New parking ordinance put to test in Idyllwild Restrictions in neighborhood being enforced as town makes changes BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Parker’s new parking ordinance is being put to its first test in the Idyllwilde neighborhood just north of Legend High School. The ordinance officially took effect Jan. 8. The parking ordinance allows for up to three street-parking permits per household. The ordinance is complaint-based, meaning the streets will not be patrolled. Guest cars, without a parking placard, are exempt from penalty. Residents of the Idyllwilde neighborhood, specifically along Idyllwilde Drive, Hidden Trail Drive and Season Court, were the first to vote to approve their neighborhood as a restricted parking area. The
The Idyllwilde neighborhood, just north of Legend High School, will be the first to implement parking restrictions on its street as part of the town’s newest parking ordinance. Residents of the neighborhood voted reportedly 81 percent in favor of making their neighborhood a restricted parking area in response to the cars parked along their streets belonging to Legend students. NICK PUCKETT Parker Town Council voted 4-2 Jan. 7 to approve the Idyllwilde neighborhood vote, reportedly 81 percent in favor of the parking restriction. The Idyllwilde neighborhood near Legend High School was one area of concern because of the increasing number of cars parked on neighborhood
streets by students who would otherwise need a parking permit to park in Legend’s student lot. The two “no” votes came from councilmembers Cheryl Poage and Jeff Toborg, the newest members of the council. Poage and Toborg both ex-
pressed concern over certain parameters of the ordinance, including the number of permits allowed per household and what Poage and Toborg referred to as “double taxation” — the specification that community members who approve the area restriction must contribute a certain amount of money to offset the cost of enforcing the ordinance. “I agree to the buy-in. I agree to saying ‘Would you be willing to pay a fee to do this,’ but actually causing (these neighbors) who will ask for a permit to pay $20 to park in front of their house … I can’t support that,” Toborg said. Toborg also brought up the issue that members of the community were able to purchase parking placards the day of Jan. 7, before the ordinance was officially approved. Councilmember Joshua Rivero said that although he was against the ordinance at first, because of his view that it would detract from the “small-town feel” of Parker, he changed his mind when he witnessed the number of cars
parked along Season Court on the first day of school in August. “The situation was getting worse and worse, to put it lightly,” Rivero said. “This used to be a springtime issue. As more and more drivers would turn of age, they would get their licenses. They wouldn’t get parking permits from Legend High School and thus they would start parking in the neighborhood around Legend High School.” The approval is the first instance of the implementation of Parker’s newest parking ordinance, which was approved Dec. 3. The ordinance allows for members of a community to vote for or against making their neighborhood a restricted parking area. “For us, as councilmembers, I don’t know if I accept a restricted parking area on its face,” said councilman John Diak. “We talked about buy-in. We talked about creating something new, something specific because of an outside circumstance, Legend High School.”

New and familiar faces were sworn into office during a ceremony for Douglas County officials elected in November. Seven county officials — District 1 County Commissioner Abe Laydon, Assessor Lisa Frizell, Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz, Coroner Jill Romann, Sheriff Tony Spurlock, Surveyor Robert Snodgrass and Treasurer David Gill — assumed office on Jan. 8 following a swearing-in ceremony performed by 18th Judicial District Judge Theresa Slade.
All but Laydon and Gill were incumbents re-elected to their seats, although Gill was already serving as treasurer after filling a vacancy created when former Treasurer Diane Holbert was elected by a vacancy committee to the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in April. “The swearing-in ceremony recognizes the journey that brought these newly-elected officials here today,” said board Chair Lora Thomas, “while also representing the beginning of a noble and rewarding opportunity to serve the public.”

Children lead charge for food-share program Gold Rush Elementary club shows how to get involved with community service. BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A group of Gold Rush Elementary School fourth- and fifth-graders are leading the charge for an inter-school food drive for the Parker Task Force and are encouraging their older classmates to do the same. Fifteen Gold Rush students are part of the school’s Interact Club, one of the only elementary schools in the state to have such a club. Interact Club is a Rotary-sponsored service club, typically made up of high school students, which gives young people the chance to participate in community service projects. The Gold Rush Interact Club is sponsored by the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club. “These young leaders really show the example for all of us. The whole mission is service above self, so as they become examples and share it with their peers, that’s huge, let alone the impact of what they’re able to do for an organization like the Parker

Map is sorrowful guide to lost loved ones Partnership addressing opioid crisis is tied to project born of grief
REMEMBERING LOVED ONES
The Celebrating Lost Loved Ones map can be found on the National Safety Council’s website at memorial.nsc.org. Its Stop Everyday Killers campaign with information about the opioid epidemic and its victims can be found at stopeverydaykillers.nsc.org.
BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The online map is a living, breathing eulogy of people who have died from opioid use. Matt Lazarus, of Castle Rock, “was known for having a ‘heart of gold’” and “will be missed by many,” according to his profile, which does not specify when or how he died. “I am so proud to call him my son,” the profile reads. “Love and miss you forever Matthew.” Alexander Leeds, of Golden, overdosed on heroin in 2013. His profile says it was the 22-year-old’s first time using the drug — he was attempting to stifle pain from a dry socket complication from the removal of his wisdom teeth. “As a mother it never gets easier, it just gets different. Prayers to every mother that’s gone/going through this same pain.” J.T. Lindemann was a Wyoming man who died in 2007 at age 22 after battling a drug addiction that started with a prescription for oxycodone. “He is greatly missed by family and friends and will be remembered by all as a free spirit, the spark that lit up a room with his smile and funloving ways,” his profile says. The Celebrating Lost Loved Ones map — now housed on the National Safety Council website as a nationwide testament of grief and love — was first created in 2015 by J.T.’s older brother, Thornton resident Jeremiah Lindemann, to show the human impact of the opioid crisis. Armed with data from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, Lindemann built a series of maps showing the steadily increasing numbers of opioid overdose deaths in Adams County and the state from 2000 to 2014. Lindemann then scheduled a meeting with Adams County commissioners, which inspired them to connect with other organizations and elected officials battling opioid misuse. Eventually, as a result of that outreach, Adams and Arapahoe counties teamed with Tri-County Health Department, a health agency serving Arapahoe, Adams and

Jeremiah Lindemann helped kick-start a three-county partnership to prevent opioid overdoses when he approached his Adams County commissioners in 2015 with concerns about the national opioid crisis. Lindemann lost his brother, J.T., who battled an addiction to prescription medication. JESSICA GIBBS Douglas county residents, to form the Tri-County Overdose Prevention Partnership in 2016.

COURTESY PHOTO citizen coming in,” Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio said of Lindemann. “He was so influential.” Diving in For Lindemann, the maps were a way to open up about his brother’s death after years of silence. J.T. was transparent about his oxycodone use, Lindemann said. “He said, ‘Give me five minutes and I can go into any bar and come out with it.’ He knew how to get it. It was just everywhere.” Lindemann, however, was confused by the drug. He’d rarely heard of oxycodone and didn’t know the medication could be addictive. At the
time of J.T.’s death, in 2007, no one talked about opioids, namely prescription pain medication, as addictive substances, let alone an epidemic, Lindemann said. In those days, Lindemann rarely spoke about his brother’s drug use. “It’s not easy talking about losing someone close to you to drugs, because of the stigma,” he said. Then actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died in 2014 from a combination of drugs, including heroin. A Colorado senator’s son was arrested and charged with heroin possession that same year. A story related to opioids was seemingly on the news each night, Lindemann said. The issue suddenly seemed to be everywhere. In 2015, he decided J.T.’s story also needed to be told. And that he needed to do something to help. A self-described tech geek who works in GIS mapping and knows how to mold piles of data into animated, storytelling maps, he did just that by creating a presentation comprising about seven maps detailing the rising number of opioid-related deaths in Adams County. In May of that year, he showed them to the Adams County commissioners and coroner. The maps were haunting, O’Dorisio remembers. The first one painted counties across Colorado in shades of red based on their number of opioid deaths since 2000. Adams County, along with Denver, Jefferson and El Paso,

The others showed activity on social media from people sharing about lost loved ones, locations of medication dropoff sites, deaths broken down by age or drug type, and more. “It really struck each of us, how scary it was, how serious the situation was,” O’Dorisio said. “It made me want to dive in.” Roughly three months after the meeting, Adams County created the Adams County Opioid Prevention Group to explore how opioid overdoses and misuse could be prevented in Adams County. Its membership included county commissioners, the county coroner, the Tri-County Health Department and more. Just the beginning In Arapahoe County, Bill Holen was grappling with his own connection to the epidemic — a 21-year-old nephew from California who grew addicted to Holen oxycodone following a car accident. In 2012, the Arapahoe County commissioner was appointed to his first term in office when he began noticing signs of the opioid problem beyond his own family. Holen started networking with other county and state officials to address the issue. In the spring of 2013, Arapahoe County formed the Arapahoe County Opioid Task Force to closely examine the problem and try to develop a plan to SEE MAP, P7

begin to address it. It initially included the coroner, sheriff and Holen, but later expanded to include Kaiser Permanente, Holen said. In 2013, Holen’s nephew died of a drug overdose the day after checking into a halfway house. He was attempting to transition back home after successfully completing a 30-day detox and a six-month outpatient program. He’d asked to come home, Holen said, but his parents feared he wasn’t ready and hoped the halfway house could be a stepping-stone out of treatment. “He was a beautiful young man,” Holen said. In 2013 and 2015, the years the Arapahoe and Adams county initiatives, respectively, began, rates of overdose deaths painted a troubling picture. Colorado providers wrote approximately 3.7 million opioid prescriptions in 2013 and about 3.5 million in 2015, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The rate of prescription opioid overdose deaths in Arapahoe County in 2013 was 1.6 per 100,000 people. In 2010, the rate was 1.95 and last year it was 6.2 per 100,000 people. For heroin, the rate was 2 overdose deaths per 100,000 people in 2013. In 2010, it was 0.64 and in 2017 nearly 2.5 per 100,000 people. In 2015, when the Adams County initiative began, the county’s prescription opioid overdose death rate was 7.6 per 100,000 people. In 2010 it was 5.1 and in 2017 it was 12.6 per 100,000 people. The rate of heroin overdose deaths was 2.8 per 100,000 people in 2015 compared to 0.84 in 2010 and 4.6 in 2017. O’Dorisio had begun researching how neighboring communities were addressing opioids when he learned Holen had already started work in Arapahoe County. Leadership from both counties’ opioid initiatives met in early 2016 to discuss shared goals and decided to join forces. The Tri-County Health Department came in to facilitate a new group comprising members from Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. With that, the Tri-County Overdose Prevention Partnership, referred to by its members as TCOPP, was born. It met for the first time in May 2016. The partnership quickly identified people in the community who wanted to fight the epidemic, including law enforcement agencies, members of the criminal jus-
BY THE NUMBERS According to the National Safety Council, the amount of opioids prescribed in the U.S. during 2015 was enough to medicate every American “around the clock for three weeks.” Nearly six in 10 Americans have leftover opiates at home, and 20 percent have shared those with another person.
Abuse reports 115 people in the United States die from opioid overdoses every day. Roughly 21 percent to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them. About 80 percent of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids.

According to the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health, 70 percent

tice system and community leaders, O’Dorisio said. The partnership, managed by TriCounty Health Department, today comprises more than 30 organizations and private citizens. In 2017, the partnership drafted goals and a multipronged attack plan by creating workgroups to focus on six key areas: youth prevention, public aware-
ness, provider education, safe disposal, harm reduction and treatment. TCOPP is among several organizations in Colorado leading the way to curb the opioid epidemic, said J. Scott Bainbridge, founder of Denver Back Pain Specialists and board member of the Colorado Pain Society. Holding workshops, like ones that TCOPP offers to educate
providers on best prescribing practices, is important in the mission. Holen believes the partnership has had a positive impact in the decrease of prescription-opioid overdose deaths and improved awareness of opioids’ addictiveness. The number of prescription opioid-related deaths in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties from 2012 through
2013 was 150. From 2014 through 2015 it was 206. From 2016 through 2017, the number dropped to 183. Still, “the enormity of the problem is getting worse, not better,” Holen said, as some people move to street drugs, such as heroin, when they can no longer afford prescriptions. “Now we’re seeing increases in heroin deaths and, with the introduction of fentanyl into the mix, we’re seeing increased uses of that,” he said. Fentanyl is a synthetic, or man-made, opioid medication that’s classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration as having a high potential for abuse. It is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports the SEE MAP, P8

are grieving every place in America,” Holen said. “The only way it’s going to get resolved is through a collaborative effort.”
most recent cases of overdoses or deaths related to fentanyl involved illegally made versions of the drug. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is typically used to control severe pain among people like cancer patients. The illicit version is often mixed with other substances like heroin or cocaine. From 2012 through 2013, the three counties reported 44 heroin deaths.

DA to examine claims of innocence for convicted BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Taking a proactive approach, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has launched a process to investigate “legitimate” claims that convicted individuals may be innocent, the office announced. “If there has been a miscarriage of justice in this district, and someone’s liberty is at stake, I want to ensure there is a path to have their liberty restored,” District Attorney George Brauchler said in a news release Jan. 7. Brauchler The Conviction Review Unit will consist of volunteers who once worked in the criminal justice system — former prosecutors, judges, law enforcement investigators and criminal defense attorneys — who will review claims of innocence submitted by those who have been convicted at trial in the judicial district. The judicial district encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. The claim submitted must be “credible evidence of innocence,” the release said — not a legal issue such as allegations of improper evidence collection or missteps in the court process, according to Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for the DA’s office. Those issues would fall outside of the Conviction Review Unit process.
The new initiative wasn’t spurred by an existing case in the judicial district or by pressure from advocacy groups — it was purely Brauchler’s initiative, Migoya said. “While we have no evidence that these cases exist in our jurisdiction, I know that the criminal justice system was created, and is run, by human beings,” Brauchler said in the release. “And like anything created and run by human beings, the criminal justice system is capable of making mistakes.” If a case is accepted, the CRU will review trial and case materials and any new evidence, and a reinvestigation may be conducted, the release said. If the CRU finds a valid claim of innocence, the case will be presented to Brauchler. If he agrees with the recommendation, he’ll determine what action can and should be taken. To the DA’s office’s knowledge, the only other similar initiative in the Denver area is the Conviction Integrity Unit started by DA Michael Dougherty in Boulder County last year, Migoya said. “My goal as the elected district attorney and the mission of my office is to seek justice,” Brauchler said. The CRU “is one more way I can serve the constituents who elected me to uphold and prosecute the law to the best of my abilities.” More details about the CRU process — and the applications to serve as a volunteer or apply for a case review — are on the DA’s website at www. da18.org/conviction-review-unit.

Report: Deputies justified in shooting armed felon last year Paul Askins died in August after deputies shot him during a traffic stop BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sheriff ’s deputies who shot and killed a man near Sedalia last year acted in self-defense and were justified in using deadly force, according to a recently-released report from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Paul Askins, 61, of Colorado Springs, died on Aug. 31 in what began as a routine traffic stop. Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office deputies shot him eight times after he exited a truck they’d pulled over with a stolen gun pointed at them. The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office Critical Response Team investigates all officer-involved shootings in its jurisdiction. “The deputies reasonably believed they, and each other, were in imminent danger of being killed or receiving great bodily injury from Paul Askins at the time they shot and killed Askins,” wrote Chief Deputy District Attorney Brian Sugioka. Askins was later identified as a career criminal and wanted felon who may have been suicidal. While investigating the shooting,
authorities found a wallet belonging to Askins in the truck with a handwritten note reading “When you kill me, call these numbers.” Friends and family reported Askins recently made suicidal comments. Here’s how the incident unfolded, according to the report: At approximately 4:40 p.m. Aug. 31, Deputies Larry Arguello and Gage Walpole were driving south on U.S. Highway 85. As they passed the intersection with Delva Road, a truck pulled out in front of them, forcing Walpole, the driver, to slam on his breaks. The truck also swerved into another lane, nearly colliding with a second vehicle. Walpole and Arguello pulled the truck over and Walpole asked its driver for her information. There were four people inside, with Askins seated in the rear passenger seat. Shortly after the traffic stop began, Deputy Joe Pollack arrived to assist them, if needed. Walpole searched the driver’s information and learned she had a restraining order against her for a man matching Askins’ description. Deputies then asked Askins for his identification. According to the report, Askins stumbled over the name and date of birth he first gave them, eventually providing three variations of the identification. Walpole searched the information but found no record.

Footage from a deputy’s body camera shows Paul Askins pointing a stolen semi-automatic pistol at a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Deputy, moments before being shot to death by authorities. COURTESY PHOTO Deputies determined they had cause to arrest Askins for false reporting and providing a false identification. Walpole, standing near the door where Askins was seated, ordered him to get out of the truck. Moments later, Askins opened the door and pointed a semi-automatic pistol toward Walpole. Walpole immediately backed away, raised his gun, fell down in the ditch
and shouted, “Don’t move, don’t move.” Askins, gun raised toward Walpole, continued exiting the truck. Walpole fired 10 rounds from his pistol. When Arguello saw Walpole fall down he believed Askins had shot him. Arguello emptied his weapon, firing eight rounds. Pollack also fired one shot. The shooting lasted approximately 7 seconds. None of the truck’s other occupants were injured. Askins received most of his prior convictions in Texas, according to the district attorney’s office. In 1977, he was sentenced to prison time for escaping county jail, among other charges. In the 1980s, he received three convictions for crimes including negligent homicide, burglary and credit card fraud. In 2000, he was convicted of assault and forgery, collecting another 10-year prison sentence. Also that year, Askins was convicted as a career criminal. He was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison and released on parole in 2012. At the time of his death, Askins was wanted for two felony warrants issued in El Paso County during 2018. According to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office report, friends and family said Askins recently expressed he felt “tired of being here.” The gun he pointed at deputies was loaded and functional but not fired during the shooting. Authorities don’t know when he wrote the note found in his wallet.

‘There’s only so long that I can hold out’ As the U.S. government shutdown continues, Federal Center workers yearn to get back to work
What they’re saying
BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jake Slyder was planning on taking his wife on a hot springs vacation to celebrate their two-year anniversary — but the U.S. government partial shutdown forced him to cancel those plans. Slyder is one of the more than 50,000 federal workers in Colorado who has been out of work since the U.S. government partial shutdown took effect Dec. 22. As he waits to return to his job — he didn’t want to say exactly what he does — Slyder picked up a job driving for the transportation service Lyft. “The biggest thing is the psychological effects — the uncertainty and anxiety,” said Slyder, a Wheat Ridge resident. Slyder is a contract geospatial imaging specialist for the Bureau of Land Management. He declined to say which company he works for, because he wanted to speak as an individual about his own experience. “We have some money tucked away. But how long will (the government shutdown) go on for? There’s only so long that I can hold out. It’s important to let people hear
The Denver Federal Center in Lakewood employs many federal employees. JOSEPH RIOS what people in our situation are going through.” The U.S. government went into a partial shutdown when President Donald Trump requested more than $5 billion from Congress to be added to federal spending legislation to pay for a wall on the Mexico border. The previous federal spending legislation expired Dec. 21, and when Democrats strongly opposed funding Trump’s wall, he refused to step down from his request — leading to the shutdown.

tician at the Federal Center in Lakewood, this isn’t his first rodeo dealing with a government shutdown. The Federal Center is a 623-acre campus that is home to 28 different federal agencies spread across 44 office buildings. In his 32 years with the government, this is his fourth time dealing with a shutdown as a federal employee. Sabel said he’s called Sen. Cory Gardner multiple times each day since the shutdown started, and he recently visited Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s office. “I love my job, it’s never a problem for me to go in,” said Sabel, a Lakewood resident. “I was dedicated to the cause — and this is what I get.” Sabel is married and has an 89-yearold mother he assists financially. “I’m tired of being a pawn in these guys’ games,” he said. Gy Moody is a contractor for the Bureau of Land Management, and he has
been out of work since the shutdown’s first day. All of his coworkers love what they do, he said, and they don’t deserve to be out of work. “I’m trying to figure out how to make $500 stretch another two weeks. The chaos of not knowing what’s going to happen is the hardest part,” said Moody, who lives in Wheat Ridge. “I’ve probably put five miles in just pacing back and forth. Everyone I know just wants to go back to work. We just want our lives back.” Trump recently stated that he is prepared to continue the partial government shutdown for “months, or even years.” “Any federal worker I talk to — they’re all invested in their jobs,” Sabel said. “Who is running this country, man? We didn’t elect Rush Limbaugh. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I never thought I would see anything like this.”

A handwritten letter can speak volumes
nce a week, I go fishing. I throw a few lines out, and I never know what I am going to catch. I received an extraordinary, handwritten, four-page letter (with enclosures) from a reader named Janet who lives in Franktown. This column is in its seventh year. I have received hundreds of emails, and a few letters, but nothing like Janet’s letter. She reminded me that she had written to me once before, last
winter. She called it a “fan letter.” I’ve mentioned before that I’m from Michigan, and it turns out she is from Michigan too. “I grew up in the most geographically dull part of the state, in the center of the mitten, in the small town of Alma.” I looked it up. The population was less than 10,000 in 2010, and it’s just a little over six square miles. Janet is familiar with Lake Superior State University in Sault
Ste. Marie, and Lake Superior State University’s annual list of banished words. She referred to the column I wrote last year about some of the banished words and expressions that are still being overused. “Transparency” for one. The 2019 list is out and it includes “POTUS,” “FLOTUS,” and “SCOTUS,” and one that is long overdue. “Legally drunk.” Think about it. I sent Janet a letter and
PARTISAN WRANGLING MATCH
thanked her, and told her that her letter reminded me of Ruth Todd (1909-2006), a dear friend whom I visited on Sunday mornings for eight years. I fixed breakfast for us and then we spent a couple of hours in her living room. Invariably she reminisced, and she had a lot to reminisce about, including dates with big band leader Eddie Duchin, and encounters with Buckminster Fuller and Carl Sandburg.
Early accelerated success leads to continued success
A
job begun is a job half done” — what a great quote, or proverb. I also like the one where it reads, “A job WINNING well begun is WORDS worth two half done.” What I am getting at here is that as I have studied successful people, one of the most common denominators Michael Norton is that they simply begin. Procrastination is a killer of success, but taking the first steps toward any project, task, initiative or business is the killer of procrastination. Before we dive into early acceleration of success, meeting with success, maintaining success, and continued growth and success, let’s first look at a couple of examples from the world of selling or new hires. You see, new sales people, not just “new to sales” sales people, but any sales person moving from one company to another will be measured on their contributions and successes.
The longer it takes for them to find and sell a customer, the more likely it is that they will be looking for success elsewhere. Now the mistake here isn’t always on the new sales person, as a matter of fact, the mistake largely falls upon the company that hired them and that did not provide an adequate onboarding or training program to increase their chances of accelerated success. This is a shame, because it costs a company so much money to recruit, interview and hire a sales person or any position within the company for that matter. Early accelerated success must be owned by both parties. Training, knowledge transfer and internal mentoring go a long way to ensuring a proper onboarding for any new hire, increasing the likelihood of success tremendously. Another terrific quote is, “Success begets success.” And this is true. So if we can take step one, have a job that is begun and half done, we will meet with success. There is no doubt. And that level of success is up to us, isn’t it?

I mean, we can place some of the responsibility of our success on our company, but if they do the proper training and coaching and onboarding, then the onus is upon us and our work ethic and behaviors. That is where we will meet with success. Now that we have had early and accelerated success, we have met with success, how do we maintain it? This is the easy one. We must simply do the behaviors that we did in order to achieve the level of success that we have achieved. Too often people who meet with success stop doing the very activities and behaviors that got them there in the first place. They change their attitude and work ethic and attempt to coast. And that is a recipe for disaster. Lastly, how do we continue to grow once we have met with success and have established a solid and proven track record of success? This is where continuous improvement and learning comes in. Regardless of our age, we are never too young or too old to learn
KUMMER FROM PAGE 12
Every financial plan should cover the key risks for any goal, but especially retirement, since it is the most expensive and longest lasting goal you will likely have. These perils include market volatility, health care costs, inflation and outliving your money. You should also consider that early retirement can cause you to spend more on travel, home improvements or doing things you never had time for while you were working. These large-ticket items also come with an inflation factor that is usually higher than the Consumer Price Index. This is important since investment returns and Social Security all mimic economic growth and inflation. Therefore, your income may not be keeping up with your expenses. Late retirement can also be very expensive, not only due to health care costs, but just the inability to do your own home maintenance. When you hire labor, be prepared for sticker shock. Mid-retirement is usually the least expensive, when you are not traveling as much but are still healthy. Unfortunately, this middle stage is what most retirement projections are based on, when the more expensive tails are typically what breaks a retirement plan. Imagine if one of these tails occurs during a recession or market correction. The most important tail is the first phase of retirement, or the red zone. This is planning and deciding when to retire, determining how much you need to live on and what your assets and resources are to last your lifetime. The decisions you make in this phase are most crucial since you still have 30-40 years of life to fund along with many unknown factors that
something new. And again, it’s as simple as taking that next step. Picking up the next book, going to the next seminar, subscribing to a podcast about the topic or activity you are trying to learn more about. Search out and find the right coach or mentor. Success is a process, not an event. Success is a journey and not a final destination. Consistent with procrastination being a killer of success, time is also our friend and our enemy when it comes to success. Similar to procrastination, but different enough to call it out. Procrastination means we are intentionally putting something off, something we control. Time keeps on ticking, whether we want it to or not. So how about you? I would love to hear your success story at GoToNorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember that early and accelerated success can lead to long-term and continued success, it really will be a better than good week.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12
Without fail, Ruth handwrote a thank-you note or letter every week. She expressed herself beautifully. However, her lettering was very tiny, as if it had written by Tinkerbell, whom she might have been. She was a very petite woman — a trace — with a squeak for a voice, the result of paralyzed vocal cords. To go along with it, she was from North Carolina, so her squeak had a Southern accent. Everyone is a story. That might sound like an exaggeration, but it’s true. Not everyone is an entertaining story, but there’s a narrative in everyone I see. I met with my editor for our annual conversation over coffee. (Mine, black. His, polluted with cream and sugar.) He encouraged me to write more human-interest stories, and I am all for it.
I immediately thought of Janet, and her four-page letter. I could tell by what she wrote and how she wrote it that she is thoughtful, intelligent, and that she has a sense of humor. “I have only been to the University of Michigan campus once when I was invited to some kind of medschool, fraternity special weekend. I was duly impressed with the historic, gorgeous campus — not my date.” I made a couple of assumptions about Janet. One, about her age: she said she “grew up in the quiet 1950s.” For another, she prefers the intimacy of a handwritten letter to the expediency of an email. It shouldn’t surprise me but it does: the reach of what I write sometimes, and eyes, like Janet’s, that follow along. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

could derail any plan. This is one of the main reasons it is important to plan prior to retirement. Learn how Social Security and Medicare work, and if you will need income from your portfolio. If you have no choice but to take income from your portfolio, and you have negative returns, you are experiencing negative compounding. The number one detriment we see in retirement planning is the inability to determine what your expenses will be. This is one of the crucial parts of planning for your “red zone.” The number two detriment we see is being too conservative too early. This chokes off potential growth that is needed for decades of inflation and unknown variables. Make certain you are designing your retirement strategy with all of these factors in mind. Then you can look forward to the “red zone,” and on Super Bowl Sunday, the end zone!

Passes Chris Linsmayer, public affairs director for Colorado Ski Country USA, a nonprofit trade organization representing 23 ski and snowboard resorts, said the key to saving money for a day of skiing or riding is planning. “The earlier you are purchasing tickets or purchasing rentals or purchasing lodging, the more money you’re going to save,” Linsmayer said. “It’s about knowing what you want to do.” But what about those Friday afternoon impulses to get some powder, or a sudden blizzard that promises a couple inches of the fresh stuff ? Finding day passes under $100 can be tricky, especially is you’re looking at some of the larger juggernaut resorts. Colorado Ski Country USA has a list on its website, ColoradoSki.com, of some of the lesser-known spots in the state that are good for a solid day of skiing — fittingly listed under the tab “Gems.” Liftopia.com is a good source to find discounted tickets for up to 50 percent off day passes. Local shops like King Soopers, Christy Sports and Colorado Ski and Golf can offer discounts on day passes as well.
oetry is one of mankind’s most important and diverse mediums. Poetry can be found in many of the most influential religious and historic works of civilizations the world over, and it has a power to entertain and enlighten. Poetry has been such a vital art form since time immemorial that Colorado became one of the first states to have an official poet laureate since Gov. Oliver Shoup appointed Alice Polk Hill in 1919. Since Hill, there have been seven state COMING laureates, ATTRACTIONS poet including the current one, Joseph Hutchison. And soon there will be an eighth. Nominations for the position are open for submissions through Feb. 1. One poet will be selected by Clarke Reader Gov. Jared Polis to serve a four-year term beginning in July 2019. “We seek a poet who can inspire others to create and share their work while sharing his or her own work with Colorado communities,” said Josephine Jones, director of Programs and Center for the Book with Colorado Humanities. “The poet laureate promotes an appreciation of poetry in Colorado and to honor outstanding Colorado poets. The poet laureate serves as an active advocate for poetry, literacy, and literature by participating in readings and other events.” According to information provided by the Colorado Humanities, which works with Colorado Creative Industries and literary leaders to provide suitable applicants to the governor, the selection of poet laureate is based on “artistic excellence, which includes publications by reputable poetry journals and presses, and a demonstrated history of community service in the advancement of poetry, as well as the ability to present poetry effectively” through public events. While poetry might seem like just another feature of the arts scene, Hutchison sees it as bigger than that. “Poetry is the language of freedom: free thinking, free feeling, free imagination. It reaches beyond `the arts scene’ and (ideally) enters the individual lives of readers,” he said.

Knowing how to save money can take some sting out of skiing BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ail and Beaver Creek resorts recently announced their day passes jumped to $209 per day at the door, a new all-time high, serving as a reminder that a day on the slopes is anything but cheap. Frequent skiers and riders can curb the steep day pass prices by purchasing season-long passes through Epic or Ikon. Those passes provide unlimited access to a number of big resorts, but are only available at the beginning or early in the season. For the casual skier, taking a day trip up to the mountains can get expensive fast. There’s the day pass, with face values of anywhere from $150 to $200, along with rentals, gear, food and transportation. But a day on the slopes doesn’t have to break the bank. For keen ski shoppers, September is the time to buy. It’s typically the point in the year when season passes are at their cheapest and a slew of sales on gear and clothing
are underway across the metro area, including Ski Rex at Epic Mountain Gear stores and the Powder Daze Sale in various Christy Sports stores across the Front Range. But there are still ways you can save on skiing, even midway through the season. January is “learn to ski and ride month” at most resorts, and deals can be found for beginning skiers. Finding a lessons package may be the best option for getting the most bang for your buck. Some resorts offer a package of a lift ticket, rentals and gear and instruction for cheaper than what each would cost separately. Knowing where to go can help you get the most out of your ski day. Brittany Smith, with the Colorado Mountain Club, a nonprofit organization that educates people on outdoor recreation, said pre-planning is the best way to save money. But also finding some less-crowded resorts can end up saving you a lot of money. “Ski resorts almost penalize you for your sponetaity,” Smith said. “They’re making you pay the most if you come last minute, but they give you a break if you pre-plan. Pre-plan at least a week ahead of time, if not more. “Your ski day is about what you make it to be, and I think that’s important.”

‘Natura Obscura’ offers journey to dream forest Englewood museum gallery becomes magical landscape BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Immersive art experiences are happening across the nation these days and we are fortunate to have an absolutely delightful art-surround experience, “Natura Obscura,” awaiting us at the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood.

Fiber optic lights in “Natura Obscura,” an Immersive exhibit opened at Museum of Outdoor Arts on Jan. 11. PHOTO BY HEATHER LONGWAY worked with master artist Mosquera through the summer, expanding on the initial vision she had developed with MOA. (All materials had to be readily available at Lowe’s, etc.) Other local artists were commissioned to create parts of the scene, such as “Simulacra Vision” by Nicole Banowetz and Chris Bagley. Trees, shrubs and vines grew, owls and other birds took wing and a series of inflatable creatures crept into the scene. Strange sounds were recorded and added life to the imaginary forest, and theatrical lighting added its magic as opening date grew near. (Remember to shine that little flashlight over the underbrush — here again the detailed touches are everywhere.) The light will also unearth messages for the visitor at the edges of walkways
Stroll through the entrance and move slowly, looking for special messages and pint-sized forest critters. Pause to sit on a pair of huge tree stumps as a video tale unfolds on a screen — and watch for the yeti mentioned at the entrance. A benevolentlooking owl flies in and out in a grove where a large swing awaits. Look for pictures of small creatures in grasses and on small stumps — they may be ready to interact and deliver a message via your activated device! Continue through curtains into another scene and sound … and a story about owls. Adventurers will want to visit the Sound Gallery at the back to enjoy a surround vision, set to music: “From Canyon to Cosmos: A Monk’s Dream.” Also in a rear gallery: “Synthetic Nature,” by three Design and Build alumni. (Push down on those tubes.) We’re told a pair of artists were still finishing up at 5 a.m. on the day when “Natura Obscura” opened to the press for a preview later in the morning. The attention to detail throughout is exceptional. Difficult to describe accurately, but I’d urge readers to take time out to enjoy this bit of fantasy while it’s here. (Not really appropriate for young children, as some items appear fragile and running and jumping activities are out. It’s more of a tiptoe environment and calming for the adult who once loved fairy tales!)

SKIING FROM PAGE 16
Gear/renting The best deals on gear can be found late in the summer at various mega sales like Ski-Rex or Powder Daze near the end of summer. Brianna Lee, social media and reputation manager with Christy Sports, recommends finding shops that are willing to sell demo gear at a discount once it’s been lightly used for a couple seasons. In that case, Lee said, you just have to ask around. For infrequent or inexperienced skiers, Linsmayer recommends buying your own boots, which makes it easier to try out different types of skis or boards. When it comes to renting, Lee agrees booking early is the way to go. And where you rent can also make a huge different in your budget. “Even renting at a Christy Sports in Denver versus in the mountains will save a few bucks,” Lee said. “Generally, renting in resort areas — even if it’s not from the resort — will be more expensive.”

Transportation Interstate 70 is famous for its mileslong bumper-to-bumper traffic during ski season. Sitting through traffic can be the most dreadful part of a ski day, one that wastes time and money.

Plant lecture starts 2019 right for area gardeners Denver Botanic Gardens top curator has traveled world gathering specimens
An early painting of Major Stephen Harriman Long, who led an Army expedition up the South Platte River. Botanists in his company collected a number of plant specimens which were Panayoti Kelaides’ subject in a talk for the Littleton Garden Club on Jan. 2.
BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton Garden Club’s members and guests filled the new meeting room at First Presbyterian Church of Littleton as they started out their year with an illustrated lecture from internationally recognized plantsman Panayoti Kelaidis, senior curator and director of outreach for Denver Botanic Gardens. In addition to developing the Rock Alpine Garden at DBG, he has traveled the world identifying and collecting plants through a long and distinguished career. We grow nursery plants developed from some of his finds in our Colorado gardens today, through the Plant Select varieties available at some nurseries — and listed and pictured online … Kelaidis started Plant Select, in cooperation with Colorado State University’s plant scientists. “The art of gardening in Colorado is the art of having an awareness of what you’re doing — don’t drown, don’t scorch,” he reminded us. As he spoke, he’d pull back to talk about how to grow a particular historic plant in our home gardens. Perhaps it’s one that requires shade …

plants discovered by Maj. Stephen Long’s Expedition in 1819/20, which started in Pittsburgh, crossed the plains and followed the South Platte River out of Nebraska and south to Pikes Peak and beyond to the Arkansas River’s starting place, passing near to Littleton. (For perspective, the Lewis and Clark expedition was 1804-1806, soon after the Louisiana Purchase opened up endless curiosity about “what in the world did we buy to the west? — and does it have any value?”) Other explorations followed. The Long expedition was ordered by John C. Calhoun, secretary of war. Assorted notes from the expedition were collected by Edwin James, botanist and geologist for the expedition. He compiled all the notes and drawings on terrain, plants, animals, native people, maps and more, publishing two volumes and an atlas in 1823 in Philadelphia: “Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains, Performed in the Years 1819 and 1820” was the title and a reproduction is available. (Long was sufficiently impressed with this man to name James Peak after him.) By naming the expanse of Great Plains “The Great American Desert,” scientists discouraged — for a time — the great numbers of settlers who
eventually ventured west. Kelaidis shared a photograph of great American botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911) camped on La Veta Pass. But he returned to further consider the very able James, who was a doctor, an environmentalist, an anthropologist, a linguist, an explorer, a farmer … “He started talking about what our relationship with our environment should be. He cared about the Indians early on and spoke against Andrew Jackson’s treatment of them …” Kelaidis, in addition to bringing a scholar’s knowledge about the historical expedition, had a number of slides of the actual plants collected in 1820, labeled with plant names in proper Latin. They are housed at the over-acentury-old New York Botanic Gardens. Columbine Aquiligica caerula is our beautiful state flower: Rocky Mountain columbine. There are hundreds of specimens, some of which would seem to be related to Asian plants, according to botanist Hooker, mentioned above. The speaker told of particular day when a group of botanists just focused on seeking new plants on Pikes Peak and scored a great many new ones on that day. “Butterfly weed,” named by Torrey on this expedition, is found everywhere in the West. Torrey also named the common lupine. Pursch, a German botanist took samples of it back east with him. Oenetera coraopfolia, the crownleafed evening primrose, was found by Torrey and Gray near Littleton. Eregonum has 40 subspecies and grows from 4 inches to 4 feet tall. (“There is one in Plant Select,” Kelaidis noted happily.) Discoveries could go on… Gardeners might want to refresh their acquaintance with the Plant Select collection — there is a book, there are brochures and a complete online listing, which will lead one to nurseries that stock them, in-house or online. (It’s the time of year when gardeners hungrily consume flower and plant catalogs! Tune in and enjoy!) These hardy descendents of plants James and Torrey found tend to adapt happily to our suburban gardens today. Plantselect.org.

“Cuba 2D” and “Cuba in Denver” offer a most inviting look at a rather near neighbor — but just for a short while longer. The Denver Museum of Nature & Science exhibit, organized by the American Museum of Natural History, is on the third floor and included in admission to the museum. Walk into a sunny plaza, with tobacco shop, a look at Santeria, the African-based religion, drums — with several for visitors to try out, plus a constant background rhythm — an ancient means of communication. Centered in the suggestion of a plaza: graceful white iron table and chairs, plus a pristine blue and white 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air — like the vintage cars that Cubans keep polished and running down colonial streets — as taxis and for personal use. Take a few minutes to watch the short film near the exhibit entrance for a fill-in on history of this island. Because Cuba was cut off from travel by Americans for a number of years, one would assume this bit of history hasn’t been part of school curriculum. Now that it’s a popular tourist destination for Americans (and has been for years for Europeans), one will want to learn more. The IMAX film, “Cuba,” which just

COURTESY PHOTO opened and will run until Jan. 23, before it opens wide across the country, is just a beautiful presentation, directed by Peter Chang, who obviously fell in love with Cuba. It begins with an aerial view of Old Havana, then zeroes in on city scenes, with colonial buildings, those legendary 1950s automobiles and music and dance ... Then a viewer is transported over lush, green, uninhabited terrain, wide ocean sunsets and lovely underwater shots of coral reefs, brilliant fish in many colors and exotic plants waving in the currents. Absolutely stunning! A side note is a study by scientists showing that the reef is thriving

Low carb? Low fat? What latest dieting studies tell us Diet profusion causes confusion; perfect conclusion may be illusion BY CANDICE CHOI ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bacon and black coffee for breakfast, or oatmeal and bananas? If you’re planning to try to lose weight in 2019, you’re sure to find a fierce debate online and among friends and family about how best to do it. It seems like everyone has an opinion, and new fads emerge every year. Two major studies last year provided more fuel for a particularly polarizing topic — the role carbs play in making us fat. The studies gave scientists some clues, but, like other nutrition studies, they can’t say which diet, if any, is best for everyone. That’s not going to satisfy people who want black-and-white answers, but nutrition research is extremely difficult and even the most respected studies come with big caveats. People are so different that it’s all but impossible to conduct studies that show what really works over long periods of time. Before embarking on a weight loss plan for the new year, here’s a look at some of what was learned last year. Fewer carbs, fewer pounds? It’s no longer called the Atkins Diet, but the low-carb school of dieting has been enjoying a comeback. The idea is that the refined carbohydrates in foods like white bread are quickly converted into sugar in our bodies, leading to energy swings and hunger. By cutting carbs, the claim is that weight loss will be easier because your body will instead burn fat for fuel while feeling less hungry. A recent study seems to offer more support for low-carb proponents. But, like many studies, it tried to understand just one sliver of how the body works. The study, co-led by an author of books promoting low-carb diets, looked at whether varying carb levels might affect how the body uses energy. Among 164 participants, it found
SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
those on low-carb diets burned more calories in a resting state than those on high-carb diets. The study did not say people lost more weight on a low-carb diet — and didn’t try to measure that. Meals and snacks were tightly controlled and continually adjusted so everyone’s weights stayed stable. David Ludwig, a lead author of the paper and researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital, said it suggests limiting carbs could make it easier for people to keep weight off once they’ve lost it. He said the approach might work best for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Ludwig noted the study wasn’t intended to test long-term health effects or real-world scenarios where people make their own food. The findings also need to be replicated to be validated, he said. Caroline Apovian of Boston University’s School of Medicine said the findings are interesting fodder for the scientific community, but that they shouldn’t be taken as advice for the average person looking to lose weight. Do I avoid fat to be skinny? For years people were advised to
curb fats, which are found in foods including meat, nuts, eggs, butter and oil. Cutting fat was seen as a way to control weight, since a gram of fat has twice as many calories as the same amount of carbs or protein. Many say the advice had the opposite effect by inadvertently giving us license to gobble up fat-free cookies, cakes and other foods that were instead full of the refined carbs and sugars now blamed for our wider waistlines. Nutrition experts gradually moved away from blanket recommendations to limit fats for weight loss. Fats are necessary for absorbing important nutrients and can help us feel full. That doesn’t mean you have to subsist on steak drizzled in butter to be healthy. Bruce Y. Lee, a professor of international health at Johns Hopkins, said the lessons learned from the anti-fat fad should be applied to the anti-carb fad: Don’t oversimplify advice. “There’s a constant look for an easy way out,” Lee said. So which is better? Another big study this past year found low-carb diets and low-fat diets were about equally as effective for
weight loss. Results varied by individual, but after a year, people in both groups shed an average of 12 to 13 pounds. The author noted the findings don’t contradict Ludwig’s low-carb study. Instead, they suggest there may be some flexibility in the ways we can lose weight. Participants in both groups were encouraged to focus on minimally processed foods like produce and meat prepared at home. Everyone was advised to limit added sugar and refined flour. “If you got that foundation right, for many, that would be an enormous change,” said Christopher Gardner of Stanford University and one of the study’s authors. Limiting processed foods could improve most diets by cutting down overall calories, while still leaving wiggle room for people’s preferences. That’s important, because for a diet to be effective, a person has to be able to stick to it. A breakfast of fruit and oatmeal may be filling for one person, but leave another hungry soon after. Gardner notes the study had its limitations, too. Participants’ diets weren’t controlled. People were instead instructed on how to achieve eating a low-carb or low-fat in regular meetings with dietitians, which may have provided a support network most dieters don’t have. So, what works? In the short term you can probably lose weight by eating only raw foods, or going vegan, or cutting out gluten, or following another diet plan that catches your eye. But what will work for you over the long term is a different question. Zhaoping Li, director of clinical nutrition division at the University of California, Los Angeles, says there is no a single set of guidelines that help everyone lose weight and keep it off. It’s why diets often fail — they don’t factor into account the many factors that drive us to eat what we do. To help people lose weight, Li examines her patients’ eating and physical activity routines to identify improvements people will be able to live with. “What sticks is what matters,” Li said.

Influenza cases on the rise in Colorado It’s not too late to get a flu shot, says Tri-County Health STAFF REPORT
Colorado has seen a recent spike in flu cases, and laboratory testing and outpatient visits indicate that the state has entered a period of more intense influenza activity, according to a news release from the Tri-County Health Department. More than 570 people have been hospitalized since the flu season started in early October, according to

the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Of these, 25 percent are older than 65, and 26 percent are younger than 18. Based on similar patterns from previous seasons, influenza activity is expected to continue to escalate, with peak activity from now through February, according to the Tri-County news release. This is due to exposure during holiday gatherings, from travel around the country and from children who were exposed while school was in session but who spent time at home during the holidays. “Colorado and Georgia have been declared by the CDC to be the states currently at the highest flu risk, so
one of the best things you can for your health as we start 2019 is to get a flu shot if you haven’t already gotten yours,” Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., executive director of Tri-County Health, said in the release. “People who are at higher risk of developing flu-related complications include children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with medical conditions or compromised immune systems. These people should be treated with medication when flu symptoms first begin.” Symptoms of the flu include high fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches and fatigue.

‘I’m looking forward to what’s ahead’
Running back has been quite a catch
M
Elle Bevis, senior forward at Legend High School, leads the 9-1 Titans in points (12.8 points per game).
NICK PUCKETT
Elle Bevis’ all-around play has sparked Legend to hot start BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
E
lle Bevis and her Legend High School teammates understand the value of working together as a team. To Bevis, their off-court chemistry is the key to the team’s success. As the Legend girls basketball team gears up for league play and a daunting gauntlet of talented teams, Bevis, a senior, believes her team is capable of matching up against anyone, so long as they stay true to who they are. “We just need to make sure that as long as we do what we’re good at, the rest will take care of itself,” Bevis said. “When you’re good off the court, it helps on the court because when you get on each other and stuff, you know it’s for the best.” Bevis, at 5 feet 10 inches, leads the Titans on the court with 12.8 points and nearly three steals per game. Though Bevis is described by her coach as an all-around offensive player, Bevis prefers defense — the Titans’ biggest strength.
COACH’S TAKE: ‘Everybody loves Elle. She’s a great teammate... She’s really a very dynamic offensive player. She has tremendous range — she can shoot up to 25 feet... She has a lot of versatility on offense. She’s doing a great job on the defensive side, and her rebounding has really improved.’ John Angelo, Legend High School girls basketball head coach
Q&A with Bevis How’s the season going? We’re off to a good start. We’re 9-1 right now, which is better than we’ve ever done in our program. I think the chemistry is really good with the girls off the court. That helps when you’re playing. How would you describe yourself as a player? I want to win. So making sure to be a selfless player, too. Making sure the team as a whole does well, and I like defense. I like to get the ball back. How do you prepare for games? I chew a piece of Hubba Bubba (bubblegum). And then I have the same playlist of songs. It’s just five songs, and I just listen to them over and over again. It’s become a superstitious thing. Do you have a favorite class? I think my favorite classes
are psychology and criminal ustice. Those both really interest me because they’re different from math and social studies. Do you have any memorable moments to look back on in your senior season? Whenever we went to the Parker Task Force and then we did a Secret Santa afterward as a program. A lot of times, “C” teams versus varsity, they’re not very close with each other. I think our team, we do stuff like that and it helps. We get to know each other — the freshmen and the seniors. Are you excited to move on? Yeah, I’m excited. It’s bittersweet. I’m going to miss my friends and stuff and playing here. There’s bigger and better things to come. I think the unknown is a cool thing. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

ax Borghi played a lot of football for Washington State University during the 2018 season, and he was only a freshman. Borghi was a standout at Pomona and had all the tools to OVERTIME make an impact in a Division I program but many times it takes a while for young players to adapt to college life and football. He is often compared to for- Jim Benton mer Valor Christian and Stanford star Christian McCaffrey, who now plays for the Carolina Panthers. Borghi and McCaffrey used to talk and workout together but Borghi passed on offers from Stanford and Colorado to attend Washington State. “Overall as far as my performance, I had a decent season but nowhere near where I want to be,” said Borghi. “It was a good, fun season, for sure. I still have a ton of work to do. The season allowed me to see where I need to work on things more.” Borghi, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back, was the team’s second leading rusher with 366 yards and eight touchdowns on 72 carries. He caught 53 passes for 374 yards and four TDs. Probably the correct position to list Borghi as playing would be all-purpose back, since running backs in coach Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense have to play a different role. Leach talked about what is expected from a running back in the Washington State offense following a 31-7 win over CU on Nov. 10 in a game that saw Borghi score on a 28-yard scoring reception. “You have to rush, catch and block,” Leach told reporters. “Not just one of the three. You have to do all three.” That was a change which Borghi took as a challenge. “This offense is a little bit different for a running back,” he said. “I think I adjusted well. Catching to the ball in open space is pretty nice and making the defender miss. “The offense is pretty cool, it’s pretty fun to make the defender miss and just get going.” SEE BENTON, P28

Borghi continued: “You don’t have to take the beating of rushing the ball through the line every play. It seems like the NFL is starting to have running backs catch the ball a lot more, so that’s setting me up for success in the future.” Borghi was looking toward the future when he graduated early from Pomona and enrolled at Washington State for the spring semester. He participated in spring football practice with the varsity. “Mid junior year I decided I was going to do it (enroll early) and had to take double credits to be able to graduate early,” explained Borghi. “It was difficult but well worth it. “It helped a ton. College itself is hard to adjust to and it helped me a lot in the school aspect to get used to all that so I didn’t have to do it during the season. As far as football, there was a lot of seven-on-seven, working

on my speed and stuff and in the weight room working to get strong to get ready for the season. It contributed to the season I had, learning the offense and all that.” There were more than 20 seniors from Colorado high schools who signed letters of intent to play football next season at Division I schools during the Dec. 19-21 early signing period. Borghi had some simple advice for those players, probably something that has been preached to them many times before. “Just keep your head down and work,” advised Borghi. “Work hard and stay humble. Nothing improves yourself more than just working hard. That’s what it takes. You are not going to make it unless you work hard.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Taking some time out of your usually busy social life could be just what you need to help you focus on putting those finishing touches on your plans for a possible career change. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A misunderstanding about a colleague’s suggestions could create a delay in moving on with your proposal. But by week’s end, all the confusing points should finally be cleared up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel overwhelmed by all the tasks you suddenly have to take care of. But just say the magic word — help! — and you’ll soon find others rushing to offer much-needed assistance. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Finishing a current project ahead of schedule leaves you free to deal with other upcoming situations, including a possible workplace change, as well as a demanding personal matter. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Turn that fine-tuned feline sensitivity radar up to high to help uncover any facts that could influence a decision you might be preparing to make. Devote the weekend to family activities. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A state of confusion is soon cleared up with explanations from the responsible parties. Don’t waste time chastising anyone. Instead, move forward with your plans.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel obligated to help work out a dispute between family members. But this is one of those times when you should step aside and let them work out their problems on their own. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your ability to resolve an on-the-job problem without leaving too many ruffled feathers earns you kudos from co-workers. You also impress major decision-makers at your workplace. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Newly made and longheld friendships merge well, with possibly one exception. Take time to listen to the dissenter’s explanations. You could learn something important. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be prepared to be flexible about your current travel plans. Although you don’t have to take them, at least consider suggestions from the experts in the travel business. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A problem with a recent financial transaction could lead to more problems later on unless you resolve it immediately. Get all the proof you need to support your position. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Daydreaming makes it difficult to stay focused on what you need to do. But reality sets in by midweek, and you manage to get everything done in time for a relaxing weekend. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to reach out to those in need of spiritual comfort makes you a much-revered, much-loved person in your community.
