HAVING A BLAST WITH THE PAST
Water costs could rise for residents of Arvada Average homeowner’s bill would go up by $16.80 annually By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

School’s first fall forum has low turnout Board members reach out to community about proposed bond and mill levy ballot measures
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Caroline Fuller, whose children attend Wheat Ridge High School, came away from a recent community forum about Jeffco Schools’ proposed bond and tax rate increase still searching for more information. “I’m looking for a reason to feel enthusiastic about 3A and 3B,” she said. “I want to support something for the schools, but I don’t have a warm and fuzzy about it yet.” With just six weeks until decision time, Fuller, like many residents, still are unsure about how to vote. Fewer than 20 people — many of whom were district employees — attended the Sept. 28 meeting at Wheat Ridge High School, the first of five fall community forums with the Jeffco Board of Education to discuss how the $33 million mill levy override and $535 million bond will enhance programming and opportunities for students. The bond is 3A and would provide funds for improvements and repairs to schools. The mill levy override is 3B and would provide funding to attract and retain teachers, mental health staff and help cover state funding gaps. The measures are on the Nov. 8 General Election ballot. Together, they would increase residential taxes by $49.44 a year for every $100,000 in home value. Non-residential properties would pay an additional $180.36 a year for every $100,000 of property value.
Owners of a typical single family home in Arvada will likely have to pay $1.41 more a month — or $16.90 additional a year — for water and sewer services fees in 2017. The average single-family home is considered to be 3.2 people and a yard. And the average single family drinking water bill in Arvada runs about $481 annually and $291 annually for sewage. Jim Sullivan, director of utilities for Arvada, said the average single-family account in Arvada uses 120,000 gallons of water each year for domestic and irrigation purposes and generates 60,000 gallons of sewage. Single-family accounts form the largest customer group in Arvada, using about 60 percent of the water. Arvada City Council heard the proposed rate increases at the Sept. 26 workshop and will discuss the proposals during council meetings on Oct. 3 and Oct. 17, also the date of a public hearing. The rates have been raised every year over the past decade. When taken separately, the proposed increases amount to 2 percent for water and 3 percent for wastewater. A 1.45 percent increase for water tap fees is also proposed. Stormwater and sewer tap fees are not projected to increase, city officials said. The increases are needed because of rising vendor prices, new equipment and materials, and employee salary raises, Sullivan said. Water continues on Page 19
PROPOSED INCREASES AT A GLANCE The average household in Arvada will see: • Water rates increase — $8.52 annually

Photo by Shanna Fortier “What we’re asking for is the ability to take control of our own destiny and get some stable funding,” said board member Brad Rupert, who was at the forum with board member Ali Lasell to provide information and answer questions. Some specific bond projects include classroom additions for middle schools related to the proposed shift of sixth grades from elementary to middle schools; and additions and renovations to gyms, weight rooms, turf fields and tennis courts at a number of high schools. “I’m a little concerned about where we’re going because we know there will be more cuts,” Lasell said, adding that Jeffco is one of 11 Denver-metro school Forum continues on Page 10

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
JILL MULVANEY Teacher, baseball lover, mom
Background I am a teacher at West Woods Elementary. I am a transplant from Wyoming into Arvada because my husband’s family lives here is Arvada. I have two children that have gone through Jeffco schools. We’re a baseball family We’re a big baseball family. I like to watch baseball. We love the Colorado Rockies. You’ve gotta route for the home team. My husband played high school baseball at Arvada West High School and then he went to the University of Wyoming — Wyoming no longer has a baseball program, but that’s where we met. He went on to play minor league baseball and he’s coached. My son has played ever since he was little bitty. He still plays, now at the University of Northern Colorado. I grew up in Wyoming and there wasn’t high school sports like Colorado.
Teaching science Science is probably my favorite subject to teach. When I was in elementary school, I don’t remember it being as hands on as it is. I love that the kids get so excited and their questions they come up with. A note for students My famous saying to kids is that cream rises to the top. You just have to keep churning and churning and churning and you will get there. So have a growth mindset that you can do it. If you keep saying you can’t, you won’t. So, rise to the top. If you have suggestions for My Name Is…, contact Shanna Fortier at sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Getting into teaching I teach fourth grade. I teach all the content areas except for social studies — I have a teammate that teaches social studies. I used to work for First Bank and I had a friend come to me and say let’s go take the secretarial test for the school district. So, I took the test, I passed it. And then I got hired at Pomona High School as a financial secretary. I worked there for two years and then they opened Ralston Valley High School. I was on the core team of opening Ralston Valley. I worked there for six years and those teachers inspired me to go to school and get my master’s in education. So i did. And fortunately, I got a job at West Woods Elementary and I’ve been there for 12 years now.

Hundreds gather to discuss health in Jeffco Health department summit took place Sept. 29 By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com About 300 people attended a Healthy Jeffco Innovation Summit on Sept. 29 at the Arvada Center. Attendees included community members, local businesses, elected officials and organizations partnering with the health department in seven Healthy Jeffco coalitions. “If we learn to listen to the people, we will get to the outcomes,” said Lynn Johnson, executive director for Jefferson County Human Services. Healthy Jeffco is a network of the coalitions working collaboratively to improve community health. The coalitions are active living, food policy, Jeffco Sips Smart that focuses on healthy beverage, health in early childhood, school wellness, preventive care and behavioral health
resources and Jeffco Thrives which focuses efforts on economic stability, public safety, education and housing. A few of Healthy Jeffco’s accomplishments in the year include conducting walk audits in communities for safe walking routes and paths, worked with farmers’ markets to implement the SNAP program, provided 113 boxes of healthy food to families at various preschools and eight schools received new water refill stations. Among the keynote speakers at the summit was Nick Macchione, director of San Diego County’s Health and Human Services Agency in California who worked on Live Well San Diego in 2010 — a health strategy and vision campaign similar to Healthy Jeffco. Jefferson County is making a big impact for the rest of the state with Healthy Jeffco, Macchione said. “It’s neighbors helping neighbors,” he said. Great things can happen when health, safety and human
services all come together. Pamela Gould, health planner with Jeffco Public Health and coordinator for Healthy Jeffco, presented some of the campaign’s data related to public health. “There’s all kinds of stories in Jefferson County,” she said. “Each of the numbers represent real people.” Like everywhere in the world, Gould said, people in Jefferson County also suffer. Although not everything can be fixed, everyone attending the summit can create some sort of change. To introduce summit attendees to the newest coalition, Jeffco Thrives, four subgroups were formed — economic stability, public safety, education and housing. “Everybody should thrive,” said Lynn Johnson, executive director for Jefferson County Human Services, adding it’s the community that can make change. “Everything in Jeffco can be done with the community, not for the community — and not for compliance, but for true outcomes.” ADVERTISEMENT
Agents Claiming to Be ‘5280 Magazine Five-Star Professionals’ Are Bending the Truth By JIM SMITH, Realtor ® Denver’s 5280 magazine is noted for its reviews of restaurants, doctors, surgeons, dentists and other professionals. But one profession the magazine doesn’t rate is real estate agents. This may come as a surprise to you because of all the real estate agents, including Realtors, who boast that they have been named “FiveStar Professionals” by 5280 magazine. How can that be? Every September, this magazine publishes a multi-page advertising supplement from a Minnesota company which claims to have received consumer nominations for top real estate agents and mortgage brokers. They then solicit those agents for display ads ranging from 1/14th of a page ($445) to a full page ($4,695). That’s according to a 2012 price list. If you don’t pay for a display ad, they just list you with no contact information. Agents who buy the display ads get to write the copy themselves, without editing by the magazine.
Do You Have Our Smartphone App?
Our smartphone app, available for both iPhone and Android devices, lists over 50 categories of service providers who have been vetted by us or our clients. They do not pay to be on the app.
It’s a win-win for everyone except buyers and sellers. 1) The magazine gets to sell a large number of advertising pages without any production costs other than printing. 2) The Minnesota company makes a lot of money on the upsells (which also include plaques for your office and the right to use the Five Star logo in your advertising), and 3) the agent gets to claim he or she is a “5280 Five Star Professional.” I’ve been writing about this scheme since 2013, because I consider it unethical and possibly illegal for an agent to represent that he or she is an honoree of the magazine, when they merely appeared in a paid advertising supplement. It would be like me claiming to be a Denver Post columnist because this column appears in that newspaper. I would never do that. Instead, I only say that I write a column which is published in the Denver Post and in four weekly newspapers, including this one. What would you think if I named certain Realtors (who paid me lots of money) “Elite Realtors” and profiled them in a multi-page advertisement in the Denver Post, and let them promote themselves as “Denver Post Elite Realtors.” That’s no different than agents calling themselves “5280 Five-Star Professionals.” Those agents who are Realtors (members of a Realtor association) are, in my opinion, violating the Realtor Code of Ethics when they claim they were “named” a Five-Star Professional by
Morrison Home Just Listed by Jim Smith & Kim Taylor Feel the love at this meticulously maintained $300,000 bi-level home at 4665 S Zang Street. It has a Morrison address, but is in the unincorporated Jeffco subdivision known as Friendly Hills. Minor updates were made to make it a more open living area for family and guests. The wood deck off the kitchen and fenced backyard are great for entertaining. It has two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs with the kitchen, dining and living room, plus a third bedroom and second bath, plus another living area with a wood-burning fireplace on the lower level. The 2-car oversized garage has a professional shop for the owner’s woodcarving business. The equipment is gone, but two work benches and shelving is included. A backyard shed with Toro mower & other lawn care items are included, as is a large woodpile for the fireplace. View a narrated video tour at www.FriendlyHillsHome.info. We’ll be holding it open on Sunday, 11 am to 2 pm. Or call Kim at 303-304-6678 for a private showing.
this highly respected city magazine which does name top doctors and surgeons. As you can imagine, the magazine expends considerable editorial resources in selecting those medical professionals before printing their names and writing their reviews. (The doctors and surgeons don’t write their reviews!) Those “Top Doctors” are profiled in the August issue, and it’s the main headline on that issue’s cover (left). By contrast, the September issue of 5280 (below) containing the Five-Star ad supplement doesn’t mention it on the cover or in the magazine’s table of contents, or even on the magazine’s website — because it’s only an ad! As a journalist, I’m upset that a magazine would permit an advertiser to trade on its name and reputation in this manner. I think advertisers should only say “As advertised in 5280 magazine.” Instead, you and I find agents promoting themselves as “5280 Magazine Five-Star Professional in 2012, 2013, 2014,
2015 and 2016!” or even “Named a Five-Star Professional by 5280 Magazine.” It’s simply a deception, a misrepresentation and a violation of the Realtor Code of Ethics. I have been complaining about this scheme since 2013 and no one has acted on it — except one Realtor who filed a Code of Ethics complaint, claiming I violated the provision of the Code which prohibits speaking ill of other Realtors. I was disappointed when the ethics panel found me guilty as charged!

Incumbent wants to stay on track for reaching goals
Commissioner Casey Tighe running for re-election
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some people describe Casey Tighe as a non-politician politician. “He’s very personable,” said Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul. “He’s not just going to tell you what you want to hear. He’ll have a conversation. He’s always willing to discuss the pros and cons of an issue with anybody.” That, Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan added, is what makes him a “gifted politician.” Tighe is running in the November election to be re-elected as the county commissioner representing District 2, which Tighe encompasses the central part of Jefferson County. Tighe, a Democrat, is running against Frank Teunissen, a Republican who is an active in the Jeffco business community with a background in the banking and finance industry. Tighe’s main reason for running four years ago was to improve the county’s financial accountability, he said. And although he believes its financial position has improved, there’s still a lot of work to do. He would like to continue a number of initiatives he started in his first term, he said. Tighe said he also would like to continue working on conservation opportunities with the Jeffco sustainability commission and help coordinate a strong relationship between preservation of open space efforts and economic development. “You need the strong business community to acquire open space,” Tighe said, “and you need open space
to attract businesses. Those two work hand-in-hand.” Tighe mentioned one accomplishment from his first term was supporting a pay increase for county employees. When he assumed the seat, employees — and particularly the sheriff’s deputies — were leaving because their pay was not competitive, he said. The raise was modest, Tighe said, but enough to help retain employees. He also serves on the board for the Jefferson Center for Mental Health. Recently, he worked with the center and the district attorney’s office to launch a new housing assistance program that helps people, who meet certain criteria set by the mental health court, become stabilized so they can gain employment and become productive members of the community. Tighe said his biggest accomplishment was developing and maintaining good relationships with municipalities and other governmental jurisdictions. “The county and the many municipalities in Jeffco rely upon each other to have strong collaborative partnerships,” said Edgewater Mayor Kris Teegardin. Tighe “has a desire of forging relationships across the spectrum of Jefferson County. He has strong relationships everywhere.” Tighe, 56, has lived in Jefferson County since 1976. He is a graduate of Green Mountain High School. He earned a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder, then completed a law degree at Creighton University in Nebraska. He has been a small business owner, an attorney and, most recently, spent 24 years as the audit director for the Colorado Department of Transportation. Sloan describes Tighe as possessing a mix of “personality, education and experience” that serves him well in his Tighe continues on Page 10
County challenger banking on business knowledge Republican Teunissen an active member of community By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Whether it be a small mom-and-pop or a Fortune 500 company, Frank Teunissen understands business relations. Teunissen is running against incumbent Casey Tighe for the seat on the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners that represents District 2 — the central part of the county. If elected, one thing Teunissen will focus on is sensible economic growth in the county. “Jefferson County is competing with all the other counties in the metro area,” he said. “I want us to be the role model for Teunissen the entire state.” To do this, Teunissen plans on working to be attractive to new businesses that bring good jobs to the county and to increase employment opportunities with existing businesses. Teunissen has been in the banking and finance industry for 28 years. In his current role as business relationship manager at Centennial Bank and Trust in Golden, Teunissen sees the challenges businesses face every day, he said. Growth and development are inevitable in Jefferson County, Teunissen said, but residents also appreciate the amenities, specifically the open space. “We’ve got the world’s biggest playground in our backyards,” he said. “I want to make sure we protect it.” Teunissen, 51, has lived in Jefferson County for 28 years. He is active in the Morse Park Neighborhood Organization in Lakewood. His parents brought Teunissen to
Family Owned, Family Run
Morrison in 1977 and he graduated from Bear Creek High School. He then served four years in the Navy. Teunissen met his wife in Chicago while he was taking courses in economics, business management and accounting at William Rainer Harper College, Illinois. The two worked at the same banking institution. In 1999, the family moved back to Colorado — specifically Jeffco — because Teunissen wanted his three sons to have the same opportunities he had growing up here. Teunissen cares for the betterment of the community, said Rick Enstrom, an executive with his family business, Enstrom Candies, who has known Teunissen for about five years. He has a great work ethic and compassion for others, he added. “He’s the kind of guy,” Enstrom said, “who, during a snowstorm, will help you dig your car out.” A county commissioner’s job is one of the hardest in America, said Enstrom, who was a Mesa County commissioner from 1978-1982. A commissioner has to be clued in to every aspect of the residents, he said. But because Teunissen is fiscally responsible and has a love for his community, he is a fine candidate for the seat, Enstrom said. Volunteering and giving back to the community is important, Teunissen said. He challenges his staff at Centennial Bank and Trust to volunteer somewhere for at least one hour a week. Teunissen was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Lakewood for three years before becoming charter president of the Kiwanis Club of Broomfield/North Metro when it formed in 2010. In 2008, he volunteered on the Jefferson County Economic Development Council, and in 2010, he was involved with the North Metro Governmental Affairs Committee. He completed The West

West Woods Elementary celebrates 20 years The Arvada school opened in 1996 By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Anne Barr, the first principal at West Woods Elementary School in northwest Arvada, it’s hard to believe 20 years have passed since the school opened its doors. Barr helped with planning the school, picking out furniture, buying books for the library and classrooms, and hiring teachers. “It’s gone by so fast,” said Barr, while standing in the entryway to the school at the 20th anniversary open house on Sept. 29. Barr retired from Jeffco Schools in 2004, but remarked on how the student population has continued to grow. “It’s just booming out here,” she said, noting the temporary
classrooms stationed out front. West Woods was built with money from the 1992 Jeffco Schools bond issue. During its first year, the school housed 375 students. This school year, 791 students call West Woods home. “That’s the biggest change, adjusting to that number of kids and staff,” said Anne Campbell, who has worked as the principal’s secretary since the school opened. “We have five classrooms for every grade now, so it’s large and it’s hard to put into words all the changes over the years.” A favorite activity for sixthgrader Brayden Schatz, also the student council president, is the school’s annual field day. But for Campbell, the best thing about the school is the people. “The staff is the most wonderful piece for me,” she said. “They are my second family.”

Feeling all partied out I have only recently started to appreciate the degree to which smart people seem to be able to see around corners and into the future. For instance, if you go back a bit to a couple seasons of “The West Wing,” those writers had entire story lines related to candidates with hidden health issues and primary seasons that led to contentious conventions. Sound familiar? Or, for instance, take the following quotes (slightly altered to fit the vernacular) from a famous American, and see if they don’t ring true today. “One of the tools of Party to acquire power, on some issues, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other issue groups. You cannot guard yourselves too closely against the inflammatory nature of these lies.” “But it is easy to predict that different issue groups will go to any length to convince you that the natural and beneficial sense of unity that binds our country and its people together, and the strength we derive from it, is an illusion.” “The mischief of Party … serves always to distract public debate and weaken good government. It agitates the country with petty envy and alarmist extremism, stirs animosity of group against group, and breeds dissension and separatism. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.” I cannot read those lines without shaking my head at the degree to which our country has walked into this trap of Party. In fact,
ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Colorado Community Media welcomes letters to the editor, including letters expressing an opinion on candidates or issues appearing on the ballot for the November election. Please keep in mind the following ground rules: • Limit your letter to 300 words or fewer. • Keep it polite: Do not resort to name calling or “mud slinging.” • Include a source for any information that is not common knowledge. We will not publish information that cannot easily be verified. • Submit your letter by 5 p.m. on Friday in order for it to appear in the following week’s newspaper. • Only submit ideas and opinions that are your own — and in your own words. Colorado Community Media will not publish any letter that is clearly part of a letter-writing campaign. • Include your full name, address and phone number. We will only publish your name and city or town of residence, but all of the information requested is needed for us to verify you are who you say you are. • If you are submitting a letter to the editor related to the Nov. 8 election, do so by 5 p.m. Oct. 21. Thank you, and we look forward to your letters.
my old friend Michael and I, whom I have written about before, have been bantering lately the idea of what it would take to break the power of the two major political parties. And, though we agree on almost nothing politically, we come together at the point of Michael Alcorn recognizing that party politics has left us in HITTING a dreadful mess as we HOME approach the November election. Consider that, according to public polling, neither Trump nor Hillary manage to crack the 50 percent mark on being suitable to be president. But, somehow, within the bifurcated camps that are the Democrats and the Republicans, these two managed to overwhelm the other aspirants for tribal leadership enough that, now, we, as a country, are stuck with two people, neither of whom most of us want to be sitting in the Oval Office. And, as if presidential politics weren’t discouraging enough, consider that over the last six months, both Democrat factions and Republican factions within the Congress have blocked legislation that would have provided more resources for the Veterans’ Administration. Resources that might have, oh, I don’t know, staffed the suicide help hot-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Walk or bike Having lived out of state for five years, and having recently moved back to Denver metro, the increase in traffic jams, air pollution and obesity over these last five years is obvious. I would like to point out some of the many advantages of walking, riding a bike and taking RTD or the train whenever possible, such as: Remaining fit and living longer with less disability. Decreased poverty and lower health insurance premiums (by avoiding early obesity-related illness and disability). Decreased horrible traffic jams, fatal accidents and road-rage incidents. Maintenance of an environment that does not sicken or kill asthmatics and others with lung disease. Having more time to catch up on work (on the bus or train) rather than fight traffic. Doing your part to avoid contributing as much to global warming and consequent anticipated coastal refugee crisis. Saving money by not owning more cars per family or group of housemates than needed. Increased ability to be appealing as a mate by staying fit via walking, running or biking to the train or bus. Alice Neumann Lakewood All for sixth-grade switch I was a public and private school teacher (mostly sixth grade) for 16 years and am now a Golden business owner in the field of education. I am also a Jeffco mom of a middle schooler and a fifth grader. In my experience as an educator and parent, sixth graders are very successful in the middle school setting. In fact, as a sixth-grade teacher for many years, I preferred having my students in a middle school setting because most 11-year-olds are ready to spread their wings, have multiple teachers and electives, take
line so that one in three vets who call in don’t have to wait on hold. Talk about “weakening good government.” And you can’t even turn on football without being reminded that certain issue groups have made it a point to emphasize the ways in which we are not united. You want to know what I find particularly sad about these prophecies? That the source of them was the one man who was strong enough to shepherd the country through its birth, to supervise its efforts to recreate a more perfect union, to bring into existence the forms of government that we have today, and who, then, walked away from power when he could have claimed it for life. He knew no Party — he was simply American. Of course, I’m talking about George Washington, who put all these verses together in his Farewell Address. Our very first President warned us of just what has come to pass today. 220 years ago, this wise and incorruptible man saw what we have become. We’ve been warned: “The miseries which result eventually lead men to seek safety in the absolute power of one individual; and, sooner or later, the leader of one Party who is stronger than her or his opponents, will use this to seize everything, on the ruins of Public Liberty.” Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His novels are available at MichaelJAlcorn.com
science daily, and learn to juggle the demands and rewards of middle school life. Yes, believe it or not, middle school can be rewarding! The key is for middle schools to ensure that sixth graders are treated differently than other middle schoolers! In my son’s Jeffco middle school, Bell, sixth graders were grouped together in a distinct part of the school to decrease travel time between classes and help them feel like they were part of the sixth-grade family. Sixth graders at Bell had lunch together and without any eighth graders. Another school in which I taught had a similar model and it worked beautifully. Sixth graders felt nurtured and safe when the school honored the fact that it is a transition year. I can confidently say that Jeffco parents and educators will enjoy having sixth graders in their middle schools for all of the reasons discussed above and more. I am thrilled that my daughter will go to sixth grade in a middle school and enjoy the same exciting year my son had. Additionally, I am grateful that my son will have had three full years at Bell growing into a knowledgeable and (mostly!) responsible teenager who is undoubtedly ready for high school. Cindy Pearson, Golden Szabo support Jeffco County Commissioner Libby Szabo is the best person to represent me on the County Commissioner’s Board because she believes in smart growth. There has been considerable revitalization in the part of Lakewood where I live and Libby Szabo supports small businesses, growth when it makes sense for the neighborhood, and she believes in policies that support economic vitality. I’ve known Libby Szabo for years and know that she’s a person of integrity. She doesn’t kowtow to special interests. Instead, she never forgets she represents the average citizen. I’m proud to be able to cast my vote for Libby Szabo for County
Commissioner. Elle Skelton, Lakewood Presidential candidate debate We felt obligated to sit through the debate, instead of the more sophisticated Sonny and Cher re-run. The Donald missed the boat by not taking advantage of Hillary’s tax-the-rich manifesto (Is anybody working for poor man?). Hillary dragged out the decades-old pejorative, “trickle-down economics” to belittle Reagan’s supply-side economics, which nearly doubled federal revenue, while dramatically cutting taxes and leaving money for people to spend. Donald didn’t direct enough shouting toward outrageous corporation taxes, the reason for migration out of the U.S. All we got were embarrassing Hilliaryisms, aimed at the economically illiterate, and a restrained, ineffective Trump. Tom Graham, Arvada Jeffco bond an incredible opportunity This November, Jeffco voters have an incredible opportunity to make a significant difference for our great school system by voting yes on Jeffco Schools 3A & 3B. Jeffco Schools 3A, a mill levy override, will allow Jeffco to offer competitive salaries to attract and retain the best teachers, increase the safety and security of our students, fund a half-time counselor in all elementary schools, and prepare students for careers and college by expanding programs such as STEM, career and tech education, art, music, and PE. The bond, 3B, will upgrade safety and security in our buildings, make long overdue repairs and improvements to 110 schools, renovate or expand 45 schools, build four replacement schools, build three new schools in high growth areas, and ensure Jeffco students have access to current technology. 3B will support Jeffco’s plan to implement a 6-8 middle school Letters continues on Page 9

configuration across the district so that all of our sixth graders can receive the opportunities sixth graders in Conifer, Evergreen, Chatfield and Golden schools receive. This includes access to content experts, accelerated math course work, daily electives including foreign language, art, music, PE and STEM-based courses. It also includes the chance to build a stronger middle school community as students are not transitioning in one year and transitioning out the next. Having taught middle school for 25 years, I know first-hand the benefits of having sixth-grade students in middle school. In the areas implementing, Jeffco 6-8 middle schools offer a positive, well-rounded, enriching experience and we want all of our students to have these opportunities. Please vote yes on 3A and 3B on Nov. 8. Ali Lasell, Jeffco School Board, 1st Vice President Trump and his tax returns Donald Trump’s taxes contain the information upon which he is basing his campaign — his claim to superior financial worth, knowledge and largess. The public needs to see the evidence! Hillary has released 39 years of her taxes. She has already had her emails extensively reviewed ... likewise, regarding Benghazi and the Clinton Foundation (“A” rating, higher than the Red Cross!) All claims against her have been investigated, mostly led by Republicans, with nothing prosecutable found on any of them! Donald’s tax returns
(requested of all presidential candidates), have been under audit for 15 years — already a red flag! After we see those, a prosecutor needs to report on allegations about Trump “University” (including the “donation” made right before a prior case was dropped) and the Trump “charitable” Foundation! Only then will Donald Trump’s vetting be somewhat comparable to that of Hillary’s! His refusal to cooperate already tells me plenty! Ray Goodhart, Golden Big fan for Perlmutter So, last week a letter writer from Arvada claimed there was some sort of “constitutional scorecard” out there that gave our Rep. Ed Perlmutter a low score for his votes on Obamacare, which Republican appointee Chief Justice Roberts said was constitutional, and on abortion, which we all know has been constitutional since the Supreme Court ruling in 1973 — Roe v. Wade. The letter writer threw out his laundry list of other stuff that didn’t seem to raise constitutional issues, more like personal ones, so guess he’d better toss that “scorecard” in the circular file. I think we are well served by our neighbor and voice in Congress, Mr. Perlmutter, even when I might not agree with him on something, so put me down as a big fan! Jim Engelking, Golden Supporting 3A and 3B right thing to do I’m voting for the Yes on 3A and 3B campaign because I’m a mother and it’s the only ethical thing to do.

education. The average school building in Jeffco is more than 45 years old. 110 elementary, middle and high school buildings will receive repairs and improvements long overdue including roofs, plumbing, electrical, lighting and mechanical; providing opportunities for students to learn in safe environments by extending the life of these schools and better utilization of facilities. Parents everywhere are paying fees that were unheard of when I was growing up. We’re selling cookie dough to fund basic necessities, an unstable and inequitable system for funding our public schools. As the parent of a middle schooler, I have to bring up the safety and security resources that are needed. Any parent with children in schools has heard of the drills our children learn, lockdown and lockout. This is our reality in 2016. Along with this comes inadequate funding and a conversation that needs to happen especially in Jeffco. Please consider this factor as an imperative need as we have an opportunity to make a difference with 3A and 3B. The district is committed to protecting their safety and security, and a review of the facilities has identified high priority safety needs at our schools that will be funded by 3A 3B. The cost of my favorite drink at Starbucks is $6.74. Taking care of all 86,000 students and more than 12 million square feet of by the buildings costs just $4.12 per month. As a mother and volunteer, I am asking that you join in voting Yes on 3A and 3B. Shawna Fritzler, Arvada/Golden

His family is having a memorial service on Saturday October 8, 2016 10:00 am at Calvary Episcopal Church in Golden to celebrate Dr. Wright’s life.

After private practice, he was Medical Director at Coors and then Rockwell (Rocky Flats). Lloyd and Lily enjoyed life in Golden and blessed many people. They were married 48 years until her Homegoing in 1988. Lloyd then married Jodie (Jo Ann Wilhelm) in May 1989. He and Jodie moved to Paonia and lived there for 24 years. They opened their home to many people. In his retirement, Lloyd enjoyed gardening, traveling and fly fishing. He was a Gideon. Most of all, Lloyd enjoyed his Family and Friends. They all were blessed by his profound love of his LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST and how he treasured GOD’S WORD. Dr. Wright’s survivors include his wife of 27 years JoAnn “Jodie”
Wright of Paonia; daughter, Natalie Smith of Scottsdale, AZ; son, Herb Wright of Lafayette, CO; daughter, Candace Olsen (Roger) of Golden, CO; two step sons Chandler Wilhelm (Laura) of Houston, TX; Quinn Wilhelm (LuAnn) of Lakewood, CO; 27 grandchildren and 27 Great grandchildren.

One-third of the mill levy override money will go toward attracting and retaining great teachers, Lasell said. “On average, our teachers are making about 19 percent less than teachers in our surrounding districts.” The reason for that, Lasell said, is because when the recession hit, teachers opted for a pay cut instead

In 2015, the teacher turnover rate for Jeffco Schools rose 6 percent over the past two years. “Our awesome veterans who are the people that trained our newbies and made them excellent teachers are leaving,” Lasell said. “But a lot of our teachers stayed because they are Jeffco-proud.

QUESTIONS FROM THE CROWD Q: How will the passing of the mill and bond affect sixth-grade shifts? A: If it doesn’t pass, the board will still be implementing the sixth-grade shift, but it will take a lot longer, Board of Education member Ali Lasell said, adding that the plan is for a two-
year transition period. Q: How will the Board of Education measure the impact of the fudn recieved from the mill levy override? A: “One of the things I would look at is competi-
tive compensation,” said Board of Education member Brad Rupert. “One of the things I want to look for is a reduction in the loss of the more experienced teachers we have. Turnover is extremely expensive, especially when you’re looking at the most trained, most experienced
people leaving.” Rupert also suggested measuring the impact by the conversion to the middle school model. “I’d like to see actual changes with what happens with the kids in the school,” Rupert said.

Pumpkin is everywhere, from lattes to pies to bread By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com
M
any people may think of pumpkin-flavored drinks and food as nothing more than the seasonal fad that comes around each fall. For others it’s simply an exalted, or sensationalized, latte flavor. But not so fast. According to Denver-metro chef Jason Morse and Arvada nutritionist Jess Sorci, pumpkin has real benefits in both the kitchen and your diet. “It’s hardy, it’s durable, it’s a good fall flavor,” Morse said. Morse has worked as a chef for 22 years. He is currently a chef and grill expert with ACE Hardware and owns 5280 Culinary. Whether cooking a bread pudding, a pie, a cheesecake, or even making a blizzard, there’s always a good way to work it into a recipe, he said. Plus, there are many ways to cook with pumpkin that people don’t often think about. Pumpkin ravioli, gnocchi or fettuccine make for great dishes, he said. In Morse’s words, pumpkin is a flavor that crosses over nicely between sweet and savory. It can also be used in a stew or pasta recipe. “I think you could definitely use it year round,” he said. His advice when cooking is to be sure that canned pumpkin is 100 percent the real deal. Or, he said, purchase a small and firm pumpkin-pie pumpkin to split and roast.
FUN FACTS ABOUT PUMPKINS • In 2014, U.S. farmers produced 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins in the top six states. • The top six pumpkin-producing states are: Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and California. • The largest pumpkin pie ever made was 20 feet in diameter and weighed 3,699 pounds. Sources: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Guinness World Records “And,” he said, “don’t be afraid to experiment.” Pumpkin’s nutritional benefits are well worth it, said Sorci, a master nutrition therapist. Pumpkin is nutrient-dense, she said, meaning it is high in nutrients but low in calories. It’s also a great source of fiber, protein, antioxidants and vitamins A and C. “I think pumpkin often gets overlooked,” she said. Antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin protect the eyes from UV rays, while pumpkin’s potassium helps lower blood pressure. According to Sorci, 100 grams of pumpkin seeds is about 30 grams of protein. Back to cooking, Sorci has some tips of her own. “You can actually use pumpkin puree in place of butter and oil in baking,” she said.
Pumpkin cheesecake By chef Jason K. Morse, C.E.C., 5280 Culinary, LLC Crust 2 cups gingersnaps, crushed 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1 stick butter, melted 2 tablespoons hickory smoked salt In a medium mixing bowl, add the crushed gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and smoked salt. Mix well until all butter is absorbed by the crumbs. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch spring form pan with non-stick cooking spray. Press crumb mixture into bottom of pan. Filling 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese 1 can pumpkin puree 4 whole eggs 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup sour cream 1-1/2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons vanilla paste 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and allow to soften for 20 minutes. Using a hand mixer with paddles beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla paste and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth. Topping 1 tablespoon hickory smoked salt
Chef Jason Morse routinely uses pumpkin in his recipes. Pictured here is his pumpkin cheesecake. Courtesy photo Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour cheesecake batter into the pan over the crust and allow the batter to settle. Place in the oven on the middle rack and cook for 45 minutes. Check the cheesecake, then continue to cook in 10-minute increments until done, approximately 60-75 minutes. Cheesecake should have a firm center with a slight amount of wiggle. Once the cheesecake is set, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes, and then top with smoked salt. Place in refrigerator to cool for at least four hours. Serve well chilled.

The not-so-scary Legend of Sleepy Hollow R Miners Alley Children’s Theatre takes on Halloween classic
We spoke to Bell and Poling about why this is the perfect show for your children this Halloween season, and here’s what they had to say:
By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
It’s not scary —
Washington Irving’s classic story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” has been a Halloween favorite since it was first published in 1820. The story has been told in a variety of mediums during the nearly two centuries since it first scared readers, and the Miners Alley Children’s Theatre is bringing the legend back to its roots in its version. Written and directed by children’s theater director Rory Pierce, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” runs through Oct. 22 at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden. Performances are at 1 p.m. on Saturdays. “I’ve loved so many of the iterations of this story since I was a kid,” said Erin Bell, who plays Dame Knickerbocker and Dame Van Tassel in the show. “Rory’s take returns more of IF YOU GO Irving’s original plot to the story.” The play focuses on Ichabod Crane, an outsider WHAT: “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” who has come to Sleepy Hollow to teach, and finds WHERE: Miners Alley Playhouse himself in competition with Brom Bones for the 1224 Washington Ave. hand of Katrina Van Tassel. Things only get more WHEN: Through Oct. 22 complicated for Crane when he learns the town Saturdays - 1 p.m. legend of the Headless Horseman. “The cast is really flexible, which is a good fit for COST: $10 children’s theater,” said Kate Poling, who plays KaINFORMATION: 303-935-3044 or www. trina. “It’s a nice, easy take on a classic story and a minersalley.com great show to get ready for Halloween.”
“Rory has really told the story in a non-threatening way for young audiences,” Bell said. “No one is going to be scared by the appearance of the Headless Horseman.” The production has a “campfire” vibe, Poling added, that is spooky at most, but nothing that would upset younger audiences.

It’s funny — “There is some wonderful silliness built into the play,” Bell said. “It’s just a fun, lighthearted ghost story for kids, with some jokes in there just for parents.”

It’s interactive — “There’s nothing like pulling a kid on stage to participate. It’s so much fun, and you never know what’s going to happen,” Poling said. “When kids are part of the theater, they get more into the story, and everyone has a blast.”

Real men wear pink Campaign raises breast cancer awareness among men
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Breast cancer, a disease generally associated with women, also impacts the lives of many men: Raymond Mencini, a breast radiologist at St. Anthony Hospital, diagnosed his wife with breast cancer seven years ago. Denver resident John Dye’s wife was first diagnosed with breast cancer 25 years ago, just one month after the couple married. Highlands Ranch resident Marvin Kokes lost his mother to breast cancer when she was 62 years old. These men are part of a new Real Men Wear Pink campaign to bring awareness about breast cancer in the community of men and raise money for the American Cancer Society. This October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — 19 prominent men throughout Denver will sport the color pink every day as well as raise a minimum of $2,500 each. The money will go towards the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Oct. 23 and, ultimately, towards research on the disease. “It’s an important cause,” Mencini said, “until we eradicate it.” About one in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer — which

means the cancer has grown into the body’s normal tissue — over the course of her lifetime, Breastcancer.org reports. In 2016, an estimated 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women, along with 61,000 new cases of non-invasive — also called in situ — breast cancer. This type of breast cancer stays within the milk ducts in the breast. Men are also at risk. In 2016, the American Cancer Society estimates about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men and about 440 men will die from the disease. “It’s not just a women’s disease,” said Cristina Johnson, community manager

GOING PINK FOR OCTOBER
WHO’S INVOLVED? Other men involved in the campaign include Ben Higgins, ABC TV’s former Bachelor; Joe Woods, defensive backs coach of the Denver Broncos; and Jim Berry, program director at KOOL 105 radio station and a breast cancer survivor. There’s also Randy Savona, mountain states regional sales manager of Cigna Group Insurance; Scott Dishong, senior director of corporate partnerships for the American Cancer Society in the Rocky Mountain region; and Pete Casillas, president and publisher of the Denver Business Journal.
In support of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, Colorado Community Media is going pink! Search this week’s paper and look for ads with pink ribbons. Each advertiser that displays a pink ribbon has made a special donation toward local breast cancer research. For more details on the pink ribbon promotion, please see the ad in this week’s paper. Colorado Community Media also will feature special editorial coverage throughout October to bring awareness about breast cancer and inspiration through the stories of people who have fought the disease. A portion of all pink ribbon sales will go toward breast cancer research.

Breast cancer typically produces no symptoms when a tumor is small and most easily treated, the American Cancer Society says, which is why it’s so important for women to follow screening guidelines:
of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. “Both men and women can be affected.” Mencini, medical director of St. Anthony Breast Center, saw a different, more personal side of breast cancer when his wife, Gail, battled it. She’s now a seven-year survivor. “It’s a passion for me that women get
• Women ages 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. • Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every two years. • And all women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any changes to a health care provider immediately.

the best, most compassionate care they can,” said Mencini, who is also chairman of the Centura Health Physician Group board. A huge part of the fight against breast cancer is attitude and having a support system, Gail said. She spends a lot of time talking to patients.
“You get this big ‘C’ diagnosis and it’s terrifying,” she said. “You don’t know what to do.” Mencini wears a pink tie every day, he said, so continuing it through the month of October will not be difficult. Dye, executive vice president and general counsel of Western Union, was 27 and newly married when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. The disease had spread to her lymph nodes and doctors gave her a 30 to 40 percent chance of survival. She’s been cancer-free for 25 years. The disease affected everything, from
having kids to their quality of life, Dye said. The couple ended up using surrogate pregnancy to have children. “It’s a challenge for spouses as well,” Dye said. “People need advice — they need advocates.” Which is why it’s easy for him to support the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, he said. Kokes, senior vice president of industry and member services for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, is shopping to expand his pink wardrobe for the campaign, he said. He’s also considering
painting his office pink. Kokes grew up on a ranch east of Sterling, about 128 miles from Denver. His mother died of breast cancer about 14 years ago. “She was the matriarch of the family,” Kokes said. “She raised six kids.” The research and effort it takes to find a cure for the disease requires money, he said. He saw the campaign as an opportunity to give back. “Cancer,” he said, “touches everyone — from all walks of life.”

Business celebrates 70 years of music Rockley Music Center adapts to changes over years By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

If there’s one word to explain the longevity of Rockley Music Center, it’s adaptability. That’s what Liane Rockley believes. She and her husband, Tobin, are the third generation of Rockleys to operate the music education and instrument service business, which has evolved in many ways over the years. So it’s fitting that when Rockley hit its 70th anniversary in February, there wasn’t any celebration because it was in the process of another change. “At that time, we were doing a transition with our departments and some product liquidation,” Liane said. “We’ve settled into our new approach and wanted to celebrate becoming Lakewood’s oldest retail business.” The business celebrated with a slew of sales in September and a 70th anniversary celebration on Sept. 30, during which longtime supporters and community leaders marked seven decades with champagne, dessert and, of course, music. “Rockley is truly a family business and has stayed that way its whole life,” said Bob Autobee, of the cultural resources firm Autobee & Autobee in Lakewood. “What is special about it is how the business has been able to anticipate a lot of different trends. It might do things that seem counterintuitive, but Rockley makes it a success.” And Rockley’s commitment to the community has inspired loyalty from Lakewood and customers, said Bill Marino, executive director of the Lakewood-West Colfax Business Improvement District. “Rockley really embodies the American entrepreneurial spirit,” he said. “It’s a remarkable story, a remarkable family and a remarkable business.” The original location of Rockley in 1946 was Colfax and Wadsworth, less than a mile from its current location at 8555 W. Colfax Ave. Founders Melvin and Mildred Rockley — Tobin’s grandparents — sold washers and dryers in addition to print music, record players, and band and orchestral instruments. “In the ‘60s, they got rid of the appliances and embraced the growing record industry,” Liane said. “Thanks to performers like Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and Elvis Presley, they also decided to create a guitar department.” The advent of such new technology as eight-tracks and cassettes in the 1970s and 1980s caused second-generation
Rockley Music Center has gone through a lot of changes in its 70 years. For many years the business carried a wide range of instruments, but has lessened its offerings to become a service business. Bob and Nina Rockley to start carrying print music and lessen recorded audio offerings. The store also started offering instrument instruction courses. “This year is also my 20th year at Rockley, and we added pianos and technology around that time,” Liane said. “In 2015, we liquidated the print music and bulk of guitar department, and now are primarily a service business.” Those services include piano repair, maintenance and moving, instrument repair and an expanded music education center. Ten years ago, Tobin created the Rockley Family Foundation with a goal to provide music education to as many children as possible. “The store has always been philanthropic, and so the foundation was a way to expand that,” he said. “The original plan was to be a local group, but we expanded nationally pretty quickly.” The foundation provides scholarships and donates instruments to music programs and children in need. It has given nearly $20 million to various programs and schools all over the country. Recently, the organization started a partnership with the school system in Atlanta, in which Rockley provides instruments and music teachers to the school with the lowest test scores. The hope, Tobin said, is the school will see an improvement in its scores as a result of adding music. “If the program is successful, organizations with more money and reach than us might embrace the approach,” he said. “In this way we could have a much bigger reach.” Last March, the business also opened a Recital Hall for school orchestras and rental, often on a donation-only basis. “You’re going to see a lot of changes in the retail world in the next five to 10 years,” Liane said. “We’re still here and providing what people need. But we’re looking to the future.”

Arvada marketplace gets makeover Leases for four new eateries have been signed By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The new owners of Arvada Marketplace, located at Wadsworth Bypass and West 52nd Avenue in Arvada, are working to spruce up the center. Pine Tree, a retail-focused commercial real estate development company with bases in Chicago and Dallas, bought Arvada Marketplace in August 2015 as its second acquisition in the Denver market. “We see a lot of value in being in that market,” said Graham Grocho-
Water Continued from Page 1
Sullivan added that over the next 10 years, water operation costs will likely slowly increase as the city prepares to contribute payment for the Denver Water Gross Reservoir expansion project. Sources of water Arvada has two sources of water. The first is a 1965 contract with Denver Water. The second source is the city’s Clear Creek water right holdings. But “these two sources will not be sufficient to meet the residents’ needs at buildout of the city,” Sullivan said. “The city has entered into an agreement with Denver Water to financially participate in the Gross Reservoir expansion in exchange for additional water supplies. This project should increase Arvada’s water supplies sufficiently to meet the city’s needs at buildout.” Gross Reservoir, named for Denver Water former Chief Engineer Dwight D. Gross, was completed in 1954. It serves as a combination storage and regulating facility for water that flows under the Continental
cinski, Pine Tree senior vice president. “When we’re finished, we hope to have a lot of restaurants and a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere.” The 370,000 square foot property was purchased from Real Estate Properties of America Inc. for or $54.9 million last year. Major retailers in the marketplace include Sam’s Club, Youfit Health Clubs, Dollar Tree, Chick-fil-A, Red Robin and Taco Bell. Sports Authority was also an anchor, but since the sports store’s nationwide closure earlier this year that space is now vacant. Pine Tree has recently signed leases with four new fast casual restaurants — Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, Smash Burger, Pi Phi Pizza and Costa Vida, which will all be on the center’s
west end. Pine Tree is investing more than $8 million in these new property enhancements. “Right now, we do still have more units we’re looking to fill,” Grochocinski said. Key components of the redevelopment include facade enhancements to existing buildings to improved curb appeal, landscaping and parking lot improvements and interior way finding signage. Pine Tree is working toward a spring 2017 opening of the renovations. “Pine Tree strives on trying to create a great experience,” Grochocinski said. “We’re hoping that consumers will have great experiences at our shopping center and want to return.”
Divide through the Moffat Tunnel and supplies water to Denver Water’s North System. The reservoir was originally designed with the intention of future expansion to provide necessary storage. With demand expected to increase in coming years, expanding Gross Reservoir will increase sustainability to the water supply as part of Denver Water’s multi-pronged approach that includes conservation, reuse water and developing additional supply to meet customers’ future needs. “We think we have enough money in the fund to avoid issuing debt for this project,” Sullivan told city council. The proposed 2017 water fund budget is $29 million, with 75 percent going toward water system operations, 8 percent for debt services and 17 percent for capital improvements. The Gross Reservoir project is the majority of the capital improvements area. The city’s current debt service is $2.2 million, paid mostly from tap fees, Sullivan said. He added that in 2020 the water bonds issued in January 2001 will be paid off. The projected increase in the operations budget for water is $656,000 or 3 percent. However, the
bond repayment in 2020 will reduce operating costs by $445,000 annually. Because of this, city staff is proposing to increase water rates by 2 percent rather than 3 percent in 2017, smoothing out future rate changes. The proposed 2 percent rate increases the water fee part of the bill by $8.52 annually or 71 cents per month. The 3 percent increase for wastewater amounts to $8.40 annually or 70 cents per month. It is expected that by 2023, the 20-year program to rehabilitate the sanitary sewer system in the city will end and the $2 million needed annually will drop to $500,000 for major repairs and maintenance. The water tap fee increase of 1.45 percent applies to new construction and would increase by $275, bringing the total cost of a single family water tap to $19,275. Staff also proposed to add a new section to the city code to explain a water decision made almost 20 years ago. In 1998, city council approved a water rate increase of 3 cents per 1,000 gallons to fund park and street median irrigation system improvements. Staff has collected funds and used them as intended, Sullivan said, but the city code was never changed to reflect the council’s intended purposes.

Breast cancer affects us all, and early detection can save lives. There is no cure for breast cancer, but mammograms can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. Every woman, beginning at age 40, should schedule a mammogram and a physical every year. Women should also perform a thorough breast self-exam once a month. Help spread awareness in your community by educating your neighbors and friends on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and encourage the women you know to schedule a mammogram today.

ARVADA — Arvada West sophomore quarterback Johnny Krutsch might very well be a symbol of what the present and future holds for the Wildcats’ football program. A-West (4-1 record) ran its current winning streak to four games with a 4114 victory over Class 4A’s Standley Lake on Sept. 30, at the North Area Athletic Complex in Arvada. Krutsch led the way with an impressive first half as the Wildcats jumped out to a 27-0 lead at halftime. Krutsch was 18-for-23 passing for 257 yards and three touchdowns after two quarters. “He is a unique individual. To be 15 years old and be doing what he is doing in a varsity game. It’s pretty special to have a kid like that who has been thrown into the fire as a freshman,” A-West coach Brad Pyatt said of Krutsch who started his freshman year. “He has gotten better and better. He has done an amazing job and I’m really excited about the future with him.” Football continues on Page 24

Why do you participate in sports? I love competing and winning. I also love how many people and opportunities get introduced through the games we love.
What is your favorite book? Why? I don’t really have one. I like a lot of books. I really enjoy John Green books, so if I had to pick it would be the “Fault in Our Stars.”
Do you play video games? Yes – NBA 2K16. I like how realistic the games look and play. It makes it much more fun! Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? Yes, I always listen to the same song right be-
What are your plans for after high school graduation? I plan to play basketball at Colorado Mesa and become a surgeon someday. “Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the west metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.
I’m wondering if anybody can remember those pop quizzes that teachers and professors used to give near the end of class. It was then I realized that maybe I should have paid more attention. Jim Benton It’s time for a pop for all casual OVERTIME quiz high school football fans. Teams will start play this week in the new football alignments for all divisions and now is the time to test the recollection of these new leagues that are used for football only. So does anybody know which league Westminster will compete in? What about Legend, Ralston Valley, ThunderRidge, Arapahoe, Heritage or D’Evelyn? These league alignments will be in place again next season in the two-year cycle, but the conference placements could all be changed again, so short term memory could be helpful. Westminster, by the way, plays in the Mount Antero League, Legend in Mount Lincoln, Ralston Valley in Mount Wilson, ThunderRidge in the Mount Cameron and Arapahoe in Mount Massive. Heritage is a member of the Class 4A Plains League and D’Evelyn and plays in the 2A Flatirons League. Class 5A has been reduced from 50 to 42 teams and the playoff field for 5A has been sliced to 16 teams. The computergenerated Ratings Performance Index will determine the nine playoff teams that are not league champions. #goodidea I couldn’t agree more with the National Federation of State High School Associations and its 51 high school associations that will celebrate National High School Activities month in October with the launch of the #MyReasonWhy campaign. #MyReasonWhy is designed to showcase the values, such as teamwork, that high school sports and activities offer to students. The campaign emphasizes that participation helps student athletes go on to be more successful in their future careers and in life. Each state association is equipped with a digital toolkit to promote this campaign highlighting high school students. Go to www.nfhs.org/MyReasonWhy to find out more. Heisman Watch Christian McCaffrey, the Stanford junior and Valor Christian graduate who was last season’s Heisman Trophy runner-up, is chasing Louisville sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson this season in the chase for college football’s most prestigious honor. In an ESPN experts Heisman watch poll of 10 voters, Jackson collected all 10 first-place votes. McCaffrey got all the second place votes. Jackson passed for 295 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals’ loss to Clemson on Oct. 1. He rushed for 162 yards and two scores, which gives him a combined 28 TDs that he has accounted for this season by passing or rushing. McCaffrey was held to 49 rushing and 30 receiving yards in a Sept. 30 loss to Washington. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

D’Evelyn freshman catcher Peyton Balbin looks to make sure runners don’t advance after Evergreen senior Kaite Solis (1) slides into home Sept. 27 at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School. The Jaguars won the Class 4A Jeffco League game 10-3.
D’Evelyn handles Evergreen in 4A Jeffco softball action to have complete games where we keep scoring.” D’Evelyn led off the game with four straight hits. Bailey Marvel, Angi Reed, Peyton Balbin and Sarah Dirks got the Jaguars rolling. Balbin went 3-for-4 with a pair of triples, a home run and four RBIs. She has proved how valuable young talent can be. Balbin tripled in the fourth and finished off the Jaguars’ scoring with a 2-run home run on a line-drive to left field in the bottom of the sixth inning to make the final score 10-3. “My expectations were just to help the team out,” D’Evelyn’s starting freshman catcher said. “This team is fun and I respect them. I wanted to get hits for them when they need it. I’m just pushing more.” Marvel provided a nice push also going 3-for-4 from the plate, which included a 3-run triple in her second at-bat in the
Jags close out league play this week By Dennis Pleuss Jeffco Public Schools DENVER — Eight was enough for D’Evelyn’s softball team Tuesday afternoon against rival Evergreen. The Jaguars (10-5 overall, 2-1 in Class 4A Jeffco) scored eight runs on seven hits while sending 11 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first inning. The big opening inning was all D’Evelyn needed offensively in an eventual 10-3 home victory over the Cougars (9-5, 1-2). “It was really nice how they attacked right away,” D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco said of the 8-run first. “Then we kind of cooled down, popped things up and was getting into easy outs. We’ve been trying

bottom of the first inning. “We came out with a lot of hits. We drove in a lot of runs,” Marvel said. “We always come out strong and then seem to flatten out.” After belting seven hits in the first inning, D’Evelyn took its foot off the accelerator. The Jaguars only had five hits off Evergreen senior pitcher Katie Solis for the remainder of the game. The only runs for D’Evelyn after the first inning came on Baldin’s 2-run inside-the-park home run. “She (Balbin) crushed it,” Porreco said. “She doesn’t act like a freshman. She is aggressive and handles herself.” Evergreen did get on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth inning. The Cougars took advantage of three walks by D’Evelyn pitcher Jamie Lefevre in the inning. Solis picked up an RBI on a groundout to first base. With only two automatic bids awarded
to 4A Jeffco, it may very well be the case that D’Evelyn and Evergreen postseason dreams will be realized or crushed by RPI points. Half of the postseason field will be made up of at-large bids to make the 32team regional playoff field. “We’ve just got to win,” Porreco said of the playoff hopes. “I feel good so far. We want to go to the playoffs and prove something.” Going into Tuesday’s game, D’Evelyn was 23rd in the RPI standings and Evergreen sat near the bubble at 30th. D’Evelyn closed its conference schedule against No. 4 Wheat Ridge (11-5, 2-1) Wednesday, for a shot at the league title.

Krutsch completed his fourth touchdown pass — 42-yard connection to senior Trevor Lepke — midway through the third quarter to go over the 300-yard mark against Standley Lake. He finished 23-for-30 passing for 334 yards and four touch-downs. “With the defense Standley Lake runs we felt like we could pass on them,” Krutsch said. “We wanted to spread it out a lot, get it to everyone and get a lot of yards tonight.” A-West sophomore Isaiah Ocana was the Wildcats’ leading receiver with 10 catches for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Senior Chase Dixon added five catches for 99 yards. Senior Joey Perez was the workhorse on the ground with nearly 20 carries and had A-West’s final touchdown on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Tony Cass had a 25-yard touchdown run on A-West’s opening drive as the Wildcats jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the first quarter. “I’m just proud for the boys. They are getting some success. I’ve told them from Day 1 that we are going to grind it out,” Pyatt said. “I’m proud of these seniors. They have stuck it out for two years and now their hard work is paying off this third season.” A-West has already reached the win total — four — it had over the past two seasons combined. “This is a start of a new A-West,” Krutsch said. “I’m just happy to be a part of it.” The Wildcats are still very young, but the nonleague wins early this year should benefit the team as it heads into conference play this week. “I’m excited to see what we can do in league,” said A-West senior James Gould, who had a trio of sacks on Standley Lake quarterback Jake Foutz. “These wins have built up our confidence.” The Wildcats host Rangeview at noon Saturday, Oct. 8, at NAAC in the 5A Mt. Wilson League opener. A-West then faces area-rival Ralston Valley at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at NAAC. A-West and Ralston Valley are actually the only two 5A Jeffco schools in the same league under the new league system this year. The Gators (3-2) had their three-game winning steak come to an end. Standley Lake did manage a pair of touchdowns in the second half against A-West. Foutz had an 8-yard touchdown pass to senior Beck Halbiesen and senior Landon Warriner broke off an 82-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Standley Lake kicks off league play at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at NAAC against Thornton. The 4A Mountain League opener is also the Gators’ homecoming game.

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”
Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer
Denver- Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain? Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake. Sounds crazy? Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life. When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again. Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state? Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy.
And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in theory exercising should help knee arthritis. But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs. Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes. Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out. You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either. What’s the answer? In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary. With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated. The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis. But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid
Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.
directly into your knee joint. This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many experts believe it helps lubricate the joint. Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain. And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with
less or no pain - specific exercises can be a tremendous help. That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain. This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results. So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse - you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse. And that’s the last thing you want to do. What are the two “smart moves?” If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic. If you are thinking about
giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technology such as fluoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections. Research shows that without fluoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work. If you have already had viscosupplementation without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 720-500-1045.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver
After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go. If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now. Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief. Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program. The SecretTo Success? The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy. Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating. This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment. And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed. What Is This Treatment? This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this... When you have knee arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.
This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most
Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”
Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of Hologic Digital Imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors. How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-
