State lawmakers consider ending death penalty Last person put to death by state was in 1997

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

guishes him from a broad field of Democratic presidential aspirants who are backing ambitious liberal plans on health care, taxes and the climate.

Hickenlooper has hedged on supporting Democratic rallying cries like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal to combat climate change. He once worked as a geologist for a petroleum company and was roundly criticized for telling a congressional panel he drank fracking fluid while arguing for the safety of the energy extraction technique.

Democrats who control Colorado’s Legislature are rushing to act on a bill to repeal the state’s little-used death penalty, holding a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on March 6, just two days after the proposal was introduced. Senate Bill 19-182 passed the committee by a 3-2 vote.

One of the bill’s sponsors calls the death penalty “an arbitrary punishment.”

“The truth is that the death penalty is a cruel and unusual form of punishment that is disproportionately used against people of color,” state Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver, said in a news release following the vote.

Lawmakers have tried before to repeal Colorado’s death penalty, which has been applied just twice since 1967. Most recently, Gary Lee Davis died by lethal injection in 1997 for the 1986 kidnapping, rape and murder of a neighbor, Virginia May. First-term Democratic Gov. Jared Polis supports the 2019 bill. John Hickenlooper, Polis’ predecessor and a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, indefinitely delayed the execution of one of three people on Colorado’s death row in 2013.

Hickenlooper said he had doubts about the fairness of the death penalty and problems in obtaining the drugs required for lethal injection.

Sen. Angela Williams, D-Denver, another bill sponsor, emphasized the fact that all three facing death in Colorado are African Americans as ample evidence of historic racial inequities in the criminal justice system.

Hickenlooper steps into presidential race Former governor runs on achievements as chief executive of divided state

BY NICHOLAS RICCARDI ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said he’s running for president, casting himself as a can-do uniter who’s accustomed to overcoming adversity and accomplishing liberal goals in a politically divided state.

“I’m running for president because we need dreamers in

Washington, but we also need to get things done,” Hickenlooper, 67, said in a video announcing his campaign on March 4. “I’ve proven again and again I can bring people together to produce the progressive change Washington has failed to deliver.”

He becomes the second governor to enter the sprawling field, after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced the week before, and is trying to cast himself as a pragmatist who can also take on President Donald Trump. Though as governor Hickenlooper prided himself for staying above partisan fights, he has argued his record as a former governor and Denver mayor distin-

Returning sacred treasures Sheila Goff retires after a decade of working with Native Americans

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the last 11 years, Sheila Goff has spent her time combing through History Colorado’s Native American collection. As the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) liaison for the museum, it was her job to find, and eventually return, human remains and sacred items to their tribes. In addition to her NAGPRA role, Goff was also the curator of archeology and ethnography at History Colorado.

After retiring from the museum in January, Goff reflected on a career on rebuilding relationships with Native American tribes in Colorado.

Often, when museums like History Colorado began collecting artifacts from the tribes, they were taken by force or without permission, Goff said. In 1990, that all changed when NAGPRA was put into place. In addition to returning sacred items, the law established rules on the discovery of Native American funerary items and human remains so the artifacts cannot be taken without permission.

Most of the items that Goff has helped return over the years were

taken in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

In her 11 years at History Colorado, Goff has returned more than 200 human remains, 300 funerary items and 200 unassociated items related to Native American burials, but not directly buried with someone. The process of returning artifacts to the tribes is known as repatriation.

“Each time we would have a repatriation and be able to return those

repatriated items, all those times were very meaningful,” she said. “It’s just very rewarding work to know that I helped facilitate the return of folks’ ancestors.”

Goff has worked with 48 tribes, including the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho.

But the process of getting artifacts and remains back to their rightful owners can be lengthy, Goff said.

Staffs at museums need to go through a collection and identify if any of the items fall under the NAGPRA law.

Some artifacts, such as human remains, are more obvious. But others may be linked to sacred burial rights without museum staff realizing it. This is where the tribes come in. First, museum staff identify the tribe that the artifact comes from, Goff said. She then invites the tribe to come in and consult with the museum to see if items in the collection are related to any sacred rituals.

“The ability to identify those is done in consultation,” Goff said.

“The real experts for those is the tribal representatives.”

After those artifacts have been identified, there’s a pile of paperwork on the federal level, as well as with the museum and tribes. Then the items can go home.

Working at the museum was Goff ’s second career. She became interested in archeology and got her second master’s degree in museum and field studies from the University of Colorado in Boulder in 2002. She began working on returning artifacts to Native American tribes while still in school.

In 2007, Goff joined History Colorado. The museum celebrated her career and retirement during the opening party of the Written on the SEE TREASURES, P3

Eliminate High-Interest Debt or Do Home Improvements with a Cash Out Refinance SPONSORED CONTENT - KATHY MUNI / SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA Our debt had been growing over the years as we financed three weddings and put multiple children through college. Being able to refinance our home and pay off the high-interest credit cards was a blessing.

It not only simplified our financial lives, it saved us money! ~ KC Many homeowners are in a similar situation. When they become aware of the high interest rates they are paying on personal debt such as car loans, credit cards, and student loans the interest rates can be much greater than doing a refiKathy Muni nance of their home mortgage. The average interest rate for credit card debt at the end of 2018 was 16.71 percent while the average 30-year mortgage rate was 4.3 percent.

The average American household carries about $16,000 in credit card debt, approaching $30,000 in car loans, and many 10’s of thousands of dollars in student loans. The savings in interest can be significant. The difference between the credit card debt (16.71 percent) and the average mortgage rate in the 4 percent is over 12 percent in savings.

Doing a cash-out refi can help solve this problem of overwhelming debt. A refinance allows you to tap into the equity tied up in your home putting it to work for you.

When you refinance and access some of your money, you may use it for any purpose.

Many pay off debt, which means optimizing their finances. Others want to do upgrades to their home, take a vacation, buy an investment property or pay for a wedding. The choice is yours!

Some of our clients save $100s and even $1,000s per month restructuring their debt by refinancing.

If you are concerned that your mortgage will start over at 30-years, we have programs that offer flex terms, so you can keep your current term. We can do just about any term between 10-30 years. If you want 23, 18 or 12 years, we can do it.

If you currently have mortgage insurance, you may be able to eliminate that portion of your payment if your value has increased enough in the past few years.

Refinancing is an easy process and can have the added benefit of boosting your credit score when all is said and done. If your cards are maxed out or are higher than the recommended 30 percent usage, paying them off with proceeds from a refinance can help your credit score.

Also, if you have an FHA loan, refinancing has never been faster or easier with an FHA Streamline. You can lower your monthly mortgage payments - in some instances, even if you owe more than your home is worth. No appraisal is required, rates are low, and there is no income documentation required (W-2s and pay stubs). The benefit to you must be at least a 5 percent drop in your mortgage payment, and there are 15,

20, 25, and 30-year terms available, with Primary Residence and Non-owner Occupied properties allowed.

An FHA Streamline can lower your monthly mortgage payment as well as your interest rate. If you have not refinanced since HUD lowered the MIP in 2015, now is the time! You may also be able to refinance out of an FHA loan, if you qualify for a Conventional loan eliminating the mortgage insurance, assuming your home value has increased enough.

The VA has a streamline process to lower your rate. You can also take advantage of this rising real estate market using a VA cash out refinance with a loan up to 100% of the

current value.

Interest rates are still at historical lows, but may be set to rise soon.

Silver Leaf Mortgage is a broker, which means that we can seek out the very best options for you offered by a variety of lenders whether you are self-employed, or W2. Our loan officers have years of experience and will work closely with you to be sure that the refinance loan you select will best meet your needs.

Land exhibit in early January. Her last day at the museum was Jan. 15.

Written on the Land is an exhibit celebrating the three Ute tribes and their roots as some of Colorado’s earliest citizens. It was one of Goff ’s final projects. While curating the exhibit, History Colorado worked with 30 representatives from the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.

Ernest House Jr., senior policy director of Keystone Policy Center and former executive director of the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs, was one of the representatives working with the museum. He is grateful for Goff ’s part in telling the story of Native American tribes, he said.

“Sheila helped our voices and

perspectives get heard. And, in doing so, she has moved us closer to ensuring that Native American History is our shared history,” said House in a release from the museum. “We are eternally grateful for her leadership and for History Colorado’s neverending collaboration and storytelling with our tribes. There will always be so much more to learn and understand about our traditions and our future.”

Learning about the cultures of the tribes has also influenced her own life.

Goff said she loved learning about how connected tribes are to the land.

Family knowledge is also key. Now that she’s retired, Goff hopes to do some investigating into her own family past.

Fostering relationships with Colorado tribes has been important to Goff. Engaging with the Utes has lead to more meaningful collaboration, she said.

“The relationships that were built to do this kind of work,” she said, “spills over in a positive manner.”

Battling at backgammon — that’s just how we roll

I

t is one man against one woman, without handicap or charity or concession.

There is strategy and there is luck. There is grit and there is determination.

Words are said in the heat of competition that alarm the dachshund.

It is backgammon.

It is one of the oldest board games in the world, going back 5,000 years.

It is face-to-face fun with a friend, a stranger, or a loved one. Or even a computer. Like chess, backgammon has been researched by computer scientists. You can play backgammon against a robot.

Our set-up is a neat leather case that opens to reveal 24 triangles (points).

Each player has 15 pieces (checkers) that resemble after-dinner candies, in two colors. Ours are chocolate and caramel.

The pieces are moved according to the roll of two dice.

We got the board out in October, and have played 133 games since.

I am better at bocce than she is.

Trounces are not unusual. Winning is fun, but it’s expected.

When I got out the backgammon case, I thought there would be more of the same.

I soon found out otherwise. Having a very worthy opponent makes a win even more satisfying.

Having a very worthy opponent whom I love to be around makes it even better.

If this kindles or rekindles an interest, and you haven’t an opponent, you can find one online at cardgames.io.

His name is Bill, and he plays by the book. He isn’t very pretty, and I can’t distract him.

I prefer a flesh and blood opponent, and hearing her pathetic bleats of exasperation when I roll boxcars.

Understanding the simple truth of success

hy do we struggle with achieving success when there really is no secret to success? Is it because we have overcomplicated the thought or definition of success? Or is it because we really just don’t know what success truly means to us?

So here is the simple and uncomplicated truth of success: it’s you.

Plain and simple, you are the secret to your own success.

Certainly there are others who have helped us along the way. We may have read some awesome books with incredible insights that have illuminated the path and provided direction. Many of us have attended motivational or instructional seminars and training sessions that have inspired us and given us more to think about when it comes to success. And many of us have even hired our own personal coach or business adviser to help us achieve the successes that we seek.

I do not want to lose and neither does she. While it is fun to play, it is much more fun to win.

I have had the game since the late 1970s, and played a lot of backgammon through the 1980s. But the case has been in the basement for decades, until mid-October when I asked, “Do you know how to play?”

She said, “Yes.” However, she had a few phony Ohio rules that had to go, but only after I obtained notarized exclusions from the International Association.

Jennifer is a stickler.

We both have had winning streaks, and I always attribute mine to karma, and specifically to a life of kindness and generosity.

I attribute hers to luck. Nothing more.

When the weather is better, we play bocce on a high school lawn, with Harry staked nearby and

The lead has gone back and forth.

Jennifer is currently up by three, 68-65.

Many of the games have come down to the final roll.

I play more recklessly than she does. I like to put QUIET myself in harm’s DESPERATION way, just to see if I can recover. Why not?

If doubles are rolled, very good things happen.

(There are exceptions.) What is the probability of rolling doubles?

I looked it up: Craig Marshall “There are six ways we can roll doubles, Smith or a probability of 6/36, or 1/6 on any roll of fair dice.

So you have a 16.7% probability of rolling doubles with two fair, sixsided dice” (stayorswitch.com).

We have our backgammon chairs and drinks and music.

instruction and encouragement are contributing factors to our success.

However, at the end of the day the person who must execute against the strategy and the plan is you.

There have been people in your life that have proven themselves to be a difference maker WINNING in helping you become who you WORDS are today. The key word in there is “helping,” but it’s you who is the real difference maker when it comes to the achievement of success and the realization of your goals and dreams.

be powerfully liberating and just the push you needed. For others, Dr. Denis Waitley’s philosophy of, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me,” can quickly go from feeling motivation to rationalizing excuses. And if that excuse alarm starts to sound, just remember Dr. Waitley’s quote, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me,” and stop those excuses as quickly as possible.

You know what the excuses sound like don’t you? “I am too busy.” “I don’t have time for this.” “This is too hard.” “I am only doing this for someone else.” “I just have to wait until I finish this other project.” “I will start after the next holiday.”

“I don’t have the skills.” “I can’t do this by myself.” And so many others.

The list of excuses is long, but the belief in yourself could be endless.

Amur tiger arrives at Denver Zoo STAFF REPORT

The newest exhibit at the Denver Zoo is now home to one of the newest residents.

Yuri, an 8-year-old, 435-pound Amur tiger, arrived in late January from Bronx Zoo, according to a news release.

His arrival was at the recommendation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan. Yuri’s new home will be in the zoo’s The EDGE exhibit.

Yuri has spent several weeks getting comfortable in his new home and will be introduced to 8-year-old Nikita once he is adjusted to his new habitat and caretakers.

Because Yuri hasn’t sired any cubs yet, his genetics are particularly valu-

It was after Hickenlooper was laid off from his geologist position during the energy bust of the 1980s that he inadvertently started on his road to politics.

He opened a brewpub in a then-desolate stretch of downtown Denver that unexpectedly took off. That enabled Hickenlooper to become wealthy by building a mini-empire of restaurants and bars. It also led to him making a quixotic run for Denver mayor in 1993. Campaign ads featured Hickenlooper feeding quarters into parking meters to protest the city’s charging for Sunday parking downtown. He won handily.

As mayor, Hickenlooper helped persuade dozens of suburban cities, sometimes led by Republicans, to back a tax hike to fund a light-rail network. He was filmed diving out of an airplane to advocate for a statewide ballot measure to suspend an anti-tax measure passed in the 1990s and allow the state budget to grow. When he ran for governor in 2010, he featured an ad of himself fully dressed, walking into a shower to scrub off negative attacks.

It’s all part of Hickenlooper’s quirky political image — he vows not to run attack ads and has frequently made fun of his tendency to misspeak and wander off political message.

Hickenlooper was supported by some Republicans as governor. His first term was marked by a series of disasters and tragedies, some of which he alluded to in his launch video — record wildfires and floods, the assassination of his own

She also pointed to the difficulty of

unanimous jury verdict is required — and the cost. . “Our criminal justice system demonstrates racial bias at every step of the process, from the point of arrest all the way through to the point of executions for heinous crimes,’’ Williams said at a Capitol news conference March 5.

She was referring to Nathan Dun-

able to zoos’ collective efforts to save the species and maintain a healthy, genetically-diverse population of Amur tigers. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists Amur tigers as endangered, primarily because of poaching of tigers as well as their wild prey species.

Yuri was born at the Erie Zoo in 2010, but has spent seven of his eight years at the Bronx Zoo. Eagle-eyed viewers may recognize him from Animal Planet’s “The Zoo,” which takes viewers behind the scenes at the Bronx Zoo. He is making more frequent appearances in one of the two main yards in The EDGE, which brings guests closer than ever to our two tigers. Visitors can identify him by the heart-shaped

markings above his eyes and his size — he’s close to double Nikita’s weight.

prison chief by a member of a white supremacist prison gang and the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, which killed 12. After that attack and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre in Connecticut months later, Hickenlooper called for gun control legislation and signed bills requiring universal background checks and limiting magazine capacity to 15 rounds.

“We’re a purple state that got universal background checks passed,” he told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on March 4, stressing how he can “bring people together on the other side and actually get stuff done.”

Hickenlooper backed civil unions for gay couples and signed a law providing them in Colorado in 2013, before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. He announced in 2013 that he opposed the death penalty and refused to execute a quadruple-murderer who was on death row. And, as he prepared to leave office and was openly mulling a presidential bid, he ordered the state to adopt California’s low-emission vehicle standards to fight climate change.

The last move was widely seen as shoring up an area that has long created tension for Hickenlooper — his relationship with the energy industry.

Groups opposed to the expansion of energy exploration into Denver’s suburbs often complained that Hickenlooper was too close to the oil and gas business, which remains a powerful force in Colorado politics.

As governor, Hickenlooper opposed ballot measures to limit drilling in populated areas. Hickenlooper’s successor, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, has been more critical of the industry. Recently,

Polis announced he’d pursue a wide range of new policies that would limit energy exploration.

Another potential vulnerability for Hickenlooper is money. As a former governor, he can’t recycle donations from prior campaigns into a presidential account, as can the many U.S. senators in the field. Hickenlooper’s political committee raised $1 million during the first two months of the year, in contrast to senators such as Kamala Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who raised more than that amount in the 24 hours after they announced their campaigns.

Still, Hillary Clinton vetted Hickenlooper as a possible running mate in 2016, and Democrats have spoken about his potential national appeal for years. In his launch video, Hickenlooper says, following images of Trump: “As a skinny kid with Coke bottle glasses and a funny last name, I’ve stood up to my fair share of bullies.”

Hickenlooper is expected to focus heavily on Iowa, where many Coloradans come from and a state where his low-key, genial approach could be potent. In previous trips he’s emphasized his record and how he can bring warring parties together. During a January swing he stopped by a Des Moines brewpub where a customer asked him how he’d win the primary of “who hates Trump the most?”

Hickenlooper responded by rattling off his governing accomplishments.

“Everyone yells at Trump, he will win,” Hickenlooper said. “You have to laugh at him and joke along and say: `Hey, this is what I did.’”

Marshall-Fields was the son of Rhonda Fields, a former House representative and now a Democratic senator who has vocally supported the death penalty.

“I’m concerned about the process being hurried and rushed,’’ Fields told reporters Tuesday. “This seems a little choreographed to me.’’

First-term Democratic Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son, Alex, was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, also has supported the death penalty.

Sullivan and other survivors were astonished when a jury refused to hand the death penalty to James Holmes, who killed 12 people and wounded 70. Holmes was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The bill would apply to offenses charged on or after July 1.

The threat of the death penalty for felony murder often leads to agreements with prosecutors to enter guilty pleas in exchange for life prison terms.

Yuri, an 8-year-old Amur tiger, recently arrived at The Denver Zoo. Once he is adjusted, he will be introduced to Nikita in The EDGE exhibit at the zoo.

Parade, festival, food, fun on agenda for holiday

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hile the best-known tradition of St. Patrick’s Day is to wear green, that wasn’t always the case. Before green became the color associated with the holiday, blue was worn to celebrate Saint Patrick, a Christian missionary, saint and bishop of Ireland.

St. Patrick’s Day is recognized as the traditional religious feast of St. Patrick on March 17 of each year.

Stories tell of St. Patrick using the shamrock, a three-leafed plant with one stalk, to explain the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) to a nonbeliever. The shamrock became an iconic image of Ireland when the country named it its national flower and emblem.

Ireland closes its banks, stores and businesses to observe St. Patrick each year, recognizing St. Patrick’s Day as a religious holiday. In the United States, beer is turned green, corned beef and cabbage is pushed out by restaurants and parades are held all throughout the country.

Here is how you can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day across the Denver metro area.

Denver St. Patrick’s Day Parade Where: According to the Denver St. Patrick’s Day Parade website, the best place to catch the parade entries full performance is south of 20th Avenue on Blake Street.

“It’s great for the whole family, and there’s fun giveaways and treats for kids. There’s just so much to see and do,” said Price.

Woodward Copper celebrating 10 years of overnight camps in Copper Mountain STAFF REPORT COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

It’s a summer camp with snow, professionals, fun and a lot of memories as Woodward Copper prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary this summer.

The Cooper Mountain camp, one of the only ones in the state to have actual snow, provides campers with top-notch instruction and fun for all skill levels.

“Fortunately, our altitude allows us to offer this unique summer camp for kids,” said Taylor Prather, the public relations manager for Copper Mountain Resorts. “This camp is a great opporutnity for those kids that live and breathe snowboarding and skiing. And, we go well beyond the snow sports. We offer the great summer programs that includes skate boarding, cheerleading and a lot of programs that really cover all interest areas.”

With more than 1,000 campers a year, Prather said the 2019 camp is shaping up to be one of the best on record. Running between June and August for children from age 7 and up, there are plenty of professionals on tap to join the camp’s top-notch coaches. Some of those celebrities include: • Professinal snowboard Taylor Bingaman on June 2.

• Olympian Chris Corning will be

presents

at the resort on June 9 through June 15. Corning has a bronze medal in snowboarding. Prather said Corning is special to the program given he was once a camper himself.

• Professional skateboard David Reyes will be at the resort starting June 16.

• Professional skier Lupe Hagearty is slated to join week 7 of the camp on July 14 The 2019 Summer Camp lineup continues between June and August, teaching children age 7 and up a variety of skills, including skateboarding, BMX, scooter, ski and snowboard. The weeklong, overnight camps are intended to set goals, fine tune skills and meet new people.

5 things (BPT) - Looking for a cure for the winter blues?

Start making plans for the summer. Having something fun to look forward to - such as days off and family trips - can make those dreary days more bearable. One thing you’ll want to add to your summer planning list is finding a great summer camp or two for your kids.

Even before leaves start appearing on the trees, many organizations begin announcing dates and enrollment for summer camp sessions.

Get a jump start on the process with this guide to choosing an enriching summer activity, where your child will also have a blast.

First, know the best places to look: You may not be aware of the number of great summer day camps taking place around your community. Start with college campuses, parks and recreation departments, local school districts and churches. Be sure to tune in to nonprofits, like performing arts centers, museums and your local animal shelter or zoo. Finally, ask the other adults in your child’s life for the inside scoop. The art teacher, soccer coach and scout leader may be in the know about the best camps in town.

Look for the immersive experience: When you think about it, “camp” is an odd word choice. But look at what sleep-away camp means to kids, and it makes sense. Yes, it’s fun to sleep in a cabin and spend all day sailing, swimming and climbing. What’s key is that these kids are immersed in a new reality that’s different from the usual home

parents should know before choosing a summer camp

and school routines. So when a local organization bills an activity a “camp,” they promise an experience that lets your kid jump in and become a part of something. When choosing the right camp, look for that quality. Is there a clear theme or topic? Will kids be active and involved? Or is the “camp” just made up of a series of talks led by adults?

Make sure your child is on board: Consider your child’s interests and how camp can make them stronger.

Your play-acting child with a flair for drama will probably thrive and bloom at theater camp.

However, if camp is a strategy to help them improve at something they struggle with, make sure the program is designed for these kids, or you’re setting them up for a session of misery. After all, you wouldn’t send your sportsloathing child to, say, a high-intensity wrestling camp to make them more athletic.

Don’t forget the fun factor: What makes camp truly memorable is having fun, so make sure the camp you’re looking at takes fun seriously. For example, Blake Furlow, CEO of Bricks 4 Kidz, says kids keep coming back to their camps partly because these sessions bring building with LEGO Bricks to the next level of fun and exciting. But watching their enjoyment unfold during the camp is also massively rewarding. “See-

4

ing the kids light up, get excited and make new connections during a Bricks 4 Kidz class is a heart-warming experience,” Furlow says.

Consider longevity: When looking at various programs, a good question to ask is how long the camp has been around. New summer camp themes and programs can sound exciting and fresh, but it takes a few rounds to work out the kinks with any new organization. Choosing wellestablished programs with experienced leaders is one way to ensure that your child will get that worthwhile and fun experience with a new activity.

If you’re looking for a camp experience from a trusted provider that fosters learning in STEM subjects, look for a Bricks 4 Kidz franchise in your community. Bricks 4 Kidz is celebrating its 10th anniversary of providing fun and enrichment for kids in schools and communities across the United States and beyond! At these camps, kids get to use LEGO Bricks along with specialized LEGO Technic pieces like gears, axles and electric motors to build unique and exciting models to help kids explore engineering and architecture - while having a blast doing it.

Making time for March Madness Basketball fans and non-fans alike come together for one of the biggest sporting events of the year

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Doug Pruitt’s glass of a dark micobrew, sweating as it rested on a coaster at the Library Co., a bar in Castle Rock, was still half full.

Arms crossed, eyes gazing upward at one of the four TVs behind the bar, Pruitt intently watched a college basketball game between Kansas and Oklahoma. He had no rooting interest.

He was studying, more or less. And looking for a distraction.

“I better get used to this,” Pruitt said, as he smiled and took another sip of beer.

Pruitt is not a big basketball fan. But he fills out a bracket every March and will follow the games for the satisfaction of earning bragging rights over his brother.

This year, Pruitt said, he won’t hardly be away from the TV. On March 20, one day before the tip-off of the first round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Pruitt is scheduled to get a vasectomy. He

and his wife, Tasha, talked about it for months. Pruitt decided if he was going to couch-ridden for the better part of a week, he might as well do it while there’s something worth watching.

“I honestly would probably be watching these games if I was sitting at work,” he said. “At least this way I don’t feel bad about it.”

During the first two days of the first round of March Madness on March 21 and 22, Pruitt plans to watch as many games as possible. The 2019 broadcasting schedule has yet to be released, but last year, games ran nonstop on four different stations — CBS, TNT, TBS and TruTV — from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

Pruitt isn’t alone in his dedication to watching the games. In workplaces across the country, one of the most noticeable divots in worker productivity comes during the two-week stretch in March.

Distractions at work Low worker productivity during the tournament two years ago contributed to about $6.3 billion in corporate losses nationwide, according to a 2018 report from WalletHub.com, a personal finance website, Darrin Duber-Smith, a sports marketing expert at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said the massive draw to the tournament can be attributed to a number of factors. For the most part, he said, it comes down

BY THE NUMBERS

$1.06

to fans’ affinity for the sport and how they identify with universities playing in the tournament.

“Every school has a basketball program. They might not have football or lacrosse, but basketball is something that is ubiquitous,” Duber-Smith said.

“It’s a culturally significant event. It

happens every year and at the same time every year, and if you’re not into it, you’re going to be touched by it in some way.”

Between the men’s and women’s Division I tournaments and tournaments at other levels of competition, there will be hundreds of games played during March Madness.

“You have something for literally everybody,” Duber-Smith said.

Peter Craig, of Parker, a University of Kansas alumnus, said during March Madness he wears two hats: one as a raving Jayhawks fan, hoping his alma mater wins it all every year, and one as a fan of the bracket.

“It’s close, but I’d say my team is bigger than my bracket,” Craig said.

“Every year, I always hope for a perfect bracket — everyone does — but in the end it’s just exciting to have that possibility. That’s why we love to watch sports anyway.”

More than 97 million people tuned in to watch the 2018 NCAA Tournament from the First Four to the Final Four rounds, according to NCAA.com.

The American Gaming Association, a casino gaming interest group, estimated more than 40 million people participated and filled out a total of 70 million brackets in 2018.

The madness that surrounds March reaches beyond the actual games.

“I don’t think there’s anything more American than that.”
