HONORED

Honoring excellence in theaterEvening a chance to celebrate past year, look forwardBy Clarke [email protected]

Awards season is just getting started in Hollywood, but The Edge Theater celebrat-ed another season with its second annual Edgy Awards on Dec. 3.

Awards were given out for acting, set and sound design, and best productions, but the clear winner of the evening was the the-ater itself, which celebrated its second suc-cessful season, while looking to the future.

“I want to take the time to thank every-one who contributed to The Edge this year, and what a year,” said executive producer and artistic director Rick Yaconis, at the be-ginning of the evening. “We had 135 voters this year, from season ticket holders, Henry board members and members of the Edge’s board. Last year we had around 70 voters.”

One of the most successful things about The Edge is the community it has built, for actors, designers and playwrights, and that sentiment was shared by almost all of the winners of the evening’s awards.

Rebecca Morphis, winner of the best supporting actress award for her portrayal of Catherine in “A View From the Bridge,”

said that she was new to Denver and has been embraced by The Edge community.

“I was new and this has become my family,” she said after winning.

Paul Paige, who won the best actor award for the role of Shelley Levene in “Glengarry Glen Ross,” echoed those feel-ings, saying that he had not felt “so wel-comed and taken in by a theater company in my 25 years of working.”

The theater was also complimented for the roots it has set down in the community, which Yaconis hopes to augment in 2013.

The theater will be moving to a new lo-cation early in the year, Yaconis said the goal is to move to a space closer to the 40 West Art District, so it can be at the new center of Lakewood’s art scene.

“Our goals in 2013 are to enhance our board, enhance our staff and move to this bigger location,” Yaconis said.

Angela Astle, who won best director for “A View from the Bridge” and runs the theater’s On Your Feet Program, which de-velops local playwrights, summed up the evening the best.

“I’m so grateful that this place opened up, and so grateful so many of you have worked with me and trusted me,” she said.

Zoning update narrowly passesCouncil try to �nd balance in changeBy Clarke [email protected]

Lakewood City Council approved the up-dated zoning ordinance during the Dec. 10 regular council meeting with a 7-3 vote.

Opposing votes were cast by councilmen Pete Roybal, Ward 3, and David Wiechman, Ward 4, and Ward 1 councilwoman Ramey Johnson. The vote came after more than three-and-a-half hours of public testimony and more than an hour of debate and pro-posed changes by council members.

“Nothing on this level of complication is going to be perfect, but this is a very im-portant step forward,” said Ward 1 council-woman Karen Kellen. “Things about this document will have to change over time, but I think we have the big issues right.”

Residents from all over Lakewood came to voice their support and opposition to some of the changes proposed in the new ordinance, including allowing residents to own goats and chickens in smaller and du-plex lots with a special use permit.

In the end council decided to allow the animals in these areas, despite motions that were made to ban the animals and defeated by a majority vote.

Most residents who spoke approved of the zoning update as a whole, or in spirit, but had problems with specific areas, and a great many requested that council delay the vote to give people more time to familiarize themselves with all the consequences.

Roybal made a motion that the vote to be delayed until April 8, with Wiechman’s sup-port.

“I’m concerned that we produce the best product possible,” he said. “We’re trying to build community, and we need to ask our-selves if we’re doing something that will generate confidence in the community or hurt it? I don’t want people saying that it was rushed through.”

The motion was defeated because, ac-cording to its opponents, the project has al-ready been in the works for more than three years, which is the result of several exten-sions.

“The key issues continue to be the same, and to delay doesn’t buy us anything,” said Ward 2 councilwoman Cindy Baroway. “What we need to do is try to find a balance so we can all coexist in Lakewood.”

When it came time to vote, Wiechman wanted to abstain because he said he still had some concerns, but the city charter does not allow for abstention in votes.

Now that the zoning has passed, in Feb-ruary municipal code changes from the cur-rent code will be incorporated to the new zoning, and it will go into effect on April 1.

“We’ve been monitoring the current code for years, and we’ll start monitoring this new code from day one,” said Travis Parker, director of the Planning Department. “The plan is to have a discussion in six months about any problems and changes that we’ll need to make.”

Some crimes do harm to us allKimber Schneider, 42, mother of two,

can close her eyes and still see his face, the brown hair, the jean jacket.

Gene Martin. Last seen in August 1984 while delivering newspapers in Des Moines. Five days shy of his 14th birthday, he disappeared, never to be found. He rode the same school bus as Schneider, then in middle school.

“It has shaped how far I let my kids go out of my bubble,” she said. “And I didn’t think it would.”

But how could it not.One moment, a child is here, walking

to school, playing in the park, carefree, be-liever of good. The next instant: Vanished. Innocence lost. Trust — in the world — bro-ken.

For the family and friends left behind, the horror never ends. And in today’s world, it implants terror in the hearts and minds of parents everywhere.

As parents, where do we draw the line between fear and faith, protectiveness and independence? Where do we go when a child, like little Jessica Ridgeway, is ab-ducted on her way to school, then killed in a most terrible way?

We do what parents have always done. We grieve, because we can almost imagine what that loss would feel like. We worry, be-cause what if it happened to our child? We reassess parenting methods and teach vigi-lance better than before. And, we try to re-mind ourselves that good is more abundant than evil.

Fear cannot win.The black-and-white clarity of statistical

data also helps balance the tilting anxiety between possibility and probability.

Consider that the probability of a child being abducted by a stranger is about one in 650,000, slightly less than the odds of dying by fireworks discharge, said Dr. Kim Gor-gens, a clinical psychologist at the Universi-ty of Denver who teaches the psychology of criminal behavior. The numbers come from federal justice and health studies.

“Statistically speaking, kids are fairly safe, all things considered,” said Gorgens, who has an 11-year-old son. “The differ-

ence is the availability of media and infor-mation overload about safety risks.”

Google news alerts on the Internet. Ra-dio. TV. Text-message updates on phones. Facebook posts. The constant stream of news is inescapable when something bad happens today. The immediacy, in cases such as Jessica’s, overwhelmingly creates a sense that evil lurks in the corners and, even, wide-open spaces of communities we suddenly no longer consider safe.

Bad things have always happened.My neighbor remembers the sexual as-

sault of a classmate during his high school years in California more than 20 years ago. Schneider talks of another child kidnap-ping that happened in her husband’s home state of Minnesota in the 1980s. But instan-taneous cross-country knowledge didn’t ex-ist then to cast its fearful net over us.

My mother, who is 79, remembers only one child abduction incident being talked about during her youth — of famous avia-tor Charles Lindbergh’s baby in 1932, which actually occurred the year before she was born.

“Bad things happened,” she said. “Be-fore, we didn’t know of them.”

She does, however, add a caveat: The world today is a less friendly place, a more suspicious one in which scarier incidents occur more frequently than the world in which she grew up, or the world in which she raised her three kids.

Back then, the culture was different, less brutal violence in movies and video games. Boundaries were narrower and more re-spected; people paid attention to each oth-er more, relied on each other more.

My mother could call the telephone op-

erator to find out where I had wandered as I played with friends. “She’s over at the Lo-pez’s house,” the operator would tell her. The grapevine constantly chattered and watched.

Now we have Neighborhood Watches, which are highly successful crime preven-tion programs, according to Gorgens. They require an investment by neighbors to look out for one another, to care beyond their fences, to believe that what happens to someone else is their business, too.

If we operated in such a fashion all the time, could we keep our children safer?

A positive outcome, if it can be called that, of Jessica’s tragedy was a re-examina-tion of family safety policies.

“It’s like a call to arms for parents,” Gor-gens said. “Every parent evaluates their own procedures.”

The collateral damage, as Gorgens de-scribed it — a bruised perception of safety, the traumatic anguish — was more difficult to manage.

For many, a new reality exists.Kimber Schneider still sees Gene Mar-

tin’s face. When her kids complain they can’t walk somewhere alone, she is unyield-ing: “You have to be with someone. There are bad people in the world who do bad things and that’s why mommy is really care-ful about where you are. … People will take you. People take kids all the time and don’t think that just because you live where you

live that it’s not going to happen, because it can happen anywhere.”

They take her warning in stride, she said. Just a matter-of-fact part of life.

Like our parents before us, we tell our children not to talk to strangers. We teach them how to cross a street. But we have added to the precautionary list: Always walk with a buddy, even to a restaurant bathroom. Call as soon as you get to your destination, even if it’s just around the cor-ner. Park in well-lit areas, even if the area is crowded. Learn self-defense, even if you think you’ll never need it.

We do our best to prepare them to know how to be safe. Because, as my mother said, one day, “like all good parents, you have to let go.”

Gorgens offers this to think about: “When you have a quiet moment and your fear starts to unravel you, consider what’s the likelihood I’m going to face that prob-lem? Have I done everything possible to protect myself?”

That’s all, really, that we can do.That, and continue to believe in good-

ness — and make it our business to look out for one another.

Especially the children.

Digitizing, preserving history Website lets listeners hear oral history of regionBy Clarke [email protected]

There is a lot of history kept alive by Lakewood residents, and Jefferson County Public Libraries are helping preserve it with its Jeffco Stories oral history project.

The Jeffco Libraries have part-nered with the Lakewood Histor-ical Society to digitize and make available to the public the collec-tion of oral history tapes online.

“The Historical Society has been doing oral histories for 15 to 20 years and we have between 35 to 40 accumulated tapes,” said Marian Metsopoulos, president of the Society.

“The library had just started this program about a year ago, and I contacted them to see if they’d be interested in the tapes.”

Metsopoulos said digitizing the tapes was expensive, but the Society was able to help fund the project to get the tapes online.

Some of the people who gave interviews include David and Rita Peterson, who talk about the history of the Lakewood Fire Department, Bernie and Susan Goldman, who discuss the pres-ervation of the Jewish Consump-tive’s Relief Society’s synagogue and Bob Collins, founder of COBE Laboratories. The library have been working with other areas — like the Jeffco Historical Commission — but are looking to expand and get more people to participate.

“We felt this was something that would be really interesting to the community,” said Cindy Phillips, online and outreach li-brary manager.

“We create new interviews and help people with digitizing old ones.”

The library has a list of people

who have volunteered to be re-corded telling their stories, and volunteers are sent out to inter-view them for this project. They also go to events like dedications and memorials to see if people are interested in being recorded.

“With the changing of tech-nology, we want to preserve these stories,” Phillips said. “It’s a lot of fun and there are a lot of interest-ing stories out there.”

Metsopoulos said that prior to this project, the tapes had just been sitting in a drawer, but that she always knew it was impor-tant to keep them.

“There is one tap where Rob-ert Richard Wright describes his experiences on D-Day, and I could just visualize it based on what he was saying,” she said. “It’s so wonderful to have these recordings for others to hear.”

Drug ring targetedBy Glenn [email protected]

Authorities in Jefferson County broke up a major cocaine and methamphetamine interstate dis-tribution ring.

Nicknamed “Operation Blood Sport” because several of the sus-pects were believed to be involved in cock fighting, authorities called the arrests and drug seizures made so far in the investigation “a major dent” to the drug trade in the Den-ver metro area.

“This was a major drug smug-gling ring brought down with the cooperation of multiple law en-forcement agencies,” Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink said at press conference held Monday.

At the press conference, First Judicial District Attorney Scott Storey revealed details of the Nov. 30 grand jury indictment that in-cluded 49 counts against 16 in-

dividuals. Ten are in custody on charges of distribution of a con-trolled substance, conspiracy to distribute, and money laundering.

Investigators found evidence of interstate drug smuggling, cocaine arriving from California, and meth from Arizona. In the course of their investigation authorities say they found $21,500 in drug pro-ceeds, two kilograms of cocaine, and 12 pounds of meth (hidden in the engine of an SUV). Authorities believe the suspects also partici-pated in cockfighting. DEA Special Agent in Charge Barbra Roach said additional charges regarding cock-fighting could be forthcoming.

Authorities are seeking six more people who are named in the indictment: Francisco Leon, 22; Homero Reynosa-Cardenas, 21; Francisco M. Barragan a.k.a. Chapetes, 26; Jesse Rubio a.k.a. Chapito, 24; Manuel Eduardo Carrola-Hernandez a.k.a. Antho-ny Castro a.k.a. Trompis, 25; and Oswaldo Rodriguez-Sanchez, 33.

Toys collected for causeToy drive and beer featured at the Golden HotelBy Glenn [email protected]

Good beer, good food and … a lot of toys?

Those were the ingredi-ents that went into a spe-cial beer-pairing dinner at

the Golden Hotel’s Bridge-water Grill Dec. 5.

About 75 guests at-tended the dinner, which featured the beers of AC Golden, Ska Brewing, Arvada Beer Company, Strange Brewing and Boul-der Beer.

Many of those guests brought presents with them to donate to the Golden Rotary Club’s holi-day toy drive. The hotel matched the toy dona-

tions, present-for-present. The Boulder-based

Faurot Construction also pledged to donate a toy for every two received.

At the end of the night, hotel spokeswoman Renee Rinehimer said 250 toys had been pledged to Gold-en Rotary.

Kelly and Cary Floyd of Arvada Beer Company said they were excited to participate in the eve-ning’s toy drive, pouring their Grandview Pils.

“We said definitely, sign us up!” Kelly Floyd said.

Arvada Beer Company participated in Colorado Gives Day that same week, raising $20,000 for local charities and programs.

“The community sup-ports us, so we definitely want to support it,” said Cary Floyd.

This year, diners at the Bridgewater Grill have had the chance to find out just what beer can do for food, with a monthly series of beer-tasting dinners, titled

the Colorado Beer Tour. Each dinner featured a dif-ferent Colorado brewery. For the end-of-the-year dinner, the Golden Hotel invited some of the most popular breweries of the beer tour to return, and bring some of their more festive, holiday-inspired brews along.

“This meal’s a lot more difficult than most. There’s a lot of seasonal flavors,” said Bridgewater Grill Chef David Davis.

Davis’s menu included a beer-braised pork sau-sage with beer mustard, and a coulotte steak and roasted vegetables in a Boulder Beer Company Never Summer Ale maple glaze. The dessert of cin-namon apple bread pud-ding paired with Strange Brewing’s Gingerbread Ale.

Details about the 2013 Colorado Beer Tour are available at www.face-book.com/ColoradoBeer-Tour.

Santa Shop keeps holiday spending safe Annual event helps parents with gi� s By Clarke Reader [email protected]

The Action Center’s annual Santa Shop helps Jeffco’s parents get what they need for their families without breaking the bank or causing any fi -nancial problems down the line.

The Shop is running through Saturday at 1545 Quail St. in Lake-wood.

“Our Santa Shop is one of our key seasonal programs that we’ve had for many years now,” said Joe Haines, director of development at the Action Center. “We try to help keep families stable, while making sure the kids have a Christmas ex-perience.”

The Santa Shop is one of the cen-ter’s seasonal prevention programs — along with its school supply drive and Thanksgiving food distribution — which aims to provide people with assistance during expensive times of year.

The center is a nonprofi t organi-zation that helps people in Jefferson County with basic needs.

Haines said that many parents’ desire to give their children the best Christmas possible can lead to overspending and deciding to spend less on food or not pay their electric bills or rent. Once this hap-pens, it can be diffi cult to catch up on bills.

According to Haines, the center expects to help parents fi nd toys for 4,000 to 5,000 children this year, which requires around 9,000 toys for newborns to 12 years.

“Most families will get three or four smaller toys for younger kids and two or three for the older kids,” Haines said. “To keep stock up we work diligently to make sure we have toys for the entire week.”

Toy donations are taken year-round, and this time of year any toys donated are taken right out to the Shop, so there is a good and new selection for every day of the week.

According to information pro-vided by Computer Sites — a Colo-rado company that designs custom data centers — the company has been working closely with the Ac-tion Center for more than three years, and does a companywide toy drive for the center.

Computer Sites aims to get some more expensive gifts that individu-als aren’t able to donate, and that includes 10 bikes that get donated

to the center.One of the things about the

Santa Shop that the Action Center prides itself on is the ability to keep parents’ self-esteem intact through-out the process.

“We want to make sure kids have a great Christmas, but we also want to maintain the parent’s dignity,” Haines said. “We don’t want the parents to say the toys came from the center, but tell the kids they came from Santa.”

The Santa Shop will be open on Friday and Saturday for those who qualify. Those interested must go to the Action Center to register, and bring a photo ID, proof of residence and birth certifi cate for each child.

For more information, call 303-237-7704 or visit www.theaction-centerco.org.

6 Lakewood Sentinel December 13, 20126-OPINION

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Don’t let the locals fall o� the cli�There is little time left before the na-

tion hits the so-called “fiscal cliff.” President Obama and the lame-duck

Congress have an unprecedented number of issues to address — including some that directly affect every city, town, special district, county and school district in Colorado — and every Colorado taxpayer.

When they met right after the elec-tion, Obama and bipartisan congressional leaders agreed to a framework for deficit reduction that includes both revenue increases and spending cuts.

They will continue to flesh out this agreement over the next few weeks — but no state or local elected leaders will be at the table.

Their decisions to cut federal funds for education, highways, clean water, safe drinking water, housing and community development leave us only to ponder by how much.

And even more important to the long-term fiscal future of state and local gov-ernments, these federal decisions could also sharply increase the costs for vital public improvements such as schools,

roads, sewer systems, bridges and fire stations.

Here’s how that could happen.Obama and the leaders of Congress

seem to agree that additional federal revenues must be part of any agreement to avert the cliff and to put the U.S. on a more sustainable budget path.

It appears certain that Congress will go after what are called federal tax expen-ditures — the largest and fastest growing part of the federal government’s budget.

This could cover income tax deduc-tions like mortgage interest, employer-sponsored health insurance, and chari-

table contributions. Also, according to various congres-

sional study groups, it might also include municipal bonds.

Under current law, Colorado does not tax the interest earned by any family or corporation in Colorado from U.S. Trea-sury bonds. Similarly, since 1913, when the income tax code was first adopted, the federal government has never taxed the interest earned on a bond issued by a state, a university or by any local govern-ment; hence the term “tax exempt bond.”

If Congress suddenly changes this equation and eliminates the municipal bond interest exemption, the borrowing costs of local governments will go up, thereby placing more of a burden onto local taxpayers.

On Nov. 6, the overwhelming number of debt questions put forward by lo-cal officials to build new schools, repair city streets and build new water treat-ment plants received approval by voters throughout Colorado’s communities.

According to national statistics, state and local governments now shoulder over

75 percent of the costs of financing the nation’s public infrastructure.

Last year, the country’s state and local governments issued nearly $300 billion in long-term bonds to finance essential capital investment — 47 percent alone went for public education and 21 percent for transportation.

We respectfully urge Colorado’s con-gressional delegation, individuals we know to have the very best interests of our state and nation at heart, to remember that their decisions and those of their colleagues over the weeks ahead could have profound impacts on state and local leaders here at home in Colorado.

Don’t let the locals fall off this cliff.

Delusions help us forget about realities of the worldIs there anything so sad as watching

somebody suddenly be confronted with their own delusions?

I was thinking about this the other day as I was following the debacle that has become the search for a new head football coach for the University of Colo-rado.

How else do you explain that CU ap-proaches the coach of a school from a lesser conference, offers him a substan-tial payraise and on paper articulate its intention to significantly upgrade the facilities at the university, and yet, he says “no”?

There was a time when CU was a great destination for a football coach.

CU could approach somebody from another major college program, a program that had enjoyed success, and entice him to come to Boulder.

It happened with Gary Barnett, and it happened again with Dan Hawkins.

But not so much any more. And yet, if you watch how the ad-

ministration at CU has approached this coach’s search, in every aspect from the high bar Athletic Director Mike Bohn set for the qualifications, to the media leaks, to the sort of myopic arrogance of only going after one candidate, you would

think CU was still a “plum” job. Kinda hard to imagine in the same

week that one sports publication listed CU as No. 114 in it’s power rankings of the 132 top-tier football programs in the country.

Sometimes, the delusions that we build up are like a defense mechanism — we put them in place to insulate our-selves from doubters and naysayers, from the people who would rather see us fail than wonder why they haven’t succeeded more.

But more often than not, those delu-sions are just a willing departure from the realities of the world around us, and those can be dangerous.

I remember shortly after the Colum-bine massacre, we teachers went through

a number of training sessions on bullying and school violence.

One snippet really stuck with me: The student who has a ridiculously inflated estimation of their own abilities is far more likely to become violent if that delusion is suddenly punctured.

In other words, when some kid’s over-size bubble bursts, sometimes it sprays violent shrapnel.

Of course, the same thing could be said of many aspects of life, without the dramatic violence.

When the ridiculously over-inflated pricing of homes suddenly was confront-ed with reality, it almost collapsed the entire financial system.

And in more trivial terms, think of the delusional mystique that got built around the Denver Broncos last year, especially after the playoff win against Pittsburgh — how much harder did that make it to watch New England dismantle the Broncos?

Confronting reality is sometimes a difficult and painful thing, especially for a generation that has been raised to think that participation awards are as good as achievement awards, and that everybody gets a trophy regardless of whether they contributed.

Luckily, as any guy knows, there is no more effective cure for self-deluding behaviors as a wife; but, short of that, it really points to the importance of having people in your life who are honest with you and who aren’t afraid to call you on your own garbage.

And sometimes, that’s going to mean starting all over from square one, re-building the reality you want through actual achievements and industry.

And that’s OK. If I recall correctly, once upon a time,

CU needed a reality check and went and hired a little-known assistant coach named Bill McCartney.

That seems to have worked out pretty well for CU in the 1980s and 1990s, and a similar “reset” may be just what the doc-tor ordered.

If Mike Bohn and the rest of the ad-ministration in Boulder is willing to take their medicine.

Learning Source names new director By Clarke Reader [email protected]

The Learning Source for Adults and Families has hired Joshua Evans as its executive director.

Evans has more than 12 years in a variety of adult education areas, and was an adjunct professor at Arapahoe Community College and the adult education coordinator at the Com-munity College of Aurora before tak-ing his new position.

The Learning Source was created in 1964 at 455 S. Pierce in Lakewood

to help educate metro adults and families through a variety of 29 pro-grams, from English language classes to family literacy programs.

Evans said that adult education is a big part of the economy, especially since it helps people to fi nd better jobs.

“We’re all looking to do a great job with the programs we have, and we’re going to be looking to expand some initiatives in the coming months,” he said. The organization operates at 23 locations throughout the metro area.

According to Jim Spoja, president of the Learning Source’s board, the

process that Evans had to go through was extensive, including meeting with several committees before being approved by the board.

On one of the committees Evans met Sister Cecilia Linenbrink, who founded the organization.

“As the executive director, (Evans) will be managing our programs fi -nancially and managing employees,” Spoja said. “He’ll also be working on grants and contracts with our part-ners.”

For more information on the Learning Source, visit www.colorado-literacy.org.

Don’t be shy about spreading good word Who do you know? I

mean who do you know that you would feel really good about recommend-ing or providing a referral for?

What if I asked it a dif-ferent way?

What if the question was this, who knows you and who would feel really good about giving you a referral or recommending you as a friend, or for a job, or to join a committee?

You see, network-ing happens all the time, whether we do it con-sciously, unconsciously, or subconsciously, we have an opportunity to participate at many levels.

I can share with you that many years ago, when I had my fi rst big opportunity to join a company, the differ-ence maker between why I was hired and beat out the other few fi nalists was because of the letters of recommendation that were sent on my behalf.

They were so strong that the hiring manager almost couldn’t believe it.

But after following up and speaking directly to the people who endorsed me, the hiring manager became convinced that I was the right candidate and offered

me the position.Facebook and LinkedIn

have helped me to recon-nect with so many people.

Some folks that I grew up with and went to school with, others that I served with in the military, and many people that I have worked with or had an opportunity to know pro-fessionally. Social media is awesome in that way, connecting us with people from our past as well as our present. But even without the help of such enabling technology, we still have our immediate circle of friends, family, co-workers and associates that help us and who we should be will-ing to help as much as we possibly can.

Just think of all of the wrapping paper, Girl Scout cookies, popcorn or gift cards you have purchased from a neighbors child.

If you are like me, you just can’t say “no.”

If we took this same concept just one or two steps farther, we should be asking ourselves things like, “If I am going to buy a car I will buy it from that guy I went to high school with who is

now selling cars.” Or “If my spouse and I

are going to dinner, why wouldn’t I go to that res-taurant that my neighbors own and maybe where my other friend’s daughter is a server?”

I am not sure about you, but I love referring people, connecting people or businesses, and making recommendations or refer-ring anyone and everyone I know to people and com-panies that I can trust and who I know will deliver a better than good result.

Many of my friends and family members work for big corporations, and I am grateful for the work that they do and all the people that they serve.

But I must share with you that my heart goes out to the entrepreneur or small business owner and their staff.

One day, and maybe one day soon, you will fi nd

yourself in a position to recommend someone, refer people to a business, or network with folks where you can help connect the dots between two people or businesses.

And you may just even fi nd that when you are the consumer, when you do everything you possibly can to shop where your friends and neighbors are trying so hard to build their busi-ness, that you will not only be helping them, but you will truly be enriching your own life as well.

I am not sure about you, but I am going to go the extra mile in seeking out my connections and see if I can make a purchase, give them a recommendation, provide a referral, or help them network.

And I would love to hear all about your thoughts at [email protected] be-cause when we all do lock arms and help one another, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton, a resident of Highlands Ranch, is the former president of the Zig Ziglar organization and CEO and founder of www.candogo.com

Celebrate the Holidays

By Sandi [email protected]

Just who is this jolly old man that everyone’s talk-ing about this time each year? Miss Starr’s Rock Stars, also known as her second-graders at Camp-bell Elementary School in Arvada, sat down with me for an in-depth look into this man’s life, family and the huge job he has to do on Christmas Eve.

Santa Claus is a friend-ly, helpful and loveable 59-year-old man who lives at the North Pole with his wife Santy, also 59, and 150 children, also known

as Santa’s elves. It’s very cold where they live, but Mr. and Mrs. Claus live on a warm party boat with a roof to keep out the weather. The boat is tied to a knob on the land – not far from where Santa’s reindeer live.

Santa wears a red suit and has a fat jacket with fl uffy white collar and wrists. His jacket is armed with magic feathers and pixie dust to help him get around the world.

The elves wear green like Batman and have red pants. They have pointy ears that stick out from under their green hats, and their shoes have

pointy toes. They all look like little cartoon charac-ters.

The other important members of Santa’s family are his reindeer – Blitzen, Comet, Dasher, Dancer, Rudolph, Prancer, Cupid, Donner and Vixen. Be-cause Rudolph has a big glowing nose, he gets to be the leader on Christmas Eve.

Santa and his elves work hard all year making toys in their workshop. Most of the toys are made of wood and are for the kids, not the grownups. The elves make utensils for the parents.

Before the big trip around the world, the

reindeer load up on fi sh and carrots for good eye-sight. After all, Christmas Eve is the darkest night of the year.

Just before the trip, the elves start packing Santa’s sleigh, which is green with gold swirls. It’s known to be a magic sleigh made of wood and equipped with headlights and metal skis underneath. Since there is no radio on board, Santa listens to his music with an iPod.

The sleigh travels at 12 miles per hour for the 10-hour trip around the world. If it begins to get light outside while Santa is still out and about, there is a time bubble on the sleigh that can freeze time and let Santa fi nish up without being seen. He fl ies over houses and drops the pres-ents into the chimneys. If a house doesn’t have a chimney, Santa uses his magic dust.

One might ask how Santa knows who’s been naughty and who’s been nice.

Well, Miss Starr’s Rock Stars have the answer to that question. The elves are the ones who let Santa know. They check two machines – one has names of nice children and the other has names of the children who’ve been naughty. The data is received with the help of invisible cameras that can

see us at all times. A back-up method is a pointer gun that can tell the per-centage of good and bad in each child it points to. Santa then puts all the names into a giant book that he uses as a reference while he travels around the world.

Someone who isn’t men-tioned at Christmas is Santa’s evil brother – Bad Santa – who lives at the South Pole.

Make wrapping gifts more fun this holiday season. Get your supplies ready, invite some friends and turn up the holiday music.

Before you get started, here are some creative gift wrapping tips from popular crafting blogger, Cindy Hop-per, founder of SkipToMy-Lou.org.

“I love wrapping holiday gifts - from little treasures like Dunkin’ Donuts(R) sea-sonal packaged coffee to bigger presents like kids’ toys and electronics - in unexpected and creative ways,” says Hopper. “You don’t need a lot of money, just some motivation and imagination, to create pack-aging that will make any gift recipient smile.”

• A touch of fun - Make packaging playful by adding

a small toy like a jump rope as ribbon or jingle bells to the top of the gift.

• Tie two together- Have the gift and its wrapping complement one another. Place a bag of new Dunkin’ Donuts Gingerbread Cookie packaged coffee in a cookie jar. Present the Pumpkin Spice variety in a basket of mini-pumpkins, or serve Mocha Mint with a favorite chocolate bar.

• Keep a cushion - Replace packing peanuts with color-ful tissue paper, blown up balloons or even wrapped candies, to create an eye-catching display when re-cipients open their package.

• Wrap it up - Instead of purchasing wrapping paper, see what’s available at home to use. Newspaper comics, wallpaper scraps or even

pages from an old atlas or map make memorable gift wrap.

• Look to nature- Add a fresh fl ower, pretty shell or sprig of mistletoe for an ele-gant, outdoor element to any holiday gift.

• Contain yourself - Instead of the standard cardboard box, house gifts in decorative tins, hat boxes or fruit crates for a clever presentation.

• Two in one - If gifting sea-sonal food or beverages, pair the gift with serving items. For example, offer Dunkin’ Donuts packaged coffee in a mug, or wrap the package with a ribbon attached to a coffee scoop.

• Tag, you’re it- Focus on the gift tag. Use unusual items like recipe cards, lug-gage tags or coasters to iden-tify gift recipients.

• Stamp it out - View plain wrapping paper as a canvas by covering it with a unique pattern of colorful rubber stamp prints.

• Monogram madness - Personalize presents by in-cluding the recipients’ ini-tials on the wrapping. Write their initials all over the pa-per or affi x cut out letters or cookie cutters in their initials as tags.

Where were you born?I was born in Michigan. My husband and I moved to the Colorado in 1987.

What do you like the most about it?I love how close Golden is to the Denver Metro area yet we are still able to enjoy all that the Rocky Mountains have to o� er my family and clients.

How long have you been in Real Estate and what is your specialty, what does it mean to the people I work with?I bought my � rst home when I was 21 years old. My husband and I have had rental properties since 2001. I have been a Realtor for just over 3 years. Mov-ing my career into buying and selling homes was just a natural. My business partner, Brian Quarnstrom and I have an of-� ce in downtown Golden and just love the people aspect of this pro-fession. I think coming from a service-oriented job as a cer-ti� ed dental assistant, has

been extremely helpful. Our specialty is helping our clients buy and sell residential real estate. Additionally, we have our niche in the Golden foothills, dealing with acreages, wells and septic systems.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?Time management! When you want so much to make you clients’ dreams come true, it is hard to turn o� the phone and not make this a 24/7 job.

What do you enjoy most when you are not working?My family has to be the most important focus of my life.

Spending time with my husband, cooking fam-ily dinners and just hanging out with my

children. I also love to read and volun-teer.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a home?Preparation is key! Have a market analysis done on your home so it is priced right. � en have a professional stager come in prior to listing to add that “edge.” Presenting your home in the best condition possible. Another selling point is to have a pre-market inspection to help ward o� many surprises. Do home maintenance and repairs prior to showing your home to potential buyers. Make your home shine!

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?Make a list of your must haves, wants and would be nice to have. And of course, talk to a lender and get pre-quali� ed prior to starting your home search.

What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in real estate?Probably, the most unusual thing was getting a phone call from a long time tenant of mine asking me to help her � nd a

home to buy. It was so much fun taking her out looking at homes.

home to buy. It was so much fun taking her out looking at homes.


T here is no denying the profound impact that the recession has

had on the real estate indus-try. For the last several years, the real estate market went from booming to one char-acterized by homes sitting on the market for months on end. New home sales also have been conservative, and builders are cutting back on some o� erings that were once commonplace.

� e National Association for Realtors says that, de-spite � oundering sales, there are fewer foreclosed homes available now than in recent years. Distressed homes -- foreclosures and short sales sold at deep discounts -- ac-counted for 25 percent of homes sales in May of 2012. � at � gure is down from 28 percent in April and 31 per-cent in May of 2011.

While home sales have in-creased, money is still tight in the building industry and among home buyers. As such, instead of over-the-top fea-

tures in homes that were once becoming the norm, builders are now focusing on more value-conscious designs and o� erings. � e list of add-ons also has been reduced.

So what can buyers expect to live without when buying a newly constructed home? Here are a few of the com-mon features that are falling by the wayside.

Sunrooms: Once bringing in the outside had a strong, loy-al following, but now build-ers are focusing on home fea-tures that immediately add value and attract the buyer’s

eye. � erefore, they’re put-ting their resources into lin-en closets and laundry rooms while de-emphasizing sun-rooms.Extended ceiling heights: It can take a lot of energy to heat rooms with 15-foot ceil-ings. As a result, grandiose family rooms and two-story foyers are less attractive to buyers focused on saving money. Homeowners want spaces that are easier to heat and cool.Luxury bathrooms: Many private residence luxury bathrooms rival those found at popular 4-star hotels. But luxury bathrooms are being phased out in favor of less expensive, more practical options.Outdoor kitchens: Although entertaining at home is one way to keep budgets in check, some homeowners have real-ized they don’t need a com-plete backyard kitchen with a pizza oven and brick � re-place in order to host guests. According to a survey from

the National Association of Home Builders, outdoor kitchens are the second least-likely feature to be included in homes built in 2012.Media rooms: Individuals certainly love their gadgets, but many of these gadgets have become smaller and more portable. � at reduces the need for giant home the-aters and gaming spaces.

While certain features are disappearing, there are oth-ers that are growing more and more popular. Dual sinks in kitchens, walk-in closets, extra storage areas, and hidden charging stations for devices are likely to show up more and more in new home designs.

� e design of new homes is changing to be more bud-get-friendly and also repre-sent the changing priorities of home buyers. As a re-sult, today’s newly designed homes will likely look much di� erent from homes built just a few years ago. ❑

JEFFCO NEWS IN A HURRY

Accused impersonatorpleads ‘not guilty’

A man accused of pos-ing as a fi refi ghter dur-ing the Lower North Fork Fire, and later the High Park Fire, was in Jefferson County court last week to plead “not guilty” to charges of criminal imper-sonation, impersonating a public servant and felony

theft. Michael Maher, 31, was arrested for imperson-ating a fi refi ghter at the High Park Fire in Larimer County earlier this year.

During the investiga-tion, several pieces of fi refi ghter-issued equip-ment from the Jeffco fi re in March and the Lower North Fork Fire were found in Maher’s possession

including a portable radio and chainsaw.

An April 2 jury trial was scheduled for Maher.

Amateur boxing for kidsBoxing for Christmas

Crusade is an amateur boxing event on Saturday to benefi t an annual toy drive sponsored by 98.5 KYGO to help Jefferson

County law enforcement offi cers deliver toys to children.

The Denver Police Brotherhood Youth Boxing organization is present-ing the boxing event at the Jefferson County Fair-grounds, with doors open-ing at 3 p.m. and the fi ghts starting at 4 p.m.

Tickets are $10, and free for fi ve and younger. Tickets are available at the door, or at Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit Union locations, www.rmlefcu.org, 303-458-6660.

Funds raised for Christ-

mas Crusade will help law enforcement offi cers de-liver toys to the homes of families and children that they see could use a little extra cheer this holiday season.

To donate directly to Christmas Crusade, donors can bring toys to Crusade headquarters at 7075 W. Hampden Ave. in Lake-wood.

Heroine dealer arrestsLast week the West

Metro Drug Task Force used an undercover opera-tion to make four arrests of suspected heroine dealers.

The task force an-nounced the seizure of four ounces of heroin, individually packaged in 220 sellable balloons.

Detectives also seized about $4,000 in cash and one vehicle.

The suspects are Honduran and Mexican Nationals and all are cur-rently in custody at the Jefferson County Jail.

All four suspects face numerous felonies, including Distribution of Controlled Substances and Possession with Intent to Distribute Controlled Substances.

Holiday market brings winter wonderlandShow features variety of wares, moods to fit the seasonBy Clarke [email protected]

The Foothills Art Center is taking the “winter wonderland” from song and bringing it to life with its 38th annual

holiday market.The market runs until Dec. 30 at the

center, 809 15th St. in Golden, and features more than 100 local artists displaying their hand-crafted work.

“We have every medium here, and some people wouldn’t even think of,” said Reilly Sanborn, executive director for the center. “Things like jewelry and crafts to wood-carved dog beds.”

The market is a juried exhibition, with artists contributing from as far away as Grand Junction and La Veta, but most are

from Jefferson County, according to San-born.

“Some artists live so close they can lit-erally walk their work to the gallery,” said Pam Fortner, who manages the market with Mary Beth Beach. “I think the jury did a great job selecting a wide variety of work that will appeal to a lot of people. There are a lot of options and price points for ev-eryone.”

Sanborn said one of the best things about the market being local is that it al-lows people to not only support artists, but Golden as well.

“It’s part of our mission to support Col-orado artists, and the sales tax go back to Golden, and we’re very proud of that,” she said.

While the items for sale are certainly the major draw of the market, Fortner and those she works with put a lot of time and imagination into creating a different deco-ration theme every year.

This year’s theme is a winter won-derland, and Fortner and her team have spread out more than 500 cellophane flow-ers in wintry colors — white, cranberry red

and lavender — throughout the gallery to bring that wonder to shoppers.

“This way we make it fun for people to just come and see, and it’s also fun to shop in,” she said.

Market shoppers will have no shortage of gifts and goods to delight them.

Sanborn said the market sells food items like toffee and homemade jams that sell out every year.

There are also the more traditional gifts like jewelry, which Fortner said is one of the market’s most popular areas.

“We have some wonderful glass artists with works that are both functional and gorgeous,” she said. “We also have some great fiber gifts — some great hats, scarves and jackets. Anyone with a taste for finely crafted clothing will find something here.”

Fortner also added that she asked all artists to contribute at least one hand-made ornament, and the results are six-trees worth of ornaments for shoppers.

Shoppers who come late to the market don’t need to worry about everything be-ing picked-over.

As work sells, the artists are informed, so they can bring more inventory or new items to fill the space.

“Our shoppers can find high-quality, hand-crafted, nice gifts any time, and they’re likely to see something new every time,” Fortner said.

For more information on the market, call 303-279-3922 or visit www.foothill-sartcenter.org.

Meals go mile high

The Colorado Convention Center is stepping up its cuisine scene to incor-porate Colorado-produced eats into its concession stands.

Centerplate, the Convention Center’s official caterer, has brought in Colorado suppliers such as Polidori Sausage, Con-tinental Sausage, produce from Blue Bear Farm (Centerplate’s 5,000-square-foot urban garden), along with grass-fed beef burgers from TAG chef/owner Troy Guard, to up its good-grub game to ap-peal to conventioneers who bring in mil-lions of dollars annually to support our economy.

“We started this project in February by talking to talents in the country using local products and bringing authentic Colorado (cuisine) to the Convention Center,” said Laurence Rua, Center-plate’s regional vice president, during a press lunch last week.

All 14 of the Convention Center con-cessions are now sending a clear Colo-rado cuisine message to visitors.

“We’re designing food not just to eat, we’re designing food … to say welcome to Colorado, which is our theme of the redesign of the food program,” said John Sergi, Centerplate’s chief design officer.

QR codes on concession stand signs connect with the www.visitdenver.com website to take viewers to see other eat-eries around town where out-of-towners can dine.

Other chef consultants who were brought into the program’s redesign were Roberto Santibanez, a New York restaurateur and author of “Truly Mexi-can,” who created tortas and tacos using local ingredients, and Italian expert Bill Pustari from New Haven, Conn., who created pizzas using seasonal vegetables and locally sourced meats.

The public is invited to try out the new food program whenever the Con-vention Center is open.

Spoiler alertIf you haven’t watched your recorded

version of Wednesday’s “Top Chef” series on Bravo, don’t read this.

Denver’s Tyler Wiard, exec chef of El-way’s steakhouse, was told to “pack his knives and go” after he was paired up with CJ, one of the show’s past chef-tes-tants, after the reluctant duo bummed out the judges with a badly executed pork burger.

But don’t count Wiard down and out quite yet. Bravo continues the contest with “Last Chance Kitchen”, a web-only battle by the ousted chefs to win a place back on the big show.

On this week’s webcast, Wiard and CJ were again paired (to their amusement and chagrin) and challenged to make a dessert in competition against reigning “Last Chance Kitchen” champ Kuniko Yagi.

Chef/judge Tom Colicchio declared the pair the winners of the dessert chal-lenge for their cherry fritters and hay (yes, you read that right) ice cream. So they will move on to face the next ousted “Top Chef” contender.

Local market brings favorite dishes home European classics made healthy and hearty By Clarke Reader [email protected]

The Homemade European Foods mar-ket and restaurant offers a taste of home for those with a European palate.

The owner and chef of Foods, 1070 S. Union Blvd., Teresa Weissfeld, is able to cre-ate authentic Polish-German dishes and sell ingredients for all kinds of European cook-ing because she grew up in Germany.

Teresa, who is half Polish and half Ger-man, came to the U.S. 20 years ago with her husband, Henry, and got her start in the food business doing catering work.

“I’ve been cooking my entire life, and sometimes I spend nearly 20 hours a day cooking,” she said. “We’ve been here for two years, and I love that I have my own kitchen to work with.”

The shop features traditional German Eastern European dishes like hunter stew, schnitzel, borscht and bierocks, all of which Teresa makes herself.

What makes these dishes special is that many of them are gluten free and vegetarian.Jennifer Rogers is the only other employee aside from Teresa and Henry at Foods. She

said she became interested in working there because she is a fi rst-generation American whose parents are both German, and she missed the tastes of her childhood.

“This is all stuff I had growing up,” she said. “The best part is we get people in here who say, ‘My grandma used to make it just like this.’”

Rogers said Homemade European Foods is the only market of its kind in the city.

Shoppers can fi nd imported jellies, spaet-zle and homemade sauerkraut, in addition to the dishes that Teresa cooks, which can be taken home and heated up.

For the holiday season the market has some special marzipan and gingerbread items for sale. Rogers said that while many of the shoppers at the market are families with European backgrounds, they have a steady group of servicemen and women who spent time stationed in Germany and are looking for the food they ate while they were there.

For Teresa, the goal of Homemade Euro-pean Foods is to provide a niche for those with a hankering for their favorite, tradition-al foods.

“People are looking for food like this, and you can’t buy it at any place like King Soop-ers or Safeway,” she said.

Meet the parentsFormer Broncos quarter-

back Tim Tebow is making hay in the New York gossip columns with a much higher completion rate than he ever had during his short stint here.

The New York Jets backup QB apparently has intro-duced actress girlfriend Ca-milla Belle to his parents, and “mom and dad approve,” ac-cording to an item last week in the New York Post’s Page Six column, which credits In Touch magazine for the initial report.

“His mom, Pam, likes that Camilla comes from a strict Catholic family, and loves that she does so much work with a children’s charity,” Page Six said, quoting an In Touch source. “Pam thinks Camilla could be the girl Tim has been waiting for!”

Pomona fl exes its muscles Top-ranked Panthers collect 10 pins in rout of Bears By Daniel Williams [email protected]

LAKEWOOD - Pomona wrestling showed exactly why it is the No. 1 ranked team in 5A with a dominant dual meet vic-tory at Bear Creek last Thursday.

Pomona used 10 pins and a 63-9 team score to beat the Bears in their gym, domi-nating in nearly every weight class.

“Bear Creek has some good young tal-ent but our guys were just really good and on top of their game,” Pomona coach Sam Federico said. “From top to bottom we are just a very good team this year. You have to give our kids the credit.”

Pomona opened the meet with their smallest wrestler Tomas Gutierrez pinning Bear Creek’s Jovan Ayala at 106 pounds in 2 minutes, 29 seconds. And then the Pan-thers closed the meet with their biggest wrestler, Mitch Chism, pinning John Es-quivel in the 285 pound class in 85 seconds.

But the Bears were hardly shutout. They actually have one of the best wrestlers in the state in any weight class in junior PT Garcia.

Garcia, a reigning state champion, took on Pomona’s Lucas Vagher at 126 pounds, in one of the most anticipated meetings of the season. Vagher took fourth in state last year and he was looking forward to the op-portunity to take down Garcia Thursday night.

Vagher lost 6-1, but Garcia failed to pin him. Garcia was still satisfi ed with his ef-fort, though.

“We just know each other so well. I am sure this won’t be the last time we see each other,” Garcia said about the matchup. “I just have to keep working hard and keep getting better. It’s about practicing and working like you’re No. 2, even if you are No. 1.”

Bear Creek senior Corky Phillips was the Bears only other winner Thursday night and he did it in dominant fashion. Phillips pinned Damian Rodriguez in just 25 sec-onds.

“It was quick but it wasn’t easy,” Phillips said.

Phillips qualifi ed for state last year and he said his one and only goal this season is

to win a state championship. And if he does win it all at 195 pounds he may have to go through Rodriquez again to do so.

But other than Garcia and Phillips it was sheer domination for Pomona, which not only showed why it is ranked No. 1 in the state but why it has a chance to produce fi ve - and potentially even six - individual state champions.

One of those guys is senior Archie Col-gan. Colgan fi nished third in state last season and he made quick work of Bear Creek’s Nicolas Risedorf, pinning him in 3 minutes exactly on Thursday.

“We were all good as a team tonight but also as a team we have a big goals and this is just a part of the process,” Colgan said. “We have to keep working hard and keep working on ways to get better.”

Lakewood gets lopsided win over Farmers Wheat Ridge in middle of rebuild; Tigers fashioning a juggernaut By Daniel Williams [email protected]

WHEAT RIDGE - It was a little bit of déjà vu for Lakewood coach Chris Poisson.

His team beat up Wheat Ridge 92-34 last Thursday night at Lakewood High School. But it wasn’t that long ago when his team was in Wheat Ridge’s current position - young and inexperienced.

Lakewood (3-1) attacked early and never let up, getting double dig-it scoring efforts from four different players.

Lakewood senior Celina Quayle scored 13 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, and senior Sabrina Tru-jillo scored a game-high 14 points.

“We are starting to fi nd our rhythm and we are playing with a lot of confi dence right now,” Lakewood junior Jessica Brooks said.

Wheat Ridge (0-4), a team with only two seniors and little varsity experience, struggled to keep pace with Lakewood. One of those seniors is Natalie Ross-Smith who record 10 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.

“We just have to stay positive and keep working hard to get bet-ter,” Ross-Smith said. “It is hard to do sometimes in losses but we have to get back to practice this week and get better for our next game.”

But coach Poisson has heard this

story before. When he looks at Wheat Ridge

he sees his own team a few seasons ago. Just three seasons ago his Tigers suffered though a season where they won only three total games, routine-ly getting blown out and struggling to be competitive on many nights.

And just like Wheat Ridge fi rst year coach Meg Schwiesow is do-ing right now, Poisson continued to build on a foundation that started by losing games - sometimes in ugly fashion.

“When we were rebuilding it was all about doing all of the little things that it took to get better,” Poisson said. “Then we went from 30 points to 40 points, and then from 40 points to 50 points. Now if we don’t get to 50 that means we aren’t playing well.”

Three years after going 3-20, Lakewood looks like a Final Four type of team, who is averaging over 70 points per game.

“I defi nitely think we are a Final Four team but that is a long way from right now,” Brooks said. “We have to keep getting better if we want to beat the really good teams.”

And on the fl ip side, Wheat Ridge is still searching for their fi rst win.

“We are getting beat but we cer-tainly have not quit. We are working hard and getting better, and we will continue to improve,” Wheat Ridge coach Meg Schwiesow said. “The wins are going to come but wins are just a result of a lot of hard work.”

The Farmers will now host Holy Family Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Lake-wood will host Denver South Friday at 7 p.m.

Boys hoops: Pirates put together win streak

By Daniel Williams [email protected]

After dropping their fi rst two games of the season, Alameda boys’ hoops have won back-to-back contests, the latest being a 53-30 victory over Hinkley Sat-urday in a Ponderosa Tourna-ment game.

Alameda had four double digit scorers including 16 points from junior Narnath Reat. Junior Josh Thompson added 11 points for the Pirates.

Alameda also beat Manuel 55-26 the night before.

Next for the Pirates (2-2) is a meeting at Aurora Central Thursday at 7 p.m.

MUSTANGS BUCK BEARSBear Creek fell to Mullen

49-32 Thursday at Mullen High

School.Mullen used stout defense to

hold Bear Creek to three second quarter points which turned out to be the difference in an other-wise closely contested game.

Junior Travis Sheets scored nine points for the Bears. Mul-len’s Dominic Russell scored 13 points.

Next up for Bear Creek (0-3) is Thornton at 7 p.m. at Thornton High School.

JAGS CAPTURE SHOOTOUT TITLED’Evelyn boys’ hoops won the

Steamboat Shootout in Steam-boat over the weekend defeating Hayden 76-49 in the champion-ship game on Saturday.

The Jaguars (6-0) remained beat Fruita Monument 76-37 in the opener on Thursday and then beat Steamboat 74-34 on Friday en route to their tourna-ment title.

D’Evelyn outscored their op-ponents 226-120 in the tourna-ment.

The unbeaten Jaguars will host Thomas Jefferson Friday at 7 p.m.

TIGERS ON A ROLLAfter losing their season

opener to Highlands Ranch the Lakewood Tigers have won three straight games.

Their latest victim was Castle View which they defeated 45-25 Friday at Lakewood High School.

Senior Nermin Kozic scored a game-high 18 points and add-ed fi ve steals. His little brother Irhad Kozic didn’t score but add-ed nine combined rebounds, steals and assists, and was per-haps the best defender on the fl oor.

The Tigers will travel to Den-ver South Friday at 5:30 p.m.

Girls basketball: Krusko’s big night not enough

By Daniel Williams [email protected]

KRUSKO’S BIG NIGHT NOT ENOUGHBear Creek girls’ basketball

suffered their fi rst loss of the season falling 50-39 to Prairie View Friday at Bear Creek High School.

Bear Creek sophomore Edi-na Krusko had game-high 21 points and seven rebounds, but

it wasn’t enough as Prairie View’s Jordan Wilson had 17 points and 11 rebounds.

The Bears (2-1) will play Pon-derosa Friday at 7 p.m. at Pon-derosa High School.

JAGS ROLL TO SHOOTOUT TITLEJust as their boys did,

D’Evelyn girls basketball cap-tured the Steamboat Shootout crown defeating Elizabeth 46-31 in the championship game on Saturday.

D’Evelyn sophomore Morgan

Ducklow scored 13 points to lead the Jaguars in the title game.

Ducklow also recorded four steals and fi ve rebounds in the victory.

The Jaguars beat Rifl e 75-43 in the fi rst round on Thursday and then defeated Green River 64-32 on Friday in the semifi -nals.
