JANINE YOUNG

Dancer, math tutor About me I grew up in Iowa but I moved around a lot. I went to four different colleges and got a degree in agriculture at Fort Lewis College in Durango. We moved to Castle Rock from Colorado Springs in 1994.

I just moved back (to Castle Rock) last year. When you come down from Happy Canyon, it just takes my breath away. I was in Parker renting something and I just thought, “Oh my gosh, I have to get back to Castle Rock.”

Decades of teaching I’m a math tutor — taught off and on for probably 30 years. I have a business called Front Range Math Boosters. I teach all age groups, but I don’t do calculus!

I home-schooled both of my kids. My daughter is 24 and she’s married and my son is 27 and lives in Denver.

He’s been in grad school for economics. My daughter just started her own professional tap dance company.

My hobbies I’ve played the piano since, probably second grade, and my favorite thing to play on the piano is ragtime.

I play banjo now, too. About four years ago I started taking lessons. It’s really hard, but I’ve always loved bluegrass music, especially the banjo. I asked for one for Christmas.

I probably took dance lessons when I was 5 and then quit and then I started again back when my daughter was taking lessons — she was teaching adult tap too.

I probably took four years with her and then moved away and took dance off and on. I started again in my 50s. I’m 63 now. I’m taking tap and I just started taking ballet. I really like it!

Janine Young recently moved to Castle Rock for the second time, saying she came back for the stunning mountain views. Young is a math tutor and plans to begin tutoring in Castle Rock soon.

School district to consider weighted honors classes Currently only AP, IB courses go above 4.0 scale

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District will explore the possibility of weighting honors classes for high school students. The idea would be to make students more competitive when applying to college and for scholarships.

Currently, all classes are graded on a 4.0 scale, except for Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes, which are graded on a 5.0 scale. While honors courses are meant to be more challenging, there is presently no difference in how they impact a student’s grade-point average.

Rock Canyon High School Principal Andy Abner said the debate over weighting honors classes has been going on as long as he can remember.

“There are some principals that absolutely want to weight honors courses, and there are some principals who don’t

‘There are a lot of students and families and people who want to figure out what the best path is toward the highest GPA.’ Andy Abner, Rock Canyon High School principal want to weight honors courses because they don’t feel as though there is an objective criteria,” Abner said.

Abner was one of two DCSD high school principals to speak on the topic during the Jan. 3 board of education meeting.

“Who’s to say an honors English class in New Jersey is the same as an honors English class in Douglas County?” said Douglas County High School Principal Tony Kappas.

Jeffco Public Schools, the Cherry Creek School District and Littleton Public Schools offer weighted honors classes, in addition to AP and IB courses, for high school

students. AP and IB classes have criteria that are the same across the country, which is not true of honors classes.

Kappas and Abner agree that college admissions and scholarships are at the heart of the debate.

While both say it makes sense for students to be rewarded for taking more challenging courses, there are also potential negative impacts of offering more weighted classes.

“As administration, we all deal with the great GPA race,” Abner said. “There are a lot of students and families and people who want to figure out what the best path is toward

the highest GPA. Sometimes, we find students who will only take weighted courses and may miss out on some of the elective opportunities they may be interested in.”

Class rank can come into play when students apply for college or compete for scholarships. Adding more weighted courses would likely add to the competition between students.

Abner said the highest GPA at Rock Canyon this year is 4.4, which is weighted above the traditional 4.0 with the addition of AP classes.

The district could potentially weight honors classes on a 5.0 scale like AP classes, or lower on a 4.5 scale.

“We have students who if they could take nine classes instead of eight to get that extra A, and maybe get ahead of someone, they would,” Kappas said. “We have had students take AP through correspondence to boost their GPA.” School board Vice President Judith Reynolds said as the parent of a senior who is applying to colleges, she has learned firsthand how the admissions process can vary school to school and region to region.

“That’s part of this discussion: Is that GPA important?”

Reynolds asked. “Because I know a lot of the schools (my daughter) has applied to do level the playing field and look at the unweighted GPA.” School board President Meghann Silverthorn said she took weighted honors courses as a high school student in Athens, Greece, in the mid1990s.

She said she found that the weighted courses were magnets for the kids who would eventually go into the IB program.

“The concern that I’ve heard from the community is that the courses should be rigorous enough to warrant the weighting,” Silverthorn said.

Board member Steve Peck expressed concern that adding additional weighted courses would lead to GPA inflation.

“You would see GPAs go up,” Abner said.

The board directed district staff to put together a report looking at the pros and cons of weighting honors classes as well as comparisons to other districts across the state.

There will be a presentation of the findings at a March board meeting.

CDOT speeds up project to widen stretch of I-25 Construction on two-lane interstate ‘gap’ between Castle Rock and Monument could begin in 2019

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s known as “The Gap” to government officials and a bottlenecked mess to law enforcement, but construction to widen a 17-mile, twolane stretch of Interstate 25 between Monument and Castle Rock could begin as early as 2019.

The Colorado Department of Transportation announced Jan. 6 it is accelerating the environmental and planning processes for the project, which in total, spans from C-470 to Colorado Springs. With those studies prepared, construction can begin in 2019 and possibly end as early as 2021, CDOT Executive Director Shailen Bhatt said.

“A lot of these interstates are still in their original configuration,” Bhatt said.

That’s a problem with a growing state population, officials say. A letter of support from the El Paso County Board of Commissioners stated a 2015 traffic study found more than 64,000 vehicles pass between Castle Rock and Monument daily.

A bottleneck effect unfolds when traffic condenses from three to two lanes in that corridor.

“You give us hope that a solution will occur sooner rather than later,” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said of CDOT expediting the project.

The county contributed $250,000 to a study done for improvements to I-25, and promises to find additional project funding.

CDOT was able to move up plans after reallocating $15 million for environmental and pre-construction work. The money was previously reserved as a “backstop” for loans on the C-470 Express Lanes project. Those loans were finalized in recent weeks and freed the reserves for use elsewhere.

The catch is total-project funding — a hunt for somewhere between $300 million and $400 million dollars, or more, will ensue between now and then. Partridge said the board plans to work with Colorado’s federal delegation, and Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers urged the state Legislature to find bipartisan funding solutions.

If the dollars come through, shovels can hit the ground in 2019.

“We have to keep the pressure on to not just do the planning but to make sure that the plan comes together,” said Sallie Clark, chairman of the El Paso Board of Commissioners.

Castle Rock employees celebrate growing town hall Groundbreaking held for expansion that will be added to southeast corner

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bill Detweiler, director of Castle Rock Development Services, said he’s fielded many questions when walking around town hall recently.

At a gathering of nearly 70 people on Jan. 4, most of whom were town staff, he was able to put many of those questions to rest.

Yes, in the coming months there will be lots of noise and dust.

Yes, parking will remain available behind town hall and on nearby streets.

Yes, trucks will be moving in and out of the area.

But it’s all for an exciting reason, he said: Construction has begun on the long-anticipated town hall expansion project with a budget of $5.1 million.

Project bids were close, Detweiler said, but the winner was construction company GH Phipps, which promised a 31-week project duration for just under $4.1 million.

The 14,000-square-foot, three-story addition on the southeast corner of town hall will have space to accommodate 60

Castle Rock held a groundbreaking ceremony on Jan. 4 for a three-story addition project on the Town Hall.

JESSICA GIBBS town employees.

A great shuffle will happen once it’s completed in early fall, said Deputy Town Manager Fritz Sprague. The old wing will be rearranged, as many offices will move to the new addition, including those of Detweiler’s 38-member department.

The project is funded by the Development Services Enterprise Fund, made up of application fees people pay to the development service department.

“Every time somebody lays a dollar on the counter in development services,” Detweiler said, “I always like to say they get 99 cents back in services.”

Most importantly, he said, that means no general fund or taxpayer dollars are footing the bill.

Town staff said need for the new space has been a growing problem.

“The town was a third of the size when town hall was built” in 2001, said Kristin Zagurski, assistant to the town manager.

In 1999, a staff memo reported 45 individuals worked for town hall. But a townwide facilities study done in 2014 predicted town staff will exceed 100 within the next eight years.

Today, nearly 70 people work in the town hall facility. Over the years, conference rooms have been converted to more offices, a group of building inspectors moved into the basement and some people under the finance department work in offices smaller than 50 square feet, Zagurski said, where a standard office might have 100 square feet.

Legislative session opens with uncertainty Funding for roads expected to be a priority

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

With one eye on a $500 million state budget gap and the other on Washington, Gov. John Hickenlooper and a split Colorado Legislature enter the 2017 lawmaking session with Report little expectation of fiscal reform and plenty of uncertainty over transportation, the state’s Medicaid bills, affordable housing and illegal pot sales.

Last year, Hickenlooper and fellow Democrats tried and failed to loosen Colorado’s strict spending rules by declaring a $750 million hospital fund off-limits to tax rebates. They wanted the money for aging roads and underfunded schools.

The governor dropped that idea from his proposed $28.5 billion budget this year, as lawmakers prepare to face more tough spending choices during their four-month session that began

Capitol

Jan. 11.

As it stands, Hickenlooper’s budget requires $500 million in transfers, cuts or delayed spending on transit, health care and other programs. All of it must comply with the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which limits the revenues the state can take without voter approval.

The governor and new leaders in the Republican-controlled Senate and Democrat-led House are floating the idea of asking voters to approve a tax to update Colorado’s highways. The state’s to-do list for roads has an $8 billion and growing price tag to fund delayed road and bridge repairs and pay for envisioned new road projects. Legislators from both parties say they’re keenly aware that traffic gridlock is a top priority to voters.

“Obviously the need is something both sides are aware of — painfully aware of,’’ incoming Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, told a group of business owners Jan. 5.

There are signs the parties could finally agree on a way to promote affordable condo and other housing construction — a pressing issue for the fast-growing state with rapidly rising housing costs. Colorado home values have gone up 10 percent over the past year, according to real estate data firm

Zillow, which predicts they’ll rise another 4 percent over the next year.

In recent years, lawmakers have tried unsuccessfully to reform state laws that allow developers to be sued for construction defects. Both sides agree it’s too easy under state law for renters and homeowners to sue — and that has contributed to skyrocketing housing costs.

Leaders of the House and Senate say they are optimistic they can change those laws this session to promote housing construction.

Incoming House Speaker Crisanta Duran, a Denver Democrat, told the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce that she’s optimistic lawmakers can hammer out a compromise on the long-debated developer-liability question.

But she added that developers shouldn’t expect a friendlier Democratic House under her leadership.

“I stand strong against taking away consumer rights,’’ Duran told the business leaders.

Plenty of attention will be paid to health care, and both Democrats and Republicans say they need to study how they can prepare for a possible repeal or other changes to the Affordable SEE SESSION, P18

little too close together,” Detweiler said.

The addition will also enable the 20-person information technology department, which currently leases office off-site, to return to town hall.

The project is for the public, too, Sprague said.

The addition’s first floor will become the new main entrance and a front office for each town department will line both sides of the entry hall. The new design will make it easier for people to navigate town hall, Sprague said.

Detweiler said he’s excited and anxious for this project to get underway.

And he’s not the only one.

The meeting he led Jan. 4 followed a groundbreaking ceremony where Mayor Jennifer Green, Mayor Pro Tem Renee Valentine, representatives from GH Phipps and town staff celebrated the project liftoff with an overall sense of jubilee.

“We’ve got an hour program,” Town Manager Dave Corliss joked to those gathered for the event in freezing temperatures.

Corliss and the others performing the ceremonial dig laughed through several attempts to shovel the frozen ground.

On a serious note, Corliss said, great things were coming for Castle Rock in 2017.

“This,” he said of town hall, “is one of them.”

Q&A with state Sen. Chris Holbert This week, Chris Holbert begins the third year of his first term in the state Senate. The Republican from unincorporated Douglas County previously served four years in the state House.

The Senate majority leader’s District 30 includes Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, some communities near Parker and portions of northern and western unincorporated Douglas County.

Colorado Community Media recently asked him the following questions ahead of the start of the 2017 legislative session.

Holbert

What are the two most important issues the Legislature must tackle this session and why?

Transportation funding and construction-litigation reform.

Describe a bill you plan to sponsor that is particularly important to you.

Authorizing our 64 county sheriffs to develop training programs for employees of the 178 school districts who, with permission of the local school board, wish to be armed on campus. This would add to the existing provision for POST certified law enforcement serving as school resource officers and the existing provision for a school board to contract with armed private security personal who are not required to have any specific training.

After everything is said and done, what will constitute a successful session?

Bipartisan, bicameral approval of construction litigation reform legislation that would facilitate construction of owner-occupied, multi-family housing including condominiums and townhouses.

Bullets found inside Flagstone Elementary in Castle Rock No guns were discovered at the school, officials say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bullets were discovered inside Flagstone Elementary School on Jan. 3, according to Douglas County School District spokeswoman Paula Hans.

“Tuesday, right before dismissal, a student at Flagstone found a bullet in the school,” she said.

Hans did not elaborate on where at the Castle Rock school the bullet was found. Later in the evening, the parents of another student contacted the school saying their child had brought home a bullet found at the school, Hans said.

“We had Castle Rock police come in to check things out,” Hans said.

Authorities did not see a concern or threat, she said, and no weapons were found. Parents were notified of the incidents Jan. 4.

A letter to parents from Principal Kelli Smith said one student found a .22-caliber bullet inside the building just before dismissal and that school officials received an after-hours call that night with reports of a second bullet, also a .22 caliber, found in the school.

“We are investigating the incident,” the letter states. “It is unclear who brought the bullets to school, but there is nothing to suggest that there is a threat to our students or staff.”

Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said the night of Jan. 3 police interviewed the mother and student who reported the bullet after hours.

On Jan. 4, the school resource officer made contact with Flagstone by 7:40 a.m.

“We search the school grounds, talk to individuals to see if we can find any criminal activity,” Cauley said. “We couldn’t find anything that was a safety issue beyond the fact that there were two bullets.”

Cauley said in incidents like this, police do increase school security, which is “robust” to begin with, he said, because of the district’s School Marshal Officer Program. Through the program, an officer visits every elementary school each day that classes are in session.

“It’s an extra level of security that really is very unique,” he said.

Cauley said he could only speculate on why bullets were brought to the school and the investigation has brought no leads. The bullets will eventually be destroyed.

“Safety and security,” he said, “is our number one priority.”

Too close to creatures for comfort

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coyotes lived in the metro area long before any towns or residential neighborhoods sprang up, and as their annual breeding season arrives, they are making their presence felt to many residents, human and otherwise.

In a news release, Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said coyotes can become more aggressive in the months of January and February.

“As coyotes pair up to breed, they may be more territorial than usual and defend their space as they carve out a place to have their young,” Churchill said. “Citizens are well-advised to be aware of their presence and the potential for conflicts with humans in metro and rural areas.”

Coyotes have adapted to urban and suburban environments and are “opportunistic hunters” that don’t fear getting close to humans or pets, according to CPW. A coyote will adjust its diet depending on what is available, and will readily prey on pets, animal carcasses, birdseed and plants.

This time last year, parks and wildlife received calls of a young girl nipped by a coyote in Centennial, an aggressive coyote stalking a grandmother and her grandson in Aurora, and four separate incidents of a coyote baring its teeth in Lakewood. There have been more than 25 reports of people being bitten by

coyotes in the Denver metro area since 2007, according to CPW. Though they tend to be bolder and more protective during this time of year, coyotes are timid by nature and residents who come in contact with them are encouraged to haze and frighten the animals to drive them away. Any contact with a coyote should immediately be reported to parks and wildlife.

“These bold coyotes should not be tolerated or enticed,” humansociety. org says, “but instead given the clear message that they should not be so brazen.”

IF YOU MEET A COYOTE...

Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued the following guidelines for area residents on how to prevent and handle interactions with coyotes.

• Don’t feed wildlife.

• Always supervise your pet outside, especially at dawn and dusk.

• Protect pets by keeping cats indoors and using a 6-foot leash when walking dogs.

• If possible, pick up children and pets when coyotes are visible.

• Avoid thick vegetation and other potential den sites.

• Do not run away from a coyote or turn your back — try to appear as large as possible.

• Wave your arms and throw objects.

• Face the coyote and back away slowly.

• If attacked, fight back.

To find true significance, lean on instincts and on help from others

O

WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

K, here we are a couple of weeks into the new year. And over the past year we shared thoughts and conversations around dreams and goal setting, personal successes and achievements, challenges we have faced in our own lives or with family members and friends, hope and encouragement, and so much more.

The community has responded in so many ways, and thankfully most of those responses have been very positive. For some, although they appreciated the insights and encouragement, they are very satisfied right where they are now. Others replied and shared their successes achieved and/

or their plans for pursuing their goals and dreams on their way to success. And finally some of you shared your powerful stories about moving beyond being satisfied and successful as you journey toward significance.

Synonyms for “significant” could include “notable,” “noteworthy,” “important” or “of great importance,” and even “remarkable.”

And many authors and experts have talked about the move or journey from success to significance. For those who want to push beyond success and move toward significance the question is this: How do we make that leap?

Now as you read this column you should know that you are already significant. You are already significant even if you can’t see it or believe it about yourself. Many of us tend to be modest and would rather not be recognized for our significance. And for some who just can’t see it or believe it yet, it could be because we haven’t heard it enough from others or maybe we have never really read the definition of significance before.

You are remarkable, you are noteworthy, and you are of great importance.

Again, many authors and experts have SEE NORTON, P12

finding someone’s OK Zone and working from there.

The OK Zone is our comfort zone of beliefs. As long as a new concept being presented is close to a long-held belief, we have a tendency to be more agreeable. Other factors are also involved, but operating within someone’s OK Zone greatly improves your odds SEE BOTT, P13

I dream about people I haven’t seen in decades, doing unimaginable things.

One dream occurs several times a week, and I wish it would go away.

I’m teaching again, trying Craig Marshall to manage a Smith roomful of modern college students, and it’s always a blackboard jungle of disrespect.

I am mightily relieved to wake up.

My belief is that these dreams were cursed on me by disgruntled former students. There were more than a few.

I wish I could tell you who invented naps, but no one knows.

Perhaps it was someone at a bored meeting.

There have been some famous naps, none more memorable than Alice’s.

The Alice in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” was based on Alice Liddell, author Lewis Carroll’s young friend.

QUIET DESPERATION

his is a tribute to naps.

Right after I write it, I plan to take one.

There are few things better than a nap. And they are free.

No one has ever had to pay for a nap.

Infants and the elderly are expected to take naps, but it’s frowned upon if you are a working adult.

But when I was a working adult, I took a nap a day on my days off. I may have dozed during faculty senate meetings too.

The same people who were on student council in high school are on faculty senate later in life.

New faculty are relegated to it.

That’s what happened to me. But there were senior faculty who volunteered.

The agendas were always the same. We discussed the policies of polices.

In some parts of the world, naps are called siestas, and they are expected of you, even if you are a working adult.

Like I said, there are few things better than drifting off mid-day and dreaming.

My dreams are now directed

by Salvador Dali.

I don’t know how that happened.

OBITUARIES KOLBE

NASSER

Robert “Bob” Kolbe

Ann Francis Nasser

Jan. 15, 1924 – Jan. 3, 2017

Robert (Bob) Benedikt Kolbe , 92 passed peacefully with his family around him in Castle Rock Co at Brookside Nursing Home. He was born in Farnhamville, Iowa to Joseph Benedikt Kolbe who came from Riokinitz, Bohemia in 1907 through Statten Island, New York when he was 14 years old with his brother Richard and married Luella Agatha Kruse Kolbe. Bob married the love of his life, Carolyn (Cary) Lily Berner Kolbe, January 9, 1945, wife of 68 years, who preceded him in death September 8, 2013.

Bob started his journey in Iowa, farming with his family, graduating from Lohriville High School and 1 year at Drake University. Joined the Army Air Corps in 1943, flew Pt-17s, AT-6’s & B-25’s as a flight officer. After serving his time he left the Corps in 1945 worked for Illinois Central Railroad in Cedar Rapids, Iowa as a depot agent for 12 years and met Cary in the same business. They moved their 5 girls to Castle Rock in 1961, loved the small town and never left.

Castle Rock’s population was 1,000 and Douglas County, 3000 residents.

From 1964-1982 Kolbe Construction built custom homes, schools and commercial buildings throughout the county and Metro Denver. Bob was known for having a large and in charge personality and his quality workmanship using his love of finish carpentry to provide for his family.

Bob & Howard Colling owned Douglas County Redimix from 1973-1977.

In 1977 he purchased a small paint machine that painted stripes on parking lots, named it Kolbe Striping that

turned into a very successful business with 40 employees. His daughter and son-in-law, Roxy and Paul Geerdes purchased the business from Bob in 1990 who continue to run the business today. The Colorado Contractors Association honored him with the Colorado Construction Pioneer Award in 2001.

He was dedicated to the communities he lived in, Commander American Legion, Rock Rapids, Iowa, 1952, Church council, American Lutheran Church, Rockwell City, Iowa, 1954 and Mt. Zion Lutheran church. He joined the church in 1961 and was a member until his passing. When Castle Rock had very few citizens he joined Volunteer Fire Department in 1965 - 1983. Was an original member in 1969 of the Perry Park Country Club until 2000, Charter member of the Castle Rock Fraternal Order of Eagles in 1981, Castle Rock Lions Club, Littleton, Elks Club, was elected to serve on Castle Rock Town Council in 1969 with 114 votes and served for multiple years. He enjoyed helping in community projects and volunteered to help build the community swimming pool on Gilbert St. In 1981 was the lead contractor for the Castle Rock Centennial 100 Year celebration that built and framed a replica of the original historic buildings on 300 block of Wilcox street. To create the illusion of buildings they framed each building, stapled large pieces of card board to create walls with community volunteers painting the card board to look exactly like the buildings and businesses in 1881. The structure was placed on Wilcox street in front of

the existing buildings complete with board walks, horse hitching posts and dirt hauled in to replicate the old street.

While very committed to his community Bob loved golf and enjoyed the game every day possible in his retirement years at their 2nd home in Green Valley, Arizona for 25 years.

Also preceding him in death, 2 brothers, Arthur (Bud) Richard Kolbe, Eugene Lewis Kolbe, 2 son-in-laws, Kenneth (Kenny) Zimmerman, Phil Englen and Khalid Al-Sadun, granddaughter Elizabeth Dillman’s husband. Bob is survived by his sister, Anna Mae Walker, 94 of Bath, New York, 5 daughters, Lizbeth Jean Zimmerman, Castle Rock, CO. Judith (Judy) Ann Crenshaw (Joe), Castle Rock, CO, Lynn Evelyn Englen, Warwick, MA, Roxanne (Roxy) Luella Geerdes (Paul), Franktown, CO and Susan Bobby Reimann (Jerry), Aurora, CO. He is al survived by 8 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

Bob’s greatest treasures were his wife Cary and his 5 daughters whom he watched grow into loving strong women with children and grand children he dearly loved.

Services will be January 20, 10:00 a.m. at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church, 750 Cantril St., Castle Rock, CO. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Mt. Zion Lutheran Church Bell Tower Fund. Please visit www. olingerandrews.com for remembrances.

shared thoughts on how to make the leap from success to significance. And I would like to offer you just one additional “how” when it comes to looking at how to take a step in that direction should you choose. I am actually taking the advice I found in one of my favorite books that I had read in 2016 and passing it along to you. The book is titled “Divine Opportunity” and it is

by Ryan Montague, Ph.D., and is available at Amazon.com.

Sometimes in the rush and crush of life and with the fast-paced and hectic schedules we keep, we can easily overlook an opportunity to stop and

talk with someone. And that someone could be someone we know or work with, could be a friend or family member, or it could be a complete stranger.

And in our busy-ness, it is always much easier to just keep our heads down, eyes focused straight ahead, and ear buds in so that we can avoid some of those encounters or conversations.

But what I learned in reading “Divine Opportunity” is that if I am going to make an effort at really moving beyond success and towards significance, I should learn to listen to my instincts more when I feel the nudge or calling to reach out to someone or respond to someone dealing with a situation.

We never know where our opportunities will lead us, but if we start paying more attention to the nudges and the callings and start connecting on a

more personal level where and when we can, I do believe that this will help us take the very first steps from moving success and towards significance.

So how about you? Are you happy and satisfied right where things are?

Are you feeling successful? And since we know that you are already significant, maybe you can enhance your journey by finding a way to connect with more people on a much more personal level. I would love to hear all

of success in getting your way. Most of us become firmly entrenched in our belief systems, so when a new idea is being presented we have a tendency to reject it if it’s not close to our personal beliefs. If what’s being presented is too far outside our OK Zone we will not only lose interest, but actively argue against it.

Instead of a frontal attack, patiently explore what makes someone “tick.” Understanding them will get you where you want to be faster than by going the direct and forceful route. You’ll also

garner much better buy-in if they will see your idea as an extension of their own long-held beliefs.

The best way to get what you want is to spend a little time learning more about the person you wish to get on-board with your idea/concept. Do a little exploring and listen to their responses. Ask open-ended questions to get the prospect to tell you their beliefs.

Take a few minutes to get to know the person. Ask a few general questions to establish common ground, while throwing out the occasional pointed question to help you better define their OK Zone.

With a little practice you can easily determine someone’s OK Zone on any subject. This pays huge dividends in the long run by not only getting your way, but doing so

with ease.

Now that you have this information, begin moving forward in baby steps. Apply a little lateral thinking and customize your presentation to adequately address their issues/concerns. Provide incremental bits of information that slowly stretches their zone. Get their buy-in as you move forward to reinforce their acceptance with this new information/position.

Remember to anchor any new information back to already held beliefs. This demonstrates you’ve been paying attention and further reinforces their beliefs.

This “exploring process” helps you determine their OK Zone and then use this information to your advantage.

While it can be difficult to shift

someone’s perspective to your point of view, it’s not impossible. It depends a lot on their mind-frame at that moment, so choose your time wisely and stack the cards in your favor. Be patient and come back at a better time. By exploring their OK Zone you will not only learn more about them, they will begin to see you as an ally because you’re taking time to establish a relationship.

or Mike Scheid and his family, which includes three teenage girls, spending time on the ski slopes is a family tradition.

“It’s a fun time to build memories, get away from the phones and spend some time in the fresh air and wilderness,” Scheid, of Denver, said after spending the day skiing with his family at Winter Park.

Scheid and his wife, Kim, both learned to ski at a young age and are now sharing the pastime with their children.

“My mother-in-law always says a family who skis together, stays together,” Scheid said. “One of the hard parts is the kids are at different levels and you have to care for each other while you do it.”

Sixteen-year-old Kayla

Scheid, who has been skiing since she was 6, said she enjoys spending time in the beautiful mountains and having fun with family.

But not all families come together on the slopes.

For Golden resident Abby Gardner, it’s about finding activities the whole family enjoys.

“My daughter hasn’t yet been bitten by the skiing bug,” Gardner said. “But (the kids) love to go sledding and just be out playing in the snow.”

Sledding is also the activity of choice for Laura Simpkins and her family because it is low cost and can be done anywhere there is a hill. The Simpkins family, who lives in Denver, also enjoys snowshoeing, which they do a lot of when visiting their

TIPS FOR SKIING WITH KIDS • Walking in skis is awkward, so practice moving around on skis. Find a gentle snow-covered slope at the resort for walking around in downhill boots and skis.

• Bring a pack. When skiing with small children, carry an extra pair of underwear (or diapers), baby wipes and mittens. Even older kids tend to get their mittens wet by lunchtime.

• Play games. The “I Spy” game on the lift is always a favorite.

• Focus on turns. Executing a solid turn is what makes skiing fun. A common mistake is telling kids to put their weight on one ski to initiate a turn. Instead, work on an athletic stance and getting skis on edge.

Skiing and snowboarding are just two of the many activities families can enjoy in the mountains during the winter months.

“It’s really good exercise,” Simpkins said of snowshoeing. “And you get to be outdoors and enjoy everything nature has to offer without paying an

WHERE TO GO Colorado has 26 ski areas and resorts throughout the state.

Kid-friendly ski resorts located at the base of mountains provide ski areas designated for young skiers, as well as childcare services.

The following ski resorts are less than a two-hour drive from Denver and have been given a family-friendly rating by colorado.com for their kid-friendly activities and slopes.

• To help children initiate turns, play follow the leader. The leader can pretend to be a favorite animal and each child picks a different animal. When turning, make noises to imitate that animal.

• Keystone

• Talk with lift operators. They are on high alert for beginning riders. If you are riding with a child or any beginner, let the lift operator know. They can slow down the oncoming chair and help you board and dismount.

exorbitant fee for it.”

Lakewood resident Carey Berry also enjoys snowshoeing with her children ages five and three.

“Both kids have snow shoes and love stomping around after it snows,”

OFF-THE-SLOPE FUN A weekend in the mountains doesn’t have to be on a slope. Colorado is home to many hot spots for snowshoeing and fat tire bike riding.

The versatility of snowshoes, their ability to put people in places they wouldn’t otherwise see at this time of year, explains much of the pastime’s growing popularity.

Rocky Mountain National Park — on the other side of the Rocky Mountains away from the traffic and big resort ski crowds along the I-70 corridor — offers several winter hiking trails to explore on snowshoe. West of Boulder, the Brainard Lake area near Ward offers snowshoeonly trails created by the Colorado Mountain Club. Many ski resorts also offer snowshoeing and other activities at their nordic centers.

Fat tire bike riding is one activity that is growing in popularity at nordic centers. The fat tire is designed to ride on loose surfaces, the obvious one being snow. The sport has been picking up over the past nine years and bikes are now readily available to buy and rent.

“They’ve started making kid versions, so users as young as 6 can ride,” said Jordyn Drayton with the Golden Bike Shop, which sells and rents fat bikes. “Less obvious is some older demographics that ride — the bikes are confidence-inspiring because they are very stable and very fun.”

she said.”We get out and sled or snowshoe or shovel the driveway as a family because it is all fun. The softness and quiet of snow is just magical and the kids are always happy to get out into it.

THERE AND BACK Bob Wilson of the Colorado Department of Transportation has this advice before you start your drive through the high country: Check road conditions.

You can do that by visiting cotrip.org to look at CDOT’s on-road cameras to see traffic conditions and what overhead signs are saying. This is also available on CDOT’s mobil app.

More than 30,000 vehicles pass through the Eisenhower Tunnel on a winter weekend day, with an average of 2.6 passengers in each vehicle.

To encourage mountain travelers to carpool, CDOT will host the second annual Mountain Rideshare Day on Saturday, Feb. 6. Travelers should stop by the Dinosaur lots in Golden the morning of Mountain Rideshare Day to get tires checked and enjoy complimentary chai from Bhakti Chai. Travelers can pick up a carpooler wristband at the CDOT station to receive discounts from participating resorts.

CDOT has partnered with the Front Range Ski Bus and Colorado Mountain Express to offer special discounts for Mountain Rideshare Day.

‘Mixed Bag’ is apt title for student show Arapahoe Community College exhibition wraps up on Jan. 13

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the holidays started on Dec. 15, a nicely installed new student exhibit was hung in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts, with top works from the fall quarter.

Appropriately called “Mixed Bag,” it includes ceramics, jewelry, paintings, photography and installations and sometimes a mix of materials and techniques in a given work, such as Tanis Rustage’s “The Sky is the Limit,” a storytelling conceptual art piece that required craftsmanship and a sense of humor, as well as a painter’s training.

There are about 44 individual pieces exhibited, including a couple of sizable installations and small intricate metal pieces by jewelry students. Some of the latter were wearable, but others seemed to be miniature sculptures — treasures that would require a very special display spot where one

Two installations are created by Kristi Gonzales: “Sold to the Highest Bidder,” in a corner directly across from the entrance, is a look at human trafficking. It includes a collection of tiny, toddler-sized Crocs hanging in rows. An accompanying flier says: “These Crocs are plastic, brightlycolored and perfectly manufactured. Each one represents the innocence residing in every victim of human trafficking and that sacred piece of them is hanging by a thread, tied up in a pretty bow, waiting to be sold …” The artist’s other installation contains a large flock of Japanese folded paper cranes, created with newspaper. It hangs in the center of the high-ceilinged gallery.

Trish Sangelo hang some paintings when we visited.

She has returned to college to fulfill her need “more and more, to paint,” after five years of working with autistic students, she said.

Her painting “The Final,” at four feet by six feet, is a brightly colored, happy image of exploding fireworks, and “Pop Space” pairs a Superwoman type with a Monument Valley sort of landscape that makes one

smile while fabricating a story about it.

Sangelo commented that this is the second year for a number of new art faculty members, and the exhibit indicates a look toward pursuing a BFA degree at a four-year college.

Visitors might also focus on the collection of six white panels to the left of the entrance, which repeat the theme of the recent show geared towards blind students attending ACC. Each is by a different artist

“The Sky is the Limit” by Tania Rustage is a conceptual n artwork created from ceramics, d paint and mixed media. and includes a beautifully rendered black Oriental-looking image, a white ceramic image, a Haiku poem and a Braille translation. Really striking, the collection is created by Alyssa Quispe, Erik Anders, Mikayla Marlow, Graham Lang, Kate Simon and Heather Harries.

SMITH FROM PAGE 10

Carroll’s 1865 novel is a labyrinth of unmatched imagery and language.

It influenced the Jefferson Airplane, Monty Python and me.

My research about naps confirmed what I hoped would be true. They are beneficial, for lots of reasons.

There have been numerous studies, and not a single one warns against them.

One said that someone who naps regularly is 10 times less likely to say use the word “infrastructure” in public.

That’s good enough for me.

My roommate approves of my naps too. Smitty takes a nap with me, wakes up, checks his messages, and takes another nap.

Many well-known men were nappers.

Napoleon could nap at the drop of a hat.

Winston Churchill. John F.

Kennedy. Ronald Reagan (no jokes, please). And my dream director, Salvador Dali.

When I was younger, I avoided naps if I could, because napping during the day affected sleeping at night.

Somehow or other, that was taken care of.

However, I haven’t gotten eight hours of uninterrupted sleep at night since Mookie Wilson was president. No. That was one of my strange dreams.

It’s been years, and probably my retirement had something to do with it.

I might be abed now at 9 p.m., and back at it around 2 a.m.

A few hours at night and I’m good, and ready to go.

But I always look forward to spending the afternoon with my pals: Wynken, Blynken, and Nod. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Coors Western Art Exhibit comes back for 24th year Taos painter’s landscape is featured work for event

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Coors Western Art Exhibit and Sale is in its 24th year, featuring works by 66 contemporary realists from North America and Europe on display at the National Western Complex Expo Hall, Third Floor, through Jan. 22, open during Stock Show hours.

“Community,” a gentle landscape by Diane K. Worman of Taos, is chosen as the 2017 featured artwork and is printed on the show’s official poster, available for sale. (The original will join others in the National Western collection.)

Worman’s oil painting on canvas measures five feet by four feet and shows a snowy field sloping up to an old traditional red barn and farmhouse, with purple mountains in the background. A few black cattle dot the field, giving some perspective to how huge it is.

On Jan. 3, there was a gala reception where many of the paintings sold to area collectors. Money raised by this and other National Western Stock Show events provides scholarships for more than 80 college students in medicine, agriculture and veterinary medicine through the National Western Scholarship Trust.

In 2016, the Art Show and Sale raised $1.1 million in ticket and art sales.

Worman was born in Midland,

Texas, attended college at Colorado State University at Fort Collins and received a BA from Metropolitan State University in Denver.

She then moved to Wyoming and studied with William Wright, who introduced her to pastels. She began exploring and recording images of land in northern New Mexico and moved to Taos, where she continued to develop her “stacked landscapes.” They are often broken up by small images of white-faced black cattle that lead the eye across the land.

The recipients of the 2017 award are Joanne and Bill Sinclaire, ranchers in the Castle Rock area.

Joanne Sinclaire served on the art show committee for 10 years and the Sinclaires have purchased many art pieces. She has been involved with many other aspects of the stock show and has developed a passion for land conservation as a board member for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust the past 15 years. He is a lifetime rancher, involved in both commercial and purebred operations and many aspects of the horse industry. He has served as board member for the National Western Stock Show Association since 1962, on the Douglas County School Board, Douglas County Cattleman’s Association and as trustee for the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver Art Museum, History Colorado and more.

For more information, visit nationalwestern.com. Art show curator Rose Frederick can be reached at 303-733-4755 or rosegfrederick@comcast.net. She has also curated art shows at Parker’s PACE Center.

STOCK SHOW STUNT RIDING

Kylie Martinez, a member of the Westernaires, performs riding tricks Jan. 8 at the National Western Stock Show. The stock show, which also features Colorado’s largest trade show, has been in Denver for 111 years.

SESSION FROM PAGE 6

Care Act this session.

Colorado’s Medicaid insurance for the needy costs the state $6.4 billion annually. One in five residents is already on Medicaid, and nearly 1.5 million residents will depend on it this year.

Western Slope residents pay some of the highest premiums in the country under the health law — and they have only one provider. Lawmakers will be under pressure to help without clear guidance from Washington.

Hickenlooper also is asking legislators to crack down on the so-called “gray’’ — if not outright illegal — pot market.

He cites liberal rules on the number of

marijuana plants recreational users and caregiver can grow, and he contends drug cartels are taking advantage of those rules to export Colorado pot harvests to other states.

The governor wants more information from people who grow pot on behalf of sick people and a ban on recreational pot users putting together large communal grows.

Eyes also will be on both Congress and local environmental rules regarding enduring topics central to Coloradans: energy, protecting jobs for those who develop it, and the uncertain future of state and federal plans to keep it clean.

“We don’t know what dictates, or removal of dictates, from Washington, D.C., may do to us,’’ Grantham said.

Smaller ski resorts tout authenticity to compete Consolidation by big companies drives independents to stand out

BY KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

A budget ski resort in western Colorado came up with an eye-popping offer — a $700 lift ticket, the most expensive in the nation. Only this lift ticket comes with a sweet bonus: a pair of handcrafted skis made from Colorado wood.

Gimmicky? Sure. But Sunlight Mountain Resort says that in an era of increasing ski-industry consolidation, where a handful of companies control more and more winter sport terrain, scrappy independent resorts need all the help they can get to compete with amenity-laden megaresorts.

From baking fresh doughnuts for skiers to displaying local art to play up a sense of community, smaller, independent resorts say they have to rely on personality.

“It’s the difference between Budweiser or a craft brew,” said Troy Hawks, Sunlight’s head of marketing and sales.

The ski industry used to be dominated by independent resorts, where

downhill and cross-country skiers would drive to a local mountain, maybe get a fireside cup of hot chocolate in a lodge, then drive home. A ski area with an on-mountain hotel was a rarity; one with nighttime entertainment and white-tablecloth dining would be a true destination.

Starting in the 1980s, larger conglomerate companies started consolidating ski areas, investing heavily to make their mountains 12-month vacation destinations.

They made room for upstart snowboarders. Added spas and skiing lessons for kids. Built condominiums and larger hotels. Allowed guests to buy one pass good at several mountain resorts.

Consolidation expanded in spurts.

The trend hit a new milestone last October when Vail Resorts of Broomfield spent $1.05 billion to buy Canada’s Whistler Blackcomb Holdings Inc., North America’s biggest and busiest ski resort. The purchase brought Vail Resorts to a dozen ski areas, all of them destination resorts that court overnight guests.

“We’re seeing homogenization in the industry, no question,” said David Norden, CEO of Taos Ski Valley Inc., an independently owned resort in New Mexico.

Mega ski operators like Vail can afford to advertise worldwide, and they grab headlines when they grow.

But an industry association that tracks skier visits says that smaller, independent resorts are holding their own.

“There’s the visible national destination resorts, but there’s a whole other aspect of the industry made up of resorts that are closer to home, that they’re easily accessible, affordable, and in many cases specialize in teaching people how to ski,” said Michael Berry, president of the National Ski Areas Association, based in Lakewood.

Just a fraction of the nations’ 463 ski areas are owned by multi-mountain conglomerates, and no one counts how many of the 57 million or so annual skier visits are made to independently owned mountains, Berry said.

But he conceded that consolidation isn’t going away, making it imperative that independent resorts keep locals coming back.

“The better they do, the more likely they are to be a target for acquisition. It’s one of those ironic realities,” Berry said.

Owners of the independent mountains say they’re trying to buck the consolidation trend by competing with personality.

At Taos, resort owners are investing in local art to play up the region’s acclaim for Southwestern art, especially pottery and textiles.

“As with any business, it’s important to try to come up with, `What is your differentiating factor?’”

Norden said.

One Colorado resort uses its lack of amenities as an attraction. Silverton Mountain in southwest Colorado has no terrain for beginners or intermediates. No ski school. No hotel. Just one lift and 1,800 acres of uncrowded terrain for expert skiers.

No frills. Just thrills.

“We set ourselves apart by limiting the daily skier visits and making the experience the opposite of others,” said Silverton Mountain co-founder Jen Brill, who happily boasts that her mountain sees as many skiers in a season as the megaresort Breckenridge Ski Resort sees in a busy winter weekend.

Another independent resort touts its family-friendly vibe, taking pride in its lack of alcohol sales and abundance of ski lessons.

Brad Moretz, co-owner of Appalachian Ski Mtn. in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, said independent resorts simply need to play up their differences to keep a hold in a consolidating industry.

“There are lots of people that look for a more personal experience,” Moretz said. “The conglomerates do a good job, but there is absolutely no replacement for pride of ownership.”

Castle View shows improvement on ice Embracing variety is something special

Sabercats drop tight contest with Valor Christian

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle View’s hockey team was hoping to deliver a message in the Jan. 6 Highlands Conference game against Valor Christian at the Family Sports Center in Centennial.

The message might have been a little muffled since the Sabercats lost 4-3 in overtime, but Castle View did convey the point that this season’s team is one that can’t be overlooked.

Castle View, a squad with players from Douglas County, Ponderosa, Legend , Chaparral and Castle View high schools, went 7-11 in its first campaign last season, and the Sabercats are 5-3 this year and showing signs of improvement with each game.

“This was a big contest for us to see where we are,” Castle View coach Al Quintana said. “This was kind of a measuring stick for us to see if we can play with the best teams in the state. Valor was ranked fifth and we took them to the wire and they know we did. We should have had it. They got a couple lucky bounces and it went their way.”

Key moments Valor senior defenseman Brendon Beaver scored 25 seconds into overtime following a scramble in front of the net and it marked the third goal in 86 seconds in a wild finish to the game.

“Michael Brown came out of the corner and passed it to me,” Beaver said. “I got to the net and put it in.

T

Valor Christian’s Luke Lonneman controls the puck in the corner in front of Castle View’s Kyle Mcentee during the Jan. 6 Highlands Conference game at Family Sports Center. Lonneman had two goals in the game including a tally with 21 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. Valor won 4-3 in OT with Brendon Beaver scoring the winning goal.

JIM BENTON I was in the right place at the right time.”

Castle View took a 3-2 lead on Mike Gaudio’s goal with 1:01 left in regulation. Valor pulled its goalie and junior Luke Lonneman was credited with the tying goal with 21 seconds remaining, which sent the game into a 5-minute overtime.

KEEPING SCORE WITH...

RYAN HOLT Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete?

Michael Jordan. He was my Dad’s favorite, and watching back on what he did with the game just amazes me.

What is your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist/group?

My favorite type of music would be country and the Zac Brown Band.

What is your favorite subject in school?

History. I just like to know about the past because it is interesting to me.

Do you play video games, and if so, which one(s)?

I like any type of game but mostly the ones with huge maps and free range like “Skyrim.”

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals?

Take a hot shower and stretch, and I have an order in which I stretch.

What is your favorite book?

“Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief.” I just loved the book.

What are your plans for after high school graduation?

I plan to go to college and major in sports and exercise science.

KEEPING SCORE WITH... is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or some you know would llike to participate.

Key players/statistics Lonneman had two goals and Mason Hoehn finished with two points for the Eagles with a goal and assist.

John Fulton, Ty Johnson and Gaudio scored Castle View’s goals. Gaudio also was credited with an assist.

ess Boade is a special athlete who isn’t following the trend of sports specialization.

Many organizations, including the NCAA, United States OlymOVERTIME pic Committee and professional sports leagues, have voiced their opposition to early specialization, in which young athletes train for and play only one sport.

Boade, a senior at Valor Christian, Jim Benton is an elite soccer player who committed to compete at Duke when she was a sophomore.

She has played in the Olympic Development Program and the Elite Club National League for Colorado Real.

However, she is playing on Valor’s defending Class 4A state championship basketball team and she participated in track and field last season.

She will play soccer this spring for the Eagles and not run track.

After nine games this season, the 5-foot-4 Boade leads team in scoring with 12.4 points per game. She is also averaging 2.8 assists and 4.6 steals.

“I kind of grew up playing basketball,” Boade said. “My mom played in college. I actually wasn’t going to play basketball this year. As of the first day of the season, I decided to play. It’s hard to do both. Coach (Jessika Caldwell) is awesome in helping me balance the schedule.

“In my soccer world, they all hate that I play basketball but I just think it refreshes my mind. When you do the same thing over and over you get sick of it. So many people get burned out. The other thing is both sports help each other. When you came back to soccer after basketball, there’s just something about it that I can see the play and the angles and stuff.”

Sooner or later, however, schedules conflict.

Boade will miss a Valor basketball game Jan. 20 and a state playoff game Feb. 17-20 because of a club soccer commitment.

State basketball leaders Basketball has resumed after the much-too-long holiday break and it’s time to glance at the state statistical leaders.

There are plenty of area Class 5A and 4A boys and girls ranked in the top 10 in various categories and there are a few state leaders, especially in the 4A ranks.

Local hockey standout propels U.S. to gold Shootout goals lead Americans past Russia and Canada

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Troy Terry, the Highlands Ranch native and sophomore on the University of Denver hockey team, was flooded with emotion as he and his teammates on the United States World Junior team sang the national anthem.

Terry’s shootout goals in the semifinals and finals helped the United States win the gold medal at the 2017 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championships, which concluded Jan. 5 in Montreal.

“There were so many emotions,” said Terry, recalling standing with his teammates during the awards ceremony after he scored the lone, game-winning shootout goal in the 5-4 victory over Canada that gave the Americans their fourth World Junior Championship gold medal and first since 2013 as Team USA went

undefeated in the tournament.

“I was proud to be an American and proud of the group of guys. All the support I got from people all over the country showed what the win meant.

It is something will always remember.”

Terry received support from somebody special to he and his father Chuck. He was named after former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman and he received two tweets from Aikman to congratulate him and the U.S. team.

“Troy Aikman was a big idol and he sent tweets to me,” Terry, 19, said. “That was special and probably more special for my Dad.” In the United States’ 4-3 shootout win over Russia in the semifinals, Terry scored three goals, including the decisive tally in the seven-round shootout. All three goals were scored five-hole (through the goalie’s legs).

Then in the finale against Canada, Terry was the fourth U.S. player in the shootout and he went five-hole again and got the only score for the U.S. “I was not known as a shootout specialist before this,”

In Denver’s 6-1 win over Arizona State on Jan. 7, Troy Terry had a careerhigh five points, with two goals and three assists.

COURTESY OF SHANNON VALERIO Terry said. “The five-hole has kind of been my go-to move.

I wasn’t going to go five-hole against Canada. I figured the goalie was expecting me to shoot there. It opened up and that’s where I went.”

Terry went to Rock Canyon High School as a freshman and sophomore and played six seasons with the Colorado Thunderbirds club team. He also

was part of the USA Hockey National Team development program, where he gained some international experience.

He committed to DU when George Gwozdecky, currently the Valor Christian high school coach, was coaching the Pioneers. In 19 games with DU this season, Terry has 11 goals and is tied for the team lead with 22 points.

The chilly outside temperatures did nothing to lessen the hot competition in the water at the Northridge Recreation Center pool on Jan. 3 as Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista faced off in a dual swimming meet.

Event wins were about even as Mountain Vista entries finished first in five events while Rock Canyon entries won six events.

However, the Jaguars won the meet in Highlands Ranch because Rock Canyon earned additional points as a result of the team having more entries in most events. The final tally showed the Jaguars outpointed the Golden Eagles 204 to 128 in varsity competition and 215 to 99 in JV competition.

Rock Canyon Coach Nicole Vanderpool said there is a fantastic chemistry among the swimmers on this year’s team. She said freshmen through seniors regularly work together and they make her proud of their devotion to the sport and their sportsmanship.

“We are a big team this year with about 75 swimmers on the roster,” she said. “We do have challenges arranging practices because our daily 90-minute practices times and locations at the different recreation center change frequently. But we deal with it and push ahead.”

She said the team is a mix of returning veterans and talented newcomers.

The coach said some amazing freshmen

Emma Buchanan swims the back stroke leg for the Mountain Vista 200-meter medley relay team during the Jan. 3 dual swimming meet against Rock Canyon, held at the Northridge Recreation Center.

TOM MUNDS swimming in distance events like the 500 freestyle may be a surprise to opponents this season. She said there are also some fast sprinters competing in the 50 and the 100 freestyle events.

Relays are team strengths for Rock Canyon, which won all three junior varsity relays and two of the three varsity relays. Individual winning events for the Jaguars included Jessica Beckwith in the 100 freestyle, Regan Mathieson in the 500 freestyle, and Makenna Mathieson in the 200 individual medley and the 200 backstroke.

Mountain Vista Coach Rob Nassar

said he has about 40 athletes out for the team this season.

“We have a good team made up of a lot of new talent looking to prove themselves, so swimming against Rock Canyon is a good test for us,” he said. “I feel our sprint event fits us well and is the strength of our team this year.”

The Golden Eagles freestyle swimmers accounted for team wins in three varsity events. Holley Dennis won the 200 freestyle, Natalie Arky won the 50 freestyle, and Mountain Vista won the 200 freestyle relay. Dennis also won the 100 butterfly and Arky won the 100 breaststroke He said it is a challenge not having a pool at the high school.

“All four of the Highlands Ranch schools face the same challenge,” he said. “The result is we get a 90-minute block of time for practice each day at one of the three Highlands Ranch recreation centers, but we have to communicate well with the kids because the times and locations of practices change.”

He said he probably could have a larger team if there was more space and practice time.

Jaguar Makenna Mathieson had a good meet as she won two individual events, the 200 individual medley and the 100-meter backstroke plus she was a member of the both the winning 200 medley relay team and the 400 freestyle relay team.

“Troy committed to us and he was still playing for the Thunderbirds at the time,” Gwozdecky said. “I remember sitting with him and his mom and dad in my office. Unfortunately I never had a chance to coach him, but we knew he was going to be a pretty good player.”

Gwozdecky said Terry almost didn’t make the U.S. World team but Steve Miller, former DU associate coach and current Air Force Academy director of hockey and World Junior assistant coach, pleaded that it would be a mistake to leave Terry off the team.

“They had their main camp in August and they were going to cut him because he just didn’t do a whole lot,” Gwowdecky said. “Steve Miller was the one who recruited him to come to Denver and Steve said we have to keep this kid around and at least watch his progress in October and November.

“He’s made some great progress in three months at DU and so they kept him on the team M and it was good they did. Troy t did a heck of a job.” f 6 a

followed along with them,” she said. “I didn’t like swimming at first. I didn’t like all the practice you had to put in to cut half a second off your time. But I grew to love the sport and it is the only sport I do.”

She said that during high school season, she spends eight to 10 hours a week in practice and each day swims one to two miles.

“It is fun sometimes, but most of the time, all the practice isn’t fun,” she said. “But I love the sport and my favorite event is the backstroke because I am good at it and it is the most fun.”

Rock Canyon senior Sydnie Saddoris also started swimming when she was a little girl, fell in love with the sport and stuck with it.

Normally a sprint-distance freestyler, she finished fifth in the 500 freestyle.

However, she joined forces with teammates Arky, Meghan Maleri and Dennis to win the 200 freestyle relay. She also was a member of the second-place 400 freestyle relay team.

“I started swimming when I was little and fell in love with the sport because she loves the water,” she said. “Swimming is physically demanding but I think the hardest thing about being swimmer is the mental challenge. You can push through physical issues but sometimes it is very hard to overcome the challenges of swimming mentally.”

She said swimming is important to her, so athletically she is focused on swimming and plans to continue in the sport.

They said it “It was fun game,” Quintana said. “I wish we would have come out on top. Bounces didn’t go our way. Brandon Hanson (Castle View goalie) played a superb game, it was just a couple bad bounces in the last couple minutes.”

Quintana likes what he’s seen in the second season of the Castle View hockey program.

“We ended up with 47 kids trying out this year, which is a big change from last year,” he said. “Securing ice from Family Sports was a big deal because we were traveling over Monument Hill last season for practice and games and it was a big draw to be up here.”

Former University of Denver coach George Gwozdecky, who is in his second season guiding Valor, has turned around the

program. The Eagles were 10-9-1 a year ago, but this season are ranked fifth in the CHSAANow poll with an 8-1 overall record and a 6-0 mark in the Foothills Conference after a 9-3 win over Rampart on Jan. 7.

“We had a real close, hardfought game against Castle View a month ago (4-3 win),” Gwozdecky said. “We knew they had some pretty good offensive firepower, they have some big boys and we’re undersized.”

Going forward Castle View came back from the Valor loss with a 9-0 rout of Mullen on Jan. 7. Hunter Meissner, Fulton, JP Perez and Jared Perez each had two goals in the win over the Mustangs, with Jared Perez credited with four points. The Sabercats plays Heritage Jan. 12.

Valor, coming off the win over Rampart in which Lonneman had two goals, takes on Crested Butte Jan. 13.

Small study may offer hope for addiction Home medication use appeared to prevent abuse while waiting for treatment program

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

People hooked on prescription painkillers were able to use a drug at home to curb cravings and prevent abuse while waiting to get in a treatment program, according to a small study that gives hope for a new way to fight the opioid problem.

The drug used in the study is usually only given under supervision of a doctor or in settings like jails or treatment programs, but waiting lists are

often months long at many clinics.

“Folks are dying, overdosing, contracting HIV and hepatitis on wait lists,” said Stacey Sigmon, a psychologist and drug abuse researcher at the University of Vermont.

She sought a way to tide people over, using a tamper-resistant electronic pill dispenser to allow home use.

The drug, buprenorphine, also sold as Suboxone, attaches to the same brain receptors that opioids like OxyContin, heroin and Vicodin do, so it eases withdrawal symptoms and prevents a “high” if those other drugs are used. Buprenorphine itself is an opioid, so it, too, can be abused at high doses, but it is chemically different and has somewhat less potential for that.

“We programmed the device to make each day’s dose only available in a three-hour period,” she said. Users

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

had to see researchers regularly for pill counts and drug tests, and got daily phone calls to check on how they were.

Results were dramatic. Of the 25 people given the device, 88 percent tested free of illicit opioids at four weeks. At eight weeks it was 84 percent and at 12 weeks, 68 percent. None of 25 others in the study who got no anti-addiction care tested clean at any point.

“It’s a huge effect. It is a remarkable difference in outcomes,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

A grant from the U.S. government paid for the pilot study; researchers are seeking a larger one now to look at longer home treatment.

Just over half of participants were able to get into a comprehensive addiction treatment program by the end of

the pilot trial. Results were reported in a letter in the Dec. 22 New England Journal of Medicine.

In a second letter in the journal, doctors working with the Gloucester, Massachusetts, police department report on a project to curb overdoses — the Angel Program — which offers referral and transportation to treatment programs without arrest.

Gloucester’s program averaged more than a case a day in its first year of operation. From June 2015 through last May, 376 people sought help a total of 429 times. About 37 percent of them lived in Gloucester or the surrounding county, 40 percent were from other parts of the state, 17 percent were homeless, and the rest were from other states.

Similar projects have been adopted by 153 other police departments in 28 states, researchers report.

Sec. 18-3-40. Amendments.

R401.3.1 Drainage Plan Design Elements.

The Drainage Plan shall be lot specific, and shall provide the detailed final grading for the lot, and or disturbed area(s). The Drainage Plan shall reflect information provided in the Phase III Drainage Plan for the given area and comply with the following requirements: 1. Slope Requirements. A minimum constant slope of 10% and a maximum constant slope of 33% in the first 10 feet away from the foundation walls and window wells shall be established for pervious surfaces. All other disturbed areas shall have a minimum of 2% slope. All pervious and impervious areas shall slope continuously to the lowest point where stormwater discharges from the lot (e.g., sidewalk, gutter, inlet, adjacent property, or easement). At this point, the discharge water shall be dispersed into a sheet flow and directed in a manner as to not cause harm to downslope properties. Where minimum slopes cannot be attained, alternate means to adequately convey the water from the lot shall be designed and submitted by the Designer to the Building Division for acceptance.

Impervious surfaces adjacent to the foundation shall have adequate drainage away from the foundation as determined by the Designer.

Refer to the International Residential Code, as amended, for specific requirements.

2. Drainage Swales. Drainage swales may not be located within the foundation backfill zone unless limited by property lines. Drainage swales shall have adequate depth, width and longitudinal gradient to convey the stormwater off the lot in an effective, non-damaging manner.

Drainage swales shall be designed to spread flows out as much as feasible.

3. Retaining Walls. Proposed slopes steeper than 3 to 1 are difficult to vegetate and maintain.

Long term rill and gully erosion are likely on such slopes. Approved permanent stabilization shall be required to control grades on sites that cannot be graded at a 3 to 1 slope. Retaining walls may be necessary to control grades on a site. Retaining walls shall not encroach onto adjacent properties. Retaining walls taller than 4 feet (including footing) or that carry a surcharge require a separate Building Permit and shall be designed by a Professional Engineer.

4. Driveways. Driveways shall have a minimum slope of 2% away from the foundation for a distance that will allow adequate drainage away from the garage entrance as determined by the Designer.

5. Downspouts and Sump Pumps. Downspouts and sump pumps shall discharge a minimum of 4 feet away from the foundation wall and outside the foundation backfill zone unless limited by property lines. Downspouts shall not directly discharge onto adjacent properties.

6. Designing to the Phase III Drainage Plan. The Designer shall ensure that the Drainage Plan functions in accordance with the Phase III Drain-

R401.3.3 DESC Inspections.

R401.3.3.1 Final Grade Inspection.

Final Grade inspection shall be made after the permitted work is complete and prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.

R401.3.3.2 Other Inspections.

In addition to the called inspection above, the Building Official may make or require any other inspections to ascertain compliance with this code or other laws enforced by the Building Official.

R401.3.4 Final Drainage Certificate.

To ensure conformance with the approved design and to ensure adequate drainage away from the foundation and off the lot, a Final Drainage Certificate shall be certified by a Registered Professional Engineer (PE) or a Registered Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) and approved by the City of Lone Tree before a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued. The following items shall be clearly illustrated on a copy of the approved Drainage Plan: · All vertical and horizontal deviations to grades, drains, spot elevations, slopes and drainage patterns throughout the lot as shown on the approved DESC Plan. · Location(s) of the sump pump discharge, if applicable. · The Final Drainage Certificate shall be signed and stamped by a PE or a PLS. The Drainage Certificate requirement will be waived for non-habitable accessory structures and small additions if: · Compliant drainage has been verified by the Inspector during a Final Grade Inspection.

R401.3.5 DESC Permit Closeout.

DESC Permits will be closed at the completion of construction and prior to the approval of the Certificate of Occupancy only when the following conditions are met: 1. All of the previously disturbed soil areas are covered with the building structure, grass/sod, rock, mulch, pavers, or other approved landscape materials; or 2. In the case that landscaping improvements have not been completed, the Permittee(s) shall install the Final Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs shown on the approved DESC Plan. Additional sediment controls may be required at the discretion of the Inspector in order to protect adjacent lots and the storm sewer system.

R401.3.6 Posting Surety.

The City of Lone Tree recognizes that, in some cases, final grading and drainage measures cannot be immediately achieved prior to the need to close a transaction, and occupy a property. In the event that the final grading and drainage measure cannot be completed prior to the need for a Certificate of Occupancy, Surety and a DESC permit fee shall be posted with the Building Division. The Certificate of Occupancy will be released upon receipt of the Surety and after the Inspector has verified that the Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs are effectively implemented in accordance with the approved
