The 88th annual Arvada Harvest Festival parade took place Sept. 8 in Olde Town Arvada.

Organizers said about 4,500 people participated in the parade that had 113 entries. The winner of the Arvada Harvest spelling bee was Trinity Morin, a fifth-grader at Campbell Elementary. As winner she will ride in the parade next year.

The anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks is a day not only to remember those lost, but also to spur citizens to work to make the country a better place.

The city of Arvada is urging residents to use the anniversary to learn about service groups and organizations they can join as part of the National Day of Service and Rememberance.

“The people and businesses of Arvada have a long and dedicated history of giving,” said Mayor Marc Williams. “Nothing is more precious or meaningful than the gift of time and service. I hope that members of our community will create and register a 9/11 volunteer project or look for an established project by logging onto www.serve. gov and going to the Sept. 11th Initiative.”

The National Day of Service and Remembrance is the result of efforts originally launched in 2002 by the 9/11 nonprofit MyGoodDeed with wide support by the 9/11 community and leading national service organizations, according to information provided by the city. This effort first established the tradition of engaging in charitable service on 9/11 as an annual forward-looking tribute to the 9/11 victims, survivors and those who decided to serve in response to the attacks.

“Though the initiative is on a national level, we’re really encouraging it locally,” said Arvada Communication Manager Wendy Forbes. “We found the idea behind this compelling because it focuses on a more proactive response to the attacks.”

Forbes said there are so many great nonprofits in Arvada and the surrounding areas that need helpers, so it’s important to help them as often as possible.

In addition to www.serve.gov, the city recommends using metrovolunteers.org, justserve.org and volunteermatch.org to find a way to help out in the community.

“We think it’s a great idea to turn the anniversary into a day of service and giving,” Forbes said. “It’s so forward looking, and that’s something we really value.”

Push is on for pot taxes Capitol rally urges voters to approve 25 percent levy

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Supporters of a retail marijuana tax initiative held a Capitol rally on Sept. 4, urging Colorado voters to back pot sales taxes to ensure that the newly created industry “pays its own way.”

The rally served as a campaign kickoff for Proposition AA, which will ask voters to

give the go-ahead for retail pot to be taxed at 25 percent this fall, with the revenue going toward school construction and support for industry regulation.

Retail pot sales will soon become a reality in the state, thanks to last year’s voterbacked passage of Amendment 64. The Legislature passed pot regulations earlier this year, but voters still must decide whether they will support the taxes needed to fund retail marijuana rules.

State Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, who played a key role in crafting Amendment 64 legislation, said that unless voters back the pot taxes this fall, “we will have to do one of two things: Take money from education Pot continues on Page 19

Departing Noonan, Boggs express frustrations Board members disappointed with discussion and transparency issues

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Two Jefferson County school board members who are not seeking re-election this fall blame communication issues and personality conflicts that they feel exist within the body as reasons behind their decisions to not seek second terms.

In separate interviews, Jeffco Board of Education directors Paula Noonan and Laura Boggs listed several areas where they felt the board’s work was out of step with the desires of community members.

And Noonan and Boggs blasted their fellow board members for making them feel as if their voices were being ignored.

“I don’t think I had the support of my other board members,” said Noonan, who represents District 5, which covers the south end of the county.

“I felt that made it very difficult for me to be productive.”

Boggs, a conservative District 2 board member who represents the west and mountain area of the district, echoed Noonan’s concerns.

“Your vote doesn’t count unless it’s in the majority,” she said.

Boggs also said that the board isn’t transparent in many policy areas and that the community’s input isn’t being valued.

But Board President Lesley Dahlkemper took issue with those assertions.

“I strongly disagree with the view that we haven’t asked for community input,” she said.

When asked to discuss whether there were any personality conflicts on the fivemember board, Dahlkemper opted for the high road.

“As board members, we don’t always see eye to eye,” she said. “But we have pretty rigorous discussions.”

Noonan said that the board is dealing with “many contentious issues right now”; chief among them being inBloom, a student data collection system aimed at helping teachers better personalize instruction.

However, detractors of inBloom — which the district hopes to pilot beginning in the 2014 school year — cite security and

privacy concerns with the new system.

Noonan said during the interview that “the board does not have nearly enough input on the mission of the (inBloom) project” and that “the community needs to weigh in on that.”

Through a letter that she recently provided to Colorado Community Media, Noonan expressed concerned that parents don’t know enough about inBloom, and neither does the school board.

“Apparently, parents who want to stay out are going to have to leave the district, seek private school, or do homeschooling,” Noonan wrote. “Not great options for parents in a public school district.”

Boggs is no fan of inBloom either. And one of her biggest areas of concern over the board’s workings is that there has been “a lack of transparency” on issues like inBloom or the district’s teaming with LoudCloud Systems to provide an instructional data system.

“Despite the promises of running on transparency, what I saw on the board the last two years was a shutdown of community conversations,” Boggs said.

That’s just not the case, said Dahlkemper. The board president points out that the board has overseen forums on issues like inBloom, student achievement progress, and the annual budget, where community members can become more familiar and more engaged with issues.

Last month, the board held a study session that included a panel of educational experts from both sides of the inBloom debate.

And Dahlkemper points to a recentlyadopted community engagement policy, which states that “the board’s policies and decisions should reflect community values, good educational practice and available financial resources.”

Dahlkemper cites outside praise on issues regarding transparency from groups like the Independence Institute and the Center for American Progress.

“To say that we’re failing in transparency and community input is just wrong,” Dahlkemper said.

Voters will decide on three open seats on the board this fall: Boggs’, Noonan’s and District 1 director Robin Johnson’s, who recently resigned from the board because she had moved out of the district.

Neither Dahlkemper nor District 3 Jill Fellman is up for re-election this year.

Backpacks of food Arvada Food Bank program keeps children fed over the weekend

The Arvada Food Bank is greeting the new school year with it’s Feeding the Future Backpack Program.

The program is in its eight year, and provides food for the weekend to students at some of Arvada and Wheat Ridge’s top free-and-reduced lunch schools: Allendale, Arvada K-8, Fitzmorris, Foster, Thomson, Kullerstand, Lawrence, Pennington, Stevens and Swanson.

Homeless children at Parr, Peck and Secrest are also participating in the program.

“We’re going to be serving 1,166 students and that number will be going up,” said Jeff Gage, and accountant with the food bank and co-coordinator of the backpack program.

“It takes a few weeks for parents to get organized, so we’re preparing for more.”

Students can sign up throughout the year if they need to, and likewise, if their family situation changes and they don’t need the program, they can stop receiving the food as well.

According to Mary Ross, co-coordinator of the program, the idea came from the fact that many students rely on school for

breakfast and lunch, but during the weekends they don’t have access to that food.

“We don’t have enough food to give them to last the whole weekend, but it definitely helps, and families are able to share some of it,” Ross said.

Each Friday afternoon students receive two breakfast items, two lunch items, two snacks, one fresh or canned fruit and one canned vegetable. All the food gets put in plastic bags, which then go in the students’ backpacks.

All the food that the food bank uses is purchased from the Food Bank of the Rockies, and arrives at the Arvada Food Bank on Wednesdays. It is sorted into piles for the respective schools, and on Thursday mornings someone from the school comes and picks up the food.

Ross and Gage said that the program has really been embraced by the Arvada and Wheat Ridge communities, and all kinds of groups have come out to show their support in various ways. Groups like rotaries, optimists, Kiwanis, churches and police and fire departments have all contributed to the program. Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s office regularly sends volunteers, as well.

“It only costs only $100 to cover a child’s food for an entire year,” Gage said. “We’re so grateful to the communities for helping us, because we couldn’t do this without them.

No one wants to see children hungry.”

The film was followed by a surprise performance by FourEver Fab, a Beatles tribute

band from Denver.

The fest runs until Sunday, Sept. 15, with a free screening to “Mile … Mile & A Half” as a conclusion to the fest. The film by Jason Fitzpatrick and Ric Serena follows five friends as they conquer California’s historic John Muir Trail over the span of 25 days during a heavy snow year.

“One of the themes for us internally is to really have the festival be a place of gathering and of community for folks to come,” Gardner said. “We just try to do our best to try and set the table for that.”

Golden’s own American Mountaineering Center which will house some of the film presentations this year is coincidentally tied to one feature short “Keeper of the Mountains,” by Allison Otto and sponsored by the American Alpine Club. The documentary profiles Elizabeth Hawley, who has recorded and archived every climbing expedition to the Himalayas for the past 50 years of her life.

It’s a “prime example of what document films can do and that’s give us the unexpected,” commented Gardner on the film short.

When Hawley passes away, her archives will come to Golden and be stored at the American Alpine Club library located at the American Mountaineering Center and will be available to the public for research.

“This is a phenomenal addition to our collection,” said Elizabeth Surles, American Alpine Club library director. “She’s a remarkable woman,” said Surles about Elizabeth Hawley.

There are a total of 21 shorts films that will be packaged together instead of shown separately.

Included in these packages are exclusive documentaries written and directed by University of Denver students.

The DocuWest website provides a list of films from feature to shorts that will be played during the 2013 festival at various locations. Some films to note include State of Control for those seeking a political suspense thrill and insight in cyber security, the latest threat posed to U.S. national security. Directed by Christian Johnston of Evergreen, and Darren Mann, the film captures their intent to record protests against the Chinese government in China and Tibet.

They soon become the targets of China’s invasive secret police who follow them through China, and eventually back home to the U.S. “A Will for the Woods,” is a touching and inspiring portrait of psychiatrist Clark Wang’s battle with lymphoma and his preparations for death and a funeral through his wish of a green burial, a popular topic and method of burial today sparked by the green burial movement.

“The Castle Project” is a ghostly thriller by Brian Higgins, Denver filmmaker and architect, who records his renovation to a notoriously haunted hotel.

If pressed for time and unable to attend any of the films that will be featured at the DocuWest, their website is still worth checking out to write down some film titles.

According to Gardner, contact info for filmmakers at the documentary’s website is easy to get, and they will usually send you a copy of their movie.

“That’s actually how I find their film a lot of the times,” Gardner said.

Construction near completion at Rocky Mountain Metro airport Buffer zone helps for a safe landing

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Rocky Mountain Metro Airport is undergoing construction to meet safety standards required by the Federal Aviation Administration for the airport’s main runway, 11L. The project has proven to be a doozy, requiring the movement of State Highway 128.

“We are in the middle of a two-phase

project that is improving safety area to the west of the airport’s primary runway,” said Kenny Maenpa, Metro Airport director.

“Currently the runway safety area is 600 feet in length off the end of the runway, and we require a total of 1000 feet of safety area to meet safety standards of aircraft that are currently operating at Metro Airport,” Maenpa said.

In the event a plane is not able to stop by the end of the runway, or a plane taking off does not reach high speeds in order to lift off before the runway ends, the safety area will act as a buffer to help prevent drastic consequences.

The safety area will not be paved but

graded flat to prevent a plane from inflicting significant damage to the property or to the plane itself.

It is a two-phase project, but the good news is, phase one of the project which includes relocating State Highway 128, is 90-percent complete.

The second phase, which involves removing the existing retaining wall, and building out the safety area or buffer zone will require dirt taken from several sources around the airport, with majority of the earth coming from west of the intersection of Simms Street and State Highway 128.

Officials anticipate the project to be complete by December 2013 with some

minor touch-ups in 2014.

“We’re still going to have come back in the spring and seed the new slope,” Georgiann Dewey, airport development manager said.

“There’s going to be a reinforced soil slope that is 80 ft. high, so it’s a native landscape that blends in with the area.”

“Jviation, CH2M Hill, Kelley Trucking, and American Civil Constructors have done an absolutely fabulous job,” Dewey said.

For more information on the project, go to www.flyrmma.com. Any questions can be directed to Georgiann Dewey at 303271-4893 or gdewey@co.jefferson.co.us.

Finding clarity on pot a taxing process More than 10 months after Colorado voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana use and sales, confusion reigns.

Sure, passage of Amendment 64 last November made a few things clear: Possession of up to 1 ounce is legal. People under 21 years of age may not purchase pot. It remains illegal to smoke marijuana in public places.

But a couple of the most basic questions still need to be answered: Where can one legally buy it? How much will it cost?

The first question is being explored

by Colorado’s cities and counties. At this point, few Denver-area municipalities have opted to make retail sales legal, instead taking a cautious, wait-and-see approach.

Some — like unincorporated Jefferson County — have already decided to outright ban retail sales. It’s possible most of

our view Colorado could follow suit, leaving the state with a handful of “marijuana islands” where pot is legally sold.

The cost question is largely in the hands of the state’s voters. On top of whatever price point the marijuana market dictates, there will be taxes, and in Colorado, that means voter approval is needed.

A recent rally at the Capitol in Denver urged approval of a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent sales tax on the retail marijuana industry. If the state’s voters approve Proposition AA in November, money from the taxes would reportedly go toward

school construction and regulation of the marijuana industry.

In general, we support approval of this proposition. It helps ensure the marijuana industry will pay for itself, and helps schools, to boot. But we do wonder if too many taxes could lead pot customers to turn back to the black market.

The 25 percent statewide tax from Proposition AA would be in addition to whatever taxes local municipalities’ voters approve.

Denver, for example, is asking residents to say yes to a 5 percent tax. The total tax toll of 30 percent could lead to an unaffordable product in what figures to be the state’s largest marijuana-selling zone.

Having customers once again turn to the dealer down the street would be a clear example of the law of unintended consequences. But we feel taxes may be the only

way to keep the retail pot business from being a burden on Colorado, something the medical marijuana industry has been over the last few years. The state will have to bank on people’s willingness to pay the price for legality.

Even after the issues of where to buy and how much it will cost are officially answered, there will remain plenty of gray areas. For example, many people are uncertain if they will get fired from their jobs if they partake. Others aren’t clear on how much they can smoke and still legally drive.

Truth be told, it may take years — and more than a few legal challenges — before all the answers are in. But this November’s election and the actions of local governments in the months to follow should add important measures of clarity amid the lingering cloud of confusion.

Dealing with heartbreak What do you do once your heart breaks?

And not the sort of heartbreak that Taylor Swift writes songs about every couple months. I’m talking about the sort of profound, existential heartbreak that makes you wonder if the human race is worth saving.

What do you do with the story of Anthony? Anthony is a little boy stuck in Colorado’s foster care system. One week last summer, he went to Royal Family Kids Camp, a special camp up in the mountains for kids in the foster system, and he had a really good week. Until he came “home” and found out that his foster parents had given him up during that week and his next stop was a group home.

What do you do with boys like James?

Or was it Addison? I’m not sure I ever heard it right. Doesn’t matter — we eventually were calling him “Cinderella.” This is a young man, slightly older than my own son, who my family saw last weekend as we were having a great time at Adventure Golf and Raceway (which, by the way, is an exceptionally good family outing!).

The problem of Cinderella, which became a problem for us, was that he was out “having a good time” with his mother and two older sisters, and he was the constant object of scorn and ridicule. We heard, on one occasion, mom say loud enough for everybody within 20 feet “are you a retard or something?” We also saw, later, the family sitting around a picnic table with four ice cream cones--one for each sister, and two for mom. Cinderella, understandably, looked miserable.

What do you do with the pictures coming out of Syria? No, not the one CNN decided to run with that was actually from Iraq in 2003 (“major media” credibility, anyone?), but the ones that show the bodies lined up, side by side, mothers next to children, whole families, an entire suburb.

1,400 dead, the victims of a Sarin gas attack, possibly by their own government.

Searching for directions since 9/11 Another Sept. 11 has come and gone, but the nation’s, and most of the world’s, shock and grief live on. Here’s a real-time look at what 9/11 felt like to me then and now.

Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001: Driving to work, running late. Hearing the news reports breaking into the oldies rock radio station.

Listening — breathless, heart pounding — as the description changes from a small plane hitting the Twin Towers to what’s really happening. Speeding up, driving too fast, dodging other dazed motorists.

Parking my car frantically at the nearest entrance. Running up the stairs to my office and my coworkers. Scanning the shocked faces, hearing people on the telephone.

Calling my own family. Decamping with my colleagues to the conference room.

Gathering around the only television in the building. Exchanging sounds of bewilderment. Falling silent, attempting to absorb the events. Supporting those who go home to their families. Learning of AA Flight 77.

Wallowing in disbelief. Working with HR to order pizza, lots of pizza, for the hundreds

of employees in our organization. Learning of UA Flight 93. Staring, glazed over, at the television, disregarding my responsibilities.

Driving home. Running to my neighbor’s door, too shocked, too numb, to cry.

Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001: Watching in horror, again and again. Learning the extent, the significance. Trying to reach friends, or friends of friends, or family of friends on the East Coast. Imagining what it looked like to be there, what it smelled like, sounded like, felt like. Feeling fear, anger, confusion. Sleepwalking, in the daytime.

Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001: Accepting the

prions! Messes pour les victimes des attentats et pour la paix! Reading the signs in English: Special services in memory of 9/11/2001 – we pray for peace. Stopping at the banks of candles flickering in the shadows. Seeing it propped behind the warm glow against the cold stone blocks of the cathedral walls.

Recognizing the red, white, blue. Photographing the miniature American flag stapled to a slim stick. Praying for peace.

Sept. 11, 2013: Imagining what it looked like to be there, what it smelled like, sounded like, felt like. Feeling fear, anger, confusion, and profound sadness. Displaying miniature American flags stapled to a stick in flowerpots on my porch. Holding family close. Searching for a map and directions — in any language. Praying for peace.

eerie silence in the skies. Cringing when only the military jets swoop overhead.

Reading, watching, listening to the news.

Scrutinizing the lists of the victims, the rescuers, the dead, the missing. Holding family close.

Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2002: Finishing the last leg of a cycling trip through the Loire Valley. Being welcomed for the previous two weeks in French homes and chateaus.

Accepting warm hospitality. Receiving a map and directions — in French — to our chambre d’hôte when we were lost. Appreciating the gratitude of the people in France for American forces during World War II. Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2002: Arriving by train in Paris. Dragging my luggage and cycling gear down the sidewalks from the station. Pausing at newsstands where New York is burning on all the front pages. Buying papers and magazines printed in French to take home. Taking photos of smoking buildings on posters in the shops. Stepping in to Notre Dame at noon. Seeing the signs in French: Nous nous souvenons et nous

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A good question for voters

Last Tuesday, the Jeffco Board of County Commissioners held a briefing to determine whether the Jeffco 5 Grassroots group would have the opportunity at a public hearing to present a proposal that asks voters to increase the board of commissioners from three to five members on the 2014 ballot.

At present, three commissioners are voted in by the entire county. Jeffco 5 is asking that we increase the number of commissioners to five, and elect them only from the districts ant they represent. This will lower their constitufew encies to above 100,000, make campaigning tion affordable, and make for more responsive in service. hing One commissioner, Casey Tighe has demonstrated support for having this proposal ther heard. The other two, Faye Griffin and Don tual- Rosier have not. Commissioner Tighe asked more that the Jeffco 5 proposal be scheduled for a Cin- public hearing. This was rejected. A teledy phone “Town Hall” was proposed, allowing ong- those who support or oppose the effort to tion call in. This too was rejected. Finally, it was he agreed that in the near future (possibly early ot a October), a phone Town Hall — including urse but not limited to the topic of the Jeffco 5 proposal —where the county called random ing voters, was approved. This was not what Jefnt. I fco 5 had hoped for.

Since the increase in number of commissioners directly affects those on the current ng I board (dilutes their power), they should reugh cuse themselves from this decision and send ed. it directly to the voters on the 2014 ballot. If no such action is taken by the board, Jeffco 5 ing will begin a petition drive to do so. ger The actions of two members of this board ier if do not reflect a tone of responsiveness to its ore citizens. Their refusal to even allow Jeffco 5 or to be heard demonstrates a confrontational approach to citizen dissent and is highly disappointing. fitCollecting 25,000 signatures on petitions h hismay be a more difficult task than having a rom cooperative BCC put the proposal on the ty of

ballot, but it is not one that Jeffco 5 will shy from. Stay tuned for future activities of this passionately dedicated grassroots organization. It has one clear message regarding this sensible proposal: Let the voters decide!

The questions with inBloom Jefferson County school district is embroiled in a national controversy around the uses of big data in K-12 education, student privacy, technology security, and the impact of large foundations on education reform.

The district collects lots of data on students, including names, addresses, email addresses, test scores, assessment scores, disciplinary events, medical needs, and demographic and economic information.

Much of the data is scattered over numerous software applications.

Jeffco wants a system to integrate the data. inBloom, a data management platform developed by the Gates and Carnegie foundations, takes data from multiple sources, organizes it, stores it, and funnels it back to teachers through a “dashboard” system. Jeffco is an inBloom pilot partner.

Here is the controversy. inBloom will store huge chunks of personal data from Jeffco students and all students in New York State and other states in one platform on cloud servers managed by inBloom employees. Parents worry that their students’ data will get hijacked by hackers. They also wonder why all this data from around the nation will be bundled in one place off site rather than held locally so it can’t all be shoveled out at one time to who knows whom.

Parents are concerned that the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), watered down by the US Department of Education, won’t provide sufficient security to protect private information. Under FERPA rules, school districts can share student information for research or development of instructional content, without

notifying parents.

The Gates Foundation has a Secretariatsize horse in this race. The education side of the Foundation is committed to building digital content to support student achievement. The content may be derived from information gleaned from the big data contained within inBloom if districts agree to share it. Even if individual student identifiers are stripped from the data, parents may not want their children’s records used for these purposes.

Jeffco school board hasn’t provided guidance on the inBloom pilot, yet. So far, Cindy Stevenson, superintendent of Jeffco schools, has set up a Data Management Advisory Council (DMAC).

For now, many questions surround inBloom. With the DMAC operating without guidance from the board and directly

under the superintendent’s supervision, it’s unlikely that all questions will be addressed adequately before a January decision on the inBloom partnership. That decision will be made by a board with three new members elected in November.

At this time, the district is not offering parents any options to stay out of the data collection. National privacy experts recommend that the district manage inBloom as an “opt in” program. The district hasn’t even offered an “opt out” option.

Apparently, parents who want to stay out are going to have to leave the district, seek private schools, or do homeschooling. Not great options for parents in a public school district.

Curling center receives building approval State Patrol Museum will also be located near sports facility

By Amy Woodward & SKID STEERS

awoodward@ourcoloradonews. com Lakewood will be getting a new facility for a rather uncommon pastime; a whole center will be dedicated to the sport of curling. Of course, if it needs its own center, perhaps it is not so uncommon.

The Denver Curling Center will begin construction in October with design plans still pending. It will not

be the only addition to the property located west of Indiana Avenue, near Colorado Mills Boulevard. The Colorado State Patrol Museum and Learning Center will also share the 4.7 acre property.

Case Manager Heather Gutherless reported a slight increase in traffic once the site opens with a reported 92 additional trips during peak hours. The center will have 50 available parking spaces, with 30 parking spaces proposed at the museum and learning center which should help keep parking off the streets, said Gutherless.

The Denver Curling Center will be the first of its kind in Colorado

ElECtion nEws in a hurry Jefferson County school board race takes shape Three of the five Jefferson County Board of Education directors will not seek re-election this fall, and there will be six candidates looking to replace them.

Neither District 1 director Laura Boggs nor Paula Noonan of District 5 submitted their required candidacy paperwork by the Aug. 30 deadline, according to the board’s administrative assistant, Helen Neal. Robin Johnson, a District 1 incumbent, resigned before the filing deadline, after she had moved away from the district. Johnson’s seat will be an open one, even though “a handful” of people have applied to fill the current vacancy, Neal said. That’s because the applicants who applied to be appointed to Johnson’s seat did not also submit the paperwork that is required from all candidates to be considered for the ballot.

This means that whomever the board chooses to replace Johnson

We’re proud of the news coverage we’ve received, and we hope to build upon these accomplishments. We know that our success is your success. Thank you.

said Brock. “That’s a culture that will spill out from the center into the community and definitely give a positive impact.”

The Colorado State Patrol will move their history displays which are scattered at two different locations into their new 10,000-squarefoot building. The new learning center will also provide driver education and driving safety programs.

“We have a proud history in the Colorado State Patrol that dates back to 1935,” said Scott Hernandez, chief of Colorado state patrol.

“This is an opportunity for us to showcase that history and that history of saving lives.”

Neal said that six candidates each submitted the 50 signatures of registered Jefferson County voters needed to appear on the fall ballot.

There are two candidates in each district race: Candidates in District 1, which covers the north area of the county, include Tonya Aultman-Bettridge and Julie Marie Williams, both of Westminster.

Candidates in District 2, which is a west central and mountain district, include Jeff Lamontagne of Lakewood and John Newkirk of Conifer.

And the two candidates in District 5, which covers the south Jefferson County district, are Gordon “Spud” Van de Water and Ken Witt, both of Littleton.

Nine candidate public forums will be held beginning Monday, Sept. 9, at 6:30 p.m. at Lakewood’s Green Mountain High School.

Tim Brock, who hopes to be a member of the Denver Curling Club, said the new center will bring more customers to local businesses and restaurants, and bring the good nature of the curling culture to the community.

“If you look at the true spirit of curling, unlike so many other sports, it promotes a good sportsmanship, camaraderie, among not just fellow curlers and teams but even towards their fellow man,”

Saving Jeffco’s forest health Initiative creates more slash collection sites, compost

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com Jeffco residents can anticipate a new slash disposal initiative presented by county commissioner Don Rosier, and contrived

by Indian Hills resident, Bret Roller. The Forest Health Initiative in partnership with the Denver Botanical Gardens at Chatfield could create a countywide sustainable solution for greenwaste and slash collection,

y, er

processing and biomass composting.

There are still many steps that need to be taken to get the initiative through, but commissioner Rosier said Jeffco residents could see 40 slash collection sites by the summer of 2014.

“Jeffco never had a comprehensive plan,” Roller said, who has worked in various forestry industries and holds a degree in natural resource management.

“They’ve taken steps in the right direction, but it hasn’t been enough,” Roller said.

The initiative proposes 40 year-round collection sites where slash will be processed.

The processed material will then be hauled down to the botanical gardens site at Chatfield on a 4 acres parcel of land,

where it will be laid into wind rows.

As it stands, Jeffco residents take their slash to one of three temporary sites once a year and the county contracts with an outside vendor to haul the material away in two days’ time.

“It creates a real pressure on Jeffco residents,” Roller said.

Compost collected will provide Jeffco residents an opportunity to purchase the soil; it could also provide a fundraising opportunity for local fire districts. Jeffco residents could purchase a $20 coupon from their local fire district which will give a date and time for their drop-off. The fire district will receive $10 from the coupon to go towards their department.

“I don’t know if this is possible, but this

is the idea,” said county commissioner Rosier, who stated he still needs input from the county attorney.

Rosier has looked into grant opportunities to help fund the initiative which needs equipment such as grinders, tractors and dump trucks with a cost of a half million dollars.

“Currently there are grant opportunities at the department of natural resources for equipment to do exactly what is proposed,” Rosier said.

“Slash disposal is sort of near and dear to my heart,” Roller said. “It’s an opportunity to do the objectives of thinning the forest, making the forest healthier, and keeping Jeffco residents safe from forest fire and getting compost back into the ground.”

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. 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!

Brenner’s loss is others’ gain

Bob Brenner, the “Extreme Weight Loss” record breaker on the hit ABC television series, was so transformed by his experience on the show that he has announced plans to become a certified life coach to help others realize weight loss success.

To achieve his life coach certification, Brenner is partnering with the Coloradobased school Coach Training Alliance to become a credentialed coach. He is expected to earn his life coach certification in November.

During his yearlong journey on “Extreme Weight Loss” season three (season four is being filmed at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora), Brenner lost a record 253 pounds — or 56 percent of his body weight — through a commitment to healthy eating, regular exercise and mental perseverance.

His next extreme transformation is a total career makeover — going from Milwaukee undercover cop to national life coach. Brenner also remains good friends with “Extreme Weight Loss” host Chris Powell. Both guys were in Denver the first weekend in September.

Show makes a move

Chinook Tavern, 6380 S. Fiddlers Green Circle in the Regis University building in Greenwood Village off Interstate 25 and Arapahoe, is the new venue for this year’s edition of “The John Fox Show,” which airs at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays on 7News.

On the first show (Fox appeared via a taped interview because of the season opener against the Ravens), Broncos Ring-of-Famer and all-time leading wide receiver Rod Smith joined 7Sports anchor Lionel Bienvenu live from the restaurant.

Each week, different football guests will join Bienvenu and fans will have the opportunity to be a part of the live show.

“Everybody knows the Broncos have an incredible hold on the heart of our city, and this is an exciting way for Chinook and our guests to go `inside the huddle’ this season, which could be a very memorable one for Broncos fans,” said Clemens Georg, Chinook general manager.

Valley girls and guys?

Colorado is fast encroaching on Silicon Valley’s crown as the king of incubators for tech startup companies, according to entrepreneur.com (www.entrepreneur.com/ article/227829).

According to the story posted Aug. 14, “Four of the top 10 metro regions in the U.S. with the most tech startups are in Colorado: Boulder, Fort Collins-Loveland, Denver and Colorado Springs. That’s according to a report released (recently) by technology policy coalition engine and entrepreneurship research association the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.”

The research defines high-tech startups as “new businesses with a concentration of employees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.”

Here’s how Colorado cities stacked up: 1. Boulder; 2. Fort Collins-Loveland; 3.

San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (aka Silicon Valley); 4. Cambridge-New-Framingham, Mass.; 5. Seattle; 6. Denver; 7. San Francisco; 8. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.; 9. Colorado Springs; 10. Cheyenne, Wyo. Parker continues on Page 17

Favorite character helps Playhouse start 78th season

T

he people at Arvada’s Festival Playhouse know Opal Kronkie well.

The central figure of seven of John Patrick’s plays, the bag lady who lives on the edge of the municipal town dump has been delighting audiences at the theater for years, and now she’s kicking off its 78th year of production.

“Opal’s Million Dollar Duck” will be on stage at the Festival Playhouse, 5665 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., Sept. 13-22. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

“The audience really, really likes her,” said Charley Ault, Playhouse owner and director of the show. “She’s really withstood the test of time, and we like to do a little more obscure plays because we’ve been doing this for so long.”

“Opal’s Million Dollar Duck” was the last Opal play Patrick wrote, and is full of his own homespun philosophies, and funny one-liners, tinged with a bit of bitterness.

In this outing Opal (Donna Ault) comes across an odd painting of a duck in the garbage, and decides to sell it at her antique junk shop. When her best friend Rosie (Karen Johnston) comes calling, reminding Opal that her birthday is coming up, she decides to make it a gift for Rosie. Enter Queenie (Lindsay Griebler) and Desmond (Dennis Leach), “stars” of a local summer-stock company. They’re visiting on the hunt for costumes, stage props and any other materials to use in their productions, when they come

Duck” “She’s able to see through them, not because she’s the brightest person, but because of her WHERE: Festival kindness,” Donna said. “She’s a very, very loving Playhouse person, and sees no bad in anyone.”

5665 Olde Donna has played Opal around four or five Wadsworth Blvd., times, and is able to quote some of Opal’s own Arvada brand of wisdom on a dime. She said at this point she’s got her portrayal of Opal down, and WHEN: Sept.

13-22 it’s pretty easy for her to slip into character.

The show is made up of familiar faces on all Fridays and counts — all of the actors have been working Saturdays - 7:30 with the playhouse for at least three years, and p.m. in some cases, more than 40.

“We’re really lucky to have actors who have Sundays - 2 p.m. experience here. As a director, I’m really able to COST: $15-$17 just let them do their own thing,” Charley said.

INFORMATION: “I really like my actors to reach into their own 303-422-4090 experiences for the characters.” or www.festivalBoth Charley and Donna credit the words playhouse.com and idea Patrick imbibed Opal with as the feature that keeps people returning to see her.

“Patrick really wrote a lot about these down and out people,” Charley said. “The philosophies he gave her are just as pertinent now as when they were written.”

For Donna, it comes down to a simple fact.

“People remember Opal.”

The most effective way to t c e l affair-proof your relationship E

Ted  Terranova

Editors note: Neil Rosenthal is out of town. This is from “The Best of Neil Rosenthal” series.

We know that for the past 30 or so years, the divorce rate has been stuck between 40 and 50 percent of marriages. We also know that some people who elect to stay together are not happy together. They remain with each other because of children, religious beliefs, economic necessity or fear they won’t do well on their own — but not because they are joyous about being together. Thinking about this subject has caused me to reflect on how hard it is for many people to sustain love, closeness and passion over time — no matter how much in love they are with each other when the relationship first begins.

Frequently, the process works like this: a series of minor unresolved grievances, small disappointments or petty grudges accumulate over time. Typically, these grievances aren’t effectively resolved. After a while, the person who is more hurt, annoyed or angry will withdraw from the other partner. This isn’t a giant withdrawal, and there may still be a lot of love and goodwill between the two parties. But sooner or later, the other partner will feel a greater coldness in the relationship, or less attentiveness and affection. So that person eventually pulls away or distances as well.

This is an ideal time for the two of them to talk about what has happened, to air their respective grievances, disappointments and hurts — and to repair the wounds between them. But most people don’t engage in this repair work, so the distance inevitably grows larger. Author Terrence Real (How Can I Get Through To You?) describes that the more he withdraws, the more critical and less loving she becomes. The colder and angrier she becomes, the more he withdraws. Let this go on for 20 years and what you have at the end looks like two decent people trapped inside a dying relationship. Says Real, “The degeneration of connection that spans years is made up of thousands of tiny incidents of disconnection that span mere moments.”

Before long, they are occupying them-

Ò The Right Person At The Right TimeÓ for selves with separate activities and interests, because they feel less close and connected to each other. This is where one person might devote him/herself more and more to the kids, or to work or to sports.

This is also where one or both are more vulnerable to meeting someone else and beginning an affair.

My point is that every relationship has this periodic minor repair work to do on an ongoing basis, so that small incidents do not mushroom into bigger issues. It is vital that the two of you are respectful, civil and constructive when talking about a conflict or hurt feelings — no exceptions.

And you cannot respond with anger, aggression, threats or defensiveness if your partner tells you that s/he is hurt, angered or offended by something you said or did.

Your partner has to tell you what’s bothering him or her — that’s how repair work occurs.

If you are part of a couple, make sure you do this ongoing repair work, by apologizing for wrong-doing, or words that hurt, or behaviors that offend, and specifically ask what your partner would prefer you say or do — or not say and not do.

This is the best insurance policy you can get that will essentially affair-proof your relationship, and it’s also the best opportunity you are likely to be given about how to live happily ever after with each other.

By Tim Lammers The great thing about the sci-fi comedy “The World’s End” is by the time the third film in Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright’s “Cornetto Trilogy” wraps up, we realize that the “End” is hardly the end at all.

In fact, like the trio’s previous films “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz,” the real buzzing about “The World’s End” truly begins after the curtains close, when you try to digest the headspinning hilarity that consumed you for the past 109 minutes. Like the two films that preceded it, there’s no question “The World’s End” is a thinking person’s comedy, and as Pegg and Frost told me in a recent interview, the privilege of getting the opportunity to entertain audiences is something that they don’t take lightly.

“It’s important to us that people talk about the films while in their cars on the way home, because if you make a film that winds up in such a way that you forget it before you’ve validated your parking, then you haven’t done the audience any favors,” Pegg said.

“The thing that we love the most is when people the next day after seeing the film, say, ‘Hey, I was thinking about the movie,’ and that for us is hugely important, because we don’t want to leave without something to talk about and think about. It’s the best you can do as an artist, if I can be so lofty, is to make people think.”

In “The World’s End,” director Wright and his co-writer, Pegg, have thought up a doozy.

After a prologue about their wild youth together, the film finds Gary King, aka The King (Pegg), an overgrown-up teenager reassembling his best mates — Andy (Frost), Oliver (Martin Freeman), Pete (Eddie Marsan) and Steven (Paddy Considine) — to once again attempt a run at “The Golden Mile” in the English town of Newton Haven. It’s a legendary pub crawl of 12 brew houses in the friends’ home town that they failed to complete at the end of their school days 20 years before.

The last stop on the crawl is a pub called The World’s End, but it’s long before that that the five friends discover that there’s something a bit off about the residents of the place they

Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan, Simon Pegg, Paddy Considine and Martin Freeman in “The World’s End.” used to call home, and completing their drunken run is the least of their worries. In fact, they come to discover that The World’s End could mean the end of the world, quite literally.

Now playing in theaters nationwide, the film also stars Rosamund Pike as Oliver’s sister, Sam, and Pierce Brosnan as the group’s former school teacher, Guy. Pegg, 43, and Frost, 41, consider “The World’s End” part of a trilogy — not because they feature the same characters and a developing storyline — but because of similar themes (and they all feature an English brand of ice cream called Cornetto).

In “Shaun of the Dead,” the duo and a small band of others fight their way through a zombie plague in London, while “Hot Fuzz” finds the two and a small group of officers at odds with the cult in a seemingly quaint small village in the English countryside.

In the sci-fi themed “The World’s End,” the characters played by Pegg, Frost and their buddies run into a dominating force hell-bent on some cosmic intervention of the residents on Earth.

“After we made ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and it did really well — better than we ever expected or dreamed it would do — we were given the opportunity to make a sequel. But instead of doing that, we decided make a thematic sequel rather than a direct one,” Pegg ex-

plained. “We used a sort of cinematic genre trove to say things that were meaningful to us like friendship and camaraderie ... the loss of identity in the face of a homogenizing force, about friendship, about the loss of adolescence and about Britain, since they’re all set in the U.K. and that they all feature me and Nick.”

While “The World’s End” completes a trilogy for Pegg, Frost and Wright, don’t expect it to be the end of the team’s collaborations together.

“We love working together. There’s quite a lot truth that we make films to hang out together. In fact, our wives think we’re working right now. That’s bulls—,” Frost said, laughing. “We love working together — me, Simon, Edgar and Nira Park, our producer — I think we’re very lucky that we get to do these films and then go off and do our own kind of thing, then come back. If it’s five years from now that that happens again, that’s the way it will be. But we will absolutely work together again. We have too much fun not to.”

and other programs in Colorado to fund this industry, or we’ll have lackluster or lax enforcement,” “This campaign kickoff is to acknowledge and recognize to the people of Colorado that these taxes absolutely must pass,” Pabon said.

Proposition AA will ask voters to approve a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent retail tax on marijuana sales. Revenue from the excise tax will go toward public school construction, while the money collected from the retail tax will back the regulations that were enacted by the Legislature.

The 25 percent state tax does not include whatever local taxes might be imposed by individual municipalities.

Brian Vicente, an architect of Amendment 64, said the taxes are expected to bring in about $70 million in revenue for the state.

Vicente also reminded voters that only pot-smokers will be required to cough up the tax money.

“This is a tax that really would only apply to people who choose to participate in regulated marijuana,” Vicente said. “Those who do not purchase marijuana will not be subject to this tax.”

Pot tax supporters were asked whether they had concerns that competing tax questions on this year’s bal-

marijuana.’

Brian Vicente lot could affect the passage of Prop AA — such as Initiative 22, which will ask voters to support more than $900 million in new taxes to overhaul the school finance system.

“I think these issues will rise and fall on their own merits,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “I think our voters are discerning.”

Steadman also said that voters who supported Amendment 64 last November knew that the pot industry would have to be taxed.

Proposition AA supporters also said they were pleased with the federal government’s recent guidance on states that allow legalized pot.

The Department of Justice issued a memo saying it would not seek to block recreational pot sales in states that allow it, so long as the retail pot industry abides by firm state regulations.

State Rep. Jonathan Singer, DLongmont, who sponsored the marijuana tax bill that led to Proposition AA, said the Legislature made “very responsible and very necessary first

steps” in making sure the marijuana industry abides by a strict set of rules.

Singer, who worked as a drug counselor at Colorado State University, said that he understands “the effects of drugs.”

“I also understand the importance of having the funding available to make sure that our communities are safe and that we build better schools,” Singer said.

“This is not just about making sure that we are protecting our communities, but making sure that marijuana pays its own way.”

The package of Amendment 64 legislation received bipartisan support at the Capitol this year. However, no Republican lawmakers attended the rally.

Pabon said his Republican colleagues are “on the record” with their support, and also noted Republican Attorney General John Suthers’ recent endorsement of the pot tax.

“As we move forward, you’ll be seeing more and more GOP support,” Pabon said.

Jeffco football highlights: Bear Creek wins big over Green Mountain Faith Christian’s Langewisch scored four touchdowns

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com Alameda: The Pirates fell to 0-2 on the season but their record is not an indication of how good they have played.

Alameda suffered its second straight heartbreaking late-game loss, 33-29 to Denver West, Friday at Trailblazer Stadium.

In week one Alameda fell to Skyview, 36-28.

The Pirates will try and turn those losses into wins when they play at Englewood Friday at 7 p.m.

Arvada: The Bulldogs finally found their mojo in the third quarter of their second game of the season but it wasn’t enough as they fell 31-18 at Englewood.

After being shut out the week before, Arvada looked good at times against Englewood, but just could not keep the Pirates out of the end zone.

Arvada (0-2) will host Skyview Friday at 4 p.m.

Arvada West: The Wildcats got their first victory of the season in style when they shut out Rock Canyon 14-0 on the road.

A-West responded to being shut out the previous week by producing an unbreakable defensive effort.

The Wildcats scored a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter, one a 30-yard

rushing touchdown by senior Marcus Culhane.

A-West will host Chatfield Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex.

Bear Creek/Green Mountain: After winning only two games all of last season, the Bears improved to 2-0 with a 38-20 victory over Green Mountain on Friday.

Bear Creek scored a total of 25 points in the second and third quarter and the Rams couldn’t keep up offensively.

It was the second consecutive game where the Bears scored at least 36 points.

Green Mountain also showed flashes of brilliance in the loss that included a 20yard touchdown reception by senior Mitch Shafer.

The Rams (1-1) will host Golden Thursday at 7 p.m. Bear Creek will look to stay unbeaten when they host Mountain Vista Thursday at 4 p.m.

D’Evelyn: After scoring 95 total points in their first two wins of the season, the power went out for the Jaguars in their 42-7 loss to Holy Family on Saturday.

Holy Family scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters and D’Evelyn was left in the dust.

Senior Conner Mateer had a rushing touchdown for the Jaguars in the second quarter, but four turnovers doomed D’Evelyn’s chances for a win.

The Jaguars (2-1) will travel to Stocker Stadium where they will play Grand Junction Central Friday at 7 p.m.

Faith Christian: The Eagles improved to 2-1 with a monster 59-18 victory over Vista Peak Prep Friday at Faith Christian High

School.

Senior running back Daniel Langewisch stole the show with his epic 125-yard rushing effort that was capped with four touchdowns.

The Eagles had 31 total first downs and scored 41 points in the second and third quarters, fuelling their blowout win.

Faith Christian (2-1) will travel to Kent Denver for a match up Friday at 3:30 p.m.

Golden: The rebuilding Demons suffered their second straight big loss when they were beaten by Dakota Ridge 51-0 Friday at Trailblazer Stadium.

Golden, led by first year head coach Jason Neely, struggled against Dakota Ridge who overwhelmed them offensively.

Neely, despite the blowout, remains positive and acknowledged that it will take some time for Golden to once again become a force in Jeffco football.

The Demons (0-2) will play Green Mountain Thursday at 7 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium.

Jefferson: Even though their defense kept them in the game until its end the Saints fell to Sheridan 14-6 on Friday.

Jefferson players suffered their first loss of the season, after they threatened to tie the score late in the game.

But Sheridan’s surprising stout defense never cracked.

The Saints (2-1) are still off to an impressive start to their season and will try to build on it Saturday when they play at Denver Christian at 1 p.m.

Pomona: In a meeting between two of the best teams in the state Pomona fell to

Cherry Creek Friday at North Area Athletic Complex, 19-15.

After a slow first half where only nine total points were scored both teams got it together in the second half.

However, Pomona couldn’t close the deal despite Chris Marquez’s big night.

The senior running back rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown, but Cherry Creek did just enough to slow the rest of the Panthers’ offense down.

The two teams could see each other again in the playoffs.

Pomona (1-1) will host Lakewood Saturday at 7:30 at NAAC. Ralston Valley: After two big wins to open the season the Mustangs struggled in their 36-18 loss to ThunderRidge Saturday at North Area Athletic Complex.

ThunderRidge jumped on Ralston Valley early in the action and never let up. The Mustangs attempted to get back into the game, and if it wasn’t for sloppy play the game outcome could have been different.

The Mustangs (2-1) will travel to Grand Junction Friday at 7 p.m.

Wheat Ridge: The Farmers fell 45-18 at Monarch on Saturday, but there are positive to take from the loss.

Wheat Ridge got a glimpse at the reigning state champions and now has a measuring stick on what it takes to get to that level.

Monarch scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters before the Farmers started to get it going late.

The Farmers (1-1) will host Littleton Friday at 4 p.m.

Lakewood (1-2) will play Golden Tuesday at North Area Athletic Complex.

Ralston Valley: The Mustangs stayed unbeaten with a 1-0 victory at Gateway on Friday.

Junior Jordan Quinlisk scored a first half goal and his defense helped preserve the lead.

LAKEWOOD - The Lakewood Tigers recorded their first victory in a scrappy 27-13 win over Pine Creek Thursday at Jeffco Stadium.

The Tigers had three different players score rushing touchdowns, and Lakewood managed to hold off a Pine Creek team that wouldn’t go away.

“The final score looks like we handled them but that wasn’t necessarily the case tonight,” Lakewood coach Mark Robinson said. “They played us tough, but we needed to find a way to win this game.”

Lakewood took a 13-0 lead in the first quarter before letting Pine Creek back into the game in the second quarter, 13-6.

Junior sensation Sean Pinson scored a third quarter rushing touchdown from the goal line, giving the Tigers enough cushion to hold on. Pinson finished with 51 rushing yards on 15 carries.

“We never got set off tonight for some reason but you also have to give their defense some credit because they played us tough tonight,” Pinson said.

Lakewood senior Casey Nichols had a rushing touchdown and finished with 6 rushing yards.

The game was certainly not a must-win considering the season is so young, but if Lakewood wants to sneak into the state championship game like they did a couple seasons ago, the Tigers had to handle their business against Pine Creek.

“We have a good team and good players but that doesn’t mean we are going to win easy. That actually means we have to work even harder to get back to where we want to be,” Robinson said.

The Tigers (1-1) will be tested again when they play powerhouse Pomona Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium.
