Celebrating 500th home New home gives family a second chance at freedom By Clarke Reader [email protected] Habitat for Humanity celebrated the completion of its 500th home Nov. 17 in Lakewood.

Council to rework zoningUrban agriculture, accessory units reviewedBy Clarke [email protected]

Lakewood City Council gave staff direc-tion on mother-in-law houses, urban agri-culture and notification areas — all part of updating its zoning ordinance — during the Nov. 19 study session.

These three issues have been some of the most discussed and debated during the new rezoning process, and the public hear-ing and final reading of the ordinance will be during the Dec. 10 meeting.

For accessory dwelling units, or mother-in-law houses, council could approve the current proposal in the new zoning ordi-nance, which allows attached and detached units on lots of 7,500 square-feet and larger. Or, council could choose to prohibit units entirely or allow attached and limit detached to lots of 9,000 square-feet and larger.

Celebrating 500th homeNew home gives family a second chance at freedomBy Clarke [email protected]

Habitat for Humanity celebrated the completion of its 500th home Nov. 17 in Lakewood.

Habitat for Humanity has been building in the Denver Metro area since 1979, and the organization is working on six homes in Lakewood. The 500th home is at West 16th Avenue and Chase Street, and the milestone was celebrated with a dedication and block party for all the volunteers and neighbors who have been working on these projects.

“We’re so excited to be celebrating with the community,” said Heather Lafferty, Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s executive director and CEO. “We’re so for-tunate to have such a generous community that understands that everyone needs a home.”

Cemetery care isn’t grave undertaking The fi rst time Steve Engle ventured

into the cemetery, the weeds and grass reached his shoulders. Thorny bushes grabbed at his clothes and twisted over the stones, muffl ing the past buried beneath.

But as Engle uncovered fi rst one stone marker, then another, unremembered stories began to whisper.

He listened.And they touched his heart.“Simply because you’re dead doesn’t

mean you should be forgotten,” said Engle, 64, as he gazed at the simple stone of Joseph Chmura, a Korean War veteran. “These stories need to be told. Those buried here need to be honored.”

So Engle, a retired salesman who sees history’s footprints wherever he looks, has worked to do just that. It has become a labor of love and a way to chronicle the memoirs of the land around him.

“We all need to have a relationship to the land,” he said, looking out from the graveyard into peaceful Mount Vernon Canyon. “There’s signifi cance in the land.”

The historic Rockland Community Church and Cemetery, built in 1879 and on the National Register of Historic Places, nestles against a quiet hillside minutes from the Lookout Mountain/Buf-falo Bill exit off I-70. Slightly larger than a football fi eld, the cemetery and its small, simple clapboard church with white peel-ing paint and green shutters are tucked between two private homes.

Engle, who lives minutes away in Genesee, fi rst stumbled upon the cem-etery in 2008 during a work day with a men’s group from Rockland Community Church, whose modern-day incarnation sits just down the road. It took weeks to mow the brush and clear away the thorns

enough to begin to understand the im-portance of the narratives and lives that time and neglect had camoufl aged.

That same year, Engle began studying toward a master’s degree in public history at the University of Colorado-Denver. His thesis is to accurately measure and map the cemetery. That means fi nding and documenting graves, identifying them and providing each with “a proper obitu-ary.”

So far, he has uncovered 144 graves — the fi rst burial was in 1880, the most recent in 2010 — but he believes more are there, some maybe even under U.S. 40, which borders the top of the cemetery.

“People got sick, people died, they didn’t know where to take the bodies,” he said of the early years. “They dropped them off here. The ground was frozen, you couldn’t dig a hole. They tagged ‘em and dropped them off and went on their way.”

Engle’s care has transformed the cem-etery.

Now you see the markers, once hidden under the brush, jutting from the ground beneath the Ponderosa pine. Simple white crosses. Gray and white marble headstones with precisely formed inscrip-tions. Red granite with names scratched on by hand. He has added American fl ags to the graves of all veterans — from the Spanish-American War to the Korean War

— and purple, yellow and blue plastic fl owers to every marker. The graves are grouped by families, many of whose roots run deep in the area. More than a church cemetery, it is a community cemetery.

All the while, Engle has listened.On this day, he sits on the edge of

Charles Delaware Kemper’s grave and picks up a smooth, lined copper-colored rock. Kemper, in his early 30s according to the stone marker, died in 1994. Engle found the rock when he was clearing the grave. The marker reads: “You gave us love and laughter and taught us the meaning of hope and courage.”

“I always kept the rock with it so it wouldn’t get away from here.” He turns it over in his hands. “It’s a very touching memorial, and it’s interesting that when you go to a cemetery you fi nd a lot of reference to laughter.”

Nearby stand a trio of white crosses, the only identifi cation a small tag that says “Child of Bill Anderson.”

“They all died at the same time. My guess is a diphtheria epidemic.” Engle walks toward three more crosses that say only “Stomp child.” “You refl ect on life and how hard it can be, and how hard it can be for all of us, I guess.”

The largest section belongs to the Ralston family, the area’s original pio-neers. Lucien Hunter Ralston, a Civil War veteran and Army scout, brought his family from Kentucky in 1879, hoping the Colorado air would help his wife’s severe asthma condition.

Engle stands by Ralston’s grave, which bears a U.S. and a state fl ag. “I put a Ken-tucky state fl ag out there for them.”

Some markers share more than just names, birth and death dates.

Engle stops before the grave of William Keiper, whose stone depicts a cabin, elk,

pines and coyotes. “What was important to this man was nature. He had his cabin out in the woods. He had a lot of game, the dove of peace, the howling of coyotes. … I’m sure he treasured that.”

Much has been accomplished since Engle took on the job of caretaker. He’s on his fourth push lawn mower from Home Depot. He doesn’t use a riding mower because he would run over, and possibly destroy, the markers and relics he regu-larly discovers.

But there is still much to do.Engle is hoping to use ground-pene-

trating radar to locate more graves and uncover the reasons for several ground depressions that pock the cemetery. Researching the lives of those buried is a consuming task. But he is happy to unlock the mysteries in this small piece of ground. He doesn’t plan on walking away any time soon.

On a hot day, when he needs a shady spot to rest while he’s mowing, Engle usually heads over to World War II veteran Harry T. Lee’s grave under the juniper tree.

“I’ll talk to him.” He chuckles. “You have a tendency to talk to them when you’re working around them.”

But he also continues to listen.There are still so many stories left to

tell.When completed, Steve Engle’s re-

search will go to the Jefferson County Historical Archives. Anyone with informa-tion about the cemetery can reach Engle at [email protected] or 303-526-0893.

Menten wins RTD District M Race came down to 268 votes By Clarke Reader [email protected]

After a tight race, Natalie Menten has won the Regional Transportation District board of directors seat for District M.

Menten received 50.21 percent of the vote (32,334 votes) to incumbent Matt Co-hen’s 49.79 percent (32,006 votes).

According to Josh Liss, deputy of elec-tions for Jeffco, the election results were certifi ed on Wednesday, Nov. 21.

While the end results are close, Liss said they do not require a recount.

“Menten won by a mar-gin of 268 votes. For a re-count to be required, she would have had needed to be within 161 votes,” he said.

A ballot recount is done whenever the percentage of victory is one-half of 1 percent or less of the winner’s vote total.

District M encompasses most of Lake-wood, Golden and Wheat Ridge.

Tighe topples Odom for commissioner seatIn a turn-around from early election results, Tighe defeats Odom

By Glenn [email protected]

Casey Tighe is the new 2nd District Jefferson Coun-ty commissioner.

The county clerk and recorder certified the votes for the 2012 General Elec-tion on Nov. 21, and the fi-nal tally put the Democratic candidate Tighe ahead of appointed incumbent John Odom by 738 votes.

Tighe’s 136,164 votes gave him just enough of a cushion to avoid triggering a mandatory recount.

“I’m honored by the vot-ers of Jefferson County, and I hope I do a good job,” Tighe said last week.

The race results remain close enough that Odom or the Republican Party could request a recount and ac-cept responsibility for the costs involved.

A recount could begin as early as this week, and

Ten-year-old David Jonathan Sturgeon was too ill to enjoy the Christ-mas of 1914 with the rest of the family. He lay dying in his upstairs bedroom from an illness that his doctor said would con-sume him before the next Christmas.

As the rest of the fam-ily gathered around the Christmas tree to marvel at its bright lights, David Dwight Sturgeon was sad-dened by the thought of his son lying in bed, un-able to witness the same beauty of Christmas.

As one of Denver’s pio-neer electricians, Stur-geon’s knowledge of such things led him to create what is thought to be the city’s – and possibly the

nation’s – fi rst outdoor Christmas tree lights.

Sturgeon dipped light bulbs in green and red paint and connected them to electrical wire that he strung around pine trees that towered up to his son’s bedroom window. The boy was thrilled to see such a sight from his bed and, as word spread of the brilliant out-door phenomenon, peo-ple began to come night after night to gaze at its beauty.

Newspapers reported on the outdoor display, and soon the street in front of the Sturgeon home was fi lled with pass-ing buggies and horseless. It didn’t take long before others were displaying

their own outdoor Christ-mas lights and, as the cus-tom spread, Denver spon-sored contests as early as 1918. Neighborhoods competed to see who could come up with the most elaborate displays of outdoor Christmas lights.

Five years after Stur-geon started the outdoor lighting tradition, John Malpiede, Denver’s city electrician at the time, obtained permission to put up Denver’s fi rst lighted tree in Civic Cen-ter Park. The citizens were so inspired at the sight that Mapliede began add-ing extra bulbs to the tree and wrapping decorative garlands and evergreen around lampposts and railings. His projects grew

from year to year and were so popular that in 1926, the then mayor Ben Stapleton gave him per-mission – and a budget –to decorate the exterior of City Hall.

In 1945, NBC aired a special program about Denver and the Sturgeon family. They were recog-nized for originating the tradition that today draws thousands each year to witness the lighting of Denver’s City and County Building.

For little David Jona-than Sturgeon, there would be seven more Christmases to enjoy. He was able to witness in those years the joy his father’s creation gave to others as well.

Lighting a Christmas tree doesn’t have to be a chore when you follow some tips from the professionals.

First, keep in mind that wrapping lights around the tree horizontally is more work and often doesn’t produce a multi-dimensional effect. Rather, string the lights from the trunk up to the top, work-ing vertically. This is actu-ally how the tree decorators at Rockefeller Center in New York City do the famous tree every year. This method helps eliminate tangled wires and

empty spots. Remember to plug in the strands of lights before you begin to check for burnt-out bulbs and to adjust the spacing of lights to prevent dark spots. To add more di-mension, string an inner layer of small LED white lights to produce an inner glow on the tree before adding larger, col-ored lights on top to increase visual appeal. Just be sure to match the same wattage of the lights so that you do not have power surges and can prolong the life of the bulbs.

Thanksgiving distribution feeds the spirit More than 400 volunteershelp give food to 6,800 people By Clarke Reader [email protected]

The Action Center had another great year with its annual Thanksgiving Food Distribution on Nov. 18.

According to Mag Strittmatter, executive di-rector for the Action Center, this year the orga-nization served more than 2,100 households, which means they provided Thanksgiving din-ners for at least 6,800 people.

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

The center, 8755 W. 14th Ave. in Lakewood, is a nonprofi t organization that helps people in Jefferson County with basic needs.

“We want to prevent people from putting their housing at risk, because sometimes fami-lies will use rent and utilities money to buy food for Thanksgiving,” she said. “We don’t want a couple hundred-dollar problem to become a couple thousand-dollar one.”

Each registered family received a turkey, or a coupon for one from Kings Soopers, and a box loaded with favorite holiday sides like stuffi ng, potatoes and cranberry sauce.

The center has been doing the distribution for more than 10 years, and this is the third year that it has been a drive-thru, allowing people to drive up and have some of the more than 400 volunteers load their car.

Volunteers like Megan Walsh worked hard in the weeks leading up to the actual event to pre-pare the boxes of food and get everything orga-

nized for distribution day.“We were there from 6:30 in the morning to

around 5:15 that afternoon, but it was a great time and we had a lot of fun,” she said.

Walsh and other volunteers are part of Amer-iCorps and came from all over the country to take part in the distribution.

She said it was their fi rst service project as a group, but that it went extremely well.

“I come from a small town in Massachusetts and so it’s great to see how many people were

there who wanted to help, but it was hard to see how many people needed help as well,” she said.

While those in need are certainly the main benefi ciaries, Strittmatter understands that the volunteers benefi t from the distribution as well.

“Our volunteers get to see the cause and ef-fect of helping people, so it’s a win-win all the way around,” she said.

Conservation organization to celebrate 40 years By Clarke Reader [email protected]

PLAN Jeffco will mark its 40th an-niversary at the restaurant 240 Union.

The organization will host a “Run with the Pack” event Sunday, Dec. 2, to not only celebrate 40 years of work-ing to preserve open space, but to look ahead to the future of the organiza-tion.

Formed in 1972 by citizens who were concerned that open spaces in Jefferson County would vanish, the group has worked to make sure these spaces stay protected.

“We were the ones who wrote the ballot resolution that started a half-cent open space tax,” said Margo Zal-len, one of PLAN’s founding members and current chairperson. “Since then

we’ve been working on so many things, from ballot measures to grants.”

Thanks to PLAN’s efforts, 53,000 acres of land have been preserved, with all of their trails, views and wild-life protected as well.

Some of the other things that PLAN has accomplished include the pur-chase of Crown Hill Park, successfully opposed the building of a Nike head-quarters on South Table Mountain in 2000, and preserving all the lands in Clear Creek Canyon.

The event at 240 Union will feature a wine tasting and dinner, with key-note speaker Ed Bangs, who is a rec-ognized wolf expert. Zallen said he will talk about wolves in the state, and the various re-introduction efforts that are in the works.

There will also be a silent auction to help raise funds to keep the group

alive. All the funds raised during the evening will go toward PLAN’s work and growth.

240 Union has become one of the premiere places in the city to host these kinds of events, which owner Michael Coughlin attributes to his feeling of helping the community.

“We’ve always been very respon-sible in supporting events around Jeffco,” he said. “It’s my way of giving back, and that’s just what we’re all about.”

PLAN has many issues to work on in its next 40 years, Zallen said, includ-ing conservation and climate change.

“Just imagine what Jeffco would look like without all the open spaces we have,” she said. “Many of them wouldn’t be around without our pro-tection.”

Tighe topples Odom for commissioner seat In a turn-around from early election results, Tighe defeats Odom

By Glenn Wallace [email protected]

Casey Tighe is the new 2nd District Jefferson Coun-ty commissioner.

The county clerk and recorder certifi ed the votes for the 2012 General Elec-tion on Nov. 21, and the fi -nal tally put the Democratic candidate Tighe ahead of appointed incumbent John Odom by 738 votes.

Tighe’s 136,164 votes gave him just enough of a cushion to avoid triggering a mandatory recount.

“I’m honored by the vot-ers of Jefferson County, and I hope I do a good job,” Tighe said last week.

The race results remain close enough that Odom or the Republican Party could request a recount and ac-cept responsibility for the costs involved.

A recount could begin as early as this week, and

would be e x p e c t e d to take fi ve b u s i n e s s days.

O d o m could not be reached over the Thanksgiv-ing weekend.

There were several close races in Jefferson County this year, but none triggered an automatic recount. The county certifi ed its vote results on the day before Thanksgiving.

“Our elections staff performs a tremendous amount of work after Elec-tion Day to ensure that our accounting for this election balances and every eligible vote is counted,” said Jeffer-son County Clerk Pam An-derson in a released state-ment.

Anderson’s offi ce report-ed a total of 313,662 ballots were counted in this elec-tion, which is the highest

number of ballots cast in an election in Jefferson Coun-ty. Turnout for this election was at 96 percent of all ac-tive registered voters.

When the polls closed on election night, Odom had been in the lead by 133 votes.

“I was a little worried and disappointed, but still had hope,” Tighe said.

Thousands of other bal-lots were counted after Election Day though, in-cluding military, oversea, and provisional ballots.

Those ballots provided

the 871-vote swing needed to grant Tighe the win.

Tighe thanked his cam-paign manager Audrey Kline, and the coordination of the Jeffco Democratic Party for pulling out the close win.

“I also think that voters in Jefferson County really listen to what a candidate says, and not just voting the party card,” Tighe said.

Tighe will be sworn in and take offi ce in January, alongside his fellow com-missioners Donald Rosier and Faye Griffi n.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

An important day in the season of giving At this time of year, you probably do not

need to be reminded of the adage “it’s bet-ter to give than to receive.”

Chances are, you’ve already made some headway on your holiday shopping list, perhaps starting on Black Friday, or even on Thanksgiving night.

The spirit of giving is what propels these treks through malls and big-box stores. You’re buying gifts for loved ones and, as a bonus, helping to stimulate the economy.

But have you checked your list twice? For those of you in a fi nancial position to do so, we encourage you to add another name (or two) to that list — specifi cally that of your favorite nonprofi t organiza-

tion. Conveniently, there is a day set aside for doing this. Thankfully, you won’t have to wait in any lines.

Colorado Gives Day is Dec. 4. Created in 2010 by Arvada-based Community First Foundation with the fi nancial support of FirstBank, the aim is to “increase philan-thropy in Colorado through online giving.” Touted as “24 hours to give where you live,”

you can donate to your favorite nonprofi ts at givingfi rst.org/cogivesday.

Last year, $12.8 million was distributed to 928 nonprofi ts, according to the Colo-rado Gives Day 2011 Giving Report, which can be found on the website.

That dollar amount was a 46 percent increase over the inaugural event in 2010. In Jefferson County alone, more than $2 million was donated.

The average donation last year was $237, but donations as small as $10 are accepted. A full 100 percent goes to the charities. And yes, your donation is tax-deductible.

The causes your money can help are

numerous, with more than 1,000 organiza-tions participating.

Eligible nonprofi ts on the list include those dedicated to helping children, ani-mals and the environment; those looking to fi ght various illnesses; those looking to enrich our communities through promot-ing the arts; and many, many more causes. You can search through the list of nonprof-its on the website.

We believe you’ll fi nd Colorado Gives Day to be as easy and rewarding a way to give as you’ll fi nd this holiday season.

For more information, go to givingfi rst.org/cogivesday, call 720-898-5900 or email givingfi rst@communityfi rstfoundation.org.

WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER

Key characteristics needed to move on

I recently wrote a column laying out some characteristics I thought would be important if there was going to be any hope of healing the rifts in this country.

I acknowledged that there was the possibility I was making too much of it, but then I saw one more astonishing statistic that seems to support my thesis: After this election, there are now 37 states that have one-party rule, including Colorado.

So while the Democrats in Washington are going to need to pull in at least a little Republican support to get things done, that sort of outreach is not the case in more than two-thirds of the states.

In other words, the need for those in power to learn how to play well with oth-ers is all but nonexistent in the states; so, there’s little reason to think that Wash-ington will get better in time.

But that shouldn’t deter us from try-ing to find a better way forward.

I’d hate to think the only way I was going to feel like I got along with my neighbors was to move to Texas.

So, following on my suggestion that Truth and Service are necessary, here goes a few more characteristics that I think might be useful going forward.

Generosity — most people think of generosity as the impulse to give some-thing away. So let’s give this away — the benefit of the doubt.

The Right thinks the Left wants to col-lapse the American system so that they can move in with the European social state; the Left thinks the Right only wants to protect the obscene wealth of the 1 percent, and to do it on the backs of the other 99 percent.

Can we, maybe, give each other the benefit of the doubt?

Is it possible that both sides actually want what is best for the country, but that they disagree on what that would be and how to get there?

Must we always assign the other side nefarious motive?

I know that makes it easier to demon-ize the other side to win elections, but it really doesn’t do a lot to move the coun-try forward or to keep it together.

Transparency — The American sys-tem works best when the governed know what the governing class is doing, if for no other reason then that it prevents cor-ruption.

But hidden agendas, lies, spin and ob-fuscation have become the norm lately. Whether it’s administration people re-peatedly pushing a story that is obviously false regarding Benghazi, or candidates carefully dodging questions while getting

caught on telephone-cameras telling do-nors what they really think, transparency is practically a thing of the a bygone era.

Here’s an idea: everybody say what you actually mean, what you really think, and what you actually intend to do, and then let’s have a legitimate contest of ideas.

Accountability — Here’s the tough one. When your candidate fails on any measure of what a good, honest public servant should be doing, will you with-hold your support for them?

To illustrate what’s so tough about this one, consider this: Jesse Jackson Jr. left Congress in June, missed more than 200 votes, had health problems and campaign finance scandals, and made exactly zero public appearances in his re-election bid.

Yet, for some reason, his constituents reelected him by a 4-1 margin.

That’s not accountability, that’s aris-tocracy. That’s why we keep having the childish partisan bickering in Congress — because too many in Congress are in “safe” districts and never have to try to see another point of view.

If the voters stopped accepting that from their representatives, maybe we would see some change.

I know these are all pipe dreams; I don’t expect things to get any better any time soon.

There are too many systemic incen-tives for the status quo, at least as far as the elected class goes.

But maybe we can start something new, built around some of the ideas I’ve presented.

And then, someday, when they build a giant fence around Washington, D.C., we can start over, remembering that disagreements can be the starting point of brilliant solutions, if we don’t let them tear us apart.

Storey re� ects on journey Je� co DA Scott Storey steps down, takes a look back By Glenn Wallace [email protected]

Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey will step down at the end of the year.

After being elected in 2004, the Colorado native is term limited.

Storey spoke to Colorado Commu-nity Media recently, to talk about his career as he steps aside to let the new-ly-elected Pete Weir take the wheel.

What follows is a slightly con-densed version of that interview.

CCM: When you fi rst went to law school, it was to help out the family business, which was building.

But then you clearly became fo-cused on criminal prosecution. How did that change happen?

Storey: “I thought geeze, I went to law school for fi ve years, to do just business law?

I wanted to take six months to a year, and get trial work out of my sys-tem.

That was agreeable to everybody in the family, so I went down to the El Paso DA’s offi ce.

After six months I was in district court with a felony docket.

My fi rst felony jury trial was a girl. She had a diffi cult time — there wasn’t the kind of child of victim resources there are today — and was very reluc-tant to testify. Her dad was very sexu-ally abusive to her for many years. But she testifi ed.

I think the turning point for me was when she got up there and testi-fi ed for hours. She came up to me af-terwards and said, “Scott, I did it.” It transformed me. I never did go back to my business.

CCM: Did you get the conviction?Storey: Yeah … she did. I stumbled

along, but she’s the one that got the conviction.

CCM: You started working here in Jeffco DA’s offi ce 23 years ago. What eventually led you to run for district attorney?

Storey: Dave Thomas was term limited. I think part of it was having management experience from the construction business.

I had a passion for the offi ce, and felt like maybe I could do a better job than some of the candidates.

I’d never even run for student councils, so I didn’t know what I was doing.

I was very lucky to have very good mentors help me through.

CCM: What has it been like to hold the offi ce of DA?

Storey: I’ve loved every minute of it. It’s been an incredible honor.

I never set out to be an elected of-fi cial but I feel blessed every day. I love it.

I think I’ve been good at it. I’ve ac-complished a lot. It’s bittersweet, be-cause of term limits I can’t fi nish some of the things I’ve started.

CCM: What are some of the cases that you’re proud of?

Storey: The DeWild case (in trial) right now. That’s a cold case that we started a task force for.

Frankly, I made a promise to Heather DeWild’s family that she would have justice before I was done.

Then there was the victim Rose Moniak, a senior citizen who worked for the shuttles.

One of her customers … dragged her around the corner and just kicked her. She should have died.

I personally prosecuted that be-cause I was outraged.

CCM: Programs you’re proud of?Storey: The Power Against Fraud

program teaches people how to stay safe.

Coming from that, I started the El-der Abuse Unit.

We have now the only dedicated elder abuse unit in Colorado.

I decided to start another special-ized unit, Child Sex Offender Inter-net Investigations. We nicknamed it Cheezo, and that’s the name of the mascot. We’ve probably arrested up-wards of 600 predators.

But the bigger effort of that is our prevention program. We go out to schools and talk about internet safety and cell phone safety.

CCM: What will you do now?Storey: Pete has asked me to stay

on, to supervise some of the programs I’ve started.

I will not be a policy maker though. He’s better qualifi ed than I am any-way. I hope to try some cases … if I remember how.

And no, I’m never going to run for anything else.

Outgoing Je� erson County District Attorney Scott Storey.

Coach Karl clearly cares

Talk a little NBA b-ball while sidling up to Denver Nuggets Head Coach George Karl during a charity breakfast from 7-8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, at Coohills, 1400 Wewatta St.

Space is limited, so RSVPs are request-ed by Nov. 30 to [email protected] or by calling 303-788-9399. Cost is $28 per person.

The event is part of Colorado Gives Day 2012, where residents have 24 hours to give where they live.

The Coach Karl breakfast proceeds will support the Progressive Health Center and Cancer Care Initiative on Colorado Gives Day. Coloradans will come together again to raise millions of dollars for non-profits throughout the state.

Last year, $12.8 million was distrib-uted to Colorado nonprofits. Progressive Health Center and Cancer Care Initiative raised $36,000 and won an award for The Largest Percentage Increase In Dollars raised. The organization’s goal for 2012 is to increase that amount by 10 percent.

Progressive Health Center uses do-nations to help uninsured/underserved patients; for education programs and for general operating funds.

The Cancer Care Initiative helps with patient navigation, pain management, survivorship and integrative medicine.

Presented by Community First Foun-dation and FirstBank, Colorado Gives Day asks you to give to your favorite charities through the website www.GivingFirst.org, an online giving resource featuring every nonprofit participating in Colorado Gives Day.

One hundred percent of your dona-tion will come to the charity you choose. When you give online anytime on Dec. 4, the value of your donation will be in-creased by the FirstBank Incentive Fund.

Donate online at www.givingfirst.org/progressivehealthcenter anytime dur-ing the 24-hour period of Dec. 4 to “Give Where You Live.”

Taxi turkeysFor the 20th year in a row, Metro Taxi

drivers volunteered to bring meals to residents in need by delivering food from the legendary Daddy Bruce Randolph Thanksgiving program.

Metro Taxi Denver drivers assisted the Epworth Foundation’s annual Denver Feed a Family Thanksgiving program by delivering more than 1,800 food baskets to Denver residents unable to leave their homes.

At midnight prior to our traditional turkey day, three city blocks surrounding Epworth United Methodist Church, 3401 High St., closed to set up a giant assembly line for Thanksgiving food baskets.

After hundreds of volunteers sorted and packed the food that Walmart had donated and hauled in, volunteer drivers from Metro Taxi began delivering food baskets to the elderly and shut-ins.

The drivers navigated more than 120 routes and made more than 1,800 de-liveries to needy residents in northeast Denver who would otherwise not have had access to the donations.

“This is not a business decision for us, this is simply the right thing for us to do and we are so proud of our drivers who step up to help their neighbors,” Metro Taxi Denver Operations Manager Bobby

Holiday show features low prices, new fundraisersBy Clarke [email protected]

There are many holiday art shows this time of year, but at the Lakewood Arts Council, the show is all about the art-

ists.At the LAC’s holiday arts and crafts show,

which runs at the organization’s gallery, 85 S. Union Blvd., through Dec. 22, all the money made goes directly back to the artists, without the LAC taking any commission.

According to Kathy Berls, the group’s ar-tistic director, this allows for the items to be sold at a much lower price, which makes for a great shopping experience.

“We have a lot of return artists who take part in the show every year,” she said. “Items for sale aren’t just pieces of art, pottery, jew-elry and ornaments, but we also have some delicious jams and some lovely soaps.”

The gallery does have two fundraisers go-ing at the same time as the holiday show — one old and one new.

For the past four years the LAC has done holiday gift baskets during this time of year, and Berls said they’ve become extremely popular. Throughout the year they collect baskets and people come through and do-nate items.

Berls puts the baskets together around themes, like food, wine and children’s themes like superhero or princess.

“They’ve reached a point where they’re in pretty high demand,” she said. “We have people who come early to see when we’ll have them available.”

For the first time, the LAC is doing a fun-draiser called “the chair project.” Throughout the year artists found recycled adult and chil-dren’s chairs at thrift stores, and painted them in their own unique way.

Ann Quinn, a Lakewood artist and mem-ber of the LAC, designed four chairs for the fundraiser. She said she was drawn to the idea because she likes challenges in her work.

“It’s really fun to find something pretty ba-

sic and turn it into something different,” she said. “It’s fun for us artists to do something different, and keep the gallery from being just a wall-hung place.”

The space the artists have to work with isn’t large, but Berls is always impressed with how they fill it.

“Most crafters and artists don’t do it for the money — they do it because they love it,” she said.

The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

For more information, call 303-980-0625 or visit www.lakewoodartscouncil.org.

DDRC gives clients a chance to shine

By Clarke [email protected]

The holidays are the time for people to come together, and that is the main goal of the Devel-opmental Disabilities Re-source Center’s holiday bazaar.

The 11th annual bazaar will be at the DDRC, 11177 W. 8th Ave., from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6.

“The bazaar isn’t a huge money maker for us, but it’s great for giving the community a chance to

get involved with us and the people we serve,” said Ron Marquez, director of community relations for

the DDRC. “It shows the people we serve that they can be entrepreneurs, and build and sell things.”

Not only will the bazaar feature handmade items like jewellery, wreaths and other crafts, but home-made soaps and gourmet coffees will also be on sale. Carolers will sing holiday favorites, and Santa is scheduled to stop by.

According to April Richey, volunteer coordi-nator, vendors keep their prices low so DDRC cli-ents can shop, and the community can share in the low prices.

“We have every booth booked,” Marquez said. “We always get a good turnout from employees,

clients, local businesses and the community.”

Community members are asked to bring canned food to help meet emer-gency holiday needs.

“Our clients really en-joy doing this every year,” Marquez said. “It helps them to feel like they’ve accomplished something and people really value

what they make.”For more information

on the bazaar, call 303-462-6585 or visit www.ddrcco.com.

antlers at the end of the mat-ing season in early Decem-ber. Females, on the other hand, keep

their thinner antlers through-

out the winter. If all the historic depictions of Santa and his team of reindeer are to be believed, then it is the girls who are pulling the jolly fat man and his goods through the winter skies. And here’s another reason for the fe-male theory: Male reindeer carry as little as fi ve percent body fat when Christmas rolls around, having lost much of their fatty storage during the mating season. Female reindeer, however, enter winter carrying about 50 percent body fat. This natural insulator, which can be a couple of inches thick on their rumps, keeps the female reindeer nice and toasty as they travel through the world in tem-peratures that can reach as low as minus 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

The last paragraph would seem to prove that it is, in-deed, a team of female rein-deer traveling around the world with Santa on Christ-mas Eve night. Perhaps the one with the red nose is ac-tually Ruby?

We should have known – a little tongue-in-cheek humor here – only women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night … and not get lost!

Where were you born?Right here in Denver and I am a second generation na-

tive. I have lived in Colorado all my life.

What do you like most about it?Like everyone, I love the beauty, the weath-

er and the mountains but mostly the won-derful people who live in this state.

How long have you worked in real estate?

I have had my license for about three years, but was investing in real estate on my own since 2000. I had been going to real estate classes and doing a lot of reading. � e event sig-nage business I owned took a decline when the econo-my went bad so I decided it was a good time to turn my hobby into my profession and got my real estate license.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I work about half with regular residential buyers and sell-ers and half with investors. I think the regular clients appreci-ate the extra training I have around valuation. � e investors’ bene� t from my having a good handle on how the residential buyer is going to see the remodeled houses my investors buy to re-sell.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?We are now in a seller’s market and some buyers haven’t

realized that yet, so I have to provide education about the low inventory situation we are currently in and how that a� ects both making o� ers and selling strategies.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I love getting up into the mountains, cooking, seeing movies, and spend-

ing time with family, friends, and reading. I am a big mystery reader.

I still love looking for investment opportunities for myself and am currently investing in tax deed properties in Florida.

What is the one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

Ask your agent to take you on a tour of the other currently listed houses near your home. Seeing the other houses on the market can give you ideas about staging and pricing. It may also help you to see your house as others will see it.

What is the one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

You must be pre-approved by a lender before you start looking. In today’s market, there are not a lot of active listings, so you need to be ready to act quickly when you � nd your dream house.

What is the most unusual thing you have ever encountered in real estate?

� ere have been many, but one was a house in a suburban neighborhood that had an actual nightclub in the basement.

Anyone purchasing a home needs to have it inspected, not only by a general home

inspector, but in many cases by a professional engineer, mold inspec-tor, radon tester, or any other spe-cialists trained to evaluate any other potential problem.

Sellers, whether using a real estate agent to list their homes, or whether they are handling the sale themselves, are wise to protect themselves by � lling out in detail the Seller’s Property Disclosures for residential properties sanctioned by the Colorado Division of Real Es-tate. � is form, which can be down-

loaded from the division’s website, has become more detailed every year. For the most part it protects both the buyer and the seller from any surprises.

Even so, certain rules regarding disclosures need to be followed if the seller wants to avoid being sued for failure to disclose known prob-lems with the property. As a general rule, the buyer and the inspector the buyer hires are expected to note problems that are obvious, known as patent defects, such as obvious cracks on the basement � oor. � e problem comes in when there are latent defects, or defects that are not obvious that the seller failed to dis-close, such as past water problems, leaks, hidden mold, or basement cracks which are covered up by car-peting.

Problems can arise when the seller discloses, or fails to disclose, something that may or may not af-fect a potential buyer’s decision on whether to purchase the property. For example, if one of the parties that lived in the home committed suicide, or died of cancer, or was murdered, or abused his or her chil-dren. � ese and similar issues will e� ect some purchasers’ decision to buy, but not others, because they are subjective, and really have noth-

ing to do with the condition of the house. Colorado law, speci� cally C.R.S. 38-35.5-101, protects a real estate broker who does not make these disclosures from lawsuits, but does not protect the seller. Disclos-ing these matters might be pru-dent for a seller to avoid problems down the line with buyers sensitive to those and similar situations that don’t a� ect the physical condition of the house but could have psycholog-ical e� ects on certain buyers.

Another tricky area is when a home inspector claims the home has a structural problem and the buyer terminates the contract based on that � nding. Assume that the seller

then hires a professional engineer who � nds there are no structural problems and that the house is struc-turally sound. Should the home inspector’s opinion be conveyed to subsequent potential buyers or not? One of the items on the Colorado Division of Real Estate’s website questionnaire is “Written reports of any building, site, roo� ng, soils, or engineering investigations or stud-ies of the property”. � is suggests that any such condition needs to be reported, even if overridden by a more competent professional, since a professional engineer is in a better position than a home inspector to determine the structural soundness

of a home. Tricky, but probably the � rst report should be disclosed and then followed up by the report of the professional engineer.

Bear in mind that the only mat-ters that need to be disclosed are those within the knowledge of the seller at the time he or she is pre-paring the disclosure statement. � e latest version of the disclosure statement is extremely detailed and covers most areas that could pres-ent problems for a potential buyer. To be safe, as a general rule, when in doubt, disclose, even if it hurts. Speci� c problems, such as mold, ter-mites, radon, and lead-based paint will be discussed in later columns.

separated in foster care.There just aren’t enough fosterhomes to keep them together.This leaves them sad, anxious

and confused and they feellike it’s “all their fault.”Give the Gift of Hope--

Become a Savio foster parent.

The crinkle of wrapping paper. The smell of fresh baked cookies wafting from the oven. The chatty in-laws. The lights. The traffic. The crowds. And yes, even the pine needles that seem to lodge themselves deep into the carpet. I love every aspect of the holidays!

For me, there is no other time of year more magical than the holiday season. Things that would normally send me into a “Grinch”-type tailspin, don’t seem to bother me as much during the holidays. I think a large part of it is the Christmas spirit, but I think more than that, the subtle scents of gingerbread, vanilla and pine somehow remind me to count my blessings, and remember how fortunate I am to have a family that loves me unconditionally; friends

that encourage me; and a job that not only inspires me, but challenges and motivates me.

The holiday season of giving has only just begun for some, but in meeting with many of the fabulous investors of The West Chamber, I can say with certainty that there are many individuals in our community that “give back” regularly throughout the year. Their hard work deserves to be recognized; Jefferson County would not be the fabulous county it is without their incredible dedication!

This year Chamber staff and members of the 2013 Leadership Jefferson County Class had the pleasure working with Mag Strittmatter, Executive Director for The Action Center, and her team who led hundreds of volunteers in helping feed more than 2,600 Jefferson County residents during their annual Thanksgiving Distribution Drive. Mag, has worked tirelessly since 2006 serving more than 28,000 individuals each year who are in the need of food, shelter and basic human needs.

Ernie Witucki, a retired resident of Jefferson County, gives via his civic duty and his service to the Lakewood-Foothills Rotary Club. In addition to serving as the Event Chair of Jefferson County’s Sesquicentennial Celebration in 2011, Ernie helped establish Lakewood’s State of the City event and has led the charge organizing the event over the last few years.

Laura Locke, an attorney in Jefferson County, volunteers her time by working with a variety of at-risk kids and teenagers. She has a particular passion for assisting teenage victims of human trafficking and has recently spent time helping one such victim find a new home.

There are so many wonderful, giving people in Jefferson County that fortunately for us this list of recognition could go on for pages! But let me not forget to recognize the many wonderful volunteers who support the Chamber; from our Board members, to the many different committee members and of course, our Ambassadors.

So this year, as you gather around the dining table with friends and family to give thanks, please join me in thanking those individuals that work tirelessly to support our great county day after day, year after year.

Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated!

Blessings to you and yours this holiday season,Brian

Tis' the season for giving

Ralston Valley falls to Cougars in 5A semis Cherokee Trail takes control in second half By Daniel Williams [email protected]

AURORA - When you get to the semifi -nals of the state tournament it is not neces-sarily the best team who wins, it is the team that plays the best who goes home a winner.

And while No. 2 Ralston Valley looked great in the fi rst half of their 5A state semifi -nal game Saturday at Legacy Stadium, No. 3 Cherokee Trail was better in the second half winning a grind-out 17-10 contest.

After falling behind 10-0 in the fi rst half it was sheer domination for Cherokee Trail in the second half. Ralston Valley was physi-cally dominated and outgained 138-78 in total yards in the fi nal two quarters.

“Not a lot of people besides our own kids thought we were capable of going the things we did this season,” Cherokee Trail coach Monte Thelen emotionally said. “It is a really special moment for our players and program.”

Cherokee Trail senior Sherman Thomas rushed for 111 yards on only 11 touches which included an unbelievable 80-yard touchdown run to start the second half which turned out to be the game-winning score.

“We know all about Valor (Christian, who they will face Saturday in the 5A State Championship Game), but we are going all the way,” Thomas said. “We got such a great team and everything it takes. We’re winning it.”

Moreover, because Cherokee Trail’s of-fense controlled the clock so well, methodi-cally moving the ball down the fi eld the en-tire second half, Ralston Valley had only two total second half possessions. And both of those possessions ended with unsuccessful fourth down conversions attempts.

Ralston Valley took a 10-0 lead and dominated the early action of the game. However, Cherokee Trail made several ad-justments defensively and then completely fl ipped the momentum of the game scor-ing 17 unanswered points and holding off a good Ralston Valley (11-2) team with great second half defense.

“We came out with a ton of intensity in the fi rst half were good but the momentum completely turned and we just were never able to get it back,” Ralston Valley senior Spencer Svejcar said.

The difference in the comeback wasn’t just Cherokee Trail’s stout defense in the second half it was their offense who man-aged to score a touchdown with just six sec-onds left in the fi rst half.

Cameron Smith scored from 10 yards out after a 97-yard drive cutting Cherokee Trail’s defi cit to 10-7 and Ralston Valley went into halftime up only three points af-ter dominating most of the fi rst half action.

The score looked like a simple 10-yard touchdown but Cherokee Trail used the score as the key momentum turning event of the game and Ralston Valley was never able to regain their intensity.

“Our effort was there, I am happy with our effort today but in games like this you have to continue to make plays and we didn’t make enough of them today,” Ralston Valley coach Matt Loyd said.

Ralston Valley sophomore Andrew Win-gard scored a 1-yard touchdown in the fi rst quarter and then the Mustangs managed to block a fi eld goal to keep Cherokee Trail off the scoreboard.

The Mustangs would add a second

quarter fi eld goal and looked like they were headed to the state championship game. But Cherokee Trail scored right before the half seemingly sucking the life out of Ralston Valley’s sideline.

Cherokee Trail would carry the momen-tum from their late fi rst half touchdown into the early second half and on the fi rst play from scrimmage in the third quarter Sherman Thomas broke an 80-yard touch-down run – and Ralston Valley’s spirits.

The Cougars scored 14 points in 21 seconds, but it might as well have been 50 points because Ralston Valley was never able to get back into the game.

“This wasn’t the way we wanted to go out and we just didn’t do enough to win the game,” Wingard said. “But we had a great season and a lot to be proud of.”

Cherokee Trail (12-1) will now play in their fi rst ever championship as a heavy un-derdog against the juggernaut that is Valor Christian (11-2) for the 5A state title Satur-day at 2:30 p.m. at Sports Authority Field. It will be the fi rst ever meeting between the two schools.

Girls basketball previews 2011-12 By Daniel Williams [email protected]

CLASS 5 A

Bear Creek BearsCoach: Danielle Carey* Game plan: Just like their boys, Bear

Creek girls’ hoops is a struggling program. They fi nished at the bottom of 5A Jeffco last season (1-22, 1-15) and while their record wasn’t very fl attering they played hard the entire season. And that hard work is expect-ed to playoff tenfold, perhaps in the form of ten wins. While it might seem like a stretch to from one win to 10 wins the Bears maybe the surprise team in 5A Jeffco this season. Bear Creek returns four of their fi ve lead-ing scorers including leading scorer Amber Gray. Gray, along with junior Courney Vig-il, will have the duty of putting Bear Creek basketball back on the map.

* Extra point: Watch out for the Lady Bears. Not only will they be much improved this season but over the next couple sea-sons. They have a pair of sophomores in Hunter Worthey and Edina Krusko who have a ton of talent and look to take the Bears back to the promise land.

Lakewood TigersCoach: Chris Poisson* Game plan: This is the year for Lake-

wood girls’ basketball. Last season they fi nished third in 5A Jeffco (16-8, 11-5) and looked on the cusp of becoming special. Two of their fi ve league losses came to Ralston Valley who fi nished ahead of them in the standings. But this season is expected to be different. The Tigers returned all four of their leading scorers, and three of those four averaged over nine points per game last season.

Junior Jessica Brooks led the team in scoring (10.7 points per game) and re-bounding with (8.6 rebounds per game) and now as a team leader those numbers will increase. The Tigers have designs on winning a league title not only this season but perhaps next season as well.

* Extra point: Head coach Chris Pois-son will have the opportunity to fi nish what he started four years ago when he took this program over. His teams have improved over the past three seasons and this season his team has the goods to be great.

CLASS 4A

Alameda PiratesCoach: Shar James* Game plan: It has been a tough couple

seasons for Alameda girls’ hoops. They have won only eight total games in the last two seasons, but that just means the team has nowhere to go but up. Alameda fi nished second to last in 4A Jeffco last season (3-20, 0-10). However, after looking like they may go winless last season, they surprising won their three fi nal games of the season, all in the 4A Jeffco League Tournament. The Pi-rates beat Arvada, Summit and Englewood to wrap up their season and hope to carry that momentum into this season. They have two of their three leading scorers re-turning in Lina Deng and Rebecca Roybal,

and a good supporting cast of underclass-man. This group is looking to change the culture of Alameda girls’ basketball.

* Extra point: It wouldn’t be a giant sur-prise is Alameda wins double, if not triple, the amount of victories this season then they had last season. Double digit wins is not out of the question for this team and it will be their goal.

D’Evelyn JaguarsCoach: Chris Olson* Game plan: League champion and

regional champion are nice titles to have, but not as nice as state champion. D’Evelyn girls’ basketball team fell one win shy of winning that state championship last sea-son, falling to Air Academy in the title game. D’Evelyn went undefeated in 4A Jeffco (23-4, 10-0) and caught fi re the second half of the season reeling off 17 straight wins. But they didn’t get that fi nal win and this sea-son they would like to take care of that un-fi nished business. The Jaguars have two of their three leading scorers returning, which includes Laura Tyree who also led the team in assists last season (four per game).

* Extra point: It will be hard to again match all that D’Evelyn accomplished last season but they defi nitely have the tools to make another deep run the state tourna-ment. Head coach Chris Olson has been one of the best in 4A for a decade and will need to be at his best in order to maintain his team’s elite status.

Golden DemonsCoach: Mike Mendoza* Game plan: Just as the boy’s did last

season Golden’s gals made a run to the Great 8 of last year’s 4A state tournament before falling to No. 1 seed Pueblo West. The Demons aim to improve on their fourth place fi nish (18-9, 5-5) in 4A Jeffco last season, but they will have to do it with-out graduated Kylie Santos. But collectively Golden believes they can over that loss. Last season they used a deep rotation of talent to keep the team fresh and this season will be no different. Their deep bench and stout defensive effort has helped take a team that just three years ago was 6-17 and into one of 4A Jeffco’s best.

* Extra point: Junior Haley Blodgett will have the opportunity to turn her nearly seven rebounds per game (team leader) into double-digit rebounds per game this season. Blodgett also recorded 29 steals last season. Her inside presence and gritty play could dictate how physical of a team that Golden is this season.

Green Mountain RamsCoach: Beth Thom* Game plan: After hanging around

the .500 mark over the past couple seasons Green Mountain girls’ basketball is ready to take that next step. The Rams fi nished seventh in 4A Jeffco (11-14, 4-6) last season but that doesn’t quite tell the entire story. Green Mountain lost seven games by single digit points last season and they were com-petitive in almost every game they played. And head coach Beth Thom now hopes her team is better for it. Led by senior Grace Mueller the Rams have eight players who were all rotational players from last year returning and the goal this season is to fi n-ish among 4A Jeffco’s leaders and qualify for the state tournament.

* Extra point: The Rams were one of four teams stuck in the middle of their of their league standings, looking up at the top of teams. If they want to join the party at the top this season they need to fi nd a way to win close games. 15 wins is the goal for Green Mountain.

Wheat Ridge FarmersCoach: Meg Schwiesow* Game plan: Wheat Ridge girls’ bas-

ketball could go in one of two different di-rections this season. After fi nished right in the middle of 4A Jeffco’s 11 team league last season (13-11, 6-4), they have expectations to take a step forward and fi nish near the top of their league.

But it won’t be easy. The Farmers lost fi ve seniors to graduation, along with 30 of the 53 points per game they averaged last sea-son.

But players like senior’s Natalie Ross-Smith and Tiffany Ramos have been wait-ing in the wings for their opportunity to step up and lead the Lady Farmers. In ad-dition, keep your eye on junior Erika Land, who by the end of the season could estab-lish herself as the team’s go-to player.

* Extra point: The Farmers are bringing back a good group but quite a bit of talent to graduation. That means a couple play-ers, perhaps from junior varsity, are going to have to come out of nowhere and make

positive contributions to the team.

CLASS 3A

Je� erson SaintsCoach: Rosa Maes* Game plan: Sometimes you can feel

and see a good team on the verge of becom-ing great. That is exactly what is happening with Jefferson lady hoops this season. After fi nishing last season sixth in twelve team 3A Frontier (10-12, 3-8) the expectations this season is to compete for a league title. The Saints return their three leading scor-ers who all chipped in at least seven points per game last season. Led by senior Krys-tee Trejo who averaged nearly 12 points per game last season the Saints have the oppor-tunity to produce their best product in a de-cade (and they had a 19 win team in 2008-2009). Trejo has senior Kalyn Olson getting her back. Olson’s nine points per game av-erage is expected to greatly increase now that she is a senior leader.

* Extra point: This program has gone from four wins two seasons ago to double-digit wins last season. The goal this year is to compete among the best. And next sea-son they could even be better. Sophomore Carrina Wilson (eight points per game last season) is an example of some of their up-and-coming young talent.

D’Evelyn’s Laura Tyree puts up a shot against Air Academy last season.

Boys basketball previews 2011-12

By Daniel Williams [email protected]

CLASS 5 A

Bear Creek BearsCoach: Zach Morris* Game plan: Bear Creek boys’ basket-

ball has fallen on hard times. They won only one game last season and fi nished at the bottom of 5A Jeffco (1-22, 1-15).

Second year head coach Zach Morris (also the head football coach) has the task of rebuilding a once proud program that has won only fi ve games in three seasons.

The Bears lost fi ve seniors to graduation but return their second leading scorer ju-nior DJ Miles.

If Miles can take his eight points per game average to double digits and get con-tributions from players like junior Gunnar Runkle and senior Tyler Kipp the Bears have the opportunity to get out of the base-ment of 5A Jeffco and start a path towards respectability.

* Extra point: It looks like it might be another tough season for Bear Creek. But they have put a foundation in place and over the next couple seasons the team should dramatically improve.

The goal for the Bears this season is to get to double digit wins.

Lakewood TigersCoach: Daryl Johnson* Game plan: Last season Lakewood

boys’ basketball would win a couple games and then follow it up with a few loses.

They just couldn’t fi nd consistency and get over the hump against the elite teams. They fi nished sixth in 5A Jeffco last season (10-14, 6-10), but they were also young and inexperienced.

This season they return their entire core, led by senior Nermin Kozic. Kozic was one of the better players in 5A Jeffco last season, sporting a 19.8 points per game average. Kozic, along with junior Evan Ordorisio (eight points per game last season) look to take Lakewood from the middle of the pack to top dogs. Their goal this season is to fi n-ish as a top three team in their league.

* Extra point: Second year head coach Daryl Johnson will be tested as much as his players will be this season. This team has a chance to make a statement and make some noise, but that means it is Johnson’s job to physically as well as mentally prepare his team to take that next step.

CLASS 4A

Alameda PiratesCoach: Rex Terry* Game plan: Alameda boys’ basketball

has gone from four wins three years ago, to nine wins two years ago, to double-digit wins last season. Does that mean they make a jump to 15 wins this season? We will have to wait and see, but all signs say that Alame-da is going to continue to trend up upwards.

The Pirates fi nished seventh in 4A Jeffco last season (10-13, 2-8) right in the middle of the pack. But to become pack leaders this season Alameda must take that next step and become more completive with the elite teams in their league.

That means guys like senior Nyang Reat and junior Morwail Arou will have to take their individual games to the next level in order to help carry this team.

* Extra point: Alameda had three dif-ferent “Reat” family members on the team last year but lost one to graduation. The rest of the Reat’s will need to help chip in after the loss of Rajohn Dixon who led the team last year in scoring and rebounding.

D’Evelyn JaguarsCoach: Troy Pachner* Game plan: After a run to the Great

8 last season D’Evelyn boys’ basketball has only one goal this season: win a state championship. After fi nishing atop 4A Jef-fco last season (22-3, 10-0) longtime head coach Troy Pachner is returning his best unit since his 2004 title team. Senior Luke Stratman and his over 24 points per game return to lead one of the deepest teams in

4A. Stratman, along with senior Connor Skelton, look to keep the Jaguars on top of 4A Jeffco. D’Evelyn lost a handful of role players from last year’s team, but they have a history of being able to reload and remain competitive. The question for the Jaguars this season is can they go from Great 8 to fi nal four - or better?

* Extra point: D’Evelyn certainly has the goods to again be great this season. But in order to win it all you have to not only have meat on the roster but also some po-tatoes to go along side. That means players like sophomore Grant Witherspoon (5.5 points per game last season) will have to take their games to the next level.

Golden DemonsCoach: John Anderson* Game plan: Last season Golden boys’

basketball grinded through a tough regu-lar season schedule and were barely a .500 team before getting red-hot in the 4A Jeffco League Tournament. They then parlayed that into a run to the Great 8 in the state tournament. The Demons fi nished fourth in 4A Jeffco (17-10, 6-4). However, this sea-son will present a new challenge for Golden.

They graduated three of their four lead-ing scorers from last season but coming back is senior Austin Rickard. Rickard av-eraged 13.4 points and seven rebounds per game last season, and those numbers are expected to greatly increase now that he will be `the man.’

Head coach John Anderson will lean on Rickard and senior Tyler Olson to lead an inexperienced roster to another strong sea-son.

* Extra point: Golden graduated six se-niors - all key role players - from last year’s team. That means this year’s team does one of two things: Struggle or overcome losses with underclassmen and try to turn the run they made in the state tournament into an-other great season.

Green Mountain RamsCoach: Derek Van Tassel* Game plan: Green Mountain came out

of nowhere last season not only qualifying for the state tournament but winning their fi rst round game against Glenwood Springs.

They fi nished fi fth in 4A Jeffco (15-9, 7-3) and were a force against everyone they played the entire season. But now, after their successful campaign, they will no longer be able to sneak up on their op-ponents. In addition, they lost six senior to graduation, including leading scorer Ryan Stephan and his 21.8 points per game.

Steven Lorenzen will be the guy who is looked upon to maintain Green Mountain’s new level of raised expectations. Lorenzen averaged nearly 10 points per game last season but will need to increase that num-

ber this season.* Extra point: The Rams went from .500

team two seasons ago to 15-9 last season. If they want to maintain their level of play from last season they will need underclass-men to step up and fi ll the holes left by graduation.

Wheat Ridge FarmersCoach: Tommy Dowd* Game plan: Wheat boys’ basketball

team is tired of single digit win totals and wants to get back to the days when Farmers’ basketball was a force.

They fi nished near the bottom of 4A Jeffco last season (7-16, 4-6) losing mul-tiple close games due to lack of late game execution. The Farmers lost four seniors to graduation but bring back a core that should make them hard to beat. Senior Noah Brookman is tabbed as the team’s new leader but he will have help in the form of senior’s Mikey Miller and Danny Allen. The trio of seniors will lead Wheat Ridge but how far they are able to lead them is get to be determined.

* Extra point: Longtime head coach Tommy Dowd has the task of coaching up a team that has the opportunity to take a big step forward this season. They lost fi ve games by single digits last season and if they can steal a couple of those types of games this season they should get to double digit wins.

CLASS 3A

Je� erson SaintsCoach: Tony Sangaline* Game plan: Jefferson’s athletic pro-

grams have had a resurgence this season and the same will hold true for their boys’ basketball team.

Despite fi nishing at the bottom of the 3A Frontier league (2-18, 1-10) they lost only two seniors to graduation and return their four leading scorers.

Although the team has fallen on hard times over the past few seasons just a half decade ago they were one of the best teams in their league. If they have designs on get-ting back to the top junior Manarrez Ozniwill take them there. As a sophomore Ozni averaged 10 points per game last season, as well as fi ve combined assists/rebounds.

But he will have some help in the form of junior Deloach Dontae and senior Miguel Calderon.

* Extra point: This season could be a stepping stone for what could be their best season since 2008-2009 when the team went 21-3.

Their best players will be juniors this season, as seniors they have a chance to put something special on the court in 2013-2014. But don’t sleep on them this season.

Kozic ready to take the next step Last year’s disappointment drives Lakewood senior By Daniel Williams [email protected]

Rare is a team’s best player also its hardest worker. But also rare is a basketball player like Nermin Kozic.

The Lakewood senior averaged 20 points per game last season, but his team fi nished 10-14 (6-10 in 5A Jeffco).

The Tigers were beat in the fi rst round of the state tour-nament by a Monarch team that they felt they could have beaten, and Kozic took the loss and the disappointing sea-son personally.

“I averaged 20 points per game last season but it wasn’t good enough to help this team win games,” Kozic said. “But I wouldn’t care if I averaged 10 points per game if it meant that we won every game.”

So what Kozic did next was put his money where his mouth is. He and his teammates immediately got back in the gym and back to work.

The entire offseason Kozic and his teammates worked on their defense, shooting and simply tried to become stronger not only physically but mentally.

And while Kozic became bigger, stronger and his jumper became lethal, his leadership skills also evolved in the pro-cess.

He is the fi rst guy at practice and the last to leave. He wins every sprint and every drill. And he won’t even let poor little junior varsity score a single point during scrimmages.

“Nermin is very mature and he is defi nitely our leader,” coach Daryl Johnson said. “He likes to lead with his mouth but he also leads by example as well. He wants to win every-thing, even every sprint. We won’t even let the junior varsity score.”

Part of Kozic’s fi re and determination comes from the fact that after four years of hard work his team has the op-portunity to be the dark horse in 5A come playoff time.

“We expect to far in the playoffs this year. We expected that last year but we weren’t ready for it yet as a team,” Kozic said. “We just didn’t execute. Now we aren’t a young team anymore, we have more chemistry and the plan is to go deep in the playoffs.”

Trujillo wants to make � nal season memorable Senior believes Tigers have the makeup to be a factor

By Daniel Williams dwil l [email protected]

All the hype regarding Lakewood girls’ basketball surrounds junior Jessica Brooks, but the team’s heart belongs to senior Sabrina Trujillo.

The longest tenured var-sity member of the team now longs for her team to make a run to the Final Four in her fi nal high school sea-son.

“We have been through all the up and downs to-gether over the past four years and now we fi nally have the chemistry that we need. We all play really well together, we all know our roles and we all know what we are expected to bring this year,” Trujillo said.

Trujillo said she and her teammates recently held a meeting for goals and stan-dards. They decided that one of their goals was to win the 5A Jeffco league title.

“But that is not all we want to do. I think we should at least get to the Great 8. We have so much potential and if we play the way we know we there should be no one who can stop us,’” Trujillo said.

The confi dent but not cocky Trujillo can see an ac-cumulation of years of hard work on the verge of com-

ing together. She is one of six seniors on a team that was 16-8 last year (11-5 in 5A Jeffco) and expectations this year have never been high for Lakewood hoops.

“Sabrina is a stud. On the fl oor we follow Jessica but Sabrina is our vocal leader,” Lakewood coach Chris Poisson said. “Sabrina has not only worked on her game but on becoming a great leader. We are lucky to have a lot of good players on this team.”

Then on a team with six seniors and a junior who is

already one of the best play-ers in 5A who takes the fi nal shot for Lakewood with the game and potentially the Great 8 on the line?

“Me. I love the pressure of taking that last shot, I love that kind of stuff. I think I just have the right mental-ity for it,” Trujillo said. “It’s always the goal for me to be the best player on the team. I have been on this team the longest, I have started var-sity since my freshman year. Now it our time.”

Trujillo averaged nearly 10 points game last season and those number will in-crease this season, as well as Lakewood’s win total.
