Wulf Recreation Center conducts open house
In this, its 40th anniversary year, the Evergreen Park and Recreation District celebrated the grand re-opening of the newly remodeled facilities at the Wulf Recreation Center.
The centerpiece of the free open house was the refurbished weight room, which now features an open and expanded floor plan and plenty of new equipment, including a full complement of free weights. In addition, the Wulf Center has upgraded the second-floor dance studio, as well the multi-purpose space on the third floor.
The festivities kicked off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the weight room, followed by a full schedule of activities and demonstrations of the programs the Wulf facility has to offer.
The Wulf Recreation Center is located on S. Olive Road, behind Evergreen High School. For additional information, please contact the Wulf Recreation Center on 720-880-1200 or visit the web site at: www.evergreenrecreation.com
They are the champions!
Clear Creek Middle School girls win volleyball title
Clear Creek Middle School Gold won four straight games to capture the girls’ Frontier League volleyball championship at Platte Canyon High School.
The title capped an outstanding season for the Dusters, who also won the regular season crown, as well as the East Grand Tournament in the 8th-Grade Division. The Dusters entered the championship tourney as the No. 1 seed, but dropped a 26-24 decision to Bennett in the opening match. It was all Dusters from that point on as they bounced back to defeat Bennett 25-19 and 15-13 to advance to the championship match.
Clear Creek slipped past a scrappy Sheridan squad 26-24 in the first game of the championship match and coasted to the title in the second game, closing it out by outscoring Sheridan 14-2 down the stretch for a 25-11 victory – and the championship.
Clear Creek Blue also fared well in the tourney, finishing third in the 7th-Grade Division. Clear Creek was seeded sixth, and more than held its own in battling its way to third.
The Clear Creek Middle School Dusters are: Gold Team: Haleigh Washington, Devin Maroney, Michaela Sanders, Megan Sanders, Makayla Lopez, Kyla Ewers, Madison Firman, Shianne Smith, Ragan Whickham. Coach: Angie Thoennes.
Blue Team: Anna Schwecke, Jordan App, Divana Ball, Jayne Janowski, Gwendolynn Jones, Kaela Kalabany, Hannah Wood, Brianna Thompson, Katie Vieweg, Sara Wilson, Renee Barnes, Becca Abrahamson. Coach: Rhoada Schleicher.
Let it Snow! Loveland Ski Area got its earliest jump on the ski season in 40 years on Oct. 7, when Chair 1 cranked into motion at 9 a.m. The early opening, which is also a week ahead of last year, earned Loveland the distinction of being the first ski area in North America to open for the 2009-10 season.
“We are open for the season and we’ll be skiing until May,” said John Sellers, Loveland’s Director of Marketing.
Snowmaking and Trail Maintenance Manager Eric Johnstone and his crew took advantage of recent cooler temperatures to get a jump on their snowmaking operations. With continued cooler temps and snow in the forecast for this weekend, it is expected that additional terrain will be opening soon.
Loveland reports a solid 18-inch, mid-mountain base with, as C.B. Bechtel describes, “tree to tree coverage. We’re very proud of the product we are offering skiers today.”
As Program Director of the Loveland Ski Racing Club, Bechtel and his athletes have reason to be excited. After months of dry land training, the wait is over. “This is what we train for – to get out here and ski,” said Bechtel.
