part of waking up is waking up. The second best part of waking up is a bowl of hot, black coffee.

Memories, good ones, old ones, new ones. Strange ones.

Walking into my eighth-floor art studio at UCLA and seeing Tony Curtis, sitting on a stool in the middle of the room. He was taking life drawing classes with my mentor. Thought I knew where he was. I didn’t.

“City Lights.” I have yet to watch the ending without tears in my eyes.

Documentaries. I can’t get enough of them. And I watch, and watch again, every episode of “Modern Marvels.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Just a handy slogan The new school board has just decided that a monopoly education system controlled by them is the best for all students, ignoring any differences or desires for alternate educational paths that parents may have. One size fits all. We know best and that’s what you are going to get. The only choice will be the one we give you, which isn’t any choice at all.

Educating students in matters of finance isn’t something they think is important so it got blown off by David Ray et al as “too expensive,” the standard excuse that is trotted out when you have no reasonable argument. In almost the same

breath, he pushes for an across-the-board raise for all school administration immediately, regardless of budget constraints. What happened to “Kids First,” the campaign slogan? I guess that was just a slogan, not something that requires any follow through.

Well, at least now I will know how to vote when the matter of increased school funding comes up in a future election. It’ll be sold as a “Kids First” need but then the money will go to other things. Hey, it worked during the campaign, so why not use it again?

immy Buffett sings about a tattoo being a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.

Maybe for some that’s true, and for others, their tattoo carries a reminder of something powerful and meaningful to them. It will be with them forever.

Whenever my family would take a WINNING vacation to the Jersey Shore, I would take them all out on a boat and we WORDS would go crabbing. I would take them to the same places that I fished and crabbed with my grandfather. It is a memory built for them and one that they still talk about, and one that, surely, I will remember forever as well.

I love when I hear or read stories about someone’s relative or friend who built that bridge, that school, Michael Norton that building, or that house. Or someone who worked on the railroad or pipeline decades ago, a railroad or pipeline that still exists and serves us to this day.

Have you stopped recently and thought about what you are building or have built? Maybe sometimes we feel like we are only in the here and now and that whatever our job is, it is only for today and not for tomorrow. If we are only there for the paycheck, we are missing a huge opportunity, regardless of the position we have. Who knows where that company will go, who will lead it, or maybe who will acquire it one day. But if you played any part of the company’s success, you built something that will last for a very long time.

Perhaps we have lost sight of the fact that even within our families and in our family time, we have the

opportunity to build memories that will last forever. We are raising children who will one day grow up and change the world in some way. And they will raise children who will someday have an impact on this world too. Could be a small or little impact, or who knows, they could be the next Bill Gates.

This idea of instant gratification and getting caught up in what we can have right now has eroded our ability to think of the overall contribution we can make at home, at work, and in our community. The “now” is here, in this moment, as you read this column. And everything we do right now builds something for someone in the future.

Maybe it’s your child who crosses the bridge you painted. Maybe your friend’s cousin lives in that house you helped build. Maybe your great-grandchild gets a job at the company you worked for. Maybe hundreds or thousands sleep in a shelter you helped fund. Maybe someone you know or love, or someone generations from now is cured through a therapy you helped to create.

The worst permanent reminder of a temporary feeling isn’t a tattoo, regardless of how silly that one tattoo was.

No, the worst permanent reminder of a temporary feeling is when we look back and say I wish I would have done this or I wish I would have participated in that. It doesn’t RUSSELL

matter what age we are, we can all contribute to something that will be permanent. Something that will make a difference in this world, big or small.

If you want someone to have a permanent and positive memory of you, love them, love on them, forgive them. If you have wronged them in any way, reach out and make up for it if you can. It’s never too late to create new things, build new and permanent places in someone’s heart. It’s never too late to start appreciating our jobs, our roles, and all that we have a chance to contribute to in this life.

All we have to do is replace the temporary feelings with a permanent belief system. We can do all of this while enjoying the “now” for exactly what it is, the “now.”

And yet looking past the “now,” and into the future, here we are at the end of one year and looking into the next.

As we prepare for this next year, as we get ready to launch into next year, let’s think about doing so with a sense of permanence and longevity, because together, we are building the future.

So how about you? Are you caught up and stuck in the “Now” kind of thinking? Or do you know that you have a much bigger role in this world? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can focus on the “Now” moments of our lives and how they contribute to the bigger picture and the future for all of us, it really will be a better than good week.

Janet Louise Spitz Russell 6/7/37 – 11/17/17

Stefen Nemes

Janet was a beautiful woman -- dedicated to her children and her husband, an artist who sought and created beauty in this life and a deeply religious person who was a seeker of truth. Janet was a vibrant and active child, with lots of curiosity about life. Her family lived in many cities and towns all along the front range from Denver to Colorado Springs. But her favorite childhood home was in Evergreen, CO, where she would ice skate on the lake with her older sister, Norma, and her parents, George and Lois Spitz. Janet graduated from Loretto Heights Catholic College in Denver, CO in 1959 with a Bachelor of Arts in Art. That year she met the man who would become her life partner at the annual Air Force Academy/Loretto Ball.

She married George Kenneth “Ken” Russell on July 30, 1960 and they celebrated their 55th Anniversary the summer before Ken died in January of 2016. Together they raised four children, Julia McKay, Jeff (Terie) Russell, Ann Engel, and Allison (Joe) Stewart, in Castle Rock, Colorado. Janet was the heartbeat of her home.

She devoted countless hours to caring for the well-being of her family. She was always available with a listening ear, activities and crafts to do, stories to read, and good food to eat. Janet later became “Grandma” to eight beautiful grandchildren, Park Russell, Chloe Russell, Isaac Stewart, Ben Stewart, Ethan Engel, Kim Stewart, Tim Stewart and Adam Engel. Janet was also a lover of the great outdoors.

She would take walks in nature with her children and

A funeral Mass will be held in her honor at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 2746 5th Street in Castle Rock, CO, 80104 on January 6, 2018, 1:00pm. Recitation of the rosary will begin at 12:30pm.

A light lunch reception will be held following the service.

In lieu of gifts or flowers, a tribute contribution can be made in memory of Janet Russell to: “Maryknoll,” a Catholic organization fighting world poverty that Janet donated to regularly.

How something is made, like a toothbrush, captivates me.

Blue. Blue skies, blue eyes, blueberry pies.

Let’s go Blue, “Am I Blue?,” “Kind of Blue,” “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.”

That’s nine.

Who am I leaving out? “Whom,” that’s who.

I left out my house, my home. I can’t do that. This is the best place on earth.

I haven’t traveled far, but I know the difference between my home and anyplace else.

Being home, staying home, coming home.

The only sounds I hear now are my own sighs of contentment. (I lived in an apartment, the walls were so thin I could hear my neighbor’s stomach conjugate his lunch.)

I know my house was built fast (I watched, 1993), and it looks like all of the others. But inside, it’s one of a kind.

OBITUARIES

12/12/1934 - 11/21/2017

grandchildren always pointing out beauty along the way and collecting seed pods and other things to make some beautiful arrangement for her home. Janet was a woman with a deep faith in God. In 1966, she became a lifelong member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church where she made many beloved friends, sang in the choir, and blessed the church with her artful creations — beautiful banners, altar cloths, and finely decorated candles. Janet bravely walked with Parkinson’s disease for 25+ years, but was one who never gave up hope — and in the last years, strived to live more vibrantly and meaningfully than ever. We will miss your enduring love, Janet Louise Spitz Russell. Rest in Peace.

Seasonal cheers with

holiday beers

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The holidays are a time to gather together with friends, family, co-workers and other near and dear ones.

And to make that time a little more delicious, and possibly more bearable, many local breweries produce holiday and winter brews specifically for the season.

“The great thing about beer is how it brings people together. More than any other time of year, the holidays bring together family and friends in celebration time and time again,” explained Todd Usry, president and brewmaster at Breckenridge Brewery,

Local breweries add orange, gingerbread, spices and other flavors

headquartered in Littleton. “Seasonals allow us to get creative using ingredients that are common that time of year, introduce styles that have historic relevance to the time of year, or brew a beer that has flavors that reflect the emotions of the season.”

At Breckenridge, they offer a Christmas Ale, the Holidale which is a variation of the Christmas Ale that has rested in whiskey barrels, and a Nitro Chocolate Orange Stout, while at Arvada’s Odyssey Beerwerks, they offer Oh Snap!, a spiced winter ale that includes winter cookie spicing and sweet orange peel.

“We want our holiday brews to be fun, but not too SEE BEERS, P16

A DEEP DIVE INTO HOLIDAY BEERS Breckenridge Brewery Christmas Ale — Breckenridge has been brewing the ale since 1993. It’s a fullflavored, well-balanced ale with lots of malty flavor and a warming 7.1 percent ABV (alcohol by volume). No spices are added to the recipe, but it has a hint of spice courtesy of Chinook and Mount Hood hops.

Holidale — A variation of Christmas Ale that has rested in whiskey barrel for several months. The barrels add notes of oak and whiskey to the caramel sweetness of Christmas Ale. Nitro Chocolate Orange Stout — An entry into the brewery’s Nitro Series is a roasty stout brewed with orange zest and locally sourced Cholaca, pure liquid cacao. The brew is topped by the velvety texture of the nitrogen head.

Through December, the Christmas Ale is available in six-packs and 12-packs, a five-liter mini keg that holds 10

pints, and a very limited supply of 240 one-liter gift bottles, signed and handlabeled by the elves at Breckenridge Brewery. The one-liter gift bottles are sold at the Farm House at Breckenridge Brewery, 2920 Brewery Lane in Littleton.

Holidale is available in 22-ounce bombers through December.

The Nitro Chocolate Orange Stout is packaged in four-packs of nitrogencharged cans and can be purchased through January.

Check out the beer locator (www.breckbrew.com/beer-locator) to find specific stores and pubs that carry them.

Lone Tree Brewing Company Cranberry Saison Horchata stout — A milk stout with chocolate and cinnamon Old Ale — Features gingerbread spices

The holiday beers are available in 22-ounce bombers, available on tap in the Lone Tree Brewing Company tasting room, 8200 Park Meadows Drive, No. 8222, and at several bars across the metro area.

The Cranberry Sasion and Old Ale are currently available, and should be through the end of December. The Horchata Stout will be released right before Christmas, and will be available for the rest of the winter.

Odyssey Beerwerks Oh Snap! — For the second year, the brewery is offering its Oh Snap! Spiced winter ale. It features a rich malt base with biscuit accents complimented by classic winter cookie spicing and sweet orange peel.

Available both on draft and in cans, through the end of the year at Odyssey, 5535 W. 56th Ave. No. 107 and craftbeer centric liquor stores throughout the Denver metro area.

When you live in a place long enough, you develop a routine of going to the same places for a bite to eat, or a quick drink.

But Megan Bucholz wanted to show residents and visitors alike that Denver’s dining scene is a dynamic and delicious place to eat.

To that end, she started Local Table Tours in 2010 with the goal of highlighting some of best bites.

“All our guides are really COMING great, and connect to the ATTRACTIONS food industry,” Bucholz said with a laugh. “But sometimes its fun to get a guide way cooler than I am.”

That’s why this December, Local Table Tours has enlisted Orion Carrington as their newest tour guide. Carrington is known for hosting the Comcast television show, “Let’s Eat,” in addition to Clarke Reader emceeing a variety of events around town including the Denver Burger Battle and RAW Artist — Denver. He’s had segments aired on CNN Travel Channel and interviewed cast members from HBO’s “True Blood” and AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

As Bucholz explains, Carrington will take tourists to a variety of LoDo stops, including Hearth & Dram, Lucky Pie, Euclid Hall, Zoe Ma Ma, Coohills, The Kitchen, Kachina, Poka Lola Social Club, Tap 14 and Vesta.

Moving into 2018, Bucholz is looking to bring coffee and cocktail tours to the area as well.

“We’re always looking for new spins on the tour to develop,” she said. “So often people go to the same place over and over, but we want them to think outside the box.”

Carrington will host a selection of culinary tours in December and January. Custom tour dates and times are also available upon request. For more information, or to book a tour, call 303-909-5747 or visit www.localtabletours.com.

Celebrate the winter solstice outside Anyone who has visited Lakewood’s Bear Creek Lake Park knows it provides some truly spectacular views, not only of wildlife and the metro area, but also the night sky.

Those night sky views make the park, located at 15600 W. Morrison Road, the perfect place to celebrate the first official day of winter at the Winter Solstice Hike, from 6-8 p.m.

Thursday, Dec. 21.

The evening event features a short night hike, followed by a merry gathering around a large campfire for a marshmallow roast and traditional burning of the yule log. Attendees should bring their own mug to enjoy a hot drink.

egy, Frank and his wife no longer worry about having enough to live on until they die.

“We live in a time where there’s a lot of negativity going on,” Nobles, 57, says. “But there’s always something positive in helping people out.”

Nobles’ passions are evident in the American flags and Native American art that cover just about every inch of the tavern walls. He was deeply influenced, he says, by a Native American friend who treated everyone with dignity and kindness. He named his bar and restaurant Takoda, which means “friend to others” among the Lakota Sioux. And although he didn’t serve in the military, he considers all those who did — or do — his family.

Like Redman.

“He’s a good man,” Nobles says. “He served his country and he’s getting dealt a really tough, tough hand. . . . We can all do a little more to help out our kids — they’re all our children.”

During the fundraiser, Meier stands by the donation table near the entrance, thanking people, writing down names and amounts in a dog-eared booklet, meticulously documenting the generosity.

Jack Frank, 92, the WWII vet walks in, cane in hand, and pulls out $75 from his wallet.

“Appreciate that, Jack,” Meier says.

“I wish I could do more.” Frank recounts how he fell recently and injured his ribs. But, he says, “I had to make sure I could be here.”

‘The motto: never quit’ Redman remembers the exact moment his life veered.

5:33 p.m. June 10, 2016. The phone rang. He didn’t really want to answer it. He knew hernias, his first suspicion, weren’t causing his troubles.

The unanswerable questions flooded his mind.

Would he die? Would he wither away to nothing as he’d seen happen to others fighting cancer? He didn’t want to be that person.

A month later, he was in the hospital, undergoing emergency surgery that saved his life. Doctors removed his colon. When he woke, he had an ileostomy bag outside his stomach area to collect the waste products from his body.

He was devastated.

Redman has always been a burly man, 230 pounds, jovial, outgoing, committed to being the best at whatever he did. A cavalry scout for the Army, he was stationed in Germany near the border with the Soviet Union when the Chernobyl nuclear explosion occurred. He later taught armor operations warfare and was called up in the reserves during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He spent 23 years as a police officer in Kentucky before moving back to Parker, where he grew up, to help care for his aging parents.

Here, he began working in construction.

After years of being in charge, he didn’t want to get out of bed.

Then his 16-year-old daughter, Alexis, who lives in Kentucky with his ex-wife, called. “You can’t leave me yet, Daddy,” she told him.

Nine days later, he walked out of the hospital.

The fight has been unrelenting. Chemotherapy, every Tuesday, leaves him breathless, nauseous, trembling, prone to infections and insomnia. Complications have sent him to emergency rooms more than 20 times. He lost 90 pounds.

The stress has revived panic attacks related to PTSD from his Army days.

He is quieter. His shoulders hunch slightly when he stands. There is a heaviness, a worry, in his gaze.

The battle is depleting. And it forces what matters most into focus.

“You learn to forgive a lot when you’re sick,” Redman says. “I learned never to say never — it’s a humbling disease. As they say, pride goeth before the fall. I used to be laser-focused on being the best.

Now, I just want to see my little girl graduate college, walk down the aisle.”

His father, Dave Redman, 77, a retired Navy command master chief, is his constant companion. He

Ron Meier, left, and Bob Nobles, right, organized a fundraiser Dec. 9 at Takoda Tavern in Parker to help retired police officer and veteran Christian Redman with medical and living expenses. Redman is battling an aggressive form of colon cancer.

ANN MACARI HEALEY

HOW TO HELP If you want to donate to veteran and retired police officer Christian Redman’s account to help cover medical and basic living expenses, go to www.gofundme.com/christianredman has accompanied him on every doctor and hospital visit. And when Christian’s spirits dip too low, he helps lift them back up.

“It’s a fight,” Dave Redman says. But “there’s a light at the end of the tunnel — it’s there.”

The disease can’t be cured, Redman says, but the hope is that he can live in remission someday.

So, he prays. And he draws on his military training: “I will win. I will survive. You can’t give up. I’ve never given up, never quit. That’s the motto: Never quit.”

‘Pay it forward’ At Takoda Tavern, a silent auction table hugs the front wall. A few bottles of aged, expensive whiskey.

Several beer bar signs. A Benchmark knife. And more.

Jason Adamson, 37, a Takoda regular from Highlands Ranch, is sitting at the bar. He has bid $500 each for two of the whiskey bottles. He doesn’t know Redman.

“Why not?” he says about his donation. “It’s for a good cause. Bob tells me it’s a good thing. That’s all that matters to me. I feel there’s too many stories out there nowadays that are more sad than happy. That’s what people tend to focus on. Sometimes, the good stories go unmentioned.”

This, the rallying of a community for one of its own, he says, is a good story.

Sam Treat, 54, walks up to Meier at the table, $40 in his hand.

“How does this work?” he asks. An Air Force veteran, he has come from Aurora with his daughter.

He, too, doesn’t know Redman.

“It’s a good cause,” Treat says. “You’ve got to take care of people, always pay it forward. I just hope he gets better.”

Air Force veteran Bob Barns, 84, walks through the door. He hands Meier an envelope that says “from Bill and Jane.” He can’t stay — his grandchil-

dren are visiting — but he had to stop by to support a fellow serviceman.

“I’ve had some medical problems myself, and I just wanted to help a little bit,” says Barns, who also has never met Redman. “I have been very lucky . . . but I may be here someday.”

A belief in humanity Perhaps the most difficult part of this unwanted journey has been losing the ability to support and take care of himself, Redman says.

His monthly insurance premium is about $950. He spends about another $500 a month in co-pays. Then there’s the medicine, the monthly rent, food, other basic living expenses. His $40,000 in savings quickly disappeared once he had to stop working. His business crumbled.

He is in the process of pursuing veterans’ benefits.

But for now, his only income is about $2,000 a month in disability pay, which is enough to cover either medical or living expenses, but not both.

When Meier became aware, through other sources, that Redman was falling behind in his rent, he approached his friend about holding a fundraiser.

Aaron Davis, the condominium complex’s property maintenance manager, also set up a GoFundMe account. The goal altogether: $15,000 to cover Redman’s rent for a year.

As of Dec. 18, a little more than $15,000 had been raised — $10,000 from the Takoda benefit.

The amount humbles Redman. He is amazed at how many people showed up to support him and, of those, how many he didn’t know.

“I am,” he says simply, “very blessed.”

But maybe this blessing is for everyone.

For Meier. And Nobles. And Davis. And Frank and Barns and Adamson and Treat and all the people who looked into their hearts to try to make life a little better for someone who was hurting.

And all of us who share in this story that shines a light on the goodness of humanity, reminding us what matters most: Love for our fellow man, woman and child, especially in the toughest of times.

A musician who blends classic and contemporary covers of jazz, soul and blues, as well as her own writings, Nalani brings an approach to music that you won’t see all that often. She often brings in guest musicians with her, so you never know what the show will be like until she starts playing. For some pre-holiday fun, this is an event to not be missed.

A visit to www.kachinawestminster.com will provide all the info you need.

Martinis with the Griswolds Chevy Chase’s Clark Griswold is perhaps the only person who has a worse time at Christmas than Charlie Brown. But his misadventures are hilarious every time.

On Thursday and Friday, Dec. 21 and 22, people of drinking age and older can head to the University of Colorado South Denver, 10035 S. Peoria St. in Lone Tree, to catch the holiday classic and get their drink on at Movie and Martini: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and the movie begins at 7:30 p.m.

The all-inclusive evening includes two drinks (signature cocktails, beer or wine), a dinner menu prepared

by the in-house culinary team, movie (with popcorn) and the classic film on the big screen. Attendees who arrive early can play trivia to win prizes before the movie begins.

The best Christmas music, live For my money, the soundtrack to 1965’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is the best soundtrack for the holiday season.

The arrangements and compositions of West Coast jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi beautifully captured the youthful and melancholy spirit of Charles Schulz’s comic and characters.

Music fans who feel the same as I do can see this timeless music performed by the Annie Booth Trio, featuring special guest Max Wellman on vocals, Patrick McDevitt on bass, and Alejandro Castaño on drums.

Booth, a Denver-based jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and educator, has received numerous awards for her playing and contributions to the local jazz scene.

“A Charlie Brown Christmas” with Annie Booth is at 5:30 and 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 23 and 24, at Dazzle Denver, 1512 Curtis St. in downtown Denver. Visit www.dazzledenver.com for all you need to know.

over the top. As always, the primary goal is to make a high-quality beer,” said Chris Hill, who runs Arvada’s Odyssey Beerwerks with Deana, his wife.

“We often tell people that ‘dark is a color, not a flavor’ so don’t be afraid of dark beers — especially this one.”

The Lone Tree Brewing Company adds a little fruit and gingerbread to its holiday beers, said Josh West, head brewer at the company.

It also makes a Horchata Stout right before Christmas.

“Our goal is for the beers to not only be consumable independently but also pair well with food when the beer is released,” he added. “We try to think of what types of beer will pair well with the season and create recipes based on popular seasonal flavors.”

As with the holiday season, the beers aren’t around for long. Most can be purchased through December, but some of the winter recipes go through January.

“Like most things in life, when people are happy, everything is more enjoyable. The holidays offer a great time for people to sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment,” Hill said. “Who wouldn’t want a great beer to be a part of that picture?”

Mountain biking champ takes it to next level Elizabeth teen’s intense workouts pay off with a championship

Zac Richardson won the 2017 Colorado High School Cycling League state championships.

His coach, Mark Neel, took Coach of the Year for the south division.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain biking rose from humble beginnings in the 1800s as a simple mode of transportation to a fringe sport in the 1970s. It gained global momentum in 1990 with the first world championships and today is turning out star athletes as young as high school.

And this year, one of those athletes hails from a Douglas County-based team. Zac Richardson, 17, of Elizabeth, took first in this year’s Colorado High School Cycling League state championships in October. His coach, Mark Neel, took coach of the year for the league’s south division.

Neel coaches the Castle Rock Crankers, made up of Castle View High School and Douglas County High School students from Castle Rock.

When a student like Richardson does not have a local team he or she may compete in the league on the team nearest to them.

Between Richardson and Neel are years of experience, a passion for cycling and a contribution to its evergrowing popularity.

Neel has been witness to that growth.

He got his start in competitive mountain biking in 1988 and participated in the 1990 world championship in Durango. The race — first of its kind and officially recognized by cycling’s world governing body, the International Cycling Union — was electric, Neel said.

Mountain biking was still a young sport at the time, he explained, and its athletes were thrilled to see it enter the world stage.

“It was extremely grassroots. We weren’t racing for money or prizes,” he said. “It was very celebratory because it was the first time they had a world championships that was legitimately organized.”

mountain biking’s roots in Colorado also remain strong.

The league in which Richardson and Neel participate, the Colorado High School Cycling League, was founded in 2009 and has grown significantly year by year. Fewer than 200 athletes participated in its first race in 2010. By 2014, more than 600 kids raced in the league, Executive Director Kate Rau said.

“I think it’s super fun and it’s a family-friendly activity where nobody’s benched,” Rau said when asked about what drives the league’s growth.

“I like to think the reason that people keep coming back is that the race experience is pretty exceptional.”

This year, more than 1,200 athletes participated in the Colorado High School Cycling League series. Among them, Richardson, guided by Neel and other mountain biking pros helping to nurture the next generation of athletes.

Richardson’s taking of the state title in Eagle was a year in the making.

“When he made the decision last fall that he really wanted to go after the state championship,” Neel said, “we literally started his training about a week after state championships last year.”

While mountain biking’s early riders rode for the thrill, Neel said, the sport today incorporates serious strategy, also requiring serious training.

The Colorado High School Cycling League’s varsity athletes complete four laps in a race. Each lap averages between five or six miles, Neel said.

Riders often break off into groups to form an alliance, of sort, only to break that bond toward the race’s end when

they make a dash for the finish line.

Each series race course is unique.

This year’s conference championships took place in Nathrop, with the course gaining 520 feet of altitude per lap, according to race reports on the league website, coloradomtb.org. The state championship course was on the Haymaker and Extra Credit trails in Eagle, which are specially designed to support the league’s events.

In training Richardson, they spent days focused on doing long rides and others focused on shorter, high-intensity workouts, such as hill repeats.

“You want your speed to be a factor and you also want to have good endurance,” Richardson said. “Another high-intensity workout is where you go up a climb as hard as you can and then you practice descending, when you’re dead out tired…you’ll get done with a climb and you’ll be destroyed.”

Richardson typically finishes a race between one hour and 20 minutes or one hour and 30 minutes. His winning time at the 2017 state championships was one hour, 30 minutes and 28 seconds, according to online results.

“The last descent that I had right before the finish line, I was just amazed that I actually pulled it off,” Richardson said. “It was a lot of work to get there.”

His passion for the sport is what motivates him, he said, and drives his commitment. In Richardson’s words, mountain biking is the “ultimate escape.”

“You get to ride your bike, you get to do some physical activity, you’re close to nature. You kind of have that little

MOUNTAIN BIKING’S HISTORY Mountain biking had a storied history long before its 1990 world championships in Durango.

The sport has been around in various forms since the 1800s, said Joe Breeze, curator of the Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, previously located in Crested Butte but now headquartered in Fairfax, California.

In an email interview, Breeze explained bikes were used by gold-seekers traveling the Yukon River in the 1890s, and by the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry to travel cross-country. In decades to come, biking helped Americans across unpaved roads and paths, including mountainous terrain, Breeze said.

“These were isolated occurrences,” Breeze wrote. “They came and went without leading to a bigger movement.”

In the 1970s, he said, partially because of advancements in bike manufacturing, bike sales spiked in the U.S. and off-road biking eventually formed as a sport.

“It was as if Americans woke up one morning and said, `Oh, bikes!’ ” Breeze wrote.

Competitive mountain biking took off in Marin County, California, along with the rise of the Repack Downhill race, invented by the Velo Club Mount Tamalpais group.

Marin County locals eventually discovered another band of mountain biking enthusiasts in Crested Butte, Breeze said. The two forces met when Marin locals traveled to Colorado for the 1978 Pearl Pass Klunker Tour.

“Off-road riding was something that had been happening here and there across the country for decades, and now, its time had come,” Breeze wrote. bit of exploration that comes out of you. It’s just really fun,” he said.

Neel’s love of the sport is similar to Richardson’s.

“For me, it’s kind of like flying because you’re just floating across the ground,” Neel said. “It’s almost like riding a rollercoaster with the ups and downs and the twists left and right.”

In coaching, he said, he hopes to create life-long mountain bikers. Watching kids grow is why he does it, Neel said. And in a good sign for the sport, he says once kids join a mountain biking team, they stay friends, and riders, for life.

“To me,” he said, “That’s really rewarding.

Parker joins partnership to bring in art instructors Art Students League of Denver offers boost to programming starting in January

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parker Arts has partnered with the Art Students League of Denver to expand opportunities for its art students to study with national and local instructors, beginning in January. Parker’s executive cultural director, Elaine Mariner, says this will “fill a gap in our programming.” She cites national touring programs in the theater, professional stage shows, professional art in the galleries … and is proud of the “nationally recognized professional artists living in Parker.”

Lorenzo Chavez and Kristine Iltis, who have been teaching at PACE, are also among the more than 200 wellknown artists who teach at ASLD and registration will be through the school this year. Parker artists will be eligible to become ASLD members ($55 a year) and pay a reduced price for classes if they wish — and enroll in additional classes at the busy school at 200 Grant St. in Denver.

The ASLD, which describes itself

Parker artist Lorenzo Chavez in his studio. He will teach landscape painting at PACE, and at the Art Students League of Denver.

COURTESY PHOTOS

IF YOU WANT TO STUDY PAINTING AT PACE A materials list is found at the Art Students League of Denver website. To register, call 303-778-6990 or visit the website at asld. org. as modeled after the Art Students League in New York City, is housed in Denver’s old Sherman School and its Annex. Built in 1893, (annex in 1920) and a national landmark, it houses

classrooms and exhibit space for students and instructors.

Labeled “Richardson Romanesque,” its mellow stone walls invite the artist inside to explore and create. Volunteers plant and maintain gardens filled with native perennials, which invite a painter’s focus, and the school features ongoing events and exhibits.

Chavez, who paints mostly with oils and pastels, will teach ”Fundamentals of Landscape Painting,” a six-week class, held on Mondays from 9 a.m. to noon at PACE, from Jan 22 to Feb. 26,

with a cost of $171/member and $207/ non-member. In the spring, Chavez will offer a four week session: “Painting Landscapes Outdoors,” from April 30 to May 21, with a cost of $114/members and $138/non-members. Basic skills in drawing are needed for both.

See the ASLD website for materials list.

Born in New Mexico, Chavez lives and works in Parker, has exhibited internationally and especially in the western U.S. He maintains a studio in Parker’s Old Schoolhouse.

Kris Ilitis, who has taught oil painting at PACE, will offer “The Wonder of Watercolor” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 2. She says she will offer a “non-traditional Impressionistic approach … helping you to paint outside the lines.” Some basic skills in drawing needed — and she reminds artists to “bring your lunch.

Valor Point provides a temporary home for the brave Lakewood facility offers therapy, plus employment and housing services

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One of the 37 single-person rooms in Lakewood’s Valor Point residence for homeless veterans. The facility provides needed resources to help veterans find housing and employment.

PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER help them learn the skills necessary for sustainable living on their own.

Residents can stay for as short a time as two months, but others have stayed as long as 10 to 12 months.

“We really try to personalize their time here, so it’s however long they need to find a job and place to live,” Kinney said. “While they’re here, they have access to help like social workers, mental health experts, physical and art therapists, and employment and housing liaisons.”

The facility has a gym, art studio with a kiln, and cafeteria and gathering area for their residents.

High housing costs are a major barrier for many veterans, and many also have problems getting the funds for first and last month’s rent, or the references required on an apartment application, Kinney added.

“One thing that really helps veterans once they are looking for a place to live is scatter site housing, which means formerly homeless veterans are spread out in the community, instead of all housed in one place,” he said.

“This allows them to integrate into their community and feel like they’re a part of it.”

It takes partnerships to make a facility like Valor Point function, and in addition to other Veterans Affairs facilities, nonprofits like The Action Center, and restaurants like Texas Roadhouse help out whenever possible. This past Thanksgiving the Sheridan Texas Roadhouse’s servers, hostesses, managers and kitchen prepared turkeys, home-made stuffing, home-made sweet potato pie and South Lakewood’s Valor Point has an arts therapy room for its residents, who are all homeless veterans. These are some of the works residents have created.

made-from-scratch rolls for Valor Point residents.

That sense of community is what makes the facility important for its residents, and a vital step on the path toward sustainable living.

“As long as others like myself know there are places like this that can provide assistance with a direction in life, we can better ourselves,” Mike said. “The VA sometimes gets a bad rap from people, but this is something they got totally right.”

VETS AND HOMELESSNESS Veterans are over-represented among the homeless population. It is estimated that veterans represent nine percent of the total homeless population, and that homeless veterans tend to be male (91 percent), single (98 percent), live in a city (76 percent), and have a mental and/or physical disability (54 percent).

BUSINESS

To be successful at something, it usually takes more than one go. And that includes getting off the streets and finding stable living and employment.

Mike, 54, and Eddie, 55, neither of whom wanted their last names used for privacy reasons, are two veterans who have lived this truth. But thanks to Valor Point Domiciliary for Homeless Veterans in south Lakewood, part of the Veterans Affairs Eastern Colorado Health Care System, both men are working toward a better future.

“I’ve been here before and successfully progressed through the program,” said Mike, who served in the Navy from 1988 through 1991 during the Gulf War. “Because of unforeseen circumstances, I’m back here again. But they’re helping me with housing.”

Valor Point was opened nearly five years ago thanks to a federal grant aimed at helping homeless veterans.

It’s a satellite of the Veterans Affairs facilities in downtown Denver, and is part of the continuum of care veterans have access to after their service is finished.

“We’re a piece of the puzzle for veterans in need,” said Dr. Thomas Kinney, program manager at Valor Point.

“We’re one of about 230 Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program facilities around the country that offer a variety of services to veterans.”

The number of homeless veterans in Colorado is about 1,181, according to the 2016 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s annual report on homelessness, which was an increase of 231 veterans from 2015.

As one of those veterans, Eddie, who was an Army Ranger from 1979 through 1982, said if he didn’t have access to the services at Valor Point, he would be homeless on the street.

“The cost of living in Denver is very high right now, so I’m saving money after I just started a new job,” he said. “I’ve been here for five months already, and hopefully will be able to find a place to live.”

Valor Point has 40 beds in 37 rooms.

As Kinney explains, this is to provide their residents with privacy and to

Wheelers for the Wounded comes through for veterans Parker nonprofit offers trips to enjoy the outdoors

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Veteran Morgan Huston served as a staff sergeant in the Air Force, and was deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo. The physical demands of his service caught up with him after he was discharged in 2006, and he found himself unable to enjoy some of the activities he previously had, and isolated from fellow veterans who had similar experiences both while on active duty and after returning to civilian life.

Parker resident and fellow veteran John Walters wanted to help veterans like Huston, so he started the nonprofit organization Wheelers for the Wounded of Colorado last year, which takes veterans out into the wilderness for a weekend of camping, camaraderie and extreme four-wheeling.

“We wanted to do something for veterans who maybe can’t get out and enjoy the wilderness because of disabilities or issues caused by their service,” said Walters. “So we decided to combine a love of the outdoors with the chance to help veterans.”

Walters served in the Navy, and comes from a military family background. He’s also passionate about off-roading in his tricked-out Jeep and camping. His organization arranges for an all-inclusive camping trip and four-wheeling experience for veterans, including transportation, entertain-

A LOOK AT VETERANS • There are an estimated 95,000 disabled veterans in the United States.

• About 7 percent of Coloradans are veterans.

Source: John Walters — Wheelers for the Wounded of Colorado ment, food, lodging and companionship.

“The camping is really just an excuse to get together with other veterans and talk about things that they might not be able to talk about with other people,” said Walters. “A lot happens around the campfire, and they open up a lot about combat experiences.”

Huston went camping with the group in September, and said it was not only fun, but therapeutic, and he hopes to make it an annual event.

“I got pretty beat up in the service, so I don’t get out a lot now to do physical things,” said Huston. “It was pretty impressive to see what they can do in the Jeeps. I haven’t had that much fun in a long time.”

Huston said he hopes to establish some lifelong friendships through the camping trips.

“I don’t really get a chance to hang out with other vets,” he said. “It’s nice to reconnect with some guys who have been out there.”

Wheelers for the Wounded of Colorado hosts several events throughout the year, and is always looking for volunteers, donations or participants.

In high school basketball, successful teams employ strong defense

Area teams defend in different ways

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A few years ago, sports writer Neil Paine of the website basketballreference.com examined 50 years of National Basketball Association title-winning teams. The teams were strong on offense and defense, but Paine noted that a small improvement to defense increased a team’s chances of winning championships more than the same improvement in offense.

That concept would seem to apply not only to the pro level, but also the amateur ranks, including Colorado high school basketball.

“When talking about the old adage of `defense wins championships,’ I believe it still has substance in today’s game, which seems to be focused on offense and 3-pointers,” Legacy boys coach Connor Clay said.

“Defense is one of the few things in basketball that is always in your control as a player because it is always about effort and attitude.

Defensive effort and attitude are a couple of the few things players can consistently control, and consistency wins championships.”

Arvada point guard Isaiah Vigil testified to the importance of defense after Littleton recently beat the Bulldogs.

“They (Littleton) were a swarm-

ing defense and pressured us up and down the court,” Vigil said. “Their defense forced us to change some of

t seems that nobody can remember the last time the Littleton boys basketball team defeated city rival Heritage.

The Littleton Lions snapped a long, yet-to-be-resolved losing streak against Heritage with a 62-59 victory on Dec. 12 in the Eagles’ gym OVERTIME According to MaxPreps records, the Lions were 0-11 against Heritage heading into this season’s game but the intra-city series is older than 12 years.

“It feels good to win,” said Littleton Jim Benton coach Ryan Fletcher.

“It’s been a long time for us. It goes back as long as we can think. I know it’s been at least 15 years since we had won.

“Every year we mark this game. It’s one that both schools get up for but it’s been too long since we’ve gotten our share. Our guys were excited and we felt if we played well we would have a chance.’’

Littleton administrators are still searching for documents to verify the last win but many Lions enthusiasts might finally start to believe in that old saying about throwing out records when rivalries are renewed.

“I think that the adage is true,” said Fletcher. “Both teams every year want this game regardless of records, regardless of the scores.”

Senior Jason Levy scored 27 points to spark Littleton’s win.

“It’s been years since we’ve beat them, so I’m really happy,” said Levy.

“It’s a rivalry. We focused and practiced hard for this game. We had our minds set right and came out and executed. I really believe any team can win on any day. We wanted it more.

We were hungry.”

Heritage coach Jentry Byleveld praised the rival Lions.

“Littleton played a great game,” he said. “They are well coached and played very hard.

“We couldn’t get stops on the defensive end, which ended up hurting our chances to win.”

Milestone wins Legend boys basketball coach Kevin Boley collected his 400th career victory on Dec. 2 against Ralston Valley.

Jefferson Academy boys coach Mark Sharpley, in his 19th season of coaching after coming to Jefferson Academy from Belleview Christian, joined the milestone 400 win club when the Jaguars beat Gunnison on Dec. 9.

Sharpley’s record is 400-120.

40 The News-Press Misc. Private Legals Public Notice DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION NO. 2, COLORADO TO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIES

Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are hereby notified that the following case is a portion of the resume of applications and amendments filed and/or ordered published during the month of November 2017, in Water Division No. 2. The Water Judge ordered this case be published in the Douglas County News Press in Douglas County, Colorado.

The name(s) and address(es) of applicant(s), description of water rights or conditional water rights and description of ruling sought as reflected by said application, or amendment, are as follows.

CASE NO. 2017CW3055 (Water Div. 2) and 2017CW3143 (Water Div. 1) - JAMES KREHBIEL and TAMMY KREHBIEL, P.O. Box 2593, Monument, CO 80132 (Please direct all correspondence and inquiries regarding this matter to Applicant’s attorney: Henry D. Worley, Worley Law Office LLC, 611 North Weber Street, Suite 104, Colorado Springs, CO 80903, email hank.worley@pcisys.net); phone 719.634.8330) Amended Application for Plan for Augmentation EL PASO COUNTY 1. Legal description of property: Applicants’ property consists of two contiguous lots located in the NW1/4 Section 15, T. 11 S., R. 67 W., 6th P.M. in El Paso County. The addresses of the two lots are: (1) 18302 Faulkner Street, the legal description of which is “Lot 2 Fontenelle Subdivision No. 2, except parcel by order and decree CV#66671, signed October 29, 1971,” and (2) an unassigned address on Peak View Boulevard, the legal description of which is “that part of Lot 2 Fontenelle Subdivision No. 2 by order and decree CV#66671, signed October 29, 1971" (the “Property”). The two parcels total 5.79 acres in size. A map of the Property was attached to the original application. 2. Statement of amended plan for augmentation. Under the amended plan for augmentation, Applicants seek to pump up to 1.791 acre feet annually from the not nontributary Denver aquifer for 110 years. They anticipate allocating 0.425 acre foot annually for each of two residential lots, and 0.941 acre foot annually for a lot on which a combination residence/bed and breakfast will be located. At the end of 110 years, Applicants’ successors shall be required to construct one or more nontributary Arapahoe aquifer wells on the Property, which must pump at least 0.016 acre foot initially to replace post-pumping depletions caused by pumping the Denver aquifer, and will be allowed to continue pumping of up to 1.791 acre feet of Arapahoe aquifer annually for the remaining 190 year of El Paso County’s 300 year water supply rule. In that case, septic system return flows from the Arapahoe aquifer pumping shall be sufficient to replace depletions for at least 300 years after commencement of pumping the Denver aquifer water. At the end of 300 years, Applicants’ successors shall discontinue use of the Arapahoe aquifer for all uses except for replacement of Denver aquifer post-pumping depletions, and shall pump such Arapahoe aquifer water until the amount of decreed Arapahoe aquifer water has been pumped, or until the Arapahoe aquifer is depleted, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, Applicants’ successor shall be required to construct a well in the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer, and to replace continuing postpumping depletions caused by pumping the not nontributary Denver aquifer, until such time as the obligation to do so is terminated. All the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer water shall be dedicated for that purpose, unless Applicants request that such post-pumping depletions may be replaced with any other judicially acceptable source of augmentation water, upon judicial approval after appropriate notice, and that request is granted. Water in the Denver and Arapahoe aquifers shall be approved for all beneficial uses except municipal uses; water in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer shall be decreed for augmentation purposes.

THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THE FOREGOING APPLICATION(S) MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT AND PROTEST WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE, OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

17CW3181 Michael Greene, 7440 South Blackhawk Street, #1106, Englewood, CO 80112 (James J. Petrock, Petrock & Fendel, 700 17th Street, #1800, Denver, CO 80202), APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NOT NONTRIBUTARY SOURCE AND FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN THE NOT NONTRIBUTARY LOWER DAWSON AQUIFER, DOUGLAS COUNTY. Subject Property: 1.21 acres being Lot 10, Block 9, Surrey Ridge Unit 4, located in the NW1/4SW1/4 of Section 27, T6S, R67W of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, as shown on Attachment A hereto ("Subject Property"). Source of Water Rights: The Lower Dawson aquifer is not nontributary as described in Sections 37-90-103(10.7), C.R.S. Estimated Annual Amount: 0.35 acre-feet per year. Proposed Use: In house and irrigation on the Subject Property. Groundwater to be augmented: 0.35 acre-feet per year of Lower Dawson aquifer groundwater as requested herein. Water rights for augmentation: Return flows from the use of the Lower Dawson aquifer groundwater and nontributary groundwater in the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer underlying the Subject Property decreed in Case No. 00CW205.

Applicant is owner of 0.61 and 0.27 acre-feet per year of the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater, respectively. The Lower Dawson aquifer water will be used through an individual well on the Subject Property for in house use in one residence (0.27 acre-feet) and irrigation of home lawn, garden, and trees (0.08 acre-feet). Applicant reserves the right to amend the amounts and values without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in house use will be provided by a non-evaporative septic system and return flow from in house use will be approximately 90% of that use. During pumping Applicant will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S. Depletions occur to the Cherry Creek stream system and return flows accrue to the South Platte River via Cherry Creek, and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped.

Applicant will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. Further, Applicant prays that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (5 pages).

Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures, during the diligence period: Centennial acquired the subject conditional water right from the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District and Groundwater Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District by special warranty deed dated May 15, 2005 and recorded May 19, 2005 in the Douglas County real property records at Reception No. 2005044600. During the diligence period, Centennial has taken the following actions toward completion of the subject conditional water right: A. The subject conditional water right and its associated structures and sources are part of the unified water supply system for Highlands Ranch. Highlands Ranch is a development consisting of approximately 22,000 acres in Douglas County, including the community of Highlands Ranch. Centennial is responsible for providing a municipal water supply to Highlands Ranch. B. Centennial continued to engage in efforts to obtain the reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control to multipurpose use, including municipal storage (“Chatfield Reallocation Project” or “Project”), and to secure a permanent right to store water in Chatfield Reservoir, including water available to the subject water right. In April 2012, Centennial increased the size of its storage space allocation through the acquisition of the redistributed allocation of the City of Brighton, bringing Centennial’s storage space allocation in Chatfield Reservoir to 6,922 acre feet, including its allocation through its participation in the South Metropolitan Water Supply Authority. This is approximately 34% of the 20,600 acre feet of reallocated storage space that is part of the Chatfield Reallocation Project. The final draft of the feasibility report and environmental impact statement for the Project was issued in June 2012 and the Chatfield Reallocation Project Final Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement was issued in July 2013. The State of Colorado Fish and Wildlife Mitigation plan for the Project was approved in January 2014. The Record of Decision affirming the Chatfield Reallocation Project as the preferred alternative and authorizing the reallocation of 20,600 acre feet of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control use to multipurpose use, including municipal storage, was issued on May 29, 2014. The Department of the Army and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources (“CDNR”) entered into a Water Storage Agreement for the Chatfield Reallocation Project on October 9, 2014. On October 16, 2015, Centennial entered into a Water Provider Agreement with CDNR for the permanent right to use 6,922 acre feet of reallocated storage space in Chatfield Reservoir. In connection with the Water Provider Agreement, Centennial deposited $4,502,657 in cash and $44,440,000 in Colorado Water Conservation Board loan proceeds, for a total of $48,942,657, into an escrow account to cover its pro rata share of estimated future payments to complete the mitigation obligations for the project. Centennial staff and consultants participated in all aspects of the process to obtain the required approvals for the Chatfield Reallocation Project, including the negotiation of the various agreements described above and the creation of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company described in paragraph 4.C below. C. The Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company (“CRMC”) was formed by Project participants on October 8, 2015, for the purpose of conducting such business as may be necessary to satisfy the mitigation obligations of the participants as required for implementation of the approved Chatfield Reallocation Project.

On October 15, 2015, Centennial entered into the Chatfield Reservoir Management Agreement with CDNR, the other project participants and the City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners, which provides for various management and operational terms and conditions for use of the reallocated storage space authorized by the Project. Centennial is a member of the CRMC and has a seat on the Board of the company.

On October 26, 2015, the CRMC entered into a contract with CDM Smith for management of the implementation of the Chatfield Reallocation Project and subsequently entered into eleven separate consultant contracts for project design, totaling $18,200,000. Initial construction of features associated with completion of mitigation obligations for the Project began in October 2017. To date, Centennial has expended approximately $810,000 for consultant contracts and $5,576,839 for capital design as its pro rata share of expenses incurred by the CRMC in connection with implementation of the Project.

D. Since December 1, 2011, Centennial has expended more than $27,332,000 on the continuing development of its municipal water system

D. Since December 1, 2011, Centennial has expended more than $27,332,000 on the continuing development of its municipal water system and water rights, including the development of facilities necessary to utilize water stored under the subject conditional water right. These expenditures include expenditures associated with Centennial’s water treatment and wastewater treatment plants, water and wastewater pipelines, groundwater wells, raw water storage facilities and miscellaneous water infrastructure.

E. Since December 1, 2011, Centennial has continued to participate in the Chatfield Watershed Authority, formed under authority of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. The Authority has initiated water quality related studies and is developing land management plans to protect the quality of inflows to Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial’s participation is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to its municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under the subject conditional water right. F. Since December 1, 2011, Centennial has continued to participate in the Coalition for the Upper South Platte, formerly known as the Upper South Platte Watershed Protection Association.

Centennial is in the Members class of the association, with full voting rights and dues obligations. The association was formed in 1998 with the purpose of maintaining or improving water quality and related resources within the South Platte watershed above Strontia Springs dam.

Strontia Springs dam is upstream of Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial’s participation in the association is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to Centennial’s municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under the subject conditional water right. G. Since December 1, 2011, Centennial has participated in numerous Water Court cases to protect the subject conditional water right from injury and has expended in excess of $2,000,000 in legal and engineering fees in such cases during the diligence period. 5. If claim to make absolute - water applied to beneficial use: Not applicable. 6.

Name and address of owner of land upon which any new diversion or storage structure or modification to an existing diversion or storage structure or existing storage pool is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: No new diversion or storage structures are or will be constructed and no modifications to existing diversion or storage structures or existing storage pool are or will be constructed. The land on which Chatfield Reservoir is located is owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, 9307 South Platte Canyon Road, Littleton, CO 80128-6901. WHEREFORE, Centennial requests the Court to enter a decree finding that Centennial has proceeded with reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriation of the subject conditional water right and continuing the subject conditional water right in full force and effect for an additional diligence period.

These include improvements to various ditches, wells, pumps, pipes, flumes, and gulches, including expenditures of more than $100,000.00 to improve the City Ditch by replacing the pipe inlet and screen on City Ditch at two locations, installing a Mariposa headgate on the City Ditch, and designing and installing a release point at Big Dry Creek from City Ditch.

the things I do. Their defender forced me to go the opposite way. I normally dribble, so he made me pull up and look to get a pass to an open teammate.”

Local coaches saying playing strong defense does more than stop the other team from scoring — it can also translate into offensive opportunities at the other end of the court.

“When you have two really good teams playing against each other, the defense is really what swings it,” Rock Canyon girls coach Becky Mudd said. “Your defense can start so many things for you offensively.

You still need to have somebody who can put the ball in the basket but definitely your defense can spark a lot of things.”

Top-ranked wrestling team It should not be a surprise, but Pomona is the top-ranked Class 5A wrestling team in Colorado, according to Tim Yount’s On the Mat team rankings.

Pomona is the two-time defending 5A champion and has won three of the past five state titles.

Ponderosa was sixth in the Dec. 15 rankings and Castle View was seventh.

Putting strategy to work There are a variety of approaches that can be employed, including manto-man, pressure and zone defenses.

It is up to coaches to decide which defense to use and when. For instance, zone defenses are often used to change tempo and keep players out of foul trouble.

“It all depends on how well the opponent can score,” Lakewood boys coach Daryl Johnson said. “We just look to give more attention in high school games to those players that can score. So that’s when we like to shift our defense.”

To many, strong defense starts close to the basket.

“The paint is where you win and lose games. Our interior defense is very important to our success,” Rock Canyon boys coach Kenton Grams said.

Joe Ortiz, boys coach at ThunderRidge, agrees.
