Superintendent: District can now heal

FRED MATAMOROS/GATEHOUSE MEDIA

FOLIO INFORMATION GOES HERE

Ewert meets with staff at Arapahoe High School

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the aftermath of the release of the independent studies into the Dec. 13, 2013, shooting at Arapahoe High School, Superintendent Brian Ewert said the district is finally able to move forward with the healing process.

“I spent two full days at Arapahoe High School last week talking to staff,” he

told the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education on Jan. 28. “There was a wide variety of emotions. Certainly some themes have emerged. Our goal is to continue to help the healing process. It’s just going to take a long time.”

He said he met with more than 40 employees, and expects to go back in the near future.

Ewert “I’ll just say it was well worth it,” he said.

Still, some in the community wonder if

the district is doing all it can.

“You can lock down the schools all you want, but if you don’t fix the climate, it won’t make a difference,” said Arapahoe High parent Heidi Schlossberg.

It’s a conclusion all of the studies concur with.

“The evidence of faulty systems thinking within AHS and LPS included a tendency for groupthink, a reluctance to reflect on and admit failure, and the minimization of sincere concern,” reads the report by the University of Colorado Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. “These findings represent the

most challenging and the most important of the problems to solve, because information sharing and threat assessment cannot overcome an unhealthy organizational system.”

Another mother addressed the board holding a picture of her daughter, a former Arapahoe student who killed herself in 2009.

“I just want you to know that (my daughter) once told me she didn’t think anybody at her school cared,” she said.

The district has admitted mistakes Arapahoe continues on Page 7

Dumb Friends League sends three to annual event

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com Three puppies from the Dumb Friends League — including two from Colorado — were drafted to star in Puppy Bowl XII to complete Animal Planet’s roster of adoptable players.

The Dumb Friends League is among 44 shelters and rescue groups representing 25 states across the U.S. and Puerto Rico participating in Puppy Bowl XII. All three of the Dumb Friends League’s puppies were adopted following the event.

The Puppy Bowl is recorded each year and then is aired on Animal Planet on Super Bowl Sunday. Puppies play in a model stadium as commentators weigh in about their actions.

“The Puppy Bowl is more than entertainment,” said Megan Rees, public relations manager for the Dumb Friends League. “It encourages adoption, a message that is ingrained in every aspect of the event. We are proud to partner with Ani-

mal Planet to help drive that message into millions of homes across the country that will be watching.”

As Littleton City Council reviewed its policies and protocols in anticipation of officially updating them during its next meeting, council member Bill Hopping slid in a suggestion that would deter council member Doug Clark from the desire he expressed during the last meeting to use his campaign email address for official business.

Hopping asked that using official email addresses for official business be added to the protocols, a document that guides council’s behavior toward staff, the public and each other. It says things like: Clark “Council/Boards should show respect for each other at all times. Disagreement and debate are constructive and expected.

An effective Council/Board is composed of members who are able to agree to disagree without personalizing issues.”

Things have bordered on breaking that particular tenet a few times since Clark rejoined the council in November, particularly between Clark and his former ally Mayor Pro Tem Debbie Brinkman, and particularly around the subject of potential development on the west side of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue.

Clark has insinuated that the city is conspiring with a developer to lure a Walmart to the site, a charge City Manager Michael Penny and Brinkman have angrily denied.

“I’m quite offended that it’s being used to fan the flames of fear in the community and to propagate lies,” she said on Jan. 5.

“It’s heartbreaking that this type of information is allowed to run through this community and scare people to death.”

As far as the email address situation,

FACES AMONG US

MILESTONES

Victor Andrzejewski was born in British Columbia to a Russian father and Canadian mother.

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

VICTOR ANDRZEJEWSKI Bartender, hard worker My background I’ve worked at Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub for about a month. I love it, it’s my favorite job I’ve ever had. I’ve lived in Morrison for about a year. Before that, I lived out

by Kipling and C-470. I kind of hopped between rentals.

I’m 23. I grew up in Lakewood, but I was born in British Columbia (Canada).

My dad was from Warsaw (Poland), but he left because of post-World War II stuff.

He ended up in Canada, where he met my mom, and they started a family. I have three older sisters. I’m the baby of the bunch.

I went to Green Mountain High School.

I’m going to Red Rocks Community College, but I’m taking a semester off. I’m tak-

ing accounting and economics, but I have no idea what I want to do with them.

My hobbies and interests I used to paint back when I had time.

I work three jobs: here, Breckenridge Brewery and Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar. I did spray-painting, some murals, but mostly canvas, graphic art.

I fenced for four years. I used to go snowboarding a lot, but my physical therapist advised me not to anymore. I did it for 12 years and I got a lot of injuries from it.

What I hope my future holds I’d like to travel around and see some different cities, different countries. I’ve been to Poland, France, Germany, every state except Alaska and Hawaii, and every province in Canada. I’d like to live in an interesting place as opposed to moving around all the time.

The first place I’d like to go is Switzerland. I’ve never been there, but I’d like to check out the basejumping there. I try to go basejumping and skydiving one or two times a year.

Races rely on using the right touch Colorado Center for the Blind hosts Braille regionals

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com On your mark, get set, Braille!

That was a challenge accepted by dozens of blind and visually impaired students from throughout the metro area who visited Littleton’s Colorado Center for the Blind on Jan. 28. They were there to compete for one of just 60 spots in the Braille Challenge, held this year in Los Angeles on June 22.

“The test is tiring for your brain and your hands,” said Jaden Diaz, a 10-year-old from Denver Public Schools. “But it feels good to win. You feel proud of yourself. And reading is my favorite thing to do in the world.”

Depending on their age, the kids were tested in spelling, comprehension, proofreading, charts, accuracy and speed. Matt Maurer, a professor of instructional technology at Butler University in Indiana, said it’s hard to know for sure what the average speed for reading Braille is, but he thinks it’s around 150 words a minute or so.

Winners won’t be announced until after the national judges at the Braille Institute are done reviewing scores from across the country, which is a long time to wait, agreed the kids. But in the meantime, they said they’d keep practicing for next year’s challenge.

The competition is designed to motivate students to emphasize their study of Braille while rewarding their success, according to a news release. And while most people might not think it takes a lot of motivation to learn to read and write in a world of constant communication, they might be surprised.

A 2009 study by the National Federation of the Blind found that fewer than 10 percent of the 1.3 million people in the United States who are legally blind can read Braille, and only about 10 percent of blind children are learning it. This leads to high dropout and unemployment rates in the blind community, which is likely to get worse as baby boomers age and the incidence of diabetes, a leading cause of blindness, skyrockets.

Denver Public Schools students get ready for another round of tests at Colorado Center for the Blind, part of the regional round of the national Braille Challenge. Photo by Jennifer Smith One reason so many might not be learning the system, Jaden noted, is that they think it’s hard. There are 190 characters in American Braille, with combinations of dots representing letters, numbers, math symbols, contractions and even some shortcuts, like one for the letters “ou” together.

Then there are people like 13-year-old Deya Villa, also from DPS, who has won the regionals two times and reads Braille in both Spanish and English.

“Braille is not as difficult as people think it is,” said Tom Anderson, an instructor at CCB. “It’s not uncommon for people to read as quickly as sighted people do in print, even 300 or 400 words a minute. But unfortunately, many children are discouraged from learning Braille.”

Not so at the Colorado Center for the Blind, which emphasizes independence and self-reliance. Ty Gillespie, 10, has been

attending the summer Confidence Camp there since he was 5, though this was his first Braille Challenge.

“I learned how to do a lot of things here, like slice tomatoes and grate cheese. And I love cheese,” the Cherry Creek School District student said with a grin. “I like it here because at school, I have to do things a lot differently than everyone else. But when I am here, I get to do things exactly the same as everyone else.”

Ty’s mom, Laura, said the family moved to Colorado specifically for the services Ty could benefit from, including the center.

“He’s positive most of the time, but sometimes he gets frustrated,” she said.

“The older he gets, the harder it gets. He does well academically, but socially it’s difficult. Things like this make a difference. He tries every day. He swims, bikes, skis. He does things I would never have imagined he could do. When he was first diagnosed, all

they were telling us was what he wouldn’t be able to do.”

Maurer, who has visited CCB as part of his research into Braille, agrees that the center helps keep kids on the right path. He explained that many are steered toward visual reading in public schools with limited resources, even when they know the child’s sight will eventually get worse. And magnifying tools take away from the experience of reading, he said, kind of like sitting in the front row at a movie theater.

“Let’s face it, listening does not equal literacy,” agrees Julie Deden, CCB’s executive director, noting that kids who rely on audio don’t learn spelling and punctuation.

“Not to mention, the act of quietly holding a book in your hands and reading for the pleasure of it is a gift. Independent reading is true independence of the mind. Braille is the only thing equivalent to print for the blind.”

Proposed drone limits falter one more time

For third straight session, legislators say no to rules

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Drone limits keep going down faster than a paper airplane in the Colorado General Assembly, which is bucking national headwinds to curb private drone use.

A House committee voted unanimously on Jan. 26 to kill Colorado’s third annual attempt to restrict private drones.

The bill was watered down to ban only

drones used to deliver contraband to prisons. But opponents pointed out that prison contraband delivery is already a crime by any means.

“It’s really not a necessary bill,” said Vic Moss, owner of a suburban Denver photography business and a drone enthusiast.

They argued that even a narrowly tailored drone limit could hamper commercial development of the new technology. The hearing attracted a wide variety of business lobbyists.

“We don’t want to see people doing bad stuff with them any more than anyone else,” said Chris Huston of a drone industry group called Unmanned Aircraft

Systems Colorado.

The bill had Democratic and Republican sponsors and originally covered airports, too. One of the sponsors argued that drones near airports are causing frequent flight cancellations and endangering fliers.

“With the emergence of new technologies, I just want to make sure the public is protected,” argued Rep. Paul Rosenthal, D-Denver.

The National Conference of State Legislatures reports that 26 states have some limits on drones. Arkansas bans drone voyeurism. California has limits aimed at banning paparazzi from private land.

New Hampshire bans drone use for hunt-

Silent auction a book lover’s dream Littleton group comes back with event for second year

South Suburban vote coming soon Seats held by LaBrash, Rosser will be up for grabs

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Autographed copies, first editions and other unique books will be offered in a silent auction during February at Littleton’s Bemis Library.

The Friends of the Littleton Library/ Museum offers their second annual Silent Book Auction. Look at the large display case inside the entrance to see what’s available, according to volunteer Sue McNamee. The auction bid notebook has details about each book.

The first set of 12 will be displayed until Feb. 14, when bids on those end and a second set is put on display until Feb. 28. (Some books and items such as a John Elway-signed football will be on display the entire month.)

Autographed books include two on railroad history, former president Jimmy Carter’s memoir, Kent Haruf’s “Plainsong,” folk singer Judy Collins’ novel, “Shameless,” and more.

Also included is a special limited edition in leather binding of Norman Rockwell’s “America” and “Elway,” a photographic history that pairs with the football.

Proceeds from the ongoing Friends’ Used Book Sale, stocked with hundreds of donations from the

ing, fishing or trapping.

But drone limits have become perennial losers among Colorado lawmakers.

Two years ago, a proposal to limit how law enforcement uses drones drew an unusual show of opposition from state administration.

Agencies ranging from the Office of Economic Development and International Trade to Colorado Parks and Wildlife showed up to take the unusual step of testifying publicly against a bill.

Rosenthal insisted that he wasn’t trying to limit commercial drone applications, just make sure they’re not used to commit crimes.

Interested candidates must be registered voters in Colorado. They must be either residents or property owners in the district or the spouse or civil union partner of an owner.

A self-nomination and acceptance form must be filed with the district before 5 p.m. on Feb. 26 for inclusion on the ballot. Forms and more information are available by calling 303-798-5131.

The five-member board of directors is elected at large to four-year terms on a nonpartisan basis. It meets on the second and fourth Wednesday evening of each month at Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S. University Blvd., in Centennial.

Additional study sessions or special meetings are called as needed. Directors are compensated up to $1,600 per year.

Current board members are John Ostermiller, Sue Rosser, Mike Anderson, Pam Eller and Scott LaBrash. Rosser must leave the board due to term limits and LaBrash is eligible for re-election, as their two seats are the ones up for the decisions of voters in May.

Sheriff’s office seeks three teenagers in robbery case Staff report Three teenagers with nearly identical descriptions recently robbed a 32-yearold victim at gunpoint at The Streets at SouthGlenn, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said. Investigators need help catching them.

The incident happened in the parking garage of the Centennial shopping mall

at about 5:50 p.m. Jan. 25.

“Given the time this robbery occurred, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office believes someone may have seen these males before the robbery or as they fled the scene, and may have seen them enter a vehicle or an area store,” reads a news release from the sheriff’s office.

All three are described as black males, about 16 to 17 years old, medium-length

hair, with slender builds between 6 feet and 6 feet 2 inches tall. All were wearing black pants. One was wearing a red and black puffy coat, the other two were wearing plain black puffy coats. One had on a black hood. At least two of them were armed with handguns.

They took cash, a cell phone and a key fob before leaving the area.

No surveillance video or photos are

available at this time, but the sheriff’s office believes the suspects are armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information regarding this crime or these suspects should call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867), or text DMCS and your message to 274637 (CRIMES). Callers can remain anonymous. The tip line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

were made.

“In retrospect and with the benefit of a great deal more information than was available at the time, we now understand that some warning signs were missed by those both inside and outside of LPS,” wrote Ewert in a formal report following the release of the three studies. “We are profoundly sorry that this may have contributed to the loss of two students’ lives that day.”

But the board, after reviewing the reports in addition to one completed by its own advisory committee that generally agrees with the independent ones, vows to do better.

“A lot of people took a lot of time to set us up to be better,” school board member Robert Reichardt said.

Security firm would have liked more information Safe Haven, the security consulting company that Littleton Public Schools employed to review its procedures before the shooting that claimed the life of Arapahoe student Claire Davis, notes several limitations in its ability to reach some conclusions and reserved the right to revise them should new information develop.

According to its report, “ All 11 subject-matter experts are of the opinion that these limiting factors make it impossible for any evaluation team to properly, accurately and fully opine on this incident to the extent that might otherwise be possible.”

Most of the documents Safe Haven reviewed were provided by school district arbitration attorney Steve Everall’s office, including arbitration records and those

were missed by those both inside and outside of LPS.’ Brian Ewert, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent provided by LPS and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

“We do not know if there is any information that might have been important to an outside evaluation but was not provided to us,” reads the report.

Examples cited include video footage of the incident from the security camera.

“We understand the importance of the LPS and ACSO taking proactive steps to prevent the mass distribution of the footage from this incident on the Internet as has happened in past incidents,” reads the report.

Safe Haven representatives offered to view the footage in person, but that request was denied.

They also did not get the complete diary of Arapahoe student Karl Pierson, the attacker, just the excerpts that were released to the public. Nor did they get permission from his parents to see his mental-health records.

They also would have liked for the two former Arapahoe High School campus supervisors, Cameron Rust and Christina Kolk, to have been deposed in order to clarify some critical statements they made publicly

City Attorney Kristin Schledorn after that.

She maintains that use of personal emails for city business opens the city up to liability when there are open-records requests, because the person it belongs to is ultimately responsible for what gets released.

The city, noted Penny, has a robust and searchable system to archive all emails, easily producing them when requested.

“That allows us to protect ourselves as an organization,” he said. “At the end of the day, there is not a legal requirement that you use the city’s email system. But this

that sometimes conflicted with what they told investigators and testimony of other witnesses, according to Safe Haven.

Ewert noted the Davis family’s arbitration team decided what witnesses to call, as the school district called no one.

Safe Haven was not permitted to conduct its own formal interviews due to the short time frame of the review, just six months, and the rules agreed to as part of the arbitration process.

“As with many cases of this type, our review team noted many inconsistencies and contested recollections in the statements of witnesses both in the criminal investigation of the incident and in the deposition process,” reads the report. “The high degree of stress, confusion and emotional trauma in these types of events often results in inaccurate memories. In fact, the transcripts of the depositions of a number of witnesses in this case indicate they were having difficulty recalling events both prior to, during, and after the attack.”

council made the decision.”

Personal emails between council members and constituents are generally OK to withhold, noted Penny, and Clark is free to use his campaign email to communicate with them. However, the protocol will require communication among council members and city staff to be via official email, and council members’ city email addresses will be the only ones listed on the city’s website.

“You’ve got to be ethical with your constituents,” said Beckman. “And we

get emails about events, grand openings, things that we need to know just to be out in the community.”

Clark simply isn’t buying the legal argument.

“Some of the stuff that Mr. Penny is saying is not my understanding of the law,” he said.

Brinkman said open-records requirements are just reality.

“I’m not conducting any city business that I’m not comfortable being on there,” she said.

Parker family gets in Super Bowl spirit Rivalry pits siblings against one another for big game

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com There is growing rivalry in the John family in Parker.

To get in the spirit of the 50th Super Bowl, the family dressed in their best sports gear. But something seemed out of place. It turns out the eldest child, Josiah, has taken a liking to the Carolina Panthers, and especially quarterback Cam Newton.

“The Panthers will win the Super Bowl because they’ve had a great season. They’re 15-1,” the 7-year-old says. “I’ll be wearing my Cam Newton jersey for the game.”

His younger brother, Tobias, 6, begs to differ. He’s backing the Broncos and will be proudly wearing his Peyton Manning jersey during what could be the future Hall of Fame quarterback’s last game as a pro.

Four-year-old Corban chimes in, saying “the Broncos will win because I want them to!”

And then there’s 2-year-old Dela, whose favorite part of the Super Bowl will likely be the pizza, says her mom, Kasey. The

The John children — from left, Dela, 2; Corban, 4; Tobias, 6; and Josiah, 7 — play up their in-family rivalry ahead of game day. Photos by Kasey John little cheerleader doesn’t necessarily need to watch the game to have a good time.

“I like to whip and nae nae on game day,” said Dela, according to her mom.

Their dad, Ishaku John, particularly enjoys the fact that

the big game “brings family and friends together.” He adds that “the Broncos will win because they deserve it, and they have worked so hard.” Mom believes the Broncos will take the victory, saying that “Peyton Manning’s going out on top.”

A family rivalry blooms as the John children of Parker take a timeout for a snapshot. The siblings can’t agree on who will win Super Bowl 50.

Traffickers seek safe haven amid legal pot Colorado becomes major source of illicit marijuana

By Sadie Gurman Associated Press Seeking a safe haven in Colorado’s legal marijuana marketplace, illegal drug traffickers are growing weed among the state’s sanctioned pot warehouses and farms, then covertly shipping it elsewhere and pocketing millions of dollars from the sale, according to law enforcement officials and court records consulted by The Associated Press.

In one case, the owner of a skydiving business crammed hundreds of pounds of Colorado pot into his planes and flew the weed to Minnesota, where associates allegedly sold it for millions of dollars in cash. In another, a Denver man was charged with sending more than 100 pot-filled FedEx packages to Buffalo, New York, where drug dealers divvied up the shipment. Twenty other drug traffickers, many from Cuba, were accused of relocating to Colorado to grow marijuana that they sent to Florida, where it can fetch more than double the price in a legal Colorado shop.

These cases and others confirm a longstanding fear of marijuana opponents that the state’s much-watched experiment in legal pot would invite more illegal trafficking to other states where the drug is still strictly forbidden.

One source is Colorado residents or tourists who buy retail pot and take it out of state. But more concerning to authorities are larger-scale traffickers who move

here specifically to grow the drug and ship to more lucrative markets.

The trend also bolsters the argument of neighboring Nebraska and Oklahoma, which filed a lawsuit in late 2014 seeking to declare Colorado’s pot legalization unconstitutional, arguing that the move sent a tide of illicit weed across their borders. The Obama administration last month urged the Supreme Court to reject the suit, saying that the leakage was not Colorado’s fault.

No one knows exactly how much pot leaves Colorado. When illegal shipments are seized, it’s often impossible to prove where the marijuana was grown. But court documents and interviews with law enforcement officials indicate wellorganized traffickers are seeking refuge in Colorado’s flourishing pot industry.

“There’s no question there’s a lot more of this activity than there was two years ago,” said Colorado’s U.S. attorney, John Walsh.

Some in the legal industry say police have exaggerated the problem and put unfair scrutiny on people who legally grow pot on behalf of patients. Lawmakers last year limited unregulated pot growers to no more than 99 plants in an effort to crack down on those selling untaxed pot.

The federal government allowed Colorado’s experiment on the condition that state officials act to keep marijuana from migrating to places where it is still outlawed and out of the hands of criminal cartels. Federal authorities acknowledge that both things are happening but say that, because the state is trying to keep its industry tightly regulated, there’s no

reason to end the legal pot trade.

The pot industry also acknowledges the criminal activity and insists it is doing all it can to keep legally grown weed from crossing state lines. Among other safeguards, Colorado law requires growers to get a license and use a “seed-to-sale” tracking system that monitors marijuana plants at every stage.

Many of the illicit growers come from elsewhere, never obtain a growing license and “don’t even attempt to adhere to the law,” said Barbra M. Roach, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Denver field division.

“It’s like hiding in plain sight,” she said.

Authorities in Washington state, which also allows recreational marijuana, have noticed more marijuana leaving the state. But more reports are coming from Colorado, which has the nation’s most robust commercial market and an international reputation for producing premium, high-potency pot.

“It’s a brand name now,” Roach said.

Jason Warf, head of the Southern Colorado Cannabis Council, said people are “coming from out of state, buying products from licensed stores and being arrested on their way home.”

That “is really hard to curb,” he said.

“We can’t essentially babysit adults and their behavior.”

The Colorado Department of Revenue’s marijuana-enforcement division cites shops if pot is unaccounted for, but “after it’s sold, we have very little control what happens to the marijuana,” director Lewis Koski said.

Police agencies seized nearly two tons of Colorado weed from drivers who had

intended to take it to 36 other states in 2014, the year legal pot shops opened, according to the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, a federally funded drug task force. By comparison, they seized less than a ton in 2009.

U.S. postal inspectors seized about 470 pounds of Colorado pot from the mail in 2014, up from 57 pounds in 2010, according to the task force, whose findings are based on voluntary submissions from law enforcement agencies and are largely anecdotal.

Some cases have comic overtones, like when a Wyoming patrolman discovered seven ounces of high-grade weed in trick-or-treat bags the day after Halloween, or when police in northern Colorado seized stuffed animals full of marijuana destined for Florida.

Other operations are more sophisticated, like the one in which authorities say 32 people used skydiving planes and posed as licensed medical marijuana caregivers and small business owners to export tens of thousands of pounds of pot grown in Denver warehouses, usually to Minnesota. The organization made more than $12 million over four years, according to a state indictment.

When they busted illegal pot farms in southern Colorado in September, state and federal agents found 28 guns, more than 1,000 plants and $25,000 in cash.

A local UPS facility intercepts about 50 pounds of pot headed out of state each week, said Todd Reeves of the Colorado Drug Investigators Association. “We don’t have the resources,” he said, “to be able to go after every single one of these cases.”

GOO HER T 2GE

Tammy Holland says she just wanted to get her rural Colorado neighbors to read up on a school board election when she took out newspaper ads last September that listed the candidates and criticized some of the board’s votes.

But that swept Holland into Colorado’s unusual system for investigating campaign spending violations. Unlike most states, where campaign finance regulators decide whether to prosecute alleged violations, Colorado’s constitution requires every complaint to be referred to an administrative law judge, who can then convene a trial-like process.

So when a school board member complained that Holland’s ads violated prohibitions against undisclosed campaign spending, the rules triggered a formal case against her, which has cost her $3,500 in legal expenses.

“I was not only surprised, I was terrified, I was humbled,” said Holland, a farmer and mother of a grade school-aged son.

With the help of a conservative-leaning legal advocacy group, Holland filed a lawsuit in federal court saying the rules violate her free speech rights and asking a judge to throw them out.

“Basically what they’ve done is outsourced the enforcement of campaign finance laws to any politico with a grudge,” said Paul Sherman, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, which is representing Holland at no charge in the lawsuit.

It’s a system that everyone seems to hate — even one of the people who filed a complaint against Holland with the Secretary of State’s Office, Byers School District board member Tom Thompson.

“It is a misleading and a convoluted process,” Thompson said. It “puts a private person like myself trying to interpret and enforce statutes.”

ads in the I-70 Scout and Eastern Colorado News, sister newspapers that cover a handful of small towns strung along a 45-mile stretch of Interstate 70 on the High Plains east of Denver.

Holland, a former preschool teacher, didn’t like the mandatory tests her son was facing in the Byers School District, about 45 miles east of downtown Denver, or the way school officials handled her concerns.

Her newspaper ads didn’t specifically advocate for or against any candidates in the upcoming Byers School Board election, but they criticized some actions by the current board.

“I ran the ads to inform the public they had choices and give them time to get informed and get ready,” she said in an interview.

Neither ad disclosed who paid for it, which troubled Byers School Superintendent Tom Turrel.

“I don’t think that’s right,” said Turrel, adding that some people thought the school district itself had paid for the ads.

Turrel filed the initial complaint but then withdrew it, thinking that he as superintendent shouldn’t be the one to take on the process. Thompson then filed his complaint on Oct. 18.

The administrative law judge who was assigned the complaint hasn’t yet ruled.

Despite his misgivings about the way the system is handling his complaint, Thompson defended his actions. He argues that the ads were designed to sway voters, and because they cost more than the $200 threshold for reporting campaign expenses under state law, Holland should have registered with the secretary of state and identified herself in the ads.

Holland’s federal lawsuit was filed Jan. 20. No trial date has been set.

The system isn’t likely to change soon.

No bills or amendments have been proposed in the current session of the Legislature that would alter the way complaints are handled.

Secretary of State Wayne Williams, a Republican named as the defendant in Holland’s federal lawsuit, didn’t comment specifically on the suit but said he has his own objections to the state’s system — especially previous court decisions that left

Dancers learn moves from other side of world Aboriginal dance group spends week working with students

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Dance students at Douglas County High School spent a week learning Aboriginal dance — including the reason that participants don’t wear socks.

“There’s a connection between my soul and Jarrah, which is the soul of the earth, through the soles of my feet,” said Thomas E.S. Kelly, a professional dancer from Queensland, Australia. “So it’s all about the energy going into the ground.”

Kelly is part of the National Aboriginal Islander Skills Development Association, a group of indigenous dancers from Australia. Kelly and his cohorts spent a week in the Denver area during their tour of America to do a workshop with the dancers at DCHS. Judi Hofmeister, the director of International Baccalaureate Dance at DCHS, said she hoped her students would be able to learn not just about new dance techniques, but also about a new culture.

“I decided that this year, because we learn about other cultures by how they dance, and I thought Australian Aboriginal would be a really cool theme for us.”

Kelly leads the dancers through stretches and warmups with intensity, directing the traffic through an orange traffic cone that the kids jokingly call the DCHS vuvuzela.

“For them, it’s so different,” Kelly said. “Contemporary dance

Maddie Guccione, a junior at DCHS, works with Aboriginal dance instructors Jan. 28.

Photos by Mike DiFerdinando in Australia is totally different than it is in America. In America, it’s more modern. It’s more about the technique. In Australia it’s more grounded in energy and rolling on the floor and stuff like that.”

Senior Melissa Quiett said her favorite part of the week has been learning the stories behind the indigenous dances.

“I just love learning the Aboriginal dances. I think it’s cool that they are all from a different aboriginal culture and it was fun listening to them tell their story,” Quiett said. “Each dance has a story and each movement has its own meaning. That’s something that we don’t see a lot of.”

Junior Simone Shamas said learning the new techniques has been a challenge.

“The preconceived ideas we had of dance have just been blown away,” Shamas said. “Just the feet and connecting with the floor and being part of the ground. It’s hard because we are used to pointing our toes. Their connection to nature is far more than what we have.”

Junior Maddie Guccione said the experience has inspired to see more of the world through dance.

“I think it has inspired us to travel and learn as much about different cultures and dancing as we can. I would love to be able to go to Australia one day.”

Thomas E.S. Kelly is a professional dancer and indigenous man from Queensland, Australia.

Rock music to fuel upcoming ballet Wonderbound troupe works with sounds of Queen, Bowie

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “We Will Rock You” promises the Wonderbound contemporary ballet company, borrowing a line from the British band Queen. Wonderbound’s February performances, “Rock Ballets,” choreographed to the music of Queen and the recently departed David Bowie, will please rock lovers and ballet aficionados when the company appears at Parker’s PACE Center on Feb. 13-14 and at The Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School in Federal Heights on Feb. 19-21.

Denver-based Chimney Choir and the Ian Cooke Band will accompany the dancers. Both have worked with Wonderbound in the past, in keeping with artistic director Garrett Ammon’s ongoing interest in collaborating with other area artists (also including the Colorado Symphony and Paper Bird).

Ammon’s “Love of My Life” includes the choreographer’s take on “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Are the Champions” by Queen. His “An Occasional Dream” is created to the music of David Bowie, such as “Life on Mars,” “Time,” and “Space Oddity.”

Cellist and rock musician Cook said “playing the music of Queen and David Bowie with our friends in Chimney Choir is an absolute honor.” He and Chimney Choir’s Jesse Manley have brought people from their younger audiences to discover dance performances.

IF YOU GO “Rock Ballets” will be performed by Wonderbound at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker, at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 14. Tickets: $22-$50, 303-805-6800, wonderbound.com. The company also will perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 and 20 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 21 at Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W. 84th Ave., Federal Heights. Tickets: $22-$50, 303-292-4700, wonderbound.com. gram is the world premiere of a new work by company dancer/choreographer Sarah Tallman, “Unbroken Sky.” It will feature songs created

by the members of Chimney Choir and the Ian Cooke Band and will evoke the explosion of the beatnik generation, according to publicist Amber Blais.

These classically trained dancers are remarkable to watch and unlike any other company in the area.

Performances at the Pinnacle Charter School will offer new artwork curated by Leon Gallery. It will be by Denver artist Mario Zoots and explores old Rolling Stone issues from the Bowie and Queen eras.

Coming in April: “Dust,” in collaboration with Curious Theatre Company, which will provide a script, and with Jesse Manley and his band, at the PACE Center, Pinnacle Charter School and the Newman Center at the University of Denver.

VOICES

LOCAL

Two ways to ask same question Typically when we are having a conversation and the question pops up — “Why does this keep happening to me?” — it is most often regarding something negative or a bad or troubling situation. I mean, most people never really contemplate that same question when things are going well, or do they?

We all have those people in our lives who lament or dwell on why bad or troubling things keep happening to them, and although some of them just think it to themselves over and over again, others will make sure they continue to ask you, me, and anyone else who will listen that same question, “Why does this keep happening to me?”

So let’s look at this in two ways. First let’s think about the people we know who are continuously in this situation and walk around like Eeyore from “Winnie-the-Pooh.” Do they really want to find a solution to the recurring problems or do they just want to keep the embers of discouragement and disappointment burning so that they can share their problems with anyone who will listen? Or are they just so stuck in a bad cycle and so close to the situation that they really do need help in figuring

out an escape route or new strategy? Assuming they truly want to break the cycle, there are many options including counseling, change in attitude, change in behaviors, and other solutions they can pursue.

The second way to look at this is underMichael Norton standing why there are people who ask the very WINNING same question, but ask WORDS it or state it in a positive way. They may ask or say something like, “I can’t believe this keeps happening to me, I am so very blessed.” They continue to meet new friends, experience success at work, build deeper relationships, achieve goals, realize dreams, and live in a sense of inspired purpose and comforting peace.

The difference between the two is the attitude and the behaviors. The person who can

claim that they are blessed or lucky lives with an attitude of gratitude. They live in a spirit of servant leadership, they give of themselves and give back financially where they can, and they also live with an abundance mentality as opposed to a scarcity mentality. People who think positively and are driven to act upon their goals with a sense of purpose and passion will never complain about why things keep happening to them; instead they will give thanks and show appreciation by continuing to expand upon the positive attitudes and behaviors that bring them peace, joy and satisfaction. These are the people who grow beyond success and into significance.

The business owner who has too much turnover or whose business is flat or declining, the salesperson who isn’t meeting quota, the person who is unhappy in their job, the spouse who is feeling unfulfilled, they may all ask the question “Why does this always happen to me?” But the business owner who is thriving, the salesperson who is exceeding expectations, the person who goes to work Norton continues on Page 13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hard to warm up to new appliance What I have for you today is another sign of the apocalypse.

Samsung is selling its new refrigerator for $5,000.

You can probably talk them down to forty-eight.

Why is it so expensive? It takes a picture every time you close the door. It doesn’t take a picture of you. It takes a picture of itself.

It takes a picture of what’s left inside.

Then the pictures are uploaded on the Internet, and you can stand there and block the aisle at the grocery store and look at them.

Lord forbid you run out of brown eggs or kale.

I have a 23-year-old refrigerator and it refrigerates just fine.

It doesn’t have an ice maker or a backup camera.

It doesn’t tell me if the atmospheric pressure inside is sufficient for noodle salad.

If I pick up the bacon, it doesn’t warn me, or tell me what’s going to happen to my insides if I eat it.

It’s just a refrigerator. It’s not a Family Hub. That’s what Samsung is calling its new

refrigerator.

I have a few things around here that I consider to be purposeful technology. I am writing on one of them.

I can instantly contact a friend in California or Japan.

Craig Marshall Smith I can find a video of A-Ha QUIET “Take on DESPERATION singing Me.” It’s a great video.

I have a digital camera that can record pictures of my dog, and turn them into a beautiful 8”-by-8” Shutterfly book, without ever talking with anyone at Shutterfly.

Shutterfly can use their technologies to put the same images on coffee cups, calendars and mouse pads.

I don’t want a car that drives itself.

I don’t want a car that parks itself.

SCFD bill is not the right fit The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District reauthorization bill, SB-016, falls short of good government ideals.

Here’s why: Accountability SB-016 assesses tax through 2030, funding Tier I (Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Art Museum, Botanic Gardens, Museum of Nature/Science and Zoo) automatically without oversight or policy objectives. These organizations will receive over $500 million regardless of need or performance.

Inclusivity Arts funding tends to overlook the poor, disabled, people of color and youth. When those communities are engaged, expressing their cultural and artistic voices, their experience bridges divides and builds healthy communities. Tier III organizations have a good track record performing these functions, and SB-016 fails to support them.

Growth and equity Regional growth has been dramatic the past 25 years, yet SCFD’s process failed to evaluate growth projections and future needs. This oversight is seen in the attendance shift since 1990: Tier I attendance grew by 65 percent, and Tier III by 736 percent!

Tier I and their advocates crafted the funding formula under the direction of the chair of the Tier I lobbying entity. The mandate was for incremental change with Tier I funds to exceed inflation and those powerful organizations benefiting disproportionately.

For good government, SB-016 should boost Tier III funding because: Tier III serves 33 percent of the people, yet will receive only 15.4 percent of funds.

Tier IIIs are efficient, spending subsidies of $1.42 per attendee compared to $5.56 in Tier I. Tier IIIs provide over 50 percent of free admissions and 36 percent of school programming.

SCFD grants to Tier III average 13 percent of their overall budgets; to Tier I, 20 percent.

SB-016 increases Tier III entrance requirements from three to five years as a nonprofit, making it harder for new organizations to qualify.

SB-016 is Denver-centric Denver contributes 29 percent of the tax and receives 82.2 percent of the funds. Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas and Jefferson counties contribute 71 percent of the tax dollars and receive 17 percent.

Those six counties average a 23 percent return on their investment, while Denver reaps 290 percent! These dollars generate economic and quality of life values. Taxpayers deserve Letters continues on Page 13

Service to others

Young Mormons seek to spread faith, attain spiritual growth through mission trips Members ‘called’ to service through prayer, inspiration Staff report Every echelon of leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints is the result of a member being “called” to voluntarily serve in his or her respective role, said Dale Lyman, a stake president in Parker.

Individuals have “free agency” at all times, which means they can decide for themselves whether to accept the position, Lyman said.

Unforeseen family circumstances, for example, could be a reason for declining a leadership role. The spouse of each person being called is also asked if he or she will support the other in the position.

Callings are determined by lengthy prayer and “done by inspiration,” said Lyman, who was asked to become a stake leader. A church bishop meets with counselors and leaders of each ward to discuss calls.

“They will pray to determine through the Holy Ghost who would best serve and benefit from that calling,” he said.

Highlands Ranch resident Kristyn Wilcox, who grew up in a Mormon household, jumped at the opportunity to join the women’s leadership structure called the Relief Society.

As president of the Relief Society in her 350-member ward in Highlands Ranch, she volunteers on Wednesdays and Sundays to teach young women ages 12-18 about contributing through faith. She organizes and oversees activities and occasional weekend retreats.

Wilcox still has fond memories of being in such a group as a youth.

“We shared our spiritual thoughts about our savior and our heavenly father and our role here on Earth, but we also had a ton of fun,” she said. “We played kickball, went on hikes, had campfires, and all kinds of good stuff.”

That passion for testifying about faith and service to others — whether it be through mission trips to distant places or leadership in local communities — defines the Mormon tradition of building strong family values, several church members said.

The family unit, said Dale Lyman, a stake president in Parker, lasts forever.

“We believe that families last in life as well as in eternity,” Lyman said. “Everything we do as a church is to help the

That focus branches out into other facets of life for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the LDS Church. Guiding others through the gospel is among the main goals, as is contributing to the communities in which they live.

The faith-based altruism has grown so strong it has reached beyond the borders of the U.S., where the religion got its start. Today, there are more followers outside of the country than in it — the result is due in large part to widespread outreach.

Tale of the tape

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press Peyton Manning is the only fivetime MVP in NFL history, one of the faces of the league and, at 39, the oldest starting quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl.

Slowed by age and injury, he is no longer the record-breaking passer he once was. Most folks figure Manning’s fourth Super Sunday appearance will be his last game as a pro.

Cam Newton is at the opposite end of his career, just 26, making his debut in the big game. He is part of a new Peyton Manning breed of dual-threat quarterbacks as good at running as they are at throwing.

When Manning’s AFC champion Denver Broncos play Newton’s NFC champion Carolina Panthers for the Lombardi Trophy in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 7, much of the focus will be on the two quarterbacks who were No. 1 overall draft picks 13 years apart.

“Oh, wow,’’ Newton said. “Playing ‘The Sheriff.’ ” That is a reference to Manning, who is 1-2 in past Super Bowls. He won a championship with the Indianapolis Colts in 2007, lost with the Colts in 2010, and lost again with the Broncos in 2014.

But this is a different version of Manning.

Yes, he’s still as good as anyone at diagnosing defenses and changing things up — or appearing to, anyway — at the line of scrimmage.

Yes, he’s still out there yelling “Omaha!’’

Cam Newton / Shutterstock “He most certainly is a Hall of Famer,’’ Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.

But Manning is not quite as capable as he was, once upon a time, when it comes to putting the football exactly where he wants it, especially on deep routes.

This has hardly been a record-setting season for Manning — or, until now, one worth remembering.

Overall, the bad far outweighed the good, including one game with a passer rating of 0.0, 17 interceptions to only nine touchdown passes in the regular season, being sidelined for six weeks with a series of injuries, getting relegated to backup duty in the NFL for the first time, and vehemently denying a report linking Manning’s wife to the banned drug HGH. “My role has been different and my contributions are different,’’ Manning said. “But I’m fortunate and grateful that I have the opportunity to contribute still,

in some way. And it’s a great honor to be going back to the Super Bowl.’’

While Manning was something of a game manager in helping direct the Broncos to wins over the Steelers and Patriots in the AFC playoffs, Newton was dynamic.

Newton threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran for 47 yards and a pair of scores, leading Carolina past the Arizona Cardinals 49-15 in the NFC title game. It was the type of performance he put on all season, the sort of promise he showed while winning a Heisman Trophy in college at Auburn.

“I keep saying it: We’re not finished,” Newton said.

“We’re not finished.”

OUR GAME >>> 50 YEARS OF THE SUPER BOWL

ColoradoCommuntiyMedia.com

BRONCOS, SUPER BOWL MAKE FOR A WILD RIDE Super Bowl 50 will be the eighth time the Broncos will play for the NFL championship.

And this is the eighth time I have failed in the lottery to have a chance to purchase Super Bowl tickets, despite being a season-ticket holder for more than four decades.

Maybe that’s why I shy away from buying Powerball tickets.

However, I was lucky enough to be at Super Bowl XXXIII as a writer for the Rocky Mountain News. That was Jan. 31, 1999, when the Broncos beat Atlanta for their second consecutive title at Pro Player Stadium in Miami.

Since I was a late addition to the coverage team, I missed all the media-day hysteria and didn’t have to do any of the advance stories. I did arrive in time to accompany friends for a dinner in South Beach.

The atmosphere plus the pre-game and halftime activities were something to experience. It was bedlam after the game trying to get comments from players only to have a surprise waiting when returning to the makeshift press box that was located in the stands.

It had rained, but some heads-up press box attendant had put the laptops of reporters under the tables so the computers didn’t get waterlogged.

John Elway became the oldest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl and later that summer announced his retirement, which could turn out to be one of several similar links to this season’s team.

On the home front It was terrific to attend a Super Bowl but it’s also been fun to observe how Broncomania runs rampant before the big games.

The

SUPER SHOW @

Fans paint their houses, sheds, hair and fingernails orange and blue. Billboards and business signboards offer words of encouragement and buildings are lit up with the team colors.

The star atop the rock Jim Benton in Castle Rock will once again shine with orange and blue lights this week.

In 1988, the Rocky Mountain News ran an advertisement of man offering to trade his wife for two Super Bowl tickets.

Luckily, it was a prank, since the Redskins whipped the Broncos 42-16 in Super Bowl XXII. I can remember sitting in section 306 of the old Mile High Stadium on Jan. 1, 1978, watching Otis Armstrong lean past the first-down marker late in the game to seal Denver’s 20-17 win over defending champion Oakland to earn the Broncos their first trip to the Super Bowl. The crowd noise and reaction of the fans was deafening and I couldn’t hear anything my son was saying.

That Broncos team had the Orange Crush defense and an offense that did enough to win, although they lost Super Bowl XII and the next three in which they were participants.

Many halfhearted Broncos fans didn’t want Denver to make another Super Bowl appearance and get embarrassed by another blowout loss. In Super Bowl XXXII against the heavily favored Green Bay Packers, Denver captured its first NFL championship with a 31-24 win in San Diego. That set off some unruly celebrations in Denver.

WHO IS GOING TO WIN

THE SUPER BOWL? Colorado Community Media reporters asked people around the metro area their predictions for the big game.

“I believe the Broncos are going to win. They play to the level of their competition. Any team that’s heavily favored against the Broncos can attest to that, e.g. Green Bay, New England.

What do they say — defense wins championships.”

“The Broncos, because of Peyton Manning. It will probably be his last game.”

Mel Bell, Littleton

“I think it is going to be 45-7 Panthers. If you have seen the Panthers play, they are a highly motivated team that plays like they are having fun every day.”

Dennis Phinney, Castle Rock

Dick Okimoto, Thornton

“The Broncos, if their defense shows up. And, if DT (Demaryius Thomas) catches the passes thrown to him, (Ronnie) Hillman doesn’t fumble and the cornerbacks and safeties can cover the Panthers’ wide receivers. Also if Von Miller and Demarcus Ware can get to Cam Newton.”

“I’d like to say (the Broncos), just because they’ve made a big comeback with Peyton being back. And Peyton’s good about studying team plans and that kind of thing. So, I think he’s really going to study the Panthers and do his homework.”

“I think Carolina will take it. Cam is playing lights out. The way that they ran over Arizona was impressive. I thought Arizona was going to win that game, but Carolina Cam in with a full head of steam and looked unbeatable. If the Broncos offense can’t score 28 points, I don’t think they can win.”

FULL PAGE AD “The Broncos will win, as the team has a lot of heart this year.

Their defense is good, and I like Peyton Manning — he’s a class act.”

Ruth Mitchler, Thornton

“(The Broncos) because of our defense.”

Rich Wood, Golden

Emmie Baykian, Castle Rock

Ted Casellini, Thornton

“The Panthers because they have Cam Newton and a better offense than Denver. He really is a double threat.”

Larry Mitchler, Thornton

“The Broncos will beat the Panthers based on number of players who have played in playoff games before. History has shown that it is hard for first time Super Bowl attendees to win as the hype and excitement affect the level of play.”

John Bodnar, Arvada

Dan Baron, Lone Tree

Free agent safety makes unexpected impact for Broncos

By Arnie Stapleton | Associated Press Safety Shiloh Keo made a bad first impression when he joined Denver’s dominant defense. He’s more than made up for it with big plays that helped the Broncos reach the Super Bowl.

Five days after joining the league’s topranked defense, Keo made a big blunder, surrendering the winning touchdown in the Broncos’ 15-12 loss to the Oakland Raiders.

Keo was a fifth-round pick in 2011 by Houston but hadn’t played in the NFL since 2013. He had to lobby defensive coordinator Wade Phillips for a job on Twitter, and then was pressed into duty right after signing because an injury epidemic leveled the Broncos’ depth at safety.

He helped them hold the Raiders to a

paltry 126 yards in Week 14, including minus-12 yards in the first half. But after Emmanuel Sanders fumbled a punt deep in Denver territory, the nightmare unfolded for the free agent who had been working out in hopes of signing a futures contract and making a comeback next season.

On third-and-15 from the 16, David Carr dropped back and threw to tight end Mychal Rivera, who whizzed past Keo and hauled in the game-winning touchdown pass.

Chided by his coaches, chewed out by his teammates and cursed by fans for not staying back in coverage, Keo vowed to make up for his mistake.

Has he ever.

Keo intercepted Philip Rivers with 5 minutes left in the regular season finale, setting up Ronnie Hillman’s game-winning

TD in Denver’s 27-20 win that secured the AFC’s top seed.

He topped that in the AFC championship game when he was pressed into crunch-time duty again along with Josh Bush when starting safeties T.J. Ward sprained an ankle and Darian Stewart sprained a knee.

Keo played 36 snaps on defense and 29 more on special teams.

He helped cover Rob Gronkowski on Tom Brady’s 2-point conversion attempt, and when Aqib Talib tipped the throw to Julian Edelman into Bradley Roby’s hands, they needed one more big play to seal the AFC title.

They got it from Keo. He lined up right in front of kicker Steve Gostkowski, whose first missed PAT in 524 tries in the first half put them in this

precarious position. The kicker had six teammates bunched to his right and four to his left.

He tried the straight-ahead on-side kick, but Keo sliced in and grabbed it 6 yards downfield, cradling both the football and redemption.

“What a gutsy play,’’ coach Gary Kubiak said.

Afterward, Keo sat in the corner locker, soaking in the moment with linebacker Brandon Marshall.

“When I think about it, I get emotional,’’ Keo said.

“They believed in me, that’s why they brought me here,’’ Keo said. “They trust everybody in this locker room. I just hope I can continue to come through and bring home a championship.’’

Broncos learned their lessons from big letdowns

By Arnie Stapleton | Associated Press

6x2 ad position

Before his whirlybird spin in the air forever etched him in NFL lore, two-time Super Bowl champion John Elway called his mother on the team flight from Pittsburgh after winning the AFC championship on Jan. 11, 1998.

“I said, `Mom, guess what? We get to go back to the Super Bowl!’’ ” Elway recounted. “She said, `Do we really have to go back?’ ‘’ After so many Super Bowl letdowns — three losses by an average of 32 points — she wasn’t sure watching her son face the two-touchdown favorite Green Bay Packers was such a good idea.

Many Denver fans are similarly pensive as these Broncos prepare to face Cam Newton and the mighty Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 as, in the eyes of many bookmakers, five-point underdogs.

They swear they’ve learned their lessons, however, after getting shellacked by Seattle 43-8 in the Super Bowl two years ago.

They won’t be beating each other up this time in fullpads practices in the lead-up to the Feb. 7 kickoff.

They’re praising their opponents aplenty — a lot like the Broncos talked up the Packers 18 years ago.

They won’t be soaking in the nightlife quite so full throttle.

They’ll certainly prepare for a loud crowd this time after former coach John Fox famously turned down the speakers at practices figuring it would be like a home game only to see that plan ripped apart in all of 12 seconds.

“We got spanked last time. I felt bad for a month and ahalf, two months,’’ said wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, the lone bright spot that night in the Meadowlands when Seattle’s sideline-to-sideline supremacy rendered his Super Bowl-record 13 receptions a footnote.

“He played great,’’ Elway said in the aftermath of that blowout. “If we all played like he did, we’d have won.’’

“Elway was asked after the last Super Bowl letdown how long it took him to get over his three Super Bowl losses.

“I’m not over them yet,’’ he shot back. “I just added this one to it.’’

Elway remade his team after its 35-point loss to the Seahawks. He committed $109.5 million by adding free agents DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward. The trio has helped turn Denver from an offensive juggernaut that had scored an NFL record 606 points behind Peyton Manning’s record-breaking run in 2013 into a defensive team.

Two years after taking the league’s No. 1 offense to the Super Bowl, the Broncos bring the NFL’s No. 1 defense, one that battered Tom Brady with an incredible 23 hits in the AFC championship game.

The Broncos also changed their offensive identity this

Shutterstock season with the hiring of coach Gary Kubiak, who installed a better ground game and a plan for Manning to share snaps with Brock Osweiler in practice.

The plan came in handy when Manning missed six weeks with a foot injury and Osweiler kept the Broncos rolling right along. And the ground game finally came on behind a new O-line in Kubiak’s zone blocking scheme.

Even though it’s been inconsistent, “I like what we’re doing offensively,’’ Elway said. “I like the system, obviously, having played in it and knowing that you can win world championships with it.’’

Elway changed coaches a year ago, befuddled by Fox’s teams losing their last game by a cumulative 150-66. He said he wanted a team that would “go down kicking and screaming.’’

That toughness has been on display all season.

Denver’s model is no longer lighting up scoreboards but

grinding it out, hanging around and making big plays at the end. It’s a formula that’s seen them win an NFL record 11 games by seven points or less, including 23-16 over Pittsburgh and 20-18 over New England in the playoffs.

“The mindset to me is that you know we play for 60 minutes — even though we haven’t consistently played well for 60 minutes — you know our mindset has been there. And that’s why this team is a tougher team because it’s a mentally tough one,’’ Elway said.

This time, it’s Newton and the Panthers bringing the high-octane offense to the Super Bowl and the Broncos sporting the star-studded secondary and ferocious frontseven.

They’re hoping this dynamic makes a difference — and like the Broncos teams of ’98 and ’99 they’ll make their nervous mothers proud.

Montana victimized Cincinnati twice in the Super Bowl, leading his 49ers to victories in both Super Bowl XVI and XXIII. But it was the latter game that showcased “Joe Cool” at his most clutch. Not only did Montana pass for a then-Super Bowl record 357 yards, but he drove his team 92 yards in 11 plays for a 20-16 comefrom-behind win.

After what seems like years of Super Bowl games that were decided early and definitively, we’ve been spoiled of late with close game after close game. And with close games come clutch performances.

Here are five such Super Bowl performers, with apologies to the many others from the first 49 editions of the big game who are not included:

• Adam Vinatieri: The most clutch kicker of our time? You can certainly make the argument, as Vinatieri provided the decisive points in each of the New England Patriots’ first three Super Bowl wins – in XXXVI, XXXVIII and XXXIX. His game-winning field goals in the first two games came in the closing seconds, and let’s not overlook the fact that he provided the game-winning field goal in the snow in Foxborough during the Patriots’ first playoff run with Tom Brady at quarterback. Vinatieri provided three more field goals in Super Bowl XLI to help the Pats win a fourth championship.

in the late touchdown that gave New York the 17-14 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Manning escaped the three defenders who almost sacked him on the play, and Plaxico Burress caught the game-winning touchdown later in the drive, but Tyree provided one of the most clutch catches in NFL history.

• Santonio Holmes: Speaking of clutch catches, Super Bowl XLIII also came down to a late touchdown. It was Holmes (named the game’s MVP for his nine-catch, 131-yard performance) who toetapped in the end zone while falling out of bounds to secure the gamewinning touchdown in the Steelers’ come-from-behind 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 6-yard catch in the back of the end zone came with just 35 seconds left in one of the most exciting Super Bowls to date.

• Malcolm Butler: Perhaps the most clutch defensive performance ever came in last year’s Super Bowl, when Malcolm Butler secured the Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. With everyone expecting the Seahawks to run the ball from the 1-yard line, Russell Wilson stepped back to pass, surprising everyone except Butler, who stepped in front of Ricardo Lockette for the interception and secured his place in New England Patriots – and Super Bowl - lore.

That’s understandable, especially since his last name is literally the state capital and “Rocky Mountain High” is the state’s co-official song (the other is “Where the Columbines Grow” for you triviaheads out there).

There’s a lot more to the Colorado music scene than Mr. Denver, and that’s one of the key messages the Colorado Music Hall of Fame conveys.

“We want it so that when anyone comes through the door, there will be someone they recognize,” said Gene “G.” Brown, director of the hall. “We don’t only want to celebrate the heritage of Colorado music, but the current musical community in Colorado.”

The hall of fame started in the 1stBank Center in Broomfield. But its outreach was limited, since it could only really be opened during events, Brown explained. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the City and County of Denver, and through Comfort Dental’s sponsorship, the hall was able to set up a more permanent location in June at Colorado’s live music epicenter — Red Rocks.

The hall set up shop at Red Rock’s Trading Post, and now is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, which allows not only concertgoers but also trail runners, exercisers and musical pilgrims to stop in and learn about the many gems in Colorado’s music history.

The mission of missionaries After completing high school, young men and women in the LDS Church often embark on a voluntary mission to preach the gospel — their destinations determined by church elders. Men go on two-year missions and women for 18 months, said Lyman, who has had four of his six sons serve missions. A fifth — his 18-year-old son — is expecting to learn in the coming weeks where he will serve.

Missionaries in south metro Denver traditionally use bicycles or cars to get around and deliver their spiritual message.

Aside from receiving a book called “Preach My Gospel” to help guide them through outreach, the decision on who serves a mission mostly comes down to the worthiness of each individual, said Lyman, who went on a mission to Peru

As the first inductee in 2011, and the most recognizable name in the state’s musical history, Denver gets pride of place, with a statue outside the trading post and a full room dedicated to memorabilia and facts Clarke Reader about his legacy.

One of his sterling LINER achievements was NOTES performing at Red Rocks 17 times.

“Instead of trying to set up some kind of hierarchical induction program, we thought it would be better to induct peer groups,” Brown said. “We’ve turned the induction ceremonies into events unto themselves, and we get contemporary musicians to fill the gaps in some of these lineups.”

So far, inductee eras include the ’60s, which included artists like the Astronauts and Flash Cadillac; the folk-rock scene of the ’70s, including Judy Collins, Poco and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; and early promoters Barry Fey and Harry Tuft.

The 2016 inductees, announced Jan. 26, focus on Colorado’s jazz scene.

Glenn Miller, Paul Whiteman, Lannie Garrett, Max Morath, Billy Murray and Elizabeth Spencer will all be inducted in April.

when he was 19 years old.

“The key thing is that they’re living the church’s standards, they know the testimony of Christ and are following the Ten Commandments,” he said. “They also talk about how the church has impacted them.”

Reaching out Kristyn Wilcox, a mother of four who lives in Highlands Ranch, said her son is planning to leave for a mission after completing high school in May. The 18-year-old’s destination has not been decided, but Wilcox is confident he will be kept safe by the mission president and his wife in whichever location he is sent. She expects her son will attain spiritual growth and a new cultural experience.

“He had some thinking to do about it, but I think he believes in the gospel enough to be excited about this chance to share his testimony,” Wilcox said. “It’s not only trying to convert people. Missionaries are involved in countless hours of community service wherever they go, and just to try to make every little corner of the world a better place.”

By the end of high school, most teenage boys have a natural urge to explore and engage others, she said. Like others on

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Future’s “Purple Reign,” released as a free mixtape online Review: Future was perhaps the biggest breakout in rap last year, despite having been around for years, and he extends his dominance into 2016 with this tape. The Atlanta rapper still buries his aching heart in woozy beats and codeine mumbles, but here he manages to pull the listener into his broken world.

The hope is to soon move on to more contemporary musical figures, Brown said, which could include everyone from Big Head Todd and the Monsters to The Fray and Pretty Lights.

As someone who has been immersed in the musical scene for years, both as a fan and writer for The Denver Post, Brown is a veritable fount of knowledge, and he has stories and tidbits about every musical figure.

Walking through the hall, he points out facts like how the Astronauts were bigger than The Beach Boys in Japan, or that the Eagles were such acolytes of Poco’s sound they lifted the band’s bass player — twice.

But his best stories are the personal ones he’s seen and heard firsthand.

Brown tells a beautiful story about local supergroup Sugarloaf’s induction in 2012. At the time, vocalist and keyboardist Jerry Corbetta was battling

Favorite song: “Inside the Mattress” Best line that sounds like a brag, but is actually heartbreaking: “Hit another city, and another city, I was just grooving I was trying to tell you I was losing I was gon’ tell you I’m improving.”

dementia, and wasn’t expected to play at the ceremony. Because of a little miscommunication, he ended up on stage and in front of his keyboard for the band’s last number. As Brown recalls, at first Corbetta was just playing some basic chords, but before long, his fingers began flying over the keys like he was Beethoven.

“I still get choked up thinking about it,” Brown said. “He didn’t know where he was, but he knew when he put his hands on his instrument.”

LDS CHURCH BACKGROUND The Book of Mormon, a collection of writings from ancient prophets and record keepers, is a “second witness” to the Bible of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to Dale Lyman, a stake president in Parker.

One of these prophets, Lehi, lived in Jerusalem around 600 B.C. God commanded Lehi to lead a small group of people to the American continent.

God continued to call prophets among these people. An angel named Moroni told Joseph Smith that a record of the ancient inhabitmission trips, he will be unable to return home for the time he is gone and can call his family only twice a year. But, like Hunter, he will be able to email his family once a week.

But the absence is for a good cause, Wilcox said. Her son is “motivated to do this for our church and his personal relationship with heavenly father.”

“There will be tears,” she added. “But there will be any time he moves away from home.”

The reward While Hunter was on her mission in New York, she also guided tours at sites associated with the Mormon religion in Palmyra, considered the birthplace of the

ants of the American continent was buried in a hill in Utah and that the record contained the gospel of Jesus Christ.

By the inspiration of God, Joseph Smith translated into English the ancient text written on golden plates. The book’s complete title is “The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.” It tells of the resurrected Jesus Christ and His visit to His faithful followers in ancient America. It is named after Mormon, an ancient prophet who made an abridgment of the sacred records of his people.

Source: Mormon.org LDS church, including the farm where Joseph Smith lived as a boy and where the first edition of the Book of Mormon was printed.

Although sharing the church’s message was her primary purpose, the trip was never about the number of conversions, she said.

Hunter was proud to have had a hand in leading three people to become baptized, the first covenant of the church. A senior couple who initially had reservations was among them.

“It was so incredible to see that God has softened the hearts of these people — and they were against it,” Hunter said.

“And they had us come back and they accepted.”

‘Medea’ loses no power through time

Ancient drama continues to pack emotional punch

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The “Medea” set by Justin Lane at the Edge Theater in Lakewood suggests a classical Greek temple in Corinth, with platform, painted backdrop with black, gray and white columns, plus large actual columns fashioned from hardware cloth. It provides a perfect background for the retelling of an ancient myth — that of the barbarian woman Medea, who arrived with Jason when he returned on the ship Argus after his travels in search of the Golden Fleece.

As we enter the scene, Jason (Drew Horwitz) has discarded Medea to marry a Corinthian princess, daughter of Creon (Rick Yaconis). Medea and her two sons by Jason are ordered to be banished from the kingdom.

Director Warren Sherrill has chosen to

Leading Denver area classical actress Karen Slack plays the role of the barbarian Medea in Alistair Eliot’s translation of the play “Medea” by Euripides, first produced in 431 BCE. It plays at the Edge Theater in Lakewood through Feb. 14.

Courtesy photo have the others in the cast clad in neutral-colored contemporary street clothes taped in October, it’s going to be a surprise to her what happens in the game.

The pup will be wearing his Broncos sweatshirt for the Super Bowl Feb. 7 and the family plans to watch Moose’s big debut following the football game.

Meet the players Moose Weighing in at 2.54 pounds, Moose, a 3-month-old poodle mix, will be representing Team Fluff. He first entered the Dumb Friends League as part of a large neglect case from southeastern Colorado. The day that he returned from taping the bowl in New York, Moose’s adoption contract was permanently signed with a loving new family in Parker.

“He’s been wonderful,” said Jenny Kuist, who adopted Moose, now renamed Rico.

“He’s really rambunctious but also a cuddler.”

Moose continues his training at home by going for three-mile walks and playing with his brother, Bob the poodle.

“He’s gonna kill it in the puppy bowl,” Kuist said, adding that even though it was

Ollie Curious Ollie had a rough start to life after being rescued from a neglect case in southeastern Colorado, but that turned around after he arrived at the Dumb Friends League.

Eventually, his talents in playing and generally looking adorable were discovered by scouts at the Dumb Friends League, and he was drafted as a first-round pick for Puppy Bowl XII. Weighing in at 2.75 pound, he joins Moose on Team Fluff.

Upon returning from New York for his filming debut, Ollie was adopted by the Ives family in Centennial. There, he is known as Baxter.

Mike Ives admitted that they were a little annoyed when they first found out the puppy they wanted to adopt was drafted. It

throughout the production, which makes the white-gowned Karen Slack, as Medea, stand out in every scene — especially at the end.

“I wish the Argus had never spread its wings,” says the Nurse (C. Kelly Leo), as she talks with the three Women of Corinth, who are a sort of Greek chorus, but with some individual lines. That opening line forecasts trouble — which comes in waves as we hear Medea’s back story.

“I am alone — I will discover a way to make my husband pay — you will not disclose it,” she tells the three women, who huddle and shiver. (They are a sort of weak link in the production.)

Creon appears and orders her to take her children and be gone — immediately. “Must I have you dragged away? One day more.”

She begs Jason to let their sons stay, while she returns to Athens alone … then, when refused, she becomes obsessed with evil plans.

Slack is riveting as madness overcomes her, crying out against her fate, while others meant waiting until Oct. 20 — after filming was complete — to sign the official papers.

“Now, it’s really cool showing friends and family,” Ives said.

Ollie’s football career was short-lived due to his preference for cuddling rather than running plays, but he gets plenty of play time in with his sister, Lucy, who was adopted from the same litter. The Ives children also help facilitate playtime.

The Ives family members are big Broncos fans — Baxter even has a Manning jersey he wears on game day. The family plan is to dedicate one TV for the Puppy Bowl so Baxter can watch himself, while the rest of the family cheers on the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

six free throws and a layup to put the Warriors ahead to stay.

Key players/statistics Nine players scored for the Warriors. Kyle Lukasiewicz was the scoring leader with 18 points, Kleeman had 16, and Flinders scored eight points for Arapahoe.

Three players, James Walsh, Jarred Johnson and Ryan King, scored six points each. Lukasiewicz led the team in rebounds with six, and Flinders led the team in steals with four.

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The walls of the gym shook with the cheers of Warriors fans for good reason Jan. 29, as Arapahoe posted a 71-66 overtime win against Grandview.

“This was a big game and a big win for us,” Warriors coach Brad Jansen said. “We have lost games when we were in the lead or tied late in the game like we were tonight. But tonight we put everything together, which enabled us to beat a very good Grandview team.”

Key moments It was a close game from the opening tipoff. Grandview pulled ahead 55-49 with three minutes left in the game. The Warriors responded with key buckets, and the score was tied 58-58 at the final buzzer, sending the game into overtime.

Arapahoe scored first in the fourminute overtime period on a basket and foul shot by Camden Flinders.

They said it Coach Jansen said the win was one the Warriors have been looking for.

“We got over the hump tonight,” he said. “I mean in six of our eight losses we have been ahead or tied only not to finish and get the win.

We have been talking a lot about what we needed to do to get over the hump and win one. Tonight we did just that.”

He said he was pleased with the toughness his players showed in the game.

Pirates’ hoops efforts fall short Deep Mustangs team drops Englewood boys 73-43

Cecil Ondack drives in and shoots against Fort Morgan defenders during the Jan. 26 boys basketball game. Ondack led the Pirates with 10 points, but Fort Morgan took control of the tempo in the second half and won the game 73-43.

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Pirates were at home Jan. 26, and they played a strong game at both ends of the court early. But Fort Morgan took control of the tempo with its fast-paced attack and aggressive defense, eventually notching a 73-43 win.

Key moments Englewood’s offense, spearheaded by the scoring of Cecil Ondack, kept pace with the Mustangs in the first two periods. However, Fort Morgan was able to maintain a track-horse-fast offense thanks to good depth off the bench, and the Mustangs outscored the Pirates 24-13 in the third period to take a 51-32 lead going into the final quarter. Englewood’s attack further suffered when Ondack was forced out

of the game with an ankle injury.

“Our kids are scrappy and they are working very hard,” coach Stewart Brewer said after the game. “Fort Morgan is a great team, and they are very deep. They built a good lead, but our guys never quit playing hard. We’ll just keep working to turn this program around.”

Key players/statistics Ondack led the Pirates in scoring

with 10 points before he had to leave the game in the third period with an injury.

Teammate Daryl Culbreath scored seven points, and Brock Breazeale and Jonathan Schroeder each scored six points for Englewood.

In the team statistics for the first 10 games, Angelo Garcia was the team’s leading scorer with 132 points, which Pirates continues on Page 30

Maurice “Stringy” Ervin, who never cut a swimmer during his more than 30 years as coach at Littleton High School, told a poignant story during his recent induction into the Colorado High School Activities Association Hall of Fame.

Ervin divulged to the guests in his speech about a junior high teacher warning him not to let a boy come out for the team because he would ruin the program. That individual did come out, and when he was a senior, he participated in the state meet.

“After the state meet, we were at Shakey’s Pizza and he was crying by himself back at a table, and I walked back to ask him what the problem was,” Ervin said. “He said, ‘Coach, it’s all over.’

I told him it wasn’t all Jim Benton over — it was just beginOVERTIME ning. I gave him the state championship trophy to take home and show his mom. His mom had never come to a swim meet.”

Ervin would not disclose the name of the swimmer or any other details.

Jess Gerardi, the Englewood High School band director for 20 years, was another of the eight people in the 2015 Hall of Fame class.

Gerardi, in his first year at Englewood High School in 1967, had his band perform at a Denver Broncos game. He wanted to do something that no other band had done at a Broncos game. The Pirates played the “1812 Overture” with canons, bells and about blew Mile High Stadium fans off their seats.

Two weeks later, he was offered the job as director of entertainment for the Denver Broncos and director of Denver Broncos band. He did that for 30 years, continuing with his duties at Englewood for 20 of those years.

The other inductees are Amy Van DykenRouen, swimmer, Cherry Creek; Judy Beardsley, volleyball coach, Merino and Sterling high schools; Natalie Hughes, cross-country/ track runner, Palisade; Irv Moss, sports writer; Chuck Williams, basketball player, Denver East; and Art Wollenweber, baseball coach/ athletic director, Sheridan.

Hockey is her sport of choice Melissa DiPonio played soccer, field hockey, softball and tried figure skating as a youngster. But when it came time to specialize in a sport, she chose hockey.

After all her dad built a rink in the backyard and Melissa has been on the Heritage hockey team for the past few seasons.

“I had a rink in the backyard when I was growing up and nothing seemed to click as well as hockey did for me,” said DiPonio, a senior at Heritage.

DiPonio has three assists this year and is looking for her first goal.

“I can’t wait for that,” she said. “My teammates are really trying for me. I’ve been working with coaches and I’m doing my best to get my name out there. Academic wise I’ve been accepted at CU and it would be nice to play there (on Buffs club team). I’ve been in contact with the coach, and my goal is to get to the next level.”

DiPonio understands hockey is a physical sport.

“I’ll take a hit to set up things that need to happen,” she said. “If I have my head up, I can get out of the way or figure out a way to get around a player. If I put myself in a position where I am getting hit, that just comes with the sport.”

Highlands Ranch atop poll The CHSAANow.com Class 5A girls basketball poll that was released Feb. 1 was loaded with six area schools among the top 10.

Highlands Ranch was ranked No. 1 and ThunderRidge third. Lakewood was fourth, Ralston Valley sixth, Horizon seventh and Cherry Creek eighth.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 1, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Guess what, Lamb? You’re about to experience a new perspective on a situation you long regarded quite differently. What you learn could open more opportunities later.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bold Bovine is tempted to charge into a new venture. But it might be best to take things one step at a time so that you know just where you are at any given point.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to go on that fun getaway you’ve been planning.

You’ll return refreshed, ready and, yes, even eager to tackle the new challenge that awaits you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child loves to fantasize about magical happenings in the early part of the week. But the sensible Crab gets down to serious business by week’s end.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) What goes around comes around for those lucky Leos and Leonas whose acts of generosity could be repaid with opportunities to expand into new and exciting areas of interest.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your concern about your job responsibilities is commendable. But you need to take some quiet time to share with someone who has really missed being with you.

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

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

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Aspects favor getting out and meeting new people. And as a bonus, you could find that some of your newly made friends could offer important business contacts.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might take pride in wanting to do everything yourself. But now’s a good time to ask family members to help with a demanding personal situation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Pay more attention to the possibilities in that workplace change. It could show the way to make that long-sought turn on your career path.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your need to succeed might overwhelm obligations to your loved ones. Ease up on that workload and into some well-deserved time with family and friends.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love rules for amorous Aquarians who can make good use of their ability to communicate feelings. Don’t be surprised if they’re reciprocated in kind.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Fishing for compliments? No doubt, you probably earned them. But it’s best to let others believe they were the ones who uncovered the treasure you really are.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your good works flow from an open, generous heart. Nothing makes you happier than to see others happy as well. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Continued from Page 28

Going forward Arapahoe came into the week with an overall record of 9-8 and a league record of 3-5. Each Centennial League team plays each opponent twice, and the Warriors face challenges as they enter the second half of the season.

They are on the road Feb. 5 against league-leading Eaglecrest, and on Feb. 10 they travel to Overland, the No. 2 team in the league standings. Arapahoe returns home Feb. 12 against Smoky Hill.

includes 29 three-pointers.

Ondack was the secondleading scorer with 108 points in 10 games.

They said it Culbreath said playing Fort Morgan always is a challenge.

“They really push the ball up the court, and it is hard on us to continue to be with them because we don’t have a lot of guys,” the junior said. “We have to keep on trying and focus on keeping on task to stay with them.”

He said as a guard, he tries to always keep moving, something he learned in football and in track.

“I had a fairly good game tonight,” he said.

“My goal for the season is to get better at basketball. I really want to improve my outside shooting. I like to shoot the three-pointers.

I do hit them sometimes and it feels good, plus it helps my team.”

are in the second half of our league season where we will see all those other teams again,” he said. “We feel we are 0-0 in league and just need to go forward playing as a team with contributions from all our players like we had tonight and see what happens.”

Kleeman said the team has been fighting all season to put everything together to win close games like the one against Grandview.

“I knew the situation and that the free throws in overtime were important, but I wasn’t nervous,” Kleeman said after the game. “I just tried to relax so I felt comfortable and hit the shots. This win was important for our team. It helps our confidence and our spirit, and it helps us to come together as a team so we are ready for the remainder of league play.”

He said his only personal goal was to help the Warriors get to the state playoffs and be one of the teams when the playoffs get down to the Great Eight.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know.
