Last week we left unanswered the question of who was the last Jeffco high school wrestler to have a chance to go undefeated in four years of grappling. North Jeffco wrestling fans probably remember that it was Tom Clum who attended Pomona from 1997-2000. He lost his last match his senior year in the state championship. On the up side, he got a scholarship to Wisconsin for his efforts.
Another quick bit of trivia: Who was the first to send a bill through the Senate at the Statehouse this year? Hints: It was a 35-0 vote; this person is one of the most respected lawmakers in the state, especially when it comes to education funding; and she’s from Lakewood. Give up? It was Norma Anderson, the Republican from Senate District 22. The bill, SB 11, reforms a program that gives tax breaks to insurance companies.
And from the spam that fills my e-mail box everyday comes this lovely item:
“Get a dergee from a natoinal unviesrity!”

Philadelphia Eagles
Carolina Panthers
New England Patriots
Well, I saw the Pats and Panthers take it to their opponents Sunday, so the field has been narrowed.
I had no sooner agreed to speak at the Jefferson County Republican Women’s meeting next month when a notice appeared on the Jeffco Republican Party Web site noting that Bob Ross was the invited speaker. I hope no one is expecting the deceased painter or someone with a large crop of curly black hair. I fall short in both of those categories. Should be a fun talk.
