For Joe Tonso, 71, snowmo-biling isn’t simply about the power of the machine, the speed, or the exhilaration of the ride, though the sport does offer those perks.
A Glenwood Springs native, Tonso moved to Craig in 1969 with his wife, Jenn, to teach math and computer science at Moffat County High School.
Avid outdoor enthusiasts, Tonso and Jenn spent much of their free time hunting and fishing.
Then, in the late 1960s, a friend who owned a Ski-Doo dealership in Glenwood
Springs convinced the couple to take out two of his sleds for the day.
How the Tonsos looked at outdoor recreation was never the same.
“My wife and I got on the machines and really enjoyed getting up into places where we hunted during the fall in the
Glenwood Flat Tops,” Tonso said. “We really thought that was so neat.
“We were hunters and fisher-men, and decided to take it one more step by going to see the country we loved while it had snow on it.”
Now retired, Tonso serves as grooming chairman of the Northwest Colorado Snowmobile Club in Craig and is actively involved in
the Colorado Snowmobile Association.
For him, snowmobiling is about enjoying the outdoors with his wife, as well as his close friend, Bill Spicer, 77.
Spicer, an Illinois native, NOWECOS board mem-ber, and also a retired MCHS school teacher, moved to Craig in 1962.
Though Spicer credits the Tonsos for introducing him to the sport in 1970, it was his agriculture and Future Farmers of America students who cemented his passion for snowmobiling.

The number of nonprofit organizations in Moffat County and the average hourly wage for local employees is on the rise.
That information, along with other statistics, comes from the 2012-13 Community Indicators Project report, recently released by Yampa Valley Data Partners.
“It’s meant to be a reference guide for people working on a variety of projects,” YVDP Executive Director Kate Nowak said. “It has a lot of great com-munity information people may need when building a business plan or when nonprofits need to apply for a grant.”
YVDP began the project in 2006 to measure quality of life in the Yampa Valley by studying the health of civic, economic, environmental and social factors in Moffat and Routt counties.
According to the report, 20 new nonprofit organizations were established in Moffat County between 2006 and 2010.
Nowak attributes the increase to the needs of the community.
“To me, nonprofits are coming to the area because certain needs aren’t being met either in the

If you’ve got extra funds put away for a rainy day, now might be the time to break them out and get your portfo-lio to see some growth. And, if you get involved with the right business venture, you might be strengthening the world around you, as well.
As part of this month’s 5:05 Drinks Program, Yampa Valley Data Partners will host special guest speaker Sam Jones with the presentation “Investing Your Money: Clean & Green.”
Jones, of Steamboat Springs, is the president of Denver-based business All Season Financial Advisors. He will discuss potential investments in the field of green energy, especially those that would be appealing to Northwest
Colorado residents.Organizer Kate Nowak said
Jones has been quoted in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, The Denver Post and SmartMoney Magazine.
“I’ve listened to him speak and the thing I like about Sam is that he tells it like it is,” she said. “He really lays it all out there. We’ve been trying to schedule him for a couple months, but he’s pretty busy.”
Nowak said attendees could benefit greatly from new infor-mation about green technology.
“Getting in on the ground floor of these kinds of things could make them a lot of money,” she said.
March’s 5:05 Drinks Program takes place at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Carelli’s Pizzeria & Pasta, 465 Yampa Ave. Admission is free, as are
the appetizers.For more information, call
824-1133 or visit www.yampa-valleypartners.com.
Thrift store owner weathers change
When you’re bargain hunt-ing, the best time to be out and about in the pursuit of the best deals is when the days are warm and inviting.
Though the climate is dras-tically different from when she first started her business, Michelle Noland still keeps customers in the same frame of mind as they were in the sum-mer.
Noland, the owner of M&M Secondhand Store, 80 E. Fourth St. No. 105, first started up last July in the wake of a similar store’s closing.
The business Faze II used to
operate out of her premises.“It was just kind of empty
and the landlord had to get rid of a bunch of their stuff,” she said. “At the time, there weren’t any other thrift stores except the (Community) Budget Center, but now we’ve had a couple more open up. It seems like not many people knew about Faze II when it was open.”
Noland said the idea to set up shop was the brainchild of a group of friends.
“A bunch of them asked me if they gathered up their stuff if I would sell it, so it worked out that way,” she said.
Noland’s store offers a vari-ety of used items donated by community members, with the greatest emphasis on clothing and books.
“I was doing quite well in the
summer and fall, and it’s kind of slowed down for the winter, but it’s slow all through town,” she said.
With the winter weather lim-iting her sidewalk appeal for passersby, Noland said she has to rely on word of mouth.
She said the challenge of making her presence known has been easy thanks to fellow business owners. She has gotten numerous referrals from neigh-boring businesses like Chaos Ink and Black Mountain Glass.
Her donation box also helps her keep inventory well stocked.
“It’s all based on the kind-ness of strangers,” she said.
Business hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

HISTORY TRIVIA
Clarene Ione Yonkers died Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012, at Hospice and Palliative Care of Western Colorado with her family by her side.
She was born Oct. 12, 1931, in Glenwood Springs, to Albert Oleson and Ione Carpenter. In 1949, she graduated as valedic-torian from Eagle County High School in Gypsum.
She married Russell Ping in 1950. The marriage ended in divorce.
On Feb. 25, 1969, she mar-ried Thomas Yonkers and moved to Edwards.
She and Tom owned Whitewater Package Liquor in Edwards for many years. They retired in Grand Junction in the late 1990s.
Following Tom’s death in 2002, Clarene moved to Craig to be closer to her daughter, Karen. She lived in Craig until her death.
She enjoyed dancing, puzzles, playing cards, bingo, playing the piano and crocheting. She and Tom enjoyed vacationing
in Las Vegas, but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.
In addition to her husband, Tom, she was preceded in death by her parents, brother Sam Oleson, and stepdaughter Shelly Yonkers.
Clarene is survived by her children, Michael Ping, of Grand Junction, Ronnie (JoJo) Ping, of Montrose, Rick Ping, of Gypsum, Kathy (Bob) Hammer, of Soldotna, Alaska, and Karen (Josh) Zimmerman, of Craig; stepdaughters Linda (David) McFann, of Denver, and Cindy Hersey, of Alaska; brother Jack Oleson; sister Linda Reynolds; and 12 grand-children and 16 great-grand-children.
A celebration of her life was Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012, at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Grand Junction. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Memorial Hospital Foundation in memo-ry of Clarene Yonkers.
Dr. John L. Ilko, Jr., was born Jan. 29, 1942. He died Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012, in Kearney, Neb.
Pheasants, fireworks and fast cars were a few of the words to describe our daddy. After a brief illness called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, our sweet daddy, Dr. John L. Ilko, Jr., went home to be with the Lord.
We would love for you to join us at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 10, 2012, at Horizon Christian Fellowship Church in Laramie, Wyo., to celebrate the memorable times we enjoyed with him.
Plans have also been made to gather in Craig later in the season for when the weather becomes pleasant for travel and
better for everyone if you can-not make it to Laramie. This date is to be determined and will be announced in the news-paper.
Left behind are his children and their spouses, Rachel and Nick Veenstra, and Johnny and Laura Ilko, and his lifelong friend and wife, Sally Ilko. They were married 46 years in June 2011, and God also blessed them with two grand-children he enjoyed, Keegan, 7, and Jacob, 3, Veenstra.
Condolences may be sent to 851 Evans, Laramie, Wyo., 82070 and calls directed to (970) 620-1457. Please celebrate the great times with Dad. “The idea is to die young as late as possible.” Ashley Montagu, (1905 –1999).
Funeral services for Lloydia Arnett, of Craig, will be at 2
p.m. Tuesday, March 6, 2012, at The Journey at First Baptist.
Interment will follow in the Craig Cemetery.

If he weren’t so smug, it would almost be possible to feel sorry for Mitt Romney.
Beyond the flip-flopping, has any worse actor ever attempted
the role of presi-dential candi-date? It’s beyond Romney’s powers to persuade most people of his sincerity about things he DOES believe, much less the many tenets
of contemporary GOP faith he probably doesn’t share -- assum-ing, for the sake of argument, that anybody, including himself, knows which is which.
There’s little doubt, however, that Romney believes he deserves to be president, in rather the way the fictional Lord Grantham deserves to preside over Downton Abbey. It’s his inability to con-ceal that sense of entitlement that makes him such an awkward politician.
The candidate’s cringe-inducing attempts to present himself as a Regular Joe almost invariably end in boasting. Campaigning in his native Michigan, he assured voters that his wife drives not just one $50,000 Cadillac, but two -- one at their Boston home, the other at their seafront mansion near La Jolla, Calif., as aides sub-sequently clarified. No word how Mrs. Romney gets around at their New Hampshire lakeside com-pound or their Park City, Utah, ski palace.
Visiting the Daytona 500, Romney admitted he’s not a keen NASCAR fan, but does have friends who own racing teams. Defending himself on CNN from the perception that his wealth leaves him “out of touch,” he allowed as how “If people think that there is something wrong with being successful in America, then they better vote for the other guy, because I’ve been extraordinarily successful and I want to use that success and that know-how to help the American people.”
On the “Today” Show, Romney explained that people concerned with income inequality are sim-ply jealous. “You know, I think it’s about envy,” he said. “I think it’s about class warfare. When you have a president encourag-ing the idea of dividing America based on the 99 percent versus 1 percent -- and those people who have been most successful will be in the 1 percent -- you have opened up a whole new wave of approach in this country which is entirely inconsistent with the con-cept of one nation under God.”
Got that, peasants? God’s behind the 13.9 percent tax rate Romney paid on $43 million he earned in 2010 while technically unemployed.

Special to the Daily preSS
I’m just an average Joe in flyover country asking for help with rising fuel
costs.Please don’t be offended.
This letter is not meant to be angry or invective.Nonetheless, when you took office in 2009, the country on average was
spending a mere $1.84 per gallon, compared to $3.76 or more per gallon in some areas of the country today.
This increase in price is a problem.
You see, size does matter.Americans have big
dreams and we need an ener-gy policy that matches these big dreams.
Here in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, a number of people like big trucks with big tires and cars with big motors that go fast. And like yourself, we like to go on vacations with our families.
We like our jobs in the energy industry. These jobs put bread on the table and keep the lights on.
We don’t want a piece of someone else’s pie — we’re more than willing to earn the American dream all on our own.
Americans are having a hard time making ends meet with the rising price of fuel because with it also comes
the rising price of food and other goods.
People are feeling the pinch, and have less money to fill their gas tanks. I’ve seen multiple cars in the past month that had to be pushed out of intersections and shoved into ditches, and by that I mean real ditches, not theoretical ditches.
Winston Churchill once said, “A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.” Meaning, the radical theoc-racy of Earth-worshipping needs to be dialed down a bit and replaced with reason and common sense.
The special interest envi-ronmentalist fanatics have you imposing environmental policies that amount to an oil embargo on the U.S.
You say your priority is creating jobs.
It seems to me the Keystone pipeline and an oil boom would fit right in with your priority, meaning American people and jobs would come first, before the environmentalists, right?
America needs to drill itself out of its current ener-gy crisis like it has success-fully done before.
In World War II, when an increase in fuel was needed for the war effort, we were able to increase domestic oil production, which helped sustain the allied forces.
A more recent example is when Ronald Reagan became president he was able to lower gas prices within six months by unleashing oil
production.You and your advisors say
that we cannot drill our way out of our current situa-tion, but history proves your theory is flat wrong.
Reagan’s policy of unshackling oil produc-tion gutted the speculation market by the promise of flooding the market with American oil.
Speculators didn’t want to secure and buy high-priced crude a year out when in the near future prices were going to be lower because of the increase in American oil pro-duction.
You could, as the presi-dent, ease current govern-ment regulations on drilling exploration across the coun-try and quit choking us and the economy like a Sunday necktie.
You’re in charge of the country’s energy policies, you’re our elected advocate on this matter.
You have the power to raise domestic oil production and meet global demand with more supply.
Right now our energy pol-icy is down right ludicrous, resembling a kid trying to pick his nose with mittens more than a free market sys-tem.
Americans would like to go on vacation instead of just watching you and your family go on vacation. For us to do that, we need lower gas prices.
So please, Mr. President, take your foot off the brake and give America a little gas.
Cringing with Mitt
Dear Mr. President

“For many of the kids I taught, if dad wasn’t going, they weren’t going,” Spicer said. “So one day they asked if I would go with them.”
Spicer didn’t own a sled at the time, but knew a guy in town who rented them.
“I never thought I would buy one, but after riding with the kids I went out and bought my first of 14 sleds in the fall of 1971,” he said.
Since then, Spicer estimates he’s logged approximately 60,000 miles on a snowmobile.
But the 2012 season may upset Spicer’s average. It wasn’t until recently that Mother Nature decided to cooperate.
“It’s been a really bad year for snowmobiling,” Tonso said. “Like everybody else we need the snow, not just for snow-mobiling. We kind of need the snow for water next year.”
Since the club’s inception in the fall of 1986, this was the first season the club did not have its 107 miles of groomed trails and open parks located 11 miles north of Craig marked by the first of December.
“We just marked our trails this past weekend,” Tonso said. “The reason being, we didn’t have enough snow to hold our posts up.”
Winter couldn’t stay away forever and patient riders were rewarded in a big way when storms began rolling into the region, dropping close to eight feet in the last few weeks.
“It’s all set up,” Tonso said. “They (NOWECOS members) tell me we got another foot at least of that wet, heavy pow-der on Tuesday, so the snow-mobiling right now is excellent because of that.”
Although the snow of late is prime for snowmobiling, previ-ous storms brought dry “sugar snow” to the area, which doesn’t set as well as the heavier kind.
Tonso likened sugar snow to ball bearings. When you have dry snow as a base, and then receive periods of heavier snow on top, the snowpack can become unstable and slide.
For the first time in 25 years, Tonso said the club posted avalanche warning signs on its trails.
“We just are not faced with those kinds of conditions, nor-mally, in this northwestern part of Colorado,” Tonso said. “But, as long as you don’t get the bot-tom (layers) moving, it is great snowmobiling.
“I mean, you can play in the trees and go wherever you want, but you do need to be careful on 30-degree slopes or greater.”
Although riding with friends
and family was the initial inten-tion of the club, members do much more than play.
“There’s a lot of good that comes out of it,” Spicer said of the club. “Like money for high school scholarships”
Every year, NOWECOS par-ticipates in the CSA’s annual snowmobile raffle, which pro-vides scholarship money for 27 of the state organization’s 36 member clubs.
The raffle begins each year after Halloween and runs until about a week before Christmas.
In 2011, 6,500 total tickets were sold by the 27 participat-ing organizations. More than one-sixth of that total was sold locally by NOWECOS mem-bers, which brought more than $1,700 back to the community.
NOWECOS also typically hosts a local fundraiser, a Poker Run, at Freeman Trailhead. The event combines snowmobiling with a five card draw tourna-ment.
The run attracts more than 50 participants from all over the state and raises an addition-al $1,000 for the club’s college scholarship program.
But the event, hosted each year in January, was cancelled this year due to a lack of snow.
Even so, NOWECOS has pledged to award two $1,000 college scholarships this year.
NOWECOS includes 78 members, but Tonso said the club is always looking for peo-ple, particularly young folks, to join their ranks.
“This is our only wintertime activity,” Tonso said. “We’re not a ski town, we’re a snowmobile town.”
The club rides together the sec-ond Saturday and fourth Sunday of each month, and departs from Craig Middle School at 9 a.m.

trails and events, visit NOWECOS online at www.northwestcolora-dosnowmobileclub.org.

government, healthcare or busi-ness sectors,” she said.
In addition, the report states the average hourly wage for local workers has increased steadily each year and is nearly double the defined self-sufficiency wage.
The self-sufficiency wage in Moffat County, as outlined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute, is $10.87 per adult.
In 2001 the average hourly wage in Moffat County was $17.72. By 2009, it had increased to $20.11.
“The average hourly wage in Moffat and Routt counties has risen 2-percent faster than the rate of inflation,” Nowak said. “That’s due in part to the fact that we have good paying jobs in the mines and through energy and utilities, but it’s also because it is expensive to live here and most businesses adjust their pay scales accordingly.”
Much of the information in the project report shows the quality of life in the Yampa Valley is good.
One blight in the report con-cerns rising property crime rates in Moffat County.
Although not as high as 2005
when the property crime rate peaked at 29.3 per 1,000 resi-dents, there has been a steady increase in property crimes since 2007, when the rate bottomed to 19.4 incidents per 1,000 resi-dents.
In 2010, the most recent year for data, the property crime rate spiked to 23.2 per 1,000 resi-dents.
Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta said property crimes are not on the rise in the sense that there are more home burglaries or car break-ins.
“What we’re seeing lately is an increase in shoplifting arrests, which would be reported as a property crime,” Vanatta said. “We attribute that increase to the down economy and more people being out of work.”
On a more positive note, the number of violent crimes has dropped significantly during the same time period from 3.2 inci-dents per 1,000 residents in 2005 to 1.3 incidents per 1,000 resi-dents in 2010.

with the pressure you feel at the free throw line, and in a big game I can go to the line and not feel as nervous.”
King said she practices free throws during and after every practice, and also at home.
Her family recently built a new half-court basketball court outside their home.
And, whether with a family member, teammate or by her-self, King said she usually tries to shoot about 500 free throws a week.
“At the competitions, there
are about 400 to 500 people in the stands, so I need to be able to handle a lot of pressure,” she said. “In a game, there is a lot more running and you are more tired, so I feel more confident having practiced so much with my free throws.”
If she misses a free throw, King said she tries to forget about it so it doesn’t affect the rest of her game.
“I have to erase it and just think about the next shot,” she said. “If I think too much, then I start messing up a lot more and missing a lot more shots.”
After her eighth-grade sea-
son, King said she plans to make the move up to Moffat County High School girls bas-ketball.
When she walks up to the line at MCHS, she will spin the ball
out, bounce it twice and then shoot, feeling confident in her shot.
“Free throws kind of come natural to me now,” she said. “I kind of get in a groove and just
keep doing what I have to time and time again.”

BRIEFS: Indoor soccer tournament at Boys & Girls Club of Craig on March 10FROM PAGE 20
BY JOSHUA GORDONDAILY PRESS WRITER
Last year, the Little Snake River Valley School (Wyo.) boys varsity basketball team got back to prominence, winning the 1A state title.
This season was about stay-ing on top, head coach Paul Prestrud said.
The Rattlers went from November to March, never losing in 28 games, capped by a 70-59 victory Saturday over Burlington in Casper, Wyo., to capture their second consecu-tive state championship.
“Last year was the first time in a while we won a title, so I think this year there was a little more pressure,” Prestrud said. “It was nice to go undefeated and prove in the final game that we didn’t just beat easy teams because we played a good team in Burlington and beat them playing our game.”
It was the team’s three seniors — Miles Englehart, Rex Stanley and Daniel Wille — who again led the team in their final game as Rattlers.
Wille led the team with 22 points, Englehart added 17, and Stanley chalked up a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
“Offensively, we were able to get the ball inside to Rex who scored off the glass,” Prestrud said. “Daniel and (junior)
Conner (Lee) drove into the hole and Miles was great, able to score from wherever he want-ed.”
The Rattlers turned the ball over their first two possessions of the game, but Prestrud said his players didn’t falter, scoring 21 points each in the second and third quarters.
Prestrud said Burlington outrebounded the Rattlers, but it was LSRV’s defense that
controlled the game.“Our defense is what really
won it for us,” he said. “Before the game in the locker room, I told the guys the defense would win us the championship and we held each of Burlington’s players under their season aver-age.”
LSRV girls avenge last season with state title
Jodi Stanley said when
Cokeville beat the LSRV girls varsity basketball team in the state semifinals last season, she struggled to let go of the loss.
On Saturday, Stanley and the Rattlers got payback, beating Cokeville, 53-38, to capture the team’s first state title since 2002.
“I think it was fitting that we beat Cokeville for the title, and it was a long time com-ing” said Stanley, the Rattlers’ head coach. “It was a sense
of accomplishment because I know how hard these girls worked all season.
“In the course of a season, a lot of things can go wrong, so it took some luck, but we got where we wanted to be.”
Junior Taylor Kaisler led the Rattlers (28-0) with 18 points, senior Morgan Wille scored 13, and fellow senior Caelee Criswell and sophomore Lydia Skalberg each put up eight.
Each of the Rattlers’ starting five scored in the first quarter to give the Rattlers a 22-10 lead.
Stanley said it was fitting for the starters to each contribute because of their teamwork all season.
“For the whole season, these girls played very unselfish and we had a different girl step up each night,” she said. “We were able to get good shots and took the ball to the basket.
“From the beginning, we were successful offensively.”
As it had all season, how-ever, Stanley said the Rattlers’ defense created offensive oppor-tunities all night.
“We were able to get some big steals and when they went on a run, we sustained and didn’t let them get too close,” she said. “Defense wins championships and I don’t think any of us would argue that. We didn’t let up any uncontested shots or any easy layups.”
2 FOR THE ROADLSRV boys, girls basketball teams bring home state titles
JOSHUA GORDON/DAILY PRESS
MILES ENGLEHART, a Little Snake River Valley School (Wyo.) senior shown above in a game earlier this season, scored 17 points Saturday against Burlington to help lead the LSRV boys varsity basketball team to a second consecutive state title. Head coach Paul Prestrud said the Rattlers’ 28-0 record and state title was in large part due to the play of Englehart and fellow seniors Rex Stanley and Daniel Wille.

Dear Annie: Six years ago, I divorced my alcoholic, worka-holic husband and became a single parent. My ex has regular visitation, but I am the one who
handles all the sick days, school conferences, injuries, etc. He never bothers. Shortly after the divorce, I had to take a job at a much lower sal-ary. There were times when I wondered how we would eat and stay warm.
When my ex married his third wife, he decided
my son didn’t need a bedroom at his place. His wife’s kids have three of the four bedrooms in their home, and my son sleeps on the couch when he visits.
Our son is an amazing boy. He recently was accepted into a pres-tigious magnet school for gifted kids. The problem is, although his tuition is paid for, there is a bill for room and board. When I brought this up with my ex, I was treated to a lecture about how the father of one of his wife’s chil-dren doesn’t pay child support, so he has been supporting him since she quit her job to be a stay-at-home mom. This is his excuse for not helping with our son’s schooling.
Annie, am I wrong to think he should be thinking first of his own child? Mind you, he still takes beachfront vacations with his wife and her kids. Why am I the one who makes all the sacrifices? He pays regular child support, and I am grateful, but it
doesn’t cover everything. Our son is extremely gifted, and I fear his gift won’t be nurtured in the local public high school, which has a terrible reputation. Even my ex agrees.
I finally got a raise, and I worry that my ex will try to have his support payments reduced. I have applied for financial aid for the school bill. Am I wrong to ask my ex for help, or am I just being a bitter ex-wife?
— Worn-Out MomDear Worn Out: Your son
is lucky to have such a loving mother as his advocate. There is a difference between the basics of what parents are obligated to do and the extra benefits that come from doing more.
It would be wonderful if your husband would help with the school bill, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have to. Your best approach would be to ask him sweetly, focusing on how this school could create a better future for his son. But we hope the financial aid package comes through.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Somewhere in Oregon,” who was upset that her husband wanted to put up his late wife’s old Christmas decorations. You gave her good advice, but I think you let her off too easily. Her behavior was selfish, and her insecurities are showing.
Our histories make us who we are. The holidays can be a tough time, and it’s not a stretch to think he may have been missing his first wife. If “Somewhere” can’t deal with that, maybe she could divorce and marry a 12-year-old. He should come with a pretty clean slate.
— Shaking My Head
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Co-workers are likely to follow your lead, so do your best to provide a good example. If things don’t go well, you should stop a minute and give others the know-how to make corrections.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you depart from prudent spending, you’ll watch your bank account disappear in two shakes. Get hold of yourself and put a stop to the insanity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Unfortunately, it isn’t likely that you’ll be able to keep your problems to a mini-mum, mostly due to you thinking that you can do what you want without any consequences.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Be careful if matters don’t go exactly as you think they should. To counteract an unexpected wrinkle, you could adopt an unwise strategy that would make matters much worse.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It would be sagacious to have someone check your work if what you’re doing involves a lot of facts and figures. A huge mistake could result from one tiny error.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — By deliber-ately acting in a manner that is diametri-cally opposed to persons who are trying to help you, you will only end up looking belligerent and ungrateful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’ve heard it before: “If you can’t say some-
thing nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.” This could be especially wise thinking when dealing with in-laws or other relatives.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t try to overpower people when trying to get them to accept your suggestions. If they don’t like your ideas, putting pres-sure on them would only make matters worse.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If the ideas you’re espousing happen to conflict with the plans of others, trying to get your way would only add more stress to the situation. It’s often wise to compromise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — In order to appease the demands of your associates, you might switch courses far too often to be effective. Making changes for change’s sake does nothing for nobody.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Doing something out of spite only makes matters worse for everyone, yourself included. In fact, such a move could eas-ily boomerang, with you getting caught in the crosshairs and ending up taking all the hits.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If it’s your responsibility to do something about a situation and it doesn’t go well, don’t attempt to point the finger of blame at another. Bite the bullet and cor-rect matters yourself.

JOSEY KING, a 13-year-old Craig Middle School seventh-grader, practices free throws Friday at CMS. King finished second in the Colorado state Elks Lodge Hoops Shoot tournament Feb. 25 in Salida after taking first place in the local and district stages.
BY JOSHUA GORDONDAILY PRESS WRITER
Josey King has earned a trip to the Colorado state Elks Lodge Hoop Shoot tourna-ment the last three years and four trips to state overall.
The Hoop Shoot competi-tion consists of two rounds of free throws, with each player taking 25 shots.
King, a 13-year-old Craig Middle School seventh-grad-er, competed in her last Hoop Shoot competition this year, taking first in the local tour-nament Dec. 17, 2011, at Sandrock Elementary School and first at the district tour-nament Jan. 15 in Rifle, her third straight first-place finish at districts.
And, in her final year, King finished second in the state
competition Feb. 25 in Salida.“It felt really good,” King
said of her finish. “I think I could have done a little better, but I am pretty proud because of all the girls who competed this year.”
More than 900 players start-ed out competing in the girls 12- and 13-year-old division at the local stage.
At the state level, six girls
vied for first place.King made 18 of 25 free
throws, falling short of the per-sonal best of 21 she posted at the local level this year.
King said she has played basketball for years, starting because her sister, Ashley, and father were interested in the game.
She began in the Craig Parks and Recreation league and cur-
rently plays for the CMS team.“I like how intense and unpre-
dictable a basketball game can be,” she said. “A game can change so fast and you have to be ready to adjust.”
The free throw competition, King said, helps her in a crucial part of the game.
“Free throws can be game-winning, and if you don’t make them, it could lose the game for your team,” she said. “Competing in the Hoops Shoot competitions helped

“Free throws can be game-winning, and if you don’t make them, it could lose the game for your team. Competing in the Hoops Shoot competitions helped with the pressure you feel at the free throw line, and in a big game I can go to the line
and not feel as nervous.”Josey King,

important free throws are in a basketball game
