Learning to grow

Amendment 66

Veggie U teaches second-graders value of agriculture By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ourcoloradonews.com For many children, vegetables make up an objectionable part of their diet, but for a group of Arvada second-graders, that’s about to change. Earlier this fall, three second-grade classes at Sierra Elementary School began a three-week program as part of a plant and animal unit. Known as “Veggie U,” this program teaches students the value and importance of nutrition and wise food decisions. “The program really addresses a good part of our standards we need to teach,” said Brian Fassbinder, a second-grade teacher at Sierra. “It’s so hands on, from start to finish; it’s exciting for the kids to see that this is stuff they’ve grown.” During the past few weeks, students at Sierra have learned how to plant different types of seeds; discovered the differences of gardening in four types of soil, and watched as the seeds began to grow. “I like how we plant the seeds, get to see how we plant them first, and then plant them,” student Max Mervin said. In the early stages, students get to taste a variety of vegetables including carrots, beets, and lettuce, to see what fresh vegetables taste like. From there, they begin to learn how to grow certain types of seeds, and then they plant those seeds under a grow light. The students then tend to the seeds and watch as they begin to grow. “Whether we’re doing individual planting or group planting, the kids are excited because they get to do something with it,” Grow continues on Page 7

What’s in it for Jeffco? Precise funding for the district is difficult to nail down By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com It is widely accepted that if voters approve Amendment 66 on Nov. 5, the measure will pump at least $71 million of new funding into Jefferson County Public Schools. After that, who knows? There are a number of complexities tied the school finance overhaul ballot question, which makes it difficult for supporters to articulate a “bottom line” dollar figure to uneasy voters. At the same, it’s not uncommon to hear opponents discount nuance when talking about Amendment 66’s involved funding structure, often citing funding percentages that are probably worst case scenario for Jeffco. If passed, the measure would create $950 million in new taxes initially and about $1 billion in 2015 to enact major changes to the state’s school finance formula. The measure would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth and would provide more resources for English language learners, special education students and children who are in gifted and talented programs. Additionally, the measure aims to reduce class sizes and would reform perpupil funding statewide in a more equitable fashion, proponents argue. But the overhaul comes with a hefty price tag. Amendment 66 would raise taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. The

Suzi Christoffersen helps an Edgewater Elementary School kindergarten student understand his work during an Oct. 21 lesson. two-tiered proposal would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000. Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level. But just how much of those tax dollars will end up going to Jeffco schools is a question that nobody can answer at this time. Amendment 66 proponents acknowledge that taxpayers in Jefferson County will not see a 100-percent return on investment, meaning that a good portion of their tax dollars will go to stu-

dents in other school districts. That’s a key fact that opponents often latch on to when arguing against the amendment. But supporters say that’s the price of doing business when the goal is to have adequate and equitable funding for all children across the state. “This is not just about Jefferson County,” said state Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, an Amendment 66 supporter. “I’m looking out for the good of the whole state. We may not get all of the money back, but why not have a generous attitude?”

Lamontagne top fundraiser in school board race By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Reports show a stark financial contrast in each of the three Jefferson County school board races, with the conservative candidates lagging significantly behind their challengers in the amount of dollars raised, so far. District 2 candidate Jeff Lamontagne leads all six hopefuls in fundraising, having raked in $39,822 thus far, according to financial reports available through the Secretary of State’s office. Lamontagne’s cash haul includes small dollar contributions from Democratic state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson of Black Hawk, former Arvada Mayor Vesta Miller, and several Jefferson County Public Schools teachers and staffers. Lamontage has spent most of the money he has raised so far, but he still has more cash on hand than does his opponent, John Newkirk. Newkirk — who along with fellow Board of Education candidates Julie Williams and Ken Witt make up the conservative wing of the six hopefuls — has raised $4,255, of which $1,902 has been spent. Newkirk received $215 from the Wheat Ridge-based Jefferson County Republican Men’s Club. He also received $500 from for-

mer U.S. Sen. Bill Armstrong and $20 from Jeff Shrader, a Republican candidate for next year’s Jefferson County sheriff’s race. Armstrong and Shrader gave the same amounts to Witt, a District 5 hopeful, who has raised $10,148, of which $7,759 has yet to be spent. Witt also received a $100 donation from Wheat Ridge City Councilman Joseph DeMott. But Witt’s fundraising is less than a third of the amount that has been raised by his opponent, Gordon “Spud” Van de Water, who has $35,380 and has spent less than $4,000. Van de Water received money from Nicholson and fellow state lawmaker Rep. Sue Schafer, a Wheat Ridge Democrat, who contributed $90. A $100 contribution was given to Van de Water’s campaign by Democratic state Board of Education member Jane Goff, while $250 was contributed by Ken Fellman, the husband of Jeffco board member Jill Fellman. Van de Water’s biggest haul came in the amount of $8,166 from the Board of Education Committee, a Denver-based political action group.

The same group kicked in $3,167 to District 1 candidate Tonya Aultman-Bettridge, who has raised $25,017 in her race against Williams. Aultman-Bettridge’s donors include U.S. Rep. Jared Polis and state Sen. Evie Hudak of Arvada, both of whom are Democrats. Schafer, Miller and Ken Fellman have also contributed to her campaign. Aultman-Bettridge also received $100 each from Tammy Kerr, the wife of state Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood, and from the Jefferson County Democratic Party Latino Initiative. Fellow candidates are assisting in Aultman-Bettridge’s campaign. Lamontagne

gave $25 to her campaign, while Van de Water kicked in $100, a contribution that was reciprocated. Aultman-Bettridge has $9,258 cash on hand, more than what’s available in Williams’ campaign stash. Williams, who touts herself as the “conservative choice” in the District 1 race, has raised $5,756, of which only $470 has been spent. Williams’ contributions are primarily small dollar amounts raised from various individual donors. Jeffco voters will weigh in on all three county school board races on Nov. 5, regardless of district boundaries.

Roundtable discussion defines key issues Metro mayors discuss ways to make communities thrive By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ourcoloradonews.com The theme of cooperation and dedication highlighted the Regional Mayoral Roundtable, Friday, Oct. 18. Hosted by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce and the Jefferson County Business Lobby, the mayoral roundtable brought together five regional mayors to discuss initiatives facing the Denver metro community and the state at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. The event hosted five area mayors — Mayor Marc Williams, Arvada; Mayor Michael Hancock, Denver; Mayor Nancy McNally, Westminster; Mayor Marjorie Sloan, Golden; Mayor Heidi Williams, Thornton — and Gov. John Hickenlooper. The mayors answered questions regarding transportation and the rail systems, prohibition of medical marijuana growers and shops within each community, and homelessness. More than 130 business leaders from across the region attended the event, including past Arvada City Councilwoman, Bernie Burgmaier, who was eager to hear about the state of the community. “I’m really interested in what’s going on in our community and politics in general,” Burgmaier said. The mayors also highlighted the importance of urban renewal programs and how working together, consistently, as a region, makes the community thrive. “It’s a mandate to cooperate,” said Mayor Hancock regarding regionalism, “if we want to fulfill the possibilities of this area, we cannot be mutually exclusive, we must do this together.” Toward the end of the event, the Arvada

Gov. John Hickenlooper addressed those assembled about the facts and realities of Amendment 66. Photo by Crystal Anderson Chamber of Commerce Chairman, Jerry Marks, welcomed Hickenlooper. He spoke passionately about Amendment 66 and discussed the advantages of the resolution. “For the first time in the United States, if this passes, the money follows the child,” he said, “We’re creating a real incentive for teachers and schools to make sure these kids don’t drop out.” Following the governor’s address, Marks honored Arvada Chamber of Commerce President Dot Wright, as this was her last event as chamber president. For attendee Janet Steinkamp, Associate Vice President of Red Rocks Community College, the event was informative and clearly presented the issues that are pressing throughout her community and for her students. “As a newcomer to the community I found it extremely helpful,” associate vice president of Red Rocks Community College, Janet Steinkamp said. “I now have a better understanding of the issues.”

Commissioners review budget for next year County waits on flood recovery costs as demand for services heighten By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com ‘Tis the season for government budgets. Jefferson County was introduced to a comprehensive proposed budget for 2014 on Oct. 8 with an estimated 2.2 percent overall increase from the 2013 adopted budget. The 2014 proposed budget totals $478.7 million, showing operating and capital expenditures increasing by 10.5 percent from 2013. Predictions for 2014 revenues could be around $372.8 million, not including $87.3 million from interfund transfers. Tina Caputo, budget director for Jeffco, along with Ralph Schell, county administrator, gave a summary outline of the 2014 budget noting some important obstacles

including an increase in funding requests from citizens and unfunded mandates from the Jeffco Department of Human Services. Jeffco has a population that has a critical need for social services, Caputo said. The county continues to balance citizen need with keeping budgets flat, she added. Declining state and federal funding, aging infrastructure, and issues with employee retention were also among the challenges presented to county commissioners. Salary benefits for county staff will increase by 3 percent in the hopes of mending employee morale; staff has not seen a pay increase since 2009. The pay increase will contribute to a total $6.3 million for salaries and benefits. Soon after the floods, Jeffco announced a rough estimate of flood damage throughout the county which totaled around $6 million. Damages are currently being updated as some areas that were closed off to evaluations are now open. “There has been nothing proposed in

the proposed budget at this time to dealing with the flood recovery,” Ralph Schell, county administrator said. “We’ll probably budget something in 2013 based on estimates we’ll get form those people getting those figures for us,” Tina Caputo, budget director said adding she will most likely go back to county commissioners for a supplemental budget. Still, with recovery costs still unknown, commissioners said they will probably remain cautious with expenditures for 2014. “That could have a huge impact on the budget,” County Commissioner Don Rosier said on flood recovery. “As we go through, we need to consider that.” Organizations and county departments seeking funding from the county will be making presentations throughout the month and into November. A final budget will not be approved until late November or early December.

TOWNHALL POLL RESULTS Jeffco held a phone town hall conference on Oct. 9, collecting more than 400 county residents’ opinion on the county’s performance and budget preferences. Among the results: • 41 percent reported the county was doing a “fair” job. • 51 percent voted the value of Jeﬀco services to taxes paid was good. • 30 percent voted against increasing property tax to maintain county services. • 28 percent voted for a $50 annual property tax increase to maintain services. • 40 percent voted that reducing new road projects was their preferred budget cut. • 38 percent voted they would be least willing to see cuts to law enforcement. • 62 percent voted “no” on increasing the number of county commissioners from three to five.

 Ted Terranova Ò The Right Person At The Right TimeÓ for

Arvada CITY COUNCIL District 3

TED TERRANOVA “A PROVEN LEADER”

For more information go to:

www.electterranova.net Or call Ted at 303-877-6230 for a copy of his Ò Position PaperÓ or to answer questions.

Here is what your neighbors, friends and community leaders are saying about TED TERRANOVA:

William Russell: ”I would like to urge the residents in District 3 in Arvada to vote for Ted Terranova for city council. I have lived in District 2 for 33 years and during that time Ted was a councilman at large. Ted was amazing helping people with problems involving the city even though I had my own District council person at the time. He helped me solve problems that the city was imposing on me. You really need a friend when confronting the city .You have heard the saying-You can’t fight city hall-Well Ted has and will! Residents of District 3 please do yourself a great service and vote for Ted. He is the one man that is not afraid to stand nose to nose with the city Government on your behalf.” Kathryn Wallace; “I am so excited to see Ted Terranova enter the race for Arvada City Council. I have known Ted for many years and I know him to be an honest and honorable person. I

also have appreciated his service on the Arvada Fire Protection District Board and his past service on the City Council. Ted has a balanced and practical approach that will serve all of Arvada. Finally, someone with some REAL experience is in the race for District 3.”

Deputy Fire Chief Mike Piper: “Normally I refrain from involvement with politics, but in this case I feel compelled to make an exception. I am a strong advocate of Ted Terranova for

Arvada City Council. His Candidacy has also been strongly endorsed by the Arvada Professional Firefighters Association. Without exception, as a Director of the Arvada Fire Protection District, Ted has been a dependable advocate of citizen interests and also, through his experience and expertise, has balanced those same needs with those of our fire department and firefighters, both current and retirees. He is a man of integrity, with a tremendous work ethic, devoted to transparent and fiscally responsible government spending. As such I encourage you to support him as a candidate for Arvada City Council.”

Arvada Fire Protection District Director Tom McAdam: “I am proud to support Ted Terranova’s candidacy for Arvada City Council District 3. I have known Ted for many years, since his previous service on Council. I have really developed an appreciation for Ted’s value and dedication to the community serving on the Fire Board with him. His common sense, creativity, innovation, and persistence have been of immense worth to the Fire District and by default to the residents of the District. Ted is a person who asks questions. His critical thinking leads him to seek clarification on points that others may overlook, and his analysis of issues often lead to better outcomes than originally anticipated. He is not bound by conventional approaches to problem solving. Rather, Ted consistently displays an uncanny ability to find alternate, often more efficient solutions. It is a pleasure to work with Ted on the Arvada Fire Protection District Board of Directors and I have no doubt his election to the Arvada City Council will have lasting positive effects on the City.” Duane Youse; “Strong positive attributes defines a person’s character. Ted Terranova experience as a successful business man, employing 25 people, previous term on City Council, co-

chairing the chamber of commerce business and retail committee, member of the Arvada Fire Board, and many other civic endeavors has provided Ted valuable experience to represent the Arvada community on City Council. He will be your voice for your concerns. Ted Terranova should be your choice in the forthcoming council election.”

Frank Barone: “Ted Terranova brings many years of business experience and expertise as well as his service on the Boards of the Chamber, AFPD, Board of Adjustments, and City Council itself to his candidacy in this election. He always does his homework and he works very hard at everything he undertakes. He thoroughly understands the inner workings of the City’s various departments, so he has no learning curve to overcome. By analogy, who would you want as your quarterback-Peyton Manning or a rookie who has never taken a snap from center? We should elect Ted to Arvada City Council- District 3.”

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetics PHILADELPHIA — A team of doctors has found that a new formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives new hope to diabetics. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.

While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only 28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently.

Sequester threatens area housing assistance programs By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ourcoloradonews.com Barbara Tweed, an Arvada resident, has counted on a monthly payment from the Arvada Housing Authority for 11 years, but with the partial shutdown and the sequester in place, Tweed worried that they would take it all away. Late last week, the U.S. Congress passed a bill ending the temporary shutdown of the U.S. government, but while those temporary effects are slowly resolving nationwide, other issues, such as cutbacks from the 2013 sequester are having a major impact on local, community housing programs. Currently, more than 480 Arvada lowincome households utilize the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Community Development Block Grant programs, which provide rent subsidies and services to very low-income families throughout Arvada. In 2012, these programs began receiving an annual 6 percent budget cut. This cut affects the services the Housing Authority can provide according to Arvada Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization Manager Ed Talbot. “It (the sequester) severely cut federal resources for a host of services and activities the federal government funds with no ability to wait and apply reductions at different levels,” Talbot said. Funded by the U.S. Department of

Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Section 8 and CDBG programs while once able to help 508 Arvada families and individuals, now can help 485, and that number is expected to decrease in the new year. “2014 is very difficult to project given the “fluid” situation in the U.S. Congress but we would expect it will end up being even less than 485,” Talbot said. Each month, the Housing Authority spends around $800,000 to fund the costs of administration, payroll, and aid more than 1,000 Arvada residents through these programs, but due to low funding and turnover rates, the waiting list for Section 8 vouchers was closed, and those on it could have a two to three year wait to receive assistance. “I was on a waiting list for a year and a half,” said Tweed, “at that point it wasn’t rough, but within a year and a half of signing up, my husband passed away and I was so grateful to have signed up.” According to Talbot, many factors, such as new budgetary approaches, need to fall into place for this to be resolved. “The U.S. Congress must return to a logical, systematic, and rational approach to setting annual Federal budgets that cover both revenue and expenditure levels,” he said, “…so that the many entities that depend on federal support or services can receive adequate funding to provide the services they are expected to provide.”

Event secures safe fun for Halloween Olde Town Arvada celebrates with annual Trick or Treat Street By Crystal Anderson

canderson@ourcoloradonews.com Trick or Treating is a beloved Halloween tradition that encourages kids to dress up as their favorite character and strut through their neighborhood collecting candy, and Olde Town Arvada is offering a community trick or treat street, providing Arvada residents with a safe, fun option prior to Halloween. In the early 2000s, the historical society decided to have a trick or treat day for children through Olde Town Arvada to provide a family-friendly event for children to enjoy Halloween.

“Trick or Treat Street is one of those events that is a simple, family-friendly place to come and have a good time,” organizer of the event Linda Ole Ferguson said. Held along Olde Wadsworth Boulevard, Grandview Avenue, and Grant Place, more than 75 percent of Olde Town merchants will welcome dozens of trick or treaters on Oct. 25, for a treat or a scare. Lori Drienka, director and founder of the Eli Ashby Center Healing Arts of Arvada, has participated for the past eight years. “We’ve always enjoyed having our business in Olde Town and it’s a great way to be involved with the community,” Drienka said.

Amendment Continued from Page 1

Total funding will vary

If voters pass Amendment 66, it would restore school dollars back to 2009 levels, before the state cut about $1 billion in funding during the economic downturn of that period. Amendment 66 would bring $71 million in new revenue to the Jeffco school district, which is currently the largest school district in the state. That breaks down to $7,112 per pupil, which would mean a 9.7 percent increase over the $6,486 that the current funding system allows. About $33 million of the spending from new revenue would be mandated, most of it earmarked to support full-day kindergarten and preschool programs for at-risk students. Roughly $20 million of the mandated dollars would provide additional funding to area schools that receive federal funding and that have large numbers of children who are eligible for free lunch programs. Much of the money that Jeffco schools with high “at-risk” populations receive would be spent at their own discretion. “We have smart principals and smart schools, and they’ll use the money appropriately,” said Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson. “They could hire another teacher, have more technology, or bring in more tutoring, whatever.” As for the rest of the $71 million, about $38 million would be up to the district to determine how the money is spent. After that, Stevenon said that Jeffco has the potential of bringing in an additional $31 million into the district by way of other types of funding that will depend on legislative action and the amount of tax revenue that is actually collected by the state. That includes a potential for an additional $18 million in special education funding. State Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, a member of the Legislature’s Senate Education Committee, is a teacher with the district’s 21st Century Virtual Academy, an

Fassbinder said. “This is the section where they get to be farmers, and I have almost 100-percent participation.” According to a press release, the program, crafted through the volunteer efforts of teachers, a physician and a nutritionist, was part of a plan to help in-

online middle and secondary school. Kerr, a proponent of Amendment 66, points to another area of funding that the district should expect to see as a result the measure — a chunk of a $100 million education innovation grant program, where teachers and administrators would be able to apply for education project funds. “If we’re funded on a per capita basis, and Jeffco is about 10 percent of the state, we would get 10 percent of that,” Kerr said. “That’s $10 million.”

What opponents say

Proponents believe that Amendment 66 could end up bringing somewhere between $71 and $102 million into Jeffco schools, money that they say the district needs badly. But opponents believe the return just isn’t worth the investment for Jeffco taxpayers. They say that for all of the talk about money beyond the “guaranteed” $71 million, there is just no way to know how much of those funds will end up here. Because of that, opponents stick to their belief that Jeffco schools will only get back a little more than 50 cents for every dollar that is spent by county taxpayers. That’s based off a calculation where Jeffco would end up paying about $126 million in new taxes. Supporters believe that the district could end up getting back up to 80 or 90 cents for every Jeffco tax dollar, when it’s all said and done. But opponents scoff. “It’s possible we’ll get more money, but that means that Jeffco taxpayers are going to pay more while the percentage remains the same,” said Laura Boggs, a conservative member of the Jefferson County Board of Education. Opponents also blast the measure because it will send more money to schools in Denver and Aurora than any place else. That’s true. Denver will see its per-pupil funding increase by about 15 percent, while Aurora students will get a 17 percent per-pupil increase, compared to Jeffco’s 9.7 percent rise. Of course, Denver has nearly twice the number of at-risk students as Jeffco. But that’s not the point, opponents say. “It fundamentally treats the same type

Photo by Vic Vela of student different, based on which district they’re enrolled in,” said Ben DeGrow of the Independence Institute. “The rich are getting richer because (Denver Public Schools) is already bringing in more dollars than students in Jeffco.” DeGrow and Boggs also say that it’s unfair to Jeffco that children who are deemed “at-risk” here receive less funding than do students in Denver. And Boggs said that “language and poverty shouldn’t be the markers” when determining district funding, anyway. “We need to go back to the drawing board and have a conversation about what

it takes to get each student what they need,” Boggs said. “I would support tax increases all day if it changes academic outcomes.” But opponents like Kerr and Schafer believe the money will make a tremendous difference for kids across the state. “As a state, Coloradans should pull together and do what we need to, to make sure everybody in Colorado gets what it needs to be successful,” Kerr said. “I think it’s a moral choice,” Schafer said. “Are we going to educate all of our children, or just the wealthy children of the wealthy people? I’m taking care of all the people, regardless of where they live.”

opinions / yours and ours

Smarter systems, not money, help schools Last week, I wrote a little about Peyton Manning, his mastery of systems, and the Common Core State Standards. I pointed out that Common Core, while wellintentioned, is merely another iteration of the assumption that knowledge comes in nice little compartments. It’s the same assumption that most of the current American education system is based on. But that’s not how the brain works. “Smart,” Ed Psych professors tell me, is being able to make connections and see how disparate bits of information link together into a unified whole. Marion Brady champions a type of education based on systems theory, which links all the individual subjects under an umbrella of intersecting uses of knowledge — a unified whole. The great thing is, we know this idea works: D’Evelyn Middle/High School uses a curricular design that is integrated horizontally. According to Terry Elliot, former D’Evelyn Principal, a ninth-grade social studies teacher can make reference to the novel “Siddhartha” while studying Indian geography, knowing that the students will have read that novel in their

English class. Such a design creates a richer, deeper context of learning for the students, which helps both comprehension and retention. And, as exhibit A for this strategy, D’Evelyn was recently recognized as one of America’s Top Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Unfortunately, it’s hard to test an umbrella; “systems” don’t make for easy to implement computer-based testing regimes; and the need to “do something” overrides the difficult discussions of design and system. And so Common Core becomes the default curriculum of the land.

And at the same time, you are being asked to vote to give an additional $1 billion a year to education through Amendment 66. It’s being sold in a well-funded advertising campaign as a “small price to pay” for continued gym classes, and more teacher’s aides in the classroom, and reviving music programs, and the like. Some people will remember just 8 years ago when Referendum C was on the ballot, and was being pushed for just such benefits. At the time, I described it as a “$3 billion fix for an $800 million problem,” but it passed, so everything should have been hunky dorey, right? But here we are again, less than a decade later, being asked to hand out $1 billion per year. As usual, there are those who have pointed out problems with 66, among them the funding formula which returns to Jefferson County Schools just 56 cents for every dollar collected from Jeffco taxpayers. But, again, that mechanism is just a tree; the forest is this: is $1 billion a year going to get us a better system, or does it just prop up the same old system?

Ask yourself, the next time you see one of those very clever ads, are the gym classes relating cardiovascular activity to cellular biology and the physics of work and energy? Are the music students linking the Baroque style of Bach to the flourishes of Gothic architecture and the intellectuals of the Enlightenment? In other words, are we getting a better system? I know that Amendment 66 is not explicitly about Common Core, but they are linked as functional parts of a system. And that system, even with all the tweaks and tests and taxes added over the years, is not serving our children very well. So the question you have to ask yourself, as you cast your ballot in a few weeks, is this: are our politicians and bureaucrats enough like Peyton Manning to make this system work for a mere one billion dollars? Michael Alcorn is a music teacher and fitness instructor who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. He graduated from Alameda High School and the University of Colorado-Boulder.

Our values drive our success One of my very favorite things about being in the coaching, training, and learning and development industry is when I have an opportunity to meet and observe other trainers or facilitators, authors, and subject matter experts. I am sharing this with you because I had a wonderful opportunity to sit in on a session recently conducted by Peter Thomas. His career and accomplishments were extremely impressive, however his presentation was focused on values, and it was his passion and conviction around this topic that really captured my attention. Although he normally delivers the course over two days, the four-hour abbreviated version had a tremendous impact on me and how I see and define my own success. What are my values? What do I value most? Why do I value these things? Intuitively I have understood the importance of identifying my values and their relation to my success and have spent time identifying them in the past and even committing them to writing. Yet during this recent session with Peter Thomas I questioned and even challenged myself a little on how much emphasis I was placing on my own values and was I really living those values. Typically when I teach a class or coach a client and we discuss values I hear words like honesty, integrity, family, knowledge, and other very nice words and strong values. So when I was tasked with working through my own, I came up with about 14 words or values. Then after thinking through them a little more I distilled the list down to seven values and found the other words and values fit better as subvalues or categories. If you don’t mind me sharing, here is what I do value: Faith, Family, Love, Trust, Kindness, Happiness, and Fitness. And the other values that fall somewhere under each one include: Togetherness, Compassion, Time, Quiet Time, Loyalty, Effort, Purpose, Commitment, Wisdom, and Peace, with some of these falling under

more than one major value. Have you considered what it is you really value and why? Success is different for everyone as some define success by

status, money, achievements, and in many other ways. What if we looked at success and measured our success in relation to our values instead of our accomplishments or at least alongside of them? If we compromise our values to achieve status or things, are we truly successful? I know this sounds so philosophical or maybe you see it as wishful thinking. But if you are a little like me maybe, and someone reminded you about the importance of your values, would you take the time to reconsider what they are and how you not only prioritize them but how you just might live them? This was an awesome reminder and I am so grateful to Peter Thomas for his presentation. He has written a book titled “Be Great: The Five Foundations of an Extraordinary Life in Business - And Beyond” and I would highly encourage you to read this wonderfully fresh reminder of all that may just be important in your own life. Are your values in alignment with what you do? Is what you do in alignment with your values? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com because when our values and life are in sync, it really will be a better than good week.

letterS to the editor Candidates have track record

As someone who has been involved with Jeffco Schools for over 30 years as a parent, volunteer and now-retired employee, I believe that it’s critical that our school district is governed by the best possible school board, which is the policymaking body that influences the future of our children and our county! I have been dismayed over the last couple of years by the lack of civility at board meetings. Disruptive, disrespectful behavior is no way to model good citizenship for our students – or for our staff and community. We must elect board members who pledge to engage in civil discourse, and who put education and wise spending of our tax dollars before politics, personal attacks and special agendas. This year’s election is particularly important since three seats are open – a majority of the board. It’s an opportunity to elect a board that will focus on providing the best possible education for all students … a board of committed, caring individuals with a vision and road map for educational excellence … a board that understands that our community is growing more diverse and does everything possible to close the achievement gap and ensure all students are career or college ready when they graduate. That’s why I am supporting three candidates who have a track record of involvement and knowledge of public education, and who are committed to governing with integrity and respect. Please join me in supporting: Jeff Lamontagne – an active community member who has demonstrated his commitment to youth by co-founding and serving as executive director of the Second Wind Fund to prevent teen suicides as well as serving on numerous school district committees. Tonya Aultman-Bettridge – an involved PTA mom and public policy analyst who works to improve systems to serve chil-

dren and families across our nation. Gordon ‘Spud’ Van de Water – a committed volunteer who worked for 30 years as an education policy analyst and consultant to educational leaders in more than 30 states. Marilyn Saltzman Conifer

Support Di Giacomo

It read, “RIP Safeway,” and was one of many signs visible at that day’s rally. It was also my first, but not last, indication that something was not quite right with Arvada. The rally was part of a grassroots effort to stop a proposed Wal-Mart at Ralston Road and Independence Street. Ironic, that a street named for the admirable and very American quality of independence, borders a patch of land over which the few have wrested control from the many. When, in July, Ascenzo Di Giacomo gave Arvada’s City Council a comprehensive, impassioned presentation against that Wal-Mart, he had no idea he would soon be seeking a seat on that very council. How fortunate for Arvada that he is. His love of good design, common sense, and especially of Arvada itself, are in my opinion exactly what is needed right now. We are facing huge changes in the layout of our city, which have the potential to showcase or to devastate Arvada’s beauty for decades to come. As I, too, love Arvada and its many unique qualities, I have traded my apathy for a surprising (to me) interest in activism. With a great deal of hope, I will be voting for Ascenzo Di Giacomo for City Council. Susan Shirley

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life -- and enjoy what follows. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 9

Evie Hudak’s district, I am dismayed by the wasteful attempt to recall our senator, who was reelected by the majority of the people in her district in 2012. Before you agree to sign somebody’s petition, consider: Sen. Hudak has done nothing unlawful to warrant such action. The special election will cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. AND (most significantly, I think) IF successful, the Recall starts a chain reaction that opens the door for a never ending recall effort every six months. We’ll be stuck in infinite loop of election campaign ads, door knockers, sign wavers, yard signs, phone calls, mailers, poll takers and reckless spending our hard earned tax dollars. This is the slippery slope you always hear of. Enough already! The State of Colorado can’t afford to play these frivolous games. Liz Geisleman Arvada

Just too much

I am so sick of seeing the signs to recall Hudak on every corner in Arvada. And why? Because the “Tea Party Machine” targets any close democratic election! This country feels like it is run by this small number of people who saturate us with propaganda and lies and have us belief just about anything, like the government shutdown was justified or that Edie Hudak is not a good person. The voters voted for her, let it go ... but never, they are destroying this countries right to choose.

So for the upcoming election, maybe we should all save ourself the time and money to vote at all ... just ask the “Tea Party” Republicans how we should vote and think. Pam Deck

Support Terranova

I am proud to support Ted Terranova’s candidacy for Arvada City Council District 3. I have known Ted for many years, since his previous service on the Council, but I have really developed an appreciation for Ted’s value and dedication to the community while serving on the Arvada Fire District Board with him. His common sense, creativity, innovation, and persistence have been of immense worth to the Fire District and by default to the residents of the District. Ted is a person who asks questions. His critical thinking leads him to seek clarification on points that others may overlook, and his analysis of issues often lead to better outcomes than originally anticipated. He is not bound by conventional approaches to problem solving. Rather, Ted consistently displays an uncanny ability to find alternate, often more efficient solutions. To do things ‘because we’ve always done it this way’ is not Ted’s way of thinking. That is not to say he doesn’t respect traditional values. The Fire Service is built on a great deal of tradition and history and Ted has questioned that where he thought it appropriate One of Ted’s greatest strengths is his persistence, which leads him

to seek resolutions acceptable to all parties rather than an ‘all or nothing’ outcome. That persistence, coupled with his ability to look at an issue from many different angles, results in effective government. It is a pleasure to work with Ted on the Arvada Fire District Board of Directors and I have no doubt his election to the Arvada City Council will have lasting positive effects on the City. Tom McAdam Arvada

Firefighter for Terranova

Please consider the attached letter for publication in the Arvada Report. Although I am the Deputy Chief for the Arvada Fire Protection District, I feel it is most appropriate to convey my public opinion regarding Ted Terranova, who is a candidate for Arvada City Council, as a resident of District 3. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Mike Piper Arvada

No recall for Hudak

I’m writing in opposition to the recall efforts against Evie Hudak. Rep. Hudak has been demonized by many right wing Republican “Tea Party” type people for supporting public safety issues. Evie Hudak has a proven track record supporting education and civil rights for all citizens. Recall elections such as this are unnecessary and end up costing the Letters continues on Page 11

Marriott for council

Vote for my neighbor John Marriott. I have known John for many years and know him to be a trustworthy and positive member of our community. He is active in our community and has the community’s best interest in mind when he acts. He is an outstanding member of our neighborhood. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen John behind a snow shovel helping out a neighbor or offering to give a hand with whatever they happen to be doing at the moment. Just last month, he helped my father when he ran out of gas on a busy Kipling Street. That type of commitment to neighbors is exactly what our city needs for leadership. We need people in those positions that really understand the daily life of citizens and can put themselves in our place when making decisions that will affect us all. Putting people first is what ever councilor should have in mind. I have no doubt that John Marriott will always do that. I also know he will do so in a way that will make us all as proud to be Arvadans as I am

proud of my neighborhood. John Marriot makes everything he does better with his commitment and caring. I will vote for him and I hope all of the voter in District 3 do the same. Rodney Brewer Arvada

Government Funding or Demagoguery and Grandstanding

Members of Congress are elected to do the People’s business. This includes funding the government, and if need be levying taxes to pay for that government. All things have their price and government is no exception. If members of the House of Representatives or the Senate do not like a particular piece of legislation, such as the Affordable Care Act, then let them repeal it, if they can. The budget is not the place for this debate. Since it already is the law of the land, it must be funded. In order to make clear the import of funding the People’s government, let there be a law that will dock the pay of all elected members of the House of Representatives and the Senate one month pay for each day that funding legislation is late. If we have a government “of, by, and for the People”, then our government is the People. Failure to fund the government is not merely holding the government hostage, is it holding the People themselves hostage. This is an intolerable situation, and must stop immediately.

Museum accepting quilts for a cause

The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum has received more than 200 donated quilts for flood victims. More is needed to reach

500 by the end of 2014. Donations of new quilts, made of 100-percent cotton fabric in all sizes including, crib, throw, twin, full, and queen sizes is needed. Fleece blankets will not be accepted. Donations can be mailed to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, 1213 Washington Avenue in Golden, CO. Drop-off times are Monday to Saturday at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday’s at 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum’s office will also accept drop-off at 651 Corporate Circle, Suite 102, Golden Monday to Thursday at 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate who by their votes and by their parliamentary maneuverings fail to fund the People’s government must be held accountable for their malfeasance. The deliberate failure to do the People’s business and to intentionally hold the government hostage is not different from any other hostage taking, and should be punished by prison time in some place like Leavenworth or Marion (For all I care, it could be Guantanamo.) Members of Congress seem to think of themselves as somehow exceptional. They are not. They are our employees who must be held accountable for the responsibilities We have assigned them. Klaus Neuschaefer Arvada

Hudak supported

The Colorado Republican Party is reveling in their success to recall two Democratic senators so they have now decided to try for (at least) one more. The language used against Senator Hudak in the recall petition is vile, distorted and extremely misleading. Sen. Hudak’s goal in her entire adult life has been to serve others. She taught children in public schools, served non-salaried in PTSA, the Jefferson County School Board and the State Board of Education and has sponsored many bills for improving education, health and safety for Coloradans. I urge all voters to first, refuse to sign the

Open letter to Allard

Mr. Don Allard, as a lifelong citizen of Arvada, as owner of multiple homes in Arvada, as a taxpayer to Arvada, I want you to know that I have just cast my vote against you. Everyone I know intends to vote against you because of your allowance of Wal-Mart to build yet another store in the immediate area. The absence of Wal-Mart in Arvada was a source of pride for many of us, the Waltons do NOT share the same values as most of the working class neighbors I talk with. I am furious my tax dollars will go to Wal-Mart, as if they don’t leach off this country enough. I refuse to shop there but they still get my money? Shame on you Mr. Allard. I don’t care what your reasoning was, I am voting against you and every other council member that allowed this. You should be ashamed of yourself for defying what we’ve already said “no” to on multiple occasions. Pack your desk and get out of my city. It’s just too bad you can’t take Wal-Mart with you when you leave. Mark Orr Arvada

will feature appearances by Ed the Butler, Benny the Bouncer, sounds from Zombie Planet, and, hopefully, a few of the house’s residing spirits. “We’ll have to see what the spirits are planning,” Drienka said, “It’s different every year.” Four booths will be located throughout Olde Town to register for the costume contest, which costs $2. Participants will then be directed to the old schoolhouse, where they will have a still photograph taken, to be placed on the Historic Olde Town Arvada Facebook page; the winners will be announced at a later date.

Forum supports amendment By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Hispanic leaders came together in Denver on Oct. 21 to urge folks to support a school finance tax hike that they say will greatly impact Latino students. Colorado Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia headlined a forum at El Museo de las Americas, where he touted the highlights of Amendment 66, a statewide ballot measure that will create $950 million in new taxes annually to fund an overhaul of the state’s school finance overhaul. The money would be used to implement reforms that were put in place earlier this year by the Democrat-led Legislature. The taxes would fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth and pro-

vide more resources for school programs, including those that directly impact English language learners. Garcia, a Democrat, said that the tax hike — which will have a greater impact on tax payers with higher incomes — is a small price to pay to ensure that Colorado remains one of the most highly educated states in the country. “We’re going to go from the second most well-educated state to the first, and lot of those kids that will help us get there will be a lot of our Latino kids,” Garcia said. Growing numbers of English language learners and children living in poverty in counties like Adams and Jefferson would get more funding under Amendment 66. Both Jefferson County Public Schools and the Adams 12 Five Star School district

would receive a 14 percent funding increase, if the measure passes. The districts would also see similar per pupil funding increases. Adams 12 would go from a per-pupil funding base of $6,463 to $7,076, a 9.5 percent increase, while Jeffco would see its per-pupil funding increase from $6,486 to $7,112, a 9.7 percent raise. Amendment 66 would raise taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. It would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000. Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level.

Guillermo “Bill” Vidal, who briefly served as Denver mayor and who currently is the CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver, said that his chamber board supports Amendment 66, regardless of the price tag. “For a business group to support a tax increase is an unusual thing,” he said. Critics say the ballot measure only throws more money at a bureaucratic school system, and that the new formula does not have enough reform or transparency to be effective. Opponents also blast Amendment 66 as a huge tax increase on all Colorado taxpayers at a time when they could least afford it. Not a single Republican voted for the legislation that is tied to Amendment 66, Senate Bill 213.

Baby, now that was suspenseful Exhibit invites visitors to be scientists Mythbusters, based on TV show, opens at DMNS By Tammy Kranz

tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com With the clatter of dishes falling to the floor, people squealing as they run (or walk) through rain and the cheers of an audience as a volunteer dodges a paintball makes the newest exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science noisy and lively. Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition, based on the Discovery Channel’s show, opened at the museum on Oct. 11. The exhibit offers more than a dozen hands-on experiments and displays about the more popular myths featured on the show. “This exhibit has a lot of science behind it. It has everything to do with experimenting on your own and learn scientific processes,” said Brian Hostetler, an educator at the museum. “If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll love the props here.” Those props include the coffin from the episode that experimented if a person could survive being buried alive. The coffin has a large dent on its lid, caused by the weight of the dirt pushing down on it. The myth was “busted.” Another large prop, which is outside the actual exhibit, is the 400-pound mechanical shark, used by the show to prove or disprove if a person could poke a shark’s eye if it was thrashing around with that person on its mouth, distracting it so he can free himself. The myth was deemed “plausible.” The main attractions, and the noisiest,

Media madness or a pregnant pause, perhaps? Was KOSI radio/9News personality Denise Plante pulling a prank on thousands of Facebook friends when she posted a picture of a pregnancy-testing stick she allegedly used on Oct. 16? She let the drama play out as she posted evolving pictures of the stick as it was turning positive or negative. She even snagged 9News medical expert Dr. John Torres to witness the gag. “Am I pregnant? We will soon find out, Dr. John Torres from @9News is in the house!” Plante posted. The plot thickened with pictures of the stick as it revealed her pregnancy status. And the “results?” “Turns out, I’m just a moody momma. Not pregos ... good news for (husband) Michael Plante.”

Lakewood High to ‘Roar’

Congrats to Lakewood High School for winning the “Good Morning America” contest to have Katy Perry perform a song at their high school! More than 2,000 Lakewood High students lip-synched to Perry’s hit song, “Roar,” as part of the school’s video entry. Perry announced the winner on “Good Morning America” Oct. 18. “For me Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit. You saw so many different people coming together to do one shot,” Perry said Friday. “It was so interesting and so well done.” Amazingly, the video was shot in one take and has been viewed on Vimeo more than 564,000 times and earned 246,000 views on YouTube. 7News first reported the news. Perry will perform at Lakewood High — the home of the Tigers (how’s that for some cosmic karma!) — on Oct. 25 and will be broadcast on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Proceeds from the concert reportedly will go to the Colorado flood relief effort. Check out the video at http://vimeo. com/75058173.

Strings restrung

I’ve been back to Strings once since owner Noel Cunningham died. Since his wife, Tammy, opted to close the place (running a restaurant is not her thing) the building on 17th Avenue and Humboldt had stood like a monument to a time when the restaurant was frequented by celebrities from stage and screen, along with loyal locals. When it was announced that there would be new life stirring in that space with the occupation of Humboldt Farm — Fish — Wine, a Rock Bottom founder Frank Day project, I, for one, was happy to hear of the rebirth. Humboldt opened recently under the leadership of Concept Restaurants. “From the instant our guests walk in and have that `wow moment’ to the time they leave, we want to make sure their

DPS student population may pass Jefferson County Numbers still unofficial By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Denver Public Schools claimed last week that it is projected to become the state’s largest school district, overtaking Jefferson County’s student population numbers. But Jeffco officials say it’s premature to make that claim, considering that it hasn’t even released its own enrollment numbers for next year, nor has the state Department of Education signed off on DPS’s claim. Through a news release, DPS boasted that it will have a projected 2013 student enrollment of more than 88,000 students, the highest ever in the urban district. If so, those numbers mean DPS’s enrollment would be larger than what Jefferson County Public Schools has been over the last year few years, which has been near 86,000. The DPS enrollment projection would continue a growth pattern at Denver schools since 2004, but one that has particularly picked up steam over the last few years. The school district claims that its “enrollment boom is a result of primarily of thousands more families choosing to send their students to Denver’s schools.” “I am very grateful to our teachers and school leaders for their work in driving the improvements in our schools that are driving such extraordinary enrollment increases,” DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg said, through a district announcement. But Jeffco Superintendent Cindy Stevenson said that she recently reached out

to Boasberg to express her disappointment over DPS choosing to announce its enrollment projection. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to do that,” she said. “I think you wait until you have the numbers, until they are official. Until then, I think you give that courtesy to the other school districts.” Jeffco has yet to release its own enrollment projections for this school year. Lynn Setzer, a Jeffco schools spokeswoman, said that an assessment team typically obtains a preliminary count sometime in October, before it conducts an internal audit of those numbers. Once that happens, the enrollment figures are sent to the Department of Education for its own review. Setzer said that providing accurate student population numbers to CDE are important because “enrollment is the primary driver for our state funding.” “We get per-pupil funding,” she said. “You have to prove that the students you are reporting are actually going to your schools, so it’s really important that you have the correct number of students.” Although the numbers released by DPS are not official, its claim that it will surpass Jeffco in overall enrollment comes as no surprise. DPS’s enrollment has been aided by younger families moving into trendy city neighborhoods, such as the Denver Stapleton district. Meanwhile, Jeffco’s enrollment numbers have dipped every year since 2009, which is primarily attributed to a graying population. “It has been projected for several years that our enrollment would remain flat, if not decline a bit, because of the aging population of Jefferson County,” Setzer said.

Have you been wrongly accused? How do you respond in those situations? These are a few of the questions which guided the conversation during the “Wrongly Accused: A Rush to Judgment” video at this week’s Lifetree Café at Peace Lutheran Church, 5675 Field St., Arvada, CO. Based in Loveland, the Lifetree Café organization presents modern faith and liferelated issues weekly, via a video interview, in a safe, comfortable coffeehouse environment, bringing people together to discuss such topics and share their stories, across the country. “I come because it has interesting, Godcentered, topics that are fresh and relevant,” said Evie Cullman, Lifetree Café attendee and Peace Lutheran Church member. A little over a year ago, Polly Wegner, director of discipleship at Peace Lutheran Church, began hosting a Lifetree Café gathering in Arvada as a way to reach the community outside of her church. “I had heard about it, and thought it’s reaching a different demographic our church may not reach otherwise,” Wegner said, “It’s spiritual, but it’s open and you’re welcome, just as you are.” Each week, around 10-20 people gather at one of two Lifetree Café’s offered

Tu e s d a y ’s at Peace Lutheran Church to watch a free video presentation. The videos consist of interviews with people throughout the world who are confronting different is-

sues facing society today. Throughout each presentation, café guests sit, four to a table, and watch that week’s video. The presentation bounces between video and commentary, asking specific questions to attendees to help guide conversation among tablemates. “I like to think about these events, and this is a safe place where conversation is guided, that helps us get way deep right away,” Wegner said. From hoarding, being wrongly accused to interviews on the paranormal and Christmas baking, Lifetree Café discusses relevant issues and offers attendees a place to share opinions, ideas and build relationships with others who attend. “I’ve met so many people I can give a high-five or a hello to,” Cullman said. “It’s definitely a great way to get to know someone more than a ‘Hi, hey how’s the weather?”

In lieu of a council workshop, the City Council met with representatives from Arvada’s 12 boards and commissions to discuss the progress of the year’s projects, events and possible improvements, Oct. 14. “We appreciate each and every one of you on the committees for all your work you do; we couldn’t do it with-

out you,” said Mayor Marc Williams to the committee representatives in the meeting. Issues such as the upcoming RTD Gold Line, city sidewalk projects, park safety, improving access to Arvada Ridge and Arvada’s Comprehensive Plan were discussed. Many of the representatives also highlighted their satisfaction with the city staff and the ease of working with them to make many accomplishments through their

terms. Overall, the council was satisfied with the progress of the boards and commissions, but they agreed there should be more collaboration between the individual boards and also more collaboration with each board on Arvada’s comprehensive plan. The next City Council meeting workshop will be 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, in the Council Chambers at 8101 Ralston Road.

A-West three-peats as 5A Jeffco champs Ralston Valley falls but still expects playoff run By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA — After Arvada West soccer lost a dozen seniors to graduation from last year’s team, most thought its chances to repeat as league champions were lost too. The team’s few seniors not only heard they had no chance at a 5A Jeffco title but also heard they weren’t supposed to be as good as last year’s team.

One of those seniors is team captain Cruz Marquez, who on Wednesday at North Area Athletic Complex scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Ralston Valley to win a third consecutive league title. “All we heard was that we lost so much, and we weren’t going to be as good as last year’s team,” Marquez said. “We aren’t going to be hearing that anymore.” In a game that seemed destined for overtime both teams were stuck at 0-0 for over 70 minutes of game action. However, destiny changed with exactly 10:23 left in the game. Marquez, desperate to make something happen for his

teammates, make a move on a defender just outside of Ralston Valley’s box. Marquez was pulled down to the ground by a frustrated defender and was awarded a free kick. The kick was from straight away midfield and even though the percentages to score from that spot were slim, Marquez ripped a ball low left through a wall of defenders and right past sprawled out Ralston Valley junior goaltender Tony Celano. “I thought I could have caught it a little harder but it turned out out to be just enough,” Marquez said. “I’m a captain. I felt it was my job to make something

happen.” The victory clinches a third straight 5A Jeffco title for an A-West team (12-3, 7-1) that was supposed to finish second this season to Ralston Valley. The Mustangs (10-4-1, 5-3) on the other hand are still recognized as a really good team. Coach Kyle Kamazi has called this team one of Ralston Valley’s best and they still have a chance to prove that at the 5A CHSAA Boys State Soccer Championships starting Thursday. No. 16 Ralston Valley will host No. 17 Fort Collins Thursday. A-West was dubbed a No. 11 seed and will host No. 22 Liberty on Thursday.

Ralston Valley too much for rival Arvada West Wildcats much improved; Mustangs have a lot to prove By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA — Arvada West wanted to use the matchup against Ralston Valley as a measuring stick but it turns out they are still a few inches short. And in a meeting between cross-town rivals the Mustangs beat the Wildcats 41-14 Thursday at North Area Athletic Complex. A-West went toe-to-toe with Ralston Valley early in the game, tying the action 14-14 at one point early in the second quarter. However, the Mustangs showed why they are still one of the perennial powers in 5A football scoring 22 second quarter points, taking a 28-14 lead into halftime.

“We wanted to come out tonight and see where we stacked up against the best,” A-West coach Greg Whisler said. “And at the beginning we were their equals. We just couldn’t keep up.” Ralston Valley running back Kyle Rush had a huge two touchdown day on just a handful of touches. The sophomore had 183 rushing yards on just six carries — one of those a 77-yard touchdown run that left defenders in the dust. The Mustangs improved to 5-3 and 2-2 in 5A North Metro with the victory. Ralston Valley had lost three of its previous five games, but all too very good teams. “If you look at the teams we lost to two of them were undefeated and the other was a one loss team,” Ralston Valley coach Valley continues on Page 25

Jefferson best in history, might miss playoffs Deserving Saints fighting CHSAA for chance at playoff run By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com LAKEWOOD — The Saints continue to march — only they might not get to in the playoffs despite the record setting season. Their latest win came in a 38-21 victory over Lyon Friday at Trailblazer Stadium giving Jefferson yet another historic victory. On a cold night Jefferson got hot offensively scoring 21 first quarter points and then played good defense to hold off a Lyons team that believed they could knock off the Saints. Senior quarterback Cameron Washburn went 14-for-22 for 258 yards and three touchdowns. And senior running back Jovanni Lucero rushed the ball 20 times for an incredible 169 yards and two touchdown. “We jumped on them early and held off a really good team down the stretch,” Jefferson coach Anthony Rankin said. “It was a good win for us.” The victory improved the Saints record to 8-1 and 5-2 in 1A/2A Metro league standings. Jefferson is also approaching the best start in the school’s 65 year history

Jefferson senior receiver Juma Galur makes sure he is lined up properly in a win over Lyons on Friday. Photo by Daniel Williams of they can finish 9-1. The Saints 4-0 start was also the first time they have started the season with four consecutive wins since 1947. The team also won back-to-back homecoming games since the 1980s. However, Jefferson might again be in line for some tough luck. Last season, the

Saints started out 4-3 going into Week 8 fighting for their playoff lives when bad news was delivered. Jefferson was told they had to forfeit all four of those wins due to a player lying about his age on his transcript. So instead of finishing 5-4 in the first winning season since 1996, Jefferson finished 1-8.

They used their misfortune as motivation coming into this season and have proven themselves as a force in Colorado high school football. And now this season Jefferson has been told by CHSAA that they may not get voted in for the top 16 teams to go to the 2A playoffs. The reason Rankin was given for why Jefferson wouldn’t be in the playoffs is because they are a school big enough to play 2A but are in a 1A league (Metro League). If they were to make the playoffs they would be playing up in 2A because they are on a probation period after moving down from 3A to 1A. When a team moves classifications they have to play up a level in the playoffs which would be 2A for Jefferson. The school made the decision to move to 1A after years and years of just getting beat by 50 or more points repeatedly. “I had no say in us moving down as it was done before I had taken over as head coach. We played three 2A schools this season and won all 3. We just played the schedule that was given to us,” Rankin said. Jefferson still has a chance to make the playoffs, as it is still being reviewed by CHSAA. The Saints will attempt to complete the greatest regular season in school history when they play Nederland High School, 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Jeffco football highlights: Pomona falls in overtime Faith Christian wins big again; Green Mountain too By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews. com Alameda: After finding their mojo over the past couple weeks the Alameda Pirates lost it and a 41-7 decision to Conifer Friday at Trailblazer Stadium. The Pirates had previously won back-to-back games for the first time all season beating Arvada and Summit. However, they were no match for Conifer who scored six rushing touchdowns by five different players. Alameda (2-6, 2-2) will play Evergreen Friday at 4 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Arvada: Desperate for their second win of the season the Arvada Bulldogs were narrowly beaten by Summit 43-34 Friday at Summit High School. Arvada junior quarterback Elias De La Rosa threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns, and senior Jesse Jackson rushed for an even 100

yards and a touchdown. But they couldn’t convert down the stretch and Summit beat Arvada for its second win of the season. The Bulldogs (1-7, 0-4) look to carry the momentum for a tough loss into a win they play D’Evelyn Friday, at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Bear Creek: Despite a late game rally the Bear Creek Bears fell to Arapahoe 24-12 Friday at Jeffco Stadium. The Bears fell behind 10-0 but scored a pair of second half touchdown putting them back into the game. However, Arapahoe scored 14 fourth quarter points and held off feisty Bear Creek. The Bears could simply not slow down senior Jose Cancannon who rushed for 117 yards. Bear Creek (3-5, 1-3) will wrap up its season playing Columbine Thursday, at 6 p.m. at Jeffco Stadium. D’Evelyn: The D’Evelyn Jaguars lost a shootout to Lutheran 47-40 Saturday at Trailblazer Stadium. Senior quarterback Connor Mateer threw two interceptions but scored four rushing touchdowns in

D’Evelyn scored 20 second quarter points and then 20 more points in the fourth quarter, but it was the scoreless quarters that did the Jaguars in. D’Evelyn (5-4, 2-3) has lost three consecutive close games. They will wrap up their regular season playing Arvada Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Trailblazer Stadium. Faith Christian: The Faith Christian Eagles wrapped up their regular season with another blowout victory beating The Academy 43-3 Friday at Faith Christian High

School. Senior Jonas Spitzer scored a pair of rushing touchdowns and senior Daniel Langewisch rushed for 117 yards. The win was not only the Eagles’ fifth straight win but it was their fifth straight win by at least 40 points. Faith Christian (7-2, 4-0) won the 2A Flatirons league title and will now wait on a playoff opponent. Golden: The Golden Demons Football continues on Page 26

Matt Loyd said. “We lost a lot from last year but we are still a pretty good team.” Two of the three losses the Mustangs suffered this season were to then undefeated teams in ThunderRidge and Fairview, and their other loss came by one-loss Pomona. The Wildcats (4-4, 2-2) are wildly improved themselves, already winning more games than they did in the past two seasons. Whisler took over a team that had only two wins two seasons ago and he has already brought them back to respectability. “We are gotten a lot better, you can tell by looking at us. But we want to be right there with Ralston Valley and Pomona. We still have some work to do,” Whisler said. Arvada West will play Pomona Friday at 7 p.m. at North Area Athletic Complex. Ralston Valley will play Legacy Friday at 7 p.m. at North Stadium.

‘One Summer’ captures 1927

MOUNTAIN PEAK HEARING Better hearing starts right here.

OuR GuaRantee “One Summer: America 1927” by Bill Bryson 2013, Doubleday $28.95 / $34.95 Canada 528 pages Your summer wasn’t long enough. For starters, May graduations spilled into June. There were reunions, a July vacation, cookouts in August, work and yard work, ball games, kids’ activities, conferences and yikes, your summer was over before you had a chance to enjoy it. Yep, it was too short – but just how meaningful was it? In the new book “One Summer: America 1927” by Bill Bryson, you’ll read about five warm, highly influential months in history. In the spring of 1927, the biggest rivalry since World War I waged over the Atlantic: France and the U.S. vied to see who could cross the ocean in an airplane first. Daredevils lined up to attempt it; some died trying. There was good news for more staid individuals, however: the Literary Guild started their by-mail bookclub in May of 1927, it was newspaper’s “golden age,” and faux-news tabloids were all the rage. It was a good time to be a reader – especially since TV transmission wasn’t accomplished until later that year. Certainly, baseball was America ’s Game then, and the friendly competition between Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig was on every sports fan’s mind that summer of 1927. People debated over who was the better batter but Harry Stevens, an Englishman, made more money from baseball than did either of them. Money was a big consideration when four bankers met in New York “under a cloak of secrecy” in July 1927. Nobody knows exactly what they discussed, but it’s believed that their decisions led to the Great Depression. President Calvin Coolidge was warned about the crisis to come but because he’d decided, that summer of 1927, not to run again for president, he passed the proverbial buck — though not before taking time to dedicate the new Mount Rushmore. Trials were speedy in the summer of 1927 but the majority of murders went unsolved (including ones committed by the U.S. government). Hen-

ry Ford enjoyed good ideas in Detroit, but made bad ones in Brazil . Boxing and “speakies” attracted crowds, Prohibition made them break laws, and a thin, gangly young man named Charles Lindbergh flew into history… At first glance, you’d be forgiven for wondering why author Bill Bryson chose to write a book about a few weeks in 1927. No wars occurred. No charters were signed. It was just another year, almost 90 years ago. But bite into this brick of a book, and you’ll see that “One Summer” is no ordinary story because that was no ordinary season. Bryson, who is a master of humorously wry understatements, takes readers on a meaningful meander through April-to-September when, it seemed, everything

happened. We’re given a lively history in perspective, tickled with sneaky observations and small asides, and presented with a little pop-culture something for everyone. I loved every paragraph. Don’t let the almost-500-page size of this book scare you because, once you start it, you’ll have a hard time putting it down. Once you start it, you’ll see that, like most of them, this is “One Summer” that just isn’t long enough. Terri Schlichenmeyer has been reading since she was 3 and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books. Her email is bookwormsez@yahoo.com.
