Foundation’s tour an informative event Walking tour highlights historic buildings with old legends By Lou Ellen Bromley
bromleyclan@hotmail.com City council member Ken Kreutzer along with Wilma Rose and Melvin Bacon were the three tour guides for downtown Brighton’s historic walking tour, which included about 40 people last Friday night. The building’s showcased on the tour were, Joonbugz Kids Boutique, the Creative U store, Milagros Soap Company, Jordinellis, Brighton Photography and Main Street Creatives. The building had fascinating stories about the business they housed over the years and the people who once owned them. There were even hints of possible hauntings in a few of the old buildings. In Jordiellis and Joonbugz the tour group was allowed to explore in the basements and loft of the buildings to see if secret doors and tunnels existed as Brighton’s history suggested. Guests were also able to look at artifacts left behind by previous owners. The evening ended at the Armory where the Bright’n Jazz band played while coffee and dessert was served. Historians and authors, Albin Wagner and Dan Blegan had booths set up displaying their books about Brighton’s history and giving guests the opportunity to purchase them. Several items were offered at the silent

Show brings out a variety of classic and specialty vehicles By Lou Ellen Bromley
bromleyclan@hotmail.com Antique cars, classic muscle cars, trucks and even a bus were displayed for car enthusiasts to enjoy at the Eagle View Adult Center car show last Saturday morning. Along with the muscle cars and specially cars were several trucks and even a vintage 1957 Vista Liner Trailways bus. The bus, belonging to Dick and Mary Hodge was originally used to carry passengers for Trailways bus lines until 1989. At the time the bus was retired it had over 2.5 million miles on it. The Hodge’s bus was made into a conversion trailer and used for camping. It is complete with kitchen, bedroom and bath. Dick and Mary have added 85,000 miles to the bus since they purchased it. Another interesting car on display was a 1959 Ford Fairlane hardtop convertible owned by E.J. Tomlanson, the original owner. E.J. was given the car as a gift by her parents when she graduCars continues on Page 14

Despite the concerns of the district attorney and the sheriff, the Adams County Board of County Commissioners approved a ballot measure asking voters to authorize a sales tax on recreation marijuana. The 2-1 vote happened during the board’s
Sept. 2 regular meeting. Commissioners Charles “Chaz” Tedesco, District 2, and Eva Henry, District 1, voted in favor. District 3 Commissioner Erik Hansen voted against. If approved, a 3 percent sales tax would be applied to recreation marijuana and recreation marijuana products throughout the entire county, even the incorporated cities. This would affect Northglenn, which allows retail sales, and Aurora which will allow it beginning Oct. 1. Hansen, Sheriff Doug Darr and District Dave Young urged the board to consider not
the sales tax question, but instead if county residents wanted to allow retail marijuana in unincorporated areas at all. Right now the county has a moratorium on retail marijuana that expires at the end of this year. “My concern is we haven’t seen in discussions yet when it comes to public safety,” said Darr. “The district attorney’s office, the educational community, the medical community, the substance abuse community — Marijuana continues on Page 14

Tossing some cold water Brighton to Ft. Lupton and Lochbuie: Cool it! By Lou Ellen Bromley
bromelyclan@hotmail.com Brighton city Mayor Dick McLean and council members Cynthia Martinez, Ken Kreutzer, Mark Humbert and J.W Edwards offered up a challenge to the city council members of the neighboring towns of Louchbuie and Fort Lupton to meet or beat Brighton’s own city council member’s, by having their own members participate in an Ice Water Bucket challenge. The five brave Brighton council members took an icy shower during the Eagle View Adult Center’s car show last Saturday to the delight of visitors. Cooler weather this last weekend made the ice bath all the more difficult on the body and souls of the council members. “Why was it not 96 today?” was the question asked by Councilman Ken Kreutzer as he dried off from the douching of ice cold water. Brighton council members hope that at least five or more members of city councils
Councilmembers J.W. Edwards, Mayor Dick McLean, Cynthia Martinez, Mark Humbert and Ken Kreutzer taking part in the icy water bucket challenge. Photo by Lou Ellen Bromley from Fort Lupton and Louchbuie will meet their fun inspired challenge. After the icy
water challenge was over, it was learned that Saturday was also Councilman Mark
Humbert’s birthday, a cool way to celebrate a birthday.
Council makes appointments Eight city positions filled by council vote By Lou Ellen Bromley bromleyclan@hotmail.com The re-appointment of the municipal judge, deputy municipal judge and the prosecuting attorney were among several appointments made during city councils regular meeting Tuesday Sept. 2. Presiding Municipal Judge Kristin Brown was re-appointed for another term and Wil-
lard B. Hardesty was also re-appointed for another term as deputy municipal judge. Prosecuting Attorney Adam M. Gollin was re-appointed for another two year term as well. The other notable re-appointment was Brighton Historian, Pat Reither, as a professional member of the Brighton Historic Preservation Commission, for a term lasting until January 2018. New appointments included Hugh Frazier, the newest member of Parks and Recreations advisory board from Ward 2, and Kevin Kildow and Joni Fields to the Urban Renewal Authority board. An intergovernmental agreement be-
tween Arvada, Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster and Bennett with the Adams County Sheriff Department was approved by council to provide inmates in the Adams County detention center with beds. Each individual city will work with the county sheriff’s to determine the number of beds and the fees associated with each city. Brighton has determined that an additional amount of six beds should be allocated for inmates that are non-violent at the Adams County detention center for Brighton. City council recognized Boy Scout, Quincy Hanson for his work in cleaning
the designated area around Historic City Hall and weeding and replanting the flower beds at the Historic City Hall in time for the celebration to launch the “It all Grows in Brighton” community brand. United Power presented the city of Brighton a check for $47,100 as part of United Power’s cooperative earnings. As a cooperative member of United Power, the city is a part owner of the company and is entitled to a member of United Power and as such as a share of the excess earning that are returned to all the members. Brighton has 171 accounts and eleven street lights powered by United Power.

External auditor to review stormwater program Board wants an outsider to review administration issues By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com An external auditor is being brought in to investigate the Adams County Stormwater Utility program after an annual financial report showed deficiencies in its administration. Meanwhile, a lawsuit is still pending against the county over the fee, which some objectors claim is a tax. The Adams County Board of Commissioners unanimously decided to bring in the external auditor during its Sept. 2 regular meeting. This decision came a week after the board heard from county staff that more than 12,000 businesses and individuals have not paid their 2014 fee, which represents more than $800,000 in uncollected revenue. There have been complaints that the delinquency notices that were
sent out had incorrect amounts and account numbers. District 3 Commissioner Erik Hansen and Adams County Treasurer Brigitte Grimm coauthored a letter to Adams County internal auditor John Olenberger asking him to investigate the program. The letter states: “We are concerned that the cost of fixing repeated problems is greater than the revenue generated by the utility. We are also concerned that there is a pattern of missteps that have resulted in a serious erosion of the public trust.” Hansen later said in a phone interview, “There are a lot of issues with just the administration of this program.” He pointed out that the program has had issues since the commissioners approved the fee in 2012 — starting with postcards that were sent out to the affected businesses and residences that had inaccurate information. There were errors on the satellite images used to determine how much a person would be charged

for the fee. Hansen voted against the fee in 2012, he said he felt that it was a bad time to add fees to property owners and plus it felt more like a tax to him. The fee was implemented in January 2013 and is charged to property owners in unincorporated Adams County west of Shumaker Road. During the Sept. 2 meeting, District 1 Commissioner Eva Henry suggested bringing in an external auditor instead of the internal auditor. “Since it seems to be the case that the treasurer’s office made many of the mistakes we’re discussing, it is irresponsible to only have the same people look through the data,” she said. She added bringing in the external auditor
would ensure complete financial transparency, remove any perceived politics from the equation and would ensure constituents are not being charged unfairly. Hansen made a friendly amendment, which the rest of the board agreed to, to allow the county attorney to review the external auditor’s results first to determine whether or not it will affect the pending lawsuit before the info is released. “We don’t want to put ourselves in a position where anything would affect the outcome of that lawsuit,” he said. Board Chair Charles “Chaz” Tedesco, District 2, encouraged everyone to be patient and said that the audit would be done.

Martinez knows the ropes
Candidate Martin says ‘citizens first’
By Anne Rhoades
By Anne Rhoades
rhoades.anne@gmail.com Cynthia Martinez, candidate for county clerk and recorder believes she learns something new from someone every day. She said a commitment to collaboration and teamwork is apparent in every aspect of her life, whether it is with her husband Brad Rieke and daughters Catie and Crissy, or at her job. A Northglenn, Colorado, native who attended the Community College of Denver, Martinez has worked for some of the most successful trial attorneys in the Denver area since the early 1980s, serving in a variety Martinez of administrative positions including file clerk, receptionist, legal secretary, legal assistant and office manager. Having experience working with the Colorado Revised Statutes and the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure has given her insight and personal experience with Colorado State Statute, which the clerk and recorder position is governed by. In addition, she is a six-year member of the Brighton City Council where she continues to listen to the public and serve her constituents on policy issues. She believes her time spent as a council member and her administrative legal experience has prepared her well for the clerk and recorder position. When asked about elections, Martinez said, “It is imperative we get our voting results available faster. However, this is a funding issue that needs to be addressed. I would look for a funding source or some type of grant to get additional machines to get the job done more efficiently.” When asked to reflect on other issues within the county, Martinez said, “Adams County is in a good financial position and continues to operate well. Unemployment is at its lowest point, housing is rising and the economy is growing. There are always going to be things that need to be improved, however, we seem to be moving in the right direction. Ad-
ams County citizens are very committed to having the best communities. It is my job to make the Clerk and Recorder’s office efficient, successful and customerservice friendly, and our employees can make that happen.” Martinez maintains that she is the best choice for clerk and recorder in large part because of her experience in working with employees firsthand. She believes in being compassionate and motivating and she contends that employees are an office’s best asset. “They have solutions to our issues because they are experts in their own sectors,” she said. When elected, Martinez said she would first meet with employees and listen to issues and concerns. “Collaborating with the staff is crucial in coming up with an effective plan of action for each section of the clerk and recorder’s office,” she says. Despite the retention of some excellent employees, she feels there has been an issue with turnover. Hiring the right people and then providing the best environment for them is an attainable goal that Martinez feels is worth pursuing. One long term goal Martinez will focus on is to update computer technology in order to increase efficiency. Despite the fact that help is always just a phone call away, in order to stay competitive in the world, Martinez is adamant that technology needs to be competitive and citizens need easy access to information. In addition to teamwork and family, “giving back” to the community is also important to Martinez. For 12 years, Martinez coached competitive cheerleading in Brighton for kids of all ages, competing locally and nationally, a feat that requires a great deal of organization and improvisation. With her legal administrative background, her service with the Brighton City Council and her work in the community, the position of county clerk and recorder feels like a natural progression to Martinez.

rhoades.anne@gmail.com Stan Martin, candidate for county clerk and recorder, credits the people closest to him as his greatest influences. He said Kathy, his wife of 18 years, has taught him to never give up, wake up each day with a purpose, and strive for your goals. From his son Walker he has learned a greater appreciation of the “little things in life,” and credits his parents, siblings, friends and even his wrestling coach for his strong foundation of family values, business ethics, Martin hard work, respect, value placed on education and the importance of giving back. Martin holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science with an emphasis in corporate wellness management, cardiac rehabilitation and business management from Colorado State University and completed world-class internships including ones at the Royal Melbourne University Hospital, Australia, and the Canberra Institute of Sports. He spent a decade working in Colorado at a StorageTek Corporation corporate wellness facility and managing a $6 million private wellness/recreation facility in Superior before founding his own general contracting company, Martin Custom Construction, Inc. in 2001. As owner and operator, he says he gained extensive experience in general management; overseeing and organizing employees, budgets, logistics and customer contacts. As a third-generation Adams County resident and business owner, Martin considers himself a “guardian of citizens’ rights.” “Every decision I make as an elected official will place citizens first. Every citizen will be my boss and they have the ability to hire and fire me, which is ex-
actly how government should work,” he said. Martin is known for his opposition with the stormwater utility fee which Adams County adopted in 2012 without voter approval, which he considers a transgression against himself and “27,500 neighbors and business owners directly impacted by it.” “This lack of citizen involvement has made a profound impact (on me) and has heightened my desire to be more involved in local government. I have a passion for honest, ethical government,” Martin said. “Given the clerk oversees a $7.5 million annual budget and every election process, it is absolutely imperative the clerk is someone citizens can trust to represent their interests. I believe I am that person.” If elected, he says, “I will listen to the citizens in our community, invest in our staff, refine process when necessary, and maintain consistent principled leadership. When elected, I will spend most of my first 90 days observing, listening, and learning.” Martin believes in town halls and open forums to obtain public input. “I will ask citizens if their needs are being met and seek their input for ways to improve transparency, accountability, and efficiency,” he said. His future plans also include making sure “every eligible citizen has access to vote via secret ballot, and that their vote counts,” in addition to collaborating with the Secretary of State’s office to ensure compliance with current laws. Martin points out that Adams County is the fifth largest and fastest growing county in Colorado. One of his many goals as Clerk and Recorder is to have “saleable systems in place to meet our growing needs. I would like to do so in a manner that modernizes our processes, is cost effective and responsible, and that will be a model of which Adams County citizens can be proud.” He can be contacted through his website at www.electstanmartin.com or by phone at 303-993-9590 with questions.

Reasons to feel crowded By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The population of the Denver metro area was expected to exceed 3 million last month, according to state estimates. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs uses the month of July to forecast population numbers annually. The department estimated that the Denver metro area’s population on July 1 would have been 2,994,534 and would have passed the 3 million mark in August. Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer, said the average monthly increase in population in the Denver metro area is 3,551, meaning its population reached 3 million in mid-August. Garner said the growing population can be attributed to a healthy economy in the Denver
area. “There is a high correlation between job growth and population change,” she said. “We’re toward the top in the U.S. in terms of recovery and growing jobs.” Garner said population numbers in Larimer and Weld counties are growing at an even faster rate than the Denver metro area, thanks to high job growth in the oil and gas industry there. But other parts of the state, such as the Western Slope and parts of the southeast, are losing residents. Garner said that can attributed to jobs leaving those parts of the state and not coming back. “If you don’t have a job, it’s hard to stay,” she said.

GERARD HEALEY President MIKKEL KELLY Publisher and Editor GLENN WALLACE Assistant Editor ASHLEY REIMERS Community Editor
Why I can’t unsee what I’ve read about 9/11 I haven’t watched the videos of the recent slayings of American journalists. I’ve read the news accounts and the still photos are horrific enough for me, and I knew that I could never unsee it. But in the theater of my mind, I did see it; in fact, I see it over and over. I see it because I’ve read accounts in the news about what happened, just as I did about the Aurora shootings, and Jessica Ridgeway’s abduction, and the transports and death camps of the Holocaust. I wasn’t a physical witness to any of these, and yet I can see, I can see, I can see these wicked events taking place. Such is the power of words. In September especially, but often throughout the year, my mind returns again and again to the images of the Twin Towers. Like most of us, I watched first in disbelief, then in growing horror, anger, and helplessness. Because of the immediacy, even 13 years ago, of real-time news reporting, I watched September 11, 2001, unfold as I was clustered around a television with dozens of coworkers. The planes, the fires, the collapsing buildings … all seared into our shocked and grieving collective consciousness. I don’t remember if I watched this next part actually taking place, but I’ve seen the photographs of people leaping from
the flaming buildings, caught by the still frames of a camera. And as much as these images haunt me, it’s what I have read that frequents my memory and deepens my sorrow on Sept. 11. I’m referring to a critically acclaimed poem by Brian Doyle, titled “Leap.” Doyle’s opening line, “A couple leaped from the south tower, hand in hand,” sets the scene. If you search the Web for this topic, as I did for this column, you’ll find that some people think the images of a man and a woman holding hands as they fell are a hoax, claiming the pictures are photoshopped. But Doyle relies on eyewitness accounts from people who did the seeing – not just of this couple but also of others, very real people forced to make those harrowing desperate choices. Doyle gives us descriptions from horrified spectators, descriptions made even more chilling in their spare language:
“people ‘leaping as they flew out.’” And “‘falling over themselves’ … ‘too many people falling.’” Doyle also relates the events on the streets below, where pedestrians and a firefighter were killed “by people falling from the sky.” Doyle ends the poem by speculating about the moments leading up to the hand-in-hand plunge. To paraphrase: did they know each other…friends, colleagues? Or were they strangers “thrown together at the window at the lip of hell,” strangers who “held on tight, and leaped….” Through these unblinking words, I make more of a human connection with the victims than I ever could by watching videos or viewing photos. And it’s because I have read “Leap” that I can’t unsee their desperation, the agony in their final acts. But perhaps that’s what needs to happen, so that these victims, too, will never be forgotten, to keep this tragedy in the theaters of our minds. Such is the power of words. Andrea W. Doray is a writer who, not surprisingly, sees things in words. You can find “Leap” at PBS.org, and can hear Brian Doyle read his work on YouTube.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Suspended Bronco belief? We asked folks in Denver if they think the Denver Bronco’s chances at a successful season are diminished on the heels of the NFL suspensions of Wes Welker and Matt Prater.
“Of course we’re going to feel their loss, but not enough to keep us out of the big game at the end of the year.” Aaron David, Denver
“It will impact them. But, as a Vikings fan, I can tell you that Denver is going to be a lot better than us either way.” Kristen Rennerfeldt, Denver
“Personally, I don’t care because I’m a 49ers fan. However, as a fantasy football aficionado, I own Emmanuel Sanders and I kind of planned for this.” Michael Hess, Denver “It won’t derail their season. It’s just a disappointment to the fans.” Tad Rickards, Denver

Senate candidates go head-to-head Grand Junction debate features Udall, Gardner By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although President Barack Obama isn’t on the November ballot this year, he was very much a part of a U.S. Senate race debate that was held in Grand Junction on Sept. 6. The president’s name dominated much of the fall’s first debate between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and Congressman Cory Gardner, his Republican opponent in a race that is of pivotal political importance nationally. Gardner spent the early part of the debate hammering away at Udall for a voting record that is closely linked to the agenda of the Obama administration, which has long been mired in low approval ratings. Those attacks included Udall’s support
for the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature piece of legislation and a law that Gardner focused on much of the debate. “Barack Obama and Mark Udall have put tremendous stress on our country,” Gardner said. But Udall defended his support of Obamacare and said that putting millions more people on health insurance rolls and doing away with insurance companies’ restrictions on pre-existing conditions has been a good thing for the country. The senator also said Obamacare is better than the Republican alternative. “We had a system of health care in this country that discriminated against women and your party has refused to take action,” Udall said. While Gardner tried to tie Obama to Udall throughout the debate, Udall responded toward the end of the debate with an assault on Gardner’s record on women’s issues — something the Udall campaign has been doing since the start of the campaign.
Udall blasted Gardner over a congressional record that the senator said has fallen short on issues of importance to women. Udall highlighted Gardner’s previous votes to de-fund Planned Parenthood and Gardner’s prior support for the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would have resulted in an essential ban on abortion. “Why are you getting in-between women and their doctors?” Udall said. Gardner responded by pivoting to the economy and its impact on women. He also took issue with Udall’s advertising onslaught against Gardner’s record on women’s issues. “Millions of dollars of his message have simply and only been about social issues,” Gardner said. The two are locked in a tight race that could have an impact on the balance of power in the Senate. Democrats currently hold an edge, but that can change if Republicans flip a handful of seats this fall, including Udall’s. The two candidates also sparred on oth-
er issues, including energy development, Social Security and gridlock in Washington D.C. Interestingly, the two candidates were not asked about immigration reform — an issue that continues to go nowhere in Congress. Neither Gardner nor Udall asked each other about immigration when they were given the opportunity to ask their own questions toward the end of the debate. Mostly, the debate featured two Washington elected officials attacking each other’s records. After Gardner attacked Udall on issues that included water rights and homeland security, Udall mocked the congressman’s constant assault on his record. “I’m curious what problem facing our nation I haven’t caused,” Udall said to cheers from his supporters. Gardner’s base reacted similarly to the congressman’s response. “Me too.”
Council reviews police program Two special projects required additional time last week By Lou Ellen Bromley
bromleyclan@hotmail.com An amended study session was held after the regular city council meeting last week so council members could hear details about two different items for Brighton. The first was presented by Brighton Police officers introducing a program called “You have Options.” This program is designed to help victims of sexual assault by giving them more control over the process of reporting and dealing with the protocol involved in the prosecution of sexual offenders. Detective Justin Moore, Sargent Matt Deminico, Officer
Rudy Underwood, Officer Monco Portillo and Victims Services Coordinator Kim Messina were present to explain the program to city council members. The “You have Options” program started in Ashland, Oregon because of two sexual assault cases where the victims gave false information to law enforcement officers because of their fear of the assailant and the fear of not being believed by police. These fears are among the most common barriers for law enforcement when investigating a sexual assault case. Police hope this new program will help break down these and other barriers by providing victims with more control over the investigation and encouraging victims to give correct information. The police officers present at Tuesdays study session will receive special training to achieve the goals set out by this pro-
gram. These goals are, to increase the reporting of sexual assault and to break down as many barriers as possible for the victims, the identification and prosecution of sexual offenders, and a decrease in sexual assault victimization. Officers will also learn how to develop better methods in helping victims of sexual assault by helping them to decide on the level of control and involvement of the situation, and by providing information for the investigation, while offering medical and emotional support to the victims. Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle give an update on the progress of the development of the approximately 650 acres of the Ken Mitchell open space area owned by Brighton. In 2006 the first master plan for the development of the area was created, but since then some changes have been made to the original
plans that required an updated version of that plan. Those changes include, but are not limited to, the addition of the Ergers Pond area, changing a water storage lake into and open space and wetland areas and changing and improving the main entrance to the park to the Aichelman Property, where an entrance currently exists. A new lake is planned be built in the area where the Ready Mix processing plant is currently located and a large regional park is planned be built along the South Platte River. Also included in the plan will be several trails, a fishing pier, a swim beach, a dog park and a wildlife area. Wardle said that although work on the area is progressing it will be approximately 20 years before it is completely finished. He also said part of the area may be available for use in 2017.

Brighton softball season starts strong By Michelle Boyer
Mkboyer8@gmail.com The Lady Bulldogs softball team started off their season with a 1-0 overall league record after achieving a win over Thornton 13-3 Sept. 2. Ayla Robison and Madison Motes both had triples. Kayla Michel added a double. Lindsey Wadsworth, Julianna Montoya and Madison Motes all had two hits. The Brighton team was then defeated by Columbine in the Dave Sanders tournament 7-5 Thursday. The team won the same tournament last year, beating Smokey Hill 20-4. Michel all about passion and the team “We’ve been working hard to pursue our goal,” catcher Kayla Michel said. “I have one goal for this season and that is to help lead the team to a state championship. This season has started off to a good start. We have seven girls all in different positions.” This is Michel’s third year as a team captain. “My job is to be a leader on and off the field,” she said. “I need to keep the girls motivated and be a help to all of them.” Softball has been a part of Michel’s life for 10 years. “I used to love sports as child, but I fell in love with softball,” she said. “I love the speed of the game and the feeling it gives me when I play it. Softball is definitely my passion.” She said she also enjoys basketball and her team. She loves to keep in shape and appreciates all the amazing people she’s met. Playing catcher hasn’t always been her position. She said she used to be pitcher when she was younger. “I love how I’m one of the leaders on the field,” she said. “I’m involved in every single play I’ve only played catcher during my high school career.”
Brighton catcher Kayla Michel is ready with the softball to throw an out to third if needed. Brighton cruised past Thornton 13-3, for their first league game at home on Sept. 3. Photo by Michelle Boyer Besides high school softball, she’s also played club for the Colorado Stars. She also plays first and third base when she plays club ball. “I’m so excited to be a senior this year,” Michel said. “I’m committed to Chadron State. I’m going to major in elementary
education, and also pursue my dreams and continue softball there.” Michel’s batting average thus far this season is .500. She’s also made two doubles. “Kayla has been an all-conference player for her first three years, and is playing at a level to earn those honors again,” Coach
Bob Gonzales said. “She’s been a great leader for the program and a good teammate. She’s had a good career with Brighton and will continue on in college. Our program has been fortunate to have her and she’ll be missed. Her numbers will establish her as one of the best players in Brighton History.”
Split week for football teams Thunderhawks soar 40-0, but Bulldogs fall 13-0 By Michelle Boyer Mkboyer8@gmail.com In week two of high school football, Prairie View restricted the visiting Mountain Range team from getting onto the scoreboard 40-0. “Mountain Range is a very tough and physical team,” Coach Todd Riccio said. “We were able to put an entire game together and all the phases together. We didn’t beat ourselves this week, like we did against Horizon in week one. Our entire team played well and should be recognized.” Corey Orr put the Thunderhawks on the scoreboard after intercepting the ball and running for a 30 yard touchdown. Jeremy Velasco rushed for 86 yards scoring a touchdown. Quarterback Ben Meraz also ran in a touchdown. RJ Ramirez rushed for 30 to score after the half, and Tavish Whelan went for the 2 point conversion. On defense, Donovan Otero and Nick Montoya helped further shut out the Mustangs. The Bulldogs couldn’t put the numbers on the board this week at Mountain Vista. “Last week we talked about not digging ourselves a hole and how hard it is to come from behind,” Brighton Coach Pat Sandoval said. “We did reach our goal of starting fast. This week we needed to capitalize on scoring in the red zone, any time we’re in the red zone we should score, seven times and we walked away with zero, turning the ball over at critical times is costly, penalties at costly times hurt.” Sandoval felt the team improved from the first game on the aspect of penalties and trying to score in the red zone. “When we
did get called for the penalty, it was in the red zone,” he said. “Remember we’re young and still maturing as the season progresses. From the quarterback to the offensive line, we’re getting better. We just need to put a whole game together.” Sandoval said the score was 0-0 until the fourth quarter. “I thought our defense played well, especially the defensive secondary,” he said. “The linebackers played solid. We also need to improve on the defensive line.” This week a lot of the Brighton athletes were out as a result of illness, and Sandoval said that doesn’t help the team. “I could come up with a whole bunch of excuses, but as I tell my players … no excuses, no explanations,” he said. “This game was a very winnable game, we didn’t capitalize when needed. We’ll get better, we’ve improved.” Brady Jacovetta is all about football Brighton quarterback Brady Jacovetta said his team is doing well, despite their two losses to start their season. “In week one and week two we were an entirely different team,” he said. “We played very well and we just need to keep improving like we did last week going forward into this season. I think we’ll do very well.” Jacovetta started playing football in eighth grade. He said some of his friends told him he should try out. During that time the team needed a quarterback and he’s been playing quarterback ever since. He’s never played any other position. “My favorite thing about playing quarterback is that I know my teammates have my back in hard situations, and I have theirs,” he said. “My least favorite thing is when my team isn’t playing too good and everyone blames it on the QB sometimes.” This season Jacovetta wants to help his

team in every way possible to become a better team. “Brady is a very good athlete,” Sandoval said. “He’s in his first year of starting at the varsity level, and it takes time to get experience and gain confidence in his decision making on the offensive line. He’s a tough competitor and I like him leading us into conference play.” This week Brighton starts league play, facing Northglenn at home on Friday at 7 p.m. “We learn from our non-conference games and start fresh 0-0 going into league,” Sandoval said.
Brighton is in the Flat Irons League this year, and not the East Metro Athletic Conference, even though the rest of the high school’s athletic programs belong to the EMAC. “Northglenn is going for their first win of the season just like us,” he said. “We’ll be prepared. We’re hungry. We’ll play hard and it’s at home. I like our chances.” Prairie View travels to Montbello on Saturday for a 1 p.m. kickoff. “They’ll be tough and athletic. We need a great week of preparation to be on top of our game with them,” Coach Riccio said.

T-Hawk golfers claim EMAC title third straight year Hunter Nicholas confident after awarded Player of the Year By Michelle Boyer
Mkboyer8@gmail.com For the third straight year the Prairie View High School boys’ golf team took the East Metro Athletic Conference title. The team beat Brighton by six strokes and went on to win the title after playing two Majors at Murphy Creek and Legacy Ridge Sept. 4. “The kids worked hard and earned a tough third EMAC title in a row,” Coach Dan Hamilton said. “Leading the scoring was Hunter Nicholas with a combined score in two majors of 78. Hunter also won the individual title by one stroke. Andy Yang tied for second on the individual, and was one stroke behind Hunter. “The team won the title with Hunter and Andy both shooting 78, and Taron Ford shooting an 81. The rest of the varsity champs are Carter Nordhus, Diego Nolasco, Justin Cutler, Greyson Taylor and Jacob Jose.” Four of the eight varsity players made all-conference: Diego Nolasco- third team all-conference; Taron Ford-second team all-conference; Andy Yang and Hunter Nicholas both made all-conference. Andy Yang was last year’s Player of the Year, and this year Hunter Nicholas was named the Player of the Year as he won individual honors for the EMAC conference. Coach Hamilton would like to extend a special thank you to Coach John Layton and Coach Michael Jurkiewicz. Nicholas has played golf for six years. The sophomore plays No. 3 on the Prairie View team, but said his best rounds of golf this season have been at the Legacy Ridge tournament and at Murphy Creek, where he both shot a 78. “I’m pretty confident about my chances of going to state this year,” he said. “The Player of the Year award is a huge honor,” he said. “Getting it as a sophomore is … awesome.” Regionals for Prairie View will be Sept. 16 at Meadow Hills Golf Course. “If we do well there then it’s onto state,” Hamilton said.
Running better each day Mordecai competitive runner for Bulldogs By Michelle Boyer

Running seems to come as almost second nature for Brighton senior Dan Mordecai. He’s been running for seven years and started competitively when his running coach Carl Arnold, III came into the picture. “He’s just a guy who’s passionate for winning and that rubs off on you after a while,” Mordecai said. “Running is easy when you have some good inspiration. I’ve trained with the best runners like Angel Garza and Nick Desplinter.” Mordecai’s best time has been 16 minutes, 28 seconds that he accomplished last season. He hopes to drop that time this year. “My goal this season is to just get better each day,” he said. Last season Mordecai made school history for Brighton as he was the first individual state runner ever on the boys’ side. He placed 75th out of 200 with a time of 17:57. Brighton competed in the Joe Vigil Invitational at Alamosa Sept. 6. Mordecai finished second overall with a time of 16:23.09. On the girl’s side, Caitlin Cunningham finished 11th with a time of 20:56.28 and Kaila Green finished 17th in a time of 21:21.61. The girls’ team finished fifth overall with the boys’ team finishing seventh. Brighton competes in the Fort Morgan Invitational Friday at 4 p.m.

It sounded like a match made in Republican heaven when Monica Owens, daughter of former Gov. Bill Owens and ex-wife Frances, and John Beauprez, professional poker player and marketing specialist and son of governor wannabe Bob Beauprez and wife Claudia, got engaged on the Fourth of July. And if the upcoming gubernatorial election goes their way, Monica could have the distinction of being the daughter and daughter-in-law of two Colorado governors. The cute couple celebrated their engagement among friends and family on Aug. 30. On her Facebook page, Monica said that as of Aug. 28, the wedding was exactly six months away. Monica, a Republican pundit and owner of Owens Public Affairs, and John, who’s all over social media for his poker prowess, found each other when John’s mom, Claudia, strategically seated the young’uns next to each other at a black-tie dinner. And just in case you want to give the betrothed a wedding gift, they are registered at www.registry.theknot.com/ monica-owens-john-beauprez-february-2015/9018648.

Kevin Taylor comes to Aurora
Denver’s Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group, helmed by renowned chef Kevin Taylor, will open a new restaurant and beer hall in the recently announced development Stanley Marketplace at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora, just a few feet from the southern border of Stapleton. Unlike Taylor’s other Denver restaurants, which include Palettes at the Denver Art Museum, Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House and Limelight Supper Club & Lounge, this restaurant and beer hall will exist in a casual industrial atmosphere, highlighting the architecture of the former Stanley Aviation Building, where airplane ejector seats were manufactured for roughly 50 years. The menu will offer items made with locally sourced produce, as well as craft beer and local wines and spirits. “I’m excited to move forward with our next venture in a different way,” said Taylor. “Approachable restaurants are the future, and I believe we can provide the level of cuisine for which we’re known, but in a way that is appealing to everyone, and fits within Stanley, and the surrounding community, perfectly.”
Union Station eatery opens
Alex Seidel, winner of Food & Wine magazine’s 2010 Best New Chef and owner of Denver’s award-winning Fruition Restaurant, has carried his culinary talent to the historic Union Station redevelopment project on Wynkoop Street with the opening of Mercantile Dining & Provision on Sept. 8. Reservations for evening dining at Mercantile Dining & Provision can be made on www.opentable.com or by calling 720-460-3733. For more information, visit www.mercantiledenver.com.

Youth, housing and happiness Council hears variety of reports at study session By Lou Ellen Bromley bromleyclan@hotmail.com Brighton City Council heard about future plans for residential housing, youth services and “love letters,” during a Sept. 9 study session. Youth Services Manager, Tawnya Russell gave an update on the master plan for the city’s Brighton Children, Youth, and Family Master Plan created in 2007. She explained parts of the original master plan that have been implemented, and worked well, while other parts have not
worked well or have never been implemented because of changes in staff and economic changes in Brighton over the last several years. The master plan was developed to help provide services in the areas of Early Childhood Development, Education, After School Programs, Health and Safety, Finances and Neighborhood and Community development. One successful program was the creation of the Brighton Youth Commission. The presentation outlined the steps that have been taken by Youth Services Division now, and those to be taken in the future to ensure the needs of the community be met, said Russell. Community Development Director,
Holly Prather presented an overview of the current residential development in areas in and around Brighton. Prather listed several housing development sites that are currently active, and several that are not, due to possible changes needed to continue development between the city and the developers, or financial changes by developers preventing them from moving forward at this time. Each member of the city council presented their ideas on what they would like to see done with money from the “Love Notes” program. The program is an idea by city council to provide money in the amount of up to $500 to create and activity or finance an improve or repair to something in Brighton.
The basis of the program is the idea “If you had $500 how you would use it to improve the city of Brighton.” The original idea came from Peter Kageyama, author of the book For the Love of Cities. Some of the dozens of suggestions: to create more children’s events in town, create community gardens, more bike rides, free movie events downtown and at Prairie plaza, a downtown “tailgate” party during football games, starting a donation to have a traffic light installed at the intersection at 27th and Southern, repairing all the soap dispensers in the city parks restrooms, and to build more bike trails. Council suggested implementing this program very soon, and see what great things will come out of it.
Rivals for governor trade jabs in debate Hickenlooper, Beauprez meet on Western Slope By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Congressman Bob Beauprez swapped barbs during a lively debate in Grand Junction on Aug. 6, marking the first time the two gubernatorial rivals squared off this fall. On almost every debate topic — ranging from hydraulic fracturing to the death penalty and the state of the economy — the two traded jabs over who would be the better man to lead the state over the next four years. The debate’s energy was aided by a lively audience that often interrupted the candidates with cheers and boos. That was especially the case toward the end of the debate,
when Hickenlooper and Beauprez were given the opportunity to ask each other a series of direct questions. Beauprez used his first question to attack the governor over his evolving position on the death penalty, focusing on the governor’s decision last year to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap, the death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. “Yes or no, will you assure the people here tonight … that you will not grant clemency to Nathan Dunlap?” Beauprez asked. Hickenlooper — who once supported the death penalty, but who recently said he no longer does — said he has “no plans to revisit my decision and my decision stands.” “Government shouldn’t be in the business of taking people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Meanwhile, Hickenlooper turned the ta-
bles on Beauprez on another issue that the former congressman has used to criticize the governor — fracking. Hickenlooper touted his work on reaching a compromise on local control issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. The compromise kept anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot — a result Beauprez had also wanted. “You said you wanted the ballot measures off the ballot and I did that, so can I count on your vote?” Hickenlooper said. Beauprez offered an icy response. “I think you know the answer to that,” he said. Hickenlooper is pro-fracking, but has also guided tough regulations on the oil and gas industry that aim to limit potential environmental and health impacts of drilling. Beauprez said those regulations are only hurting an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state.
“Other states are more open for business for energy development and that’s where the jobs are going,” Beauprez said. The two candidates also shared sharp exchanges on economic issues. Hickenlooper highlighted an economy that has improved under his watch, one that has resulted in 33 months of consecutive job growth and an unemployment rate that continues to drop. But Beauprez said that the economy would be in a lot better shape if the government simply stayed out of the way of business. Beauprez said state regulations are largely responsible for that. Beauprez also blasted federal regulations and the Affordable Care Act. That led to criticism from Hickenlooper for focusing on issues that are handled at the congressional level. “Maybe you should be running for Congress if you want to go back and tackle the federal issues,” Hickenlooper said.

ated High School. “Everything on the car is still original” said E.J. talking about this rare classic Ford called Queenie. Queenie has a long history with the Tomlanson family including being the car they used to bring their first child home from the old Brighton hospital. Eagle View Adult Center provided coffee and donuts for all car owners and guests at the car show and music was provided by the Bright’n Jazz Band during the show. Guests were also entertained by the Brighton City council’s Ice Bucket Challenge, done before a large crowd on the front lawn of the Center.

I believe they ought to have the opportunity to weigh in. More importantly the people who live within the communities in the neighborhoods ought to have something to say about it. They need to know what their community will look like.” Young added that his concern was not about the “40-year-olds or the adults who smoke marijuana for recreational purposes. It’s the message we give our kids

when we allow marijuana industries to come to Adams County. That it’s OK to have marijuana.” He said the advertising done by retail marijuana stores could prompt teens to smoke it, which makes efforts to reduce truancy and drop-out rates harder to accomplish. The sale of retail marijuana and retail marijuana products is currently taxed by the state of Colorado with a small percentage of the tax being shared back among all of the communities, according to county attorney Heidi Miller. “The current state sales and excise tax structure on retail marijuana and retail marijuana products is not designed to
provide an equitable share back of the tax revenue to the communities from which revenue is derived,” she said. If voters approve the 3 percent sales tax on retail marijuana and retail marijuana products the revenue would pay for educational programs and for direct and indirect costs incurred by the county related to regulating and licensing such establishments, Miller said. Henry and Tedesco stressed that passing the sales tax measure would not mean retail marijuana establishments could operate in unincorporated Adams County — that is a decision the board will have to make by 2015. Tedesco said it was the board’s respon-

sibility to ensure tools were in place in case the current or future boards do decide to allow marijuana retail. Plus, he added, the county needed to address the cities that do allow these establishments — Northglenn and Aurora. Hansen, who voted against placing the tax measure on the ballot, said while he respected the voters’ decision in 2012 to decriminalize recreation marijuana use, he did not think most voters wanted retail establishments in their neighborhoods. According to the ballot language, the county expects to generate $1,260,000 annually in the first fiscal year (2016) if the tax measure passes.
