MY NAME IS

WAYNE BENNINGTON

Rodeo enthusiast, owner of Bennington Mercantile

About me I’m originally from back east but I moved out here in 1975 with the whole family — my wife, Teresa, I have an older son, Joel, and my younger son is Jaret. My mom’s side all lived out here so we use to come out here all the time and get active in horses and rodeo. In the early 1980s and 1990s I worked in the corporate world and sales. I just wanted to get out of that business and into something of my own. That’s when we approached opening a feed store and it just went from there.

Rodeo roping I team roped for 20-something years. I basically, due to injuries, gave that up in the last dozen years. Now my young son is in college and is on the rodeo program in team roping too. He is up in Wyoming. So that is exciting to follow him. Trying to get the parts working here again so I can try to get back into roping with him.

Running the business We’re the eighth owner in a 100plus year old business. We bought the store — it was Castle Rock Feed and Supply — and then we changed it to

Castle Rock Feed and Western Wear to let people know there was clothing. Then about, probably less than 10 years ago, we decided to change the business to Bennington Mercantile. The reason that was done was because when you were Castle Rock Feed and Western Wear, you would see people and they would say, “Well sorry, I don’t own a horse or a cow so that doesn’t give them a reason to come into the store.”

Most of the county is large barns, boarding facilities. We supply a lot of horse feed to a lot of these large horse facilities. And then through the years we have diversified to we have added more clothing and then we have gifts and the toys for the kids and then lots of dog food. And our focus with the dog food is we, being a small-business family, we believe in small-business family — 70 percent of our dog foods are family owned. When I look at companies like that we don’t find recalls, or issues with these companies, other than just good history. We sell lots of dog food. Any feed we sell is 100 percent guaranteed.

My advice I can remember my dad always telling me, money doesn’t grow on trees. Get out there and work. My dad always said — if you want to earn the money, get out there and earn it.

Wayne Bennington moved to Castle Rock in 1975 and has owned Bennington Mercantile since 1994.

Man pleads guilty to killing wife in Castle Rock Richard Allan Lockett gets mandatory sentence of life without parole

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an unexpected move, Richard Allan Lockett, the Limon man accused of killing his estranged wife in Castle Rock in 2015, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder on Jan. 31, forgoing his jury trial planned for March.

The guilty plea carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without Lockett the chance of parole.

Lockett, 46, was accused of killing his estranged wife, Kirsten Lockett, 36, after what family members describe as years of psychological terror.

Prosecutors were braced for a 10day trial scheduled in March.

“It’s a pretty rare thing,” said Chris Gallo, chief deputy district attorney for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. “If we had to do this trial, the children would have

had to testify.”

Kirsten Lockett’s oldest daughter, Kayla Stitely, and Kirsten’s sister, Chantel Schoneboom, provided testimony at the hearing.

“He took away my mother,” Stitely said. “He tore our family apart.”

Lockett’s lawyers said he chose to enter the guilty plea against their counsel.

Lockett sat through most of the Jan. 31 hearing saying little more than “yes ma’am” or “no ma’am” to the judge. He made a brief statement before the court accepted his plea and a judge sentenced him.

“I’d like to apologize to my family for all of the hurt I’ve caused,” he said. “I pled guilty because it was the right thing to do. I’m sorry.”

Lockett had entered a plea of not guilty in January 2016. Members of his defense team said in July of last year they were contemplating a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity or mental defect.

On July 18, 2015, police responded to a domestic disturbance call and reports of an intruder in the Founders Village neighborhood of Castle Rock. Emergency responders arrived and pronounced Kirsten Lockett dead on scene.

Felony charge added in crash that killed state trooper Prison time possible for Denver man

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than a dozen Colorado State Patrol troopers, Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office deputies and employees of the state patrol lined the walls and filled two of the three benches in a Douglas County courtroom, effectively surrounding the driver suspected in a crash that killed Trooper Cody Donahue in November.

Noe Gamez-Ruiz, 41, appeared in court Jan. 31 to hear charges against him, including a class 5 felony charge of criminally negligent homicide that was added late last week after further investigation.

The new charge carries a presumptive sentencing range of one to three years in prison. Gamez-Ruiz, of Denver, originally faced misdemeanor charges of careless driving resulting in death and failure to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle. Those

s o charges, which carry no prison time,t c still apply.

Colorado State Patrol Chief Scott M Hernandez attended the hearing, wearing a blue bracelet e N that read “Move Over for Cody,” given to him a t

by Donahue’s widow.

“We’re a family,” Her- p nandez said. “We take o care of each other and a b we should be here.”

Donahue, an 11-year e Gamez-Ruiz patrol veteran, husband c and father of two, was 3 assigned to the Castle Rock state patrol office. o On Nov. 25 at approxi- a mately 1:50 p.m., he was S investigating a non-in- c jury accident on north- w c bound I-25 south of Castle Rock with fellow state trooper Matthew t Donahue a Normandin. t Both troopers’ marked cars s were on the side of the road with patrol lights on, according to an d g SEE TROOPER, P21 H

Sam’s Club opens in Castle Rock Local members happy to see convenient location

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sam’s Club, a membership-based warehouse owned by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has joined the growing group of retailers that call Castle Rock home — something local club members say is an exciting development.

The Castle Rock Sam’s Club, located at 5940 Promenade Parkway, held a grand opening on Jan. 26. As part of the festivities, the store donated $50,000 to local organizations, including the Douglas County School District.

Mayor Jennifer Green, along with other council members, helped kick-start the morning. She spoke to attendees about the store’s potential benefits to the tax base, also noting it brought 200 jobs to Castle Rock.

“It will be nice to shop locally instead of traveling up I-25,” she said of the store’s closeness to home.

The next nearest Sam’s Club is on Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree — and it was the Castle Rock store’s convenience that piqued the interest of the first shoppers to explore the warehouse.

Tony Lensing of Castle Rock, a

Sam’s Club member since 2000, said he was surprised to find a robust alcohol section in the store. Lensing said he had previously driven to the Park Meadows location. He remarked at the size of the Castle Rock Sam’s Club, saying it might take time to learn the layout, but overall he was grateful for its close proximity to home.

“If we need something we can just zip over here,” he said.

Amy Douglas, a member for almost 20 years, agreed with Lensing as she scoped out deals on wine. Douglas said she’s lived in numerous states but the Castle Rock Sam’s Club is one of the largest she’s seen.

A few aisles over from Douglas, Jeni Knox shopped with her 1-year-old son Rogan. Knox said she looked forward to deals on children’s and household cleaning products, and having a Sam’s

Bill would OK gun training for school employees

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

A bill that recently advanced in the state Senate would allow teachers and other public school employees who have the proper permit to carry a handgun on campus after completing safety training.

The legislation is sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, and House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock. It would allow a county sheriff to provide a safetytraining course to any employee of any public elementary, middle, junior high or high school who has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, a summary of the bill says. Once that training is completed, the employee would be permitted to carry the handgun on campus.

Senate Bill 17-005 was approved by a 3-2 vote Jan. 24 by the Senate Committee on State, Veterans & Military Affairs and is likely to be considered by the full Senate, which is controlled by Republicans, this week. If it passes the Senate, it will face an unphill battle in the Democrat-controlled House.

Holbert noted that in rural areas of the state, where school districts have less access to law enforcement resources, teachers and staff are hired to be armed security with no training required.

“That does not mean someone that is dressed in uniform — that could be a gym teacher, math teacher, bus driver,” Holbert said. “I would like to see our

sheriffs develop training programs to work with school personnel, not just on guns, but on emergency response training.”

Holbert added that his bill encourages a greater level of training for all people who are armed in public schools, including law enforcement and private security guards.

State Sen. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, opposes the legislation, saying the answer to the possibility of gun violence in schools is not more guns.

“I think the bill is ill-advised and I shall be voting no on it,” he said.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock is among those in the law enforcement community who support the legislation. He said he is in favor of individual school districts, in cooperation with their communities, managing their safety and security with law enforcement.

“The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has long enjoyed a very good relationship with our Douglas County School District,” Spurlock said in an email correspondence. “The school security director and staff work very closely with the sheriff ’s office as it relates to security of the schools and the protection of the students and staff on all the campuses. I would support continued enhancement of their school security program and requests for additional training should that decision be made and training be

requested.”

As part of the bill, a county sheriff would consult with the school district in the sheriff ’s county to establish a curriculum for the safety-training course.

Individual school districts would need to approve the program set up by the sheriff and would be able to cap the number of employees who are permitted to carry a gun at each school.

“The school board would shop for what they think is the required level of training for their school district,” Holbert said. “Employees who do go through the training program would be authorized to carry a handgun on school premises.”

The County Sheriffs of Colorado, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and other groups support the handgun safetytraining bill.

“Turn criminal safe zones, which is what (public schools) are now, into dangerous zones for criminals,’’ said Dudley Brown, of the gun owners’ group.

Opponents who voiced opposition during a recent Senate hearing included several teachers, the Colorado PTA and two relatives of Mary Sherlock, a school psychologist slain in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, who argued the bill was a way to introduce more guns into schools and won’t prevent school shootings.

— The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Jeni Knox pushes a cart with son Rogan, 1, down an aisle in the Castle Rock Sam’s Club. Knox said she was looking forward to savings on kids and cleaning products with the new local location of the store.

Club nearby.

“And honestly,” she said with a laugh, “my kids are really looking forward to the samples.”

Club manager Tricia Trupp said the franchise wants to give back to its town. It’s why they donate to local organizations, she said, which can apply for grants year-round. Trupp thanked the community for its support, saying it was an honor to serve the town.

“Let’s get ready,” Trupp said, “to shop.”

Son rises as The Rock’s longtime pastor steps down JR Polhemus helped grow church to 3,500 members during his tenure

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After 29 years leading The Rock, a nondenominational Christian church in Castle Rock, Pastor JR Polhemus has, quite literally, passed the baton to his son, Mike Polhemus.

Mike left a career in engineering to join The Rock as an executive pastor in 2014. He said he never intended to become a pastor like his father.

Being a pastor is heavy work, Mike said. A pastor helps many people with their problems, carries their load as if it was his or her own, and works late nights. Mike has gotten accustomed to 17-hour workdays.

“You’re walking through life with people,” he said.

He only left engineering, he said, once an opening at The Rock became available and he believed, after months of prayer, it was his calling to pursue it.

JR will take a three-month sabbatical, saying it was simply the right time to step down as senior pastor.

He’ll return to The Rock as an associate pastor under his son.

The transition of power took place on Jan. 29 during JR’s final Sunday sermon. The congregation listened to JR reflect on his nearly 40 years in ministry before he acknowledged that transitions of power don’t always go well.

As an example, he pointed to the U.S. men’s 4x100-meter relay performance during the track and field competition at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Despite crossing the finish line third, the team was disqualified for an improper handoff, losing the bronze medal to Canada.

But JR has full faith in his son, he said, describing Mike as a person of excellence. So when it came time to step down, Mike joined him on stage.

To the laughter of their audience, the father-and-son duo grabbed a baton and completed a mock relay handoff to symbolize the transition.

And no, they didn’t drop the baton.

Ronnie Haynes is an 18-year member of The Rock and served as execu-

Pastor JR Polhemus passed the baton to son, Mike Polhemus, who took over as senior pastor of The Rock church in Castle Rock on Jan. 29. “You’re walking through life with people,” the new senior pastor said of his job duties.

COURTESY PHOTO tive pastor before Mike for 10 years.

He now serves as an elder with the church, and worked with both JR and Mike before his retirement.

“They’re great poeple and they have a huge heart for outreach and Castle Rock,” Haynes said. “That’s the major thing that Pastor JR is passing along to Mike. The love of people and Castle Rock and surrounding areas.”

He said their love for outreach is likely what spurred the church’s growth.

The road that led The Rock to its current membership of 3,500, with approximately 1,200 attending weekly Sunday services, had its highs and lows.

In 1988, JR took over a little Castle Rock church of 70 people who met in a warehouse. He would soon find out that the church was $50,000 in debt, he said. So, he kept his business job and commuted from Denver on Sundays.

JR wanted to turn away, he said.

But he also believed he heard God tell him his new congregation were sheep needing a shepherd. So, he stayed.

Growth came in spurts throughout the decades, Mike and JR said.

The time came for a new building, but securing the land where the church now sits was a battle in and of itself. Neighbors wanted it kept as open space, JR said, and the planning commission voted down the development plans. In an unexpected move, the town council approved the building despite the planning commission’s recommendation.

The Rock has enjoyed its home in The Meadows at 4881 Cherokee Drive since 2006 when the building project was completed.

These days, the church is staying busy.

Mike said The Rock works closely with both local government entities and other churches in Castle Rock.

The Rock was one of several churches to partner with Douglas County on the Winter Shelter Network, where the church houses homeless women and children during the winter months.

The Rock also hosts a free meal every Wednesday for residents of Castle

Rock. The events are meant to bring the community together. In 2016, they served 11,190 meals.

Part of The Rock’s mission is to “transform” the community through real action, he said.

“This is us getting out and radically loving people,” he said.

In a way, Mike said he feels guilty taking over The Rock when it is in good shape, keeping in mind the church’s state when his father first became its pastor.

But moving forward on the shoulders of his father, and his father’s wife Yvonne, who led women’s and children’s ministries, he hopes to continue the church’s mission.

“It’s amazing what they have done,” Mike said. “I do not take this lightly.”

JR called the past 29 years “gratifying,” and said working with his son was “an honor and a joy.” And, he believes his son is ready for the challenges ahead.

“As long as I’m on earth,” JR told the congregation Jan. 29, “I’m going to be rooting on my son.”

Puffing is illegal under state law, which prohibits leaving a vehicle running unless a remote starter is used or other security is in place.

The sheriff ’s office said more than 180 vehicles were reported stolen in the county in 2016, up 8 percent from the previous year. The agency joined forces with the Coloradoans Against Auto Theft, Colorado Auto Theft Investigators and other law enforcement agencies by participatig in Puffer Week from Jan. 23 to Jan. 27. Officers

looked for puffer vehicles and either cited owners or provided educational pamphlets.

Hidden archival gem saying farewell to longtime curator Douglas County History Repository worker set to retire in March

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Norma Miller and Mark Howard huddled over a small arrowhead held in the palm of Howard’s hand.

Before them was a table laden with more arrowheads, tips and “atlatls,” or spear-like tools that pre-date bow and arrow technology.

“Perfect,” Miller and Howard called the artifacts from Blackfoot Cave, some of which were carved with antlers.

Several minutes later Miller poured a cup of coffee — her morning ritual — when Howard walked up holding a flat, round and rusted object.

“Oh!” Miller exclaimed, before identifying the disc as a stove lid — the kind one might see topping a woodburning stove.

The item was discovered at a historical home along Highway 83, Miller said, where they took home more than a single stove lid.

They found the hubcap of an Overland Willys Touring car they believe to be from 1913 or 1914, and within the home many women’s items. The finds showed there was a female in the house, Howard said, and indicated the family had children.

“So, we’re putting the story together of who lived there,” Howard said. “Forensically.”

A hidden gem The history buffs aren’t mere hobbyists. They are two of the loyal workers who spend hours a week at the Douglas County History Repository — a county facility that isn’t open to the public because of its valuable historical contents.

This year the repository will celebrate its 10th anniversary, but also the retirement of Miller — its archaeologist and curator.

“Norma’s passionate and tireless dedication to the preservation of Douglas County’s prehistory, history and heritage is not only a gift to the citizens of Douglas County — young and old — but to archaeologists worldwide,” Douglas County Commissioner David Weaver said.

The repository was established by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in 2007. The facility researches, preserves and houses prehistorical and historical artifacts from Douglas County.

The repository’s success is largely credited to the devotion of Miller.

Miller began her career as an educator. She taught music in the late 1960s until she and her husband had children, at which point she became a stay-at-home mother.

When her children had all left the house she chose to pursue school once more.

In 1993, Miller earned her degree in anthropology with an emphasis in archeology from Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Hundreds gather at Capitol to promote school choice Similar events took place around the country

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jordan Smith, a fifth-grade student at Golden View Classical Academy, stood on the steps of the state Capitol and spoke about her school and the opportunities it provides.

She said she likes the books they read at her school in Golden, including “Sherlock Holmes and The Secret Garden.” She called her education “a gift.”

“It’s perfect for me,” she said.

Smith was one of hundreds of people from around Colorado who gathered in Denver to advocate for school choice Jan. 26.

The rally was in support of National School Choice Week. Similar events took place around the country.

School choice advocates support empowering parents to choose the right school for their children. These options include traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, online learning, private schools and homeschooling, according to the National School Choice Week website.

Supporters held signs and wore yellow scarves to show unity.

State Rep. Polly Lawrence, of Roxborough, and state Rep. Patrick Neville, of Franktown, also spoke at the rally.

Joanie Williams, a parent of three students at Doral Academy in Arvada, held signs and said she came to support her school and its style of education.

Jordan Smith, a fifth-grade student at Golden View Classical Academy in Golden, spoke to the crowd about why she loves her school.

“We came out today to support arts-integration education,” William said.

Erick Valencia, the communications coordinator at Platte River Academy, a charter school in Highlands Ranch, spoke to the crowd in both English and Spanish.

“School choice is something I’m passionate about,” Valencia said.

“It’s great to see so many people here who believe in the same thing.”

Let’s bring an end to unfinished business that can finish off productivity WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

H

ave you ever said to someone, “I think we have some unfinished business here?” I know I have, and I have also found myself on the receiving end of that statement. And it kind of feels uncomfortable most times, doesn’t it?

It feels uncomfortable because there is unfinished business, something left to discuss or to do. And maybe that something left to say or do is difficult, emotional, or is something we would rather just put off to another time. I mean, it’s probably just too hard or hurtful or stressful to do it now isn’t it?

Here are a couple of ways that we can maybe think about to make sure that we finish the business at hand instead of letting things

linger too long, and maybe even make them more difficult to deal with later on.

The first idea is to become really good at setting expectations for ourselves and others. If we are working on a personal project or group initiative, it is so important to the success of the project that we have a very clear expectation of what needs to be done, who needs to do it, and when it needs to be accomplished.

We also should really understand what the finished project will look like, so defining success of the project early on for everyone involved is key to achieving that success and avoiding unfinished business.

Where we typically find ourselves in trouble is when we lose sight of accountability. One of

the primary culprits in unfinished business, and procrastination for that matter, is lack of accountability. Whether we are holding ourselves accountable or holding others accountable, where there is a lack of accountability, we will usually find unfinished business.

The same holds true for conversations, especially when those conversations could be dealing with something of a sensitive nature.

We have unfinished business or incomplete conversations because we didn’t set the proper expectations for ourselves before the discussion or with the other people we are speaking with about what it is we want to SEE NORTON, P27

I made a decision years ago to fly half as often but twice as well.

Teachers deserve raises, too The Douglas County School District Board of Education recently approved a 10 percent retention bonus for cabinet members Bonnie Betz, Gautam Sethi, Steven Cook and Ted Knight.

These four members also received a 20 percent retention bonus last year. Douglas County tax payers have funded over $200,000 in retention bonuses for these four employees in the past two years. While they got bonuses, some teachers did not get a raise because they are at the top of their pay band and were rated “effective.”

I did not receive a raise this year because I was marked “effective” and I am at the top of my pay band. Year by year, my ongoing base compensation falls further behind those of my colleagues in comparable districts with my education and experience. Requiring a “Highly Effective” rating on an evaluation tool that even the board agrees is flawed is the only way that my base salary can increase. Teachers who scored “Partially Effective” and were not at the top of their pay band received raises last year, yet some that were scored higher did not. I am not the only teacher in this position. Quality teachers are leaving the district due to ridiculous acts of disrespect and inequity when it comes to raises.

More money and retention efforts are given to those who never work with our students than the teachers that are with them. New board member Steve Peck said, “people at the top of any organization do deserve higher pay than the people that are entry level... I don’t have any heartburn at all with paying our top administrators top pay.”

As a highly educated, veteran teacher, I am far from entry level. Rather, I am an expert in my field. It is insulting to be thought of and labeled as anything less.

Health care, transportation on front burner for Legislature

T

GUEST COLUMN

Jim Smallwood

he Colorado legislative session this spring will prominently focus on health care and transportation infrastructure.

In our 2017 system for health care, the Obamacare burden continues to hold back Coloradans. Individual insurance rates in Colorado have increased by more than 20 percent, and nearly a third of our counties have only one insurance carrier option left on the state exchange.

I have taken the lead as your state senator for District 4 (Castle Rock, Parker, Castle Pines, Larkspur, Franktown) on repealing the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange. I am sponsoring Senate Bill 17-003 “Repeal of Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Act” with House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, who

resides in Castle Rock.

It is evident our “state-based” exchange is not working and needs to be replaced with a system that treats all Colorado residents fairly and alleviates the burden on the taxpayers in our state.

In 2010, the “Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Act” was created to allow state residents and small businesses to purchase private health insurance, potentially with a subsidy, from a state website: ConnectforHealthCO.com.

Several years later, as more and more insurance companies continue to drop out of this failing exchange, our prices continue to soar and consumers are still stuck with plans that restrict physician selection.

Additionally, Connect For Health was recently accused

Right mix of fats crucial to diet for good health

T

he number one way to combat chronic disease and dementia is by eating a plant-based Mediterranean diet with the liberal use of healthy fat. Yes, eat more veggies and good fat! This may come as a surprise to you, as this goes against the grain of 30 years of low-fat nutrition guidelines in this country. We’ve had it wrong and it is time to make it right to reclaim vibrant health as nature intended.

From an evolutionary standpoint, Homo sapiens emerged about 2 million years ago and until the agricultural revolution, 10,000 years ago, we were all hunter-gatherers.

Our ancient ancestors walked five to 10 miles every day just to be able to eat. Similar to the Mediterranean style of eating, their diet consisted of mostly plants, nuts, seeds, fish and meats. Fat was the most desirable food because of its calorie density and power to satisfy. What our ancestors didn’t know is that fat is essential for better mood, skin, hair, nails and to prevent dementia, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Here’s the skinny on fat.

Healthy fats include unrefined animal and plant fats from wild fatty fish like salmon, trout, mackerel and sardines, grass-fed beef and butter, pasture-raised chicken and eggs, avocados, olives, nuts and coconut oil. These fats tend to include a higher proportion of saturated and monounsaturated fats plus contain higher amounts of the essential omega-3 fats. These fats help prevent disease and make our brains happier and smarter. The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fatty

LIVING AND AGING WELL

fish every week.

Unhealthy fats are trans fats (hydrogenated found in margarine and processed foods) and refined oils like soy, corn, cottonseed, safflower and sunflower and canola oil. These fats are high in omega-6 fats, also an essenCate Reade tial fat because our bodies can’t make them.

The problem occurs because these fats tend to be consumed in large amounts and are highly susceptible to oxidation (damage) during processing which makes them unhealthy fats that hurt the body.

It is the overconsumption of these fats that increase the risk of heart disease and obesity and produce inflammation, the root cause of most diseases. Radically reduce the intake of these fats to boost the absorption of the anti-inflammatory omega-3s.

Fat is essential for the proper function of the body. In addition to providing long-lasting satisfaction and reducing cravings, fat is needed to absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. • Vitamin A keeps eyes healthy and promotes good vision.

• Vitamin D is a powerful modulator of the immune system and promotes proper calcium absorption.

• Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radical damage.

of having misspent almost $10 million in taxpayer funds — much of it for social activities and executive bonuses (source: www.krdo.com/news/ top-stories/connect-for-healthcolorado-asked-to-repay-nearly10-million/248099667).

My bill would not eliminate Obamacare in Colorado, but it would save Colorado taxpayers millions of dollars by transitioning the purchasing of Obamacare plans from ConnectforHealthCO.com to the federal exchange at Healthcare.gov.

States that have repealed their exchange in a similar matter have already seen positive results. In Nevada, the market expanded and two new insurance companies have already start selling insurance. (source: www.reviewjournal. com/life/health/2-more-

providers-agree-participatenevada-s-health-insuranceexchange) Kentucky did the same, and 74,000 Kentuckians signed up for health care coverage within two weeks of shutting down its state’s health exchange. (source: www.paducahsun.com/ news/kentucky/BC-KY--HealthOverhaul-Kentucky--2024202) It is time we learn from other states and give Coloradans a break.

The other big issue we will be reviewing this session is transportation infrastructure.

We Coloradans are tired of watching our roads and bridges crumble as a significant portion of our state government’s general fund remains allocated to other budget items.

Crackdown looming for illegal online pot sales

BY KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Weed on Craigslist? It is widely for sale in Colorado, but legislation moving through the state Legislature aims to crack down on those who sell marijuana illegally using online ads.

A bill approved unanimously by the state Senate on Jan. 23 would make it a misdemeanor to advertise pot if the person does not have a license to sell the drug.

It’s already a crime to sell pot without a license in Colorado, but it’s not illegal

Before the repository opened in 2007, Miller worked with Douglas County artifacts on a volunteer basis.

But the collection was housed in warehouses without climate control, and they were quickly deteriorating, she said.

That means law enforcement has a hard time going after those who skirt the law by posting marijuana for sale by the pound online and hoping police don’t show up to see them make a blackmarket sale.

A decade of dedication Ruth Bandy, a fellow Metropolitan State University graduate, has volunteered one day a week at the repository since 2007. She calls those days the highlight of her week.

“Norma has made it very comfortable,” she said. “It just kind of feels like a second home.”

When asked to reflect on her years working with Miller, Bandy’s face transformed with a look of genuine fondness.

“She’s intelligent and resourceful. And just an overall nice human,” Bandy said. “She knows more about Douglas County than most.”

Miller says she’s proud the repository has gained a reputable name in the state’s archeological community, but also throughout the country.

Two of their artifacts were named to the Top 10 list of most significant artifacts in Colorado, Miller said, and she gets calls from historical organizations spanning from coast to coast.

marijuana, you may not advertise to sell marijuana,” said Democratic Sen. Irene Aguilar of Denver, sponsor of the bill.

There is no official projection of how many people could be charged with a new crime of advertising pot without a license. But Aguilar told the Senate that on a single day in Denver, authorities found more than 690 ads on Craigslist for marijuana, almost all of it likely being sold outside the regulated market.

Under former President Barack Obama, a memo to weed states directed them to try to keep marijuana out of

the black market. But the memo had no force of law and could simply be rewritten by the next attorney general.

Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama is awaiting confirmation as attorney general and opposes legal marijuana.

Trump in his inaugural address said drugs “have stolen too many lives.” The president did not elaborate on which drugs or how he planned to address the nation’s drug problem.

One more formal vote on the Colorado advertising bill is required in the Senate before it heads to the House.

hopes and dreams for the place she’s dedicated the past decade.

She envisions a brick-andmortar museum, in addition to the virtual museum on the county website.

“We have all these wonderful artifacts and they sit here in boxes,” she said.

On the county website, people can view photos of the repository’s artifacts and read background on the items, plus various projects.

But it’s not the same, Miller said. A virtual museum is important but she longs for a place where people can see

and possibly touch the bits of history she’s collected.

There, she could tell the story of what Bandy called a “diverse” local history.

“That’s really what we are trying to do,” Miller said. “To tell the story of the people who lived here before.”

Bandy agreed, saying their work is important for the county and its children. It’s why she’ll continue volunteering after Miller takes her leave, although she admits she’ll miss her friend and faithful curator.

“She,” Bandy said of Miller, “really is the driving force.”

‘In a tank, the world just goes away’ ‘Floating’ offers an escape from the frenzied pace of everyday life

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an age in which people can’t put down their smartphones long enough to go to the bathroom, it’s difficult to picture being removed from the constant stimulation of ringtones, push notifications and 24-hour news.

But picture a place completely removed from the constant noises and lights we take for granted.

Imagine a space filled with complete darkness, devoid of sound, free from gravity.

Steve Skalkowski has four of them.

Skalkowski owns and operates Astral Float Spa in Parker. The shop’s unassuming storefront belies the vast expanses of time and space Skalkowski’s clients traverse within. Inside, four “float tanks,” also called “pods,” “isolation tanks,” or “sensory-deprivation pods,” await Skalkowski’s clients, each in its own room.

Taking your body out of the equation The soundproof, completely dark chambers are filled with skintemperature water, infused with 850 pounds of salt. The salt and temperature of the water allow the body to float evenly, almost without feeling the water on the skin. The darkness and soundproofing eliminate all visual and aural stimuli, letting the mind turn inward.

“This takes your body out of the equation,” Skalkowski says.

“You’re put in a tank, the world just goes away. You kind of become a floating ball of consciousness” Sensory-deprivation tanks were invented in 1954 by physician and psychoanalyst John Lilly, who gained notoriety experimenting with mind-altering substances and techniques in the 1960s. Isolation tanks aren’t new, but floating is experiencing a recent surge in popularity across the United States Isolation tanks have even made inroads in pop culture, referenced in the 1980s film “Altered States” and most recently in the Netflix series “Stranger Things” as a tool that enhances one character’s telekinetic power.

Some say the experience gives them a psychedelic or out of body experience, others use the pods for SEE SENSORY, P15

FLOATING AROUND THE METRO AREA Bobbie Jo Kuhl, owner of Into the Mystic Healing and Arts in Golden, explains why she added a float pod to the store’s services two years ago: “When people are calm and relaxed they treat others that way,” she says. “It’s an exchange that creates more happiness and peace.”

meditation or relaxation. But even people not looking to bend their minds like athletes and doctors have been using the tanks to improve their performance and visualize their goals.

Skalkowski says he hasn’t had any out of body experiences, but he’s seen the effects floating has on his clients.

One customer told him she stopped smoking after a single float. Others tell him of relief from anxiety and depression, an experience he shares.

One client came out bawling.

“He said he loved the experience, but he had something he needed to deal with,” Skalkowski says. “These tanks can dredge up memories.”

A whole body experience Fuyiu Yip, a Lone Tree acupuncturist and regular at Astral Float, says she first heard about floating as a treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but a client’s account of her own experience inspired her to take the salty plunge.

A fast convert, Yip says her monthly, two-hour sessions keep her life in balance.

“My life is so active, I’m a pretty ‘gogo-go’ person, it’s hard for me to pause sometimes,” Yip says. “This is a true pause.”

Yip likens the experience to the “yin-yang” concept in Chinese medicine. The yang symbolizes the “go-go-go” energy needed to achieve goals and be productive while the yin

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kalif Raymond, left, and defensive end Adam Gotsis, right, pose with Astral Float Spa owner Steve Skalkowski after the players’ float sessions in November. Raymond says he began floating this season to “completely relax his entire body” and that focusing his mind in the tank translates to better performance on the field.

COURTESY OF ASTRAL FLOAT SPA’S FACEBOOK PAGE represents the “blissful, nighttime” energy necessary for rejuvenation and maintaining peace of mind.

“People aren’t aware of how much we need that environment to keep balance,” she says. “We need to find ways to counteract the buzzes and the beeps and the cellphones… It’s a mind and whole body experience.”

Another frequent floater who says floating relaxes his “whole body” is Denver Broncos wide receiver Kalif Raymond.

“I come out feeling so fresh, so new, so relaxed,” Raymond says.

The rookie receiver and kick returner says he was researching ways to improve his game, and floating fit the bill. His first float was after the fourth or fifth game of the season, and he quickly added a weekly 90-minute session to his training routine.

Raymond says the relaxation he finds in the tanks is a perfect neutralizer for the physical and mental toll of workouts and drills. He also usually sees green orbs drifting in front of him in the darkness, though he’s more focused on visualizing success on the gridiron.

“The tanks give you what you need” Sean Kearney believes his weekly 90-minute sessions help his professional performance, but in a different type of field.

A daily meditator and producer with an independent media firm in Castle Rock, Kearney began floating 10 years ago to “push [his] brain and thinking into a completely different place.”

After seeing the benefits floating firsthand, Kearney began recommending it to clients, whether they’re seeking a meditative experience, relaxation or improved performance in their work.

They may sometimes take a skeptical tone, Kearney says, but he thinks they, and society as a whole, will come around.

“I think it’s the same thing as exercising regularly. You didn’t see people out jogging or going to the gym, it wasn’t that acceptable when I was a kid,” he says. “I think this is in that same category.”

While float spa entrepreneurs undoubtedly share Kearney’s hope that the practice will become as commonplace as a workout, Skalkowski would like to point out that it isn’t as strenuous.

“You just float, it’s not a skill,” he says. “The tanks give you what you need.”

Big cookie goals Girl Scouts across Colorado to sell iconic cookies Jan. 29-March 12

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One Girl Scout troop in Highlands Ranch hopes to earn enough cookie money so the five girls can do an overnight at the Great Wolf Lodge — a new indoor water park and hotel in Colorado Springs.

A Northglenn Girl Scout troop will continue saving the money for a couple of years to pay for an undetermined future adventure.

In Golden, one Girl Scout also plans on saving the money she earns so she will have extra money to fund her Gold Award project, which she will begin within a couple of years.

A Girl Scout in Centennial, and another in Lakewood, hopes to earn enough for summer camp.

One thing they all have in common, though, is that each Girl Scout is looking forward — and hoping — to sell a lot of cookies.

“I like meeting all the people,” said Katie Hurley, 12, a Northglenn

“I know I’ve made a lot of friends through cookie sales, so that’s a lot of fun.”

For the 100th year, Girl Scouts across Colorado will be out-and-about in neighborhoods from Jan. 29 through March 12 selling the popular cookies.

And to celebrate the centennial of cookie selling, a new cookie will be

available — the S’mores cookie, a graham sandwich cookie complete with creamy chocolate and marshmallowlike filling.

“I think people are really going to like them,” Hurley said, adding she always hoped there would be a S’mores cookie someday.

In fact, Hurley and the six other girls in her troop even joked about

The trip last July was paid for with money the girls earned from cookie sales.

Middle School in Centennial, has been riding horses since she was 4 years old. So the money she earns through cookie sales usually goes toward paying for a summer camp that has ties to horses and ranch work.

“I’m really interested in that type of stuff,” Miller said.

But being in Girl Scouts since she was in the first grade has helped her gain leadership qualities and selfconfidence, she said.

“And there’s the excitement of doing new things,” she added, “but having to go out and find those opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to me.”

Katie DeMink, 13, an eighth grader at Bell Middle School in Golden, went to Los Angeles for the first time in June last year. All four girls in DeMink’s troop got to go because the trip was funded through cookie sales proceeds.

They saw the Hollywood Sign and Walk of Fame, visited the Griffith Observatory and wandered the beach at the Santa Monica Pier.

“It was so much fun exploring and getting to do what each of us wanted to do,” DeMink said. “We got to be pretty independent on that trip.”

Cassidy Christian’s troop from Highlands Ranch also went to California last summer through cookie sales proceeds. But these five girls went north to San Francisco. Along with visiting Pier 39, Chinatown and

COLORADO GIRL SCOUTS HISTORY 1912 — Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scouts troop in Savannah, Georgia.

1917 — The first Girl Scout troop in Colorado was formed, just outside of Colorado Springs.

1925 — Girl Scouts of the USA was the first to publish a s’mores recipe, although the popular treat was not invented by the Girl Scouts.

1927 — The recipe, called somemores by this time, was printed again in an official Girl Scouts publication.

2017 — Girl Scouts of Colorado celebrates its centennial with the new S’mores cookie.

Alcatraz, the girls crossed the Golden Gate Bridge to symbolically recognize their bridging from Cadettes to Senior Girl Scouts — the second to last level in Girl Scouts.

Christian, 15, a ninth grader at Mountain Vista High School, enjoys selling cookies because she likes to interact with different people, she said. She especially likes going doorto-door.

“Whenever it snowed, it held me back from going out to sell, but I was determined to meet my goal so I eventually got there,” Christian said.

“I was really excited and happy that I met my goal after spending so many hard and cold days out selling.”

Her goal this year is to sell 300 packages of cookies.

Last year’s top cookie seller in Colorado was 13-year-old Ciara Leal of Lakewood. The eighth grader sold 7,118 boxes.

“My goal was 5,000, but when I kept

WHEN: Girl Scouts across Colorado will be selling cookies from Jan. 29 through March 12.

COST: This year, cookies cost $4 per box for all varieties except S’mores and ToffeeTastic, which are $5 per box.

Scouts will be out-and-about doing the traditional door-to-door sales.

Girl Scouts will have booths at local businesses across Colorado. Find a nearby booth by visiting the Cookie Locator online: www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org/en/ cookies/find-cookies.html.

Booth sales are her favorite method to sell because she loves to see her customers face-to-face, she said.

“I enjoy seeing the customer’s face every time I sell them cookies because they always have a smile on their face,” Leal said. “It makes me feel good knowing I made someone’s day.”

BALLET MASTERWORKS will be presented Feb. 17 to 26 by the Colorado Ballet at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 17, 18, 24, 25; 2 p.m. on Feb. 18, 19, 26. Tickets: $30 to $155: coloradoballet.org. or call 303-8378888, ext. 2.

Three master ballet works, accompanied by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra, will be staged at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver from Feb. 17-26. (Performances will be preceded by the Firebird Gala, also at the Ellie, at 6 p.m. on Feb. 6 — information and tickets: coloradoballet.org/gala.)

Ballet MasterWorks is presented every two years to highlight the skills of the various dancers, alternating with a collection of contemporary works.

The 2017 production includes “Firebird,” choreographed to Igor Stravinsky’s “Firebird Ballet” by RussianAmerican dancer Yuri Possokhov. He was originally with the Bolshoi and has been with San Francisco Ballet since 1994, where he was principal dancer until 2006 and since then has been choreographer-in-residence. His “Firebird” premiered with the Oregon Ballet Theatre in 2004 in Portland, based on Russian folklore, and tells of a beautiful princess, rescued by a magical bird with dazzling feathers — and by heroic Prince Ivan.

Also on the program: “Serenade,” choreographed by George Balanchine to Tchaikovsky’s “Serenade for Strings in C,” the first ballet he created in America. It includes 28 dancers in blue costumes, in front of a blue background.

“Petit Mort,” created by choreogra-

pher Jiri Kylian to music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is the final work on the program. The choreographer created the ballet for the Salzburg Festival on the second centenary of Mozart’s death and based it on slow movements in Mozart’s two most famous piano concertos. It will be the first time Colorado Ballet has presented a Kylian ballet.

Kylian started training with the Prague National Conservatory at age 9, after seeing a performance that inspired him, then got a scholarship to the School of the Royal Ballet in London. He worked with Stuttgart Ballet and directed the Nederlands Dance Theatre before starting a chamber company for dancers over 40, according to online information.

Artistic director Gil Boggs said Ballet MasterWorks is the dancers’ favorite production of the year artistically.

In another Colorado Ballet matter, a note from the company’s office said that the March 31 through April 2 performance of “The Little Mermaid” at Gates Concert Hall is completely sold out. It features original music by composer Michael Moricz and choreography by Tony Award winner Lynne Taylor Corbett, who is a Littleton High School graduate.

LOCKETT FROM PAGE 4

Lockett allegedly followed his wife from Lincoln County to the Castle Rock home where she was staying with her five children, broke into the home and stabbed her to death. A few weeks earlier, a Lincoln County judge had ordered

arrest affidavit. Normandin, who was sitting in his vehicle, told investigators he saw Donahue “standing at about the middle of the wrecked vehicle” when a truck “cross[ed] the solid white fog line” and hit Donahue. Normandin said he immediately knew Donahue was dead.

Gamez-Ruiz pulled over and remained on scene until emergency personnel arrived, according to the sheriff ’s office. Authorities reviewed video from Gamez-Ruiz’s truck and from Donahue’s patrol car and determined he did not change lanes to

Lockett to stay away from his family.

Lockett’s defense maintained that he was suicidal at the time of his wife’s death, and went to the home intending to kill himself, not her.

Stitely described her mother as pure of heart and a beacon of hope in their lives.

“She had such a pure heart that she looked at this monster in the face and still tried to see the good in

him,” she said.

Schoneboom described Kirsten as a brilliant, emotional person who loved animals and people. And despite years of abuse, Schoneboom said, “She stayed fiercely independent.”

“Now I don’t have a sister, through the actions of Richard Allan Lockett,” she said.

“She chose to love the wrong person.”

‘We’re a family. We take care of each other and we should be here.’

Scott Hernandez, Colorado State Patrol Chief avoid the stopped patrol car. Neither alcohol nor drugs is suspected as a factor in the crash, according to sheriff ’s office personnel.

A $2,500 bond for the new charge was waived as Gamez-Ruiz had been free on a $500 bond set after initial charges. He reported to the jail to be fingerprinted and was subsequently

released. Gamez-Ruiz will next appear for a pre-trial conference on March 3.

After the hearing, Hernandez stressed the importance of drivers’ yielding to emergency and other vehicles on the side of the road.

“It’s just common courtesy,” he said.

Something needs to be done about lopsided scores

V

Rock Canyon guard Sam Masten looks for space to penetrate as Mountain Vista’s Issac Essien chases. Rock Canyon overcame a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit and pulled out a 70-62 victory before an overflow crowd in the Mountain Vista gym. Masten had 23 points in the game and Essien finished with 18 for the Golden Eagles.

Jaguars rally to down Golden Eagles Rock Canyon uses 19-0 run to spark comeback win

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rock Canyon, staggered by a 17-point deficit early in the second half, rallied in the fourth quarter to pull out a 70-62 Continental League win over host Mountain Vista before an overflow crowd on Jan. 28.

“We started playing with more intensity,” Rock Canyon junior guard Tyson Gilbert said. “We started pushing the pace. We knew we had a run in us, so we kept pushing. “ Rock Canyon, sixth in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, improved its record to 4-0 in the league and 15-2

overall. Mountain Vista slipped to 3-2 in the Continental League and 12-6 overall.

Key moments Rock Canyon trailed 53-40 heading into the fourth quarter but went on a 19-0 run to grab a 59-53 lead with 4:22 remaining in the game. The Jaguars outscored the Golden Eagles 11-9 the remainder of the contest to complete the comeback.

“We knew at any given point we could make a run and it started on the defensive end,” Jaguars guard Sam Masten said. “We were kind of lazy on defense in the first two quarters and in the fourth quarter we really turned it up. Coach believed in us and we really believe in each other so it was a great win.”

Key players/statistics Gilbert, a 6-foot-1 transfer from Highlands Ranch, scored a game-high 24 points. Masten, a 6-3 junior who is the third leading Class 5A scorer in the state with a 23.4 average, had 23 points. Gilbert scored nine points and Masten seven during the 19-0 Rock Canyon run.

Mountain Vista’s 6-8 senior Jake Belknapp and senior guard Issac Essien sparked the Golden Eagles to its big lead. Belknapp finished with 21 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks and a steal. Essien scored 18 points and had four assists.

The Golden Eagles committed 16 turnovers and five came during Rock Canyon’s fourth quarter scoring spree.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Derek Nead, hockey, senior, Mountain Vista: He scored three goals in leading the Golden Eagles to a 5-2 win over Heritage in the annual Eagle Cup game on Jan. 27.

Will Willis, basketball, senior, Lutheran: Willis tallied 28 points, which included six 3-pointers, as the Lions defeated Peak-to-Peak 79-44 on Jan. 27.

Brendan Temple, basketball, sophomore, Douglas County: The Huskies won their second straight non-league game as Temple scored 20 points in a 71-47 victory over Westminster on Jan. 28.

Jalen Sanders, basketball, senior, Valor Christian: Sanders, the leading 4A Jefferson League scorer and the second leading 4A scorer in the state with a 23.6

point per game average, scored 30 points in a 63-48 victory over Green Mountain on Jan. 27.

Lydia Van Kooten, swimming, junior, Littleton: Van Kooten showed her endurance during the Lions’ meet against D’Evelyn and Green Mountain on Jan. 26.

She won the 200 IM in 2:21.14 and 500 freestyle in 5:34.49.

ista PEAK’s girls basketball team hopefully got the attention of the Colorado High School Activities Association’s basketball committee.

The Aurora school whipped Aurora OVERTIME Central 90-4 on Jan. 20, which brought further attention to the possibility of a mercy rule in high school basketball.

The 86-point win didn’t do either team any good, especially for a winless Aurora Jim Benton Central squad that has been beaten by an average of 51.3 points a game this season.

Numerous coaches and administrators do not want a mercy rule instituted, but there are people lined up to support the introduction of one. Basketball is the only team sport that doesn’t have one.

I subscribe to arguments on both sides, so maybe some kind of comprise can be reached. For instance, ask coaches to mutually agree to use the mercy rule when a 40-point differential is reached in the final quarter. Even better, if just one of the coaches in a lopsided game agrees to implement the mercy rule, let the running clock begin.

In October, CHSAA’s board of directors passed off to the basketball committee a proposal to adopt a mercy rule for the current season.

Schools and leagues wanted to have an input in the decision either via the basketball committee or the legislative council, which has to approve basketball committee reports.

So the basketball committee is scheduled to meet Feb. 2 and the mercy rule is on the agenda.

The proposed mercy rule would have produced a running clock with a 40-point lead in the fourth quarter.

This season, there have been many lopsided scores around the state, with several involving area teams. Some of the area blowout boys scores included Jefferson’s 65-point loss and a 61-point Lutheran win. Cherry Creek’s girls rolled to a 63-point conquest and Arapahoe recorded a 62-point victory.

Other uneven boys scores from the area include ThunderRidge’s 105-46 romp over Castle View, Kennedy’s 82-27 win over Arvada and Standley Lake’s 99-43 win over Thornton.

Ralston Valley downed Arvada West 84-23 in girls action and Highlands Ranch rolled to an 86-27 victory over Heritage.

Local curling team is ready to throw stones Foursome qualifies for nationals with strong showing in Minnesota

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Josh Chetwynd grew up playing baseball but he’s now a member of Colorado’s best curling team.

“I played Division I college baseball at Northwestern University in the Big 10,” said Chetwynd. “After that I played a year of independent minor league baseball in the Frontier League. I happened to be born in England even though I grew up in the U.S. I played for Great Britain’s national baseball team for 10 years.

“I played baseball for a very long time. I had some knee issues. I was a catcher so I was looking for sort of a lifetime sport that I could play into my older age. Right around the time I started that inquiry the Denver Curling Center opened up.”

Chetwynd, a 45-year-old writer and author who lives in Denver, and three of his cohorts from the Denver Curling Club located at 14100 W. Seventh Ave. in Golden will be the first team in 20 years to represent Colorado at the USA Men’s National Curling Championships Feb. 11-18 in Everett, Washington, at the Xfinity Arena. The

From left to right are Josh Chetwynd, Evan Jaffe, Aaron Johnston and Darryl Sobering of the Denver Curling Club. They will be the first team in 20 years to represent Colorado at the USA Men’s National Curling Championships Feb. 11-18 in Everett, Washington.

SEAN STEVINSON team includes Darryl Sobering is the skip of Team Sobering which qualified for the nationals during the U.S. Men’s Challenge Round Jan. 5-8 in Blaine, Minnesota, by winning five straight games after losing the first two in the triple elimination event.

Other team members include the lead Chetwynd, the second Evan Jaffe and third Aaron Johnston.

Jaffe, a 30-year-old Sedalia resident and software designer, went to college in Hastings, Nebraska, but couldn’t pursue his interest in curling.

“There wasn’t an opportunity,” he

said. “I moved back to Denver after college and had an interest in it and felt like doing it one day. Curling appealed to me because it’s a huge team sport and you heavily rely on other people. And also it is the strategy of

They said it “We just kept our composure and said we have to be us,” Rock Canyon coach Kent Grams said.

“Mountain Vista made shots, it was Wish Week and they were excited and what a crowd. It’s such an unbelievable place to play and the atmosphere can’t get better. We started making some turnovers and getting defensive stops and our close-outs were better. They were terrible in the first half. “

Shortage of officials On Saturday, Jan. 28, all boys and girls basketball teams played rescheduled games in the Continental League.

That departed from the usual Tuesday and Friday games. League teams have and will play Wednesday games.

CHSAA asked schools to alter schedules in order to spread games out between Monday and Saturday in order to help ease the burden of finding officials to call games.

Centennial League, Jef-

Vista coach Bob Wood said the Golden Eagles played as they have all season in the first three quarters, “We played really good for three quarters,” he said. “We obviously have to play four quarters. They got the momentum in the fourth quarter, turned us over and we didn’t take care of the ball. We stopped doing what got us the lead, taking the ball inside and scoring.”

Junior guard Garrett Sweeney of Mountain Vista drives past Rock Canyon’s Gilbert Tyson during the Jan. 28 Continental League game played before an overflow crowd at Mountain Vista. JIM BENTON

Going forward Rock Canyon hosts Chaparral on Feb. 3 while Mountain Vista takes the weekend off before entertaining Regis Jesuit on Feb. 7.

ferson County and Adams 5 schools have also spread out games during the week.

Help wanted Help-wanted signs for coaches are showing up at schools around the state.

Brian Lamb has stepped down as Rock Canyon’s football coach. He wants to take time off from football coaching although he is currently having fun as the Jaguars’ sophomore boys basketball coach.

In four seasons as Rock Canyon’s head football coach, the Jaguars compiled a 15-25-0 record with Lamb at the helm.

Castle View is looking for a

girls softball coach to replace Cory Williams, who compiled a 16-24-1 record in two seasons.

Williams has moved across town to be an assistant Douglas County softball coach.

Streak ends Ponderosa’s wrestling team had not lost a league dual match since 1994, but the streak came to an end Jan. 26 when Castle View forfeited two matches but had six pins to post a 42-33 victory over the Mustangs.

That ended an estimated streak of 159 consecutive league dual meet victories for the Mustangs, who have won 22 straight Continental

League titles. Castle View, however, could claim this season’s league title with a win in one of its final two league dual meets against Legend and Highlands Ranch.

“Everybody has been telling me that it was a big win,” Castle View coach Ike Anderson said. “When I forfeited two matches and had a freshman wrestling in another, I knew our light weights were pretty strong and said we have to get as many points as we can in those matches.”

Pair honored CHSAA Associate Commissioner Tom Robinson and longtime basketball coach

Dick Katte, now a liaison between CHSAA and the coaches association, will be honored by the National Federation of State High School Associations.

The awards will be presented July 1 at the NFHS summer meetings in Providence, Rhode Island.

And when this happens sometimes imagination takes over and we insert things into what we believe the other person said or we believe that the other party completely heard what we were trying to say. Or, we imagine that things are much better or worse than they really are. More unfinished business.

So what if in the beginning of every conversation we made sure that we took just a few minutes to outline what it is we want to talk about?

Imagine the Star on the Castle Rock, first erected in 1936 to symbolize “hope” during desperate times, intended to attract strangers on their journeys, renewing its original meaning. Imagine Castle Rock declaring itself a “sanctuary town” for people fleeing their homelands for a more peaceful existence free of religious persecution.

So if you set the proper expectation, maybe ask permission to talk about the topic before you just jump into it, the other person or group will probably feel relieved that the subject will be included.

This is all boiling with snobbery and arrogance, which I completely understand.

CURLING FROM PAGE 25

the game. The way every game sets up is completely different.”

Johnston, 24, lives in Greenwood Village and is a civil engineer. He was introduced to curling during a gym class field trip when he was a fifthgrader in Wisconsin.

“I picked it up at a young age and it was just something I stuck with because I was pretty decent,” said Johnston. “Through high school

I was fortunate enough to win two state championships in curling and continued on through college and do it here through college. I went to Marquette University.

“You can curl here in Denver, which is kind of unique because the nearest curling facility is over 700 miles away in Bismarck, North Dakota.

So we’re kind of the Galapagos Islands of curling out here.”

Curling is predominately a Midwestern sport, but Team Sobering is the eighth-ranked team in the nation.

“We couldn’t be prouder of Darryl and his team,” said

Denver Curling president Phil Moir. “They’ve been traveling all season, competing in tournaments across the United States, with the hopes of earning this spot.

But at the same time, they play every week in the club and are right in the middle of our community.”

Sobering, a 40-year-old real estate broker who is a Broomfield resident, claims his team will probably be overlooked at the nationals.

“We have been the underdog all year in most of the binspiels we have play and fared very well,” said Sobering. “So I am hoping for more

of the same. I feel it is about mindset and who is playing well that week. So if we keep this mindset we have now we will do great.”

Chetwynd claims teamwork can play dividends, “We were unheralded, we weren’t expected to earn one of the four spots in nationals,” he said. “We played as a team together, we mastered our skills, it didn’t matter who we were playing because we performed up to our abilities. What I love about curling is that it is similar to baseball and similar to all sports. It is a real team game. What is unique about

curling that is different from baseball, football and basketball, there is more emphasis on your team’s own performance.

“You are impacted by the performance of the other team in the way they throw the rocks and where they place them but they are not impacting my throw. That goes to a sport more like golf where you are really playing more against yourself. What is different about this than golf is your team is playing against itself, not just you individually as the thrower but your four guys are all playing against themselves.”

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer Denver - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain?

Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake.

Sounds crazy?

Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life.

When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again.

Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state?

Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in

theory exercising should help knee arthritis.

But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee.

It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs.

Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes.

Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out.

You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either.

What’s the answer?

In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary.

With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated.

The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.

But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint.

This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many ex-

help.

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected.

Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

perts believe it helps lubricate the joint.

Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.

And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain specific exercises can be a tremendous

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain.

This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results.

So what is the HUGE mistake?

If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse.

And that’s the last thing you want to do.

What are the two “smart moves?”

If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic.

If you are thinking about giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technol-

ogy such as uoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections.

Research shows that without uoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work.

If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible.

So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse.

And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced uoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 303-952-4469.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain sufferers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go.

If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now.

Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief.

Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program.

The Secret To Success?

The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy.

Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating.

This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment.

And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed.

What Is This Treatment?

This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA).

Those are big medical terms that basically means this...

When you have knee arthritis the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in

your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief

Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”

Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time.

But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.
