Sewer rates to increase next year Metro charges Thornton more, city passes on cost By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com Thornton residents will see a 3.5 percent rate increase for sewer in 2014. With the passage of the 2014 budget, City Council approved the rate increase during its Sept. 10 regular meeting. This increase is reflects the only increase in the revenue side of the budget, said City Manager Jack Ethredge. “The 2014 budget does not call for any increases in sales use or property tax,” he said. “There are no water rate or tap fee increases. There are no fine or fee

increases included in this budget either. There is one increase in the sewer rate of 3.5 percent that results from an increases in charges from the (Metro Wastewater Reclamation District) that is passed through the city to its customers.” Metro increased its charges to the city for treatment processes, and the city is passing on that cost to the residents. Metro increased its charges to 4.5 percent. An increase of 3.5 percent will result in an average monthly residential bill increase from $18.66 to $19.31. There are no water rate increases for 2014. Council unanimously approved the 2014 budget, which includes pay increases, 13.5 new staff positions and a significant

amount of funding dedicated to capital improvements that were deferred during the recession. Total budget for all funds totals $198,183,702 — which is almost $13 million, or 6 percent, less than the 2013 budget, Ethredge said. Of the larger funds in the budget, the Water Fund saw the largest decrease — going down by 38 percent to more than $40 million from the 2013 budget of $65 million. Ethredge said the decrease is due to the city funding several reservoirs that it was in the middle of constructing in 2013. The largest increase in the budget comes in the Governmental Capital Improvements Fund, up 25 percent from last year’s allocation. The city has set aside $16 million for capital improvements in 2014.

Northglenn Mayor Joyce Downing faces opposition during the Nov. 5 election for her seat by Ward IV Councilman Gene Wieneke. Downing said she has accomplished much in the past four years as mayor — including ongoing development projects like the Webster Lake Promenade at 120th Avenue and Grant Street and the revitalization of Wieneke the Garland Center with the Walmart Neighborhood Market. “Our current development and redevelopment projects will bring enhanced financial stability to the city, Downing and I want to be there to make sure that every opportunity that comes to Northglenn is evaluated and pursued in order to respond to our citizens’ needs,” she said. Wieneke said staff does a good job running the city, and that the elected leadership needs some encouragement to provide oversight, guidance and initiative to the process on behalf of the residents. “The council deserves a mayor that will remember that the position is one of nine and for the staff, one that they can respect for not meddling in their operations,” he said. Among his top priorities if he is elected as mayor are maintaining revenue stream, protecting residents’ lifestyles and property values and increasing police patrol of the neighborhoods. Downing also cited maintaining a balanced budget and supporting the police department if she was reelected. Also on her list of priorities were other redevelopment projects. “High on my list of priorities is business retention and economic development citywide, but especially the vacant Albertson’s on Huron,” she said. “We also need to develop a long term and short-term strategy with the owners of the Marketplace.” Downing has lived in Northglenn since 1969. She and her husband have six children, 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Downing was appointed to serve as Ward II councilwoman in 1990 and

Short-term thinking blurs big-picture vision The need for instant gratification has truly compromised our ability to see beyond what is immediately in front of us. I mean in some cases we can’t even see the next three hours that are directly in front of us let alone three weeks, three months, or three years down the road. We want something and we want it now. I do agree that part of this insatiable need for speed when it comes to our wants and desires has been shaped by technology and the fact that we can access information with one or two clicks on our computer, tablet, and smart phone. But I also believe as a society we have developed a perceived need to keep up with our neighbors, family members, and our competitors when it comes to business. We want what they have and we want it now. You see, short-term thinkers limit themselves to what they can have or achieve today instead of seeing the much bigger potential of tomorrow. And whether tomorrow comes in a day, in a month, or over several years … tomorrow will eventually come. And if we live only for the things we can have at our fingertips in this

moment, we forgo the opportunity to enjoy the rewards that come by careful planning, temporary sacrifices, saving, being patient, and willing to earn and wait for the things that will provide enjoyment and security in the future. Near-term thinking or seeking is driven by an attitude of impatience. Big-picture visioning and pursuing is driven by a goalsoriented and results-focused attitude. The student will make a decision to blow off a homework assignment today in exchange for a good time tonight. The unemployed person will stop sending resumes and applying for the position they truly want because they were not offered a job today. The person seeking to lose weight or im-

Richard Pilicer, 63, pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor negligent animal cruelty and was sentenced to two years probation Sept. 19, in Adams County Court in connection with the confiscation of 121 Havanese dogs at his property in Watkins in July. Pilicer also continue mental health treatment and pay $6,003.32 in restitution for the cost of treating some of the dogs. The dogs were fed, but many of them were

matted and in some cases the matting had obscured their vision. Prosecutor Jordan Lubeck said in court that Pilicer’s acts were not intentional but he had become overwhelmed by the number of animals and neglected their care. Most of the animals were adopted after they were removed from the property by Adams County Animal Control. Pilicer was permitted to keep two dogs as his pets as part of the resolution of the case. Pilicer was initially served with 13 citations of animal cruelty.

the buckets is filled with more goals than the other two. This is a good thing, as it will bring awareness to where our current focus lies. The next step is to go back and make sure that there is some level of distribution in all three buckets. Once we have taken the time to identify and prioritize our goals into these categories, we will begin to see and internally own the road map for our personal success. This is easier than we think; it only requires some time and thoughtful consideration to get started. And there is no time like the present to get started. How about you, is it about instant gratification or are you willing to put in the time, hard work, patience and sacrifice necessary to realize your goals and dreams? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, because when we get our heads and hearts around what our long-term future can possibly be, it really will be a better than good week.

prove their physical fitness will avoid the gym because the pounds are coming off too slowly or their endurance or strength is not improving rapidly enough. There are countless scenarios where the shortcut and partial success are rationalized by the acceptance of fractional achievement of what we really desire. Our choice to accept the “almost-win” always seems easier at first, but ultimately leads to a life filled with “woulda,” “shoulda,” “coulda” thoughts and regrets. Of course there are activities and tasks that require short-term thinking and immediate actions. However, when we allow everything we do to be driven by the near term, it is so easy to lose sight of the big picture. So what do we do about this instant gratification epidemic? The first thing we need to do is to adopt an attitude of patience and big-picture visioning. The second thing we need to do is to identify our goals. And as a best practice, categorize each goal into one of three buckets: near term, mid-range, and longterm. The first time that we go through this exercise we will probably notice that one of

County assesses flood damage By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com As Adams County residents affected by the recent flooding deal with the aftermath of the rain, so are officials in the county. Parts of northern Adams County were affected by the flooding including Riverdale Golf Course and the Regional Park. Rich Neumann, communications manager with Adams County, said the gulch that runs through those two areas caused flooding and erosion in several places including the newly created reservoirs between the Regional Park and 120th Avenue. The Regional Park shop was also flooded as well as the Riverdale Golf Shop. “All combined, the county’s estimated damage at the Park is about $637,000. This figure does not include any damages at the golf course — only the Regional Park,” he said. “The Golf Shop is still determining their damages.” Even after slowed rain in the past few days, Neumann said parts of Colorado Boulevard between State Highway 7 and 168th Avenue remains closed due to significant damage to the road surface and foundation. Additional damage also occurred at retention ponds, parks and trails, but according to Neumann, flood damage was not widespread in any particular part of the county. “Damage occurred in small pockets,” he said. “It is hard to compare different entities as we are still performing assessments.” As for the cost facing the county in terms of road and bridge damage, Neumann said the county is estimating around $400,000 for repairs, which is only a preliminary cost estimate as teams are working to gather more information to compile a more comprehensive estimate.

From Sept. 18-21, disaster assistance was provided to flood victims in Adams County at the Commerce City Recreation Center. The assistance included information on how to apply for FEMA disaster relief, information on temporary housing assistance, home repair resources, flood damage assessments and insurance information/assistance. Photo courtesy of Adams County Facebook For residents needing repairs to their homes and property, the county hosted a disaster assistance center from Sept. 18-21 at the Commerce City Recreation Center. Neumann said so far 454 people have registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, for assistance and

approximately 100 of those people visited the disaster assistance center in Commerce City. He said all flood victims, regardless of whether or not they have insurance, should register with FEMA. For the next 30 days, FEMA is offering in-person assistance at a

disaster recovery center every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the South Adams County Fire Department, 4711 E. 69th Ave. in Commerce City. People can also register with FEMA by visiting www.disasterassistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-3362.

They can dish it out at food fest Chamber of Commerce holds 12th Annual taste event By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com People will get a chance to taste popular menu items from more than 30 restaurants and beverage providers in the region Oct. 2 during the 12th Annual Taste of the Chamber. Metro North Chamber of Commerce’s event will be 6-8 p.m. at the Denver Mart Expo Hall, 451 E. 58th Ave. “It really is a food fest,” said Deborah Obermeyer, the chamber’s president/CEO, adding that the event gives the community a chance to experience the best of what the region has to offer. “There is no need to drive deep into Denver for a night out on the town or a day with the family. We have fantastic options right here in our area.” The Taste of the Chamber originally began as a way to bring the community together and recognize emergency responders after 9/11. Fire, police and other emergency workers will get complimentary tickets to the event. Obermeyer said the chamber continued the event after the first one because it helps gain exposure for the vendors that participate. It has become a premiere event that

attracts an average crowd of about 3,000 people. “It brings the community members together for a night of great food, drinks and networking,” Obermeyer said. “We are here to support the business community through these types of events.” Along with unlimited tastes of various dishes, there will also be a DJ and an opportunity for attendees to purchase surprise boxes with different types of gift cards. Some of the vendors that will be at the Taste are El Jardin Mexican Restaurant, Fox and Hound — Westminster, Baker St. Pub & Grill, Beer by Design Brewery, Atlanta Bread Company, Baker St. Pub & Grill, Hideaway Steakhouse, Kachina Southwestern Grill, Marco’s Pizza, Old Chicago, Sweet Tomatoes, Taziki’s Mediterranean Café and Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery. Advance tickets are $25 through Oct. 1, or $30 at the door. Children 12 and younger are free. To purchase tickets or for more information, call Amber Kirchmer at 720259-2432. “The support we receive from this event helps position the chamber as the unified voice of the Metro North region and helps the chamber to continue to operate and advance the business and economic interests of the Metro North community,” Obermeyer said.

More uses OK’d for former Target site Car washes, indoor amusement allowed now By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com

Thornton City Council has taken anothr er step in an effort to redeveloped the foro mer Target site at 104th Avenue and Washat ington. is Council unanimously approved by an are 8-1 vote during its Sept. 10 regular meetavid ing to amend the permitted use to allow for r vehicle sales, service and storage, car wash eers. and indoor commercial amusement (such will as a bowling alley). Ward 1 Councilman Mack Goodman cast the dissenting vote nn/ without commenting on a reason. The site is about 15 acres of land south of East 104th between Grant and Washington streets, north of the Quail Ridge Apartments.

The intention of expanding the permitted use is to improve the marketability of the site. The city has been trying to secure a developer for the property for 13 years. The city demolished the former Target building during the spring and in June, rezoned from community retail to planned development to allow for a wider use of the land. Current planning manager Mike Mallon said there are two uses that are allowed with planned development that were not allowed with the community development zoning — multi-family residential and office warehouse uses. The planning development allows up to 25 dwelling units an acre for a residential project. The planned development design has four individual parcels with roughly seven pad sites. “All those pad sites are conceptual in nature — all those lines may be blurred, combined, erased depending on specific devel-

opments that come in,” he said. The city also closed the Park-n-Ride as of July 1 for safety reasons as crews continue to prep the site for a developer. Another change in the amendment was reducing the minimum building and parking setbacks to the southern property line from 25 feet to 20 feet for buildings and from 15 feet to 10 feet for parking. “This reduced setback will expand the amount of useable area of the property

D12 seeks volunteers for finance committees By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com During the Sept. 18 Adams 12 Five Star Schools board meeting, the school board discussed a potential finance committee as an additional resource to the district. Behind the effort was board director Norm Jennings who presented information and suggestions to the board. After looking at other school districts and doing some research, Jennings said he came up with the idea to have one overall committee made up of two subcommittees. No members of staff or the board would be part of the committees to ensure there is not influence from staff or the board, Jennings added. “District residency is a plus, but not required,” he said. “We are just looking for people to meet experience and credential standards.” The full committee would have a variety of task including reviewing and commenting on mill and bond requests, providing recommendations on major investments and budget priorities and providing feedback on financial and strategic impacts of potential legislation. The audit and financial oversight subcommittee would be a minimum of five members and would focus on independent reviews of charter school finances, make recommendations on budget models, process and control improvements and review the internal auditor’s work. “This committee would have at least three people who are from non-school district entities,” Jennings said. “We need to have input from multiple sources so

we have a good chance of coming up with good stuff.” The second sub-committee would be the strategy and investment advisory committee, also made up of five people with at least four from the private business sector. Members’ focus would include the independent review of reserve fund investments, provide recommendations for improved efficiency and improved innovative educational opportunities as well as make recommendations on new initiatives such as purchasing a digital platform for education modules. “We want to add new people to look at our system from a different realm and make sure what we are doing will pay off for us,” Jennings said. “Do we want greater graduation rates or better CSAP scores? We are trying to find people to help us justify some different things.” During the meeting, the board decided to have Jennings continue his work by now heading out into the community to find people willing and able to sit on the committees. Board president Mark Clark said he believes there are community leaders out there who would volunteer, depending on how much time is needed for the position. “We need to get out and reach out to people because we want their opinion,” he said. “We need to find out what this community wants or thinks.” At this point the board is not voting on any kind of committee, just beginning the process of finding out the interest people in the community may or may not have in the committee. For more information or for those interested in serving on a committee, contact the board office at 720-972-4007.

that can be developed and will still exceed the minimum setbacks in the City Code for retail zoning districts,” according to a staff report. The amendment also increased the number of signs for the tenants. Now each pad site is allowed a freestanding monument sign and one freestanding multitenant identification sign will be allowed on each street frontage of Grant, 104th and Washington.

opinions / yours and ours

Time for a new turn of phrase The Jeffco Schools school board line-up will be decidedly different following the results of the next election. As we reported earlier this month, two of the board’s incumbents — Paula Noonan and Laura Boggs — have chosen not to run. And a third incumbent Robin Johnson will not be running due to relocation outside the district. So board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman — each who are in the middle of first-terms — will be joined by three newcomers. Glad to say Dahlkemper and Fellman exhibit the type of solid leadership needed for this sea change, and the district itself stands sound. Jeffco is the largest school district in the state; it tallies test scores higher than state average and has an impressive number of option and charter schools in its boundaries — providing plenty of options for its

our view district’s students. Further, voters gave the district a vote of confidence approving a bond issue and mill-levy override in 2012. Unfortunately some board interactions haven’t exceeded any standards in our gradebook, and have in fact been at times distracting and disappointing. Who can forget that board member Laura Boggs was censured twice? The gravity of the words she spoke to put herself into hot water can be debated interminably, but the incidents were considered disruptive enough for the board to slap her hands, and agreement in the

question of the week

Do you back federal flood help? We asked people attending the Celtic Festival in Edgewater last weekend: With storm and flood damage across Colorado estimated at more than $2 billion, should the federal government help cover the bill? To what extent?

“Absolutely, as much as we possibly can.” Pat McKenna Lakewood

“Yes, comparable to other disasters in other states.” Betty Jo Page, Wheat Ridge

“They should. That’s what we pay for with taxes. My question is where the money is going to.” Carol Warren Aurora

“It’s already broke, so why not! Maybe we could back off of some foreign aid for the money.” Steve Mode

community resonated. And Noonan took heat for a rambling graduation speech at Dakota Ridge High School in 2010. To her credit, she acknowledged her extemporaneous skills were not the best that day. In sum, the tone of the board has at times been too chippy, in spite of board chair’s efforts. We were tempted to let these instances fade from memory, but we were stirred by comments from Boggs and Noonan in a story we published this month that indicated they did not feel their views have been as validated as they should be as board members. We disagree with them. Instead, we simply say their views were heard, and we value the comments they made — often raising concerns that were researched by Jeffco staff. With a new day just around the corner, here’s our pitch for the candidate-elects-

Seize the day, or it may seize you If you listen really closely, you might hear something. Shhh ... yeah, there it is. “WHEW” That, my friends, is the sound of Ryan Cleady’s agent. For those of you who don’t listen to sports talk regularly, you may not have heard that Cleady, the Denver Broncos All-Pro left tackle, is out for the season after suffering a Lisfranc injury, a somewhat bizarre kind of foot injury. And the reason for his agent’s big sigh of relief is that Cleady agreed to terms about two months ago on a five-year deal with the Broncos that guarantees him $33 million. Cleady had the option of playing out this year under a one-year, roughly $10 million contract, and then testing the free agent market next year. If he’d had another great season, he might have made even more money than he will with the Broncos; on the flip side, a bad year (say, one ended early by injury) might have resulted in a big pay cut, and there’s actually some chance that he won’t return to great form from this injury. In other words, Cleady took a gamble that the wonderful option on the table in front of him was better than the possibilities in the future. “WHEW” Sort of the exact same sound anybody along the front range who bought flood insurance three weeks ago is making today. Not to be confused with the sound the non-insured people make when they find

out that the funds released to Colorado by the feds will not be available to individual homeowners. But that’s a story for another day. I don’t mean to, in any way, conflate the tragedies that families are dealing with all up and down the front range with the injury suffered by a football player. But it’s odd that there’s a common lesson to be drawn from these events. How many basement remodels were on hold, waiting for “just the right time” to get started when the flood waters blew through? How many back yard re-soddings and front yard xeriscapings were in the planning stages when Boulder Creek turned yards into wading pools? How many block parties were in the “we should do that” phase when the Big Thompson obliterated any sign of blocks or streets? We silly humans have this crazy idea

Just because I’m right … right? e

I can be quite snippy when I’m right, although I sometimes hesitate to tell others to correct their behavior. But when I do speak up, it’s because I’m right. ten To the people leaving door-hanger ads ng in my neighborhood: “If you put those care there, it looks like I’m not home because I come in through the garage.” nTo the folks who fill the Dumpster with and moving boxes: “You’re supposed to break oa those down.” a To the kids on Manitou Incline: “Your emmusic is loud and annoying.” Let me explain that one. e I climbed the Manitou Incline recently can — 2,000 feet of elevation gain straight e of up for three-quarters of a mile. The day ady was hot, dry, clear, dusty, exhausting, e and exhilarating. I was delighted with my strength as both the sun and I crept e inhigher, and I relished the different vistas king the Manitou Incline was revealing step by 2,200 steps. Then I heard it — an ill-mannered backbeat not prudently and appropriately

contained in headphones, but booming impudently from the pack of a college-student-looking girl climbing past me. Clearly the cacophony was for the questionable benefit of her three companions, and also, I was sure, an obvious violation of the nature code on the trail. I grumbled about inconsiderate these people to my hiking partner, who tried to talk me down, but I charged up to the obnoxious group that had paused above us. “I’m not usually one who tells others what to do,” I began sanctimoniously. “But your music is seriously interfering with my

A September song Ah! September! My favorite month of the year followed by October, a close second. Soon it will be time to head to the pumpkin patch at Rock Creek Farms near Broomfield and survey fields of the beautiful orange pumpkins. At least I hope that they weren’t ruined in the muddy fields. What a shame that would be to see a year’s worth of growing destroyed by the very commodity that gave them life.

Back to September

I have some sheet music for the piano and it’s called “September Song” with music by Kurt Weill and words by Maxwell Anderson. Because I like September so much this music stays on the piano all year long. The refrain goes like this, “Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December, but the days grow short when you reach September. When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame, one hasn’t got time for the waiting game. Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few, September, November. And these few precious days I’ll spend with you, these precious days I’ll spend with you!”

The rest of the story

And now I learn on the 50th anniversary of former president John F. Kennedy’s death that it was also his favorite song, and he sang it solo frequently at family gatherings. There’s a new book out called, “These

experience here.” I waved my hand around to illustrate just what experience they were interfering with. “It’s really loud. And it’s annoying. If I had ear buds on me right now, I’d give them to you. All of you.” Their expressions went from apathetic to incredulous. The guy in the group retorted as people do when confronted with an unconceivable situation from a stranger, “Oh, yeah? Well maybe you should wear headphones.” “I’m not listening to music.” I pointed out the obvious. “So, have you ever heard of noisecancelling headphones?” His question was a self-righteous challenge that heated me up even more. Their music, though, had faded, so I stomped on up the steps, shaking my head the way people do when disgusted. Later, I wished I’d had the presence of mind to deliver this snappy comeback, “So I can cancel out the noise from the sun?” That would have shut him down right

Alcorn Continued from Page 6

Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie.” It’s written by Christopher Anderson and it is a portrayal of that famous family during his brief tenure as president. I’ve read a lot of JFK books but I do believe this is the best one yet. And now that I learn “September Song” was a JFK favorite it takes on a deeper meaning for me.

All of September

Yes, September takes on a whole new meaning – one where we treasure the dwindling days of summer and the giving way to the leaves turning to flame, crispy meanings and gorgeous fall sunsets. It’s just a beautiful time of year, isn’t it? Stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.

that we have a lot of time to accomplish things, both trivial and meaningful. We have this conceit that we have control over the events of our lives and the course of human history. We are wrong. Every once in a while, this big world we live in rears up to remind us how puny we are in comparison to the forces at work around us. And, while I’m generally a fan of nature, sometimes these reminders are painful, even tragic. And, frankly, they’re becoming a bit too common of an occurrence for my comfort.

proper. Sometimes I do regret being snippy and then I feel bad about speaking up. The door-hanger people are only trying to make a living. The boxes-in-the-Dumpster neighbors are most likely exhausted from the move. I probably make others feel bad too. At least that’s what I assume from ducked heads and a mumbled “Sorry.” I remind myself again and again to just live and let live. But … music on a hiking trail? A discordant din blaring from a backpack on the Manitou Incline? Such serious noise in nature? Granted, I’ve second-guessed myself about this situation, too, because I know I felt bad afterward, and it’s possible that they did too. But this time, I’m right … right?

But they also provide us with useful lessons. Instead of a block party, I heard stories of “shovel brigades”—small groups walking neighborhoods with shovels in hand offering to dig trenches and help their neighbors. Instead of remodeling, we heard stories of National Guard pilots flying around in the mountains at night using night-vision goggles to rescue civilians. And instead of “just the right time,” maybe we’ll all now be a little more cognizant of today. Carpe Diem, friends—you don’t know what tomorrow holds.

OBITUARIES

Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former newspaper publisher. A Westminster resident for more than four decades, she and her husband, Bob, have five grown children and eight grandchildren.

Visit Camelot, smell the roses As expected, the Arvada Center’s Artistic Producer/Director Rod Lansberry delivered an unexpected interpretation of the classic musical “Camelot.” Lansberry infused a new depth of character into the entire production. To begin with, the actors were all relatively young which actually would have been the case given the short life expectancy in those days. That alone added a new energy. When they first meet, the youthful playfulness of King Arthur (David Bryant Johnson) and his intended bride Guinevere (Melissa Mitchell) is a delight to behold. Guinevere is the perfect sounding board for Arthur who wishes to create a kingdom in which there will be no conflicts. He begins with enlisting noble knights who will gather at a round table where all will be equal. Among those knights is Sir Lancelot (Glenn Seven Allen). Arthur’s desire for peace and harmony are put to the test when it becomes evident that his bride and his best friend are becoming uncomfortably close. Since they both love Arthur they face an insurmountable conundrum. Every aspect of “Camelot” is pristine. The sets, costumes, lighting, sound are impeccable. The acting/singing is splendid. And, happily for those of you who haven’t yet seen this masterpiece, the run has been extended through Sun., Oct. 6. For tickets

window. He then pulled the screen off a window and forced it open. He then grabbed the girl, pushing her to the floor. He took her cell phone and threw it against the wall.

NORTHGLENN POLICE REPORT Shoplifting: An officer responded Sept. 15 at 6:25 p.m. to Northglenn Discount Liquor at 420 E. 120th Ave. in reference to a shoplifting that just occurred there. An employee said two male parties – one Caucasian and one Hispanic – stole three or four bottles of liquor and ran out of the store. They then got into a silver sedan and left heading east on 120th Avenue. The estimated value of liquor stolen was $60 to $80. There is nothing further. Possession of Schedule II, Possession Schedule I substance – hallucinogen, possession of Schedule II substance – cocaine, sell Schedule I substance – amphetamine: A 23-year-old Fort Lupton man was arrested Sept. 11 at 12:41 a.m. after an officer on patrol observed him on West 104th Avenue. The officer noted that the man appeared to be wearing gang attire, was grasping something in the front of his

waistband, and acted nervously as he was being approached. The officer followed the man as he ran to a church parking lot and tackled him. Once backup officers arrived, a search of the man turned up 8.87 grams of methamphetamine in two bags, 1.62 grams of psilocybin, .91 grams of cocaine, 2.58 grams of marijuana, and 17 pills of hydroxyzine. There were .81 grams of methamphetamine in the man’s right cargo pocket and 2.58 grams of marijuana in his left cargo pocket. Officers also found drug paraphernalia that contained residue. The man also had a large amount of money and a discarded firearm that officers found 50 yards away. He was also wearing an ankle monitor. The man was taken into custody, processed and later transported to the Adams County jail. Second-degree assault: An officer was

dispatched Sept. 9 at 8:15 p.m. to the 900 block of West 100th Avenue in reference to an assault that just occurred. The reporting party said he and a friend were in his garage when a light-colored SUV with four or five occupants stopped briefly in front of the driveway. One of the occupants shot his friend in the side with a BB gun pellet. The vehicle then sped off as the reporting party gave chase to write down a plate number. The man who was shot with the pellet refused treatment. The officer provided dispatch with the vehicle information as well as the license plate to create a BOLO for surrounding agencies. There is nothing further at this time. Shoplifting: An officer was dispatched Sept. 7 at 10:30 a.m. to Radio Shack at 421 W. 104th Ave. in reference to a shoplifting that just occurred. The clerk was following the suspect, who had taken a $399

cell phone. Before the call, the officer had seen a male party running on West 104th Avenue toward the bus stop. Based on the description the clerk gave, the officer knew it was the man he saw earlier. Radio Shack wanted to pursue charges and gave the officer further information that the suspect could be in the 10600 block of Huron Street. Two people saw the man running and took a photograph of him. The officer took the photograph to the leasing office on Huron Street, but the person there couldn’t identify the suspect. The case is under further investigation. Items in the police reports are compiled from public information contained in police department records. Charges or citations listed don’t imply guilt or innocence, and all people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

THE PARADE ES OF HOtoM Sept 2

R

August 8

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about craŌsmanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques. The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insulaƟon than in a convenƟonal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ Ɵmes MORE insulaƟon in the aƫc. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!

Nosh, network with the ‘Divas’ Douglas County Divas holds a co-ed event on Oct. 15

I’m all about supporting women’s groups, and this Douglas County Divas networking organization sounds like a hoot. Plus, I love everything “Diva,” from “Double Divas” to “Drop Dead Diva.” The Douglas County Divas normally meet the third Tuesday of every month, giving women a chance to network and increase business contacts. But on Oct. 15, the group will be holding a special co-ed event 6-8 p.m. at The Fowl Line at 774 Maleta Lane in Castle Rock. Attendees are asked to bring “plenty of business cards.” For more information, contact Pam Anderson at 303-596-8075 or pamsgonegreen@gmail.com or Theresa Buckley at 720-280-2910 or theresa.girlsgonegreen@ gmail.com. For more details about the group, visit www.douglascountydivas.com.

Miners Alley brings back local favorite By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com

M

iners Alley Playhouse’s newest production is a local favorite, and a seminal play that was created, written and workshopped specifically for the theater. Based on actual experiences, this story takes the audiences back to the 1940s, puts them in the psychiatrist’s chair along with a young girl who is dealing with schizophrenia. “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden,” written by Walter Newton, based on Joanne Greenberg’s semi-autobiographical novel, will play at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, until Oct. 27. Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 6 p.m. on Sundays. “Greenberg lives in Evergreen and is a friend of the theater, and we worked with her and Newton on creating this play especially for our theater from 2002 through 2003, and it was finally produced in 2004,” said director Rick Bernstein. “‘Rose Garden’ was a huge experience for us, and it’s great to revisit.” The story follows Debra Klein (Ellie Schwartz) and Dr. Fried (Lori Hansen) as they

work to try to help Debra defeat the demons she is battling. Debra created the Kingdom of Yr as a form of self-defense from her reality. In childhood, she suffered frequent abuse from her antiSemitic peers while at the same time being sheltered by her over-protected family. At first Yr was a safe-haven for her, but eventually the gods of Yr became tyrannical dictators who ruled Debra’s every word and action. At the age of 16, Debra was committed to a psychiatric hospital diagnosed with schizophrenia. Dr. Fried is a revolutionary doctor, according to Bernstein, because instead of treating schizophrenia with electroshock, surgery or drugs, she approaches her patients with psychotherapy. This was an extremely controversial choice at the time. Dr. Fried is based on Greenberg’s real psychiatrist, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, who helped her deal with her issues, Bernstein said. “We decided that instead of the way we did the first production — which was a bit sensationalist, and very dramatic — and focused on Rose continues on Page 16

Denver bigwig and deep-pocket giver Larry Mizel is proud to announce that “Jewtopia,” a movie written by daughter Courtney Mizel, is out in theaters. If you are thinking about a date night with your significant other, this is the one to see, so I’m told. Courtney sent this email missive about her project: Dear Friends, “As many of you know, I have spent the past couple of years working on `Jewtopia.’ First the play at the Greenway Court Theater, and then, the movie! I am very excited to announce that the movie will be out (today) in theaters around the country as well as on VOD on most cable carriers as well as on iTunes, XBox and a number of other online platforms. “Needless to say I am very excited about this release and I would greatly appreciate your support!” The film’s cast includes Ivan Sergei, Joel David Moore, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Rita Wilson and Jon Lovitz. To see the trailer go to: www.youtube. com/watch?v=7a0zZSVeW-k. “Jewtopia” opened on Sept. 20 at the AMC Cherry Creek 8 in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.

Debra’s side of things, we would try to focus on Dr. Fried’s side,” Bernstein said. “We wanted the play to have more human form and be more movement driven.” Schwartz, who is only 17-years-old, took on the challenging task of bringing Debra to life, and Bernstein said she does a fantastic job. “I really had no idea going in what it was going to be like,” Schwartz said. “There are a lot of common misconceptions about mental health that I had to get rid of, and the we started building the character layer by layer.” Schwartz said she had a lot of help from Bernstein and the rest of the cast in creating Debara. “This show is amazing because none of us can autopilot on it,” she said. “It is so far

When bad things happen to good people Because bad things continue to happen to good people — be it through flood (fire, earthquake, illness, disease, financial reversal, accident, the death of someone near to you, or just plain bad luck), I would like to summarize how people begin recovering from a devastating loss. When a major loss occurs, you will grieve or mourn for what you no longer have, and grieving usually lasts a lot longer than you expect it to. It’s OK to be there for a while, but eventually you must find a way to make peace with what has befallen you, and come to terms with your new life the way it is right now, not the way it was. Everyone who is dealing with a major loss is faced with the same choice: allow yourself to be angry, bitter, defeated and let your spirit be destroyed, or find a constructive outlet for your emotions that is forward looking — such as creating new goals for your life, a new vision for your future or devoting yourself to a greater good. Here are some ideas about how to do that: Resist the temptation to give up. Life is about falling down and getting back up again. Talk with trusted others. If you don’t talk about it, you will feel worse. Right now, under-indulge in things that anesthetize your emotions, such as food, alcohol, recreational drugs or TV. You want to fully recover, not be emotionally numb for a long time. Pay attention to the attitudes and emotions that can sabotage you or turn you sour — and don’t give into them. I’m referring to behaviors such as lashing out at other people, letting fear or anxiety get the better of you and giving up on your dreams for the future. You must find a way to not give in to negativity or defeat, and it will not help you to push other people away. Make decisions that look out for your well-being, your happiness and your peace of mind. Your response to a crisis says a great deal about how much you believe in yourself and the value of your life. You must rise to the occasion and not let this adversity defeat you. Be in touch, on a daily basis, with your soul or spirit. Your essence. The part of you that stands above all your day-to-day concerns. The “you” that has a lifelong perspective and not just a short-term perspective. Don’t allow yourself to feel helpless or victimized. Believe in your ability to ultimately prevail, and don’t let obstacles or setbacks defeat you. Adopt the attitude:

“I will rise to the occasion and get through this.” Make yourself look for a silver lining. Find something potentially positive in what you are going through. All rebirth is preceded by loss, and transformation almost always comes from ruin. You know what you’ve lost. Now look at what possibly can be gained from this loss, or how you can use what has befallen you as a transformative experience. Develop an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving about what’s good in your life — and about what remains a blessing. It’s so easy to focus on what we don’t have, what has hurt us and what we have to be unhappy about. It’s harder to look for the good in our lives, but as you focus on the good, your mind is taken off the bad. If all you look at is the scarcity, you miss the abundance that is also in your life. Tend to your intimate relationships. This is no time to take someone you love for granted or to be ill tempered with him or her. You need warmth and understanding, you need someone to lean on and you need a warm shoulder to cry on. Ignore this recommendation at your own peril. Playing and having fun — adult style or not — reduces despair and reminds us that we’re still alive. It also keeps us connected with others, knowing that someone is here with us through the hard times. One of the powerful experiences in life is to look back, years later, and to marvel at how we got through some of the life-transforming traumas of our past. Yes, trauma has the potential to scar us. But it also has the potential to make us stronger, more generous, more productive, wiser and proud. Resolve to make yourself proud when you look back at this years later.

Northglenn soccer falls to No. 6 Rangeview Norse lose 2-1 in overtime By Kate Ferraro

kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com The Northglenn soccer team lost to Rangeview in overtime Sept. 19 at Five Star Stadium in Northglenn. Defender Juan Abundis scored the game-winning goal for the Raiders one and a half minutes into overtime for a 2-1 victory against the Norse. Rangeview improved its record to 6-0, while Northglenn

falls to 3-4. The Raiders were added to the 5A soccer poll Sept. 16 as the No. 6 team in the state. “We did very well, especially this last part of the first half and in the first part of the second half,” head coach Zadik Lopez said. “They’re a good team. They use its outsiders really well and crosses really well.” Rangeview had 30 shots on goal compared to Northglenn’s eight. Norse goalkeeper Juan Pacheco had 18 saves. “He’s the player of the game for sure,”

Lopez said of Pacheco. “He did a great job, he’s our senior captain. He stepped up to lead the team. He led that defense which stopped them a lot.” Raiders’ midfielder Alex Amador scored the first goal of the game after 10 minutes of play, giving Rangeview an early 1-0 lead. Northglenn forward Trevor Amann tied the game 1-1 off a penalty kick with three minutes left in the first half. Amann was tripped inside the 18-yard box, which rewarded him with a one-on-one shot against Raiders goalkeeper Edward Zuniga

at the 12-yard line. “Trevor did a great job,” Lopez said. “He’s our leading scorer right now. He did a good job in the middle.” Northglenn’s next match is against Adams City Sept. 26 at the Adams City Turf Stadium in Commerce City. Lopez said the Norse is preparing to play conference teams and need to work on the half back and full back positions. “We’re going to try to work on our wings a little bit and to step up on our defense as well,” Lopez said. “We’ve got a tough conference here.”

In Holy Family’s first two games of the season, the team beat the opponents 42-16 and 42-7. This week, it was the other way around. The Holy Family football team lost to the 3A defending champions Silver Creek 45-14 in front of a large crowd on the Tigers’ homecoming night Sept. 20 at Mike G. Gabriel Stadium. Silver Creek came out strong blocking a Tigers’ punt in the first few minutes of the game and forced a safety, giving them the 2-0 lead. The Raptors didn’t look back after that. “It was up there as one of the most disappointing losses we’ve had,” head coach Mike Gabriel said. “I feel bad for our kids, because they really looked forward to this game. I feel bad that it went the way it did.” The Raptors scored three touchdowns in the first quarter. Wide receiver Zane Lindsey ran for 113 yards just in the first quarter alone, helping Silver Creek to a 24-0 lead going into the second quarter. Running back Anthony Kasper also scored in the first. Kasper scored once again at the start of the second quarter, catching a pass from quarterback Ben Sjobakken. “He’s a kid that we didn’t really focus on in the film,” Gabriel said of Lindsey. “The things he was able to do surprised us, but their whole team is a good football team.” With three minutes left in the half, Tigers fullback Zach Trombley caught an interception. Holy Family pushed the ball down field in a series that would result in a field goal on the 31yard line with 19.2 seconds left. However, the field goal was blocked by Silver Creek. The Raptors linebacker Austin Hartman ran the ball 69 yards for a touchdown. Holy Family remained scoreless at halftime while Silver Creek earned 38 points in two quarters. After the half, Kasper scored once more for the Raptors on an 80-yard run, giving Silver Creek the 45-0 lead at the end of the third. The Tigers finally put some points on the board in the middle of the fourth quarter. Quarterback David

Holy Family quarterback David Sommers looks down field before throwing the ball Sept. 20 against Silver Creek. Sommers ran in the ball in himself. The point-after-touchdown was no good. With only a few minutes left in the game, Holy Family took over the ball on downs. Wide receiver Weston Dinsmore caught a pass in the endzone, making the score 45-10. The Tigers attempted a two-point conversion and were successful. But it wasn’t enough. The Tigers suffered their first loss of

the 2013 season. Holy Family is now 2-1 on the season. Gabriel said the team needs to concentrate on its next game against Berthoud Sept. 27. They will be facing the Spartans on its homecoming night. “We’re going to go back to the drawing board and start working again on Monday and focus now on the next week,” Gabriel said.

Judge denies request to change venue in Sigg case By Ashley Reimers

areimers@ourcoloradonews.com The venue of the upcoming Austin Sigg trial has been confirmed to stay in Jefferson County. The decision came Sept. 23 during a motions hearing when District Court Chief Judge Stephen Munsinger ruled to deny the defense team’s request to change the venue. The defense claimed that Sigg would not have a fair and impartial jury due to the massive amount of media attention the case has received. With the jury selection process in full swing, the defense team said after reading the initial jury questionnaires, some responses were problematic because of the people’s investment in the case. “The community was invested in the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway. People were dedicated to the memorial of Jessica Ridgeway,” said defense attorney Kather-

ine Spengler. “That’s why this community is not the appropriate community to have the trial.” But Munsinger disagreed. He said out of the 716 potential jurors, there should be no problem getting 44 people to serve on the jury and the panel. He said after reading the questionnaires he was actually surprised that many people said the extent of knowledge they had of the case did not surpass the description of the case on the questionnaires. “I believe there is no showing that there won’t be a fair trial,” Munsinger said. “I’m pleased to say that we could have a fair trial.” Opening statements are set to begin Oct. 3. If convicted, he faces life in prison with a possibility of parole after 40 years. He faces 17 charges, including murder and sexual assault. He is charged with abducting and murdering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway last October.

Officials back school funding question Amendment 66 would fund School Finance Act By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Prominent Jefferson County officials tried to convince attendees at a Sept. 21 Golden town hall meeting to support a November ballot question that seeks $950 million in new taxes to fund an overhaul to the state’s school finance system. Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson fielded questions about the ballot measure from a small audience, along with state Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, and state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, whose legislative district includes Jefferson County. The three women are backers of Amendment 66, a measure that will expand school programs and change how Colorado schools are funded. “This is one of the most important ballot measures we’ve had in a long time,” said Schafer, who also told the audience that passage of Amendment 66 is vital because Colorado public schools have lost “about $1 billion in funding over the last four years.” Amendment 66 would fund the changes to the School Finance Act that were put in place through Senate Bill 213 earlier this year. The measure would create full-day kindergarten for all Colorado students and free preschool for at-risk students. It also would provide more resources for English language learners, as well as for students who are in “gifted and talented” programs. The measure would pump more money into public schools, while creating a more equitable system by which school districts are funded, supporters say. Stevenson said Jeffco schools would get at least $71 million in new funding, if Amendment 66 passes. That would enable

the district to return to 2010 funding levels, she said. Stevenson said that Jeffco voters should not view last year’s passage of a mill levy increase as having solved the district’s budget issues. The revenue raised by initiatives 3A and 3B allowed the district to prevent significant budget cuts, but its funding still falls about $50 million short of levels from a few years ago, she said. Stevenson also said that Colorado’s tax burden would remain in the bottom half among other states in the country, even if the measure passes. And the superintendent said that it’s important for Jeffco teachers to get pay raises, something that hasn’t happened in five years. “I really feel like we have a priority as a community to say that our teacher salaries are important because we want them in our community,” Stevenson said.

A permanent tax increase

Senate Bill 213 was one of the most contentious bills debated during this year’s legislative session, and it’s one that failed to garner a single Republican vote in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. The bill was later signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Opponents say that the Amendment 66 funding measure is a nearly-$1 billion tax hike that seeks to throw money at schools, but does not put in place any true school reforms. If passed, Amendment 66 would result in a permanent income tax increase, without a sunset provision. Stevenson acknowledges that Jeffco taxpayers will pay about $114-124 million in taxes, but only between 52 and 83 percent of those dollars will actually find their way to Jeffco schools, she said. “Anybody who does the math, that’s accurate,” she said.

State Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, listens as state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, speaks in support of Amendment 66 at a Golden town hall meeting on Sept. 21. Photo by Vic Vela The ratio of taxes-to-district funding is one of the concerns that is troubling Diane Borden of Golden, who attended the town hall. “I want to make sure the money that’s being taken out of their paycheck is directly going to our schools and the needs of our district,” she said. “I just don’t believe it’s going to work as well as you’re thinking it will. I know you have good intentions.” Stevenson also acknowledged that the new funding would not mean a reduction in the amount of fees that parents pay for certain Jeffco school programs and services. However, she points out that the district has always assisted poor children with

school supplies and services. One audience member said that is the wrong time to ask taxpayers for this kind of money, given the current economy. “The economic downturn doesn’t warrant taking more of my money,” said one man, who left before the meeting ended. “We don’t have it at the moment, and I don’t see prospects of booming economic improvements in the near future.” But Pat Yingst of Golden, who is a supporter of Amendment 66, said that voters need to be thinking about the community’s future. “A big problem we have is the inability to think long-term,” she said. “It seems a lot of people do not want to think about that.”
