Breaking ground on home for curling Sport has been rising in popularity

By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com The Lakewood area is on the road to becoming the home of the first dedicated curling center in the Denver area.

The Denver Curling Club (DCC) broke ground Oct. 29 on the location of its site, 14100 W. Seventh Ave., near the Denver West and Colorado Mills shopping area, by 6th Avenue and Indiana Street.

The weather was cold and cloudy, but the more than 20 people in attendance were in warm spirits, making cracks with each other about how it was perfect curling weather.

“This is an exciting time in DCC history,” Matt Culbertson, vice president of the club told attendees. “I’m really thinking this is something that’s going to last in the community.”

According to Pam Finch, president of the DCC, the center will be the only ice between Seattle and Bismarck, N.D., dedicated to training. The center would be used to help youth, junior, adult, senior and wheelchair curlers prepare for national, international, Olympics and Paralympics competition, as well as a location to host regional and national events.

Currently the club uses The Ice Ranch in Littleton.

The facility is estimated to cost around $2.5 million, and the aim is to have it built by spring of 2014. The Jefferson County Commissioners apPOSTAL ADDRESS

The 4.7-acre site will also house the future Colorado State Patrol Museum and Learning Center, who have been extremely supportive of the curling center.

According to Finch the fundraising efforts are still in the works, but she said the center has been lucky in all the support it has received.

“We’ve raised funds through donations, corporate donations and loans,” she said. “The land we’re using was donated by the owner, and that’s been a huge help.”

Scott Stevinson, who is heading up the building committee, spoke at the ground breaking, saying the process to finding a new home has tested everyone in club , but that the process has been

challenging, interesting and rewarding.

“It was the blending of talents of our people that made this work,” he said.

“We’re all very encouraged by the enthusiasm. We really believe we’re doing something unique.”

Jen Nguyen, who helped formed the University of Denver’s curling club, is also a member of the DCC board, and said that seeing this first step completed is something that many have been waiting for.

“Curling on real ice is something that people don’t really understand until they do it,” she said. “There are a lot of people who might be interested in this that are hiding, but hopefully this center will bring them out.”

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com It goes without saying Golden is “Where the West Lives,” but it is also “Where Innovation Lives” based on a stirring exhibit by the Golden History Center’s newest display, “Made in Golden” The exhibit begins with the story of David King, Golden’s first resident and innovator, who traveled from Indiana in 1958 looking to find wealth by “mining the miners” with the use of his handy green thumb. By 1859 King found a way to divert water from Clear Creek to his garden, and was the leading provider for fresh produce for Denver’s citizens.

Jump ahead 100 years later, and you have Coors accomplishing a renowned invention for a more reliable and eco-friendly beverage can — the aluminum can.

“For the exhibit we define innovation as a new solution to an old problem,” Mark Dodge, curator for Golden History Museums said. “That’s the framework that we kind of hang this story on.”

Continuing down the timeline, you have Samuel Reed and his Reed Speakers, more widely recognized as the drivein movie speakers and junction head they dangled from during the companies heyday in the 1960s and ‘70s.

For a more modern look into Golden’s newest inventions and innovators, there is the offshoot of Coors Tek and its production of body armor and ceramic helicopter seats for the U.S. Military to laser printers

by Epilog, one of four major companies in the world that produce’s low wattage CO2 lasers.

“We like to say that history is not just what happened 150 years ago but it’s what happened yesterday as well,” Doug Skiba, development and communications coordinator said.

With 150 manufacturing companies in Golden, it took Dodge 18 months to outline and organize his idea for this unique exhibit. “That is a lot of businesses, we Innovators continues on Page 5

2 The Transcript

November 7, 2013

A Facebook page that’s not antisocial media Sept. 22 … that was a really lovely thing you did today, giving flowers to the girls who weren’t asked to homecoming. … It was really good to see that someone cared enough to put some good hard effort into being a good person. For a lot of us it was the highlight of our day. … Thank you so much, really.

March 5 The other day when everyone in the west atrium pitched in to help the janitors clean up/stack chairs/fold tables? Ya. That was really cool.

If you scroll through the Facebook Compliments page of Lakewood High School, you’ll come across many more just like these.

“Positive words,” senior Olivia Ehret says, “have the power to change the community.”

One could say that is her mantra and why, almost a year ago, she and a friend decided to duplicate the Compliments page she had stumbled upon on the University of Southern California website.

“Oh, gosh, I was entranced by it,” Olivia remembers. “I scrolled on it for two hours.

I thought if it could be implemented on such a huge campus as USC, it definitely could at Lakewood.”

Compliments, after all, are just one more way of spreading a little kindness.

But the accolade-filled Facebook pages also reflect a positive use of social media in an age when it is often used as a tool for meanness and spitefulness.

Consider the recent suicide of a 12-yearold Florida girl, who investigators say killed herself after continued online harassment by two other girls, 12 and 14. There have been many other such cases reported. Federal government studies report 52 percent of students have been cyberbullied and

25 percent repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet.

The faceless nature of social media makes it alarmingly easy to be unkind, to cause hurt without feeling or seeing the effects or repercussions. Although many describe social media as impersonal, it’s actually quite the opposite. Plenty of emotion flies across the networked miles — sadly, it’s often the hateful kind.

Which is what is so nice about a Compliments page: It puts the heart back into the words.

Oct. 30 We only recently talked, but you are an amazing person inside and out. I love how you aren’t afraid to be yourself, it is really inspiring! The nice things you say can make people’s day, like it did mine!

One of the first such uses of social media occurred in October 2011 when a young man at Iowa City West High School created a Twitter Compliments account as a way to fight back against cyberbullying in the area. The account took off, tweeting more than 3,000 messages in three months.

Several other high schools followed, and then universities, including Columbia, Penn State and Brown, spurred the trend with Facebook pages that, for the most part, remain anonymous by asking users to

send compliments to an inbox from which administrators then tag the messages to the recipient’s News Feed. That’s how it’s done at Lakewood High School.

“It’s just a nice way for people’s days to be brightened,” Olivia says. “The beauty is in the mystery.”

Although the Lakewood page wasn’t started as a response to cyberbullying, Olivia believes it helps keep the negativity and meanness at bay. In almost a year, there’s only been one comment she’s removed.

“I think we’d be a lot more positive and healthy society” if we said nicer things to each other, she says. “People would have better self-images of themselves and feel more open communication with other people. And maybe there would be less instances of bullying if people didn’t feel so isolated and lonely.”

March 12 Seeing this page makes me want to transfer to Lakewood as soon as possible.

I’ve seen bullying all around at my school.

There’s NO ONE that has the courage to compliment one other here. I appreciate how everyone treats each other well. …

There is an art to complimenting, though.

It must be sincere. It must be truthful.

Otherwise, it loses the power to uplift and could do just the opposite, says Michael Karlson, a professor at the University of Denver’s graduate school of professional psychology. An insincere compliment makes you “wonder if that other person doesn’t respect you or know you.”

But a genuine one can work a little magic.

“It can activate a positive image of yourself,” Karlson says. “Sometimes, when we’re feeling depressed and incompetent, it’s a

reminder of who we usually are.”

Olivia would agree.

“A lot of people they say the compliments have been posted at just the right time,” she says, because “they were having a rough time.”

March 13 To the girl in the bathroom who said I was pretty. … Thanks. I really needed that right then.

Olivia, quite wise at 17, has an idea about why we aren’t as kind as we could be — we’re afraid of the reaction, of what people might think of us.

“Society is kind of closed off in the sense that when we see something positive about someone we keep it to ourselves,” she says, “especially when it’s someone we don’t know that well.“ We need to take the leap. It’s not that difficult.

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak,” a Missionaries of Charities Sisters once said, “but their echoes are truly endless.”

If we find we can’t say them, maybe we can write them.

Oct. 13, via mobile Luka Savarie, I don’t know you at all. But I think you seem like such a cool and down to earth person. Also your haircut is SO cute.

23 like This made my night. (smiley face) thank you so much you lovely, lovely person.

And that says it all.

Fly fisherman reels in spot on team

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ ourcoloradonews.com Nick Adler, manager at Golden River Sports, sits at a desk inside the shop dominated with angler gear, building a fly fishing rod. He’s has an attentive demeanor and sports a heavy thick beard.

He’s pretty proud of his new found fly fishing buddy, Jeremy Sides, who earned his place on the Fly Fishing Team USA or FFTUSA after coming in 7th at the 2013 National Fly Fishing Championships held in Basalt, Colo. in early October.

“To have him finally have all of that hard work that’s put in payoff is huge,” Adler said. “It’s been something that he’s wanted for a long time.”

Originally from Virginia, Sides began fly fishing when he was 15 years old, and for the last 16 years, he has split his time between work and fly fishing.

“I don’t think I’m more at peace anywhere than on a river,” Sides said. “It really is the best therapy in the world.”

Sides spent many years learning the required fly fishing methods to

qualify for regional competitions including European nymphing techniques; a style that involves a fly that goes underwater as opposed to a dry-fly which floats on top of the water. He also had to perfect his skills for lake fishing aside from the usual river fishing.

“The coolest thing about it is the people you meet,” Sides said.

He broke the previous single session FFTUSA record for most fish caught on a lake in a three-hour session with 69 trout over 8 inches.

Competitions are all catch and release, and they use barbless hooks to prevent foul hooked fish.

The Fly Fishing World Championships have been dominated by European countries such as France, Italy and Czechoslovakia, Sides said. But in the last 8 years or so, the U.S. is rising up in the ranks. In 2016, world championships will be held in Vail.

“The USA is getting really good, we’re a force to be reckoned with now,” he said. “It’s super humbling to be a part of it.”

Online website linked it bullying Law enforcement agencies concerned with Ask.fm

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@ourcoloradonews.com School-aged children continue to surrender their privacy to online social networking sites that are developing not only in America but across the globe. Now one site has brought serious attention from Jeffco’s District Attorney’s office.

Ask.fm, a Latvian based web site has been linked to numerous online bullying activities resulting in teen suicides, according to the Jeffco DA’s office. Investigators have received at least 30 inquiries from parents, teachers and students about the site in the past three weeks.

The site is set up as a Q&A forum, where a user creates a profile and they are then able to ask and answer questions to and from other users.

In the last year, Ask.fm has responded to numerous media stories conveying the warnings from law enforcement agencies about the site, including a change to privacy settings. Users are now able to turn off questions from anonymous users, and they can also block users who may be harassing them.

“The problem with it is 90 percent of the people asking the questions do it anonymously, a lot of those kids don’t take those privacy precautions, and it’s alarming,” said Mike Harris, senior investigator and CSOII, child sex offender internet investigator, supervisor for Jeffco DA. “The most alarming thing though is a lot of parents don’t know what’s out there.”

Ultimately, parents need to be more aware of their children’s online activities with a better understanding of the many different social apps available that expose their children to not only bullying but also sexual predators, he said.

Harris, who created and heads the CHEEZO unit at the Jeffco DA’s office, a department dedicated to online safety for children, is an expert in the latest social networking trends for children. His school presentations target students primarily in the 4th to 9th grades, but he also discusses online safety to children as young as four.

Harris’ message is the same as when he first started internet investigations 17 years ago, “only talk to people that you know face to face,” he said. “If they would do that we would have hardly any problems.”

Jurisdiction for overseas websites has also been a hurdle for Jeffco’s investigators who face obstacles when trying to identify a person who has posted inappropriate questions to a user. When dealing with U.S. companies, search warrants are the methods used to obtain IP addresses but the method is ineffective when stretching across countries and continents. “Trying to get internet

only tease out a half a dozen at best,” Dodge said. “That’s pretty amazing for such a small community.”

Of the 150 companies in Golden, many more have called in to the Golden History Center requesting a spot in the exhibit.

But due to limited space, staff is unable to showcase more companies at the history center.

Interactive features have been integrated into the exhibit including the Epilog laser printer that engraves the exhibit’s logo

Parent online tiPs These are the two most popular apps a parent can download to help track their child’s online activity: Norton: onlinefamily.norton.com/familysafety/ nofToGo.fs Asbury: www.ashburymdm.com/ Tips from law enforcement: Consider setting a “technology” curfew, with a cell phone check-in each night to prevent children from communicating during the night Protect personal information including turning off GPS tracking on the phone and any social networking apps Check your child’s apps and set social web site accounts to private Install an Internet filter or family safety software that may be available with an Internet service provider Limit the amount of “friends” who can access the child’s account Keep computers, phones including tablets out of a child’s bedroom

service providers and social networking sites that are outside of the United States to cooperate with our law enforcement subpoenas is very difficult,” he said. Most companies, even ones located near the U.S. like Canada, are uncooperative.

Other websites Harris listed that kids may use include KIK, Snapchat, tag.com, and meetme.com. There are also sites that offer free texting services children can use who may be cut off from texting like textplus and textnow. These sites can allow texting capabilities from a computer such as an iPOD or iPAD rather than a mobile device.

Ross Hall, senior director for strategic communications at Ask.fm said in a statement to the Transcript that what makes Ask.fm unique and popular is the option for anonymity. However, it does not mean users who chose to remain anonymous are not accountable or traceable, Hall said.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale

Jefferson County – According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

opinions / yours and ours

Hit the gas on the road less traveled “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” From the Robert Frost poem, “The Road Not Taken.”

Have you been there, faced with a tough decision or at a crossroad in your life? And if so, did you take the road less traveled or did you follow the path where the ground had been cleared and maybe just a little bit easier to traverse?

I have found myself at that decision point on more than one occasion, a true crossroad in my life. And maybe it’s the closet poet in me and huge fan of Robert Frost, but I, in most cases, seem to take the road less traveled. In most cases it has served me well and set me on a new course, adventurous tour, and wild ride.

But just as the poem reads, “… and that has made all the difference.”

And then there have been those few times where I followed the masses, accepted the easy path, went along to get along, and I found myself either bored or disappointed, always wondering what would have been or could have been had

I chosen the road less traveled. You see, I am not a very good “yes” man, and when I find myself at a decision point, especially a critical decision point, I need to be able to evaluate my options and determine what most others might choose to do, and dig in deeper to the “why” behind their decisions. And this is what usually triggers my decision to try an alternate route.

When people share with me where they are in the crossroads of their own life, I often encourage them to take the time to clearly write out all of the options, all of the pros and cons, and to visualize each option as if they actually made the

decision to pursue that option. What is the best possible outcome? What is the worst possible outcome? What are they willing to live with or accept? And what are the nonnegotiables or things they are not willing to compromise?

Some people are facing serious crossroads about their jobs, relationships and friendships, or new business ventures.

And although we talk about all of the options, pro’s and con’s, and possible outcomes we also discuss the inherent risks involved with taking the road less traveled. It is extremely important when committing to one path or the other that we carefully weigh all of the risks as well as all of the upside. It is very easy to see all the potential and amazing possibilities because that is how many of us believe we are programmed. And I strongly encourage that we take this positive attitude and approach because as we see it and believe it, we can achieve it. But we need to balance that optimistic outlook with the potential risks and downside.

This is why when we are faced with a

decision point or at a crossroad that we should surround ourselves with strong friends, wise advisers and people we absolutely trust to be our sounding board and help us walk through our options and thought processes around each important decision we need to make.

Do I take more risks than I should?

Yes. Are they educated risks or guesses? In most cases. Do I follow my heart, my gut, and attempt to balance that with what is going through my head? Yes. But at the end of the day, as Robert Frost says, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”

I would love to hear all about what you do at the crossroads of your life at gotonorton@gmail.com and I really do believe that this will be a better than good week.

Dare to fail to succeed I try not to let things I hear on TV have much of an effect on my life. In fact, by and large, I try not to hear things on TV. But, nevertheless, some things sneak in.

The other night, I was winding down, and I flipped on a rerun of the medical drama “House,” just in time to hear the cantankerous star of the show utter this phrase to an underling: “What you did was GREAT! It was wrong, but it was great! You should feel great about doing something great; you should feel (terrible) that it was wrong. He – he thinks we do our jobs and let the chips fall as they may; you and I think what we do here matters. He sleeps better at night.

He shouldn’t.”

That idea really struck a chord with me.

In the show, one of the doctors tried an innovative approach to curing a difficult case. It was bold, and it was courageous — and it was wrong. The patient got worse.

The “he” refers to another doctor who was unwilling to attempt to cure the patient, but was content to reduce the patient’s problem to a chronic discomfort.

I am fan of failure — anybody who knows me knows that. And, no, it’s not just because I’ve gotten comfortable with it.

Actually, I should rephrase that: I despise failure, but I relish every opportunity to fail, because those come with opportunities for greatness. I like failure because you learn more from failure than you ever do from success. You learn about your faulty thought processes, you learn about your weaknesses, you learn to adjust your expectations to a world that often expects more than you do.

But, most importantly, you learn that failure is never the end of the story, unless you give up. Failure, more often than not, is just the beginning of great success. Remember the Broncos’ first Super Bowl win?

They didn’t have a perfect season—they lost four games. And, on their way through the playoffs to the Super Bowl, they beat

two of the teams that they lost to during the season and the team that surprisingly knocked them out of the playoffs the year before.

Fear of failure keeps more people from trying to do great things than lack of imagination, than lack of resources, or than any other problem going.

Thomas Edison had no such lack of courage; neither did the Wright brothers, or Henry Ford. Some of our brilliant minds from history were even so bold as to take accidents and turn them into great discoveries, like Marie Curie and Alexander Fleming.

What about you? Did you try to do something great today? This week? This year?

Ever in your life?

To try to do what is great is hard, it is personally taxing, and it brings with it the prospect of great failure. And doing something of significance can cause a few sleepless nights.

But to just “phone it in” day after day is not what you were put on this earth to do.

Humans are the only animals that have the capacity for greatness . . . don’t waste it on sleep.

Arvada Center future in flux For as long as it has been the “crown jewel” of its community, the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities has sprouted thorns through that crown — a reasonable defense for an organism born to be “all things to all people.” At Wednesday evening’s presentation on the Proposed Arvada Center Organization Model, former Arvada Mayor and longtime Center supporter Vesta Miller acknowledged as much, stating that since its inception the question has been raised as to who the Arvada Center would principally serve — the city or its region.

This question remains unanswered as the City of Arvada proceeds with recommendations presented by an ad-hoc task force to transfer its authority of the Arvada Center as a municipal department to a board of community volunteers who would assume governance for the center’s mission and operations. Whether or not the Arvada Center can attract individuals to its proposed Foundation Board with the commitment to upholding the insti-

tution’s mission and financial capacity to secure its $11 million operations remains to be seen. However the assumption of such is defensible when considering the Center’s expanding regional base of attendance, quality of programming and operating budget.

Acknowledging the generous financial support that the Center has received throughout the years from the City of Arvada — which regrettably has not received its deserved recognition and appreciation for such — its singular commitment to this one institution has

arguably impeded the development of a more comprehensive, municipal arts and cultural policy that specifically addresses the needs and interests of its citizens and those of the City’s creative community who are neither employed nor represented by the Center and its programs. It is likely no coincidence that the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) funds only two to three small arts programs in Arvada outside of the Arvada Center.

A study commissioned by the BonfilsStanton Foundation in 2010-11, during my tenure as executive director of the Arvada Center, presented recommendations similar to those of the recent ad-hoc task force on the governance structure of the Center. The earlier study, however, also proposed a concurrent line of inquiry that would identify the values, goals, roles and expectations of a municipal arts and cultural program “dedicated to the broader community,” which the City has yet to commence and which should

not be negotiated primarily within the context of a future operating agreement between the City and Arvada Center.

Rather, Arvada City Council and management should use the proposed emancipation of the Arvada Center as an opportunity to develop a long overdue public policy on arts and cultural services for Arvada. Additionally, the City would be well served by commissioning a study in the coming months on other municipal arts programs in our region — reportedly not within the scope of duties of the ad-hoc task force — which not only would inform the development of an arts and cultural policy for Arvada, but also provide invaluable insight toward the City’s ultimate assignment of its “crown jewel.”

Lakewood high has a lesson for Congress When America woke up on October 25, we heard one gigantic roar from Colorado because Lakewood High School won Good Morning America’s contest to have hugely popular singer Katy Perry perform at their school.

Lakewood High School submitted a performance of their own that wowed Perry enough to select their entry—a lip dub video of her hit single “Roar”—as the winner from hundreds of other similar entries from 44 states.

Lip dubs are wildly popular on the Internet, from Isaac’s joyful “Marry You” proposal, to Highlands Ranch’s own Missy Franklin synching to “Call Me Maybe” with fellow USA Olympic Swim Team members.

I recommend searching the web for both.

This kind of joy is why I’m so proud of Lakewood High School. When Perry announced the winner during the GMA broadcast on October 18, she said, “Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit … thousands of kids coming together to ‘Roar’.”

What makes Lakewood’s win a win for all of us is that so many diverse groups wanted it, joining together to create a video viewed more than one million times via the Internet even before Perry’s announcement that they had won.

If only Congress had such a spirit of togetherness.

Although the circumstances of the two situations differ, of course, Lakewood High School’s joyous effort is in stark juxtaposition to the deep and painful wound of our nation’s recent government shutdown.

In my experience, groups of high school students can be just as divisive as any political posturers, perhaps more so.

At my very small high school — less than 100 students per graduating class — jocks disdained cowboys, and Home Ec and Shop students rarely mingled with those pursuing Science Fair awards and publishing the school newspaper. Sadly, in the 1970s, racial tension was a huge factor in school relations.

From what I know today, these types of ruptures still exist. My creative writing

Lucky strike in Blackhawk Halloween is in the rearview mirror as is the end of Daylight Savings Time and the Thanksmas season is upon us. I hear that Black Friday, which used to be a deluge of great sales the day after Thanksgiving, has already begun. Whaaat? Is nothing sacred? Well, since there’s nothing I can do about any of this, I think I’ll just enjoy it.

I’ll take what appeals to me and leave the rest for someone else.

I actually ended up on the black side of the ledger after two recent trips to the Mardi Gras Casino in Black Hawk. The first venture was with the Apex (fitness) Center staff, family and friends where I got to see lots of people I hadn’t seen since I retired from Apex Child Watch last March.

I ended up a little in the red on that occasion, but I did get a free meal out of the deal. The second trip was with the Apex Silver Sneakers (as the name implies, it’s for old people … at least “old” according to the calendar).

We were supposed to be back on the bus at 2 p.m. I got near the exit about 1:45 p.m. and decided to play a penny slot for a couple of minutes. I was playing 25 lines/25 cents a pull. Much to my surprise, which later turned to dismay, I hit the bonus and ended up with 332 free games!

People were now gathering to get back on the bus and I still had over 300 games to go. I was completely flustered, to say the least. I left the machine and stopped a fellow traveler whom I asked to find our fearless leaders to ask them what I should do.

It was finally determined that the bus,

students tell me about kids who are invisible unless they are athletes, and about kids who are ostracized because of their socioeconomic backgrounds. Race, faith, and sexual orientation are also still cause for scorn … or worse.

At their most benign, such differences are like two sides of the political aisle throwing spit wads at each other while the teacher is looking away. No recalcitrant students get their hands slapped and someone else is left to clean up the mess.

Wake up, Congress, and take a cue from Isaac, from Missy Franklin, and especially from Lakewood High School’s 80 different clubs and 2,000 students who came together in joy and strength.

You don’t have to win a Katy Perry concert, which, by the way, is benefiting Colo-

and all the people on it, would wait ‘til the games ran their course. The game count finally hit zero and, after all those games, I ended up with a grand total of $100.

Not bad for a quarter investment. When I sheepishly and apologetically got back on the bus, I was greeted with a chorus of “Where’s my share?” I figure that after deducting my “expenses” I could give each passenger about 37 cents. If you have a group who wants to go to Black Hawk, I can definitely recommend the Mardi Gras and their host Barb. They give lots of perks and treat their guests very well. I guess they did pay me to say that … now that I think of it.

And, speaking of football, how ‘bout those Broncos? And, how ‘bout those CSU Rams? I love football season as much as I love baseball. I’m still teary-eyed over Todd Helton’s last game. I decided I had to be there so I bought a ticket on game day and went by myself. I’m so glad I did. Todd is terrific!

Dancing for the harvest Theater production draws parallels between 1930s Ireland and today

creader@ourcoloradonews.com What is the trick to take a play that happens in 1930s Ireland and make it relevant to modern audiences?

It is by tapping into a creative energy that dissolves the barrier between audience and actors, according to Janine Kehlenbach, artistic director of the 11 Minutes Theatre Company.

WHAT: “Dancing at T h e Lughnasa” presented by 11 Festival Minutes Theatre Company Playhouse, WHERE: Festival Playhouse 5665 Olde 5665 Olde Wadsworth Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada Blvd., is WHEN: Nov. 14-16 playing 7:30 p.m. host to the COST: $20 (check or cash 11 Minutes at door) Theatre INFORMATION: 720-333Company’s 3499 production of Brian Friel’s “Dancing at Lughnasa” from Nov. 14-16. Showtime will be 7:30 p.m. on all three nights.

“Friel writes in this really in this really poetic way, and he writes beautifully about language,” Kehlenbach said. “He does write about Irish issues, but this show really transcends the time and connects a lot to what is happening today.”

The story is a memory play, told by an adult Michael (Andrew Uhlenhopp) recounting two separate nights three weeks apart when he was 7 years old,

Kate (Margaret Amateis Casart ) warns Christina (Dawn Bower) about the dangers of the changing world in “Dancing at Lughnasa.” living in the town of Ballybeg in northern Ireland’s County Donegal.

Michael remembers his five unmarried sisters, Kate, Maggie, Agnes, Rosie and Christina Mundy and the day when their oldest brother Jack (Charley Ault) — a Catholic missionary — returned from 25 years serving in Uganda.

Jack has returned to his family almost unrecognizable, much of his rigid Catholicism gone, and he has become far more interested in the native tribes he worked with in Uganda.

Michael’s father Gerry (Kevin Leonard) is infrequently around, but he is leaving the country to fight in Spain against Franco’s fascist forces.

Kehlenbach said the drama in the play comes from the tension and interplay between the old and new world, as the sisters struggle to deal with the changes in the world around them.

There is also the duality of the Christian and pagan rites that Jack brings to

the family.

“The family is kind of caught in this time warp” she said. “What do we do in a world of new technology? What is at the base of who we are? I hope that people walk away and think about what’s their connection to the rest of humanity, and where are we going?”

For Kehlenbach and the cast, these questions are just now as they were when the play takes place “There’s great joy with the interplay between the sisters, but there is a lot of longing for what could have been in all of their lives,” said Janet Mylott, who plays Agnes Mundy. “There are certain social forces — both then and now — that makes people lose certain parts of their being.”

That is certainly true for Kate (Margaret Amateis Casart), who is the oldest sister, and has been shouldered with the responsibility of taking care of the family, as well as dealing with the piousness required by the Catholic church.

“The words she uses most are responsibility and obligation,” said Casart. “She’s the only one with a job, and has taken on the traditionally male role of being the bread-winner for this family.”

Every sister has her role, and Maggie (Sasha Fisher ) is the joker, but according to Fisher, the humor is used for peacekeeping in the family. She also may be the most private, dealing with the setbacks in her life in a quite way.

“She helps to diffuse all the tension, and bring everyone together,” she said.

“A lot of her life has passed her by, and she is starting to realize this might be it.”

Kehlenbach said that the relationships and community created by the cast is what makes the show special, and what will reach audiences.

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You enjoy the attention early in the week, but it might be a good idea to opt for some privacy by week’s end so that you can have more time to consider an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You unearthed some surprising facts. Now you need to consider how to use them to your advantage. Meanwhile, it might be best to keep what you’ve learned secret for now.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A comment by a colleague piques your curiosity to know more. Best advice: You’ll find people more likely to offer information if you’re discreet when making your inquiries.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your energy levels begin to rise by midweek. This allows you to catch up with your heavy workload and still have plenty of get-up-and-go to go out on the town this weekend.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re probably roaring your head off about a perceived slight from a longtime critic. Ignore it. That person might just be trying to goad you into doing something you might later regret.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) The early part of the week is open to spontaneity. Then it’s time to settle into your usual routine to get all your tasks done. A personal situation could require more attention from you.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A meeting of the minds on a workplace project might well develop into something more personal for Libras looking for romance.

Aspects are also favorable for platonic relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A more-positive mood might be difficult to assume in light of a recent problem involving the health of someone special. But by week’s end, your emotional barometer should start to rise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Look for a changed attitude from a former adversary once he or she realizes you have your colleagues’ full support.

Now you can refocus your energies on that workplace project.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This time, a difference of opinion might not be resolved in your favor.

But be patient. It ultimately could all work out to your advantage, as new information begins to develop.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A tug of war develops between the artistic Aquarian’s creative aspect and his or her practical side. Best advice: Prioritize your schedule so you can give appropriate time to both.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You could be entering a career phase awash with job-related demands. But avoid being swamped by the overflow and, instead, keep treading water as you deal with demands one by one.

The do’s and don’ts for online dating Editor’s Note: This is the first of a twopart series.

I recently read research that says that 11 percent of adults that have been in a relationship for 10 years or less have met their current spouse or longterm romantic partner online. So perhaps it is time to review what an effective online/cell phone profile consists of, along with the do’s and don’ts of online dating.

First, the DON’TS (next week I will list the DO”S): Some people stay on online dating sites for years, sifting through hundreds or even thousands of potential partners, but never truly connecting with anyone.

Because there are so many choices on internet dating sites, some people get into the habit of looking for reasons to reject rather than accept. S/he is too tall/ short, wants/doesn’t want or has children, has a different religion or political affiliation, and so on. Obviously, some of these criteria are important to you, and they become effective screening tools.

But don’t be so picky that you wind up rejecting everyone.

Don’t misrepresent yourself. Don’t give a false age, weight, body type, height,

income/financial status, marital status, education or profession--and if you are recently separated, divorced or have recently recycled back to being single, say so. You do not want a potential mate to feel let down on the first date because you said you were athletic (after all, you played a game of tennis earlier this year), but they can see that you’re a bit flabby and untoned. Also, it’s never a good idea to attempt to begin a new relationship with a lie (“Did my profile say I was 39?

I don’t know why they’re saying that. I’m really 49”). Trust is vitally important to a relationship, and no one can afford to create trust issues right off the bat and expect a relationship to thrive. (For the record, the most common online profile

lies women use is to misrepresent their age, weight or body type. Men are more likely to misrepresent their height, income/financial status and body type.)

Don’t post photos of your children, family members, pets or of your ex. A potential mate might meet all these in good time, but s/he is not going to choose you because of them. And don’t post old photos — make sure all your photos are recent.

You definitely don’t want a potential sweetheart to be disappointed when s/ he meets you, so post pictures of yourself the way you look today, not how you looked in the past.

Don’t spend a lot of time writing (or phoning) back and forth until you can meet each other in person and determine that there’s chemistry and mutual attraction. If you’re not attracted to the other person, the relationship is going to fail no matter how good your connection is, so don’t waste a lot of time trying to connect unless you know this is someone you really want — and someone who appears to want you back.

Don’t choose to meet people you know you’re going to reject anyway.

Don’t play it too safe. Take all necessary

security precautions, but the bonding and falling in love process isn’t emotionally safe, and it requires you to let someone else in. Risk getting rejected rather than playing it too safe, because playing it really safe all but insures that you’ll fail.

Don’t run away from a promising opportunity. Promising opportunities don’t present themselves every day.

Don’t allow online dating to become an obsession. If you’re not careful, it will take up all your free time.

The meeting/dating/relating/mating process is likely to take you longer than you expect it to. Don’t get discouraged and give up if you encounter multiple disappointments. You’re not going to hit a home run unless you’re in the game.

Concert aids flood victims Colorado Rising, a benefit concert for flood relief featuring performances

by Dave Matthews, The Fray, Big Head Todd and The Monsters, Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites and Neyla Pekarek of The Lumineers, Devotchka and Nathaniel Rateliff, raised $650,000 on Oct. 27 at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield.

And from what I was told through emails and Facebook posts, the evening of unprecedented entertainment from Colorado musicians was a smash hit. The money raised will go to www.liveunitedcolorado.org, the United Ways of Colorado Flood Recovery Fund.

“It’s no surprise that the entire music community from musicians to fans stepped up in a time of need for Colorado,” said Chuck Morris, president and CEO of concert organizer AEG Live Rocky Mountains. “Thank you all.”

Trivia at Inverness

WorldDenver, a nonprofit community organization dedicated to advancing an understanding of global affairs and cultures, is hosting its first Global Cup Challenge trivia fundraiser from 6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 15 at the Inverness Hotel and Conference Center in Arapahoe County.

The evening, with beverages sponsored by Molson Coors Brewing Co., will begin with a pub-food-themed buffet dinner following by an international trivia competition.

Teams of five will compete in five rounds of questions based on current affairs, geography, businesses and organizations as well as globally minded professionals testing their knowledge to win donated prizes and a year of bragging rights.

Celebrity quiz masters include: Kay Landen and Joanne Posner-Mayer (event co-chairs), Carolyn Richards, Joe Megyesy, Katie Evans, Alice Anneberg, Laurie Zeller, Kim Savit, Beverley Simpson and Selena Dunham. Greg Dobbs and Anna Alejo will serve as celebrity quiz masters for the Challenge.

Funds raised will support WorldDenver’s programs: Denver World Affairs Council, Young Professionals, International Visitor Leadership Program, Home Hospitality, GlobaLiteracy and WorldDenver Talks.

For registration materials, event information and sponsorship opportunities, go to www.globalcupchallenge.org.

Bonanno ventures into Venue

Frank Bonanno is the Denver restaurant industry’s Energizer Bunny.

And although he’s built an empire than includes seven restaurants, two bars and a pie shop, he’s busting a move into the hip Highland neighborhood by opening a sandwich shop in the former Venue Bistro space at 3609 E. 32nd Ave., according to a post at the blog www.denver.eater.com.

Bonanno intends to offer gourmet sandwiches with house-cured meats, according to the Eater story.

Project brings mothers to the fore

‘Mommy Rants’ provides day of pampering, humor in play

By Clarke Reader

creader@ourcoloradonews.com The Athena Project is taking the theater experience to a whole new level, giving mothers, fathers and families a chance to be pampered before the show starts.

The project will be presenting “The Mommy Rants” by local playwrights Connie Ferger and Christie Winn in the Rotunda Building at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, 1600 Pierce St., on Saturday, Nov. 9 and 16 and Sunday, Nov. 10.

Showtimes will be — Saturday at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m., 1 and 4 p.m.

WHAT: The Athena Project “It’s really the ultimate day presents “The Mommy out for mothers,” Ferger said. “As Rants” mothers we tried to think about WHERE: Rotunda Building things that mothers would love at RMCAD to do, and so we included all of 1600 Pierce St., Lakewood that in the pre-show.”

WHEN: Saturdays - Nov. Visitors are encouraged to 9 and 16 arrive for the show 45 minutes 1, 4 and 7 p.m. before it starts, and take advanSunday, Nov. 10 tage of free massages, baked 10 a.m., 1 and 4 p.m. goods and high-end coffee and COST: $18 drinks. There will also be artists INFORMATION: 303-219— including some students from 0882 or www.athenaproRMCAD — selling their works. jectfestival.org To really give mothers everything they could want, there will also be several child-care options available.

“We really wanted to set this all up around a mother’s schedule,” Ferger said. “That’s why we have the kind of unusual show times, which we think offers better options for women.”

The story of “The Mommy Rants” is a comedy and centers around a baby shower thrown for soon-to-be mother Samantha, by her cousin Ann. In attendance are a variety of different mothers, and mothers-to-be, as well as a stay at home father and Samantha’s sister Becky, who doesn’t want to have kids.

“We wrote all sorts of characters in these different stages, who are pushed together by the fact that Samantha is late to her own shower,” Winn said. “They have dialogue with each other, and inner dialogues, that really drive the tensions.”

Ferger and Winn met at a screenwriting program, when Winn ended up performing a monologue that Ferger wrote. Winn said she saw a play in the monologue, and added a few characters, then Ferger added a few more, and the process expanded from there.

Both their husbands also chimed in during the writing process, which went from 2008 to 2010 when the play was produced for the first time at the Theatre O in Boulder.

This is the second time the show is being produced, and Ferger and Winn said it has been updated, and new humor has been added.

While the show certainly focuses on mothers and women, both fathers and men will find things to enjoy in the play.

Karen (Ally Fleckenstein, left) and Ginny (Suzanne Nepi, right) work through how their characters might interact with each other during a rehearsal for “The Mommy Rants.”

“Everybody is welcome to the show,” Winn said.

“We’ve had all ages and both men and women come to the show and enjoy it. It’s really, really funny, and everyone will have a laugh.”

The Athen Project was founded by Angela Astle — who is directing “The Mommy Rants” — as a way to promote women and girls in the arts, and works with girls in grades six through nine on playwriting and puts on a major festival in March, celebrating women’s contributions to the local art world.

2011, has found new digs inside the Las Margaritas space at 1035 E. 17th Ave. in Uptown. Las Margaritas will close after 19 years at that location.

The new Argyll space, renamed Argyll Whisky Beer, will undergo a remodel and expansion of the kitchen and bar area.

The bar menu will include the largest whisky library in Colorado, according to Eater. Executive chef will be John Broening, who runs the kitchen at Thompson’s Le Grand Bistro.

Colorado eateries among best

More Denver and Boulder eateries are taking their rightful place alongside their bigger-city brethren on national “best” lists.

Case in point: Here comes Travel + Leisure magazine’s 30 Best Italian Restaurants in the U.S., which included Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder on the lauded

list.

Said T+L: “Boulder isn’t the first place you’d look for one of America’s best Italian restaurants, but it certainly shouldn’t be last. The philosophy of master sommelier Bobby Stuckey and chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson’s Italian restaurant in the shadow of the Rockies is based on the neighborhood restaurants in the subalpine region of northeast Italy — informal gathering places inspired by the cuisine and culture of Friuli.”

The same story listed the best sushi and best vegetarian restaurants in the U.S., with Sushi Sasa in Denver and Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant in Boulder as the Colorado winners.

Boulder’s best biscuits

Not to be outdone by Travel + Leisure, Food and Wine magazine released its “best biscuits in the U.S.” list, and included Dot’s Diner in Boulder in the mix.

Food and Wine said, “This 30-year-old diner is a Boulder mainstay (popular with both tourists and hippies) and is known for its tender buttermilk biscuits, made in regular and gluten-free versions. Regu-

lars swear by the A.M. sandwich: a warm biscuit filled with a scrambled egg, melted cheddar, and a choice of ham, avocado or vegetarian sausage.”

Top spots

I told you last week that Lakewood was included in the Top 100 Best Places to Live on livability.com’s inaugural ranking, but that was only part of Colorado’s prized participation. Culinary Colorado’s Claire Walter (thanks, Claire!) pointed out that there’s more to the story.

While Lakewood ranked No. 88 (besting Scottsdale at No. 89), Aurora scored No. 49, and Boulder came in at an impressive No. 2. Topping the lauded list was Palo Alto, Calif., which I’m proud to say is my hometown (think Stanford University, John Elway, Eddie McCaffrey, Andrew

Luck, etc.).

The Transcript 17

November 7, 2013

Adversity a boon for Broncs If a poll had been taken prior to this year’s NFL season asking which team would lead the AFC West at the halfway point, there would have been fewer votes for the Kansas City Chiefs than the amount of groceries you’re allowed to have in the express lane.

The Chiefs were a poor excuse of a team last year. They were Oliver Twist poor. They were news reporter salary poor. They were just plain poor.

But what a difference a year makes.

In less time than it takes to thrust a tomahawk chop, the Chiefs have gone from being the worst team in the NFL last year to having the league’s the best record so far this season.

So the Denver Broncos now have some competition in pursuit of the AFC West title this year — and that’s the best thing that could have happened to the team in orange.

After a bumpy 2-3 start last year, the Broncos steamrolled the 11 remaining games, piling up an astronomical 346 points, while allowing just 175.

The Broncos’ dismantling of just about every team they came across made for some big-time Sunday yawners last year. Seriously, I found myself switching from Broncos games to “Antiques Roadshow” replays, simply for the sake of getting a little drama in my life.

And seeing Denver’s AFC West rivals pitifully try to keep pace with the Broncos high-octane scoring machine was like watching Jackie Gleason’s Sheriff Buford T. Justice chase after Burt Reynolds in “Smokey in the Bandit.”

Like Sheriff Justice, AFC teams would mutter, “What we’re dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law,” as Denver whizzed up and down the field, scoring at will.

The Broncos went 6-0 against the Chiefs, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders last year, three teams that had a combined record of 13-35.

But Denver paid a mighty big price in the playoffs for their stroll-in-thepark-like schedule last year, when the battle-tested Baltimore Ravens came to the Mile High City and shocked the football world.

But while the Broncos have won their share of blowouts this season, they’ve also had games where they’ve been tested. And I have a feeling that’s going to be the case the rest of the way, for the team’s betterment.

In five of Denver’s eight games this year, the Broncos have either been trailing, tied or slightly ahead at halftime. The win against Dallas was a nail-biting shootout, while the Broncos had to rebound from a 21-7 3rd quarter deficit in their win against Washington.

And, of course, we all know what happened in Indianapolis a few weeks ago, thank you very much, Ronnie Hillman.

A wealth of trivia

Heading into the second half of the season, the Chiefs, Chargers and Raiders already have more combined wins (16) than they had all of last year. And the AFC West has more wins than any other division in football.

It’s not just the vastly-improved Chiefs that are providing more competition for Denver. Last year, throws

by San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers missed Chargers receivers more times than Von Miller has missed court dates. But this year, Rivers seems revived under new head coach Mike McCoy, the former Broncos offensive coordinator.

And even the Raiders — yes, the Raiders! — are playing decent football, a team that is capable of pulling off a few upsets in the second half of the season.

Three of Broncos’ next four games are on the road and their schedule in that stretch is brutal: at San Diego, Kansas City, at New England and at Kansas City. So Denver has its work cut out for them this year. And that’s a very good thing. Cakewalks may look nice on a Candy Land board game, but they don’t mean a thing once the postseason comes around.

And the Broncos’ playoff opponents are certain to be more capable of catching them than Buford T. Justice.

The fine art of gift giving

The T

As we get into November the holidays start to pop up and of course that means you have to prepare for them. Most of our celebrations involve food, drink and the spreading of good cheer and everybody knows where to go to find that stuff. It seems like the major quandary for a lot of us is when we need to start shopping for gifts and have that person on our lists that either already has everything you could think of or doesn’t seem to have an interest in anything in particular. Then there are the people like me that have plenty of things they like and are interested in, but most of them involve some kind of specialized items that you have to be an expert on to be able to shop for them.

Luckily I have a solution for all of us who are kind of hard to shop for. Art! Now, when it comes to art, everyone has different tastes in things and some people have a great interest in art and cover their houses with paintings and sculptures and have quite a collection, so for those people it’s kind of a no-brainer to think of art as a gift. But there are others who you might not think of giving an artistic gift to until you stop and give some thought to what kind of hand made items are available besides paintings and sculpture.

There is a terrific group in the metro area called the Castle Clay Artists and they make pottery and other items that can be just the thing to give those people who are hard to buy for. They will be having their annual Holiday Show and Sale coming up at the Jefferson Unitarian Church located at 14350 West 32nd Ave. in Golden.

The show runs Thursday and Friday, Nov. 14-15, 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 16, 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. It will be featuring the works from 25 clay artists and potters, three glass artists, 10 artists making jewelry and more. Admission is free.

If you haven’t tried shopping at an art show, go for it. You will be surprised at how many great things you can find there, and usually at reasonable prices. Hand made coffee mugs, bowls and decorative items. Interesting and very unique jewelry in gold

and silver with unusual stones. You can even find an artist there doing hand made soaps.

There is just something special about getting a gift that you know is unique and that no one else has. It’s nice to look at it and know that it was created by an artist that took pride in what they were making instead of something that was stamped out of a machine and sold to millions of other people on TV. Guys, if you want to give a piece of jewelry to that special lady in your life, trust me when I tell you that a one of a kind, hand made work of art will pay off for years if everyone she knows asks her about it and comments on it whenever she wears it.

You will find much cooler pieces at a show like this than at the chain jewelry stores and you won’t have to sort through and endless array of diamond stuff that all looks alike.

Also, there is nothing wrong with finding something special just for yourself.

“Experimenting with Babies” by Shaun Gallagher 2013, Penguin $16 / $17 Canada 205 pages “10 Things You Might Not Know about Nearly Everything” by Mark Jacob and Stephan Benzkofer 2013, Midway Agate $15 / $17.95 Canada 286 pages “1,227 Quite Interesting Facts to Blow Your Socks Off” by John Lloyd, John Mitchinson, and James Harkin 2013, Norton $15.95 334 pages So whaddaya know?

Probably quite a bit, when it comes right down to it. You know where you are, what’s in front of you, and how to read these words, for starters.

You know what it’s like outside, what you had for breakfast, and what you did last night.

But do you know about Jimmy Carter’s gaffe, or Desi Arnaz’s huge near-mistake, or how a baby will react to a spinning toy? These are things you’ll learn when you’ve got three new trivia books in front of you.

First of all, if there’s a wee one in your family this year or if someone with an infant is visiting, you’ll want to read “Experimenting with Babies” by Shaun Gallagher. Though the title may seem tongue-incheek, this book offers up 50 (very safe) activities you can do with a very young child, all of which will teach you a little bit of science, a little bit of physiology, and a lot about how babies develop. You’ll see how motor skills begin, how preferences emerge, what babies know, what researchers are just starting to understand, and how it all relates to the health of a baby.

Best of all, you’ll have a lot of interesting fun with a small child. Babysitting, anyone?

Next, you’ll never again feel like a dummy at any classroom or party once you’ve read “10 Things You Might Not Know About Nearly Everything” by Mark Jacob and Stephan Benzkofer.

Through dozens of 10-Lists, you’ll learn about oddball things like hair and elephants. You’ll see how a Wyoming desperado walked around after he died. You’ll find out what lies beneath Detroit . You’ll discover which city’s resident diners are the best tippers. You’ll be glad you weren’t a royal newlywed in the 18th century. You’ll learn about running, football, and stadiums. And you’ll find out a lot of cool trivia about Chicago because, after all, the authors work at a newspaper there.

And finally, if you’re a bounce-around-and-browse kind of reader, then “1,227 Quite Interesting Facts to Blow Your Socks Off” by John Lloyd, John Mitchinson, and James Harkin was practically written for you.

With this book in your mitts, you’ll find out what simple thing Elizabeth Taylor didn’t know how to do. You’ll read about Richard Nixon’s college insecurity. You’ll learn Fidel Castro’s time-saving secret.

You’ll see what other book L. Frank Baum published 113 years ago (hint: it’s about as far from Oz as you can get). You’ll discover the interesting meanings of “smellsmock,” “gymnophoria,” “engastration,” “gongoozler,” “chork,” and “gynotikilobomassophile.”

You’ll find out what cocaine does to your heart. And you’ll be very thankful that you’re not a tiger shark embryo or the wife of Zeus.

I love books like this because they’re great fun and easy to enjoy. With these three books, you will asolare for hours. Time with them will be autotelic, and you’ll dazzle everyone with your brilliance. Yes, there are other trivia books out there, but these are three of the best and you can’t live without them – you know?

Denver Metro area residents and officials recently converged on the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center to take part in an interactive forum having to do with the forthcoming Gold Line — a commuter rail line that will soon provide transportation between downtown Denver and Wheat Ridge, and places in between.

The Oct. 30 event provided an opportunity for the public to weigh in on plans for amenities that will be located along the Gold Line’s stations, when the rail line begins operating in 2016.

The 11.2 mile Gold Line will provide service from Denver’s Union Station to Wheat Ridge, with stops along the way in northwest Denver, Adams County and Arvada.

An 85-foot long commuter train that will have the capacity to carry 232 passengers will stop at seven stations once it leaves Union Station. Individual planning groups are currently in the process of figuring out what kinds of amenities will surround each station, be they housing, businesses or recreation opportunities.

“What we’ve done here tonight is to provide an opportunity to bring in the public and said, ‘This is what these folks have done. Do you agree with it? Do you think we’ve missed the mark?’” said Paul Aldretti, a sustainable communities coordinator for the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

Aldretti’s group is behind the Sustainable Communities Initiative, which is providing planning and implementation activities for the Gold Line, and two other Den-

Wally Weart of the Gold Line Advisory Committee speaks as model trains that show the difference between an RTD light rail train and a commuter rail train are displayed during an Oct. 30 forum inside the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center. Commuter trains along the Gold Line will provide transportation between Denver’s Union Station and Wheat Ridge. Photo by Vic Vela ver-area commuter rails that will begin operation 2016.

Each station has its own working group that drive plans around the Gold Line stops. The groups are made up of representatives from public works, planning, economic development and other fields. Those groups receive feedback from separate, corridor stakeholder committees, which are made up of residents and representatives from the small business community.

Those who attended the forum were able to “walk the line” of the Gold Line corridor, where they

could see each station’s vision, opportunities and challenges, as they relate to station planning.

Each station’s goals vary. The two Adams County stations, which be called the Pecos and Federal stations, look to serve as “employment centers” for the county, offering “a strong industrial jobs base” there.

Arvada will have three stations along the corridor: Sheridan, Old Towne and Arvada Ridge.

The Sheridan Station hopes to “provide diverse employment opportunities.” And the vision behind the Arvada Old Towne Sta-

tion seeks to revitalize Old Towne “as a vibrant, 18-hour downtown” that will provide “additional retail, employment, dining and living opportunities” there.

Each station has its own challenges, as well. For example, environmental factors could affect development along the Pecos Junction Station.

Much of the area is a former landfill and there could be floodplain issues there. And high land prices that would surround the Arvada Olde Towne Station might make affordable housing in that area difficult to come by.

Attendees were also able to provide input on what they would like to see in each of the stations.

For example, the Arvada Ridge station, which will be located in close proximity to Red Rocks Community College, received several comments that had to do with bicycle parking and opportunities for student housing.

Wheat Ridge hopes to create a “mixed-use ‘village’ with a slightly urban character” to the Ward Station.

City Councilwoman Joyce Jay, who attended the forum, said it’s “exciting” to think about what that could entail, when all is said and done.

“I mean, the possibilities are endless,” said Jay. “Employment and attractive, higher density housing ... We could have a theater area; it could be a destination for Wheat Ridge.”

The Gold Line is an RTD FasTracks project that has received funding through a $1 billion federal grant. Groundbreaking for the Gold Line corridor occurred at the future Arvada Old Towne Station in 2011.

Golden goal goes to Denver North in playoffs Demons still may be best team in all of Jeffco

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — The golden opportunity didn’t go the Demons way this time.

In a game where it looked as though neither team would be able to score No. 4 Denver North finally broke through and broke the hearts of the No. 13 Golden Demons in a 1-0 loss in the second round of the state playoffs last Tuesday at Denver North High School.

After a scoreless first half North converted on one of the few opportunities in the entire game when a ball misplayed

by Golden got deflected and eventually found senior Danny Batista.

Batista, one of the most prolific scorers in the entire state, held true to his reputation and scored the game’s only goal on a breakaway.

“Give credit to my teammates and to Christian (Espinosa) who found me after the deflection,” Batista said. “And give credit to Golden too because they played as tough as any team has played us this season.”

Espinosa scored 25 goals this season in

18 games and had seven multi-goal games.

While the Demons certainly played tough it is also a tough loss for a Golden team that believed they had the goods to go even further in the tournament.

But most of the teams in the playoffs are quality teams so not always does the so-called best team win — it’s the team playing the best at this point in the tournament that has a chance make a deep run.

And Golden was certainly not outplayed; they just found themselves in a middle of a game that didn’t feature many scoring chances.

“They made the most of what was very

few chances and they capitalized on their one good opportunity,” Golden coach Josh Nolker said. “It’s not the way we wanted it to end but we had a good season.”

The Demons wrap up their season with a 10-3-4 record. They are also the unofficial best team in Jeffco in all classifications as they beat 5A powerhouses in Ralston Valley and Arvada West during the regular season.

North lost their following game 2-1 to Ponderosa leaving Evergreen as the last Jeffco team still in either 4A or 5A bracket.

Evergreen will play No. 7 Cheyenne Mountain Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Sports Authority Field-Parker.

A-West, Pomona finish strong in competition Lakewood’s Roshak top Jeffco finisher

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com THORNTON — Jeffco once again proved to be a force in Colorado high school gymnastics.

Overland was the 5A team state champions with a score of 187.9500, and Thompson Valley proved to be the best 4A team in the state recording a score of 179.2750 Saturday at Thornton High School.

Mountain Range’s Taylor Molliconi was 5A’s best individual performer with a 38.600 score.

And Thompson Valley’s Alyssa Carroll was 4A’s best individual performer finishing with a score of 37.475.

However, breathing down Overland’s neck in 5A was a trio of Jeffco teams in Arvada West, Pomona and Lakewood.

A-West finished as the fourth best team in the state with a score of 183.1750. But the Wildcats also had one of the state’s best rise to the occasion as Katlin Kerl won the uneven bars individual title with a score of 9.700.

Lakewood’s Hana Roshak, Jeffco’s top all-around finisher, performs her floor routine Friday at Thornton High School.

Photo by Daniel Williams Kerl also finished eighth overall on the beam with a score of 9.550.

In addition, Kerl’s teammate Veronica Vasina finished as 5A’s eighth overall indi-

vidual after strong finishes on the vault and uneven bars.

Jeffco’s best overall individual finisher was Lakewood’s Hanna Roshak. Although

the Tigers did not have as strong of a complete team as A-West and Pomona they might have Jeffco’s best overall gymnast in Roshak.

Roshak finished seventh all-around with a score of 37.475, after finishing ninth on the beam and with the 11th best overall floor exercise.

Pomona finished as the sixth best team in the state with a team score of 178.4250.

The Panthers had several girls contribute to their impressive finish including Annabel Spence who finished as the 15th best all-around performer with a score of 36.925.

Shea Zemen finished right behind Spence as the 18th best overall performer and the pair just beat out teammate Hadley Hagemann, who finished 25th overall in allaround.

Evergreen was the only 4A Jeffco team that made it to state, finishing third overall as team with a score of 176.0000.

Evergreen was fueled by a two teammates who both finished top six in allaround scores.

Callie Cohen finished as the fourth best overall competitor with a score of 36.500, and Erika Kissler finished two spots behind her in sixth with a all-around score of 36.125.

Missing the cut

Wheat Ridge, with its 6-4 overall record, will be forced to watch the 4A playoffs from home this season. Photo by Daniel Williams

Some Jeffco teams left on the sideline of playoffs

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com WHEAT RIDGE — Several Jeffco teams found themselves on the outside looking in at the 4A and 3A football playoff brackets released last Sunday.

Wheat Ridge finished the season ranked 18th in the 4A wildcard standings with 81.8 wild card points.

However, only the top 16 teams in 4A and 3A qualify for the 16-team state tour-

nament.

The Farmers finished their season 6-4 and although Wheat Ridge doesn’t usually rebuild but more like reloads, this season was a transition season.

Wheat Ridge finished just 0.7 wild card points behind No. 16 Vista Ridge, who also finished 6-4.

Green Mountain also finished outside of the state tournament after a 5-5 season which gave them 75.7 wild card points.

In 3A Jeffco, D’Evelyn also narrowly missed the tournament finishing with the 18th most wild card points with 72.4.

D’Evelyn finished with an overall record of 6-4 and will miss the state tourna-

ment by 2.7 wild card points behind No. 16 Pueblo East.

The much-deserving Jaguars featured one of the most dynamic offenses in the state, but their defense couldn’t keep up with other high-powered offenses.

According to CHSAA, the seven league champions plus the top remaining wild card team will receive a top 8 seed (as determined by the seeding committee).

Qualifiers nine through 16 are determined by wild card points and seeded by the seeding committee.

In other 3A Jeffco related news: The Class 3A boys and girls state basketball tournaments are heading south

and will move to the Air Force Academy’s Clune Arena beginning this season, it was announced this week.

The tournaments which have been held at CSU’s Moby Arena since 2002 are hoping to create more excitement with the more to the Air Force Academy, CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann said.

In addition, Borgmann said a survey of member schools revealed a desire to move the tournaments closer to a central part of the state.

5A and 4A will remain at CU Boulder, 2A at CSU-Pueblo and 1A at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland.

Pomona’s Marquez scores six touchdowns A-West, Lakewood and Jefferson eliminated

By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA — Pomona used a huge third quarter to pull away from a feisty Fountain-Fort Carson team in a 49-30 playoff victory Friday at North Area Athletic Complex.

No. 8 Pomona scored 21 third quarter points, and although the No. 25 Trojans tried to hang around they simply could not stop the Panthers’ rushing attack.

Pomona senior sensation Chris Mar-

quez rushed the ball 40 times for an incredible 237 yards and six touchdowns, routinely plowing through Fountain-Fort Carson’s defense.

In addition, junior quarterback Justin Roberts was a perfect 7-for-7 for 99 yards and a touchdown.

Making it tough on Pomona was junior running back Charles Tigner who had his own monster effort for FFC. Tigner ran the ball for more than 200 yards which included touchdown runs of 47, 57 and 70 yards.

But Pomona’s defense stepped up in the second half and didn’t give up a single fourth quarter point.

Pomona (8-2) will now play No. 9 Chat-

field at a time yet to be determined either Friday or Saturday at NAAC.

In other Jeffco state football highlights:

Dave Logan and his No. 3 Cherry Creek Bruins beat No. 30 Lakewood 52-12 Friday at Stutler Bowl.

The Tigers who barely squeaked into the playoffs were forced to face a revamped Cherry Creek team that used nearly unstoppable rushing attack to punish Lakewood.

Senior Nathan Starks and junior Milo Hall both rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns each for the Bruins.

Lakewood wraps up its season 3-7, but the Tigers also lost four of those games by

10 points or less.

Also in 5A Jeffco, No. 27 Arvada West was beat by No. 6 Cherokee Trail 40-21 Friday at Legacy Stadium.

A-West wraps up their season 4-6 and with three straight losses, but those losses all came to powerhouses in Ralston Valley, Pomona and Cherokee Trail.

In 2A Jeffco, No. 15 Jefferson made its first trip to the state tournament in decades but was handled by No. 2 Manitou Springs 49-8 Saturday at Manitou Springs High School. The Saints were leveled the undefeated Mustangs, but Jefferson had plenty of field accomplishments this season, which included its first winning season since 1996.
